June 2003 TV

RAVEN: That easy huh? Al Snow…you beat him for that belt right? Well, I beat him in the field of Barbed Wire. I fought him over many different environments, and each match was a classic. HHH? You beat a tired HHH. You beat him because Al Snow inerfered indirectly. I guess that means you didn't really beat him. Robbie Brookside? HHH pinned him, NOT…not you Glen. I guess the only one of those guys you really beat was Al Snow. Funny thing is…I beat him in a harsher environment, and more times than you. I guess that makes me better, right?

RAVEN: HAHAHAHA! I was the one who got you to where you are today! I KNOW you're weaknesses! And do you know what your biggest one is? Even though I've told you so many times not to be like this…YOU STILL THINK YOU'RE INVINCIBLE! YOU STILL THINK YOU CAN'T BE BEAT! I mean…didn't you stop even once to think WHY I helped you? Don't you even ask yourself WHY I did it now?

This was your usual TV Tag match. Zero-G held the early advantage with their usual double team moves. They even managed to almost hit Modest with the Free Fall, but Eddie Guerrero broke it up with a dropkick that saw Modest land pinning both Zero-G members for a two count. From there, Modest and Eddie took over and eventually finished things up when Modest took Devon Storm out of the game by clotheslining him to the floor, allowing Eddie to Frog Splash Kash for the belt retaining pinfall.

HHH knees Kiefer in the groin and throws him to the floor. He picks him up and goes to ram his head into the table in front of them, but Snow dives over the table and onto Hunter before he can do anything. Al Snow throws ounch after punch on HHH and rams him into the wall head first. Kiefer meanwhile backs off and sits on the floor next to Matt Doyle and Mikey Whipwreck. HHH meanwhile manages to low blow Snow and makes a quick exit. Before he leaves though, he manages to find time to shout…

Juvi used his early advantage well, and scored with a dropkick, a backdrop, a clothesline, and then a drop toe hold flowing into a La Magistral for a two count. The crowd wa showing interest for the high paced action. He then nailed Dave with a Juvi Driver! One…Two…kickout! Juvi leg drops Harris and goes up top. He signals and goes for the 450 Splash…DAVE MOVED! Juvi hit only cold canvas, and Dave fips up! Juvi recovers a little and walks into a right hook! Dave whips Juvi to the ropes and nails a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Juvi is reeling, and Harris wont let up! A Spinning head scissors gets two. Dave gives Juvi a hard bodyslam and goes up top…ELBOW DROP FROM THE TOP ROPE! One…Two…kickout by Juvi! The crowd is getting into the match more now. Juvi low blows Dave and it's a bulldog, but when he picks him up, gets nailed with a reverse DDT. Dave backs up and waits…once Juvi is up…HURACANRANA! One…Two…Shoulder up! Dave stands back a little, and looks to the crowd. He plays a little air guitar, and the crowd start to clap…Juvi gets up…K-RAD DRIVER (EMERALD FROSION)! ONE…TWO…THREE! Dave Harris has won! The crowd is slowly warming to him, but he doesn't have a massive following yet.

ROBBIE: But then…what would be the point of that? So here's what I'm gonna do. Anyone who has seen me in the ring will know that I got the name Wildcat because I can be a real animal in the irng when I want to be…well, with the right incentive, I'll do near anything. Id you idiots wont take notice, then lets see who IS paying attention. From now on, I am your "Heel For Hire!" Anyone in the back who wants a job done, I'll be sitting here at ringside, and you can just come and talk to me and we'll work something out!

BENOIT: Sick Boy…you deserve a lot of credit for what you pulled off at Elimination. I mean…you managed to pin me, in the middle of the ring. I also give you credit because you were ruthless enough to do what it takes to keep hold of that piece of metal. Well, I've given you enough credit. Anybody who has known for as long as you Sick Boy will know that I am all business. So I under-estimated you at the PPV…it won happen again. Just in case you don't get it, I am challenging you Sick Boy to a match at Overdrive. You and me in any match you want. I'll see you there.

