WCW Nitro – Wednesday, May 4th, 2011
Basic summary for WCW Nitro: Eric Bischoff and the rest of the New World Order are in control of the revived WCW brand, featuring superstars like Kevin Nash, Vader, Ultimo Dragon, Diamond Dallas Page and the Divas.
Plot: More on the aftermath to the WCW World Championship Steel Cage match between Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page from Hardcore Justice last sunday; more on the status of the New World Order; Ultimo Dragon, Eddie Guerrero and Sting also appear.
Show location: Toronto, Canada
All of the companies and shows are copyrighted to their rightful owners (ie. WWE, WCW, TNA, Ring of Honor) and are not owned by me, and original characters are made by me.
This is an AU, and is rated TV-14 (Violence, Language)
Note: The expected amount of words on Raw, WCW, ECW, and SmackDown will be between 4,000 and 10,000 words. UCW Superstars episodes will probably be around between 4,000 and 7,000 words. Minor PPVs (3 hours long) like Hardcore Justice and Backlash will be probably between 15,000 and 30,000 words. Five of the Big Six PPVs (4 hours long; includes Royal Rumble, No Way Out, Briefcase Bash, Four Corners and Survivor Series) will be about between 20,000 and 35,000. CrossoverMania will be about 5 hours long and between 35,000 and 75,000. Remember, this is only an average calculation because there is a chance I may rush through an episode of a UCW show.
Extra note: I saw the debut of Brodus Clay's new Funkasaurus gimmick, and so I decided to have Clay be the guy he was on WWE NXT, and in Superstars last episode; a strong, destructive superstar, just until I feel like changing his gimmick, like when he takes a hiatus in the company.
Another extra note: Superstars and Divas from all brands can appear on any show, but each brand mainly focuses on the roster it includes.
Yet another note: After a week of UCW, after the week's episode of SmackDown, we show the Power 25 and week achievements, such as Superstar of the Week, Diva of the Week, Most Improved, Least Improved, and Match of the Week, among other decided achievements in the week, on a separate chapter going after the episode of SmackDown.
…
The WCW Nitro theme song played as fireworks blasted across the WCW set (In the last set used in real-time, upgraded with HD trons). The UCW-HD graphic appeared as cameras showed the cheering WCW fans of the past and the present.
"We are live in the offskirts of Toronto, Canada, as we present to you WCW Wednesday Nitro!" Scott Stanford mentioned. "I'm Scott Stanford, here with Matt Striker, at the commentary table."
A camera took focus of the commentary table at one side of the ramp leading up to the stage, where Scott Stanford and Matt Striker, both WWE commentators, are sitting.
"We will check out on the aftermath of the no holds barred steel cage match that was held three days ago at Hardcore Justice for the WCW World Championship, between the unforgiving New World Order member Kevin Nash and the well-known Diamond Dallas Page." Matt Striker noted, reminding himself and Stanford of the previous Pay-Per-View.
A moment later, the New World Order theme song played, resulting in boos. Kevin Nash came out, holding the WCW World Championship in his right hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here he is, and still WCW World Champion, Kevin Nash." Howard Finkel announced as Nash was making his way down to the ring. The World Champion climbed up the ring apron and walked over the top rope and into the ring. He grabbed a microphone from the other side of the ring and stood in the center of the ring.
"Now, there's some things that are meant to happen, and others that should never happen." Kevin Nash started. "I was meant to be a champion, and all of my enemies were never meant to face me. Just take DDP for an example. He become contender, and he payed for not being prepared as much as I was three days back at Hardcore Justice. I was part of some great matchups, including the WCW Elimination Chamber back in 2007 at American Starcade: I was the first runner up in that match until Chris Benoit snuck up from behind and took my shot away! And if you don't believe me, take a look in this clip."
The titantron showed the Elimination Chamber matchup, in which on TV the screen showed the clip as well.
Diamond Dallas Page, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels and John Cena were already eliminated. Kevin Nash was setting Chris Benoit up for the Jackknife, until Diamond Dallas Page kicked Nash from behind, prompting Benpot to roll Nash up, resulting in the referee going down for the pin.
1! 2! 3!
The bell rang as Chris Benoit was shown carrying the WCW World Championship around his waist while the referee Earl Hebner raised his left arm. The titantron reset to normal as a camera took focus of Kevin Nash again.
