Live Show
(Chris Cash) Goooood evening! Welcome to the MARK of the Quad Cities in the heart of downtown Moline and home of the AF2's Quad City Steamwheelers for some hard hitting, in your face wrestling that only we can deliver. The Tag Team division starts off this week with 2 very close matches as well as the Battle of Champions as Duncan McCloud takes honor to the ring against Shane Meadows. In your main event, Mary-Jane Montez looks to be the first woman ever to hold a World Championship as she takes on Cruncher. And I apologize for being rude, I am Chris Cash! I'll be your color commentator and play-by-play man for tonight as well as for every PWR event. Why you ask? Because I am "The Voice of PWR" and any one else... would be uncivilized. Now, let's get right down to the ring for....wait!
(A man walks down the aisle with a chair in hand)
(Chris Cash) Is that Scott Kage? He hasn't been seen since the very first show PWR ever did. Why is he here and why does he have a chair? Anyway, while he is getting situated at ringside, let's get down to Austin Hart for the kickstart of Full Throttle.
Singles Match
Zanyon vs "Simply Excellent" Shawn Shamrock
Austin Hart is standing mid-ring.
(Austin Hart) Ladies and gentlemen, the first contest is scheduled for one fall.
("Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath plays as Shawn Shamrock makes his way down the aisle)
(Austin Hart) Introducing first, from Hayward, California, weighing in at 275 pounds, here is "Simply Excellent" Shawn Shamrock!
(Chris Cash) Shamrock tonight looks to pick up his first win here in the PWR. His last 2 matches have been completely different stories. Shamrock faced Mary-Jane Montez twice and lost 2 different ways. In his first match, he lost in less than 5 minutes. In his second match, he lost a very close matchup. Tonight, he looks to break out and beat a man who has been on a roll.
Shamrock walks past Kage and Kage boos him and gives him two thumbs down directly to his face. Shamrock walks away from him and enters the ring.
(Austin Hart) And his opponent...
("Thunderstruck" by AC/DC plays as Zanyon walks towards the ring to face his opponent)
(Austin Hart) From Chicago, Illinois, weighing 224 pounds, he is "The Human Highlight Reel" and the number one contender to the PWR World Championship! This is Zanyon!
Zanyon slaps hands with the fans as Scott Kage jumps up and down cheering Zanyon.
(Chris Cash) Looks like Scott Kage is a member of the Zanyaholics. He could be a premium member and gets those exclusive Zanyon autographed 8x10's. Either way, Kage is cheering Zanyon for his match with the bigger Shamrock.
Zanyon looks at Kage and then rolls his eyes and then enters the ring. Shamrock stomps him as soon as he slides into the ring and the referee calls for the bell.
(Chris Cash) Shamrock is not wasting any time and going right to work on Zanyon.
Shamrock picks Zanyon up and whips him off the ropes. Zanyon can't stop himself and hits the ropes. Shamrock catches him on the rebound and takes Zanyon over with a snap belly-to-belly suplex. Zanyon lands hard and Shamrock covers, 1......2......kickout. Kage hops up and down to cheer Zanyon on and Shamrock stays on the veteran. Shamrock pulls Zanyon up and grabs him in a dragon sleeper grip and drives him down with an inverted DDT. Zanyon lands harnd and Shamrock covers again while Kage goes crazy, 1......2......Zanyon kicks out again. Shamrock gets up and pulls Zanyon up again and hooks him for a suplex. Zanyon hooks the leg and blocks it. Zanyon punches Shamrock in the gut and gets free. Zanyon backs off the ropes and clotheslines Shamrock. Shamrock rocks back and bounces off the ropes closest to Scott Kage. Zanyon backs up and comes towards Shamrock. Zanyon goes to deliver a Cactus clothesline but Shamrock ducks and backdrops Zanyon over the top rope. Kage shoots up from the chair and stands behind Zanyon and making sure he lands on the apron. Shamrock catches Zanyon with a forearm shot that rocks Zanyon. Kage places his hands on Zanyon's back and holds him up. Shamrock reaches over and hooks Zanyon. Shamrock pulls Zanyon into the ring with a suplex from the outside in. Kage pulls the feet of Shamrock and Zanyon lands on top of Shamrock for the cover, 1......2...Kage holds Shamrock's feet down and the ref doesn't see...3!
Winner by pinfall at 4:19 - Zanyon
(Chris Cash) Scott Kage just cost Shamrock the match! Did Zanyon plant him here? Did Zanyon bring him back? Who knows? Zanyon picks up the "win" against the unlucky Shawn Shamrock. Right now, let's get to some pre-recorded comments from our challenger for the PWR World Championship, Mary-Jane Montez.
