both on the line, and the World title is up for grabs in a 3 Way Dance!
Let's get started!!!!
Challenge Match
Mike Awesome vs Crush
In the opening match of the night we saw perhaps two of the
quietest men on the roster in Awesome and Crush. Awesome came back last week
and promised to produce, but we haven't seen much of him since and Crush has
been MIA for a few months now and Crypt Keeper has been carrying the team.
Well as it turned out both men were very lathargic in the ring, but as soon
as it went to the floor business really picked up. They began brawling and
ended up fighting all the way up the ramp and into the back, they were both
counted out, but when they got to the backstage area M.O.D. was waiting for
Awesome and they put a monster beating on him, leaving him in a puddle of
blood.

Challenge Match
Mr. America vs John Casey
These two 3WCW superstars have both just returned from long
vacations and were both out to prove something in the one. Mr. America was
kind of leary of Casey in the early going due to his unstable mental
capacity. But once they got going the Patriotic one had no trouble taking it
right too him. And after several minutes in control America took some time
to salute the flag and it proved costly, this time allowed Casey to clear
the cobwebs and go on the attack. He hit America with a vicious clothesline
then went to work on his lower back by stomping away on it, then applying a
variation on the camel clutch. America eventually reached the ropes but
Casey refused to break the hold. The ref had to pry Casey off and as the
official was warning the crazy one Dr. Scott came over by Mr. America and
drilled him with his cane. Casey then made the cover and got the 3 count and
the victory.
John Casey defeated Mr. America by pinfall
Hardcore Title Match
Dark Dawg (c) vs The Judge
This match has been in the making since the Judge returned and
the Dawg took exception to it. The Dark one has been quite cocky as of late
and the former World Champion was looking to put him in his place as well as
work his way back up the ladder here in the 3WCW. And he certainly put DD in
his place in this one. Judge dominated this match from the opening bell.
First hitting the Hardcore Champ with his arsenal of power moves then using
his Hardcore edge and going for weapons. The veteran grabbed a chair from
ringside and hammered away on Dawg, when he was finished the chair was
dented so badly that you could actually see Dawg's face pattern in it. Just
as the Judge was set to hand down the Death Sentence the Dangerous Duo hit
the ring. X-Treme hit the Judge with a baseball bat and then with the X-Cite
while Shamrock revived Dark Dawg. The Duo then put Dawg on top of Judge and
fled the ring. With a very confused look on his face the ref counted 1-2-3.
Dark Dawg defeated the Judge by pinfall
Dark Dawg retained the Hardcore Title
Challenge Match
Crypt Keeper vs The Destroyer
The Destroyer who has been on a path of destruction lately
continued his path on Thunder tonight. The big man once again took control
early on, but just like his last few matches one mistake took his momentum
away as quickly as he got it. This time is was a missed clothesline, when he
missed the clothesline he turned around and was met by a series of solid
rights and lefts that eventually took him down. Crypt Keeper then tried to
keep the monster off his feet by working a hammer lock very tightly.
However, this man would not be denied. He worked his was over to the ropes
and got the break. He then wrapped his hand around the throat of the the
Crypt Keeper and delivered a monsterous chokeslam. He then picked him up and
power bombed him for good measure, made the cover and got the impressive
win. As he was celebrating his rivals the Trinity hit the ring and began an
all out assault on his, Hell Knight leading the charge. The beating
continued for several minutes till 3WCW officials were able to chase the
Trinity to the back.
The Destroyer defeated Crypt Keeper by pinfall
Challenge Match
Ryan Kaige vs Gravedigger
As the Corrupted One said these two have one thing in common
and that one thing had nothing to do with this match. These two superstars
went at it tooth and nail all match long. Back and forth no one taking a
definite advantage, until about mid way through when Death Warrent took his
seat at ringside. This distracted Kaige and the King of Darkness took
control. He sent Kaige into the corner and followed it up with a monster
clothesline. He then set the Impact Playa up on top and delivered a huge
superplex that damn near sent Kaige through the mat. Digger then went over
to DW and shook his hand, thinking he had time with Kaige down. Kaige,
however, recovered quicker than anyone thought, and when the Legend came
back to him the Corrupted One played opossum. When Digger bent down to pick
him up Kaige used a thumb in the eye to slow the big man down. He then
planted him with a DDT. Kaige was all set to try and finish him off when
Digger sat up and got to his feet. Kaige, who's known for his lack of fear
had the same look as all of The King Darkness' recent opponents, he was
afraid. Digger kicked him in the midsection and scooped him up to plant him
6 Feet Under, when Canuck hit the ring with is trusty crowbar, first taking
out the ref, then nailing Digger. Once those two were out of the way he
began pummeling his latest rival, Ryan Kaige. JC beat Kaige good, possibly
injuring him severely, until Digger came to and The Millennium Man was out
of there quickly. It looks as if the Corrupted One may miss a week or so, he
should be fine by the PPV though.
Ryan Kaige vs Gravedigger-No Contest
Immediately following the match 3WCW VP Mr. Munno came out to the ring and
has this to say:
MM: As you all know Bash at the Beach 3 will take place next Sunday, July
30th. And in light of what we just saw I have booked our first match.
Depending on the severity of his injuries, Ryan Kaige will take on Johnny
Canuck in a No Holds Barred match. Also due to the controversy over the tag
team titles because of Ken Shamrocks vacation, I have decided that the
titles will be on the line at the Bash, it will be a handicapped match,
X-Treme will, by himself defend against Dark Defiance! Now lets continue
with Thunder, the rest of the BATB3 card will be announce immediately
following the show."
Mr. Munno then headed back to his office.
