The World Wrestling Federation Presents
RETRIBUTION
2010
Live from the All State arena in Chicago
-We open with a video package hyping the main event and the dark madness that has engulfed Mick Foleys and the others beside him in the Order of Darkness.
-As the music blares and the fireworks hit the stage we are live in the windy city. The camera pans around the excited capacity crowd as Jim Ross’s voice speaks.
“Hello everyone from the windy city. We are live in Chicago for what is set to be a great card here tonight for retribution.” “Yes indeed JR. last year’s event certainly gave this one a lot to live up to but I think it may happen at this very aptly named Pay Per View event.” “Yeah I think our World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson didn’t enjoy having two dirty sausage fingers of that psycho Mankind shoved down his throat and I think he will be out for massive retribution tonight!” rants Lawler. “Well be that as it may King I think the man behind the madness Mick Foley has far more to extract, if you remember he was given this title match so he didn’t tear apart the champion right then and there two weeks ago on Raw.”
“Yeah well I did mention he was a Psycho. Heck he was bad before but now he and all the lunatics with him calling themselves the Order of Darkness are crazier than ever. They think just because they are dressed up in black…”
“Steady King” JR warns.
“No JR shut up! Have they seen the six of the combined forces of the Company and Team Angle? Those idiots are going to get what’s coming to them tonight I am gonna love every minute of it. Stupid morbid morons! All we have to do to be rid of them is call the funny farm, they’ll take them!”
-Suddenly King is cut off as Kendra’s music plays now the music of the Order itself. The crowd come alive as they realize that the entire Order of Darkness is making its way to the ring led by Mankind who cannot stop titling a shaking his head. “Oh oh I don’t like this” JR comments as Ariel throws the timekeeper aside and takes a microphone, handing it to Mankind. “What? The idiots probably came out to talk about the end of the world or some prophecy crap.” “King if I was you I would shut up” Monsoon replies.
“I know I’m out here early but thing is Kendra has a match now and we were all around the monitor ready to watch it when we couldn’t help but hear the commentary from you Jerry Lawler. How did you put it “morbid morons.” You see Jerry if it were up to me I would let it go as I have so many times in the past but the thing is that our lord and master also heard it and he demanded that we come out here show what our Order is about, and that’s fear! Fear through respect or by force! He doesn’t really mind and so I don’t really mind!” Lawler stands ready to run or even defend himself as Hayabusa and Kendra are now standing around the announce table. “Well anyway I have a far more important mission tonight so if the rest of you could take care of it that would be great. Have a nice day!”
With that he drops the microphone and leaves. Suddenly as he walks away Gabriel turns from him to the others and nod. With that Hayabusa and Kendra attacks beating the hell out of Lawler, booting him in the stomach and removing his headset pull him away from the announce position, rolling him into the ring to Gabriel. Jerry gets up on his knees now, holding himself in pain as he gets upright and puts his arm out…onto Gabriel’s thighs. The crowd reacts as Lawler looks slowly up into Gabriel’s now smiling face. With a sudden move Gabriel ducks down, hoisting the King up on his shoulders and walking forward as now Ariel and Daffney haves set up two chair, seats facing each other. Gabriel nods and walks forward lifting King up and spinning him around and down with Angel’s falling through the chairs. Lawler cries out in pain and then goes silent; the crowd reaction is mixed but loud and shocked. With that Gabriel nods to Hayabusa and the two leave the ring and the carnage in it.
For the next few moments EMT’s arrive and load Lawler on a stretcher, clearing the ring as Ross and Monsoon express concern and disbelief. “I mean look at this replay, that would do in any man never mind a semi retired wrestler. Man oh mighty the Order are insane! They are brainwashed by whoever this master of theirs is and I fear for the competing members opponents here tonight” Ross shakes his head.
“Yeah and that was for a comment. What do you think Mankind if going to do to Bryan Danielson later tonight? Man” Gorilla adds.
“I shudder to think Gorilla I really do, but that said we have a show to do. We can only wish Jerry the best and get on with the show and luckily one of the competitors for our first match is already out here with her female accomplices.”
Women’s Championship
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Finkle shakes it off and starts “this opening contest is for the World Wrestling Federation Women’s Championship. Already in the ring; accompanied by fellow Order of Darkness members Ariel and Daffney, weighting in at 220 pounds! Kendra!”
Kendra simply looks on with her cold red eyes and Ariel and Daffney applaud.
“Yeah don’t get her name wrong Howard or you might get put through this table” JR scoffs.
“JR…” Monsoon says in a hushed voice
“I know I know but really dam it!”
-Hamada’s music then hits and she is announced and we are ready to finally get underway.
-Hamada unclips the belt handing it to the ref as she looks over the ring at the giant she must once again overcome as she did at Wrestlemania. The referee holds up the belt, hands it to Finkle and then calls for the bell.
-Hamada is first to move shooting across the ring and running right for Kendra and jumping up for a dropkick, Kendra just stands there. Hamada hits the ropes and comes in jumping up for a cross body but bounces right back to mat as Kendra only stumbles. Hamada now jumps forward going for a jumping move again but this time Kendra reaches up and drives her down to the mat with a hard closeline as the crowd react, surprisingly a good portion of them are behind the monster of a women.
-Kendra moves in and brings her hand down and beginning to choke Hamada. The referee counts 1…2…3…4 and she lets go with distaste.
-She then lifts Hamada up by the head and drives her down with a scoop slam, hitting the ropes and following it up with a leg drop for a quick two count.
-Hamada glares at the referee and then lifts Hamada up off the mat, looking in a rear chin lock. Hamada kicks and struggles for a moment before being able to power to her feet and back Kendra into the ropes shooting her off and jumping up as her comes in nailing a spinning heel kick that finally gets Kendra down to one knee. She then hits the ropes again and comes in; dropping back for a mule dropkick right to the head that finally takes the big women down. The Hamada side of the crowd cheers for this.
-She follows that up by grabbing Kendra and backing her up in the corner, stomping at her with all she has got then backing off into the opposite corner coming in and nailing a sandwich dropkick in the corner.
-“Its looks like Hamada now knows from experience she has to keep throwing caution to the wind if she wants to take Kendra down and keep her there” interjects JR.
-Hamada now heads to the top rope and stands as Kendra raises flying off for a flying cross body but Kendra come sot life catching her out of the air and driving her down with a hard front slam to the mat. Cover for another 2.
-Kendra now stands, picking Hamada up and again driving her down with a scoop slam but this time dropping down and going for the sleeper hold but Hamada sees this and desperately fights out and onto her feet.
-Kendra answers this by charging forward and taking her head off with a closeline for yet another 2 count.
-Kendra stands, walking the ring like she owns it as Ariel and Daffney clap and cheer her on. She slowly looks back towards the rising Hamada and charges forward going for a spear but Hamada side steps it, sending Kendra towards the corner but Kendra stops herself on the tip turnbuckle and turns scooping the surprised Hamada up and dropping her down with a tombstone piledriver. Covering in a very familiar way for 1…2...3!
-“Wow!” Exclaims Monsoon as Kendra’s music plays and she is announced the winner. “Ladies and Gentleman your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation women’s champion Kendra!”
-Ariel and Daffney run into the ring with smile all around and in celebration, now handing Kendra her title belt.
-“Boy if Kendra wasn’t bad enough before she seems to have gotten stronger, perhaps just in her mind, perhaps it’s just conditioning but it was enough to make her completely dominate Hamada and takes her championship belt back here tonight” JR calls.
-Suddenly the celebration is cut off Trish Stratus’s music hits. The crowd roar as Trish runs down the aisle and hits the ring. Trish stands ready to go for Kendra and Kendra stands her ground ready to go toe to toe with Trish but Ariel and Daffney pull on her and plead with her, finally able to back her off and out the ring Ariel saying “this isn’t the time. They will give you chance.” The fans boo loudly as Kendra takes her belt and heads back to the locker room as Trish ducks down and helps Hamada who has just barely started to move.
Interlude #1
-We are now backstage with Gene Okerlund standing in the Company’s dressing room as the fans boo loudly.
“Ladies and Gentleman I am here in the locker room of the Company with its core members. Gentleman and Lady tonight we have arrived and I have to ask what is your reaction after seeing what the Order of Darkness have done already here tonight destroying Jerry Lawler and Hamada.”
“Our reaction? We don’t have one because you see there is no reason to fear them! Why should we Gene?” Cornette rants, standing in animated fashion “because they beat up an announcer and showed their already dominate women can beat another? Wow call the Undertaker’s…and not the one we got rid of…and arrange Bryan’s funeral!”
“Yes but surely after seeing the mindset Mankind is in, knowing what Mick Foley can do at his most dangerous…” Okerlund starts.
“What Foley can do? That fat piece of crap puts on his old crap colored rags and goes more insane and we are supposed to fear him? Did you see what the greatest wrestler in the world and your World Champion did to Shawn Michaels, did you see what we did to the Undertaker! We destroy so called legends like Foley and tell their has-been asses to hit the road and tonight is no different. And hell it’s not just legends, combined with Team Angle we destroyed the top threats on out hit list and will soon destroy all these so called ‘gangs’ including Jericho and Bret Hart’s little moose horn rabble! But most importantly this man, stand up Champ” Danielson groans but stands, picking the belt up from the back of the leather chair and stand behind Cornette “yeah! This man is going to give Mick Foley or Mankind or Fat Magee or whatever he is calling himself these days the wrestling lesson of his life, show him what real wrestling is and then leave as he arrived. Champion!”
“Danielson do you have some comments?” Gene places the microphone towards the champions face as a now read faced Cornette backs off and goes to relax on the sofa, grabbing a carrot from the tray and chomping on it hard.
“I have nothing really to add that my manager hasn’t said except that tonight Mankind you are going to be beaten so bad your ‘Master’, which knowing him is his sock puppet, is going to feel it. Then we will destroy your little band and the rest of them until only one entity if standing here in the World Wrestling Federation: The Company!”
“Thank You Mr. Danielson” Cornette says as Danielson backs off and MVP steps forward “ah MVP do you have any comments for tonight?”
“Well first of all cue ball let me say that this match is completely unfair and was only signed for political bullshit! You see I am the greatest pure sportsman and athlete in this whole company, I am a true sports celebrity and I could beat all three of these chumps one on one but tonight I don’t even have to be pinned to lose my title! Do you know how much chaos is in a fatal four way Gene?”
“Well I…”
“Yeah I know! Its nuts and Dutton wants to have me defend my title in that! Well I have news for you Dutton and I have news for all three of you lower class losses out there tonight! I am gonna beat you and when it’s all said and done I am going to still be the WWF Intercontinental Champion!”
“Indeed and finally Miz your match is up next and I’m sure you have a few words…”
“Gene what there to say? Tonight I face a loser who can’t come up with his own materiel and has to resort to imitating legends to ‘get over.’ Well I am the X Division Champion” he adjusts the belt “in fact I am the greatest X Division Champion of all time and tonight live in front of the world I am going to beat some sense into that geek and walk out still the best, still the champ. Because I’m the Miz! And I’m…AWESOME!”
With that he stares into the camera for a second and walks off screen, heading to the ring.
“Well the Miz is certainly fired up for our next match. Back to you at ringside Gentleman.”
X Division Championship
-Miz out first to boos with some light cheers. Lethal out to a nice response from the capacity crowd.
-Miz launches forward as soon as the bell rings jumping Lethal and walling on him with repeated shift shots to the back and head-.
-Finally Lethal is able to block it, lifting Miz up straight and the wailing on him with hard knife edge chops with gets loud “woos” from the crowd. That fights Miz back into the centre of the ring before Lethal jumps up and takes Miz down with a jumping closeline for a quick 1 count.
-Lethal grabs Miz bringing him up but Miz fires back himself and hits the ropes coming in on Lethal with a closeline but Lethal ducks it, waiting for Miz to turn and then kicking him in the gut and grabbing the arm, Irish whipping him into the corner but Miz puts on the breaks and reverses it sending Lethal into the corner but in Flair like Style Lethal goes over the turnbuckle, runs the length of the ring apron, climbs the opposite top rope and flies off with a cross body block but Miz catches him out of the air and covers him for 2.
-Miz picks Lethal up and takes him over with a snap mare, going for a chin lock but Lethal drops back on the mat and brings his legs up scissoring Miz’s head and sending him over. Miz however rolls right onto his feet and comes in jumping up for a dropkick but Lethal stands back and grabs the leg letting Miz fall out of the air into the mat before giving a “woo” and going for the figure 4 leg lock, Miz however sees this and is able to struggle out of it, rolling to the outside of the ring.

