PANKRATION (All Powers) PPV

Introducing the announce team for this evening: Gordon Solie, Matt Striker & MSDCue event theme song:
BCCW presents...
Pankration: All Powers [/color][/size]
That's part of the series of Internet videos Dr. Jerry Graham released during another one of his stints in Walpole prison (to keep his name buzzing during his incarceration). He had just enough time to fulfill his promotional duties for BCCW (filming housekeeping vignettes for YouTube and taking pictures of his and Aksana's humiliating role as Hot Stuff Incs personal assistants - stipulation of their match at "FIGHT the POWER") before his incarceration. After his release, he started touring with Rob Zombie as a sideshow attraction during his rock concerts. Somewhat of an expert in hypnosis, which he sometimes incorporated into his wrestling act, Dr Jerry Graham used the stage name of Dr. Zombie and did stunts like putting a 150-pound block of ice on 90-pound Aksana's stomach and then breaking it in two with a 16-pound sledgehammer – without hurting her. The impressive tour-deforce performances earned massive hit spikes on YouTube and led to the BCCW fanbase basically booking Graham in a title match themselves (the appeal of his act demanded it). Suffice to say, Dolph Ziggler was not pleased about once again having his shine tarnished by a circus sideshow act - while HE continues to reign as Million $$$ champion. His frustration has become palpable. [/color]
1) DOLPH ZIGGLER versus DR. JERRY GRAHAM (w/ Aksana)
(Million $$$ Championship)[/size][/color]
versus
Dr. Jerry Graham and Aksana receive an astounding amount of cheers, while Dolph Ziggler plays the scorned champion to an exaggerated extent (fanning the crowds hostility even further). Ziggler even gets caught in a sleeper hold by Graham to great anticipation. But in the end, Ziggler displays far too much power, aggression and agility for the ring-savvy Jerry Graham to compete. Ziggler seals the deal with the Zig-Zag, and wonders if you don't recognize who's the MAN yet? Dolph flosses with the Million $$$ belt while Graham and a dejected Aksana recuperate outside the ring.
Winner (and STILL Million $$$ champion): DOLPH ZIGGLER ________________________________________________________
2) CODY RHODES & NAOMI NIGHT versus FOCUS [/size][/color]
versus
Cody Rhodes, on a new plateau after his grueling "First Blood" war at "FIGHT the POWER", leads the match. Cody wanted to get to the Machiavellian leader of FOCUS David Otunga, but Otunga's unrestrained animal-off-the-leash DC Drake stands in the way. Glam rock goddess Naomi Night earns the rub with her association, but serves mostly to put over the brutality and domination of Bull Nakano. This allows Cody to build anticipation on the outside for the hot tag before all hell breaks loose and everybody gets involved. Interplay between Rhodes and Otunga leads to Cody outsmarting the FOCUS leader and planting DC Drake with a Cross-Rhodes for the pin.
Winners: CODY RHODES & NAOMI NIGHT FOCUS instantly regain heat with a postmatch beatdown on the victorious duo of Rhodes and Night. DC Drake - incorrigible madman that he is - destroys Rhodes with a steel chair and Nakano crushes him with a top rope somersault legdrop. They begin to set up Naomi Night for the same, when SUDDENLY - They're interrupted by "I'm Not a Star" (by Rick Ross)...
Enter WWW champion
ALOISIA the AMAZON!!! Aloisia the Amazon kicks through a steel chair assault from Drake - making Otunga flee - leaving a brief climatic moment for Nakano and Aloisia to have their first stare down. A wild brawl breaks out! Walls of security attempt to separate the two opponents to no avail! Finally, Rhodes attains DC Drake's chain and swings it wildly about, clearing the ring and forcing FOCUS to regroup. _________________________________________________________
HAYSTACKS CALHOUN versus ONE MAN GANG
($15,000 Body Slam Challenge)[/size]
versus
This feud involves two men who consider themselves to be the one true giant of pro wrestling. OMG and Haystacks Calhoun fought all over the BCCW promotional circuit, in online videos and personalized blog attacks to determine who the real giant of wrestling is. A few weeks before this big PPV, OMG took the feud to a new level, when he and partner The Berzerker knocked out Haystacks Calhoun during an autographed signing and proceeded to cut Calhouns hair! After gaining revenge on The Berzerker backstage, Calhoun is meeting OMG tonight in a $15,000 Body Slam challenge. Haystacks Calhoun triumphantly slams OMG for the win, and to collect the $15,000 prize. The affable country boy Haystacks Calhoun then proceeded to throw cash to the fans!
