CHAMPION: SABU RESULTS Narrator:"In time, there have been many violent wars. OLD BLACK AND WHITE TAPES ARE SHOWN FROM WORLD WAR 2 AND VIETNAM. But this is a different kind of war. FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF VINCE McMAHON SMACKING HIS SON SHANE OVER THE HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF SHANE BECOMING THE NEW OWNER OF WCW2. THE SCREEN THEN FADES OUT AND 2 YOUNG KIDS ARE SHOWN PLAYING IN A YARD NEAR DUSK. THEY COME TO A TALL CHAIN LINK FENCE AND PEER INSIDE. THERE IS A GLOWING LIGHT SHINING UPON A WRESTLING RING INSIDE. PICTURES THEN ROTATE OF AN ANGRY VINCE McMAHON AND A SMILING SHANE McMAHON AND THE CAMERA ZOOMS INTO THE RING INSIDE THE YARD. SHANE AND MEMBERS OF THE NWO COME OUT OF A DARK PART OF THE YARD AND ENTER THE RING. Narrator:"Tonight, two worlds collide and only the strong will come out on top". Shane:"Hey pops, this is our yard, are you ready"? THE CAMERA THEN SHOWS THE INSIDE OF THE PEPSI CENTER AND 23,251 SCREAMING FANS. VARIOUS SIGNS CAN BE SEEN IN THE CROWD INCLUDING ONE OF SHANE LYING ON THE STREET AND A PICTURE OF AHMED WALKER STANDING OVER HIM. THERE IS ANOTHER SIGN SAYING "WAKEMAN DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE". A 45 SECOND FIREWORKS SHOW KICKS THINGS OFF AS BOTH ORGANIZATIONS BROADCAST TEAMS OPEN THE SHOW. Jim Ross:"Hello everyone and welcome to one of the most unique events of all time. I don't think I've ever been involved in a more electric atmosphere than the one here in Denver tonight and King, we've got one hell of a card lined up"! Jerry Lawler:"This is gonna be great J.R. to see that crappy company WCW2 finally learn what they'll have to do if they ever wanna get to our level! Oh and by the way, we've got a couple of idiots about five feet away tonight and if they watched Tidal Wave, they'll know not to smart off at the announce table"! J.R.:"Well we've got a couple of WCW2's announcers broadcasting next to us in this simulcast pay-per-view where fans can call and order the TWF version or the WCW2 version". Lawler:"Well not to rub it in J.R., but the last time I was told the figures, the TWF version has gotten over one hundred thousand buys"! A NEW JAPANESE THEME SONG HITS AS YUJI MATASAMO COMES OUT WITH THE GREAT MUTA AS FOOTAGE FROM FREE 4 ALL IS SHOWN. J.R.:"We're gonna get things started tonight with a match that was added to the card at the last minute. We saw the lightheavyweight champion Yuji Matasamo challenge Weapon R and Tajiri to this tag team match without a partner". WEAPON R's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD RECEPTION. Lawler:"Yeah and we soon found out that he had a partner in the Great Muta who made his return to the TWF". TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.:"Those fans who've seen Muta compete know he's one hell of a threat to any man, any size and Tajiri and Weapon R have their work cut out for them tonight". Yuji Matasamo and The Great Muta vs. Tajiri and Weapon R This was an exciting match that got the fans buzzing right away. Matasamo started things off with Weapon R and the 2 big rivals had a great series in the ring. But after a nice dragon leg whip, Weapon R tried to bounce off the ropes and caught a kick to the back of the head by Muta. Matasamo then made the tag and Muta came right in and attacked Weapon R. He was very impressive as he came off the middle of the ring ropes with a flying spin kick followed by a drop toe hold into the bottom turnbuckle. But after ducking several moves as he came off the ropes, Weapon R caught Muta with a flying forearm and crawled to his corner to tag in Tajiri. Tajiri came in and turned the chest of Muta bright red as he used some hard knifedge chops. He then whipped him into the ropes and used a flipping back elbow to take Muta off his feet. Tajiri then whipped Muta into the corner and locked in the tarantula as he came in. But Matasamo jumped off the apron and nailed Tajiri in the head, knocking him to the floor. Matasamo then made the tag as Muta went after Tajiri and the two fought right up against the barracade as referee Mike Chioda tried to make them return. In the ring, Weapon R hit Matasamo with a nice succession of moves and followed a tornado ddt with the "Shanghai Bomb". He had Matasamo beat but Chioda's attention was on Muta and Tajiri. All of a sudden, japanese superstars Masahiro Chono and Hayabusa came out of the crowd. Hayabusa hit Weapon R with a chair in the back and when Weapon R got up, Hayabusa held a chair in front of him and Chono used a hard superkick, blasting the chair right into Weapon R's face. Jim Ross:"What the hell are Chono and Hayabusa doing here"?! Lawler:"I don't know, but look at this J.R."