ECW to lose major star?

by Dave Meltzer

Rumours, although unconfirmed, are surfacing as to Eric Bischoff's first major actions as WWF head booker. A source close to the WWF management has reportedly leaked information regarding a huge new signing who is currently working for the competition, ECW.

Unfortunately, little else can be said at this time.

New Year's Resolution?
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k89/revnow/VinceMcMahon.jpghttp://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k89/revnow/EricBischoff.jpg

The World Wrestling Federation has experienced a change in management of the most unexpected sort. Former WCW president, Eric Bischoff, was today announced as the new man behind WWF Booking. This comes as a surprise to fans and employees alike as it was only three years ago that Bischoff and Vince Mcmahon were in fierce competition.

"I don't hold grudges," said Mcmahon "especially where business is concerned." When asked if he thought it was strange to hire his former competitor he quickly replied "It doesn't matter what the competition was; it only matters what the competition is. The fact is Eric achieved some great things in WCW and his experienced creative input will help us overcome our current [ECW] rivals."

Eric Bischoff could not be reached for comment.

The Franchise's Big Announcement
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ecwrevolution.jpg

Today, the ECW Revolution Commissioner, Shane Douglas, made a huge announcement regarding the Television Title. "I, like all the ECW fans, was disgusted with Vito's actions on Saturday night!" said the Franchise "Therefore, seeing as Ultimo Dragon was screwed out of victory, I'm making a rematch between him and his imposter for the number one contendership to the TV Title. Vito and Francine will be banned from ringside!"

Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles and I am once again alongside to former ECW World Champions: Taz and Steve Corino.

Taz: Thanks, Joey, I am so pumped up for tonight's action. Let me tell you, that main event tag match is gonna be off the hook!

Corino: I couldn't agree more and I am so stoked I'm here to see it!

Joey: Yeah, I'll second that but now it's time for our first contest. After a month on the injured list, Steve Austin makes his return to the ring.

After the match, Austin picks up a mic.

Austin: That was the second time in a year I was out due to injury. Last time I came back, I told you I held no grudge but this time it's diferent.

The crowd cheers.

Austin: But, hang on, I have no issue with the guy who injured me. You see, my destiny is to hold the ECW World Championship for a second time and I'm making it my business to put any motherf**ker who stands in my way out of commission!

The crowd erupts.

Austin: If you want to see Steve Austin kicking ass all over ECW, give me a "Hell yeah"!

"Hell Yeah!"

Austin: Oh, hell yeah!

A "Stunning Steve" chant begins.

Austin: Oh, no, no, no. Don't call me "Stunning Steve". Call me "Superstar" Steve Austin!

A "Superstar" chant echoes around the arena as Austin heads to the back.

RVD and Traci are talking backstage.

Traci: Awesome. Is that true?

RVD: Gospel.

They laugh again.

RVD: Hey, Trace, I was wondering if...

He hesitates.

Traci: ...yeah...

RVD: Did you maybe want to get a drink after the show... my shout.

Traci: I'd love to.

RVD: Really?

Traci: Of course.

RVD: Wicked! I was nervous about asking.

Traci: I don't see why. Is Shawn coming?

RVD's face sinks.

RVD: Er... yeah, he's coming.

Traci: Cool.

Traci kisses RVD on the cheek and walks off.

RVD punches the wall, frustrated that he didn't handle the situation better.

Joey: Up next, this whole Canadian Connection issue comes to a head.

Taz: That's right, Joey, Rey Mysterio Jr, who has taken exception to the Candians' actions, will face Chris Jericho.

Burchill: No need to tell me, son. I'm gonna rip their f**king arms off!

Owen smiles and the two walk off together.

Taz: Next up it's Ultimo Dragon versus Ultimo Dragon.

Joey: That is to say that Ultimo Dragon will step in the ring with his own impersonator.

Corino: Maybe we'll finally find out who it is...

