Horizon Wrestling League is back!

wicked_rex	Posted on 09/20/10 at 20:12:21 Hey everyone! I couldn't be happier to tell you that I'll be bringing back the HWL her VERY shortly! I was lucky enough to get a copy of Windows XP and install it into VirtualBox. And, for now, everything is running smoothly. My first card should be up and posted by the end of the day.
wicked_rex	Posted on 09/21/10 at 00:30:20 Monday Night Anarchy April 5, 2010 Bridgestone Arena Nashville, Tennessee ================== Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels stand in the center of the ring and welcome everyone in the viewing audience to the "rebirth" of the Horzion Wrestling League. They inform the audience that it has been nearly six months since the HWL was last on television and that there is only one man who was able to make it possible, Peter Bradshaw. Bradshaw appears on-stage, to a tremendous roar of applause from the crowd, and makes his way to the ring where he shakes his commentators' hands. Getting a microphone, Bradshaw, in a very thick British accent, says that he saw promise in the HWL at the end of 2009 that he couldn't let the company disappear. In January, he spoke with Randal Baker about buying out the HWL and making sure that what happened in November never took place again. Bradshaw announces that, in the coming weeks, a new training facility will be up and running in the United Kingdom, strictly for the purpose of developing the "new breed" of HWL stars. Also, because of the training facility, Bradshaw announces that the HWL will be during a summer tour in the UK to show the English fans what this product is all about. But, he says that those things will wait until the come arrives. Bradshaw then announces that there will be four singles matches tonight, as the first round of a tournament to crown the new HWL Heavyweight Champion. He also announces that, tonight, the Women's Championship will be awarded to the winner of a six-women Battle Royal. He then thanks the crowd, Daniels and Michaels before leaving the ring. -- Commercial Break -- HWL Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round One: CM Punk (w/Luke Gallows & Serena) vs. Kane A good match to begin the "new era" of the HWL! On paper, Kane should've had the upper hand against Punk, tonight, but the "Straight-edge Superstar" evened the score by bringing LUKE GALLOWS and SERENA with him. Serena wasted no time, tripping Kane just minutes into the match, barely costing Punk his chance at moving on to the second round. Soon afterward, Kane and Punk found their way outside the ring, where they brawled in front of the crowd. And, yet again, Serena came to Punk's aide by punching Kane in the back. However, this time Kane wasn't as nice, as he connected with a vicious right hand, knocking Serena to the floor! Punk was able to capitalize, hitting a knee lift that busted "The Big Red Machine" open. Back in the ring, Punk took the fight to Kane. But, tasting his own blood, Kane caught Punk with a big boot to the face. He followed that up with the Chokeslam From Hell for the pin-fall, moving himself into the second round. Kane pinned CM Punk with the Choke Slam From Hell in 8:59. Rating: � [Serena interfered against Kane.] -- Commercial Break -- ORTON COMMENTS ON HIS OPPONENT As "Anarchy" returns from commercials, backstage interviewer, Alisha Hicks, catches up with Randy Orton and asks for a comment about his opponent later tonight: Mr. Anderson. Orton says that he and Mr. Anderson have a lot of history together from their days in the WWE. Orton says that he's done nothing but work out and stay in shape since November, and that he watched Mr. Anderson go back to TNA and make a little something out of himself, but that he's back in the HWL where none of that past means anything. Orton says that Mr. Anderson picked the short end of the straw and that he may not be prepared for what Orton has in store. Orton says that it's been a long time since he's been back inside a wrestling ring, but that he can't wait for later tonight. Six-Woman Battle Royal (HWL Women's Title Match) Brie Bella and Gail Kim joined the current HWL Women: Angelina Love, Daffney, Natalya and Velvet Sky, as they all vied for the chance to be the new Women's Champion. Brie and Angelina start off the match with two minutes of basic women's wrestling. DAFFNEY is the next to enter the ring as she goes straight for Angelina, who appeared to be expecting it, as she attempted the Lights Out. But, Daffney escaped the hold and went after Brie. After nearly throwing Brie out of the ring, Daffney is blindsided as Angelina gets back to her feet. Brie uses this opportunity to catch her breath. After composing herself, Brie grabs Daffney by surprise and throws her over the top rope for the first elimination! Angelina and Brie go after each other again, but only for a moment, as Brie uses Angelina's own momentum to toss her out of the ring as well! VELVET SKY is next into the ring. GAIL KIM enters the ring at the six-minute mark. NATALYA enters the ring at the eight-minute mark. After a long battle with Velvet, Gail Kim is eliminated as Velvet connects with a baseball slide kick, forcing Kim to release her hold of the top rope for the third elimination. Natalya, Velvet and Brie continue to battle in the ring with various near-miss eliminations. Natalya is the fourth elimination as she is thrown over the top rope by Velvet Sky. As both women show signs of exhaustion, Brie Bella is able to connect with a spinning head scissors, disorienting Velvet. Brie takes advantage and throws Velvet over the top rope for the final elimination... and the HWL Women's Title! As Brie celebrates with the title, Velvet lets out a horrendous scream of anger and marches her way backstage. Brie Bella won the six-woman Battle Royal after elimination Velvet Sky in 14:36. Rating: � (Brie Bella wins the HWL Women's Title.) -- Commercial Break -- ANNOUNCEMENT A brief commercial is shown, announcing the return of HWL to pay-per-view, on April 25th! HWL REBELLION will take place from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. AJ STYLES MAKES A PROMISE After the announcement, AJ Styles confronts Alisha Hicks backstage, and demands the microphone. Standing in front of the camera, Styles says that he was the last HWL Heavyweight Champion when the company stopped last year. He says that he was never able to show how dominate of a champion he could be in the HWL, but that that will all change on April 25th, when he goes into REBELLION and wins back the Heavyweight Title. Styles then says that, later tonight, Matt Morgan will be his first example. TAG TEAM FATAL FOURWAY MATCH: The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Lethal Consequences vs. The Legacy vs. The Hart Dynasty All four of these teams were gunning to get the number one seed heading into the Tag Team Title Tournament that begins next week. This match had loads of back-and-forth action, with all four teams resisting to give up and ground to the other, but ultimately that had to be a winner; but the Nashville crowd was not expecting to see it go down like it did. With only two teams showing dominant ability, it was only natural that they would be the last two teams remaining at the end. The Motor City Machine Guns and The Legacy battled for the final few minutes of the match, but it seems as if the pressure had gotten to Ted DiBiase, Jr., as he pushed referee TONY SMITH to the ground - out of frustration - and cost his teams' chance at the #1 seed. CHRIS SABIN and ALEX SHELLY celebrated their questionable victory as the crowd looked on in shock. The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelly & Chris Sabin) defeated Lethal Consequences (Jay Lethal & Consequences Creed), The Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase), and The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd): X C. Sabin beat Lethal via the Cradle Shock in 22:42. X DiBiase beat D.H. Smith via the Dream Street in 26:26. X C. Sabin beat DiBiase via disqualification in 27:32. Rating: -- Commercial Break -- KANE IS SILENT A promotional commercial is shown for next week's edition of "Anarchy", begging the question of who will continue to advance in the Heavyweight Title tournament. Also, what teams will come out victorious, on their way to the Tag Team Title match at REBELLION? After the ad, Alisha Hicks tries to get a comment from Kane, who defeated CM Punk earlier tonight. Kane, however, shrugs off her question and walks away from Alisha, saying absolutely nothing. Scott and Josh agree that Kane may be too focused on getting another championship around his waist. Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round One: Randy Orton vs. Mr. Anderson Randy Orton had some very strong words to say about Mr. Anderson leading up to this match, but was unable to back them up as Mr. Anderson got the victory after a somersault slam. The crowd was not too happy with the outcome of this match and they voiced their dislike as Anderson made his way to the back. Inside the ring, Orton slapped the mat in outrage. Mr. Anderson pinned Randy Orton after a somersault slam in 11:31. Rating: 1/4 -- Commercial Break -- Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round One: AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) vs. Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) Earlier tonight, AJ Styles promised the HWL audience that he would walk away from REBELLION as the Heavyweight Champion. Unfortunately, for Styles, Desmond Wolfe had other plans. This was a back and forth match, as both men went after each other with everything they had, but it was Wolfe who came out on top. He picked up the pin-fall victory with the Jawbreaker Lariat, sending himself into next week's second round, and moving AJ onto other things. Desmond Wolfe pinned AJ Styles with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 12:19. Rating: * 1/4 -- Commercial Break -- BRIE BELLA CELEBRATES As Anarchy returns from the break, Brie Bella is seen talking on the phone, wearing the HWL Women's Title around her waist. She gets off the phone as Alisha Hicks approaches, and congratulates her on the victory. Brie says that she couldn't be happier, and that she would've never expected to win the Women's Title just a week ago, when she was offered a contract. Then, out of nowhere, VELVET SKY attacks Brie from behind, knocking Brie down to the concrete. Velvet lands some vicious kicks to Brie's ribs, and says that Mr. Bradshaw made a huge mistake by offering her a contract. Velvet walks off, confident, as Alisha looks for help. Six-Man Tag Team Match: D'Angelo Dinero/Evan Bourne/Kaz vs. Montel Vontavious Porter/Rhino/Yoshi Tatsu The HWL's X-Division was shown off in this six-man match that saw the team of Dinero, Bourne and Kaz pick up the victory as Kaz hit Rhino with the Wave of the Future for the victory. This victory looks good for Kaz as the tournament for the X-Division begins next week. D'Angelo Dinero, Evan Bourne and Kaz defeated Montel Vontavious Porter, Rhino and Yoshi Tatsu when Kaz pinned Rhino with the Wave of the Future in 10:42. Rating: * 1/4 -- Commercial Break -- Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round One: Matt Morgan vs. Kurt Angle The final match of the evening saw two men eager - and willing - to stop at nothing to get the final spot in the Heavyweight Title tournament. Angle and Morgan brawled from pillar to post, in- and outside of the ring; and referee Ryan Tran even bumped at the end of the match, just before Angle locked in the Ankle Lock. As Tran slowly got back to his feet, he couldn't help but see Morgan tapping from the pain, and he called for the bell! After the match, Angle celebrated with the fans as Morgan struggled to get back to his feet. Kurt Angle made Matt Morgan submit to the Ankle Lock in 16:47. Rating: * 1/4 Card Rating: *
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 20:20:37 Monday Night Anarchy April 12, 2010 Thompson-Boiling Arena Knoxville, Tennessee =================== MR. BRADSHAW MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw, started off the show this week by coming to the ring with the HWL Women's Title draped over his shoulder. Bradshaw says that, over the weekend, he was contacted by BRIE BELLA, who informed him that she would be leaving the HWL. Citing family issues with her sister as her reasoning, Brie effectively dropped the HWL Women's Title. Bradshaw says that he will make an announcement, later in the show, as to the future of the Women's Title. -- Commercial Break -- X-Division Title Tournament - Quarter Finals: Evan Bourne vs. Montel Vontavious Porter This match was a classic battle of speed vs. power as both men were hoping to advance to the semi-finals next week. MVP used his strength to gain the upper hand over the high-flying Bourne, but was unable to keep the youngster down for the three-count. However, MVP didn't need a pin-fall tonight, as he was able to move out of the way of a baseball slide by Bourne, sending Bourne crashing onto the concrete floor at ringside. Seeing his chance, MVP slid back into the ring and watched as Bourne was counted out! With the win, MVP will move on to face Kaz in the semis. Montel Vontavious Porter defeated Evan Bourne by countout in 6:12. Rating: * � -- Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks catches up with Kaz as he enters the arena to a tremendous cheer from the fans watching at ringside. Kaz says that he is excited to see where he can go in the X-Division tournament, and says that he feels like the man to beat, citing his pin-fall over Rhino in last week's six-man tag match. Then, out of nowhere, Rhino goars Kaz on the concrete floor, must to the fans' dislike! Rhino stands over Kaz and says that, if Kaz can make it through next week, his destiny will be met at Rebellion. Rhino walks away, leaving Kaz squirming on the ground... Heavyweight Title Tournament - Semi-Finals: Mr. Anderson vs. Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) Two men with reputations for being very cocky faced-off in the first semi-final round match of the evening. Mr. Anderson was coming off a victory over Randy Orton, and was hoping to do the same to Wolfe before the Englishman could run his mouth, but Wolfe wasn't willing to go down the same way Orton had. Desmond took the fight to Mr. Anderson and, in the process, began to hear some fades cheers for his actions. Anderson did whatever he could to fight back, but he was no match for the Jawbreaker Lariat, as Desmond Wolfe picked up the victory and supplanted himself in the Heavyweight Title Match at Rebellion on April 25th! Desmond Wolfe pinned Mr. Anderson with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 7:27. Rating: ** � -- Commercial Break -- The Motor City Machine Guns come out to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. They play to the Knoxville crowd, getting them to boo them louder, as ALEX SHELLEY grabs the microphone. Shelley says that he and Chris Sabin have been around the world for this business. Shelley says that they have spent time in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, and have been champions everywhere they've gone. Sabin then gets on the mic and reminds everyone that they were the final Tag Team Champions in the PEW at the end of 2009. Sabin says that he and Shelley have made the step up to the HWL roster, and that there is nothing stopping them from winning the Tag Team Titles at Rebellion. Shelley takes the mic back and states that it doesn't matter to them who they have to face at Rebellion, but that their goal is to never let go of the HWL Tag Team Titles. -- Commercial Break -- Rankings Match: Lethal Consequences vs. The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) The new "Rankings" System implemented by Peter Bradshaw saw it's debut tonight as Lethal Consequences tried to move closer to a Tag Team title match, and The Hart Dynasty tried to keep their space secure for their own possible run. However, neither team was able to defeat the other as they battled to a time limit draw. After the match, all four men brawled in the center of the ring, until HWL officials rushed down and separated them. The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) and Lethal Consequences (Jay Lethal & Consequences Creed) battled to a draw in 20:00. Rating: * 1/4 -- Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, Peter Bradshaw is seen sitting behind his desk, the Women's Title propped on the corner. Bradshaw says that, since the title has been vacated only a week after it was won, he has no choice but to award it to a willing owner. He goes on to say that, next week, the Women's Title will be on the line in a match between the top two ranked women in the HWL: Velvet Sky and Natalya. X-Division Title Tournament - Quarter Finals: D'Angelo Dinero vs. Yoshi Tatsu Yoshi Tatsu picks up a very impressive victory tonight, using the Northern Lights suplex to move on to the semis. Yoshi Tatsu pinned D'Angelo Dinero after a Northern Lights suplex in 9:26. Rating: * � -- Commercial Break -- Heavyweight Title Tournament - Semi Finals: Kurt Angle vs. Kane Kurt Angle came into this match hoping to duplicate his fortunes from last week, by defeating another "big man" of the HWL, but "The Big Red Monster" had other plans for the "Olympic Gold Medalist". The two, multi-time World Champions, fought each other tooth-and-nail tonight, taking each other to the limit... much to the fans delight. On multiple occasions, Angle attempted the Olympic Slam, but Kane was much heavy. Eventually, Angle's back appeared to have been injured as they brawled outside the ring, and Kane had found his opening. With time winding down, and with a chance to go into Rebellion and challenge for the Heavyweight Title, Kane connected with the Choke Slam From Hell for the victory! Kane pinned Kurt Angle with the Choke Slam From Hell in 17:54. Rating: * � Card Rating: * [hr] HWL Rebllion - April 25, 2010 - Washington, DC HWL Heavyweight Title Match:** Kane vs. Desmond Wolfe
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 20:21:58 Monday Night Anarchy April 19, 2010 Roanoke Civic Center Roanoke, Virginia ================== A CHALLENGE ISSUED Just six days away from Rebellion, Kaz comes out to start the show in his street clothes, and says he has something to get off his chest. He says that, last week, Rhino attacked him while his back was turned, because he knows it was the only time Rhino could take advantage of him. Kaz says that he's never backed down from a fight, and calls out Rhino to finish things, once and for all. After a few tense moments, RHINO appears on-stage and makes his way down the ramp. Rhino slides into the ring as he and Kaz get into a shoving match, much to the fans' enjoyment. However, both men stop at the sound of Mr. Bradshaw's voice, as the HWL Owner appears on-stage. Bradshaw says that the two men will fight each other, but that it will not be tonight. Bradshaw says that, at the earliest, the two men could take their aggression out on Sunday night, at Rebellion. But, there are only two ways to make that happen. Bradshaw says that both men either lose their matches tonight and face either in six days, or they both win their matches, and face each other for the HWL X-Division Title in six days. Bradshaw leaves the stage as Rhino and Kaz stare at each other. -- Commercial Break -- HWL Women's Title Match: Velvet Sky vs. Natalya Velvet Sky was hoping to change her luck against Natalya tonight, taking part in her second Women's Title match in three weeks, but the Hart Dynasty member was more of a challenge then she was hoping for. Using her strength advantage over Velvet, Natalya held control for most of the match, even locking in the Sharpshooter for 34 seconds! Velvet showed a lot of resolve by not tapping out to the move, but it visibly weakened her. Natalya took advantage of this and hit the Michinoku Driver for the victory to become the second HWL Women's Champion! Natalya pinned Velvet Sky after the Michinoku Driver in 10:41. Rating: (Natalya won the HWL Women's Title.) -- Commercial Break -- MVP ISSUES A WARNING Alisha Hicks is with Montel Vontavious Porter when Anarchy returns. Porter says that he saw the confrontation between Kaz and Rhino earlier in the evening. Porter says he wants to warn Kaz of something that Kaz may not be aware of. Porter says that, Kaz can spend all night long worrying about when and where he's going to face Rhino, but that that is just going to make it easier for Porter to take Kaz's spot in the X-Division Title Match on Sunday night at Rebellion. AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) vs. Randy Orton AJ Styles picked up an impressive victory of Randy Orton tonight, hitting the Styles Clash for the win. With the win, Styles moves up one spot in the Heavyweight Title rankings. AJ Styles pinned Randy Orton with the Styles Clash in 6:39. Rating: * 1/4 -- Commercial Break -- WOLFE COMMENTS ON REBELLION Desmond Wolfe and Chelsea come out to the ring as Anarchy comes back from commercials. The fans are a mix of cheers and boos as Wolfe begins to speak about his plans for Rebellion. Wolfe says that he knows people aren't going to give him a chance against Kane on Sunday night. Wolfe admits that Kane is a much bigger opponent than he has faced in the tournament, but that Kane's size advantage doesn't concern him. Wolfe says that he has fought much bigger, and much stronger, men during his years in England. Wolfe says that he hasn't seen anything from Kane to make him worry about losing the Heavyweight Title, and that every "big man" like Kane has a weakness... Wolfe gets cut off as the lights in the Civic Center go off; the crowd cheering with delight. When the lights come back on, Kane appears behind Wolfe as the crowd goes crazy! Chelsea screams, and leaves the ring, causing Wolfe to turn around. When he does, Kane grabs him by the throat and hit's the Choke Slam From Hell in the center of the ring! Kane stands over Wolfe and smiles as Chelsea begs him to stop from ringside. -- Commercial Break -- Legacy vs. The Motor City Machine Guns In what is the quickest match in the history of the HWL, to date, the Machine Guns "stole" a victory tonight as Alex Shelley countered a Cody Rhodes body slam into an inside cradle. Holding the tights, out of the referee's line of sight, Shelley was awarded the pin-fall! After the match, the Machine Guns quickly left the ring and celebrated their victory as the crowd voiced their distaste. The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) defeated The Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Jr.) when A. Shelley pinned C. Rhodes after an inside cradle in 0:41. Rating: * -- Commercial Break -- MR. BRADSHAW MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT Backstage, after the commercials, PETER BRADSHAW is seen with Alisha Hicks. Bradshaw says that, with Natalya winning the Women's Title tonight, that there must be a new number one contender. At Rebellion, he says, a second Battle Royal will be held to name the new challenger for Natalya and to finalize the standings in the Women's Title rankings. X-Division Title Tournament - Semi-Final: Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kaz Kaz came into this match wanting to make sure that he was taking part in the X-Division Title match at Rebellion, and the only person he had to go through was MVP. However, MVP appeared to have been a fortune teller as Kaz was unable to keep his mind on the match at hand, when Rhino appeared on-stage, distracting him. MVP used this opportunity to hit the Playmaker for the victory. After the match, Rhino looked on with pleasure as Kaz slowly got to his feet. Montel Vontavious Porter pinned Kaz with the Playmaker in 14:43. Rating: * -- Commercial Break -- X-Division Title Tournament - Semi-Final: Yoshi Tatsu vs. Rhino The final tournament match of the week pitted "The War Machine", who seemed to have the pressure lifted off his shoulders, having helped MVP defeat Kaz earlier in the evening, against the younger Tatsu, who was hoping to complete the task of taking out the biggest names in the tournament. Tatsu was taking all that Rhino could give him, but Rhino's pressure was alleviated once again, when D'ANGELO DINERO came to the ring and attacked Tatsu with a chair! Rhino then hit the Gore for the victory! After the match, as Dinero was making his way up the ramp, KAZ jumped the barricade and attacked Rhino as the crowd went crazy! HWL officials rushed down to the ring and separated the two. Rhino pinned Yoshi Tatsu with the Gore in 7:55. Rating: 1/4 [D'Angelo Dinero interfered against Yoshi Tatsu.] Card rating: * 1/4*
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 20:23:30 HWL REBELLION April 25, 2010 Verizon Center Washington, DC =============== Dark Matches Evan Bourne defeated AJ Styles by countout in 9:42. Rating: * 1/4 Matt Morgan defeated CM Punk by disqualification in 0:39. Rating: * Live Show Five-Woman Battle Royal The night started off with the battle royal to determine the new challenger for Natalya's Women's Title. ANGELINA LOVE started things off against someone the crowd in D.C. was very surprised to see: NIKKI BELLA! After a quick back-and-forth beginning, Bella threw Angelina over the top rope for the first elimination. GAIL KIM entered at the two-minute mark. DAFFNEY entered at the 4:00 mark and directly went after Gail Kim. VELVET SKY entered at the 6:00 mark and also attacked Gail Kim! But, after fending off both Daffney and Velvet, Gail Kim was able to get away and clotheslined Sky over the top rope for the second elimination. Daffney tried to take advantage of it, and charged in at Kim, but Kim ducked underneath and hit a perfect dropkick to the back that sent Daffney over the top rope! Now down to the final two, and Gail Kim and Nikki Bella bring out all the stops. They brawl all over the ring with various elimination attempts getting the crowd excited. In the end, Nikki Bella is able to clothesline Gail Kim over the top rope for the final elimination! Just like her sister, Nikki Bella came out of nowhere to become the new #1 Contender for the Women's Title! Nikki Bella won a 5-Woman Battle Royal by eliminating Gail Kim in 12:09. Rating: * � ANGLE IS DETERMINED Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Kurt Angle. "The Olympic Gold Medalist" says that he has been one of the best wrestlers over the past decade, and that all his title reigns should speak volumes. Angle says that he isn't pleased with the way he performed during the Heavyweight Title tournament, and that he's looking forward to seeing the match between DESMOND WOLFE and KANE later tonight. But, Angle says that he's not going to sit by and watch other people in the HWL get shots at either one of them. Angle says that tonight, against MR. ANDERSON, he's going to start making his case that he should be the next challenger for the Heavyweight Title. THE LEGACY GETS A SECOND CHANCE Also backstage, Tim Hanson is seen with CODY RHODES and TED DIBIASE, JR. Rhodes says that last Monday night, he and DiBiase stepped into the ring with The Motor City Machine Guns to see who could be the better team, but the match ended up in a draw. Now, Rhodes says, the stakes are even higher as the Tag Team Title are on the line. DiBiase says that The Legacy have been handed a second chance at proving that they are the better team... the "best" team in the HWL. And, DiBiase says, that nothing proves that point better then walking out of Rebellion as the Tag Team Champions. Mr. Anderson vs. Kurt Angle The crowd was looking forward to this match, and they were definitely not disappointed! Angle and Anderson's history has been well known, stemming back to the encounters they shared in TNA over the end of '09 and into the beginning of '10. Tonight, they rekindled that rivalry, and by the end of the match, it appeared that it won't be ending any time soon. Angle and Anderson battled in and out of the ring throughout the match, and a pair of brass knuckles were used by Mr. Anderson, but referee Ryan Tran was unaware of their existence. Angle fought back, but was clearly weakened by the use of the weapon, and Anderson hit the Mic Check to pick up the victory. Mr. Anderson pinned Kurt Angle with the Mic Check in 18:10. Rating: * � THE GUNS COMMENT Backstage, Tim Hanson is seen with ALEX SHELLEY and CHRIS SABIN. Told of what The Legacy had to say a few minutes ago, Shelley responded by saying that the better team will walk away with the Tag Team Titles tonight, but that no matter what, everyone will know that the "best" time is from the great state of Michigan! The fans don't respond well, booing Shelley from the ring area. Sabin then says that the only reason The Legacy is getting a second chance is because he and Shelley were finding weaknesses in their abilities; and now that they've found them, there's no way the Guns won't leave with the Tag Team Titles around their waist. CONSEQUENCES CREED WANTS SHOT Also backstage, Alisha Hicks confronts Lethal Consequences as they get ready for their match. Creed takes a moment to comment, saying that, for the second time in as many weeks, he and Jay Lethal will be facing off against The Hart Dynasty. Creed says that tonight is going to be a lot different because there is a lot more riding on this match then the first one. Creed says that he and Lethal are going to stop at nothing to make sure they are the new #1 Contenders when Rebellion comes to a close. Tag Team Title Match: The Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Legacy What a way to crown a new pair of Tag Team Champions! The Guns and Legacy put it all on the line tonight, as both teams wanted to back up their words from earlier, but it came down to one team getting the upper hand late in the match... as the match closed in on being a second draw in a row. These four young athletes put their bodies on the line, using high risk moves and speed to get the better of each other. And, in the end. Chris Sabin connected with a top-rope Frankensteiner for the victory! The crowd was not too happy to hear the Guns crowned the HWL Tag Team Champions. The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Legacy when C. Sabin pinned DiBiase after a top-rope Frankensteiner in 18:12. Rating: � (The Motor City Machine Guns won the HWL Tag Team Titles. ) HART DYNASTY HAS A GOAL Backstage, Alisha Hicks catches up with David Hart Smith, Tyson Kidd, and Natalya, who proudly carries the Women's Title over her shoulder. Smith says that he and Natalya have been bred for this business, and that they've grown up watching their family become superstars. Smith says that Tyson Kidd, who he treats like a brother, has been trained by the very best: the Hart Family. Smith says that he and Kidd have goals of winning every title possible in the HWL, and that the Dynasty is just beginning with Natalya's win on Monday night. Smith says that tonight, after beating Lethal Consequences, he and Kidd will set their sights on winning the Tag Team Titles... making the Dynasty complete for the time being. At ringside, Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels announce that, on May 30, 2010, the HWL will be in Hartford, Connecticut for their up-coming pay-per-view: Fully Loaded. They announce that the event will take place at the XL Center and that tickets go on-sale Saturday, May 1st. Lethal Consequences vs. The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) After tonight, it appears that the Hart Dynasty will have a little longer to wait until they can claim hold of more than one tight, thanks to the Women's Champion. Natalya had interfered earlier in the match, trying to get inside the minds of Lethal Consequences, but they battled through and stayed even with the bigger team. Natalya's first attempt was noticed by the referee, and he made a point to keep an eye outside the ring for the duration of the match. When Natalya tripped Jay Lethal again, the referee wasted no time in calling for the bell. Lethal and Creed quickly left the ring as Smith and Kidd looked on in shock. Lethal Consequences defeated The Hart Dynasty when Lethal defeated T. Kidd by disqualification in 15:09. Rating: * � KAZ COMMENTS Backstage, Tim Hanson is seen with Kaz, who seems quite ready for tonight's match-up. Kaz said that he knows Rhino doesn't want to face him in the ring, one on one. Kaz said that Rhino knows that Kaz can pin him, because he did it three weeks ago at the debut of Anarchy. Kaz said that Rhino should be happy - and lucky - that he doesn't have to face Kaz for the X-Division Title. Kaz finished off by saying that last Monday night was just a bump in the road, and that he will stop at nothing to get back at Rhino for costing him a chance at the X-Division Title. MVP RECALLS ANARCHY Also backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Montel Vontavious Porter. Porter said that today is the day that the "Playmaker" shines in the HWL. Porter said that, sooner or later, everyone in the HWL will believe what he says, and that no one has to look any further than Kaz. Porter said that he warned Kaz, Monday night, about getting distracted in their match. He said that, if Kaz was serious about winning the X-Division Title, he would've kept his mind at the match at hand. But, because Kaz didn't, Porter said that he has to watch the Most Valuable Player of the HWL walk out of Rebellion with the X-Division Title. Before walking away, Porter said that the same warning had now been issued to Rhino... because he didn't want Rhino complaining after tonight. Yoshi Tatsu vs. Kaz Kaz made good on his pre-match promise, and made short work of Yoshi Tatsu, hitting the Wave of the Future to pick up the victory. Kaz pinned Yoshi Tatsu with the Wave of the Future in 9:52. Rating: *** RHINO RESPONDS Backstage, with Alisha Hicks, "The War Machine" said that he couldn't help but laugh at what both Kaz and MVP had to say earlier tonight. He said that he's not worried about Kaz's threat, and that Kaz shouldn't consider his win over Tatsu a huge accomplishment. Rhino said that he's ready, where and whenever Kaz wants to go, but that unlike Kaz, he can keep his mind focused. Rhino then says that he appreciates MVP's warning, but that Porter is the one that needs to be worried. Rhino says that he's only got his mind on one thing... the X-Division Title, and there's only one person standing in his way of getting it. WOLFE COMMENTS Also backstage, Desmond Wolfe and Chelsea are seen with Tim Hanson. The male portion of the crowd cheers for Chelsea as a mixed reaction is given to Wolfe. Wolfe says that he's a bit sore from the attack from Kane on Monday night, but that it's not going to stop him from fighting "The Big Red Monster" for the Heavyweight Title. Wolfe says that Kane appears to be insecure of his abilities, and that's the reason he attacked Wolfe at Anarchy. Wolfe says that he's a bigger man than Kane, and doesn't need to attack people to prove his dominance. He says that tonight, he will get his revenge on Kane, and walk away as the new Heavyweight Champion. X-Division Title Match: Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Rhino MVP had sent a warning to Rhino earlier in the evening, but "The War Machine" appeared to not need any advice, as he quickly defeated "The Playmaker" after hitting the Gore to win the X-Division Title. Rhino pinned Montel Vontavious Porter with the Gore in 7:16. Rating: * � (Rhino won the HWL X-Division Title.) KANE COMMENTS Backstage, Tim Hanson is seen with Kane as gets ready for the main event. Kane said that Desmond Wolfe is lucky to be able to challenge him for the Heavyweight Title. Kane said that, if he wanted to, he could've ended Wolfe's career on Monday night, but that he wanted to see if Wolfe had the strength to pull through and show up tonight. Kane said that Wolfe may not need to attack people to show his dominance, but that Kane will dominate by walking out with the Heavyweight Title. At ringside, again, Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels announce that the next HWL pay-per-view will be "Fully Loaded". They announce that the event will take place from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut on May 30, 2010. They say that tickets go on sale May 1, 2010. They then speculate as to who will be the Heavyweight Champion heading into Fully Loaded. Heavyweight Title Match: Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) vs. Kane The Verizon Center was rocking as this match got underway. Wolfe went on the attack first, and was able to hit the Jawbreaker Lariat very early in the match, but Kane kicked out. Kane was able to reverse another lariat, into a power slam, and then hit the Choke Slam From Hell. But, this time, Wolfe found a way to kick out before the three. Wolfe had Kane on his heels for most of the match, getting close calls on countless occasions. Kane's only defense was to take the match outside the ring, where he could use the ringside area to his advantage. But, Kane wasn't able to capitalize on the opportunity, as Wolfe wouldn't go down. Frustrated, and a little shook up from earlier in the match, Kane was susceptible to another Jawbreaker Lariat from Wolfe. This time, Wolfe was able to cover Kane for the victory, and become the new HWL Heavyweight Champion! After the match, Wolfe and Chelsea celebrated in the center of the ring as the crowd slowly began to cheer. Desmond Wolfe pinned Kane with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 14:00. Rating: *** 1/4 (Desmond Wolfe won the HWL Heavyweight Title.) Card Rating: * 1/2*