! After Chono and Hayabusa exited, Matasamo used a fisherman ddt and got the pin on Weapon R. Outside the ring, Tajiri was being mauled by Muta, Chono and Hayabusa. They rolled Tajiri in the ring and the four men, Matasamo, Muta, Chono and Hayabusa stood together over Weapon R and Tajiri, with their arms raised and smiling. J.R.:"What the hell is the meaning of this? How did those two get here"? Lawler:"I got it J.R.! Those were the other two ninjas"! J.R.:"It seems as though some sort of Japanese alliance has formed! Are these guys a part of the TWF"? BACKSTAGE CAMERAS ARE SET ON A DOOR THAT LEADS TO THE PARKING LOT WHEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH COME THROUGH AND THE FANS CHEER IN UNISON. WAKEMAN IS CARRYING A DUFFEL BAG AND LOOKS VERY FOCUSED. Lawler:"There he is! D.W. Jones, I hope you've got a good hiding spot"! J.R.:"Wakeman looks focused but I have an uneasy feeling about his brother's confidence". WCW2 MATCH: Hardcore Title/Octagon 2 Challenger... The Extreme vs. Frank King The Extreme became the new Hardcore champion by submission in a bloodfest. OUTSIDE THE ARENA THE NWO LIMO PULLS UP. TWF VS. WCW2 Bahamut vs. Kurt Angle This match didn't have a long time to build up a real story prior to the ppv but Angle and Bahamut made sure it was hard hitting. After a series of right hands, Angle impressed the fans with a big belly to belly suplex on the big man. But Bahamut was like a man possessed as nothing Angle did seemed to have much effect. Bahamut got back into the match with a big clothesline that nearly decapitated the Olympian. Bahamut stayed in control with a gorilla press slam and a chokeslam. After the chokeslam, Bahamut went for the cover but didn't hook the leg and Angle kicked out at 2. Angle fought his way back up with right hands and caught Bahamut with an overhead suplex. Angle took the straps down on his gear and got into a zone. With Bahamut down, Angle locked in the ankle lock in the center of the ring. But pure grit and determination by Bahamut got him to the ropes but he was in a lot of pain. Angle whipped Bahamut to the corner and followed him in with a clothesline. Angle then set Bahamut up on the top turnbuckle and climbed up. That's when the move of the night occurred. Angle went for a hurracanrana off the top rope but he couldn't turn it over and on the way down, Bahamut countered with a devastating powerbomb when Stephanie McMahon came running down the aisle. Bahamut clearly had the win as the referee made the count, 1......2..... but Stephanie pulled the ref out of the ring! Bahamut got up and grabbed Stephanie by the hair but Angle came from behind with a low blow, which went undetected by the official and used a german suplex to get the win. J.R.:"Bahamut has just been screwd by Stephanie and not in the way that'd come to mind"! Lawler:"Look at Kurt and Steph"! KURT ANGLE GIVES STEPH A HUGE HUG OUT OF EXCITEMENT AFTER HIS WIN. BACKSTAGE SHANE McMAHON IS IN HIS DRESSING ROOM DOING SOME SHADOWBOXING WHEN TORRIE WILSON COMES IN. Torrie Wilson:"Hey Shane". Shane:"Oh hey Torrie, what's up"? Torrie:"Well, I just wanted to know if you wanted me at ring side tonight. I mean, I know you're gonna kick Ahmed's ass but he did say he wanted me at ringside". Shane:"Oh, so what, do you still have feelings for that loser"? Torrie:"Oh god no". Shane:"Okay, well then yeah, you can be at ringside to watch him suffer at the hands of Shane-O-Mac. Cause ya see Torrie, this is WCW2's night. Check the scoreboard, we're already up. So I want you at ringside so you can see first hand that you now work for a much better company than you used to". TORRIE SMILES WITH SHANE. CHRISTIAN's NEW THEME SONG HITS AS FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO HIS MATCH WITH HIS BROTHER. J.R.:"Well Shane, I believe the TWF is still number