Week 1
We open up with Eric Bishoff in the ring, standing proudly in the center of the ring, the fans not at all happy with him already as he had a mic in hand.
"Welcome to Monday Nitro folks I am Eric Bishoff and dispite your feelings over what happened last night there is one man that I am giving my attention to tonight. That person is one C.M. Punk the man whom last night told the world who his alliance is to. Well, tonight folks, I hate to inform you of this..but Mr. Phil Brooks is not here tonight. Now I ordered him last week to turn up here on Monday Nitro and he chose to go against my orders and hijack Clash of the Champions, since he has refused to turn up here and it's past 31 days without medical conditioning, C.M. Punk is officially in breech of contract. So, by the power, vested in me by the wrestling commission, C.M. Punk is officialy...released from the N.W.-"
[Play Out DM[
"Hold on a second Eric hold on, before you lower the gavel on that subject there is a bit of news that needs to be announced and that is C.M. Punk has been given a personal pardon for his entry into Wrestlemania so therefore there will be no firing here tonight. However there is something I need to discuss with you and over the last quarter of the year you've been somewhat...of a tyrant."
Bishoff held his hand up trying to suck up before he was finished.
"Hold on don't worry I'm going to give you a fair chance, over the next few weeks I personally am going to give you a personal review and if I feel you were in the right in firing John Morrison, the handling of certain business deals and disreguard for staff merit how you've been acting. So tell me Eric, what's the main event for tonight?"
Eric would look around some almost for an answer in the ring then stammered out.
"Oh I have a good one for you boss, it's the United States Champion Hayabusa defending against Karl Anderson."
"Alright..what else?"
"Uhm the tag team champions are going to be also defending their titles against..uhm..the Legion of Doom."
"Go on."
"And it's..it's Open Fight Night Tonight and in this very ring we're going to have both rosters here on the show, I promise you it's going to be grand."
"Very well Eric, lets step into your office and talk, ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro."
Both of them would walk off, Eric looking as if he was going to lose his job, telling one of his ring hands to be on his best behavior tonight as both of them would head to the back as we prepared for our first contest.
[Play Out]
Frankie Kazarian squaring off against La Sombra from New Japan, both of them going at it hard and heavy tonight, La Sombra sticking to the air while Frankie tried to use his strikes, trying to keep him grounded the best he would, raising him up for a Brainbuster but Sombra countered it right into a jaw jacker, rolling to his feet and nailed him with the headscissor Stunner covering for the victory. He rose up raising his arm, knowing he wanted another shot at Taka as he rolled out of the ring, Frankie running his hands through his hair wishing tonight he would have scored the big one.
[Play Out]
Lita sliding into the ring but her opponent for tonight saw Natalya, both of them locking up and battled it out, wanting a shot at Del Rey's title that was for sure, Natalya keeping grounded and tried wearing Lita out with submissions, Lita using her high flying to wear her down, trying for a Twist of Fate but Nattie blocked, dropping her with a powerslam and locked her in the sharpshooter. Nattie had it locked in perfectly, nodding her head as Lita reached for the ropes trying to break out when Nattie was knocked off by Serena whom started to punch the crap out of her.
The ref called for the bell as Serena was going crazy on Nattie, both of them going to the outside and started to slug it out, Lita breaking it up with a suicide dive as all three of them were going at it, officials coming down to break it up pulling them apart as Serena was screaming that title belt was hers for the taking, Nitro cutting to a break.
[Promo]
We came back with the Horsemen already in the ring and LOD making their way down, the Horsemen cutting them off on the floor and it was a literal brawl for all. Both teams just punching and kicking at each other, Hawk and Animal dragging them through the crowd literally turning this into a fight, the ref couldn't even ring the bell as it hadn't started yet, trying to maintain order as both teams would fight on.
They would battle to the concession area knocking over popcorn vendors, merch stands and the poor guy selling beer got his bottles taken away as Arn and Tully got their heads bashed in. It took some time before the Horsemen started to fight back but LOD tackled them through the main doors, now taking it to the streets, the poor camera guy had to follow them getting knocked over, Arn and Tully taking LOD out with a pair of trash cans and man hole covers, escaping into a car, actually throwing a guy out of his car and drove off like bandits, having enough for tonight and the dammed match didn't even get started hawk and animal cursing out and pushed the camera guy out of the way heading to Bishoff's office.
[Play Out]
Kenta against Vader, yeah this was happening that was for sure as both of them just had a shoot match, Kenta not afraid to hit and Vader not afraid to hit harder, using his size to slow him down. Vader had the full on advantage, dropping him with a bodyslam and climbed the rope, coming down with the Vaderbomb and connected, going for the cover.
[Play Out]
When Kane made his way down to the ring, entering as he and Vader would start battlig it out, Vader not forgetting about a few weeks ago, going for a clothesline but Kane picked him up and chokeslammed him down with ease. He whipped his head back, going for Kenta whom kicked him across the head then drilled him down with a Burning Hammer. Kenta wasn't going to be a victim it seemed but Kane sat up, going after him but Kenta already retreated from the ring, backing away slowly as Kane would grunt through his mask, almost seeming to shake in rage, exiting the ring and headed up the ramp but again, no Kevin Sullivan, anywhere on scene.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, reporting from the World Globe Tribune I am Gregory...Ace..reporting and my guest here tonight is the 'Future' Frankie Kazarian whom came up a bit short in his match against La Sombra, it's ashamed you're not a super hero or you could have easily defeted him."
"Look Shane, I don't know what, all this is about but I just lost a hard fought bout and you're here making fun of me."
"Shane who? Sugar Shane you mean? Oh I'm flattered you think I'm the best looking man alive but no I am Gregory Ace, War Correspondant trying to get word off of your match."
"Look, I know we've had some problems lately but this isn't helping when you want to talk to me like an adult come see me."
Frankie left the 'interview' area as Ace would signal to cut the feed turning away as he bumped into Prince Devitt.
"Don't you look ****ing adoreable. It's open fight night, I'm pissed off, get in the ring."
"Me? I'm just a simple War-"
"Get in the ****ing ring now before I beat you right here right now."
Ace would drop his mic and ran off, Devitt looking enraged over his loss last night as we move to the ring.
[Play Out]
Ace was in the ring, stumbling and fumbling around as Devitt made his way into the ring, Ace holding his hands up saying he wasn't a wrestler but Devitt had the ref ring the bell, charging at him and would start punching at him with heavy fists and elbows. He tossed him around the ring like a ragged doll almost, nailing him with a flying leg lariat, climbing the top rope and came off with a double foot curbstomp to the back of his skull.
The Bullet Club came down to watch Devitt like a criminal mastermind drop Ace with a brainbuster then a powerbomb, moving to the corner, pointing the gun at him and nailed him with the Silver Bullet, covering him for three. Devitt rose with a look on his face that could cut steel, slowly rising up and looked to his club whom slowly entered the ring, Devitt just saying 'finish it' and left the ring with Serena, the Club beating down Ace as if a gang fight, Gotoh and Koji dropping him with the Sunset Rider as Anderson and Bernard finished him off with a powerbomb neck breaker combination.
They would leave the ring leaving Ace to lay, the official calling out for help as Kazarian flew down to check on him, telling them to hurry up with the stretcher, Nitro having to cut to a break.
"Welcome back to Monday Nitro folks we're being told that Gregory Ace has been taken to a nearby hospital and Prince Devitt is being dealt with for his unsportsmen like actions here, he actually left the Nitrozone promptly after the incident, it's also come to my attention that The Legion of Doom will be in action next week for the Tag Team Titles against The Horsemen, that one is going to be explosive that's for sure [Play Out] oh wow look at this folks it's Dusty Rhodes lets take you to the ring."
"Ladies and gentlemen lend me your ears for just a moment. Last night a travesty fell upon the NWA as the World's Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and his Horsemen beat the daylights outta the man they call Sting. I was with him all night long as he was helped to the emergency room, concussion, bloody and beaten, the Stinger told me with his last breath that he was coming for revenge and he was comin' for Ric Flair. But until that day happens I am taking it upon myself to declare War upon the Horsemen on behalf of all the boys in the back-"
[Play out Richie.]
"Excuse me Dusty, before you rape the English language even futher, how about you shut your pie hole and get out of the ring before you stink up the place even futher. No no don't bother trying to make a retort cause even google can't translate what you'd try to say, so just get the hell out of the ring before I put you out of it."
"Such disrespect from a man who's father I have such respect for. Listen here boy, you're treading on hard ground, don't tread on me or the woodshed will be the last of your worries. I may be older but I can whoop your yuppie ass from New York all the way to L.A. baby, you try me and I'll drop you faster than Satan fallin' from heaven."
"Well, since you asked so nicely-"
He then kicked him between the legs and would attack Dusty, beating him down until Cody came down to the ring, Richie sliding out and would back away with a grin, Cody daring him into the ring for a fight but Richie shook his hand with a grin, backing away slowly, seeming to make a statement here tonight, heading to the back.
[Play Out]
Main Event time as Hayabusa was ready tonight having to defend against Karl Andeson whom just grinned at him, using his wrestling style against Busa whom had a hard time trying to overpower him. Even the unorthodox style wasn't working as Anderson seemed to have taken notes, tossing him around the ring and taking him down.
He would point to the outside and tossed him to the floor, getting the ref distracted while Giant Bernard put a beating on him before tossing him back into the ring, Anderson working him over and nearly scored the win with a stalling suplex. He yelled at the crowd, lining up his shot but made a mistake, Busa able to turn the tides around, now having Anderson on the ropes, catching him with a dropkick to the outside. He needed to regroup as Busa leapt over the rope crashing down on both of the, tossing him back into the ring, starting to work on him as Bernard hit the apron, distracting the ref as Anderson blasted Busa with a low blow following up with the Cutter, covering..only for two, real close on that one.
He moved him to the buckle, going to try for something else, raising him up on the top but Busa kicked him off, leaping over him and nailed him with a flapjack following by the Falcon Arrow for the victory.
