SHOCKWAVE

August 28, 2009

UNO Lakefront Arena - New Orleans, LA

Mike Tenay and Don West on Commentary

This month we start with highlights of last month's event where Matt Morgan debuted, AJ Styles became the World Champion and Angelina Love became the Womens Champion!

Ric Flairs music hits and he is on his way to the ring to discuss the footage shown of him at the WCW offices last month.  Flair says that he is embarrassed by the footage and admits that he has been in talks with WCW, but after meeting with Dameon Nelson, he has decided to stay here.  However, Flair reveals that he has been relieved of his duties for this PPV event.  Fair goes on to say that he wants nothing more than for all the fans to be entertained and he has appointed an interim GM for tonight only.  He introdues the interum GM, SANTINO MARELLA!

Santino comes out and cuts a very funny promo which is interrupted by Chris Jericho.  Jericho comes out and says that 2 months ago, he embarrassed Marella and that he should be GM as a result.  Marella tells Jericho that he is not going to be the "PM" and that he is ready to make his first match!  Marella announces that it will be Chris Jericho in a handicapped match against Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin, the Motor City Machine Guns!  Jericho is not happy and takes a swing at Marella who escapes out of the ring.  MCMG music hits and they make their way to the ring!

Handicapped Match - MCMG V Chris Jericho

Jericho is getting destroyed by MCMG with fast paced action!  During the beating, HHH comes down the ramp and attacks Chris Sabin.  Jericho uses this opportunity to nail the Codebreaker on Shelley and get the pin for the win.  West and Tenay speculate as to why HHH helped Jericho.

Interum GM Marella is shown backstage talking to ODB.  ODB is upset that she was not used on last months PPV and wants a match tonight. Santino is not in a good mood and reminds ODB that he is in charge and if she wants a match, she's got one!  Marella says that ODB is a very tough ladie and he has the perfect opponet in mind and that match is next!

ODB V Charlie Haas

ODB is out first wondering who her opponent is and then Haas' music hits!  ODB mounts an ealry offense, but she is no match for Haas.  Haas scores the win by pinfall.

Interum GM Marella is in his office on the phone.  In walks HHH.  Marella lashes out at HH and says that he had no business sticking his "rather large snout" in his getting back at Jericho earlier in the evening.  Marella announces that he was going to be giving HHH a title match tonight, but now he will be in his very own 3 way, and the third participant will be a surprise!

Matt Morgan w/Jim Cornette V Kurt Angle

Morgan dominates early with brute force and Angle then gets the Ankle lock on Morgan.  Morgan is able to power out and nails Angle with the Carbon Footprint and scores the pinfall victory!

Tag Team Championship - Beer Money w Jim Cornette (c) V Legacy

Solid match with Beer Money scoring the win over Legacy to retain the tag straps.

Don West and Mike Tenay remind us that the Undertaker is set to return at next months PPV event and he will most likely be looking for Matt Morgan. 

HBK V Shelton Benjamin

Benjamin and Michaels have an excellent match that many say is better than their outing on WWE RAW a few years ago.  Mike Tneay tells us that HBK requested this match because he won MITB last month and since he has never been in a MITB match, this is as close as he may ever get.  Benjamin gets the win via pinfall.  After the match, HBK looks dispondent and is certainly without his smile.

Womens Championship - Angelina Love (c) w/ Jim Cornette V Tara

Angelina retains the title in a very competitive match.

World Championship Match - Aj Styles (c) V HHH V Mystery Opponent

True World Title match treatment with in ring intros for Styles and HHH.  After the intros, GM Santino comes out and announces that the third participant in this match will bedazzle HHH out of the World Title.  John Morrison's music hits and the match is on!  Excellent match which saw HHH thwart the efforts of Styles and Morrison to capture the World Championship!

{mos_fb_discuss:15}

PWR Intern Kal spoke to Meathead and he told him that he will be taking AWESOME KONG from Dameon's roster along with another pick to be announced later.

