WWAW PPV: Deadly Sins
Aired Live on 2/25/2001
(Botch "O Fortuna" plays, as we see the opening video for Deadly Sins. The fireworks are going off, and the fans are on their feet in the MCI Center in the nation's capital. We are treated to the voice of a new person working for WWAW, Trent Rutherford.)
Rutherford: Welcome everyone, to the MCI Center for Deadly Sins! I'm Trent Rutherford, and I'll be joining the WWAW team, along with Katie Haynes. Speaking of Katie Haynes, she participated in a photo shoot for Maxim magazine this past week.
(We see clips of Haynes posing for Maxim, showing herself off in front of the camera. We then cut to the Perfect Event's locker room, and as they are about to leave, Stasiak's eyes, catch the monitor.)
Stasiak: Holy--
Palumbo: Damn it Shawn, let's go.
(Palumbo has to literally drag Stasiak out of the room and towards the ring.)
(Meanwhile, in a control truck backstage...)
J. Hardy: Hey, play this during our match tonight.
(Jeff tosses one of the technicians a tape, then leaves the truck.)
(Back at the ring, "The Stroke" hits, and the Perfect Event come down to the ring.)
(The Hardyz' music plays, and the Hardyz come down to the ring for the first match of the night.)
Match #1:
The Perfect Event
vs.
The Hardyz
The Good: The Perfect Event, more specifically Shawn Stasiak, didn't seem to be disturbed by the clip of Haynes in Maxim, as they were wrestling great in the early goings.
The Bad: The Hardyz lacked off for a portion of the match, maybe they were plotting something?
The Finish: Jeff Hardy and Chuck Palumbo fought on the outside. As Stasiak hit a big clothesline on Matt, a video loop of the sexy pictures of Haynes in Maxim was shown. Stasiak, obviously turned on, was distracted by this, and Matt took advantage, hitting a dropkick, followed by a Splash Mountain. Palumbo tried to get back to the ring in time, but it was too late, and the Hardyz got a big win.
The Hardy Boyz defeated The Perfect Event when M. Hardy pinned Shawn Stasiak
after the Splash Mountain in 0:04:02.
Rating: 1/4*
After the match, Palumbo and Stasiak argued, as the Hardyz continued to celebrate as they left ringside.
(A video package is shown, documenting the debut of Michael Modest, and Bagwell's obvious dislike towards him. Also shown are the numerous sneak attacks both men pulled, leading up to this match.)
Rutherford: This is a big opportunity for Modest. A win tonight would definetly give him the extra boost to be one of the better wrestlers on the roster of WWAW.
("Shout 2000" plays, and Michael Modest comes out to boos.)
Rutherford: And here he is now, Michael Modest, a man who made his debut only about 2 weeks ago.
("We Be Clubbin'" plays, and Buff Bagwell comes down to the ring.)
Rutherford: ...and here's Buff Bagwell, the definite fan favorite for this match.
Match #2:
Michael Modest
vs.
Buff Bagwell
The Good: Both men were pumped for this match, and it showed. Modest pulled out some big moves, but Bagwell, not to be outdone, practically used every move of his arsenal against Modest.
The Bad: For some odd reason, Buff Bagwell seemed to be exhausted near the end of the match, but we couldn't exactly tell you why.
The Finish: Modest hit a clothesline, then a Exploder suplex, and went for the cover.
One, two, kickout.
A kick, followed by a fisherman buster, got the crowd wanting to get behind Bagwell, but Modest picked up the body of Bagwell, slumped him over his shoulder, and hit the Air Raid Crash.
One, two, three! What an upset!
Michael Modest pinned Buff Bagwell with the Air Raid Crash in 0:06:10.
Rating: * 3/4
After the match, Modest decided he hadn't had enough, and hit the Air Raid Crash again on Buff Bagwell for good measure.
Rutherford: What a cowardly attack! Here's a clip about the history of Scott Norton and Mantaur.
(We see clips of Mantaur brutally attacking people, Norton powerbombing Mantaur through a table, and more.)
Rutherford: Well, this next match promises to be explosive. Both men are very powerful, and factoring in a table to this kind of match is just making matters worse.
