Chapter 4: Wrestle Haven Matches 1-5
Pyrotechnics went off on the stage and up the ramp as Wrestle Haven officially started and went on the air. As soon as the pyrotechnics stopped, Vince McMahon's music sounded through the arena and on the Titantron his entrance video plays. The confident co-owner walked down to the ring with a microphone and a smug look on his face. Vince climbed into the ring and brought the microphone up to his mouth. All the 78,873 fans in the arena were unusually quiet as Mr. McMahon prepared to talk. Vince said that he would like to welcome everybody to the wrestling spectacle that even overshadowed Wrestlemania. Furthermore, he said that tonight with the help of Big Show, he would teach his ungrateful son and his selfish, egotistical business partner a lesson they would never forget. Vince closed his speech by stating that Shane and Ric would have no chance in hell! Vince dropped the microphone in the ring as his music started again,
exited the ring, and then headed backstage.
The entire audience remained silence in anticipation of the beginning of Wrestle Haven. Too Cool's entrance movie and music cut through the silence as Scotty 2 Hotty, Grand Master Sexay, and Rikishi walked out onto stage then headed down to the ring. Once inside the ring, the reunited group started dancing up a storm, only to be interrupted by the nWo's music and entrance video. X-Pac and Justin Credible walked out onto the stage and waited. A few seconds later, the Hurricane's music started and his video appeared on the Titantron. The Hurricane walked out on stage and stood between X-Pac and Justin Credible. They took a second or two to converse, then all of a sudden they all ran down to the ring. The referee signaled for the bell and it rang, starting the first match of Wrestle Haven. The six men fought for a while until the referee separated them. Scotty 2 Hotty started out in the ring against X-Pac. The two men scored blows on each other for about thirty seconds, and then Scotty surprised X- Pac with a kick to the stomach, making X-Pac bend over, grabbing his stomach in pain. Scotty climbed to the top of the turnbuckle and came down with an elbow that was supposed to hit X-Pac in the back of the head, but X- Pac surprised Scotty at the last second and threw a punch at Scotty's mid section, which caused Scotty to flip in the air. X-Pac pinned Scotty. The referee counted. 1-2-! As the referee's hand was coming down for the three, Scotty got one of his shoulders up. X-Pac was furious. He had been sure that he would have been able to win after that blow. He took out his frustrations by stomping on the downed Scotty. X-Pac picked Scotty up then kicked him in his mid section. This caused Scotty to bend over in pain and X-Pac was about to X Factor Scotty, but just as he was about execute the move, Rikishi ran at X-Pac and side kicked him in the throat, sending him crashing to the mat. The referee instant walked over and made Rikishi get out of the ring. Scotty dragged X-Pac over near the ropes by his corner and picked him up. He hit him with a forearm, then ran to the ropes, bounced off of them, and did his facebuster on X-Pac. The fans knew what was coming next. Scotty went wild and started doing The Worm while the fans screamed, "W-O-R-M! Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh! Ooh, Ooh, Ooh." Scotty came down with a chop across the throat, completing The Worm. Scotty pinned X-Pac and when the referee went down to count, the four men who were not in the match got involved. Rikishi struck down Justin Credible and Hurricane Helms and Grand Master Sexy both went flying out of the ring after Grand Master Sexay connected with a strong clothesline. The referee dropped down and counted. 1-2-3! The referee signaled for the bell and Too Cool's music started up again. Rikishi was leaving the ring, but Grand Master Sexay and Scotty insisted he stay and dance. They all went to the middle of the ring, the music started again at the beginning, and started dancing. Suddenly in the middle of the dance, Grand Master Sexay pushed Rikishi into Scotty 2 Hotty, which knocked Scotty out of the ring and unconscious, and then Grand Master Sexay slipped on brass knuckles and straddled Rikishi and started punching him with the hand that the brass knuckles were on. After no time at all, Rikishi had been busted open and blood was flowing freely. Music that had never been heard by the fans before started and Grand Master Sexay exited the ring and went back stage.
