April 2003 TV

The pyros went off, and the crowd was ready. Tonight, we find out who The Stalker is. The crowd seem to have their own ideas, as a few signs are up including "The Stalker is Barry Windham" and "DDP for stalker!"

The crowd starts to cheer when THE HORSEMEN (WCW Produced) plays, and Chris Benoit enters the ring for his forst singles match…his first match in fact since the end of Benoit and Malenko as a team. We next hear MIRACLE ECSTACY (NCPW Produced) and MEN'S Teiho walks calmy down to the ring. The crowd pops for his taunts, but the pop is a bit lower than the PPV pop he got against Sick Boy.

A slick match up to start the show with. Both men traded reversals. At one point, Teiho went for the Miracle Ecstacy, but Benoit wouldn't let him lift him, and locked in a Crossface. Teiho reached the ropes. The end came when Teiho put on a sleeper, but Benoit slid out, went behind, and finished MEN'S off with the German Suplex.

The crowd was hot after that match, and were about to get even more heated. DIE AGAIN (Wolfsbane) plays, and as it gets real heavy, The Coalition enter. There are now green lights flashing on them, and as Blaze Bailey' voice comes in, the whole scene looks really freaky.

DOYLE: Tonight, Raven MUST reveal the man who is stalking our commissioner. Tonight, The Coalition will show you all just WHY, you should NEVER disobey us! Tonight, we stand tall, amidst the chaos, as we have the last laugh!

KIEFER: And laugh we shall! Tonight, that sick fucker who thinks he can make my life a mysery will be bought to justice! But that will come later. At Brave New World, I vacated the tag straps. Now, this means that new champions must be crowned, so we have arranged a tournament involving some of the best teams in the NCPW. The matches will be as follows. J-Thunder were going to face Benoit & Malenko, but since they are no longer a team, a replacement team has been chosen, which shall be revealed later. The Eliminators will take on Flames Of Redemption…that's Essa Rios and Eiji Ezaki. Two former championship teams, The Innovators and Zero-G will meet in the next first round match. And finally, tonights match will be The Final Chapter squaring off with The Jackyl Pack. So…every regular team in the NCPW is in the tournament, and good luck to all of you!

We hear DANGER AT THE DOOR (WWF Produced), and the crowd gives D'Lo Brown a decent pop. He has Sick Boy' Revenge Cup with him, and seems to be polishing it on the way down to the ring. The crowd seem to be enjoying D'Lo holding this trophy. We then hear MALENKO THEME (WCW Produced) and Malenko walks out, as serious as ever. The crowd gives him a modest pop, but nothing special. Malenko needs a storyline.

The surprising thing about this match, was that Sick Boy didn't shwo up. He did not make one appearance as these two traded reversals and moves. D'Lo held the upper hand for most of the match though, and in the end nailed A Sky High, then a Lo-Down for the 1-2-3.

SICK: OK Punk, listen up. I worked lng and hard for that trophy, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you just take it like this! I am the NCPW TV Champion, and as such, I demand you hand me back my property.

D'LO: HAHAHA! I think you better recognize this boy. I am D'Lo Brown! I was in the very first NCPW Main Event on PPV! I am ready to step up to that level again, and you seem to be standing in my way. Well, I decided that the higher ups have always held me back, and now I've taken things into my own hands. From this day on, what D'Lo wants, D'Lo will go out and get for himself! If I see something I want, I take it! And I started with this nice trophy of mine.

DON'T TRUST A JACKYL (NCPW Produced) plays, and we are treated to an appearance from The Jackyl Pack. The crowd is booign madly as the team that nearly won the tag titles come out to face the former champs. We then get THE FINAL CHAPTER( NCPW Produced) playing over the p.a. and the former champs walk out to a mixed reaction.

Both teams put on one the best tag matches seen on NCPW TV, and the crowd was appreciative. The end came when Modest nailed a Backdrop Driver on Ohtani on the outside, allowing Eddie to nail his finisher on Koji for the win.

SNOW: …And Glen is going down. And one thing about that match. I don't want ANY of you to interfere. Kiefer, I know the new Coalition member is joining us at the PPV, but I don't want him, or you, or you Mr. Doyle, or you Mikey to get involved unless he tries to get his friends to help him.

Snow looks pissed off, and begins to laugh. Then he slaps Glen Jacobs! Al Snow and Glen Jacobs are standing toe-to-toe! The world champion has to look up to look his challenger in the eyes! Mikey gets in the middle of them.

JERICHO: To all my Jerichoholics out there…I'm sorry! That's right, I'm sorry! I'm sorry you had to watch that idiot Jody Fleisch make a mockery of the cruiserweight belt at Brave New World, andi'm sorry for you all having to watch me once again beat the living Hell out of Billy The Kidman.