-Miz writhes in the hold in extreme pain, screaming out and trying his best to get out of it but Lethal nods his head synching it in tighter. After a few more second the crowd noise gets louder as he raises his arm but then jerks back and is able to grab the bottom rope as the crowd let out a groan.
-Solidly behind Lethal the audience screams for him to do it again and he does, pulling Miz out of the corner and going for it one more time but Miz comes to life, grabbing him and rolling him up for 1…2…3!
-The crowd boos loudly as Miz’s music hits and he stands, being handed his championship belt and holding it up.
-Lethal can only kick the mat in disgust of himself as Miz smiles broadly with the X division championship still his.
-Suddenly though that smile fades as thunder begins to crackle around the arena and the lights flickers. Miz swallows hard in fear and bolts from the ring and to the back.
Interlude #2
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Okerlund speaks as we are now in the interview area “The World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions the Heart Dynasty.”
The crowd cheers as the Dynasty step into shot, belts upon their shoulders.
“Gentleman tonight you are representing your family against the very men your family has made an alliance with in this gang war, this title match a condition of that. But never the less your opponents are the reuniting of one of the greatest tag teams in history: Edge and Christian. Undoubtedly the biggest challenge in your reigns.”
“Well yes Gene it is but you speak as though it means our reigns are over” Tyson speaks “let me remind you that we have been Tag Team Champions for four months now since Wrestlemania and we don’t take that lightly. Alliance or no alliance we are going to whatever it takes to win and carry that reign on.”
“Yeah and make no mistake” adds in Smith “Edge and Christian were a great team, one of the best, but they haven’t teamed properly as a team in nearly nine years. They have both moved on and gained singles glory as World Champions but now they are stepping back into our world of tag teams.”
“Hart Dynasty, thank you” Gene says as they walk off and turns back to the camera “and folks that huge title match is right now.”
Tag Team Championship
-The Dynasty out first a good reaction. Edge and Christian out separately to huge pops.
-Both teams step forward as the Hart Dynasty hand over the belts, the buzz audible in the arena. They then extend their hands give each other hand shake to a nice applause before separating into their respective corners.

-DH goes right to work with forearms to the back of Christian keeping him down in crawling position then picks him up and Irish whips him into the corner catching him on the rebound and Irish whipping him hard again into the other corner.
-“Wow I have to tell ya, the Dynasty looking very good here in the early moments and I have to say I’m surprised” JR comments. “Well perhaps we shouldn’t be Jim; I believe the Hart Dynasty is right. It has been a long time since these brothers tagged together and let me tell you it’s a very different ball game than singles action. Readjusting is hard never mind to a newer, younger style of the Hart Dynasty” Monsoon retorts.
-Meanwhile DH comes in going for the whip again but this time Christian goes underneath and reverses it, keeping hold of the arm and nailing the reverse DDT.
-He then picks Smith up off the mat by the head, moves over and tags in Edge. The two veterans then work together, grabbing an arm each and shooting Smith off the ropes across the ring on the rebound and catching him coming in with a double hip toss to a big cheer from the fans.

-Tyson comes in but Edge stands and nails a forearm, whipping Tyson in the corner now and running in but Tyson turns and uses the corner and jumps up and rest his legs on Edge’s shoulders, going for a hurricanrana however Edge is able to counter that, going in between the leg and with all his power proceeding to almost Alabama slam Tyson down hard into the mat.
-He however does now go for the cover but instead keeps hold of one of the legs and begins kicking the hell out of it, then stepping over and using his knee to drive the leg down into the mat and watching as Kidd writhes in pain, holding the leg.
-Edge shows no mercy coming in like shark smelling blood and locking in a leg lock, then using the leg to pull Tyson across the ring and tag in Christian.

-DH cries out as Edge then scissors the arm and drops back, wrenching at the arm then getting back onto his feet and keeping hold with one hand stomps the other side of Smith’s elbow hard into the mat.
-“And we are really seeing the advantage Edge and Christian have here Gorilla. You mentioned the advantages of youth but these veterans are using time and testes ring savvy to isolate and exploit limbs here and without and arm or a leg these boys will be in trouble and they know that” JR commentates.
-Edge lifts DH up on the mat going to take him over again with the arm but this time Smith brings up the other arm and breaks it, then moving in quick and grabbing Edge by the waist takes him over with an overhead belly to belly suplex.
-He then moves over while shaking him arm to get feeling back into it while using the other to tag in Tyson.

-DH shakes his head but stands, shaking his arm again to try and get rid of ache as he scoops Edge up again in the power slam position, dropping back into the corner and running forward but as he drops down with it Edge catches him and scoops him up for 1…2…NO! Tyson is just able to break it up.
-Now Christian hits the ring and engages Tyson, fighting him off as all hell breaks loose. Edge and Smith stand and they begin going at it.
-Tyson whips Christian across the ring and comes in; going for the closeline but Christian brings his leg up and again kicks at the injured leg taking Tyson down in pain.

-Meanwhile Christian has Tyson’s leg’s woven around the ring post, grabbing the injured one and ramming in hard into the post not once, not twice but three hard time and almost enjoying the results on his opponents grimacing face and howling cries of pain.
-“Man for two team who are on the same side this is getting pretty vicious” JR comments. “Indeed, I would have to suggest that the referee restore order here or call it before some serious damage is done.”
-Edge now has Smith against the guard wall kicking at him but DH stands and fires back with all he’s got but Edge manages to get a hard shot to the injured arm and then grab it and drive it down into the security barrier.
-Christian meanwhile seems to have gotten a bad idea, pulling Tyson across the floor and watching as Edge breaks the referee’s count before calling him over.
-“Why are these two doing this? This is getting down right malicious” Gorilla shakes his head. “Because they want to win and I guess as we have seen in the past right or wrong they will get that done by any means necessary.”
-Edge stomps at DH keeping him down then comes over the Christian, hears what he is saying and nods, kicking the top of the ring steps off as the crowd begin to buzz. “Oh God” JR begins to understand.
-Christian then grabs Tyson’s injured leg and places it on the bottom set of stairs as Edge grabs the top ones. “Oh no! Guys not this way! Referee stop this!” JR yells on commentary as Edge lifts the stairs up and then as Christian quickly moves his hand, drives it down over the leg of Tyson sandwiching bone between steel and more steel. The crowd reacts loudly, mostly in cheers but some letting out cries and cat calls as Tyson writhes, his screams having reached a new pitch.
-“My God, call it Ref! Why aren’t we hearing a ring bell! The man’s leg is probably broken!” JR yells as Edge and Christian move in now on DH and rolls him back into the ring.
-Being the legal man and DH being the only man left Edge grabs the injured arm and locks in an arm lock, the match continuing. “Well this is some questionable officiating hear folks, DH is now in an handicap match for all intensive purposes and no pun intended I assure you.”
-As the match continues EMT’s are now out and begin tending to Tyson who has almost passed out from the pain. Owen Hart then gets a nice cheer as he joins them in concern.
-Edge stands and takes DH down, moving over towards the topes as Owen point up at him. Edge only shrugs and tags Christian back in saying “finish it.”
-Christian nods grabs the rising Smith, hooking him, turning him over and driving him down with the Killswitch for 1…2…NO!!! DH gets shoulder up to a roar from the Hart supporters in the crowds, boos from some but shock from all. “Oh my…wow this kid DH Smith is fighting in with all he has, going it only for the glory and the honor of being the Tag Team Champions!”
-Christian is equally shocked, shaking his head in disbelief with then turns to nods of respect to his opponent. That does not stop him though as he moves over and tags in Edge.
-Edge couches down in wait, waiting patiently as Smith slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up. “Stay down kid, DH just stay down” JR pleads as he stands and turns.
-Edge then fires out of the corner for the spear but DH sides steps it, turning with injured arm and all and scooping Edge up for the power slam again but Edge is able to drop back behind, turn Smith around and nail him with a spear for 1…2…3!

