"Over 35,000 have all cramed themselves here in Panama, such an explosive event we have for you tonight. The Rules have changed as you can see the Ring especially has changed with black and white ropes, the vertical white turnbuckles and the canvas now grey representing the NWO, Jess I know we say this every month but tonight, the Rules May Have Changed but the prize remains the same."
"You know Uncensored had blood and guts and the destruction of what was once normal and look what we came to tonight. Gone are the colors of the NWA as the NWO have taken over, we may not be in Japan but it certainly feels like we never left. I don't know about you Gorilla but tonight, the World Title is in the most trouble that it has ever been."
"Not only the World Title but also the Cruiserweight Title, The Women's Title and The United States Championships are up for grabs as they still remain in camp NWA though Inoki looks to change that."
"Absolutely and as much as I would normally give the advantage to the challengers I think tonight, with everything on the line during this counter strike, Team NWA just might be in Jeopardy."
"The festivities are over and done, lets take you to ringside with Justin Roberts."


"Ladies and Gentleman this contest scheduled for one fall is for the NWA Women's Championship. Coming down the aisle, from Masuda Shimane Japan, The Challenger, Representing the NWO, she is the self Proclaimed Queen of Queens, Manami Toyota. Her opponent, from Buffalo New York, representing the NWA she is the reigning NWA Women's Champion, Beth Phoenix."
The bell would sound as both these girls met in the center of the ring. Beth not afraid of her knowing she had the strength, technique was going to be tricky as both women locked up. Manami quickly locked her in a headlock as Beth pushed her off, dropping to the mat as Manami came over, bouncing off the rope as Phoenix tried a hiptoss though was taken down with a headlock takedown in the process. She rose and was nailed with a dropkick, a single leg dropkick then a double rising knee to the jaw as Manami dropped her with a hard spin kick across the head knocking Beth to the corner. She would ram her shoulders into her ribs then started kicking to her ribs, pulling Beth out and went for a suplex though Beth's power was too much as she countered by literally tossing from the suplex.
Manami landed on her feet and caught Phoenix with an armdrag quickly locking in a headscissor/cross arm breaker combo and wrenched it in. Phoenix wouldn't last long as she used her other arm to break out, rising up as Toyota got her with headscissor bulldog locking in an inverted mexican surfboard as all she had to do was hold on to the bridge. Phoenix would yell out some as the hold broke, Toytoa kicking to her ribs and locked her in a front face lock, bashing to her face with her knees and was able to land a double underhook suplex, seeming to know about leverage as well.
Manami rose up and poised, coming at Beth with a running big boot though it was countered right into a capture Rydeen Buster, Toyota quickly rolling to the floor. Phoenix would make chase and pulled her up by the hair, bodyslamming her upon the floor then tossed her into the ring, hitting her with two big time suplexes and tossed her hard to the rope, tossing her up in the air and watched her smack the canvas face first chaining right into a double underhook whirling sitout powerbomb, making sure it hurt. She dragged her up and bashed her in the face with her forearms right to the corner and placed her on top.
Manami fought back with some hard shots to the head, knocking her down then blasted her in the face with both of her heels, leaping and connected with a dropsault right to the chest, Phonex being knocked back to the ropes as Manami ran with a sunset flip over her right into an inverted gullotine neckbreaker. She landed on her feet on the floor and rolled back inside, dropping Beth with a snapping spinning neckbreaker and quickly locked in the buffalo sleeper. Phoenix was able to get her foot on the rope as Toyota dragged her up and forceably slammed the back of her head into the mat. She came off the rope with a cartwheel legdrop right over the throat then baseball slid into her ribs, knocking her to the floor.
Manami moved to the top rope and would leap with a cross body though Phoenix caught her and turned it right into a Blackhole Slam right upon the floor. She rose up looking almost upset as she tossed her back into the ring, rubbing her neck some and caught her with two strong clotheslines then a gorilla press, tossing her right into the turnbuckle forcing her to lay over it and climbed up, dropping the poor girl with a super samoan drop, crashing right in the middle of the ring. Phoenix got to her feet and dragged Toyota up and locked her in a hangmans chokehold having her sprawled over her back. Manami would flail some until Beth chained it right into a KingKong Buster slamming her face first to the mat.
Phoenix grinned as she made it to her feet, dragging her up and rose her up with a chokehold, strangling her then tossed her to the rope, watching her come up and picked her up right into a torture rack starting to bounce up and down. She would let her drop and called her up, picking her up for a suplex, stalling as she held her with one palm though Toyota was able to counter it right into a snap DDT, nearly breaking Phoenix's neck.
She rose up and rubbed her back, pulling Phoenix to her feet and locked her in a double underhook and would sunset flip, doing the unthinkable double underhook sunsetflip powerbomb, the impact alone was insane as Toyota went for the cover, but only for two. She didn't seem to mind as she rose her up and chopped to her chest to the corner then kicked to the ribs. She slowly pulled her from the corner and bodyslammed her down, coming off the rope with a flying knee lariat and caught her right in the face. She waited and caught Phoenix with a fisherman suplex only for two. She wasn't detered and locked in a sleeper to keep the pressure on as Beth rose to her feet.
Manami tried scissoring the legs but she was rammed into the corner as the hold broke, Beth turning around and took a hard boot to the face as she stumbled back, Manami leaping from the middle rope but was caught in midair and dropped with a fallaway slam. She rose to her feet and waited for the right moment, coming in for a clothesline though Toyota dropped her with a toe hold chaining right into an STF. She would wrench upon her the best she could until Beth again rose to her feet and dropped her with a drop stunner, nearly knocking her out.
Beth pulled herself up and slowly made her way towards Toyota whom sprang to her feet and caught her with a vicious knee to the jaw then dropped her with a snapsuplex then an armdrag, wrapping her legs around into a cross arm breaker. Beth would eventually break out, taking hard kicks to her sides as she caught one of the legs, taking a kick to the back of her head and dropped down to her knees. Manami came off the rope with a women's style yakuza kick, nearly kicking her head off and covered, for two. She rose up and grabbed her by the hair, dropping her with a Falcon Arrow and moved to the top rope, crossing her throat with her thumb and leapt, catching Beth with a Dragonrana and covered...for two.
She would scissor her legs around Beth's waist, slowly starting to roll around the ring now to disorient her then locked in the reverse chin lock, sticking to her submission game. Beth woud slowly start to part her thighs apart, rising to her feet and turned but was blasted over the side of the face by a kick, coming off the rope as Manami picked her up upon her shoulders and dropped her with a Yebiseu Drop, covering.........for two.
Manami rose up and thought for a minute, getting behind her and tried for the Ocean Suplex, hammerlocking the arms behind and would connect with a bridge....for two. That was a bit stunning as she tossed Beth to the corner, watching her bounce off and picked her up, dropping her down with a brainbuster, covering.......for two. She kept her cool and made it to her feet, watching Beth stagger to her feet and caught her with a standing dropkick to the rope, catching her right into a wrist clutch burning hammer, rolling to her feet and hit the top rope, leaping with a picture perfect moonsault, covering........for two.
That was a bit of a surprise as she pulled Beth to her feet, jabbing at her with hard forearms, knocking her to the corner and would place her on top, slugging to her head and went for a suplerplex though Beth blocked, picking her up and dropped her with a super canadian suplex, Manami splashing face first upon the mat. An angry Phoenix rose to her feet, pulling Manami up whom racked at her eye and tossed her to the floor, thinking that was a good idea as she came off the rope and saulted with a no handed plauncha, landing on Beth whom held on, picking her up and came down with a sitout powerbomb nearly breaking her in half.
Beth would rise and tossed her into the ring, climbing upon the apron and waited, doing something risky as she came off with a springboard shoulder tackle, Manami quickly countering that right into a snap DDT, nearly breaking her neck. Manami rose up as the tides turned again, signaling this was going to be the end of the game for sure, waiting for the right moment and would come off the rope and caught Beth with the Manami Roll, rising to her feet and was ready for the Coupe De Gras, picking her up right into the Japanese Ocean Queen Bee Bomb, covering Beth......for two!
Holy crap Phoenix kicked out of that as Manami would grit her teeth a bit, dragging her up by the hair and slammed her face first into the corner and began to place her on top. She would climb behind her and locked in a sleeper though Beth would counter by literally falling back, splashing down upon Toyota on the mat. The tides turned again as Phoenix rose to her feet, ducking a kick and pounced her with a thez press, smashing her head into the mat and rose, finding her footing and caught her with a release exploder suplex. She rose up and grabbed Manami from behind, placing her upon her shoulders in the electric chair position and started to spin, eventually dropping her with the King Kong Buster, Manami holding her face as she moved back to her feet and was rammed to the corner.
Beth would punch to her head and set her on top, taking a look back and knew what she was going to attempt to do, rising up and locked the arms, looking for a super overhook suplex though Manami was able to counter right into an Avalanche Yoshi Tonic, splashing the mat hard and covered......for two! Manami looked frustrated now, arguing with the ref that it was a three as she rose up, swinging hard with a fist as Beth quickly ducked and countered right into the GlamSlam and that seemed to take all of her energy.
Slowly both women rose to their feet, Manami striking first with a kick to the gut, coming off the rope with a spinning neck breaker, taking her down and locked in the sleeper, wanting to keep the pressure on. Beth was starting to fade a little bit as her arm would drop a few times and her head would dip down. The ref would check her arm but Beth would shake it off, starting to rise to her feet though Toyota would toss her to the corner, watching her smack off and picked her up for the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex though Beth slid out, picking up Toyota and landed her with the GlamSlam covering quickly..........for two?