"You see that?" Kevin said, with a mild amount of anger. "Back there, I was screwed over because of Diamond Dallas Page! That is why I took out anger on him in the past few weeks! The New World Order is still riding high, and it will be the last time DDP faces me for the WCW World Championship!"
Yo, it's me, it's me, it's D.D.P…Kevin Nash was then interrupted by Diamond Dallas Page's theme song "Self High-Five" by Jimmy Hart and H. Helm, as the WCW veteran appeared at the top of the entrance ramp, looking quite angry because of the events from Hardcore Justice. He had a microphone in one hand, meaning he was going to have a say in this.
"Nash, I can distinctly say that the reason I wasn't 100% for the match was because of the fact that someone jumped me moments before the match." Page explained as he slowly walked down the entrance ramp. "I suspect that it may either be you or another one of the jackasses from the New World Order, and I can tell you this; when and if I find him, he is not going to stay on WCW for much longer."
"You really think I am behind the attack?" Nash asked with a bit of annoyance. "I can assure you that whoever hurt had an intention, because I was with the rest of the N.W.O when it may have happen, and I'm sure whoever hurt you was not in cahoots with the N.W.O., either."
"Oh really?" DDP responded.
"I'm telling you right!" Nash shouted back.
"Well, maybe you're wrong!" The WCW all-star (DDP) set the argument straight as he walked down the entrance ramp.
"Wrong? Trust me, I'm never wrong when it comes to whether an opponent of mine is hurt or not." Kevin Nash mentioned as Diamond Dallas Page was standing near the ring. "I beat you, fair and square, like I did five years back in 2006, just as the WCW revival was at its start!"
"You owe me a match for your title! Sting told me to tell you to shut your mouth and let the good guys talk, and if I was 100% at Hardcore Justice, then I could be able to kick your ass!" Page threatened the big, arrogant champion (Nash), causing a huge pop in the crowd. This resulted in a staredown betwenn Nash and DDP, until the remix to "Slay Me" by Dale Oliver played while the WCW general manager Sting (without his face paint, like how it is currently in TNA) emerged from the back with a microphone of his own and made his way to the ring with a bit of a smirk, as he walked down the entrance ramp, up onto the steel steps, and entered the ring, getting in between DDP and Kevin Nash.
"Alright, so I can see that there are some troubles between the two of you. You…" Sting began as he turned to Diamond Dallas Page. "…you feel you got screwed over by that masked person three days ago, and…"
Sting then turned to the tall Kevin Nash.
"…you are trying to prove that you squashed DDP fairly. That is what I call 'a little Nash lie', and since the matchup between you two ended… unfairly… then I say we have ourselves a main event: Diamond Dallas Page versus Kevin Nash, one-on-one, in a no-disqualification, no countouts rematch for the WCW World Championship! Ta-ta for now!" Sting ended the argument on a high note for DDP and Sting, but quite a low note for Kevin Nash as Sting left the ring while "Slay Me" played again.
"Sting has spoken again!" Matt Striker proclaimed. "A big main event coming by tonight on the first WCW since Hardcore Justice!"
"Matt, that is only the beginning of the action!" Scott Stanford mentioned as the screen transitioned into a WCW Nitro match card featuring Ultimo Dragon and Rey Mysterio at opposite sides of the screen with the Cruiserweight Championship (as it was in the WWE) in the middle. The words 'Cruiserweight Championship Match' appear below in the titular WCW Nitro way from the past. The word 'Tonight' is right below the picture of the title. Ladders are seen around the match card, meaning the title match is a ladder match.
"Later tonight, we have a WCW Cruiserweight Championship match between two of the greatest high-flyers in WCW history, past and present; Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon face off in an excruciating ladder match tonight!" Stanford announced as the screen faded to black.

JTG was in the ring as his most recent theme song "Bringin' Da Hood To U" played. Boos were heard slightly, considering JTG's status as a low-card heel.
"The following contest is scheduled for one-fall!" Howard Finkel said, his voice blaring through the speakers in the large arena in Toronto. "Currently in the ring, weighing in at 232 pounds, JTG!"
JTG's theme song faded out, in which "Can You Feel The Heat?" played as Eddie Guerrero arrived in a low-rider with flame designs (similar to the car he rides in a decent amount of WWE games that Eddie appeared in)
"And his opponent," The Fink continued. "From El Paso, Texas, weighing in at 228 pounds, Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero!"
