June 2002 TV

At this, "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park hits, and Raven walks to the aisle. He stands arms outstretched crucifix style with the title belt in one hand. He walks down to the ring where Heenan is waiting.

Bam Bam taunts TMIV, and then the Kai En Tai theme hits. Kai En Tai hit the ring, and send BBB packing. Bam Bam wonders up the aisle with a maniacle smile on his face.

We see backstage. In the parking lot, Tiger Mask IV is eing put in an ambulance. Muta in particular looks pissed off, and starts to beat up a trash can. The other members calm him down.

MF=That may be the case, and it may make keeping the belts easier but...ha...it does make keeping the belts easier...OK, just go Bam Bam. We'll hear no more of this, and you will not do it again.

post match, Muta celebrates and calls out the rest of Kai En Tai. They all come out and proceed to beat on Al Snow. Then, Linkin Park' "A Place For My Head" hits and Raven walks down to the ring.

At that point, Raven begins to speed up, and runs down the rest of the aisle and slides into the ring. He takes care of TAKA, Sho, and Ohtani with some quick right hands. Kaz gets drop kicked over the top, and Togo takes an Evenflow. Terry Boy gets clotheslined over the top. That just leaves Raven, Muta and the Fallen Al. After a stare down, Raven picks up Al and...gives him an Evenflow DDT!

JL=Tonight, we promise you we will do our best to fins out what is happening between Raven, Muta and Al Snow. And some more good news too. Tiger Mask IV has been cleared to appear tonight!

RV=They say that life, is not as it seems. So we fill our heads, with pointless dreams. We always lose, that result we cannot change. So why do we play, this pointless game? Some of you see me as the hero who will keep Kai En Tai away from the world title. Others see me as the bad guy for what I did to Al Snow. Al Snow had the dream of finally getting a world title. He made it, but then I shattered that dream. Twice. You see Al, you always lose, and you could never change that. As for Muta...Kai En Tai have the dream of taking over this federation. Muta...you will not get as far as Al Snow did. Both of you will always end up on the losing side. So...why still play a game you cannot win? Quote The Raven...Nevermore.

JR=What...err...sorry King, I just got word from Mick Foley that not only has Bam Bam Bigelow been put in an ambulance, but tonights main event is Muta and Ohtani vs Raven and Al Snow!

MM=The Natural One is tired of being held back wherever he goes. Now, The Jackly Pack has given me my chance, and we will all take it. We want to make a challnge to the BWO for the six man tag titles!

BB=That's right! The Cruiser King 2001 has ditched his worthless brother and the worlds worst poet, and now he's with the real talent. Can't you see? We are the best damn stable here, and we want OUR belts!

HH=You know, the Super Heavyweight Big Shot has now beaten two of the most hardcore people in the NCPW. On Mayhem, I face Test. If I win...I get a shot at Atsushi Onita's title belt. Onita...I will beat Test, and then i'm coming for you. Can you handle me? I'm the most hardcore SOB here. So what do you think of me now?

T4=HAHAHA! Early in this show, I took Bam Bam Bigelow and got my revenge on him for what he did to me on Monday. I'm not at 100% and I still got the best of him, so how the hell is he supposed to beat me when i'm back to 100%? Bam Bam...when you put me through that table, you were smiling. You were laughing. Were you laughing when I put you through them three tables tonight? I know I was! HAHAHAHA!

TMIV turns around and gets hit with a Greetings From Asbury Park! BBB then throws him over the top rope onto the announce table. He leaves the ring and picks up TMIV and powerbombs him through the announce table! BBB is smiling as he leaves through the crowd.

TAKA and Sho then run in without any entrance music to warn Zero-G. They try to hit the former champs with the tag titles, but have them dropkicked back into their own faces. As they bail out of the ring, "Phase Two" Jonny Storm runs down the aisle and dropkicks them both! Kai En Tai scarper. Jonny Storm enters the ring and all three of Zero-G celbrate. The crowd are beginning to cheer them.

Al Snow and Raven had been arguing all match, and they continued to argue here. Words turn to shoves turn to blows. They both lay into each other heavily, and Muta gives both a Mist to the side of the head. Both fall about covering their eyes. As Muta goes up top though, both guys get up, and Muta ends up being pulled down and hit with an Evenflow DDT. Al then hits a springboards leg drop. Muta had missed both wrestlers' eyes! Al turns around, and Raven hits an Evenflow DDT on him too! Raven leaves to another mixed reaction.

