Hardcore Battle Royal
Hardcore Championship

Howard Finkle: The opening contest for When Worlds Collide is a Hardcore Battle Royal. To win the person must go OVER THE TOP ROPE and BOTH FEET must touch the ground. The last person will be the Hardcore Champion!!

Jim Ross: Fans, I am getting word that this match has started somewhere backstage. We will try to get a camera there as soon as possible.

[After a delay of a few seconds, there is a fight shown going on in the hallway. Blade and Road Dogg are pummeling Nightblade, who is up against a wall. At the same time The Rock and Ruthless are exchanging left and right punches. Blade and Road Dogg now grab Nightblade and pull him down the hallway. They are heading towards the ring.]

Jim Ross: This match is a real slobbernocker from the get-go. These five men didn't even wait to get to the ring.

Jerry Lawler: They all found eachother backstage and now they are just beating the crap out of eachother back there.

[Road Dogg and Blade are seen coming out from the back. Road Dogg is forcing Nightblade along in a weak headlock. Blade trots down the entrance aisle and he slides into the ring. As Road Dogg and Nightblade get close to the ring, Nightblade elbows Road Dogg as hard as he can, and then he rolls Road Dogg into the ring. Nightblades enters the ring himself as well.]

Mike Tenay: We have three men in the ring, but there is still Rock and the champion Ruthless fighting backstage still.

[The Road Dogg pulls himself up after the shot he just took. Nightblade goes to attack Road Dogg more, but Blade cuts him off and begins to punch and kick him. Now Blade and Road Dogg grab Nightblade and send him into the ropes. As Nightblade comes off the ropes, he is hit with a doubleteam clothesline from the DX duo.]

Jim Ross: Nightblade could be in a whole lot of trouble. He is in the ring with two members of DX. He's like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Mike Tenay: Sincve this match is no disqualification, Road Dogg and Blade can do pretty much whatever they want to.

Jerry Lawler: Yeah, I think Nightblade will be out of this match pretty soon.

[Everytime Nightblade gets up to his hands and knees, a few swift kicks by Blade and Road Dogg knock him right back down. Road Dogg now signals to throw him out of the ring. Blade and Road Dogg get onto either side of Nightblade. They both grab Nightblade by a leg and by an arm to lift him to his feet. Now they both run foward and Nightblade goes over the top rope and he lands on the ringside mats.]

Howard Finkle: Nightblade has been eliminated!!

Mike Tenay: And Nightblade is officially out of this match. The four left are Blade and Road Dogg, who are in the ring, and Rock and Ruthless, who are backstage fighting somewhere.

[The Rock and Ruthless appear from the entrance way. Ruthless seems to be in control, as he is the one bringing Rock towards the ring. Ruthless brings Rock down to the ring, and rolls him into it. Blade and Road Dogg walk over to Rock and they begin to stomp him like they were stomping Nightblade. Ruthless looks under the ring and he brings out a few weapons.]

Jerry Lawler: Ruthless is looking under the ring for some goodies.

Jim Ross: It looks like he pull out a table, but I can't see too well from here.

[Ruthless has indeed pulled out a table, and he slides it into the ring. He again searches under the ring for more things. He pulls out a cookie sheet and a steel chair. He tosses those two things into the ring and he slides into the ring.]

Mike Tenay: He has a cookie sheet and a steel chair to go along with that table.

[While Road Dogg and Blade are still beating on The Rock, Ruthless sets the table up near the middle of the ring. Road Dogg sees this and yells as Blade to put The Rock on the table. Blade does what he says and he picks up Rock and puts him onto the table. At the same time, Ruthless gets set up on the top turnbuckle of the nearest corner. Ruthless jumps, but at the last second, The Rock rolls off the table and Ruthless goes crashing through the table.]

Jim Ross: OH MY......Ruthless jumped off the top rope and wanted to hit The Rock, but The Rock rolled away and he went right through that table!

Mike Tenay: Ruthless very well could have broken a rib or two from that.

Jerry Lawler: If he did, then he should suck it up and move on. After all, that IS what being Hardcore Champion is all about.

Jim Ross: King, I would love to see you wrestle with broken ribs.

Jerry Lawler: Oh, I have.

Mike Tenay: When?

Jerry Lawler: .........what's with all these questions about me? Don't we have a match to call?

[In the ring, Blade begins to kick on The Rock once again, and now Road Dogg stomps on Ruthless. Blade goes for a elbowdrop onto The Rock, but The Rock moves out of the way and gets to his feet. Blade gets up and goes for a right hand, but The Rock blocks, kicks Blade in the midsection, and DDT's him right ontop the top of his head.]

Jim Ross: Look at The Rock go in the ring now!

Mike Tenay: It looks like he's got his second wind.

[Both Rock and Blade make their way to their feet. The beat up Rock has to hold himself up by the ring ropes.]

Jim Ross: The Rock better be careful standing against the rope. One good shot could knock him right out of this match.

[Blade runs at The Rock. The Rock lowers his head and he back body drops Blade right out of the ring.]

Howard Finkle: Blade has been eliminated!!

Jerry Lawler: NO! Blade is gone thanks to The Rock!

Mike Tenay: He out smarted Blade. He knew that if he was against the ropes like that, Blade would go to knock him over, but The Rock ducked down and uses a back body drop type move to get rid of Blade.

Jim Ross: That leaves just Road Dogg, The Rock, and the current champion Ruthless in this match.

[The Rock walks behind The Road Dogg and he yells some smack at him. Road Dogg turns around to go after him, but The Rock nails him with The Rock Bottom.]

Jim Ross: ROCK BOTTOM!! ROCK BOTTOM!! ROCK BOTTOM!!

Mike Tenay: Road Dogg walked into that one without even knowing he did.

[The Rock brings Road Dogg right back up to his feet. He brings Road Dogg over near the ropes and tries to get him over the ropes. Ruthless gets up to his feet in the mean time. He sees what is happening. He runs and hits The Rock in the back with a clothesline. All three go over the top rope from the force of the running clothesline. The Rock Dogg lands first. Ruthless and The Rock appear to land at the same time, but The Rock somehow hung onto the ropes good enough for just one foot to hit the ground until both of Ruthless' has hit. The ringside referees see this and they tell ring announcer Howard Finkle the winner.]

Howard Finkle: The winner of this match....and....NEW NWO Hardcore Champion THE ROCK!!

Jim Ross: That was unbelievably close to tell!

Mike Tenay: It was. But I have to agree with the call. The Rock's second foot touched the grounded a few seconds after both of the feet of Ruthless had already touched the ground. The Rock is the new champion, no doubt.

Jerry Lawler: No doubt? I don't know. You may know a lot about wrestling, but I don't think The Rock can be the projected winner. I think this should be considered "too close to call" for now.

Jim Ross: It just figures that we are in South Florida for something so debatable like this to happen, doesn't it!

Jerry Lawler: That reminds me, do we have a President Elect yet?

Mike Tenay: Not that I've heard about.

Jim Ross: Well, anyway, that was one hell of a match to start of this night. Up next is the TV title match between two lightweights, DX member X-Pac and Dex Holland.

