Perry Saturn vs. Paul London


Paul London surprises Saturn with an armdrag, although that only looks to upset Saturn. London tries a couple of blows and Saturn just levels him with a forearm to the head. Saturn beats on London before sending him off the ropes. London ducks a clothesline and catches Saturn with a dropkick! London comes off the ropes again but runs right into a Saturn elbow to the face. Saturn tosses London over the top rope, but London lands on the apron. London ducks a clothesline, but Saturn hits him with a second attempt that sends London flying off the apron with a backflip, with his face landing hard on the floor! Saturn slams London into the steel steps before rolling him back into the ring.

Saturn whips London into the corner, to which London hits face-first and stumbles out backwards. Saturn sweeps London. Saturn locks in a hammer lock and pulls London to his feet, then drops him with a modified neckbreaker. Belly-to-belly throw from Saturn sends London across the ring. Saturn toys with London a bit before sending him off the ropes. Backdrop attempt is countered as London leaps over Saturn for a sunset flip! 1…2…Saturn kicks out as we almost had a big upset! London comes off the ropes again and leaps onto Saturn’s shoulders…but Saturn counters and drives London head-first into the canvas with the Death Valley Driver! Saturn quickly transitions into the Rings of Saturn, and London is completely out.

Winner: Perry Saturn by submission in 5:14

Saturn
gestures to his waist and yells out “I’m coming for you Rey!” as he walks up the ramp.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Scott Hudson
: “We’re just two weeks away, Mike Tenay, Cyberslam will be live on Pay-Per-View on September 1. For the first time in history, our deditcated fans will be in the driver’s seat, casting their votes on who steps into the ring and the type of matches we’ll see. One thing we know for sure, either Booker T or Kurt Angle will step up to challenge Triple H for the coveted WCW World Championship. The power is in your hands, folks. Who do you want to see battle for the gold?”

Mike Tenay: “
Absolutely, Scott, and there’s more. Rumor as it we’ll also be treated to an all-out Battle Royal. The last man remaining will earn an immediate shot at the WCW United States Championship, currently held by Christian. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. You spoke about Booker T and Kurt Angle. The man who doesn’t get the world title opportunity will get a second chance at glory as they’ll be thrown into the mix of this battle royal. Stay tuned for more updates on Nitro and RISE as we get closer to Cyberslam!

Big headbutt from Meng staggers Dupree. Meng slams Dupree then grabs the trapezius muscle. Dupree tries to power out of Meng’s grasp, but Meng just chops Dupree’s shoulder.

Dupree then locks in a sleeperhold as he tries to wear out the monster.

Meng sends Dupree into the corner, but Dupree gets the feet up and Meng runs right into them. Big forearm staggers Meng. Dupree follows up with a bearhug as he once again tries to wear Meng out. As Dupree has Meng in the bearhug, William Regal and Fit Finlay appear on the rampway. Meng sees them and fires up, smashing his arms around Dupree’s head to escape. Meng boots Dupree down, then challenges Regal and Finlay to get into the ring. Regal and Finlay tease doing so, but this allows Dupree to leap up to the second rope. Dupree jumps at Meng…but he lands right in the Tongan Death Grip! Meng forces Dupree down and the referee counts, 1…2…3!

Winner: Meng via pinfall in 5:28

Finlay
and Regal taunt Meng from the outside…allowing US Champion Christian to jump Meng from behind! Christian nails Meng with the US title belt before the beatdown commences! Barbarian runs down to the ring to save his partner, but the numbers are still too much. Test and Billy Kidman also run down, which chases away Christian, Dupree, Regal and Finlay. Test and Kidman stare down Regal and Finlay…forgetting that the two men they saved are two of the most unpredictable monsters in wrestling! Meng and Barbarian attack Test and Kidman and leaves them lying! Meng and Barbarian stand tall in the ring, roaring, as Worldwide goes off the air.

WCW Monday Night Nitro
August 19, 2002
Pepsi Center
Denver, CO

Nitro
opens with the two #1 contenders for the WCW World Championship, Booker T and Kurt Angle, running into one another in the parking lot as they arrive in the Pepsi Center. They lock eyes and stand face-to-face with one another…when The New World Order attacks! Triple H, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean O’Haire, X-Pac, Justin Credible, Bossman all beat the hell out of Booker and Angle! It’s an all-out assault before Diamond Dallas Page, The Giant, Shane McMahon and other members of the WCW locker room chase the NWO into the building! DDP and Shane check on Booker and Angle as the intro plays!




Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant walk down to the ring and DDP’s got a mic.

Mike Tenay: “What a chaotic situation we already have going on here on Nitro!”

Don West:
“Let’s see what DDP has to say Mike.”

Diamond Dallas Page:NWO, it seems like you scum just can’t help yourselves. Attacking guys in parking lots, interfering in matches, you guys just can’t seem to put up a fair fight! Well we’re sick of the whole deal. Me and the big man here have had enough of you guys costing us matches and shots and the big gold. You guys want to act like big dogs? Well then let’s see you pieces of trash fight like men. Nash and Hall, you guys have our World Tag Team titles, and we decided we want the straps back! You went out of your way to protect that scum Triple H from us, so we’re gonna take something from you!”

The Giant: “I’m going to make this clear. I’ve had it up to my throat with the whole lot of you. I don’t care who we have to go through. If you’re NWO, you’re a deadman when I get my hands on you! As for Nash and Hall. I’m gonna do what I should have done years ago. I’ve going to break you both in half the first chance I get!”

Diamond Dallas Page: “So how ‘bout it boys?!”

After a few seconds of silence, the crowd begins to boo loudly as Eric Bischoff comes out to answer DDP and The Giant.


Eric Bischoff: “We all know I need to hurry up here because we all know Shane McMahon is going to race out here and just hand you guys a title shot you don’t deserve. Page, didn’t you learn a lesson last week when Kevin Nash beat you in the middle of that ring? Maybe the sledgehammer shots Scott Hall hit you both with loosened something in those heads of yours? But I think we can come up with something that’ll give us each what we want. You guys want to fight tonight? You want the NWO? You’re on! And hell, if you two win, at Cyberslam you’ll get Nash and Hall for the belts!”

Diamond Dallas Page: “I wasn’t born yesterday Bischoff, what’s the catch?”

Eric Bischoff: “Well, you guys wanted to rip apart the NWO tonight. So you have your chance. You want Hall and Nash? Run the Gauntlet tonight and you’ve got them!”

The Giant: “Understand this Bischoff. Every person you put out there against us in that Gauntlet, make sure they understand that they aren’t walking out of this ring tonight!”

Eric Bischoff: “Ha, we’ll see big man, we’ll see!”

***

Mike Tenay:
“A Gauntlet Match for DDP and The Giant tonight? Can they survive the NWO tonight?”

Don West: “I don’t know, Mike. We’re also waiting for updates in regards to Booker T and Kurt Angle. This feels like the NWO's night.”

Mike Tenay:
“Coming up next, we have Test taking on Billy Kidman. Both men will have a chance to face Christian for the United States Championship at Cyberslam!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Billy Kidman (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. Test


Test approaches Kidman but Kidman uses his speed to stay out of Test’s grasp. Kidman gets a couple of strikes, using a hit’n’run strategy.

Kidman
doesn’t get much time to celebrate as US Champion Christian and Rene Dupree run into the ring and attack!

Dupree is about to get his hands on Torrie…when Test saves her by blasting Dupree with the Big Boot! Christian tries to attack Test but Test gets a forearm that sends Christian into a retreat. Kidman gets back to his feet with Torrie helping him up. Test looks frustrated at the loss, but he and Kidman share a look of respect.

***

Kevin Kelly
runs up to Christian as Christian runs up the rampway.

Kevin Kelly:Christian, Christian, what was your plan here attacking Kidman?”

Christian: “What are you kidding me, Kelly? I don’t even get to know my opponent for Cyberslam. How’s that any fair, huh? So I’m gonna take them all out to even the odds. Mr. USA Jim Duggan is one of the contenders, right? Well Rene Dupree is going to put ‘Old Glory’ out to pasture tonight! This whole thing is ridiculous!”

***

Jeremy Borash
:Jeremy Borash backstage with Shane McMahon. Shane, what’s the update about Kurt Angle and Booker T, and is their status in jeopardy for Cyberslam?”

Shane McMahon: “Well I don’t think they’ll be anything too bad to keep Booker or Kurt out of the ring 13 days from now for Cyberslam. With that being said the NWO did a good number on them. Booker did head to the hospital and Kurt is backstage getting taped up and won’t compete tonight. But depending on their status, I have some ideas for next week. I see Eric Bischoff goaded DDP and Giant into some kind of Gauntlet tonight and I’m gonna let those guys take their of their own business. But just know, I’m not taking this attack earlier tonight lightly.”

Eric Bischoff: “Gentlemen, I’m sure you all heard about the big Gauntlet Match tonight. Well, I’m here to tell you the New World Order has been keeping their eye on America’s Most Wanted.

Eric Bischoff
enters another locker room…this time, it’s the locker room of William Regal and Fit Finlay.

William Regal: “Hello Eric.”

Eric Bischoff:William, Dave, hello. Look, I’ll make this short and sweet. I know you and I haven’t seen eye-to-eye in the past, and I know you aren’t interested in joining the NWO.”

William Regal: “So what brings you here then, Eric?”

Eric Bischoff: “Well, you know about the Gauntlet Match tonight. Now I know you wouldn’t do this for me, but you and Hunter, you guys are close. Maybe not everyone knows that but you helped Triple H rise up the ranks early in his career and he’s always respected you for that. So if you guys take out Giant and DDP tonight in the Gauntlet, Hunter, well, Hunter will appreciate it and he’ll make sure to repay the favor.”

William Regal: “Well is that so? Let me ensure that you understand this, Eric. We don’t trust you. We don’t trust the NWO. And history and respect aside, I don’t know if I trust Triple H. But tonight, we’ll do this favor for you. But know, don’t cross us. You don’t want to make enemies of myself and Finlay. Is that understood?”

Eric Bischoff positively shakes his head as Regal and Finlay begin to prepare for the match.

ECW RISE
August 22, 2002
World Arena
Colorado Springs, CO




ECW RISE begins with “Enter Sandman” playing as The Sandman making his way through the crowd!

Joey Styles: Tazz, we’re kicking ECW RISE off with The Sandman! He takes on the FBI’s Johnny Stamboli!

Tazz:
“Remember what both men agreed to last week, Joey. Both men said they wouldn’t have any of their boys interfere!”

Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli vs. The Sandman

Stamboli attacks Sandman as Sandman drinks beer on the apron, but Sandman responds by beating the hell out of Stamboli with his Singapore Cane! Sandman keeps swinging the cane, forcing Stamboli to bail from the ring to the outside. Sandman goes after him but Stamboli gets a shot to the face that slows him down. Stamboli slams Sandman into the guardrail before picking up a steel chair and smashing it across Sandman’s back! Stamboli rolls Sandman into the ring and then hits him with a slingshot legdrop over the top rope. Cover, 1…2…Sandman kicks out. Sandman wildly swings to try to hit a punch, but Stamboli dodges the punches and hits a belly-to-belly suplex.

Stamboli heads to the top rope, then stands on the ring post…but the flying legdrop misses! Sandman grabs the cane and blasts Stamboli in the head! Sandman quickly hooks Stamboli and hits the White Russian Legsweep! 1…2…Stamboli kicks out. Sandman heads to the outside and sets up a table, but when he heads back into the ring Stamboli blasts him with a steel chair! Stamboli puts Sandman on the table on the outside before heading back into the ring. Stamboli springboards off the top rope and drives Sandman through the table with a legdrop! Stamboli lays on the prone Sandman and the referee comes to the outside to make the count, 1…2…3!

Winner: Johnny Stamboli via pinfall in 5:12

Joey Styles:
“What an upset by Johnny “The Bull”!

Tazz:
“Look out, look out, here comes Mike Awesome and Total Impact!

Mike Awesome, Chris Candido and Lance Storm are met by The Full Blooded Italians on the rampway and the brawl is on! Tommy Dreamer, Spike Dudley, and Balls Mahoney run down as well to even up the numbers game, but NWO X-Factor members X-Pac, Justin Credible and The Big Bossman join the brawl as well. Eventually Mick Foley heads out to the stage, demanding that everyone stop fighting…which eventually works as RISE goes to commercial.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Mick Foley
is in the back, standing between these two warring groups as ECW officials hold them back.

Mick Foley: “I’ve had enough of this! This is what we’re going to do. At Cyberslam, we’re going to let the fans decide how this ends. The fans will get to choose one of you from each side, and the rest of you, the rest of you can bring whatever weapon you want! A People’s Choice Lumberjack Weapons Match! Now I don’t want to see any of you until Cyberslam, you’re all off for ECW Hardcore TV and next week’s RISE! If I see any of you, I’ll suspend you immediately!”

The FBI and NWO are the first to leave…before we cut back to the ring.

***

Joey Styles:
“Coming up next, Tazz. Four men in tag-team action that can win, depending on you the fans, who can win a shot at the ECW World Television Championship at Cyberslam.”

Tazz:
“This includes two guys who were as close as brothers, Perry Saturn and John Kronus!”

Shelton Benjamin and John Kronus vs. Perry Saturn and C.W. Anderson

Anderson quickly takes Kronus down after a lock-up with a snapmare and a headlock. Kronus manages a headscissors to escape, then hits a couple of kicks. Anderson misses a clothesline and Kronus surprises him with a springboard moonsault off the second rope. Anderson gets back to his feet but Kronus takes him down with a roundhouse kick. Kronus sends Anderson into the corner, then hits a cartwheel back elbow! Kronus then runs at Saturn standing on the apron and hits him with a shot to the face, but that allows Anderson to plant Kronus in the middle of the ring with a spinebuster! Cover from Anderson, 1…2…Kronus kicks out. Anderson tags in Saturn, who brings a steel chair into the ring with him.

Saturn smashes Kronus across the back with the chair once, then mocks Kronus towards the crowd. Saturn smashes Kronus with the chair a couple of more times, then puts the chair on Kronus’s head. Saturn springboards off the ropes with a twisting legdrop, smashes Kronus’ head in the chair! Saturn covers Kronus, 1…2…but Kronus kicks out to Saturn’s surprise! Saturn and Benjamin lock eyes and Benjamin dares Saturn to let Kronus tag him in. Kronus comes off the ropes and hits Saturn with a leg lariat! Kronus tags in Benjamin! Springboard clothesline to Saturn! Anderson runs in but Benjamin takes him out with a spinning heel kick. Benjamin tries a superkick on Saturn, but Saturn dodges and gets a German suplex! Saturn picks Benjamin up for the Death Valley Driver, but Benjamin ends up landing on his feet as Saturn tries to drive him down.

Saturn goes for a superkick himself, but Benjamin blocks and has Saturn set-up for the T-Bone Suplex! C.W. Anderson knocks them both down though, then stomps away on Benjamin. In a surprising twist…Anderson turns around and gets hit by Total Elimination by John Kronus and Perry Saturn! Saturn and Kronus stare in one another’s eyes…until Saturn ducks and Benjamin nails Kronus with a superkick! Saturn traps Benjamin’s arms behind him and gets a Dragon Suplex, but Benjamin frees his arms. Saturn kicks Benjamin and jumps up to the second rope. Saturn comes off the turnbuckles, but lands right into Benjamin’s T-Bone Suplex! 1…2…3!

Winners: Shelton Benjamin and John Kronus when Benjamin pinned Saturn in 8:29

Benjamin
indicates that he plans to be ECW World Television Champion come Cyberslam. John Kronus gets back to his feet and hits Benjamin with a superkick! Saturn gets back to his feet and once again makes eye contact with Kronus, but Kronus leaves Benjamin for Saturn. Saturn locks Benjamin in the Rings of Saturn, then leaves Benjamin lying in the ring.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles:
“We have a huge six-man tag team match coming up, Tazz. But this weekend on ECW Hardcore TV, we’ll see a four-way match featuring individuals from the teams of Danny Doring and Roadkill, Kid Kash and Jamie Noble, Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera, and Elix Skipper and Shane Helms. We’re also see the Women’s World Championship on the line, Jacqueline takes another shot at Victoria!”

Tazz: “Definitely can’t miss, Joey. But we gotta talk about this six-man tag! Van Dam, Sabu and Rey against the Guerreros and Tajiri! This is going to be a rocket busta, Joey!”

Joey Styles:
“Interestingly too, as Tajiri makes his way out here, we haven’t seen Raven since Anarchy Rulz, Tazz.”

***

Rob Van Dam, Sabu, and Rey Mysterio Jr. (w/Bill Alfonso) vs. Tajiri, Eddie Guerrero, and Chavo Guerrero Jr.


Sabu starts with Tajiri. Tajiri fires kicks at Sabu, but Sabu evades each of them before he grabs one and takes Tajiri down. Sabu misses an elbow drop, but Tajiri misses a Buzzsaw Kick. Sabu hits Tajiri with a basement dropkick, then springboards off the ropes with a leg lariat! Tajiri backs up into the corner and Bill Alfonso throws Sabu a chair. Sabu sets the chair up in the middle of the ring, but Air Sabu misses as Tajiri moves out of the way! Tajiri tags in Chavo but Sabu tags in the World Champion, Rob Van Dam! Chavo gets a waistlock on RVD, but RVD counters and trips Chavo. Somersault legdrop misses and Chavo comes off the ropes, catching RVD with a flying headscissors. RVD quickly gets back up to his feet. Chavo goes for a kick, but RVD blocks, then hits Chavo with a straight kick to the face! Chavo quickly backs away to the corner and tags in Eddie!

