A massive fireworks display set off kicked off what was sure to be one of the most stellar nights in wrestling history, as the crowd in London roared in excitement.
"Welcome everyone, to the O2 Arena in London! I'm Todd Grisham, and with me is Lord Alfred Hayes representing NWA!"
"And I'm the Voice of ROH, Joey Styles, and with me is Matt Striker, we welcome you to When Worlds Collide II!"
"Let's not waste any more time as we have a LOT to get through tonight on this dual-branded show, let's take you to the ring for the first matchup of the evening."
(Play Rob Van Dam)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing 237lbs, Ring of Honor's Rob Van Dam!"
(Play Billy Kidman)
"And his opponent, from Allentown, PA, weighing 195lbs, he is the NWA Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kidman!"
Kidman and RVD had a war of words as the bell sounded, neither man backing down, as this match would set the tone for the entire night, the crowd in London just screaming out as loud as possible as the first match was about to get underway. Kidman started poking RVD with his finger, telling him that RVD was nothing more than a joke, which RVD responded with a shrug and his signature thumb gesture. The fans chanted along with Rob as Kidman took a swing, but RVD ducked underneath it and took him down, punching away at his head, the crowd roaring. Kidman rolled out of the ring with RVD close behind him as the chase was on. Kidman sprinted back into the ring and caught RVD with a hiptoss, but RVD landed on his feet and kept running, hitting the ropes. Kidman leapfrogged over him and then dropped down. RVD started Rolling Thunder, but Kidman scouted this and got to his feet before Rob could jump, both men getting back to their feet.
Kidman went for a standing spinning heel kick but RVD ducked it and tripped his leg with a quick sweep. Kidman answered by nipping up to his feet and clotheslining RVD down, who answered with a nip up of his own. RVD kicked low, but Kidman caught his foot and ducked the attempted ensiguiri. Rob landed on his foot and went to kick back, but Kidman caught his foot again and went for a boston crab, but was twisted out of it as RVD used his legs to break out of it. Kidman was then caught in a double leg take down, but kicked Rob off into the ropes and caught him on the rebound with a small package. Before the referee could even move into position, Rob kicked out and sprang to his feet, while Kidman got back to his, as the crowd ate up every second.
"Wow! Listen to the crowd, Striker!"
"You're tellin' me, Todd, this is an excellent way to start off the show!"
"Striker, you're the analyst here, who do you give the edge to?"
"Well Joey, I give it to RVD. He's got more experience under his belt, and he's got the martial arts background as well. Kidman has a tendency to crack under high pressure situations, and I think Van Dam will capitalize on that."
RVD and Kidman locked up in the center of the ring, Kidman being hit with a knee to the midsection, along with a few stiff punches to the face, knocking him into the corner. RVD then hit a solid shoulder block, and followed it up with another one. He hit one more, then backflipped out of the corner, and went to charge in for one final shoulder tackle, but Billy leapt over him and rolled him up! 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out, and as soon as he got back up, Kidman went for a slap to his face, which was countered into a quick backslide! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman shot his shoulder up off the mat as he sprang to the ropes. RVD ducked down and went for a back drop, but was caught in a sunset flip! He rolled out of it though and went to kick Kidman straight in the face, but he ducked down and pulled his tights, rolling him up! 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out again, kicking Kidman to the corner. RVD charged back in and was met with a stiff kick to the jaw, slowing him down. Kidman ascended the second rope and waited for RVD to turn around, but RVD leapt up and hit a monster of a monkey flip from the second rope, Kidman turning all the way around and landed on his face and stomach! He was quickly turned around and covered. 1.... 2.... no! Kidman kicked out, having plenty of fight left in him, lots of actions and pinfalls in the early going.
RVD picked Kidman up who leveled him with a dropkick into the chest, rocking him back. Kidman charged forward with a clothesline, sending him sailing out of the ring. Kidman ran off the other side and grabbed the top rope, leaping over with a somersault plancha, nailing RVD right on the floor! Kidman roared out that he was the best, and at this moment, he may have been correct. He threw Rob back into the ring and hooked the leg. 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out with ferocity, not giving up the fight yet. Kidman picked up RVD and went to suplex him, but RVD went over him and landed on his feet, hitting a quick Japanese rolling clutch, bridging backwards! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman squirmed out of it barely as Rob was still a little loopy from the plancha, as Kidman clotheslined him down, FINALLY stopping the pace of the match for a moment.
Kidman looked out into the sea of humanity as he pointed at the NWA banner overhead, the ROH fans audibly booing him. He picked RVD up and threw him to the ropes, hitting a back body drop on the return, his body landing hard on the mat. He sat up and was met with a dropkick straight into the face, keeping him down, as Kidman went for another cover. 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out and rolled to his stomach, keeping his shoulders off the mat. Kidman then went for a Dragon Sleeper, but RVD stood up and lifted him up and over, hitting a front powerslam from the Dragon Sleeper position, grabbing his legs and pulling back, locking in a pin! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman kicked out, being surprised at the counter RVD just pulled off. RVD was quick and stayed behind Kidman, locking in a full nelson, and lifted off with a Dragon Suplex, linking it into a reverse bridge again! 1.... 2.... NO! Kidman STILL kicked out of the assault!
RVD wasn't discouraged at all as he hit a spinning legdrop onto Kidman's back, and then sprinted to the ropes. He leapt up and went for the five-star, but Kidman rolled out of the way. RVD was able to catch himself and land on his feet, but Kidman ran up behind him and hit a sick release german suplex, RVD's head snapping off the turnbuckles. The crowd cringed and even some NWA faithful jeered at the display of brutality by Kidman. He shook this off and picked him up, placing him on the top turnbuckle, having something devious in mind. He set up for a super frankensteiner, but RVD was able to counter it, headbutting him and kicking him off the turnbuckles. Kidman quickly got to his feet as RVD leapt off with a super-high cross body, but Kidman superkicked RVD square in the face as he was coming down, the crowd cheering wildly, both ROH and NWA fans, as they witnessed an amazing counter.
"OH MY GOD! RVD's neck has GOT to be snapped after that kick, did you see his head whip back??"
"Holy shit, this match is over... there's no way."
Kidman covered RVD..... 1..... 2..... NO!!! The crowd exploded as RVD's shoulder shot up off the mat at the VERY last second, as Kidman looked up at the heavens, seemingly asking God himself "Now what?". Kidman picked up RVD and placed him in a torture rack, then chained it into a sickening high angle neckbreaker, working overtime on the neck that was injured from the turnbuckle bump. He covered Rob again. 1.... 2.... NO! RVD somehow kicked out of that as well, holding his neck in pain as Kidman argued with the referee. As he was screaming at the ref, RVD pulled himself up to his feet and hit a standing spinning heel kick to Kidman's chin, rocking him hard. RVD, still holding his neck, bounced off the middle rope and hit a springboard kick to Kidman's chest, covering him. 1.... 2.... NO! Kidman kicked out. RVD went for Rolling Thunder again and hit it, covering Kidman again. 1.... 2.... NO! RVD got up and couldn't believe that Kidman was still moving, as he tossed him to the corner and began to punch and kick at him. He shoulderblocked him three times again and backflipped out of it, hitting his monkey flip, but Kidman landed on his feet. He ran off the ropes and charged at RVD, but took a straight kick to the mouth, knocking him back into the corner as he fell into a sitting position.
RVD started to look around as the fans rose from their chairs. He looked at the corners and ran to one of them, being on the other side of the ring, Kidman's head sitting right on the turnbuckle, as he slowly ascended the top rope. He pointed at Kidman as the fans loudly started cheering, he rose his thumbs up... "R!!!! V!!!! D!!!!" RVD leapt off from one side to the other, hitting the Van Terminator dropkick straight into Kidman's face! He dragged his lifeless body to the center of the ring and covered him, hooking the leg... 1.... 2.... 3-NO!!!! Kidman's shoulder somehow got off the mat, as the crowd erupted in cheers and jeers, wanting to see the match continue, but wanting it to end for the sake of the wrestlers.
