Welcome to the ASWA once again coming to
you on PPV!  Tonight we're coming to you
from the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center
in Alabama and we've got what we hope to
be an exciting line up of matches planned
for you.  We're fresh off of our visit
south of the border two weeks ago and what
a night that was.  Tonight we'll start off
with a 4-way dance featuring Steven Richards,
Jimmy Jacobs, the man Jimmy defeated two
weeks ago in Tijuana: Kanyon, and a new
debuting wrestler who we'll be meeting shortly.
We'll see Shark Boy, who was quite impressive
lately, will take on Gran Akuma, Jon Dahmer will
be in action against "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Todd
Sexton will once again be facing former friend
Seth Skyfire in singles action, the man that
shocked everyone by answering Vader's challenge
two weeks ago, Batista, will team up with Brian
Adams to take on Vader and the Warlord, Hector
Garza will face former Great American champion
Sylvain Grenier, C.W. Anderson & Tony Mamaluke of
the Hardcore Revolution will be in action against
the team of Kevin Nash and Roadkill, Booker T
will face Ultimo Dragon, Sting will face former
Heavyweight champion Bret Hart in a #1 Contender's
match, Rey Misterio Jr. will have his first Great
American title defense against Chase Stevens,
Buck Quartermain, Jeff Farmer and Big Show of the
Scorpions will wrestle three former title holders
in the Caribbean Cartel and Gronda, Palumbo
and Stamboli will have their first title defense
as well tonight as commissioner Jesse Ventura has
decided to team up Scott Norton and Christopher
Nowinski, how anyone could think these two could
function as a team is a mystery, but it should
make for an interesting match.  And finally in
the main event, the current #1 Contender the Big
Show will take on Cactus Jack for the Heavyweight
title!

The ring announcer introduces the newest ASWA star
after Richards, Jacobs and Kanyon have been announced...
IT'S CHRISTIAN!  Christian comes down to the ring with
his usual smug smirk and throwing shout outs to his peeps.
Christian snatches the microphone away from the ring announcer
on the outside before getting in the ring.

Christian: It's good to be here in the ASWA.  You four trolls
will be a good warm up for me.  This one is goin' out to all
my peeps in 'bama bitch.

Four Corners Match:
Kanyon defeated Jimmy Jacobs, Stevie Richards and Christian when Kanyon pinned Christian after a German suplex in 0:08:06.
Rating: ***

Kanyon wanted at Jimmy Jacobs every chance
he got.  He obviously still is fuming
about the loss he suffered to Jacobs two
weeks ago in Mexico.  Christian put on a
good performance, but everytime he had a
chance to end it he took too much time
bragging and enticing boos from the crowd.
In the end Jacobs had amazingly been able
to happy get the upper hand over Christian,
but Kanyon saw an opportunity and took it,
tagging himself in to take the win away
from Jacobs and get the glory for himself.

Shark Boy and Ultimo Dragon had a great
showing two weeks ago defeating two members
of the Scorpions.  This week however Shark
Boy didn't have the same luck.   Gran Akuma
however managed to get a win, which has
become a rare occurance since he was forced
to enter singles compitition.

Rating: * 1/4

It looked like Piper was going to get the
win after a rake to the face and a hand
full of tights, but Dahmer kicked out.
Even after the kick out Piper remained
confident that a win was only seconds away
and dropped his guard just enough for
Dahmer to counter his vertical suplex
attempt with a small package.  Piper
couldn't believe what happened after the
match.

something Sexton has been waiting for ever
since he was attacked by Skyfire and Seth's
then partner Romeo Roselli several months ago.

Rating: -* 1/4

Wow... just... wow.  I don't think the
fans have EVER really seen Batista be
that brutal.  He pulled away the thin
layer of padding around the ring, which
doesn't offer much in the way of protection
anyway and gave the Warlord not one not two,
but THREE Demon Bombs on the concrete!  Warlord
has NEVER been manhandled like that.  Even
Vader seemed a little taken aback as to
what Batista was capable of.  After the
fans recovered from their shock they went
bat shit for Batista, who got a smirk on
his face as he looked in Vader's direction
while the ref finished the ten count.
Vader didn't even bother to push Warlord
back into the ring or attack Batista.  He
just stood there and stared.  One thing we
can be almost positive of is that Vader
isn't scared of Batista.  Brutallity is not
something you can use to make Vader turn
tail and run.  But he most definitely did
NOT think Batista was capable of that.

and quite a few chants of "GARZA! GARZA"
when he was on the receiving end.

in 0:10:05.
Rating: **

Anderson & Mamaluke did a good job of
keeping Roadkill isolated after he got
into the ring.  He only got close to
tagging out a few times.  Anderson almost
got himself DQed, but let go of a choke
at the last second and hit a big
spinebuster on a big man to get the win.