RVD taunts right in Eddie’s face, allowing Eddie to hit him with a hard forearm. Eddie sends RVD off the ropes, and Rey gets a blind tag. Eddie leapfrogs over RVD, but RVD holds onto the ropes on the other end…allowing Rey to hit a springboard hurricanrana on Eddie! Rey comes off the ropes and hits a springboard twisting crossbody! 1…2…Eddie kicks out. Eddie runs at Rey but Rey gets a drop toehold and Eddie gets caught in the ropes. 6-1-9 connects! Eddie rolls under the bottom rope, and Rey follows up with a springboard plancha on the outside! Chavo quickly runs into the ring though and dives over the top rope as well, hitting Rey. RVD runs in and takes out all Eddie, Chavo and Rey with a somersault plancha! As everyone tries to recover, Tajiri gets on the apron and hits a springboard Asai Moonsault on everyone on the outside, although he basically impales himself on the guardrail! Sabu takes the chair and sets it up in the middle of the ring, then dives over the top rope with Air Sabu, taking out everyone once again! Eddie manages to get out of the way of Air Sabu and drags Rey back into the ring. Cover, 1…2…Rey kicks out.

Eddie suplexes Rey, then swivels his hips. Two more suplexes to Rey! Eddie heads to the top rope, but he rolls through as Rey gets back to his feet. Rey runs at Eddie but ends up running into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Eddie tags in Tajiri. Tajiri sends Rey hard front-first into the corner, then locks in the Tarantula! Rey screams in pain but before RVD or Sabu can break it up Tajiri releases. Tajiri puts Rey in the Tree-of-Woe and hits him right in the face with a basement dropkick! Tajiri locks Rey in an Octopus Hold, with Rey once again struggling to avoid submission. Rey elbows his way out but runs right into a high kick from Tajiri. Tajiri sends Rey into the corner, but Tajiri runs into Rey’s boots on the follow-up. Rey cartwheels towards Tajiri then ends up on his shoulders. Tajiri tries to drop him in a wheelbarrow slam but Rey counters into a bulldog! Rey and Tajiri crawl to their respective corners, with Tajiri tagging in Chavo and Rey tagging in Sabu!

Sabu hits Chavo with a basement dropkick, then springboards off the ropes and hits a Tornado DDT! Sabu locks Chavo in the Camel Clutch and grabs the chair, putting it in front of Chavo’s face. RVD runs into the ring and comes off the ropes, dropkicking the chair in Chavo’s face! Eddie knocks RVD and stomps away at him, only to be the recipient of a chair throw by Sabu! Bill Alfonso sets up a table on the outside, but Tajiri attacks him! Sabu takes Tajiri out with somersault plancha to the outside! Sabu puts Tajiri on the table then heads back into the ring. Sabu sets up the chair and leaps off it to the top rope, then catches Tajiri with a DDT that drives them both through the table!

Joey Styles:
“Oh My God!”

Rey dropkicks Chavo in the ring, but Eddie attacks him. Eddie sets Rey up and plants him with a brainbuster in the center of the ring! Chavo picks up a chair, and RVD goes for a jump kick at Eddie, but Eddie moves, resulting in Chavo getting hit with the Van Daminator! Eddie takes the chair and smashes RVD over the head with it! Eddie quickly heads to the top rope. He plays to the crowd, then lands the Frog Splash! 1…2…3!

Winners: Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero Jr., and Tajiri when Eddie pinned RVD in 16:31

Eddie Guerrero
rolls to the outside and grabs the ECW World Championship title belt. He puts a foot on RVD as he holds the title above his head! Eddie drapes the title on RVD, collects Chavo, and laughs his way up the ramp as ECW RISE comes to a close!

World Arena
Colorado Spring, CO

Earlier tonight…


Kid Kash and Jamie Noble get into an argument with Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera in the parking lot when arriving to the arena. Shane Helms and Elix Skipper arrive as well and the altercation gets even hotter…and then it outright explodes as Danny Doring and Roadkill try to walk through the other six men, leading to a brawl on the outside. Suddenly, a team not involved in the Cyberslam Tag Team Title match, America’s Most Wanted, attacks as well! All 10 men beat the hell out of one another when Blue Meanie and Stevie Richards of the BWO also get involved! Commissioner Mick Foley with security breaks up the fight, and he announces that tonight’s Four-Way Match is off. Foley demands all the competitors who were involved in the fight go home until RISE next week!



Joey Styles: “Hello everyone, I’m Joey Styles. You saw what took place earlier this afternoon between many of our ECW tag teams. Well, here’s the update Tazz. The Blue World Order and America’s Most Wanted have been added as teams you can vote for next Sunday at Cyberslam. Those two teams, as well as Kash and Noble, Psicosis and Juvi, Roadkill and Doring and Helms and Skipper will be part of a Tag Team Battle Royal next week on RISE! Now, we may another team enter the fray…in just moments, the young team of Christian York and Joey Matthews take on the ECW World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn. The title is not on the line, but if York and Matthews win, they too get added as a team you, the fans, can vote for at Cyberslam!

Tazz: “
Also Joey, two title matches tonight, we have the Women’s and Cruiserweight titles on the line!”

If York and Matthews Win, They Become Eligible to Be Voted for at Cyberslam as Challengers for the ECW World Tag Team Championship
AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn vs. Christian York and Joey Matthews


AJ Styles starts with Christian York. Styles catches York with some strikes, pushing York into the corner. York tries to fire back, but Styles catches him with spinning back fist. York stumbles around, but surprises Styles as AJ misses another strike attempt and York gets a jawbreaker. York jumps up to the second rope, but he comes down right into a Styles dropkick. Styles tags in Lynn, then whips York into the opposite corner. Lynn follows up with a clothesline then nails a snap suplex. Cover, 1…2…Matthews runs in and breaks up the count. Lynn and Matthews trade blows. Matthews blocks a kick, but Lynn catches him with an enzugiri. Lynn turns around right into a diving clothesline from York.

Double hip toss from York and Matthews on Lynn, and they follow with a double elbow drop. Matthews tries to wear Lynn down with a rear chinlock before he tags York back in. Matthews puts Lynn in the electric chair and York hits a springboard clothesline. Cover, 1…2…Lynn kicks out. York goes for a superkick, but Lynn blocks and drives York down with a DDT. Matthews runs in but Lynn backdrops him over the top rope, then tags in Styles! Styles hits York with strikes again, this time ending with the Pele Kick! He sets up York for the Styles Clash, but Matthews slides back in and knocks Styles down. Lynn and Matthews go at it. Matthews gets the advantage and whips Lynn off the ropes. He goes for a backdrop, but Lynn puts on the brakes and spikes Matthews with the Cradle Piledriver! Styles slams York across his knee with a Ushigoroshi, then heads to the apron and hits a Springboard 450 Splash! Cover, 1…2…3!

Winners: AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn when Styles pinned Christian York in 6:02

Styles and Lynn
take the Tag Titles and head off. Joey Matthews looks agitated at Christian York, shaking his head and leaving his partner in the ring.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::

Victoria © vs. Jacqueline


Jacqueline attacks Victoria as Victoria makes her entrance, smashing a kendo stick over the back of her head! Jackie punches away at Victoria in the aisleway before slamming her into the guardrail. Jackie tries to hit Victoria with the kendo stick across the throat, but Victoria hits a big boot. Victoria slams Jackie into the ring apron, then finds a broom from under the ring and breaks it off Jackie’s back! Victoria tries to roll Jackie into the ring, but Jackie holds onto the ring apron…and pulls out a baking tray. Jackie whacks Victoria right in the face with the tray! Jackie rolls Victoria back in and covers, 1…2…Victoria kicks out. Jackie smashes the tray over Victoria’s back again.

Victoria grabs Jackie and drops her with Widow’s Peak, 1…2…3.

yells at Daffney, asking her where she came from. Daffney points to under the ring, but for whatever reason, Victoria still doesn’t look happy with her.

***

Joey Styles: “
We still have the World Cruiserweight Championship match coming up. The two men competing, Tajiri and Super Crazy, are also two options that you, the fans can select at Cyberslam to take on ECW World Television Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. On RISE we will see all the potential opponents for Rey go at it in a One Fall Extreme Brawl!”


Tazz: “Joey, one has to wonder about the people Tajiri is affiliated with. Ever since Anarchy Rulz we haven’t seen Raven, Whipwreck, or any of them!”

Joey Styles: “
I don’t know Tazz. With Raven, you can never be sure on what he’s up to.”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::

World Cruiserweight Championship
Tajiri © vs. Super Crazy


Tajiri and Crazy stand up to one another, face-to-face, and Crazy slaps Tajiri! Tajiri runs at Crazy and fires kicks, forcing Crazy to back away. Tajiri misses one and Crazy dumps him to the outside. Crazy already lives up to his name, hitting Tajiri with a Space Flying Tiger Drop just seconds into the match! Crazy dumps Tajiri into the crowd, but Tajiri grabs a fan’s drink and throws it in Crazy’s face. Tajiri throws Crazy into a steep structure then climbs up on a small wall. Tajiri dives off the wall, but Crazy catches Tajiri with an elbow! Crazy hits a standing moonsault, then points up to the crowd. Crazy makes his way up a balcony…and dives off with a moonsault onto Tajiri!

Joey Styles:
¡Oh, Dios mío!

Crazy drags Tajiri back to the railing, where Tajiri surprises him by hitting a drop toehold, with Crazy landing throat-first into the steel! There’s a nearby concession stand…and Tajiri leaps off it, catching Crazy in a hurricanrana that sends Crazy back over the railing and back to ringside. Tajiri gets onto the apron, then hits the springboard Asai Moonsault! Tajiri rolls Crazy back into the ring and slides in a table as well. Tajiri hits a couple of stiff kicks in the corner, then locks in the Tarantula! Crazy screams in pain, but is able to free one of his feet. Crazy ends up escaping and slamming Tajiri in the middle of the ring with a double leg slam! Crazy heads to the top rope, looking to finish off Tajiri with a moonsault, but Tajiri springs back up and hits Crazy with a belly-to-back suplex off the top rope!

Tajiri sets up the table and puts Crazy on it. Tajiri heads to the top rope…but Crazy moves and Tajiri double foot stomps himself through the table!

celebrates as he’s won back his Cruiserweight Championship, but his celebration is cut short as Chavo Guerrero Jr. attacks him! Chavo hooks Crazy and drops him in the middle of the ring with a brainbuster. Chavo looks at the Cruiserweight title, but then yells at the camera “this is for you Rey!”. Chavo stands tall in the ring as Hardcore TV goes off the air.

Rose Garden
Portland, OR




United States Champion Christian and Rene Dupree appear on stage and join Mike Tenay and Don West at the announcer’s desk.

Don West: Christian! The US Champ! Stand up Mike Tenay!

Mike Tenay: “Hello Christian.”


Christian: “You could learn something from your partner, Tenay.”

Mike Tenay: Christian in a few moments we’re going to see a four-way tag team match featuring eight of your potential opponents this Sunday at Cyberslam.”


Christian: “It’s not gonna matter who it is either, but I figured we might as well watch before my main event match tonight.”

Mike Tenay: “It’s a big one, Christian, you and Rene Durpee team with the World Tag Team Champions the Outsiders to take on Booker T, Kurt Angle, Diamond Dallas Page, and The Giant.

Christian: “I don’t really care what happens to the lot of them, but quote me right now, Booker T or Kurt Angle won’t be US Champion after Cyberslam either.”

Billy Kidman and Test (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. The Faces of Fear vs. William Regal and Finlay vs. Alex Wright and Disco Inferno (w/Brian Christopher)

Meng and Barbarian attack Regal and Finlay to start the match. The Faces of Fear hit stereo headbutts, sending Regal flying. Finlay tries to fight back, but he gets hit with a double big boot. Meng props Finlay in the corner and hits him with rapid-fire punches and kicks. Finlay fires back with stiff European uppercuts. Disco Inferno gets a blind tag on Finlay. Finlay comes off the ropes and shoulder tackles Meng, then Disco jumps on Meng’s shoulders to lock in a sleeper. Meng shakes Disco off and blasts him with a headbutt. Meng stumbles into the corner and Kidman makes the tag. Springboard dropkick nails Disco. Wright misses a clothesline and Kidman hits him with the BK Bomb! Disco hits Kidman from behind with a neckbreaker. Cover from Disco, but Test runs in and breaks it up right away. Test picks Disco up and slams him down with a Pumphandle slam. Kidman covers, 1…2…Finlay and Regal pull Kidman out and start beating him down.

Meng and Barbarian attack Finlay as Regal rolls into the ring. He puts the brass knuckles on his hand, but he misses Test and Test hits him with the Big Boot! Wright and Disco hit Test with a double back suplex. Disco and Wright start dancing in the middle of the ring, but Brian Christopher tries to warn them that the Faces of Fear are standing right behind them! Wright and Disco turn around and realize their fate. They attack but Meng and Barbarian overwhelm them immediately. Meng and Barbarian plant Disco and Wright with powerbombs! Brian Christopher takes a steel chair and smashes it across Meng’s back! There’s no effect (and a DQ isn’t even called). Christopher runs off as Meng and Barbarian follow him up the aisle!

Christian runs down, but Kidman sees him coming and Kidman ducks Christian’s belt shot attempt. Kidman plants Christian with a BK Bomb! Kidman holds the US title belt, looking at it as it’s the most important thing in the world to him, when the New World Order’s Sean O’Haire runs down to the ring! O’Haire, not currently slated for the battle royal this Sunday, attacks Kidman! Kidman fights back, bit O’Haire takes him down with the Ridge Hand! O’Haire picks up the US title and makes it clear he’s entering the battle royal. But then O’Haire’s former tag team partner, Chuck Palumbo, runs down and the former partners go at it! O’Haire and Palumbo trade blows, but O’Haire misses a clothesline and Palumbo sends him over the top rope with a clothesline of his own. Palumbo tells O’Haire “he’ll see him later!” but as he picks up the US Title, Christian grabs it and escapes under the bottom rope!

From earlier today, Eric Bischoff met Shane McMahon in Shane’s office.

Eric Bischoff: “Let’s get on it with it Shane.”

Shane McMahon: “Last week, Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant won the right to take on Kevin Nash and Scott Hall for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. It’ll be the fans, those who watch WCW week-in and week-out, that’ll choose the match type, the stipulation. I’m letting you know Eric, what those options are. The fans will have a choice between a Tag Team Ladder Match, A Steel Cage, or an old-fashioned Tornado Rules No Disqualification Street Fight.”

Eric Bischoff: “Is that what you brought me here for Shane?

Shane McMahon: “No, that’s not all. I’m not going to stand for the NWO attacking guys in the parking lot and interfering in matches whenever they feel it’s necessary. Each time it happens, punishment will be handed out. This isn’t the old WCW where the inmates run the asylum. So here’s the deal. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Triple H, they all are defending championships this Sunday at Cyberslam. If they lose their titles, not only will they not be granted a rematch, they will not get to face the man or team that beat them for the title during that reign. Keep it up Eric, and I’ll make things a hell of a lot worse.”

Eric Bischoff doesn’t look happy about what Shane has told him…but he has a retort.

Eric Bischoff: “Well it won’t matter Shane. At the end of Cyberslam, we’ll still have the WCW World and Tag Team Championships…and maybe we’ll have a surprise or two ready for you and WCW as well.”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


World Cruiserweight Championship

Remember to keep your eye on the ball.”

“But good luck this Sunday.”

Christian, Rene Dupree, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page, The Giant, Booker T and Kurt Angle (w/Stacy Keibler)

Hall adds some pressure before allowing Booker to get back to a vertical base. Hall switches to the abdominal stretch. Hall reaches out to Nash, and Nash holds Hall’s arm to add leverage to the hold, only adding to the pain Booker’s experiencing. Referee Charles Robinson suspects something but Hall releases Nash before Robinson looks over.

ECW RISE
August 29, 2002
Mercer Arena

Joey Styles: “We’re just three days away from Cyberslam. Right now in the ring are all the choices that you, the fans, can pick from to go up against ECW World Television Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. this Sunday!”

Tazz: “The rules for this one Joey is that the first man to get a fall wins the match!”

Joey Styles:
“It’s a showcase for all these guys!”

One Fall
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. C.W. Anderson vs. John Kronus vs. Perry Saturn vs. Sabu vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Super Crazy vs. Tajiri


The match starts violently as Sabu throws a chair right in C.W. Anderson’s face! Crazy and Tajiri go at it as do Kronus and Saturn. Benjamin hits Chavo with a spinning heel kick, then goes face-to-face with Sabu. Sabu and Benjamin come to blows, but suddenly the Kronus and Saturn are on the same page as Kronus grabs Sabu and Saturn grabs Benjamin, dumping them with suplexes. Sabu and Benjamin both slide to the outside, and Kronus and Saturn continue to attack them. In the ring Super Crazy hits Anderson with a moonsault, but gets caught with a buzzsaw kick by Tajiri! Tajiri covers Crazy, 1…2…Chavo’s back in and he breaks up the pin. Chavo hooks Tajiri and plants him with a Tornado DDT! Anderson is back on his feet and he spikes Chavo goes with a spinebuster! Cover, 1…2…Kronus comes off the top rope with a side moonsault to break it up!

