Venom
vs. 'War Machine' Vince Graham
Venom makes
his way out first to some crowd heat following his comments earlier in the
week on the direction the BSW is taking. Vince Graham's music then plays,
and the War Machine walks out to a pretty big pop. However, out of nowhere
from behind him appears Viper, who hasn't been seen in the BSW for a month
or so! Graham fights him off, but then finds himself taken out from behind
by ex-BSW member Lil J, Crazy C's old tag team partner! Lil J and Viper
beat down Vince Graham on top of the stage, before Crazy C joins the two
and helps to administer the beat down. Venom walks up the ramp with a very
proud look on his face, before picking up the fallen Vince Graham and dragging
him back down to the ring. The former 6 time BSW champion then picks up
Vince Graham and drops him with a huge sit down powerbomb, before signalling
for the end. Almost as soon as the match has started, it ends as Venom drops
Vince Graham with his inverted square driver, before covering for the three
count!
Winner:
Venom (via inverted square driver)
After
the Match:
All four men carry on beating on Vince Graham, Venom grabbing a chair and
nailing him. All of a sudden however, familiar music plays and out comes
the old BSW stable The Excellents! Hotstuff Hernandez, Kid Dynamite, Bruce
LeRoy and Sid Sexy, now joined by Necro Butcher, all head to the ring to
make the save! Hernandez starts to look Venom in the eye from close range
with an angered look in face, when all of a sudden his face changes to a
smile and all nine men turn and start to beat on Vince Graham! The crowd
boo loudly as Hernandez picks up Graham and drops him with a Hotstuff Drop,
before Venom grabs a microphone and screams "THE WAR... HAS BEGUN!" at the
crowd.
Tag
Team:
Dark Knight / Killian vs. Calib McClain / Hannibal
King
The Fallen (Dark
Knight and Killian) came down to the ring first to big heat from the crowd
followed by the Old School Soldiers (McClain and King) who got a good pop
from the fans. As the OSS slid into the ring, the Fallen jumped them and
gained the upper hand. After the ref got the situation in hand, DK and Killian
isolated McClain on their half of the ring showing good teamwork and tag
team moves. Eventually Calib was able to counter a Killian back body drop
with a pedigree and make the tag to Hannibal. Hannibal hit a couple of clotheslines
before being caught with a low blow by Dark Knight. DK then performed a
series of moves and holds to keep Hannibal on the mat. In a desperation
move, King was able to hit a spinning belly-to-belly suplex and make the
tag. Calib entered the ring but was immediately double teamed by Dark Knight
and Killian. Hannibal appeared preoccupied by his twin valets, Jennifer
and Jessica, as Killian hit Calib with the Killians Tide (reverse DVD) followed
by a Dark Knight sharpshooter. With Hannibal unaware as to what was happening
inside the ring, McClain had no choice but to tap out.
Winners: Dark
Knight / Killian (via sharpshooter)
Hardcore
Rulez:
Necro Butcher vs. 'Style In Action' Frankie
Manns
Both men came
down to the ring with their weapons of choice in hand, for Necro a stop
sign and for Manns a steel chair, along with weapons that had been placed
around ringside. This type of hardcore match was a little foreign to the
old school technician Frankie Manns at first but he tried his best to counter
Butcher's hardcore mentality with his technical wrestling ability. Necro
got the early advantage when he grabbed Manns' steel chair out of his hands
and cracked him on the head with it. Butcher then followed up with a DDT
and a powerslam before Manns was able to reverse the momentum. As Necro
was attempting a white russian legsweep, Manns was able to hiptoss Necro
over the top rope and out of the ring. As the fight spilled to the outside
is where the action really picked up. Manns whipped Butcher into the steps
and then followed it up with a trashcan to Butcher's head. Manns then went
over and grabbed Butcher's trademark stop sign and posed for the crowd for
some good heat. Manns then reared back and cracked Necro in the head with
the stop sign but as Manns turned around and posed some more, Necro no sells
and the crowd pops. Necro then grabs the sign out of Manns' hands and hits
him with The Stop (stop sign to the head). Necro then finishes it off with
the Necro Slam (gorilla press into Michinoku Driver) onto the stop sign
for the 3 count.
