Onslaught vs Tyrant
No DQ
These two were tearing into each other before the bell even rang to start the match! Onslaught mauled Tyrant back into the corner with HAMMER BLOWS, but Tyrant fought out by kneeing Onslaught in the stomach and CLOTHESLINING him down to the mat!! Tyrant dropped down to try to continue the punishment but Onslaught threw him off and came back to his feet. Onslaught charged in and caught the off balance Tyrant with a vader rush, the STONEWALL and sent him flying backwards into the corner!! The brawling continued like this for several minutes, both men going full speed and throwing everything they had at each other. The match came to a head when Onslaught dropped Tyrant to the mat with a BACK BREAKER and then climbed to the top rope. He came flying off with a huge DIVING HEAD BUTT, but Tyrant had the move scouted!! Tyrant rolled to the side and Onslaught hit the mat and bounced to his knees!! Tyrant grabbed Onslaught by the throat and CHOKE SLAMMED him from the kneeling position!! Both men were spent by this point, but both got to their feet at the same time! Onslaught and Tyrant met at mid-ring, but Tyrant was quicker and got a BOOT into Onslaught's midsection, then quickly heaved him up and down into the JUDGEMENT DAY!!! The referee counted 1--2--3!! Onslaught kicked out right after the three and was quickly back to his feet where the fight continued... and neither man saw THE TEXAS OUTLAWS running to the ringside area!
RESULT:
Tyrant d. Onslaught via pinfall at 11:46 (Judgement Day)
Widowmaker hit Tyrant in the back of the neck with the bell on his bullrope! Tyrant was stunned by the surprise attack but still had enough fight left in him to go after Widowmaker. As the two began brawling, Cross slid into the ring with a steel chair and smacked Tyrant with it across the head, dropping him to his knees. Widowmaker wrapped the bullrope around his arm, bounced off the ropes and flipped Tyrant 360 with the Lariat from Hell!! Cross laid the chair on the mat, then lifted Tyrant up into Fireman's Carry position and hit him with the Sidewinder onto the steel chair. Widowmaker wraped the bullrope around Tyrant's throat and choked him while Cross grabbed his branding iron. He stood over the struggling Tyrant and hesitated, considering what he was about to do. He laughed cruelly and pressed the red hot iron into the back of Tyrant, grinding it in. Widowmaker tugged on the rope tighter until Tyrant's body stopped moving. He loosend the rope and put it back on his belt. Cross reluctantly lifted the iron up and walked over to retrieve his bucket. They walked back down the aisle to the back as the camera zoomed in to look at the downed Tyrant. There were rope burns around his neck, and letters branded into his back. Instead of the typical "JC" brand though, we see it says something different: "JH"
RESULT:
Tyrant d. Onslaught via pinfall at 11:46 (Judgement Day)
(The Texas Outlaws are standing in the back, watching as EMTs load Tyrant into the ambulance. Sam Michaels rushes up as the ambulance drives off)
SM: "Widowmaker and Justin Cross, what possible reason do you have for attacking Tyrant?! We haven't even seen you two in months, what possible provocation could..."
CROSS: (turns around to look at Sam, then nudges his partner) "Hey, look. Ain't that him?"
WIDOWMAKER: (turns around to look) "Well hell... it sure is!"
SM: "Excuse me... wait, what are you doing?!?"
(The Outlaws rush at Sam and before he even knows what's going on they're on top of him beating the hell out of him. Sam can't even defend himself as the two big Texans put the boots to him. Cross gives a signal to Widowmaker, who nods and then picks Sam up. Cross climbs up on top of a table as Widowmaker lifts Sam up from behind... Cross comes off with the Hangmen's Neckbreaker, driving Sam's head into the cement and crumpling him over. Sam is rolling around holding his neck as Widowmaker wraps the bullrope around his neck. Cross rips off Sam's shirt and tosses it to the side, then walks over and picks up his branding iron again. There is no hesitation this time as he grinds the iron into Sam's back. Sam can't scream, but the agony can be seen in his eyes, before they begin to roll to the back of his head and he stops struggling. Widowmaker loosens the bullrope and puts it back on his belt as Cross places his branding iron back in the bucket. Cross gives one more kick to the back of Sam. They say nothing as they walk off camera and security and EMTs rush to the scene. The camera zooms in and see that Sam has been branded with "JH" as well)
Messiah/Scarface vs Willie O'Grady
Tag Team Tournament, First Round
O'Grady made his entrance first, attempting to play the bagpipes. Upon hitting the ring, he broke into a disco dance step that was actually pretty good for a man his size. This match was rather one sided, as Messiah had a perfectly planned strategy of double-team manuvers in place and it was executed flawlessly. The Unforgiven team kept the bigger man in their corner, using lots of DOUBLE SUPLEXES and even a SPIKE PILEDRIVER!! O'Grady did mount a comeback, using his size to bully Scarface around the ring, one time even whipping him into the corner and following it up with a huge BACK PRESS. He then took the chance to dance instead of pressing the advantage. This allowed Scarface to jump up and grab O'grady by the head and land a REVERSE DDT! Scarface then held O'Grady while Messiah came off the top rope with a DIVING FRONT KICK that knocked the big man back hard onto the mat. The pin yeilded only a two count. Messiah and Scarface tried another double team manuver where both men would whip O'Grady to the ropes, but O'Grady reversed and delivered an O'GRADY BACKFLIP lariat to Scarface!! O'Grady turned to deal with Messiah but ran right into an STO! Messiah covered the stunned giant and got the pinfall victory!
