OVERDRIVE 2003

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 then 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.

As soon as the familiar riffs of the 3 Doors Down hit plays, the crowd cheers for one of the most popular teams in NCPW history. The Innovators step through the curtain, and stand either side of the aisle, avoiding the hole in the middle. They walk down either side of the ramp way and high five the fans as they enter. They get to the ring and stand at opposite ends; both climb a post and raise their arms. The crowd cheers as the music fades. They take a mic each.

The bell rung and the two teams started a tug of war with the chains. With no one coming out on top, they proceeded to move in closer. Nova and Kid Kash were soon brawling on the outside of the ring, with Kash gaining an advantage by dropkicking Nova' knee and laying into it with the chain. Meanwhile, Kanyon and Devon tried to get each other into position for a big move, but in the end, it was Kanyon who got the advantage. When Devon went for a right hook, Kanyon ducked, and turned, then hoisted Devon up onto his back and choked him with the chain.

When he saw this, Kid Kash tried to get in to help, but when he tried a springboard move, Nova pulled on the chain and crotched Kash across the top rope. Meanwhile, Devon managed to roll himself off Kanyon' back and nailed a DDT. Nova and Kash were soon back In the ring. Nova took Kash down with a piledriver and then proceeded to dropkick Devon Storm. Nova then helped Kanyon up, and they tried Total Innovation on Devon. Devon instead floored Kanyon with a chain assisted punch, but got hit with a Nova Kryptonite Krunch. One…Two…Kash pulls nova off via the chain. Kanyon rolled on top as Kash nailed a Money Maker on Nova. Kanyon with the cover…One…Two…Kash drops the leg on Kanyon. Kash goes back to cover Nova, but only gets a two. Kanyon meanwhile works on Devon some more with a bodyslam and a dragon sleeper. This gives Kash a chance to nail Nova with a hurucanrana and then take off the chain!

Kash is free, and he stops Kanyon delivering a Flatliner to Devon Storm by hitting a Money Maker. He then takes off Devon Storm' chain too! With the chains off, Zero-G have much more freedom of movement, and drop Kanyon with a double clothesline. They then turn to Nova and hit a Free Fall on him. One…Two…Broken by Kanyon! Zero-G get up and avoid a double DDT by hitting a double low blow! Free Fall to Kanyon! Nova is getting up too…FREE FALL TO NOVA! One…Two…Three! The arena boos loudly!

When Kanyon gets up, he sees Zero-G celebrating up the aisle. He looks a little frustrated, but goes and tends to Nova. He helps Nova get the chains off, and helps him to his feet. Nova is a little groggy. Kanyon helps him walk around the ring a little, and Nova gets a little steadier. Once he's sure Nova s fine…FLATLINER TO NOVA!

This was everything you'd expect from these guys. They started off with a crisp sequence of moves: Chavo arm drags Kidman, only to be Japanese arm dragged by TAKA, but TAKA gets nailed with a Kidman crossbody. Kidman gets up and Chavo dropkicks him over the ropes. TAKA responds by diving out onto Kidman, and Chavo does the same to TAKA!

In the ring, Chavo set up one of the table by the post nearest to him. Kidman and TAKA both climbed in the ring, and started to double team the champ! A double dropkick, then a double hip toss. Kidman then proceeded to hit a Kid Krusher on Chavo! TAKA went and set up a table in the corner. TAKA and Kidman then hoisted Chavo up and nailed a double suplex, and followed up with TAKA then Billy hitting an elbow. The two taunt as Kai En Tai used to. This led to TAKA and Kidman high fiving, but TAKA turning on Kidman with a kick to the midsection, then a hurucanrana. This led into a spinning head scissors from Mr. Michinoku, and then a spinning back elbow. One Michinoku Driver through the table and Kidman was gone!

This left us with TAKA vs Chavo. Chavo got to his feet and the two circled before going into a sequence of chain spots. Chavo with a wristlock, roll and TAKA has one of his own, hammerlock by Chavo, and TAKA nails a drop toe hold. TAKA pulls the champion up and tries a spinning heel kick, but Chavo hits the mat and nails one of his own on TAKA. A powerbomb means Chavo has TAKA down, and Chavo sets up a table again. This means there are two tables set up now. Chavo picks TAKA up and tries to whip him, but TAKA reverses and Chavo goes flying into one of the tables. The table falls to the outside. TAKA hits Chavo with move after move, including some smooth high flying moves. He then pulls Chavo over to the table and lays him on it. TAKA goes up top, and…CHAVO CROTCHES HIM AND ROLLS OFF THE TABLE! Chavo takes a few steps back and then runs forward. He spring up onto the top rope and hits TAKA something resembling a DDT through the table for the win!

