The Dominion’s World Wrestling Federation Presents
ARMAGEDDON 2010
We open with an a song used for every event of this name but never have the lyrics been so apt. “The end is here” he cut together with footage of Survivor Series and of Bryan Danielson’s Championship reign and 2010 timeline with the Undertaker.
“Indeed the end may be here for Bryan Danielson’s Championship reign. It was for the World Wrestling Federation as we knew it last month and indeed tonight marks the beginning of a new era. The question simply remains to be asked it’s just for the company or for its World Championship as well?” JR calls as we pan the jam packed wild crowd and then fade to the announce table “hello everyone Jim Ross here live from San Antonio Texas and what a night it will be. All the titles on the line and anything could happen with the new regime around here.”
“Well first of all I resent your tone, secondly why didn’t you introduce me? You did for King and Gorilla!” Cornette chimes in.
“Yeah I was getting round to it…”
“Jim Cornette here everybody, the voice of unbiased open minded and not being stuck in tradition. And tonight it’s the last PPV of the years and it will be the last PPV of Bryan Danielson’s championship reign. Trust me, I know I helped him win it and keep it this long!”
“Indeed it may be. Not only has Bryan been assaulted these past few weeks but now he has to get in there with the one and only Undertaker and I don’t like he chances. But first we have our opening X Division Champion match! Howard.”
X Division Championship
“Ladies and Gentleman your opening contest” calls Finkle “is for the World Wrestling Federation X Division Championship!”
Owen is out first to a good positive response. Hayabusa is out next to a mixed reaction, mostly boos.
As soon as the bell rings the two go hard and fast for each other, trading blows until Hayabusa nails a kick to the chest, Owen answers back with one of his own, and then Hayabusa again with his but Owen catches it and turns it into an ensurguri. The Dark Phoenix stumbles back on his feet now and Owen comes it but Hayabusa comes back to life nailing him with a head-but and then driving him down with an H Edge, Hayabusa’s version of the booker end. He leaves him lying on the mat and jumps over the top rope to his feet on the floor and goes under the ring, searching and finding himself a hard, thick plank of 2 by 4 wood. He grabs hold and rolls into the ring, standing as Owen begins to rise and holding the plank between his hands and looking it, reeling it back and cracking it down hard over Owens head at he looks up. That gets a “oh!” Reaction from the crowd, some wincing from the impact. Owen falls back, out of it straight to the mat as Darkside of Hayabusa cackles to himself and licks his lips in sadistic satisfaction. He walks over with no regard for him opponent and places a foot lighting over Owens head for 1…2…NO! Owen kicks out!
Hayabusa seems annoyed and picks Owen up and dropping him down with another H Edge for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa moves over now and wraps his legs in a scissors around Owens head, sitting down and locking in the reverse head scissor vice. Owe is able to reverse it someone rolling onto his knees and sitting up turning it into an Electric chair drop but Hayabusa rolls forward and turns it into a victory roll for 1…2…NO!
Both men get up and come for each other again, Owen now able to grab a side headlock and take Hayabusa over and down to the mat, locking in the hold. Hayabusa is able to power out of it onto his feet and shoot Owen off into the ropes, leapfrogging over his coming in and then waiting for him again before taking him over with a hip toss but Hayabusa keeps the arm held rolling through and manages to launch Owen flying headfirst with a splat into the ring post. Darkside of Hayabusa now drops out of the ring again and grabs a trash can full of Kendo sticks and throws it into the ring, he then grabs and chair and brings that in with him. Reeling back and smacking Owen hard over the shoulder with it, throwing it to the mat grabbing Hart, hosting him up and driving him down with a pulling piledriver onto the chair. He now goes for a cover for 1…2…NO! Owen kicks out again.
“Man this Darkside of Hayabusa is one stick bastard!” Cornette exclaims. “Indeed. And Owen is not at all used to this style, it may be too much for him to overcome but give the man credit; he has managed to survive and hang in there so far” JR replies.
Hayabusa not sets the chair up, runs for the ropes, jumps up onto a chair and onto the ropes and down with the atomic Arabian moonsault but Owen not only moves at the last second but manages to pull the chair in the path of Hayabusa’s descent leaving him to crash and crumble on the seated chair ribs first! The crowd let out a massive reaction as Hayabusa holds his ribs and rolls around on the mat.
Owen stands now grabbing himself and chair, hosting it up and driving it hard into the back of the X Division Champion.
“Owen Hart is adapting!” JR calls out “Owen Hart is playing Dark side’s game!”
Owen now grabs himself and Kendo stick and walks over, lifting it and cracking it hard over the head of Hayabusa once, twice, three times! One the third it breaks in half! He then grabs the head and drives him down with the DDT for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa kicks out! Owen scoops him up again and drives him down with a gut wrench suplex for 1…2…NO! Again the kick out.
He picks Hayabusa up again but this time Hayabusa nails a straight kicks and jumps up onto the shoulders, taking him over and down with a hurricanrana. Both men stand again and Owen runs in to be taken down by a flying roundhouse kick, Hayabusa then runs the ring, jumps up onto the top rope and flies off and down onto Owen with a springboard moonsault for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa stands and goes for it again, but this time Owen gets to his feet and as Hayabusa springboards off the top and upside down towards him Owen catches him and turns it into the sit down tombstone piledriver for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa kicks out again. Owen gets to his knees and can’t believe it, now heading to the top rope and standing to come off when Hayabusa stands, grabs a Kendo stick, runs up and cracks it over his head. He then joins Owen on the top rope with the stick in one hand, holding Owen with the other and then turning him around and places the stick over his neck, hooking the leg with his own and falling off and down with a Kendo Stick Russian leg sweep from the top rope and covering for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa is enraged that that didn’t get the win, picking up the stick and angrily cracking it over his knee, picking Owen up and driving him down with a spinning Falcon Arrow before heading to the top rope and flying off and down with the Phoenix Splash for 1…2…3!
Darkside of Hayabusa’s music plays as he gets his hands raised, he pulls away from the ref and holding himself and he growls and spits at the fans before kicking Owen one more time and heading out of the ring and up the ramp , being handed the belt on the way and leaving still the X Division Champion.
Intercontinental Championship
KENTA makes his way out first to a pip pop from his growing supporters. Liger makes his way out to thunderous boos (no pun intended) and simply snarls back at them, spitting black poison mist as he stands on the corner.
The bell rings and Liger snarls at KENTA who simply looks back with stone faced determination. The black liquid is still all over Kishin’s mouth and chin, almost looking like black blood as the two begin to circle each other. Kishin goes for a side kick to the legs but KENTA moves his out of the way and the two continue shuffling around opposite each other, another kick to the leg and again KENTA shuffles out the way. They both now continue circling and then launch forward locking up, KENTA able to grab a side headlock but Liger back’s him into the ropes and shoot him off to bounce off the opposite ropes coming in, Liger drops down and lets KENTA pass over then as he comes in jumps up and nails him right in the mouth with a wheel kick. He grins with sick satisfaction, backing KENTA up, pulling him straight with his hair and whaling away on him with a back hand chop, and another, sounding like gun shoot as Liger hissings and licks up the pleasure of the pain he is causing. KENTA is backed into the corner now and Kishin continues the hard back hand chops, finally now turning to palm strikes, right and left over and over to the chest taking the wind out of the challenger and then jumping up to finish it with a jumping round house but KENTA catches the leg out of the air and drives him into the mat with it. The crowd applauds as KENTA comes in now, Liger running in and getting taken over with a drop back arm drag. Now both stand and run in for each other again, Liger roaring with dark rage and taking KENTA down now with an arm breaker arm drag and hoisting the arm, pulling it out its socket and locking in the hold. It is broken and both stand again, now KENTA hitting a low kick but Kishin fires back with a hard shot to the face, KENTA swings now with a round house kick but Kishin ducks it and lets him past over to stand with his back to him and then goes for a kick himself but KENTA turns and move his head just back out the way, he leg just sailing by. Both men go to a ready stance and stare each other down, some of the crowd erupting in applause as KENTA continues the steely glare and Liger gives it back, lifting his forearm up to whip his mouth of the black liquid from his chin.
Both men come in now and lock up again, KENTA backing Liger into the ropes and then cleanly breaking as the referee orders it but then brings his hand up and with full force slaps Kishin across the face, his face paint smudging off onto KENTA’s hand it’s so hard. Kishin goes wide eyed untamed dark rage and cries out as he runs in for KENTA now but KENTA grabs him with one hand and nails him with a elbow to face with the other, and another, Liger answers back with a back hand chop, KENTA with a elbow, chop from Liger, elbow from KENTA, kick from Liger, kick from KENTA back and forth it goes until KENTA hits the ropes and comes it but Liger grabs him coming in and goes behind dropping him with a Randy Orton style backbreaker. He then goes for a quick cover and gets 2.
Liger turns KENTA over now and goes to the legs, dropping back and locking in the bow and arrow lock, synching it in and reveling in the loud painful screams coming from KENTA. KENTA looks in extreme pain but somehow is able to kick and force him way out of it, dropping down and covering for 1…2…NO! Both men now are on their knees and go for each other like amateur wrestler’s grappling for each other and finally after a struggle KENTA is able to force Liger to his back on the mat and mouth him, trying to hold him down for a pin and failing, Liger then able to roll over and turn it around putting KENTA on the mat now and mounting him, now nailing into him with hard right hands to the unprotected head. KENTA tries to get his hands up but Liger keeps then pinned with his legs and continues whaling away. Eventually now standing and hissing at the crowd before heading to the corner and rising up onto the second rope, waiting for KENTA to stand and flying off but KENTA catches him on his shoulders and drops him down with a death valley driver for 1….2….NO! Kishin kicks out! KENTA now grabs Liger and brings him up by the head seating him up for the fisherman buster but Kishin blocks it and turns it into a fisherman driver but KENTA reverses that and turns it into a Tiger Suplex into a bridge for 1…2…NO! Kenta now lifts Liger’s head up and locks in a side headlock. Liger struggles in the hold for a moment but is eventually able to power onto his feet and jumping back, head still on the hold and as he drops back to the mat turns into a tornado DDT for 1…2…NO!
Kishin now has the advantage and won’t give it up, lifting KENTA up and throwing his shoulder first into the corner, coming in begin and grabbing him by the waist, dropping him back and down with a bridging German suplex for 1…2…NO! KENTA rolls through turning it into a pin of his own for 1…2…NO! Both men rise up again Liger running for KENTA but KENTA catches him coming in lifting him up with a flapjack and then as he drops turning it into a cutter! Cover for 1…2…NO!
KENTA is now out of his feet with fatigue as he rising up but will not give up the opportunity grabbing Liger and lifting him up but Liger nails him in the gut with a kick, sets him up and drives him down with the fisherman buster for 1…2…NO! The crowd roars for the kick out and then erupt in applause as both men fall out of it on the mat. They now rise again and Liger nails into KENTA with a backhand chop, KENTA answers back now with one of his own, Liger with a chop, KENTA, Kishin, KENTA, Kishin the chops go back and forth until KENTA finally blocks one and turns into the KENTA rush multiple slaps followed by a spinning reverse slap and then followed by roundhouse kick and finished with the Busaiku Knee Kick. Liger stumbles dropping to his knees now as KENTA runs for the ropes and comes in for the dropkick but Kishin is able to bring his hands up and swat him away. Liger now stands onto his feet and grabs KENTA by the hair, bringing him over to the corner and smashing him into it face first once, twice, three times but then KENTA answers back with an elbow to the gut backing Liger off and then leaping up onto the second rope and jumping back with a flying roundhouse taking Liger down and covering for 1…2….NO!
