Tonight the 3WCW comes to live from Allstate Arena in Chicago for
Thunder! We’ve got an amazing show coming up, there are 11 matches on this
awesome, PPV worthy card, including the recently added Johnny Canuck
battling his former partner the Judge, should be an interesting one. Also
we’ll see the battle between the New Revolution, Trinity, and Gravedigger,
Bossman, and Venom continue. On top of that Ryan Kaige and Jon Plex go one
on one with both titles on the line. And so much more and who knows maybe
we’ll find out who the hooded man with the Crow was!!!!! So let’s get this
party started.
Assassin vs The Destroyer
This match had all the implications to be a good one, but the newest
stable Trinity never let it get started. While Destroyer was on his way to
the ring Extreme Vic, Cyco, and Hell Knight jumped him, beating him till he
laid in a pool of his own blood, and made it so he couldn’t compete. The ref
had no choice but to award the match to the Assassin by forfeit.
Assassin defeated the Destroyer by forfeit.
Crypt Keeper/Crush vs Goldberg/John Casey
Before this match got started we had some more activity, are we ever
gonna get a match goin?! This time the lights flickered and once again high
above the arena we see the mysterious hooded man with the crow perched on
his shoulder again, just looking down on the action. All four men were a
little leary about starting the match after what the strange man did on
Nitro, but they finally got going and boy did business pick up! Crush and
Goldberg, who was with his second partner this week, turned a regular tag
match into and all out brawl. They did nothing but exchange punches back and
forth, then went to the outside where Casey and Keeper joined the fray. All
four men were going at it on the outside when the lights went off yet again.
When they came back on Goldberg and Casey were still standing and the hooded
man was still in the rafters, what is going on? Well Goldberg and Casey
didn’t really care, all they knew was they were alright, so Goldberg made
the cover, the ref counted the 1-2-3 and that was that.
Goldberg/John Casey defeated Crypt Keeper and Crush by pinfall.
#1 Contender for the Hardcore Title
Mike Awesome vs Dark Dawg
The Dawg was not pleased with having to fight Awesome for another title
shot, but after two tries management had to see if he really has what it
takes to be hardcore and he certainly showed them something early on. He
opened the match by nailing his opponent with a stop sign over the head,
when Awesome was still entering the ring! Awesome fell to the floor and this
one was on. The stop sign only dazed the Career Killer as he regained his
wits quickly and ducked another attempt by DD and the stop sign and nailed
Dark Dawg with a vicious clothesline, sending him to the floor hard. Awesome
then got a table out from underneath the ring and set it up. He placed Dawg
on it and climbed up to the top, he appeared as if he was going to splash
him, but he never got the chance, DD moved and Awesome went crashing through
the table and to the floor. This is the chance Dawg needed and he thought
about going for the cover, but decided against it, he wanted to make sure
Awesome was out. He went and got a kendo stick and began pounding on his
opponent, you could see the huge welts forming on Awesome with each shot.
Now Dawg went for the cover and got the 3 and another shot at the Hardcore
Title!
Dark Dawg defeated Mike Awesome by pinfall.
After the match Dawg was celebrating when again the spotlight showed the man
in the rafters, he hadn’t moved since the show started, what was he planning
next?
Mr. Dream vs Hell Knight-NO DQ
This match had plenty of build up going into it. These two men have been
at each other for quite sometime and after the match they had last week they
had to settle this thing once and for all. But when Mr. Dream asked for a NO
DQ match, he made a big mistake. Dark Defiance accompanied there stablemate
to the ring for this one and didn’t take long to get involved. About maybe
40 seconds into the match Cyco and Extreme Vic were in the ring. All three
Trinity members were hammering Mr. Dream, but it didn’t last too long
because The Destroyer, face covered in dry blood, charged the ring with a
sledgehammer in hand. Seeing this Trinity fled through the crowd. The ref
couldn’t do anything but throw the match out. The Destroyer stood in the
ring staring straight at Mr. Dream, it looked as if they were going to go at
it themselves when Destroyer extended his hand. Dream happily returned the
shake, only to be suckered punched by Destroyer. Destroyer was about to use
the sledgehammer when 3WCW officials hit the ring and stopped it.