(Mary-Jane Montez) Tonight is an important night in my life and an important night in wrestling history. Tonight, I will become the first woman ever to become World Heavyweight Champion. Cruncher, you may have faced me before in many feds and you might have gotten the best of me but now you have to realize two things. First, that your flame is going out. You are retiring and are holding the belt only to have your last big moment in PWR history as being a transitional champion. Secondly, I am the most hungry and most deserving person in this damn business to never be champion and I promise that tonight, I will win my PWR World Championship. Cruncher, welcome to my life!
(Footage ends as camera switches to the backstage area. Zanyon is in his locker room taking off his wrist tape and grabbing his bags. He is interrupted by Scott Kage)
(Scott Kage) Zanyon! Man, it's so good to see you. I'm...
(Zanyon) Are you a fan or something? Only PWR employees and invited guests are allowed back here.
(Scott Kage) No Zanyon, I'm....
(Zanyon) Are you my driver today? Good, my bags are on the stool.
(Scott Kage) No Zanyon, I'm Scott Kage. I'm a wrestler. I was wondering if you would be interested in me being my mentor. You're at the top of your game and I think I can learn alot from you.
(Zanyon) Your mentor, huh? You know what? I will think about it.
(Zanyon leaves the frame and Scott Kage is left with a hopeful look on his face as the camera fades to commercial)
:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::
(Stacy Warren is standing backstage with the Whoresmen, Mavick and Shane Montez)
(Stacy Warren) Tonight we start on the road to crown the first ever PWR World Tag Team Champions. I'm here with what many think are the odds
on favorites to win the titles. Mavick, what do you think your chances are?
(Mavick) Shane's chances and mine are great. The other teams in this thing…not so good.
(Stacy Warren) One of your opponents tonight seems to think different. Did you hear those comments Shane?
(Shane Montez) Of course I heard what he had to say. Of course, he didn't say it on camera, as he was talking jibberish. All unstoppable force this and be scared that. Whatever Skullboy. You're about to step in to the ring with the only unstoppable force in the tag team division. And that's us, that's the Whoresmen.
(Stacy Warren) You two seem to be pretty confident in your prediction.
(Mavick) Stacy, you should learn that we are almost always right. Like 99.7% of the time. As a matter of fact we'll prove it.
(Stacy Warren) How are you going to do that?
(Mavick) We'll tell you who's going to win here tonight. Starting with us over Skullboy and Ihavenocluepac.
(Stacy Warren) Alright. Who's next?
(Shane Montez) Well, I already got one point, because I had Zanyon over that Shamrock dude.
(Mavick) Indeed you did. Then Shane's family gets another win when Anthony beats Flash.
(Shane Montez) Then next week we will take on…Hmm…this one is tough.
(Mavick) Yeah. I'm glad this is your pick.
(Shane Montez) I'm using my psychic powers and seeing Yelder and Jericho getting the big win tonight.
(Mavick) What's next?
(Stacy Warren) Duncan McCloud vs Shane Meadows.
(Mavick) This should be a good match. Maybe even the match of the night Stacy. But in the end Duncan McCloud will win.
(Stacy Warren) That leaves the main event to you Shane.
(Shane Montez) Cruncher vs by little sister. This will be the match of the night Mav. And at the end of the night, my little sister will be
celebrating her first ever World Title win.
(Mavick) Good call Shane. But I think it's time we go get the rest of these predictions started off right.
(Stacy Warren) Ladies and gentlemen, those were the Whoresmen. Back to you Chris.
(Camera cuts back to ringside as the Whoresmen walk away)
(Chris Cash) Thanks Stacy, and we'll get to see if the Whoresmen can prove their first prediction right, right now!
Semifinal Match in the PWR World Tag Team Title Tournament
The Whoresmen (Mavick and Shane Montez) vs Tupac Shakur & Skullman
Our next match this evening on Heatwave will be a semifinal match in our PWR World Tag Team Title Tournament. "Your Disease" by Saliva hits over the PA and out walks the cult favorite, Skullman and his tag team partner, Tupac Shakur! The crowds really get behind Skullman, and he and his partner are going to need all the support they can get, because they are really up against the wall here tonight. Skullman and Tupac make their way to the ring, shaking hands with some fans along the way. They climb the steps and then enter the ring, as "Victory '06 The Monster/Shooter Remix" by P.Diddy comes over the PA and out walks the two remaining Whoresmen, Shane Montez and Mavick! Let's listen in to this custom song.
