The World Wrestling Federation Presents
NO MERCY 2010
Live from the Chicago All States Arena
-The show opens with a package hyping the class cage and the Bryan Danielson against HBK rivalry.
-We then open to the arena and fireworks explode to and from the glass themed set. The crowd’s roars and then we hear that familiar voice.
“Welcome everyone to No Mercy live in the windy city!” Yells JR “it is indeed going to be merciless tonight as two men who absolutely hate each other will step inside that structure we see there. The glass cage!”
All look and cheers as the cage music plays and we are shown for the first time the glass structure that hangs above the ring ready for the main event.
“Wow what a monstrous structure indeed. Tonight someone is going to get hurt” replies Gorilla Monsoon as we then cut back to the announce table, all men still looking up but them straightening and looking at the camera “I am of course Gorilla Monsoon along with Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler!”
“Yeah Monsoon and tonight as every night for the past month we know that no one can interfere in any match whatsoever or be suspended. And the only man who can says he won’t!” King exclaims.
“The only man seemingly powerful enough to counterman the boss is the Undertaker and tonight folks as much as I don’t trust that dark bastard as far as I could throw him lately there is no throne at the entranceway as there has been for the last few months. It seems that indeed the Undertaker may tonight keep his word” JR tells us “well with that said let’s get down to it and get on with our first match. Howard its over to you.”
No #1 Contenders Battle Royal
“Our opening contest” Finkle begins “is an over the top rope battle royal to decide the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship at Survivor Series!”
First to make his entrance is Randy Savage, followed by Gabriel and Mankind, Its then Anderson who does not come down but instead raises his arm to the air and grabs down his microphone.
“Well well well! We are here, it’s no mercy and the time is now. Thing is boys only one of us can win, step over the rest and make their way to Superstardom come Survivor Series by winning that big bird looking belt. I mean its funny isn’t it? That a belt that’s meant to symbolize the World Champion is so Americanized. Yeah funny that. Then again at least its not a shinny gaudy piece of ‘bling’ anymore” he gestures air quotes “but at least that’s better that’s better than a big slab of gold that has been worn by David Arquette and Vince Russo…and Sid Vicious…that was a bad one. But anyone back from tangent city…where was I? Oh yeah! You are looking at the next World Wrestling Federation Champion because you all suck and I’m MRRRRRRR Anderson….Anderson!” With that his music kicks in and he continues his walk to the ring. Savage can barely restrain himself as Anderson cockily walks into the ring and mocks him. MVP is next followed by fellow Company member The Miz who walks out with Jim Cornette, Sherri out previously with MVP, and a mic in hand.
“Oh God…really Anderson really? By the way Kenney 2005 called and they even said you suck! But you know who is still relevant? You know who hasn’t messed up every opportunity given by getting injured or lying about taking steroids! I mean god…look at me” he waves over himself as he walks down the ramp “I don’t need any enhancement, I’m naturally awesome in every way. And as for the rest of you…don’t get me started. Two of you claim to from an invading force who pledges alliance to a master who hasn’t even bothered to show up with you. Ones a steroid monster who looks like the Incredible Hulk, this other…is just fat overrated piece of trash who knows how to fall from a cage! And you…Randy Savage, the Macho Man! Oh Yeah! Me and Glass Bones over there don’t agree on many things but we do agree about you! You are nothing! A nostalgia act that needed to have stayed in the 80’s. Thing is you sucked then and you sucked now. One way or another the Company will win this match, We…I will face the champion at Survivor Series” MVP shoots a POed look at his ally “and yes we are fully aware it may…no it will be Bryan...”
Miz stops and glares as Randy Savage walks up and snatches the microphone from his hands. He then looks around the ring, mainly at Miz and Anderson. “Are we going to talk all night or are we going to fight?”
With that he launches forward and smashes the microphone of the head of Anderson and quickly then closelines Miz. The others all launch forward and clash into each other, arms and feet flying everywhere as the bell rings. Mankind and Gabriel are working together as are MVP and Miz as expected. The OOD soon zone in on Anderson and begin beating on him and trying to get him over the ropes, The Company move in on Savage and do the same in the far corner. Savage however is able to fight them off and send them back but MVP comes back, kicking Randy in the gut and whipping him towards the others. Meanwhile Anderson has fought back and gets thrown back into the centre of the ring by Gabriel. This allows for Mankind to intercept and brawl backwards and forwards with Savage until Gabriel comes in and makes it two on one, and Anderson in stomped on by the company completing the switch. This continues until Gabriel notices the Company taunting and lowers down, charging forward and taking both MVP and Miz’s heads off with a double closeline. He then stands and turns, waiting for Savage to rise up and then bam! Nails him with a spear. He stands again and time zones in on Anderson, grabbing him and driving him down with a power slam.
Gabriel stands, snorting and raging and Mankind gleefully watches and stalks from behind him, moving in and grabbing the rising MVP and locking in the mandible claw, squealing as he drops him down to the mat. Gabriel now moves in for the Elimination, grabbing Savage and lifting him up in the Military Press, walking over towards the ropes as the crowd stands shouting and yelling for Savage to get out of it and in anticipation of the elimination. At the last second Savage is able to drop down behind and nail Gabriel with a dropkick to the back that sends him into the ropes. He then stands and moves in, grabbing and pushing, trying defiantly to push Gabriel over the top rope. Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Miz comes in and breaks up the claw, grabbing Mankind from the behind and nailing him with a reverse DDT. He follows that up by standing and pulling the spluttering MVP to his feet, talking to him and trying to get him together and then suddenly grabs him and tosses him over the top rope and eliminating him.
“What?!” JR Yells as the crowd stand and let out a loud reaction of shock as one.
“Miz! What are you doing!” Lawler adds.
Sherri and Cornette are the most shocked of all moving in around the downed MVP and yelling up at Miz who merely gives them a shrug back that says “had to! Sorry.” He then turns but hasn’t noticed Mankind who grabs him in the claw, Miz manages to fight out of it with a kick to the gut but then in charges ally Gabriel, Mankind stepping back as Gabriel charges in for the spear but is then side stepped by the Miz who sends him flying towards the ropes and nearly goes over the top with the momentum. Miz runs in at once to take advantage and finish the job, Mankind runs in to try and stop him with is intercepted by a closeline from Anderson who then stands, turns and goes to help Miz with Gabriel who is tearing on the ropes. Now Savage in back up and despite his differences also moves in and now three men are pushing at Gabriel who is giving it his all to hold on but the triad prove to be too much as finally he gives way and falls down over the top rope to the floor and is eliminated to a good pop from the crowd. Gabriel stands and is furious, slamming the ring and apron and then wham! Nailing an incoming ref, and another and then with one final cry of rage, storms to the back.
Back in the ring now and the threesome who did the deed have now turned on each other, fists and kicks flying from each, Savage looking to get the upper hand nailing Miz with a chop and then turning and giving the same to Anderson. He keeps the upper hand for a moment, moving between the two and whaling on them until from behind comes Mankind, taking him down, stomping on him and then picking him up and setting him up for the double arm DDT but At the last second Savage manages to fight out of it and slam into Mankind with furious chops followed by an elbow, followed by an atomic drop and then a scoop slam. He then grabs Mankind up and after one final kick throws him hard over the top rope. Foley however lands feet first on the apron, but Savage hits the dropkick to send him flying off to the floor below eliminating the senior and last OOD member in the match to great surprise from the commentators and capacity crowd.
We are now down to three as behind Savage Anderson and Miz have started to go at it when he comes in and starts trading blows with both. That last until Anderson and Miz seem to from the temporary alliance, launching forward and slamming into Savage with the two on one double team to loud boos. The two look over to each other over the downed Savage and gives a nod, Anderson moving in and looking in a cobra clutch, pulling on it and pulling Savage straight as Miz comes in and nails Savage in the open gut with a hard kicks. We cut to Elizabeth at ringside who covers her mouth and reacts with distress as the two continue the vicious beating on her man. As Anderson lets him go Miz moves in and nails Savage down with a hard overhand shot. He then steps back and looks out at the crowd and to Anderson as they pose to boos. In comes Anderson again and nail Savage with the Green Bay Plunge and then picks him up and drags him towards the ropes going to eliminate him. Savage still has some life in him, fighting back and now the two rivals begin struggling with each other on the ropes when from out of nowhere comes the Miz grabbing both legs and dumping them both out over the top rope and eliminating them.
The bell rings and the crowd boos heavily as Miz’s face becomes a wide grin, giving a gesture of wiping his hands and turning, getting his hand raised to louder boos. He celebrations do not last long though as from behind comes MVP, grabbing him and pulling him around to yell in his face about the elimination. Sherri and Cornette run in a yell at both, trying to calm them down and get an answer from the Miz. All four in a frenzy of overlapping voices and gestures.
“Well there seems to be trouble in the land of the Company but be that as it may the Miz has won this match, he will face the winner of our main event at Survivor Series and that could very well be another Company member Bryan Danielson is he retains” JR calls.
“What does that and this mean for the company? Is Miz gone?!” Asks Gorilla.
“No! No! The Company are stronger than this! Guys be stronger than this!” Responds a frantic Lawler.
“Well we will have to wait and see. This is situation right here” finishes JR as the Company arguing are the last images we see before fading to a video package.
When we return we are in the ring with Howard Finkle for our next match.
X Division Championship
“The following contest is set for one fall and is for the X Division Championship!” Finkle announces.
Amazing Red is out first to a nice reaction for the respectful crowd. The Darkside of Hayabusa is next, showing his now standard dark look and mannerisms as he enters the ring.
Hayabusa sticks out his tongue, covered in black dye and grows like an animal sadistically towards the taken aback but determined red as the belt is raised and handed to the time keeper. The bell rings and we are them underway as both men move out of the their corners and begin to scout each other, Red circling the ring and Darkside of Hayabusa following, stalking with an evil salivating expression, waiting for his apparent prey to make a move.
The two continued to circle each other and then launch forward and lock up, Hayabusa taking advantage straight the way and locking in a side headlock. Red is able to battle out of it but Hayabusa spins around and is able to take Red face first down to the mat with a drop toe hold and then mount him behind and locks in a rear chin lock on the mat. The referee gets in the face of face asking if he wants to give up but Red quickly fights out and onto his feet, Hayabusa however keeps the hold applied on the head until Amazing Red is able to spin out and turn it into an overhand wrist lock with both men on their feet now. He is able to power Hayabusa down onto the mat but The Dark Phoenix quickly kips up onto his feet and takes Red over with an arm drag. Both men stand facing each other and come in again locking up with hands now, trying to feel each other out but then Red drops back and rolls backwards onto his feet, coming in and grabbing Hayabusa in an double wrist lock takedown, dropping him down to the mat but Hayabusa gets straight back onto his feet and grabs Red’s other arm, twisting in and going under to lock in a hold on the arm of his own, taking him over with the arm and keeping hold but red pulls him in, taking him over his back and down into a roll up for a quick 1 count. Hayabusa kicks back out of it onto his feet and locks in a rear face lock at once taking the advantage back. But Red drops down on the mat and twists out of it using Hayabusa’s arm to get to his feet with a lock on Hayabusa’s arm again now, both Hayabusa stands and rolls forward in an Owen Hart like roll over onto his feet and then grabbing the other arm and quickly taking Red down with a deep arm drag now and now both men break and stand again facing each other as the crowd erupt in applause. Both men stand and begin feeling for each other again, taking a quick break and then coming in again and lock up, Red grabbing the arm and pushing Hayabusa back into the ropes, going to whip him off them but Hayabusa keeps hold, refusing to let go. Red kicks him in the gut and still no give, a shot to the head, no give, a chop to chest and still he pulls and finally Hayabusa lets go allowing Red to whip him across the ring but as Hayabusa runs in he ducks down under the arm, and again into the ropes and again a duck, and again into the ropes building up speed as he avoids Red’s attacks and then sliding through the legs, standing behind Red but Red turns and grabs him again whipping him into the ropes again and going for aback body drop but Hayabusa flies over him and down onto his feet behind him again, this time no coming in with a straight kick to the shins that sounds like a gunshot. And another to the other shin, Red backing off, holding his legs from the assault but Hayabusa’s legs go higher now with a straight kick to the left side torso and then a roundhouse to the head finally takes Red down off his feet. Hayabusa backs off and turns towards the crowd, roaring at them and showing his tongue again before turning and moving back in on Red.
