RCW Livewire (April Week 1).
It didn't take long for the fans to jump out of their seats as 'King of Kings' hit on the PA system. But it wasn't Triple H who came out… it was Ryan Walters, adorned with Triple H's custom-made king's attire and trademark water bottle. He was followed by his partner for the interpromotional handicap match at FSW Slam Jam against Triple H, Paul Heyman. 'The 911' imitated Triple H in a way that provoked some laughs from the RCW faithful. Walters grabbed the mike.
'I-uh am-uh the… puh-leaze! I don't know how Triple H can wear this thing: IT SUCKS!' Walters cursed playfully, tossing the King's robe out of the ring.
'A fan told me a joke the other night. He said, "Triple H and Stephanie went out with their baby in a baby-roller. Stephanie wanted Triple H to push the baby, but Triple H said he couldn't because the baby was too small and couldn't work." Truer words were never spoken, even if it was a joke. The point is that me and Paul E. are going to kick Triple H's $# back into the retirement home where he belongs at Slam Jam, the so-called first-ever Party/Mosh-pit PPV. Another word to Tripper: get in shape!' Walters laughed with Paul Heyman.
After the commercial break ended, Firefly made his entrance. It was time for his first defence of the RCW Junior Heavyweight title. Mutt Soldier Z soon followed and the match was on.
RCW Junior Heavyweight championship match: Champion Firefly vs. Mutt Soldier Z.
Partners became opponents in this match. Mutt had to watch out for 'Acid' Matt 'Spike Dudley' Hyson because the two had altercations on the FSW PPV and the following FightNight taping. Mutt Soldier Z entered a fantastic, but tentative performance against Firefly as he watched his back. Following a kick-out from the Fire Thunder Driver, Mutt blasted Firefly with a barrage of suplexes from every position. Firefly ducked the Mutter and hit a thrust kick, but Mutt wouldn't stay down. In the end, Soldier pounded Firefly with a Top-Rope Tiger Bomb followed by the Mutter to take the match and the Junior Heavyweight crown. He and Firefly shook hands afterwards. Predictably, Matt Hyson ran in, but was sent packing by the RCW crew.
The winner and NEW Junior Heavyweight champion, Mutt Soldier Z.
After the Junior Heavyweights cleared out, Cyrus, flanked by the Network, came down to the ring. Cyrus grabbed the mike.
'The Network is taking control! What you see before you is the most powerful elite in the wrestling business today. Our surprise benefactor has assured us that the tag team titles are going to be on the waists of Jerry Lynn & Rhino tonight. In conclusion, I will be at FSW Slam Jam on PPV with a special proposal for Tino, the FSW headcheese.' Cyrus explained.
Triple Threat match for the RCW Global Tag Team championship: Champions The Crazy Cats vs. DJ Diddy Dog & John Cena vs. Jerry Lynn & Rhino w/Cyrus.
The match got off to a flying start as Rhino brawled with Marc Sylvester, Lynn went after Cena and Red Tiger kept up with DJ Diddy Dog. The brawling continued until all wrestlers in the match were on the turnbuckles. Red Tiger was the unfortunate recipient of the Tower of Doom Suplex/Powerbomb mega-combo. Rhino hit the Rhino Driver on Red for the 1-2-3. Marc Sylvester went ballistic on Rhino, which only earned him the Stroke and a first-class ticket to the medics. But the rappers of the Dog House were still alive. Rhino & Lynn pounded DJ as Cena recovered in the corner. Lynn hit the Stroke followed by Rhino's Gore. Cena went for a chair and Cyrus' troops bailed to the outside. DJ got up with help from Cena, but that help was quickly shoved down his throat when Cena swung the steel chair at DJ and left DJ laying with blood pouring from his mask. Cena shook hands with Cyrus and shouldered DJ. The F-U followed, allowing 'The New F'N Show' and 'The Big F'N Deal' to bring the tag team titles to the Network.
The winners and NEW Global Tag Team champions, Jerry Lynn & Rhino.
Cena spit at the crowd, but they cheered him furiously. A far cry from the hated-babyface days of yore. On Cyrus' orders, Cena continued to torture DJ by synching in the STF-U after hitting another F-U. The rest of the Dog House came rushing in to deal with the traitor, but he was long gone.
Street Fight: 'Acid' Matt Hyson vs. 'The Shuffle' Dan Wilson.
Jake Taproot was banned from ringside during this fight… not that it mattered. Wilson missed the Wildcard twice before falling victim to the Spike DDT and a devastating Acid Drop.
The winner is Matt Hyson.
Paul Heyman marched out as Hyson went to leave.
'You're not going anywhere, pal… because you've been booked twice tonight. Get back in the damn ring, because you've got another street fight!' Heyman ordered. 'Call 911' hit and Ryan Walters came out. Hyson was shocked.
Street Fight: 'The 911' Ryan Walters vs. 'Acid' Matt Hyson.
The former Revolution champion tore Hyson limb from limb as soon as the bell rang. A quick 911 Tornado Bomb and Katahijime Sleeper later, Hyson was out cold.
The winner is Ryan Walters.
Jake Taproot walked out to aid his tag team partner, but all that did was earn him a Spike DDT from a raging Hyson. 'Acid' then bolted from the arena in his corvette.
Back in the ring, The Emblem addressed the public. Nelson Cracker took the mike.
'I am here to make a challenge to 5 FSW stars that think they're big shots. You got Ronnie B. Pain, a guy who shares a brain with the nearest rat and can't wrestle for crap. Then comes Shane V. Pain, a guy who deludes himself into thinking that he's a good wrestler. Uh-uh! He's a twat is what he is! Hellfire was born from a volcano. No wonder he's dumb as hell! Brimstone sounds like Hellfire, only pissed on! And then we come to El Diablo. Is it just me or is that tub of lard whining and complaining about being screwed all the time? Diablo, if you 5 pieces of crap accept our challenge for a 5-on-5 elimination tag match at Project Revolution, we're not bringing condoms with us… we're bringing devastation. The Emblem is going to whip your scrawny $#E$ and that's all we got to say about that!' Cracker ranted.
After the commercial break ended, it was reported that the Emblem's challenge had been accepted for Project Revolution. Paul Heyman joined the announce table for the main event.
Revolution Heavyweight title match: Champion Batista vs. Balls Mahoney.
The man who earned himself the No.1 contender spot by pinning the Revolution champion in the non-title 3-way on Repentance that also involved FSW champion Tribal Warrior. Balls did his best not to be denied on this night, but Batista had his A-Game on. Balls tried to put down 'The Animal' with several chairshots and the Nutcracker Suite, but the champion wasn't about to lose his belt to a freelance competitor. Batista went for the Batista Bomb, but Balls wriggled out and hit a Superkick. Mahoney went outside and retrieved a table… and a bottle of lighter fluid. A burning table was now in the ring. Balls wanted to hit the Nutcracker through it, but Batista escaped and hit a Powerbomb on Balls through the burning table. Batista quickly pinned Balls after the referee had put out the flames.
The winner and STILL Revolution Heavyweight champion, Batista.
'The Animal' grabbed a mike.
'If any of you boys from FSW want a shot at me and the Revolution title, bring it on. I'll be waiting at Project Revolution for you!' Batista said.
The show closed with the same Project Revolution promo shown a week ago.
