PH: Ladies, and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the Owner and Operator of the biggest professional wrestling company that has ever been seen. I am the man that is changing the very landscape of this business. I am right here tonight in the heart of New York City tonight for one reason. To announce that right here tonight is going to be a night that will stand the test of time. We don't did a voiceover job to hype this show, cause the people are already excited. We sold out this arena the very next day after I announced we were going to be in place that EXTREME built. Tonight we may not be ECW, but let me tell each and every person that can hear what I am saying. We are going to get Extreme tonight. We don't need chairs, blood, or any of that to get Extreme cause when you look out there in that sea of people you see what makes us different, and makes us stand out from the rest. We let the people have a voice. Tonight Enemies will have to work together, and friends will also have to face each other. This is BattleBowl! As a famous singer once said....Welcome To The Jungle.....Now You're Gonna DIE!
Event: WCW Presents The BattleBowl
Date: 06-22-2014
Announcers: Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura
Backstage: Todd Grisham
Location: HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM in New York City!
Population : SELL OUT CROWD 18,069!
JR: Jess we are here live in the Hammerstein Ballroom, and we are live for BATTLEBOWL!
Jesse: Ross, I have been waiting for this night for ever since Paul Heyman announced it. I can't wait anything can happen, and not only do we have BattleBowl, but Shawn Michaels defends the title against Bret Hart.
JR: Jess, I know this crowd may not be the biggest crowd we have had in the past, but I have to say the electricty that is in this building you would think that we had 100,000 people in here.
Jesse: You can fake the numbers and say you have so many people, but one thing you can't fake is the electricty that is in this building.
JR: Let's head to the back where Todd Grisham is standing by with....wait a minute....that's Mr.Perfect!
Curt: What's the matter you seem surprised to see me Ross.
Todd: I don't think anyone expected you to be here. We haven't seen you for a few months.
Curt: Well it's no secret. I haven't been the most healthy in the past few months. The doctors have said my back is in really bad shape and they may have to look into surgery, and if that's the case. This could be the end of my in ring duties as a performer.
Todd: I am sorry to hear that Curt, but what brings you out here.
Curt: What brings me out here. We are here live on Pay Per View in the Hammerstein Ballroom, and we all know that if you want your Pay Per View to be Perfect than you have to have somebody like Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig on the program. I am here to help you through tonight and hopefully you don't suck it up tonight Grisham.
Todd: Well in any case let's get our first match on the way!
{We see the tumbler begin to spin. Curt stops the tumbler and pulls out the first four names. He gives two to Todd, and two to himself. We see the camera split into two locker rooms. The faces and the heels are split up.}
Curt: Oh boy! This is why I love BattleBowl!
Todd: JR, I am going to borrow a line from you and say "Business is about to pick up!"
BattleBowl Qualifying Match
Roman Reigns and Chris Benoit(2004) vs Rick Steiner and The Road Dogg!
{This is what Battlebowl is all about! Road Dogg comes out last and instantly has words with Rick Steiner. The new tag team champion and the former champion are having serious issues here trying to work as a team. Reigns and Benoit never speak one word to each other, and both men are just vicious in the ring. Benoit is litteraly just like a Rabid Wolverine as he is tearing apart Rick Steiner. Road Dogg won't tag into the match. Rick catches a break when Benoit starts aruging with Road Dogg. Rick uses this time to tag in Road Dogg! He doesn't want in but Benoit brings him in the hard way. Road Dogg is pleading for mercy but instead he gets some vicious chops. Benoit tags in Reigns he enters the ring, and just demolishes Road Dogg SPEAR! 1....2....3! Roman Reigns and Chris Benoit are moving on to Battlebowl! No words being said between the two, as they both go different directions. Reigns through the crowd and Benoit up the ramp!}
JR: Talk about anything can happen.
Jesse: Two men that hate each other. I can't say that I am shocked they lost that match.
Todd: What about that showing! Roman Reigns and that Spear is a very deadly combo.
