[B][U][CENTER][SIZE="4"][U]EZ Money Vs AJ Styles:[/U] (Non-Title)[/SIZE][/CENTER][/U][/B] A fast paced match which was very even until EZ money took control with a beautiful spinning wheel kick. Several fast paced moves later and AJ powers out of a sleeper and hits the Pele for a two count. Nova gets riled up and hits the apron only to get pulled off by Russo. Nova clocks him with the tag belt, distracting AJ long enough for EZ Money to roll him up for the three count. [B]Winner: EZ Money via roll up.

[COLOR="Red"]MT: Wow a big win there for EZ Money, that has to make him a contender for AJ's belt now.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]JS: Well AJ has screwed enough people over Mike, im sure as hell not upset to see it happen to him once in a while.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Green"]BH: Ah quit you jabberin Styles, Im more interested in the main event tonight, Ive got a feeling Tazz is gonna destroy Austin and Steiner tonight.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]MT: We do have a big main event Brain, your absolutely correct.

After his usual crowd saluting he grabs a mic.. SA: Ya know, ive only been here a few weeks and people are already asking, "why Steve? Why?" "Why did you leave the WWF to come to WCW? I mean you got fired from there Steve! i thought you hated the place?" Well the truth is boys and girls that old Mr Austin was getting looked over up north, they just didnt think i could cut it no more but EH-EH! I dont give a rats ass if Vince Mcmahon doesnt think im as good as there top guys, im the best that company ever had, hell I could beat any of their guys everyday of the week, twice on Sunday! But you know what really pissed me off? It was Jeff Jarrett running his little whiny mouth about he was the greatest WCW Champion of all time, about how he could beat just anybody! Well tonight, this rattlesnake is gonna open up a fresh can of whoop ass on Tazz and Scott Steiner and then walk into Mayhem and walk out the new WCW World Heavyweight champion! And thats the bottom line....(the crowd finish off his trademarked sentence) His music hits and he salutes the crowd the way only Austin could before we cut to commercial. [B]COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/B] And we are back with Mean Gene standing by with John Layfield.

"Canada" hits and Lance Storm makes his way to the ring to a big pop also. [B][U][SIZE="4"]WCW Television Championship:[/SIZE][/U][/B] [B][U][SIZE="4"]Andrew Martin Vs Lance Storm:[/SIZE][/U][/B] Martin overpowers Storm and dominates the opening minutes only for one small mistake leading to Storm hitting a step-up enzuigiri for a two count to get back into the match. Storm controls the match with several ground and pound maneuveurs mainly concentrating on Martin's legs. Martin begins to fight out of a leg lock and manages to kick Storm away, get to his feet and dodge a clothesline by Storm and nail a huge running [I][B]Big Boot[/B][/I]! 1.....2.....No Storm gets his shoulder up! Justin Credible makes his way to the ring to a shower of boos and stands at ringside. Storm counters a [B][I]ring of death[/I][/B](Testdrive) and hits a superkick heard around the arena but Credible jumps on the apron distracting Storm for long enough that Martin gets to his feet runs off the ropes and nails a second huge [B][I]Big Boot[/I][/B] and covers for the 1...2...3.. [B]Winner and STILL Television Champion: Andrew Martin. (Rating: D+)[/B] Justin Credible dives in and begins raining punches on Lance Storm. Andrew Martin steps in and pushes him off but as he turns his back to check on Storm, Credible low blows Martin and then hits him with the TV title. Credible stands tall in the ring as boos rain down. [B]COMMERCIAL BREAK[/B] As we return we see Hot Commodity walking backstage talking and laughing amongst themselves.
