RCW Thursday Night Repentance (April Week 4).
The music of the Network played as Cyrus came down parading the RCW World championship belt his new charge Mark Trevor Orton had stolen from his brother Randy on Monday Night Livewire. Orton grabbed a microphone from Jim West.
'A few weeks ago, I told the world that I would face my brother for the RCW World title at As Good As It Gets. Randy, how does it feel like going limp for the first time since you turned 13? Now, I'm not the boy who cried Wolf… I'm the ignored superstar who told the truth! I was so sick and tired of hearing about how my brother had quickly become a star… when the only thing he had done was bow down to the 'King of Kings' to get a push! Randy, I did something about it. I took the 6-figure salary that the XNN Network wanted to pay me and followed orders when I put your ass through a table. I did all that for a thousand-dollar bonus and a World Heavyweight championship match at the PPV. Randy, you better get ready… because I will be the one who will kill your legend when we go one-on-one!' Orton explained. He was then blindsided by Randy Orton, who had a lead pipe in hand. The reigning World Champion then hit the RKO Cutter on Cyrus and took back his World title belt. The cameras went to a commercial break.
Star Dog was seen with Starlette Stacy Keibler in Paul Heyman's office.
'Boss, I need a favour from you. You saw what Birchill put me and Stacy through on Monday Night, right? I'm not standing for that. He tries to kidnap my girlfriend and tries to put me in the hospital; he's going to pay the price! I want his ass in any kind of match you want, boss… at As Good As It Gets!' Dog demanded. Heyman responded to the raving wrestler.
'Birchill came to me about a match with you too because he was smart enough to realise that you would come crashing into my office and demanding a match. I've decided that there is only one way to settle this: in a cage. 6-sides of Steel. But we're not going to be doing this in a mandatory pro wrestling steel cage rules match, oh no… we're going to do this the Revolution way! That's why, at As Good As It Gets, you'll be facing Paul Birchill in a Taipei Fists of Death Cage match! You win by pinfall or you lose by pinfall, simple as that! Oh, and you'll have shards of glass glued to your taped fists to use against your opponent! But remember... you owe me one!' Heyman announced. Dog & Stacy left the room.
Yoshihiro Magma vs. Kevin Smith.
Magma demolished Smith in the early going with some viscous knee strikes to the head. Ralph Summers tried to interfere on his partner's behalf, but got a Burning Avalanche Brainbuster for his troubles. Smith went for the Manhattan Driver but slumped to his knees clutching the back of his head. Magma climbed to the second rope and came off with an amazing Shining Wizard. Magma watched Taz on the ramp and then smashed Smith down with the Burning Avalanche. Taz crossed his arms as Magma went up top and pinned Smith with the Magma Splash for 1-2-3.
The winner is Yoshihiro Magma.
Taz launched a middle finger at Magma before walking out. Magma bowed to the fans before leaving as well.
Carlito & CM Punk vs. The Crazy Cats.
Carlito unveiled his new 'and cool' partner CM Punk for this friendly bout with the No.1 contenders to the Global Tag Team championship at As Good As It Gets. A quick, but fun match ended when Marc Sylvester countered the Pepsi Plunge with a Dragon Suplex for the win.
The winners are the Crazy Cats.
After the match, Jerry Lynn & Rhino attacked their contenders. Rhino piledrove Sylvester through a table at ringside while Lynn nailed Red Tiger with the Stroke before they left parading around their titles.
After another commercial break, Who Let The Dogs Out? By the Baha Men played as the Dog House arrived. It was announced on the RCW Website that DJ would be one of 6 men trying to capture the UK championship against Mechaclaw, Grizzly of XLX, Batista, Balls Mahoney & the champion John Cena in a King of the Mountain Ultimate X match at As Good As It Gets.
DJ Diddy Dog vs. Grizzly.
The big man from the Xtreme Lions' Exchange dominated most of the match with his size and weight advantages. But in the end, it wasn't his size that won the match for him. It was John Cena's attack on the entire Dog House with a chair that distracted DJ long enough to allow Grizzly to recover from the Guitar Driver and pin DJ with a swinging bearhug slam for the 1-2-3.
The winner is Grizzly.
Cena got in the ring to attack Grizzly with the chair, but was cut off by a chairshot from Balls Mahoney out of nowhere. Balls went to strike Grizzly, but was nailed by the swinging bearhug slam. Batista ran down and hit the Bombshell on Grizzly, but was attacked by Mechaclaw. Claw hit the Bulldozer Bomb on Batista and the brawl degenerated. The champion did his best to get away, but couldn't escape the riot of his PPV challengers. It took security to break up the fight.
The cameras went to Star Dog's locker room. Starlette Stacy was in there alone, but was grabbed and pinned to the ground by the stalking Brit Paul Birchill.
'Hello, my lovely. God, you do look nice… but I'm not here to complement people. I'm here to fight. In your case, I want you to pass on a message to Star Dog. Tell him that at the PPV, I'm going to paint the floor red with his blood. I'm going to use his bladder and spine for a mop to do so. And once that's all set and done, I might kidnap his girlfriend again... and have my way with her.' The sick Birchill cackled before leaving the locker room.
RCW Junior Heavyweight title match: Champion Mark Trevor Orton w/Cyrus vs. 'The Shuffle' Dan Wilson.
The Shuffle tried so hard to avoid the interference of Network stooge Cyrus, but let it get on his nerves so much that he was unable to scout the champion. Orton kept Wilson grounded with side headlocks and neck-cranking submissions. Wilson fought back with punches to the gut and a leaping shoulder block. Wilson locked in the Grand Gamble, but let it go to punch Cyrus off of the apron. That allowed the champion to hit a clothesline and running knee drop. Wilson kipped up when Orton wasn't looking and landed a picture perfect Superkick. Wilson dragged Orton to his feet and nailed the Blackjack Buster. He went for the Wildcard, but was caught and driven down with a powerslam for 2. The music of Randy Orton hit and the World Heavyweight champion invaded the ring. Mark couldn't see his brother, but fell to the RKO Cutter when he turned around. The World champion went over to the downed Cyrus and placed a boot on him. Dan Wilson regained vision and executed the Wildcard. Mark Orton tapped out to the Grand Gamble a short time later, giving Wilson the victory and the Junior Heavyweight title.
The winner and NEW RCW Junior Heavyweight champion, 'The Shuffle' Dan Wilson.
Randy shook hands with the new champion and celebrated with him on the ramp while Mark Orton flipped out in the ring. Mark then grabbed the referee and nailed him with an MTO.