Winner: Necro
Butcher (via Necro Slam)
Backstage:
Inside the OSS locker room, Hannibal King is seen apologizing to an obviously
pissed off Calib McClain. The two end up shaking hands and agreeing to watch
the back of Triple S during his upcoming match.
Non-Title
Tag Team:
Bucky Thompson / Jay Hall vs. Akagumi Kimen
(Yajuu-san / Akuma)
The Japanese
team enters first to a big pop, closely followed by the world champion and
Bucky Thompson. Straight away all four men go at it, with Thompson sending
Akuma to the outside before following out with a baseball slide. In the
ring, Jay sends Yajuu-san into the ropes, but the cruiserweight slides under,
before coming back in with a springboard Lou Thesz press! Yajuu-san starts
to pound on Jay as Thompson and Akuma return to their corners. Yajuu-san
sends the world champion into the ropes before following in with a leg lariat,
before tagging in Akuma, who enters the ring with a slingshot leg drop which
gets a close two count. Akuma then Irish whips Jay straight into a powerslam,
before tagging in Yajuu-san who heads up top and nails a flying guillotine
leg drop for another two count. Yajuu-san then picks Jay up on his shoulders
and drops him with a rolling Samoan drop, before tagging in Akuma again,
who comes in and covers for a two count. A small Jay Hall chant starts to
get behind the world champion. Akuma locks on a single leg crab, trapping
Jay in the centre of the ring. The world champion battles, but every time
he gets close to the ropes he is dragged back to the centre of the ring.
The referee asks him if he wants to give up, and he declines, but still
can't escape. Finally he reaches the ropes, breaking the hold, and stands
up straight into a lariat attempt from Akuma. However, Jay ducks, before
nailing a release dragon suplex, taking both men down! Both men start to
crawl to their corners, the crowd getting behind both teams. Eventually
the tags are made as Thompson and Yajuu-san come in, Thompson taking Yajuu-san
down with a pair of lariats before superkicking the living hell out of Akuma!
Jay Hall is finally back to his feet, and he knocks Akuma out of the ring,
before coming flying out with a springboard somersault rana! Yajuu-san then
follows out with a top rope quebrada to the outside, before Bucky follows
out with an elbow suicida through the middle ropes. The MTX team seem to
be on top as Thompson rolls back into the ring, before pulling in Yajuu-san
and hitting a back drop suplex, only to hold on and deliver an atomic drop
straight after! He covers for a two, which is broken up by Akuma. However,
as he tries to grab Thompson for the Eternal Sleep, Jay comes flying in
with his springboard twisting DDT! This allows Thompson to go up top and
nail the Punchline on Akuma, but he's not the legal man, Yajuu-san breaking
the cover before rolling up Thompson tight with a cradle for a two count.
Yajuu-san signals for the end, and locks on a pumphandle on Thompson, ready
for an Osaka Driller. However, Jay comes flying back into the action with
a slingshot wheel kick, knocking Yajuu-san forward into a cradle pin from
Thompson for the 3 count! A shocked Akuma looks on before charging at Thompson
to start a beat down, but he is cut off by Jay who catches him with a brainbuster.
The MTX members start to celebrate when all of a sudden Dark Knight's music
plays, and the challenger to the world title makes his way out, chair in
hand! Jay motions him to bring it on, and The Fallen member enters, only
for Jay to cut him off with a roundhouse kick. The two begin to brawl, but
Akuma pulls Jay off, wanting a piece of the world champion himself. Jay
pushes Akuma away, but as he turns around he is knocked out of his boots
with a chair shot by Dark Knight. DK then waffles Akuma and Yajuu-san, before
clotheslining Thompson over the top to the floor. The Fallen member cracks
Jay with another chair shot, before all of a sudden the lights go out. When
they come back on, Jay is sat in the corner bust wide open, with all the
other participants in the match out cold on the outside. Jay slowly gets
up with a very irate look on his face, and he kicks the turnbuckle before
getting up and making his way backstage, incredibly angry!