The final highlight stops with Desmond Wolfe hitting the Jawbreaker Lariart on Kane, adding a sense of suspense. Then Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to the sold out 1st Mariner Arena and announce that tonight's main event will be KURT ANGLE vs. KANE! CHAMPIONSHIP CONFRONTATION Newly crowned HWL Heavyweight Champion, DESMOND WOLFE comes to the ring, alongside Chelsea, to a surprising roar of applause from the crowd. He gets a microphone and says that last night, at Rebellion, had to have been his biggest achievement to-date in his wrestling career. Wolfe says that he had to beat some of the best athletes in professional wrestling on this way to the title match last night, and that he understands that no one was giving him a shot at beating Kane, but that, with the title around Wolfe's waist, he proved all his critics wrong. Wolfe says that he knew it would take a while to become Heavyweight Champion when facing "top competition", but now Wolfe feels there's nothing that can stop him. Wolfe is interrupted by the sounds of Mr. Anderson's entrance music. Mr. Anderson steps out on-stage and soaks in the jeers from the crowd, staring at Desmond Wolfe. Anderson says that things are going to be a little different for Wolfe now, because there's a new number one contender gunning for the Heavyweight Title. Anderson says that, last night, he defeated Kurt Angle, and now he's got his sights on winning his first-ever Heavyweight Title at Fully Loaded. Wolfe interrupts and says that Anderson has already lost to him once before, in the tournament, and that Wolfe sees it happening again. Pissed, Anderson rushes down to the ring and begins to brawl with Wolfe as Chelsea flees the ring. The crowd goes crazy until HWL officials rush down to the ring, separating the two from each other. Anarchy goes to commercials with both men staring at each other, fuming. --Commercial Break-- Non-Title Match Angelina Love vs. � Natalya Angelina Love had the chance to redeem herself, after her poor performance in the Battle Royal last night at Rebellion, but she was up against a well-rested champion. While Angelina put up a strong fight, it showed that the rest Natalya received for not wrestling at the pay-per-view paid off. Natalya locked in patented Hart submission - The Sharpshooter - to pick up the victory. Natalya defeated Angelina Love when Angelina Love passed out in the Sharpshooter in 12:22. Rating: * --Commercial Break-- CHALLENGE OR THREAT? Alisha Hicks is seen backstage with Kaz. Hicks asks how Kaz feels about becoming the number one contender for the X-Division Title, and knowing that he will face Rhino at Fully Loaded. Kaz says that he's very pleased with what he was able to accomplish; he says that he was lucky to beat a great athlete in Yoshi Tatsu, to earn the shot. Kaz says that Tatsu will eventually find his way into the challenging position, but that there was nothing stopping him from getting back into the ring with Rhino. Orton vs. CM Punk (w/Luke Gallows and Serena) Orton had his hands full tonight, as he was trying to pick up his first win in the month of April, but he also had to contend with the outside distraction of Luke Gallows and Serena. Punk, too, was hoping to get his first win of the month, as he had fallen victim to Kane on the first Anarchy. Punk had a little easier time of getting the upper hand, thanks to interference from Serena, which kept Orton off his game for the entirety of the match. With the presence of Punk's enforcers, Orton was never fully into the match, and Punk easily locked in head scissors. Orton struggled and tried to reach for the ropes, but Luke Gallows pulled them away from Orton's grasp. Having no more energy to continue, Orton went limp, causing the referee to call for the bell. After the match, Punk, Gallows and Serena celebrated in the ring, standing over the motionless body of "The Viper". CM Punk defeated Randy Orton when Randy Orton passed out in a head scissors submission in 9:56. Rating: � [Serena interfered against Randy Orton.] --Commercial Break-- SOMETHING TO PROVE AJ Styles and Ric Flair come out to the ring - dressed in fine suits - to a roaring jeer from the crowd. Flair tells the crowd to shut their mouths and listen to what The Phenomenal One has to say. Styles says, that for months, he has been under the guidance of the best wrestler to have grace the business. Styles says that, from the very first time they met, Flair had already started making him better. Styles says that Flair made him realize that he was always thinking about the wrong people - the fans - when he should've been thinking about himself. Styles says that Flair told him the fans were always going to turn their backs on Styles after he lost, or after he dropped a championship belt. Styles says that he now sees the truth, and that he is the only one that will never turn away. Styles says that he's in the ring, demanding a match at Fully Loaded, because Mr. Bradshaw didn't have the guts to put him on the main card at Rebellion. Styles says that he has prove that he's worth getting title shots in the HWL, and not to be overlooked for younger wrestlers. Styles says that he wants to prove to the fans that he doesn't need their backing. And, Styles says that he wants to prove to Flair that he's worthy of being taken under "The Nature Boy's" wings. Suddenly, Styles and Flair get cut off by EVAN BOURNE. The crowd goes up in a riot as Bourne makes his way to the ring and is handed a microphone. Bourne says that, just like AJ, he has something to prove to Mr. Bradshaw. Bourne says that he wants to prove that he's not some independent wrestling "daredevil" who could be stepped on by the others in the back. Bourne says that he wants to prove that he has what it takes to be a top name in the HWL. Bourne says that, unlike AJ though, he does want to prove to the fans that he's worth their cheers, because if it weren't for them, neither he nor Styles would have jobs. But, Bourne says, most importantly, he wants to prove to AJ that there's a new "high-flyer" in town, who has what it takes to become a star. Bourne says that, if Styles is up to it, he accepts the challenge for Fully Loaded... in any match that Styles wants. --Commercial Break-- Non-Title Match Lethal Consequences vs. � The Motor City Machine Guns Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed got their chance to show what they could do against the Tag Team Champions tonight just a few short weeks away from their title match at Fully Loaded. However, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin continued on their winning ways, picking up the victory, and further showing their dominance over the Tag Team division in the HWL. Things might not be looking good for Lethal Consequences, as this is the second time they've lost to the Machine Guns. Hopefully, their luck can turn as Fully Loaded approaches. The Motor City Machine guns defeated Lethal Consequences when C. Sabin pinned Lethal after the Made in Detroit in 12:42. Rating: 1/4 --Commercial Break-- CHALLENGE ISSUED Mr. Anderson is seen backstage with Alisha Hicks. Anderson says that Desmond Wolfe thinks he has the upper hand on him because Wolfe has beaten him before, but that Anderson isn't going to just give in and allow it. Anderson says that he wants to show Wolfe that things are going to be different the next time they step into the ring with each other. Anderson then issues a challenge to anyone on the HWL roster, to a match next week, and that he wants Desmond Wolfe at ringside to see what's in store for the Heavyweight Champion at Fully Loaded. D'Angelo Dinero vs. Kaz X-Division Champion, Rhino, came down to ringside before the match, stating that he wanted to see how much Kaz had improved since losing to MVP in the semi-finals of the title tournament. When asked, Rhino said that he was not "scouting" Kaz, because the X-Division Ttle on his shoulder says that Rhino doesn't need to scout his opponent. During the match, Dinero was on a mission to send a message to Yoshi Tatsu after attacking him last week on Anarchy. However, Kaz had something to prove to the man sitting at ringside, and didn't allow Dinero his chance. Frustrated after getting a close two-count, Dinero attacked the referee and threw him over the top rope! Rhino, seeing the referee down, slid into the ring and helped assault Kaz! The referee, after getting to his feet, called for the bell as HWL officials rushed down to the ring. Rhino and Dinero slipped out and watched as Kaz wiggled on the canvas in pain. Kaz defeated D'Angelo Dinero by disqualification in 13:21. Rating: --Commercial Break-- Kurt Angle vs. Kane Both men were coming off tough losses last night at Rebellion. Angle lost the chance to become number one contender to Mr. Anderson, and Kane lost a match that looked to be heavily in his favor. Kane, however, had to watch Desmond Wolfe walk away with the HWL Heavyweight Title, and tonight was looking for a form of retribution. Angle found himself in a dilemma throughout the match, trying to fend off Kane's rage and fury, and also having to deal with MATT MORGAN, who made his way down to ringside. During the match, as Kane had the referee distracted, Morgan hit Angle with a vicious chair shot. But, Kane wasn't able to put Angle away. Frustrated further, Kane loss his grip on the match and eventually fell victim to a double reverse chinlock, giving Angle the victory! After the match, Angle had plenty to say to Matt Morgan, who slowly made his way backstage. Kurt Angle defeated Kane when Kane passed out in a double reverse chinlock in 9:10.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 20:28:57 Monday Night Anarchy May 3, 2010 Wachovia Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ==================== Highlights from last week's main event between Kurt Angle and Kane are shown as Anarchy comes on the air. The clip shows Matt Morgan hitting Angle with the steel chair; Angle's eventual recovery; and the moment that Angle makes Kane pass out for the victory. The clip ends with Angle and Morgan staring at each other from across the arena. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels then welcome everyone to the "City of Brotherly Love" and announce that, tonight, Nikki Bella will be making her singles debut. Also, Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz will be teaming up to take on D'Angelo Dinero and the X-Division Champion, Rhino. They are interrupted as MR. ANDERSON makes his way to the ring - dressed in street clothes - and motions for the microphone. Anderson says that, last week on Anarchy, he issued an open challenge to anyone on the HWL roster; and open challenge to prove that Anderson could beat anyone he stepped into the ring with; a challenge to prove that he is worthy of facing Desmond Wolfe for the Heavyweight Title at Fully Loaded... and he has come out, tonight, to see who answered his call. After moments of tense waiting, MATT MORGAN appears on-stage, much to the surprise of everyone in attendance. Morgan says that he's been sitting around the backstage area for a month, waiting for the chance to step back into the ring, and that he couldn't think of a better reason then Anderson's challenge. Morgan says that he couldn't think of anything better, than to answer an open challenge and then embarrass the number one contender in front of all the fans in Philadelphia. Morgan says that Anderson would regret making his challenge, later tonight. --Commercial Break-- Nikki Bella vs. Daffney These two "Vixens" of the Horizon Wrestling League made their debuts in singles competition tonight; both of them wanting to prove something for the crowd in attendance. Nikki Bella, who is coming off winning the battle royal at Rebellion, to earn a chance at the Women's Title, wanted to prove that she was worthy of a title shot. Daffney was coming in hoping to prove that Nikki's win at the pay-per-view was nothing but a fluke. Nikki looked to have been taught a thing or two from her sister - and former Women's Champion - Brie Bella, as she was able to pick up the victory and sent a message to Natalya. Nikki Bella pinned Daffney with the Sitout Facebuster in 14:42. Rating: * --Commercial Break-- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with D'ANGELO DINERO. It's mentioned that tonight, Dinero will be teaming up with X-Division Champion, Rhino, to take on Kaz and Yoshi Tatsu. Dinero says that last week, Kaz got lucky, and that the referee got what he had coming. Dinero says that he may've lost to Tatsu last month, but that none of that matters tonight, because he's teaming up with the X-Division Champion - who has beaten both men. Dinero says that tonight, with or without Rhino's help, he'll "right his wrongs". AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) vs. Montel Vontavious Porter MVP came into this match looking to get back on track after losing to Rhino at Rebellion in the X-Division Title match. But, he had a difficult challenge tonight, facing AJ Styles, who finally picked up his first victory last week against Randy Orton. "The Phenomenal One" looked to be on top of the world after getting the monkey off his back, and it showed, as he made quick work of "The Playmaker" with the Blue Thunder Bomb for the victory. AJ Styles pinned Montel Vontavious Porter after a Blue Thunder Bomb in 5:15. Rating: * --Commercial Break-- ANGLE WANTS ANSWERS Kurt Angle comes out to the ring, dressed in a suit, to a big ovation from the crowd. His face holds a solemn expression as he grabs a microphone and looks into the camera. Angle says that he used to make his living on the concept of "Three I's" - Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence, and that over the past few years, he's strayed away from those things. Angle says that he spent the last week re-thinking that concept, and that he has MATT MORGAN to thank for it. Angle says that he has something Morgan doesn't have: the integrity to come out to the ring and issue a challenge for them to face each other one-on-one at Fully Loaded. Angle says that if Matt Morgan wants to settle something in the ring, then he's making the biggest mistake of his career. Angle says that he will be watching Morgan's match later tonight against Mr. Anderson. Angle warns Morgan about "waking a sleeping beast", and that at Fully Loaded, Angle will show that he's as intense as ever before. --Commercial Break-- Yoshi Tatsu/Kaz vs. D'Angelo Dinero/Rhino Last week, D'Angelo Dinero and Rhino laid out a vicious attack on the number one contender, Kaz, on Anarchy. Because of that attack, Mr. Bradshaw signed this match, pitting the four heated rivals against each other. Tatsu was very eager to get his hands on D'Angelo Dinero before Fully Loaded, but he seemed a bit hesitant at the thought of teaming up with the man who defeated him at Rebellion for a shot at the X-Division Title. It was that division between Tatsu and Kaz that led to Dinero pinning Kaz to pick up the victory. After the match, Tatsu jumped off the ring apron and walked up the ramp, shaking his head. D'Angelo Dinero and Rhino defeated Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz when Dinero pinned Kaz after a springboard cross body press in 13:26. Rating: � --Commercial Break-- Backstage, HWL Owner, MR. BRADSHAW announces that, next week on Anarchy, there will be a woman's tag match as The Beautiful People will take on Gail Kim and Women's Champion, Natalya. Non-Title Match David Hart Smith (w/Natayla) vs. � Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) David Hart Smith was given a huge opportunity tonight, as he stepped into the ring with the Heavyweight Champion. But, Wolfe was coming back rested and with his head still in the clouds after winning the belt at Rebellion, and he was eager to prove that he was the rightful champion. Both men help on the outside of the ring, but Chelsea seemed a bit skittish with the Women's Champion across the ring, and both women kept their distance for the entirety of the match. Hart, the second-generation star, put up quite the fight again the champion, but Wolfe's technical prowess and recent experience against the bigger men on the HWL roster, helped him keep Hart off his game. Wolfe picked up the victory after an errant short lariat knocked Hart to the canvas, unconscious. After the match, Natalya slid into the ring as medical personnel attended to her Hart Dynasty teammate. Desmond Wolfe pinned David Hart Smith after a short lariat in 11:07. Rating: * --Commercial Break-- Matt Morgan vs. Mr. Anderson Kurt Angle made a surprise visit to ringside before the match, sitting in at the broadcast table, and sharing odd glances with both Anderson and Morgan as they made their way to the ring. Mr. Anderson had said for the past two weeks that he had a lot to prove to Desmond Wolfe; but, with "The Olympic Gold Medalist" at ringside, Morgan showed that he had something to prove as well. However, Anderson was the one who was able to prove himself, hitting the Mic Check for the victory. After the match, Angle stood up from the broadcast table and stared at Morgan, lying prone on the canvas. Mr. Anderson pinned Matt Morgan with the Mic Check in 13:10.

Wolfe says that he's sure Mr. Anderson feels pretty confident about "showing" what he could do in the ring, beating Matt Morgan last week. Wolfe says that everyone saw the highlights, and that it appears to have been a dominate performance, but that he knows the truth behind it. Wolfe says that Mr. Anderson had help from the outside... and wasn't even aware of it. Wolfe says that Matt Morgan was concentrating on that match simply because Kurt Angle was present at ringside. Wolfe says that Anderson can feel like a man for the time being, but that things are going to be different at Fully Loaded, when he faces an opponent that is focused on winning. Wolfe says that, if by chance he loses the title, than Morgan can gloat all he wants to. As Wolfe and Chelsea leave the ring, MR. ANDERSON jumps over the guardrail, and attacks Wolfe from behind! Anderson grabs Wolfe and throws him into the guardrail, before landing a series of vicious kicks to the midsection. Anderson then grabs Wolfe and throws him into the steel ring steps. Anderson looks at Chelsea and begins to walk backwards up the ramp as Chelsea runs to Wolfe's aide. Anderson grins at the scene at ringside as HWL officials rush out to escort him to the back. Commercial Break The Beautiful People vs. Gail Kim & Natalya The crowd in Trenton was treated to a very well-fought match between these two teams. It was the first time that Velvet Sky and Natalya have stepped into the ring against each other since Natalya won the Women's title last month and the champion seemed to revel in the thought of facing Sky again. This match was also the first teaming of The Beautiful People since HWL re-started, and they didn't miss a beat after their long disbandment. However, the champion's partner, Gail Kim, was a very suitable partner, working well with Natalya in a match that lasted over 20 minutes! There were a lot of near falls towards the end, but Kim picked up the deciding fall after hitting a springboard cross body block on Angelina Love. After the match, Natalya and Kim celebrated in the ring as TBP somberly made their way up the ramp. Gail Kim & Natalya defeated The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky) when Kim pinned Love after a springboard cross body block in 23:37.

BRADSHAW appears to check on his champion. Wolfe is told that Anderson was spotted somewhere backstage, gloating about the attack. Wolfe pulls away from the trainer, and tells Chelsea to wait in the locker room, before walking out of the trainer's room. - In another area backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with NIKKI BELLA. Bella, dressed in street clothes, says that she's very excited about the chance to face Natalya for the Women's Title at Fully Loaded. Bella says that Natalya is a very strong woman and that she proves that whenever she gets into the ring. Though, Bella says that she is going to do her best to come out victorious, because she wants to hold the title in honor of her sister, BRIE, who was the first HWL Women's Champion before leaving the company last month. Randy Orton vs. Kane Randy Orton came out with a fury, surprising Kane with an RKO less than a minute into the match! The attack sent "The Big Red Monster" off his game, and he was never able to fully recover. Kane was able to mount an attack, but for every move he had, Orton had a counter. Kane left the ring after getting caught with an elbow to the jaw, and began walking backward up the ramp, laughing at Orton. The referee counted Kane out and awarded the match to "The Viper". Randy Orton defeated Kane by countout in 3:55. Rating: 1/4 Commercial - Backstage, the door to Desmond Wolfe's locker room is shown, when MR. ANDERSON appears on-camera. He knocks on the door and waits until Chelsea answers. Screaming, Chelsea slams the door as Anderson begins laughing. He places his head closer to the door and tells Chelsea that she has made a big mistake, being with someone who's clearly not a man. Anderson says that, once he wins the Heavyweight Title, she'll be begging for his attention. Then, out of nowhere, DESMOND WOLFE appears, attacking Anderson! Wolfe slams Anderson's head into the locker room door before landing lefts and rights to Anderson's face and body. Wolfe is eventually pulled away by HWL officials and the camera focuses on Anderson, laying on the floor. - D'ANGELO DINERO is seen, dressed in street clothes, talking with a female member of the event staff when he is confronted by YOSHI TATSU. Tatsu says that he's tired of Dinero thinking he's so great and that he's ready to prove that he's better than Dinero at Fully Loaded. Dinero says it's about time that Tatsu grew some balls and accepted his challenge. Dinero says that Fully Loaded just got a lot better because Dinero's gonna be the highlight of the night. Dinero walks away, leaving Tatsu shaking his head. As Tatsu starts to walk away, KAZ, appears, standing in his way. Kaz asks Tatsu what he was thinking last week, when he just left the ring for no reason. Tatsu tells Kaz that he's got bigger things to worry about than making sure Kaz is OK. Tatsu says that Kaz lost that match; if he should blame anyone, it's himself. The Hart Dynasty vs. Legacy This match ended before it really got started, which the fans in Trenton didn't care for. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase had David Hart Smith in their corner double-teaming him as the referee's back was turned. DiBiase rolled out of the ring as Cody Rhodes connected with a picture-perfect DDT, and went for the cover. Tyson Kidd tried to break up the pin, but DiBiase tripped him up and pulled him outside as the referee counted to three! After the match, Kidd and DiBiase got into a shoving match, that was broken up by Rhodes. Legacy made their way up the ramp, celebrating as the crowd let their disapproval be known. Legacy defeated The Hart Dynasty when Cody Rhodes pinned D.H. Smith after a DDT in 2:24.

Angle agrees with Wolfe, and says that it couldn't be more obvious that Angle is inside Morgan's head. Angle says that Morgan has no idea what he's capable of when he gets intensely focused. He brings up the fact that he won the Gold Medal - with a broken neck - at the '96 Olympics. He restates that Morgan made a "huge mistake" by attacking him at Rebellion before walking away. Evan Bourne vs. CM Punk (w/Luke Gallows & Serena) Evan Bourne looked poised to send a message to AJ Styles, with just under three weeks until Fully Loaded, and he was looking to do it against "The Straight-Edge Superstar". However, Bourne was able to really show off what he could do in the ring as Serena got involved in the match, tripping Bourne in plain sight of the referee, thus causing the referee to call for the bell! After the match, Luke Gallows entered the ring as he and Punk attacked Bourne in the center of the ring.

Shelley tells Sabin not to worry about Angle's "Three I's", or the fact that he's incredibly focused on hurting someone... anyone, to prove a point to Matt Morgan. Shelley says that all Sabin needs to remember is that they're from the state of Michigan, and that they've gone through hard times before. Shelley tells Sabin to use that to get the better of Angle tonight. Sabin thanks Shelley and leaves the locker room with a confused expression on his face. Commercial Break Chris Sabin vs. Kurt Angle What a way to end the evening! As this match got underway, MATT MORGAN appeared from the crowd, jumping over the barricade, and pulling down the top rope, sending Kurt Angle crashing to the outside!

Punk says that he's sick and tired of losing all the time... and that he knows exactly who to blame for his record. Looking at Serena, who begins to lower her head, Punk says that if she costs him one more match, her services will no longer be needed. Punk then looks at Luke and says that he needs to do his job and make sure Serena doesn't get in over her head... or else, he'll have to answer personally to Punk. - Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Women's Champion, NATALYA. Hicks asks the champ to respond to comments made by Nikki Bella last week. Natalya says that she appreciates what Nikki said, calling Natalya a "strong woman", but says that they are anything but friends. Natalya says that Nikki is saying what she thinks Natalya wants to hear, but that it won't make her take things easy on Bella at Fully Loaded. Natalya says that, just because Brie Bella was champion - for all of one week - doesn't mean that Nikki has the skills to duplicate that success. "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) D'Angelo Dinero has been a thorn in the side of Yoshi Tatsu since the week before Rebellion; and last week Peter Bradshaw officially signed a match between the two for Fully Loaded. But, tonight, Dinero came out to the ring to face AJ Styles, hoping to send a message of what's in store for Tatsu in just under two weeks. Meanwhile, "The Phenomenal One" was looking to copy the luck of his Fully Loaded opponent - Evan Bourne - and pick up a victory this week as well. In a match that saw it's fair share of high-risk moves and furiously paced action, Styles was able to pick up the victory after hitting the Styles Clash near the ropes. And, taking a page out of "The Nature Boy's" book, Styles used the ropes for leverage as the referee counted the three. After the match, Styles and Flair mocked the crowd and celebrated their win as Dinero slowly got to his feet. AJ Styles pinned D'Angelo Dinero after the Styles Clash in 11:30. Rating: ** � Commercial Break - Coming back from commercials, MATT MORGAN makes his way out to the ring - dressed in street clothes - and grabs the microphone. He stands in the center of the ring and smiles as the crowd voices their disapproval over his actions last week. Morgan says that he's sure Angle is watching in the hospital in Trenton, wanting nothing more to be here to confront Morgan, but isn't able to because Morgan proved that Angle is NOT in his head. Morgan says that Angle might be going back to what got him all his titles over a decade ago, but that it won't do any good at Fully Loaded. Morgan says that, just like Angle, a sleeping beast has been awakened over the last couple weeks; the only difference is that Morgan won't stop until Angle is out of wrestling for good. Morgan then leaves the ring as the crowd chants "Angle, Angle!" - Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with LETHAL CONSEQUENCES, and asks them their thoughts on the up-coming Tag Team Title match at Fully Loaded. Jay Lethal says that he and Consequences Creed haven't been able to show what they can do over the last few weeks. He says that their last match was nothing more than an exhibition for what's going to happen next Sunday at Fully Loaded. Creed says that the only different in next Sunday's match is that he and Lethal will be walking out of Hartford as the new Tag Team Champions. Jay Lethal says that they've been through their fair share of rough times as members of the HWL, and that at Fully Loaded, they will prove they are worthy of championship gold... Oh yeah! Non-Title Match The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) vs. � The Motor City Machine Guns Tonight, The Motor City Machines continued to show their dominance over the Tag Team division in the HWL, with an impressive victory over The Hart Dynasty. The Harts started off the match with a lot of fury and gave the Champions everything they had. The turning point was a top-rope Frankensteiner from Alex Shelley that took Tyson Kidd out of the match, after landing squarely on his head. The champs isolated Kidd, keeping David Hart Smith at bay as Chris Sabin hit the Cradle Shock for the win. The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Hart Dynasty when Chris Sabin pinned Tyson Kidd with the Cradle Shock in 7:48.

Commercial Break - Coming back from commercials, RANDY ORTON is seen speaking to a member of the Event Staff, before entering the locker room. As the door closes behind him, a quick and loud "thud" echoes through the hallway, followed by the sound of menacing laughter. The door opens, and KANE exit's the locker room with a sadistic smile on his face. A red glare comes from the locker room as the cameraman shows Randy Orton, unconscious, on the locker room floor... Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kaz After the sneak attack, at the hands of Rhino, Kaz had to step into the ring with MVP tonight. The cards were stacked against the #1 Contender for the X-Division title, but Kaz put up a great effort. Ultimately, signs of the attack started taking control, and MVP was able to capitalize on them, hitting the Playmaker for the victory. Montel Vontavious Porter pinned Kaz with the Playmaker in 10:45.

Hicks asks how Wolfe is feeling after the attack last week at the hands of Mr. Anderson. Wolfe says that he's feeling fine - outside of the constant headache he's had since last week - but, says that nothing is going to keep him from going to Fully Loaded and finally shutting up Mr. Anderson. Commercial Break Non-Title Match Matt Morgan vs. � Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) Mr. Anderson came down to the ring as the match started, trying to further get in the head of the Heavyweight Champion. Anderson quickly got involved, tossing Morgan a pair of brass knuckles, that Morgan used but only got a two-count out of. Chelsea complained from across the ring, causing the referee to keep a closer eye on Anderson, keeping him quiet for the rest of the match. Morgan continued the assault on the Heavyweight Champion, but after arguing a close near-fall, Morgan had his back turned and didn't see Wolfe setting up for the Jawbreaker Lariat. Wolfe hit the Lariat, much to the surprise of Anderson at ringside, and picked up the victory. After the match, Wolfe fell to his knee - showing signs from last week's attack - and paid no attention to Mr. Anderson entering the ring. Anderson grabbed Wolfe from behind and connected with the Mic Check in the center of the ring! Anderson then slid out of the ring, grabbed Chelsea by the arm, and walked away from the ring taking her with him, as she screamed for Wolfe. The camera pans in on Wolfe as "Anarchy" goes of the air.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 20:40:57 Monday Night Anarchy May 24, 2010 Times Union Center Albany, New York ================== - Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Albany, just six days before Fully Loaded. They highlight the Heavyweight Title Match between Mr. Anderson and the champion, Desmond Wolfe, before showing a clip from the ending of last week's show. They speculate as to what Mr. Anderson has in-store for Chelsea and announce that Anderson will be in action, later tonight, against the X-Division Champion, Rhino. It is also announced that a new Tag Team will be debuting tonight as they will face Lethal Consequences. - Mr. Anderson comes out to the ring - to a tremendous amount of boos - with Chelsea, reluctantly following behind him. He says that he's been getting hate emails and threatening phone calls since last Monday night; everyone telling him that he should go to hell, and that he's going to pay for what he did to Desmond Wolfe. Anderson laughs and says that he's not worried about a damn thing - especially facing Wolfe at Fully Loaded on Sunday night. He says last Monday night was a message; a message that Wolfe's time as champion is almost over. He says that at Fully Loaded, he's going to make good on the promise he made to Chelsea, and prove to the world that he's a better fighter, wrestler and man than Desmond Wolfe ever could be. He says that he's so confident, he wants to add a stipulation to the Heavyweight Title Match on Sunday... before calling out Desmond Wolfe. Wolfe comes out to the ring, showing signs from the attacks of the past couple weeks, carrying the HWL Heavyweight Title over his shoulder. Chelsea attempts to run to Wolfe, but Anderson grabs her by the arm, pulling her into the corner. Wolfe quickly gets into Anderson's face, but Anderson asks if he wants him "end his career" tonight. Wolfe reluctantly backs away as Anderson gives off a sly smile. Anderson then says that he's not going to waste time and says that the stipulation is quite simple: Wolfe has something he wants, and Anderson has something the champion wants. Anderson says that the stipulation is this: the winner at Fully Loaded not only gets the Heavyweight Title, but they also get the services of Chelsea. Wolfe quickly agrees to the match and warns Anderson that he has just made things "very, very personal". Commercial Break - Backstage, Randy Orton is seen pacing through the arena's hallways, searching for the person who attacked him last week. Non-Title Match Angelina Love vs. � Natalya Natalya and Angelina Love squared off tonight, a couple weeks after facing off in a tag team match on Anarchy, and the Women's Champion kept right on track by showing her dominance inside the ring. Angelina fought hard - as it was her first one-on-one action - kicking out of an inverted power bomb and not tapping out to the patented Sharpshooter. However, Love couldn't hold out much longer, as she quickly tapped out in the old-school Airplane Spin, to give Natalya a victory heading into "Fully Loaded". Natalya made Angelina Love submit to an airplane spin in 8:31. Rating: **** 1/4 - A preview for Fully Loaded is shown - with "Letter From A Thief" by Chevelle playing in the background - highlighting the seven matches that will be taking place on May 30th, live from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. - Backstage, AJ Styles and Ric Flair are shown, dressed in expensive suits, with Alisha Hicks. Flair comments on Alisha's attire and says that she's doing her job as the "eye candy" of the HWL. Shocked by the comment, Alisha drops the microphone and walks off, leaving Flair and Styles in front of the camera. Flair says that it doesn't matter what question was going to be asked, because "The Phenomenal One" already knows what he's going to say. AJ then says that, in six days, Evan Bourne will realize that he bit off more than he could chew when he accepted the open challenge for Fully Loaded. Styles says that Bourne doesn't have the pedigree to even deserve to be in the same ring with him at Fully Loaded, and that he plans on making an example of Bourne. Styles says that his goal is to get back to the Heavyweight Title - a belt he held last year - and that Bourne is nothing but a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Commercial Break Evan Bourne vs. "The Viper" Randy Orton In this impromptu "Battle of St. Louis", Evan Bourne was hoping to take advantage of Randy Orton's recent obsession: trying to find out the identity of the man who attacked him last week. Bourne was also looking to send a message to AJ Styles leading into Fully Loaded - and after hearing Styles' comments earlier in the evening. Orton, who did seem a bit preoccupied with making sure he wasn't attacked again, was able to keep himself in the match enough to connect with an RKO to pick up the victory. After the match, Orton quickly left the ring and walked up the ramp as the lights suddenly went out in the arena. Seconds later, when the lights returned, Orton was lying prone on the steel stage... Randy Orton pinned Evan Bourne after an RKO in 13:10. Rating: * 1/4 - Backstage, CM Punk is seen walking down the hallway, followed by Serena and Luke Gallows. Punk stops halfway down the hall and turns to face them. He reminds them of what he said last week; and that it's up to Luke to make sure Serena doesn't cost Punk another match, or he'll have to answer to Punk, personally. - Also backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with the HWL Tag Team Champions, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. Just six days away from their title defense against Lethal Consequences, Shelley says that he and Sabin aren't worried about losing their titles in the least bit. He says that, just a couple weeks ago, they proved that they could beat Lethal Consequences... just like they've beaten every team in the HWL. Sabin then says that he's looking forward to seeing who the new team will be, debuting tonight, because in no time at all, they will become another team that the Machine Guns are better than. Unknown Team vs. Lethal Consequences The BRITISH INVASION made their HWL debut tonight, taking on the number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles, and quickly getting underneath the crowd's skin. Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus made quite a name for themselves in TNA, and continued to hold that reputation, as they took every chance they could to double team the #1 Contenders. Creed and Lethal showed why they were facing the Tag Team Champions on Sunday night, by not giving up, even to their larger opponents. But, the newcomers' size and strength proved to be too much as, at the end of the match, Magnus caught Creed in a Scorpion Deathlock before hitting the Tormentum for an impressive victory. The British Invasion defeated Lethal Consequences when Magnus pinned Creed with the Tormentum in 13:09. Rating: � Commercial Break - Returning from commercials, KURT ANGLE comes out to the ring and gets a huge ovation from the crowd. Angle comes down to the ring wearing a neck brace and walking gingerly down the ramp. Inside the ring, Angle takes a moment to compose his thoughts and to soak in the cheers from the crowd. Angle says that Matt Morgan should be pretty happy with himself, with what he was able to do two weeks ago at the end of Anarchy. Angle says that it's been a long, long time since someone has been able to leave him in the position Morgan put him in after hitting the Hellevator on the steel ramp. Angle says that Morgan was right, that Angle hasn't gotten inside his head just yet. He says that the HWL medical staff, and his own personal doctor, have all told Angle that he isn't cleared to wrestle on Sunday night at Fully Loaded. But, Angle says that he hasn't listened to a doctor's advice in years, and that he isn't about to start now. He says that he's finished trying to play mind games with Matt Morgan, and that now Sunday night is all about who wants to beat the hell out of their opponent more. Angle says that Matt Morgan is trying to break his neck, to end Angle's career; but, at Fully Loaded, Angle will break Morgan's ankle. - Backstage, D'Angelo Dinero is seen in street clothes, with Alisha Hicks. Hicks asks if "The Pope" has any words for Yoshi Tatsu before their match at Fully Loaded on Sunday night. Dinero says he hasn't been thinking about Yoshi Tatsu all that much for the past couple weeks. Dinero says that's not because he doesn't care about the match, but because he doesn't find Yoshi Tatsu to be a threat to him in any way, shape, or form. Dinero says that Tatsu has a huge mountain to climb on Sunday night and that he'll knock Tatsu down to where he belongs... Yoshi Tatsu vs. CM Punk (w/Serena & Luke Gallows) The mood at ringside was very tense tonight as Luke Gallows and Serena had been given their warnings about interfering in tonight's match. They made sure to stay away from the action as much as they could, and the plan seemed to have backfired against Punk as he was unable to withstand the onslaught of high-speed offense that Tatsu was displaying. Sensing the match was almost over, Punk took the fight outside the ring where Punk, Serena and Gallows were free to attack Tatsu at-will. Punk for the GTS outside the ring, but Tatsu was able to slide away and push Punk into the steel ring post. Fearing a count-out, Tatsu pushed Punk back into the ring and went for the cover. The referee was distracted as Gallows jumped onto the ring apron, giving Punk time to compose himself. However, as Punk got back to his feet, Tatsu connected with the Roundhouse Kick and went for the cover. With Punk so close to the ropes, Gallows slid his foot onto the bottom rope, but was caught, red-handed, by the referee who quickly called for the disqualification. After the match, Gallows and Serena got into an argument outside the ring as Tatsu was announced the winner. Yoshi Tatsu defeated CM Punk by disqualification in 16:35. Rating: *** [Luke Gallows interfered against Yoshi Tatsu.] - The final preview for Fully Loaded is shown, highlighting all the matches that will be taking place in six days from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Commercial Break - Backstage, Desmond Wolfe is seen standing in front of a monitor, when he is approached by Alisha Hicks. Hicks asks what's going through the champion's mind, and Wolfe cuts her short saying that the fans don't need to know what's going through his mind; that it should be easy to understand what he's thinking. But, he says that there's one thing he will say - and hopes that Mr. Anderson gets word of it: Wolfe says that he hopes Rhino rips Anderson apart tonight, but leaves some of him for Wolfe to finish him off at Fully Loaded. Non Title Match � Rhino vs. Mr. Anderson (w/Chelsea) Mr. Anderson came down to the ring tonight with Chelsea following behind him, getting the most boos from the crowd of the evening. Chelsea didn't pay much attention to the match itself, as she appeared to be embarrassed by being at ringside with Anderson. There were times, during the match, that a smile could be seen creeping across his lips when "The War Machine" would take the advantage, but that smile was permanently wiped away as Anderson hit the Mic Check to pick up the victory. Anderson now heads into Fully Loaded with a bit of momentum on his side... will it be enough to help him lift up the Heavyweight Title on Sunday night? Mr. Anderson pinned Rhino after the Mic Check in 12:58.

Rating: 1/4* (Natalya retained the HWL Women's Title.) -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks asks Evan Bourne for any last minute thoughts before his match with AJ Styles.

Bourne says that he understands that Flair has given Styles confidence, but that Styles didn't need someone patting him on the back last year when he become HWL Heavyweight Champion. Bourne says that Styles probably doesn't remember that they shared a locker room last year, and that things have changed a lot in the last 365 days. He says that, like AJ, Bourne has aspirations of becoming a champion in the HWL, and that tonight he plans on making a statement of his own. -- Also, backstage, JAY LETHAL and CONSEQUENCES CREED are seen entering the XL Center.

Lethal then says that the champions will get their response inside the ring. Evan Bourne vs. AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) The verbal showdown between these two started when Evan Bourne stepped up and accepted an open challenge from AJ Styles after Rebellion. Both of them claimed to be better than the other and to be destined for "bigger and better things". Tonight, however, it looked as if AJ Styles was a bit more prophetic as he had claimed that Bourne had gotten in over his head. Bourne fought Styles tooth-and-nail, and kept the former HWL Heavyweight Champion on his toes, but thanks to some help from Ric Flair outside the ring, Styles was able to hit the Styles Clash to pick up the victory. AJ Styles pinned Evan Bourne with the Styles Clash in 9:14.

HWL Tag Team Title Match Lethal Consequences vs. � The Motor City Machine Guns There has been a lot of verbal "bad blood" between these two teams as of late, and it all came to a head tonight. Shelley and Sabin were looking to continue their winning ways over the tag teams in the HWL, and Creed and Lethal were hoping to redeem themselves and become the team to take the belts away from the champions.

Hicks asks what Morgan thinks about Angle's comments on Monday night, and Morgan says that he's just happy to see that Angle didn't use his neck injury as an excuse to not be here tonight.

Kaz and Rhino battled everywhere they could throughout the XL Center tonight, and left a path of destruction in their wake. For nearly 30 minutes, these two men did battle for the right to be called champion. Kaz left nothing to be desired, taking the fight to Rhino, even opening up the cut that he received at the hands of Mr. Anderson on Monday night. It looked as if Kaz had the match in-hand after dodging a Gore that sent Rhino through a table at ringside, however, Kaz was unable to pin the champion.

Wolfe said that he warned Anderson about making this match personal, and tonight, he will get Chelsea back... whether he keeps the Heavyweight Title or not. Matt Morgan vs. Kurt Angle** For the past few weeks, Matt Morgan has been trying to make Kurt Angle's life a living hell, by repeatedly going after Angle's oft-injured neck. Angle returned at Anarchy, just six days before this match, and vowed to gain revenge on Morgan for "The Blueprint's" actions. Tonight, "The Olympic Gold Medalist" did just that. Both men fought their hearts out, trying to get the better of each other, but, in the end, Angle appeared to no longer care about pinning Morgan.

Wolfe says that Mr. Anderson decided to cross a line, making things person between the two of them, and last night, he got what he deserved. Wolfe says that he will never be blackmailed into giving up the Heavyweight Title, and that the next person who puts their hands on Chelsea will have a lot worse things to worry about. But, he says that tonight starts a new chapter in his title reign, and that he's looking forward to seeing who thinks they have what it takes to get this title off his shoulder. This brings out AJ STYLES and Ric Flair. The crowd boos as Flair hands Styles a microphone. Styles says that he had a pretty impressive night, at Fully Loaded himself, when he showed Evan Bourne that he was stepping out of his league. Styles says that he had been saying, in the weeks leading up to Fully Loaded, that he would be looking for bigger and better things after Sunday night; and now, he's found what he was looking for. Styles tells Wolfe that he doesn't have to look much further to find the man that's going to take the Heavyweight Title from him, and end his reign as champion. The two men stare down each other, from across the arena, as Anarchy goes to commercials. Commercial Break Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky Gail Kim came into this match as the new number one contender for the Women's Title, and showed that she was deserving of that honor, by coming out on top after a hard-fought battle with one-half of The Beautiful People.