Once backstage, Michael Cole confronted Grand Master Sexay and asked him about his actions. Grand Master Sexay said that Rikishi and Scotty had been holding him back and when Scotty would not even make an attempt to tag in anybody, he got mad. Michael Cole then asked Grand Master Sexay if this meant he was jealous, and Grand Master Sexay punched Cole in the head with the hand with the brass knuckles, causing Cole to fall down. Grand Master Sexay then walked off.
The Titantron remains black but then shows the words Last Monday in white. The word then faded and a clip of what happened Monday night on Raw appeared. Jerry "The King" Lawler and J.R. were commentating on the main event when Paul Heyman came out of the crowd and attacked King. He took a microphone, got in King's face, and told King that he was better at commentating than King was and that King had stolen his job. The clip faded and the words Last Thursday appeared in white. Then a clip showed King in Heyman's face saying at Wrestle Haven, they would have a match and the winner would be the commentator at the events that King commentates at. Paul Heyman accepted and turned around, walking away, but King attacked him from behind and got a few good kicks in before referees separated them.
The King's music started and his video appeared and he made his way to the ring. He then got inside and waited. Seconds later, Paul Heyman came out to music nobody had heard and no video. He got in the ring and the referee signaled for the bell. The two men stared each other down and then they locked up. King scored a knee to the gut and then used a suplex to take Heyman down. Heyman got up sluggishly and was knocked right back down. King went for a pin. The referee counted. 1-2-! The referee's hand had almost come down completely when Heyman kicked out. King pulled Heyman up, but Heyman used a low blow, which made King fall down and writhe in pain. Paul Heyman then did the unexpected. He locked King in a Boston crab. Heyman released one of King's legs, leaving him in a half-crab and then Heyman used his free arm to get under King's neck then pulled back. This submission hold had never been seen before. Heyman was so content with his hold that he did not notice that King had grabbed the ropes and the referee started counting. When the referee got to five, Heyman still had not heard anything. The ref told him to release the hold and since he had not heard anything, Heyman refused. The referee had no choice except to disqualify Heyman and called for the bell. The King's music started, but he was still in the submission hold. Paul Heyman was irate and broke the hold and then talked to the ref. The ref told him what had happened and Paul Heyman had a look on his face of pure dismay then realization. Paul Heyman exited dismayed. King was still in the ring clutching his neck. Medics came down to attend to King. He was taken away on a stretcher and then he was taken to the hospital.
The match for the Light-Heavyweight and European Titles was scheduled to be next, but the Titantron showed what had happened minutes before Sunday Night Heat kicked off. It showed Spike Dudley and Tajiri talking to each other, but then out of no where, a person dressed all in black with a black mask attacked both men viciously with a steel chair. After he had knocked both men to the floor and made sure they would not be able to compete for a while, he took the European and Light-Heavyweight Titles and raised them above his head. The assailant dropped the title belts on their respectful owners. He then proceeded to slowly take off his mask and it was Funaki! He brought a microphone to his mouth and though he was definitely saying something clearly different, the fans hear him say, "AH HA HA HA. I, Funaki will one day own these title belts. But neither of these fools will have the other person's belt tonight. Indeed." Funaki then threw down the microphone and then walked away leaving the two men in the ring. A minute later, medics came to attend to Tajiri and Spike Dudley and they were taken to the hospital that was nearby.
The fans got quiet waiting for what was going to come next. Minutes later, Drowning Pool came out and there was a deafening cheer throughout the arena. Drowning Pool performed their hit song "Bodies" and then thanked the crowd and left. Puddle of Mud was next to perform and they played their song "Blurry" and just like Drowning Pool, they thanked the fans. The last band to perform was Saliva and they decided to play two songs. First, they played "Click Click Boom" and then they played "Superstar". Saliva thanked the fans for their support then exited the stage.
