Week 1
[Play Out]
Punk came down to the ring, new World Champion as he would smirk from ear to ear with Stephanie McMahon at his side, holding the ropes open for her then slowly entering, hearing the rally of fans that were displeased with him.
"Surprise surprise, 24 hours ago I became the New World Heavyweight Champion and yet, you people, like sheep, actually believed that one Jeff Hardy was actually aligned with Stephanie McMahon? You're just as gullable as he is, I mean hell, how did you think I knew which hand he had the weapon in and the chair? Because I was orchastrating this from day one. Let me rewind time just a bit. It was last year at the Great American Bash where I was defeated in a cage match against John Cena, crushing my dreams, it wasn't until World War where I stood face to face with Jeff Hardy and by luck, he eliminated me and stole my spot at Starrcade. Slamboree hits and I make my claim to be the greatest wrestler in history...and one Evan Bourne comes out claiming he's more than a champion...when he has the same matches over and over again. Fast forward to Super Card, I defeated Four, count them, FOUR guys and who gets the match of the night and LOST his match? Evan...Bourne. So then fast forward to New Blood Rising, my chance at being a double champion, stolen....from Evan Bourne, so I risk it all and go for the World Title and won it and poor Evan and Jeff Hardy's dreams were shattered before a fellow competitor...and better competitor...the Straight Edge Champion that you all wanted for nearly a year...C M Punk."
The crowd would boo behind him only getting louder it seemed though he smirked, hearing 'you sold out' over and over again.
"Oh yes, I figure you hypocrits would start saying that, just because I have a manager doesn't mean I sold out. Hell, some of your greatest champions in history had managers. Like Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Triple H, Shawn Micheals, Hell...Even...The Undertaker had a manager and yet you jeer me, hypocrits."
The crowd would only get louder, not allowing him to finish talking as Punk would instruct Steph to get a chair, unfolding it and would sit there in the middle of the ring. Punk would just sit there, letting the fans yell and rally out, bringing the mic to his lips.
"I have all night people, you can sit here and scream all you want, when you're settled down..I'll continue."
They wouldn't even budge yelling out louder and louder if that were even possible, all sorts of chants such as 'you screwed us' and 'you sold out' were heard as Punk spoke again.
"You know you people paid money to see wrestling and tonight I have reserved time to talk..so either, you pipe down and let me finish...you you've just spent all your money to see me sit here in the ring because I'm not moving until I'm done."
Another three or so minutes went by as the fans refused to let him speak. Punk would then lean back a little bit.
"You know tonight you guys had booked on the card The Great Muta against Ricky Steamboat, but seeing as how we're cutting into time thanks to you guys not keeping quiet...you're not going to be seeing that match now."
Damn did that egg them on even worse as CM Punk would just smirk.
"Oh..and dont' think that management is going to cut me off either, because they know that right now, C M Punk is in high demand and if I quit this company..I'm sure another would be more than happy to pick me up so the choice is yours people, deal with me a little longer...or say you just spent your hard earned money to see C M Punk sit in the ring."
Eventually, even after ten minutes of screaming all together the fans would die down as Punk rose up.
"Now...any good champion worth his salt should surround himself with greatness...and this plan didn't just go straight to me...I had others in mind so if my fellow disiples could please come down to this ring..."
[Play Out]
Priceless, Drew McIntyre, Katie Lea and Billy Kidman all made their way down to the ring, all of which, having titles on their shoulders as Punk, like a general would walk back and forth, smirking as they stood in formation.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, standing before you are all...champions, men and woman whom fought hard to get where they are and you people hate. Drew here destroyed an invicible Evan Bourne...as did Billy Kidman killing the legacy of his cruiserweight title. And dont' say that Bourne was already worn out from his match, I had to wrestle two matches straight to get my U.S. Title. Katie Lea the only woman alive smart enough to exit a cage while that overrated canadian locked in an overrated finisher. And lets not forget...the longest reigning tag team champions in ANY company and yet they weren't even invited to Super Card...and you know why...because they would have WON. Standing before you is a Legion, an Army...a Revolution of individuals that demand your respect and will take it. We're not going to call ourselves an Incorporation, we're not goign to define ourselves by our Nationality...we're not going to dress in black and think it's Halloween all year long...we're not going to become a group of smarks and come up with our own catch phrases..and for the love of god we're not going to sit here and preach to you how to live your lives because lets face it, that would only give you reason to make a stupid tee shirt. We're not Vipers, we're not Games, we're not undead and we're not by any means some corporate shoe that the stock holders and cash in. We're not going to hold our four fingers up and we're not going to define ourselves from some stupid three letter group that started in japan and migrated here like a cheap immigrant. We are the new faces of this industry, the new blood of this industry...we are...The Revolution and there isn't a dammed person or group that can stop us."
[Play Out]
It didn't take long for someone to lead the charge as Steamboat slowly started to come down to the ring, staring eye to eye with one Rick Steamboat.
"Oh, my god, can it be the Legend himself Ricky Steamboat, everyone stand back or he just might...beat all five of us. HA, really Ricky what is it you want? Oh please don't tell me you've come to challenge us because you're nothing but a pubic hair compared to me."
"You can stop right there Punk. For the last six months I've heard nothing but you talk about how good your matches have been and how great your match at Starrcade was and your match at Super Card. Let me tell you something, at Starrcade I have a five star match with Chris Benoit..and at Super Card I had the same with Shawn Michaels. Now you either show me some respect, or I'll just beat it into you."
"Oh really? Is that so Steamboat? In case you haven't noticed you're quite out numbered and I have no problem breaking your neck right here in the center of the ring, now get the hell out of my ring."
"Tell you what Punk...if you can toss me out of this ring I won't bother you again...but just to make the odds..just a little bit even...there are some guys in the back that are just dying to get their hands on each and every one of you."
[Play Out]
The Legion of Doom, John Morrison, Victoria and a returning Rey Mysterio came into the fray making the sides even....as the battle would ensue. Both sides fighting till their hearts content, fists just flying all over the place as neither side was winning until.
[Play out]
As if it couldn't get worse, Kane started to come down to the ring all on his own, entering the battle and started to attack....everything that moved, including the women hitting them with double chokeslams and eliminating everyone one by one leaving Punk and Steamboat in the ring alone as he would grab both of them, chokeslamming them down as he would ignite the posts on fire, making his stance very well known.
Matches on Nitro
With even all of that going on, matches had to be set for the Pay Per View, despite the internal turf war that appeared to be occuring, and since the event was their Hardcore Show, they had to come up with something clever. However, The Revolution as they called themselves, knew they had thirty days before having to defend their titles, therefore, decided to take a 29 day vacation knowing the day of the Pay Per View would be day 30 and they were free and clear. During their absence, NWA decided to not only work without them but to also book their matches knowing they couldn't protest against it. However several of the NWA loyale already were starting to voice their opinions on whom should have their title shots. With Hardy out due to a neck injury and Bourne's status still unknown, Three Singles titles were up for grabs though their spots could not be handed over, deciding to hold a series of matches with the winners getting top spots and the option to choose the stipulation in their match.
NWA Officials decided to hold an over the top rope elimination for the Cruiserweight Title featuring Mysterio, Hurrican, Yoshi Tatzu, Stevie Richards, Ultimo Dragon, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Sabin and Dean Malenko. In the end, it was the returning Rey Mysterio. Thinking long and hard about the kind of match he wanted, and since it was his big return back, he was coming back with a bang as he made his match selection.
Match One - Mysterio vs. Kidman - NWA Cruiserweight Title - Ladder Match
With the Flock being completely dismantled, Jake Roberts was absolutely enraged over the fact that Katie Lea also left due to the fact she was the only one whom won gold. Roberts then made a mission for Raven to acquire the World Title, placing him in snake pits, enclosed coffins, water torture and playing on his fears. Raven was picked for an 8 man Tournament for a shot at the World Title seeing as how Jeff Hardy was injured indeffinately. Meanwhile Priceless was seen relaxing upon a yatch, tanning, talking about how great life was and how at Uncensored their year long title reign would finally occur and they were booking women, booze and expensive hotels, not worrying about their opponents
The Matches
John Morrison battled Rick Rude, catching the victory after an altercation in the ring. Drew McIntyre decided to call the match and prove that he was the real playboy, the real champion and also made note that himself, Christian and Morrison all came in during Starrcade, one was gone and the other became champion, saying if anything, he was the success and Morrison...just sucked. This prompted an altercation between the two of them, spilling to the back.
Kane defeated Bam Bam Bigelow advancing on
Arn Anderson defeated Ultimo Dragon Via Count Out, advancing on
Great Muta defeated Hakushi, advancing on
Ricky Steamboat after an altercation between Raven and Kane caught the win, advancing on.