Mike Tenay: This marks DX's second chance to gain some gold. Of course their first chance was in the last and only match so far.

Jerry Lawler: And their last chance is the ladder match between Neil Stylez and Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title, right.

Mike Tenay: Yeah, that match is the last one with a member of DX involved. But all of that and more is still to come. But now we have to get to the ring.

Jim Ross: Hold on a second. I just got word that after this next match, we will get some sort of interview from Kevin Kelly with none other than NWO CEO STEVE DAVIS!!

Jerry Lawler: Oh great, we get to hear him run his mouth once again. I hope that interview will be his last while he has any power in this company.

X-Pac vs Dex Holland
Television Championship

Howard Finkle: The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the NWO Television Championship.

[X-Pac's music plays. Green lights flash as the degenerate makes his way to the ring.]

Howard Finkle: Introducing first, he represents DeGeneration X, X-Pac!!

[Dex Holland's music begins to play. After a few moments, he and his valet Ann Archy come out from the back.]

Howard Finkle: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Ann Archy, Dex Holland!!

Mike Tenay: This is a big moment for both of these men. They both had to get by tuff opponents to get to this match tonight.

Jim Ross: Yeah, and it's not going to get much easier for them in this match.

[They are now both inside the ring. Holland goes for an attack first, but X-Pac  gets behind him quickly and gets him in an armbar. After a little struggle, Holland elbows X-Pac and the hold is broken. Holland now takes X-Pac's arm and hooks him in an armbar of his own.]

Jim Ross: This match is starting off very basic with an armbar from both of them.

Jerry Lawler: I am sure this will pick up soon, or this might end up as boring as a Hulk Hogan match.

Jim Ross: You mean things can be more boring than a Hulk Hogan match?

Jerry Lawler: Maybe watching grass grow is?

[X-Pac elbows Dex a few times, but the hold is not broken. So X-Pac mules kicks Holland, which very easily breaks the hold. X-Pac now turns and begin to stomp on Dex Holland.]

Jim Ross: X-Pac did finally get Dex Holland to release that armbar, but it took a low blow from that little cheat for it to happen.

[X-Pac brings Holland back up to his feet. X-Pac whips Holland into the ring corner. X-Pac follows Holland to that corner, and he lifts him up onto the top turnbuckle pad. X-Pac goes for a superplex, but Holland pushes X-Pac away and X-Pac goes down to the mat. Right away, Holland jumps off the ropes and nails X-Pac with a flying elbow drop.  Holland goes for the cover. The referee counts 1.....2... X-Pac kicks out.]

Jim Ross: That was close, I almost throught that we had a TV Champion crowned!

[They both get back up to their feet. X-Pac goes for a standing spin kick, but Holland ducks and he dropkicks X-Pac sending him back down to the mat. Holland grabs X-Pac by his head and hooks him in a headlock.]

Mike Tenay: After that little quick exchange, Dex Holland slows down the pace with a headlock on X-Pac.

[X-Pac fights his way back up to his feet. He grabs Holland by his waist and he hits a side suplex. They both lay on the mat for a few moments, then X-Pac slowly gets back up. X-Pac runs off of the ropes and he hits a quick leg drop. X-Pac gets right back up and he drops an elbow onto the chest of Holland. X-Pac now covers Holland in a very non shallot way. The referee counts 1.....2.. Dex gets a shoulder up.]

Jim Ross: X-Pac is NEVER going to beat someone like Dex Holland with a cover like that.

[X-Pac drags Dex over to a corner. He puts his put on Holland's chest and signals for the Bronco Buster.]

Jerry Lawler: He's calling for it. The Bronco Buster! Dex Holland about to feel something that he won't like at all.

[X-Pac trots to the other side of the ring, and then he runs straight at Dex Holland. Holland gets a boot up and X-Pac crashes into that.]

Jerry Lawler: Ouch, something sure did get busted, but I don't think X-Pac planned for that to happen.

[Dex Holland climbs to his feet. He goes to the top turnbukle of the corner he is in. He jumps off and nails a leg drop across the throat of X-Pac.]

Mike Tenay: That is not a good thing to happen to X-Pac. We all know his history of neck problems, and that could have very well added to that list.

[Holland pins X-Pac, hooking a leg. The referee counts 1.....2.....3]

Howard Finkle: The winner of this match, and NEW NWO Television Champion, Dex Holland!!

[Dex rolls out of the ring and celebrates with Ann Archy as he is given his new title.]

Jim Ross: In the first two matches of this evening, we have two brand new champions! First The Rock won the Hardcore Title and now Dex Holland is the brand new TV Champion.

Jerry Lawler: Hey Ross, since this match is over, does that mean he have to listen to Davis now?

Jim Ross: Yes.

Jerry Lawler: Damn!

[CEO Steve Davis is shown in his office room. He is relaxed in his huge leather chair eating from a bag of potato chips. After a few more seconds, there is a knock at the door. CEO Davis stops eating his chips.]

CEO Davis: Who's there?

Kevin Kelly: It's me, Keven Kelly.

CEO Davis: OK, come on in.

[The door is opened and Kevin Kelly comes into the room. Davis continues to eat from the bag of chips.]

Kevin Kelly: Well, you seemed pretty relaxed considering that you have a match later tonight for the control of this company.

[Davis puts the bag of chips on his desk.]

CEO Davis: You see, against Eric Bishoff in the ring, I don't have a thing to be worried about. Kevin, you know that I have wrestled in the past. Hell, I've even wrestled right here in the NWO under my wrestling name, Stevie D. I was under a twenty day contract. In that time I had a United States Title match. And if it wasn't for Maxx Payne, I would have beat The Superstar and won that title.

CEO Davis: But that didn't happen, and I don't really care about that anymore. Ever since then, I haven't been in the ring. I have been thinking about doing something else with my life, and that is to be the brains of the operation, and I am just that now with the NWO. But I can still get it done inside of the ring. I did that for many years, way before the NWO was ever made a few years back.

Kevin Kelly: Well, Mr. Davis....

CEO Davis: [Cutting off Kelly] Please....don't call me Mr. Davis. That is way too formal for my liking. You can call me CEO Davis.

Kevin Kelly: OK then.....CEO Davis....Eric Bishoff is no wrestler, that's no secret. But are you worried that the UWF will try to cost you the match, giving them complete control of the company?

CEO Davis: Look, I am no dumbass. I damn well know that they are going totry to pull some of that crap, so I am prepared for that. I have someone who will watch my back tonight just incase. The bottom line is that this match will be settled between just me and Bishoff, in the middle of the ring. And in that situation, ol' Easy E has a snow flakes chance in hell against me.

Kevin Kelly: Is there anything else that you want to say?

CEO Davis: There is actually, but your breath is killing me, so get the hell out of my office before I get you thrown out. I have to go get ready.

[Kevin Kelly slowly backs away from CEO Davis, and then he turns around and he walks out of the office.]

Jerry Lawler: I only agree with one thing that he said.

Mike Tenay: What would that be?

Jerry Lawler: Kevin Kelly does have bad breath. I can barley inhale when I pass him in the halls.

