MM: Steven, last week, it seemed like you and Jeff Jarrett had a plan to take out 3CW Champion: Samoa Joe. And just when it looked as though the plan had worked perfectly, Jeff Jarrett stabbed you in the back.
SR: Jeff Jarrett is the scum of the Earth. Yeah, I'll admit it, we had a plan to help me get into the main event this week. But, obviously, he had a plan of his own to try & take me out as well. So now tonight, it's everyman for himself inside that cage. Just like it was back in the Elimination Chamber. And tonight, the outcome is gonna be the same as it was then.

Jeff Jarrett, Lance Cade & Roderick Strong are backstage devising a plan.
JJ: So what are you two going to do to make sure that I win that cage match tonight?
LC: Well boss, we could just storm the cage & then the 3 of us can take out Joe & Richards until you can pin one of 'em.
RS: Or we could just take one of them out before the match even starts. That way someone goes in injured & is easy pickings for you.
JJ: I like the sound of the Roderick. But who should be hit? Better take out Joe to be safe. I can handle Richards by myself. But first just get through your match next & then worry about doing the job.

BA: Well, after watching the tapes from the last 2 weeks, I've seen the mistakes I've made & I know what I have to do to correct them. Tonight, I put those corrections in action & show the "American Dragon" just who the best pure wrestler in the world truly is when I go up 2 to 1.
MM: Don't you think he's watched the same tapes & learned the same lesson?
BA: He may have watched the tapes, but, Bryan's biggest problem is that his ego is so big he feels he doesn't need to make corrections. Well, that & he has to face me a minimum of 3 more times.
Albright walks off confidently.

Melissa Martinez is with Veronica Caine & the 3CW Tag Team Champions: Frankie Kazarian & maven of The Enterprise.
MM: Ms. Caine, tonight your team is taking on the biggest team in 3CW. I mean Viscera alone weighs more than both Kazarian & Maven combined. How do you plan on countering such a huge size advantage?
VC: What V-Squared has over us in size, we more than make up for in brains & skill. Kazarian & Maven are 2 of the best young talents that have ever stepped into a ring. While V-Squared are just 2 aging, overly horny guys that really don't have alot left to offer the business. Besides, they won't be able to take their eyes off me long enough to even try to win the match. Let's just face facts, The E is the furture of wrestling. Anything else would be unexceptional. (she blows a kiss at the camera as she leads the tag champs away)

Good, crowd-pleasing opening match, if a little random.

Good promo from Richards. I guess I'm a little confused as to exactly what roles Stevie and Joe are playing in this whole thing. Who's the more heelish of the two?

Good match for Roode. Wonder when he's gonna get a new program?

Godfather keeps racking up wins in 3CW! Id love to see him get a title shot sometime soon. Punk on commentary I'm sure would be good. Tough break for Cabana of course, but whatever :P

Interesting. More Canadians. You obviously know where you're going with this, but more Canadians can never be a bad thing ;D

Bad night for Lo Down, but D'Lo had a great match. I love Jamie Noble :) ... so huzzah!

Woow, that was a great rating. You've done well in this mini-feud with two wrestlers I don't always care about. Nice job!

Another great Danielson/Albright match. I like the commentary on AmDragon and you're making Albright more and more credible every week.

Interesting end to V-Squared and The Enterprise. Gotta figure there'll be a rematch. I'm all for it!

AWESOME match! The end was gold, I swear I wanna know what you're feeding your computer :P

Great show! Maybe best yet! Lovin' it!

I'll admit it this time... I did edit the finish of the main event, but, all I did was cut out afew lines of text I never rewrote it.

Both Joe & Stevie are faces. I just needed some ambiguity for the 3 way.

Random or not... the opening match serves a purpose that will be revealed soon.

Next week starts MY addition to Mushi's ruleset. Hope they keep you as interested as the previous weeks.

3CW Newsline:

Fresh off his win at Best Of The Best, will Samoa Joe be ready for whatever new challenges await him?

Jeff Jarrett was livid after not being able to capture the 3CW Title at BOTB. Will "The King of the Mountain" try to stake his claim to the title again? Or will he deal with his inability to win the belt by ending his bid for the gold?

Jake Roberts will have an Earth shaking next week. No one is sure what it is. Then again, no one is ever really sure what is going through the mind of "The Snake".

Brent Albright pulled ahead in his best of 7 series with Bryan Danielson 2-1. Will "The American Dragon" be able to rebound next week? Or will Albright pull even further ahead?

CM Punk is giving hi spartner Colt Cabana one more chance to prove himself as a top-tier star. What will Cabana be frced to do next week? Will he just end up "Punk'd" by the 3CW TV Champ?

After their 6 man tag match at BOTB, Gregory Helms, Ken Kennedy & Sean Casey all seemed to blame eachother for the loss. Next week they will all face off in a triple threat match to settle their diferences.

All that & more next week as we roll in to Detroit, Michigan for:
Motor City Madness