Curt: I wonder how many people are already changing their picks to win who is going to win Battlebowl after seeing that performance from Roman Reigns!
{The tumbler starts spinning here, and as it does we see JBL come up to the scene. He stops the tumbler himself, and draws two names from it. He looks at Todd and tells him to read it!}
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
JBL and CM Punk vs THE POWERS OF PAIN!
Talk about Paul Heyman and JBL working together to try and screw Punk out of Battlebowl! The Powers of Pain come straight down the ramp and they are all business. JR is pushing that these two men are wanting to send a message to Ryback and he makes mention that this is basically a 3 on 1 with CM Punk the odd man out. JBL makes his grand entrance with his stretch limo and you can see him smiling and he is in a good mood here, as the odds are not in the favor of CM Punk here tonight. CM Punk though isn't going to let it bother him though. CM Punk wants Battlebowl! He is on a quest right now and this is going to be one of his toughest battles, but CM Punk is going to do whatever it takes to get back on top of the mountain. Nobody is shocked by this but CM Punk is going to start things out here with The Warlord. They go back and forth but CM Punk has been training hard for this and gets the upperhand against not just The Warlord but both of them. JBL though tags himself into the match and instantly lays down to be covered by The Warlord! 1......broken up by Punk. Here comes the arguing. Punk and JBL are going at here. The Warlord and Barbarian don't know what to do. So they just watch. CM Punk gets back on the apron and tags himself in. JBL though is pissed and has seen enough. As Punk goes for The Warlord. JBL bounces off the ropes. CM Punk moves out of the way and CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL TO THE WARLORD! JBL is shocked about just happen and The Barbarian is PISSED! He goes after JBL who is running away from him. CM Punk though looks out to the crowd ELBOW DROP FROM THE TOP ROPE! 1.....2....3!!! CM PUNK IS GOING TO BATTLEBOWL! JBL HAS JUST LOST HIS WCW TITLE SHOT!
JR: Can you believe it Jess! CM Punk is going to BattleBowl!
Jesse: JBL, should have got his team DQ'd, or counted out! He didn't have to wrestle. I don't understand it Ross.
JR: Pride got the best of him!
Jesse: Well just like that Ross, we now have 1/4 of the field set for Battlebowl!
{We head to the back where we see a live feed of Paul Heyman's office during the CM Punk match. You can see that Paul is losing it in his office. He pushes his TV to the floor causing it to break everywhere. Paul is pissed and it looks like he is running out of options! From here we head back to Todd and Curt Hennig who are the tumbler, and this time they have a special guest! It's "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!}
Todd: Dusty Rhodes! What's brings you out here.
Dusty: Todd, my main man! I am here tonight for a special reason. See, I wasn't lucky enough to get to participate in The Battlebowl this year, but The American Dream is here tonight to get this party started. We are in New York City, and they don't like the common man that much around here, but tonight we are going boogie on down like we were back down South! Battlebowl is a big night where stars can be made! A WCW World's Heavyweight Title Shot is on the line! We already have four men selected and we already have another packing up those bags early and finding the next flight to Georgia! The American Dream is here tonight to announce that live this Monday on Nitro! He is coming back home! You say well Dusty Rhodes you already came back once, and you are right I did already comeback before, but this time I am going to make a special announcement! This is The American Dream's final tour around the world! Now don't get sad on me now, but just here Dusty Rhodes out! I have done it all in this sport, I have spilt my blood in all 50 States, I have wrestled in more countries than more people even get to visit. I have held championships with many men, but the one thing that I want to do before I bid that final farewell...I want to hold The WCW Tag Team Championships with my Son! Cody...I know that you aren't here tonight cause you are on your honeymoon with that sweet princess of yours, but Tomorrow Night....live on TNT! Come out here to the ring and give me your answer! Cody, I know that I can't do what I used to, and I know that it's hard but you might have to carry your old man, but Cody I am willing to lay it all on the line. Come out here Tomorrow Night on TNT, and let's make history Cody!