After the hydralics in the low-riding car made it bounce several times, Eddie exited the car and began walking down the entrance ramp.
"Eddie Guerrero is a former UCW Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, Tag Team Champion on Raw, WCW and ECW over the last few years, and the 2007 Mr. Money in the Bank." Matt Striker noted as Eddie got to the end of the entrance ramp, walked up the steel steps, and walked through the ropes, leading him into the ring.
Sounds of the crowd cheering at a moderate volume were heard as Eddie Guerrero stood in the middle of the ring, while JTG was in the corner as Howard Finkel left the ring to sit offscreen.
The referee Jack Doan stood in the gap in between the space Eddie and JTG were leaving while at opposite sides of the ring, and sounded for the bell to ring.
Guerrero and JTG stood closer and circled the ring for a moment, until Eddie got JTG in a headlock and attempted to toss him into the ring ropes, but then JTG rebounded and knocked the El Paso superstar into the ropes with a dropkick, knocking Eddie into a groggy state for a moment, until JTG kicked him in the back, but then Eddie Guerrero avoided a second kick and sent the former Cryme Tyme member into the top right corner (mapping with the north of the ring being the side facing the entrance ramp), dropping in with a schoolboy pin.
1! 2! JTG kicked out right on two.
Eddie got JTG in a brief headlock, but JTG flipped Guerrero over his head with a snapmare and kicked him in the back, in which the heel bounced back on the ropes, only for Eddie Guerrero locking in around with a frontward hurricanrana lock, and slammed JTG down with a sunset flip powerbomb, pushing the Brooklyn star aside as Eddie exited the ring to the ring apron facing the announcer table and jumped back over into a slingshot senton, followed by another pin.
1! 2! JTG kicked out again at two and a half.
JTG used lightweight manuvers to roll away from Eddie, and as the Latino superstar ran at him, JTG kicked him in the gut and bounced off the ropes, going for his signature leg drop bulldog, but Eddie Guerrero reversed it up into an electric chair position and slammed him down with a facebuster, laying JTG out long enough for Eddie to exit to the ring apron.
Eddie climbed up onto the top right (see above in the previous mention), nearby the entrance ramp, and jumped off, landing on JTG with the Frog Splash, pinning him for the win.
"He's gonna win it!" Matt Striker shouted.
"Wait, this fast?" Scott Stanford said in surprise.
1! 2! 3!
The bell rang as "Can You Feel The Heat?" played again.
"Here's your winner, Eddie Guerrero!" Howard Finkel announced as referee Jack Doan raised one of Eddie Guerrero's arms.
"This was quite a shorter match than we expected." Matt mentioned.
"But yet it had some rough highlights during the match." Scott noted.
"Well, earlier, Sting has confirmed a big main event!" Matt announced as a match card similar to the Ladder Match image appeared, but with Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page at opposite sides and the WCW World Championship in between. 'Tonight' was seen below the title. "Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page are to face off in an offical WCW World Championship rematch from Hardcore Justice, and it is tonight!"
The screen faded out, and the show headed into a commercial break

Shad Gaspard, along with Michael Tarver, were standing at the top right corner of the ring (again, camera style, facing the entrance ramp of the arena), while "My Tyme" (Shad's 2010 heel-turn theme song) played.
"Well, coming up right now is a tag team match between Shad and Tarver and Carlito and Primo." Scott Stanford mentioned as Shad's entrance theme faded out, moments before "Cool" by Jim Johnston played.
I spit in the face… of people who don't wanna be cool.
Carlito emerged from the back (holding an apple as well) with his brother Primo as cheers, at a moderate volume, were heard.
"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! In the ring, the team of Michael Tarver and Shad Gaspard!" Howard Finkel announced as Carlito and Primo went down the entrance ramp. A cameraman took focus of Tarver and Gaspard for a brief moment as Howard Finkel continued. "And their opponents, at a combined weight of 435 pounds, Carlito and Primo, the Colons!"
"Carlito and Primo are quite the tag team, since they are two time SmackDown Tag Team Champions, along with a brief two-week reign with the WCW Tag Team Championships after Reign of Glory last year." Matt Striker mentioned as Carlito and Primo entered the ring.
"Carlito was also an Intercontinental and United States champion, and he won both in the last year, starting with the Intercontinental Championship at Royal Rumble, which he lost at No Way Out the next month, followed by the US Title win later at Backlash, briefly landing the title on WCW until one month later, where R-Truth won the title from him."