Busa quickly rolled to the outside, Bernard charging in angry that Anderson didn't quite make it, kicking the rope as he started to back away, holding his title over his shoulder, almost smiling through his mask.
"A great win there for Hayabusa, defending that U.S. Title Proudly, right now lets take you to the back with Eric Bishoff whom has a very important announcement."
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, after spending the last two hours under review, it seems my job is still under review so while I'm trying to please the board, next week I am going to appease them and our core audience. The Legion of Doom will be facing off against The Horsemen, Hayabusa will be defending against Giant Bernard, in an interpromotional match it will be Dusty Rhodes against Richie Steamboat, Ric Flair will be in action and defending the World Title against Misawa and returning to the ring since Starrcade V will be Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. Now, lets see New Japan, top that."
New Japan War
Well Inoki was ready to compete tonight as the opening contest was Natalya against Serena once again however these two didn't even get out of the block, just having a mere brawl for five minutes until the refs pulled them apart, Serena yelling out that it was far from over.
Second match saw Ultimo Dragon stepping into the ring against Joseph Mercury whom was fired up in this match, almost scoring the win on a few times but in the end Dragon scored the win via Asai DDT.
Third match had Frankie Kazarian trying his best to get the win back against La Sombra, Tiger Mask IV and Eddie Guerrero, a fatal four way that saw all four of them come close to victory, Kazarian had it three times almost having it on Eddie when Tiger Mask mask had pinned Sombra a second earlier and got the win. Frankie again devistated left the ring holding his head.
Forth match had Lita going up against Tamina once again though the Warrior Princess wasn't playing around tonight, going for the kill early, missing the spear and fell victim to the Twist of Fate.
Trish Stratus was in action a match later having a ten minute wrestling match and scored a victory over Winter.
And in the Main Event it was Richie Steamboat squaring off againt Cody Rhodes whom wanted revenge from Nitro, both of them going at it for fifteen or so minutes, Rhodes hitting him with the Disaster Kick, Richie rolling out of the ring drawing Rhodes out and slammed him into the post causing a count out victory in his favor saying he couldn't wait until next week. As New Japan War, came to a clsoe.
Week 2
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro we have a jam packed show for you tonight, the US Title being defened as are the Tag Team Titles, an interpromotional bout, the World Title being defended and the return of Ricky The Dragon Steamboat...which is starting the show folks lets take you to the ring!"
[Play Out...and piss off fans]
"Where you all..expecting someone else tonight? Oh right, you were expecting my father to be down here in this ring right. Well, news flash..he's not here! Yeah I'm the one that sent the memo saying he would be here tonight just to show each and every one of you people even the morons watching on TV just how stupid you all are. See all this right here in this ring down that aisle even in the back is just a big, fat farse of lies and disappointment. Just like this guy sitting right here with his son screaming at me for being an asshole, hey little boy the only reason why you're here tonight is because it's his turn to have you this weekend because mommy and daddy got a divorce and he doesn't want to look like a bad father. Hey don't be mad at me, eventually that kid is going to grow up and realize the only reason why he's alive is because his mother chose not to swallow that night and instead of hitting the abort button they decided to have the little bastard. Oh look at this muscled guy here, trying to impress his girlfriend, hey, security, why not let him through and when I emasculate him here in the middle of the ring his girlfriend will finally dump his ass and go back to walking the streets where she found the tattooed bald headed alpha white male supremist. Hey we're in the south right, y'all like fried chicken, well this fat bitch over here in front row ate it all so boo her for escaping the plantation. Yeah who cares about what's going on at Monday Night Raw when you have Richie Steamboat insulting all you morons that actually think a man can recover from TWO back to back concussions in just a month's time, even you jackasses at home that want to sit around and watch a bunch of half naked men grapple each other like a gay pride parade because you're too lazy to make a life for yourselves, living vicariously through guys like us because your value in this world is about as less as this little boys mother choking on his father whom I'm sure is going to end up beating her at the end of the night. Which is exactly what I'm going to do to your American Dream Dusty Rhodes who's another living breathing liar because the American Dream that you once stood up for grew up, sold out and lied to an entire nation and became the degenerates of today. You want to know why society is so screwed up, just wait thirty seconds and you'll see why when I put that lard ass talking from both sides of his mouth American Dream who's so backwards it's no wonder one of his son's is a faggot and the other prances around in face paint. Come on Rhodes, we don't have all night and Monday Night Raw needs ratings."
[Play Out Dusty]
The crowd went Berserk as Dusty came down to the ring and literaly beat the living shit out of the young Steamboat, the ref letting it all slide as Dusty beat him from pillar to post, coast to coast and back again, even taking his cowboy belt off and whipped his body like raw hamburger. Hell if Richie was black you'd call it a hate crime.
Seven minutes into this ass kicking, Rhodes had him on his knees asking if he had enough, Steamboat would spit right in his face, pissing him off more as Dusty again continined to beat on him, Richie able to slide out of the ring having a small chase as he got a hold of a camera and bashed it over Dusty's head. He tossed him into the ring, got a steel chair and would beat Rhodes nearly to death with it, the ref obviously tossing the match out as Steamboat continued to beat on him until Dustin and Cody flew down to the ring.
Richie would exit with the chair in hand smeered in Dusty'd blood, emts coming down as Richie, had a mic.
"Yeah be fast and get him to the hospital before he dies and that fat chick decides to eat him. This has been another production of Richie Steamboat, the truth hurts..but not as much as I do."
He put the mic down and exited the arena, Cody and Dustin were livid over this as EMT's helped Dusty on a stretcher, Nitro after that was forced to take a break.
[Play Out]
Tag action here as it was Harlem Heat against the Bullet Club, Serena and Sherri barking out traffic and orders, Heat not afraid to take it to the Club here tonight, wanting to get back on that horse in tag competition but the Club were no push overs here, having to use quick tags to slow Heat down.
They were unable to capitalize in the later half as Big Stevie was putting the beating on them, Serena getting on the apron but Sherri pulled her down and those two went at it, it was insanity for a moment with all four men going at it in the ring, Serena able to slide it a lead pipe to Kojo who nailed Stevie with it, covering for the victory.
The Club stole the victory here tonight, heading up the ramp with a grin, Sherri actually being held back by Booker as she wanted Serena's head on a stick, The Club waving 'goodbye' to them heading to the back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I am Gregory...Ace, reporting from the World Globe Tribune and dispite my injuries from last week I am here to report that this Saturday on behalf of myself, Frankie Kazarian is going to be squaring off against Prince Devitt but right now my guest at this time the reigning U.S. Champion Hayabusa. Now Mr. Busa, you are a true super hero but tonight you have to face off against the Mighty Dastardly Giant Bernard from the Bullet Club whom I ran into last week, my question is, what super power are you going to use to fend off against him?"
Before Busa could answer, Giant Bernard came into view just towering over both of them.
"I'll answer that for him little man, last week you got lucky against my partner in crime, I won't be so easy I'm gonna crush you where you stand and bring that title to the Club and use your head as Shooting Practice."
He walked off as Busa spoke in his native tongue.
"Anata wa Fenikkusu o korosu koto wa dekimasen"
And then walked off as we went back to the ring.
[Play Out]
It was indeed that title match as Busa squared off against Giant Bernard whom lived up to his name being huge, large and in charge but Busa had that speed and had him guessing through the entire match but Bernard was able to slow him down, dropping him with heavy slams, proving his metal here tonight lining Busa up for the Giant Bomber, Busa sliding behind him, tripping him up through the ropes to the outside.
Busa then leapt over the ropes splashing down upon him but Bernard rammed him into the post, getting a bit cocky and charged in, ramming himself into the post, Busa rolling into the ring and scored the victory via count out. Bernard slid into the ring after him but Busa rolled to the outside, raising his belt up as Bernard kicked the rope knowing Devitt was going to be pissed.
We move to the back as there was a LOT of commotion, people were scattered around a person whom was laid completely out as it was Misawa, Ric Flair's opponent tonight whom just happened to be on scene. Bishoff ran over asking what the hell was going on but all they knew was someone took out Misawa and he was barely alive, Kenta then came on scene and tackled Flair to the wall, starting to beat the hell out of him as security broke them up, Bishoff getting between them.
"I really do NOT need this right now, Flair I'm holding you responsible for this attack, you ruined my Main Event, tonight you're getting Kenta."
"What!? Bullshit Eric I didn't (beep) a (beep) thing!"
"The match is on, Hey, didn't I tell you to keep these cameras out from back here, get the camera outta here, Get the-"
[Promo]
[Play Out]
Tag Team Title time and extra officials were called down for this one, The LOD and Horsemen, well what did you expect was going to happen here as these two teams had their classic rivalry reknewed here and just went to complete war here, Dillion was null and void in this one due to Precious Paul on the outside taking care of him, LOD taking care of business here tonight, nearly having the win, Arn able to turn the tables around, trying to score the win but a hot tag to Hawk put LOD back in the drivers seat, Animal recovering on the outside as Tully went after him on the floor when the Bullet Club made their way down and started beating on both of them.
Hawk and Arn went to the floor to help their teammates as it was total mayhem all over again but it got even worse when Harlem Heat flew down to attack the Club, the match was way tossed out as it got way out of hand fast, Windham coming down to help the Horsemen as it was freakin' pandamonium, Nitro having to cut to a break.
We came back and we had a camera over by the Horsemen's locker room, the camera picking up the vocals.
"What the hell is the Bullet Club and Harlem Heat doing in our match, and where the hell where you Flair during this whole thing?"
"Where Was I? I was getting yelled at by Bishoff for taking out Misawa and I didn't even touch him now I gotta face off against Kenta and he's extra pissed off."
"Hey whoa whoa guys guys relax relax we need to focus here calm down."
Dillion was the last one we heard when the feed was cut, we moved back to the ring.
