TAZZ: Our main event is an 8 man tag pitting the Bloodline and Vampiro against Edge, the Giant, Hannibal and Mideon. Mideon’s the only guy in that match who isn’t getting a rematch of sorts with a Wrestlemania opponent!
STYLES: In another Wrestlemania revenge opportunity, Psycho Sid challenges the man he has been feuding with for weeks, the man who became the first ever Legends Champion at Wrestlemania, Stone Cold Steve Austin!
TAZZ: And inside of a steel cage we have a Wrestlemania rematch between Brimstone and the Great Khali. This isn’t just for the United States title, if Khali wins he gets the Sinister Minister inside the cage for five minutes, but if Brimstone wins Khali will not challenge him again!
STYLES: That could very well be the end of the New Church…cut off the head and the rest of the serpent dies! We also have a mixed tag team match full of Wrestlemania revenge opportunities as Eve teams with Christian Cage to take on Angelina and Raven. Raven of course wants revenge on both Eve and Christian over the Money in the Bank ladder match. Eve wants revenge on Angelina for screwing her over at Wrestlemania, and Angelina wants revenge on Eve for kicking her head into the week after Wrestlemania!
TAZZ: Before we get going with the first edition of Air Bourne I just want to note that our colleague Mick Foley is not here tonight. Now let’s get started…
AIR BOURNE
' Pray for Plagues ' hits the PA, and instead of Evan Bourne appearing onto the stage, the arena is thrown into darkness, and a distorted voice blasts out of the speakers.
...HEAR MY VOICE. The new age is dawning through the young and the old...
The arena is suddenly lit up again, and once again Bournes music plays and he bundles out to the stage over-dramatically. Bourne is dressed in his ring attire and is sporting black and white diaganol face paint.
Styles: Well I guess its time for the WWE's newest show AIR BOURNE! Hosted by none other then the high-flying slightly psychotic Evan Bourne.
Tazz: I gotta say hot Styles, what is all this cooky business, what with the arena lights and that voice, Evan talking about this guy but he wont give any information! This creeps me out man!
Styles: Well we havent exactly seen the Evan Bourne we expected since he resurfaced here in the WWE. Just a few days ago, he laid out Todd Grisham for no reason, mocked vampiro and had a run in with the entire bloodline! Talk about impact making and he hasnt even wrestled yet!
The crowd are unaminous with a chrous of boos as Evan swaggers to the ring, pausing every few steps to let the fans know what he thinks of them.
Evan climbs the ringsteps and observes his set, which consists of carpet studded with stars, a HDTV Monitor, and two chairs.
Evan picks up his microphone.
Evan: Ladies and Gentlemen! Young and Old! I WELCOME you to the very first edition of AIR BOURNE! Hosted by me, Evan Bourne! Now, I just wanna start by saying this. Todd Grisham annoyed me. If I see his punk ass hanging around, ill do something even worse! I don=t care what you fans think. All that matters, is what HE thinks! Now there's all this talk flying around on the dirtsheets, theres a poll on WWE.com for christs sake! WHO IS HE? WHO IS HE? Well guess what I got news for ya! Im not telling.
Bourne laughs as the crowd start to chant ' EVAN SUCKS '
Evan: Now, Ladies and Gentlemen without further ado please welcome my guest! She hails from where the goth kids hang! She is a former WWE Womens Champion! I give you MORGANNA!
Morganna makes her way out to a mixed reaction.
Evan: Morganna, may I just start by saying, it is an honour, an HONOUR, to have you as the first guest of my show, now I know there was all that business about vamps, but hey! So Morganna, tell me, your apart of the Bloodline, what is it that keeps your group, so, so intact, so united?
Morganna pauses for a moment actually surprised by what to her seemed a fair and intelligent question.
Morganna: Wow, I have to say that’s actually a very good question. Evan, wrestling is full of tag teams and factions like the NWO, The Flock, The SOS, The New Church but where we differ from each is that friendship transcends the ring. It surpasses the world of wrestling and enters our personal life. It’s more than the just the drinking of blood it’s a bond of true friendship. Yes, look at me for the last month I terrorized not just Absinthe but every woman in my path, I acted deplorable and yet what was Ariel’s only concern? That I don’t destroy my relationship with Kane, or that Kane doesn’t destroy me. It is that kind of bond that keeps us united.
Evan: That leads me perfectly to my next question. At Wrestlemania you shook Absinthe’s hand after the match. Did that gesture imply that regret what you did to Absinthe?
Morganna: Yes, and no. If I could go back and time and change what I did I would, but as wiser people than myself told me, what’s done is done no need to dwell on the past. From her first day in the WWE I never gave her a fair shake. Though, I think its safe to say that her and I will never be best friends, it doesn’t mean I can’t respect her as a competitor. Our match at Wrestlemania was a classic and shaking her hand seemed to be the right thing to do. She beat me it happens but next time we fight, I will be the one walking out with a victory.
Evan: Oh come on it must have pissed you off that she used a Stone Cold Stunner, I mean Steve Austin practically did everything in his power to see that Absinthe had the advantage there. I even hear he was giving her a lot of pointers if you know what I mean.
Morganna: You know I really don’t like your tone, but I will say this at first I was more than annoyed with receiving a Stunner. I had Absinthe obsessively scouted, but she must of known that so she pulled that out at the last second. Besides I can’t be too upset I was trying to use a tombstone pile driver on her and it’s not like I have ever used that move before either.
Evan: I see, speaking of moves I have never seen, Hannibal was kind of enough to show me a few of your moves, and I tell ya I have never seen anything like that before and I hear rumours he intends to air those videos on TV.
Most fans do boo though some are chanting show it, show it.
Morganna: This interview is over Bourne and know that if Hannibal tries to air them and any person in the WWE allows any of those videos to be aired they will suffer greatly for it.
With that Morganna casts one dirty look at Bourne and leaves the ring.
Styles: Tazz, many know that one of my other roles in the WWE is heading up WWE.COM and I want to be on the record that I will not allow any of these so called sex videos to appear on the WWE Website.
Tazz: Hey, come on just put a must be 18 years or older stamp on it and its all good.
Styles: You really are a piece of work.
Commerical break
DJ GABRIEL VS MARCUS O’HARA
DJ Gabriel and Alicia Fox are already in the ring dancing when we return from commercial.
TAZZ: Someone please stop the music before I go up there and choke DJ out!
DJ and Alicia keep dancing and annoying Tazz as well as everyone else when the music switches to the Dropkick Murphy’s song “I’m Shipping Up to Boston”.
CHIMMEL: Coming down the aisle, from Dublin, Ireland, weighing 235 pounds, MARCUS O’HARA!
Marcus walks up to DJ and gestures that he wants to lock up. DJ tells him to wait until they finish this dance number. He and Alicia begin to dance to “I’m Shipping up to Boston.”
TAZZ: Just hit him!
Marcus clotheslines DJ!
TAZZ: YES!
Marcus rams DJ into a turnbuckle, hits a few right hands, Irish whips him and hits a big back body drop. DJ gets up only to be floored by a dropkick. As DJ gets up again, Marcus kicks him, hits a jawbreaker, then takes him down with a double leg pickup and hits a double legdrop to the lower abdomen!
STYLES: Ohh…words are not needed to describe what just happened there!
Marcus waits for DJ to get up and hits a Russian Leg sweep. 1…………..2……………shoulder up. Marcus hooks both arms but DJ drives him back into a corner. The ref orders a break and DJ slips in a knee to the gut and a few European uppercuts.
STYLES: It’s easy to overlook the athletic ability of DJ Gabriel when he spends most of his time dancing.
DJ winds up the arm and executes a shoulder throw, then legdrops the arm. He then applies an armbar.
TAZZ: Well not a bad idea to work on the arm. It’s hard to do most moves with a bad arm!
Marcus fights to his feet and bodyslams his way out of the armbar! DJ gets up only to receive a million dollar kneelift! 1………………2………………shoulder up. Marcus runs the ropes and hits a flying clothesline. DJ rolls to the outside. Marcus runs the ropes and dives over with a crossbody to the floor!
STYLES: What a leap! DJ Gabriel was just splattered into the floor!
Marcus rolls DJ into the ring, gets on the apron and hits a slingshot clothesline. He then pulls DJ up and gives him a front face suplex.
STYLES: That could be the beginning of the end.
Marcus goes to the top and tries for a flying elbow but DJ moves!
TAZZ: Marcus might have messed his arm up on that one!
DJ quickly applies a Fujiwara armbar. Marcus shouts in pain but pushes up and rolls it over into a pin….1………….2…………DJ lets go. As Marcus gets up he hits a drop toe hold into the middle rope, then gives Marcus a gutbuster. 1……………..2…………….kickout.
STYLES: For a while it looked like Marcus was well on his way to ending this match but now it’s DJ Gabriel who is in full control.
Gabriel hits a swinging neckbreaker and gets another two count. DJ goes to the second rope.
STYLES: He might be looking for that flying European uppercut of his.
DJ jumps for it but Marcus catches him with a boot to the gut in midair, then hooks both arms. He lifts DJ up, spins him and slams him face first to the mat!
TAZZ: He calls that the Adrenaline Rush!
Marcus rolls DJ over. 1………………2……………….3
HERE IS YOUR WINNER: MARCUS O’HARA!
Marcus gets up and poses on the middle rope to celebrate winning his return match.
STYLES: Marcus O’Hara looks good after missing a year of action due to an injury. What a way to make a return!
DJ is down and out.
TAZZ: Marcus could be a major force to be reckoned with.
HURRICANE HELMS VS ARMANDO ALEJANDRO ESTRADA
Styles: Well coming up is something we haven’t seen a lot of as of late. A match with two guys with no beef against the other.
Tazz: Joey, I think you are mistaken on this one. You see my sources in the back have told me that Mr. Estrada has been a very busy man, advocating that Hurricane Helms should be suspended for his interference in the Wrestlemania match up.
Styles: Your kidding me? How do you hear about all this Tazzs?
Styles: I have sources and they go even further, apparently Mr. Estrada has pulled off some kind of deal with Raw’s general Manager Y2J Chris Jericho that on Monday Night Raw the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga will take on Gregory Helms in a King of the Ring Qualifying match and if Umaga wins Estrada will advance in the King of the Ring.
Styles: OH COME ON, that’s total crap, why should he get a pass like that? What is Chris Jericho thinking?
Tazz: Easy Joey, but tonight look for Estrada to really take it to Helms to soften him up even more for Umaga and though Umaga does not needed anyone softened up, maybe the savage enjoys his meat tenderised. HA HA
Chimmel: Introducing first from Havana Cuba, weighing 230 pounds Armado Alejandro Estrada.
Estrada comes out to a chorus of boos and hisses from the fans.
Styles: I am still outraged that this guy is going have Umaga wrestle his qualifying match, but I will give the devil his due Estrada like Edge is more than just a manager. He grew up on the mean streets of Havana Cuba and is no push over.
Tazz: No doubt. Estrada is deceptively strong and quite well versed in mat wrestling. I think this going to be a hell of a match.
Estrada enters the ring and removes his vest and awaits for Helms.
Chimmel: And his opponent. From Smithfield North Carolina, weighing 215 pounds Hurricane Helms.
Helms gets a good pop from the fans as he high-fives many of them making his way to the ring.
Styles: And there goes the man who arguably cost the Rated R Super Star Edge the WWE title.
