"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the Bell Centre in lovely Montreal, welcome to the Endgames known as War Games, Hello everyone I'm Gorilla Monsoon, it's going to be a hot show tonight, my collegue, Jesse Ventura."
"A lot of history has taken place here in this very arena and it's no surprise that one of the biggest matches in the history will take place here tonight."
"Two huge Main Events, Del Rio against Randy Savage for the World Championships and hanging above us the War Games Cage fit to hold the Four Horsemen and The Hart Family it's going to be brutal."
"Wargames is designed to maim and destroy, the Horsemen have the advantage in this one and as far as our Champion goes, I've always been a Savage fan but tonight the Champion has more tricks up his sleeves."
"Well lets not waist anymore time and take you down to ringside."
“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a triple threat matchup, scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA World Tag Team Championships!”
(Play Hardys/Demo/LoD)
The Hardy Boys and Christopher Daniels were pissed off, as Demolition and the LoD came down to the ring with backup in Mr. Fuji and Paul Ellering! All six men were in the ring, Demolition hammering away on Jeff, as LoD just started battering Matt in the far corner. Demolition and LoD launched the Hardys at each other, Matt and Jeff crashing into each other, falling down on the canvas. LoD clotheslined the hell outta Matt, taking him right over the top, as on the far side, Demolition launched Jeff over the top, right on top of Daniels on the other side!
Finally, Demolition and LoD had the ring to themselves, as they all started hammering away on each other, the referee having no control over the match, trying to restore some sort of order. Hawk and Ax were paired off on one side, as Animal and Smash were on the other, all four men just battering each other with right hands. Animal launched Smash towards the center of the ring, as Ax threw Hawk into the center, Hawk and Smash colliding in the middle of the ring, then they started hammering away on each other! The referee finally got Ax and Animal out of the ring, Smash and Hawk being the legal men, as the Hardys were still down on the mat.
Jeff slowly started to enter the ring, as Smash clotheslined Hawk down, then grabbed Jeff and planted him down into the mat with a body slam, continuing to hammer away, as Fuji called for him to bring him to the corner. Smash brought Jeff over, driving his face into Ax’s boot in the corner before tagging in, the two men dropping him down with a double suplex, then just started to hammer away on him until the referee pushed Smash out, Jeff taking a pounding. Hawk got back up, tagging to Animal, Animal turning Ax around and blasting him in the head before powerslamming him down, going to work on Jeff.
He ran into the corner, but Jeff moved, Animal’s shoulder cracking into the steel post, Jeff crawling over to Matt and tagging in. Matt quickly hit all fours as Jeff leapt off with Poetry in Motion, but Animal caught him and lifted him over his shoulder, long darting Jeff right into Matt, knocking the two of them down! Matt and Jeff got back up to their feet on the ropes, Animal taking both of them over the top to the floor again, as Ax turned Animal around, suplexing him down with a vertical suplex. Ax tagged Smash in, as the two of them picked Animal up, sending him into the ropes, going for a double clothesline, but Animal ran through the both of them, coming off with a double clothesline of his own, tagging in Hawk.
Hawk climbed up on the top rope, leaping with a flying clothesline, taking both members of Demolition down, covering Ax. 1…. 2…. No, Matt broke the count up, saving their belts, hammering away on Hawk, but Hawk just rose up, Matt’s punches having no effect whatsoever. Hawk grabbed him by the throat, lifting Matt into the air with a two handed choke! He tossed Matt down into the corner, catching him coming out with a clothesline that almost took his head off. Ax turned Hawk around, hammering down on him with hammer blows to the back of the head and neck, dropping him to a knee. He tagged in Smash quickly, the two of them lifting him up for a double suplex, dropping him onto the mat, Smash covering. 1….2…. No, Hawk kicked out, getting up to his feet slowly.
Smash grabbed him up, picking him up in the corner, hammering away, but Matt came from behind, rolling him up in a school boy, hooking the tights! 1…. 2…. No, Smash kicked out, Matt hammering down on him to try and keep him down. Smash shoved him back, Matt bouncing off the ropes, clotheslining him, but Smash didn’t go down. He came off the ropes again, Smash nailing a huge back body drop, Matt almost hitting the lights. Hawk came up behind Smash, lifting him in an atomic drop, sending him out of the ring.
Ax went down to help Smash, as Hawk tagged in Animal, the two of them hammering away on Matt Hardy, Jeff reaching out for the tag. Daniels got onto the apron, the referee ordering him to get off, but LoD grabbed him by the throat, readying to destroy the hell out of him, but Jeff grabbed a chair from behind, slamming it into the backs of LoD. LoD turned around, Jeff not showing any fear, throwing the chair at Animal, who caught it, but took a dropkick right into the chair, the chair smacking him in the face.
Hawk ran forward, chasing Jeff out of the ring, Jeff running past Demolition, as Hawk ran after him, Demolition grabbing Hawk and lifting him up, dropping him face first upon the steel steps! Ax stepped into the ring, Matt quickly tagging in Jeff, as the two of them double teamed him, sending him to the far corner, Matt hitting all fours, Jeff hitting Poetry in Motion again, but Ax clotheslined him straight out of the air, almost ripping his head off! Matt got back up as Ax lifted him high over his head, dropping him down face first onto the mat.
Matt got back up to his feet groggily, holding himself as Ax tagged in Smash, hitting the backbreaker, Smash coming off the top rope, nailing the Decapitation right on Matt Hardy! Ax kicked Matt out of the ring, leaving the ring to give him more of a beating, but Daniels was right there, protecting Matt at all costs, but Ax tossed him right into the first row of ringside, Mr. Fuji calling him on the entire time.
Jeff quickly grabbed the chair again, using it to get to his feet, as Hawk rolled back in, Hardy readying to swing, when Paul Ellering got into the ring, nailing Jeff in the back of the head with his cane! Jeff dropped to a knee, holding his head, as Paul left the ring, Hawk getting to his feet, taking Jeff’s head off with a lariat, calling for Animal. Animal tagged in, lifting Jeff onto his shoulders as Hawk turned around, heading to the top rope, waiting for Animal to turn around. He did indeed, turn around, Hawk leaping for the clothesline, but Jeff nailed him in the face with a pair of brass knuckles, knocking him right outta the air!
Jeff hammered down on the top of Animal’s head with the knucks, getting down, nailing him with a Twist of Hate! Smash turned around, getting nailed in the face with the knucks as well, also getting nailed with a Twist of Hate! Jeff rose to the top rope, leaping off with the Swanton, crashing down upon Smash, going for the cover as Daniels held Ax back on the outside! 1…. 2…. 3!
“Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners and still NWA World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boys!”
Damn it, the Hardys stole another one from the jaws of defeat, as they were able to slip by Demolition and the Legion of Doom, barely escaping with their titles intact, as Daniels regrouped with all of them, pulling them to the back quickly, before they all got up to their feet. The Hardys snuck away with the title belts in tow, LoD and Demolition being robbed, as even their backup couldn’t help them, the Hardys walking out with the NWA World Tag Team Championships.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here with Jeff Jarrett."
