[center]Live from the Kohl Center on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin . . . this is . . .



SHOOTING . . .STARS . . . WRESTLING!!!!


The opening SSW promo airs to ‘MILLIONAIRE’ by Queens of the Stone Age

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.


‘HERE COMES THE MONEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY! HERE COMES THE MONEY!’ hits and out comes none other than the GM of SSW, Shane McMahon to kick off the show. Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan are at the announce desk, and say that they were informed before the show came on the air that Shane has a major announcement concerning the Great American Bash coming up in the month of July. Rumors have been circulating for weeks now about SSW’S involvement with the Bash this year, and Shane is out here to clarify that a little bit!

Shane grabs a mic as the fans chant ‘Shane-o-mac! Shane-o-mac!’ He addresses the rumors about SSW and the Bash, saying that he is there to make it official. On July 4th, SSW will be the host of the Great American Bash national broadcast! He talks about what an honor it is to be chosen, and says that he is negotiating right now to make sure every world champion appears on the show. But tonight he is going to announce the first big match that has been signed for the show . . .

Shane gets interrupted as the Hart Foundations music hits and out comes Owen Hart along with Lance Storm and the SSW tag team champions Harry Smith and Teddy Hart. They are trailed by Jimmy Hart and Nattie Neidhart. Owen comes out and takes the mic away from Shane, saying that the longest reigning singles champion in the NWA gets seniority on the microphone. Owen says that he knows that the NWA World title is set to be defended on EVERY Bash show, and he is going to be the one that will be facing Shawn Michaels for the title on the 4th of July. And when he wins the belt and takes it home to Calgary, they will rename July 4th ‘Owen Hart Day’ here in SSW because he is the best wrestler in the world!

‘SELF ESTEEM (AMERICAN INTRO)’ by The Offspring hits and out comes the SSW Pure Wrestling Champion . . . ‘American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson!!!! Danielson says that Owen Hart is not the only singles champion here in SSW and, unlike Owen, Danielson does not hide behind a group of thugs. Running your mouth does not make you the best in the world . . . winning matches does. Owen scoffs at Danielson, telling him that he is not even in his league. Shane jerks the mic away from Owen and says that the 2 of them have given him an idea. So next week, right here on TV it is going to be a champion vs. champion match. No titles on the line, but what will be is the right to challenge the NWA world heavyweight champion in the main event on July 4th! Danielson smiles, and seems happy with this decision, but Owen is clearly throwing a fit in the ring as we go to break.

Break

IN THE BACK: Owen is throwing a fit with the rest of the Hart Foundation around. It is not fair that he has to beat Danielson to earn a shot at the World Heavyweight title! He looks at Teddy and Harry and tells him that it is up to them to take this night back for the Hart Foundation. They better not fail and better come back to the locker room still wearing the SSW tag team titles!

Yoshihiro Tajiri
vs.
Kofi Kingston

These two put on a very good back and forth match. During the contest Mike and Joe continue to talk about the recent change in Tajiri, saying he went from being cheered by the fans for his performance in the ring to being booed because of his actions outside of it. They talk about Owen Hart paying Tajiri to take Taz out a couple of weeks back, and that they haven’t seen him since. Kofi unleashes his arsenal of moves and looks like he has the win after hitting the ‘Trouble in Paradise’, but Tajiri is too close to the ropes and he gets a foot on them to break the pin. Kofi goes for a running Liger Bomb, but Tajiri breaks it up by spraying the mist in Kofi’s face!!!! Kofi is blinded, and he falls victim to the ‘Buzzsaw’ kicking combo by Tajiri, who finishes him off with a vicious brainbuster for the pin!

Here is your winner . . . the ‘Japanese Buzzsaw’ Yoshihiro Tajiri

Break

John Cena promo. Tonight he gets what he wants, and that is another chance to prove that he is the better man. He talks about how this issue between them has become personal, and he has tunnel vision for their match tonight. All he is thinking about is Punk . . . 24/7. No way he is getting Punk’d again, and he is gonna take Punk out tonight, Thug-a-nomics style!