The crowd erupts at the sight of the new champ.

Suddenly, Cactus Jack jumps him.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpg

A brawl ensues as the camera cuts back to ringside.

Taz: I guess that matter is far from resolved.

Corino: It sure looks that way.

Joey: Well, those two will face off for the title at Got Blood?. Now, though, it's time for our main event.

The match is very even and both teams see much offence. In the fifteenth minute, both Raven and Paul Burchill are the legal men. Raven holds a steel chair in hand and Paul Burchill holds a Singapore cane. Suddenly, they both turn and floor their respective partners.

Joey: What the hell?

Taz: Was that accidental?

Corino: It can't have been.

Using weapons, Raven and Burchill lay into Owen Hart and Rhino. Paul Burchill then lays down for Raven to make the cover.

Match Rating: A*

The two men celebrate in the ring.

Joey: Does this mean these two are back in alliance?

Taz: I guess so, Joey.

Joey: Hello and welcome to the ECW Masters Of Pain finals. I'm Joey Styles alongside Don Callis and, former ECW World Champion, Taz.

Callis: Thanks, Joey. Tonight, we will witness the remaining three rounds of the Masters Of Pain tournament, which will, of course, decide the number one contendership.

Taz: Not only that, Don. We also have a huge title match between Sabu and, the champion, Raven. Let me tell you, folks, that could get ugly pretty damn quick!

Joey: ...and speaking of ugly.

Joel Gertner is in the ring, ready to give his trademark intro.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg

Gertner: Well, well, well, this goes out to the welfare recipients and homeless vagabonds of Asbury Park, New Jersey and to the thousands upon thousands tuning in to see me on pay-per-view.

Callis: Talk about a high opinion of himself.

Joey: Oh, I know.

Gertner: Now, to all you insignificant Gertner wannabes, put those six inch floppies away 'cos here comes the man with the biggest hard drive in pro wrestling. He is nature's bountiful masterpiece and the man who, last night, took such liberties with your mother that he is now recognized as your father in sixteen states, Joel "sweet dreams are made of this" Gertner.

Callis: Oh, dear god.

Joey merely sits with his head in his hands while Taz laughs hysterically.

Gertner: My manhood's so big I can't help but make her strain. So, call me Joel Gertner, "The Master Of Pain"!

Bob Artese: Ladies and gentlemen, the following are the rules that apply to the Masters Of Pain tournament:

Matches are one fall but cannot be decided via a pin. However, submission, either by tap out or by saying "I quit" through a microphone, will result in a loss as will being knocked out for a ten count. In the case of the semi-finals and final of the tournament, one extra match stipulation will be chosen by the winner of a coin toss.

Introducing the first quarter-final contest, to my left, Bill Goldberg and, to my right, representing the Canadian Connection, Chris Jericho.

Quarter-Final

Goldberg looks determined but Jericho is able to keep the match mat-based, which works to his advantage. He wins with a Walls Of Jericho at 14:31

Match Rating: A*

Joey: So, Jericho advances.

Taz: That he does, Joey, we have our first semi-finalist.

Paul Burchill and Owen Hart are finishing getting ready backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Hart: Well, I'm up next.

Burchill: Hey, good luck, man. I'll have your back if Raven or Rhino try anything.

Hart: Yeah, likewise. Catch you later.

Hart walks to the ring, leaving Burchill to tape his fists up.

Callis: Can you believe this. Hart and Angle have been drawn against each other in the quarter-finals.

Taz: Oh, man, this should be fantastic.

Quarter-Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg

The match starts with both men feeling each other out.

Angle calls for a test of strength and Owen accepts.

They lock up - Owen seems to have the advanatge but Angle reverses into a modified Northern Lights Suplex.

He immediately goes for an Ankle Lock but Owen slips out of the ring.

Joey: Wow, this is great already.

Taz: No doubt, Joe.

Owen re-enters the ring and attempts a clothesline but Angle ducks underneath.

