Your Official Poster for Starrcade 2011 and Build Up
Week One
The fallout of World War was already being felt as three huge matches were already signed, the crowd being shown the results of each match as NWA had a lot of work to do prior to Starrcade. Lots of questions though were being asked indeed as the show officially started.
"Ladies and Gentleman, the winner of World War...Evan Bourne."
[Play out]
Bourne came out to a rounding ovation, shaking the hand of DM and would take the mic.
"It's been a long year hasn't it? I was Cruiserweight champion for a year and became a U.S. Champion as well, I had the match of the year against Jushin Liger, it was only fitting for me to win world war and prove myself as-"
[Play out]
Punk slowly made his way down to the ring, he was smiling just a bit as he held a mic within his palm.
"I should have guessed that I would be facing you at Starrcade. Since last years Starrcade you and I have been at each others wits haven't we? You're going to just be a thorn in my side until I destroy you aren't you?"
"You already tried that at the Great American Bash having Kidman and Drew make work of me."
"True, but that was because compared to me, you're nothing. You see look at the options everyone had at New Blood Rising, a Drug Addict, an underweight, and a real wrestling champion, and whom won, you did, with thanks to that Drug Addict Jeff Hardy whom you don't see around here anymore do you because I took care of him."
"You're calling me an underweight?"
"Underweight? Hell you're not even in my league, since I've been here I've defeated Taz, Benoit, Regal, Rick Steamboat AND Sting, John Cena, Jeff Hardy, the list goes on and on and on, I've been in 22 consecutive Pay Per Views and I've won 19 of them. Who the hell have you beaten since you've been here?"
"Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko, John Morrison...oh...and I beat you as well."
"With help of Jeff Hardy as well you little maggot. Evan Bourne, World Heavyweight Champion? That doesn't even sound like Main Event worthy, that doesn't-"
"Well let me explain something to you Punk. See I KNEW you were going to bring up my weight and size but let me tell you something Punk. When Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble and defeated Bret Hart, they said the same things about him and look what he became. You weigh 215 lbs, that's LESS than what he weighed at Wrestlemania, yet everyone accepted him. Here's another name,Bryan Danielson, he weight at 190 and he's a former champion, yet no one bashes him. I'm not just a dammed Cruiserweight Punk, I bring a wrestling ethic that you could never EVER bring and you're pissed off that night in and night out I have the best match on the card compared to you. And at Starrcade I cannot wait to take the title off of your shoulders."
"The only problem I have Bourne...is that you're no Shawn Michaels. You are now and will always be a blip on the radar, but for now, relish the fact that you're going to be Main Eventing Starrcade, because when it's all said and done, just like I crushed everyone else, I'll send you back to where you belong, to dark matches where your kind dwell."
Both of them would go eye to eye as the show would fade to black, cutting to commercial. Once Nitro came back, CM Punk was seen in the locker room, talking to his champions as they were planning for World's Collide II, saying he wanted Randy Orton's head on a stick, though they had to take out the rest of the opposition first. He had Steph do most of the work though it mentioned that he was going to have Kidman take out RVD and Drew take out Shaemus at World's Collide, all of them agreed on the plan.
The first match on the card saw #1 Contender Nattie square off against Victoria in a hard fought bout. Victoria was still quite hungry for that Women title though it was Nattie that won with a huge shoulder tackle proving why she was #1.
Though the next match saw the defending Angel's Champion Katie Lea show just why she was a champion as she went toe to toe with the Anti Angel Serena in a stiff contest. Lea was able to snag the victory even if she cheated slightly, smirking all the while.
After commercial break it was announced that Evan Bourne was going to be in action against Billy Kidman as the main event, perhaps this being a plan from CM Punk whom during the break had left the Nitrozone, telling his men to 'deal' with him though Bourne didn't seem all that scared, perhaps having some backup of his own.
[Play Out]
The Nature Boy came out and he already looked upset as he held a mic.
"I'm gonna make this short and sweet, I came back last night for Vengeance I had just a taste of it. For five months I laid at home, recovering from one of the worst beatings of a lifetime from whom I thought was my best friend. Arn, you and I go way back and what you did to me, you may as well have killed one of my children because that is the calibur of betrayal you accomplished my friend. But then you had the balls to team up with Jeff Jarrett! The festering S*it of this Business! And then you turn your back on me? I F*cking made you into what you are and you have the balls to turn on me? Do you know who I am? I'm a 16 World Heavyweight Champion, I'm the Goddammed Nature Boy, I'm Ric F*cking Flair! And I want you in the worst way Arn, I want you at Starrcade so I can rip your F*cking Face off and F*ck it dry! I don't care if I have to wrestle God and Satan to get to you Arn, I want your ass at Starrcade, we can fight in the ring, out of the ring, on top of the goddammed building whereever! You bring the ass and I'll bring the F*cking because after I get done with you, I'm coming after you Jarrett and I'm going to rape your career and destroy you Once and foreall."
Flair would go crazy, pushing a camera man and foaming at the mouth, tossing his jacket, nearly getting naked at one point as he set down the challenge to Arn though if he would accept we would have to wait as Nitro would cut to commercial while Ric went on another tarrod.
Nitro came back and we were right in the middle of a brand new match as John Morrison was coming down the ring, getting a huge pop for being final four in World War as he went one on one with Taka. Morrison was able to outwit Taka achieving the victory, hopping on the mic and said dispite the fact that their hero "John Morrison' was unable to win World War, he was planning on making a big 'splash' at Starrcade as he was hungry for gold also that if Punk and his army tried anything tonight against Bourne, he had Evan's back.
The next match would see a combination of Ultimo Dragon, Rey Mysterio and Justin Gabriel in triple threat action. The amount of action that was going on in the ring was nearly impossible to call at once, the rumor floating around was the management was searching for a number one contender for the Cruiserweight Title, however on this night, Ultimo Dragon was able to score the win over the rookie Justin Gabriel whom shook his hand promply after the match.
Prior to the main event of the evening, Grisham was getting word that Ricky Steamboat would be in action next week as he wanted to know why Sting hit him with a Deathdrop after their match, Steamboat and the fans were looking for answers.
One final match before the main event would see Mitsuhara Misawa square off against Dean Malenko as they had a hard fought battle with Misawa gaining the victory though Chono, Taka and Hakushi would then jump Malenko with the Radicalz joining into the fray, The Radicalz held them off though Dynasty would grin on the way back, getting just a small piece of one of them, Benoit looking on with angry eyes.
Finally it was time for the main event as Evan Bourne would lock up with Billy Kidman whom, during the first few moments of the match was treating him like a 'child'. As the match progressed, Bourne, whom was as easy pickings as he was beaten up at The Bash, gave Kidman a run for his money in this non title match, though Kidman eventually got the upper hand, teasing the fact he was going to beat him with the Shooting Star Press which he now called the SuperStar Press. Kidman would lay Bourne out, taking a moment to pose as he would leap with the SuperStar Press but missed, taking a hard kick from Bourne whom finished him off with an Asai DDT and then THE Shooting Star Press, beating him for three. Bourne rose his palm in victory though Drew and Priceless would jump him from behind, beating the holy hell out of him, thankfully Demolition and Morrison came down to save the day, at least pulling them away from Bourne, Kidman getting taken down by from all people Justin Gabriel whom apparantly also was on Bourne's side though the last laugh went to CM Punk whom came from the crowd, turning Bourne around and hit him with the GTS, smirking as he rose his fist up in victory, the mind games apparently just starting to begin as the show faded out.
Week Two
A quick recap of last week was shown before the show officially started.
"Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Nitro, we have three huge things going on tonight, Evan Bourne is squaring off against Priceless, Bourne is going to have a mystery partner, Natalya and Lita are teaming up against Vampriss and strangely enough the Anti Angel Serena and to top it all off, tonight Ricky Steamboat demands answers from Sting."
[Play Out]
Eric Bishoff and Planet Jarrett were down within the ring, none of them looked at all happy though Bish would lead the charge.
"In just seven days, myself and Team NWA are going to march into that cesspool of the O2 Arena and destroy Ring Of Honor once and foreall. Granted we came up a little bit short at World War, but that is only a small set back compared to our plans. Once we taken down ROH and prove just how good and lethal we are-"
[Play Out]
Flair wasn't going to wait as he came down to the ring though refs were restraining him, Flair having a ballbat in his hand, wanting a piece of Arn as he yelled out, foaming at the mouth. Arn would just stand there and watched him, not having a thing to say to him, almost as if he were just numb to him. Flair would spit and swear out as he started to break through the refs as Bish yelled out.
"Hey hey, restrain that maniac, he has no right being here while we're telling the world-"
Arn would then take the mic from Eric.
"Ric....you want a piece of me, you stand there and say you want me in the worst way....fine....if you can wait two weeks, I'll take you on at Starrcade...but under one condition, if you can beat Vader here tonight."
Vader would flex out as Flair was ready to fight right there and then though the refs pushed him back, the match seemingly made official right there and then as a blockbuster match was set in stone though Bish wasn't even able to finish what he was saying as Nitro went to commercial.
Once Nitro came back, John Morrison was in action against The Real Man's Man William Regal as they had a tough opening match, Regal dictating most of the match though John Morrison lived up to his promise that he was going to make a big splash, defeating Regal, gaining momentum towards Starrcade.
The next match saw Rey Mysterio squaring off against Chono of the Rising Sun Dynasty. Mysterio looked to gain a huge push heading towards Starrcade but the veteran Chono, having a mean streak since birth was able to defeat Rey Rey with the ChonoTrigger, planting him in the center of the ring.
Third match just before commercial would pit The Patriot going one on one with The Hurricane in a quick based wrestling match, Patriot showing off his wrestilng game as he caught the win with a flying shoulder tackle then a legdrop for the three.
In the back, General Manager DM was getting things ready for Starrcade, having BM take care of World's Collide as he hung up the phone.
"Ah gentlemen it's about time."
Drew and Kidman would slowly enter.
"You wanted to see us boss?"
DM slowly rose from his desk.