NEW BLOOD RISING

Video package airs of Bash at the Beach and the “Finger Poke Of Doom” finish to the main event which brings us to Good Ole J.R. and Michael Cole at ringside.  J.R. speculates on what the Sheriff might do about the WCW Heavyweight title and says “When you hear the glass, it’s your ass”

Austin in ring promo:
The familiar sound of glass breaking brings Stone Cold Steve Austin down the ramp on his A.T.V.   When he gets in the ring he grabs a mic and begins to talk about the lineage of the WCW Heavyweight Championship and the disrespect that Rated RKO show towards it.  He says it was a travesty…”What?” a sham…”What?” and a mockery…..”What?” it was a Travashamockery!  “What?”  “If you wanna see Randy Orton defend his title tonight, give me a hell yeah!” Crowd responds accordingly.  “I hear voices in my head.”  The new remixed version of Rated RKO’s theme song plays them out to the ramp were Edge tells Austin “I’m unable to compete for up to 3 months because Orton gave me the most vicious poke and I’m blind in one eye which is why I couldn’t defend myself against the stunner you gave me last month”.   Randy also states that because of his distress over injuring his friend he can’t compete tonight either.  Austin won’t be having any of this as he names Christian as Randy’s opponent for tonight and the title WILL be on the line!!!
“And that’s the bottom line“………. Crowd finishes catch phrase.

WCW Tag Team Title Match:

Rey Mysterio and Evan “Air” Bourne(C) vs.  LAX

J.R. and Cole bring you the first match which showcases the best in the business when it comes to tag team action. After high spots from both teams for 10 minutes which includes Hernandez who flies over the top rope taking out Rey and Evan, it’s a 619 followed by a shooting star press as your winners and still WCW tag team champs Rey Mysterio and Evan “Air” Bourne.

And standing at the top of the ramp are the teams of Regal and Nigel, The Brisco Bros. and the Colon’s with a round of applause as the crowd stands on the feet and join them.

Backstage segment:
Rated RKO
Orton and Edge talk about how there gonna work over Christian tonight to keep the belt with RKO.
Austin walks in the shot and lets them know “Oh by the way, Edge, you’re BARRED from ringside to make sure that no shenanigans happen like they did at Bash at the Beach.  As Austin leaves, Randy assures Edge that he has a trick up his sleeve and Christian will never get close to his WCW title.

To Crown a new U.S. Champ:

Jack Swagger vs. Beth Phoenix
Beth Phoenix comes out first with Natalya, Daphney and Melina accompanying her to the ring.  Hit Swaggers music and as he comes out he stops at the ramp to get on the mic.  “I saw what happened last month how all you broads… so sorry chics don’t like to be called broads….. Distracted Booker T and cost him a chance against me for the U.S. belt.  So I spoke with the sheriff and to assure that I get a fair match, he agrees that Natalya, Daphney and Melina, you all need to leave ringside right now”!!!!  The girls don’t agree but they all hug and embrace with Beth and they head to the back.  Poor J.R. and Cole are at a loss for words as they can’t stop talking about the embrace of 4 beautiful women.  As Swagger toys with Beth for what seems like forever, he finally goes for the pin but Beth counters with a school boy and gets a 1… 2…. when out of the crowd comes MICKIE JAMES apparently to help Beth but distracts the ref allowing Swagger to hit his finisher and become the new WCW United States champion.  Red, White and Blue streamers fall from the rafters as J.R. and Cole again announce that the “All American American” Jack Swagger is the new U.S. champ.

Ringside with J.R. and Cole:
J.R. and Cole explain that Mickie James is not an employee of WCW and we will hear from the sheriff later on this evening as to a ruling on Swagger’s victory.

Booker T vs. M.V.P.
In a match that some will come to say stole the show with a surprising chain link style opening, Booker T is bested by the up and coming M.V.P.

In the post match, M.V.P. promises that we will have a V.I.P. lounge at the next P.P.V. entitled “Road Wild” with his guest Randy Orton.

Backstage solo shot with Sheriff Stone Cold:
Even though Mickie James is still NOT employed by WCW, she has been in negotiations and because the referee’s decision is always final, Jack Swagger is the WCW United States Champion.