("Machinehead" plays, and Mantaur comes out to boos.)
("Fuel" plays, and Norton comes out to a larger amount of boos.)
Match #3:
Table Match
Mantaur
vs.
Scott Norton
The Good: Neither men wanted to give up. This was a match for both men's pride. Both men gave it their all.
The Bad: Their work ethic didn't go over too well with the fans.
The Finish: Mantaur tried to splash Norton through the table, but he moved, but it was a defensive move, so the match continued. Mantaur had a table behind him, and Norton ran against the ropes and, as Mantaur got up, bodypressed Mantaur through the table for the win.
Table No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Scott Norton defeated Mantaur by putting him through a table in 0:16:30.
Rating: -3/4*
After the match, Norton grabbed Mantaur, and dragged him to the table where Trent Rutherford was sitting, and told him to get out of the way. Norton got all the energy he had left, and Powerbombed the hell out of Mantaur through the table. The fans went crazy for Norton, and started a ECW like chant of "HOLY ****! HOLY ****!". Norton returned to the ring, and celebrated his win as the fans chanted "Norton, Norton".
Backstage Interview
(Katie Haynes is with Jeff Jarrett.)
Haynes: Jeff, tonight is your big night, as you face Chavo for your Heavyweight Title.
Jarrett: Katie, tonight, it's time to get redemption on Chavo. It's time to get back at that slapass after Turbo, and that's something I plan on doing. (Jarrett shows his guitar to the camera) See this guitar, Chavo? No matter what match we are in, this guitar will be cracked over your head. Then, I'll win the match, no matter what the stipulation is. If you don't like it, you can choke on it.
(Jarrett walks off.)
(We go back to ringside, where Trent Rutherford is sitting at a table, instead of his regular announcing table, which was broken just a few minutes ago, thanks to Norton and Mantaur.)
Rutherford: Folks, after our last match, it'll be hard to top the quality of wrestling tonight. However, we'll try our best to please the fans. Let's go backstage, to where, I hear, Mantaur is getting checked out for any possible injuries.
(Backstage, a medical attendant is checking on Mantaur.)
Attendant: Just follow the light with your eyes.
Mantaur: No, I've got business to do.
(Mantaur knocks the mini-flashlight out of the Attendant's hand, and walks out of the locker room.)
Rutherford: Hmm, I wonder what Mantaur is up to.
("Greyhound Pt. 2" plays, and Rikishi comes out to boos. He enters the ring, and stands on opposite turnbuckles, getting even more boos from the rabid crowd in D.C.)
("Crush 'Em" plays, and the fans get on their feet, because they know that that music can only mean one man is on his way to the ring. Sure enough, Goldberg pops out of the entryway, to one of the loudest pops of the night. Almost automatically, "GOLDBERG" chants start, but Goldberg seems to ignore everything going on around him, as he seems focused on taking out Rikishi tonight.)
Match #4:
Bill Goldberg
vs.
Rikishi
The Good: There were other matches to compensate for this horrible match.
The Bad: The finish, and the short time of the match.
The Finish: Rikishi worked on Goldberg for the duration of the match, and Mantaur came to the ring...! Mantaur grabbed a chair and sat down at ringside. Rikishi missed a savate kick, and as Goldberg ran into the ropes, Mantaur was already up on his feet, with the chair folded, and cracked it over Goldberg's skull, causing the ref to ring the bell.
Bill Goldberg defeated Rikishi Phatu by disqualification in 0:02:49.
Rating: 1/2*
The fans immediately exploded in boos and chants of "BULL-****! BULL-****!" as Mantaur entered the ring. Rikishi wasn't happy with Mantaur's interference, and tried to attack Mantaur, but Mantaur just turned around and clocked Rikishi with the same chair he nailed Goldberg with. Mantaur then worked on Goldberg again, hitting a bodyslam, followed by the Stampede, leaving Goldberg breathless, and rightfully so, since 450+ pounds came crashing down on his body. The fans chanted "GOLDBERG" to get him to get a second wind, but it was futile. Mantaur laid the chair on Goldberg's face, and hit a big legdrop on it, just making the D.C. crowd boo even louder. Mantaur then asks for a mic.