Tazz: Well in my books it should have been Helms who entered the Royal Rumble not Edge, but a cowardly attack right before the match allowed Edge to fool everyone and take his place. You ask me he got exactly what he deserved.
Styles: You won’t get any arguments from me on that one partner.
Tazz: Of course not I am always right. Now for Helms tonight I think he has to look to make this as quick as possible because with a king of the ring qualifying match against Umaga in one week you are going to want to be in your best shape.
DING DING
As the two approaches Armando slaps Helms in the face hard enough that Helms moves away holding his face.
Tazz: Ow talk about slapping the taste out of your mouth.
Styles: Tonight the roll of the school yard bully will be played by the well dressed man with the island tan.
Estrada laughs confidently. Helms comes running back and explodes with a flurry of blows to the body and face. Helms whips Estrada off the ropes and he hangs on and heads to the outside. Helms screams at him to get back in the ring.
Tazz: Maybe it’s time for a little regrouping here.
Estrada holds his back and begins to yell at a fan, when from behind Helms runs off the ropes and Estrada turns into a suicide dive.
Styles: Never turn your back on Gregory Helms this guy was trained by both Matt and Jeff Hardy so believe you me when I say this kid knows how to fly.
Helms tosses him back in the ring and tries to whip him off the ropes, but Estrada reverses it and catches him with a Samoan drop. Estrada laughs a bit, gets to his feet and boots Helms in the face, then picks up Helms and bashes his head off the turnbuckle. Estrada then whips Helms off the ropes and ducks low for a back body drop. Helms stops short and boots Estrada in the face. He runs off the ropes but Estrada takes him down hard with a clothesline. Estrada picks up Helms by the head, executes a vertical suplex and then stomps away at Helms.
Tazz: You See Estrada isn’t going for a pin there Joey. No doubt he’s hoping to draw out this match a bit to really bring on the pain for Helms.
Styles: But that could backfire too Tazz. Sure he wants Helms in rough shape come Monday Night Raw but he could have gone for a pin after that huge suplex.
Estrada picks up Helms by the neck and begins to use the middle rope to choke him. He backs off at a count of four and kicks Helms in the face. Estrada then backs Helms into a corner but Helms spins him around and begins to fires off a flurry of punches.
Styles: Helms is showing he still has a lot of fight in him.
Helms climbs on top and rains down some punches.

Helms goes to pick up Estrada, but Estrada gets a thumb to the eye. Helms holds his eye and Estrada lifts him over his shoulder for a reverse suplex but Helms lands on his feet and surprises Estrada with a flying neck breaker.
Tazz: WHAT A MOVE!
Styles: This crowd is electric now.
Estrada holds his head in pain and gets to his feetbut Helms explodes with a flying clothesline and follows it up with the SHINING WIZARD.

Tazz: He’s got him.
Foot on the ropes..
Styles: Oh was that ever close. If only Estrada had been in the middle of the ring.
TAZZ: Give the guy some credit, most of the time it’s lights out when Helms hits that Shining Wizard but Estrada had the presence of mind to get his foot on the rope!
Helms slams his fists in anger against the mat and climbs to the top rope. He measures Estrada and connects with a highflying cross body.

Styles: The Hurricane is really picking up the pace here folks.
Helms picks up Estrada and tries whip him into the corner but Estrada pulls back and hits a DDT.
Tazz: And it takes one move from Armando Estrada to change the complexion of this match up.
Estrada dusts off the cobwebs and as Helms is getting to his feet he boots him in the gut and slams him to the mat. Estrada then runs off the ropes, drops an elbow and goes for a pin.

Shoulder up.
Estrada shouts “ YOU STUPID PUNK” then locks in a rear chin lock and wrenches back on the neck.
Tazz: That’s a smart move to follow up on that DDT Styles.
As Helms is struggling to make it to his feet Estrada kicks him in the gut and brings him back down with a hip toss. This time Estrada locks in a CAMEL CLUTCH.
Styles: Shades of the Iron Sheik it appears that Estrada is really working hard to impact the neck and back of young Hurricane Helms.
Helms slowly pushes himself up and Estrada switches up to a sleeper, he tries for a reverse Suplex. He has him up in the air but Helms escapes, lands on his feet and goes for a roll up.

Estrada is furious and yells at the ref, then goes to the top rope. He leaps off with a an axe handle but Helms counters with drop kick right to the gut. Estrada hunches over in pain and shouts in agony.
Styles: THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE TAZZ
Tazz: For sure and Helms needed that move right away.
Helms slowly makes his way to his feet, ducks a fist from Estrada and lays in some big time punches that rock Armando into the corner. Helms then Monkey Flips Estrada out of the corner and climbs to the to second rope. He measures Esrtrada and hits a flying shoulder tackle as he gets up. Helms hooks the leg.

Kick out.
Helms then picks up Estrada and goes for the EYE OF THE HURRICANE but Estrada shoves Helms right into the referee and he stumbles to the outside.
Helms looks down at the ref and Estrada clocks him in the back with a forearm and hits a reverse suplex.
Estrada goes for a pin but the ref is still out cold.
TAZZ: But there is still no referee.
Estrada: Yells at the referee “ YOU STUPID IDIOT GET UP.”
But while his back is turned Helms gets up and spins Estrada around, boots him in the gut and hits the EYE OF THE HURRICANE!!!! Helms goes for a cover,
Styles: Both men could have won this match but again the referee is still out of it.
Just then from the stands comes EDGE he slides in the ring and SPEARS HELMS!
Styles: OH MY GOD NO!!!
Tazz: Pay back sucks Joey but he had it coming I guess.
Styles: Oh BS Tazz! Edge screwed Helms over at the Royal Rumble and cost him a chance to be in the main event of Wrestlemania! Don’t tell me you wouldn’t have retaliated if that had been done to you!
Edge tosses in the referee as Estrada goes for the cover.

Styles: NO COME ON NOT LIKE THIS

Chimmel: Here is your winner Armando Estrada!!!!!
Styles: What a travesty Tazz.
Tazz: I don’t know Helms arguably cost Edge the WWE Title, so a little reciprocity is ok in my books.
In the Ring Edge is trash talking Helms and paint brushes him a few times with slap after slap to the back of the head. He then picks him up and hits the EDGE-A CUTION. As Edge sees the Anvil running to the ring he leaves and heads out through the crowd.
Styles: What a cold and deliberate attack by Edge. Now the question remains what kind of shape is Helms going to be as he faces Umaga on Monday Night Raw?
Tazz: Not Good Joey. Not good at all.
RAVEN AND ANGELINA VS CHRISTIAN CAGE AND EVE TORRES
TONY CHIMMEL: The following contest is a mixed tag team match…Introducing first, from the Bowery, weighing 245 pounds, RAVEN
Raven walks out and does the Sign of the Crucifix on the stage, then walks to the ring.
STYLES: Raven has been extremely delusional as of late. Before Wrestlemania he assaulted Matt Striker because Striker tried to intervene when Raven interrupted his interview with Eve, leading Raven to conclude that Eve was involved with Striker! Then he became convinced that Christian was not only involved with Eve but was somehow behind their breakup after Christian ran in and got into a brawl that ended with Cage being shoved into Eve and receiving the Raven Effect.
TAZZ: Yeah Raven actually seems to think that because Christian re-befriended Gangrel around the same time that Eve was tired of his mind games, Christian somehow got the Bloodline to turn Eve against him!
Raven sits in the corner staring up the ramp.
CHIMMEL: His partner, ANGELINA WILLIAMS!
STYLES: Angelina is strange, conflicted, hard to figure out. She was more focused on her wife Dr. Williams than on her match at Wrestlemania and Eve had to carry the team, and she got sick of it!
TAZZ: No kidding she slapped Angelina across the face and after Angelina lost, Eve almost kicked her head off! But now we’ve learned that she has done some MMA training on the side which makes her more dangerous.
Angelina comes out in her skimpy Cleopatra outfit.
STYLES: Has she gone back to her old ways?
TAZZ: I don’t know but she looks great doing it. You know we always talked about her seduction prowess, think about this…she is forced to see a sex therapist, but the sex therapist falls in love with her and marries her, then ends up taking part in some debauchery with her at Wrestlemania. Tell me she ain’t seductive now Joey!
STYLES: Oh I won’t deny that she is, but her delusion in the past was that she seemed to think she could get any straight woman she wanted!
TAZZ: Anyway delusions and behaviour aside, Angelina is one of the most gifted female competitors we’ve ever seen. She is a great high flier who is well versed in Mexican wrestling techniques, she knows submissions, we’ve seen her throw some mean kicks, she invented her sexual ring style and now she added some MMA training to her repertoire to make herself even more dangerous.
STYLES: Some would say she probably picked up the MMA tactics easily since some of her own unique holds bear similarities to MMA and traditional wrestling submissions, with the exception of being sexually provocative.
Raven remains seated in the corner and doesn’t even react when Angelina approaches him.
TAZZ: How does he do that? I can’t figure it out.
CHIMMEL: And now their opponents, first from Denver Colorado, EVE!
Eve gets a good reaction from the fans and stops at ringside.
STYLES: Eve is known for being a smart girl and she proved it there by not getting too close to the ring alone.
CHIMMEL: And her partner, from Toronto, Ontario Canada, weighing 228 pounds, CHRISTIAN CAGE!
Cage walks out to a big pop and slaps his chest before pointing at his peeps. He and Eve get in the ring and the fight is on right away! Raven leaps up and begins trading punches with Christian while Angelina gets a single leg and takes Eve down! Angelina rains down punches but Eve is able to block most of them, then uses her legs to turn Angelina over onto her back. Now it’s Eve raining down blows while Angelina has her guard up. Raven gets the better of Cage with punches until Christian ducks under one swing, then kicks Raven in the gut and backs him up with a flurry of right hands. Eve tries to go for a keylock on Angelina but she rolls out of it, then gets behind Eve as she gets to her hands and knees and tries to get her in a sleeper.
STYLES: I’m not getting to say it…it’s not a cat fight it looks like an MMA fight.
Eve and Angelina struggle on the mat some more and end up in the ropes. The ref finally separates them and orders that the men are legal. Christian Irish whips Raven and lunges in only to get a knee to the chest. Raven knocks him down with a clothesline, then stomps away before ramming him into the turnbuckles and driving him to a seated position with kicks and punches. He chokes Christian with his boot, pulls him up, hits a few jabs, then Irish whips him. Raven charges in but Christian avoids it by going through the ropes to the apron. Raven hits the buckles and Christian hits an upside down kick over the ropes!
TAZZ: Whoa what a counter!
Raven goes down hard and gets up dazed. Christian comes back in with a crossbody! 1……………………2……………..Raven kicks out. As they get up Raven thumbs him in the eye, doubles him over with a kick and hits a kneelift. Christian tries to get right up but is thrown over the ropes to the floor!
STYLES: Oh my God! He hit right on his lower back!
Raven follows and hits a double Russian Leg Sweep against the barricade! He throws Christian in and drops a knee. 1…………….2……….kickout. Raven gives Cage a bulldog. 1…………………2……………kickout! He goes for another bulldog but Christian shoves him face first into a corner and hits a running enziguri! 1………………..2……………kickout!
TAZZ: What a match so far!
Eve asks for the tag so Cage obliges. Angelina steps in.
STYLES: This is a mixed tag not an intergender tag so the men only wrestle the men.
