Venom
/ Crazy C / Lil J vs. 'X-Rated' Hopps / Bucky
Thompson / Action Jackson
After a week's delay,
Sunday Night Rave got kicked off in style with a fast and furious 6-man
Tag Match. The Legends Alliance got the early advantage on MTX when Crazy
C hit Action Jackson with a hurricanranna. The Legends then isolated Jackson
on their half of the ring and used quick tags to keep the fresh man in.
The tide of the match turned when Action was able to block a Lil J suplex
attempt and counter with a desperation brainbuster. Action tagged in Hopps,
who proceeded to clean house until Venom was able to sneak up behind him
with a low blow. Hopps was able to counter a Venom belly-to-belly suplex
with a t-bone suplex and tag in Bucky. Bucky got a 2.5 on Venom with a german
suplex into a pin before heading to the top rope for the Punchline. Crazy
C distracted the ref as Lil J ran over to the neutral corner and pushed
Bucky off the top rope onto the canvas. Hannibal King ran to the ring and
pulled Action Jackson off the apron as Crazy C and Hopps traded blows. Venom
was then able to pick up Bucky and hit him with the Venom Drop for the 1,
2, 3.
Winner: Venom / Crazy C / Lil J
After
the Match:
The Legends Alliance members pose in the ring to huge heat as Hopps and
his team-mates regroup on the outside following the loss. All of a sudden
however, Triple S leaps through the crowd with chair, and knocks down the
Psychotics before cracking Venom across the skull! The crowd pop as Triple
S then locks the Idolizer on Venom, the US champion tapping the mat as Triple
S refuses to let go! Eventually the MTX members pull Sullivan off, before
leaving to a huge pop.
'Anarchist'
Mike Anderson
vs. Calib McClain
This was a tremendous
match-up between a BSW veteran in Calib McClain and BSW up and comer in
'Anarchist' Mike Anderson. Early in the match it was Anderson who was able
to use his quickness advantage to gain the upperhand. The 'Anarchist' hit
McClain with a double-arm DDT before slapping on a camel clutch. Calib was
able to break the hold and then was able to block an Anderson powerbomb
attempt and follow up with a huge stalling suplex. McClain then hit a pedigree
on the 'Anarchist' for a 2 count. At this point running down to the ring
was Hannibal King, making his second appearance tonight. McClain set Anderson
up for the Breakdown but Anderson was able to slip out and land on his feet
as Hannibal enters the ring and knocks both men down with a double clothesline.
The ref calls for the bell.
Result: Double DQ
After
the Match: Hannibal continued to attack his new rival Calib McClain.
With a crazed look in his eye, Hannibal set Calib up for the King Bomb and
dropped him with it right on his head. The arena goes silent as McClain
could be seriously hurt. Hannibal leaves the ring with a sinister grin on
his face as the medics come out to check on McClain.
Backstage:
The cameras head backstage where Triple S is still on the rampage with his
chair, looking for Venom again. All of a sudden the leader of the Legends
Alliance appears and begins to taunt Triple S from far away down the corridor.
Triple S begins to advance towards him, when all of a sudden The Psychotics
jump him from behind, beating him down against the wall! Jay Hall makes
the save but the damage has already been done as The Psychotics get revenge
for comments Sullivan made about them last week!
Hannibal
King vs. Steve
Hall
BSW returnee Steve Hall enters first to big heat, but the crowd reaction
is nothing compared to the newly-heel Hannibal King, who is booed out of
the arena. Steve Hall straight away attacks, nailing a tope con hilo over
the top at King, before straight away sitting him up on the turnbuckle on
the outside and trying for his frankensteiner to the concrete from the PPV!
However, King reverse, pushing Hall back over his head into the ring, before
following in and knocking him damn near out cold with a stiff lariat! Hall
has a very dazed look in his eyes as Hannibal King sends him into the ropes
and nails a tilt a whirl slam, knocking the wind out of him, before picking
him up and delivering a hanging suplex for a two count. King then picks
him up and applies a standing head scissors, ready for his trademark tiger
driver slam. However, out of nothing Hall hits a low blow, before executing
the Full Stop! The ex-Yajuu-san rolls King up for the pin, but shockingly,
doesn't even get a one count! King kicks out easily before grabbing his
much smaller opponent and nailing the King Bomb, with delay, for the three
count! The crowd boo King's new found attitude, as he beats down Hall further
after the bell. Steve Hall lies hurt in the ring as he becomes the first
victim of King's new run of destruction!
