Chapter 23: BLOCKBUSTER Week 1 July
A highlight video of the Elimination Chase match last week with Triple H eliminating Elijah Burke with the Pedigree after launching Monty Brown over the top rope onto the IWA World Heavyweight Champion John Morrison. After that, Brown attacked Triple H from behind and connected with the Alpha Slam. Morrison came in the ring with a steel chair and handed it to Brown as he smashed Triple H on the head with it. Mysterio tried to help by springboarding but received a chair shot in mid air. Before anything else could happen, the lights went out and a gong sounded. When the lights came back on, the Undertaker was in the ring, looking in the eyes of Morrison and his associate. Brown tried to attack with the chair but it was booted to his head. The Guru of Greatness tried to charge but was caught in the neck and hoisted into the air with a Chokeslam. Brown tried again with the chair shot and got it successfully on the back of the Phenom. He did it again and threw it away as he tried to do the Pounce but he countered with a flying clothesline. He picked up Brown and drilled him with the Tombstone Piledriver as the crowd went wild. When the video ended, the opening pyro started and the cameras went to the announcer's table.
Joey: "Hello and good evening folks. Welcome to another edition of BLOCKBUSTER and tonight is a special night."
Cole: "We are celebrating independence with tonight being the Fourth of July and we are having a Fourth of July Fatal Fourway Match to see who will face Jeff Hardy for the US Title and these four superstars are newly signed.

The Fanged Freak then did a couple of shoulder thrusts when he backed Teddy to the corner and started to choke him with his boot. The referee had to pull him off before he disqualifies him. Thorn then whipped Teddy to the ropes and went for a backdrop but set up too early as Teddy kicked him on the chest and bounced off the ropes for a leg lariat. Teddy went to the apron and waited for Thorn to get up and connected with a springboard tornado DDT.

Thorn put him away with the Original Sin after positioning Teddy on the top rope then hooked the leg for the pin.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Kevin Thorn!"
The Follower of Vampirism exited the ring with his arm raised as he had no time to celebrate because there is nothing to celebrate about. Meanwhile backstage, Benedict Rockwell was seen listening to his IPod on his headphones, banging his head slightly before Josh Matthews came in to interview him. Josh coughed really loud which Rockwell didn't hear. The song he was listening to ended and now heard Josh and removed the headphones.
Josh: "Benedict, since you have advanced in the quarter finals and you are about to face Kenny Dykstra, what did you do to prepare yourself for this Tournament?"
Benedict: "This Tournament is my road to the World Title and I have been training for weeks for two reasons: 1. That the finals could be either Batista or King Booker and 2. I have nothing else to do for the weeks leading up to Projekt Mayhem. All that training is even getting me lose weight. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a match to go on too."
The Music Maniac left the set for his match which was later for tonight. Back to the ring, Justin Roberts was about to introduced the contestants of the second match.
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the Carribean, weighing in at 220 lbs. Carlito!"
Carlito made his way to the ring, with his apple in his hand, and entered the ring for his match.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Yonkers, New York, weighing in at 255 lbs. Tommy Dreamer!"
Dreamer came down to his theme Man in a Box and he got in the ring for the match.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Carlito
The two superstars started with a lock up and Carlito was able to back up Dreamer to the corner where a clean break commenced. Even a clean break was seen, Carlito did a cheap shot right on the face.Carlito landed punches on the face of Dreamer and dragged him to the center of the ring where he put him in a side headlock. Dreamer backed Carlito to the ropes and used it to throw his opponent across the ring but he kept the lock on. He did this again and successfully threw Carlito to the ropes but got a shoulder block from him. Carlito ran to the ropes to gather more momentum but was put down by a back elbow from Dreamer. He then did a snapmare on Carlito and bounced off the ropes for a low clothesline. Dreamer whipped Carlito to the ropes but he rolled out of the ring to safety which prompted the ECW Original to exit the ring and follow suit. Carlito was then grabbed by the hair and Dreamer attempted to slam him on the steel steps but he stopped it just in time. He elbowed Dreamer to get out of it then did a back suplex that got Dreamer to land on the apron. Carlito rolled him in and went for the cover but got a 2 count. Carlito mounted Dreamer and began pounding his face until the ref pulled him out of Dreamer. He stomped on his opponent and when he got up Carlito whipped Dreamer to the corner and hit a few shoulder thrusts to the midsection. Carlito then whipped Dreamer with such velocity that he bounced off the corner into a suplex. With Dreamer perfectly set in the center of the ring, Carlito ran to the ropes and did a springboard corkscrew senton followed by springboard moonsault but Dreamer put his knees up to prevent it. Carlito tried a clothesline to stop Dreamer from getting up but he ducked under and hit a falling neckbreaker for it. Dreamer whipped Carlito to the ropes and backdropped him off his feet. The Innovator of Violence clotheslined him a couple of times and kicked him in the gut for another suplex but Carlito got behind him and drove him to the mat with a lifting reverse STO.

