Let er Rip. NWA Saturday Night shows for July 29th, 2006.

YAY.

The next three episodes of Saturday Night are all going to be spoiler version for me, since I'm leaving town for two weeks. I wrote all three shows this morning, so if they come across as being very "Impact-like" then you know why.

Good show Rowe. The Bischoff-3D stuff is interesting, and I like you playing off of the whole NWA concept with buyout talk. Interesting that his clients would in fact be guys from WWE and ECW, when he was just talking about hating it. Would've been nice to see some WCW guys like the Thrillers, but shit, that isn't happening. :)

Love to see you teasing Jericho-Rock to end the show. That's the money program, and I hope we're heading to it.

Big Show pulls another nice match out of his ass somehow.

I like your team of Tajiri & Brown, and nice to see them starting some heat with the tag champs, AMW.

I can't believe Foley-Flair-Dreamer is STILL going on.

Good show overall, and nice direction for post-32 Flavors.

Rhino isn't that great. If Scotty 2 Hotty can pin him cleanly in M-A, Scotty can pin him cleanly in NEW. I challenge you!!!

No, not really. You'd just book Rhino to defeat Scotty 2 Hotty in a 28 second squash match that would include no fewer than three Gores, and then in DQ when he Gores the referee because he got bored Goring Scotty.

Yes... yes I would.

:Gores Rowe and puts him in the Camel Clutch:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the show. I have a shortage of ex-WCW guys on my roster, besides Chris Jericho who's busy doing other stuff, so Edge and RVD are my guys instead. Hopefully their involvement will make a little more sense in the coming weeks :)

I have a good feeling we are. I have some long term plans for this one, even if Rock is going on tour at the end of the month.

NEW wishes Big Show the best of luck in PTL.

I really like them too. I hope they teach those punks in AMW a lesson at Summerslam.

It's a fun feud to write for. It's not going to work out the way I had dreamed it to (if you read the shows I PMed you, you'll know what I mean) but it's really the most convenient way to use both of them at this point.

Thanks, Jamie. I always feel one of the hardest parts in these EWR games is coming up with something new and interesting once a big event has passed.

NWA Central States Wrestling presents....
CSW Cyclone Saturday Night

July 29, 2006
Announcers: Joey Styles & Tazz
Kansas City, MO

A video package opens the show, featuring what seemed to be a Gang Warfare atmosphere last week on Cyclone. The Full Blooded Italians debut and beatdown on Charlie Haas is shown. We then see Alex Shelley getting his knee slammed into the backstage door by Degeneration X. The package closes with images of Monster C & Mr. Brown bloodying Brock Lesnar, only to have Lesnar snatch the mask off of C’s head, and wipe it on his own bloody face. Joey Styles opens the show:

Styles: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Cyclone, and what a show we have for you tonight. A stacked card from top to bottom. Listen to this lineup. In the Cyclone Spotlight, it will be new spotlight holder Austin Aries going one on one with Low Ki! Petey Williams will take on Super Crazy, the tag team partner of the man he will face tomorrow night at Insurgency. Then, we have Samoa Joe going one on one with the newest addition to CSW, The Undertaker! Undertaker said that if Joe lasts 3 minutes in the ring with him tonight, he’ll get a one on one match at Insurgency. And finally, our HUGE Main Event. Triple H defends his CSW Championship against Alex Shelley, and both DX and Generation Next have been banned from ringside by President Bret Hart. Insurgency is tomorrow, but Cyclone is NOW!


Cyclone Spotlight: Austin Aries v Low Ki
Aries walks to the ring first, looking very focused. He grabs a microphone from ringside:

Aries: Kansas City! (cheers) We’re one day away from Insurgency. (cheers). I’m in the Cyclone Spotlight. (cheers). And I promise you, that during Cyclone tonight, you’re gonna find out who the 4th man is on our team that is gonna help us kick Degeneration X’s asses tomorrow night! (huge cheers).

Aries drops the mic as Low Ki makes his way down to the ring. Ki slides in and quickly goes on the attack. Another great wrestling match opens up Cyclone, with back and forth action throughout. Aries hits a swinging elbow drop, and follows up with a jumping knee for a near fall. Low Ki remains in control of the match with hard kicks, and quick movements. Low Ki goes for the Ki-Krusher, but Aries drops behind him, and cinches him up for a brainbuster. 1...2..No! Low Ki kicks out. The hot back and forth match continues, until X-pac comes walking down the aisle yet again. Aries notices him, but also noticed Roderick Strong trailing him yet again. Strong again takes care of X-pac, as Aries whips Low Ki to the corner. The Finish: Aries sets Ki on the top rope, and yells out for a brainbuster from the top! As he climbs up to him, he is suddenly distracted as now Billy Gunn has made his way out. He blindsides Strong, who is still fighting with X-pac, and the two degenerates plant him with a double spinebuster in the aisle. The momentary distraction allows Ki to hit a hard palm strike to the face of Aries, who falls backwards, caught in the tree of woe. Ki steps down hard on Aries’ knee, forcing him up into a seated position. Ki jumps off, with huge elevation, and comes down with the Ghetto Stomp right to Aries’ face. He covers. 1...2...3! The spotlight changes hands again!

Low Ki defeats Austin Aries by pinfall in 13:01. (78/79/95)
Post-Match: DX walks to the back, looking at the two fallen members of Degeneration X around ringside. Low Ki grabs the still unconscious Aries by the hair and lifts his face towards the camera in the ring. ”Jimmy Yang. Tomorrow...this is you”. With that, Ki throws Aries down and walks away from ringside, stepping over Strong in the aisle on his way.

Styles: Another amazing matchup opens the Cyclone Spotlight, and Low Ki has officially snapped that losing streak with a bang. He faces Jimmy Yang tomorrow night. But how about the chaotic nature we’ve already seen. One match, and 3 members of tomorrow night’s Main Event fighting around ringside? Wait, we’re being told a camera is following Low Ki to the back for some kind of disturbance...


Backstage Segment: Checking the Itinerary
A cameraman follows Low Ki down the last steps of the Gorilla Position, where we see Triple H, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-pac huddled around a sign on the wall. Triple H looks up as Ki passes by.

Triple H: Hey, buddy. Nice work out there. Only next time, don’t be afraid to go ahead and stomp his face one more time after the match, okay.

Road Dogg laughs in approval and holds his hand up for a high five. Ki just stares at it, and walks away.