He wraps his arms around Owen's waist and attempts a German Suplex.

Owen, However, stays on his feet, so, Angle pushes him to the ropes and uses the momentum roll back into a pinning predicament.

However, as pinfalls do not result in a victory, he releases the hold.

Owen rises to his feet and immediately stuns Angle with a stiff punch.

He then nails a picture perfect dropkick and climbs the turnbuckles.

Angle does not move in time and is hit by a Flying Leg Drop.

Owen tries to apply the Sharpshooter but Angle launches him through the ropes to the outside.

Taz: Man, what strength Kurt has in his legs!

Callis: Well, he trains more intensively than anyone else I know of.

After Owen re-enters the ring, a mat-based technical contest ensues.

In the twentieth minute, Kurt hits the Angle Slam and locks in the Ankle Lock...

Owen is able to roll over onto his back and kick Angle to the ropes.

He then instantly springs to his feet and, as Angle rebounds, he hits a DDT.

Sharpshooter... Angle has no choice but to tap out!

Match Rating: A*

After the match, Owen helps Kurt to his feet. They shake hands and Kurt raises the victor's hand.

Joey: Now, that is how things should happen!

Taz: Absolutley, Joey. That was a great match and a great show of respect!

Quarter-Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KensukeSasaki.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpg

A video is shown to hype the Dreamer/Sandman feud.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

Taz: Oh, man, that stuff between Tommy and The Sandman is getting intense.

Calls: Very true and we now know that they will face one another at Got Blood?.

Joey: Well, that's next week but, now, we have the last of our quarter-finals. Paul Burchill takes on Rhino.

Quarter-Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

The match quickly turns hardcore, with use of all manner of weapons. The contest is very even and neither man can get a definitive advantage. In the twelfth minute, Raven walks to the ring with chair in hand. However, before he can help Rhino, Owen Hart runs out and disarms. A brawl ensues between the two as Burchill hits the C-4 in the ring. 1...2...3!

Match Rating: A

Joey: Owen Hart stopped the unfair advantage, allowing Burchill to get the win.

Taz: Good work, Owen!

Rhino looks incredibly angry about the loss, staring daggers at Owen Hart and Paul Burchill as the camera cuts backstage.

Vito is backstage with Francine.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomasellisuit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

Vito: Ultimo Dragon, everyone is calling out for me to defend my TV Title against you at Got Blood? Well, I'll tell you what, if you can beat my associate, I will.

Vito's imposter Ultimo Dragon steps on-screen.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonimp.jpg

Vito: But, Ultimo, can you really hope to beat a man who knows every move you'll throw at him?

The camera cuts back to ringside.

Joey: I am dying to know who that fake Ultimo is!

Taz: You're not the only one, Joey.

Bob Artese: The following is the coin toss for the first semi-final between Chris Jericho and Owen Hart. Owen, it's you to choose.

Hart: Heads.

Referee Chris Kay flips the coin.

Bob Artese: It's tails. Chris, choose your stipulation.

Jericho: I want the whole locker room out here 'cos it's gonna be a Lumberjack Match!

The locker room empties as wrestlers and road agents alike surround the ring.

Semi-Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

The stipulation works in Jericho's favour as he has the Canadian Connection to back him up plus Owen has made several enemies recently.

Jericho whips Owen to the ropes.

Instead of hitting a move on the rebound, Jericho merely holds the opposite rope down so that Owen falls to the floor outside.

Benoit and Christian immediately lead the assault as others, including Raven and Rhino, join in.

Owen manages to crawl back in, only to recieve a Baseball Slide upon re-entering that sends him back outside.

Callis: Oh, come on, Jericho is getting the lumberjacks to do the work for him.

Joey: It may be unfair but, nevertheless, it's pretty damn smart!

After finally returning to the ring, Owen walks right into a Vertical Suplex.

Jericho climbs out onto the apron and hits a Slingshot Legdrop.