After the match, Velvet slapped the canvas in disgust, and stared at Kim as she made her way up the ramp. Gail Kim pinned Velvet Sky with the Eat Defeat in 10:01. Rating: � -- Backstage, CM PUNK is seen walking through the hallway, followed by Serena, who has her head down and is a few steps behind Punk. Noticeably, Luke Gallows is not with them, and Josh Daniels explains that Luke did not show up at the arena tonight; a sign that Punk must've kept his promise about teaching Luke a lesson for interfering in his match last week. -- Also, backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with NIKKI BELLA, who has her shoulder in a sling. Bella says that last night was her chance to do something for her sister; to be the second Bella to hold the Women's Title. She says that she had a lot of respect for Natalya heading into Fully Loaded, but now, after what Natalya did to her last night, the respect is gone. Bella says that, by throwing her into the ring steps and injuring her shoulder, Natalya was never going to get Nikki a fair try at the title, and then she warns Gail Kim to keep her eyes open... because Kim's next in line. CM Punk (w/Serena) vs. Kane CM Punk has been on a verbal rampage as of late, especially towards his minions - Serena and Luke Gallows. Tonight, he came out to the ring with Serena, wanting to send a message to Gallows, that costing Punk matches week after week would get him nowhere. Tonight, he stepped into the ring with the man who knocked him out of the Heavyweight Title tournament on the debut episode of Anarchy - The Big Red Machine, Kane. Still upset about the events from last week, Punk was an easy target for Kane, as he had his way with Punk for most of the match. Serena did her best to keep Punk in the match, attacking Kane outside of the ring; and Punk did his best, kicking out of two separate Chokeslams from Hell. But, after the third one, Serena had seen enough, and entered the ring, hitting Kane in the back with a steel chair, and getting CM Punk disqualified! After the match, Kane grabbed Serena and planted her, in the center of the ring, with another Chokeslam. Kane defeated CM Punk by disqualification in 8:21. Rating: � [Serena interfered against Kane.] Commercial Break -- Coming back from commercials, the X-Division Champion, RHINO, is seen walking through the hallway; his title wrapped around his waist. He is approached by D'ANGELO DINERO, who congratulates Rhino on his victory at Turning Point, and thanking him for softening up Kaz for their match later tonight. Dinero walks off as Rhino stares at him... -- The newest Tag Team in the HWL, THE BRITISH INVASION, comes out to the ring; Brutus Magnus is holding a microphone as Rob Terry stands in the background, casting an imposing shadow in the ring. Magnus says that, last week, The British Invasion made quite the impression, defeating the Number One Contenders six days before their title match at Fully Loaded. Magnus says that, because of their victory over the then-number one contenders, that he and Rob Terry should then, without question, be inline for a shot at the Tag Team titles - and The Motor City Machine Guns - at Turning Point... The British Invasion vs. The Hart Dynasty These two teams shared some decent back-and-forth action for the early part of the match, but that was pretty much all the fans got to see tonight, as Rob Terry paid no attention to the referee's five-count and was disqualified. After the bell rung, Terry threw Tyson Kidd into the center of the ring as Magnus entered behind him. The British Invasion stared at The Harts as David Hart Smith pulled Kidd outside the ring. The crowd voiced their displeasure for how the match ended as Terry and Magnus made their way to the back. The Hart Dynasty defeated The British Invasion when Tyson Kidd defeated Rob Terry by disqualification in 4:57. Rating: * 1/4 -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with KAZ, who has a bandage on his head and around his ribs. He tells Alisha that, last night at Fully Loaded, was one of the most brutal matches he's been a part of in quite some time. Kaz says that he's not very happy about the outcome, but says that Rhino deserved to walk out of Fully Loaded with the title. Kaz also says that, even though he lost last night, he plans on getting another shot at the X-Division Title. Commercial Break -- An ad is shown for the next, up-coming HWL pay-per-view, TURNING POINT, with "The Good Life" by Three Days Grace playing in the background. The event will take place on June 27th, live from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York. D'Angelo Dinero vs. Kaz "The Pope" was correct about his statement earlier tonight, about Rhino softening up Kaz for their match. Kaz came into this match bandaged from his contest at Fully Loaded, and was still showing signs from the X-Division Match from the night before. Dinero took advantage of Kaz's bandaged rips and hit a vertical face slam for the victory. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Kaz after a vertical face slam in 5:53. Rating: **** -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks catches up with DESMOND WOLFE and Chelsea as they make their way to the locker room to watch tonight's main event. Wolfe says that AJ Styles may be looking for "bigger and better things" by coming for the Heavyweight Title at Turning Point, but warns that AJ might get a lot more than he's bargaining for on June 27th. Wolfe also says that he'll be watching the main event to see if AJ has plans on keeping his promise from earlier tonight... -- Also, backstage, RANDY ORTON is seen walking through the hallways, on his way to the stage entrance, mumbling to himself about trying to find the person who keeps attacking him. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels comment that Orton has been attacked for the past few weeks, but no one has been able to find out who the attacker is. Michaels says that Orton needs to keeps eyes in the back of his head, or else he's going to lose his mind searching... Commercial Break AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) vs. Randy Orton AJ Styles started off the evening by challenging Desmond Wolfe to a Heavyweight Title match at Turning Point, and setting his sights on bigger and better things. His opponent tonight, "The Viper", hasn't been himself lately, as he's been trying to find the culprit for his attacks over the last couple weeks; tonight, Styles was able to use Orton's lack of focus to pick up a victory and to keep the promise that he made to himself. Styles hit the Styles Clash to pick up the victory, and after the match, celebrated with "The Nature Boy" as the crowd looked on in disapproval. After the match, the lights in the arena went out, and as they returned on, KANE was stalking Orton inside the ring. As Orton turned around, Kane grabbed him by the throat - getting ready to hit the Chokeslam From Hell - but, Orton countered it and rolled out of the ring. A look of shock covered Orton's face as Kane stood in the center of the ring, laughing, as Anarchy went off the air. AJ Styles pinned Randy Orton after the Styles Clash in 11:19.

Non-Title Match Angelina Love vs. � Natalya For the second time in a matter of a few weeks, Angelina Love tried her hand against the Women's Champion, and for the second time she faced the same ending result. Love came into this match hoping to work of some of the rest, and to get herself on the winning track, but Natalya has been on a rampage since winning the title. I'm second generation superstar locked in the Sharpshooter, for the second time, force Angelina to tap out. After the match, in a show of dominance, Natalya stood over Love - who was holding lower back in pain - holding up the Women's Title. Natalya made Angelina Love submit to the Sharpshooter in 11:35. Rating: * � -- Backstage, HWL Champion Desmond Wolfe is seen entering the arena, and is approached by Alisha Hicks. She asks for his thoughts of his opponent tonight, Yoshi Tatsu. Wolfe says that he hasn't been paying much attention to Tatsu over the past weeks, but knows that he's been having his difficulties in the ring. Wolfe tells Hicks that he knows Tatsu will get out of the rut he's in... but, it won't be today. Wolfe says that tonight is his chance to equal AJ Styles' victory from last week, and that's exactly what he plans on doing. -- Also, backstage, KAZ is seen walking toward the locker room when he is approached by RHINO. The X-Division Champion tells Kaz that, last week, he was right in saying that Rhino deserved to walk out of Fully Loaded with the title in-hand. But, Rhino warns Kaz that he might be speaking too soon about the idea of getting another shot at the title while Rhino still holds it. Rhino says that, if Kaz wants another shot, he's gotta go through a lot of people to get it. Rhino says that he's already beaten Kaz once, so it shouldn't be too difficult to do it again, if the time ever comes. David Hart Smith vs. Mr. Anderson David Hart Smith got a chance to redeem himself, as he stepped into the ring for his second singles match, but he was facing a very focused challenger. Smith was looking to have a better outcome compared to his last match, but Mr. Anderson was determined to make up for his loss at Fully Loaded. These two battled inside and outside of the ring for nearly 15 minutes, trying to get the advantage on one another. The turning point in the match came when Smith reversed Anderson's Somersault Slam into a crucifix for a two-count. The move clearly caught Anderson off guard, as he was never able to mount a comeback, and Smith picked up a huge upset, hitting the Saito Suplex for the victory. David Hart Smith pinned Mr. Anderson with the Saito Suplex in 13:34. Rating: Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, RANDY ORTON comes out to the ring, and grabs a microphone as the crowd cheers his presence. Orton wastes no time, demanding answers from Kane, and calling "The Big Red Monster" out to the ring. After waiting for Kane to come out, Orton says that Kane is afraid to face him, man-to-man, now that Orton has found out who was being his attacks. Orton says he's sure that Kane is in the building, and issues a challenge for Turning Point: a Street Fight, and says that if Kane's a man he'll accept the challenge. Then the lights suddenly turn out, and after a few moments, they come back on to reveal Kane, standing behind Orton just like at the end of Anarchy last week. Orton turns around as Kane kicks him in the gut, picks up him, and connects with the Tombstone! Kane stands over Orton and accepts the challenge for Turning Point, before leaving the ring. -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is with the Tag Team Champions, The Motor City Machine Guns, and asks them to comment on the challenge issued by The British Invasion last week. ALEX SHELLEY wonders who the British Invasion are, and where they get the nerve to think that they can come into the Machine Guns' company and start demanding matches. Shelley says that TBI have only won once since joining, and that was nothing but a softball match against Lethal Consequences. CHRIS SABIN interjects and says that, if TBI wants a title shot at Turning Point, they have to prove it to the Machine Guns. Sabin says that the "dominance", that Brutus Magnus talked about last week, got them disqualified. He asked if Magnus and Rob Terry were willing to sacrifice a title shot for the chance to show their dominance again... Non-Title Match Legacy vs. � The Motor City Machine Guns The Machine Guns came out to make a strong point against The British Invasion before the match, but things didn't go exactly as the champions had planned. The Legacy came in fighting, in guard the champs off guard in a match that saw the referee take a huge spill after colliding with Alex Shelley. The Legacy used that to their advantage, and ultimately, Cody Rhodes locked in the figure-four leglock on Shelley. But Shelly, not wanting to let his team down, did not tap out. Instead, he fought the pain for as long as he could, before finally passing out, causing the referee to call for the bell. After the match, DiBiase and Rhodes celebrated their victory as Chris Sabin and HWL officials looked over Alex Shelley. The Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase) defeated The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) when C. Rhodes made A. Shelley pass out to the Figure-Four Leglock in 15:29. Rating: ** � -- Backstage, Serena and Luke Gallows are seen standing with their heads down, inside the locker room. CM Punk paces in front of them and says that he's made a decision that is going to change all three of their lives, forever. Punk says that he started out in this business, all alone, and made it to the top wherever he went. He says that, while he was at the top, he brought the two of them in to help keep up at the top; and for a time, it was successful. But, Punk says, now things are starting to get a little out of control. Punk says that he has repeatedly told the two of them to stay out of his matches, unless it was absolutely necessary. Punk says that, for so long, he looked past it, hoping that they'd figure it out on their own; but they never did. Punk says that, for two straight weeks, he has had matches called against him because of their continued interference, when it wasn't needed. Punk says that after having the match in hand last week, and then having it taken away from him because of a stupid decision by Serena, he has decided that he doesn't want - or need - their services any longer. Punk demands that Serena and Luke hand over their t-shirts and "get the hell" out of his locker room. As Serena and Luke leave the locker room, Punk throws their t-shirts in the garbage can... Commercial Break -- Backstage, AJ STYLES and RIC FLAIR are seen, inside their locker room, sitting in front of a monitor. Styles tells Flair that he can't wait until Turning Point, because he's waited nearly six months since he last held the Heavyweight Title. Styles says that he hopes Yoshi Tatsu finds a way to end Desmond Wolfe's winning streak, and lessen his confidence. Flair interjects and says that he just wants to see Wolfe taught a lesson... and that'll have to wait until Turning Point. Non-Title Match Matt Morgan vs. � Rhino This match was over before it really even started, as Matt Morgan appeared to have something to prove after coming up short against Kurt Angle at Fully Loaded, and totally dominated Rhino. Morgan caught the X-Division Champion so much by surprise, that he was able to hit a suplex, and pick up the victory. After the match, D'ANGELO DINERO appears on-stage and sarcastically applauds Rhino, as the champion slowly gets to his feet. Rhino catches a glimpse of Dinero and becomes furious, screaming from inside the ring, as Dinero turns and leaves the stage. Matt Morgan pinned Rhino after a vertical suplex in 1:59.

Hicks asks about facing the Heavyweight Champion, and Tatsu says that it's a huge opportunity for him; a chance to show what he's capable off against the best wrestler in the HWL. He says that a win tonight will feel great, and it would help me build the confidence to challenge for the X-Division Title in the near future. Commercial Break Non-Title Match Yoshi Tatsu vs. � Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) This match was a great way to end the evening in Providence! Yoshi Tatsu gave his absolute all in this match, giving Desmond Wolfe all he could take, and nearly getting a victory over the champion. But, just like in the past, Wolfe found a way to pull out the win, taking advantage of Tatsu's constant complaining to the referee. While Tatsu was debating a near-fall, Wolfe grabbed Tatsu by the trunk and threw him outside the ring. As Tatsu made his way inside, Wolfe set up - and connected - with the Jawbreaker Lariat for the 1-2-3. Desmond Wolfe pinned Yoshi Tatsu after the Jawbreaker Lariat in 14:05.

Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels then welcome the at-home audience to the TD Garden, where the crowd of 8,028 are ready for Anarchy; just two weeks away from Turning Point. They announce that, tonight, CM Punk will face Tyson Kidd in his first match without Serena or Luke Gallows at ringside. Also, Kurt Angle will take on MVP, and The British Invasion will be in action. Daffney vs. Nikki Bella These two Vixen's squared off again, about a month after their last meeting, and "The Demonic Princess" was looking to duplicate her victory. Both women gave their best during the match, and Daffney went for the top-rope Frankensteiner, but Nikki was able to counter it, and hit a top-rope power bomb to pick up the surprise victory. Nikki Bella pinned Dafffney after a power bomb in 11:15. Rating: * � -- Backstage, Luke Gallows and Serena are seen entering the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels say they aren't sure why the two are in Boston tonight, as CM Punk was very clear last week, saying he wanted nothing else to do with them. They continue to walk backstage as staff and crew members look at them suspiciously. -- In another area backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with KAZ, who is smiling. He says that last Monday night was like a vacation that he didn't want to return from, and after watching Matt Morgan embarrass Rhino, Kaz feels like he should be the one that takes the credit for it. He says that he knows Rhino hasn't forgotten what happened at Fully Loaded; and Rhino knows that, if he's able to keep that title for a while, Kaz will get another chance to take it from him. As Kaz begins to walk away, he is stopped by D'ANGELO DINERO, who tells Kaz to find something else to worry about, because he has Rhino under control. Dinero smirks and pats Kaz on the arm before walking away; Kaz stares at him... Chris Sabin vs. Evan Bourne These two high-flyers squared off tonight, and didn't disappoint, as they showed off the skills for the Boston crowd. Chris Sabin was given the chance to compete in another singles match, and Evan Bourne was hoping to overcome is loss to AJ Styles at Fully Loaded. However, in the end, Chris Sabin was able to hit the Cradle Shock to pick up the victory. Chris Sabin pinned Evan Bourne after the Cradle Shock in 10:35. Rating: ** 1/4 Commercial Break -- Coming back from the commercials, D'ANGELO DINERO is walking through the backstage area when he is confronted by X-Division Champion RHINO. Rhino demands to know what business Dinero had at ringside last week during the Champion's match and says he'll beat an answer out of Dinero if he has to. Dinero says that he thinks Rhino has a bit of an "anger issue", and says that he was just at ringside to see what Rhino could do against Matt Morgan; Dinero says he now knows what Rhino can - or can't do - against a bigger opponent. Dinero says that, for Rhino's sake, he can change that before Turning Point. Dinero smiles and walks away, leaving Rhino to glare at him... -- In the ring, BRUTUS MAGNUS and ROB TERRY announce that they have something to say before their match tonight. Magnus wants to know how Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley like the taste of crow, and where they get the nerve to say that Magnus and Terry have to prove themselves worthy of a title shot, when the Tag Team Champions can't defeat The Legacy. Magnus says that he and Terry are willing to put away their title shot to prove their dominance in the wrestling ring, but says that the best way to test that dominance is to put it on the line in a match with huge consequences: a match for the Tag Team Titles. He wonders if, after their poor showing, if the Machine Guns are willing to put their titles on the line against them at Turning Point. The British Invasion vs. Lethal Consequences The team of Magnus and Terry had a lot to say about the Tag Team Champions not backing up their words last week, but suffered the same fate, at the hands of the team they defeated in their debut match. With the focus solely on getting to Turning Point, and facing the Machine Guns for the titles, it was apparent that the English duo had overlooked Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed, who haven't been heard from much since their loss a couple weeks ago. They came out with something to prove; an intense need to, one day, find themselves back in contention for the Tag Team Titles. Tonight's victory was a huge step in the right direction, and it'll be interesting to see what the Champions have to say about this outcome. Lethal Consequences defeated The British Invasion when J. Lethal pinned Big Rob with the Flying Elbowdrop in 14:04. Rating: ** 1/4 -- A preview for the up-coming pay-per-view, Turning Point, is shown with "The Good Life" by Three Days Grace playing in the background. The Heavyweight Title match between Desmond Wolfe and AJ Styles is highlighted; as is the Street Fight between Randy Orton and Kane. The last match shown is the Women's Title Match between Gail Kim and Natalya. Commercial Break -- Coming back from commercials, KANE is seen walking through the empty parking garage of the Boston Garden. Out of nowhere, RANDY ORTON appears from behind a parked car, and attacks Kane with a tire iron! Orton repeatedly hits Kane in the back with the iron, but "The Big Red Monster" tries to fight back, until Orton slams the iron into the side of Kane's head, knocking the big man to the concrete. Orton stands over Kane, and says that he's messed with the wrong guy, before walking away as a small pool of blood begins to form under Kane's head. Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) vs. CM Punk Tyson Kidd made his single's debut tonight, against CM Punk, who came out to the ring all alone for the first time in a matter of months. After ridding of Serena and Luke Gallows from his side, Punk wanted to use this match to prove that he didn't need anyone to help him win. And, tonight, that was partially true as YOSHI TATSU made his way down to the ring, making his presence known, interfering against Punk and getting Kidd disqualified. After the match, both Punk and Kidd - and Natalya - stared in wonderment as Tatsu made his way up the ramp. CM Punk defeated Tyson Kidd by disqualification in 3:13. Rating: * � [Yoshi Tatsu interfered against CM Punk.] -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Kurt Angle, who comments on his victory over Matt Morgan at Fully Loaded. Angle says that he got the victory of Matt Morgan, but now in the fashion he wanted it, and that he would've rather had Morgan tap out then get counted out. But, Angle says that he's finished with Morgan; that he proved his point, and can now move on to other things. -- Also backstage, CM PUNK, is seen walking through the hallways, searching for Yoshi Tatsu, when he is approached by Serena and Luke Gallows. Punk demands to know what the two are doing at the arena, and Gallows cuts off him, asking how it felt to have someone attack him tonight. Serena tells Punk that the attack could've been stopped had she and Luke been at ringside. Punk stares at them and says that his decision was final, and that he wants nothing to do with them. He pushes his way past them as Serena and Luke shake their heads. Commercial Break Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kurt Angle In the first-ever meeting between these two in the HWL, Kurt Angle came in looking to have an impressive performance like the one at Fully Loaded. MVP was making his return to the ring after a month without any action, and came out strong, taking the fight to the Olympic Gold Medalist. Both men fought hard throughout the match, and there were plenty of near-falls to keep the crowd interested, but in the end, MVP was able to hit the Playmaker for the one-two-three. Montel Vontavious Porter pinned Kurt Angle with the Playmaker in 11:27.

Inside the ring, Flair grabs a microphone, and says that he can smell a change coming to the Horizon Wrestling League. Flair says that Desmond Wolfe has been Heavyweight Champion for way too long, and that there's only one man on the roster to take the belt away from him: "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. AJ then takes the microphone and says that Desmond Wolfe has had two great title defenses over the past two months, but that Wolfe hasn't had a challenge like the one he'll get at Turning Point. Styles says that he already has a gameplan for Wolfe, and for taking the Heavyweight Title away from him, but says he has six more days before revealing that plan; and that tonight his main focus is on D'Angelo Dinero. Styles says that he and Dinero aren't strangers, that they've met in the ring before, and that Styles picked up the win. Styles says that tonight will be no different, and that with a victory, he'll just have more momentum heading into Sunday night. Styles advises Wolfe to watch the main event, because the exact same thing will happen to him at Turning Point. Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Women's Champion Natalya, and asks for a comment about her up-coming title defense against Gail Kim. Natalya says that she was going to give credit where it's due, saying that Gail Kim had been impressive when she was in the ring. But, Natalya says, that all of her success will end on Sunday night at Turning Point. Natalya says that there's a reason she's held the title for as long as she has, and it's because she's a better pure wrestler - and athlete - than any other Vixen in the HWL. She says that, unless someone can prove her wrong, things wouldn't be changing for a long time. Saritavs. Gail Kim Former TNA Knockout, Sarita, made her debut tonight taking on Gail Kim, who will be taking on Natalya for the Women's Title at Turning Point on Sunday night. Sarita looked impressive in a match-up of two high-flying Vixens. Kim was looking to gain some momentum heading into her title match-up, but came up short as Sarita was able to hit the Tiger Driver to pick up her first-ever victory. After the match, Kim sat in the ring, holding the back of her neck, visibly upset about the loss. Sarita pinned Gail Kim with the Tiger Driver in 11:34. Rating: *** 1/4 -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Yoshi Tatsu, who says that he has something to get off his chest. Tatsu says that, since last week, he's been asked by other wrestlers and people on the streets, why he attacked CM Punk for no apparent reason last week on Anarchy; he says that tonight he would give his explanation. Tatsu says that, a few weeks back on Anarchy, he had Punk beat... but, then Serena decided to interfere and cost him a pinfall victory. Tatsu says that, now that Punk has pushed them away - and wants to prove that he can win matches on his own - he wants to prove that he can beat Punk without being handed the match because of a DQ. Tatsu says that he knows he can beat Punk, and that he plans on during it Sunday night at Turning Point. -- In another area backstage, KANE is seen stretching before his match against Kaz, when out of nowhere, he blindsided by RANDY ORTON, who chop-blocks Kane's knee, sending him to the floor. Orton continues the assault on Kane's knee before warning saying that Kane will regret agreeing to their match at Turning Point. Commercial Break Kaz vs. Kane Kane came into this match, limping from the attack by Randy Orton, but didn't have to test his knee as D'ANGELO DINERO came down to ringside and attacked Kaz! After the match, Kaz got to his feet and demanded that Dinero fight. But, as Dinero left ringside, Kaz turned around and was caught in a Chokeslam From Hell! Kane stood over Kaz, favoring his leg as the crowd voices their displeasure. Kaz defeated Kane by disqualification in 1:45.

Legacy vs. The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase were announced as the "mystery" opponents for The Hart Dynasty tonight; and throughout the match, Cody Rhodes appeared to be upset that he was taking part in the match. When he was tagged in, he did what he could to help move his team towards victory, but the Dynasty came out fighting, and dominated Legacy for most of the match. At the end of the match, Rhodes had clearly had enough - and after taking a Tombstone from David Hart Smith - rolled out of the ring to compose himself. As the referee counted to ten, Rhodes gained his composure and immediately headed towards the backstage area, getting himself counted out, as Ted DiBiase looked on in disbelief. The Hart Dynasty defeated Legacy when David Hart Smith defeated Cody Rhodes by countout in 14:05. Rating: * Commercial Break -- In his office, backstage, HWL Owner Peter Bradshaw is seen sitting at his desk, when CODY RHODES bursts in through the door, demanding to know why he has to wrestle twice tonight, in two consecutive matches. Bradshaw says that Rhodes was nothing by a victim of circumstance; that the team he had originally wanted to face The Hart Dynasty wasn't able to make it to the event, so he had no choice but to plug in a team to replace them. Bradshaw says that, even though it was unfortunate, he still was not happy to see Rhodes walk away from the match; and that he's sure Ted DiBiase wasn't too pleased about it either. Bradshaw says that Rhodes has another match to get ready for, but if deserts this one, there will be consequences to face... -- Also, backstage, BRUTUS MAGNUS and ROB TERRY are seen walking through the hallways, when they are confronted by ALEX SHELLEY and CHRIS SABIN. Shelley says that The British Invasion's words are starting to come back and bite them, because they haven't been able to prove themselves worthy of getting a title shot on Sunday night, yet they are getting one because they're the only team The Machine Guns haven't beaten - or faced - yet. Sabin then says that it's pretty sad to see the Number One Contenders getting beaten by Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed - two men who will never seen championship gold in the HWL. This sets off "Big Rob", as he attacks Sabin, starting a brawl between the two teams. HWL officials break up the fight as both teams scream at each other while being escorted away. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels say that they are looking forward to seeing what will happen when those two teams meet at Turning Point. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton Cody Rhodes was given another opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of Peter Bradshaw, after walking out of the tag team match earlier in the evening. However, Rhodes was very defiant in his second match-up, tossing the referee outside of the ring, hoping to gain an advantage over "The Viper". Still showing signs of exhaustion, Rhodes was unable to capitalize on the lack of a referee, and was disqualified when Rod Zapata was able to re-enter the ring and call for the bell. After the match, Orton slid out of the ring as Rhodes and Zapata argued. TED DIBIASE came down to the ring and was able to persuade Rhodes backstage after a few moments. Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes by disqualification in 4:31.

Rhino briefly continues the attack, smashing the chair into Dinero's back and shoulders - bending the steel - before walking away from the scene, leaving Dinero cowering on the ground. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels wonder what kind of condition Dinero will be in to face AJ Styles in the main event; and what kind of head games Rhino is trying to play with the Number One Contender before their title match at Turning Point... Commercial Break -- Backstage, RANDY ORTON is seen leaving his locker room, dressed in street clothes and with a bag draped over his shoulder. The camera follows Orton as he leaves the arena and walks into the parking area outside. As he turns a corner, around a concrete wall, he is viciously attacked by KANE! Still limping from the earlier chop-block by Orton, Kane lands a few hard punches to Orton's head and body before slamming him into the concrete wall! With Orton slumped onto the pavement, Kane continues the assault, stomping Orton's midsection until "The Viper" is unable to defend himself any longer. Bending down, Kane gets closer to Orton, and tells him that he has a one-way ticket to Hell; and that after Turning Point, Orton will never be the same. Kane laughs as he walks away from the scene, leaving Orton on the pavement; a small trickle of blood coming from his lips. Josh Daniels speculates that the attack has caused Orton to bleed internally, and wonders what sort of condition Orton will be in on Sunday night... 'Angelo Dinero vs. AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) D'Angelo Dinero had the cards stacked against him tonight, as he took on AJ Styles - who was looking to pick up a victory on his way to Turning Point - while trying to fight through a pre-match attack by Rhino! Dinero's frustration - and his need to overcome the adversity - fueled him into a dominating performance against the Number One Contender for the Heavyweight Title. Styles fought back as best he could, but still needed help from "The Nature Boy", who quickly placed Styles' foot on the bottom rope after Dinero hit the DDE and went for the pin. But, even Flair's interference and assistance of Styles wasn't enough to give "The Phenomenal One" a victory, as Dinero rolled Styles up with a sunset flip for the victory! After the match, both Styles and Flair argued that Dinero had held Styles' trunks, but the referee would hear none of it. D'Angelo Dinero pinned AJ Styles with a flying sunset flip in 6:58.

They announce the attendance at 8,120 for tonight's event. HWL Women's Title Match Gail Kim vs. � Natalya Both of these Vixens showed up to fight, as they were given the challenge of getting the crowd heated up for the event. It didn't take long for the crowd to get into the match as Gail Kim threw the Champion outside the ring, and the ensuing brawl that almost resulted in a double count-out. However, Natalya showed - once again - why she has been Women's Champion for so long, fighting back and hitting the Discus Lariat to pick up the victory and retain her title.

Punk says that he agrees that tonight is Yoshi Tatsu's chance to prove that he could beat Punk without the help of outside interference. Punk says that, also, tonight is the night that he proves that he doesn't need anyone on his side to help him win matches... or to take them away from him. Punk says that it's been a while since he last got his hand raised based on pure talent and skills inside the ring; he says that tonight, that trend continues. -- Also, backstage, Heavyweight Champion DESMOND WOLFE - and Chelsea - are seen entering the arena. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels wonder who kind of condition Wolfe and his opponent - AJ Styles - are going to be in for tonight's Heavyweight Title match. Yoshi Tatsu vs. CM Punk** CM Punk said, earlier tonight, that he was going to use this match to prove that he didn't need anyone by his side; and he made good on that claim, but he had to bend the rules to do it. Tatsu came out strong, wanting to get his own victory over Punk, and his aggression caused Punk to cause a blatant knockdown of the referee which opened up an opportunity for Punk. But, Tatsu was able to come back and even things up -outside the ring- causing Punk to bleed from the forehead, after sending Punk into the guardrail. However, Punk was able to fight his way back into control, and hit the G.T.S for the victory.

Orton says that he can't remember the last time he has been so angry; so ready - and willing - to end someone's career. Orton says that he knows Kane is bigger, stronger, and more powerful then he is, but that it won't stop Orton from coming out tonight and beating the hell out of Kane. Orton says that this match isn't about finishing moves and what kind of technical skills either of them have; this match is all about who wants to beat their opponent into a bloody pulp on that arena floor. Orton says that tonight, with the odds stacked against him, that's exactly what he plans on doing. -- A short video package is shown, highlighting the events leading up to the Tag Team Title match, between The British Invasion and The Motor City Machine Guns. Tag Team Title Match The British Invasion vs. � The Motor City Machine Guns If the crowd in Rochester was not into this event, this match certainly grabbed their attention. For weeks, these two teams have been throwing out insult after insult, claiming that they would show up each other, only to be outdone by their weekly opponents. Tonight, they finally met up and let their anger and frustration out in a brutal match. The Machine Guns almost had the match won as Chris Sabin hit the Made in Detroit, but Brutus Magnus was able to get his foot on the ropes. The referee allowed the match to go past the time limit, and it was exactly what the champions needed, as Alex Shelley hit the Slice Bread #2 to pick up the victory and retain the Tag Team Titles. The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The British Invasion when Alex Shelley pinned Big Rob with the Slice Bread #2 in 24:12.

Street Fight Randy Orton vs. Kane The feud between these two started over a month ago when Randy Orton interfered in one of Kane's matches. That interference set off a torrent of sneak attacks that left both men bloody and damaged before tonight's Street Fight even began. Even with this match being sanctioned - and knowing their must be a winner - the referee did his best to stay out of their way when the bell rang. They battled each other all over the ringside area, never taking the match through the arena itself, but they didn't need to. Orton thought he had the match won, after hitting Kane with the ring bell outside the ring, but was unable to get the fall as "The Big Red Monster" kicked out at two. Infuriated, Orton attacked the referee, hitting a belly-to-belly suplex on the concrete floor! The crowd booed Orton, as it was a side of him they hadn't seen in recent months; but he showed no remorse for his actions as he re-entered the ring, with the bell firmly in his grasp. However, taking his attention off his opponent proved to be "The Viper's" downfall as Kane caught him in the Chokeslam From Hell just as the referee was making it back to his feet. Kane made the easy cover and picked up the victory. Kane pinned Randy Orton with the Choke Slam From Hell in 14:15. Rating: **** 1/4 -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is shown with Heavyweight Champion DESMOND WOLFE and Chelsea. Wolfe is sporting a bandage on his head, from the attack by AJ Styles and Ric Flair, Monday night, and Alisha asks how the champion is doing. Wolfe says that he's still groggy from the head shot, but that the doctors - and the HWL trainers - have given him permission to wrestle tonight. He says that Styles and Flair had to sneak attack him, because they both know that AJ doesn't stand a chance against him in a straight-up fight. Wolfe says that he's not worried about the stitches or the injury - he'd bled many times before - but, that nothing is going to keep him from getting his revenge on Styles tonight... and if he's lucky, he'll get his hands on Flair when it's all set and done. -- Also, backstage, D'ANGELO DINERO is seen walking towards the stage entrance, when he is stopped by KAZ. Dinero asks Kaz how he's feeling after his match with Kane on Monday night; Kaz stuns Dinero with a quick slap in the face! Before Dinero can retaliate, Kaz reminds him that he has a title match... and that he doesn't want to jeopardize it. But, Kaz says that, whether Dinero wins or loses tonight, they will meet up, it's only a matter of when. The final advertisement is shown for JUSTICE.

X-Division Title Match D'Angelo Dinero vs. � Using the confrontation with Kaz before the match as added motivation, Dinero came out swinging and took the fight to the "Beast of the Motor City". Dinero was all over the ring, not allowing Rhino the time to get many moves in at the beginning of the match. But when Rhino was able to get a hold of the challenger - especially outside the ring - he wasted no time in evening things up. Eventually, the match made it's way back into the ring, where Dinero took advantage of a miss Gore attempt to connect with the DDE for the pinfall victory and to WIN the X-Division Title. After the match Dinero celebrated with the belt, in the center of the ring, as he received a mixed reaction from the Rochester crowd. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Rhino with the DDE in 11:39.

Styles says that he is going to put an end to Desmond Wolfe's unbeaten streak, and in the process, take the Heavyweight Title back. Styles says that tonight is the moment he's been working for, ever since re-joining the HWL, and that anything less than winning the Heavyweight Title would be considered a failure. Flair interjects, and says that tonight, Wolfe - and rest of the HWL - will know why AJ Styles is phenomenal, and that he will be the greatest Heavyweight Champion of all-time. Wooo! -- A video package is shown, highlighting the events leading up to the Heavyweight Title Match. HWL Heavyweight Title Match AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) vs. � Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea At the start of the match, Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels discussed Desmond Wolfe's undefeated record, and how, to-date, he has been the longest-reigning Heavyweight Champion in the history of the HWL. Styles got the upper hand, attacking Wolfe before the bell sounded, and took the advantage, getting a close near-fall minutes into the main event! Wolfe was able to fight back, and even things up, as the tide turned back and forth throughout the rest of the match. Seeing his chance to strike, Wolfe connected with the Jawbreaker Lariat, but the count was interrupted as RIC FLAIR jumped onto the apron, stopping the count. However, in a show of emotion, CHELSEA grabbed Flair's leg and pulled him off the apron, getting a huge cheer from the crowd! Stunned by what he saw, Flair stared at Chelsea as, inside the ring, Wolfe connected with a flying cross body - catching Styles off guard - and securing another successful title defense.