Road Dogg: Well who pooed in his applesauce?

Triple H grimaces at the disrespect of Ki, but turns his attention back to the wall, motioning the other members of DX to look.

Triple H: Okay, here is the lineup for tonight. We already had Aries luck out against that crazy fighting monkey, and let’s see....

As Triple H talks, the camera zooms in on the lineup:

AUSTIN ARIES v LOW KI

FULL BLOODED ITALIANS INTERVIEW

SEAN O’HAIRE v RODERICK STRONG

Triple H: Well boys, it looks like it just might be our lucky day. Now where is that big sonofabitch at?

X-pac motions down the hallway, where we see Sean O’Haire and Mark Jindrak, the CSW Tag Team Champions standing in a corner talking. O’Haire is warming up, stretching his legs. DX walks towards them as the camera crew follows. The Outlaws slide out of their usually joking demeanor as they see the Tag Titles lying on a chair next to the Thrillers.

Triple H: The Natural Born Thrillers.

Jindrak: Degeneration X

Triple H: Well good, now that we got the pleasantries out of the way, let’s talk business.

O’Haire: Triple H, if there is one thing I’ve learned about you in my career, it’s that you’re in business for one person, and one person only: Triple H

Triple H smiles, knowing the truth behind the statement, but shakes it off.

Triple H: Ehh, Sean Sean Sean. You’re wise beyond your years, you know that? But actually this time around I was kind of thinking of a ‘We scratch your back, you scratch ours’ kind of thing.

O’Haire: Well, my back doesn’t exactly itch, although my shoulder gets tired sometimes from carrying around this 15 pounds of gold.

O’Haire picks up his title as Road Dogg shoots a glance towards Billy Gunn. Triple H plays mediator.

Triple H: Okay boys, enough. Listen, you have a match out there tonight with Roderick Strong. Basically, I just wanted to talk a little strategy with you, that’s all.

O’Haire: Okaaay, but I can beat Roderick Strong on my own. I’m still waiting for the ‘you scratching my back’ part of the equation.

Triple H: Listen, I know you can beat Strong on your own. Look at you, it’s just that I was thinking...(inaudible).

Triple H shoots a look towards the camera crew, and huddles up with Gunn, Dogg, X-pac, Jindrak, and O’Haire, whispering for a few seconds, before Road Dogg pokes his head out of the huddle.

Road Dogg: What? But we have a match tomorr –

Triple H: Hey! It’s all about the big picture, remember?

Road Dogg calms down and calms himself, as O’Haire and Jindrak look at each other and smile.

O’Haire: You’ve got a deal, let’s go.

Triple H: Of course I do. Now here’s what I was thinking...

With that, Triple H and O’Haire walk down the hallway, leaving an awkward moment between Jindrak, X-pac, Road Dogg, and Gunn. They all look around, and quickly follow the two down the hallway, listening in.


In-Ring Segment: Hot Blooded
The newest tag team in CSW, the Full Blooded Italians make their way out to the ring with their manager, Joel Gertner. Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke slide into the ring and shadow box for a minute with each other, until Gertner calms them and hushes them.

Gertner: (clearing his throat). Hello, Kansas City. I’ve always loved KC, mainly for its beautiful public school system. I keep getting older, but they always stay the same age. Yes, it is I. Joel, ‘I’ll try not to make a mess, even though I deliver more package than U.P.S.’......Gertner. And I’m here once again to present to you the team that just last week made it’s earth vibrating debut here in CSW. The team that will revolutionize, re-energize, and re-penalize the tag team world: First, standing to my right, weighing in a massive, ripped, chiseled, buff, towering, powering, and deflowering 385 pounds, I give you Little Gui---

Gertner is cut off by some music before he can proceed with his introduction. It’s Charlie Haas, and he has a microphone.

Haas: Gertner, your shtick was lame 10 years ago when you were doing it, and I promise you no one here is impressed now either. I’m here for one reason. I’ve proven in CSW that no one puts a beatdown on me without getting some sort of payback for it, and the FBI won’t be any different.

Gertner: Really Charlie, is that so? Cause once again you seem to have a problem with numbers. I have two of the biggest baddest athletes in the world standing next to me, and I look down there and see a FORMER tag team superstar. You can’t even keep a partner. Shelton Benjamin left you for single’s “glory”, I think you used to team with Hardcore Holly, who is in some hospital bed now. Charlie, you’re like the kiss of death. Hell, your own brother even kicked the bucket on you because he was so tired of carrying all your baggage!

Before Gertner can even finish, Haas has thrown down the mic and yelled out “you sonofabitch” and is headed into the ring. Gertner retreats out the other side, and Haas slides in to an immediately double team from the FBI. They beat him down quickly, and Mamaluke holds him in place as Guido goes up top for the Sicilian Slice. The crowd explodes! It’s Shelton Benjamin!! He rushes down to the ring, and jumps onto the apron, shoving Guido off and to the outside, where he nails the railing. He jumps over the top rope and unloads on Mamaluke before giving him a belly to belly suplex over the top to the outside. He grabs the microphone that Gertner left behind as the FBI retreat up the ramp:

Benjamin: FBI! Nobody treat my boy like this. You think you know what family is about cause you try to run around acting like the Mob? No, this is family...

Benjamin reaches down and extends his hand to Haas. Haas takes it, and is pulled to his feet.

Benjamin: Hell, this is the world’s GREATEST family, and you just became the first victims in our comeback, tomorrow night, at Insurgency!

Sean O’Haire v Roderick Strong
Roderick Strong makes his way out to the ring first, carefully inspecting his surroundings. O’Haire is out next, with his Tag Team Partner Mark Jindrak along with him. The referee quickly sends Jindrak to the back, not wanting to see any shenanigans in this match. The match is underway and is a physical match, featuring a great meshing of two different styles. O’Haire uses his power to try to control the match, while Strong continues to chop away at the chest of O’Haire until it is beat red. Strong tries his array of backbreakers, but O’Haire is a big dude, and constantly powers out. Strong locks in a backbreaker for a long heat segment in the middle, but O’Haire reaches the ropes. Almost like clockwork, at the 10 minute mark, the crowd rises to its feet. Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and X-pac all come sauntering down the aisle towards the ring. The Finish: The referee immediately notices them and is ordering them to the back. O’Haire grabs hold of the ref, and seems to be pleading the same case, for DX to be ejected from ringside. The crowd hits another level, as Triple H comes through the crowd and into the ring behind Strong. He spins him around, nails the Pedigree, and bails out the same way he came in. DX calmly turns and leaves and the ref is perplexed as he turns and counts the 3 for O’Haire.