DOYLE: First of all, the match the Hammerlock guys had on TV was one of the best TV matches we've had in a long time! I guess that means they CAN wrestle. And another thing…if they can't wrestle, they surely can't train people too well either. Let me see here…Doug Williams…Jody Fleisch…Jonny Storm…say, didn't you three get trained by Hammerlock? In fact, you three were in Hammerlock for some time I believe! So I guess that means you three can't wrestle either! And as for you Robbie…just because Hammerlock and the TWA didn't exactly see eye-to-eye as far as doing inter-promotional stuff goes…that doesn't give you a right to come out here and run your mouth about them slagging them off in front of all these people!

DOYLE: So I tell you what Wildcat, you bring your little buddies there along to the next edition of Mettle and we'll see what we can do about your little complaint. But I will warn you this now Robbie…if you step out of line again, like you have done tonight…I will be forced to take things that one step further. And believe me Robbie…you don't want to push me.

RVD: As all you people should know by now…I am the Whole F'N Show, and as such I am the best damn performer on the NCPW Roster! What does that mean? Well, it means that I am gonna kick Taz's ass tonight in quick time and then I'm gonna go and celebrate with all my loyal fans. Why? Because…(pointing to himself)I'm Rob Van Dam!

After the tope, RVD went to work with some swift kicks to Taz. With the champion reeling, he nailed him with a chair to the head. Taz was dropped like a ton of bricks. Instead of making a cover though, RVD grabbed the title belt from around Taz' waist. He then proceeded to enter the ring and hold the belt above his head, pointing to himself like he always does. When he turned back to Taz, Taz was up and in the ring. Belly-to-belly Tazplex! RVD just landed on his head! Cover by Taz…One…Two…In the ropes. Taz, unlike RVD, is all business. He picks The Whole F'N Show up and nails another suplex, this time a head and arm one. RVD rolls out of the ring to regroup briefly as the crowd start a large "Taz is gonna kill you!" chant, and Taz stands arms crossed in the ring. RVD decides to sow Taz what FTW is all about, and reaches under the ring. He pulls out a few "toys" and throws them in the ring.

RVD gets back in the ring and Taz stands his ground. Rob is surprised by this attitude, so he grabs a baseball bat. He takes a swing at Taz, but Taz ducks and spins RVD around…GERMAN TAZPLEX! One…Two…kickout by RVD! RVD ducks out of Taz' reach and grabs a VCR. As he tries to hit Taz with it though, Taz ducks under and nails a leg drag. RVD rolls away hurt, and the crowd goes nuts for Taz. RVD looks around, and shakes the humiliation off. He grabs his favorite weapon, the chair. He takes a few swings at Taz with this, and Taz moves from each. Then RVD throws the chair to Taz. Taz catches it, but throws it back. Taz tries a dropkick into the chair, but RVD ducks it. Taz gets up and RVD throws him the chair, this time hitting the Van Daminator! Taz is down! One…Two…in the ropes! This time, Rob Van Dam goes to work on Taz, and nails a series of stomps on the Human Suplex Machine. He then picks Taz up and whips him into the ropes. A thrust kick finds it mark, and Taz is down again, this time bleeding from the nose. This blood seems to make Taz pissed off. When RVD tries another whip, Taz reverses it. Taz tries the clothesline, and RVD rolls under it. Taz turns…Thrust kick again! Taz is bleeding badly now, and is REALLY pissed! Rob Van Dam points to himself as Taz gets slowly to his feet. Once he's up…THRUST KICK…NO! Taz caught the leg! Single Leg Tazplex! RVD just got dumped on his head again! Taz grabs RVD' leg and drops the elbow. He then hits a slingshot into the post! RVD stumbles back out, and Taz runs in with an overhead belly-to-belly! RVD is hurting!

