SNOW: Yeah. Just one thing.

SNOW: You sure HE is gonna do what he's supposed to?

KIEFER: Damnit Al, we told you! YES! HE'LL DO WHAT HE'S TOLD!

SNOW: Good. Errm...what's the plan for Unabomb?

DOYLE: I'm sure he can take care of himself.

SNOW: That's the problem. What if he wins?

KIEFER: I don't get it.

SNOW: I'LL HAVE TO FIGHT HIM ON PPV!

DOYLE: If he wins, then we'll give him his shot on TV rather than PPV.

SNOW: Sooooo...are we all sorted then?

Back in the halls, Paul Hemyan is with Rob Van Dam.

HEYMAN: ROB! While HHH and Mike are entering, can I have a few words?

HEYMAN: What are your thoughts on tonight?

RVD: That's simple Paul.Tonight, i'm gonna go out there and show Doug Williams how the Van Daminator is done! He pulled it off on TV, and I do it better. THEN, i'll win my FTW Title shot and go to OVER THE TOP as the challenger. Simple.

HEYMAN: Who do you want to face at OTT?

RVD: Well, i've fought Taz over this title before, so i'd like to try some new ground and show "The Anarchist" why they call me The Whole F'N Show!

"WALK" by Pantera hits and Rob Van Dam walks away from Paul to enter.

Rob Van Dam defeated HHH and Mike Awesome:

a Top-Rope Sitout Powerbomb in 0:15:22.

---And the former Horsemen go to OTT to face the tag champs.

In the back, we see Tiger Mask IV warming up.

"MPRO TIGER MASK IV THEME" hits and Tiger leaves the room.

Meanwhile, Ken Shamrock is walking the halls ready to enter.

"KEN SHAMROCK THEME" hits and he walks through the curtain.

Raven is sitting alone on a box outside a locker room. He looks sombre as usual.

Raven slowly gets up and walks towards the curtain. Before going through it, he turns and looks at the person who is standing behind him. All we see is Raven shaking hands. We do not see who the other person is, only that they are wearing a suit. Raven enters.

No-Time-Limit-Submission Triangle Match (Grudge Match)

Raven defeated Tiger Mask IV and Ken Shamrock:

x Shamrock beat T. Mask IV via the Ankle Lock Submission in 0:15:45

x Raven beat Shamrock via the STF in 0:26:51

---After Raven planted TMIV with an Evenflow, Shamrock snapped on the Ankle Lock. Later on, Raven went for his DDT again, but Shamrock stayed up and put on the Ankle Lock. Raven got to the ropes, and Shamrock shouted at the referee. He turned straight into an Evenflow, then Raven put on the STF for the win.

Post match, Raven picks Shamrock up and hits another Evenflow DDT on him. The crowd still cheer the hardcore loner though, and he exits through the crowd.

In the back, Paul Heyman is with Ralphus.

HEYMAN: Come on! All I want is one lousy interview with Jericho before the match!

Ralphus shakes his finger at Paul and knocks on the door. Jericho walkls through it and hands Ralphus a bottle of...something.

HEYMAN: Chris! Can I please talk to you before the match!

JERICHO: No can do! All my Jerichoholics here in Ohio MUST be entertained!

No-Time-Limit-Match where the title can change hands via DQ or countout (Cruiserweight Title Match)

Chris Jericho defeated Jody Fleisch by disqualification in 0:20:26.

(Chris Jericho won the NCPW Cruiserweight Title.)

---After only two minutes, Jericho went for a cocky pin and Ralphus got in and seemingly hit Jericho. Chris claimed that Jody was working with Ralphus and that he should be DQ, but the referee was having none of it, and Lionheart fought on. When he went for a Lionsault on a standing Jody though, the referee got bumped. This was the cue for Ralphus to take out Jody with a chair! He then gave the bottle of…STAGE BLOOD! Jericho and Ralphus covered Jericho' face with the fake blood and Jericho lies in the corner like he's dazed. Ralphus starts to revive the referee and places the chair on Jody, who is also getting up. The referee sees Jericho covered in "blood" and Jody standing there with a chair and draws his own conclusions, calling for the bell.

Post match, Jody throws the cahir down and protests to the referee. He isn't listening and hands Jericho his title and leaves.

JODY: HEY! JERICHO! What the hell are you doing? Can't you beat me fairly?

JERICHO: What? You cheated! You hit me with the chair! You busted me wide open!

Jericho stumbles around a bit.

JERICHO: And all my Jerichoholics saw it!

Jody turns his back pissed off and goes to leave the ring. Jericho helps him with a belt shot to the back of the head! Jericho and Ralphus exit as Jody recovers.

No-Time-Limit-Match (Tag Titles match)

Shinjiro Ohtani and Koji Kanemoto defeated The Innovators when Ohtani pinned

Kanyon after The End in 0:21:24.

(Shinjiro Ohtani and Koji Kanemoto won the NCPW Tag Team Titles.)

---Key moments included the Japs setting Nova up for The End, but Nova victory rolling out of it, and Kanyon trying the same reversal, only to be Electric chair dropped. In the end, The champs went for Total Innovation, but Ohtani ducked, and both Japs hit their finishers before nailing Kanyon with The End for the win and the titles.

