Axon Blade vs. 2000 Man
Winner: Axon Blade via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 7:45
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match... In this match, 2000 Man dominated, and when it looked like he was going for the Flying Spinning Leg Lariat, Dani Exell jumped up on the apron and shook the ropes, crotching 2000 Man on the turnbuckle. While the referee was repremanding Danix, Blade took advantage of the situation by grabbing Danix's purse (which she left on the opposite side ring apron) and hitting 2000 with it. All of this happened behind the referee's back and Axon Blade won after hitting 2000 Man with the loaded purse.
Trent Malady vs. Longshot
Winner: Trent Malady by DQ
Time Of The Match: 14:06
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match... This match was even all throughout, until about the 11-minute mark, which is when Trent Malady started dominating.

However, Deadpool came running out of the locker room and pulled Malady off Longshot, causing a disqualification, and a win for Trent Malady.
Nuke vs. Kontra
Winner: Nuke via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 7:34
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match... Nuke dominated this match throughout, and Kontra only had a breif 2-minute spurt of offense. It was during that spurt that Nuke caught Kontra totally suprise, hitting the FallOut and getting the pinfall victory.
Mark Kiazyk vs. Canadian Homeboy
Winner: Mark Kiazyk via submission
Time Of The Match: 0:09
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match... During Homeboy's intro, while Kiazyk was already in the ring, Homeboy took over five minutes just jumping and dancing around the ring while rapping on the mic. Kiazyk finally got fed up with Homeboy's rapping, and while Homeboy's back was turned, Kiazyk executed the Widow's Peak. It wasn't long after that that Homeboy gave it up and was left laying in the ring.
Death and Destruction vs. Shatterstar and Deathstrike
Winners: Death and Destruction via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 12:44
Title At Stake: None
Notes: This match was even, with no one team ever gaining a steady, positive advantage. The end came when Deathstrike had been knocked out on the floor and D&D executed the Frankensteiner/Power Bomb combo from the top rope on Shatterstar to get the win.
Axon Blade vs. Trent Malady
Winner: Trent Malady via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 18:47
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Round Match... The match went back-and-forth for 15-minutes, until Danix tripped up Malady after an irish whip by Blade. Malady landed right on his nose, bloodying it and possibly breaking it. From then on, Blade took advantage of this obvious weakness and connected with an Axon-Sault at the 16-minute mark. Axon went for the cover, but pulled Malady up after a two-count. Axon then went to the top and hit another Axon-Sault and again picked Malady up. After going struting around the ring a little bit, Axon went back to the top and connected with yet another Axon-Sault, right on target. After again struting for about 30 seconds, Axon went for the cover by placing one finger on Malady's chest. All of the sudden, Malady's seemingly unconcious body sprung up, and Malady grabbed Axon by the throat, catching him completely by surprise. Malady then executed the Maladjuster and got the cover, 1-2-3.
Nuke vs. Mark Kiazyk
Winner: Nuke via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 5:38
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Round Match... In yet another near-squash match, it looked like Nuke was having fun in the ring as he defeated Kiazyk again with the FallOut. Nuke seemed to have a definate advantage heading into the Final Match, as he had won two fairly quick and easy bouts, and his opponent, Trent Malady, had gone through two longer, greuling matches, not to mention Malady suffering a possible broken nose.
Pete 'The Mangler' Stevens vs. Brian Patrick
Winner: Pete 'The Mangler' Stevens by submission
Time Of The Match: 15:44
Title At Stake: None
Notes: #1 Contenders Match... In what was an even, hard-fought, back-and-forth style battle, the 'Mangler' pulled out a win by catching Patrick in his Mangler submission finishing hold. By virtue of his win, Stevens earned a World Title shot at next week's RWA event, Friday Night Fury.
Nuke vs. Trent Malady
Winner: 30-Minute Time Limit Draw
Time Of The Match: 30:00
Title At Stake: RWA World Heavyweight Title [vacant]
Notes: Tournament Final... Malady came to the ring with an obvious weakness, his taped-up broken nose. Nuke, however, did not capitalize on this weakness during the match, due to the fact that he wanted to keep the match clean and, should he win, he would not want his win enveloped in controvery. Later in the match, however, Nuke did start to capitalize on the weakness, giving Malady some jabs to the bridge of the nose, which caused Malady to lose quite a bit of blood. Some high points of this match including both wreslers kicking out of each others finishing maneuvers at different parts of the match and Malady reversing Nuke's running inverted piledriver into a 'head-spike' victory roll, which got him a 2 3/4 count. The match ended in a 30-minute time limit draw, and they will re-match next week in a Triple Threat Match with Pete 'The Mangler' Stevens for the vacant World Heavyweight Title.