“Wow, what a change has come over Hayabusa this past few months since being transformed, or brainwashed, take your pick, at the hands of the Phenom” JR Comments.
Red now stands and the two combatants go for one another again. Red now launches forward going for Hayabusa’s legs but he is able to shuffle out of way. He stands and Hayabusa comes in with another roundhouse kick to the chest that sends Red reeling back, holding his chest in pain. But as he raising up Hayabusa jumps and spins nailing Red with a jumping roundhouse kick to the head that takes the challenger down again. This time Red knows he is in trouble and bolts under the bottom rope to the outside but before he can barely stand Hayabusa is running for the opposite ropes, running the length of the ring and flying over the top rope and down onto Red with a springboard senton to the floor. The crowd stands and react as own, roaring loudly for the move as both men lay at ringside. Hayabusa now stands, going under the ring and taking advantage as last month of the new stipulations of the division by getting himself a chair. He turns around with it but bam! Red is there and sends it flying back into his face with a standing dropkick. The crowd pop as Hayabusa stumbles back into the ring apron.
Red takes a moment before sliding into the ring and running into the far ropes himself now, running the ring and diving over the top rope down into Hayabusa onto his shoulders and turning it into a Hurricanrana that sends Hayabusa flying headfirst into the guard rail. The crowd react huge on that one, standing in applause for red as his rises, holding himself. Red now rolls back into the ring as finally the Dark Phoenix rises and comes in but Red is there to meet him, grabbing him by the head and pulling him into the ring, lifting him up and backing him into the ropes, shooting him off and then taking him down with a spinning heel kick followed by a quick cover for 2. Red now picks Hayabusa up again by the head and sends him flying out of the ring to the floor, following him out and then grabbing himself another chair, coming in with it as the crowd are rowdy now, setting it up, picking Hayabusa up and hitting him so that he sits back on the chair and then sliding into the ring. The audience are now buzzing with wonder and anticipation at what Red is planning here, he runs across the ring again and dives through the ropes with a cross body down onto the seated Hayabusa, collapsing it as they both fall backwards onto the floor. Red now stands and goes into the ring, getting cheers as he posses. Hayabusa slowly raising up on the outside and mounts the apron, red coming in but Hayabusa reacts this time jumping up onto the top rope and spring boarding with a RVD like kick to the chest that sends red falling back. He then follows that up by whipping Red into the ropes and as he comes in jumping up onto his shoulders and turning it into a victory roll for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa does not let up as he stands, back towards Red and then jumps nailing a standing moonsault into another cover for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa goes to pick Red up but Red fires back with stiff right hands and then backs him into the corner, grabbing the arm and whipping Hayabusa across the ring but as Hayabusa reaches the corner he jumps up to the top rope and moonsaults backwards over Red as he runs in. Red turns as he lands and waists a moment before launching forward with a closeline but Hayabusa ducks underneath the arm and as Red turns nails him with a dropkick. That sends Red back, falling out of the ring again and now Hayabusa comes straight in, vaulting over the top but Red sees him and moves out the way but Hayabusa sees this and lands feet first on the ring apron, waiting for Red to raise his head up and then kicking him hard in the teeth to a loud “oh!” From the crowd. That sends Red stumbling back to the guardrail. Hayabusa wastes no time, jumping up onto the top rope and hitting an assai springboard Moonsault to the floor.
After a moment of rest both men stand again, Hayabusa with advantage as he nails Red but Red fights back and two begin trading furious shots that turn into furious backhand chops going back and forth until Red kicks Hayabusa in the gut and drives his head into the guard wall. He then grabs one of the chairs and cracks it hard off the back of Hayabusa as he pulls himself up on the guard wall. Red then pushes him over the wall and places the chair over him, Sandwiching him between the chair and the wall and then hit the apron as the crowd buzz. Red then enters the ring, grabs the top rope, takes a breath and then jumps up off the top rope down onto Hayabusa with a springboard leg drop onto the chair smashing him between the chair and wall!
“Holy Shit! Holy Shit!” Chants begin to sound as Hayabusa rolls around on the mats holding his ribs in agony. Red stands finally after a few moments and wastes no time in rolling him into the ring and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Hayabusa just kicks out.
“Ok now I am starting to belief in the power of the Undertaker at this point! How the hell did he kick out?” Yells Lawler in disbelief.
“I don’t know about that King I just thing Hayabusa is one yell of a tenuous, resistant athlete who is pushing all the bounders of endurance here! I belief is Hayabusa! In his will to retain his title!” Responds JR.
Red now drags Hayabusa towards the ropes and jumps up onto them and down with a springboard moonsault, but at the last second Hayabusa manages to get his knees up leaving Red to crash hard rib first into them and roll away in pain.
Hayabusa finally stands, coming in and grabbing Red, dropping him down with the spinning Falcon Arrow for 1…2…3!
The crowd reacts with applause and cheers as Hayabusa falls back holding himself and his music is played. The red getting the belt to give to him as Finkle announces it.
“Your winner and STILL the X Division Champion! The Darkside of Hayabusa!”
Hayabusa is in heavy pain but finally is able to stand and get his hands raised to applause for the audience. He then weakly pulls a face at them one more time before dropping out of the ring and leaving, hurt as he may be, as he came in. Champion.
We are now backstage with Mean Gene Okerlund in the Interview Area.
“Ladies and Gentleman, my guests at this time; The managers and co founder of the Company James E Cornette and the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson!”
The camera zooms out to show both men to loud boos from the live crowd. Cornette is looking torn and conflicted as he mulls over something, nervously holding his tennis racket with both hands. Danielson looks determined, fired up but focused as he looks out to the reaction.
“Jim I will go to you tonight. Already in our first match were saw things break down for your faction, things have not been going as well as late either. Many say it’s the stress of the Order of Darkness and challengers like Shawn Michaels that is finally cracking you. We also now know that if this man Bryan Danielson wins his match tonight he will match fellow company member the Miz at Survivor Series. Your comments?”
“Gene I don’t want or need to indulge your ridicules one sided, small minded questions. You see the Company will never divide unless it is to conquer! We are as strong as ever and little things like tonight’s little disagreement between employees and employee on employee title matches will not break that bond! Are we cracking under stress?” He mocks “don’t make me laugh and let’s get real because that’s the past and the future but I want to talk about the present. Let us come to tonight where the biggest name in the industry today, the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson finally has a chance to once and for all put down his has been jealous former teacher. Tonight he has a chance with no interference and no random elements to beat HBK into a bloody pulp in that glass monstrosity! Imagine the pain as he cracks Michael’s head into those glass planes and cracks it with his head! That is what you are going to see. And in the process he will finally silence all the doubters, all the critics who say he is a flash in the pan paper champion, who say he can’t win fair and square. Well you down get more fair and square than a straight fight in a animal like enclosure to decide who really is the better man, teacher or student, old guard or new guard. To decide who is the Champion of the World!” Cornette calms himself as he backs off and straightens his tie.
Okerlund backs the mic away and raises it to the mouth of Bryan Danielson.
“I have only one thing to say because tonight is not about words, it’s about actions. Shawn you and I have had this unending series where it apparently decided nothing. Well tonight Shawn we decide it all between you and me by destroying each other in that glass prison. Hope you have your insurance paid up Shawn because tonight it’s not about winning, it’s about making sure that Shawn Michaels never wrestles or is the same again when the night done!”
With that both men walk off fame leaving Okerlund looking on a breathing out hard with a shake of his head.
Women’s Championship Three Way Dance
Kong is first to make her way out looking fierce and ready to kill someone to a good pop. Next is Kendra who walks into the ring with determination as well, getting straight into the ring and straight into the face of Kong. The two go nose to nose, snarling and staring each other down as Daffney’s music hits. Daffney makes her way out timidly, slowly and reluctantly making her way down the aisle and slowly into the ring. The two behemoths slowly turn their heads towards her and the women goes far more pale than even her makeup as the referee takes the title from her hand, she of course does not look or notice. The ref gives the belt to the timekeeper after holding it up and then calls for the bell. The two big women at once turn their heads back to back each other and one again lock eyes.
The crowd now comes alive erupting in chants of “fight! Fight! Fight!” As the two women breathe heavily staring holes into each other, real back and then explode into each other with trading blows, the crowd exploding on the first and getting louder and louder as each one is nailed back and forth it goes over and over with punches, each women standing their ground. That is until Kendra bring up her leg and nails Kong in the gut with a kick, reeling back in wait to take advantage but Kong merely stands there shaking her head with a smile, the crowd cheering.
“My God I think Kendra may have finally met her match!” JR calls.
“I never thought I would hear those words” Monsoon replies.
Kong launches forward with a closeline but Kendra only stumbles back for the hard stuff shot to the chest, standing her ground equally as another part of the audience cheer both all react. Kong again goes for the closeline but again she stands her ground, this time Kendra goes for a big boot but Kong takes advantage of the unstable footing, grabbing her underneath and going to lift her for a scoop slam but Kendra slams into her back with a clubbing blow that sends Kong off.
“Neither women is giving an inch here” JR comments “and Daffney is just standing there and hoping Kong is too busy to notice her and hoping Kendra’s loyalties are solid.”
Kendra now comes in going for a vice grip on the head of Kong but she fights the hands off and nails Kendra with a hard shot to the head and then charges forward with a running head but to the torso which finally keels Kendra over. Kong then stands and grabs Kendra’s head, bringing up her own and slamming into her with a hard heat but, and another, and another finally on the third Kendra falls down to the mat. Kong follows that up with a leg drop which shakes the ring. She then stands and slowly turns towards Daffney. Daffney’s face is that of pure terror as she holds out her hands and begs, pleads for Kong to leave her only. The monster of a women here none of it and moves in on her with a smile on her face, a frown and licking her lips at her like a meal.
The crowd erupt in chants of “Break her neck! Break her neck!” To which Lawler flabbergasts “What?!” In response “these people are sick JR.” “Well it is Chicago. But I fear they may be right, it does not look good at all for the Undertaker’s favorite right hand vixen.”
Kong comes in now going for the kill when from behind comes Kendra, cutting her off and turning her around to loud boos. Kendra brings her elbow up now and elbows Kong in the face and then as she reels, runs for the ropes and in but Kong catches her and takes her over and down with a capture power slam. Kong then stands and runs for the ropes, coming off and down! With a big splash on Kendra for 1…2…NO! Kendra just kicks out!
Kong seems frustrated now for the first time as she stands but them as Kendra rolls away in pain turns back to Daffney. This time she waist no times going in, Daffney tries to run for the ring but as she gets through the ropes Kong grabs her by the hair and pulls her in with a face like the thunder, the crowd getting louder and louder as she does. She then nail the women in the gut and sets her up and drops her down with the Implant Buster followed by a quick determined cover for 1…2…3! The crowd roar as Kong backs off and stands with a smile.
As Daffney is announced as Eliminated Kong stands in satisfaction, looking down at the results of her carnage but from behind comes Kendra! Hooking her with both arms, Kong tries her best to fight her off but she was taken by surprise and Kendra finally manages to lock in the sleeper hold to the crowds shock and jeering disappointment. Kong struggles all she can in the hold that has put every women down it has been applied to without fail for over a year. The crowd shouts for Kong to get out of it and oh how she tries but finally begins to fade. Now Kendra drops back, now grape-veining the legs and hooking it in deep. Nodding her head now as Kong seems lifeless after being in the hold for over a minute. Now finally the referee comes in after two and begins to raise Kong’s hand. Once….Twice…Three Times.
The crowd boos loudly as the bell rings and finally Kendra lets Kong go, pushing her off to the mat.
“Your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Kendra!” Thunderous boos still.
Kendra now stands and gets her hand raised in triumph, getting the belt placed across her waist as she stands over Kong in satisfaction. Finally she reaches down and scoops the lifeless Daffney off the mat, puts her over her shoulder and carries her to the back. As she does Kong begins to come too in the ring and is visibly livid.
