EFW World Title Match
5-Minute Deathmatch, 2/3 Falls
'Mr. Massacre' Kyle Magnum (c) vs Nomad
EFW World Title Deathmatch, 5 minute time limit for each round
The exploding cage was set up and ready. Nomad awaited Magnum in the ring and neither man was wanting to avoid the match, they seemed to welcome it. Magnum stopped on the way to the ring and gave his shirt to a fan holding a sign that read "MAGNUM: THE ONE TRUE CHAMPION"
Magnum ruled this match early, using his power to his advantage. He brutally SLAMMED Nomad into the cage repeatedly, busting him open. Magnum then landed a series of power moves, including NECK HANGS and BACK BREAKERS, always trying to slam Nomad into the cage at the end of the move. As the timer reached 3:00, Nomad started a comeback!! Magnum went for a GRAVEDIGGER, but Nomad twisted out of it and GERMAN SUPLEXED the champion!! He only got a one count, though, but he continued the technical offense and mixed it with some brutality of his own, at one point using a DROP TOE HOLD to make Magnum slam face-first into the cage!
When the timer reached 4:00, Captain Justice ran down to ringside and started a hurried conversation with the US Marshals, McCarty and Osborne, who were sitting at ringside. Nomad had Magnum tied up in a MUTA LOCK, but Magnum wouldn't submit. When Nomad released the hold, he looked up to see the timer read 4:45!! It was at this point the McCarty of the US Marshals jumped the rail and headed for the timekeeper's table, along with Captain Justice. Magnum was down, dazed, and Nomad pulled the referee into the center of the ring and told him to duck. The timer read 4:55...... Nomad ducked and covered his head!!!
But nothing happened!! The timer hit 5:00, but nothing happened! The referee ran over to see that Jason McCarty, who is an expert in demolitions, had DISARMED the explosives!! McCarty then grabbed the house mic:
McCarty : "If I had known that this cage was going to explode, I'd have come over here and done this sooner. Thanks for the assist, CJ. I'm not going to watch this kind of BS."
RESULT:
Draw at 5:00
Rick Idol then came storming out of the dressing room, followed by WCWF security. He had a mic:
Rick Idol : "Oh you're gonna watch it all right, boy. As a matter of fact, if you don't sit your ass back in your seat, I'll have you thrown out of here right now! As for you, CJ, get back to the dressing room where you belong before I have YOU thown out as well!"
(Rick Idol sent a WCWF technician down to ringside to re-connect the explosives for the second round. Jason McCarty was escorted back to his seat by WCWF security and three guards stood by him for the rest of the match. CJ walked back to the dressing room, but gave Idol a dirty look when he passed by)
The second round of the match started with both men well-rested from the long intermission. However, Nomad and Magnum began to talk about something in the ring.... and then they just sat down, refusing to fight!! McCarty was rolling laughing, the fans were loving it, and Rick Idol was furious. McCarty pulled something out of his pocket and chucked it into the cage.... Nomad retrieved it, and it was a DECK OF CARDS!! With 2:24 reading on the timer, Nomad and Magnum started playing poker in the ring!! They wouldn't give Idol the satisfaction of watching them fight. The timer counted down... soon it was at 4:40.... then 4:50. Nomad and Magnum pulled the referee into center ring and covered up waiting for the explosion...
But then a bouncing camera shot appeared on the big screen!! Somewhere in the bowels of the arena was Captain Justice... he was standing next to the circuit box for the arena!! Right as the timer hit 4:59, CJ hit the switches and all the arena power went out!!
When the power was restored a minute or two later, Magnum, Nomad and the referee had left the cage while the electricty was off. When the power hit again, the timer hit 5:00 and the empty cage exploded!!!
Draw at 5:00
Magnum retains the title
(Actual results: 1st Round - Draw at 5:00; 2nd Round - Draw at 5:00)
The big screen soon showed the WCWF security officers led by Rick Idol escorting Captain Justice to the nearest exit and throwing him out of the arena. The fans gave him a loud ovation! CJ was seen pulling out a cell phone before walking away.
'The Icon' Rick Idol vs Jay Nerrick
WCWF World Title Tournament First Round
This one was a runaway. Onslaught came to ringside with Idol but would not be needed. Nerrick was trying to avenge a beating he recieved at the hands of Idol last year, but it was no use. Idol was already mad about eariler events when he stepped through the ropes, and after rocking Nerrick back into the corner with vicious punches landed his ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT top rope tombstone followed by a LEGEND KILLER. Placing a foot on Nerrick's chest, Idol scored the quick pinfall and was a step closer to owning the WCWF World Title.
