RCW Presents Livewire on XNN (March Week 4).
The cameras immediately went to the RCW announce table.
'Welcome to the post-PPV Livewire, emanating tonight from Detroit, Michigan! I'm Joey Styles, along with Chris X and Tazz. Sam Shadow couldn't make it because of a commitment to his family. We wish him well.' Joey introduced.
'Thank you, Mr. Styles! Tonight, we have another card of action lined up for our loyal XNN fans… that is unless the Network wants to cut us off!' Chris X added.
'Tonight, we have some guests in the house! Five Star Wrestling has hosted some tremendous cards before RCW was in business and tonight, we are honored to have them host a tag team match: Dooms of the Abyss, Big Van Doom & Abyss, take on The Pains! Also, Cyrus looks to take the Revolution title belt back to his office as he backs up Detroit native Rhino in the Big F'N Deal's title match against the new champion Batista. Plus, former champion Ryan Walters sets the record straight as a guest on Carlito's Cabana!' Tazz explained.
Suddenly, Motorhead's King of Kings boomed out in the arena. Shane McMahon, the FSW color commentator, darted down to the FSW announce table before a throne rose up through the stage bearing the insignia of 'The Game'. Yes, Triple H had arrived. He took his place next to Shane at the FSW table.
UK Heavyweight title Triple Threat match: Champion Mechaclaw vs. Brock Lesnar vs. 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels.
Lesnar didn't want to wait for the champion's entrance to get him some of 'The Wolf'. The two traded suplexes and throws as Claw slowly made his way to the 6-sided ring. He double-chokeslammed his opponents immediately. Claw tried the Bulldozer Bomb on Michaels, but Lesnar attacked the 7-footer from behind. Brock tried the Final Verdict, but Michaels was there to stop the Verdict from being hit. Michaels went for the Rabid Annihilation on Brock, but Claw was there to stop him. The fans, including Shane McMahon & Triple H, roared with appreciation. For the next ten minutes it was back-and-forth with suplexes and DDTs until Lesnar was press-slammed from the ring. Michaels nailed a low blow on his massive foe and put him in the ground with the Rabid Annihilation DDT for the stolen win and the UK title.
The winner AND new UK champion, 'The Wolf' Matt Michaels.
A promo beamed out on the big screen.
'Watch out, RCW… I'm coming under the cover of darkness and I'm ready to deliver the Nightshade to anyone willing to tangle with… the Panther Master!'
The fans cheered the well-put-together promo before the Bikebrakers' theme song began (Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.)
Kevin Smith w/Cyrus & Ralph Summers vs. Star Dog w/Paul Birchill & Starlette Stacy.
Cyrus came out with an introduction for his charge, putting him over big and saying he was the featured attraction of the event. Star Dog bolted out, with his buccaneer partner and his long-legged babe behind him. Dog and Smith exchanged stiff punches to the face and kicks to the gut. Cyrus distracted the referee while Ralph Summers interfered, but it backfired. Birchill charged Summers and sent him flying with a monster spear. Star Dog went for a piledriver, but Kevin Smith kicked him in the face, ending Dog's offence. Kevin went for the Kevolution, but Dog twisted Smith into a Powerbomb. Summers tried to interfere again, but Birchill met him with Walking The Plank. As a last minute tactic, Cyrus grabbed Starlette Stacy by the hair, distracting Dog. After dispatching Birchill, the interfering Jerry Lynn turned Dog around and planted him with The Stroke. Smith crawled over and stole the pinfall.
The winner is Bikebraker Kevin Smith.
As the commercial break ended, the 6-sided ring was adorned with palm trees and a hammock. Carlito, coming off of a squash victory over Mapleleaf Phantom the night before, came out to deafening cheers.
'Welcome to Carlito's Cabana. It's the coolest thing to happen to this company since I debuted last night. And by the way, some fan asked me if I thought Eminem was cool. Emi-who? Whoop-dee-doo! A white boy who can talk like Snoop Dogg but looks like he was nerd of the month when he's on stage. That's Not Cool! Carlito could run circles around Eminem when it comes to being cool.' Carlito joked. The fans cheered.
'Just kidding. Eminem's fine. But getting back to wrestling, I witnessed one of the greatest cage matches ever when I returned to the back after I spit in the face of some Canadian loser who didn't want to be cool. And my guest knows quite a bit about that match. Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you 'The 911' Ryan Walters!' Carlito announced. 'Call 911' played out as the former Revolution champion walked out to a mixed reaction. He shook Carlito's hand and went up to the top rope to acknowledge the cheering section of the crowd.
'Thank you all very much! You all know I was carted to the hospital with a wound that required 16 stitches because of the brutal war last night. What I wasn't happy about was how the Network interfered. Jerry Lynn, you're the New F'N Show? Please. You're looking at the Whole F'N show! Rhino is the worst example of a theme park's dinosaur-costumed worker in a rage that requires gardening to keep him sane. And if the Bikebrakers want to play the game with me, I'll break Smith and then I'll break Summers. Getting to Cyrus, that little diaper stain on life couldn't even wrestle his wee-wee out of his pants to take a leak!' Walters laughed.