“Well Kendra is your new Champion. The title stays within the Order. But after the fashion in which is happened tonight I would have to say this rivalry is far, far from over” comments JR as we fade out.
Intercontinental Championship
Charles is out first to boos with Wade Barret flanking him. Then they explode for Liger who is led to the ring by the animated, flag waving American Dream Dusty Rhodes!
The two start off by walking towards each other, Liger ready to lock up, Ecktor swaggering over with his usual bravado and then reaching up and slapping liger across the face with a smirk. Liger takes umbrage to this, launching hard forward to lock up and pushing Ecktor with force to the mat. Ecktor rolls through and onto his feet, standing and coming in and now liger takes him over with a headlock takedown. He locks it for a few moments, wrenching it as Charles powers to his feet and then backs him off and shoots him off the ropes across the ring grabbing him coming in with a belly to belly but Liger fights out and hits the ropes again running in with a charge which Ecktor turns into a backdrop but Liger lands on his feet and hits the ropes again, now Ecktor goes for a clubbed brass hammer blow but Liger slides through on his back under the fists, kips up onto his feet and grabs Charles from behind in a rear wait lock but Charles reverses that into a waist lock of his own, pushing Liger towards the ropes and dropping back but Liger keeps hold leaving him to rolls back and come in with a blow again and this time nailing it. He then covers for a quick 1 count. Charles pulls Liger up by the arm and backs him into the ropes, shoots him off across the ring again and this time catching him for a hip toss but Liger keeps his ground and goes for a forearm, however Charles ducks underneath and turns it into grabbing Liger from behind in a waist lock and taking him over and down with a German but Liger rolls through turning into in a leg pinning roll up, but Charles rolls through that and turns it into one of his own but Liger kicks him off sending him into the ropes and catching him coming in for the monkey flip but Charles reverses that slamming Liger down hard onto the mat and covering for 1. Liger now stands and runs for the ropes, Ecktor catching him for the hip toss again but Liger quickly reverses it and takes Charles over with one of his own. Now Ecktor bolts from the ring under the bottom rope for the rest but Liger wastes no time running for the ropes, running the ring and going for a plancha, but as Ecktor reacts to it he feints it into a handspring and then uses the top rope to catapult over but Ecktor now runs away towards the corner, Liger however sees this and lands on the ring apron on his feet. He waits for Ecktor to moves away from the ring post and look up just as Liger runs the ring apron and dives down onto Ecktor with a rolling senton to a loud pop from the pro liger crowd, exploding into applause. Ecktor now lays on the mat as Liger rolls into the ring and poses for the cameras and crowd to a loud cheer and rallying cries for the American Dream at ringside, his biggest fan obviously.
He waits then, now taunting for Ecktor to get back into the ring and as he does runs for the ropes again but as he comes in Ecktor drops down and nails Nail in the knee with a chop block. Liger rolls away crying in pain and holding his leg as Ecktor regains his bearings and stands. As he does Liger has now rolled out under the bottom rope on the ring apron. He then leaps over, grabs Liger’s foot and slams it hard into the steel edges of the ring apron to loud boos and cries of pain from Liger. Ecktor gives a lopsided cocky smile to the crowd and then enters the ring after Liger to continue his work. Liger now stands; using the top rope to pull himself up but in comes the merciless Ecktor who kicks at the back of the injured leg three times, taking the wheel out from under Liger as he tries to get away. We now see a shot of Dusty at ringside holding his head and shouting encouragement for his man to get back into it. Charles now grabs the leg, dragging Liger with it and then drives his knee down into it, and again, reveling in the pain it brings. He then turns him over and locks Jushin in the one legged Boston grab on the injured leg. Liger writhes in pain, holding his head and reaching for the ropes in agony, looking like it might be over already. Barret is now before him on the outside, shouting through the ropes for Liger to tap. Liger however is able to uses all his strength to turn over and kick Charles off, but he come straight back in pulling him with the leg again, jolting it and then dropping down and driving his elbow right to the knee joint. He then grabs the leg, steps over, drops down and locks in the figure four leg lock. Liger again is in real trouble as he calls out in pain, trying to hold on as Dusty and fans scream to him to do so, feeling behind him for the ropes he hopes are there but aren’t. Charles then drops back, slapping the mat with his arms is he continues to pull and wrench in the hold on the knee and leg. Liger is shaking his head furiously but is occasionally bringing his hand up to hold his head, but in doing so falls down to the mat for 1…2…No he is able to get back onto his elbows. Finally after nearly two minutes of bearing the hold he falls back and it able to grab the ropes to the crowds and Dusty’s relief but Ecktor and Wade’s frustration. After getting a 4 count Charles finally break, slamming the mat with his hands as he stands and gets to his feet to come in again on the wounded Liger. He now has a different plan grabbing Liger and lifting him up for belly to belly and over but dropping him deliberately hard point blank on his head. The onlooker’s wince at the move’s impact as does the commentators in their words. As a relay is shown Ecktor turns Liger over and drives an elbow into the back of his neck. He then backs into the ropes and does a Ric Flair like knee drop right into the back of Liger’s head right onto his spine.
“I think he has visions of his Royal Clutch here, his modified version of the camel clutch that has made him undefeated so far here in the WWF” JR calls.
He delivers several more shots to the back of the head and neck before going back to stomping at the legs, systematically breaking down and destroying Liger piece by piece. But then from out of nowhere Liger comes to life catching him and rolling him up for 1..2…NO!
Liger stumbles and limps to a standing position as Ecktor regains his bearings and rolls up coming in and getting nailed with a hard palm strike. Liger holds his neck and takes the weight off his injured leg at once following the sudden movement but then defiantly does it again and enjoys the same results from his own injuries sustained. He then nails Ecktor with a dropkick but cries out and holds his leg as he falls to the mat.
“That injured leg and head may be his downfall here. He may be too injured to sustain any more offense or continue” Gorilla says.
Liger ignore it, standing, hitting his leg in anger and hold the back of his neck only for a moment before catching Charles as he runs in with a tilt a whirl backbreaker down onto his good knee and covers for 1…2…NO!
He then picks Ecktor up and places him between his legs as the crowd comes alive, signals for it and then hoists Ecktor up for the Liger bomb but as he does his injured leg gives way from the weight and he falls back in pain with Ecktor landing on him for a cover of 1…2…NO! Ecktor rolls off and Liger rolls away in pain.
“What did I say? He couldn’t do the Liger bomb! His leg gave way!” Calls Monsoon.
Charles sees this and takes advantage, coming in a working the leg again before lifting him up and clobbering him in the back with a hard shot to neck, and several more for good measure followed by a double under hook suplex and a cover for 1…2…NO! Liger kicks out again.
Ecktor now stands in anger jumps in and beating on Liger’s head again, turning him over and going for the royal clutch but Liger fights out of it and manages to get back on his feet and as Ecktor turns he grabs him, goes behind and lifts him up and down with CTB for 1..2..3!
The crowd roars in approval as the bell rings and Liger’s music plays.
“Here is your winner and still World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion Jushin “Thunder” Liger!”
Dusty helps Liger to his feet, taking the weight off the injured leg as the referee then hands him the belt. Liger does his best to limp to standing on his own and hold the belt up to the cheering jubilant crowd with nods of respect and then is helped to the back by the ref and Dusty.
“He has taken on just about the entire company folks and he has captured and twice kept the prestigious Intercontinental Championship!” JR calls as the segment fades to a commercial for Survivor Series.
Tag Team Championship
The Hart Dynasty make their way out first, they looked focused and really to kill. The Brood is next, looking sadistic, evil and pissed.
The Brood scales the ring apron; talk and finally Christian and DH smith decide to start us off. Both teams stare wholes into each other, both looked ready to fire rage into each other, the Hart Dynasty looking like they want to kill Edge and Christian for their actions and their family’s betrayal.
Christian grins sadistically as he circling the ring, moving with Smith and waiting for the anger to build up and him to make the first move. Finally DH reaches for the arm and misses the first time then steps forward and the two lock up, struggling furiously against each other and trying to get the upper hand in the starting hold. Finally as they move around the ring in it Christian is able to send DH Smith into the corner now and break, forcing his head back in the turnbuckle with one hand and then reeling back and swinging with the other but DH is able to duck underneath and use the momentum to get behind and push Christian into the corner now. He backs off as Christian runs out of the corner and bam! Takes him down coming in with a hard right hand that has the fury of the betrayed Hart’s behind it. Christian gets back up and launches in with anger now again and the two begin trading blows back and forth furiously until Christian gets in a kick to the gut and then whips Smith intro the corner. Following him in and beginning to hammer into him with right hands to the ribs and head in the corner, making the ref start to count and reaching 4 before he lets him out. He then grabs the arm and whips DH across the ring into the opposite corner and running in after him but as Smith reaches it he grabs the top turnbuckle and lifts up so that Christian passes in under him into the corner himself, landing back on his feet and then and then catching the incoming Christian with a hard big boot and covering for 2.
The two get back up and DH goes on the attack but Christian fights back with right hands and then a dropkick, forcing him back into his and Edge’s corner and then nailing him there with a shoulder thrust, and another and then tagging Edge in. Edge now comes in and follows DH as he tries to reel back and hammers on him, forcing him into the other corner now and whaling on him with hard right hands, he then Irish whips DH across the ring but this time smith buts on the breaks and turns waiting for Edge to run in and then catching him and dropping him down with the front falling slam for 1..2..NO! DH keeps advantage, grabbing the arm and pulling Edge to his feet, wrenching on the arm and going under it three times for extra tort. He then continues to pull at the arm, forcing Edge back onto his knees now and dragging him back towards his corner and tagging in Tyson Kid. Handing Edge to him and leaving the ring. He nails on Edge with right hands and then follows it up with a straight side kick to the chest, backing him into the ropes and then backing him into them and shooting him off, Edge is able to reverse it now and send Tyson into the ropes, waiting on him coming in but gets smacked hard incoming by a ensurguri, followed by a spinning leg drop for a quick 1 count cover. He then grabs Edge by the head and picks him up but Edge fights him off and smashes him in face with a hard punch that takes Tyson down. He then backs off into his corner again and tags Christian back in as Kid is getting up.
Christian comes in and grabs Tyson by the head, swinging for the punch and missing as Tyson ducks underneath and then slams into him with a shot of his own, and another, and another that now takes Christian down and reeling.
“Wow the Hart’s really taking it to the Brood. I guess that’s what the anger, desire and hatred for revenge will do for you. What it will do to motivate you” says Ross.
Tyson comes in on Christian rising in the corner and hammers on him again and then grabs his head and slams it hard face first into the turnbuckle pad. And again, and again, again, over and over he slams his head on the top buckle, the crowd counting along with each whiplashing impact until finally the ref pushes Tyson back and forces him to stop in a threat of DQ. He then grabs Christian by the arm and whips him into the ropes again, catching him on the rebound and sending him over with a hurricanrana into a cover for 1…2…NO!
Tyson backs off and comes in the rising Christian who is now on his knees and catches Kid coming in with a hard shot to gut to fight back into it, and then another for good measure as Tyson keels over holding his belly and then Christian reaches up and rakes the eye. That gets boos from the crowd, a warning by the referee and sends Tyson turning away in wincing pain. Christian stands and works over Tyson again before grabbing him and taking him to the corner to tag Edge back in. He then holds Tyson in a rear chin lock exposing the torso for Edge to slam into with a hard kick. Christian heads outside as Edge takes over the beating taking Tyson down with two hard rights. DH is on the apron on now loudly and desperately calling for the tag. Edge now hammers into him more and then backs him into the corner looking to go for the double team again but now as the crowd pop Tyson fires back with a right hand of his own, that gets a shot back in turn from Edge, another shot from Tyson, another from Edge. The furious heated blows going back and forth between the two hated rivals. Tyson then even turns and nails the attacking Christian off the apron with a shot then turns back to hammer into Edge again, firing out of the corner as the crowd come alive for the lightweight in pink and black. He finally manages to get Edge onto the ropes and whips him off of them; Edge is able to reverse it though and sends Tyson into the ropes but wham in comes Tyson with a spinning heel kick taking Edge down to a good cheer from the fans. Tyson now mounts Edge and begins hammering into him over and over with hard right hands before being forced get off by the referee.