“Wow! These men pulling out all the stops! Every move they have here in this amazing Intercontinental Championship match! Kishin is far more strike orientated and aggressive than Jushin, KENTA is more focused than ever on winning the title! What a war!” JR yells. “It’s not over yet!” Cornette cries in response “come on Kishin!”
Both men are going at it again now with fists, chops and kicks until KENTA runs up floats over Liger, drops down behind and nails him with a dropkick that sends him flying out of the ring. As Kishin rises on the outside KENTA takes his chance running into the far ropes running the ring and leaping over down onto the shoulders of Liger but Kishin brings his arms up and catches him, dropping down and turning into a sit down powerbomb on the floor! The crowd reacts loudly with shock and awe as replays are shown and both men lay out of it on the mat.
Kishin now rises and grabs KENTA pulling him up and driving him face first into the steel steps and then rolling him into the ring and covering for 1…2…NO! Liger is livid, slamming the mat in rage and standing, his dark eyes set on KENTA as he backs up and heads outside to the top rope now. KENTA eventually and slowly begins to rise and Liger rises up, leaping from the top rope down onto KENTA but KENTA comes to life, bringing HIS hands up and catching Liger now in the powerbomb position running forward and power bombing Kishin into the corner turnbuckles. KENTA falls back still out of it from the super bump he took only minutes earlier but finally he begins to crawl and places his arm over Liger for 1…2…NO! Kishin just kicks out.
KENTA has now hand enough lifting Liger and whaling into him with forearms, elbows and kicks and then whipping him into the corner, but Kishin comes to life and jumps up onto the second rope, turning but KENTA runs in and cutters him off the second rope to the mat below and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Kishin still is able to kick out.
Some of the crowd begins to erupt in chants of “this is awesome” now as both men lay out of it on the mat, replays shown and then finally the referee moves in and begins to count 1…2…3…4…5…KENTA begins to stir…6….7…Liger begins to stir now….8….both men crawl and begin pulling themselves up on the ropes….9….the referee stops the count as both men and back on their feet now. Kishin turns and runs in going for a lariat but KENTA ducks underneath, goes behind grabs Liger and hoists him up on his shoulders for the GTS. The crowd standing with anticipation and his lifts him going for it…when Kishin spits black poison mist in his face, drops down from his blinded person, grabs him, lifts him up and drives him down with the fisherman buster for 1…2…3!
The crowd boos loudly as Kishin’s music kicks in and he stands, wincing from the pain but snatches his title as Finkle announces it.
“Ladies and Gentleman your winner and STILL the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion: Kishin Liger!”
Liger gnaws and spits at the fans as then berate while he heads up the ramp, when he reaches the top he holds the title up and looks back with content to the ring where KENTA is looking up and whipping the black goo from his face, glares at him as we fade to a video package.
Shamrock VS Joe
The two men make their way out. Shamrock with the cheers, Joe with mostly jeers.
The referee gets in between the two as they walk up and go nose to nose, keeping at least an inch between them as they stare each other down.
“The last time these two men fought it was a war so wild it could not be contained and cost them both a shot at the IC title! Now…it’s just personal” JR calls as Shamrock begins to trash talk, Joe nodding and smiling, saying a few words back. “Shamrock is undefeated since his return to the WWF in June! Joe is a rage filled monster who has been motivated by the dark nature of our new owner!” Cornette yells back “this is gonna be great!”
Finally the referee calls for the bell and signals that they can go at it. But men fall back and then launch forward Joe getting in a side kick but Shamrock whaling away with rights and lefts, his gloves pounding into Joe’s head and stumbling him back towards the ropes until Joe manages to launch forward and tackle Shamrock to the mat. The two struggles with each other on the mat, Shamrock trying to lock in the triangle choke but Joe easies out of it on his feet. Joe joins him and nails into his with a hard roundhouse to the chest which he follows up with a jumping knee to the head that sends the woozy Shamrock back down to the mat below. Joe then reaches down and lifts him up before he referee starts counting and begins hammering into him with straight roundhouse kicks to the chest one after another but on the last one Shamrock grabs it, counters it and turns it into an Ankle lock but Joe is able to kick him off and both men stand and get in a ready stance to go at each other again.
Shamrock comes in now with another straight shot to the head follows by a kick, he then grabs Joe by the waist and takes him over and down with a belly to belly and covering for a 2 count. He lifts Joe up and sends him over with a side belly to belly and covering again for another 2. He lifts Joe up again and goes for a third but this time as the Samoan is lifts up he drops down behind, waits for Shamrock to turn and then nails him hard with a straight kick to the jaw. The sweat flying as Joe goes for the cover and finds two. Joe now lifts Shamrock up and backs him into the corner, backs off and runs in with a high knee to the chest and then a running bulldog out of the corner. Joe then goes to his submissions, grabbing Shamrock and locking him in a butterfly lock. Shamrock struggles in the hold, but finally is able to get a few kicks back into the head of Joe, sending him back and standing running in and grabbing him and again taking him over for the belly to belly but this time dropping back so that Joe flies back first upside down into the corner and drops straight on his head. The crowd reacts as Shamrock pulls Joe out of the corner and covers him for 1…2…NO!
Shamrock is breathing hard now as he scoops Joe back up into his feet and goes back to the strikes nailing on his with rights and lefts to head the head and then grabbing him again for the belly to belly but again Joe is able to reverse it to land on his feet but this time before Shamrock can turns he grabs him and locks in the coquina clutch! The crowd stand, knowing it is over as Shamrock struggles in the hold trying to fight of it and failing, he then begins to whilst, his knees bending and his eyes glazing over as the referee is in his face asking him if he wants to give up. But at the last second his springs to life and in a last ditch effort running backwards and drives Joe back into the corner breaking to hold to a cheer for the fans. He then grabs Joe and sets him up, dropping back for the go-go Plata but Joe reverses it into a pin cover for 1…2…NO!
Shamrock and Joe now stand and begin trading strikes again when again Shamrock grabs go and takes him over and down with a side belly to belly. Instead of covering though he grabs him up and goes towards the corner, rising up and looking like he is going for something big when Joe comes to life hammering into him with right hands and then hooking him dropping back and hitting the Muscle Buster for 1…2…3!
Joe music hits and he is announce the winner as he drops down with conviction out of the ring, snarling and snorting at he heads up the ramp leaving Shamrock laying out in the ring behind him.
Interlude #1
We are now in the interview area with Mean Gene Okerlund. A new dark gothic themed set behind him.
“Ladies and Gentleman, the World Wrestling Federation Champion! Bryan Danielson!”
The crowd cheers as Danielson moves into frame, the title belt on his shoulder.
“Bryan tonight you head into what is undoubtedly the biggest threat to that championship you have ever faced. You are defending that belt against the owner of this company with all the resources of the WWF and his own army behind him where as you go in alone. And if that isn’t enough, even if none of that comes to pass, the man you’re facing is still The Undertaker!”
“Well you kinda spelled it out right there didn’t you Okerlund? Thing is…look? Am I scared? Yeah. And hell I should be. You all know what I did to the Undertaker in spring of this year to win this title in the first place! But the thing is since then I have gone on to hold this title for as long as he did! Nine months! And in that time I have become a man, and I have become a true champion!”
The crowd cheer but Cornette scoffs on commentary.
“Tonight I can’t feel fear, I won’t feel fear because while I walk that aisle alone against all those odds I still have my pride and I still have my ability. If the Undertaker things he will take this title easy tonight then he better think again…but if this is the last time I walk this road as Champion rest assured that I am taking him down with me!” With that he walks off screen and Okerlund moves to the centre.
“Well it sure will be a hell of a title match and it will be later tonight!”
Tag Team Championship
The challengers make their way out first to a mixed reaction. “They are innocents but have been caught in the cross fire of this war and that motivation may bring them the titles tonight” JR comments. The Machine Guns are next to a huge pop from the crowd; these are indeed the people’s champions. The bell rings are we are underway.
We start off with Naito and Sabin. They circle each other and then quickly come forward and lock up. Naito grabs an arm bar right out of it but Sabin rolls forward over the arm to the mat turns and rolls on the other direction to his feet and then grabbing Naito’s arm now for an arm bar of his own. Naito reverses it into a lock again but then hammers a blow to the hand breaking the chain and then driving a kick to the gut and grabbing a side headlock on Sabin now.

Sabin holds his back as he turns over and Naito comes in again on the attack hitting the ropes again but Sabin catches him coming in with a running knee to the gut. He then grabs him by the head and throws him into his corner tagging in Shelly now. The referee starts counting as Sabin grabs Naito by the head a pulls him back, Shelly going to the top rope and rallying the crowd before flying off the top rope with a double axe handle to the back of Naito held by Sabin. Shelly now goes to work as Sabin leaves the ring.
Shelly raises Naito up and slaps away hard on the chest with a back hand chop backing him into the ropes but it’s near No Limit’s corner and Yujiro tags bind tags himself in. Shelly not knowing keeps working on the arm of Naito. Naito is able to reverse it and send Shelly into the ropes as Yujiro comes in. Naito catches him and lifts him up in a flapjack holding himself towards Yujiro who jumps up high for a dropkick to the chest, Naito letting go and letting Shelly fall to the mat hard and then heads out to his corner as Yujiro goes to work now and then goes for a cover for 1…2…NO!

They both grab an arm and back Shelly into the ropes whipping him across the ring now. Yujiro catches him coming in with a hip toss as Naito hits the ropes and follows it up with a running dropkick to the head. That gets a clap from some of the crowd but they aren’t done. Yujiro runs in and hits a running leg drop; Naito runs in from the other side and nails a running standing Swanton! Shelly is getting absolutely hammered from all sides, laying on the mat in pain as No Limit stand over him and taunting the crowd. The referee now comes over and begins orders Naito out of the ring, warning and the counting as he protests. But as soon as Naito goes to his corner he comes right back out of it breaking the count and laughing in the referee’s face about it as both go back to the double team on Shelly. Whipping him across the ring but Shelly catches himself on the top rope to the fans delight.

Shelly backs off but then hits the ropes and come in hard with a closeline but Yujiro moves out of the way and Shelly takes Sabin’s head off with a closeline! Shelly holds his head and barely has time to react turning around and it taken down with a spear from Yujiro. Both men are down now and the crowd are alive, clapping and stomping as both men start to move towards their corners, Naito now back in his and willing Yujiro on. He finally is able to leap forward and tags in Naito. Naito runs the apron and goes straight to the opposite top rope, waiting for Shelly to stand in the ring and then flying off with a missile dropkick.

But as Yujiro stands in comes Shelly again grabbing him and dropping back with a complete shot. He then picks up Naito and shoots him into the rope but Naito jumps up and hitting a flying forearm.
Naito taunts the crowd now and sets both opponents up for something climbing the top rope with his back to them but both the Guns get back on their feet. Sabin pulling him down, backing him into the corner and hitting a hard reverse kick to the gut, backing off as Shelly does them same on the apron both pointing at Naito and then both running forward in the ring and on apron and just as Sabin nails a running high knee Shelly hits the jumping kick to the back off the head. The crowd go nuts for the move and the guns now as Sabin calls for it and goes behind, grabbing Naito and lifting him up under the arm as Shelly goes to the top rope. Sabin lifts Naito up now onto the second ropes himself. Shelly in front on the top rope, Sabin behind in the ring. Naito tries to fight out of it but to no avail as Sabin goes underneath into the powerbomb position Shelly having facing away and having Naito over his shoulder in the cutter position. Then as Shelly hits the powerbomb Sabin floats over and hits sliced bread 2! The Made in Detroit .The crowd as going insane for the move as Shelly covers for 1…2…NO! Yujiro is back and breaks up the pin, the crowd letting out a massive collective “oh!”