RVD couldn't believe it as he himself started to argue with the referee as Kidman got back to his feet. RVD lifted him for a powerbomb but Kidman reversed it into a frankensteiner, spiking RVD's head into the mat! He hooked the legs, 1.... 2.... NO! RVD still kicked out, as Kidman fell to his stomach, pounding the mat in disbelief. He picked up RVD and shot him into the corner, but Rob's foot came up and blasted Kidman in the face, knocking him down, possibly out. He turned around and leapt up, going for his splitlegged moonsault, but Kidman's foot shot up, blasting Rob right between the eyes, snapping his neck back again, as he fell to the canvas. Kidman slowly got back up to his feet, by the help of the turnbuckles, and left the ring, climbing to the top rope. He signalled the end, and leapt off for the Shooting Star Press... and missed! RVD rolled out of the way just in the last split second, as he pulled himself to his feet. He jumped up to the top rope and leapt seemingly a hundred feet into the air as he crashed down on Kidman with the Five-Star Frog Splash! 1.... 2.... 3!!!!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Ring of Honor's Rob Van Dam!"
What an unbelieveable match the opening bout turned out to be, it certainly could've gone either way, as Kidman rolled out of the ring, RVD still hadn't made it to his feet, as his music echoed throughout the arena as ROH and NWA fans were cheering and chanting his name, as ROH went +1 against NWA in the night thusfar. All four commentators were standing on their feet, applauding the match as were all the fans in attendance, as RVD finally rose to his feet and had his hand raised in victory, he and Kidman putting on one HELL of a clinic, RVD pulling out the win with a surprise Five-Star Frog Splash!
"Ladies and Gentleman this next match scheduled for one fall will have a twenty minute time limit."

Drew was seemingly out cold as Shaemus went after him, pulling him up by the hair, snapping his neck back saying he was going to end it, placing him up in the Celtic Cross, looking to drop him through the table though Drew fought out, turning him around and tackled Shaemus over the barricade into the crowd. Slowly both of them would rise, slugging it out as Drew would tackle him over the barricade again right into the time keeper. They would brawl it out, Drew having control as he grabbed a steel chair, looking to blast him over the head though the ref pulled it out of his hand, not that it mattered as Shaemus would tackle him into the ref then into the post. Drew held his back in pain, the ref knocked out as Shaemus grabbed the steel chair, Drew rolling inside and started to back away, holding his hands up in mercy.

Drew rolled out of the ring, taking his U.S. Title and spat at the ground, stumbling towards the back as Shaemus held his head, growling a bit as Drew smirked, heading through the curtain.
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is the two out of three falls match, The First Fall being contested in Barbed Wire Massacre, where the ring ropes have been replaced by barbed wire and shards of razorwire, the fall can only be won by pinfall or submission, Fall Number Two will be the Monster’s Ball match which can be won also by pinfall or submission but the decision can happen anywhere in the arena, The last fall if needed will be a Last Monster Standing match in which the only way to win that fall is for the opponent to not answer the ten count therefore being the Last Monster Standing”
(Play Abyss)
Abyss comes down the aisle way with James Mitchell behind him, he hits the camera with his cane and then laughs into it as Abyss gets to the ring and sees the barbed wire grabbing it by his hand as the blood begins to trickle down it, Abyss then licks the blood and smears some of the camera as he gets into the ring and gives the classic X taunt as his music dies down and he wants for his opponent as the crowd are anxiously awaiting this match as the arena goes black and the familiar organ music begins to play
(Play Kane)
Pyro explodes from the stage as Kane makes his way out getting jeers and boos from the crowd, Kane just walks straight to the ringside area and looks at the barbed wire. Kane with no regard to his well being gets onto the ring apron and climbs over the top rope of barbed wire getting into the ring and walking to the middle lifting his arms high and then dropping them as flames not only shoot from the turnbuckle but also from the stage in a huge explosion, the lights go from red back to the normal lighting as these two monsters stand a few feet from each other as the referee for this match is Nick Patrick who is wearing army styles combat trousers, a long sleeved shirt with thick protective gloves on, Patrick is also wearing steel top cap boots as well to protect himself as much as possible in this match as Kane and Abyss are just standing there staring at each other as Patrick call for the bell and the first fall to get underway
Both monsters are just standing there, the crowd starting to settle down and get ready for a war, Abyss takes a step forward as Kane slowly tilts his head to one side. We see Mitchell at ringside shouting at Abyss to attack early but Abyss just stands there and slowly puts his arm out trying to touch Kane, but Kane grabs the arm quickly and pulls Abyss towards him as both men go nose to nose with each other and Kane tilts his head to the side again. Abyss starting to get angry goes to throw a punch at Kane but it gets caught as Kane tilts his head one again and begins to squeeze on Abyss’ hand and then takes him down with a clothesline holding onto the hand picking Abyss up going for another clothesline but Abyss blocks Kane picking him up and taking him down with a body slam as Abyss looks around and sees the barbed wire everywhere. Abyss tries to drag Kane to the barbed wire but Kane powers out pushing Abyss close to the barbed wire, Kane starts attacking Abyss with a flurry of right hands trying to knock Abyss into the barbed wire but Abyss comes back with some punches of his own sending Kane back into the centre of the ring as we are at a stand off with both monsters.
Kane and Abyss just square off with each other as Abyss just pushes Kane into the corner and starts beating him down to the bottom turnbuckle as Mitchell throws a barbed wire steel chair into the ring which Abyss sees and picks up, running to Kane looking to hit him over the head with it but Kane boots the chair into Abyss’ skull but Abyss stands strong as Kane snatches the chair from Abyss and levels him over the head and then the back taking Abyss down to one knee, Kane then hits Abyss over the back again sending Abyss to the floor. Kane with the chair in hand just puts it over his head and then slams it down into Abyss’ back and begins rubbing the chair over the back of Abyss just tearing Abyss’s shirt open as we see cuts begin to show on the back of Abyss, the pink skin quickly turning into blood as the barbed wire on the chair has bits of shirt and skin stuck to it. Abyss just rolls around on the mat as the blood spills onto it. Kane places the chair over the head of Abyss, Kane then runs from the corner going for an elbow drop but Abyss moves out the way as Kane lands straight onto the barbed wire chair with bits of his attire being stuck to the chair and blood slowly begins to seep from cuts in his forearm.
Abyss rolls underneath the bottom line of barbed wire to the outside and picks up a board with barbed wire on it and slides it into the ring, Abyss then looks underneath the ring and pulls out not one but two barbed wire covered tables and slides them into the ring. Abyss then rolls into the ring and gets to his feet where Kane goozles Abyss around the throat looking to go for the chokeslam but Abyss chops the arm away and goes to throw Kane into the barbed wire but Kane stops right at the last second and elbow’s Abyss in the chest. Abyss stumbles backwards and nearly falls onto the board as Kane charges at him but Abyss sidesteps as Kane almost falls into the board, turning around and being goozled by Abyss who lifts Kane up but Kane lands on his feet and takes the head of Abyss dropping it down into the barbed wire board with a DDT to a loud response from the crowd. Kane covers Abyss as Patrick counts 1…2…NO! Abyss gets the shoulder up. Kane grabs a barbed wire table and sets it up in the corner of the ring waiting for Abyss to get to his feet looking to throw Abyss into the table, Kane picks Abyss up onto his shoulders and goes to drives Abyss head first through the table but Abyss counters and pushes Kane into the table breaking it as barbed wire gets stuck in the bits of table and also stuck on Kane’s attire.