"The two of you, Drew....Billy, you've been champions since The Great American Bash, and that's quite a feet, being six month champions and all. But you see...you guys are going to have to defend your titles at Starrcade."
"Well we were plannin' on it boss, what champion wouldn't?" Drew spoke up.
"Ah no truer words never spoken there Drew, which is why I've decided to....perhaps see just how good the two of you really are. I mean, Punk for six months has had hard match after hard match and surely at Starrcade you don't want to be outshined."
They would look at each other before DM spoke again.
"I mean, Punk did say that 'cruiserweights' belong in dark matches...and I'm sure he didn't mean you Billy....and Drew...you're the man that beat the man Punk couldn't at New Blood Rising, I'm more than sure you guys would like your stage to shine right?"
Each of them nodded, seeming to get roped into this as he continued on.
"So I"ve proposed this, at Starrcade, Kidman, you're going to have an cruiserweight invitational, it'll feature such stars as Rey Mysterio, Taka, Hurricane Helms, Steven Richards, Eddie Guerrero, Ultimo Dragon and Justin Gabriel."
Kidman would think for a moment but knew he wasn't able to say anything as DM Continued.
"Now you Drew, I have something special for you, you've impressed me over this year, in your own words you're the 'greatest acquisition since Ricky Steamboat" or at least what you used to say, so you're going to defend you're United States Title in the first ever U.S. Championship Scramble, 25 minutes you'll fight and the winner with the last fall wins the title and you're opponents that will be facing you are, Masahiro Chono, The Patriot, John Cena...and John Morrison."
Drew would run a palm through his hair, gritting his teeth some.
"Oh and Gentleman...good luck representing NWA at World's Collide II, I'll be...rooting for you."
Both of them just looked at each other, now actually, starting to question all of this and left the office, the final shot showing DM with a grin upon his face.
Action went back to the ring as Bambam Bigelow went one on one with Raven, Jake Roberts guiding traffic as Raven just seemed to be a mindless drone taking the abuse of Bambam though was able to get the win in the end with the Raven Effect, hitting him again with it just for added measure, Jake smirking at his new protege'.
Next match lined up for the evening was the first planned at the start of the evening as Lita and Nattie would team up against Lea and Serena, though Lea played as the veteran champion and let Serena do most of the work, not wanting to be too roughed up prior to Starrcade, not minding though if Nattie got injured or not. When the advantage struck Vampriss like a snake would spring to life and strike though it was Lita that in the end was able to take her down with a quick Twist of Fate while Nattie played backup against Serena, Lita cleanly pinning the champion with a grin. Lea of course was upset over the loss, taking out her frustrations out on Serena by beating her up in the middle of the ring, leaving her to dwell on her mistake.
The next match was the big match indeed as Vader went one on one with Ric Flair whom was more than eager and ready for a fight indeed as the two old rivals went to work on each other. Vader used his size and powergame while Flair kept to his dirty tactics and ground wrestling to try and outlast the power of Vader. Twenty or so minutes had passed and Flair was starting to look good within the match, avoiding most of Vader's power attacks and dropped him down, locking him within a figure four and held on tight. Vader tried to fight out of it though Ric had done extension damage prior to his knee as Vader was locked in though Arn and Ole quickly flew into the ring, jumping Flair as the ref rang the bell. Arn and Ole would punch away at Ric, beating the holy hell out of him.
Arn and Ole would then drop him with a double spinebuster as Vader climbed the top rope, hitting two huge Vaderbomb Splashes upon him then finished him off with a Vaderpowerbomb. Arn leaning over him, showing him four fingers then slapped them down, slowly leaving the ring with Ole and Vader in tow, he was sending a message loud and clear to Flair.
Nitro cut to commerical as officials were seen off air helping Flair to the back, he looked angry to say the least but was yelling out that his back hurt, the replays of the attack were shown a few times as Flair perhaps hadn't recovered fully from his assault since July.
[Play Out]
Rick Steamboat stood in the middle of the ring, he heard the ovation of the crowd but he was all business tonight, he didn't look at all too pleased.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush, Sting, I want an answer as to why you dropped me in the center of the ring, after our match at World War. I know you're back there, or up there or around somewhere in the shadows so Sting, lets go, I want my answer and I want it now."
[Play Out]
Sting slowly came out from the back, taking his time as he entered the ring, looking at Steamboat as stood tall, hearing the crowd and also heard the rumors that were floating around the internet, Ricky just waiting for an answer. Sting would take a mic from a ringhand.
"So, you really want an answer hmm?"
Ricky would nod to him, he and the rest of the wrestling world in fact as Sting spoke again.
"Because you screwed me, that's why."
Ricky would look at him cockeyed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Simple you selfish bastard, you kicked me off of Punk when he was inches away from tapping out, you screwed me from winning the World Heavyweight Title."
"Whoa whoa wait a second there Sing, it was a triple threat it was every man for himself."
"You know I would expect something like that out of Ric Flair, but not from you Steamboat. You're a man of honor, not one to take a cheap shot when another man can't defend himself. At Supercard I had the Undertaker beaten and it was Ric Flair to interfered, thus costing me the match. Two weeks ago you did the same thing by kicking me in the jaw costing me the World Title, that's why I dropped you like the plauge that you are."
Sting would slowly back away, Steamboat not quite knowing what he was getting at as he reached out for him as Sting quickly knocked him over the head with a concealed ballbat, laying him out. The fans were a bit at shock as Sting would wait and dropped him with the Scorpion Deathdrop once again, standing over him as he held the mic.
"When you wake up from that, I'll be in Philadelphia, the arena I made famous, the Spectrum, I'll be waiting for you where I"ll finish the job."
Sting would drop the mic and slowly left the ring, leaving Steamboat in his wake, fans having a huge mixed reaction to all of this as he explained his reasons but at the same time, was it right for him to take it out on Steamboat? Nitro went to commericial prior to the Main Event.
It was time for the Main Event as Priceless came down to the ring though they looked very serious for some reason, no jokes or games, they were serious and were preparing as Evan Bourne and his surprise tag team partner, Justin Gabriel. Both of them were ready to go as Priceless literally fell onto their knees, laughing their heads off as they couldn't be serious. Priceless slowly rising up and started to laugh again, unable to take Evan and Justin seriously as the bell sounded though Evan and Justin weren't kidding, attacking them fiercely.
It took Priceless about five minutes to actually start getting the upperhand, cheating to win if they had to, using their strength to overpower them. On more than one occasion nearly getting the win though Bourne and Justin were able to fight them off, using some quick tactics to turn the tides in their favor, causing Priceless to accidentally hit each other as a 450/Shooting Star Splash was hit on both of them as Cody was the one pinned by Justin Gabriel. Though before they could celebrate, CM Punk entered the ring and hit both of them in the back with a steel chair. Punk had been here the entire time, snarling a bit as Priceless, Drew and Kidman would join in on the beating, tossing Gabriel out of the ring, focusing their attention on Bourne, Punk having Kidman hit a shooting star, Drew the Future Shock, Priceless with Lock/Stock and Barrel and Punk finished him off with the GTS, pulling the chair up and ready to bash his skull in.
[PLay Out]
Out came the Monster Kane and he was freaking pissed off as he entered the ring, Punk exiting the ring through the crowd as Kane would start to attack Punk's army by himself. Drew tried to fight back using the chair Punk dropped but got a punch in the mouth for his efforts then a chairshot to his back. Kane would then wind up and cracked it over Evan Bourne's skull, Kane going crazy as he would toss him out of the ring, heading to the outside and would smash the announcers table, grabbing the steel stairs and would literally toss them hard into the crowd as they would disperse. Security started to come down to stop him but Kane got a hold of a sledgehammer, hitting all of them away with ease, cracking the hammer against his knee and tossed the broken bit at the head of a security guard, hitting him right in the skull. Kane would almost roar out as he would turn around, grabbing a fan by the throat and dragged him over the guardrail, slamming him head first into the steel post then into the ring. Upon further inspection the fan was wearing an ROH shirt as Kane climbed inside, grabbing the steel chair and bashed it over the poor man's skull and body, finishing him off with a Tombstone piledriver as he would make the posts explode, his intension was obvious as he wanted Abyss at World's Collide II and he would destroy everyone and everything in his path until he got his wish as the show faded to black.
Week 3
Post World's Collide the stars of NWA had returned, some battle scared and others victorious, even if that number was few and far between.
"Hello everyone, Todd Grisham here on the tails of World's Collide, those that missed it can catch the replay of it but tonight we have Pick Your Poison for the Angel's as Nattie and Lea face off against selected opponents."
"Oh don't forget we have a huge contract signing tonight as Punk and Bourne will sign their Starrcade contracts tonight and I"ve been told there's a no strike clause do to this rivalry being so heated."
[Play Out]
Cody Rhodes, all by himself mind you came down to the ring.
"Now don't worry Ted is here tonight, I just decided to take some time out for a moment. For the last two weeks a certain "Miz' has been making attacks towards myself and Ted, and he said some hurtful things and the sad truth is he's right. I mean, look at the guy, he has gold drip...and he's got so many fa...and lets not forget his huge win at Wres.....Oh and you've held had such a huge push since.....well ya know now that I think about it, you take orders from Emperor Palpatine, and TWO Japanesse Guys have both singles titles AND Tag Team Titles, but at least you came from a reality tv show that no body watched so you have that going for you....OOH and you were a finalist in Tough Enough..but then again you lost that. Well at least you come from a long lineage of wrestling stars such as myself and Ted...oh...now that I think about it, you have less moves than John Cena. You know Miz, now that I really think about it, there was another guy, around this time of the year that was 'getting the rub' , I think his name was MVP, and once he got squashed, that N%&gger faded into obscurity faster than Owen Hart on the way to the hospital, so I say this, with all due respect, get used to being 'flavour' of the month but look on the bright side, at least that company uses their main event talent, like Super Dragon, hell he stayed in there longer than Triple H, The Rock AND Randy Orton combined. So hell, if they kept THAT talent around as opposed to those three, then you just might have a chance my friend. But Until then! You're the MIZ...and You're...AWWWWFULLLL."