-The two blond brothers celebrate, smiling broadly and holding the belts on high in glee.
-Davey Boy Smith now runs into the ring and goes in with concern to his unmoving son. Outside the ring Tyson is being loaded onto a stretcher and carried out. Owen stay and he and Davey look up disgust at the two celebrating new champions who stop for only a second to stares back before returning to their celebration.
-“Well the band is back together, they have one again become champions, that’s great. This crowd seem to love it but I have to ask at what cost and why?” Ross comments as we cut to the back.
Interlude #3
-Gene Okerlund is now walking inside a boiler room as he speaks the hum of the dark ominous place in the background.
“Alright ladies and gentleman, I don’t like it but I am here in the boiler room to see if I can’t get some words with Mankind, word has it under his leadership this is where the group of macabre individuals known as the Order of Darkness are located tonight. Not exactly my idea of a dressing room…ah” he looks over to which the camera man shows that down the way is a blue light shining on the concrete wall and quiet whispers of voices can be heard. As we get closer the voices get louder and one is very noticeably Mankind. Finally Gene turns the corner and all stop speaking and simply stare at him like an intruder, Daffney and Ariel even hissing at him like a cat…or a vampire.
“Umm…I just wanted a word with Mick before his title match…”
“There is no Mick! There is now only Mankind!” Yells a derange voice.
Slowly the dark group part to reveal Mankind sitting on the floor and rocking back and forth as finally he looks up towards Okerlund. Slowly and cautiously Okerlund approaches him, the group parting like the red sea and finally he reaches him and kneels down.
“Well then Mankind…I wondered if you had any comments for the viewers. Perhaps to shed light on you recent actions and who this apparent master who has made you all this way. Perhaps you would like to tell them your attentions to become the next WWF Champion? Certainly a big…”
“You just don’t get it do you. This Order is not like the others. We are not about greed, or championships or simple minded goals and feud. No those petty things are beneath us. We are simply an army of darkness that has been formed in reaction to those petty fragile groups. Our goal not as small as a championship Gene, which was Dutton’s doing, our goal is total dominance and assimilation of all before us. Everyone here in the World Wrestling Federation will be judged and those that have the potential will have the darkest parts of themselves dragged from the darkest depths of their mind and brought out to flourish” as he speaks Mankind is rocking and pulling hard on his hair “those that have no potential and those that refuse us will be destroyed! And this will continue until everything here in the WWF is covered in our darkness and then we will take the company itself and remold it in his image…”
“Mic…Mankind who is this “he” this master that has done this to you, the man who ordered that vile attack on Jerry Lawler earlier tonight?”
“Jerry Lawler was an insolent man with no qualities he likes and he was dealt with as any like that will be!” He shrieks, scaring the life out of Gene and making some of the others chuckle gleefully “as for him Gene. He took us…he took me. What was I before this Gene? Even last year Mankind was a shell of himself in the Ministry of Darkness joining forces with his enemy for petty goals. It just got worse from there as Mankind once again fully gave way to that loser Mick Foley! Then that fool was beaten and shamed by the Company and he knew that he needed that dark side of himself again. Trouble is Gene he couldn’t do it alone, he had grown soft and cuddly…he repulsed me! But Mick met with him and as with the others he took the best, darkest, most psychotic” he laughs to himself “part of his mind and from it emerged me, the original Mankind! The Mankind that took the Undertaker to hell and back in 1996! The Mankind that would destroy himself to destroy anyone opponent he faced and wished to tear them apart! No am out Gene and I am never going back! And you know what? Mick doesn’t want it to! Mick likes it…no he loves it! He needs me like a drug and with that and with goals he cherishes he has promised himself, we have promised ourselves to him mind body and soul…and tonight I have a mission and that mission is to destroy the one who shamed Mick Foley, the one who shames legends and gets away with it. Tonight’s event is aptly named Gene because tonight will be Danielson’s Retribution!” He sits back calming himself “now I like you Gene so please leave before I have to make an example of you to him.”
-We cut back to ringside where Monsoon and Ross react. “Whoa” Gorilla shakes his head. “Whoa is right, I thought Mankind was bad before when he first came to this company but man he is brainwashed into following whoever this master is, they all are and I know firsthand how psychotic Mankind really is. I would not want to be Bryan Danielson tonight that’s for sure” JR responds. “Indeed but that is later and this is now and let’s take you to Howard Finkle for our next match.
Liger VS Mask
-Liger makes his way out to loud cheers of support. Mask out next with Fuji to audible boos.
-The two lock eyes across the ring as Fuji taps Mask on the shoulder and gives him last words of advice before leaving.
-With that the bells rings and we are underway, both men launching forward for the collar elbow tie up and at once Mask drops back and monkey flips Liger towards the ropes, Liger is able to roll onto his feet and stand. Mask holds out his arms shouting something in Japanese as he grins broadly. Liger shakes it off and begins to circle the ring again and lock up.
-This time Liger pushes back with all his strength sending Mask down to the mat and then turning and holding his hands out to crowd who roar back as Mask can only look on from a kneeled position.
-Mask losses control standing and beginning to hammer away and Liger with forearms backing him into the ropes and shooting him across the ring, dropping so that Liger passes over and then catches him coming in with a hip toss but Liger keeps hold of the arm and turns it into an arm drag.
-Tiger rolls through back onto his feet and comes in again and looks Liger quickly in a standing side headlock. Liger is in the hold for a few moments before using his strength to lift Mask up and drop him down over his knee with an atomic drop.
-Mask stands holding his rear end and turns right into a takedown closeline which Liger follows up by dropping down and getting a hammer lock on the mat.
-Fuji shouts over as Mask clenches his teeth in the pain but is then able to roll forward onto his feet, keep hold of the arm, pick Liger up, boot him in the gut and then drops him down with a snap suplex into a cover for a quick 2 count.
-He goes in on Liger still on the ground but Liger comes to life lifting his legs up and hooking him in a head scissors, taking him down and then grabbing the legs for 1…2..NO!
-Liger stands but goes straight into a hard left kick to the chest from Mask, followed by a right. And then finally a rolling sole kick taking Liger down and then at once going in and catching Liger as he rises in a rear face lock.
-Liger however is able to power onto his feet then whale away at him with forearms to the gut, getting out of the hold and delivering onto to the head then hitting the ropes but as he comes in Mask leapfrogs over him then catches him coming back on the rebound again with a rear elbow then grabbing Jushin’s arm and whipping him into the corner.
-Mask runs in and drives a shoulder to the gut of Liger in RVD like style then stands and straightens Liger out before nailing him with the Tiger Wall kick. Liger drops down face first on the mat and is turned over and quickly covered for 1…2…NO!
-Mask curses and picks Liger up and backs him into the corner again going for the wall kick but this time Liger moves, grabbing Mask and placing him in the corner, nailing him with a few good shots before heading across the ring, running the length of it and hitting Mask with the front rolling wheel kick in the corner to a nice pop.
-Liger picks mask up, grabbing him for a belly to belly but Tiger gets out of it and goes behind hooking him and taking him down with a high angle German suplex and covering for another 2.
-Mask is getting frustrated now as he picks Liger up, hooking the arms and then dropping him down with the Tiger Suplex. 1…2…NO!
-Mask picks Liger up again and drops him then time with a double under hook backbreaker. 1…2…NO! Again Liger gets the shoulder up.
-Mask is really getting frustrated now, cutting the air and heading to the top rope, standing for the diving head but however Liger comes to life running for him and standing on the second rope, hooking Mask’s head and dropping back for the brain buster but at the last second Mask is able to turn it into a body press and drop Liger to the mat for 1…2…NO!
-Mask stands and grabs Liger again but Liger fights back hitting Mask with repeated fast shots to the head. “Man this rivalry is a personal as can be here!” JR comments over the now loud crowd.
-Liger follows the shots up by kicking Mask in the gut, hooking him and lifting him up running forward and nailing the Liger Bomb. Cover for 1…2…NO!!! Mask kicks out.
-Liger now gets on his knees seeming to curse and then slams the mat hard in frustration. “You can see it just by his mannerisms as if looking into his eyes; perhaps he is realizing he can’t beat Tiger Mask without his dark side, without Kishin” Monsoon comments on it. “Well I dunno Jushin has a few tricks up his sleeve yet Gorilla” JR replies.
-Liger now heads to the top rope waiting for Tiger to stand and then flying off with his signature diving Lou These press into a cover for 1…2…NO! Mask kicks out again! Again liger slams the mat in frustration.
-Again he heads to the top rope but this time Tiger stands running, the faster of the two and jumping up nailing Liger in the gut on the top rope with a dropkick that send Liger flying off and down to the floor.
-Mask stands catching his breath for a moment before looking down at Jushin on the floor as he stands, runs forward and goes between the second and top rope but as Liger flinches he kicks he feet and lower body all the way around for the Tiger Feint Kick. Mask smiles broadly for a moment but then using the top rope to vault over and down to Liger with a body press but Liger is able to side step it and send Mask cashing back first into the security wall. Liger falls to his knees to catch his own breath and the crowd cheers and react to the move, a replay shown of it.
-When we come back to live action Jushin has ascended onto the ring apron after having broken the crown, waits for Mask to stand and then runs forward and down onto Mask with a diving rolling senton from ring apron to the floor.
-After a few moments Liger stands out of breath and throws Mask into the ring and himself heading straight to the near top rope, standing and flying off and down onto Mask with the frog splash for 1…2…NO!!! Again Tiger Mask kicks out.
-“Wow whatever you think of Tiger Mask folks you have to hand it to him for this great effort. Maybe you’re right Gorilla but Liger can’t think that, if he does then it will indeed be true and will cost him everything, not least of which is his own self worth” Ross says.
-Liger now scoops Tiger Mask up off the mat and lifts him up for the brain buster but Tiger kicks back landing on his feet and turning it into a Millennium Suplex for 1…2….NO!!! Liger kicks out and the crowd explodes as one, now erupting in chants of “Liger! Liger! Liger!”
-Mask has now lost it beating the hell out of canvas then standing and hearing Fuji shouting over and nods in understanding.
-He moves over and begins taking off the turnbuckle pad as the crowd boos loudly. The referee at once moves in to push Mask away, admonish him and go to put it back. As he is doing so Mask runs over and grabs Fuji’s cane, the crowd beginning to understand boo’s even louder now as he holds it and smiles wickedly.
-He then turns and swings it for Liger’s head but Liger is able to duck underneath it, boot him in the gut forcing him to drop it, hoist him up and drop him down with the brain buster for 1…2…3!
-The crowd erupt as Liger’s music plays and he is announced the winner. After a few moments of recuperation he stands gets his hands raised, emphatically celebrating with his adoring fans.
-He then turns just in time as Fuji runs into the ring going to wallop him with his cane him but Liger kicks him in the gut and drops Fuji down with the Liger bomb.
-Standing as the fans cheer he goes back to celebrating, leaving the saga of Tiger Mask and Fuji behind him after a year of torment. “And he did it” announces JR “as Jushin Liger!”
-Suddenly though as Liger celebrates the lights begin to flicker and once again thunder rumbles. Liger looks on in confusion but leaves as it ends.
Interlude #4
-“Alright congratulations there to Jushin Liger and hopefully we can get that lighting problem sorted before our next match. And in that match will be this man: My guest at this time AJ Styles!” The crowd cheers loudly as AJ is now in frame.
“AJ in moments you will be competing in a match that apparently was made to satisfy all in this gang war. But for you, you go in alone to try and win the Intercontinental Championship back from MVP. And if you win…well that means you will have two huge title matches in one night at Summerslam. Are you ready for that and for tonight?”