“Hey Jesse, bet you Kane has never experienced anything as hardcore as this before, has he?”
“If you so much as say that this is wrestling I should come over there and beat the living crap out of you Joey Styles, your nothing but an internet junkie”
Abyss drags Kane from the corner and covers him for 1…2…NO! Kane gets the shoulder up as Abyss turns around and grabs the other table and sets it up in the middle of the ring waiting for Kane to get to his feet. Abyss then takes Kane and looks like he is going to whip him into the barbed wire but Abyss at the last second pulls Kane back looking like he is going to black hole slam Kane through the barbed wire table but Kane counters picking up Abyss going for the tombstone but Abyss counters looking like he is going for a tombstone of his own but we see Kane grab the barbed wire with his gloves just holding on tight as Abyss yanks Kane from barbed wire ropes causing them to rip open and blood to star pouring out of Kane’s hands. Abyss is holding Kane as he falls backwards sending Kane onto the barbed wire board with the fallaway slam as Abyss covers Kane whilst he is still on the board for 1…2…NO! Kane gets the shoulder up. Abyss sits up looking around as Mitchell is on the outside shouting at Abyss to stay on Kane but Abyss argues back shouting to Mitchell to retrieve the weapon, Mitchell complies as he grabs the steel chain but it has been wrapped in barbed wire as he hands it to Abyss who holds it up high with the crowd in mixed reaction for him.
“Oh wow Abyss has a steel chain in hand, give me something original, this guy is just such a Kane rip off, even too his entrance both having red lights, what’s Abyss going to do with the chain, tie himself up to James Mitchell because he is nothing more than Mitchell’s bitch”
“Oh you talk it Grish, but have you ever been in that ring, I have and let me tell you something, matches like this don’t come often so shut up or otherwise that Monster there who goes by the name Abyss will give you a taste of what wrestler’s go through in that ring”
“You might call that wrestling where you come from, but here in NWA we call this a spot-fest piece of crap”
“If there is some spare time during this event I think that the commentators need to get into the ring so I can knock you out, I’m trying to call the match here and all I hear in the background is some whiny little commentator moaning about how it’s not the good ol’ days, stop complaining old man, if you don’t like it, there is the door go through it and never come back”
Abyss has the chain taught waiting for Kane to sit up as he does Abyss wraps the chain around the throat of Abyss and begins to choke him out with the barbed wire adding to the pain, Kane is stamping his feet on the mat just trying to use his power to escape but Abyss has it locked on tight as Kane slowly begins to fade away but then in a burst of strength pulls Abyss forward sending him stomach first into the barbed wire board as Kane takes the chain off of his neck and wraps It around Abyss’ neck and starts trying to choke him out as the barbed wire is cutting up Abyss’ neck however Abyss retaliates by slamming the barbed wire steel chair into the head of Kane stumbling him backwards as Kane falls into the barbed wire ropes and is caught in them as Abyss has the chair in hand and just hits Kane all over the body with the barbed wire steel chair just ripping the attire and tearing flesh off of Kane. Abyss is just relentless but Kane low blows Abyss sending him down to the mat as in a show of freakish strength Kane pulls himself out of the barbed wire breaking that side of the barbed wire leaving a big hole on one side of the ring. Kane with barbed wire down his arm pulls it off of him as the blood is turning his arm a dark red colour. Kane picks up Abyss and looks to go for the tombstone again but again Abyss counters and hits a german suplex onto Kane throwing him into the corner.
Abyss stumbles to his feet and turns around and runs at Kane squashing him in the corner with the clothesline, hitting a second. Abyss tries for a third but Kane goozles him around the throat and picks him up and slams him through the barbed wire table with a chokeslam as Kane falls to the mat but stumbles over and covers Abyss for 1…2…NO! James Mitchell gets into the ring and breaks the pinfall up hitting Kane over the back with the cane. Mitchell begins to laugh as Kane slowly rises to his feet and turns around quickly setting eyes on Mitchell picking him up and dropping him down with the tombstone piledriver as Kane gets to his feet Abyss picks him up and drops him down with a shock treatment landing Kane onto the barbed wire board covering Kane for 1…2…NO! Kane kicks out as we see Abyss punching the barbed wire with cuts all over his hands. Abyss slowly rolls underneath the bottom barbed wire rope and looks underneath the ring and pulls out a barbed wire baseball bat as Abyss slides into the ring with it in hand waiting for Kane to get to his feet looking to hit Kane in the chest but Kane ducks as Abyss turns around Kane runs at him but Abyss catches him with a black hole slam into the barbed wire board covering Kane for 1…2…3!
“Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of the first fall the Barbed Wire Massacre, The Monster Abyss, the second fall The Monster’s Ball shall begin now”
“Did you see that, ROH beat NWA in the first fall, so shut up and start kissing our feet rather than kissing your own asses, NWA is nothing more then ROH but on a much bigger scale, we made you, we can break you”
“Hey Striker, if you forgot it’s two out of three falls, didn’t you hear Bobby Cruise announce the second fall you dumbass, Kane is going to beat Abyss in two straight falls and then you will be asking for forgiveness when NWA stands tall over ROH”
“Yeah, whatever you say Grish, at least I can get over in this business unlike you who can’t even speak without someone in your headset using you as a puppet so shut the hell up and enjoy this as NWA get there ass handed to them again”
Abyss is still on top of Kane as the referee counts 1…2…NO! Kane kicks out as Abyss rolls off of Kane. Mitchell is still out in the middle of the ring as Abyss goes over to check on his manager and rolls him to the outside getting him out of harms way, Abyss rises to his feet but is speared through the barbed wire ropes by Kane as both men go through them and crash through the barricade and into the fans on the outside as Nick Patrick is open mouthed at what just happened. There are still barbed wire boards all around ringside as Kane is the first to his feet and grabs a board and drops it on top of Abyss, Kane then climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off with a leg drop breaking the board over the head of Abyss who start convulsing from the shock of that move. Kane throws part of the board away getting to Abyss who is bleeding all over the place as Kane picks up Abyss and uppercuts him stumbling Abyss back into the ringside area.
Kane breaks the steel steps apart and drops them on the rib of Abyss, Kane not satisfied then picks up the steps and just keeps hitting Abyss in the ribs with the steel steps trying to destroy Abyss then throwing the steps into the ring almost knocking referee Nick Patrick out with them. Kane walks over to the announce tables and starts ripping them apart as all four commentators get to there feet and start moving away:
“OH I see that you have gone quiet now that Abyss is being beaten down by Kane, he has ripped the table apart and your rip-off of a monster will be going through it and then what are you going to say to defend him”
“Well it was an NWA ref that is ruling this match, if he was able to count to three for Abyss to get the first fall then that shows something, mutiny in NWA, Abyss is bringing it home one way or another, come on Abyss”
Kane stumbles back over to Abyss and picks him up and throws him onto the table. Kane then gets onto the table himself and picks up Abyss again placing him on his shoulder and then setting him up looking to go for a tombstone through the table but Abyss counters Kane looking to go for a chokeslam but Kane counters and takes Abyss through the table with a tombstone as the crowd are going mental. Bits of the table break everywhere as both men hit the floor as all four commentators are speechless. The crowd are just cheering for that move as we go to a double feature and we watch the tombstone through the tables from different angles, both Kane and Abyss are not moving at all as Patrick has no choice but to call for EMT’s to come down to check on both men. As soon as the EMT’s come close Kane just sits up and turns around to see EMT’s are standing there frozen as Kane just grabs one of the EMT’s and takes him down with a chokeslam, Kane then grabs another EMT and throws him into the barricade. Kane turns around and sees that EMT’s are trying to tend to Abyss but Kane just runs at them and boots them both in the skull taking them out as Kane drags Abyss from the wreckage of the table and begins to laugh as he drops down and covers him for 1…2…NO! Somehow Abyss manages to get the shoulder up as Kane just looks around and sees Nick Patrick just saying it was a two count but it means nothing to Kane who just goozles him around the throat taking him down with a chokeslam but this is not enough as Kane picks up the lifeless Nick Patrick and drops him down with a tombstone onto the barbed wire board taking him out as blood is pouring out of Patrick’s head.
