A video package of the majority of last week plays with "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi playing the in the background. The camera hits the live arena, who is hopped up tonight and highlights them with the Spider Cam before showing the fireworks go off.
"Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde hits and Christian Cage steps out from the curtain, looking out into the crowd as they go wild.
Paul Heyman: "Now this is a man that we have been trying to catch up to all week, ladies and gentleman."
Eric Bischoff: "As we know, TWC allows wrestlers to leave their contracts to work for the WWE and TNA given that they forfill their previous comittments. Cage has taken advantage of this and now wrestles for ECW. Tell us the problem, Paul."
Paul Heyman: "The problem is that Christian Cage is booked for this Tournament, and if he wins, he can take the belt with him to the WWE!"
Eric Bischoff: "Scary thoughs, Paul. It seems like the only one that can save the show is....ME!"
Christian gets in the ring and points outward to the crowd before grabbing a mic. He lets the crowd settle before starting to talk.
Christian Cage: "Can you guess the question that Captain Charisma has been asked over and over again this past week? I'll tell you, the question that's been asked has been 'what now, Christian? What about The Wrestling Clinic? What if you win the Title?' WELL IT'S LIKE THIS: Christian Cage is is gonna beat Paul London next week, and then he is going to go to Wrestlelustion and and win the TWC World Heavyweight Championship!"
The crowd cheers for this.
Christian Cage: "And then you know what I'm gonna to do next? I'm gonna take my Title to ECW, win that Title and unify them, shutting this company down before it ever gets a chance to gett of its feet....BECAUSE THAT'S... HOW I ROLL!"
The crowd finally starts booing Christian Cage, as his music hits once again and he makes his way to the back.
In the back we have a stand off with The Highlanders and The New Klique The are getting closer while exchanging a few words before from behind The New Klique, La Resitance attacks them The Highlanders, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch attack. A giant gang fight breaks out, with all 8 men who aren't on the same team fighting each other before we get a giant mass of security to try and stop the bunch. However, Rory McAllister we see is laid out and hurt badly before cutting off to the ring area again.
Sabu vs. Val Venis Quote:

Sabu and Val Venis makes their ways to the ring. Venis gets a mild reaction, but isn't booed. Sabu gets a very large reaction of most pure cheers. The match is pretty much a squash. Val Venis gets some offense early on but is shut out very quickly. It's vintege Sabu showing off his Suicide antics, up and down off the ropes. Venis has the tradition come back teaser before once again being shut out by Sabu, who his the chairless arabian facebuster, for the 1-23, advancing in the tournament.

Ken Doane's music hits and he gets a mild reaction of boos as he stomps to the ring, screaming at the fans on the way. The announcer introduces him and the bell rings for the match, but before his opponent's music hits, he grabs the mic and begins to talk.
Ken Doane: "I've been underestimated EVERYWHERE I go! I'm nothing but a tall and skinny no talented nobody to not only you guys, but people like our Chairman RobyD. Thankfully he's given me a shot, just like I deserve tonight, so I can finally break though the 15th glass ceiling that's been put above me...and I'm going to prove to everyone that I am in fact the best wrestler alive today....SUPAHHHH FLYYYY KEN DOANE!"
Ken Doane vs. Eugene Dinsmore Quote:
|
Eugene makes his way to the ring next, and he gets the loudest reaction of the night thus far, topping even Christian Cage's. Eugene is very interactive with the fans on the way. The match starts early on in the favor of Ken Doane, but Eugene Dinsmore "Hulk Up" and starts fighting back. He gains control, at first hitting several normal wrestling holds, and getting very close to pinning Ken Doane a few times. Doane is frustrated, prompting him to leave the ring. He tries to run around quick enough to sneak up on Eugene, but is caught by a high drop kick as Eugene rips off his shirt in classic Hogan style as the crowd goes crazy and Eugene points and shouts "YOU!". He segways to "Just Bring It" and tries for a Rock Bottom. Doane finds his way out of it and his a Spike DDT, before becoming very vicious and malicious, stomping Dinsmore heavily. Doane pick Dinsmore up and tosses him around with a couple more methodical wrestling moves. Eugene tries once again to come back but he's hsut up with a Snap Neckbreaker. Ken Doane hits his Sky High Leg Drop which gets a pop and a lot of pictures for the win, advancing in the tournament.

