3rd Match: Hardcore Texas Death Match: Sabu(BCCW) beat George the Animal Steele(WWE) w/PAul Jones in 13:08 when Sabu put Steele through a table with a legdrop and pinned him. Both men were bleeding during the course of the match.

3rd Fall- Guerrero beat Del Rio in 21:33 with the crucifix. After the match, Del Rio attacked Guerrero with a chair and left him bloodied in the middle of the ring as Del Rio left screaming "El Hefe"!

Joey Styles and Michael Hayes of the AWA took over the broadcast and they announced that the AWA will be going on official hiatus as of this show, but we will be going out in style as we have two outstanding matches featuring the stars of the AWA.

5th Match: AWA TVX Title Match: Aj Styles beat Ethan Carter III in 16:08 with the styles clash.

6th Match: Sheamus(BCCW) beat Big Van Vader(AWA) in 13:22 with the brogue kick.

After the match, the crowd is in shock as Eric Bischoff shows up down the aisle and enters the ring and says that it is sad in a way that the AWA is on hiatus, but the inept broadcast team is not telling you the truth. The truth is that Jack Tunney has been making some shady business deals, including some alleged bribery of his office. But, I cannot confirm or deny that this is accurate or true, but what is true is that the AWA is slowly dying and that it needs a fresh start to make an impact on MUW. Eric explains that he is part of a investment group that is seriously interested in buying the AWA and changing the structure that "on the take" Tunney has tried to decimate ever since he got into office. I would say stay tuned, because like I always say- "Controversy creates Cash" !!

Joey Styles and Michael Hayes both say that the comments are those of Mr. Bischoff and not those of MUW.

7th Match: Beth Phoenix(WWE) beat Wendi Richter(BCCW) in 14:05 with the glam slam. After the match, Bull Nakano and Tamina jump Phoenix from behind and left her laying out from a powerbomb and a splash of fthe top rope. Then, Sir Oliver Humperdink comes out and gives a thumbs down signa dn Tamina jumps Nakano from behind and leaves her laying with the splash off the top rope. After that, she leaves with Humperdink to the back.

8th Match: Triple Threat Match for the WWE World TV Title: Butch Reed(WWE) beat Nick Bockwinkel(WWE) and Bully Ray(BCCW) in 15:33 when a masked man comes out and clobbers Bully ray with a slapjack and puts Reed on top. After that, Bad News Brown comes out and delivers a ghetto blaster to Bockwinkel and confronts Reed and they embrace!! Then the masked guy takes his mask off and it is revealed to be- DEVON DUDLEY!! Then, Reed grabs the mic and says that the WWE World TV Title and the WWE can kiss his a%$#^ goodbye as he is now a BCCW wrestler and a member of the Bad News coalition and he spits at the belt and throws it on the mat and leaves the ringside with Brown and Devon.

MArk Lowrance takes over for the final matches on the card.

10th MAtch: 10,000 Bodyslam Challenge Match- Big John Studd(WWE) w/Paul Jones beat Matt Morgan in 12:00 with a powerslam after Jones tripped Morgan as he tried to slam Studd. After the match, Jones grabbed his money form ringside and leaves with Studd.

12th Match: Road Warriors(WWE) and Nikita Koloff/Vladimir Koslov(BCCW) w/Lana went to a double Dq as both teams shoved the ref out of the ring. It took the Montreal Police to break it up.

Because of time constraints, there will be no Kings Court at the pay-per-view.

13th Match: WWE World Title Match: Jake the Snake Roberts(WWE) beat Rob Van Dam(BCCW) in 14:00 with the DDT.

During the match, Jake Roberts came out and left Bruno laying with the DDT on teh floor.

After the match, Eric Bischoff came out and says that Controversy creates Cash and that he has a surprise. He reminds William Muldoon, president of the WWE about the Canadian organization that has been created problems with the WWE and the board of directors of MUW about the Bruno "title wins". Well, he says that he is here tonight and he points to the dressing room area anD reveals that Canadian organization and out from the curtains comes- AGPW PRESIDENT EMILE DUPREE! Bischoff and Dupree will be making a statement this week to be shown on all the MUW Television networks and believe me, this controversy will create a whole lot of cash!!

In the annals of Mash-Up Wrestling lore, "Battleground" has a very powerful tradition. It originated last year with the impossible dream - a joint supercard promoted by the two biggest (in their eyes at least) franchises in fantasy-wrestling. This year, the stakes are even higher with the addition of a third Mash-Up franchise to the mix. But something ugly happened on the way to Montreal.