He locks in the Walls Of Jericho but Owen makes it to the ropes.

In the eighteenth minute, after a great technical display Jericho hits a Leg Lariat.

He then attempts a Lionsault but Burchill, who is on the outside, shakes the ropes, causing Jericho to fall back on his head.

Owen sees the opportunity and locks in the Sharpshooter.

Jericho taps out.

Match Rating: A*

Joey: He's in the final. After two very difficult draws against Jericho and Angle and losing the stipulation coin toss, Owen Hart is in the final!

Taz: What an awesome effort!

Raven is backstage for a shoot interview.

Raven: There are sins whose fascination is more in the memory than in the action, strange triumphs that gratify the pride more than the passion and give intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they could ever bring the senses. What about me? What about Raven? I will feel a similar satisfaction when I mutilate Sabu in tonight's main event and when I go on to destroy whoever wins the Masters Of Pain in our future title match.

As for Owen Hart, mistakes are inevitable; what separates a person from others is the improvement made after a mistake is realised. My mistake was to not remove Owen and Burchill from the running sooner. However, rest assured, justice will prevail.

So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

The camera cuts back to ringside.

Bob Artese: The following is the coin toss for the second semi-final between Paul Burchill and Cactus Jack. Cactus, it's you to choose.

Cactus: Tails.

Referee John Finnegan flips the coin.

Bob Artese: It is tails.Choose your stipulation.

Cactus: A Japanese Babred Wire Match.

Joey: Wow.

Taz: Oh man, this is huge!

Burchill and Cactus Jack sit in opposite corners, staring each other down, as the ring maintenance team replace the ropes with barbed wire.

Semi-Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpg

The stipulations work in Cactus Jack's favour and he uses the barbed wire regularly and effectively. In the twelfth minute, Cactus launches a bleeding Paul Burchill into the barbed wire ropes. His hair becomes tangled in the wire and he is clearly trapped. Cactus grabs a microphone and thrusts it in his face.

Cactus: "Say it! Say 'I quit!'"

Burchill: "F**k you!"

Cactus rummages under the ring.

Joey: What the hell is he looking for?

Callis: I have no idea.

Cactus pulls out a cannister of petrol/gasoline and begins to douse Paul Burchill.

Joey: Oh my god!

Callis: Not this!

Cactus again thrusts the microphone into Paul Burchill's face.

Burchill: Okay, I quit!

Match Rating: A*

Joey: Well, after that potentially harrowing display, we have our finalists. Owen Hart will face Cactus Jack.

An EMT team come to the ring, cut Burchill out of the wire and take him to the back on a stretcher.

The Whole F**kin' Show are sitting in the locker room backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg

RVD: Hey, man, it was a great idea of yours to ask Traci to be our manager!

Michaels: Cheers, dude. I told you it would work out great. Plus, she's proper fine!

The two friends laugh.

RVD: You know, though man...

He hesitates.

Michaels: Go on, bro.

RVD: Don't laugh.

Michaels: Would I?

RVD: Seriously, I mean it. Say you won't laugh.

Michaels: Scouts honour.

Michaels jokingly makes a three fingered salute.

RVD: Fine.

He hesitates again.

RVD: Well, I think I might be, well, y'know... falling for her.

Michaels laughs hysterically to the extent where he falls off the bench that he is sitting on. He continues to laugh while rolling on the floor as the camera cuts back to ringside.

Joey: It's time for the final ladies and gents.

Taz: Oh, man, I can't wait!

Bob Artese: The following is the coin toss for the final match in the Masters Of Pain tournament between Cactus Jack and Owen Hart. Owen, it's you to choose.

Hart: Heads.

Referee Jim Molineaux flips the coin.

Bob Artese: It is heads.Choose your stipulation.

Hart: Pure wrestling!

Bob Artese: I'm sorry?

Hart: You heard me. Pure wrestling: all weapons and interferences are illegal!