After the first round matches, General Manager BM was standing in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand, ready to make an announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen... NWA has acquired some very, very exceptional talent over the last week. Unfortunately though, we have also lost some talent in the process, but fear not, the action you will be seeing in place will excite you, and engross you in some of the absolute best wrestling talent ever witnessed. First off, I regret to inform you that we have lost Jazz, Kevin Thorne, and the exceptional Chris Sabin. So, you three, if you're watching, good bye, and good luck. Now, onto more important matters. I'd like to introduce three of our newest talents, The Anti-Angel, Serena, my personal favorite, the vicious Scream Queen, MsChif, and the spectacular South African cruiserweight, Justin Gabriel!!"
The three that BM introduced started to come down to the ring and enter, BM holding the ropes open for Serena and MsChif, taking extra time to admire every inch of MsChif, as he held the ropes open for Gabriel, Gabriel pushed him back, preferring to enter by flipping over the top rope, leaping into the center of the ring, causing the crowd to applaud and cheer.
"Yes, yes... I think NWA has done very well thusfar, and there will be more talents, I assure you, this is just the beginning! First of all, I'd like to welcome you three to the NWA, Serena, we'll start with you, welcome to NWA."
Serena took the mic from BM's hand and spoke with conviction
"You've all heard the saying... girls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Well, I say, to hell with that! I'm the anti-Angel, Serena. I'm cold, calculating, and I live for sin. I'm here to prove that girls are just as tough as the guys, if not tougher."
BM took the mic: "Well, that's definitely very convincing, now, onto MsChif, and if I get a little excited, forgive me, I'm rather happy to have gotten this amazing athlete into NWA-"
MsChif screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Serena to back up a few steps and Justin to turn around, as BM just stood there, smiling.
"Yeah... I'm just gonna let you speak. Here ya go."
MsChif snatched the mic from BM's hand.
"I'll make this short and simple. You're looking at the future of the NWA Women's Division. And NO ONE WILL STAND IN MY WAY!!!!" MsChif screamed into the heavens, a small legion of fans beginning to chant "Scream Queen!"
BM held his hand out, politely asking for the mic back, trying not to piss her off. MsChif handed him the mic back and shot him an evil look, tossing her hair behind her back, as BM stepped away.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna get on your bad side, for sure. Now, onto the newest acquisition, strengthening our cruiserweight division, one of the cornerstones of the NWA promotion, the South African Sensation, Justin Gabriel!"
Gabriel took the mic from BM.
"Thank you DM, thank you BM, for allowing me the honor to compete in the NWA. I promise you fans that you are going to see some of the greatest cruiserweight action you've ever seen in your entire lives. Justin Gabriel is going to fly to the top of NWA, so Billy Kidman, you better hold on tight to that belt. Because once I challenge you, I'll be taking it from you."
BM took the mic back.
"Well there you have it, three of our newest-"
[Play Out]
Bobby the Brain Heenan slowly started to make his way to the ring, cutting BM off in his tracks with a grin from ear to ear.
"Excuse me 5' foot nothing, but despite how...well talented these women can be, in which they should be making me a sandwhich anyway, you can brag about how good these picks are, but finally, the Heenan Family is growing and starting to flourish here in the NWA. So the three of you wasted draft picks that GM BM has wanked over six or seven times....get out and make way-"
Gabriel and the girls would then hit the mic out of his hand, slowly pushing him to the corner and started to take offense to what he was saying.
[Play Out]
The 8th Wonder of the World Andre the Giant slowly started to make his way down to the ring, an impressive sight indeed as he stepped into the ring, hitting Gabriel with a hard chop across the head then a huge bodyslam, tossing him out of the ring as the girls were smart enough to leave ringside. Andre standing tall in the ring with an evil laugh, Heenan taking the mic once again.
"Ha, I told you we were taking over and there is no man or group that can stop this man, the 8th Wonder of the World Andre..the Giant!"
Andre would do his signature throat squeeze pose, laughing as the lights started to flicker and the cameras would fade to black.
Week 2
The Draft was officially over and closed as Nitro was going to kick off with a bang heading towards their Pay Per View. Advertised was going to be the World Title Semi Finals featuring Ricky Steamboat, Kane, The Great Muta and Arn Anderson and also a special appearance from Katie Lea whom was going to make her 2nd Title Reign known to the world and of course a special video from Priceless and what they have been doing the last seven days.
[Play Out]
The fans were a bit in shock, the smart ones in awe actually as Misawa, Taka, The Great Sasuke, Hakushi and worse yet....Masahiro Chono picking up the rear with Mr. Fuji in the back, entering the ring one by one. Fuji would grab the mic.
"Everyone listen up because what you see here are the Godfathers of Japanese Pro Wrestling. Each one of these men are not only respected but also, feared amongst all of Japan. Last week a group of ragged tagged individuals call themselves the top of the food chain, right here are men who are not afraid of any man or group and will destroy all who oppose. Tonight we will make our presence known for any and all those whom disrespect us, starting with the one whom disrespected Mr. Misawa."
One by one, they would start to leave the ring as the video wall would flicker then pop on as Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes were laying on massage tables, talking amongst themselves, obviously it was a live feed.
"Ah hello there fellow peasants, you know a thought occured to me that...Uncensored is the very same event where myself and Cody Rhodes won the tag team titles...so I guess that means...year long champions?"
"Ah yes Ted but not to fear, we're not worried about losing our titles...frankly because...well...we're so dammed good."
DiBiase would raise up slightly and stretch as he smirked, seeming to look into a camera and a live feed of Nitro.
"You know, we might be looking at our opponents right now Cody, I mean that's high calibur Japanesse talent right there whom I'm sure would love to destroy us at the event where we became tag team champsions."
Cody would turn his head, raising a brow.
"Ted...are you insane...they can't hold a candle to us, hell they couldn't defeat us....they're asian....and they're only really good for one...particular thing."
The cameras would pan back as Priceless had typical asian women massaging them down as Priceless would chime two glasses together, sipping down champagne, rising up from the tables and wrapped towels around themselves off camera as DiBiase came into view.
"Oh...don't hate us because we're rich...and don't hate us because we were born better...hate us because...while Japanesse products, much like your cheap women have a price....we on the other hand....Are Priceless."
The tron faded out as Misawa and his team left ringside, obviously, enraged, now putting Priceless in their sights. However Nitro had to officially start with the first match of the evening featuring Justin Gabriel making a statement as he went one on one with the Master of the 619 Rey Mysterio. Gabriel deffinately earned his wrestling wings but came up short as Mysterio was able to get the win but rose his hand up saying it was a great match though were attacked from behind by Billy Kidman whom beat the crap out of both of them with a steel chair, grabbing a mic.
"You think bringing a ladder is going stop me from destroying you Mysterio? I destroyed Evan Bourne, the man you could not beat...I can't wait to rip that stupid mask off of your head. And...as far as you go Gabriel, oh...oh you just wait boy because whenever hell freezes over and you get a shot at my title, I'll rape every last dream you have of being champion and send you alongside with the rest of the shit management drafted."
Kidman left the ring with a scowl on his face, smirking however as he would head to the back, Mysterio pulling himself up and helping Justin to his feet. Cameras flew to the back to see John Morrision and Drew McIntyre having a massive brawl in the back, Drew obviously was there for management reasons though security finally pulled them away. Morrison was scheduled to have a match against Rude once again though Drew would jump him from behind as they fought backstage, this issue not getting at all resolved.
The women were granted a spot that night to showcase their talents as Serena took her frustrations out on Luna in a match that could be described as....stiff with Serena getting the win, leaving the ring looking for that title match.
[Play out]
Vampriss came down, smirking as she would stand in the middle of the ring, holding her title proud.
"Oh don't be getting boners already loves because I'll only be out here for moment. This is to all of the women in the NWA that if you think....you have a chance to take what's rightfully mine...twice mind you...then you better bring your A-Game because there is no way in hell I'm giving this title up without a fight."
Though she was cut off as Victoria flew into the ring from the crowd, attacking her with a full on rage, dropping her with the Widow's Peak, sliding out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair, re entering and swung for the fences as Lea slid out of the ring and would back peddle, holding her head a little bit as Victoria slid out of the ring, chasing after her.
Main Matches
It was time for the semi finals as Arn Anderson would square off against the Monster known as Kane as the fans already were ready to chose a side. Kane and Anderson would, for lack of a better term, nearly destroyed each other as Kane tossed Anderson to the floor and proceeded to decimate him. With a quick gouge to the eye, Anderson was able to slip into the ring just a second quicker as Kane was counted out...the ref being chokeslammed to the floor after that as Anderson ran like holy hell, Kane would ignite the posts and proceeded to the back.
The next match was for sure going to be an in ring classic as The Great Muta would go on on one with Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, much to the fans delight, was a 50/50 match. Muta and Steamboat completely owned the rest of Monday Nitro having a match where not even commercials would interrupt. In the end, while Muta was setting Steamboat up for the Shining Wizard, Hakushi came down to the ring, more so to get a birds eye view, coming down to the ring. This slight distraction cost Muta greatly as Steamboat was able to catch a quick inside cradle to win the match though Hakushi would pounce along with Sasuke and Taka springing in, beating down Steamboat and Muta. They would take Muta and dragged him to the back as cameras faded out.
