Hello
fans and welcome to our PPV – WARGAMES – LIVE from Kalamazoo, MI at Waldo
Stadium. The 36,000 seat outdoor venue
is sold out for both days. We expect the
show to top all expectations.
The
show begins with pyro going off and GM Max McGillicutty coming out to greet the
fans. He says that he doesn’t want to
waste any time and wants this amazing show in front of its amazing fans to get
right into the action. Max says the show
kick off with 6 man tag team action.
The
show starts with Eric Young, ‘Luke Warm’ Lucas Johnston and ‘Main Event’ Buff
Austin heading to the ring. The fans
booed each and every one of them.
Johnston, surprisingly got a very vocal disapproval. I guess this means he’s no longer ‘luke warm’
and he just plain sucks. After they got
to the ring, music hits and out comes Phat Sol accompanied by his niece Madame
Jade. They wait on the stage as Phat’s
tag team partners, our team from the Great White North make their way out. The Savior and Drew, the Canadian Love Machine
come out to a good pop. Phat Sol directs
them to the ring and they head down collectively and enter the ring. EY, Buff and Lucas all bailed out of the
ring. It took some convincing from the
ref but they finally came back in and we got this one off to the races. Phat chased EY around the ring but eventually
caught up with him. He beat down on him
for a few minutes and kept Buff and Lucas on the outside. Phat kept EY on their
side of the ring and wouldn’t let him tag out.
Phat tags in Drew, the CLM and he goes to work. Austin and Lucas both tried to get in the
ring but the Savior runs over and nails a flying body press taking both of them
out before they could even get involved.
Drew then nails EY with a corkscrew pescado and makes the cover for the
1-2-3. Drew, the Savior and Phat Sol are
victorious in the first match of the evening.
They shake hands with the fans at ringside before heading to the
back. (10 min)
We
cut backstage where we meet up with the World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain. Buzz Steel comments that he doesn’t
understand why the Desperados have become such “assholes”. Starbuck says that they are frustrated that
they couldn’t retain the titles and they’ll take it out on anyone they
can. Starbuck says that CJ has been on
the receiving end of Stache’s frustration.
He says that tonight, the Desperados will be sent home empty
handed. Buzz nods his head and says
“Word”.
We
head back to the ring for our next match which is a TLC – Tables, Ladders and
Chairs match between the American Wolves (Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards),
the Attitude Adjustment (Abyss & Adam Rose), the Dudley Boys (Devon and
Bubba) and the Dust Brothers (Goldust and Stardust). This is set up as an elimination match. This one started off with all 8 men in the
ring. As one person is eliminated, the
team can still win if one remaining member makes it to the end. Adam Rose is the first person eliminated by
Bubba after taking a chair shot to the face.
Abyss eliminates Devon Dudley after chokeslamming him through a table at
ringside. Davey Richards eliminates
Stardust after diving off a ladder and putting Stardust through a table. Eddie Edwards does everyone a favor and
eliminates Goldust after DDT-ing him on a chair. The Dust Brothers are out. Bubba then eliminates Abyss after he and
Eddie Edwards hit him with double chair shots.
The Attitude Adjustment are out.
The Wolves then dump Bubba out of the ring and have a stare off in the
ring. Eddie asks Davey if they want to
do this and he says sure. The two of
them start having a technical match but that is cut short after Bubba drops
Davey with a Bubba Bomb on a steel chair.
Eddie then attacks Bubba the starts blasting him with numerous chair
shots. Eddie goes for a pin but Bubba
reverses it and hits him with a Bubba Bomb.
Bubba grabs a table and sets it up in the ring. He then picks up Eddie
and climbs the turnbuckle. He hits Eddie
with the Bubba Bomb through a table. He
makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. The
Dudley Boys win this one and are working themselves up the ladder. I am sure they will get a title shot sooner
rather than later. (30 min)
Backstage
the Bella ladies (Taylor, Brie & Nikki) and they say that whomever scores
the pin on their opponents will get a title shot at the person who is
pinned. There is no way their opponents
will get anything resembling a win tonight.
We
go back to the ring as New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods) make
their way out to the ring. They are
dressed in singlets (apparently mocking the dress attire of the Varsity Club).
