RCW Presents Thursday Night Repentance (March Week 2).
'Welcome to Repentance, everyone! I'm Chris X, along with the Brooklyn, New York badboy Tazz!' Chris X introduced.
'Thanks, my man! We have another great card of action tonight. On the card, 'Acid' Matt Hyson, who blasted AJ Styles to advance in the Junior Heavyweight title tournament on Monday Night, will team with Jake Taproot to take on Mapleleaf Phantom and Wildstaff Nightmare. Also, in the final first round match of said tournament, Jushin Thunder Liger takes on Firefly! And let the monsters run the asylum: it's Butch Bingbong against the massive Grizzly of XLX in a Monster's Party match!' Tazz added.
'That's not all! Captain Paul Birchill and Fade will settle their feud in a First Blood match and the Revolution champion returns to action tonight in a DCW Double Dragon Tag Team title match with 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels against the newly-crowned champions Rob Van Dam & Sabu!' Chris X concluded.
1st Round match: Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Firefly.
Jushin walked to the ring with New Japan allies Gedo and Jado watching his back. Firefly came out to the sound of Breaking Benjamin's 'Firefly'. Liger was tentative to get it on with Firefly, forcing his Fire-clad opponent to grab Jushin's long black locks and pull him into a front facelock. A slew of submissions followed, including a Deathlock STF from Liger. Then Firefly jumped around with a flurry of top rope clotheslines and springboard DDTs. Gedo & Jado tried to get in the ring, but Mutt Soldier Z out of nowhere hauled them out and delivered a pair of Mutters to them. Firefly charged Liger in the corner. Liger attempted to jump over, but was caught on Firefly's shoulder. Firefly then delivered the Fire Thunder Driver to take the win. It was now Matt Hyson, Dan Wilson, Black Tiger & Firefly advancing to the semi-finals of the RCW Junior Heavyweight title tournament.
Backstage, Kevin Smith had found Red Tiger and started beating the crap out of him with a tire iron he had concealed in his denim jacket. Marc Sylvester came over to aid his partner, but a waiting Ralph Summers cut him off. Smith and Summers sent Marc Sylvester sailing into a nearby vending machine. Red Tiger staggered to his feet and was viscously gored into a buffet table by a rampaging Rhino, the new ally of the Bikebrakers.
'We'll see you chumps at Cyber Sunday!' Smith yelled in Sylvester's ear.
1st Blood match: Captain Paul Birchill vs. Fade.
Birchill didn't waste any time going to work on his rival with a chair and a handful of his pebble necklaces. Fade fought back with chairshots of his own before missing a swing and being subjected to the Uranage, aptly renamed 'Walking The Plank'. Slim of XLX sprinted out, but was also hit by Walking The Plank. Nate followed, but was also floored. Birchill then hit a viscous chairshot on Fade, who went backwards into the referee Jim Keller. Birchill hit another Walking The Plank on Fade, who was bleeding profusely. The referee was down so there was no-one to call first blood. Out of the crowd came Jerry Lynn, followed by Cyrus, his old ECW manager. Lynn got into the ring and assaulted Birchill. Cyrus directed traffic as Jerry Lynn laid out Birchill with a viscous Cradle Piledriver on a chair. Birchill was busted open. Cyrus and his personal doctor stitched up Fade, wiping the blood from his face. Referee Jim Keller came to and rang the bell once he saw Birchill's blood-red face. Lynn resumed his assault on Birchill once XLX hauled Fade from the ring. With another Cradle Piledriver, Lynn asserted his dominance. Butch Bingbong came out and began his own war with Jerry Lynn. Lynn tried his Cradle Piledriver, but Butch got out and went for the Jaguar Driver. Unfortunately, Cyrus hit Butch over the head with his phone, allowing Jerry Lynn to escape the Jaguar Driver and hit the Cradle Piledriver. Cyrus called for help. The Bikebrakers and Rhino came out with a table in tow. The Tag Team champions set the table beside the ring and Rhino pulled Birchill to the apron. Then Rhino hit the Rhino Driver on Birchill through the table from the apron.
