DWF Canadian Stampede - 16/12/07

91Posted on 10/22/05 at 20:49:22

I could give a "losing my smile" style speech as to why I haven't posted this in three months, but who really wants THAT? Shall we get to the card...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the show opens up, we go to the ring for the upcoming battle royal. First to
enter is the popular luchadore La Parka. As he dances and shakes his way to
the ring, we go backstage to see Matt Hardy entering accompanied by Gene
Snitsky and Heidenreich. Michael Cole rushes up.

Cole: "Matt Hardy, tonight you face Jody Fleisch, are you at all concerned
about this huge grudge match?"

Hardy: "You're an idiot Cole, I'll give your little interview later on. For
now, I'm more worried about what plans Jody Fleisch has up his sleeve to
cheat."

RVD: "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!"

Rob Van Dam staggers on.

RVD: "I just want to thank you man, for getting this shot on this card dude,
y'know, that is so not bogus."

Hardy: "Rob, you're not wrestling."

RVD: "Have you got any Pringles, I suddenly feel really hungry."

Hardy: "Look, shut up and go h... actually I've got a better idea, I need
someone to guard the door and make sure none of Jody Fleisch' cronies turn
up. Cole, is everyone that's supposed to be here tonight here already?"

Cole: "Yeah, everyone, you're the last to arrive."

Hardy: "Good. Rob, I want you to guard the door and make sure NOBODY enters
without my strict permission."

RVD: "You want me to stand outside?"

Hardy: "Yes."

RVD: "In the rain?"

Hardy: "Yeah, sure, whatever."

RVD: "OK cool man, thanks for this opportunity Jeff."

Hardy: "Moron."

Hardy and his entourage walk off as we return to the ring.

Back in there, we have La Parka, The Young Lions, Masato Tanaka, Jeff Hardy,
Kid Kash, Super Calo, Essa Rios, Coach, Mando Guerrero, Hayabusa, Tajiri and
the Mean Street Posse in the ring. Officials are trying to weigh Pete Gas, who
won't have any of it. Low Ki enters next to a good reception. He tags hands
with Kid Kash as a mark of respect between these two friends, though there won't
be any friends in this. Juventud Guerrera is last to enter, but he has a mic
with him.

Juventud: "I am sick of this. What is up with this crap? I am the greatest
cruiserweight in the DWF and I have NEVER gotten to wear that belt, and it's
not fair. And now instead of getting my god given shot, I have to fight these
morons. Look at them, Low Ki is about as ugly as they come. He's called Low Ki
because he's low key and BORING! As for his best friend, Kid Kash, he's proof
that all the jobbers always hang out with each other. He tries to look like Kid
Rock but he looks more like Boy George. And the Mean Street Posse are fat
idiots who don't belong in the DWF - when I watch their matches, I don't want
to be in the DWF, I want to be in the DUI.

All the rest of them, they all suck. The Young Lions have solved every mystery
there is except why they smell so bad. And Jeff Hardy couldn't write a poem
if he copied one off the back of a coaster he's so stupid, his haiku is more
like haiCRAP! I am the best cruiserweight in the world and I'm going to prove
it right here."

Juventud throws down his mic and dives in as the match gets underway.

16 man cruiserweight battle royal

The night opened with the big sixteen man cruiserweight battle royal. Former
champions included Low Ki, Kid Kash, Christian York, Essa Rios and Tajiri, and
with such illuminaries as Jeff Hardy, Mando Guerrero, Hayabusa and the outspoken
Juventud Guerrera, it was tough to call a winner. Joey Matthews started
proceedings by grabbing Pete Gas on the bell and hurling him right out. Jeff
Hardy clotheslined Super Calo mere seconds later.

After those two ultra quick eliminations, things settled down. One man not
getting too involved was the Coach, weaseling out of the action, but he snuck
back in when La Parka had Rodney grappled against the ropes and pushed them
both out. Disgusting. Luckily for all of us, Low Ki executed a quick spinning
kick to the jaw of Coachman to send him out too. Mando Guerrero thinned things
out a bit more by ejecting former champion Christian York.