Todd: Can you believe that Curt?
Hennig: I guess we just have to wait, if I was Cody Rhodes I wouldn't do it. I would tell my old man to hit the streets and that I am running the show now. I hope that's what Cody does if he has a brain that's what will happen tomorrow night on Nitro!
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
Ryback and Sting vs Evan Bourne and Bart Gunn!
{This one just really fair on paper, but the big story is that Sting isn't here! His music is blasting but Sting is nowhere to be found. Ryback is going to have do this alone tonight. He comes into the ring but partner or not partner he doesn't care! He is on a mission! A mission of DESTRUCTION! Ryback comes into the ring and instantly with out hesitation Bart Gunn pushes Evan Bourne right into a MEATHOOK CLOTHESLINE! Ryback makes Bourne do a back flip it hit him so hard! Ryback points at Bart Gunn who wants nothing to do with Ryback and walks away. Ryback looks at Bourne and just turns him around and covers him. 1....2....3! Ryback will move on and so will Sting, but the story here is that Sting is still nowhere to be found! What is going on with Sting!
JR: Who can stop Ryback!
Jesse: I don't know Ross! I really don't know, but I will say this though, Ryback may be able to stop people in a match, but I wonder how he will fair in a Battle Royal type atmosphere!
{Todd and Curt pull out the next four names, and both men seem shocked about what we are about to see. Todd doesn't utter a word, but Curt looks at the camera with the names in his hand and says.}
Curt: Now this is PERFECT!
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
Kurt Angle and The Rock vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose!
{This is why Battlebowl is most unpredictable show you will ever see! Kurt Angle and The Rock two men that despise each other will have to team up to face a unit that we don't know can be stopped in The Sheild! They come out first through the crowd like always. Roman Reigns who qualified earlier is standing on the outside of the ring as Rollins and Ambrose are in the ring and they are pacing waiting for their opponents. Here comes Kurt Angle he comes down the ramp but he doesn't go all the way. He stops and when he does "IF YA SMELLL....WHAT THE ROCK....IS COOKIN!" it echos through the arena and here comes The Rock! He runs down the ramp but it's right into Kurt Angle. They are nose to nose, and as they are Ambrose and Rollins look at each other and they synch their dives and take out both men at the same time! The Rock and Angle are actually going to work this match out together it looks like! We get a very solid tag team match here. The Rock and Angle are putting it aside for one night as the gold is what they want and neither will let the other stop that goal. The Rock is getting worked over in the corner of The Sheild as they are tagging in and out a lot to keep both men fresh. Angle is begging for a tag. Rollins comes off the ropes with a springboard crossbody, but The Rock somehow positions himself under Rollins and drops him with a Samoan Drop! Both men begin crawling to their corners! Angle and Ambrose both get a tag! Angle nails Ambrose with a Belly to Belly! Rollins goes with a kick but Angle moves out of the way and gets behind him German Suplex! Angle plants Ambrose with The ANGLE SLAM! Angle pulls down the straps but right when he lets out a yell! ROCK BOTTOM ON KURT ANGLE! The Rock just pays Kurt Angle when he least expected in! Seth Rollins looks shocked as The Rock leaves Kurt Angle alone with The Sheild! Ambrose crawls over to pin Angle! 1....2....3! SETH ROLLINS AND DEAN AMBROSE ARE MOVING ON! The Sheild are together in Battlebowl!
Jesse: What an idiot! The Rock just let hard feelings cost him a shot at Battlebowl!
JR: The Rock was embarrassed by Kurt Angle at Clash of the Champions a couple months ago and I think that he decided to pay him back here at Battlebowl!
Todd: What a night this has been. We have half the men that will compete at Battlebowl tonight already selected. Who is going to be teaming next.
Curt: It's the luck of the draw Todd.