[Play Out]
Semi Main Event here as it was another interpromotional bout featuring Randy Savage against Joseph Mercury whom was brash and cocky, having Melina do the work on Elizabeth, finding out fast that wasn't a smart route, only lasting seven minutes as the Macho Man dropped him with the flying elbow for the victory. Savage would head to the back with Liz as Melina was irate with Mercury whom just shoved her on her ass yelling at her that he was the meal ticket and she had better watch herself as we move to the back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I'm Kevin Kelly with the Road Report, Randy Savage whom we just saw was able to defeat Alberto Del Rio on the road along with also Mercury on Wednesday Night. Hart Dynasty were toppled by Demoliton, Prince Devitt had an awesome bout with Tiger Mask IV scoring the win, Michinoku defended successfully against La Sombra once again and the women's division is lighting up as Winter got a victory over Trish, Tamina over Lita, Manami Toyota over MsChif and in an upset, Molly Holly over Natalya, with me right now, current Women's Champion Sara Del Rey with an important announcement."
"Thanks, you know we are approaching my one year title reign as woman's champion and unlike some companies that have a flawed ranking system, I'm going to do the one thing no other woman has the balls to do. You find a ref, you find a ring, you challenge me, I'll defend it. Kong and Phoenix want to have a cage match...how about putting your belt on the line 24-7-365 and see how far you get. I'm putting the world on notice, Sara Del Rey is the wrestler of the century and if I have to break arms, legs and careers to do so..I will."
Del Rey walked off camera as we prepared for the Main Event.
[Play Out]
Flair knew he was fucked here against Kenta whom was still pissed off at him from earlier, going after him and just beat the hell out of him. Kenta not being gentle with Flair at all whom was just tossed all around the ring, not even to get out of the block and his chest was beat red from the chops and Flair flipped more times than a luchador kenta having total control in this bout until a low blow turned the tides around.
Flair began to put the beating on Kenta trying to end it early, well early enough but Kenta got a second wind, fighting back and rose Flair up, dropping him down with the Burning Hammer, ready to finish him off.
[Play Out]
Kane made his way down to the ring, Kenta was ready for him as he entered, the ref tossing the match out as Kenta and Kane went at it, Kenta having the upper hand dropping Kane with the Burning Hammer once again but Kane sat right up and slammed him with a chokeslam, wipping his head back and caught Flair whom was trying to escape and dropped him down with a tombstone.
He stood in the middle of the ring looking towards the crowd as a familar voice called out.
"Kane...Kane easy now. Ladies and Gentlemen, what you have seen for the last month or so has been an experience, call it a miracle if you will. For you see while some men practice their craft up north against a man whom claims he was in the UFC and other defend meaningless titles, Kane, has found enlightenment. For the first time in his existance he has found happiness, pure ecstacy as his pain and torture we burried and it comes now from the bowels of flesh, not from the joys of life and not from the admiration of peers, for he has finally broken the bonds, broken the chains of sin and has been expressing bliss in the only way he knows how. The sin which bore him now a distant memory for he now stands for the first time, free. If you simpltons do not understand..allow me to explain."
Sullivan would adjust the mic and would grin into the camera as the crimson light shone over the ring. He would bring the mic up to his lips almost seeming to glow in the ring...and moved the mic over towards Kane whom brought it slowly to his steel mask hiding that evil face.
"Paul...Bearer......is dead."
The flames rose higher that night from the stage, the ring, all over it seemed, Sullivan laughing manically as Kane just stood there in the ring, removing his iron mask revealing his red mask, evil eyes looking into the hard camera and a sickening grin traced over it, as Monday Nitro would fade..to black.
New Japan Pro
The show began with Frankie Kazarian having that match with Prince Devitt whom was seeking a bit of retribution, dispite his best efforts, Devitt was able to fend Kazarian off, beating him with the Silver Bullet for the victory, going to do more but Shane Helms flew down to the ring to protect him, Devitt moving to the back slowly, grinning.
Second match had seen Owen Hart battle it out against Eddie Guerrero in perhaps the match of the week here, both of them having a ten minute battle where Owen scored the win via wheel kick.
Third match saw Taka Michinoku defending the Unifed Championship against La Sombra once again. These two had a match that rivaled their second one, Sombra dropping him with the sunset flip stunner, going for the win when a well placed Flashkick knocked him out and scored the win.
Semi main had pitted Serena squaring off with Natalya for the third time, on this night however, Natalya got the win on Serena via sharp shooter.
And in the Main Event, Del Rey put her belt on the line against Molly Holly, the rough neck style of Molly got the best of Del Rey for a little while until she found herself tapping out to the Royal Butterfly, Del Rey loomed over her like a predator, raising her belt up as the show came to a close.

`The show opened up with Taka Michinoku defending the Jr. Weight Title Belts against Josepth Mercury whom was claiming he was winning those belts tonight, after seven minutes he was proved wrong being taken out with a FlashKick.
The Bullet Club had a rematch against The Legion of Doom whom were going to have their heads for screwing up their tag match twice in a row, as the match carried on it went to a no contest as both sides beat the hell out each other, officials coming down to slow this war down.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I am Gregory...Ace, reporting from the world globe tribune and tonight my guest at this time is the Future Frankie Kazarian whom two nights ago was able to win the Cruiserweight Invitational, my question to you is, do you think due to Devitt bumping into the ref, your win, was a fluke?"
"Look I thought we talked about this Shane, I know you're just playing a character or something, I really don't have time for this. The match of my life is coming up at Spring Stampede and I need to focus."
"But do you think it was a fluke?"
"Maybe I don't know, all I know is it's my turn and I don't need any distractions."
Kaz would walk off as we moved back to ringside as Hayabusa was defending the United States Championship against Mr. Perfect, these two battled it out for 11 minutes, Busa scoring the win via Falcon Arrow to retain. Barry Windham came down saying he wanted a shot at that title, Busa calling him down but he was jumped from behind by Hirooki Gotoh whom also wanted a shot, Windham heading down and a brawl ensued with Busa dropkicking both of them out of the ring standing tall.
Trish and Lita had a tag match together against Winter and Serena, the faces scored the win in the end as Lita said she was taking Del Rey at Spring Stampede.
We got exclusive footage from Indie Promotion Shimmer as Del Rey defended her title successfully against Bull Nakano.
Del Rio came on scene looking ready for some redemption as he went up against Owen Hart in an interpromotional bout, Del Rio able to score the win while hooking the tights for the victory.
Arn and Tully would defend their Tag Team Championships against Kenta and Misawa, least that was supposed to happen as Kane caught Kenta backstage and the two of them would brawl with Kenta tackling Kane through an office window, security breaking them up as the match never took place.
Ric Flair came on scene saying Vader did not win his match last week and didn't deserve a title shot when he was told the main event was the rematch and the Horsemen were banned.
Next match saw Richie Steamboat whom taunted the fans even more having the interpromtional bout against Dustin Rhodes whom wanted a bit of revenge for what he did to his father, Richie in the end was able to score the win putting his feet on the rope, mocking Dustin as he headed up the ramp.
Semi Main Event saw Prince Devitt almost storm to the ring having a match with Frankie Kazarian whom was putting his contendership on the line. Devitt said the win was a fluke and the ref was at fault and he was taking his win back, Devitt and Kaz having the match of the night for sure, Devitt turning for the Silver Bullet the ref moving out of the way but not fast enough, Kaz able to turn things around, Devitt hitting a low blow then the Silver Bullet as the ref disqualified him, Devitt not caring beating him with a chair, going for the finish as Taka came down to the ring, Devitt rolling away pointing at him saying he was reloading his chamber for him.
Main Event time as it was Flair vs. Vader, the rematch with no interference and this was a twenty minute classic, Flair barely able to get out of the block, actually trying to leave the match, Vader putting the beating on him, climbing the rope and came down with the Vaderbomb...and scored the victory.
He rose up victorious grabbing hold of the World Title Belt and dropped it over Flair's chest saying the result would be the same at Spring Stampede, The Horsemen coming down after Vader but then backed off when he threatened to destroy Flair, picking him up and tossed him on all three of them, proving his ring dominance as the show woudl fade to black.

Second bout saw Manami Toyota defeating Tamina.
Third match saw Kazarian seriously wanting revenge on Devitt but instead he got Richie Steamboat whom was brash and cocky, causing himself to get counted out, Kaz daring him back in the ring as Devitt blasted him over the back of the head with the Silver Bullet, giving a look to Richie whom gave him a look back.
Forth Bout saw Molly Holly fending off against MsChif but it was the Scream Queen whom was able to score the victory via Emerald Driver.
And in the Main Event Ultimo Dragon squared off against Chris Benoit, what a massive match this was, completely taking the show as Benoit upset the world defeating Ultimo via German Suplex.
Week 5 Go Home Show
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro. Tonight we are going to have a Special 3 Hour extraveganza as tonight it will be featuring talents from both NWA and NJPW as both sides will be going head to head tonight and also we are going to have the the new coming rookies against some of the veterans as well, but why don't we start tonight off with whom is going to be running this show as Eric Bishoff was released from his duties and the body, face and mind of NWA has completely changed. I have spent the last seven days scouring, listening to all sorts of men..and women and their ideas, concerns and proclomation on where they want to Lead Monday Nitro, NWA and how to compete with of course Mr. Inoki's New Japan Pro and the newly crisened Full Impact Division. Ladies and gentlemen please rise up for the new General manager of Monday Nitro."
[Play Out...]
"Well, this is a surprise if you ask me, Ladies and Gentlemen fresh from his world Tour The Iron Shiek, it's great to have you here Shiek but you're...not the general manager. Hey hey put the flag down easy big fella I'm sure we can talk about entering you in World War this year or something, anyway, Ladies and Gentlemen the New General Manager of Monday Nitro."
[Play out....]
"I've just gotta say Nitro fans that even though Eric is gone still, the Four Horsemen are going to rule this place because finally they understand what a true leader really is and when you manage four of the greatest wrestlers alive, even this man can see truth when it smacks him in the face."
