RCW Thursday Night Repentance (May Week 2).
'Welcome to the brand new RCW Vendetta Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. My name is Chris X and my tag partner's name is the Quintessential Stud Muffin Joel Gertner!' Chris X introduced.
'We have a sell-out of 3,000 people tonight, my friend... and for good reason! In the main event, the RCW World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton will go one-on-one with the Human Suplex Machine Taz! Also, Yoshihiro Magma will face Mark Trevor Orton ahead of their title matches on Pay-Per-View!' Joel Gertner added.
'And just in case you were wondering, Bill Goldberg has elected to stay home tonight on Paul Heyman's orders after annihilating Kevin Smith inside a steel cage on Monday Night with a steel plate strapped to his shoulder. Ralph Summers is unhappy with the verdict, but he will have to make do with it as Goldberg has decided to bump this event and it's fans. What B.S. is that? Why in the world would Paul Heyman leave himself unprotected from Ryan Walters 10 days before the PPV?' Chris X wondered.
Sabu w/Rob Van Dam & Bill Alfonso vs. Jake Taproot w/'Acid' Matt Hyson.
Sabu & Taproot duelled with chairs in the early going which ended when Sabu threw the chair into Taproot's face. Sabu retrieved his fallen chair and slammed it back into Taproot's face with a standing Arabian Facebuster. Hyson got up on the apron, but RVD kicked Hyson's legs, causing him to slip off the apron. Sabu set up for the Triple Jump, but saw something in the aisleway and dove into that. It was Chris Sabin he had took out. Taproot gave chase after the death-defying maniac and dragged him back to the ring by his hair. Taproot piledrove Sabu on top of a chair. Matt Hyson got back up and began assaulting RVD with a singapore cane he found under the ring. Taproot unfolded a chair and set it up in the middle of the ring before setting Sabu on the top rope. Taproot followed and set up for the Rootcore, but Sabu threw himself backwards, smashing Taproot into the chair. Sabu was about to go for the Atomic Arabian Facebuster, but Chris Sabin rolled in and caught him with the Cradle Shock. Sabin then placed Taproot on top of Sabu. The referee counted 1-2-3 for a surprise upset.
The winner is Jake Taproot.
Hyson & Sabin hauled Taproot's limp body out of the ring while Fonzie & Van Dam checked on their fallen comrade. Suddenly, Goldberg's music played. So much for being at home. Goldberg was avoided by Hyson, Sabin & Taproot. The monster, still with the steel plate he used to take out Kevin Smith with, rushed into the ring and destroyed RVD with a steel plate-aided spear. He pie-faced Fonzie out of the way and grabbed Sabu, lifting Sabu to his feet. Goldberg pressed Sabu in the air and dumped him through the timekeeper's table at ringside. It seemed Goldberg took Kevin Smith's comments about Sabu badly. Goldberg stormed out of the ring, flipping off fans across the way. He stared at the stage and the stare was returned by a ticked-off Ralph Summers. Summers sprinted down the ramp to attack Goldberg, but Goldberg mowed him down with the steel plate-aided spear.
'Looks like I'll have to eat my words. Paul Heyman is very well-protected should Ryan Walters attempt to invade again. In other news, folks: Mutt Soldier Z has just finished having stitches for the horrific back wound inflicted upon him by Matt Hyson at FSW PPV Slam Jam. He should be back at the Pay-Per-View. If Hyson gets word of this, he'll go nuts. Secondly, the Dangerous Alliance have been working dates for the DCW promotion and should be getting a Double Dragon Tag title shot very soon. Lastly, we will host a UK-only PPV after As Good As It Gets known as British Breakout. The UK title will be defended against the winner of the Taipei Fists of Death Cage match at As Good As It Gets.' Chris X announced.
Non-title match: John Cena vs. Balls Mahoney.
Cena made short work of Balls Mahoney in this slugfest with a combination of a lead-pipe shot, the Protoplex, the Killswitch & the Death Brand STF. Mahoney tapped out after putting up one hell of a fight with the submission.
