SHOOTING . . .

WRESTLING
!!!!The opening montage as ‘INSIDE THE FIRE’ by Disturbed hits. As it fades out to black we still hear the crowd chanting ‘S-S-W! S-S-W!’ The camera comes up on the rowdy crowd pumping their fists as they chant, and the strobe lights go off on the ramp. The camera scans the crowd, focusing in on several signs in the audience.
We get a recap of some of the goings on surrounding the world title, especially in RWA and BTPW where Tully Blanchard and Jerry Lawler have been breathing down the neck of the champion.
In the back - we see a long black limo pull up to the arena and out steps members of Excellence International, Tully Blanchard and 'Hotstuff' Eddie Gilbert!In the arena, 'Black Star' by Yngwie malmsteen hits and Excellence International wastes no time in coming straight to the ring. Tully talks first, addressing the travesty that happened last week when AJ Styles defeated Eddie Gilbert to retain the Junior title when CM Punk interfered. Tully tells AJ that they are here this week because AJ needs to come out and make it right and hand the title to Eddie. Speaking of which, Tully has a contract for a world title match against Jericho, so Jericho might as well save himself the embarrassment and come out and surrender the world title to him.
This, of course, brings out the world champion Chris Jericho. He asks if Tully would please SHUT .... THE HELL UP!!!! Jericho says that 1 out of every 3 promos in the UWF these days seems to be about Chris Jericho. Tully cuts a promo, Jerry Lawler cuts a promo .... Yadda yadda yadda. Tully and Jericho go back and forth about their feud over the world title at Wrestlemania, and Jericho says Tully's in the spotlight is over and Tully is trying desperately to get it back because he realizes he is nothing without the world title. Eddie on the other hand has always been nothing and always will be nothing, but Jericho is great with or without this title. If Tully has that signed contract he keeps talking about, then he needs to take it out of that frame hanging on his wall and step up. If he can't understand what he is saying, he is saying 'why wait until a date to be named later when we can do it tonight!'
Tully says nothing would be better than getting his title back on Jericho's home turf because he owns Jericho.
BREAKMichelle McCool makes her return from a knee injury that has kept her out of action for quite some time, and she is scheduled to take on Madison Rayne, who comes out with her sash and tiara and doing the 'Queen B' gimmick. However, before the 2 can even get started, 'HAVE A DRINK ON ME' by AC/DC hits and out comes the ODB!!!! ODB takes a few shots from her flask, then cuts a promo. She says that this women's division is full of blonde bimbos and barbie dolls, but they ain't seen nuthin like the ODB. She wants in on the action, because she is liquored up and ready to fight!
Match 1: women's 3 way dance
Michelle McCool vs. Madison Rayne vs The ODBThis match is a real contrast of styles, with ODB playing more of the heel role. McCool actually gets cheers from the fans, and she battles back from behind despite being a little rusty. ODB hits the 'dirty dozen' on Madison, but McCool knocks her off the ropes with a running yakuza kick! McCool nails the 'Faith No More' (Angels Wings) for the pin.
In the back - Chris Jericho is with Josh Matthews. Josh asks if taking this match with Tully is a mistake seeing as he has a big match coming up with Jerry Lawler next week. Jericho says his match with Lawler is anything but 'big'. Jericho says Lawler can run him down and say he is undersized, but that just exposes Lawler's stupidity because they are the same size. The only thing separating them is 20 lbs worth of Lawler's 'man boobs' and a ton of talent. There is more talent in Jericho's right wrist than in Lawler's whole body. Jericho knows all the 'good ole boys' behind the scenes in the UWF would love to see him lose, just so Lawler and BTPW will have another opportunity to say they are quitting again only to have everyone beg them to stay. But the fact remains that tonight, or any other night, all of those assclowns are just going to have to settle for being disappointed because Chris Jericho is not losing tonight or any other.BREAKIn the back - United States women's champion Kelly Kelly and Brooke Adams are with Reby Sky. Reby tries to get a word, but Brooke jerks the mic from her and sends her running. Kelly is pissed because she is not on tv this week. Who is on the cover of Maxim magazine? She is! She deserves to be the feature every week. AJ Lee interrupts them and says she is not the feature because everyone knows she is a fake. Her looks are fake, her personality is fake, and their friendship was fake. And the only reason she is champ is because of Brooke. She says that she went to Paul Heyman, and next week she gets Brooke in the ring! And if she wins she gets another shot at the United States women's title!Match 2: Impact division match
'The American Wolf' Eddie Edwards vs. 'The Human Torture Device' Doug WilliamsThis is a wrestling purest dream. Williams looks tremendous in his SSW debut, and Eddie brings his usual solid work to the table. Tons of back and forth action on the mat as these guys trade holds and reversals for nearly 10 minutes with no one getting the advantage. The end sees a flurry of offense by both men in an attempt to win, with Williams escaping the Achilles Lock. Williams is able to hit the Chaos Theory, but it is too late as the time limit expires and this one is ruled a draw.
