Hello fans and
welcome back to our newsletter. Today’s
issue comes from our show taped in front of a Portland, ME hot crowd. Before the show begins, we see the CSWA World
Champion the Undertaker arrive. As he
exits his limo, Brock Lesnar attacks him and bounces the champ off the
limo. Brock then F-5’s him on the limo
and then leaves.
The show begins,
not with GM Hulk Hogan or his lackey Psycho Jack Hercules but with a bunch of
newbies making their way down to the ring.
The introduce themselves as Adrian Neville, Prince Devitt and Tyler
Breeze and they call themselves the “NXT kids on the block”. They are here to make an Impact and they
immediately challenge the Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey. The Flyers and Rey Rey come out and say that
they will accept the NXT kids challenge.
They head to the ring for their match.
The new kids put
on a good show but it was not enough for the seasoned veterans. The Cartel only needed 8 minutes and with a
neckbreaker from El Dragon on Adrian, he secured the 1-2-3 for the Cartel. After the match, the Flyers and Rey Rey tried
to shake the NXT kids’ hands but they refused and walked away. It looks like the NXT kids will be rostered
to the CSWA.
We cut to the
back where another new guy is being introduced.
His name is Xavier Woods and he is here to win. He says he spoke to GM Hogan and asked for a
mentor to be teamed with and he was granted Tyson Kidd. Kidd and Xavier will be put in the HWF (Tyson
is being moved from CSWA).
Undertaker is in
the back being checked out and he says he’s fine. He is here to defend his title against an
Olympic Hero – Kurt Angle. This will not
set him back.
We head to the
ring where Christian has set up the ‘Peep’ Show (like his peeps, not something
creepy). He introduces his guest and it
is the Caped Crusader. Crusader comes
out to the cheering from the fans.
Christian asks about Ms. Caped Crusader and if there is ‘anything’
between the two. CC says no and that he
was approached by Ms. CC and asked if she could follow in his footsteps…bringing
truth and justice to the Women’s side of the house. They are immediately interrupted by the
Shield (Ryback, Ambrose & Rollins) and they start trashing the Peep
set. Christian and CC start to fight
back but are quickly overwhelmed.
Assistance comes from a very unlikely source as North American Champion
Mark Henry runs down and chases off the Shield.
Caped Crusader and Mark Henry actually shake hands and Henry says that
even though he has a match against Ryback later for the NA title, at Revenge,
we should see the Shield vs Christian, Henry and the Caped Crusader. The fans seem to like that idea.
Christian and the
Caped Crusader step out of the ring as Mark Henry prepares for his match
against Ryback. Mark is in control for
the first 8 minutes of the match but Ryback starts to build up steam and start
chipping away at the façade of the World’s Strongest Man. About 15 minutes into the match, the Shield
came back down to ringside and brawled with Christian and CC. Seth Rollins, after dropping the Crusader
with a well placed superkick, blasts Mark Henry with a steel pipe (behind the
ref’s back – of course). Ryback took
full control of the match and for the next 8 minutes, dominated Henry. A weakened Henry fell to the Meathook but
Ryback couldn’t pin him. He then
deadlifted Henry and nailed a powerslam that shook the entire ring. We were afraid it was going to collapse. Ryback makes the cover and with a hook of the leg (and some tights), Ryback gets
the 1-2-3. Ryback has just become the
NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.
We cut to a
video of the Elitist Champion Alexander Rusev in his home waiting on a pizza
delivery. The pizza guy finally shows up
and Rusev complains he is 2 minutes late and his pizza is now free. The pizza delivery guy reveals himself to be
Reid Rothchild (did he take on a part time gig to pay the bills or just for
this attack?) and attacks Rusev. Reid rubs
Rusev’s face in the pie, nails a stunner and pours tomato sauce on him before
leaving. Reid is partially satisfied but
he broke the rule about Rusev and Reid taking time away from each other. I wonder if this will have any reprecussions.
We go back to
the ring for our next match which has AJ Styles defending the US title against
Daniel Bryan. This is a really short
match that sees Styles dominate. It only
takes 4 minutes for Styles to hit the Styles Clash and pin Bryan. After the match, Daniel seemed more
frustrated at his loss.
GM Hulk Hogan is
backstage and says he will be making announcements all evening in regards to
the Revenge PPV. He confirms that
Alexander Rusev and Reid Rothchild will be in a Hell in a Cell. Hogan says to stick around as more
announcements will be forthcoming. (I don’t think he saw the segment between
Rusev and Reid)
We go back to
the ring and Cactus Jackie is already out there. She is calling out Ms. Caped Crusader. It was just revealed that she is going by the
name of Flamebird. She makes her way to
the ring and climbs in. Jackie gets in
her face asking what right she has to interfere in her matches and Flamebird
nails her with the Wam!Bam!Pow!. Jackie
retreats as Flamebird removes her mask….HOLY CRAP! It is none other than AJ Lee. The crowd pops (fyi, Hogan has been trying
since he took control to get Lee to sign a contract but Vinnie Mac wouldn’t
allow it). She skips around the ring
before asking for a microphone. “Hello
Portland!” The crowd pops again. “The greatest Women’s Champion is in the
house. Now, if I really wanted, I would
call out the Diva’s Champion Ravishing Raquel, challenge her and then take her
title but I’m really after one thing…initially and that is the Women’s
Title. I want to challenge the champ
right here and now to a non-title match.
