[COLOR="Blue"]Rating C+.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]Tag Title Match (Steel Cage): [/COLOR]An exciting match, which looked like the former champions would regain their titles early on, until [B]Wolverine[/B] accidentally knocked out the referee, just as his partner, [B]Big Cat Brandon[/B] made his escape from the cage. The [B]New Wave [/B]mounted a comeback, smashing Wolverine head first into the cage, busting him open badly, and then climbing over the cage to attack Big Cat and throw him back into the ring through the cage door. They then double teamed him for several minutes, during which time the referee came round, and was able to see Guide make his own escape to retain the titles. [COLOR="Blue"]Rating B-.[/COLOR] As [B]New Wave[/B] celebrate on the ring apron, [B]Adrenaline Rush [/B]run down to the ring and attack them, throwing both of the exhausted champions repeatedly against the cage, before standing over them, holding the tag belts aloft. [COLOR="blue"]Rating C+.[/COLOR] Backstage, [B]Emma Chase[/B] approaches the [B]McWade Brothers[/B], who have been watching the Tag Title match. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]“Do you want to be in big matches like that?” [/COLOR]she asks them. [COLOR="Red"]“Of course.” [/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]“So you need me as your manager then – and I will get you into events like this.” [/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"] Rating C+.[/COLOR] [B]Emma[/B] spots [B]Hells Bouncer [/B]walking past and approaches him as well, asking him if he would like to have a pretty girl like her walking down to the ring with him each night. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B+.[/COLOR] Out in the ring, we have [B]Joey Minnesota [/B]against [B]Acid,[/B] a match which came about when Acid cost Joey his chance in the Brass Knuckles tournament. Joey got a measure of revenge, when Acid was DQ’ed, thanks to [B]Art Reed[/B] getting involved and attacking Joey from behind. Unfortunately for Art and Acid, the referee spotted him and declared Joey the winner. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B.[/COLOR] [B]Acid[/B] and [B]Art Reed [/B]argue all the way to the back about Art’s botched interference.

[COLOR="Blue"]Rating A.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]Brass Knuckles Title Match (hardcore):[/COLOR] [B]Hells Bouncer [/B]becomes the new champion, when he beats [B]Pablo Rodriguez[/B], following interference by [B]Kurt Laramee[/B]. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]“Why did he do that?” [/COLOR]asks Mitch. [COLOR="Red"]“Pablo beat Kurt earlier in the tournament, I guess he wanted some revenge,”[/COLOR] answers Phil Vibert. [COLOR="Blue"]Rating B-.[/COLOR] Once the new champion gets backstage, he and [B]Emma[/B] are greeted by [B]the McWades[/B], who spray [B]Hells Bouncer [/B]with champagne to celebrate his title win. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]“Looks like the McWades are part of Emma’s little army”, [/COLOR]says Mitch. [COLOR="Red"]“Not so little now,”[/COLOR] replies Phil, [COLOR="red"]“she’s also got Doug Peak and Bryan Holmes on her books, don’t forget.” [/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Rating B+.[/COLOR] [B]Nemesis[/B] is backstage, and he tells [B]Chris Caulfield [/B]that tonight will be the last time that the Hardcore Icon sticks his nose in his business. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]“After tonight’s hardcore match, you won’t be in any fit state to wrestle for a while.” [/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]Rating A.[/COLOR] Next we have the match resulting from [B]Bryan Holmes’ [/B]open challenge last week, which was taken up by [B]Shawn Gonzalez[/B]. In an exciting match, which swung both ways, Gonzalez eventually picked up the victory when [B]Doug Peak [/B]was spotted by the referee, handing Holmes a pair of brass knuckles, which he used to knock Gonzalez out, and the match was ended by DQ. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B+.[/COLOR] [B]Eric Tyler[/B] is backstage in front of the camera.

[COLOR="Blue"]Rating A.[/COLOR] Yet again, we have two wrestlers who don’t click. Despite this, the two tried hard to put on a good show, using a variety of weapons to attack each other, as [B]Nemesis[/B] dominated most of the match with [B]Caulfield[/B], before finishing him off with a Nemesis Arrow through a table. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B.[/COLOR] A video is shown of the feud between [B]Johnny Martin [/B]and [B]Eric Tyler [/B]over the [COLOR="Red"]Unified Title[/COLOR], during which time the ring is cleared of all the weapons from the previous match. [COLOR="Blue"]Rating A.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]Unified Title Match:[/COLOR] [B]Johnny [/B]and [B]Eric [/B]put it all on the line for the title. Back and forth it went, even spilling into the crowd at one point, with the referee having been knocked out. Just as Johnny was beginning to get the upper hand, [B]Nemesis[/B] came flying out from the back and hit the Nemesis Arrow on Johnny on the outside, as Martin was preparing to climb the ropes to frog splash the semi conscious Eric Tyler in the ring. As the referee came round, Nemesis retreated halfway up the ramp, and grinned to himself as the referee made the slow 10 count to count the champion out. [B]Eric Tyler [/B]wins the match, but [B]Johnny Martin [/B]retains the title. [COLOR="Blue"]Rating A.[/COLOR] As [B]Tyler[/B] came round, the referee raised his hand in triumph, but once Tyler realized that he had not won the title thanks to [B]Nemesis[/B], he rolled out of the ring and went eyeball to eyeball with the laughing Nemesis.