Both the teams of the Colons, as well as Shad Gaspard and Michael Tarver. As Primo got to the top right corner, Shad and Michael conversed over a game plan, and finished up, in which Tarver got to the ring apron at the opposite corner of the ring. The bell rang, signaling the tag team match to begin. Carlito and Shad circled the ring, until Shad shoved Carlito into a corner, sparking a large amount of boos. Shad showboated for a moment, but then Carlito knocked him down with a dropkick, sending the former Cryme Tyme member onto the map.
"Oooh!" Striker groaned as the dropkick hit. "That wasn't nice of Tarver to spark a bit of rage to Carlito!"
Carlito noticed he was next to Tarver, and moved away to the other side of the ring, as he landed an elbow drop onto Gaspard's chest, followed by a pin, which Shad instantly kicked out of. Carlito was thrown a few feet back, right next to his partner Primo, and tagged him (Primo) in. Primo went through the ropes, only to eat a clothesline from Shad, causing the Colon family member to do a backflip before landing on his belly. Shad went for a pin fall.
"And the pin!" Scott said as the referee got down for the pin.
1! 2! Primo kicked out at two.
Shad slowly approached his partner Michael Tarver, and went for a tag, only for Primo to quickly recover and roll Shad up, but Primo's grip slipped away, and Gaspard got knocked into the corner near Carlito. Primo got up on his feet and hit Shad with a dropkick in the corner, followed by a bounce off the bottom rope and a kick across Gaspard's face. Primo tagged Carlito back in, but Shad gained enough momentum to get back up and throw Carlito in before he entered. Shad then ran to Michael and tagged him in, allowing the former WWE NXT rookie to enter the ring as Carlito staggered on his feet. Tarver whipped Carlito into the ropes and slammed him down with a power slam, followed by another pinfall in the match.
1! 2! Carlito kicked out at two and went to the ropes to recover.
Michael Tarver ran at Carlito, who went to the ring apron, and caused Tarver to run into the top turnbuckle. Michael held his head in pain as Carlito got to the top rope, and knocked Tarver down with a diving shoulder block, followed by a pin fall.
1! 2! Michael Tarver kicked out at two and a half and attempted to crawl to his partner Shad.
Carlito, however, pulled Tarver away by his back and nailed him with the Backstabber, going for another pin.
1! 2! Shad broke the pin.
Primo jumped over the top rope and dropkicked Shad over the top rope, and afterwards jumped onto him with a body press out of the ring as Carlito and Michael Tarver got up at the same time. Tarver went for a clothesline, but Carlito slammed him onto his face with the Cool Shot (Complete shot), afterwards going into yet another pin.
1! 2! 3!
The pinfall was successful as the bell rang and "Cool" played again. Primo joined his brother as Carlito got his left arm raised up in victory by the referee.
"Here are your winners, Carlito and Primo, the Colons!" Howard Finkel shouted off-screen as the referee raised Primo's right arm up.
"Carlito and Primo rising up the tag team rankings, hoping to get their second reigns as WCW Tag Team Champions." Matt Striker proclaimed as a replay of Carlito landing the Cool Shot on Michael Tarver was shown, before reverting back to Carlito and Primo
A moment later as Carlito and Primo celebrated, the match up screen of the ladder match between Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon for the Cruiserweight Championship appeared again, but with 'Up Next' in place of 'Tonight'.
"Coming up next is a big match up for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon settle their differences in a ladder match, up next!" Scott Stanford mentioned, before the screen transitioned out after showing the WCW logo for a few seconds.
(5-MINUTE COMMERCIAL BREAK; NO UCW COMMERCIALS)
Now trending: Ladder Match, Rey Mysterio
The bell rang, as the legendary Howard Finkel stood in the center of the ring. Ladders were placed all around the outside of the ring.
"The following contest is a ladder match, and it is for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship!" He announced as the entire attendance of thousands cheered. "Now, the only way to win the match is by climbing a ladder in the center of this ring, and unhooking the title from above!"
As the Canadian crowd continued to cheer, "Booyaka 619" by P.O.D. began playing.
Booyaka, booyaka…
Six-one-six-one-nine
Booyaka, booyaka…
That's my, that's my pueblo…
As soon as the song intensified, colorful fireworks shot out from the center of the stage as Rey Mysterio hopped into view. He pointed at the far left and right sides of the stage, causing fireworks to sprout out in timing with Rey Mysterio's movement.