SHINE (Motorhead) hits and Chavo Jr. walks down the ramp with his belt around his waist. He gets to the apron, and springboards onto the top rope. He removes his belt and holds it aloft then jumps down. The next thing we hear is PRISONER (Iron Maiden). And at the start of the vocals, out steps…Koji Kanemoto? Chavo looks surprised, and Koji gets in the ring and says something to the ring announcer. We are then informed that Shinjiro Ohtani WAS here, but has left the building. Koji will take his place.

Benoit was on the defensive for the opening moments. However, he managed to nail a desperation dropkick and got back into things. This lead to Sick Boy grabbing a chair from the ringside. Benoit threw Robbie to the outside, and Sick Boy handed him the chair where the referee couldn't see it. Sick Boy then got on the apron next to the ref, and the ref went over to get him down. Robbie got in the ring and smashed the chair over Benoit's head four times. He then ejected the chair from the ring and placed Benoit on the tope-rope as Sick Boy jumped down. When he tried the Cross-Armed Iconoclasm though, Benoit started to punch at him! Sick Boy then got on the apron and started punching Benoit! The referee didn't DQ him and instead ejected Sick Boy. He took long enough though for Robbie to get another chair shot in and nail his finisher for the unpopular win.

Malenko was at ringside cheering Dinsmore on through out. The two went back and forth hitting as large a variety of moves as they could in the time allocated to them. The match played out well to a heated crowd, and the heat became louder still when Benoit walked down the aisle. Maalenko met him half-way and asked him not to ruin Dinsmore's chance. Benot re-assured him and then took his spot at ringside. Sick Boy eventally ended up hitting The Cure. As he was doing so, Benoit mounted the top rope. He then dove off, and nailed a head-butt on Sick Boy just before he could get the three count. Benoit was also hurt by the move.

The crowd were into this, and could feel something was about to happen form the start. "TAZ IS GONNA KILL YOU!" and "FUCK HIM UP TAZ, FUCK HIM UP!" chants broke out at several points when Taz was ahead, but each time, RVD silenced them with his own brand of assault. Rob held a lot of advantage, and Taz got in his fair share of suplexes. The end was an interesting one. As RVD went for a Van Daminator, Taz ducked and locked in a Tazmission. He was very close to the ropes though when he locked it in, so Rob got to the ropes straihgt away. BUT…Taz held the hold on. The referee counted…One…Two…Thre…Four…Taz yelled at him that this was No DQ, so if he got to Five, he couldn't DQ him! The referee went back to the centre of the rng, and RVD passed out! After a minute in the Tazmission, RVD was out cold! The referee checked and confirmed the KO, awarding the match to Taz! The crowd exploded!

HHH & Robbie held the advantage until Robbie had destroyed Mikey with a chair. He then floored Snow, and HHH handed him some money. Robbie gave the crowd the finger and left. HHH then proceeded to beat on Snow. Then Kiefer got in the ring and jumped on HHH's back. BIG MISTAKE! HHH threw Kiefer off and hoisted him up for the Game Over…chairshot to the back by Doyle! HHH drops Kiefer…and no sells! He turns to Doyle, who throws the chair to the side. HHH runs Doyle out of the ring and turns…CHAIRSHOT TO THE HEAD BY AL SNOW! HHH is down! Al hits the Springboard Leg Drop, and it's over!

In the parking lot, we see a car pull up. Out of it steps Chris Jericho and shortly after, Ralphus. Ralphus goes in fron while Jeicho walks a little behind. As they get to the main entrance, we hear "Hey! Chris!" from just behind them, and Jericho rolls to one side. Ralphus dives on top of the guy and pins him down. It's dark and we cannot see his face.

The crowd pops again as they throw the mics back to the ring announcer. POISON (Alice Cooper) hits and Ralphus and Chris Jerihco enter to a big heel pop. Once in the ring though, MANHUNT (Wolfsbane) hits and the crowd gives a small pop to the Bay Side native Dave Harris as he air guitars down the aisle and gets in the ring. He tries to high five Jericho, but Jericho shakes his head and tells Ralphus to do it. Harris is not bothered by this and he and Ralphus high five as The Innovators laugh.