Eve fires off a kick at the leg. Angelina takes it and fires off one of her own to Eve’s side.
TAZZ: Angelina has always been proficient with kicks and she refined that with some MMA training but I think Eve’s kickboxing background will enable her to hold her own, and at 5’8 she is taller and has a better reach.
Angelina goes for a low kick but Eve steps back, then catches Angelina with a good one to the side. Angelina backs up but when Eve moves in she goes behind quick and applies a waistlock, getting Eve down on the mat. Angelina immediately hits a few crossface forearms to stun Eve and goes for the ankle but Eve is able to get to the ropes quickly.
TAZZ: Angelina quickly turned to the ground game there which is a contrast to her luchadore abilities, but Eve had it scouted and got out of there before she could get a hold on.
They circle and get close. This time Eve surprises Angelina with a shoulder throw and tries to sink in an armbar but Angelina is able to get to the ropes. They get up and Angelina kicks at Eve’s leg, then shifts gears and dropkicks her! Eve is up fast but Angelina runs the ropes, jumps onto the middle rope and hits a springboard crossbody. 1……………….2……………kickout. As they get up Angelina throws Eve down with a Mexican arm drag and then a flying headscissor. 1…………2…………..kickout.
STYLES: Angelina may have outsmarted Eve there, she made it look like she wanted to use an MMA style and then shifted quickly to her high flying offence.
Angelina takes Eve down with another flying headscissor and maintains the hold on the mat. She immediately puts as much pressure as she can on the hold and Eve shouts in pain.
TAZZ: Looks like a style shift again back to submission work. This is a tactic we have often seen from Angelina and it works for her.
Eve is struggling and Angelina begins to hit elbows and forearms to her head and shoulders while squeezing with the headscissor.
STYLES: This is new, this is her MMA training at work.
Eve is trying hard to fend off the shots. Eventually Angelina catches both of her wrists and holds her arms while keeping the headscissor on. Eve is struggling desperately.
TAZZ: We could see a quick submission here.
Christian is clapping his hands and shouting encouragement to Eve. She seems to be trapped and Angelina looks confident. Suddenly Eve kicks up both legs and surprises Angelina with a headscissor of her own! The sudden pressure surprises Angelina and she lets go of her headscissor.
STYLES: What a great counter!
Eve now squeezes the neck of Angelina with her legs and hits a few punches to the stomach as well. Angelina kicks up and hits Eve in the head, breaking the hold. She sends Eve into the ropes and monkey flips her, then hits another dropkick for a two count.
TAZZ: Back to the aerial stuff…
Angelina goes for a springboard move but Eve hits a one footed dropkick to her abdomen in midair!
STYLES: What a shot!
Angelina thrashes in pain and Eve pins her. 1……………2………….kickout. Eve backs Angelina into the ropes, hits a few knees, chops to the chest, then sends her into the ropes and hits a leg lariat. Angelina gets right up only to get a one footed dropkick. 1……………2……………kickout. Angelina gets up in a corner and Eve unloads on her with kicks to the body and head as Angelina tries to cover up.
TAZZ: Eve’s taking it to her now!
Eve Irish whips Angelina and hits a handspring back elbow! Angelina falls to a sitting position breathing heavily. Eve pulls her out of the corner and goes for a jackknife cover. 1……………..2………….kickout. Angelina tags out.
TAZZ: Angelina was smart there, she knew the tide was turning against her so she tagged out to break Eve’s momentum.
STYLES: She seems focused I’ll grant you that. Where was this focus at Wrestlemania!?
Angelina looks into the crowd and freezes when she sees someone.
TAZZ: Who’s she looking at?
The camera shows Jason and Sam Turbo, as well as Adrenaline and Hellraiser.
STYLES: What the hell are they doing here? Angelina is the only BWL wrestler still under contract to the WWE! Adrenaline hasn’t worked here in over a year and Hellraiser was let go last summer when he went AWOL!
TAZZ: I guess they bought tickets.
Sam says something and gestures up her sides and breasts as though calling for some more sexual behaviour. Angelina shakes her head no!
STYLES: Ok this I don’t get. Before they got to the WWE, Angelina once goaded Samantha Turbo into accepting a stipulation that she would have to marry her if she lost a match and Angelina won! She forced Sam to marry her here in the WWE and we understand that she more or less forced her into sexual slavery during that time, and then again in Mexico. Now after that Samantha Turbo WANTS Angelina to start up with her sexual routines? I’m baffled Tazz!
TAZZ: It don’t make sense but I agree with Sam.
STYLES: Big surprise.
Raven charges Christian but Captain Charisma leapfrogs over him and hits a spinning heel kick when he turns around! 1…………….2………….kickout. Christian goes for an Irish whip, Raven reverses, but Christian catches him coming in with a kick to the face and then hits a Tornado DDT!
1……………………….2…………………………
Kickout.
STYLES: Christian is keeping himself one step ahead of Raven here!
Christian backs Raven up with punches, sends him into the ropes and hits a big time back body drop, followed by clothesline, a second, a third, and then a swinging neckbreaker. 1…………………………..2………………….kickout. Christian bodyslams Raven and goes to the top. When Raven stands up he hits a missile dropkick! 1…………………..2……………………shoulder up!
TAZZ: Christian is doing the right thing in this match, he has been keeping the pressure on Raven and isn’t giving the master psychologist the chance to think about his next move!
Christian gets Raven’s throat on the middle rope, stands on his back and pulls on the top rope for leverage, choking Raven out!
STYLES: Don’t ever underestimate the mean streak of Captain Charisma. Behind all the jokes is still a man who made his reputation in brutal ladder matches, a man who betrayed his own brother out of jealousy and one of the two men who invented the conchairto!
Christian backs off when the ref tells him to. Raven struggles to his feet and Cage goes for a clothesline but Raven backdrops him over the ropes to the floor!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
Cage is down holding his head and neck.
TAZZ: Christian landed right on the back of his head from about twelve feet in the air!
Raven gets his bearings and rolls to the outside, getting Christian on his feet and ramming his head into the steps. Cage staggers and Raven drives his back into the barricade. As Christian stumbles forward, Raven gives him a drop toe hold into the steps!
STYLES: Once Raven gets the upper hand few men are more meticulous in the way they pick apart an opponent. Raven saw that Christian landed on his head and neck. Now he is working on the head…and Raven’s finishing maneuver impacts the head and neck of an opponent.
TAZZ: No wasted motion at all on his part.
Raven throws Christian back into the ring. Cage stands up as Raven comes in, and the former Flock leader hits a series of punches and then a discus clothesline. 1……………..2…………….kickout. Raven pulls Christian to his feet and gives him a double underhook suplex. 1………………..2……………..kickout. Raven sends Christian into the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Cage kicks him in the face. Raven staggers back, Christian charges, Raven side steps and throws him over the ropes….but Captain Charisma holds on as Raven turns his back to look at Eve.
STYLES: Christian is skinning the cat!
Christian comes back over the ropes but Raven pivots and clotheslines him out over the top!
TAZZ: You have to be pretty sharp to outsmart Raven!
Raven turns to Eve and says, “What is it you like about him? The high flying moves? Watch this!”
As Christian gets up, Raven runs and jumps over the ropes with a hip check on the floor!
STYLES: Oh my God!
Raven throws Cage back in the ring and comes in with a superkick. 1…………….2………………shoulder up. Raven sends Christian into the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Cage catches the arm, spins over and hits Raven with a hurricane DDT!
TAZZ: Shades of the Rock…who many people feel is a sell out, including Christian!
STYLES: How do you know that?
TAZZ: I hear things.
Christian drapes an arm on Raven. 1……………2…………..kickout. Both men roll to their corners and tag. As the women gets in, Angelina gestures that she wants to use some MMA fighting. Sam stands up in the front row and Angelina glances in her direction…
Eve hits a one footed dropkick that sends Angelina through the ropes!
STYLES: Whoa a lapse in concentration on Angelina’s part really cost her!
Eve hits a baseball slide as Angelina tries to get up and she hits the announce table! Eve rolls out, grabs Angelina by the hair and smashes her face into the table, then throws her into the ring!
TAZZ: Eve is showing some real fire here. Obviously she is more than a little upset about Wrestlemania…
Eve follows and gives Angelina a neckbreaker. 1……………..2………….kickout.
Angelina tries to sit up but Eve gets her in a figure four headscissor.
TAZZ: There’s a nice Jiu-Jitsu hold, and you know we’ve talked about Angelina knowing different styles; luchadore, traditional submissions, her sexual style and now some MMA techniques. But we can’t underestimate Eve, she has a background in kickboxing, she has that blue belt in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu and as you saw from that neckbreaker she had worked hard on her professional wrestling skills as well.
STYLES: And she’s done her homework, she hit the neckbreaker and then went right to the neck again with this scissor hold. Angelina’s past neck injuries are well documented.
Angelina is struggling hard to break the hold but Eve has powerful legs and is using them effectively. Sam and Jason Turbo are looking in disgust at Angelina and shouting things to her while Hellraiser and Adrenaline are enjoying the show. Angelina is eventually able to kick her legs up enough to flip over Eve into a pinning predicament….1………….2…………..Eve lets go of the hold to avoid being pinned.
TAZZ: Nice counter by Angelina but Eve was smart enough to let go so she wouldn’t get beat.
Angelina grabs one of Eve’s legs from the side and wrestles her to the ground. She tries to float up into a mount position but Eve is able to hook Angelina’s arm with her legs, flips her onto her back and applies a crossarm breaker! Angelina screams in pain but is able to reach the ropes. Eve lets go and she rolls out…right in front of Jason and Sam who stand up and confront Angelina.
STYLES: Just what is going on?
JASON: Give the people and US what we want Angelina!
Angelina looks around and slowly gets back in. When Eve moves towards her she steps back out onto the apron. Eve complains to the ref that she is messing around and Angelina fires off an aggressive kick through the ropes to Eve’s ribs. She quickly locks in the Sexy Spider!
TAZZ: Whoa out of nowhere she puts on her face to face version of the Tarantula!
STYLES: We wondered if Angelina would resort to her old ways and we have our answer.
While she has the hold on Angelina licks Eve’s face and quickly gropes her just as the ref orders a break. Eve falls to her hands and knees and looks a bit freaked out. Christian complains to the ref while Raven watches stoically. Angelina looks back at the BWL crowd and shouts “Are you happy now!?”
STYLES: This is weird…it almost looks like Angelina didn’t want to do that…
Angelina fires off a few hard kicks to the body and then a low dropkick to the face. She stands over Eve and drops down with a Money Shot pin.
TAZZ: She’s sitting right on her face…I guess the old Angelina is back…
1………………..2………….
Eve hooks Angelina’s shoulders with her legs and gets her down with a sunset flip….1……………..2………….Angelina applies a headscissor from the sunset flip position.
STYLES: Well that’s a unique counter…
Angelina glances at the Turbos and at their instigation she reluctantly tries to force Eve’s face close to her crotch…
STYLES: That’s uncalled for…
Eve again freaks out and pounds free. She rolls away wiping at her face, but now Angelina has a bit of a smile on her face. They circle and Angelina does a quick go behind into a waist lock. Instead of trying for a take down she feels Eve up! Eve frees herself with a few quick elbows to get away.
TAZZ: Angelina seems to be enjoying this now…this is messed Joey.