Yo, the sun don't shine forever
But as long as it's here then we might as well shine together
Better now than never, business before pleasure
Da Monsta and the Shooter, who you know do it better?
Yeah right, no matter what, we air tight
So when you hear somethin, make sure you hear it right
Don't make a ass outta yourself, by assumin
Our style keeps you movin, what are you provin?
You know that we're two levels above you baby
Hug me baby, I'ma make you love us baby.
Talkin crazy ain't gonna get you nuthin but choked
And that jealousy is only gonna leave you broke
So the only thing left now is God for these cats
And Shane you know we too hard for these cats
I'ma win cause I'm too smart for these cats
While they makin up facts (uhh) you rakin up plats
In the Commission, you ask for permission to hit em
He don't like me, him and wild wifey was wit em
You heard of us, the murderers, most shady
Been on the low lately, the feds hate me
The son of *Satan*, they say my killin's too blatant
You hesitatin, I'm in your mama crib waitin
Duct tapin, your fam's destiny
lays in my hands, gat lays in my waist
Mavick Ma to the vi, ck Phenomenal My Man Shane Montez Unstoppable
Gun rest under your vest by the abdominal
Rhyme a few bars so I can buy a few cars
Winner by pinfall at 8:48 - The Whoresmen
(Chris Cash) Looks like The Whoresmen were dead on with their prediction, they advance to the Tag Team Tournament final next week. Who will they face? Kane and MKY or Pain and Donovan? We'll find out that answer a little later on tonight. We'll be right back after these words!
:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::
(Chris Cash) Welcome back to Full Throttle fans! Who will be the next man to challenge for the Pure Championship? Let's find out by going up to the ring!
Match to Determine the #1 Contender to the PWR Pure Championship
Anthony Montez vs Flash
Our next match showcases the men who were eliminated second and third in the Ultimate Endurance match at Second City Showdown, and now one of them will become the number one contender to the PWR Pure Championship, currently held by Duncan McCloud. "From The Inside" by Depswa comes over the PA and Flash steps from behind the curtain. Flash steps onto the stage and looks out upon the vast crowd here in Moline. Flash came in to PWR and the Pure Division, and now he has a chance to earn another shot at the Pure Title. Flash makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, and makes his way to his corner. Flash tugs on the ropes, getting out any kinks he may have. Flash waits patiently in his corner, as "We Are All on Drugs" by Weezer comes over the loudspeakers and out walks "The Future" Anthony Montez! Montez was just short of winning the Pure Title at Second City Showdown, and now he looks to earn a one on one shot against McCloud for the title. Montez makes his way down the ramp, high-fiving a few fans on the aisle, before climbing the steps and into the ring. Montez heads to his corner and the referee comes to make his checks on Anthony, having already performed them on Flash. The referee is satisfied that neither man is hiding any weapons and calls for the bell, getting this #1 contenders match started! Montez and Flash circle the ring, and come together quickly with a collar and elbow tie up. Flash takes advantage and swiftly transitions into an arm wrench. Montez drops to a knee, and Flash uses that to crank on the arm a little more, turning into an arm bar. Flash cranks the arm, trying to hyperextend the elbow of Montez. Montez works his way back to his feet and rakes the eyes of Flash, forcing him to break the hold. Flash retreats back to the ropes, rubbing at his eyes and Montez comes in and connects with a punch, rocking the cranium of Flash. Montez with an Irish whip in, Flash grabs onto the ropes on the opposite side! Montez was setting up for a forearm smash, but it wasn't to be! Montez charges Flash and connects with a clothesline and both men go tumbling over the ropes and to the floor! Montez is first back to his feet, and he pulls Flash to a standing base, and then smashes his face into the barricade! This is taking advantage of some of the things they won't be able to do in a Pure match! Flash slumps to a knee, but Montez pulls him back up. Montez grabs the right arm of Flash, and smashes it over the barricade! That was a smart attack by Anthony Montez, taking away Flash's finisher, The Falcon Arrow. It'll be very hard for Flash to use that arm to pick Montez up now! Flash crawls back in the ring, and Montez follows. Montez to the side of Flash, steps back, Standing Shooting Star Press! Montez with the lateral press, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash at two and a half! Montez quickly grabs the arm and locks in a shoulder lock. This move might not look like much, but it's going to cause some more pain in an already tender shoulder of Flash. The referee in position, asking Flash if he wants to give it up, and he replies no, rather emphatically. Flash works his way back up to a knee, the crowd is showing their support, clapping along as Flash gets to his feet! Flash with an elbow to the midsection of Montez, followed by two more, and the hold is