Mantaur: Goldberg, did you think this was over? This is FAR from over. I'm gonna punish you, and make you feel what pain really feels like.
Mantaur then threw down the mic and left the ring, to an explosive amount of boos.
(A "Best of Steve Corino" clip is shown, showing Corino's MANY wins, and MANY Superkicks.)
Rutherford: Well, if Corino can repeat a performance he's performed 20+ times before, he'll earn the respect of the WWAW locker room, and may get the extra boost his career needs. But to do that, he'll have to get past Chris Jericho. Though Corino has walked through bigger men than Jericho, Jericho's overall athleticism will prove to be a tough test for the King of Old School, so, without further delay, let's go to the ring for the match.
("Come With Me" plays, and the fans boo as Steve Corino comes down to the ring. He seems very focused, and does not let the boos and chants of the fans phase him. He slides in the ring and just waits in the corner, waiting for...)
("Break The Walls Down" ... Jericho! The fans get on their feet as Y2J enters the MCI Center. Jericho soaks in the cheers of the fans for a few seconds, then charges the ring, to start the match between him and Corino!)
Match #5:
Steve Corino
vs.
Chris Jericho
The Good: Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. Both men were spectacular. Many near falls and high impact moves kept the crowd in it, and boy, was the crowd ever in this match.
The Bad: Excuse me? There wasn't anything bad at all in this match.
The Finish: Corino hit a clothesline and called for his old finisher, the Old School Expulsion, but Jericho managed to slip away and counter it with a swinging neckbreaker, followed by the Lionsault, and a cover by Jericho.
One, Two, Kickout.
Jericho then picked Corino up, and went for a powerbomb, probably the first of two, but Corino backdropped Jericho, hit a elbowdrop, and went to the top. This time, Corino tried a FLYING elbowdrop, but Jericho rolled out of the way, but couldn't get to his feet, leaving both men on the ground. Jericho and Corino got to their feet at pretty much the same time, and Jericho kicked Corino in the gut, whipped him into the ropes, and hit a DDT, leaving Corino near the ropes. Jericho hopped the ropes, and then, from the apron, slingshotted himself over the top rope, did a 180 spin, and landed on Corino, and went for a pin at the same time.
One, Two.. Three! What a match!
Chris Jericho pinned Steve Corino after a slingshot splash in 0:16:09.
Rating: ****
After the match, Jericho celebrated a little, but then helped Corino to his feet, and offered to shake his hand. Corino accepted, and the crowd popped as Corino and Jericho shook hands.
Rutherford: Well, if the rest of the WWAW Locker Room doesn't respect Corino, at least one person does, and that's Jericho.
As Jericho walked out of the ring, Corino ran up and clotheslined him from behind. The crowd booed like crazy, as Corino picked up Jericho and hit him with the Old School Expulsion, leaving Jericho sprawled out in the middle of the ring. Corino flipped off the crowd, leaving the crowd even more wanting to kick his ass.
Rutherford: After that cowardly act, I don't know what to say. But, for the ending, the rest of the match made up for it. Now, I hear that, backstage, we are about to have a drawing for what the match will be later tonight between Jeff Jarrett and Chavo Guerrero Jr., for the WWAW Heavyweight Title.
(Backstage, WWAW President Jake Ryder and a WWAW Official, who we don't know, nor care the name of, are standing near a tumbler, with slips of paper in plastic containers easily visible through the see through mesh of the tumbler.)
Ryder: Right now, I would like to draw out the match that will be held for the WWAW Heavyweight Title. The match I draw will be the match that Chavo Guerrero Jr. and WWAW Champion Jeff Jarrett will compete in.
Mr. Chavez, if you will.
(Mr. Chavez, the WWAW official, spins the tumbler, and stops it. President Ryder reaches in the tumbler and pulls out a container, and opens it, reading the piece of paper.)
Ryder: Tonight... the two men in the main event... will be facing off in a...STRETCHER MATCH! One of these men will leave here on a stretcher, and one man will leave with the WWAW title.
(We then go back to ringside with Trent Rutherford.)
