Week 1
We open up with Bobby Heenan and Vader in the ring ready for combat as Bobby was on the mic.
"Alright you Canadians settle down this isn't a hockey game. We stand here in protest, protest because last week I told the world that this man would be getting a title shot against the World Champion but guess what, Eric Bishoff sent him home because he's 'injured' over a sissy fatal four way bout. So now we're stuck here in the middle of the ring without anyone to face and once again, this company screws over the hard working backbone of the business. We went out there last night and destroyed Hayabusa, made an example out of him and it's Open Fight Night and the man we challenge doesn't have the balls to show up tonight, kind of throws away the whole idea of the concept, so this show isn't getting started until-"
[Play Out Punk]
"Okay hold on Bobby don't have a stroke, but what makes you think you're first in line for a World Title Shot in the first place? I mean, last Wednesday myself and this 450 pound man had a bout on All*Star Wrestling last Wednesday and last time I checked, this big neanderthal lost his temper and the ref threw out the match making me the winner and lets be honest, if that match were to continue I would have kicked his fat ass anyway so if you don't mind-"
Vader pushed Bobby out of the way looking at Punk right in the eye whom just grinned at him ready for a fight, Vader yelling at Bobby to get a match started and away we go. Punk vs. Vader, it was open fight night afterall and this was more of a fight if anything through the bout, while Vader had the power, size Punk had the speed and tenacity on his side, Vader able to use his girth to slow him down and the striking game, but Punk fought right back, hitting him from all angles of the ring trying to wear him down.
As we hit the ten minute mark Punk had Vader out winded, finally getting him down on his back after a hard roundhouse kick to the head, calling for the GTS setting up as Bobby grabbed his foot, Punk kicking him away as Vader splashed him in the corner, slammed him down and came off the rope with the Vaderbomb, covering for three.
Vader rose up flexing his arms but wasn't finished with Punk, coming off the rope again with a second Vaderbomb. Bobby entered the ring, telling him do another as Vader climbed up and came off a third time, crushing Punk below. He held his ribs, spitting up blood as Bobby lead Vader out, yelling into the camera Morrison was next and that was just an example, Nitro cutting to a break.
[Play Out]
Open Fight Night and it was The Horsemen defending against The Rhodes Brothers and they were as cocky as they were arrogant but Cody and Dustin seemed to be working better together, actually more insync this time around, giving them one hell of a run for their money but there were still a lot of kinks in the machine, Cody getting blind tagged out as Dustin went to finish off Tully with the Lonestar but he was pulled in via small package as the Horsemen retained.
Oh Cody was hot, yelling at Dustin whom just shoved him, Dusty having to calm them down as Dillion lead his boys to the back.
"Ladies and gentlemen my guest at this time, Barry Windham. Now last night you had some choice words for our U.S. Champion Masahiro Chono you were unable to acquire the title and-"
"Shut up they've already figured that out and I should be Champion if the referee hadn't screwed me out of it. Now unfortunetly I beat Chono so bad last night he can't be here so this whole Open Fight Night idea is just a waste of time just like all these dammed just like coming to biggest country of hicks, Canada of all places and now I've got nothing to do and no one to fight and I'm telling ya in the mood I"m in I'm ready for a fight."
He looked over as Owen came into the camera.
"No one to fight huh? You have a problem with Canadians because you couldn't beat a champion whom was trained in our dungeon, tell you what, put your boots on cause I'll beat your ass tonight if that's what you're looking for."
"Oh yeah, well suit up little man because the Black Hart is going to be the dead Hart in about five minutes."
Both would walk off as we fade to a commerical break.
[Play Out]
Windham against Hart and this was intense as it was brutal, Windham keeping stiff while Owen would counter when he could, using submission and high flying prowess having the hometown Canadian crowd behind him, Windham escaping to the floor a few times needing to cool off, Owen making sport of him through out the bout and showed Windham, punch him once, Owen will punch back harder.