Sean O’Haire defeats Roderick Strong by pinfall in 10:45. (72/70/90)
Post-Match: O’Haire smiles in the ring as the plan comes to fruition. He walks out with his head high, having picking up the victory. Strong comes too, and doesn’t look happy. He walks with a purpose to the locker room.

Tazz: I think DX thinks they are running the show tonight, cause it sure feels like the inmates are running the Asylum tonight Joey. Pure chaos, bodies all over the place, and no semblance of order. What a night it has been so far!


Petey Williams w/Trish Stratus v Super Crazy
Petey and Super Crazy go right at it, in another great match on Cyclone. Petey focuses in the match on using, or attempting alot of Psicosis offense. It seems as though he has definitely been doing his homework. Around the 7 minute mark, Petey hits a russian legsweep off of the middle rope for a very near fall. Crazy is backed into the corner, and Petey tries a dropkick, but hits nothing, and comes crashing down on his head. Crazy regains control, and barely misses a top rope moonsault at the 10 minute mark. The Finish: Petey sets Crazy up for the Canadian Destroyer, and nails it. Instead of covering though, he smiles coyly, and heads to the top rope. He leaps off, nailing a Guillotine Legdrop. He covers for the 3 count and the victory.

Petey Williams defeats Super Crazy by pinfall in 11:00. (72/71/92)
Post-Match: Petey immediately gets up and shoots a look towards his manager Trish Stratus. She nods her head, and Petey goes up top again. He stands on the top, looking out to the arena and basking in the boos. He leaps off, nailing another Guillotine legdrop on the prone Super Crazy. Trish hands the KC Border Title to Petey, and he straps it around his waist and holds up a finger to the crowd, if to say ‘wait one more minute’. Petey scales the ropes again, and stands on the top, shining his belt. Looks like one more legdrop. But running down the aisle is Psicosis. Petey sees him and jumps off the top to the outside as Psicosis slides into the ring. Petey and Trish retreat to the back as Psicosis helps up his tag team partner.


Samoa Joe v The Undertaker
The crowd is buzzing for what would normally be a main event match on any other night. The announcers again go through the stipulations. If Joe can last 3 minutes with Undertaker, then he will get a match with him at Insurgency. Undertaker is out first, walking to the ring in a black vest and blue jeans, with a bandana covering his head. He looks as apathetic as ever as he gets into the ring. Joe makes he way down next to a huge pop, and stands in the ring, holding up his right hand to the crowd. Before he can even turn around, Undertaker reigns down on him with thunderous blows to the back. The ref calls for the bell as he wrenches on the arm, and yells “Old School” to a modest reaction. Taker scales the ropes, and walks out to the middle, but Joe suddenly lets go of his hand, and chops the back of his knee with his arm, crotching Taker on the top rope. Joe looks to the crowd, and explodes towards Taker, grabbing him while he is on the ropes in the Kokina Clutch. He yanks the deadman off of the ropes, and into the ring, where he bodyscissors him and squeezes around his throat. Undertaker taps out!!!

Samoa Joe defeats Undertaker by submission in :40. (72/90/60)
Post-Match: Oh my god! Joe just defeated Taker in 40 seconds? Joe releases the hold and looks down at the “legend”. He looks like he gives thought to slapping the choke back on, but then smirks and motions with a “he isn’t worth it” gesture, stepping through the ropes and walking to the back. The camera doesn’t even take a shot of Taker lying in the ring.


Backstage Segment: Getting Put Together
A camera shot with no sound, but instead some music in the background, shows Alex Shelley in the trainers’ room getting his knee re-taped. He is gingerly stepping on it as he stretches out his arms. He takes a deep breath as he walks out of the room, putting more and more weight on his leg as he goes.


Brent Albright & Ken Shamrock v ?????
Albright & Shamrock makes their way out to the ring. Albright has a bit of a confused look on his face as Shamrock takes the microphone:

Shamrock: I know I’ve been a little quiet today in regards to what is going on here tonight. I just wanted to save the surprise for you and for the people here in Kansas City. Brent, you’ve come a hell of a long way in a short amount of time in our training. I’m really starting to see that potential for a hell of a wrestler in there, and that aggressive streak is coming along nicely. Well, based on the events of last week, and a fortunate opening for us, I got us an opportunity. With one win tonight, we will earn ourselves a shot at the CSW Tag Team Titles tomorrow night. I know, I know. It is a bit sudden, but I feel like it is a challenge you and I are ready for, and we’re ready to put some gold around our waists here in CSW. The only catch was that the Natural Born Thrillers got to pick us our qualifying match here tonight. So do you people wanna see Brent Albright & Ken Shamrock go for the Tag Titles?? (loud cheers—interrupted)

OH YOU DIDN’T KNOW?! YOUR ASS BETTER CALL SOMEBODAAAAAY

The New Age Outlaws saunter out onto the stage, and Styles calls it best:

Styles: Sonofabitch, it is all coming together now, isn’t it Tazz. You scratch DX’s back, and they scratch yours. Well, Albright & Shamrock have a hell of a test in front of them to get to the Tag Team Champions, courtesy of the plotting of Triple H and the Thrillers. But there’s the bell!

The Outlaws use their tag team experience to their full potential, isolating Shamrock in the corner for a long portion of the match. Shamrock fights out, but the Outlaws keep the ref occupied, missing the hot tag to Albright. Albright is chomping at the bit to get in, and Shamrock finally hits the hot tag. Albright cleans house with chops, knee strikes, and vicious forearms shots to the face. Billy Gunn takes a wild swing, and Albright drops him into the Crowbar. Road Dogg quickly breaks it up, and the ref is losing control. The Finish: Road Dogg and Shamrock battle while Albright and Gunn slug it out. Suddenly Austin Aries & Roderick Strong come walking down the aisle now to repay the favor from earlier. Gunn has his attention turned towards the aisle, and turns around right into a Northern Lights Suplex for the win!