Angelina rushes forward and quickly locks in a bearhug. After what has just happened even this normal wrestling move is freaking Eve out and she pounds free frantically.
STYLES: Angelina didn’t even have to sexualize that, Eve is completely freaked out by these “moves” and it has thrown her off her game plan completely! Eve was very focused up until the point that Angelina shifted into sexual overdrive!
TAZZ: I don’t know if this is strategy or just plain pleasure for Angelina now…
Angelina knocks Eve down with a spinning heel kick and pins her for a two count, then floats onto her into a 69 position and applies a headscissor.
STYLES: Come on don’t do this to her…
TAZZ: Well like it or not that is an actual wrestling hold…
Eve struggles to escape and eventually catches Angelina with a knee to the chin! Both women get up but Eve is a bit out of breath from the hold and Angelina knocks her down with a quick combination of punches to the body followed by a knee to the chest. Angelina then gets on top of Eve and grabs her wrists, attempting to pin her arms over her head.
TAZZ: This is a traditional style pin but when Angelina does it…
STYLES: Don’t even go there Tazz…
Eve struggles to keep her shoulders up and get free, but Angelina is getting near falls and is also pressing her body down on Eve. Instead of just using her body to hold her down, Angelina begins to rub against her…
STYLES: Oh come on…
As Eve is fighting to keep at least one shoulder up, Angelina begins to whisper suggestive things and tries to kiss her! Eve turns her head and Angelina kisses her on the cheek and neck. Eve is so freaked out she kicks her feet out frantically and finally manages to headbutt Angelina. Angelina rolls off but gets up smiling. Eve rolls to her stomach and tries to get up, but Angelina begins to spank her and then tries to pull off her shorts!
STYLES: Come on! What the hell is wrong with Angelina?
TAZZ: What’s wrong with Angelina? What’s wrong with you Joey, who wouldn’t want to see Eve in bra and panties?
Eve tries to kick her away…Angelina grabs her leg, but Eve is able to hop up on her other foot and then hits an enziguri! Angelina’s eyes roll and she falls face down.
STYLES: That’s the break Eve needs, now she should tag!
She does and Raven runs in to attack without waiting for Angelina to even get out of the ring. He and Christian exchange punches and Captain Charisma gets the better of it with a quickly flurry, then tries to send Raven into the ropes. Raven pulls him back and tries a short clothesline but Christian ducks and applies his unique reverse DDT backbreaker!
TAZZ: I love that move!
Christian covers….1……………………..2…………………….shoulder up!
Cage stomps on Raven’s chest to keep him stunned, then goes to the middle rope and comes off with a diving headbutt! 1………………………..2………………….Raven kicks out. Christian sets up for the Unprettier, but Raven shoves him off chest first into a neutral corner. Raven charges in but Christian kicks him, spinning Raven around. Cage goes to the second rope, hooks the head and hits a Tornado Reverse DDT!
STYLES: That move could do it!
1………………………
2……………………..
2.9999……………………
RAVEN KICKS OUT!
Christian goes to the top rope and tries for the Frog Splash but Raven moves!
TAZZ: High risk, low return for Christian!
Cage crawls to the ropes. Raven chokes him on the middle rope, then gestures to Angelina and argues with the ref. While this is going on, Angelina applies a headscissor around the rope on Christian!
STYLES: Hey look out ref!
Eve shouts a few times at the ref and when that doesn’t work she runs in and hits a one footed dropkick that sends the unsuspecting Angelina flying right into the barricade!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
Raven confronts Eve…and Christian grabs him from behind and hits a Reverse DDT! 1……………………….2……………………kickout. Cage goes for the Unprettier, but Raven shoves him off right into the ref who is sent through the ropes!
TAZZ: Now we have no ref!
Christian goes down holding his nose.
STYLES: It was hard to tell but I think maybe Christian’s nose hit the referee’s forehead!
TAZZ: That’s a good way to break a nose!
Raven falls down in exhaustion, trying to catch his breath. Eve comes in to see if Christian is ok. Raven inches towards her shouting “WHAT ABOUT ME!? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?!”
TAZZ: Oh man not this…
Suddenly the ROCK runs in, grabs Christian and hits a Rock Bottom!
STYLES: WHAT!? I HAD NO IDEA THE ROCK WAS HERE!
Rock trash talks the fallen Cage and then walks out.
TAZZ: The Rock just planted the unsuspecting Christian with that Rock Bottom and left as suddenly as he arrived!
Raven is still down on his hands and knees but has caught hold of Eve’s hand and is saying something to her.
STYLES: I can’t be sure but it looks almost like Raven is begging Eve to take him back!
Eve is trying to pull away from Raven but he keeps his hold on her wrist and tries to grab her around the waist with his other hand.
TAZZ: I guess Raven doesn’t care about keeping his pride in tact does he?
Eve struggles to get free and ends up hitting a knee to the balls! Raven rolls under the ropes in agony. The ref is coming to and trying to get back in. Eve looks over the ropes at Raven, almost in apology, and is hit from behind by Angelina!
Angelina quickly mounts Eve and applies the Angelic Sensation!
STYLES: Oh no not this!
Eve is struggling and trying to kick at Angelina’s back to no avail.
TAZZ: She put Morganna to sleep with this hold once. Eve has to get out fast or just give it up here.
Eve manages to get her foot on the rope. The ref is about to call the break, but Angelina shifts her body roughly to pull Eve’s foot off the rope. When the ref hesitates about making the call, Angelina says, “Her foot isn’t on the rope now love.”
STYLES: Come on the hold should be broken! The ref saw Eve get her foot on the rope but Angelina is trying to use her seductive ways to butter him up!
Stretching her body to the limits of her flexibility, Eve again gets her foot on but the ref is too busy looking at Angelina to notice and she again shifts her weight enough to pull Eve off the rope. Christian has recovered and seen enough…he grabs Angelina by the hair, pulls her off and clenches his fist.
CAGE: You don’t want to break? How about I give you a break!
The ref is yelling at Christian to let her go. He finally shoves her away and the ref rings the bell!
STYLES: What?
There is confusion as the ref confers with the ring announcer.
CHIMMEL: Ladies and gentlemen the referee has disqualified Christian for putting his hands on Angelina in a mixed tag team match, therefore the winners of the match are Raven and Angelina!
TAZZ: Only call he could make…
STYLES: That’s bull! What about Raven grabbing Eve?
Cage argues with the ref, but Raven slides in and hits him from behind, sending him flying out of the ring. Raven goes out after him while Eve protests to the referee.
TAZZ: Eve got screwed over again!
Angelina is in a corner with a smirk on her face. Christian blocks an attempt by Raven to ram him into the steps and elbows him. He tries to ram Raven in but he blocks and elbows Christian away, with the two former world champions then beginning an exchange of punches.
STYLES: The match is officially over but it isn’t as far as Christian and Raven are concerned!
While they continue to fight on the floor, Eve is arguing with the referee. Suddenly Angelina kicks her from behind, knocking her down to her hands and knees.
STYLES: Come on!
Angelina lands a vicious punt kick to the side of the head! She then gets down on top of the fallen Eve, licks her lips and puckers up…
STYLES: No come on! Do something ref!
Angelina leans down and kisses Eve on the mouth!
TAZZ: Whoa!
STYLES: Come on ref! Quick staring and get her off!
Angelina continues to kiss Eve until Christian reverses a whip into the steps on Raven, rolls back in and chases her out! Angelina bails out quickly as Cage helps Eve up to a sitting position to see if she’s ok. From the aisle, Angelina rubs herself suggestively and licks her lips as Eve looks at her in revulsion.
STYLES: Put all the jokes aside Tazz, Angelina just violated Eve here!
Raven watches from ringside and slowly leaves ringside, with no obvious emotion on his face. Smackdown goes to commercial as Christian is trying to calm down a very distressed looking Eve…
STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE UNITED STATES TITLE: BRIMSTONE VS THE GREAT KHALI (IF KHALI WINS, HE GETS FIVE MINUTES WITH JAMES MITCHELL, IF HE LOSES HE LEAVES THE NEW CHURCH ALONE)
Styles: Ladies and gentlemen our next match is not for the weak of heart and if you have any small children I suggest sending them to bed early because this will be bloody, this will be barbaric this is a steel cage match.
Tazz: And not for nothing it features two of the WWE’s biggest monsters competing inside of it as The Great Khali challenges The monster from the New Church Brimstone for his United States championship.
Styles: According to the detestable Sinister Minister James Mitchell he sees this as a chance for his monster to prove he is worthy of a WWE Title shot and usher in what he calls the Era of evil.
Tazz: Well if he can defeat the 7 foot plus Punjabi Nightmare then like the New Church or not and I DON’T!! I wouldn’t argue one bit that Old skull and bones deserves a title shot.
Styles: Well that’s up to both Y2J and Roddy Piper not you Tazz or James Mitchell. Still I agree a win for either man tonight would offer either a legitimate claim to being the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
Chimmel: The Following STEEL CAGE MATCH is scheduled for one fall and the only way a competitor can win is by escaping the cage with both feet touching the floor or by pinfall and submission Introducing first accompanied to the ring by Runjin Singh. From Bombay India weighing of 420 pounds, THE GREAT KHALI!!!
Khali gets a huge pop from the fans as he makes his way to the ring.
Styles: There will be no laughing or kissing tonight from the Punjabi Playboy. No sir Khali is here for one reason revenge.
Tazz: And not just on Brimstone but on his manger too James Mitchell, who really should be a worried tonight because if Khali wins not only does he get the United States championship he gets 5 minutes alone inside that cage with Mitchell.
Khali enters the cage and awaits Brimstone.
Chimmel: Next, weighing in at 330 pounds, accompanied to the ring by the Sinister Minister James Mitchell, representing the New Church, he is the United States Champion, BRIMSTONE!!!
Styles: Well we have heard that tonight its Khali who should be worried because Mitchel’s monster is off the leash, but when you are the Great Khali do you really need to be afraid of this guy?
Tazz: Afraid no, but only an idiot would not be concerned about this match Styles. We still don’t know all to much about this guy and with the added element of a steel cage this could be the equalizer he needs to take apart the Great Khali.
Brimstone gets in the cage and slams the door shut.
Styles: WELL HERE WE GO.
Khali goes for a pummelling blow but Brimstone dodges it and lays in some body shots. Khali stumbles a bit but gets in a huge knee and pushes Brimstone away. Brimstone fires back a boot to the gut but Khali swats it away and clotheslines Brimstone down to the mat. Khali quickly picks up Brimstone by the head and tries to grind his face into the cage, but Brimstone blocks it and unleashes a reverse elbow to the jaw backing off Khali. Brimstone runs towards Khali and explodes with a clothesline that leaves him teetering.
Again Brimstone hits another running clothesline and Khali drops to one knee. Brimstone right away begins to rain down shots to the head. Khali though catches one hand gets to his feet and brings in Brimstone for a short arm clothesline.
Tazz: So far this has been a non stop slugfest I love it.
Khali picks up Brimstone by the head and tosses him face first right into the side of the cage.
Styles: Well it did not take long for the Steel Cage to come into play.
Tazz: And let me tell ya, that steel is about as forgiving as the Undertaker or his Brother Kane.