“You can feel the hatred in Tyson’s eyes here” JR calls.
Now he picks Edge back up and sends him into the ropes now and this time drops his head down for a back body drop and gets kicked in the mouth with a straight kick that sends him falling back to the mat, holding his jaw in pain. Edge now comes in and tags Christian back in and the later goes back to work, stomping away on Kid, grabbing him up and hooking him for a suplex but Tyson rolls back hooking the leg and turning it into an inside cradle for 1…2…NO!
Both men stand again and now Tyson takes Christian over with a side headlock take over into a cover for 2 as Christian is able to get his shoulder up but is still in the headlock. Christian is then able to power to his feet still in the headlock but then lifts Tyson up for a back body down but Tyson reverses that as he drops forwards into another side headlock take over with gets applause for the crowd. Christian is able again to get to his feet and back Tyson into the ropes, shoots him off across the ring and goes to take him over with an arm drag but Tyson puts on the break and turns it into a hip toss taking him over and down. He then moves in and grabs the side headlock again but this time Christian powers up, grabs Tyson’s head with both hands and pushes it hard down into the mat to break it up. He then runs in for the rising Tyson and goes for a dropkick but Tyson grabs him and takes him over with both legs, looking for the sharpshooter as the crowd come alive but Christian kicks him off and sends him flying through the ropes to mats ringside. Christian then stands, distracting the referee as Edge turns on the ring apron, waits for Tyson to rise up and then flies off with the ring apron with a diving spear taking out Kid on the floor. Edge stands, whipping his hair back with a sadistic smile and then keeping his eye on the ref, mounts the apron again like nothing has happened as Christian pushes past to ref and goes to scoop Tyson off the mats. He does so and rolls him into the ring, stomping and beating on him before going for the cover for 1…2…NO! Christian I frustrated and tags in Edge who nails Tyson with a go behind reverse face buster and hooking the leg for 1…2…NO! Edge now stands and gets in another boot on Tyson and then wrenches the arm to pull him up and backing into the corner and tagging Christian back in. Christian comes in and goes behind Tyson hammering into his back with stomps and shots that takes Tyson back down in evident pain. He then whips Tyson to the corner and follows him in but Tyson moves at the last second but Christian counters that and goes behind to nail the reverse DDT. Christian then stands, looks out and heads to the top rope. Christian rises up as Tyson does in the ring, DH frantic and fresh on the apron, Christian gives a taunt and then flies off but at the last second Tyson jumps up and nails him with a dropkick out of midair. The crowd roars on that one as both men fall to the mat. Tyson rises and behind crawling towards his corner, as does Christian now, the crowd clapping and stomping, calling for Tyson to make it to the frantic Smith for the tag. Slowly each man crawls, Christian closer to his corner and makes it there first tagging in Edge. Tyson seems far away from DH’s hand as Edge comes in but then launches forward and hot tag to DH Smith!
DH comes in like a bat out of hell taking Edge down with a hard closeline, in comes Christian and gets taken down with a big boot, turns back to Edge and takes him down with a closeline again, turning to sees Christian rolling out of the ring and turns back to Edge, picking him up, nailing on him and then scooping him up. The crowd are frantic now as he backs into the corner and runs forward and down with his fathers finishing move the running power slam and a cover for 1…2…NO! Christian is back and just breaks it up.
Christian stomping on Smith, ignoring the ref but on the left side of out screens Tyson leaps up onto the ring apron and flies off and down with a mule dropkick sending Christian flying out of the ring. He then calls for DH and heads to the outside again. Smith nods in understanding and stands, scooping Edge up in the bear hug and lifting him up as Tyson vaults onto top rope, off and down for the modified Hart Attack! Smith goes for a cover for 1…2…NO! Christian is again back and breaks it up. Tyson sees this is he gets back up on the outside and runs in for Christian but Christian side steps him and sends him flying into the corner shoulder first with a hard splat. He then turns, grabs DH, turns him over and nails him with the Killswitch. He bolts of the ring leaving Edge after a few moments to crawl slowly forward and barely put an arm over DH for 1…2…NO! Tyson is back and breaks that up! The crowds are reacting to each move now, fooled by each false finish. Both legal men are out of it now as Christian gets back to his corner and yells for Edge to tag him. Finally Edge begins to crawl and launches forward tagging Christian in. Christian comes right in and goes to work hammering and stomping on the downed DH. He then picks him up and sets him up for another Killswitch but this time DH powers out pushing Christian forward into the ropes and right into Tyson on the apron who nails him coming in with a straight kick to the head that sends him stumbling back into the arms of Smith who grabs him and takes him over and down with the power slam for 1…2…NO! Edge is back and just breaks that up.
Tyson has had enough now and hits the right hammering into Edge and taking him to the outside. The two continue to brawl at ringside in front of the announce table as the referee yells at them to stop, but they hear none of it. The back and forth brawl continues until Edge is able to grab Tyson back the head and send him flying headfirst and over the steel ring steps, dislodging them and maybe doing the same to Tyson’s ribs.
Back in the ring both legal men stand at opposite sides of the ring, Christian coming to first and running forward but DH comes to life catching him coming in and taking him down with a spine buster and covering for 1…2…NO! Christian just kicks out.
The live crowd are worn out now from the near falls as DH stands, stumbling back, annoyed but determined and comes in on Christian to finish the job when bam! Out of nowhere comes Edge and nails him with a spear. The crowd boos as Edge stands now and grabs Christian’s arm placing it over DH and leaving the ring as the referee reluctantly counts 1…2…3!
The boo’s reign down as the music hits and Finkle announces it.
“Your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions! Edge and Christian, the Brood!”
Edge snatches both belts from the timekeeper and heads into the ring to give Christian his. Christian comes too as he raises up and realizes, a smile creeping across his lips in realization. With that the tag champions leave in victory, Tyson now into the ring and huddled over Smith, staring on at them in fierce anger and frustration.
We are now backstage with Okerlund again in the interview stage.
“Ladies and Gentleman the challenger for the WWF title, Shawn Michaels!”
The crowd comes alive with a loud cheer as HBK steps into fame beside him.
“Shawn, we heard from Cornette and Danielson earlier. I would like to ask your thoughts knowing that in moments you head into the first ever class cage to finish the rivalry one way or another with your former pupil Bryan Danielson.”
“Well Gene, I won’t mince words, I will say it plain and simple so everyone, even Bryan can understand. When this all started I had love and forgiveness in my heart for our champion and my former pupil. But now after looking into his eyes and seeing what he has become I know there is no way to end this that doesn’t involve violence, extreme violence. Violence so bad that a new match type had to be invented to fuel it and contain it! Bryan says he hates me? Well I don’t believe in hate but if there is a thing that is the closed to it I feel that from him. Tonight is not going to be pretty boys and girls. Put the kids to bed because I promise that when all is said and done Bryan Danielson will be a bloody scared mess and Shawn Michaels well be a justified, penance taken, blood soaked Champion! Its time to get my belt back!” With that HBK stares into the camera and walks off with a determined look in his eye as we are ready for the main event.
Main Event: Glass Cage Match
“Well folks” JR says as we cut back to the arena “as we prepare for the first ever Glass Cage match let us look back at how this all started. And while it officially began in June, we all have to agree the true seeds were sown at Backlash!”
With that we cut to a video package telling the story of this rivalry up until now. We then cut back to the arena and the cage.
The cage music begins to play and crowd cheer as the new class structure begins to lower from the air towards the ring. We now get our first good look at it. It is 2 feet tall, centimeter think panes of glass, metal structures beams at the top and sides. Ladder like rungs on each side of the corners and a metal platform on the top of each side. Finally it is fitted into place by the roadies and referees and we are ready.
HBK’s music hits and he is out fist to a thunderous ovation. Next the champion comes out to a mixed reaction but mostly loud jeers and boos.
Both men stare with unwavering glares at each other, staring holes into each other which is only broken for them to look around in awe and wonder at the structure around them. Cornette as it ringside outside the glass, the referee inside gets between the two and begins explaining the rules but neither man is listening, instead they are continue to scowl at each other, running through their minds what they are going to do to each other in this glass prison.
“This will not be pretty” JR comments as finally the bell is called for and rings.
Both men slowly step forward towards each other, taking their time as the crowd buzz and roar around them, flashes going off. Bryan turns his head and loosens his arms as he walks forward, HBK is unmoving and simply stares into him.
“Both of these men are about to be changed forever. The will never be the same after this” Lawler comments.
“This rivalry has gotten so personal” replies JR “these two simply hate each other and it’s hard to imagine that once upon a time HBK was teaching Bryan how to wrestle and breaking him into the business.”
“Just to clarify for everyone at home” adds Monsoon “there is no escape in this match; you can do anywhere you like. But the first man to score a in or submission in the ring will be the World Wrestling Federation Champion.”
Both men finally launch forward and lock up, jocking for position with each other, Struggling and turning back and forth into the ropes, they trade places on the ropes and in the corner back and forth as they struggles and turn with each other in the collar and elbow tie up. Finally Bryan is able to back Shawn into the corner and drops back, going for a kick to the chest but HBK ducks underneath and goes behind, knocking Bryan into the corner and working over him with hard right hands, Bryan then reverses it and sends Shawn into the corner and begins hammering into him with shots of his own. HBK then is able to fire back, fighting out of the corner and then grabs Bryan by the head and throws him back into the corner again and now slamming into the bare chest with a knife edge chop which gets a loud woo from the capacity crowd, and now another overhand right to the head of Bryan making him dazed in the corner again. That is until Bryan fires forward nailing HBK running in with a hard kick to the chest and the following it up with a right hand, grabbing the head and send him headfirst into the glass behind them. HBK’s face splats of the glass as he is the first to taste it. Bryan then catches him from behind on the rebound and nails a back suplex into a quick cover for 2. He then pick Shawn back off the mat and goes to send him into the cage again but HBK puts out his hand and blocks it this time, turning and nailing Bryan with a shot and then taking him over with a head scissor take down. HBK wastes no time, getting back onto his feet and grabbing Bryan, nailing him several times with knife edge chops to the chest and kicking him in the gut and dropping him down with a face buster. HBK stands and picks Bryan up, grabbing him by the head now and sending him into the glass walls with a slat and then catching him coming back and sending him in again, and again, again, over and over Bryan’s head hits the glass and soon the glass begins to crack, a webbing of cracks spreading over that side and looking to give way when Bryan manages to elbow HBK in the gut and break off the merciless assault. He then turns, regains his bearing and then slams into HBK with a running high knee. Bryan walks forward trying to gather himself and shake of the damage just caused and then turns back to Michaels, grabbing him and sending him into the corner hammering and away on him and then grabbing his head with both hand and viciously sending the back of it into metal structuring in the corner. That makes all winces as Shawn holds the back of his head. Bryan grabs him again and again sends him into the steel bars in the corner. He then catches Shawn and takes him over and down with double under hook breaker and a cover for 2.
Bryan backs off only for a moment but then grabs HBK’s head and sends him into the side of glass that is fractured. HBK impacts and then turns falling in a open position, holding the top rope when Bryan comes in and nails a big boot that smashes HBK’s head sickly between his boot and smashing hard in the glass behind him as finally we hear the sound of smashes. The crowd reacts with a loud “oh!” On that one. We can now see on the replay from the outside a piece of the glass where HBK’s head hit fly off and down onto the mats. When we return to live action the camera man zooms in filming through the small hole and cracks around it into the ring where the action continues. We can now see that Shawn is busted open somewhat on the back of his head from the blow as Bryan catches him and takes him down with a snap suplex and then locks in a dragon sleeper on the mat. Michaels struggles in the hold, trying to fight out of it and finally does beginning his leg up and kicking Bryan three times in the head and sending him back. HBK gets straight back to his feet waits for the walking away Bryan to turn and then launch forward with a flying forearm that sends Bryan flying back into the Glass behind him cracking that side now. Shawn is down for a moment but then raises up and grabs Bryan by the head and sending him face first back into the glass, it cracks more, and again, more cracking, and again, finally after blow after blow the glass give way and large chunk of it shatters and sprays around ringside. We get multiple relays of it and when we come back we can see that is has opened a large gash across the forehead of Danielson, the blood pouring like wine from it down his
NO MERCY 2010
Live from the Chicago All States Arena
-The show opens with a package hyping the class cage and the Bryan Danielson against HBK rivalry.