“Gene I am the Phenomenal AJ Styles and I am ready for anything. You see I came here to wrestle and to win, not to start some petty little gang war. I stand here alone, the way I like it as AJ Styles and AJ Styles will walk in tonight take the IC title, keep it at Summerslam and then in his second match in the night win the World Wrestling Federation Championship! Woo can you feel that Gene? That is the winds of change because AJ Styles will single handedly take the two biggest singles prizes in wrestling from the company and he will do it with Style!”
With that he walks off as Gene looks on.
“Well Gentleman” he shakes his head “back to you.”
-We cut back to the announce table with JR and Monsoon.
“Well indeed we just saw Jushin heading in Summerslam with big momentum and indeed he will face the winner of our next contest for the coveted Intercontinental Championship” says Gorilla.
“Indeed Gorilla and as much as I believe in Styles, his plans for Summerslam aside, I think he has his hand full here not only with a man that has beat him twice on Pay Per View this year MVP but with two big time former World Champions who once again are after IC title gold in Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho. To say nothing about the fact that all three have an entourage and two of them are aligned.” JR replies.
“Well indeed it will be tremendous if hazardous, let’s go to Howard Finkle and get this bad boy started.”
IC Title Fatal Four Way
-All four men make their way out, MVP to huge boos and Y2J and AJ to huge cheers.
-The four look around the ring at each other as the referee takes the belt and holds it high.
-As Sherri steps down she walks over from MVP’s corner to Angle’s and says something to which he nods.
-With that the bell rings and after a moment everyone comes out of their corners trying to feel each other out when Angle and MVP nod to each other and then launch forward with fists and closelines working together to beat the other two down.
-Jericho fights Angle off and jumps up, nailing him back with a kick but there is MVP booting him down, then joined by Angle. Double suplex to Jericho gets loud boos.
-They then turn to AJ, “Not so cocky now huh?!” Shouts MVP as Angle holds the arms and MVP whales on him with right hands followed by a dropkick, German suplex combo from the two.
-Angle stands wooing and holding out his arms as his spins, MVP grinning and posing for the crowd himself. The boos reign down louder than ever.
-“We had to know this was going to happen Jim, this new merger between the Company and Team Angle is sending shockwaves of dominance through the World Wrestling Federation” Monsoon comments. “Yeah but I kinda hoped Angle’s pride for gold and glory would get in the way” JR responds.
-Angle then moves in turning Jericho over and going for the Angle lock but Jericho kicks over and turns it in an ensiguri, but Angle ducks and turn’s Jericho back over locking it in.
-Jericho screams in the hold as MVP moves in on the rising AJ but suddenly Styles is alive beating the head of MVP then nailing him with a side kick to the head, running the ring and taking Angle’s head off with a closeline. The crowd has also coming alive in loud support.
-AJ goes over to MVP continuing to beat on him but from behind comes Angle back up grabbing him and dropping him down with the Angle Slam.
-Angle stands in charged mode again as MVP recovers and goes for Jericho getting up but with a slight limp and drops down onto his knees as MVP runs in and nails him with the drive by kick.
-MVP stands now cockily and holds out his arms to the booing crowd, a couple throwing garbage now. But he just stands there in cocky glory when from behind comes Angle rolling him up for 1…2…NO! The crowd are now behind Angle somewhat.
-MVP stands in anger shouting his head off as Angle just stands there, the camera also shows Sherri going nuts and shouting abuse at ringside.
-After a moment of staring Angle moves in kicking MVP in the gut and turning nailing him with a Angle Slam and covering for 1…2…NO! AJ just runs in and breaks it up picking Angle up by the head.
-Angles fires back and the two begin trading furious blows, AJ jumps up going for the Pele kick but Angle ducks underneath and hook him from behind for the German suplex taking him over but AJ lands on his feet and Kurt turns to be nailed with the Pele kick for 1…2…NO! Jericho is back now.
-Jericho now begins trading blows with Styles, Styles hits the ropes and comes in but Jericho catches him and nails a capture power slam for 1…2…NO! AJ kicks out.
-AJ rolls to get away stands. Jericho runs in and is taken down with an arm drag. Both stand and comes in again and now Jericho get taken down with another arm drag.
-Both stands again and come for each other again when from behind comes Angle and nails a German suplex on AJ.
-Angle stands and goes for Jericho but Jericho captures him and nails the running bulldog, running for the ropes and hitting the Lionsault for 1…2…NO! AJ is back and breaks it up.
-AJ picks Jericho up Jericho swings for the closeline but AJ ducks and turns it into a neckbreaker then heading to the top rope, standing for a frog splash but no! From behind it Sherri who pushes AJ off the ring upon down hard onto the mat. “No DQ in a fatal four way match but the referee’s should come and get Sherri out of here for that one” Monsoon comments. And indeed she is shouted at but just shrugs back.
-Jericho comes in grabbing AJ and going for the belly to belly but from behind comes Kurt Angle and nails and German Suplex on Jericho as Jericho falls back and hits a belly to belly on AJ. The crowd react with awe and appreciation for that combo.
-Angle stands going in on Jericho hooking him for another German Suplex but moving towards the ropes, then drops back and sends Y2J flying over the top rope to the floor backwards with a German Suplex. The crowd erupts in “holy shit!” chants as Jericho lays still out of it.
-Angle turns but turns right in Styles who hooks him and drives him down with the Styles Clash for 1…2…NO!!! MVP is back with a steel chair and cracks AJ across the back, pulling him off of Angle and covering him himself for 1…2…3!
-The boos are deafening as MVP’s music hits and Finkle announces it “Ladies and Gentleman your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion! MVP!”
-MVP runs from the ring like a scene of a crime, backing up the ramp with the belt and Sherri at his side. Both smiling broadly. “Well through hell or high water MVP is still your Intercontinental Champion but will he be when he runs into the Japanese superhero Jushin Liger at Summerslam!” JR says as suddenly the same thunder from earlier begins to crackle making Sherri and MVP make haste to the back.
-We then get a commercial for Summerslam telling us it is less than a month away.
Interlude #5
-When we come back we are backstage where cameras are heading towards the Company’s locker room where loud shouting can be heard.
As the camera men push open the door we see Angle and his group at one end of the room shouting back and forth with MVP, Sherri and Cornette.
“You turned on me you son of a bitch! We had a deal! A plan! We are allies!” MVP yells.
“And we still are! But I was not going to pass up a chance for a WWF title!” Angle shouts back.
“Well why don’t you try and take it” MVP steps up to him.
“Hey hey hey!” Cornette gets between them “I see what you mean Kurt but we are a Company and we work together.”
“Well maybe you should say that to Joe when he goes off on rampages or Bryan when he cashes in money in the bank! I don’t need this political bullshit” he sneers and walks away “let’s go guys.”
“Hey! The main event is next!” Cornette yells.
“Well if you Champion is as good as he says he is he will get the job done, if the Order show up then you will have to take care of it. But you will do it without me or my team.”
With that Team Angle leave the Company staring on before finally Cornette comes to “right we have a match to get ready for. Come on champ it’s just Foley we can kick his ass and the rest of them. We don’t need Angle or his mugs. You! Get out of here!” He shouts at the camera man as then Samoa Joe pushes him back out the room and shuts the door.
Main Event
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Howard Finkle is in the centre of the ring “I have just been informed that the following contest for the World Wrestling Federation Championship will now be no disqualification and no count outs!” The crowd cheers loudly in response.
“What? Who made that ruling? Kinda on the fly don’t you think management? Cornette and Danielson have to be having fits about now” comments JR. “Yeah and we thought Bryan was in trouble before but oh boy oh boy…I think you need to put the kids to bed folks.”
“And now” Finkle interrupts “the participants.”
-Mankind waddles out first to a new darker version of his theme. The Champion comes out next looking very nervous.
-“Danielson looks very nervous I have to tell ya I don’t blame him after all we have seen and heard over the past few weeks, especially tonight. Not to mention this last minute stipulation” JR says as Danielson removes his belt and his robe, handing it to Cornette who folks it and steps out onto the ring apron. Mankind is simply staring a whole into Bryan; not even blinking it seems but only occasionally tilting his head. Bryan gulps and holds his belt up kissing it before handing it to the referee who hold sit up for all to see and then to the time keeper.
-The ref then steps out between them, looks at them both as they stare across the ring at each other and then calls for the bell and the match to get underway.
-As soon as the bell rings Mankind charges across the ring, Bryan brings his arms up like a boxer trying to block the shots but Mankind blast around them, again and again and again backing him into the corner and watching his hand fall before continuing the vicious right hands faster and faster, harder and harder into Bryan’s face and head yelling out his signature “whadash whadash” as Danielson begins to slump down to a sitting position from the blows that finally after several more stop and Bryan’s head falls forward, his mind someplace else.
-Mankind falls back looking around and going to the other corner then running forward and driving the knee hard into Bryan’s face and watching him crumble to the mat. “Oh God I don’t think we will need long here, this has gotten vicious early and Danielson looks out cold” comments JR.
-Mankind then waits for him to start moving before dropping down and laying in fists to him on the mat and then rolling him over for a quick 2 count cover. “I have to wonder did Bryan just kick out with instinct there because he sure doesn’t look at home right now” says JR.
-Foley does not let up grabbing Danielson from the mat, running forward and ramming him head first into the top ring post and watching him fly back into the centre of the ring.
-He picks Danielson up again and backs him into another side corner but now perhaps our of self preservation Bryan brings a foot up and catches Mankind in the gut, grabbing him and a ramming him head first into the turnbuckle.
-He takes a moment; stepping back and trying to shake the cobwebs lose then stepping forward and firing away at Mankind in the corner. The referee being able to do nothing about it but ask him to break it up.
-He then grabs him by the head with one hand out the corner bringing the other arm up and nailing him with a European uppercut that sends him back into the corner again.
-But Mankind reacts at once bouncing off the turnbuckle and firing out with a fist right to the head that takes Danielson down.
-Bryan trying to gain his bearings picks himself up in the corner again and turns right back into those hard right hands from Foley.
-He then backs off going for another knee but before he can move in Danielson wisely pulls himself under the bottom rope to the outside for a breather as the crowd on hand boo loudly.
-Mankind is right there after him though running under the bottom rope, coming in, grabbing the head and swinging into a neckbreaker down hard onto the floor and light mats below. Bryan brings his hand up and holding his head as he tries to roll away from his tormentor.
-Mankind gets back into the ring and waits as Danielson pulls himself up the ring apron, sticking his head through the ropes before running in and nailing a leg drop to the back of Bryan’s head with his neck on the bottom rope to a loud “oh!” from the fans.
-Bryan falls right out of the ring again and Mankind is right there after him again, grabbing him by the head and throwing him into the guard rail, keeping hold and taking him for a walk towards the steel ring steps and smashing his face hard on them as well. Cornette is in the background having a heart attack but not daring to get anywhere near Mankind.
-Mankind reaches down scooping Danielson off the top ring step where he left him and then moving over and throwing him headfirst into the time keepers table with the ring bell and house mic going off.
-Mankind walks away for a moment to catch his bearings then turns right into Bryan who has grabbed the ring bell and swings it hard into Mankind’s head, taking him down with a sick cracking sound. As Mankind falls back to the mats with a squeal Bryan drops to his knees to try and recover for a moment.