EG=When I came here tonight, I knew this place was a dirty, filthy, rotting hell hole, but I could not have forseen what would happen when we entered this city.

MM=You see, being the hot day it is, we decided to get a can of cola, and a burger. It seems that the pest control men haven't been to this city though. When our good buudy Beau here took a burger, and bit into it...

BS=You may be right that my BWO associates are not here tonight Eddie, but they did leave a message for you. Your challenge is accepted! They told me to tell you that at OVERDRIVE, the BWO Blue and White will indeed meet and defeat The Jackyl Pack!

HH=I came here tonight, and did exactly what I said i'd do! I came here and earned my title shot at OVERDRIVE! Atsushi Onita, you may be the Godfather of Hardcore, but I am The Superheavyweight Big Shot! At OVERDRIVE,I'm gonna take you on in the barbed wire and take your damn belt too! So...how do you like me now?

RV=So now at OVERDRIVE, I face The Great Muta. I am the NCPW hope for OVERDRIVE, so why are some of you booing me? I am fighting for this damn company, and you still boo me? I may take out people you have learnt to respect...like Al Snow...Hardcore Holly...Al Snow...HHH...AL SNOW! I may take them out, i'm only doing it because while I fight for this company, my only alliance is with myself! I hear that Al Snow thinks he can beat me one on one too...well Al, tonight, you've got me in a non-title match. Lets see what you've got!

post match, Kanemote celebrates with his belt, and Ohtani looks stunned. When he realises what's just happened, he lunges at Koji, and launches a brutal assault of kicks. Kanemoto fights back though and sends Ohtani reeling.

MF=Now, I can't just change the top contenders just like that. I'll tell you what though. You face Kai En Tai on Thursday Fireball, and if you last more than 10 minutes, then i'll add you to the tag title match. I wanted to make an announcement about that on Thursday anyway.

YN=I said that I would get my revenge on Kaz Hayashi for turning on me like he did. Well, at OVERDRIVE, I get that chance. You see, i've been talking our Kai En Tai hating commissioner. At OVERDRIVE, he's agreed to give me a one shot deal at Kaz Hayashi. I have you Kaz in a no disqualifications match! Oh yeah, and if any of your Kai En Tai friends think it wise to interfere...then they will be forcefully ejected from the arena, and all Kai En Tai members will automatically lose their matches later in the card. It's Yang Time

MF=Innovators, I said that for you to be added to the OVERDRIVE match, you would have to last over 10 minutes. You lasted...just over 15! Your going to OVERDRIVE! Now, I said I had another announcement regarding this match...at OVERDRIVE, we now have Kai En Tai vs Zero-G vs The Innovators...IN A LADDER MATCH! Have a nice day!

AS=You know Scott...the history between you and me goes all the way back to the very first NCPW card. After over a year of what must be the best damn feud in wrestling history, you and me finally finished it...or so I thought. Now, I can handle you taking my belt on PPV, but then you took me out. You came in the ring, and instead of doing what is best for the damn company that you hold the belt for, you planted me with the DDT. Well Scott, this isn't over between us. You and Tommy Dreamer feuded for over two years. We've only just started our second year. Can you last as long with me as you did with Dreamer? Can you handle Simply Sensational? Raven, I wont interfere with you and Bob Holyy's match tonight, but when the match is over, you and me still have some unfinished business!

post match, Tiger Mask IV and Bam Bam continue to fight, until BBB hits a powerbomb and sets a table up outside the ring. He prepares to pick TMIV up in the ring when Foley runs in. They stop brawling.

MF=WAIT ONE DAMN MINUTE! Now Bam Bam, you promised me you would not put Tiger Mask IV through another damn table, and if you put him through that damn table now, I will not only strip you of the title, but i'll fire you too!

Bam Bam puts TMIV down. He stares at Foley as if to say "What now?" Tiger Mask IV meanwhile has gotten up and hits a hard jumping spin kick to Bam Bam Bigelow's jaw, sending him over the ropes and through the table. Foley looks on in amazement at the celebrating TMIV, then plants him with a Double-Arm DDT. He grabs the mic again and stands over TMIV.