Sabu avoids Tajiri though and sets up a table at ringside. In the ring Chavo locks Crazy in the Goro Guerrero Special, just for Sabu to slide in and throw a chair in his face! Sabu drags Chavo onto the table he set up on the outside. Sabu sets the chair up in the ring, leaps on it then on the top rope, but Chavo manages to move and Sabu drives himself through the table! Benjamin rolls Chavo back into the ring and dumps him on his head with a T-Bone Suplex! Saturn attacks Benjamin, but Kronus gets a spin kick on Saturn. Benjamin and Kronus eye one another…and hit Saturn with Total Elimination! Tajiri hits Kronus in the back of the head with a Buzzsaw Kick, then spits the Green Mist at Benjamin!

Rey fights him off as Sabu gets back into the ring. Sabu decks Tajiri, then takes down Rey! Sabu and Rey go at it before officials break everyone up!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles:
“That was a wild fight Tazz, and I must say that was a huge win for Tajiri!

Tazz: “You’ve gotta wonder Styles if Benjamin will be okay for Sunday after taking the mist right to the face!”

Joey Styles: “Coming up next, we have five teams who can challenge AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn for the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Next is another showcase, a tag team battle royal! And get this, Commissioner Mick Foley has given three teams a chance to be included in the voting. Christian York and Joey Matthews, Super Nova and The Blue Meanie and Bam Bam Bigelow and Gangrel!”

Tazz:
“And for clarity about the rules, Joey, only one guy has to go over the top rope for each team to be eliminated!”

Tag Team Battle Royal
America’s Most Wanted vs. Daddy Doring and Roadkill vs. Elix Skipper and Shane Helms vs. Kid Kash and Jamie Noble vs. Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera vs. Bam Bam Bigelow and Gangrel vs. Super Nova and The Blue Meanie vs. Christian York and Joey Matthews


All sixteen men go at it as the battle royal begins. Everyone tries to get the big man Bigelow out, but Gangrel helps keep him in the ring. Bigelow tosses Nova (Elimination #1: Super Nova and The Blue Meanie by Bam Bam Bigelow). Bigelow and Roadkill face off in the ring and pound away at one another. Doring tries a cheapshot on Bigelow, but that allows Kash to take him out with a dropkick.

(Elimination #5: AMW by York and Matthews). Skipper, Helms, York, and Matthews all work on Bigelow, but they can’t get the monster out. Bigelow fights them off and sends Helms flying over the top rope! (Elimination #6: Helms and Skipper by Bigelow). One of these teams will get added as an option to fight for the ECW World Tag Team Championship! York and Matthews continue to work on Bigelow, but Gangrel grabs Matthews and hits him with the Impaler, and Bigelow presses York and throws him against the steel railing on the outside!

Winners: Bam Bam Bigelow and Gangrel, last eliminating Christian York and Joey Matthews in 6:23

Luna Vachon
celebrates with Bigelow and Gangrel. The ECW World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn step onto the stage, acknowledging another potential challenger. Bigelow stands tall and pounds on his chest while Gangrel laughs!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We come back to RISE and are with Total Impact.

Lance Storm: “This Sunday at Cyberslam, an unlikely alliance has been formed to take down the NWO and FBI. These two entities have plagued professional wrestling over the past half-decade. In three days at Cyberslam, one of us will represent Extreme Championship Wrestling in the “Bring Your Own Weapon Lumberjack Match.” I guarantee that one of us seven will be victorious and break through both opposing factions. And Justin Credible, you better pray to whatever entity you worship that they don’t pick you. Oh, and what do I mean by seven men?”

Spike Dudley, The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Balls Mahoney walks into the shot.

Lance Storm: “See to me, that’s not just the coolest, that’s not just the best. That’s…”

Mike Awesome: AWESOME!”

***

A ladder
is standing in the ring as Eddie Guerrero arrogantly walks to the ring. In his hand is the strap that will be used if the Mexican Strap Match is picked for the ECW World Championship Match for Cyberslam.

Eddie Guerrero: “As I stand here before all you people, let’s talk about your ‘favorite wrestler’. Rob Van Dam. Mr. Thursday Night. Mt. Pay-Per-View. Rob Van Dam I hope you’re listenin’, holmes, because I have a lot to say! You’ve been sitting on top of ECW for a few weeks now and suddenly you lost your edge. It’s like you won the World Title and forgot what got you there. Or maybe, maybe you’re just not as good as advertised. Why do I think this? Because I beat you last week on RISE! Yeah! But then again, I beat you at The Great American Bash too.”

“See, what the people don’t realize, because those running ECW buried it in the ground, was I was you first Rob. In ECW, I was the Television Champion. But when I realized Paul wasn’t gonna go with me or Malenko, or Benoit, well it was time to move on. Before you were the glimmer in ECW’s eye they begged me not to leave! And I didn’t do it with fancy kicks and flips, I did it by fighting like a man and I earned every ounce of respect I got out there! And now we all know WCW couldn’t figure it out either, and neither could the WWF. I had to come full-circle to get this chance. I’m back in ECW. I’m already a two-time ECW World Television Champion since I came back, and one of those I beat you for! But now, finally, ECW give me what I’ve earned time and time again, a shot at the ECW World Championship.”


“And it’s not going to matter essa. It won’t matter which match it is. If I have to put you down for the 10 count that’s what I’ll do. If I need to climb this ladder and physically grab the title itself, I will do it. If I have to beat the arrogance out of you with this strap then that’s what will happen! All you people out there, you aren’t just picking the stipulation, you’re picking how I am going to beat the crap out of Rob Van Dam at Cyberslam!

ECW World Champion Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso come out to the ring to respond.

Bill Alfonso: “We heard your little speech Eddie, and you think we’re impressed? Well we’re not, daddy! Oh you were the ECW World Television Champion before Rob Van Dam. Well you’re lucky RVD wasn’t in ECW then because if he was he would have taken the title away from you just like he did at Hardcore Heaven! But you know what, forget the past. Rob Van Dam figured it out. RVD realized it was time to move on. And what did he do? Mr. Pay-Per-View went one-on-one with the most dominant champion in ECW history. He went up in a cage against that monster Brock Lesnar! Despite all the odds, despite all the violence, Rob Van Dam was the one who walked out of that cage. Oh, and he didn’t walk out alone, he walked out with the ECW World Championship!

Guerrero, RVD can do anything. Last Man Standing? Ladder? Mexican Strap? That’s why he’s the best baby! No matter what the match, RVD 4:20 is gonna smoke your ass!”


RVD grabs the mic from Alfonso. He sets up his taunt while saying…

Rob Van Dam: “And Guerrero, remember. You got cast aside because were weren’t Rob Van Dam. You were a solid, good part of the show for sure. But I’m the whole fuck’in show! I’ll see you Sunday!”

Guerrero looks disgusted at RVD…and quickly punches out Bill Alfonso! RVD attacks Guerrero and knocks him down with a spinkick. RVD checks on Alfonso…and Guerrero violently lashes RVD across the back with the Mexican Strap! Guerrero whips RVD like an animal! Guerrero then throws RVD into the ladder, then takes the ladder and drives it into RVD’s back as well! Guerrero takes the ECW World Championship and holds it up over his head, before tossing it down on RVD. Guerrero then kicks Alfonso one more time, before walking up the apron, yelling that “THAT ECW TITLE IS MINE!” RVD stares down Guerrero from the ring as he tries to get back to his feet…which is how RISE goes off the air!

WCW/ECW Cyberslam 2002
PREVIEW AND VOTING




“Mean” Gene Okerlund: "Well, let me tell you something, folks. Tomorrow night, we are about to make wrestling history. That's right, World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling are joining forces to bring you something that's never been done before. And YOU, the dedicated fans who make this all possible, are going to be the driving force behind it. Cyberslam 2002 is not just going to be a monumental event. We're coming to you LIVE from the KeyArena in the heart of Seattle, Washington. That's 8:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 PM Central. Mark it in your calendars, folks, because you do not want to miss this. We have an explosive lineup for you. You, the fans, get to vote on match participants and match stipulations. That's right! You get to call the shots, and your choices could change the course of WCW and ECW history.”

WCW World Tag Team Championship
The Outsiders © vs. Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant
Street Fight, Steel Cage, or Ladder Match

“Mean” Gene Okerlund:
Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant look to regain the championship they lost at the Great American Bash. After interference from both Kevin Nash and Scott Hall cost DDP and Giant their respective World Title opportunities, DDP and Giant are out for revenge. How will they get it? You decide how the showdown that’s years in the making goes down! The options are a Steel Cage Match, a Ladder Match, or a Street Fight! Can DDP and the Giant take the Tag Belts from the New World Order?”

WCW United States Championship
Christian © vs. Battle Royal Winner


“Mean” Gene Okerlund:
Christian is likely to have his hands full regardless of who wins the battle royal! The current list of competitors: William Regal, Jim Duggan, Fit Finlay, Meng, The Barbarian, Hugh Morrus, Billy Kidman, Test, Rene Dupree, Chuck Palumbo, Disco Inferno, Brian Christopher and the NWO’s Sean O’Haire. Don’t forget too, the man who does not win the vote for the WCW World Championship Match, that being Booker T or Kurt Angle, will also compete in this battle royal. Immediately once the battle royal has concluded, Christian will defend the US title against the winner!”

“Mean” Gene Okerlund:
“I’m going to send things over to ECW’s Joey Styles to cover the ECW portion of tomorrow night’s show!”

Joey Styles: “Thank you “Mean” Gene!”

Bring Your Own Weapons Lumberjack Match
Lance Storm/Mike Awesome/Chris Candido/Spike Dudley/Tommy Dreamer/The Sandman/Balls Mahoney vs. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke/X-Pac/Justin Credible/Tracy Smothers/Big Daddy Vincenzo/Big Sal E. Graziano


Joey Styles:
Everything changed back in May when the New World Order invaded Extreme Championship Wrestling! Total Impact, sans Justin Credible, has fought tooth and nail, night after night, against the NWO and their paid patsies, the Full-Blooded Italians. Of course, it was Justin Credible who joined his friend X-Pac in the X-Factor of the NWO, betraying us and everyone who supported him in ECW! ECW has come to support Total Impact, as The Sandman, Spike Dudley, Tommy Dreamer and Balls Mahoney, all men who have had issues with Total Impact in the past, look to put down the NWO and FBI once and for all. Everyone gets to bring a weapon, but it’s you’re the fans who get to choose who will represent each side in this contest!”

ECW World Tag Team Championship
AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn © vs. Vote Winner


Joey Styles:
AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn have been the best tag team in the world since they won the titles at Barely Legal in April. Let’s profile each of their potential opponents. Elix Skipper and Shane Helms came together as a result of respect. Skipper had defeated Helms in his prior persona as the Hurricane twice. Helms would come to Skipper’s aid in battles against the likes of America’s Most Wanted and Disco Inferno and Alex Wright, forming one of the most innovative teams in recent memory! Speaking of America’s Most Wanted, after aimlessly fighting on Worldwide, “Wildcat” Chris Harris and James Storm came together to form one bad ass tag team. They’ve already beaten veteran tag teams such as the Harris Brothers and if there’s one team that’s not going to take any crap from anyone, it’s AMW! Danny Doring and Roadkill brought the ECW World Tag Team Championship back to the national spotlight earlier this year, only to lose the titles to Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Graduates of the House of Hardcore, Doring and Roadkill will look to regain the belts. Kid Kash and Jamie Noble came together as they had a common enemy earlier in the year in R-Killa. They’ve continued to shine in the tag team division since and have been the closest of any team in beating Styles and Lynn for the belts…they went 30 minutes at Hardcore Heaven in June in what was an absolute classic. Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera both returned to the national stage against one another at Superbrawl. Psicosis would go on to win that match and become Cruiserweight Champion. After that both men felt that they were being shunned in favor of the likes of Billy Kidman, Super Crazy and the returning Rey Mysterio Jr. They’ve been on the hunt for the Cruiserweight and Tag titles ever since. Bam Bam Bigelow and Gangrel, an unlikely team formed by Luna Vachon and bounded by fire, are two veterans looking for one last shot at glory. They may be the hottest team, no pun intended, going in as they won a tag team battle royal to earn this opportunity on RISE.”

Rey Mysterio Jr. © vs. Vote Winner


Joey Styles:
“It was the biggest night of his career just a few weeks ago when Rey Mysterio Jr. won his first national open weight title, the ECW World Television Championship, when he beat Eddie Guerrero on RISE. Since then, everyone has wanted a chance to take the title from Rey. Super Crazy, a former ECW TV Champion himself, may have befriended Rey over the past few months, but has made it clear he wants the gold. Tajiri and Rey have went at it through Tag Team wars as of late, with Tajiri also staking his claim. Chavo Guerrero Jr. looks to get out of the shadow of his uncle Eddie and take down his rival for his first major championship in an open weight class. Shelton Benjamin has proclaimed that the future of ECW runs through him and has made the TV title his first goal in proving that. C.W. Anderson is an ECW veteran who worked for Paul Heyman (with Benjamin and Brock Lesnar at his side) before Heyman departed ECW earlier this month. Now he’s looking out for his own. Sabu challenged Rey for the TV title at Anarchy Rulz in a classic, but in a match where Rey pulled off what was considered a major upset. Perry Saturn and John Kronus, the former Eliminators now turned enemies, are looking to get their careers back on track after returning to ECW earlier this year.”

ECW World Championship
Rob Van Dam © vs. Eddie Guerrero
Mexican Strap, Last Man Standing, or Ladder

Joey Styles:
“Another chapter in this rivalry will be written. When Eddie Guerrero returned to ECW at Barely Legal and won the ECW World Television Championship, he looked better than ever. But Rob Van Dam, the man who never lost the TV title but was forced to vacate it due to injury in 2000, wanted his title back. Van Dam defeated Guerrero at Hardcore Heaven to win the title. Guerrero though, would win it back in a three-way with RVD and The Great Muta at The Great American Bash. It is that win that Guerrero pointed to when he said he could beat RVD. When RVD beat Brock Lesnar for the ECW World Championship at Anarchy Rulz, Guerrero leapt at this opportunity to get what he says is the “first world title shot he’s ever gotten”. Commissioner Mick Foley allowed RVD and Guerrero to choose one of the possible stipulations for the match. Guerrero picked a Mexican Strap Match. Van Dam, a Ladder Match. Foley added the Last Man Standing stipulation. It’s up to you, the fans, to decide how the ECW World Championship Match goes down!”

Joey Styles:
“That’s it for ECW, I’ll see you all tomorrow night. Let’s send it back to “Mean Gene”!”

WCW World Championship
Triple H © vs. Vote Winner (Booker T or Kurt Angle)


“Mean” Gene Okerlund:
Booker T and Kurt Angle took very different paths to get to this point. It’s been a long year for Booker, who has had to deal with R-Killa being a thorn in his side since SuperBrawl. After dispatching R-Killa in a brutal Harlem Street Fight (as in actual Harlem, not in the ring) at Anarchy Rulz, Booker went on Nitro and made his claim for the WCW World Championship. Booker T would defeat the NWO's Sean O’Haire to earn a spot in the voting. Kurt Angle’s journey started at Starrcade last year where he beat Booker T to earn a title shot. Angle parlayed that into his second WCW World Title when he beat Ric Flair on Nitro. Angle would hold the title through May at Slamboree, where the re-formation of the New World Order led to Triple H winning the title from him. Angle has fought through the NWO to get another shot at Triple H ever since. Angle defeated Curt Hennig in a cage on Nitro in July, then once again set his sights on HHH. Angle would defeat the NWO’s Scott Hall to earn a spot in this voting. As for Triple H, he perhaps ended the career of Stone Cold Steve Austin in a brutal Triple Cage match at The Great American Bash, and has fended off challenges from Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant. Can your vote lead to HHH losing the title? Can Angle or Booker emerge victorious? We’ll find out tomorrow night!”

“Tonight….

The superstars of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling have their destinies decided by you.

You decide who Triple H defends the WCW World Championship against.

You decidet how Rob Van Dam, and The Outsiders defend their championships.

The decisions you make will alter the course of wrestling history…


Forever.”



Mike Tenay: “Welcome everyone to the first interactive Pay-Per-View in professional wrestling history! Welcome to Cyberslam!

Don West: “I’m so excited about Cyberslam, Mike. And oh man, the champ is making his way out here?!”

Mike Tenay:
Triple H is slated to defend the WCW World Championship against either Booker T or Kurt Angle. But that’s supposed to be later tonight! “The Game” looks like he’s ready to go now though!”

Triple H makes his way down to the ring with Eric Bischoff and Shawn Michaels. HHH grabs a microphone.

Triple H: “This entire thing is a damn crock! I spent the last few weeks preparing for two guys because for some reason sone genius, probably the boy wonder himself Shane McMahon, decided to leave the choice of my opponent tonight to you idiots! But if we’re going to do this ridiculous fan voting deal, we’re doing this on my terms. I’m not going to sit in the back and wait until the last minute to find out who gets the shot! We’re doing this right here, right now! Shane McMahon wants to catch me off guard, well I’m throwing that right back at Booker T and Kurt Angle. I’m here right now! Let’s see how they handle ‘The Game’ when it’s on my terms!”