The crowd erupts, knowing that it will work in Owen's favour.

Final

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Because of the stipulation, Cactus Jack struggles slightly, while Owen, of course, excels.

In the fifteenth minute, he whips Cactus Jack to the corner.

Referee Jim Molineaux is trapped between Cactus and the turnbuckle and is knocked out cold.

Owen shows incredible skill by hitting a Tornado DDT.

He then locks in the Sharpshooter but Rhino comes running out, so, he releases the hold, ready to defend himself.

However, Kurt Angle runs out and prevents Rhino from interfering.

Joey: Kurt clearly gained a lot of respect for Owen earlier tonight and is, therefore, helping to keep this match fair.

Taz: Good, I'm glad Owen's getting a clean shot. Now get up Molineaux, Cactus is gonna tap out!

Suddenly, Raven runs in behind Owen, turns him around and hits the Evenflow DDT.

Joey: Damn it! Despite Owen's stipulation, the ref is out cold and can do nothing about it.

Raven then gets a chair and delivers the same move but this time onto steel, while Angle and Rhino brawl on the outside.

The champion then revives Cactus Jack and the referee.

Jim Molineaux sees that Cactus is up and Owen is down.

He starts the count:

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg

The match is very even and involves many weapons.

In the sixteenth minute, Sabu sets a table up, resting between the ring apron and the guard rail.

He stuns Raven with a stiff punch and places him on the table.

He then enters the ring and sets up a chair.

He runs into the ropes, rebounds and leaps off the chair... Raven moves.

Sabu is left folded up in a mass of broken wood.

When Raven returns to his feet, he rolls the challenger back into the ring.

He sets Sabu up for the Evenflow but something catches his eye.

Zakk Wylde has appeared on the apron.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ZakkWylde.jpg

Raven releases the challenger and goes to confront Wylde.

However, Wylde throws a haymaker that connects with Raven's jaw.

The champion staggers backwards and Sabu hits a DDT of his own.

He then sets up a chair and hits the Triple Jump Moonsault.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A*

Callis: We have a new ECW World Champion!

Taz: Go, Sabu! This is huge!

Joey: But do you know what the irony is?

Taz: What's that, Joey?

Joey: Raven cost Owen Hart a shot at the title when, in fact, after everything is said and done, he wouldn't have had to face him anyway.

Taz: Damn, that's got to make it that bit worse for Owen!

Callis: Yeah and talk about best laid plans going awry!

Monday, week 4, December

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DonCallis.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg

Callis: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Don Callis...

Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.

Callis: Tonight's Revolution is the last show before the Masters Of Pain on Friday night.

Gertner: That's true, Don, and I can't wait for that. However, tonight's show is the next best thing.

Callis: Absolutely, Joel. We have two Masters Of Pain qualifiers tonight and, with that being said, let's go to ringside for the first.

Masters Of Pain Qualifier

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScottSteiner.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Goldberg.jpg

Goldberg wins via knockout with a Jackhammer at 12:41

Match Rating: A

Shane Douglas makes his way to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

Douglas: My job as commissioner is to smooth out any problems that may arise and that's exactly what I'm going to do. So, I'm making a tag match. Vito and Michael Shane will face Chris Daniels and Jushin Lyger. Oh, and it's happening... right now!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomasellisuit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MichaelShane.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JushinThunderLyger.jpg

The match is very even. In the fourteeth minute, Ultimo Dragon runs in and hits the Asai DDT on Vito allowing Lyger to pick up the pin.

Match Rating: A*

After the match, the fake Ultimo Dragon runs to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonimp.jpg

He floors his counterpart with the exact same move and helps Vito to the back.

Callis: Who the hell is that under the Ultimo Dragon mask?

Gertner: That would be Ultimo Dragon.

Callis: No I mean the other Ultimo Dragon...

Gertner: Oh... How the hell should I know?

Callis stares at Gertner in disbelief.