Albright & Shamrock defeat New Age Outlaws by pinfall in 8:02. (71/80/79)
Post-Match: Aries & Strong immediately slide into the ring and take it to the Outlaws, in a huge brawl. Cyclone is going crazy tonight! The two teams brawl, and Albright grabs Billy Gunn by the shoulder, spinning him around. He cocks his fist back, but before he can strike, Shamrock grabs ahold of him, motioning to him to come to the back. With a camera right in their face, you can hear Shamrock saying “Let’s worry about our own business right now” as they walk to the back. Albright looks hungry, and looks like he wants to be involved as the two teams continue fighting in the ring. Referees come out and manage to separate them momentarily, and the Outlaws head to the back first.

Styles: Well, Albright & Shamrock will go on to Insurgency to face the CSW Tag Team Champions for the gold, but this show continues to unravel. Chaos has broken loose on Cyclone, and we need to restore some kind of order. DX and Generation Next are out of control, and we still haven’t seen the 4th member of their team!


In-Ring Segment: Out For Blood
Brock Lesnar’s music hits as the crowd explodes. Lesnar walks to the ring with the yellow blood stained mask in his hand. He gets into the ring and grabs the mic.

Lesnar: Steve Corino! You want my blood? Did you like the feel of my blood last week? Did you like the site of it? Well I can tell you one thing...I did!! Corino, you’re a dead man tomorrow night at Insurgency. As much as I’d love to taste my own blood again, and awaken that inner animal inside of me, I know that this isn’t a match where I’ll get a chance to do it. This is first blood, and I personally guarantee you that I am done bleeding for the week. Last week is the last time you’ll get a chance to have your hands on my blood Steve, because from now –

Lesnar is cut off by the music of Steve Corino. He steps out onto the stage with Mr. Brown in tow, still outside of his comfortable 100 feet as measured a few weeks ago.

Corino: Brock, first thing is first. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I stepped out of the curtain last week to make sure my man Mr. Brown got to the ring okay, to make sure he would kick your ass, and then I left the arena. I wasn’t even here. So I have no clue what you’re talking about with this “getting my hands on your blood” nonsense.

Lesnar: I’m talking about this mask! I’m talking about “Monster C”. Everybody in the arena, everybody watching at home, and everybody backstage knows that YOU are Monster –

Lesnar is cut off, his mouth suddenly stopping, as Monster C steps through the curtain. In identical ring garb, but looking a few pounds lighter, it appears to be the man that attacked Lesnar last week. The crowd isn’t buying it.

Corino: Oh, what now Brock? You gonna tell me that this is all an illusion. If everybody in the arena knows it, then how can they be staring at me and Monster C side by side. You just calm down Brock Lesnar. There is no way I would dream of violating my restraining order against you, which has worked beautifully by the way: I haven’t been BRUTALLY ATTACKED lately. Now listen to me Brock, I came out for a reason, and then I’m going to hop in the back of a horse and carriage or whatever it is they use to get around in these parts, and head to Columbia, Missouri. I just learned from President Bret Hart, that due to my amazing stature in the company, our First Blood match tomorrow night will have another special stipulation.

Lesnar: I can kill you without any repercussions from the law?

Corino: (sarcastically laughing) Oh, that Brock Lesnar, always so witty. No Brock, the stakes are going to be a little higher. Because the winner of our match becomes the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, to the CSW Championship!

Lesnar lets out a maniacal smile, but Corino quickly regains his attention.

Corino: I will give you one little advantage in our match Brock. You have the experience factor. After all, you’ve been with that slut Sable for a while now, and it is only a matter of time before she sucks your blood and your bank account dry!

This puts Lesnar over the edge, and he drops the mic and charges down the entranceway. Corino is quickly gone through the curtain, but Lesnar goes head on into Mr. Brown and Monster C. He controls for a bit, but they outnumber him and take him down. Lesnar starts to make a comeback, but Monster C grabs a camera from one of the crew, and nails Lesnar over the back with it. Brown holds him up, and Monster C shatters the camera right into Brock’s head. The camera explodes into many pieces, Brock hits the ground, and is busted open. It looks nasty. They put the boots to him, opening up his cut even more. Lesnar is quickly wearing a crimson mask, and we suddenly hear Corino’s voice again.

Corino: Yeah Brock, that’s right. I thought you weren’t gonna taste blood again this week. Get up! C’mon!

A spotlight quickly scrambles to find Corino, and the crowd explodes when it is revealed that he is on top of the set, above the giant TV screen, probably 125 feet directly above the mob on the ground. Brown and C stay on top of Lesnar, beating him into the ground as he gushes blood. Officials are surrounding the area, but Mr. Brown shoves one to the ground, forcing the others to use caution.

Corino: Bring it to me boys! I want his blood. I wanna feel it just once before I open him up tomorrow night. Bring me his blood!

Corino appears to have lost his mind, and Mr. Brown and Monster C begin rubbing their hands all over Lesnar’s bloody face. A pool has formed in the entranceway, and Lesnar looks to be losing consciousness quickly. Monster C and Brown walk away from Lesnar, and officials quickly run to him with towels and attempt to help him. Corino is jabbering through the whole ordeal. A few seconds later, the crowd awakens again, as C and Brown have arrived on top of the set. They rub their blood covered hands all over the chest of Corino, who is maniacally laughing and chatting away on the house microphone. Corino runs his own hands over the blood, and paints warpaint on his face with it.

Corino: Lesnar, tomorrow night, your blood is mine....if you make it to the arena.

Medics are surrounding Lesnar, and the show cuts away to a brief break as they help him up.

Styles: Steve Corino has gone completely insane. There is no other way to put it.

Main Event: CSW Championship Match
Triple H © v Alex Shelley
Before either man makes their entrance to the ring, President Bret Hart walks down to the ring to a loud reaction from the crowd.

Hart: Thank you, but this is all business. As you all know, Degeneration X and Generation Next have been banned from ringside for this matchup. This will be the biggest matchup on Cyclone to date, and I plan to have it be a clean and orderly affair. I have 10 security guards standing in front of the curtain and behind the curtain to the entranceway. There will be no interference in this match, and I think I’ve made myself perfectly clear. Enjoy your main event, and we’ll see you tomorrow night at Insurgency.

Hart sounds a bit salty as both Triple H and Alex Shelley are given full ring intros. The bell rings, and the match is underway for the CSW Championship. Shelley is very tentative, keeping him distance from Triple H and looking for openings when he can get them. Triple H, meanwhile, looks to be taking Shelley a bit lightly, and is messing with him a bit, trying to get to the knee. Joey Styles chimes in with a quick blurb:

Styles: Folks we just wanted to pass this on to you. We’re getting reports of brawls all over the backstage area between DX and Generation Next. We’re trying to get a camera back there, but reportedly, President Hart won’t allow it.