Brimstone convulses on the ground as Khali reaches down and picks him up and again he tosses Brimstone into the cage, but this time Brimstone braces himself and comes off it. He ducks a standing clothesline and begins to unload shot after shot. A body shot, an uppercut, a boot to the gut, then a headbutt that sends Khali reeling into the corner. Brimstone fires in a few more shots and tries to Irish whip Khali, but its reversed. Khali comes running in but Brimstone gets his feet up. He then quickly gets a running start and comes off the ropes with a big boot sending Khali down.
Styles: So far Brimstone has been able to stay one step ahead of the Great Khali, but I have to think that it’s a matter of time before the Punjabi Playboy slows things down.
Tazz: Normally its Brimstone who prefers that methodical pace, but it appears that he is keeping the pace fast.
Styles: He has to, he is against a man even larger than himself and confined to close quarters as well.
Brimstone runs off the ropes and hits a big time leg drop.
Brimstone moves towards the right side of the cage looks a little uneasy at first as he grips on to the steel, but he does manage to start climbing. Slowly the big man makes it halfway up but Khali gets to his feet and reaches up and grabs Brimstone’s foot. He then grabs the other foot, hoists the monster on his shoulders and falls back and hits an ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP.
STYLES: WHAT AN IMPACT!!!
Tazz: The ring literally shook from that ton of humanity crashing down, and you want to talk about raw power that was over 300 pounds of weight he held right on his shoulders.
Styles: And did you notice that Khali is tall enough to just rip Brimstone off the cage with out even climbing after him.
Both men slowly get up but Khali is first to his feet. He stuns Brimstone with a massive chop to the chest and muscles him into the corner. Khali buries a knee into the gut and is able to position Brimstone on to the top turnbuckle. Khali then tries to hook Brimstone in for a superplex.
Tazz: If he hits this its over.
Brimstone though fights back chopping the bigger man in the throat and letting off another headbut. Khali staggers and after one more blow Khali falls off the second rope and lands with a big thud. Brimstone then from the top rope drops an Elbow.
Styles: What a brilliant way to capitalize on Khali’s big mistake. It’s a shame such a talented big man is working for a slime bag like the Sinister Minister.
Brimstone again makes the climb up the cage.
Tazz: It’s like watching King Kong climbing up the empire states building.
Khali though is able to get to his feet and pulls him down to his feet and locks in a sleeper.
Brimstone runs Khali back first into the cage to escape and then runs off the ropes right into the CHOP OF DOOM. Brimstone falls down back first and Khali goes for the pin.
1....
2...
Shoulder up.
Khali then locks in a nerve hold clamping his massive hands right on the shoulder muscles of Brimstone.
Styles: At Wrestlemania Khali used a lot of these holds to keep Brimstone down on the mat and if you ask me I think the strategy was working quite well until Claudia showed up.
Tazz: Well you know a lot of people think Khali was going to beat Brimstone and win the US title up until Claudia got him disqualified.
Brimstone battles to his feet and again we see him fire off big time blows that rock Khali into the corner. Brimstone frees himself and unloads with a couple of body shots he then grabs Khali by the head and crashes him off the cage.
Brimstone favours his shoulder a bit but ducks low and lifts the Great Khali off his feet and hits a SPINE BUSTER.
Styles: We talked about Khali’s power but how about that, he just lifted Khali right off his feet.
Tazz: Well who can forget the impressive bodyslam by Brimstone to the Great Khali at the Survivor Series.
Brimstone hooks the leg for a cover.
1....
2....
2..99
Shoulder up.
Styles: My god was that ever close.
Brismtone mounts Khali and fires off a few more shots the face and begins to make the climb.
Mitchell shouts at him to climb faster as he sees Khali beginning to stir. Brimstone makes it to the top of the cage and gets one leg draped over the top of the cage, when Khali climbs up just enough to grab the other leg. He pulls Brimstone back in. Brimstone fires off a chop to the face, but Khali catches it. He then muscles Brimstone into position for a superplex and hits it.
STYLES: OH MY GOD THAT WAS A 10 ON THE RICHTER SCALE!!
Tazz: I think the Sinister Minister just had a heart attack.
Khali slowly makes the cover.
1.....
2.....
2..99
Mitchell is screaming kick out.
Shoulder up.
Tazz: I don’t believe he kicked out of that.
Styles: But Khali was only able to make a one armed pin I think that move took a lot out of him too.
Khali gets to his feet and holds his back in pain, but lifts Brimstone up and whips him into the steel cage face first and he bounces back right into a side walk slam.
Khali goes for the pin.
1.....
2....
2...99
Shoulder up.
Brimstone sits up slowly and is muscled into the corner. Khali lays in a chop to the chest and Irish whips Brimstone. Brimstone though impressively begins to climb up the cage as quick as he can but Khali is right on him, climbs up on the second rope and pulls Brimstone down. Now Khali tries to make the climb, but Brimstone gets up and grabs the big man by the feet and hits a POWER BOMB!!
Styles: OH MY GOD!!!!
Tazz: That has to be it.
Brimstone holds his back in pain and slowly makes a cover.
1....
2....
2..99
Kick out.
Brimstone lets out an animalistic scream in frustration and looks at the referee.
Styles: Oh he’s snapped. I think he thought he had Khali there.
Brimstone stalks the referee and he high tails it up the cage.
Tazz: Brimstone just chased the referee out of the cage. What the hell.?
Brimstone then looks at the steel door. He walks over to it and rips it right off its hinges. He sees Khali getting up and runs the door right into his face sending Khali down and busting him open.
Styles: I don’t believe it Mitchell was right, putting Brimstone in cage was a bad idea.
Khali is motionless in the ring and Brimstone drops the door right on top of Khali and runs off the ropes and hits a big time splash.
Mitchell gets in the ring and smiles evilly and motions for Brimstone to leave.
Brimstone does as instructed and exits through the door.
Chimmel: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL UNITED STATES CHAMPION BRIMSTONE.
Tazz: I don’t believe what we just saw Brimstone snapped and ripped off the steel cage door and used it as a weapon.
Styles: Are we now truly looking at the beginning of the era of evil? I truly hope not.
Backstage Angelina is standing with Maria, who doesn’t look happy at all.
MARIA: Angelina, my question is this. What’s your problem?
ANGELINA: Maria if you only knew what problems-
Suddenly Eve rushes at Angelina out of nowhere and tackles her against the wall. Both women go down to the floor hitting each other!
STYLES: CAT FIGHT!
Maria is trying to separate them. Eve is screaming “YOU SICK BITCH!” over and over as they fight. Finally a few referees come and pull them apart. Angelina’s expression is hard to read but Eve is trying to break free from the referees and almost in tears.
TAZZ: Man, Eve was definitely freaked out by what Angelina did to her.
STYLES: Can you blame her? Look I know people might act like pigs because it was a woman kissing another woman, but how would you react if it was a male wrestler kissing Eve when she was knocked out like that!?
TAZZ: Ok ok I get your point!
LEGENDS TITLE MATCH: STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN VS PSYCHO SID
CHIMMEL: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Legends championship!
STYLES: This issue has been brewing ever since Stone Cold confronted Sid about his threat to powerbomb Absinthe and Morganna. Austin gave Sid a stunner during an altercation between the legends teams prior to Wrestlemania. At Wrestlemania Stone Cold scored the deciding pin over Hulk Hogan to win the legends title but now it’s time for these two to finally go one on one in sanctioned match!
CHIMMEL: Introducing first the challenger, from West Memphis, Arkansas, weighing 320 pounds, PSYCHO SID
Sid walks down to the ring shouting “I AM THE MASTER AND THE RULER OF THE WORLD!” and occasionally touching knuckles with fans who are supporting him.
TAZZ: Sid looks almost exactly the same now as he did when he started wrestling. I’d like to know his secret!
Sid steps over the ropes and kneels down with his arms spread in front of a huge “SID” pyro display.
CHIMMEL: His opponent, from Victoria, Texas, weighing 250 pounds, the WWE Legends Champion STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
Austin comes out to a huge crowd reaction. He marches to the ring, tosses the belt to the ref and slides in. Sid attacks right away and they are trading punches before Austin can even get out of his vest.
TAZZ: I’m not looking for a lot of Greco-Roman wrestling here, this is gonna be a fight!
Sid sends Austin staggering back with a huge clubbing blow, but Austin rushes back with a kick to the gut and backs Sid into the ropes with right hand after right hand. He goes to send Sid into the ropes, Sid reverses, Austin ducks a big boot and comes back with a Lou Thesz Press. He hammers down into the face of Sid, hits the ropes and drops an elbow to the throat. Sid gets up and Austin continues to pound on him.
STYLES: Austin is taking it to him.
TAZZ: He has to set a quick pace in my opinion and not let Sid slow things down.
Austin goes to send Sid into the ropes but Sid again reverses, this time connecting with a boot to the face. Sid pulls off Austin’s vest and chokes him with it! The ref counts to four, Sid releases the choke but backs the ref into the corner threatening him.
STYLES: Watch it Sid, you don’t want to be disqualified.
Austin catches Sid with a few right hands when he turns but Sid knees him in the gut and drops him with a short clothesline. Sid stomps Austin, picks him up and throws him between the ropes to the floor. Sid goes right out after him and whips Stone Cold into the steps!
TAZZ: Man did he hit hard. This is what Austin didn’t want. He’s hurt early and Sid is going to be able to use his power.
Sid drops Austin chest first on the barricade and throws him into the ring. He follows and hits a few clubbing forearms to the back, driving Austin to his hands and knees, then applies a camel clutch.
STYLES: Imagine the pressure a man as big and strong as Sid can put on your neck!
Austin refuses to give up and tries to push up but Sid jumps on his back to drive him back down. He then reapplies the hold. Austin still won’t give up and slides forward to get his knees under him, reducing the hold to a chinlock. Austin struggles to his feet and elbows free but Sid forearms him across the back of the neck. Sid tries to lift Austin but he slides down behind him and chop blocks the big man!
TAZZ: Good move Austin! Chop the big man down!
Austin immediately kicks away at the lower leg, then drops a few elbows to the ankle.
STYLES: Just as we saw Sid work on the surgically repaired neck of Stone Cold we are now seeing the Rattlesnake work on the surgically repaired ankle of Sid.
Austin drags Sid over to the post, goes to the floor and slams his leg against the post. He does it again, then comes in and hammers on Sid as he tries to get up in the corner. Austin uses kicks to the body to drive Sid down to a sitting position and stomps a mudhole in him!
TAZZ: Both of these guys are going to just beat the hell out of each other Joey and I think you’ll need to beat either one totally senseless to get the win here. No one’s going to quit.
Austin drags Sid away from the ropes and tries to go for the Texas Cloverleaf but Sid kicks him away. Sid meets Austin with a right hand as both men get up but Stone Cold fires back with a kick to the leg and a few shots upstairs. Austin runs the ropes but Sid catches him with a huge sidewalk slam! Sid hooks the leg….1………………….2…………………..shoulder up!
STYLES: Sid did that on a sore ankle…how powerful is this man!?
Sid stomps on the chest, then goes to the second rope. When Austin stands Sid comes off with a double axehandle. 1………………………..2…………………shoulder up. Sid pulls Austin up and tries to set up the Powerbomb but Austin takes out the ankle and drags Sid to the post again.
TAZZ: Oh man this could be the beginning of the end for Sid!
Austin tries to ram Sid’s leg into the post but Sid pulls forward and Austin hits face first! As he holds his face in pain, Sid kicks him away, sending Austin backwards over the barricade!
STYLES: Oh my God what power!