A decent cruisr match. Plenty of moves early on, including a Lionsault after only 2 minutes, which nearly got Jericho a win. Ralphus of course helped Jericho in every way, including putting his foot on the ropes after a Kid Krusher, and nailing Kidman with a chair when the referees back was turned. Of course, once the ref turned back, Jericho quickly applied the Lion Tamer…which bought out Jody Fleisch! He got up on the apron, and the ref was distracted as Kidman tapped! Jericho let go, and went after Hody, and Ralphus got in the ring. Jody jumped off the apron, and the referee turned his attention to Ralphus. As he tried to get Ralphus out of the ring, Kidman hauled himself onto the top turnbuckle. Jody meanwhile proceeded to nail the Phoenix 720 DDT on Jericho! He quickly ran across the ring, and knocked Ralphus over the top rope too! As the referee turned, he saw Kidman hit the Shooting Star Press on Jericho! One…Two…Three! We have a new Cruiserweight champion!

FLEISCH: Hey Chris! Remember me? Tonight, I finished what I started! You see Chris, I get the last laugh! You and me? This feud is over! I cost you your belt, so I win! I tell you what ex-champ, you're gonna have one helluva task working your way back up the ladder too! As for me? I'm cruisin' baby! Me and Jonny Storm are in the tag titles tournament!

Once Kidman has left, we are ready for a special attraction tonight. WAR MACHINE (Kiss) plays, and Taz walks down the ramp. His tag partner enters to COWBOYS FROM HELL (Pantera)…that's right! Justin Credible!

RVD: Now…first things first you two both seem so eager to face me? Well then at Wrestlefest, how about a Triple Threat Match? First fall takes it all! Hell, after you've seen me tonight though, I'll understand if you think better of it, and don't show up for the PPV! Now, let me introduce you to my tag partner for tonights no holds barred match-up…

RVD: Now, lets see if you guys and girls are smarter than those idiots in Florida. Now, I want you people to wait till I count to three, just like te three the referee is gonna count tonight when I win the match…and start a chant. Now, since there will be be no music, you can't chant ROB…VAN DAM in time, so I want you all to just scream RVD! RVD! RVD! OK? Here we go…one…two…three!

There was trouble brewing between Taz and Credible from the get-go. The two argued through-out, and tags were forced by each other. RVD showed why he's the FTW champion, and Sick Boy fared well in there. Here's how it ended. Justin Credible and Sick Boy were the legal men, and Taz just walked out! Then D'Lo Brown sneaked in from the crowd and nailed RVD with a Sky High as Sick Boy hit Credible with the Cure. As the referee counted three, D'Lo had ran through the crowd with something up his shirt.

D'LO: I said that if I saw something I liked, then I'd take it. Well, at first, I was gonna make sure you two lost, but then something caught my eye. It seems that you two have some damn nice belts, and I thought to myself…they'd go really well with that Revenge Cup of yours! So…I took the TV and FTW Title Belts! Aint that cool!

BENOIT: Now that I'm back in singles competiton, I want to remind the world that I'm the best technical wrestler on the planet. To do that, I need a good challenger. Well, at Wrestlefest, I will fight anyone who wants me. However, all those interested must make themselves clear on that tonight.

Back in the ring, we hear BLACK DIAMOND (Kiss) and Nick Dinsmore enters to a mixed reaction. Those who know him are happy to see him on TV and cheer. The rest of the crowd are probably wondering why Dark Match guy is on TV so soon, and why he's so special. ANARCHY IN THE UK (Sex Pistols) wakes them up a bit thoguh as the former FTW champion enters the ring.

The crowd warmed to Dinsmore as the match progressed. Very technical match, and pleny of suplex moves too. Dinsmore couldn't quite hit his German Suplex, but Doug reminded us that he's not just a Hardcore Wrestler, and eventually hit his patented Northernm Lights Suplex for the pin.

?????: Oh, I'm on the roster. No other clues will be given. All you need to know is this. Kiefer, if you know what's good for you…don't step in the ring tonight, aor you will feel the force of my new finisher.

The match started with Chavo hitting some nice quick fire moves for the frist minute of the match, then HHH hit a clothesline. HHH was in control for the rest of the match, and squashed Chavon heavily, finally hitting the Pedigree for the win. HHH left without celebrating.

DANGEROUS (NCPW Produced) plays and Shamrock stands in the aisle. DUCK AND RUN (3 Doors Down) hits and Rob Brookside joins him. Then run down to the ring and high-five. We then get INSIDE (Stiltskin) playing and Glen Jacobs and Raven walk down to the ring. DIE AGAIN (Wolfsbane) plays and the whole Coalition enters. Al and Mikey stand on the apron while Doyle and Kiefer take commentating duties.

