PRESENT . . .
THE WEST REGIONAL – ROUND 2
Live from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NevadaThe show opens with a shot of the IWL announce team. Behind Michale Cole & Hugo Savinovich we can see the arena with the house lights up. Ushers are helping the fans find their seats as Cole & Hugo welcome us to the show. Cole says that it's great to be back on TV and Hugo talks about the importance of this event to the UWF, but specifically to the IWL. He says that being picked by the UWF Board of Governors to be a host site in this tournament gave us the leverage to negotiate a new TV deal.
Cole: "And fans, Main Event Sports returns to MyNetwork TV on December 22nd with a 'Best of 2009' show. Go to IWL.com for more details. And while you're there, be sure to check for the latest info on IWL Live events, including a New Year's Day show in Tucson."
While Cole & Hugo are talking, we get more shots of the arena. The box office is shown with a large "SOLD OUT" sign as some non-ticket holding fans hold fingers into the air, hoping to get inside for this historic event. The cameras take us back inside the International Hotel & Casino where we see wrestling fans talking and playing slot machines. The shot lingers on a fan in a CM Punk shirt talking with a fan in a Jushin Liger shirt. Cole & Hugo talk about the blockbuster matches that the tournament has already created. The cameras pan the arena again and we can see that the seats are filling up quickly.
Cole: "Fans, don't go away. We're just moments away from the beginning of a night of great UWF action."
COMMERCIAL BREAK We come back with a video package set to the Main Event Sports theme song, High On Fire's "Rumors of War." Instead of IWL highlights, the video recaps the King of the Ring West Regional 1st Round matches. Curt Hennig pins Bob Armstrong with a Perfect Plex, Matt Morgan hits the Hell-evator to beat Brayden Walker, Samoa Joe chokes out Adrian Adonis with the Coquina Clutch to advance, Raven scores with an Evenflow DDT for the win over Rhino, and we get several clips from the war between Bruiser Brody and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, ending with a high knee smash from Brody and a 3-count. After the video we cut to the ringside announce position where Cole & Hugo welcome us to the 2nd Round of the King of the Ring. Cole puts over that tonight four men will take one step closer to the Main Event at WrestleMania. Hugo talks about the tournament so far and mentions that the IWL went 4-0 in the First Round. Cole says that only 1 of those 4 is in the West Region, then Hugo talks about Jushin Liger and his match with CM Punk tonight. They briefly run through the other KOTR matches tonight, then Cole says that one of the great things about hosting this event is the spotlight that it shines on the IWL.
Hugo: "That's right, Michael. In fact, we're kicking things off tonight with two IWL matches. Our first match will feature two of the top Six Man teams in the world, as La Parka's New Latino Nightmare takes on Jillian Hall Productions. These teams have both been ranked for..."
Cole: "Partner, I hate to cut you off but we need to send it up to the ring where Mariah Carey has already begun tonight's announcements."
Mariah: "...and all matches are sanctioned by the Universal Wrestling Federation, Paul Bosch presiding. Our first contest will be contested under lucha del trios rules. In the corner to my right Jillian Hall presents the team of Mark Henry, Jay Lethal and Shiima Xion - JILLIAN HALL PRODUCTIONS! Their opponents are former UWF World Six Man Champions. Under the tutelage of La Parka, please welcome Mistico, Psichosis, and Juventud Guerrera - La Nueva Pesadilla Latino - THE NEW LATINO NIGHTMARE!"
First Match: The New Latino Nightmare v Jillian Hall Productions Lethal and Juvi start the match with a chain wrestling exchange that neither man can gain an advantage from. Cole & Hugo put over that, while these teams have both been considered among the best Six Man teams in the World, they have rarely faced each other. Jillian's guys don't seem to understand the lucha del trios format and the Latino's are taking advantage, rolling out of the ring instead of tagging to keep JHP confused. Jillian argues with the referee while Lethal is trapped in the ring for a long time. Jay finally tags in Shiima, but Mistico catches him with a drop toe hold and the Nightmare retains control of the match as we head to
COMMERCIAL BREAK As we come back from break, Cole & Hugo explain that Mark Henry has taken over the match during the commercial. The Latinos are still working in and out of the match, but they can't seem to get much offense in against the World's Strongest Man. Finally La Parka distracts the referee while Mistico & Psichosis hit a double dropkick that sends Henry out of the ring. Mistico lines up Mark for a tope suicida, but Henry catches him. Mark laughs and lifts Mistico up for the World's Strongest Slam on the floor, but Psichosis hits a springboard plancha that takes Henry to the cement with Mistico and Pshichosis on top of him. Back in the ring, Juvi and Lethal are going toe to toe. Guerrera gains the advantage and pulls Lethal in for a Juvi Driver that gets a 2 count. Juventud goes up top for a 450 splash, but Lethal rolls out of the ring and El Jugo crashes to the mat. Shiima comes in as the legal man and takes Juvi down with a Filipino Destroyer (reverse snapmare driver) and gets the pinfall!