Rating: ***

After the match Dragon celebrates a little
before helping Booker to his feet.  He
extends a hand for a handshake and Booker
accepts it and raises Dragon's hand.  The
fans cheer both men and after a bit of
celebrating Booker does a spinerooni and
tries to get Ultimo to do one.  He tries
and kind of does one.  The fans enjoy the
show.

Stacy Keibler is in the back in the interview
area with an ASWA reporter.

Reporter: Miss Keibler, it seems that the Scorpions
have fallen on some hard times as of late, do you
think they can turn things around for themselves?

Stacy Keibler: The Scorpions may be down, but they
are not out.  We may not have the Great American
title or the tag titles anymore, but those four
men are still great atheletes and still have the
drive and heart and the fan support to be able
to capture all of the titles in the ASWA.  Not
only does Sting have a #1 contender's match tonight
against the man who is arguably his biggest rival
in the ASWA, but the Big Show will be facing Cactus
Jack in the main event for the Heavyweight title.
Cactus may be hardcore, but the Big Show is a mammoth
of a man and it's hard for anyone to take him down,
hardcore or not.  

R: Are you guaranteeing wins for all the Scorpions
tonight?

SK: I'm not in the business of guaranteeing wins.
All I can say is that they've got all the tools they
need to win, as you've seen sometimes things just
don't end up in your favor, but I believe in these
guys and I believe that they can win their matches
and that tonight will be a turning point for the
Scorpions.

with the Scorpion Deathlock no less.
Now Sting is the #1 contender for the
Heavyweight title currently held by Cactus
Jack, though after tonight he could end up
having to face fellow Scorpion the Big Show
in his title match.

(Rey Misterio Jr. retained the ASWA Great American Championship title.)

A good showing.  Misterio was on the
offensive a lot during the match.  Stevens
had a bit of offense as well, but could
never quite come close to actually winning.

We're shown the Scorpions locker room where
Farmer, Show, and Quartermain are getting
ready for their match as Stacy puts the
finishing touches on her make up.  Sting
comes in.

Sting: I just got back from talking to
Commissioner Ventura and he's agreed to
let me take your place in the 6-man tag
match Big Show.

Big Show: What?  I can wrestle in that
match.

S: No Show, I want you to have all your
energy conserved for the main event.  You
need to be able to give Cactus 100% and
bring that title home.

BS: *sigh* Yeah, you're right.  I should
be at the top of my game for my title shot.

S: Come on guys, let's show everyone that
the Scorpions are still the most dominant
stable in the ASWA!

Rating: -1/2*

Gronda spent most of the match on the apron
due to his back injury from the Tijuana show.
Even though he didn't need to take time off
you could tell it still bothered him.
Most of his in ring time was spent on the
offensive, using brawling tactics.  Perhaps
Stacy Keibler was right in that tonight is
a turning point for the Scorpions, The Big
Shows confidence level must be high right now.

Rating: * 1/2
(Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli retained the ASWA Tag Team Championship titles.)

Nowinski & Norton did NOT make a good team
as neither wanted to partner with the other
and it really showed.  It seems that even
with all the singles wins Nowinski holds
over Norton that he is still a bit afraid
of him and was always hesitant to tag out
or in because of it.  Norton was also not
happy about having to team with his rival
who holds three singles wins over him in
ASWA.  He was also not happy that Nowinski
left him high and dry towards the end of
the match even though the ASWA tag team
titles were on the line.

Well, the Big Show couldn't get the job
done against Cactus, but the Scorpions have
another chance at getting it done lined up
with Sting being the #1 Contender.  The PPV
fades out with Cactus Jack celebrating in
the ring over the still down Big Show and
daring Sting to "Take his title away"

- Following Cactus' non-title match, he'll defend his title in a 4-corners match in which he has guaranteed victory so that he is the one Sting will face in his title shot.  The 4-corners match will feature Ron Killings, Christian and another mysterious new comer that is said will make a phenominal impact on the ASWA.

- But that's not all, Cactus Jack has volunteered to wrestle a THIRD match!  It will feature the Hardcore Revolution and special guest Raven wrestling the Demonauts in their big reunion teaming with special guests King Kong Bundy, Nathan Jones and Kamala in a 10-man tag team I quit match.

- Finally it has JUST been officially signed (and the ink is still wet) that Batista and Bret Hart will face off in the main event in a two out of three falls match!