broken! Flash off the ropes, Flash goes for a superkick, but Montez catches the leg! Flash swings wildly a couple times, and Montez starts to mock him! Montez turns his attention toward the crowd, and Flash quickly jumps up and catches him with the Enziguri! Montez drops face first on the mat! Flash into position, rolls Montez over, hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Montez! The weak arm of Flash may have just cost him a victory there! He had to hook the leg with the right arm, and that may have allowed Montez to kick out! Flash back to his feet, he pulls Montez up, connects with a couple of European uppercuts, right under the chin, knocking Anthony to the ropes. Flash with an Irish whip in, Montez reverses, Flash into the ropes, he leaps to the middle rope, leaps back with the cross body! Flash hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Montez! Nice counter by Flash, and he almost got the three count right there! Flash pulls Montez back to his feet, Flash hooks Montez by the waist, he lifts him in the air, Flash is struggling to hold on, he's got him in place, he clasps his hands, Cradle Piledriver! Devastating move! Jerry Lynn has put many men away with that move, can Flash do the same, Flash hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ Montez reaches out and grabs the rope! Great ring awareness from Montez, or he may have done that on instinct, who knows? Flash's head sinks when he sees Anthony's hand on the rope; he knows he probably should have had the win there. Flash pulls Anthony back to a standing base and backs him into the corner. Flash connects with a series of shoulder charges, before grabbing Montez and whipping him into the opposite side corner. Montez crashes into the buckles hard! Flash charges in, and Montez quickly jumps onto the top rope, and Flash's shoulder goes crashing into the ring post! That's just going to amplify the soreness he's already feeling there! Flash backs out from the post, Montez on the middle rope, he leaps, sunset flip, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash! He barely got the shoulder up, that was as close as you'll ever see! I thought it was over right there! Montez quickly back to his feet, he runs to the ropes, springboards off and connects with a dropkick right on the shoulder of Flash! Flash rolls around on the canvas in absolute agony, Montez scurries over makes the cover, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash! Flash showing his fortitude here tonight; he really wants that title shot, but so does Montez. Montez pulls Flash back to his feet, he backs him to the ropes, Irish whip in, Flash off the opposite side, Montez catches him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! What a move! Flash is down, and Montez springs back to his feet, and he gives the signal for the Gateway to the Future! Montez steps back, he's ready, Flash back to his feet, Montez steps into it and it connects! Superkick right on the button! Montez covers, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Flash! I can't believe it and neither can Anthony! How did Flash kick out? Anthony takes a moment before getting back to his feet, he steps back once again, and he's going for the Gateway one more time! A very groggy Flash slowly gets back to his feet, he turns Montez goes for the Gateway, and Flash ducks! Montez turns around, Flash kicks him in the midsection, hooks Montez, and starts to take him up, but the arm falters! Flash drops Montez off the side! He couldn't hold it! Flash grabs his shoulder, Montez jumps in from behind, he locks on the Future Finish! Flash is fighting it with everything he has! Flash runs toward the corner, ducks and Montez crashes face first into the top turnbuckle! Montez stumbles backward, Flash back to his feet, he walks over, hooks Anthony up, takes him up and he hits the Falcon Arrow!! He did it! Flash grimaces as he moves over to make the lateral press, he hooks the leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ 3!! Flash is the new number one contender!
Winner by pinfall at 14:57 and NEW #1 Contender to the Pure Title - Flash
(Chris Cash) Flash pulls off the stunning victory! What a match, it was neck and neck all the way! Flash comes out on top, and Anthony Montez will have to wait a little while before he gets a Pure Title shot. Right now, we have Dan Dexter standing by with one of the teams in the upcoming World Tag Team Title Tournament match, Dan?
(Dan Dexter) Thanks Chris, right now I'm with the ecletic team of "The Thrillbilly" Jericho Kane and "The Hot Commodity" Marcus K. Yelder. Tonight, you two take on Paul Pain and Shane Donovan to take one step closer to the PWR Tag Team Titles. Kane, what are your thoughts about this match tonight?
(Jericho Kane) Let me tell you my thoughts. Jericho Kane is glad to be teamed up with "The Hot Commodity" in this tourney. He has exactly the kind of attitude like mine; win at all cost.
(Dan Dexter) Marcus, what are you willing to do to win? Is there any price you won't pay to get to the finals?
(Marcus K. Yelder) Dan, I am willing to do anything and everything to win the PWR Tag Team Titles. I will pay any price to have that Tag Team gold around my waist.