-Bryan then walks it off going towards Cornette and nods as he leans against him and listens to the words of encouragement, catching Mankind rising up on the security in his peripheral vision and turning a sneer on his face and running in for the high knee but as he does Mankind grabs him and drops back with a hot shoot sending Bryan chin first into the guard rail.
-Mankind stands, flicking his head as he letting out deranged squeals’ and turning back towards the slowly rising Danielson.
-Bryan crawls and pulls himself up on the announce table as now Mankind runs
RETRIBUTION
2010
Live from the All State arena in Chicago
-We open with a video package hyping the main event and the dark madness that has engulfed Mick Foleys and the others beside him in the Order of Darkness.
-As the music blares and the fireworks hit the stage we are live in the windy city. The camera pans around the excited capacity crowd as Jim Ross’s voice speaks.
“Hello everyone from the windy city. We are live in Chicago for what is set to be a great card here tonight for retribution.” “Yes indeed JR. last year’s event certainly gave this one a lot to live up to but I think it may happen at this very aptly named Pay Per View event.” “Yeah I think our World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson didn’t enjoy having two dirty sausage fingers of that psycho Mankind shoved down his throat and I think he will be out for massive retribution tonight!” rants Lawler. “Well be that as it may King I think the man behind the madness Mick Foley has far more to extract, if you remember he was given this title match so he didn’t tear apart the champion right then and there two weeks ago on Raw.”
“Yeah well I did mention he was a Psycho. Heck he was bad before but now he and all the lunatics with him calling themselves the Order of Darkness are crazier than ever. They think just because they are dressed up in black…”
“Steady King” JR warns.
“No JR shut up! Have they seen the six of the combined forces of the Company and Team Angle? Those idiots are going to get what’s coming to them tonight I am gonna love every minute of it. Stupid morbid morons! All we have to do to be rid of them is call the funny farm, they’ll take them!”
-Suddenly King is cut off as Kendra’s music plays now the music of the Order itself. The crowd come alive as they realize that the entire Order of Darkness is making its way to the ring led by Mankind who cannot stop titling a shaking his head. “Oh oh I don’t like this” JR comments as Ariel throws the timekeeper aside and takes a microphone, handing it to Mankind. “What? The idiots probably came out to talk about the end of the world or some prophecy crap.” “King if I was you I would shut up” Monsoon replies.
“I know I’m out here early but thing is Kendra has a match now and we were all around the monitor ready to watch it when we couldn’t help but hear the commentary from you Jerry Lawler. How did you put it “morbid morons.” You see Jerry if it were up to me I would let it go as I have so many times in the past but the thing is that our lord and master also heard it and he demanded that we come out here show what our Order is about, and that’s fear! Fear through respect or by force! He doesn’t really mind and so I don’t really mind!” Lawler stands ready to run or even defend himself as Hayabusa and Kendra are now standing around the announce table. “Well anyway I have a far more important mission tonight so if the rest of you could take care of it that would be great. Have a nice day!”
With that he drops the microphone and leaves. Suddenly as he walks away Gabriel turns from him to the others and nod. With that Hayabusa and Kendra attacks beating the hell out of Lawler, booting him in the stomach and removing his headset pull him away from the announce position, rolling him into the ring to Gabriel. Jerry gets up on his knees now, holding himself in pain as he gets upright and puts his arm out…onto Gabriel’s thighs. The crowd reacts as Lawler looks slowly up into Gabriel’s now smiling face. With a sudden move Gabriel ducks down, hoisting the King up on his shoulders and walking forward as now Ariel and Daffney haves set up two chair, seats facing each other. Gabriel nods and walks forward lifting King up and spinning him around and down with Angel’s falling through the chairs. Lawler cries out in pain and then goes silent; the crowd reaction is mixed but loud and shocked. With that Gabriel nods to Hayabusa and the two leave the ring and the carnage in it.
For the next few moments EMT’s arrive and load Lawler on a stretcher, clearing the ring as Ross and Monsoon express concern and disbelief. “I mean look at this replay, that would do in any man never mind a semi retired wrestler. Man oh mighty the Order are insane! They are brainwashed by whoever this master of theirs is and I fear for the competing members opponents here tonight” Ross shakes his head.
“Yeah and that was for a comment. What do you think Mankind if going to do to Bryan Danielson later tonight? Man” Gorilla adds.
“I shudder to think Gorilla I really do, but that said we have a show to do. We can only wish Jerry the best and get on with the show and luckily one of the competitors for our first match is already out here with her female accomplices.”
Women’s Championship
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Finkle shakes it off and starts “this opening contest is for the World Wrestling Federation Women’s Championship. Already in the ring; accompanied by fellow Order of Darkness members Ariel and Daffney, weighting in at 220 pounds! Kendra!”
Kendra simply looks on with her cold red eyes and Ariel and Daffney applaud.
“Yeah don’t get her name wrong Howard or you might get put through this table” JR scoffs.
“JR…” Monsoon says in a hushed voice
“I know I know but really dam it!”
-Hamada’s music then hits and she is announced and we are ready to finally get underway.
-Hamada unclips the belt handing it to the ref as she looks over the ring at the giant she must once again overcome as she did at Wrestlemania. The referee holds up the belt, hands it to Finkle and then calls for the bell.
-Hamada is first to move shooting across the ring and running right for Kendra and jumping up for a dropkick, Kendra just stands there. Hamada hits the ropes and comes in jumping up for a cross body but bounces right back to mat as Kendra only stumbles. Hamada now jumps forward going for a jumping move again but this time Kendra reaches up and drives her down to the mat with a hard closeline as the crowd react, surprisingly a good portion of them are behind the monster of a women.
-Kendra moves in and brings her hand down and beginning to choke Hamada. The referee counts 1…2…3…4 and she lets go with distaste.
-She then lifts Hamada up by the head and drives her down with a scoop slam, hitting the ropes and following it up with a leg drop for a quick two count.
-Hamada glares at the referee and then lifts Hamada up off the mat, looking in a rear chin lock. Hamada kicks and struggles for a moment before being able to power to her feet and back Kendra into the ropes shooting her off and jumping up as her comes in nailing a spinning heel kick that finally gets Kendra down to one knee. She then hits the ropes again and comes in; dropping back for a mule dropkick right to the head that finally takes the big women down. The Hamada side of the crowd cheers for this.
-She follows that up by grabbing Kendra and backing her up in the corner, stomping at her with all she has got then backing off into the opposite corner coming in and nailing a sandwich dropkick in the corner.
-“Its looks like Hamada now knows from experience she has to keep throwing caution to the wind if she wants to take Kendra down and keep her there” interjects JR.
-Hamada now heads to the top rope and stands as Kendra raises flying off for a flying cross body but Kendra come sot life catching her out of the air and driving her down with a hard front slam to the mat. Cover for another 2.
-Kendra now stands, picking Hamada up and again driving her down with a scoop slam but this time dropping down and going for the sleeper hold but Hamada sees this and desperately fights out and onto her feet.
-Kendra answers this by charging forward and taking her head off with a closeline for yet another 2 count.
-Kendra stands, walking the ring like she owns it as Ariel and Daffney clap and cheer her on. She slowly looks back towards the rising Hamada and charges forward going for a spear but Hamada side steps it, sending Kendra towards the corner but Kendra stops herself on the tip turnbuckle and turns scooping the surprised Hamada up and dropping her down with a tombstone piledriver. Covering in a very familiar way for 1…2...3!
-“Wow!” Exclaims Monsoon as Kendra’s music plays and she is announced the winner. “Ladies and Gentleman your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation women’s champion Kendra!”
-Ariel and Daffney run into the ring with smile all around and in celebration, now handing Kendra her title belt.
-“Boy if Kendra wasn’t bad enough before she seems to have gotten stronger, perhaps just in her mind, perhaps it’s just conditioning but it was enough to make her completely dominate Hamada and takes her championship belt back here tonight” JR calls.
-Suddenly the celebration is cut off Trish Stratus’s music hits. The crowd roar as Trish runs down the aisle and hits the ring. Trish stands ready to go for Kendra and Kendra stands her ground ready to go toe to toe with Trish but Ariel and Daffney pull on her and plead with her, finally able to back her off and out the ring Ariel saying “this isn’t the time. They will give you chance.” The fans boo loudly as Kendra takes her belt and heads back to the locker room as Trish ducks down and helps Hamada who has just barely started to move.
Interlude #1
-We are now backstage with Gene Okerlund standing in the Company’s dressing room as the fans boo loudly.
“Ladies and Gentleman I am here in the locker room of the Company with its core members. Gentleman and Lady tonight we have arrived and I have to ask what is your reaction after seeing what the Order of Darkness have done already here tonight destroying Jerry Lawler and Hamada.”
“Our reaction? We don’t have one because you see there is no reason to fear them! Why should we Gene?” Cornette rants, standing in animated fashion “because they beat up an announcer and showed their already dominate women can beat another? Wow call the Undertaker’s…and not the one we got rid of…and arrange Bryan’s funeral!”
“Yes but surely after seeing the mindset Mankind is in, knowing what Mick Foley can do at his most dangerous…” Okerlund starts.
“What Foley can do? That fat piece of crap puts on his old crap colored rags and goes more insane and we are supposed to fear him? Did you see what the greatest wrestler in the world and your World Champion did to Shawn Michaels, did you see what we did to the Undertaker! We destroy so called legends like Foley and tell their has-been asses to hit the road and tonight is no different. And hell it’s not just legends, combined with Team Angle we destroyed the top threats on out hit list and will soon destroy all these so called ‘gangs’ including Jericho and Bret Hart’s little moose horn rabble! But most importantly this man, stand up Champ” Danielson groans but stands, picking the belt up from the back of the leather chair and stand behind Cornette “yeah! This man is going to give Mick Foley or Mankind or Fat Magee or whatever he is calling himself these days the wrestling lesson of his life, show him what real wrestling is and then leave as he arrived. Champion!”
“Danielson do you have some comments?” Gene places the microphone towards the champions face as a now read faced Cornette backs off and goes to relax on the sofa, grabbing a carrot from the tray and chomping on it hard.
“I have nothing really to add that my manager hasn’t said except that tonight Mankind you are going to be beaten so bad your ‘Master’, which knowing him is his sock puppet, is going to feel it. Then we will destroy your little band and the rest of them until only one entity if standing here in the World Wrestling Federation: The Company!”
“Thank You Mr. Danielson” Cornette says as Danielson backs off and MVP steps forward “ah MVP do you have any comments for tonight?”
“Well first of all cue ball let me say that this match is completely unfair and was only signed for political bullshit! You see I am the greatest pure sportsman and athlete in this whole company, I am a true sports celebrity and I could beat all three of these chumps one on one but tonight I don’t even have to be pinned to lose my title! Do you know how much chaos is in a fatal four way Gene?”
“Well I…”
“Yeah I know! Its nuts and Dutton wants to have me defend my title in that! Well I have news for you Dutton and I have news for all three of you lower class losses out there tonight! I am gonna beat you and when it’s all said and done I am going to still be the WWF Intercontinental Champion!”
“Indeed and finally Miz your match is up next and I’m sure you have a few words…”
“Gene what there to say? Tonight I face a loser who can’t come up with his own materiel and has to resort to imitating legends to ‘get over.’ Well I am the X Division Champion” he adjusts the belt “in fact I am the greatest X Division Champion of all time and tonight live in front of the world I am going to beat some sense into that geek and walk out still the best, still the champ. Because I’m the Miz! And I’m…AWESOME!”
With that he stares into the camera for a second and walks off screen, heading to the ring.
“Well the Miz is certainly fired up for our next match. Back to you at ringside Gentleman.”