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
Rick Rude with Bobby Heenan and Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy and Curtis Axel
The debuting Hardy Boys, are selected on different teams here at Battlebowl! We also get an exciting debut in the son of Mr.Perfect Curtis Axel. WCW isn't mentioning that it's Curt Hennig's son, and are not even dropping hints that even could be his son. Curtis comes into the ring and he looks like a superstar as he is going to be teaming with Jeff Hardy. Matt Hardy gets teamed up with Rick Rude here and you can see that he isn't too happy as they argue throughout the match. Rude is full of himself just oozing with confidence as on the otherside of the ring this rookie Curtis Axel is listening to direction and actually teaming well with Jeff Hardy. The two work together and they are actually in control of this match. We even see Matt and Jeff showing off some really nice back and forth action. This is a solid tag match, but the fireworks happen. When down the ramp comes AUSTIN ARIES! Rude is distracted and throwing a fit over it. Matt Hardy is telling Rude to pay attention, but instead Rick Rude blasts his partner with a stiff right hand! Jeff who sees this jumps Rude from behind with a dropkick, and Rude holds his head as from behind Axel drops Rude with a Reverse DDT! Axel tags in Jeff Hardy! SWANTON BOMB! 1....2....3! Jeff Hardy and Curtis Axel will advance and big in part to it is Austin Aries. Bobby Heenan is screaming at Aries who has just foiled Rick Rude's attempt to go to Battlebowl later tonight!
JR: Austin Aries giving Rick Rude some serious payback especially after Rude cost him the WCW Crusierweight Championship last Monday Night.
Jesse: I don't agree with Austin Aries cheating Rick Rude, but Bobby Heenan should have had Rude ready for anything especially in this environment.
Todd: What is going to happen next?
Curt: Austin Aries just cheated Rick Rude, but I can't really blame the man. Rude cost him his title. Payback is fair game in professional wrestling!
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
Rey Mysterio and Dolph Ziggler vs Austin Aries and Ultimo Dragon
These four men here just put on a great showcase. Aries and Ziggler have tremendous chemistry working against each other. Aries is just on a whole other level right now. Suddenly as the match is going on here comes Bobby The Brain Hennan. He comes down the ramp, and as he does Aries tags in Ultimo who leaps into the ring and puts an awesome showing with Rey Mysterio. Aries is going Heenan but as he does Ziggler comes from behind and just begins fighting with Aries all the way through curtain and to the back. This is now a one on one match between two of the greatest Cruiserweights of all time. It's back and forth the whole time. These men know each other so well that they keep on countering each other's signature moves. We get an awesome spot where Ultimo locks on The Dragon Sleeper and as he does Mysterio fights to the corner. He uses it as leverage and goes to flip over the shoulders but as he does Ultimo drops him with a Stunner! He makes the cover for a 2 count. Ultimo thought that he had the match won with that move. He picks up Mysterio and attempts a Powerbomb but Mysterio counters it to land on his feet. Ultimo goes to throw Mysterio into the ropes, but as he goes a clothesline Mysterio goes under and dropkicks the knee of Ultimo and into the ropes he goes! Mysterio his the ropes and 619! Mysterio instantly makes the cover 1.....2....3!! Rey Mysterio and United States Champion Dolph Ziggler are moving on to Battlebowl!
JR: What a showcase we just saw there Jess. It basically turned into a one on one match.
Jesse: Anything can happen in the Battlebowl!
{We go straight to the back where we Ziggler, and Aries are just fighting in the backstage area. Aries is starting to get the upperhand though, but you can quickly see that this is a trap, as from behind Rick Rude catches Aries in the back of the head with a 2x4! It instantly breaks over the back of Aries! Rude, and Bobby Heenan get a smile on their face, as Bobby pulls out a wad of cash and hands it to The United States Champion Dolph Ziggler! Bobby and Rude begin walking away, as Aries is no way to compete later tonight!}
Todd: I can't believe what we just saw. Austin Aries has just been screwed out of Battlebowl cause of Bobby Heenan and Rick Rude!
Curt: I have to agree. I have been on both sides of the fence with Bobby Heenan, and let me tell you he is one of the people who don't stop till he gets what he want.
