("Nobody" by Skindred plays as the camera passes over the crowd filing in.)
Tara: We are here in downtown Philidelphia Pennsylvania for the night where the rules of RCW are thrown out, and the action heads for the extreme. Ladies and Gentleman in less than a half hour, we will be live on Pay Per View for RCW Bloodbath! I'm Tara Fisher.
Joel: And I am the man who had a night of extreme as soon as you left Mom's house. Finally, the quintesential studmuffin HAS COME BACK...home. I am Joel "I've been there for your lows, and I've been there for your highs. Tonight I'll be there to spread your thighs" Gertner.
Tara: I don't know how you come up with those.
Joel: Pure experience.
Tara: We have five big matches, and two titles on the line, and for every one there will be no holds barred. That's right, no disqualifications tonight, anything goes.
Joel: And what better place than in the hardcore wrestling capitol of America.
(Videos are shown of the buildups to tonight's matches to the tune of "Nobody")
(In the ring, Concession Boy III is warming up. "The Touch" hits and Jimmy Jacobs makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: We have a warm up match about to start, the crowd is still filing in, already about to set a RCW attendance record.
Joel: Look at the line up we have for tonight, we've got the entire Heel Stable in action, all at once. Austin Lee, Joey Sprinklers, and the Pyro Twins: Jay Crowe and Dusty Schneble, all together will take on perhaps the most screwed up four man team ever to appear since a mid-90s Survivor Series. The Eccentrics, Huh and Cheesecake, will team up with the superheroic Aki Mann and his swinger Sidekick...I mean sidekick Swinger.
Tara: Chris Stylez and Johnny Kashmere take on the team of Kevin Stone and Cynric. Can Cynric change his recent bad luck?
Joel: Ronin Fox is looking to even the score as he takes on the man who surprised us all on Foundation, Christopher Daniels.
Tara: The Ladies RCW Championship was supposed to be defended under triple threat rules. Naomi Leach was scheduled to defend against both Lisa Letty and Gail Kim, however Gail Kim will be unable to compete due to the actions of Naomi and her Shadow on Foundation. Jon Z has made no official announcement over how tonights match will be changed.
Joel: And of course, the cage will be constructed. Chad Collyer last month came within an eyelash of winning the RCW title, but had to settle for a countout victory. Well with a non-title victory over Alan Mayse on September 7, Chad obtained the right to book his own title match right here tonight, choosing to challenge Alan to a steel cage match right here at Bloodbath.
(In the ring, Concession Boy III hits the Dr. Bob Beer Bomb and covers Jimmy Jacobs for the pin.)
Winner: Concession Boy III
Tara: It's almost time to get started, and I can hardly stand to wait any longer. If you haven't ordered yet, get to it, because for those of you at home Bloodbath is exclusively on Pay Per View.
Joel: Unless you're in the Philidelphia area, in which case you have about a minute and a half to get here.
Tara: We're about to go off the air here, next you see us, if you see us, it will be time for Bloodbath. Order now!
(A "Nobody" video plays, again highlighting the buildup to tonight's matches.)
("Nobody" continues to play, the camera sweeps over the crowd, over the ring, and over the area next to the entry curtain where the pieces of the steel cage are sitting, waiting to be set up.)
Tara: Nobody may get out alive when Alan Mayse and Chad Collyer meet in a steel cage, and that's not all we're going to see on the night without rules. Welcome to Bloodbath.
("Come Out Swinging" hits and Lisa Letty makes her way to the ring.)
Joel: Five big matches, and were starting out with the lovely ladies of RCW. Lisa Letty has been fighting for her chance at the Ladies RCW Championship for some time now. Poor girl, just call on me and I'll give her something she could really brag about.
Tara: Or compulsively shower every ten minutes for the rest of her life. This was scheduled eleven days ago on Foundation as a Triple Threat match for the Ladies RCW Championship between the defending Naomi Leach, Lisa Letty, and the visiting Gail Kim, however the actions of Naomi Leach and her Shadow just four days ago have changed those plans.
(Footage from 9/14/04 Foundation is shown, of Naomi and Shadow attacking Lisa and Gail.)
Joel: We've still billed this as a Triple Threat match, though I expect it will actually be a singles match. Sometimes the whole "card subject to change" thing can be a real bitch.
("Fall Behind Me" hits and Naomi Leach makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: Here comes the Champion, though I wonder where Shadow is. For a match this important I'd expect her to be in line behind her friend.
Joel: Who knows what goes through Shadow's head. I don't even know what goes through her...
Tara: Please don't finish that sentence.