Jim Ross:  I thought that we are going to our next match, but I just got word from the back that "Mean" Gene is backstage with the challanger in tonights World Title Match, Sting.

(~The scene cuts from the announcers down at ringside to the backstage area where  "Mene" Gene Okerlund is standing along side  "The True Franchise" Sting.  Once Gene gets the go sign he begins the interview.~)

[ ~ "Mene" Gene Okerlund ~ ] Fans I am standing backstage with the man who tonight gets the chance to retire "The Franchise" Shane Douglas.  Now Stinger, I know that you have had many tough battles in your past, but I have to ask.  What is going through your mind right now with less than one hour before you put your career on the line against one of the greatest wrestlers of all time?

[ ~ "The True Franchise" Sting ~ ] Geneo, let me tell you a little something about The Stinger.  I never underestimate an opponent.  I am never unprepared for an opponent or any match that I happen to be involved in.  I always do my home work on the person I am going in!to the ring again.  Gene, The Stinger is always ready.  Tonight, is no different.  I have never been this ready to step into a wrestling ring before in my life.  As for what is going through my mind, that's very simple.  One thing.  The retirement of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas.  That's what this match is all about.  Once I retire Shane Douglas, everything will be back like it once was with the Net World Order ruling the pro wrestling world.  And myself, "The True Franchise" Sting at the top.

[ ~ "Mene" Gene Okerlund ~ ] Stinger, I don't mean to step on any toes here, but it sounds like to me, that your not doing this for the Net World Order or the fans.  It sounds to me, like your doing this for yourself.

[ ~ "The True Franchise" Sting ~ ] So what if I am?  I have given everything I have to the NWO and to all those fans out there.  Isn't it about time that I take something back?  Isn't about tim!e, that I do something for The Stinger?  Isn't it about time, that I do what ever the hell I want!  You're wright Gene.  I'm not doing this for the Net World Order.  I'm not doing this for those thousands of fans out there.  I'm doing this for Steve Borden.  This one is for me Gene.  Douglas has taken everything from me.  Now, it's time that I take it back.  I am not going to sit back and wait for things to happen any longer.  What I am going to do, is go out there tonight, beat the hell out of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, retire his ass, and take back what was once mine.  What will be mine again.  The Net World Order.

[ ~ "Mene" Gene Okerlund ~ ] I don't mean to question you on this, but I don't think that all of your Little Stingers are going to like your new attitude.

[ ~ "The True Franchise" Sting ~ ] And your point is what?  I already said Gene, I'm not doing this for them.  Besides, my fans!all know the same thing I do.  That I have been held back for far too long.  There is nothing any of them want to see more, than The Stinger defeating "The Franchise" Shane Douglas in the main event retirement match tonight and walking out with the Net World Order Championship.  The fans may not like my attitude tonight, but they all know one thing.  When it is all said and done, everything will be for the better.  Shane Douglas will be gone.  The Universal Wrestling Federation will be no more.  The Net World Order will be the top wrestling federation in the world again.  And The Stinger will be at the top of the wrestling world once again.

[ ~ "Mene" Gene Okerlund ~ ] I guess that I can see your point Stinger.  I still have to wonder about all of this, but I wish you the best of luck tonight.  One thing is for sure, one man isn't going to come back on Monday.

(~After Gene finishes up the interview Sting turns and!begins to walk towards the locker rooms as the scene fades back to the announcers.~)

Impure Authority vs TBA & ???
Tag Team Championship

Jerry Lawler: Ok, it time for the time for the Tag Team Championship match. I have been waiting for this one for a while. I really want to know who The Baltimore Assassin's mystery partner is.

Mike Tenay: Knowing TBA, he could of got anyone to be his partner. From The Chosen One to Lil' Elroy um...to..

Jerry Lawler: Big Stick? ha ha!

Jim Ross: Well, we are about to find out i just a few moments.

Howard Finkle: The following match is set for one fall, and it is for the NWO Tag Team Championship!

["Sad But True" begins to play and Triple X and The Undertaker make their way out.]

Howard Finkle: Introducing first, they are the NWO Tag Team Champions, Triple X and The Undertaker, Impure Authority!!

Jim Ross: Here come the champions down to the ring. In just under a minute, we will find out who TBA chose to be his partner!

Jerry Lawler: oh, I can't wait for this!

["Perfect People" by Pennywise plays and The Baltimore Assassin makes he way to the ring.]

Howard Finkle: And their opponents, first, from Baltimore, Maryland, The Baltimore Assassin!!

Jerry Lawler: He doesn't have anyone with him. Maybe he couldn't find anyone? I don't know of that many people who like him that much.

[TBA stands in the middle of the entrance aisle, but there is still no one out there as his partner. Then some music that hasn't been heard in a while plays. It's the LWO's music.]

Jerry Lawler: What a minute, is that Syzurz's music?

Mike Tenay: Yes, that is. I guess that means he is TBA's partner.

[Syzurz walks out, getting a pretty good pop from the fans. He and TBA get to the ring. The Undertaker steps out of the ring and goes over to his corner and Syzurz climbs to to his corner as  TBA enters the ring. Triple X and The Baltimore Assassin lock up in the middle ring and XXX sends TBA into the ropes. Aaron goes for a clothesline but TBA ducks it. XXX turns around and he's leveled by TBA with a clothesline. TBA kicks XXX in the stomach a few tiems and then he picks him up. TBA lifts XXX in the air and drops him for a back breaker. He covers XXX. The ref counts 1.....2.. Tripple X kicks out. Both men are up and TBA knocks down XXX with a drop kick. TBA walks over and tags in Syzurz. Syzurz gets in and he picks up XXX. He sends XXX into the ropes and he hits a shoulder block that sends XXX to the ground. Syzurz covers him. The ref counts 1.....2. The Undertaker makes the save. The ref forces The Undertaker back to the apron. TBA gets in and TBA and Syzurz send XXX into the ropes. They hit a double clotheline and TBA covers Aaron. Syzurz goes to the apron. The ref turns around and counts. 1.....2... XXX kicks out.]

Jim Ross: That was close!

Mike Tenay: Triple X is taking a beating in there.

Collins: I know. The Undertaker needs be tagged in.

[TBA picks XXX up and sends him into the ropes. As XXX hits the ropes Syzurz kicks him in the back. XXX stumbles across the ring and then TBA clotheslines him. Syzurz climbs the top tunrbuckle and he goes for a leg drop onto XXX, but he misses. Syzurz rolls out of the ring. XXX gets up and he picks TBA up and sends him into the ropes. XXX goes for a clothesline but TBA ducks it. TBA runs to the corner and tags in Syzurz. Syzurz comes in and he clothesline XXX. The Undertaker runs in and Syzurz levels him with a big standing dropkick. Syzurz picks The Undertaker up and he throws him over the ropes and to the outside. TBA turns to XXX and XXX levels him with a standing side kick. XXX drops down and covers TBA. The ref counts. 1.....2... TBA kicks out. On the outside The Undertaker slowly gets up. On the inside XXX sends TBA into the corner. XXX runs into the corner and hits a back elbow. He starts wailing away at TBA's mid-section as The Undertaker takes a chair and crawls in the ring. The ref tries to get XXX away from TBA but XXX pushes the ref down and he hits the mat.]

