Revolution Championship Wrestling Presents Global Revolution
The pyro went off as the RCW logo was engulfed in flames. This was the measuring stick for a Pay-Per-View. The announce team consisted of Joey Styles, Sam Shadow & Chris X. The 6-sided ring also lit up.
'Welcome everyone to the event that sold out in less than a full hour! I'm Joey Styles, along with Sam Shadow & Chris X… and this is Global Revolution live on Pay-Per-View!' Joey declared.
'Thanks, Joe. Boy, do we have a great card tonight! In a Triple Threat match, albeit a rematch from Wrestlemania 22, Rey Mysterio defends the prestigious WWE World Heavyweight Championship against former champions Kurt Angle & Randy Orton. But not just any 3-way dance, oh no… it's going to be a 3-way Barbed Wire match! Also, John Cena defends the other WWE World title against The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match.' Shadow announced.
'The recruits also get into the mix as The Dog House, consisting of Bloodhound, DJ Diddy Dog, Redbark & Joey Boozehound take on The Emblem which consists of Eric Azzurith, Seth Ozkan, Chris Katalyst & TJ Dallas in a 4-on-4 Sudden Deathmatch! Also, we crown the first RCW Global Tag Team champions in a Battle Royal! You can handle the big one, Joe!' Chris X added.
'Thanks! The Revolution Heavyweight championship is on the line in an 8-man elimination match. The competitors will be determined in qualifying matches throughout the show. Enough of us wasting airtime; let's get to the ring!' Joey concluded.
'The 911' Ryan Walters vs. 'The Shuffle' Dan Wilson.
In this opening bout, Ryan Walters traded submission holds with Wilson in the early going. When the camera backed up, everyone got a look at the 'X' scar on The 911's chest. Wilson locked back up with Walters and doubled him over with a swift toe kick, followed by a DDT. Wilson went for a frog splash, but Ryan moved and then took advantage by stealing Chris Benoit's Crossface. Then, as the fans and announcers cheered on the action, Wilson stole the Ankle Lock from Kurt Angle and reversing the Crossface with it. The 911 ousted The Shuffle to the outside. Walters revived himself and took down Wilson with a suicide dive.
'What a dive that was! He'll have to get rich or die trying!' Shadow exclaimed.
When the action picked up, Wilson hit a viscous double-foot stomp onto Walters' back. Walters got up immediately, seemingly unaffected, and smashed Wilson over the head with a running Double-Axe Handle. A goose-chase sparked. When Wilson reached the corner, he attempted his Wildcard flying corkscrew clothesline finisher but missed as The 911 rolled away. Walters pulled Wilson by his long black hair and set him up on the top turnbuckle before spin-chopping him. Then The 911 attempted his Half Powerbomb (which he dubbed 'The 911 Tornado Bomb') and executed it expertly. Then he applied the Tazzmission sleeper to pick up the win… and gain entry into the main event.
'What a match! I think the bad break for Wilson started when he missed his Wildcard finish.' Shadow explained.
'He could have a dislocated collarbone after the devastating 911 Tornado Bomb connected.' Joey guessed. As the referee and several medical staff hauled Dan Wilson from the ring, the 30,000+ in attendance gave him a thunderous ovation.
Captain Paul Birchill vs. 'Black Jaguar' Butch Bingbong vs. FadeThis Triple Threat Elimination bout began with Birchill & Fade pounding the 6'11'' Butch Bingbong. Butch fought back and drilled them both with consecutive Jaguar Drivers (Muscle Busters). As Butch went to pick up Birchill, Fade revived and slammed Butch's face into the mat with his heel in a move called 'The Fade to Black'. Birchill turned on Fade and blasted him with his Uranage finisher. Butch laid in wait as Birchill ascended the top rope. Fade crotched the unsuspecting pirate on the post. Butch took the opening and executed the Avalanche Jaguar Driver from the top rope. Birchill was eliminated. Fade went right back to work on his larger adversary as Birchill rolled out of the ring, hitting Butch with a pair of karate kicks to the gut and the back of the head, followed by the Fade To Black. Fade went up top for his Fading Existence rolling leg drop finisher, but Birchill came back and crushed Fade's head with a steel chair. Butch marched over and hit a falling Jaguar Driver for the 1-2-3. Birchill resumed his attack after the bell by nailing a vertical DDT. Butch had punched his golden ticket for the main event.