They announce that tonight, Kaz will take on new X-Division Champion D'Angelo Dinero, in a non-title match. And, that in tonight's main event, MVP will take on "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan. -- HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw, comes out to the ring to a stunned response from the crowd. Inside the ring, Bradshaw asks the crowd if they enjoyed Turning Point last night, and smiles at the reaction from the crowd. Bradshaw congratulates the winners of the matches last night, but says that its time to look forward to Justice on July 25th. Bradshaw then says that he is out tonight, to make an announcement that will shock some people in the audience and at home, but that he can't make the announcement alone; he then requests that ALEX SHELLEY join him in the ring. Alex Shelley makes his way onto the stage, alone, carrying one of the HWL Tag Team Titles over his shoulder. He reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, staring a hole through the Owner, and shaking his head without looking at the crowd surrounding the ramp. Inside the ring, Shelley stands silently beside Bradshaw, as he announces that Shelley's partner - CHRIS SABIN - chose not to re-sign his contract, and has effectively left the Horizon Wrestling League. And, because of that, Bradshaw says that he has no other choice but to vacate the titles; he demands that Shelley hand over the belt. After getting the belt, and watching Shelley leave the ring, Bradshaw announces that tonight, later in the show, their will be a match between LEGACY and THE HART DYNASTY to name new champions. Commercial Break Angelina Love vs. Daffney It had been a few weeks since either of these Vixens were in the ring, but neither of them showed much sign of rust since their last matches, respectively. Daffney came out strong, getting a few near falls on one half of The Beautiful People. However, her aggression got the better of her as, after what she thought was a slow count, Daffney threw the referee into the ring post! Another referee came down to the ring, but Daffney was unable to keep the momentum, as Angelina came back to even things up. Eventually, the original referee gained his composure and called for the bell, disqualifying Daffney. After the match, Daffney lost it and attacked Angelina as both officials tried to pull her away. VELVET SKY came down to the ring, and pulled Angelina out of the ring, as Daffney laughed hysterically as TBP made their way up the ramp. Angelina Love defeated Daffney by disqualification in 7:31. Rating: * � -- Backstage, CM Punk is seen walking through the hallways, when he bumps into Luke Gallows and Serena. Punk tells Gallows to get out of his way, and asks why both of them are still around, saying that there's no point form them to be here. Gallows chuckles and says that he and Serena had their reasons for still hanging around; one of them being to see if Punk was capable of backing up his promise of winning a match without them. Gallows says that he was surprised by Punk's victory over Yoshi Tatsu last night, but wondered if Punk was capable of getting a streak going. Gallows chuckles again as he walks away; Serena slaps Punk on the arm as she follows behind Gallow. -- Also, backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with ALEX SHELLEY, and asks what's going through his mind after the recent events over the last 24 hours. Shelley says that he had no idea that Chris Sabin wasn't going to re-sign his contract; that he thought he knew Sabin better than that. Shelley says that Sabin not only skipped out on his contract, but also on any possible reunion of the Machine Guns. Shelley then says that, earlier tonight, handing over the tag team titles, and being told that he'd have to watch new champions be crowned tonight, was one of the hardest things he's had to go through. But, he says that tonight was the only way that the titles were ever going to leave the Machine Guns; and that the rest of the tag team division could thank Chris Sabin for having the titles taken away. Evan Bourne vs. Kurt Angle Evan Bourne and Kurt Angle were both coming off losses two weeks ago and looking to get back on track. Bourne gave a great effort against his bigger opponent, but Angle came out strong and carried the entire match. Angle was able to hit the Angle Slam to pick up the victory. Kurt Angle pinned Evan Bourne after the Angle Slam in 5:59. Rating: *** Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks catches up with AJ STYLES and RIC FLAIR. AJ says that a lot of stuff happened that took everyone's attention away from what was going on inside the ring. He says that he had Desmond Wolfe right where he wanted him; that AJ was going to finally end Wolfe's winning streak, but because the referee got distracted before Wolfe pinned AJ, the referee didn't see that Wolfe was holding onto AJ's trunks. AJ says that he and Wolfe both know that it's the truth, and because of that, AJ demands a rematch for the Heavyweight Title, at Justice. Flair then interjects and says he has a message for Chelsea. Flair says it was cute of Chelsea to put herself in harm's way to save Desmond Wolfe from getting blind-sided, but Flair says if she thinks about doing it again, he won't hesitate to show her how wrong of a decision that is. Wooo! -- New X-Division Champion D'ANGELO DINERO is seen walking through the hallway and is approached by MONTEL VONTAVIOS PORTER. MVP congratulates Dinero on the victory and says that it was about time that Rhino lost the belt; but, he says that it's a shame he wasn't the one who took the title from him. MVP says that would've been the way to do it: to have MVP take the belt from the man who beat him for it the first place. MVP says that, since that wasn't how things went down, he'd have to settle for taking the title off Dinero when the time was right. HWL Tag Team Title Match Legacy vs. The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) Both of these teams had the chance to do something huge tonight; they both had the chance to be the next Tag Team Champions after a lengthy reign by The Motor City Machine Guns. All four men put their bodies - and hearts - on the line in this match, fighting all over the ring and outside the ring, nearly getting counted out on several occasions. The match also had plenty of near-falls, but neither team was going to allow their opponents to get the better of them. Therefore, as the match neared the 20-minute mark, the referee had no other choice but to call for the bell, ending the match in a DRAW. After the match, both teams entered the ring and began to brawl - much to the enjoyment of the fans - but, it was quickly broken up by HWL officials. Legacy and The Hart Dynasty battled to a draw in 20:00. Rating: * � (The HWL Tag Team Titles remained vacant.) -- A preview for the up-coming pay-per-view, JUSTICE, is shown as "Another Way to Die" by Disturbed plays in the background. -- Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, Alisha Hicks is seen backstage with Desmond Wolfe and Chelsea. Chelsea stands quietly behind Wolfe as the Heavyweight Champion responds to comments made earlier by AJ Styles. Wolfe mentions that AJ thinks he held AJ's trunks during their match last night, at Turning Point, but tells AJ to "watch the tape", and that he would be cleared of any wrong doing. However, Wolfe says that, if AJ were in the same position, he'd probably pull Wolfe's trunks if he knew he wouldn't get caught. He then switched topics and brought up AJ's challenge for a rematch at Justice. Wolfe says that he hasn't lost a single bout since he stepped foot into the HWL, and that another match against AJ would just add to that feat; but, Wolfe says that he wants to make their next match a little more interesting. Wolfe says that, if AJ wants another shot at taking the title, then he would have to do it inside the confines of a steel cage. Wolfe then switched topics and said that he had a special message for Ric Flair. Wolfe said that, if Flair ever laid a hand on Chelsea for any other reason, Wolfe would make sure to do what Flair's infamous plane crash couldn't... Non-Title Match Kaz vs. � D'Angelo Dinero There has been a pretty turbulent history between Kaz and Dinero in recent history, stemming back to the re-opening of the HWL, but it all came to a head last night at Turning Point. Kaz told "The Pope" that, one day, they'd meet in the ring again, whether or not Dinero was X-Division Champion. He made his distaste clear with a slap in the face! But, all that did was fuel Dinero into defeating Rhino and winning the X-Division Title. And, tonight, Kaz got his wish - a little sooner than he'd hope - but, he found himself in the ring with the newly crowned champion; and "The Pope" surely wasn't about to forgive Kaz for his actions 24 hours ago. Kaz wanted to prove - to himself and the fans - that he was better than Dinero. All Dinero wanted to do was show that his title win wasn't a fluke, and that's exactly what he did. Fueled by his anger towards Kaz, Dinero didn't allow his opponent much offense, as he took hi time wearing Kaz down. Dinero connected with the DDE, but wasn't able to get the three-count, as Kaz had fallen close to the ropes. Sensing that Kaz had had enough, Dinero picked up him for a vertical face buster and picked up the victory. After the match, Dinero stood in the center of the ring - with the X-Division Title over his shoulder - and stared at the carnage he had created. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Kaz after a vertical face buster in 11:51. Rating: ** � -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with JAY LETHAL, who is dressed in street clothes and appears to be upset. When asked, Lethal says that haven't been too many times that he's been upset or disgusted by things that happen inside the business. He says that last night, when Consequences Creed told him that he wouldn't be re-signing with the HWL, it was one of the biggest shocks of his career. But, after 24 hours of thinking about it, and trying to find ways to move on, he says that the only thing he could think of was this: Creed was tired of waiting around for his chance to become a champion in the HWL; he was tired of being held back so that other teams could get the chances he felt he and Lethal were deserving. Lethal said that Creed's reasoning behind leaving was the same reason Lethal resigned with the company; so that with or without Creed, he would make the best of his time and try to do what he hadn't been able to do: win championship gold. Lethal tells Alisha that now he's free; he has no tag team partner to worry about. He can go out and do what he feels is the best for his career, and he doesn't have to answer to anyone. -- In an abandoned area of the arena, standing alone, MATT MORGAN stares into the video camera, dressed in his ring attire. With a slight smirk, he says that he's been out of the picture for a few weeks, because he's had to deal with the fact that he wasn't able to finish off Kurt Angle, when he had him right where he wanted Angle. Morgan says that their match at Fully Loaded was one of the biggest disappointments of his career - outside of losing the HWL Heavyweight Title to AJ Styles. But, Morgan says, that he's done hiding in the shadows; and that if he were given another chance at Kurt Angle, the results would be drastically different. He then says, that tonight, MVP happened to be the one the draw the short straw, and that any hopes of winning just got a little smaller. Commercial Break Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Matt Morgan "The Blueprint" came out to the ring looking like a man with a mission to destroy everything in his path, and the crowd couldn't wait to see what he had in-store for Porter. MVP, coming off his challenge to D'Angelo Dinero, had something up his sleeve for his much larger opponent. Porter came out with a flash of offense, taking Morgan by surprise, but Morgan quickly retaliated and used his strength to gain the upper hand. Morgan looked to have the match in-hand, but MVP quickly ducked behind the referee as Morgan went for the Big Boot! With the referee down, and Morgan trying to revive him, Porter slipped outside the ring and pulled something out of his attire. As the referee got up, and Morgan turned his attention back to the match, Porter connected with a right hand - covered in brass knuckles! Dazed, Morgan was an easy target as Porter hit the Playmaker for the victory! After the match, Porter dashed out of the ring - with the crowd booing him all the way - as a small cut began to bleed on Morgan's forehead. Montel Vontavious Porter pinned Matt Morgan with The Playmaker in 11:35. Rating: ** Card Rating: * 1/4*

Just three weeks away Justice, it is announced that tonight's main event will be a Heavyweight Title rematch between Mr. Anderson and Desmond Wolfe. Also, tonight, Yoshi Tatsu takes on Montel Vontavious Porter, and Sarita takes on Nikki Bella. -- The show starts off with HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw, making his way out to the ring for the second week in a row. The crowd murmurs as he makes his way down to the ring; and the camera focuses on a pedestal, located in the center of the ring, covered in a black sheet. Inside the ring, Bradshaw says that he was a little unhappy with the outcome of the Tag Team Title match last week, saying that a draw is no way to have a match end, especially when a vacant title is on the line. Bradshaw then says that he has made sure that tonight's rematch would have a clear-cut winner, making it a two-out-of-three-falls match. And, to add extra incentive to both teams, he unveils two newly designed tag team title belts; saying that either Legacy or The Hart Dynasty will be the first team to ever carry the new belts in the HWL. Bradshaw then leaves the ring as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels discuss the new titles and what they might mean for both teams later tonight. Commercial Break Jay Lethal vs. CM Punk Over the past week weeks, CM Punk has gone through a change inside the ring. He's been on an impressive winning streak, and was looking to continue that trend tonight, against "Black Machismo", who was making his singles debut. Not having a tag team partner to replace him, Jay Lethal appeared to be out of his game, as the singles veteran beat Lethal around the ring for first few minutes of the match. But, knowing he had nowhere to turn, Lethal found a way to fight back; his biggest achievement was to kick out after Punk connected with the G.T.S. In the end, Lethal took advantage of a mistake by Punk, hitting a reverse neck breaker for a two-count. Seeing Punk, still prone on the ground, Lethal headed for the top rope and hit a Flying Elbowdrop to pick up his first singles victory in the HWL! After the match, Lethal slid out of the ring and celebrated with the fans at ringside. Jay Lethal pinned CM Punk with the Flying Elbowdrop in 14:37. Rating: *** 1/4 Commercial Break -- Coming back from the commercial break, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase is seen entering the arena. The crowd murmurs from the ringside area, as DiBiase makes his way through the backstage area, as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels speculate as to why he is at the arena... Sarita vs. Nikki Bella It had been a couple weeks since either of these Vixens had been in the ring; and Sarita was coming an impressive debut victory over former number one contender, Gail Kim. Both ladies showed impressive skills in the ring, but Sarita used her experience to gain the upper hand on the Bella twin, nearly getting Nikki to tap out, before hitting the Tiger Driver for the three-count. After the match, and a small argument over what she thought was a fast count, Nikki Bella fell to her knees and began to cry; Sarita made her way up the ramp to encouraging chants from the crowd. As Sarita acknowledged the crowd, NATALYA came from behind and attacked her with the Women's Title! The crowd's cheers quickly turned to boos as Natalya stood over Sarita's prone body. Sarita pinned Nikki Bella with the Tiger Driver in 6:55. Rating: ** 1/4 Commercial Break -- Coming back from commercial break, a preview for Justice is shown, hyping the Heavyweight Title match between AJ Styles and champion Desmond Wolfe, that will be taking place inside a steel cage! The event will take place on July 25th, live from Chicago, Illinois. -- Kurt Angle comes out to the ring, dressed in a black suit, to a tremendous ovation from the crowd. Inside the ring he says that he wanted to come out and respond - in the middle of the ring - to a statement made by Matt Morgan last week. Angle said that Morgan let his frustrations about their match at Fully Loaded get the best of him last week, and he lost an embarrassing match against MVP. Though, Angle says that MVP's tactics weren't the greatest, and it's a shame that the referee didn't realize what happened, but Matt Morgan should've known to be aware of who he was facing. Angle then says that, for the same reasons, Morgan wasn't able to beat him at Fully Loaded; and that he was a little disappointed that Morgan couldn't find the strength to get back to his feet and make it back inside the ring so that Angle could make him tap out in the center of the ring. But, Angle says that he has nothing to do on July 25th, and if Matt Morgan really wants a second chance at proving he can't beat him, then Angle is fair game. Angle says that he's been in a good mood lately, and that because of it, he'll even let Morgan pick a stipulation if he wants one. Angle is quickly interrupted as MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER appears on-stage to a roar of boos. MVP says it's funny how Angle thinks he knows what kind of opponent - or person - MVP is, and says if Angle thinks he can do better than Matt Morgan, then they should find out next week. Angle commends MVP on his "guts", and agrees to the match, saying that it'd be a great warm-up for Justice. The two of them stare at each other, from across the arena, as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels hype the challenge. Commercial Break HWL Tag Team Title Match 2-out-of-3 Falls The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) vs. Legacy These two teams were quite eager to get this match under way tonight, and the stipulation added by Peter Bradshaw guaranteed that a winner would be named at the end. Both teams came out swinging for the first fall, with the Hart Dynasty looking to be the more aggressive team. However, as the match wore on, the speed and quickness of Legacy helped slow down their opponents. Cody Rhodes was able to pick up the first fall of the night, pinning David Hart Smith with the Cross Rhodes. Quickly, the second fall went to the Hart Dynasty, as David Hart Smith was able to catch Rhodes with a thunderous boot to the midsection; Tyson Kidd - the legal man - connected with the Springboard Elbowdrop to even the score at one fall apiece. Finally, the match came down to the last fall, and with both teams winded, it came down to the two freshest men: Ted DiBiase and Tyson Kidd. All four men continued to battle as hard as they could, but the match had clearly taken a toll on all of them. Feeling the brunt of it was Smith, who was breathing very heavy at the end, leaving Kidd to fend for himself. The task appeared to be harder then believed as he found himself the victim of the Dream Street. DiBiase made the pinfall to capture the Tag Team Titles for Legacy! After the match, as DiBiase and Rhodes were being awarded their titles; Natalya entered the ring and connected with a vicious chairshot to DiBiase's back! She quickly left the ring before Rhodes could retaliate, and The Hart Dynasty made their way up the ramp, much to the ire of the Toronto crowd.

Commercial Break -- Backstage, Velvet Sky confronts Daffney about the attack on Angelina Love last week. Velvet says that Daffney is "super crazy" and needs to be removed from the HWL. Velvet says that, not only is Daffney a risk to every woman in the locker room, but that she's the ugliest woman in the company! Velvet demands that Daffney stay away from her and Angelina before storming away. But, as quickly as Velvets walks away, Daffney attacks her from behind, pulling Velvet's hair and screaming out in rage! HWL officials pull Daffney off of Velvet and separate the two of them as Daffney claims that she's not finished with Velvet. Yoshi Tatsu vs. Montel Vontavious Porter Montel Vontavious Porter came into this match after a huge victory over Matt Morgan last week, but found himself facing a tenacious Yoshi Tatsu, who was coming off a tough loss against CM Punk. Tatsu started off strong, using his speed and agility to get the advantage over MVP, but Porter wasn't going to lay down heading into an X-Division Title match against D'Angelo Dinero at Justice. Porter ended the match after hitting the Playmaker to pick up the victory. Montel Vontavious Porter pinned Yoshi Tatsu with the Playmaker in 8:02. Rating: ** � Commercial Break Non-Title Match Mr. Anderson vs. � Desmond Wolfe (w/Chelsea) These two men have a lot of history between them, including a vicious match at Fully Loaded that saw Wolfe retain the title. Tonight, however, the title wasn't on the line, but Wolfe's spotless record was; and Mr. Anderson was looking to come out on top - to be the one who broke the streak. He got a little bit of help from the very beginning as AJ STYLES made his way down to the ring, and immediately got involved in the action, pulling the ropes down and sending Wolfe to the outside. Styles' presence at ringside clearly affected the champion as he wasn't able to sustain any amount of offense during the match. But, with his ability to survive, Wolfe was able to kick out of the Mic Check on more than one occasion! Seeing that he couldn't put the champ down, Anderson resorted to using brass knuckles; and even then, wasn't able to get a pinfall! Frustrated, Anderson stayed on the attack, but Wolfe dodged a bullet when he ducked a clothesline and connected with the Jawbreaker Lariat. But, as luck would have it, AJ Styles quickly entered the ring and broke up the pinfall, attacking Wolfe, and getting Anderson disqualified. Wolfe continued his winning streak tonight, but after the match, Styles, Anderson, and Ric Flair made a bloody mess of the Heavyweight Champion as Chelsea looked on in horror... Desmond Wolfe defeated Mr. Anderson by disqualification in 21:59. Rating: * � Card Rating: * 1/4 Total Airtime: 2:05

The clip ends with Styles breaking up Wolfe's pin attempt, and the post-match attack by Styles, Anderson, and Ric Flair. -- Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to the "Motor City" of Detroit, just 13 days away from JUSTICE. It is announced that, due to the attack he suffered last week, Desmond Wolfe would not be at the arena tonight. But AJ Styles will be in action, taking on David Hart Smith. Also, in action tonight, Montel Vontavious Porter will face Kurt Angle. -- For the second week in a row, HWL Owner Peter Bradshaw comes out to the ring to start off the program. He says that, after weeks of thought, he has devised a system for the entire HWL roster in the hopes of bettering the competition in the ring, and to properly name deserving challengers for the four HWL Titles. Bradshaw says that nothing will change the current card for Justice on July 25, but starting the Monday after, the new Ranking System will be put into place. He then issues the athletes in the back the chance to offer up suggestions, if they disagree, but to do so in his office only. He then wishes the Detroit crowd a good evening before leaving the ring, leaving the crowd in a state of unknowing shock. Commercial Break Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) vs. Alex Shelley The Detroit crowd got a big surprise tonight as their hometown favorite, Alex Shelley made his singles debut against one-half of the Hart Dynasty. Shelley definitely had the crowd behind him tonight, but Kidd was looking for a small bit or redemption after coming up short-handed in the Hart Dynasty's bid to win the Tag Team Titles last week; and, as always, Natalya would be a threat at ringside. The match started off as expected, with both men showing off their speed and aerial skills, but Kidd had the extra advantage of the Women's Champion outside the ring. Natalya used that advantage wisely, distracting Shelley throughout the match, and ultimately leading him to walk blindly into a Springboard Elbowdrop that Kidd used to pick up the victory. After the match, as Kidd and Natalya left the ring, the Detroit crowd respectively applauded their own as Shelley got to his feet. Tyson Kidd pinned Alex Shelley with a Springboard Elbowdrop in 0:15:49. Rating: *** � Commercial Break -- Backstage, YOSHI TATSU is seen stretching when he is approached by KAZ. Kaz says that this is their time to shine; that they were impressive in their first tag match together, and that if they're successful again, they could find themselves getting closer to the Tag Team Titles. Tatsu stands, and says that the two of them worked well for one night, but that there's still a lot of tension between them based around the X-Division Title. He says that, tonight, they must work together one more time against The British Invasion, and that after that they can see if the Tag Team Titles are something reachable... Daffney vs. Velvet Sky This match was signed last week after Velvet Sky confronted Daffney about a post-match attack on Angelina Love two weeks ago, and Velvet wanted to get some retribution for her Beautiful People partner. She put up a valiant effort tonight, but the craziest Vixen on the roster - and the more experienced - used a mixed of skills and psychotic behavior to get the better of her opponent. Daffney was able to hit the Lobotomy - a move that hasn't been seen too often here in the HWL - to pick up the victory. After the match, the deranged Vixen unleashed a fury of punches onto Velvet while screaming, before the referee was able to pull her away and escort her out of the ring. Velvet Sky looked on in horror as Daffney and the referee left ringside. Daffney pinned Velvet Sky with the Lobotomy in 0:13:29. Rating: ** � Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, the newly crowned Tag Team Champions, LEGACY, make their way to the ring; the new Tag Team titles wrapped securely around their waists. Cody Rhodes grabs a microphone and says that he couldn't feel better than he does right now with the titles in his and Ted DiBiase's possession. He says that he and Ted had to wait a very long time, but that it was worth waiting for, when the referee's hand went down for the one-two-three last week against The Hart Dynasty. Rhodes says that it was only a matter of time before they would be named champions, and now that they have the titles, they plan on holding onto them for as long as possible. Ted DiBiase then gets on the microphone, and says that they are going to be fighting champions; not like the former champions, who he won't mention by name. He says that they are out, tonight, to issue an open challenge to any of the remaining teams on the HWL roster for a Tag Team Title match at Justice on July 25th. This brings out THE HART DYNASTY, who walk on-stage as the crowd roars in cheers. David Hart Smith says that there is only one reason behind Legacy being Tag Team Champions, and they have no one to thank but "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Sr. Smith then asks for a video to be played on the Titantron, that shows footage from backstage at last week's show. The footage shows Ted DiBiase, Sr. offering the referee a large wad of cash in return for calling the match in Legacy's favor. The clip ends, and the arena rocks with boos as DiBiase and Rhodes look around in horror. Smith says that, if nothing else, they deserve a rematch at Justice before anyone else on the roster. And, he says if Legacy doesn't accept, then they will have to answer to the Owner, himself. The Hart Dynasty leaves the stage as Cody Rhodes stares at Ted DiBiase in the center of the ring. Commercial Break Yoshi Tatsu/Kaz vs. The British Invasion It had been some time since Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz teamed up in an HWL ring, but tonight they tried their luck again, taking on The British Invasion. Brutus Magnus and Rob Terry have been having some trouble of their own, losing their last two matches after very impressive debut some time ago. Their troubles seemed to continue tonight as DAVID HART SMITH surprisingly made his way down to the ring and attacked Rob Terry! However, after the attack, tonight, they were the stronger and more well-aligned team which proved to serve them very well. Tatsu and Kaz had their moments of friendly partnership, but more often than not, they tried to out-do each other inside the ring. This gave The British Invasion all the needed as Rob Terry was able to decapitate Tatsu with a Jumping Spin Kick to pick up the victory. A The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Kaz when R. Terry pinned Y. Tatsu with the Jumping Spin Kick in 0:16:01. Rating: *** � [David Hart Smith interfered against Rob Terry.] Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love are seen in Peter Bradshaw's office, and demand that they face Daffney next week in a Handicap Match. Velvet says that it's not fair, the way Daffney has been treating them over the last few weeks; and Angelina says they want to teach her a lesson. Bradshaw says that he has noticed the way Daffney has been acting, and that he will give their request some thought. The two Vixens celebrate and leave the office as Bradshaw smirks and shakes his head... Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kurt Angle This match was signed last week after a tense confrontation between these two HWL Superstars, and both men wanted to prove that they could back up their words. Angle wanted to make sure he could have a better outcome against Porter, and MVP wanted to send a message to D'Angelo Dinero and to prove that he was more than just a "warm-up match" for "The Olympic Gold Medalist". However, neither men were able to successfully follow through on their words, as MATT MORGAN made his way down to the ring and attack Angle during his pinfall attempt. As the referee called for the bell, Morgan grabbed Angle and tossed him shoulder-first into the ring post. Kurt Angle defeated Montel Vontavious Porter by disqualification in 0:13:07. Rating: ** � [Matt Morgan interfered against Kurt Angle.] Commercial Break David Hart Smith (w/Natalya) vs. AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair) "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles found himself with a big burden across the ring from him tonight, taking on the second-generation Superstar in David Hart Smith. The odds were evened outside the ring between Natalya and Ric Flair, so the match came down to Smith's power and Styles' speed. The strength was used to Hart's advantage as he was able to get the upper hand early in the match, and held it for the duration... until "The Nature Boy" distracted Smith by confronting Natalya. With Smith's attention diverted, Styles saw his chance, and rolled up Smith in an inside cradle, pulling his tights as the referee counted one-two-three. After the match, Styles quickly rolled out of the ring, and he and Flair made their way up the ramp as Smith and Natalya stared in shock. AJ Styles pinned David Hart Smith after a rolling cradle in 0:15:01. Rating: � Card Rating: * Air Time: 2:07
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 21:58:34 Monday Night Anarchy July 19, 2010 Van Andel Arena Grand Rapids, Michigan Evan Bourne vs. Matt Morgan The night got off to a quick start in this match-up of speed versus strength. Both men had the crowd going early on, as the action inside the ring went back and forth, with neither man being able to get a firm grip on the match. Midway through the match, the tide turned when Bourne was able to connect with a jawbreaker that visibly stunned "The Blueprint". Bourne took advantage of the move, as Morgan was never able to regain his composure, and was able to wear down his bigger opponent with his speed and agility. Bourne finished off the unexpected upset by hitting the Shooting Star Press for the 1-2-3. The loss puts a lot of questions on the line as Morgan awaits word on whether or not he will get his rematch against Kurt Angle this Sunday night at Justice... Evan Bourne pinned Matt Morgan with the Shooting Star Press in 0:12:27. Rating: * � -- Backstage, Ric Flair and AJ Styles entered the arena, dressed in finely pressed suit, to a roar of boos from the crowd. Continuing through the hallways, they were confronted by MR. ANDERSON. Anderson said that, even though he and AJ had both already challenged Desmond Wolfe for the Heavyweight Title, he thought that he had a surefire way for AJ to walk away with the gold this Sunday night; however, Anderson stipulated that, if the AJ and Flair take his advice, and AJ walks out of Justice as the new Heavyweight Champion, the first person that gets a title shot is Anderson. Clearly interested, Styles and Flair walk with Anderson out of view of the camera. -- Also, backstage, YOSHI TATSU is confronted by KAZ. Kaz said that things didn't go very smoothly last week, when it came to their tag team match against The British Invasion, but that he wanted to get on the same track in order for the two of them to taste gold for the first time. He told Tatsu that he's willing to do whatever it takes to get the team on a winning streak... just as long as Tatsu is willing to do the same. Kaz then left Tatsu alone, staring after Kaz. Handicap Match Daffney vs. The Beautiful People This match was set up after Daffney's blatant disregard for either Angelina Love or Velvet Sky's safety, or for any of the basic rules held within the business. For weeks, Daffney had been making TBP's life miserable, defeating them in the ring, and then continuing the onslaught until HWL officials forced her off them. HWL President agreed, that Daffney's actions were out of line, and allowed TBP the advantage of the Handicap Match tonight. However, Daffney has proven to be quite intimidating inside the ring, and tonight was no different. Angelina and Velvet did what they could to use their advantage to wear down Daffney, but their opponent's experience allowed her to never really lose control. After getting frustrated with Velvet's apparent fear of Daffney, Angelina tagged herself in but soon made a mistake that landed her in a reverse headlock backbreaker! It didn't take long for Angelina to tap out, and award Daffney her third straight victory over The Beautiful People. Daffney defeated The Beautiful People (Angeling Love & Velvet Sky) when Love passed out in a half Boston in 0:09:47. Rating: ** Commercial Break -- Coming back from the break, Alisha Hicks is seen with HWL Owner Peter Bradshaw, who said that over the weekend, he had finalized the details for the match between KURT ANGLE and MATT MORGAN for this Sunday at Justice. Bradshaw announced that the two men would compete in a Last Man Standing Match; and that over the next few days, Bradshaw would be getting signatures from both men, making the match official before Sunday night. -- Backstage, MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER confronted X-Division Champion D'ANGELO DINERO, wishing him good luck tonight against Desmond Wolfe. Porter says that he realizes both men are undefeated, but if Dinero wanted to retain the title at Justice, he'd better make sure to come out on top. Porter then walked away, leaving Dinero with a disgusted look on his face. David Hart Smith (w/Natalya) vs. CM Punk Last week, David Hart Smith interjected himself into the tag team match between The British Invasion and Legacy, but tonight he found himself facing off against a very determined CM Punk. Both of these men showed that they weren't going to back down from the fight, and neither of them gave the advantage to their opponent. The crowd loved the fact that a majority of the match was spent at ringside, using everything from the ring apron to the guardrail as weapons. However, after take a late advantage, David Hart Smith connected with a Running Powerslam, but CM Punk was able to kick out before the three-count. Enraged, Smith viciously threw the referee into the guardrail, before turning his attention back to Punk. Dazed, and slowly getting back to his feet, the referee had enough power to call for the bell, and award the match to CM Punk via disqualification. After the match, as Smith and Natalya made their way up the ramp, SARITA appeared on-stage, to a tremendous cheer from the crowd! Sarita said that Natalya crossed a line the other week, attacking her with the Women's Title, and that this Sunday, at Justice, Sarita would "gladly" take the belt off Natalya's hands. She then slapped the Women's Champion before turning and heading backstage. Natalya and DHS could only stand in shock as the crowed continued to cheer. CM Punk defeated David Hart Smith by disqualification in 0:11:07.

She nods politely to a few of the staff members, talking against the wall, but is stopped suddenly as RIC FLAIR turns the corner. With a huge smile on his face, Flair tells Chelsea that she's just the person he's been looking for; and that he doesn't want to do anything to her. He says, if she's interested, he has a proposition for her - and pulls out a wad of $100 bills from his pocket. Chelsea, intrigued, looks around before following Flair down the hallway and off-camera. Non-Title Match The British Invasion vs. � Legacy Brutus Magnus and Rob Terry had a chance tonight to put a pothole in Legacy's road to Justice, taking on the Tag Team Champions in a non-title match. The two bigger, stronger Brits struggled at the beginning to match up with the agility and speed of the smaller champions. But, to make matters more interesting, THE HART DYNASTY did not waste much time making their presence known at ringside. After inadvertently pulling the top rope down on Brutus Magnus, David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd stayed quiet, not wanting to ruin things for their supposed allies for the night. The miscue, however, gave the champions all they needed, and as Rob Terry went for a massive clothesline, Ted DiBiase reversed it into a backslide for the 1-2-3! After the match, Tyson Kidd distracted Cody Rhodes outside the ring, as David Hart Smith slid in and attacked DiBiase! After a vicious clothesline, Smith picked up DiBiase and planted him with a Running Powerslam.

Annoyed by his presence, Dinero asks if Porter is there to wish him luck - again - on his match against Desmond Wolfe. Porter says, in fact, that he is there to wish him luck because he knows how tough of an opponent the Heavyweight Champion is. Dinero says nothing in response, and Porter begins to walk away, as Dinero returns to stretching. Suddenly, Porter returns and attacks Dinero from behind! Porter sends Dinero back-first into the cement wall before landing a few swift kicks to the X-Division Champ's ribs. Satisfied, Porter walks away, as Dinero is seen gasping for air. Commercial Break Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) vs. Rhino vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Kane This match was nothing more of a showcase for the fans in Grand Rapids tonight. It was also a chance for Tyson Kidd to prove that he could take on some of the bigger talent in the HWL. The fans were not disappointed as this match went way beyond anyone's expectations! Neither man was willing to go down for nearly the first 30 minutes, but finally, Rhino was able to connect with a Gore to big away the biggest man in the match - Kane. The battling continued until Tyson Kidd score a huge upset over Mr. Anderson, connecting with a Springboard Elbowdrop to pick up the second pinfall. Coming down to the final two participants, Kidd looked like he had a shot of pulling off a major victory for himself, but Natalya decided to help in the only way she could, tripping Rhino, to take him off his game. However, Natalya's actions were seen in clear view of the referee, who quickly called for the bell, disqualifying Kidd. Visibly upset, Kidd turned and had some words for Natalya, unaware that "The Man Beast" was waiting. As Kidd turned around, he was met with a vicious Gore as the crowd began to boo.

He waited at ringside for a few minutes before making his presence clear, pulling down the top rope and attacking "The Viper" outside the ring! The attack kept Orton out of the match, and allowed Bourne to pin Kaz for the only fall in the match. With very little time left, Bourne went outside the ring, and threw Orton back in.

Sarita says that she has faced a lot of great competition - not only in the HWL, but around the world - and, that she has seen great champions at all levels. And, she admits that Natalya has been a great Women's Champion, but tonight, Sarita feels confident about being the one to end Natalya's reign as champion.

Mr. Anderson vs. Kane These two men took part in the Fatal Four Way match, six days ago on Anarchy, and squared off once again tonight. Kane has been pretty quiet as of late, and was hoping for a better showing than the one he gave on Monday night. Mr. Anderson, too, has been pretty quiet himself, but has recently put himself in a position of alignment with AJ Styles and Ric Flair. Tonight, he appeared to be making a case for their approval, as he used every trick in the book to get the better of "The Big Red Monster". However, none of them worked - including the multiple shots with the brass knuckles - and Kane was able to connect with the Chokeslam From Hell for the 1-2-3.

HWL Tag Team Title Match The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) vs. � Legacy At this point in the pay-per-view, this rematch from Anarchy three weeks ago, was the highlight of the event. Over the past few weeks, both of these teams had grown to resent one another, and they finally got the chance to let their aggression out, tonight, with the titles on the line. Neither team was willing to lay down and die, as numerous times everyone involved was able to fight back from what seemed to be certain defeat. With no give in sight, and the time limit nearing it's end, Ted DiBiase connected with the Dream Street, but David Hart Smith was barely able to get his foot on the ropes to break up the pin. Soon after, the time limit passed, however, the referee let the match continue, much to the appreciation of the fans! After jockeying for position, The Harts were able to take control and hit the Springboard Hart Attack out of nowhere!

He says that he's been waiting a long time to get back into the ring with Angle, and that the stipulation couldn't be more perfect for this match - and for how he's feeling coming into it. He says that tonight, he will make things even with Angle, and set his sights to more important matters. -- At ringside, HWL Owner Peter Bradshaw surprises the fans, by coming out to the ring with an announcement. Bradshaw says that, on Monday night, D'Angelo Dinero had suffered a leg injury in his non-title match against Desmond Wolfe. There, because of the rules stating that he must defend the belt at least once every 30 days, and knowing that those 30 days would end before he returns, Dinero would be stripped of the X-Division Title. However, he says, the title will still be on the line tonight, before announcing both Montel Vontavious Porter and Jay Lethal as the two men who would be challenging for the belt. Bradshaw then leaves the ring, and joins the broadcast team at ringside. X-Division Title Match Jay Lethal vs. Montel Vontavious Porter Jay Lethal found himself challenging for the X-Division Title tonight, as the impromptu number two, taking on MVP, who was already scheduled to take on Dinero before the champion's injury. Lethal clearly had the fans on his side in the match, as he was trying to further his singles resume, in only his second singles match since Consequences Creed left the company, however, MVP has challenged for the title before - and had dealt with being in X-Division matches before - and, he used that experience to his advantage, hitting the Playmaker to pick up the 1-2-3, and become the new X-Division Champion.

He says that he would've given anything to have pinned Morgan to the canvas, but he had to settle for making him tap after the bell rang. He says that, just like Morgan, Angle still has something to prove, and with this match, he intends on doing just that. Angle says that, this time, Morgan will have no excuse to use when he loses for the second time to the "Olympic Gold Medalist". -- Back at ringside, Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels readdress the AJ Styles-Desmond Wolfe match, scheduled for later tonight. They say that it is the second match between the two, and that tonight, a steel cage will keep them confined to the ring area, with pinfalls and submissions as ways to win the match, as well as being the first one to escape the cage. Last Man Standing Match Matt Morgan vs. Kurt Angle Matt Morgan and Kurt Angle have both waited for this match for nearly two months. They were given the entire arena to use at their will, and they didn't hesitate to do just that. This match was mostly fought throughout the crowd, and on both levels of the arena, but thanks to the Jumbotron, those fans who weren't directly near the action didn't miss a thing! Angle was cut open pretty early on, taking a shot from the ring bell, but continued to fight on as the blood poured from his face; he even managed to get a very close near-fall on "The Blueprint". However, over the course of the nearly-hour long match, the constant loss of blood began to take it's toll on the "Olympic Gold Medalist", and Morgan was able to connect with a vicious power slam onto the concrete floor to pick up a very impressive - and brutal - victory. Matt Morgan pinned Kurt Angle after a power slam in 0:44:05.