Phoenix looked at the ref in question, that was a first as she looked at Toyota whom was already starting to stir. She picked her up again for the GlamSlam though she used her heels and kicked to her gut to break free, hitting the rope and came at her with a leg lariat right to the face, knocking her to the corner. Toyota caught her with a cartwheel back elbow then a bulldog, seeming to have this now locked in, kicking hard to the side of her head, grappling from behind and rose her up for an inverted Fisherman Buster though Beth would flip back and landed on her feet, quickly grabbing Toyota from behind and dropped her with the GlamSlam, rolling her over for the cover........for three.
"Ladies and Gentleman here is your winning and STILL NWA Women's Champion, Beth, Phoenix."
It took a while though the Glamazon still reigned supreme it the women's division. She had to give the devil her due though and Toyota gave her one hell of a fight though in the end Phoenix was able to rise above and take her down in the final moments. She would leave ringside and rubbed her jaw some, not even looking back at her opponent whom lay flat in the middle of the ring, Beth raising her title up on the way back up the ramp and stepped through the curtain.

"Ladies and Gentleman this contest scheduled for one fall is for the NWA Cruiserweight Championship."
[Play Out]
"Ladies and Gentleman this contest scheduled for one fall is a triple threat for the NWA Cruiserweight Championship. Standing to my immediate left the challenger, from Japan, weighing in at 250 lbs, making his cruiserweight debut..The Great Koji. Standing over to my left the other challenger, from Japan, weighing in at 180 lbs, with a win loss record of 32 Wins, 3 Loses and 8 by submission, Ultimo Dragon. And standing over to my right, from South Africa, weighin in at 223 lbs with a win loss record of 17 Wins, 0 Loses and 10 Knock Outs, he is the defending Cruiserweight Champion, Justin Gabriel."
The bell would sound and immediately Gorilla was pointing out the fact that Koji was way too be to even be involved in this match, the cut off was 230 and Koji was twenty pounds overweight, though the ref was given instructions as the match went underway. Gabriel was backed in a corner here as this was OBVIOUSLY a handicap match, Dragon kept looking over to Koji whom looked ready to pounce at any moment, Gabriel keeping on his guard trying to think of strategy. Koji came at him with a kick as Gabriel dodged and tackled him down, hitting Dragon in the gut and sprang up, quickly hitting a snap suplex, then drop kicked Koji down, then a dropkick to Dragon, then another to Koji then another to Dragon, coming off the rope. They would try a double hip toss though Gabriel would smack into the rope and flipped back, dragging Koji and Dragon down on the rebound, coming off the rope and caught both of them with leg lariats and sent them to the floor.
Gabriel came off the rope and leapt with a summersault plauncha, crashing below upon both of them. He rose and tossed Dragon into the ring, starting to kick at him along the back and legs, which didn't seem to go over well as Dragon started to fight back as well with kicks of his own. Gabriel and Dragon would exchange kicks, screw the chops, this was blantant kicking to the legs, ribs, arm, anywhere they could taking turns waiting to see whom would blink first. Gabriel and Dragon each hit ten hard kicks as they would now hit each others shins at the same time, then again, and again, and again, and again, hitting each other over and over again as they finally broke away, each of them rubbing their shins in pain as the crowd would clap.
They met in the center of the ring, Gabriel talking trash as Dragon decked him in the face and locked in a side headlock though was pushed off as Dragon did a handstand rope back elbow, Gabriel catching him and flung him with a german suplex right into Koji whom tried to get back ito the ring. Gabriel grabbed the arm and would wrench on it a few times until Dragon would counter it with an arm wrench himself. Gabriel would move around the mat with acrobatic moves and countered it right back as Dragon would do the same but was able to break the hold by hitting the rope and caught Gabriel with a spinning head scissor.
Dragon rushed in and caught him with a spinning wheel kick, coming off the rope springboarding with a legdrop though Gabriel caught the legs and would sling shot him to the ropes, watching him fall over the rope to the floor. He had little to celebrate over as Koji leapt off the rope with a dropsault, catching Gabriel right in the chest and knocked him to the ropes. Koji rolled to his feet and caught him with a snapmare then a hammerlock slam, quickly locking in a triangle choke. Gabriel kicked with his feet a bit and would twist his body a bit, able to weasle his way out and dropped Koji with an armdrag then a stiff kick to the jaw knocking him to the corner.
Gabriel would start to kick at his ribs and head, hitting the middle rope and punched over his head then quickly jumped off and caught Dragon with a cross body, rolling to his feet. Dragon came at him as Gabriel locked up with him, Dragon tossing him to the corner right towards Koji whom held his foot up. Gabriel slid under him right to the floor, grabbing Koji's ankles and pulled him back, slamming him crotch first into the post then rolled back into the ring, dodging a kick from Dragon and kicked him in the back of the head and quickly dropped him with a back suplex, going for the cover...for two.
Gabriel knew he couldn't waist time, pulling Dragon up but was struck in the throat with a chop then hit the corner as Dragon did a cartwheel back elbow and connected, coming off the rope and got Gabriel with a reverse tornado DDT. Dragon rose to his feet and picked Gabriel up for a whirling torture rack backdrop then a snapmare with a hard kick to the spine. Dragon went for a sleeper though Gabriel quickly grabbed a hold of his head and planted from a seated position three hard kicks to his head. He sprang up and charged in with a roundhouse kick, missing as Dragon got him with a knee to the jaw then quickly a hurricanrana, covering..for two.
Dragon would wrench at the arm and kicked to his chest a few times, doing some acrobatics and springboarded off the rope though Gabriel somehow was able to jump and caught him in midair with a kick to the chest, rolling to his feet and clotheslined Dragon hard out of the ring and would skin the cat back inside. On the way in he caught Koji by the head and would head scissor him face first into the buckle. Gabriel moved quickly and tried to set him up but was hit with a back elbow to the face, Koji coming off the rope with a corkscrew dropkick right to his face. Koji came at him and rammed his knee right into his face then moonsaulted off the rope, covering for two.
Koji didn't mind as he would grab a hold of Gabriel and rammed his knee into his face a few more times, locking him in a butterfly lock. Gabriel would growl a bit, trying to reach the rope with his foot, eventually getting it as Koji let go, only to drag him up and spiked him with a pile driver. He came off the rope and would drop a few knees over his face then turned him over on his belly, rubbing his face into the canvas before picking him up, dropping him with a dangerous double underhook powerbomb, Gabriel landing badly on his neck and was covered...for two.
Koji would drag him up, tossing him hard to the corner and splashed him, slowly placing him on top and climbed up, hitting over his head and went for a superplex though Gabriel was able to block, starting to fight back and countered with a Super Falcon Arrow from the top rope, splashing down hard. Gabriel was the first one up as Koji staggered holding his face and dropped with a Fameasser right to the mat, Gabriel rising up and took a vicious cresent kick to the face from Dragon whom was back in action, taking him down with a dragonscrew, a mandara twist, a shin breaker, a knee breaker then flapjack right upon the knee.
Dragon pulled him up and placed him in the corner, placing his leg over the rope and started to kick firmly at it, Gabriel trying to fight back though with one punch he was dropped with an armwrench takedown then hit with a spinkick right to the face. Gabriel sat in the corner a bit stunned as Dragon came off the far end and nearly dropkicked his head off, dragging Gabriel to the middle of the ring and covered...for two. Tough he was as both of them pulled Gabriel to his feet, tossing him to the rope and missed the double elbow as Gabriel came in with a flying double clothesline, Gabriel rising to his feet and kicked Dragon hard to the corner, grabbing Koji and tossed him as he crashed into Dragon, taking Koji down with a back suplex then caught Dragon with a suplex, having him crash onto Koji.
Gabriel lined up his shot and got Dragon right in the jaw, pulling Koji up whom quickly countered with a mongolian chop to the throat, coming off the rope with a spinning shoulder block right to his face. Koji pushed himself up and went for a buzzsaw kick though Gabriel ducked and caught him from behind and quickly applied a Tiger Back Suplex, covering......no Dragon broke the count with a bodysplash, the ref counting again.......no Gabriel kicked out.
Dragon would pull him up, wrenching on the arm and kicked to the chest and the back of the knee, dropping Gabriel down to his knee and kicked to his back then one hard shot to the face, moving to the top rope and leapt with a moonsault though Gabriel rolled out of the way. Dragon landing on his feet and came in, Gabriel able to pick him up by the waist and came down with a Rydeen Buster, rolling back and was hit hard in the back of the head with a devastating kick from Koji, watching him bounce off the rope groggy as he picked Gabriel up and came down with the TTD, nearly breaking Gabriel's neck as he covered.......for two.
That was very close as Koji slammed him hard to the corner, kicking to his ribs and slugged over his head, placing him on top and would headbutt him, trying for this again as this time he dropped him with a superplex, straddling him and started to punch at his face until Gabriel blocked and dragged him down right into a modified version of an armbar, locking it in tightly. Gabriel locked it in as Koji was unable to power out due to the leverage. Gabriel had to let go as he saw Dragon rise and make a move, sweeping at the leg and went back to Koji whom would sweep him down and quickly applied the Koji Clutch.
Gabriel was stuck as he tried to fight out but he only had one arm free and that wasn't even close, nearly dropping a few times but heard the crowd get behind him as he refused to give in no matter how tight the clutch may have been applied. Gabriel would struggle and used his legs the best he could and started to make his way towards the rope painfully slow, his foot just reaching the rope as the hold would break. Koji was a bit pissed as he released and kicked him hard to the ribs as Gabriel struggled to his feet. He charged in but was backbody dropped to the floor, Gabriel catching his footing but was then locked into a Dragon Sleepr.