Kontra vs. ICON
Winner: Kontra via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 7:34
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... A good, fair match that ends when Kontra catches ICON in the 2 Extreme, forcing the ICON to give it up. Bone-Crusher and Death & Destruction ran out and tried to attack Kontra after the match, but Kontra made his exit through the crowd without being hit.
Death Jester vs. Bishop
Winner: Death Jester by countout
Time Of The Match: 2:26
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... The match started and it was very slow. Bishop paced in his corner as Jester just stood in his with an evil grin on his face. They locked up a couple times, but Bishop just broke the hold and backed off. After about two minutes of doing this, Bishop just walked out for the countout. Bishop walked back to the locker room with his head down as the puzzled crowd booed. Just before he was about to go behind the curtain, Bishop looked back at Death Jester, who was still in the ring, with a distained look on his face, but he just walked back to the dressing room...
BeefCarver vs. Canadian Homeboy
Winner: BeefCarver via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 4:05
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... This was a better perfomace for Canadian Homeboy this week. He watched his back while rapping, but when the match did finally start, it was pretty much a squash. C-H had little to no offense, and the match ended with BC catching C-H in the Sausage Grinding and getting the easy pinfall win.
The Crow vs. Bone-Crusher
Winner: The Crow by pinfall
Time Of The Match: 8:58
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... This was a back-and-forth match that ended when the Crow caught Crusher in the Humilator, which was like Mikey Whipwreck's 'Whipper-Snapper' but with the oppenent's head in a reverse neckbreaker position. It was all over after that, with the Crow getting the 1-2-3 vitory.
Radiation Poisoning vs. Shatterstar and Deathstrike
Winners: Shatterstar and Deathstrike via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 12:47
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Radiation Posioning came out to the ring, looking confident in their RWA debut. Shatterstar and Deathstrike hit the ring in a rage of fury, and dominated Radiation Poisoning with their power moves and brawling technicques. RP did gain an advantage for a short period of time, but 'Star and 'Strike quickly bounced back, with Deathstrike eventually catching Fission in the Tombstone piledriver, which was enough for the pinfall win. By virtue of their win, 'Star and 'Strike earned their Texas Tornado match with Death & Destruction. After the match, D&D tried to attack, but 'Star and 'Strike fought them off and celebrated in the ring as RP and D&D staggered back to the locker room.
Mark Kiazyk vs. Deadpool
Winner: Deadpool via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 11:03
Title At Stake: None
Notes: U.S. #1 Contender's Match... This was an even match throughout, and was fair until Longshot showed up. Longshot paced about ringside for a while before getting involved, but while Kiazyk was on the outside and Deadpool distracted the referee, Longshot hit Kiazyk with a power bomb on the outside and rolled him back into the ring. Deadpool then set Kiazyk up and hit the Deadpool Drop from the top rope. That was all Deadpool needed for a pinfall victory.
Death Jester vs. Kontra
Winner: Death Jester
Time Of The Match: 9:12
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Round Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... Kontra put up a good fight, but couldn't overcome the power and dominance of Death Jester. Kontra was fighting for his life, and even kicked out of the Hand of Death twice, but after the third Hand of Death, Kontra couldn't continue. Death Jester won via pinfall in a greuling match.
BeefCarver vs. The Crow
Winner: No Contest
Time Of The Match: 13:04
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Roung Match/U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament... After 12 minutes of a great all-out brawl, Death Jester, along with his two hooded men and the Keeper, come out to the ring. DJ jumps in the ring, and a total brawl insues. Jester's two men and the Keeper enter the ring, and "Advantage: Jester" ... Jester and his company dominate Crow and Carver with their power moves, and Jester's catches them both with the Hand of Death. The crew leaves after about five minutes, leaving both Crow and the Carver laying in the ring. The match is declared a no-contest. After Crow and Carver are both taken out on stretchers, Kevin Zane comes out to the ring and makes an announcement. He says that neither Crow nor BeefCarver will be able to compete in the Finals of the U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament. Zane says that an appropriate replacement will be booked, and there will be a match for the U.S. Heavyweight Title tonight!