"Introducing first, coming down the aisle, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 175 pounds, he is Rey Mysterio!" Howard continued as Rey walked down the entrance ramp, briefly butting heads with some of the mask-wearing fans in the front rows near the entrance ramp. Rey took notice of the ladders around ringside as he walked up the steel steps and entered the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for one of our two main event matches tonight! Later tonight, Kevin Nash vs. DDP for the WCW Championship." Scott Stanford said as Rey got up on the middle rope at the bottom left corner of the ring, and then again at the top right corner, as he awaited the champion.
"Dragon" by Jim Johnston played as Ultimo Dragon arrived with the WCW Cruiserweight Championship (same in design of the WWE title) around his waist. He did a Japanese prayer hand motion as blue fireworks spurted from the sides of the stage.
"And his opponent, from Japan, residing in Mexico City, Mexico, weighing in at 189 pounds, he is the WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Ultimo Dragon!" Howard Finkel continued as the hinges that should hold championships up high lowered to regular ground level. Ultimo Dragon ran down the entrance ramp and leapt onto the ring apron, staring at Rey Mysterio for a brief moment, before jumping over the top rope, into the ring. Ultimo gave his title over to the unnamed referee, who placed it on the ladder match title carrier, which raised back up to the level required for a ladder match. The bell rang, signalling the start of this ladder match, as the generic referee left.
"And the ladder match is about to begin. Who will get the first hit?" Matt Striker mentioned as Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon looked up to the Cruiserweight title hanging from above. Rey and Dragon circled the ring, until Ultimo got the San Diego luchador in a headlock, followed by a whip into the ropes, and as Rey sprang back, Ultimo threw him over with an arm drag, but Rey quickly rolled to his feet and knocked him back with a drop kick, sending him into the ropes.
"A hard dropkick to Ultimo Dragon!" Scott proclaimed as Ultimo bounced back and went for a jumping kick, but Rey dodged it and dropkicked Dragon's left knee, sending the Japanese all-star onto his knees.
Rey bounced off the ropes in front of Ultimo and jumped for the DDT, but Ultimo reversed it into a front necklock, attempting to go for a vertical suplex, but out of nowhere, Rey got out of the lock and knocked Dragon onto his head with a crucifix, but it was the non-pin variant of the crucifix drop due to the rule about no pin-falls in a ladder match. Rey then rolled outside and folded in a ladder nearby, afterwards putting it into the ring, underneath the ropes. The Master of the 619 slid into the ring right after and attempted to get the ladder set up, but then Ultimo Dragon tripped him and caused the ladder to fall back, already set up. Ultimo slowly crawled to his feet and attempted to climb the ladder, but Rey got back up again and landed a kick to Dragon's mid-section, causing him to nearly fall over.
"Trying to knock Ultimo off the ladder, I suppose." Matt Striker pointed out as Rey tried to push the ladder down, but Ultimo jumped off the slight height from the ladder and pulled off a hurricanrana, sending Rey back outside.
"And a hurricanrana to the Ultimate Underdog!" Scott Stanford mentioned as Ultimo dragged himself back to the ladder and started climbing again.
"You know, the Cruiserweight Championship was going around over the last few months, starting at SummerSlam last year." Matt reminded Scott as Ultimo got to the top of the ladder and reached for the title, but Rey got back in and, with all his might, pushed the ladder down, causing Ultimo Dragon to land on the ropes. Rey collapsed, minorly exhausted.
"Now both men are down!" Scott noted as Mysterio and Dragon struggled to get up, one before the other. The ladder was leaned on the ladder, still unfolded. Rey used the ropes to help his elevation, and he got up first, as Ultimo leaned on the middle rope. Rey saw the opportunity, and bounced off the ropes opposite of the ring ropes Dragon was leaning on. Mysterio jumped in between the ropes and attempted the 619, but Ultimo ducked, and slid out of the ring.
"The 619 has missed!" Matt mentioned as Ultimo kicked down a ladder and picked it up, as it was folded in. Rey jumped over the top rope and landed on Ultimo Dragon and the ladder, knocking him down, resulting in a pure epic moment. "Whoa!" Matt grunted as Mysterio and Dragon were laid out on the outside, risking injury from the ladder bump.