As RVD gets up, Taz charges in with the clothesline. RVD rolls under and hits a backslide! One…Two…kickout by Taz. High Leg Clothesline by RVD! Taz gets back up AGAIN, but is floored with a Japanese Arm Drag, then a normal Arm Drag. A piledriver follows, and RVD follows through with a Rolling Thunder! RVD points to himself and reminds the crowd that he is in fact Rob…Van…Dam! RVD positions Taz in the center of the ring and goes up top. Five Star Frog Splash! It's Over! One…Two…ThrNO! Shoulder up by Taz! RVD means business! He drops Taz with a bodyslam and places him in the corner with a chair on his face! RVD runs to the other side of the ring…VAN TERMINATOR! Taz' nose just exploded! His face is covered in blood from his nose and forehead. One…Two…ThreeNO! Foot on the ropes by Taz! RVD says it's over again, and places Taz in the corner. Another Van Terminator maybe? RVD takes flight…TAZ THROWS THE CHAIR AND IT HITS RVD IN THE FACE! RVD stumbles up, as does Taz! RVD takes a swing for a punch, but Taz swings him around from it! FULL NELSON TAZPLEX! RVD gets up…Taz clotheslines him over the ropes! Taz goes to the outside, and RVD throws him a chair! Van Damintor…ducked by Taz! T-BONE TAZPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE! One…Two…Three! Taz retains!

RVD: Whoa there! Just shut up for a moment! Taz…I give you credit…you managed to get another lucky win on the Whole F'N Show. But that doesn't matter. You can have your low status belt. The Whole F'N Show is gonna win the F8 Tournament instead and go after the TV Title! Why? Because I'm Rob Van Dam! The greatest TV Champion in ECW history, and as a result, I'm gonna rule the NCPW in the same way!

HEYMAN: OK, since the camera is now on, here's what will happen. In this machine are the names on all the entrants in the F8. Most of the roster form NCPW and Hammerlock are in here. In the case of The Jackyl Pack and Chris Jericho and Dave Harris, if a name comes out, the loser of their match tonight gets the slot. Also, last year' winner Diamond Dallas Page automatically gets into the qualifying matches. Now…are their any…

DOYLE: Yep, The Jackyl Pack are a dirty team. BUT…Dave and Jericho could easily pull this one off! Here's some more stuff for you people at home! Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho are former tag partners from Japan AND the old WCW. Not to mention that they have had many matches in the past. They know each other pretty well, so that could be a decisive factor in this match. Meanwhile, Micheal Modest and Dave Harris are the future of the business! This is going to be a great match!

The guitars start and slowly take us into the song. The drums kick in and Chris Jericho and Dave Harris step through the curtain closely followed by "Roadie" Ralphus. The three stand at the top of the aisle in a rock band like pose as we wait for the lyrics. Numerous fans take photos. AS the lyrics start they start to walk towards the ring. Dave (as always) air guitars along with the music. Meanwhile, Chris Jericho talks over some strategy with Ralphus. The team enters the ring with Ralphus and they stand behind him as Jericho grabs a mic.

JERICHO: …now don't you boo me! I am your ICON! I am your hero! I am Lionheart Chris Jericho! And as I was saying, my Jerichoholics out there KNOW that me and Dave Harris are going to the top tonight! So who are we facing? The Jackyl Pack? Let me see…Micheal Modest? Weren't you "The Natural" a while back? Yeah that's right Micheal Modest, the Natural Loser! And who else is it? Eddie Guerrero? Now Eddie, you were once one of the best in the world, but ever since the Latino Heat stuff…well, I won't go there! I…

EDDIE: You know what Chris? I am sick and damn tired of this shit! When we were a team it was YOU running your mouth that was responsible for us losing. I mean, lets review who's better off here. I have a partner who pulls his weight, not drags it! I have a partner who could kick the ass of just about everyone in the NCPW if he so desired. And you?

The referee gets Ralphus and Harris to leave the ring and Eddie enters to face Jericho. The two circle a little and both go the mat. They then both get up and grapple. Bodyslam by Eddie Guerrero! Eddie taunts Chris. Another tie-up leads to and Eddie arm drag. Eddie shouts at his former friend some more. The next grapple situation leads to Jericho being drop toe holded! Eddie taunts him again. This time Chris gets up and gives Eddie the fnger! Eddie gets a maddened look on his face and charges in…Bodylslam by Jericho! Arm drag by Jericho! Drop toe hold by Jericho and Jericho slaps Eddie' head as the crowd cheer!