Axon Blade vs. 2000 Man
Winner: Axon Blade
Time Of The Match: 18:36
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Loser-Leaves-Town/Mask vs. Hair Match... This one was an all-out battle, but the ending was almost a repeat of last week's tournament bout between these two. Towards the end of the match, Danix distracted the referee and left her purse on the opposite side ring apron. Axon grabbed the purse, and went to hit 2000 Man with it, but 2000 ducked and took the purse from him. 2000 hit Axon with the purse, knocking him out cold. 2000 Man then pearched himself on the top rope, waiting for Axon to get up so he can execute his Flying Spinning Leg Lariat. About a minute passed, but Axon was not getting up. 2000 got down from the turnbuckle and looked at Axon, but he was not moving. After another two minutes, Axon still was not moving. Danix looked concerned on the apron, while 2000 Man knelt next to Axon, trying to hold up his head. Suddenly, Axon jumped up and rolled up 2000 for the 1-2-3. Axon then quickly ran back to the entrance way with Danix, where he met Kevin Zane with a microphone. Axon took the mic and told Zane that 2000 Man had to take off the mask. Zane went down to the ring and met a furious 2000 Man, and forced him to take off the mask. The man under the mask was none other than Extrmely Deadly Wrestling superstar Refugee. Zane said that he wished 2000/Refugee the best of luck in the future, and thanked him for leaving the RWA in a nice matter. Axon and Danix laughed in the isle as 2000/Refugee exited the ring, both very angry and upset...
Death Jester vs. Drake Martel
Winner: Drake Martel
Time Of The Match: 14:18
Title At Stake: U.S. Heavyweight Title (vacant)
Notes: Kevin Zane stayed in the ring after the 2000 Man/Axon Blade match to announce the opponent for Death Jester in the Finals of the U.S. Heavyweight Title Tournament. He announced "Fabulous One" Drake Martel as the replacement, and after Martel made his entrance with his two women by his side, Death Jester made his way out. Jester did not seem at all effected by the fact that he was facing an opponent on such short notice; He was still confident that we would be taking home the Gold. The match started with DJ dominating early, and Martel getting short, but effective, offensive spurts in one and two minute intervals. The end of the match came when BeefCarver came running out to ring with a barbed wire baseball bat and, while the Keeper was up on the apron distracting the referee, hit Jester right accros the back. Then the Crow showed up and hit Jester over the head with a steel chair, knocking him to the floor. A winded Martel then crawled over and coved Jester with his arm to win the U.S. Heavyweight Title. Drake celebrated in the ring with his two women, and one of the women actually obliged the the fans ECW Arena-like chants. (Use your imaginations on that one.) After Jester regained his conciousness, he was stark-raving mad, and ran back to the locker room to look for Crow and Carver.
Trent Malady vs. Pete Stevens vs. Nuke
Winner: Trent Malady
Time Of The Match: 25:47
Title At Stake: RWA World Heavyweight Title (vacant)
Notes: This was a great match, with some great high spots from all three competitors. This was mostly a power move match that stayed on the mat, aside from an amazing frog splash by Nuke onto both Malady and Stevens, who were stacked on top of each other in the middle of the ring. Nuke dominated both men throughout most of the match, and hit both men with the running inverted piledriver at different points in this match. At the 22-minute mark, Nuke reversed the Mangler submission hold and hit the FallOut on Stevens. That was enough for a 1-2-3 while Malady sat in the corner. A stare-down took place while Nuke stood in the middle of the ring and Malady remained sitting in the corner. The stare-down continued after Malady stood up, this time nose-to-nose. Malady delivered the first punch, and the two men brawled it out for the remainder of the match. Nuke went for the running inverted piledriver, but Malady countered it again this time, just like the week before, with a head-spike victory roll. This time, Malady did not go for the cover. He waited until Nuke fought his way to his feet, and caught him with a wicked Maladjuster, which once again brought Nuke to the canvas. Malady quickly covered for the 1-2-3. As his music blasted over the PA, Malady just eased himself over to the nearest corner, where he sat with the World Heavyweight Title belt, staring at a fallen Nuke. When Nuke regained his thoughts, he offered Malady a handshake. Malady stood up, never taking his eye off of Nuke, and just walked out of the ring... [Fade to black...]