Juventud Guerrera might have been upset before the match, but he was proving
his worth, first by backdropping Essa Rios out, then seconds later he saw
Tajiri grappling in the ropes, and tipped him out as well. Hayabusa and Joey
Matthews meanwhile were working over Jeff Hardy in the corner and Matthews
hooked up Hardy for some Busa chops, only for Hardy to duck out and Busa to
chop Matthews right out of the ring.

Jeff Hardy became even more unpopular soon after by getting a rather fortunate
backdrop on Low Ki that saw Ki fall initially into the ropes and then right
out of the ring. To compound things more, Mando hurled Hayabusa out a few
moments later.

So we were down to five - Jeff Hardy, Mando Guerrero, Kid Kash, Masato Tanaka
and Juventud Guerrera. Kid Kash did everyone a favour by ducking a Jeff Hardy
charge to send him out. Juventud and Mando then started pairing up and got
Masato Tanaka out when Mando held him in place for a Juvi dropkick. With just
three left, Kid Kash found himself having to fight off both Juventud and Mando
Guerrero. That he did as he was able to whip Juventud Guerrera right into
Mando Guerrero, sending them both tumbling from the ring, giving the duke and
number one contendership to Kid Kash. ****

We go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Dynamite Kid, in a few short hours you'll get a second crack at Don
Muracos world heavyweight title, only this time, the competition has been upped
from last month with the inclusion of Chris Jericho and Steve Corino."

Dynamite: "Yes, it's not easy, but I can say that this time it's much easier.
How do you beat a giant like Don Muraco? Everyone has been trying to work that
out for two years, but this time, I don't have to beat him to be the winner.
I'm no dummy Michael Cole, I'm not going to try and beat the biggest man in
the match unless the opportunity is there. I'm going to try and beat the two
smallest men in there, and that way, I can become once again the worlds
champion."

Cole: "Strategy already being plotted out by the combatants in the world title
match. Back to you guys at ringside."

Back in the ring, it's time for our number one contenders match for the
Intercontinental title. Eddie Guerrero enters first and thankfully he's not
brought his brothers with him. He does get booed heavily for his efforts. Rey
Mysterio enters next to a good response. Before the match can begin however,
the music of the one and only "Rock" Brad Armstrong hits up, which brings the
crowd up. And yes, sure enough, some are actually cheering him. Brad enters the
ring and poses with the belt before grabbing a mic.

Brad: "Finally the Rock HAS COME BACK.... to Calgary. And let the Rock say
this, he promised, he made the promise of a lifetime, that if one of you two
jabronis could impress him, he would in fact give you a shot at his coveted
Intercontinental title. Now The Rock knows that you'll never win it of course,
but being the peoples champion that he is, The Rock might just be willing, from
the goodness of his heart, to give one of you pieces of trailer park trash a
shot at his title. Now The Rock doesn't trust these jabronis working the
cameras at ringside to show the true story so instead he has come out here to
thrill the millions and millions of The Rocks fans all around the world who are
dissapointed they can't see him in person tonight. He is going to do colour
commentary with these country bumpkins at the announce table and make it the
best damn broadcast there ever was, and then after the match The Rock will
tell the whole world who he is going to face, if you smell what The Rock is
cooking."

The Rock drops the mic and heads over to the announce table while Eddie jumps
Rey from behind to begin the match.

Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero

Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero might have had the chance to impress Brad
Armstrong into giving them a title shot, but any thoughts of the gold were out
of the window as their match wore on as they both intensified their attack on
each other, neither man thinking of anything else but victory. Brad meanwhile,
"The Rock", seemed unimpressed at ringside, verbally bashing both men with some
of The Rocks famous put downs. Despite that, both men certainly were impressive
keeping the pace at a high tempo at all times.

Still, being sneaky and manipulative as he is, Eddie took advantage by accusing
Rey of an illegal low blow, and while the ref interrogated Rey, Eddie took a
cheap shot at him, and was thus in control. If he'd stuck at it, victory would
have been pretty likely, but instead he chose to leave Rey in order to go over
to the ropes and start badmouthing Brad. Brad dropped his headset and began
firing his retorts at Eddie. Meanwhile Rey was back with it and ran up behind
Eddie, delivering a huge 619 to the gut of Eddie, and that was enough for the
win. *** 3/4

As Rey celebrates the win, Brad Armstrong grabs a mic.