Kane is just on a rampage taking out anyone he can, now there is no official to officiate the match, it is open house for anything to happen as Kane grabs the barbed wire baseball bat and waits for Abyss to get to his feet hitting Abyss over the head with the bat taking him down as Kane then starts rubbing the barbed wire bat over the face of Abyss trying to mutilate him as much as possible as Kane throws down the bat and looks over at the commentary team who are trying to keep there distance as Kane takes the almost lifeless body of Abyss and places him on the table as Kane jumps up and picks up Abyss looking to go for another tombstone through the table but Abyss counters and grabs Kane around the throat going for a chokeslam but Kane counters picking Abyss up onto his shoulder and drives him from the announcer tables down onto the broken announce table with the powerslam as both men hit the broken table hard but Abyss getting the worse of the impact as Kane throws Abyss back into the ring and picks him up high dropping him down headfirst with the tombstone piledriver onto the barbed wire board covering Abyss but there is no referee to count the pinfall, the NWA fans are counting to three and beyond when we see Charles Robinson donned in the same attire that Nick Patrick was wearing, running as fast as he can down to the ring. The crowd willing Robinson on who slides into the ring and almost into the barbed wire and counts 1…2…3!

“Ladies and Gentlemen neither man was able to answer the count of ten so this fall is a draw, therefore the entire match is a draw with both men winning two falls each”
“Well what can you say, both monsters beat the crap out of each other, look at the arena there is blood everywhere, weapons broken, the left hand side of the stage is broken so we only have lights for around 65% of the arena, these two monsters showed tonight why they are two of the most destructive monsters in human history”
“What can I say, except we got robbed, neither monster was shown to be better and we go a draw, well that was a waste of time, anyway this whole match is pointless because we know that Kane is and will always be a much better monster”
“Why I should beat you up right now but I won’t bother because for some reason I respect you Grish, take this from me, until you wrestle a match in that ring you have sod all to say about wrestling so Grish shut the hell up”
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest will be a for the Ring Of Honor Pure Championship in which Chris Benoit is banned from using the crippler crossface submission; the rules for this match are as follows Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls during the match.

"Hold on there hold on just for a moment." Rhodes spoke out as they got into the ring.
"This is the part of the show that you people paid to see, but unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of miss communication between your tag teams champions."
DiBiase would turn to the video wall as it would show a clip of Aries and Black arguing, the tension had been building between these two as they just weren't on the same page, both of them going their seperate ways as another camera shot showed that Aries and Black had been laid out unconscious during the Kane/Abyss battle, Aries more so having to be taken to a hospital via ambulance as Priceless came back on screen.

A massive fireworks display set off kicked off what was sure to be one of the most stellar nights in wrestling history, as the crowd in London roared in excitement.
"Welcome everyone, to the O2 Arena in London! I'm Todd Grisham, and with me is Lord Alfred Hayes representing NWA!"
"And I'm the Voice of ROH, Joey Styles, and with me is Matt Striker, we welcome you to When Worlds Collide II!"
"Let's not waste any more time as we have a LOT to get through tonight on this dual-branded show, let's take you to the ring for the first matchup of the evening."
(Play Rob Van Dam)
"Ladies and gentlemen, this opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing 237lbs, Ring of Honor's Rob Van Dam!"
(Play Billy Kidman)
"And his opponent, from Allentown, PA, weighing 195lbs, he is the NWA Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kidman!"
Kidman and RVD had a war of words as the bell sounded, neither man backing down, as this match would set the tone for the entire night, the crowd in London just screaming out as loud as possible as the first match was about to get underway. Kidman started poking RVD with his finger, telling him that RVD was nothing more than a joke, which RVD responded with a shrug and his signature thumb gesture. The fans chanted along with Rob as Kidman took a swing, but RVD ducked underneath it and took him down, punching away at his head, the crowd roaring. Kidman rolled out of the ring with RVD close behind him as the chase was on. Kidman sprinted back into the ring and caught RVD with a hiptoss, but RVD landed on his feet and kept running, hitting the ropes. Kidman leapfrogged over him and then dropped down. RVD started Rolling Thunder, but Kidman scouted this and got to his feet before Rob could jump, both men getting back to their feet.
Kidman went for a standing spinning heel kick but RVD ducked it and tripped his leg with a quick sweep. Kidman answered by nipping up to his feet and clotheslining RVD down, who answered with a nip up of his own. RVD kicked low, but Kidman caught his foot and ducked the attempted ensiguiri. Rob landed on his foot and went to kick back, but Kidman caught his foot again and went for a boston crab, but was twisted out of it as RVD used his legs to break out of it. Kidman was then caught in a double leg take down, but kicked Rob off into the ropes and caught him on the rebound with a small package. Before the referee could even move into position, Rob kicked out and sprang to his feet, while Kidman got back to his, as the crowd ate up every second.
"Wow! Listen to the crowd, Striker!"
"You're tellin' me, Todd, this is an excellent way to start off the show!"
"Striker, you're the analyst here, who do you give the edge to?"
"Well Joey, I give it to RVD. He's got more experience under his belt, and he's got the martial arts background as well. Kidman has a tendency to crack under high pressure situations, and I think Van Dam will capitalize on that."
RVD and Kidman locked up in the center of the ring, Kidman being hit with a knee to the midsection, along with a few stiff punches to the face, knocking him into the corner. RVD then hit a solid shoulder block, and followed it up with another one. He hit one more, then backflipped out of the corner, and went to charge in for one final shoulder tackle, but Billy leapt over him and rolled him up! 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out, and as soon as he got back up, Kidman went for a slap to his face, which was countered into a quick backslide! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman shot his shoulder up off the mat as he sprang to the ropes. RVD ducked down and went for a back drop, but was caught in a sunset flip! He rolled out of it though and went to kick Kidman straight in the face, but he ducked down and pulled his tights, rolling him up! 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out again, kicking Kidman to the corner. RVD charged back in and was met with a stiff kick to the jaw, slowing him down. Kidman ascended the second rope and waited for RVD to turn around, but RVD leapt up and hit a monster of a monkey flip from the second rope, Kidman turning all the way around and landed on his face and stomach! He was quickly turned around and covered. 1.... 2.... no! Kidman kicked out, having plenty of fight left in him, lots of actions and pinfalls in the early going.
RVD picked Kidman up who leveled him with a dropkick into the chest, rocking him back. Kidman charged forward with a clothesline, sending him sailing out of the ring. Kidman ran off the other side and grabbed the top rope, leaping over with a somersault plancha, nailing RVD right on the floor! Kidman roared out that he was the best, and at this moment, he may have been correct. He threw Rob back into the ring and hooked the leg. 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out with ferocity, not giving up the fight yet. Kidman picked up RVD and went to suplex him, but RVD went over him and landed on his feet, hitting a quick Japanese rolling clutch, bridging backwards! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman squirmed out of it barely as Rob was still a little loopy from the plancha, as Kidman clotheslined him down, FINALLY stopping the pace of the match for a moment.