Rhodes would drop the mic, smirking as he would stretch a little bit having a match against BamBam Bigelow, getting a royal butt kicking to say the least though Rhodes was able to get the win via roll up and hooking the tights, smirking to himself as he would head to the back.
Nitro hit commercial and slowly came back, it was announced that Punk was in the building and he was literally fuming over his loss to Randy Orton, his Army prepared for the worst tongue lashing ever as their plan had backfired, not planning on Bourne to show up, an announcement was to be made.
The next match on the card would see The New ROH Pure Champion Chris Benoit square off against NWA U.S. Champion Drew McIntyre in a non title match. Benoit was on fire as Drew was still sore from his bout with Shaemus, taking the brunt of most of the match, eventually starting to use his strength against him. Twenty minutes in and Benoit nearly as Drew locked in the crossface as Drew rolled out of the ring, clocking Benoit over the head with the US Title getting the DQ but finished the job with the Future Shock DDT, leaving Benoit in his wake.
Nitro went for a break as the ring was set up with a table for the contract signing, DM standing in the middle of the ring knowing how this was going to go.
[Play Out]
Punk looked quite angry at the loss, Bourne just having a smirk upon his face, getting perhaps the last laugh upon Punk as DM would slowly guide them towards the table, both of them reading it and would sign their respective halves, DM ready to dismiss them when Punk grabbed the mic.
"You.....selfish....bastard. How DARE you interfere in my match at World's Collide. You destroyed NWA's chance at defeating ROH all because of your pride. If I werent' sworn to a no touch clause in the contract, I'd tear you apart right here, right now."
"Oh cry me a river Punk, as if you REALLY cared that much about ROH in the first place. For the last six months you've been on your soapbox preaching about yourself, no where did you mention the welfare of NWA at the event, I figure, my little appearance would just add more fuel to the fire."
"Oh it did Bourne and you're lucky I can't strike you due to the contract, but next week, I want you to think hard about what you've done, because the GM has alloted me Pick your Poison next week, and I already have your opponent lined up."
"It would be an...'honor' proving you wrong in two weeks Punk cause no matter what you do, I am walking out of Starrcade, New, World, Champion."
They would go nose to nose as the show would fade to commercial. Once it came back cameras caught up with CM Punk whom got into his car and just drove off though told Steph to stay close to the rest of the champions, needing to clear his head. The next match scheduled would see John Morrison sqaure off against John Cena in a clash of warriors indeed as Morrison was able to catch a win by reversing the FU into a cutter, gaining the win. Promptly afterwards the next match saw Billy Kidman go one on one with Taka from Rising Sun Dynasty. In a tough fought cruiserweight battle, Taka was able to get the win over Kidman via countout by hitting a Michonoku Driver on the floor, Kidman taking the ten count.
The next match was Pick Your Poisen as Katie Lea entered the ring with a grin, waiting to see whom her opponent was as it was of all people Mischif. Lea would grit her teeth, not expecting that kind of pick but would battle on anyway as these two women would nearly destroy each other. The rematch from Halloween Havoc lived up to its word as Lea was able to get the win over Mischif via Red Mist in the face and a roll up, exhausted and rolled to the floor.
Next match would see Ted DiBiase in singles action squaring off again Goldust. DiBiase of course not a fan of the headgames but would fight on reguardless of the mind tricks. Goldust put up one hell of a fight though DiBiase was able to hook the rope achieving the victory, smirking to himself as Priceless was just as powerful seperate as they were combined.
[Play Out]
"Ah shut up, we may have had a small set back but like it or not, we are going to run this company back to the glory days of old whether you like it or not. Believe it or not, management in the back has yet to give me a match at Starrcade which I think it ridiculous, so here's what I"m going to do. Tonight I'm going to challenge any man in the back to a match and defeat them within five minutes. So come on boys, send out you're best."
[Play out]
Well, Jarrett got an answer alright as Dynasty's own Chono would make his way down to the ring, slowly removing his glasses as he gazed a hole through Jarrett.
"Look, I'm not sure if you understand english because you japs do nothing but supply us with cheap women and rice, but I said any man in the back, you Mr. Chono are no mere man but just a mouse in this wrestling game, so why not go back there, make me some orange chicken-"
Chono would then kick him right in the face with the Yakuza kick, breaking Jarrett's nose upon contact, hearing the bell ring. Chono would then pull Jarrett up and would drop him with the ChonoTrigger, covering him for three. Chono would look down at him in contemp as The Anderson's came down to put a stop to him though Misawa and the rest of Rising Sun Dynasty came down with Vader also coming out to help team Jarrett. Dynasty was seeming to get the upper hand having one extra member on the team until the lights cut out. The crowd roared out as Sting stood in the ring, grabbing Chono by the back of the head and would drop him with the Scorpion Deathdrop, the crowd a bit...shocked at what was going on as the lights would fade out again, Sting gone from the ring as Choon held the back of his head, not knowing, himself, what was going on.
Nitro cut to one final commercial as Grisham would take over.
"Welcome back to Nitro, we thank everyone for tuning in to World's Collide II, we're taking just a moment to thank the fans of Great Britian and all over the world for watching and appearing. Our next huge event that'll be a cross promotion is SuperCard, four promotions, one big event and apparently we are being told that Priceless is already booked to show up at the event. But lets not get ahead of ourselves as we have Starrcade coming in just two weeks. Already we have six matches booked with Priceless goign against Demolition for the Tag Team Titles, Katie Lea against Natayla, Ric Flair against Arn Anderson, A US Championship Scramble that'll pit Drew McIntyre against The Patriot, Chono, John Cena and John Morrison and the Crusierweight invitational placing Billy Kidman against Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Justin Gabriel, Taka Michonoku, Ultimo Dragon and Steven Richards, it looks to be a huge card thus far with of course World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defending agaisnt Evan 'Air' Bourne, make sure you don't miss it as we head down to the ring for the main event of the evening."
[PLay out]
Nattie was ready for her match, stretching out a little bit needing the momentum heading to Starrcade.
[Play out]
"Well hello there love, let me be the first to say that was pretty clever picking Mischif to face me earlier tonight, however, I picked an opponent suitable for another dungeon reject such as yourself, so enjoy."
[Play Out]
Coming down the aisle, we had already seen him but it was Drew McIntyre as he would give a smirk towards Lea, one given back to him as he made his way down to the ring. Nattie would yell that this wasn't, quite fair but no where in the contract did it say male or female opponent. Drew would smirk at the bell rang, Nattie now having to really step it up as Drew took his time heading towards her, locking up and would push her to the corner. Nattie came back at him as he took her down with a headlock takedown, squeezing at the head and neck, Nattie forcing herself to her feet. Drew would push her down, stomping at her as the fans just jumped on him about this, pulling her up by the hair and bashed her head into the turnbuckle, setting her on top and went for a backsuplex though Nattie fought out with a back elbow, balacing herself and came down with a cross body for one, Drew rising up and would hit her with a big boot to the face, knocking her clearly out. Drew would pull her up by the hair, slapping her over the face then dropped her with the Future Shock DDT for three.
Lea would slide into the ring, smirking at Drew as she would lean over Nattie, strattling her and told her 'sweet dreams' and finished it off with a small peck on the lips, rising up with Drew as they rose their respective titles up as the show would fade to black.
Week Four - Go Home Spectacular
"Welcome everyone to Nitro, just seven days away and the event known as Starrcade will be upon us and tonight we have a HUGE blockbuster as Pick your Poison continues as Punk and Bourne choose opponents, Priceless, Drew and Kidman team up against Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, John Morrison and John Cena, and General Manger DM has a HUGE surprise for all of us, I can't wait."
[Play Out]
"Good evening everyone, your favotire General Manager is starting us off tonight and needless to say we have really put a lot of work and effort into Starrcade this year-"
[Play Out]
Punk slowly came out, having the World Title over his shoulder, growling a bit.
"Excuse me for interrupting but I'm not going to sit here and listen to you pat yourself on the back while you've made my title reign a living breathing hell. If I had the power to, I'd drop you right here right now, but i"m not going to sick back there and wait and wait and wait for my opponent, I want him now. So Evan Bourne, I don't care who you picked for me, I want his ass out here right now so I can prove to the WORLD that I am the best in the world, Bar NONE!"

Holy crap what a surprise this was as Ricky Steamboat made his way to the ring, Punk looking ready to snap at any moment as Ricky would enter the ring, looking ready to go. The bell would sound and the match was on, Punk fighting a pure wrestling game while Steamboat kept to his roots using high angle attacks. Half way through the match Evan Bourne came out to watch, cheering Steamboat on as he was caught within the Anaconda Vice. Evan would cheer him on along with the crowd as Steamboat fought his way out of it and was able to toss Punk to the floor. Punk grew angry and would grab the World Title, looking to blast him with it but Bourne pulled it out of his hands, thus causing a small distracton as Punk nearly lost to a small package, breaking out and caught Ricky in the GTS whom countered that into a dragonscrew half jackknife pin for three! If the title was on the line, Steamboat would have been a champion though he would exit the ring with a grin upon his face, getting some final revenge on Punk whom was kicking at the ropes in rage, pissed off to say the least as DM got on the mic.
"Damn Punk, thirty minutes, that's how we open up Nitro, but however, you interrupted me before my big surprise. At Starrcade we need a referee that is going to be impartial and of course not be pushed around. Last year we had a huge debacle over calling the match so this year I'm making it official. Ladies and gentleman, the special, guest, referee."

Holy shit it was Jesse Ventura and Punk gritted his teeth.
"What's the matter Punk, you look like you're seeing a ghost. Oh that's right, last time we were face to face you called me a hasbeen and dropped a 100 pound barbell agaisnt my throat is that right? I may never have been World Champion but I can guarentee you this, you get out of line even one time in your match at Starrcade, I will award Evan Bourne the World Heavyweight Title. I'd rest up if I were you Punk because with me at the helm, you had better be on your toes."
