("Neocon" opening.)
David: MECCA has returned to the Homefront, the Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio, for what is sure to be a wild night of Go Time action! I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and tonight Austin Lee will take on Ronin Fox!
Dick: Also, the Wild Wolf makes his first Toughman Title defense against a former champion in Joey Sprinklers.
David: Plus Anubis takes on Huh, and much more to come.
("I've Got the Power" hits and Katie Piehl makes her way to the ring.)
David: MECCA executor Katie Piehl is on her way to the ring, and she can't be happy about the House of Lords running amok last week.
Dick: Ambushes galore, capped off by the House of Lords screwing Anubis out of a title shot at No Regrets, which now goes to Alan Mayse. You can bet that Katie is going to have something to say about that.
Katie: Hello to all our hometown fans here in Dayton! It's always great to be back here where it all began with MECCA, and even though I'm no longer a co-owner, I am still the executor of the will of the board of directors, and I have been given the power to make decisions here. Last week, I saw something that really bothered me. A great, young, dominant competitor by the name of Anubis was screwed out of a title shot at No Regrets by the House of Lords. Well, I've made no secret of the fact that ever since Lisa Letty attacked me from behind back in May that my goal has been to take down the House of Lords, and look what's happened. They have to send people after my champion, Bryan Danielson, because they no longer have that belt and in fact have lost almost all the titles they won. And as great a match as Alan Mayse vs. Bryan Danielson would be, I just don't think Alan is deserving of a shot at the title after the way he won. At least not one on one. So I think that at No Regrets, we will see the World Title on the line, but Bryan Danielson will defend it in a Three Way Dance. Danielson... Mayse... and Anubis! The best part is, there's nothing Nykk can do about it. I've got the House of Lords on the run, and soon the job I started when I came back in July will be finished, and I will not rest until...
(Nykk comes out on the stage with a mic.)
Nykk: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're right, Katie, I can't do anything about you adding people to matches, regardless of how unfair it actually is. But if you think that a few minor setbacks put the House of Lords on the ropes, you've got another thing coming. The House of Lords rules MECCA, and always will. I'm the one with the real power because someday when you've been let go for not being able to deal with us, I'll still be standing here, owner and the brains behind this company. And we will bring the MECCA Championship back to our camp, but I recognize that in order to move onward and upward and secure our hold on this company, we need to get rid of you.
Katie: What are you going to do, Nykk? Are you going to come in here and beat me up? The former champion threatened by little old me?
Nykk: No. I'm not needed to deal with the likes of you. But I do know two people who would love to beat the snot out of you and put you back on the shelf where I should have let you stay three years ago.
(Shadow and Lisa Letty come out and stalk down to ringside, as Nykk leaves, sliding in and surrounding Katie.)
David: Uh oh, it's the Ladies' Champion and the First Lady of MECCA, and neither of them have any love whatsoever for our former co-owner. This could be a bad situation right here. Katie is pretty tough in her own right, but she's not going to be able to stand up to these two...
(Naomi Leach and Sara Del Rey run out and slide into the ring. Del Rey sends Shadow down with a kick, and Naomi picks up Lisa and dumps her onto the top rope. They double clothesline Shadow, and Del Rey picks her up in the Royal Butterfly. Lisa tries to intervene, but Naomi headbutts her and throws her at Sara, and they get her up in the Royal Butterfly at the same time. After holding them both for a few moments, Naomi grabs Lisa and takes her down with a reverse DDT, as Del Rey throws Shadow over with the powerslam. Naomi goes after Shadow, who gets out of the ring and runs off through the crowd. Sara gets a mic.)
Del Rey: Lisa Letty, I haven't forgotten how you tried to hold back my attempts to take the Ladies' Title from you, but now that you're not the champion anymore, I think I'll just have to try again! And by beating you, that provides me a stepping stone to challenge for that belt, so get your bony butt up and let's go!
David: Del Rey just made a challenge to Lisa, but will she accept?
Dick: Sara Del Rey and Naomi Leach just saved Katie out here, so I would imagine that either one is on her good side to receive a title shot at the moment.
(Lisa tries to run, but Sara grabs her by the hair and drags her to the center of the ring as Rya Zeh rolls in and calls for the bell.)