-We then open to the arena and fireworks explode to and from the glass themed set. The crowd’s roars and then we hear that familiar voice.
“Welcome everyone to No Mercy live in the windy city!” Yells JR “it is indeed going to be merciless tonight as two men who absolutely hate each other will step inside that structure we see there. The glass cage!”
All look and cheers as the cage music plays and we are shown for the first time the glass structure that hangs above the ring ready for the main event.
“Wow what a monstrous structure indeed. Tonight someone is going to get hurt” replies Gorilla Monsoon as we then cut back to the announce table, all men still looking up but them straightening and looking at the camera “I am of course Gorilla Monsoon along with Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler!”
“Yeah Monsoon and tonight as every night for the past month we know that no one can interfere in any match whatsoever or be suspended. And the only man who can says he won’t!” King exclaims.
“The only man seemingly powerful enough to counterman the boss is the Undertaker and tonight folks as much as I don’t trust that dark bastard as far as I could throw him lately there is no throne at the entranceway as there has been for the last few months. It seems that indeed the Undertaker may tonight keep his word” JR tells us “well with that said let’s get down to it and get on with our first match. Howard its over to you.”
No #1 Contenders Battle Royal
“Our opening contest” Finkle begins “is an over the top rope battle royal to decide the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship at Survivor Series!”
First to make his entrance is Randy Savage, followed by Gabriel and Mankind, Its then Anderson who does not come down but instead raises his arm to the air and grabs down his microphone.
“Well well well! We are here, it’s no mercy and the time is now. Thing is boys only one of us can win, step over the rest and make their way to Superstardom come Survivor Series by winning that big bird looking belt. I mean its funny isn’t it? That a belt that’s meant to symbolize the World Champion is so Americanized. Yeah funny that. Then again at least its not a shinny gaudy piece of ‘bling’ anymore” he gestures air quotes “but at least that’s better that’s better than a big slab of gold that has been worn by David Arquette and Vince Russo…and Sid Vicious…that was a bad one. But anyone back from tangent city…where was I? Oh yeah! You are looking at the next World Wrestling Federation Champion because you all suck and I’m MRRRRRRR Anderson….Anderson!” With that his music kicks in and he continues his walk to the ring. Savage can barely restrain himself as Anderson cockily walks into the ring and mocks him. MVP is next followed by fellow Company member The Miz who walks out with Jim Cornette, Sherri out previously with MVP, and a mic in hand.
“Oh God…really Anderson really? By the way Kenney 2005 called and they even said you suck! But you know who is still relevant? You know who hasn’t messed up every opportunity given by getting injured or lying about taking steroids! I mean god…look at me” he waves over himself as he walks down the ramp “I don’t need any enhancement, I’m naturally awesome in every way. And as for the rest of you…don’t get me started. Two of you claim to from an invading force who pledges alliance to a master who hasn’t even bothered to show up with you. Ones a steroid monster who looks like the Incredible Hulk, this other…is just fat overrated piece of trash who knows how to fall from a cage! And you…Randy Savage, the Macho Man! Oh Yeah! Me and Glass Bones over there don’t agree on many things but we do agree about you! You are nothing! A nostalgia act that needed to have stayed in the 80’s. Thing is you sucked then and you sucked now. One way or another the Company will win this match, We…I will face the champion at Survivor Series” MVP shoots a POed look at his ally “and yes we are fully aware it may…no it will be Bryan...”
Miz stops and glares as Randy Savage walks up and snatches the microphone from his hands. He then looks around the ring, mainly at Miz and Anderson. “Are we going to talk all night or are we going to fight?”
With that he launches forward and smashes the microphone of the head of Anderson and quickly then closelines Miz. The others all launch forward and clash into each other, arms and feet flying everywhere as the bell rings. Mankind and Gabriel are working together as are MVP and Miz as expected. The OOD soon zone in on Anderson and begin beating on him and trying to get him over the ropes, The Company move in on Savage and do the same in the far corner. Savage however is able to fight them off and send them back but MVP comes back, kicking Randy in the gut and whipping him towards the others. Meanwhile Anderson has fought back and gets thrown back into the centre of the ring by Gabriel. This allows for Mankind to intercept and brawl backwards and forwards with Savage until Gabriel comes in and makes it two on one, and Anderson in stomped on by the company completing the switch. This continues until Gabriel notices the Company taunting and lowers down, charging forward and taking both MVP and Miz’s heads off with a double closeline. He then stands and turns, waiting for Savage to rise up and then bam! Nails him with a spear. He stands again and time zones in on Anderson, grabbing him and driving him down with a power slam.
Gabriel stands, snorting and raging and Mankind gleefully watches and stalks from behind him, moving in and grabbing the rising MVP and locking in the mandible claw, squealing as he drops him down to the mat. Gabriel now moves in for the Elimination, grabbing Savage and lifting him up in the Military Press, walking over towards the ropes as the crowd stands shouting and yelling for Savage to get out of it and in anticipation of the elimination. At the last second Savage is able to drop down behind and nail Gabriel with a dropkick to the back that sends him into the ropes. He then stands and moves in, grabbing and pushing, trying defiantly to push Gabriel over the top rope. Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Miz comes in and breaks up the claw, grabbing Mankind from the behind and nailing him with a reverse DDT. He follows that up by standing and pulling the spluttering MVP to his feet, talking to him and trying to get him together and then suddenly grabs him and tosses him over the top rope and eliminating him.
“What?!” JR Yells as the crowd stand and let out a loud reaction of shock as one.
“Miz! What are you doing!” Lawler adds.
Sherri and Cornette are the most shocked of all moving in around the downed MVP and yelling up at Miz who merely gives them a shrug back that says “had to! Sorry.” He then turns but hasn’t noticed Mankind who grabs him in the claw, Miz manages to fight out of it with a kick to the gut but then in charges ally Gabriel, Mankind stepping back as Gabriel charges in for the spear but is then side stepped by the Miz who sends him flying towards the ropes and nearly goes over the top with the momentum. Miz runs in at once to take advantage and finish the job, Mankind runs in to try and stop him with is intercepted by a closeline from Anderson who then stands, turns and goes to help Miz with Gabriel who is tearing on the ropes. Now Savage in back up and despite his differences also moves in and now three men are pushing at Gabriel who is giving it his all to hold on but the triad prove to be too much as finally he gives way and falls down over the top rope to the floor and is eliminated to a good pop from the crowd. Gabriel stands and is furious, slamming the ring and apron and then wham! Nailing an incoming ref, and another and then with one final cry of rage, storms to the back.
Back in the ring now and the threesome who did the deed have now turned on each other, fists and kicks flying from each, Savage looking to get the upper hand nailing Miz with a chop and then turning and giving the same to Anderson. He keeps the upper hand for a moment, moving between the two and whaling on them until from behind comes Mankind, taking him down, stomping on him and then picking him up and setting him up for the double arm DDT but At the last second Savage manages to fight out of it and slam into Mankind with furious chops followed by an elbow, followed by an atomic drop and then a scoop slam. He then grabs Mankind up and after one final kick throws him hard over the top rope. Foley however lands feet first on the apron, but Savage hits the dropkick to send him flying off to the floor below eliminating the senior and last OOD member in the match to great surprise from the commentators and capacity crowd.
We are now down to three as behind Savage Anderson and Miz have started to go at it when he comes in and starts trading blows with both. That last until Anderson and Miz seem to from the temporary alliance, launching forward and slamming into Savage with the two on one double team to loud boos. The two look over to each other over the downed Savage and gives a nod, Anderson moving in and looking in a cobra clutch, pulling on it and pulling Savage straight as Miz comes in and nails Savage in the open gut with a hard kicks. We cut to Elizabeth at ringside who covers her mouth and reacts with distress as the two continue the vicious beating on her man. As Anderson lets him go Miz moves in and nails Savage down with a hard overhand shot. He then steps back and looks out at the crowd and to Anderson as they pose to boos. In comes Anderson again and nail Savage with the Green Bay Plunge and then picks him up and drags him towards the ropes going to eliminate him. Savage still has some life in him, fighting back and now the two rivals begin struggling with each other on the ropes when from out of nowhere comes the Miz grabbing both legs and dumping them both out over the top rope and eliminating them.
The bell rings and the crowd boos heavily as Miz’s face becomes a wide grin, giving a gesture of wiping his hands and turning, getting his hand raised to louder boos. He celebrations do not last long though as from behind comes MVP, grabbing him and pulling him around to yell in his face about the elimination. Sherri and Cornette run in a yell at both, trying to calm them down and get an answer from the Miz. All four in a frenzy of overlapping voices and gestures.
“Well there seems to be trouble in the land of the Company but be that as it may the Miz has won this match, he will face the winner of our main event at Survivor Series and that could very well be another Company member Bryan Danielson is he retains” JR calls.
“What does that and this mean for the company? Is Miz gone?!” Asks Gorilla.
“No! No! The Company are stronger than this! Guys be stronger than this!” Responds a frantic Lawler.
“Well we will have to wait and see. This is situation right here” finishes JR as the Company arguing are the last images we see before fading to a video package.
When we return we are in the ring with Howard Finkle for our next match.
X Division Championship
“The following contest is set for one fall and is for the X Division Championship!” Finkle announces.
Amazing Red is out first to a nice reaction for the respectful crowd. The Darkside of Hayabusa is next, showing his now standard dark look and mannerisms as he enters the ring.
Hayabusa sticks out his tongue, covered in black dye and grows like an animal sadistically towards the taken aback but determined red as the belt is raised and handed to the time keeper. The bell rings and we are them underway as both men move out of the their corners and begin to scout each other, Red circling the ring and Darkside of Hayabusa following, stalking with an evil salivating expression, waiting for his apparent prey to make a move.
The two continued to circle each other and then launch forward and lock up, Hayabusa taking advantage straight the way and locking in a side headlock. Red is able to battle out of it but Hayabusa spins around and is able to take Red face first down to the mat with a drop toe hold and then mount him behind and locks in a rear chin lock on the mat. The referee gets in the face of face asking if he wants to give up but Red quickly fights out and onto his feet, Hayabusa however keeps the hold applied on the head until Amazing Red is able to spin out and turn it into an overhand wrist lock with both men on their feet now. He is able to power Hayabusa down onto the mat but The Dark Phoenix quickly kips up onto his feet and takes Red over with an arm drag. Both men stand facing each other and come in again locking up with hands now, trying to feel each other out but then Red drops back and rolls backwards onto his feet, coming in and grabbing Hayabusa in an double wrist lock takedown, dropping him down to the mat but Hayabusa gets straight back onto his feet and grabs Red’s other arm, twisting in and going under to lock in a hold on the arm of his own, taking him over with the arm and keeping hold but red pulls him in, taking him over his back and down into a roll up for a quick 1 count. Hayabusa kicks back out of it onto his feet and locks in a rear face lock at once taking the advantage back. But Red drops down on the mat and twists out of it using Hayabusa’s arm to get to his feet with a lock on Hayabusa’s arm again now, both Hayabusa stands and rolls forward in an Owen Hart like roll over onto his feet and then grabbing the other arm and quickly taking Red down with a deep arm drag now and now both men break and stand again facing each other as the crowd erupt in applause. Both men stand and begin feeling for each other again, taking a quick break and then coming in again and lock up, Red grabbing the arm and pushing Hayabusa back into the ropes, going to whip him off them but Hayabusa keeps hold, refusing to let go. Red kicks him in the gut and still no give, a shot to the head, no give, a chop to chest and still he pulls and finally Hayabusa lets go allowing Red to whip him across the ring but as Hayabusa runs in he ducks down under the arm, and again into the ropes and again a duck, and again into the ropes building up speed as he avoids Red’s attacks and then sliding through the legs, standing behind Red but Red turns and grabs him again whipping him into the ropes again and going for aback body drop but Hayabusa flies over him and down onto his feet behind him again, this time no coming in with a straight kick to the shins that sounds like a gunshot. And another to the other shin, Red backing off, holding his legs from the assault but Hayabusa’s legs go higher now with a straight kick to the left side torso and then a roundhouse to the head finally takes Red down off his feet. Hayabusa backs off and turns towards the crowd, roaring at them and showing his tongue again before turning and moving back in on Red.
