Football - 24 men start the match, 12 on each team. On the outside of the ring on two opposing ends, there are small cages which will act as goals. Each team starts outside the ring by their goals. The points of the match is have the football, which starts in the middle of the ring, end up in your team's goal. To stop your opponents from getting the football in your goal, you beat the hell out of them.
Capture The Flag - The 12 men from the losing team are now elimated leaving the former winning team of 12 to be split into teams of 6. Inside both the cage a red fleg and a blue flag, respectively. You have to retrieve the other team's flag and bring it to your goal to win the match. However, your flag also has to be in the goal for this to matter, meaning you have to defend your goal as well. Once again, you can only do all of this by beating the hell out of the other team.
Zombies - The 6 men of the losing team are now eliminated and the goals/cages are no longer in play and the teams are split into 3. If you are pinned by a person from the opposite team then you become part of their team. If you are the only person left on your team and you are pinned, then you are the one eliminated. A person can be pinned and change teams as much as circumstances allow.
Juggernaut - With now 5 people remaining, a juggernaut is pronounced and an 8 minute time limit is declared. You can only become the juggernaut by pinning the juggernaut. The juggernaut when the time runs up wins the match.
A short clips plays with "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi, highlighting the people on the roster a little bit, but not too much. The camera zooms into the live arena with the spider cam as fireworks and pyro explode and confetti falls, introducing the live crowd and the television viewers to the first ever episode of The Wrestling Clinic: Chaos Theory. The commentators introduce the fans to the show with an overwhelming enthusiasm.
Eric Bischoff: "Ladies and gentleman, we are LIVE tonight for the debut of what could be the greatest wrestling production of all time!" Paul Heyman: "Because of all the great wrestlers?" Eric Bischoff: "Because of the greatest play-by-play commentator of all time, Eric Bischoff!" Paul Heyman: "Humbling. Well tonight we have a blockbuster show planned for you, with 7 matches on the card. No talk, all action on our debut as we bein deciding the first ever World and Tag Champions!"
The camera heads to the ring where RobyD is standing with a mic, waiting for a fans to calm down, wit a huge smile on his face.
RobyD: "HAHA, WELCOME TO THE WREEEEEESTLING CLIIIIIINNNIIIC!"
The crowd pops huge for this!
RobyD: "Well I don't want to take up too much of your time but all I want to do is thank you people for making my dream come true, and I promise to deliver something great tonight! Enjoy!"
Justin Credible & X-Pac vs. The Highlanders
Quote:
X-Pac's music hits and Justin Credible and himself, along Scott Hall as a manager make their way to the ring, acting as ancey as usual, with the three doing "suck-it" signs and throwing up the Wolfpack Klique sign. They are introduced as "The New Klique" as they get in the ring and wait for their opponents. The Highlanders come out next to Scottish type music and the crowd pops a good amount for them. The socialize with the crowd quite a bit.
Paul Heyman: "Well the way this works is simple. We will have a normal Tag Team match right here, and next week the winner will face The Basham Brothers. The week after that, the two Tag Teams whom have yet to have a match will face each other and the two teams with the best record in this Round Robin will face each other at our first ever Pay Per View, Making History to see who becomes the first ever TWC World Tag Team Champions." Eric Bischoff: "Vey well explained, my extreme partner, let's see who can steal this first match."