Jericho and Dave are finding their footing as a team. Nothing spectacular from them yet, but solid work. The Innovators controlled the match against the rookie Harris for most of the match until he tagged Jericho in. This was the cue for Zero-G to climb out from under the ring. Nova dove out but they side stepped and he landed heavily on the guard-rail. The referee went out to check on him and he made sure Zero-G went with him. Meanwhile, Kanyon set up the Flatliner…CHAIR SHOT FROM RALPHUS! Ralphus dives out and ref gets back in the ring in time to see Jericho roll-up Kanyon! 1-2-3!

From there, things went all the way of the faces. Taz dominated RVD as Sick Boy stood on the apron. Benoit got a few shots in on RVD too. Eventually, Sick Boy turned to taunt the crowd, and RVD dove at him, tagging him in! Sick Boy was not hapy, but got in the ring and locked up with Benoit. Benoit put on a wrestling clinic with Sick Boy there, and the two chained together move after move before Sick Boy got dumped out of the ring. Outside, he grabbed the TV Title Belt and the FTW Belt. He threw the FTW Belt to RVD and the referee went over to get the belt back…SICK BOY WAFFLES BENOIT WITH THE BELT! He throws the belt to the side and drops Benoit with The Cure. One…Taz gets in the ring…Two…RVD springboards across the ring and nails Taz with a kick…Three!

HHH: I want a real challenge tonight Snow, and here's the deal. The winner of our match will pick the rules for our match at Overdrive. That's right, you and me, and the winner gets to pick the rules for the PPV. Simple enough, isn't it? Well, to get the chance to win those stipulation choices all you have to do is one thing. Make your opponent say two small words. I…QUIT!

This featured ALL six men in the ring at once, and got very confusing very quickly. Somewhere on the outside, Jonny Storm was hit with Total Elimination, but Perry and Krokus were flattened by a Jody Fleisch dive. In the ring, Doug Williams and Rhino hit each other with everything they had, and Doug soon dumped Rhino out of the ring before hitting Saturn with his finishing suplex for the 1-2-3.

RAVEN: Glen…I tutored you. I showed you how to get to where you are. I gave you advice, well…NO MORE! You and me Glen. One on one on PPV. For that we need a special stipulation. You want to prove yourself as the true champion that you think you are? You want to show me how invincible you are? Then I have the perfect stipulation. I have NEVER lost a Barbed Wire match. And so, you and me shall meet in the field of barbed-wire. We shall face off in the bloodiest of matches there is Glen. Can you take it?

W4H took full advantage of his early lead on Raven and applied a solid mat based assault. Raven managed to get back into things though with a low blow that nearly led to an Evenflow DDT. The match back-and-forth for a bit, and Glen Jacobs recovered on the outside. Raven went up top and nailed a double axe-handle on Brookside, sending to the mat. As he went up to repeat the move, Glen tripped him, and crotched him on the top. Brookside then got up and nailed the Cross-Armed Iconoclasm for the 1-2-3!

The Wildcat For Hire celebrates to an unusual amount of cheers fr recent weeks. The crowd were behind him in the match. Glen Jacobs gets back in the ring and offers his hand to Robbie. Brookside looks to the crowd as they cheer, but just brushes past Glen and the cheers turn to boos. The reaction is once again mixed now, but there are still more cheers than normal.

These two under-utilised stars of the NCPW put on a decent showing here tonight. The match went back and forth with various holds and then sped up with Ohtani taking to the air a bit more. The end came when he nailed Dinsmore with a brainbuster and then went up top for a moonsault. As he went for the move, Nick moved and Koji landed hard on the canvas. As he got u, Dinsmore finished up with the German Suplex for the 1-2-3.

DIE AGAIN (Wolfsbane) plays and "Simply Sensational" Al Snow enters to the usual loud heel reaction he gets in the NCPW. He struts down the aisle smiling, obviously happy with his handy work earlier in the night. As he enters, we see footage of him attacking HHH with a baseball bat after his promo earlier on in the show. Snow steps between the ropes and gets on the mic.

As Snow charged up the aisle, HHH readied to hit him with the bat, but Snow slid under hid legs and tripped Hunter. He then turned The Game over and proceeded to lay into him with pounch after punch as the crowd booed loudly. Once he was sure HHH was hurt bad, he got up and danced around a bit before asking the referee for the mic. Snow asks HHH "Do you quit yet?" and HHH…spits in his face! Snow lets HHH up as he wipes his eyes! HHH has that bat…BANG! Snow is dropped from the bat shot! HHH throws the bat aside and picks Snow up…PILEDRIVER IN THE AISLE! HHH has the crowd rallied behind him solidly now! He lifts Snow up and runs down the aisle with him, ramming him into the ring post! Snow is busted open, and HHH is also bleeding already! This is gonna get bloody!