Brad: "Well, let The Rock be the first to congratulate you on winning in front
of the millions of The Rocks fans watching all around the world. You did
indeed have a chance to get a shot at The Rocks Intercontinental title if you
could impress the great one. Well The Rock wants you to know that he is
anything but impressed. The Rock says that your victory was cheap, and you
will never be able to go toe to toe with the great one."

Rey looks like he's going to protest but decides against it and leaves. Eddie
meanwhile looks happy, seemingly now set to get the title shot. Brad now enters
the ring.

Brad: "So Eddie Guerrero. The Rock needs someone to challenge him for the
Intercontinental title, and you are the one man left in the ring that The Rock
can offer a title shot to."

Eddie nods cockily as Brad continues.

Brad: "So let The Rock be one to say that you indeed the DUMBEST son of a bitch
that The Rock has ever seen."

Eddies jaw drops in disbelief, evidently he isn't getting a shot after all.

Brad: "Do you think The Rock is going to give a roody poo candy ass like you
a shot at his title? The Rock says you're not fit to wipe the dog-doo from
his boots, let alone wrestle him, and he will never give you the chance to
wrestle him for the title, if you smell what The Rock is cooking."

Brad then makes his exit, belt in tow whilst Eddie stands frustratedly in the
ring.

After a quick promo for some DWF merchandise, including Chavo Guerrero Jr.
slippers and Doug Furnas home pregnancy testing kit, we return to the ring to
see Pretty Perfect and Dean Malenko entering for the six man tag.

The Pitbulls & Bobby Eaton vs Pretty Perfect & Dean Malenko

The big six man tag was Pretty Perfects chance to earn themselves another crack
at the tag team titles they so yearn to get back. Things were going well to
begin with as Owen Hart and Curt Hennig worked over Bobby Eaton, figuring he
was the easy option to take on. Dean Malenko had his chances to impress as well
and the former Intercontinental champion looked good in there, but it was
during his second spell in the ring that Eaton was able to duck a clothesline
to hit one of his own and finally make the tag.

Pitbull #1 was now in and set about decimating Malenko. Pretty Perfect tried
their luck too, illegally, and both Pitbulls were now in, taking it to Pretty
Perfect and unceremoniously winning, throwing both the former champions from
the ring and then hitting a huge double powerbomb to Malenko. Eaton was then
tagged back in to hit the Alabama Jam for the victory. *** 1/2

As The Pitbulls and Bobby Eaton leave, celebrating their win, Pretty Perfect
are in the ring looking dejected. Curt Hennig goes over to Dean Malenko and
helps him up, but then locks him in the Perfect Plex and drives him down to
the mat. Owen puts on the Sharpshooter and holds it on whilst Hennig kicks at
the fallen Malenko. Eventually they let him go and head to the back, but
evidently they are frustrated at yet again failing in their bid to get
themselves a title shot.

Backstage, Michael Cole is with Kurt Angle.

Cole: "Kurt Angle, next up you face Edge and the home support he'll receive
has got to be a concerning factor for you."

Angle: "Are you freaking kidding me? That buck-toothed Canadian piece of crap
is supposed to concern me? And what do I care what those inbred, illiterate
Canadians here tonight think either, I'm Kurt Angle, great American hero to
millions across the United States, the ONLY country that anyone can be proud to
live in. As far as Edge is concerned, he's nothing compared to me. I'm an
Olympic gold medallist for crying out loud, the only medal he's ever won was
first prize at a Kroff dinner eating contest, and then only because he's got
about fifty teeth in his giant mouth so he could chew quicker. I'm going to
take Edge to school and show him exactly what being a proud American athlete
is all about."