Sabin now runs in and grabs him backing him into the corner and lifting him onto the top rope, Jumping onto him and rolling back for a frakensteiner and hitting it but Yujiro reverses it into a sunset flip cover for 1…2….NO! Shelly just breaks it up!
The crowds have not sat down for minuets now, going insane and now clapping and stomping for all the downed men who lay out on the mat to get up. Finally they all do and begin slugging it out with everything they have left. Naito now runs for the ropes and comes in but is caught and dropped with a standing frakensteiner from Sabin. Yujiro now runs in and it grabbed by Shelly. They then boot Yujiro out of the ring and then set Naito up and drop him with the Skull and Bones; Falling neckbreaker from Sabin, Diving cross body from Shelly combo and Shelly covers for 1…2…3!
The crowd explodes as they Shelly falls back to the mat and Motor City’s music plays. The arena give a standing ovation for that match as now Sabin grabs the title belts, handing Shelly his.
“Wow! Now that ladies and Gentleman is what you call tag team action! One hell of a defense from the Guns! Those kids are the deserving and true champions no doubt after that one!” JR yells over the noise. “I don’t know much but I know about Tag Team’s and I hate to agree with you Ross but yeah…damn!” Cornette responds.
Sabin and Shelly drop to their knees hugging each other and holding their title belts in their hands in victory when….
*Play Mankind*
“Congratulations Gentleman” the crowd is booing incessantly at Foley now “indeed you are great champions and have earned them here tonight. But see…the thing is your previous actions of standing against the Undertaker’s Order and your own words are about to come back to the bite you and ruin this night for you. Roll the tape!”
The Guns frown as they stand and look at the Titantron as on it plays the clip from last week’s Raw where they bad mouthed and defiantly spoke out against the Undertaker and the Dominion.
“That was a very bad idea boys. And if you think there won’t be repercussions then you are gravely mistaken. Because as punishment you are now going to a have a second title defense tonight…against these men!”
*Play out Hayabusa and Kishin*
The crowd boos gets insanely louder as Kishin Liger and Hayabusa emerge, their own singles titles already around their waist.
“Oh come on!” JR yells.
Both men smile evilly and sadistically as they enter the ring together.
“Ring the bell referee, and get those belts off of them as well!” Mankind orders with glee.
The referee looks unhappy about it, dejected as he steps forward and orders the Guns to surrender their title belt. They argue with him and plead but the referee simply replies and “I know” and takes them.
“Ring the bell!” Mankind yells.
The bell rings and at once Hayabusa and Kishin run in hammering on the worn down champions and beating them into the mat.
“This is ridicules! The Guns just defended their belts in hard lengthy defense and now this!” JR yells in protest on commentary. “Hey, Kishin and Hayabusa had hard title matches earlier too” Cornette retorts. “That was half a PPV ago!” “That’s why it’s called a punishment JR. If they hadn’t…” “I know.” “And you better too. “I know!”
The Guns try desperately to fight back with all they have left but Kishin drops Sabin with a Fisherman buster, Hayabusa nails Shelly with a Falcon Arrow and then heads to the top and flies off and down onto Sabin with the Phoenix Splash for 1…2…3!
The boos are thunderous, garbage being thrown into the ring at them as Hayabusa’s music plays and they are handed the title belts by the reluctant referee. Both snatch the belts and Kishin chases the referee out the ring. Mankind grins broadly from the ramp as now both the Dark sides of Hayabusa and Liger stick out their tongues to the crowd; hold up with both hands both their singles and now tag titles and then leave the ring, leaving the former champions on the mat.
“And the worst part of this is” JR says solemnly “nobody can do anything about it.”
Women’s Championship: No DQ
Trish comes out first to a good positive reaction. Kong is next to a strong response from a good section of the crowd.
“The crowd here in San Antonio are split right down the middle here. Half for Trish, half for Kong. Who will walk out Champion?” Asks JR as the two stare each other down in the ring,
The bell rings and Trish reels back striking the first blow, and another and another until finally Kong blocks her and then grabs her head and smashes down into it with a head but. The crowd reaction as Trish stumbles away woozy, holding her forehead and backing off for a moment and then turning and going in striking Kong back with hard closeline. That stumbles Kong back on her feet but she then answers back pushing Trish down onto the mat. Trish rolls through and get straight back up running in at her again but now Kong catches her and again hammers into her with a head but, and another and again. Trish now drops down to her knees before the champion. Kong reaches down and picks Trish up, slamming her down onto the mat with a power slam and covering for 2.
She picks Trish up and scoops her up again for another slam but this time Trish falls down onto her feet and kicks Kong in the gut and dropping her finally with a swinging neckbreaker. Trish covers her but Kong kicks out with authority, pushing Trish off and sending her flying across the ring. Trish manages to her get her footing back and comes in again but Kong catches her coming in and drives her down with a spine buster and covering for 1…2…NO!
Kong lifts Trish up by the head and drives her face first into the corner, placing her around back into it and then hammering into her with a shot and then an elbow in the corner. Kong backs up and comes running in but Trish is able to get her feet up and kicks Kong in the mouth, stumbling her back and then heading to the top rope and flying off with a diving axe handle, but Kong does not go down, simply stumbling back on her feet. Trish then runs for the ropes and comes in hitting Awesome Kong with a closeline and she stumbles again, Trish then hits a standing dropkick and that sends Kong falling back over the top rope, but she lands on her feet Undertaker style on the mats outside. Kong reaches up with both hands and starts to pull herself up on the apron but Trish run in and dropkicks her back down. Kong stumbles back and around on the mat, turning just as Trish uses the top rope to springboard herself down onto Kong taking her out.
The front row are chanting Trish’s name as she grabs Kong by the head and slams her face first into the top ring step and then reels her back with the arm and Irish whips Kong over the steps breaking them into their two halves with a hard impact. Kong uses the remaining bottom section of steps to push herself up but Trish is right there, running in and dropping back DDTing Kong on the bottom ring steps! The crowd is really getting into this one now as Trish continues the assault, going under the ring and grabbing herself a steel chair coming over and waiting for Kong to rise before bashing her head in with it. Kong stumbles back again but doesn’t go down so Trish follows her as Kong walks backwards around the ring and strikes her again twice with the chair until finally Kong falls to her knees. She then grabs her by the head runs up and over the guardrail to drive her head into it but Kong reverses it, lifting Trish up and smashes her down ribs first on the security wall! The front row reacts and wince with the rest of the crowd as they are pushes back by the security and Trish cries out and holds herself in pain. “She could have broken ribs after that one! Man!” Cornette comments.
Kong now steps over the guard rail and as Trish starts to rise and back into the crowd hammers into her. Out of pure preservation Trish fights back and the two brawl back and forth in the crowd until Kong is able to boot Trish in the gut and Irish whip her into and falling over the wall again. Trish cries out again holding her ribs.
“Oh man, Kong is like a shark smelling blood with Trish’s ribs now” JR tells us.
Kong now grabs Trish and rolls her back into the ring. Going under the ring and pulling out a table and pushing that into the ring. Kong hammers Trish down again and then turns perching the table up in the corner and grabbing Trish, pulling her into the powerbomb position as the crowd begin to stand in anticipation. “Oh no” JR lets out as Kong turns towards the table. Kong reaches down and hoists Trish up onto her shoulders but at the last second Trish is able to reverse it into a monkey flip sending Kong flying upside down through the table to a loud pop from the capacity crowd. Trish holds her ribs and takes a few moments to recover as the crowd reacts and then grabs Kong by the arm and drags her out of the corner and covers for 1…2…NO! Kong just kicks out!
Trish reacts in shock and then pain, still favoring her ribs as she stands and crouches, waiting for Kong to stand and then nailing her with a chick kick and covering for 1…2…NO! Kong kicks out again to massive “oh!” From the crowd.
Trish picks Kong up again and continues to hammer into and work the head, backing Kong into the corner and mounting her for the ten punches 1…2…3…4…5…6…7… at 7 Kong lifts her hands up, and walks forward out of the corner with Trish on her shoulders and drops her down with a powerbomb. Hooking the legs, the awed crowd counting along, 1…2….NO! Trish gets the shoulder up to everyone’s amazement, not in the least Kongs.
Awesome Kong stands now and goes out of the ring, getting another table and pushes it into the ring, then goes over and grabs the top of the ring steps they used earlier and with one heave throws it into the ring. Kong now comes into the ring and grabs the steps, waiting for Kong to stand and then running in with them but Trish reverses it drop toe holding Kong down face first onto the steps. Trish has now brought herself some time, taking a moment for a break and then standing, kicking the steps away and grabbing herself the table, setting it up in the centre of the ring and turning, picking Kong up by the head and pointing at the corner as the crowd react. She runs up it and turns going for the Stratisfaction through the table but Kong is able to reverse it and push her off, sending Trish crashing down hard through the table!
“My God! These two women are killing each other! These two women want so badly to be champion that they indeed destroying themselves and each other here!” JR calls as Kong rolls over and covers Trish for 1…2…NO!!!! Trish kicks out and the place explodes as Kong holds her head and falls to the mat, hammering it with the rage of an elephant and shaking the ring with it.
She takes a moment and then stands, grabbing Trish and pulling her in for the Implant buster but Trish breaks her grip, comes up and kicks with the chick kick but Kong ducks underneath it and grabs Trish again and driving her down with the Implant buster for 1…2… The lights cut out.
*Play Kendra*
Kong gets off of Trish and the crowd boos heavily as Kendra comes storming down the aisle and into the ring, hammering into Kong with clubbing blows and then taking her head off with a big boot.
Back in the aisle way Daffney now emerges with a microphone.
“Everyone, ladies and gentleman may I have your attention please! As you can see Kendra is late and because of that my last minute change to this match has not been added to the run sheet…but she’s her now and yes everyone this match is now a Triple Threat match! Enjoy!” She grins devilishly as boos reign down at her.
“I have had just about enough of this s…” “JR!” Cornette guts him off “probation remember.”
Kendra now picks Trish up and throws her out of the ring, turning her attention back to Kong and going behind looking in the sleeper hold. Kong has no fight left and begins to fade, slumping to the mat. The referee comes over and lifts her arm once…twice…three times!
Just light the last match the crowd start throwing debris into the ring, booing and jeering mercilessly as Kendra’s music hits and it is announced.
“Ladies and Gentleman your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Kendra!”
We cannot see her mouth but know Kendra is smiling as she holds the belt up in victory, Daffney applauding in the aisle way.
“This is BS!” JR cries “JR…” “No! I don’t care Cornette! Kong and Trish had a war out here and killed each other just so this vulture can pick up the pieces! That’s the second match here that a dominion member has stolen a title! And she calls herself a champion! Damn it! Damn the Undertaker this whole thing!”
Kendra now drops down out of the ring, throwing the title belt on her shoulder and marching up the ramp leaving Kong and Trish lying out behind her.
Angle and AJ VS the Brood
Angle is out first to a loud pop. AJ is next to a great reaction is well. The two nod to each other and meet at the bottom of the ramp, walking towards the ring when from behind come the Brood taking then out and stomping away on them on the floor. The crowd is starting to get used to the booing as it starts again now. Edge picks up Angle and throws him hard into the steel steps. Christian smashes AJ’s head off the ring post and throws him into the ring joining him as finally the referee calls for the bell.