Triple H grabs a headlock, working it deep on Shelley. Shelley pushes him off, into the ropes, and Triple H hits a shoulderblock. Triple H bounces off the ropes, jumps over Shelley, but Shelley is quick to his feet and nails a hiptoss. Triple H doesn’t look happy. The feeling out process continues for a while, and things break down around the 7 minute mark. Triple H knocks Shelley to the outside, and goes to work. The fans immediately rise, waiting for something big to happen, looking towards the entranceway. Triple H whips Shelley towards the railing, but Shelley reverses, sending Triple H into it instead. Shelley nails a back elbow, and they head back in the ring. It gets fast and furious for a bit, until Shelley makes a mistake, and Triple H nails a hard kick to the knee. From there, Triple H takes him to school.

Styles: Okay, another report now that there is fighting OUTSIDE of the building? This is insanity, and why can’t we find a camera somewhere!

Triple H works the knee over, and eventually locks on a figure four right in the middle of the ring. Shelley looks like he wants to tap, and it appears tears are even flowing from his eyes, but he refuses. The referee looks to the timekeeper, and looks like he is considering stopping the contest, but Shelley screams and manages to turn the hold over, forcing a break by Triple H. Triple H stalks Shelley, and sets him up for the Pedigree, but Shelley just falls to the mat. He can’t even get to a standing position. Triple H picks him up again, but Shelley drops again. Triple H looks out to the crowd and laughs. He picks him up a third time, but Shelley surprises him with a small package. 1....2...NEAR FALL! The crowd bought that one entirely. Triple H looks pissed, and floors him with a hard knee to the face. The crowd level starts rising, and we quickly see why. In the distance, on the floor level, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and Austin Aries are brawling throughout the crowd. Triple H looks out, and he drags Shelley across the ring. The crowd explodes again, as Roderick Strong & X-pac are practically tumbling down the stairs in another section of the arena. The 5 quickly brawl their way towards the front row of the arena, and Triple H drags Shelley into the corner.

The Finish: The referee is losing his mind, trying to get the others to stay away from ringside. X-pac gets thrown over the guard railing onto the ringside mats, on the other side of the ring from Triple H. Triple H slides out of the ring, and is going to do the Figure Four on the Ringpost. This could seriously injure Alex Shelley. The Outlaws toss Aries over the railing as well, fully breaching the earlier stipulation. Triple H grabs both legs of Shelley, and sets up, but someone just stepped over the railing. Wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie, the man stands right behind Triple H with the hood covering his face. Triple H hasn’t even seen him! The man flips off the hood. ITS SAMOA JOE!!! He slaps the Kokina Clutch on Triple H, and Triple H doesn’t even know what hit him. Before he can do much damage, Billy Gunn run towards Joe, but Joe quickly drops Triple H and hits a snap powerslam on Billy Gunn on the mats on the outside. Shelley pulls himself from the corner, as Aries & Strong neutralize X-pac and Road Dogg. Strong fires X-pac over the top rope, and he lands right in front of the other 3 members of DX, standing in the aisle. Triple H holds his throat, as Road Dogg helps Billy Gunn and X-pac to their feet. Alex Shelley is still laying on the mat, but Strong helps him up, and Shelley has a mic.

No Contest. Double Disqualification at 15:49. (73/84/79)

Shelley: Degeneration X! Meet our partner.....SAMOA JOE!!!!

Shelley chucks the microphone, and the show goes off the air with Shelley leaning on Strong with an arm around him, Joe standing on the middle rope smiling at DX, and Austin Aries holding the ropes open, begging for DX to come get some more.

That's a hell of a line-up, btw.

Trying a different format this week:

NWA Saturday Night:

Acerdo Dorado d. Charly Manson by DQ
Manson won the first fall after a moonsault press. Dorado came back and won the second fall with a figure four leglock. Manson got DQed on the third fall for a low blow. ***1/4 64/54/91

Fast Eddie cut a promo. He talked about how great he was and how he was going to take Mexico by storm.

Ultimo Guerrero d. Milano Collection AT w/ the Guerrero Special
Guerrero won the first fall with a powerbomb into a pinfall. Collection fought back hard during the second fall but Guerrero caught him with a low blow behind the refs back for the win. ***58/47/84

World Trios Tournament Quarter-Final:
Taka Michinoku ©, Kaz Hayashi and Ikuto Hidaka d. El Hijo Del Santo ©, Ultimo Dragon and Blue Demon Jr.
The teams split the first 2 falls after the captains pinned each other. The third fall saw Blue Demon Jr. botch a double team that lead to him and Ultimo Dragon being pinned. **3/4 59/51/81

Abismo Negro and La Parka II got into an argument backstage and brawled before security could pull them apart.

World Trios Tournament Quarter-Final
Dr. Wagner Jr. ©, Abismo Negro and Cibernetico d. Perro Aguayo Jr. © Damian 666 and Halloween
Ultimo Guerrero got involved in the third fall which led to Aguayo falling victim to Wagner's Tiger Bomb. **3/4 63/63/78

El Zorro hyped himself up backstage and also chatted with some fans outside of the arena.

Main Event:
Juventud Guerrera d. Latin Lover in a cage match
A wild brawl inside the cage. Juvy took the first fall after a brainbuster and the 450 splash. Lover fought back in the second round and won with a moonsault. Juvy won the third fall after Lover's knee gave out on a suplex and Juvy rolled him up for the win. Looks like Juvy keeps his hair and the Latin Lover doesn't get a title shot for a year. ***1/4 74/84/82

Overall: 62%

We got a 2.03 rating for 'NWA Saturday Night'!
The attendance level was 3503 people.
We made $105090 from ticket sales.

I like the new format a lot better, MD.

Since I originally posted this in the wrong thread...here it is.

NWA: Pushing The Limits presents Saturday Night Killing Spree

The show opens with no music, no video package, just a shot of Kurt Angle standing in front of his team for the 10 man tag match to decide the fate of PTL. In the background many of the PTL faithful wrestlers are looking on. The only ones fierce foursome located behind him are Bryan Danielson, Chris Hero, and The Hardy Boyz.

