TV Title Tournament Round 2
Before the bell even rang, Weehawk came in like a raving lunatic, charging straight at Magnum and knocking him to the mat!! Weehawk laid several shots into Magnum's face with what appeared to be a pizza cutter with serrated edges! Magnum was bleeding all over the place as the bell rang. Weehawk dropped down and started laying punch after punch into Magnum's face. Magnum then growled and SAT UP with Weehawk still sitting on his chest which tossed the much smaller man between the ropes to the outside!! As Magnum tried to wipe the blood out of his eyes, Weehawk grabbed his foot and dragged him to the outside. Weehawk then started choking Magnum with a camera cord!! Weehawk eventually let Magnum go and crawled back into the ring, laughing at the referee. Magnum recovered on the floor and was totally enraged!!! He slid back in the ring, and Weehawk's blows had no effect on him whatsoever!! Magnum grabbed Weehawk in a ONE-ARMED PRESS SLAM, and then threw him upside-down into the turnbuckles!! Magnum ran in and AVALANCHED Weehawk and the whole buckle assembly moved!! Weehawk fell to his knees, and Magnum grabbed him in a REVERSE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!! Weehawk struggled back to his feet as the crowd roared for Mr. Massacre!! Magnum came in, but Weehawk grabbed him in a desperation CHIN CRUSHER that rocked Magnum backwards.
At this point, Sgt Roy Wallace made his way to ringside and started yelling at the referee. Magnum came charging in and LARIATED Weehawk off his feet. Weehawk crawled over to his bag, which was laying in the corner. Wallace jumped up on the apron and the referee blocked him from entering the ring. Weehawk was digging though his bag and pulling out a large object while Magnum decked Wallace off the apron. When Magnum turned around, Weehawk spun and BASHED Magnum with a CAR MUFFLER!!! Weehawk slid the muffler out of the ring and fell on top of Magnum right as the referee turned around. The referee counted 1..2..3! Give the win to Weehawk and the assist to Roy Wallace.
Weehawk d. Magnum at 6:51 via pinfall
TV Title Tournament Round 2
Unexpectedly, KURT 'SKY' WALKER and VIC 'THE LUATIC' JONES made their way to ringside to watch this match. Hannibal started this match out in typical fashion, using his size and power to land several BODY SLAMS and a GIANT DDT before Maz could get any offense in. Maz got some KNUCKLE ARROW punches and a SLAM or two in before Hannibal went off on him! Hannibal whipped Maz into the corner and followed him in with a CLOTHESLINE, then grabbed him and JUMPING DDT'D him to the mat!! Hannibal then felt he had the match in the bag and did some muscle posing... and it turned out to be a huge mistake. Maz came up, spun Hannibal around and grabbed him into a RUNNING POWERSLAM!! Walker was cheering for Mazarini on the outside as the gangster then whipped Hannibal to the ropes and caught him with a KITCHEN SINK KNEELIFT!! He followed up with another whip to the ropes, and this time caught Hannibal into a TWISTING POWERSLAM!! The referee counted: 1..2..KICKOUT!! Mazarini then applied his finisher, the SILENCER, but Hannibal's mask seemed to interfere with the effectiveness of the hold and Maz quickly gave up on it, opting instead to lay hard PUNCHES in on the US champion. Maz then took his own chance to gloat, standing over Hannibal and mocking the HWO cross-arm signal. It was then that Kurt Walker took the chance to act. Walker quickly jumped into the ring and spun Mazarini around, kicked him in the stomach and hit the stunned Blood Brothers leader with the GREETINGS FROM THE ONE-MAN MAFIA!!! The referee called for the bell and DQ'D HANNIBAL for this attack!!! Walker and Jones then high-tailed it to the locker room.
Mazarini d. Lecter at 5:13 via DQ
(Note : Actual result Maz d. Hannibal via Silencer at 5:13)
TV Title Tournament Round 2
Nomad came out and wanted to prove a point in this match. Cletus was unprepared for the inital assult as Nomad skipped the light stuff and went straight to a SWINGING NECKBREAKER, then followed it with ANOTHER SWINGING NECKBREAKER!! Nomad then whipped Cletus into the ropes and landed a DROP KICK that rocked Cletus backward. Nomad rushed in, set and delivered an UPROOT SUPLEX on Cletus!!! The crowd was going wild at this point, but Cletus wasn't going down so easily. Nomad came in for a JUMPING NECKBREAKER, but Cletus caught him and instead delivered a SIDE BACKBREAKER, and without letting go landed ANOTHER BACKBREAKER!! Cletus went for the cover: 1..2..KICKOUT! Cletus then set Nomad up for a POWERBOMB... but Nomad rolled through and locked on THE DANGER ZONE!!! The crowd going berserk, Cletus held on for a second but then tapped out!! Nomad was advancing in the tournament!!!