(FINISH: Del Rey bounces off the ropes and sends Lisa down with a boot to the midsection. She goes for the Royal Butterfly, but Lisa trips her and somersaults into a bridge for a two count. She gets up in the corner and pulls an advancing Del Rey into the second turnbuckle. She goes for the Clockstopper, but Del Rey escapes and hits a German suplex, bridging for the three count.)
Winner: Sara Del Rey
David: The American Angel is victorious, and she is right that beating Lisa is certainly a stepping stone to challenging Shadow!
Dick: What a match between these two, but what about Naomi Leach? She's set her sights on Shadow as well.
David: Maybe we'll get some word on that from Naomi later, but when we come back, the Toughman Title will be on the line.
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Bryan Danielson.)
Bill: I'm here with the MECCA World Champion, the American Dragon Bryan Danielson. Bryan, we just heard Katie Piehl announce that she has added Anubis to your title match with Alan Mayse at No Regrets, making it a Three Way Dance. What are your thoughts on that?
Danielson: For two months, Nykk has been trying to position one of his boys to take my title, and I understand Katie trying to counter his latest move. But since this is a title match, that means Anubis is my enemy also. I don't care if I'm facing one man, two men or a hundred men, this belt is going nowhere. Both Mayse and Anubis better be prepared to tap out or get knocked out.
(In the arena, "Hit That" hits and Joey Sprinklers skateboards his way to the ring.)
David: It's time for a Toughman Title match, and here comes a former champ now.
Dick: Joey Sprinklers has waited a long time to get another chance at the belt he lost back in May, so you know he has to be stoked about this.
("Kobrakai" hits and the Wild Wolf makes his way to the ring.)
David: The Wild Wolf surprised everybody at Scared Stiff, by knocking out Cynric and taking the Toughman Title, the first time the title has changed hands under the knockout provision.
Dick: The Wild Wolf has promised to be a fighting champion, and made his first defense recently against Jack Fletcher, making him tap out on Rundown. Not surprisingly, he now comes face to face with a House of Lords member.
(FINISH: Joey goes for Da Hit, but Wolf counters into an inside cradle for a two count. Joey tries a clothesline, but Wolf ducks and catches the arm, countering into a neckbreaker over the knee. He hits the small package driver and gets the three count.)
Winner: The Wild Wolf
David: The Wild Wolf retains, but of course that could change at any time because anybody is allowed to challenge for the Toughman Title no matter what their position in MECCA's hierarchy.
Dick: That makes it a difficult title to hold onto, but Wolf seems up to the task.
David: Fans, stay with us because when we come back, Austin Lee will take on Ronin Fox!
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "The Way I Am" hits and Austin Lee makes his way to the ring.)
David: What a reception for Austin Lee here in Dayton, and this is a match he's been wanting for a long time.
Dick: No doubt, Austin Lee is... hey!
(Nykk and Ronin Fox run through the curtain and attack Austin from behind. They ram his head into the guardrail multiple times and then Fox throws him into the ring. Nykk gets a chair as Fox kicks Austin in the head. Austin shoves him back, but as he charges, Nykk blasts him in the head with the chair. He lays the chair on the mat and Fox gives Austin the Tail End onto it.)
David: Nykk and Fox have just taken out Austin Lee, and what about our match? What about giving the fans what they paid to see?
(Nykk signals for the Aurora Driver, but Kevin Stone and Eddie Crowe run out. They slug it out with Nykk and Fox, who bail out of the ring and Eddie gets a mic. Officials come out and help the unconscious Lee from the ring.)
Eddie: You two want to ambush people? Well, we know what that feels like. And since Austin's obviously in no condition to wrestle right now, why don't you bring your punk asses in here and make this a tag match?
(Nykk gets a mic.)
Nykk: Hold on, hold on. Eddie, you're not in charge around here. Don't presume to order me around. Last week, I was concerned about you involving yourselves in the number one contenders match, and I took the appropriate measures. But you're right, since Austin is in no shape to compete now, I say we do have a tag match... but it won't be with us. We've got better things to do tonight, so we'll see you on the flip side. Cynric, Alan, come out here and teach these two to mind their own affairs!
(Cynric and Alan Mayse run out and get into the ring as the ref calls for the bell and they slug it out with Stone and Eddie.)
David: It looks like we've got an impromptu tag match, as it will now be Kevin Stone and Eddie Crowe taking on Cynric and Alan Mayse!