While they are running around the ring like a bunch of goofballs, we cut to a
video live streaming from the back. Kurt
Angle is giving his team (Jack Swagger, Frankie Kazarian & Bo Dallas) a pep
talk. Jack Swagger questions if they can
really pull this off and Kurt says they just have to Bo-leave. Bo Dallas smiles at the use of his
trademarked phrase. They huddle and then
yell “BREAK” and then head to the ring.
Kurt Angle leads his team down to the ring. The New Day was totally owning this match
until Kurt called for a surprise guest to come out. Out comes original Varsity Club member Mike
Rotundo. Rotundo (Bo Dallas’ dad) comes
out to a nice pop. Big E beats down on
Kurt Angle and Kofi and Xavier rush to attack Mike Rotundo. Rotundo fights them off but the numbers are
too great. The clock is winding down and
as we approach the time limit, the New Day doesn’t seem to care as they just
want to continue to inflict punishment.
They lay a beaten down Rotundo on a table that was set up and Kofi
climbs the turnbuckle to deliver a flying splash. Bo sees this and immediately recovers. Bo grabs Kofi before he can launch and that
gives Kazarian time to get Rotundo off the table. Bo then launches Kofi and he goes crashing
right through the table. New Day is
stunned. Bo makes the hot tag to Frankie
who drops Xavier. Woods makes the hot
tag to Big E but gets caught in a hammerlock.
Big E then shoulderblocks Frankie but then the bell rings signaling the
end of the match. Kurt is immediately in
the ring to stop any further attacks but Big E looks like he wants to
continue. Mike Rotundo gets in the ring
and stands by his son. Big E and Xavier
know they’re outnumbered so they grab an unconscious Kofi and leave the
ring. Big E curses at Kurt and Kurt
tells him anytime he wants a match, he’ll know where to find him. (30 min draw)
The
Brethren (Viktor and Konnor of the Ascension and Kane) are being interviewed
and there is tension amongst the team.
Reporter Clarkus Kentus asks the Ascension to explain here and now why
they are no longer associated with Bray Wyatt even though they are the 6 Man
tag team champs. Kane leans in and says
“now is as good a time as any”. Viktor
tells everyone that Bray had a vision and it showed that the Brethren were not
part of the family any longer. Konnor says
the decision for the split is 100% on Bray and they did not feel the necessity
to question it. Kane looks at them and
asks if he has a part in this future and Viktor said “unknown”. Kane lowered his head and walked out. The Ascension seem concerned and they follow.
Our
next match is the Bella Trio (Nikki, Brie and Taylor) taking on the Women’s
Champion Southern Belle, the Diva’s champion Jupiter Jane and Madame Jade. If one of the Bella’s scores the pin on a
champ, then that person gets a title shot at that title. All of the Bella ladies saw action in the
ring but for whatever reason, Madame Jade did not. The two ladies champions did all the work in
the ring but didn’t let Jade wrestle.
Nikki Bella looked to get hurt early on but like a trooper, she kept
working the match. The Bella’s had
frequent tags in and out but that didn’t stop the onslaught brought by the two
women champions. Jupiter Jane just got
done blasting the hell out of Taylor who made a hot tag to Nikki. Jane tags in Belle who reversed an armbar and
then tripped Nikki so she landed with her neck hitting the second rope. Belle rolled her up and got the 1-2-3. Belle, Jupiter Jane and Madame Jade get the
win. After the match, Madame Jade just
walked away. (10 min)
The
challengers to the World Tag team titles the Desperados (the Stache and El
Chango) are being interviewed by reporter Larry Morton. The Stache goes on a tirade about how he
drove CJ out of the HWF and CSWA because there is no way he’d show his face
around here after that beating he took.
El Chango says that it is time for the Tag Belts to come home as the
Steel Curtain are not the rightful owners; they are.
We
head back to the ring for our next match up which has the Enforcers (Ryback
& Mark Henry) take on the X-Factor (AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels) and
the Band (Dirk ‘the Pick’ Devon & the Axe).