Jesse would leave the ring as Punk just stood there with a far away look in his eyes, not even reacting to all of this as he cluthced his world title tigher as Nitro went to commercial.
Once it came back the crowd was already pumped up for more a Justin Gabriel went one on one against Steven Richards in a cruiserweight battle which saw Gabriel catching the victory in the end with the 450 splash.
Next match would see Masahiro Chono going one on one with Paul Burchill in a quick five minute match seeing Chono just about destroy Burchill with the ChonoTrigger.
Next match would place Lita squaring off against Melina in a tough ten minute Angel's match which saw Lita gain the win via Twist of Fate, disappointed that she wouldn't be at Starrcade but at least she was able provide the fans with one more match prior to Starrcade.
We pan to the back as Drew was talking with the other champions, going over some strategy a little bit as Kevin Kelly would break inside for a quick interview, more so asking how they strong their unit was.
"It's quite simple to answer, you see Punk entrusted us, the champions, to fight at his side and we have yet to not do so. Yes we may have foughten here and there over the last few months, but the fact of the matter is, tonight we, as a unit will destroy our opponents and myself along with the rest of this army will retain our titles at Starrcade."
Drew would push him back, going back to strategy as Lea would lean against the door frame, fixing Kevin's tie and pulled the mic to her lips.
"And for the record Kevin, just for the record that is....all of us, have won every match this company has thrown at us, do you really think that some undercard like Evan Bourne, Demoltion and the rest of them are really going to squash us? Think twice because Starrcade may be the place where dreams come true...but it's also where nightmares become...reality."
Nitro went to commercial as it saw Mitsuhara Misawa square off against Arn Anderson in a tough ten minute bout that saw Misawa get the win countering the spine buster into a DDT then the Emerald Flowsion covering for three. Misawa would grin at his victory though fled the ring as Ric Flair came flying down the ring, tackling Arn to the mat and would start to punch at him, biting even as refs would fly down to try and pull him back though Flair fought out, tackling him through the ropes to the floor as they would battle it out, these two just hating each other as Flair tackling him over the barricade, taking it to the crowd as security was trying to maintain control, Flair yelling out that he wanted Arn Anderson in the worst way, and if he had time he'd fuck the Miz too as the crowd wanted them to fight.
After that was blown over, Kevin Kelly had caught up with Ricky Steamboat.
"Ricky, in just seven days Starrcade is upon us, we're waiting for your responce from Sting."
He would look towards the camera, sweating from his match earlier.
"Sting, plain and simple, you want to go up against the Legend known as Ricky Steamboat and have the greatest match of all time, you're on. But mark my words Sting, when it is all said and done, the better man will walk away."
It was time for the first of the double main event of the evening as Punk's Army would enter the ring with Drew McIntyre leading the charge though Cody Rhodes would take a mic.
"Hold on just for a moment, before we get this match underway, there is something I need to get off my chest. Ahem......Use the Force Miz Use The Force, don't let emperor Palpatine control you and all the other WWF Tools...Don't turn to the Darkside like Gene Kishin Simmons, Use the Force..what....oh you mean he's no longer the flavour of the month? Oh well then nevermind, go back to be Awesome and the champion of video games and shit, myself and Ted will get back to Wrestling, you know, that thing that we ACTUALLY have in our blood rather some Tough Enough reject? You mock everything that is Starrcade huh boy? Just remember this...Starrcade came first, anything AFTER that is nothing more than just a copy such as that over saturated Wrestlemania that is NOW being run by some over the hill Deadman that has 'stock' in the company. Oh my god really, you're going to sit there and bitch and moan about NWA when you shiver in fear at some 90 year old Deadman. Go back to being 'awesome' and fuck that two dollar whore Chelsea that'll just end up leaving you for Super Dragon anyway and when your dick is in the dirt because a better wrestler like, oh I dont' know, Santino Marella defeats you, you can fade into obscurity where you and the rest of you reality based stars turned wrestlers belong."
He slammed the mic down as Cena, Morrison, Mysterio and Dragon came down to the ring for their match. All eight men were in top form, all of them just seeming to fight for their lives, none of them wanting to be outshined by the other, even if they were on the same team. Rhodes took the brunt of each mans attacks, DiBiase doing the best he could to back him up while Kidman would egg the crowd on, Drew guiding traffic while Cena used his strenght, Morrison his innovation, Mysterio his speed and Dragon mixing it up with double team manuevers. Both sides were very strong in this match as it would drag out close to thirty minutes, each man hitting their signature moves though Drew was able to hit the Future Shock DDT on Cena, getting the win for the team, rising up with a grin as all four of them rose up their respective titles, smirking.
Prior to the Main Event we had a recap of everything so far, the card being stacked up to the moon it seemed as Seven Huge Matches were announced, this event was going to be huge as a video package would help pump up Starrcade, also tying in World's Collide and Supercard, the main focus being upon The World Heavyweight Title.
Finally it was time for the Main Event as the bell sounded and the fans were jacked.
[Play out]
Bourne was ready, springing off of the ropes and couldn't wait for his match, getting a main event match on Nitro felt good as Punk slowly walked out upon the apron.
"Bourne....I just wanted to let you know, that despite what anyone says, our match is going to be Epic bar none--now with that being said, I leave you with your opponent for the night and just so you know.....I don't hate you......I loath you."
[Play Out]
Immediately the fans began to dread the worst for Evan Bourne as Kane slowly began to make his way to the ring, god only knew what mood he was in since World's Collide II as he entered the ring, staring at Evan as if he were a piece of meat, the bell sounding. Bourne would try his best, kicking at Kane whom just pushed him back with ease, Bourne coming at him with a spinning wheel kick and would literally smacked down to the mat, tossed with one hand to the ropes as Kane would kick and punch at him, squeezing the life out of him with his palm. He dragged Evan from the corner and would continue to punish him, tossing him around the ring and hitting heavy slams that just made the ring shake, Bourne lucky to be walking half the time. Kane tossed him out of the ring, going after him though some quick moving from Bourne he was able to kick the knee and bulldog him onto the steel stairs, running along the apron and tried for a double knee lariat though Kane caught him, powerbombing him through the announcers table.
Kane was aggitated to say the least as he picked Bourne up and would powerbomb him into the steel post, Punk watching from the stage with a grin, Kane just taking him apart as he tossed him into the ring, hitting a huge chokeslam, Bourne nearly bent in half as Kane looked ready to finish the game, pulling him up and went for the Tombstone though Bourne slid out, able to get one good kick to Kane's jaw then would go on an all out assault, able to drop him with a double knee lariat then the Asai DDT, quickly climbing the top rope and hit the Shooting Star Press to a count of one as Kane literally flung him off. Evan would try again with his feet though Kane grabbed him by the throat, trying for a chokeslam though Evan slid out, bouncing off of the rope and tried a spinning headscissor though Kane countered with a powerbomb that Bourne countered into a hurricanrana and NEARLY got two, Kane tossing him off and would hit him with a big boot over the face, Kane pulling him up and would literally snarl at him, slamming him down with an inverted chokeslam, Bourne landing face first as Kane would turn him over getting the TWO COUNT, Bourne able to kick out out of instinct. Punk was surprised as Kane slid out of the ring, the time keeper fleeing as he grabbed a steel chair, entering the ring as the ref went to stop him, Kane just pushing him with ease out of the ring as Bourne kicked the chair right in his face.
Bourne picked up the chair and would drop Kane with a climb up insiguri using the chair along with his foot, dropping him down and would hit a dropsault with the chair over his face, slowly climbing the top rope and leapt for the Shooting Star one more time, Kane getting hit with it as the ref would slid into the ring and would count one....two....NO Kane kicked out, pushing Bourne off whom bounced off the rope, coming at him as Kane blasted him over the face with the chair, forcing Bourne to flip over upon his chest, the ref ringing the bell and took a chair shot for his troubles. Kane would slam the chair over Bourne's back a few times, hearing him yell in pain as one by one security and the refs came down to restrain him though Kane would hit all of them with the chair, no one was going to go over him.
Kane would place the chair over Evan Bourne's neck and would then proceed to hit him with a Tombstone, that was Punk's plan all along, destroy Evan Bourne and he wouldn't have to wrestle at Starrcade for sure as Kane would slowly set him up.
[PLay Out]
The lights would flicker and a huge jolt of lightning struck, Kane dropping Bourne and looked towards the stage as the lights would go right out.
[Play Out]
OH MY GOD! It was The Great Muta and he was back in full form, slowly making his way down to the ring in dark red and silver attire, seeming not to forget what Kane did to him at Halloween Havoc. Muta would then enter the ring, slowly removing the hood and wore a mask that resembled that of a dragon devil, walking right up to Kane and went eye to eye. Both of these men had a small history, teaming up at SuperCard, fighting in the Prison Cell match against Sting and Hardy and then Halloween Havoc as Kane went to strike first, Muta blinding him with Red Mist. Kane would cover his face as Muta would start to kick at him, tossing him to the corner and did a handspring back elbow then a Muta Bulldog, springing to his feet and would shimy his feet, connecting with the Shining Wizard over Kane's head, waiting for him to rise and would kick him out of the ring, Kane landing on his feet and would rub at his eye, Muta standing there looking at him in a rage, spitting up to the air a Mist of Green as he would take a mic.
"Kane.......You........Me.......Starrcade!"
He would point to the banner and the crowd literally exploded along with the roof that was just shattering before their eyes, a dream match was made right there and then at the end of Monday Nitro as the show would fade......to Black.
Shockwave Saturday Night All Recaps of the Year in PPV's due to Holiday season and preperation for Starrcade.