Rutherford: Wow! So tonight, in the main event, after this upcoming match, Jarrett and Guerrero will square off in a stretcher match. The rules of the match are simple. The person who puts his opponent on the stretcher is the winner. For now, let's go to the ring for the WWAW Tag Team Title Match.
Match #6:
WWAW Tag Team Titles Match
Kronic (c)
vs.
Vampiro and The Great Muta
The Good: Vamp and Muta did their best, and Kronic managed to stay away from sucking too bad.
The Bad: Kronic didn't try too hard not to suck, and they did suck pretty bad tonight.
The Finish: Brian Adams attacked Vampiro on the outside, distracting the ref, but inside the ring, Muta misted Clark in the eyes, and hit the Moonsault and went for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE! NEW CHAMPS!
Vampiro and The Great Muta defeated Kronic when Muta pinned Bryan Clark
with the Moonsault in 0:17:00.
Rating: * 3/4
(Vampiro and The Great Muta won the WWAW World Tag Team Titles.)
Rutherford: And we have new tag champions, here tonight! Congratulations to Vampiro and Muta on their big win! Now. 2 weeks ago, Jeff Jarrett gave Chavo Guerrero Jr. a shot at the World Title, with a chance to be in a match with him at Deadly Sins. However, Chavo was chosen, and Jarrett chose him after attacking him with a guitar shot, a Stroke, and a top-rope DDT, in no particular order. Here's a nice little package we have compiled for this match.
(Clips are shown, starting with the tag team main event on WWAW TV, where Jarrett won the match, and then DDT'ed Chavo off the top rope, and broke a guitar over his head, and then chose him for the match at Deadly Sins. Then, a clip is shown of the non-title match between Chavo and Jarrett, which Chavo won in upset fashion. Then the screen is split in half, showing a picture of both competitors, with Jarrett vs. Chavo in metallic letters in the middle.)
Rutherford: Folks, get ready for a great match. This should not disappoint the fans here in Washington, D.C., and shouldn't.
(We see a shot of medical attendants bringing in a stretcher.)
("One Step Closer" plays, and the fans cheer as Chavo Guerrero Jr. comes out of the entryway. He walks down the aisle, passing the medical attendants on his way, and entering the ring.)
(COWBOY....COWBOY...the fans explode in boos, as the Chosen One comes out. He enters the ring after passing the medical attendants, and hops onto the second rope with his guitar in hand as pyros go off. We see a shot of Chavo watching the entrance on the outside of the ring, and as Jarrett got ready, he beckoned Chavo to come get some of him. He did, and the match began!
Match #7:
Main Event
For the WWAW Heavyweight Title
Stretcher Match
Jeff Jarrett (c)
vs.
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
The Good: Once the bell sounded, the fans got wild, because they knew this match would be great. And the two competitors in this match didn't disappoint. They both went at it, and many times, came very close to putting each other on the stretcher. Some fans made it seem like the match would never end, but most knew, that it had to end sometime.