Triple H hands the WCW World Title to referee Charles Robinson. HHH waits as no one responds to his demands…until suddenly a video graphic with Booker T and Kurt Angle’s names on it! That graphic then provides everyone the following:

Booker T: 100%
Kurt Angle: 0%


Mike Tenay: “It’s unanimous!”

Don West: “Oh man, and here he comes!”

Mike Tenay:
“It looks like Booker T is ready too!”

WCW World Championship
Triple H © (w/Eric Bischoff and Shawn Michaels) vs. Booker T


Triple H walks up to Booker, looking to kick things off with a staredown…but Booker knocks him down with a punch to the face to get things started! HHH gets back up but Booker is all over him with punches and chops. HHH tries to hide in the ropes, and Booker shoves him while he’s in the corner for good measure. HHH comes out of the corner with a right but that’s blocked by Booker. Booker fires back with a hard right and a hard chop, then hits HHH with another right hand! HHH puts Booker in the corner and hits him with hard chops of his own, but Booker again fires back and knocks HHH down! Shawn Michaels jumps onto the apron but Booker chases him off immediately. HHH tries to take advantage, but Booker ducks a right hand and knocks HHH down with another chop! Booker sends HHH into the corner and hits him with a back bodydrop as he stumbles out! Booker pushes HHH back into the corner again and hits a couple of body shots, but HHH connects with a hard right that staggers Booker. HHH uncharacteristically heads to the top rope, and Booker takes advantage by arm dragging HHH off! Cover, 1…2…HHH just kicks out!

HHH begs off, trying to create some space between him and Booker, before hitting Booker with a kick. Side headlock is quickly countered as Booker sends HHH off the ropes. Booker leapfrogs over HHH then tries for the hip toss. HHH blocks, but Booker clotheslines him down anyway! Another cover, 1…2…HHH kicks out again.

HHH begins to stomp on Booker’s knee to keep him on the canvas. Booker manages to get back to his feet, but HHH immediately drops him with a neckbreaker. Cover, 1…2…Booker kicks out again. Booker fires some right hands to take back the advantage. HHH reverses the Irish whip though and plants Booker in the middle of the ring with a spinebuster! Another cover, 1…2…Booker kicks out for a third time, frustrating HHH a little bit.

HHH chokes Booker before going back to working on the knee. HHH drops an elbow on the leg and locks Booker in a leg grapevine. Booker tries to fight out, but he’s struggles to escape. HHH releases and goes back to stomping on the knee, before locking Booker in the Figure Four! Booker screams in pain as HHH tries to end the match right here. Booker tries to fight out of it, but HHH has it locked on good. Booker’s shoulders hit the canvas, 1…2…but he gets a shoulder up! Eric Bischoff reaches out to give HHH more leverage with the Fight Four, but Robinson sees it and kicks off Bischoff’s hands! Booker turns the Figure Four over, putting the pressure on HHH! HHH releases his legs and Booker gets back to his feet, although he’s limping. Booker hits HHH with a hard right then sends HHH off the ropes. He goes for another backdrop, but HHH puts on the brakes and hits Booker with a facebuster to the knee! Booker stumbles back and HHH clotheslines him over the top rope back onto the floor! Booker gets back onto the apron and HHH tries to bring him in the hardway with a suplex, but Booker floats over HHH, hits a kick and spikes HHH with a DDT! Cover, 1…2…HHH just gets the shoulder up!

Both men struggle to get to their feet before a slugfest breaks out. Booker T wins the exchange , but when he comes off the ropes HHH catches him with the high knee! HHH then locks Booker in an Indian Deathlock! Booker screams in pain and it looks like he’s about to submit, but the crowd keeps Booker’s spirit in the match! Booker manages to reach HHH with a couple of punches and manages to untrap his leg, escaping from the deathlock. HHH quickly locks on a sleeper, but Booker drives HHH’s head into the corner. Booker then comes off the ropes and hits HHH with a flying one legged dropkick, although he hurts his own knee in the process! Booker climbs onto HHH for the cover, 1…2…HHH just gets his shoulder up to counter. Booker comes off the ropes again, but HHH gets a kick…and plants Booker with the Pedigree! 1…2…Booker T kicks out and Triple H is in total shock! Triple H quickly sets Booker up for a second one, but Booker adjusts his position and backdrops HHH over the top rope onto the floor!

Booker lies in the middle of ring as HHH tries to recover on the outside…until Booker explodes onto his feet with a Spinarooni! Booker hits the ropes and dives over the top rope, taking out HHH! Booker tosses HHH onto the timekeeper’s table, but turns around into then knocks down an encroaching Shawn Michaels for good measure! Booker jumps up on top of the timekeeper’s table as well, but HHH hits a low blow! HHH sets up for the Pedigree, but Booker returns the low blow…and sets HHH up himself! Bookend drives both Booker and HHH through the table! Eric Bischoff demands that Booker be disqualified, but no call is made! After what seems like an eternity, Booker gets back to his feet and slides HHH back into the ring! He slides in and makes the cover, 1…2…Shawn Michaels pulls Charles Robinson under the bottom rope to stop the count! Michaels argues with Robinson as Shane McMahon makes his way down to the ring! Shane gets in HBK’s face and demands he head to the back! Booker rolls to the outside and blasts HBK anyway!

HHH boots Booker and goes for the Pedigree, but Booker fights out and kicks HHH! Booker hits the ropes and hits the Scissors’ Kick! Cover by Booker T! Robinson was distracted helping Shane McMahon get Shawn Michaels away from ringside, but slides into the ring…1…2…no! Triple H somehow finds a way to get his shoulder up at the 2.999 mark! Booker sends HHH off the ropes and plants him with his own spinebuster before dragging HHH to the corner. Booker heads to the top rope, but Eric Bischoff hits Booker in the back of that bad knee with the WCW World title belt, undetected by Robinson! Booker still sits on the top rope, trying to stand as HHH meets him up there…and hits a superplex! HHH slowly gets to his feet but picks Booker T up as well…before planting him with another Pedigree! 1…2…3!

Winner: Triple H via pinfall in 27:25 (Retains)

Eric Bischoff
collects Triple H and helps him to the back while holding onto HHH’s WCW World Championship. Shane McMahon runs back down to check on Booker T. It looks like Booker tells Shane what happened, to which Shane does not look happy.

Mike Tenay: “It looked like Booker T had that won Don!”

Don West: “It doesn’t matter, Mike. When it was all done Triple H once again proved he will put out all the stops to be WCW World Champion!

Mike Tenay:
“It’s a shame. An absolute shame. I thought for sure Booker T was going to win his 6th WCW World Championship tonight. We’re gonna send it to Joey Styles for a couple of title matches, we’ll be back later tonight!”

***

The camera cuts to the locker room as Kurt Angle stares into a mirror. Angle looks very angry after seeing that none of the fans voted for him at all to take on Triple H tonight.

Winners: AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn when Styles pinned Skipper in 9:49 (Retains)

When walking down the aisle with the ECW Tag Team titles, Styles and Lynn look back at Skipper and Helms, nodding their heads in a form of respect. Helms simply shakes his head in the ring as he helps Skipper back up.

***

Joey Styles: “AJ Styles
and Jerry Lynn overcome another tough challenge for their ECW World Tag Team Championship. Well coming up next, we have the ECW World Television Championship on the line!”

Tazz:
Joey, there are some really tough challengers on the block here for Rey tonight. You’ve got Shelton, who’s been itching at a chance to win ECW gold. Crazy and Tajiri, two Cruiserweights who pound-for-pound will give Rey everything he can handle. Of course there’s Sabu, my arch-rival. He and Rey tore the house down last month at Anarchy Rulz and you know Sabu would love another shot at Rey! Let’s not forget the ultra-intense Saturn or the nephew of the man Rey beat for the title, Chavo Jr.!” Hey Joey, Rey is headed down to the ring now!”

As Rey Mysterio Jr. enters the ring, he looks up at the big screen like everyone else to see who will challenge him for the ECW Television Championship.

Sabu: 69%
Shelton Benjamin: 19.8%
Tajiri: 5.7%
Chavo Guerrero Jr.: 5.4%
Saturn: 0%
Super Crazy: 0%
CW Anderson: 0%
John Kronus: 0%

Rey takes a deep breath as “Huka Blues” plays!


Joey Styles: It’s rematch time here in Seattle! Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Sabu!”

ECW Television Championship
Rey Mysterio Jr. © vs. Sabu (w/Bill Alfonso)


Sabu immediately lunges at Rey’s leg and takes him down, followed by an elbow drop. Rey quickly rolls out of the ring to escape Sabu, but Sabu follows up with a dive off the apron, taking Rey down. Sabu punches away at Rey on the floor before grabbing a steel chair. Sabu throws the chair at Rey, but Rey ducks and the chair smashes against the ring post. Rey gets a couple of shots in at Sabu to slow him down, then jumps up to the apron himself. Rey dives off with a sunset flip! Rey sets up a chair on the outside and puts Sabu in a seated position. Rey slides back into the ring, hits the ropes and springboards off the top rope, only Sabu moves and Rey crashes into the chair! Sabu rolls Rey into the ring as Bill Alfonso sets up a table. Sabu takes the chair and violently throws it against Rey’s skull! Cover from Sabu, 1…2…Rey kicks out.

Rey tries to mount an offensive but runs right into a back bodydrop from Sabu! Sabu sets up a chair as Rey tries to recover in the corner…and Sabu hits Air Sabu! Sabu sets up the chair again and hits the ropes, but Rey surprises him with a drop toehold that sends Sabu face-first into the chair. Rey dropkicks Sabu in the back and goes for the 6-1-9…and he hits Bill Alfonso! Alfonso was trying to protect Sabu. Rey is still in the ropes as Sabu punches away at him, then quickly leaps up to the second rope and drops a legdrop, trapping Rey’s body in the ropes! Sabu drags Rey on the outside to the table that’s set up and puts Rey on it. Sabu comes back into the ring and points to the sky. He sets up a chair and leaps off it to the top rope, but Rey has a chair of his own and throws it at Sabu’s legs, causing Sabu to be crotched on the top rope! Rey leaps up to the top rope, and catches Sabu off the ropes with an avalanche hurricanrana that sends Sabu flying through the table!

Joey Styles:
“Oh my God!”

Rey slides Sabu into the ring and follows with a springboard seated senton! 1…2…Sabu kicks out. Rey hits the ropes and ducks a Sabu clothesline, hitting Sabu with a springboard crossbody! 1…2…Sabu kicks out again. Rey jumps up to the top rope and goes for a moonsault, but Sabu moves out of the way…but Rey does land on his feet. It doesn’t matter as Sabu springboards off the ropes and hits Rey with a leg lariat! Sabu then stomps on Rey’s back before locking in the Camel Clutch! Sabu rears back as much as he can, putting immense pressure on Rey’s back. After wearing down Rey, Sabu releases and places a chair in the middle of the ring. Sabu goes for a hurricanrana, but Rey plants him on the chair with a powerbomb to counter! This leaves both men lying on their backs in the ring! Sabu and Rey try to get back on their feet at the same time, then trade punches. Rey hits the ropes and jumps into Sabu in the wheelbarrow position and goes for a bulldog, but Sabu shoves him off. Bill Alfonso slides a table in the ring and Sabu tries to quickly set it up. Rey runs at Sabu but Sabu again receives a chair to the face! Sabu rolls Rey onto the table and then leaps up to the top rope, and crashes through Rey and the table with an Arabian Skullcrusher! Sabu covers Rey, 1…2…3!

Winner: Sabu via pinfall in 13:58 (New Champion)

Joey Styles:
“We have a new champion, Tazz! Sabu has now completed the ECW triple crown!

Tazz:
“What a match, Joey!” Sabu is the new TV Champion! But Joey, that’s 1 to 1 now! We’re going to have to see a rubber match eventually!”

Sabu points to the sky as Bill Alfonso takes the ECW Television Championship and hugs him! Rey tries to get his bearings as he clearly favors his head.

***

Joey Styles:
“Well coming up next Tazz, another chapter will be written in the war between ECW and The New World Order. The fans voted for one participant for the on each side. Representing ECW is Total Impact, made up of Lance Storm, Mike Awesome, and Chris Candido, as well as The Sandman, Balls Mahoney, Tommy Dreamer, and Spike Dudley. On the NWO side is X-Factor, that’s that traitor Justin Credible and X-Pac as well as the member of the organization that the NWO paid off, the Full-Blooded Italians. Everyone not picked will be at ringside with a weapon in hand as a Lumberjack!”

After a lengthy entrance from The Sandman, everyone stands around the ring as the results come up. The New World Order/FBI are up first.

X-Pac: 60.5%
Justin Credible: 39.5%
Little Guido: 0%
Tracy Smothers: 0%
Big Sal E. Graziano: 0%
Tony Mamaluke: 0%
Big Daddy Vincenzo: 0%

X-Pac does a few crotch crops as he enters the ring, looking ready to fight whomever. The fans make it clear who they want from the ECW side:

Mike Awesome: 100%
Lance Storm: 0%
Chris Candido: 0%
The Sandman: 0%
Tommy Dreamer: 0%
Spike Dudley: 0%
Balls Mahoney: 0%

Realization hits X-Pac, who has to go one-on-one with
Mike Awesome!

Weapon Mix-N-Match Lumberjack Match
Mike Awesome vs. X-Pac


X-Pac attacks Awesome as soon as Awesome enters the ring, but Awesome shoves him, then throws him over the top rope into the ECW lumberjacks! X-Pac quickly slides into the ring before the lumberjacks get a hold of him, but he’s leveled by an Awesome clothesline. Awesome presses X-Pac over his head…but surprisingly throws him over the top rope into the NWO/FBI lumberjacks! Awesome then springboards off the top rope and dives onto all of the FBI and Justin Credible! The FBI swarm Awesome as ECW and Total Impact come around and it took a mere couple of minutes for all hell to break loose! X-Pac gets back into the ring and has a pizza box that the FBI brought with them. Awesome slides back in as the factions continue to fight on the outside. X-Pac smashes the pizza box over Awesome’s head which does stun him! Cover, 1…2…Awesome powers out with authority!

Justin Credible runs in, but Awesome ducks him and Credible runs into a Singapore Cane shot from Sandman! Mahoney takes Credible and destroys a chair over his head! Vincenzo and Sal slide in a table then slide into the ring themselves, but Awesome hits them both with a double clothesline, then hits a double shoulder block to knock them both out of the ring. Tony Mamaluke has another pizza box and tries to hit Awesome, but Awesome blocks and smashes it over Mamaluke’s head! Awesome then takes what’s in the box out, and it’s a steel tray! X-Pac spin kicks the tray into Awesome’s face! Another cover, 1….2…Awesome kicks out again. X-Pac sets up the table that was slid in the ring, but Chris Candido jumps onto the apron and grabs X-Pac by the hair. X-Pac fight him off, allowing Awesome to run over X-Pac with a big clothesline. With the table set up Awesome sets up X-Pac for an Awesome Bomb, but from behind…it’s Albert?! Albert bashes Awesome in the back with a chair. Albert sets Awesome up and hits the Baldo Bomb through the table, then leaves X-Pac on Awesome! 1…2…3!

Winner: X-Pac via pinfall in 5:36

X-Factor
escapes as the FBI continue to brawl with ECW! Albert carries both Justin Credible and the victorious X-Pac to the back, although X-Pac is able to raise his hand in victory. Mike Awesome gets back to his feet and realizes what’s happened, and goes on an absolute tear of the Full Blooded Italians! Awesome smashes them all with chairs before grabbing Little Guido and planting him in the middle of the ring with an Awesome Bomb! Eventually the FBI back down as Awesome continues to fume.

***

Joey Styles:
“Just unbelievable, Tazz. Somehow, X-Factor always seems to get away with being an absolute pain in the ass. I mean really, Albert?”

Tazz:
“You can’t underestimate X-Pac as he’s a cagey vet who always has a plan.”

Joey Styles: “Anyway, it’s time to move on. We’ve got one more match to call, partner. The ECW World Championship is on the line between, for my money, the best two wrestlers in the world. ECW World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam takes on Eddie Guerrero. The only question, is what type of match are we about to see? Will it be a Ladder Match? A Last Man Standing Match or the Mexican Strap Match? Let’s find out what you, the fans, chose for tonight’s ECW World Championship Match!”

Mexican Strap Match: 48%
Ladder Match: 42.5%
Last Man Standing: 9.5%


Tazz: “Whoa, Joey!”

Joey Styles:
“There you have it. Both Rob Van Dam and Eddie Guerrero will have a 12-foot leather strap tied to their wrists. To win, one must touch the top turnbuckle of all four corners of the ring without being interrupted!”

Eddie Guerrero cockily makes his way to the ring, strap in hand. Guerrero tells the camera that he’s going to whip RVD like a dog before winning the ECW World Championship. RVD makes his way out next of course, looking as confident as ever.