'And Just Who will be victorious at Starrcade? Priceless goes one on one with Demolition for the NWA Tag Team Titles, Drew McIntyre, John Cena, John Morrison, Masahiro Chono and The Patriot face off in a US Title Scramble, Billy Kidman along with Rey Mysterio, Justin Gabriel, Eddie Guerrero, Taka Michonoku and Steven Richards face off in a Cruiserweight invitational, Katie Lea Burchill, the only singles champion returning to Starrcade defends against Natalya for the NWA Women's Championship, Old friends yet bitter rivals as The Enforcer Arn Anderson fends off against The Nature Boy Ric Flair, Just announced the Gates of Hell have surely opened as Kane will face off against The Great Muta, A Dream Match for the ages as The Icon Sting squares off against the Legend Ricky The Dragon Steamboat and the Main Event of Starrcade as Evan 'Air' Bourne goes one on one with Defending World Champion CM Punk. All this can be seen live ONLY on Pay Per View.'
Week One
The fallout of World War was already being felt as three huge matches were already signed, the crowd being shown the results of each match as NWA had a lot of work to do prior to Starrcade. Lots of questions though were being asked indeed as the show officially started.
"Ladies and Gentleman, the winner of World War...Evan Bourne."
[Play out]
Bourne came out to a rounding ovation, shaking the hand of DM and would take the mic.
"It's been a long year hasn't it? I was Cruiserweight champion for a year and became a U.S. Champion as well, I had the match of the year against Jushin Liger, it was only fitting for me to win world war and prove myself as-"
[Play out]
Punk slowly made his way down to the ring, he was smiling just a bit as he held a mic within his palm.
"I should have guessed that I would be facing you at Starrcade. Since last years Starrcade you and I have been at each others wits haven't we? You're going to just be a thorn in my side until I destroy you aren't you?"
"You already tried that at the Great American Bash having Kidman and Drew make work of me."
"True, but that was because compared to me, you're nothing. You see look at the options everyone had at New Blood Rising, a Drug Addict, an underweight, and a real wrestling champion, and whom won, you did, with thanks to that Drug Addict Jeff Hardy whom you don't see around here anymore do you because I took care of him."
"You're calling me an underweight?"
"Underweight? Hell you're not even in my league, since I've been here I've defeated Taz, Benoit, Regal, Rick Steamboat AND Sting, John Cena, Jeff Hardy, the list goes on and on and on, I've been in 22 consecutive Pay Per Views and I've won 19 of them. Who the hell have you beaten since you've been here?"
"Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko, John Morrison...oh...and I beat you as well."
"With help of Jeff Hardy as well you little maggot. Evan Bourne, World Heavyweight Champion? That doesn't even sound like Main Event worthy, that doesn't-"
"Well let me explain something to you Punk. See I KNEW you were going to bring up my weight and size but let me tell you something Punk. When Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble and defeated Bret Hart, they said the same things about him and look what he became. You weigh 215 lbs, that's LESS than what he weighed at Wrestlemania, yet everyone accepted him. Here's another name,Bryan Danielson, he weight at 190 and he's a former champion, yet no one bashes him. I'm not just a dammed Cruiserweight Punk, I bring a wrestling ethic that you could never EVER bring and you're pissed off that night in and night out I have the best match on the card compared to you. And at Starrcade I cannot wait to take the title off of your shoulders."
"The only problem I have Bourne...is that you're no Shawn Michaels. You are now and will always be a blip on the radar, but for now, relish the fact that you're going to be Main Eventing Starrcade, because when it's all said and done, just like I crushed everyone else, I'll send you back to where you belong, to dark matches where your kind dwell."
Both of them would go eye to eye as the show would fade to black, cutting to commercial. Once Nitro came back, CM Punk was seen in the locker room, talking to his champions as they were planning for World's Collide II, saying he wanted Randy Orton's head on a stick, though they had to take out the rest of the opposition first. He had Steph do most of the work though it mentioned that he was going to have Kidman take out RVD and Drew take out Shaemus at World's Collide, all of them agreed on the plan.
The first match on the card saw #1 Contender Nattie square off against Victoria in a hard fought bout. Victoria was still quite hungry for that Women title though it was Nattie that won with a huge shoulder tackle proving why she was #1.
Though the next match saw the defending Angel's Champion Katie Lea show just why she was a champion as she went toe to toe with the Anti Angel Serena in a stiff contest. Lea was able to snag the victory even if she cheated slightly, smirking all the while.
After commercial break it was announced that Evan Bourne was going to be in action against Billy Kidman as the main event, perhaps this being a plan from CM Punk whom during the break had left the Nitrozone, telling his men to 'deal' with him though Bourne didn't seem all that scared, perhaps having some backup of his own.
[Play Out]
The Nature Boy came out and he already looked upset as he held a mic.
"I'm gonna make this short and sweet, I came back last night for Vengeance I had just a taste of it. For five months I laid at home, recovering from one of the worst beatings of a lifetime from whom I thought was my best friend. Arn, you and I go way back and what you did to me, you may as well have killed one of my children because that is the calibur of betrayal you accomplished my friend. But then you had the balls to team up with Jeff Jarrett! The festering S*it of this Business! And then you turn your back on me? I F*cking made you into what you are and you have the balls to turn on me? Do you know who I am? I'm a 16 World Heavyweight Champion, I'm the Goddammed Nature Boy, I'm Ric F*cking Flair! And I want you in the worst way Arn, I want you at Starrcade so I can rip your F*cking Face off and F*ck it dry! I don't care if I have to wrestle God and Satan to get to you Arn, I want your ass at Starrcade, we can fight in the ring, out of the ring, on top of the goddammed building whereever! You bring the ass and I'll bring the F*cking because after I get done with you, I'm coming after you Jarrett and I'm going to rape your career and destroy you Once and foreall."
Flair would go crazy, pushing a camera man and foaming at the mouth, tossing his jacket, nearly getting naked at one point as he set down the challenge to Arn though if he would accept we would have to wait as Nitro would cut to commercial while Ric went on another tarrod.
Nitro came back and we were right in the middle of a brand new match as John Morrison was coming down the ring, getting a huge pop for being final four in World War as he went one on one with Taka. Morrison was able to outwit Taka achieving the victory, hopping on the mic and said dispite the fact that their hero "John Morrison' was unable to win World War, he was planning on making a big 'splash' at Starrcade as he was hungry for gold also that if Punk and his army tried anything tonight against Bourne, he had Evan's back.
The next match would see a combination of Ultimo Dragon, Rey Mysterio and Justin Gabriel in triple threat action. The amount of action that was going on in the ring was nearly impossible to call at once, the rumor floating around was the management was searching for a number one contender for the Cruiserweight Title, however on this night, Ultimo Dragon was able to score the win over the rookie Justin Gabriel whom shook his hand promply after the match.
Prior to the main event of the evening, Grisham was getting word that Ricky Steamboat would be in action next week as he wanted to know why Sting hit him with a Deathdrop after their match, Steamboat and the fans were looking for answers.
One final match before the main event would see Mitsuhara Misawa square off against Dean Malenko as they had a hard fought battle with Misawa gaining the victory though Chono, Taka and Hakushi would then jump Malenko with the Radicalz joining into the fray, The Radicalz held them off though Dynasty would grin on the way back, getting just a small piece of one of them, Benoit looking on with angry eyes.
Finally it was time for the main event as Evan Bourne would lock up with Billy Kidman whom, during the first few moments of the match was treating him like a 'child'. As the match progressed, Bourne, whom was as easy pickings as he was beaten up at The Bash, gave Kidman a run for his money in this non title match, though Kidman eventually got the upper hand, teasing the fact he was going to beat him with the Shooting Star Press which he now called the SuperStar Press. Kidman would lay Bourne out, taking a moment to pose as he would leap with the SuperStar Press but missed, taking a hard kick from Bourne whom finished him off with an Asai DDT and then THE Shooting Star Press, beating him for three. Bourne rose his palm in victory though Drew and Priceless would jump him from behind, beating the holy hell out of him, thankfully Demolition and Morrison came down to save the day, at least pulling them away from Bourne, Kidman getting taken down by from all people Justin Gabriel whom apparantly also was on Bourne's side though the last laugh went to CM Punk whom came from the crowd, turning Bourne around and hit him with the GTS, smirking as he rose his fist up in victory, the mind games apparently just starting to begin as the show faded out.
Week Two
A quick recap of last week was shown before the show officially started.
"Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Nitro, we have three huge things going on tonight, Evan Bourne is squaring off against Priceless, Bourne is going to have a mystery partner, Natalya and Lita are teaming up against Vampriss and strangely enough the Anti Angel Serena and to top it all off, tonight Ricky Steamboat demands answers from Sting."
[Play Out]
Eric Bishoff and Planet Jarrett were down within the ring, none of them looked at all happy though Bish would lead the charge.
"In just seven days, myself and Team NWA are going to march into that cesspool of the O2 Arena and destroy Ring Of Honor once and foreall. Granted we came up a little bit short at World War, but that is only a small set back compared to our plans. Once we taken down ROH and prove just how good and lethal we are-"
[Play Out]
Flair wasn't going to wait as he came down to the ring though refs were restraining him, Flair having a ballbat in his hand, wanting a piece of Arn as he yelled out, foaming at the mouth. Arn would just stand there and watched him, not having a thing to say to him, almost as if he were just numb to him. Flair would spit and swear out as he started to break through the refs as Bish yelled out.
"Hey hey, restrain that maniac, he has no right being here while we're telling the world-"
Arn would then take the mic from Eric.
"Ric....you want a piece of me, you stand there and say you want me in the worst way....fine....if you can wait two weeks, I'll take you on at Starrcade...but under one condition, if you can beat Vader here tonight."
Vader would flex out as Flair was ready to fight right there and then though the refs pushed him back, the match seemingly made official right there and then as a blockbuster match was set in stone though Bish wasn't even able to finish what he was saying as Nitro went to commercial.
Once Nitro came back, John Morrison was in action against The Real Man's Man William Regal as they had a tough opening match, Regal dictating most of the match though John Morrison lived up to his promise that he was going to make a big splash, defeating Regal, gaining momentum towards Starrcade.
The next match saw Rey Mysterio squaring off against Chono of the Rising Sun Dynasty. Mysterio looked to gain a huge push heading towards Starrcade but the veteran Chono, having a mean streak since birth was able to defeat Rey Rey with the ChonoTrigger, planting him in the center of the ring.