Eddie rolls over and tags out to Modest. Modest steps in with a serious yet somewhat confident look on his face. He and jericho go to tie up, but Modest ducks under and celebrates for the crowd. Another attempt, and the same result, this time with Modest pointing to Dave Harris! Jericho points to Dave and the crowd cheers. Jericho tags out.

Dave Harris and Modest are in the ring. Harris and Modest circle, and Modest ducks another tie-up. He seems overly cocky and the crowd are booing. They try to tie-up again but Modest ducks out. He turns…SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM HARRIS! Modest is reeling! Harris nails a Japanese Arm Drag, and then a hurucanrana! Modest falls back into the corner and Harris runs in with a handspring elbow! Snap mare by Harris and he drops the leg…Modest moves! Modest fires back with a snap suplex, then a leg drop of his own. One…Two…kickout by Harris. A sidewalk slam by Modest and he gains another two count. When he tries the same move again though, Harris reverses with a spinning head scissors! Harris goes up top…EDDIE TRIPS HIM! Harris is crotched across the top rope! Modest nails a top rope Cradle Suplex…One…Two…Three! The Jackyl Pack lead 1-0!

Jericho doesn't allow the champs any time to celebrate, as he jumps straight in and nails a dropkick on Modest. A clothesline sends him to the outside and Jericho topes him! Jericho gets back in the ring and goes over to check on Harris. Meanwhile, Modest tries to get back in the ring, but Jericho instead nails another dropkick. Eddie jumps the ropes to get in, but Jericho takes him out with a kick to the midsection followed by a double-underhook backbreaker! Eddie rolls out of the ring, and Modest gets back in! Eddie jumps back in with the tag belts and Harris dives in flooring Eddie! Eddie managed to slip Modest one of the belts though! Jericho ducks a belt swing and hurucanranas Modest! A lionsault connects, but there is no referee! He's dealing with Eddie. Meanwhile, Dave Harris jumps in the ring. Modest tries another belt shot, but again Jericho ducks. The swing causes Modest to turn…BELT SHOT FROM HARRIS! Dave grabs both belts and ducks out of the ring as Jericho hits an inside cradle! One…Two…Three! We're at 1-1!

Eddie jumps in and complains to the referee. When the referee checks o the belts, they are already back at the announce table though! Jericho takes Eddie down and tries the Lion Tamer, but Eddie is already in the ropes. Modest had grabbed the tag belts and the referee hasn't seen it, but Harris has! Harris charges after Modest while Eddie and Jericho start to exchange holds! Harris is taken out with a diving belt shot! The referee goes to check on Harris, and Modest sneaks in the ring…BACKDRIVER ON THE BELT! Eddie up top…FROG SPLASH! Eddie covers the belt with his arm while the referee counts! One…Two…Three!

Sick Boy is on top of Benoit laying in with punches as the bell rings. He is unrelenting and shows no mercy to Benoit. He then gets up and starts to stomp on Benoit' face. Benoit' nose is busted open again. Sick Boy takes this opportunity to piledrive Benoit and taunt the crowd. He then goes to the outside to get the ladder.

Back in the ring, the two men start a mass brawl. Fists and feet were flying and neither was really gaining any ground on the other until Sick Boy took a swing, missed, and was German Suplexed into the upright ladder! Sick Boy was now the one hurting! Benoit picked Sick Boy up and slammed him hard on the ladder, this time following up with a leg drop. Benoit then sets the ladder up. He begins to climb, but Sick Boy stands up! Sick Boy is under the ladder and shoves it to the side, sending Benoit crashing across the ropes. Sick Boy sets the ladder up, and climbs half way up…DROPKICK TO BENOIT! Benoit goes crashing to the outside! Rather than capitalising on this, Sick Boy also goes to the outside!

Outside the ring, Sick Boy nails a clothesline on Benoit and then throws him into the crowd! Here, they brawl again, and again Benoit comes out on top this time with some stiff chops that send Sick Boy back onto the ground. Sick Boy is up and does an eye rake, and then grabs a fan' chair! SMASH! Benoit is down! Sick Boy throws the chair in the ring! Sick Boy throws a fan off his seat and throws his chair in the ring too! Every now and then Sick Boy would hit Benoit with the chair, and eventually there was about twenty chairs piled in the ring! Sick Boy grabs Benoit and pulls him into the ring!