“Wow, what a change has come over Hayabusa this past few months since being transformed, or brainwashed, take your pick, at the hands of the Phenom” JR Comments.
Red now stands and the two combatants go for one another again. Red now launches forward going for Hayabusa’s legs but he is able to shuffle out of way. He stands and Hayabusa comes in with another roundhouse kick to the chest that sends Red reeling back, holding his chest in pain. But as he raising up Hayabusa jumps and spins nailing Red with a jumping roundhouse kick to the head that takes the challenger down again. This time Red knows he is in trouble and bolts under the bottom rope to the outside but before he can barely stand Hayabusa is running for the opposite ropes, running the length of the ring and flying over the top rope and down onto Red with a springboard senton to the floor. The crowd stands and react as own, roaring loudly for the move as both men lay at ringside. Hayabusa now stands, going under the ring and taking advantage as last month of the new stipulations of the division by getting himself a chair. He turns around with it but bam! Red is there and sends it flying back into his face with a standing dropkick. The crowd pop as Hayabusa stumbles back into the ring apron.
Red takes a moment before sliding into the ring and running into the far ropes himself now, running the ring and diving over the top rope down into Hayabusa onto his shoulders and turning it into a Hurricanrana that sends Hayabusa flying headfirst into the guard rail. The crowd react huge on that one, standing in applause for red as his rises, holding himself. Red now rolls back into the ring as finally the Dark Phoenix rises and comes in but Red is there to meet him, grabbing him by the head and pulling him into the ring, lifting him up and backing him into the ropes, shooting him off and then taking him down with a spinning heel kick followed by a quick cover for 2. Red now picks Hayabusa up again by the head and sends him flying out of the ring to the floor, following him out and then grabbing himself another chair, coming in with it as the crowd are rowdy now, setting it up, picking Hayabusa up and hitting him so that he sits back on the chair and then sliding into the ring. The audience are now buzzing with wonder and anticipation at what Red is planning here, he runs across the ring again and dives through the ropes with a cross body down onto the seated Hayabusa, collapsing it as they both fall backwards onto the floor. Red now stands and goes into the ring, getting cheers as he posses. Hayabusa slowly raising up on the outside and mounts the apron, red coming in but Hayabusa reacts this time jumping up onto the top rope and spring boarding with a RVD like kick to the chest that sends red falling back. He then follows that up by whipping Red into the ropes and as he comes in jumping up onto his shoulders and turning it into a victory roll for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa does not let up as he stands, back towards Red and then jumps nailing a standing moonsault into another cover for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa goes to pick Red up but Red fires back with stiff right hands and then backs him into the corner, grabbing the arm and whipping Hayabusa across the ring but as Hayabusa reaches the corner he jumps up to the top rope and moonsaults backwards over Red as he runs in. Red turns as he lands and waists a moment before launching forward with a closeline but Hayabusa ducks underneath the arm and as Red turns nails him with a dropkick. That sends Red back, falling out of the ring again and now Hayabusa comes straight in, vaulting over the top but Red sees him and moves out the way but Hayabusa sees this and lands feet first on the ring apron, waiting for Red to raise his head up and then kicking him hard in the teeth to a loud “oh!” From the crowd. That sends Red stumbling back to the guardrail. Hayabusa wastes no time, jumping up onto the top rope and hitting an assai springboard Moonsault to the floor.
After a moment of rest both men stand again, Hayabusa with advantage as he nails Red but Red fights back and two begin trading furious shots that turn into furious backhand chops going back and forth until Red kicks Hayabusa in the gut and drives his head into the guard wall. He then grabs one of the chairs and cracks it hard off the back of Hayabusa as he pulls himself up on the guard wall. Red then pushes him over the wall and places the chair over him, Sandwiching him between the chair and the wall and then hit the apron as the crowd buzz. Red then enters the ring, grabs the top rope, takes a breath and then jumps up off the top rope down onto Hayabusa with a springboard leg drop onto the chair smashing him between the chair and wall!
“Holy Shit! Holy Shit!” Chants begin to sound as Hayabusa rolls around on the mats holding his ribs in agony. Red stands finally after a few moments and wastes no time in rolling him into the ring and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Hayabusa just kicks out.
“Ok now I am starting to belief in the power of the Undertaker at this point! How the hell did he kick out?” Yells Lawler in disbelief.
“I don’t know about that King I just thing Hayabusa is one yell of a tenuous, resistant athlete who is pushing all the bounders of endurance here! I belief is Hayabusa! In his will to retain his title!” Responds JR.
Red now drags Hayabusa towards the ropes and jumps up onto them and down with a springboard moonsault, but at the last second Hayabusa manages to get his knees up leaving Red to crash hard rib first into them and roll away in pain.
Hayabusa finally stands, coming in and grabbing Red, dropping him down with the spinning Falcon Arrow for 1…2…3!
The crowd reacts with applause and cheers as Hayabusa falls back holding himself and his music is played. The red getting the belt to give to him as Finkle announces it.
“Your winner and STILL the X Division Champion! The Darkside of Hayabusa!”
Hayabusa is in heavy pain but finally is able to stand and get his hands raised to applause for the audience. He then weakly pulls a face at them one more time before dropping out of the ring and leaving, hurt as he may be, as he came in. Champion.
We are now backstage with Mean Gene Okerlund in the Interview Area.
“Ladies and Gentleman, my guests at this time; The managers and co founder of the Company James E Cornette and the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson!”
The camera zooms out to show both men to loud boos from the live crowd. Cornette is looking torn and conflicted as he mulls over something, nervously holding his tennis racket with both hands. Danielson looks determined, fired up but focused as he looks out to the reaction.
“Jim I will go to you tonight. Already in our first match were saw things break down for your faction, things have not been going as well as late either. Many say it’s the stress of the Order of Darkness and challengers like Shawn Michaels that is finally cracking you. We also now know that if this man Bryan Danielson wins his match tonight he will match fellow company member the Miz at Survivor Series. Your comments?”
“Gene I don’t want or need to indulge your ridicules one sided, small minded questions. You see the Company will never divide unless it is to conquer! We are as strong as ever and little things like tonight’s little disagreement between employees and employee on employee title matches will not break that bond! Are we cracking under stress?” He mocks “don’t make me laugh and let’s get real because that’s the past and the future but I want to talk about the present. Let us come to tonight where the biggest name in the industry today, the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bryan Danielson finally has a chance to once and for all put down his has been jealous former teacher. Tonight he has a chance with no interference and no random elements to beat HBK into a bloody pulp in that glass monstrosity! Imagine the pain as he cracks Michael’s head into those glass planes and cracks it with his head! That is what you are going to see. And in the process he will finally silence all the doubters, all the critics who say he is a flash in the pan paper champion, who say he can’t win fair and square. Well you down get more fair and square than a straight fight in a animal like enclosure to decide who really is the better man, teacher or student, old guard or new guard. To decide who is the Champion of the World!” Cornette calms himself as he backs off and straightens his tie.
Okerlund backs the mic away and raises it to the mouth of Bryan Danielson.
“I have only one thing to say because tonight is not about words, it’s about actions. Shawn you and I have had this unending series where it apparently decided nothing. Well tonight Shawn we decide it all between you and me by destroying each other in that glass prison. Hope you have your insurance paid up Shawn because tonight it’s not about winning, it’s about making sure that Shawn Michaels never wrestles or is the same again when the night done!”
With that both men walk off fame leaving Okerlund looking on a breathing out hard with a shake of his head.
Women’s Championship Three Way Dance
Kong is first to make her way out looking fierce and ready to kill someone to a good pop. Next is Kendra who walks into the ring with determination as well, getting straight into the ring and straight into the face of Kong. The two go nose to nose, snarling and staring each other down as Daffney’s music hits. Daffney makes her way out timidly, slowly and reluctantly making her way down the aisle and slowly into the ring. The two behemoths slowly turn their heads towards her and the women goes far more pale than even her makeup as the referee takes the title from her hand, she of course does not look or notice. The ref gives the belt to the timekeeper after holding it up and then calls for the bell. The two big women at once turn their heads back to back each other and one again lock eyes.
The crowd now comes alive erupting in chants of “fight! Fight! Fight!” As the two women breathe heavily staring holes into each other, real back and then explode into each other with trading blows, the crowd exploding on the first and getting louder and louder as each one is nailed back and forth it goes over and over with punches, each women standing their ground. That is until Kendra bring up her leg and nails Kong in the gut with a kick, reeling back in wait to take advantage but Kong merely stands there shaking her head with a smile, the crowd cheering.
“My God I think Kendra may have finally met her match!” JR calls.
“I never thought I would hear those words” Monsoon replies.
Kong launches forward with a closeline but Kendra only stumbles back for the hard stuff shot to the chest, standing her ground equally as another part of the audience cheer both all react. Kong again goes for the closeline but again she stands her ground, this time Kendra goes for a big boot but Kong takes advantage of the unstable footing, grabbing her underneath and going to lift her for a scoop slam but Kendra slams into her back with a clubbing blow that sends Kong off.
“Neither women is giving an inch here” JR comments “and Daffney is just standing there and hoping Kong is too busy to notice her and hoping Kendra’s loyalties are solid.”
Kendra now comes in going for a vice grip on the head of Kong but she fights the hands off and nails Kendra with a hard shot to the head and then charges forward with a running head but to the torso which finally keels Kendra over. Kong then stands and grabs Kendra’s head, bringing up her own and slamming into her with a hard heat but, and another, and another finally on the third Kendra falls down to the mat. Kong follows that up with a leg drop which shakes the ring. She then stands and slowly turns towards Daffney. Daffney’s face is that of pure terror as she holds out her hands and begs, pleads for Kong to leave her only. The monster of a women here none of it and moves in on her with a smile on her face, a frown and licking her lips at her like a meal.
The crowd erupt in chants of “Break her neck! Break her neck!” To which Lawler flabbergasts “What?!” In response “these people are sick JR.” “Well it is Chicago. But I fear they may be right, it does not look good at all for the Undertaker’s favorite right hand vixen.”
Kong comes in now going for the kill when from behind comes Kendra, cutting her off and turning her around to loud boos. Kendra brings her elbow up now and elbows Kong in the face and then as she reels, runs for the ropes and in but Kong catches her and takes her over and down with a capture power slam. Kong then stands and runs for the ropes, coming off and down! With a big splash on Kendra for 1…2…NO! Kendra just kicks out!
Kong seems frustrated now for the first time as she stands but them as Kendra rolls away in pain turns back to Daffney. This time she waist no times going in, Daffney tries to run for the ring but as she gets through the ropes Kong grabs her by the hair and pulls her in with a face like the thunder, the crowd getting louder and louder as she does. She then nail the women in the gut and sets her up and drops her down with the Implant Buster followed by a quick determined cover for 1…2…3! The crowd roar as Kong backs off and stands with a smile.
As Daffney is announced as Eliminated Kong stands in satisfaction, looking down at the results of her carnage but from behind comes Kendra! Hooking her with both arms, Kong tries her best to fight her off but she was taken by surprise and Kendra finally manages to lock in the sleeper hold to the crowds shock and jeering disappointment. Kong struggles all she can in the hold that has put every women down it has been applied to without fail for over a year. The crowd shouts for Kong to get out of it and oh how she tries but finally begins to fade. Now Kendra drops back, now grape-veining the legs and hooking it in deep. Nodding her head now as Kong seems lifeless after being in the hold for over a minute. Now finally the referee comes in after two and begins to raise Kong’s hand. Once….Twice…Three Times.
The crowd boos loudly as the bell rings and finally Kendra lets Kong go, pushing her off to the mat.
“Your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Kendra!” Thunderous boos still.
Kendra now stands and gets her hand raised in triumph, getting the belt placed across her waist as she stands over Kong in satisfaction. Finally she reaches down and scoops the lifeless Daffney off the mat, puts her over her shoulder and carries her to the back. As she does Kong begins to come too in the ring and is visibly livid.
“Well Kendra is your new Champion. The title stays within the Order. But after the fashion in which is happened tonight I would have to say this rivalry is far, far from over” comments JR as we fade out.