RESULT:
Messiah/Scarface d. O'Grady via pinfall at 9:52
The Texas Outlaws vs. Sick & Sexy
Tag Team Tournament, First Round
THis match had brawl written all over it from the start. Bane and Cross started out for their teams, Bane trying to use a bit of technical skill on Cross who would have none of it. Bane was forced to tag around the 3:00 mark and Cross tagged out to Widowmaker. The match became a little more even at the point, and it would go on this way for close to twenty minutes: Weehawk did almost all of the work for his team as Bane seemed to be stopped no matter what he tried. Widowmaker then CLOTHESLINED Weehawk over the top to the outside!! Weehawk went straight for his bag and dumped it out on the floor. The referee tried to count Weehawk out, but Widowmaker stopped the count by dumping the referee on his head from behind with a LARIAT!! Widowmaker climbed out after Weehawk while Cross and Bane duked it out in the ring. Humphrey, who had come to ringside with Weehawk, tore the striped shirt off of the referee and began imitating the referee from Pro Wrestling to the amusement on the audience!! Bane was starting to make a little headway with the worn-down Cross when Cross resorted to using the BRANDING IRON, and when Bane turned he SLAMMED it right into his face!! Bane fell backwards through the ropes, leaving Cross to recover his senses. As Weehawk and Widowmaker continued to brawl around the area, Bane touched his forhead and realized the iron shot had BUSTED HIM OPEN!! Cross was about to join Widowmaker when Bane grabbed a baseball bat from the ringside floor and slid into the ring behind him! Bane BASHED the bat right into the neck of Cross, which dropped the texan to the mat. Bane began BASHING and BASHING Cross over the neck with the bat until the bat finally broke under the stress! Bane didn't hestitate and immediately grabbed Cross in a LIONTAMER and wrenched back so far Cross was screaming on the mat!! Widowmaker and Weehawk both broke off their fight and slid into the ring. Widowmaker began beating Bane in the head and chest, but the blows didn't seem to phase him as he didn't budge or release the hold. Eventually, senior official Harold Offelburger came out and told the timekeeper to ring the bell.
RESULT:
Sick & Sexy d. Outlaws via submission at 26:13
(Back and forth marathon match, Cross just did not want to give up)
Bane would not release the hold even after Cross had stopped moving. Weehawk tried talking to him, but Bane just ignored him. Widowmaker grabbed a chair and SLAMMED it down over Bane's head, but it only caused Bane to look at him and roar in rage. Weehawk began trying to pull Bane off Cross and when Widowmaker went for another chair shot officials flooded the ring, including the President, all trying to pry Bane loose to no avail. Weehawk waved to the back and Vermin made his way to the ring. After Vermin spoke a few words to him, Bane crumbled to the mat like a puppet with the strings cut. EMT's on the scene attended to both Cross and Bane.
(The camera switches off the ring and to the announcers)
JB : "What got into Bane there, Buck? I've never seen him like that!"
BH : "Well, he's a Sicko, so------"
(Suddenly, a man in the crowd behind Buck SLAMS a steel chair over his head!!! Buck slumps to the table, out cold. The man is immediately grabbed by security, but not before he throws a small Canadian flag over Buck's back)
JB : "MY GOD!! Get some of those paramedics out here, NOW!!! What the hell is happening in this federation!?!"
'The ICON' Rick Idol vs. Paul Savage
In a Steel Cage
RING ANNOUNCER : "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing now the SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE....... "MR. MASSACRE" KYLE MAGNUM!!!!"
(The crowd explodes and Magnum makes his way to the ring, wearing a striped referee's shirt with the arms torn off that appears to be about 20 sizes too small. He appears a bit annoyed about something)
Savage was given the first introduction, to sparse cheers. Idol then made his way out, grinning and holding one of MAGNUM'S PIKES over his head! Magnum turned red with anger and as soon as Idol hit the cage, Savage and Magnum BOTH jumped him, beating him to the mat!! Magnum ordered the doors slammed and locked so no one could interfere while Savage beat Idol down. The pike clattered to the side of the cage. Savage set Idol up for a trip into the cage, but the veteran Idol reversed and sent Savage crashing into the steel!! From there on out it was all Idol. Idol taught Savage quite a few lessons in pain: his face was raked across the steel, he was choked on the ropes, his head was repeatedly rammed into the cage. Magnum constantly harrased Idol and was obviously siding with Savage. Idol delivered a SPLIT-SECOND DDT, but when he set up for the LEGEND KILLER Kyle Magnum stepped in! He forced Idol into the corner and would not let him move until Savage had recovered! Magnum finally moved... and Idol grabbed the PIKE off the mat!! With a lunge he STABBED Kyle Magnum in the shoulder with the pike!! Magnum collapsed to the ground. Idol returned to thrashing Savage and landed a LEGEND KILLER, but there was no referee to count! Idol walked over to Magnum and began kicking him, screaming at him to get up and count. Idol turned back and pinned Savage... but the Magnum roared to his feet!! Ernaged, he grabbed Idol by the foot with both hands and THREW HIM INTO THE CAGE!!! Idol rolled back under the bottom rope. Magnum did not let up, he grabbed Idol and delivered a GRAVEDIGGER, followed by ANOTHER GRAVEDIGGER and then dragged the unconcious Savage over top of him for the pinfall.