In here, Sick Boy slams Benoit onto the chairs! He then picks him up again and drags him up the ladder! With Sick Boy on one side, and Benoit on the other Sick Boy tries to throw Benoit off on the chairs…BENOIT FIGHTS BACK! Benoit slams Sick Boy' head on the ladder, and he falls from the top of the ladder and lands on the chairs! MY GOD! Benoit then stumbles a bit and reaches for the belt. Sick Boy forces himself up and throws a chair, catching Benoit over the head! Benoit falls on the chairs and Sick Boy collapses!

With both men down, the referee counts. One…Two…Three…Sick Boy rolls to the outside. He takes the TV Title Belt! Not again! This happened last month! As Benoit gets up, Sick Boy dives, flooring Benoit with the belt, but lands on the chairs hurting himself again! Sick Boy rolls over and slowly begins to climb the ladder as the referee throws the chairs out of the ring. Sick Boy is almost on the top, but Benoit is up and climbing fast! They are on top again! Once more, Benoit throws Sick Boy off the ladder! Benoit is up top! He could grab the belt! NO! He looks to the crowd and then lets fly with a Diving Headbutt! Sick Boy' nose is busted open! Benoit slowly starts to move to the ladder, but Sick Boy grabs his legs and tries to take him down. Benoit smiles, and picks Sick Boy up! One German Suplex…Two German Suplex…Thre German Suplex…Four German Suplex…FIVE GERMAN SUPLEXES! Benoit grabs Sick Boy…HANGMAN! Sick Boy is hung in the ropes as Benoit climbs! Benoit is nearly up the top of the ladder when Sick Boy gets free! Sick Boy is on the apron…SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK SENDS THE LADDER CRASHING DOWN! BUT BENOIT IS HANGING ON TO THE BELT! He could win it! Sick Boy grabs the ladder and swing as Benoit! Benoit falls from the belt and the match is still on.

My God…both men are bleeding badly from the nose, and both are slowing! Sick Boy grabs Benoit…CURE! NO! Benoit stayed up and took Sick Boy down by the legs! He tries the crossface! SICK BOY IS IN THE CROSSFACE! HE'S SLOWLY PASSING OUT! After about a minute, Sick Boy stops tapping and stops moving. Benoit sinches backa bit then lets go. He grabs the ladder and sets it up. He starts climbing slowly. As he gets to the halfway mark, Sick Boy gets up! He floors the ladder, and grabs the fallen Benoit! CURE ON THE LADDER! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AGAIN!

Once both me are up, Sick Boy starts hitting Benoit with punces, and then runs the ropes. IN a desperation move, Benoit throws the ladder at Sick Boy! Sick Boy catches round the head and falls to the outside! The camera shows him to be busted open very badly! Benoit meanwhile sets the ladder up and starts to climb. By the time Sick Boy is up, Benoit is at the top trying to loosen the belt! Sick Boy pushes the ladder over…BENOIT GOT THE BELT OFF AND FALLS WITH IT, HITTING SICK BOY ACROSS THE HEAD!

Sick Boy is out cold, and covered in blood as the medics arrive on the scene and stretcher him out. Benoit meanwhile is being helped up by the referee and he leans against the post with his belt. The crowd cheers crazily as he holds the belt aloft! Once he has left, the ring crew set up the cage as the smaller cage lowers down.

HHH charges the ring as soon as the music hits and makes a beeline for Kiefer, who promptly dives into the small cage and is raised above the ring. As HHH watches Kiefer rise up, Snow tries a cheap shot, but HHH turns to see him, and Snow backs off. The cage stops above the ring and Snow and HHH stare each other down.

The two then tie up, and push about a bit before breaking off. Al leans back on the ropes briefly, and then surprises HHH with a leg takedown. He then drops the elbow on the leg. Al drags HHH across the ring and locks his leg between the rungs of the cage. He then stomps the leg a little, with HHH is obvious pain. Al looks up and gives Kiefer the thumbs up. Kiefer is seen to be happy. Meanwhile, HHH has got loose, and has grabbed Al' leg. Al stomps his head, and he lets go. As Al runs back in to drop the leg, HHH moves, and pulls himself up and lays in with the stomps. The crowd is going crazy as HHH stomps Al and then pauses. He looks up at a distraught Kiefer Sutherland, and then hits Al with a HARD kick to the head.