Idol d. Nerrick at 1:09 via pinfall
Cletus vs Sweet Daddy
WCWF World Title Tournament First Round
The ring rust on Sweet Daddy showed early as Cletus was able to keep him on the mat. BODY SLAMS and TOE KICKS were followed by repeated applications of the HILLBILLY TWIST to wear SD down. SD would gain the momentum later from Cletus and started hitting his suplexes, but couldn't get any kind or rhythm established. SD did manage to get a 2.5 count on a STANDING MOONSAULT, but after that it was all Cletus. Cletus was able to regain the advantge after CROTCHING SD on a the top rope and pulling him down. Cletus lifted SD from behind in a Flair-esque KNEE BREAKER before slapping him into the Hillbilly Twist again for the tap-out victory.
Cletus d. SD at 7:19 via submission
'The Extreme' Condo Warrior (c) vs Kurt 'Sky' Walker
EFW Cruiserweight Title Match, Must Put Opponent Through Two Tables to Win
Condo was accompanied to the ring by the lovely Jade and carried both the EFW Cruierweight title and the WCWF Light Heavyweight title belts. Walker brought his RuffRider dojo men to ringside as usual. This one started roughly, with both men trading shots back and forth!! Neither man would give an inch at first. Eventually Walker took one too many shots to the head and was stunned... Condo immediately jumped on the advantge, whipping Walker into the buckle and following in with a SPACE ROLLING ELBOW!!! Condo then called for a chair, which was tossed to him by a ring attendant. Walker came stumbling out of the corner and Condo BLASTED him with the chair!! Condo then rolled Walker onto one of the three tables already set up in the ring. Condo went to the top and leaped off, DOUBLE FOOT STOMPING Walker through the table!!
Condo decided to go for the throat and hauled Walker out of the table wreckage and over to the second table. Condo laid Walker on the table and threw him some shots to the face before climbing to the top. While Condo was climbing, Walker jumped up in desperation and grabbed him around the waist!! Condo's back was to the ring, and Walker POWERBOMBED him through the table!! Each man had one table to go!!
Walker took a moment to clear out the cobwebs before proceeding. Walker lifted Condo up and performed a RUNNING SKY DRIVER on the champion!! Walker laid Condo on the final table. Walker mounted the top turnbuckle as Condo lay near cold. He threw up the RuffRider hand signal, then came off in a beautiful SKY DIVE!!!
BUT CONDO ROLLED AT THE LAST SECOND!!! Walker crashed through the table, and the referee called for the bell, awarding the match to Condo!!
RESULT:
Condo d. Walker at 6:30
BUT WAIT!!! EFW/WCWF senior officials came running to ringside to confer with the match referee. Condo stood watching while Walker recovered on the mat. The referee said something to the timekeeper as the officials headed back to the dressing room.
RING ANNOUNCER : "Ladies and gentleman, your attention please: it has been determined by the senior WCWF official staff that the rules to this contest explicitly state that in order to win, you must PUT YOUR OPPONENT through two tables! Since Kurt Walker put himself through the table, that table does not count and the match MUST CONTINUE!!"
Condo immediately started screaming at the referee, who could only hold up his hands and shake his head. Condo then threw down the EFW belt and went over to start stomping Walker as Vic Jones slid two more tables into the ring. Condo stomped Walker into the corner and grabbed one of the tables. Condo started to set the table up when Walker started to kick him in the back!! Walker grabbed the table and set it the rest of the way up... Condo then came from off the mat and hit Walker with a GROIN SHOT!! Walker collapsed onto the table. Condo jumped up to the top turnbuckle!! He stopped for a short second to pose, then leaped from the top with a DIVING FIST DROP!! But at the last second, Walker rolled off the table and Condo crashed into it, but instead of going through the table, Condo bounced on it like he was hitting concrete!! Walker grabbed the limp Condo off of the table and set him for a POWERBOMB... then delivered a SPINNING POWERBOMB THAT PUT CONDO THE REST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE TABLE!!! The bell rang and the referee placed the EFW Cruiserweight title on Walker's chest. The camera crew got a good look at the bottom of the table, showing that someone had re-inforced it with 2x4's, which easily explained why Condo didn't break it when he hit it the first time.
Walker d. Condo at 6:41
NEW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION!!