Monster's Party match: Butch Bingbong vs. Grizzly.
Capitalizing on Jerry Lynn's attack on Butch Bingbong, Grizzly came out and picked up the scraps. Following a combination of a piledriver, a powerbomb and the following Jungle Driver from the top rope, it looked like Butch was beat. But the camouflage-clad Bingbong persevered and kicked out. Butch revived his strength and began swinging his left fists. Grizzly cupped one with his gigantic paw and choke-slammed Butch viscously into the mat. Grizzly pulled Butch up by Butch's black Mankind mask and double-underhooked the arms. Then he twisted Butch around in mid-air and slammed Butch on his face in a move called the Lion's Fang. Butch seemed unaffected as he sprang to his feet and resumed hid fistfight with Grizzly. Grizzly hit a gut shot and went for another Lion's Fang, but Butch reversed it and hit the Jaguar Driver. Grizzly kicked out at two. Grizzly surprised Butch with a brainbuster as Butch dragged Grizzly to his feet. Grizzly climbed the turnbuckles, but Butch crotched him on the post and caught him with the Avalanche Jaguar Driver as Grizzly bent over in pain to take the win. Jerry Lynn then struck again as he ran in and laid out Butch with another Cradle Piledriver.
'I don't know why the New F'N show is here, but he's definitely made one hell of an impact.' Said Tazz.
'Acid' Matt Hyson & Jake Taproot vs. Mapleleaf Phantom & Wildstaff Nightmare.
The newcomers shined in this match as Hyson spent most of the ten minutes running from Phantom. Following a flurry of punches, kicks, suplexes and powerbombs, Phantom & Nightmare wrapped it up on Taproot when both of them dodged Taproot's Untapped Potential (Cross-Legged Reverse Death Valley Driver) and hit him with the Canadian Bomb Scare (Sit-down Pedigree) and Dreamcatcher (Cross-armed Piledriver). The Canadian flag-masked Phantom got the pinfall. Then Matt Hyson returned to the ring and pounded both masked men with an Acid Drop each. Taproot and Hyson then teamed up on Phantom with the Freefall. Before they could do any more damage, UK champion Mechaclaw jogged to the ring and ran off the Junior Heavyweights.
'Don't mess with an angry 550-pound dude!' Chris X warned.
Dragon Championship Wrestling presents the DCW Double Dragon Tag Team title match: Champions Rob Van Dam & Sabu w/Fonzie vs. 'The 911' Ryan Walters & 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels.
Walters started off with Van Dam. Fonzie's whistle ringed out around the arena. RVD took down the 911 with a double-leg takedown. Walters hit back with a DDT. RVD tags Sabu. Sabu tosses chair after chair at his opponents until he decided to finish the 911 early with the Triple Jump Moonsault, but Walters had a chair and cut that move short. RVD saw the opportunity to hit the Van Daminator and took it. 'The Wolf' came in and planted RVD with the Rabid Annihilation DDT. Fonzie passed Sabu a chair and Sabu smashed Michaels over the head with it. Then Sabu hit a Piledriver from the bodyslam position that he named the Arabian Tombstone. Walters synched in the Dragon Sleeper and hit the 911 Neckbreaker. RVD executed another Van Daminator. Michaels was placed in the corner and had a chair to his face held by Fonzie. RVD went coast-to-coast with the Van Terminator. Batista marched to the ring and pulled out Walters as Sabu put Michaels through a table with the Arabian Skull Crusher chair-aided legdrop from the top rope. RVD then wrapped it all up with a crushing 5-Star Frog Splash and retained the Double Dragon Tag Team titles. Batista dragged Walters to the ramp and knocked him out with a Batista Buster on the ramp. Walters' head bounced off of the ramp. Batista held the Revolution Heavyweight title high for all to see.
'What a message sent to Walters! We'll see you Monday Night!' Chris X concluded.