*Play ring bell*
Christian continues hammering into AJ on the mat and then stands, holding the ropes and stomping the hell out of him as well. He then picks AJ up and drags him over to his corner, tagging in Edge and then taking AJ over with a snapmare followed by a hard boot to the face from Edge. Christian goes out onto the apron as Edge continues beating on AJ and then picks him up and drives him down with a reverse sit out face buster. He then picks him up and throws him into Christian’s outstretched boot and tagging him back in. Christian continues stomping away and then picks AJ up and shoots him into the ropes. AJ counters and the crowd come alive and he stops himself and hammers into Christian with a hard show but Christian answers right back with a hard right hand taking him back down. He then moves over and tags Edge back in and then both of them come in on the double team now booting AJ from both sides of the mat and then lifting him up and dropping him down hard to the mat face first with a double flapjack. Cover for 1…2…NO! AJ kicks out.
Edge lifts his head up of the mat in the rear face lock and then reels his elbow back and hammers the point of it down hard multiple times to AJ’s face. He then lifts him up and tags in Christian, placing AJ on his shoulders in the electric chair position as Christian goes to the top rope.
“Doomsday Device?” Asks JR.
Christian does indeed fly off the top rope but instead float over AJ and Edge falls back hitting a falling neckbreaker. The smart members of the crowd clap for that as Christian now covers for 1…2…AJ just kicks out again!
Christian is annoyed but continues on him lifting him up and throwing him into the corner, hammering away on him in it and then hitting a snap suplex then going over and tagging Edge back in again. Edge now has had enough and drops down in the corner, his eyes wide and his hand signaling the spear. AJ finally rises up with the ropes help and turns, Edge bolting out of the corner for it but at the last second AJ leaps up and smashes Edge down with a hard side kick to the head. The smack is heard throughout the arena, Christian curses and the people explode.
The crowd start to clap and stomp, willing AJ up as now Kurt Angle is back in the corner holding the tag rope and outstretching his hand for the tag. The stomps and claps get louder and louder as AJ slowly starts to crawl towards Angle, he screaming out for AJ to move faster seeing Edge moving towards his corner now. Tag to Christian! Finally AJ leaps up but is pulled back by Christian, the air let out of the crowd who boo’s as Angle whacks the corner in frustration.
Christian continues to hammer into AJ with a fury now, you can see his desperation to win and get back into the good books of the Phenom. He lifts AJ up now and drops him with a dragon suplex and covering for 1…2…NO! He picks AJ straight up again but and locks in the rear chin and wrist lock, pulling on both with his cupped hands and yelling for AJ to tap. But he holds on, shaking his head at the referee and deterred Christian breaks it and lifts him up, whipping him to the corner and following up with a hard running dropkick in the corner and then moving over and tagging Edge back in. Edge moves in now and grabs AJ back up, dropping him down with the Impaler DDT and covering for 1…2…NO! Angle stomps on Edge and breaks it up to the crowd delight. The referee gets in Angles face but Angle just sneers at him and gives him the finger to a loud pop and then heads back to the corner and holding out his hand again.
But The Brood and still in control and AJ is still in trouble, Edge grabs him by the head and drives him face first into the corner, tagging Christian back in and the two double stomp AJ down in the corner until the referee forces Edge back onto the ring apron. Christian picks AJ back up again now and drops him with the reverse DDT and covering again for 1…2…NO! Again AJ kicks out. Christian slams the mat and picks AJ up again, setting him up for another reverse DDT but this time AJ kicks off and floats over countering it into a tornado DDT. The crowd explodes as AJ falls down to the mat. Angle begins whacking the turnbuckle, the audience and stomping and clapping louder than ever, shouting with Angle for AJ to get to the corner and tag him. AJ slowly starts to move but so does Christian both crawling to their corner Christian closer. AJ is nearly there when leaping tag to Edge. Edge comes running in across the ring and again just pulls AJ back by the leg but this time AJ turns and turns it into an ensurguri, turning, leaping and….hot tag to Angle to a huge roar from the crowd.
Angle comes running in like a house on fire grabbing Christian and taking her over with a belly to belly. Edge runs in now and is captured and taken over with a belly to belly as well. Angle goes behind the rising Christian, the place going bananas, German suplex to Christian, and German suplex to Edge. Angle rises up his face and that of fire as no one in the arena is sitting, the noise level louder than anything as Angle cries out, stomps and pulls his straps down. Turning and grabbing the rising Edge from behind hitting him with another German but keeping the waist locked, standing as the crowd build up in anticipation and drops him again with a second German. And keeps the wait locked again and the crowd build up again and down and again with a 3rd German suplex. He finally now breaks it and turns the crowd’s noise at a fever pitch as he crouches and stomps behind Christian now yelling “get up you son of a bitch!” And as he does comes him behind and drops him with an Angle Slam and covering for 1…2…NO! Edge just breaks it up.
Edge goes wild now beating and then stomping on Angle lifting him up and dropping him with the Impaler DDT, standing and dropping back into the corner, signaling for it and flying out the corner as Angle stands for the Spear but from the side comes in AJ hitting a with a running dropkick sends Edge flying back. AJ yells at Kurt and now goes back to the apron. Angle now rises and tags in AJ. AJ comes in now on Christian but Christian tags in Edge who is now back on the apron. Edge comes running in going straight for the spears but AJ sides steps it, waits for Edge to turn and then nails him with a Pele kick and covering for 1…2…NO! Edge kicks out. AJ now heads outside and to the top rope flying off and down with a frog splash and covering for 1….2….NO! Christian is back and breaks it up.
In comes Angle now, grabbing Christian from behind and hitting an Angle Slam just as AJ picks Edge up and drops him with the Styles Clash, rolling him over for 1…2..3!
The crowd roar in approval as AJ’s music hits and Finkle calls it.
“Your winners Kurt Angle and AJ Styles!”
The two celebrate with the crowd, yelling with conviction as they get their hands raised. They then turn to each other and shakes hands. Finally all seems well when….the lights cut out. When they come back up Gabriel and Mankind and behind them and hammer into them to loud boos. Edge and Christian now get back and join them, it turning into a four on two Dominion assault now. Edge and Christian now break away and drop out of the ring getting themselves steel chairs. The crowd yells out in dread as now Angle rises and wham! Gets nailed with a conchairto! AJ is now pulls up by Mankind and Gabriel and then he gets hit with a conchairto as well. The crowd boos incessantly and the four men stand over the winners, “but they don’t look like it” comments JR, Edge and Christian placing their feet over them and holding up the chairs as we fade out.
Interlude #2
We are now in a dark room with Gene Okerlund, his features highlighted by the low dim light on his face.
“L…Ladies and Gentleman, the challenger for the World Wrestling Federation Championship and the owner of the World Wrestling Federation; The Undertaker!”
The live crowd boos as the Undertaker walks into the light, his features now highlighted as well.
“So Okerlund, we have reached the moment, the end for Bryan’s title reign. Tonight his reign of decadence ends and my reign of purity will begin.”
“What about the matches we just saw? The lengths your regime is going to screw over…”
“Screwed? That’s a funny word. First and foremost that word makes me think of the man I fired and hope is having his home repossessed Bret Hart! But it’s also a word Bryan should be very familiar with. You see he screwed me out of the title he has held too long in April, and he screwed me with his buddy’s a Judgment Day. Well tonight with those crimes in mind I stand in judgment upon Bryan Danielson. And I will be his judge jury and executioner. Yes, I ordered what happened in the last three matches. You see when you cross me you must pay a penance and for those men and women it was a costly one. But Bryan….oh how he crossed me. But as much as I would love to see him torn apart by an army of men by my order, I want far more to do so alone, myself. No there will be no screwing, no interference in this one. Tonight I finish what I should have finished a long time ago by my own hand. I end Bryan Danielson and his joke of a reign. He was only champion this long because I allowed him to be but now…it’s time to pay penance for your sins!”
With that he walks out of shoot and heads towards the ring as we cut to a video package.
*Play Bryan VS Taker Package*
Bryan is out first and looking nervous and rightful so but he gets a good response from the live crowd. Undertaker is next with his usual awing style to loud boos and jeers from his once adoring public. In ring announcing for this one as both man stands in wait.
Undertaker stares his dark eyes over the ring glaring at Danielson, but his face saying it all, “finally.” Danielson just stares back with determination, unhooking the title belt, kissing it and handing it to the referee who holds it up. The Undertaker looks at it almost with salvation as it’s brought over to him.
“Nine months ago Bryan Danielson cashed in money in the bank. And here we are now finally seeing the culmination, the end result of that. Bryan Danielson is a long running and now great champion, the Undertaker is a twisted tyrannical version of the man he was but he wants that title back and he wants revenge” JR tells us the story as the two begin to move towards each other, the referee in between them.
Finally the referee calls for the bell, Undertaker shuffles around opposite Bryan who does the same. The two circling each other as Bryan goes to a catch stance, Undertaker lifting his fists ready to strike. Undertaker swings with a punch finally but Bryan ducks underneath and nails Taker with a back hand chop to the chest. Undertaker stands his ground, not showing any effect of it and moves in again on the stanching and moving Bryan. Finally Bryan backs into a corner waiting for Undertaker to strike and when he does ducks underneath it again and backs the Phenom into the corner now nailing him with repeated chops to the chest. He continues hammering away until Undertaker brings up the arms and blocks it then with both hands grabs Bryan around the throat and pushes him away. Bryan rolls back but does so onto his feet and comes in again but Taker has got out of the corner now and he follows. Bryan gets in a shot to gut and then backs Taker into the ropes whipping him across the ring as he comes in Taker swings again but Bryan again goes underneath and goes for a hard shot but Undertaker lifts his hand and grabs the fist, holding it there looking down at Bryan with predatory eyes. Undertaker twists the arm down and then grabs Bryan by the neck with both hands again, throwing him hard in the corner but Bryan jumps up from it onto the second rope, waiting for Taker to come swing in and leaps over him to the mat behind. Taker turns and comes in but Bryan hits the ropes now and nails and standing cross body block into a cover but only finds one.
Bryan hits the ropes again and comes in for another but this time Taker catches him horizontally out of the air and turns it into a scoop power slam. Undertaker stands, scooping Bryan up instead of going for the pin and whips him into the ropes and as he rebounds back takes his head off with a hard big boot. As the crowd reacts Undertaker looks down upon the form laid out Bryan on the mat with sick satisfaction. He reaches down and picks him up again but Bryan comes to life hammering into the torso and then the head, the hitting the rope and nailing a running high knee that taker the Phenom down. As Undertaker stands he backs into the ropes again and now nails a chop block taking the wheel out from under him. He then grabs himself a long black leg and starts to work on it, kicking at the knee joint and the driving the point of the elbow down into it and locking in a leg lock. Taker lifts his head and winces in the hold, Bryan now standing hooking the leg and dropping back to almost DDT to the leg and then turns Undertaker over and locks in the single legged Boston crab. Undertaker yells out in pain from the leg, reaching for the ropes as the referee gets in his face. He struggle in the hold for a few moment before finally being able to turn over and kick Bryan off and back. Bryan jumps up onto the second rope before Taker can stand, moving his leg to get feeling back into it and turning as Bryan comes off the second rope with a knee but Undertaker reaches up and a hand and snatches Bryan by the throat out of the air. The crowd reacts loudly and stands as Taker turns and goes for the chokeslam but Bryan counters kicking at the injured knee forcing Taker to reel back holding it and then nails a dropkick that sends the Undertaker back into the ropes.
