MCPW Live
Cobo Hall
Detroit, MI - 07/20/07-


Welcome to Detroit, Michigan. This week MCPW is coming to you live from the Cobo Hall and what a card we have lined up tonight. Brock Lesnar is in the ring who later tonight will take on Christian Cage for the MCPW title. After the crowd calms down Lesnar talks about how last Cage's actions confirmed every rumor he heard. That Cage was nothing but a bully surrounded by smaller bullies. That if you took the fight to the bully he would back down and not fight. Lasner said tonight the bulling stops. Tonight a bigger bully is in town and is going to dismantle everything Cage has done in MCPW. Lasner finishes by saying that the first thing he is going to take is the MCPW title.

Bed of Nails Match:
CM Punk defeated Harry Smith in 0:17:45.
Rating: *** 1/4

This match was quickly signed after what went down last week between these two but yesterday changed to a "Bed of Nails" match. The new found aggression in Smith came out from the start and worked over Punk till late in the match when Punk was able to take advantage of a missed kick. Punk worked over Smith and placed him on the Bed of Nails for the win. Attendants quickly took Harry Smith to the back for attention by doctors.

Back Stage

We see Operations manager Bill DeMott taking questions from reporters and we listen in. One reporter ask about the allegations that Brock Lesnar was involved in the attack against former TV champion AJ Styles and what was going to be done? DeMott just said that they were still looking into it but nothing has been confirmed.  Another reporter asked why has Lesnar, a new star here in MCPW was able to jump in and challenge for the MCPW title? DeMott answered by saying that Lesnar's past accomplishments and proven track record was enough to show he was a main eventer. The last reporter said that he has heard that Cage has not arrived yet and may not show. If he does not show what will happen? DeMott answered by saying "simple he will be stripped of the title and we will go from there". The reporters started fireing off more questions but DeMott said he had to go and will talk them on Wednesday like usual.

Rating: **** 1/4

Another added match for tonight and this one may be the match of the night. The Briscoe Brothers took Adam Pearce and Shark Boy who together was a lackluster team but since going solo has been tearing up the roster These two teamed up again and did what few have in MCPW and that is take out the Briscoe's. Pearce and Shark Boy looked real good in this one going toe to toe with the Brothers. Adam Pearce was able to hit a Jumping Piledriver on Mark Briscoe and pick up the big win.

Rating: ***

Last week The World's Greatest Tag Team stole a victory from London and Kendrick with the help of AJ Styles. Since Coalition members are banned from other Coalition matches Styles was not at ringside. This one went back and forth as both teams showed why they were top contenders in the tag division.

MCPW Television Title

Rating: *** 1/2
(Samoa Joe retained the MCPW Television Title.)
Dykstra who asked for this match because he blames Joe for running out his mentor and friend, said he was going to win the title for Raven. Samoa Joe had other ideas as both men put up a great fight. It was Joe who hit a rana on Dykstra to pick up the win and hold on to the TV title.

Dog Collar Match:
Chase Stevens pinned Austin Aries after a flying forearm in 0:12:16.
Rating: ***

Earlier today it was confirmed that And Douglas' injuries were worst then first thought and he will be away from the ring for some time. This news prompted Sevens to change this match to a Dog Collar match. Another great match as both men went at each other. This time Aries didn't have the Coalition to bail him out and Stevens hit a flying forearm and picked up the win.

Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli and Mr. X) and
Irish Airborne (Lotus and Crazy J) and Bryan Danielson battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: *** 3/4

Last week Mr. X was to face Bryan Danielson but Danielson was a no-show. This week Danielson and the former tag team champions Irish Airborne faced all 3 members of the Kings, Mr. X and the Tag Team champions Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. This one was all over the place and as expected rules were just a suggestion but after 20 minutes, nothing was resolved.

MCPW Heavyweight Title No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Christian Cage pinned Brock Lesnar with the Unprettier in 0:17:43.
Rating: ***
(Christian Cage retained the MCPW Heavyweight Title.)

It was clear who the fans wanted to win this one. You could feel it in the air that something was about to go down. With the Coalition banned from ringside everyone knew we were looking at the final moments of the Cage Era. But alas Cage shows again why he held the title for as long as he had. Cage did what no one thought he would and took the fight to Lesnar. That didn't mean that Cage was running away with the match, Lesnar was all over Cage but the champ held his till he saw his opening and slid out the ring. With no countout we knew Cage was not trying to get counted out again. Lesnar followed Cage around the ring. Cage grabbed the title off the table and hit Lesnar square between the eyes. Cage regained his strut and swagger as he dragged Lesnar's body in to the ring. He made one more gesture to the crowd then hit the Unprettier on Lesnar and picked up the win. Cage skid out the ring, picked up the belt and slowly made his way to the back as the sold out crowd lit in to him.

Wow! I'm surprised to see Cage pick up the win over Lesnar... but, seeing has how it was no DQ/no count out, the odds were in the champ's favor. I highly doubt that Cage would be successful in a regular singles match.

must admit, there's some talent here i haven't heard of. it looks like a lot of people are using harry smith. i have yet to actually see him in action for myself, as to why i'm hesitant to use him. but, i really liked the bed of nails match. hardcore. i dig christian cage as champ and happy to see him go over brock.
