Tonight 3WCW Monday Nitro comes to us live from the Palace of Auburn Hills, in Detroit. We've got an excellent card for you tonight including a 6Pack Match for the Hardcore and TV titles, Lazerus and Gravedigger go one on one for the Intercontinental Title, Rage and Venom continue their feud, this time a shot at the title is on the line and new Champion the Bossman takes on former friend, and quite possibly the most hated man in the 3WCW, Johnny Canuck. All this and much more, so let's get started........

Destroyer vs Cyco
The two men in this opening match had very different perspectives of it, Destroyer was out to hurt Cyco, while Cyco has all but blown off his opponent, concentrating on the Dangerous Duo and a possible title shot. But Cyco's looking ahead proved costly in the early going as Destroyer came out very pissed and showed he was not to be taken lightly. He hammered the Trinity leader with several lefts and rights, then took him down with a sharp clothesline. He stayed on his fallen opponent with a reverse chin lock, then after a few minutes of that decided to use his size advantage and whipped Cyco off the ropes and caught him in a bear hug, wearing down his nemesis. Cyco began to fight back though, the clapped 3 times on Destroyers ears getting him to let go. He then hit a standing drop kick taking his bigger opponent down. Cyco then went to work on his lower back with several solid kick. That wasn't enough to stop Destroyer, however, he got right back up and again began pummeling Cyco with several power moves, then tossed him to the floor, followed him out and went under the ring for a table. He set up the table and was about to power bomb the Dark Defiance member, who at his own request was not about to receive any help from his stablemates, but the ref stepped in, only to be shoved to the side and Destroyer went ahead with the power bomb right through the table. That coupled with his shoving of the official got him a DQ.
Cyco defeated Destroyer by DQ

In between matches the camera finds a familar face in the front row, this face has somewhat changed since we last saw him, his hair has been dyed blond, he's wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white Wolverine shirt, from the new X-Men Movie, a pair of dark sunglasses and a long brown trench coat, but the face is unforgettable, its the face of 3WCW Legend, Death Warrent!

Crypt Keeper/Crush vs Assassin/ Mr. Dream
This match wasnt much of a match, Keeper and Crush, looking to establish themselves as a real threat in the tag division and did a good job of it tonight. They dominated their opponents from bell to bell. Assassin and Dream were just put together by management and this may be the last time we see them together, unless theyre fighting each other. The M.O.D. members handled them easily when Keeper used to Caskets Padding to defeated Mr. Dream.
M.O.D. defeated Assassin/ Mr. Dream by pinfall.

So far tonight there hasn't been a siting of the myterious hooded man and his Crow, I wonder if he's even around. Right before the next match was set to begin this question was answered as Mr. Munno came to the ring with a note in his hands.

MM: I'm sure you're all wondering where the mysterious man is tonight and better yet, who he is, well I can't answer the second question, but I can answer the first. Earlier today, when I arrived at the arena there was a note for me, written in blood and it simply stated this, "Someday 3WCW I will return!" It was signed by the Crow. So I hope that answers are questions. Mr. Munno then returned backstage and the show continued, amazingly we've had two clean matches thus far, will the trend continue?

Judge vs X-Treme
In this match of former allies the cagey veteran showed his one time pupil why he was on top for as along as he was. He took it too the cocky Revolution member, but as the match got longer his ring rust began to show and the "X-Cellence of Hardcore" began to take advantage, XT started pounding the Judge. Hitting him with several suplexes, belly to belly, belly to back and a well executed vertical suplex. X-Treme was showing us signs that he is more than hardcore. But he made the mistake of showboating after having the former World Champion down. And that proved costly, Judge gathered his wits and snuck up behind X-Treme and hit a low blow. XT went down quick and the Law Man was setting him up for the Death Sentence, when the other half of the tag team champions, Ken Shamrock, hit the ring, with a chair in hand. The Judge turned to face him and caught a vicious chair shot and went down, the ref called for he bell and we had our second DQ of the night. But just because the match was over didn't mean that the Duo was done, they continued their assault on the Judge for several minutes, turning him into a bloody mess. Finally 3WCW officials came to the ring and stopped the attack.
The Judge defeated X-Treme by DQ.

INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH
Lazerus (c) vs Gravedigger
The IC Champ Lazerus had his work cut out for him in this one, taking on one of the all time greats in this sport, the King of Darkness, Gravedigger. But Laz, unlike his stablemates before him didn't back down. Laz came to the ring first and waited for Digger, who before climbing in the ring, headed over to Death Warrent, stood and looked dwn at him, DW stood up and it looked for a second like tempers may boil over, but the tension was relieved when the former partners shook hands. Once Digger got in the ring, Lazerus wasted no time, he was on the back of the much bigger Hall of Famer in a matter of seconds, trying to choke the big man out, that didn't work. Gravedigger simply smashed Laz in the corner, causing him to let go. As Laz sunk into a heap in the corner GD picked him up and got ready to deliver a chokeslam from hell, however Lyle "In Style" Wile wanted to see to it that his stablemate didn't suffer the same fate he did on Thunder and came running to the ring. The referee cut him off at the apron but this distraction allowed another uninvited guest into the ring, Johnny Canuck came through the crowd with a crowbar in hand and from behind laid out Digger. Laz then made the cover, Wile got off the apron, the ref turned around and counted the 1-2-3 and Lazerus scored a pinfall victory of a 3WCW legend.