Once the cameras came back, The Rising Sun Dynasty had left a bloody and beaten Muta on the floor with a Japanesse Symbol written in blood over his head that said "Hara Kiri." Management was actually in an arguement with John Morrison as he was yelling that he wanted Drew McIntyre in the worst way as reports came in that they had been fighting in bars, the streets and even the airport when they traveled and this had to stop as a match was then..booked.
Match Two - Drew McIntyre vs. John Morrision - NWA United States Title - Falls Count Anywhere
Before the last segment on Nitro, The Patriot had made his in ring debut as he went one on one with fellow Brit, William Regal. Both of them would battle it out for the later half of Nitro with Regal ready to score big though Patriot fought back, tackling Regal down and ready to finish the deal when he was hit from behind by Chono as the match came to an end. Rising Sun Dynasty would attack in full, taking down both of them even if Regal and Partriot put up a fight. Misawa would deliver and Emerald Flowsion to both of them, looking down at them in disgust as the lights would start to flicker and quickly fade out. Within almost a moment they came back and Sasuke was missing as they looked around and headed to the back. The final match of the evening saw Andre the Giant literally destroying Hurricane Helms in under two minutes, followed up with a quick match with Goldberg taking down Stevie Richards, almost as if....trying to match times.
Cameras would cut to the back as Misawa and Co. were looking around for Sasuke, having no choice but to enter their locker room, all of them gasping out as they found Sasuke beaten to a bloody pulp, barbed wire wrapped around his chest and throat as he was trapped within the chair, a note attched to his forehead. Fuji would take the note off while Taka and Chono tried to help Sasuke off, Fuji reading out.
"One down...four to go.....Muta wants....Hakushi......Uncensored.......Japanesse...Death Match."
As the cameras fade to black.
Week 3
Nitro would have opened up normally though Priceless had opened the show as they were in an expensive resturaunt, enjoying lifes spoils nonetheless, both of them arguing over whom was going to pay for the bill, joking back and forth until they both rose up and started to leave, neither of them paying the bill as they realized, they were rich and what were they going to do..sue them? The next shot was of them tanning and relaxing on a private yatch, basking in the glow of fortune and wealth.
"Oh hello, I'm Ted DiBiase better known as the Prodigy of the NWA."
"And I'm Cody Rhodes, to many women and American success but to many parents an American Nightmare."
"Take refuge in knowing that in just a short while, Priceless will be celebrating their one year anniversary and successful title defense against perhaps a colorful tag team."
"See we came to realize that, it doesn't matter whom we face at Uncensored because like always, we're going to walk in and walk out as tag champions."
"So if you don't mind, we gave you a peak at how great life is to us, now you can return to that pathetic life of yours."
Nitro would officially start as it was announced the finals in the World Title Tournament as Steamboat would face Arn Anderson and Katie Lea was scheduled to also be in attendance with Drew McIntyre as they were to go one on one with John Morrison and Melina in mixed tag action and also the reaction to Great Muta's challenge on Hakushi, an answer would come forth.
Matches
The opening bout saw Ultimo Dragon making a return to the ring as he went one on one with new rookie Justin Gabriel. Gabriel would ignite the crowd though the veteran Ultimo Dragon was able to catch the win on the young rookie, shaking his hand in a manner of respect, Gabriel leaving the ring.
[Play Out]
Misawa and his band slowly started to make their way into the ring, slowly starting to surround Ultimo Dragon, Mr. Fuji taking a mic.
"Ah, Ultimo, a fine wrestler indeed. We in the Rising Sun Dynasty wish to know, if you desire to join. You, will never be turned down in title matches and will be in the premier events instead of being a mid carder. What do you say Yoshiro?"
Ultimo would look around, realizing he was essentially trapped but would shake his head, not wanting to associate himself as he went to leave, Chono, grabbing him by the arm and turning him around. They would lock eyes as Chono then hit him over the head, punching him in the corner as Taka and Hakushi joined in, each of them hitting a spot as they tossed the remains to Misawa who hit the Emerald Flowsion square in the middle of the ring, Fuji speaking up on the mic.
"Just like that, like cobra, we strike down. You mess with one, you mess with us all. Great Muta...Hakushi accept you challenge, just pray, he finish you quick."
Match Three - Great Muta vs. Hakushi - Japanese Death Match
Once commercial faded, Nitro came back on the air but we are sent right to what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse, it was dark and cold, the sound of dripping water and rolling metal could be heard in the faint distance as slowly a camera would pan towards a snake, slowly slithering along the ground. A hand reached down, picking it up nice and slow as Jake Roberts came into view, his eyes fixed upon the creature before speaking.
"So deceptive isn't it? Without claws, feets or even size in its factor, the snake, is one of the most feared creatures in the known world. Not only, are they masters at hiding and successors of striking, they alone hold the ability to take down man and beast...with just one bite. Deceptive, deadly...lethal.....once you understand the nature...of that which is feared, you begin to understand. Behind this door....is a man whom is learning about survival...about fear....about pain. The man you knew as Raven....will no longer be what you know...but a transformation of something new...and he will be an unstoppale force once I unleash the venom from his fangs."
The sound of a man yelling, almost bellowing in fear and in pain as the door would start to rattle and shake, even pound some as Jake stood by the door with an evil grin.
"You ever wonder what happens to a man when you starve him of light....warmth...and food....you'll surely find out."
A fist came through a window, reaching out for something, anything though it was far too small for anyone to crawl through, Jake just laughing at him as the camera would get fuzzy then fade out.
Nitro came back on as Stevie Richards was in the ring, waiting for his opponent as he said he would beat the hell out of him with ease as it turned out to be Andre the Giant. Andre took his time getting into the ring, looking down at Stevie with a grin as the bell sounded. Stevie would try punching, kicking, hell, even a bodyslam if it would have worked as Andre just clobbered him down, taking him down with a sambo suplex then covered for three in record time.
The next match saw Serena literally destroying a local competitor being as brutal as she could be within reason, thank god for rules. The next match after that, William Regal had a match against Dean Malenko in a long fifteen minute bout. Hold for hold the match could have gone either way though Regal was able to get the upset over Malenko, smirking to himself as he walked off.
It almost seemed like forever but the semi main event of the evening occured with Lea and Drew squaring off against Morrison and Melina in mixed tag action. It was hard to really choose a winning side though it was easy to tell Morrison and Melina had the fan support, Melina being more daring and had no problem hitting Drew with a couple of moves, forcing Lea in the ring when she could. The tension was obvious between Drew and Morrison as once a double tag in from the girls ensued, both of them would lock horns, both of them being aggressive in the ring. Morrison was getting the upper hand in the later half as the girls eventually tagged in though it didn't stop the guys from brawling on the outside. Melina had Lea locked up for the finish as the ref took a shot to the eye, giving Drew a chance to slide into the ring and clocked her with the Future Shock, sliding out of the ring giving Lea a chance to get the win. Morrison catching what Drew did and fought him to the back.
Lea would smirk down at Melina, tossing her out of the ring and posed with the title over her shoulder, soaking it all in, exiting the ring.
[Play Out]
Lea was stopped in her tracks as Lita had returned, bum rushing the ring and would tackle her down, ramming her head into the floor, tossing her into the ring and proceeded to kick the holy hell out of her, dropping her with a Twist of Fate then tossed her out of the ring, grabbing a mic.
"Hey....remember me Lea? Remember how you tried to take me out and stole that title for yourself? Well, last I remember the General Manager said when I get back I get first cracks at the champion...and it just so happens to be you. So at Uncensored, I'm going to kick your ass up and down my hometown of North Carolina in a No Holds Barred Match."
Match 4 - Lita vs Katie Lea - NWA Women's Title - No Holds Barred
The main event of the evening was Ricky Steamboat going one on one with Arn Anderson. This match would consume the rest of the remaining time on Nitro. In a match that could be described as Starrcade worthy, Steamboat controlled the early half until Arn would use his strength to slowly take over. Nearfalls and near submissions as well, both of these men would battle it out until the bitter end wrestling for a good half hour as the crowd was just eating it up. Anderson rose Steamboat up and slammed him down with authority upon the mat with a spinebuster, covering for two. The exhaustion in his face told the story as he was forced to pull Steamboat to his feet raising him up for another spinebuster though Steamboat would counter out of it with a roll up for the victory. Raising his arm in victory an exhausted Steamboat would finally get a chance at the World Heavyweight Title as a dejected Arn looked on in anger, exiting through the curtain while a surprise guest, CM Punk stepped through, standing upon the stage and looked on at the winner, nodding his head gently as the camera faded to black.
