** BCCW Middleweight Championship **KEVIN FN OWENS (2015) © vs. MASATO TANAKA (2000) versus
This is what a wrestler looks like. Word to the Tribe of Xtreme. Mix one part KO (ROH / PWG / NXT /IC champion = BCCW Middleweight champ) with 1 part FMW / ECW Masato Tanaka and we have another combustible Mash-Up combination. Steel chairs, guard railings & suicide dives galore! Hardcore intensity (KO even bleeds hardway from the mouth) for the entire duration that helps elevate the status of the Middleweight title even more. Kevin FN Owens earned the biggest victory of his Mash-Up Wrestling career at
WWE "The Big Event II" when he defeated the Undertaker. Tonight is a victory lap in his parade of hits. Kevin FN Owens proves - with or without the shadow of the Montreal Mafia - that he runs this game. Though he may look like "Big Country" Roy Nelson of the Middleweight division, Kevin FN Owens fights more like Anderson Silva. Fight Owens Fight is here to stay for a long, long time!
Winner (and *STILL* Middleweight Champion): KEVIN FN OWENS** Cut to video recap & commentator summary **_____________________________________________________________"A Whole New Day in the BCCW 6-Man Division"Champion Houston Heat Entrance & Theme. Brief, but exhilarating, promo from Booker T citing their 6-Man domination and title reign. When suddenly - they are cut off by the mic-work Entrance & Theme of the *newest* Tag Team in BCCW's 6-Man division... introducing "The New Day (2015)"!! Hailing the power of positive and citing their rise from NOD Militia ashes, the New Day is here to change the face of the 6-Man Tag Team division!!!
** BCCW 6-Man Tag Team Titles **HOUSTON HEAT © vs. NEW DAY versus
More Mash-Up Wrestling magic from the hallowed hills of BCCW. WCW-era Heat (mixed with a lil LAX Hernandez) versus modern-day 6-Man pariahs. WWE Network couldn't draw a better parallel. I first fell in love with New Day for real, when I saw them perform a backstage slamdunk on some dupe at a Smackdown show. Absolutely hilarious. They've only gotten funnier & more entertaining over time. Culminating in my meeting Xavier Woods himself at an Uno's restaurant next to the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence (after a Smackdown show I went to). He was quick, but cordial, and I still reminisce about that time. So it is only here in BCCW (in our celebrated 6-Man division) where the New Day can display their true, unfettered potential. Xavier Woods is no longer relegated to being a distraction at ringside, he is now a distraction from *within* the bout. Houston Heat are the coolest, most street-wise cats in the ring (polar opposites of what New Day represents) and will continue to have their time. But today is a NEW Day, and the hottest act in Tag Team wrestling wears a huge smile. The days of the frowny-face are over. Enter the new emoticons of Mash-Up Wrestling! Sneakside cover up & pin on Stevie Ray from Kofi earns the pinfall! OMG we have new champions!
Winners (and *NEW* Tag Team Champions):
THE NEW DAY!!** CUT TO REPLAY **
Ric Flair (w/ Mount Rushmore) answer promo. This is 1987-era Four Horseman in his prime Ric Flair, surrounded by the Past, Present & FUTURE of Mash-Up Wrestling! The jet-setting, Millionaire playboy lifestyle vs. Straightedge society! CM Punk can bring any of the Chicago tough guys to police his match he wants (referring to Strangler Lewis) - Ric Flair knows all the moves to put on these hookers & shooters! Whoooo! Space Mountain! ** CUT TO VIDEO PACKAGE **
_____________________________________________________________MANKIND vs. MVP
(Heavyweight Grudge Match)
** Winner Becomes New BCCW Commissioner!! ** versus
Climatic blow-off match to this long-burning "Attitude-era WWF" vs. "Reality TV-era TNA" feud. Beginning when Corporate Mankind was duped by Commissioner MVP's Administration, all the way through Mankind's chase and wicked series of bumps. Tonight Mankind gets his revenge, but its not without incident. MVP had the foresight to arrange a little back-up (especially with the stakes so high here)... thus the
"Beat Down Clan" is born in BCCW.