Angle: Last week we accepted the challenge of defending the honor of PTL for you fans. We know that there are some aspects of the new PTL under Mr. Backlund that we all find offensive, but we stand here ready to defend our home. We realize that we have the opportunity to build this territory from the ground up and become the best location for wrestling in the entire NWA. We have the talent here in PTL to put to shame places like NEW and CSW. We are the best there is in this organization. So, in a few minutes you will see us stepping into the ring against the goddamn rebels, led by Mr. Holier-than-Thou himself, Shawn Michaels. Guess what, HBK. You'll be serving out the rest of your contract under whatever gimmick we damn well feel like after we beat your asses into the ground.

Angle turns to his team standing behind him intently listening.

Angle: Let's go protect our home, boys!

The camera immediately cuts to an image of Shawn Michaels watching Angle and his team head off towards the ring on a monitor in his locker room. Standing next to him are his team, consisting of MNM, Jack Evans, and Matt Sydal.

Michaels: So, they think they can trap us here in this hellhole longer by beating us today? What do you boys say about that?

Evans: That (audio edit) is not happening. I'm not putting on that goddamn monkey suit again, boss.

Michaels looks at the rest of his proteges, all nodding along.

Michaels: (looking directly into the camera) Damn right we're not letting that happen. We are going to destroy this organization and everything it stands for right here tonight. Next time I talk to you, it will be as a free man.

The camera cuts away and we see Doink standing at ringside ready to announce this show.

Doink: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're about to witness the most important match in PTL history! I'm standing here, alone as you may have noticed, ready to announce tonight's show. I'm alone because my usual broadcast partner had travel issues, so I'm going to have to do this one solo, folks.

As doing talks the camera cuts to a shot of the PTL defender team walking towards the ring, no music, looking determined.

Doink:Don't adjust your sets, folks. This is going to be the first match of the night. After much discussion backstage, it was determined that we should put the 10 man match for the fate of PTL on the card first, because any matches to come after would be completely pointless if somehow the unthinkable happens, and HBK's team of miscreants wins the day.

First Match: 10 Man Elimination Tag to Determin the Fate of PTL
Shawn Michaels, Jack Evans, Matt Sydal, and MNM
vs
Kurt Angle, Bryan Danielson, Chris Hero, and The Hardy Boyz

Michaels and Angle start the match in the ring. The match is quite back and forth with Angle using his shoot wrestling skills to keep the quicker Michaels down with Michaels showing a shocking amount of mat skills himself, often beating Angle at his own game. These two men spend the first 25 minutes of the match trading moves and holds without tagging in any of their teammates. Michaels whips Angle into the ropes and doesn't see Matt Hardy make the blind tag on Angle's back. Michaels superkicks Angle as he comes off the ropes and heads towards the ropes. It looks like he's going to try for the big elbow. Hardy quickly jumps up and greets Michaels on the ropes and connects with a Twist of Fate off the top rope. M. Hardy quickly covers him and gets the three count.

Shawn Michaels eliminated at 26:04

Doink: Oh My God! Matt Hardy has just eliminated the leader of the Anti-PTL team! This is a devastating blow to that team!

Jack Evans charges in and starts taking it to M. Hardy after that. With the numbers game against them, the Anti-PTL faction begin relying on the fact that they consist of two seasoned teams. They begin to use classic tag techniques to seperate M. Hardy from his partners, cutting the ring in half. They are able to keep Hardy in and on the defensive for upwards of 4 minutes, following the elimination of their leader. At the 10 minute mark, M. Hardy begins to mount a comeback and is able to break away from the Anti-PTL team and get a tag to his brother Jeff. However, in a classic move, Johnny Nitro had called the ref over and therefore the tag was not seen. While the ref goes over to push J. Hardy back out of the ring and starts jawing with the PTL team as they complain about the constant doubleteaming, Matt Sydal pops onto the apron holding the ring bell and cracks M. Hardy over the head with it. Evans covers as the Anti-PTL team yell for the ref. He counts the three before the PTL team can react.

Matt Hardy eliminated at 31:34

Doink: Those goddamn thugs have evened up the odds, but only through cheating. Those sons of bitches!

Jeff Hardy charges into the match, attacking Jack Evans like a man possessed. While he takes it to Evans, his teammates charge across the ring and Hero leaps over the ropes and takes out both MNM while Angle locks a rear naked choke on Sydal outside the ring. Danielson stands on the middle rope looking down at the chaos below him. While this all goes on, Jeff Hardy lays out Jack Evans with an implant DDT and climbs to the top. J. Hardy nails the Swanton and gets a quick three count.

Jack Evans elminated at 32:58

Doink: There may be a God after all, folks! PTL has the numbers advantage again!

Kurt Angle hears the announcement and rolls the limp body of Matt Sydal into the ring for J. Hardy to dispose of. Danielson continues standing on the ropes looking down over the carnage outside the ring as Angle moves to where MNM are mounting a small amount of offense against Hero and begins taking it to Nitro. Danielson climbs out of the ring and stands nearby waiting for his assistance to be needed. Meanwhile, in the ring, Hardy approaches the lifeless body of Sydal and begins to pick him up by the hair. Sydal suddenly shows life and grabs Hardy and rolls him up in a small package for the quick pin.

Jeff Hardy eliminated at 33:15

Doink: That dirty scoundrel was playing possum! He suckered Jeff Hardy in!

MNM have finally seperated themselves from Hero and Angle and team PTL begins to head back to their corner as Angle slides in and latches on the rear naked choke that he had just used outside the ring to incapacitate Sydal minutes earlier. MNM start to enter the ring for the save, but they are quickly intercepted by Hero and Danielson and sent back out of the ring as Sydal taps out.

Matt Sydal eliminated at 33:57

Doink: Wow! This action has become fast and furious. And now it's MNM vs. Chris Hero, Bryan Danielson, and Chris Hero. You've got to love our chances!

Johnny Nitro steps into the ring to stare down Kurt Angle. Angle has a smile on his face as his two remaining team members step into the ring behind him. He glances at each of them, a somewhat confused look, but after Danielson nods at Nitro, he smiles and turns his attention back to their opponents. As soon as Angle refocuses on Nitro, Danielson wraps his arms around him and nails a German Suplex out of nowhere. Hero then picks up Angle and nails a Hero's Welcome. Nitro then slides over and gets the quick three count.

Kurt Angle eliminated at 34:59

Doink: What the hell?!? What is going on here?