Jim Ross: The ref is down. This can't be good!

[The Undertaker is in the ring and he walks up to TBA and he has a chair in his hands. TBA turns around and The Undertaker swings the chair at him. TBA ducks and the chair smacks the head of Triple X. Syzurz climbs the top rope and he jumps off the top rope and hits The Undertaker in the back of the head with a missle toe dropkick. The Undertaker falls down and TBA covers him. Syzurz wakes the ref up and the ref counts. 1.....2.....3]

Howard Finkle: The winners of this match, and NEW NWO Tag Team Champions, The Baltimore Assassin and Syzurz!!

Jim Ross: They did it! The new team of Syzurz and The Baltimore Assassin have won the NWO Tag Team Titles!

Jerry Lawler: Didn't TBA say that the first team that would get a title shot would be The New Age Outlaws?

Mike Tenay: He did say that, but we will have to see if CEO Davis gives the Outlaws that title shot.

("Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple starts to play in the arena. Out walks "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, accompanied by his valet, Olga the Colossus. He has the World Heavyweight Championship belt over his shoulder as the seven-foot Russian behemoth walks behind him, trying to make sure nothing happens to him as he enters the ring. Douglas is laughing at everyone as the fans boo him like crazy. Absence has not made the heart grow fonder, the fans sure as hell haven't missed "The Franchise" as he enters the ring. He looks out at the audience, then grabs the mic away from the announcer.) DOUGLAS: CUT THE F**KING MUSIC! (Music fades as the fans start up with the chant of "SHANE SUCKS D**K!") Finally, "The Franchise" has returned to the ultimate hellhole, Miami, FREAKING FLORIDA! My God, this place smells like the armpits of the Crock himself! (Fans boo at the way Douglas trashes the Rock, how dare he!) And speaking of that Dr. Seuss-rhyming, no-talent, pathetic, green eggs and ham eatin' loser, why the hell he would want to come back to this place I have no idea! I mean, let's think about it for a moment, people! The Crock can do whatever the hell he wants, he can go wherever he pleases, he can just about do whatever the voices in that egghead of his tell him to do! Of course, he's just like the rest of ya, a piece of garbage that was last found swept up after the Gonzalez fiasco with that little brat Elian! (Fans start throwing trash into the ring, they don't appreciate the insults Douglas heaps on them.) You inbreds know the whole damn thing is true, don't deny it! By the way, I know that the last time I was here I didn't necessarily make the Gonzalez family happy! That being said, folks, I'm here tonight to make amends! Hey, DROP THE F**KING CHALUPA, RETARDS! (Douglas laughs his head off as the fans start screaming for Sting! A couple of fans rush the ring, but are quickly stopped by Miami police and security. However, a third fan gets through, only to be grabbed by Olga! She stands there, hand wrapped around his throat, looking to squish the boys' neck. However, Douglas notices this, and stops her.) DOUGLAS: What does this say, Olga, if we treat the fans like this! I mean, come on! Let's show some respect to this poor, decrepit, bastardized soul! After all, he may teach us something! (Walks up to the boy, who is now not saying anything, he's looking nervously up at the Russian Amazon.) Son, what's your name? BOY: My name is Harold, sir. DOUGLAS: How old are you, Harold? BOY: Um...sixteen, sir. DOUGLAS: Tell us, Harold, who is your favorite wrestler in the NWO? HAROLD: I'm a huge fan of the Rock, Blade, and Sting! (Fans explode at the sound of the name of Sting! Meanwhile, Douglas pulls out what appears to be a ballot, it looks similar to the ballot that had many Floridians confused.) DOUGLAS: Now, I want to prove that you're smarter than all these Florida-loving, orange-juice drinking, bingo hall-hopping, Social Security check-cashing dumbasses! I mean, SHUT UP, PEOPLE! (Fans are booing again.) You people have no respect for what I'm about to do! Anyway, Harold, ignore the inbred losers out there! I want you to take this pen and ballot, and vote for who you think is the true "Franchise" of the NWO and the UWF! (Harold pours over the ballot, a close-up by the camera reveals the only name on there is "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. Harold then hands the ballot back to Douglas, unmarked.) DOUGLAS: Harold, I wanted you to mark your choice, the ballot is not marked at all. HAROLD: That's because... DOUGLAS: I specifically chose you to mark a choice! No matter, I'll let you try one more time. (Harold goes over the ballot, then hands it back to Douglas, again unmarked.) DOUGLAS: Apparently, the stupidity has gotten to your head, you dumbass! Well, enough of your crap, I don't need this! Get your ass out of here! HAROLD: But, sir... Sting isn't on the... (That's as far as he gets, for Olga grabs the boy, presses him over her head, and into the startled arms of Miami police as the fans boo and vent.) DOUGLAS: Let this show that all Florida citizens are redneck retards! I mean, seriously! A simple ballot, and he couldn't fill in Shane Douglas as the rightful choice as the man in charge of the NWO as the Franchise! HEY, COPS! GET HIS ASS OUT OF HERE, HE COULD HAVE PULLED A SWITCHBLADE ON ME AND YOU LET HIM GET INTO THE RING! I'll sue your asses on Monday! (Fans boo and chant "We Want Sting!" Meanwhile, the cops take Harold to the nursing station.) DOUGLAS: Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe the conspiracy against "The Franchise!" This shouldn't surprise you, should it? While the rest of my opponents are smiling, pandering, shaking their fat asses in front of the camera, the greatest wrestler in the NWO, UWF, and the world today was working his tail off for this evening to come! For tonight, contrary to what the rumdums running this place have you believe, will truly begin the "New Era" of the NWO! That's right, ladies and germs, the era of the UWF and "The Franchise" is only a few days away, and now's your chance to scrape your knees and jump on the bandwagon! I'll make sure we have plenty of Band-Aids on hand. Of course, don't get the wrong idea, I don't really give a damn about any of you! Unlike my pantyhose wearing opponents, I am only in this for myself and will freely admit that! However, my opponent for tonight, a loser by the name of Sting, has gone out of his way to pretend that he is the one that you want to see, the one who is the "Franchise" of this God-forsaken place! (Fans explode in agreement, Douglas goes into a fit as the fans start chanting, "WE WANT STING!" Douglas climbs a turnbuckle to tell the fans to be quiet, but it's no use. Finally, he continues.) I keep having to remind you, Sting, while you are merely "The Real Franchise", I am "The Franchise!" You are the one who runs this bitch in your own fantasies, I am the man whom this place revolves around! I'm not going to get into the ring to play games with you, Sting! I'm there to beat your ass all over the ring, and maybe take a few inches off that ego of yours in the process! When I'm done with you, you'll wish this was a game, but then you'll realize that real life takes the driver seat over the fantasies you live in! In fact, the only thing you'll be asking yourself is "Why the hell was I enough of a dumbass to want to step into the ring with Shane Douglas and put my career on the line, to boot?" You think I'm playing with your ass, Sting? This sure as hell ain't the case, you freaking loser! I'm getting damn sick and tired of letting losers and morons like you jugbutts take all the glory, leaving the greatest thing to hit the NWO holding the bag! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have a place to wrestle, you'd be nowhere! If I'm the one retiring tonight, the NWO dies a horrible death, you can't survive without me! But, that's not my problem anymore, you're the one who has made it to where it comes to this! Now, Sting has decided to take this place back, or the position he never really had. He is jealous of what "The Franchise" has meant to this place, and he would rather have his name in the headlines than mine! He's arrogant enough to actually believe that he is greater than the legend of Shane Douglas, that there is actually someone out there who can capture the attention of the people! Well, Sting-less, I have a major news bulletin for you! "The Franchise" Shane Douglas is now the one clearly in control of the NWO! You are merely a figurehead, for this place revolves around me and only me! Remember the previous ones who didn't let me do my thing, and they're gone! Don't make me do the same to you. Of course, that would mean you lose tonight, which will happen! (Fans howl in protest, how dare he trash Sting.) Sting, I just have this to say...I'm not going to beat your sorry ass within an inch of your life! I want you to walk out of here tonight on your own power. I want you and all your little Ronald McDonald wanna-bes in tears as you leave this ring tonight! I want you to see what the world finally will know about you, and that's what I have known all along! That Sting is a fraud, a phony, and does not deserve to be in the same ring with Shane Douglas! You had your chance, you had the moment, now be prepared to reap what you plant! When all is said and done, you'll be gone FOREVER! Ladies and gentlemen, when the night is over, I know you'll all join me in saying farewell to the Stinger, and wishing that he NEVER show his face in the wrestling ring again! Good-bye, Stinger, and KISS MY ASS! HIT THE F**KING MUSIC! ("Perfect Strangers" hits, and the Franchise leaves the ring. The fans boo Douglas all the way back up the ramp.)