"Yeah, sorry JJ but, I don't know what memo you got but you're not the GM either. Now, if we can stop wasting time, ladies and Gentlemen your New General Manager-
[Play Out]
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Nibo Zone! The premier athlete of the 22nd Century has arrived here tonight to entertain the Bo-lievers. Because if you Bo-lieve you can achieve and the Bo-dacious one is here. Hey is that the Iron Shiek? Is that my opponent for tonight? Well it kind of sounds Bo-ring but for all my fans here tonight I'm going to give you a show that you'll never forget because you're Savior Bo Dallas is here, wow you guys did a number on the nXt set."
"Okay, Mr. Dallas, you're que isn't until the two hour mark and before you put more of your foot in your mouth just go sit in the corner. Now, if we can please do this without any more interruptions. Ladies and Gentlemen...I hope...the new, General Manager of Monday Nitro."
[Play Out GM Finally]
Well it was Jesse' the Body Ventura whom was going to take official charge here, getting a hold of the mic as DM exited the ring not wanting to be in there much longer.
"Well while social media starts to buzz, the Body has taken over Monday Nitro. Out of all the applicants it became clear that someone with wrestling experience, political experience and someone who just won't put up with bulls*it needed to take over. My first proclomation here tonight is a warning to one C. M. Punk whom last week said if we or anyone wants him and his band of misfits on their show, they'll have to pony up the money. Well, this is Pro Wrestling and if you want to play politics you're screwing with the wrong guy, so until C. M. Punk decides that he wants to come back to work where he belongs and stops crying in his cornflakes you people will never see nor hear from him again until he decides to play Wrestler.
Now onto business, tonight we're going to have several matches that I personally have lined up for you this evening but also tonight I am going to make some matches for Spring Stampede, a rivalry that has been taking place over the last four weeks, at Spring Stampede it will be Kane vs. Kenta. Also the tag team championship and division has been heating up between four teams so therefore, at Spring Stampede we're going to have a Four Corners Elimination match featuring the Horsemen, Harlem Heat, The Bullet Club and the Legion of Doom. And right here tonight I am instituting an interpromotional battle royal with the winner to face Hayabusa for the United States Championship. Oh, and as far as the World Title goes between Vader and Flair on Sunday, the Horsemen and Dillion will be banned from ringside. Now lets get this show started-"
"Hey whoa whoa hold on a sec no need to get into the choppa and leave so soon, what about me your hottest commodity Bo Dallas?"
"You get the Iron Shiek and that match is now, ring the bell."
The bell sounded as Dallas did everything he could to get out of it feigning a leg cramp, stomach cramp and a headache, Shiek had enough and went after him but Dallas surprised him by slamming him into the buckle, locking him in a school boy hooking the tights for the victory. He rolled to the outside stopping to sign autographs..not that anyone wanted them, and headed up the ramp saying he was 1 and 0.
[Play Out]
NWA vs. NJPW here as it was Mr. Perfect squaring off against La Sombra, a mixmatch up here as both of them seemed to mesh well with Perfect able to score the victory via Perfectplex scoring the victory, smirking at the camera and headed to the back.
[Play Out]
Tag Team Action here as it was the LOD against the Horsemen and Ventura made sure no one was messing this match up as both sides went at it just like they always did, Dillion barking out orders from the floor as LOD had total control until a small assist from Barry Windham gave the Horsemen the chance they needed to steal this one, saying at Stampede it would be no different and all three teams would crumble at their feet.
[Play Out]
"Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to introduce myself I am the Prodigy C.J. Parker and here to remind all of you fans that at the end of tonights matches to please dispatch your paper cups, plastic forks and other biodegradable hazards in your nearest recycling bin, if you look around the arena those would be the blue bins and for the rednecks 'duh put it in the shiny blue ones.' Now my opponent tonight knows nothing of being a good conservationist and continues to rape the very land that he walks on. He is nothing more than a digusting over saturated beast of a man whom should spend more time in a shower than he does polluting all of you with his lack of wrestling skill and sweat and garbage. So bring him out here and watch how someone who's one with the environment deals with a polluter."
[Play Out]
Well, what did you expect, Vader came down to the ring and completely destroyed CJ Parker in a matter of 45 seconds, dropping him with a Vaderbomb and tossed him out of the ring, yelling into the camera Flair would be lucky if he went that long at Spring Stampede.
"Well folks we are just closing up the first out, NWA leads 2 to 0 here tonight but we still have big matches lined up for you including that Battle Royale as we take you into the 2nd Hour."
[Play Out]
John Morrison squaring off against Barry Windham whom was on everyone's shit list tonight and he had no problem putting a beating on Jomo but he wasn't going down without a fight, giving it right back to Windham but got his head taken off with a shoulder lariat. Windham would smile to the crowd, raising him up and went for the WidowMaker but Morrison ducked and nailed him with the Nitroblast and scored the victory. Windham was stunned at that one as Morrison proved his metal in New Japan scoring one for his team, Windham losing his shit as we prepared for the next contest.
[Play Out]
The Doctor of Funkanomics Professor 'X'avier against of all people Kevin Sullivan whom put on a pair of boots tonight and beat the youth out of him, but in a surprise the Funkmaster caught Sullivan off guard hitting him with Lost in the Woods and scored the victory. He rolled out of the ring and rather quickly knowing whom he was associated with [Play Out] or at least he was about to as Kane started to make his way down to the ring but Woods had escaped through the crowd, Sullivan keeping Kane calm saying it was okay and to just take it out on his opponent.
Kane was in the ring seeming to have a match as it was, waiting for his opponent. [Play Out]
"Ooh...haha yeah you guys actually thought it was going to be Ricky Steamboat huh? Did you all forget it's Brand vs Brand tonight? Ooh man you guys are so...well no you are that stupid. Kane, you're pissed off at Kenta so, I'm going to forfit for tonight, NWA takes this one."
What a rotten thing to do as Kane cocked his head to the side making it 3-2 by default, Kane not looking all that happy he wasn't able to fight, heading to the back, probably a good idea as we had to ready for the Battle Royale.
[Play Out]
The participants were Owen Hart, Shane Helms, Tiger Mask IV, Ultimo Dragon, Joey Mercury, Randy Savage, Hirooki Gotoh, Dustin Rhodes, Del Rio and somehow Bo Dallas got in there and the match was on. Bodies were going all over the place for a chance at the US Title, Busa watching on screen as one by one people were eliminated, Dallas being one of the finalists as he was tossed out of the ring, Del Rio charging in but was dumped over by Helms whom scored the victory. Helms just punched his ticket to Spring Stampede, grinning and said Sugar and Spice were going to be new champions by the end of the night next Sunday, heading to the back.
[Play Out]
Main Event Time as it was Bret Hart against Prince Devitt, both of them having a bit of history, Devitt not in the best of moods as he locked up with Bret whom just wore him down and dragged him around the ring, tossing Devitt to the outside a few times just to further piss him off. Devitt got angry as the Club came down but Devitt told them to stay in the back, Bret giving him a grand tour of the ring and then some, Devitt finally able to turn the tides around with a reversal now starting to put the heavy on him.
These two went to a commercial break twice, Bret now having the upper hand on Devitt, trying to sync in the Sharpshooter but Devitt kicked him free, going for the Silver Bullet but missed rolling to the floor, trying to get into a brawl with Bret, bad idea as Bret beat him down and tossed him into the ring, Devitt trying some high flying offense but was unable to catch a break, Bret taking full control, pointing the thumb down as Devitt kicked him in the ribs, retaking control back going for a stunner but Bret pushed him as the ref got bumped, Devitt cursing out, third time this happened to him as he was dropped by Hart.
Bret would shake the ref getting him to a vertical base, Bret going after Devitt whom tripped him up into the buckle, dropping him with a brainbuster and loaded the barrell, charging but missed as Bret pushed him to the buckle having him crotch it, going for a back suplex, Devitt flipping back and landed on his feet and nailed him...with the Silver Bullet...covering...for the victory.
The crowd was stunned on that one as Devitt slowly rose to his feet, having a grin from ear to ear, not only did New Japan win tonight but Devitt just beat Bret Hart, rolling out of the ring as the Club came down, lifting him up upon their shoulders like a King, Devitt firing bullets at a downed Bret saying soon, he would own the world.
"Holy crap folks, tonight New Japan gets the win from Devitt, why don't we go over the card for this Sunday's Spring Stampede, the 6 year Anniversary as we have The Four Corner Tag Team Championship Match featuring Harlem Heat, LOD, The Bullet Club and The Horsemen. Women's Championship on the line as Del Rey defends against Lita, Undisputed Jr. Weight Championship which will be recrisened post Stampede as Frankie Kazarian faces off against Taka Michinoku. United States Championship just announced tonight as 'Sugar' Shane Helms faces off against Hayabusa, the big grudge match of the evening folks Kenta Kobashi against Kane, and the World Heavyweight Championship Bout as Big Van Vader squares off against Ric Flair, it's going to explode folks that much I can tell you."
"Okay Ladies and Gentlemen I'm standing here with Nature Boy Ric Flair and The Man They Call Vader, I'm not going to waste anyone's time here, you two have been to the dance before, so please sign on the dotted line."
Flair almost shoved the belt in Dillion's face, signing his name on the bottom and tossed the pen at Vader whom would laugh at him, signing on the bottom, Flair getting a hold of a mic before Ventura could even sign on the bottom.
"Listen here fat boy, yeah I'm talking to you Vader, you think you're lucky that the Horsemen won't be in my corner this Sunday. Let me explain this to ya pal, it doesn't matter if it me, Windham, Arn or Tully, we'll beat you to death without help and at Spring Stampede you're going to find out why I'm a 17 time World Champion and why you're just a big fat loser. You always have, you always will be and you Ventura, get a long look at this face and this Championship because you'll never get rid of it. And this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You can screw me, put me in matches where it's 100 against 1 or work me in a 1000 man guantlet, this right here is the reason why I'm the best in the World, because I show up every night and prove it and anyone saying otherwise is a Ric Flair wantabe and this fat bastard is going to suffer the same fate that Sting did, that Morrison did, that C.M. Punk did that everyone has and forever will and there isn't a dammed thing you can do about it fat boy."
