Our first match of the night was a battle royal involving all those not wrestling in tonights show. Even though Kurt Angle is scheduled to defend his Undisputed Heavyweight Championship tonight, he asked to be added in to the battle royal. This will give the winner a shot at any title they desire.

The final two combatants are Rey Mysterio jr and Ted DiBiasi Jr. The winner of the match and the choice of any title shot he wants – Rey Mysterio Jr.
Our second match of the night is our first title defense. Defending their tag team titles, Donnie B and the Negronomicon took on the challenge from Handsome G and the Super Warrior. Donnie B tried to start the match off against Handsome G but Negronomicon tagged himself in. After a quick double-team on Handsome G, Donnie B tags himself in. Handsome G hits a big splash on Donnie B and tags in Super Warrior. Donnie B tags in Negronomicon. Another double team and Donnie B is back in. DB hits SW with a chair and goes for the cover and only gets a 2 count. A double team on Donnie B and G is back in. DB tags in N. A snap suplex on G and a cover for a 2 count. An eye gouge and N makes for the tag but Donnie B steps away. Another double team on N and Donnie B still won’t tag in. Donnie B finally comes in for the double team and then shoves N out of the ring. G hits DB with a low blow and makes it out to SW. Donnie B turns to tag in N and he is gone. Super Warrior hits the Super Powerbomb and the count 1 -2- 3. With no one to make the save, we have NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS – Handsome G and the Super Warrior. The new champs leave and then N shows up again and takes Donnie B out with a baking pan. He leaves him in the ring beaten and bloodied.
Next on the card we have a #1 contenders match. Edge takes on the Big Show. Edge was not 100% ready for this match but he definitely showed up. Right out of the bat, Big Show hits the Cutting Edge for a 2 count. Big Show easily dominated Edge until Edge clotheslined the big man out of the ring. Out of nowhere, HHH came down and hit Big Show with a sledgehammer. He quickly left before being discovered. Big Show gets counted out. Edge is the new #1 contender. When asked what title he wants the shot at, he says “I want my IC belt back. Christian, your ass is grass.”
Our first World Title match is up with CSWA World Champion John Cena taking on Bobby Lashley. Bobby Lashlye held his own up until Cena hit him with a chain. Cena then took over dazzling the audience with moves. He got Lashley upfor the F-U and what Impressed everyone was that Bobby kicked out. Cena hit Bobby again with the chain this time busting him open. Lashley was gushing. Apparently he didn’t have the stamina to continue so after Cena hit the 5 knuckle shuffle, he covered Bobby for the pin. The winner and STILL CSWA World Champion – John Cena.
Our second world title match is up with Booker T defending the HWF World title against the Undertaker. I have never seen such a close match. It was this way all the way through the 20 minutes. The ref declares this match a Time limit draw. This prompts our GM William Regal to come out and state how important is it to have a champion who does not hide behind DQ’s, count outs and time limit draws. He asks the fans if they want this match to continue. The fans chant “YES”. Booker walks out saying how tired he is from fighting the dead man. Regal tells him he is restarting the match. If he does not get back in the ring, he will strip Booker of the title and he will not get another shot at it for 6 months. Booker gets back in the ring and in 2 minutes falls prey to the Tombstone piledriver and a 3 count. The winner and NEW HWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION – The Undertaker. Even though ‘Taker fought the hard fight here, he will have to meet John Cena later on to see who goes to meet Kurt Angle for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship.
IN an impromtu match, Jay Lethal challenged Tommy Dreamer for the HWF X-division championship. Very surprising we had a second match go the distance. This time Regal did not come out. Dreamer retains the belt by time limit draw. Lethal will get another shot at the belt.
MVP finally gets his rematch after Santino stole the Cruiserweight championship. It is astonishing to see these matches going the limit. Santino retains the Cruiserweight title after a 20 min draw.
Samoa Joe vs. Cactus Jack for the North American title is next. I don’t know what to say other than Joe was having his ASS handed to him. Cactus showed him the meaning of a true beating. The match ended after Joe said he had enough and walked away from the ring getting counted out. The winner of the match by countout – Cactus Jack. Our illustrious GM William Regal came out and said that these two will meet again soon and it will be no countout.
Christian was up next defending his IC title against Christopher Daniels. Daniels really took it to the champ after Edge showed up on the stage. He controlled the majority of the match until Christian regained his composure. Christian started to get frustrated after Daniels kicked out of 2 Unprettiers. The match came to an end (thankfully not another 20 minute match) after Christian took Daniels out with a one man concerto. Winner and still HWF IC Champion – Christian.
After the match, Edge ran in to briefly brawl with Christian before Christian got out of the ring and made his way to safer grounds.
Next is Champion vs. Champion with John Cena taking on the exhausted Undertaker to see who will go on to meet Kurt Angle for the Undisputed Championship. William made a brief appearance saying that regardless of what happens, this match WILL have a winner. Undertaker hits a tombstone piledriver right out of the gate but only gets a one count. Cena tosses Undertaker out of the ring but he’s back in almost immediately. They brawl back and forth for a bit and then it’s Cena turn to visit the outside of the ring. Booker T appears at ringside and chats with Cena causing him to get counted out but the ref won’t end the match citing what Regal stated earlier. Cena gets back in the ring. They brawl some more and Undertaker makes his second trip to the outside – right where Booker is waiting for him but Undertaker is quickly back in the ring foiling Booker’s attack. Little did he see Cena waiting for him so as soon as he was back in the ring, John set up up for the F-U and delivered the thunderous blow. Cena covered Undertaker and got the 1-2-3. John Cena goes on to meet Kurt Angle later on this night. After he leaves the ring, Booker jumps in and attacks the beaten Undertaker. This prompts Regal to make another appearance and says that he’s had it with people jumping other people. The next person that does it is SUSPENDED. He will grant Booker another title shot but it MUST be in a steel cage.