(Dan Dexter) Do either of you have anything to say to your opponents before you go out there tonight?
(Jericho Kane) Paul Pain, you are without a doubt a hell of a competitor, but you see you fall short when it comes to intensity, and well Shane Donovan. Well this is personal because if memory serves me correctly you powerbombed me off of the stage area during the tourney to crown a Rated R Champion. Let's just say this. Donovan, you have a little "Southern Justice" coming your way, bitch! And if ya don't like that or me, then kiss my rebel ass.
(Marcus K. Yelder) Pain and Donovan, be ready for the fight of your lives because by hook or by crook MKY and Jericho Kane will leave no stone unturned to one step closer to tag team superstardom in the PWR.
(Dan Dexter) Thank you guys and good luck.
(Jericho Kane and MKY leave the backstage area and head towards the ring, as camera fades to commercial)
:::COMMERCIAL BREAK:::
(Chris Cash) Before the break, we heard some strong words from the new team. Let's see if their actions can cash the checks that their mouths wrote. Austin Hart, take it away.
Semifinal Match in the PWR World Tag Team Title Tournament
Jericho Kane & Marcus K. Yelder vs Paul Pain & Shane Donovan
Austin Hart takes the middle of the ring.
(Austin Hart) Ladies and gentlemen the next match is for the right to square off for the PWR Tag Team Championships.
("The South's Gonna Do It Again" by The Charlie Daniels Band plays as a Rebel Flag appears on the PWR-O-Tron)
(Austin Hart) Introducing first, weighing a total combined weight of 470 pounds, the team of Marcus K. Yelder and Jericho Kane.
(MKY and Jericho Kane walk to the ring)
(Chris Cash) Here comes...what? Terrell Yelder is here? Do we have video? Let's take it to the backstage for footage.
(Terrell Yelder is walking backstage and sees Isis, Chris Paige and John Woods walking into the arena late. Terrell purposely goes to see them)
(Terrell Yelder) A little late, are we?
(Isis) Yeah, what's it to you?
(Terrell Yelder) Nothing at all. I'm just glad there are some people that care about this hole as much as me.
(John Woods) What do you mean, our plane was late and then they lost our bags. Damn baggage claim.
(Chris Paige) It took us 3 hours to get our gear.
(Terrell Yelder) What? You guys wanna work here? For my little brother and shadow? For my nemesis?
(Isis) Yes I do, Synyster is great!
(Chris Paige) Brandon is cool too! What, you related to Brandon?
(Terrell Yelder) No, he is related to me! Who do you think you are talking to?
(John Woods) Obviously someone who has ego issues. Guys, let's go see Syn and tell him about our troubles.
(Terrell Yelder) About that, they already made a decision about your jobs. You were just fired.
(Terrell Temple Kicks Paige out of the door and then punches John Woods. Terrell refuses to punch Isis but throws her out of the building and tosses their bags to them and then closes the doors)
(Chris Cash) What the hell does Terrell think he is doing? He just assulted and "fired" the already "fired" Isis, John Woods and Christopher Paige. Anyway, both teams are in the ring and them match is already in progress. Donovan and Pain are in control and working over Jericho Kane. Let's get back down to more PWR action.
Pain has Kane in an abdominal stretch with his back to his corner and in an arm's reach of Donovan. The referee is in position to see if Kane gives up but out of position to see the assist in the stretch. Pain reaches back and Donovan grabs his hand and pulls back. Kane is in agony and yelping to the referee. After 6 seconds, the referee moves and Pain lets go of Donovan. The referee questions Donovan but Donovan just shakes his head in denial. The referee gets back into position and Donovan grabs Pain's outstretched hand and Kane is in trouble again. The referee moves faster this time but does not catch them. The referee moves back into position and Pain grabs Donovan again and pulls back. MKY runs into the ring to get the ref's attention and tell him about the double team antics of Pain and Donovan but the referee directs him back to his corner.
(Chris Cash) Come on ref! You know that Pain and Donovan are cheating. Are you all supposed to believe that referees are actually this dumb? Syn and Brandon must pay well because these refs play excellent idiots.
MKY gets to the corner and while he is being detained, Pain and Donovan switch places and Donovan locks an abdominal stretch on Kane. The referee turns around and pays no attention to the team switch. Donovan pulls back on Kane and stretches him more. Donovan reaches back and grabs Pain's hand. Immediately, the official moves into proper position and catches them. The referee kicks their hands and Kane takes advantage. He swivels his hips and kicks back with a mule kick to Donovan. Donovan is doubled over and holding his private parts. Kane takes advantage and flips back with a Kick From The Heavens.