Hard hitting is the only way to describe this one. The longest match of the night had a finishing sequence like this: Robbie was KO'd on the outside, and Glen Jacobs was also down. Shamrock hit a Belly-To-Belly Suplex to Raven and picked him up. Al Snow charged in and took out Shamrock while the legal man Mikey hit the Whippersnapper on Raven. 1-2-3! Raven has been pinned by Mikey again!

The lights go off again. CRACK! We hear the sound again. This time as the lights come back on, we see The Stalker! Standing over Kiefer Sutherland with a chair is…"THE GAME" HHH! He places the cahir on the floor.

HHH picks Kiefer up into a DVD position…FIREMAN'S CARRY INTO A SLAM! He just hit an Amityville Horror on Kiefer Sutherland! The moment Kiefer hit the chair, ACE OF SPADES (Motorhead) hit and the crowd went crazy!

The crowd is hot tonight, and there are a few more pro-HHH signs than normal. Unlike usual, we do not get to see the opening pyros, BUT, the participants for the first match are in the ring already.

Well, on one team, we have a former World Champion, Three former TV champions, and one of them won the F8 last year. The other team has former tag champs, a cruiser going nowhere, and a former FTW champion. Really, it should have been a great match. However, something just didn't click, and so the match suffered. After nearly 20 minutes of action that was only supposed to go 10, but there was a problem backstage, Kanyon and Nova hit TMIV with Total Innovation for the pin.

After the ring had cleared, we hear DANGER AT THE DOOR (WWF Produced) and D'Lo Brown walks out to the ring. Looking as cocky as ever, and earning a nice reception, he has with him the NCPW TV Title Belt, NCPW FTW Title Belt, and the Revenge Cup Trophy.

WALK (Pantera) plays and "The Whole F'N Show walks down to the ring. Unlike his normal self, he isn't pointing, and he looks serious…OK that's a lie. He's as cocky as ever too, and is making a beeline for the ring.

RVD: Now D'Lo…you know as well as all these people here that you DID NOT beat the Whole F'N Show! To be the FTW Champion, you have to beat the best in the business. And to prove to you that you are not the best, lets get the crowd to help us out. What I want is for all you fans out there to scream as loud as you can just WHO is the WORST wrestler in the ring right now!

D'LO: You? Kick MY ass? HAHAHAHA! I tell ya what…since you're obviously in such a hurry to get an ass whuppin' at the hands of the first ever FTTV champion…I'll give you a shot at MY FTW Belt tonight!

RVD: You want to give me a title shot at my own belt? Great! Well, tonight, Rob Van Dam is beat you down, and carry you to a ***** match in this very ring, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sick Boy got some shots in too!

RVD points to himself and shouts something D'Lo as he exits through the crowd. RVD walks to the back. We then hear HORSEMEN THEME (WCW Produced) and Chris Benoit walks out to a decent pop. His opponent Nick Dinsmore enters to little reaction and the tune of DROWNING IN A DAYDREAM (COC).

The crowd once again warmed to Dinsmore as the match went on. The younger of the two hit some nice moves on Benoit, but Benoit hit back harder than anyone would have thought. It seems that he wanted to prove something to Dinsmore tonight. At the end of the match, the referee was against the ropes when Doug Williams ran in! Williams tripped the referee, knocking him out, and entered the ring nailing Benoit with a succession of three suplexes. He then woke up the referee as Dinsmore nailed the match winning German Suplex.

KIDMAN: Well well…it's been a long time coming, hasn't it? Billy Kidman is now the cruiserweight champion…and it's time that he got the respect he's deserved all along. Now…everyone knows that a PPV wouldn't be a PPV without a Cruiserweight Title match! So, WHO is gonna be my…

Kidman just walks away, as Jericho looks on in astonishment. He begins to thrpw a fit, but Chavon calms him down…by DDTing him! Once the ring is clear, we hear TOTAL ELIMINATION (NCPW Produced) and The Eliminators come out. Then RIDE FROM THE FLAMES (NCW Produced) plays and Flames Of Redemption enter.

This tag title clash had a bit of everything in it. Kronus brawled, Essa took to the air, and Eiji and Saturn put on a surprisingly sturdy mat display. Asfter some really heated action, the dominating team won when Essa hit his moonsault.

RAVEN: Some people take delight in torturing others. Some people spend time causing pain for small creatures. Insects. Ken Shamrock…I am no insect, and your joy in ruining me is going to be short lived, one way or the other. You see Shamrock, tonight you are refereeing the main event again. Again it involves me. IF you put your nose in my business AGAIN…then I will finish what you started.

