Gordon : Hello and welcome to Territory Wars The Road To Starrcade . As you heard from Chicago’s very own John C Riley , we have quite the line up . In speaking of which every wrestling card is subject to change and we have changes tonight .
The Triple Threat Tag Team Match between the Impact Players , Youngbucks and Ole and Nick Bockwinkle has been changed as both Ole and Nick are now refusing to tag together. However the Bay Area Bad Boys of Ray Stevens and Pat Patterson have agreed to step in .
Then ironically our other Triple Threat Match for the NWA World Television Title has changed as well . Bobby Lashley has been hospitalized after a viscous attack by one Bruiser Brody , so Mr . Adams has agreed to put his title on the line against one half of the new WWF Tag Team Champions Dr. Death Steve Williams . I am told that Steve Williams partner Ted Dibiase and their manager have both been barred from ringside by Jim Crockett and the NWA for this match . Right now however let’s kick things off live here from All State Arena . Chris Benoit the New Japan Pro Wrestling Super J Cup Champion putting that belt on the line against Sammy Zayne .
NJPW Super J Championship Chris Benoit vs Sammy Zayne : The two men lock up .Sami gets wrist control and takes Benoit to the mat . From there he transitions into a hammerlock . Benoit works his way back up reaches back , works his way out of the hood and into a hammerlock of his own . Sami gets to the ropes for the break . Benoit fires a chop into the chest . Sami returns . The two exchange chops and then strong style type forearms that delight the crowd . Sami though scores with a roaring elbow that puts his man on the mat .
Sami now lifts Benoit and gets off a running Powerbomb. He covers 1……..2…….Noooooo !Benoit gets a foot on the ropes . Sami pulls his man up and puts him in the corner , he goes for a Helluva , but Benoit moves !!! Sami hits hard . Benoit with 5 rolling Germans , releasing on the last one . Sami staggers up , snap Suplex by Benoit . Benoit goes up top …… Falling Headbutt misses . Over the head belly to belly by Sami!!! Exploder Suplex by Sami . Sami calls for the Koji Clutch , but Benoit reverses it into a Crippler Crossface !!! Sami has nowhere to go and taps out !!!
Gordon : What a match . The two Canadian born athletes are now shaking hands . A rarity in this sport . We’ll be back .

Break
Gordon : Right now I want to bring in …..
Bryan Danielson : Cut the crap Solie !!
Gordon : Excuse me young man you are not scheduled on this card . This is not the time nor the …..
Danielson : Shut up old man !!! ( shoves Gordon and takes the mic )
I’m tired of being screwed by the NWA , Chris Jericho and now you Jay White . I want a piece of your ass . Get out here and I’ll kick your fucking head in !!! ( bleeped out on a seven second delay )
Before anything else happens Tiger Mask comes out and shelters Gordon . He points at Danielson and then out comes Jay White and the rest of the Bullet Club . Tiger rushes off Gordon . Vince McMahon comes and calls the match .
White : You know Vince I could use a warm up before Starrcade . Danielson you’re on . Chris Jerhico , I hope you’re watching because what happens here is exactly what’s gonna happen at Starrcade .
Before the bell, referee threw out the Bullet Club, before Juice Robinson tried to make a plea bargain. He got to stay and hug the ring post. At the bell, White powders outside, before we started with a tie-up in the ropes… which led to shenanigans as White tried to kick Danielson in the ankle, before Juice got involved… and got thrown out!!!
They discuss on commentary that it doesnt get any bigger than this...... the #1 contender against the #2 contender to the NWA Super Juniors title. Danielson throws a protesting White back into the ring and went for a moonsault, but got hung in the ropes by Jay, who made a beeline for Danielsons leg, wrapping it around the guard rails before he took Danielson into the ring… using the ring post to up the ante. From there, White uses a simple suplex to keep Danielson down, before a Dragon screw into the mat got him a pinning attempt.
Suplex into the corner keeps Danielson down, before a ‘rana attempt was pushed down with Danielson still unable to get into any kind of gear. He lands an enziguiri to stop White in the corner, before a slam and a single-legged moonsault followed for a two-count as Danielson was determined to stick to his regular game. A kick and a standing moonsault proves that some more, before a standing moonsault kneedrop saw Danielson crash and burn.
White follows in with a DDT, but doesn’t go for a pin, instead taking Danielson into the corner to jar the knee again, before the Bladebuster spin-out suplex led to a near-fall. An attempted chop block from White’s countered as Danielson leapt over him… and came down with a double stomp! Just like that though, a Complete Shot and a German suplex rocked Danielson.
White takes Danielson up top for a superplex, raking the eyes to end the resistance as he sent Danielson crashing down to the mat. Somehow, Danielson looked to come back in spiking White with the package tombstone, as the pair resort to throwing elbows at each other as they were on the mat. A lariat from White just rules up Danielson … but he runs into a uranage as White looked to put him away with a Kiwi Krusher… only to get a near-fall out of it.