Winners:
'Raw Deal' Jay Hall / Bucky Thompson (via cradile
roll-up)
After
the match:
The cameras pick up Dark Knight sat with the dented chair backstage, when
all of a sudden Jay Hall bursts into his locker room with a chain wrapped
around his hand. The world champion leaps on Dark Knight and starts beating
away at him, opening him up as well! Soon enough the MTX and Fallen arrive
and pull their respective stable members out of the fracas, both Jay Hall
and Dark Knight still wanting to go at it.
Hardcore
Title:
Barbed Wire Board / Light Bulb Board / Elimination Match:
'X-Rated'
Hopps (c) vs. Peace Breaker vs.
'Franchise' Cooper Tate
Eight
of the boards are set up before the match, two of each in the corners of
the ring and two of each on the outside. Peace Breaker enters first to huge
heat, followed by Cooper Tate, who gets a mixed crowd reaction following
his recent comments on the others in the federation. Hopps enters last to
a big pop, and straight away Breaker and Tate go after Hopps, taking him
down with a double shoulder block before stomping away at him. Peace Breaker
look at each other in surprise that they are working together, before picking
up Hopps and delivering a double team front suplex across the top rope,
bouncing Hopps to the floor. The two stand in the ring together, again looking
surprised that they are actually working well together, and Peace Breaker
extends his hand to Tate. In a surprise moment, Tate accepts his handshake
to huge crowd heat, but the boos soon become cheers as Tate whips Peace
Breaker straight into one of the barbed wire boards set up in the corner!
Tate then follows in with a charging knee, before pulling Breaker off and
delivering a northern lights suplex for a two count. On the outside Hopps
reaches under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick as Tate whips Peace Breaker
into the ropes. Hopps cracks Breaker across the back with the stick, before
hopping up on the apron. However, he mis-communicates his actions with Tate,
who charges with a clothesline as Hopps pulls the ropes down to flip Breaker
over, causing all three men to tumble to the outside onto another barbed
wire board! Hopps is up first, and he picks up Peace Breaker and rams him
into the ring post, before grabbing a bottle from underneath the ring and
cracking it over Breaker's head, busting him wide open! Tate finally returns
to his feet and goes after Hopps, but the hardcore champion telegraphs it
and takes him out with a lariat, before running him over the top of the
barricade into the crowd, before charging at him and leaping over into the
crowd, wiping him out! Both men are down, and Peace Breaker capitalises,
pulling Hopps to the ringside area and trying to put him into one of the
light bulb boards. However, Hopps counters with a low blow, before going
for a clothesline on Breaker. The crowd look on in awe as somehow Peace
Breaker counters this with a spinebuster, dropping Hopps right onto the
light bulb board! Glass goes everywhere as both men get cut up from the
move. Cooper Tate capitalises on this, making the cover on Hopps, but the
champion gets his shoulder up at the last second. Tate all of a sudden signals
for the Showstopper, going for it early. However, Hopps elbows his way out
of this, before nailing a drop toe hold into the glass! Hopps then makes
his way around to the other side of the ring area, where he grabs another
barbed wire board plus the final of the light bulb boards on the outside!
Hopps sets these up on the ramp before dragging Peace Breaker, who is still
down from executing the spinebuster on Hopps before trying for a German
suplex onto the light bulbs! Peace Breaker counters this with an elbow,
before scooping Hopps up for the Peace Driver. However, Hopps floats over,
before nailing a back drop suplex into the barbed wire board! The crowd
pop loudly for this move, but the cheers are even louder when Hopps holds
on picks Breaker back up to his vertical base for a blue thunder bomb onto
the barbed wire board! Glass shatters everywhere as Hopps holds on for the
pin, eliminating Peace Breaker!
First eliminated:
Peace Breaker by Hopps (via blue thunder bomb)
Hopps stays
down for a few seconds before getting up and limping back to the ring, where
he is met by Cooper Tate who straight away rams him into one of the barbed
wire boards. Hopps drops down, allowing Tate to grabs the board and skateboard
it into his face. Tate covers for a two count, but Hopps kicks out. Tate
then tries for a half nelson suplex, but Hopps scatters to the ropes, breaking
the hold, before coming back with a spear, taking Tate down! Hopps then
grabs one of the barbed wire boards and places it on Tate, before going
up top and nailing the spinning leg drop! Hopps covers but Tate gets out
just before the three count. Hopps shakes his head in disbelief, before
rolling Tate out of the ring. Tate is lying just past the mess of glass,
when all of a sudden Hopps comes out with a tope con hilo, missing the glass
and landing perfectly on Tate! Hopps covers again, but again only gets a
two count. Hopps stands up irate, and goes under the ring for something.