Owen Hart approaches Paul Burchill who is sitting in the locker room.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpg

Hart: How are you doing, Big Man?

Burchill: Not too bad, thanks. I'll tell you, though, when I get my hands on Raven...

Hart: ...Oh, don't worry about that. I've finally got a one-onone match with him tonight. Granted, it's not for the title but I can still teach the cowardly sh*t a lesson!

Burchill: Yeah, lock on that Sharpshooter extra tight for me!

Hart: Oh, I will. Listen, I don't want to be negative but will you be able to...

He hesitates.

Burchill: ...compete in the Masters Of Pain? Yeah, the doctors have cleared me for action on Friday.

Hart: I'm glad man. I'd hate to see you work so hard for nothing. By the way, I probably don't need to tell you that I'm in the tournie as well.

Burchill: Haha, let's just say: let the best man win.

Hart: Sounds like a fair deal.

They slap hands before Owen walks off.

The rival teams go at it with everything they have. Eventually, The Iron Saints pick up the win with God's Will at 14:22

Match Rating: A

The Sandman enters the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

Sandman: Two weeks ago, I humiliated Tommy Dreamer! I proved that he is not man enough to look after his wife, let alone beat me. Hell, I bet he don't even wear the trousers in his marriage.

Dreamer makes his way to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

Gertner: Man, Dreamer looks pissed!

Callis: To say the least, Joel.

Sandman: What's the matter? Did I upset poor little Tommy? Hey, come and get it bitch... it's your funeral!

Suddenly, Beulah emerges from the crowd.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BeulahMcGillicutty.jpg

She walks up behind The Sandman, who is still staring at Dreamer, and hits a low blow. Tommy then enters the ring.

Tommy: Sandman, it's time for you to finally put your money where your mouth is and face me one-on-one without using my wife as a weapon against me. I'm challenging you to a rematch at Got Blood?!

Dreamer then picks up his adversary and hits a Dreamer DDT.

Callis: Wow, The Sandman just got what was coming to him!

Gertner: Well, that's all a matter of opinion. Even so, I can't wait to see that match at Got Blood?.

Masters Of Pain Qualifier

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

Cactus Jack wins via knockout with a Double Arm DDT on the concrete floor.

Match Rating: A*

After the match, Sabu runs to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

He slaps Cactus Jack in the face and the two men begin to brawl around ringside. Before officials can come to seperate them, they fight their way up the aisle-way and backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3.jpg

The match has hardly started and Rhino runs in to effectively make it a 2-on-1. Owen puts up a brave fight but cannot beat the numbers game. In the fourteenth minute, the three men are fighting in the aisle-way.

Sabu runs in from the back with chair in hand. He is hotly pursued by Cactus Jack.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpg

Sabu takes out Rhino with the chair but is stopped by Cactus before he can floor the world champion.

A huge brawl breaks out between all four men. Rhino eventually re-enters the fray to aid Raven.

Referee, Jim Molineaux, has no choice but to call for a no contest.

Match Rating: A*

The Great Sasuke appears at the entrance-way, accompanied by his followers.

Sasuke: Sasuke World Order here to teach you all lesson. This be my show. You see, WE'RE TAKING UNDER!

Chessman whispers something in Sasuke's ear. Sasuke slaps him.

Sasuke: WE'RE TAKING OVER!

Sabu, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack, Raven and Rhino cease brawling and instead, turn and walk up the aisleway towards the sWo.

Sasuke: On second thought, WE'RE NOT TAKING OVER!

The title contenders continue to walk towards them, looking even more threatening.

Sasuke: On third thought, never mind.

A puff of smoke rises from the floor and the sWo vanish. The others go back to brawling.

Gertner: Oh man, it's pandemonium.

Callis: Yeah and the title picture looks more chaotic than ever! However, the Masters Of Pain tournament, which takes place this Friday, is sure to sort that out.

Show Rating: A*