(The fans in attendance at the America Airlines arena are looking for something a bit more unexpected than the previous happenings they have encountered earlier on in the evening. Nearly everywhere in the arena, people are getting up out of their seats to get something to eat or drink or just to go to the bathroom. Suddenly the lights in the arena begin to flicker on and off. Two pyros then streak across the arena forming an X shape, one pyro is green and the other is black. Then "The Kings" by Run DMC begins to blast over the PA system. Like a chain reaction, every seat in the arena is filled and the fans rise in a standing ovation for one of their favorite superstars...Neil Stylez! Stylez appears at the top of the entrance ramp with a black Degeneration X shirt on which has the words "Suck It" in the back in neon green colors, black Adidas nylon pants, and black wrestling boots. Stylez holds his hands up in an X shape and does the famous DX ! taunt to the crowd and then makes his way towards the ring. Numerous signs for Degeneration X begin to rise through out the crowd as Stylez slides into the ring with a mic now in hand. Stylez encircles the ring with a wide smile on his face and a glimmer in his eye. The fans slowly but surely calm down and once the arena is completely quiet, Stylez speaks.)

Neil Stylez:It's only natural that I come out here and speak to all of you on such an important night for the Net World Order. I mean, this event literally decides the future of the Net World Order so how could I miss it!? Well, as you all are probably well aware of, I am scheduled to face off against Chris Jericho. Now granted, Jericho is one hell of a competitor but I am superior to him in every which way. In fact, Jericho has nothing to boast of over me while I have an uncountable number of things to boast of over him. One being my incredible stamina when a hot chick is with me either at my mansion back in Pittsburgh or on the scenes at Spread Your Legs Entertainment. Another being my amazing athletic ability in the squared circle and out of it as well. And yet another being my clearly distinguished and famous style which every young man around can imitate but certainly not duplicate. Not only that, but I have all the women in the United S! tates in a frenzy over me and my perfect bod. There isn't a human alive that doesn't know who Neil Stylez is but when you ask them about Chris Jericho they go "Huh?". You see Chris, I made this federation and you were just a guy that won the Telivision title fifty thousand times. I could win that piece of tin any time I want to but I have more important goals to accomplish. Chris, even when you were in a stable, they never really needed you. You were just there for comedic relief and I have to give you credit. You do make a fine comedian but you absolutely suck at wrestling!

Jericho, admit it boy. I have you beat in every category there is to think of. The reason for why we are fighting each other tonight is way above me. Maybe the staff out back felt sorry for you and wanted your career to end gloriously by me defeating you and sending your ass to the local hospitable down the road. Maybe someone out back thought it would be a wise choice of a match for me to battle it out against one Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental title. In my opinion, someone without truely knowing it has damned Chris Jericho to a painful and pathetic future. After I am through with him he will no longer be capable of walking one step nor utter another intelligent sentence of speach ever again. Jericho will be crippled in the body and in the mind. His life will be devastated and everything that he has ever cherished will become dull and faint. There will be nothing left for Jericho...well, maybe by some miracle I won't go that hard on the kid. May! be I'll spare him some sweet mercy...but either way, Jericho will never be the same after our match together. He might seem the same physically but mentally, he'll be totally different.

Let me just remind everyone that I was the Intercontinental champion before. Hell, let me remind everyone that I was THE NWO a little over a year ago and I plan on becoming that again. By winning tonight against Jericho I will march closer to complete domination over the entire Net World Order. Then I will once again be on the top and I can guarantee you that no one and I mean absolutely no one will pull me down again! Of course, Degeneration X will be the major power here in the Net World Order soon and there will be a lot of changes once we are in control. Now, if you ain't down with what I just said and what I'm going to do to that cheap ass whore call Chris Jericho, then I got two words for ya! SUCK IT!"

(Neil Stylez drops the mic and rolls out of the ring."The Kings" by Run DMC makes another run over the PA system. Stylez then exits through the entrance curtain.)

Chris Jericho vs Neil Stylez
Intercontinental Championship
Ladder Match

Howard Finkle: The following contest is a LADDER MATCH for the NWO Intercontinental Championship.

[The Y2J Countdown begins. It gets to zero and then "Break The Walls Down" plays and Chris Jericho comes to the ring.]

Howard Finkle: Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Canada, he represents the UWF, "The Loin Heart" Chris Jericho!!

["The Kings" by Run-DMC plays. Neil Stylez walks out from the back.]

Howard Finkle: And his opponent, he represents DeGeneration X, Neil Stylez!!

Mike Tenay: So far DX is nothing for two in title matches tonight. This is their last chance to get themselves a title tonight.

[Jericho starts things off with an armdrag takedown on Stylez, then locks on an armbar. Neil soon gets back up to his feet and rams an elbow to the midsection of Jericho, then backdrops him. Both get back up and Jericho is caught by Stylez, who belly-to-belly suplexes him over. Stylez picks up Jericho and whips him to the corner, then climbs outside of the ring to get the ladder.]

Jim Ross: Neil is going to the outside to fetch the ladder.

[Jericho isn't dazed long, and soon follows after, sprinting across the ring, onto the turnbuckle, and nailing a plancha onto Neil Stylez.]

Jim Ross: What a High Flying Move By Chris Jericho!

Mike Tenay: That might keep Neil Stylez down for a while.