The Bad: Some may think the stretcher addition to the match brought down its luster, as the one-on-one match on Turbo was better. However, aside from that minor fault, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
The Finish: Jarrett whipped Chavo into the ropes, but Chavo came back with a cross body press, and then hit a dropkick on Jarrett as he got up. Jarrett got up again, only to get clotheslined. Jarrett got up a 3rd time, and got a DDT, which got Chavo to the point where he wanted to go for the Tornado DDT, to possibly finish Jarrett off. He chucked Jarrett into the turnbuckle, and then hopped onto the top as he set up Jarrett for the Tornado DDT...and he hit it! Now all Chavo had to do was place Jarrett on the stretcher, and he'd be WWAW Champion! Chavo picked up Jarrett, and chucked him to the outside, just feet away from the stretcher. Chavo slid outside the ring, and got ready to put Jarrett on the stretcher, but Jarrett mule kicked Chavo down low, and it didn't matter, since it was No DQ anyways. Jarrett chucked Chavo into the steps, and then tossed him into the ring. Jarrett then picked up Chavo, and hit the Stroke. Jarrett then grabbed his guitar, and taunted Chavo to get up. Slowly, yet surely, Chavo got to his feet, but saw the guitar shot coming, and ducked it, as Chavo kicked Jarrett in the gut as he turned around and hit a desperation brainbuster! Both men were down. As both men got to there feet, Chavo was the closest to the guitar, and grabbed it, and then tried to hit Jarrett with it as he got up. However, Jarrett saw Chavo's shot coming, and blocked that with a kick to the midsection, then stole his guitar back, and BOOM! EL KABONG ON CHAVO! The fans booed Jarrett as he signaled for the end. Chavo got whipped into the ropes, but Chavo reversed it and hit a dropkick, sending Jarrett dangerously close to the ropes nearest to the stretcher. Chavo waited for Jarrett to get up, and looked to clothesline Jarrett over the ropes, and on to the stretcher, winning the title. Unfortunately, Chavo ran towards Jarrett, and Jarrett bent over, backdropping Chavo some 6-7 feet into the air, and over the top rope. Chavo took a nasty bump, but missed the stretcher by INCHES. Jarrett celebrated, and asked for his belt, but the ring announcer told him to turn around. As he turned around, he saw Chavo rattle out a flurry of punches, and then whip Jarrett into the ropes. Chavo went for a clothesline, which Jarrett ducked, ran against the ropes, and hit a clothesline of his own! Jarrett picked up Chavo and tried to chuck him over the top rope, but, almost like Chavo was in a Royal Rumble, Chavo held on to the top rope, and tried to come back in. He was successful, and hit a DDT on Jarrett when Jarrett tried to do it again.
Jarrett rolled on the outside of the ring, and got a chair by the ring announcer, and tried to go back into the ring with it, but Chavo came at him with a baseball slide, knocking the chair into Jarrett's face! Chavo grabbed the chair, and went on the outside, but Jarrett blocked a chair shot, grabbed the chair, shoved Chavo away, and, while Chavo tried to gain his footing from the push, Jarrett clocked Chavo HARD. I mean, Chavo just slumped down after the shut. Jarrett, taking advantage of a golden opportunity, dragged Chavo around the ring, and, to add insult to injury, put Chavo on the apron, then went up on the apron himself, and hit a Stroke from the apron, onto the stretcher, where Jarrett hit the floor and Chavo hit the stretcher. The bell rang, and, by god, after all that, Jarrett retained his title.
Stretcher No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Jeff Jarrett defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in 0:18:07.
Rating: **
(Jeff Jarrett retained the WWAW World Heavyweight Title.)
Jarrett grabbed his title, to the dislike of the fans, and celebrated with it, tired as hell. Scott Norton came out to ringside, and celebrated with Jarrett, and then Norton hoisted Jarrett up on his shoulders, making the crowd even more pissed that Jarrett was bragging about his close win. However, Norton surprised the entire crowd in the MCI Center, dropping Jarrett on his face! The crowd was shocked, then exploded in cheers! Norton, with a mean look on his face, knocked Jarrett to the apron, then knocked him off with a shoulderblock, sending him flying, back-first, onto the table! It didn't break, but Norton stepped through the ropes, grabbed the prone Jarrett... and POWERBOMBED HIM STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE! MY GOD! MY GOD! NORTON HAS ENDED HIS PARTNERSHIP WITH JARRETT!
Rutherford: WOW! Can you believe what just happened?!?! That's earth-shattering news to the WWAW, as the title picture just got a lot more interesting. We hope you enjoyed tonight's show, Deadly Sins. For Katie Haynes and everyone backstage in the WWAW, I'm Trent Rutherford, saying SEE YOU ON TUESDAY!
(We end with a picture of Norton yelling and screaming to the fans, who are chanting his name "NORTON, NORTON!")
(We then see a promo, voiced over by Trent Rutherford.)
Rutherford: In March, 16 men will fight on WWAW shows, in a special tournament. Their one goal is to finally capture the WWAW World Title. Some have been there, done that when it comes to shots at gold, but, come next month, one man left standing after 15 men, will become the undisputed #1 contender. There may be alliances in WWAW, but they should all be forgotten.
(Fade to black.)
**END OF SHOW**
After working on this practically all night, I feel so satisfied.
