Elizabeth Savage : Well , it looks like you found us . Hello fans . I’m Elizabeth Savage back from vacation and with me the very familiar voice of BTW Sam Menekar. Sam it’s weird how things work out sometimes .
Sam : Yes it is , Elizabeth. There was supposed to be no home television for this event . It was supposed to be for fans only . The buzz was so big we had every streaming service in the country pounding on our door . Every network that didn’t have wrestling wanted to be part of it .

Sam : Yes it is Liz . Sandwiched before the main event is the World Heavyweight Title Match between The American Dream Dusty Rhodes who took a beating just a few days ago at the Open and a former North American Tag Team Champion Mike Awesome . And Elizabeth as you see the arena is empty right now . That’s because outside the MGM Grand there is another ring set up .
Liz : That’s our first main event . That’s right fans we are kicking off tonight’s show with one of our big three main events . A steel cage match between the North American Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund and the thorn in his side , The Vampire Fred Blassie. Let’s go there right now!!!
Steel Cage North American Heavyweight Title Bob Backlund vs Fred Blassie : Sam reminds the fans at home this is under walk out rules only . Now crawling out the door . No accidentally falling out the door . No climbing over the top . You must walk out under your own power . Backlund goes right at Blassie . He gets off a series of 5 German Suplexes releasing on the last one . Backlund rakes Blassie’s face in the cage and then lays in fist . He has grown to hate this man and it clearly shows . He chokes Blassie on the mat . Blassie in self defense gouges Backlund’s eyes and then rams his head into the cage . Blassie then bites Backlund in the forehead , busting him open.
Blassie rubs his face in the mat and then starts going for the Mandible Claw!! Backlund pushes himself off the mat and powers up . Huge bodyslam by Backlund . He falls to the mat . Sam and Liz speculate that maybe Blassie has already worn Backlund down . Blassie hits an elbow drop from the second rope right across the forehead . He pulls something out of his boot it appears to be a can opener . He now grinds the can opener into the cut . Blood is pouring out of the head of Backlund . Blassie now walks to the cage door . As the ref opens it , Backlund somehow wills himself off the mat . Release German Suplex by Backlund !!!
Backlund now finds this discarded can opener from Blassie’s fall and now he’s carving up Blassie . Sam and Liz say they have never seen this side of Backlund . Backlund with a slingshot into the cage ! Blassie staggers up , Crossface Chicken Wing by Backlund !!! Blassie lifts his foot and kicks Backlund in the balls . Blassie with a DDT . He’s back up again . He staggers toward the cage door . As it opens , it’s Backlund from behind again . Backlund trips Blassie up and now repeatedly smashes the cage door into Blassie’s head over and over again . Blassie falls to the mat unconscious. Backlund walks out of the cage and touches the floor . He retains the North American Heavyweight Title .
Sam : Elizabeth, Bob Backlund just showed why he’s been the North American Heavyweight Champion for so long .
Liz : Sam he’s ranked in the top 5 every month . How long before he gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Title?
Sam : Time will tell . I understand earlier today you caught up the Heritage Champion the Rock .
Liz : Yes I did he had a lot on his mind .
Sam : Let’s go to that footage now .
VTR :
Elizabeth: Rock, tonight you have a rematch with Bill Goldberg and once again the Heritage Championship is on the line .
Rock : Elizabeth Savage , The Rock beat Bill Goldberg’s monkey ass from one side of the ring to the other at The Open , but that old ass bitch Sherri Martel got it n the ring . Well , Scary Sherri you get in the Rock’s way tonight , you may get the people’s boot straight up your candy ass .