"They know who the hell I am, give me the microphone before you piss me off. All you people out there need to realize something. I AM NWA, through and through. When I went to the WWF in 1998, I was the NWA North American Heavyweight Champion. I represented the NWA then, just as I do now. When I built TNA from the ground up, I brought back the NWA lineage, and brought the prestige of the NWA back to the wrestling world. Before I was contracted as a wrestler here in the NWA, I was an investor, and I fought to bring the United States Championship back home where it belongs. You people should be thanking me for making sure that the United States Championship stayed where it's rightfully meant to be, and yet you cheer some yellow skinned, rice eating Jap bastard for holding a title that he can't even pronounce the letters to. Remember this, you uneducated, ungrateful jackass people... this is my world... and in my world, I am the United States Champion. It's my world, and I'm allowing all of you to live in it."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a fatal four way match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA United States Championship!"
(Play Jarrett/Booker/Benoit/Chono)
Chono dropped the belt in the center of the ring, daring anyone to cross the line drawn with the belt, as he stood tall in the center, waiting for someone to step up... as Chris Benoit answered the call, stepping right up to him, staring Chono dead in the face. Chono looked down at him, no fear, no intimidation at all, as Booker T walked forward, getting right up in their faces, Chono switching his gaze from Benoit to Booker, then back again, as Benoit and Booker exchanged glares, their history being well documented. Finally, Jarrett walked up, and took a right hand from Chono, rocking him back into the corner, Chono hammering away on his head repeatedly, as the bell sounded and we were off and running.
Chono ran with a clothesline, nailing Jarrett in the corner as he came out, taking a clothesline from Benoit, being knocked down. He got right back up and took a side kick in the face from Booker T, knocking him back to the far corner. Jarrett came out and took a big back body drop from Booker, reeling back up to his feet, as Chono clotheslined him over the top to the floor, Jarrett was taken out of the equation! Chono turned around into a stiff reverse knife edge from Benoit! Benoit went low with a kick, hammering away on Chono, until Chono started to fight back with rights of his own, Booker T coming in to try and help Benoit, but Chono punched both of them back, taking them on all by himself. He came off the ropes, but Jarrett pulled him from the outside, pulling him under the rope, going for a right hand, but it was blocked, Chono blasting him in the face before tossing him into the steps!
Back in the ring, Booker and Benoit started mixing it up, trading right hands until Booker nailed Benoit with a knee to the midsection, bringing him to the corner. He hit Benoit with a chop to the chest before taking him out of the corner with a high hip toss, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit easily kicked out of it, getting back to his feet, as Booker closed the distance, irish whipping him to the far side, locking in a sleeper hold. Benoit quickly grabbed the arms and the head, hitting a snapmare takedown to break the sleeper, Booker rolling to his feet, getting caught with a knee deep in the midsection, flipping him over onto his back. Benoit turned around, seeing Chono coming with a clothesline, hitting the armbar, going for the Crippler Crossface! Chono rolled forward, breaking it and holding his arm, looking at Benoit who just stared right at his face, ready to intercept him again.
Chono slowly got to his feet and approached Benoit slowly, both men sticking their hands out for the grapple, eventually locking up, Benoit hitting an arm wringer on Chono, who swung with a short arm clothesline, but Benoit ducked it and hooked in a waistlock, controlling Chono. He ducked several elbows until Chono bent down, grabbing Benoit's leg and pulling him down, Benoit kicking him off the far side, Chono leaping over him. Benoit hit a leapfrog, Chono running into a jumping leg lariat from Booker T, nailing him right in the face! Benoit ran forward into a body slam, Chono got back up into a body slam, Booker T was on fire, as Sister Sherri cheered him on from the outside.
He placed Chono into the corner, mounting him for a ten punch, but Jarrett came onto the apron and grabbed him, guillotining him off the rope, stopping Booker's momentum. He went to enter the ring, but Benoit hit a baseball slide right into his legs, dropping Jarrett face first onto the apron, knocking him down again. Chono came out of the corner as Benoit kicked him in the gut, hitting a snap suplex, floating right over for the count. 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out of it, Benoit holding onto the arm like a pit bull, locking in an armbar, bending the elbow behind Chono's head, almost a sitting top wristlock.
Chono fought back to his feet, easily overpowering Benoit, as he bent him backward, Benoit bridging on his neck. He tried to power his way back up, but Chono was just too strong, so Benoit broke the bridge and rolled out, hitting a drop toe hold, taking Chono down. Benoit hit a side leglock, but Booker quickly broke this up with a legdrop right onto Benoit's chest. He picked Benoit up and hit a sidewalk slam, dropping him hard upon the mat, as Jarrett rolled inside slowly. He got back to his feet and hit Booker with right hands, rocking him back to the ropes, sending him off the far side, but got reversed. Booker went for a back body drop, but lowered his head, Jarrett quickly hitting a neckbreaker, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up, picking Jarrett up off the mat and drilled him hard with a slam.
He missed with an elbow as Jarrett got to his feet, quickly hitting a dropkick, knocking Chono down. They got right back up, Jarrett going for another one, but Chono caught his feet and slingshotted him into the top turnbuckle, Jarrett falling back into a reverse DDT, Chono covering right after. 1.... 2.... no, Jarrett kicked out of it, Chono picking him up, but Jarrett delivered rights and lefts to the body, locking Chono in a side headlock. Chono picked him up and delivered a back suplex, dropping Jarrett on the back of his head, when Benoit appeared out of nowhere, going for a German suplex, but Chono held onto the rope, not letting Benoit get the suplexes. Benoit hammered away on Chono's back repeatedly, going for the suplexes again, but Chono fired an elbow right into the mouth, busting Benoit's mouth, breaking the hold.
Chono ran with a flying shoulder block, Benoit ducking, Chono taking Jarrett down, as Booker T got a hold of Benoit and drove his head into the turnbuckle, kicking and punching away at him. He pulled Benoit out of the corner with an arm wringer, then hit a sidekick right in the face, knocking Benoit down. Chono got back up, missing a clothesline, Booker nailing him with a sidekick as well, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out, Booker quickly getting back to his feet, stomping at a rising Chono. He came off the ropes, but was caught by Jarrett who took him down with a drop toe hold, Chono delivering a leg drop to the back of Booker's head.
Unlikely teamwork there as Jarrett extended his hand to Chono, and Chono took it, kicking Jarrett in the gut and lifting him high into the air with a military press, slamming Jarrett hard down on the mat from high above. Jarrett got back to his feet, getting knocked down with a shoulder block, as Chono rose to the top rope, waiting for someone to rise. It was Jarrett, as he got back up, Chono nailing him with a flying shoulder tackle, covering, hooking the leg. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit broke the count up, grabbing Chono and planting him with a DDT, spiking his head into the mat, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Booker T broke the count up this time, grabbing Benoit by the legs and lifting him up, driving him down with a snap spinebuster, falling right over for the cover. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit fought out of it.
Benoit got up on the ropes, as Booker leapt with a jumping sidekick, but Benoit ducked, Booker crotching himself on the rope, falling to the floor below, Jarrett coming from behind and rolling Benoit up, but Benoit rolled through with it, pinning Jarrett's shoulders down, but Jarrett grabbed the tights and pulled, pulling Benoit back down, holding the tights! 1.... 2.... no, Benoit fired Jarrett off, right into a lariat from Chono that flipped Jarrett like a pancake! Oh my god, Jarrett's head may have been taken off right there as Benoit got to his feet, Chono going for a full nelson slam, but Benoit stepped on Chono's foot, then switched behind, hitting a German suplex, holding on like a pitbull! He lifted and drove Chono down with the second one, still hanging on like a beast, going for the third, but Chono blocked it, switching behind and locking in a full nelson, driving Benoit down with a Dragon suplex, but held on! He got back to his feet and delivered a second Dragon suplex, still holding onto it, getting back up and finishing off with a full nelson slam, driving Benoit down, as Chono fell onto the mat as well!