one and we have plenty more oppurtunities to prove that tonight. But right now, one of the best teams in TWF history, brothers Edge and Christian, are about to lock horns here". "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" HITS AS EDGE COMES OUT. Lawler:"I never thought we'd see this day J.R. but it's time to answer every fans question. Which brother is better"? Christian vs. Edge This was one of the better matches all night as the heated fued came to a head. Edge got the advantage over his brother early on, using several arm drags and hip tosses to take him off his gameplan. He then caught him with a dropkick and Christian retreated to the outside of the ring for a quick breather. But Christian came back in with a shoulder to the gut from the apron followed by a sunset flip. Christian then ducked a clothesline and caught Edge with a reverse ddt onto his knee which earned him a 2 count. Edge then ducked a clothesline and hit Christian with a quick russian leg sweep before going to the top rope. Edge came off with a high flying cross body but when he landed, Christian reversed his momentum and hooked the tights. Edge was barely able to kick out but he did. The match continued at a frantic pace when Christian came off the ropes attempting a flying forearm but Edge moved and he nailed referee Tim White, knocking him out of the ring. Suddenly, Faith came running down the aisle and went up to the top rope. In the surprise of the night, she came off the top rope with a missile dropkick, taking out Edge! Christian then picked up the assist by dumping Edge with the "Unprettier" as White got back in the ring and made the 3 count. J.R.:"Please tell me this young girl hasn't done this, not after everything Christian did to her"! CHRISTIAN AND FAITH LEAVE THE RING TOGETHER WITH HUGE SMILES ON THEIR FACES. Lawler:"It sure looks like it J.R."! BACKSTAGE Michael Cole:"Jordan, can you tell us what match you have decided for your Spin the wheel, make the deal match with Drew Blood tonight"? Jordan Rockwell:"Ya know Michael, thanks to my baby Lita, I now have the power to select any match I want to face Drew Blood in. So Drew, we're gonna find out how bad you really are tonight cause we're gonna be in a match the TWF has never seen before. Tonight, we will be in the first ever House of Horror match! The only way to win, is to escape! Are ya up to it Drew? I'll see ya out there". Cole:"One more thing Mr. Rockwell. Is Lita gonna come out there with you"? Rockwell:"Are you kidding? After what Drew Blood did to her. She won't be anywhere near this one. Besides, I just want it to be me and him, no excuses". Cole:"Alright, there ya have it, back to you guys". J.R.:"What the heck is a House of Horror match"? Lawler:"We're gonna find out later tonight"! WCW2 Match Scott Hall vs. Devon Cage Devon Cage won with "Caged Fury" to defeat Hall and end his WCW2 career. BRIEF INTERMISSION FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE ROCK MAKING AN OPEN CHALLENGE TO ANYONE IN WCW2 FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF SABU ATTACKING HIM BACKSTAGE ON RAW, THUS ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE. THE TEAM EXTREME THEME THEN HITS AS SABU COMES OUT WITH THE WCW2 T.V. TITLE. J.R.:"We've got another interpromotional matchup here as the TWF trys to tie things up and what a match this should be King". Lawler:"Sabu has been one of the most consistent superstars in WCW2 this year but he's never faced anyone like the Peoples champ"! TWF VS. WCW2 The Rock vs. Sabu This was possibly the best match all night as the very athletic Rock met the tough to deal with style of Sabu. The Rock used his right hands to batter Sabu right away but Sabu absorbed it well. But The Rock made a mistake when he whipped Sabu into the ropes but put his head down too early. Sabu got a kick to the chest in and then hit The Rock with a barrage of knifedge chops and a jumping facebuster. Sabu went for a quick cover but only got a 2 count. The crowd got behind The Rock but they saw him take a severe beating from Sabu. After ducking a jumping roundhouse kick, The Rock hit Sabu with the "Rock Bottom" out of nowhere and went for the cover the referee made the count, 1......2...... but somehow Sabu got a shoulder