The next match on the card was a triple threat battle. Test came out to his music and video and entered the ring. The fans knew that Test's immunity was up, but just to see what he would pull, Test was left out about the information regarding his immunity. Albert came out next and he got in the ring. Test and Albert stared each other down and had a few choice words to say about each other. Scott Hall came out but it was not to nWo music. Scott Hall had a microphone in his hands and brought it up to his mouth and he talked about how the nWo had been a total disappointment and as of this night, he was flying solo. Kevin Nash and X- Pac suddenly appeared out of no where and started attacking Scott Hall with chairs. The referees backstage could not get out there in time to help Scott Hall, so after Kevin Nash and X-Pac left, medics came out and rushed him to the hospital. This left a match between Albert and Test. The ref signaled for the bell and the match was on. The two started out by shoving and pushing and then they started to have words with each other. There was more pushing but suddenly they hugged and shook hands. Test asked for a microphone and when he received it he went on to say that Albert and he had settled their differences and were once again tag team. Albert took the microphone and told the fans not to worry because he had left Scotty as a tag team partner. The two left the ring together as the old T & A music started again.
Michael Cole was backstage interviewing Ric Flair and Shane McMahon. Cole asked them what they thought would happen during the match. The team was confident that they would wipe the floor with Vince and Big Show.
Ric Flair and Shane McMahon came out to Shane's music and they went to the ring. Mr. McMahon and Big Show came out separately and they entered the ring together. The ref signaled for the bell. Ric Flair and Vince McMahon started out in the ring. They traded blows and Vince got in a suplex. He then straddled Flair and threw punches at Flair's head until the ref forced Vince off of Flair. Vince walked over to Big Show and was about to tag him when Flair turned him around and Irish whipped him into the corner that had Shane in it. Ric Flair started his chops and in between each one did his "Whooooooo". The ref counted Flair's chops and after Flair had ten chops, the ref told him to stop. Vince collapsed and Flair tagged in Shane. Shane went to work on his father immediately. Shane did all sorts of stuff to his father and eventually they both ended up outside the ring. Shane beat Vince up some more and then he took everything off the Spanish announce table. Shane rolled Vince onto the announce table and climbed to the top rope. Shane failed to see Big Show sneak out of sight. Shane jumped with an elbow that was going to be meant to put his father through the table, but Big Show came out of no where and grabbed Shane McMahon by the throat in mid-air and chokeslammed him to the ground. Shane McMahon looked up dazed as Big Show went back to his corner. Vince rolled off the table, staggered to the ring, and slid into the ring. After taking time to get up and regain his composure, Vince tagged in Big Show. Vince went to the spot on the apron where Big Show had been standing seconds before. Big Show went over the top rope and picked up Shane and raised him over his head. Big Show then threw Shane over the top rope and into the ring. Big Show slid into the ring a covered Shane. The ref counted. 1-2-3. Ric Flair was about to attack Big Show to break the pin, but Vince met him in between and made sure Flair did not break up the pin. The ref signaled for the bell. Vince McMahon's music played and Vince walked with Big Show up the ramp. Vince got a microphone and said that he had won the match without any help and he had taught Shane and Flair a lesson they would never forget, just like he said he would. Big Show looked at him very angry and grabbed Vince by the throat. Big Show lifted Vince in the air and walked over to the left of the stage. Big Show saw what he was looking for. Big Show threw Vince down off the stage and through a table on the floor below the stage. Big Show's music played and he walked backstage angrily. Kevin Kelly confronted Big Show and asked him why he had chokeslammed Vince McMahon off the stage. Big Show told Kelly that Vince had made the mistake of saying that he had won the match by himself. Big Show went on to say that Shane McMahon would have drove an Vince through the table with one of his vicious elbow drops if Big Show had not saved him. Big Show walked off to his locker room. So far Wrestle Haven has been awesome even though one of the matches had to be canceled because of events that happened seconds before Sunday Night Heat.