(Actual results: Walker d. Condo at 5:21 via pinfall; Walker d. Condo at 6:41 via CRITICAL)
Walker got to his feet, and Vic Jones brought him the house mic:
Walker : "Condo, you just felt the power of THE HOYA DESTROYA!!! Hey IDOL!........I just took out your boy. At the 6 man you can pick anybody you want..........and we will all see if you have the balls to face me in the ring yourself. My word still stands. If I LOSE, you and your jobboys get 5 minutes alone.......WITH ME!!!"
Walker was then BLASTED from behind by Jade with a SPINNING HOOK KICK!! Walker fell and rolled out of the ring. Vic Jones grabbed his belt and followed him, laughing at Jade who kneeled to tend to the unconcious Condo. He eventually came around, and when he did, Jade planted a deep kiss on Condo out of nowhere! The two then headed to the back.
Tag Team Title Match
Right after the teams were introduced, The Ravers came out of the dressing room dressed in business suits. They stood in the isle and watched the entire match.
This match was supposed to have rules, but you couldn't tell anyone involved that. As soon as Marty and Warpath hit the ring, Marty charged MW1 and the two fell through the ropes to the outside!! Warpath and MW2 were going at it in the ring. MW2 hit several amatuer style takedowns on Warpath, then landed a back trip and applied his now-famous sombrero wearing sickle to WP's face. MW1 slammed Marty's head into the guardrail and few times, then whipped him into the pole! MW2 grabbed WP in a back wasitlock for a suplex, but WP elbowed him off and landed a nasty SPINNING BACKFIST that knocked MW2 straight to the mat. The referee just ducked into the corner and covered his head. WP then pulled MW2 to his feet and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK on the return! On the outside MW1 and Marty were brawling back and forth. Marty gained the upper hand by kicking MW1 in the groin and smashing his head into the steps. WP pulled MW2 to his feet, grabbed him from behind and folded him in half with a BACK DROP DRIVER!! Marty tried to whip MW1 to the pole, but it was reversed and Marty went flying into the ring steps!! MW1 approached him and grabbed his legs... then did a REVERSE POWERBOMB ON THE STEPS!! Marty rolled down the steps to the floor.
MW1 then noticed Hazard and Enforcer, the US Marshals, sitting at ringside. Jason 'Hazard' McCarty leaned over the rail and cracked a snide remark... prompting MW1 to BACKFIST him over his chair and into the second row!! Thinking he had taken care of them, MW1 turned his attention back to Marty. But the Marshals hopped the rail and attacked MW1!! In the ring, Warpath was beating the tar out of MW2, who had virtually no offense at all. Warpath tried to whip MW2 to the corner, but MW2 reversed it and sent WP crashing into the referee!! The poor referee flew between the ropes and to the outside.
Then heavy metal music came over the PA, and the Texas Outlaws stormed out of the dressing room and headed for the ring!! The Marshals rolled Marty and MW1 into the ring right as the Texans hit and it looked like World War 3 in the ring!! Everyone was beating on MW1, stomping him to the mat. Then, Cross stomped Marty, prompting Warpath to nail him with a STANDING SIDE KICK!! Widowmaker then grabbed Warpath and the two brawled into the corner. MW2 grabbed Enforcer from behind and THROWING GERMAN SUPLEXED him to the mat!! Hazard then jumped on MW2, and everyone in the ring was brawling!! Widowmaker whipped Warpath to the ropes and hit the opposite, going for the LARIAT FROM HELL, but Warpath grabbed the top rope to stop himself. Widowmaker kept coming in though... and Marty the Mauler unknowingly stood up right in his path and was LARAITED to the mat!!
Then, MW1 roared to his feet!! In a fit of uncontrolled rage he started tossing bodies like dolls!! Hazard tried to attack him, but MW1 grabbed him by the throat and threw him over the top, then CLOTHESLINED Enforcer over!! The Texans were double-teaming Warpath when the Wonders struck!! MW1 came up behind them, and when they turned they recieved a DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM from MW1!! MW2 grabbed the beaten and battered Warpath and BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEXED him over the top to the floor while MW1 rolled the Texans out!!
The referee got up and started to return to the ring as the Wonders stomped Marty down. The Texans jumped on Warpath and the Marshals went to rescue him from the double-team. The referee made it back as MW1 grabbed the dazed Mauler and WONDER BOMBED him to the mat, followed by a TOP ROPE GUILLOTINE LEG DROP from MW2!! MW2 then went for the cover and the referee counted....1......2......3!!!