SSW Tag Team Title Match
(Champions) The Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart & Harry Smith)
vs.
Trailer Park Trash (Kid Kash & Jamie Noble)

Joe and Mike talk about the roll that TPT has been on as of late, defying the odds to win the 4 corners match 2 weeks ago, then beating the Gods of Gravity last week. The match gets underway, and both teams try to see who can ‘out-heel’ the other with their tactics. Kid Kash and Noble find themselves being cheered by the fans against the hated Harts, and they don’t like it one bit! For most of the match, Noble gets isolated by the Foundation but he manages to make the hot tag to Kash, who lights the world on fire. Kash takes out Teddy with a springboard clothesline, then does a triple jump huricanrana on Teddy. He picks Teddy up and hits the ‘Money Clip’ (brainbuster onto the knee), but Harry breaks it up. Harry goes for the running powerslam on Kash, but Noble breaks it up this time and Kash and Noble hit a springboard Doomsday Device! All four men are going at it, and the action spills to the outside of the ring. Nattie Neidhart grabs one of the tag belts from the announce table and gets on the apron, but Kash grabs her by the hair and she manages to toss the belt to Harry behind the refs back. Kash turns around and Harry KO’S him with the title, but Noble breaks it up. Noble hits a tornado DDT on Harry and goes straight into the front guillotine choke, while Teddy climbs up and hits a Phoenix Splash on Kid Kash! Harry taps out from the hold as the ref counts 3 on Kash, and the bell rings! Both teams raise their hands as if they have won the match, but the ref awards the match to the champions due to Kash and Teddy being the legal men in the match.

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

A promo airs for the Great American Bash. SSW will host the Bash live on national TV on the 4th of July from the home of the Cleveland Indians. Special musical guest will AFI. Tickets are on sale now!!!!

Break

CM Punk promo. Punk calls Cena ‘pathetic’ for thinking about nothing but CM Punk all the time. Meanwhile, Punk has his eyes on bigger and better things, like the SSW Genesis title or even the NWA World title! You see, Punk craves the competition, and that is something that Cena cannot give him. And after tonight, when he proves that he is the better man, there won’t be any handshakes or high-fives. The only thing there will be is Cena’s hand tapping on the mat. And then Cena will know that he is Straight-Edge, and that means that he is just simply better than ‘You’!

North American Women’s title match:
(Champion) Victoria
vs.
Beth Phoenix

Idol tries to pump Beth up before the match gets started, but it is obvious that he is not interested in the match. The ref has trouble keeping order in this one from the start as both women start brawling, and Beth gets the advantage by hitting a snap powerslam. Victoria comes back by hitting the Spider’s Web, but a large part of the crowd are behind Beth rather than Victoria. Idol seems annoyed by this. The match is hotly contested, with Beth getting out of the ‘Widows Peak’ and Victoria narrowly avoiding the ‘Beth Valley Driver’. Beth regains the advantage, but for some reason Idol gets on the apron to distract the ref. Beth picks Victoria up for the Fisherman Buster, but she hits Idol, causing her to drop Victoria. Victoria holds on, rolling Beth up in a small package for the pinfall

Here is your winner . . . and STILL women’s champion . . . Victoria

After the match, Idol tries to intimidate Victoria and she slaps him. It looks like Idol might go after her but suddenly Brent Albright hits the ring to make the save. This leads into . . .

Aaron ‘The Idol’ Stevens
Vs.
‘Shooter’ Brent Albright

This impromptu match doesn’t last very long. Idol rakes the eyes to gain the early advantage, but Albright turns the tide by hitting a number of suplex variations on Idol. Beth tries to interfere on Idol’s behalf, but Albright ducks and she slaps Idol instead. Idol is distracted arguing with Beth, and Albright hooks him from behind and drops him on his head with a sick-looking half-nelson suplex for the pin!

And your winner . . . ‘The Shooter’ . . . Brent Albright!