The bell rings as we start with Robbie McAllister and X-Pac. Robbie looks to be in a ground wrestling stance, though he is more of a smash mouth wrestler. X-Pac won't take any seriousness in a match, though, and plays with McAllister, continuously switching hands for the Test of Strength. Eventually, Robbie throws out the TOS and simply kicks X-Pac in the gut, backing him into the Turnbuckle and sending him off to the next. Robbie McAllister catches some speed and hits a big Corner-Body Splash to Pac as Pac Flair Flops to the ground and the crowd pops. Robbie picks his opponent up and Snapmares him back down, holding in the Headlock. Credible tries to get the crowd on his side, but all he gets are a couple of laughs. Eventually McAllister backs off and runs back hitting a Spinal Tap. Robbie keeps on X-Pac, picking him up and and backing him into his own corner to tag in his partner Rory McAllister. Robbie picks X-Pac up and Back Breakers him, holding him there as Rory hits the Leg Drop off the Middle Turnbuckle. Rory throws a couple of punches X-Pac's way, but he doesn't have the advantage for long say X-Pac starts throwing some punches of his own. He throws a kick to back of Rory's knee, then a Spinning Kick to Rory's Gut and finnally X-Pac leaps real high hitting a Spinning Wheel Kick to the chest of Rory and both men are down. Two count from the ref and both Tag Partners have their hand out reached. Four count from the ref and the two wrestlers in the ring start to rumble, tossing and turning. Six count from the ref and both men have stumble to their feet, tagging in their respective partners. Robbie bursts into the ring, taking out X-Pac and then Justin Credible. X-Pac finds his way out of the ring because of Rory McAllister and Robbie finds the strength to hit to Scot Drop, but he only gets a two count. Justin Credible is a fresh man. Robbie picks Credible up and Hip Tosses him into his own Turnbuckle as X-Pac makes the tag. X-Pac is caught by a Japanese Arm Drag followed by his dealing of the Scot Drop for the 1, 2 and the 3.
Here are your winners, and the first to score a point in the Tag Team Title Round Robin, Robbie and Rory: The HIIIIIIGHLANDERS!"
Paul Heyman: "Well how was that for a First Match?" Eric Bischoff: "I have to admit, it was pretty awesome, but nothing compared to a match I would of booked." Paul Heyman: "Yeah, maybe, but we couldn't get David Arquett on board." Eric Bischoff: "Aren't you a funny guy. Ladies and gentleman, up next we are gonna see D'Lo Brown vs., LISTEN TO THIS, Bobby Lashley!"
Bobby Lashley vs. Paul London
Quote:
Paul London's music hits and he gets a pretty loud pop as he makes his way to the ring running as fast as he can his and slapping the hands of the members in the crowd. As loud as London's ovation was, Bobby Lashley gets a tremendous reaction from the crowd, who love him. Lashley does his usual taunt and pyro combination. The bell rings and London rushes in throwing a flurry of punches to Lashley's gut, but Lashley throws London off across the ring. London gets back up and runs back at Lashley, trying the same thing and likewise, he finds the same result. As London recovers this time, Lashley grabs him by his head and tosses him across the ring. London gets back up and falls into the corner Turnbuckle. Lashley runs and hits a huge Body Splash and as London stumbles out, he hits a giant Power Slam, going for the cover, but only a two count. Lashley jumps to his feet as London crawls to his knees and hits him with a couple of Clubby Blows, isolating him to the ground. Eventually, London is able to grab Lashley's feet and trip him. He flows right into a cover but less than a one count. As London flies into the air from the powerful kick out, he pounces right back on Lashley with a Headlock. It isn't long before Lashley powers up, and hits a Back Body Drop, though. Lashley then continues to throw stomps to the back of London. As London finally gets to his feet, Lashley snaps a Belly-to-Belly Suplex on him. London quickly recovers and ducks a Clotheline attempt from Lashley. As the two face each other once again, London gets into a amature wrestling stance, challenging Lashley. The two, with their knees bent for leverage, Lock Up and stuggle for positioning. Lashley, of course, gets the better of it, though, and slams London on his face, then dropping to the mat for a Headlock. After a couple of moments in the Headlock, London is able to turn himself enough to hit a Headlock Takedown on Lashley, then holding in his own Headlock. Lashley uses his feet to arch his back, though, putting himself over London for the cover but only a two count. The two recover and London tries for a Body Slam, but Lashley is much too difficult to pick up. Lashley drops an elbow to the b ack on London and picks him up for what looks to be a Body Slam but London struggle to land behind Lashley and pushes him into the Turnbuckle, causing Lashley to catch his head. As he stumbles backwards, he is caught by a Neckbreaker. London tries for the pin, but only a two count. London picks Lashley up to work on him more, but only to find himself being flung by his feet. Lashley grabs London from behind and snaps a Belly to Back Suplex, then flowing over to London's front side and hitting a high stalling Vertical Suplex. Lashley gets to his feet and taunts for seemingly the Dominator. As he picks Lond up, though, London his able to struggle his way out. He drop kicks the legs of Lashley continuously and finally knocks him to the ground. London then his a standing Shooting Star Press and gets to the Turnbuckle. London goes for a 450 but lands on his feet as he sees Bobby Lashley recovering. London hits a Dropsault to knocks Lashley down once again and then finally hits the 450 Splash for the cover and the three count.
