Tazz ~ You can say that again, bro! hopefully be the end of the night we'll have a couple of new champions! lets take it to the ring were our General Manager Theodore Long awaits!
In the ring Teddy Long takes a good long look around at the sold out crowd who continue to chant his name "TEDDY! TEDDY! TEDDY!" nodding his head in approval of the positive reaction raises his microphone.
Teddy Long ~ Memphis Tennessee.. ARE YOU READY... TO BE APART OF UCW history, right here tonight... I can't hear, ya If you ready to be apart of UCW history, let me hear ya HOLLA!
Teddy tilts his mic out towards the crowd and receives a very loud reaction in return
Tazz ~ Haha! aw.. man! these people here in Memphis Tenn certainly aren't playing here tonight, Coach..
Johnathan Coachman ~ You can say that again Tazz...
Teddy Long ~ Alright, now check this out.. heres how its goin' down tonight, since its our WORLD PREMIERE I figured we'd jump right in and start crowning ourselves some new champions! So without further ado.. Can I get a drum roll please? Somebody from the back, cue up the drum roll..
*Drum Roll*
Teddy walks over to the other side of the were a long table sits, a red cloth draped down over the top. He snatches back the red cloth and the crowd looks on in astonishment.
Teddy Long ~ I give to you.. YOUR NEW...... UCW Championship title belts!
Tazz ~ WOAH! Check that out..
The crowd cheers
Teddy Long ~ Now... enough jaw jackin, Its time for our FIRST EVER title match.. I hope you all enjoy the show.. I'LL HOLLA!
Teddy throws the deuces (peace) to the crowd as the times keeper calls for the bell.
Jay Lethal VS X-PAC VS Juventud Guerrera VS Billy Kiddman
4-way Ladder Match
Dragon Gate Championship
A very fast paced match from the starting bell right down to the end. There was lots of high flying action from all 4-men. One of the biggest high lights of the match came at the half way point and that was a shooting star press from Billy Kidman from the top of the ladder out onto the other 3 battling competitors who were all out at ringside. Billys death defying stunt left him down for the remainder of the match, leaving a greater opportunity for one of the other 3 competitors to capture gold. As Jay Lethal dangled from the titles strap the fans thought that he would go on to make UCW history and go on to be crowned the first ever Dragon Gate Champion but both Juventud and X-PAC had other thoughts. With Juvented dangling from the legs of Lethal, X-PAC used the opportunity to capitalize, killing two birds with one stone as he scaled the ladder rung from rung until coming face to face with Jay Lethal. He delivers a sickening kick to the face, causing both Jay Lethal and Juventud Guerrera to come to a rest on the canvas. What's sure to be described as a huge upset for Jay Lethal will forever be written in the history books as a huge victory for X-PAC who goes on to be crowned the first ever UCW Dragon Gate champion.
WINNER - X-PAC
Following the match the camera cuts to the back where Hardcore Bob Holly is attempting to give an interview about the upcoming Bareknuckle Hardcore Championship match but before he gets a chance to start hes rudely interrupted by the Big Bossman who plows through him, shoving him aside before continuing on towards the ring.
Johnathan Coachman ~ I wonder what that was all about..?
Tazz ~ Oh, it could only mean one thing, Coach! I think its time to get a little HARDCORE!
The camera fades to a commercial break..
As the cameras return from the break the competitors who are set to compete in the next championship bout are already in the ring.
Johnathan Coachman ~ Welcome back ladies and gentleman to the world premiere of UCW Warfare! and incase your just joining us, It looks like we're about to get "Hardcore" as Tazz put it earlier..
Tazz ~ That's right! MAN i'm lookin forward to this one.. hell, who knows? I might just try my luck at being crowned the first ever Bareknuckle Hardcore Champion..
Johnathan Coachman ~ So the rules of this match are simple... the three men in the ring right now may be competing for the title but they aren't the ONLY ones who are being given this opportunity as any other superstar from the back could come out and join this match at any time.. the first person to score a pinfall on one of the other competitors will be crowned our new Bareknuckle Hardcore Champion.
Tazz ~ So this means that the other guys in the ring are REALLY gonna have to pay attention to the action around them if they wanna win this thing..
Hardcore Holly VS Big Bossman VS Steve Blackman VS
Open Invitation Hardcore Match
Bareknuckle Hardcore Championship
This match starts off slow, but soon captures the attention of the crowd as more competitors start to join in on the action. There were several surprise appearances throughout the match (Tajiri, Santino, Seth Rollins, Farooq, Super Crazy, James Storm, Kane, Abyss, Big E. Langston) the most notable being the appearance of the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley who immediately hit the ring and began cleaning house with a trashcan lid. The Hardcore legend finally met his match while charging towards the big red machine Kane who met him with a boot to the face. With bodies sprawled all around Kane looked to capitalize, stalking Foley as he set up for the chokeslam from hell but from behind the monster Abyss also looked to capitalize, spinning the big red machine around before hitting a chokeslam of his own. The crowd erupts as Abyss hooks the leg of the big red machine, the official drops down to make the count but its quickly broken up by the duo of the Big Bossman and Bam Bam Bigelow who begin to put the boots to the monster Abyss. Unlatching his baton the Bossman puts it to use before signalling to the corner turnbuckle. Bam Bam makes his way to the top and delivers a top rope body splash before hooking the leg. The Bossman stands by to monitor the count, driving his baton into the gut of Tajiri who rushes to break the cover before the refs hand slaps the mat for a 3rd time. The newly formed alliance of Big Bossman and Bam Bam draws a negative reaction from the crowd as they pose with the title in the center of the ring, bodies scattered all around them.