Windham started turning things around in his favor using his strength game, spitting at the crowd and even got in the face of some of the fans, giving them the 'forearm' finger bashing Owen around the ring, having it in the bag as he lifted him up for the WidowBreaker, a TortureRack Breaker but Owen climbed upon his shoulders, catching him with a victory roll..for the victory.
Owen rose his hand up grinning to the crowd as Windham took his headoff from behind. Oh he lost it as he started to beat and stomp on Owen, pulling him up and took his head off with a clothesline. He rolled to the floor, grabbing a steel chair and bashed it hard over his head, splitting him open looking to do it again when Bret slid violently into the ring tackling him down. Bret would punch like wild fire as Arn and Tully came into the ring to break it up as Dynasty came down to the ring, bandaged and battered up but the sides were even as The Horsemen started to retreat, Bret yelling out for medical staff as Nitro would cut to a break.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I'm back here with an update on Owen Hart, he has suffered a severe concussion and a laceration over his head, Windham will be fined $10,000 for unsportsman like conduct befitting an NWA Wrestler-"
"Screw the fine, you know what I'm sick of the Horsemen walking around here acting like they own the place, last year at War Games we kicked their asses and they still haven't learned a lesson. Last night they nearly killed Dynasty and Natalya, now they took out Owen, you know what Windham, next week we're in Montreal and I"m challenging you to an I Quit Match and when I break your leg I'm gonna beat you with it."
"Well folks that was Bret Hart, the lone gunman of the Hart Family, we still have two more matches for you tonight, lets take you back to the ring."
[Play Out]
Tiger Mask, Sin Cara, Chris Benoit and Kazarian, a fatal fourway to perhaps determine whom was next in line for the cruiserweight championship and this was a cruiserweight class all over the place, each man bringing their own insensity to the match but Kaz was the most intense, really wanting that shot, getting Cara and Mask out of the ring, going for Benoit whom caught him by the arm and locked him in the crippler crossface. Kaz would kick and struggle, reaching for the ropes but unable to move far as he was forced to tap out.
Benoit let him go rolling up with his arm in the air, Kaz holding his arm cursing that he was back on a losing streak, Benoit rolling out of the ring heading to the back. Once we move to the back, Mercury and Savage were in a huge brawl, Mercury slamming his head into a wall as Savage was busted open, tackling Mercury into the camera man filming, in the back you could see Melina and Liz even going at it as security were forced over to break them up, Bishoff yelling out.
"Alright, you four have been going at it for two weeks now on the road, next week, Savage and Liz against Mercury and Melina, mixed tag bout now get the hell out of here."
Security pulled them away, Savage saying he was going to rip his head off and use it as a soccer ball, Mercury cursing off at hime as we had to move to the ring for the Main Event and it was for the Women's Championship.
[Play Out]
Sara Del Rey ready for a fight but she was going up against Natalya Neidhart, ignoring the fact she was banged up from the Horsemen last night she wanted that title and wanted to win it big in Canada. Del Rey would hand the belt over and let the bell sound.
This was a wrestling match in every sense of the word, Del Rey going right to that spine and lower back every chance she had, Nattie losing a lot of power due to her back but went for a counter game, able to slow Del Rey down until she was caught in the ropes.
Del Rey had a stronger striking game, even having better leverage able to ground Nattie whom decided to will herself through the pain and began cranking it up and started to give it right back to Del Rey, able to drop her down going for the Sharpshooter but she was kicked away, sliding through the ropes and hit the floor hard.
She held her back, struggling to get up but she was in too much pain, reaching for the rope but just couldn't make it as the ref rang the bell. Del Rey moved over to the rope, asking for the offical time and a mic, speaking into it.