Here is your winner to advance in the TWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament: PAUUUUUL LONDOOOOON!!"
Paul Heyman: "WOW, what a match!" Eric Bischoff: "Did Paul London just defeat Bobby Lashley?" Paul Heyman: "Why, yes he did. What a way to start in a company, Eric, knocking off Bobby Lashley!" Eric Bischoff: "That would have been Psicosis defeating Goldberg...." Paul London: "Everything's WCW with you, isn't it? Well up next we have Chris Masters vs. Christian Cage. Let's see if Masters can have the London luck?"
Christian Cage vs. Chris Masters
Quote:
Chris Master's music hits and he comes out to a generally mixed reaction, but mostly boos. Masters does his perfect kind of taunts at the stage, similar to what he did in the WWE and the commentators go quiet for it. He cockily makes his way to the ring and waits for his opponent. This is when Moore's hits and the crowd give him a very positive reaction, similar to the one Paul London got. Moore uses his hand to glance over the ground and slaps his chest then pointing outwards. He slaps the crowds hands a little bit before getting in the ring and taunting some more. As the bell rings, Masters goes right in from a kick to the gut of Moore. He then tries for an Arm Wringer, but Moore doesn't give it to him. Moore pulls him in for a Clotheline and stands back to his feet, taunting as usual. He Snapmare and Headlocks the formerly recovering Chris Masters. As Masters finds strength, he throws several elbows to Moore's gut. Masters runs into the ropes and hits a Shoulder Block on his way back. Masters runs into the ropes facing his right and jumps over a still fallen Shannon Moore. When Masters returns, it is Moore who leap frogs of him and catches him with an Arm Drag. Masters gets straight back up and is caught by a Body Slam. This is when Shannon Moore taunts for the finish and hits a Flipping Neckbreaker for the finish.
Here is your winner to advance in the TWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament: Shannon Moore!
Eric Bischoff: "Well Shannon Moore makes very quick work out of the Masterpiece. Up next though, it is sure to be a blockbuster back and forth match between Christian and Elijah Burke!"
