Hello fans. Welcome back to the second issue of October. Last issue we recapped updates in the NWWA. In this issue we will recap updates and such for the CSWA. Our biggest piece of information was that the CSWA picked up the contracts of HHH, Shawn and Jeff Jarrett. All three men were informed that since the top contenders was already in place, they would have to wait to be placed. Jeff Jarrett was the only one not satisfied with that. He told William Regal that he wanted to challenge Mick Foley for his spot for the US title. Foley, not one to back down from a challenge, agreed.
Foley started off the match in solid control. For the first five minutes of the match, Jeff got in 2 offensive moves. Mick stayed in total control until Jeff connected with the Stroke. Mick managed to kick out at 2 and regained the offensive. After a 13 minute grueling match, Mick won after a swift kick (one of many in this match) to Jeff’s groin. Jeff just couldn’t take it anymore and Mick won the match and retained his spot for the US title.
At this point, Mick is currently the #1 contender for both the US title held by Rey Mysterio and the World title held by Booker T. William asked which title he’d like to go after first. Mick replied by saying he wanted Rey Mysterio first and then Booker T at the PPV. Regal agreed and said that his next match will be against Mysterio at a future date.
MVP was up next defending the Cruiserweight title against MW3. This match was a long one. It ran a whole 18 minutes. MW3 put up very little offense but did better by getting out of the way of MVP's moves. After getting beat down for those 18 minutes, MVP gets the win after a devistating judo chop. After the match, Elijah Burke came out and challenged MVP to a match stating he was now the #1 contender after defeating Donnie B. MVP questioned why he needed to defend the title against him when he clearly beat him already. This prompted Burke to attack MVP and the refs needed to come down to restore order. This also brought out William Regal who said that at the next house show, MVP would defend the title against Burke. Burke had better keep to himself though as if he makes any attempt to attack MVP before their match, he would lose his title shot.
Rey Mysterio wanted to move up in the rankings so he challenged Donnie B for his spot. Donnie B would not accept the match unless Rey put the US title on the line first. The issue though is that Mick Foley was to receive the next US title shot. Donnie B approached Mick and asked if it would be ok. Mick said he didn’t have an issue with it so “Go For it.” This match was much shorter than the previous one. In 7 minutes, Mysterio made short work of the former HWF GM and got the pin after a big headscissors. Mysterio moves up in the rankings and Donnie B moves down.
The next match was Bobby Lashley defending the TV title against AJ Styles. AJ was moving quick; perhaps too quick for Bobby’s taste so the first thing he did was toss AJ out of the ring. AJ was back in by the 7 count. AJ connects with a backflip kick and Bobby hits a kick to gut. Bobby then gets Styles up in a full nelson lift and slam. Another kick to the gut by Lashley and Styles throws the champ out of the ring. Bobby gets back in at the 8 count. Bobby gets back in and throws AJ out of the ring again. He follows him out and they brawl before AJ is sent flying into the ringside steps. Bobby rolls back in just before the 10 count and wins the match by countout. After the match, the new #1 contender Big Show came out and attacked Lashley. He caught the champ with a chokeslam and left him laying in the ring after hitting the Cutting Edge.
CM Punk then came out and announced that he wanted the Undertaker. William Regal came out and said that the Undertaker was not in the building. He was asked if he really wanted a match tonight and would he be willing to fight anyone. Punk said he would and just send down whoever was free. This prompted Regal to acknowledge this and called out Punk’s opponent. A very familiar music hit and out came the returning Kurt Angle. Regal announced that whoever won this match would get a shot at the TV title. The former Undisputed Champion looked great. He had absolutely no ring rust whatsoever. After getting his bearings, he took control of the match and held on to it until Punk tossed him out of the ring. He got back in and Punk then went of the offensive. Punk went for a dropkick but missed. Angle picked him up and hit the Olympic Leg Sweep and rolled him up for the 1-2-3. Kurt Angle wins in his first match back. Welcome back Kurt. Now, just keep yourself clean.
As part of his return to the ring, Kurt had to be constantly tested for drugs. Prior to his going out to the ring, he was indeed tested and came back clean.
Regal was getting ready to announce the next match which would have the Undisputed Tag Team Champs – Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin defend the World Tag Team titles against Cryme Tyme. Just before the match was set up, he was approached by DX. They were here to ask Regal, not for a title match, but for a match against a top contender. Regal flipped a coin and said that DX would meet Dibiasi and Rhodes. If DX wins, they will take that spot for the tag team titles. Their match would be up after this one.