up! Frustrated, The Rock went for a second "Rock Bottom" but Sabu elbowed him in the side of the head. He then went for a suplex but The Rock blocked it, turned Sabu upside down and dropped him with a deathdrop ddt. The Rock hooked the leg and got the pin. J.R.:"Alright! The Rock has put the TWF back into the game"! Lawler:"Look out"! SABU WASN'T DONE. HE CAME FROM BEHIND AND HIT THE ROCK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK. HE THEN WENT UP TOP FOR HIS "ARABIAN FACEBUSTER" BUT THE ROCK MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND DROPPED SABU WITH THE "ROCK BOTTOM" WHEN HE LANDED. HE THEN SET UP FOR THE PEOPLE's ELBOW AS THE CROWD WENT NUTS. AFTER TOSSING HIS ELBOW PAD INTO THE CROWD, THE ROCK HIT THE ELBOW AS HIS MUSIC BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS. J.R.:"That's how the TWF does business"! Lawler:"The Rock has just dismantled the WCW2 tv champion"! BACKSTAGE Vince McMahon:(laughing)"Ya see, that's what WCW2 can look forward to all night long". Michael Cole:"Well, in all seriousness Mr. McMahon, between your alliance and the Hardcore Revolution, you only have nine guys. You need ten for that battle royale". Vince:"Don't you think I know that? I'll tell ya this Michael Cole, we have a tenth man and lets just say that he's revisited his past and he has agreed to help the TWF cause tonight". Lawler:"Who could that be J.R."? J.R.:"I don't have a clue, but if he's gonna help the TWF, I'm a fan of his". FOOTAGE OF KANE BEING GORED INTO A VENIDING MACHINE ON RAW IS SHOWN AS RHYNO's MUSIC HITS. Lawler:"Here we go J.R., it's time for the Intercontinental title match and here comes the manbeast"! J.R.:"The Detroit native Rhyno has a golden oppurtunity here but he's gonna have his hands full with the big red machine". KANE's MUSIC HITS ALONG WITH HIS PYRO. Lawler:"Ahhh"! J.R.:"And here he comes, this one's got slobberknocker written all over it"! TWF Intercontinental Title Match Challenger.... Rhyno vs. Kane This was a slugfest from start to finish and Kane had a real struggle with Rhyno. Rhyno pounded away on Kane early and attacked his ribs with some hard shoulder thrusts while he was in the corner. But he whipped Kane to the corner and charged in after him but Kane move and the tide quickly turned. Kane hit Rhyno with a tilt-a-whirl sideslam followed by a reverse suplex. But Rhyno hung in there, blocking a chokeslam with a kick to Kane's knee. After Kane let go of his grip, Rhyno went for a big clothesline but Kane ducked and caught Rhyno with a big boot to the face. Kane then ascended the top rope and went for his diving lariat but Rhyno moved and right as Kane turned around, Rhyno blasted him with the Gore to get the 1....2....3. J.R.:"What a Gore by Rhyno! He has put an end to Kane's long reign as Intercontinental champ"! Lawler:"I didn't think the Gore was that powerful! What a win for the manbeast"! AN AD FOR TWF.COM IS SHOWN DURING A SHORT INTERMISSION. WCW2 Match WCW2 Intercontinental Title Match Challenger... Booker T vs. King T Booker T became new champion after using the "Book End". BACKSTAGE MICK FOLEY AND THE INSANE BASTARD MEET WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON AND MR. NORTON TAZ' MUSIC HITS AS THE MFW LOGO APPEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING IN PURPLE LIGHTING. TAZ COMES DOWN THE AISLE TO A MIXED REACTION. Lawler:"Oh man J.R., here's the big mouth that I wanna see get taught a lesson tonight"! J.R.:"Well that's gonna be easier said than done. Let's go backstage where Lilian Garcia is standing by with the TWF Hardcore champion Strife". BACKSTAGE Lilian Garcia: Thank you J.R., Strife, tonight you face Taz, who has been the most vocal person of WCW....or MFW for that matter, viciously making statements that the TWF has no chance in beating their organization, and that most of all, you are going to take the beating that no one in the TWF has been able to give you, what is your opinion on.......
:::Strife snatches the mic from Lilian:::
Strife: "So Taz, YA WANNA RUN YA MOUTH AGAIN AND AGAIN, SAYIN THA LOCOMOTIVE AIN'T GOT A CHANCE? Taz we all know yo ass been runnin, RUNNIN CAUSE YA KNOW EVA SINCE YA ATTACKED ME....a trains been followin afta ya. YA DIDN'T SEE IT AT FIRST.....but ya knew it was there.