Bryan stands and runs right back in the ropes Phenom but Taker counters it into a back body drop however Bryan counters that and lands on the feet of the apron, runs the length of the ring apron Flair style and heads to the top rope as Taker turn to face him and flies off taking the Undertaker body with a diving knee press. Bryan stands again now and heads back to the top rope on the other side, throwing caution to the wind to keep the advantage as Taker stands and turns, flying off again but this time Taker brings up the boot and big boots him down out of the air to a massive “oh!” From the live crowd.
Undertaker lifts Bryan up and drops him with a scoop slam, following that with a leg drop but not covering as usual. Shaking his head as he scoops Bryan up again and hoists him up, walking forward and dropping him onto the top rope with snake eyes than hitting the ropes and coming taking Bryan down again with his flying closeline. Again no cover but simply scoops Bryan back up and now grabs the arm twisting it, his face that of pure enjoyment is he twists the arm and enjoys watching Bryan squirm and cry out in pain, going under the arm and wrenching it in more and the jolted forward and driving his shoulder into Bryan’s arm and watching him fall to the mat in pain. Taker does not let up though keep hold of the arm and pulls Bryan hard back to his feet,
ARMAGEDDON 2010
We open with an a song used for every event of this name but never have the lyrics been so apt. “The end is here” he cut together with footage of Survivor Series and of Bryan Danielson’s Championship reign and 2010 timeline with the Undertaker.
“Indeed the end may be here for Bryan Danielson’s Championship reign. It was for the World Wrestling Federation as we knew it last month and indeed tonight marks the beginning of a new era. The question simply remains to be asked it’s just for the company or for its World Championship as well?” JR calls as we pan the jam packed wild crowd and then fade to the announce table “hello everyone Jim Ross here live from San Antonio Texas and what a night it will be. All the titles on the line and anything could happen with the new regime around here.”
“Well first of all I resent your tone, secondly why didn’t you introduce me? You did for King and Gorilla!” Cornette chimes in.
“Yeah I was getting round to it…”
“Jim Cornette here everybody, the voice of unbiased open minded and not being stuck in tradition. And tonight it’s the last PPV of the years and it will be the last PPV of Bryan Danielson’s championship reign. Trust me, I know I helped him win it and keep it this long!”
“Indeed it may be. Not only has Bryan been assaulted these past few weeks but now he has to get in there with the one and only Undertaker and I don’t like he chances. But first we have our opening X Division Champion match! Howard.”
X Division Championship
“Ladies and Gentleman your opening contest” calls Finkle “is for the World Wrestling Federation X Division Championship!”
Owen is out first to a good positive response. Hayabusa is out next to a mixed reaction, mostly boos.
As soon as the bell rings the two go hard and fast for each other, trading blows until Hayabusa nails a kick to the chest, Owen answers back with one of his own, and then Hayabusa again with his but Owen catches it and turns it into an ensurguri. The Dark Phoenix stumbles back on his feet now and Owen comes it but Hayabusa comes back to life nailing him with a head-but and then driving him down with an H Edge, Hayabusa’s version of the booker end. He leaves him lying on the mat and jumps over the top rope to his feet on the floor and goes under the ring, searching and finding himself a hard, thick plank of 2 by 4 wood. He grabs hold and rolls into the ring, standing as Owen begins to rise and holding the plank between his hands and looking it, reeling it back and cracking it down hard over Owens head at he looks up. That gets a “oh!” Reaction from the crowd, some wincing from the impact. Owen falls back, out of it straight to the mat as Darkside of Hayabusa cackles to himself and licks his lips in sadistic satisfaction. He walks over with no regard for him opponent and places a foot lighting over Owens head for 1…2…NO! Owen kicks out!
Hayabusa seems annoyed and picks Owen up and dropping him down with another H Edge for 1…2…NO!
Hayabusa moves over now and wraps his legs in a scissors around Owens head, sitting down and locking in the reverse head scissor vice. Owe is able to reverse it someone rolling onto his knees and sitting up turning it into an Electric chair drop but Hayabusa rolls forward and turns it into a victory roll for 1…2…NO!
Both men get up and come for each other again, Owen now able to grab a side headlock and take Hayabusa over and down to the mat, locking in the hold. Hayabusa is able to power out of it onto his feet and shoot Owen off into the ropes, leapfrogging over his coming in and then waiting for him again before taking him over with a hip toss but Hayabusa keeps the arm held rolling through and manages to launch Owen flying headfirst with a splat into the ring post. Darkside of Hayabusa now drops out of the ring again and grabs a trash can full of Kendo sticks and throws it into the ring, he then grabs and chair and brings that in with him. Reeling back and smacking Owen hard over the shoulder with it, throwing it to the mat grabbing Hart, hosting him up and driving him down with a pulling piledriver onto the chair. He now goes for a cover for 1…2…NO! Owen kicks out again.
“Man this Darkside of Hayabusa is one stick bastard!” Cornette exclaims. “Indeed. And Owen is not at all used to this style, it may be too much for him to overcome but give the man credit; he has managed to survive and hang in there so far” JR replies.
Hayabusa not sets the chair up, runs for the ropes, jumps up onto a chair and onto the ropes and down with the atomic Arabian moonsault but Owen not only moves at the last second but manages to pull the chair in the path of Hayabusa’s descent leaving him to crash and crumble on the seated chair ribs first! The crowd let out a massive reaction as Hayabusa holds his ribs and rolls around on the mat.
Owen stands now grabbing himself and chair, hosting it up and driving it hard into the back of the X Division Champion.
“Owen Hart is adapting!” JR calls out “Owen Hart is playing Dark side’s game!”
Owen now grabs himself and Kendo stick and walks over, lifting it and cracking it hard over the head of Hayabusa once, twice, three times! One the third it breaks in half! He then grabs the head and drives him down with the DDT for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa kicks out! Owen scoops him up again and drives him down with a gut wrench suplex for 1…2…NO! Again the kick out.
He picks Hayabusa up again but this time Hayabusa nails a straight kicks and jumps up onto the shoulders, taking him over and down with a hurricanrana. Both men stand again and Owen runs in to be taken down by a flying roundhouse kick, Hayabusa then runs the ring, jumps up onto the top rope and flies off and down onto Owen with a springboard moonsault for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa stands and goes for it again, but this time Owen gets to his feet and as Hayabusa springboards off the top and upside down towards him Owen catches him and turns it into the sit down tombstone piledriver for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa kicks out again. Owen gets to his knees and can’t believe it, now heading to the top rope and standing to come off when Hayabusa stands, grabs a Kendo stick, runs up and cracks it over his head. He then joins Owen on the top rope with the stick in one hand, holding Owen with the other and then turning him around and places the stick over his neck, hooking the leg with his own and falling off and down with a Kendo Stick Russian leg sweep from the top rope and covering for 1…2…NO! Hayabusa is enraged that that didn’t get the win, picking up the stick and angrily cracking it over his knee, picking Owen up and driving him down with a spinning Falcon Arrow before heading to the top rope and flying off and down with the Phoenix Splash for 1…2…3!
Darkside of Hayabusa’s music plays as he gets his hands raised, he pulls away from the ref and holding himself and he growls and spits at the fans before kicking Owen one more time and heading out of the ring and up the ramp , being handed the belt on the way and leaving still the X Division Champion.
Intercontinental Championship
KENTA makes his way out first to a pip pop from his growing supporters. Liger makes his way out to thunderous boos (no pun intended) and simply snarls back at them, spitting black poison mist as he stands on the corner.
The bell rings and Liger snarls at KENTA who simply looks back with stone faced determination. The black liquid is still all over Kishin’s mouth and chin, almost looking like black blood as the two begin to circle each other. Kishin goes for a side kick to the legs but KENTA moves his out of the way and the two continue shuffling around opposite each other, another kick to the leg and again KENTA shuffles out the way. They both now continue circling and then launch forward locking up, KENTA able to grab a side headlock but Liger back’s him into the ropes and shoot him off to bounce off the opposite ropes coming in, Liger drops down and lets KENTA pass over then as he comes in jumps up and nails him right in the mouth with a wheel kick. He grins with sick satisfaction, backing KENTA up, pulling him straight with his hair and whaling away on him with a back hand chop, and another, sounding like gun shoot as Liger hissings and licks up the pleasure of the pain he is causing. KENTA is backed into the corner now and Kishin continues the hard back hand chops, finally now turning to palm strikes, right and left over and over to the chest taking the wind out of the challenger and then jumping up to finish it with a jumping round house but KENTA catches the leg out of the air and drives him into the mat with it. The crowd applauds as KENTA comes in now, Liger running in and getting taken over with a drop back arm drag. Now both stand and run in for each other again, Liger roaring with dark rage and taking KENTA down now with an arm breaker arm drag and hoisting the arm, pulling it out its socket and locking in the hold. It is broken and both stand again, now KENTA hitting a low kick but Kishin fires back with a hard shot to the face, KENTA swings now with a round house kick but Kishin ducks it and lets him past over to stand with his back to him and then goes for a kick himself but KENTA turns and move his head just back out the way, he leg just sailing by. Both men go to a ready stance and stare each other down, some of the crowd erupting in applause as KENTA continues the steely glare and Liger gives it back, lifting his forearm up to whip his mouth of the black liquid from his chin.
Both men come in now and lock up again, KENTA backing Liger into the ropes and then cleanly breaking as the referee orders it but then brings his hand up and with full force slaps Kishin across the face, his face paint smudging off onto KENTA’s hand it’s so hard. Kishin goes wide eyed untamed dark rage and cries out as he runs in for KENTA now but KENTA grabs him with one hand and nails him with a elbow to face with the other, and another, Liger answers back with a back hand chop, KENTA with a elbow, chop from Liger, elbow from KENTA, kick from Liger, kick from KENTA back and forth it goes until KENTA hits the ropes and comes it but Liger grabs him coming in and goes behind dropping him with a Randy Orton style backbreaker. He then goes for a quick cover and gets 2.
Liger turns KENTA over now and goes to the legs, dropping back and locking in the bow and arrow lock, synching it in and reveling in the loud painful screams coming from KENTA. KENTA looks in extreme pain but somehow is able to kick and force him way out of it, dropping down and covering for 1…2…NO! Both men now are on their knees and go for each other like amateur wrestler’s grappling for each other and finally after a struggle KENTA is able to force Liger to his back on the mat and mouth him, trying to hold him down for a pin and failing, Liger then able to roll over and turn it around putting KENTA on the mat now and mounting him, now nailing into him with hard right hands to the unprotected head. KENTA tries to get his hands up but Liger keeps then pinned with his legs and continues whaling away. Eventually now standing and hissing at the crowd before heading to the corner and rising up onto the second rope, waiting for KENTA to stand and flying off but KENTA catches him on his shoulders and drops him down with a death valley driver for 1….2….NO! Kishin kicks out! KENTA now grabs Liger and brings him up by the head seating him up for the fisherman buster but Kishin blocks it and turns it into a fisherman driver but KENTA reverses that and turns it into a Tiger Suplex into a bridge for 1…2…NO! Kenta now lifts Liger’s head up and locks in a side headlock. Liger struggles in the hold for a moment but is eventually able to power onto his feet and jumping back, head still on the hold and as he drops back to the mat turns into a tornado DDT for 1…2…NO!
Kishin now has the advantage and won’t give it up, lifting KENTA up and throwing his shoulder first into the corner, coming in begin and grabbing him by the waist, dropping him back and down with a bridging German suplex for 1…2…NO! KENTA rolls through turning it into a pin of his own for 1…2…NO! Both men rise up again Liger running for KENTA but KENTA catches him coming in lifting him up with a flapjack and then as he drops turning it into a cutter! Cover for 1…2…NO!