(Chris Cash) Kane connected with that Pele kick and now it's only 5 feet away. What's five feet away? His future in this tag team tournament.
Donovan and Kage are down and both are crawling to their own corners. Kage is moving faster than Donovan but has a longer distance to go. Pain has his hand out for the tag and MKY is pounding on the top turnbuckle for the crowd response. Donovan gets to the tag first and Pain enters the ring. Kane sees Pain coming and rolls towards MKY and leaps for the tag. He makes it and MKY jumps into the ring and goes right after Pain. MKY catches Pain with a big forearm smash. Pain goes down and MKY runs through. Pain pops up and MKY runs after him for another forearm attack. Pain goes down and MKY runs through again. MKY runs back towards the rising Pain and spins. MKY swings through with a Dangan Elbow but Pain ducks. MKY spins around and Pain catches him for a German suplex. Pain throws him behind but MKY flips through. Pain gets up again and MKY swings with another Dangan Elbow and connects. Pain goes down and MKY covers, 1......2......Donovan pulls MKY off. Donovan goes to pull MKY up but Kane sprints across the ring and catches Donovan with a Yakuza Kick. Donovan falls hard and Kane goes to pull Pain up. Pain stands and grabs Kane by the throat and drives him down with the Pain Killer. Kane is out and Pain is down as well. MKY is the only one left and sees Pain down. MKY leaps up to the top rope and steadies himself. MKY leaps off and shoots high in the air, then driving himself all the way down with the Five Star Frog Splash. Pain is hurt and MKY is as well. MKY can't make the cover and Donovan recovers and enters the ring. MKY gets up and Donovan is right behind him. MKY turns around and Donovan catches MKY with a snapping, sudden enzugiri. MKY goes down hard and rolls out of the ring. Donovan looks for Kane and finds him. Donvan drags his body into the ring and hooks him for the E.N.D.! Donovan has him in the front face lock and goes for the suplex. Kane reverses it and rolls Donovan up, 1......2......3!
Winners by pinfall at 16:39 - Marcus K. Yelder and Jericho Kane
(Chris Cash) It looked like Donovan and Pain were on the verge of winning that match, and it's further proof that it only takes a split second for the tide to turn and it's MKY and Jericho Kane moving on to take on The Whoresmen for the World Tag Team Titles! That will happen next week on Full Throttle! It's going to be a great match!
(Camera switches backstage, where Stacy Warren is standing by with Duncan McCloud)
(Stacy Warren) Im standing here with Duncan McCloud. Duncan, we already saw that Flash will be the next challenger for your newly won PWR Pure Wrestling Championship, but first and foremost, you have the Rated R Champion Shane Meadows to contend with. Your thoughts?
(Duncan McCloud) Well, after looking at that Rated R match last week and saw all the blood and the carnage left in the wake of that, I guess you would be expecting me to say that I am a little scared of what might happen to me tonight. But that's not me. Im Duncan McCloud, pride of GreenCastle, Donegal, Ireland and this title over my shoulder right here, says I am the best WRESTLER in the World. Tonight, I prove it once again. Then, there's Flash. Flash is a former World Champion, but he's no match for me. When we meet up, it can go one of two ways. BOOM! Irish Car Bomb, or Irish Famine and I choke you out. The only certainty is that I will win and retain the Pure Championship.
(Scene fades back to ringside as McCloud walks away)
(Chris Cash) McCloud looks ready, let's get to the ring!