Gabriel was trapped in this one as Dragon was a master of this hold and Gabriel knew it as he was bent backward in this lock. Dragon would sway a bit to keep the pressure on and kept Gabriel off his game as his arm would dangle a few times. The ref would check but Gabriel refused again to to give up, having to keep out of these submissions at all cost, grabbing a hold of Dragon's arm and kicked up a few times with his foot and connected hard to the skull as the hold broke.
He caught his balance and dropped Dragon with a fireman's carry, coming off the rope and caught him with an awkward wheel kick, moving to the top rope and would poise himself, leaping for the 450 as Koji grabbed Dragon by the leg and dragged him out of the way as Gabriel hit the mat hard. Koji came off the rope with the Hyper Knee Cougar right to the face, picking him up and dropped him with the CCD, landing that painfully on Gabriel's neck. Dragon entered the ring as Koji placed Gabriel on his shoulders as Dragon climbed the rope, leaping with a dropsault though Gabriel ducked and tossed Koji with a victory roll toss right into the buckle as Dragon crashed and burned, Gabriel poising and connected with the Goodnyte right upon Koji, moving over to Dragon and quickly applied the CobraLock or in this case Purgatory and dropped him down.
Gabriel had it locked in tightly and no one had every broken out of this hold as Dragon struggled to get free but Gabriel wouldn't let go for all the money in the world. The fans went nuts as Dragon was unable to get out of this hold and his hand dropped to the mat. The ref would check his arm a few times but Dragon started to get more blood flowing through his body, trying to twist his body and at least get to his feet though it wasn't working due to Gabriel scissoring the legs. Dragon was starting to fade again though Koji was able to hit Gabriel over the head and forced him to break the hold.
Koji was in control now as Dragon coughed to get some air back in his lungs. Koji would pick him up and slammed him to the corner, ramming his shoulders into his ribs until Gabriel countered with a hard knee to his face, hitting the middle rope and leapt with a quick saulting back elbow, rising to his feet and slammed Koji down with a Key Clasher slam but was unable to hold the pin for long as he rose up, preparing for another strike when he was kicked in the gut and slammed down with an Asai DDT, Dragon going for the cover.........No Koji.....pulled Dragon off and covered Gabriel......no...Dragon pulled Koji off as they would go face to face.
They would exchange words as Koji pushed Dragon then Dragon pushed him back as Koji would then forceably push Dragon down to the mat, yelling at him to 'know his place as he went back to Gabriel, picking him up and tossed him to the rope, aiming for a thrust kick but missed as Gabriel slid under him and got him with a leaping hurricanrana, rising up and caught Dragon's foot and dropped him with a mule kick. He turned around and saw Koji come at him, dropping him with a backbody drop, charging in though both Dragon and Koji dropped him with a double team spine buster, both of them would scramble for the pin as Koji pushed him off then Dragon pushed him off, both men rising to their feet as Koji pushed him hard then Dragon struck back with a kick to the face.
He wasn't taking his crap anymore and the fans were actually starting to rally though Koji would start to fight back, picking Dragon up with a flapjack right into the corner then sprayed him with yellow/orange mist right in the face, picking him up and would drop him with the CCD, yelling at him a bit almost. He would turn around and picked up Gabriel and slammed him down with a big time bodyslam, crossing this throat to end this fight as he would move him to the corner and placed him on top, punching to his head though Gabriel caught his balance, starting to fight back though lost his balance and would crotch the buckle, Koji now trying to finish this officialy. He went to suplex him though he was hit in the back by Ultimo Dragon whom pulled him off and dropped him with an electric chair.
Dragon rose up with Koji but took a hard kick to the face getting knocked to the corner. Koji would charge in but was blasted in the face with Blue Mist, blinding him and was able to hit him with the Asai DDT, covering Koji........just when the ref went to hit three Gabriel leapt with the 450, crashing on Koji as Dragon moved out of the way just in time, Gabriel rising up and took a hard kick to the gut, Dragon applying the Asai DDT and made sure to also land on Koji in the process, covering Gabriel...........for three.
"Ladies and Gentleman here is your winner and the NEW NWA Cruiserweight Champion, Ultimo Dragon."
This was quite bittersweet as Dragon finally captured the Cruiserweight Title but also it was in the hands of camp NWO as the replays showed the highlights of this incredible three way bout as Dragon left the ring with his title. Gabriel rising to his feet, limping a bit and heard the rally of fans behind him. 8 months he held that title proudly and brought something innovative and new to the division and actually made the Cruiserweight Title worth more than what Evan Bourne even did for it. He accepted the loss as he would raise his fist up in triumph and rolled out of the ring, taking off his elbow pads and tossed them into the crowd, mouthing to the camera that 'he would get it back', heading up the ramp.
"What a heartbreaker that was Jess, I hate to take anything away from Gabriel but it essentially was two on one here tonight and he put up one hell of a fight."
"You know I rarely say this about anyone but Gabriel has earned my respect and he has nothing to be ashamed of here tonight."
"The heart of a champion with or without the strap Jess, this won't be the last time we see Gabriel I promise you that."
Kevin Kelly was walking through the hallways, very nervously knocking on the NWO locker room door before slowly entering. "Uh, Mr. Inoki sir? I was wondering if I could have a word with you?"
"Ah yes, come in, what did you want to speak with me about?"
"Well, I was curious about your thoughts on the upcoming United States Championship Match, this seems to be the only title that you cannot capture from the NWA-" Inoki cut him off at the pass.
"Why don't you ask... that man?"
Kevin turned around and bumped into the Silent Assassin himself, Hirooki Gotoh. He only spoke three words: "Morrison... is... finished." Three words, but one hell of an awesome impact, for sure, as Kevin left the room quietly, not wanting to be another victim.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA United States Championship!"
[Play out]
Morrison looked at his adversary as Gotoh was not one to be messed with, and he knew it. The bell rang and Morrison charged forward, Gotoh catching him with an arm drag. Morrison ran forward again and was taken over with another arm drag, Gotoh getting right back up to his feet, waiting for him to come back in again. They locked up in the center of the ring, trying to get the superior position over the other, and it was Gotoh who got it. He locked in a side headlock, wrenching down on it hard. Morrison tried to shoot him off the ropes, but Gotoh held on and slid to a knee, bringing Morrison down with him.
Morrison got back to his feet and delivered a couple right hands to try and break the headlock, but Gotoh held on strong. Morrison tried to lift him for a suplex, but Gotoh dropped forward and took him over with a headlock takedown, still holding onto it. Morrison couldn't get out of it as he inched his way to the rope, getting his foot on them, the ref breaking the hold. Gotoh got back up in the center of the ring as Morrison kneeled down, looking up at his opponent. Gotoh stood unmoving, like the guardian of a temple as Morrison tried to move in, Gotoh sprang forward like a snake, picking him up and driving him to the corner. He delivered shoulder block after shoulder block to Morrison, taking him out of the corner with a huge hip toss.
Morrison landed on his feet and went for a clothesline, missing as Gotoh ducked. He turned around into a beautiful standing dropkick from Gotoh, knocking him to the apron. Gotoh was unrelenting as he delivered a second standing dropkick straight into Morrison's face, taking him off the apron to the floor below. Gotoh came to the outside and picked Morrison up, suplexing him straight onto the floor before tossing him into the ring, covering for a two. He picked Morrison back up and fired him into the corner, coming in with a high impact clothesline, pulling him out and hitting a vertical exploder suplex out of the corner. Morrison was getting tossed around like a ragdoll, as he couldn't get in any offense.
Gotoh closed the distance and hooked him for the GoToh Heaven early, but Morrison went up and over and slid to the outside, trying to get some distance between the two of them. Gotoh left the ring as Morrison slid back inside quickly. Gotoh got back to the apron as Morrison dropkicked him in the face, but Gotoh still stood. He got back into the ring gingerly as Morrison hammered away with elbows to the face, rocking him to the corner. He attempted a monkey flip, but Gotoh held him and dumped him over the rope, Morrison landing on the apron. Morrison went for a roundhouse kick, but Gotoh caught his foot and capture suplexed him from the apron straight into the ring! The fans were impressed with that, even giving Gotoh a small ovation for the spectacular move as he covered quickly. 1.... 2.... no! Morrison barely got out of that.
Gotoh had the match completely in his grasp as he picked Morrison up and pushed him to the corner, setting him on the top rope. He then grabbed a hold of his leg and went to dragon screw it, but Morrison kicked off of him and leapt off the second rope with a flying back elbow, taking Gotoh down. Morrison hit a flying leg lariat, going for the cover, getting a two. Gotoh got back to his feet as Morrison was picking up the pace, sending him off the ropes. He attempted a clothesline, but Gotoh quickly hooked his arm and connected with a floatover DDT in one swift motion. He picked Morrison up and connected with a second DDT for good measure, covering. 1.... 2.... no! Morrison got a shoulder up again as Gotoh picked him back up, tossing him to the ropes. He launched Morrison high into the air who answered with a quick dropkick to rock Gotoh back.
Morrison charged forward, but Gotoh caught him with a spear takedown, grabbing a hold of his legs, quickly turning it into a Texas Cloverleaf. Morrison fought long and hard and was able to get back under Gotoh as he didn't know the submission too well, and Morrison kicked him off. Gotoh used the momentum to bounce off the ropes and come back with a rolling neck snap, ala Mr. Perfect. Morrison rolled to the outside, holding his neck, as Gotoh stood tall in the ring, not even breathing heavy as the match was almost all his.
"Morrison can't get in any offense, what do you make of this, Jesse?"
"Gotoh's a counter wrestler, no matter what you do, he's going to block it and turn it into something that can hurt you. I think we're going to see a new United States Champion here, Gorilla."