'Looks like Birchill, the fun-loving pirate from London, UK, finally lost his smile… and Fade's getting the brunt of it!' Chris X exclaimed.
After a commercial for RCW on XNN aired, Joey Styles took centre stage on camera.
'It's time for a change of pace from the heavyweight action. We have imported Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask from Japan to mix it up with Mutt Soldier Z and Star Dog from Canada. It's not a fatal 4-way elimination match. It's under Double Jeopardy rules, which is a mini tournament of sorts.' Joey explained.
Double Jeopardy match: Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Tiger Mask vs. Mutt Soldier Z vs. Star Dog.
Liger & Soldier began the contest. With swift takedowns, Liger dominated Soldier for most of the first contest. After 10 minutes of high-flying action, Soldier pinned Liger following Liger's own Thunder Bomb and the Mutter (Spinning Kick to the back of the head). Reigning IWGP & NWA Junior Heavyweight champion Tiger Mask stepped into the ring with Star Dog. After a 15-minute submission-based scrap, Tiger Mask wriggled out of Dog's Seven-Star (Stone Cold Stunner from Fireman's Carry) and pinned Dog with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. Tiger Mask awaited Soldier. After 20 minutes of never missing a beat, Soldier was blasted over the head with a glass jug by Jushin Liger, allowing Tiger Mask to nail his vaunted Tiger Bomb for the 1-2-3. Tiger Mask had earned himself a spot in the 8-man. After the match, Mutt Soldier Z pulled Liger back into the 6-sided ring and floored him with the Mutter.
'Message to Jushin Liger: do not mess with Mutt Soldier Z!' Shadow said.
'Another message to one J. Liger: don't hit Soldier over the head with a jug of water either!' Chris X added.
4-on-4 Sudden Deathmatch: The Dog House vs. The Emblem.
After a hard-fought 30-minute bloodbath, Eric Azzurith was left with Bloodhound in the ring. Azzurith went for his Aztec Driver Bomb (Tornado Tombstone Piledriver), but Redbark rolled back in the ring and pulled Bloodhound over, allowing Bloodhound to nail an inverted piledriver of his own in a spot which resembled the late Owen Hart's career-damaging piledriver on Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Dog House re-entered the ring and destroyed Azzurith with their Dog Collar Driver (Package Piledriver), Guitar Driver (High Pumphandle Powerbomb), Beershot (Complete Shot) and Dog Splash (Corkscrew Frog Splash) finishers. Unfortunately, the rest of the Emblem rolled in and regained control. Seth Ozkan synched in his Cobra Clutch submission on DJ Diddy Dog; Chris Katalyst nailed both Redbark & Joey with consecutive Katalyst Krunches (Cradle Tombstones) and TJ Dallas capped it off with the Trenton Valley Smasher (Twisting Death Valley Driver from the top rope). DJ then tapped out to the pain, ensuring the Emblem 4 separate places in the main event for the Revolution Heavyweight title. The question was… who would fill the eighth spot?
RCW Global Tag Team championship Battle Royal.