(Naomi stands outside the ring, Lisa daring her to come in. Naomi picks up a mic.)
Naomi: Well hello Lisa. I'll bet you're ready for a difficult match. Can't wait to mix it up one on one, right? Well since Gail Kim got sent packing right back to the WWE and thier medical staff, you almost got that wish...almost.
Tara: What does she mean by that?
Naomi: There's a reason Jon Z has continued to advertise a Triple Threat match. Gail's replacement has been secured...
("Stay In Shadow" hits and Shadow makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: What? Shadow is the third participant?
Joel: How did Naomi Leach pull that off?
Tara: I do not like Lisa's chances, this is nothing but a handicap match.
Naomi Leach vs. Shadow vs. Lisa Letty
Ladies RCW Championship Triple Threat Match
(Lisa backs up against the ropes as Naomi and Shadow advance on her. She darts forward and rolls down between them, getting back to her feet and running the ropes. As Shadow and Naomi turn around they're met with a double clothesline from Lisa. Lisa immediately slides under the bottom rope and looks under the ring. She pulls out a kendo stick.)
Tara: Well Lisa's wasting no time in taking advantage of the rules-free atmosphere.
Joel: When you're in the ring with a two on one situation, you take whatever advantage you can get your hands on.
(Lisa slides in the ring. Naomi backs off, but Shadow charges. Lisa swings with the stick, but Shadow ducks under and tries to back suplex Lisa. Lisa struggles free in midair and lands on her feet behind Shadow, hitting a kendo stick shot to the back. Shadow tries to turn and fight, but is knocked down with a shot to the head. She rolls out of the ring.
(Naomi runs behind Lisa and takes her down with a bulldog. She pulls the kendo out of Lisa hand and stands up. As Lisa gets up to a knee, Naomi attacks with the kendo, striking Lisa's back. Shadow gets back in the ring. Her mask seems to be damp.)
Tara: I think Shadow is bleeding already, it's hard to tell under that mask.
Joel: If that's the case, the blood's come earlier than I thought. After that shot to the head though, I can't say it surprises me.
(Shadow picks up Lisa and holds her steady with a full nelson as Naomi lines up a solid strike with the kendo to the head. She drops the kendo and tells Shadow to let go. Naomi catches Lisa and hits a brainbuster. She covers for the pin, but stands up at two. The ref argues with her, but Naomi just shoves her away. She steps back and nods to Shadow. Shadow picks up Lisa and shoves her chest first into the corner. She hits three shoulder blocks to the small of the back before pulling her back for a reverse vertical suplex. Shadow stands and climbs to the top rope. Lisa stands and Shadow hits a missile dropkick. She sits on Lisa's back and pulls her head into a dragon sleeper. She tries to turn to the side to get a bodyscisors applied, but Lisa is able to reach the ropes. Shadow keeps the hold on, as the ref cannot disqualify her tonight.)
Tara: Shadow normally would be in danger of losing the match due to this, but the ref can't make a count to break the hold on Bloodbath. She can, however, refuse to count a submission in this case.
Joel: The submission might not count right away, but if it gets to that point, what kind of fight would Lisa be able to put up.
(Shadow lets go of the hold and stands quickly to stomp Lisa in the back. She pulls Lisa to her feet and shoves her back into the corner. Lisa bounces back out with a clothesline. Naomi charges, but Lisa ducks under a right hand and backs into the ropes, springing forward to hit a flying headscissors. Shadow gets to her feet, but is immediately caught with a hurricanrana. Lisa applies a bow and arrow to Shadow. She sees Naomi get up, and releases the hold quickly, rolling to her feet and charging with a shoulderblock that sends Naomi into the corner. Lisa gets up next to Naomi to hit a bulldog off the second rope. She covers for two, but Shadow breaks up the pin with a double axhandle to the back. Shadow pulls Lisa up, facing her back. She hits the Shadowfall, and Lisa lays still. Naomi stands up and walks over behind Shadow. She pats Shadow on the shoulder and gently motions for her to get out of the way. Shadow doesn't move away, but instead turns quickly and hits the Interceptor.)
Tara: What the? The Interceptor? She hasn't used that move since she was...
Joel: Forget the move, she just used it on Naomi Leach!
(Naomi drops to one knee, Shadow pulls her back up and hits the Shadowfall, covering for the three count.)
Winner: Shadow by pin.
Tara: I can't believe what I've seen here. Shadow has just taken the Ladies RCW Championship from Naomi Leach. Shadow, who's gone as far as to be called Naomi's Shadow has betrayed the now former Champion!
