Live from the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, Louisiana

September 10, 2001

±̊± Cyrus Segment ±̊± Cyrus comes out at the beginning of the show. He insults the fans as usual then hypes the show. He goes on to insult Kevin Nash. He looks at his clipboard and scratches something off. Then he informs us that Mr. Ass and Chris Jericho have been taken off the show. He then forces Albert into their spot, pitting him against Taz and Saturn in a handicapped match.

±̊± Al Snow vs Droz vs Hak(c)-Deathmatch Title ±̊± Extremely violent and bloody Deathmatch as all OCW Deathmatches are. This one has no barbed wire ropes because of the main event, but it makes up for it with tables wrapped in barbed wire and laced with fluorescent light bulbs! Toward the end of the match, the Macho Man makes a triumphant return to OCW after being out with terrible burns. He hits all three participants with a flaming chair then leaves. Droz manages to roll over and pin Hak to win the Deathmatch Title!

±̊± Cyrus’ Office ±̊± Kurt Angle walks in and seems worried about his match with Kevin Nash later tonight. Cyrus reassures Angle telling him that the match with be a “piece of cake”. His evil grin appears and the two nod.

±̊± Lita vs Tori(c)-Women’s Title Lita takes a beating at the beginning. Tori won’t let her pull anything off. Lita calls for help from the back, but no one comes out to help her while Tori had her locked in the sharpshooter. She makes it to the ropes and eventually turns the match around. Tori misses a splash and Lita nails the moonsault 1,2,3! Lita is the new Women’s Champion. She looks very angry after the match.

±̊± Cyrus’ Office ±̊± Albert barges through the door and scares Cyrus. He grabs him by the neck and forces him to put the Tag Team Titles up for grabs tonight. Cyrus agrees to save his own butt.

±̊± Christian vs Edge-Television Title Tournament Finals ±̊± Very good match up. Edge goes for a spear but Christian dodges it. Edge goes flying to the concrete on the outside. He pulls a ladder out from under the ring. Christian bounces off the middle turnbuckle and splashes the ladder into Edge. Edge regains control with the Downward Spiral, but Taz comes from out of the crowd and pulls the referee out. Taz slides a chair into the ring while arguing with the ref. Edge gets up to yell at Taz, he turns around and Christian nails him with the chair. Then Christian hits a reverse drop-down ddt on the chair. Taz pushes the ref in 1,2,3! Christian is the first ever OCW Television Champion!

±̊± Albert vs Taz and Saturn-Tag Team Titles ±̊± Albert managed to keep control for most of the match, beating Taz and Saturn down over and over again. But eventually it became too much. Saturn brought in a chair and nailed Albert in the back of the head. Taz then threw Albert with an amazing Tazplex and Saturn hit a flying elbow drop with the chair for the 1,2,3! Taz and Saturn retain the Tag Team Titles! After the match, Taz gets a chair and both him and Saturn continually beat on Albert with them. Finally Chris Jericho and Mr. Ass of D-Generation X come out and chase Taz and Saturn away.

±̊± Backstage ±̊± Kevin Nash is seen talking to someone in his locker room...

±̊± Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy(c)-Intercontinental Title Ladder Match ±̊± Lots of “O-C-Dub!” chants in this match! Matt and Jeff are on a ladder on the stage. Jeff knocks Matt off but Matt lands on his feet. He pushes the ladder over and Jeff ends up going right through the OCW Tron!! Later on in the match they are back in the ring. Matt is climbing the ladder for the title, Jeff climbs to the top turnbuckle and throws a chair at Matt. Matt catches it, Jeff jumps off the top turnbuckle and dropkicks the chair into Matt’s face. Matt falls to the outside and crashes through two tables. After both get back up, they climb the ladder again. Matt crotches Jeff on the top of the ladder then follows up with the Diamond Dust off the top of the ladder! Matt gets back up and climbs to the top of the ladder. As he almost has the belt, Jeff dropkicks the ladder and Matt goes flying to the outside and crashes through the Spanish announce table. Jeff sets the ladder back up, climbs to the top, and grabs the belt. Jeff Hardy retains the Intercontinental Title!