After the match, the fans are chanting '5 more minutes' and 'That was awesome!' and both men shake hands to the delight of the crowd.
However, this brings out .... THE MIZ???? Really? Really?? REALLY?!? Awesome? Really???? Miz says he would have been out sooner except the 2 of them put him to sleep while he was watching in the back. That is not what the Impact division is supposed to be about, it is supposed awesome like he is!
This brings out Dolph Ziggler, who says Miz used to be on the Real World, so he wants Miz to come back to the real world. If there is anyone that personifies the Impact Division, it is yours truly Dolph Ziggler. No one has his skills, his technique, or his charisma. Miz can keep talking, but Ziggler will go on being what he is every day when he wakes up and looks in the mirror .... The heel, the natural and the best athlete in this entire company!
Miz and Ziggler are interrupted by yet another heel staking his claim to the Impact title, Cody Rhodes. Rhodes would be the champion right now if these two would not have stuck their nose in his business. And because of Ziggler, he is going to have to wait to get his title because Gabriel is out with a concussion after that Zig Zag on the floor last week. That leaves the two of them for Cody to deal with just the two of them this week, and he has no problem with that. He says that his bionic elbow is gonna shatter that glass jaw of Zigglers, and Miz will be back on Fear Factor by the time he's done. This is Cody's house, he is the fortunate son, and he is the one that will be the next impact champ.
Heyman comes out and says, before they eat up anymore of his tv time, they have given him an idea. Tonight its gonna be the 3 of them in a triple threat match and the winner will get the next shot at the Impact title.
BREAKIn the back - AJ is questioned about CM Punk helping him beat Eddie Gilbert. AJ says he and Punk are no strangers and they nearly killed each other in an SSW ring. All he will say is, what Punk is doing with this crusade aside, he earned his respect as a competitor. And why wouldn't he be trying to recruit AJ? He is the most phenomenal athlete in the entire UWF! He is the Junior heavyweight champion! Why wouldn't anyone want to be on his good side? AJ just stares into the camera and then walks off.Match 3: Tag Team Match
Project 187 (Homicide & Low Ki) vs. The Colons (Carlito & Primo) This is a hard fought match, but 187 is clearly the better team. After weathering a Storm of offense from the Colon brothers, 187 pulls out the win after Homicide pins Primo after the Cop Killa.
After the match, Homicide cuts a promo on Beer Money. He says that Beer Money keeps saying they want to fight them, but if that is the case then why hasn't the match happened yet?
This brings out, of all people, the Broskies along with Cookie. Broskies are in the house bitches! Ryder has the mic .... Are you serious bro? Why do 187 think they should get the shot when the Broskies are the clear choice to be No. 1 contenders? Woo woo woo .... You know it! 187 get a good laugh from the Broskies, then go into full bully mode. Broskies immediately back off, but out come the tag champs Beer Money. James Storm says they cant have a title shot tonight, but they can damn sure have a fight! Beer Money start to head to the ring, but security comes out and tries to keep the 2 teams separated.
BREAKMatch 4: Triple Threat match for a shot at the Impact title
The Miz vs Cody Rhodes vs Dolph ZigglerFans don't know who to cheer for in this one because they hate all 3 guys. Cody seems to be the target of both Miz and Ziggler at first though, and they double team him before turning on each other and tryin to steal the win. Each man seems able to avoid the other 2's finishers, but Rhodes strikes with the 'Beautiful Disaster' on Miz for a close 2. Cody goes for the Cross Rhodes, only to have Ziggler break it up using the Zig Zag but only gets 2. Here comes Miz with the Skull Krushing Finale on Ziggler, but this time Rhodes breaks it ip. Cody dumps Miz and then loads the elbow pad up for the Bionic rolling elbow .... JUSTIN GABRIEL!!!! Gabriel grabs Cody and tosses him outside, forcing the ref to immediately call for the bell.