JACOBS: And as for you Al Snow. How much longer can you run? YOU are the one responsible for me finding my self…and for that I thank you. However, you are trying my patients now. You see Snow…everytime I get you in that ring you run like a coward. Well at Wrestlefest you wont be able to run. I mean…do you really think you can continue to hide from me? From ME? I am the monster you created Al, and now you have lost control. Tonight with Shamrock in the middle…Raven, HHH and myself take on YOU Snow, and YOU MIKEY, and you Mr. Doyle!

HHH: I AM…THE GAME! You know, right now there must be one question on each and every one of your minds. Is it true that there will be another Triad? Me, Raven and Glen Jacobs? The Triad? Those days are done, but since it's on the internet it must be true! Of course, if your smart…or if your just Kiefer Sutherland you must be wondering WHY I chose to torment that pathetice little shit.

HHH: Why? HAHAHAHA! Let me take you back a bit Kiefer. What none of you realise is that Kiefer here has been with us for over a year. Although he is only now Commissioner, he was head booker. Well Kiefer, what was it you said to ME when you came iin?

HHH: That's right, and you did. Now before that, I was in the race for the World Title, so naturally the end of The Triad signals my forst run at the world title since losing to Al Snow. But that wasn't how it went is it Kiefer? WHAT did you tell me to do?

HHH: Yeah. And not the one with guys like Doug Williams and Taz. The one with Atsushi Onita, and Bob Fucking Holly. Well you piece of shit, I thought hey! A run with the FTW Title while I wait for the room to clear at the top is fine. Maybe after Muta' big storyline finishes I'll be up there. But NO! What happened?

HHH: That's right Kiefer. You…YOU made The Game lose to Bob Holly for four months. And in the 5th month, it was Wrestlefest II. You put me in the PPV opener, to decide the top contender to the World Title. And guess what happened? I DID THE JOB! And then what happened?

HHH: …I went back to the fucking FTW division and Jobbed to Bob Holly! Soon after…I was taken off TV. I got news for you people, I weren't injured. Your smart Commissioner had the idea of me not being a high enough calibre contender for ANY Titles! And you want to know WHY? I'LL TELL YOU WHY YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU SCREWED ME EVERY GOD DAMN NIGHT OF MY CAREER WHEN YOU ARRIVED AND NOW I'M TAKING MY REVENGE!

HHH: Oh you damn right you'll make it up to me! How ironic that at last years Wrestlefest you screwed me out of a World Title shot, and it should be THIS years Wrestlefest that I get my revenge? HAHAHAHA! At Wrestlefest, a member of The Coalition will face me in the ring. When I've kicked his ass, I get a special prize.

HHH: Do you realise what you've just done? I'll tell you shall I? You have just signed a contract that means once I beat your Coalition member I get five minutes in the ring, with no Coalition interference alourd with…guess who.

HHH gives a smile and then grabs Kiefer. He picks him up for the Game Over…BAM! That's two weeks running Kiefer has been hit with the Game Over! And here come The Coalition (sans Al Snow)! HHH exits.

CREDIBLE: That's not just the coolest…that's not just the best…that's Just In Credible! HAHAHA! RVD, I know you're gonna fight D'Lo tonight, and I'll tell you this. Whether you win or lose, I want you…and you Taz…in a Triple Threat match with no holds barred. If you lose tonight, then the winner gets to face D'Lo!

TAKA and Funaki made sure that Jericho didn't get to cheat. Whenever Ralphus tried to throw Jericho a weapon of some sort, the non-legal man member of the team would take him down. In the end, Ralphus did manage to slide a chair in while the referee disciplined him and Funaki, but TAKA took advantage and Michinoku Drivered Jericho onto it, and threw it away for the 1-2-3.

JERICHO: DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL! ALL MY JERICHOHOLICS SAW ME GET CHEATED…AGAIN! THE MOST FAIR MAN IN SPRTS ENTERTAINEMENT JUST GOT SCREWED AGAIN, AND THIS TIME BY TWO OVER-RATED, WASHED UP JAPANESE BASTARDS!

One of the best FTW matches to date, the two hit some first class moves, and did a few garbage spots too. As the match went on, Sick Boy snuck in and took the TV Title Belt. D'Lo saw this and shouted at Sick Boy running up the aisle. When he turned, RVD tried a Van Daminator, but D'Lo ducked. RVD, however DDTed D'Lo anyway and hit the ***** Frog Splash.

Not as good as it should have been. Niether was really on form, but they still assembled a match. In the middle of the match D'Lo snuck in and snatched the TV Title belt again! Sick Boy won with the Cure.

Post match, Sick Boy asks for his belt, and realises what has happened. He gets pissed off and hits two more Cures on Malenko and one on the referee. He runs up through the crowd to try and find D'Lo.

We see a short run down of the current Wrestlefest III card, and realise that two more matches have been added: MEN'S Teiho, Robbie Brookside, DDP VS The Innovators, Masato Yakushiji. And TMIV VS Rhino.