[Jericho rolls back up to his feet and heads for the ladder in the middle of the ramp. Stylez gets up and starts to follow Jericho. Jericho grabs the ladder, but Neil grabs the other side, and they begin to fight over it.]

Jerry Lawler: Look, it's a tug-of-war for the ladder.

Mike Tenay: Neil Styles is bigger than Jericho, so I don't think Jericho will last long if this keeps up.

[Neil rams the ladder into the forehead of Jericho, who is knocked rolling over backwards. Stylez then slams the ladder into the midsection of Jericho before dropping it. Jericho clutches his abs in pain. Stylez hooks Jericho in a double underhook, and DDTs him onto the ladder.]

Jim Ross: What a Move onto the Ladder!

Mike Tenay: Jericho's head was just drilled into the unforgiving steel of the ladder.

[Neil then picks up the ladder and carries it towards the ring. Jericho gets up and charges towards the ring, grabbing Neil's ankle as he is sliding back in. Jericho yanks him out, and starts to unload on him, then grabs his head and slams it into the steel stairs. Then he rams it into the turnbuckle pole!]

Jerry Lawler: Now Neil Stylez's head is being introduced into some cold hard steel!

[Jericho then climbs onto the apron, and steps through the ropes. Jericho picks up the ladder and sets it up in the center of the ring. Jericho begins to ascend the ladder, and about the first few rungs up when Stylez manages to get to his feet and slides back into the ring. Jericho is within reach of the title before Neil pushes the ladder over. Jericho falls off and lands with the ropes between his legs, and grabs his groin in pain as he tumbles to the outside.]

Jerry Lawler: Ouch!

Jim Ross: There may not be any little Jerichoholics running around in the future after that.

[Neil sets up the ladder, and begins to climb it. Jericho slowly rolls himself back into the ring. Stylez grabs a hold of the title at the same time Jericho pushes the ladder over. Neil holds on as the title unbuckles and he falls straight down, but he has the title.]

Howard Finkle: The winner of this match, and NEW Intercontinental Champion, Neil Stylez!!


Gene Simmons vs Maxx Payne
United States Championship
Old School Match

Howard Finkle:Ladies and gentlemen, this next match was pretaped and as you all are probably well aware of, was an Old School match. Since this match was pretaped, you shall all watch it off of the titan tron. Let me just give the participants a proper introduction. Introducing first, he is the reigning United States champion and has managed to hold onto the title for over three months, he is Maxx Payne! And the challenger, Gene Simmons! Let me warn you all that this match took place in an old school so it will be bloody, insane, and brutal. Now sit back and enjoy.

(The match opens with a bang as Gene Simmons runs at Maxx Payne and knocks him over with a clothesline. Maxx Payne easily gets back up and begins to hammer on Simmons with rights and lefts. Simmons eventually gets fed up with this and resorts to spearing Payne into one of the nearest lockers. Maxx Payne didn't feel anything from the collision with the locker but he did get pretty angry. In fact Payne comes right at Simmons with a powerful chokeslam which lands Gene back down on the shiny ceramic floor of the closed school. Payne follows up the attack by stomping the life out of Simmons and then ending it with a big atomic leg drop.)

Mike Tenay: This is just complete insanity! These two may end up sending each other to the local hospitable if things continue the way they have been!

Jerry Lawler: Lighten up, Mike. This match is the greatest match I have ever seen! I can't wait till they start bleeding.

Jim Ross: All I have to say is can you spell slobber knocker!?

(Payne is picking Simmons up. Payne then leads Gene to the glass window which used to house the principal's office and throws Simmons right through the glass! The shattering of a million shards of glass can be heard but surprisingly, Gene is only slightly cut in a couple spots. Payne smiles at the carnage but doesn't stop there. Payne walks over to Simmons, picks him up, and power bombs him onto an old oak desk. The desk collapses upon impact and Simmons struggles to get to his feet. Meanwhile, Payne searches the office and finds a wire that once connected some sort of machine to a power outlet in the office. Payne then uses the wire to choke Simmons. After about 20 seconds, Simmons seems like he is about to faint. By some miracle, Gene elbows Payne a few times in the ribs and gives him a rake to his eyes. Simmons then squares Payne up and gives him a massive super kick to the jaws! Payne goes flying backwards and hits his head against the wall. Gene Simmons sets a dusty old lamp on the floor and DDTs Payne face first into it. Maxx Payne rolls around in pain on the floor ,but Simmons has more plans to forefill. Gene picks Payne up and vertical suplexes him onto a folded chair. Payne lets loose a few groans of pain and a sly grin spreads across Gene's face.)

Jerry Lawler: If I was in Gene's situation, I'd get up to that roof and ring that damn bell!

Jim Ross: Looks like Gene is going to do just that but he wants to drag Maxx Payne along with him. These two may be heading for hell itself, folks.

(Gene Simmons picks Maxx Payne up by his hair and walks him down the long halls, past all the lockers and the old class rooms. After a few minutes, Simmons finally reaches the stairs which lead up to the second floor. Unfortunately for Gene, Maxx is waking from his daze. Maxx Payne gives Gene Simmons a hard right punch to the head and a kick to the gut. Payne then picks Simmons up and gorilla press slams him onto the first step. Payne then jumps three feet up into the air and lands a knee drop across Gene's vulnerable chest. Payne then drags Gene up the steps and they reach the second floor. Payne executes a fantastic swinging neckbreaker on Simmons and closes the mount of offense with a sizzors kick to the back of Gene's head. Gene Simmons will not give up! Simmons rises to his feet and smirks at Payne. Payne stares at Gene Simmons in disbelief but quickly regains focus when he drop kicks Simmons. Simmons does drop to the floor but hops back up like Payne just gave him a little trip. Maxx staggers back and this time he attempts a bulldog on Simmons but makes a slight miscalculation and ends up hitting the side of his head against the beginning of the rail that leads to the downstairs of the school. Simmons capitolizes on the mistake with a speedy hurricarana and then puts the fallen Maxx Payne in a painful submission hold called the sharp shooter. Gene Simmons just lets go after Maxx Payne had lost conscienceness minutes ago and makes his way down the second floor hallway towards the third flight of stairs which will lead to the roof of the school.)

Mike Tenay: Gene Simmons thinks that he has put Maxx Payne down for the count but I'm not so sure about that. Maxx is, after all, a very resiliant athlete and probably the toughest superstar that the NWO/UWF has to offer.

Jim Ross: I can't argue with you on that one, Tenay. Payne is an amazing athlete and I believe that this fight still is not over yet.

Jerry Lawler: Gene Simmons has this match in the bag! He's already closing in on the third flight of stairs.