Dick: Huh and Joey Sprinklers come to ringside for the match. As Cynric and Mayse go for the Tiger Bomb/Shock Cannon combo on Eddie, Stone nails Cynric with a big boot. Mayse drops Eddie and charges right into a spear from Stone. Eddie gets up and he and Stone give Mayse the elevated Stone Cutter. Meanwhile, Huh throws Cynric his bo. He whacks Eddie in the ribs, and then breaks up the cover with a shot to the back of Stone's head and the ref calls for the bell.)
Winners: Eddie Crowe and Kevin Stone
David: The ref has disqualified the House of Lords, and we're about to see Stone and Eddie get ambushed again!
Dick: This is getting ridiculous, David.
(Huh tackles Stone, and Cynric helps him get Stone out of the ring. They fight on the outside, ramming Stone into the ring post and Cynric takes him down with several kicks. Meanwhile, Alan gives Eddie the Tiger Bomb as Joey gets a chair. He lays it on the mat and gives Eddie Da Sprinklanator onto it. The House of Lords walk up the ramp, arms raised.)
David: We'll take a quick break while we clean up the House of Lords' mess. When we come back, Anubis will be in action against that man Huh.
(Commercial Break)
(In the locker room, Cynric is taking off his wrist tape when Nykk enters.)
Nykk: Hey Cynric, I've just got to say that was absolutely awesome out there. Did you orchestrate that yourself?
Cynric: Yeah, I did.
Nykk: Well, I have to say that your initiative was impressive. You really laid out those guys and got them out of our hair for another week. In fact, you may have seen earlier that Katie put Anubis into the title match at No Regrets. I can put people in matches too. And I think it's not fair to put Anubis in there when there was another guy in that number one contenders' match that deserves it even more. So this Three Way Dance just became a Four Way Dance, and Cynric, you're the fourth man.
Cynric: Are you serious?
Nykk: Deadly serious.
Cynric: Then I'm just going to say that neither Danielson or Anubis can stand in my way, but make no mistake, if Alan tries to stop me from becoming champion I'll take him out too. Anyone who gets in my face, I'll shove this bo so far up their ass that I'll have to rip their head off just to get it out. You've got nothing to worry about, Nykk. At No Regrets, I'm finally bringing that belt back to the House of Lords.
(In the arena, "Pajamarama" hits and Huh makes his way to the ring.)
David: Cynric has been added to the title match at No Regrets, which now makes it a Four Way Dance. And after what we saw earlier, Cynric has every right to be confident of regaining that belt for his teammates.
Dick: We saw Huh out here earlier as well, as he helped put a beatdown on Kevin Stone and Eddie Crowe.
("Kobrakai" hits and Anubis makes his way to the ring.)
David: Anubis plans on going to No Regrets and winning the MECCA Championship, but he has to deal with three other top competitors in MECCA on the way.
Dick: He couldn't have picked a more dangerous field to get involved with, but the man is big, powerful and confident and after his performance against Fox at Scared Stiff, I think he stands a good chance.
(FINISH: Anubis goes up for the Sphinx Splash, but Huh intercepts him with a forearm and slams him down to the mat. He goes up for the moonsault, but Anubis gets back to his feet. He catches Huh on his shoulders and goes for the Sarcophagus, but Huh escapes and pushes him into the ropes, only to be hit with the Ankh Smash. Anubis picks Huh up and plants him with the Sarcophagus, covering for the three count.)
Winner: Anubis
David: Anubis gets the win over Huh, and if he hits that move on Cynric, or Alan, or even Danielson, we could see a new MECCA Champion on November 24.
Dick: Anubis is such a dominating figure in this match that he could dispose of everyone fairly quickly.
David: We'll be right back with more MECCA action!
(Commercial Break)
(In the office, Katie Piehl is with Sara Del Rey.)
Del Rey: So Ms. Piehl, that's what I have planned. I would like a title match against Shadow, and I would like it next week.
Katie: Well, considering that you did save my butt earlier, and beat Lisa in the middle of the ring, and since Shadow has done nothing with the title since winning it, I'm going to give it to you. Next week, it will be Sara Del Rey vs. Shadow, with the Ladies' Title on the line. Win that belt back for us, Sara.
Del Rey: Thank you, Ms. Piehl. I know I can beat Shadow for that belt, and next week I'll show you why the American Angel should be leading the women's division here in MECCA.
(Del Rey leaves, but the Pyro Twins barge in.)
Katie: Jay, Dusty, what could I possibly do for you?