6 Man Tag Match
Lazerus/Dangerous Duo vs Trinity
The New Revolution came out first and the tag champs were
visibly upset by the announcement made by the VP and they let it show in the
match. Extreme Vic started things off for Trinity with a very angry Ken
Shamrock and Vic got the advantage early. He started off with a side
headlock and delivered a running bulldog on the World's Most Dangerous Man.
He then dropped a thunderous elbow across his opponents chest and made the
quick tag to Hell Knight who got right on Shammy. He put him in an arm bar,
wearing down the arm to take away any chance he might have at applying the
Ankle Lock. But being the master ring technician he his Shamrock quickly
reversed it and made the tag to his partner X-Treme, XT went to work on
Knight, hitting a belly to belly suplex on him, followed by a beautifully
executed brain buster. He then tagged out to the IC Champ Lazerus, who had
the upper hand by had an irish whip attempt reveresed and Hell Knight
followed it up with a splah in the corner on Laz. He then made the tag to
Cyco who used his speed to his advantage, using a leg sweep to take Laz
down. He then, seemingly taunting Shamrock, applied a version of the Ankle
Lock Submission on the IC Titleholder. When Shamrock tried to get in the
ring the ref cut him off and Trinity took advantage, all three men hammered
away on Laz in the corner, but he managed to fight his way out and then DDT
Cyco. Both men were on the canvas and slowly made their way to their
corners. Laz made the tag first to X-Treme, but he was greeted in the middle
of the ring by Extreme Vic, that made no difference. XT was a house of fire
slamming Vic, then slamming Hell Knight. Then all six men were in the ring
going at it. A 3WCW camera was backstage in the Judge's locker room, he was
looking on and decided he wanted to extract some payback for the Duo costing
him the Hardcore Title earlier. As he was about to go through the curtain he
was hit from behind by Lyle Wile who made his way to the ring, with a chair
in hand. Wile got up on the apron and was stopped by the referee, but while
the ref was dealing with him Destroyer came through the crowd with a bat and
laid out Hell Knight. Shamrock noticed this and made the cover while the his
teammates kept Dark Defiance at bay. Wile got off the apron, the ref turned
back to the ring, saw the cover, got in position and made the 3 Count. The
Revolution members got the "W" but they weren't satisfied, the continued to
attack the Trinity. This time Wile was involved, so it was a 4 on 3, until
Judge and Gravedigger made the save. When Shammy and X-Treme saw them coming
they fled through the crowd, leaving the Stylemeister and Lazerus. Judge
handed down the Death Sentence to Lyle, while Digger planted Laz 6 Feet
Under.
Lazerus/Dangerous Duo defeated the Trinity by pinfall
TV Title Match
Lyle "In Style" Wile (c) vs Johnny Canuck
Wile didn't even have time to regain his wits after the Death
Sentence, because before he knew it JC was in the ring. The self proclaimed
MAN of the 3WCW took full advantage of the situation and figured that he
could take care of the Stylemeister early, he was all set to deliver the
Millennium Mark, when from his seat Death Warrent shouted something at
Canuck. JC stopped what he was doing and focused on DW, they began yelling
back and forth, this gave Lyle time to clear his head and once he saw what
was going on he quietly went behind Canuck, rolled him up and with a handful
of tights got the 1-2-3 and the win. When Canuck got up he was pissed, he
started to charge at DW, but remembered that the Hall of Famer was just a
fan with a ticket and no longer under 3WCW contract and he didn't wanna face
the law suit. But the fun didn't stop their for JC, as he going behind the
curtain he was nailed by a crutch. It was the crutch of his BATB opponent
Ryan Kaige. Kaige just wanted to deliver a little payback and after the
crutch shot he left the building.
Lyle "In Style" Wile defeated Johnny Canuck by pinfall
Lyle Wile retained the TV Title
MAIN EVENT
World Title Match-3 Way Dance
Bossman (c) vs Venom vs Rage
In the early going of this one Venom and the Bossman kept their
alliance in tact by double teaming Rage, however, that partnership ran dry
real quick. Once it appeared the Rage was out of the picture Venom turned on
his friend, like he said earlier is was nothing personal but the World Title
was at stake and Venom wanted to pull no punches, he wanted the title and
didn't care who's ass he had to kick to get it. Venom began stomping away on
the World Champ following a clothesline, but he took his attention off the
New Revolution leader, who came from behind and delivered a vicious belly to
back suplex. He then went for the Boston Crab, softening up the back for the
Outrage Bomb. But before he could even lock it in the Law man hit him with a
solid boot to the skull. Bossman then began to work on both men, switching
off with punches, the then cracked their skulls together, but made a gave
mistake by taking time to chat with the fans after that, thinking he had the
match locked up. When he turned back around Rage was right their and hit him
with the Outrage Bomb. He went for the cover but the count was broken up by
Venom, who started to hammer away on Rage, hitting with with a series of
rights to stagger him. Once he had him reeling he scooped him up and Hit the
Venom Spike on his nemesis, however before he could go for the cover Bossman
delivered a low blow from behind, then hit the Switch on his friend, made
the cover, got the 3 count and retained the title! But before he could even
celebrate the rest of the New Revolution was out and simply started to
destroy the Champ and Venom. Then Judge and Digger hit the ring again, it
was a 5 on 4, it was pandemonium in the ring, but things got even crazier
when the Trinity then came out, following them was Destroyer, following him
was MOD, half the 3WCW roster was brawling in the ring. The only person that
was missing from this, suprisingly, was Johnny Canuck, who a camera crew
found just watching on a monitor, laughing, and thats what Thunder closed
with.