In angles, theories and revelations that will be spelled out, speculated over and analyzed for years (much like the JFK conspiracy), AWA Commissioner Jack Tunney has been exposed in a blackmail & bribery scandal. This is a nod to Jack Tunney's true-life [kayfabe] WWF dismissal (does anybody else besides me remember the old WWF Magazine that revealed this scandal, complete with TMZ-like "expose" photos of a sunglasses & baseball hat-wearing Jack Tunney accepting secret payoffs in the parking lot??). Back then it was the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. These days I have my own theories - most of which I will divulge on my Halloween in Hell 2014 show, but suffice to say the AWA scandal has far reaching political effect that has resulted in the defamation of an entire Mash-Up Wrestling franchise. But don't let that deter from the fact WWEFan has really stepped up to the plate here and hit a communal home run.

With the exception of two matches (that I special requested), I left all finishes & winners up to you, and I wasn't disappointed. Uso's over Von Erichs, Ivan over Wildfire & even Sabu beating George Steele in a bloody hardcore bout were awesome matches. Russians are my 6-Man tag team champions still, and they did not look weak against LOD tonight either.

Biggest in-ring developments, aside from the the final segment which I'll touch on, was definitely D-Von Dudley turning on his brother Bully Ray to join Bad News Brown new stable. That's a touchy, controversial and wild swerve that actually results in changes to both our rosters (Bully Ray was traded to WWE for Butch Reed shortly after this show). I want to make sure I draw attention to the fact such a big BCCW storyline moment happened on this show (with my full scripted blessing of course).

My other request (rather, Commissioner MVP's demand) was that Bobby Lashley dominate Don Muraco and he did that here tonight. Blaster Lashley is one of the brightest parts of modern day TNA to be and I like to have him well-represented in BCCW. Also in the wake of AWA's collapse, it was only right that BCCW's newest "legend killer" Sheamus get the duke over former AWA champion Big Van Vader. That's the kind of slobberknocker that would have Jim Ross hyperventilating!

I'm still shocked that you put the title on Jake Roberts (on an untelevised houseshow nonetheless), but at least now I understand what Bray Wyatt meant when he said "the Devil made him do it". Now Bruno has no belt, a blood feud with Steve Austin, and a match with Bray Wyatt at Halloween in Hell 2014. Tough times all around for the WWE's franchise player. Also, I am not surprised (in the wake of the Jack Tunney scandal) that Daniel Bryan (AWA Champion) was the guy designated to take the final pinfall. It seems oddly apropos that Steve Austin finish off his Mash-Up rivalry with Daniel Bryan in such a manner. Slightly more than the blowoff for Goldberg/Jericho in WCW, but less than a full-blown program. Alas, it's the best we're going to see between DBryan/Austin at this point.

Finally, I'm nominating that last segment as possibly the most controversial moment of the year. I KNOW it had the phone & fax lines at Mash-Up Wrestling HQ going bananas! Whether the connection between Easy E and Canada is one of corruption or convenience (or if it will even be acknowledged North of the border) cannot be determined at this time. But one thing is certain, it is another shocking Mash-Up moment (like Hulk Hogan's heel turn last year) that makes Battleground arguably *THE* premier PPV showcase of the year. I can't wait to see where it stacks up in our end of the year Award Ceremony.

Awesome awesome awesome job, my friend. I am proud to say you took the BCCW flag and ran with it. The Battleground House Tour alone in the weeks leading up to this was awesome, and worthy of it's own compilation. This was Mash-Up magic in it's purest form and I'm glad to have shared in this moment with you. Till next time we do it again my friend! Cheers!

peace,

MSD

I remember the high stakes and drama of last years Battleground event, and I wondered if this year could live up to expectations. I am pleased to announce it has exceeded even that. Another nice blend of talent from the three contributing companies, and wwefan you mashed them up beautifully. Stand out matches for me were the bodyslam challenge and Sheamus vs Vader, because I love slobberknockers, and Jake Roberts defending his new WWE title against RVD. But of course the main event stole the show, especially with the extracurriculars. Why does Eric Bischoff always seem to surface at the worst possible time? Any partnership with him is doomed for failure, so I wonder what possible involvement he can have in the disbandment of the AWA. Either way I am excited for more and eagerly await the next chapter! 10 out of 10 points from me, even though I absolutely despise the Bad News Brown stable and was horrified to see D von dudley turn on his brother to join them!