The Cool Superstar then whipped Dreamer to the corner but was countered with an Irish whip of his own and Carlito got behind Dreamer by backflipping over him. He would again try the Back Stabber but Dreamer held onto the ropes. Dreamer lifted up Carlito in a back suplex position on the top turnbuckle and lowered Carlito in a tree of woe. Dreamer went to the corner across the ring; he shouted "E-C-W!" and nailed the star from Caribbean with a low dropkick. The ECW Original was waiting for Carlito to get up and went for the Dreamer DDT but Carlito countered with a spinebuster. Carlito was about to finish the match but was surprised with the Dreamer DDT by Dreamer and put his arm on his chest for the 3 count.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Tommy Dreamer!"
Dreamer managed to stand up after a hard fought match as Carlito clutched his head with the referee attending to him. He left the ring with the crowd cheering him on as the cameras went to the back with Josh Matthews and JBL.
Josh: "JBL, you wanted this time to say something?"
JBL: "The United States Champion better watch his back because JBL is coming for that gold. I am officially stating my candidacy for the No.1 Contender spot for the US Title. Nobody represents the United States more than the Wrestling God and when I say nobody, I mean it. Even the winner of winner of the so called "Fourth of July Fatal Four Way" can do anything about it."
JBL stormed off the set as usual with Jeff Hardy watching from a distance. He responded to JBL with a short sentence:
Jeff: "If he wants this, then he should do something about it."
The United States Champion looked on as the cameras went to the ring with the crowd cheering their heads off.
Roberts: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, now inside the ring, from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 226 lbs. Peter Impact!"
A newly signed superstar was already in the ring wearing blue tights with a tribal design of "Peter" at the sides, preparing for his match.
Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring Big Daddy V, from New York City, weighing in at 237 lbs. Matt Striker!"
A school bell followed by a generic theme played as Matt Striker made his way to the ring with the 500 Pound Mastodon trailed behind him.
Peter Impact vs. Matt Striker w/ Big Daddy V
The former school teacher started the match with him kicking Peter on the gut and putting a side headlock on him. Striker was putting more pressure to it as Peter tried to break out of it then pushed him towards the ropes that Striker utilized by doing a shoulder block on him. Striker did a scoop slam on Peter then went for an elbow drop but Peter got out of it just in time. Peter then hit a few punches to the head of Striker before whipping him to the ropes and Striker got a clothesline from him. He would connect with two dropkicks as Striker got up and then did a hip toss. He then did a few kicks to the torso of Striker followed by a spinning back elbow to the head then a kick to the gut ended with a knee lift to the head. Sensing Striker was in trouble; Big V pulled Peter's legs as he bounced off the ropes, giving time to recover for the Educator. Striker realized what happened and went on the offensive by dropping elbows to the back. He hit a knee to the back then picked him up and whipped him to the corner then ran to his direction with a running shoulder thrust on him. Striker did a snapmare on Peter and climbed the second rope for a missile dropkick on the back. He went for a pin but got a 2 count then hooked the leg again only for the count of 2.

He was fired up after connecting with a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam and doing a baseball slide on Big V causing him to hit the announce table. He measured Striker and went for a fireman's carry but Striker elbowed his way out of it then he was going for a suplex which was blocked and turned into a small package that earned him the winning 3 seconds.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Peter Impact!"
Peter rolled out of the ring before Big V could get his hands on him. Big V picked up Striker to his feet, looking on a celebrating Peter up on the ramp as the commercial break started.