ECW World Championship – Mexican Strap Match
Rob Van Dam © (w/Bill Alfonso) vs. Eddie Guerrero


The strap is attached to both men as both RVD and Guerrero try to pull themselves towards the other. RVD tries a kick but Guerrero remains out of RVD’s range. Guerrero mouths off to someone in the crowd, allowing RVD to pull him in with the strap. Eddie ducks the roundhouse kick, but RVD whips him in the ass with the strap instead! Eddie tries to get away from RVD, only to get pulled in and hit with the roundhouse kick! Guerrero bails to the outside, but RVD again pulls him with the strap and Guerrero ends up running straight into the ringpost! RVD jumps out to the apron and splashes Guerrero! RVD whips Guerrero some more before playing to the crowd himself. RVD slides Guerrero back into the ring, but now it’s Guerrero who pulls the strap and RVD crashes into the ring apron. Guerrero drags RVD into the ring and whips him over and over with the strap! Guerrero makes his way to the first corner and touches it, but RVD pulls him back towards the center of the ring and backdrops him! Corkscrew legdrop from RVD!

RVD heads to the corner and touches the first one. RVD makes his way to the second one, but Guerrero pulls the strap back and gets a dropkick. Guerrero wraps the strap around RVD’s neck and tries to choke RVD out! RVD looks like he’s running out of air and passes out! Guerrero releases then begins to drag RVD around the ring. Guerrero touches two turnbuckles, but RVD comes back to life and tosses Guerrero over the top rope to the outside…but RVD sends Guerrero too far, and the strap forces RVD to go flying over the top rope onto the floor as well! RVD gets back to his feet first and slams Guerrero into the barricade. RVD impales Guerrero onto the apron as Bill Alfonso holds a chair in place. RVD leaps up to the apron, but Guerrero pulls him off and RVD crashes onto the floor! Guerrero takes the chair from RVD and blasts Alfonso with a right hand! Guerrero levels RVD with the chair, hitting him right between the eyes! Guerrero dumps RVD over the top rope back into the ring, then hits him with a slingshot senton, coming over the top rope himself. Guerrero begins with path around the ring, hitting two turnbuckles with ease. RVD starts to pull Guerrero as Guerrero goes for the third one, but Guerrero pulls RVD in and hits him with an elbow. Guerrero hits the third turnbuckle, but this time RVD successfully pulls Guerrero back to the center of the ring. Guerrero blocks a kick, but RVD hits an enzugiri anyway!

RVD checks his head and finds some blood from the chair shot earlier. RVD asks Alfonso for a chair and Alfonso throws one in. Guerrero ducks the chairshot though and grabs RVD in a waistlock, then slams him back with a German suplex! Guerrero ties RVD’s legs together with the strap, then begins to pull him around the ring again. Guerrero gets two turnbuckles until RVD grabs onto the ropes. Despite his feet being tied together VD is able to pull Guerrero in and hit him in the face with both feet. RVD loosens the strap around his feet, then rolls and hits Guerrero with Rolling Thunder! RVD begins to drag Guerrero to the corner. RVD manages to hit two turnbuckles before Guerrero pulls him in. RVD ducks a clothesline though and hits Guerrero with a jumping back kick! RVD makes his way to the corner again and gets credit for the third turnbuckle. RVD reaches out for the fourth, but Guerrero manages to pull RVD in and hits him with a low blow!

Guerrero drags RVD to the corner and jumps up to the top rope, but RVD pulls him down and Guerrero ends up rolling through. Guerrero misses a clothesline and hits the corner. RVD jumps onto Guerrero and monkey flips him out of the corner, although Guerrero’s landing gets messed up too as the strap pulls Guerrero back down to the canvas! RVD tries to grab the chair, but Guerrero fights him for it. RVD releases, then hits Guerrero with the Van Daminator! RVD again drags Guerrero to the corner and hits the top turnbuckle. RVD drags Guerrero to the second one. RVD reaches out for the third, but Guerrero has some life in him. Guerrero manages to pull RVD towards him but RVD takes him right out with a spinning heel kick! RVD heads to the corner and leaps up to the top rope. He doesn’t jump as high because of the strap, but RVD hits the Four?-Star Frog Splash nonetheless. Referee Jim Mollineaux considers that the third turnbuckle, and RVD dives at the fourth, winning the match!

Winner: Rob Van Dam in 18:22 (Retains)

Rob Van Dam
celebrates with Bill Alfonso in the ring, as Chavo Guerrero Jr. comes down to help his uncle up. Eddie pushes him off and disgustedly walks up the ramp, clearly not happy he did not beat RVD tonight.

Jeremy Borash:
Jeremy Borash here and I am backstage with the challengers tonight for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. Gentlemen, you’ve each faced the Outsiders many times over the years. What’s the gameplan tonight to win the titles back?”

Diamond Dallas Page: “The gameplan? Easy, Borash. I cut down that punk Scott Hall with the Diamond Cutter while the big man here chokeslams that scum Kevin Nash through the ring. Like everyone else, we’re sick of the New World Order. It’s been six years of this crap. But it all started with Nash and Hall. We take them out, bada bing, then the NWO goes down with them, bada bang! No matter what match it is, DDP and the Big G win back the belts tonight!”

The camera zooms in on the angry face of The Giant as we cut back to the arena.

Mike Tenay:
“Once again, Mike Tenay along with Don West. Earlier, we saw Booker T win the fan vote for the WCW World Championship Match over Kurt Angle with a perfect 100%, but unfortunately Booker did not succeed in his match to win the title. Now Angle still has a chance here to leave Cyberslam with some gold, as he will be entered into a Battle Royal, with a match for the US Title against Christian taking place immediately after the Battle Royal ends.”

Don West:
Mike, there’s a lot of talented guys in this one. O’Haire. Regal. Kidman. But Kurt Angle looks angry and I’d try to avoid him as long as I can in this Battle Royal.”

Battle Royal for a WCW United States Championship Match
Alex Wright vs. The Barbarian vs. Billy Kidman vs. Brian Christopher vs. Chuck Palumbo vs. Disco Inferno vs. Fit Finlay vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. Hugh Morrus vs. Kurt Angle vs. Meng vs. Rene Dupree vs. Sean O’Haire vs. Test vs. William Regal


Angle wastes no time in attacking Christopher and dumping him over the top rope (Elimination #1: Christopher by Angle). Disco and Wright try to avenge their fallen stablemate, but Disco too gets thrown out by Angle with ease (Elimination #2: Disco by Angle). Wright manages to hold on and gets hit with a German suplex for his troubles! Regal and Finlay double team Test in a corner, while Duggan tries his luck hitting both Meng and Barbarian with clotheslines. Palumbo squares off with his former tag team partner O’Haire. Angle finishes off the dancing fools as he hits Wright with another German then sends him out (Elimination #3: Wright by Angle). Hugh Morrus military presses Kidman, but Kidman slides behind him and hits a dropkick. Dupree comes running at Kidman and while Kidman ducks, he gets Morrus and Morrus goes out (Elimination #4: Morrus by Dupree). The Faces of Fear try to get Palumbo out, but Test makes a surprising save by dumping Barbarian out instead (Elimination #5: Barbarian by Test). Test and Palumbo seem to agree on an alliance, but Meng hits them both with shots to the neck.

Angle challenges both Finlay and Regal at the same time, but O’Haire takes a cheap shot at Angle. All three men try to get Angle out, but Angle breaks free. Belly-to-belly suplex on O’Haire! Double clothesline takes out Regal and Finlay! Duggan rocks Meng with a clothesline out of the three-point stance, but when he tries it a second time Meng just backdrops him out (Elimination #6: Duggan by Meng). Angle immediately follows up from behind and sends Meng tumbling out (Elimination #7: Meng by Angle). Kidman, Palumbo, Finlay, Angle, Dupree, O’Haire, Test, and Regal remain. Palumbo and O’Haire go at it again as Finlay and Test trade blows. Kidman hits Regal with a flying head scissors. Dupree tries to back away from Angle, which allows Finlay to attack Angle. Finlay tries to get Angle out, and Dupree helps him, but Angle ties himself into the ropes. Regal also helps, making it three-on-one, but that allows Palumbo to hit Regal with a jungle kick. O’Haire uses that distract to send Palumbo out (Elimination #8: Palumbo by O’Haire). Kidman comes off the top rope with a body press that knocks down O’Haire! Angle slides under the bottom rope, and suddenly Finlay is the one eliminated thanks to pressure from Angle (Elimination #9: Finlay by Angle, Regal, and Dupree). Angle ducks out of the way, and a big boot from Test sends Regal flying over the top rope! (Elimination #10: Regal by Test).

Angle, Kidman, O’Haire, Test, and Dupree. Test tries to take out Dupree with another big boot, but Dupree moves and Test crotches himself on the top rope, allowing O’Haire to hit a roundhouse kick and send Test to the floor (Elimination #11: Test by O’Haire). Dupree manages to slam down Angle, and decides to dance around with the French Tickler! This costs him, as Kidman comes from behind with a headscissors that sends Dupree over the top rope. He lands on the apron, but Kidman leaps off the second rope with a dropkick that knocks him to the floor! (Elimination #12: Dupree by Kidman). Angle gets a fireman’s carry on Kidman, but Kidman lands on his feet. Kidman ducks the roundhouse kick from O’Haire and O’Haire nails Angle. Dropkick to the back of O’Haire by Kidman! Kidman punches away at Angle and then catches him with a headscissors. O’Haire attacks Kidman from behind. O’Haire sets him up for a powerbomb, but Kidman counters into a facebuster! Kidman heads to the top rope, but O’Haire kicks Angle into the ropes, crotching Kidman. O’Haire leaps up to the top rope and hits Kidman with an elbow, which sends him crashing to the floor! (Elimination #13: Kidman by O’Haire).

Kurt Angle vs. Sean O’Haire. Angle runs at O’Haire but hits the turnbuckles as O’Haire moved out of the way. O’Haire hits some kicks to the midsection. O’Haire lifts up Angle for the Prophecy, but Angle slides behind O’Haire and tries to hit him with a German! O’Haire elbows himself free, then runs at and leaps up the turnbuckles! O’Haire does a backflip, landing right in front of Angle! Angle then hits O’Haire with a violent German suplex! Angle locks in the Ankle Lock, but O’Haire hops on his free foot and tries to escape by sending Angle over the top rope! There isn’t enough momentum though, and Angle just hits the ropes. O’Haire misses a wild clothesline and Angle hits him with the Angle Slam! O’Haire gets back to his feet right away…and Angle clotheslines him out to win!

Winner: Kurt Angle when he last eliminated Sean O’Haire in 13:19

WCW US Champion Christian
runs down to the ring and blasts Angle with the US title belt! He then demands the bell be rung!

WCW United States Championship
Christian © vs. Kurt Angle


Christian punches and stomps away on the back of Angle’s neck. Angle tries to get back on his feet but Christian stomps him over and over in the corner. Angle eventually explodes out of the corner and nails Christian with a jumping clothesline! Angle sends Christian off the ropes and goes for the backdrop, but Christian leaps over him for a sunset flip! Angle rolls though and grabs Christian’s ankle, but Christian is able to break free and hit the ropes. It doesn’t go much better for Christian as he runs right into a belly-to-belly suplex from Angle! Angle covers, 1…2…Christian kicks out. Christian misses a punch and Angle drops him with a high-angle belly-to-back suplex! Angle mounts Christian’s back and crossface punches him, before picking him up from the mat for a German suplex! Angle holds on and hits Christian with another German! And a third! A fourth! Angle hits Christian with seven German suplexes, then plants Christian with the Angle Slam! 1…2…3!

Winner: Kurt Angle via pinfall in 3:38 (New Champion)

Mike Tenay:
“Just like that, Christian’s near 8 month US title reign is over! Kurt Angle just destroyed Christian!”

Don West:
“Congratulations to Kurt Angle, but man I feel like Christian got screwed here, Mike. He didn’t know who he was going to face until the match happened!”

***

Scott Hall:
Hey yo! Even though the Outsiders won the World Tag Team Titles, it seems like everyone’s counting us out, Big Kev. Diamond Dallas Page. Giant. You couldn’t hang with the bad guys back in the day, and you ain’t gonna be able to hang with the bad guys tonight either. These belts, these belts ain’t going nowhere. Whether it’s the street fight, or the ladder match, or the cage, we’re gonna do what we do best and that’s carve you two up!”

Kevin Nash: Just like the old days. The New World Order will come out on top just like we always do! Talk of the NWO's demise has been overblown! Long live the NWO. Long live the Wolfpac! DDP, Giant, we’re gonna take you out just like we always do. And it’s gonna be just too sweet!”

***

Mike Tenay:
“Well Don, we’ve got one more left tonight. The WCW World Tag Team Championship is on the line as the Outsiders defend against the team they took the titles from at The Great American Bash, Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant! The choices for the match type were as follows: a Street Fight, a Ladder Match, or a Cage Match. Before we send it to Michael Buffer, let’s see what you, the fans, chose for tonight’s main event!”

Steel Cage: 40%
Ladder Match: 36.8%
Street Fight: 23.5%


IrIz3-UHKoOIDk5R.jpg


Michael Buffer: Ladies and gentlemen, viewers watching at home, it is time for the main event of the 2002 Cyberslam Pay-Per-View extravaganza! Tonight is a historic match for the WCW World Tag Team Championship! Tonight’s match stipulation, voted by the fans of WCW is a Steel Cage Match. To win the match, one team must fully escape the cage, or they must pin or force a submission on one of their opponents.”

“ARE YOU READY?”

“SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, ARE…YOU…REEEEEEEEADY?”

For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world…ladies and gentlemen….”


“LEEEEEEEEET’S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLE!”

The Wolfpac theme plays as the WCW World Tag Team Champions, The Outsiders, make their way to the ring. Surprisingly, they are accompanied by Alexis Laree, who we haven’t seen since July.

Michael Buffer: Accompanied to the ring by Alexis Laree. They are perhaps the most notorious tag team in the history of professional wrestling. Weighing in at a combined weight of over five hundred and eighty pounds. The founders of the New World Order, they are eight-time WCW World Tag Team Champions. Scott Hall! Kevin Nash! The Ouuuuuuutsiders!”

BANG! “Smells like Teen Spirit” plays as Stacy Keibler leads Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant down to the ring!

Michael Buffer: The challengers. Led to the ring by the longest pair of legs in professional wrestling, Stacy Keibler, they are the heart and soul of World Championship Wrestling. Combined they have held the WCW World Championship four times. At a combined weight of over seven hundred and fifty pounds! The Master of the Diamond Cutter, DDP, Diamond Dallas Page and The Largest Athlete in the World…Thhhhhhhhhe GIANT!”

The steel cage comes down…

It suddenly hits the Outsiders that they are locked in a steel cage with DDP and Giant…and nowhere to run. Nash tries to attack the Giant with forearms as DDP and Hall go at it. Giant shrugs off Nash’s forearms and hits some big blows of his own, followed by a huge headbutt. Giant then grabs Hall and sends him flying into the cage. Giant props Nash in the corner and buries his knee in Nash’s gut as DDP punches away at Hall. Giant chokes Nash with his boot, but Hall counters a DDP clothesline and sends DDP into the cage. Hall then jumps on Giant’s back, and Nash gets some blows in to knock Giant down to one knee. Nash props Giant up in the corner and pounds away at him with big punches. Hall locks DDP in an abdominal stretch to begin wearing him out. Nash comes off the ropes and tries to knock the Giant down with a clothesline. He staggers Giant, but Giant stays on his feet. Nash comes off the ropes again, but Giant hits a big boot that knocks Nash down. Giant grabs Hall by the throat and violently throws him into the cage!

Nash tries to sneak out of the cage door, and Alexis Laree hands him a baseball bat before Giant pulls him back in. Nash smashes the bat over Giant’s head, finally knocking him down and maybe knocking him out. DDP tries to attack Nash, but Nash gets him in the ribs with the bat! Nash and Hall stomp and beat down DDP and Giant. Nash has the door opened and asks Laree to bring in a table. Laree slides a table through the door before Stacy Keibler pulls her by the hair! Keiber and Laree go at it on the outside as we have a catfight! Nash and Hall continue to pound away on Giant and DDP before slamming them into the cage. Nash picks up DDP and slams him hard with a sidewalk slam. Nash and Halls set up the table and Hall sets DDP up, but DDP fights his way out. DDP swings at both Hall and Nash, but Nash gets a knee to the midsection that stops DDP in his tracks.

Nash sets DDP up for the Jackknife, but when Nash gets him up DDP holds onto the cage and starts punching at Nash! The Giant has risen back to his feet. Giant grabs Hall and slams him into the cage, before picking up the ballbat and smashing it right into Nash’s ribs as DDP punches away at him! On the outside Stacy Keibler tosses Alexis Laree into the barricade, winning the catfight, then slides in a couple of steel chairs! Hall and Nash are both staggering as DDP and Giant smash the chairs over the Outsider’s heads! The Giant points to the table and grabs Nash by the throat…Chokeslam through the table! DDP picks up Hall and drops him in the middle of the ring with the Diamond Cutter! Giant puts his foot on Nash as DDP covers Hall, 1…2…3!

Winners: Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant via double-pin in 12:04 (New Champions)

Stacy Keibler
brings in the WCW World Tag team Title belts as DDP climbs to the top of the cage and raises his belt over his head. The Giant puts his title over his shoulder, and shoots Kevin Nash, still out in the table wreckage, one last glare! Cyberslam goes off the air with the new Tag Team Champions headed back up the ramp!

WCW Monday Night Nitro
September 2, 2002
Tri-Cities Coliseum
Kennewick, WA


New WCW United States Champion Kurt Angle walks into the arena from the parking lot with an intense glare on his face.