All four men were down, Booker T on the outside, Jarrett probably thinking he was back in Tennessee, as Chono and Benoit just battered each other with suplexes, neither man moving, as the crowd started to rumble. Booker T slowly got back into the ring as Jarrett was just starting to pull himself up to his feet, charging at Booker with a clothesline, but Booker ducked, chopping Jarrett down to the canvas! He quickly covered right after. 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up, grabbing Booker T, delivering a belly to belly suplex, staying on his feet, as Benoit again rose up behind him, grabbing him and nailing another German suplex, holding onto it, slowly getting to his feet. He drove Chono down with a second German suplex, still holding onto it with all his might, then lifted and drilled Chono down with the third German, finally letting go. He got back to his feet and started to cut his throat, when Jarrett came from nowhere with a clothesline, but Benoit ducked it, hitting him with a German suplex!
Benoit held on, delivering a second one to Jarrett, still holding onto it, and then drove him down with the third, his head right next to Chono's, though his feet were pointing at the opposite corner. Booker T got to his feet, chopping at Benoit, but Benoit took the chop hard, retaliating with one of his own! This turned Booker T around, Benoit grabbed him and nailed a German suplex! He held on, as tradition would have it, and hit the second German suplex, still hanging on, nailing the third German suplex, as all three men's heads were right next to each other, each of them pointing at different corners, as Benoit rose up, cutting his throat, then rising to the top rope.
Benoit rose up and jumped off, nailing all three competitors with one headbutt, the fans exploding wildly! Benoit shook and convulsed in pain, but got an arm over one of his opponents... he got an arm over Booker T! 1.... 2.... no, Booker T kicked out of it, as Chono and Jarrett were getting to their feet at opposite corners. Booker and Benoit were paired off, hammering away at each other, as Jarrett ran at Chono, getting nailed with a spinning heel kick from Chono, as Benoit suplexed Booker T right onto Jarrett at the same time! Booker T rolled out of the ring in pain, as Benoit and Chono were now the only two men on their feet, trading chop after chop!
Jarrett got back to his feet slowly, turning around and catching a chop from Chono AND Benoit! Jarrett was knocked down to the canvas, as Chono and Benoit continued to hammer away, Chono sneaking in a knee to the gut, then lifted Benoit onto the top rope. Chono climbed up with him and drove Benoit's head into the turnbuckle, stunning him, hooking him up for a superplex, as Booker T slowly slid into the ring and got underneath Chono, hooking him up for a powerbomb! Booker drove Chono down with the powerbomb, causing Chono to superplex the hell outta Benoit! Booker fell to a seated position in the corner as Jarrett scrambled over Chono! 1.... 2.... no, Booker broke the count up, Jarrett getting back to his feet, ducking a clothesline, and nailing Booker T with The Stroke! He planted Booker's face into the mat, turning him around and covering! 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up as Jarrett tried to back away, but Chono just clotheslined him with such impact that Jarrett bounced between the ropes to the floor.
Benoit got back to his feet, getting behind Chono and locking him for more German suplexes, but Chono quickly hit a drop toe hold, going for the STF, but Benoit turned around and kicked Chono off the ropes, catching him coming off with a small package! 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out, swinging with a clothesline, but was caught right in the Crippler Crossface! Chono was being bent backward with such intensity that Benoit's veins were popping from his arms, his face a beet red, shouting for Chono to tap! Chono refused, the referee right there, asking him time and time again, but Chono struggled on, crawling to the ropes inch by inch, his hand being a mere fingertip away, he couldn't quite make it!
Benoit reeled back harder, Chono quickly pushing back on his hand, landing on top of Benoit, pushing his shoulders down! 1.... 2.... no, Benoit broke the hold, kicking out of it, Chono rising up in the corner, Benoit charging in, but Chono moved, Benoit's sternum cracking the buckle! Chono ran off the far side, Benoit turning around right into the Yakuza kick, being knocked right out of the game! Jarrett quickly came from out of nowhere, rolling Chono up, but Chono rolled through, pinning Jarrett with the rollup! 1.... 2.... no, Jarrett fired him off, reaching outside the ring to get the momentum he needed, as Chono was pushed off, right into the Book End! Booker covered, hooking the leg! 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out of it, Booker T couldn't believe it!
Chono slowly got to his feet in the corner, Booker coming at him with a sidekick, but crotched the top rope again, Chono nailing Booker with the Yakuza kick, taking him straight out of the ring! Behind him though, Jarrett grabbed his guitar, waiting for Chono to turn around, swinging at Chono's face, but Chono ducked it, kicking Jarrett low in the gut and hooked his arms, lifting him, and driving him down with the ChonoTrigger! Chono covered him, hooking the leg! 1.... 2.... 3!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still NWA United States Champion, Masahiro Chono!"
Chono literally took everyone out of the game one by one, the last one being Jeff Jarrett, as Chono proved that HE was the King of the Mountain, and no one else, as the referee handed Chono the belt, raising his hand high into the air, holding his head in pain, what a matchup he just endured! Chono just beat three people in one match, and they were all former United States Champions, as Chono rose to the rope, holding the title over his head. Benoit rolled out of the ring, heading to the back, as Sister Sherri helped Booker to the back as well, Jarrett was still laid out in the ring, as Chono stood over him, raising the title over his head again to a massive roar, before leaving the ring.
Chono headed down the ramp, victorious over three of the best wrestlers in the NWA, defying the odds and retaining the United States Championship in what was nothing less than a war.
"Ladies and Gentleman, this contest scheduled for one fall is a Triple Threat Bout and it is for the NWA Women's Championship. Introducing first, from Buffalo New York, she is the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. From the Isle of Samoa, she is The Warrior Princess, Tamina. And from the Edge of Sanity, she is the reigning NWA Women's Champion, Serena."
She rose her title up in the center of the ring making a point she was the champion and handed the belt over, the bell sounding as Serena moved over to Beth and locked up but was pushed back. She rose up and went to Tamina and locked up and was pushed back.
She rose and gave Beth the finger then Tamina, causing both women to charge in, Tamina accidentally spearing Beth as Serena quickly grabbed her and tossed her to the floor, covering Phoenix..for two.
She cursed on that one pulling her up and tossed her to the rope, having her smack into Tamina and dropped Beth with a backbody drop, coming off the rope with a shoulder lariat then a bodyslam, locking her in a quick triangle choke. She broke the hold and tossed Beth to the ropes again forcing her to knock into Tamina again keeping her to the floor, swinging with a clothesline but Beth tackled her to the mat.
She hit her with hard fists, pulling her up and pressed her up like a feather and tossed her out of the ring but Tamina caught her. With her superior strength she would do a fallaway slam, Serena smacking rib first into the post and hit the mat.
Tamina then looked at Beth and climbed the apron then into the ring as they would stare down. They would then start punching back and forth, Beth using her elbows as Tamina would kick to her chest as they would lock up jocking for position. Tamina gave a push but Beth pushed her back proving her dominace as Tamina came off the rope with a clothesline, no effect.