-COMMERICAL-
Peter Impact was in Jayden Smith's office with a towel and was smiling with the GM looking at a replay of his match.
Jayden: "I have to say, I'm impressed. Good thing I signed you here than Xtreme Revelation bringing you up to Monday Nights."
Peter: "Well I have to thank you for the opportunity of being here and competing."
Peter left the office with the general manager sitting back to relax as the next match was about to begin.
Roberts: "This next tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first. Being accompanied to the ring by Titus Zero, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 222lbs. Warwick Zero!"
The Fad by Chevelle played and the two brothers came down to the ring with Warwick leading the way as the other half of the team behind him. He entered the ring and gestured to the crowd that he would win.
Roberts: "And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Shad, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 245 lbs. JTG!"
Bringin' The Hood To You blasted through the speakers and the International Tag Team Champions made their way to the ring. The duo from Brooklyn raised their tag team gold as the opposition looked on. JTG relinquished his title to his partner and the match began after entering the ring.
International Tag Team Champion JTG w/ Shad vs. Warwick Zero w/ Titus Zero
The other members of each team were at ringside, staying to ensure that there is no cheating, with that matter may only apply to Shad. Warwick and JTG did a collar-elbow tie-up at the center of the ring and JTG got out of it into a hammerlock. JTG soon rolled up Warwick for a quick 1 count then got a right hook on the face. Warwick hit another then whipped JTG to the ropes and leapfrogged over him but JTG stopped behind him then got in a hip toss. JTG took down Warwick again but with an arm drag. JTG began working on the arm by doing an arm wrench and punched on the shoulder. He whipped him to the ropes and successfully landed a shoulder block on the worked shoulder. JTG landed a quick legdrop and a knee drop to the arm of Warwick then went for a pin but got a 1 and a half count. One half of the International Tag Team Champions picked up Warwick and rammed his shoulder to the nearest corner two times in a row but Titus climbed the apron to distract him. This was a poor choice as Shad saw this and took out his feet, causing Titus to hit the apron with his head. The referee noticed the event and ejected Shad from ringside. The crowd was booing the decision as Warwick capitalized with a European Uppercut on his distracted opponent. Warwick did a snapmare on JTG and put him in a chin lock after using his forearms to weaken JTG with hits to the chest. When the referee asked JTG to give up and replied "no", Warwick broke the hold then slammed his head down to the mat. He went for the pin but got a 2 count on JTG. Warwick then went for a suplex but JTG blocked it and connected with a swinging neckbreaker instead. Warwick got up and received a dropkick from JTG and was clotheslined off his boots. JTG whipped his opponent to the ropes but was kicked on the chest after setting up too early which Warwick tried to capitalize with a clothesline that was ducked under and followed by a Russian Legsweep. JTG was getting fired up as he lifted up Warwick to the top rope in a suplex lift then went for superplex but Warwick raked his eyes then threw him side ways, near the announce table. The referee tried to check with Warwick as Titus performed a big boot on the face of JTG then slid him in to the ring. Warwick then stood on the top rope and executed a move he calls the Zero Star Press (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press) that got him the pin on one half of the International Tag Team Champions.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Warwick Zero!"
Titus helped his brother up to his feet after winning the match as Shad came down to check if his partner is okay. The two taunted Cryme Tyme and said that time is on their side as the crowd looked on in disgust. Warwick and Titus left the ring with Cryme Tyme clutching their tag team titles. Backstage was Benedict Rockwell was seen walking with his headphones in what could be in full volume. He soon stopped walking as he is faced with the IWA World Heavyweight Champion John Morrison and Monty Brown.
Morrison: "If it isn't the "Music Maniac", Benedict Rockwell. Have you heard of the Palace of Wisdom? The Palace of Wisdom is where individuals with specific attributes are welcomed to enter paradise. I am welcome there because I am the IWA World Heavyweight Champion and Monty Brown has proved his worth. You are young and skilled in the ring, which is made obvious by your undefeated streak."
Rockwell: "I know where you're going here. You want me to donate money to this "Palace of Wisdom" charity? I don't have money on me right now but maybe after my match, I could donate a few bucks. Good luck on defending your title."
Morrison and Brown looked on as Rockwell walked on to the ring with his headphones' sound vanishing.