Rhino & Lynn didn't stand for those comments as they came down to administer a beating on Walters. Carlito came to Walters' aid by spitting apple in Rhino's face, but that earned him a Rhino Driver through a table at ringside. Walters was struck by The Stroke before 'I Walk Alone' hit on the P.A. system.
Revolution Heavyweight championship match: Champion Batista vs. 'The Big F'N Deal' Rhino w/Jerry Lynn.
Batista blasted Rhino with lariats right from the get-go and even speared Jerry Lynn. Rhino got up and Gored Batista, but 'The Animal' escaped the pin. Lynn got on the apron, but was pulled down by Carlito & Walters. Rhino hit a pair of Gores, but Batista refused to stay down. Rhino hit the Rhino Driver, but Batista escaped the pin again. Eventually, Batista put down Rhino with the Batista Buster followed by the Batista Bomb for the preservation of his title. Carlito & Walters sent Jerry Lynn flying through the stage set.
The winner AND still Revolution Heavyweight champion, Batista.
Five Star Wrestling presents Dooms of the Abyss vs. The Pains.
The FSW announce team took centre-stage as Big Van Doom & Abyss ploughed through Shane V. Pain & Ronnie B. Pain with the Burial Pound and the Black Hole Slam in 15 seconds. Their FSW rivals, El Diablo, Hellfire & Brimstone, came out and pounded the monsters. But it didn't take long for Tribal Warrior to aid the Dooms of the Abyss and blast all 5 of his opponents with Spinning Tomahawk Backbreakers.
The winners are the Dooms of the Abyss.
Another promo aired.
'From the Long Range of the Lonestar State comes a bullfighter looking to dominate in the wrestling world. He is TEXAS BULL. The meanest, the toughest and the downright nastiest of all Texans. Watch out, RCW… because this Bull's seeing red!'
Once the commercial break ended, the cameras were towards the RCW announce table.
'We now have confirmation from Paul Heyman in the truck that at Project Revolution in 4 weeks on PPV, it will be 'The 911' Ryan Walters teaming with 'The Caribbean Sensei of Cool' Carlito to take on the Network stooges Jerry Lynn & Rhino in a Tag Team brawl to go along with a Houston Deathmatch. The rules? Put your opponent through 2 tables and then you are eligible to drag them to the 6 corners of the ring. In this match will be the debuting Panther Master & Texas Bull! How do you like that?' Chris X lamented.
'Sounds like a good concept. I'll pitch that at the next FSW production meeting.' Triple H joked from the FSW table.
'You guys sit back and relax… because we're going to show you how Junior Heavyweight wrestling should be done!' Joey Styles declared.
'The FSW Light Division can match anything your guys can do.' Triple H insisted.
'This is coming from a guy who used to waste everyone's time with his endless promos back in 2003?' Chris X mockingly asked.
Mutt Soldier Z, 'The Shuffle' Dan Wilson & Firefly vs. Jushin Thunder Liger, 'Acid' Matt Hyson & Jake Taproot.
These 6 men gave it their all in this spotfest that included some inventive aerial tactics from Wilson, Firefly & Taproot and some plain brawling between Mutt Soldier Z & Jushin Thunder Liger. In the closing moments, Soldier and the Junior Heavyweight champion took out Hyson & Taproot at ringside with a pair of suicide sentons from the ring. Inside, Wilson nailed The Wildcard on Liger, followed by the Blackjack Buster. He motioned to the crowd that it was time to take a 'Grand Gamble'. He slapped the Grand Gamble submission on Liger and made the Japanese legend tap out.
The winners are RCW Junior Heavyweight champion Firefly, Mutt Soldier Z & Dan Wilson.
Paul Heyman marched out.
'Triple H, I heard your little comment on our Junior Heavyweight Division. I'm challenging you to go back to FSW and bring 3 of your best Light Division superstars to Repentance this Thursday for a little RCW Junior Heavyweight Division vs. FSW Light Division match! Their opponents are in the ring right now. So… choke on that, Helmsley!' Heyman taunted. The King of Kings stood up with an FSW microphone.
'You want to challenge me, you Jewish midget? Fine. This Thursday night, I'm bringing the Light Division champion Ultimo Dragon, Jack Evans & Petey Williams to RCW to prove we have the better high-flyers!' Triple H concluded as 'King of Kings' boomed out.
'Looks like we've got an interpromotional war flaring up between FSW's Light Division and RCW's Junior Heavyweight Division! We're going to be hosting the interpromotional match this Thursday! Good night, everybody!' Chris X explained.
Then a promo aired.
RCW Project Revolution.