Gotoh reached over the ropes and grabbed Morrison by the hair, but Morrison countered with a pele kick to the side of Gotoh's face, rocking him back to the center of the ring, Gotoh falling to a seated position. Morrison got to the apron and springboarded off the top rope, hitting a dropkick straight into Gotoh's face, going for the cover. 1.... 2.... no! Gotoh kicked out of it as Morrison tried to get an offensive going. He bounced off the ropes and hit a standing shooting star, still only getting a two count. Gotoh got back to his feet as Morrison backed him into the corner, mounting him for a ten punch. Gotoh pushed him off, Morrison backflipping and landing on his feet. He went to charge in, but Gotoh ran forward and blasted Morrison dead between the eyes with a running boot, flipping him straight onto his front. He covered Morrison after that, 1.... 2.... no! Morrison was able to recover from that one somehow.
Gotoh again hooked him for the GoToh Heaven, but Morrison was able to counter into a quick arm drag, sending him out of the ring. Morrison flew from the other side with a corkscrew plancha, but Gotoh countered straight into a powerslam on the floor! Gotoh was in complete control as he picked Morrison up and dropped him throat first onto the railing, just keeping him down. He fired Morrison back into the ring and covered, still only getting a two count. Morrison was getting dominated as Gotoh grabbed one of his legs, trying to pick him up. Morrison leapt up to his feet and went for an enziguiri, but Gotoh caught his other foot, slingshotting him into the corner! Morrison used this and leapt up to the top rope, coming off with a quick moonsault, taking Gotoh down! 1.... 2.... no! Gotoh barely kicked out as Morrison flew off the ropes, leapfrogging over Gotoh, coming from the other side with a floatover arm drag.
Morrison was using his speed as he leveled Gotoh with a running dropkick, sending him to the corner. Morrison ran full speed ahead and this time hit the monkey flip before ascending the top rope again. He came off with a missile dropkick, connecting straight in the mouth, but Gotoh was already back on his feet, dizzy as all hell. Morrison came charging with a cross body block that took the two men up and over the top rope to the floor, Morrison landing on his feet. He sent Gotoh into the steps headfirst, then tossed him back inside, finally getting in some offense. He picked Gotoh up and lifted him for a suplex, but Gotoh went up and over and locked Morrison's arms, going to Glam Slam him, but Gotoh fell forward with it, dropping Morrison with a double chickenwing facebuster!
Both men lay on the canvas as Gotoh got to a seated position first, pulling himself up in the corner groggily. Gotoh got back to his feet and picked Morrison up, who was completely out of it. He crossed his throat with his thumb, signalling for the Shouten, as he loaded Morrison up for it, but Morrison went up and over, rolling him up in a school boy! 1.... 2.... no! Gotoh kicked out of it and blasted Morrison in the side of the head as he was getting up, sending him back to the floor. Gotoh was the dominant force in this match, it was almost all him since the opening bell. He picked Morrison up and blasted him face first into the apron and delivered a reverse knife edge. Morrison answered this with a roundhouse kick that somehow, DIDN'T knock Gotoh down as he bounced off the apron, going for the Flying Chuck, but Gotoh caught him and spinebusted him straight to the floor!
Morrison was getting schooled in every single way, as he got rolled back inside the ring, Gotoh covering. 1.... 2.... NO! Morrison still kicked out, and Gotoh was starting to get a little frustrated. He picked Morrison up and placed him in the corner, setting him on the top rope. He hooked Morrison up with a double underhook, coming off with a double underhook superplex, Morrison bouncing off the mat with a sickening thud! Gotoh rolled Morrison onto his back and covered him for 1.... 2.... NO! He still kicked out, and Gotoh was getting pissed off. Gotoh stood and waited, poising himself for what looked like a superkick. He fired one off, but Morrison ducked and hit a spinning heel kick to the back of Gotoh's head, knocking him straight out! He quickly covered him for 1.... 2.... NO! Gotoh got his shoulder off the mat somehow! Gotoh got back to his feet on his own power, but he was lucky he got up at all, as Morrison flew at him with a cross body, Gotoh catching him! He hit a fallaway slam over the ropes, but Morrison held onto the rope, saving his life.
Morrison turned Gotoh around and roundhouse kicked his face again, knocking him straight down, as he climbed the top rope again. Morrison leapt off with a Phoenix Driver Moonsault, but Gotoh got his knees up at the last second, drilling into Morrison's chest! He covered Morrison, hooking the leg, 1.... 2.... NO! Morrison's free foot somehow found that bottom rope, saving his title for just a little longer.
"Great ring presence by Morrison."
"I wouldn't call it that, Monsoon, I think he just got lucky, Gotoh has been kicking his ass all around the ring. We're gonna see a new champion in just a few more minutes, I can feel it."
Gotoh picked Morrison up and locked the wrist, going for the GoToh Heaven again. He lifted Morrison up for it, but Morrison hooked his throat with his arm and hit an inverted neckbreaker, countering it! He springboarded off the second rope with a cross body, catching him and taking him down! 1.... 2.... no! Gotoh pushed him off and sprang to his feet, Morrison catching him with a jumping spinning heel kick. Morrison got back up and hooked Gotoh up for a vertical suplex stunner, connecting with it nicely, taking Gotoh down. He waited in the corner for Gotoh to rise, readying for the Nitro Blast. He came out of the corner and fired off, but Gotoh caught his foot, hitting a capture powerbomb! Gotoh covered for 1.... 2.... NO! Morrison kicked out of it somehow!
Gotoh couldn't believe it, John Morrison was tougher than he thought, as he got back to his feet and went for a Shining Wizard, but Morrison was able to duck underneath it, but barely. Morrison hit a quick neckbreaker on Gotoh, sending him to a sitting position, coming off the ropes with his signature knockout knee smash, but Gotoh ducked it and rolled Morrison up backwards, straight into the Cross Legged STF! Morrison was NOT getting out of this one, as Gotoh had his submission finisher locked in tight. Morrison was struggling to the ropes, being inches away as Gotoh wrenched back on his neck, going to snap him in half if he didn't tap out.
Morrison was in this hold for what felt like a decade as he just was out of reach of the ropes, his hand rose, he was gonna tap! He almost hit the mat with his hand, but was able to stop himself as Gotoh just cranked the pressure on, the fans rallying Morrison onward. Morrison couldn't take much more as he was about to tap out... when he reached out one more time, BARELY getting the ropes, but getting the bottom rope indeed. The referee broke the hold, Gotoh holding until 4, almost 5, the referee forcibly pulling Gotoh off.
Morrison was out of it, there was no recovering from that brutal submission lock, as Gotoh picked him up, signalling for the Shouten again. He picked Morrison up, but Morrison kicked at his knees, breaking the hold. He blasted Gotoh with a third roundhouse, but Gotoh still stood on his feet! He kicked Gotoh in the gut and grabbed his head, going for the Moonlight Drive, but Morrison was countered right into the GoToh Heaven! This was it, Gotoh scrambled to the center of the ring and turned Morrison over, hooking both legs for 1.... 2.... 3-NO!!!! Oh my god, no! Morrison was able to somehow kick out of that one, the ref's hand even hit the mat on that, but he DID get the shoulder up before the three, as the replays showed in ultra slow motion.
Gotoh was furious, but he knew he could still finish the job. He crossed his throat again, screaming those same three words he said before. "Morrison is finished!!!" He picked a lifeless Morrison up by the hair and loaded him up for the Shouten, lifting him high into the air. He dropped him down, but Morrison hooked the head and turned it into a DDT, rolling through and hooking the legs for a small package DDT cradle! 1.... 2.... 3!!!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still NWA United States Champion, John Morrison!"
Amazing! John Morrison beat a counter wrestler with an incredible, bottom of the 9th, 4th quarter counter of the Shouten into a small package DDT cradle for the three count, as Morrison's hand was lifted into the air, being presented the US Title. Gotoh got back to his feet groggily as his head was spiked into the mat, he was furious, but the referee told him it was a three. He left the ring in disgust, but truth be told, he had nothing to be ashamed of, as some of the fans in attendance were applauding him for his effort. Back in the ring, Morrison finally got back to his feet and was officially declared the winner, as the referee rose his hand in the air, Morrison dropping onto his knees before rolling out of the ring, high fiving a few of the fans before getting backstage, where he was met... by Gotoh.
Gotoh stared Morrison dead in the face and looked at the US Title. He actually extended his palm out to Morrison, and Morrison looked at it reluctantly. With a bit of apprehension, Morrison shook Gotoh's palm and went to walk away, but Gotoh pulled him back. A man of few words, Gotoh only spoke: "Next time..." before letting go and walking off. Perhaps respect was shown, but Morrison now had someone else gunning for his US Title full-time. Kevin Kelly caught up with the champion.
"John Morrison, outstanding match out there, but you got destroyed through most of it, how were you able to overcome all that?"
"Without a doubt, that was my toughest match in the NWA, possibly of my career, next to the match I had with Shawn Michaels. Hirooki Gotoh is an outstanding wrestler, take nothing away from him. I'm just disappointed that someone who's that talented and that great of an athlete is associated with the NWO. I definitely look forward to wrestling him again in the near future."
"What was the handshake about?"
"One word only. Respect. I beat him fair and square, and he knows it, but he gave me the toughest challenge this company has ever given me. He wants another title shot, he'll have to earn it, but I won't duck his challenge. I'll be waiting for the next time I face him one on one, you can bet on that."
"Thank you again, ladies and gentlemen, still your United States Champion, John Morrison, John, great show out there, congratulations."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA World Tag Team Championships!"