Kurt Angle vs Edge

Edge was back in his native Canada to face a man very unhappy at being here at
all, Kurt Angle.  As glorious as Edge would have liked it, it wasn't to be as
Angle ended up outclassing him on this occassion. Edge certainly did himself
some justice with his efforts but in the end is was Angle who came out on top.
Edge had blocked an attempted kick by Angle by grabbing his foot and looked
likely to take down Angle who began by pleading with him not to do the damage,
then countered by hopping in up close and grabbing Edge, hoisting him over with
the Olympic Slam and scoring the victory. Ever ingenius Kurt Angle comes off
with another win. **** 1/4

We head backstage again to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: "Greetings DWF super-fans, I'm your roving reporter Sean Mooney with
an exclusive scoop for DWF Narcotics Raid later tonight on the USA Network.
I'm here with DWF commissioner Matt Hardy before his big match with Jody
Fleisch."

Hardy: "Yeah, thanks Sean. Pop round my office later so I can thank you
properly, and bring your pink slip with you. But on to more pressing matters.
Jody Fleisch, I have waited patiently for seven months now and now seems like
a good as time as any to finish you off. You're weak Jody, you went after me
when I wasn't even around, and just because you THINK you can do a better job
than me doesn't make it so. You know what I've got planned for you? Well let
me tell you - first, I'm..."

RVD: "Duuuuude!"

On walks Rob Van Dam, probably unaware of where he is, or what's going on.

RVD: "I just wanted to thank you for giving me such a huge role in this show.
I really appreciate it dude."

Hardy: "What the hell are you doing? I thought I asked you to watch the door."

RVD: "Yeah I know, but I got hungry, like, and so y'know I found someone else to
keep watch. He's all like, dude, really energetic but he can't sing or dance."

Hardy: "Oh no... you didn't..."

Hardy quickly leaves the interview area and walks down the corridor a short
way before turning the corner and seeing at the door...

Rockabilly: "ROCKABILLY ROCKABILLY ROCKABILLY ROCKABILLY!!!"

Rockabilly is at the door doing his stupid shuffle dance whilst "singing" his
name, all the while Hunter Hearst-Helmsley stands by.

Hardy: "Hunter, I thought I told you not to bring this idiot back."

Hunter: "Oh come on Hardy, since he's been here not a single intruder has
entered the building."

Hardy: "I don't care, I'd rather a hoarde of axe wielding postmen broke in and
peppered me with gunfire than have HIM in the same building as me."

Rockabilly: "Oh come on man, I can sing, I can dance, I can wrestle..."

Hardy: "No you can't, no you can't and no you damn well can't. I've got a match
to go to now, but Hunter when I get back I want him gone."

Hardy angrily storms off.

RVD: "YEAH!!"

Van Dam also storms off, probably oblivious to why he's storming off.

We switch scenes to Michael Cole

Cole: "Steve Corino, a surprise entrant in this match, can you justify your
spot in this huge fatal fourway match."

Corino: "Absolutely, and you damn well know it. I've been the greatest TV
champion ever for a long time now, and it's time to move onto bigger things.
With the most deadly and feared finisher in the world, the skills and physique
and the legal backing to ensure that's what happens. It doesn't matter what
happens, or who I hit it on, the moment the Old School Expulsion is hit,
NOBODY, and I mean nobody, will be getting up from that. I've got three
chances to hit it out there, and I only need to do it once to win the title
and without a doubt, I will be the greatest global Television World champion
of all time, and there's not a thing any of these three wannabes is going to
be anything to do about it."

Jody Fleisch vs "Commissioner" Matt Hardy

The farce of the night came as Commissioner Matt Hardy used all his powers to
ensure Jody Fleisch didn't get a fair shake of their match at all. With Gene
Snitsky and Heidenreich at ringside frequently interjecting themselves, there
should have been a DQ within the first thirty seconds when Snitsky blatantly
tripped Fleisch right in front of the ref, only for Matt Hardy to order the
ref not to issue any disqualifications, else be fired. The poor ref was clearly
not comfortable with the situation but with his job on the line now, what else
could he do?

And thus, Hardy took the chance to obliterate Fleisch, and every time Fleisch
managed some semblence of a comeback, Hardy would call one of his bodyguards
in to take a blatant cheap shot without any attempt to hide it from the ref.
And whilst Hardy took such a cowardly approach to the match, Fleisch bravely
clung on, refusing to lie down and let Hardy win. Finally Fleisch mounted a
comeback and this time he was ready for Snitsky and Heidenreich, blasting them
both as they stepped onto the apron. Quickly, Hardy was down and Fleisch hit
the 2-8-4-7-4. Snitsky had other plans, pulling the ref out and hitting him
with a hard right, knocking him out. Heidenreich then jumped Fleisch from
behind and began stomping him down.