Mike Tenay: “Welcome to Nitro, everyone. You saw Kurt Angle entering the Tr-Cities Coliseum moments ago, he defends his newly won US Championship against X-Pac!”

Don West: Mike, I’m here for the fallout of Cyberslam!

Mike Tenay: “I’m sure we’ll hear from the NWO, as well as Booker T, and of course, the new WCW World Tag Team Champions Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant! But kicking us off is some Cruiserweight action as Super Crazy defends against Psicosis!”

World Cruiserweight Championship
Super Crazy © vs. Psicosis


Super Crazy wastes no time and sprints at Psicosis and catches him with a flying headscissors! Psicosis backs up into the corner and Crazy punches and chops him until Psicosis fires a kick. Psicosis pulls Crazy into the middle of the ring and plants him with a DDT. Cover, 1…2…Crazy kicks out. Psicosis gets his own flying headscissors, then dropkicks Crazy. Another cover, 1…2…another kickout from Crazy. Psicosis tries for an armdrag, but Crazy counters and tries his own, only for Psicosis to land on his feet. Elbow to the face from Psicosis. Snapmare from Psicosis, but Crazy lands on his feet. Both men come off the ropes and Crazy leapfrogs Psicosis. Crazy leaps at him for a hurricanrana, but Psicosis drops him, planting him with a powerbomb! Another cover, 1…2…Crazy kicks out again.

Psicosis locks in an armbar to slow things down for a moment, but Crazy gets back to his feet. Crazy breaks the armbar and hits chops. One huge slam really sends Psicosis reeling. Crazy hits the ropes, but Psicosis surprises him with a spinning heel kick! Psicosis quickly heads to the top rope and calls for the Guillotine Legdrop, but Crazy moves and Psicosis crashes to the canvas! Springboard moonsault from Crazy! Cover, 1…2…Psicosis kicks out. Psicosis counters an Irish whip and hits Crazy with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Cover, 1…2…Crazy kicks out again. Enzugiri sends Crazy through the ropes. Psicosis hits the ropes and hits a tope con hilo, somersaulting over the top rope onto Crazy! Psicosis sends Crazy back into the ring and heads to the top tope and hits a missile dropkick! Another cover on Crazy, 1…2…Crazy still kicks out!

Crazy ducks a clothesline from Psicosis, then hits a German suplex with a bridge! 1...2…Psicosis kicks out. Crazy sets Psicosis up for a Tiger Powerbomb, but Psicosis backdrops him. Psicosis sets Crazy up for a brainbuster, but when he has Crazy up…Crazy kicks his feet back down, and hits Psicosis with his own brainbuster! Crazy leaps up to the top rope, but Psicosis is able to recover enough to shove the referee into the ropes, crotching Crazy on the top rope. Psicosis makes his way up, looking to superplex Crazy, but Crazy hits chops and sends Psicosis crashing to the canvas! Crazy turns around on the top rope and lands a Corkscrew Moonsault! 1…2…3!

Winner: Super Crazy via pinfall in 8:57 (Retains)

Kevin Kelly
is walking backstage, when Diamond Dallas Page calls him over.

Diamond Dallas Page: “Hey, Kelly!

DDP, Giant, and Stacy Keibler walk over to Kelly.

Kevin Kelly: “Yes, Dallas?”

Diamond Dallas Page:Me and the Big Man, we have a challenge to throw out there. See, as the new World Tag Team Champions we feel an obligation to defend these belts each and every night. Now because The Outsiders aren’t eligible for a rematch, we’re gonna move on from them. Giant and I, we want the big gold. But we gotta get Triple H in the ring and beat his ass to prove we deserve the next title shot. So, if the scum NWO want these belts back, we’ll put ‘em up tonight…as long as Triple H is one of the challengers! You know where to find us, send Bisch to let us know!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Christian (w/Rene Dupree) vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan


Duggan surprises Christian with a clothesline to the mouth! Duggan hits Christian with lefts and rights. Duggan sends Christian off the ropes and backdrops him! Duggan poses to the crowd, but when he turns his attention back to Christian he gets his eyes raked. Christian then shoves Duggan into the corner and punches away before choking him. Christian then sends Duggan shoulder first into the ringpost! Duggan staggers backwards and Christian plants him with a falling reverse DDT. Christian teases a pin before deciding to stomp away on the shoulder instead. Christian tosses Duggan to the floor, and the referee holds Christian back. Rene Dupree picks up Duggan and slams him on the floor! Dupree slides Duggan back in, and Christian continues to stomp on the shoulder.

Christian doesn’t seem interested in winning the match, but instead letting our frustrations from losing the US title last night. Christian drags Duggan’s arm to the corner and slams it against the ringpost! Christian pulls Duggan’s arm as far as he can while wrapped around the post, and at this point Duggan has no strength in his arm. Duggan gets back to his feet, but Christian comes off the second rope with a dropkick, knocking him back down. Christian quickly hooks Duggan’s arms, but Duggan manages to escape! Duggan hits Christian with punches from his good arm. He gets in the three-point stance, but Christian catches the clothesline and hooks Duggan behind him, then plants him with the Unprettier! 1…2…3!

Winner: Christian via pinfall in 6:00

Christian
calls for Rene Dupree to bring in a chair. Christian takes the chair and smashes it over Duggan’s arm! Christian continually smashes Duggan’s arm before disgustedly looking at the crowd, then points to his waist, indicating he wants his US Title back.

***

Eric Bischoff
finds Triple H in the NWO locker room.

Eric Bischoff: Hunter, DDP and Giant, they laid out a challenge for the Tag Belts.

Triple H: “So what does that have to do with me? Let Kevin and Scott know."

Eric Bischoff: “No, no. They want the WCW Title. They think they can get a shot if they beat you in the ring.”

Triple H: “You know, maybe it’s time to show Kevin and Scott that it’s time to start taking some of these things seriously around here. I don’t know how they lost last night, but sometimes, Eric, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Tonight, I win the WCW World Tag Team Championship. Sean, come over here.”

Sean O’Haire walks over to Triple H.

Triple H: “Last night, you had a chance to be a champion, and you couldn’t get by Kurt Angle. Well Sean, tonight you’re going to learn something. I have no doubt you are the future of this business, Sean, but you don’t have the killer instinct that I do. Frankly no one in the NWO does. And that needs to stop. So Sean, we’re going to beat Diamond Dallas and Giant tonight. You better be ready."

WCW United States Championship
Kurt Angle © vs. X-Pac (w/Justin Credible and Albert)


Angle tries to grab X-Pac’s foot right away, but X-Pac wraps himself up in the ropes to evade Angle. X-Pac taunts Angle, jokingly going into a Kung Fu stance, and Angle quickly grabs him and hits a belly-to-belly suplex! X-Pac quickly bails to the outside and Angle chases him. Justin Credible tries to get in Angle’s way, but Angle just blasts him with a punch. X-Pac slides back into the ring and when Angle does the same X-Pac is all over him. X-Pac hits Angle with a spinkick that sends him into a sitting position in the corner. X-Pac goes for the Bronco Buster, but Angle moves and X-Pac crotches himself in the corner! Angle throws X-Pac out of the corner with a German suplex! Angle locks in the Ankle Lock, but Justin Credible runs in and attacks, causing the DQ!

Winner: Kurt Angle via DQ in 3:02 (Retains)

Angle
fights off both Credible and X-Pac when Albert takes him out with a Pump Kick! Angle tries to fight one-on-three, but to no avail. Albert grabs Angle by the throat for the Albert Bomb…but here comes Booker T! Booker takes out X-Pac with a roundhouse kick then throws Credible over the top rope. Flying forearm knocks Albert to the outside! Booker checks on Angle, but when Angle sees who just saved him, he pulls himself away. X-Factor, despite being chased off, seems happy with their attack on Kurt Angle regardless.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


X-Factor
brags backstage about what they just did to Kurt Angle before being confronted by Shane McMahon.

Shane McMahon: You three. You’re crazy if you think I’m going to let you get involved in the main event tonight between DDP, Giant, HHH and O’Haire. So I’m going to be the boss right now and tell you all to get the hell out of the building.”

X-Pac mocks Shane, pointing to his crotch…

X-Pac: “Yeah well I got two words for you Shane!”

Shane McMahon: “Yeah I got two words for you too. Get out! Get out, or your boys forfeit against DDP and Giant tonight.”

Eric Bischoff comes over to step between Shane and X-Factor. X-Factor backs up and heads to the parking lot…where they are attacked by Total Impact! Mike Awesome, Chris Candido and Lance Storm get the jump on X-Factor before WCW officials run to the back to break them up! Awesome and Albert are especially hard to break up as they pound on one another…although eventually they are broken up!

***

Kurt Angle
sits in the locker room looking at the WCW United States Championship when Booker T walks up to him.

Booker T: “Look man I get it. Last night, the people picked me over you. I’d be mad too. But last night is in the past, and Triple H still has that WCW World Championship. The NWO is gonna hold onto that thing until we break through, man.”

Kurt Angle: “So what happened then? How come the only one with gold is me, Booker? The people must have forgotten that the last time we faced, Starrcade, I beat you right in the middle of the ring. Maybe the reason Triple H still has the World Title is because you aren’t good enough?”

Booker T: “That’s how you wanna play this? First off, I am good enough. Make no mistake about it. And you and I, we gonna that dance in the ring again one day, and it’s gonna be me who walks out the winner. Hell maybe I’ll take that US Title from you if you want to do it! But man, this is what Triple H wants. He wants all the guys gunning for him to gun for each other. So you can be mad at me all you want for last night if you want. When Triple H goes down, we can take care of our beef. But we gotta take him down first sucka. Now you think about that!”

Booker T walks off, and Kurt Angle coldly stares at him doing so, before looking back at the WCW United States Championship.

***

Billy Kidman and Test (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. William Regal and Fit Finlay


The match beings with a four-way brawl. Kidman punches away at Regal while Test gets into a slugfest with Finlay. Eventually Kidman and Regal end up as the legal men. Dropkick from Kidman. Kidman hiptosses Regal and makes the cover, 1…2…Regal kicks out. Regal stops Kidman with a knee to the midsection and then rakes his eyes across the top rope. Regal is now in full control as he pounds away on Kidman with European uppercuts before tagging in Finlay. Finlay snapmares Kidman over and then hits a senton. Atomic drop sends Kidman into the corner, and when Kidman tries to get out Regal pulls his hair from behind, snapping Kidman to the canvas. Finlay covers, 1…2…Kidman kicks out. Kidman ducks a short-arm clothesline and hits Finlay with a dropkick. Kidman hits Finlay with an enzugiri and makes the tag to Test!

Test punches away at Finlay in the corner, then sends him off the ropes. Test levels Finlay with a clothesline. Cover, 1…2…Regal sneaks in to drag Test off Finlay and gets a shot to the face for his troubles. Finlay goes for a cheap shoot clothesline, but Test counters with a block and a Russian legsweep. Another cover, 1…2…another break-up from Regal. Test sets Finlay up for a Pumphandle Slam, but Finlay slides behind him and shoves him off the ropes. Test comes roaring back with the Big Boot! Regal immediately drags Test to the outside and he and Test go at it. Kidman comes off the top rope with a plancha, but misses Regal and takes out Test! Kidman gets back to his feet and chases after Regal, but Regal grabs Torrie Wilson, and that stops Kidman in his tracks. Finlay nails Kidman from behind and slides him back into the ring, then tags in Regal. Regal traps both of Kidman’s arms and hits him with a suplex. Test gets back to his feet, but he walks off and to the back instead of getting back into the ring! Regal locks Kidman in the Regal Stretch, and despite Kidman not being the legal man the referee accepts his submission.

Winners: William Regal and Fit Finlay when Regal made Kidman submit in 7:13


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Triple H
and Sean O’Haire (along with Shawn Michaels) make their entrance, as do the WCW World Tag Team Champions, The Giant and Diamond Dallas Page. But before the match begins, Shane McMahon makes his way out to the stage.

Shane McMahon: “Let’s make this official right now! If Diamond Dallas Page or The Giant pin Triple H or make Triple H submit in this match, then next week, DDP or Giant will take on Triple H in a match for the WCW World Championship!

Triple H fumes in anger after hearing that stipulation become official. DDP and Giant attack as well, kicking off the main event!

WCW World Tag Team Championship
Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant © (w/Stacy Keibler) vs. Sean O’Haire and Triple H (w/Shawn Michaels)


After the initial brawl The Giant ends up along with HHH in the ring. The Giant hits HHH with huge blows, including a slap to the chest that’s heard all across the arena. Giant then tosses HHH out of the corner, sending him halfway across the ring! HHH fires a couple of kicks and begins to unload on Giant, but Giant shrugs off HHH’s attack and sends him flying again with a huge headbutt. HHH again manages to get some more shots in, but Giant counters an Irish whip into the corner and HHH goes flying over the top rope Harley Race-style instead! The Giant goes out after HHH, but Sean O’Haire attacks him with a chop block. O’Haire fires away at Giant, but Giant shoves him into the barricade. HHH slides back into the ring and hits the ropes, but Giant slides in and just levels HHH with a clothesline. The Giant backs up, looking to land a legdrop, but DDP gets a blind tag, which irks the Giant.

DDP and Giant argue for a few moments before DDP hits an encroaching HHH with a punch that knocks him back down. Inverted atomic drop sends HHH staggering, but DDP misses a clothesline and HHH comes flying off the ropes with a knee to the face, then tags in O’Haire. Sean O’Haire punches away at DDP before hitting a gutwrench slam. Cover, 1…2…DDP kicks out. O’Haire sends DDP off the ropes but DDP ducks the clothesline and hits a jumping clothesline of his own. DDP hits the ropes again, but this time he runs into an O’Haire roundhouse kick! Cover, 1…2…DDP kicks out one more time. O’Haire sends DDP off the ropes and hits him with a shoulder to the midsection, then knocks him down with a knee lift. O’Haire then tags HHH back in. HHH drops a knee on DDP’s knee, then locks in an inverted Indian Deathlock!

DDP struggles, but eventually he’s able to reverse the Indian Deathlock to put pressure on HHH! Both men free their legs from one another and DDP sends HHH off the ropes…but the backdrop attempt is countered as HHH hits a facebuster. HHH kicks DDP and sets him up for the Pedigree, but DDP trips HHH and catapults him into the corner, with HHH goes high enough to hit the ringpost! Discus clothesline knocks HHH down, and both men lie in the ring. DDP crawls over to Giant as HHH makes the tag to O’Haire. O’Haire grabs DDP, but he misses a clothesline, and DDP makes the tag to the Giant! O’Haire fires away at Giant but it doesn’t do him any good, and the Giant pounds away on him. Big boot has O’Haire seeing stars, and the Giant grabs him by the throat! Chokeslam! Instead of covering O’Haire, Giant throws him at HHH. HHH seems reluctant, but O’Haire tags him in and the Giant grabs HHH and brings him in the hard way! HHH has nowhere to go as Giant sets him up for the Chokeslam, but HHH low bridges the Giant. HHH sets Giant up for the Pedigree, but DDP comes from behind and nails HHH with the Diamond Cutter! DDP covers HHH, 1…2…Giant picks up DDP from the pin! DDP and Giant argue as both want the fall on HHH…as The Outsiders hit the ring with bats and take them out, causing the disqualification!

Winners: Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant by DQ when the Outsiders interfered in 13:32 (Retains)

Nash
and Hall beat the hell out of DDP and Giant with the baseball bats…until Booker T comes down! Booker knocks down Hall and gets Nash with a kick, and even knocks Shawn Michaels off the apron. Eric Bischoff runs down and hops up to the apron to distract Booker, allowing Sean O’Haire to hit Booker with a chair from behind. O’Haire picks up Booker and slams him down with the Prophecy. O’Haire looks to stand tall…but here comes Kurt Angle! O’Haire wants a piece of him! O’Haire misses with the Ridgehand and Angle hits a German suplex! Another another one! Angle sets O’Haire up for an Angle Slam but Triple H nails Angle right in the face with the WCW World Title belt. Big Bossman has come down as well and aids HHH in beating down Angle, DDP, Giant, and Booker with his nightstick. HHH, Bossman, HBK, The Outsiders and O’Haire all stand tall…but then everything changes!

It’s “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, decked out in the red-and-yellow! The NWO stand united in the ring and challenge Hogan to get in the ring, and Hogan, with no fear, does so. DDP, Giant, Booker, and Angle have gotten to their feet and all stand behind the NWO as Hogan stands in front of them and HULKS UP, ripping the shirt off! DDP turns Hall around and drops him with the Diamond Cutter! Giant sends Nash over the top rope! Angle does the same to O’Haire! Booker sends Bossman out with a spin kick! Hogan grabs HHH and hits him with a huge punch! And another one! Hogan sends HHH off the ropes and hits the big boot…but before he can finish with the Legdrop HHH gets pulled out by Shawn Michaels. Eric Bischoff is seen visible cursing on the ramp as Hogan poses and “Voodoo Child” blasts through the arena!

But when Hogan stops posing, he realizes something. DDP, Giant, Angle, Booker, all of them stare directly at him…and none of them look particularly happy to see him!