Low-Ki & Kenny King join their TNA Brother-in-Arms in his attempt to assassinate Foley and regain his precious Commissioners job. They nearly come close to extinguishing Mankind for good on numerous occasions. But in the end, Mankind lives once more ("Fear the Walking Dead-style!") - and after BDC is banned from ringside by the referee - Mankind completes the Double Arm DDT / Steel Chair / Mandible claw-trifecta! 1! 2! 3! Foley has done it! He defeats MVP and becomes the *new BCCW Commissioner!* the new on-screen face of Authority in Boston is Commissioner Mick Foley!!!
Winner (and *NEW* BCCW Commissioner):
MICK FOLEY (aka "Mankind")!!!** Cut to recap & elated commentator summary **_____________________________________________________________CENA © & CRUSHER CASEY © vs. BEER MONEY Intl
(Handicap Match)
versus
Championship showcase for BCCW. Current TV & HW champions competing on the same team (against a former champ himself, JBL). Beer Money have made their name in Mash-Up Wrestling as well, with an AWA Crockett Cup victory to their credit in 2014. Cena & Crusher are a (less vulgar, more honorable) version of Cena's Marvel Team-Up with the Rock (at WWE Survivor Series 2012). Beer Money may have the advantage most of the match, but in the end its all about the Heroes of Light. Nobody stands taller for honorable competition than Cena & Crusher. Though they get their share of boos & vulgar chants from some of the more cynical, hardened fans - they never quit or throw their hands up in futility. Commentators still reminisce on the classic bout the two had opposite each other on
BCCW TV Episode #50 (click here). Perhaps that day will come again, but tonight is all about Championship unity. Confusing matters still, is the fact John Cena chose to make his 1st Heavyweight title defense *outside* BCCW (defeating Kevin Nash @ WWE Big Event II). Cena is either representing for BCCW in the belly of the Beast - or selling out to outside WWE influences, depending on how you look at it. Tonight, our two heroes vanquish our evil villainous Beer Money with a combined Brogue Kick / FUAA to Storm & Roode respectively. JBL doesn't have the heart to prolong the battle further, ceding the victory to a better team! 1! 2! 3! Cena picks up the pin on Roode!
Winners: CENA & CRUSHER Postmatch the celebratory Cena & Crusher are blindsided & waylaid by vindictive JBL - who uses the element of surprise (and a deadly steel chair) to wreak havoc! Once again, Beer Money Intl instantly regain their heat (or is it more of a babyface reaction here tonight in Chicago?) when they triple-team two of BCCW's top champions and leave them laying in the ring! But on Beer Money's way OUT of the ring, someone else is fixing to get inside...Cue the sudden Entrance & Theme of "Celtic Warrior"
SHEAMUS (2015)! Complete with MitB Briefcase in hand! OMG! Is Sheamus going to cash in tonight??
YES! He is! Sheamus is frantically waving for a referee! But *whom* will he target with his title opportunity?? Sheamus gears up to run Cena OR Crusher down with his Brogue Kick finisher!
But before he can - BAM! Sheamus runs face-first into a huge SPEAR from a returning
BOBBY LASHLEY (2015)! Oh my! Lashley came from outta nowhere! He slid into the ring and BLASTED Sheamus in mid-stride with his MMA-sized spear! The crowd is going CRAZY in Chicago! Lashley plays to them a bit, letting the world know he has arrived! He signals for the finish - BLASTS Sheamus with a Dominator - and points to the two discarded BCCW Championships on the mat! The BCCW Heavyweight and Television titles... both of which *belonged* to Lashley at one point! It's clear he has returned tonight in Chicago to lay claim to those thrones again!!
** CUT to VIDEO RECAP - stunned & excited commentary reaction - Backstage interviewer Renee Young tries to get a word with the returning Bobby Lashley, but gets only silence instead. Bobby Lashley came, saw, conquered and has left the building ** ** CUT TO Video recap & Main Event hype/promo package **
_____________________________________________________________** Mash-Up Wrestling WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP **CM PUNK (2012) © vs. RIC FLAIR (1987) versus
Requisite video packages - huge, elongated MMA-like walkouts - and an absolutely RAVENOUS hometown Chicago crowd! There is an energy in the air tonight unlike any other. Commentators discuss CM Punk's decision to align with Strangler Lewis, and note that Flair's "Mount Rushmore" stable has been barred from ringside. Both Solie & Striker have long memories of Strangler Lewis and his evil run through Mash-Up Wrestling last time (as part-owner of XPW Remixed), and question his ulterior motives for returning as a "surrogate" to CM Punk (think: much tougher, less-talkative version of Paul Heyman). Flair meanwhile, is all glitz & glamour, with fine robs and a stunning escort of fashion-runway models to accompany him. The epitome of in-yo-face-decadence. CM Punk vs Ric Flair for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Only in BCCW!