Austin is holding his neck in the crowd as Sid limps over, pulls him over the barricade and rams his head into the post again! Sid throws Austin into the ring and follows, knocking him down with a huge clothesline. 1…………2…………kickout. Austin tries to get up but Sid repeatedly pounds him back down with punches to the head.
TAZZ: Austin could be hurt worse than we know Joey. This is a dangerous situation.
Sid sends Austin into the ropes and powerslams him. 1…………………………2……………….kickout. Sid hooks the leg again……1………………………..2………………..kickout. He tries a third time…1…………………………..2……………..kickout.
SID: DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!
STYLES: Sid is starting to get frustrated. I wonder if he is trying so hard to keep Austin down because he thinks his ankle is hurt too badly to use the powerbomb?
Sid backs up to the ropes and hits a legdrop to the chest. 1………………………2………………shoulder up.
TAZZ: You notice Sid was very careful dropping that leg? He made sure to protect that ankle.
STYLES: No one ever said Sid was stupid…
TAZZ: No one outside of a bodycast anyway.
Sid applies a nervehold to try and wear Austin down.
TAZZ: Not a move you see often from Sid but it’s smart, he knows Austin has a lot of energy so he is going to try and sap his strength, lean his weight down on Austin and at the same time give himself a breather.
Austin struggles to his feet and begins to elbow free. Sid clubs him across the back, sends him into the ropes, Austin ducks a clothesline, attempts a Lou Thesz Press, but Sid catches him with a boot in midair!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
Sid hooks the leg. 1……………………….2………………….
TAZZ: He might have him here!
AUSTIN KICKS OUT!
SID: DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!
Sid scoops Austin up, but the Rattlesnake slips free and slaps on the Million Dollar Dream!
TAZZ: Out of nowhere! Austin used to finish people off with this!
Sid is straining hard to resist the hold but his legs are getting rubbery already.
STYLES: With Sid’s height it’s hard for Austin to apply the hold properly but the Psycho one is still being worn out here!
Sid goes down to one knee and now Austin is really putting the pressure on. The ref goes to try the arm but Sid grabs him by the collar and shoves him away, then stands up. Sid shoves Austin backwards into a corner and breaks the hold!
STYLES: That’s the challenge of dealing with a man as powerful as Sid.
Austin goes to the second rope as Sid staggers out of the corner and hits a double axehandle to the back! Sid goes down on one knee and Austin runs the ropes, hitting a kick to the head that bowls Sid over backwards.
Austin goes up to the middle rope and hits an elbow smash. 1………………..2……………..Sid gets the shoulder up.
Austin grabs the legs and this time he is able to turn Sid over into the Texas Cloverleaf!
TAZZ: Austin really knows how to do some damage with this one!
Sid actually screams in pain and tries to reach the ropes but Austin pulls him back to the middle. The ref checks to see if Sid will give up but he refuses and begins to push up. He eventually manages to kick Austin off!
STYLES: Sid powered out but how much did that take out of him?
Austin hammers away on Sid as he tries to get up, kicks him and sets up the Stunner but Sid shoves him off. Sid catches Austin coming back with a knee, then gives him a hangman’s neckbreaker!

Austin kicks out!
Sid puts Austin in a Crossface!
TAZZ: Oh man imagine the pressure this is putting on the neck of Stone Cold!
Austin is now the one who screams in pain as Sid is shouting at him to give up! Austin refuses and is trying to inch to the ropes.
STYLES: Sid’s size is working against Austin here, how do you drag such a huge man when one of your arms is trapped?
After nearly a minute of excruciatingly painful pressure, Austin finally makes the ropes. Sid curses and breaks the hold. He sets up for the Powerbomb but Austin twists out and goes for the Stunner…Sid pushes Austin off and catches him coming back with a chokeslam!
TAZZ: That’s got to be it!
Sid hooks the leg. 1…………………..

2.9999……………….
AUSTIN GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Sid argues with the ref that it was three and clenches his fist. The ref says “Watch it Sid, I’m the official here and I will disqualify you!”
SID: YOU DARE THREATEN THE MASTER AND RULER OF THE WORLD!?
Sid kicks the ref in the gut and Powerbombs him!
STYLES: What the hell!?
Sid stands over the ref as a few others come out.
TAZZ: None of the other refs want to get in the ring!
Sid turns around…
Austin kicks him and hits the Stunner!
Austin goes for the pin, shouting at the referees to count!
TAZZ: One of you count!
One of the refs slides in…

2.9999……………..
SID KICKS OUT!
Austin looks shocked. He gets into a mount position and begins to hammer away at Sid. The ref lays a count on him and then grabs Stone Cold’s arm to try and get him off…
TAZZ: You don’t want to do that ref…
Austin is furious and gives the ref a Stunner!
Sid rolls to the floor. Austin comes out after him and they brawl on the floor!
STYLES: The other referees don’t even want any part of this!
Finally Jim Neidhart comes out to try and break up the fight…Sid turns and hits him! Now the Anvil is in the brawl as well!
TAZZ: This is crazy!
STYLES: Here comes Roddy Piper!
Piper tries to pull them apart and gets shoved aside. Finally he says, “That does it!” and waves for arena security.
TAZZ: I think Piper’s throwing the match out!
As security tries to separate Austin and Sid, Piper confers briefly with the ring announcer.
CHIMMEL: Ladies and gentlemen this contest has been ruled a no contest.
Both Austin and Sid look furious about the call and try to get at each other some more as wrestlers also come out from the back to break it up!
STYLES: We have to go to a break here…
Commercial
STYLES: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, during the break security and about half the locker room were finally able to break up Stone Cold Steve Austin and Psycho Sid. This issue still hasn’t been resolved!
TAZZ: You can’t resolve a fight like this within the confines of the rules Joey.
8 MAN TAG: THE BLOODLINE AND VAMPIRO VS EDGE, HANNIBAL, MIDEON AND THE GIANT
STYLES: What an extraordinary lineup we have in this next match. We have the WWE champion, Intercontinental champion, tag team champions and Extreme Rules champion all in one match!
TAZZ: Of the 8 men, 4 of them have been WWE champion and there are two on each team. Also, everyone in this match has held tag team gold in the WWE except for the newcomer Billy Blade.
STYLES: And he held tag team gold on the California Independent circuit with Gangrel!
CHIMMEL: This contest is an 8 man tag team match. Introducing first, standing over 7 feet tall and weighing 440 pounds, THE GIANT
Giant walks to the ring with a menacing scowl on his face.
TAZZ: Giant has been in a bad mood ever since his loss to Gangrel at Wrestlemania.
STYLES: He’s vowed vengeance on the entire Bloodline, maybe he’ll get it tonight.
TAZZ: I don’t know how this team is going to co exist really, Hannibal and the Giant hate each other and Giant isn’t that fond of Edge either.
STYLES: I also wonder how Vampiro will really co-exist with the Bloodline. There is some tension there as well.
TAZZ: Well not for nothing, Kevin Thorn took the WWE title from Vampiro and at the time Vamp retired over it.
CHIMMEL: Representing the New Church, accompanied by the Sinister Minister and Claudia, MIDEON
Mideon walks out hand in hand with a leather clad Claudia while the Sinister Minister follows with an evil smile.
STYLES: Any religion that looks at Edge’s personality traits as virtues is seriously messed up Tazz.
TAZZ: Any religion that can hook up a hottie like Claudia with Mideon has stronger Kool Aid than Paul Heyman used to make!
CHIMMEL: From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing 295 pounds, the WWE Extreme Rules Champion HANNIBAL
Hannibal gets a huge chorus of boos as he makes his way down to the ring.
CHIMMEL: And from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing 248 pounds, The Rated R Superstar EDGE
Edge gets almost as many boos as Hannibal and makes his way to the ring after posing for his pyro display.
STYLES: I think it may be up to Edge to keep this team together as we saw him attempting to do on the Cutting Edge.
TAZZ: This week on the Cutting Edge, Edge kind of downplayed the mind games of Ariel saying he got a Wrestlemania lapdance and they didn’t really “get him”.
STYLES: Well Tazz the simple truth is Kevin Thorn wanted to hurt both Edge and Randy Orton. Ariel distracted Edge long enough for Thorn to do some damage to Orton, which then gave him one on one time against Edge. Edge did look a bit perplexed when Ariel reaffirmed her connection with Thorn and let’s face it. Who won?
The Vampire Song hits next and Morganna walks out alone. Hannibal points at her and calls her a bitch, but she ignores him.
STYLES: Well this is different, Morganna is here but she is not coming out with Vampiro or the other Bloodline members.
CHIMMEL: Now introducing the opponents, first from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, weighing 255 pounds, VAMPIRO!
Vampiro gets a good reaction as he makes his way to the ring. He looks over and she wishes him luck but there is no physical contact.
STYLES: People always stereotype Canadians as being friendly and polite. Vampiro, Hannibal and Edge are all Canadians and not one of them is friendly or polite.
TAZZ: That’s an understatement, if this was your sample of the population you’d think Canada is a perpetual war zone where everyone is screwing everyone else over and beating the crap out of each other!
CHIMMEL: And his partners, accompanied by Kiara, Amanda, Christine and Ariel, the Lost Boy Billy Blade, Intercontinental and tag team champion Gangrel and the tag team and WWE Champion Kevin Thorn, THE BLOODLINE
The vampires make their way down to the ring, with Gangrel climbing the steps, drinking from his goblet and spewing blood into the air while Ariel hangs upside down off the ropes.
STYLES: There are lot of female vampires around ringside…and I need to echo a question posed by Edge. How does Gangrel get these women?
TAZZ: Well Joey in vampire fiction Dracula had three brides, so if Gangrel wants three brides or whatever he calls them that’s all cool with me.
Gangrel sends his three females back up the aisle!
STYLES: I wonder if maybe Gangrel is concerned for the well being of his women here tonight.
TAZZ: Well the Giant wants to get revenge on the entire Bloodline which could include the girls as well so I don’t blame him.
The bell rings and Thorn insists on starting for the Bloodline team. He points at Edge, but Edge gets on the apron saying, “Sorry Kev, but Giant said he wants to start!”
STYLES: That’s probably true but what a convenient truth for Edge!
Giant goes for a big right hand on Thorn but the champion ducks and lands several big shots that stagger the Giant.
TAZZ: Thorn has beaten the Great Khali so he is capable of dealing with someone as big as the Giant.
Thorn hits a clothesline that only staggers the big man. He goes for another but Giant knocks him down with a boot. Giant pulls Thorn up and headbutts him, staggering the champion and causing Ariel to put her hands to her head as though she got the headbutt.
STYLES: I’ve heard people say they are going to hit someone so hard their loved ones will feel it but in this case it’s the truth!
Giant gets Thorn in a corner and hits a Frying pan chop. He headbutts Thorn, then chops him again, dropping him to the mat. The World’s Largest Athlete stands on Thorn’s chest until the four count.
TAZZ: Thorn’s taking a huge beating right now!
The Giant brings the champion to his feet, headbutts him, then Irish whips Thorn with tremendous velocity. He charges in but Thorn hits a boot to the face, then goes to the second rope and hits a flying clothesline that knocks Giant down!
STYLES: That was an impressive knockdown!