WINNER - BAM BAM BIGELOW
The cameras head backstage to the official of General Manager Teddy Long whos on the phone with someone speaking about his plans for the World Heavyweight title, he reveals that a new World Heavyweight Champion will not be revealed until two weeks from now but in order to tie the fans over hes set up a tournament to determine the two number one contenders. Hes interrupted by JBL and immediately ends the call before the camera cuts back to the ring were we're getting ready for some tag team action!
The Steiner Bros. VS The New Age Outlaws
UCW Tag Team Championship Match
This match saw the Steiner Bros. dominating for most of the beginning, that is until the newly crowned Dragon Gate champion X-Pac decides to make his presence known at ringside. The New Age outlaws begin to pick apart at the left knee of Big Poppa Pump throughout the match, keeping him isolated in their corner for a good amount of the match. Steiner shows an impressive show of strength as he pushes himself up from the canvas and uses his legs to force Billy Gunn to break a Boston Crab. Scrambling to his feet, he drops Billy with two clotheslines back to back and then heads for his corner looking for the tag but that rat bastard X-PAC grabs the ankle of Rick Steiner baiting him into a chase around the ring. Scott Steiner tosses his arms into the air and watches as his brother chases X-PAC around the ring, therefore he doesn't Billy Gunn as he comes from behind with the roll up, grabbing a hand full of tights Billy holds on as the ref counts the 1-2-3.
WINNER(S) - New Age Outlaws
Following the match the camera cuts to the back where Beer Money are watching the in ring celebration on a small monitor while enjoying a few beers, in the distance JBL can be seen approaching the duo as the camera cuts to a commercial break.
Following the commercial break we jump right into the next match and its one that should have the crowd on the edge of their seats!
Chris Jericho VS Shelton Benjamin VS HBK
Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship Qualifiers Match
This match grabs the crowds attention from the very start. It kicks off with both Benjamin trying their luck at an old fashion lock up with the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels. Eventually its Jericho who manages to get the better of the Showstopper as he forces him into a corner with Shelton looking on. Y2J follows up with several shoulder thrust to the Showstopper in the corner before turning back to focus on Benjamin. The two competitors have a very technical back and forth with a lot of arm twisting and reversals which ends with Jericho whipping Shelton towards the corner opposite of Shawn. The human highlight reel leaps up onto the top rope and back flips back down to the canvas as Jericho uses his foot to avoid crashing into the turnbuckle. Slowly turning back to Benjamin, Y2J eats a heel kick which sends a sickening echo throughout the arena.
The cameras cut to a commercial break and by the time we return the tide has changed tremendously with HBK now in charge of Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin no where in sight on the outside of the ring. Shawn heads for the top rope and Jericho quickly follows behind, going for the codebreaker but HBK shoves him back down into the canvas before signalling for his signature elbow drop. Benjamin out on the ring apron rushes towards Michaels but gets kicked off of the apron, this buys Jericho a lot of time and he finally manages to pull off the Codebreaker from the top rope! the crowd erupts as hes crawls into the cover. The ref slides to the mat to make the count but its only a 2 count, Jericho can't believe his eyes as he tugs at his hair and he begins to argue with the official. Shelton Benjamin slips back into the ring and immediately begins to stalk Jericho for a super kick. Y2J ducks the kick and follows through with a codebreaker, hooking the leg of Benjamin but before the ref can make the three count Michaels dives in to break up the pinfall!
All 3 men lay sprawled out in the ring as the crowd carries out a 3 way chant (HBK!, Y2J! Shelton!)
The official makes it to a 7 count before the competitors slowly start to get to their feet, Michaels the first to pull himself up using a corner. A dazed Shelton Benjamin finds himself trapped in the center of the ring as both Chris Jericho & HBK set sights on him, Michaels looks to connect with a sweet chin music but Shelton ducks leaving Jericho to feel the effects of the kick instead. Shelton takes the time to pause and look down at Jericho which turns out to be one of the biggest mistakes hes ever made as Michaels connects with another sweet chin music. He rolls into the cover & the ref makes the count!
HBK advances to the next round of the tournament and celebrates in the middle of the ring, but not for long as JBL rushes down to the ring and delivers a vicious Clothesline from Hell. The crowd showers him in boos as he stands over the fallen body of HBK and stragthens the tie of his suit before smiling to take us out of the show.
WINNER - HBK