MF=You two just don't listen, do you? Well, you like putting each other through tables so much? At OVERDRIVE, you can face each other in a 2/3 Falls Table match!

post match sees Raven celebrate with his belt. Then, "Rock 'N' Roll Part II" hits, and Simply Sensational walks out. He steps in the ring, and stares at Raven, who stands crucifix style. Someone jumps the guard-rail in a mask and floors Al Snow from behind! he hits Al with a chair assisted legdrop, and drops to one knee pointing to the sky. Raven grabs the mic.

RV=Al...you want me in the ring? You have to earn it! This here is a friend of mine, who you may remember from a while back. You two have a lot of history, and now, you're gonna have more. Quote The Raven...Nevermore...

Muta has climbed out from under the ring and hit a Reverse DDT on Raven. The Masked Man turns around, and gets hit with a Muta Mist. Not being able to see, he almost took the mask off, but Raven covered his head up and runs to the back with him. The pissed off Muta drags the fallen Al Snow into the middle of the ring and hits a high speed Moonsault on him.

AS=It seems to me that when a new masked wrestler enters a federation, his enemy and him go through the motions, and eventually, he loses his mask. Well, that aint the way Simply Sensational works! Raven, you and your mystery man can get your ass' out here right now!

RV=Me and my partner will tonight take you and a partner of your choice on. If you win, then you can face my mystery man at the PPV in a match with ANY stipulation of your choice.

post match sees Koji chase Ohtani through the crowd. BBB meanwhile hits TMIV with a Greetings From Asbury Park, and sets a table up out side the ring. He motions for a powerbomb over the rope, but Mick Foley runs in, and pulls TMIV down off BBB's shoulders.

Bam Bam looks pissed, but leaves anyway. To say thankyou, Tiger Mask IV gives Foley a spin kick to the jaw, sending him flying over the top rope to the outside and through the table.

Koji is still chasing Ohtani, and they end up outside. Ohtani dives to the side of the Kai En Tai tour van, and the back doors open. Funaki falls out laughing, and Kaz Hayashi dives out over him onto Koji. After throwing him into the side of the van, Yang runs in with a baseball bat and makes the save. Before he can do any damage to the tour van though, the rest of Kai En Tai return and Yang and Koji scarper.

AS=WAIT A MINUTE BOYS! That's right, don't run off just yet. You said I could have any stipulation, and here it is. The match can have any rules you want, but my stipulation is simple: whether I win or whether I lose, you my friend are losing your mask! That's right! No matter what the result, you will lose your mask!

GM=So tonight Kai En Tai must tolerate Arizona? Well, this may be a hell hole, but that doesn't mean we cannot have fun. Tonight, we have arranged a double main event for all you idiots in the audience, in the hope that you will see what real wrestling is all about. Tonight, Al Snow will face Osamu Nishimura and Raven's partner will face Crash Holly. Kai En Tai WILL invade the NCPW...will OVERDRIVE be the time for that?

KK=I am here tonight to make an announcement. At OVERDRIVE, I will defend my Cruiserweight Title. Shinjiro Ohtani has made a challenge, and I have accepted...but, four other men have also made the challenge. Tonight, they will compete in a four way cruiser rules match. The winner will join Ohtani and I shall defend my belt in a three-way cruiser rules match at OVERDRIVE.

RV=At OVERDRIVE, my partner will lose his mask. You said we could have a stipulation Al, so we choose a no dq match. That then brings us to my match The Great Muta. Love me or hate me, right now I am the NCPW's only hope of keeping this belt from Muta and Kai En Tai. At OVERDRIVE, I face Muta no holds barred style...Muta, I may hate the NCPW as much as you and your little buddies do, but you aren't getting this belt. I'm not saying this because I want to protect the NCPW, I say this because I want this belt, and you aren't gonna take it from me! Quote The Raven...Nevermore!

post match, BBB floors TMIV, and sets up a table outside the ring. Foley runs down again, but this time stands on the table. BBB throws TMIV out to Foley, and Mick hits a Double-Arm DDT through the table on TMIV.