YA KNEW.....that we would havta meet. Now Taz.....now we're at Welcome Ta Our Yard. AND I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION TAZ. THA SAME QUESTION I ASKED YA DUMB ASS BEFO........do ya here a train comin?
STRIFE DROPS THE MIC AND WALKS AWAY. "FALLING AWAY FROM ME" BY KORN HITS AS STRIFE SLOWLY WALKS DOWN THE AISLE WITH THE TWF HARDCORE BELT, STARING A HOLE THROUGH TAZZ WHO IS YELLING AT HIM TO GET INTO THE RING. TWF VS. WCW2 Strife vs. Taz Taz was all over Strife like an animal before the bell even rang. He focused on the kidney area of the big man and after several stifling shots, he had Strife in a great deal of pain. Taz then began to work on Strife's legs in an attempt to destroy his vertical base. But Strife got a burst of adrenaline and threw Taz over the top rope and out to the floor. There, Strife rammed Taz face first into the announce table and then whipped him into the steel ring steps. Strife then rolled Taz back into the ring but Taz used a blatant low blow which the WCW2 referee didn't seem to worry about. After a belly to belly suplex, Taz caught Strife with the "Humanity" and went for the cover. The WCW2 ref used an accelerated count, 1..2.., but Strife somehow kicked out! Strife then ducked a wild swing and caught Taz with a devastating running boot to the face that sent a wad of spit flying from Taz's mouth. Strife took the semi-concious Taz and set him on the top turnbuckle and hit him with the "Derailer". Strife made the cover and ordered the WCW2 ref to count, 1.....2.....3. J.R.:"Strife has done it! The TWF is right back in the ball game"! Lawler:"We needed that one! I can't wait to hear what Taz has to say about the beating he just took"! BACKSTAGE FAITH IS STANDING BACKSTAGE OUTSIDE CHRISTIAN's DRESSING ROOM WHEN CAMMIE COPELAND CONFRONTS HER. Cammie:"Hey Faith, what the heck are you thinking? Why did you do that to Edge"? Faith:"Cammie, save it, we've got a match to think about". Cammie:"Listen, I'm not going out there with you until you tell me your reasons for costing Edge that match tonight". Faith:"I have nothing to tell you Cammie". Cammie:"Well you..... SUDDENLY, CHRISTIAN COMES FROM BEHIND AND HITS CAMMIE IN THE BACK WITH A STEEL CHAIR, JERKING HER HEAD FORWARD. FAITH, WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HERE FACE, WALKS AWAY WITH CHRISTIAN. J.R.:"What has gotten into Faith"? Lawler:"Christian has got her believing something J.R.". J.R.:"Someone needs to put an end to Christian's cowardly attacks on women no matter what he's preaching". "HERE COMES THE MONEY" BY NAUGHTY BY NATURE HITS AS SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT. OVER HIS SHOULDER, HE HAS A SHINY TITLE BELT. Lawler:"Here comes the boy wonder. What's he gonna do out here"? J.R.:"And where'd this new title he's got with him come from, a cracker jack box"? Shane McMahon:"Before I come out here to whip Ahmed Walker's ass in front of you all, I have a big announcement to make. Ya see, Mick Foley and the Insane Bastard have decided to up the stakes of tonight's big battle royale. Not only will the winning company earn bragging rights forever, but the man who wins the match will win this. (he holds up the new belt) This is the brand new Global title. Now we all know it will go to someone from WCW2, it's just a matter of who. Everyone on my team is going to remain a mystery until match time but I'll tell ya this, they are hungry, they have the talent to take out the TWF and they want the Global title to stay with us. Oh and Ahmed, I hope you're ready for tonight". SHANE THROWS THE MIC DOWN AS "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AGAIN AND HE WALKS BACK UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP. J.R.:"Shane sure seems confident about something". Lawler:"I'm starting to get a real uneasy feeling J.R.. Shane has something big planned, I can feel it"! J.R.:"Nonetheless, the man who wins the battle royale tonight will become the first ever Global champion. But up next, we've got one of our high profile matches, take a look". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE HISTORY BETWEEN CHRIS JERICHO AND VAL VENIS AS THE STEEL CAGE IS LOWERED. VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS. J.R.:"I have a feeling that this one's not gonna be pretty folks". Lawler:"Val almost ended Jericho's career the last time they fought in a cage. Maybe this time, he'll put him out for good". THE COUNTDOWN APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL AS CHRIS JERICHO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. J.R.:"I have a good feeling this will be Jericho's night and I expect a big showing out of both these guys". This one didn't go as long as predicted but it was a toss up. Val used the cage as an ally more than Y2J did, grinding Jericho's face against the cage. Val kept pouring on the offensive attack and used a more agressive style than we're accustomed to seeing out of him. But behind the fans, Jericho got back into it with his trademark knifedge chops. He then used the cage as a springboard, jumping off of it and dropkicking Venis in the head. Y2J had the crowd on their feet but for some reason, he didn't seem totally focused. Venis used a lowblow and followed that by picking Jericho up and tossing him like a javeline at the cage. He then tried a fisherman suplex but Jericho blocked it and escaped with a couple of jabs to the side. Jericho then came off the ropes and ran through Venis with a flying forearm. Jericho tried to follow that up with the Lion Sault but Venis rolled out of the way and took something out of his tights. It was a long piece of thick rope. He took Jericho and tied him to the cage, giving him enough time to climb over the cage. Once he was about half way over, Jericho untied himself but it was too late. J.R.:"Val Venis has won the match albeit in a rather unfair manner". Lawler:"There's no dqs in cage matches, it was legal"! J.R.:"Well Jericho showed he is at one hundred percent and he'll be back at the top of the ladder soon". BACKSTAGE.... VINCE's OFFICE.... STONE COLD COMES IN WITH THE TWF TITLE. Vince:"Hey Steve, what's up"? Stone Cold:"Vince, I need to know that I've got this one in the bag tonight. I need your gaurantee". Vince:"Steve, I've got so many things on my mind right now, I mean this battle royale and my huge surprise entry, I can't gaurantee anything, but you know you can beat Triple H, you don't have anything to worry about". Stone Cold:"You're right, I'm gonna whip his ass from one side of the ring to the other, what was I thinking, I'm Stone Cold Steve Austin". AUSTIN TURNS AND LEAVES. VINCE SITS DOWN AND PUTS HIS HANDS OVER HIS FACE. J.R.:"What is wrong with Mr. McMahon? He seems worried". Lawler:"Can you imagine the stress the man's under J.R.? Everything will be fine once we take care of WCW2 once and for all"! WCW2 Match The Prophecy vs. The Dudley Boyz The Prophecy beat WCW2's newest team in a very one sided match. J.R.:"Well folks, Cammie Copeland has been checked by medical personnel in the back and they have confirmed that she has suffered a mild concussion from the chair shot she just received from Christian and her tag team match with Faith has subsequently been cancelled". Lawler:"What a weird story that one is. Hopefully, we'll learn more about it on RAW". "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AGAIN AS THE BELL SOUNDS FOR THE STREET FIGHT. SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT WITH TORRIE WILSON WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS "SHANE-O-MAC, THE ORIGINAL BAD BOY". J.R.:"This one will not be for the weak of heart, it's time for the street fight". Lawler:"Well Ahmed, you better take Shane seriously, he may just be the owner of WCW2 but he's in his element here". "BAD BOY 4 LIFE" BY PUFF DADDY HITS AS AHMED WALKER COMES OUT CARRYING A BASEBALL BAT. J.R.:"Oh boy, Walker's got an equalizer with him". Lawler:"When this guy first broke into the TWF, he carried a baseball bat with him all the time". TWF VS. WCW2 Street Fight Ahmed Walker