The battle got off to an early start as The Crazy Cats (Red Tiger & Marc Sylvester) and The Bikebrakers (Kevin Smith & Ralph Summers) battled in the aisle. The Sharkslayer Connection (Zorka & Jaws) brawled with Team 3-D/The Dudley Boyz. Jeff & Matt Hardy reunited and fought America's Most Wanted together. Mane & Grizzly of the Xtreme Lions' Exchange took out MNM & Kane from the match before working on Big Show. Show tried a double chokeslam, but was shrugged off by the massive Grizzly and put in a full nelson submission. Mane attempted the finishing touches on Show with the Jungle Drill (Double-arm piledriver) but he couldn't move Show. Grizzly helped and eventually, Mane hit the Jungle Drill on Show. Then XLX hauled Show from the ring. The Dudley Boyz/Team 3-D Bubba & Devon hit a 3-D on Jaws before diverting their attention to Grizzly. Out of nowhere, Bubba levelled Devon with a Bubba Cutter and abandoned his tag partner. Grizzly finished off Devon with the Jungle Driver (Corkscrew Moonsault Leg Drop) and tossed him over the rope. The Hardyz charged XLX and the two teams were eliminated together. AMW made the Sharkslayer Connection meet their end with 2 consecutive Death Sentences before throwing them over. The Crazy Cats returned to the ring with the Bikebrakers, only to get a beatdown from AMW. Red Tiger & Marc Sylvester sprung to life and nailed both of AMW with the Feline Insanity (Wheelbarrow Suplex/Running Front Neckbreaker double-team move). AMW was then easy pickings for the 300-pound Ralph Summers to toss them out of the 6-sided ring. The Crazy Cats once again brawled with The Bikebrakers before Red Tiger hit the Infra Red Striker (modified RKO) on Kevin Smith. Then Summers powerbombed Red Tiger. Marc Sylvester, with whiskers for a moustache, hooked on a full nelson and leaned back with a Dragon Suplex. Smith revived and nailed the Kevolution (Overdrive) on Red Tiger followed up with Summers hitting the Summers Projekt (Reverse Eye of the Hurricane) on Marc Sylvester before laying claim to the Global Tag Team titles.
'I think it's time for one of our three main events, guys!' Joey explained.
As John Cena came out for his title defence against The Undertaker, Bret Hart came out of nowhere and busted Cena open with a fire extinguisher. He and the seemingly-reluctant Undertaker hauled Cena over to the Buried Alive pit and put him in it, much to the glee of the Cena-haters in the crowd. Bret poured the dirt onto Cena. Just like that, Undertaker had become a 5-time WWE champion. Bret offered his hand to the Deadman, only to receive a Last Ride on the pit.
But that was a necessary loss, as the fans rose out of their seats while the backstage staff took down the ropes for the World Heavyweight title 3-way match.
WWE World title Wrestlemania Rematch (Barbed Wire rules): Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton.
A hard-fought battle by three of the best. Mysterio attempted his 619 on Randy Orton, but was caught by a barbed wire-wrapped steel chair shot from Mark Orton, Randy's brother, allowing Randy to nail the RKO on a barbed-wire board and regain the WWE World Heavyweight title. The Ortons celebrated as Angle and Mysterio hauled themselves out of the ring. Mark Orton beat up the referee after the match and raised his brother's hand in victory.
'What a match! I know we've just seen one, but I wouldn't mind seeing another rematch!' Chris X explained.
'You'll get no argument from me, Chris!' Sam Shadow replied.
Revolution Heavyweight title 8-man elimination match: 'The 911' Ryan Walters vs. 'Black Jaguar' Butch Bingbong vs. Tiger Mask vs. Eric Azzurith vs. Seth Ozkan vs. TJ Dallas vs. Chris Katalyst vs. Batista.
The roof came off the arena when 'I Walk Alone' by Saliva boomed out on the speakers. Yes, 'The Animal' Batista had arrived. He bombed right through The Emblem members one-by-one with consecutive Batista Bombs. Tiger Mask tried his luck, but was crushed by the Batista Buster. Butch tried to take the Animal down, but Batista was too strong for the Black Jaguar. With a pair of Batista Bombs, 'The Animal' defeated Tiger Mask & Butch Bingbong. Ryan Walters got in a charged Batista with a lariat. The Animal floored The 911 once he recovered. Batista poised for the knockout blow with his Ultimate Warrior-style pre-finisher ritual. Then 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels ran in and levelled Batista with a chair-shot followed by the Rabid Annihilation (Cross-armed DDT) on the chair. Walters saw his chance and climbed the top rope. The 911 finished off The Animal with a Shooting Star Press to become the first-ever Revolution Heavyweight champion.
'I don't believe that Walters has done it! That S.O.B has claimed the Revolution title, thanks to Matt Michaels and a steel chair!' Shadow cursed.
As The 911, The Wolf and the Emblem attempted a beatdown, the RCW locker room came in to run them off.
'Watch out, Walters! Thanks for being apart of this great show, ladies and gentlemen; we'll see you tomorrow live on XNN… hopefully to see the destruction of Ryan Walters!' Joey concluded.