Killer vs. CO-2
Winner: Killer via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 5:38
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round/World Television Title Tournament... This was a hard-fought, all-out brawl up until the final seconds when Killer caught CO-2 by surprise with a choke slam, and then hit his Execution Tombstone piledriver for the pinfall victory. Also, Killer carried the World Television Title belt with him to the ring, saying that if anybody wanted it, they would have to come and take it.
Chronos vs. Cpl. Punishment
Winner: Chronos via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 8:46
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round/World Television Title Tournament... This was a decent, back-and-forth match that ended when Death Jester made his presence felt while the two wrestlers were brawling on the outside. As Chronos slipped into the ring and distracted the referee, Jester slammed Cpl. Punishment onto the steel ramp with his Hand of Death and quickly left the area. Chronos brought the Cpl. back into the ring, and power bombed him before covering him and advancing in the tournament.
Canadian Homeboy vs. Longshot
Winner: Canadian Homeboy via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 8:08
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round/World Television Title Tournament... Longshot dominated this match, and picked Homeboy up several times when he could of had the victory. Longshot's cockiness proved to be costly in the long run, because as Longshot was arguing with the referee, C-H made a quick recovery and was able to catch Longshot totally offguard with his Ghetto Blaster superkick for the pinfall victory.
Joe Eastwood vs. Kontra
Winner: Joe Eastwood
Time Of The Match: 6:33
Title At Stake: None
Notes: First Round/World Television Title Tournament... During this match, Bishop stood in the aisle and watched his opponent for next week [Eastwood] make his RWA debut. As Eastwood gained control of the action, he turned his attention more to Bishop, which nearly got him pinned several times. Out of nowhere, Bishop stormed the ring and attacked Eastwood, cauing Eastwood to get a DQ win. As Eastwood and Bishop brawled back to the locker room, Kontra went crazy at ringside, destroying tables and harassing the referee and the announcers.
Death & Destruction vs. Deathstrike and Shatterstar
Winners: Death & Destruction via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 13:01
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Texas Tornado Match... This one went all over the building, and was even between the two teams until Radiation Poisoning showed up. RP and D&D double-teamed 'Strike and 'Star for the majority of the match, and they brought the battle back in the ring. While in the ring, 'Star and 'Strike mounted a comeback and brought all four opposing men to the floor. D&D and RP then signaled for something from the back. All of the sudden, the lights in the arena went out, and green lasers shined throughout the arena. A huge man walked down the aisle, and stepped into the ring. 'Star and 'Strike tried to take him out, but they had no effect on the huge man. The 7'1" tall man grabbed both men by their throats and chokeslammed them. All five men pounded on 'Star and 'Strike, and set Shatterstar up for D&D's finisher. They hit their finisher, and the referee had no choice but to count the pinfall victory. After the match, Fission grabbed a mic, and introduced the newest member of the Nation of Devistation, Gangrene...
Drake Martel vs. Deadpool
Winner: Drake Martel by pinfall
Time Of The Match: 14:52
Title At Stake: U.S. Heavyweight Title
Notes: A back-and-forth match-up throughout, and Martel had an advantage until Longshot showed up at ringside. Longshot was a thorne in Martel's side for the last few minutes of the match, until Kontra and Dani Exell of Da Messiah showed up and beat Longshot back to the locker room. This distracted Deadpool long enough for Martel to sneak up behind him and roll him up in a school-boy for the 1-2-3.
Killer def. Chronos
Winner: Chronos via pinfall
Time Of The Match: 8:44
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Round/World Television Title Tournament... A good, back-and-forth brawling match-up between these two "bad guys" that ended when Chronos caught Killer in his Gorilla Press/Legdrop combo, and then hit the Magnum Bomb for the pin.
Canadian Homeboy vs. Joe Eastwood
Winner: Canadian Homeboy
Time Of The Match: 9:37
Title At Stake: None
Notes: Second Round/World Television Title Tournament... Homeboy seemed to have his focus dead on in this match, and it was actually pretty even between the two. However, just like Longshot, the Movie Star got a little to cocky when he gained the advantage, and he was also caught offguard with Homeboy's Ghetto Blaster superkick, which led to the pinfall victory for Homeboy.