Winner: HAYSTACKS CALHOUN ___________________________________________________________
4) MADMAN PONDO (w/ Jessica Darlin) versus RICHIE STEAMBOAT (w/ Missy Hyatt) [/size][/color]
versus
Trash versus Treasure. The slick "Young Dragon" Richie Steamboat (2012) continues his Bruce Lee meets James Bond rise to the top, as guided by the unstifled managerial prowess of Missy Hyatt (1987). His rise up the card is met head on by one of the most gruesome, horrifying menaces in the entire underground wrestling genre - Madman Pondo and his trailer park trash escort and former porn star Jessica Darlin. During the course of the match, it's clear Madman Pondo is no "Dean Malenko", as he would say - but he more than ably holds his own against the skillful and precise Young Dragon. They have an exciting, entertaining back-n-forth match punctuated by the antics of Missy Hyatt and Jessica Darlin outside the ring. Once more, Missy Hyatt takes out the trash and Steamboat winds up crushing Madman Pondo with a frog splash cross body block through a steel chair Pondo was wielding. 1-2-3, Hot Stuff Inc continues to torch the competition!
Winner: RICHIE STEAMBOAT (w/ Missy Hyatt = "Hot Stuff Inc")________________________________________________________
Alex Riley opens the next segment.
Carries a copy of Farmer Burns' "Lessons in Wrestling and Physical Culture". Quotes, mocks and then rips up the book - finally drawing out Farmer Burns himself, along with his Igor-assistant Bastion Booger, to great cheers. FARMER BURNS: Lesson #6. "On the other hand, do not allow anything to discourage you. Be GAME. Keep on trying. Until you are thrown both shoulders to the mat and the decision given against you, don't believe it possible for you to lose. If you get into a bad place use every strategy and effort to get away without too great an expense of strength and energy. Yet at times it will require every ounce of muscle you possess, but DO NOT GIVE UP. BE GAME. BE GAME... don't not allow a trace of "yellow" to be in your system... [/color]
Says Alex Riley's brash attitude has rubbed allot of people the wrong way, and that the time will come when he must pay for his transgressions. Beside Burns, Bastion Booger looks mad and is puffing up aggressively. Alex Riley just scoffs and mocks the fat man further for trying to look scary. Farmer Burns just shakes his head. Suddenly - Hornswoggle and Sky Low Low shoot out from under the ring and bite Riley's ass! Crowd laughs at the Varsity Villain! It's on!!! 5) ALEX RILEY versus SKY LOW LOW & HORNSWOGGLE [/size][/color]
versus
The little people perform their funny tandem antics to great crowd approval. Alex Riley, caught off-balance from the start, is easy prey. They impress you a little, and help to suspend your belief further, with a few hair-raising top rope attacks. Bastion Booger gets in a few spots before Alex Riley finally takes over. Has a few gut-wrenching moments with the midgets while taunting Farmer Burns. The antagonism goes too far, Farmer Burns on the apron to face Riley - who gets caught in a midget schoolboy roll-up for the upset! Midgets scamper away while a shocked Alex Riley comprehends the loss! Alex Riley wound up getting a streak of yellow paint on his back from the midgets postmatch as well. Farmer Burns and his crew rejoice and Farmer Burns helps lead the crowd in pro-Elysian Fields chants.
Winners: ELYSIAN FIELDS EMPORIUM _________________________________________________________
6) CRYME TYME versus USO's (w/ Tamina) [/size][/color]
versus
Cryme Tyme's exaggerated hoodlum antics are answered by the Uso's slick College-educated street swagger. Uso's image is like that of Harlem Heat meets Mean Street Posse. Crowd heat for the match is surprisingly off the charts, but then when you consider the traditional Broken City clientele it's actually not so surprising. What is shocking however, is the swerve at the end of the match. During a ref collision/double KO segment - after Tamina illegally gave the Uso's a brief numbers advantage and Cryme Tyme tried to fight back - "Sailor" Art Thomas made his entrance to a great crowd cheer!
But he actually helped the Uso's permanently regain control of the match when he interfered in their favor!!! SWERVE!!! JTG was crushed with a bearhug/suplex variant by Thomas and Shad Gaspard met the steel chair. Both of Cryme Tyme laid up for the Uso's patented triple splash post match. Sailor Art Thomas presided over the carnage and to the mic to thunderous jeers.