Vader then grabbed the mic from his hand, Flair tossing his jacket.
"You trying to convince me..or yourself? You've been ducking me for the last six years Flair and for good reason, because last week I proved I can beat you, and this Sunday without your three bitches and this (beep beep beep) over here can't protect you, not even God can save you in six days boy, don't deal with it..live with it."
Vader set the mic on the table and made to leave, Flair grabbing him and got right in his face, Vader shoving him as Flair went for a punch but Dillion got in the way telling him to save it for the fight, Flair nodding and would back off then charged at Vader whom picked him up and slammed him through the announce table. Dillion high tailing it out of the ring with the title belt praying Flair was okay, Vader just towering over him and said it was time to put Flair's reign to an end as Monday Nitro, Would fade to black.
New Japan War
The show opened up with CJ Parker going around almost as a sanitation worker collecting trash and putting them in recyclbles while also giving a lecture to fans about their wasteful ways.
First match opened up was Richie Steamboat against Eddie Guerrero and dispite Eddie doing his cheatful ways it was Richie whom caught him with a roll up for the victory.
Second bout would pit Natalya against Winter in a standard ten minute bout which saw Winter score the victory a la snapping DDT.
Third bout, after Parker came down to the ring claiming that the ring ropes weren't made from biodegradable twine and cables, saw John Morrison come down to fend him off, finishing Parker with a Nitroblast.
We got a video package of Sara Del Rey training for her bout with Lita saying at Stampede her neck, arm or leg would belong to her while Lita said post package that the Queen of Xtreme gets back on her throne.
Semi Main Event saw Prince Devitt whom walked in like he owned the place, reminding everyone he won it all on Monday Nitro but he had to battle it out againt Owen Hart, Devitt took his time during this bout, able to fend Owen off with the Silver Bullet for the victory.
And in the Main Event Ultimo Dragon and MsChif in mixed tag action against Joseph Mercury and Melina and while the 'evil duo' did the best they could, a combination Blue/Green mist in their faces gave MsChif and Dragon the victory.
The end of the show featured Taka Michinoku and all his bouts leading up to Spring Stampede and getting a small glimpse at the new Full Impact Championship Belt which would be presented to the winner as Frankie and Taka would shake hands knowing in just 24 hours, they'd be killing each other as New Japan War, came to a close.
We open up with Eric Bishoff in the ring, standing proudly in the center of the ring, the fans not at all happy with him already as he had a mic in hand.
"Welcome to Monday Nitro folks I am Eric Bishoff and dispite your feelings over what happened last night there is one man that I am giving my attention to tonight. That person is one C.M. Punk the man whom last night told the world who his alliance is to. Well, tonight folks, I hate to inform you of this..but Mr. Phil Brooks is not here tonight. Now I ordered him last week to turn up here on Monday Nitro and he chose to go against my orders and hijack Clash of the Champions, since he has refused to turn up here and it's past 31 days without medical conditioning, C.M. Punk is officially in breech of contract. So, by the power, vested in me by the wrestling commission, C.M. Punk is officialy...released from the N.W.-"
[Play Out DM[
"Hold on a second Eric hold on, before you lower the gavel on that subject there is a bit of news that needs to be announced and that is C.M. Punk has been given a personal pardon for his entry into Wrestlemania so therefore there will be no firing here tonight. However there is something I need to discuss with you and over the last quarter of the year you've been somewhat...of a tyrant."
Bishoff held his hand up trying to suck up before he was finished.
"Hold on don't worry I'm going to give you a fair chance, over the next few weeks I personally am going to give you a personal review and if I feel you were in the right in firing John Morrison, the handling of certain business deals and disreguard for staff merit how you've been acting. So tell me Eric, what's the main event for tonight?"
Eric would look around some almost for an answer in the ring then stammered out.
"Oh I have a good one for you boss, it's the United States Champion Hayabusa defending against Karl Anderson."
"Alright..what else?"
"Uhm the tag team champions are going to be also defending their titles against..uhm..the Legion of Doom."
"Go on."
"And it's..it's Open Fight Night Tonight and in this very ring we're going to have both rosters here on the show, I promise you it's going to be grand."
"Very well Eric, lets step into your office and talk, ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro."
Both of them would walk off, Eric looking as if he was going to lose his job, telling one of his ring hands to be on his best behavior tonight as both of them would head to the back as we prepared for our first contest.
[Play Out]
Frankie Kazarian squaring off against La Sombra from New Japan, both of them going at it hard and heavy tonight, La Sombra sticking to the air while Frankie tried to use his strikes, trying to keep him grounded the best he would, raising him up for a Brainbuster but Sombra countered it right into a jaw jacker, rolling to his feet and nailed him with the headscissor Stunner covering for the victory. He rose up raising his arm, knowing he wanted another shot at Taka as he rolled out of the ring, Frankie running his hands through his hair wishing tonight he would have scored the big one.
[Play Out]
Lita sliding into the ring but her opponent for tonight saw Natalya, both of them locking up and battled it out, wanting a shot at Del Rey's title that was for sure, Natalya keeping grounded and tried wearing Lita out with submissions, Lita using her high flying to wear her down, trying for a Twist of Fate but Nattie blocked, dropping her with a powerslam and locked her in the sharpshooter. Nattie had it locked in perfectly, nodding her head as Lita reached for the ropes trying to break out when Nattie was knocked off by Serena whom started to punch the crap out of her.
The ref called for the bell as Serena was going crazy on Nattie, both of them going to the outside and started to slug it out, Lita breaking it up with a suicide dive as all three of them were going at it, officials coming down to break it up pulling them apart as Serena was screaming that title belt was hers for the taking, Nitro cutting to a break.
[Promo]
We came back with the Horsemen already in the ring and LOD making their way down, the Horsemen cutting them off on the floor and it was a literal brawl for all. Both teams just punching and kicking at each other, Hawk and Animal dragging them through the crowd literally turning this into a fight, the ref couldn't even ring the bell as it hadn't started yet, trying to maintain order as both teams would fight on.
They would battle to the concession area knocking over popcorn vendors, merch stands and the poor guy selling beer got his bottles taken away as Arn and Tully got their heads bashed in. It took some time before the Horsemen started to fight back but LOD tackled them through the main doors, now taking it to the streets, the poor camera guy had to follow them getting knocked over, Arn and Tully taking LOD out with a pair of trash cans and man hole covers, escaping into a car, actually throwing a guy out of his car and drove off like bandits, having enough for tonight and the dammed match didn't even get started hawk and animal cursing out and pushed the camera guy out of the way heading to Bishoff's office.
[Play Out]
Kenta against Vader, yeah this was happening that was for sure as both of them just had a shoot match, Kenta not afraid to hit and Vader not afraid to hit harder, using his size to slow him down. Vader had the full on advantage, dropping him with a bodyslam and climbed the rope, coming down with the Vaderbomb and connected, going for the cover.
[Play Out]
When Kane made his way down to the ring, entering as he and Vader would start battlig it out, Vader not forgetting about a few weeks ago, going for a clothesline but Kane picked him up and chokeslammed him down with ease. He whipped his head back, going for Kenta whom kicked him across the head then drilled him down with a Burning Hammer. Kenta wasn't going to be a victim it seemed but Kane sat up, going after him but Kenta already retreated from the ring, backing away slowly as Kane would grunt through his mask, almost seeming to shake in rage, exiting the ring and headed up the ramp but again, no Kevin Sullivan, anywhere on scene.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, reporting from the World Globe Tribune I am Gregory...Ace..reporting and my guest here tonight is the 'Future' Frankie Kazarian whom came up a bit short in his match against La Sombra, it's ashamed you're not a super hero or you could have easily defeted him."
"Look Shane, I don't know what, all this is about but I just lost a hard fought bout and you're here making fun of me."
"Shane who? Sugar Shane you mean? Oh I'm flattered you think I'm the best looking man alive but no I am Gregory Ace, War Correspondant trying to get word off of your match."
"Look, I know we've had some problems lately but this isn't helping when you want to talk to me like an adult come see me."
Frankie left the 'interview' area as Ace would signal to cut the feed turning away as he bumped into Prince Devitt.
"Don't you look ****ing adoreable. It's open fight night, I'm pissed off, get in the ring."
"Me? I'm just a simple War-"
"Get in the ****ing ring now before I beat you right here right now."
Ace would drop his mic and ran off, Devitt looking enraged over his loss last night as we move to the ring.
[Play Out]
Ace was in the ring, stumbling and fumbling around as Devitt made his way into the ring, Ace holding his hands up saying he wasn't a wrestler but Devitt had the ref ring the bell, charging at him and would start punching at him with heavy fists and elbows. He tossed him around the ring like a ragged doll almost, nailing him with a flying leg lariat, climbing the top rope and came off with a double foot curbstomp to the back of his skull.
The Bullet Club came down to watch Devitt like a criminal mastermind drop Ace with a brainbuster then a powerbomb, moving to the corner, pointing the gun at him and nailed him with the Silver Bullet, covering him for three. Devitt rose with a look on his face that could cut steel, slowly rising up and looked to his club whom slowly entered the ring, Devitt just saying 'finish it' and left the ring with Serena, the Club beating down Ace as if a gang fight, Gotoh and Koji dropping him with the Sunset Rider as Anderson and Bernard finished him off with a powerbomb neck breaker combination.
They would leave the ring leaving Ace to lay, the official calling out for help as Kazarian flew down to check on him, telling them to hurry up with the stretcher, Nitro having to cut to a break.