vs. Shane McMahon This was a war as the 2 men whaled on each other with anything in sight. Shane used his quick jabs early but Walker shrugged them off and used a nice samoan drop. He then put a trash can over Shane's head and smacked it several times with the baseball bat. But when he removed the trash can, Shane quickly low blowed him and hit him with the trash can lid. With Walker down, Shane went outside the ring and found a kendo stick from underneath the ring. He whacked Walker with the kendo stick twice before Walker grabbed the stick and threw Shane to the mat with it. After a big powerslam, Walker went up top for his guillotine leg drop when Torrie Wilson got onto the apron and went and pushed Walker off the ropes. Shane then set him in the corner and hit him with a bronco buster. Shane went for the cover but only got a two and a half count. Walker then shot up and took Shane out with a huge clothesline. He then went and grabbed Torrie by the hair when Lance Storm came to the ring and cracked Walker in the face with a superkick. He and Shane then laid out a steel chair and used a spike piledriver on the chair. Shane then covered Walker and got the pin. J.R.:"Oh come on! How many times are we gonna get screwed tonight"?! Lawler:"Why is Lance Storm helping Shane"? LANCE STORM AND TORRIE HELP A HURT SHANE UP AND THEY ALL LEAVE TOGETHER AS SHANE's MUSIC PLAYS. J.R.:"This is just ridiculous"! BACKSTAGE INSIDE THE HARDCORE REVOLUTION's DRESSING ROOM, WALLY WILLSON TRIES TO REV UP HIS MEN. Wally Willson:"Alright boys, this is the moment we've been wating for since the days of the W.H.W.F.. Our chance to shine in front of the whole world. So tonight, we'll work with the alliance and we will win the battle royale, but starting on RAW, we are no longer allies with Vince McMahon and his alliance. Are you with me"? THE MEMBERS OF THE REVOLUTION BEGAN TO GET VERY LOUD AND FIRED UP. J.R.:"I'm glad to see that they're ready, we've gotta stick it to WCW2 for the rest of the night". FOOTAGE OF THE EVENTS LEADING TO THE SPIN THE WHEEL, MAKE THE DEAL MATCH ARE SHOWN AS A RED HAZE COMES OVER THE CROWD AND DREW BLOOD's MUSIC HITS. Lawler:"Here we go, Drew Blood is gonna enter this House of Horror". J.R.:"This can be a very dangerous match fans and it is the first of it's kind in TWF history. The rules are simple, the first man to escape this house of horror wins". "THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT. Lawler:"I'm gonna miss Lita being out here tonight but I can't say I blame Rockwell for not wanting her here". J.R.:"This is the match that Rockwell selected and only one man may make it out of this one". Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal House of Horror Match Drew Blood vs. Jordan Rockwell The two combatants entered what appeared to be an abandoned building outside the arena. It was dark and pretty empty. But there was plenty of room for a fight and that's exactly what it was. Drew Blood came at Rockwell immediately with a piece of wood but Rockwell dodged him and threw him into the wall. Referee Jim Corderis put padlock on the door as Rockwell took Drew Blood to the other side of the building where there was a chain link wall where he drug his face across. Drew Blood used an elbow to the midsection followed by ramming Rockwell's head into the wall. Drew Blood then used a footsweep and an eye gouge with his boot. Drew Blood then put on an STF and Rockwell was in extreme pain as Drew Blood didn't have to let go. He finally relinquished the hold and went to ram Rockwell into the wall again but he blocked it and used a russian leg sweep followed by his sambo suplex that he calls the Rock Smasher. But Drew Blood crawled to a dark part of the building and found a tool box. Rockwell came towards him but Drew Blood sprayed something out of a can into his eyes. He then took what appeared to be a tire iron and hit Rockwell in the head with it. Rockwell went down immediately and Drew Blood pulled a hammer out of the tool box and went towards the door.