Death Jester vs. BeefCarver vs. The Crow
Winner: No-Contest
Time Of The Match: 0:00
Title At Stake: None
Notes: 3-Way Dance of Death... Death Jester made his grand entrance along with the rest of his Convenant of Death and just stood in the ring with a devilish grin on his face. The Crow then made his way to the ring, and stood face-to-face with Jester until BeefCarver's music began to play. As BeefCarver began walking down the aisle, a man dressed in a black cloak and hood (just like Sammie Curr and RIP's) jumped BC from behind with a heavy, 4 ft. steel chain. BC did his best to defend himself, but could not fight off the onslaught of the man with the chain, and the kicks of Sammie Curr, who made his way down to help the third hooded man. While that was going on, Jester attacked the distracted Crow from behind and caught him with the Hand of Death. Jester then worked on the Crow's knee, ramming it into the steel post of the ring. Jester then applied the figure-four leglock on the ringpost on the Crow while RIP pulled on the Crow's arms, making even more painful. BeefCarver and the Crow continued to be beaten down until RWA President Kevin Zane came down to the ringside area with his bodygaurd and arena security and demanded that the C.O.D. leave the area. After about three minutes of ignoring Zane, Jester and his crew, including the third hooded man, all left the area. Jester never took his eye of off Zane as he walked out with the same devilish grin on his face that was seen before the match even started. As soon as Jester left the area, Zane called for the medics to help the two fallen men in the ring. BeefCarver had to be helped out by medics, and the Crow was taken away on a stretcher while holding his knee and screaming in agony. The match never even officially started...
Chronos vs. Canadian Homeboy
Winner: Chronos
Time Of The Match: 16:48
Title At Stake: World Television Title (vacant)
Notes: Final Match/World Television Title Tournament... The crowd was really behind the underdog, Canadian Homeboy, and on several occasions it seemed that Homeboy could of won the match, but his in-experience cost him the title. On two occasions, Homeboy caught Chronos with the Ghetto Blaster, but each time, Homeboy took a considerable amount of time going for the cover, and that allowed Chronos to kick out. As Homeboy was going for the Ghetto Blaster for a third time, Chronos saw it coming and ducked under his leg. It was then that Chronos caught Homeboy totally by surprise with a devistating power slam, which is the setup move for his Magnum Bomb. Chronos executed the Magnum Bomb and got the 1-2-NO! Homeboy kicked out! However, Chronos soon executed yet another Magnum Bomb and this time he got the pin, winning the RWA World Television Title.
Trent Malady vs. Axon Blade (replacing Nuke)
Winner: Trent Malady
Time Of The Match: 12:59
Title At Stake: World Heavyweight Title
Notes: Trent Malady made his way out to the ring with the World Heavyweight Title first, and sat in the corner as Nuke began to make his entrance. As Nuke slowly made his way to the ring, Axon Blade, Kontra, and Dani Exell all jumped him from behind. Dani held Schah back as the two men beat on Nuke. President Zane quickly made his way back out to the area with his bodyguard and security. Security backed Axon and Kontra away, but Nuke was too injured to compete and had to be helped back to the locker room. Zane grabbed a mic and said that their would be a World Heavyweight Title match, and that Trent Malady would face the #1 Contender, Axon Blade. Trent seemed game, but Axon was a little aprehensive about stepping into the ring with Malady, a man who had beaten him before. Axon got a little pep-talk from Kontra and Dani Exell, who both remained at ringside during the match, and jumped into the ring. Axon gained a quick advantage, and stayed in control for most of the match. Trent did gain an advantage towards the end of the match, and when it looked like he was setting up Axon for the Maladjuster, Kontra and Danix quickly jumped in the ring, causing the DQ win for Malady. As Da Messiah were beating on Malady with the World Heavyweight Title belt, Nuke ran from the backstage area, still looking staggered, and held off Da Messiah with Malady. After Malady and Nuke fought off Da Messiah, Nuke once again offered his hand to Malady. Malady, however, did not look impressed, and just picked up his World Heavyweight Title belt, and left the area. The show ended with Nuke in the ring and Malady walking back to the locker room, both men not taking an eye of each other. Fade to black...
