("Planet Hell" opening.)
David: Go Time comes to you from St. Louis, Missouri, presented by MECCA! I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and we have a big tag title match for the main event tonight as the Briscoes defend against the team of Kevin Stone and Bryan Danielson!
Dick: And that's not all, because we're going to see the Killer Kanines of Anubis and the Wild Wolf take on Nykk and Ronin Fox in tag team action. Plus the rubber match to settle the score between Jamie Chan and Tristan Lee and much more.
("Pump It Up" hits and Epsilon Epsilon Epsilon makes their way to the ring with the party pallets and their sorority sisters. However, Robbie is leaning on crutches.)
David: EEE has made their way into the arena, and Robbie is supposed to be going for the Toughman Title, but look at that. He appears to be injured.
Dick: I'm told that the injury to his ankle occurred last week in the match against Sydal and Delirious when he landed wrong after a hip toss.
(Robbie gets a mic.)
Robbie: Normally, when EEE is out here, the party is just beginning. But as you can see, the party ended early for me tonight. I have a severely sprained ankle, and I'll be out of action for a while. But tonight, I have a shot at the Toughman Title, and there's no way I'm leaving this ring without it. Before I take some time off, Eddie Crowe, get out here and I'll show you the true meaning of what a toughman is!
("Noots" hits and Eddie Crowe makes his way to the ring.)
David: Well, this will be an easy night for Eddie. You can't fight someone the caliber of Eddie Crowe with only one good wheel.
Dick: It's admirable that he wants that Toughman belt so bad to risk further injury, but this is just not smart.
Robbie: Eddie, I know we've had our differences in the past few weeks, but tonight it's about the Toughman Title. And I think that due to my situation, we need to modify these Toughman rules a bit. First, I don't want any kicks to the leg.
(Eddie scoffs at him.)
David: Oh, come on. You can't just modify the rules at your convenience.
Robbie: Second, since I only have one good leg, I think to make it fair one of your arms should be tied behind your back. Do you accept these rules?
(Eddie moves in to speak, but Ryan suddenly blindsides him with a forearm. Eddie goes down and EEE, including Robbie, start stomping away at him while Ryan tells the ref to ring the bell.)
David: It was a setup all along, and Robbie's ankle must not be that bad if he's able to stomp on the guy. I guess Ryan is taking this Toughman Title match.
(FINISH: Eddie whips Ryan into the corner, but he tips up and somersaults across the ring, springboarding to the second turnbuckle. He tries a moonsault, but Eddie moves out of the way. He kicks Ryan right in the face and then floors him with a lariat. He applies the Crowe's Nest, and Ryan taps out.)
Winner: Eddie Crowe
David: Eddie retains, and he will have that Toughman Title to put on the line against Alan Mayse at the MECCA Challenge IV.
Dick: So much for EEE's plan, but at least Robbie didn't further injure himself.
David: When we come back, we'll have Nykk and Ronin Fox taking on the Killer Kanines!
(Commercial Break)
(In the locker room, Jamie Chan is warming up while Prince Nana urges him on.)
Nana: Just a few more squats, Jamie Chan, and you will beat that foul mouthed, pub hopping limey, Tristan Lee tonight! And then, at the MECCA Challenge, you and the Necro Butcher are going to dominate in that Battlebrawl match. When one of us win, we are going to go after all the gold!
Chan: Us?
Nana: Yes, as you know, I am a trained competitor as well. I will be entering this match to make sure that one of us win. The Consulate will bring home the victory, and then we will go out into LA and party like it's 1979, huh?
Chan: When?
Nana: Never mind, never mind. You do not worry about a thing, my friend. Just beat Tristan tonight, and at the MECCA Challenge, win that Battlebrawl and earn yourself a nice bonus. Now let's go get some steak.
(They exit the locker room.)
(Elsewhere, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Alan Mayse.)
Bill: Alan Mayse, Eddie Crowe accepted your challenge for the MECCA Challenge IV in Los Angeles, and we saw earlier that Eddie retained his Toughman Title, which means it will be on the line in that match, which is of course what you wanted all along.
Alan: My entire career here in MECCA, I was held back from the big prize, the World Title. So I went out and won my own singles title, and I built that title up so that it meant something when Eddie won it. But since I did that amidst Eddie's historic title reign, I'm looked at as no more than a footnote by management and the fans. Well, I got rid of my fans long ago, and as for MECCA management, maybe when I beat their golden boy in the middle of the ring and dethrone the first ever triple crown winner, they'll finally take notice. I've challenged every World Champion in MECCA's history, Bill, but it's okay. Once I win the Toughman Title, I'm going to continue to do what I set out to do and that's make it on par with the World Title. Maybe then the champion will be coming after me. Because I'll have finally beaten that monkey on my back, and I will be the one to take MECCA to all new heights, and Eddie, you will be a footnote in the chapter in the history books dedicated to me.