Bryan Danielson lays down on his back as Nitro covers him for the three count.

Bryan Danielson eliminated at 35:15

Doink: What the hell are these ungrateful little brats doing?!? Goddamn it!

Chris Hero quickly follows suit and lays down for Nitro to get the 3 count.

Chris Hero eliminated at 35:27

Bryan Danielson grabs a microphone, as we see the eliminated members of the Anti-PTL team returning to the ring.

Danielson: Did anybody actually believe that I would stand here and let this mockery of a sport that I love be the holder of my contract? Did you really think I'd sell my soul to PTL, the absolute worst example of "sports entertainment" to ever exist? Well, then you were all just as stupid as Kurt Angle and Bob Backlund! Chris Hero, Bryan Danielson, Jack Evans, Matt Sydal, Johnny Nitro, Joey Mercury...We are the future of professional wrestling. We don't belong in this three ring circus.

Shawn Michaels comes over and embraces his trainee, Danielson. He takes the microphone from him.

Michaels: You're right, Bryan. But you forgot something. As of this moment, PTL no longer exists.

Michaels looks directly at the camera that has climbed into the ring to get better footage.

Michaels: And this is PTL signing off!

Michaels superkicks the TV and the screen goes to static.

:Paul E. Dangerously is backstage with The Heart Throbs.:

Dangerously: Antonio, Romeo, it's time to get serious. Master and Commander is only eight days away. Last month you lost your tag team straps to The Outsiders, and it's been a month too long without them; so, it's time to get those belts back. Everyone says you beat the Outsiders on a fluke. They say you won the belts because The Outsiders wrestled twice already before they took on you for the tag team titles; but no, you were just that damn good. So, let's prove to everyone that The Heart Throbs is not an underdog team. We are going to prove to everyone that you are the greatest tag team in the Mid-Atlantic today. You may have losed the tag team titles, but that was before you signed me on as your manager. Week-after-week I've been watching The Outsiders tell you exactly when to strike. The Outsiders haven't expected you once, even with me at ringside.

Dangerously: So, as for you Hall and Nash, I've been making some calls on my cell phone! I've been checking around! Everyone saw ho you won those belts at Master of the Mid-Atlantic! We saw your cheating ways and we're going to take those belts back. Outsiders, watch your backs. Come Master and Commander, those belts will be back on The Heart Throbs!

Cage: Yes Cena, that is a right. You're going to lose every night. Cena, you're gonna make me the most fella! I have an Unprettier about to follow.

:Commissioner Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is in the ring.:

Heenan: Good evening hicks and humanoids. Tonight I have a special announcement to make, so let me get straight to the point. Master and Commander is coming up tomorrow night, and I'm about to announce the full card, so you all better shut up while I read it! You all will be given the gift of a Submission match between Jay Lethal and Dan Severn. I've decided to add 2 Live Kewl vs. The Backseat in a one-on-one match. Val Venis and Steven Richards for the Virginia State title. The Mid-Atlantic Tag Team champions The Outsiders will face the former champions, The Heart Throbs, in a rematch for the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team titles. Hulkamania will come to stop when he wrestles the "Big Red Machine" Kane! John Cena and Chrisian Cage will face one-on-one in a throw-down match, as offered by Cage himself. Randy Orton and Sting will take it up a notch and face each other in a NO DQ match. With the main event, NWA: Mid-Atlantic champion "God's Gift to Wrestling" Christopher Daniels will face the Master of the Mid-Atlantic, "Phenomenal" AJ Styles! I've also decided to add something special to the card. Along with destroying Hulkamania, I want the Ultimate Warrior down, too!

Heenan: So, that is why I am offering $50,000 and an NWA: Mid-Atlantic title shot to anyhow who is willing and able to destroy the Ultimate Fool. Ultimate Warrior, I haven't forgotten the times where you'd run at my full-steam and clothesline me on the back on my injured neck! I haven't forgotten those times, and now I have control over your contract as Commissioner on the Mid-Atlantic. I just think a bounty will sweeten the deal. Anyone can take-up on this offer, so let's see who does at Master of the Mid-Atlantic!

Richards and Jay Lethal def. Val Venis and Dan Severn at 7:41 when Venis went to go for the Money Shot on Lethal, but was knocked off the turnbuckle when Richards Irish whipped Severn into the ropes. With Venis down, Richards hit the Stevie T on Severn and got the pin.

Jim Ross: By god, Brain! Heart Throbs just challenged Outsiders to a ladder match! They just beat-down Outsiders, and then they ambush them with ladders! What do you plan to do about this? You're the Commissioner of the Mid-Atlantic; you've already listed the match for tomorrow night at Master of the Mid-Atlantic!

Heenan: That, I have, JR. But if the former champions are already getting a rematch because of the rematch clause, they can challenge the champ to any kind of match they want. And besides, you think I'm going to say "no" to a tag team ladder match at a supershow? No, of course not! Heart Throbs! I will grant your request. You can have the Outsiders in a Ladder match for your rematch for the NWA: Mid-Atlantic Tag Team titles.

Christopher Daniels is backstage in his locker room.

Daniels: Hey, AJ. I've special requested this interview time this week to tell you something. But then again, as the Mid-Atlantic champ, I can request and do anything I want. That's the privilege I get for being Mid-Atlantic's champion. If you ever became champ, you'd get that privilege too, but you'll never get that privilege. You see AJ, once again I can to prove to everyone why I am smarter than you. You see AJ, when you signed that contract for Master and Commander, you know, that night you sent me through that table with your Styles Clash, yeah, that night. Anyhow, when you signed that contract, you got so anxious to blindside and ambush me, you never read that contract fully. You see, that contract you signed for Master and Commander, it was for a title match; oh yes, it was. But, what you didn't realize so that you signed for a one-on-one Last Man Standing match. AJ, you got one shot and one shot only. I want to make sure we did it right. AJ - I'll see you tomorrow at Master and Commander. You might be the Master, but I'm still the Commander of the Mid-Atlantic.

John Cena def. Randy Orton via Disqualification at 16:51. The match ended when Orton was set-up in the F-U when Christian Cage rushed the ring and pushed Cena in the Unprettier. Cage and Orton double-team Cena, until Sting comes to Cena's rescue, putting Orton and Cage in the Stinger Drop.