ECW RISE
September 5, 2002
Cox Pavilion
Paradise, NV

Little Guido:
“Tonight one of our guys becomes a made man! You see Sabu, your reign as ECW World Television Champion won’t make it a week. Tonight, the young guy gets his wings, and becomes a champion. And boy, you better be sure the F.B.I. well get their taste! Sabu, you better be ready, because when you wrestle The Bull, you might just get the horns! Capice?!”



Joey Styles: “Welcome to ECW RISE. We’re just days from the fall out from Cyberslam, and as a result we have two ECW Title matches tonight, Tazz!

Tazz: TV Title on the line, the new champion Sabu takes on Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli. And, for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, Rob Van Dam defends against Tajiri! What a night, Joey!”

Joey Styles:
“Let’s kick things off, here comes Sabu!”

ECW World Television Championship
Sabu © (w/Bill Alfonso) vs. Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli (w/Little Guido and Big Sal E. Graziano)


Stamboli confers with his FBI teammates before entering the ring, allowing Sabu to dive over the top rope and take all three members of the FBI out! Sabu throws a chair in Sal E’s face, and Sal crashes into the guardrail, knocking it down! Sabu rolls Stamboli into the ring, but Guido holds Sabu’s leg down to prevent the slingshot legdrop, and Stamboli is able to suplex Sabu into the ring the hard way. Cover, 1…Sabu kicks out immediately. Stamboli punches away at Sabu, before sending him off the ropes and hitting him with a big back bodydrop. Stamboli locks in an armbar, but Sabu gets back to his feet. Bill Alfonso slides Sabu a chair, and Sabu springboards off the middle rope and hits Stamboli with a leg lariat, using the chair on his foot! Sabu sets up chair in the middle of the ring as Stamboli retreats to the corner, and Sabu hits “Air Sabu!” Sabu sets up the chair again. He goes for the Triple Jump Moonsault, but Big Daddy Vincenzo is out here and trips Sabu!

Vincenzo slides Sabu under the ring and pounds away on him, before hitting him with a 550 pound splash! Little Guido has a table set up as Vincenzo drags Sabu onto the table. Stamboli heads to the top rope, but Sabu pulls Vincenzo onto the table, and Stamboli comes off the top with a legdrop through Vincenzo, through the table onto the floor!

Joey Styles:
“Oh my God!”

Bill Alfonso slides a table into the ring as Sabu decks Guido. Sabu drags Stamboli back into the ring and puts him face down on the table. Sabu heads to the top rope, chair in hand, and smashes Stamboli through with an Arabian Skullcrusher! Cover, 1…2…3!

Winner: Sabu via pinfall in 7:44 (Retains)

Tony Mamaluke
and Tracy Smothers run down, but Sabu swings the chair to keep them at bay. Little Guido decides to hold the F.B.I. back, which enrages Big Daddy Vincenzo. BDV wonders why the F.B.I. is backing away from one man, but Guido just says to trust him. Sabu stands tall, pointing to the sky with the ECW TV Title on his shoulder.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


John Kronus vs. Perry Saturn


Kronus surprises Saturn with a flying heel kick as soon as Saturn enters the ring. Kronus stomps away on Saturn before punching away at him. Kronus whips Saturn into the corner, does a cartwheel then a handspring backflip, then hits him with a back elbow. Another flying leg lariat by Kronus. Cover from Kronus, 1…2…Saturn kicks out. Kronus tries to whip Saturn into the corner again, but Saturn counters and sends Kronus into the corner. Kronus staggers out, and Saturn hits a flapjack. Saturn lifts Kronus into a powerbomb position, but instead rams Kronus into the corner stomach-first. Kronus looks up as he tries to figure out how to get down, and Saturn hits him with a kick right to the head. Kronus falls to the canvas and Saturn covers him, 1…2…Kronus kicks out.

Kronus tries to fight back with kicks, but Saturn takes him down with a leg trip. Saturn picks Kronus up just to dump him on his head with a Sambo suplex! Saturn goes for the Rings of Saturn, but Kronus fights that off and gets kicks to the knee. Saturn tries to take Kronus down with a clothesline, but Kronus hits a uranage! Kronus doesn’t go for the cover and instead heads for the top rope. 450 Splash misses! Saturn heads to the top rope and hits a perfect elbow drop! Cover, 1…2…Saturn decides to release, and instead locks in the Rings of Saturn. Kronus has no choice to give up.

Winner: Perry Saturn in 5:39 via submission

Saturn
refuses to release the hold, pulling back on both Kronus’s shoulders as hard as he can. Officials finally convince Saturn to break the hold, but Kronus is still left in considerable pain as Saturn walks down the aisle. In a surprising moment, Saturn meets a familiar face near the entrance, as Terri Runnels meets him and looks happy about the win over Kronus.

Joey Styles: “What the hell is that she-devil doing here?”

Tazz:
“I don’t know Joey, but we just saw I think the very end of the Eliminators.”

Joey Styles: John Kronus gave it his all, but Saturn dominated him tonight. Well coming up after the commercial break, the ECW World Championship is on the line, it’s Tajiri getting his title shot against the champion, Rob Van Dam. But first, let’s look at this post Cyberslam interaction. This took place right after the Rob Van Dam-Eddie Guerrero championship match where Rob Van Dam retained the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.”

***

Eddie Guerrero:
“Hey, Foley. I know what happened out there but come on this whole “fans pick the stipulation” thing, it’s completely ridiculous! I want a match on RISE, a rematch. None of this crazy stuff. Just 1-2-3 for the title!”

Mick Foley: Eddie I have to look at it, but there are other guys, other contenders who Rob Van Dam has pledged to defend the title against. You had your opportunity out there in the match you brought to ECW! So right now I have to inform you that your request for a rematch this Thursday on RISE is denied.”

Eddie Guerrero: “Yeah. Well aren’t you Mr. Big Shot? I’m going to get my rematch one way or another, esse! What, are you going to make me beat Rey Mysterio again? Is that the best you’ve got?”

Mick Foley: “Look Eddie, right now, you’re not the guy…”

Guerrero throws a chair into a wall in frustration as he walks away from Mick Foley


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


ECW World Championship
Rob Van Dam © (w/Bill Alfonso) vs. Tajiri (w/Mikey Whipwreck)


RVD stands face-to-face with Tajiri and taunts in his face. Mikey Whipwreck gets up on the apron and RVD chases him off, then turns around before Tajiri can attack. RVD throws a kick out to create space, and Tajiri rolls to the wide and kips up. They lock-up and RVD sends Tajiri off the ropes. RVD leapfrogs over Tajiri, then splits as Tajiri leaps over him. RVD then hip tosses Tajiri to a huge ovation! They lock-up again and Tajiri gets a side headlock. Tajiri gets an armdrag but misses an elbow drop. RVD misses a somersault legdrop. Tajiri dodges a kick, then RVD dodges a kick, then they block each other’s kick with their own kick before standing off! RVD taunts in Tajiri’s face again, and Tajiri levels RVD with a kick to the face! Tajiri leaps onto the apron preparing for the Asai Moonsault, but RVD roundhouse kicks Tajiri’s feet, causing him to fall onto the apron. RVD hops back into the ring, just to springboard over the top rope and hit Tajiri with a legdrop on the apron!

Tajiri rolls back into the ring as RVD takes his time grabbing a steel chair. Tajiri springboard handstands off the ropes, bashing the chair off RVD’s head! Tajiri then leaps to the outside and hits the springboard Asai Moonsault! Tajiri rolls RVD back into the ring and sends him into the corner, but RVD gets a foot up when Tajiri runs in. Tajiri staggers back, and RVD hits a springboard off the corner, hitting Tajiri with a flying karate kick! Cover, 1…2…Tajiri kicks out. RVD leaps up to the top rope facing the crowd, but Mikey Whipwreck shakes the top rope, crotching RVD. Tajiri puts RVD in the tree-of-woe…and places a chair on his face. Tajiri runs around the ring and basement dropkicks the chair into RVD’s face! Cover, 1…2…RVD just kicks out! RVD staggers around and Tajiri gets a waistlock into a bridging German suplex! 1…2…RVD kicks out again.

RVD sends Tajiri into the corner, then grabs the chair. RVD rolls, drops the chair in the middle of the ring, and monkey flips Tajiri onto the chair! RVD hits the ropes, Rolling Thunder! 1…2…Mikey Whipwreck slides Tajiri under the bottom rope to break the pin! Bill Alfonso comes over to argue with Whipwreck, only to get hit with the Green Mist by Tajiri! At the same time RVD comes flying over the top rope with a somersault plancha that takes out Whipwreck but not Tajiri! RVD checks on Alfonso but Tajiri nails him from behind and rolls RVD back into the ring. Tajiri heads to the top rope. Double Foot Stomp misses as RVD moves out of the way. Tajiri limps around the ring as RVD throws the chair at him and hits the Van Daminator! RVD leaps up to the top rope, Five Star Frog Splash! 1…2…3!

Winner: Rob Van Dam via pinfall in 12:38 (Retains)

RVD
grabs the ECW World Title and checks on Bill Alfonso, who is sitting on the apron. RVD doesn’t really celebrate…but even if he wanted he doesn’t get the chance as the lights go out!

Joey Styles:
“Did we lose power? I thought we were done with any problems paying bills.”

Tazz: “I think something’s happening, Joey.”

Joey Styles:
“Oh my God, that’s Raven!

The lights go back on, Raven stands face-to-face with Rob Van Dam and does his classic T-pose. RVD realizes that Malice, Crush, and Wrath all stand around him. Tajiri blasts RVD and locks him in the ropes with the Tarantula! Crush, Malice, and Wrath then all pound away on RVD! Raven sits in the corner, watching RVD get decimated. Here comes Sabu! Sabu runs down to try to save RVD, but the numbers game proves to be too much as he’s quickly overwhelmed by these three monsters. Malice sets up a table, leading to Wrath and Crush double-chokeslamming Sabu through it!

Raven
poses again with Crush, Wrath, Malice, Tajiri, and Mikey Whipwreck standing tall. Eddie Guerrero appears on the stage, looking like he may come down, but he just smiles and walks to the back. Raven looks at the ECW World Heavyweight Championship before tossing it on the prone body of RVD.


Tazz: Raven is back, Joey.

Joey Styles:
“We’ve gotta go, but it looks like Raven has set his sights on the ECW World Heavyweight Championship!

Scott Hudson: “Hey, that’s Leia Meow!”

Mike Tenay: “
Before they aligned themselves with Taka Michinoku, Hayashi and Yang were known as the Jung Dragons. And look, they’ve been announced as such as well!”

WCW Monday Night Nitro
September 9, 2002
HSBC Arena
Buffalo, NY

Big Bossman:
Hulk Hogan, tonight is a night I’ve been waiting a long time for! Eric Bischoff and Triple H made sure to pay me for my services. Now by services, that don’t mean pinning your shoulders to the mat one-two-three. It means kicking your teeth in, breaking every bone in your body, then putting you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life! And nobody over the years has kicked your ass more than me! Someone’s gotta enforce the law laid out by the New World Order, and that someone is me. But this match tonight, it’s a little personal for me too. Six years ago on the first ever Monday Nitro, good ol’ Big Bubba Rogers stared down Hulkamania. That night, you came out on top and you walked away. That’s a wrong that I’ve been looking to right for a long time! Bischoff is your judge, Triple H is your jury, and I’m your executioner! I’ve been paid to do a job, and that’s to show you, Hogan, what hard times is all about!”



We see Hulk Hogan enter the building with Jimmy Hart!

Hulk Hogan: “I know I got some guys in the back to talk to. I need to start making some things right tonight.”

Jimmy Hart: “I’m with you Hulk!

***

Mike Tenay:
“Welcome to Monday Night Nitro! Mike Tenay alongside Don West. Don, tonight is a huge night as we get a rematch of the first ever main event of Monday Night, Hulk Hogan takes on the New World Order’s prison guard, The Big Bossman!”

Don West: Mike, Just listening to The Bossman at the top of the show gave me chills. You can tell he’s been waiting for this for a long time!”

Mike Tenay:
“It’ should be an explosive show all around, and we’re kicking things off with a match for the WCW World Tag Team Championship!

WCW World Tag Team Championship
Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant © (w/Stacy Keibler) vs. William Regal and Fit Finlay


Finlay surprisingly starts the match when he attacks the Giant. Giant brushes off Finlay’s blows and bashes him with a hard shot to the head. Giant hits Regal with a forearm that sends him on the outside, then grabs Finlay by the throat…only Finlay rakes Giant’s eyes to escape. Finlay comes off the ropes and clotheslines Giant, but Giant stays on his feet. Finlay hits a second clothesline, but again Giant stays on his feet and this time he roars! Finlay goes for a third clothesline, but Giant moves out of the way and DDP ends up leveling Finlay with a clothesline of his own! DDP heads back to the apron to officially make the tag, then goes to work on Finlay. DDP nails Finlay with a couple of right hands, then knocks him down with a disco clothesline. DDP follows up with a knee to the midsection and a neckbreaker. DDP tags the Giant back in. DDP whips Finlay into the Giant, who knocks Finlay back to the canvas with a big boot. Giant chokes Regal, then comes off the ropes. Regal hits Giant with a knee as he comes off the ropes. Giant swings at Regal, but misses, as Finlay gets a chop block. Finlay tags in Regal and they double chop block Giant, finally getting the monster off his feet.

Regal and Finlay stomp on Giant’s knee before referee Charles Robinson holds Regal back. Finlay drags Giant to the post and smashes his leg against the post! DDP and Regal jaw at one another and DDP tries to get into the ring…allowing Finlay to smash Giant’s leg with a chair against the post! Regal tries to lock Giant in the Regal Stretch…but Giant is too big and he powers out. Regal goes back to kicking the legs of the Giant, and another chopblock puts him back down to one knee. Regal tags Finlay back in. Finlay kicks Giant’s knee as Regal hits his arm trap neckbreaker! Finlay covers Giant, 1…2…Giant gets his shoulder up. Giant gets back to his feet as Finlay stands on the second turnbuckle. Finlay comes off the top but Giant swats him out of the air.

Here Comes the Money”
plays as WCW Owner Shane McMahon makes his way out to the ring and grabs a microphone.

Shane McMahon: “What’s up Buffalo?”

“You know I’m gonna paraphrase a quote from my father about a year ago. I’m sick of all this New World Order crap, this NWO crap. You know one think I can’t help but question my sister about is why she had to bring Triple H in at Starrcade last year. Now I’m not blameless, I thought Triple H would have been great for the new WCW. But six months later he’s running around with Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and we’re doing the same damn thing that brought the original WCW to the ground in the first place. And really, I’m not here for it. Now I’m not going to make some stipulation where either ‘WCW or the NWO will die’. Because I know that works. Kill the NWO Green and black, then suddenly NWO 2000 shows up. Oh no, down they go, but here comes NWO Silver! No, no, this is gonna be a long fight, and it’s time to take it seriously. WCW is to show the world, the fans, investors, anyone with a stake in this company that the NWO is yesterday’s news. And how are we going to do that? Well you see in the 90s, everyone stopped giving a damn about WCW because the NWO kicked its ass night and night out. Pay-Per-View after Pay-Per-View. Well it's revenge time. From this night forward, WCW is going to kick the New World Order’s ass night-in and night-out. Now I’ve picked a start date for the extermination of the NWO and that’s September 29th, 2002 in Oklahoma City. At Fall Brawl. Two rings will be available. They will be surrounded by a massive steel cage. At Fall Brawl, WCW will once again take on the New World Order in War Games! It will be a five-on-five war that will strike the first crippling blow to the NWO!”

Eric Bischoff makes his way out onto the stage, microphone in hand.

Eric Bischoff: “Boy, Shane McMahon, you’ve really outdone yourself this time! You just showed me how little you know about WCW’s history. WCW and the New World Order went to war twice, and both those times the NWO stood tall. Now you’ve put everything in one basket. You know what happens when the Green and Black win? Good bye title shots against the WCW World Champion Triple H. Maybe the investors, the TV networks, maybe they start asking, ‘hey, what isn’t Eric in charge?’ That’s the game you want to play Shane? We’re in!”

Shane McMahon: “You sound confident for now, but let me introduce you to Team WCW! First off, the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Two men who have won the big gold a few times themselves and are dying to rip into Triple H. I’m talking about Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant!

Eric Bischoff: “Yeah, what else you got?”

Shane McMahon: “Oh I got more where that came from. How about the man I personally brought to lead the InVasion of the WWF! The five-time, five-time, five-time WCW World Champion. I’m talking about Booker T, sucka!”

Eric Bischoff: “Hey, respect where respect is due, we’ve beaten these guys before!”

Shane McMahon: “Okay, okay. But here’s someone I know you and Triple H are afraid of. Yeah, you guys stole the WCW World Championship from him at Slamboree. And he’s torn everyone apart since looking to get it back. On Team WCW is my hero, Kurt Angle!

Eric Bischoff: “We got Angle once, we’ll get him again!”

Shane McMahon: “And the last guy? See this is one you’ve never beaten. There’s no NWO without this last guy. And after the betrayal that took place the night after Slamboree, he realizes he needs to destroy what he once brought to the top of the wrestling industry. My last guy, the biggest star in all of professional wrestling, is Hulk Hogan!

Eric Bischoff looks frustrated hearing Hogan’s name, but does his best to keep his cool.

Shane McMahon: “I got one question for you Eric Bischoff. Whatchu gonna do when Shane-O-Mac runs wild and destroys the NWO, brother?”