-Lethal grabs Miz bringing him up but Miz fires back himself and hits the ropes coming in on Lethal with a closeline but Lethal ducks it, waiting for Miz to turn and then kicking him in the gut and grabbing the arm, Irish whipping him into the corner but Miz puts on the breaks and reverses it sending Lethal into the corner but in Flair like Style Lethal goes over the turnbuckle, runs the length of the ring apron, climbs the opposite top rope and flies off with a cross body block but Miz catches him out of the air and covers him for 2.
-Miz picks Lethal up and takes him over with a snap mare, going for a chin lock but Lethal drops back on the mat and brings his legs up scissoring Miz’s head and sending him over.

After a few more second the crowd noise gets louder as he raises his arm but then jerks back and is able to grab the bottom rope as the crowd let out a groan.
-Solidly behind Lethal the audience screams for him to do it again and he does, pulling Miz out of the corner and going for it one more time but Miz comes to life, grabbing him and rolling him up for 1…2…3!
-The crowd boos loudly as Miz’s music hits and he stands, being handed his championship belt and holding it up.
-Lethal can only kick the mat in disgust of himself as Miz smiles broadly with the X division championship still his.

Interlude #2
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Okerlund speaks as we are now in the interview area “The World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions the Heart Dynasty.”
The crowd cheers as the Dynasty step into shot, belts upon their shoulders.
“Gentleman tonight you are representing your family against the very men your family has made an alliance with in this gang war, this title match a condition of that. But never the less your opponents are the reuniting of one of the greatest tag teams in history: Edge and Christian. Undoubtedly the biggest challenge in your reigns.”
“Well yes Gene it is but you speak as though it means our reigns are over” Tyson speaks “let me remind you that we have been Tag Team Champions for four months now since Wrestlemania and we don’t take that lightly. Alliance or no alliance we are going to whatever it takes to win and carry that reign on.”
“Yeah and make no mistake” adds in Smith “Edge and Christian were a great team, one of the best, but they haven’t teamed properly as a team in nearly nine years. They have both moved on and gained singles glory as World Champions but now they are stepping back into our world of tag teams.”
“Hart Dynasty, thank you” Gene says as they walk off and turns back to the camera “and folks that huge title match is right now.”
Tag Team Championship
-The Dynasty out first a good reaction. Edge and Christian out separately to huge pops.

-“Wow I have to tell ya, the Dynasty looking very good here in the early moments and I have to say I’m surprised” JR comments. “Well perhaps we shouldn’t be Jim; I believe the Hart Dynasty is right. It has been a long time since these brothers tagged together and let me tell you it’s a very different ball game than singles action. Readjusting is hard never mind to a newer, younger style of the Hart Dynasty” Monsoon retorts.
-Meanwhile DH comes in going for the whip again but this time Christian goes underneath and reverses it, keeping hold of the arm and nailing the reverse DDT.
-He then picks Smith up off the mat by the head, moves over and tags in Edge. The two veterans then work together, grabbing an arm each and shooting Smith off the ropes across the ring on the rebound and catching him coming in with a double hip toss to a big cheer from the fans.

-He however does now go for the cover but instead keeps hold of one of the legs and begins kicking the hell out of it, then stepping over and using his knee to drive the leg down into the mat and watching as Kidd writhes in pain, holding the leg.
-Edge shows no mercy coming in like shark smelling blood and locking in a leg lock, then using the leg to pull Tyson across the ring and tag in Christian.

-DH cries out as Edge then scissors the arm and drops back, wrenching at the arm then getting back onto his feet and keeping hold with one hand stomps the other side of Smith’s elbow hard into the mat.
-“And we are really seeing the advantage Edge and Christian have here Gorilla. You mentioned the advantages of youth but these veterans are using time and testes ring savvy to isolate and exploit limbs here and without and arm or a leg these boys will be in trouble and they know that” JR commentates.
-Edge lifts DH up on the mat going to take him over again with the arm but this time Smith brings up the other arm and breaks it, then moving in quick and grabbing Edge by the waist takes him over with an overhead belly to belly suplex.

-DH shakes his head but stands, shaking his arm again to try and get rid of ache as he scoops Edge up again in the power slam position, dropping back into the corner and running forward but as he drops down with it Edge catches him and scoops him up for 1…2…NO! Tyson is just able to break it up.
-Now Christian hits the ring and engages Tyson, fighting him off as all hell breaks loose. Edge and Smith stand and they begin going at it.
-Tyson whips Christian across the ring and comes in; going for the closeline but Christian brings his leg up and again kicks at the injured leg taking Tyson down in pain.