RESULT:
Savage d. Idol via pinfall at 10:54
(Note: VERY, VERY close)
Magnum spit on Idol before leaving the cage to a waiting team of paramedics who where on hand to tend to all three men.

('Doom' brings out a very tired looking Weehawk. He still carries his bag of weapons, but he is not wearing his mask and has his hair pulled into a pony tail)
The bell rang and Weehawk immediately scattered his bag of weapons all over the mat!! Nightmare and Painkiller took a very unexpected tactic.... they grabbed WEEHAWK and began mercilessly double-teaming him!! After stomping him down to the mat, they whipped him into the ropes and gave him a DOUBLE BACK ELBOW that sent him hard to the mat. Nightmare lifted Weehawk up and Painkiller spiked him down in a DOUBLE POWERBOMB!!! Weehawk was about spent, but a pin only got a two count. Painkiller climbed the turnbuckles while Nightmare searched for a weapon to use amongst the plunder. Painkiller came off the top rope with a DIVING ELBOWDROP, but when he went for the cover, he only got another 2 count! Nightmare had grabbed a golf club while Painkiller pulled Weehawk to his feet. Painkiller whipped Weehawk right into a GOLF CLUB shot from Nightmare!! Painkiller once again dropped for the count, but STILL only got two!! Painkiller hauled Weehawk to his feet again and pushed him into the corner. Painkiller backed into the opposite corner and delivered a crushing RUNNING LARIAT to the littlest Sicko! Nightmare came in next, but Weehawk ducked to the side and Nightmare impacted Painkiller instead!! Weehawk bought himself some time by sliding outside the ring. Painkiller immediately turned on Nightmare and started CHOPPING him, forcing the former champion against the ropes. Painkiller whipped Nightmare to the ropes then hit the ropes himself.... but Weehawk grabbed his foot!! Nightmare came running in and CLOTHESLINED Painkiller over the top to the floor. Weehawk slid back inside, but Nightmare was ready. While the angry Painkiller ascended the turnbuckle from the apron, holding a chair, Nightmare delivered a FINAL NIGHTMARE on Weehawk!! Nightmare hooked the leg for the pin, but Painkiller came off the top and SLAMMED the chair over Nightmare's head!! Nightmare rolled off and Painkiller instead took the cover on Weehawk: 1---2----3!!
Painkiller eliminates Weehawk via pinfall at 16:02
Painkiller stood up and began putting the boots to Nightmare..... but turning your back on Weehawk is not a good idea!! While PK was trying to stand Nightmare up, Weehawk came up from behind and grabbed PK into a TORTURE RACK and then DROPPED HIM into the LAST CUP O' SORROW!!! Weehawk then slid out of the ring and flipped Liberator the bird!! Messiah was forced to try to restrain the big man as Weehawk left the ringside area. With Painkiller down, Nightmare quickly took control of the match. He whipped PK from corner to corner, then came in with a running LARIAT that sent PK under the bottom to the apron! Nightmare lifted his hand in the signal for the CHOKE SLAM and the crowd went wild! Nightmare stepped through the ropes and set PK for the CHOKE SLAM TO THE FLOOR!!! Nightmare then jumped and delivered the move with force that shook the ground!! The fans exploded... and PK was not moving!!! The referee jumped out and went to check on him......
....but he WAS NOT out cold!!! PK sat up and the crowd exploded AGAIN!! Nightmare grabbed PK and slammed him hard to the concrete floor with a FULL NELSON SLAM and then rolled him into the ring. Nightmare went for the academic cover: 1---2---- and Painkiller KICKED OUT!! Nightmare immediately stood and pulled him thumb across his throat, the FINAL NIGHTMARE was coming for the second time tonight!!! Nightmare set up for the move... HE LIFTED PK UP!!!!

Nightmare even gave PK a pat on the back before leaving for the dressing room. PK stood on the turnbuckle and held the belt high as the crowd chanted "BRING THE PAIN!! BRING THE PAIN!!")
JB : "My god, the ovation here for Nightmare and especially Painkiller is deafning!! We've seen the crowning of a new superstar tonight, ladies and gentlemen!! This is Jim Biggins, and we're out of here!!"