Joel: They worked as a unit the entire match, until Lisa Letty was completely destroyed, and then Shadow took hold of a perfect opportunity.
(Shadow is in the ring still, she takes off her mask, her face bloody, but easliy recognizable as Kai Kitta. She picks up a microphone.)
Shadow: Naomi, it took nine months since our first title match, but it was well worth the wait. Now you see what happens when you fail to look behind. Now you know the pain when a Shadow falls on you.
(She holds up the Ladies RCW Championship Belt before leaving the ring. Naomi stirs and tries to get up in the corner, looking around the ring. Slowly she seems to realize what happened. She looks at Lisa, who is still knocked out in the middle of the ring. Naomi screams and runs to Lisa, pulling her into the Leach Hold.)
Tara: Now that's just not right, Lisa's already taken a beating here tonight. This match is already over.
(A herd of refs come out to break up the hold and take Naomi to the back, two staying behind to help Lisa.)
Joel: What a match.
Tara: We're off to a interesting start, we've had one title match already and one title change. I wonder if that's a bad omen for Alan Mayse as he steps into a steel cage for the first time.
Joel: Yes, this will be the first cage match of RCW, there were two in the days of FPPVW.
("One Step Closer" hits and Chris Stylez and Johnny Kashmere make thier way to the ring.)
Tara: Before we get there though, we've got some hot tag team action.
Joel: Just like my hotel room last night.
("Smoke on the Water" hits and Kevin Stone and Cynric make thier way to the ring.)
Tara: This is a strong team, though Cynric has had a string of bad luck as of late concerning a certain wrestling preacher.
Kevin Stone and Cynric vs. Johnny Kashmere and Chris Stylez
(Kevin starts with Johnny. Kevin locks up and tries to pull Johhny into an bodyslam. Johnny slips out of Kevin's grasp and lands next to him. Johnny whips Kevin to the ropes and ducks under for the rebound, hitting a yakuza kick as Kevin bounces back the second time. He hits the ropes as Kevin stands up and hits a running bulldog. He goes to the top rope quickly and goes for a twisting senton splash, but Kevin rolls out of the way. Johnny rolls on impact and tags in Chris. Before Kevin gets all the way to his feet, Chris pulls him into a double underhook backbreaker. He covers for a two count. Kevin kicks out and Chris pulls him up to his feet. Chris sets Kevin up for a DDT, but Kevin shoves him back into the corner and connects with a series of right hands. Chris stumbles away from the corner as Kevin backs up and hits the spear. Kevin tags in Cynric. Cynric stands and waits for Chris to stands up and connects with a series of kicks. As Chris tries to block, Cynric switches focus to elbow strikes and finally knocks Chris down with a rolling koppo kick. He applies a sharpshooter. Chris struggles and reaches the ropes, but Cynric doesn't let go. Johnny gets in the ring and hits a running bulldog on Cynric to break the hold. Kevin gets in the ring and knocks Johnny to the outside with a clothesline. Kevin goes outside after him and they brawl on the outside, eventually spilling into the crowd. The camera loses sight of them as Cynric gets to his feet. Chris trips him from behind and applies a one arm camel clutch. Cynric fights the hold and refuses to tap. Chris tries to reposition himself, but Cynric takes advantage, grabing hold of Chris's leg and triping him forward, applying an ankle lock and transitioning to a side headlock. He uses the headlock to pulls Chris up to his feet and lets go as he hits the ropes and knocks Chris down with a spinning heel kick.)
(In the crowd, Kevin and Johnny are still brawling. Johnny picks up a chair and drives it into Kevin's stomach. This sets Kevin up for a shot to the head that leaves him knocked down motionless in the crowd as Johnny makes his way back to the ring.)
(Cynric climbs the ropes to go for an elbow smash, but Johnny gets behind him and pushes him off the turnbuckles to the outside. He lands hard on the guardrail. Johnny and Chris both go to the outside and confer. Chris picks Cynric up and hits a swinging neckbreaker. He holds Cynric down as Johnny attacks with stomps. Chris lets go and Johnny applies the Comic Atomic on the outside. The ref tells him a fall on the outside won't count, but Johnny keeps the hold applied. Cynric starts tapping out.)
(Kevin finally makes it back to ringside, crawling over the guardrail. Chris turns to him and pulls him up, throwing him into the ring. He looks at Johnny, who has Cynric subdued, and he walks to the timekeepers table. He tosses everything on the table to the floor and picks up the table.)
Tara: I don't like the looks of this.
Joel: I don't know, I'm pretty much used to it.