COMMERCIAL BREAK We come back from the break with a shot of Curt Hennig getting ready for his match with Matt Morgan. Cole & Hugo talk about how Hennig seems to be the guy that nobody is talking about. Hugo says that makes Hennig especially dangerous because his sources tell him that Curt secretly relishes the underdog role. Cole throws it to the ring where Mariah makes the usual introductions for our next match.
Second Match UWF World Women's Champion Trish Stratus v Ashley Masarro (Non-Title) Before the match can begin, Ashley rolls to the outside and confronts a ringside fan that is holding a sign that reads "Ashley Worked My Bachelor Party." She seems to be telling him off but the cameras catch her slipping a business card to the fan before turning her attention back to the ring. Trish has been watching and laughing in the ring, and Ashley acts insulted that Trish is laughing at her. Masarro slaps the ring apron, then points at Trish and says something about making her pay. The Women's Champion just laughs and says "I hear that's what you tell all the guys", then sits on the middle rope to invite Ashley back into the ring. Masarro declines, then yells at the referee to make Trish back off so she can enter the ring without Trish cheap-shotting her. Stratus rolls her eyes and shakes her head as she backs away and Ashley slides under the ropes. Masarro tests the ropes, then rolls her shoulders to get ready to grapple. Ashley goes for a collar and elbow but has her left arm too low. Trish spots the opening and hits a Chick Kick that nearly takes Ashley's head off. Masarro crashes to the mat face first and lays motionless while the referee backs Trish away, then calls for the bell giving Stratus the KO victory.

Third Match King of the Ring 2nd Round (3) Raven (RWA) vs. (6) Cactus Jack (XWA)Jack stands looking at Raven, who sits slumped in the corner. Raven signals for a mic.
Raven- For far too long, my destiny has been denied. People and politics stood in my way. When I was a child, my parents constantly told me I would never amount to anything. Cast aside as the black sheep, family life continued without me. But I proved them all wrong. Now here I am, a former world champion. A goal long over due, the time once again has arrived. Not long ago, I set my sights on that goal. But something stopped me. A friend in need. A man such as I has but only a few friends. And when they are in need, I am there. You see, a darkness had risen. It was a darkness the wrestling world had never seen. A plague had washed over a once powerful wrestling alliance, shaking its very foundations and bringing it to its knees and ultimately, playing a major role in its end. To fight this darkness, one must understand the darkness. Cactus Jack, it was you that sought my help. And I put my goals aside to help you to end that which cast its dark shadow over the wrestling world. Now, my quest begins anew. Last week, Rhino became the first casualty. This week....Jack. Tw men have entered this ring. Only one will emerge victorious. We are warriors cut from the same cloth. And if we are to do this right, it will be done our way. I propose we contest this match under Raven's Rules....no disqualification.’

COMMERCIAL BREAK Cole & Hugo welcome us back from the break. Hugo talks about the brutal match we just witnessed between Joe and Brody, when out of nowhere, The American Warriors arrive at the announce position. Cole says they aren't on his format sheet and asks what they're doing out here.
Karl Anderson: "What we're doing is exercising our 1st Amendment right to Free Speech, you little twerp. You see, the American Warriors are sick of sitting in the background. This is one of the biggest nights in IWL history, and who does the Board of Directors put on the show? Not me and Big Jim here, but a bunch of Mexicans, Jillian Hall's freak show, and some low rent stripper. Tell 'em about it, Jim."
Jim Hellwig: "AND THE PROPHET SAID 'BEHOLD! FOR THE DAY OF RECKONING IS FAST AT HAND. ALL THAT HAS BEEN FORETOLD SHALL SPAWN UNTO ITSELF AND THE HERETICS SHALL FALL AT THE FEET OF THE MIGHTY!' WHILE THOSE IN AUTHORITY SEEK TO SILENCE THOSE THAT ARE JUST, AND INSTEAD PROMOTE THE TYPE OF TRASH THAT HAS BANKRUPTED PROPER MORALITY, THE WARRIORS ARE ONLY GETTING STRONGER!