Mr. Dream vs Hell Knight-No Contest
TV and Hardcore Title Match
Jon Plex (TV) vs Ryan Kaige (HC)
This match featured two of the brightest young stars in the 3WCW and both
of them put their titles up for this one. And after what the TV Champ had to
say about Kaige, this one was sure to get a little wild. And that it did,
for much of the match up, which was fought under hardcore rules, if was
evenly matched. But when they got to the outside The Corrupted One took
control. He began using his hardcore edge to bloody Plex. Things weren’t
looking to good for the TV titleholder, when he managed to pick up a bat as
Kaige was coming towards him and take out RK’s knees. Plex immediately
capitalized on it by following up with a garbage can lid to the Impact
Playa’s head, busting him open as well. Plex then rolled his opponent into
the ring and followed him in, but Kaige was quick to his feet upon entering
the ring and met Plex with a boot to the head. He was about to power bomb
the fallen Plex when again the lights went out. And when they came back on
both men were unconscious, but this time the mysterious man was standing in
the ring. He asked for a mic, removed his hood and the fans recognized him
right away, it was………….Johnny Canuck! Canuck then addressed the 20,000 plus
that were in shock by what they witnessed, “Hold on a second people, I know
you probably think that I’ve been this myterious character the whole time,
but you’re dead wrong, I just happened to find this get up backstage and
thought I’d show Mr. Kaige here that I am still the MAN! So no one get
excited, and Myterious Man, where ever you are, if you want your stupid bird
back, come get it!” Canuck then through the mic down and left the carnage in
the ring. The ref wasn’t quite sure what to do about the match, it was a
hardcore match, but both men were out cold, so Mr. Munno made his way
towards the ring and gave the official ruling, “Due to Canuck’s actions,
this match is now over and both titles are now vacant. However, they won’t
be vacant long, this coming Monday on Nitro we will see a 6 pack match with
both titles up for grabs. It will be elimination style, the remaining two
men will then complete the match and the winner will have a choice as to
which title he wants and the “runner-up” will get the other. The
participants of this match will be, Ryan Kaige, Jon Plex, Dark Dawg, Mike
Awesome, Hell Knight, and Lyle Wile. Thank You.”
Ryan Kaige vs Jon Plex-No Contest
Cyco vs Ken Shamrock-Submission Match
In the first match between Dark Defiance and Dangerous Duo members, the
technical halves of the teams squared off and they put on one of the best
technical displays this fed has seen in awhile. Shamrock started this match
off with a series of leg sweeps, showing his tremendous quickness. He then
began to work over the ankle of Cyco, readying him for the patented Ankle
Lock Submission. But Cyco wouldn’t stay down, he came back with several hip
tosses, then followed those up with and arm bar and kept the World’s Most
Dangerous Man on the mat for several minutes, trying to wear him out.
Shamrock, with the support of the crowd got to his feet and reversed the arm
bar. KS then grab his rival around the waist and delivered a vicious belly
to back suplex and while Cyco was on the mat Kenny went for the Ankle Lock,
however Cyco scooted to the ropes before it could be locked in. When
Shamrock turned around after he released it, Cyco took advantage, hitting a
mean running clothesline that sent Shammy to the mat hard. He then went to
the arm bar again, but Shamrock pulled one of the most amazing reversals
ever seen and ended up with the Ankle Lock locked in. After a few seconds
Cyco could no longer take the pain and was forced to tape out, giving the
New Revolution member the suprisingly clean win.
Ken Shamrock defeated Cyco by submission.