"For those of you keeping score, that was 7 minutes and 46 seconds, the heart and soul of Canada your greatest woman's export beaten in under 8 minutes. I had hoped for better competition, especially in this country. When this company finds me competition befitting a champion give me a call, until then, I'll be training in the dojo-"
[Play Out]
Del Rey stopped in her tracks gazing upon the ramp staring at the arrival of yet another Canadian export, a former Knock-Out Gail Kim whom slowly made her way down the ramp upon the apron. Del Rey took a few steps back as Kim entered the ring, refusing to take her eyes off of Del Rey whom adjusted the title belt over her shoulder as both of these women would stare off...and Monday Nitro would Fade To Black.
All*Star Wrestling Results
The began with one hell of an opening bout featuring Ricky Steamboat facing off against Vader whom was looking to keep that momentum towards his hunt for the World Title, these two having an old school wrestling classic, Steamboat able to drop him down with the flying chop, Heenan distracting the ref as it gave Vader enough time to recover and finish Ricky with a powerbomb for the victory, following up with three Vaderbombs to further prove his point, Steamboat being helped to the back.
The second bout would feature The Horsemen defending their tag team titles against the team of Sin Cara and TigerMask IV, dispite the crowd being into the masked avengers the Horsemen were too good, too strong and retained off of double team Brainbuster on Cara.
Third match would pit Sugar Shane Helms battling against Joseph Mercury and while Shane gave it his all, Mercury was on a whole other level tonight, beating him with the Mercury RisingDriver, scoring the victory allowing Melina to get in a cheap shot post match saying that was going to be Liz on Nitro.
And in the Main Event, The Great Muta would defend his IWGP Championship against Mr. Perfect whom came ready for a fight and got that in Muta. Unorthodox meets Wrestling personified, these two battled it out for 18 minutes eating up the commercial time as Muta was able to catch Perfect with the Shining Wizard scoring the victory, retaining his title. As All*Star Wrestling came to a close.
Week 2
[Play Out]
The show began with the mixed tag match Bishoff had promised featuring Mercury and Melina against Savage and Liz and Randy ordered Liz to stay on the apron and nothing more as the bout began. What could you say but right out of the shoot Savage tore into Mercury not giving him room to gain ground, trying to end this quickly but Melina was able to cause distractions and break things up when needed giving Mercury a chance to turn things around in his favor.
Mercury drove Savage down with a hard with suplexs, lining up his shot and clocked him right in the jaw with a kick, blowing a kiss to Liz continuing to punish Savage, climbing the top rope mocking him with the flying elbow but missed, Randy coming alive and dropkicked him forcing him to tag in Melina whom got right up in Savage's face, he would pie face her down as Mercury tackled him to his corner, Savage accidentally tagging Liz in as Mercury pulled him to the outside as Liz was forced into the ring.
Melina would grin and pounced on her like a shark to blood, dragging her up by the hair as Liz surprised her with a hard slap over the face. Melina then caught her over the head with a spinkick knocking her out and went to finish her off as she was literally pulled to the outside by Savage whom saw that. Send for the man, fuck that send for security as Savage picked her up and flung her hard into Mercury then clotheslined them both, tossing Melina into the ring and climbed the top rope and came off with the flying elbow right on top of Melina, Mercury pulling her out promply after and left ringside with her post haste, Savage daring them back into the ring as the ref called the bout off, Savage and Liz winning by default, knowing this fued was far from over but tonight they had a moral victory.
A camera in the back moves over to Bishoff's office picking up audio of Gail Kim talking with Bishoff.
"I've already spoken with the wrestling commission and as much as I'd want to just hand title matches over, Del Rey already wrestled before you arrived, if you want I can make a match tonight and if you win you'll be considered as number one contender."
"Bishoff, there are some women that are extraordinary and then there's Gail Kim, my talents don't come cheap and I suggest if you want this division to be noticed, you do the right thing."
She would walk out of his office as through the window the camera caught Bishoff running his hands through his hair, knowing he was in quite a pickle as we move to the next bout of the night.