Split Screen shot of both Christian’s and Randy Orton’s locker room as they get ready for the main event.

Three Way Dance for the #1 contenders spot:

Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy vs. John Cena
J.R. and Cole remind us that these are the men who were screwed out of there opportunity for WCW gold as Rated RKO pulled a fast one on all of us. It’s a three way dance which means that it’s elimination style wrestling from these three gladiators.  Hardy out first, followed by Samoa Joe and then John Cena who gets a mixed reaction from the crowd per the usual.  With the crowd strongly behind Hardy, he exchanges near falls with Samoa Joe on Cena. After a missed Swanton on Cena, Hardy falls victim to the muscle buster and is eliminated.  One on one now for the chance to go to “Road Wild”.  Cena with the throwback on Joe… kickout at 2… Joe’s gonna kill you chants coming from the crowd while Joe grounds and pounds…… Cena locks on the STF on Joe which gets reversed and Joe slaps his finisher on Cena to get the 1 2 3 on Cena to become the new #1 contender for the WCW Heavyweight Title.

For the WCW Heavyweight Championship of the World:

Randy Orton vs. Christian

This is it, the main event of the evening and here comes Christian, who lasted longer than anyone else in last months gauntlet match to determine the WCW World champion.  As he stands in the ring and acknowledges his peeps, the music of the viper Randy Orton plays as Orton almost slithering to the ring looks somewhat disheveled because his partner Edge has be barred from ringside.  Michael Buffer now introduces Christian first and Orton as champ next and gives his standard “Let’s get ready to Rumble…….” In a very well paced match with lots of back and forth action in and out of the ring, Randy Orton is thrown through the ring ropes to the outside by Christian.  Christian sets up Randy on the Spanish broadcast table to the delight of the crowd and jumps from the corner of the ring through Orton onto the floor.  Holy Shit chants ring through the arena as somehow both wrestlers get back in the ring before the 10 count.  RKO on Christian, kickout at 2, Unprettier on Orton, kickout at 2.  Back and forth with the crowd foaming at the mouth.  Christian goes for one more finisher and mistakenly hits the ref and when he goes for his move again, a hand comes through the ring apron to reveal that ABYSS has grabbed Christian’s leg and allowed Orton to hit the final RKO!  New ref flies down to the ring to count the pinfall so your winner and still WCW Heavyweight Champion is Randy Orton.

Next Pay Per View is
ROAD WILD

Why is Abyss helping Randy Orton?  Is Joe gonna kill him? And is Edge faking his eye injury? V.I.P. Lounge with the Champ Randy Orton should have all the answers plus we find out what Mickie James is doing here next month!!!

Coming off the heels of last months FOUNDATION event where new tag champs were crowned and number one contenders determined, it's time for the second installment of Dameon Nelsons Fantasy PPV!

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Kofi Kingston, Chris Jericho, Santina Marella, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase and Kurt Angle

All participants are in the ring after the announcements. All 8 immediatly go for the 4 20' ladders in the ring and try to grab the briefcase. None are successful! Jericho and Santino are on one ladder and Jericho delivers the Codebreaker on Santino from the top of the ladder, Angle slaps the Angle Slam on Shelton Benjamin from the 2nd ladder, Kingston and Haas are battling on top of the 3rd ladder until it begins to teeter and they both fall off the ladder to the floor at ringside, Rhodes and Dibiase are the last two standing on the ladder and decide that they will go after Jericho and Angle instead of going for the briefcase. This one is underway with an amazing first few minutes!

While Dibiase, Rhodes, Angle and Benjamin battle in the ring, Tenay and West speculate about the injuries sustained by Haas and Kingston as they are still down at ringside. Benjamin grabs a ladder and begins to twirl it around the center of the ring taking out all other competitors. Benjamin stands strong and sets the ladder up in the center of the ring and begins to climb it, as he nears the top Kofi Kingston rises from ringside and thwarts Benjamins efforts. Kingston and Benjamin battle on top of the ladder in the center of the ring and both men get their hands on the title, the ladder then gives way and both men are danging from the hook holding the belt. Benjamin loses his grib frist and falls to ghe center of the ring, Kingston then drops a huge 450 splash from the hook. Both men are down.