Beth would then shove her as Tamina caught her with a kick to the jaw, knocking her to the corner and exploded on her with haymakers and headbutts. She placed her on top and went for a superplex but Beth pushed her off, coming down with a double axe but Tamina caught her right into a capture belly to belly.
She rushed in and dropped her with a shoulder block then a flying shoulderblock, coming in with a superkick but Beth caught the foot and dropped her with a clothesline nearly taking her head off. She would press Tamina up, tossing her hard to the buckle and kicked to her ribs, ramming the knees against her and would headbutt her. Big mistake as Tamina would headbutt back, chopping at her and would springboard off of the rope with a headscissor takedown, wrenching on that throat.
Beth fought out, rising up and missed the clothesline as Tamina leapt with a cross body, Beth catching her in mid air and hit two side rib breakers before pressing her up again and tossed her from the ring to the floor through the announce table.
Beth looked down with a grin as she was grabbed from behind, Serena locking in the Bite of the Dragon submission but Beth just whipped her off and dropped her with a big boot. Beth pulled her up, moving her to the buckle and came in with a splash but Serena rolled out of the way tryng for a school girl but Beth grabbed her by the throat and dragged her up.
With a thumb to the eye the hold broke as Serena dropped her with a Tornado DDT. Serena rose up getting to her feet as Tamina made it to her feet already, hitting the apron and leapt with a springboard bodytackle, busting Serena's mouth open as she rammed her into the corner, ramming her shoulders into her ribs.
She blasted her over the head, placing her on the top and started to climb up, hitting over her head trying for a superplex but Serena would block, hooking the head and came off the rope with a SuperDDT making sure Tamina landed right on the apron.
The ref immediately checked on both women, Serena holding her back as she re entered the ring, hitting a baseball slide to Tamina knocking her to the floor, charging in and blasted Beth with a knee to the face.
She dragged her by the ankle to the center of the ring, dropping elbows over the knee and locked in a vice. She twisted that knee the best she could until Beth kicked her off, rising up as Serena would front clip the knee right out of her, locking in another vice.
Beth would kick her off a second time, having trouble standing as Serena kicked the back of the knee then slammed it over the canvas. She dragged her around and moved to the floor, slamming the knee right into the steel post then climbed back in, locking in the Bite of the Dragon Submission once again.
Beth struggled this time, fighting to her feet and would drop Serena with a jawjacker. She hobbled up as Serena tackled her to the corner, aiming right for that knee as Beth pushed her off. Serena charged in again taking a boot to the face, Beth charging in with a clothesline taking her head off.
She rose up pulling Serena up, hitting three big uppercuts then pulled her up for a suplex but her knee gave out, Serena snapping her with a DDT going for the cover only for two. She rose up as Tamina pulled herself back into the ring, Serena catching her off guard with hard shots to the back of the head, going for a piledriver but she was dumped over.
Serena pulled herself back onto the apron trying to suplex her to the floor but Tamina blocked and rose Serena up then dropped her to the floor face and chest first. Tamina went after her, pulling her up and rammed her into the barricade following up with a powerslam to the floor. Tamina grabbed her legs and would slingshot her right into the steel post then connected with a kick to the face, tossing her into the ring and climbed the top rope.
She looked ready to leap when Beth hit the foor causing her to crotch it. She slowly climbed up and came down with a superplex, Serena moving out of the way to the outside as Beth rose up, pulling Tamina up by the hair and bodyslamed her down, coming off the rope with a legdrop, covering only for two.
Beth pulled her up by the hair, tossing her to the rope and missed the double axe, Tamina coming off the rope and caught her with a crossbody block. Tamina would pull her up and strike at her with her knees to the ribs and face, hitting hard samoan chops, tossing her from the ropes and caught her with a samoan drop, moving over to the rope and climbed up, looking for the big splash but Serena climbed up behind her and dropped her with a super bulldog.
Serena slowly made it to her feet, turning Tamina over and covered only for two. She dragged her up, hitting right to the back of the neck and tossed her to the buckle, stomping at her, slowly putting her on top and climbed up looking for a superplex but Beth got under her and placed her on her shoulders. Serena would struggle as Tamina caught her balance and leapt with a cross body while Phoenix completed the electric chair.
Both women pulled Serena up, tossing her to the ropes and caught her with a double flapjack then clotheslined her to the floor as Beth caught Tamina from behind and dropped her with a german suplex. Tamina rose up and came in with a chop to no effect, she chopped again and again but Beth grabbed the wrist, locking it in an armwrench and flipped her over, locking her in from behind and came down with the GlamSlam but Tamina rolled forward countering it.
She charged in and clotheslined her to the floor, getting a head of steam and would leap over with a plancha, crashing on Beth whom caught her and rammed her spine first into the post. Beth rolled into the ring as Serena staggered in getting kicked in the stomach and was dropped with a powerbomb.
Phoenix would grin knowing it was all hers now, picking her up and moved her to the corner and charged in with a splash but missed, Serena leaping off the rope with a Tornado DDT. She quickly climbed the rope and dropped her with a dropkick then went for a bodyslam but Phoenix blocked and pushed her off, grabbing her by the throat and slammed her down with ease.
Phoenix picked her up but Serena punched hard to the knee and dropped her with a piledriver, rising up and signaled this was it, pulling her up as Phoenix came to life with a hard haymaker to the face, tossing her to the ropes hard but Serena did a suicide dive right into the knee, dropping her as she picked her up and dropped her with the Fall From Grace then quickly rolled back as Tamina leapt from the rope hitting the big splash.
Tamina rose up and ran hard at Serena going for the spear but Serena moved out of the way, Tamina ramming right into the steel post as Serena quickly covered Beth....for three.
"Ladies and Gentlemen here is your winner and still NWA Women's Champion, Serena."
Busted over the mouth but still champion as Serena took her title and rose it up in the air. She by herself defeated two monsters in the ring, able to outwit and outsmart them and better yet, survive as she rolled out of the ring, raising her title belt up as Beth held her ribs while Tamina her shoulder, both of them pissed off that the Queen of Pro Wrestling still lived on.
We moved to the back where Team Hart were talking with the trainers about the status of Chris Benoit as it seemed Benoit was assaulted after the US Title match backstage and were given word that he would be unable to compete as they were now a man down, Owen not knowing what to do until Natalya came up.
"Let me fill in."
"What? Nattie are you crazy I can't let you-"
"You said we live as one and we fight as one, I owe them one Owen you know it. Come on let me in."
"Fine...just don't do anything crazy okay, we don't need what happened to Bret happen to you."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA Cruiserweight Championship!"
(Play Gabriel/Taka)
Taka Michinoku had the edge in experience for sure, but Justin Gabriel was the first one to revolutionize the Cruiserweight division in the NWA, it was going to be a battle of knockouts for sure, as the two men locked up in the center of the ring, Gabriel bringing him down with a quick arm drag. Taka rolled up to his feet and bounced off the ropes, coming in with a cross body block, but Gabriel rolled through, hooking the leg. Taka kicked out before the referee got there, tossing Gabriel to the outside, sliding right out.