SAILOR ART THOMAS: Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today![/color]
(holds the Uso's arms aloft in victory) I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence!***
Cryme Tyme are a parody; an evil Minstrel show. An example of everything that is wrong, ignorant and stereotypical! The Uso's represent all that is right. SAILOR ART THOMAS: I'm for truth, no matter who tells it! I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against!*** [/color]
Winners: USO's ________________________________________________________
7)DAN SEVERN versus MITSUYO MAEDA (w/ Ken Shamrock)
(BCCW Shoot Fight) [/size][/color]
versus
JOE ROGAN: Well, I certainly think that the top judokas like Mitsuyo Maeda can translate very easily to MMA, I mean not very easily but I think it’s an excellent form of martial art to transfer to MMA with. You know much like Greco is and you know much like wrestling is like any strong grappling background, you know Masahiko Kimura he did really well and of course Mitsuyo Maeda had a great run in BCCW you know two guys who are outstanding judo players. The ability to manipulate guy’s bodies and throw them around and control them which is what Judo is all about is such an important skill for MMA. But I personally think that the very best skill for MMA is wrestling, I think that’s the number one base to come from because those guys just flat out dictate where the fight takes place. You know, a great wrestler, you get a guy in there like a Ken Shamrock or like Dan Severn you know they can just dictate what [expletive] happens. If they decide to take you to the ground, you’re going to the ground. You’re going to have to learn how to fight off your back and it’s not your strong suit. Even if you train for six hard weeks working guys off your back, the bottom is line for 10 years you’ve been training in stand-up and you’ve been training in your top game and you really haven’t put that much time into working off your back and you know six months is not going to fix you for Dan Severn. He’s going to pass your [expletive], he’s going to mount you, he’s going to beat you up, he’s going to take you down the next round and do it it all over again, so I think it’s the important skill, in my opinion. Winner: DAN SEVERN (Dragon Sleeper submission) __________________________________________________________
8) DUDLEY BOYZ versus JUN KASAI & ATSUSHI ONITA
(BCCW Tag Team championship) [/size][/color]
versus
"Sabu" = Dudley Boyz This challenge came about shortly after a Dudley Boyz promo where they touted their fluency in all aspects of tag team wrestling (from collegiate grappling to Xtreme massacres). Atsushi Onita took to the internet and wrestling airwaves to cast salt upon the Dudley Boyz names. He claims they know nothing of true hardcore wreslting, and their legacy is a fraud. Together, Onita and his apprentice (and current BCCW King of the Death Match champion) Jun Kasai will bring the pain and take the BCCW tag team belts. Actual match is everything it was billed to be. Hardcore spots, insane chemistry and expert double team spots. Ladders, tables, chairs, glass, barbed wire amongst others. Spot ends with Onita taking a 3D through a flaming table for the pinfall. Dudley Boyz reign supreme in a river full of crimson.
Winners (and STILL BCCW tag team champions): DUDLEY BOYZ But before the Dudz can truly rejoice in their victory, a massive man hops up onto the ring apron and distracts them. Who is this wise guy? Why, it’s Big Sal E. Graziano!!! What’s he doin’ hea???
But his appearance is just a distraction – from behind the Dudz are jumped by two Mafiaso hitmen! On commentary, Matt Striker immediately recognizes the pair of assailants – it’s Tony Altomare & Lou Albano – THE SICILIANS!!!
They beat the ever-loving crap out of the Dudley Boyz to massive boos. They then link up in a display of Mafia brotherhood and celebrate over the bodies of their fallen foes. The Sicilians pose with the BCCW tag team belts. Oh my! _________________________________________________________

9) JOHN CENA versus SHEAMUS [/color]
versus
Winner: JOHN CENA _________________________________________________________
HULK HOGAN (1987) versus BATISTA (2008) versus
"Oakland" = Broken City
"Brutus Beefcake" = Batista
"Greg the Hammer Valentine" = Strangler Lewis
"Johnny Valiant" = The Grand WizardAwesome main event match, with the Hogan riding the crescendo of Hulkamania to it's peak and Batista supplying the new-school mix-n-match shoot fighter hybrid. Submissions, suplexes and ground-and-pound are the call of the day with Hulk Hogan once again able to procure the victory after a heroic Hulk-Up routine (but not before the spot of the night, when Batista countered a Hogan legdrop into a crippling kneebar on Hogan's already damaged appendage). Hogan gets the victory, but Batista still comes off as the deepest, most dangerous threat of the Hulkster's entire career.
Winner: HULK HOGAN ________________________________________________________
