Shooting Stars Wrestling #18

The screen is blank for a moment as we can here the fans chanting ‘S . . . S . . . W!!!! . . . S . . . S . . . W!!!!’ The screen comes up on a rowdy arena full of fans pumping their fists as strobe lights go off through the venue and the camera zooms in and out. Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan are at ringside.



Mike – ‘Hello everyone, and weeeeeeelcome to the ‘Next Chapter’ in the NWA . . . Shooting . . . Stars . . . Wrestling!!!! I am Mike Goldberg here with my broadcast partner Joe Rogan for what promises to be a wild night of the best wrestling action anywhere in the world!’

Joe – Mike, tonight we are going to see the first title defense of the SSW Pure Championship as ‘American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson puts the belt on the line against the man that he defeated for the championship, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle!’

Mike – ‘That is not all fans. After that thrilling 3 way dance last week, fans have been hitting our website all week asking for more. Well, tonight we are going to give it to you as we will have a rematch from last week as Kofi Kingston, Yoshihiro Tajiri, and Aaron ‘The Idol’ Stevens will go at it again! Plus we are also going to see the SSW tag teams champions in action tonight, and both John Cena and CM Punk are in the building tonight. Their match at NWA Live did nothing to settle the issues between these two, and we will hear from both within the program. So sit back and get ready fans, because . . . IT’S TIME!!!!’

Aaron ‘The Idol’ Stevens comes out with Beth Phoenix and says that he is not competing tonight. He is not going to risk getting himself hurt in such a ridiculous match! Idol leaves, and the match gets started as a 1 on 1 match between Kofi and Tajiri. After a few moments, ‘BAWITDABA’ by Kid Rock hits and out comes Kid Kash and Jamie Noble. Kash is on the mic and starts making fun of the ‘foreigners’ in the ring. Since this was supposed to be a 3 way dance, let’s give these ‘cheese heads’ what they want to see. Jamie Noble wants to be in the match and we have ourselves a 3 way dance again! The action is furious in this one, but Kid Kash tries to interfere and help out Noble. Kofi takes Kash out with a ‘Trouble in Paradise’ kick, but he falls victim to the Tiger Bomb by Noble. However, before Noble can get the 3 count, Tajiri breaks it up with a vicious buzzsaw kick to the face. Tajiri follows it up with another, and then plants both feet right in the face of Noble. Tajiri picks Noble up and plants him with a vicious branbuster and gets the 3 count!

Your winner . . . the ‘Japanese Buzzsaw’ Yoshihiro Tajiri!

In the Back, we see CM Punk with Joel Gertner. Punk says that he may have won the match against Cena at NWA Live, but things between them are far from over. He says that he accomplished everything he wanted to in that match, and that was to embarrass John Cena. He says that he is in Cena’s head, and he has his number. ‘Face it Cena, YOU . . . GOT . . . PUNK’D!’ Cena has played right into his hands, and he is the master of this little game they are playing. And when he is through toying with Cena he is going to move on to bigger and better things, like the Genesis title.

This is a very competitive match. La Resistance has tremendous heat with the crowd, insulting them at every turn.

Haas hits the ring and takes everyone out with suplexes, then he locks the ‘Haas of Pain’ on Sylvan, only to have it broken up by Renee. All four men are going at it now, but Shelton takes out Dupree with a vicious Dragon Whip Kick that sends him outside. Haas reverses Grenier into the ropes and catches him in a Fireman carry, and then he and Shelton hit the ‘Dominant Force’ for the win.

Here are your winners . . . Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, TEAM DOMINATION!

After the match, Shelton gets on the mic and says that Team; Domination wants a shot at the SSW tag titles. This brings out Paul London and Brian Kendrick, along with Mickie James. Mickie has the mic, and she screams at Haas & Benjamin. She asks why they think they deserve a shot? Gods of Gravity have proven they are the best by taking out everyone in their way, even the Motor City Machine Guns! London and Kendrick jerk the mic away from her, and scold her as if she has just let the cat out of the bag. While this is going on, ‘A Country Boy Can Survive’ by Hank Williams JR hits and out comes Kid Kash and Jamie Noble! They want in on the action because they are no one wants to fight a country boy!

Shane McMahon’s music hits, and the GM comes out to the ring. Shane says that his eyes have been opened tonight, and he has made a decision. Next week they are going to have a 4 corner survival match to determine who will face the SSW tag team champions. It will be Team: Domination vs. Gods of Gravity vs. Trailer Park Trash vs. a 4th team. Kash tells Shane not to call them ‘Trailer Park Trash’, but London wants to know who the 4th team is going to be. Shane tells him that he will find out next week.