Oh my god... The look on Chono's face would scare off a serial killer as he glared at "Masahiro" Goldust, Mutoh wasn't there to calm him down, he'd likely have killed him. Chono left the ring as Mutoh was going to start this match. He was already embarassed when Goldust dressed up as "The Great Dust", so it was revenge for both of them. Cody locked up with Mutoh who immediately took him over with a suplex. He got back up right in front of Chono who threatened to blast him, but he turned around into a superkick from Mutoh, barely getting out of a two count.
Cody was no match fo Keiji and he knew it, rolling to the outside to regain his thoughts. Chono and Mutoh discussed strategy as Cody slid back in and actually had the balls to tag in Goldust. Mutoh went to walk forward but Chono tagged himself in and sprinted forward, shoving Keiji straight out of the ring. Goldust hit him with a drop toe hold, and Chono got back up, getting ping ponged between Rhodes and Goldust! Cody got back in as they delivered a double team combo: a left, another left, a third left, then a double dancing elbow, knocking Chono straight out of the ring! Chono was pissed off as Keiji tried to calm him down, Chono just shoved him on his ass.
"Wow, Jesse! Is there dissention among the NWO?"
"No. Goldust has just pissed of Chono, and believe me, that is NOT the smartest thing in the world to do."
Chono got back into the ring with Goldust and charged in again, getting taken down with a hip toss. Chono got right back up and missed a clothesline, Goldust taking him over with a powerslam! Holy crap, Chono was getting schooled by Goldust as he sent Chono into the ropes, dropping him with a back body drop. Chono swung like a madman, but Goldust ducked and hit an atomic drop before coming off the ropes with a flying hip block, knocking Chono down. He covered, but only got a one. Cody quickly tagged in as Goldust tripped Chono with another drop toe hold, Cody quickly hitting a legdrop onto the back of Chono's neck, locking in a headlock.
Chono got back up to his feet and sent Cody into the ropes, missing another clothesline as Cody came off with a cross body, taking Chono down! He got a two count before getting tossed off, coming off the ropes again. Chono missed a clothesline as Cody came from the other side, but Chono connected with this clothesline, flipping Cody a complete flip and sprinting to Goldust, pulling him into the ring.
Chono was pissed off and went to swing for Goldust, but Goldust ducked and blew gold glitter into his face! Cody came back with a missile dropkick to Chono's face, knocking him clear out of the ring! Cody climbed the top rope and flew off with a flying body press, crashing right down onto Chono, taking him out! Chono's anger was getting the best of him as he couldn't stay focused at all, Mutoh trying to help him back to his corner. Chono was screaming at him in Japanese as Mutoh tried to calm him down, telling him something. He whispered in Chono's ear as Chono rolled back into the ring with Cody, wiping his eyes. Before they locked up, Goldust had grabbed a hold of Chono's sunglasses.
"Oh Jesus Christ Dustin, what are you thinking?"
"I think he's gonna throw Chono off his game, Jesse."
Goldust tagged back in and put the sunglasses on himself, egging Chono on. Chono's eyes seethed with rage as he charged in, hammering away on Goldust in the corner. The referee pushed Chono off, but Chono shoved him out of the way, giving Goldust an opening as he planted a stiff kick right between Chono's legs! He covered for 1.... 2.... NO! Mutoh barely broke it up, but that was close. It was obvious that Goldust and Cody had Chono off his game as Goldust fired Chono off the ropes. Chono reversed it and lowered his head, Goldust sliding underneath and chopping his throat.
Chono was being taken apart as Goldust mounted him and actually rubbed on his chest before firing away a ten punch. He nailed all ten of them before running to the ropes again. Chono got back up and fired a Yakuza kick, nailing Goldust dead between the eyes, but didn't even bother to cover him. He picked Goldust up and propped him in the corner, chopping his chest. Mutoh called for the tag, but Chono didn't listen, he wanted Goldust all to himself. He tossed Goldust to the ropes and back body dropped him straight over the post, Goldust landing on the stairs!
Cody ran over to check on Goldust, but was cut off by Chono who clotheslined the Dashing right out of him. He grabbed Cody and launched him full strength right into the steps, which in turn, crashed back into Goldust, doing even more damage to him. Chono picked Goldust up and sent him into the ring, taking off the sunglasses and throwing them away, screaming at Goldust. He picked him up and dropped him with a ChonoTrigger right in the center of the ring. Cody came to help out, but he was sent straight over the top rope with a Yakuza Kick.
Chono picked Goldust up again and delivered a second ChonoTrigger, putting an exclamation mark on it. He didn't cover even once as he picked Goldust up and dropped him with a THIRD ChonoTrigger, for the love of God, Chono just didn't care anymore! The referee told him to cover, Chono stared at him, causing him to flee the ring. He picked Goldust back up and tossed him to the ropes, catching him coming off with a Yakuza Kick, busting him wide open. Finally, he covered Goldust for 1.... 2.... Chono pulled Goldust up.
"Oh my god, this is uncalled for, Jesse!"
"I told you that he shouldn't have made fun of Chono, now he's going to pay the price."
Chono picked Goldust up and delivered one more Yakuza kick, taking Goldust down in the center of the ring. He placed his foot on Goldust's chest for 1.... 2.... 3.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners and still NWA World Tag Team Champions, Masahiro Chono and Keiji Mutoh!"
Cody Rhodes got back to his feet and looked at his fallen brother, not even daring to enter the ring while NWO was still in there as Keiji pulled Chono out of the ring, lest Chono be arrested for attempted murder as the referee handed them their belts. Goldust, surprisingly, didn't need help getting out of the ring, but damn was he battered to hell, as Cody got back in the ring, he could audibly be heard saying "What the hell were you thinking???" Chono looked back and screamed out "FUCK YOU!" before turning around and walking back with Keiji... Goldust just learned a valuable lesson: Do not piss off Masahiro Chono.

Part 2


"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall!"
[Play out]
Punk had enough of Jeff Hardy's Regime of Xtreme, and he had to take down Matt Hardy as well, this was not going to be easy. The bell rang as the two men began to circle each other, locking up in the center of the ring. Matt quickly applied a hammerlock, Punk reversing it into one of his own. Matt went back to the hammerlock and Punk flipped backwards over him, landing on his feet. He went for the roundhouse kick, but Matt ducked it and lifted him into the air, driving him into the corner. Matt swung hard, but Punk ducked out of the way and got back to the center of the ring. He wated and caught Matt coming in with an arm drag, locking in an armbar to keep him down, posting his face with his knee.
Matt got back up to his feet and delivered an elbow to Punk's face. He sent him another one, breaking the armbar and came off the ropes. Punk hit a quick powerslam cover for two. Matt rolled to his feet and saw Punk charging in with a clothesline, getting taken down. Matt rolled to the outside to take a breather, but Punk didn't let him, following him out. He turned Matt around and rocked him with a right hand, then drove his face into the annouce table, sending him back into the ring. Matt got back up and took Punk down with a headlock takedown, but Punk nipped up to his feet and slapped Matt straight in the face!
Matt turned around and was furious, charging full speed ahead, but Punk lowbridged him, Matt sailing to the floor. Punk grabbed the rope and vaulted over, crashing onto Matt, hammering away on him before rolling back into the ring, the referee continuing to count. Matt got in at seven, Punk catching him with a snapmare, followed by a reverse chinlock. Matt was in the hold for a while, Punk teaching him a lesson in wrestling as he picked Punk up and went for a back suplex. Punk flipped and landed on his feet, rolling Matt up quickly. 1.... 2.... no, Matt was able to kick out.
They got back to their feet, backing off some as Matt realized he had to slow the pace down a little bit. They locked up again, Matt quickly hitting a vertical suplex, floating over for a two count. He sent Punk into the corner hard, catching him coming out with a back body drop. He dropped a leg onto Punk's chest and covered again, getting a two count. Matt came off the rope and dropped an elbow onto Punk's chest before picking him up and dropping him with a body slam. He picked Punk up and dropped him with a second body slam, picking him up and sending him into the ropes, locking in a sleeper hold.
Punk shot Matt off the ropes and leapt with a dropkick, catching Matt in the face. He went for another one, but Matt swatted him away, avoiding it. Matt climbed up to the second rope and came off with a clothesline, taking Punk down, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Punk got a shoulder off the mat. Matt picked Punk up and delivered a European uppercut, sending Punk into the ropes. He clotheslined him up and over, Punk landing on the apron. He picked Punk up and went to send him into the post, but Punk blocked it, sending Matt's face into the top turnbuckle. Matt reeled back as Punk ascended to the top rope, leaping off with a missile dropkick straight into Matt's face! He covered for 1.... 2.... no! Matt was able to kick out of it.
Punk went to pick him up, but Matt rolled out of the ring, much to the crowd's dismay. Punk didn't wanna wait as he came out with a baseball slide, nailing Matt in the chest, sending him into the railing. He picked Matt up and dropped him chest first onto the edge of the railing and rolled him back inside. Punk climbed up on the apron and stepped into the ring, but Matt caught him on the way in with a chop block to the left knee, taking him straight down. Punk held his knee in pain as Matt now saw a weak spot, wrenching and kicking at it. Punk got back to his feet in the corner and went for a kick, but Matt caught his foot. Punk missed the enziguiri as Matt quickly locked in a side leglock on the left leg.
Punk was in pain, but quickly got to the ropes, the referee ordering the break. Matt, like a shark, just zeroed in on the leg as he contined to stop and drop knees on it, keeping Punk down on the mat. He dragged Punk to the center of the ring and dropped an elbow on the knee, grapevining it. Punk was down in the ring, Matt just taking his leg apart as the referee asked him if he wanted to give up. Punk shook his head and reached for Matt, pulling at his hair, but the ref broke it. Matt applied more pressure on the leg as Punk pulled his hair again, pulling his head back and rocking his face with a fist to the nose, breaking the hold.