Kidman looked out into the sea of humanity as he pointed at the NWA banner overhead, the ROH fans audibly booing him. He picked RVD up and threw him to the ropes, hitting a back body drop on the return, his body landing hard on the mat. He sat up and was met with a dropkick straight into the face, keeping him down, as Kidman went for another cover. 1.... 2.... no! RVD kicked out and rolled to his stomach, keeping his shoulders off the mat. Kidman then went for a Dragon Sleeper, but RVD stood up and lifted him up and over, hitting a front powerslam from the Dragon Sleeper position, grabbing his legs and pulling back, locking in a pin! 1.... 2.... no! Kidman kicked out, being surprised at the counter RVD just pulled off. RVD was quick and stayed behind Kidman, locking in a full nelson, and lifted off with a Dragon Suplex, linking it into a reverse bridge again! 1.... 2.... NO! Kidman STILL kicked out of the assault!
RVD wasn't discouraged at all as he hit a spinning legdrop onto Kidman's back, and then sprinted to the ropes. He leapt up and went for the five-star, but Kidman rolled out of the way. RVD was able to catch himself and land on his feet, but Kidman ran up behind him and hit a sick release german suplex, RVD's head snapping off the turnbuckles. The crowd cringed and even some NWA faithful jeered at the display of brutality by Kidman. He shook this off and picked him up, placing him on the top turnbuckle, having something devious in mind. He set up for a super frankensteiner, but RVD was able to counter it, headbutting him and kicking him off the turnbuckles. Kidman quickly got to his feet as RVD leapt off with a super-high cross body, but Kidman superkicked RVD square in the face as he was coming down, the crowd cheering wildly, both ROH and NWA fans, as they witnessed an amazing counter.
"OH MY GOD! RVD's neck has GOT to be snapped after that kick, did you see his head whip back??"
"Holy shit, this match is over... there's no way."
Kidman covered RVD..... 1..... 2..... NO!!! The crowd exploded as RVD's shoulder shot up off the mat at the VERY last second, as Kidman looked up at the heavens, seemingly asking God himself "Now what?". Kidman picked up RVD and placed him in a torture rack, then chained it into a sickening high angle neckbreaker, working overtime on the neck that was injured from the turnbuckle bump. He covered Rob again. 1.... 2.... NO! RVD somehow kicked out of that as well, holding his neck in pain as Kidman argued with the referee. As he was screaming at the ref, RVD pulled himself up to his feet and hit a standing spinning heel kick to Kidman's chin, rocking him hard. RVD, still holding his neck, bounced off the middle rope and hit a springboard kick to Kidman's chest, covering him. 1.... 2.... NO! Kidman kicked out. RVD went for Rolling Thunder again and hit it, covering Kidman again. 1.... 2.... NO! RVD got up and couldn't believe that Kidman was still moving, as he tossed him to the corner and began to punch and kick at him. He shoulderblocked him three times again and backflipped out of it, hitting his monkey flip, but Kidman landed on his feet. He ran off the ropes and charged at RVD, but took a straight kick to the mouth, knocking him back into the corner as he fell into a sitting position.
RVD started to look around as the fans rose from their chairs. He looked at the corners and ran to one of them, being on the other side of the ring, Kidman's head sitting right on the turnbuckle, as he slowly ascended the top rope. He pointed at Kidman as the fans loudly started cheering, he rose his thumbs up... "R!!!! V!!!! D!!!!" RVD leapt off from one side to the other, hitting the Van Terminator dropkick straight into Kidman's face! He dragged his lifeless body to the center of the ring and covered him, hooking the leg... 1.... 2.... 3-NO!!!! Kidman's shoulder somehow got off the mat, as the crowd erupted in cheers and jeers, wanting to see the match continue, but wanting it to end for the sake of the wrestlers.
RVD couldn't believe it as he himself started to argue with the referee as Kidman got back to his feet. RVD lifted him for a powerbomb but Kidman reversed it into a frankensteiner, spiking RVD's head into the mat! He hooked the legs, 1.... 2.... NO! RVD still kicked out, as Kidman fell to his stomach, pounding the mat in disbelief. He picked up RVD and shot him into the corner, but Rob's foot came up and blasted Kidman in the face, knocking him down, possibly out. He turned around and leapt up, going for his splitlegged moonsault, but Kidman's foot shot up, blasting Rob right between the eyes, snapping his neck back again, as he fell to the canvas. Kidman slowly got back up to his feet, by the help of the turnbuckles, and left the ring, climbing to the top rope. He signalled the end, and leapt off for the Shooting Star Press... and missed! RVD rolled out of the way just in the last split second, as he pulled himself to his feet. He jumped up to the top rope and leapt seemingly a hundred feet into the air as he crashed down on Kidman with the Five-Star Frog Splash! 1.... 2.... 3!!!!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Ring of Honor's Rob Van Dam!"
What an unbelieveable match the opening bout turned out to be, it certainly could've gone either way, as Kidman rolled out of the ring, RVD still hadn't made it to his feet, as his music echoed throughout the arena as ROH and NWA fans were cheering and chanting his name, as ROH went +1 against NWA in the night thusfar. All four commentators were standing on their feet, applauding the match as were all the fans in attendance, as RVD finally rose to his feet and had his hand raised in victory, he and Kidman putting on one HELL of a clinic, RVD pulling out the win with a surprise Five-Star Frog Splash!

Shaemus and Drew would stare at each other, Drew rubbing in the fact he was still a champion where as Shaemus no longer was, handing the title over to the ROH ref whom rose it up, both of them stepping to the center of the ring. Drew would grin at him as both of them started to slug it out, Drew winning the exchange with a gouge to the eyes, Irish Whipping Shaemus to the ropes whom countered by tossing him, dropping him with a shoulder block. Shaemus would follow up with two more shoulder blocks then tossed him out of the ring with a hiptoss.
Drew rose up angry, hearing the pro ROH crowd as he slid back into the ring, going nose to nose with him as it became a pushing contest, Drew locking in a headlock as Shaemus powered out with a back suplex, clotheslining Drew over the ropes to the floor again. Drew obviously annoyed as he would hit the apron, sliding back inside and was hit with a headlock takedown, Shaemus squeezing tightly. Drew slowly worked his way up, pushing Shaemus to the ropes and was dropped with a shoulder block, quickly rising up and ducked a clothesline, trying a shoulder block of his own though Shaemus was too strong, Drew literally being hit out of the ring, holding his jaw.
Shaemus went after him as Drew walked away, needing a breather though was able to quickly kick him low in the gut, ramming his head into the steel post then shoved him into the ring, taking him down with a bulldog, grinding his head into the mat then bashed his knees into his skull. Shaemus slowly rose to his feet from the headlock though Drew pushed him to the corner, chopping him over the chest and hit hard haymakers then started kicking at him, dropping him with a suplex then a running clothesline then clotheslined him out of the ring.
Drew would drop to a knee, raising his hands up hearing the Pro NWA crowd though ROH was not pleased. Drew went after him though Shaemus quickly grabbed the tights and tossed him into the crowd, some of the ROH faithful tossing soda at Drew, to which, he would rise up and take a few shots at them, climbing over the barricade though took a backbody drop onto the stairs. Drew held his back while Shaemus walked around, ramming him into the barricade then back into the ring, charging in at him though Drew ducked and came in fast with a school boy for two.
Both of them charged though Drew caught an inverted atomic drop, tossing Shaemus to the ropes and locked in a sleeper hold, getting rammed to the corner for his troubles. Shaemus would slug at his head until Drew gouged the eye, climbing the rope for a double ax though took a belly to back suplex for his troubles, Shaemus covering for two. He dragged him up by the hair, dropping him with a few belly to belly suplexes then dropped him with a running double ax, calling him up with a grin and went for the Brogue Kick, Drew dodging and pushed him to the corner, bashing his head into the turnbuckle then pushed him up to, coming down with a falling back suplex.