Battlebowl Qaulifying Match
Billy Gunn and Shane Douglas vs Randy Orton with Papa Shango and Justin Gabriel
One half of the tag champions comes out of the curtain and right behind is "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. These men come down the ramp and you can tell that these two are on the same page. They both want a shot at Battlebowl! Billy Gunn rolls into the ring as we see out comes Justin Gabriel he gets a nice reaction from the crowd as from the back comes Randy Orton and right behind him is Papa Shango. The crowd is letting Orton have it, and you tell that he isn't happy about his partner choice. Gabriel is telling Orton to get in the ring, and let's go. Orton looks at him and then to the crowd, and Randy just shrugs his shoulders. Gabriel will start things off with Billy Gunn, and he just never stood a chance. Two on One through the whole match as Orton won't enter the ring. Finally Gabriel counters a Fameasser by moving out of the way. When Billy Gunn turns around it's to a Spring Board Dropkick. Gabriel tags in Orton who enters the ring. He looks to be part of this match now....RKO TO GABRIEL! Randy Orton just laid out his partner. Douglas and Gunn are letting Orton do this as he tags back in his partner. Gabriel who is already laid out of the mat gets picked up by Shane Douglas FRANCHISER 1....2....3!!! Shane Douglas and Billy Gunn are moving on, and while they are celebrating up the ramp inside the ring we Randy Orton and Papa Shango enter back into the ring. Orton tells Shango to show what he can do. Shango begins convulsing and as Orton picks up Gabriel A FIREBALL TO JUSTIN GABRIEL!
JR: WHAT THE HELL? DID YOU JUST SEE THAT JESS?
Jesse: Somebody get some help down here!
{Orton is shocked by what just happen, but suddenly a smile comes across his face. Has Randy Orton just found a man that can fight the dark powers of The Undertaker!}
JR: What was that Jess? I have no idea what we just saw. Will somebody get some damn help for this man!
Jesse: I have never seen anything like that Ross.
Todd: Well I have to say guys we have never seen anything like that before.
Curt: That might have been one of the most disturbing scenes I have seen in the ring. I have to say that I am curious to see what The Undertaker is going to do.
Todd: Well it's now time for the final four men, and the last two men to enter Battlebowl!
Curt: Now this is going to be Perfect!
Battlebowl Qualifying Match
Scott Steiner and Ted Dibiase JR vs Hakushi and Jerry Lynn
Here we go the last match in Battlbowl, and it's filled with some interesting characters. Ted Dibiase is in full "Million Dollar Man" mode. He comes down the ramp is throwing his money around just like his daddy. Ted Dibiase is in the ring and while he is in the ring he sees Scott Steiner coming into the ring. Ted Dibiase is trying to get Scott to play ball by breaking the rules, but it doesn't seem like he wants anything to do with the money. He just wants to move on to Battlebowl. Here comes The new Cruiserweight Champion Jerry Lynn. He comes down the ramp and he is walking like he has a chip on his shoulder. He comes into the ring as this man that never speaks comes down the ramp. Hakushi makes his WCW debut he enters the ring and Lynn is trying to tell him follow his lead, and Hakushi just goes to the apron and waits for his tag. Lynn and Dibiase put a good back and forth till Scott gets the tag and these men show off some very impressive strength vs speed match up. Lynn makes a hard tag to Hakushi who looks like he was just disrespected by this and he looks over at Lynn as we see Ted Dibiase walks over with a wad of cash and he offers this money to Hakushi to lay down and get pinned. Hakushi looks at the money and at Dibiase and proceeds to MIST RIGHT IN THE FACE OF DIBIASE! Scott looks at Diabise and looks upset by this and drops him with a STEINER LINE! Scott Steiner wants Battlebowl but he wants it the fair way. He heads up the ramp as Jerry Lynn pushes Hakushi out of the way and drops Dibase with The Cradle Piledriver! 1....2....3!!! Hakushi and Jerry Lynn take the victory as we see Dibiase JR just proved that maybe money can't buy anything, or maybe he just isn't as good as his father is.