Kiefer can be seen to be in distress as HHH takes control over Al with move after move. A slingshot into the cage, followed by a knee to the face brings Al down and busts him open. HHH then climbs the post and drops another knee on the prone Snow. HHH had solid control for the next four minutes, and claimed near falls with a hip toss into the cage, a top rope clothesline, and a Pedigree.

Al managed to get back into things with a low blow and attempted a crucifix. HHH kept on his feet, and hauled Al up…GAME OVER! Kiefer is looking incredibly worried right now! The referee counts. One…Two…ThreNO! Al got a foot through the cage! Kiefer looks relieved, and HHH steps back. As he goes for a knee drop, Al sits up! The crowd boos, as he locks a scissored Dragon Sleeper on The Game. HHH is fading, and Al releases the hold. He then picks HHH up and drops him with the Snow Plow. This only gets a two count, so Al backs up and…SUPERKICK…NO! HHH ducked! HHH runs back in with the clothesline…ducked by Snow…SUPERKICK! One…Two…ThreNO! HHH gets a shoulder up! Kiefer is encouraging Al, and…Matt Doyle has left the announce position? What's he up to?

Matt Doyle is shouting in to Al. He then reaches under the ring and grabs a chair. He throws it into the cage! Snow picks up the chair and waits for HHH to rise…BAM! HHH is stumbling! BAM! HHH is on one knee! BAM! HHH is down and busted wide open! He is bleeding like a faucet! HHH is dead! Kiefer seems incredible happy right now. HHH is not moving at all, as Al goes for the cover. The referee counts. One…Two…Al pulls HHH up! He rams HHH into the cage, flooring him again. Al then talks to Matt Doyle, and climbs the cage? If Al leaves the cage, HHH has won! What is he doing?

Al is at the top of the cage, and he sits on top, he waits, and as HHH slowly gets to his feet, Al mounts the top of the cage. With perfect balance, he points to Kiefer and shouts "This ones for you Kiefer!" Al gets ready to leap off onto HHH Randy Savage style, but looks to Kiefer again, and…gives him the finger? Al is climbing out of the cage! What is he doing? HHH looks confused as Al leaves the reign and loses the match! Kiefer looks pissed off right now. Meanwhile, HHH collapses in the middle of the ring.

DOYLE: Yeah, that's it Kiefer, you keep that up. I BROUGHT YOU INTO THE NCPW AS THE COMMISSIONER! And what did you do? How did you thank me? YOU TOOK OVER! YOU booked matches, YOU told people what to do, YOU told me what to do…and you know what REALLY pissed me off? YOU took my comfy chair behind the OWNER' DESK!

Kiefer suddenly seems to remember what the stipulation was, and slowly turns to be face-to-face with HHH! HHH has a maddened look in his eyes as he grabs Kiefer by the collar! He then proceeds to throw Kiefer into the cage! He rams Kiefer' head into each turnbuckle in turn, and then nails a Pedigree! The referee counts. One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six…Seven…Eight…HHH shakes his head!…Nine…HHH lifts Kiefer up! A suplex is followed by a knee drop. Kiefer isn't moving. The referee counts, and again, HHH picks Kiefer up at nine. HHH nails a Game Over! The referee counts, and HHH AGAIN picks him up at nine! He props Kiefer up in the corner, and knees him in the face. He then grabs Kiefer and slaps him a little bit. When Kiefer comes to, he doesn't even have time to think! HHH rams him HARD into the cage! Kiefer falls back slowly, and lands flat in the ring. This time the referee gets to ten, and HHH is declared the winner!

As the crowd cheers, HHH slowly gets to his feet. Meanwhile, medics haul Kiefer out of the ring and on to a stretcher. HHH looks on, and embraces the crowds cheers. Matt Doyle then steps into the ring and he and Kiefer stare at each other briefly. Matt Doyle then raises HHH' hand in victory as the crowd goes crazy. On the outside of the ring, Al Snow stands in the aisle and watches the in ring action. Doyle calls for a mic and one is passed to him.

SNOW: Catch? There is no catch. What I did tonight was kill two birds with one stone. Kiefer Sutherland had become someone I despise, and so I needed him gone. Meanwhile you Game…you know as well as all these people here that I hate you! This way, I got to take out Kiefer, and take you out to. The only thing is, I didn't finish things with you.