DIE AGAIN (Wolfsbane) hits and The Coalition enters the ring. INSIDE (Stiltskin) plays and Jacobs enters to a standing ovation. Raven follows him in, and HHH walks down afterwards. Ken Shamrock is already in the ring.

The Demon Of Destruction had to once again put up with Snow running. Of course, Matt Doyle refused to face all three guys so this just left Mikey Whipwreck to face all three for a lot of it. The end came when Matt Doyle was finally in the ring, and Raven rolled him up! One…Two…Mikey puts his foot on the ropes! Raven gets pissed off and pushes Shamrock…HE'S SNAPPED! BAM! BELLY-TO-BELLY! BAM! AGAIN! BAM! A THIRD! Matt Doyle runs the ropes, and…LEG DROP! 1-2-3!

Post match, Raven is REALLY pissed off and starts to shove Shamrock around and the two brawl to the outside. In the ring, Mikey has started to beat on HHH. Snow meanwhile has found a chair and is busy introducing Glen jacobs to it. Matt Doyle and Kiefer Sutherland survey the carnage in the ring and decide to walk to the back as the show fades.

The New Mettle Theme Walk On Water (Ozzy Osbourne) hits and the pyros go off. The crowd is ready, and the action is set to begin. As we pan around the arena seeing New Yorks Shea Stadium is almost sold out, the tune of War Machine (Kiss) plays and Taz makes his way to the ring for the opening contest for the FTW Title. Knowing that this is for the FTW Title means that the next man out is…Walk (Pantera) is played over the speakers and "The Whole F'N Show" walks out to the ring with his belt, looking as happy and cocky as ever.

This featured both guys holding a bit back for the PPV in two weeks. The usual spots were displayed, and the two traded off a few moves, such as Taz' T-Bone Tazplex, and RVD' standing Moonsault. After about three minutes, Justin Credible ran in with his Singapore Cane and attacked both men, first flooring Taz, then RVD. As he celebrated though, both RVD and Taz got up and nailed him with a double clothesline. Creible lay on the floor till the sixth minute whereby he got up and nailed Taz with anoth cane shot, allowing the small package by RVD.

RVD: You two just don't get it, do you? THIS is exactly how it'll end at Wrestlefest! Niether of you two could beat The Whole F'N Show on your best days, if you both double teamed me! I am the man that carries this company on his shoulders, and now you two get to find out first hand WHY everybody here in the Shea Stadium thinks I'm so great!

We cut to the back, and in the parking lot, a car pulls up. Out of it steps The NCPW World Champion Al Snow, Mikey Whipwreck, the NCPW Pwner Matt Doyle and NCPW Commissioner Kiefer Sutherland. They enter the arena, and the cameras follow them to the main offices. Sutherland goes in while Doyle, Mikey and Snow walk over towards some fans who want autographs.

We go back to the arena and hear Welcome To The Jungle (Guns `N' Roses) and Rhino enters with MEN'S Teiho in tow. Then we hear "T-I-G-E-R That Spells Tiger!" and the Tiger Mask IV Theme (Mpro Produced) hits and Tiger Mask IV enters with Dean Malenko.

Well, Malenko appears to enjoy tag teaming. And he and TMIV looked pretty solid as a team too until MEN'S and Rhino got a break through a Rhino Gore. From there, it was all in favour of Rhino and MEN'S who dominated both men until Teiho managed to hit his Miracle Ecstacy on Malenko for the 1-2-3.

KIEFER: Yeah I know…Yeah…I don't care where you are, there's cameras in here and you can't be seen with us until…yes there's a reason I'm calling you! We're bringing things forward…huh?…YES! I KNOW I SAID WAIT TILL AFTER WRESTLEFEST, BUT I GET THIS FEELING THAT YOU NEED TO BE THERE!…OK, look…you want to join The Coalition right? Then EARN it! Do this for me and you're in!

Sick Boy barges past and goes down the hall till he gets to the locker room. He tries to push the door open, but it appears to be locked, so he kicks it a bit and tries again. It still wont open, and the security guard walks over. He simply pulls the door, and it opens. He walks off as Sick Boy gives him the finger. Sick Boy then enters the locker room, and we see him re-emerge seconds later with the Revenge Cup, but no TV Belt. He seems annoyed about the lack of the belt, but is happy to get the cup back.

Back in the arena, Anarchy In The UK (Sex Pistols) plays and Doug Williams enters to a good sized reaction from the crowd. Meanwhile, the cameras have spotted Nick Dinsmore in the crowd! He's in the front row. Then we hear Horsemen Theme (WCW Produced) and Chris Benoit enters to a good loud reaction that almost matches Williams'.