JR: Fans the field of 16 is set!
Jesse: I love it! 16 of the biggest stars we got! We got The United States Champion, The Crusierweight Champion, and Half of the Tag Team Champions!

Bret and Shawn meet right in the middle of the ring and these two men are nose to nose right now. The tempers are flaring and the curse words are spewing from both men.

Bret though is too busy yelling at fans that he doesn't see that Shawn is already on the top rope. Bret turns around and Shawn from the top rope lands on Bret with a Crossbody from the top rope.
The fans are going crazy as Shawn picks up Bret and slides him into the ring. Shawn climbs onto the apron, and climbs the top rope, and as Bret is laid out on the mat.

Bret is laid out on the table, as Shawn is dragging himself to the ring. Nick Patrick isn't counting either man but instead begging Shawn to bring it back to the ring. Shawn pushes the Senior Official away, and proceeds to climb to the top rope, but Shawn has his back to Bret Hart. Shawn gives a look over his shoulder before doing the unthinkable! Shawn leaps off the ropes with a MOONSAULT RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
MY GOD! Both men are laid out and Nick Patrick instantly leaves the ring and checks on both men who are now lying in the debris of this now shattered announce table! Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura are going crazy as the crowd is chanting not Holy Shi*, but instead "ECW" "ECW" "ECW" this chant is echoing through the ballroom as Shawn is finally showing life and makes it to his feet, we get a few more replays and this time Bret is now to his.

Shawn throws a kick to the midsection but Bret grabs the leg off instinct he kicks out the other leg, and Bret without any hesitation locks on The Sharpshooter right in the middle of the ring.
Shawn is screaming in pain, as Nick Patrick is right there checking on the champion. Bret Hart with the move that has won him countless championships now has a chance to win himself another one right here live at Battlebowl! Shawn is trying to get to the ropes and with every single scream you can feel the changing of the guard is about to happen. Bret has it locked on and Shawn has nowhere to go but this isn't stopping the champion. He won't tap out and he keeps fighting as much as he can with all he has to make it to that bottom rope! Shawn is fighting but Bret is screaming for him to tap out! Shawn makes the finally attempt and he does it! SHAWN GETS TO THE ROPES! Bret is pissed and keeps it locked on! Bret is pissed and spits on the ground before finally letting go as Nick Patrick gets to 4. Bret is right in the face of Nick Patrick. He is telling him that Shawn tapped out and he should have called the bell. As Bret turns around Shawn with Sweet Chin Music, but IT HITS NICK PATRICK! Shawn can't believe it and instead Bret grabs him with another Russian Leg Sweep, but instead elbows to the face, and Bret is holding his head as Shawn lays him out with a Sweet Chin Music!

SHAWN MICHAELS HAS DONE IT! Bret Hart has lost this match cause the temper got to him. He pushed the referee Nick Patrick when he should have paid more attention to Shawn Michaels, and in the end it cost him as Shawn Michaels just laid out The Hitman with The Sweet Chin Music! The crowd is going crazy in the ballroom as Nick Patrick raises the arm of Shawn and hands him The WCW Title!
JR: I can't believe the classic we just saw!
Jesse: I have been in the sport a long time Ross, and I haven't seen a match like that before. It had everything you love to see in a match. They put it all on the line and in the end we had to have a winner and a loser.
JR: It's hard to say that either man lost, cause they gave it all they had, but in the end Bret's bad attitude cost him the gold. I wonder if that will teach him to watch it next time.
Jesse: It's hard to say Ross. Bret did everything right until the end but the only thing is that is where it matters.
JR: Fans we are now going to show you some previews of the Battlebowl, and how all the winners have advanced on to the big showcase. The Winner of this match will receive a Title Shot at anytime of their choosing. It could be after a PPV Match, before one, during a backstage segment, Anytime!
Jesse: Let's not waste the time! Let's head to BATTLEBOWL!