SICK: Believe it or not Chris Benoit…you've done me a favour. Now that you have the TV Title Belt, I can move on. I held that belt for four months Benoit, and those four months were hard. I fought every damn challenger that stepped in front of me. And you…YOU STUCK WITH IT TILL YOU GOT THE BELT! And now you have it…I hope you're happy Chris. I hope you can handle holding the title.

SICK: HAHAHA! You know what Paul? I do have some plans. I have an idea as to what to do now. It's time for Sick Boy to move on up the ladder some more and take a step in the direction of a much bigger prize. Now…HOW do I do that? I have a plan Paul, and once I pull it off, I'm gonna be making a name for myself like no one ever thought I would!

SICK: You always this quick Paul? I think I can see why ECW went out of business. Sick Boy is ready for new challenges. This means that Sick Boy is going after the World Title. Yes Paul, that's right. I want the world title. Now…WHO would be a perfect person to start with before I go after the champion? It seems to me that a former champion might be the best place to start, don't you think so Paul?

SICK: Good! Good to see we agree here! I am moving on up in the NCPW, and there isn't one single wrestler in this damn federation that can stop me gaining the prize I desire. There never has been a wrestler in the NCPW that was as good as me, AND THERE NEVER WILL BE! I WANT EVERYONE IN THE BACK TO HEAR ME RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE YOU WILL ALL NEED TO MARK THESE WORDS…I have worked from the bottom, and I've worked hard…and now that I am where I am, I can do things how I want to. The rules don't exist as far as I'm concerned, and none of you idiots back there can stop me from reaching my ultimate goal. So…as a message for that one former champion that I'm gonna take on and make his life a misery…be warned. I'm coming your way, and you ain't gonna be able to stop me or move out of the way, `cause this is MY TIME TO SHINE DAMNIT!

JR: You're right there Brain. This is the sixth barbed wire on NCPW PPV. The original came at the second PPV when Raven pinned Al Snow to retain the NCPW World Title. The other five were from the FTW division' blood and guts era with Atsushi Onita. Of those, Onita lost one, and won four. The only similarity between all these matches is this…they are NOT for the faint of heart.

The music begins and a blue light covers the ramp way. After about twenty seconds, a crucifix ascends through the stage with a lone figure on it. The man stays on the cross and appears to be writhing. When the main riffs play, Raven steps off the cross and walks down the aisle as the crowd boos and the singer adds vocals to the effect. As we hear the line "Victim of darkness…Born to shun the light!" Raven rolls under the barbed wire ropes and kneels in the middle of the ring. As the chorus finishes, the lights slowly turn on, and we can see Raven is smiling and is wearing his barbed wire crown of thorns. He stands and backs himself into a corner.

The usual choir style opening is followed by the guitar riffs the crowd are familiar with as Glen Jacobs steps through the curtain to a standing ovation and is carrying his belt on his shoulder. As he walks down the aisle, Raven steps out of the corner and throws his "crown" to the side. He walks to the centre of the ring as Glen steps over the wire and into the ring. Glen walks forward and is standing in front of Raven. The music fades out. The two seem to be exchanging a few words. The bell rings.

The two stand in the middle of the ring. Raven shows little emotion, and unlike some past opponents of Glen, he shows no fear. Glen takes one step back and then lays the belt out across the ring in the middle of them. Raven keeps his eye on Glen, and for one moment looks down to the belt. As he does so, Glen gives him a big boot to the face! Raven goes flying and rolls back onto his knees. He looks frustrated. As Glen Jacobs flexes his muscles and poses for the crowd though, Raven smiles and claps the move. Raven gets to feet as Glen kicks the belt out of the ring.

Raven circles Glen a bit, and Glen remains static, following Raven with his eyes. Once Raven realizes that Glen ain't gonna play his games, he stops and rolls under the barbed wire to the outside. He jumps the barrier and takes a chair from one of the fans. He then places it down outside the ring. Raven reaches under the ring and pulls out a garbage can.

Glen Jacobs steps forward and stands looking over the fallen Raven. He doesn't do anything, just stands and stares for a while as the crowd cheer for him.

Meanwhile, Raven is getting up slowly in the ring.