After I win, I will challenge her for the title. Once I win that, I will call out the
Ravishing One and challenge her to a “winner takes all” match. Then and only then will I be the undisputed
Women’s champion.”
Velvet Sky makes
her way out and agrees to the non-title match up. AJ dominates the champ and even manages to
turn a reverse bulldog from Sky into the Black Widow where she gets the champ
to tap out in only 5 minutes. AJ is
already making a name for herself. She
picks up the mic again. “One win down
and one to go. Once I win the title, I
will dominate the division like my good friend did in his…you know who I’m
taking about.” A HUGE CM Punk chant
broke out.. “Pfft. Who?
No, I was referring to my buddy the Caped Crusader.” She dropped the mic, started skipping again
and then left the ring.
GM Hulk Hogan announces
that the Shield comprised of the North American champion Ryback, Dean Ambrose and
Seth Rollins will take on Christian, the Caped Crusader and Mark Henry at the
PPV.
Casey Jones makes
his way to the ring to defend the X-Division title. It is pretty amazing that the X-Division
title, along with the Intercontinental Championship have only changed hands 3
times. This is the fewest of any of the championships. However, where Dolph Ziggler has had 5
successful defenses, Casey Jones actually had 6. He is the longest reigning of all our
champions. He comes out with his tag
team partner Bran-Don-Goh (who just wants to win). Casey is a bit surprised when his opponent is
announced at is none other than the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. Casey actually gulps when Joe makes his way
to the ring. A fan in the front row has
a sign that reads “Joe’s gonna kill you”.
Casey did ok for the first 10 minutes but then after that, it was all
Joe. Joe was beating the champ down and
owning him but he just couldn’t get Casey to tap out or stay down for the
3. Just past the 25 minute mark, a
beaten and bloodied Casey Jones gets hurled into the crowd. Bran-Don-Goh pleads with him to just stay
down and Casey obliges. Casey ends up
getting counted out. Joe wins the match
but not the title. It looks like Casey’s
reign is still intact. Bran-Don-Goh
helps Casey to his feet only to knock him back down with a flying calf
kick. He then locks in a stepover toe
hold facelock and Casey is screaming in pain tapping out. Bran-Don-Goh kicks him a few times before leaving
to the nasty booing coming from this crowd.
He doesn’t seem to care.
It is time for
our main event and Kurt Angle comes out first to the cheering from the fans. He is then followed by a very slow moving
World Champion the Undertaker. Angle
asks Undertaker if he is ok to actually have this match as they can postpone it
till a later date but Undertaker answers with a huge boot to the face. Ok, I guess he’s ok afterall…maybe not. That seems to be all Undertaker had in his
tank as Angle lowered his strap and went to town on the champ. As each minute passed, Undertaker looked
worse and worse. By the time the 12th
minute rolled around, Undertaker could barely stand. Kurt picked up the champ and nailed an Angle
Slam. He yelled “Wooo” before making the
cover. The ref counted 1…2….3. Kurt Angle has just defeated the Undertaker
to become the NEW CSWA World Heavyweight Champion. As Kurt is celebrating in the ring, a video
comes on which shows Angle and Brock Lesnar…collaborating. WHAT THE?
Kurt is trying to play ignorant but the crowd is beginning to turn on
him. Kurt has no idea what happened
until Bobby Lashley comes out and says he ran the video. He knew Kurt was dirty as soon as he came
over from the HWF. Bobby says that if Kurt really is on the up and up, he would
give Bobby a title shot here and now.
Bobby chased Kurt out of and around the ring. Kurt stopped, grabbed a chair and blasted
Bobby with it. He then went to work on
Bobby’s ankle before throwing him in the ring.
Angle tells the ref to start the match.
For 3 minutes, Angle worked on the leg and ankle of Lashley. When Bobby could no longer stand on it. Kurt
applied the Angle Lock and got Bobby to tap out. Kurt is successful in his first
(questionable) title defense. Kurt
leaves to the booing of the crowd. Suits
come out to help Bobby to the back.
Back in his
office, Hogan says he has one more announcement before bringing this show to an
end. Hogan announces that Cena vs Lesnar
will be an I Quit Match. The crowd pops
until Hogan tells everyone “Thanks for coming, brothers!” and brings the show
to an end.
I think the
October PPV is shaping up pretty good right now. I think the full lineup for the card should
be determined in the next couple of weeks.
Stay Tuned.