Brown: "I don't like that guy one bit."
Back to the ring, Roberts was about to start the Tournament to a New Frontier Quarter Finals with the introductions.
Roberts: "The following contest is the Tournament to a New Frontier Quarter Final match and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 185 lbs. Matt Sydal!"
Sydal's generic theme played as he walked down the ramp, being cheered by the fans watching him in the arena. He climbed the second rope and told them that he would advance to the finals.
Roberts: "And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 233 lbs. The Music Maniac, Benedict Rockwell!"
Burn Burn played and the Music Maniac made his way to the ring with the crowd cheering but Sydal's reaction was louder than his. He entered the ring and had his game face on unlike his confrontation with the Guru of Greatness.

After picking up Sydal, Rockwell whipped his opponent to the ropes but it was reversed with the Music Maniac bouncing off the ropes instead which he used with a sunset flip that Sydal rolled through and gets a reverse neck snap on him. When Rockwell got up, Sydal clotheslined him over the top rope but Rockwell managed to land on the apron. Sydal saw this and went to him but Rockwell connected with a vicious forearm to the face and a kick to the gut.

The two did a double back suplex on Daniels which Kash followed up with a knee drop. He went for a pin but got a 2 count on him. He did a snapmare on Daniels and put him in a reverse chinlock, trying to wear him down. After he refused to tap, Kash hit a few forearms to the chest then an elbow drop. He tagged in Noble where the two whipped Daniels to the ropes as the two drove him face first into the canvas with a double flapjack. Noble landed a quick leg drop on Daniels and picked him up and tried a suplex but Daniels blocked it into a STO. He tagged in AJ and he clotheslined Noble then brought Noble in the ring. He whipped Kash to the ropes and lied down followed by leapfrogging over him then a dropkick to the face. The Phenomenal One kicked Noble on the gut then connected with the Styles Buster.

Roberts: "The winners of the match, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels!"
The two stood on the corner, bringing another win to the team. They both raised each other's arm in victory as Kash helped his partner to the back. Just as they were going to exit the ring, Smooth played and Monty Brown came down to the ring with John Morrison following. Brown entered the ring and did a clothesline on the two of them. The Alpha Male nailed Daniels with the Pounce after whipping him to the ropes and planted AJ with the Alpha Bomb. Morrison got a microphone from ringside and began to address the crowd.
Morrison: "This is what happens when people mess with me and Monty Brown. Triple H, you better hope you get eliminated tonight because we will make sure you won't be able to walk after the match! Nobody makes a mockery of the Shaman of Sexy and the Alpha Male, that going to Benedict Rockwell. He may think of us as a charity but the only charity is that you are undefeated because you only faced people with half the caliber than me. I am the IWA World Heavyweight Champion and I intend to stay that way!"
As Morrison gave the microphone to Brown, a familiar gong sounded and the lights went out. The crowd went wild as Taker appeared on the stage, staring down the duo and did a gesture, telling the two the end was near for them especially Brown. After another gong, he disappeared after the lights came back on.
Roberts: "This main event contest is scheduled for one fall and it is the Triple Threat Elimination Chase to Projekt Mayhem. In this match, the first one to be pinned or made to tap will be eliminated and the two will meet next week in a one-on-one match. Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 265 lbs. The Alpha Male, Marcus Cor Von. His opponents, first, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 165 lbs. Rey Mysterio!"
Booyaka 619 hit the speakers and Mysterio was on the stage then down to the ramp with the crowd cheering him as he entered the ring and confronted Morrison and Brown.
Roberts: "And lastly, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing in at 260 lbs. The Game, Triple H!"
The Game blared through the speakers as the fans at ringside and everywhere in the arena went wild for the Cerebral Assassin. Triple H walked down to the ring and made his usual entrance as the other two competitors stared him down in the ring. After that, Morrison took a seat in front of the announce table and the match began.