(In the arena, "Kobrakai" hits and the Killer Kanines make their way to the ring.)
David: It's time for a very interesting tag team match, as Anubis and the Wild Wolf team one more time for some payback. Of course, two weeks ago Nykk and Ronin Fox ambushed Anubis, and then last week during Nykk's title defense against the Wild Wolf, he slid into Anubis on the outside, causing him to attack Nykk and accidentally get his partner disqualified.
Dick: I'm not sure that's exactly water under the bridge, but these two make a great team, and they can't let Fox and Nykk divide them if they... expect...
(The Pyro Twins suddenly run out and attack the Kanines in the aisle. They brawl around ringside until Dusty rams Anubis into the post, and Jay gives Wolf a belly-to-belly suplex on the floor. They roll them into the ring as Nykk and Fox make their way out, and commence a four-on-two beatdown.)
David: The House of Lords has ambushed the Killer Kanines, and as far as Nykk's concerned, the more hurt Anubis is going into their title match in ten days, the better!
(As they continue the beatdown, Austin Lee and Cynric run out to even the odds. Jay gets thrown over the top rope by Lee, and Cynric sends Fox down with a jumping spin kick. He takes Nykk down with a spinning wheel kick, and Austin gives Dusty a flying kick to the face. The House of Lords regroups on the outside as Cynric gets a mic.)
Cynric: Fox, I may be retiring in ten days, but until then, you do not run rampant in MECCA and expect to go unchecked! Now it's obvious the Kanines aren't going to get a fair fight, so what do you say we just make this an eight-man tag?
(Wolf requests the mic.)
Wolf: Hey, in ten days at the MECCA Challenge I will be entering the Battlebrawl match to prove my toughness, so in honor of that, instead of regular rules, let's make this elimination!
(The House of Lords confer on the outside and then agree, telling the ref to ring the bell.)
David: It looks like we've got an eight-man elimination tag on our hands as the House of Lords will take on Austin Lee, Cynric, Anubis and the Wild Wolf. We'll be right back with that match!
(Commercial Break)
(FINISH: The first elimination occurs when Fox makes a blind tag as Cynric bounces Nykk off the ropes and sweeps the legs. He sets up for the Lift Off, but Nykk counters and pushes Cynric into their corner, where Fox hits him with the Fox Fire and covers for the three count. Anubis eventually rebounds for his team and makes Jay tap out to the Pyramid Lock. However, he gets knocked out of the ring after a leg lariat from Nykk, and Jay holds his leg from underneath the ring so that he is unable to make it back in and gets counted out. Nykk and Fox later manage to hit the End on Lee, and Fox covers him for the pin. Wolf fights back against Nykk, Fox and Dusty, and manages to duck a double clothesline from Nykk and Fox and hit a springboard bodypress. Dusty pulls him off and goes for the Rope Burn, but Wolf counters right into a small package driver, getting the three count. Nykk and Fox move in, and the odds are just too much as Wolf is finally made to tap out to the Cedarleaf.)
Winners: The House of Lords
David: Nykk and Fox are your survivors, and they pretty much had this one from the start over their mixed bag opponents.
Dick: Plus Anubis and Wolf were already beaten down from before the match. Interestingly enough, Cynric has still not managed to beat Fox and fell to him specifically during the match.
David: We'll be back with Tristan Lee against Jamie Chan, but right now Katie Piehl is standing by, and is about to reveal another team for the Four Corners tag at the MECCA Challenge!
(In the office, Katie Piehl is with the ladies' division, sans Sara Del Rey, Zoe Alexander, Lisa Letty and Naomi Leach.)
Katie: Okay, ladies, the third team is about to be picked. Keep in mind there are only eight spots and though you'll have to work with your partner, should you win you will be against them at New Dawn.
(She draws a name.)
Katie: The first member of the team is... Allison Danger!
(There's some mumbling amongst the ladies, but Allison just keeps her arms crossed with an icy stare. Katie draws another name.)
Katie: Her partner will be... Heather Star!
(Star yells in chagrin, and Allison just stares at her. Heather stares right back, and the other ladies move between them to keep them separated.)
Katie: Not in here, you two. You had better learn to coexist if you want that Ladies' Title. Get them out of here.
(Coquette, Magenta and Mercedes Martinez escort the two from the room, leaving only Shadow.)
Shadow: Are you sure my name's in there? I should have been picked by now!
Katie: It's all luck of the draw. I take it you've had a change of heart about your friend Nykk's little agreement with me?
Shadow: That's between me and the House of Lords. I am the rightful Ladies' Champion, Katie. If I have to play this little game, so be it. But at New Dawn, when I hold that title overhead once again, you'll know then that you couldn't stop me. And it will never be over, not even if I lose at the MECCA Challenge and lose my contract. I will always get the last laugh.