(Chris slides the table in and goes in to set it up near the middle of the ring. He turns to Kevin, but Kevin has made it to his feet. He kicks the back of Chris's knee and pulls him into position for a powerbomb through the table. Chris blocks. Kevin lets go and pummels Chris's back. Johnny slides into the ring and spins Kevin around, hitting the Backseat Driver. He almost goes for the cover, but looks at the table. He yells for Chris to help him, and both Chris and Johnny pulls Kevin up to lay him on the table. Chris goes up to the top rope and signals for the 450 splash. Cynric meanwhile slides into the ring and claps his hands. Johnny looks over and Cynric charges, hitting the Lift-Off. Chris hops down off the ropes and attacks Cynric with right hands to the back and back of the head. Kevin slides off the table onto his feet and claps his hands twice. Cynric grabs Chris and whips him into the ropes. He lifts him up on the rebound and lets him fly over the table, letting go before Kevin catches him with the Stonecutter through the table. Kevin curls up, grabbing his neck while Cynric covers for the three count.)
Winners: Cynric and Kevin Stone
Tara: Wow, Cynric and Kevin Stone have made a definate statement here.
Joel: A most impressive win, lets hope this means Cynric is putting his bad luck behind him.
(Backstage, Zac Hensley is standing by as Ronin Fox walks up.)
Zac: Thanks for joining us, Fox. You've got a rematch scheduled tonight against Christopher Daniels. Over a week ago he made his debut on RCW Foundation with a win over you. What do you have to say before your match?
Fox: What do I have to say before my match?...Why do we do that? Do you know? Why do wrestlers have to repeat questions like that. Anyway, first off I have to say congratulations to my bro. I knew you had this one, you did great out there. When it comes to my match, I don't make excuses for last time. I'm not going to say I was off my game, or I wasn't prepared. I stepped into the ring, called out a challenge, and I got beat. That was before. What happens today? Who knows, but this time will have one thing in common with last time. In the end I will make no excuses. Win or lose, I will give my all like every night I'm in that ring. I know most people expect a wrestler to guaruntee victory in this situation, but all I guaruntee is...ah, the hell with it, I GUARUNTEE VICTORY! Christopher Daniels, the angel is about to fall again.
(He walks off camera.)
(Huh is eating donuts in his locker room. Cheesecake walks in.)
Cheesecake: Ooh, are they cream filled? Tho'th are my favorites.
Huh: Huh? What are you talking about? This is no time for donuts, our match is next!
(He gets up and walks to the door.)
Cheesecake: But you were the one who...okay...
(Back in the arena, "Seek and Destroy" hits and the Heel Stable makes thier way to the ring.)
Tara: This match came about at the request of Aki Mann. He claims that the Heel Stable are minions of the Great Evil.
Joel: Well, that makes more sense than Aki's usual ramblings.
Tara: I don't think Austin Lee is particularly thrilled to be booked in this match. He's been saying backstage...well perhaps we'll hear it right now.
(Austin picks up a microphone in the ring.)
Austin: If I could just figure out what goes on in Jon Z's head, booking the most dominant force in RCW against a pair of comedy teams. I should be back in the title hunt, not lowering myself to throw around some would be superheros an idiot and his "special friend." Jon, I hope your watching. After we destroy this team of misfits, perhaps you'll see fit to book us against some real opponents.
("Pajamarama" hits and The Eccentrics make thier way to the ring. Huh is dancing, Cheesecake is skipping, Pinky walks behind them focussed on a clipboard. Aki Mann makes his way to the ring to the same music, posing proudly. Swinger walks out rolling his eyes.)
The Heel Stable vs. The Eccentrics and Swinging Justice
8 man tag elimination match
(Dusty starts for the Heel Stable, The Eccentrics and Swinging Justice continue to discuss who starts. Swinger pushes the other three aside and steps forward. Aki taps him on the shoulder and seems to be lecturing him. As he does, Dusty approaches and grabs Swinger, whipping him into a neutral corner. He hits a hard clothesline and pulls Swinger into a teardrop suplex. He kneels down and hits a series of right hands. Swinger blocks and rolls away. He gets up to a knee as Dusty stands and moves toward him. Swinger comes up with a shoulder block and whips Dusty to the rope. He hits a high dropkick and runs the ropes. He goes for a sommersault legdrop, but Dusty ducks out of the way. He tags in Jay. Jay charges in and hits a spinning heel kick. Swinger rolls backward into his corner, Aki Mann tags himself in. Aki and Jay stare eachother down, Aki offers a handshake. Jay shrugs and accepts it, pulling Aki into a judo arm throw and locking on a triangle hold. Aki gets a foot on the ropes.