Elimination Chase to Projekt Mayhem Triple Threat Match:
Monty Brown vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Triple H
Brown immediately went to Triple H with incoming fists that also got him punches from HHH. The two brawled as Mysterio watched the two tear each other apart. Triple H kicked Brown on the gut and whipped him to the ropes which earned him a shoulder block. Mysterio came in with kicks to the side of Brown and bounced off the ropes and went for a wheelbarrow counter but Brown turned it into a German suplex. He whipped Mysterio to the corner and charged but got a boot to the face and into Triple H who landed a clothesline on him. Triple H then whipped Brown to the other corner across the ring and ran towards him but got a back elbow that had him on all fours which Mysterio utilized by running over him and hitting a hurricanrana on Brown. Triple H then did a suplex on Mysterio after a kick to the gut and went for a pin but got a 1 count. He then scoop slammed him but after bouncing off the ropes, he got a clothesline from Brown. The Alpha Male landed a leg drop on Mysterio's neck and hooked his leg but got a 2 count. Brown stomped on the smaller competitor and dropped an elbow to the back then picked him up as he whipped him to the ropes but Mysterio hung on. Brown tried to charge towards him but Mysterio went for a kick to delay him which he caught and threw his leg away that got Mysterio on the apron. Brown caught hold of Mysterio but got hung up on the top rope and the Biggest Little Man springboarded for a seated senton towards Brown which missed its mark as it hit Triple H instead. He then almost booted Mysterio's head off his shoulders after he got up and went for a pin on Triple H but got a 2 count instead. Brown also approached Mysterio for a pin but was trapped in a small package instead for the 2 count. Brown caught Mysterio with a belly to belly suplex after a swift kick to the gut and also got Triple H with another belly to belly suplex. After throwing Mysterio into the corner, he drove his knee in his midsection and taunted him, much to the delight of Morrison and the disgust of the crowd. He then lifted up Mysterio to the top rope and attempted to superplex him but was stopped by Triple H with a forearm to the back. Triple H hit a few more forearms to Brown's back as he still had Mysterio in a superplex position. The King of Kings dropped Brown on his back with an electric chair with Brown doing a superplex to Mysterio at the same time. All three men were down and out as The Guru of Greatness watched with fear, as his associate may lose and Triple H crawling for the cover on one of them. Triple H covered Brown and waited for the 3 count but got 2 only as he got a shoulder up just in the nick of time. He then crawled on Mysterio for a pin attempt which earned him again a 2 count after putting a foot on the bottom rope. Brown was the first of the three to move to a vertical base followed by Triple H and the two traded fists to the cranium and Brown got the upper hand as he raked the eyes. Brown whipped Triple to the ropes and tried a clothesline which his opponent ducked under and nailed him with a high knee strike. He ducked under another clothesline and hit a falling neckbreaker on Brown. He went for a pin only to be broken by Mysterio with a springboard leg drop to the back of the head. Mysterio went for a pin but got a 2 count. Mysterio then came at Brown with a barrage of kicks to the side that eventually ended with a kick which was stopped by Brown. This didn't stop Mysterio as he executed an enzuigiri to the back of the head of Brown and got him trapped in the ropes. When he turned around, Triple H attempted the Pedigree but Mysterio countered with a wheelbarrow into a bulldog. The Master of the 619 then went for an Irish Whip on The Game but he instead was bounced off the ropes and Triple H did a clothesline which Mysterio evaded for a springboard crossbody. He then tried to cap the night off by dropkicking the back of Triple H, setting him up for the 619 which successfully hit. It didn't stop there as he delivered another 619 on Brown and went for a West Coast Pop but received an Alpha Bomb instead. He then went to Triple H but he almost received a Pedigree which was reversed into a roll up with the assist of the ropes and John Morrison for the 3 count.
Roberts: "The winner of the match, Monty Brown! As a result being pinned, Triple H is eliminated from the Elimination Chase."
Brown got his arm raised as Triple H stood in disbelief, being eliminated from the Chase and his World Title opportunity vanishing into thin air. He took out his frustration at Brown, who was still in the ring. Before he could Pedigree him, The A-List Elitist came from behind with a steel chair to the back. He then connected with the Moonlight Drive on his nemesis with the crowd chanting "You Suck" at both superstars. Brown had his turn as he planted Triple H to the mat with the Alpha Slam. The two stood there, as they planned to continue the punishment but before it would continue, Batista ran in the ring, saving his former mentor with a Spear to Brown as Morrison escaped unscathed. Morrison stood on the ramp, seeing what could be his next challenger when the Tournament of a New Frontier ends as the show went to black.
