Den of Thieves opens the show (Den Graves & Den Scarrman). They rile up the crowd
by saying at Alive they performed in front of a crowd that wore shirts saying "IDAHO". At least the woman in this
state KNOW what they are, Ho's. But tonight we look out at the crowd and see a bunch of ugly chicks wearing shirts that say
"boys" (BOISE). You look like a bunch of cross dressing guys, so maybe it's possible, who knows?
Onto business, the D of T complain that they were robbed of the Heritage title at Alive. When the second fall
ended in a double countout that should have ended the match. No third fall should have happened. They say they have sent in
a formal written protest to NWA offices. In the meantime they issue a challenge to Vic Gate to put up his title and set the
record clear.
Vic Gate appears to a huge ovation from the crowd, wearing the Heritage title around his waist. He says
if Graves wants to be taken to school by Daddy one more time, then buckle up baby. But Graves demures, and says that this
time Scarmann will be getting the title shot. Vic Gates accepts the match for later tonight.
Lash LeRoux comes to the ring along with referee Buddy Lane. LeRoux says that he did not cost his team the match at Alive,
so Larkin's threats to make his life miserable don't mean a damn thing. However, he's pissed off that he was punked by Bingham
and Funk during the match, and that resulted in him being pinned. He challenges Bingham, Funk, or both to come out and fight.
Allen Funk emerges to take the challenge.
Lash LeRoux beat Allen Funk by pinfall at 7:28
Backstage:
Will Damon and Shane Madison are talking with V.P. Dale Kuentz. Kuentz is very upset that they sold their shot at the
tag titles at Alive for $2,000 to ICP.
Damon and Madison say they never agreed to anything, sure didn't receive even a penny, and spent the entire PPV locked
in a dressing room. They say they want their revenge on ICP. Kuentz says to give him a couple of days to confirm their story
and if it holds up they will get their match against ICP on Saturday Squash. Also, if it holds up he says he will fine ICP
the $2,000 and hand it over to Damon & Madison.
Gregor Kitnitsov & his mouthpiece Sammy Yip come to the ring waving the North Korean and old USSR flags. Yip lays
into America warning them that if they enter into wars with Iraq and North Korea they will be joining the likes of Israel,
Northern Ireland, and Croatia in a time of eternal war and vigilance. There will be no turning back. He thanks the people
of France, Germany, and Russia for their support. At this point Kitnitsov grabs the mic. He laughs at America saying even
their attempts to put in CIA run puppet gangsters in control of mother Russia has not turned out the way they wanted it. Just
like their creation of Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq wars. He says America has no one to blame but themselves...
<<< cue "Star Spangled Banner" by Jimi Hendrix >>>
The crowd goes nuts when the Patriot answers the call to action. Carrying a HUGE American flag he makes his way to the
ring. Yip has to restrain Kitnitsov in the corner. Sammy Yip carefully tossed the mic to a very angry looking Patriot.
Patriot catches the mic, and after a few false starts to find his words says "Hell boys I didn't come down here
to talk with you, I came to kick your ass".
With that it's on and Kitnitsov and Patriot go at it. Security soon floods the ring to seperate the two. Official Buddy
Lane is in the ring with a mic and says to clear the ring, after a short commercial break these two can settle their differences
in the ring.
The Patriot and Gregor Kitntisov battle to a double countout at 10:42.
In-ring interview:
Deane Moore calls to the ring Asp Evergreen. The youngster comes out accompanied by his friend Eddie
Chavez. They defend their actions at Alive as being up and up. Moore questions the validity of Evergreen being able
to go out on a moment's notice and within minutes return with doctor's clearnace. Asp thinks about it for a moment and then
declares that what he meant by not having doctor's clearance was that he had forgotten it in his gym bag, not that he didn't
have it all together.
From the back comes Tenacious Z to the ring. Chavez and Evergreen make a big show of trying to hold
open the ropes for the youngster to come into the ring. Instead Z uses the top rope to vault up and over the top strand and
into the ring. He gets the mic.
Z challenges both of them to a tag match with his new partner, Shane Stevens, who comes to the ring.
Evergreeen is pissed off at Stevens saying he has turned his back on the hard working boys of Butte, and teamed up with this
guy who has had everything handed to him on a silver platter just because he's missing a limb.
Evergreen accepts the challenge for a tag match on Saturday Squash but says that Chavez will get the night off,
and that the newest member of their little group will be unveiled as his tag partner.
The next match continued the feud between Boss Strickland and GPW's two legit amateur stars Cael Sanderson and Rulon
Gardner. In this tag match Mr. Wrestling steps forward to be Strickland's partner. Mr. Wrestling addressess Sanderson and
Gardner and takes exception to their claims of freestyle greatness. It is he, that is known as Mr. Wrestling, and for good
reason.
What could have been an excellent show of wrestling skill turned into a messy brawl, that saw all 4 men in the ring more
often than not. At that frantic pace it didn't take long until Strickland and Mr. Wrestling were able to incapacitate Cael
Sanderson with a shot into the ringpost. Two on one Gardner didn't have a chance and the duo finished him off with a version
of the doomsday device.
Boss Strickland & Mr. Wrestling beat Cael Sanderson & Rulon Gardner by pinfall when Strickland pinned
Gardner after the doomsday device at 5:36.