Gravedigger vs Lyle “In Style” Wile
The Hall of Famer finally broke his silence this week and promised to bury
the Stylemeister and looked like he was gonna keep his word in the early
going. Just like everyone that has battled the King of Darkness since his
return, Wile was scared out of his mind, till he knew he had no choice but
to fight, if that’s what you wanna call it. Digger manhandled In Style,
tossing him from one corner to the next and delivering slam after slam,
until good ole Trish distracted the ref and Lyle hit a low blow on the big
man, then the tide turned. Wile began hammering away on the legend, hitting
lefts and rights on his fallen opponents head. He then picked him up and
planted him again with a DDT. Digger was in trouble, until the Stylemeister
started jawing with the fans. This gave GD time to regain his thoughts and
when Wile turned around he walked right into the waiting hand of the King of
Darkness. What happened next probably will give Lyle nightmares for awhile,
the Chokeslam from Hell was delivered with authority, it was so hard that
Wile began shaking on the mat, this one was over. Or so we thought, before
Digger could make the cover, the Millennium Man made another appearance,
this time sneaking in through the crowd and grabbing a chair on his way into
the ring. He nailed Digger with the chair then followed it up with a
Millennium Mark on the big man. The ref called for the bell Disqualifying
Lyle Wile. Before anyone could leave the ring though, the lights went out
and when they came back up everyone was laid out. When Canuck got up he was
mighty pissed and looked into the camera and said that it wasn’t over yet.
Gravedigger defeated Lyle Wile by DQ
Extreme Vic vs X-Treme-Table Match
In round 2 of Dark Defiance vs Dangerous Duo we saw the hardcore end of
each team in match selected by Vic, somewhat anyway, he asked for a Flaming
Tables match, however the 3WCW could not sanction such a match and it was
reduced to the match we saw, which didn’t disappoint either. Immediately
following the opening bell both men wewnt straight the outside and got a
table from under the ring, hardcore minds think alike. Vic set his up
outside, while XT set his up in the ring. XT then got a running start and
delivered a suicide dive over the top rope to his opponent on the arena
floor, what a way to get things going. The X-Cellence of Hardcore then
continued his assault by giving an Irish Whip into the post, followed
closely by a clothesline, at this point it looked as if we found our real
X-Treme. But that was not the case. Vic fought back, thumbing XT in the eye,
the slamming his head off the barricade. He then took the action back into
the ring, only he brought a chair in with him. After 4 solid chair shots, XT
finally went down. Vic scooped him up and placed him on the table, he then
began to climb the turnbuckle, and as he jumped off the top X-Treme moved
and Extreme Vic went crashing through the table. But because the rules state
that you have to put your opponent through the table the match continued on.
XT then picked up the chair and began assaulting Vic. Then sound of his
skull hitting the steel was painful, just to listen to, after seemingly
knocking Vic out XT went and got another table. He set this one up right in
the middle of the ring and looked as if he was gonna X-Cite his nemesis, but
before he could do that Cyco hit the ring with a bat and laid out the
Revolution member. He then got a gas can out from under the ring, doused the
table in gas, lit it on fire and Vic and Cyco together delivered their
variation of High Times (double choke slam) to XT through their Flaming
Table and Vic got the win.
Extreme Vic defeated X-Treme
IC Title Match
Lazerus © vs Venom
This match has been in the making for sometime now, these to men have
quite a history together and this would be the “rubber match” so to speak.
And Laz had to prove he was better than his nemesis, he was driven to do so.
And throughout the course of the match it was tough to tell. These two
wasted no time getting into it. The immediately went at it, right from the
bell fists were flying, each man shrugging off the others punch to hit his
own. Laz then put Venom in a side headlock, only to be pushed off the roped
by his rival, after a leap frog by Laz the men collided, a double
clothesline sent both men down. Venom was to feet first, he picked up his
opponent and hit a brain buster on him, then picked him up again and
signaled for the Venom Spike. This brought Revolution members Ken Shamrock
and Rage from the back, Shamrock got on the apron to distract the ref and
Rage got in the ring, hit the Outrage Bomb on Venom, laid Laz on top of him
and when the ref turned around he counted the 1-2-3. Lazerus retained his
title and Venom once again got screwed.
Lazerus defeated Venom by pinfall.
Lazerus retained the IC Title.
The Judge vs Johnny Canuck
This match had the potential to steal the show. These two men are both
very skilled veterans and have been around the block a few times, they know
each other very well and that’s why Mr. Munno booked this one, he wanted to
give Canuck his match and he wanted to entertain the great fans of the 3WCW.