MF=BANG BANG! Tiger Mask, that's for Monday. I'm sure that at OVERDRIVE, Bam Bam here will put you through two! While i'm out here, I have an announcement about the barbed wire match at OVERDRIVE. To keep things fair, and not biased in any way at all, I have appointed HHH as the guest referee!

post match, Al Snow runs in, and hits a Snow Plow on The Masked Man. He then throws him out of the ring, and mocks Raven. When Raven runs in, he and Al brawl in the ring, and eventually up the aisle. As they gget to the curtain, The Great Muta sticks his head around the curtain and uses a Muta Mist on both men. The show fades out with a three way brawl going on.

The show opens, and the cameras cut to the parking lot straight away, as Raven is waiting out there with a baseball bat. He is sitting on a wall, but gets up when he sees the Kai En Tai tour van (a plain grey van with Kai En Tai spray painted across either side) pull up. He stands crucifix style, and The Great Muta gets out of the drivers seat. The two stand there insulting each other, until the rest of Kai En Tai jump out of the back. Seeing he is outnumbered 9 to 1, Raven runs for it while Kai En Tai talk among themselves and watch him go.

Outside, Kai En Tai are sitting around the tour van, and on the wall Raven was on. They appear to be talking among themselves and drinking beer. The have a stereo on playing CDs by Thee Michelle Gun Elephant at a high volume. Very high. Someone (wearing shirt, tie, glasses suit etc) walks in and tries to talk to Muta. Muta turns the music down, and listens to the man ask him to turn the music down. Muta nods, and turns it down to a lower volume. The man tries to thank him, but Muta jumps around acting crazy and screaming, then sprays a mist in the air. The man looks scared shitless, and runs away. When he's gone, Kai En Tai laugh, and Muta turns the music back up again. Funaki is on top of the van dancing to the music. We cut back to the arena.

post match, TAKA and Funaki celebrate with the belts and spit on their fallen opponents. They signal to the back, and Onita walks down to the ring to do colour commentary on the next match.

Onita celebrates for a short time, then walks to the back. The cameras follow him, and he is met by Muta behind the curtain. As they walk towards the parking lot, Raven and his masked partner run in, and attack them! Muta eventually breaks free by hitting Raven with a Muta mist, and then hits his partner with a spin kick. Onita and Muta run to the back, and jump in the Kai En Tai tour van, and it speeds out of the arena.

post match, Raven brawls with Gangrel on the outside, and Al Snow fights the masked man on the inside. Al takes the man down with an Air Sabu, and tries to pull his mask off, but Raven sneaks in and Evenflows him. As he taunts, "Youngh Jaguar" hits and Kai En Tai run in! They're back in the arena! The 9 members run in but are met with Raven, The Masked Man, Al Snow and Gangrel with weapons. Although they fight as well as they can, Kai En Tai end up flooring each man and taking his weapon. Kai En Tai lay in to them and leave all four busted open in the ring as they taunt. Kai En Tai eventually leave, and the four NCPW stars are stretchered out.

In the parking lot, Kai En Tai arrive in their tour bus. As they get out, 9 NCPW wrestlers attack them! It's too dark to see who they are, but the leader appears to be Raven! A mass brawl is breaking out! TAKA dives off the top of the tour van as the camera cuts back to the arena.

MF=The nine superstars who attacked Kai En Tai in the parking lot have all been identified, and the leader was Raven. Well, I can't have this happening so close to the PPV, so tonight, there will be an 18-Man Tag match main event! Kai En Tai will face Raven, Zero-G, Kanemoto, Team Extreme, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Hardcore Holly!

AS=At OVERDRIVE, Simply Sensational faces someone who wears a mask. Regardless of the result, that mask is coming off, but that doesn't mattter. After facing you in many tag matches, I think I have a pretty clear idea of who you are. If you are who I think you are, then we do have a history, and it's time that history was laid to rest! Al Snow is taking you out, and then he's getting even with Raven for the last time!

RV=Tonight, I orchestrated an attack. This wont be the last time that I do that Muta. At OVERDRIVE, the attack will be on you, and I will take you apart! Muta...can you survive the Raven effect? Quote The Rave...Nevermore.

GM=Raven, you may think you have the upper hand, but the truth is, Kai En Tai are nearly ready to take control. At OVERDRIVE, I will take your belt, and then WE will take the rest of the belts and this federation. Kai En Tai are going to win this war, and no one will survive. Raven...Muta and Kai En Tai are taking over!