A nonchalant Blade Runner looks next, but Danielson rolled through and dropped White with a sleeper suplex. Ref bump next as White throws Danieldon into the referee before a low blow… and here comes the shenanigans. First comes Juice Robinson, as he brought in a chair that White used to focus on Danielso s leg, leading to the TTO as the referee’s rolled back in, just in time… only for Danielson to claw his way towards the rope for the eventual forced break.
Juices playing hide and seek to avoid being seen, as White played dumb. Even dumber once he got caught with a backflip kick from Danielson. The lawn dart into the corner follows, before Danielson tried to lift White on the apron for a deadlift German suplex… and scored it for a two-count! White tries to slap Danielsin but Bryan just swings back, taking White into the corner as he shadowboxed, dropping White back to the mat as Danirlson was looking to be indestructible. Until White went back to the leg with a Dragon screw…
Danielson shrugs it off to come back with a Last Ride before White… pancaked to avoid a Bomaye. Of course, checking on White is a moot point, as it just proved to be a distraction so Juice could try and use the knuckles. He’s caught by Danielson, who White tries to drop with a sleeper suplex… only to put him into the ropes as Danielson rebounded with the flying knee regardless. The referee gets security to drag Juice out of the ring, as a second Bomaye nearly wins it.
White kicks away the leg as Danielson looked for a Bomaye, eventually scoring with a slow-motion headkick. A second one’s got more oomph behind it, before a Kamigoye’s turned into a Blade Runner… with Danielson falling just too far away for White to make a pin on. From there, White looked for a brainbuster, but Danielson reverses the wrist control and headbutts White to the mat before the strait-jacket German rolled through into… a sleeper suplex as White countered in the nick of time!
A second one spikes Danielsin again, as does a cross-arm brainbuster as the tension rose. Standing Kamigoyes drop Danielson, before a BLADE RUNNER by White anded flush for the victory!
Vince : An impromptu match . What a win for Jay White now ….
Tiger Mask reenters .
Tiger : Excuse me Mr . McMahon . I don’t talk much , mostly because how hard it is to communicate with Americans because of our language barrier. Tonight Bryan Danielson, you stepped over the line . Gordon Solie is a good man . He’s good to every person here in the WWF . On cards where we have to work Sundays sometimes he has his wife cater us . WWF we may fight with each other. That’s why there are to separate locker rooms, but we also police are own as I believe Tommy Rich said to me once . Starrcade , I want you one on one. I’m going to show you , you don’t push around a good man like Gordon Solie .

Gordon : Ok , welcome back . I want to thank Mr . McMahon for filling in for me . I assure you fans I’m fine . The doctors had to make sure of that . This isn’t the first time I’ve been shoved around and I promise you it won’t be the last . Pro wrestling is a very violent and emotional sport. We as announcers all experience this from time to time . I’ve been shoved by much bigger and stronger men than Mr . Danielson including my next guess I’m about to bring in the now former one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions Jerry Blackwell .
Blackwell : Gordon , I’m sorry me and Kenny did that . I saw what happened out here . You ain’t a wrestler . That man could have hurt you . Anyway let’s move on . No your key word there you said wasn’t former , what I did to Buddy Roberts last week I would gladly do it again and give up them there belts . Kenny is family . This goes deeper than tag team titles . The words you said that hurt though was one half . I hate only being one half , so let’s change that .
Patera walks out and the United Center explodes . He hugs Gordon and shakes the hand of Gordon .
Patera : Right now I can promise you Michael Hayes and Terry Gordy are sitting at a bar somewhere swilling down some Jack Daniels and pissing themselves . You boys didn’t get the job done . My neck and shoulders are well defined and I was protected because of the muscle build up . I’m not the average man boys . Freebirds . Starrcade in just 8 days those get ready to kiss those NWA World Tag Team Titles goodbye . Oh and to prove I’m fine. I brought you a present Gordon . Merry Christmas .
Gordon : A steel rod ? It’s rather heavy . Like holding a pistol type weight to it . I’d this to protect myself ? I mean thank you , but it’s rather awkward to swing .
Ken : Nah Gordon . We got a whole bunch of boys in the back that will protect you . This is my way of apologizing. Take it home , hang it on your wall as a decorative piece. Just bend it into a U shape .
Gordon : Um , I seem to be having difficulty Mr . Patera .
Patera places a towel over the back of his own neck .
Patera : Let me handle this for you Gordon .
Gordon : ( Smiling) I now see where this is going . Here you go sir .
He hands the rod back to Patera . He puts it on the back of his neck and bends it with ease . Patera hands it back to Gordon .
Blackwell : Wooo woooo , would you look at that . Hayes , Gordy this man is gonna bend you in half at Starrcade and then I’m gonna break ya the rest of the way and we will be new NWA World Tag Team Champions .Merry Christmas boys . Hahahaha .