Gabriel and Taka started trading blows on the floor, just blasting away at each other with no signs of slowing down, as Taka got a kick to the gut, then tossed Gabriel back into the ring. He got back up quickly, Taka climbing the apron and leaping in over Gabriel, flipping and landing on his feet, running to the ropes on the far side. He leapt at Gabriel with a flying leg lariat, but Gabriel caught his leg and slingshotted him straight over the top to the floor, waiting for Taka to rise.
He leapt over with a plauncha, Taka moving out of the way, but Gabriel landed on the apron, hopping back inside the ring, waiting for Taka to make a move. Taka slid in under the rope, keeping an eye on Gabriel as he slowly got to his feet, the two men starting to slowly circle each other. Taka shot a kick to the legs, but Gabriel avoided it, going for a kick of his own. Taka ducked underneath it, the two men backing off, neither man wanting to make a mistake in this match at all. They locked up, Taka quickly hitting a snap mare, kicking Gabriel in the back with a spinal tap kick not once, but twice. He came off the ropes with a low dropkick to the side of the head, knocking Gabriel down, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Gabriel easily got the shoulder up, rolling onto his gut.
Taka went to pick him up, but Gabrie answered by dropping to his knees and delivered a headbutt to the abdomen, before leaping up and dropkicking Taka right in the face, rocking him to the ropes. Taka was dizzy for sure, coming off the ropes slowly into Gabriel who locked him in an arm wringer, kicking at the midsection, then swinging with a roundhouse kick, taking Taka down, going for the count. 1.... 2.... no, Taka kicked out, Gabriel having the advantage. He brought Taka to the corner, sending him to the far side, but Taka leapt up, hooking Gabriel's head, sending him onto the apron with a headscissor. Taka grabbed him, going for a suplex, but Gabriel landed behind him, coming off the ropes, leaping with a spinning heel kick that took Taka to the apron himself.
Gabriel ran from the far side, but Taka ducked under the middle rope and back dropped Gabriel over the top to the floor from the apron, falling into the ring afterward. Gabriel hit the mats hard, slowly trying to get to his feet. He got up, turning around to see Taka flying off the rope with a spaceman plancha, taking him down, Taka falling to the mats himself. The referee began to lay the count down on both men, as they started to stir around four or five. Taka sent Gabriel into the ring at seven, sliding in at eight himself, climbing up to the second rope. Gabriel got up, Taka coming at him with a flying reverse elbow to the jaw, taking Gabriel down, hooking the leg. 1.... 2.... no, Gabriel kicked out. Taka lifted him up and dropped him down with a bodyslam, locking in a triangle choke on the mat.
Gabriel struggled in the hold, kicking his legs, waving his free arm, eventually rolling onto his stomach and breaking the chokehold. He got to his feet groggily, Taka kicking him right back down with a low dropkick. He placed Gabriel in the corner in a seated position before backing up. He ran for a low dropkick in the corner, but Gabriel rolled out of the way, Taka crotching the bottom turnbuckle! Taka rolled out from the corner in pain, Gabriel sliding back into the ring, cradling him up in a grapevine crucifix. 1.... 2.... no, Taka got a shoulder up, getting to his feet slowly. Gabriel sent him off the ropes, coming off the far side with a springboard spinning heel kick, taking Taka down. Taka got back to his feet in the corner, Gabriel leaping with a monkey flip, taking Taka out of the corner.
He rose up, holding his back, Gabriel going for a clothesline, but Taka crucifixed around it, going for it, but Gabriel was just a bit too strong, countering into a samoan drop, covering right from the samoan drop position. 1.... 2.... Taka reversed and rolled Gabriel up! 1.... 2.... no, Gabriel kicked out, nailing Taka in the face with an elbow to slow him down, dropping him to a knee. He rose up to the second rope, leaping, but Taka caught him with a roundhouse to the midsection, Gabriel staying on his feet, but holding himself. He turned around into a dropkick, getting knocked down, but got right back up. He got hit with a second dropkick, again springing back up. Taka nailed a third dropkick, rocking Gabriel to the corner, but Gabriel shot out of the corner with a flying elbow smash, knocking Taka to the corner. Taka exploded out of the corner, charging forward, but Gabriel leapt up, going for a frankensteiner, but Taka was able to lift him back up, going for a powerbomb, but Gabriel rolled forward, rolling Taka up! 1.... 2.... no, Taka kicked out, Gabriel running forward and taking a tiltawhirl side slam, Taka covering right after! 1.... 2.... no, Gabriel kicked out.
What a sequence, as both men were down, Taka rising up in the corner, going for a buzzsaw kick, but Gabriel ducked it, hitting a school boy! 1.... 2.... no, Taka kicked out of it, picking Gabriel up for the Michinoku Driver, but Gabriel slid out of it, landing on his feet, swinging with the Goodnyte kick, but Taka took the kick with his arms, blocking the knockout, but still taking the kick hard! Gabriel used the opportunity to grab Taka from behind, lifting him for a German suplex, but Taka flipped back, landing right upon his feet! He swung with the Flash kick, but Gabriel caught his foot, turning it into a capture powerbomb, hooking the shoulders! 1.... 2.... no, Taka kicked out of it, but barely. He was stuck on the canvas, Gabriel going to the top. He leapt up with the 450, but Taka rolled away, Gabriel landing on his feet and rolling, pulling himself up in the far corner!
Taka ran forward, leaping with the Super K, but Gabriel rolled out of the corner, Taka leaping up to the top rope and flying with a blind cross body, but Gabriel caught him and powerslammed him straight outta the air, covering! 1.... 2.... no, Taka barely kicked out of it, Gabriel thought that was it! He went for Purgatory, but Taka was able to roll out of it, getting to his feet quickly, Gabriel swinging with the Goodnyte kick again, but Taka swung with the Flash kick, ducking the Goodnyte and nailing Gabriel in the back of the head in ONE motion! The referee slid over to Gabriel... calling for the bell!
"Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a knockout, your winner and still NWA Cruiserweight Champion, Taka Michinoku!"
Literally, in a flash, Taka Michinoku defeated Justin Gabriel by knockout, increasing the number to 16 KOs! Taka rose up slowly, before being handed the title, raising it over his head before falling out of the ring, heading to the back, as Gabriel just started to get to his feet, a standing ovation for him, but Taka was the man in the Cruiserweight division. Gabriel had nothing to be ashamed of, giving Taka his respects, applauding him, and leaving the ring.

(Play Hardys/Demo/LoD)
The Hardy Boys and Christopher Daniels were pissed off, as Demolition and the LoD came down to the ring with backup in Mr. Fuji and Paul Ellering! All six men were in the ring, Demolition hammering away on Jeff, as LoD just started battering Matt in the far corner. Demolition and LoD launched the Hardys at each other, Matt and Jeff crashing into each other, falling down on the canvas. LoD clotheslined the hell outta Matt, taking him right over the top, as on the far side, Demolition launched Jeff over the top, right on top of Daniels on the other side!
Finally, Demolition and LoD had the ring to themselves, as they all started hammering away on each other, the referee having no control over the match, trying to restore some sort of order. Hawk and Ax were paired off on one side, as Animal and Smash were on the other, all four men just battering each other with right hands. Animal launched Smash towards the center of the ring, as Ax threw Hawk into the center, Hawk and Smash colliding in the middle of the ring, then they started hammering away on each other! The referee finally got Ax and Animal out of the ring, Smash and Hawk being the legal men, as the Hardys were still down on the mat.
