Aries and Mars are the Dieties, Copperhead and Judas Priest are the SoTE. The God of War starts off with JP. Mars gets the advantage with a quick stungun and an elbowdrop but is caught with the HEAVY METAL CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! Powerbomb, Airies breaks up the count a 2. Oh, great, Darius "Look How Slow My Arm Moves" Smooth is the referee again. Mars leg-sweeps Priest and tags Aries in. Double boot followed by a double clothesline. Some rolling suplexes from Aries. Piledriver and slam. He calls for The Hammer. (His finisher, he's not asking for Greg Valentine...) Copperhead hits him from behind. Smooth ushers him out, allowing a double-team by The Deities. Double-spinebuster on your Face-In-Peril. Aries hits a release Northern Lights and an Evenflow. Judas fights back with a back suplex. He won't tag Copperhead, hitting a swinging neckbreaker and middle-rope kneedrop instead. It gets 2. Mars comes in, distracting the ref. Apollo siezes the moment and nails Copperhead with a chair. He continues to pound on him as the Deities hit a double-team chokeslam on Priest. Mars Thesz presses Prist and bulldogs him for 2. Tag to ries, tilt-a-whirl slam and a "Warhammer" pump-handle slam. Superplaes is countered into a face-first suplex off the top. Preist covers for Twwwwooooooooo. (Damn you Smooth, lay off the Valium!) Mars saves and tombstones Priest. The Deities hit the Complete Destruction for the eventual three-count.

* Nothing match. And I have nothing to say about it.

-Post-match, the Deities beat on The Scum. Aries gets my eternal gratitude by hitting Darius Smooth with the Hammer. Okay, it's now a *3/4 star match. Cops storm the ring, Apollo commits assault on an police officer with a chair. (3 counts) The Deities hit Priest with 3 spiked tombstones onto the chair. Judas blades. A Big-ass Mystery Man makes the save, Copperhead hits a double-chokeslam on both Deities.

-Nick "God" Demola (w/woman with large breasts) vs OCD (W/Mike Slater The Chair) (Last Man Standing #1 Contenders Match)

Nick gets his usual 4-minute long Metallica entrance. OCD's entrance is almost as long. Thank God referee Smooth has been taken out, as a D.S 10-count would take weeks! They brawl on the outside, OCD gets the best of it. He hits a risky-as-hell Gatso Bomb (Think a free-hanging piledriver) onto the ringside steps. Demola is up at 7. He's bladed early. More brawling, this time inside the ring. Demola levels OC and drops a knee on the back of his neck. He heads out for a chairs as OCD gets up at 5. Three chairshots get 5. Demola taunts OCD and gets potatoed. More brawling. OCD goes for Mike Slater, Demola bails into the crowd. I question Demolas' deification at this point. OCD catches Demola and unleashes chairshots for Africa on his body. Demola is up at 4, but OCD has found a rivet gun(?) under the ring. This is getting a little ECW-ish. Footrace up into the crowd, then up into the upper tier of seats. Okay, make that a LOT ECW-ish. Demola knocks OCD down a flight of stairs. OCD is moving at 4, Demola kicks him in the neck to send him down again. At 3, OCD lowblows Demola and hits the Descent Into Madness on the arena floor. Demola blades again and is up at 7. OCD finds a video game console (In a sporting arena... likely, no?) and batters Demola with it. He misses with Slater The Spiky Chair, however, and Demiola swipes it. OCD blades off a chairshot. He's up at 5. OCD bounces the chair off the back of Demolas skull. They head to the balcony. Paging Nu Jack! Mr Nu Jack... it's your career on line 6! Demola takes a Descent off the balcony onto the floor. Both men are down, so the ref strings out his count... OCD rises at 9, Demola doesn't. OCD wins.

*1/4 All too familiar... all we needed was the rap soundtrack and a Spike Dudley run-in.

-Main Event (World Title Match)
-"The Corrupter" Douglas McCray vs Eddie "The Drifter" Drysdale

Eddie mocks Douglas' entrance by introducing him as "Dig Dug". He's accompanied by dancing toadstools. Oooo-kay.... Eddie rolls out on a port-o-stage with Neil McDougalls band and sings... only briefly, thankfully. Darius Smooth is back out... I'll add half a star if one of these guys takes him out. McCray sucker-punches Drysdale before the bell. Drysdale respond by ducking a punch and slapping McCray in the head. McCray is fuming. They lock up, leapfrog sequence, Eddie stops to make faces at McCray. They lock-up again, Eddie tries for a rana, McCray catches him and just dumps him on his head. McCray stomps South of the Border. Blantant choke. Clothesline in the corner hits, but Drysdale turns a blind charge into a press slam onto the buckle. Spinning heel kick in the back adds some impetus. Powerslam gets 2 for Drysdale. A series of elbowdrops from eddie. Neckbreaker. Clothesline turns mcCray inside out. Drysdale plays horsey with McCray (Don't ask, I just recap these things) before a cradle gets 2. Drysdale drops the head, headscissors takes him down. McCray hiposses Eddie out. Eddie lands by the Iraqi announcers second table of the night and fends off McCray with a seltzer bottle. (Were they making cocktails there?) McCray hits a baseball slide and the Iraqis have their table shattered again. McCray smashes a water jug on Eddie, who blades. Back inside, bely-to-back and Grman suplex gets 2. Piledriver and DDT from McCray. Smooths 2-counts' are getting long again... Mccray works the neck. Smooth moves in to prevent a choke, resulting in a disagreement with McCray. Eddie recovers, and reverses a whip, monkey-flipping McCray out to the ramp. Eddie hits the 300-pound twisting plancha and both men are down on the floor. They beat the count back in, but with Smooth counting, it wasn't in much doubt. Drysdale slams mcCray for 2. Belly-to-Belly for 2. McCray bails. Eddietries some sort of somersault dive, resulting in the loss of the Portuguese announcers table. McCray piledrives Drysdale onto the remains of the table. Back inside, Mccray misses the Macho Elbow. McCrays valet Leah Maynard heads out to ringside. McCray hits a DVD for 2. Powerbomb is reversed and Eddie runs McCray into the turnbuckles, gut-first. Sunset flip for 2. McCray hits a belly-to-back. Maynard distracts Smooth as McCray goes for the chair. He leaves it in the corner. Eddie reverses a whip and clotheslines McCray in the corner. Hanging chinlock to bulldog off the top by Drysdale. He hits his "Journeys End" for The Count That Never Ends... Leah distracts Smooth at 2.95! She uses the old feminine wiles on Smooth, drawing Eddie over. McCray takes the advantange and bops Eddie with the chair. Devils Deal on the chair, Smooth turns around and we get a three-count about 30 seconds later. McCray retains.

*3/4 Pretty standard stuff for a main event.

-Post-match, Nice Guy Eddie tells McCray he's leaving the federation to go into IT. He offers a handshake to McCray. McCray accepts, and is given a Devils Deal instead. Big pop for that one.

-Finally, we get a lengthy (Darius Smooth counting to 100 lengthy) video package of Eddie Drysdales career.

The Bootom Line:

Some good matches here and there, and one classic, but overblown and disjointed as hell. Peaked with the submissions match and then just trailed off into nothing.

Mildly recommended.