HHH throws Snow into the ring and whips him HARD into the turnbuckle. Snow stumbles out into a back body drop, and HHH follows up with a knee drop to the head. HHH takes the mic. "Do you quit Snow?" Snow replies "Never…" HHH punches Snow around and whips him to the ropes again. This time, a low blow on the way back brings Al Snow to a halt, and HHH hits a kneelift. HHH sits on the hurt Snowman and asks again "Do you quit?" Snow doesn't answer but headbutts HHH! Hunter falls back a little, and Snow rolls to the corner and sits dazed. As HHH advances, Snow pulls himself up and kicks HHH in the midsection. A quick bulldog brings The Game down, and Snow is down too.

The referee looks to both of them and Snow starts to move. He gets himself to his feet and stomps on HHH's head. The ring is getting covered in blood. Snow lifts The Game up and drops him with a Snow Plow. He takes the mic. "Do you quit Game?" HHH breathes deeply and heavily and says "Ffff…ffff…fuck you!" Snow is pissed off at this comment and lays into Triple H with the mic! He asks again. "Do you quit?" Again, HHH replies with "Fuck you!" Snow looks to the crowd who are chanting "TRIPLE H! TRIPLE H!"

Snow shouts into the mic. "QUIT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" He then lifts HHH up and steps back…SUPERKICK…HHH ducked! Snow turns…PEDIGREE! Oth men are down again, but HHH is on his knees. He turns Snow and takes the mic. "Do…do you quit?" Snow replies with "ughh…no…no way." HHH picks him up and nails Snow with the Game Over. HHH ask again "DO YOU QUIT?" Snow says "nnn…no." Just then, the Big Screen flashesd into action, and we Kiefer Sutherland on the screen. He says "Al! Just quit! Let him take the match. You can't fight if you keep this up, so just leave it now and kcik his ass at Overdrive!" HHH asks Al again "Are you gonna do what your Commissioner says, or not?" Snow says "I…I quit." The crowd goes wild.

HHH: At Overdrive we face off again…The rules are simple…We fight in the confines of a steel cage, and Kiefer Sutherland is suspened above the ring in a steel cage. When I've kicked your ass…the cage will lower, and I face Kiefer in a Last Man Standing match. If…IF…you manage to pin me or make me submit in that cage…I will never…ever…go after you or Kiefer again. Those are the rules…so at Overdrive, lets just see how good you are when you play the Game…

WALK ON WATER (Ozzy Osbourne) plays as we cut to the start credits. A new video this time, as the NCPW Logo flashes on and off for a few seconds, and then we go into some clips. Each clip has the NCPW Logo flashing up after it. We see Some clips from recent PPVs, including Glen Jacobs Unabimbing Al Snow, Snow superkicking Robbie Brookside, Brookside nailing Raven with the Cross-Armed Iconoclasm (from last week) and other shots.

DEEP IN THE BLACKEST HOLE (Rage) plays and Nick Dinsmore enters to a good pop, with his trainer Dean Malenko. Malenko is in wrestling gear, so we can presume he is involved in the match tonight. KILLING MACHINE (Wolfsbane) hits and Chris Benoit enters to a loud reaction from the crowd. He steps through the ropes and shakes hands with Nick and Dean. CURE (MetallicA) plays and Sick Boy walks out to the aisle with his belt and a mic.

The longest match on the show this week. Indeed, Sick Boy had to work really hard tonight. In fact, he had to put a lot of effort into avoiding being tagged in against Benoit! So, the other three went about the match for the whole match. In the end, Benoit nailed a tombstone on Malenko, and then went up top for a diving headbutt. Sick Boy tagged himself in, and Benot nailed the move! The referee removed the protesting Benoit from the ring and Sick Boy hit Dean with The Cure for the 1-2-3, and retaining the title.