Jeff slowly started to enter the ring, as Smash clotheslined Hawk down, then grabbed Jeff and planted him down into the mat with a body slam, continuing to hammer away, as Fuji called for him to bring him to the corner. Smash brought Jeff over, driving his face into Ax’s boot in the corner before tagging in, the two men dropping him down with a double suplex, then just started to hammer away on him until the referee pushed Smash out, Jeff taking a pounding. Hawk got back up, tagging to Animal, Animal turning Ax around and blasting him in the head before powerslamming him down, going to work on Jeff.
He ran into the corner, but Jeff moved, Animal’s shoulder cracking into the steel post, Jeff crawling over to Matt and tagging in. Matt quickly hit all fours as Jeff leapt off with Poetry in Motion, but Animal caught him and lifted him over his shoulder, long darting Jeff right into Matt, knocking the two of them down! Matt and Jeff got back up to their feet on the ropes, Animal taking both of them over the top to the floor again, as Ax turned Animal around, suplexing him down with a vertical suplex. Ax tagged Smash in, as the two of them picked Animal up, sending him into the ropes, going for a double clothesline, but Animal ran through the both of them, coming off with a double clothesline of his own, tagging in Hawk.
Hawk climbed up on the top rope, leaping with a flying clothesline, taking both members of Demolition down, covering Ax. 1…. 2…. No, Matt broke the count up, saving their belts, hammering away on Hawk, but Hawk just rose up, Matt’s punches having no effect whatsoever. Hawk grabbed him by the throat, lifting Matt into the air with a two handed choke! He tossed Matt down into the corner, catching him coming out with a clothesline that almost took his head off. Ax turned Hawk around, hammering down on him with hammer blows to the back of the head and neck, dropping him to a knee. He tagged in Smash quickly, the two of them lifting him up for a double suplex, dropping him onto the mat, Smash covering. 1….2…. No, Hawk kicked out, getting up to his feet slowly.
Smash grabbed him up, picking him up in the corner, hammering away, but Matt came from behind, rolling him up in a school boy, hooking the tights! 1…. 2…. No, Smash kicked out, Matt hammering down on him to try and keep him down. Smash shoved him back, Matt bouncing off the ropes, clotheslining him, but Smash didn’t go down. He came off the ropes again, Smash nailing a huge back body drop, Matt almost hitting the lights. Hawk came up behind Smash, lifting him in an atomic drop, sending him out of the ring.
Ax went down to help Smash, as Hawk tagged in Animal, the two of them hammering away on Matt Hardy, Jeff reaching out for the tag. Daniels got onto the apron, the referee ordering him to get off, but LoD grabbed him by the throat, readying to destroy the hell out of him, but Jeff grabbed a chair from behind, slamming it into the backs of LoD. LoD turned around, Jeff not showing any fear, throwing the chair at Animal, who caught it, but took a dropkick right into the chair, the chair smacking him in the face.
Hawk ran forward, chasing Jeff out of the ring, Jeff running past Demolition, as Hawk ran after him, Demolition grabbing Hawk and lifting him up, dropping him face first upon the steel steps! Ax stepped into the ring, Matt quickly tagging in Jeff, as the two of them double teamed him, sending him to the far corner, Matt hitting all fours, Jeff hitting Poetry in Motion again, but Ax clotheslined him straight out of the air, almost ripping his head off! Matt got back up as Ax lifted him high over his head, dropping him down face first onto the mat.
Matt got back up to his feet groggily, holding himself as Ax tagged in Smash, hitting the backbreaker, Smash coming off the top rope, nailing the Decapitation right on Matt Hardy! Ax kicked Matt out of the ring, leaving the ring to give him more of a beating, but Daniels was right there, protecting Matt at all costs, but Ax tossed him right into the first row of ringside, Mr. Fuji calling him on the entire time.
Jeff quickly grabbed the chair again, using it to get to his feet, as Hawk rolled back in, Hardy readying to swing, when Paul Ellering got into the ring, nailing Jeff in the back of the head with his cane! Jeff dropped to a knee, holding his head, as Paul left the ring, Hawk getting to his feet, taking Jeff’s head off with a lariat, calling for Animal. Animal tagged in, lifting Jeff onto his shoulders as Hawk turned around, heading to the top rope, waiting for Animal to turn around. He did indeed, turn around, Hawk leaping for the clothesline, but Jeff nailed him in the face with a pair of brass knuckles, knocking him right outta the air!
Jeff hammered down on the top of Animal’s head with the knucks, getting down, nailing him with a Twist of Hate! Smash turned around, getting nailed in the face with the knucks as well, also getting nailed with a Twist of Hate! Jeff rose to the top rope, leaping off with the Swanton, crashing down upon Smash, going for the cover as Daniels held Ax back on the outside! 1…. 2…. 3!
“Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners and still NWA World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boys!”
Damn it, the Hardys stole another one from the jaws of defeat, as they were able to slip by Demolition and the Legion of Doom, barely escaping with their titles intact, as Daniels regrouped with all of them, pulling them to the back quickly, before they all got up to their feet. The Hardys snuck away with the title belts in tow, LoD and Demolition being robbed, as even their backup couldn’t help them, the Hardys walking out with the NWA World Tag Team Championships.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here with Jeff Jarrett."
"They know who the hell I am, give me the microphone before you piss me off. All you people out there need to realize something. I AM NWA, through and through. When I went to the WWF in 1998, I was the NWA North American Heavyweight Champion. I represented the NWA then, just as I do now. When I built TNA from the ground up, I brought back the NWA lineage, and brought the prestige of the NWA back to the wrestling world. Before I was contracted as a wrestler here in the NWA, I was an investor, and I fought to bring the United States Championship back home where it belongs. You people should be thanking me for making sure that the United States Championship stayed where it's rightfully meant to be, and yet you cheer some yellow skinned, rice eating Jap bastard for holding a title that he can't even pronounce the letters to. Remember this, you uneducated, ungrateful jackass people... this is my world... and in my world, I am the United States Champion. It's my world, and I'm allowing all of you to live in it."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a fatal four way match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA United States Championship!"
(Play Jarrett/Booker/Benoit/Chono)
Chono dropped the belt in the center of the ring, daring anyone to cross the line drawn with the belt, as he stood tall in the center, waiting for someone to step up... as Chris Benoit answered the call, stepping right up to him, staring Chono dead in the face. Chono looked down at him, no fear, no intimidation at all, as Booker T walked forward, getting right up in their faces, Chono switching his gaze from Benoit to Booker, then back again, as Benoit and Booker exchanged glares, their history being well documented. Finally, Jarrett walked up, and took a right hand from Chono, rocking him back into the corner, Chono hammering away on his head repeatedly, as the bell sounded and we were off and running.
Chono ran with a clothesline, nailing Jarrett in the corner as he came out, taking a clothesline from Benoit, being knocked down. He got right back up and took a side kick in the face from Booker T, knocking him back to the far corner. Jarrett came out and took a big back body drop from Booker, reeling back up to his feet, as Chono clotheslined him over the top to the floor, Jarrett was taken out of the equation! Chono turned around into a stiff reverse knife edge from Benoit! Benoit went low with a kick, hammering away on Chono, until Chono started to fight back with rights of his own, Booker T coming in to try and help Benoit, but Chono punched both of them back, taking them on all by himself. He came off the ropes, but Jarrett pulled him from the outside, pulling him under the rope, going for a right hand, but it was blocked, Chono blasting him in the face before tossing him into the steps!