Week 4
Nitro was explosive as most of the week already people were talking about the main event of Uncensored though the question was what kind of match would Steamboat choose for them to battle in since it was the challengers choice. The contract signing would be the final portion of the show with several matches stacked up for the show, however it opened up once again with a video montage of Priceless yet again.
Priceless was seen coming out of a limo, dressed to the nines, hell even the tens as they pushed their way through the door with grins upon their faces. They were stopped by 'press' and cameras as they were laughing it all up walking up upon a stage, cameras blaring all over the place. DiBiase stood behind a podium with a mic, smiling.
"Thank you all for coming. Today is a grand day indeed as, I...we I should say, have increased our wealth even more if that were even possible. You know my father used to say that everyone has their price, and that's quite true. You see for a few years now this...shack I suppose you could call it has been in decline but there is good news...myself and Cody Rhodes have purchased the property and we are now the new landlords and sole owners. We will help rejuvinate this decreptid wasteland into a five million dollar a day revenue."
There were sounds of clapping and applause as DiBiase fixed his tie.
"However with good news there is also bad. As of 5 pm today, all of the fellow employees...are fired. And all of the tennats must vacate the area or they will be charged with vagrancy on private property. Thank you all and good day."
DiBiase would fold his papers and slowly walked off of the stage with Cody as the cameras caught up with them on the outside, they obviously were laughing as Cody spoke.
"You really sure it was the right thing to do? I mean this area is the pits Ted."
"Oh don't worry we'll make millions off of this. Besides...we can't have orphans living in our new health spa can we?"
They walked off camera the camera would pan out, seeing that they had purchased an orphanage with plans to tear it down and turn it into a health spa, stepping into a limo and drove off. The fans on Nitro, shocked at the callousness of it and were jeering.
Matches
The first match pitted on the evening was Jake Roberts making a surprise return with almost a year out of action getting a mixed reaction as he went one on one with an old rival being Ravishing Rick Rude. In a hard fought battle, Jake was able to get the win over Rude, slithering out of the ring and talking about how Raven was nevermore...but a new Raven was coming very, very soon.
The next match saw Billy Kidman whom was being punished for attacking Mysterio and Gabriel after their match, pitting him in a bout against Stevie Richards, non title. The match was fast paced and reversals were all over the place though Kidman by hooking the tights was able to get the win, however directly after the match, Mysterio would slid into the ring, dropkicking Kidman into the ropes and hit the 619, Kidman rolling out of the ring as Rey grabbed a mic.
"Hey hombre, I know there's lots of questions buzzing around about what's been up with Rey Mysterio lately. All you and you fans need to know is...that while I'm still the greatest luchadore in all the world...I will not allow you or anyone to disgrace that Cruiserweight Title. At uncensored, the Master of the 619 will be Champion again."
Mysterio got a loud pop, perhaps aligning himself with himself for now though what was for certain was that he was prepared for a battle as Kidman would back peddal to the back.
The next match saw Victoria, taking out her frustrations on not getting a rematch with Katie Lea, on Serena the Anti Angel. While both girls fought perhaps a stiff bout, it would end in a draw as the ten minute limit would expire though both women were nearly pulled apart, seeming ready to fight even more after the bout was finished.
The next match once the women were cleared out would see the young rookie Justin Gabriel looking for even more ring time, bouncing off of the ropes in eagerness for his opponent though went pale with fear as the posts would ignite and a rather enraged Kane came down to the ring. Gabriel doing what he thought was best would try attacking early though it only made Kane even more infuriated if that were possible, beating the young rookie to a complete pulp, chokeslamming him to the center of the ring but would leave ringside, much to the fans dismay, Kane was not his opponent as Gabriel was helped out of the ring and brought to the back.
Nitro came back from commercial as Priceless appeared to be at the Nitrozone, stepping slowly out of the limo, hearing the jeers from inside the arena deciding to make their way to the ring. Before they were able to enter another match was set as The Rising Sun Dynasty would encricle the ring, allowing for Taka to wrestle against Ultimo Dragon, two of Japan's biggest stars yet. While the match only lasted ten or so minutes, Ultimo was barely able to catch a victory when Chono bashed him over the head with a wooden paddle, breaking it over his head then would pounce like savage lions upon him, the match being ruled a DQ. They would proceed to rip into him going as far as to rip his mask off and take it with them, sending a message to Great Muta.

Priceless slowly came down to the ring, holding their titles over their shoulders and stepped into the ring, hearing the rally of jeers as they spoke up.
"You know, not for nothing but I don't understand why you people hate us so much. I mean for the last year, myself and Cody Rhodes have brought so much fame and wealth to the NWA..I mean..we single handedly are the single greatest tag teams in any promotion holding these titles for nearly a year. You'd think that kind of prestigue would get us somewhere."
Cody would take the mic from him.
"Don't mind them Ted, the problem is, they cling to their heroes so tightly that when we beat them it only sets them off. See they hate knowing that no matter what tag team comes along we can crush them and it just so happens that this Sunday will be the celebration of our year long title reign and everyone here, and I mean EVERYONE thinks we're going to lose, I just hope there are enough tissues in the arena for all the wet eyes at who we destroy."
DiBiase would laugh just like his father, taking the mic back from Cody.
"Truth be told Cody we are the best in this business and we have proved it time in and time out and it doesn't matter whom the NWA officials jerk off over thinking these titles are going anywhere because while all the teams have a price for fame and glory...we...are...Priceless."
Priceless then would slowly leave the ring, Cody actually staying back a bit hearing some of the fans curse him out, taking a soda from them and tossed it back at them, laughing it up as they exited the curtain.
Nitro came back from commercial as there were just a few matches left on the show as DDP had made a huge return to NWA, exploding onto the seen with firepower as he went one on one with William Regal, scoring the win after countering the Regal cutter with a Diamond Cutter, getting a loud ovation.
The final match would see the Patriot lacing his boots and went one on one with Hurricane Helms in a highly competitive match. The Patriot came off with the win with a victory roll though both men shook hands after the match leaving as Nitro went to commercial.
Once returning, DM stood in the middle of the ring with the contract in hand and a table, ready to get this underway.

CM Punk came out though he wasn't alone having Priceless and Stephanie behind him, perhaps as backup as he entered the ring, smirking all the while as Steamboat got a rounding ovation, entering the ring ready to fight right there and then as both parties stood on opposit sides of the table, Punk however had a mic.
"Let me be the first one to say Steamboat that no matter what match you choose at Uncensored, it will be a steady and swift victory. Your time has come and gone and while at one point you may have been considered the yin to Ric Flair's Yang, I am the Alpha and Omega of the NWA. Just choose your match wisely Rick."
He of course said Rick out of disrespect as Steamboat would nod, speaking up clearly for him to hear.
"Punk...you've been a fan favorite for a long time and while you turned your back on these people that cheered you name, you're going to rue the day you went against your principals. Now I can stand here all day and talk about how wrong you are..but I rather give these fans the greatest match in the history of professional wrestling...hense forth why at Uncensored you and myself are going one on one in the match of Champions...a 60 minute Iron Man Match."
The fans would litearlly explode as Punk knew he was going to be pushed to his limit with the Legend known as Ricky Steamboat as he leaned down, signing his name on the contract. Punk would talk to Steph for a moment, having her look over the contract then told him everything was perfectly fine as he would lean down and started to sign it, DM picking it up and looked everything over, making it official.
"Ladies and Gentleman, your main event for Uncensored will be...as stated here...CM Punk defending his World Title against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat in a 60 minute Iron Match Match! Gentleman, good luck."
DM would slowly leave the ring as Ricky would extend his palm as Punk would be a gentleman, shaking his hand and would slowly exit the ring with Stephanie behind him, Priceless staying behind to have some words with Steamboat, perhaps to rub a bit of pre match jitters into his face, actually finding sport in slapping him over the head though Steamboat would fight back, taking both of them on. Priceless would fight back though, showing their meanness by bashing him over the head with their title belts, setting him up for Lock Stock and Barrel.

LOD came blazing in, having enough of this garbage as they stormed inside, Priceless literally being ripped apart as Hawk and Animal made short work of them, clotheslining DiBiase out of the ring and taking Cody down with a Doomsday Device through the table, picking him up and tossed him out of the ring for good measure.
"We are sick and tired of you parading around like a bunch of jackasses posing as if you're the greatest tag team in history. For months we've been gunning for you and now we have our shot and we're gonna rip you new assholes and drive through ya, Tell em Hawk."
"You see, you two...can talk about how you're going to defend you title for a year..but truth be told...you have to get through us first...only this time...it'll be in a No DQ...Texas Tornado match. Enjoy your last seven days on this earth, because when we get through with you, you'll go from Priceless....to Lifeless."
Match Five - Pricess vs. LOD - NWA Tag Team Titles - No DQ Texas Tornado Match
Match Six - CM Punk vs. Ricky Steamboat - NWA World Title - 60 Minute Iron Man Match.