KENTA is now out of his feet with fatigue as he rising up but will not give up the opportunity grabbing Liger and lifting him up but Liger nails him in the gut with a kick, sets him up and drives him down with the fisherman buster for 1…2…NO! The crowd roars for the kick out and then erupt in applause as both men fall out of it on the mat. They now rise again and Liger nails into KENTA with a backhand chop, KENTA answers back now with one of his own, Liger with a chop, KENTA, Kishin, KENTA, Kishin the chops go back and forth until KENTA finally blocks one and turns into the KENTA rush multiple slaps followed by a spinning reverse slap and then followed by roundhouse kick and finished with the Busaiku Knee Kick. Liger stumbles dropping to his knees now as KENTA runs for the ropes and comes in for the dropkick but Kishin is able to bring his hands up and swat him away. Liger now stands onto his feet and grabs KENTA by the hair, bringing him over to the corner and smashing him into it face first once, twice, three times but then KENTA answers back with an elbow to the gut backing Liger off and then leaping up onto the second rope and jumping back with a flying roundhouse taking Liger down and covering for 1…2….NO!
“Wow! These men pulling out all the stops! Every move they have here in this amazing Intercontinental Championship match! Kishin is far more strike orientated and aggressive than Jushin, KENTA is more focused than ever on winning the title! What a war!” JR yells. “It’s not over yet!” Cornette cries in response “come on Kishin!”
Both men are going at it again now with fists, chops and kicks until KENTA runs up floats over Liger, drops down behind and nails him with a dropkick that sends him flying out of the ring. As Kishin rises on the outside KENTA takes his chance running into the far ropes running the ring and leaping over down onto the shoulders of Liger but Kishin brings his arms up and catches him, dropping down and turning into a sit down powerbomb on the floor! The crowd reacts loudly with shock and awe as replays are shown and both men lay out of it on the mat.
Kishin now rises and grabs KENTA pulling him up and driving him face first into the steel steps and then rolling him into the ring and covering for 1…2…NO! Liger is livid, slamming the mat in rage and standing, his dark eyes set on KENTA as he backs up and heads outside to the top rope now. KENTA eventually and slowly begins to rise and Liger rises up, leaping from the top rope down onto KENTA but KENTA comes to life, bringing HIS hands up and catching Liger now in the powerbomb position running forward and power bombing Kishin into the corner turnbuckles. KENTA falls back still out of it from the super bump he took only minutes earlier but finally he begins to crawl and places his arm over Liger for 1…2…NO! Kishin just kicks out.
KENTA has now hand enough lifting Liger and whaling into him with forearms, elbows and kicks and then whipping him into the corner, but Kishin comes to life and jumps up onto the second rope, turning but KENTA runs in and cutters him off the second rope to the mat below and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Kishin still is able to kick out.
Some of the crowd begins to erupt in chants of “this is awesome” now as both men lay out of it on the mat, replays shown and then finally the referee moves in and begins to count 1…2…3…4…5…KENTA begins to stir…6….7…Liger begins to stir now….8….both men crawl and begin pulling themselves up on the ropes….9….the referee stops the count as both men and back on their feet now. Kishin turns and runs in going for a lariat but KENTA ducks underneath, goes behind grabs Liger and hoists him up on his shoulders for the GTS. The crowd standing with anticipation and his lifts him going for it…when Kishin spits black poison mist in his face, drops down from his blinded person, grabs him, lifts him up and drives him down with the fisherman buster for 1…2…3!
The crowd boos loudly as Kishin’s music kicks in and he stands, wincing from the pain but snatches his title as Finkle announces it.
“Ladies and Gentleman your winner and STILL the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion: Kishin Liger!”
Liger gnaws and spits at the fans as then berate while he heads up the ramp, when he reaches the top he holds the title up and looks back with content to the ring where KENTA is looking up and whipping the black goo from his face, glares at him as we fade to a video package.
Shamrock VS Joe
The two men make their way out. Shamrock with the cheers, Joe with mostly jeers.
The referee gets in between the two as they walk up and go nose to nose, keeping at least an inch between them as they stare each other down.
“The last time these two men fought it was a war so wild it could not be contained and cost them both a shot at the IC title! Now…it’s just personal” JR calls as Shamrock begins to trash talk, Joe nodding and smiling, saying a few words back. “Shamrock is undefeated since his return to the WWF in June! Joe is a rage filled monster who has been motivated by the dark nature of our new owner!” Cornette yells back “this is gonna be great!”
Finally the referee calls for the bell and signals that they can go at it. But men fall back and then launch forward Joe getting in a side kick but Shamrock whaling away with rights and lefts, his gloves pounding into Joe’s head and stumbling him back towards the ropes until Joe manages to launch forward and tackle Shamrock to the mat. The two struggles with each other on the mat, Shamrock trying to lock in the triangle choke but Joe easies out of it on his feet. Joe joins him and nails into his with a hard roundhouse to the chest which he follows up with a jumping knee to the head that sends the woozy Shamrock back down to the mat below. Joe then reaches down and lifts him up before he referee starts counting and begins hammering into him with straight roundhouse kicks to the chest one after another but on the last one Shamrock grabs it, counters it and turns it into an Ankle lock but Joe is able to kick him off and both men stand and get in a ready stance to go at each other again.
Shamrock comes in now with another straight shot to the head follows by a kick, he then grabs Joe by the waist and takes him over and down with a belly to belly and covering for a 2 count. He lifts Joe up and sends him over with a side belly to belly and covering again for another 2. He lifts Joe up again and goes for a third but this time as the Samoan is lifts up he drops down behind, waits for Shamrock to turn and then nails him hard with a straight kick to the jaw. The sweat flying as Joe goes for the cover and finds two. Joe now lifts Shamrock up and backs him into the corner, backs off and runs in with a high knee to the chest and then a running bulldog out of the corner. Joe then goes to his submissions, grabbing Shamrock and locking him in a butterfly lock. Shamrock struggles in the hold, but finally is able to get a few kicks back into the head of Joe, sending him back and standing running in and grabbing him and again taking him over for the belly to belly but this time dropping back so that Joe flies back first upside down into the corner and drops straight on his head. The crowd reacts as Shamrock pulls Joe out of the corner and covers him for 1…2…NO!
Shamrock is breathing hard now as he scoops Joe back up into his feet and goes back to the strikes nailing on his with rights and lefts to head the head and then grabbing him again for the belly to belly but again Joe is able to reverse it to land on his feet but this time before Shamrock can turns he grabs him and locks in the coquina clutch! The crowd stand, knowing it is over as Shamrock struggles in the hold trying to fight of it and failing, he then begins to whilst, his knees bending and his eyes glazing over as the referee is in his face asking him if he wants to give up. But at the last second his springs to life and in a last ditch effort running backwards and drives Joe back into the corner breaking to hold to a cheer for the fans. He then grabs Joe and sets him up, dropping back for the go-go Plata but Joe reverses it into a pin cover for 1…2…NO!
Shamrock and Joe now stand and begin trading strikes again when again Shamrock grabs go and takes him over and down with a side belly to belly. Instead of covering though he grabs him up and goes towards the corner, rising up and looking like he is going for something big when Joe comes to life hammering into him with right hands and then hooking him dropping back and hitting the Muscle Buster for 1…2…3!
Joe music hits and he is announce the winner as he drops down with conviction out of the ring, snarling and snorting at he heads up the ramp leaving Shamrock laying out in the ring behind him.
Interlude #1
We are now in the interview area with Mean Gene Okerlund. A new dark gothic themed set behind him.
“Ladies and Gentleman, the World Wrestling Federation Champion! Bryan Danielson!”
The crowd cheers as Danielson moves into frame, the title belt on his shoulder.
“Bryan tonight you head into what is undoubtedly the biggest threat to that championship you have ever faced. You are defending that belt against the owner of this company with all the resources of the WWF and his own army behind him where as you go in alone. And if that isn’t enough, even if none of that comes to pass, the man you’re facing is still The Undertaker!”
“Well you kinda spelled it out right there didn’t you Okerlund? Thing is…look? Am I scared? Yeah. And hell I should be. You all know what I did to the Undertaker in spring of this year to win this title in the first place! But the thing is since then I have gone on to hold this title for as long as he did! Nine months! And in that time I have become a man, and I have become a true champion!”
The crowd cheer but Cornette scoffs on commentary.
“Tonight I can’t feel fear, I won’t feel fear because while I walk that aisle alone against all those odds I still have my pride and I still have my ability. If the Undertaker things he will take this title easy tonight then he better think again…but if this is the last time I walk this road as Champion rest assured that I am taking him down with me!” With that he walks off screen and Okerlund moves to the centre.
“Well it sure will be a hell of a title match and it will be later tonight!”
Tag Team Championship
The challengers make their way out first to a mixed reaction. “They are innocents but have been caught in the cross fire of this war and that motivation may bring them the titles tonight” JR comments. The Machine Guns are next to a huge pop from the crowd; these are indeed the people’s champions. The bell rings are we are underway.

They both grab an arm and back Shelly into the ropes whipping him across the ring now. Yujiro catches him coming in with a hip toss as Naito hits the ropes and follows it up with a running dropkick to the head. That gets a clap from some of the crowd but they aren’t done. Yujiro runs in and hits a running leg drop; Naito runs in from the other side and nails a running standing Swanton! Shelly is getting absolutely hammered from all sides, laying on the mat in pain as No Limit stand over him and taunting the crowd. The referee now comes over and begins orders Naito out of the ring, warning and the counting as he protests. But as soon as Naito goes to his corner he comes right back out of it breaking the count and laughing in the referee’s face about it as both go back to the double team on Shelly. Whipping him across the ring but Shelly catches himself on the top rope to the fans delight.

Shelly backs off but then hits the ropes and come in hard with a closeline but Yujiro moves out of the way and Shelly takes Sabin’s head off with a closeline! Shelly holds his head and barely has time to react turning around and it taken down with a spear from Yujiro. Both men are down now and the crowd are alive, clapping and stomping as both men start to move towards their corners, Naito now back in his and willing Yujiro on. He finally is able to leap forward and tags in Naito. Naito runs the apron and goes straight to the opposite top rope, waiting for Shelly to stand in the ring and then flying off with a missile dropkick.

Sabin pulling him down, backing him into the corner and hitting a hard reverse kick to the gut, backing off as Shelly does them same on the apron both pointing at Naito and then both running forward in the ring and on apron and just as Sabin nails a running high knee Shelly hits the jumping kick to the back off the head. The crowd go nuts for the move and the guns now as Sabin calls for it and goes behind, grabbing Naito and lifting him up under the arm as Shelly goes to the top rope. Sabin lifts Naito up now onto the second ropes himself. Shelly in front on the top rope, Sabin behind in the ring. Naito tries to fight out of it but to no avail as Sabin goes underneath into the powerbomb position Shelly having facing away and having Naito over his shoulder in the cutter position. Then as Shelly hits the powerbomb Sabin floats over and hits sliced bread 2! The Made in Detroit .The crowd as going insane for the move as Shelly covers for 1…2…NO!

Sabin now runs in and grabs him backing him into the corner and lifting him onto the top rope, Jumping onto him and rolling back for a frakensteiner and hitting it but Yujiro reverses it into a sunset flip cover for 1…2….NO! Shelly just breaks it up!