HWL Heavyweight Title Match (Cage Match) AJ Styles vs. � Desmond Wolfe With the amount of anticipation this match had coming into tonight, the fans can blame AJ Styles and Ric Flair for the events that took place. Sensing that Wolfe would have the advantage with Styles all alone, Flair and Mr. Anderson appeared on-stage, distracting Wolfe, as Styles watched, smiling. Flair got a microphone and announced that he had an announcement that would change Wolfe's life forever. He then introduced Chelsea, who appeared on-stage, and hugged Flair and Anderson! Standing in utter shock, Wolfe's head dropped into his hands, and he turned around, only to get met with a kick to the midsection; Styles then executed the Styles Clash in the middle of the ring! Styles then pinned Wolfe for the 1-2-3, picking up the VERY cheap victory, and becoming the new Heavyweight Champion! After the match Flair, Anderson, and Chelsea made their way to the ring, where the referee opened up the cage door, and they joined Styles for an in-ring celebration as the fans booed as loud as they possibly could. AJ Styles pinned Desmond Wolfe with the Styles Clash in 0:05:05. Rating: * � (AJ Styles won the HWL Heavyweight Title.) Card Rating: ** 3/4*
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 22:03:05 Monday Night Anarchy July 26, 2010 Conseco Fieldhouse Indianapolis, Indiana -- Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Indianapolis, just 24 hours after "Justice", where AJ Styles walked away with the HWL Heavyweight Title, in one of the most unexpected betrayals by Chelsea towards Desmond Wolfe. It is announced that, tonight, the newly crowned Heavyweight Champion will be in action, as AJ Styles will take on "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan in a non-title match. Also tonight, the HWL will debut a new Tag Team, as they will face The British Invasion. And, also, the new number one contender of the Women's Title will be named as Sarita takes on Daffney. -- The lights in the arena go out as RIC FLAIR's entrance music plays, and the crowd instantly begins to boo as "The Nature Boy" walks on-stage, into the spotlight shining on the ramp. He walks down the ramp, ignoring the insults from the fans, and enters the ring - as the lights return on - and asks for a microphone from the ring announcer. Flair waits for the audience to die down before saying that last night, at Justice, was one of the best nights of his career. He says that the look on Desmond Wolfe's face was so priceless, Flair doesn't think he'll ever forget what it looked like. He continues to say that, tonight, he isn't out to gloat about the events that took place last night, but rather to introduce a collection of talent that he believes will have the HWL "by the balls". The first person Flair says the first person is the only one responsible for how last night went down; and he introduces MR. ANDERSON! Anderson walks out to a round of jeers from the Indy crowd, and joins Flair in the ring, shaking hands and waiting for the other introduction. Next, and finally, Flair says that everyone should get up and applaud the next person he's introducing... and AJ STYLES walks on-stage, carrying the Heavyweight Title over his shoulder, accompanied by CHELSEA. The crowd continues to boo as Styles enters the ring, shaking hands with Flair and Anderson. Flair then says that, with the three of them working together, they will control the HWL in no time. All three celebrate inside the ring as "Anarchy" goes to commercials. Commercial Break -- As "Anarchy" returns from commercials, DESMOND WOLFE is seen entering the arena, looking depressed and still in shock. Josh Daniels asks why Wolfe is in the arena, when he doesn't have a match scheduled; and Scott Michaels says that, if he were Wolfe, he'd be in a bar somewhere in Chicago, trying to forget what happened last night. Number One Contenders Match Sarita vs. Daffney Just 24 hours after coming up short against Natalya in her first title match in the HWL, Sarita stepped into the ring with Daffney for the chance to challenge for the title again. Daffney came into this match on a huge roll, after beating both members of The Beautiful People bot separately and in a handicap match just a week ago. But Sarita came out with something to prove, and took the fight to Daffney, showing that she wanted another shot at the Women's Champion. And, after hitting a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex, Sarita found herself as the Number One Contender once again. Sarita pinned Daffney after a belly-to-belly suplex in 0:06:24. Rating: ** � -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is shown with a very beat-up KURT ANGLE, who is shown with stitches on his forehead. Angle says that, last night, he and Matt Morgan put each other through hell. He says that he still lives by the Three I's, and that he will admit that Morgan got the better of him at Justice. But, he says that Morgan is in no better shape than Angle is, and tonight, Morgan has to go out and prove himself against the Heavyweight Champion. But, Angle says, when Morgan is finished facing AJ Styles, he can start thinking of a way to end things once and for all. -- Also, backstage, in the locker room, CODY RHODES is seen getting ready for his match, when he is confronted by TED DIBIASE JR. DiBiase demands to know what was going through Rhodes's mind when he went out and attacked Randy Orton last night, at Justice. Getting no answer, DiBiase says that they lost the Tag Team Titles because Cody's head wasn't in the match; it was off thinking about what he had done to Orton. DiBiase says that Rhodes has a lot of explaining to do, and walks out of the locker room, leaving Rhodes to finish getting ready. Commercial Break Alex Shelley vs. Cody Rhodes Cody Rhodes was given the chance to redeem himself, 24 hours after he and Ted DiBiase lost the HWL Tag Team Titles, and he stepped into the ring with a very familiar opponent. However, Rhodes probably didn't think that RANDY ORTON would want retribution so quickly, as "The Viper" made his way to the ring early on, and nearly got Shelley disqualified for tripping Rhodes. But, after the warning from the referee, Orton stayed quiet. But he made sure that the "Dashing" one knew he was there. Rhodes, however, was able to fight through the tense situation, and lock in a sleeperhold. Shelley fought his way out of the move, but was too far gone, and Rhodes pushed him out of the ring for the count-out victory. That was all that "The Viper" needed, as Orton slid into the ring and connected with and RKO in the center of the ring! The crowd went crazy as Orton stood over Rhodes, staring down at him. Cody Rhodes defeated Alex Shelley by count-out in 0:09:56. Rating: [Randy Orton interfered against Cody Rhodes.] -- Backstage, Ric Flair, Mr. Anderson, AJ Styles, and Chelsea are seen continuing their celebration from earlier tonight, when PETER BRADSHAW walks up onto the group. They all turn to face the owner of the company, and he reminds them that he could end their career if they lay a single hand on him. Bradshaw then singles out Flair, and says that he isn't sure what "The Nature Boy" has up his sleeve, but that he won't allow Flair - and the rest of them - to just run rampant week after week. Bradshaw says that they've had their "coming out" party, and except for Styles's match against Matt Morgan, he doesn't want to see them ringside for the rest of the evening. Flair cuts off Bradshaw and reminds the owner of just who he is; and says that he's going to do whatever he pleases, and that the rest of his "guys" are going to do whatever they want, too. Flair says that they're grown men - and woman - and that he's not going to tell them what they can and can't do. He says that Mr. Anderson doesn't have anything to do tonight, but the rest of them will be at ringside for the main event. Anderon, Styles, and Chelsea walk away from Bradshaw as Flair gets in his face, and says that Bradshaw doesn't have the balls to get rid of "The Nature Boy" and the reigning HWL Heavyweight Champion. Woooooo! -- In another area backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with The Hart Dynasty, who receive a mixed reaction from the crowd when they appear on the Jumbotron. Alisha asks what it feels like to be holding half of the championship gold in the HWL. David Hart Smith said that no one thought that he and Tyson Kidd would amount to anything; that their troubles outside of the wrestling world would hinder them from doing what they needed to do inside the ring. But, he says, that he nor Kidd really listened to what the public thought about them, because the people that mattered most are the ones who knew what they were capable of. Smith says that, last night at Justice, they finally showed that they were work their way to the top of the Tag Team division, and that justice was served to Legacy for stealing the title away from them a few weeks ago on Anarchy. Tyson chimes in and says that whether people like it or not, they're looking at a very dominating force in the HWL. He says that it means something to hold half the gold in a company, and that the next goal, for him at least, is to make his way into challenging for the X-Division Title. Kidd reminds the fans that he was in the first-ever X-Division title match, in the summer of 2009, and came up on the short end. But, he says that he's gotten over the demons that held him back, and is now ready to disprove all the people who don't think he can do anything without someone by his side. Natalya then says that she would say something to add to the moment, but she does all her talking in the ring. However, she does say that, until there is some new, more challenging competition in the Woman's Division, she is going to hold on to the title for as long as she wants it. The three walk away as the mixed reaction grows once again. Yoshi Tatsu vs. David Hart Smith Coming off winning the Tag Team Titles last night, and making his very stern statement to Alisha Hicks moments before, David Hart Smith was looking to add to his successful past 24 hours, but was met by a very determined Yoshi Tatsu. Tatsu used his speed to counter a lot of Smith's power moves, and picked up a series of near-falls. Smith was able to right himself and gain control, tossing Tatsu outside the ring, using the surroundings to his advantage. Back in the ring, the match appeared to be Hart's until Tatsu reversed a clothesline into a crucifix, stunning his bigger opponent. Tatsu was able to connect with a Northern Lights suplex to pick up the impressive victory. Yoshi Tatsu pinned David Hart Smith after a Northern Lights suplex in 0:09:42. Rating: *** � Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan, who is banged up from his match last night at Justice. Alisha asks how he feels, evening the score with Kurt Angle last night, and what that might mean for his future. Morgan says that he did, indeed, even things up with Angle at Justice; but that he feels like he got the upper hand, because he actually pinned Angle and beat him; not just using the ring steps to get a count-out. Morgan says that his future is only looking up from here, and that some time soon, he expects to get back into the ring with Angle one more time, so they can finally see who the better man is. He says, however, that until that match is made, he's going to focus on AJ Styles and tonight's main event. He reminds Alisha that he and Styles have met in the ring before, and it just so happened that Styles was able to beat Morgan for the HWL Heavyweight Championship back in September. He says that, just like at Justice, tonight, he's going to even the score. -- A preview for "Unbreakable" is shown. The event will take place, August 29th, live from the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The Usos (w/Tamina) vs. The British Invasion The Uso Brothers - recently signed from the FCW - made their debut here tonight, taking on Rob Terry and Brutus Magnus. The new duo looked very impressive, using their speed and high-risk moves, to take the fight to the Invasion. However, even with Tamina on the outside, they made their rookie mistake, which Rob Terry took full advantage of, hitting the Tormentum on Jimmy Uso to pick up the victory. The British Invasion (Rob Terry & Brutus Magnus) defeated The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) when Big Rob pinned Jimmy with the Tormentum in 0:14:06. Rating: * � -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with "The Viper" Randy Orton, and asks for an explanation behind his attack, earlier tonight, against Cody Rhodes. Orton says that Rhodes brought it upon himself, last night at Justice. He says that, it's clear to Orton, that Rhodes is jealous of what Orton has accomplished in the wrestling business. Orton says that he's been a multi-time Heavyweight Champion, and Cody Rhodes hasn't risen to that "rank" yet. He says Rhodes is trying to prove himself, now that he's lost the Tag Team Titles, but that he picked the wrong first target. Commercial Break -- Desmond Wolfe is seen walking around backstage as "Anarchy" returns from commercials, and is stopped by Alisha Hicks, who asks what he must be feeling after the events that took place last night at "Justice". Wolfe says that he isn't in the mood to talk about what happened last night; not yet, at least. He continues to walk past Alisha as she stands, watching in shock. Scott Michaels thinks that losing the Heavyweight Title and having Chelsea betray him has had a bigger toll on Wolfe than anyone would've thought. Evan Bourne vs. Randy Orton Randy Orton had already made his presence known tonight, attacking Cody Rhodes with an RKO; and he looked to continue his roll against Evan Bourne. Orton wasted no time at all, hitting an RKO just seconds into the match, but Bourne was able to kick out just before the three-count. Orton stayed on the offensive throughout the match, and it didn't take long for frustration to set in on the young high-flyer. Seeing an opportunity, Bourne pushed down the referee, who rolled outside of the ring. Bourne then went on a tear, trying to even the score against Orton, but "The Viper" caught Bourne with a second RKO! There was no referee to count, so Orton stopped the pinfall. And, as the referee slowly made his way back into the ring, Orton connected with a flying cross body press to pick up the victory. Randy Orton pinned Evan Bourne after a flying cross body press in 0:04:15. Rating: ** 1/4 -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is with Ric Flair and the HWL Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles, who comment on Desmond Wolfe's appearance earlier tonight. Styles says that Wolfe is upset because he lost the title to a better wrestler, and that it'll be a long time before Wolfe gets another title shot at "The Phenomenal One". Flair then says, that Wolfe should go find a local bar after the show, and hit the bottle, because not only does AJ have the Heavyweight Title, but he's also got Chelsea by his side now. Flair says that Styles - and soon Mr. Anderson - will run the show in the HWL, and Desmond Wolfe will have no chance at slowing them down. Woooo! -- Highlights are shown from last night's "Justice" pay-per-view, highlighting the crowning of new Tag Team Champions and the crowning of AJ Styles as the new Heavyweight Champion. Commercial Break Non Title Match Matt Morgan vs. � AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair & Chelsea) AJ Styles came into this match 24 hours after "stealing" the Heavyweight Title away from Desmond Wolfe, and appeared to be very "high" on himself and his new-found partnership with Mr. Anderson. Matt Morgan was coming off a very hard-fought and bloody battle with Kurt Angle at "Justice", and was looking to keep his momentum going against the new Champion. These two know each other well, having fought for the Heavyweight title almost a year ago, and they both appeared to remember their rivalry. "The Blueprint" came out swinging, stunning the Champion off the bat, hitting the Carbon Footprint and pinning Styles, but Chelsea distracted the referee before he could give the three-count. This opened up an opportunity for Flair to slide AJ the Heavyweight title, who used it to hit Morgan in the back of the head, startling the big man. But, with Chelsea still on the apron, Styles had no time to capitalize on the attack as Morgan got his bearings and become enraged. Sensing the title shot's failure, AJ fled the ring, and he, Flair and Chelsea made their way up the ramp as the referee counted AJ out, awarding the match to Morgan. Matt Morgan defeated AJ Styles by count-out in 0:14:36. Rating: � [Chelsea interfered against Matt Morgan.] Card Rating: � Attendance: 9,961
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 22:04:24 Monday Night Anarchy August 2, 2010 U.S. Bank Arena Cincinnati, Ohio (Attendance: 11, 951) (Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Cincinnati, and announce that tonight, former Heavyweight Champion Desmond Wolfe, will take on the X-Division Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter, in a non-title match in the main event. Also announced is a rematch from Justice for the Women's Title, as Sarita will once against challenge Natalya.) (The lights in the arena go out as AJ Styles' music blares through the arena. A spotlight shines onto the center of the stage as the HWL Heavyweight Champion walks out - carrying the title over his shoulder - as the crowd roars with boos. Styles is followed down the ramp by Ric Flair, Mr. Anderson, and Chelsea. Inside the ring, Flair grabs a microphone and waits for the jeers to die down, before saying that the crowd could boo AJ all he wants because of that actions he took last week, but that they will never understand his reasoning because their idiots. Flair says that he's helping AJ to think like him; to see himself like Flair saw himself during his 17 different title reigns. Flair says that he isn't going to allow AJ to step into the ring with people who don't deserve to wrestle the Heavyweight Champion, and that's exactly why they left last week. Flair says that Matt Morgan may have been Heavyweight Champion some time last year, but even back then, he should've known that AJ was a better wrestler, because he beat Morgan for the belt. Flair says that Matt Morgan hasn't done enough to prove himself worthy of stepping into the ring with Styles; and that he needs to focus more on Kurt Angle before he can ever hope of facing the Heavyweight Champion again. The crowd boos loudly once again. Flair then says that the real reason they're all out here tonight, is to say how happy they were to see the way Desmond Wolfe was acting last week on Anarchy. He says that neither Wolfe nor anyone else in the arena could imagine the amount of joy all four of them got by watching Wolfe mope around the backstage area, having lost the Heavyweight Title and the love of his life. Flair says that it was only a matter of time before Chelsea figured out that Wolfe wasn't a "real man". More booing from the crowd. Flair's rant was cut off as Desmond Wolfe's music blares through the arena, instantly changing the crowd's mood. Wolfe walks down the ramp and enters the ring, as all four members of Flair's group backs into the corners. Wolfe paces around the ring for a moment, looking nothing like he did a week ago, before walking over the Flair and grabbing the microphone out of his hand. Wolfe stares into Flair's eyes for a moment before turning away and walking around the ring. He wastes no time, saying that Flair, Anderson, and "that whore" Chelsea - along with everyone in the arena - know that AJ Styles shouldn't be Heavyweight Champion tonight. He says that all four of them knew AJ wouldn't stand a chance inside that steel cage at Justice, so they had to spend some amount of money to lure Chelsea to their side, all in the hopes of distracting Wolfe; and it worked. Wolfe says that, without Flair or Anderson, Styles would still be in the back complaining about a second-straight loss. He says that Matt Morgan may not be what they deem "worthy" of stepping into the ring with AJ, but says if there's one man who is, it's the one who had the title stolen from him. Wolfe then says that, if AJ's man enough to accept the challenge, he's invoking his "rematch clause" at Unbreakable. Wolfe says that he wants their match to "fit the bill" of the pay-per-view, and challenges AJ to a Ladder Match for the HWL Heavyweight Title. The crowd goes crazy as Flair, Anderson, and Styles all look at each other in shock. Wolfe stares at Chelsea and shakes his head, and says that he has nothing to say to her, except that now he sees that she's nothing more than a money-hungry tramp. He warns her that Flair, Styles, and Anderson are simply using her as leverage to get inside his head, and that at Unbreakable when he walks away with the Heavyweight Title again, they're just throw her to the curb because she'll be of no use to them. And, he says that, when that happens, Wolfe wouldn't be there for her... ever again. Wolfe then leaves the ring as Anarchy goes to commercials.) Commercial Break (Backstage, KURT ANGLE is seen entering the arena.) Women's Title Match Sarita vs. � Natalya Sarita has been making quite the name for herself since joining the HWL last month, with her only loss coming at the hands of the Women's Champion, at Justice. However, last week, she earned the chance to face Natalya again, after defeating Daffney in a Number One Contender's Match. The champion, who has been on a tear since winning the title, was looking to continue her winning ways, but was not prepared for a different opponent than the one she faced at Justice. Sarita countered just about everything Natalya threw at her, and was wearing the champion down, until Natalya brought the fight outside the ring. There, she used everything she could to get the better of the challenger, but did not risk a count-out, bringing the fight back inside. Natalya went back on the offensive, but Sarita continued to counter the Champion, ultimately locking in a flying armbar, and getting Natalya to tap out, winning the Women's Title. Sarita made Natalya submit to a flying armbar in 0:14:33. Rating: *** 1/4 (Sarita won the HWL Women's Title.) (Backstage, David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd are seen walking out of their dressing room, and are approached by Rob Terry and Brutus Magnus. Magnus says that the Hart Dynasty's dream of being a force in the HWL is crumbling right before their eyes. He says that David lost last week - and better hope his luck changes tonight - and that Natalya just lost the Women's Title. He tells Smith and Kidd to do whatever they can to make sure they don't follow the same fate, at Unbreakable, because Magnus and Terry are looking to leave them with nothing.) Commercial Break Alex Shelley vs. David Hart Smith David Hart Smith had a lot of pressure on his shoulders tonight, as he tried to reclaim himself from his loss last week, and trying not to be the second member of the Hart Dynasty to lose tonight. It appeared that his night was going to get a little more difficult as CODY RHODES and TED DIBIASE made their way down to ringside. The mood at ringside was very tense, until DiBiase pulled down the top rope as Smith whipped Shelley into them. Rhodes and DiBiase began to attack Shelley outside the ring as Smith watched from inside. When they finished with their assault, Legacy threw Shelley back into the ring, and straight into a Saito suplex by Smith. Smith pinned Shelley for the 1-2-3. After the match, Rhodes and DiBiase enter the ring and continue their assault on Alex Shelley, as the referee tried to stop them. Suddenly, RANDY ORTON ran down the ramp, and cleared out the ring as Rhodes and DiBiase avoided "The Viper". Orton stands over Shelley as he and Legacy share words from across the arena. David Hart Smith pinned Alex Shelley with the Saito Suplex in 0:10:27. Rating: � [Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase interfered against Alex Shelley.] (Backstage, Kaz is seen leaving the dressing room, when he is approached by Yoshi Tatsu. Tatsu says that he knows that their team hasn't had the best of luck in the past, but after beating David Hart Smith last week, he thinks their fortune is going to turn around. Unimpressed, and feigning interest, Kaz says he hopes that Yoshi is right. He says that it's one thing to "think" they can turn it around; it's another thing to go out and actually do it.) (At ringside, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase make their way to the ring, as the crowd restarts their booing for just moments ago. They enter the ring, as Cody Rhodes grabs a microphone, and tries to compose himself before speaking to the crowd. Rhodes says that he first wants to apologize to Ted DiBiase, for making his partner think that his head wasn't in the "game" as far as eventually having the Tag Team Titles back in their possession; and he says that what the crowd just witnessed was Legacy making a statement, that they will go through every single person or team until they get another shot at the Tag Team Titles. He says that tonight, that quest begins as they make examples out of Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz. But, he says that before the match starts, Rhodes wanted to get something off his chest concerning Justice. Rhodes says that he heard Randy Orton say that he was jealous of Orton's success in the wrestling business, and Rhodes admits that, while he was younger he would feel a hatred towards Orton for doing things that Rhodes knew he should be doing instead. Rhodes goes onto to say that his hatred didn't just start when they started out in the business, but that it goes back to when their parents were wrestling as well. Rhodes says that he grew up despising "Cowboy" Bob Orton because his father "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes couldn't stand the sight of Randy's father. So, Rhodes says that, at Unbreakable, he wants to do something that will make his father happy: take out an Orton once and for all.) Legacy vs. Yoshi Tatsu/Kaz Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase were very confident with themselves just minutes before the bell rang, but no one in the arena thought they were ready for the newly dedicated Yoshi Tatsu. Tatsu had said earlier that he was going to do his part in helping their team get to the Tag Team Titles, but Kaz seemed to take the match in his own hands. However, Kaz got a little bit of help as RANDY ORTON appeared on-stage, distracting DiBiase as Kaz hit a moonsault side suplex to pick up the victory. Yoshi Tatsu & Kaz defeated Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase) when Kaz pinned Rhodes after a moonsault side slam in 0:04:19. Rating: 3/4 Commercial Break (Kurt Angle's music blares through the arena as Anarchy comes back from commercials, and he is welcomed by a warm reception from the Cincinnati crowd. He makes his way down the ramp, still showing signs of injury from two weeks ago, and enters the ring where he is handed a microphone. Angle waits for the cheers to die down before saying that he is out here for only one reason tonight, and that he doesn't want to waste a lot of time getting to the point. He says that, last week, Matt Morgan seemed very confident with his victory at Justice. Angle says Morgan should be happy with the win, because he was the better man and deserved to win... on that night. Angle says that Matt tied things up between them at Justice, but it didn't settle anything; it just made the need to find out who is better that much greater, and Angle thinks he has the perfect match to test both of them. Angles says the reason he is in the ring tonight is to issue a challenge to Matt Morgan - for one more match - at Unbreakable. The only catch, Angle says, is that he wants Morgan to accept adding the stipulation of making the match a Submissions Only match. Angle says, that if Morgan thinks he can beat Angle again, he'll have to work for it. Angle then leaves the ring as the crowd murmurs amongst themselves.) (Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with The Usos and Tamina, and welcomes them to the Horizon Wrestling League. Jimmy Uso says that it was only a matter of time before they hit the ranks of the "big leagues" in the wrestling business. He says that it is ingrained in all three of their bloods, having grown up watching their various relatives reach all sorts of success throughout the years. Jey Uso says that last week was a rough way to start their careers in the HWL, losing to The British Invasion. But, he says, that it won't take long before they make their marks, just like the did in their previous endeavors.) Evan Bourne vs. Mr. Anderson Mr. Anderson was coming into this match, feeling pretty good about his role in screwing Desmond Wolfe out of the Heavyweight Title at Justice, but Evan Bourne was looking to make up for his loss against Randy Orton last week. Without Ric Flair, AJ Styles, or Chelsea at ringside, Anderson had to rely on his own abilities and skills to take on the high-flying Bourne. Boure was impressive in the outing, using the Shooting Star Press to pick up the victory. Evan Bourne pinned Mr. Anderson with the Shooting Star Press in 0:13:13. Rating: *** (Backstage, Alisha Hicks catches up with Randy Orton, and asks for a response to Cody Rhodes' statements earlier tonight. Orton says that he wasn't surprised to hear what Rhodes had to say, about his family being jealous of the Orton family legacy. And, because of that, he says that there's only one kind of match that he and Cody should be in at Unbreakable: an old-school Strap match. Orton says, that if Cody wants to make his "daddy" proud, he knows what he has to do. Orton then walks away as the crowd inside the arena cheer.) Commercial Break (Backstage, Ric Flair and AJ Styles are joined by Alisha Hicks, who asks for a comment about tonight's earlier showdown with Desmond Wolfe. Styles says that, if Wolfe was trying to threaten him with the stipulation of a Ladder Match, it fell on deaf ears. He says that Wolfe is just searching for a way to put the odds on his favor, in the hopes of winning back the Heavyweight Title at Unbreakable, but Styles says that the odds are already stacked against Wolfe, and putting the title on the line in that type of match just puts him more at risk. So, Style says that, if Wolfe is sure he wants a Ladder Match at Unbreakable, then he will accept the challenge, and prove to everyone in the HWL that he can beat Wolfe no matter what the match is.) Jay Lethal vs. Kane The Cincinnati crowd was absolutely stunned by Jay Lethal's performance tonight, as he shocked them - and "The Big Red Monster" - by stopping at nothing to ensure he reached victory tonight. Lethal was able to bring Kane to the outside, and tripped the big man; his head and upper body falling hard onto the ring steps! And, to make sure Kane was down, Lethal hit the Flying Elbowdrop onto the concrete floor! Lethal, showing signs of an slightly injured leg/hip, rolled back into the ring as the referee finished the 10-count. Jay Letahl defeated Kane by count-out in 0:05:00. Rating: * � (Backstage, Matt Morgan finds Alisha Hicks talking with a few HWL staff members, and demands the microphone. Morgan says that Kurt Angle doesn't have to wait long to get his answer concerning the challenge issued for Unbreakable. Morgan says that he couldn't be more confident about what he's able to do inside the ring, and that making Angle tap would be the highlight of his career.

However, the match had just barely started when D'ANGELO DINERO made his way to the ring, and attacked Porter outside the ring. The referee had no choice, but to call for the bell, and award the match to the champion. Wolfe stood in the center of the ring, watching in shock, as Dinero made his way up the ramp.

However, the crowd was looking forward to seeing "The Scream Queen" Daffney, but NIKKI BELLA came out in her place. Bella appeared out of sorts, and didn't seem to be called on to fill in for Daffney, as she was taken aback by Kim's onslaught once the bell rang. Bella tried to gain the upper hand, by attempting a high cross body block from the top rope, but Kim moved out of the way, and Bella landed on the referee! Kim then took the fight outside the ring, wearing down her unsuspecting opponent, before tossing Bella back into the ring and hitting the Eat Defeat for the victory. Gail Kim pinned Nikki Bella with the Eat Defeat in 0:18:14. Rating: * (Backstage, Alisha Hicks is with NATALYA, who says that she is still upset about losing the Women's Title last week... because she says she had already beaten Sarita at Justice, and wasn't happy that she was given a rematch just two weeks later. But, Natalya says that there's nothing she can do about it, except to go out to the ring and take her aggression out on Gail Kim next week. She says that she is determined to get into the title match at Unbreakable, and to take back what is rightfully her's.) (In the dressing room, TYSON KIDD is seen getting ready for his match later tonight, alongside DAVID HART SMITH, who is holding both of the HWL Tag Team Titles. Kidd stands up from stretching as BRUTUS MAGNUS and ROB TERRY enter the dressing room, laughing. Magnus says that Kidd and Smith should hope that they don't face the same fate as their cousin did last week, and lose the Tag Team belts at Unbreakable. He says that The Hart Dynasty's goal of running the HWL will just continue to fall, piece by piece, until they are left titleless and scraping the bottom of the barrel in the wrestling business. Kidd and Smith, having heard enough from their challengers, attack, and the four men begin to brawl in the dressing room. Quickly, HWL officials rush into the locker room and break up the brawl as the four men are separated...) Matt Morgan vs. CM Punk "The Blueprint" came out tonight, looking to keep his winning ways going, after getting a count-out victory over AJ Styles two weeks ago, but he had a tough opponent in CM Punk. The one thing that Punk had going for him, is that he wasn't going to back down from the fight, unlike the current Heavyweight Champion. Punk and Morgan brawled back and forth, and nearly got themselves disqualified after catching each other in choke holds. However, Morgan was able to connect with the Carbon Footprint and put away the "Straight-edge Superstar". After the match, Morgan attacked Punk's prone body, picking him up and setting Punk up in a Torture Rack. Punk screamed out in pain as the referee tried to get Morgan to realize the hold. Moments later, Morgan dropped Punk onto the canvas and left the ring and walking back up the ramp. Matt Morgan pinned CM Punk after the Carbon Footprint in 0:16:26. Rating: * � Commercial Break (As Anarchy returns, a large ladder is seen in the center of the ring, and Desmond Wolfe's music blares through the arena. Wolfe makes his way to the ring, and grabs a microphone before ascending the ladder - much to the awe of the crowd. Upon reaching the top, Wolfe sits on the top rung of the ladder, and addresses the crowd. He says that he has been in this business for a long time, and that he has seen his fair share of things take place; things that made him scratch his head and things that will probably live on in his mind for the rest of his life. But, he says that one thing he will never forget is how jealous AJ Styles was of him, and how desperate Styles was to take the HWL Heavyweight Title away from Wolfe. He says that he didn't think anyone could go as low as Styles did - to pay off Chelsea - as a way to get the title. But, Wolfe says, he's out tonight, to prove that it doesn't matter what Styles and Flair have in mind for Unbreakable, because nothing is going to stand in his way of regaining the Heavyweight Title. The crowd begins to murmur as MR. ANDERSON jumps over the barricade and slides into the ring. Anderson gets to his feet and grabs a side of the ladder, slightly moving it back and forth, as the crowd groans out in horror. Anderson lets the ladder wobble before grabbing it and stopping it on the canvas. HWL officials rush down to the ring and stop Anderson before he can do anything else. Anderson is escorted out of the ring, laughing at Wolfe, who is catching his composure atop the ladder.) (Backstage, Kaz is seen walking out of the dressing room, when he is joined by YOSHI TATSU. Tatsu says that their win last week was great and just what they needed. Kaz agrees, that their win was a step in the right direction, but tells Yoshi that he won't carry the team on his shoulders. Kaz says that he wants to see the fire and intensity that it takes to win a title, in Yoshi, and that tonight against Tyso Kidd would be a great time to show it. Kaz challenges Yoshi to prove that he has the fire to win the Tag Team Titles before walking away.) Tyson Kidd vs. Yoshi Tatsu Yoshi Tatsu was given an ultimatum by his tag team partner, Kaz, just minutes before stepping into the ring with one-half of the HWL Tag Team Champions. Yoshi was challenged to prove that he had what it took to be dominant inside the ring, and he appeared to have a bit of trouble with that as the match got underway. Tyson Kidd proved to be the more dominant of the two, taking an early advantage until getting a near-fall that he debated was a three-count with the referee. With Kidd's back turned, Tatsu locked on the Octopus Hold for 20 seconds before Kidd was able to reach the bottom rope - with a little help from Natalya. Kidd wasn't able to recover from the move, and relied on the former Women's Champion, who tripped Tatsu as he won into the ropes. The referee called for the bell, but Kidd ignored it, attacking Tatsu as Natalya looked on, cheering. KAZ ran down to the ring, to defend his partner, and Kidd slid out of the ring. He and Natalya smiled at their handy work as they made their way to the back; the crowd booing them. Yoshi Tatsu defeated Tyson Kidd by disqualification in 0:07:56.

Commercial Break (Coming from the break, ALEX SHELLEY and RANDY ORTON make their way to the ring; Orton is seen carrying a black leather strap, wrapped around his hand. As they enter the ring, Orton asks for a microphone, as Shelley looks on from the corner. Orton says that he was a little surprised last week, to see that Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase would stoop to such lows as to interfere in a match that meant nothing to either of them, just to prove a point. Orton says that the only point that they proved was that Cody Rhodes needs DiBiase to have his back, or he is likely to lose every time he steps into the ring. Orton says that Alex Shelley was just an innocent bystander in the brewing feud between Rhodes and himself, but says that he wouldn't pass up the chance to get into the ring with Rhodes before their match at Unbreakable. He then holds up the strap, snapping it into the microphone, and saying that if things get out of hand tonight, he wouldn't hesitate to give Rhodes a taste of what he can expect on August 29th...) Alex Shelley/Randy Orton vs. Legacy There was a little bit of question as to how Alex Shelley and Randy Orton would coexist as a team, having never teamed before tonight, but the answer seemed to be "pretty well". Shelley was looking to gain back some confidence after the attack by Legacy last week, and Randy Orton was looking to send a message to Cody Rhodes. Shelley and Orton showed good team skills, tagging in and out at opportune times, and keeping the former Tag Team Champions away from each other for most the match. However, while battling with "The Viper" outside the ring, Ted DiBiase threw Orton into the ring post, opening up a small gash on Orton's forehead. Cody Rhodes looked on in sheer delight as DiBiase rolled Orton into the ring and pinned him... only for Orton to kick out at 2 �! Furious, DiBiase began arguing with the official, unaware that Orton was slowly getting to his feet. With blood streaming down his face, Orton connected with the RKO as DiBiase turned around, pinning him for the 1-2-3! After the match, Orton and Shelley made their way up the ramp as Cody Rhodes watched on in disbelief. Alex Shelley & Randy Orton defeated Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase) when R. Orton pinned T. DiBiase with the RKO in 0:10:56. Rating: ** � (In the back, RIC FLAIR and MR. ANDERSON are seen talking about the events that took place earlier in the evening with Desmond Wolfe.

Bradshaw says that he doesn't understand why Flair thinks he can get away with what he's doing lately, and says that if anything happens to compromise the Heavyweight Title match at Unbreakable, whoever is responsible will be fired on the spot! Bradshaw then leaves the scene as Flair and Anderson continue their celebration.) (Also backstage, D'ANGELO DINERO is seen heading towards the stage area - getting a good pop from the crowd - when he is confronted by RHINO. Rhino says that it's his turn to wish Dinero "good luck" tonight, and that if he has any hope of getting back the X-Division Title, Dinero has to go through "The Man Beast" first.) Commercial Break Jay Lethal vs. D'Angelo Dinero It would seem that "The Pope's" confrontation with Rhino, backstage, hindered his abilities in the ring tonight, as his return to the ring - after suffering an injury two weeks ago - was very short-lived. Lethal, coming off a huge win last week, continued his winning ways using a Flatliner to pick up the victory in less than ONE minute! Jay Lethal pinned D'Angelo Dinero after a Flatline in 0:00:56.

Both men stop, and stare at each other, as staff members prepare for what could come next.

Non Title Match Evan Bourne vs. � AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair & Chelsea) In what would appear to be common theme in the final two matches of the evening, the crowd was left wanting more as these two high-fliers squared off against each other. Right from the start, Styles connected with a DDT that signaled the end... and didn't waste any time hitting a 450 splash to pick up the quick non-title victory.

Styles gets on the microphone and says that, for years, he was the main focal point of TNA Wrestling, and that he was able to achieve that success alone... without people watching his back. He says that all changed after a few years when the fans started turning their backs on him, saying that he didn't have what it took to be the face of the franchise. People started taking advantage of him, knowing that there would be no one to save him; Ric Flair changed that. Styles says that Flair came in and saw the potential that Styles had... and knew that with a little tuning, he could be the next great champion in professional wrestling. He says that, with Flair's guidance, Styles will be remembered for years to come. Flair then got on the microphone and said that he wasn't surprised by the fact that Peter Bradshaw is trying to throw his weight around backstage, because he's a new player in the game of professional wrestling. But, Flair says, he was surprised that Bradshaw is obsessing with making sure nothing happen to Desmond Wolfe before the Heavyweight Title match at Unbreakable. Flair says that for years men and women have been breaking into this business, only to pay their dues and get their asses kicked, and hoping to one day break through and win the "Big One". Flair says that Desmond Wolfe attained that success on the indy level, and was fortunate enough to have serious winning streak when he first came into the HWL; even winning the Heavyweight Title. But, Flair says, it's time Wolfe realizes that there are bigger names in this company, and sooner or later he will see that he just don't have what it takes to "hang". Flair says that Bradshaw is "babying" Wolfe, because Bradshaw doesn't like AJ Styles as the top man in the HWL, but that it's something the owner is just going to get over. With his guidance, Flair says, that AJ Styles is going to stay on the top for as long as he wants to. Wooo!) (Backstage, Alisha Hicks is with KANE, who said that he had never been so humiliated during his career as he was two weeks ago. "The Big Red Monster" said that sooner or later Jay Lethal would feel his wrath, but tonight, he would take all that pent up frustration on Matt Morgan; and that he intended on making his trip to Unbreakable as painful as possible.) Number One Contenders Match Natalya vs. Gail Kim Over the past couple weeks, Natalya had claimed that she would do whatever it took to get back in the ring with Sarita, for a chance to win back the Women's Title. Last week, having to wait and find out who she would be facing for that chance, seemed to have fueled the final inside the former champion as she came out swinging against Gail Kim. But, showing a resilience that a lot of fans hadn't seen in the past, Gail Kim took what Natalya threw at her and kept coming back for more, eventually wearing her down enough to hit the Eat Defeat for the victory. After the match, Gail celebrated inside the ring as the crowd watched on in shock. Gail Kim pinned Natalya with the Eat Defeat in 0:10:16. Rating: **** 1/4 (Backstage, D'ANGELO DINERO was seen walking through the hallway, when he bumped into Peter Bradshaw. Bradshaw said that he was looking Dinero, because he had something to tell him about the Number One Contenders match tonight tonight. Bradshaw said that, for some unknown reason, Rhino had not shown up at the arena tonight. And, because of that, Bradshaw had made the decision to replace him with Cody Rhodes. Bradshaw patted Dinero on the arm and walked away as "The Pope" appeared confused.) Commercial Break (Coming back from the break, DESMOND WOLFE is seen entering the arena, and is met by Alisha Hicks, who shares with him what AJ Styles and Ric Flair had to say to start off the show. Wolfe said that they were both full of st, and that their perception of things is completely wrong. He said that Peter Bradshaw is in no way "babying" him, and that the only person being babied is Styles. Wolfe said that it's true, Bradshaw doesn't like Styles as Heavyweight Champion, but who would after the way he won it? He said that if AJ Styles wanted to prove that he wasn't being babied, and that he was able to win the belt by himself, then once again, he should tell Flair, Chelsea and Mr. Anderson to stay backstage at Unbreakable...) Alex Shelley vs. Skip Sheffield Neither Alex Shelley nor the crowd in St. Louis knew who would be Shelley's opponent tonight, and everyone was taken aback when the bigger Skip Sheffield appeared on-stage. Shelley was stunned at first, but quickly took the fight to Sheffield after the bell rang. Sheffield used his size and power to fight back, but appeared to injure his leg, allowing Shelley to connect with a springboard back elbow to pick up the victory. After the match, Shelley left the ring as Sheffield rolled around on the canvas, grabbing his leg in pain. The referee called for the medical staff, who slowly take Sheffield out of the ring, and escort him to the backstage area. Alex Shelley pinned Skip Sheffield after a springboard back elbow in 0:09:08. Skip Sheffield tore his right PCL.

He said that he's got a lot on his mind tonight: his submission match against Kurt Angle at Unbreakable and the match he's about to have with "The Big Red Monster" Kane. Morgan said that he knows Kane is pissed off about losing to Jay Lethal, but that he isn't scared of what Kane is capable in the ring. Morgan said that Kane can come down to the ring as angry as he wanted, but Morgan was the one that had something to prove. He said that he intended to continue sending a message to Kurt Angle, and if Kane got more upset in the process, that he couldn't blame anyone but himself...) Commercial Break Matt Morgan vs. Kane These two behemoths of the HWL stepped into the ring tonight, both with something to prove, but "The Big Red Monster" was the one who walked away having done what he said he would. Morgan was intent on sending a message to Kurt Angle, heading into their Submission Match at Unbreakable, and seemed to try too hard to get Kane to submit; the plan back-fired as Morgan took himself out of the "power game" and was slightly over-matched by Kane. Kane hit the Chokeslam From Hell to pick up the victory. After the match, Kane got onto the microphone, and told Jay Lethal if had what it took to step into the ring with Kane one more time at Unbreakable, to see if Lethal could pull another upset "out of his ass". Kane pinned Matt Morgan with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:11:45. Rating: 1/4 (Backstage, in the locker room, KAZ and YOSHI TATSU are seen getting ready for their match. Kaz said that he was proud of Tatsu for going out to the ring and showing the fire that he knew Kaz had in him, last week against Tyson Kidd. Kaz said that it was disappointing to see Tatsu win by DQ, but said he knew that Natayla was trying to save Kidd for Unbreakable. He told Tatsu, that tonight, he has another opportunity to take the fight to Kidd - and David Hart Smith - and that they have a chance to prove something to everyone in the HWL. Kaz said that a win against the Tag Team Champions would be very hard to come by, but that it would be a huge highlight for both of them. He slapped Tatus on the shoulder before leaving the locker room...) (Also backstage, ROB TERRY and BRUTUS MAGNUS are seen standing around a television. They say that the greatest thing they could ask for tonight, would be to see Yoshi and Kaz beat The Hart Dynasty. Magnus said that the Dynasty is already on its way down, and that all the time the spent making themselves sound like the best thing in wrestling was nothing but wasted breath. He said that watching them lose tonight would be almost as good as winning the Tag Team Titles at Unbreakable...) Non Title Match Yoshi Tatsu/Kaz vs. � The Hart Dynasty Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz have been on a pretty significant winning streak as of late, and they had a big challenge ahead of them tonight in the form of the Tag Team Champions. Stepping into the ring with the current champs didn't hinder Tatsu or Kaz from doing what has made them successful, using their speed and quick tags to their advantage; but, The Hart Dynasty showed why, in fact, they are the Tag Team Champions, taking everything their opponents could throw at them and not giving up. At the end of the match, all four men were in the ring - Tatsu and Smith the two legal men - and Kaz connected with a superkick on Smith, allowing Tatsu to lock on an inside cradle for the victory. After the match, Yoshi celebrated in the ring as Kaz looked on unimpressed. Kaz left the ring to leave Yoshi staring at his partner in disbelief.