Punk came down to the ring, new World Champion as he would smirk from ear to ear with Stephanie McMahon at his side, holding the ropes open for her then slowly entering, hearing the rally of fans that were displeased with him.
"Surprise surprise, 24 hours ago I became the New World Heavyweight Champion and yet, you people, like sheep, actually believed that one Jeff Hardy was actually aligned with Stephanie McMahon? You're just as gullable as he is, I mean hell, how did you think I knew which hand he had the weapon in and the chair? Because I was orchastrating this from day one. Let me rewind time just a bit. It was last year at the Great American Bash where I was defeated in a cage match against John Cena, crushing my dreams, it wasn't until World War where I stood face to face with Jeff Hardy and by luck, he eliminated me and stole my spot at Starrcade. Slamboree hits and I make my claim to be the greatest wrestler in history...and one Evan Bourne comes out claiming he's more than a champion...when he has the same matches over and over again. Fast forward to Super Card, I defeated Four, count them, FOUR guys and who gets the match of the night and LOST his match? Evan...Bourne. So then fast forward to New Blood Rising, my chance at being a double champion, stolen....from Evan Bourne, so I risk it all and go for the World Title and won it and poor Evan and Jeff Hardy's dreams were shattered before a fellow competitor...and better competitor...the Straight Edge Champion that you all wanted for nearly a year...C M Punk."
The crowd would boo behind him only getting louder it seemed though he smirked, hearing 'you sold out' over and over again.
"Oh yes, I figure you hypocrits would start saying that, just because I have a manager doesn't mean I sold out. Hell, some of your greatest champions in history had managers. Like Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Triple H, Shawn Micheals, Hell...Even...The Undertaker had a manager and yet you jeer me, hypocrits."
The crowd would only get louder, not allowing him to finish talking as Punk would instruct Steph to get a chair, unfolding it and would sit there in the middle of the ring. Punk would just sit there, letting the fans yell and rally out, bringing the mic to his lips.
"I have all night people, you can sit here and scream all you want, when you're settled down..I'll continue."
They wouldn't even budge yelling out louder and louder if that were even possible, all sorts of chants such as 'you screwed us' and 'you sold out' were heard as Punk spoke again.
"You know you people paid money to see wrestling and tonight I have reserved time to talk..so either, you pipe down and let me finish...you you've just spent all your money to see me sit here in the ring because I'm not moving until I'm done."
Another three or so minutes went by as the fans refused to let him speak. Punk would then lean back a little bit.
"You know tonight you guys had booked on the card The Great Muta against Ricky Steamboat, but seeing as how we're cutting into time thanks to you guys not keeping quiet...you're not going to be seeing that match now."
Damn did that egg them on even worse as CM Punk would just smirk.
"Oh..and dont' think that management is going to cut me off either, because they know that right now, C M Punk is in high demand and if I quit this company..I'm sure another would be more than happy to pick me up so the choice is yours people, deal with me a little longer...or say you just spent your hard earned money to see C M Punk sit in the ring."
Eventually, even after ten minutes of screaming all together the fans would die down as Punk rose up.
"Now...any good champion worth his salt should surround himself with greatness...and this plan didn't just go straight to me...I had others in mind so if my fellow disiples could please come down to this ring..."

Priceless, Drew McIntyre, Katie Lea and Billy Kidman all made their way down to the ring, all of which, having titles on their shoulders as Punk, like a general would walk back and forth, smirking as they stood in formation.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, standing before you are all...champions, men and woman whom fought hard to get where they are and you people hate. Drew here destroyed an invicible Evan Bourne...as did Billy Kidman killing the legacy of his cruiserweight title. And dont' say that Bourne was already worn out from his match, I had to wrestle two matches straight to get my U.S. Title. Katie Lea the only woman alive smart enough to exit a cage while that overrated canadian locked in an overrated finisher. And lets not forget...the longest reigning tag team champions in ANY company and yet they weren't even invited to Super Card...and you know why...because they would have WON. Standing before you is a Legion, an Army...a Revolution of individuals that demand your respect and will take it. We're not going to call ourselves an Incorporation, we're not goign to define ourselves by our Nationality...we're not going to dress in black and think it's Halloween all year long...we're not going to become a group of smarks and come up with our own catch phrases..and for the love of god we're not going to sit here and preach to you how to live your lives because lets face it, that would only give you reason to make a stupid tee shirt. We're not Vipers, we're not Games, we're not undead and we're not by any means some corporate shoe that the stock holders and cash in. We're not going to hold our four fingers up and we're not going to define ourselves from some stupid three letter group that started in japan and migrated here like a cheap immigrant. We are the new faces of this industry, the new blood of this industry...we are...The Revolution and there isn't a dammed person or group that can stop us."

It didn't take long for someone to lead the charge as Steamboat slowly started to come down to the ring, staring eye to eye with one Rick Steamboat.
"Oh, my god, can it be the Legend himself Ricky Steamboat, everyone stand back or he just might...beat all five of us. HA, really Ricky what is it you want? Oh please don't tell me you've come to challenge us because you're nothing but a pubic hair compared to me."
"You can stop right there Punk. For the last six months I've heard nothing but you talk about how good your matches have been and how great your match at Starrcade was and your match at Super Card. Let me tell you something, at Starrcade I have a five star match with Chris Benoit..and at Super Card I had the same with Shawn Michaels. Now you either show me some respect, or I'll just beat it into you."
"Oh really? Is that so Steamboat? In case you haven't noticed you're quite out numbered and I have no problem breaking your neck right here in the center of the ring, now get the hell out of my ring."
"Tell you what Punk...if you can toss me out of this ring I won't bother you again...but just to make the odds..just a little bit even...there are some guys in the back that are just dying to get their hands on each and every one of you."
[Play Out]
The Legion of Doom, John Morrison, Victoria and a returning Rey Mysterio came into the fray making the sides even....as the battle would ensue. Both sides fighting till their hearts content, fists just flying all over the place as neither side was winning until.
[Play out]
As if it couldn't get worse, Kane started to come down to the ring all on his own, entering the battle and started to attack....everything that moved, including the women hitting them with double chokeslams and eliminating everyone one by one leaving Punk and Steamboat in the ring alone as he would grab both of them, chokeslamming them down as he would ignite the posts on fire, making his stance very well known.
Matches on Nitro
With even all of that going on, matches had to be set for the Pay Per View, despite the internal turf war that appeared to be occuring, and since the event was their Hardcore Show, they had to come up with something clever. However, The Revolution as they called themselves, knew they had thirty days before having to defend their titles, therefore, decided to take a 29 day vacation knowing the day of the Pay Per View would be day 30 and they were free and clear. During their absence, NWA decided to not only work without them but to also book their matches knowing they couldn't protest against it. However several of the NWA loyale already were starting to voice their opinions on whom should have their title shots. With Hardy out due to a neck injury and Bourne's status still unknown, Three Singles titles were up for grabs though their spots could not be handed over, deciding to hold a series of matches with the winners getting top spots and the option to choose the stipulation in their match.
NWA Officials decided to hold an over the top rope elimination for the Cruiserweight Title featuring Mysterio, Hurrican, Yoshi Tatzu, Stevie Richards, Ultimo Dragon, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Sabin and Dean Malenko. In the end, it was the returning Rey Mysterio. Thinking long and hard about the kind of match he wanted, and since it was his big return back, he was coming back with a bang as he made his match selection.
Match One - Mysterio vs. Kidman - NWA Cruiserweight Title - Ladder Match
With the Flock being completely dismantled, Jake Roberts was absolutely enraged over the fact that Katie Lea also left due to the fact she was the only one whom won gold. Roberts then made a mission for Raven to acquire the World Title, placing him in snake pits, enclosed coffins, water torture and playing on his fears. Raven was picked for an 8 man Tournament for a shot at the World Title seeing as how Jeff Hardy was injured indeffinately. Meanwhile Priceless was seen relaxing upon a yatch, tanning, talking about how great life was and how at Uncensored their year long title reign would finally occur and they were booking women, booze and expensive hotels, not worrying about their opponents
The Matches
John Morrison battled Rick Rude, catching the victory after an altercation in the ring. Drew McIntyre decided to call the match and prove that he was the real playboy, the real champion and also made note that himself, Christian and Morrison all came in during Starrcade, one was gone and the other became champion, saying if anything, he was the success and Morrison...just sucked. This prompted an altercation between the two of them, spilling to the back.
Kane defeated Bam Bam Bigelow advancing on
Arn Anderson defeated Ultimo Dragon Via Count Out, advancing on
Great Muta defeated Hakushi, advancing on
Ricky Steamboat after an altercation between Raven and Kane caught the win, advancing on.