The World’s Greatest Tag Team came down to the ring accompanied by NWWA GM and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Negronomicon. Out next came Cryme Tyme. The champs started off the match with a double team on JTG. Shelton came back with an armdrag and JTG hit a spinning toe hold. Shad comes in and hits Benjamin with a crippling piledriver. JTG runs in and knocks Haas off the apron. Negronomicon jumps up and he gets knocked down for his interference. In 3 minutes, Shad makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. We have NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS – Cryme Tyme. Regal and Meyers come out and make sure that Negronomicon and his Posse members don’t interfere anymore. They are all sent out of the arena. Meyers and Regal congratulate the new champs. I am sure Haas and Benjamin are going to get reemed for this.
The next match is an inter-promotional one with the CSWA’s DX taking on the NWWA’s Ted Dibiasi and Cody Rhodes. Negronomicon showed up on the big screen and basically threated Rhodes and Dibiasi. He said that if they do not win their match, they’d best not come back to the NWWA. DX started off strong but the youngsters showed the veterans why this was a new age of wrestling. Dibiasi and Rhodes double-teamed Michaels for 3 rounds. The final round, Dibiasi hits Michaels with a steel chair and goes for the pin. He would have gotten it if HHH didn’t break the attempt. HHH is in now and is cleaning house against Rhodes. Another double team by Rhodes and Dibiasi and HHH is down. They went for pin attempts but HHH managed to kick out each time. Dibiasi is back in now against Michaels. HHH tries to get in the ring but the ref kicks him out. With the distraction going on, Dibiasi hits Michaels with a chair again and this time HHH does not make the save. Dibiasi and Rhodes win the match.
The following night was headlined by two matches in particular. First was MVP defending the Cruiserweight title against Elijah Burke. Burke went for a lariat and missed. MVP hit him with a superkick and got a 2 count. Burke basically had 3 offensive moves in the entire 9 minute match - a dropkick, a flying bodypress and an armbar. He was no match for the champ who just owned him. MVP got the win after hitting a devistating judo chop.
The main event was Rey Mysterio defending the US title against Mick Foley. Mysterio started off with a spinning heel kick and Mick connected with an eye gouge. Rey then tossed Mick out of the ring for that very unfriendly move and Mick barely made it back in. Mick then stomped on Rey’s throat and Rey connects with a big head scissors. Rey hits the hurricanrana and gets a 2 count. In frustration, Mick starts to rip hair out of his head. Rey hits a flying bodypress and gets the 1-2-3. Rey Mysterio is still the US Champion.
Mick is still in the ring and doesn’t want to leave. He calls out Booker T and demands his World title shot now. He doesn’t want to wait for the PPV. Booker comes out to oblige. Booker locks in a sleeperhold but Mick hits him with a chair. Booker then hits a forearm drop on Foley. A kick to the groin by Foley is followed up with another forearm drop by the champ. Booker hits yet another forearm drop and Foley counters with a belly to back suplex. He goes for the cover and barely gets a one count. Mick hits another belly to back suplex and still only a one count. Booker locks in a reverse chinlock (rest hold). A forearm drop by Booker and another chair shot by Foley. Foley is tossed out of the ring but gets back in at the 5 count. Booker is tossed out of the ring but is back in by the count of 3. A dropkick from the champ and Foley hits the Bang-Bang Piledriver. He goes for the pin but gets a 2 count. Booker hits a spinning smash but Foley stomps on Booker’s throat. He goes for the pin but gets just a 2 count. A forearm drop from the champ and you can tell Foley is getting really frustrated here. Foley connects with another piledriver but still just a two count. Mick hits the belly to back suplex but Booker keeps kicking out. Booker somehow manages to bounce off the ropes and catches Mick with a Bookend. Booker goes for the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Booker T is still the World Heavyweight Champion. I would be very surprised if Mick doesn’t get a rematch.
Before the show ended, CM Punk came out again and called out the Undertaker. Again, Regal came out and said that the Undertaker was not here. Punk started to question if the dead man was afraid of him. Just then, the Undertaker’s music hits and the lights go out. When they come back on, Punk is half way up the ramp and standing where he was just seconds earlier was the Undertaker. Undertaker motioned for Punk to come back to the ring but he wouldn’t do it. The show ended with Undertaker posing for the fans in the ring and then shaking hands with those at ringside before heading to the back.