After the match is thrown out, Gabriel takes the impact title and KO's Miz! He looks down at the fallen Ziggler and then goes up top .... 450 SPLASH!!!! Gabriel holds up the title over the 3 fallen men as we go to ....
A promo airs for the big SSW Genesis title match next week between Sheamus and Taz. Both men talk about how big the match is and how they are going to beat the hell out of the other, etc.After the promo, we go back to ringside where Elijah Burke comes out on crutches. He cuts his own promo and talks about his injury. He is gonna be watching the SSW title match next week because he is almost 100% and he wants a shot at the winner.
'BASIC THUG-A-NOMICS' hits and brings out a disgruntled John Cena. Cena says if anyone is getting a shot at the winner it's gonna be him because he deserves it. Burke says Cena deserves nothing but a big ole Danny Glover pimp slap if he doesn't get out of the Pope's face. Cena puts both hands up and backs off smiling, saying he would not beat up a cripple. Burke turns his back and Cena attacks him!!!! Cena goes after the knee, locking on the STFU! Cena will not let go until out of the back comes SAMOA JOE!
Joe says that Cena wants to be the big bully, but he is looking at the original bully. He challenges Cena to another rematch, but this time Cena shakes his head 'no' and walks out!
BREAKIn the back - we see Kenny King in the hallway throwing his game down on AJ Lee, Michelle McCool and some of the other girls in the women's division. They blow him off and he turns to go back into the locker room .... Where he finds MVP laid out on the dressing room floor. King calls for help as EMT's rush in to tend to MVP, who is out cold.Main Event: for the UWF world title
(champion) Chris Jericho vs Tully BlanchardThe opening few minutes are a wrestling clinic, much like you would come to expect from these 2. Jericho frustrates Tully by getting the better of him on the mat, leading to Tully popping up off the mat and shoving Jericho, who responds with a hard slap that knocks Tully on his ass. This pretty much breaks the ice as both men tear into each other from here on out. Tully pulls up the mats on the outside of the ring and tries to piledrive Jericho on the concrete, but he counters with a backdrop on the floor! Jericho works the back, but Tully comes back with a super-plex, hurting himself in the process! Both men are down as the crowd urges them on to their feet, and Tully unleashes an offensive flurry on Jericho! Jericho manages to survive, but falls victim to the slingshot suplex!!!! 1 .... 2 .... 2.99999!!!! Jericho kicks out. Tully is going to do it again .... Codebreaker out of nowhere and both men are down again!!!!
Jericho goes for the lion-sault .... Knees up!!!! Tully rolls up Jericho and has his feet on the ropes! 1 .... 2 ..... NOOOOO! Someone knocks Tully's feet off the ropes and breaks up the pin! The camera focuses on ringside to reveal .... JOHN MORRISON!!!! What the hell is he doing here!!!! Meanwhile, with the ref distracted, from the other side comes .... CM PUNK! Punk grabs Tully and scoops him up .... GTS!!!! He grabs Jericho to pull him on top, but Jericho attacks Punk!!!! As soon as this happens Morrison jumps in the ring and attacks Jericho, and the ref calls for the bell!!!!
The fans are booing loudly as Morrison assaults Jericho and the match is ruled a no contest. Punk pulls himself up and quickly calls Morrison off, allowing Jericho to get to his feet. Punk points at Tully and says that is what he was talking about, Jericho almost got screwed and 'THEY' were just gonna stand by and let it happen. Jericho eyes them cautiously, ready to fight but Punk and Morrison are making no moves to attack him. Jericho looks at Tully as he tries to get up .... THEN LAYS HIM OUT WITH A CODEBREAKER!!!! Punk lets a big smile cross his face, but Jericho just backs away and slides out of the ring, grabbing his title and leaving. Meanwhile, out of the back runs Eddie Gilbert with a chair and Punk and Morrison quickly escape into the crowd. Eddie stands guard over Tully, holding the Crusade at bay when suddenly ....
'TOUCHED' by Vast hits and out comes the UWF Junior Heavyweight champ AJ Styles!!!! AJ and Eddie have a staredown as the show ends!!!!