Jay: You saw last week, right? We left both your precious top two teams down and out in the middle of the ring. We want our rematch for the tag titles!
Dusty: We should have been ahead of the Briscoes from the start, since we beat them at Scared Stiff. But it's just as well that Sydal and Delirious retained, because we plan on ending their careers for how they embarrassed us a month ago.
Katie: I already told you the deal last week. Jay, you made a choice and the Briscoes got a shot in your place. But you're right, you are entitled to a rematch, but since the Briscoes put on such a strong showing I think they deserve a rematch as well. Nykk may have made my Three Way Dance a Four Way, but a Three Way Dance will happen at No Regrets. In this case, we're going to settle this feud as Sydal and Delirious defend their tag titles against the Briscoes, and against you two as well.
Jay: Whatever, if we have to beat two teams to get our belts back, so be it. But we're warning you right now, when we win the titles back, we won't be playing around anymore. MECCA will become a field of fire, with us standing in the middle, and anyone who tries to stop us can burn for eternity.
(In the arena, "Ballroom Blitz" hits and Tristan Lee makes his way to the ring.)
David: Two big matches were just made by Katie Piehl. Next week, Shadow defends her Ladies' Title against Sara Del Rey, and at No Regrets, Delirious and Sydal defend the tag titles against the Briscoes and the Pyro Twins!
Dick: And it's time for our main event, as we're apparently going to have a gauntlet style match to determine a contender for the Toughman Title at No Regrets, and I guess Tristan Lee is the first participant.
(Lee gets a mic.)
Tristan: I was in the back warming up for this opportunity tonight, when suddenly I hear that there's a commotion going on in the ring involving my brother. Of course, by the time I got there the damage was done, but I am far from done with the House of Lords. Nykk, Fox, I'm not going to compete in a gauntlet match while my brother is down and out. Why don't you two bring your cowardly asses out here right now? I don't care if I have to take you on in a handicap match or if someone from the back wants to come out and be my partner. You two better get out here right now or I will come back there and find you!
("Third Reich from the Sun" hits and Nykk and Ronin Fox make their way out onto the stage. Nykk has a mic.)
Nykk: Tristan, you don't want any of this. Eddie and Kevin didn't want any of it, and your brother didn't want any of it, but if you insist on calling us out, you're going to meet the exact same fate. So yeah, as far as I'm concerned, we have no problem taking you on right now!
(Nykk throws down the mic and he and Fox run down to the ring. Tristan attacks them, but Nykk and Fox soon get the better of him.)
David: Not a smart move by Tristan Lee, who is obviously angry at his brother being hurt, but unless someone comes out to help...
("The Way I Am" hits and Austin Lee makes his way to the ring, holding an icepack to his neck. He throws the icepack at Nykk, who catches it, only to get a clothesline. Referee David Bowers slides in and calls for the bell.)
David: We have an impromptu tag match for the main event, and we'll bring it to you when we return!
(Commercial Break)
(FINISH: Austin gets the hot tag and cleans house on Nykk and Fox with right hands and clotheslines. He gives Nykk a back body drop, and hits the Rerun Neckbreaker on Fox. He covers, but Nykk breaks up the pin attempt, and beats on Austin's neck with forearms. He and Fox back him into the ropes and whip him to the opposite side. Fox lifts him for a leg lariat from Nykk, but Austin blocks it and elbows Fox in the head. He hooks them both under one arm and drives them down with a double DDT. He tags Tristan back in, who gives Fox a dropkick. Austin puts Nykk on his shoulders, and Tristan goes up top, only to be crotched when Fox stumbles into the ropes. Nykk rolls off Austin's back and gives him a back suplex. He and Fox go up for a double superplex on Tristan, but Austin gets up and charges Nykk, giving him a running kick that sends him over the top rope and to the floor. Fox springboards back in a Tail End attempt, but Austin counters and lifts him into the air, dropping him into position for a piledriver. Tristan comes off the second rope and they hit a Spike Degenerate Driver. Tristan covers as Austin guards against Nykk, who opts not to get in the ring to face Austin, and Tristan gets the three count.)
Winners: Austin and Tristan Lee
David: The Lee Brothers have won this match, and look at Nykk. He wants no part of Austin Lee!
Dick: Austin got some payback after being viciously attacked by Nykk and Fox earlier, and now the Lees are standing tall.
David: We've got one more week of Go Time left before No Regrets, fans, so make sure you join us next week. We'll see you then!