Next up is MW3 defending the CSWA TV title against Shawn Michaels. This was supposed to be a normal cage but Regal changed it at the last minute to a “Oklahoma Bull-rope, Coleminer’s glove, Come dressed as you are streetfight in a Steel cage”. As soon as the bell rung, MW3 tasted the boot of Michaels as he received the Sweet Chin Music. MW3 his a groing shot and Michaels counters with an excruciating arm drag and twist followed by a shoulder smash. Michaels is the first to go to the specialty stuff and hits a belly to belly suplex onto barbwire but only got a 2 count. Michaels continues the beat down on MW3 and hits another SCM. He picks up MW3 after a one count. Michaels goes to pick up the coleminer’s glove and nails MW3 right in the groin. Michaels goes for the cover but somehow MW3 kicks out. After hitting a flying bodypress and loosening a few of MW3’s teeth, the champ finally makes a comeback of his own and uses the coalminers glove on Michaels. He hits Shawn a second time but then Shawn takes it away, climbs the cage and hits MW3 after jumping off the top of the cage. He goes for the pin again but picks MW3 up. MW3 manages to kick Shawn in the groin but has little effect. WE have surpassed the 20 minute marker and MW3 is trashed. Michaels managed to cut MW3’s hair twice (he will leave town for 2 weeks). Shawn got an initial pin allowing him to try to leave the cage. MW3 somehow stopped him. Shawn ripped part of MW3’s mask partially exposing his face. Hmm…He looks familiar.. The end came after Shawn connected with a Belly to Belly Suplex onto barbwire. This time MW3 wasn’t moving. Shawn gets the win and becomes the NEW CSWA TV Champion. (If this was based on points, MW3 would have had 74 and Shawn 270).
We have just a few matches left for our show. The next one up is between AJ Styles and Chris Jericho for the CSWA US title. This match starts with Jericho charging the champ and being shown the outside of the ring. He gets back in, charges and is shown the other side. The two men start their battle. Jericho hits the Lionsault early but only for a 2 count. AJ comes back with the Styles’ Clash but only for a two count of his own. AJ is all over the ring but Jericho is keeping up with him. Jericho sends AJ to the outside but Styles is back in before Jericho can admire his handiwork. AJ hits Jericho with a backflip kick but Jericho slaps AJ in the Walls of Jericho which he easily escapes. Out of nowhere, Chris hits another Lionsault in the middle of the ring and surprisingly gets the win. Winner and NEW CSWA US Champion – Chris Jericho.
Our second to last match of the night is for the Undisputed Championship between the champion Kurt Angle and CSWA World champion John Cena. I secretly think Angle went out early in the tournament just so he can say that he participated in more than one match this evening. Kurt did everything a defending champion should do from kicking his opponent out of the ring to a little choking (hey, he has till the count of 5). Angle controlled the match even when Cena tossed him to the outside. He never lost control. The final straw for Cena was after Angle delivered a Belly to Belly plex which saw John almost land on his head. Angle followed it up with a Olympic Leg Sweep and a cover to get the win and remain the UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
Our final match of the night is the retirement match for the Nature Boy Ric Flair against his friend and rival Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. Both men shook hands and then the gloves came off. Ricky went on the offensive first but was countered by the WHOOOOOOOOOOO. Flair immediately pulled out a foreign object and nailed Steamboat with it. He only got a 2 count. Looks like the Dragon is getting ready to breathe some fire. A chop to the chest of Steamboat stopped him in his tracks. The Dragon went for the Steamboat splash but Flair got out of the way. Ricky finally got ahold of Ric and locked him in an abdominal stretch. Flair made it to the ropes to break the hold. Flair managed to get Steamboat in a sleeper hold and dropped him to the mat trying to make a cover. He got a one count. Flair went to charge Steamboat in the corner and he got stopped in his tracks by a Wooooooo from Ricky. That didn’t make Flair too happy. Flair chopped the chest of Steamboat and covered him for a 2 count. The Dragon got tossed out of the ring but only for a few moments when Flair followed him out and then threw him back in. Ricky was waiting for him and caught him with a beautiful dropkick. Flair hightailed it out of the ring. The Dragon followed him out and monkey flipped him on the ground. Finally back in the ring, Ricky caught Flair in a reverse cradle but only got a two count. Flair got up and did his strut. Flair suckered Ricky into the corner hitting him with the foreign object. He covered him but only got a 2 count. Flair went to drop a knee but Steamboat moved. More dropkicks from the Dragon but Flair kept up with a nasty looking shoulder smash. A sleeperhold from Flair is turned into another abdominal stretch. Again, Flair makes it to the ropes. Some reverse knife-edge chops from Steamboat stops Flair cold. Just as Flair goes for the foreign object again, the bell rings signalling the end of the match after a grueling 20 minute battle between these titans. Ric’s final match is a draw and he and Steamboat shake hands and hug to a standing ovation from the crowd. After a few minutes, Ricky left the ring and let the Nature Boy soak up all the adulation from the fans. This was his final moment. Thank you Ric for all the memories.
Thank you for tuning in.