Elijah Burke vs. Christian Cage
Quote:
[i]Elijah Burke's music hits and he teases the crowd a little bit before coming out by waiting a couple of seconds. Finally, he pulls himself out of the curtains where he gets a decent sized pop. It is evident that there are some booing him, however, he is mostly being cheered. Burke, carrying his towel, makes his way to the ring. He gets on the turnbuckle and points across the arena to the fans. Next out is Christian Cage who gets the loudest pop of the night as the fans go absolutely crazy. Christian walks to the ring, interacting with the crowd. He gets on the Turnbuckle when he gets in the ring, kisses his two fingers and points into the crowd. As he gets down, the bell rings and the two lock up. It is a very intense lock up, as the struggle allacross the ring. Finally, Christian gets the better as he flows into a Headlock. Burke tries to power out of it, but Christian simply switches sides, and then flows into a Wraparound Wristlock. Elijah Burke after trying several different ways, uses his legs to snap a Drop Toe hold to get out of te Wristlock. Burke flows over to the Rear Naked Choke. Christian, though, will have none of this and turns his body around to grab the arm of Burke and pull him back into the Wistlock, but now on the ground. Christian stands up and stomps the arm of Burke and taunts, allowing them both time to recover. Burke gets back to his feet and runs at Christian but only to be caught by an Armdrag. As Burke recovers, he catches Christian with an Armdrag. The two then exchange Clothelines, followed by a Double Clotheline and then both steadily make their way to their feet. Christian runs at Burke but Burke uses his arms to trip the legs of Christian. He tries for an Elbow drop from there but Christian moves. As Burke stands to his feet, Christian locks in an Arm Wringer and hits a Shoulder Block. He torques the arm by whipping it up and down. Burke ducks the arm and pulls it into a Wristlock of his own, but after a couple of seconds, Burke's arm is ducked giving Christian the Wristlock advantage again. Burke throws several elbows backwards towards Christian and then runs into the ropes. When he comes back, though he is caught by a very high Drop kick to the face. Burke quickly gets up and throws a punch at Christian. Christian returns the favor. The two start going back and forth with punches as is climaxes, but Christian gets the better end of it. Christian goes to throw Burke off of the ropes but Burke turns it around and reverses the Irish Whip. A now running Christian, though, runs straight into the Turnbuckle ,jumps onto the second ropes and jumps off to hit a High Cross Body. He goes for the cover but only a two count. Christian stands to his feet and taunts to the crowd for a couple of seconds. When he turns around, Burke rams him straight into the Turnbuckle. When he's there, though, he keeps going, ramming hisshoulder over and over again into Christian's gut. Burke backs up and hits a huge Dropkick to Christian and Christian drops to the ground. Burke elevates himself, using the Turnbuckle and drops another huge Drop kick to a Christian who is sitting in the Turnbuckle. One again, Burke elevates himself, but this time hits an Elbow Drop. Burke backs up and taunts a recoverin in the corner, Christian. He runs at him and tries for an Elijah Express, but Christian moves. Burke ends up caught up in the Turnbuckle and Christian drops him for the Tree of Woe, standing on his groin. Christian then slaps his chest, pulls Burke down from the Turnbuckle and hits the Unprettier for the cover and the win.

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).
A hype video is shown on the Titontron, highlighting Petey Williams moments, especially the Canadian Destroyer. The music climaxes before coming to a sudden stop with a picture of of Petey on screen saying "Petey Williams is coming to The Wrestling Clinic....Wrestlelution". The camer fades out and heads back to the ring.
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!"
Paul London vs. Christian Cage
Quote:
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.
A video package is shown which is now pumped up with the first two weeks of the show and plus the pretaped footage of this week. "It's my Life" by Bon Jovi is playing the background. A camera flys over the crowd and they go wild chanting. It's My Life fades and Paul London's music hits. London is dressed in casual clothes and doesn't run to the ring. A "London" chant is flowing through out the fans as he gets in the ring and asks for a mic.
Paul London: "Two weeks ago I beat a former ECW World Champion. Just last week I beat a former NWA World Champion who claimed he'd take our belt and leave before I shut him up. At Wrestlelusion, I might find myself facing TWO MORE former World Champions in Sabu and Rob Van Dam, and I DARE you guys to win. I dare you, because it's just what I need to establish MYSELF as a World Champion. Bu trust me, you, regardless of who it is, come Wrestlelustion I am going to walk out as The Wrestling Clinic Champion....a champion for you people."
Paul London points to the crowd and puts the mic down. His music hits and he makes his way back to the back.
A Petey Williams promo shows with footage of him working out, jump roping and jogging before leading up to a video of him hitting the Canadian Destroyer fading into a picture of him with text on the side that says "Petey Williams at Wrestlelustion".