[Play Out]
This match was actually happening as it was Vader against Misawa and both of these monsters met in the center of the ring as Bobby told Vader to take him and once the bell rung this fight was exactly that, a fight. Misawa and Vader would exchange powermoves, power punches and power offense that normally would break a normal man, Misawa not afraid to take it to the skies if needed but Vader on this night wasn't kidding around; catching Misawa off guard with a body avalanche then finished him off with a powerbomb.
Vader then moved to the top rope, coming off with not one, not two but three Vaderbombs to prove a point, covering Misawa for the victory. Vader would kick him out of the ring like trash and would flex his arms, Heenan getting on the mic.
"Another example of why this man should be World Heavyweight Champion, for five years he's been passed over and pushed under the rug and he's a prime athlete who's still in top physical condition. We know that hack John Morrison isn't here tonight cause if he was he would crawl on his hands and knees and beg for Vader to not crush him beneath him. Morrison, that title belt is going to belong to us and if we have to go through the whole roster to get to you we will. A real fighting champion would come down to this ring and accept-"
[Play Out Morrison.]
Morrison came down to the ring in street clothes but had the title belt over his shoulder, taking the mic from Heenan and got right in his face.
"Lets cut to the chase, you wanted me, here I am. Vader, you want a shot at my World Title and you think sending a bunch of people to the hospital is going to scare me? I beat three men two weeks ago and the last thing I'm scared of is a guy who just now is rising in the ranks when I've done it...twice. You want to curtain jerk with Heenan that's your choice, you want this Title...try and take it from me."
Morrison tossed the mic at Bobby while during the distraction Vader came in, Morrison ducking a punch and started to hit back at him, avoiding his haymakers and caught him with elbows and kicks, coming in for the Nitroblast but Vader blocked and took his head off with a clothesline. Vader would move him over to the corner as he came off with a hard Vaderbomb right over the ribs. He would walk over, picking up the World Title and just threw it at Morrison and let him lay there in the ring in pain, walking up the ramp with Bobby knowing they got his attention as Nitro cut to a break.
We came back as a camera caught a bit of commotion backstage between Cody and Dustin.
"No, the problem is I do all the work and you try to sneak on in like you own the ring and blow the match."
"Excuse me little brother but last time I checked, I hold the most experience of this team so try not to screw this up tonight."
He would walk off as Cody walked in the opposit direction as we moved back to the ring.
[Play Out]
Gail Kim making her wrestling debut here tonight as she was up against Molly Holly whom got right in her face from the get go, using her roughneck strong style offense on her in the early going, however Kim was a finess wrestler and knew more than enough tricks to turn the tides in her favor, dropping her with Eat-Defeat, jacking her jaw and caught her for the pinfall. She rose with her hand in the air, rolling out of the ring heading up the ramp.
"Okay folks if you'll excuse me for a moment, Gail Kim if you could join me here on the interview stage, impressive win there, last week you made your presence known getting right int he face of our Women's Champion, obviously you have title aspirations."
"Figured that out for yourself didn't you? Sara Del Rey for three months has been going around telling the world she's the reason why women's pro wrestling is getting a face lift and claims she's the greatest product of this industry. There's a reason why I'm called the International Woman and that's because one company built an entire division around me and at one time I wasn't the pillar, I was the measuring stick. When this company signed me they knew whom they were getting. Del Rey, sooner or later you'll come to terms that you can't break the measuring stick, you can't topple the pillar and you can't beat...defeat."
She would slowly make her way off the stage, Kevin fixing his tie a bit as she made her way to the back, making one hell of a statement that she was coming for the championship belt and the Knock-Out made her new home official in the NWA.
Cameras move to the back as JJ Dillion was talking things over with Windham about his match later tonight, he was dead serious about fighting Bret in the Main event and nothing was going to stop him as we had to get back to the ring.