Thorn tags in Gangrel and they hit a double elbow drop. Gangrel pins Giant for a two count. As Giant gets up Gangrel lands kicks to the legs and body. Giant shoves him backwards but Gangrel rebounds off the ropes with a spinning elbow to the face. Giant is staggering. Gangrel goes for another but Giant clotheslines him!
TAZZ: Gangrel just got run over by the Giant!
Giant headbutts Gangrel, then slams him. Gangrel holds his back in pain and the Giant pulls him up, hitting a huge sidewalk slam. 1…………………………………2……………………….shoulder up. Edge tags himself in!
STYLES: Oh sure pick the bones…
TAZZ: Hey it’s a tag match and Giant has been in the whole time!
STYLES: It certainly doesn’t look like he wanted out or is happy about the tag!
Edge comes in as Giant glares and stomps away at his former friend, then sends Gangrel into the ropes and hits a spinning heel kick. 1……………….2…………kickout. Edge rams Gangrel into a neutral turnbuckle and unloads with punches to the head, then Irish whips him and catches him coming out of the corner with a vicious kick to the face.
TAZZ: What a shot! That might loosen a fang!
Edge hooks the leg. 1……………………………2………………….shoulder up. As Gangrel tries to get up, Edge knees him, hooks in a half nelson and uses it to hit a side face planter. 1……………………………….2…………….shoulder up. As Gangrel gets up Edge hits a swinging neckbreaker. 1…………………….2………………..kickout.
STYLES: Edge is trying hard to score the pin here. He’d love to pick up a victory over a team that includes Kevin Thorn without actually having to deal with Thorn!
Edge measures Gangrel and goes for the spear but he sidesteps and Edge just puts on the brakes in time to avoid hitting the buckles. He turns but Gangrel kicks him, hooks both arms and hits an arm trap overhead suplex! 1………………………………..2………………….shoulder up!
TAZZ: That double arm trap overhead suplex of Gangrel’s is a real tide turner. It doesn’t just impact the entire back and neck area, it can rip your arms out of their sockets too!
Gangrel hooks both arms from behind and hits Tiger Suplex. 1…………………..2……………….Edge kicks out. He sets up for the Implant DDT but Edge instinctively drives him backwards into a corner…unfortunately for Edge he drove Gangrel into his own corner and Thorn tags in!
STYLES: Oh oh…
Thorn unloads on Edge with brutal punches, then sends him into the ropes and nearly takes his head off with a running clothesline! Edge gets up and Thorn hits a sitdown chestbuster, then runs the ropes and kicks the kneeling Edge in the side of the head. 1…………………………2………………shoulder up. Thorn pulls Edge up, doubles him over and lifts him into an overhead backbreaker.
TAZZ: Sitdown backbreaker coming up…
Instead Thorn pitches Edge sideways over the ropes to the floor!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
TAZZ: Thorn is looking to hurt Edge badly here Joey.
STYLES: Obviously those comments Edge made about Ariel during the Cutting Edge were not appreciated by the WWE champion at all. If Kevin Thorn has his way Edge will spend tonight in a Seattle hospital!
Thorn follows Edge to ringside, then press slams him on the floor!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
Edge holds his back and screams in pain. Thorn throws him into the ring and pins him for a two count. Thorn lands several vicious punches to the face from a mount position and tags Blade in.
TAZZ: I have to wonder if the Bloodline will really integrate Vampiro into the team or if we will see them wanting to just tag each other in all the time.
Thorn holds Edge open for a vicious kick to the ribs followed by a flurry of punches from the Lost Boy.
STYLES: This is our first look at Billy Blade in action against stars of this magnitude. He looked impressive in a six man tag on Superstars before Wrestlemania but we have never seen him in the ring with a top name like Edge.
Blade sends Edge into the ropes and hits a reverse elbow followed by a corkscrew elbow drop. 1…………2……..kickout. Blade gives Edge an inverted atomic drop followed by a discus clothesline. He lets out a yell and shows his fangs.
TAZZ: Don’t showboat kid, stay on him.
Blade tries to set Edge up for an Implant DDT but Edge shoves him backwards into the corner. Blade’s spine hits hard and he flies forward into a boot to the face from Edge.
STYLES: Edge didn’t notice it but Vampiro made a blind tag.
Edge pounds away at Blade on the mat while Vamp goes to the top. Edge gets up and Vamp hits a spinning heel kick from the top! 1…………………….2………………..shoulder up by Edge.
TAZZ: The blind tag by Vamp almost ended this one early! He almost scored an opportunistic pin on the Ultimate Opportunist!
Vampiro goes to work with kicks to the body, then sends Edge into the ropes and knocks him down with a flying clothesline. 1……………….2……………shoulder up. Vamp measures Edge for another big kick but the Rated R Superstar bails out to the floor. He walks around ringside and slides in near his own corner.
TAZZ: Pretty smart move, Edge got himself out of the wrong side of the ring.
Edge tags Hannibal.
STYLES: Here we go!
Hannibal comes in calling Vamp on. Vamp instead points to Thorn, who accepts the tag.
TAZZ: What!? Why the heck did Vamp tag out? Is he afraid of Hannibal?
STYLES: Don’t be ridiculous, Vampiro said himself that he is done with Hannibal and said he was content to let Morganna’s fellow Bloodline member Thorn do the torturing.
Hannibal turns and shouts at the fans to shut up as they cheer Thorn on. He circles and tries for a single leg but Thorn hits a crushing forearm to the back, then backs Hannibal up with brutal punches as Morganna and Ariel both applaud and cheer him on. Hannibal knees Thorn, drives him backwards into a neutral corner and buries a few shoulders to the midsection, then hits a barrage of knees and punches.
TAZZ: This is one of the few times that Thorn has been in the ring with a man who outweighs him. Hannibal has about twenty pounds on the champ!
Thorn slips in an elbow to the mouth that staggers Hannibal back and knocks him down with a clothesline!
STYLES: What a shot, he floored Hannibal with that one!
Hannibal gets up on shaky legs and Thorn hammers him back into the ropes, then sends him into the opposite ropes and gives him a back body drop! Thorn clotheslines Hannibal as he gets up, then gives him a bodyslam. Hannibal is right up but Thorn slams him a second time…then a third!
TAZZ: I can’t recall ever seeing anyone slam Hannibal with that kind of ease!
Hannibal gets up and blocks low to avoid another slam…but Thorn clotheslines him!
STYLES: The WWE champion is winning this battle of champion versus champion and Morganna is loving it.
Thorn goes to send Hannibal into the ropes but he blocks and pulls Thorn into a huge belly to belly suplex! Ariel gasps as Hannibal hooks the leg 1………………..2………….shoulder up!
TAZZ: Let me tell you it takes a lot of power and technique to hit a suplex like that on a 275 pound man.
Hannibal stomps away on Thorn, then chokes him on the ropes. Ariel shouts at the ref to count. He backs Hannibal off the ropes at four, enabling Edge to choke Thorn on the ropes!
ARIEL: TURN AROUND IDIOT!
The ref finally does but Edge has his hands up to show he is innocent. Hannibal knocks Thorn down with a big boot. 1……………………2……………shoulder up. Hannibal hits a backbreaker. 1………………………2……………….Thorn again kicks out.
TAZZ: If I was Hannibal I’d think about making a tag to keep a fresh man in but there are egos at work here too.
Hannibal tries to set up for the gutwrench powerbomb but Thorn backdrops him. Hannibal gets up and Thorn clotheslines him out of the ring!
He follows and whips Hannibal head first into the steps!
STYLES: Oh my God…Hannibal was airborne when he hits those steps!
Morganna loves it. Thorn rolls Hannibal back into the ring and follows, covering him for a two count. Thorn lifts Hannibal up and hits a sitdown jawbreaker. He shoots the half…1……………….2………….shoulder up.
STYLES: Maybe that will shut Hannibal’s mouth for a little while.
Thorn sends Hannibal into the ropes and tries to set up for a one man flapjack but Hannibal kicks him and then hits a big time clothesline. 1……………2…………..shoulder up.
TAZZ: Again one of these guys should tag. They’re both taking more punishment than they need to when they have three partners.
Hannibal Irish whips Thorn, hits a corner clothesline and then powerslams him! 1……………….2……………..shoulder up. Hannibal measures Thorn and tries to sink in a claw hold! Thorn grabs his wrist to try and block it and fights to his feet.
STYLES: This is a battle of will power and physical power!
Thorn finally lets go of Hannibal’s wrists and surprises him with a sitout spinebuster! Hannibal rolls to his stomach groaning in pain. Thorn tags in Vampiro!
TAZZ: Oh sure now Vamp wants in…you bashed Edge for this earlier Joey, tell me Vamp isn’t picking the bones now.
Vamp comes in and goes to work with kicks to the body as Hannibal gets up. Hannibal catches his foot but Vamp hits an inverted enziguri to the chin! 1…………….2…………….kickout.
Vamp backs Hannibal up with chops to the throat, then a few knees to the body. He goes for a whip into the ropes, Hannibal reverses, Vamp ducks a clothesline and comes back for a high leg lariat but Hannibal ducks!
STYLES: Well I’ll give the big jerk some credit he had that move scouted.
Mideon tags in.
TAZZ: Mideon is in for the first time in this match.
Mideon attacks Vamp with a flurry of punches, backing him into the ropes. Mideon chokes Vamp on the top rope until the count of four and then headbutts him. He goes for a whip into the ropes but Vamp reverses and pulls him into a knee to the stomach. Vamp hits a few hard kicks to the chest, then runs the ropes but the Sinister Minister trips him from the floor.
STYLES: Oh come on!
Vamp turns to try and grab Mitchell but Mideon hits a running knee to the back and Vamp flies through the ropes to the floor. Mideon says something to Edge and goes out after Vamp, ramming his head into the announce table. Edge gets in the ring and distracts the ref. On the floor Mideon holds Vamp in a front face lock while Mitchell hits him across the back with his cane!
STYLES: Come on ref!
Mideon rolls Vamp into the ring, gives him a pumphandle flip and drops a knee to the chest. 1………………2……………shoulder up. Mideon strangles Vamp with both hands.
TAZZ: The Sinister Minister is loving this. He wants Vampiro to pay for rejecting his offer of a place in the New Church.
Mideon sets up for the Eye Opener but Vamp pulls free, shoves Mideon into the ropes and hits a high leg lariat to the face as he comes back!
TAZZ: You could hear a sickening crack when that one landed!
Mideon tries to get up but falls over sideways with a dazed look in his face. He tries to stop Vamp from getting out of their part of the ring by grabbing his ankle but Vamp hits an enziguri. He falls but the Giant tags in just as Vamp tags Gangrel!
STYLES: Oh oh…
Gangrel ducks under a clothesline attempt and hits a few kicks to the leg. Giant shoves him back and catches him coming off the ropes by the throat.
TAZZ: Could be chokeslam time here!
As Giant goes for it Gangrel hooks the head to try a DDT and Giant quickly shoves him aside.
STYLES: There was a bit of a frantic reaction there from the Giant, he remembers what happened at Wrestlemania and you have to think maybe the head and neck area are not quite a hundred percent.
Giant looks angry and Gangrel smiles and gestures that he was “this close” to getting him again. Giant charges but Gangrel side steps and kicks his knee, causing him to fall against the buckles. Gangrel hits a few kicks and tags Blade.
DOUBLE SUPLEX ON THE GIANT!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
Blade goes for the pin…………1……………………2…..Giant sends him flying!