Val Venis & Eugene vs. D'Lo Brown & Elijah Burke
Quote:
D'Lo Brown and Elijah Burke make their seperate entrances. D'Lo isn't too much trying to draw heat as opposed to Elijah Burke who flaunts his distaste for the crowd, taunting them a little bit andteasing his hand before pulling away. Venis and Eugene enter together under Eugene's music and they play the crowd a lot, oth ofthem interacting. From when the bell rings the match is pretty even all the way through. Eugene and D'Lo start the match. D'Lo tries several times trying to get the advantage but Eugene reverses every time in a joking manner. Eventually D'Lo gets frustrated and tags in Elijah. Eugene tries the same antics. They work at first, but Burke finally hits a hard clotheline stopping Eugene in his tracks. Elijah Burke dominates him for a couple of minute until Eugene makes the hot tag to Val Venis. Venis lights house for only about 15 seconds until te numbers become two much with Eugene down and both Burke and Brown healthy. Burke and brown start working on Venis pretty stiff, with tags in and out. It's Brown in the ring when Venis is able to hit an Enzeguiri and try for the Tag. Just as Venis gets to Eugene, though, Eugene drops to the floor and walks out. While Venis is staring at the turnbuckle, takes an Elijah Express and when he drops to the mat he takes a Low Down Splash allowing for Brown and burke to get the win.
After a little bit of capitalization of Eugene turning his back on Venis, and him looking more serious than ever, the screen goes to the titantron where a hype video of Sonjay Dutt is shown. It's a very fast pace 30 seconed video of Dutt in high flying action. The video comes to a sudden stop with a picture of him on the screen with text that says "Sonjay Dutt at Wrestlelution".
Sabu vs. Ken Doane
Quote:
Ken Doane makes his way to the ring, storming down, as if he was angry at the world. Sabu's music hits and we wait about 5 seconds for him to come out the curtain but nothing. The lights go off for only about 2 seconds and when they turn back on Sabu is attacking Ken Doane. Sabu dominates the first half of the match, not showing as much high risk action as he would usually. It's mostly Snapmares, Body Slams and Suplexs followed by jumping Legdrops and things of the sorts. After taking quite a lick of beatings, Doane is able to reverse and find himself on the winning end of the match. It isn't for long though, that he makes his come back. Doane brutalizes Sabu a little bit with emphasis on punching in several places in the ring before attemtping to throw Sabu into the Turnbuckle. This is reverse, however, and Doane finds himself in the turnbuckle and caght but a flying legdrop. Sabu then gets onto the top ropes as Doane fals out and his a chairless version of the Arabian Facebuster for the win to advance in the Tournament.
In the back we are in RobyD's office as he's reading through some papers when Rob Conway, Sylvan Genier, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch blast into his office, all screaming at once.
RobyD:"Alright, shut up! What the hell do you guys want?"
Rob Conway: "What we all want is for La Resistance to be in the Tag Match at Wresltelustion!"
Cade and Murdoch quickly looks over at Conway and snap back.
Lance Cade: "That's not what we want, we want me and Cade to be in the Tag match at Wrestlelution!"
The all start arguing at the same time again.
RobyD: "ALRIGHT! sine none of you were in TWC two weeks ago and couldn't compete in opening rounds, I'll tell you what. Next week, La Resistance vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch and the winner advances to the Tag Match. Good? Now go away!"
The Bashams vs. X-Pac & Justin Credible

The entire match is pretty even with back and forth offence, quick reverses and false finishes, even early on. It's a quick match, to say the least. The highlight of the match was Credible hitting the Piledriver on Danny Basham only for Danny to be pulled out for the old switcharoo, but X-Pac Tagging in and as soon as Doug gets in him being hit by the X-Factor for the pin.
Paul Heyman: "Wait, it's tied up, 1-1 for all three teams, who go on to the match at Wrestlelustion!?" Eric Bischoff "Probably none of them. It'll be La Resistance for the Tag Titles next week, right?"
Chris Masters' music hits, and he gracefull makes his way to the ring, stunning entrance and all. The crowd, instead of being in awe, is piping a chorus of boos. Masters grabs a mic from an official and begins talking.
Chris Masters: "Do I look great or what? I mean really, new company, but the same old stunning pecs! And as stunning as they are, it's a real shame that Chris Masters doesn't have a match atm Wrestlelustion....so here is what I am proposing..."