Beth tries to help Idol to the back as he is clutching his head and neck

A visual shows both Punk and Cena leaving their locker rooms for the main event up next!

Break

IN THE BACK . . . Team Domination cuts a promo about their recent run-ins with the Hart Foundation. Kurt says that Lance Storm made the mistake of getting in his business, and he is tired of hearing them come out and dog America. The land where they make their living. Kurt says that the Hart Foundation think they are better than Americans, and Team Domination may be ‘Americans’, but they are very proud Americans and they are going to whip their Canadian asses!

Epic Encounter Part II

John Cena
Vs.
CM Punk

Punk taunts Cena before the match, then bails out when Cena goes after him. Punk keeps going to the ropes to break the momentum, further frustrating Cena. Finally, Cena shoves the ref out of the way and he and Punk start going toe to toe as the match gets underway. Cena gets the better of the slugfest, but Punk lands a head kick to Cena and then hits a swinging neckbreaker. Punk gets a quick 2 count and then locks Cena in a surfboard, slapping him in the back of the head. This pisses Cena off, and he fights Punk off and catches him in a powerslam off the ropes. He levels Punk with clotheslines and shoulder blocks, but Punk ducks a charge and Cena spills over the top rope to the floor. Punk gets a running start and flies through the ropes with a suicide dive!!!! Both men are down on the outside, and we have to take a break . . .

Break

Back from the break, Punk has Cena grounded in a neck vise. The crowd is rallying behind Cena, but Punk has his followers as well. Cena fights to his feet, breaking the hold. Punk whips Cena off the ropes and tries for a drop kick, but Cena catches him and turns it into a powerbomb! Cena is in control now, and he hits a fisherman suplex on Punk for a 2 count! He turns on the pressure, kicking Punk in the gut and then hitting the throwback (somersault bulldog). Cena is fired up now, and he scoops Punk up for the F-U but Punk counters with elbow strikes to the head. Cena is dazed, and Punk catches him with a kick to the gut and then hits the ‘Welcome to Chicago’ (butterfly backbreaker). Both men are down for a minute, but Cena is up first and he scoops Punk up and hits a backbreaker. He holds on and tries to do it again, but Punk counters and hits the ‘Pepsi Twist’. Punk goes out to the apron then hits Cena with a springboard clothesline. Punk lets out a yell, and he is fired up. Cena gets to his feet and Punk hammers him with open hand shots followed by a spinning back-fist. He tosses Cena into the corner and hits the kitchen sink knee to the face, but when he goes for the bulldog out of the corner Cena blocks it and hits the ‘Proto-plex’ instead!!!! Cena pops up and raises his hand to the crowd . . . YOU CAN’T SEE ME!!!! . . . Cena hits the ropes and nails the 5 knuckle shuffle on Punk and covers. 1 . . . 2 . . . NOOOOO! Punk kicks out. Cena goes for another F-U, but Punk grabs onto the ropes to block it. Cena tries to pull him off but Punk holds on and finally Cena just dumps him over the top rope to the floor!!!! Cena follows him out, and the two start fighting on the outside as the ref starts his count. As the ref nears 10, both men try to make it back in the ring but Cena slides in first. Punk grabs his leg and tries to stop him, but Cena kicks Punk off and sends him crashing into the announce table. Punk hits his head, and Cena slides back in, beating the count.

Here is your winner . . . via countout . . . John Cena!!!!

The ref raises Cena’s hand, but he pulls it down. He wants no part of a countout victory. Punk gets up on the outside holding his head, but Cena gets on the mic and calls Punk back to the ring. He tells him to come back and ‘Let’s finish this!’ Punk looks to the crowd for approval, and they are on their feet chanting ‘5 more minutes!’ Punk acts like he is going to get back in the ring, but then he turns and heads toward the locker room, drawing boos from the crowd. Joe and Mike talk about how nothing was really settled between these two tonight as Punk stops at the top of the ramp. He and Cena stare each other down as the show ends.