Nomad d. Cletus at 4:05 via submission (Danger Zone)
TV Title Tournament Round 2
The Pantheon was at ringside for this one as security. Seeing this, Warpath made his way to ringside to protect his partner. Marty controlled early in the ring, using a BODY SLAM/IRON CLAW combination to make Idol bleed early on. Marty then softened Idol's back up with several HAMMER BLOWS, then whipped Idol hard into a SHORT RANGE LARIAT!! Idol tried to mount a comeback, but Marty lifted him up and drove him down with a PILE DRIVER!! Marty then hit the ropes to gain some momentum for his next move, but Condo grabbed his foot!! Marty struggled and finally kicked Condo off, but that rest was all Idol needed to recover his wits. He came up behind Marty and KICKED HIM IN THE GROIN!! He followed by grabbing Marty from behind in a REVERSE DDT!! It was all Idol not for a few minutes: HEADLOCK PUNCHES followed by a HANGMAN'S NECKBREAKER and a SNAP SUPLEX dropped Marty down. Idol then dropped and applied his MOUNTED SHOUDAS, but Marty squirmed to the ropes. Idol gave a few signals and while Condo jumped up on the apron to distract the referee, Executioner tossed Idol a CHAIR!! Marty was just getting to his feet. Idol rocked back against the ropes... but he didn't see that WARPATH was standing behind him! WP grabbed the top rope, pulled himself up and LOBOTOMY KICKED Idol right in the back of the head!! Idol stumbled forward, right into a Mauler K-DRILLER!!! The Pantheon rushed Warpath while Marty grabbed Idol and delivered a KAMAKAIZE BOMB: 1..2..3!! Marty was moving on in the tournament!!
Marty d. Idol at 7:11 via pinfall (Kamakaize Bomb)
While Marty jumped from ring to help Warpath against the rest of the Panthon, no one saw Kurt Walker and Vic Jones slip into the ring from the crowd. While Walker climbed to the top, Jones lifted Idol and dropped him with a CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB INTO A DIAMOND CUTTER!! Walker then came off the top with his trademark SKY DIVE!! The Pantheon then rushed the ring and drove the two off.
Marty the Mauler/Warpath (c) vs Nomad/Destructo
Tag Team Title Match, Submission Only
Warpath and Destructo started this match out to try to give their partners some rest. Warpath has always been good against the big men of the federation and this time would be no excpetion. Warpath took Destructo down many times in the first few minutes. An ELBOW to the head sent Destructo down and when he got back up a SCISSOR KICK sent him back down again. Warpath then whipped Destructo to the corner and tagged Marty. The two then DOUBLE STOMPED Destructo down into the corner before the referee forced Warpath to leave. Marty tried to keep Destructo grounded, but Destructo would have none of it! Surging to his feet, Destructo CLOTHESLINED Marty to the mat and then jumped up high and landed a LEG DROP. Hauling Marty up he grabbed him in a NECK HANG, but WP jumped in the ring and nailed Destructo from behind with a STANDING SIDE KICK!!! Destructo collapsed immediately. Marty continued to work on Destructo's neck with submissions when the crowd suddenly stood and looked to the dressing room entrance....
Several uniformed police officers were walking down the isle toward the ring. Walking with them was a young girl, no more than 14 years of age, crying her eyes out. She was wearing a Nomad shirt, but the shirt was torn. When the group reached ringside, the girl pointed Nomad out to the cops. Nomad jumped down off the apron to see what was going on. He entered into a heated argument with the officers while Marty tagged in WP in the ring. WP whipped Destructo to the ropes, but Destructo reversed the move and grabbed WP in a PRESS SLAM!! The crowd went wild at this move!! Destructo then noticed what was going on outside the ring and walked over to the ropes to get a closer look.
Nomad finally gave up the argument... and the lead officer HAND CUFFED NOMAD and started leading him out of the building!!! The crowd immediately erupted into deafning boos. Nomad looked ready to explode as he was pushed through the curtain by the police.
Destructo was ambushed from behind by Warpath, who grabbed him in a BACK DROP DRIVER that left the former champ laying limp. It was all downhill from there on Destructo: with no one to tag out to, the champions destroyed him. The beating lasted for several minutes because Destructo absolutely refused to give up, but no one could take the abuse the champions were dishing out. PILE DRIVERS, DOUBLE CHOKE SLAMS, a SPRINGBOARD MISSLE DROPKICK from Marty and a LOBOTOMY KICK later, the champions performed a combination EASY-3/HANGMAN'S NECKBREAKER manuver that no one could get up from. Marty then placed Destructo into an IRON CLAW that the referee declared was the final hold.
Marty/WP d. Nomad/Destructo at 8:11 via submission
(This one was really strange. Nomad and Destructo did well with the rules against them, but got demolished when the rules were in their favor)
