---BC was up top ready for a Tennessee Jam, but Modest got up and finished him off.

InterviewThe Jackyl Pack make a challenge

post match, Eddie grabs the mic. the crod is still booing.

EDDIE: Shut up and listen to what we have to say. Wayne Bloom may have been fired from this company, but that wont stop us from getting where were going.

MODEST: Now that weve lost the excess baggage, we can let loose in the tag division. Maybe even get those titles...say Eddie, isnt it true that if a team makes a challenge, the holders have to accept?

EDDIE: You damn right its true, and that why were here tonight. You see Innovators, we wish to issue a challenge. At ONE STEP CLOSER, its gonna be you and us, no other teams involved.

MODEST: And you have to accept! There aint no backing down!

"SMACK" by 3 Doors Down hits the PA, and the tag champs walk down the aisle with mics.

KANYON: Mike...Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike...what makes you think we would nt accept? I would love nothing more than to beat you two losers in the ring on PPV.

NOVA: You see boys, were fighting champions. You want us two-on-two with no other teams involved? You got it!

The Innovators enter the ring, and The Jackyl Pack make a charge. Eddie nearly walks right into a Flatliner, but throws Kanyon off. Modest meanwhile reverses a Novacaine by rolling over Nova and hits a Novacaine of his own. Kanyone gets straight up and flattens Modest with a Flatliner, but ends up on the recieving end of an Eddie Guerrero spinning TKO. Eddie picks up his comrade, and the two leave.

Team Extreme (Booker T, Rhino and Taz) defeated

The Suicide Blondes (Chris Jericho, Christian and Edge) when Booker T pinned

Chris Jericho with the Missle Dropkick in 0:17:15.

(Team Extreme (Booker T, Rhino and Taz) retained the NCPW SIX MAN TITLES.)

---Average match, Jericho hit a lionsault on Taz, but turned around into Booker T’s finisher.

Interviewpost match...

TAZ: It seems that Team Extreme have a hard time ahead of them.

BOOKER: With three teams to challenge us at ONE STEP CLOSER, we are gonna have our work cut out for us. Well, Team Extreme is gonna take each an every one of those teams out at the PPV, and one by one they will fall.

RHINO: One team will get choked out, one will get missle dropkicked, and one will be gored by the man beast. At ONE STEP CLOSER, you will all see a new intensity to Rhino, and it aint gonna be pretty.

TAZ: WE ARE TEAM EXTREME! THE NCPW SIX MAN TAG CHAMPIONS! BEAT US IF YOU CAN! SURVIVE IF WE LET YOU!

Sick Boy pinned Osamu Nishimura with the Cure in 0:12:06.

---Nishimura went for the back piledriver, but Sick Boy reversed it with a shift of his weight and hit The Cure (pedigree) for the win.

InterviewSick Boy and Kai En Tai...

SICK: Kai En Tai...get out here, I know your back there somewhere.

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant's "YOUNG JAGUAR" hits and Kai En Tai calmly walk out and surround the ring. They pull Nishimura out of the ring, and Ohtani helps him to the back.

SICK: I am the 2002 Cruiser King. Do you know what that means? It means I get a shot at Ohtani's cruiserweight title. I get a shot, and you cant change that.

OHTANI: You want a title shot? I knew that. I know you get the shot, so why call us out here?

SICK: You see thats not all, Ive got my PPV title shot, but I want you to suffer Ohtani. I want to take you apart. And I want to give you a preview of what im gonna do to. Thats why on Thursday, you and me have got a non-title match.

OHTANI: Thats it? You wanted to tell me EXACTLY what Commissioner Foley told me just a few minutes ago? What a waste of time!

SICK: You think this was a waste? Why dont you get your ass in here now, and well see if you can waste me!

OHTANI: Thats what you want? Fine! Have it your way.

All of Kai En Tai enter the ring and attack, each one getting a piece of Sick Boy before Ohtani finally steps up onto the apron. Sick slowly gets u, and as he turns, Ohtani hits a brutal springboard swinging DDT.

OHTANI: You think that just because you won some little tournament, you are the man? YOUR NOTHING!

Ohtani spits on Sick Boy, and starts stomping. Suddenly, we hear a "roar" echo around the arena, the lights go off, a red spotlight is placed on every Kai En Tai memeber, and claw marks swipe across the titan tron at the back of the arena. Kai En Tai seem freaked by this, and the roar fades into "Duck and run" by 3 Doors Down. Kai En Tai are looking anxiously around, and they bail from the ring. Muta stays behind, looking around.

MUTA: Raven? Is that you? Are you trying to gain an advantage before your match with me tonight? Is this your idea of a joke? Im not that stupid Raven.

We hear a scratching sound, and Muta's eyes are drawn to the big screen. The claw swipes are gone, and words are being "scratched" into the screen. In blood red lettering, the word appear: "This isnt a Raven Kai En tai. be ready to take a walk on the wild side. The Wildcat is coming..." Muta looks freaked out, and bails from the ring. He runs to the back, and the music fades out.

Great Muta pinned Raven with the Moonsault in 0:20:38.