"What a dive! An epic move!" Scott shouted. "Who will get the upper hand? We'll be right back!"
The screen faded out, meaning that it was time for a commercial break, indeed.

Rey Mysterio was trading kicks with Ultimo Dragon in the ring, still suffering the effects from the ladder bump earlier in the match-up. The ladder in the ring was leaned up against the bottom left corner, while the ladder Ultimo tried to bring in a bit ago was still outside.
"We welcome you back to WCW Nitro, as the Cruiserweight Championship is on the line in this ladder match!" Scott Stanford welcomed the TV viewers back as Rey kicked Ultimo a few times before whipping him into the ropes, and then, as Dragon bounced by, hopped onto his shoulders, going into hurricanrana position. Rey then directed the move into the ladder and whipped Ultimo over with his legs, sending the Cruiserweight Champion onto the ladder.
"Oh my god, on the ladder!" Matt Striker shouted as Ultimo writhed in pain, getting off the ladder. "That's gotta leave a mark!"
Rey rolled out of the ring, getting to the ladder that was kicked down earlier. He lifted the ladder up and threw it under the ropes, as Ultimo Dragon tried to get up, despite the damage to his spine. Rey set up the ladder, only to get pulled down soon after when Ultimo finally got up on his feet and got to Mysterio. He threw Rey into the bottom left corner, and picked up the ladder that was still leaning on the ropes. He stepped back a bit, and then ran at Rey, sandwiching him between the turnbuckles and the ladder, damaging him further. "OH!" Scott groaned as Rey fell down onto his belly. Ultimo set the ladder up in the middle of the ring and began climbing as Rey crawled to the opposite side of the ladder, and began climbing as well.
Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon were now at the top ladder, and began trading punches, until Rey kicked Ultimo in the head, causing him to become groggy. Rey stood up higher, and span to the other side of the ladder, striking Ultimo's back with a 619 on the ladder, but Ultimo grabbed him from behind and threw him over, causing Rey to land on the ring mat painfully behind Ultimo Dragon, who reached for his title and attempted to untie it, but he stopped when he noticed he needed to put Rey through more punishment when Mysterio struggled to get back up on his feet, and got to the very top of the ladder, readying for a diving move.
Ultimo jumped off, going for a moonsault, but Rey rolled out of the way, causing Dragon to crash onto the mat, as Rey climbed up quickly, and got to the top of the ladder again. He reached for the Cruiserweight title, and unhooked it from above, thus winning the match. The bell rang as "Booyaka 619" played again, while cheers erupted from around the arena.
"He has done it!" Scott Stanford shouted as Rey held the title in his hands and raised it up in the air.
"Here is your winner, and the NEW WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio!" Howard Finkel exclaimed as Rey slowly got down from the ladder.
"Five times now! Five times has Rey Mysterio won the Cruiserweight Championship!" Matt Striker shouted as Rey Mysterio got up on the top right corner, onto the middle rope, and raised the title up in the air.
The current scene in the ring faded into Diamond Dallas Page in the backstage area, walking to the ring, as the WCW Nitro theme song played again.
"Well, up next is our second main event of the night: Diamond Dallas Page faces off against Kevin Nash in a Hardcore Justice rematch from last Sunday, for the WCW World Championship!" Matt mentioned as the screen faded out.
(5-MINUTE COMMERCIAL BREAK; NO UCW COMMERCIALS)
Howard Finkel was in the ring again as the bellkeeper rang the bell three times.
"The following contest is the main event of the evening, and it is also for the WCW World Championship!" He announced as the fans in attendance cheered the loudest they could.
The New World Order theme song played, as camera effects caused the screen to go black and white. Kevin Nash made his way down the entrance ramp in an NWO themed attire, complete with the New World Order shirt, with the WCW World Championship belt draped over his right shoulder. The crowd was heard booing as loud as they could, due to the fact that the NWO is a heel faction
"Kevin Nash is a brute when it comes to being champion." Scott Stanford told Matt Striker as Nash continued to walk down the entrance ramp.
"And he's the second in command in the New World Order faction. That's what proves his dominance." Matt said back. "He's part of one of the most powerful factions in UCW."
Kevin Nash grabbed onto the middle rope when he made it to the end of the ramp and lifted himself up onto the apron. From there, he walked over the top rope and raised the title up in the air, as he stood in the middle of the ring. Afterwards, the NWO theme faded out.