Special Attraction Match: Battle of Champions
(PWR Pure Champion) Duncan McCloud vs (PWR Rated R
Champion) Shane Meadows
What a night it has already been here in Moline! We have already had some upsets, and our next match has the potential to provide another! The two newest champions here in PWR will be on display in this one, both coming off incredible matches to win their respective titles, the Pure and Rated R, at Second City Showdown. "Nightmare" by Motorhead blares out over the PA here in the Mark, and out walks the PWR Rated R Champion, Shane Meadows! Meadows is wearing some bandages on his forehead and hands, showing some of his war wounds from last week's brutal tournament final against Shane Donovan. Meadows may have won the match, but he did not come away unscathed, that is for sure. Meadows makes his way down the ramp, his shiny new Rated R belt strapped around his waist, he's wearing that title with pride. Meadows climbs into the ring, and heads to the camera side of the ropes, and climbs up on the 2nd rope, and unstraps his title, before raising it high for all to see. Meadows takes in some cheers from the fans, before jumping off the ropes, as "Miseria Cantare" by AFI comes over the PA and out walks the PWR Pure Wrestling Champion, Duncan McCloud! I know for a fact that Duncan is proud to be wearing that title, when I spoke with him shortly after his win, he said he hadn't had too many opportunities to be the first champion anywhere, and he was proud to be able to accomplish that in PWR. McCloud makes his way down to the ring, and climbs in. McCloud holds the PWR Pure Title high for all to see, before looking over at his opponent in this "Battle of the Champions". The referee takes the title belts from both men and passes them off to the ring attendant, then calls for the bell and we're underway! McCloud and Meadows proving to be a little timid here in the early going, they are circling the ring, sizing each other up, and after about 20 seconds of posturing, they lock up in mid-ring. McCloud quickly goes on the offensive, locking in a side headlock. Meadows took a couple of big time chair shots in that match with Shane Donovan, we'll have to see what kind of role that will play in this one. McCloud adjusts his hands and really clamps down on the head of the Rated R Champion. Meadows tries walking McCloud back to the ropes, but McCloud is one step ahead, and he takes Meadows over and to the ground with a headlock takeover. Meadows shoulders are down, 1 ........ 2 ........ Meadows gets the shoulder up! McCloud keeps the headlock tight, but Meadows shifts his weight, and he's back on his side, trying to work his way up. Meadows to a knee and back to his feet, McCloud quickly turns the hold into a hammerlock, spinning around the back. McCloud cranks up on the arm, Meadows reaching for an opening, he walks toward the ropes and grabs hold, forcing a break. McCloud lets it go, and Meadows turns to face McCloud, and perhaps he's about to alter his strategy! Meadows starts to pace the ring, as does McCloud and they lock up in the middle of the ring once more. McCloud gets the momentum and pushes Meadows back to the ropes. It's been all McCloud thus far! The referee gets in the face of McCloud, trying to get the clean break, and McCloud starts to break, but he quickly connects with a big right hand to the face of Meadows, rocking him! McCloud gets some admonishment from the referee, but he just shrugs it off, and connects with another right that sends Meadows' head snapping back. McCloud with an Irish whip in, he connects with the clothesline! McCloud drops an elbow and covers Meadows, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Meadows! McCloud showing no hesitation, he pulls Meadows back to his feet and backs him into the corner. McCloud connects with a couple of shoulder charges in the corner, softening up the midsection! McCloud picks Meadows up and he sets him up on the top rope! Could McCloud be looking to hit the Muscle Buster? McCloud goes to hook Meadows, but Meadows connects with a punch, stunning the Pure Champion! Meadows with another and McCloud is down! Meadows stands on the middle rope, he leaps and hits the leg drop! Meadows covers, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by McCloud! Meadows looking to go on the offense here, he gets back to his feet, McCloud to his knees and Meadows lays into McCloud with the Krush Kombo, three very brutal kicks to the Pure Champion! McCloud took the final shot right in the mouth, and he slumps over and down to the mat! McCloud is groggy right now, Meadows needs to capitalize! Meadows pulls McCloud to his feet and hooks him up, traps the arms, takes McCloud up, Straight Jacket Northern Lights Bomb! McCloud landed right on his head! Meadows hooks the near leg, 1 ........ 2 ........ McCloud gets a foot on the ropes! Ring awareness being shown by the crafty veteran! McCloud rolls to the outside, trying to shake the cobwebs, Meadows backs up a few steps, it looks like Meadows is going to take to the air! Meadows off the ropes, he leaps going for a suicide dive, but McCloud dives out of the way at the last second and Meadows crashes right into the ring barrier headfirst! What impact! Both men are down! Who will win this Battle of the Champions? We'll be right back!

Welcome back to PWR Full Throttle folks, our Battle of the Champions match continues, and the reigning Rated R Champion looks like he might be on the verge of winning this match, he's got Pure Champion Duncan McCloud locked in the Indian Deathlock, one of Shane Meadows' many homages to Triple H, and McCloud is in dire straits here!

Meadows comes back in, and connects with a stomp to the back of the leg of McCloud. Meadows grabs McCloud's leg, and yanks on it, stretching it out even more! This work Meadows is doing on the leg of McCloud has almost assured us that McCloud will not be able to use his finisher, The Irish Car Bomb here tonight!