-Meanwhile Christian has Tyson’s leg’s woven around the ring post, grabbing the injured one and ramming in hard into the post not once, not twice but three hard time and almost enjoying the results on his opponents grimacing face and howling cries of pain.
-“Man for two team who are on the same side this is getting pretty vicious” JR comments. “Indeed, I would have to suggest that the referee restore order here or call it before some serious damage is done.”
-Edge now has Smith against the guard wall kicking at him but DH stands and fires back with all he’s got but Edge manages to get a hard shot to the injured arm and then grab it and drive it down into the security barrier.
-Christian meanwhile seems to have gotten a bad idea, pulling Tyson across the floor and watching as Edge breaks the referee’s count before calling him over.
-“Why are these two doing this? This is getting down right malicious” Gorilla shakes his head. “Because they want to win and I guess as we have seen in the past right or wrong they will get that done by any means necessary.”
-Edge stomps at DH keeping him down then comes over the Christian, hears what he is saying and nods, kicking the top of the ring steps off as the crowd begin to buzz. “Oh God” JR begins to understand.
-Christian then grabs Tyson’s injured leg and places it on the bottom set of stairs as Edge grabs the top ones. “Oh no! Guys not this way! Referee stop this!” JR yells on commentary as Edge lifts the stairs up and then as Christian quickly moves his hand, drives it down over the leg of Tyson sandwiching bone between steel and more steel. The crowd reacts loudly, mostly in cheers but some letting out cries and cat calls as Tyson writhes, his screams having reached a new pitch.
-“My God, call it Ref! Why aren’t we hearing a ring bell! The man’s leg is probably broken!” JR yells as Edge and Christian move in now on DH and rolls him back into the ring.
-Being the legal man and DH being the only man left Edge grabs the injured arm and locks in an arm lock, the match continuing. “Well this is some questionable officiating hear folks, DH is now in an handicap match for all intensive purposes and no pun intended I assure you.”
-As the match continues EMT’s are now out and begin tending to Tyson who has almost passed out from the pain. Owen Hart then gets a nice cheer as he joins them in concern.
-Edge stands and takes DH down, moving over towards the topes as Owen point up at him. Edge only shrugs and tags Christian back in saying “finish it.”
-Christian nods grabs the rising Smith, hooking him, turning him over and driving him down with the Killswitch for 1…2…NO!!! DH gets shoulder up to a roar from the Hart supporters in the crowds, boos from some but shock from all. “Oh my…wow this kid DH Smith is fighting in with all he has, going it only for the glory and the honor of being the Tag Team Champions!”
-Christian is equally shocked, shaking his head in disbelief with then turns to nods of respect to his opponent. That does not stop him though as he moves over and tags in Edge.
-Edge couches down in wait, waiting patiently as Smith slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up. “Stay down kid, DH just stay down” JR pleads as he stands and turns.
-Edge then fires out of the corner for the spear but DH sides steps it, turning with injured arm and all and scooping Edge up for the power slam again but Edge is able to drop back behind, turn Smith around and nail him with a spear for 1…2…3!

-“Well the band is back together, they have one again become champions, that’s great. This crowd seem to love it but I have to ask at what cost and why?” Ross comments as we cut to the back.
Interlude #3
-Gene Okerlund is now walking inside a boiler room as he speaks the hum of the dark ominous place in the background.
“Alright ladies and gentleman, I don’t like it but I am here in the boiler room to see if I can’t get some words with Mankind, word has it under his leadership this is where the group of macabre individuals known as the Order of Darkness are located tonight. Not exactly my idea of a dressing room…ah” he looks over to which the camera man shows that down the way is a blue light shining on the concrete wall and quiet whispers of voices can be heard. As we get closer the voices get louder and one is very noticeably Mankind. Finally Gene turns the corner and all stop speaking and simply stare at him like an intruder, Daffney and Ariel even hissing at him like a cat…or a vampire.
“Umm…I just wanted a word with Mick before his title match…”
“There is no Mick! There is now only Mankind!” Yells a derange voice.
Slowly the dark group part to reveal Mankind sitting on the floor and rocking back and forth as finally he looks up towards Okerlund. Slowly and cautiously Okerlund approaches him, the group parting like the red sea and finally he reaches him and kneels down.
“Well then Mankind…I wondered if you had any comments for the viewers. Perhaps to shed light on you recent actions and who this apparent master who has made you all this way. Perhaps you would like to tell them your attentions to become the next WWF Champion? Certainly a big…”
“You just don’t get it do you. This Order is not like the others. We are not about greed, or championships or simple minded goals and feud. No those petty things are beneath us. We are simply an army of darkness that has been formed in reaction to those petty fragile groups. Our goal not as small as a championship Gene, which was Dutton’s doing, our goal is total dominance and assimilation of all before us. Everyone here in the World Wrestling Federation will be judged and those that have the potential will have the darkest parts of themselves dragged from the darkest depths of their mind and brought out to flourish” as he speaks Mankind is rocking and pulling hard on his hair “those that have no potential and those that refuse us will be destroyed! And this will continue until everything here in the WWF is covered in our darkness and then we will take the company itself and remold it in his image…”
“Mic…Mankind who is this “he” this master that has done this to you, the man who ordered that vile attack on Jerry Lawler earlier tonight?”
“Jerry Lawler was an insolent man with no qualities he likes and he was dealt with as any like that will be!” He shrieks, scaring the life out of Gene and making some of the others chuckle gleefully “as for him Gene. He took us…he took me. What was I before this Gene? Even last year Mankind was a shell of himself in the Ministry of Darkness joining forces with his enemy for petty goals. It just got worse from there as Mankind once again fully gave way to that loser Mick Foley! Then that fool was beaten and shamed by the Company and he knew that he needed that dark side of himself again. Trouble is Gene he couldn’t do it alone, he had grown soft and cuddly…he repulsed me! But Mick met with him and as with the others he took the best, darkest, most psychotic” he laughs to himself “part of his mind and from it emerged me, the original Mankind! The Mankind that took the Undertaker to hell and back in 1996! The Mankind that would destroy himself to destroy anyone opponent he faced and wished to tear them apart! No am out Gene and I am never going back! And you know what? Mick doesn’t want it to! Mick likes it…no he loves it! He needs me like a drug and with that and with goals he cherishes he has promised himself, we have promised ourselves to him mind body and soul…and tonight I have a mission and that mission is to destroy the one who shamed Mick Foley, the one who shames legends and gets away with it. Tonight’s event is aptly named Gene because tonight will be Danielson’s Retribution!” He sits back calming himself “now I like you Gene so please leave before I have to make an example of you to him.”
-We cut back to ringside where Monsoon and Ross react. “Whoa” Gorilla shakes his head. “Whoa is right, I thought Mankind was bad before when he first came to this company but man he is brainwashed into following whoever this master is, they all are and I know firsthand how psychotic Mankind really is. I would not want to be Bryan Danielson tonight that’s for sure” JR responds. “Indeed but that is later and this is now and let’s take you to Howard Finkle for our next match.
Liger VS Mask
-Liger makes his way out to loud cheers of support. Mask out next with Fuji to audible boos.
-The two lock eyes across the ring as Fuji taps Mask on the shoulder and gives him last words of advice before leaving.
-With that the bells rings and we are underway, both men launching forward for the collar elbow tie up and at once Mask drops back and monkey flips Liger towards the ropes, Liger is able to roll onto his feet and stand.

-Liger follows the shots up by kicking Mask in the gut, hooking him and lifting him up running forward and nailing the Liger Bomb. Cover for 1…2…NO!!! Mask kicks out.
-Liger now gets on his knees seeming to curse and then slams the mat hard in frustration. “You can see it just by his mannerisms as if looking into his eyes; perhaps he is realizing he can’t beat Tiger Mask without his dark side, without Kishin” Monsoon comments on it. “Well I dunno Jushin has a few tricks up his sleeve yet Gorilla” JR replies.
-Liger now heads to the top rope waiting for Tiger to stand and then flying off with his signature diving Lou These press into a cover for 1…2…NO! Mask kicks out again! Again liger slams the mat in frustration.

-“Wow whatever you think of Tiger Mask folks you have to hand it to him for this great effort. Maybe you’re right Gorilla but Liger can’t think that, if he does then it will indeed be true and will cost him everything, not least of which is his own self worth” Ross says.
-Liger now scoops Tiger Mask up off the mat and lifts him up for the brain buster but Tiger kicks back landing on his feet and turning it into a Millennium Suplex for 1…2….NO!!! Liger kicks out and the crowd explodes as one, now erupting in chants of “Liger! Liger! Liger!”
-Mask has now lost it beating the hell out of canvas then standing and hearing Fuji shouting over and nods in understanding.
-He moves over and begins taking off the turnbuckle pad as the crowd boos loudly. The referee at once moves in to push Mask away, admonish him and go to put it back. As he is doing so Mask runs over and grabs Fuji’s cane, the crowd beginning to understand boo’s even louder now as he holds it and smiles wickedly.
-He then turns and swings it for Liger’s head but Liger is able to duck underneath it, boot him in the gut forcing him to drop it, hoist him up and drop him down with the brain buster for 1…2…3!
-The crowd erupt as Liger’s music plays and he is announced the winner. After a few moments of recuperation he stands gets his hands raised, emphatically celebrating with his adoring fans.
-He then turns just in time as Fuji runs into the ring going to wallop him with his cane him but Liger kicks him in the gut and drops Fuji down with the Liger bomb.
-Standing as the fans cheer he goes back to celebrating, leaving the saga of Tiger Mask and Fuji behind him after a year of torment. “And he did it” announces JR “as Jushin Liger!”
-Suddenly though as Liger celebrates the lights begin to flicker and once again thunder rumbles. Liger looks on in confusion but leaves as it ends.
Interlude #4
-“Alright congratulations there to Jushin Liger and hopefully we can get that lighting problem sorted before our next match. And in that match will be this man: My guest at this time AJ Styles!” The crowd cheers loudly as AJ is now in frame.
“AJ in moments you will be competing in a match that apparently was made to satisfy all in this gang war. But for you, you go in alone to try and win the Intercontinental Championship back from MVP. And if you win…well that means you will have two huge title matches in one night at Summerslam. Are you ready for that and for tonight?”
“Gene I am the Phenomenal AJ Styles and I am ready for anything. You see I came here to wrestle and to win, not to start some petty little gang war. I stand here alone, the way I like it as AJ Styles and AJ Styles will walk in tonight take the IC title, keep it at Summerslam and then in his second match in the night win the World Wrestling Federation Championship! Woo can you feel that Gene? That is the winds of change because AJ Styles will single handedly take the two biggest singles prizes in wrestling from the company and he will do it with Style!”
With that he walks off as Gene looks on.
“Well Gentleman” he shakes his head “back to you.”
-We cut back to the announce table with JR and Monsoon.
“Well indeed we just saw Jushin heading in Summerslam with big momentum and indeed he will face the winner of our next contest for the coveted Intercontinental Championship” says Gorilla.
“Indeed Gorilla and as much as I believe in Styles, his plans for Summerslam aside, I think he has his hand full here not only with a man that has beat him twice on Pay Per View this year MVP but with two big time former World Champions who once again are after IC title gold in Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho. To say nothing about the fact that all three have an entourage and two of them are aligned.” JR replies.
“Well indeed it will be tremendous if hazardous, let’s go to Howard Finkle and get this bad boy started.”
IC Title Fatal Four Way
-All four men make their way out, MVP to huge boos and Y2J and AJ to huge cheers.
-The four look around the ring at each other as the referee takes the belt and holds it high.
-As Sherri steps down she walks over from MVP’s corner to Angle’s and says something to which he nods.
-With that the bell rings and after a moment everyone comes out of their corners trying to feel each other out when Angle and MVP nod to each other and then launch forward with fists and closelines working together to beat the other two down.
-Jericho fights Angle off and jumps up, nailing him back with a kick but there is MVP booting him down, then joined by Angle. Double suplex to Jericho gets loud boos.

