VC: Once again, last week I was nearly manhandled by another one of the perverted men on this roster. Well, I am here to tell you all, that as long as Mr. Kennedy is by my side, no man on his roster will touch me.
The Godfather's music plays as the big Pimp Daddy makes his way to the ring to a racous hometown ovation. When he & his hos get into the ring, The Godfather asks for the announcer's mic.
G: WHAT'S UP LAS VEGAS!?! Now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show. So come on & get aboard the HHHHOOOOOOOO TRAIN! Now I wanna hear it from the top of the arena all the way to the floor as we light up a fatty for this pimp daddy & say "PIMPIN' AIN'T EASY!" (The crowd responds in kind. ) Now Ken doll, how about I make you a deal of a lifetime. You can have all these fine ass hos for the night, if you let me take Ms. Caine out on the street & have her turn afew for my service.
Kennedy thinks for a second before Caine gets in his face.
VC: Are you insane!?! I can't believe you're actually thinking about it! (Kennedy then says he wouldn't have done it) You better not, or you'll be back in Green Bay at the factory I found you at. And as for you (turning to Godfather) you can take your skanky, slutty, tramps back to that dive you manage.
G: Hey now, nobody disrespects the Godfather's ladies like that. Or his club. So here's a new deal for you. You don't get the hos, and I kick your ass all over the Vegas strip! (Godfather drops the mic & attacks Kennedy.)

We don't care if he's one half of the tag team champions or not. This match is to show everyone that "The Canadian Enforcer" is the best raw talent in the world.

I'm not gonna cancel your match, but, I am gonna add something to it. To make sure you can't hurt the referee calling the match, I'm going to referee the match later tonight. And trust me, I will make sure the best man wins.

Melissa Martinez is with B.G. James.
MM: B.G. James, 2 weeks ago your partner Kip James was injured during a match with Jeff Jarrett. And last week, when confronted with that knowledge, Jarrett seemed not to care about his well-being.
BJ: That's because Jeff Jarrett is a low life that only cares about himself. I should've seen it when all 3 of us used to ride to the shows together back in the day. Jeff would always make sure he had just enough for himself & the hell with everyone else. And even if he did have enough for us too, he never shared anything. Now my partner is home nursing a back injury & Jeff's never even called to see how he's doing. Well, tonight, Jeff Jarrett, you're gona go from living the high life as "King of the Mountain" to feeling the pain in the "Dogg House".

Melissa Martinez is with 3CW Television Champion: CM Punk.
MM: CM Punk, tonight is the first time you will defend the new 3CW TV Title. Sonny Siaki is a very accomplished wrestler & now with the added interest of Jake Roberts as special referee, the deck seems like it's getting stacked against you.
CP: Of course it's getting stacked against me. That's the way it's been my whole career. Someone has always had to try & hold me back. Different names, same agenda. Keep CM Punk from becoming the biggest star in the industry. Now, it's just Jake Roberts' turn to try. But, this time it'll be different. This time I will rise above all the politics, all the b.s., and all mind games. This time I refuse to let anyone stop me. This TV Title is just the first step on my path to glory. I will not be denied. Not by Sonny Siaki, not by Samoa Joe, not by Jeff Jarrett, not even by Jake Roberts. Nobody is gonna stop me now.

MM: Steven Richards, tonight you are going into what has got to be not only the hardest title defense you've had since winning the belt, but, just the toughest match of your career.
SR: YOu know, at first when Jake Roberts made this match I was really worried. But, then I went back and watched someof my old matches from ECW to help me remember just who I am. I looked back at all the wars I've been in. Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Mikey Whipwreck, Terry Funk, The Sandman, Raven, The Pitbulls, Public Enemy, may they rest in peace, I've stood toe to toe with them all. And I'm still here. Samoa Joe likes to brag about all he's done & how he's done it better & faster than I have. Well, I have something to brag about too. I've beaten him twice when the title is on the line. I did it because I never back down & I never quit. I've been put through tables, hit with chairs, beaten with bats, and I'm still here. There's no way I'm afraid of a ladder match. There's no way I'm afraid of Samoa Joe. He's the one that needs to be afraid of Steven Richards. He needs to be afraid of the Stevie Kick. And after I climb that ladder & retrieve this title, even he will respect me.

After the match:
As a bloody Samoa Joe celebrates in the ring with his newly regained title, a beaten & equally bloody Steven Richards pulls himself up with the ladder. Joe turns around to show off to the crowd & sees Richards standing there, leaning on the ladder. Richards readies himself for another fight by raising his fists as he stand on wobbly legs. Joe stares in shock that Richards is seemly ready to continue their war even after the beating each has endured. Joe approaches Richards and just when everyone thinks they are about to come to blows, Joe offers his hand in a show of respect for the former champion. Richards looks down at his hand & then at Joe's face. Then slowly the 2 gladiators shake hands in a gesture of mutual respect as the crowd roars in approval.
Suddenly, Jeff Jarrett hits the ring and rushes the ladder, knocking it into Richards & sending him to the mat. As Joe tries to assist his former opponent, Jarrett quickly goes to the corner & grabs his guitar & shatters it over the new champion's head. Jarrett then grabs the 3CW Heavyweight Title belt & holds it high in the air as the show ends.

Jeff Jarrett spoils a rare moment of sportsmanship & leave Vegas with a title belt he did not earn. Samoa Joe was livid after the show & tore apart the locker room in a fit of rage. Next week Jarrett explains his actions. But will he face the wrath of the "Samoan Submission Machine"?

CM Punk held onto his belt even with Jake Roberts as referee. Will Sonny Siaki cry "foul" & demand a rematch?

Bobby Roode & Scott D'Amore demanded a handicap match next week against Brent Albright to try & end Roode's humiliation for tapping out to "The Shooter" last week. Albright has accepted the challenge & next week these 3 will meet in the ring.

Speaking of Albright, what was going through his head when he walked out on his partner as he tried to explain himself after their tag team title match? Hopefully we'll get some answers to those questions & more next week at

NEW REVOLUTION

Good continuity from last week's matches! Godfather picks up a huge win again, and I start to wonder if Mr. Kennedy will ever catch a break. Well, this is better than being abused by the world fattest love machine... crazy good match! **** 1/2?! Vegas... who loves ya, baby?

Well D'Amore usedd to wrestle and I love Roode and Albright, so if Brent accepts that could be a pretty fun affair. Nice going ith this feud so far.

Wooow, ***** on the next match. Awesome! I actually love the continuity from last week... you seem to do that rather well. And Shinzaki taks out Strong. Gotta love the ending...

Damn, I love Helms. I could have seen that going either way, but I was totally pulling for Greg. But hopefully Rey AND Helms will get a chance to shine soon enough.

Okay, so I guess I'm not the only one who likes using Jeff Jarrett in this role. Had to figure he would win this one though. Surprisingly good match, again! Either their heat has gone up a lot since you started 3CW or Vegas just loves you ;D

Yeeah CM Punk! I def enjoyed the twist of Jake being the guest ref for the match, and I'm stoked that Punk retained. Personally, I hope the title reign gets dragged out for a bit before he jumps to the main event scene...

As much as it looks on paper that Danielson and Albright should win this match, I still have the feeling that after last week's embarassment The Enterprise would pull it off... and they do! Good match and a nice defence for the champs. I smell Albright vs. Danielson ;D ;D

Grrrr!! I so thought Stevie had that match! But nooo, Samoa Joe is friggin' amazing... *sigh* at least it was an awesome match and Stevie goes out like a champ. Jarrett attacks! El Ka-Bong! Sweet deal for Joe-Jarrett :)

Nice go, man! Can't wait for next!