He hits the Screw Driver and covers. Jay runs in to try and break the pin, but Huh jumps in the ring and splashes him in the corner as Cheesecake gets the pin. Dusty rolls to the outside.)
(Huh sets Jay up on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle while setting Jay up for an Electric Chair suplex. As he hits it, Cheesecake catches Jay with a neckbreaker. Huh slides out of the ring and Cheesecake covers for two. The ref orders Huh out of the ring. Cheesecake tries to pull Jay to his feet, but gets hit with a low blow. Jay tags in Joey Sprinklers. Joey hits a running neckbreaker on Cheesecake and applies a front facelock. Cheesecake struggles to his knees and hits some right hands to the midsection to break loose. He hits a spinebuster and tags in Swinger. Swinger hits a running knee lift as Joey tries to stand.

Austin hits three kicks to the midsection and pulls Swinger into a vertical suplex. He applies the Crimson Cloverleaf. Swinger tries to crawl towards his corner. Huh reaches for the tag. Jay jumps in the ring and is held back by the ref as Swinger is able to make the tag. Huh jumps in and breaks the hold, he sets Austin up for a DDT, but the ref stops him, having not seen the tag. Huh is ordered out of the ring and Austin turns back to Swinger. Austin drags Swinger to the center of the ring and pulls him up to hit a powerbomb. Austin tags in Jay.

He pulls Jay to his feet and hits a Swing Thing, covering for the pin.)
Tara: Swinger is proving to be the MVP for his team tonight, eliminating two members of the Heel Stable. I don't think Austin was expecting to be left alone against this group, Huh and Swinger still active in this match.
Joel: The Heel Stable expected to sweep the "Eccentric Justice" team here tonight, they've put up an excellent fight though.
(Austin gets in the ring and stares down Swinger. They lock up and Austin hits a knee to the gut, whipping Swinger to the ropes. Swinger ducks under a clothesline and spins Austin around for the Swinger Stinger. He covers for two.

Austin picks up the chair and watches Swinger. Huh tries to get in the ring to stop Austin, but Austin turns and blasts Huh in the head with the chair. Huh falls back and rolls outside. Swinger crawls to the corner and reaches for the tag, but no one's there. He stands up and sees Huh just barely aware enough to try and climb back onto the apron. Swinger yells at Huh to hurry up, but Austin drops the chair and grabs Swinger, pulling him into a cradle piledriver onto the chair and covering for a pin.)
(Swinger lays still, the ref helps him out of the ring as Huh climbs back into the ring. Austin looks at Huh and cracks his knuckles. Austin and Huh lock up, and Huh belches in Austin's face.

Dusty and Jay slide in on the other side. Jay pulls the ref away as Dusty throws right hands with Swinger. Cheesecake and Aki Mann both join in, pulling the ref away from Jay and trying to push him out of the ring. Joey jumps in and onto the back of Cheesecake, trying to choke him out.)
Joel: Referee Erik Bower has completely lost control, I can't even see him in that sea of humanity.
(Jay is forced out of the ring, Aki hits a springboard plancha on him. Cheesecake backs Joey into the corner to get free of the chokehold and they spill to the outside. Dusty and Swinger keep brawling in one corner, the ref trying to break them apart. Dusty hits the Rope Burn on Swinger and pushes him to the outside, following him to continue the brawl. The fight surrounds the ring as the ref goes outside to try and regain some order. As he leaves the ring, someone jumps the barricade and slips into the ring.)
Tara: Who the hell?
Joel: Holy shit, it's Nykk!
(Austin lets go of the Crimson Cloverleaf and pulls Huh up before he sees Nykk. Nykk picks up the chair and measures Huh. He backs against the ropes and charges, swinging over Huh's head and dropping the chair. Austin looks confused until Nykk clocks him with a right hand, spins him backward and hits him with Howling Moon II onto the chair. He gets up quickly and pulls Huh to a corner, lifting him up onto the top rope. He chops Huh's leg hard, and Huh instinctively flips backward, hitting the Huhsault on Austin as Nykk leaves the ring. The ref turns toward the ring to see Huh cover Austin and slides in to make the three count.)
Winners: The Eccentrics and Swinging Justice
Survivor(s): Huh
Tara: I can't believe that, Nykk just won this match for Huh, humiliating his own former stable.
Joel: I suppose that means he's not here to join back up, but why is he here? Why attack Austin Lee?