McCloud's in serious, no, wait! McCloud reaches up and takes Meadows over with a small package, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Meadows! Meadows quickly back to his feet and he connects with a boot right to the temple of McCloud! McCloud slumps back down to the mat, looking glassy-eyed! McCloud's going to have to find a way to turn the tide here; he couldn't react quickly enough after the small package reversal, but if he wants any chance of winning this match, he needs to find that one opening. Meadows pulls McCloud back to his feet, picks him up on his shoulders, looking for the D'Amoralizer perhaps! Meadows goes to throw McCloud off, but he reverses it into a roll up, the cover, 1 ....... 2 ........ kickout by Meadows! Meadows barely gets the shoulder up! Meadows up a little slower this time, McCloud pulls himself up, Meadows comes over, goes for a punch, blocked by McCloud, who connects with one of his own! McCloud with another punch, followed by a third, and Meadows is reeling! McCloud backs Meadows to the ropes, Irish whip in, and McCloud spins and connects with the Roaring Elbow, sending Meadows to the mat like a stone! McCloud quickly covers, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by Meadows! Both men fighting off near falls, trying to get bragging rights here in PWR! McCloud still favoring that leg, pulls himself back to his feet. McCloud pulls Meadows up by the hair and backs him to the ropes. McCloud whips Meadows into the ropes, Meadows off the opposite side, McCloud drops the head, Meadows stops short, he hooks McCloud's head, hits the Shell Shock! Swinging fisherman neckbreaker! Meadows covers, 1 ........ 2 ........ kickout by McCloud! What a match, several near falls in this one, everyone in Moline is on the edge of his or her seats watching this one! Meadows pulls McCloud up, McCloud's on wobbly legs here! Meadows bounces off the ropes, he goes for the clothesline, McCloud ducks, and he catches Meadows and connects with a Blue Thunder Driver! Which of these men will be able to capitalize and get the win? McCloud is down and he's not moving all that swiftly to cover Meadows, both are about spent! McCloud is up first, Meadows shortly behind, and they meet in the middle trading right hands! This one's breaking down into a slugfest! McCloud gets an advantage, rocking Meadows big time! McCloud bounces off the ropes and connects with the STO! Meadows' head ricocheted off the mat! McCloud covers, 1 ........ 2 ......... kickout by Meadows! Both men showing resiliency here tonight, showing us all why they are champions here in PWR!

McCloud drops Meadows with the suplex! McCloud back to his feet, he walks to the ropes and it looks like he's heading up! No way he can do this, his leg about buckled on the suplex! McCloud to the middle rope, looks like he's going to go for the B.M.E! McCloud tries getting his footing, but he can't! He's wasting a lot of time, and here comes Meadows! Meadows connects with a forearm to the back of McCloud, sending him forward, almost falling out of the ring! Meadows to the outside, onto the apron, and he's got a plethora of moves from the ropes, what's he going to try and do?

McCloud connects with the IRISH CAR BOMB!! My god! McCloud crawls toward Meadows, he drapes the arm over him, the count, 1 ........ 2 ........ 3! McCloud wins the Battle of Champions!
Winner by pinfall at 19:07 - Duncan McCloud
(Chris Cash) How did McCloud pull that off? I didnt think he was going to be able to, and then out of nowhere, Irish Car Bomb and it was academic after that! McCloud keeps rolling! Well fans, it's been a great night, and we have our main event coming up next! PWR World Heavyweight Title, Cruncher defends against Mary-Jane Montez. Can MJM pull off the win for women everywhere, or will Cruncher retain the title?
(Camera switches backstage, where Cruncher is standing by)
(Cruncher) Tonight, I go out in front of the fans in Moline as your PWR World Champion and defending against a person who thinks that she deserves to be world champion. MJ, I'm going to tell you straight up that nothing in this world is free. In this world, there are only 3 things that are certain. That would be taxes, death and me being the best in the world. Over my whole career I have shown superstar after superstar after superstar that I deserve to be the world's greatest. Now that my career is coming to a halt soon, people think they can catch me off guard and find my retirement as weakness. MJ, it will take more than a miracle to beat me. In the immortal words of Denzel Washington or Jamie Kennedy, whoever you ask, "King Kong ain't got nothing on me" and MJ, you don't quite look like Godzilla so consider this everyone's writing on the wall. I will walk in and out of that very right tonight with the same title. Your PWR World Heavyweight Champion.
(Cruncher turns to walk away and turns right into Mary-Jane Montez)
(Cruncher) Good luck Mary-Jane. You're gonna need it.
(MJM) Thanks Cruncher, but you're gonna need it just a little more. Cause I see RED. Blood red.
(MJM and Cruncher stare at each other, before going their seperate ways, as camera fades to commercial)