The Enforcers hit the ring first followed by the Band and finally the
X-Factor. This one will be based on how
many wins a team can get within a 60 minute time limit. The Band score the first fall after Dirk
Devon pinned Mark Henry. The Enforcers
scored the next fall after pinning the AJ Styles. X-Factor scored back to back wins after Dirk
Devon got counted out and then Axe got counted out. The Band gets eliminated after Mark Henry got
the Axe to tap out to a bear hug. This
one went right up to the final seconds of the match and after Ryback missed a
spear, AJ nailed him with the Styles Clash and covered him for the 1-2-3. The X-Factor win this one and will be in line
next for a tag team title shot. (45 min)
GM
Max McGillicutty comes back out and again thanks everyone for attending. Max says that they have 100% sold out this
show and the place is at capacity. Max
says our final two matches of the evening will be for tag titles with the first
being the 6 man titles held by the Brethren (the Ascension & Kane) and they
are defending against the Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & Dean
Ambrose), The A-Team (Adrian Neville, Antonio Cesaro & Alberto el Patron)
and finally Prestige Inc. (Reid Rothchild, King Damian Sandow &
Magnus). The respective teams all hit
the ring within a minute of each other and the champs come out last. This one too will be an elimination
match. The last man standing will win,
for his team, the 6 man titles. In
order of elimination: Damian Sandow by
Antonio Cesaro; Alberto el Patron by Magnus; Seth Rollins by Konnor; Viktor by
Roman Reigns; Adrian Neville is eliminated by mistake after Cesaro, who was
going after Kane, hit his partner by mistake (Neville via Kane/Cesaro); Reid
Rothchild was also eliminated by his tag partner Magnus after Reid agreed to
let Magnus continue for the team; Konnor is eliminated by Dean Ambrose; Kane
then receives a superman punch from Roman Reigns and is eliminated. The Brethren have officially lost the
titles. Magnus is eliminated by Cesaro;
Cesaro is then double teamed by Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Ambrose holds Cesaro just as Reigns winds up
for the Superman punch but Cesaro ducks and Ambrose eats it eliminating him. Cesaro then hits Reigns with a Swiss uppercut
and rolls him up for the final 1-2-3.
The A-Team have just become the NEW 6 MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. Alberto el Patron and Adrian Neville come out
and celebrate with their partner holding the titles high and then leaving as
one united group. (45 min)
GM
Max McGillicutty comes back out and congratulates the new champions. Max says the main event is up next and he is
interrupted by the Desperados. Stache
gets into Max’s face and says that they too will be congratulated as the new
champs. They make their way down to the
ring. The Tag Team Champions the Steel
Curtain are then introduced to one of the loudest pops of the night. Starbuck and Buzz Steel hold their titles
high as they make their way down to the ring.
Just as the champs enter the ring, El Chango and Stache go on the
offensive and they rush to ring the bell to start this one off. For the first 8 minutes of the match, the
Desperados pulled all the stops out. The champs then battled back with numerous
double teams but then so did the challengers.
After the 10 minute mark, this match was about as even as it could
get. Stache contemplated walking out a
few times but then changed his mind. All
4 men hit their specialty moves but none could keep their opponent’s shoulders
down for that elusive 3 count. The fans
were actually cheering both teams as this was surely the highlight match of the
night and well deserving of being the main event. Before we knew it, we were 29 minutes in with
only 60 seconds left. Stache had just
made the hot tag to El Chango and Buzz to Starbuck. Just then, CJ comes out on stage and starts
to walk down towards the ring. The
Stache sees him and jumps down to confront him just as El Chango was looking for
double teaming. The Stache started
jaw-jacking to CJ who just stood there and smirked. Back in the ring, El Chango caught Starbuck
in a head scissors and just as he was going for the pin, the bell rang
signaling a time limit draw. Stache
turned and went back to his corner but it was too late. This one is over and the Steel Curtain retain
their titles via time limit draw. The
champs leave as the Desperados complain in the ring. CJ then runs in and drops the Stache with a
bulldog headlock. He then keeps running
as to stay away from El Chango. CJ
laughs all the way back and the fans cheer.
El Chango sneers and shakes his fist but alas, there is nothing that can
be done.
Max
is out for the final time of the evening and thanks the fans for
attending. Those who will be live and
watching on PPV will be in for a treat tomorrow as there will be one additional
match that has been approved and that will be added to tomorrow’s card. Stay tuned for Day 2.