[COLOR="blue"]Rating C+.[/COLOR] [B]Phil Vibert[/B] announces a match for next weeks show, it will be [B]Joey Minnesota v Acid[/B] again, but this time there will be a third wrestler in the match, [B]Art Reed[/B], seeing as he wanted to get involved at Counter Culture, thus making it a triple threat match. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B-.[/COLOR] As [B]Vibert[/B] leaves and goes backstage, he comes across [B]Pablo Rodriguez [/B]yelling at [B]Kurt Laramee[/B], telling Laramee that he cost him the Brass Knuckles Title against Hells Bouncer. Vibert tells the pair that if they have a problem with each other then they will have to settle it in the ring right now. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B.[/COLOR] [B]Pablo[/B] and [B]Kurt[/B] put on a very good match, with both men having periods of dominance. Whenever Kurt got a shot in, he seemed to glance towards the ramp, as if expecting some help. Eventually Pablo got the upper hand, and it ended with a pinfall victory for the Mexican. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B.[/COLOR] [B]Henry Lee[/B] comes out to the announce table and tells [B]Phil Vibert [/B]that [B]Shawn Gonzalez [/B]is going to be unable to fight [B]Bryan Holmes [/B]after the earlier attack, but that he, Henry Lee, wants to take his place and get some revenge on Holmes for his friend. Phil agrees to allow this.

He tells the world that both [B]Johnny Martin [/B]and [B]Nemesis [/B]are going to feel his wrath, and that as far as he is concerned, if Nemesis wants to get involved that badly, then he will beat both of them in the same match. [COLOR="blue"]Rating B+.[/COLOR] Our main event is a hardcore match between [B]Eddie Peak [/B]and [B]Chris Caulfield.[/B] Chris seems to still be feeling the effects of his defeat by Nemesis on Monday, but still battles Eddie with his usual weapons. However it is all in vain as Eddie shows the older man that he really is a sick, sadistic person, hitting the Peak of Perfection onto a chair and then using the ropes for leverage in making the pin.

[QUOTE=theunholyicon;158240]Go Joey Minnesota! Never seen him, or Lover used in a DAVE promotion before, looks awesome.[/QUOTE] Glad you're enjoying it. Lover starts with a high B grade in hardcore (along with high everything else!) and Joey starts with a mid C+, so they can wrestle that kind of match if necessary, although it kind of wastes their other talents. Imho, a good wrestler can still do really well in a hardcore promotion, similar to how someone like CM Punk is gonna be a star in ECW (although I do realise that the current ECW isn't really hardcore as such)

Lover starts with a high B grade in hardcore (along with high everything else!) and Joey starts with a mid C+, so they can wrestle that kind of match if necessary, although it kind of wastes their other talents. Imho, a good wrestler can still do really well in a hardcore promotion, similar to how someone like CM Punk is gonna be a star in ECW (although I do realise that the current ECW isn't really hardcore as such)

[B][U]Matches announced for March into Battle PPV on Monday Week 1 March 2006[/U][/B] [COLOR="Red"]Pre Show Match[/COLOR]: [B]The McWades v The Samoans [/B]- Emma has chosen the new boys to be the Canadians next victims, while the Samoans search for their first victory in DAVE. [COLOR="red"]Brass Knuckles Title Match:[/COLOR] [B]Hells Bouncer (c) v Hell Monkey [/B] - Emma's man will again be looking to make his huge size advantage pay. [COLOR="red"]Tag Title Ladder Match:[/COLOR] [B]New Wave (c) v Adrenaline Rush[/B] - Scout and Guide have had the upper hand in singles competition, but will the ladder match suit the high flying style of Sammy Bach and Teddy Powell? [COLOR="red"]Triple Threat Match:[/COLOR] [B]Joey Minnesota v Acid v Art Reed [/B] - these three men have had problems with each other recently, who will come out on top? [COLOR="red"]Handicap Match:[/COLOR] [B]Bryan Holmes v Shawn Gonzalez and Henry Lee [/B]- Holmes has enlisted the help of both Doug Peak and the McWades over the past few weeks to outnumber Henry and Shawn. Tonight the shoe is on the other foot, but for how long? [COLOR="red"]Best of Seven Hardcore Series (Match 1):[/COLOR] [B]Eddie Peak v Chris Caulfield [/B] - the "Hardcore Assassin" meets the "Hardcore American". Eddie has won both their previous encounters, but with this series starting tonight, will Chris manage to find a victory from somewhere? [COLOR="red"]Unified Title Triple Threat Hardcore Match: [/COLOR] [B]Johnny Martin (c) v Eric Tyler v Nemesis [/B]- last month's PPV main event saw Eric Tyler face Johnny Martin, but thanks to Nemesis' interference, Tyler only won the match by count out and therefore did not win the title. Now all three men are in the match, and all of them have been involved in each other's warm up matches. Who will walk away with the biggest prize in DAVE at the end of the night? Predictions, comments and criticism welcome.