Intercontinental Championship
Charles is out first to boos with Wade Barret flanking him. Then they explode for Liger who is led to the ring by the animated, flag waving American Dream Dusty Rhodes!
The two start off by walking towards each other, Liger ready to lock up, Ecktor swaggering over with his usual bravado and then reaching up and slapping liger across the face with a smirk. Liger takes umbrage to this, launching hard forward to lock up and pushing Ecktor with force to the mat. Ecktor rolls through and onto his feet, standing and coming in and now liger takes him over with a headlock takedown. He locks it for a few moments, wrenching it as Charles powers to his feet and then backs him off and shoots him off the ropes across the ring grabbing him coming in with a belly to belly but Liger fights out and hits the ropes again running in with a charge which Ecktor turns into a backdrop but Liger lands on his feet and hits the ropes again, now Ecktor goes for a clubbed brass hammer blow but Liger slides through on his back under the fists, kips up onto his feet and grabs Charles from behind in a rear wait lock but Charles reverses that into a waist lock of his own, pushing Liger towards the ropes and dropping back but Liger keeps hold leaving him to rolls back and come in with a blow again and this time nailing it. He then covers for a quick 1 count. Charles pulls Liger up by the arm and backs him into the ropes, shoots him off across the ring again and this time catching him for a hip toss but Liger keeps his ground and goes for a forearm, however Charles ducks underneath and turns it into grabbing Liger from behind in a waist lock and taking him over and down with a German but Liger rolls through turning into in a leg pinning roll up, but Charles rolls through that and turns it into one of his own but Liger kicks him off sending him into the ropes and catching him coming in for the monkey flip but Charles reverses that slamming Liger down hard onto the mat and covering for 1. Liger now stands and runs for the ropes, Ecktor catching him for the hip toss again but Liger quickly reverses it and takes Charles over with one of his own. Now Ecktor bolts from the ring under the bottom rope for the rest but Liger wastes no time running for the ropes, running the ring and going for a plancha, but as Ecktor reacts to it he feints it into a handspring and then uses the top rope to catapult over but Ecktor now runs away towards the corner, Liger however sees this and lands on the ring apron on his feet. He waits for Ecktor to moves away from the ring post and look up just as Liger runs the ring apron and dives down onto Ecktor with a rolling senton to a loud pop from the pro liger crowd, exploding into applause. Ecktor now lays on the mat as Liger rolls into the ring and poses for the cameras and crowd to a loud cheer and rallying cries for the American Dream at ringside, his biggest fan obviously.
He waits then, now taunting for Ecktor to get back into the ring and as he does runs for the ropes again but as he comes in Ecktor drops down and nails Nail in the knee with a chop block. Liger rolls away crying in pain and holding his leg as Ecktor regains his bearings and stands. As he does Liger has now rolled out under the bottom rope on the ring apron. He then leaps over, grabs Liger’s foot and slams it hard into the steel edges of the ring apron to loud boos and cries of pain from Liger. Ecktor gives a lopsided cocky smile to the crowd and then enters the ring after Liger to continue his work. Liger now stands; using the top rope to pull himself up but in comes the merciless Ecktor who kicks at the back of the injured leg three times, taking the wheel out from under Liger as he tries to get away. We now see a shot of Dusty at ringside holding his head and shouting encouragement for his man to get back into it. Charles now grabs the leg, dragging Liger with it and then drives his knee down into it, and again, reveling in the pain it brings. He then turns him over and locks Jushin in the one legged Boston grab on the injured leg. Liger writhes in pain, holding his head and reaching for the ropes in agony, looking like it might be over already. Barret is now before him on the outside, shouting through the ropes for Liger to tap. Liger however is able to uses all his strength to turn over and kick Charles off, but he come straight back in pulling him with the leg again, jolting it and then dropping down and driving his elbow right to the knee joint. He then grabs the leg, steps over, drops down and locks in the figure four leg lock. Liger again is in real trouble as he calls out in pain, trying to hold on as Dusty and fans scream to him to do so, feeling behind him for the ropes he hopes are there but aren’t. Charles then drops back, slapping the mat with his arms is he continues to pull and wrench in the hold on the knee and leg. Liger is shaking his head furiously but is occasionally bringing his hand up to hold his head, but in doing so falls down to the mat for 1…2…No he is able to get back onto his elbows. Finally after nearly two minutes of bearing the hold he falls back and it able to grab the ropes to the crowds and Dusty’s relief but Ecktor and Wade’s frustration. After getting a 4 count Charles finally break, slamming the mat with his hands as he stands and gets to his feet to come in again on the wounded Liger. He now has a different plan grabbing Liger and lifting him up for belly to belly and over but dropping him deliberately hard point blank on his head. The onlooker’s wince at the move’s impact as does the commentators in their words. As a relay is shown Ecktor turns Liger over and drives an elbow into the back of his neck. He then backs into the ropes and does a Ric Flair like knee drop right into the back of Liger’s head right onto his spine.
“I think he has visions of his Royal Clutch here, his modified version of the camel clutch that has made him undefeated so far here in the WWF” JR calls.
He delivers several more shots to the back of the head and neck before going back to stomping at the legs, systematically breaking down and destroying Liger piece by piece. But then from out of nowhere Liger comes to life catching him and rolling him up for 1..2…NO!
Liger stumbles and limps to a standing position as Ecktor regains his bearings and rolls up coming in and getting nailed with a hard palm strike. Liger holds his neck and takes the weight off his injured leg at once following the sudden movement but then defiantly does it again and enjoys the same results from his own injuries sustained. He then nails Ecktor with a dropkick but cries out and holds his leg as he falls to the mat.
“That injured leg and head may be his downfall here. He may be too injured to sustain any more offense or continue” Gorilla says.
Liger ignore it, standing, hitting his leg in anger and hold the back of his neck only for a moment before catching Charles as he runs in with a tilt a whirl backbreaker down onto his good knee and covers for 1…2…NO!
He then picks Ecktor up and places him between his legs as the crowd comes alive, signals for it and then hoists Ecktor up for the Liger bomb but as he does his injured leg gives way from the weight and he falls back in pain with Ecktor landing on him for a cover of 1…2…NO! Ecktor rolls off and Liger rolls away in pain.
“What did I say? He couldn’t do the Liger bomb! His leg gave way!” Calls Monsoon.
Charles sees this and takes advantage, coming in a working the leg again before lifting him up and clobbering him in the back with a hard shot to neck, and several more for good measure followed by a double under hook suplex and a cover for 1…2…NO! Liger kicks out again.
Ecktor now stands in anger jumps in and beating on Liger’s head again, turning him over and going for the royal clutch but Liger fights out of it and manages to get back on his feet and as Ecktor turns he grabs him, goes behind and lifts him up and down with CTB for 1..2..3!
The crowd roars in approval as the bell rings and Liger’s music plays.
“Here is your winner and still World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion Jushin “Thunder” Liger!”
Dusty helps Liger to his feet, taking the weight off the injured leg as the referee then hands him the belt. Liger does his best to limp to standing on his own and hold the belt up to the cheering jubilant crowd with nods of respect and then is helped to the back by the ref and Dusty.
“He has taken on just about the entire company folks and he has captured and twice kept the prestigious Intercontinental Championship!” JR calls as the segment fades to a commercial for Survivor Series.
Tag Team Championship
The Hart Dynasty make their way out first, they looked focused and really to kill. The Brood is next, looking sadistic, evil and pissed.
The Brood scales the ring apron; talk and finally Christian and DH smith decide to start us off. Both teams stare wholes into each other, both looked ready to fire rage into each other, the Hart Dynasty looking like they want to kill Edge and Christian for their actions and their family’s betrayal.
Christian grins sadistically as he circling the ring, moving with Smith and waiting for the anger to build up and him to make the first move. Finally DH reaches for the arm and misses the first time then steps forward and the two lock up, struggling furiously against each other and trying to get the upper hand in the starting hold. Finally as they move around the ring in it Christian is able to send DH Smith into the corner now and break, forcing his head back in the turnbuckle with one hand and then reeling back and swinging with the other but DH is able to duck underneath and use the momentum to get behind and push Christian into the corner now. He backs off as Christian runs out of the corner and bam! Takes him down coming in with a hard right hand that has the fury of the betrayed Hart’s behind it. Christian gets back up and launches in with anger now again and the two begin trading blows back and forth furiously until Christian gets in a kick to the gut and then whips Smith intro the corner. Following him in and beginning to hammer into him with right hands to the ribs and head in the corner, making the ref start to count and reaching 4 before he lets him out. He then grabs the arm and whips DH across the ring into the opposite corner and running in after him but as Smith reaches it he grabs the top turnbuckle and lifts up so that Christian passes in under him into the corner himself, landing back on his feet and then and then catching the incoming Christian with a hard big boot and covering for 2.
The two get back up and DH goes on the attack but Christian fights back with right hands and then a dropkick, forcing him back into his and Edge’s corner and then nailing him there with a shoulder thrust, and another and then tagging Edge in. Edge now comes in and follows DH as he tries to reel back and hammers on him, forcing him into the other corner now and whaling on him with hard right hands, he then Irish whips DH across the ring but this time smith buts on the breaks and turns waiting for Edge to run in and then catching him and dropping him down with the front falling slam for 1..2..NO! DH keeps advantage, grabbing the arm and pulling Edge to his feet, wrenching on the arm and going under it three times for extra tort. He then continues to pull at the arm, forcing Edge back onto his knees now and dragging him back towards his corner and tagging in Tyson Kid. Handing Edge to him and leaving the ring. He nails on Edge with right hands and then follows it up with a straight side kick to the chest, backing him into the ropes and then backing him into them and shooting him off, Edge is able to reverse it now and send Tyson into the ropes, waiting on him coming in but gets smacked hard incoming by a ensurguri, followed by a spinning leg drop for a quick 1 count cover. He then grabs Edge by the head and picks him up but Edge fights him off and smashes him in face with a hard punch that takes Tyson down. He then backs off into his corner again and tags Christian back in as Kid is getting up.
Christian comes in and grabs Tyson by the head, swinging for the punch and missing as Tyson ducks underneath and then slams into him with a shot of his own, and another, and another that now takes Christian down and reeling.
“Wow the Hart’s really taking it to the Brood. I guess that’s what the anger, desire and hatred for revenge will do for you. What it will do to motivate you” says Ross.
Tyson comes in on Christian rising in the corner and hammers on him again and then grabs his head and slams it hard face first into the turnbuckle pad. And again, and again, again, over and over he slams his head on the top buckle, the crowd counting along with each whiplashing impact until finally the ref pushes Tyson back and forces him to stop in a threat of DQ. He then grabs Christian by the arm and whips him into the ropes again, catching him on the rebound and sending him over with a hurricanrana into a cover for 1…2…NO!
Tyson backs off and comes in the rising Christian who is now on his knees and catches Kid coming in with a hard shot to gut to fight back into it, and then another for good measure as Tyson keels over holding his belly and then Christian reaches up and rakes the eye. That gets boos from the crowd, a warning by the referee and sends Tyson turning away in wincing pain. Christian stands and works over Tyson again before grabbing him and taking him to the corner to tag Edge back in. He then holds Tyson in a rear chin lock exposing the torso for Edge to slam into with a hard kick. Christian heads outside as Edge takes over the beating taking Tyson down with two hard rights. DH is on the apron on now loudly and desperately calling for the tag. Edge now hammers into him more and then backs him into the corner looking to go for the double team again but now as the crowd pop Tyson fires back with a right hand of his own, that gets a shot back in turn from Edge, another shot from Tyson, another from Edge. The furious heated blows going back and forth between the two hated rivals. Tyson then even turns and nails the attacking Christian off the apron with a shot then turns back to hammer into Edge again, firing out of the corner as the crowd come alive for the lightweight in pink and black. He finally manages to get Edge onto the ropes and whips him off of them; Edge is able to reverse it though and sends Tyson into the ropes but wham in comes Tyson with a spinning heel kick taking Edge down to a good cheer from the fans. Tyson now mounts Edge and begins hammering into him over and over with hard right hands before being forced get off by the referee.