Throughout the match, JR and Bobby talked about what Snow and Doyle could be up to. Meanwhile, a solid match was assembled in the ring. It was cut short though. A belly-to-belly over the ropes went wrong, and Mikey landed on his elbow. He was visibly in pain when he re-entered, and Shamrock whipped him to the ropes, and Mikey rebounded with a Whippersnapper for the 1-2-3.

This was a strong match again. We started with FoR and The Eliminators. Eiji and Staurn fought for a good four minutes before Kronus managed to sneek in and hit Total Elimination, eliminating FoR early. Dave Harris tagged in and so did Jonny Storm. The two went straight into high speed mode and a few arm drags were thrown until Jonny went up top, and Jericho dumped him off on is head. Dave didn't see what Jericho had done, and presumed he fell! He hoisted Jonny up and hit the K-RAD Driver for the 1-2-3.

The Eliminators vs Dave & Chris was a back and forth affair. Smooth action too. Saturn and Jericho were the legal men, and Kronus tried to sneek in like at the start of the match! Dave dove in and knocked Jericho out of the ring, meaning Kronus took out Saturn! Dave then threw Kronus to the outside and dove onto him! The referee went to check on them, and Jericho re-entered and climbed on the top-rope with a chair…SMASH! Jericho throws the chair out of the ring and makes the cover. The referee is back! 1-2-3!

This ahd pretty much everything you'd expect from these two in a no holds barred environment. Nova managed to get in a double-underhook Rocker Dropper, and a few other innovations before Taz caught him with a Head and Arm Tazplex. From there, Taz took full advantage, and threw Nova around as if he was nothing. To make matters worse for him, Zero-G then ran in. As soon as they got in the ring though, Taz stepped in and threw them back out. As they shouted at Taz, Kanyon came running down the aisle too! He wasn't that hurt after all! As Zero-G turned, Kanyon hit a doble Flatliner on them!

This angers Benoit, and he starts to advance on Sick Boy. Sick Boy steps back a few steps, and Benoit speeds up. Sick Boy ducks past the cmaera man. Benoit soon catches up, and runs past the camera man…BAM! Sick Boy flies back in view with a diving belt shot that takes Benoit down again! Benoit is down with his nose busted open again! Sick Boy stands over Benoit and holds the belt in his face.

Funaki leaves with TAKA, and Kidman soon follows. This leaves Ohtani and Koji in the ring. As Koji slowly recovers, Ohtani looks to the crowd as they cheer. He reaches down and helps Koji up. Koji shakes Ohtani's hand, and Ohtani walks to the other end of the ring and starts to leave. Koji shouts over to him, and starts to walk towards him…OHTANI SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND HITS A SPINNING HEEL KICK! He then lifts Koji up again…DRAGON SUPLEX! Koji is dead! The crowd is showering Ohtani with boos. Ohtani gets on the post and shouts back at the crowd.

HHH: Kiefer Sutherland…tonight you will avoid me. Come Overdrive though, there will be NOTHING that can save you. Not Al Snow…not Matt Doyle…not Mikey Whipwreck…there will be nothing but you and me left one on one in a cage. The rules are simple. You and me fight till one cannot fight anymore. Do you think you can play the game and win? I know you can't. Game Over.

Technically sound action here, and heated too. Every time Raven got on the offensive, the crowd would boo loudly, and then cheer again when Brookside takes control. As Robbie tried his finisher, Raven kicked him in the face. Robbie stumbled back, and Raven jumped down. As he tried a clothesline, Robbie ducked, and applied a full nelson. Low Blow from Raven, and he tries an Evenflow DDT, but Robbie nails a Northern Lights Suplex. E lets go before the pin though and stands waiting for Raven to get up. When he does, Robbie tries a spear, but Raven reverses it into the Evenflow DDT for the 1-2-3. The crowd explodes into a chorus of boos.

DIE AGAIN (Wolfsbane) plays and The Coalition enters to a round of heavy boos from the crowd. They are hated as much as Raven at least. Kiefer is nowhere to be seen. Then, INSIDE (Stiltskin) hits and Glen Jacobs enters with his World Title Belt. The crowd cheers loudly for the World Champ. He waits outside the ring as TIME TO PLAY THE GAME (Motorhead) hits and "The Game" enters to an equally loud reaction.