In the back, John Cena is sitting in the locker room with a towel over his head. Cena talks, but never raises his head from staring at the floor. He says that Punk is right, he is in his head. But that is a dangerous place to be. This thing between them goes far beyond being a game. Now it’s personal. He promises Punk that this is the last time he will be ‘Punk’d’ and next time the shoe is going to be on the other foot.

We come back to live action and Lance Storm is already in the ring. Storm asks if he can be serious for a minute, then he talks about how the last time he was on TV was when he was being robbed in the Pure title tournament by everyone’s ‘American Hero’ Kurt Angle. He says that people look up to Angle and all he does is teach them to cheat. That is what is wrong with America today. Well, he is out here tonight because he is tired of being held back. He is officially challenging the winner of tonight’s main event to put the Pure title on the line against the best technical wrestler in SSW . . . Lance Storm. Storm says that he is not leaving until he gets an opponent out here tonight! ‘HIGHWAY TO HELL’ by ACDC hits and out comes little Spike Dudley!!!!

Vs.

Spike Dudley

Storm attacks Spike as he slides in, and hammers him with rights. Spike fights back, hitting a tilt-a-whirl head scissors and then a tornado DDT. Storm bails out, but Spike flies off the top with a body press to Storm on the outside of the ring. Spike drops him across the railing, then gives him a double stomp on the back. Storm fights back, reversing a whip and sending Spike over the railing into the crowd. Storm tosses him into the ring and hits a perfect standing dropkick.

Mike – ‘There it was fans, the best damn drop kick in wrestling!’

Joe – ‘Man, you said it. Storm is right up there with AJ Styles and Hardcore Holly in throwing drop kicks. He is one of the best pure athletes in the entire NWA!’

Storm continues the punishment on Spike, hitting a super-plex off the top rope. Spike reverses a whip into the corner and goes for the ‘battering ram’, but Storm cuts him off with a knee lift, then hits a super kick that lays Spike out. He picks Spike up and hits a ‘Deep Impact’ piledriver, then locks the unconscious Spike in the Canadian Maple Leaf. Spike is out, and the ref raises his hand and then calls for the bell.

Here is your winner . . . Lance Storm

‘WAR MACHINE’ by KISS hits and out comes the ‘Human Suplex Machine’ Taz!!!! Taz demands to know where Owen is, but Storm says he isn’t here. Taz says that Owen is not here this week because he is scared of Taz. That is why he had all of his faggot Hart Foundation cronies jump him last week, because he was about to tap out. Storm tells Taz not to blame Canada . . . blame himself! Taz tells Storm that he has a message that he wants him to give Owen. Taz attacks Storm, laying him out with the ‘Brooklyn Boot’. He goes outside and gets a table, then sets it up in the corner, then drives Storm through it with a Dragon Taz-plex! Taz locks in the Taz-mission and chokes Storm out!!!! Finally he lets go, but he grabs a mic and tells Storm to take that message to Owen Hart with this in mind: ‘I’m Taz, the Human Suplex Machine! Beat me if you can . . . SURVIVE if I let you!!!!’

Angle – ‘Tonight is the night that Team: Domination claims its rightful spot in SSW. And it happens with Kurt Angle, your Olympic hero, getting back what is rightfully his. Oh sure, Bryan Danielson is a good wrestler. I would say he’s the 4th best in SSW behind myself and the rest of Team: Domination. But Danielson, you’re not the best. How many gold medals have you won? That’s right . . . NONE! So really, you are not even in my league. The fact that you hold that belt right now is a travesty. But I am going to remedy that little problem tonight when I beat your ass in the middle of the ring. Oh, it’s true . . . IT’S DAMN TRUE!!!!’

This is a good match with surprisingly no outside interference from the rest of the Hart Foundation. Several times it looks as if the FBI might pull out the win, but one of the Harts is always there to bail the other on out. After a few minutes of back and forth action, Guido is sent outside and Teddy hits a spectacular twisting senton onto both Mamaluke and Guido on the outside. Teddy tosses Mamaluke back in, and Harry picks him up in a power bomb while Teddy climbs to the top as well. The Hart Foundation hit the ‘Hart Attack 2.0’ (Power Bomb by Smith + springboard Blockbuster by Teddy) on Mamaluke for the win.