[Play Out]
The Rhodes Brothers, reluctant against Demoliton and already they were arguing, now over the fact one of them was called out before the other during the introduction, giving Demolition an edge in this match as the Rhodes Family just broke down within itself, dispite getting in some good offense, the bickering refused to quit as Cody this time was the one whom left Dustin high and dry, Dusty trying to talk sense into him as Dustin was dropped with the Decapatator for the victory. Too late to put a stop to it now as Demolition were climbing the ranks and Cody didn't seem to care, Dustin leaving the ring and was hot going up the ramp.
"Well too bad for the Rhodes Family, still fueding with each other hopefully Dusty can get a handle on that, folks I have just been given one hell of a match card for this Saturday's All*Star Wrestling event as Chris Benoit will be squaring off against Ultimo Dragon whom on the road has defeated Billy Kidman, Kazarian, Sin Cara and Christopher Daniels while Benoit has toppled Shane Helms and Joey Mercury on the road, the winner will be declared #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Championshp. And the Main Event folks it is the return of Masahiro Chono, cleared to ring action defending the U.S. Title against, ready for this, Tiger Mask IV plus more this Saturday we hope you tune in, right now lets take you to the ring for our Main Event of the evening."
[Play Out]
The Pro Canadian crowd was behind Bret as Windham was ostrasized as Hitler in the ring, hearing the bell sound and away we went. Bret was not holding back, actually blasting Windham with haymakers, backbreakers, neckbreakers, headlock takedown and suplexes, going at a 100 miles an hour, Windham barely able to keep up as Bret bashed his head into the steel post three times.
Bret dragged him around the ringside area, slamming him into the announce table then bodyslammed him through it, fists of rapid fire busting Windham open as he tossed him into the ring. To say Bret was beating the shit out of him was an understatement, Bret refused to hold back and Windham was only able to turn the tides in his favor with a thumb to the eye, now starting to use that power offense against him, making sure to egg the canadian crowd on.
Hell during the match he stole a canadian flag from a crowd member and broke it over Bret's back then began to choke him with it. Windham would nearly incite a riot when he tossed Bret to the floor, plowing his nose into the flag and pushed a fan on his ass that got into his face, Bret tackling him through the crowd barrier and proceeded to destroy him.
Once back at ringside, Bret got a hold of a steel chair and tattooed it on Windham's back, hitting him with Bret Hart offense then dropped him in the center of the ring and would apply the sharpshooter. Bret wasn't kidding around tonight as he pulled back, snapping him right in half as Windham screamed out refusing to quit, biting his hand as Arn and Tully spilled into the ring, hitting Bret from behind.
They would start stomping and beating on him, using the steel chair and the tag belts to beat upon Canada's favorite son as Windham eventually rose, blasting Bret with a clothesline lariat, mounting him and started to punch at him, Arn and Tully holding Bret up as Windham cracked the steel chair over his head, raising it up for the cope'degras and cracked it over the back of his head.
He would spit at him as DIllion handed him a mic.
"Chono, I know you're watching cause this Saturday you'll be defending MY United States Championship and I'm coming to take it back. This is what I did to Bret and I actually like him, imagine what I"m going to do to you this Saturday. I told you this wasn't over but soon, by my hands..it will be."
Windham would drop the mic and would proceed to get the hell out of there before the Canadian crowd went after their heads, Windham spitting at them and flipped them off heading to the back as medical staff went to check on the downed Bret as Monday Nitro would fade to black.
All*Star Wrestling.
The show began with that huge match up between Chris Benoit and Ultimo Dragon a match that stole the show without question carrying on for 16 minutes of just pure wrestling action, Ultimo going for his kick combination as Benoit caught one of the legs, locking him for the Sharpshooter but instead surprised him with a jacknife pin for the victory, making himself #1 Contender.
Second bout would feature the Legion of Doom hitting the ring hard and heavy as they squared off against Harlem Heat, a match that wasn't going to be pretty or last long, both sides hitting power moves right off the bat but LOD was able to score the win with a double team shoulder lariat to Big Stevie for the victory.