Drew rose up, stomping at his head and dropping a few elbows, yelling out as he bashed his head into the mat, pulling back and rammed his knee over his skull, pulling him up and locked in a full nelson, dropping him with a slam then covered for two. Drew rose up though Shaemus started to fight back, hitting him in the gut and rose up, dropping him with a high angle shoulder breaker then a gorillia press drop, hitting him in the face with a bicycle kick, Drew quite loopy.
Shaemus would punch to his head, placing him upon the top rope though Drew started to fight back, headbutting him down then came down with a double axe, bodyslamming him down then dropped a few knees over the head. Drew rose up, snarling some as he dragged Shaemus up whom rammed him back into the corner, ramming his shoulders into the stomach, hiptossing him out of the corner and dropped him with a running clothesline, nearly taking his head off then tossed Drew hard to the ropes, breaking him in half with a powerslam for two.
Shaemus yelled out in victory, dragging a lifeless Drew to his feet and tossed him to the ropes, ducking for a backbody drop though Drew countered with a hard european uppercut, doing it a few more times, getting irish whipped for his troubles as Shaemus dropped him hard with a Rydeen Buster, covering for two. Shaemus rose with a grin, calling Drew up as he staggered to his feet, Shaemus pushing him back and went for a backbody drop, Drew countered with a sunset flip for two. Both men rise and started to slug it out, Drew hitting a headbutt and bounced off the rope, coming in with a big boot though missed, Shaemus quickly countered with the Brogue kick, hitting Drew out of the ring.
Drew was seemingly out cold as Shaemus went after him, pulling him up by the hair, snapping his neck back saying he was going to end it, placing him up in the Celtic Cross, looking to drop him through the table though Drew fought out, turning him around and tackled Shaemus over the barricade into the crowd. Slowly both of them would rise, slugging it out as Drew would tackle him over the barricade again right into the time keeper. They would brawl it out, Drew having control as he grabbed a steel chair, looking to blast him over the head though the ref pulled it out of his hand, not that it mattered as Shaemus would tackle him into the ref then into the post. Drew held his back in pain, the ref knocked out as Shaemus grabbed the steel chair, Drew rolling inside and started to back away, holding his hands up in mercy.
Shaemus would swing as Drew ducked, reaching into his tights though Shaemus hit the object out of his hand with the chair, Drew holding his palm in pain as Shaemus swung hard, hitting him over the back.

Drew steadied himself and hit Shaemus with the Future Shock DDT right upon the chair, tossing it out of the way as the ref slowly crawled in for one....two.....three. Drew rolled out of the ring, taking his U.S. Title and spat at the ground, stumbling towards the back as Shaemus held his head, growling a bit as Drew smirked, heading through the curtain.
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is the two out of three falls match, The First Fall being contested in Barbed Wire Massacre, where the ring ropes have been replaced by barbed wire and shards of razorwire, the fall can only be won by pinfall or submission, Fall Number Two will be the Monster’s Ball match which can be won also by pinfall or submission but the decision can happen anywhere in the arena, The last fall if needed will be a Last Monster Standing match in which the only way to win that fall is for the opponent to not answer the ten count therefore being the Last Monster Standing”
(Play Abyss)
Abyss comes down the aisle way with James Mitchell behind him, he hits the camera with his cane and then laughs into it as Abyss gets to the ring and sees the barbed wire grabbing it by his hand as the blood begins to trickle down it, Abyss then licks the blood and smears some of the camera as he gets into the ring and gives the classic X taunt as his music dies down and he wants for his opponent as the crowd are anxiously awaiting this match as the arena goes black and the familiar organ music begins to play
(Play Kane)
Pyro explodes from the stage as Kane makes his way out getting jeers and boos from the crowd, Kane just walks straight to the ringside area and looks at the barbed wire. Kane with no regard to his well being gets onto the ring apron and climbs over the top rope of barbed wire getting into the ring and walking to the middle lifting his arms high and then dropping them as flames not only shoot from the turnbuckle but also from the stage in a huge explosion, the lights go from red back to the normal lighting as these two monsters stand a few feet from each other as the referee for this match is Nick Patrick who is wearing army styles combat trousers, a long sleeved shirt with thick protective gloves on, Patrick is also wearing steel top cap boots as well to protect himself as much as possible in this match as Kane and Abyss are just standing there staring at each other as Patrick call for the bell and the first fall to get underway
Both monsters are just standing there, the crowd starting to settle down and get ready for a war, Abyss takes a step forward as Kane slowly tilts his head to one side. We see Mitchell at ringside shouting at Abyss to attack early but Abyss just stands there and slowly puts his arm out trying to touch Kane, but Kane grabs the arm quickly and pulls Abyss towards him as both men go nose to nose with each other and Kane tilts his head to the side again. Abyss starting to get angry goes to throw a punch at Kane but it gets caught as Kane tilts his head one again and begins to squeeze on Abyss’ hand and then takes him down with a clothesline holding onto the hand picking Abyss up going for another clothesline but Abyss blocks Kane picking him up and taking him down with a body slam as Abyss looks around and sees the barbed wire everywhere. Abyss tries to drag Kane to the barbed wire but Kane powers out pushing Abyss close to the barbed wire, Kane starts attacking Abyss with a flurry of right hands trying to knock Abyss into the barbed wire but Abyss comes back with some punches of his own sending Kane back into the centre of the ring as we are at a stand off with both monsters.
Kane and Abyss just square off with each other as Abyss just pushes Kane into the corner and starts beating him down to the bottom turnbuckle as Mitchell throws a barbed wire steel chair into the ring which Abyss sees and picks up, running to Kane looking to hit him over the head with it but Kane boots the chair into Abyss’ skull but Abyss stands strong as Kane snatches the chair from Abyss and levels him over the head and then the back taking Abyss down to one knee, Kane then hits Abyss over the back again sending Abyss to the floor. Kane with the chair in hand just puts it over his head and then slams it down into Abyss’ back and begins rubbing the chair over the back of Abyss just tearing Abyss’s shirt open as we see cuts begin to show on the back of Abyss, the pink skin quickly turning into blood as the barbed wire on the chair has bits of shirt and skin stuck to it. Abyss just rolls around on the mat as the blood spills onto it. Kane places the chair over the head of Abyss, Kane then runs from the corner going for an elbow drop but Abyss moves out the way as Kane lands straight onto the barbed wire chair with bits of his attire being stuck to the chair and blood slowly begins to seep from cuts in his forearm.
Abyss rolls underneath the bottom line of barbed wire to the outside and picks up a board with barbed wire on it and slides it into the ring, Abyss then looks underneath the ring and pulls out not one but two barbed wire covered tables and slides them into the ring. Abyss then rolls into the ring and gets to his feet where Kane goozles Abyss around the throat looking to go for the chokeslam but Abyss chops the arm away and goes to throw Kane into the barbed wire but Kane stops right at the last second and elbow’s Abyss in the chest. Abyss stumbles backwards and nearly falls onto the board as Kane charges at him but Abyss sidesteps as Kane almost falls into the board, turning around and being goozled by Abyss who lifts Kane up but Kane lands on his feet and takes the head of Abyss dropping it down into the barbed wire board with a DDT to a loud response from the crowd. Kane covers Abyss as Patrick counts 1…2…NO! Abyss gets the shoulder up. Kane grabs a barbed wire table and sets it up in the corner of the ring waiting for Abyss to get to his feet looking to throw Abyss into the table, Kane picks Abyss up onto his shoulders and goes to drives Abyss head first through the table but Abyss counters and pushes Kane into the table breaking it as barbed wire gets stuck in the bits of table and also stuck on Kane’s attire.