"Welcome back to Monday Nitro folks we're being told that Gregory Ace has been taken to a nearby hospital and Prince Devitt is being dealt with for his unsportsmen like actions here, he actually left the Nitrozone promptly after the incident, it's also come to my attention that The Legion of Doom will be in action next week for the Tag Team Titles against The Horsemen, that one is going to be explosive that's for sure [Play Out] oh wow look at this folks it's Dusty Rhodes lets take you to the ring."
"Ladies and gentlemen lend me your ears for just a moment. Last night a travesty fell upon the NWA as the World's Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and his Horsemen beat the daylights outta the man they call Sting. I was with him all night long as he was helped to the emergency room, concussion, bloody and beaten, the Stinger told me with his last breath that he was coming for revenge and he was comin' for Ric Flair. But until that day happens I am taking it upon myself to declare War upon the Horsemen on behalf of all the boys in the back-"
[Play out Richie.]
"Excuse me Dusty, before you rape the English language even futher, how about you shut your pie hole and get out of the ring before you stink up the place even futher. No no don't bother trying to make a retort cause even google can't translate what you'd try to say, so just get the hell out of the ring before I put you out of it."
"Such disrespect from a man who's father I have such respect for. Listen here boy, you're treading on hard ground, don't tread on me or the woodshed will be the last of your worries. I may be older but I can whoop your yuppie ass from New York all the way to L.A. baby, you try me and I'll drop you faster than Satan fallin' from heaven."
"Well, since you asked so nicely-"
He then kicked him between the legs and would attack Dusty, beating him down until Cody came down to the ring, Richie sliding out and would back away with a grin, Cody daring him into the ring for a fight but Richie shook his hand with a grin, backing away slowly, seeming to make a statement here tonight, heading to the back.
[Play Out]
Main Event time as Hayabusa was ready tonight having to defend against Karl Andeson whom just grinned at him, using his wrestling style against Busa whom had a hard time trying to overpower him. Even the unorthodox style wasn't working as Anderson seemed to have taken notes, tossing him around the ring and taking him down.
He would point to the outside and tossed him to the floor, getting the ref distracted while Giant Bernard put a beating on him before tossing him back into the ring, Anderson working him over and nearly scored the win with a stalling suplex. He yelled at the crowd, lining up his shot but made a mistake, Busa able to turn the tides around, now having Anderson on the ropes, catching him with a dropkick to the outside. He needed to regroup as Busa leapt over the rope crashing down on both of the, tossing him back into the ring, starting to work on him as Bernard hit the apron, distracting the ref as Anderson blasted Busa with a low blow following up with the Cutter, covering..only for two, real close on that one.
He moved him to the buckle, going to try for something else, raising him up on the top but Busa kicked him off, leaping over him and nailed him with a flapjack following by the Falcon Arrow for the victory.
Busa quickly rolled to the outside, Bernard charging in angry that Anderson didn't quite make it, kicking the rope as he started to back away, holding his title over his shoulder, almost smiling through his mask.
"A great win there for Hayabusa, defending that U.S. Title Proudly, right now lets take you to the back with Eric Bishoff whom has a very important announcement."
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, after spending the last two hours under review, it seems my job is still under review so while I'm trying to please the board, next week I am going to appease them and our core audience. The Legion of Doom will be facing off against The Horsemen, Hayabusa will be defending against Giant Bernard, in an interpromotional match it will be Dusty Rhodes against Richie Steamboat, Ric Flair will be in action and defending the World Title against Misawa and returning to the ring since Starrcade V will be Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. Now, lets see New Japan, top that."
New Japan War
Well Inoki was ready to compete tonight as the opening contest was Natalya against Serena once again however these two didn't even get out of the block, just having a mere brawl for five minutes until the refs pulled them apart, Serena yelling out that it was far from over.
Second match saw Ultimo Dragon stepping into the ring against Joseph Mercury whom was fired up in this match, almost scoring the win on a few times but in the end Dragon scored the win via Asai DDT.
Third match had Frankie Kazarian trying his best to get the win back against La Sombra, Tiger Mask IV and Eddie Guerrero, a fatal four way that saw all four of them come close to victory, Kazarian had it three times almost having it on Eddie when Tiger Mask mask had pinned Sombra a second earlier and got the win. Frankie again devistated left the ring holding his head.
Forth match had Lita going up against Tamina once again though the Warrior Princess wasn't playing around tonight, going for the kill early, missing the spear and fell victim to the Twist of Fate.
Trish Stratus was in action a match later having a ten minute wrestling match and scored a victory over Winter.
And in the Main Event it was Richie Steamboat squaring off againt Cody Rhodes whom wanted revenge from Nitro, both of them going at it for fifteen or so minutes, Rhodes hitting him with the Disaster Kick, Richie rolling out of the ring drawing Rhodes out and slammed him into the post causing a count out victory in his favor saying he couldn't wait until next week. As New Japan War, came to a clsoe.
Week 2
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro we have a jam packed show for you tonight, the US Title being defened as are the Tag Team Titles, an interpromotional bout, the World Title being defended and the return of Ricky The Dragon Steamboat...which is starting the show folks lets take you to the ring!"
[Play Out...and piss off fans]
"Where you all..expecting someone else tonight? Oh right, you were expecting my father to be down here in this ring right. Well, news flash..he's not here! Yeah I'm the one that sent the memo saying he would be here tonight just to show each and every one of you people even the morons watching on TV just how stupid you all are. See all this right here in this ring down that aisle even in the back is just a big, fat farse of lies and disappointment. Just like this guy sitting right here with his son screaming at me for being an asshole, hey little boy the only reason why you're here tonight is because it's his turn to have you this weekend because mommy and daddy got a divorce and he doesn't want to look like a bad father. Hey don't be mad at me, eventually that kid is going to grow up and realize the only reason why he's alive is because his mother chose not to swallow that night and instead of hitting the abort button they decided to have the little bastard. Oh look at this muscled guy here, trying to impress his girlfriend, hey, security, why not let him through and when I emasculate him here in the middle of the ring his girlfriend will finally dump his ass and go back to walking the streets where she found the tattooed bald headed alpha white male supremist. Hey we're in the south right, y'all like fried chicken, well this fat bitch over here in front row ate it all so boo her for escaping the plantation. Yeah who cares about what's going on at Monday Night Raw when you have Richie Steamboat insulting all you morons that actually think a man can recover from TWO back to back concussions in just a month's time, even you jackasses at home that want to sit around and watch a bunch of half naked men grapple each other like a gay pride parade because you're too lazy to make a life for yourselves, living vicariously through guys like us because your value in this world is about as less as this little boys mother choking on his father whom I'm sure is going to end up beating her at the end of the night. Which is exactly what I'm going to do to your American Dream Dusty Rhodes who's another living breathing liar because the American Dream that you once stood up for grew up, sold out and lied to an entire nation and became the degenerates of today. You want to know why society is so screwed up, just wait thirty seconds and you'll see why when I put that lard ass talking from both sides of his mouth American Dream who's so backwards it's no wonder one of his son's is a faggot and the other prances around in face paint. Come on Rhodes, we don't have all night and Monday Night Raw needs ratings."
[Play Out Dusty]
The crowd went Berserk as Dusty came down to the ring and literaly beat the living shit out of the young Steamboat, the ref letting it all slide as Dusty beat him from pillar to post, coast to coast and back again, even taking his cowboy belt off and whipped his body like raw hamburger. Hell if Richie was black you'd call it a hate crime.
Seven minutes into this ass kicking, Rhodes had him on his knees asking if he had enough, Steamboat would spit right in his face, pissing him off more as Dusty again continined to beat on him, Richie able to slide out of the ring having a small chase as he got a hold of a camera and bashed it over Dusty's head. He tossed him into the ring, got a steel chair and would beat Rhodes nearly to death with it, the ref obviously tossing the match out as Steamboat continued to beat on him until Dustin and Cody flew down to the ring.
Richie would exit with the chair in hand smeered in Dusty'd blood, emts coming down as Richie, had a mic.
"Yeah be fast and get him to the hospital before he dies and that fat chick decides to eat him. This has been another production of Richie Steamboat, the truth hurts..but not as much as I do."
He put the mic down and exited the arena, Cody and Dustin were livid over this as EMT's helped Dusty on a stretcher, Nitro after that was forced to take a break.
[Play Out]
Tag action here as it was Harlem Heat against the Bullet Club, Serena and Sherri barking out traffic and orders, Heat not afraid to take it to the Club here tonight, wanting to get back on that horse in tag competition but the Club were no push overs here, having to use quick tags to slow Heat down.
They were unable to capitalize in the later half as Big Stevie was putting the beating on them, Serena getting on the apron but Sherri pulled her down and those two went at it, it was insanity for a moment with all four men going at it in the ring, Serena able to slide it a lead pipe to Kojo who nailed Stevie with it, covering for the victory.
The Club stole the victory here tonight, heading up the ramp with a grin, Sherri actually being held back by Booker as she wanted Serena's head on a stick, The Club waving 'goodbye' to them heading to the back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I am Gregory...Ace, reporting from the World Globe Tribune and dispite my injuries from last week I am here to report that this Saturday on behalf of myself, Frankie Kazarian is going to be squaring off against Prince Devitt but right now my guest at this time the reigning U.S. Champion Hayabusa. Now Mr. Busa, you are a true super hero but tonight you have to face off against the Mighty Dastardly Giant Bernard from the Bullet Club whom I ran into last week, my question is, what super power are you going to use to fend off against him?"
Before Busa could answer, Giant Bernard came into view just towering over both of them.
"I'll answer that for him little man, last week you got lucky against my partner in crime, I won't be so easy I'm gonna crush you where you stand and bring that title to the Club and use your head as Shooting Practice."
He walked off as Busa spoke in his native tongue.
"Anata wa Fenikkusu o korosu koto wa dekimasen"
And then walked off as we went back to the ring.