(Shadow exits.)
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, the Killer Kanines are nursing their wounds when Bill Bicknell comes up.)
Bill: Anubis, I saw what just happened out there. Could I just get a quick word?
Anubis: All I have to say to you, Nykk, is you got me again. Probably most times we're out there together, you will get me, I'll admit it. But at the MECCA Challenge, with the biggest prize in MECCA at stake, that's where I get you. When it counts. And when I take that belt away from you, what will you have left? Your power's gone, most of your friends are gone, and the ones who you do have left would probably just as soon stab you in the back. Do you think any of them are going to wait for you to come after me again for the title? No. Your sun is setting, and mine is just starting to rise. At the MECCA Challenge IV, Anubis is your new World Champion.
(In the arena, "On the Speedway" hits and Jamie Chan makes his way to the ring, along with Prince Nana.)
David: We saw earlier when Nana was warming Chan up for this match that both men, along with the Necro Butcher, will be in the Battlebrawl in just ten days.
Dick: Talk about a tough way to be on the card of the MECCA Challenge, as it will be anything goes and eliminations only occur by pinfall or submission.
("Ballroom Blitz" hits and Tristan Lee makes his way to the ring.)
David: Tristan Lee is mired in this war against the Consulate ever since he turned down Prince Nana's invitation to join. Chan was to be his partner against the Surgeons, but betrayed him and took the open spot in the Consulate.
Dick: Both these men have won one match, and now it's time for the rubber match.
(FINISH: Lee hits a flying bodypress on Chan and gets a two count, and then floors him with a spinning clothesline. He signals for the cross legged brainbuster, but Chan escapes and pushes Lee into the corner. He puts his hands out to stop himself and kicks back at Chan's midsection. He jumps to the top rope, but Chan crotches him on the top turnbuckle. He goes up and gives Lee a dominator down to the mat, while staying on the ropes. He hits the Falling Dragon and covers to get the three count.)
Winner: Jamie Chan
David: Jamie Chan wins it, but the Surgeons still have to deal with the Lee Brothers at the MECCA Challenge.
Dick: This definitely raises Chan's stock, and he has momentum going into the Battlebrawl in Los Angeles.
(Chan exits the ring, but Nana looks like he has bad intentions on his mind. He kicks at Tristan, who is struggling to get up off the mat. As he berates him, Nikki Chandler suddenly jumps the guardrail and gets in the ring. She gives Nana a low blow, and he falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Chan sees what's happening and runs back down. He gets on the apron, but Lee knocks him off with a forearm. Chandler holds him back, as Nana requests that Chan help him to the back.)
David: I don't believe it, it's Nikki Chandler! We haven't seen her since last summer when Nykk took her out with a piledriver through a table.
Dick: She looks healthy enough, and may have recovered from that broken neck.
(Lee seems to register that Nikki is in the ring for the first time, and embraces her as "Ballroom Blitz" plays.)
David: An emotional reunion for two former members of the UK Wrecking Crew, and Chandler wasn't about to stand by while Prince Nana assaulted her friend. We'll be right back with our main event.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "The Final Countdown" hits and Bryan Danielson and Kevin Stone make their way to the ring.)
David: It's the big night for Danielson and Stone, who have been seeking this tag title shot for weeks now. Last week, it was the Briscoes who offered them this match. Dick: That can't make the Pyro Twins happy, since they're the ones who beat Stone and Danielson in the Gauntlet series at Melee to earn a title shot.
("Gimme Back My Bullets" hits and the Briscoes make their way to the ring.)
David: Both these teams don't want the House of Lords to regain those belts, but whoever wins tonight will have to face them at the MECCA Challenge IV.
Dick: That's tough order for the Pyro Twins, no matter who comes out on top.
(FINISH: Danielson soars off the top with a somersault plancha onto Mark in the crowd as Jay and Stone slug it out in the middle of the ring. Stone whips Jay into the ropes and goes for the Stone Cutter, but Jay lands on his feet and pushes Stone into the ropes, following him in with a big boot. Danielson tries to get to his partner, but Mark drags him back and gives him an STO into the guardrail. Jay whips Stone into the ropes and puts his head down. Stone goes for the Monster Bomb, but Jay lands on his feet and kicks him. He and Mark hit the Spike Jay Driller, and Jay covers for the three count.)
Winners: The Briscoes
David: The Briscoes retain, and now go on to face the Pyro Twins at the MECCA Challenge IV!
Dick: The Briscoes first targeted the Pyro Twins when coming to MECCA because they had the belts, but now it's Jay and Mark who are the champs. For the first time, they face each other two on two with gold on the line.
David: We have one more Go Time to go before the big night, fans. Come back next week!