±̊± Backstage ±̊± As the crew repairs the OCW Tron, Kalissa Leblanc talks to Matt Hardy about his match. Matt says even though his brother managed to win tonight, that it’s still not over between them. He says he’s the better of the two and everyone knows that. He’ll prove it to Jeff soon enough.

±̊± Kevin Nash vs Kurt Angle-Grudge Match ±̊± Kevin Nash would have dominated this match, but Kurt Angle constantly cheated. Angle goes for the Olympic Slam but Nash manages to slide off his shoulders. He whips Angle into the ropes and hits a sidewalk slam. Nash nails the big boot, then goes for the Jacknife powerbomb. Angle pushes Nash toward the ropes as Cyrus comes out. He breaks his clipboard over the back of Nash’s head when the referee wasn’t looking. Angle hits the Olympic Slam and pins Nash. 1...2...3! Cyrus gets in the ring and celebrates with Kurt Angle. They push Nash out of the ring. Nash walks up the stage and gets a microphone. He tells Cyrus he’d like him to meet someone...

±̊± What’s This!? ±̊± Kevin Nash’s music hits and out comes...Stephanie McMahon!! Cyrus’ jaw drops. Nash gives Steph the mic...she says Cyrus is unfair and unjust. That will be no more though. She is sick of seeing him abuse his power and punish the innocent with his power. That will be no more also. Nash told Cyrus that he has friends in high places...and he was right. Steph will not stand by and watch Cyrus do what he has been doing lately. From now on, Steph will oversee Cyrus and will make sure the tyranny comes to an end. And just to make sure Cyrus doesn’t try to pull anything behind her back...she introduces: The Office: Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Mike Awesome, and Shane Douglas! She says that although Cyrus may be with the Office...she IS the Office! She tells Cyrus that she is the President. She OWNS him. The Office then leaves and the fans go crazy!

±̊± Triple H vs Raven(c)-OCW World Title Two Out of Three Falls Match ±̊±

-First Fall-Raven’s Rules Triple H goes for the Pedigree, but Raven back body drops him over the top rope to the outside and through a table. He hits a Russian Legsweep into the barricades then takes Triple H back into the ring. He bloodies Triple H with an evenflow ddt on a chair. 1...2...3! Raven wins the first fall!

-Second Fall-Steel Cage Match Triple H makes an astounding comeback. He rakes Raven’s forehead across the chain linked fence. Raven grabs the chair that was already in the ring but Triple H smashes it back into his face with a running knee lift. Raven hits a drop toe hold sending Triple H face first into the open chair. He climbs up to the top of the cage. Just before he can climb over, Triple H makes his way to the top. He suplexes Raven off the top of the steel cage and covers him. 1...2...3! Triple H wins the second fall!

-Third Fall-Barbed Wire Match The cage raises and the crew removes the ring ropes replacing them with barbed wire. This gives both men a little time to rest. Triple H goes right at Raven. He whips him right into the barbed wire. Triple H pulls a piece of the barbed wire out and wraps it around his fist. He continually nails Raven in the forehead with it opening his cut even more. Blood flows from Raven’s head as Triple H digs the barbed wire in more. Raven manages to hit a low blow, then drops Triple H neck first onto the barbed wire. They roll out of the ring and Triple H piledrives Raven on the steel steps. He gets Raven on top of the announce table and Pedigrees him right through it! Raven somehow kicks out. They get back in the ring and Triple H rushes at Raven. Raven catches HHH with a drop toehold into the second barbed wire rope! Raven gets Triple H in a headlock and scrapes his face across the barbs, then bulldogs Hunter on a chair. 1...2..Triple H kicks out. Triple H cracks Raven in the head with the chair and hits a suplex. He goes for the Pedigree but Raven drops him and slingshots him into the barbed wire once again! Raven pulls some barbed wire out and wraps it around the chair. Triple H gets up only to be knocked down with an evenflow on the chair wrapped in barbed wire. A bloody Raven rolls over on top of a bloody Triple H...1...2...3! Raven retains the OCW World Title!