Third match just before commercial would pit The Patriot going one on one with The Hurricane in a quick based wrestling match, Patriot showing off his wrestilng game as he caught the win with a flying shoulder tackle then a legdrop for the three.
In the back, General Manager DM was getting things ready for Starrcade, having BM take care of World's Collide as he hung up the phone.
"Ah gentlemen it's about time."
Drew and Kidman would slowly enter.
"You wanted to see us boss?"
DM slowly rose from his desk.
"The two of you, Drew....Billy, you've been champions since The Great American Bash, and that's quite a feet, being six month champions and all. But you see...you guys are going to have to defend your titles at Starrcade."
"Well we were plannin' on it boss, what champion wouldn't?" Drew spoke up.
"Ah no truer words never spoken there Drew, which is why I've decided to....perhaps see just how good the two of you really are. I mean, Punk for six months has had hard match after hard match and surely at Starrcade you don't want to be outshined."
They would look at each other before DM spoke again.
"I mean, Punk did say that 'cruiserweights' belong in dark matches...and I'm sure he didn't mean you Billy....and Drew...you're the man that beat the man Punk couldn't at New Blood Rising, I'm more than sure you guys would like your stage to shine right?"
Each of them nodded, seeming to get roped into this as he continued on.
"So I"ve proposed this, at Starrcade, Kidman, you're going to have an cruiserweight invitational, it'll feature such stars as Rey Mysterio, Taka, Hurricane Helms, Steven Richards, Eddie Guerrero, Ultimo Dragon and Justin Gabriel."
Kidman would think for a moment but knew he wasn't able to say anything as DM Continued.
"Now you Drew, I have something special for you, you've impressed me over this year, in your own words you're the 'greatest acquisition since Ricky Steamboat" or at least what you used to say, so you're going to defend you're United States Title in the first ever U.S. Championship Scramble, 25 minutes you'll fight and the winner with the last fall wins the title and you're opponents that will be facing you are, Masahiro Chono, The Patriot, John Cena...and John Morrison."
Drew would run a palm through his hair, gritting his teeth some.
"Oh and Gentleman...good luck representing NWA at World's Collide II, I'll be...rooting for you."
Both of them just looked at each other, now actually, starting to question all of this and left the office, the final shot showing DM with a grin upon his face.
Action went back to the ring as Bambam Bigelow went one on one with Raven, Jake Roberts guiding traffic as Raven just seemed to be a mindless drone taking the abuse of Bambam though was able to get the win in the end with the Raven Effect, hitting him again with it just for added measure, Jake smirking at his new protege'.
Next match lined up for the evening was the first planned at the start of the evening as Lita and Nattie would team up against Lea and Serena, though Lea played as the veteran champion and let Serena do most of the work, not wanting to be too roughed up prior to Starrcade, not minding though if Nattie got injured or not. When the advantage struck Vampriss like a snake would spring to life and strike though it was Lita that in the end was able to take her down with a quick Twist of Fate while Nattie played backup against Serena, Lita cleanly pinning the champion with a grin. Lea of course was upset over the loss, taking out her frustrations out on Serena by beating her up in the middle of the ring, leaving her to dwell on her mistake.
The next match was the big match indeed as Vader went one on one with Ric Flair whom was more than eager and ready for a fight indeed as the two old rivals went to work on each other. Vader used his size and powergame while Flair kept to his dirty tactics and ground wrestling to try and outlast the power of Vader. Twenty or so minutes had passed and Flair was starting to look good within the match, avoiding most of Vader's power attacks and dropped him down, locking him within a figure four and held on tight. Vader tried to fight out of it though Ric had done extension damage prior to his knee as Vader was locked in though Arn and Ole quickly flew into the ring, jumping Flair as the ref rang the bell. Arn and Ole would punch away at Ric, beating the holy hell out of him.
Arn and Ole would then drop him with a double spinebuster as Vader climbed the top rope, hitting two huge Vaderbomb Splashes upon him then finished him off with a Vaderpowerbomb. Arn leaning over him, showing him four fingers then slapped them down, slowly leaving the ring with Ole and Vader in tow, he was sending a message loud and clear to Flair.
Nitro cut to commerical as officials were seen off air helping Flair to the back, he looked angry to say the least but was yelling out that his back hurt, the replays of the attack were shown a few times as Flair perhaps hadn't recovered fully from his assault since July.
[Play Out]
Rick Steamboat stood in the middle of the ring, he heard the ovation of the crowd but he was all business tonight, he didn't look at all too pleased.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush, Sting, I want an answer as to why you dropped me in the center of the ring, after our match at World War. I know you're back there, or up there or around somewhere in the shadows so Sting, lets go, I want my answer and I want it now."
[Play Out]
Sting slowly came out from the back, taking his time as he entered the ring, looking at Steamboat as stood tall, hearing the crowd and also heard the rumors that were floating around the internet, Ricky just waiting for an answer. Sting would take a mic from a ringhand.
"So, you really want an answer hmm?"
Ricky would nod to him, he and the rest of the wrestling world in fact as Sting spoke again.
"Because you screwed me, that's why."
Ricky would look at him cockeyed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Simple you selfish bastard, you kicked me off of Punk when he was inches away from tapping out, you screwed me from winning the World Heavyweight Title."
"Whoa whoa wait a second there Sing, it was a triple threat it was every man for himself."
"You know I would expect something like that out of Ric Flair, but not from you Steamboat. You're a man of honor, not one to take a cheap shot when another man can't defend himself. At Supercard I had the Undertaker beaten and it was Ric Flair to interfered, thus costing me the match. Two weeks ago you did the same thing by kicking me in the jaw costing me the World Title, that's why I dropped you like the plauge that you are."
Sting would slowly back away, Steamboat not quite knowing what he was getting at as he reached out for him as Sting quickly knocked him over the head with a concealed ballbat, laying him out. The fans were a bit at shock as Sting would wait and dropped him with the Scorpion Deathdrop once again, standing over him as he held the mic.
"When you wake up from that, I'll be in Philadelphia, the arena I made famous, the Spectrum, I'll be waiting for you where I"ll finish the job."
Sting would drop the mic and slowly left the ring, leaving Steamboat in his wake, fans having a huge mixed reaction to all of this as he explained his reasons but at the same time, was it right for him to take it out on Steamboat? Nitro went to commericial prior to the Main Event.
It was time for the Main Event as Priceless came down to the ring though they looked very serious for some reason, no jokes or games, they were serious and were preparing as Evan Bourne and his surprise tag team partner, Justin Gabriel. Both of them were ready to go as Priceless literally fell onto their knees, laughing their heads off as they couldn't be serious. Priceless slowly rising up and started to laugh again, unable to take Evan and Justin seriously as the bell sounded though Evan and Justin weren't kidding, attacking them fiercely.
It took Priceless about five minutes to actually start getting the upperhand, cheating to win if they had to, using their strength to overpower them. On more than one occasion nearly getting the win though Bourne and Justin were able to fight them off, using some quick tactics to turn the tides in their favor, causing Priceless to accidentally hit each other as a 450/Shooting Star Splash was hit on both of them as Cody was the one pinned by Justin Gabriel. Though before they could celebrate, CM Punk entered the ring and hit both of them in the back with a steel chair. Punk had been here the entire time, snarling a bit as Priceless, Drew and Kidman would join in on the beating, tossing Gabriel out of the ring, focusing their attention on Bourne, Punk having Kidman hit a shooting star, Drew the Future Shock, Priceless with Lock/Stock and Barrel and Punk finished him off with the GTS, pulling the chair up and ready to bash his skull in.
[PLay Out]
Out came the Monster Kane and he was freaking pissed off as he entered the ring, Punk exiting the ring through the crowd as Kane would start to attack Punk's army by himself. Drew tried to fight back using the chair Punk dropped but got a punch in the mouth for his efforts then a chairshot to his back. Kane would then wind up and cracked it over Evan Bourne's skull, Kane going crazy as he would toss him out of the ring, heading to the outside and would smash the announcers table, grabbing the steel stairs and would literally toss them hard into the crowd as they would disperse. Security started to come down to stop him but Kane got a hold of a sledgehammer, hitting all of them away with ease, cracking the hammer against his knee and tossed the broken bit at the head of a security guard, hitting him right in the skull. Kane would almost roar out as he would turn around, grabbing a fan by the throat and dragged him over the guardrail, slamming him head first into the steel post then into the ring. Upon further inspection the fan was wearing an ROH shirt as Kane climbed inside, grabbing the steel chair and bashed it over the poor man's skull and body, finishing him off with a Tombstone piledriver as he would make the posts explode, his intension was obvious as he wanted Abyss at World's Collide II and he would destroy everyone and everything in his path until he got his wish as the show faded to black.
Week 3
Post World's Collide the stars of NWA had returned, some battle scared and others victorious, even if that number was few and far between.
"Hello everyone, Todd Grisham here on the tails of World's Collide, those that missed it can catch the replay of it but tonight we have Pick Your Poison for the Angel's as Nattie and Lea face off against selected opponents."
"Oh don't forget we have a huge contract signing tonight as Punk and Bourne will sign their Starrcade contracts tonight and I"ve been told there's a no strike clause do to this rivalry being so heated."
[Play Out]
Cody Rhodes, all by himself mind you came down to the ring.
"Now don't worry Ted is here tonight, I just decided to take some time out for a moment. For the last two weeks a certain "Miz' has been making attacks towards myself and Ted, and he said some hurtful things and the sad truth is he's right. I mean, look at the guy, he has gold drip...and he's got so many fa...and lets not forget his huge win at Wres.....Oh and you've held had such a huge push since.....well ya know now that I think about it, you take orders from Emperor Palpatine, and TWO Japanesse Guys have both singles titles AND Tag Team Titles, but at least you came from a reality tv show that no body watched so you have that going for you....OOH and you were a finalist in Tough Enough..but then again you lost that. Well at least you come from a long lineage of wrestling stars such as myself and Ted...oh...now that I think about it, you have less moves than John Cena. You know Miz, now that I really think about it, there was another guy, around this time of the year that was 'getting the rub' , I think his name was MVP, and once he got squashed, that N%&gger faded into obscurity faster than Owen Hart on the way to the hospital, so I say this, with all due respect, get used to being 'flavour' of the month but look on the bright side, at least that company uses their main event talent, like Super Dragon, hell he stayed in there longer than Triple H, The Rock AND Randy Orton combined. So hell, if they kept THAT talent around as opposed to those three, then you just might have a chance my friend. But Until then! You're the MIZ...and You're...AWWWWFULLLL."