Back in the ring, Booker and Benoit started mixing it up, trading right hands until Booker nailed Benoit with a knee to the midsection, bringing him to the corner. He hit Benoit with a chop to the chest before taking him out of the corner with a high hip toss, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit easily kicked out of it, getting back to his feet, as Booker closed the distance, irish whipping him to the far side, locking in a sleeper hold. Benoit quickly grabbed the arms and the head, hitting a snapmare takedown to break the sleeper, Booker rolling to his feet, getting caught with a knee deep in the midsection, flipping him over onto his back. Benoit turned around, seeing Chono coming with a clothesline, hitting the armbar, going for the Crippler Crossface! Chono rolled forward, breaking it and holding his arm, looking at Benoit who just stared right at his face, ready to intercept him again.
Chono slowly got to his feet and approached Benoit slowly, both men sticking their hands out for the grapple, eventually locking up, Benoit hitting an arm wringer on Chono, who swung with a short arm clothesline, but Benoit ducked it and hooked in a waistlock, controlling Chono. He ducked several elbows until Chono bent down, grabbing Benoit's leg and pulling him down, Benoit kicking him off the far side, Chono leaping over him. Benoit hit a leapfrog, Chono running into a jumping leg lariat from Booker T, nailing him right in the face! Benoit ran forward into a body slam, Chono got back up into a body slam, Booker T was on fire, as Sister Sherri cheered him on from the outside.
He placed Chono into the corner, mounting him for a ten punch, but Jarrett came onto the apron and grabbed him, guillotining him off the rope, stopping Booker's momentum. He went to enter the ring, but Benoit hit a baseball slide right into his legs, dropping Jarrett face first onto the apron, knocking him down again. Chono came out of the corner as Benoit kicked him in the gut, hitting a snap suplex, floating right over for the count. 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out of it, Benoit holding onto the arm like a pit bull, locking in an armbar, bending the elbow behind Chono's head, almost a sitting top wristlock.
Chono fought back to his feet, easily overpowering Benoit, as he bent him backward, Benoit bridging on his neck. He tried to power his way back up, but Chono was just too strong, so Benoit broke the bridge and rolled out, hitting a drop toe hold, taking Chono down. Benoit hit a side leglock, but Booker quickly broke this up with a legdrop right onto Benoit's chest. He picked Benoit up and hit a sidewalk slam, dropping him hard upon the mat, as Jarrett rolled inside slowly. He got back to his feet and hit Booker with right hands, rocking him back to the ropes, sending him off the far side, but got reversed. Booker went for a back body drop, but lowered his head, Jarrett quickly hitting a neckbreaker, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up, picking Jarrett up off the mat and drilled him hard with a slam.
He missed with an elbow as Jarrett got to his feet, quickly hitting a dropkick, knocking Chono down. They got right back up, Jarrett going for another one, but Chono caught his feet and slingshotted him into the top turnbuckle, Jarrett falling back into a reverse DDT, Chono covering right after. 1.... 2.... no, Jarrett kicked out of it, Chono picking him up, but Jarrett delivered rights and lefts to the body, locking Chono in a side headlock. Chono picked him up and delivered a back suplex, dropping Jarrett on the back of his head, when Benoit appeared out of nowhere, going for a German suplex, but Chono held onto the rope, not letting Benoit get the suplexes. Benoit hammered away on Chono's back repeatedly, going for the suplexes again, but Chono fired an elbow right into the mouth, busting Benoit's mouth, breaking the hold.
Chono ran with a flying shoulder block, Benoit ducking, Chono taking Jarrett down, as Booker T got a hold of Benoit and drove his head into the turnbuckle, kicking and punching away at him. He pulled Benoit out of the corner with an arm wringer, then hit a sidekick right in the face, knocking Benoit down. Chono got back up, missing a clothesline, Booker nailing him with a sidekick as well, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out, Booker quickly getting back to his feet, stomping at a rising Chono. He came off the ropes, but was caught by Jarrett who took him down with a drop toe hold, Chono delivering a leg drop to the back of Booker's head.
Unlikely teamwork there as Jarrett extended his hand to Chono, and Chono took it, kicking Jarrett in the gut and lifting him high into the air with a military press, slamming Jarrett hard down on the mat from high above. Jarrett got back to his feet, getting knocked down with a shoulder block, as Chono rose to the top rope, waiting for someone to rise. It was Jarrett, as he got back up, Chono nailing him with a flying shoulder tackle, covering, hooking the leg. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit broke the count up, grabbing Chono and planting him with a DDT, spiking his head into the mat, covering. 1.... 2.... no, Booker T broke the count up this time, grabbing Benoit by the legs and lifting him up, driving him down with a snap spinebuster, falling right over for the cover. 1.... 2.... no, Benoit fought out of it.
Benoit got up on the ropes, as Booker leapt with a jumping sidekick, but Benoit ducked, Booker crotching himself on the rope, falling to the floor below, Jarrett coming from behind and rolling Benoit up, but Benoit rolled through with it, pinning Jarrett's shoulders down, but Jarrett grabbed the tights and pulled, pulling Benoit back down, holding the tights! 1.... 2.... no, Benoit fired Jarrett off, right into a lariat from Chono that flipped Jarrett like a pancake! Oh my god, Jarrett's head may have been taken off right there as Benoit got to his feet, Chono going for a full nelson slam, but Benoit stepped on Chono's foot, then switched behind, hitting a German suplex, holding on like a pitbull! He lifted and drove Chono down with the second one, still hanging on like a beast, going for the third, but Chono blocked it, switching behind and locking in a full nelson, driving Benoit down with a Dragon suplex, but held on! He got back to his feet and delivered a second Dragon suplex, still holding onto it, getting back up and finishing off with a full nelson slam, driving Benoit down, as Chono fell onto the mat as well!
All four men were down, Booker T on the outside, Jarrett probably thinking he was back in Tennessee, as Chono and Benoit just battered each other with suplexes, neither man moving, as the crowd started to rumble. Booker T slowly got back into the ring as Jarrett was just starting to pull himself up to his feet, charging at Booker with a clothesline, but Booker ducked, chopping Jarrett down to the canvas! He quickly covered right after. 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up, grabbing Booker T, delivering a belly to belly suplex, staying on his feet, as Benoit again rose up behind him, grabbing him and nailing another German suplex, holding onto it, slowly getting to his feet. He drove Chono down with a second German suplex, still holding onto it with all his might, then lifted and drilled Chono down with the third German, finally letting go. He got back to his feet and started to cut his throat, when Jarrett came from nowhere with a clothesline, but Benoit ducked it, hitting him with a German suplex!
Benoit held on, delivering a second one to Jarrett, still holding onto it, and then drove him down with the third, his head right next to Chono's, though his feet were pointing at the opposite corner. Booker T got to his feet, chopping at Benoit, but Benoit took the chop hard, retaliating with one of his own! This turned Booker T around, Benoit grabbed him and nailed a German suplex! He held on, as tradition would have it, and hit the second German suplex, still hanging on, nailing the third German suplex, as all three men's heads were right next to each other, each of them pointing at different corners, as Benoit rose up, cutting his throat, then rising to the top rope.