The guitars start up, and we see a wall of TV screens. Each one is fuzzed. As the drums kick in, each screen turns on to show a different face. We see Al Snow, Raven, HHH, Glen Jacobs, Matt Doyle, Robbie Brookside, Sick Boy and others all on separate screens. As the lyrics start up, we cut to one screen in the middle. This being the biggesat screen, we zoom right in on it, and we see Raven nailing an Evenflow DDT on Al Snow from the archives, followed by his shadow on a crucifix. That then fades to Al Snow nailing the springboard leg drop on Glen Jacobs from Wrestlefest. We fade into HHH hitting Kiefer Sutherland with the Game Over from a past Mettle, and then we see Glen jacobs hitting the Unabomb on Al Snow at Double Jeopardy. We also see NCPW Owner Matt Doyle standing in the middle of the carnage in the ring smiling, and that fades to Sick Boy hitting Benoit with the TV Title belt, and then Robbie Brookside hitting the Cross-Armed Iconclasm on Raven from Mettle. Benoit appears next and nails three German Suplexes on Sick Boy follwed by DDP making Mikey Whipwreck feel the BANG! Meanwhile, Jericho puts the Lion Tamer on Chris Daniels from the archives, and Taz makes RVD pass out on PPV with the Tazmission. The Jackyl Pack then appear nailing their respective finishers on Flames Of Redemption. The screen divides, and The Innovators hit Total Innovation at the same time as The Eliminators hitting Total Elimination, and Zero-G hitting Free Fall. Dave Harris nails a K-RAD Driver at the same time as Mikey hitting a Whippersnapper, and Doug Williams hits his Northern Lights Suplex at the same time as Chavo Jr. hitting his Tornado DDT. We end on a shot of Glen Jacobs standing with the World Title in front of the NCPW logo.

The guitars of Motorhead play and the crowd cheers loudly. As Lemmy kicks in with the vocals, Chavo Guerrero Jr. steps through the curtain. The crowd cheers him as he walks down the aisle with the Cruiser belt held aloft. He talks to the fans as he enters, and then mounts the top turnbuckle and raises the belt. As the chorus is sung, he shouts at Juventud and then hands the belt to the referee and the bell rings.

This was short. It featured Juvy hitting some nice arm drags early on, but trying the move once too many times as Chavo pulls him up into a German Suplex. The two raded off some chain wrestling, and then Juvy took to the air with dropkicks and a crossbody. Chavo ducked to the outside, and Juvy tried a tope. Chavo hit the floor and Juvy went over him. As Juvy got up, Chavo had climbed into the ring and nailed a springboard bodypress. Chvo re-entered the ring and celebrated as the crowd cheered him on.

The motorhead riffs play and the tag team champs step through the curtain. The crowd boos wildly as Eddie Guerrero and Michael Modest taunt the crowd and shine up the belts as they walk down the aisle. Some fans bad mouth them as they walk, and they throw insults back. They step between the ropes, and take position at opposite ends of the ring and stand on the top rope with the belts. Thye music fades, and they call for microphones.

EDDIE: That's right Michael! And then we come to Overdrive. We have to face a team that have not been together for even a month. We face a man who once gave everyone a reason to call him Lionheart, but now is just a washed up loser! We face a man who is nothing more than rookie who was rejected from the 80s, and so now wants to torment us! We are facing two of the biggest losers in the NCPW and are expected to carry them in a two out of three falls match!

MODEST: While the higher up are in the back arguing amongst themselves about a movie star, and I use that term loosely, they're arguing about The Game and double crosses when they SHOULD be thinking about how to reward their tag champions for such great service! Well, you idiots here in Tampa can go to Hell, and so can everyone else in the head offices, because from here we are only going to defend our belts against teams we see fit to!

MODEST: And then you two can go to Overdrive and ose to those no hopers Zero-G too! You two need to get your head sorted, because there aint no amount of cheering from this crowd that's gonna get you these belts. So, if you please Mr. Referee, make sure these belts DO get shined up, `cause if there's any finger marks on them when we get them back, someone is gonna pay!