Tara: I could never figure out Nykk while he was here before, what makes you think I'd know now?
(The brawl continues with no sign of letting up. Austin is out cold in the ring, Huh is sitting up in the corner with a puzzled expression on his face.)
(Backstage, Alan is standing by the pieces of the cage for the main event. Zac Hensley walks up to him.)
Zac: Alan, we are one match away from the main event, when you will step into a steel cage to defend your RCW title against the first man to defeat you in a title match in RCW.
Alan: All good points, Zac, except you leave out the part where he lets me get counted out instead of trying for a real win. Chad Collyer, a name that's gaining a reputation by the day in pro wrestling. A man who's been in the Ring of Honor and made a name for himself there. A man who came to RCW predicting a huge impact. What impact has he made so far? He's beaten the champion, me, twice. Impressive until you look a little deeper. A victory by countout, worthless. A victory due to interfierance, worthless. This challenge here tonight? Perhaps just as worthless. You've put in a lot of work here, Chad. What has it gotten you? This title belt is still resting on my shoulder, and it'll be no different at the end of...
(A segment of the cage suddenly tips over. Zac jumps out of the way, but Alan is knocked down and trapped under it. Chad Collyer walks onto the segment, adding more weight to pin Alan down.)
Chad: Worthless? Worthless, Alan? You'll see real worthlessness tomorrow, when you wake up and look into the bathroom mirror and see the former RCW Champion.
(Chad stomps on Alan's head through the cage mesh and walks away.)
Zac: We need some help, someone get out here.
(Back in the arena, the refs have broken up the brawl and are still in the process of removing the two teams from around the ring. When they are all through the curtain, "Head Like A Hole" hits and Christopher Daniels makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: What shape is Alan going to be in for his title defense tonight?
Joel: He's going in at a disadvantage now. Physically, and more importanly psycologically. In a match this intense, you've already had to accept the pain, but now Chad is in the head of the champion more than ever.
("Wherever I May Roam" hits and Ronin Fox makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: This is a rematch from Foundation, Christopher Daniels made his debut a memorable one on September 7 with a win over Ronin Fox, can he make it two for two here tonight?
Christopher Daniels vs. Ronin Fox
(Fox and Christopher stare each other down. Christopher slaps Fox. Fox shakes it off and continues to stare Christopher down. Christopher slaps Fox again and Fox lets out a laugh. Christopher swings with a wild right hand, but Fox ducks under and smacks Christopher upside the head. Christopher turns and tries to whip Fox, Fox reverses and whips Christopher into the corner. He runs and hits a dropkick into the corner and stands fast, pulling Christopher into a side headlock. Christopher backs into the ropes and tries to launch Fox off into the ropes, but Fox bears down and uses the momentum to force Christopher down with a bulldog. He tries to transition into an STF, but Chris rolls away and gets up to a knee. Fox stands but is hit with an STO, Chris turning Fox over to apply a hammerlock. Fox sits up, still in the hold and tries to send an elbow back to loosen it. Chris is able to keep the hold on and avoid Fox's elbow. Chris tightens the hold and forces Fox to stand. Chris lets go of Fox's arm and applys a Cobra Clutch, lifting him up to hit an overhead sitout slam.)
Tara: It's early in the match still, and Chris has already hit the "Fall From Grace."
(Chris covers for two, Fox rolls out of the ring. Fox paces outside to get his head together, but is caught offguard by a springboard plancha. Both men take thier time, fighting thier way to thier feet. Fox goes to lock up, but Chris steps to one side and whips Fox into the side of the ring, then whips him into the guardrail. Fox collapses against the guardrail and sinks until he's sitting against it on the floor. Chris charges with a knee to the head. He backs up and tries it again, but Fox falls over and Chris hits his right knee on the steel. He falls clutching at his knee and Fox crawls toward the ring. He reaches under it and pulls out a kendo stick.)
Tara: Who put those things under the ring, anyway?
Joel: You know I worked for ECW for years, and I never figured those little things out.
(Fox stands up and turns toward Chris, who's still on the floor, trying to stand. Fox walks up and swings the kendo up, but Chris kicks with his left leg and catches Fox in the midsection. Fox stumbles back, dropping the kendo. Chris gets to his feet and follows Fox, hitting a clothesline. Chris picks up the kendo and slides into the ring. Fox climbs up the side of the ring onto the apron, sliding under the bottom rope. Chris stops him with a kendo shot to the back. Fox tries to move away as he gets up to his knees and takes another shot to the back. He reaches the corner and uses the turnbuckles to climb to his feet. Chris swings again and on impact, Fox swings his arm and turns, trapping the kendo under his arm and hitting a knee to the midsection. Chris lets go of the kendo and backs up. Fox takes the kendo and measures Chris up, striking Chris three times in quick succession, one to either side and once to the head. Chris drops down to a knee and Fox strikes him in the back of the neck. Chris colapses.)