Benoit rose up and jumped off, nailing all three competitors with one headbutt, the fans exploding wildly! Benoit shook and convulsed in pain, but got an arm over one of his opponents... he got an arm over Booker T! 1.... 2.... no, Booker T kicked out of it, as Chono and Jarrett were getting to their feet at opposite corners. Booker and Benoit were paired off, hammering away at each other, as Jarrett ran at Chono, getting nailed with a spinning heel kick from Chono, as Benoit suplexed Booker T right onto Jarrett at the same time! Booker T rolled out of the ring in pain, as Benoit and Chono were now the only two men on their feet, trading chop after chop!
Jarrett got back to his feet slowly, turning around and catching a chop from Chono AND Benoit! Jarrett was knocked down to the canvas, as Chono and Benoit continued to hammer away, Chono sneaking in a knee to the gut, then lifted Benoit onto the top rope. Chono climbed up with him and drove Benoit's head into the turnbuckle, stunning him, hooking him up for a superplex, as Booker T slowly slid into the ring and got underneath Chono, hooking him up for a powerbomb! Booker drove Chono down with the powerbomb, causing Chono to superplex the hell outta Benoit! Booker fell to a seated position in the corner as Jarrett scrambled over Chono! 1.... 2.... no, Booker broke the count up, Jarrett getting back to his feet, ducking a clothesline, and nailing Booker T with The Stroke! He planted Booker's face into the mat, turning him around and covering! 1.... 2.... no, Chono broke the count up as Jarrett tried to back away, but Chono just clotheslined him with such impact that Jarrett bounced between the ropes to the floor.
Benoit got back to his feet, getting behind Chono and locking him for more German suplexes, but Chono quickly hit a drop toe hold, going for the STF, but Benoit turned around and kicked Chono off the ropes, catching him coming off with a small package! 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out, swinging with a clothesline, but was caught right in the Crippler Crossface! Chono was being bent backward with such intensity that Benoit's veins were popping from his arms, his face a beet red, shouting for Chono to tap! Chono refused, the referee right there, asking him time and time again, but Chono struggled on, crawling to the ropes inch by inch, his hand being a mere fingertip away, he couldn't quite make it!
Benoit reeled back harder, Chono quickly pushing back on his hand, landing on top of Benoit, pushing his shoulders down! 1.... 2.... no, Benoit broke the hold, kicking out of it, Chono rising up in the corner, Benoit charging in, but Chono moved, Benoit's sternum cracking the buckle! Chono ran off the far side, Benoit turning around right into the Yakuza kick, being knocked right out of the game! Jarrett quickly came from out of nowhere, rolling Chono up, but Chono rolled through, pinning Jarrett with the rollup! 1.... 2.... no, Jarrett fired him off, reaching outside the ring to get the momentum he needed, as Chono was pushed off, right into the Book End! Booker covered, hooking the leg! 1.... 2.... no, Chono kicked out of it, Booker T couldn't believe it!
Chono slowly got to his feet in the corner, Booker coming at him with a sidekick, but crotched the top rope again, Chono nailing Booker with the Yakuza kick, taking him straight out of the ring! Behind him though, Jarrett grabbed his guitar, waiting for Chono to turn around, swinging at Chono's face, but Chono ducked it, kicking Jarrett low in the gut and hooked his arms, lifting him, and driving him down with the ChonoTrigger! Chono covered him, hooking the leg! 1.... 2.... 3!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and still NWA United States Champion, Masahiro Chono!"
Chono literally took everyone out of the game one by one, the last one being Jeff Jarrett, as Chono proved that HE was the King of the Mountain, and no one else, as the referee handed Chono the belt, raising his hand high into the air, holding his head in pain, what a matchup he just endured! Chono just beat three people in one match, and they were all former United States Champions, as Chono rose to the rope, holding the title over his head. Benoit rolled out of the ring, heading to the back, as Sister Sherri helped Booker to the back as well, Jarrett was still laid out in the ring, as Chono stood over him, raising the title over his head again to a massive roar, before leaving the ring.
Chono headed down the ramp, victorious over three of the best wrestlers in the NWA, defying the odds and retaining the United States Championship in what was nothing less than a war.
"Ladies and Gentleman, this contest scheduled for one fall is a Triple Threat Bout and it is for the NWA Women's Championship. Introducing first, from Buffalo New York, she is the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. From the Isle of Samoa, she is The Warrior Princess, Tamina. And from the Edge of Sanity, she is the reigning NWA Women's Champion, Serena."
She rose her title up in the center of the ring making a point she was the champion and handed the belt over, the bell sounding as Serena moved over to Beth and locked up but was pushed back. She rose up and went to Tamina and locked up and was pushed back.
She rose and gave Beth the finger then Tamina, causing both women to charge in, Tamina accidentally spearing Beth as Serena quickly grabbed her and tossed her to the floor, covering Phoenix..for two.
She cursed on that one pulling her up and tossed her to the rope, having her smack into Tamina and dropped Beth with a backbody drop, coming off the rope with a shoulder lariat then a bodyslam, locking her in a quick triangle choke. She broke the hold and tossed Beth to the ropes again forcing her to knock into Tamina again keeping her to the floor, swinging with a clothesline but Beth tackled her to the mat.
She hit her with hard fists, pulling her up and pressed her up like a feather and tossed her out of the ring but Tamina caught her. With her superior strength she would do a fallaway slam, Serena smacking rib first into the post and hit the mat.
Tamina then looked at Beth and climbed the apron then into the ring as they would stare down. They would then start punching back and forth, Beth using her elbows as Tamina would kick to her chest as they would lock up jocking for position. Tamina gave a push but Beth pushed her back proving her dominace as Tamina came off the rope with a clothesline, no effect.
Beth would then shove her as Tamina caught her with a kick to the jaw, knocking her to the corner and exploded on her with haymakers and headbutts. She placed her on top and went for a superplex but Beth pushed her off, coming down with a double axe but Tamina caught her right into a capture belly to belly.
She rushed in and dropped her with a shoulder block then a flying shoulderblock, coming in with a superkick but Beth caught the foot and dropped her with a clothesline nearly taking her head off. She would press Tamina up, tossing her hard to the buckle and kicked to her ribs, ramming the knees against her and would headbutt her.

We moved to the back where Team Hart were talking with the trainers about the status of Chris Benoit as it seemed Benoit was assaulted after the US Title match backstage and were given word that he would be unable to compete as they were now a man down, Owen not knowing what to do until Natalya came up.
"Let me fill in."
"What? Nattie are you crazy I can't let you-"
"You said we live as one and we fight as one, I owe them one Owen you know it. Come on let me in."
"Fine...just don't do anything crazy okay, we don't need what happened to Bret happen to you."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the NWA Cruiserweight Championship!"
(Play Gabriel/Taka)

"Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a knockout, your winner and still NWA Cruiserweight Champion, Taka Michinoku!"

Taka rose up slowly, before being handed the title, raising it over his head before falling out of the ring, heading to the back, as Gabriel just started to get to his feet, a standing ovation for him, but Taka was the man in the Cruiserweight division. Gabriel had nothing to be ashamed of, giving Taka his respects, applauding him, and leaving the ring.