Winner: Hannibal King
Non-Title:
Maurice Dream vs. 'Franchise'
Cooper Tate
Maurice Dream enters first to a mixed reaction on his return, followed by
Cooper Tate, who gets a great reaction but instantly hits the ring and spears
down Dream, laying into him with punches! Dream quickly scatters to the
outside, but Tate follows him straight out, flying through the middle ropes
with a suicide dive before laying into Dream again! Tate then picks him
up and delivers a huge back drop suplex on the outside, before hopping up
on the ring steps and dropping a fist on Dream. Tate then mounts his opponent
again, laying into him with more punches, before rolling him back into the
ring and making a tight cover for an early two count. Tate seems very intense
which rocks Dream a bit, as Tate comes back with kicks to the chest. Dream
manages to catch one of these strong kicks, but Tate then rolls him up tightly
into a minoru special armbar! Dream scuttles to the ropes quickly, breaking
the hold, before coming back with a big lariat. Dream then puts the boot
to Tate a couple of times, before sending him into the corner and charging
with a jumping knee. Dream then sits Tate up top and nails a huge superplex,
but Tate rolls through for a two count, only for Dream to counter again
with a two of his own! The crowd applaud the good exchange, as Dream sends
Tate into the ropes and nails a flapjack, before coming off the ropes and
nailing a leg drop across the back of his head. Dream then goes for a jacknife
hold style pin, but is shocked as Tate somehow counters into a triangle
choke! They eventually end up in the ropes, forcing the break, and Tate
charges at Dream for a move. Dream counters this with a back body drop,
but Tate lands on the ring apron, before nailing a springboard dropkick.
Tate then hops in the corner and nails a huge leaping back elbow for a two
count. Tate then lifts Dream up and attempts his Showstopper, but the big
man manages to wriggle free, before hitting an exploder suplex. As Tate
gets up, out of nothing Dream locks on the Sweet Dreams! Tate seems to be
fading slowly, and in desperation pulls forward and kicks off the turnbuckle,
giving him enough momentum to nail a jawbreaker! As Dream stands dazed,
Tate hooks the arm and nails the Showstopper! Tate makes the cover for the
three, getting a big win over the ex-world champion! Tate poses on the turnbuckle
to a huge pop after the match, but Dream, incredibly annoyed at losing,
brings him back down to earth with a powerbomb out of the corner, before
spitting on the fallen star and leaving to huge heat. Eventually Tate leaves
the ringside area too to a big pop following the upset!
Winner: 'Franchise' Cooper Tate
Intercontinental
Title: Daniel
'The Devil' Estacado (c) vs. 'Raw Deal' Jay
Hall
Before the match can start, the cameras go backstage to Jay Hall's dressing
room, ready for a promo from him and Triple S. However, out of nowhere Daniel
Estacado jumps the pair of them, and Hall and Estacado start brawling early
prior to their match! The two battle through the backstage area, Estacado
tossing Jay across a table before ramming his head into a drinks machine.
Estacado then tries to shove the drinks machine onto Jay, but Hall moves,
before DDT'ing Estacado onto it. Hall then picks up Estacado and sends him
into the wall, before grabbing a crate of fruit from by the drinks machine
and cracking it over Estacado's head! Jay then charges at Estacado, but
the IC champion moves, sending Jay crashing into the wall, before stumbling
back into a suplex on the concrete. Back in the ring the referee looks on
at this and orders the match to be begun when they both reach the ringside
area. Estacado meanwhile leads Jay into one of the toilets, where he rams
him into a sink before smashing a bin across his head. Estacado then tries
to throw Jay into one of the urinals, but Jay blocks and pushes Estacado
back headfirst into a toilet, before flushing it, gaining some laughs from
the crowd! The brawl continues out and the two eventually crash through
a door into the vice-presidents temporary office for tonight, where the
VP is enjoying a cup of tea and a watch of Sunday Night Heat on a television
set! He seems shocked as the two enter, Jay smashing Estacado's head on
the top of the TV, before Estacado grabs the vice-presidents cup of tea
and smashes it over Jay's head, bloodying him! The VP pushes them both out
of his office, before locking the door behind him, as the brawl continues,
Jay grabbing a glass pitcher on the way down the corridor and breaking it
over Estacado's head, busting him open too! Hall then dumps Estacado onto
a pile of boxes before going and manning a forklift truck. He charges with
it at full speed, trying to impale Estacado, but the IC champ moves, before
throwing a hand full of something into Jay's eyes! Estacado then slams Jay
back onto the boxes, before climbing up on the forklift trucks' arms and
ordering one of the ring seconds to send it upwards! Estacado is elevated
up on the forklift and dives off with an elbow drop onto Jay and the boxes,
but he doesn't hold up, dragging Jay nearer to the ringside area, the two
finally emerging in the crowd! Estacado throws Jay down some steps, but
somehow Hall uses his momentum to land on his feet, before taking Estacado
out with a roaring elbow! Jay then pulls Estacado over to the front of that
tier of the crowd, and pushes him a couple of feet down to the next tier.