After the first round matches, General Manager BM was standing in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand, ready to make an announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen... NWA has acquired some very, very exceptional talent over the last week. Unfortunately though, we have also lost some talent in the process, but fear not, the action you will be seeing in place will excite you, and engross you in some of the absolute best wrestling talent ever witnessed. First off, I regret to inform you that we have lost Jazz, Kevin Thorne, and the exceptional Chris Sabin. So, you three, if you're watching, good bye, and good luck. Now, onto more important matters. I'd like to introduce three of our newest talents, The Anti-Angel, Serena, my personal favorite, the vicious Scream Queen, MsChif, and the spectacular South African cruiserweight, Justin Gabriel!!"
The three that BM introduced started to come down to the ring and enter, BM holding the ropes open for Serena and MsChif, taking extra time to admire every inch of MsChif, as he held the ropes open for Gabriel, Gabriel pushed him back, preferring to enter by flipping over the top rope, leaping into the center of the ring, causing the crowd to applaud and cheer.
"Yes, yes... I think NWA has done very well thusfar, and there will be more talents, I assure you, this is just the beginning! First of all, I'd like to welcome you three to the NWA, Serena, we'll start with you, welcome to NWA."
Serena took the mic from BM's hand and spoke with conviction
"You've all heard the saying... girls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Well, I say, to hell with that! I'm the anti-Angel, Serena. I'm cold, calculating, and I live for sin. I'm here to prove that girls are just as tough as the guys, if not tougher."
BM took the mic: "Well, that's definitely very convincing, now, onto MsChif, and if I get a little excited, forgive me, I'm rather happy to have gotten this amazing athlete into NWA-"
MsChif screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Serena to back up a few steps and Justin to turn around, as BM just stood there, smiling.
"Yeah... I'm just gonna let you speak. Here ya go."
MsChif snatched the mic from BM's hand.
"I'll make this short and simple. You're looking at the future of the NWA Women's Division. And NO ONE WILL STAND IN MY WAY!!!!" MsChif screamed into the heavens, a small legion of fans beginning to chant "Scream Queen!"
BM held his hand out, politely asking for the mic back, trying not to piss her off. MsChif handed him the mic back and shot him an evil look, tossing her hair behind her back, as BM stepped away.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna get on your bad side, for sure. Now, onto the newest acquisition, strengthening our cruiserweight division, one of the cornerstones of the NWA promotion, the South African Sensation, Justin Gabriel!"
Gabriel took the mic from BM.
"Thank you DM, thank you BM, for allowing me the honor to compete in the NWA. I promise you fans that you are going to see some of the greatest cruiserweight action you've ever seen in your entire lives. Justin Gabriel is going to fly to the top of NWA, so Billy Kidman, you better hold on tight to that belt. Because once I challenge you, I'll be taking it from you."
BM took the mic back.
"Well there you have it, three of our newest-"
[Play Out]
Bobby the Brain Heenan slowly started to make his way to the ring, cutting BM off in his tracks with a grin from ear to ear.
"Excuse me 5' foot nothing, but despite how...well talented these women can be, in which they should be making me a sandwhich anyway, you can brag about how good these picks are, but finally, the Heenan Family is growing and starting to flourish here in the NWA. So the three of you wasted draft picks that GM BM has wanked over six or seven times....get out and make way-"
Gabriel and the girls would then hit the mic out of his hand, slowly pushing him to the corner and started to take offense to what he was saying.
[Play Out]
The 8th Wonder of the World Andre the Giant slowly started to make his way down to the ring, an impressive sight indeed as he stepped into the ring, hitting Gabriel with a hard chop across the head then a huge bodyslam, tossing him out of the ring as the girls were smart enough to leave ringside. Andre standing tall in the ring with an evil laugh, Heenan taking the mic once again.
"Ha, I told you we were taking over and there is no man or group that can stop this man, the 8th Wonder of the World Andre..the Giant!"
Andre would do his signature throat squeeze pose, laughing as the lights started to flicker and the cameras would fade to black.
Week 2
The Draft was officially over and closed as Nitro was going to kick off with a bang heading towards their Pay Per View. Advertised was going to be the World Title Semi Finals featuring Ricky Steamboat, Kane, The Great Muta and Arn Anderson and also a special appearance from Katie Lea whom was going to make her 2nd Title Reign known to the world and of course a special video from Priceless and what they have been doing the last seven days.
[Play Out]
The fans were a bit in shock, the smart ones in awe actually as Misawa, Taka, The Great Sasuke, Hakushi and worse yet....Masahiro Chono picking up the rear with Mr. Fuji in the back, entering the ring one by one. Fuji would grab the mic.
"Everyone listen up because what you see here are the Godfathers of Japanese Pro Wrestling. Each one of these men are not only respected but also, feared amongst all of Japan. Last week a group of ragged tagged individuals call themselves the top of the food chain, right here are men who are not afraid of any man or group and will destroy all who oppose. Tonight we will make our presence known for any and all those whom disrespect us, starting with the one whom disrespected Mr. Misawa."
One by one, they would start to leave the ring as the video wall would flicker then pop on as Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes were laying on massage tables, talking amongst themselves, obviously it was a live feed.
"Ah hello there fellow peasants, you know a thought occured to me that...Uncensored is the very same event where myself and Cody Rhodes won the tag team titles...so I guess that means...year long champions?"
"Ah yes Ted but not to fear, we're not worried about losing our titles...frankly because...well...we're so dammed good."
DiBiase would raise up slightly and stretch as he smirked, seeming to look into a camera and a live feed of Nitro.
"You know, we might be looking at our opponents right now Cody, I mean that's high calibur Japanesse talent right there whom I'm sure would love to destroy us at the event where we became tag team champsions."
Cody would turn his head, raising a brow.
"Ted...are you insane...they can't hold a candle to us, hell they couldn't defeat us....they're asian....and they're only really good for one...particular thing."
The cameras would pan back as Priceless had typical asian women massaging them down as Priceless would chime two glasses together, sipping down champagne, rising up from the tables and wrapped towels around themselves off camera as DiBiase came into view.
"Oh...don't hate us because we're rich...and don't hate us because we were born better...hate us because...while Japanesse products, much like your cheap women have a price....we on the other hand....Are Priceless."
The tron faded out as Misawa and his team left ringside, obviously, enraged, now putting Priceless in their sights. However Nitro had to officially start with the first match of the evening featuring Justin Gabriel making a statement as he went one on one with the Master of the 619 Rey Mysterio. Gabriel deffinately earned his wrestling wings but came up short as Mysterio was able to get the win but rose his hand up saying it was a great match though were attacked from behind by Billy Kidman whom beat the crap out of both of them with a steel chair, grabbing a mic.
"You think bringing a ladder is going stop me from destroying you Mysterio? I destroyed Evan Bourne, the man you could not beat...I can't wait to rip that stupid mask off of your head. And...as far as you go Gabriel, oh...oh you just wait boy because whenever hell freezes over and you get a shot at my title, I'll rape every last dream you have of being champion and send you alongside with the rest of the shit management drafted."
Kidman left the ring with a scowl on his face, smirking however as he would head to the back, Mysterio pulling himself up and helping Justin to his feet. Cameras flew to the back to see John Morrision and Drew McIntyre having a massive brawl in the back, Drew obviously was there for management reasons though security finally pulled them away. Morrison was scheduled to have a match against Rude once again though Drew would jump him from behind as they fought backstage, this issue not getting at all resolved.
The women were granted a spot that night to showcase their talents as Serena took her frustrations out on Luna in a match that could be described as....stiff with Serena getting the win, leaving the ring looking for that title match.
[Play out]
Vampriss came down, smirking as she would stand in the middle of the ring, holding her title proud.
"Oh don't be getting boners already loves because I'll only be out here for moment. This is to all of the women in the NWA that if you think....you have a chance to take what's rightfully mine...twice mind you...then you better bring your A-Game because there is no way in hell I'm giving this title up without a fight."
Though she was cut off as Victoria flew into the ring from the crowd, attacking her with a full on rage, dropping her with the Widow's Peak, sliding out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair, re entering and swung for the fences as Lea slid out of the ring and would back peddle, holding her head a little bit as Victoria slid out of the ring, chasing after her.
Main Matches
It was time for the semi finals as Arn Anderson would square off against the Monster known as Kane as the fans already were ready to chose a side. Kane and Anderson would, for lack of a better term, nearly destroyed each other as Kane tossed Anderson to the floor and proceeded to decimate him. With a quick gouge to the eye, Anderson was able to slip into the ring just a second quicker as Kane was counted out...the ref being chokeslammed to the floor after that as Anderson ran like holy hell, Kane would ignite the posts and proceeded to the back.
The next match was for sure going to be an in ring classic as The Great Muta would go on on one with Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, much to the fans delight, was a 50/50 match. Muta and Steamboat completely owned the rest of Monday Nitro having a match where not even commercials would interrupt. In the end, while Muta was setting Steamboat up for the Shining Wizard, Hakushi came down to the ring, more so to get a birds eye view, coming down to the ring. This slight distraction cost Muta greatly as Steamboat was able to catch a quick inside cradle to win the match though Hakushi would pounce along with Sasuke and Taka springing in, beating down Steamboat and Muta. They would take Muta and dragged him to the back as cameras faded out.