Rhodes would drop the mic, smirking as he would stretch a little bit having a match against BamBam Bigelow, getting a royal butt kicking to say the least though Rhodes was able to get the win via roll up and hooking the tights, smirking to himself as he would head to the back.
Nitro hit commercial and slowly came back, it was announced that Punk was in the building and he was literally fuming over his loss to Randy Orton, his Army prepared for the worst tongue lashing ever as their plan had backfired, not planning on Bourne to show up, an announcement was to be made.
The next match on the card would see The New ROH Pure Champion Chris Benoit square off against NWA U.S. Champion Drew McIntyre in a non title match. Benoit was on fire as Drew was still sore from his bout with Shaemus, taking the brunt of most of the match, eventually starting to use his strength against him. Twenty minutes in and Benoit nearly as Drew locked in the crossface as Drew rolled out of the ring, clocking Benoit over the head with the US Title getting the DQ but finished the job with the Future Shock DDT, leaving Benoit in his wake.
Nitro went for a break as the ring was set up with a table for the contract signing, DM standing in the middle of the ring knowing how this was going to go.
[Play Out]
Punk looked quite angry at the loss, Bourne just having a smirk upon his face, getting perhaps the last laugh upon Punk as DM would slowly guide them towards the table, both of them reading it and would sign their respective halves, DM ready to dismiss them when Punk grabbed the mic.
"You.....selfish....bastard. How DARE you interfere in my match at World's Collide. You destroyed NWA's chance at defeating ROH all because of your pride. If I werent' sworn to a no touch clause in the contract, I'd tear you apart right here, right now."
"Oh cry me a river Punk, as if you REALLY cared that much about ROH in the first place. For the last six months you've been on your soapbox preaching about yourself, no where did you mention the welfare of NWA at the event, I figure, my little appearance would just add more fuel to the fire."
"Oh it did Bourne and you're lucky I can't strike you due to the contract, but next week, I want you to think hard about what you've done, because the GM has alloted me Pick your Poison next week, and I already have your opponent lined up."
"It would be an...'honor' proving you wrong in two weeks Punk cause no matter what you do, I am walking out of Starrcade, New, World, Champion."
They would go nose to nose as the show would fade to commercial. Once it came back cameras caught up with CM Punk whom got into his car and just drove off though told Steph to stay close to the rest of the champions, needing to clear his head. The next match scheduled would see John Morrison sqaure off against John Cena in a clash of warriors indeed as Morrison was able to catch a win by reversing the FU into a cutter, gaining the win. Promptly afterwards the next match saw Billy Kidman go one on one with Taka from Rising Sun Dynasty. In a tough fought cruiserweight battle, Taka was able to get the win over Kidman via countout by hitting a Michonoku Driver on the floor, Kidman taking the ten count.
The next match was Pick Your Poisen as Katie Lea entered the ring with a grin, waiting to see whom her opponent was as it was of all people Mischif. Lea would grit her teeth, not expecting that kind of pick but would battle on anyway as these two women would nearly destroy each other. The rematch from Halloween Havoc lived up to its word as Lea was able to get the win over Mischif via Red Mist in the face and a roll up, exhausted and rolled to the floor.
Next match would see Ted DiBiase in singles action squaring off again Goldust. DiBiase of course not a fan of the headgames but would fight on reguardless of the mind tricks. Goldust put up one hell of a fight though DiBiase was able to hook the rope achieving the victory, smirking to himself as Priceless was just as powerful seperate as they were combined.

"Ah shut up, we may have had a small set back but like it or not, we are going to run this company back to the glory days of old whether you like it or not. Believe it or not, management in the back has yet to give me a match at Starrcade which I think it ridiculous, so here's what I"m going to do. Tonight I'm going to challenge any man in the back to a match and defeat them within five minutes. So come on boys, send out you're best."
[Play out]
Well, Jarrett got an answer alright as Dynasty's own Chono would make his way down to the ring, slowly removing his glasses as he gazed a hole through Jarrett.
"Look, I'm not sure if you understand english because you japs do nothing but supply us with cheap women and rice, but I said any man in the back, you Mr. Chono are no mere man but just a mouse in this wrestling game, so why not go back there, make me some orange chicken-"
Chono would then kick him right in the face with the Yakuza kick, breaking Jarrett's nose upon contact, hearing the bell ring. Chono would then pull Jarrett up and would drop him with the ChonoTrigger, covering him for three. Chono would look down at him in contemp as The Anderson's came down to put a stop to him though Misawa and the rest of Rising Sun Dynasty came down with Vader also coming out to help team Jarrett. Dynasty was seeming to get the upper hand having one extra member on the team until the lights cut out. The crowd roared out as Sting stood in the ring, grabbing Chono by the back of the head and would drop him with the Scorpion Deathdrop, the crowd a bit...shocked at what was going on as the lights would fade out again, Sting gone from the ring as Choon held the back of his head, not knowing, himself, what was going on.
Nitro cut to one final commercial as Grisham would take over.
"Welcome back to Nitro, we thank everyone for tuning in to World's Collide II, we're taking just a moment to thank the fans of Great Britian and all over the world for watching and appearing. Our next huge event that'll be a cross promotion is SuperCard, four promotions, one big event and apparently we are being told that Priceless is already booked to show up at the event. But lets not get ahead of ourselves as we have Starrcade coming in just two weeks. Already we have six matches booked with Priceless goign against Demolition for the Tag Team Titles, Katie Lea against Natayla, Ric Flair against Arn Anderson, A US Championship Scramble that'll pit Drew McIntyre against The Patriot, Chono, John Cena and John Morrison and the Crusierweight invitational placing Billy Kidman against Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Justin Gabriel, Taka Michonoku, Ultimo Dragon and Steven Richards, it looks to be a huge card thus far with of course World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defending agaisnt Evan 'Air' Bourne, make sure you don't miss it as we head down to the ring for the main event of the evening."
[PLay out]
Nattie was ready for her match, stretching out a little bit needing the momentum heading to Starrcade.
[Play out]
"Well hello there love, let me be the first to say that was pretty clever picking Mischif to face me earlier tonight, however, I picked an opponent suitable for another dungeon reject such as yourself, so enjoy."
[Play Out]
Coming down the aisle, we had already seen him but it was Drew McIntyre as he would give a smirk towards Lea, one given back to him as he made his way down to the ring. Nattie would yell that this wasn't, quite fair but no where in the contract did it say male or female opponent. Drew would smirk at the bell rang, Nattie now having to really step it up as Drew took his time heading towards her, locking up and would push her to the corner. Nattie came back at him as he took her down with a headlock takedown, squeezing at the head and neck, Nattie forcing herself to her feet. Drew would push her down, stomping at her as the fans just jumped on him about this, pulling her up by the hair and bashed her head into the turnbuckle, setting her on top and went for a backsuplex though Nattie fought out with a back elbow, balacing herself and came down with a cross body for one, Drew rising up and would hit her with a big boot to the face, knocking her clearly out. Drew would pull her up by the hair, slapping her over the face then dropped her with the Future Shock DDT for three.
Lea would slide into the ring, smirking at Drew as she would lean over Nattie, strattling her and told her 'sweet dreams' and finished it off with a small peck on the lips, rising up with Drew as they rose their respective titles up as the show would fade to black.
Week Four - Go Home Spectacular
"Welcome everyone to Nitro, just seven days away and the event known as Starrcade will be upon us and tonight we have a HUGE blockbuster as Pick your Poison continues as Punk and Bourne choose opponents, Priceless, Drew and Kidman team up against Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, John Morrison and John Cena, and General Manger DM has a HUGE surprise for all of us, I can't wait."
[Play Out]
"Good evening everyone, your favotire General Manager is starting us off tonight and needless to say we have really put a lot of work and effort into Starrcade this year-"
[Play Out]
Punk slowly came out, having the World Title over his shoulder, growling a bit.
"Excuse me for interrupting but I'm not going to sit here and listen to you pat yourself on the back while you've made my title reign a living breathing hell. If I had the power to, I'd drop you right here right now, but i"m not going to sick back there and wait and wait and wait for my opponent, I want him now. So Evan Bourne, I don't care who you picked for me, I want his ass out here right now so I can prove to the WORLD that I am the best in the world, Bar NONE!"
[Play Out]
Holy crap what a surprise this was as Ricky Steamboat made his way to the ring, Punk looking ready to snap at any moment as Ricky would enter the ring, looking ready to go. The bell would sound and the match was on, Punk fighting a pure wrestling game while Steamboat kept to his roots using high angle attacks. Half way through the match Evan Bourne came out to watch, cheering Steamboat on as he was caught within the Anaconda Vice. Evan would cheer him on along with the crowd as Steamboat fought his way out of it and was able to toss Punk to the floor. Punk grew angry and would grab the World Title, looking to blast him with it but Bourne pulled it out of his hands, thus causing a small distracton as Punk nearly lost to a small package, breaking out and caught Ricky in the GTS whom countered that into a dragonscrew half jackknife pin for three! If the title was on the line, Steamboat would have been a champion though he would exit the ring with a grin upon his face, getting some final revenge on Punk whom was kicking at the ropes in rage, pissed off to say the least as DM got on the mic.
"Damn Punk, thirty minutes, that's how we open up Nitro, but however, you interrupted me before my big surprise. At Starrcade we need a referee that is going to be impartial and of course not be pushed around. Last year we had a huge debacle over calling the match so this year I'm making it official. Ladies and gentleman, the special, guest, referee."