Hardy was back up again, revived by Snitsky. Hardy then ordered his men to
lift Fleisch up and take some shots on him, while Hardy fetched a steel chair.
And while his goons hooked Fleisch up, Hardy delivered a massive chair shot to
the cranium of Fleisch. He didn't even need to hit the Twist of Fate after
that, though he did anyway. Heidenreich threw the ref back into it and Hardy
ordered him to make the count, all the while our not-so glorious commissioner
milked every second of the three count that bought him a pathetic and utterly
disgusting victory that he did not deserve. **** 1/4

With the match over, Hardy quickly lays into the fallen Fleisch and begins
pounding away on him. Snitsky and Heidenreich quickly join the beating and
soon Fleisch is pratically out. Snitsky and Heidenreich end with their patented
fire breathing/laser bolt blasting efforts which, as far as they're concerned,
have set Fleisch on fire. Leaving him behind, we head back to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: "Hey wrestling fans, it's another hot scoop for you at DWF Canadian
Stampede, the hottest ticket in town. I'm with wrestling sensation Larry
Zbyszko and his manager the Coach. Larry, you've got a huge match with Raven
coming up."

Larry: "You know, John Cena thinks he can mess with me by getting me signed up
to face Raven, well he's sadly mistaken. I've faced tougher than Raven, I took
on Bruno Sammartino in 1980 and kicked his ass. I can take Raven because I've
beaten every big name there is to beat, including your best buddy Jerry Lynn,
I am the greatest technical wrestler on the face of the earth and I can take
Raven apart."

Coach: "YEAH! Nobody is as mean and as bad as Larry Zibiziskee. He's beaten
all the best wrestlers there are."

Larry: "And Raven, I'm going to defeat you too."

Raven vs Larry Zbyszko

One of the big matches of the night saw Larry Zbyszko potentially about to get
his once and for all at the hands of Raven, out to do away with anyone stupid
enough to mess with him right now. Larry dominated the first... oh, five
seconds or so, executing a headlock that Raven quickly wriggled out of, and
from there, most of the match was Raven. Larry had his moments though, being a
great wrestler and during his one half decent spell some way in, John Cena made
his way down to the ring to distract Larry. Raven regained the momentum and
Cena set about hanging around and eventually going after Coach.

Larry would take over again after blocking a Raven charge with an elbow, but
that lasted only a short while as Raven soon reversed a hiptoss with one of
his own, bringing Coach onto the apron. Raven was distracted, but Cena quickly
grabbed Coach and delivered a rather painful looking wedgie - well, he IS evil
I suppose. Using the distraction, Larry executed a cheap lowblow to Raven, but
while the ref was out dealing with Coach, Cena came in and grabbed Zbyszko,
nailing the Eighth Deadly Sin.

Now the ref, having dealt with Coach, had to deal with Cena - though as he'd
seen nothing happen, he didn't issue any DQ's, but he did have to usher Cena
from the ring. And whilst this was going on, Don Muraco came out, picked up
Raven who was about to make the cover, and gave him a huge chokeslam, before
pulling Zbyszko on top. The ref came back in and counted the three, and Larry
Zbyszko had scored a huge upset. ****

As Larry exits the ring, dazed and confused but celebrating a shock victory,
it isn't long before Raven comes round and knowing what's happened, makes a
quick exit himself to find Don Muraco. But Muraco has long since left the
ringside area. None the less, a determined Raven gives chase anyway as we head
back to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Sean O'Haire, Brian Pillman, up next you two face former tag team
champions the Rock'n'Roll Express in a rematch from your recent clash where..."

Pillman: "Why do you need to give us the details Cole - face it, we left those
pretty boy punks laying, choking on the contents of their stomachs and tonight
we'll finish the job and kill those son of a bitch bastards once and for all."