Ken Shamrock vs Extreme Vic
This match pitted one half of the tag team champs against one half of the #1 contenders for the tag team titles and just like the matches on Thunder the tension was high. This time though we saw the winner of the technical match against the winner of the hardcore match and the clash of styles made things very interesting. Vic tried to use his power, strength, and hardcore edge, while Shamrock used his quickness. In the end neither prevailed. About mid way through what was a back and forth match, both X-Treme and Cyco came to the ring. And it didn't take them long to get into it, they began battling outside. Then Shamrock and Vic joined the fray on the outside. The two teams began brawling up the ramp to the dressing room and both Shamrock and Vic be Counted Out.

6 PACK MATCH FOR TV AND HARDCORE TITLES
This wild match began with 6 hungry for gold men, but in the end one remained. But before that happened we saw plenty of action. All 6 men brought their weapon of choice to the ring, to take advantage of the Hardcore rules. Mike Awesome was the first to use his when he nailed Jon Plex over the head with a garbage can, then proceeded to DDT him on top of it. However, he couldn't make a cover because Dark Dawg made sure that Awesome got what he deserved too, he came from behind with mean clothesline and took Awesome down. Meanwhile on the other side of the ring the Stylemeister and Hell Knight, members of opposing stables, double teamed the Corrupted One. Then Lyle realized who he was teaming up with and turned on HK with a low blow. Wile then moved towards the fallen Awesome and picked him up, hit a pile driver on a stop sign, and made the cover to eliminate Mike Awesome from the 6 Pack. The next one to go happened only moments later when Dark Dawg finished off Plex by using a baseball bat and a 3 count shortly after. Now we were down to 4, Wile, DD, Kaige, and Hell Knight. They paired off with Dawg taking on Wile and Kaige taking on Hell Knight. Kaige was all over the rookie, they took it out to the floor and the Corrupted One looked set to end it when once again the Millennium Man made his presence felt. Again he and his crowbar came through the crowd, again he came behind his nemesis and again he cost someone else a title. He laid out Kaige and it was legal with the Hardcore rules, he put Hell Knight on top of Kaige and the Impact Player was eliminated. So down to the final 3 and Hell Knight stayed on the outside for several minutes while Dark Dawg and Lyle Wile battled back and forth inside the ring. The two men then stopped and turned their attention to the outside where HK lay. They decided that instead of killing each other they might as well get rid of the other guy, so Dawg went outside, delivered a power bomb on the Knight for good measure and pinned him. Now we were down to the final two men, and after Wile and Dawg talked for a minute, Wile laid down and Dawg pinned him to win the match. They must have decided it didnt matter who actually won, they both wanted seperate titles. It was announced that Dark Dawg chose the Hardcore Title and Lyle Wile once again was TV Champion.

#1 CONTENDER FOR WORLD TITLE MATCH
Rage vs Venom
In the last two weeks both of these men were screwed out of the title in some way. Venom lost two titles without being pinned and Rage got cheated out of it by Venom, who helped his friend Bossman win. These two men have developed such a hate for each other and it showed in ths one. They were out for blood and didnt hide how they felt. Venom who in recent weeks has shown a much for vicious side struck first, capitalizing on Rage's laziness of telegraphing a back drop, hit a DDT on his arch rival. Rage, not the one to go down lightly, was back to his feet quickly however. He was up so quick it suprised Venom who got caught in a belly to belly suplex. The one thing about this match is that it for the most part stayed a wrestling match. Many expected it to be nothing short of a brawl, but the men kept it to wrestling amazingly. Finally after back and forth for so long, Venom took control. He scooped up Rage and delivered one of the most brutal moves in the 3WCW the Venom Spike, but before he could make a cover outcame the Dangerous Duo, they hit the ring and Venom managed to fight them off long enough for his cavalry to come, Gravedigger and Judge hit the ring as well it was pure insanity in the ring and ref had no choice but to throw the match out. Once the smoke cleared no winner was declared and we still dont have a #1 contender.
Rage vs Venom-No Contest

MAIN EVENT
WORLD TITLE MATCH
Bossman (c) vs Johnny Canuck
This match of former friends barely even got off the ground. Canuck has made alot of enemies since his return to the 3WCW and since winning the title last week Bossman has had a target on his back and it showed tonight. After only five minutes, which was highly controlled by JC. The first bit of interference came, this in the form of Ryan Kaige. He was pissed that good ole JC cost him a title earlier and was gonna make sure that he did the same. Weilding a chair, which he used on both men, he hit the ring and knocked out everyone in sight including the referee. But he immediately disappeared to the backstage area after that. And since the ref didnt know on who's behalf Kaige interfered on he let the match continue. Both men were a little light on their feet after the chair shots but they continued to fight. Bossman began to take control, using just about everything he had to wear down the Millennium Man. But once again the match was interuppted and this time it wasn't going to continue. All 5 New Revolution members stormed the ring and began to pound the two men, since they had issues with both, they were joined by Ryan Kaige who showed himself again. Kaige went straight for Canuck and hammered away with Laz's help, while the Dangerous Duo and Wile worked over Bossman. And during all this Rage simply called out orders. This drew Gravedigger, Venom, and Judge from the back and then all hell broke loose in the ring. Everyone was brawling all over the place and Canuck finally ducked outta the ring and went to leave through the crowd, but he came face to face with Death Warrent. The two men exchanged stares and then words as Nitro closed with a brawl in the ring and a confrontation out of it.