Joel: I think we just witnessed an execution.
(Fox tosses the kendo aside and makes the cover, but Chris kicks out at two. Fox pulls Chris up and backs up, going for the Tail End DDT. Chris ducks and rolls to the side. Fox turns and gets knocked down with a running leg lariat. Chris goes to the top rope and delivers the Best Moonsault Ever, covering for two. Chris goes to the outside and takes the ring bell. He slides back in as Fox is standing up. Chris uses the bell to Fox's leg, taking him back down. He measures a shot to the head that busts Fox open. He puts the bell down and pulls Fox up, setting him up for the Angel's Wings. Fox hooks a foot on the ropes and pulls himself away, sliding out of the ring again. Fox sidesteps a baseball slide from Chris and pulls him out. They brawl on the outside. Chris grabs Fox and goes to ram his head into the ringpost. Fox blocks and sends Chris into the post before pulling him into a Tiger Buster on the floor. Fox gets back in the ring, but is moving sluggishly after losing so much blood.)
(Chris rolls into the ring and stands up, he and Fox face off again. Chris throws a right hand, but Fox blocks and knocks Chris back with a knife edge chop. Chris fires back one of his own and Fox stumbles back. Chris hits a right hand to Fox's cut forehead and pushes him back into the corner. Chris puts Fox up on the top rope and climbs up to hit a superplex. Chris calls for Last Rites. Fox fights up to his feet, Chris pulls him into position. Fox turns in Chris's grip and tries to lift Chris for a northern lights suplex. Chris breaks free and whips Fox to the corner. Fox jumps to the top turnbuckle and leaps back to hit Fox Fire, covering for three.)
Winner: Ronin Fox by pin.
Tara: Fox Fire out of nowhere! I can't believe he had the energy for that.
(Fox rolls off Chris and to the ropes, leaning on them for support.)
Joel: An amazing match, and an amazing feat to pull out a move like that after losing so much blood. I can safely say, Christopher Daniels never saw that coming.
Tara: The score stands one to one between these two.
(Fox rolls out of the ring and walks to the back, celebrating with the crowd. Chris eventually gets up and leaves the ring. "Nobody" hits and several ring crew workers walk out with segments of steel mesh.)
Joel: Here we go, we're getting ready for the main event, these men here have gotten a lot of practice in the last week in setting up this cage, they're looking to get this up in record time.
(The ring crew works quickly on setting up the cage around the ring.)
Tara: Chad Collyer has been waiting impatiently for tonight. Last month he came close to winning the RCW Championship, even winning the title match, unfortunately for him it was a count out victory.
Joel: Well that won't be a problem here tonight, in fact the way Alan escaped that match with his title will be the only way for him to keep it tonight. You only win when you go over the top of the cage and reach the arena floor.
("Son of a Bitch" hits and Chad Collyer makes his way to the ring, sliding in through an open area in the cage.)
Tara: Chad earned this second opportunity due to his pinfall victory over Alan Mayse in a non-title match eleven days ago. That victory came courtesy of Austin Lee.
Joel: Well I don't believe Austin Lee is even here anymore. I think he stormed out of here after that incident involving Nykk.
Tara: Yeah, how dare Nykk interfiere in a match, especially one involving a stand up guy like Austin Lee.
Joel: Sarcasm?
Tara: Can you tell?
("Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse makes his way to the ring. He slides into the ring through the same open area, taking off the RCW Championship Belt and handing it to the ref outside the ring before the ring crew close off the last section of the cage.)
(Alan and Chad stare each other down. Mike Lyles stands next to the cage.)
Mike: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for your main event here at Bloodbath 2004. The following is a cage match for the RCW Championship...Introduc...
(Chad charges Alan and knocks him down with a clothesline before the introductions get underway, the bell rings.)
Alan Mayse vs. Chad Collyer
RCW Championship Cage Match
(Chad pulls Alan up and throws him headfirst into the cage. He whips Alan to the ropes across the ring and knocks him down with a back elbow. He attacks Alan's left leg with stomps and applies a leg lock. Alan kicks at Chad's head and breaks away. Both men get to thier feet, this time Alan whipping Chad to the corner and charging with a dropkick to the chest. He stands up quickly and rams Chad's head into the cage. He climbs to the second rope and hits a legdrop. Alan locks on the Maysochist.)