Third bout would see Gail Kim step into the ring against Natalya whom still had back issues but she was getting right in there against Kim whom proved that she perhaps was the measuring stick of any women's division, able to knock Natalya down with a climb up ensiguri then a snapping hurricanrana for the victory.
And in the Main Event it was the return of U.S. Champion Masahiro Chono against Tiger Mask IV and this was Main Event worthy indeed, both men hitting hard, fast, heavy and strong, Tiger on four occasions nearly had the belt won but in the end, Chono scored the victory with the Yakuza Kick. While Chono celebrated, Windham kept his promise and made his way down to the ring with a baseball bat, coming for Chono whom tackled him down, both men going right into a literal brawl.
Security was forced to stop this altercation before it escalated worse, Windham screaming Chono's head would be on a stick soon enough, wanting his title belt back, Chono fighting through security and would fight him up the ramp, Inoki having to come down to break it up and restore order, saying a rematch was in the works between these two, as All*Star Wrestling, came to a close.
We open up with Bobby Heenan and Vader in the ring ready for combat as Bobby was on the mic.
"Alright you Canadians settle down this isn't a hockey game.

The show began with the mixed tag match Bishoff had promised featuring Mercury and Melina against Savage and Liz and Randy ordered Liz to stay on the apron and nothing more as the bout began. What could you say but right out of the shoot Savage tore into Mercury not giving him room to gain ground, trying to end this quickly but Melina was able to cause distractions and break things up when needed giving Mercury a chance to turn things around in his favor.
Mercury drove Savage down with a hard with suplexs, lining up his shot and clocked him right in the jaw with a kick, blowing a kiss to Liz continuing to punish Savage, climbing the top rope mocking him with the flying elbow but missed, Randy coming alive and dropkicked him forcing him to tag in Melina whom got right up in Savage's face, he would pie face her down as Mercury tackled him to his corner, Savage accidentally tagging Liz in as Mercury pulled him to the outside as Liz was forced into the ring.
Melina would grin and pounced on her like a shark to blood, dragging her up by the hair as Liz surprised her with a hard slap over the face. Melina then caught her over the head with a spinkick knocking her out and went to finish her off as she was literally pulled to the outside by Savage whom saw that. Send for the man, fuck that send for security as Savage picked her up and flung her hard into Mercury then clotheslined them both, tossing Melina into the ring and climbed the top rope and came off with the flying elbow right on top of Melina, Mercury pulling her out promply after and left ringside with her post haste, Savage daring them back into the ring as the ref called the bout off, Savage and Liz winning by default, knowing this fued was far from over but tonight they had a moral victory.
A camera in the back moves over to Bishoff's office picking up audio of Gail Kim talking with Bishoff.
"I've already spoken with the wrestling commission and as much as I'd want to just hand title matches over, Del Rey already wrestled before you arrived, if you want I can make a match tonight and if you win you'll be considered as number one contender."
"Bishoff, there are some women that are extraordinary and then there's Gail Kim, my talents don't come cheap and I suggest if you want this division to be noticed, you do the right thing."
She would walk out of his office as through the window the camera caught Bishoff running his hands through his hair, knowing he was in quite a pickle as we move to the next bout of the night.

This match was actually happening as it was Vader against Misawa and both of these monsters met in the center of the ring as Bobby told Vader to take him and once the bell rung this fight was exactly that, a fight. Misawa and Vader would exchange powermoves, power punches and power offense that normally would break a normal man, Misawa not afraid to take it to the skies if needed but Vader on this night wasn't kidding around; catching Misawa off guard with a body avalanche then finished him off with a powerbomb.
Vader then moved to the top rope, coming off with not one, not two but three Vaderbombs to prove a point, covering Misawa for the victory. Vader would kick him out of the ring like trash and would flex his arms, Heenan getting on the mic.