Punk hobbled up to his feet as Matt charged in, but was taken over the top to the outside with a back body drop. Punk hit the mat, his leg obviously hurting him as Matt got back to his feet on the outside and dragged Punk to the post. He rammed his left knee into the ringpost, Punk backing away into the center of the ring. Matt came back in and picked Punk up, who answered him with a headbutt, standing on one leg. Matt came towards Punk and grabbed him, hooking him up for a suplex. Punk went up and over, landing on his feet, but his leg gave way as Matt turned around and hit a kneebreaker on the weak wheel. He then draped Punk's leg across the bottom rope and dropped all of his weight onto it, damaging it even more.
He covered Punk, but only got a two, continuing to work at the leg. Punk hobbled up to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself up, as Matt grabbed his leg again. Punk nailed the enziguiri to the back of Matt's head, taking him down, buying himself some time. He pulled himself up by the ropes again as Matt charged, getting a face full of boot, rocking back to the center of the ring. Punk ran forward as best he could and got back dropped, but Punk held on, rolling Matt up! 1.... 2.... no! Punk couldn't hold him down as Matt went for a clothesline. Punk ducked it and hit a backslide for 1.... 2.... no! Matt got back up and took Punk down with a back elbow, stopping any momentum.
He looked down at Punk with disgust before picking him back up, delivering a DDT. He floated over for the cover, only getting a two. Matt was getting a little frustrated, but still took his time, bringing Punk back to the corner. He set up for a tornado DDT and launched off, but Punk fired him off, Matt hitting the mat chest and face first. Punk started to rally back with a right, left, backhand, spinning backhand, a kick to the gut, and then one to the face. He went for the roundhouse, but Matt ducked it and dropkicked the back of Punk's leg, taking him right back down!
"Punk can't get in any offense, Jesse, Matt Hardy's just taking that leg apart."
"I hate to say it, but maybe Punk should give up. The loss sucks, but it's worth it to save your career sometimes, he can live to fight another day, Gorilla."
Matt Hardy quickly applied a figure four onto the leg, just wrenching at it. Punk had nowhere to go as he was screaming out in pain, the fans willing him on, telling him not to tap out. Punk had too much pride as he wouldn't tap out, his shoulders hitting the mat! 1.... 2.... no! Punk rose up from the canvas, the pain etched on his face. Matt looked up at him and spat at him, cranking up the pressure as Punk dropped again. 1.... 2.... NO! That one was close as Punk barely got up from the canvas that time. Punk reached behind him, to his left, then to his right, he wasn't anywhere near any of the ropes, Matt had this locked in nice and tight.
Punk started to pass out, as the referee rose his hand up, but Punk grabbed the ref's hand and threw him into Matt, the small crash was enough to break the hold! It wasn't conventional, but Punk got out of the hold and pulled himself up in the corner. Matt got back to his feet and charged in, Punk lifting his good foot straight into Matt's jaw. He came off the ropes with a clothesline, taking Matt back down. Punk was back in this thing as he slammed Matt down with a snap suplex, floating over for a two count. Punk got back to his feet and pushed Matt to the ropes, running at him and going for the knee, but Matt moved, Punk's knee hitting the turnbuckle. Punk turned around into an attempted Twist of Fate, but Punk shot him off. He went for a clothesline, but Matt ducked it and locked his arm, quickly hitting the Side Effect! He covered Punk, hooking the leg for 1.... 2.... no! Punk's foot hit the bottom rope!
Matt was enraged, but Punk had great ring presence, knowing exactly where he was, otherwise he may not have gotten up from that. Matt picked him back up and suplexed him down, climbing up to the middle rope. He flashed the V1 signal and leapt off with his guillotine leg drop, right onto Punk's chest, knocking the wind out of him. He covered for 1.... 2.... no! Punk kicked out again, Matt was starting to see why he held the World Title twice, he was a tough bastard. He picked Punk up and began talking some smack, Punk pushed him off and leveled him with a roundhouse to the side of the head, Punk hitting the canvas as well.
Both men were down as the referee began his count, both men stirring at five. It wasn't until a count of eight when Matt got back to his feet, Punk pulling himself up in the corner. Matt was signalling for another Side Effect and locked it in, but Punk was just a hair faster and dropped Matt with a flatliner DDT, holding onto it! Punk floated over, turning Matt onto his back and locked in the Anaconda Vice! Matt was getting choked out as he struggled in the hold, Punk's face flush with anger, screaming at him to tap out. Matt was starting to fade as his hand started to drop, but Matt reached up and raked at Punk's eyes, breaking the hold.
Matt was coughing, finally getting some air back into his body as he rose up, Punk flying at him with a knee, rocking him in the corner! Punk hurt himself a lot with that, but connected with the bulldog, turning Matt over for the cover! 1.... 2.... no! Matt kicked out of it. Punk rose up, hitting at his knee to try and get some blood flowing back into it as Matt came back up to his feet. Punk rallied back, hitting the right, left, backhand, spinning backhand, then the roundhouse, taking Matt back down! He covered again, 1.... 2.... no! Punk rolled back up, his leg still killing him, Matt getting back to his feet as well. Punk reached the corner, holding himself up, as he started to climb up. Matt got back to his feet and rushed the corner, pushing Punk's legs from under him, causing him to straddle the rope.
Punk was in a precarious position as Matt climbed up there, thinking superplex. Punk fought back with elbows to the face, Matt continuing to hammer on his back, trying to keep him down. Matt hooked Punk up for the superplex and lifted off, but Punk held onto the rope, not going anywhere. Matt tried one more time, still nothing, Punk hit him in the stomach with an elbow and dropped Matt face first onto the mat. Matt rose up in pain as Punk rose up on the rope, going to fly. He leapt high into the air, catching Matt with a sunset flip from the top! 1.... 2.... NO! That was close as all hell as Punk rose to his feet, waiting for Matt to rise.
Matt got back up and ran forward, Punk sidestepping him and sending him shoulder first into the post. Punk called out "It's clobberin' time!" as the fans rose, Punk lifted him up and connected with the GTS, but couldn't capitalize! His knee was too badly damaged as he held it in pain, perhaps hitting the GTS wasn't the smartest idea he had! Matt was unmoving in the center of the ring as Punk rolled in pain, slowly crawling to Matt, inch by inch. He rose his arm up and just let it fall over Matt, 1.... 2.... NO! Matt kicked out of it, he had too much time to recover! Punk was disappointed in himself, knowing that his knee was hurt, he still went for the GTS, and it cost him big time.
Matt was still knocked out as Punk slowly tried to get to his feet, his knee was just taking a pounding. He climbed back up to the top rope, going to go for just one more high risk move as he slowly rose up, waiting for Matt to turn around. He leapt off the rope as Matt turned around, Matt catching him with a Twist of Fate out of the air! That was it, Punk was knocked out cold as Matt hooked the legs for 1.... 2.... NO! Punk kicked out of it! The crowd came alive as Punk somehow kicked out of that amazing counter by Matt Hardy. The replays showed the incredible counter a few times on the tron, Jesse and Gorilla commenting on it.
"What a counter by Matt Hardy, Monsoon, I didn't think Punk would kick out."
"That adrenaline does incredible things, Jesse, Punk's intestinal fortitude is really showing in this matchup."
Matt got back to his feet and sent Punk into the corner hard, going for another Twist of Fate on the way out! Punk pushed him to the ropes and caught him, going for another GTS, but Matt was able to slide of out it. He turned Punk around and kicked at his knee, slowing him down, locking the head for the second Twist of Fate. Matt turned around and was about to drop, when Punk hit the floor and hooked him for a school boy, hooking the tights! 1.... 2.... 3!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, CM Punk!"
Unbelievable, CM Punk just pulled out an insane victory as Matt Hardy got right back up to his feet, screaming at the official that he had the tights, but the referee couldn't see it. Matt was pissed off and dropped the referee with a Twist of Fate, the crowd booing wildly. Matt left the ring and grabbed a steel chair, going to make an example. He rose the chair and blasted Punk's leg with it time and time again, just rattling the leg!
"What a sore loser, Jesse! Get the referees down here, this guy should be suspended!"
Matt wasn't done as he placed Punk's leg in the chair, by god he was going to Pillmanize him! Punk was unable to fight back as Matt climbed up to the top rope and flashed the V1 sign, crashing down onto the chair with the guillotine legdrop! The fans booed wildly as Punk screamed out in pain, his leg being destroyed as EMT's and officials flooded the ring, trying to get Matt out of the ring.
Finally, Matt Hardy left the ring as EMT's tended to Punk's shattered leg. They picked Punk up and let him try to walk, but Punk immediately hit the canvas, he couldn't put ANY weight on it at all. Matt looked back at the ring, smiling all the while, mouthing out "That was for Jeff." He finally turned back and left the arena as Punk was loaded onto a stretcher, shouting "That bastard's broken my leg. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch..." Punk was carried out of the ring in pain, the fans chanting wildly for him, he won the match, but he didn't look like much of a winner.
"Ladies and Gentleman the following contest scheduled for one fall will be No Holds Barred and for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship."
[Play Out]
"Ladies and Gentleman this is your main event for Souled Out and it is for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Standing over to my left the challenger, from Sarasota Florida, weighing in at 237 lbs, representing the NWA, Macho Man Randy Savage. His opponent, from Japan, weighing in at 240, representing the NWO, he is the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Mitsuhara Misawa."
