RCW Monday Night Livewire (May Week 1).
Paul Heyman walked to the ring with security in tow, carrying what looked to be contracts. The fans booed him out of the building for his tactics at Five Star Revolution in which he used a knife to stop a referee from counting the pinfall during the FSW World Heavyweight title match between Tribal Warrior & 'The 911' Ryan Walters. The fans chanted '911' with a passion. Heyman acquired a microphone from Jumpy Jim West as the crowd continued to chant for Ryan Walters with the numbers '911'. Heyman held up the contracts as he began to speak.
'Are you guys chanting 'I Want One'? Too bad... because there isn't a chance in hell I'd employ any of you!' Heyman laughed as the Detroit crowd booed.
'In all seriousness, though... I know what you're really chanting, but it's the same result as before: too bad... because I'll never employ him again for as long as he lives! Ladies & Gentlemen, in my hands I hold 2 contracts. One of them in particular is for Matt Hyson and Jake Taproot to sign, because I don't want to be held responsible for their destruction at the hands of the DCW Double Dragon Tag Team champions 'Mr. Monday Night' Rob Van Dam and the 'Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal' Sabu at As Good As It Gets. The second, on the other hand, is for a very big superstar to join RCW. Let me introduce you to that big star right now!' Heyman explained, pointing to the stage. Instead of the big star he asked for, Ryan Walters sprinted out and destroyed the security guards to get to his former employer. Walters jacked Heyman in the gut and set him up for the 911 Neckbreaker, but Walters was attacked from behind by a mystery masked man. The mask came off to reveal... Bill Goldberg! The former WCW & WWE World champion was on hand to protect Heyman! The fans were mixed in reaction. Heyman directed traffic for Goldberg before the bald superstar annihilated Walters with the Spear. Goldberg lifted Walters into a front facelock position, lifted him up in a vertical suplex and slammed him down with the Jackhammer Slam. Heyman recovered his microphone.
'Welcome back, you Arizona piece of crap! These fans asked for you and they got you... in pieces! If you want your job back, Ryan, you'll have to beat my new superstar Bill Goldberg at As Good As It Gets in a ladder match with your supposedly-new contract hanging above the ring. Believe me, Walters: you'll be the one calling 911 after Goldberg sends your sorry ass packing... and that's all I've got to say about that!' Heyman concluded as Goldberg's music played. Goldberg signed the RCW contract handed to him by Heyman before jabbing at Walters' eye with the pen. The cameras went to a commercial break.
Nate vs. Paul Birchill.
The leader of XLX was hard-pressed to beat the man who had spent the past week stalking Starlette Stacy Keibler and beating up her boyfriend Star Dog. True, he executed some slick moves such as the Stinger Splash and Suicide Flip, but that was all for nought as Birchill pinned him with the C-4 from the top rope for the 1-2-3.
The winner is Paul Birchill.
Almost as if on cue, Star Dog ran down with his hands in oven mittens. He stood face to face with Birchill and ripped the mittens off to reveal shards of glass glued to his taped fists. Like a coward, Birchill poked Dog in the eyes, kicked him in the nuts and ran off. Once Dog recovered, he was in pursuit of his rival.
A promo for the Five Star Revolution DVD release was shown.
Ten-man Tag Team Scramble match: The Network vs. The Crazy Cats, DJ Diddy Dog, Bloodhound & Redbark.
This was as close to a misorganised mess as you would expect it to be. The flurry of finishing moves at the end saved the match. Cena, Summers, Lynn & Smith hit their finishers from the apron to the floor on DJ, Red Tiger, Hound & Bark, leaving Rhino in the ring with Marc Sylvester. Rhino went for the Rhino Driver and hit it, setting up the Gore. But Sylvester dodged it, latching onto Rhino's waist, spinning around and clutching the arms in a full nelson. One Dragon Suplex later, Rhino was beat 1-2-3. After 45 minutes of action, the fans applauded.