“You can feel the hatred in Tyson’s eyes here” JR calls.
Now he picks Edge back up and sends him into the ropes now and this time drops his head down for a back body drop and gets kicked in the mouth with a straight kick that sends him falling back to the mat, holding his jaw in pain. Edge now comes in and tags Christian back in and the later goes back to work, stomping away on Kid, grabbing him up and hooking him for a suplex but Tyson rolls back hooking the leg and turning it into an inside cradle for 1…2…NO!
Both men stand again and now Tyson takes Christian over with a side headlock take over into a cover for 2 as Christian is able to get his shoulder up but is still in the headlock. Christian is then able to power to his feet still in the headlock but then lifts Tyson up for a back body down but Tyson reverses that as he drops forwards into another side headlock take over with gets applause for the crowd. Christian is able again to get to his feet and back Tyson into the ropes, shoots him off across the ring and goes to take him over with an arm drag but Tyson puts on the break and turns it into a hip toss taking him over and down. He then moves in and grabs the side headlock again but this time Christian powers up, grabs Tyson’s head with both hands and pushes it hard down into the mat to break it up. He then runs in for the rising Tyson and goes for a dropkick but Tyson grabs him and takes him over with both legs, looking for the sharpshooter as the crowd come alive but Christian kicks him off and sends him flying through the ropes to mats ringside. Christian then stands, distracting the referee as Edge turns on the ring apron, waits for Tyson to rise up and then flies off with the ring apron with a diving spear taking out Kid on the floor. Edge stands, whipping his hair back with a sadistic smile and then keeping his eye on the ref, mounts the apron again like nothing has happened as Christian pushes past to ref and goes to scoop Tyson off the mats. He does so and rolls him into the ring, stomping and beating on him before going for the cover for 1…2…NO! Christian I frustrated and tags in Edge who nails Tyson with a go behind reverse face buster and hooking the leg for 1…2…NO! Edge now stands and gets in another boot on Tyson and then wrenches the arm to pull him up and backing into the corner and tagging Christian back in. Christian comes in and goes behind Tyson hammering into his back with stomps and shots that takes Tyson back down in evident pain. He then whips Tyson to the corner and follows him in but Tyson moves at the last second but Christian counters that and goes behind to nail the reverse DDT. Christian then stands, looks out and heads to the top rope. Christian rises up as Tyson does in the ring, DH frantic and fresh on the apron, Christian gives a taunt and then flies off but at the last second Tyson jumps up and nails him with a dropkick out of midair. The crowd roars on that one as both men fall to the mat. Tyson rises and behind crawling towards his corner, as does Christian now, the crowd clapping and stomping, calling for Tyson to make it to the frantic Smith for the tag. Slowly each man crawls, Christian closer to his corner and makes it there first tagging in Edge. Tyson seems far away from DH’s hand as Edge comes in but then launches forward and hot tag to DH Smith!
DH comes in like a bat out of hell taking Edge down with a hard closeline, in comes Christian and gets taken down with a big boot, turns back to Edge and takes him down with a closeline again, turning to sees Christian rolling out of the ring and turns back to Edge, picking him up, nailing on him and then scooping him up. The crowd are frantic now as he backs into the corner and runs forward and down with his fathers finishing move the running power slam and a cover for 1…2…NO! Christian is back and just breaks it up.
Christian stomping on Smith, ignoring the ref but on the left side of out screens Tyson leaps up onto the ring apron and flies off and down with a mule dropkick sending Christian flying out of the ring. He then calls for DH and heads to the outside again. Smith nods in understanding and stands, scooping Edge up in the bear hug and lifting him up as Tyson vaults onto top rope, off and down for the modified Hart Attack! Smith goes for a cover for 1…2…NO! Christian is again back and breaks it up. Tyson sees this is he gets back up on the outside and runs in for Christian but Christian side steps him and sends him flying into the corner shoulder first with a hard splat. He then turns, grabs DH, turns him over and nails him with the Killswitch. He bolts of the ring leaving Edge after a few moments to crawl slowly forward and barely put an arm over DH for 1…2…NO! Tyson is back and breaks that up! The crowds are reacting to each move now, fooled by each false finish. Both legal men are out of it now as Christian gets back to his corner and yells for Edge to tag him. Finally Edge begins to crawl and launches forward tagging Christian in. Christian comes right in and goes to work hammering and stomping on the downed DH. He then picks him up and sets him up for another Killswitch but this time DH powers out pushing Christian forward into the ropes and right into Tyson on the apron who nails him coming in with a straight kick to the head that sends him stumbling back into the arms of Smith who grabs him and takes him over and down with the power slam for 1…2…NO! Edge is back and just breaks that up.
Tyson has had enough now and hits the right hammering into Edge and taking him to the outside. The two continue to brawl at ringside in front of the announce table as the referee yells at them to stop, but they hear none of it. The back and forth brawl continues until Edge is able to grab Tyson back the head and send him flying headfirst and over the steel ring steps, dislodging them and maybe doing the same to Tyson’s ribs.
Back in the ring both legal men stand at opposite sides of the ring, Christian coming to first and running forward but DH comes to life catching him coming in and taking him down with a spine buster and covering for 1…2…NO! Christian just kicks out.
The live crowd are worn out now from the near falls as DH stands, stumbling back, annoyed but determined and comes in on Christian to finish the job when bam! Out of nowhere comes Edge and nails him with a spear. The crowd boos as Edge stands now and grabs Christian’s arm placing it over DH and leaving the ring as the referee reluctantly counts 1…2…3!
The boo’s reign down as the music hits and Finkle announces it.
“Your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions! Edge and Christian, the Brood!”
Edge snatches both belts from the timekeeper and heads into the ring to give Christian his. Christian comes too as he raises up and realizes, a smile creeping across his lips in realization. With that the tag champions leave in victory, Tyson now into the ring and huddled over Smith, staring on at them in fierce anger and frustration.
We are now backstage with Okerlund again in the interview stage.
“Ladies and Gentleman the challenger for the WWF title, Shawn Michaels!”
The crowd comes alive with a loud cheer as HBK steps into fame beside him.
“Shawn, we heard from Cornette and Danielson earlier. I would like to ask your thoughts knowing that in moments you head into the first ever class cage to finish the rivalry one way or another with your former pupil Bryan Danielson.”
“Well Gene, I won’t mince words, I will say it plain and simple so everyone, even Bryan can understand. When this all started I had love and forgiveness in my heart for our champion and my former pupil. But now after looking into his eyes and seeing what he has become I know there is no way to end this that doesn’t involve violence, extreme violence. Violence so bad that a new match type had to be invented to fuel it and contain it! Bryan says he hates me? Well I don’t believe in hate but if there is a thing that is the closed to it I feel that from him. Tonight is not going to be pretty boys and girls. Put the kids to bed because I promise that when all is said and done Bryan Danielson will be a bloody scared mess and Shawn Michaels well be a justified, penance taken, blood soaked Champion! Its time to get my belt back!” With that HBK stares into the camera and walks off with a determined look in his eye as we are ready for the main event.
Main Event: Glass Cage Match
“Well folks” JR says as we cut back to the arena “as we prepare for the first ever Glass Cage match let us look back at how this all started. And while it officially began in June, we all have to agree the true seeds were sown at Backlash!”
With that we cut to a video package telling the story of this rivalry up until now. We then cut back to the arena and the cage.
The cage music begins to play and crowd cheer as the new class structure begins to lower from the air towards the ring. We now get our first good look at it. It is 2 feet tall, centimeter think panes of glass, metal structures beams at the top and sides. Ladder like rungs on each side of the corners and a metal platform on the top of each side. Finally it is fitted into place by the roadies and referees and we are ready.
HBK’s music hits and he is out fist to a thunderous ovation. Next the champion comes out to a mixed reaction but mostly loud jeers and boos.
Both men stare with unwavering glares at each other, staring holes into each other which is only broken for them to look around in awe and wonder at the structure around them. Cornette as it ringside outside the glass, the referee inside gets between the two and begins explaining the rules but neither man is listening, instead they are continue to scowl at each other, running through their minds what they are going to do to each other in this glass prison.
“This will not be pretty” JR comments as finally the bell is called for and rings.
Both men slowly step forward towards each other, taking their time as the crowd buzz and roar around them, flashes going off. Bryan turns his head and loosens his arms as he walks forward, HBK is unmoving and simply stares into him.
“Both of these men are about to be changed forever. The will never be the same after this” Lawler comments.
“This rivalry has gotten so personal” replies JR “these two simply hate each other and it’s hard to imagine that once upon a time HBK was teaching Bryan how to wrestle and breaking him into the business.”
“Just to clarify for everyone at home” adds Monsoon “there is no escape in this match; you can do anywhere you like. But the first man to score a in or submission in the ring will be the World Wrestling Federation Champion.”
Both men finally launch forward and lock up, jocking for position with each other, Struggling and turning back and forth into the ropes, they trade places on the ropes and in the corner back and forth as they struggles and turn with each other in the collar and elbow tie up. Finally Bryan is able to back Shawn into the corner and drops back, going for a kick to the chest but HBK ducks underneath and goes behind, knocking Bryan into the corner and working over him with hard right hands, Bryan then reverses it and sends Shawn into the corner and begins hammering into him with shots of his own. HBK then is able to fire back, fighting out of the corner and then grabs Bryan by the head and throws him back into the corner again and now slamming into the bare chest with a knife edge chop which gets a loud woo from the capacity crowd, and now another overhand right to the head of Bryan making him dazed in the corner again. That is until Bryan fires forward nailing HBK running in with a hard kick to the chest and the following it up with a right hand, grabbing the head and send him headfirst into the glass behind them. HBK’s face splats of the glass as he is the first to taste it. Bryan then catches him from behind on the rebound and nails a back suplex into a quick cover for 2. He then pick Shawn back off the mat and goes to send him into the cage again but HBK puts out his hand and blocks it this time, turning and nailing Bryan with a shot and then taking him over with a head scissor take down. HBK wastes no time, getting back onto his feet and grabbing Bryan, nailing him several times with knife edge chops to the chest and kicking him in the gut and dropping him down with a face buster. HBK stands and picks Bryan up, grabbing him by the head now and sending him into the glass walls with a slat and then catching him coming back and sending him in again, and again, again, over and over Bryan’s head hits the glass and soon the glass begins to crack, a webbing of cracks spreading over that side and looking to give way when Bryan manages to elbow HBK in the gut and break off the merciless assault. He then turns, regains his bearing and then slams into HBK with a running high knee. Bryan walks forward trying to gather himself and shake of the damage just caused and then turns back to Michaels, grabbing him and sending him into the corner hammering and away on him and then grabbing his head with both hand and viciously sending the back of it into metal structuring in the corner. That makes all winces as Shawn holds the back of his head. Bryan grabs him again and again sends him into the steel bars in the corner. He then catches Shawn and takes him over and down with double under hook breaker and a cover for 2.
Bryan backs off only for a moment but then grabs HBK’s head and sends him into the side of glass that is fractured. HBK impacts and then turns falling in a open position, holding the top rope when Bryan comes in and nails a big boot that smashes HBK’s head sickly between his boot and smashing hard in the glass behind him as finally we hear the sound of smashes. The crowd reacts with a loud “oh!” On that one. We can now see on the replay from the outside a piece of the glass where HBK’s head hit fly off and down onto the mats. When we return to live action the camera man zooms in filming through the small hole and cracks around it into the ring where the action continues. We can now see that Shawn is busted open somewhat on the back of his head from the blow as Bryan catches him and takes him down with a snap suplex and then locks in a dragon sleeper on the mat. Michaels struggles in the hold, trying to fight out of it and finally does beginning his leg up and kicking Bryan three times in the head and sending him back. HBK gets straight back to his feet waits for the walking away Bryan to turn and then launch forward with a flying forearm that sends Bryan flying back into the Glass behind him cracking that side now. Shawn is down for a moment but then raises up and grabs Bryan by the head and sending him face first back into the glass, it cracks more, and again, more cracking, and again, finally after blow after blow the glass give way and large chunk of it shatters and sprays around ringside. We get multiple relays of it and when we come back we can see that is has opened a large gash across the forehead of Danielson, the blood pouring like wine from it down his