Yo, it's me, it's me, it's D.D.P…
"Self High Five" played again as the WCW all-star Diamond Dallas Page arrived at the stage in a full black, doing his signature taunt while green fireworks blasted followed by a red explosion as DDP walked down the entrance ramp with a determined smile on his face.
"And here comes the iconic Self High-Fiver, Diamond Dallas Page!" Matt Striker said as Page slid into the entrance ramp, and pulled off the Self High Five taunt again. As he stood in the top right corner, while Kevin Nash stood at the opposite side of the ring.
"Introducing first," Howard Finkel began, as he stood in between DDP and Kevin Nash. "The challenger, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in this morning at 248 pounds, Diamond Dallas Page, D…D…P!"
DDP did his Self High-Five taunt yet again, causing a positive pop in the crowd ('pop' means a large ovation).
"And his opponent," The Fink continued. "From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 328 pounds, he is the WCW World Champion, Kevin Nash!"
Boos erupted from the crowd as Kevin Nash raised his title up in the air for a moment. The referee in charge Earl Hebner grabbed the title from Nash and raised it up with both hands.
"DDP was once a manager for Kevin Nash, and now they're enemies to this day." Matt Striker noted as Earl called for the match to start, and the bell rang to signal it.
Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash engaged in a staredown in the middle of the ring, and then proceeded to circle the ring, before they ended up in a tie-up, in which Nash quickly shoved DDP into the ropes and clotheslined him as he sprung back. Kevin went for a pin, only for Page to roll away to the outside, in which he thought up a quick game plan before entering before the count of 1 from Earl Hebner. DDP kicked Kevin's right leg, sending Big Daddy Cool on one knee (which had an injury before), and slapped him in the face.
"Reckless start to this championship match!" Scott mentioned as Diamond Dallas Page brought Kevin down with a Diamond Dream DDT early in the match, followed by a pin.
1! Kevin Nash kicked out quickly.
DDP waited for Kevin Nash to get up, but Nash clotheslined him into the bottom left corner, and then damaged his neck with a foot choke in the corner, as Earl Hebner began the 5-count.
1! 2! 3! 4! Nash stopped, as Earl reminded him about the 5-count in the match up.
As Nash got back to the corner, he threw Diamond Dallas Page across the ring to the top right corner, causing Page to hit the top turnbuckle face first. He fell down, holding his head as Kevin Nash walked over to him and stomped on him twice. Once in the gut, and another on his face. As DDP rose up in pain, Kevin stood in front of him and went for a big boot, but Page reversed the big boot into a leg trip, sending Nash crashing onto his face. DDP left to the ring apron and then climbed the top rope at the top right corner, waiting for Kevin Nash to get up again. Kevin slowly got up to his feet, but when he turned around, the Self High-Fiver knocked him back down with a flying shoulder block off the top rope. Nash went down and then went back up again, when DDP struck him with another shoulder block, and then another, but as Page ran at Nash again, the NWO champion kicked him down with a hard big boot.
"A hard shot from that big kick to the face." Scott Stanford noted as Kevin Nash went for the pin.
1! 2! DDP kicked out at two.
Kevin Nash pulled DDP back down on his back and kicked him several times, before stopping and picking him up. Nash whipped Page into the ropes, and lifted him up and then down with the sidewalk slam, but as Nash rolled out of the way and stood at the ropes, DDP kipped up and dropkicked him over the top rope. Kevin Nash went crashing down to the lightly padded flooring, as Earl Hebner got ready to begin the 10-count.
"Kevin Nash is down and out! Will he make it back into the ring in time? We'll find out when WCW rolls on!" Matt Striker said as the screen faded to black again for a commercial break.
(6-MINUTE COMMERCIAL BREAK; NO UCW COMMERCIALS)
As the show faded back in, Kevin Nash was seen throwing Diamond Dallas Page down with a body slam.
"Welcome back, as we continue this championship match!" Matt Striker said as Kevin Nash lifted DDP halfway up into a sitting position, bounced off the ropes at the left of the top right corner, and nailed a big boot to his face, followed by a pin.
1! 2! DDP kicked out at two and a half.
Kevin Nash grabbed DDP by his throat, lifted him up, and threw him down with a chokeslam, afterwards pinning Page again.
1! 2! DDP once again kicked out.