WCW2 Hart Family Dungeon Pure Wrestling Match Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lane Storm This was a very old school match with a lot of mat wrestling involved. The Hitman got the advantage with a go behind into a hammerlock but Storm countered with a reversal into a hammerlock of his own. Storm then took Bret down and dug a knee into his back, trying to earn a submission. But Bret worked his way up and then hit Storm with a russian leg sweep. He followed that with a side back breaker and an elbow off the middle turnbuckle. Realizing Bret was getting into his groove, Storm wisely rolled out of the ring to regain his composure. But Bret suplexed him back into the ring from the apron. He whipped him into the ropes and went for a kick into the mid section but Storm caught Bret's leg and turned him around. He then set down with his "Canadian Maple Leaf". In the middle of the ring, Bret was in agony but he glanced over at his father and fought his way to the rope. Storm was ordered to break the hold which he did but Bret was limping when he got up. Storm began to stomp away on Bret's knee, trying to do more damage until Bret began to fight back with right hands. After a series of right hands were exchanged, both men came off the ropes thinking the same thing and taking each other out with a clothesline. Both men were slow to their feet but they got up simultaneously. Bret went for a clothesline but Storm ducked and caught him right in the chin with a huge superkick. Storm went for the pin, 1.....2......, but at the last second Bret kicked out. Bret then backed Storm into the corner and tried to whip him to the opposite corner. But Storm reversed it and Bret tried to sling over him as he came in but Storm brilliantly stopped behind Hart and used a german suplex into a bridge pin as the ref counted 1.....2..... 3 and right as he got to 3, Bret kicked out but the ref awarded the win to Storm. J.R.:"The referee has given the match to Lance Storm but it looked to me like Bret kicked out". Lawler:"That's gotta be the biggest win of Lance Storm's career". AS STORM WALKED AWAY, BRET WENT TO HIS FATHER WHO LOOKED VERY PROUD OF HIS EFFORT. J.R.:"Stu Hart has gotta be happy with the performance of Bret. Stu trained both the men in that match and it had to be hard to watch one of his old students defeat his son". AN AD FOR WCW.COM IS SHOWN DURING A SHORT BREAK FROM THE ACTION. D.W JONES' MUSIC HITS AS HE COMES OUT WHILE FOOTAGE OF HIS ATTACKS ON HIS BROTHER ARE SHOWN. J.R.:"Here comes the man who was revealed as the man attacking his own brother.

WCW2 No Holds Barred Travis Wakeman vs. D.W. Jones Once Wakeman got about halfway down the ramp, he charged the ring and Jones began to put the boots to him. But Wakeman got up and hit Jones with very hard haymakers. He then caught him with a clothesline that made him do a 360. Wakeman was dominating Jones as he hit him with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Wakeman than blatantly choked Jones and hit him with multiple right hands as he was down. But Jones, laying on his back, kicked Wakeman in the groin. He then got up and lowblowed him again. He hit Wakeman with a piledriver but Wakeman immediately got up and continued his assault. He kicked Jones in the abdomen and then powerbombed Jones right on the turnbuckle. It appeared to be over as Wakeman went for the pin. But after referee Mike Chioda reached a 2 count, Wakeman pulled Jones up. Jones then ducked a clothesline and countered with a flying back elbow. Jones then got the momentum going in the other direction as he came off the top rope with a flying elbow. He went for the cover but Wakeman kicked out at 2. After a piledriver, Jones went outside the ring and grabbed a steel chair. About to crack Wakeman, Jones lifted it up above his head but Wakeman caught him with a shot to the body and quickly planted him with a ddt. Wakeman then went up to the top rope but Jones pulled Chioda over to him. Suddenly, a huge black man wearing a trench coat came from out of the crowd with a crowbar and hit Wakeman in the back of the head. Wakeman was unconcious sitting on the top rope as Jones climbed up and hit his brother with the "Low Ride". He then hooked the leg and got the 1......2......3. J.R.:"What the hell was that? Do you know who that was"? Lawler:"Oh yeah, I know who that was"! J.R.:"With the assistance of Wakeman's old bodygaurd Zues from his Wakeman Enterprises days, D.W. Jones has defeated his brother!

WCW2 10 VS. 10 Battle Royale for the Global Title The battle started right away as the crowded ring rocked with the 20 men brawling. The first elimination occured when a slight argument between Regal and Electric Coma turned into Regal throwing him out of the ring. Then the WCW and MFW squared off and Bodycount was tossed by Buck Bradshaw. But Bradshaw was immediately thrown over the ropes by Preston Knight. Regal then came over and hit Knight with some forearms but when he ran towards Knight, he was backdropped out of the ring. But then Nails took matters into his own hands.

The fight between Jericho and Test continued and went all the way backstage. This left The Undertaker and Rob Van Dam. The Undertaker tore RVD apart. After a boot to the face and his "old school" walk on the rope move, The Undertaker deposited RVD with a chokeslam and used his throat slash gesture. But as Undertaker pulled RVD up, The Revolution came out in full force and got the dead man's attention. Undertaker invited them into the ring but RVD dropkicked him in the back of the head, taking him out and winning the Global title. As RVD left, the Revolution entered the ring and swarmed the Undertaker. As the Revolution retreated, The Undertaker sat up and gave them a cold, hard stare.
