6. CHAOS w/Gedo vs The ELITE
This has been brewing for a while now. Okada and OMEGA are no strangers to each other and now their factions are involved. This is a wild one that the referee has a lot of trouble controolling. at one point The ELITE hit all 3 members of CHAOS with Superkicks simultaneously. The all cover and the ref who is confused as to who was legal countts all 3 but they all kickout at 2. Later Ishii hits Nick with a Spike piledriver with help from Okada. He covers but Matt breaks it up. Later the action spills to the floor. And even into the crowd! No one is listening to ref's count and soon he gets to 20 but no one seems to care.
Referee rules this a Double Countout
(It takes a while to get the teams to the back as the crowd loved the wild brawl.)
7. Melissa Anderson(c) vs MsChif - Femme Fatale Championship
Another match that has building ever since the night Melissa won the title. They come center ring and they begin trash talking one another even after the bell sounds. You can see Anderson is really angry and finally she shoves MsChif who shoves her back. Then it breaks out into a catfight. They are scratching and hairpulling. They wind up both rolling under the ropes and falling to the floor. They start trading elbows out there. Then MsChif tries to land a kick but Melissa grabs her leg and swings it into the railing. Anderson returns to the ring to stop the count and goes back after MsChif who is favoring the leg. Anderson sends her back in and targets the injured leg for a bit.
She puts her in a Cross-legged Boston crab. MsChif gets a rope break. Shortly after MsChif catches Melissa with Call From the Grave (Rolling cutter). She the locks on Gates of Hell II (Double leg hook bridging reverse chinlock). Anderson fights her way free but its taken a toll. Both women moving slowly now. They are trading elbows again. Then MsChif catches Anderson with a Spinning Backfist. She drops to her knees as the challenger signals for the Desecrator. But then Sara Del Ray runs down to the ring. Chif sees her and invites her into the ring. She starts to dive in but stops and from behind Melissa hits a Bulldog. She then Hits a Revrse STO and goes right into the Kondo Clutch (Figure-four cloverleaf)! MsChif is fighting to get to the ropes as Sara mocks her, She reaches for the rope but then Melissa pulls her away and reapplies the hold. She holds on for as long as she can but then finally taps.
Winner & STILL Champion: Melissa Anderson
8. Kevin Steen & El Generico(c) w/Paul Heyman vs Gallows & Anderson w/Amber Gallows - XWA Tag Team Championship
The champs come out to a nice ovation. They seem to be more enamored with Generico than Steen & Heyman. The crowd serenades them to the OLE song. Referee Paul Turner is going to let a lot go here due to the importance and the history of these men. It turns into as you would suspect, a wild brawl. Very little in the way of tags. Generico catches Gallows in the corner with the Ole Kick. He looks for a BRAINBUSTAHHH but Doc Blocks it and instead a Super Gourdbuster. He then unsteadily stands om the top rope looking for possibly a Flying Legdrop but Steen knocks him off and he falls to the floor. The champs hit Anderson with a double Backdrop. He staggers to the corner where Generico connects on another Ole kick. Karl falls to his backside and Steen follows with a Cannonball. Generico pulls him away as Kevin nails a Senton. 1.. 2..
NO! Kickout by Anderson. Steen goes to hit the ropes but doesn't see Gallows is back on the apron. He pulls the top rope down causing Kevin to take a nasty fall to the floor. He comes in and nails Generico with an uppercut. He and Karl are up and st up for Magic Killer. They nail it! Anderson covers... But the ref is fighting with Heyman who has him on the apron screaming at him. Amber goes over and pulls Heyman down and flattens him with a right hand. Turner now goes over and counts... Kickout at 2 1/2! The challengers decide to hit him with another Magic Killer. But Steen runs in and drops both of them with a double clothesline. Steen is yelling at Generico to get up. Generico gives Anderson an Exploder into the Turnbuckle. Anderson rolls to the floor but Generico does a Suicide dive transitioned into a tornado DDT. Steen has Gallows alone in the ring. Amber gets on the ropes but Heyman trips her up causing her to land jaw first on the apron. Pop-Up Powerbomb by Steen!!! He covers 1.. 2..