[Play Out]
It was indeed that title match as Busa squared off against Giant Bernard whom lived up to his name being huge, large and in charge but Busa had that speed and had him guessing through the entire match but Bernard was able to slow him down, dropping him with heavy slams, proving his metal here tonight lining Busa up for the Giant Bomber, Busa sliding behind him, tripping him up through the ropes to the outside.
Busa then leapt over the ropes splashing down upon him but Bernard rammed him into the post, getting a bit cocky and charged in, ramming himself into the post, Busa rolling into the ring and scored the victory via count out. Bernard slid into the ring after him but Busa rolled to the outside, raising his belt up as Bernard kicked the rope knowing Devitt was going to be pissed.
We move to the back as there was a LOT of commotion, people were scattered around a person whom was laid completely out as it was Misawa, Ric Flair's opponent tonight whom just happened to be on scene. Bishoff ran over asking what the hell was going on but all they knew was someone took out Misawa and he was barely alive, Kenta then came on scene and tackled Flair to the wall, starting to beat the hell out of him as security broke them up, Bishoff getting between them.
"I really do NOT need this right now, Flair I'm holding you responsible for this attack, you ruined my Main Event, tonight you're getting Kenta."
"What!? Bullshit Eric I didn't (beep) a (beep) thing!"
"The match is on, Hey, didn't I tell you to keep these cameras out from back here, get the camera outta here, Get the-"
[Promo]
[Play Out]
Tag Team Title time and extra officials were called down for this one, The LOD and Horsemen, well what did you expect was going to happen here as these two teams had their classic rivalry reknewed here and just went to complete war here, Dillion was null and void in this one due to Precious Paul on the outside taking care of him, LOD taking care of business here tonight, nearly having the win, Arn able to turn the tables around, trying to score the win but a hot tag to Hawk put LOD back in the drivers seat, Animal recovering on the outside as Tully went after him on the floor when the Bullet Club made their way down and started beating on both of them.
Hawk and Arn went to the floor to help their teammates as it was total mayhem all over again but it got even worse when Harlem Heat flew down to attack the Club, the match was way tossed out as it got way out of hand fast, Windham coming down to help the Horsemen as it was freakin' pandamonium, Nitro having to cut to a break.
We came back and we had a camera over by the Horsemen's locker room, the camera picking up the vocals.
"What the hell is the Bullet Club and Harlem Heat doing in our match, and where the hell where you Flair during this whole thing?"
"Where Was I? I was getting yelled at by Bishoff for taking out Misawa and I didn't even touch him now I gotta face off against Kenta and he's extra pissed off."
"Hey whoa whoa guys guys relax relax we need to focus here calm down."
Dillion was the last one we heard when the feed was cut, we moved back to the ring.
[Play Out]
Semi Main Event here as it was another interpromotional bout featuring Randy Savage against Joseph Mercury whom was brash and cocky, having Melina do the work on Elizabeth, finding out fast that wasn't a smart route, only lasting seven minutes as the Macho Man dropped him with the flying elbow for the victory. Savage would head to the back with Liz as Melina was irate with Mercury whom just shoved her on her ass yelling at her that he was the meal ticket and she had better watch herself as we move to the back.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I'm Kevin Kelly with the Road Report, Randy Savage whom we just saw was able to defeat Alberto Del Rio on the road along with also Mercury on Wednesday Night. Hart Dynasty were toppled by Demoliton, Prince Devitt had an awesome bout with Tiger Mask IV scoring the win, Michinoku defended successfully against La Sombra once again and the women's division is lighting up as Winter got a victory over Trish, Tamina over Lita, Manami Toyota over MsChif and in an upset, Molly Holly over Natalya, with me right now, current Women's Champion Sara Del Rey with an important announcement."
"Thanks, you know we are approaching my one year title reign as woman's champion and unlike some companies that have a flawed ranking system, I'm going to do the one thing no other woman has the balls to do. You find a ref, you find a ring, you challenge me, I'll defend it. Kong and Phoenix want to have a cage match...how about putting your belt on the line 24-7-365 and see how far you get. I'm putting the world on notice, Sara Del Rey is the wrestler of the century and if I have to break arms, legs and careers to do so..I will."
Del Rey walked off camera as we prepared for the Main Event.
[Play Out]
Flair knew he was fucked here against Kenta whom was still pissed off at him from earlier, going after him and just beat the hell out of him. Kenta not being gentle with Flair at all whom was just tossed all around the ring, not even to get out of the block and his chest was beat red from the chops and Flair flipped more times than a luchador kenta having total control in this bout until a low blow turned the tides around.
Flair began to put the beating on Kenta trying to end it early, well early enough but Kenta got a second wind, fighting back and rose Flair up, dropping him down with the Burning Hammer, ready to finish him off.
[Play Out]
Kane made his way down to the ring, Kenta was ready for him as he entered, the ref tossing the match out as Kenta and Kane went at it, Kenta having the upper hand dropping Kane with the Burning Hammer once again but Kane sat right up and slammed him with a chokeslam, wipping his head back and caught Flair whom was trying to escape and dropped him down with a tombstone.
He stood in the middle of the ring looking towards the crowd as a familar voice called out.
"Kane...Kane easy now. Ladies and Gentlemen, what you have seen for the last month or so has been an experience, call it a miracle if you will. For you see while some men practice their craft up north against a man whom claims he was in the UFC and other defend meaningless titles, Kane, has found enlightenment. For the first time in his existance he has found happiness, pure ecstacy as his pain and torture we burried and it comes now from the bowels of flesh, not from the joys of life and not from the admiration of peers, for he has finally broken the bonds, broken the chains of sin and has been expressing bliss in the only way he knows how. The sin which bore him now a distant memory for he now stands for the first time, free. If you simpltons do not understand..allow me to explain."
Sullivan would adjust the mic and would grin into the camera as the crimson light shone over the ring. He would bring the mic up to his lips almost seeming to glow in the ring...and moved the mic over towards Kane whom brought it slowly to his steel mask hiding that evil face.
"Paul...Bearer......is dead."
The flames rose higher that night from the stage, the ring, all over it seemed, Sullivan laughing manically as Kane just stood there in the ring, removing his iron mask revealing his red mask, evil eyes looking into the hard camera and a sickening grin traced over it, as Monday Nitro would fade..to black.
New Japan Pro
The show began with Frankie Kazarian having that match with Prince Devitt whom was seeking a bit of retribution, dispite his best efforts, Devitt was able to fend Kazarian off, beating him with the Silver Bullet for the victory, going to do more but Shane Helms flew down to the ring to protect him, Devitt moving to the back slowly, grinning.
Second match had seen Owen Hart battle it out against Eddie Guerrero in perhaps the match of the week here, both of them having a ten minute battle where Owen scored the win via wheel kick.
Third match saw Taka Michinoku defending the Unifed Championship against La Sombra once again. These two had a match that rivaled their second one, Sombra dropping him with the sunset flip stunner, going for the win when a well placed Flashkick knocked him out and scored the win.
Semi main had pitted Serena squaring off with Natalya for the third time, on this night however, Natalya got the win on Serena via sharp shooter.
And in the Main Event, Del Rey put her belt on the line against Molly Holly, the rough neck style of Molly got the best of Del Rey for a little while until she found herself tapping out to the Royal Butterfly, Del Rey loomed over her like a predator, raising her belt up as the show came to a close.

Ladies and gentlemen please rise up for the new General manager of Monday Nitro."
[Play Out...]
"Well, this is a surprise if you ask me, Ladies and Gentlemen fresh from his world Tour The Iron Shiek, it's great to have you here Shiek but you're...not the general manager. Hey hey put the flag down easy big fella I'm sure we can talk about entering you in World War this year or something, anyway, Ladies and Gentlemen the New General Manager of Monday Nitro."
[Play out....]
"I've just gotta say Nitro fans that even though Eric is gone still, the Four Horsemen are going to rule this place because finally they understand what a true leader really is and when you manage four of the greatest wrestlers alive, even this man can see truth when it smacks him in the face."
"Yeah, sorry JJ but, I don't know what memo you got but you're not the GM either. Now, if we can stop wasting time, ladies and Gentlemen your New General Manager-
[Play Out]
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Nibo Zone! The premier athlete of the 22nd Century has arrived here tonight to entertain the Bo-lievers. Because if you Bo-lieve you can achieve and the Bo-dacious one is here. Hey is that the Iron Shiek? Is that my opponent for tonight?

[Play Out GM Finally]
Well it was Jesse' the Body Ventura whom was going to take official charge here, getting a hold of the mic as DM exited the ring not wanting to be in there much longer.
"Well while social media starts to buzz, the Body has taken over Monday Nitro. Out of all the applicants it became clear that someone with wrestling experience, political experience and someone who just won't put up with bulls*it needed to take over. My first proclomation here tonight is a warning to one C. M. Punk whom last week said if we or anyone wants him and his band of misfits on their show, they'll have to pony up the money. Well, this is Pro Wrestling and if you want to play politics you're screwing with the wrong guy, so until C. M. Punk decides that he wants to come back to work where he belongs and stops crying in his cornflakes you people will never see nor hear from him again until he decides to play Wrestler.
Now onto business, tonight we're going to have several matches that I personally have lined up for you this evening but also tonight I am going to make some matches for Spring Stampede, a rivalry that has been taking place over the last four weeks, at Spring Stampede it will be Kane vs. Kenta. Also the tag team championship and division has been heating up between four teams so therefore, at Spring Stampede we're going to have a Four Corners Elimination match featuring the Horsemen, Harlem Heat, The Bullet Club and the Legion of Doom. And right here tonight I am instituting an interpromotional battle royal with the winner to face Hayabusa for the United States Championship. Oh, and as far as the World Title goes between Vader and Flair on Sunday, the Horsemen and Dillion will be banned from ringside. Now lets get this show started-"
"Hey whoa whoa hold on a sec no need to get into the choppa and leave so soon, what about me your hottest commodity Bo Dallas?"
"You get the Iron Shiek and that match is now, ring the bell."