Doug has stated many times before that he would love to face Benoit, and this is not the first time they have in the NCPW. Every bit as good as expected, the two put on a great technical match, and Dinsmore was as impressed as the crowd was. In the end, Doug set up for his Northern Lights Suplex, but Benoit turned and applied the Crippler Crossface for the tap out.

JERICHO: All my Jerichoholics out there know it is only a matter of time before I regain my Cruiserweight belt, and you Billy Kidman will have Hell to pay! There is no way you are gonna walk out of Wrestlefest with that belt! But tonight, I have more pressing matters. J-Thunder…I know everything in Japan is small, but I didn't think your minds were! I mean, you have the audacity to knock on my door and then attack me? Well baby, I got news for you! Tonight one of you is gonna get his ass kicked! So you two talk it over and get out to that ring and take your punishment like a man!

We return and Poison (Alice Cooper) plays and out comes Chris Jericho with Ralphus. As Jericho warms up in the ring, we hear Young Jaguar (Thee Michelle Gun Elephant) play and TAKA and Shoichi walk down. It appears to be the "Young Jaguar" himself who is gonna fight Jericho.

Indeed, TAKA was a lot more methodical in what he did tonight. Although his high spots were worked in, everything he did seemed to be pre-planned. Another thing that he had going for him was Funaki. You see, every time Ralphus tried to help Jericho, Funaki stopped him. Eventually, Ralphus nailed Funaki with a right, that seemed to take him out and he ran to the other side of the ring, while Funaki got to his feet. Ralphus then reached into his pants and pulled out some brass knuckles while Jericho floored TAKA with a double powerbomb. Ralphus then threw the knuckles to Jericho…but Funaki was on the apron at the same time! Funaki springboarded off the top rpe and caught the brass knuckles before Jericho, and nailed a tope on Ralphus. Jericho shouted out to him, and then turned back to TAKA…MICHINOKU DRIVER! 1…2…3! TAKA nailed Jericho with the Michinoku Driver and it's over!

JERICHO: OK OK…tell me…do you REALLY think you can get away with this? DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS WILL GO UN-PUNISHED? Well let me tell you something…Shoichi Funaki…you just signed your death warrant! At Wrestlefest, I wan you one-on-one in the ring! And TAKA…you are to be banned from ringside, and to make sure you don't make it down to the ring, Ralphus here will be waiting at the top of the ramp for you baby!

JACOBS: Al Snow…you really can't keep running. Sooner or later you will lose your will to run and then your mine. As for tonight, you have a task to perform. I want to see what you can REALLY do. I want to see how resourceful you can be. And if you or any of The Coalition steps out of line tonight, I will be there to make sure your match continues. Tonight Al, you and HHH meet head to head for the world title. Give it all you've got Al, I don't want to have to fight a loser at Wrestlefest.

We cut to the ring and Bam Bam Bigelow is already waiting the arrival of his opponent. We then hear some new music…To Myself I turned (Lacuna Coil) plays and the crowd knows not what to expect till a familiar figure enters through the curtain when the vocals hit. Raven has new music it seems and the crowd are waiting to see what he does tonight.

Raven dominated the whole match near enough. BBB did get odd spurts of attack in, but Raven held him down ready. Then Ken Shamrock ran down…and stopped at the edge of the ring! Raven was standing by the ropes staring at Shamrock, and Shamrock had stopped! Raven then turned back to BBB and locked in an STF. Bam Bam tapped.

Post match, the crowd was going crazy, and had no idea who they should cheer for. As a result, everyone was chanting either "RAVEN!" or "SHAMROCK!" Ken entered the ring, and he and Raven started to lay into each other with rights and lefts till security pulled them apart in the middle of the ring. Raven calmed down quickly and stared directly into Shamrock' eyes. He then pulled himself free and walked towards the back.

SNOW: Glen…you want to see me in the ring tonight against HHH? Well, I'm quite happy to make Mikey' job easier, but you confuse me sometimes. I mean…what do you mean you want to see what I can REALLY do? You want to see my at my full? I don't think so! I could beat HHH without breaking a sweat! As for Wrestlefest, there will be NO running.

We cut to the ring and I Disappear (MetallicA) begins to play, which brings forward two things. Mike Awesome, and…near silence from the crowd. MetallicA then segues into Cure and the crowd boos madly as Sick Boy enters.

Sick Boy and Awesome put together what they could, but the crowd only really lightened up when D'Lo walked through the crowd and clapped Sick Boy hitting move after move. D'Lo then took off hid jacket to reveal the TV Title Belt! He then got up on the apron and…hit the referee? With the referee down, Awesome grabbed Sick Boy! D'Lo entered the ring and dove with the belt…Sick Boy ducked! Awesome is down! Sick Boy plants D'Lo with a Cure, and the crowd is in a booing frenzy! The referee is recovering and he sees Sick Boy shouting at D'Lo and then nailing Awesome with a Cure. 1-2-3.