Post match, The Innovators grab the Tag Titles and hand them to Koji and Shinjiro and they shake hands. The crowd approves of this show of sportsmanship.

No-Time-Limit-Triangle Match (TV Title Match)

Diamond Dallas Page defeated Mikey Whipwreck and Sick Boy when DDP pinned

Sick Boy with the Diamond Cutter in 0:20:18.

(Diamond Dallas Page retained the NCPW TV Title.)

---An interesting match with the F8 Winner, The Cruiser King winner, and the losing finalist of both tournaments. The finish was simple. Sick Boy hits The Cure on Mikey and DDP runs the ropes and hits The Diamond Cutter.

Post match, Sick Boy is pissed off, and takes it out by hitting another Cure on Mikey before leaving.

In the back, we see Doug Williams in front of a camera.

WILLIAMS: Tonight is the night that I take what is mine Taz! After all those Tazplexes, it's time for me to take you out! Taz...I CAN beat you, ans SRVIVNG is something YOU should be thinking about when you come face to face with my chaos theory tonight!

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match (FTW Title Match)

Doug Williams pinned Taz with the Northern Lights Suplex in 0:20:04.

(Doug Williams won the NCPW FTW Title.)

---Wild, and crimson masked, both competitors put on a superb show mixing brawling with weapons and technical wrestling. In the end, Taz tried for the Tazmission, but couldn't lock it in, so hit a Tazplex instead. Doug no-sold and surprised Taz with the match winning Northern Lights Suplex for the win and the showdown with RVD.

Post match, Doug celebrats with his belt, when...

ROB VAN DAM IS OUT HERE! He stands in the ring and stares at Doug. Doug stares back and the crowd is going wild. After a good 30 seconds, Rob leaves.

In a locker room, we see Robbie Brookside and Keiji Mutoh.

ROBBIE: Well, good luck man. I'll see you at OVER THE TOP.

Mutoh leaves for his match.

No-Time-Limit-Number-One-Contenders-Match (Top contenders World Title)

Keiji Mutoh pinned Unabomb with the Moonsault in 0:21:50.

---Great outing from both guys. Unabomb is improving, and ready for what I have planned. Keiji did a great job too. Unabomb went for a Unabomb, but Keiji reversed it into a huracanrana for two. He then went up top and hit the Moonsault onto the standing Unabomb for the win and the title shot.

Keiji Mutoh celebrates to the crowd' praise and Unabomb rolls out of the ring and walks to the back pissed off.

In the head offices...

SNOW: Well, looks like I got Mutoh then...unless YOU'RE plan doesn't work.

KIEFER: I don't like that tone.

SNOW: Well, i'm just making sure you know that if the plan doesn't work, then I hold you responsible!

DOYLE: Al...just go will ya. We're ready.

Al leaves and we cut to Robbie Brookside and Keiji Mutoh.

ROBBIE: This is it. It's time for me to prove that I can fight in any circumstances. Keiji? I want you to watch my back for me. I know they're planning something, so be careful, OK?

Keiji nods. Ken Shamrock walks in.

SHAMROCK: Hey Robbie. Good luck. I just wanted to tell ya, i'm watching your back too. They've got Unabomb, matt Doyle, Kiefer and someone else. Keiji can't do it alone.

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-25 Foot-Ladder Match (World Title Match)

Al Snow defeated Robbie Brookside in 0:25:13.

(Al Snow won the NCPW World Title.)

---Here's how it went. Towards then end, Raven ran in! He floored Robbie with an Evenflow DDT. Al took his time getting up though, and Ken Shamrock ran in. As Al climbed the ladder, Shamrock release German Suplexed Raven into the ladder. The ladder fell, and so did Al. Unabomb ran in and he and Raven took out Ken, until Keiji Mutoh ran in and took down everyone with Shining Wizards (jumping knees). Robbie and Al brawled in the middle of the chaos, and Matt Doyle and Kiefer Sutherland ran in with chairs. They took out Keiji and handed Raven a chair. Raven hit Robbie with it and Evenflow DDT onto the chair! Al climbs the ladder to get the belt.

---In other moments in the match, both men took some impressive bumps, including Snow hitting a springboard back brain kick on Robbie while he was climbing, send Robbie to the mat, and Al taking an Iconclasm onto the ladder.

Post match, the Coalition celebrate. Raven is being booed, and walks to the opposite side of the ring to the rest of the coalition with the new world champion...BAM! EVENFLOW DDT! Unabomb turns and...BAM! EVENFLOW DDT! The NCPW Owner and Commissioner both turn to be dropped by a double Evenflow! Raven revives Shamrock, who puts The Ankle Lock on Kiefer Sutherland! The crowd is cheering and chanting "RAVEN! RAVEN!" But...Raven kicks Shamrock and drops him with hi8s patented finisher too! Robbie Brookside and Keiji are up! They're going after Raven, but Raven bails! The crowd doesn't know how to react to Raven now. Robbie and Keiji help Shamrock to the back as Raven sits in the crowd. The show goes off air with the camera on Raven.