Mike Adamle is standing in the back with Rob Van Dam ready to interview him.
Mike Adamle: "RVD, tonight you have a match with Hardcore Holly in a tournament for the TWC World Heavyweight Title, your thoughts?"
Rob Van Dam: "Mike, just like you, I'm not one for words. Fact is, the only thing that's on my mind is that tonight, Bob Holly is sure to bring me one hell of a fight...but I will walk out one step closer to my Title.
The camera moves back to the live arena where Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff give us an update on The Highlanders.
Paul Heyman: "Ladies and gentleman, we can't lie. Rory McAllister is hurt, but he is cleared to wrestle tonight and has chosen to do so.
Eric Bischoff: "As they should, it's their duties as wrestlers, or else they'd be cowards!"
The Highlanders vs. The Basham Brothers Quote:
|
The story of this match is the psychology being played off by both Rory McAllister and the commentators that Rory is injured and The Highlanders have a disadvantage. Robbie tries to stay in the ring and starts the match dominating. It isn't long before the numbers catch up to him, though, and he needs to make a tag. Now both The Highlanders are hurt and Rory is the only option at this point as he is the "fresh man". Robbie makes the tag and for only a minute, he dominates. Eventually, though, The Bashams find wealth in numbers again. They dominate for a couple more minutes before a breakdown where all four members of the match are in the ring, and it leaves Rory in control and the legal man Danny Basham a victim of the Scot Drop. He's down and out, but when Doug and Dannny pull the old switcharoo, it doesn't really matter. Doug Basham catches Robbie by surprise with a Last Impression. 1...2...and 3! The Bashams win, leaving the Round Robin at Highlanders (1-1), The Bashams at (1-0) and The New Klique at (0-1).

Rob Van Dam vs. Hardcore Holly Quote:

This is a basic competetive squash as the bell rings. We start with a lot of Rob Van Dam offence as he flirts his athletesism. Not much actual "Wrestling" here, but we get to see the the two go back and forth in a smashmouth style for about 3 minutes before Van Dam kicks him right to the head and hits one after another, the Air Van Dam, Rolling Thunder, Van Terminator, Hollywood Star Press and finally, what the crowd came to see, the Five Star Frog Splash for the win. Rob Van Dam advances in the Tournament

Paul London makes storms his way to the ring wearing his wrestling attire with a mic already in his hand. He's usually slaps the fans hands, but he looks serious tonight. When he gets in the ring the fans are chanting "London, so he waits for them to finish before starting.
Paul London: "Tonight I wasn't prepared to wrestle, and I really don't have to...but the fact is, I got some pretty damn bad news. You see Christian Cage said that next week he'd take me out and continue on his quest to becoming the TWC World Heavyweight Champion before destroying it in the WWE. Well that struck a damn cord. RobyD hired me and said that he wanted me to be the AJ Styles that carried his company, just that when we get big he'll still give a damn about me. So with no need to say, I want us to succede...and it just pisses me off when someone like Christian puts that in jeapordy. So how about this, Christian? Since you're so eager to take our Title and get the hell out of here, why don't I help you out. Let's fast forward a week and have our match....TONIGHT!"
The crowd pops big for this.
Paul Heyman: "I usually love guts and integrety, especially when they mix.... but I think Paul London should take some time to prepare for a match with some of the stature of Christian Cage...."
Eric Bischoff: "Eh, if the kid wants to mess us up already, let Him. I don't have a problem blaming Him"
Christian Cage's music hits with a mixture of a big pop and boos. He as well has a mic in hand, prepared to talk. Christian, though, is wearing his street clothes.
Christian Cage: "So you want to go at it tonight, kid? You want an epic match between the global star: Captain Charisma and some no named nobody? You want Christian Cage to defend his words tonight? Let the crowd go home happy? Well TOO BAD, not gonna happen, you see it's like this....."
Christian is cut off by RobyD's music, which is "Party At The Gallows" by The Sound Archives [myspace.com/thesoundarchives]. Roby brings with him a referee and HIS own mic.
RobyD: "Actually Christian, it is gonna to happen....and it's gonna happen RIGHT NOW!"

This match is by far the show stealer. The two are back and forth in the beginning, trading off blows and slams, but Christrian gets the better of it. Christian starts the dominate, but they still maintain the "back and forth" feeling, as his dominance doesn't last long. London now gets a chance to deal some damage on Christian. Likewise, though, his dominace doesn't last long. The two go about this for about 5 minutes before the breakdown where its reversal after reversal of normal moves, singature moves and finishing moves. Neither man can seem to hit a winning move or even stay in control for more than 10 seconds by this time. It isn't a very "high spotty" match, but a point comes where we see Christian go for a back drop, with London flipping out and trying his own but only for Christian to back flip out and try it again. London back flips out again and he tries it once more but Christian once again backflips out and hits the Unprettier for the 1...2...FALSE FINISH! The match continues a little bit longer and Christian tries his finisher again, but London hits a Reverse Tiger Suplex and finishes the match with the Shooting Star Pess, advancing in the Tournament as the camera fades and the night is over.