DiBiase blamed Rhodes for not having his back, when he should've let DiBiase know that Orton was getting back to his feet. Rhodes shot back, saying that if DiBiase hadn't been aruging with the referee, he would've stayed on Orton, and the match would've have ended the way it did. Rhodes then said that he was finished talking about it, because he had a match to win. He walked out of the locker room, leaving DiBiase fuming...) (DESMOND WOLFE was seen walking through the backstage area, and as he turned a corner, was met by AJ STYLES. Styles said that he was surprised to hear what Wolfe had to say about him and Flair tonight, basically challenging his manhood. Wolfe said that someone had to challenge it, because he was the only one that saw it as fake. Wolfe stared into Styles's eyes and said that they both knew, that without Ric Flair by his side, Styles would be nothing in the HWL. Wolfe said there was only one way to prove that he was "man" enough to hold the Heavyweight Title, and before he could finish, Styles accepted the stipulation of leaving managers backstage... for the second straight match. The two of them stared at each other, saying nothing for a moment, before Wolfe smiled and walked away...) D'Angelo Dinero vs. Cody Rhodes The crowd in St. Louis - and the at-home audience - had been waiting a week to see what would happen between D'Angelo Dinero and Rhino, as they battled for the chance to face Montel Vontavious Porter at Unbreakable. However, that match did not take place, as detailed earlier in the evening, and Dinero had to settle with facing Cody Rhodes tonight. Rhodes appeared to be a little flustered, having not expected a match tonight - especially one that had title implications - and it showed, as he was just not able to battle with Dinero. A ref bump, late in the match, made things interesting, but Dinero still hit the DDE, and picked up the victory as the referee made the slow three count. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Cody Rhodes after the DDE in 0:09:03. Rating: ** � (The crowd went crazy as RANDY ORTON was seen, walking backstage, and was joined by ALEX SHELLEY.

Shelley then wished Orton luck in the main event, saying that he might not need it, with the hometown crowd behind him. Shelley then walked away, as Orton continued to the stage area...)

Randy Orton vs. Desmond Wolfe The hometown crowd was squarely behind "The Viper" tonight as he stepped into the ring against Desmond Wolfe, who was coming off a disappointing loss two weeks ago to MVP. Wolfe appeared to still be dealing with some mental issues stemming from the events that took place at Justice, and Orton was clearly in control. Somehow, though, Wolfe was able to push off an RKO attempt, and connected with a vicious Jawbreaker Lariat to pick up the victory.

Alex Shelley vs. Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) A week after stepping into the ring with a much larger opponent, Alex Shelley took on one-half of the Tag Team Champions in Tyson Kidd. These two men put on quite a show for the crowd, swapping aerial maneuvers and countless near-falls. Tyson Kidd was determined to not give Shelley the same fortune he had last week, when Skip Sheffield went down with an injury, and did his best to not face the same fate, kicking out of two separate Air Raid Crash attempts! However, the choice was made my Natalya, who put Kidd's foot on the bottom rope - if full view of the referee - forcing the match to be called in Shelley's favor.

Yoshi shakes his head in disbelief as Kaz says that he still sees a lot of potential in his tag team partner, and says that he should really take notes about how to get the advantage over your opponent tonight, when Kaz faces off against AJ Styles. Kaz pats Yoshi on the shoulder before leaving the dressing room, and Yoshi just stares off-camera, shaking his head...) CM Punk vs. Randy Orton Orton started off the match with the advantage, again trying to show a preview of what Cody Rhodes could look forward to this Sunday, at Unbreakable. After wearing down Punk, Orton hit the RKO and went for the cover, but Punk was able to put his foot on the ropes to break up the count. Punk eventually took over, hitting numerous kicks to Orton's lower body, trying to take that part of his game out of play. But, as Punk ran into the ropes for a clothesline, Orton bounced up and connected with a second RKO - out of nowhere! - and covered Punk for the 1-2-3. Randy Orton pinned CM Punk with the RKO in 0:09:53. Rating: *** Commercial Break (The final preview for Unbreakable is shown, highlighting the matches that have been announced. The event will take place THIS SUNDAY at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska!) (Backstage, KANE is seen walking out of the arena, when YOSHI TATSU comes from behind and smacks him in the back with a steel chair. Unfazed by the shot, Kane stops and turns around, grabbing the chair out of Tatsu's hands and throwing it to the ground. Showing an unseen aggression, Yoshi goes on the attack, hitting punches and kicks to "The Big Red Monster", but Kane fight back, pushing Yoshi into the brick wall surrounding the parking area. Kane grabs Yoshi and Irish whips him back into the brick wall, before grabbing him by the throat and whispering into his ear that he just made the biggest mistake of his life. Kane laughs and asks how stupid Kaz is going to think Yoshi is for this... before landing a hard shot into Yoshi's midsection, dropping him to the ground. Kane walks away, laughing, as the camera shows Yoshi laying on the pavement...) Non-Title Match Kaz vs. � AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair & Chelsea) Just six days away from having to put the Heavyweight Title on the line against a very pissed off former champion, AJ Styles had Ric Flair and Chelsea down at ringside for the final time before Unbreakable this Sunday night. Neither of them seemed to be an issue for Kaz, who came into this match with the intention on showing his partner - Yoshi Tatsu - the right way about proving one's self-confidence. Both men fought hard, and the match was very physical, with each man connecting with multiple finishing maneuvers... only for their opponents to kick out before the count of three. From the outside, however, Ric Flair had seen enough, and slid inside the ring with a steel chair, and hit Kaz in the back with a vicious shot! The referee called for the bell as Styles and Flair continued to assault Kaz in the middle of the ring... until DESMOND WOLFE ran from the back and cleared house! Styles, Flair and Chelsea fled the ringside area as Wolfe begged them to come back, as "Anarchy" went off the air. Kaz defeated AJ Styles by disqualification in 0:12:17.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 22:16:27 HWL Unbreakable PPV August 29, 2010 Qwest Center Omaha, Nebraska (Attendance: 11,760) Fireworks explode inside the arena as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Omaha(!) The jam-packed crowd goes crazy as camera show off the stage set-up and the ring. Daniels and Michels announce that there are six huge matches tonight - including tonight's main event - a Ladder Match for the HWL Heavyweight Title. And, just added during the week from HWL Owner Peter Bradshaw: if either Mr. Anderson, Ric Flair, or Chelsea interfere, they will be fired on the spot. They then send it to the ring for tonight's first match... Yoshi Tatsu vs. Kane On paper, this match was heavily favored to be won by "The Big Red Monster", and Kane appeared ready to make very short work of his smaller opponent tonight. However, Yoshi Tatsu, showing the same lack of care for himself that he showed last Monday, came out swinging, and shocked Kane with his tenacity. Tatsu showed a different kind of resolve than he has in the past, kicking out after TWO Choke Slams from Hell! Yet, he was unable to last much longer, and fell victim to a powerslam as Kane picked up the victory. Kane pinned Yoshi Tatsu after a powerslam in 0:19:58. Rating: *** The crowd begins to boo as the JumboTron shows the HWL Heavyweight Champion, AJ STYLES, entering the arena, flanked by Ric Flair and Chelsea. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels talk about the fact that tonight is the "Rubber Match" between Styles and Desmond Wolfe; and that Peter Bradshaw has announced that neither man can challenge for the title as long as the other one hold it, after tonight. A "hype" video shows the on-going verbal battle between The British Invasion and The Hart Dynasty, leading up to tonight's Tag Team Title Match. HWL Tag Team Title Match: The British Invasion vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) A lot went in to making this match over the last few weeks: upsets, verbal assaults, and a lot of mockery on the end of the challengers. However, when it came time for The British Invasion to back up their words with action, they were unable to do so. The Hart Dynasty had the fan support tonight in Omaha, but they also had Natalya at ringside, which gave them an advantage - whether The British Invasion wanted to admit it or not. With Natalya keeping them at bay outside the ring, the Invasion weren't able to use underhanded tactics, and were caught off guard when Tyson Kidd pinned Brutus Magnus with a Victory Roll! After the match, as the Dynasty celebrated outside of the ring, Brutus Magnus looked at the referee in absolute shock as he tried to argue the call. He smashed his fists into the canvas as The Dynasty made their way up the ramp. The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) defeated The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) when T. Kidd pinned B. Magnus after a Victory Roll in 0:06:19. Rating: * � (The Hart Dynasty retained the HWL Tag Team Titles.) Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with MATT MORGAN, who has a sadistic smile crossing his face. Morgan says that he has done everything to persuade Kurt Angle to show his face on Anarchy for the past two weeks, and still "The Olympic Gold Medalist" is hiding from him. He says that Angle wasn't able to hide last Tuesday night, and that Morgan knows why Angle isn't here tonight: because he doesn't want to get another taste of what he got on "PCW Wrestling". Morgan says that he'll go out to that ring, tonight, and wait all night for Angle to show up - if he has the guts. Also backstage, standing by himself, D'ANGELO DINERO looks into the camera with a determined stare. Dinero says that tonight is going to be his night of redemption; the night when he gets back what he should've never lost in the first place. He says that, without being forced to vacate the title because of his leg injury, he'd be walking into Unbreakable as X-Division Champion. But, he says that the next best thing is going to be him beating MVP all over Omaha, and walking out with his title around his waist. "I Quit" Match: Matt Morgan vs. Steve Corino The crowd was a little stunned by Kurt Angle's replacement tonight - the debuting Steve Corino, from PCW - but, Corino proved that he was a very capable opponent on the main stage. He gave "The Blueprint" much more of a fight than Morgan had bargained for, and just wouldn't quit! However, towards the end of the match, after getting slammed head-first into the steel ringsteps - and losing a lot of blood afterward - Corino was finished off by a vicious Carbon Footprint onto the concrete at ringside! Morgan, bloodied himself by a shot into the guardrail, brought Corino into the ring, where the referee noticed him unconscious, and called for the bell. After the match, Morgan stood over Corino, and celebrated his victory as the crowd booed. Matt Morgan defeated Steve Corino when S. Corino passed out in a choke against the ropes in 0:46:39. Rating: *** Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with the X-Division Champion, MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER. Porter says that D'Angelo Dinero can blame his "little injury" all he wants to, as the reason why he had to give up the X-Division Title. But, MVP says that Dinero never earned the right to challenge for the title tonight, instead, he kept getting lucky break after lucky break before eventually ending up here tonight. MVP says that, had Dinero not vacated the title, he would've lost the belt last month anyway. He says that, tonight, he will show Dinero why he's the HWL's Playmaker; and why he should be - and is - the rightful owner of the X-Division Title belt. Also backstage, CODY RHODES is seen getting ready for his match against Randy Orton, when he is confronted by "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes! The crowd goes crazy as the wrestling legend appears on-screen. But, the cheers quickly become jeers as Dusty tells Cody to stop at nothing to make sure Orton gets what he deserves. Dusty tells Cody that he's proud of him, for Inaking the initiative to bestow honor back on the family name, and that anything else then a victory tonight would not be tolerated. X-Division Title Match D'Angelo Dinero vs. � Montel Vontavious Porter The crowd was absolutely shocked - and not in a good way - at how quickly this match ended! These two men had been looking forward to this match for weeks, and they proved appeared ready to do battle, but a fluke accident in the center of the ring allowed Dinero to pin Porter for a surprising fast 1-2-3. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Montel Vontavious Porter after a legsweep faceslam in 0:02:46. Rating: * � (D'Angelo Dinero won the HWL X-Division Title.) Backstage, Alisha Hicks is with RANDY ORTON. Orton says that it was nice to see Dusty Rhodes backstage, giving his son a pep talk. But, he asks if Cody Rhodes should be taken advice from someone who had put their body on the line for all those years, and now can barely walk, yet alone stand. Orton says that it was touching to see Dusty give his son an ultimatum, but warns Cody that his father doesn't give a damn about his well being. Orton says that, when he was breaking into the business, his father told him that it was Randy's decision, and that whatever happened to him would be his own fault. So, Randy says that he's not wanting to win this match for his family's honor; he's not winning this match for his father. The only person he wants to win this match for, tonight, is himself. In another area backstage, the Heavyweight Champion, AJ STYLES, is seen standing by himself without the title belt. He says that tonight is the final time that he and Desmond Wolfe will step into the ring together as long as either one of them holds the Heavyweight Title. Styles says he knows that there is a lot riding on this match, and that Desmond Wolfe had mad it very clear that he's waiting for Styles tonight. But, Styles says that Desmond Wolfe doesn't have the kind of pressure weighing down on his shoulders like AJ has. Styles says that he finally got a taste of what it's like to be on top again, and that whether or not Ric Flair or Chelsea are at ringside, he is going to stop at nothing to keep that title belt. Styles says that he doesn't need the help of those two to prove to Desmond Wolfe that he's better than he is; the Heavyweight Title that has been around his waist for the past month proves that... and it doesn't matter how he got it! Styles says that tonight, with the belt hanging down from the rafters, it'll be the closer Desmond Wolfe gets to the gold for a long, long time. Strap Match Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton "The Viper" wasted no time tonight, striking Rhodes right from the start. Orton's shocking display of aggressive offense startled Rhodes, who was never fully able to retaliate. And, because of that, Orton had no true problem touching all four corners of the ring to pick up the victory. Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes in 0:05:11. Rating: 1/4 Backstage, also standing by himself, DESMOND WOLFE looks into the camera. He laughs to himself and wonders what sort of lies Ric Flair had been feeding into AJ Style's mind. He wonders why Styles thinks he can beat Desmond Wolfe alone, when just last month, he had already thought of a scheme that would screw Wolfe out of the Heavyweight Title. Wolfe says that Styles is nothing but talk when he's put in front of a camera - or when he's flanked by the people that will help him cheat to victory - but, when he gets put into a situation where he has to fend for himself, he's unable to do it. Wolfe says that he proved that last month inside the Steel Cage - even though he came up on the short end of the stick - and, that he'll prove it again, when AJ is all alone, staring up at the Heavyweight Title for the last time. Wolfe says that he has been waiting for Styles to come to Omaha, because he knows that it's the one last night where he can get "The Phenomenal One" inside the ring alone, and make him regret ever getting on Wolfe's bad side. A preview for the HWL's next pay-per-view event, "Hostile Takeover" is shown. The event will take place on September 26th, from Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! HWL Heavyweight Title - Ladder Match Desmond Wolfe vs. � AJ Styles Anticipation filled the Qwest Center tonight as the fans awaited the third match-up between these two in their quest to see who was the better superstar. The fans were going to get a definite winner tonight, because of all managers were banned from ringside, and they would've been out of a job had they shown up at ringside. The title belt loomed over both competitors as the match started, and Wolfe and Styles traded advantages throughout the match, thanks in large part to the steel ladders in the ring and laying around ringside. Countless times, both men were just inches away from grabbing the title belt, only to have the ladder knocked out from under their feet, sending them crashing down to the canvas! Both men were visibly exhausted - and their bodies were taking a toll - at the end of the match, but somehow, Desmond Wolfe found the strength to connect with his second Jawbreaker Lariat. The finished knocked AJ outside the ring, and allowed Wolfe a slow, yet successful, trip to the top of the ladder where he grabbed the Heavyweight Title. As the bell rang, the crowd went crazy, and Wolfe celebrated on the top of the ladder. Desmond Wolfe defeated AJ Styles in 0:11:18. Rating: * � (Desmond Wolfe won the HWL Heavyweight Title.)

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 22:18:33 Monday Night Anarchy August 30, 2010 Wells Fargo Arena Des Moines, Iowa (Attendance: 5,465) Highlights from last night's Unbreakable pay-per-view are shown to begin the program; the final still is of Desmond Wolfe holding the HWL Heavyweight Title. Now, in the arena, pyrotechnics shoot through the air, as the crowd goes crazy, and Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Des Moines. It is announced that all three champions will be in action tonight, including a rematch for the X-Division Title between Montel Vontavious Porter and D'Angelo Dinero. Desmond Wolfe appears on-stage, dressed in a brand new suit, and holds up the Heavyweight Title as the crowd cheers. Cameras flash throughout the arena as Wolfe drapes the title over his shoulder, and make his way down the ramp, entering the ring. He takes a microphone and says that it's good to stand in the ring as champion once again. (Crowd cheers) But, he says that he's even happier that, last night at Unbreakable, he finished what AJ Styles started. (Crowd boos Styles) Wolfe says that AJ put up a good fight last night, but that he just can't get the job done by himself. Wolfe wonders what Chelsea thinks about the former champion tonight, and if she sees Wolfe standing out here, regretting the decision she made. Wolfe says he's not going to concern himself with that thought, because "that bitch" made the choice, and now she has to deal with it. (Crowd cheers) Wolfe says that he's out here tonight because he knows that there are plenty of people who are waiting in line to get a taste of the Heavyweight Title, and he just wants to see who's next... The lights in the arena go out as fire shoots out from the stage. Josh Daniels and Scott Micheals say that it could only be one man... "The Big Red Monster" Kane! Kane appears on-stage, walking through the flames, on his way to the ring. Kane steps over the top rope and stands in the center of the ring, looking down at the Heavyweight Champion; a sadistic smile on his face. Kane takes the microphone from Wolfe, as the lights come back on, and says that he's going to make this short. He says that, just like everyone in the back, the Heavyweight Title is definitely on his mind. But tonight, the only thing he's thinking about, is sending a message to Wolfe; to hurt him. Kane says that Wolfe may now be finished with AJ Styles, but that his second title reign won't be nearly as long as his first one... as long as Kane has anything to say about it. Kane drops the microphone, and leaves the ring, staring into the ring as Desmond Wolfe stands in the center of the ring, returning the glare. Commercial Break Non-Title Match: Velvet Sky vs. � Sarita It appeared that The Beautiful People had been thinking up a pretty decent plan during their time away from the wrestling ring. Tonight, Velvet Sky had the chance to show what she could do against Sarita, who was coming off an impressive victory against Gail Kim last night at Unbreakable. However, Velvet had no plans of using her wrestling skills to her advantage, as she ran out of the ring, pleading for Sarita to come and get her. Not wanting to win the match by countout, Sarita gave in, and gave chase. Unknown to the Women's Champion AND the crowd in Des Moines, ANGELINA LOVE had been hiding under the ring! She sneaked out and connected with a boot shot to Sarita's head, knowing the champion unconscious. Velvet slid into the ring and celebrated as the referee counted Sarita out. After the match TBP celebrated as the crowd looked on in disgust. Velvet Sky defeated Sarita by countout in 0:00:50. Rating: * Backstage, the camera shows Cody Rhodes walking slowly into the locker room, where Ted DiBiase is seen sitting on a chair next to his locker. DiBiase waits for Rhodes to sit down at his locker before asking whether or not his match at Unbreakable was worth it or not. DiBiase says that he had never once heard Rhodes talk about wanting to get even with Randy Orton, and that he thought they were on the same page. But, DiBiase says, he hopes Cody learned his lesson last night. But, before he can finish his thought, Rhodes interrupts him, wanting to know why DiBiase has been on his ass about facing Orton last night. DiBiase says that it's simple. He tells Cody that Cody turned his back on their tag team after they lost the titles to The Hart Dynasty, and that if he had given a damn, they would be doing whatever they could to get those belts back. Rhodes slowly gets back to his feet, shaking his head, and tells Ted that he doesn't have to put up with his crap. Rhodes walks back out of the locker room, and the camera shows DiBiase staring at him as he leaves. Also backstage, Peter Bradshaw is seen walking through the hallways, greeting various crew members and making small talk. Montel Vontavious Porter appears on-screen, and interrupts the Owner, saying that he wanted to thank Bradshaw for allowing the rematch to take place tonight. Bradshaw says that, whether the rematch happens tonight or not, Porter should be ashamed of what the fans had to witness last night. Porter says that he doesn't care what the fans think, but that he has another chance to win back the X-Division Title. Bradshaw tells Porter that Porter might not care about the fans, but Bradshaw does; and that if Porter doesn't care about fans, then he clearly doesn't care what Bradshaw thinks. Porter stumbles over his words, trying to find something to say, but Bradshaw pats on the arm and walks away, leaving Porter flustered. Randy Orton vs. Matt Morgan Both of these men were coming off wins last night at Unbreakable, but "The Blueprint" showed his displeasure for having to face Steve Corino instead of Kurt Angle, and he took out that aggression on "The Viper". However, Morgan's rage got the better of him tonight, as he continuously disobeyed the referee's orders, and eventually got disqualified for not breaking a chokehold after the five-count. After the referee called for the bell, Morgan turned his attention on him, and chased the referee out of the ring as Orton lay prone in the corner. Seizing the opportunity, Morgan grabbed Orton, and brought him to his feet before hitting a Hellevator in the center of the ring! The crowd booed as Morgan stood over Orton, staring at him. Randy Orton defeated Matt Morgan by disqualification in 0:12:52. Rating: ** � Commercial Break Coming back from the break, Alisha Hicks introduces the new X-Division Champion, D'Angelo Dinero, who gets a huge cheer from the crowd at ringside. Hicks asks for Dinero's thoughts on having the defend the title he won just 24 hours ago, against the man he beat for it - MVP. Dinero says that he heard what Peter Bradshaw had to say a little bit ago, and that he's not the only one that's embarrassed about how last night's match ended. Dinero says that he didn't want to beat Porter because of a fluke accident inside the ring, but that he wanted to go out and prove there's a reason why he's the only two-time X-Division Champion. And, unlike Porter, Dinero says that he knows the fans deserve an X-Division match for the title, and promises to give them what they want, later tonight. Back at ringside, The Hart Dynasty is seen standing in the center of the ring. Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith have the Tag Team Titles wrapped around their waists, and Natalya stands between them, motioning for the crowd to continue the mixed reaction they are giving the trio. D.H. Smith takes a microphone and says that, whether the crowd in "this poe-dunk city" likes it or not, last night they did what they said they were going to do: they shut up The British Invasion. Smith says that he and Tyson Kidd may not have been champions as long as some other team - in reference to the former champions, The Motor City Machine Guns - but that they have shown dominance over every other tag team in the HWL, and that they have nothing left to prove. Smith says that, tonight, The Usos should be honored to even be stepping into the same ring with The Hart Dynasty, and that they will get a lesson in what a tag team with "real heritage" can do. Smith gives the microphone to Natalya, as she leaves the ring, and Smith and Kidd await The Usos... Non-Title Match: The Usos (w/Tamina) vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) The Hart Dynasty were coming off a huge title defense against The British Invasion, just 24 hours ago, and were looking to keep that momentum going tonight, as they took on the winless HWL rookies. The Usos were determined to get their first victory, and hoping for a huge upset tonight against the Tag Team Champions, but their determination seemed to have gotten the better of them as Jimmy Uso failed to heed the five-count from the referee, thus getting him and his brother disqualified, and continuing their losing ways. The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) defeated The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) when D.H. Smith defeated Jimmy by disqualification in 0:03:32. Rating: * 1/4 - After the match, Tyson Kidd jumped into the ring and attacked Jimmy Uso, pulling him away from Smith. Kidd and Jimmy Uso began to brawl in the center of the ring as Jey Uso rushed into the ring and threw Smith to the outside. Jey then attacked Kidd from behind, and The Usos kept up the assault until Smith gained his composure and slid under the bottom rope, clearing the ring. Smith knelt over Kidd's body, and stared at The Usos, as they made their way up the ramp, smiling at what they had done to the Tag Team Champions. Backstage, Yoshi Tatsu is seen sitting in the locker room with a large wrap around his midsection, when Kaz walks in and sits beside him. Kaz says he wants to know what was going on through Yoahi's mind last week, when he attacked Kane and agreed to the match with him last night. Through slow, drawn-out breaths, Yoshi says that Kaz has been telling Yoshi to take control of his career, and to prove that he can hold his own inside the ring, so he went after the biggest man on the roster. Yoshi says that he wants Kaz to be proud of him, and he wants to win the Tag Team Titles... Kaz tells Yoshi that he needs to stop trying so hard, and just let things come together. Kaz says that, sooner or later, they will get their shot at the Tag Team Title... and when it happens, they will walk away as champions. Commercial Break Coming back from the break, Alisha Hicks is seen backstage with Steve Corino, who gets a mixed reaction from the crowd at ringside. Alisha asks for Corino's thoughts about debuting last night in place of Kurt Angle in the "I Quit" Match against Matt Morgan. Corino says that he wasn't going to lie, and that last night was very nerve-racking for him. He says that he knew his chances against Matt Morgan were going to be slim, because Morgan was dead-set on sending a message to Angle, but that Corino was just hoping to survive the match. Corino says that he is sore, and a little banged up, but he did survive "The Blueprint's" rage. He says that he got off to a really rough start in the HWL, but that his goal was to make up for it, and make the best of the chance that's been given to him. X-Division Title Match Montel Vontavious Porter vs. � D'Angelo Dinero MVP came out to the ring, to a strong negative response from the crowd, and restated that his loss last night was nothing but a fluke. He said that there was no way D'Angelo Dinero could have legitimately beaten him that quickly without something going wrong. Before he could continue, the X-Division Champion made his way to the ring, and the match began. This time around there were no unintended mishaps from the challenger, as MVP and Dinero fought back and forth, trying to wear each other down enough to walk away with the championship belt. But, as luck would have it, MVP would be the only one to blame for his demise tonight, as he attempted a springboard bodyblock, but Dinero was quick enough to move aside, and MVP landed chest-first onto the concrete outside the ring! Unable to move, with the air knocked out of him, MVP laid motionless on the concrete until Dinero picked him up and rolled him into the ring. Dinero propped MVP in the corner, and adding insult to injury, connected with a vicious DDE before getting the 1-2-3. D'Angelo Dinero pinned Montel Vontavious Porter with the DDE in 0:11:14. Rating: * 1/4 (D'Angelo Dinero retained the X-Division Title.) - After the match, Dinero stood over MVP, holding the X-Division Title high in the air, when from the backstage area, RHINO ran down to the ring and attacked Dinero from behind! Rhino grabbed the title belt as Dinero got to his feet, and connected with a straight shot to Dinero's head, opening up a small gash on his forehead. Rhino, with the title still in hand, stood over both Dinero and MVP, holding the title into the air as the crowd booed. A preview for HWL's next pay-per-view, HOSTILE TAKEOVER, is shown. The event will take place, live from the Rexall Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on September 26th! Backstage, Peter Bradshaw tells Alisha Hicks that he has an announcement to make concerning next week's Anarchy. Bradshaw says that he was listening when The Hart Dynasty said they were waiting to see who would be "next in line" for their Tag Team Titles at Hostile Takeover, and says that they will get their answer next week, because there will be a Number One Contenders match to determine their opponents. Bradshaw thanks Alisha for the time, and walks off-camera, as the shot goes back to ringside. Non-Title Match � Desmond Wolfe vs. Kane Desmond Wolfe came out first, and was welcomed by a very warm response from the crowd. Twenty-four hours removed from ending his feud with AJ Styles, and winning back the Heavyweight Title, Wolfe found himself stepping into the ring with the man he originally defeated to win the title back in April. Kane, who had used Yoshi Tatsu as a warm-up, last night at Unbreakable, had said earlier in the evening that he would send a message to the Heavyweight Champion, and that's exactly what he came out and did. Wolfe threw everything he could at "The Big Red Monster", but his body began to break down from the torture it had gone through last night, and Kane was able to connect with a back-breaking Choke Slam From Hell to pick up the victory. Kane pinned Desmond Wolfe with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:04:29. Rating: � After the match, Kane stood over Wolfe, looking down at the champion, as fire erupted from the ring posts.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 23:16:10 Monday Night Anarchy September 6, 2010 Target Center Minneapolis, Minnesota (Attendance: 10,920) A video clip begins the program, showing the post-match attack by Kane on Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels then welcome everyone to Minneapolis, and wish them a happy Labor Day. They announce that there are just 20 days left until Hostile Takeover, and that the road to the pay-per-view got a little bumpier for Desmond Wolfe last week. It is announced that, tonight, Kane will be in action against Montel Vontavious Porter in the main event. Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw was not at all pleased by how last week's match between Velvet Sky and Sarita ended, and he was going to make sure that no interference took placed tonight. Bradshaw pitted both members of The Beautiful People against each other as punishment, but that's not how Angelina or Velvet saw it. Trying to find a way out of facing each other, both women left the ring and demanded to be counted out. Their plan was thwarted when the referee refused, saying that they must wrestler, per orders from Bradshaw. Reluctant and unhappy, both women re-entered the ring, and shocked the crowd by how much neither were willing to lose. Velvet connected with the Beauty Mark to pick up the victory. Velvet Sky pinned Angelina Love with the Beauty Mark in 0:08:19. Rating: � After the match, Velvet extended her hand to help Angelina to her feet, but Angelina rolled under the bottom rope, and slowly made her way up the ramp as Velvet looked on in shock. Backstage, D'Angelo Dinero is seen getting his ring attire on, when he is approached by Rhino. Rhino says that he hates knowing that he will have to team up with Dinero tonight, and that it's the last thing he wants to do. Rhino says that tonight, whether they win or lose, will not keep him from taking the X-Division Title away from Dinero at Hostile Takeover. Dinero stands up, looking Rhino in the eyes, and says that he's not happy about the situation either, but there's nothing either of them can do about it. Dinero says that he's putting their personal hatred aside - for one night only - because he's going out there and doing the right thing. He agrees with Rhino, and says that after tonight they can focus on finishing what they never got the chance to. Dinero walks away, leaving Rhino alone in the locker room. Also backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Randy Orton. Orton says that he's fully aware of that the fact that Matt Morgan is wanting to make a statement, and that he wants to send a message to Kurt Angle, but that he has picked the wrong person to use as his example. Orton says that he's still banged up from the attack last week, but that he vows to even the score with Matt Morgan when the time is right. Orton is then interrupted as ALEX SHELLEY appears, and pats Orton on the back. Shelley says that, speaking of time, the time is right for them to finally prove how good of a tag team they can be, and earn a shot at the Tag Team Titles tonight. Shelley walks away as Orton shakes his head. Steve Corino vs. Cody Rhodes Cody Rhodes appeared to have received some motivation from his conversation with Ted DiBiase last week, as he came out with a fiercer side than the HWL fans had seen before. Rhodes took the fight - and let his aggression out - to Corino, seemingly sending a message to DiBiase and the rest of the HWL, even bloodying Corino by shoving him into the ring post. Corino, however, tried everything he could to get back into the match, but quickly fell victim to the Cross Rhodes, for the 1-2-3. Cody Rhodes pinned Steve Corino with the Cross Rhodes in 0:09:15. Rating: � After the match, Rhodes got on the microphone and said that he thinks he showed Ted DiBiase that he can still be trusted, as it is now Rhodes' goal to hold both the HWL and PCW Tag Team Titles. Rhodes then threw the microphone onto Corino's body before leaving the ring. Commercial Break Backstage, AJ STYLES is seen with Ric Flair, Mr. Anderson, and Chelsea. He tells them that he was shocked by what Desmond Wolfe had to say last week, about him not being able to win the Heavyweight Title by himself. He says that he won the title in 2009 by himself, and that he knew he could do it again. He tells the other three that, sooner or later, he'll get back into the Heavyweight Title picture. And when he does, he'll win back the belt all by himself! He storms away from the group as the three of them look at each other, not knowing what to say... Also backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with THE HART DYNASTY. David Hart Smith says that he thinks its funny how The Usos keep talking about their heritage in the wrestling business, and how they think it's going to make them successful, but its done nothing to help them since they arrived in the HWL. He says that unlike The Usos - who are living off their family's heritage - he, Tyson Kidd, and Natalya are out making a name for themselves. He says that every single person who pays attention to wrestling knows what the Hart heritage is, and they know that what the three of them have is something special. But, Smith says that they don't try to get by on it. They've made their own name in this business, and it's proven by the Tag Team Titles that he and Kidd own. Tyson Kidd then says that tradition only gets people so far in this business, and that the lack of success by The Usos only highlights how much important their family's tradition is. He then says that he and Smith will be watching very closely to who is named the number one contenders for Hostile Takeover. Because, whoever wins tonight, will have a long, hard road to take these belts away from them. Number One Contenders Match Randy Orton/Alex Shelley vs. � D'Angelo Dinero/Rhino Both of these teams have had interesting pasts in the HWL, and tonight they both teamed up for the chance to challenge The Hart Dynasty for the Tag Team Titles at Hostile Takeover. Randy Orton and Alex Shelley were clearly the team that had the more pleasant experience in the past, and it showed tonight, as they made quick tags and seemed to work very well as a team. Although, their task was made a little easier by the sheer distaste that Rhino and the X-Division Champion have for each other. After last week's attack by "The War Machine", Dinero didn't hide his disappointment with the match-up, but he did give a valiant effort to win the chance for his team. However, when Orton locked in a sleeperhold on Rhino, in the center of the ring, "The Pope" stood on the apron and watched as Rhino lost consciousness. Randy Orton & Alex Shelley defeated D'Angelo Dinero & Rhino after R. Orton made Rhino pass out in a sleeperhold in 0:05:53. Rating: ** 1/4 After the match, as Shelley and Orton celebrated their victory inside the ring, Dinero grabbed the X-Division Title and made his way up the ramp, not once turning to check on his partner. A preview for tomorrow's edition of "PCW Wrestling" highlights the 2-out-of-3 Falls Match between Justin Gabriel and Daniel Bryan for the PCW Heavyweight Title. Also, "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan challenges Jay Lethal for the Television Title! Commercial Break Coming back from the break, DESMOND WOLFE is seen speaking with Nikki Bella backstage, when MONTEL VONTAVIOUS PORTER attacks him from behind, knocking Wolfe to the ground! Nikki screams out as MVP assaults Wolfe on the ground before officials can pull him off the champion. Porter tells Wolfe that he shouldn't worry about anyone else but him, and that he's coming for the Heavyweight Title. Nikki Bella checks on Wolfe as the officials escort Porter away... Evan Bourne vs. Matt Morgan Evan Bourne made another long-awaited appearance tonight, but found himself going up against Matt Morgan, who has been sending a message to the HWL roster over the past week. After handling Steve Corino easily at Unbreakable, last Monday night, Morgan left Randy Orton motionless in the center of the ring. And, tonight, he was looking to do the same against his much smaller opponent. The match was a great battle, as Evan Bourne continued to find ways to stay alive, even as Morgan used the ringside arena as a playground. But, eventually, Morgan's frustration got the best of him - again - and he missed with the Carbon Footprint. This allowed Bourne to hit a springboard dropkick, and Bourne quickly with to the top rope and hit a Shooting Star Press, for the shocking upset! Evan Bourne pinned Matt Morgan with the Shooting Star Press in 0:15:44. Rating: ** � After the match, Bourne quickly rolled out of the ring as Morgan slowly came to, and celebrated his victory. Sitting against the turnbuckle, Matt Morgan was fuming as he watched Bourne leave the stage. Backstage, a very hesitant Alisha Hicks tries to get a comment from KANE. Kane says that he has sat back and watched one person after another get shots at the Heavyweight Title, never getting a second match with Desmond Wolfe since the tournament finals a few months ago. He says that last night was just a sample of what's in store for anyone who wants to stand in his way of getting to the main event at Hostile Takeover. Kane says that tonight, Montel Vontavious Porter will feel the exact same pain that Desmond Wolfe felt... and it will bring him one step closer to the World Heavyweight Title. An advertisement for "Hostile Takeover" is shown. The event will take place September 26th, live from the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Commercial Break Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kane Kane has been on a rampage since Unbreakable, and tonight he was coming off a huge non-title victory against Desmond Wolfe. Tonight, "The Big Red Monster" set his eyes on MVP, the new Number One Contender for the Heavyweight Title. This match got out of hand very quickly, as both men made their way outside the ring, and repeatedly did what they could to keep the match from being fought inside. At the end of the match, Kane bodyslammed Porter onto the concrete before rolling him inside the ring. However, Kane was not finished, as he cleared off the ringside announcing table and brought it into the ring! Not risking a disqualification, Kane picked up Porter and hit the Choke Slam From Hell for the 1-2-3. Kane pinned Montel Vontavious Porter with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:08:16. Rating: ** � After the match, the referee pleaded with Kane to leave the ring, but Kane easily tossed him to the side. Kane then set up the announcing table in the center of the ring as the crowd groaned with anticipation. He then picked up Porter, once again, and sent him through the table with another Choke Slam From Hell! Kane stood over the wreckage, laughing, as flames shot out of the ring posts! Card Rating: * �*
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 23:18:35 Monday Night Anarchy September 13, 2010 MTS Centre Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (Attendance: 6,757) "Anarchy" comes on the air, and a highlight package is shown from last week's episode. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome the at-home audience to Winnipeg. It is announced that, tonight, the new Number One Contenders for the Tag Team Titles, Randy Orton and Alex Shelley, will face off against the Tag Team Champions in a non-title match. And, also tonight, Kane will face the X-Division Champion, D'Angelo Dinero, in a non-title match. Flames shoot from the stage, and the lights in the arena go out, as KANE makes his way down to the ring. Daniels and Michaels go over the destruction that he has caused over the past two weeks, and speculate what is going on in Dinero's mind heading into tonight's main event. Kane enters the ring as the lights come back on, and gets on the mic. He says that, ever since Rebellion, back in April, he has seen a handful of people get their chances at Desmond Wolfe, only to come up empty-handed in the end. He says that AJ Styles even got three chances to win the belt, but ultimately couldn't do it. Kane says that he has sat back for too long, watching people attempt to do what he knows he would be able to: win the Heavyweight Title. He says that he knows its a shock to everyone in the back, because Kane hasn't been heard from much, but he says that he made his point felt two weeks ago, when he defeated Desmond Wolfe in the center of the ring. He says, last week, the point was made even clearer when he beat Montel Vontavious Porter, and sent the number one contender "straight to hell". He says that, tonight, D'Angelo Dinero will be the one standing in his way of getting what Kane feels he deserves. Kane says that, after he is finished with Dinero tonight, there will be no denying who the rightful challenger to Desmond Wolfe should be at Hostile Takeover. Kane then drops the microphone, and leaves the ring, as the crowd boos him. Commercial Break Backstage, Women's Champion SARITA (crowd cheers), is seen walking through the hallways. As she turns a corner, she is stopped by NATALYA (crowd boos). Natalya says she just wanted to remind Sarita that she's only holding the title for a short time, and that someday soon, Natalya will get "her" title back. Velvet Sky vs. Daffney Velvet Sky has been on a role lately, but stepped into the ring tonight against her toughest opponent as of late. Velvet and Daffney have met many times since the rebirth of the HWL, and tonight, their rivalry continued all over the ringside area. A lot of action took place outside the ring, where Daffney used her surroundings to her advantage. However, it wasn't enough to put down one-half of The Beautiful People, as Velvet wound up hitting The Beauty Mark for the 1-2-3! Velvet Sky pinned Daffney with the Beauty Mark in 0:19:35. Rating: ** � After the match, a wore out Velvet Sky rolled out of the ring, and collapsed onto the ramp as the crowd cheered around her. Backstage, the crowd cheers as DESMOND WOLFE is seen entering the MTS Centre. In the locker room, CODY RHODES is seen getting ready for his match, when TED DIBIASE walks in. DiBiase asks Rhodes about what he meant by his comments last week after their match on PCW Wrestling. Rhodes says that yes, he is committed to winning back the HWL Tag Team Titles, and that next week, they're going to get one step closer to winning the PCW Tag Team Titles. Before leaving the locker room, Rhodes gets into DiBiase's face and tells him, that after they win the PCW Tag Team Titles, DiBiase will never be able to question his commitment again. Commercial Break Cody Rhodes vs. Rhino Both Cody Rhodes and Rhino came into this match with something to prove, but the only one who proved anything tonight was Rhodes, who proved that, when faced with a tougher opponent, will stop at anything to get out of a match. Rhodes got himself disqualified after pulling the referee into the path of Rhino's Gore, and fled the ring as "The Man Beast" got to his feet. Rhino defeated Cody Rhodes by disqualification in 0:02:30. Rhino suffered a concussion, and will be out for one (1) week. Rating: * � After the match, as Rhino slowly got to his feet, wobbling, Rhodes laughed as he made his way up the ramp, pointing to his head. He stood on the top of the stage as other HWL officials rushed down to help Rhino. Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with the HWL Tag Team Champions, THE HART DYNASTY and Natalya. David Hart Smith says that, last week, Randy Orton and Alex Shelley "earned" the right to face them for the Tag Team Titles at Hostile Takeover. But, Smith says, that he has already been able to see that Orton and Shelley don't stand a chance to win the belts, because Randy Orton's heart isn't in to winning tag team gold. Smith says that the only reason Orton is teaming up with Shelley is because he was trying to prove a point to Cody Rhodes and Legacy. He says that Orton did what he was supposed to do, and he got his redemption, but now he's been dragged into teaming up with Alex Shelley again... something the entire world knows he doesn't want to do. Tyson Kidd says that Alex Shelley was one-half of the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in HWL history, with Chris Sabin. But he asks where Sabin is now, saying that Sabin got tired of being held back by Shelley, and sooner or later, Randy Orton is going to realize that teaming with Shelley is just holding him back from his personal goal of winning titles on his own. Kidd says that tonight, Orton and Shelley will get a taste of what they can expect at Hostile Takeover, and that after tonight, Randy Orton may reconsider his decision to ever come to Alex Shelley's aide. A preview for "PCW Wrestling" is shown, announcing the PCW Heavyweight Title match between Ted DiBiase and Daniel Bryan. Also, former Heavyweight Champion, Justin Gabriel faces Jay Lethal for the PCW Television Title. Non-Title Match Randy Orton/Alex Shelley vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) Orton and Shelley won the right to face the Tag Team Champions, for the belts, at Hostile Takeover on September 26th, but tonight was a preview of what will take place at the pay-per-view event, and things didn't go so well for the champs. Both teams fought hard, and gave the fans a taste of what will take place in 13 days, but thinking the time was right, Natalya interfered, tripping Randy Orton, However, the referee saw the interference and disqualified the champs, giving the #1 Contenders the victory. Randy Orton & Alex Shelley defeated The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) when R. Orton defeated D. H. Smith by disqualification in 0:11:11. Rating: * � [Natalya interfered against Randy Orton.] After the match, Smith attacked Orton from behind, as both Shelley and Kidd entered the ring. All four men began to brawl in the ring, until Smith tossed Orton over the top rope, then double-teamed Shelley with Kidd. They hit the Hart Attack on Shelley, and then turned their attention to Natalya outside the ring. Orton got his feet, and pulled Shelley out of the ring, as Smith, Kidd, and Natalya shared words at ringside. Commercial Break Backstage, Velvet Sky confronts Angelina Love in the dressing room. Velvet wants to know what Angelina was so upset about last week, and says that she was trying to do the right thing after their match. Angelina says she appreciated the offer, but that she isn't happy with the way things have gone as of late. Angelina says that, if anyone should be upset, it should be Velvet, because the only person she's been about to legitimately beat was her. Angelina says she knows that both of them are better than where they are right now, and that she still has goals of winning the HWL Women's Title. Angelina tells Velvet that its one thing to be beautiful - which they both are - but, it's another thing to be the best female wrestler in the Horizon Wrestling League, and she knows that either one of them are better then Sarita. She says that, instead of talking about it, they both need to go out and prove it. A preview for "Hostile Takeover" is shown. The event will take place from the Scoticabank Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, live on September 26th! Evan Bourne vs. AJ Styles (w/Ric Flair & Chelsea) In what could easily be considered the match of the night, Evan Bourne and AJ Styles rekindled their "better than you" rivalry tonight, much to the crowd's liking. Bourne has found himself on a good luck streak as of late, while Styles is coming off a huge title loss at Unbreakable, and trying to prove that he can win matches without the help of outside interference from Flair or Chelsea. Tonight, though, would not be the night he proved his critics wrong as Bourne connected with the Shooting Star Press for the victory. Evan Bourne pinned AJ Styles with the Shooting Star Press in 0:20:55. Raitng: **** 1/4 After the match, Bourne slides out of slid out of the ring as Chelsea slid in and check on AJ. Ric Flair watched as Bourne made his way up the ramp. On the stage, MATT MORGAN attacked Bourne from behind, throwing him into the steel stage set-up. Morgan then grabbed Bourne and connected with the Hellevator onto the stage! Morgan stood over Bourne as Flair and Chelsea looked on at ringside. Backstage, X-Division Champion D'Angelo Dinero is seen walking toward the stage, dressed in his ring attire, when he is confronted by Rhino. Rhino wants to know what Dinero was thinking, last week, when he walked off as Rhino laid in the ring unconscious. Dinero answers Rhino's question with one of his own, asking if Rhino really expected him to give a damn about his well-being after being attacked two weeks ago, or if it's just the concussion screwing with Rhino's brain. Dinero reiterated the point that, they weren't friends - and never would be - and, that they were only teaming up last week because they had no other choice. He says that Rhino should be more worried about what's going to happen at Hostile Takeover, than whether or not Dinero likes him. "The Pope" walks off, leaving Rhino glaring in his direction. Commercial Break Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Heavyweight Champion Desmond Wolfe, who is intently watching a monitor. Alisha asks what's been going through Wolfe's mind since hearing about Kane's demand earlier in the show. Stoically looking at the monitor, Wolfe says that Kane has every right to make that demand. He says that Kane has gone out and done everything he said he was going to do. He says that, if Kane is able to defeat D'Angelo Dinero tonight, then there should be no reason why Kane doesn't get a Heavyweight Title match at Hostile Takeover. But, Wolfe says that no matter what Kane is able to do on the way to next Sunday; it only matters what he's able to do on the night of September 26th. Wolfe says that he and Kane have shared wins over the past few months, but when it mattered most, Kane wasn't able to get the job done. He then excuses himself, and gets ready to watch the main event. Non-Title Match � D'Angelo Dinero vs. Kane Kane was intent on sending a message to Desmond Wolfe; that he was coming for the Heavyweight Title. The only real threat in "The Big Red Monster's" way was the X-Division Champion, who would loved to have a victory over Kane tonight. Dinero took everything Kane could dish out, taking a lot of punishment on his lower back during the match. Dinero tried to get ahead late, but after a towering backdrop - and an awkward landing - Dinero rolled out of the ring, holding his lower back, and was counted out. Laughing, Kane looked on as the referee counted to 10, and awarded the match the the Monster. Kane defeated D'Angelo Dinero by count-out in 0:09:50. Rating: ** 1/4 After the match, the referee was quick to step between Kane and the ropes, stopping Kane from exiting the ring to inflict more damaged on the X-Division Champion. Kane left the ring, and made his way up the ramp, as the referee slid under the ropes to check on Dinero. As Kane stood on the stage, DESMOND WOLFE attacked him from behind, sending Kane down to the steel! Wolfe kept up the assault on "The Big Red Monster" until security rushed to the scene, and carried Wolfe away. The camera showed Kane, looking into the direction of Wolfe, as a sadistic smile crossed his lips. Card Rating: * 3/4*