Hangman Adam Page comes in and slams a chair across the back of Steen! Turner immediately calls for the bell.
Winners by DQ & STILL Champions: Kevin Steen & El Generico
(Page cracks steen across the the head now and then gets his Hangmans Noose and begins choking Kevin with it. He ties Kevin to the top rope and grabs the chair again but heats an Ole Kick that sends the chair to his face as the crowd pops. Generico is berating Page but doesn't see Anderson is back in and is hit with a Gun Stun. The champs are down and Amber grabs Heyman and sends him into the ring. Anderson & Gallows have him and deliver a Magic Killer to him. They leave the trio of Steen, Generico and Heyman lying as they help Page to the back.)
Main Event: Nick Bockwinkel(c) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi - UWF World Heavyweight Championship
Both men stand silently during introductions. This is Tanahashi's first World Title Match. The butterflies are there but he's been in big matches before and come out on top. Nick is a pro's pro. He's been here and knows the game better than almost anyone. He is as crafty as he is skilled. For those that take shots at his short cut taking he says "If you aint cheating you aint trying."
Match starts off as a scientific contest and in that regard Bockwinkel has the advantage. Tanahashi is no slouch but this is The Bock's game. He has Hiroshi down in a Half Nelson. Tanahashi can't get free and places his foot on the ropes. Nick releases but musses up the coiffed hair of the Japanese challenger. Tanahashi didn't like that show of disrespect and forgoes a tie up and unleashes a chop to the chest of Nick, then another. He whips him to the ropes and nails a dropkick. Nick rolls to the floor to break the momentum. But Tana nails him with a Baseball slide then goes up and hits a High Fly Flow to a standing Bockwinkel out on the floor. Fans are chanting "XWA!". Tanahashi sends the champ back in then when he enters he eats a knee lift. Gut Wrench Suplex into a float over cover by the Champion gets him a quick 2 count.
Bockwinkel stays on the attack a while then locks Tanahashi in a Sleeperhold. The ref is asking if he wants out. But nstead Hiroshi lifts Nick onto his back and rams him into the Buckle then does a back bump with Nick underneath him. It gets him out the hold. Nick lands a forearm to the chest and Tanahashi returns in kind. They trade these blows and we see Hirosho starting to get the better of the exhange. Nick tries to sneak in a kick but hiroshi was ready and catches it and executes a Dragon Screw Leg Whip. He gives him another then goes into a Texas Cloverleaf. Nick is in trouble but doesn't panic. He grits his teeth and makes his way to the ropes. Tanahashi stomps the back of Bockwinkel. Nick is still in the ropes and the referee tries to get him to back off. Tanahashi shoves the ref aside and goes back after him only to get a kick low out of the referee's view. He double leg dives him and has a foot on the 2nd rope but the ref is looking at Tanahashi's shoulders and counts to 3.
Winner & STILL Champion: Nick Bockwinkel
(Tanahashi is complaining to the referee but he didn't see anything. Then as Bockwinkel is presented with his belt in walks the former World Junior Heavyweight Champion, "Magnum" Adam Cole. He is without his Bullet Club entourage and even Lauren is not present. Cole has a mic.)
Cole: Bockwinkel... we both know what you just did. But I don't care. Hell.. I admire it. Anything you have to do to keep that belt is fair as far as I'm concerned. But the problem is. That was supposed to be mine. I worked hard for it and somehow you snuck in and took it. With a little help from me too. But alas what is.. is. But let's get this perfectly clear. That belt WILL be mine. I know you have a big defense at GLORY. But after that's done get ready... to get SHOT DOWN!
(Bockwinkel just stares at Cole and then says "You finished? Now get out of my ring. This is the Champ's time!". Adam smirks then takes his leave.)