O'Haire: "Now hang on a minute Brian, let's not go overboard on this one. Yes,
we plan to do harsh things to them. After all, what else can be said about a
pair still looking like they're right out of the 1980's, clearly clinging on to
better days gone by. But they're a great team whom I'm sure we BOTH have a lot
of respect for, right Brian?"

Brian sneers sickiningly, not saying a word.

O'Haire: "Right. See, we're the ideal team, a combination of brains, power,
skill, speed and a desire to win. Sure the Rock'n'Roll Express are flashy, but
they're not a team for the new generation, and I can safely say that tonight,
Psychoanalysis will show you exactly what I'm talking about."

Psychoanalysis (c) vs The Rock'n'Roll Express (tag team champions)

The tag titles were on the line tonight with Psychoanalysis taking on the
Rock'n'Roll Express, all hopes being that this time we'd get a decisive win.
And we did, sort of. Psychoanalysis certainly bought their 'A' game with
O'Haire bringing a beautifully controlled offence whilst Pillman was his
typically violent self. Morton and Gibson found themselves hard pressed to hang
on but used every ounce of their tag team talent to work together and finally
when the hot tag was made to Robert Gibson, they were able to keep Brian
Pillman in their corner.

Things soon broke down and all four men were in the ring. Psychoanalysis were
winning that one and with Gibson down, O'Haire was on top for the Seanton Bomb,
only for Ricky Morton to come across and trip him, causing O'Haire to crotch
himself painfully on the top turnbuckle. The ref ushered him out, allowing
Pillman to produce a chair from nowhere and hit Gibson with it whilst Gibson
was clambering to his feet. O'Haire seemingly missed it, still hurting, but
pulled himself up and hit the Seanton Bomb for the victory. *** 3/4

As O'Haire celebrates, perhaps not knowing how exactlythe win came about,
Pillman picks up the chair he just used and waffles Robert Gibson a second time.
Before he can lay into him again, O'Haire pulls it off him and throws it aside.
Pillman glowers at him, O'Haire glowers back, before they slowly but surely
leave the ring, all the while keeping their gaze firmly locked on one another.
Backstage we go to Michael Cole and Chris Jericho.

Cole: "Chris Jericho, finally a chance to once again be heavyweight champion of
the world but you have to go through three of the best to do it."

Jericho: "Big deal Mitch, I went through two people to win it the first time
and throwing in an extra man isn't going to make a difference to me. Sure, we
have the big bad Den Muraco who makes up for about ten men, but I'm not worried
because for all his brawn, he's really really dumb. As far as Steve Corino goes,
he might have this great finisher but if you think I'm going to back down from
the biggest dorkus malorkus is wrestling, you can think again chump. Dynamite
Kid I have a lot of respect for, but respect doesn't mean jack, Jack, when I've
got a chance to be the champion again. These guys don't realise they're
stepping in there with the baddest, rockingest specimen of a man in the DWF
and I will be, once again, the DWF world champion guarenteed."

Back at ringside, La Resistance make their entrance for Rene Duprees up coming
match. This time, they're parading huge Maple Leaf flags and a carrier bag
no doubt containing some crap that'll take five minutes to explain. And sure
enough, Rene grabs a mic.

Dupree: "Great friends of Canada, we feel a little bad about the last time we
were here in your great country, so we wanted to come and show you what sort of
people we really are by becoming honourary Canadians for the night."

Dupree pulls something out of the bag.

Grenier: "See, this is our new favourite meal, Kroff dinner, and while we were
eating it, we were listening to THIS... the new Alanis Morissette LP."

Dupree: "Yes, we had to buy the LP, because the CD hasn't quite reached Canada
yet, but that's alright in our eyes. And then we spent the afternoon playing
our new favourite sport."

Dupree yanks out a lacrosse stick.

Grenier: "Yes, we spent all afternoon playing your lacrosse and we love you
Canadians for it. But what's the game all... ABOOT!"

Dupree: "Ahahaha, I'm sure these Canucks love our little jibes at them. But
really we would consider ourselves proud Canadian citizens any time, and for
you, we have for one night only, dedicated our French Tickler dance to you and
called it..."

Dupree/Grenier: "THE IGLOO DANCE!"