Masters is interrupted by D'Lo Brown's music as he makes his way to the ring with a mic.
D'Lo Brown: "Well, Mr. Masterpiece, not many people have known me to be a talker.... but I see that you've been overlooked...and I've been overlooked...so how about you and me..."
D'Lo Brown is now interrupted by Elijah Burke's music, and HE makes his way to the ring with a mic of his own.
Elijah Burke: "Well as opposed to you, my black friend, I am a bit of a talker, so I'll be the one to put it like this: you Chris Masters was overlooked and you D'Lo Brown was overlooked. I was overlooked, so how about us three go to Wrestlelustion and you two let me slap you around a little bit so I can prove myself?"
RobyD's music now hits and he makes his way to the top of the ramp with a mic.
RobyD: "Actually, none of you have been overlooked. You all lost in the World Title Tournament first round and I REALLY don't have time for losers but you are all great talents so I'll do you a favor. You guys can go out and do your stuff at Wrestlelution for a belt I am going to call the Hybrid Championship, where the Champion cannot defend the title in the same match more than once. You three will be in a match that I like to call the 3-King match!"
RobyD's music hits and he heads to the back and as do the cameras as we see Shannon Moore in the back standing by Mike Adamle ready to do an interview.
Mike Adamle: "Well Shannon, you're getting ready to go into the biggest match of your life and if you win, you'll fight for the World Title. Are you ready?"
Shannon More is hyping himself up by jumping up and down like The Rock.
Shannon Moore: "Am, I ready? AM I READY!? Probably not, but I'm gonna go into the match anyways, and RVD better be ready, because I am ready...ready to give him everything I have!"
Shannon Moore's music is heard from the back so he leaves Adamle and makes his way out to the ring to a loud pop as does RVD to an even louder pop.
Shannon Moore vs. Rob Van Dam

As the bell rings, Shannon Moore jumps on RVD and backs him into the coner before RVD pushes him back. moore comes back, taking RVD down and throwing a flury of punches his way. RVD tosses him off again. Moore waits for RVD to get up and catches him with several Arm Drags ad well as a Hip Toss and a Quick Body Slam followed by a leg drop and a pin. RVD kicks out but Shannon Moore follows through with a load of Clubby Blows. Finally, RVD powers out and and takes advantage of it. RVD works as the big man in this match, one of the only times in his career. Other than a couple of things like a Spinning Leg Drop, he doesn't work too quick or high risky, as Moore is quicker than him. After a couple of dominating minutes, Moore starts trying to come back but he is shut out every time. Moore tries attack the gut of RVD, but RVD grabs Moore's arm and lifts him up, dropping him straight on his face, but follows it up with a back flip. Eventually in the match, Moore does get a come back, with a lot of momentum and adrenaline felt. The high point of it is an Ezeguiri followed by a Spinning Wheel kick. As Moore tries to follow it up, RVD stops him once again, as he jumps up and kicks moore straight to the face. RVD then hits the ropes and give Shannon a 5-Star Frog Splash for his efforts to end the match and advance in the tournament.
I'm impressed for an hour long show you know how to pack some action thats for sure.
Best Match: Going to have to go with the Main Event here. It was very solid full of action and its surprising of all the superstars to give a push to Shannon Moore? Interesting to see how that turns out for you.
Worst Match: They are all good, but I am going to go with The Bashams VS. X-Pac and Incredible. Like I said they were all good, but this one had less description so it was harder to get into.
Best Promo: I'd say the Masters/D'Lo Brown promo was the best pretty interesting and I smell quite the rivalry bruing between those two big men!
Worst Promo: They were all good and they all had a purpose whther to hype a match, return or Wrestlelusion.
Be sure to re-read your shows. I've noticed a lot of obvious botches such as "Eric Bischoff: "Aren't you a funny guy. Ladies and gentleman, up next we are gonna see D'Lo Brown vs., LISTEN TO THIS, Bobby Lashley!"
