3CW New Blood Rising 8-5-06

JustinPosted on 06/28/06 at 03:02:42

A quick highlight video is shown from last week. After the video, we go to the ring where Roderick Strong is ready to announce his new tag team partner.
RS: Now that I've dropped that dead weight, Lance Cade, I'm ready to move on & finally make a serious run for the 3CW Tag Team Title. Now, I know that it won't be a big surprise when my new partner comes out here to help me start the reformation one of the best groups this business has ever seen. So, without further hesitation, please welcome to the ring, my partner: Austin Aries & welcome back: Generation Next!
Aries comes out to a mixed reaction, suddenly his entrance is interupted by Colt Cabana's music.
CC: Welcome back, welcome back. Now I hate to cut your little reunion, but, Rod, Austin, you 2 aren't the only ones getting into the hunt for the 3CW Tag Team Title. You see, I've decided to take my acreer in a whole new direction, but, to do that, I needed a partner. And I just happened to find a man that has had a good amount of success in not just tag team wrestling, but, all over the world. He is a former Pro Wrestling NOAH Global Honored Crown Tag Team Champion, a former WCW World Tag Team Champion, a former ECW World Tag Team Champion, and to go one step further, he is also a former ECW Television Champion. He's got the talent, he's got the moves, he's got the flash, and he's got the funk. Ladies & gentlemen: TOO COLD SCORPIO!
Kool & The Gang's "Jungle Boogie" as Too Cold copmes out from backstage to a loud ovation. He then dances down to the ring & shakes Colt's hand.

JR: What do I want? Your blood spilt in the ring. Do you actually think that you could come in here & nearly ruin one of the biggest night's this company's had? You wanna be a "Maverick"? You wanna break rules? Well, let me tell you something son, you got lucky last week. You were lucky you beat Val Venis, because, you not only got to keep the #1 contender's spot, but, your job as well. NOw I know you still need a partner tonight, and I hope you find one.But next week, you will be taking on Val Venis again. And it will be for the #1 contender's spot.

LC: Well, with my help tonight, you can beat Air Paris in no time at all.

SR: I don't think that it will hurt us as much as The Enterprise. The way we see it, they have to take on a team that they've never faced before. That gives us the element of surprise. And the biggest surprise will come when we beat the 3CW Tag Team Champions, and earn a shot at those belts real soon.

Melissa Matrinez is with 3CW Champion: Samoa Joe.
MM: Samoa Joe, last week, you jumped Matt Bentley after he called you out. Alot of people wanted to know why you jumped him from behind instead of answering his challenge face to face?
SJ: Because given the chance, Matt Bentley would have done the exact same thing to me. I just wanted to beat him to the punch. All I have now is a warning for Matt Bentley; walk away now. Before I finish what you started. (Joe walks off)

CP: Let me stop you right there. The Hurricane is a joke. All Greg Helms is trying to do is get a cheap pop from all the kiddies. But, I am a man of my word. So, tonight, I'll take on The Hurricane in a non title match. If he wins, I'll give him a shot at the title. But, WHEN I win, I'm sending him & his bad gimmick back to the comic book store & out of 3CW. And then, it's onto whoever holds the 3CW Title after Bentley, Val Venis, & Samoa Joe are done fighting over it. Then, when the smoke clears, the only one left standing will be the man that holds not only the Television Title but the 3CW Heavyweight Title as well; me: CM Punk. 'Nuff said.

Edge & Lita walk into frame.
E: From now on, the inmates are going to run this asylum. Matt Bentley & I are going to turn this company upside down with the chaos we've got planned. And it all starts tonight, when we take out that fat joke of a champion & that never was he's got for a partner. What we've got planned will make the old ECW look like a kindergarten class. It will make the nWo & DX look like a kids puppet show. A new era is about to begin. And it begins with the blood of Samoa Joe.

Generation Next has been reborn. Too bad Colt Cabana had to spoil their reunion by bringing in a new tag team partner of his own in Too Cold Scorpio. These 2 new duos are welcome & exciting additions to our already hot tag team division.

Brent Albright continues his winning streak this week by outlasting 9 other men in hard fought battle royal. You have to wonder just how long he'll stay out of the title scene.

Lance Storm lost cleanly to Bobby Roode. But instead of taking the win & just celebrating, Roode tried to humiliate Storm further by locking him in his own "Canadian Mapleleaf". Storm quickly reversed the hold, but, thanks to Coach D'Amore, Roode escaped before any damage could be done.

Jeff Jarrett told Lance Cade that he didn't need the young cowboy's help against Air Paris because he didn't want to risk a dq. But, Jarrett's female sidekick: Gail Kim nearly cost him the match in just that way. First Roderick Strong dumps him as a partner, then Jarrett pushes him aside. What's left for Cade to do now?

Kazarian & Maven continue their dominance of the tag team division. It seems like no team in this company can take them down. Now, The E has issued a challenge for any team to come to 3CW next week & face them.

AJ Styles & Bryan Danielson stole the show with a highly contested battle that saw Styles picking up the win. We can only hope that thses 2 go at it again soon to entertain the fans.

When Rey Mysterio's flight was delayed, Mike Mizanin had no problem with stepping in & facing Ken Kennedy, who proceded to make short work of "The Miz". Next week, Mysterio will be there to take on Kennedy in the match that was supposed to happen tonight.

Do you believe a man can fly? Well, The Hurricane just soared to the position of #1 contender to the 3CW TV Title. Now in 2 weeks, he will get a shot at the title. Is the self proclaimed Superhero the man that can stop Punk's reign as champion? Or will Punk be able to turn back yet another challenger to his gold?

Matt Bentley is still in the proverbial dog house with Jake Roberts. This week, he & his hand picked partner got beaten down by Samoa Joe & Val Venis. Next week, he will once again have to take on "The Big Valbowski" in a Strap Match in which the #1 contendership to the 3CW Title will again be on the line.

Next week:

Ken Kennedy vs Rey Mysterio

#1 Contender Strap Match:
Matt Bentley vs Val Venis

The Enterprise will take on whichever team has decided to answer their challenge.

Plus much more as we head into August & all of 3CW will
FEEL THE HEAT

Some new blood for the tag division, never a bad thing, especially in this day and age when the tag division seems to be pushed to the wayside.

Albright quite a dominant force there at the end of the battle royal.

Didn't think Roode was going to overtake Storm here tonight.  I like the post match shinanigans.

Jarrett beats Paris, to be expected, but I was surprised it took him 11 minutes to do so.

I'm sure Rey has a better excuse than being afraid of Ken Kennedy, but trying to convince Kennedy of that is another story.  Good win for him here tonight.

Punk just lost in a non-title match to Hurricane?  Does this spell title shot?  I bet Hurry hopes it does.

Good stuff. :)