“Hey Jesse, bet you Kane has never experienced anything as hardcore as this before, has he?”
“If you so much as say that this is wrestling I should come over there and beat the living crap out of you Joey Styles, your nothing but an internet junkie”
Abyss drags Kane from the corner and covers him for 1…2…NO! Kane gets the shoulder up as Abyss turns around and grabs the other table and sets it up in the middle of the ring waiting for Kane to get to his feet. Abyss then takes Kane and looks like he is going to whip him into the barbed wire but Abyss at the last second pulls Kane back looking like he is going to black hole slam Kane through the barbed wire table but Kane counters picking up Abyss going for the tombstone but Abyss counters looking like he is going for a tombstone of his own but we see Kane grab the barbed wire with his gloves just holding on tight as Abyss yanks Kane from barbed wire ropes causing them to rip open and blood to star pouring out of Kane’s hands. Abyss is holding Kane as he falls backwards sending Kane onto the barbed wire board with the fallaway slam as Abyss covers Kane whilst he is still on the board for 1…2…NO! Kane gets the shoulder up. Abyss sits up looking around as Mitchell is on the outside shouting at Abyss to stay on Kane but Abyss argues back shouting to Mitchell to retrieve the weapon, Mitchell complies as he grabs the steel chain but it has been wrapped in barbed wire as he hands it to Abyss who holds it up high with the crowd in mixed reaction for him.
“Oh wow Abyss has a steel chain in hand, give me something original, this guy is just such a Kane rip off, even too his entrance both having red lights, what’s Abyss going to do with the chain, tie himself up to James Mitchell because he is nothing more than Mitchell’s bitch”
“Oh you talk it Grish, but have you ever been in that ring, I have and let me tell you something, matches like this don’t come often so shut up or otherwise that Monster there who goes by the name Abyss will give you a taste of what wrestler’s go through in that ring”
“You might call that wrestling where you come from, but here in NWA we call this a spot-fest piece of crap”
“If there is some spare time during this event I think that the commentators need to get into the ring so I can knock you out, I’m trying to call the match here and all I hear in the background is some whiny little commentator moaning about how it’s not the good ol’ days, stop complaining old man, if you don’t like it, there is the door go through it and never come back”
Abyss has the chain taught waiting for Kane to sit up as he does Abyss wraps the chain around the throat of Abyss and begins to choke him out with the barbed wire adding to the pain, Kane is stamping his feet on the mat just trying to use his power to escape but Abyss has it locked on tight as Kane slowly begins to fade away but then in a burst of strength pulls Abyss forward sending him stomach first into the barbed wire board as Kane takes the chain off of his neck and wraps It around Abyss’ neck and starts trying to choke him out as the barbed wire is cutting up Abyss’ neck however Abyss retaliates by slamming the barbed wire steel chair into the head of Kane stumbling him backwards as Kane falls into the barbed wire ropes and is caught in them as Abyss has the chair in hand and just hits Kane all over the body with the barbed wire steel chair just ripping the attire and tearing flesh off of Kane. Abyss is just relentless but Kane low blows Abyss sending him down to the mat as in a show of freakish strength Kane pulls himself out of the barbed wire breaking that side of the barbed wire leaving a big hole on one side of the ring. Kane with barbed wire down his arm pulls it off of him as the blood is turning his arm a dark red colour. Kane picks up Abyss and looks to go for the tombstone again but again Abyss counters and hits a german suplex onto Kane throwing him into the corner.
Abyss stumbles to his feet and turns around and runs at Kane squashing him in the corner with the clothesline, hitting a second. Abyss tries for a third but Kane goozles him around the throat and picks him up and slams him through the barbed wire table with a chokeslam as Kane falls to the mat but stumbles over and covers Abyss for 1…2…NO! James Mitchell gets into the ring and breaks the pinfall up hitting Kane over the back with the cane. Mitchell begins to laugh as Kane slowly rises to his feet and turns around quickly setting eyes on Mitchell picking him up and dropping him down with the tombstone piledriver as Kane gets to his feet Abyss picks him up and drops him down with a shock treatment landing Kane onto the barbed wire board covering Kane for 1…2…NO! Kane kicks out as we see Abyss punching the barbed wire with cuts all over his hands. Abyss slowly rolls underneath the bottom barbed wire rope and looks underneath the ring and pulls out a barbed wire baseball bat as Abyss slides into the ring with it in hand waiting for Kane to get to his feet looking to hit Kane in the chest but Kane ducks as Abyss turns around Kane runs at him but Abyss catches him with a black hole slam into the barbed wire board covering Kane for 1…2…3!
“Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of the first fall the Barbed Wire Massacre, The Monster Abyss, the second fall The Monster’s Ball shall begin now”
“Did you see that, ROH beat NWA in the first fall, so shut up and start kissing our feet rather than kissing your own asses, NWA is nothing more then ROH but on a much bigger scale, we made you, we can break you”
“Hey Striker, if you forgot it’s two out of three falls, didn’t you hear Bobby Cruise announce the second fall you dumbass, Kane is going to beat Abyss in two straight falls and then you will be asking for forgiveness when NWA stands tall over ROH”
“Yeah, whatever you say Grish, at least I can get over in this business unlike you who can’t even speak without someone in your headset using you as a puppet so shut the hell up and enjoy this as NWA get there ass handed to them again”
Abyss is still on top of Kane as the referee counts 1…2…NO! Kane kicks out as Abyss rolls off of Kane. Mitchell is still out in the middle of the ring as Abyss goes over to check on his manager and rolls him to the outside getting him out of harms way, Abyss rises to his feet but is speared through the barbed wire ropes by Kane as both men go through them and crash through the barricade and into the fans on the outside as Nick Patrick is open mouthed at what just happened. There are still barbed wire boards all around ringside as Kane is the first to his feet and grabs a board and drops it on top of Abyss, Kane then climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off with a leg drop breaking the board over the head of Abyss who start convulsing from the shock of that move. Kane throws part of the board away getting to Abyss who is bleeding all over the place as Kane picks up Abyss and uppercuts him stumbling Abyss back into the ringside area.
Kane breaks the steel steps apart and drops them on the rib of Abyss, Kane not satisfied then picks up the steps and just keeps hitting Abyss in the ribs with the steel steps trying to destroy Abyss then throwing the steps into the ring almost knocking referee Nick Patrick out with them. Kane walks over to the announce tables and starts ripping them apart as all four commentators get to there feet and start moving away:
“OH I see that you have gone quiet now that Abyss is being beaten down by Kane, he has ripped the table apart and your rip-off of a monster will be going through it and then what are you going to say to defend him”
“Well it was an NWA ref that is ruling this match, if he was able to count to three for Abyss to get the first fall then that shows something, mutiny in NWA, Abyss is bringing it home one way or another, come on Abyss”
Kane stumbles back over to Abyss and picks him up and throws him onto the table. Kane then gets onto the table himself and picks up Abyss again placing him on his shoulder and then setting him up looking to go for a tombstone through the table but Abyss counters Kane looking to go for a chokeslam but Kane counters and takes Abyss through the table with a tombstone as the crowd are going mental. Bits of the table break everywhere as both men hit the floor as all four commentators are speechless. The crowd are just cheering for that move as we go to a double feature and we watch the tombstone through the tables from different angles, both Kane and Abyss are not moving at all as Patrick has no choice but to call for EMT’s to come down to check on both men. As soon as the EMT’s come close Kane just sits up and turns around to see EMT’s are standing there frozen as Kane just grabs one of the EMT’s and takes him down with a chokeslam, Kane then grabs another EMT and throws him into the barricade. Kane turns around and sees that EMT’s are trying to tend to Abyss but Kane just runs at them and boots them both in the skull taking them out as Kane drags Abyss from the wreckage of the table and begins to laugh as he drops down and covers him for 1…2…NO! Somehow Abyss manages to get the shoulder up as Kane just looks around and sees Nick Patrick just saying it was a two count but it means nothing to Kane who just goozles him around the throat taking him down with a chokeslam but this is not enough as Kane picks up the lifeless Nick Patrick and drops him down with a tombstone onto the barbed wire board taking him out as blood is pouring out of Patrick’s head.