Tara: Interesting strategy in a match like this, you won't get any pinfall or submission victories here, but if Alan is able to do enough damage with this hold, Chad will be unable to climb the cage and escape.
(Alan releases the hold and goes to the cage wall, jumping up and trying to climb over the top. Chad crawls to the ropes and grabs Alan's foot, keeping him inside. Chad climbs up, using the turnbuckles, and gets up even with Alan. They trade punches, Alan starting to lose his balance, hanging off the side of the cage, about to fall back to the ring. Chad swings again, and Alan lets go of the cage, grabbing Chad's arm and pulling him down with an armdrag.)
(Alan scrambles to Chad and pulls him up, picking him up and hitting a backbreaker. He applies a rear chinlock. Chad drags himself to the ropes and forces his way to his feet. Alan lets go of Chad and tries to pick him up for a powerslam. Chad fights free and shoves Alan into the corner. He sets up for a german suplex and turns, throwing Alan into the cage neck first. He tries to climb the turnbuckles and the cage. Alan climbs the turnbuckles and grabs Chad by the hair as Chad tries to go over the top. Alan gets a good grip on Chad's head and pulls down, Chad's neck getting stretched over the top of the cage. Chad climbs back and he and Alan stand on the ropes near the corner, using the cage to balance. They trade punches and Chad connects with a solid kick to the ribs. Alan falls to the mat and Chad jumps, hitting a Firebird Splash. He locks on a side figure four leglock.)
(Chad lets go of the hold and rolls over to throw some hard punches to Alan's forehead. He stands and goes to the corner, pulling off a turnbuckle cover. He reaches inside the cover and pulls out a set of brass knuckles.)
Tara: Woah, those have been in there all night?
Joel: I didn't see anyone sneak them in there.
(Chad puts on the brass knuckles and waits for Alan to stand, charging with a right hand that busts Alan open. Chad goes to climb the cage, Alan crawls to the ropes and reaches up to hold Chad's ankle. Chad kicks him back and steadies himself on the top rope, jumping down for a fist drop, but Alan rolls to the side. Chad punches the mat and holds his hand in pain, dropping the brass knuckles. Alan pulls him up and whips him to the ropes. Chad ducks under a clothesline and picks Alan up for the Spinning DVD. Chad stumbles as he holds up Alan and Alan grabs the side of the cage as Chad starts to spin. Alan is able to pull out of Alan's grip and try to climb up the cage. He gets nearly to the top before Chad jumps up to grab his leg. Alan gets pulled down slowly until he turns and drops onto Chad, taking him down with a headscisors. Alan stands and waits for Chad to start to get up, pulling him into position and hitting a Tiger Bomb.)
Tara: That's it, this could be over right here. Alan has put opponent after opponent away with that very move.
Joel: But it won't do him any good unless he can get over the top of that cage.
(Alan starts to climb the turnbuckles, using the top one to jump for the top of the cage. He glances back and sees Chad moving again, trying to get to his feet. Alan sets his feet into links near the top of the cage, holding the rail on top to steady himself, then jumps back in a moonsault on Chad. Alan rolls off Chad slowly and gets back to his feet, leaning on the ropes. Chad climbs up to his feet using the ropes on the other side of the ring. They lock eyes, Chad charges forward. Alan runs forward and ducks down, hitting a drop toe hold. He finds the brass knuckles and puts them on. Chad turns and is hit with a hard right hand. He collapses against the ropes and Alan pushes him into the corner. His eyes go wild as he hits Chad again with the brass knuckles. He then pulls Chad forward and hits a second Tiger Bomb. He looks down at Chad for a few long moments, making sure he's not moving. Alan then takes a deep breath and turns away, climbing up the cage and over the top. He drops to the floor as Chad still lies near the corner, knocked out cold.)
Winner: Alan Mayse
Tara: What was that look in the eyes of Alan Mayse?
Joel: I don't know exactly, but it was the look of man who just did what it takes to hold on to championship gold. Alan Mayse has put his foot down and proven that he deserves to hold the RCW Title for another day.
Tara: Chad Collyer put up an excellent fight, but it was simply not to be here tonight. What will this next week bring to Alan Mayse? What will happen to the Heel Stable, and is Nykk off his suspension? What about our new Ladies RCW Champion? Be sure to tune in this Tuesday night for Foundation where we'll try and make some more sense out of the chaos that was Bloodbath. For now, we have to say good night, for Joel Gertner this is Tara Fisher. See you Tuesday.