(As Gene Simmons aproaches the third flight of stairs, Maxx Payne regains consiousness and makes a mad dash down the hall towards Gene Simmons. Simmons doesn't see it coming when Payne bulldozes him over into the wall. Payne then gets up to his feet and chokes Gene with his boot. Simmons kicks his legs as he struggles to escape Maxx Payne's clutches. Payne releases his foot from Gene's neck and looks around for a few seconds. His eyes dart around till they land on one particular object....a mop. Payne picks the mop up and runs at Simmons with it. Simmons tries to duck but he's too late. Payne swings the mop and it his Simmons right smack in the stomach. Payne swings the mop on three other occassions, hitting Simmons in the head and leg area. Then Payne snaps the mop in two and throws the pieces up in the air in a blind rage. Payne picks up anything he can get his hands on and beats Simmons with it. Books, ladders, bottles, trash cans, buckets, sharp metal objects, steel pipes, and practically every other thing that can be found in a school is what Maxx Payne uses to cause some form of bodily harm onto Gene's body. Gene gets busted open on his forehead and the blood trickles down his face. Then Payne embarks on his journey to the roof of the school not knowing that Gene Simmons is far from being defeated.)

Mike Tenay: Payne is nearing the roof ,but Simmons cuts him off at the pass! Simmons is now repeatedly slamming Payne's head against the wall. Payne counters with a knee to the groin and a headbutt.

(Payne then opens the door and the two continue the fight on top of the school roof. Gene Simmons puts Payne in a sleeper hold ,but Payne breaks away and executes a back body drop on Simmons. Payne picks Simmons up and drops him back down with a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. Payne makes a run for the bell which is only about 30 feet away. Simmons runs after Payne and clubs him down from behind. Simmons then gets a devious look on his face. Gene puts Payne in a pumphandle slam type manuever and ends up flinging Payne clear off the roof of the building. Payne luckily lands on top of a dumpster which wasn't too far down. Simmons spots a ladder that leads directly down to where Maxx Payne is lieing in a heap. Simmons then backs up a few paces and runs for the edge of the building.)

Jim Ross: He isn't going to do what I hope to God he will not do, is he?

Jerry Lawler: I hope he permanently disfigures that punk Maxx Payne!

(Gene Simmons flies off the top of the building and does a 450 splash and lands on top of the already injured Maxx Payne with a sickening thud. It takes a while, but Simmons regains his bearings and slowly climbs up the ladder to the roof of the school and rings the bell for the win. The ref, who no one has taken notice of through out the entire match, raises Gene Simmons' hand in victory. Simmons has a grin on his blood smeared face. He enjoyed every single moment of the match. The ref hands Gene Simmons the United States title and the scene on the titan tron fades to black. Howard Finkle is now seen in the center of the ring with a mic in hand.)

Howard Finkle: As you all just saw, your winner and the new United States champion is...Gene Simmons!

Jerry Lawler: The UWF has struck once again!

Jim Ross: You'd be better off keeping your mouth shut, Jerry.

Mike Tenay: What a match indeed! Maxx Payne and Gene Simmons both gave over one hundred percent in this match up. Both men should be congradulated.

Eric Bishoff vs CEO Davis
For Control of the Company

Howard Finkle: This match is set for one fall, and it is for control of the Net World Order.

[Eric Bishoff's music plays and he makes his way to the ring. He looks to be in a good mood, as he his a huge smile on his face.]

Howard Finkle: Introducing first, he represents the UWF, "Easy E" Eric Bishoff!!

Jim Ross: Bishoff seems pretty happy considering he will be in for one hell of a ass kicking by CEO Davis.

Jerry Lawler: CEO Davis can't touch Eric Bishoff inside of the ring. As you know, Bishoff is a karate master and he will knock out Davis before he can get one move off!

[The PPV's theme, "When World's Collide" by Powerman 5000 plays and NWo CEO Steve Davis makes his way to the ring. He is running and he slides into the ring. Davis hits Bishoff with some right hands to start the match. The referee tells Davis to open those fists, but Davis totally ignoring the referee, and he keeps up the right hands. Bishoff counters a punch, and a hits swift kick to the stomach of Davis, and now a round house kick from Bishoff]

Jim Ross: CEO Davis started the match off in control with many punches, but two stiff kicks from Eric Bishoff sent him down to the mat.

[Bishoff stomps Davis in his stomach, and then Bishoff brings Davis to his feet. Bishoff goes for another kick, but Davis blocks it and grabs Bishoff's head and executes a neckbreaker.]

Mike Tenay: Bishoff went for another one of those kicks, but Davis blocked and he hit Bishoff with a neckbreaker.

[Davis goes for a pin. The ref counts 1.....2... Bishoff kicks out.]

Jim Ross: It's to early for Davis to get the pin.

[Davis picks Bishoff up. Davis sets him up for a suplex, but he is holding him making all the blood rush to Eric's head...and he finally drops him with a brian buster.]

Mike Tenay: That was a nice looking stalling brianbuster by CEO Davis. I guess even though he has not been in the ring for many months, he still knows he way around.

[At the entrance way, Gene Simmons comes out with his newly won United States Championship belt.]

Jim Ross: Great, here comes Gene Simmons. The UWF is going to screw CEO Davis out of this match!

Jerry Lawler: Don't assume anything, JR. Because do you know what assume means? It means making an ass out of you and me. Ass-u-me.

[Simmons makes his way down the aisle and he stands right next to the ring. Inside of the ring, Davis goes for a pin. The ref counts 1.....2.... Simmons pulls the ref out of the ring and knocks him down with a big right hand. Davis stands up and looks at what is going on. Simmons slides into the ring. Simmons goes right at Davis and he hits him in his head with the U.S. Title.]

Jim Ross: Oh Come On! This is Highway Robbery! CEO Davis had Eric Bishoff beat in the middle of the ring.

[Simmons now repeatedly kicks CEO Davis.]

Jerry Lawler: I guess Davis was lying about having someone watching his back. If he did have someone, then they would have been out here already.

[Simmons goes over to a ring corner and stands on the bottom turnbuckle pad holding up the US Title. Out the back, a person runs down to the ring. That person is non other than Bob "Hardcore" Holly! Holly slides into the ring.]

Jim Ross: It's Bob Holly! Holly is and old buddy of CEO Davis, and he must he who he was talking about before in his interview!

Jerry Lawler: No! Gene, Turn Around!!

[Simmons still doesn't know Holly is in the ring. Holly walks up right behind Simmon. Holly pulls Simmons leg from under him. Simmons holds onto the ropes with his arms, so Holly kicks him as hard as he can in his grion area. Simmons falls down and he rolls out of the ring.]

Mike Tenay: Good, Gene Simmons had that coming to him! Ever since he burnt the NWO Title with Shane Douglas.

[Eric Bishoff gets up to his feet. While Holly is talking smack to Gene Simmons, Bishoff picks up the US title that feel behind Holly. As Bishoff is set to hit Holly from behind, Holly turns around and Bishoff freezes in place. Holly kicks Bishoff in the stomach, which causes him to drop the title belt. Then Holly proceeds to to lifts Bishoff and nails him with The Holly-Caust. Bishoff's head crashes right into the US title belt. Holly now leaves the ring to go after Gene Simmons. As the ref slowly gets back into the ring, Davis slides the US title out of the ring and he covers Bishoff. Simmons tries to slide back into the ring, but Bob Holly holds him back by his ankle. The ref slowly counts 1..........2..........3!!!]

Howard Finkle: The winner of this match, CEO STEVE DAVIS!!!

Jerry Lawler: NO! He cheated to win.

Jim Ross: Well, as you always say, King, it's only cheating if you get caught.