It is announced, that tonight, a huge tag team main event will take place, pitting "The War Machine" Rhino and "The Big Red Monster" Kane against X-Division Champion, D'Angelo Dinero and Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe. Gail Kim vs. Natalya Both women made their way to the ring tonight, getting good reactions from the crowd - Natalya's ovation was a little louder, coming from her native fans. Kim looked poised to pull an upset over the former Women's Champion, but after confronting Sarita last week, Natalya came into this match very focused on not faltering on her promise. The match went back and forth - and even spilled out to the ringside area for a moment - before Natalya locked in the Sharpshooter. However, Kim had the resolve to fight her way to the ropes, and break the submission. Annoyed, and eager to end the match, Natalya quickly locked the Sharpshooter on again, forcing Kim to tap out. Natalya made Gail Kim submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:15:28. Rating: ** � After the match, Natalya grabbed a microphone, and told Sarita that she wasn't being funny - or cute - when she said she was coming for Sarita's title. Natalya said that Sarita's days as Champion are numbered, because the title was taken away from Natalya too soon. This brought out Sarita - and a loud ovation from the crowd - who told Natalya that she can't win the title by running her mouth; and that the only way to see who was truly better was in the ring. Sarita said that all Natalya had to do was name a time and place, and she'd be happy to put the belt on the line. Sarita walked off-stage as Natalya glared at her from the middle of the ring. Backstage, Velvet Sky confronts Angelina Love, and says that she took what Love said last week to heart. Velvet said that, over the past couple weeks, she's been the one who has gone out to the ring and shown what she can do, and that she has enjoyed every second of it. Velvet said she never had the chance to hold a title before, on her own, and that even being "this close" is great. Velvet said that she wants to be the best wrestler in the HWL, and it's thanks to Angelina that she's taking things more seriously. But, Velvet wondered when Angelina was going to take her own advice. Velvet turned and walked off as Angelina looked off into the distance... X-Division Champion, D'Angelo Dinero, is seen entering the arena. The crowd gave him a nice response, and Josh Matthews and Scott Michaels hyped up the tag team main event for tonight. Steve Corino vs. Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) The display of Canadian talent continued in this match, as both men were welcomed with a mixed reaction from the crowd. Corino, the newest member of the HWL roster, had to worry about Kidd - and Natalya outside of the ring. However, because of events that took place last week, Kidd appeared to be concerned about Natalya's actions as well. Natalya did get invovled in the match, distracting Corino as Kidd recovered on the outside, before sliding back into the ring. Kidd took advantage of the distraction and connected with a beautiful dropkick, but was unable to put Corino away. As the match continued, Kidd was seen getting more and more frustrated, and it eventually caught up to him as Corino hit the Sliding Lariat to pick up the 1-2-3! Steve Corino pinned Tyson Kidd with the Sliding Lariat in 0:11:40. Rating: * � After the match, Corino slid out of the ring and celebrated his victory as Natalya entered the ring. She tried to help Kidd to his feet, but was pushed away before Kidd rolled under the bottom rope. Holding his jaw, Kidd made his way back up the ramp, as Natalya stood in the center of the ring, holding her arms out in question. Commercial Break HWL Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe, came out to the ring as Anarchy returned from commercials. Wolfe carried the Heavyweight Title with him, but after entering the ring, he laid the title over a turnbuckle, and said that he wanted to address "The Big Red Monster" Kane. Wolfe said that there was no denying the path of destruction he had created on his way to their match on Sunday night, but that the one person Kane wants to be afraid of him, isn't. Wolfe said that he's been in this position before, and that he'll remind Kane, that Wolfe beat him for the Heavyweight Title back in April. Wolfe said that he's already beaten Kane, and that already puts him at an advantage heading into Hostile Takeover. Wolfe said that there was a reason the Heavyweight Title found it's way back into his hands; because he doesn't back down from adversity; that he faces everything straight - just like the countless street fights he had to go through growing up in England. Wolfe said that Kane is no different then the bigger kids he fought growing up: they all thought they would have their way with Wolfe, but every one of them was proven wrong. The lights then went out in the arena, as Kane made his way down the ramp, and entered the ring. He stared down at Wolfe, with a sadistic smile on his face, before grabbing the microphone away from the Heavyweight Champion. Kane said that he can't be compared to anyone that Wolfe grew up fighting, because all they wanted to do was hurt Wolfe, whereas Kane wants to end his career. Kane asked Wolfe if he believed his own words, saying that if Wolfe wasn't scared of Kane, he wouldn't have attacked him from behind last week. He said that's no way to get the advantage, because it proves that he has already gotten into Wolfe's head. Kane said that Wolfe has no idea what he's in for, and that later tonight is only going to be a small taste of what happens at Hostile Takeover; that is, if Wolfe has the guts to step into the ring with "The Big Red Monster" before Sunday night. Kane then left the ring as Wolfe looked on; the crowd sending a mixed reaction. In the back, Alisha Hicks asked Rhino how he felt, a week after sustaining a concussion during his match with Cody Rhodes. Rhino said that his vision is still a little blurry, but it's nothing compared to what he'd gone through in the past. He said the trainers have told him that he should be ready to go by Sunday night - and that he won't miss out on taking the X-Division Title away from D'Angelo Dinero - but, he said that feels ready to go tonight, and he looks forward to getting his hands on Dinero before Hostile Takeover. As Rhino walked away from Alisha, he is stopped by HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw, who said that he had spoken directly to the trainers this morning, about Rhino's condition; and that they said that Sunday night would be the earliest he could step back into the ring. So, Bradshaw said that he would be looking out for the interest of the fans, and the interest of Rhino - who missed out on his last title shot due to injury - and replacing Rhino with Montel Vontavious Porter for tonight's main event. "The War Machine" glared at Bradshaw as the owner told Rhino that he'd thank him Sunday night. The Usos (w/Tamina) vs. The British Invasion Both of these teams got less then expected reactions from the crowd tonight, as they haven't had much ring time in the last few weeks. The Usos came into this match, having gone winless since debuting last month; and The British Invasion were trying to pick themselves back up after coming up short in their quest to take the Tag Team Titles from The Hart Dynasty, at Unbreakable. The British Invasion came out, very aggressively, and looked like they were going to end the match quick; but, Jimmy and Jey used their speed to wear down their bigger opponents. Earlier in the match, Rob Terry had managed to bring a table into the ring, and that's where it sat for the entirety, as The British Invasion were unable to capitalize with the foreign object. Tamina got involved towards the end, holding Rob Terry's leg as Jimmy Uso connected with the Superfly Splash to pick up the surprise - and The Usos' first-ever - victory. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey) defeated The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) when Jimmy pinned Magnus with the Superfly Splash in 0:16:45. Rating: ** 1/4 After the match, Rob Terry freed himself from Tamina's grasp, and entered the ring, attacking Jimmy Uso from behind! Jey entered the ring, to help his brother, was Terry easily tossed him over the top rope. "Big Rob" kept up the attack on Jimmy, giving himself enough time to set the table up in the corner. Magnus slowly made his way to his feet, as Big Rob pulled Jimmy Uso to his feet, and threw him into the table with a powerful irish whip. Big Rob and Magnus raised their arms in victory as the crowd booed. They left the ring, as Jey Uso and Tamina entered, checking on their injured partner. Highlights are shown from last week's episode of "PCW Wrestling", showing Ted DiBiase defeating Daniel Bryan for the PCW Heavyweight Title. It is announced, again, that there will be a tournament held tomorrow night, to determine the new PCW Heavyweight Champion. Commercial Break Ted DiBiase was seen, walking around backstage, when he was confronted by Cody Rhodes. Rhodes wanted to know what DiBiase was thinking, claiming to be above the Tag Team Titles - and above the PCW Heavyweight Title - just weeks after getting onto Rhodes for not showing enough commitment. Rhodes said that, if nothing else, DiBiase was a hypocrite; and that there was no way they'd be teaming up from now on... because DiBiase proved that he couldn't be trusted. Rhodes turned to walk away, but was attacked from behind by DiBiase! DiBiase threw Rhodes into the cement wall, before landing repeated kicks into Rhodes's midsection. DiBiase then got into Rhodes's face, and told Cody that he was the weak link in Legacy. DiBiase said, that now, he doesn't have to worry about carrying Rhodes on his back. DiBiase got back to his feet and walked away as Rhodes held his chest in pain. Yoshi Tatsu vs. Alex Shelley Yoshi Tatsu was greeted by a mixed reaction from the crowd tonight, but it was clear who the crowd was behind when Alex Shelley made his way out to the ring. Just six days away from teaming up with Randy Orton - to take on the Hart Dynasty for the Tag Team Titles - Shelley found himself dealing with an opponent that has had his fair share of trouble impressing his tag team partner. Tonight, however, Shelley was the one making the good impression, as he picked up the victory, hitting the Sliced Bread #2. Alex Shelley pinned Yoshi Tatsu with the Sliced Bread #2 in 0:13:38. Rating: * 1/4 Backstage, The Hart Dynasty is shown walking out of the arena, when David Hart Smith abruptly stopped, and said that he had something on his chest that he needed to get off before they walked out of the building. He turned to Natalya, and said that he had been questioning her choices over the past two weeks - including tonight - when it come to interfering in Smith's and Kidd's matches. Smith said that, last week, Natalya cost them a match against Randy Orton and Alex Shelley. But then tonight, when Tyson was on the verge of losing, she stood at ringside and did absolutely nothing. Smith said that he knew Natalya was focusing on getting the Women's Title back around her waist, but he warned her to look at the big picture, and to make sure nothing happens Sunday night at Hostile Takeover. Smith and Kidd then walked outside, leaving Natalya dumbfounded. A preview for Hostile Takeover is shown, announcing the matches that will take place during the event. The pay-per-view will take place in six days, live from the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Montel Vontavious Porter/Kane vs. � D'Angelo Dinero/ � Desmond Wolfe Earlier tonight, it was announced that Porter would be replacing the injured Rhino, but the crowd greeted him just the same as if it had been the number one contender for the X-Division Title. Kane came out to a tremendous roar of boos, and it was speculated as to how they would coexist as a team, after Kane defeated Porter to take away the number one contenders spot for the Heavyweight Title. They stood in the ring, saying nothing to each other as they awaited their opponents' arrival. "The Pope" came out first, to a decent ovation from the crowd, carrying the X-Division Title over his shoulder. His made his way down the ramp, and stood at ringside - staring at Porter - as he waited for his partner. The Heavyweight Champion was introduced next, and got a huge ovation from the crowd. But he didn't waste any time, as Wolfe and Dinero slid into the ring and the match began. The match itself was very evenly fought, considering Kane's size and strength advantage, but neither team was willing to get their opponents an inch of room to put the match in their favor. MVP and Kane surprisingly worked well as a team tonight, and carried the advantage for a better part of the match. But, Dinero and Wolfe fought their way back, hoping to even things up, and send them into Hostile Takeover with some momentum. That momentum never came to the champions, as MVP connected with the Playmaker on "The Pope" to pick up the victory! Montel Vontavious Porter & Kane defeated D'Angelo Dinero & Desmond Wolfe when MVP pinned Dinero with the Playmaker in 0:19:15. Rating: * � After the match, MVP stood victoriously over Dinero, as Kane kept Desmond Wolfe at bay. Kane joined MVP in the center of the ring as flames shot out from the ring posts. Anarchy went off the air as Wolfe stared at Kane from ringside...

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 23:22:17 HWL Hostile Takeover PPV September 26, 2010 Rexall Place - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (Attendance: 8,420) -- Fireworks explode inside the arena as the camera shows the fans cheering. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Rexall Place - home of the Edmonton Oilers - and tonight, the home of "Hostile Takeover". They run down the matches that are taking place tonight, before announcing the first match - a Vixen's Battle Royal - to determine the number one contender for the Women's Title. Vixen's Battle Royal Lots of action early on, as each and every Vixen went after the other, vying to put themselves in a position to walk out as the new Number One Contender. Around the 8:20 mark, Gail Kim sent Nikki Bella over the top rope with a clothesline, making Bella the first elimination of the evening. At the 14:25 mark, after taking a horrendous beating at the hands of Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, and Natalya, Daffney was able to eliminate Gail Kim, with a clothesline of her own, as the second elimination of the match. At the 15:19 mark, Velvet and Angelina were double-teaming Daffney, when "The Dark Princess" ducked a clothesline from Velvet, who ended up hitting Angelina - and eliminating her! Velvet pled with Angelina to forgive her, and was unaware that Daffney was behind her. Daffney scooped Velvet up and dropped her over the top rope for the fourth elimination of the night. Velvet stood at ringside, screaming, as the referee demanded that she leave the area. The match came down to Daffney - who had worked her ass off to stay in the match - and Natalya - who had been relatively quiet during the Battle Royal. Exhausted, Daffney had little left to fend off the stronger Vixen, and Natalya connected with a vicious clothesline to send Daffney over the top rope, winning a shot at the Women's Title. Natalya won a 6-Vixen Battle Royal in 0:17:32. Rating: *** � After the match, Natalya stood in the center of the ring, as her home province crowd cheered her victory. She waved to the audience before leaving the ring, and making her way to the backstage area. -- Alisha Hicks is seen with "The War Machine" Rhino, backstage, and asked about his condition heading into tonight's match. Rhino said that the doctors have assured him that he's clear to wrestle, and that there was no way that Peter Bradshaw would keep him from winning back the X-Division title. He said that he had wrestled with worse injuries before joining the HWL, and that winning the title was more important than his own personal well-being. -- Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe, is seen entering the arena. The crowd pops as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels discuss the second meeting between Wolfe and Kane, later tonight. A preview for the up-coming HWL pay-per-view, "Downfall" is shown. The event will take place on Halloween night, live from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. X-Division Title Match Rhino vs. � D'Angelo Dinero The weapons came out very quickly as this match got underway, but they did "The War Machine" very little good, as he was still showing signs from the concussion he received two weeks go. Dinero took advantage of Rhino's condition, slamming the challenger's head into the guardrail before connecting with a flying elbow drop off the apron, for the quick 1-2-3! D'Angelo Dinero pinned Rhino after a flying elbow drop in 0:03:42. Rating: * (D'Angelo Dinero retained the HWL X-Division Title.) After the match, Dinero grabbed his title belt and left ringside, as the referee checked on Rhino's condition. -- Alisha Hicks is seen with Evan Bourne, backstage, and asks for his thoughts heading into his match against Matt Morgan. Bourne says Matt Morgan had stayed quiet over the past couple weeks - after the sneak attack on Anarchy - but, that he hadn't forgotten the pain Morgan put him through after hitting the Hellevator on the stage. Bourne said that nothing Morgan did outside the ring would change the fact that he beat Morgan, in the middle of the ring, three weeks ago. He acknowledged that Morgan was bigger and stronger, but said that he would do anything he could to make sure he came out on top again. -- David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd are seen getting ready for their title defense, when Natalya walked into the dressing room. The crowd popped as the Tag Team Champions greeted the new number one contender for the Women's Title. Smith and Kidd congratulated Natalya on her victory, and said that they could once again be the dominant force in the HWL, if Natalya wins the Women's belt tomorrow night. But, they quickly warned Natalya that it was up to them to make sure they retained the Tag Team titles tonight, or it would be for nothing. They reminded Natalya not to interfere in the match, and said that if they won, there would be a huge celebration downtown. Evan Bourne vs. Matt Morgan For weeks, Matt Morgan had been pushing his weight around when it came to Evan Bourne. Three weeks after begin upset by Bourne on Anarchy, "The Blueprint" sent a message to the high-flyer, attacking him, and connecting with the Hellevator onto the steel stage! This match was soon signed afterward, and Morgan claimed that he would finished Bourne off, once and for all. Tonight, that claim seemed like it was going to come to fruition, but Bourne was able to fight back, and connect with a flying forearm, securing a quick cover, and picking up another upset victory! Evan Bourne pinned Matt Morgan after a flying forearm in 0:13:28. Rating: � A second preview for the up-coming pay-per-view, "Downfall", is shown. The event will take place on Halloween night, live from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. -- Alex Shelley is seen getting ready, backstage, when Randy Orton entered the locker room. Orton said that he had been a little "hard to deal with" for the past couple weeks, but said it was only because he hadn't been a part of a successful tag team in over a year. He said that, the last time he held the HWL Tag Team Titles, they were taken away from him... and, that he didn't want to feel what he felt again. He said that Shelley was part of the longest reigning Tag Team Champions the company had seen, so Orton knew what he was capable of inside the ring, but that there was just something Orton was having a hard time getting over. Orton said that he was having a hard time trusting Shelley, even though he had done nothing to show Orton that he couldn't be trusted. Shelley - fully dressed now - told Orton that there was nothing to be worried about, and that they had some title belts to win. Shelley left the locker room as Orton stared in his direction. -- In a deserted area of the arena, Kane stood in front of the camera with a sadistic smile on his face, and addressed Desmond Wolfe. Kane said that, over the past few weeks, he had seen the fear in Wolfe's eyes; that he could fear the nervousness emitting from Wolfe's soul. Kane said that he felt so much pleasure from watching Wolfe suffer at his hands, that winning the title tonight would mean nothing, if he didn't leave Wolfe lying in a pool of his own blood. Kane said that tonight would be the night that he truly became the HWL's biggest nightmare. He said that, after tonight, there wouldn't be a person in the HWL that could take the Heavyweight Title away from him. He then laughed, manically, as the camera faded to black. HWL Tag Team Title Match Randy Orton/Alex Shelley vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) The Hart Dynasty has been on quite a winning streak as of late, except for the loss to Orton and Shelley two weeks ago on Anarchy, but tonight they were set to correct that mistake - in their eyes - and walk away from Edmonton as the Tag Team Champions. The match got off to an interesting start as JIMMY and JEY USO made their way down to ringside, and spend a majority of the match watching from the bottom of the stage. Inside the ring, all four men battled it out, hoping to leave the ring as champions. Orton and Shelley nearly got assistance as Natalya got involved in the match, tripping Orton, but the referee only warned Natalya - which got a mixed reaction from the crowd. However, it appeared that The Usos were on the side of the challengers, as Jey Uso tossed the ring bell into the ring, but it was picked up by Tyson Kidd - behind the referee's back - and The Hart Dynasty picked up the 1-2-3. The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) defeated Randy Orton & Alex Shelley when T. Kidd pinned A. Shelley after hitting him with the ring bell in 0:16:45. Rating: *** � (The Hart Dynasty retained the HWL Tag Team Titles.) After the match, David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd stare at The Usos as the crowd goes crazy! Inside the ring, Randy Orton grabs Shelley, and pulls him out of the ring. -- Alisha Hicks is seen, backstage, with Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe. She asked for a comment after Wolfe heard what Kane had to say just moments beforehand. Wolfe said that the only fear Kane sees, is the fear in his own eyes, when he looks at himself in the mirror. Wolfe said that Kane is the one that is nervous about tonight, claiming that all the attacks over the past few weeks were nothing but Kane trying to prove his dominance in the ring. Wolfe said that he isn't afraid of anyone the HWL, and he's certainly not afraid of someone he's already beaten for the Heavyweight Title before. A final preview for the up-coming pay-per-view event, "Downfall", is shown. The event will be take place Halloween night, live from the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. HWL Heavyweight Title Match � Desmond Wolfe vs. Kane This was the match everyone had been waiting for, and it certainly didn't disappoint! The feud between these two had heated up over the past few weeks, and tonight they laid it all on the line. Wolfe and Kane battled all over the ringside area, where at one point, Kane nearly got himself counted out after struggling to get the advantage over the Heavyweight Champion. But, Kane had his way with the Champion for most of the match. However, one various occasions, he was unable to put Wolfe away after the Choke Slam from Hell. Wolfe fought back, but Kane's rage and anger over not being up to pin him became too much for "The Big Red Monster", and Kane hoisted Wolfe up with a choke lift - in the center of the ring - and the referee disqualified him! Desmond Wolfe defeated Kane by disqualification in 0:23:06. Rating: � (Desmond Wolfe retained the HWL Heavyweight Title.) After the match, the referee tried to pry Kane away from Wolfe, eventually forcing Kane to drop him to the canvas. Kane then pushes the referee to the outside of the ring, before picking Wolfe up and connecting with yet another Choke Slam from Hell! He stands over Wolfe as the crowd boos in disapproval. Card Rating: * [hr] HWL News Line After tonight's "Hostile Takeover" event, it was announced backstage, that HWL Vixen, Nikki Bella, would be leaving the company. The HWL wishes Bella the best in her future endeavors.
wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 23:23:32 Monday Night Anarchy September 27, 2010 Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Attendance: 11,957) A slide show of still photos from "Hostile Takeover" are shown. Fireworks fill the arena as Josh Daniels and Scott Michalels welcome everyone to Calgary. It is announced, that tonight, Sarita will defend the Women's Title against Natalya - who won the right to challenge for the title, after winning a Battle Royal, last night. Alex Shelley and Randy Orton make their way out to the ring, as the crowd cheers them on. Inside the ring, Orton grabs a microphone and says that "last night was our chance to become the best team in the HWL." But, he says, that chance was taken away by two people who have no business getting involved in the Tag Team Title picture. Orton says that he isn't going to waste any time, and calls out The Usos. The Usos make their way to the ring, and stand eye-to-eye with Shelley and Orton. Orton says he wants to know what was going through their minds when they came out to the ring last night. Jimmy Uso says that he and Jey have been sitting at the bottom of the Tag Team Division ever since they arrived in the HWL, and that last night, they decided that they had had enough, and wanted to take matters into their own hands. He says that, they want a chance to prove they are capable of winning the titles, and he issues a challenge to Shelley and Orton, for a #1 Contenders Match, later tonight... Before the challenge can be accepted, The British Invasion make their way to the ring, and stand to the side of both teams already in the ring. Brutus Magnus grabs a microphone and says that if there's one team that deserves a title shot, its them. Magnus says that the Usos haven't proven anything to anyone since joining the HWL, and he and Rob Terry beat them the last time they were in the ring together. And, he said, that Shelley and Orton lost their match last night; automatically taking them out of the picture. This brings out HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw, who stands on the stage and says that he - and the crowd - are sick and tired of hearing the six of them complain about who should be #1 Contenders. Bradshaw says, if they want to prove who deserves a shot, then they'll have to do it in the ring... tonight! Bradshaw then says that there will be a Triple Threat Match to determine who will face The Hart Dynasty at Downfall. The crowd goes crazy as Bradshaw leaves the ring, leaving all six men staring at each other. Commercial Break HWL Women's Title Match Natalya vs. � Sarita The crowd was definitely behind their hometown favorite tonight, as Natalya had a chance to regain the Women's Championship. After winning a Battle Royal, last night at "Hostile Takeover", Natalya wasn't going to let her chance go to waste. Natalya came out of strong tonight, locking in both an airplane spin and the Sharpshooter, wearing down the Champion. Sarita fought back, but after taking the brunt of those two submission moves early in the match, it wasn't enough to make an impact. Natalya put away Sarita with a release German suplex for the 1-2-3, to win the Women's Title. Natalya defeated Sarita after a release German suplex in 0:07:32. Rating: *** � (Natalya won the HWL Women's Title.) After the match, Natalya is handed the Women's Title as the crowd celebrates with her. David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd join Natalya in the ring, as all three of them celebrate before heading to the backstage area. Commercial Break Backstage, Velvet Sky is seen walking through the hallway, when she is approached by Angelina Love. Love says that last night didn't go exactly as planned, as they had both been talking about getting their shot at the Women's Title. Velvet agrees, and says that they'll get their chances sooner or later. Angelina cuts of Velvet and says that Velvet cost her a chance at the Women's title last night, when Velvet clotheslined her out of the ring during the Battle Royal. Velvet apologies, saying that it was nothing but an accident, and that she didn't mean to do it. But, Angelina says that Velvet is starting to show her true colors, and that they will have to see who gets to challenge for the title first. Angelina then pushes by Velvet and walks away as Velvet looks on in shock. Ted DiBiase vs. Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) Another hometown favorite was in action tonight, as Tyson Kidd stepped into the ring with Ted DiBiase. These two have had a lot of history as of late, after battling for the Tag Team Titles, and they started where they left off tonight. Kidd came down to the ring with newly crowned Women's Champion, Natalya, who made her presence known early in the match, tripping DiBiase, to give Kidd the advantage. However, after being admonished by the referee, Natalya stayed quiet for the rest of the match. Inside the ring, DiBiase and Kidd appeared to be very evenly matched as neither one of them could contain the advantage for long stretches. However, DiBiase was able to connect with a thunderous clothesline, that stunned Kidd long enough for DiBiase to pick up the 1-2-3. Ted DiBiase defeated Tyson Kidd via pinfall in 0:19:08. Rating: *** DiBiase left the ring and celebrated his victory as he made his way up the ramp. Kidd slowly rolled out of the ring, and was helped to the back by Natalya as the crowd applauded his efforts. Commercial Break HWL Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe, comes out to the ring, with the title draped over his shoulder. He says that last night was a good night in terms of walking away with the Heavyweight Title still in his possession, but he says that the night didn't end the way he wanted it to. Wolfe says that he would've expected more from Kane last night, especially knowing that the Heavyweight Title was on the line. Wolfe says that Kane was so determined to make him feel pain, that during the match, he lost all concept of what he was really fighting for. Wolfe says that yes, Kane did leave him lying on the canvas at "Hostile Takeover", but Wolfe is the one standing in the center of the ring with the title tonight. The lights in the arena suddenly go out, as fire shoots from the stage, and Kane makes his way out to the ring. Kaneand Wolfe have a stare-down in the center of the ring; the anticipation brewing in the crowd. Wolfe says that there's nothing Kane can do - or say - that will change the fact that he screwed himself out of the Heavyweight Title last night. Kane stood quietly, in the center of the ring, as Wolfe continued to give Kane reasons as to why he wouldn't win the Heavyweight Title. Wolfe says that the first time, he just couldn't get the job done, before Wolfe was better prepared - having faced better competition during the inaugural tournament. And, last night, Wolfe says that Kane noticed he couldn't put the champion away, and it started eating at "The Big Red Monster". Wolfe says that Kane's only problem is that he wants to maim people, and doesn't really care about the Heavyweight Title. And, because of that, Wolfe says, that Kane will always be "second" in the Horizon Wrestling League. Wolfe then turns around, and is met with Kane's hand around his throat! Kane lifts Wolfe into the air, but Montel Vontavious Porter's music begins playing, causing Kane to drop Wolfe to the canvas. MVP makes his way to the ring, and gets into Kane's face, as the two of them begin to share words. Wolfe rolls outs of the ring, clutching his throat as MVP grabs a microphone. He says that Kane stole away MVP's right to challenge for the Heavyweight Title... and then threw it away because he couldn't get the job done. MVP says that he's seen Kane do a lot of things over the years, but the one thing he's never been good at is making good on championship promises. MVP says that its his time to fight for the Heavyweight Title, and if he has to go through Kane to get it, then he'll end his career if he has to! For the second time in the evening, HWL Owner, Peter Bradshaw appeared on-stage. He says that he's in a giving mood tonight, and says that if Kane and MVP feel they both deserve title shots against Desmond Wolfe, then they will have to prove it... later tonight, in a #1 Contenders Match! Bradshaw walks off-stage, as MVP and Kane stare at each other, while outside the ring, Desmond Wolfe composes himself. Commercial Break #1 Contenders Match The Usos (w/Tamina) vs. The British Invasion vs. Randy Orton/Alex Shelley All three of these teams put their bodies on the line in this match; all for the chance to face The Hart Dynasty for the Tag Team Titles at "Downfall" next month. Orton and Shelley came in as the clear-cut favorites to win the match, but that just put added pressure on them to come out victorious. However, that was not the case as Randy Orton was blindsided by a vicious chairshot by Tamina on the outside of the ring! The Usos took quick advantage of Orton's state, as Jey Uso connected with the Superfly Splash to pick up the first elimination. Then, it came down to the two teams that have begun to know each other very well over the past few weeks, and the battle between them was very intense. But, with the multiple times the referee had been knocked to the canvas during this match, there was very little room for error for either team. But, that thought escaped Jimmy Uso's mind, as he threw the referee outside of the ring after what he thought was a slow count. After pulling himself to his feet, the referee called for the bell, and gave the Tag Team Title shot to The British Invasion! The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) defeated The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) and Randy Orton & Alex Shelley: x Jey beat R. Orton via the Superfly Splash in 0:30:55. x R. Terry beat Jimmy via disqualification in 0:35:08. Rating: ** � After the match, Rob Terry and Jimmy Uso continued to brawl inside the ring. Jey Uso and Brutus Magnus entered the ring, and joined the fight, as the referee tried to break it up. HWL officials rushed down to the ring and separated the four men as the crowd continued cheering. Commercial Break A preview for tomorrow night's "Tuesday Night Rampage" is shown, announcing the second round of the Heavyweight Title tournament. Also, the Fatal Four Way match to crown the new PCW Tag Team Champions. Steve Corino vs. Matt Morgan Tonight was Matt Morgan's chance at redemption, after coming up short against Evan Bourne last night at "Hostile Takeover". He stepped into the ring with a similarly sized opponent in Steve Corino, but the Manitoba native proved to be a little bit more than Morgan could handle. Corino showed a darker side of himself tonight, opening up a gash above Morgan's eye, after slamming "the Blueprint" into the steel ring steps. Dazed and confused, Morgan fell victim to Corino's Sliding Lariat for the 1-2-3. Steve Corino pinned Matt Morgan with the Sliding Lariat in 0:08:39. Rating: *** After the match, Steve Corino quickly left the ring, celebrating his victory as the crowd met him with a mixed reaction. Inside the ring, Morgan slowly got to his feet and stared at the stage as Corino walked backstage. Commercial Break #1 Contenders Match Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Kane During a night of opportunities in the HWL, "The Big Red Monster" Kane and MVP battled it out to see who would move on to "Downfall" to face Desmond Wolfe for the Heavyweight Title. MVP came out swinging, giving everything he could to his larger opponent, and nearly put Kane down on multiple occasions. However, Kane's power and strength were too much for Porter, as Kane connected with the Choke Slam From Hell to secure a victory, and another shot at Desmond Wolfe on October 31st! Kane defeated Montel Vontavious Porter with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:14:20. Rating: *** After the match, Kane stood over MVP, in the center of the ring, as flames burst from the ring posts. As the smoke cleared, and the lights came back on, Kane locked eyes with Desmond Wolfe, who was standing on the stage, applauding Kane's victory. The show went off the air as Kane and Wolfe stared at each other from across the arena.