Dibiase, Rhodes, Angle, Jericho, Marella and Haas are back in action outside the ring....ladders are set up all the way up the entrance ramp. Grappling continues outside the ring, moving up the entrance way to the stage and Haas is able to break away from the pack. The camera stays on the action on the stage. All of a sudden, Haas is seen climbing the ladder nearest the ring. Tenay and West speculate as to why he would be climbing that ladder. Hass then runes across the ladders on the entranceway and delivers a moonsault to the other competitors on the stage from the final ladder. Crowd chants "Holy Shit" which is followed by "Haas is Awesome" All men are down. Back to the ring, Benjamin and Kingston are back up but groggy. They begin to wrestle an exceptional catch as catch can style wrestling match in the ring with several near pins until Kingston, who came out of the exchange ahead, brings the ladder back into play. The others are still down on the stage.

Kingston sets up three ladders in the ring, one in the center and two in opposite corners. Benjamin is back up as Kingston climbs the ladder rin the far corner. benjamin runs up the ladder and suplexes Kingston towards the mat, but Kingston lands on a rung of the center ladder. Benjamin then leaps to that ladder, Kingston gets the upperhand and tries to throw Benjamin down to the mat with his own suplex, but this time, Benjamin lands on the ladder in the near corner. Crowd is on their feet. Benjamin is still in the game and as Kofi jumps to the ladder, Benjamin grabs him and gives a belly to belly suplex with Kingston landing on the timekeepers table! Benjamin stands alone, he sees Kurt Angle making his way back to ringside and then leaps to the center ladder and grabs the MITB briefcase for the win.

The winner is Shelton Benjamin.

General Manager Ric Flair's music hits and he walks through the carnage to the ring.

Flair announces that there has been a change to a title match tonight. At this point, Jericho is entering the ring very groggy. He takes the mic from Flair and thanks Flair for puttin him in the main event tonight with Styles and HBK for the World Title. Flair then snatches the mic back and says that he just had his chance and just like last month at Foundation, he did not deliver. Jericho then tells Flair that tonight will still be his night and reminds Flair that he has information that would ruin him in this business.

Flair goes on to announce that the Undertaker will be out for at least 2 months due to his injuries at Foundation last month, but Big Show does not get off that easy, he says that Show will face one of the Undertakers Diciples tonight in a casket match.

Jericho leaves and Flair continues to tell us that Mickie James is no longer with the company and he has put ODB into the Womens Championship Match in her place and the match is next.

World Ladies Championship - Angelina Love v ODB

Love comes out with her manager, Jim Cornette and proceeds to tell the Albany fans that this is not fair because she has trained for the last month for a match with Mickie. Cornette then says his lawyers are looking into this and guarantees a Love Victory. ODB enters the ring. The match is underway with solid action between the two competitors. The action spills outside the ring and ODB uses a chair on Love. The ref does not see it. Love is left outside the rign as the ref begins the count. As the ref is counting Tara comes to the ring and hits ODB in the back with a 2 by 4. The ref does not see it. Love gets back in the ring at the 9 count and covers ODB for the pin and the win.

The Winner and NEW Womens Champion is Angelina Love!

No Disqualification Match - John Morrison v HHH

Morrison is out first, followed by HHH. Tenay and West remind us that HHH interfered and cost Morrison a title shot last month. This match starts off wildly as Tables, Ladders and chairs are used in the first few minutes. HHH is busted open by a chairshot from Morrison. Morrison is in the lead, he goes for the pin, but HHH kicks out at 2. The match coninues and HHH is losing a lot of blood, but stages a pretty miraculous comeback and is in the lead for a few minutes. HHH then goes under the ring and grabs the sledgehammer which is legal in this match. As he is doing this Morrison has a sledgehammer of his own and nails HHH with it in the gut as he re enters the ring. HHH is down and Morrison nails the Starship Pain off the top of a ladder for the pin.