[Simmons finally does get into the ring, but it is way too late. Davis rolls out of the ring and he and Bob Holly walk away from the ring, to the backstage area. Next up, The World Title Match.]

(~"Seek And Destroy" by Metallica begins blasting out over the arena's loud speaker system as the fans let out a huge cheer waiting for the main event to begin.  The cheers get even bigger as "The True Franchise" Sting begins to make his way out from the back.  Sting is wearing his wrestling grear and a black leather trench coat and has a mic in his right hand as he walks to the ring.  Sting slowly walks up the ring steps and climbs into the ring between the ropes.  As the music continues to play Sting climbs up to all four turnbuckles and yells out to the fans who cheer at each yell.  After the fourth turnbuckle, Sting jumps back down and begins to speak after "Seek And Destroy" by Metallica has cut out.~)

[ ~ "The True Franchise" Sting ~ ] Shane Douglas.  Your time is up pal.  It's time to get your "Franchise" boy ass out of the Net World Order for good.  I have had just about enough of you Dou!glas and now it's time for all of this stupid crap of yours to stop.  So come on out Douglas, and take what's coming to you because It's Showtime Folks!

["Deep Purple" plays. Just about everyone in the arena boos as loud as they can as The World Champion Shane Douglas comes to the ring.]

Howard Finkle: And his opponent, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he is the UWF World Champion, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!!

Jim Ross: Tonight there has been all new champions, I wonder if that will stand true in this match as well.

[Shane and Sting circle each other. They lock up and Douglas throws Sting into the corner. Douglas runs and goes for a clothesline but Sting moves out of the way. Sting turns Douglas around and begins hammering him with right and left hands. Sting takes Douglas and sends him into the other corner. Sting runs in and goes for a Stinger Splash, but Douglas lifts his left leg up and kicks Sting in the face. Douglas picks Sting up and hits a spinebuster! Douglas makes the cover. The ref counts 1....2.. Sting kicks out.]

Jim Ross: Oh Sting barely kicked out of that.

Jerry Lawler: If Sting didn't, then he would have been out of the NWO. Damn, I wish he didn't kick out.

[Douglas picks Sting up and bounces him against the ropes. Sting reverses the irish whip into one of his own. Shane is sent across the ring and Sting comes running at him. As Douglas hits the ropes Sting jumps in the air and lands a flying clothesline. Sting rolls Douglas out to the floor. Douglas slowly gets up but when he does Sting does a suicide dive between the ropes that sends both men to get the ground. Sting is the first one to get up. He picks Douglas up and sends him into the guard rail. Sting runs at him and goes for a Stinger splash again but Douglas moves out of the way and Sting hits the guard rail. Douglas backs away a little but then walks back to Sting. Douglas goes for a right hand but Sting blocks it. Douglas tries another right hand but Sting blocks it. Sting lands two right hand of his own. Sting kicks Douglas in the mid-section and hits a DDT onto the mat! Sting gets up and he sends Douglas into the ring.

Mike Tenay: Sting was one second away from capturing the gold and retiring Shane Douglas!

Douglas covers Morrison. The ref counts 1.....2... Sting kicks out. Douglas gets up and he picks Sting up. Douglas sends Sting into the ropes and Johnson telegraphs a back body drop.

After a few moment of both men laying on the mat, Douglas gets up to his feet. Douglas picks Sting up and sends him into the ropes and he knees Sting in the mid-section. Douglas goes to kick Sting, but Sting grabs his leg, pushes him down, and hooks him in the Scorpion Deathlock!]

Jim Ross: Scorpion Deathlock! Scorpion Deathlock!

Mike Tenay: And they are in the middle of the ring. It's going to show how  badly Shane wants this if he can get out of this.

[Douglas tries to wiggle out of the hold, but it is to no avail. The referee ask Shane a few times if he gives up, but Douglas hasn't yet. Shane gets his forearms under him, and he uses them to slowly pull himself towards the side of the ring. As Sting notices that Shane is getting somewhat close to the ropes, he sits back more and really puts more pressure on Shane. This causes Shane to stop all of the foward momentum that he had going.]

Jim Ross: I think Shane Douglas is about to give up. I don't think has back can take much more of this move.

Jerry Lawler: Shane probably would rather have his back snaped into to than give up to Sting in this kind of a match.

Mike Tenay: Yeah, if he gives up, that means he is gone from the NWO.

[Shane reaches towards the ropes, but he is still a good two feet away. He begins to pull himself towards the ropes again, but Sting stops this by leaning back again. Douglas reaches towards the ropes again, but he can't get to them and it looks like he passes out.]

Jim Ross: Has Shane Douglas passed out from the pain?

Mike Tenay: I don't know. I can't really tell from this place. It does appear that he has, though.

[After a few more moments, Douglas begins to more a little. With whatever energy he has left, he makes one more pull towards the ropes. This time, he just gets four of his fingers on the bottom ring rope, and this forces Sting to break the hold. Sting picks up Douglas and hits him with a vertical suplex that lands Shane in the middle of the ring. Sting tries to hooking him in the Scorpion Deathlock again, but Shane rolls Sting up in a small package. The ref counts 1......2..... Sting kicks out.]

Mike Tenay: Shane surprised Sting and he almost did pick up the win with a small package.

[They both get back to their feet. Sting goes to attack Shane, but Douglas kicks Sting, and then he hits him with The Franchiser. They both now lay on the mat again.]

Jim Ross: The effects from The Scorpion Deathlock are setting in on Shane Douglas. After he hit The Franchiser, he couldn't have gone right for the cover.

Jerry Lawler: If he could had, then this match would be over by now.

[Douglas rolls over and gets an arm across the chest of Sting. The ref counts 1.....2.... Sting gets a shoulder up.]

Jim Ross: STING KICKED OUT! He kicked out after The Franchiser!

Jerry Lawler: I can't believe that Sting did, and I don't think that Shane can either.

Mike Tenay: It was that delay of just a few seconds after Shane hot the move that was the difference between a three count and a long two count.

[Shane and Sting get back up at about the same time. Sting hits Douglas with a standing dropkick and Sting goes right for the pin. The ref counts 1.....2.... Douglas kicks out. Sting is now up and hit lifts Douglas up. Sting goes to send Douglas into the  corner, but Douglas reverses and Sting goes hard into the turnbuckle pads. Douglas brings Sting out of the corner, and hit nails him with The Pittsburgh Plunge!]

Jerry Lawler: It has to be over now! Shane just connected with The Pittsburgh Plunge!

[Shane covers Sting, hooking a leg. The referee counts 1........2.........3!!!]

Howard Finkle: The winner of this match, and STILL The World Champion, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!!!!!!!!!

Jim Ross: I can't believe this! Sting is now gone forever from the Net World Order.

Mike Tenay: But that was a great match. Both men gave it their all, but somehow Shane Douglas pulls out the victory.

Jim Ross: Well, tonight was a good and bad night for the UWF. Eric Bishoff lost all of his power to CEO Davis, but Shane Douglas has kept the World Title. Who knows what will happen now. For Mike Tenay and Jerry "The King"  Lawler, this is Good ol' JR saying see you next time!