Post match, Sick Boy picks D'Lo up, and nails another Cure. He then grabs the TV Title Belt, and shouts to the fallen D'Lo that he'll get the same treatment at Wrestlefest. He then leaves up the aisle.

When we return, we see Zero-G entering to Last Resort (Papa Roach). They still get boos, even now they haven't had a solid storyline since their feud with The Innovators, J-Thunder, and Jonny Storm. We then hear Kryptonite (3 Doors Down), and The Innovators walk out. They are still one of the most popular teams in the NCPW.

These two teams showed straight away that they've met many times before and went back and forth through out for a heated crowd. The ending came as follows. The referee was bumped, and The Innovators went for TOTAL INNOVATION on Kid Kash, but Devon nailed Kanyon with a chair, so Kash only got half the move on him. When Nova got up, Devon nailed his finisher onto the chair, and threw it away as the referee recovered to count the fall. The crowd booed madly as Zero-G cheated their way into the semi-finals.

RAVEN: You know…every time, I see…I feel. Every person I see, every man, every woman, every child…evey person I walk past, talk to, see in the arenas…I look into their souls and I fell their pain. I feel their pain, their suffering, and their sorrow.

RAVEN: But you Shmarock, you're different. I look into your soul, and I do not feel your pain. I look into your soul and I fell my pain…MY PAIN! You Ken Shamrock are the source of my suffering…my tormentor. You are the one…the one who takes delight in causing pain for ME!

RAVEN: Shamrock…I do not hold many grudges in this world, but your mind sets itself about my misery. Well…it's time I finished what we started all those months ago. We will fight at Wrestlefest III, and your path to Hell will be complete. You have beaten me every time so far, but now I know enough about you to ge the job done. I know Shamrock that I can stop my sorrow, and I will.

CHAVO: Good to see that I'm not being screwed over by you Kidman. It's about damn time I got some respect! You and me…we're a lot alike Billy! We both aint got no respect, and now it's our time.

Chavo leaves, and the ring clears. We then hear Dangerous (NCPW Produced) play and Ken Shamrock enters the ring. He is soon joined by his opponent. As Pepper (Butthole Surfers) plays, Mikey Whipwreck enters to boos. Before the bell can ring thouhg, Mikey gets on the mic and pulls out his mail.

MIKEY: Let me read to you what these letters say. "Dear Mikey. I have always been a fan of yours, but no longer do I call myself so. Since you started brown nosing Mr. Sutherland, you are no longer my hero."

MIKEY: Here's another one. "Dear Mikey Whipwreck. You impressed me in the Coalition Tournament, but since you have nothing of note, except break the world record for how far up Kiefer Sutherland' ass you can stick your head. What happened to the old Mikey who worked so hard? He wold never have associated himself with a bottom rung actor like Kiefer!"

MIKEY: You want to know? He got smart! I want to make a living in this business, and to do that you need to show respect to those in power. Does that mean I have to kiss Kiefer Sutherland' ass? YES! Does that mean I have to kiss Matt Doyle and Al Snow' asses? YES! What you idiots here dpon't realise is that this is a cut throat business,and all I'm doing is making sure I don't get MY throat cut! I will continue to live how I want to, and I will remain at the top! And to all you who are writing me letter like this…FUCK…YOU! Lets see what else these "samrt" fans are writing…

Shamrock hit a few high impact moves early on, and Mikey was in trouble until he managed to get a low blow in and take control. He managed to get a few near falls on Ken, and looked like he'd win for a while. Shamrock then hit a belly-to-belly for one…two…RAVEN! Raven ran down and Shamrock walked to the ropes as Raven had done earlier. Raven had grabbed a chair and hopped onto the apron, He and Shamrock stood face to face and then…CRACK! Raven nailed Shamrock with the chair! The referee saw it, but the match continues? Shamrock stumbles, and Raven gets in the ring. CRACK! Another! Shamrock stumbles back more. CRACK! A third, and Shamrock is going down….MIKEY ROLLS HIM UP! ONE! TWO! THREE!

Post match, Raven taunts Shamrock and walks off. Mikey meanwhile pulls out a wad of cash from his pants and hands it to the referee! Ace Of Spades (Motorhead) drowns out the boos from the crowd! HHH runs in! Mikey and HHH are going at it! WHIPPERSNAPPER FROM MIKEY! HHH NO SOLD IT! ANOTHER WHIPPERSNAPPER! NO SOLD AGAIN! WHIPPERSNAPPER #3! HHH goes down finally,. And Mikey scarpers!