Estacado stands up dazed, but is shocked as he is met with a moonsault by
Jay down onto him! The crowd chant the ex-world champions' name as he slowly
gets up and drags Estacado nearer to the ring, finally the two of them going
over the barricade and entering the ring, the referee calling for the match
to start. Jay instantly strikes with some martial arts kicks, ending with
a high kick that sends the already weakened Estacado down. The referee begins
a ten count, but Estacado gets up at seven. Jay then charges for a roaring
elbow, but Estacado counters with a stiff elbow of his own, this time sending
Jay down for a seven count. Both men match each other move for move for
a moment, until eventually Hall manages to send Estacado out with a dropkick.
The Raw Deal then charges out with his inside to out somersault hurancanrana,
but Estacado catches him, preparing for a powerbomb through the announcers'
table! Jay struggles, and after a strong chop to the head, drops out and
locks on the Limit Break! The crowd pop as Estacado struggles, but out of
nothing, the IC champ throws himself backwards, sending both men through
the announcers' table! The referee continues the count out count, and at
9 slowly both men begin to get up, before both falling back and getting
counted out at the same time! The crowd chant for a few more minutes but
the referee doesn't allow it, ending the match in a draw.
Result: Double count-out
After
the match:
Triple S all of a sudden appears again to a huge pop, and begins to help
Jay up from ringside. He pulls him into the ring, and raises his long time
friends' arm to a huge pop from the crowd. However, all of a sudden Daniel
Estacado gets back to his feet and re-enters the ring, attacking Jay Hall,
trying to finish what they started earlier. The crowd pop big time as Triple
S cuts him off, tripping him up and locking on the Idolizer, whilst Jay
pulls Estacado's upper torso up slightly and locks on the Limit Break! Dark
Knight charges out and runs off Jay before squaring up to Triple S, starting
our main event...
World
Title: Dark
Knight (c) vs. Triple S
Dark Knight came in with fists flying. Triple S returned fire until being
caught with a reverse neckbreaker by the World Champion. Triple S was then
able to reverse a rock bottom attempt by Dark Knight with a jawbreaker to
gain the upperhand. Triple S then whipped DK into the corner and hit him
with a Superstar Splash (stinger splash). DK falls to the canvas as Triple
S headed to the top rope. Triple S goes for a moonsault but Dark Knight
moves out of the way and 3S lands hard on the mat. DK locks in a sharpshooter
but Triple S refuses to give up his shot at becoming BSW World Champion.
DK releases the hold and Triple S catches him off-guard with a leg sweep.
The two BSW legends make their way to their feet and staredown in the middle
of the ring as the crowd pops louder and louder. The two once again trade
punches before out of nowhere the World Champion hits the Jaws of Death
(twist of fate) on Triple S. The ref got to 2.8 before 3S was able to kick
out. The World Champ thought it was a slow count and grabbed the ref by
the neck. Triple S then made it to his feet and as DK turned around Shane
hit him with a powerbomb out of nowhere and then applied the Idolizer (sharpshooter).
The crowd cheered as it looked like we were about to have a new Champion
but coming back down to the ring was 'The Devil' with a sledgehammer in
hand. Estacado slides into the ring and hits Triple S with the sledge as
the ref calls for the bell.
Winner by DQ: Triple S
After
the Match:
DK thanks Estacado for making the save but as Daniel turns his back to raise
his arms to the crowd, Knight hits him with a full nelson slam and performs
the Final Destination on him. Knight then picks up a mic.
KNIGHT:
Call it tough love... call it payback... call it whatever you'd like. But
as for you and I.... I'll call it even. But the next time you get confused
on whom you really are... you had better damn remember who the hell I am.
Knight
then helps up the fallen Estacado and the two leave to big heat as DK still
has the BSW World Title over his shoulder as Rave goes off the air.