Kane is just on a rampage taking out anyone he can, now there is no official to officiate the match, it is open house for anything to happen as Kane grabs the barbed wire baseball bat and waits for Abyss to get to his feet hitting Abyss over the head with the bat taking him down as Kane then starts rubbing the barbed wire bat over the face of Abyss trying to mutilate him as much as possible as Kane throws down the bat and looks over at the commentary team who are trying to keep there distance as Kane takes the almost lifeless body of Abyss and places him on the table as Kane jumps up and picks up Abyss looking to go for another tombstone through the table but Abyss counters and grabs Kane around the throat going for a chokeslam but Kane counters picking Abyss up onto his shoulder and drives him from the announcer tables down onto the broken announce table with the powerslam as both men hit the broken table hard but Abyss getting the worse of the impact as Kane throws Abyss back into the ring and picks him up high dropping him down headfirst with the tombstone piledriver onto the barbed wire board covering Abyss but there is no referee to count the pinfall, the NWA fans are counting to three and beyond when we see Charles Robinson donned in the same attire that Nick Patrick was wearing, running as fast as he can down to the ring. The crowd willing Robinson on who slides into the ring and almost into the barbed wire and counts 1…2…3!
“Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of the Second Fall The Monster’s Ball, Kane, the final fall shall be contested under Last Monster Standing rules in which the wrestler who cannot answer the referee’s count of ten will be the loser of the match therefore making the other wrestler the Last Monster Standing”
“What was that about ROH being dominant, not only did Kane beat your cheap monster but he beat EMT’s and referees and even himself, face in Striker and Styles, ROH suck and are not going to win this match”
“Hey we let you have this win as a consolation to show the world that NWA doesn’t suck all that much, we actually fell sorry for you, your matches are linear and your so call Monster is nothing more then a boring phantom of the opera snooze fest, keep him down for a ten count is easy. Just you watch what ROH does and then you will respect us”
Kane stumbles to his feet using the corner to help him up as Robinson begins his count for Abyss 1…2…3…4…5, we start getting movement from ROH’s Monster who slowly stumbles to his side, the NWA crowd are counting along with Robinson shouting at Abyss to stay down but the ROH crowd are willing the Monster on, 6…7…8, Abyss is on one foot trying to get to a second but it is using his entire strength to get to his feet as at a nine count Abyss makes it to both feet breaking the count as Kane runs at Abyss who grabs Kane going for a black hole slam but Kane escape and rolls under the bottom rope to the outside and slowly walks backwards but Abyss isn’t going to waste anytime as he rolls underneath the bottom rope and follows Kane as both men begin to fight on the aisle way with Abyss getting the upperhand throwing Kane into the guard rail and then picking up one of the stage lights and hitting Kane over the head with it. Kane stumbles and falls down as Abyss drops the light on the chest of Kane followed by elbow dropping Kane in the face asking for the ref to count him out as Robinson starts counting 1...2…3…4…5, Kane stumbles to his knees as Abyss starts punching Kane in the head trying to keep the pressure on him but Kane starts fighting back with punches of his own getting to his feet as both men are trading blows with each other in the aisle way fighting up it getting to the top as Kane throws Abyss into the stage and then pulls off a sheet of metal and hits Abyss in the chest with it then over the back of the head taking him down as Kane is able to get a moment to breathe.
This match has been all go since the beginning, neither man has really had the chance to catch the breath which is what Kane is doing now as Robinson is counting Abyss out 1…2…3…4…5…6…7, Abyss is stumbling to his feet as Kane picks up Abyss and drives him down hard with a body slam onto the steel grating. Kane slowly picks up Abyss and throws him through a glass panel to a huge holy shit chant from the crowd. Abyss is covered in glass as Kane has bits of glass sticking through his attire as Robinson starts counting Abyss out again 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8, Kane stops the count as he starts beating down Abyss just rubbing his face in the glass as Abyss is screaming out in pain. Kane comes back through the broken glass back onto the ramp and slowly walks over and looks over the edge in what is around an eight foot drop as Kane goes back over to Abyss who is dragging himself along the floor through the broken glass which is getting dug into the chest of Abyss who drags himself onto the ramp. Kane slowly picks up Abyss onto his shoulders and walks over to the edge of the stage looking like he wants to throw Abyss off of it onto the concrete but Abyss fights back and pushes Kane to the edge who looks like he is about to fall off but he is able to keep his balance as Kane turns around Abyss grabs Kane around the throat looking like he wants to chokeslam him off the stage but Kane is trying to fight back grabbing Abyss by the head going for the inverted DDT but Abyss counters turning Kane around and picking him up and down with the chokeslam on the steel grating as Robinson begins counting both men out. 1…2…3…4…5…6, Abyss somehow manages to get to his feet at a six count as Robinson still counts for Kane 7…8….9, Kane gets to his knees but Abyss kicks Kane in the face taking him down as the count is broken.
Abyss walks back down to the ring and grabs the barbed wire baseball coming back up the aisle way to the top of the ramp as Kane is on his feet and Abyss hits Kane over the back with the barbed wire baseball bat taking Kane down, Abyss throws the bat to onside and climbs down the side of the ramp going to the end of one side and sees tables around the area. Abyss grabs three tables and starts setting them up one on top of the other next to the stage but Abyss then grabs three more tables and places them next to the three set tables as Kane is seen getting to his feet and Abyss gets back on the rampway back Kane takes Abyss down with a jumping lariat. Kane back to his feet drags Abyss to the top of the ramp and throws him into the stage again. Abyss stumbles back as Kane picks Abyss up and drives him down with a tombstone on the steel grating. Both men laid out on the floor as Robinson starts counting. 1…2…3…4…5…6…7, Kane gets to his feet at a count of seven but turns around and sees the pile of tables as he breaks the count by picking Abyss up and moves over to the tables. Kane goozles Abyss around the throat looking to chokeslam through all six tables but Abyss tries to fight back and gets away as Kane turns around Abyss spears Kane off the stage as both men crash through all six tables and through arena lights and electric sparks are going everywhere and parts of the stage starts falling onto both men. Both Kane and Abyss are covered in bits of table and staging equipment as Robinson is looking down in shock and then starts to count both men out. 1…2…3…4…5…6, neither man is moving as the sparks are still going with the crowd shouting holy shit with everyone is complete shock at what just happened. 7…8…9, neither man is still moving as Robinson gets to 10!
“Ladies and Gentlemen neither man was able to answer the count of ten so this fall is a draw, therefore the entire match is a draw with both men winning two falls each”
“Well what can you say, both monsters beat the crap out of each other, look at the arena there is blood everywhere, weapons broken, the left hand side of the stage is broken so we only have lights for around 65% of the arena, these two monsters showed tonight why they are two of the most destructive monsters in human history”
“What can I say, except we got robbed, neither monster was shown to be better and we go a draw, well that was a waste of time, anyway this whole match is pointless because we know that Kane is and will always be a much better monster”
“Why I should beat you up right now but I won’t bother because for some reason I respect you Grish, take this from me, until you wrestle a match in that ring you have sod all to say about wrestling so Grish shut the hell up”
“Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest will be a for the Ring Of Honor Pure Championship in which Chris Benoit is banned from using the crippler crossface submission; the rules for this match are as follows Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls during the match.