"Another example of why this man should be World Heavyweight Champion, for five years he's been passed over and pushed under the rug and he's a prime athlete who's still in top physical condition. We know that hack John Morrison isn't here tonight cause if he was he would crawl on his hands and knees and beg for Vader to not crush him beneath him. Morrison, that title belt is going to belong to us and if we have to go through the whole roster to get to you we will. A real fighting champion would come down to this ring and accept-"
[Play Out Morrison.]
Morrison came down to the ring in street clothes but had the title belt over his shoulder, taking the mic from Heenan and got right in his face.
"Lets cut to the chase, you wanted me, here I am. Vader, you want a shot at my World Title and you think sending a bunch of people to the hospital is going to scare me? I beat three men two weeks ago and the last thing I'm scared of is a guy who just now is rising in the ranks when I've done it...twice. You want to curtain jerk with Heenan that's your choice, you want this Title...try and take it from me."
Morrison tossed the mic at Bobby while during the distraction Vader came in, Morrison ducking a punch and started to hit back at him, avoiding his haymakers and caught him with elbows and kicks, coming in for the Nitroblast but Vader blocked and took his head off with a clothesline. Vader would move him over to the corner as he came off with a hard Vaderbomb right over the ribs. He would walk over, picking up the World Title and just threw it at Morrison and let him lay there in the ring in pain, walking up the ramp with Bobby knowing they got his attention as Nitro cut to a break.
We came back as a camera caught a bit of commotion backstage between Cody and Dustin.
"No, the problem is I do all the work and you try to sneak on in like you own the ring and blow the match."
"Excuse me little brother but last time I checked, I hold the most experience of this team so try not to screw this up tonight."
He would walk off as Cody walked in the opposit direction as we moved back to the ring.

Gail Kim making her wrestling debut here tonight as she was up against Molly Holly whom got right in her face from the get go, using her roughneck strong style offense on her in the early going, however Kim was a finess wrestler and knew more than enough tricks to turn the tides in her favor, dropping her with Eat-Defeat, jacking her jaw and caught her for the pinfall. She rose with her hand in the air, rolling out of the ring heading up the ramp.
"Okay folks if you'll excuse me for a moment, Gail Kim if you could join me here on the interview stage, impressive win there, last week you made your presence known getting right int he face of our Women's Champion, obviously you have title aspirations."
"Figured that out for yourself didn't you? Sara Del Rey for three months has been going around telling the world she's the reason why women's pro wrestling is getting a face lift and claims she's the greatest product of this industry. There's a reason why I'm called the International Woman and that's because one company built an entire division around me and at one time I wasn't the pillar, I was the measuring stick. When this company signed me they knew whom they were getting. Del Rey, sooner or later you'll come to terms that you can't break the measuring stick, you can't topple the pillar and you can't beat...defeat."
She would slowly make her way off the stage, Kevin fixing his tie a bit as she made her way to the back, making one hell of a statement that she was coming for the championship belt and the Knock-Out made her new home official in the NWA.
Cameras move to the back as JJ Dillion was talking things over with Windham about his match later tonight, he was dead serious about fighting Bret in the Main event and nothing was going to stop him as we had to get back to the ring.

The Rhodes Brothers, reluctant against Demoliton and already they were arguing, now over the fact one of them was called out before the other during the introduction, giving Demolition an edge in this match as the Rhodes Family just broke down within itself, dispite getting in some good offense, the bickering refused to quit as Cody this time was the one whom left Dustin high and dry, Dusty trying to talk sense into him as Dustin was dropped with the Decapatator for the victory. Too late to put a stop to it now as Demolition were climbing the ranks and Cody didn't seem to care, Dustin leaving the ring and was hot going up the ramp.
"Well too bad for the Rhodes Family, still fueding with each other hopefully Dusty can get a handle on that, folks I have just been given one hell of a match card for this Saturday's All*Star Wrestling event as Chris Benoit will be squaring off against Ultimo Dragon whom on the road has defeated Billy Kidman, Kazarian, Sin Cara and Christopher Daniels while Benoit has toppled Shane Helms and Joey Mercury on the road, the winner will be declared #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Championshp.