Once the cameras came back, The Rising Sun Dynasty had left a bloody and beaten Muta on the floor with a Japanesse Symbol written in blood over his head that said "Hara Kiri." Management was actually in an arguement with John Morrison as he was yelling that he wanted Drew McIntyre in the worst way as reports came in that they had been fighting in bars, the streets and even the airport when they traveled and this had to stop as a match was then..booked.
Match Two - Drew McIntyre vs. John Morrision - NWA United States Title - Falls Count Anywhere
Before the last segment on Nitro, The Patriot had made his in ring debut as he went one on one with fellow Brit, William Regal. Both of them would battle it out for the later half of Nitro with Regal ready to score big though Patriot fought back, tackling Regal down and ready to finish the deal when he was hit from behind by Chono as the match came to an end. Rising Sun Dynasty would attack in full, taking down both of them even if Regal and Partriot put up a fight. Misawa would deliver and Emerald Flowsion to both of them, looking down at them in disgust as the lights would start to flicker and quickly fade out. Within almost a moment they came back and Sasuke was missing as they looked around and headed to the back. The final match of the evening saw Andre the Giant literally destroying Hurricane Helms in under two minutes, followed up with a quick match with Goldberg taking down Stevie Richards, almost as if....trying to match times.
Cameras would cut to the back as Misawa and Co. were looking around for Sasuke, having no choice but to enter their locker room, all of them gasping out as they found Sasuke beaten to a bloody pulp, barbed wire wrapped around his chest and throat as he was trapped within the chair, a note attched to his forehead. Fuji would take the note off while Taka and Chono tried to help Sasuke off, Fuji reading out.
"One down...four to go.....Muta wants....Hakushi......Uncensored.......Japanesse...Death Match."
As the cameras fade to black.
Week 3
Nitro would have opened up normally though Priceless had opened the show as they were in an expensive resturaunt, enjoying lifes spoils nonetheless, both of them arguing over whom was going to pay for the bill, joking back and forth until they both rose up and started to leave, neither of them paying the bill as they realized, they were rich and what were they going to do..sue them? The next shot was of them tanning and relaxing on a private yatch, basking in the glow of fortune and wealth.
"Oh hello, I'm Ted DiBiase better known as the Prodigy of the NWA."
"And I'm Cody Rhodes, to many women and American success but to many parents an American Nightmare."
"Take refuge in knowing that in just a short while, Priceless will be celebrating their one year anniversary and successful title defense against perhaps a colorful tag team."
"See we came to realize that, it doesn't matter whom we face at Uncensored because like always, we're going to walk in and walk out as tag champions."
"So if you don't mind, we gave you a peak at how great life is to us, now you can return to that pathetic life of yours."
Nitro would officially start as it was announced the finals in the World Title Tournament as Steamboat would face Arn Anderson and Katie Lea was scheduled to also be in attendance with Drew McIntyre as they were to go one on one with John Morrison and Melina in mixed tag action and also the reaction to Great Muta's challenge on Hakushi, an answer would come forth.
Matches
The opening bout saw Ultimo Dragon making a return to the ring as he went one on one with new rookie Justin Gabriel. Gabriel would ignite the crowd though the veteran Ultimo Dragon was able to catch the win on the young rookie, shaking his hand in a manner of respect, Gabriel leaving the ring.
[Play Out]
Misawa and his band slowly started to make their way into the ring, slowly starting to surround Ultimo Dragon, Mr. Fuji taking a mic.
"Ah, Ultimo, a fine wrestler indeed. We in the Rising Sun Dynasty wish to know, if you desire to join. You, will never be turned down in title matches and will be in the premier events instead of being a mid carder. What do you say Yoshiro?"
Ultimo would look around, realizing he was essentially trapped but would shake his head, not wanting to associate himself as he went to leave, Chono, grabbing him by the arm and turning him around. They would lock eyes as Chono then hit him over the head, punching him in the corner as Taka and Hakushi joined in, each of them hitting a spot as they tossed the remains to Misawa who hit the Emerald Flowsion square in the middle of the ring, Fuji speaking up on the mic.
"Just like that, like cobra, we strike down. You mess with one, you mess with us all. Great Muta...Hakushi accept you challenge, just pray, he finish you quick."
Match Three - Great Muta vs. Hakushi - Japanese Death Match
Once commercial faded, Nitro came back on the air but we are sent right to what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse, it was dark and cold, the sound of dripping water and rolling metal could be heard in the faint distance as slowly a camera would pan towards a snake, slowly slithering along the ground. A hand reached down, picking it up nice and slow as Jake Roberts came into view, his eyes fixed upon the creature before speaking.
"So deceptive isn't it? Without claws, feets or even size in its factor, the snake, is one of the most feared creatures in the known world. Not only, are they masters at hiding and successors of striking, they alone hold the ability to take down man and beast...with just one bite. Deceptive, deadly...lethal.....once you understand the nature...of that which is feared, you begin to understand. Behind this door....is a man whom is learning about survival...about fear....about pain. The man you knew as Raven....will no longer be what you know...but a transformation of something new...and he will be an unstoppale force once I unleash the venom from his fangs."
The sound of a man yelling, almost bellowing in fear and in pain as the door would start to rattle and shake, even pound some as Jake stood by the door with an evil grin.
"You ever wonder what happens to a man when you starve him of light....warmth...and food....you'll surely find out."
A fist came through a window, reaching out for something, anything though it was far too small for anyone to crawl through, Jake just laughing at him as the camera would get fuzzy then fade out.
Nitro came back on as Stevie Richards was in the ring, waiting for his opponent as he said he would beat the hell out of him with ease as it turned out to be Andre the Giant. Andre took his time getting into the ring, looking down at Stevie with a grin as the bell sounded. Stevie would try punching, kicking, hell, even a bodyslam if it would have worked as Andre just clobbered him down, taking him down with a sambo suplex then covered for three in record time.
The next match saw Serena literally destroying a local competitor being as brutal as she could be within reason, thank god for rules. The next match after that, William Regal had a match against Dean Malenko in a long fifteen minute bout. Hold for hold the match could have gone either way though Regal was able to get the upset over Malenko, smirking to himself as he walked off.
It almost seemed like forever but the semi main event of the evening occured with Lea and Drew squaring off against Morrison and Melina in mixed tag action. It was hard to really choose a winning side though it was easy to tell Morrison and Melina had the fan support, Melina being more daring and had no problem hitting Drew with a couple of moves, forcing Lea in the ring when she could. The tension was obvious between Drew and Morrison as once a double tag in from the girls ensued, both of them would lock horns, both of them being aggressive in the ring. Morrison was getting the upper hand in the later half as the girls eventually tagged in though it didn't stop the guys from brawling on the outside. Melina had Lea locked up for the finish as the ref took a shot to the eye, giving Drew a chance to slide into the ring and clocked her with the Future Shock, sliding out of the ring giving Lea a chance to get the win. Morrison catching what Drew did and fought him to the back.
Lea would smirk down at Melina, tossing her out of the ring and posed with the title over her shoulder, soaking it all in, exiting the ring.

Lea was stopped in her tracks as Lita had returned, bum rushing the ring and would tackle her down, ramming her head into the floor, tossing her into the ring and proceeded to kick the holy hell out of her, dropping her with a Twist of Fate then tossed her out of the ring, grabbing a mic.
"Hey....remember me Lea? Remember how you tried to take me out and stole that title for yourself? Well, last I remember the General Manager said when I get back I get first cracks at the champion...and it just so happens to be you. So at Uncensored, I'm going to kick your ass up and down my hometown of North Carolina in a No Holds Barred Match."
Match 4 - Lita vs Katie Lea - NWA Women's Title - No Holds Barred
The main event of the evening was Ricky Steamboat going one on one with Arn Anderson. This match would consume the rest of the remaining time on Nitro. In a match that could be described as Starrcade worthy, Steamboat controlled the early half until Arn would use his strength to slowly take over. Nearfalls and near submissions as well, both of these men would battle it out until the bitter end wrestling for a good half hour as the crowd was just eating it up. Anderson rose Steamboat up and slammed him down with authority upon the mat with a spinebuster, covering for two. The exhaustion in his face told the story as he was forced to pull Steamboat to his feet raising him up for another spinebuster though Steamboat would counter out of it with a roll up for the victory. Raising his arm in victory an exhausted Steamboat would finally get a chance at the World Heavyweight Title as a dejected Arn looked on in anger, exiting through the curtain while a surprise guest, CM Punk stepped through, standing upon the stage and looked on at the winner, nodding his head gently as the camera faded to black.