Here are your winners . . . the SSW tag team champions . . . The Hart Foundation!!!!

After the match, Team: Domination comes out at the top of the ramp to stare the Hart Foundation down. They point at the tag titles and make the motion around their waste, but out come the Gods of Gravity from behind and attack them! The two teams brawl, and out come Kid Kash and Jamie Noble to get involved as the Harts just watch on and laugh. Next week we find out who the No. 1 contenders to the tag titles are!

Dragon – ‘Kurt Angle. I will give the devil his due. You are without a doubt the toughest man I have ever been in the ring with. But I lost a little bit of respect for you last week. You see, a great athlete like yourself shouldn’t have to come out and whine and cry about not being a champion. You go out and prove you are a champion, just like I did when I beat you at Wrestle War. This belt right here proves that I am the best in the world. And if me knocking you unconscious at Wrestle War didn’t convince you, I promise after tonight there will be no doubt who the better wrestler is, gold medals or not. And you’re looking at him.’

Mike – ‘Fans, that match is coming up NEXT!!!! Don’t go away!’

Danielson and Angle meet in the middle of the ring and offer one another a hand shake before the match starts. Once the bell rings, both men are all business. They spend the first few moments feeling each other out, exchanging basic holds and reversals. Angle is the first to score big when he backs Danielson into the ropes and rocks him with a hard European uppercut. Danielson is takes several more shots and is whipped to the corner, but he gets a foot up in the face of Angle. Danielson nails a diving European uppercut off the ropes and returns with a flurry of his own, downing Angle with a roaring forearm smash. Danielson grounds Angle, but he fights up and drops Danielson with a back suplex. Angle goes to work on the leg of Danielson, softening him up for the ankle lock. Danielson manages to fight out of it, using a rope break in the process. Danielson fights back with hard strikes that stagger Angle, then he takes him out with a missile drop kick off the top rope! Danielson manages to lock on the Cattle Mutilation, forcing Angle to the ropes to break it. Angle and Danielson get face to face in the middle of the ring again, and this time Angle pulls the straps down and then slaps Danielson right in the face!!!! Danielson responds, and the two men stand there toe to toe exchanging blows. Angle dodges a lariat by Danielson and hits a belly to belly suplex, then goes for an Olympic Slam, but Danielson reverses it into a tornado DDT. Danielson goes up top, but misses the diving headbutt and Angle pops back up and hits the Angle Slam out of nowhere!!!! Both men are down, but Angle finally lays an arm across Danielson for the 1 . . . 2 . . . NOOOOO! Danielson kicks out. Angle is back up, and he puts the straps on but then pulls them down again. He goes for the Ankle lock, but Danielson rolls forward and slings Angle face-first into the turnbuckle. REGAL PLEX by Danielson!!!! 1 . . . 2 . . . NOOOOOO! Angle kicks out this time. As soon as Angle kicks out, Danielson goes right into the MMA elbow strikes to the side of Angle’s head!!!!

Mike – ‘This is how he beat Angle at Wrestle War!!!!’

Joe – ‘Angle has to keep working! He can’t stay in this position for very long!’

Angle holds on, working his way up and out of the hold and then planting Danielson with a German Suplex! Both men are down again, and the camera catches Lance Storm coming out to the ring to observe the match. Both men lay there exhausted as the refs count reaches 8, but they get up and start going toe to toe again. They trade blows, and Danielson takes a hard European uppercut from Angle and lets out a blood-curdling roar. He goes for a heavy strike that Angle ducks, and he drops him in another German Suplex. This time Danielson no-sells it and pops right back up, turning Angle inside out with a vicious lariat!!!! Danielson scoops Angle up in the ‘airplane spin of doom’, and then hits a ridiculous amount of rotations before tossing Angle off. Danielson makes the cover, but Angle has one rope break left and manages to get his foot on the rope. However, Lance Storm walks by and pushes Angle’s foot off of the bottom rope and the ref doesn’t see it. Meanwhile, the ref counts . . . 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen . . . here is your winner . . . and STILL SSW Pure Champion. ‘American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson!!!!

Danielson looks at Lance Storm and realizes what has happened and he pulls his hand down. He points to the ref and tells him what has happened, but the decision is final. Storm gets in the ring and he and Danielson start fighting, but Angle is back up and he attacks Storm!!!! Storm flees from the ring, but then Angle turns and lays out Danielson with the Olympic Slam!!!! The show ends with Danielson still the champion, but Kurt Angle standing tall over everyone.