The Pro Canadian crowd was behind Bret as Windham was ostrasized as Hitler in the ring, hearing the bell sound and away we went. Bret was not holding back, actually blasting Windham with haymakers, backbreakers, neckbreakers, headlock takedown and suplexes, going at a 100 miles an hour, Windham barely able to keep up as Bret bashed his head into the steel post three times.
Bret dragged him around the ringside area, slamming him into the announce table then bodyslammed him through it, fists of rapid fire busting Windham open as he tossed him into the ring. To say Bret was beating the shit out of him was an understatement, Bret refused to hold back and Windham was only able to turn the tides in his favor with a thumb to the eye, now starting to use that power offense against him, making sure to egg the canadian crowd on.
Hell during the match he stole a canadian flag from a crowd member and broke it over Bret's back then began to choke him with it. Windham would nearly incite a riot when he tossed Bret to the floor, plowing his nose into the flag and pushed a fan on his ass that got into his face, Bret tackling him through the crowd barrier and proceeded to destroy him.
Once back at ringside, Bret got a hold of a steel chair and tattooed it on Windham's back, hitting him with Bret Hart offense then dropped him in the center of the ring and would apply the sharpshooter. Bret wasn't kidding around tonight as he pulled back, snapping him right in half as Windham screamed out refusing to quit, biting his hand as Arn and Tully spilled into the ring, hitting Bret from behind.
They would start stomping and beating on him, using the steel chair and the tag belts to beat upon Canada's favorite son as Windham eventually rose, blasting Bret with a clothesline lariat, mounting him and started to punch at him, Arn and Tully holding Bret up as Windham cracked the steel chair over his head, raising it up for the cope'degras and cracked it over the back of his head.
He would spit at him as DIllion handed him a mic.
"Chono, I know you're watching cause this Saturday you'll be defending MY United States Championship and I'm coming to take it back. This is what I did to Bret and I actually like him, imagine what I"m going to do to you this Saturday. I told you this wasn't over but soon, by my hands..it will be."
Windham would drop the mic and would proceed to get the hell out of there before the Canadian crowd went after their heads, Windham spitting at them and flipped them off heading to the back as medical staff went to check on the downed Bret as Monday Nitro would fade to black.
All*Star Wrestling.
The show began with that huge match up between Chris Benoit and Ultimo Dragon a match that stole the show without question carrying on for 16 minutes of just pure wrestling action, Ultimo going for his kick combination as Benoit caught one of the legs, locking him for the Sharpshooter but instead surprised him with a jacknife pin for the victory, making himself #1 Contender.
Second bout would feature the Legion of Doom hitting the ring hard and heavy as they squared off against Harlem Heat, a match that wasn't going to be pretty or last long, both sides hitting power moves right off the bat but LOD was able to score the win with a double team shoulder lariat to Big Stevie for the victory.
Third bout would see Gail Kim step into the ring against Natalya whom still had back issues but she was getting right in there against Kim whom proved that she perhaps was the measuring stick of any women's division, able to knock Natalya down with a climb up ensiguri then a snapping hurricanrana for the victory.
And in the Main Event it was the return of U.S. Champion Masahiro Chono against Tiger Mask IV and this was Main Event worthy indeed, both men hitting hard, fast, heavy and strong, Tiger on four occasions nearly had the belt won but in the end, Chono scored the victory with the Yakuza Kick. While Chono celebrated, Windham kept his promise and made his way down to the ring with a baseball bat, coming for Chono whom tackled him down, both men going right into a literal brawl.
Security was forced to stop this altercation before it escalated worse, Windham screaming Chono's head would be on a stick soon enough, wanting his title belt back, Chono fighting through security and would fight him up the ramp, Inoki having to come down to break it up and restore order, saying a rematch was in the works between these two, as All*Star Wrestling, came to a close.