Chair Swinging Freaks have midgets impersonate the Brits
Batista vs. Sabu

Styles updates everyone on the status of CM Punk, and that Piper will allow Punk to have one minute of interview time next week to explain himself. He also lets us know that tonight we'll see Terry Funk vs. William Regal, the Naturals in action and a main event of Batista vs. Sabu

Paul London vs. Jimmy Jacobs
Jacobs comes out wearing a t-shirt that reads "Punk was FRAMED!!!" Cornette is coming out with Paul London. London and Jacobs go at it for a bit, and Jacobs tries several times to cheat. Each time, though, London is a step ahead. Jacobs gets frustrated and rolls outside, where Jim E Cornette chases him around the ring with the infamous Tennis Racket. Cornette is yelling something along the lines of "At least be original when you cheat, you little shit!" London catches a running Jacobs with a Missile Dropkick off the turnbuckle. He rolls Jacobs inside, and sets him up for the 450 Splash for the win.
WINNER: Paul London (72/54/91)

Afterwards, Jim E. Cornette promises that his "New Breed" will take over NWA Midwest.

I've got your back...
Josh Matthews interrupts Batista's workout backstage. He asks Batista what he is doing to prepare for the "Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal Maniac" tonight. Batista says he's preparing just as he would for any opponent. It's about this time that Benoit wanders in. He tells Batista that he's got Batista's back tonight. Batista asks why. Benoit replies that Sabu is a handful, and is tough even for someone who knows what he's capable of. Batista takes offense. Benoit says there's no offense, he just knows that Sabu and Fonzie can be quite the handful. Benoit walks off. Batista shakes his head. (71)

Terry Funk vs. William Regal
We see Funk decking Kennedy last week, and slapping on the Spinning Toe Hold. Regal is wanting to anger Funk. Says to him 'I thought you retired?' Funk says "Shut up and wrestle." The two go back and forth. Regal spends some time outside to gather himself, but Funk won't let him. Regal does a good job of protecting his feet. Smart move, but Funk has a lot more than the Spinning Toe Hold in his arsenal. Like the awesome DDT he hits. A la Tommy Dreamer. And the "Funkersault" he hits to finish off the match.
WINNER: Terry Funk (79/78/80)

After the match, Kennedy comes out complaining that this is proof that Funk wasn't going to retire last week. Kennedy steps in the ring and Funk doesn't even wait to deck him. Kennedy rolls out of the ring and looks stunned. A "Funk him up Terry!" chant starts.

PIPER'S PIT!!!
Piper is out with his Piper's Pit set. He takes a moment to explain the storyline the character is involved in. It's Jerry Lynn. Piper apologizes to Lynn, and accepts responsibility for letting things get so out of hand. Lynn tells Piper that he doesn't blame him. It's all Homicide. Homicide cost him his son. There's no excuse for that. Lynn says that he always seperates his personal life from his business life. He believes that any self-respecting wrestler does so to protect what's close to him. Piper asks Lynn why he doesn't return the favor, some quid pro quo. Lynn replies by saying that this isn't about the families of the wrestlers, it's about respect in the ring. Lynn would never disrespect Homicide by attacking Homicide's family. "It's unprofessional."
It's about this time that Homicide comes out. He's pissed. He says that Lynn is dissing him by coming out and talking about him behind his back. Homicide tells Lynn that if he has anything to say, he can say it to Homicide's face. Lynn says that he's not afraid of Homicide, and that if Homicide wanted to hear it again, Lynn will say it again. Piper tells Homicide to back off. Homicide tells Piper to shut up. Homicide gets in Lynn's face. Piper wanders off as Lynn & Homicide start to shove each other. Homicide gets ready to throw a punch when Piper clocks him with a chair. Piper unfolds the chair and sits it down on Homicide. Piper tells Lynn to take a free shot. Lynn says he'd rather have a match with Homicide at Hotter than Hell. Piper looks at Homicide, who's squirming, and then to Lynn. He agrees. It will be Lynn vs. Homicide with the X Division belt on the line. (74)


The Naturals vs. Blackout
Cornette comes out with the Naturals, touting his "New Breed." They take on Blackout, and it's a good competitive match that ends with a Natural Disaster. Cornette is applauding the teams work when the Nick Dinsmore and Rob Conway run in and attack the Naturals, laying them out. Conway blows snot rockets on both workers. We may have a feud in the works.
WINNERS: The Naturals (67/51/83)


Counterfeit

Raven has some prerecorded comments concerning CM Punk's predicament. He says that Punk looked nervous during the match last week, and maybe it's because his hypocrisy has been revealed. It's no surprise to Raven that Punk isn't everything that he's presented himself to be. Because Punk presented himself as Raven's friend at one time, and that was a lie too. It's about time that the world found out the truth. Now, maybe the world will see Punk for what he really is: A Counterfeit. (86)

Eye for an eye, Belt for a chair
The British Invasion are getting ready to do an interview when the Chair Swinging Freaks attack backstage. The Brits are knocked to the floor, and the Freaks steal their belts and run. Balls grabs the cameraman and says "We're even now!" (69)


Batista vs. Sabu
A rough match, honestly. Sabu is all over the place. Batista can't hardly keep up, as he's used to the standard opponent. Sabu is having his way. Benoit brings a chair out, and sets it down so he can watch from the entranceway. Fonzie is taunting Benoit. Sabu looks to have the better of Batista until Batista catches him and hits him with a spinebuster. It's about this time that Abyss and Jim Mitchell come out to find Benoit in front of them. Benoit doesn't even notice Abyss until Abyss is choking him with the chain at Mitchell's behest. Abyss chokes Benoit and throws him to the side. Benoit is layed out. Abyss makes his way to the ring. Sabu is in trouble as Batista nails him with the Batista Bomb. But before Batista can drop down for the pin, Abyss has him up in the Shock Treatment. The ref calls for the bell.
WINNER BY DQ:Batista (80/83/74)
Benoit angrily makes his way to the ring. Abyss is posing over Batista when Benoit locks Abyss in and nails a german suplex. Mitchell is stunned. The ref is holding the NWA Midwestern Title in his hands, and Benoit grabs it, then holds it up in front of him. He nods as he looks over Batista, Abyss, and Sabu laying around him. He drops the belt on Batista and says "I'm coming for that soon."
Overall: 75

The closing of PTL was well done. It will be interesting to see if any of the participants who were involved in the shut down have a change of heart if they show up in NEW...

FORESHADOW!