The bell sounded as Dallas did everything he could to get out of it feigning a leg cramp, stomach cramp and a headache, Shiek had enough and went after him but Dallas surprised him by slamming him into the buckle, locking him in a school boy hooking the tights for the victory. He rolled to the outside stopping to sign autographs..not that anyone wanted them, and headed up the ramp saying he was 1 and 0.
[Play Out]
NWA vs. NJPW here as it was Mr. Perfect squaring off against La Sombra, a mixmatch up here as both of them seemed to mesh well with Perfect able to score the victory via Perfectplex scoring the victory, smirking at the camera and headed to the back.
[Play Out]
Tag Team Action here as it was the LOD against the Horsemen and Ventura made sure no one was messing this match up as both sides went at it just like they always did, Dillion barking out orders from the floor as LOD had total control until a small assist from Barry Windham gave the Horsemen the chance they needed to steal this one, saying at Stampede it would be no different and all three teams would crumble at their feet.
[Play Out]
"Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to introduce myself I am the Prodigy C.J. Parker and here to remind all of you fans that at the end of tonights matches to please dispatch your paper cups, plastic forks and other biodegradable hazards in your nearest recycling bin, if you look around the arena those would be the blue bins and for the rednecks 'duh put it in the shiny blue ones.' Now my opponent tonight knows nothing of being a good conservationist and continues to rape the very land that he walks on. He is nothing more than a digusting over saturated beast of a man whom should spend more time in a shower than he does polluting all of you with his lack of wrestling skill and sweat and garbage. So bring him out here and watch how someone who's one with the environment deals with a polluter."
[Play Out]
Well, what did you expect, Vader came down to the ring and completely destroyed CJ Parker in a matter of 45 seconds, dropping him with a Vaderbomb and tossed him out of the ring, yelling into the camera Flair would be lucky if he went that long at Spring Stampede.
"Well folks we are just closing up the first out, NWA leads 2 to 0 here tonight but we still have big matches lined up for you including that Battle Royale as we take you into the 2nd Hour."
[Play Out]
John Morrison squaring off against Barry Windham whom was on everyone's shit list tonight and he had no problem putting a beating on Jomo but he wasn't going down without a fight, giving it right back to Windham but got his head taken off with a shoulder lariat. Windham would smile to the crowd, raising him up and went for the WidowMaker but Morrison ducked and nailed him with the Nitroblast and scored the victory. Windham was stunned at that one as Morrison proved his metal in New Japan scoring one for his team, Windham losing his shit as we prepared for the next contest.
[Play Out]
The Doctor of Funkanomics Professor 'X'avier against of all people Kevin Sullivan whom put on a pair of boots tonight and beat the youth out of him, but in a surprise the Funkmaster caught Sullivan off guard hitting him with Lost in the Woods and scored the victory. He rolled out of the ring and rather quickly knowing whom he was associated with [Play Out] or at least he was about to as Kane started to make his way down to the ring but Woods had escaped through the crowd, Sullivan keeping Kane calm saying it was okay and to just take it out on his opponent.
Kane was in the ring seeming to have a match as it was, waiting for his opponent. [Play Out]
"Ooh...haha yeah you guys actually thought it was going to be Ricky Steamboat huh? Did you all forget it's Brand vs Brand tonight? Ooh man you guys are so...well no you are that stupid. Kane, you're pissed off at Kenta so, I'm going to forfit for tonight, NWA takes this one."
What a rotten thing to do as Kane cocked his head to the side making it 3-2 by default, Kane not looking all that happy he wasn't able to fight, heading to the back, probably a good idea as we had to ready for the Battle Royale.

The participants were Owen Hart, Shane Helms, Tiger Mask IV, Ultimo Dragon, Joey Mercury, Randy Savage, Hirooki Gotoh, Dustin Rhodes, Del Rio and somehow Bo Dallas got in there and the match was on. Bodies were going all over the place for a chance at the US Title, Busa watching on screen as one by one people were eliminated, Dallas being one of the finalists as he was tossed out of the ring, Del Rio charging in but was dumped over by Helms whom scored the victory. Helms just punched his ticket to Spring Stampede, grinning and said Sugar and Spice were going to be new champions by the end of the night next Sunday, heading to the back.

Main Event Time as it was Bret Hart against Prince Devitt, both of them having a bit of history, Devitt not in the best of moods as he locked up with Bret whom just wore him down and dragged him around the ring, tossing Devitt to the outside a few times just to further piss him off. Devitt got angry as the Club came down but Devitt told them to stay in the back, Bret giving him a grand tour of the ring and then some, Devitt finally able to turn the tides around with a reversal now starting to put the heavy on him.
These two went to a commercial break twice, Bret now having the upper hand on Devitt, trying to sync in the Sharpshooter but Devitt kicked him free, going for the Silver Bullet but missed rolling to the floor, trying to get into a brawl with Bret, bad idea as Bret beat him down and tossed him into the ring, Devitt trying some high flying offense but was unable to catch a break, Bret taking full control, pointing the thumb down as Devitt kicked him in the ribs, retaking control back going for a stunner but Bret pushed him as the ref got bumped, Devitt cursing out, third time this happened to him as he was dropped by Hart.
Bret would shake the ref getting him to a vertical base, Bret going after Devitt whom tripped him up into the buckle, dropping him with a brainbuster and loaded the barrell, charging but missed as Bret pushed him to the buckle having him crotch it, going for a back suplex, Devitt flipping back and landed on his feet and nailed him...with the Silver Bullet...covering...for the victory.
The crowd was stunned on that one as Devitt slowly rose to his feet, having a grin from ear to ear, not only did New Japan win tonight but Devitt just beat Bret Hart, rolling out of the ring as the Club came down, lifting him up upon their shoulders like a King, Devitt firing bullets at a downed Bret saying soon, he would own the world.
"Holy crap folks, tonight New Japan gets the win from Devitt, why don't we go over the card for this Sunday's Spring Stampede, the 6 year Anniversary as we have The Four Corner Tag Team Championship Match featuring Harlem Heat, LOD, The Bullet Club and The Horsemen. Women's Championship on the line as Del Rey defends against Lita, Undisputed Jr. Weight Championship which will be recrisened post Stampede as Frankie Kazarian faces off against Taka Michinoku. United States Championship just announced tonight as 'Sugar' Shane Helms faces off against Hayabusa, the big grudge match of the evening folks Kenta Kobashi against Kane, and the World Heavyweight Championship Bout as Big Van Vader squares off against Ric Flair, it's going to explode folks that much I can tell you."
"Okay Ladies and Gentlemen I'm standing here with Nature Boy Ric Flair and The Man They Call Vader, I'm not going to waste anyone's time here, you two have been to the dance before, so please sign on the dotted line."
Flair almost shoved the belt in Dillion's face, signing his name on the bottom and tossed the pen at Vader whom would laugh at him, signing on the bottom, Flair getting a hold of a mic before Ventura could even sign on the bottom.
"Listen here fat boy, yeah I'm talking to you Vader, you think you're lucky that the Horsemen won't be in my corner this Sunday. Let me explain this to ya pal, it doesn't matter if it me, Windham, Arn or Tully, we'll beat you to death without help and at Spring Stampede you're going to find out why I'm a 17 time World Champion and why you're just a big fat loser. You always have, you always will be and you Ventura, get a long look at this face and this Championship because you'll never get rid of it. And this is as close as you'll ever get to it. You can screw me, put me in matches where it's 100 against 1 or work me in a 1000 man guantlet, this right here is the reason why I'm the best in the World, because I show up every night and prove it and anyone saying otherwise is a Ric Flair wantabe and this fat bastard is going to suffer the same fate that Sting did, that Morrison did, that C.M. Punk did that everyone has and forever will and there isn't a dammed thing you can do about it fat boy."
Vader then grabbed the mic from his hand, Flair tossing his jacket.
"You trying to convince me..or yourself? You've been ducking me for the last six years Flair and for good reason, because last week I proved I can beat you, and this Sunday without your three bitches and this (beep beep beep) over here can't protect you, not even God can save you in six days boy, don't deal with it..live with it."
Vader set the mic on the table and made to leave, Flair grabbing him and got right in his face, Vader shoving him as Flair went for a punch but Dillion got in the way telling him to save it for the fight, Flair nodding and would back off then charged at Vader whom picked him up and slammed him through the announce table. Dillion high tailing it out of the ring with the title belt praying Flair was okay, Vader just towering over him and said it was time to put Flair's reign to an end as Monday Nitro, Would fade to black.
New Japan War
The show opened up with CJ Parker going around almost as a sanitation worker collecting trash and putting them in recyclbles while also giving a lecture to fans about their wasteful ways.
First match opened up was Richie Steamboat against Eddie Guerrero and dispite Eddie doing his cheatful ways it was Richie whom caught him with a roll up for the victory.
Second bout would pit Natalya against Winter in a standard ten minute bout which saw Winter score the victory a la snapping DDT.
Third bout, after Parker came down to the ring claiming that the ring ropes weren't made from biodegradable twine and cables, saw John Morrison come down to fend him off, finishing Parker with a Nitroblast.
We got a video package of Sara Del Rey training for her bout with Lita saying at Stampede her neck, arm or leg would belong to her while Lita said post package that the Queen of Xtreme gets back on her throne.
Semi Main Event saw Prince Devitt whom walked in like he owned the place, reminding everyone he won it all on Monday Nitro but he had to battle it out againt Owen Hart, Devitt took his time during this bout, able to fend Owen off with the Silver Bullet for the victory.
And in the Main Event Ultimo Dragon and MsChif in mixed tag action against Joseph Mercury and Melina and while the 'evil duo' did the best they could, a combination Blue/Green mist in their faces gave MsChif and Dragon the victory.
The end of the show featured Taka Michinoku and all his bouts leading up to Spring Stampede and getting a small glimpse at the new Full Impact Championship Belt which would be presented to the winner as Frankie and Taka would shake hands knowing in just 24 hours, they'd be killing each other as New Japan War, came to a close.