The usual TV Tag match here. Nova and Kanyon get an early lead, but Modest trips Kanyon as he runs the ropes and the champs take over. They double team Kanyon for a couple of minutes, and get cocky. As they double slam him down and taunt, Kanyon hits a low blow. He then dives and gets the tag to Nova! Nova was on fire, hitting move after move on both tag champs as the crowd go crazy. Then, as he floors Modest and climbs the ropes, Zero-G jump the crowd barrier and give Nova a hard punch with chains wrapped around their fists! The referee was checking on Kanyon and didn't see it! Modest gets up and…TOP ROPE CRADLE SUPLEX! One…Two…Three! The champs retain!

The Jackyl Pack celebrate with the titles while walking up the aisle. They get pissed off though when they realise the crowd isn't paying them any attention but is watching the brawl in the ring. They leave. In the ring, Kanyon nails a Flatline on Kid Kash, but gets a Devon Storm chained fist to the face, sending him to mat. As Devon sees to Kash though, Nova gets up. Double bulldog to Zero-G! As Zero-G get up…TOTAL INNOVATION TO BOTH GUYS! The Innovators have cleaned house, and the crowd is loving it!

HARRIS: You mean you want me to cheat? HAHAHA! No way dude! That's just, like, not me! What I WILL do though is go out there and so totally get a pin without cheating. I'll go out there and hit Rey with everything I've got, and get the one, two, three with the K-RAD Driver. Rey Rey is going down for the fall tonight, and I'm gonna do it fairly! Now, lets rock dude!

As the vocals start, we see HHH hitting Kiefer with the Game Over from various views and clips from matches between Al Snow and HHH. As we get past the first part of the chorus and go into the second verse, we cut into clips of Raven and Glen facing off and beating on each other from various editions of Mettle. The chorus ten begins again, and as we hear "I'm Crucified" we see Raven on a crucifix with his barbed wire crown of thorns. This cuts to Glen Jacobs standing with the World Title belt in a ring with Barbed Wire Ropes. He stands staring at the floor. This fades to Al Snow and HHH in a cage staring at each other from opposite sides of the ring. The two fade out and Kiefer fades into the middle of the ring. We then quickly go through Snow, HHH, Kiefer and Raven three times and fade into Glen again. As Peter "Peavy" Wagner goes into "I'm Crucified" again Glen looks up at the camera and gives a smile. The camera zooms in on the belt, in which is seen the reflection of Raven on the cross again.

The Maiden singer' cover of the David Bowie song hits and Dave Harris steps through the curtain. He is getting a good face reaction from the crowd as he dances around on the ramp, and then turns back to the curtain. He waves his hand, and out comes Chris jericho and Ralphus to boos from the crowd. Jericho shouts something at Dave, who shrugs and just runs down to the ring. He then goes over and shakes Rey Jr. hand andstands on the top rope air guitaring. Meanwhile, jericho takes a mic.

Back in the ring, Dave managed to get back on track with a spinning heel kick, and then whipped Rey Rey to the ropes…Jericho tripped him! Dave went over and shouted at Chris, who shouted back "It's fair if the ref don't see it!" Dave shook his head, and got back to the match only to be rolled up for a two count. Later in the match, when Jericho went to trip Rey again, Dave dove and knocked Rey out of the ring on top of Chris. He then air guitared for the crowd as Rey got back in the ring as Jericho shouted at Dave again.

Dave seemed to be blissfully unaware of what had gone on and happily celebrated with Chris and Ralphus in the ring following the match. He seemed happy telling Chris "see! I did it without cheating!" Chris just nodded along and smiled. They all left the ring together as Dave high fived Chris and Ralphus, then members of the crowd. Jericho just shouted at the crowd and pushed Ralphus in between him and the fans as they walked up the aisle.

The guitars kick in from the song and the lights go off. The entrance ramp becomes engulfed in a blue light and Raven steps through the curtain and stands arms outstretched looking around him as the crowd boos. The lead guitar starts and Raven begins to make his way to the ring. As the vocals start, Raven stops and climbs over the barriers into the crowd. He stands in the masses in the usual pose as the crowd shout at him. He just looks down on them and then gets in the ring. Once in the ring, he sits in the corner of the ring facing the aisle and takes a microphone.