The bell sounded and the match was on as it was Wrestling vs. Rasslin', two legends in their prime against one another though obviously one being very outspoken as they met in the center of the ring. God only knew how much Savage was holding back in this match already from not just exploding on him as Randy would point at him with the finger, Misawa hitting it away but Savage put the finger right back in his face again. Misawa knocked it out of the way as Savage locked him in a side headlock and wrenched on him as he was tossed to the rope, Savage holding on.
They met in the center of the ring and would lock up in a test of strength as neither man broke, the hold releasing as they would lock again like two bulls locking horns though neither one budged as the grapple broke. Savage called for a greco roman knuckle lock, locking in one hand but then kicked Misawa in the gut and wrenched at the arm, jerking it down then rammed his shoulder into his own, quickly wrenching and turned it into a hammerlock, slamming him shoulder first into the buckle.
Randy came off the rope and hit him with a hard clothesline, watching him rise and suplexed him down then bodyslammed him, dropping several elbows over his face then stomped to his eyes. Savage pulled him up by the hair and punched him hard to the face, knocking him to the corner and would ram his shoulders into his stomach then punched again to his head, the ref telling Savage to back off some as Randy hit the ref with a headbutt then went back to Misawa.
He would kick repeatidly to his stomach eventually knocking him down but dragged him back up, placing him on top and climbed up. Savage locked him up and came down with a superplex but didn't even bother with the pin, crawling on top of him and would just start to punch the hell out of Misawa. Savage pulled off and would slowly remove some of his wrist tape, jumping Misawa from behind and wrapped the tape around his throat and started to choke him out, having a wild look in his eyes. Misawa tried to fight out of it but Savage had the leverage and was able to drop him down to a knee before letting go, coming off the rope with a shoulder block right to the face.
Savage rope up and dropped a few more elbows and was just unrelenting on him, stomping along his body and dragged him up, pushing him up against the rope and tossed him hard, catching him with a dropkick the a flying elbow nearly breaking his nose in the process, quickly climbing the rope and connected with a double ax over the skull. Misawa was rocky as Savage would come off the rope with a big time clothesline then a shoulder block, forcing Misawa to lose his footing and fall to the floor.
Savage heard the crowd and would come off the rope with a baseball slide though Misawa caught the legs and would strong man swing Savage side first right into the steel post. Misawa was now in business as he would ram Savage into the barricade and chopped over his chest, grabbing him by the hair and rammed him into the post again watching him drop. Misawa would slowly start to peel the matting from the floor and tossed it aside, pulling Savage up and went for a piledriver. He rose him up though Savage blocked twice and would push Misawa back, tackling him through the barricade right into the crowd. Savage rose up first and started to punch him up the ramp a bit, grabbing him by the hair and got to an aisleway, tossing him over the barricade as they were by the stageway, Savage charging in as Misawa would back bodydrop him right upon the steel ramp.
He climbed up and pulled Savage up and smashed him face first into the set then quickly followed up with a bulldog, even grinding his head into the steel mesh a bit on the stage, rising up and dropped him with a piledriver. Misawa pulled him up by the arm though Savage came alive and would literally tackle Misawa right through the set wall as all power to the arena actually cut out for a moment or two, back up power having to turn on as the fans went nuts. Savage was the first one out, pulling Misawa by the hair and was literally running with him down the ramp, tossing him to the ring though Misawa irish whipped him and dropped Savage with a whirling spine buster right on the concrete floor to a loud ooo from the crowd.
Misawa would toss Savage into the ring and rolled in, pulling him up and clocked him a few times in the face with his elbows and forearms, tossing him to the ropes and caught him with a gorilla press slam then kicked Savage down from the recoil. He came off the rope with a few elbows before locking in a headlock, wrenching on the head as Savage would slowly rise to his feet, trying to use his elbows to break out though Misawa turned it into a dangerous headlock suplex right into a bridge for two.
He rose up and kicked along Savage's head, pulling him up and chopped him to the corner, starting to kick at his stomach then pulled back, hitting him with a running backbody splash, hitting that two more times as Savage fell to the mat as Misawa locked in another side headlock. He wrenched on him as Savage worked his way to his feet, pushing him off as Misawa came off the rope though Savage got him with a headlock takedown and repeatidly punched to his head. He would let go and pulled to his feet, slamming Misawa down with a bodyslam, then another and another, coming off the rope with a running elbow smash, watching him bounce off the rope and got him with a powerslam, rising up raising his finger in the air.
He would watch Misawa pull up and got him with an atomic drop, coming off the rope with a knee drop over the head then locked in a full nelson. Misawa was way too strong for that as he broke out, turning around with a fist as Savage ducked and actually dropped him with a capture suplex, kicking him to the back right to the ropes watching him dangle as he came off the rope and splashed upon his back. He watched him whip back and caught him with a neckbreaker, turning him over to his belly and locked in a hammerlock, dropping his knee over and over again on the arm and back, Savage then locking in a side armbar.
Misawa got to his feet and pushed up while Savage held upon that arm like a vice, jerking it down and wrenched on it as he dropped Misawa doing a sitdown armbar, applying more pressure upon that arm and shoulder, Misawa hitting the mat in anger. Savage would jump some almost breaking his arm if he had to and eventually let go, climbing the top rope and waited, hitting him right in the chest with a dropkick that sent Misawa to the floor. Savage rose and saulted over the rope though Misawa caught him and slammed him back first into the steel post, then the apron and watched him drop. He yelled out a bit and picked Savage up for a suplex but came down reverse style and slammed Savage right into the apron rib first, almost hearing a crack upon the impact.
Misawa rose and rolled his shoulder while Savage held his ribs, Misawa taking note of that and rammed him rib first into the steel stairs then backdropped him upon the concrete before tossing him into the ring. Misawa climbed the apron and poised himself, leaping with a springboard shoulder block and connecting right to his face, pulling Savage up and would slam his knee into his ribs, dropping him with two big time rib breakers, dropping a few well placed knees over his back, locking him in a sit out bow and arrow putting pressure on his spine and spreading out his ribs.
Savage wouldn't quit as he would fight through the pain, Misawa letting go as he dragged him up, locking him in a front face lock and kicked to Savage's ribs the best he could, tossing him to the ropes and dropped him with a gorilla press slam then a kick to the face. Misawa dropped a few elbows then kicked at him some, watching Savage crawl along the mat. Misawa would then stomp at the hand and fingers, grabbing a hold of his hand and spread his fingers apart.
Savage shook his hand in pain as Misawa dragged him up and wrenched at the arm, pulling him in with a knee to the ribs then did it a few more times, tossing him hard to the corner and hit him with a running clothesline then a few chops to the chest, watching Savage pull from the corner and would nearly knock him out with an elbow to the face. Misawa climbed the top rope and came down with an elbow drop over the throat, rising up slow and locked Savage in a sleeper. Randy would fight to his feet, reaching for the rope but just couldn't get to it as Misawa would turn it into a sleeper suplex, nearly breaking Savage's neck in the process as Randy rolled to the floor.
Misawa would just stand in the ring, waiting as the ref would start to count as Savage slowly started to make his way to the apron, dragging himself to his feet. He rolled in at the count of eight as Misawa would stomp on him, grabbing him by the hair and rammed him chest first into the buckle then dropped him with a high angle german suplex and rose to his feet, slowly turning his palm into a fist.
The fans knew exactly what he was going to do and since it was No Holds Barred, the Heart Punch was now legal albeit a dirty tactic. He waited for Savage to rise and swung though Savage would counter with a jab to the face, then another, and another and another, starting to go punch drunk crazy on him and hit him with an elbow over the head, coming off the rope and took him down with a body tackle.
Savage got to his feet and locked in a side headlock, turning it into a bulldog and hit the mat hard. Savage grabbed him by the head and ran to the rope, leaping over and snapped him with a rope guillotine and slid back into the ring and dropkicked him down. He set him up for a piledriver though Misawa would back body drop him over the top rope as Randy hit the concrete below. Misawa rolled out after him, locking the arms and looked to hit him with a tiger driver to the concrete though Savage would block and would back bodydrop him, Misawa awkwardly hitting the steel guardrail and held his shoulder again.
Savage waited for the right moment and rammed his shoulder into the steel post then tossed him back into the ring, just in time too as he came off the rope with a double ax, hitting the rope and came in with a cross body block though Misawa caught him and quickly countered it though his arm gave away, Savage dropping him with a reverse DDT, covering...for two.
Savage would drop a few knees over his shoulder, starting to work upon it and actually applied a hammerlock half nelson. Misawa would slowly rise to his feet and used his strength and hiptossed him off, rolling his shoulder. Savage rose and charged in though Misawa picked him up for a gorilla press though this shoulder would buckle, dropping Savage behind him whom locked him in a sleeper hold. Misawa struggled to pull him off though Savage was a pro at this, eventually letting go and tossed him into the corner, climbing up and started to punch the hell out of his head.
Misawa grabbed his hips and ran full speed and would powerbomb Savage right into the other corner, watching him bounce off and powerslammed him down, covering...for two.

Savage would roll to the floor and ran fast, ramming his knee into Misawa's stomach and slammed his shoulder right into the turnbuckle then back suplexed him to the floor, picking him up and tossed him upon the announce table and moved to the ring, slowly climbing the top rope.
He heard the fans screaming as he would raise his arms up and leapt with the flying elbow, hitting Misawa and crashed through the table. Randy rose up and literally threw the announcer chair out of the way, grabbing monsoon's coffee mug and smashed it over Misawa's head then flung him into the ring, a fire lit under his ass as he picked him up and dropped him with a pile driver, moving to the top rope for the coupe de gras, raising his arms up and came down with the flying elbow and missed as Misawa moved out of the way.