The winners are the Crazy Cats, DJ Diddy Dog, Bloodhound & Redbark.
Cyrus was so enraged that he ordered his boys to attack the victors. Rhino revived himself and mowed down every one of his adversaries with the Gore.
After another commercial break, it was announced that 'Acid' Matt Hyson & Jake Taproot had signed the contract and will now face RVD & Sabu at As Good As It Gets. The fans were riled up after seeing Ryan Walters that they burst back into '911' chants. Walters was definitely over in Detroit, Michigan.
Backstage, Star Dog continued his search for his enemy Birchill. The glue under the glass on his fists began dripping off. He burst into his own locker room to see Stacy, but she wasn't there. He was more pissed off than before! Dog left the room in a huff and found a note outside the door. He read it to himself.
'Go to the ring.' He muttered. Without another word, Dog rushed to the ring. He grabbed a microphone and demanded Birchill get down to the ring for another fight. Instead a video played on the titantron. Birchill was shown outside a hotel room.
'Birchill District Productions presents... "1 Night in Room 28"! I am your host and superstar of said-attraction, Paul Birchill and you're guaranteed to see some R-Rated footage in this piece. I'll just grab the optical cable and unlock this door. It doesn't take a key! If you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's because I got a particular girl drunk tonight and I've got to make sure she's okay.' Birchill introduced. Star Dog watched in dismay as the video showed Birchill unlocking the door to reveal his girlfriend Stacy. Birchill was really pushing it.
'I forgot to tell you all that I tampered with her drink and she doesn't know where she is. I'm going inside to mess around some more!' Birchill laughed evilly. The titantron then cut off. Star Dog kicked the ropes and spat on the outside mats. He was so enraged that he stormed out of the arena through the crowd.
Grizzly & Mechaclaw vs. Batista & Balls Mahoney.
This was a hardcore slugfest. The former World champion went after Mechaclaw while Mahoney went to take care of the XLX big man. A decent match ended with Mechaclaw & Grizzly's winning combination of a chokeslam, the Bulldozer Bomb and the Jungle Driver on Batista. The giants pinned Batista together.
The winners are Grizzly & Mechaclaw.
After the match, the contenders to the UK title started brawling again. Cena & DJ came out and began fighting on the stage. Security was again on hand to stop it all.
A promo played for the PPV.
Main event: Randy Orton, Yoshihiro Magma & Dan Wilson vs. Mark Orton, Taz & Kurtis Raynes w/Mordecai & Cyrus.
The Ortons assaulted each other on the ramp. Raynes beat the living crap out of the new Junior Heavyweight champion while Taz & Yoshi Magma went at it hard & heavy with a variety of suplexes and throws. Taz nailed a Tazplex, only for Magma to get up and nail a head and arm suplex of his own. Taz got up and hit the Tazmissionplex. Magma got up and hit a reverse suplex. Raynes blasted Dan Wilson with the Raynefall. Magma prevented the pinfall and then resumed his suplex contest with the 'Human Suplex Machine'. Randy Orton beat up the interfering managers on the ramp before turning around to get a fluorescent light tube shot from his brother. Mark Orton was apparently a CZW fan. Taz nails the Angry Man's Clothesline and Magma hits back with a stiff chop. Taz returned it and the fans watched on in awe as the chests of the 2 rivals turned red from their chopping contest. Raynes sent Wilson flying to the outside with the Raynefall, knocking them both out. Mark Orton crashed into his brother, sending them both flying off of the stage and through some electrical equipment. The chopping contest ended in the ring and Taz went to lock on the Tazmission, but Magma countered with an attempt at the Burning Avalanche, which also didn't work. Taz kicked Magma in the nuts and placed him on the top turnbuckles. He went for the Super Tazplex, hit it, but Magma cradled him up for the 1-2-3 and an upset victory.
The winners are Randy Orton, Yoshihiro Magma & Dan Wilson.
After the match, Taz choked out Magma with the Tazmission as Livewire went off the air.