The crowd then pop as Hopps pulls out a pair of tables, setting one up on
the outside. Hopps places a barbed wire board on this, before resting Tate
up against it. Hopps then sprints down the ramp and flies off at Tate with
a huge spear, butting him through the board and the table! Hopps signals
for the end, and rolls Tate into the ring, bringing the table with him.
Hopps sets up the table in the middle of the ring, before setting up one
of the two remaining lightbulb boards on it. Hopps then whips Tate into
the ropes, grabbing him in an exploder suplex position as he comes back.
However, Tate nails a desperation low blow, before nailing a huge yakuza
kick! Tate then sends Hopps into the corner, before sitting him up top.
The crowd cheer as it seems Tate is going to rana Hopps through the table
and the light bulbs! However, as he is about to come off, Hopps nails a
low blow of his own, before standing up high into a top rope powerbomb!
Both men come off, but at the last second Tate manages to hook his legs
around Hopps and flip down into a hurancanrana, sending Hopps into the glass!
Hopps is out of it as he lies in a pile of broken wood and smashed glass,
but he some how kicks out at what must be 2.9! Tate, knowing it is more
or less over, grabs Hopps and bring shim over to on of the barbed wire boards,
before delivering the Showstopper onto it. This time there is no escape,
as Tate wins the hardcore title!
Winner
and new Hardcore Champion:
'Franchise' Cooper Tate (via Showstopper)
Backstage:
The cameras pick up the vice-president, the Rumour Guy, who has a very concerned
look on his face. The VP is handed a microphone and he begins to speak:
RG:
Yet again we see the stupidity of Jay Hall and Dark Knight as they cannot
wait until the pay-per-view for their title match-up. Quite frankly we can't
afford to have these two hitting each other with every object in the whole
stadium each week in the build up to their match, because otherwise there
won't be enough of them left to hold the match, and the fans will not be
impressed! Therefore, to ensure that what is only our second pay-per-view
is not damaged by two idiots who can't see how they are damaging the federation
business wise with their antics, I'm going to enforce some rules from now
until the PPV. Rule number one is for Dark Knight. David, if you interfere
in any of Jay's matches, attack him backstage, lay a finger on him, you'll
lose your title shot at the pay-per-view! As for rule number two, this is
for the Raw Deal himself. If you interfere in any of Dark Knight's matches,
attack him backstage, lay a finger on him, you'll defend that title every
night of the week until you lose it, and then will not be receiving a return
shot whilst I still have power in the BSW! I'm not playing here, break those
rules guys and you won't be headlining the next pay-per-view, pure and simple!
Non-Title:
Daniel 'The Devil' Estacado vs. Triple S
This match started
out to be a great technical match-up between two of the brightest stars
of the BSW. Momentum switched back and forth between the competitors as
each was able to counter the others offense. Estacado started to widen the
gap when he countered a Triple S double arm DDT with a russian neck drop.
As the Devil continued his assault, Calib McClain came running down to the
ring with a sledgehammer in hand. McClain then grabbed the referee by the
feet, drug him out of the ring, and knocked him out cold. Estacado looked
on in fear as McClain climbed into the ring. McClain raised the hammer into
the air but then turned and nailed Triple S in the head sending 3S to the
canvas. McClain and Estacado then began to work over Triple S as Hannibal
King rushed to the ring to save Shane but as he entered the ring he was
Breakdowned (giant powerbomb) out of the ring onto the arena floor by his
own tag team partner. This brought the remainder of the Fallen and the OSS
to ringside. During the ensuing brawl, Krash was able to slide a steel chair
to Triple S, who proceeded to clean house. The OSS stood tall in the ring
until Krash came up behind Triple S and tapped him on the shoulder. Triple
S then swung around and nailed Krash in the head with the chair. 3S stares
at Krash for a moment and then just slide out of the ring and walks off.
Rave goes off the air with the world with a million questions going through
their heads.
Result: No