After crowd anticipation has been piqued, the two combatants finally lock and battle begins! Technically they are nearly equals, with Flair still holding a few shades of experience on Punk. But CM Punk (despite his Godly babyface status in Chicago) is not hesitant to resort to shades of gray when required, thus negating some of Flair's "dirtiest player in the Game" shtick. On and on they go, writing a symphony of wrestling and putting on a clinic. Both men wind up on the floor where Flair finally takes over. Back in the ring, CM Punk rallies with Muy Thai strikes and earns a Flair Flop from Ric on an Irish Whip. After another reversal, Flair hits a back suplex and locks up the Figure-4! HUGE boos for the mega-Heel Flair! Eventually CM Punk makes the break, but Flair uses the ropes for extra additional moments of leverage. Even after the referee breaks up the hold, Flair instantly attacks the knee & leg of World Champion CM Punk. Even so, Punk still manages a very-believable near fall on Flair with a series of pinning combinations. CM Punk went for his top rope elbow drop - missed it - and still managed to snag Flair in an Anaconda-Vice submission! Ladies & gentleman, YOUR Mash-Up World Champion, CM Punk! Flair manages to make the ropes and break the holds, but is now instantly on the defensive! Flair begs off and retreats to the floor! Fans are RABID tonight in Chicago!!
CM Punk pursues Flair to the floor, batters him at will, and tosses him back inside. Once again Flair tries backing off, hits the eye poke, and hip tosses CM Punk *into* the referee! With the referee down, Flair motions to the back for some interference... but none comes! It is apparent that whatever is going on backstage, Strangler Lewis is *NOT* letting the Mount Rushmore stable run-in! Foiled once again, Flair is forced to rely on his own cunning. He tries to work the leg of Punk but succumbs to a small-package roll-up! But the ref was slow for the count, and CM Punk only gets two! But the WORLD Champion rallies back, hits his volley of maneuvers, and drops a sloppy-looking flying elbowdrop from the top rope onto Flair! But still only a 2-count! Flair is getting desperate - but Punk blocks the lowblow attempt! Vertical suplex! Flying clothesline! CM Punk positions Flair for the climatic GTF... but Flair wiggles out and snares Punk in a backslide attempt! The two combatants grapple for position, with the fans roaring Punks name! CM Punk summons the will power to pull Flair into an airtight backslide pin! 1! 2! RING THE BELL!
There is momentary confusion, before being revealed the 30-minute Time Limit has *EXPIRED!!* CM Punk thought he had the match won! Flair is vociferous in his complaints as well! Fans chant "5 MORE MINUTES!" CM Punk is *still* Mash-Up Wrestling WORLD Champion!!Winner: NONE (Time Limit Draw)There are more postmatch shenanigans, that result in Flair getting *SLAPPED*, backdropped & hit with a GTS-finisher from CM Punk! Flair is forced to take refuge in the arms of his Mount Rushmore stable at ringside, while CM Punk celebrates & poses with the fans! BCCW has survived Chicago, but CM Punk has barely survived the "Nature Boy" tonight! Both men put on an exhaustive clinic, that refused to be marred no matter how hard Ric Flair tried. Commissioner Mick Foley appears to cap the show - he orders the referee add 5 more minutes to the match! OMG! We're going into sudden death overtime right now! Ring the bell!
But instead of the promised championship action, we get a wild shmozz ending! The entire Mount Rushmore stable (consisting of FW Champion Adam Cole & WWE Champion Gino Hernandez + Ric Flair & Sable) rush CM Punk and beat him down gangland style! But Chicago is the WRONG PLACE for these type of actions! There is a near RIOT at ringside when a WAVE of fans CRUSH the ring barricade and stampede the ring! Very astute Mash-Up Wrestling fans may notice some familiar faces among the masses (Colt Cabana, Ace Steel etc) but to the general viewer it is madness! Insanity! Mount Rushmore of Mash-Up Wrestling are taking on literally the entire city of Chicago!
Somewhere in the background - high above the chaos, looming down from his luxury box - Strangler Lewis chuckles to himself and puffs a victory cigar.
The City is Mine.** FADE OUT **