-Angle stands wooing and holding out his arms as his spins, MVP grinning and posing for the crowd himself. The boos reign down louder than ever.
-“We had to know this was going to happen Jim, this new merger between the Company and Team Angle is sending shockwaves of dominance through the World Wrestling Federation” Monsoon comments. “Yeah but I kinda hoped Angle’s pride for gold and glory would get in the way” JR responds.
-Angle then moves in turning Jericho over and going for the Angle lock but Jericho kicks over and turns it in an ensiguri, but Angle ducks and turn’s Jericho back over locking it in.
-Jericho screams in the hold as MVP moves in on the rising AJ but suddenly Styles is alive beating the head of MVP then nailing him with a side kick to the head, running the ring and taking Angle’s head off with a closeline. The crowd has also coming alive in loud support.

-MVP stands in anger shouting his head off as Angle just stands there, the camera also shows Sherri going nuts and shouting abuse at ringside.
-After a moment of staring Angle moves in kicking MVP in the gut and turning nailing him with a Angle Slam and covering for 1…2…NO! AJ just runs in and breaks it up picking Angle up by the head.
-Angles fires back and the two begin trading furious blows, AJ jumps up going for the Pele kick but Angle ducks underneath and hook him from behind for the German suplex taking him over but AJ lands on his feet and Kurt turns to be nailed with the Pele kick for 1…2…NO! Jericho is back now.
-Jericho now begins trading blows with Styles, Styles hits the ropes and comes in but Jericho catches him and nails a capture power slam for 1…2…NO! AJ kicks out.
-AJ rolls to get away stands. Jericho runs in and is taken down with an arm drag. Both stand and comes in again and now Jericho get taken down with another arm drag.

-AJ picks Jericho up Jericho swings for the closeline but AJ ducks and turns it into a neckbreaker then heading to the top rope, standing for a frog splash but no! From behind it Sherri who pushes AJ off the ring upon down hard onto the mat. “No DQ in a fatal four way match but the referee’s should come and get Sherri out of here for that one” Monsoon comments. And indeed she is shouted at but just shrugs back.
-Jericho comes in grabbing AJ and going for the belly to belly but from behind comes Kurt Angle and nails and German Suplex on Jericho as Jericho falls back and hits a belly to belly on AJ. The crowd react with awe and appreciation for that combo.

-Angle turns but turns right in Styles who hooks him and drives him down with the Styles Clash for 1…2…NO!!! MVP is back with a steel chair and cracks AJ across the back, pulling him off of Angle and covering him himself for 1…2…3!
-The boos are deafening as MVP’s music hits and Finkle announces it “Ladies and Gentleman your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion! MVP!”
-MVP runs from the ring like a scene of a crime, backing up the ramp with the belt and Sherri at his side. Both smiling broadly. “Well through hell or high water MVP is still your Intercontinental Champion but will he be when he runs into the Japanese superhero Jushin Liger at Summerslam!” JR says as suddenly the same thunder from earlier begins to crackle making Sherri and MVP make haste to the back.
-We then get a commercial for Summerslam telling us it is less than a month away.
Interlude #5
-When we come back we are backstage where cameras are heading towards the Company’s locker room where loud shouting can be heard.
As the camera men push open the door we see Angle and his group at one end of the room shouting back and forth with MVP, Sherri and Cornette.
“You turned on me you son of a bitch! We had a deal! A plan! We are allies!” MVP yells.
“And we still are! But I was not going to pass up a chance for a WWF title!” Angle shouts back.
“Well why don’t you try and take it” MVP steps up to him.
“Hey hey hey!” Cornette gets between them “I see what you mean Kurt but we are a Company and we work together.”
“Well maybe you should say that to Joe when he goes off on rampages or Bryan when he cashes in money in the bank! I don’t need this political bullshit” he sneers and walks away “let’s go guys.”
“Hey! The main event is next!” Cornette yells.
“Well if you Champion is as good as he says he is he will get the job done, if the Order show up then you will have to take care of it. But you will do it without me or my team.”
With that Team Angle leave the Company staring on before finally Cornette comes to “right we have a match to get ready for. Come on champ it’s just Foley we can kick his ass and the rest of them. We don’t need Angle or his mugs. You! Get out of here!” He shouts at the camera man as then Samoa Joe pushes him back out the room and shuts the door.
Main Event
-“Ladies and Gentleman” Howard Finkle is in the centre of the ring “I have just been informed that the following contest for the World Wrestling Federation Championship will now be no disqualification and no count outs!” The crowd cheers loudly in response.
“What? Who made that ruling? Kinda on the fly don’t you think management? Cornette and Danielson have to be having fits about now” comments JR. “Yeah and we thought Bryan was in trouble before but oh boy oh boy…I think you need to put the kids to bed folks.”
“And now” Finkle interrupts “the participants.”
-Mankind waddles out first to a new darker version of his theme. The Champion comes out next looking very nervous.
-“Danielson looks very nervous I have to tell ya I don’t blame him after all we have seen and heard over the past few weeks, especially tonight. Not to mention this last minute stipulation” JR says as Danielson removes his belt and his robe, handing it to Cornette who folks it and steps out onto the ring apron. Mankind is simply staring a whole into Bryan; not even blinking it seems but only occasionally tilting his head. Bryan gulps and holds his belt up kissing it before handing it to the referee who hold sit up for all to see and then to the time keeper.
-The ref then steps out between them, looks at them both as they stare across the ring at each other and then calls for the bell and the match to get underway.
-As soon as the bell rings Mankind charges across the ring, Bryan brings his arms up like a boxer trying to block the shots but Mankind blast around them, again and again and again backing him into the corner and watching his hand fall before continuing the vicious right hands faster and faster, harder and harder into Bryan’s face and head yelling out his signature “whadash whadash” as Danielson begins to slump down to a sitting position from the blows that finally after several more stop and Bryan’s head falls forward, his mind someplace else.
-Mankind falls back looking around and going to the other corner then running forward and driving the knee hard into Bryan’s face and watching him crumble to the mat. “Oh God I don’t think we will need long here, this has gotten vicious early and Danielson looks out cold” comments JR.
-Mankind then waits for him to start moving before dropping down and laying in fists to him on the mat and then rolling him over for a quick 2 count cover. “I have to wonder did Bryan just kick out with instinct there because he sure doesn’t look at home right now” says JR.
-Foley does not let up grabbing Danielson from the mat, running forward and ramming him head first into the top ring post and watching him fly back into the centre of the ring.
-He picks Danielson up again and backs him into another side corner but now perhaps our of self preservation Bryan brings a foot up and catches Mankind in the gut, grabbing him and a ramming him head first into the turnbuckle.
-He takes a moment; stepping back and trying to shake the cobwebs lose then stepping forward and firing away at Mankind in the corner. The referee being able to do nothing about it but ask him to break it up.
-He then grabs him by the head with one hand out the corner bringing the other arm up and nailing him with a European uppercut that sends him back into the corner again.
-But Mankind reacts at once bouncing off the turnbuckle and firing out with a fist right to the head that takes Danielson down.
-Bryan trying to gain his bearings picks himself up in the corner again and turns right back into those hard right hands from Foley.
-He then backs off going for another knee but before he can move in Danielson wisely pulls himself under the bottom rope to the outside for a breather as the crowd on hand boo loudly.
-Mankind is right there after him though running under the bottom rope, coming in, grabbing the head and swinging into a neckbreaker down hard onto the floor and light mats below. Bryan brings his hand up and holding his head as he tries to roll away from his tormentor.
-Mankind gets back into the ring and waits as Danielson pulls himself up the ring apron, sticking his head through the ropes before running in and nailing a leg drop to the back of Bryan’s head with his neck on the bottom rope to a loud “oh!” from the fans.
-Bryan falls right out of the ring again and Mankind is right there after him again, grabbing him by the head and throwing him into the guard rail, keeping hold and taking him for a walk towards the steel ring steps and smashing his face hard on them as well. Cornette is in the background having a heart attack but not daring to get anywhere near Mankind.
-Mankind reaches down scooping Danielson off the top ring step where he left him and then moving over and throwing him headfirst into the time keepers table with the ring bell and house mic going off.
-Mankind walks away for a moment to catch his bearings then turns right into Bryan who has grabbed the ring bell and swings it hard into Mankind’s head, taking him down with a sick cracking sound. As Mankind falls back to the mats with a squeal Bryan drops to his knees to try and recover for a moment.
-Bryan then walks it off going towards Cornette and nods as he leans against him and listens to the words of encouragement, catching Mankind rising up on the security in his peripheral vision and turning a sneer on his face and running in for the high knee but as he does Mankind grabs him and drops back with a hot shoot sending Bryan chin first into the guard rail.
-Mankind stands, flicking his head as he letting out deranged squeals’ and turning back towards the slowly rising Danielson.
-Bryan crawls and pulls himself up on the announce table as now Mankind runs