The Winner by pinfall is John Morrison.

Casket Match - Big Show v Undertakers Disciple

Show enters the ring followed by the Diciple. Tenay and West are shocked that he is nearly 7' tall and say that Show has his workcut out for him. Show gives no impression that he is concerned about his opponent. The bell rings and Big Show lunges towards the Diciple who sidesteps the effort and delivers a running big boot nearly taking off the head of Show. Show falls through the second rope and into the coffin, The Diciple slams the lid shut and gets the win.

After the match, Tenay attempts to get a word with the Diciple in the ring. Tenay asks if he has spoken to the Undertaker. The Diciple is silent, but then reveals himself as MATT MORGAN! Morgan says that the Blueprint has arrived in the organization and he will stop at nothing to be a world champion and tonight it started with the Big Show and he will take out the Undertaker when he returns. Tenay asks why he would do that if the Undertaker sent him, Morgan says he answers to only one man and it sure as hell is not the Undertaker. He then tells us that his manager, JIM CORNETTE orchestrated the whoe thing! Cornette enters and stands at the top of the stage and says that he told us last month that he would make sure that Morgan becomes a World Champion to join Beer Money in owning championship gold.

The Winner by pinfall is Matt Morgan.

World Tag Team Championship - Beer Money v Motor City Machine Guns

Backstage we see HHH talking to Ric Flair. Once they notice the cameras, Flair immediatly tells them to stop rolling. Tenay and West remind us that Flair appeared to help HHH last month but has denied any involvement.

Beer Money enters after MCMG. Roode and Sabin start the match. The match goes back and forth with a lot of tags and many near pins. The crowd is eating it up. After a miscue by Shelly, Storm and Roode hit the finisher and get the pin for the win.

The winners and still World Tag Team Champions - BEER MONEY w/ Jim Cornette

Chris Jericho is the shown walking to the ring broken and battered. He grabs the mic and proceeds to tell the Albany fans that he has tried to reasn with Flair, but he would not listen and now he has no choice but to call him out in pubic. Jericho goes on to say that he has it on very good authority that Ric Flair is not loyal to the company and is in fact working for WCW. Tenay and West are shocked. Jericho calls for the truck to show the footage that he has aquired. On the big screen we see Flair in the parking lot of the WCW offices getting into a vehicle. Jericho then says that he has more, he then says that Flair has always been loyal to WCW and his goal is to drive this company into the ground which is why he will not give him his deserved title shot, but is working with HHH because he knows that if HHH wins the championship, the fans will revolt and the company will go under. he says Flair owes it to the fans to explain himself at next months PPV, Shockwave! Tenay and West are shown at ringside and are shocked by Jericho's announcement. They say they are trying to get comment from Flair, but he is unavailable.

World Heavyweight Championship Match - AJ Styles vs Shawn Michaels

HBK is out first followed by Styles. Tenay and West tell us that this is a dream match that millions have wanted to see for years. The match is underway after in ring announcements. This one starts off as a spectacular spot fest followed by a long series of near falls. HBK goes for the elbow off the top rope, but Styles moves and then delivers one of his own. From there, Styles lines HBK up for the Styles Clash, but HBK gets out of it and delivers sweet chin music to Styles. Styles is down. HBK goes for the pin and Styles kicks out just before the tree count. HBK is shocked and seems unsure what to do next. Styles gets up and nails the peylee on HBK. Styles then picks up HBK and hits the Styles Clash, covers HBK for the 1, 2 and Kickout! Styles is now the stunned one and the match continues. After some quick irish whips and reversals HBK attempts Sweet Chin Music again, but styles ducks and gets HBK with another Styles Clash! Styles makes the cover and gets the win and the gold!

The Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion by pinfall is AJ Styles.

After the match HBK approaches Styles and gives him a handshake. HBK grabs the mic and says that Styles is the future of the business!

The show goes off the air as Styles continues to celebrate in the ring.