Blade goes to the top rope. He leaps as Giant gets up but the World’s Largest Athlete hits a frying pan chop in midair that sends Blade crashing violently to the mat!
TAZZ: HOLY CRAP!
Giant goes for the cover. 1………………….2…………….Gangrel kicks the Giant to make sure but Blade was able to roll his shoulder. As Gangrel gets on the apron, Giant runs over and knocks him off into the aisle!
STYLES: Talk about being sent for a dive off the apron!
Giant turns back to Blade as the ref stops Thorn from coming in. He scoops the Lost Boy up and slams him so hard that Blade bounces off the mat. He tries to get up but Giant kicks him in the side and he is sent under the ropes to the floor.
TAZZ: The Giant is so huge that even the most basic moves are devastating when he does them.
Blade gets to his feet. Giant reaches down over the ropes, grabs him by the head and lifts him right back up into the ring!
STYLES: Oh my God he is palming Billy Blade’s head!
Giant tosses Blade to the mat…and Edge tags in. Giant glares at Edge, who stomps away at the newest Bloodline member before sending him into the ropes and backdropping him. Edge taunts Thorn, who comes in…while the ref stops him Edge chokes Blade on the middle rope. Edge then runs the ropes and jumps on Blade’s back, driving his throat into the middle rope. As he stands up in pain, Edge hits the Edge-o-Matic!
TAZZ: This could be it!
He hooks the legs but Thorn runs in and boots him in the side of the head before the ref can even begin a count.
TAZZ: Ok maybe not!
Edge tags Mideon. Mideon stomps away at Blade and slams him, then goes to the middle rope. He goes for an elbow smash but Blade gets his foot up right into Mideon’s face!
STYLES: That may have been the desperation move that saves this match for the Bloodline!
Blade crawls for his corner. Mideon goes after him to prevent the tag and grabs his ankle but he is too late! Vampiro tags in and unloads with a barrage of kicks to Mideon, then sends him into the ropes and hits a roundhouse to the head. 1………….2…………Mideon kicks out. Vamp gets into the mount position and pounds away at him, then pulls him up and stuns him with a knee to the jaw. With Mideon looking to be out on his feet, Vampiro goes for the Nail in the Coffin.
TAZZ: This is a heavy man to be lifting…
Mideon slips down behind and hits a Reverse DDT! 1………………2…………………
TAZZ: He’s got him!
Shoulder up!
STYLES: Mideon used to use a reverse DDT he and his cousin Henry Godwinn referred to as a Slop Drop to win matches. Vampiro could conceivably have been pinned there.
TAZZ: He kicked out but the momentum has completely shifted now.
Mideon rams Vamp into his team’s corner and pounds away with rights and lefts before tagging Edge. He holds Vamp open and Edge connects with a hard kick to the chest, followed by a DDT. 1…………………2……………..Vamp kicks out. Edge quickly applies a double Achilles lock.
STYLES: Edge is now working on the lower extremities to try and take away the educated feet of Vampiro.
Vampiro tries to crawl to the ropes but can’t, so he fires off elbows backwards into Edge’s head to free himself. Edge lets go and stomps on the lower back, then holds Vamp open and tags in Hannibal. Hannibal kicks Vamp in the ribs and hits a quick belly to belly suplex. 1………………..2……………..shoulder up. Vamp rolls to his side, but Hannibal puts all his weight on him to hold him down and hits elbows to the ribs.
TAZZ: Vampiro’s body is being dissected bit by bit, Mideon hurt his head and neck with the reverse DDT, Edge worked on the legs, now Hannibal is going after the ribs.
Hannibal gives Vamp a delayed vertical suplex, holding him up for fifteen seconds before hitting the move!
STYLES: Hannibal is as strong as he is unpleasant to be around!
1……………………………2……………………..shoulder up. Hannibal puts Vamp in a Cobra Clutch, but Vamp has it well scouted and throws himself forward…sending Hannibal through the ropes head first into the ring post!
TAZZ: Oh man! I don’t know if Vamp intended for him to hit the post or if it just worked out better than he hoped!
Hannibal falls to the floor and is busted open! Morganna sees it and is applauding and cheering.
STYLES: Vampiro not only escaped the Cobra Clutch, he busted open the Extreme Rules Champion!
TAZZ: Maybe this will improve Vamp’s chances of getting back together with Morganna! She looks thrilled!
Vampiro makes the tag to Gangrel. Gangrel gets in the ring while Thorn runs over at ringside and throws Hannibal in to him!
STYLES: Thorn is making sure Hannibal doesn’t tag out! I think it’s obvious that they want to punish him for the things he has said about Morganna.
Gangrel unloads with a flurry of punches to the wound, sends Hannibal into the ropes and hits spinning heel kick. 1………………….2…………….shoulder up. Gangrel mounts Hannibal and punches away at the wound. He then tags in Thorn, who goes to work with big shots to the forehead before pressing Hannibal’s throat down into the ropes. When the ref backs Thorn off at the count of four Morganna hits Hannibal in the face!
TAZZ: Come on ref that ain’t right!
STYLES: Come on Tazz, Hannibal has said all sorts of disparaging things about her and boasted about having sex tapes from when they were together! He asked for it!
TAZZ: Oh so you aren’t the Joey Styles who was ripping Morganna left right and center on commentary before Wrestlemania!
STYLES: I was criticizing her actions at the time!
Hannibal stumbles away from Morganna right into a big right hand from Thorn! He stumbles into the corner where he gets punched by Gangrel, then Thorn, then Vamp, then Thorn, then Blade, then Thorn again!
TAZZ: Hannibal is like a bloody human ping pong ball!
Thorn whips Hannibal into the ropes and catches him coming back with a vicious reverse elbow to the jaw!
STYLES: Maybe if we’re lucky that shot will have broken Hannibal’s jaw and we won’t have to listen to him!
Edge starts to come in but thinks better of it when Thorn turns his way. Hannibal rolls around holding his jaw in pain. Thorn sets Hannibal up for the Crucifix Powerbomb but Edge runs in and cheap shots him! Thorn falls to one knee and Edge runs back out to the apron.
STYLES: And now he runs right back out!
TAZZ: Well he’s not the legal man!
Thorn takes a swing at Edge who jumps off the apron, then tags Gangrel while Hannibal is trying to clear blood out of his eyes. Gangrel kicks Hannibal and hits a Floatover Suplex. 1…………………..2………………..shoulder up. Billy tags in and he and Gangrel send Hannibal into the ropes, hitting a double clothesline…
GIANT RUNS IN AND CLOTHESLINES BOTH GANGREL AND BLADE!
TAZZ: Now THAT’s a double clothesline!
Hannibal is able to make the tag and now Giant is in with Billy Blade. Giant sends Blade into the ropes and launches him straight up into the air! Blade lands hard face down on the mat!
STYLES: He had to be about 9 or 10 feet in the air! Giant is over 7 feet tall and he sent Billy Blade at least a couple feet over his head!
Giant measures Blade for the big knockout punch. Gangrel runs in and attacks the Giant! Giant turns and drops him with a headbutt, then hits a boot to Blade…then Thorn runs in and hits a clothesline from the side that rocks Giant into the ropes! With Giant off balance, Thorn lifts his leg and dumps him headfirst over the ropes!
STYLES: OH MY GOD!
TAZZ: I swear I felt the vibrations in the floor from that impact!
Ariel jumps up on the apron to applaud Thorn, who heads towards her. Edge says to Hannibal, “I could hit that if I really wanted to!” Thorn hears it, turns around quickly, grabs Edge by the throat and brings him into the ring the hard way!
TAZZ: That was a bad time for Edge to start making comments about Ariel!
Hannibal comes in but is attacked by Vampiro, Mideon comes in to try and attack Vamp but Gangrel heads him off. Thorn is pounding on Edge in a corner.
STYLES: As you might expect this has turned into an all out brawl!
Hannibal sends Vamp back into the ropes and clotheslines him out of the ring, then goes out after him. Gangrel is hammering away on Mideon. Thorn grabs Edge by the throat, lifts him up and slams him down back first on the top turnbuckle.
TAZZ: Thorn wants to injure Edge!
Edge stumbles forward in pain and Thorn tries to set up for the Dark Kiss, but he slips free onto the apron and hangs the champion’s throat up on the top rope. Ariel gasps. Edge drops to the floor, pulls Thorn out under the ropes and rams him into the announce table. In the ring Mideon battles back on Gangrel, then Gangrel fires back on Mideon. Hannibal lifts Vamp up on his shoulder to slam him but Vamp slides down behind and shoves Hannibal into the barricade, then hits a clothesline that sends them both over into the crowd.
STYLES: I’ve given up trying to call all the action just as I know the referee has given up trying to control it!
Edge rams Thorn into the steps, sending him staggering while Ariel is screaming encouragement to him. Edge then grabs the ring bell. He hits Thorn right in the side of the head, sending him sprawling. Ariel lets out a gasp and shouts “COME ON KEVIN!” Edge begins to measure Thorn for a spear. Ariel is cursing Edge. Giant gets up, grabs Gangrel by the feet and jerks him out backwards under the ropes right into the barricade!
STYLES: Oh my God!
Edge goes for the Spear but Thorn sidesteps and sends him crashing into the barricade! Thorn then sets Edge’s feet on the barricade…
TAZZ: Oh no not a Dark Kiss on the floor.
Suddenly out of nowhere LOS CONQUISTADOR hits Thorn from behind!
STYLES: Where did he come from!? And why is he helping Edge, I thought all of Team Edge turned on him when he failed to get them on the card at Wrestlemania and admitted to taking out Hurricane Helms!
Thorn turns around and glares at LC who begins to back off. Edge slips down into the crowd and waits there to catch his breath. Los Conquistador tries to kick Thorn, but he catches his foot and knocks him down with a clothesline. LC quickly scrambles away on the floor as Thorn goes after him.
TAZZ: Los Conquistador might be picking the wrong guy to get revenge on.
Thorn continues to stalk LC who is now backing up the aisle. Edge climbs over the barricade and kneels near the post surveying the scene like the opportunist he is.
In the ring, Mideon scoops up Billy Blade but he swings out into a modified Tornado DDT!
STYLES: What a counter!
Mideon gets right up but Blade dropkicks him through the ropes to the apron. Vamp is brawling in the crowd with Hannibal while Morganna is watching and cheering Vamp on. Giant connects with a right hand to the mouth of Gangrel!
TAZZ: That might take out a fang!
Blade goes to knock Mideon off the apron but he ducks the right hand…
EDGE SPEARS BLADE!
1………………
2………………
3!
HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS THE TEAM OF EDGE, THE GIANT, HANNIBAL AND MIDEON!
Edge raises his hands in an obnoxious token of victory. Thorn turns and rushes back into the ring but Edge wisely bails out, waiting until he is part way up the aisle to celebrate some more.
STYLES: The ultimate opportunist has picked up the victory here tonight!
Giant walks away with a bit of a smirk, Vampiro looks at the ring in surprise while Hannibal steps over the barricade to join Edge in obnoxious celebration in the aisle, Mideon, Claudia and the Sinister Minister walk up the aisle to join them, and Gangrel is down holding his mouth in pain at ringside. Thorn stands in the ring while Blade is down holding his ribs.
TAZZ: Thorn is pissed Joey.
Thorn glares at Edge, showing his fangs, while Edge, Hannibal, the Giant and the New Church members raise their hands in triumph in the aisle…