And sure enough, they do their stupid dance until Lance Storms music kicks in,
bringing about a relieved cheer from the crowd. Storm hasn't come alone either,
bringing tag team partner Ken Shamrock with him to watch his back. Storm quickly
dives into the ring and goes right for Dupree, getting this match underway.

Lance Storm vs Rene Dupree

Lance Storm had a successful homecoming over Rene Dupree, scoring a quick and
decisive victory to go someway to gaining revenge after La Resistance had
beaten The Syndicate for the tag team titles. Storm barely let Dupree get out
of the blocks and Duprees brief spell a few minutes in where he dodged Lance
Storm charging into the corner did nothing to aid him as Storm was soon back
in it, throwing Dupree around with ease. Grenier tried to jump in, but Ken
Shamrock on the outside pulled him away, and Storm quickly pulled Dupree down
and locked in the Maple Leaf for an easy win. On this night in Canada, Dupree
stood no chance. ***

As Lance Storm celebrates his victory, proudly waving one of La Resistances
Maple Leafs, we go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Don Muraco, coming up next your biggest challenge as champion to date as
you face three of the best the DWF has to offer."

Muraco: "If THIS is the best the DWF has to offer, I can say with all
confidence that I'm going to be champion a long, long time. Not one of the
DWFs finest looks even remotely capable of beating me for this title. Not
Chris Jericho, not Steve Corino and certainly not the Dynamite Kid whose
already felt what it's like trying to take this belt away from me."

Jeff: "And to commemorate such a huge victory, I've written a special December
time haiku...

"Y2J sucks bad
Corino Dynamite too
My face paint glows bright."

Muraco and Cole glance nervously at one another.

Muraco: "Yeah, compared to me, these guys certainly do 'suck', but I know what
the gameplan is going to be from them - triple team. Well bring it on, because
not even the three of you together can work on bringing me down, and tonight
will be my finest hour as I walk out still the heavyweight champion of the
world."

Cole: "And what of your interference in Ravens match earlier?"

Muraco: "I see Raven as a threat - not on his own when he's wrestling me, but
when I'm wrestling someone else and he tries to stick his nose where it doesn't
belong. Well Raven, I eliminated you, just like I eliminated Jerry Lynn and just
like I'm about to eliminate the three fools I'm taking on right now, just you
see."

Elsewhere Raven is being detained by DWF officials, as Matt Hardy, along with
Snitsky and Heidenreich walk over. Raven looks a little battered after earlier,
but still with a lot of fight left in him.

Hardy: "Now Raven, let me make this clear - do NOT think about intefering in
this match. If you so much as sneeze in the direction of the ring, I will have
you fired from the DWF permanently. In fact, security, take this guy out of the
building and don't let him back in."

Three big security guards come over and try to grab Raven, who quickly shrugs
them off.

Raven: "Don't worry Hardy, I'm going, but let Don Muraco know that he has truly
sealed his fate now."

Raven walks off, while the security follow him.

Snitsky: "Shall I BURN HIM?!?"

Hardy: "No Gene, let's just go and make sure nobody else gets involved in this
one."

As they walk off, we hit the ring one last time.

Don Muraco (c) vs Dynamite Kid vs Chris Jericho vs Steve Corino (world heavyweight title)

The big match of the evening ended up being perhaps the best fourway the DWF
has ever seen with each man staking a genuine claim that they could have won
this one. Muracos initial worry, based on his pre-match interview, was that the
others would triple team him and that lasted all of about thirty seconds before
the back stabbing started with Corino taking a cheap shot low on the Dynamite
Kid. And so everyone paired off, every so often switching partners though it
was clear nobody was in a desperaye rush to take on Muraco unless they had
someone else to help out.

Still, Dynamite Kid, as he did last month, has able to have a modicum of
success against the Hawaiian monster and when he suddenly had Muraco reeling,
Chris Jericho, who had left Corino in a heap, came out to help and with a
little schoolboy, was able to take down Muraco after one Dynamite Kid punch too
many. Jericho had him nicely cradled up only for Dynamite to inevitably break
up the fall - could Jericho have taken the pin there? Muraco will maintain
that he could have kicked out but we wouldn't know as Dynamite and Jericho
tussled for the first time in the match.