[Play Out]
Holy shit it was Jesse Ventura and Punk gritted his teeth.
"What's the matter Punk, you look like you're seeing a ghost. Oh that's right, last time we were face to face you called me a hasbeen and dropped a 100 pound barbell agaisnt my throat is that right? I may never have been World Champion but I can guarentee you this, you get out of line even one time in your match at Starrcade, I will award Evan Bourne the World Heavyweight Title. I'd rest up if I were you Punk because with me at the helm, you had better be on your toes."
Jesse would leave the ring as Punk just stood there with a far away look in his eyes, not even reacting to all of this as he cluthced his world title tigher as Nitro went to commercial.
Once it came back the crowd was already pumped up for more a Justin Gabriel went one on one against Steven Richards in a cruiserweight battle which saw Gabriel catching the victory in the end with the 450 splash.
Next match would see Masahiro Chono going one on one with Paul Burchill in a quick five minute match seeing Chono just about destroy Burchill with the ChonoTrigger.
Next match would place Lita squaring off against Melina in a tough ten minute Angel's match which saw Lita gain the win via Twist of Fate, disappointed that she wouldn't be at Starrcade but at least she was able provide the fans with one more match prior to Starrcade.
We pan to the back as Drew was talking with the other champions, going over some strategy a little bit as Kevin Kelly would break inside for a quick interview, more so asking how they strong their unit was.
"It's quite simple to answer, you see Punk entrusted us, the champions, to fight at his side and we have yet to not do so. Yes we may have foughten here and there over the last few months, but the fact of the matter is, tonight we, as a unit will destroy our opponents and myself along with the rest of this army will retain our titles at Starrcade."
Drew would push him back, going back to strategy as Lea would lean against the door frame, fixing Kevin's tie and pulled the mic to her lips.
"And for the record Kevin, just for the record that is....all of us, have won every match this company has thrown at us, do you really think that some undercard like Evan Bourne, Demoltion and the rest of them are really going to squash us? Think twice because Starrcade may be the place where dreams come true...but it's also where nightmares become...reality."
Nitro went to commercial as it saw Mitsuhara Misawa square off against Arn Anderson in a tough ten minute bout that saw Misawa get the win countering the spine buster into a DDT then the Emerald Flowsion covering for three. Misawa would grin at his victory though fled the ring as Ric Flair came flying down the ring, tackling Arn to the mat and would start to punch at him, biting even as refs would fly down to try and pull him back though Flair fought out, tackling him through the ropes to the floor as they would battle it out, these two just hating each other as Flair tackling him over the barricade, taking it to the crowd as security was trying to maintain control, Flair yelling out that he wanted Arn Anderson in the worst way, and if he had time he'd fuck the Miz too as the crowd wanted them to fight.
After that was blown over, Kevin Kelly had caught up with Ricky Steamboat.
"Ricky, in just seven days Starrcade is upon us, we're waiting for your responce from Sting."
He would look towards the camera, sweating from his match earlier.
"Sting, plain and simple, you want to go up against the Legend known as Ricky Steamboat and have the greatest match of all time, you're on. But mark my words Sting, when it is all said and done, the better man will walk away."
It was time for the first of the double main event of the evening as Punk's Army would enter the ring with Drew McIntyre leading the charge though Cody Rhodes would take a mic.
"Hold on just for a moment, before we get this match underway, there is something I need to get off my chest. Ahem......Use the Force Miz Use The Force, don't let emperor Palpatine control you and all the other WWF Tools...Don't turn to the Darkside like Gene Kishin Simmons, Use the Force..what....oh you mean he's no longer the flavour of the month? Oh well then nevermind, go back to be Awesome and the champion of video games and shit, myself and Ted will get back to Wrestling, you know, that thing that we ACTUALLY have in our blood rather some Tough Enough reject? You mock everything that is Starrcade huh boy? Just remember this...Starrcade came first, anything AFTER that is nothing more than just a copy such as that over saturated Wrestlemania that is NOW being run by some over the hill Deadman that has 'stock' in the company. Oh my god really, you're going to sit there and bitch and moan about NWA when you shiver in fear at some 90 year old Deadman. Go back to being 'awesome' and fuck that two dollar whore Chelsea that'll just end up leaving you for Super Dragon anyway and when your dick is in the dirt because a better wrestler like, oh I dont' know, Santino Marella defeats you, you can fade into obscurity where you and the rest of you reality based stars turned wrestlers belong."
He slammed the mic down as Cena, Morrison, Mysterio and Dragon came down to the ring for their match. All eight men were in top form, all of them just seeming to fight for their lives, none of them wanting to be outshined by the other, even if they were on the same team. Rhodes took the brunt of each mans attacks, DiBiase doing the best he could to back him up while Kidman would egg the crowd on, Drew guiding traffic while Cena used his strenght, Morrison his innovation, Mysterio his speed and Dragon mixing it up with double team manuevers. Both sides were very strong in this match as it would drag out close to thirty minutes, each man hitting their signature moves though Drew was able to hit the Future Shock DDT on Cena, getting the win for the team, rising up with a grin as all four of them rose up their respective titles, smirking.
Prior to the Main Event we had a recap of everything so far, the card being stacked up to the moon it seemed as Seven Huge Matches were announced, this event was going to be huge as a video package would help pump up Starrcade, also tying in World's Collide and Supercard, the main focus being upon The World Heavyweight Title.
Finally it was time for the Main Event as the bell sounded and the fans were jacked.
[Play out]
Bourne was ready, springing off of the ropes and couldn't wait for his match, getting a main event match on Nitro felt good as Punk slowly walked out upon the apron.
"Bourne....I just wanted to let you know, that despite what anyone says, our match is going to be Epic bar none--now with that being said, I leave you with your opponent for the night and just so you know.....I don't hate you......I loath you."
[Play Out]
Immediately the fans began to dread the worst for Evan Bourne as Kane slowly began to make his way to the ring, god only knew what mood he was in since World's Collide II as he entered the ring, staring at Evan as if he were a piece of meat, the bell sounding. Bourne would try his best, kicking at Kane whom just pushed him back with ease, Bourne coming at him with a spinning wheel kick and would literally smacked down to the mat, tossed with one hand to the ropes as Kane would kick and punch at him, squeezing the life out of him with his palm. He dragged Evan from the corner and would continue to punish him, tossing him around the ring and hitting heavy slams that just made the ring shake, Bourne lucky to be walking half the time. Kane tossed him out of the ring, going after him though some quick moving from Bourne he was able to kick the knee and bulldog him onto the steel stairs, running along the apron and tried for a double knee lariat though Kane caught him, powerbombing him through the announcers table.
Kane was aggitated to say the least as he picked Bourne up and would powerbomb him into the steel post, Punk watching from the stage with a grin, Kane just taking him apart as he tossed him into the ring, hitting a huge chokeslam, Bourne nearly bent in half as Kane looked ready to finish the game, pulling him up and went for the Tombstone though Bourne slid out, able to get one good kick to Kane's jaw then would go on an all out assault, able to drop him with a double knee lariat then the Asai DDT, quickly climbing the top rope and hit the Shooting Star Press to a count of one as Kane literally flung him off. Evan would try again with his feet though Kane grabbed him by the throat, trying for a chokeslam though Evan slid out, bouncing off of the rope and tried a spinning headscissor though Kane countered with a powerbomb that Bourne countered into a hurricanrana and NEARLY got two, Kane tossing him off and would hit him with a big boot over the face, Kane pulling him up and would literally snarl at him, slamming him down with an inverted chokeslam, Bourne landing face first as Kane would turn him over getting the TWO COUNT, Bourne able to kick out out of instinct. Punk was surprised as Kane slid out of the ring, the time keeper fleeing as he grabbed a steel chair, entering the ring as the ref went to stop him, Kane just pushing him with ease out of the ring as Bourne kicked the chair right in his face.
Bourne picked up the chair and would drop Kane with a climb up insiguri using the chair along with his foot, dropping him down and would hit a dropsault with the chair over his face, slowly climbing the top rope and leapt for the Shooting Star one more time, Kane getting hit with it as the ref would slid into the ring and would count one....two....NO Kane kicked out, pushing Bourne off whom bounced off the rope, coming at him as Kane blasted him over the face with the chair, forcing Bourne to flip over upon his chest, the ref ringing the bell and took a chair shot for his troubles. Kane would slam the chair over Bourne's back a few times, hearing him yell in pain as one by one security and the refs came down to restrain him though Kane would hit all of them with the chair, no one was going to go over him.
Kane would place the chair over Evan Bourne's neck and would then proceed to hit him with a Tombstone, that was Punk's plan all along, destroy Evan Bourne and he wouldn't have to wrestle at Starrcade for sure as Kane would slowly set him up.
[PLay Out]
The lights would flicker and a huge jolt of lightning struck, Kane dropping Bourne and looked towards the stage as the lights would go right out.
[Play Out]
OH MY GOD! It was The Great Muta and he was back in full form, slowly making his way down to the ring in dark red and silver attire, seeming not to forget what Kane did to him at Halloween Havoc. Muta would then enter the ring, slowly removing the hood and wore a mask that resembled that of a dragon devil, walking right up to Kane and went eye to eye. Both of these men had a small history, teaming up at SuperCard, fighting in the Prison Cell match against Sting and Hardy and then Halloween Havoc as Kane went to strike first, Muta blinding him with Red Mist. Kane would cover his face as Muta would start to kick at him, tossing him to the corner and did a handspring back elbow then a Muta Bulldog, springing to his feet and would shimy his feet, connecting with the Shining Wizard over Kane's head, waiting for him to rise and would kick him out of the ring, Kane landing on his feet and would rub at his eye, Muta standing there looking at him in a rage, spitting up to the air a Mist of Green as he would take a mic.
"Kane.......You........Me.......Starrcade!"
He would point to the banner and the crowd literally exploded along with the roof that was just shattering before their eyes, a dream match was made right there and then at the end of Monday Nitro as the show would fade......to Black.