Eric Bischoff: “We’ll just see what’s left of Hulk Hogan when the Bossman is done with him!”

Mike Tenay: “You heard it here everyone. The return of War Games in just three weeks at Fall Brawl!

Don West:
“Unbelievable, Mike! Shane McMahon has shown his hand. Hogan, Angle, DDP, Giant and Booker T? That’s a formidable team if I ever heard one!”

***

Hulk Hogan
and Jimmy Hart are walking through the locker room…

Hulk Hogan: “Just letting you know Jimmy, this might get ugly man. He might just attack so be careful in there.”

Jimmy Hart: “You want me to go in first, Hulk?”

Hulk Hogan: “No. I have to do this. You heard the announcement from Shane. If these guys don’t trust me we don’t have a chance out there.”

The camera pans over to a door…with Kurt Angle’s name on it. Hogan walks in. Kurt Angle is in the locker room, and the intensity in his eyes hardens instantly as he sees Hogan walk in. Angle immediately steps up to Hogan.

Kurt Angle: “You’ve got some nerve to walk in here.”

Hulk Hogan: “Look, brother. I’m not in here to fight. I know I screwed you over back at Slamboree. If I could undo that night, man, I would. But right now, I’m in here to call for a truce. We have to work together to beat the NWO. It all starts at War Games, brother. After that, if we have to do the dance, we’ll do the dance.”

Kurt Angle: “Maybe for you it starts at War Games. But I’ve been fighting this fight since Slamboree when you, Nash and Hall stuck your noses where it didn’t belong. And hell, I’ve pretty much been fighting Triple H since the moment I became a professional wrestler. We’re on the same team right now, and that’s stopping me from crippling you like I did to that other WCW fossil Ric Flair. But you get my way again, or if this is all a ruse of some kind, Hulkamania never walks again. You got that. Brother?”

After an intense staredown, Jimmy Hart tells Hogan to leave as they have others they have to meet and mend fences with.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


A replay of last week’s match between the teams of Billy Kidman and Test and William Regal and Finlay is shown, with Test walking out on Kidman.

Billy Kidman (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. Test

Kidman gets some punches in and Test shoves him away. Kidman runs at Test and again gets some shots in, but Test again pushes him off. Kidman hits the ropes and goes for a flying headscissors, but Test turns it into a thunderous sidewalk slam! Test poses for Torrie, and Torrie has a disgusted reaction. Test bats away a Kidman dropkick. Test goes for the big boot, but Kidman jumps out of the way and Test gets caught in the ropes. Kidman hits a springboard bulldog and quickly covers Test, 1….2…Test kicks out. Kidman runs at Test, but Test catches him with a gutwrench powerbomb! Test slowly makes his way to the top rope, blows a kiss to Torrie, then leaps off with a flying elbow drop that smashes Kidman! Test cockily covers Kidman, 1…2…but Kidman kicks out to Test’s shock! Test sets up Kidman for the Pumphandle Slam, but Kidman slides behind Test and dropkicks him in the back of the head. Kick from Kidman is blocked, but Kidman hits an enzugiri! Kidman quickly jumps up to the top rope and hits the Shooting Star Press! 1…2…3!

Winner: Kidman via pinfall in 3:13

Kidman
celebrates with Torrie up the ramp as Test is infuriated that he just lost to Kidman in such a short manner, and in a match he was dominating no-less!

Eric Bischoff
finds Triple H in the NWO locker room.

Eric Bischoff: “We gotta figure this out. War Games is different than anything you’ve ever been a part of, Hunter. And everything is on the line. You know why the NWO kept going on in the 90s? A big reason was because we won both War Games matches. Apparently we’re signing the contract next week so we need out five locked in.

Triple H: “I get it. Well let’s go through it. Me, Sean O’Haire, Kevin and Scott are obvious choices. Ray?”

Eric Bischoff: “Honestly, either Bossman is gonna destroy Hogan tonight or he’s not gonna be around anymore. There’s no in-between. Either way, his job is tonight, not at Fall Brawl.”

Triple H: “I mean we can always put Pac in there. There’s no many more people I trust than him.”

Eric Bischoff: “Eh, that might get Total Impact involved though and we really don’t need that. Once take down WCW at Fall Brawl others will rise, and Total Impact will be at the top of that list. So we need X-Factor to be focused there.”

Triple H: “Maybe one of the Japanese guys?”

Eric Bischoff: “I don’t think that’ll work either. Hunter, this might sound like a longshot, but just hear me out.”

Triple H: “Hell, whatever we gotta do to win.”

Eric Bischoff: “What about Shawn?”

Triple H: “Come on man, are you not paying attention or something. I already said Sean O’Haire.”

Eric Bischoff: “No, no. Hunter, what about Shawn?”

Triple H looks confused for a moment, until he realizes who Eric Bischoff is talking about.

Triple H: Michaels?

Eric Bischoff: “Well, yeah. Look, Hunter, with all due respect, if you’re the best wrestler in the world, and I believe you are. Shawn Michaels is 1B. If there was ever a time he had one more in him, we need him for this.”

Triple H:
“He’s also one shot to the back away from being crippled.”

Eric Bischoff: “He’s had five years to recover. Five years to get his back going. I’m telling you he might have one more in him.”

Triple H: “Alright, I’ll talk to him.”

Eric Bischoff: “We need this one, Hunter.”

***

Hulk Hogan
and Jimmy Hart walk into Booker T’s locker room.

Hulk Hogan: “Hey, Booker. I just wanted to come in here and clean out any issues you might have with me.”

Booker T: Hulk, I’m gonna give it to you straight dawg. You and I, yeah we never really had a direct problem or anything. But the stuff you pulled with the NWO, that made me and my brother’s life hell. Yeah I never got the chance to fight against the top ranks of the NWO as I was just moving up the ladder myself, and you lucky I didn’t get that chance because the NWO wouldn’t have lasted let me tell you that, sucka. But right now, I’ve got no problem with you Hogan. We gonna go into War Games. And we gonna win. But after that, you get in my way, you gonna feel the Heat. And by the way that goes for you too Jimmy Hart. I don’t want to see no Dungeon of Doom or whatever that deal was again either. Now you both dig that.”

Triple H
finds Shawn Michaels backstage.

Triple H: Shawn, Shawn!”

Shawn Michaels: Hunter! What’s going on, what’s up?”

Triple H: “Well I’m sure you were listening earlier, Shane McMahon making the War Games, NWO against WCW.”

Shawn Michaels: “Yeah man it’s gonna be great. You know I’ll be right at ringside, or cageside or whatever for it like always. NWO is gonna finish the job!”

Triple H: “Yeah, yeah about that. You know Eric and I were talkin’ and we had this idea.”

Shawn Michaels: “Okay, well, what is it?”

Triple H: “Well it’s five-on-five and we thought that maybe, with this being such a big match and all, that maybe Shawn Michaels might be interested in a little return to the ring.”

Shawn Michaels spits out water he was drinking and begins to laugh.

Shawn Michaels: “HAHAHA, I appreciate that Hunter, but c’mon, who you really thinking for the team? You, Kevin, Scott…”

Triple H: “No, no listen, we’re serious, Shawn.”

Shawn Michaels: “Well, Hunter, I mean look. I appreciate that you’ve let me hang around and play cheerleader and help you be the wrestler I always knew you were. It’s been a fun ride and I’m planning to stay on this ride as long as it’s available. But you know I can’t get in there again. One shot to the back, you know.”

Triple H: “You are sure, it’s been a long time. You might be healthier than you realize.”

Shawn Michaels: Hunter, all this NWO stuff means the world to me. Hanging out with you and Kevin and Scott and Pac and all. It’s been great. But what I have at home is great too. I finally have it going right and I can’t suddenly end up in a wheelchair, I just can’t. I’m sorry man.”

Triple H: “Alright, alright it’s fine, Shawn.”

Shawn Michaels: “We’ll get somebody else. We got War Games in the bag, NWO Style!

Triple H and Shawn Michaels hug, although Triple H looks a bit disappointed that Shawn rejected his request.

***

World Women’s Champion Victoria and Daffney come down to the ring.


Victoria: “Well, it’s only been two months and I’ve already cleaned out the Women’s Division. I’ve annihilated everyone in my path and even taken a prize or two. Sure, I have the World Women’s Championship. But that’s not enough, not for me. You see what I have here? This is the mask of La Felina after I left that pretty little kitty cat brutally beaten. Now Daffney, Daffney here seems to think I go a little too far. But Daffney, you know what I’m capable of, and you know they’ve seen nothing yet!”

Daffney stands in the corner, scared. She begins to quiver just a little bit…

Victoria: “As much as I enjoy my trophy collection so far, I’ve become bloodthirsty for more. And right now, the only person in the ring with me right now…is Daffney. My precious, precious Daffney. So unless anyone as any objections, I’m going to walk right over here and destroy my sweet Daffney to satisfy my primal rage!”

Victoria stalks Daffney, who begins to cry and scream in the corner. Victoria grabs her by the hair…when Molly Marvel’s theme plays! Molly runs down to the ring and her and Victoria trade blows! Molly wins the exchange and sends Victoria out of the ring! Molly holds up the Women’s Title…when Daffney attacks her from behind and grabs the belt herself!

Diamond Dallas Page: “You can find us right here!”

Hulk Hogan: “Listen brother, I know you, The Giant, and I, we’ve had our differences in the past. But I’m here to let bygones be bygones and to clean the slate between us.”

Diamond Dallas Page: “Heh, you hear that G. Hogan wants to clear the slate. Let’s make this clear Hogan. Me and the big man here. We don’t trust ya and we probably never will. That’s a reputation you earned for everything you’ve done to us over the past six years. Now right, because we’re on the same team at War Games, we got your back. But that’s for now. You screw with us, hell, if I even remotely see anything resembling a NWO shirt on you again, I’m gonna drop you with the Diamond Cutter and I promise you’ll never see it coming. And then when I’m done with you, I’m gonna feed you to the big man himself. How’s that for cleaning the slate, bro?”

Hulk Hogan: “I understand you. I’m tellin’ you, my NWO days are over. And I’m gonna prove it in a few moments when I rip apart the Big Bossman!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Kevin Nash
and Scott Hall catch up to Triple H as they all plan to watch the main event in the locker room.

Kevin Nash: Hunter, we’ve got a bone to pick with you.”

Triple H: “Yeah and what’s that?”

Kevin Nash: “Hey, don’t be getting all aggressive on me here. You’re the one that opened your mouth last week.”

Scott Hall: “Yeah bro, I think it was something like, ‘hey Eric, it’s time to show Kevin and Scott that it’s time to start taking some of these things seriously around here.’

Triple H: “Listen guys…”

Kevin Nash: “No you listen to us. You need think about this Triple H. We’re the only friends you have in this business. Look we decided you should be the man, the leader. That’s the love and respect we have for you. You don’t think I want that gold belt you have on your shoulder for myself? But we’re thinking big picture man. So the next time you’re talking to O’Haire or Bischoff, don’t sell us out. We gotta be in this together if we’re gonna win War Games in three weeks. But remember who has your back. Without us, everyone gets a shot at you.”

Triple H: “You guys are right. You guys are right and I’m sorry.”

Kevin Nash: “It’s all good man, just remember, we’re a team. We’re gonna watch the match a little more closely tonight.”

The Outsiders leave the locker room, and Triple H looks angered that he was just forced to apologize to Nash and Hall.

ECW RISE
September 12, 2002
HSBC Arena
Buffalo, NY

Rob Van Dam:
Fonzie, look at this guy. Dude, Raven, if you wanted a title shot all you had to do was ask. If you really want a piece of the whole fuckin’ show, I’m not hard to find. I don’t back down from challenges. Now I know we’re gonna get some spooky cryptic poems and riddles and whatever from you, and I’m gonna let you do your thing don’t worry. But don’t think that stuff is gonna get to me. I’m Rob Van Dam. The most athletic, talented and box office champion ECW has ever had. Now what will get to me is your goons ganging up on me. Not only did that piss me off, that pissed Sabu off, and I’m telling you that’s something you really don’t want to do. Tonight, me and Sabu are gonna beat you guys. Let me put this in language you understand. ‘Nevermore will you matter in ECW once Rob Van Dam and Sabu are done with you. Quote Mr. Pay-Per-View, well, as much as you want, as long as you buy the show!’



Joey Styles: “Welcome everyone, it’s Thursday Night, ECW RISE! I’m Joey Styles alongside Tazz. Three big matches tonight partner, including a match for the ECW World Tag Team Championship.”

Tazz: “That’s right Joey, but hey something’s going on…Mike Awesome is coming out here.”

Joey Styles:
“It doesn’t look like anyone is with him either, no Lance Storm, no Chris Candido.”

***

Mike Awesome:
“Hey, back there, shut the fuckin’ music off!”

Joey Styles: “He sure doesn’t sound happy, and who can blame him really.”

Mike Awesome: “For the last four months there’s been a lot of this NWO bullshit and it keeps going and going with X-Factor. Cyberslam comes and this fat ass Albert comes down and costs me the match? Well fuck that! Albert get your ass out here now!”

Albert doesn’t come out, but X-Pac does.

X-Pac: “Hey, you know Hunter promised me after I beat you at Cyberslam that we were done with this ECW thing. But you guys just don’t go away do you. So I’ll tell you what, we’re gonna put an end to Total Impact once and for all, and that starts at Fall Brawl, where Albert is gonna kick your ass!”

Mike Awesome: “Yeah, bring him on! Once I get through with him, you, Justin Credible are next. Then I’m going for the big guns. Hall, Nash, I’m gonna destroy you all! Since you’re here right now, I might as well give you a taste!”

Mike Awesome heads up the ramp as X-Pac runs to the back…only to be attacked by Albert! Albert and Awesome brawl all over the stage and to the back!

Joey Styles: “We’ll keep up with that while we can. We’re going to get our first match started!”

Benjamin sends Guido off the ropes and goes for a back bodydrop, but Guido gets a sunset flip. 1…2…Benjamin kicks out, then levels Guido with a yakuza kick! Benjamin quickly looks to end the match with the T-Bone Suplex, but Guido kicks himself free. Guido quickly hops onto the second rope and hits Benjamin with a missile dropkick. As Guido hotdogs to the crowd, Big Daddy Vincenzo makes his way out to ringside, although he’s not wearing his FBI attire, instead looking a bit like his old Men on a Mission Mabel persona.

Guido stomps away on Benjamin then locks in an armbar, but Benjamin wrestles his way out. Guido gets a kick and goes up to the second rope again, but Benjamin catches him this time and plants him with a powerbomb! Benjamin comes off the ropes and hits Guido with a spinning heel kick. Benjamin sets up Guido again, and this time he plants him with the T-Bone Suplex! 1…2…3!

Winner: Shelton Benjamin via pinfall in 3:44

Big Sal
gets in the ring to check on Guido. When Big Daddy Vincenzo enters the ring, he and Big Sal have a faceoff. Tony Mamaluke and Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli hit the ring and try to calm the two 600 pound monsters down. Vincenzo leaves, audibly yelling that Guido is “pathetic”.

Eddie Guerrero
walks into ECW Commissioner Mick Foley’s office.

Mick Foley: Eddie, I’ve been looking to talk to you!”

Eddie Guerrero: “Hey, Foley. I gotta say I’m a little worried. I heard Rob Van Dam talking about fighting Raven, and it made me feel like I’m not going to get my rematch.”

Mick Foley: “Well, if you were listening to me last week, Eddie, I told you weren’t getting that rematch. But I do have something for you. Fall Brawl. A TV Title shot on the line. You, Rey, and Shelton Benjamin.”

Eddie Guerrero: “So let me understand this. Not only am I fighting Rey again, but I’m not in contention for the ECW World Championship? You know I’m Eddie Guerrero, right?”

Mick Foley:
“I know who you are, Eddie, come on. One day I’m sure you’ll get that shot at the ECW World Championship. But right now, it’s RVD and Raven.”

Eddie Guerrero: “I’ll play your game, Foley. But let me make this clear homes. ECW is a stepping stone for Eddie Guerrero. I’ll make an example out of Shelton Benjamin and Rey on Pay-Per-View, just to show you. But then things better look up after that, or maybe I’ll make myself WCW-exclusive! We’ll see how the jefa likes that!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Mick Foley
is on the phone talking to someone about the conversation he just had with Eddie Guerrero, when suddenly Terri Runnels hits the hang-up button. Foley looks up to see Terri and Perry Saturn.

Terri Runnels: “Sorry to interrupt your call, Mick, but we were just listening to your conversation with Eddie, and I want to know why Perry Saturn isn’t being considered for the #1 Contender match for the TV Title.”

Mick Foley: Terri it’s good to see you again! I’ll be honest with you, I might have overlooked your man here. You see I was a big fan of the Eliminators, and to see Perry Saturn destroy that legacy, well, I felt that one.”

Terri Runnels: “Butttttttt…”

Mick Foley: “But I have to give credit where credit’s due. So here’s what we’re going to do. I do think Eddie Guerrero deserves to be in the match. And we just saw Shelton Benjamin defeat Little Guido, that’ll put him in. So next week, it’s going to be Perry Saturn, against Rey Mysterio Jr.! And the winner of that goes onto Fall Brawl!

Terri Runnels: “Aww, Mick, I knew you’d come to your senses. Have a Nice Day!”

Saturn glares at Mick Foley as Terri tells him to come along.