That little match-up was quite the contest as they slugged in out fiercely,
with Jericho seemingly winning it. Corino meanwhile was trying his luck with
the fallen Muraco but with only a one count, Corino make a quick escape to take
a breather and get away from the champions clutches. And with Muraco back in
the contest, the others had to quickly regroup again to find a way to take him
out of the frame. Corino meanwhile spent his time out finding ways to cheat
rampantly, removing turnbuckle pads and trying to smuggle any weapons around
ringside into the ring. He would soon join the fray again when Muraco was back
in control to pick off anyone who was down.

Still, Muraco couldn't stay on top forever and after Dynamite sorted Corino
out again, they were back to work on Muraco. Dynamite and Jericho began some
effective double teaming and started hitting him with double clotheslines - the
one tactic proven to work well against Muraco. And sure enough, one final big
launch by the two sent Muraco falling from the ring, before Jericho landed the
first shot on Dynamite and the two were back at it. Dynamite began to take over
and had him reeling in the corner. An Irish whip attempt to the opposite
corner was reversed by Jericho and Dynamite smacked into one of the unprotected
corners that Corino had dealt with.

Jericho spotted his chance and delivered a forward Russian legsweep that put
Dynamite down hard. Quick as a flash he ran up to the ropes for his patented
Lionsault move, but as his feet hit the second rope, Steve Corino was back in
and grabbed him by the back of the head - OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION! Taking the move
in that manner was far too much for Jericho to take. Again though Corino only
got a one count as Muraco was back in, picking up Corino and throwing him
through the ropes before calmly making the cover himself to retain the title.
Sure enough, he'd won the match but perhaps this one had been a bit too close
for comfort. *****

I've skimmed through this card, and it's good from what I'e seen.  My girlfriend has been here for a few days (she lives 2000 miles away, so we don't get to see each other a lot) which is why I've all but been gone from here.  I will feedback you soon.  Also, for anyone else I owe feedback, send me a private message and I'll get to it soon.  I know I owe you, Eric, amongst others.

Oh man, you have to be the funniest interview writer on this board! Seriously, I'm here at work and I'm having the hardest time containing my laughter after reading the Juvi interview and the Matt Hardy/RVD/Rockabilly backstage segment. Great stuff. Even worse is that I'm eating lunch and laughing at the same time, which is dangerous you know.

RVD security guard!  Yay!

Cruiserweight battle royal was good for what it is.  I had a hunch that Kid Kash would win, and I'm not exactly sure why.

Rey-Rey beats Eddie in a good match, and Brad Armstrong continues to be one of the most creative and interesting characters I've ever seen in a circuit.  If people are only familiar with him here, yeah, he seems like a Rock impersonator, but it's such a fantastic path he's been on.  I want to see Brad Sidstrong again!

The six-man was decent, but really seemed like just filler.  Pretty Perfect kicks Malenko's ass afterwards, but for some reason I don't anticipate Malenko really retaliating.

Good victory for Angle.  It seems like only a matter of time before he's a permanent fixture in the World Title scene.

I love you for bringing back Rockabilly.  Now let us make sweet sweet online overseas internet wrestling man love.

Oh that evil Matt Hardy and his super-villain squad!  This seems like a feud that needs a culmination soon.

Wow, Raven took quite the beating, didn't he?  Muraco's weakness could end up being that he's spreading himself too thin, trying to get a little bit of everybody.

Very surprised to see Pillman/O'Haire retain.  I thought it was a sure loss for them tonight. This has been an awesome build... when these two finally break up, the match will be awesome.

Yay La Resistance.  Yay Lance Storm.  Boo Intercontinental Tag Team Titles.

Good main event, right man retaind, although it made Muraco look a bit weak that he didn't pick up the win himself but merely got the table scraps.

Great show.  I missed me some DWF.

HugeRockStar - cheers muchly for the praise. Mind you, I have had three months to come up with something. ;)

Snabbit - good to see you kicking around again. Not sure about the idea of making sweet man wrestling love - maybe if GCW hires The Genius though...