Fireworks explode inside the arena, as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Monday Night Anarchy, back in the United States, just 27 days away from "Downfall". They announce, that tonight, The Usos will take on The Hart Dynasty in a non-title match; and that Desmond Wolfe will be in action, taking on Montel Vontavious Porter in tonight's main event. WOLFE CONGRATULATES KANE Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe, came out to the ring and grabbed a microphone. Wolfe said that he wasn't out to keep talking about his history with Kane, or that that in their previous two meetings Wolfe had gone two-and-oh. Wolfe said that he wanted to call Kane out to the ring to show that he was the bigger man. Once Kane came out to the ring, Wolfe reminded everyone in Spokane of what Kane was able to do inside a wrestling ring. Wolfe said that, on multiple occasions, he had been sent through tables, and felt the Choke Slam From Hell. But, Wolfe said that Kane always seemed to come up short when it really mattered. Turning to look at Kane, Wolfe told Kane that he had one more shot at the Heavyweight Title - at "Downfall" - and to make sure he didn't screw it up. Wolfe turned to leave the ring, as Kane stared in his direction. Commercial Break Daffney vs. Velvet Sky The action started off tonight with a match between two "Vixens" that have grown to know one another very well inside the ring. Velvet Sky was looking to further herself up the championship contendership ladder, proving that she is the better of the The Beautiful People, where as Daffney was trying to not only stop Velvet's progress, but to start her own trail to the Women's Title. But, on this night, Velvet's Beauty Mark was too much for the "Dark Princess", as Sky picked up the 1-2-3. After the match, Angelina Love was seen on-stage, applauding the victory, as Velvet made her way up the ramp. The two "Vixens" stared at each other before Velvet continued through the curtains. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels speculated as to how the situation was going to end... Velvet Sky pinned Daffney with the Beauty Mark in 0:11:11. Rating: ** � Commercial Break RANDY ORTON ISSUES CHALLENGE Backstage, Jimmy and Jey Uso - and Tamina - were seen laughing. Jey Uso asked if either of them saw the look on Randy Orton's face after they were eliminated from the Triple Threat Match last night. The three laughed again, under Orton appeared behind them. Orton asked if they really thought it was funny, because The Usos weren't getting a tag team title match at "Downfall" either. Orton said that, since neither team were getting a tag team title match, there shouldn't be any reason why they Orton and Alex Shelley don't smack the smiles of The Uso's faces at "Downfall". Jimmy and Jey agreed, before attacking Orton, and leaving him on the ground, riving in pain. Steve Corino vs. CM Punk Steve Corino came into this match, looking to further his winning ways, after picking up a huge victory over Matt Morgan last week. He stepped into the ring with Punk, who hadn't seen much ring time in the past month, and it showed. Punk had trouble staging any sort of offense, and Corino took advantage of Punk's mistakes at every turn. At the end of the match, Punk had Corino reeling outside the ring, and attempted a baseball slide that Corino was able to move out of the way of. Punk hit the concrete hard, and Corino rolled under the bottom rope as the referee finished the 10-count. After the match, Steve Corino stared down at Punk - on the outside of the ring - as "Anarchy" went to commercials. Steve Corino defeated CM Punk by countout in 0:07:04. Rating: * � Commercial Break CHAMPIONSHIP CONFRONTATION "Woooo!" Ric Flair, AJ Styles, Mr. Anderson, and Chelsea made their way down to the ring as "Anarchy" returned. The crowd booed as Anderson grabbed a microphone and looked to his friends for support. After some encouragement, Anderson said that he had spent a lot of time in the back, away from the ring, thinking about the way his career had gone over the past few months. Anderson said that he hadn't accomplished things that he thought he could, and that now things were going to be different. Anderson said that he had been getting some guidance from the former Heavyweight Champions he calls "friends", and that they both told him that he needed to take things he wanted, instead of waiting for the opportunity to come to him. Anderson said that was exactly why he was in the ring, and said that it was time to prove himself worthy again of holding a title in the HWL. Anderson called out X-Division Champion, D'Angelo Dinero before challenging him to a match at "Downfall". Dinero came down to the ring, and told Anderson that he's crazy; that he wasn't more special than the others who had to work for their shots at his title. Dinero said the only way he'd take Anderson's challenge seriously, is if Anderson could prove himself worthy in the ring. Dinero left the ring as Ric Flair and AJ Styles surrounded Anderson, and "Anarchy" went to commercials. Commercial Break Non-Title Match The Usos (w/Tamina) vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) A week after coming so close to challenging for the Tag Team Titles at Downfall, The Usos got their chance to go two-on-two with the Tag Team Champions tonight. The match got off to an interesting start, when both Tamina and Natalya jumped onto the apron in support of their respective teams. Once they were cleared away from ringside, The Usos showed that, after learning the ropes in the HWL, they were quite qualified to hang with the champs. But, The Hart Dynasty have held the titles for a while now, and they showed that their tenacity can get them through nearly anything, as they fought back to hit the Springboard Hart Attack to pick up the victory. The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) defeated The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) when T. Kidd pinned Jey after the springboard Hart Attack in 0:17:34. Rating: *** Commercial Break A preview for Tuesday Night Rampage is shown, announcing that the Heavyweight and Tag Team Titles will be on the line, in special stipulation matches, live tomorrow night! Yoshi Tatsu vs. Mr. Anderson These two names wouldn't have come up in the same conversation, when talking about athletes wanting to prove themselves, but that's exactly the position Tatsu and Anderson have found themselves in over the past few weeks. Yoshi has been struggling with his aggression inside the ring, and wanting to no longer depend on Kaz's assistance. And, tonight, Mr. Anderson made his first apperance on Anarchy in nearly a month, wanting to prove himself a worthy contender for the X-Division Title. Tonight, though, Anderson got help from Yoshi, who finally let all the pressure get to him, as he attacked the referee, getting himself disqualified, and awarding the match to Anderson. After the match, Anderson caught Yoshi by surprise, and connected with the Mic Check before leaving the ring. Mr. Anderson defeated Yoshi Tatsu by disqualification in 0:12:28. Rating: ** � Commercial Break Non-Title Match Montel Vontavious Porter vs. � Desmond Wolfe The night started off and ended in familiar fashion for the Heavyweight Champion tonight, as Desmond Wolfe confronted Kane - who he knows all too well - and stepped into the ring with Porter, who Wolfe has shared many battles with over the past few months. These two know each other very well inside the ring, and they showed it tonight, with back-and-forth action and numerous counters; neither of them allowed their opponent to connect with their respective finishers! Wolfe picked up the victory after hitting Porter with an errant elbow, right in the temple, that stunned Porter long enough for the Champ to pick up the win. After the match, the lights in the arena went out, and when they returned, Kane stood over Wolfe's prone body in the center of the ring! Desmond Wolfe defeated Montel Vontavious Porter via pinfall in 0:11:58.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/07/11 at 23:26:25 Monday Night Anarchy October 11, 2010 Stan Sheriff Center - Honolulu, Hawaii (Attendance: 4,326) -- The final moments from last week's main event are shown as Anarchy comes on the air. Inside the arena, fireworks go off from the stage as Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to the island of Hawaii, for the first-ever edition of Anarchy from the state. They announce that, tonight, after getting attacked by the "Big Red Monster" Kane last week, the Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe, will be in non-title action against Ted DiBiase. STATEMENT FROM "THE POPE" "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero came out to the ring, wearing the X-Division Title around his waist, and grabbed a microphone as he stepped into the ring. Dinero said that he had spent the last week, trying to wipe the smile off his face, after what took place last week. He said that he couldn't sleep at night, because he spent so much time laughing at the fact that Mr. Anderson came out and demanded a title shot against him at Downfall, only to win because Yoshi Tatsu couldn't keep his emotions in check. Dinero said that he told Anderson last week, that Anderson hadn't done enough to impress Dinero, and that after last week, Anderson did nothing to help his cause. Dinero said that Anderson would have to do a lot of hard work to even get himself considered for a title match at Downfall. Dinero dropped the microphone, and left the ring, and started to make his way up the ramp when Mr. Anderson jumped out from the crowd, and attacked Dinero from behind! Anderson slammed Dinero into the Jumbotron, before connecting with the Mic Check on the steel stage! Anderson knelt down beside Dinero and asked if the champion was impressed now... Commercial Break Angelina Love vs. Sarita Two weeks after losing the Women's Title, Sarita stepped back into the ring tonight, taking on Angelina Love, who herself, was looking to make a statement. Angelina started off strong, but during the course of the match, Sarita became distracted as Natalya - the new Women's Champion - made her way to the ring, and interfered. After being scolded by the referee, Natalya watched from ringside, as Angelina Love took advantage of the distraction to connect with a flying cross body press to pick up the victory! After the match, Natalya entered the ring and connected with a DDT as Angelina rolled under the bottom rope. Inside the ring, Natalya locked on the Sharpshooter, as Angelina made her way up the ramp, only to be stopped by the sight of Velvet Sky applauding Love's victory tonight - a response to the confrontation a week ago between the two. Angelina tried to slap Velvet, only to have the move blocked, as Velvet connected with a slap of her own! Angelina Love pinned Sarita after a flying cross body press in 0:08:59. Rating: *** � [Natalya interfered against Sarita.] Commercial Break KAZ LIKES YOSHI'S ATTITUDE Yoshi Tatsu was seen walking through the backstage area, still fuming from his match last week, when he is approached by Kaz. Kaz said that he had spent all day looking for Tatsu, because he had something to get of his chest. Kaz said that, what he saw last week, was exactly what he wanted to see from Yoshi all along. Kaz said that the only thing Yoshi needs to make sure of, is to tone it down, so that he doesn't get himself disqualified more often. Yoshi told Kaz that he's been trying to teach Yoshi the "right way" to get things done inside the ring, but none of them have been successful. Yoshi said that he hadn't felt this good since they started teaming up, and that he might continue the aggressive streak; and maybe it will lead them to a Tag Team Championship reign. Yoshi walked away as Kaz stared in his direction... David Hart Smith (w/Natayla) vs. Yoshi Tatsu After getting praised by his tag team partner - Kaz - Yoshi Tatsu came down to the ring, hoping to keep his aggressive attitude in the ring, and pick up a much needed victory. Tonight, though, he ran into the brick wall called David Hart Smith. Yoshi didn't seem too worried about the size and strength advantage held by Smith, and that reckless attitude led Yoshi into a power slam, giving Smith a quick 1-2-3. David Hart Smith pinned Yoshi Tatsu with a power slam in 0:01:20. Rating: ** Commercial Break KANE MAKES A PROMISE "The Big Red Monster" Kane came out to the ring as Anarchy returned from commercials. Kane got into the ring, and said that he has always hated having his attitude - in big moment situations - questioned. He said that those questions have followed him since his first days in the business. "Would he be like his brother?" "Will he ever be the man at the top of the business?" Kane said that he had been the man on the top of the mountain, looking down at all the beggars, wanting a shot at him and the Heavyweight Title. He said that, over the past few months, he had begun to wonder if he still had what it took to come out and be the monster he had been all those years ago; he wondered if he could still bring fear to the hearts of those that stood across from him in the ring. Kane said, that after his first match with Desmond Wolfe, back at Rebellion, he seriously began to doubt himself. Kane said that he doubted whether or not he could ever become the top man in the HWL, like he had been in the WWE. He said that all he needed was a little push; a little motivation to see that he still had what it took to carry gold over his shoulder. Kane said he waited for months for that motivation to take place, and that he finally found that motivation when he earned the right to face Desmond Wolfe at Hostile Takeover. Kane admitted that he had let his emotions get the better of him, because he wanted to end Wolfe's career more then he wanted to win the Heavyweight Title. But, Kane said, that this time, things were going to be totally different. Kane said that he would be coming into their match at Downfall with a new mentality; one that wasn't worried about whether or not Wolfe walked away from the match, but rather Wolfe would be leaving the ring as the Heavyweight Champion. Kane said that he has never been more focused on winning a title in his career, and he promises that after Downfall, no one in the Horizon Wrestling League will question him again. Commercial Break The British Invasion vs. Randy Orton/Alex Shelley Last week was a bad night for "The Viper", as he issued a challenge to the Usos - for a match at Downfall - only to have The Usos attack Orton backstage. Tonight, Orton and Alex Shelley stepped into the ring against the team that came out victorious two weeks ago, earning themselves a shot at the Tag Team Titles at the pay-per-view. However, it was another bad night for Orton as two RKO attempts were reversed into backslides, and a DDT attempt was countered into a roll-up, that gave The British Invasion the victory! After the match, The Usos ran down the ramp and quickly attacked Alex Shelley, throwing him into the ring steps, and leaving him laying on the concrete as they escaped through the crowd. The British Invasion (Brutus Magnus & Rob Terry) defeated Randy Orton & Alex Shelley when Magnus pinned R. Orton after a small package in 0:18:58. Rating: *** Commercial Break A preview for next week's episode of Anarchy announces the first-ever visit by the Horizon Wrestling League to the country of Japan. Non-Title Match � D'Angelo Dinero vs. Kane Kane came out to the ring earlier in the evening, and made a strong case, that he would not be taken lightly any longer by the fans or the other athletes in the HWL locker room. Tonight, he stepped into the ring with the X-Division Champion, as a prelude his title match in a couple weeks at Downfall. D'Angelo Dinero, however, has never been known to back down from a challenge, and tonight he gave Kane all the fight he could muster. Kane ended up being too much for the champion to handle, and picked up the victory after a monstrous Choke Slam From Hell. Kane pinned D'Angelo Dinero with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:07:56. Rating: *** � Commercial Break Non-Title Match Ted DiBiase vs. � Desmond Wolfe Ted DiBiase had a huge opportunity in front of him tonight, as he took on the Heavyweight Champion in tonight's main event. However, he never got the chance to show what he could do against the champion as "The Big Red Monster" Kane made his way down to ringside, wielding a steel chair in hand. Kane connected with a vicious shot to Wolfe's back; the referee had no choice but to call for the bell. DiBiase stood in the corner as Kane entered the ring, and continued to assault the Heavyweight Champion. Kane picked up Wolfe and connected with a Tombstone piledriver in the center of the ring. Kane stood over Wolfe's prone body as flames shot out from the ring posts. DiBiase rolled out of the ring and stared at Kane as Anarchy went off the air. Desmond Wolfe defeated Ted DiBiase by disqualification in 0:00:28.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/20/11 at 16:00:19 Monday Night Anarchy October 18, 2010 Tokyo Dome - Tokyo, Japan (Attendance: 44,232) A video recap plays, showing highlights from last week's episode: Women's Champion, Natayla's post-match attack on Sarita; Kane's victory over X-Division Champion D'Angelo Dinero; and Kane's interference - and post-match attack - on Heavyweight Champion Desmond Wolfe. The highlights end with Kane standing over Wolfe, in the center of the ring, as fire shoots from the ring posts. -- "Headstrong" by Trapt plays as fireworks explode inside the Tokyo Dome, and the camera pans the audience, where some fans are standing and making a commotion, and others are sitting silently in their seats. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to 'The Land of the Raising Sun", for the HWL's first-ever event in Japan. It is announced that tonight, after the events that took place last week, Ted DiBiase will get his chance at redemption as he steps into the ring with "The Big Red Monster" Kane! Also, Yoshi Tatsu and Kaz will take on The Hart Dynasty in a non-title match, just 13 days before the titles are put on the line against The British Invasion at Downfall.. -- Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe started off the show, coming out to the ring in a noticeable amount of pain. He entered the ring and grabbed a microphone as the crowd cheered him on. Wolfe said that, since last week, he had done a lot of thinking, and had spent a lot of time trying to clear some things from his mind, but that there was just one thing that he couldn't clear out; something that just kept coming back to him... and, that was the thought that he couldn't go anywhere without looking behind his back. Wolfe said that he had been in the wrestling business for a long time. And, that during that time, he had never once been known to fear anything... or anyone. Wolfe said that he has been the most dominating champion the HWL has ever seen, and that he has never had his confidence questioned until the events that happened two weeks ago. Wolfe said those question became even more present, last week, after Kane choke slammed him in the center of the ring. (Crowd boos) Wolfe said that, based on his actions over the past couple weeks, Kane seemed to have meant what he said about being taken more seriously heading into the main event at Downfall. He said that he hadn't taken Kane very seriously in their last meetings because Wolfe had been successful against Kane since the arrived in the company. Wolfe said that Kane may be serious about being taken as a real threat for the Heavyweight Title; and that Wolfe's confidence may be in question; but, Wolfe says, that there is nothing Kane can do to keep him from retaining the Heavyweight Title at Downfall. Wolfe left the ring as the crowd cheered him. Commercial Break Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky After Anarchy went off the air last week, it was announced that Velvet Sky would be facing off against her former friend, and tag team partner, Angelina Love, at Downfall. Tonight, Velvet stepped into the ring with Gail Kim, who was hoping to stop Velvet's momentum, and get a little for herself. Kim fought off Velvet, as she came out looking to continue where she left off last week - after slapping Angelina Love in redemption - but Love wouldn't let Velvet have the satisfaction of victory tonight. Love came down to ringside, distracting Velvet, and allowing Gail Kim to hit a spine buster slam and pick up the victory. Gail Kim pinned Velvet Sky after a spine buster slam in 0:09:48. Rating: * � Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with The British Invasion - the number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles. Brutus Magnus started off by saying that, two months ago, he and Rob Terry found themselves in the very same position they are now: hoping to dethrone The Hart Dynasty, and take away their Tag Team titles. Magnus admitted that he and Terry had spent most of their time trying to get into the heads of Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith, and that their attempts failed miserably. Magnus agreed to what David Hart Smith had said the night after Unbreakable - that The Hart Dynasty did indeed "shut them up". But, Magnus said, that he has noticed something over the past few weeks; and that is the fact that Kidd and Smith have beaten every single team in the HWL... and that, there's very little chance that they can keep up their success as each team learns their tendencies inside the ring. Magnus said that he and "Big Rob" were going to be the first team to test that, in just under two weeks, at Downfall. Magnus said that he and Rob couldn't be more ready for their rematch - for the titles - and that on Halloween night, the world will pay witness to The Hart Dynasty's downfall... Evan Bourne vs. Randy Orton -- unfortunately, there was an error when I tried to restart the program, and this match was cancelled. -- Commercial Break -- Returning back from the break, "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero made his way out to the ring, wearing the X-Division Title around his waist. He walked around the ring, in noticeable pain, from the post-match attack by Kane last week. Dinero grabbed the microphone, and said that last week wasn't one of the best weeks he's had, but that getting attacked twice in one night wasn't going to keep him from being in the arena tonight, getting cheers from the crowd. Dinero said that it was very clear that he was the un-expecting victim of two men wanting to prove themselves last week. Dinero said that Kane was trying to get into Desmond Wolfe's head heading into Downfall; and that Mr. Anderson was hoping to do the same thing. Dinero said that, over the past couple weeks, he's given Anderson plenty of chances to prove that he was worthy of getting an X-Division Title match at Downfall; but that the only thing he managed to do was piss Dinero off. And, on that alone, Dinero says, Mr. Anderson will be given his chance in two weeks, at Downfall. Dinero said that, after Downfall, he - and the rest of the HWL - don't want to hear Mr. Anderson ever again! Commercial Break Non-Title Match Yoshi Tatsu/Kaz vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) Tonight was not the night The Hart Dynasty was looking forward to having, as they get closer to their title defense at Downfall. They were hoping to pick up another victory on their way to the pay-per-view, but things appeared to finally click for Tatsu and Kaz, making things more difficult for the Tag Team Champions. Kaz and Tatsu - who's tenacity showed up again tonight - worked perfectly as a team, something they had been longing to do for some time, and kept the champions off guard all night long. Kaz put Kidd away with the Wave of the Future, for the huge upset, and put quite the bump in Champions' road to Downfall. Kaz & Yoshi Tatsu defeated The Hart Dynasty (David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd) when Kaz pinned T. Kidd after the Wave of the Future in 0:15:35. Rating: ** � Commercial Break -- Returning from the break, Alisha Hicks is seen backstage with Peter Bradshaw, who announces that next week, there will be a Vixens Tag Team Match: Sarita and Velvet Sky will take on Angelina Love and Women's Champion, Natalya. Matt Morgan vs. Mr. Anderson (w/Ric Flair & Chelsea) Mr. Anderson was determined to finally prove something to "The Pope" inside the ring, but tonight wasn't the night for the challenger for the X-Division Title. Steve Corino surprised everyone - including Anderson and Morgan - when he made his presence know at ringside. He pulled down the top rope, allowing Morgan to fall to the concrete below, before attacking "The Blueprint" as the fans suddenly saw a darker side of the former PCW Tag Team Champion. As the referee called for the bell, and focused his attention outside the ring, D'Angelo Dinero ran into the ring and connected with vicious lefts and rights on Mr. Anderson! Dinero whipped Anderson into the turnbuckle, and quickly followed up with the DDE, before standing over Anderson and watching the brawl at ringside. Matt Morgan defeated Mr. Anderson by disqualification in 0:01:05. Rating: * [Steve Corino interfered against Matt Morgan.] Commercial Break Ted DiBiase vs. Kane Ted DiBiase was looking for a little slice of revenge tonight, as he stepped into the ring with the "The Big Red Monster" Kane. After having his chance at facing the Heavyweight Champion taken away by Kane's interference, DiBiase was hoping to prove that he could fight his own battles, and that he no longer needed the departed Cody Rhodes by his side. DiBiase put up a valiant effort tonight, lasting longer than most people would've expected; but still, he was no match for his opponent's power, as Kane hit the Choke Slam From Hell for the 1-2-3. Kane pinned Ted DiBiase with the Choke Slam From Hell in 0:12:50.

wicked_rex	Posted on 05/23/11 at 04:26:16 Monday Night Anarchy October 25, 2010 TIO Stadium - Darwin, Australia (Attendance: 12,150) -- "Headstrong" by Trapt plays as fireworks explode around the perimeter of the open-air TIO Stadium, and the cameras - located on the grass - pan around the stadium as the crowd cheers wildly. The ring is placed in the middle of the field, and multiple screens are located around the ring area, broadcasting the events to the stands. Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Darwin, and the first-ever HWL event to take place outside of an indoor venue. They announce that in just six days, Downfall will take place in Sydney, and they question what will happen tonight. They also announce the Vixens Tag Match between the teams of Sarita and Velvet Sky against Angelina Love and the Women's Champion, Natalya. Also tonight, in a return match from last week, Evan Bourne will face "The Viper" Randy Orton. -- "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan interrupts the show opening, and comes out to the ring with a microphone in hand. Morgan says that he's been put on the back burner for a while now, and that he's had time to think things over. He says that it has taken some time, but he comes to terms with the fact that he may not be able to get his third - and decisive - match against Kurt Angle. Morgan says that, while Angle is over in PCW, losing the Heavyweight Title to new-comer, Morgan has been sitting on his backside, waiting for the right opportunity; and he says that opportunity came at the hands of Steve Corino. Morgan wonders what was going through Corino's mind last week, when he came out and attacked Morgan from behind: was it that Corino was on his last day, and wanted to try to leave a mark before he walked out the door? Morgan says that he knows Corino's not in Darwin tonight, but back home in Winnipeg, counting his blessings. Morgan says, that if Corino is anything close to a man, he will be at Downfall, and will face Morgan in a match-up one on one. If not, Morgan says, then the HWL is going to be his own person playground, because he's tired of not getting the chances to prove himself... ... this brings out Peter Bradshaw, who stands on-stage, with a microphone of his own. He says he understands how Morgan is feeling, and that he feels just as upset about not seeing the finale in the Angle series, too. And, Bradshaw says that he was just as shocked by the actions of Steve Corino last week as anyone else in the back. But, Bradshaw says that there's nothing he can do about either of those situations, because neither Angle or Corino are currently under HWL contracts. Bradshaw says it'll be up to Corino if he's at Downfall on Sunday, but that he won't allow Morgan to just run roughshod over the backstage area because he didn't get his way. Bradshaw repeats that Morgan wants a chance to prove himself, before saying that tonight he'll get his chance to do just that. Bradshaw then signs a match for tonight's main event: a non-title match between Matt Morgan and the Heavyweight Champion, Desmond Wolfe. Commercial Break Tyson Kidd (w/Natalya) vs. Kyle O'Reilly Kyle O'Reilly made his debut tonight, coming over after a short stint with the Ring of Honor promotion, and quickly made an impact, taking the fight to one-half of the Tag Team Champions. Tyson Kidd seemed taken off-guard by O'Reilly's offense, and was nearly counted out as he tried to walk away from the ring. But, after some advice from Natalya, Kidd returned to the ring, and continued the match. Soon after that, the referee was knocked down moments before O'Reilly went for the pinfall. Natalya entered the ring connected with a chair shot to O'Reilly's back. Kidd rolled O'Reilly over and hit the Springboard Elbowdrop to pick up the tainted victory. Tyson Kidd pinned Kyle O'Reilly with the Springboard Elbowdrop in 0:11:02. Rating: *** [Natalya interfered against Kyle O'Reilly.] Commercial Break -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with "The Big Red Monster" Kane. Alisha asks for Kane's response to Desmond Wolfe's speech last week, and Kane says that Wolfe can scream at the top of his lungs that he will beat Kane at Downfall on Sunday night. But, the fact remains that he was able to do the one thing no one has yet to do: he got inside Desmond Wolfe's head. Kane says that Wolfe, himself, even admitted to looking over his shoulder from time to time. Kane agrees that Wolfe has been the most dominant champion that the HWL has seen, but that he was the one to find Wolfe's true weakness. Kane says he plans on taking full advantage of that weakness on Sunday night... and will become the new Heavyweight Champion. Ted DiBiase vs. Brutus Magnus A week after giving his all in a fight with Kane, Ted DiBiase found himself on a more even field, stepping into the ring with Brutus Magnus. However, DiBiase had a slight advantage since tonight Magnus was making his singles debut, and without a partner, Magnus nearly looked lost in the ring. Magnus fought as hard as he could, but not having someone to tag in took its toll on him; and DiBiase hit the Dream Street for the 1-2-3. Ted DiBiase pinned Brutus Magnus with the Dream Street in 0:14:47. Rating: ** 1/4 Commercial Break -- Mr. Anderson makes his way out to the ring, as Anarchy comes back from the commercial break, with a microphone in-hand. Anderson says that he can't remember the last time he has been this happy; and, not too long ago, he challenged for the Heavyweight Title. But, tonight, he says he's happy because - much like Kane said earlier tonight - Anderson has gotten into the mind of D'Angelo Dinero. Anderson says that, after weeks of attacks, and seeming to not have the "will" to earn a X-Division Title shot, Sunday at Downfall, he simply did what he does best: backed the champion into a wall until he had no other option BUT to give Anderson a title match! Anderson said that it made him very happy, last week, to hear Dinero say that Anderson was getting under his skin. But, Anderson gives Dinero credit for his post-match attack last week, but says that it won't deter him from walking out of Sydney with X-Division Title wrapped around his waist. Commercial Break Sarita/Velvet Sky vs. Angelina Love/� Natalya All four of these Vixens were rearing to go as the match got underway tonight; and the crowd could sense that this match was going to be a crazy one. Angelina and Natalya started off the match, double-teaming their opponents at every opportunity, wearing down Sarita. But, the challenger for the Women's Title fought back, and tagged in Velvet, who showed a new-found aggression tonight. Velvet and Sarita used quick tags to their advantage; but the crowd began getting angry as Angelina Love deliberately wanted no part of stepping into the ring with Velvet, whenever she was the legal Vixen. Frustrated, Velvet let her anger get the best of her, as she did not release a choke hold on Natalya before the five-count, and the referee had no choice by to call for the bell. After the match, Sarita entered the ring and pried Velvet off the champ, as Natalya rolled out of the ring and was comforted by Angelina. Velvet stood in the center of the ring, staring at Love as she and Natalya made their way up the ramp. Angelina Love & Natalya defeated Sarita & Velvet Sky when Natalya defeated Sky by disqualification in 0:15:25. Rating: *** Commercial Break -- A preview of next week's Anarchy begs the question: "Who will be Heavyweight Champion?", and "What will the fall out be after Mr. Anderson and "The Pope" square off for the X-Division Title?"

Evan Bourne pinned Randy Orton with the Shooting Star Press in 0:09:39. Rating: ** � Commercial Break Non-Title Match "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan vs. � Desmond Wolfe Matt Morgan wanted to prove himself tonight, just six days before a possible match against Steve Corino at Downfall, and tonight he got his chance against the Heavyweight Champion. Morgan certainly made his presence felt tonight, busting the champion open, after throwing Wolfe into the ring post. Morgan took advantage of the injury, but simply wasn't able to put Wolfe away! The champion showed a resilience that has become the standard, and though he lost a serious amount of blood, was able to hit the Jawbreaker Lariat for the shocking 1-2-3! Desmond Wolfe pinned Matt Morgan with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 0:13:31.

The camera pans around the audience as the smoke clears; Josh Daniels and Scott Michaels welcome everyone to Sydney, Australia for "Downfall". They announce the seven matches on tonight's card, and say that a lot of questions will be answered by the end of the event. They then send it to ringside for the opening contest. Kyle O'Reilly vs. "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan** Matt Morgan was hoping to step into the ring with Steve Corino tonight, but at bell time Corino had yet to renew his contract. So, tonight, the unfortunate honor fell onto O'Reilly's shoulders. O'Reilly had a rough welcoming to the HWL on Monday night, and things didn't get much better tonight, as Morgan quickly made an example of the newcomer, using his size and power to complete overmatch O'Reilly. Morgan put O'Reilly away with a vertical suplex side slam for the quick victory. After the match, Morgan grabbed O'Reilly and connect with the Hellavator in the center of the ring! Matt Morgan pinned Kyle O'Reilly after a vertical suplex side slam in 0:01:54. Rating: * 1/4 -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with The Usos and Tamina. Tamina, says that The Jimmy and Jey have had their ups and downs during their time in the HWL, but that keeping Alex Shelley and Randy Orton from competing for the Tag Team Titles tonight was their first major success since their debut. She says that tonight, all they need to do is beat Shelley and Orton, and they will on their way to challenging for the Tag Team Titles. -- Standing outside their locker room, in another area backstage, Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, and Natalya hold their respective titles in full view of the camera. Natalya says that it has been a while since they all held gold in the HWL together, but even after a short separation from the Women's Title, The Hart Dynasty has reclaimed their spot as the most dominating faction in the HWL. She says that Kidd and Hart are the current, and longest-reigning Tag Team Champions, and that she is the most dominant Vixen to ever enter an HWL ring. She says that tonight, Sarita will get her chance to win back the title, but that there is no guarantee that she'll even come close. "The Viper" Randy Orton/Alex Shelley vs. The Usos (w/Tamina) The crowd in Sydney was absolutely stunned tonight at how quickly this match came to an end. Jimmy Uso connected with a surprise Superkick on Randy Orton, and connected with the Superfly Splash to big up the huge victory. After the match, Jimmy and Jey fled the ring, and celebrated with Tamina. At ringside, Alex Shelley stood on the apron, looking at Orton in complete - and utter - shock. The Usos (Jimmy & Jey) defeated Randy Orton & Alex Shelley when Jimmy pinned R. Orton with the Superfly Splash in 0:00:50. Rating: * -- Backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Sarita, who says that she has never been shy about giving Natalya the credit she deserves, and that it's true: she is the most dominating Vixen in the HWL. But she says that she was able to win the title once before, and that she's not happy with just having one title reign. Sarita says that her chances of winning the title are just as good as Natalya's chances of retaining. Sarita says that, as she's proven before, anything is possible... -- Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith are seen, on their way to the stage area, when they are stopped by Tim Hanson. Hanson asks what they think about the comments made by Brutus Magnus Monday night, on Anarchy. David Hart Smith says that Magnus can say whatever he wants: about finding the weakness in Smith and Kidid, or about how he and Rob Terry are going to be stronger then he and Doug Williams ever could be. But, nothing he says will change the fact that Smith and Kidd have been dominating the tag team division for months, and that until some "serious competition" arrives in the HWL, they will remain tag team champions. HWL Women's Title Match Sarita vs. � Natalya Continuing with the theme of tonight's event, Natalya retained her title in very quick fashion, reversing a DDT attempt into a small package. Natalya appeared to have grabbed Sarita's tights as the referee counted to three, and quickly rolled out of the ring after the match. Sarita sat on her knees, pleading with the referee, as Natalya made her way up the ramp, celebrating her victory. Natalya pinned Sarita after a small package in 0:00:22. Rating: * (Natalya retained the HWL Women's Title.) -- Backstage, "The Big Red Monster" Kane is shown entering the arena. Daniels and Michaels discuss the magnitude of tonight's main event, saying that it could be Kane's last shot at the Heavyweight Title, if Desmond Wolfe retains. -- In another area backstage, Alisha Hicks is seen with Angelina Love, who says that she needs to talk to Peter Bradshaw about allowing her to bring protection out to the ring tonight. Love says that Velvet Sky has absolutely gone crazy with jealousy, because she no longer has Love to help her out. Angelina says that she needs protection, because it's obvious that Velvet is not in a good state of mind; and that she could've killed Natalya on Monday night, had the referee not intervened. Angelina says that she's fearing for her safety, and if anything happens, she's going straight to Bradshaw's office. HWL Tag Team Title Match The British Invasion vs. � The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya) The tone for this match had been set since the day The British Invasion won the right to challenge for the titles. The battle between these two teams started backstage, with a war of words, and finally came to a combustible conclusion tonight. For weeks, The British Invasion had claimed to have found the "weakness" in The Hart Dynasty; and the champions had stuck to the point that they had beaten every team that had gotten in their way.

Dinero says that Mr. Anderson was right about one thing: he didn't show any "will" toward actually earning his title shot tonight; but, that the only reason he's getting the match, is to see if he can truly back up all the garbage that comes out of his mouth. Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky Velvet started off the match strong, proving that Angelina really had no place to hide, hitting her former partner with any kind of offense she could muster. Angelina was able to fight back, but sensing her offense wasn't working, she "inadvertently" bumped into the referee, allowing her to go after Velvet more aggressively. But, Velvet was able to fight back again, keeping herself out of harm's way as the referee got back to his feet; Velvet hit the Beauty Mark for the 1-2-3. After the match, Velvet celebrated with the fans at ringside as Angelina slowly got to her feet. Velvet Sky pinned Angelina Love with the Beauty Mark in 0:06:54.

They say that everything tonight has been leading up to one moment: Kane versus Desmond Wolfe, for the HWL Heavyweight Title... which is next! HWL Heavyweight Title Match "The Big Red Monster" Kane vs. � Desmond Wolfe A lot of pent-up frustration - and pure hatred - had been building since this match was announced, just over a month ago; and tonight, both of these men went out to prove that they were truly better then one another. They jockeyed for position for the opening minutes of the match, but Wolfe was able to garner a little bit of offense... never getting enough to keep Kane down on the canvas. Kane was able to fight back throughout the match, and nearly picked up the victory after hitting a power slam in the center of the ring. He then attempted the Choke Slam From Hell, but Wolfe was able to fight his way out of the hold, continuing the match. Wolfe was able to gain a little more strength after hitting a short lariat, that appeared to have hit Kane in the jaw; the bigger opponent seemed to stumble around on his feet after the contact. This opened up the opportunity that Wolfe needed, and he connected with the Jawbreaker Lariat to pick up the victory! After the match, Wolfe crumpled onto the canvas with the Heavyweight Title, as Daniels and Michaels reminded everyone that Kane was no longer allowed to challenger for the Heavyweight Title for as long as Wolfe was Champion. They hoped everyone would join them tomorrow night for Anarchy before signing off for the evening. Desmond Wolfe pinned Kane with the Jawbreaker Lariat in 0:17:04.