The crowds have not sat down for minuets now, going insane and now clapping and stomping for all the downed men who lay out on the mat to get up. Finally they all do and begin slugging it out with everything they have left. Naito now runs for the ropes and comes in but is caught and dropped with a standing frakensteiner from Sabin. Yujiro now runs in and it grabbed by Shelly. They then boot Yujiro out of the ring and then set Naito up and drop him with the Skull and Bones; Falling neckbreaker from Sabin, Diving cross body from Shelly combo and Shelly covers for 1…2…3!
The crowd explodes as they Shelly falls back to the mat and Motor City’s music plays. The arena give a standing ovation for that match as now Sabin grabs the title belts, handing Shelly his.
“Wow! Now that ladies and Gentleman is what you call tag team action! One hell of a defense from the Guns! Those kids are the deserving and true champions no doubt after that one!” JR yells over the noise. “I don’t know much but I know about Tag Team’s and I hate to agree with you Ross but yeah…damn!” Cornette responds.
Sabin and Shelly drop to their knees hugging each other and holding their title belts in their hands in victory when….
*Play Mankind*
“Congratulations Gentleman” the crowd is booing incessantly at Foley now “indeed you are great champions and have earned them here tonight. But see…the thing is your previous actions of standing against the Undertaker’s Order and your own words are about to come back to the bite you and ruin this night for you. Roll the tape!”
The Guns frown as they stand and look at the Titantron as on it plays the clip from last week’s Raw where they bad mouthed and defiantly spoke out against the Undertaker and the Dominion.
“That was a very bad idea boys. And if you think there won’t be repercussions then you are gravely mistaken. Because as punishment you are now going to a have a second title defense tonight…against these men!”
*Play out Hayabusa and Kishin*
The crowd boos gets insanely louder as Kishin Liger and Hayabusa emerge, their own singles titles already around their waist.
“Oh come on!” JR yells.
Both men smile evilly and sadistically as they enter the ring together.
“Ring the bell referee, and get those belts off of them as well!” Mankind orders with glee.
The referee looks unhappy about it, dejected as he steps forward and orders the Guns to surrender their title belt. They argue with him and plead but the referee simply replies and “I know” and takes them.
“Ring the bell!” Mankind yells.
The bell rings and at once Hayabusa and Kishin run in hammering on the worn down champions and beating them into the mat.
“This is ridicules! The Guns just defended their belts in hard lengthy defense and now this!” JR yells in protest on commentary. “Hey, Kishin and Hayabusa had hard title matches earlier too” Cornette retorts. “That was half a PPV ago!” “That’s why it’s called a punishment JR. If they hadn’t…” “I know.” “And you better too. “I know!”
The Guns try desperately to fight back with all they have left but Kishin drops Sabin with a Fisherman buster, Hayabusa nails Shelly with a Falcon Arrow and then heads to the top and flies off and down onto Sabin with the Phoenix Splash for 1…2…3!
The boos are thunderous, garbage being thrown into the ring at them as Hayabusa’s music plays and they are handed the title belts by the reluctant referee. Both snatch the belts and Kishin chases the referee out the ring. Mankind grins broadly from the ramp as now both the Dark sides of Hayabusa and Liger stick out their tongues to the crowd; hold up with both hands both their singles and now tag titles and then leave the ring, leaving the former champions on the mat.
“And the worst part of this is” JR says solemnly “nobody can do anything about it.”
Women’s Championship: No DQ
Trish comes out first to a good positive reaction. Kong is next to a strong response from a good section of the crowd.
“The crowd here in San Antonio are split right down the middle here. Half for Trish, half for Kong. Who will walk out Champion?” Asks JR as the two stare each other down in the ring,
The bell rings and Trish reels back striking the first blow, and another and another until finally Kong blocks her and then grabs her head and smashes down into it with a head but. The crowd reaction as Trish stumbles away woozy, holding her forehead and backing off for a moment and then turning and going in striking Kong back with hard closeline. That stumbles Kong back on her feet but she then answers back pushing Trish down onto the mat. Trish rolls through and get straight back up running in at her again but now Kong catches her and again hammers into her with a head but, and another and again. Trish now drops down to her knees before the champion. Kong reaches down and picks Trish up, slamming her down onto the mat with a power slam and covering for 2.
She picks Trish up and scoops her up again for another slam but this time Trish falls down onto her feet and kicks Kong in the gut and dropping her finally with a swinging neckbreaker.

Kong backs up and comes running in but Trish is able to get her feet up and kicks Kong in the mouth, stumbling her back and then heading to the top rope and flying off with a diving axe handle, but Kong does not go down, simply stumbling back on her feet. Trish then runs for the ropes and comes in hitting Awesome Kong with a closeline and she stumbles again, Trish then hits a standing dropkick and that sends Kong falling back over the top rope, but she lands on her feet Undertaker style on the mats outside. Kong reaches up with both hands and starts to pull herself up on the apron but Trish run in and dropkicks her back down. Kong stumbles back and around on the mat, turning just as Trish uses the top rope to springboard herself down onto Kong taking her out.
The front row are chanting Trish’s name as she grabs Kong by the head and slams her face first into the top ring step and then reels her back with the arm and Irish whips Kong over the steps breaking them into their two halves with a hard impact. Kong uses the remaining bottom section of steps to push herself up but Trish is right there, running in and dropping back DDTing Kong on the bottom ring steps! The crowd is really getting into this one now as Trish continues the assault, going under the ring and grabbing herself a steel chair coming over and waiting for Kong to rise before bashing her head in with it. Kong stumbles back again but doesn’t go down so Trish follows her as Kong walks backwards around the ring and strikes her again twice with the chair until finally Kong falls to her knees. She then grabs her by the head runs up and over the guardrail to drive her head into it but Kong reverses it, lifting Trish up and smashes her down ribs first on the security wall! The front row reacts and wince with the rest of the crowd as they are pushes back by the security and Trish cries out and holds herself in pain. “She could have broken ribs after that one! Man!” Cornette comments.
Kong now steps over the guard rail and as Trish starts to rise and back into the crowd hammers into her. Out of pure preservation Trish fights back and the two brawl back and forth in the crowd until Kong is able to boot Trish in the gut and Irish whip her into and falling over the wall again. Trish cries out again holding her ribs.
“Oh man, Kong is like a shark smelling blood with Trish’s ribs now” JR tells us.
Kong now grabs Trish and rolls her back into the ring. Going under the ring and pulling out a table and pushing that into the ring. Kong hammers Trish down again and then turns perching the table up in the corner and grabbing Trish, pulling her into the powerbomb position as the crowd begin to stand in anticipation. “Oh no” JR lets out as Kong turns towards the table. Kong reaches down and hoists Trish up onto her shoulders but at the last second Trish is able to reverse it into a monkey flip sending Kong flying upside down through the table to a loud pop from the capacity crowd. Trish holds her ribs and takes a few moments to recover as the crowd reacts and then grabs Kong by the arm and drags her out of the corner and covers for 1…2…NO! Kong just kicks out!
Trish reacts in shock and then pain, still favoring her ribs as she stands and crouches, waiting for Kong to stand and then nailing her with a chick kick and covering for 1…2…NO! Kong kicks out again to massive “oh!” From the crowd.
Trish picks Kong up again and continues to hammer into and work the head, backing Kong into the corner and mounting her for the ten punches 1…2…3…4…5…6…7… at 7 Kong lifts her hands up, and walks forward out of the corner with Trish on her shoulders and drops her down with a powerbomb. Hooking the legs, the awed crowd counting along, 1…2….NO! Trish gets the shoulder up to everyone’s amazement, not in the least Kongs.
Awesome Kong stands now and goes out of the ring, getting another table and pushes it into the ring, then goes over and grabs the top of the ring steps they used earlier and with one heave throws it into the ring. Kong now comes into the ring and grabs the steps, waiting for Kong to stand and then running in with them but Trish reverses it drop toe holding Kong down face first onto the steps. Trish has now brought herself some time, taking a moment for a break and then standing, kicking the steps away and grabbing herself the table, setting it up in the centre of the ring and turning, picking Kong up by the head and pointing at the corner as the crowd react. She runs up it and turns going for the Stratisfaction through the table but Kong is able to reverse it and push her off, sending Trish crashing down hard through the table!
“My God! These two women are killing each other! These two women want so badly to be champion that they indeed destroying themselves and each other here!” JR calls as Kong rolls over and covers Trish for 1…2…NO!!!! Trish kicks out and the place explodes as Kong holds her head and falls to the mat, hammering it with the rage of an elephant and shaking the ring with it.
She takes a moment and then stands, grabbing Trish and pulling her in for the Implant buster but Trish breaks her grip, comes up and kicks with the chick kick but Kong ducks underneath it and grabs Trish again and driving her down with the Implant buster for 1…2… The lights cut out.
*Play Kendra*
Kong gets off of Trish and the crowd boos heavily as Kendra comes storming down the aisle and into the ring, hammering into Kong with clubbing blows and then taking her head off with a big boot.
Back in the aisle way Daffney now emerges with a microphone.
“Everyone, ladies and gentleman may I have your attention please! As you can see Kendra is late and because of that my last minute change to this match has not been added to the run sheet…but she’s her now and yes everyone this match is now a Triple Threat match! Enjoy!” She grins devilishly as boos reign down at her.
“I have had just about enough of this s…” “JR!” Cornette guts him off “probation remember.”
Kendra now picks Trish up and throws her out of the ring, turning her attention back to Kong and going behind looking in the sleeper hold. Kong has no fight left and begins to fade, slumping to the mat. The referee comes over and lifts her arm once…twice…three times!
Just light the last match the crowd start throwing debris into the ring, booing and jeering mercilessly as Kendra’s music hits and it is announced.
“Ladies and Gentleman your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Kendra!”
We cannot see her mouth but know Kendra is smiling as she holds the belt up in victory, Daffney applauding in the aisle way.
“This is BS!” JR cries “JR…” “No! I don’t care Cornette! Kong and Trish had a war out here and killed each other just so this vulture can pick up the pieces! That’s the second match here that a dominion member has stolen a title! And she calls herself a champion! Damn it! Damn the Undertaker this whole thing!”
Kendra now drops down out of the ring, throwing the title belt on her shoulder and marching up the ramp leaving Kong and Trish lying out behind her.
Angle and AJ VS the Brood
Angle is out first to a loud pop. AJ is next to a great reaction is well. The two nod to each other and meet at the bottom of the ramp, walking towards the ring when from behind come the Brood taking then out and stomping away on them on the floor. The crowd is starting to get used to the booing as it starts again now. Edge picks up Angle and throws him hard into the steel steps. Christian smashes AJ’s head off the ring post and throws him into the ring joining him as finally the referee calls for the bell.
*Play ring bell*
Christian continues hammering into AJ on the mat and then stands, holding the ropes and stomping the hell out of him as well. He then picks AJ up and drags him over to his corner, tagging in Edge and then taking AJ over with a snapmare followed by a hard boot to the face from Edge. Christian goes out onto the apron as Edge continues beating on AJ and then picks him up and drives him down with a reverse sit out face buster. He then picks him up and throws him into Christian’s outstretched boot and tagging him back in. Christian continues stomping away and then picks AJ up and shoots him into the ropes. AJ counters and the crowd come alive and he stops himself and hammers into Christian with a hard show but Christian answers right back with a hard right hand taking him back down. He then moves over and tags Edge back in and then both of them come in on the double team now booting AJ from both sides of the mat and then lifting him up and dropping him down hard to the mat face first with a double flapjack. Cover for 1…2…NO! AJ kicks out.
Edge lifts his head up of the mat in the rear face lock and then reels his elbow back and hammers the point of it down hard multiple times to AJ’s face. He then lifts him up and tags in Christian, placing AJ on his shoulders in the electric chair position as Christian goes to the top rope.