(Great Muta retained the NCPW WORLD TITLE.)

---Muta was hesitant to come out for the match, but in the end got out there and beat Raven with a picture perfect moonsault.

Interviewpost match...

post match, Kai En Tai storm the ring and lay into Raven. Sabu comes to his aid, but is out-numbered. Kai En Tai drag both Flock members down the aisle to the scaffolding supporting the big screen. Muta produces rope from behind the scaffolding and both guys are tid to the rigging crucifix style. Kai En tai llok at their handy work, but the lights go off and we gear the roar fade into "Duck and Run" again. The red spotlights appear on the fallen Flock and Muta (who is looking around, trying tosee who it is doing this). The scratching on the screen reads "This will not go unpunished Kai En Tai. Their sacrifice will not be in vain." The lights go back to normal, and Muta goes crazy. He grabs a chair and beats Raven and Sabu into a bloody mess. He then covers his hands in their blood, and wipes it onhis face, shouting at the big screen as we go off air.

MUTA: Ah, Ohtani. You know Nishimura-san. He wishes to join Kai En Tai.

MUTA: Yes. That is why we must alk.

OHTANI: Huh? Whats him joining gotta do with me?

MUTA: Well, he needs to prove himself loyal, so he needs a PPV match.

OHTANI: I think I can see what's...

MUTA: At ONE STEP CLOSER, you and Sick Boy have a new opponent in Nishimura.

OHTANI: Why my match? Tiger Mask has no match, let him fight him.

MUTA: Ohtani Shinjiro, he WILL face you!

OHTANI: Any reason for this Keiji? Something maybe I should know about?

MUTA: You sound un-trusting when you say that Ohtani. Am i to think you need to prove your loyalty too?

MUTA: Nishimura-san will face you and Sick Boy Triple Threat rules. Now, he will not be in there to beat you. He will be there to help you.

OHTANI: Help me? I dont...

MUTA: Damn you Ohtani! Listen to me! Nishimura will help you win, and then he will be in Kai En Tai, how can you have a problem with this?

OHTANI: I HAVE NO PROBLEM KEIJI, I JUST DONT NEED HELP TO BEAT SICK BOY!

OHTANI: Im sorry Muta-san. I just dont...

MUTA: Shut up, before you say something you regret.

OHTANI: So be it. I look forward to working with you Nishimura-san.

The rest Kai En Tai have been watching this scene, and now get back to what they were doing...mainly lazing around. Terry Boy and Dick Togo are listening to Powerslave by Iron Maiden again. Ohtani looks up at them.

OHTANI: DAMNIT! Dont you ever listen to anything else?

Togo smiles, turns the cd player up and tosses Ohtani a beer. Ohtani laughs and sits on the bonnet of the van.

Sabu pinned Al Snow with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:14:18.

Interviewthe debut of Al's partner...

post match, Sabu starts to leave, but Al grabs a mic.

SNOW: Whoa there! Wait! Look, I know that you and Raven must be petty sore right now...i mean, you did kinda get your asses kicked didnt ya! (laughs) C'Mon what kind of idiots try to take on 9 guys at once? Look, I know that your minds are on revenge, but right now...right now you've got bigger things to worry about. Like...my Demon Of Destruction! Its time we set the date for you two to meet him. What's gonna happen is this: On Mayhem next week, you and me Sabu, well have a Ladder Match. To goal is to get the brief case containing a contract. The holder of this contract can pick the date for you and Raven vs me and Un...my Demon Of Destruction. The match is already signed, so you cant back out...the winner can announce the date for the clash on Fireball next week. Remember though...beware the nine Japanese Demons who wish to take you away and sacrifice you to the big screen!

Al laughs as Sabu walks off. Al exits through the crowd.

Koji Kanemoto and Mikey Whipwreck when TMIV pinned Kanemoto with the

Tiger Suplex in 0:23:35.

InterviewTMIV at ONE STEP CLOSER

post match, Mikey and Koji bail, and TMIV takes the mic...

TMIV: You know, Ohtani was right. I should defend this title at the PPV. Mikey...Koji-san...this was fun tonight. You two are worthy contenders to the TV Title. I really dont think the PPV needs another three-way match though. You two talk about it, and decide how your gonna decide which of you gets the title shot.

Mikey and Koji leave together. Tiger Mask IV exits next. Muta stays back and takes the mic.

MUTA: You know something? nah...didnt think you did. HAHAHAHA! I Am the NCPW World Champion, and soon, you will all have to watch helplessly as WE take control! We did a number on Raven and Sabu...Sabu was able to return. Raven is still out, and thats how hell stay if he knows what's good for him. If he returns...he has Al Snow to deal with. The NCPW is out of heros, and now you will all have to accept that the NCPW will soon belong to Kai En Tai!

The lights go off, and the red spotlight goes onto Muta. The roar followed by "Duck and Run" cues and the scratching appears on the big screen. "Muta...you will never take this company. The NCPW has two heros left, and you'll see both of them at One Step Closer." Muta is freaking out big time, and sprays green mist into the air. The lights go back to normal and the show goes off air with Muta left in the ring looking both scared and angry.