The winner is UK Champion John Cena.
Cyrus came out to congratulate his charge on the victory with his tag team champions in tow, but they were jumped by the Crazy Cats. Red Tiger grabbed Jerry Lynn by the hair and tossed Lynn into the ring post. Marc Sylvester pounded Rhino with stomps to the gut and forearms to the face from a mounted position. Cena attempted to assert himself, but the Crazy Cats were long gone... although Balls Mahoney wasn't. With his custom-made steel chair. Mahoney blasted Cena over the head a couple of times before leaving him laying.
Backstage, Sabu is seen being carried to an ambulance by his friends RVD & Fonzie whilst protesting against the help. Then we are taken to Matt Hyson's locker room where he is talking to Chris Sabin & Jake Taproot.
Global Revolution Rematch: Paul Birchill vs. 'Black Jaguar' Butch Bingbong vs. Fade
This Triple Threat Elimination bout began with Birchill & Fade pounding Butch Bingbong. Butch fought back and drilled them both with consecutive Jaguar Drivers. As Butch went to pick up Birchill, Fade revived and slammed Butch's face into the mat with the Fade to Black. Birchill turned on Fade and blasted him with the C-4. Butch laid in wait as Birchill ascended the top rope. Star Dog ran out and crotched the unsuspecting heel on the post. Butch took the opening and executed the Avalanche Jaguar Driver from the top rope. Birchill was eliminated. Birchill ran after Star Dog through the crowd. Fade went right back to work on his larger adversary, 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, but Butch rushed over and crushed Fade's head with a steel chair. Butch hit a falling Jaguar Driver for the 1-2-3. It is the second time Butch has defeated these two men in what was a carbon copy of their first match.
The winner is Butch Bingbong.
Birchill was furious at Star Dog for messing up his victory. Birchill ran back into the ring and drilled Butch with the Cut-Throat Psycho Driver, his new finisher. Not content with that, Birchill picked up Fade and hit him with the Cut-Throat Psycho Driver before grabbing a microphone.
'Star Dog, you imbecile! You have awoken another part of the rage within me by doing what you did! You will fall victim to me and bleed inside that cage! Count your ten days because they're going to be your last!' Birchill declared.
Yoshihiro Magma vs. Mark Trevor Orton w/Cyrus.
Japan's own Yoshi Magma went at it with Mark Trevor Orton in a submission-based battle for 25 minutes, pulling off stretch after stretch after stretch after stretch. In the closing moments, Orton went for the MTO, but Magma reversed it and hit the Burning Avalanche. Suddenly, Taz ran out, only to get a Burning Avalanche himself. Taz bailed to the back. Orton waited for Magma to turn back around before Orton hit the MTO. Magma kicked out and quickly finished off the younger Orton with the Burning Avalanche and Magma Splash for a 3-count.
The winner is Yoshihiro Magma.
Magma chased Taz to the backstage area, but Taz was thrown back out onto the stage. The World Champion Randy Orton had got to him. The champion ignored Taz, leaving him for Magma. Instead, the Legend Killer went after his brother with viscous punches to the face. Taz escaped Magma by smashing the Japanese wrestler with a nearby pipe while Mark Orton bailed by kicking Randy Orton in the nuts and running away. Taz walked down to the ring and the match was on.
Non-Title match: 'The Legend Killer' Randy Orton vs. 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz.
The champion and his opponent beat the hell out of each other with every style of wrestling possible until Taz decided it was time to take Orton to the limit with his variety of Tazplexes. Orton fired back with a trifecta of Germans as a tribute to his buddy Chris Benoit. Mark Orton came back to try and attack his brother again, but Yoshi Magma was there to stop him. Randy Orton went for the Rotating Killer Overkill, but was caught in a Capture Tazplex. Taz went for the Tazmission, but Orton pushed him away and dropped him with the RKO Cutter. One more time was the charm as the RCW World champion hit the Rotating Killer Overkill without obstruction for the victory.
The winner is Randy Orton.
Orton & Magma brawled with their enemies as Repentance went off the air.
