One of the most, if not the most anticipated match in NCW took place at SuperNet II. The main event of SuperNet II once again saw Matt Xtreme defending the NCW Heavyweight Championship, against a new and young opponent - Zach Stiller.
This match had been fantasized for months on end upon Stiller's arrival in NCW. Stiller finally gained his shot at the biggest title in the business when he won the 2004 SurvivorSlam match. This match was a go. However, just as last year's main event, this match found itself to be contested under a stipulation. This time 2/3 Falls - the first fall would be normally contested rules, the 2nd would be a Submission match, and if needed the 3rd fall would be fought under a Ladder Match.
It was a hard fought battle for both men. Stiller was able to score the first fall after planting Xtreme with his patented Zach Attack Frog Splash. The 2nd fall would then go to Xtreme after he made Stiller pass out from the pain of the Sharpshooter. The 3rd fall commenced and it looked like Stiller had won the match after he grabbed the title, but Xtreme; who was also on the ladder, pushed him off and grabbed the title for himself. The ref decided that the match would continue under normal rules. Later on, Stiller was able to execute the Zach Attack for the win and his first NCW Championship victory.
After the match, both Jason Knoxville and Johnny Styles, who had celebrated title victories themselves earlier n the night, came down and celebrated with Stiller as they raised their arms in unison - showcasing the future of NCW. |