And that they did. As this match was starting a camera showed the hooded man
back in the rafters, without his Crow, but while the camera was on his he
turned and walked away, what was gonna happen here? Anyway, back in the
ring, Judge and Canuck circled each other several times before they got in a
collar and elbow tie up. Judge took control first with a side headlock,
Canuck then threw a few elbows into Judge’s midsection to loosen the hold
and picked him up for a belly to back suplex. Judge was quick to his feet
and delivered a hip toss, but JC sprung up, for every move the other man
recovered quickly, or had a counter. Until JC got dirty and hit a low blow.
This put the Judge at a major disadvantage as Canuck then began working on
his legs and lower back, stomping away, softening him up for the Canadian
Death Lock. The Law man managed to get over to the ropes and pull himself
back to his feet and hit several kicks into JC’s stomach, followed by a
Double Arm DDT. Judge then went to the reverse chin lock, trying to keep the
bigger Canadian on the mat. He released the hold and Canuck slowly got to
his feet. Judge proposed a test of strength, which the Millennium Man gladly
obliged to, knowing he had the advantage. However, Judge decided to play the
same game Canuck did, using a swift kick to hit a low blow. Now Judge was in
control for sure, he hit a brutal power slam on his opponent, then set him
up in the corner for and irish whip, but Canuck reversed it. And as Judge
came stumbling out of the corner JC grab him around the throat and hit the
Millennium Mark. He was about to go for the Canadian Death Lock when the
Corrupted One, Ryan Kaige hit the ring. He attacked Canuck with a steel
chain, wrapping it around his neck, choking him down. Then while Canuck was
down, writhing in pain and the Judge still out from the Millennium Mark,
Kaige grabbed the mic and had this for Canuck and his opponent tonight, “See
guys, you’re just too damn old, give it up, and don’t f*ck with Ryan
Kaige.!” He then spit on JC, threw the mic down and left.
The Judge vs Johnny Canuck-No Contest
MAIN EVENT
World Title Match
Rage © vs Bossman
In a battle of two men that have clawed their way to the top of the 3WCW,
Rage, who now considers himself a God, took on perhaps the most unrecognized
man in the fed. Bossman has held all but the title he was going after and
has never, in a year and a half, received the respect he deserved and he was
out to earn it tonight. However, Rage is a tough man to gain respect
against, especially with is new attitude and his stablemates waiting in the
wings. But the LAW from Cobb County did his best to try, but Rage was too
much early on. He used his entire arsenal on the Bossman, from DDT’s to
belly to belly suplexes, he showed it all and showed why he was the
Champion. Just when Bossman looked to be down and out Rage made a big
mistake, he didn’t just cover his opponent. He decided to show boat, strut
around the ring, and jaw with the fans, giving Bossman just enough time to
clear the cob webs and get to his feet, the crowd began to cheer and Rage
thought it was for him and he backed up right into a pissed off former
prison guard. Bossman dropped the champ with a solid right, then as Rage got
up and came at him, he hit a big body slam, Bossman was rolling now. He
backed Rage into the corner and sent him towards the opposite side of the
ring, only the ref was in the way and got knocked unconscious after the
collision with the Revolution Leader. But that didn’t make a difference to
the former IC champ, he sent Rage off the ropes, but made a big mistake of
his own and telegraphed a back body drop, Rage capitalized and just like
that hit the Outrage Bomb, only problem, no ref to make the count. Then all
of a sudden through the crowd appeared Venom, hit came in behind Rage turned
him around, hit the Venom Spike, pulled Bossman on top of Rage, rolled the
ref over and he made the 1-2-3 count! Bossman was the new 3WCW World
Champion and Venom screwed Rage right back! As Bossman celebrated in the
ring he was joined by a few of his allies in the 3WCW, Judge, Gravedigger,
and Venom helped him celebrate. Then once again the lights went out again
and when they came back on, everyone in the ring, including Rage who had
just gotten back to his feet, were laid out and the hooded man stood over
then once again. Only this time Canuck charged the ring and right before he
got there the lights flickered and a cloud of smoke filled the ring, when
the smoked cleared the mysterious man was gone. The show closed with Johnny
Canuck standing with a confused look in his face.
Bossman defeated Rage by pinfall.
Bossman won the 3WCW World Title.