Backstage:
A very nervous looking Sugarbear Baker roams a hallway. Finally he sees Sinister Stan Baker
emerge from the bathroom and calls out to him. SbB welcomes Stan Baker to GPW and says he just wants to clear the air regarding
the use of the name Baker. He says he meant no disrespect to Stan or the Ox at all, and that it was all Larkin's idea. SbB
says Larkin wanted to model a wrestler after the bear on his favorite cereal, Sugar Crisps. In fact he says Larkin wanted
to call him Sugar Crisps Baker. Finally, Stan just holds up a hand for silence. He puts a hand on the shoulder of SbB and
says its okay. He understands. Then Stan says that despite the gimmick SbB still hasn't been getting much time on TV, and
the arrival of all these new stars like himself hasn't helped. He offers SbB a match tonight on Rage to get him some air time.
SbB looks very pleased and accepts.
Derek St. Holmes, ESQ comes out in his wrestling gear looking very displeased. He says he has been forced into a match
tonight against a mad man just because he did his duty to his clients at Alive. He is being punished because he lived up to
his Hypocratic Oath.
Damien Demento beat Derek St. Holmes by pinfall after the Demento knee-drop at 5:14.
Post-Match:
ICP hits the ring and while Violent J distracts Demento, Shaggy 2 Dope nails him in the back of the head with a fire
extinguisher.
Non-title Tag Team Match
The Great Canadians (Eric Scott & Vincent Regliatti) beat Mentello & Peregryne at when Regliatti
pinned Peregryne after a Northern Lights Suplex at 11:35.
-This was a tremendous match-up. Scott a brawler, and Regliatti a mat wrestler, matched up well with the high-flying
duo of masked youngsters from the Butte school. The match really showcased Mentello & Peregryne's athletic ability in
their Rage debut.
Office:
Manny Silva, with the GPW Heavyweight title around his waist, forcefully enters the office of President
Larkin, where he is meeting with his head of security Ron Simmons.
Silva says that as GPW champion he should be getting the title shot at Cyberwar against NWA World Champion Texas Lightning.
Larkin just scoffs at him standing up and says that if Silva had what it took to be a real champion then he would start by
getting that belt off his shoulder and around his waist where it belongs. That's why they make it as a belt nimrod.
Silva takes it off his shoulder but instead of putting it around his waist he lashes out nailing Simmons in the side
of the head. He then tries to leap across the table at Larkin but Simmons manages to grab an ankle and pull the champ down.
The two men wrestle around the ground until security shows up to break them apart.
Sugarbear Baker comes out for his match. He grabs a mic and interrupts the ring announcer. He says that
upon reflection he has decided to change his name back to his original in-ring name, Brickwall Bradley.
Sinister Stan Baker comes out and the two shake hands before locking it up for their match. Bradley is a game competitor
but Baker has just too much raw power for Bradley to compete with. In a relatively clean affair Baker asserts himself with
a powerbomb, and then the heartpunch to get the win.
Sinister Stan Baker beat Brickwall Bradley by pinfall after the heartpunch at 7:59.
Post-Match:
Baker suddenly turned on Bradley and locked him in a camel clutch, refusing to let go. From the back finally came Sam
Holiday. These two were enemies in mid-America for years. They seem to have finally buried the hatchet, but now Holiday
had to drag Baker off of Bradley. Baker then turned on Holiday with a lowblow, a verical suplex, and then lined him up and
nailed him with the heartpunch. Baker left the ring with Holiday and Bradley down and out.
In-ring:
<<< cue "We Will Rock You" by Queen >>>
"Total Destruction" Steve Riley comes out with his usual entourage of lawyers, agents, accountants,
trainers, and girlfriends. In total he has 8 people with him today. In a very crowded ring Riley proclaims his pure hatred
for the Haitian Voodoo prince, Vendetta. He says that Vendetta has got in his way of the gold for the last
time. Riley's lawyer produces a contract, which already bears Riley's signature as well as the signature of President Larkin.
The contract is for a CAGE MATCH at Cyberwar between Riley and Vendetta.
Vendetta answers the call by coming to the ring. He menaces the entourage to make room, then takes the pen and signs
the contract. He tells Riley that his nickname Total Destruction will become a self-fulfilled prophecy at Cyberwar.
Main Event:
GPW Heritage Championship Match
Vic Gate (c)
v
Den Scarrman
Scarrman is not the technician that his partner Den Graves is, and no where near the level of Vic Gate. So this match
turned into a brawl started by Scarrman. Graves risked DQ by interfering when the action spilled to the outside. Back inside
the ring Scarrman really risked DQ by refusing to break a choke hold, and then firing off some eye gouges. Finally any pretense
to a wrestling match broke down as Den Graves entered the ring with a chair and smashed it over the back of Vic Gate who unable
to see was trying to pull him self up on the ropes.
[Vic Gate beat Den Scarrman by disqualification after outside interference by Den Graves at 6:15]
[Vic Gate retains the GPW Heritage Title]
Post-Match:
Union Jack and Gabriel Argos came out of the dressing room to the resuce of Vic Gate as they hammered Den of Thieves
out of the ring.