Wonders d. Marty/Warpath at 7:14 via pinfall
NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!
(Actual match results: Wonders d. Marty/WP at 7:14 via submission; Wonders d. Marty/WP at 7:04 via pinfall. Close matches, especially the second one where WP really beat the crap out of MW2. Sorry about the chaos, lots of interference was requested. Marty and WP WILL get a clean rematch)
As the teams continued to brawl, the Ravers simply nodded their heads and left.
'The Icon' Rick Idol vs. Cletus
WCWF World Title Tournament Finals
Cletus was introduced first normally, and then Rick Idol got an introduction like the Chicago Bulls get at the United Center: the lights went down, videos of him were shown on the big screen, there were women with Idol shirts on dancing in the isleway, fireworks went off, there was a crazy laser light show, the whole 9 yards. But as soon as the bell rang, Cletus was all business! Idol was tossed all over the ring by Cletus much the same way SD was earlier, with the Hillbilly Twist applied repeatedly.
It wouldn't be long before both a pike wielding Kyle Magnum and Sgt. Roy Wallace would make their way to opposite sides of the ring. Neither Idol or Cletus noticed them because Idol was too busy trying to escape!! Eventually, after escaping a Twist attempt by grabbing the ropes, Idol pulled himself under the bottom rope and to the outside. Cletus followed... and Onslaught started to advance on him. Cletus backed away from Onslaught until Magnum tapped the monster on the shoulder with his pike. Onslaught turned and had the blade pointed right at his chest! Idol took advantage of the distraction, though. When Cletus turned back to face Idol, Idol BLASTED Cletus with the LEGEND KILLER! Cletus fell to the ground and lay still. Idol rolled back in the ring to beat the count, but poor Cletus was out cold.
Idol d. Cletus at 4:41 via countout (Cletus got nailed with a CRITICAL while outside the ring)
Roy Wallace rolled Cletus back in the ring. Idol went for the quick three count, but the Hiroshi wouldn't allow it and instead revived Cletus. Idol again tried to take advantage of Cletus's condition and even once he was revived went for a quick pin, but only got two. Idol bashed Cletus pretty hard for the next few minutes, flinging him into the corners and stomping him to the mat. Idol pulled Cletus out to center ring and set him for a POWERBOMB... but he couldn't get Cletus up! Cletus fought Idol off, then grabbed his legs and pulled them out from under him! Cletus then slapped on the HILLBILLY TWIST and an audible SNAP was heard!! Idol began screaming out in pain and Hiroshi called for the bell!
Cletus d. Idol at 5:04 via CRITICAL
In the final round, it was Cletus who tried to take advantage of Idol's injury. Cletus worked over Idol's dislocated right knee with HANGING KNEE BREAKERS and stomps! Idol couldn't even stand. Onslaught eventually tried to get in the ring to save his master, but Magnum blocked him. Roy Wallace then joined the two and seperated them... then he SLAPPED Magnum! With Wallace looking on, Magnum slowly began to shake and turn red. Wallace started to back down the isle, then turned and ran for his life as Magnum raised his pike and THREW it back toward the dressing room!! It barely missed Wallace, sticking in the wood above the curtain! Onslaught then hit Magnum from behind and the two started brawling!!
Even with the damage to his knee and the repeated attacks by Cletus, Idol was actually recovering in the ring. He backed up into the corner and when Cletus followed he grabbed the front of his tights and fell backwards, slamming Cletus's head into the top buckle! Idol then stood up for the first time in the round, limping but trying to shake out his knee. Idol then began working over the knees of Cletus much the same way Cletus was doing him earlier. Within a minute or so, Idol was back to running across the ring like nothing had happened to his knee as he whipped Cletus into the corner and then did a HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW into the corner!! Cletus wobbled out of the corner and right into a LEGEND KILLER!! Idol then sat down and applied a half boston crab to which Cletus had to tap out!!
Idol d. Cletus at 4:20 via submission
NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
Idol was handed the official WCWF belt as WCWF security spilt Onslaught and Magnum up and forced Magnum back to the dressing room. The celebration was even more elborate than Idol's intro!
JB : "Well it appears we now have TWO heavyweight champions here. Maybe a unification bout is in order?"
BH : "Heh.. yeah right Jim, don't hold your breath. Rick Idol's is afraid of Magnum, as well he should be."
JB : "We'll see about that. Well fans, no matter what the name is, it was still a great show!! This is JB, and for the entire WCWF Wrestling crew, good night and see you next time!!"