The fans would start to chant for Savage as he struggled to his feet though was dropped down with a droptoe hold then locked in an STF and Misawa had it applied perfectly. He made sure Savage's bad arm was being pulled upon as he would struggle for the rope but just couldn't make it, Misawa the stronger of the two and kept him down. He would start to fade, his hand dropping upon the mat as the ref went to check though now at ringside came down Elizabeth whom slammed her palm upon the mat, yelling at Randy to break out of the hold which seemed to bring him to life.
Savage would start to squirm and move and found his way out of the STF and somehow locked in a hammerlock front face lock. Misawa would slowly rise and would suplex Savage back but that was even more stress to his shoulder as he turned around, taking hard shots to the face as Randy was peppering him. Misawa swung hard and missed as Savage dropped him with a DDT, moving back to the top rope and poised though Misawa quickly ran to the rope, climbing up and dropped Savage with a super frontsault suplex crashing down hard.
Misawa would roll his body and crawled over to Savage, covering.......NO for only two! Savage fought out and Misawa was a bit annoyed at that, pulling Randy to his feet and dropped him with a double underhook suplex which sent Randy over the ropes to the floor as he smacked upon the concrete. Liz would start to assist him, trying to help him back up though she was grabbed by the back of the hair by Misawa and flung back as Misawa tossed Savage into the ring, climbing up to the apron though Liz got a hold of his foot, preventing him from entering as he kicked her off right into the barricade and re entered, pulling Savage to his feet and dropped him with the Emerald Flowsion, covering.......NO it was broken by Liz whom slid into the ring just in time and nailed Misawa with her fist.
Misawa rose up, looking at her as she swung with another fist and clocked him over the face, trying for it again as Misawa picked her up and dropped her with the Emerald Flowsion. Misawa rolled to the floor and grabbed a steel chair, entering the ring as he had enough of this game, raising it up to blast Savage whom hit him with a low blow. Savage rose to his feet and saw Liz laid out in the ring, his eyes going wide with rage as he would pick up the steel chair and turned around, calling Misawa to his feet. The ref told him to put the chair down and Savage kicked him right in the nuts, yelling at Misawa to rise and blasted him clear over the head.
Randy went on a hitting spree hitting Misawa over the back over and over again, placing his shoulder within the chair and would ram him to the turnbuckle then back suplexed him hearing the chair snap upon his shoulder. Randy would pull the chair from him and would then blast Misawa over and over again with it, going absolutely crazy with it until one clear shot to the head knocked him straight the hell out. Savage would then move to the vertical buckle and would actually rip it right off, exposing all three turnbuckles and pulled Misawa up and tossed him right into them, picking up the chair and Misawa was a sitting duck taking chair shot after chair shot from Savage whom just hit the living christ out of him. He would toss Misawa to the rope and caught him with a flapjack right into the corner, making sure his face hit all three buckles on the way down, rising up and took even more chair shots to his head.
Savage would then tackle him through the ropes right to the floor, smashing Misawa's head into the exposed concrete floor, tossing him into the steel stairs. The stairs flew off as Savage would lay Misawa out over the stairs and picked up the top portion, raising it up and smashed it over the back of Misawa's head, nearly taking his head off and slammed him down upon it again. Savage would balance himself upon the guardrail and would drop an elbow of the back of his head, his face smashing into the stairs. The ref tried to maintain order though Savage tossed him right into the crowd, looking under the ring and found a mallet that they used to hit the posts into the canvas.
He would stalk Misawa and swung hard, cracking the mallet over his skull and straddled him, starting to choke him out with the stick end of it, flinging it aside and pushed Jesse out of his wheelie chair, slamming Misawa right into it as he watched him fall. Savage would pick up the chair and swung it like a bat, watching the wheels smash into Misawa as they flew into the crowd. Savage would move under the ring and pulled out a set of brass knuckles and placed it upon his hand and would start to Mike Tyson Haymaker him over the face and head, knocking him down and straddled him, not even Satan could break this apart as Savage would punch the shit out of him. Misawa by now was obviously busted open as Randy rose and looked around, grabbing the camera from one of the camera guys and rolled into the ring, climbing the top rope and started to film it, watching Misawa rise and came down, smashing the camera over his head.
Savage rose up and grabbed Misawa by the hair and tossed him with authority into the guardrail that would easily break as they spilled into the crowd, Savage screaming at the fans to get outta the way as they fled their seats, Savage then bodyslamming Misawa right into some of the take home chairs for the event. Savage would slowly start to move around, finding the roving boom camera and kicked the guy off of it, starting to take control of it, getting in position and would swing the lever with all his strength, watching it swing the god knows how heavy camera right into Misawa as he saulted over the rail back to ringside. Savage would leap over the guardrail and tossed a bloody Misawa into the ring, picking up yet another steel chair and cracked him over the head.
Misawa eventually fell as Savage pulled him up and just continued hitting him over the back and chest with the chair, the final shot cracking over his head as the top portion of the chair went flying into the crowd as the fans went nuts. Inoki flew down to the ring and took a chair shot over his head as Savage tossed him to the floor and set the remains of it over Misawa's face, climbing the top rope and leapt with the flying elbow and connected, tossing the broken chair out of the way and covered as the ref was forced to count, 1.................2............NO Misawa kicked out. Unbelieveable as Savage rose to his feet, pulling Misawa up whom must have thought he was in Osaka by now, Randy looking for a DDT as Misawa would push him as he smacked right into Elizabeth, causing him to trip and stumble.
He rose to his feet and picked Savage up the best he could and dropped him with a pump handle slam right upon the backing of the steel chair and even went a step further hitting a powerbomb upon the remains of the chair. He held his shoulder in pain and picked Savage up for the Emerald Flowsion but his shoulder gave up as Randy slid out, picking up the small bit of chair and swung for the fences and connected right over the head knocking him clearly out, Savage would then set the chair over his face and climbed the top rope, raising his fingers up and leapt, coming down with the flying elbow literally denting the chair but rose back up, climbing the top rope again and dropped yet another flying elbow right over the face, the chair bent and dented now as he would toss it out of the ring, covering Misawa, 1.............2..............3NO! Oh my god was the ever close as Savage looked at the ref in question, Misawa still had fight left in him as Savage would pull him up and decked him over the head right to the corner, climbing up and punched to his head over and over again, coming down with a hard elbow then one good dropkick to the face, knocking him through the ropes to the apron.
Savage came off the rope with a cross body though Misawa caught him and quickly turned it right into the Emerald Flowsion and landed hard right upon the concrete floor. That was rock solid as slowly Misawa got to his feet, shaking his head as Savage lay there dead to the world as Misawa picked him up and laid him against the steel post, winding his fist up for a heart punch and swung though missed as Savage moved out of the way, Misawa's fist cracking the steel.
Misawa held his wrist in pain, god knew if it was broken or not though Savage got a hold of it and slammed it down hard upon the steel steps five seperate times. Misawa would roll into the ring as Savage rolled as well, his back was killing him for sure as Misawa tackled him to the corner, hitting him with his good hand though Savage started to strike back, pulling from the corner and tossed him though Misawa irish whipped in him into th exposed steel, Savage hitting back first and just came off it in agony, Misawa picking him up for the Emerald Flowsion though Savage slid out, dropping him with a back suplex then locked in a wrist lock making sure to add pressure to that hand of his.
Misawa would yell out, struggling to his feet though Savage pulled him back down with a handful of hair, wrenching on the hand. Misawa fought back to his feet and would against his better judgement hiptoss Savage off, rolling his shoulder and hand in agony as Savage came at him, trying for a DDT though Misawa pushed him off, coming in himself with a clothesline though Savage would duck and dropkicked him in the back, Misawa hitting head first into the buckle and stumbled back as Savage rose him for a bodyslam though Misawa rolled back and quickly countered it right into the Emerald Flowsion, covering Savage, 1............2...........NO! Miss Elizabeth actually leapt from the top rope with a Randy Savage elbow right over the back of Misawa's head to break the count.
It was dirty but it saved Randy's chances and compared to what Misawa did to her it was just desserts. Misawa held his head in pain a bit since she landed it pretty good, Liz rolling to the floor as the ref would yell at her, Misawa going for the pin again but was pulled right into a small package, .1................2..............NO! Oooh that was so close as they hold broke, both men rising and started to slug it out, Savage winning the exchange and dropped Misawa with a bodyslam, another bodyslam then for good measure a Ricky Steamboat chop to the head, knocking him out as Savage moved towards the rope though on the outside, Inoki grabbed a hold of Elizabeth by the hair. Savage yelled at him to knock that shit off as Liz actually fought back, using her nails to dig right into his face and actually sent him face first into the steel stairs, she wasn't taking shit from no one as Savage poised and leapt for the elbow and missed, Misawa moving out of the way just in time and picked Savage up, having it locked in though Savage would flail with his feet breaking the momentum and caught the corner rope some.
Savage caught his balance though Misawa fell back, forcing Savage to crotch the rope as he would reach up and grabbed him from atop and came down hard with the Avalanche Emerald Flowsion right in the center of the ring, covering, 1...............2..................3.
"Ladies and Gentleman here is your winner and STILL NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Mitsuhara Misawa."
What a heartbreaker and Savage gave it every last thing he had but again, the Japanese Warrior known as Misawa rose up and took him down. That Emerald Flowsion was on hell of a killer and whenever it was applied rest assured the match was over. Misawa rose his title up with a small warrior yell, actually showing a bit of emotion as this match took quite a toll on him, shaking his hand a bit and shoulder next as the replay would show the highlights of this intense match as we came back, Misawa was on the ramp, heading up to the stage and turned around slowly, watching Savage slowly rise up to his feet, barely able to stand as he probably had a broken back from being slammed on the concrete, the pain just now seeming to get to him as Misawa rose his title up as the show would fade to black.