RAVEN: Friday Glen, the fear shall begin to surface and you shall begin to think on what you have let yourself in for. When Saturday comes, the tension will be unbareable and you will not sleep that night for fear that I will come to your window and begin my work. When Sunday comes…you will be nothing more than a shadow of your former self, and by the time you have braved the barbed wire…you will be nothing. NOTHING! YOU HEAR ME GLEN! YOU WILL BE NOTHING! AND I SHALL BE…

RAVEN: …And I shall be king once more. I Glen shall once again be a martyr for those who are outcasts. THOSE WHO CAN APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE TO TEACH! HAHAHAHA! Not like you Glen. You…you are nothing more than a student who cannot, WILL NOT, obey his teacher. And when Overdrive is over, you shall have felt my pain, and heard my writings. You see Glen, I am, always have been, and always will be the one who doesn't fit in. But when you don't fit in, you learn to be ruthless.

JACOBS: A gift? You call it a gift? You wanted to show me what it was like to work from the bottom and get to the top! You wanted to show me how to appreciate things I should not have? Tell me Raven, when did you try to teach me what I already know? All you ever did for me was take me from The Coalition, and then you sat me down outside the buildings in the parking lot and told me about how YOU are the saviour!

Glen walks slowly to the ring, keeping his eyes on Raven all the way. He then steps over the ropes and stands but a few steps in front of Raven. For a few seconds, they stare at each other. The crowd chers the intense moment, and then Glen takes a step back and throws the world title belt down in between himself and Raven. Raven takes his eyes off Glen and looks to the belt, then back up into Glen' eyes.

JACOBS: What's the matter Raven? Haven't you ever seen me like this? Were always so blind to how I can react when pushed? Is that fear I see your eyes? You Raven are the one who is nothing. You can stand in here and preach all night long for all I care, but it wont get you anywhere! I DID WORK! I WORKED MY WAY UP TO THIS LEVEL, AND I WILL NOT BE A LACKEY FOR YOU LIKE I LET MYSELF BE WITH AL! IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO BACK DOWN FROM YOUR LITTLE SPEECHES, YOU CAN GO TO HELL!

Anyway, back in the ring, after some very good technical exchanges from Gary against both men, Gary was thrown to the outside. The heel celebrated and worked the crowd into giving a little heat until Gary climbed back in.Moss and Jon had some sort of plan sorted out and they nailed Gary with a double suplex. As Jon pulled Gary to his feet, Moss ran the ropes and tried an asai moonsault bodyblock. GARY DUCKED! Moss toook out Jon Ryan and doesn't realise it! The referee counts: one…two…three! Moss' foot KO'ed Jon Ryan! Moss celebrates and then turns…GARY STEELE IS THERE! Johnny looks down to see the fallen Jon Ryan, and freaks out!

The closing four minutes were also great action. The two chain wrestled for about two mnutes non-stop, and then Gary caught Moss with a belly-to-belly suplex for a two count. Gary whipped The Vigilante to the corner, and ran in…the referee is pulled in! The referee is down! Gary goes to check on the referee, and starts him getting to his feet. When he turns around…BELT SHOT FROM MOSS! Moss goes up top for his finisher…SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT! One…Two…We've got a new champion…NO! Gary kicks out! The crowd gave him a pop there, and as Moss argues with the referee, Gary pulls himself over…ROLL-UP! One..Two…Kickout! The crowd is getting into it! Moss goes for a clothesline, but Gary ducks it, and pulls him into…GERMAN SUPLEX! One…Two…Three!

A decent match here. Both teams were on the same page and the action went back and forth. The fans were into it, and they KNEW what was going to happen eventually. Right at the end, Shinjiro Ohtani jumped the barriers and entered from the crowd. With J-Thunder taking care of the referee, Ohtani managed to nail his springboard spinning heel kick on Koji. He ducked out and took down Kidman as TAKA finished Koji off with the Michonoku Driver.

Ohtani took it to Page for a few seconds with blows that could kill! DDp managed to power his way back in though, and when Shiniro bailed, DDP hit a tope! He then threw htani back in and went for a Diamond Cutter, but Ohtani sat down, making it a sort of reverse DDT driver. As he celebrated though, Kanemoto got up! He got in the ring and nailed a Tiger Suplex on Ohtain, follwed by a moonsault! The referee caleed for the bell!