Diamond Dallas Page crawled away quickly to the top left corner, as Kevin Nash backed in and attempted a knee strike, but DDP evaded the attack, causing Kevin to hit his knee on the middle turnbuckle. DDP came up from behind and rolled him up with a school boy.
1! 2! Kevin Nash kicked out at two and a half.
Diamond Dallas Page went to the ropes at the right of the top right corner, as Kevin Nash got up slowly at the opposite side of the ring. As soon as both Nash and DDP got up, they ran at each other and knocked each other down with clotheslines at the same time. Earl Hebner noticed both men down, and began the knock-out 10-count.
1!
…
2!
DDP was leaning on the bottom ropes as he tried to get up. Kevin Nash was on one foot, but he collapsed onto his back.
3!
Page made it on his feet, and got ready for the Diamond Cutter. However, as he ran at Kevin Nash when he got up, Nash reversed it into a chokeslam to the ring apron (facing the right side of the crowd). DDP held on and re-entered the ring. He ended up kicked in the gut by Kevin Nash, who was getting ready for the Jackknife Powerbomb, but DDP threw Kevin over his shoulder, sending him back first onto the mat as NWO leader Eric Bischoff appeared, walking down the entrance ramp.
"Uh-oh, here comes Eric Bischoff!" Scott Stanford noted.
"What's he doing here?" Matt Striker wondered.
Earl Hebner noticed Bischoff approaching the ring, and told him to stay back. However, at the opposite side of the ring, Scott Steiner entered the ring and whacked DDP with a steel chair, hiding underneath the ring apron afterwards.
"Hey! Steiner just attacked DDP!" Matt yelled, surprised and agitated by the interference.
"Turn around, Earl!" Scott told Earl out, as Kevin Nash went for the pin. Earl Hebner noticed it and went down for it.
1! 2! 3!
"What the hell!" Matt shouted, responding to the actions of the NWO. "Why? Why stoop this low?"
The New World Order theme played again as boos scattered the arena.
"Here is your winner, and STILL the WCW World Champion," Howard Finkel announced. "Kevin Nash!"
"Kevin Nash stole the victory away from Diamond Dallas Page!" Matt Striker exclaimed as Eric Bischoff and Scott Steiner entered the ring and celebrated with Kevin Nash on their victory. Kevin raised his WCW World title up into the air, shouting "I can not be beat! I can not be beat!"
After a moment of celebration, with loud boos coming from everybody in the live audience, the moment was fortunately killed…
THE TRUTH… SHALL SET ME FREE!
The late 2011 remix to "What's Up?" played as Mr. Money in the Bank R-Truth appeared from the back suddenly with the MITB briefcase in hand. The three members of New World Order looked in disbelief and surprise.
"Whoa, whoa, hold on, what the…?" Matt Striker proclaimed in confusion.
"R-Truth! Is he…" Scott Stanford tried to pick up on what was going on as R-Truth entered the ring, and laid out Eric Bischoff, Scott Steiner, and Kevin Nash with the briefcase, striking all three in their heads. However, Scott Hall and Mike Awesome, the other two members of the NWO, ran down the entrance ramp and attempted to attack R-Truth, but the Money in the Bank winner avoided the interference and went to the bellkeeper, giving him the Money in the Bank briefcase.
"Ladies and gentlemen, R-Truth has cashed in his Money in the Bank contract!" Howard Finkel announced, causing a large amount of loud cheers from the crowd. DDP attacked Scott Hall and threw him over, as well as Mike Awesome afterwards.
"Holy sh-is this for real?" Matt Striker asked, surprised at R-Truth's attempt to run for the title.
"I suppose so, and I think we may have a new champion in no time!" Scott Stanford responded as the bell rang.
Almost immediately, R-Truth knocked Kevin Nash out with the jumping complete shot, followed by a pin fall.
1! 2! 3!
The bell rang as the crowd burst into extremely loud cheers, while "What's Up" played again. R-Truth was overzealous over winning the championship, and began breakdancing.
"Here is your winner, and the NEW WCW World Champion, R-Truth!"
"Wow! This just got better by the minute!" Matt Striker proclaimed as R-Truth was given the WCW World Championship.
"The New World Order had lost its world title!" Scott Stanford added. "What will happen next week?"
"Perhaps the downfall of the NWO!" Matt Striker responded. "We'll hope for the best until next time!"
Confetti rained down onto the ring and also ringside as R-Truth stood in the ring, raising the WCW World Championship over his head, as the show faded out.