We return and Danger At The Door (WWF Produced) plays and the crowd cheers for D'Lo Brown. D'Lo doesn't seem too upset about what happened earlier, and is concentrating on his match. Duck And Run (3 Doors Down) plays and "ildat" Robbie Brookside enters the ring. The crowd isn't too hot for the former world champion. In fact, there are only a few cheers audible, the majority of the crowd are not too fussed about the British Legend.

Even though the heat was only up when D'Lo had control, the match was still good. Both guys staed on the mat, which is unusual, and finally, D'Lo hit a Sky High. He then went up top for the Lo-Down, but took his time. Sick Boy ran in and crotched him on the ropes behind the referees back! ROBBIE IS UP! He was playing possum! CROSS-ARMED ICONCLASM! ONE! TWO THREE! Robbie wins to a poor reaction!

ROBBIE: So this is the reaction I'm gonna get? At the PPV, its me, MEN'S and DDP against The Innovators and Yakushiji…well fuck that! If I aint gonna get any reaction from you idiots then I aint working. Dean Malenko can have my spot on the team. And for those few in here that were cheering me…I thank you. Until I get some more recognition though, don't expect me to work on PPVs. And if it's recognition you want, there's only one way to get it…

Back in the ring, we wait and…Die Again (Wolfsbane) plays and Al Snow walks out for the main event. The Green lights fill the arena and Ace Of Spades (Motorhead) hits and HHH walks slowly out.

Al was confident in this one. He took HHH lightly, and every time, he paid for it with HHH taking the advantage back. However, when Al got down to business, he was on top 90% of the time. A Snow Plow only got him a 2 count, and this annoyed Snow. Then he hit a superkick, and again only 2. He was getting REALLY pissed off, and started to make mistakes. Soon enough, he found himself on the wrong end of…GAME OVER! HHH has his finasher! It's over! WAIT! He doesn't make the cover! Why? Because here comes the rest of The Coalition! Doyle, Kiefer and Mieky are all in the ring with baseball bats! The referee is about to ring the bell when…INSIDE (STILTSKIN) PLAYS! RAVEN AND GLEN JACOBS ARE RUNNIGN DOWN THE AILSE! They slide in and…HERE COMES SHAMROCK! The referee rings the bell calling for a no-contest!

All the men in the ring are going at it! Raven and Shamrock fall to the outside and start a brawl up the aisle. HHH and Mikey soon do the same, leaving Glen Jacobs and Al Snow. Al begs off from his former tag partner, and backs right into a post. As Glen picks him up by the throat, Doyle and Kiefer both hit Glen with the baseball bats. Glen drops Al and turns around! He's smiling! He takes a few steps forward, Doyle and Kiefer bail VERY quickly! He turns back to Al and…SUPERKICK! Glen goes down like a ton of bricks! Al gets on the apron and hits the Springboard legdrop, then counts a mock three count for himself! He looks shocked at the events, and then starts dancing around. He gets on the mic.

SNOW: Glen, you know what? Tonight I found out that you're nowhere near invincible! I Don't know why I ever picked you as a tag partner! Hell, after this tonight, I might aswell add a few stipulations to our match! Lets see, all your friends are banned from ringside…and so are The Coalition!

A count down appears on screen. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. WALK ON WATER (Ozzy Osbourne) hits and we see the opening montage of clips. We see names flash up on the screen, with a picture of each wrestler executing their finisher. After a few of these clips, we see the NCPW logo, and as we zoom out we see it is the logo on the ring mat.

As soon as the pyros have finished, WINNER TAKES IT ALL (Sammy Hagar) plays and British Storm come out to a decent ovation. The crowd are slowly getting into the idea of these two as a team. The next team out enter to YOUNG JAGUAR (Thee Michelle Gun Elephant) and are J-Thunder. They seem to be getting more cheers here, probably due to their mini feud with Chris Jericho.

These two teams put on a really good match in the short time they were given. Nearly non-stop high spots here until Ralphus wondered down the aisle. J-Thunder were distracted, and the referee went o sort him out. Jericho meanwhile entered from under the ring and floored TAKA with a chair. "Phase Two" then hit his finisher as the referee entered the ring to make the three count.

SICK: From day one I have worked my ass off in the NCPW, and now I hold the second most important belt in the company. D'Lo, you think you can just walk back into this compant and TAKE what must be earned? HAHAHA! D'Lo Brown, you have your fans. Fans that have D'Lo Brown fever, and it's my job to Cure them of this sickness!

SHAMROCK: Raven…you and me meet again for the last time on Sunday. Well, its time we settled this in a way that means no more flukes can take place. You and me Raven will meet in a two out of three falls match.

JACOBS: Al Snow…you and I have to finish what we started, and Wrestlefest will not be the last time we meet. However, it will be the time I fight for dignity, and trust me Al. Your little stipulations were probably the most stupid thing you could have done.