Week 4
Nitro was explosive as most of the week already people were talking about the main event of Uncensored though the question was what kind of match would Steamboat choose for them to battle in since it was the challengers choice. The contract signing would be the final portion of the show with several matches stacked up for the show, however it opened up once again with a video montage of Priceless yet again.
Priceless was seen coming out of a limo, dressed to the nines, hell even the tens as they pushed their way through the door with grins upon their faces. They were stopped by 'press' and cameras as they were laughing it all up walking up upon a stage, cameras blaring all over the place. DiBiase stood behind a podium with a mic, smiling.
"Thank you all for coming. Today is a grand day indeed as, I...we I should say, have increased our wealth even more if that were even possible. You know my father used to say that everyone has their price, and that's quite true. You see for a few years now this...shack I suppose you could call it has been in decline but there is good news...myself and Cody Rhodes have purchased the property and we are now the new landlords and sole owners. We will help rejuvinate this decreptid wasteland into a five million dollar a day revenue."
There were sounds of clapping and applause as DiBiase fixed his tie.
"However with good news there is also bad. As of 5 pm today, all of the fellow employees...are fired. And all of the tennats must vacate the area or they will be charged with vagrancy on private property. Thank you all and good day."
DiBiase would fold his papers and slowly walked off of the stage with Cody as the cameras caught up with them on the outside, they obviously were laughing as Cody spoke.
"You really sure it was the right thing to do? I mean this area is the pits Ted."
"Oh don't worry we'll make millions off of this. Besides...we can't have orphans living in our new health spa can we?"
They walked off camera the camera would pan out, seeing that they had purchased an orphanage with plans to tear it down and turn it into a health spa, stepping into a limo and drove off. The fans on Nitro, shocked at the callousness of it and were jeering.
Matches
The first match pitted on the evening was Jake Roberts making a surprise return with almost a year out of action getting a mixed reaction as he went one on one with an old rival being Ravishing Rick Rude. In a hard fought battle, Jake was able to get the win over Rude, slithering out of the ring and talking about how Raven was nevermore...but a new Raven was coming very, very soon.
The next match saw Billy Kidman whom was being punished for attacking Mysterio and Gabriel after their match, pitting him in a bout against Stevie Richards, non title. The match was fast paced and reversals were all over the place though Kidman by hooking the tights was able to get the win, however directly after the match, Mysterio would slid into the ring, dropkicking Kidman into the ropes and hit the 619, Kidman rolling out of the ring as Rey grabbed a mic.
"Hey hombre, I know there's lots of questions buzzing around about what's been up with Rey Mysterio lately. All you and you fans need to know is...that while I'm still the greatest luchadore in all the world...I will not allow you or anyone to disgrace that Cruiserweight Title. At uncensored, the Master of the 619 will be Champion again."
Mysterio got a loud pop, perhaps aligning himself with himself for now though what was for certain was that he was prepared for a battle as Kidman would back peddal to the back.
The next match saw Victoria, taking out her frustrations on not getting a rematch with Katie Lea, on Serena the Anti Angel. While both girls fought perhaps a stiff bout, it would end in a draw as the ten minute limit would expire though both women were nearly pulled apart, seeming ready to fight even more after the bout was finished.
The next match once the women were cleared out would see the young rookie Justin Gabriel looking for even more ring time, bouncing off of the ropes in eagerness for his opponent though went pale with fear as the posts would ignite and a rather enraged Kane came down to the ring. Gabriel doing what he thought was best would try attacking early though it only made Kane even more infuriated if that were possible, beating the young rookie to a complete pulp, chokeslamming him to the center of the ring but would leave ringside, much to the fans dismay, Kane was not his opponent as Gabriel was helped out of the ring and brought to the back.
Nitro came back from commercial as Priceless appeared to be at the Nitrozone, stepping slowly out of the limo, hearing the jeers from inside the arena deciding to make their way to the ring. Before they were able to enter another match was set as The Rising Sun Dynasty would encricle the ring, allowing for Taka to wrestle against Ultimo Dragon, two of Japan's biggest stars yet. While the match only lasted ten or so minutes, Ultimo was barely able to catch a victory when Chono bashed him over the head with a wooden paddle, breaking it over his head then would pounce like savage lions upon him, the match being ruled a DQ. They would proceed to rip into him going as far as to rip his mask off and take it with them, sending a message to Great Muta.

Priceless slowly came down to the ring, holding their titles over their shoulders and stepped into the ring, hearing the rally of jeers as they spoke up.
"You know, not for nothing but I don't understand why you people hate us so much. I mean for the last year, myself and Cody Rhodes have brought so much fame and wealth to the NWA..I mean..we single handedly are the single greatest tag teams in any promotion holding these titles for nearly a year. You'd think that kind of prestigue would get us somewhere."
Cody would take the mic from him.
"Don't mind them Ted, the problem is, they cling to their heroes so tightly that when we beat them it only sets them off. See they hate knowing that no matter what tag team comes along we can crush them and it just so happens that this Sunday will be the celebration of our year long title reign and everyone here, and I mean EVERYONE thinks we're going to lose, I just hope there are enough tissues in the arena for all the wet eyes at who we destroy."
DiBiase would laugh just like his father, taking the mic back from Cody.
"Truth be told Cody we are the best in this business and we have proved it time in and time out and it doesn't matter whom the NWA officials jerk off over thinking these titles are going anywhere because while all the teams have a price for fame and glory...we...are...Priceless."
Priceless then would slowly leave the ring, Cody actually staying back a bit hearing some of the fans curse him out, taking a soda from them and tossed it back at them, laughing it up as they exited the curtain.
Nitro came back from commercial as there were just a few matches left on the show as DDP had made a huge return to NWA, exploding onto the seen with firepower as he went one on one with William Regal, scoring the win after countering the Regal cutter with a Diamond Cutter, getting a loud ovation.
The final match would see the Patriot lacing his boots and went one on one with Hurricane Helms in a highly competitive match. The Patriot came off with the win with a victory roll though both men shook hands after the match leaving as Nitro went to commercial.
Once returning, DM stood in the middle of the ring with the contract in hand and a table, ready to get this underway.
[Play Out]
CM Punk came out though he wasn't alone having Priceless and Stephanie behind him, perhaps as backup as he entered the ring, smirking all the while as Steamboat got a rounding ovation, entering the ring ready to fight right there and then as both parties stood on opposit sides of the table, Punk however had a mic.
"Let me be the first one to say Steamboat that no matter what match you choose at Uncensored, it will be a steady and swift victory. Your time has come and gone and while at one point you may have been considered the yin to Ric Flair's Yang, I am the Alpha and Omega of the NWA. Just choose your match wisely Rick."
He of course said Rick out of disrespect as Steamboat would nod, speaking up clearly for him to hear.
"Punk...you've been a fan favorite for a long time and while you turned your back on these people that cheered you name, you're going to rue the day you went against your principals. Now I can stand here all day and talk about how wrong you are..but I rather give these fans the greatest match in the history of professional wrestling...hense forth why at Uncensored you and myself are going one on one in the match of Champions...a 60 minute Iron Man Match."
The fans would litearlly explode as Punk knew he was going to be pushed to his limit with the Legend known as Ricky Steamboat as he leaned down, signing his name on the contract. Punk would talk to Steph for a moment, having her look over the contract then told him everything was perfectly fine as he would lean down and started to sign it, DM picking it up and looked everything over, making it official.
"Ladies and Gentleman, your main event for Uncensored will be...as stated here...CM Punk defending his World Title against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat in a 60 minute Iron Match Match! Gentleman, good luck."
DM would slowly leave the ring as Ricky would extend his palm as Punk would be a gentleman, shaking his hand and would slowly exit the ring with Stephanie behind him, Priceless staying behind to have some words with Steamboat, perhaps to rub a bit of pre match jitters into his face, actually finding sport in slapping him over the head though Steamboat would fight back, taking both of them on. Priceless would fight back though, showing their meanness by bashing him over the head with their title belts, setting him up for Lock Stock and Barrel.

LOD came blazing in, having enough of this garbage as they stormed inside, Priceless literally being ripped apart as Hawk and Animal made short work of them, clotheslining DiBiase out of the ring and taking Cody down with a Doomsday Device through the table, picking him up and tossed him out of the ring for good measure.
"We are sick and tired of you parading around like a bunch of jackasses posing as if you're the greatest tag team in history. For months we've been gunning for you and now we have our shot and we're gonna rip you new assholes and drive through ya, Tell em Hawk."
"You see, you two...can talk about how you're going to defend you title for a year..but truth be told...you have to get through us first...only this time...it'll be in a No DQ...Texas Tornado match. Enjoy your last seven days on this earth, because when we get through with you, you'll go from Priceless....to Lifeless."
Match Five - Pricess vs. LOD - NWA Tag Team Titles - No DQ Texas Tornado Match
Match Six - CM Punk vs. Ricky Steamboat - NWA World Title - 60 Minute Iron Man Match.