“Doomsday Device?” Asks JR.
Christian does indeed fly off the top rope but instead float over AJ and Edge falls back hitting a falling neckbreaker. The smart members of the crowd clap for that as Christian now covers for 1…2…AJ just kicks out again!
Christian is annoyed but continues on him lifting him up and throwing him into the corner, hammering away on him in it and then hitting a snap suplex then going over and tagging Edge back in again. Edge now has had enough and drops down in the corner, his eyes wide and his hand signaling the spear. AJ finally rises up with the ropes help and turns, Edge bolting out of the corner for it but at the last second AJ leaps up and smashes Edge down with a hard side kick to the head. The smack is heard throughout the arena, Christian curses and the people explode.
The crowd start to clap and stomp, willing AJ up as now Kurt Angle is back in the corner holding the tag rope and outstretching his hand for the tag. The stomps and claps get louder and louder as AJ slowly starts to crawl towards Angle, he screaming out for AJ to move faster seeing Edge moving towards his corner now. Tag to Christian! Finally AJ leaps up but is pulled back by Christian, the air let out of the crowd who boo’s as Angle whacks the corner in frustration.
Christian continues to hammer into AJ with a fury now, you can see his desperation to win and get back into the good books of the Phenom. He lifts AJ up now and drops him with a dragon suplex and covering for 1…2…NO! He picks AJ straight up again but and locks in the rear chin and wrist lock, pulling on both with his cupped hands and yelling for AJ to tap. But he holds on, shaking his head at the referee and deterred Christian breaks it and lifts him up, whipping him to the corner and following up with a hard running dropkick in the corner and then moving over and tagging Edge back in. Edge moves in now and grabs AJ back up, dropping him down with the Impaler DDT and covering for 1…2…NO! Angle stomps on Edge and breaks it up to the crowd delight. The referee gets in Angles face but Angle just sneers at him and gives him the finger to a loud pop and then heads back to the corner and holding out his hand again.
But The Brood and still in control and AJ is still in trouble, Edge grabs him by the head and drives him face first into the corner, tagging Christian back in and the two double stomp AJ down in the corner until the referee forces Edge back onto the ring apron. Christian picks AJ back up again now and drops him with the reverse DDT and covering again for 1…2…NO! Again AJ kicks out. Christian slams the mat and picks AJ up again, setting him up for another reverse DDT but this time AJ kicks off and floats over countering it into a tornado DDT. The crowd explodes as AJ falls down to the mat. Angle begins whacking the turnbuckle, the audience and stomping and clapping louder than ever, shouting with Angle for AJ to get to the corner and tag him. AJ slowly starts to move but so does Christian both crawling to their corner Christian closer. AJ is nearly there when leaping tag to Edge. Edge comes running in across the ring and again just pulls AJ back by the leg but this time AJ turns and turns it into an ensurguri, turning, leaping and….hot tag to Angle to a huge roar from the crowd.
Angle comes running in like a house on fire grabbing Christian and taking her over with a belly to belly. Edge runs in now and is captured and taken over with a belly to belly as well. Angle goes behind the rising Christian, the place going bananas, German suplex to Christian, and German suplex to Edge. Angle rises up his face and that of fire as no one in the arena is sitting, the noise level louder than anything as Angle cries out, stomps and pulls his straps down. Turning and grabbing the rising Edge from behind hitting him with another German but keeping the waist locked, standing as the crowd build up in anticipation and drops him again with a second German. And keeps the wait locked again and the crowd build up again and down and again with a 3rd German suplex. He finally now breaks it and turns the crowd’s noise at a fever pitch as he crouches and stomps behind Christian now yelling “get up you son of a bitch!” And as he does comes him behind and drops him with an Angle Slam and covering for 1…2…NO! Edge just breaks it up.
Edge goes wild now beating and then stomping on Angle lifting him up and dropping him with the Impaler DDT, standing and dropping back into the corner, signaling for it and flying out the corner as Angle stands for the Spear but from the side comes in AJ hitting a with a running dropkick sends Edge flying back. AJ yells at Kurt and now goes back to the apron. Angle now rises and tags in AJ. AJ comes in now on Christian but Christian tags in Edge who is now back on the apron. Edge comes running in going straight for the spears but AJ sides steps it, waits for Edge to turn and then nails him with a Pele kick and covering for 1…2…NO! Edge kicks out. AJ now heads outside and to the top rope flying off and down with a frog splash and covering for 1….2….NO! Christian is back and breaks it up.
In comes Angle now, grabbing Christian from behind and hitting an Angle Slam just as AJ picks Edge up and drops him with the Styles Clash, rolling him over for 1…2..3!
The crowd roar in approval as AJ’s music hits and Finkle calls it.
“Your winners Kurt Angle and AJ Styles!”
The two celebrate with the crowd, yelling with conviction as they get their hands raised. They then turn to each other and shakes hands. Finally all seems well when….the lights cut out. When they come back up Gabriel and Mankind and behind them and hammer into them to loud boos. Edge and Christian now get back and join them, it turning into a four on two Dominion assault now. Edge and Christian now break away and drop out of the ring getting themselves steel chairs. The crowd yells out in dread as now Angle rises and wham! Gets nailed with a conchairto! AJ is now pulls up by Mankind and Gabriel and then he gets hit with a conchairto as well. The crowd boos incessantly and the four men stand over the winners, “but they don’t look like it” comments JR, Edge and Christian placing their feet over them and holding up the chairs as we fade out.
Interlude #2
We are now in a dark room with Gene Okerlund, his features highlighted by the low dim light on his face.
“L…Ladies and Gentleman, the challenger for the World Wrestling Federation Championship and the owner of the World Wrestling Federation; The Undertaker!”
The live crowd boos as the Undertaker walks into the light, his features now highlighted as well.
“So Okerlund, we have reached the moment, the end for Bryan’s title reign. Tonight his reign of decadence ends and my reign of purity will begin.”
“What about the matches we just saw? The lengths your regime is going to screw over…”
“Screwed? That’s a funny word. First and foremost that word makes me think of the man I fired and hope is having his home repossessed Bret Hart! But it’s also a word Bryan should be very familiar with. You see he screwed me out of the title he has held too long in April, and he screwed me with his buddy’s a Judgment Day. Well tonight with those crimes in mind I stand in judgment upon Bryan Danielson. And I will be his judge jury and executioner. Yes, I ordered what happened in the last three matches. You see when you cross me you must pay a penance and for those men and women it was a costly one. But Bryan….oh how he crossed me. But as much as I would love to see him torn apart by an army of men by my order, I want far more to do so alone, myself. No there will be no screwing, no interference in this one. Tonight I finish what I should have finished a long time ago by my own hand. I end Bryan Danielson and his joke of a reign. He was only champion this long because I allowed him to be but now…it’s time to pay penance for your sins!”
With that he walks out of shoot and heads towards the ring as we cut to a video package.
*Play Bryan VS Taker Package*
Bryan is out first and looking nervous and rightful so but he gets a good response from the live crowd. Undertaker is next with his usual awing style to loud boos and jeers from his once adoring public. In ring announcing for this one as both man stands in wait.
Undertaker stares his dark eyes over the ring glaring at Danielson, but his face saying it all, “finally.” Danielson just stares back with determination, unhooking the title belt, kissing it and handing it to the referee who holds it up. The Undertaker looks at it almost with salvation as it’s brought over to him.
“Nine months ago Bryan Danielson cashed in money in the bank. And here we are now finally seeing the culmination, the end result of that. Bryan Danielson is a long running and now great champion, the Undertaker is a twisted tyrannical version of the man he was but he wants that title back and he wants revenge” JR tells us the story as the two begin to move towards each other, the referee in between them.
Finally the referee calls for the bell, Undertaker shuffles around opposite Bryan who does the same. The two circling each other as Bryan goes to a catch stance, Undertaker lifting his fists ready to strike. Undertaker swings with a punch finally but Bryan ducks underneath and nails Taker with a back hand chop to the chest. Undertaker stands his ground, not showing any effect of it and moves in again on the stanching and moving Bryan. Finally Bryan backs into a corner waiting for Undertaker to strike and when he does ducks underneath it again and backs the Phenom into the corner now nailing him with repeated chops to the chest. He continues hammering away until Undertaker brings up the arms and blocks it then with both hands grabs Bryan around the throat and pushes him away. Bryan rolls back but does so onto his feet and comes in again but Taker has got out of the corner now and he follows. Bryan gets in a shot to gut and then backs Taker into the ropes whipping him across the ring as he comes in Taker swings again but Bryan again goes underneath and goes for a hard shot but Undertaker lifts his hand and grabs the fist, holding it there looking down at Bryan with predatory eyes. Undertaker twists the arm down and then grabs Bryan by the neck with both hands again, throwing him hard in the corner but Bryan jumps up from it onto the second rope, waiting for Taker to come swing in and leaps over him to the mat behind. Taker turns and comes in but Bryan hits the ropes now and nails and standing cross body block into a cover but only finds one.
Bryan hits the ropes again and comes in for another but this time Taker catches him horizontally out of the air and turns it into a scoop power slam. Undertaker stands, scooping Bryan up instead of going for the pin and whips him into the ropes and as he rebounds back takes his head off with a hard big boot. As the crowd reacts Undertaker looks down upon the form laid out Bryan on the mat with sick satisfaction. He reaches down and picks him up again but Bryan comes to life hammering into the torso and then the head, the hitting the rope and nailing a running high knee that taker the Phenom down. As Undertaker stands he backs into the ropes again and now nails a chop block taking the wheel out from under him. He then grabs himself a long black leg and starts to work on it, kicking at the knee joint and the driving the point of the elbow down into it and locking in a leg lock. Taker lifts his head and winces in the hold, Bryan now standing hooking the leg and dropping back to almost DDT to the leg and then turns Undertaker over and locks in the single legged Boston crab. Undertaker yells out in pain from the leg, reaching for the ropes as the referee gets in his face. He struggle in the hold for a few moment before finally being able to turn over and kick Bryan off and back. Bryan jumps up onto the second rope before Taker can stand, moving his leg to get feeling back into it and turning as Bryan comes off the second rope with a knee but Undertaker reaches up and a hand and snatches Bryan by the throat out of the air. The crowd reacts loudly and stands as Taker turns and goes for the chokeslam but Bryan counters kicking at the injured knee forcing Taker to reel back holding it and then nails a dropkick that sends the Undertaker back into the ropes.
Bryan stands and runs right back in the ropes Phenom but Taker counters it into a back body drop however Bryan counters that and lands on the feet of the apron, runs the length of the ring apron Flair style and heads to the top rope as Taker turn to face him and flies off taking the Undertaker body with a diving knee press. Bryan stands again now and heads back to the top rope on the other side, throwing caution to the wind to keep the advantage as Taker stands and turns, flying off again but this time Taker brings up the boot and big boots him down out of the air to a massive “oh!” From the live crowd.
Undertaker lifts Bryan up and drops him with a scoop slam, following that with a leg drop but not covering as usual. Shaking his head as he scoops Bryan up again and hoists him up, walking forward and dropping him onto the top rope with snake eyes than hitting the ropes and coming taking Bryan down again with his flying closeline. Again no cover but simply scoops Bryan back up and now grabs the arm twisting it, his face that of pure enjoyment is he twists the arm and enjoys watching Bryan squirm and cry out in pain, going under the arm and wrenching it in more and the jolted forward and driving his shoulder into Bryan’s arm and watching him fall to the mat in pain. Taker does not let up though keep hold of the arm and pulls Bryan hard back to his feet,
