Welcome back to the show! Our next match is another eight-man elimination tag team match that will pit the Ontario Colour Show and Stiff Competition against members of Hell's Bikers and the Hammer of the Gods. We'll get to that in a few moments... but right now, we're hearing that Paul Canyon is backstage, talking to Brujah of all people! There's a camera on that, and let's take a look at it now:
Backstage...
Paul Canyon is standing in a backstage hallway, dressed to wrestle, and talking to Brujah. Brujah is wearing the VCW Television Title, and looking like he doesn't really want to be there.
P. Canyon: Okay... I've pretty much said what I had to say. Just think about it, okay? She's not really happy about you teaming with Lorenzo.
Brujah gives an annoyed, disdainful stare at Paul Canyon.
Brujah: Thanks for coming by to tell me a bunch of stuff I already know. I appreciate that you're looking out for Jennie enough to come by and tell me how to conduct my life, but I don't need you to tell me this stuff. You've got problems of your own... maybe you better get your own act together before trying to play marriage counsellor, okay?
P. Canyon: I know you already KNOW what I'm telling you... but I want you to think about it. It looks like you have a choice to make.
Brujah: I've got a choice to make? No, my choice is already made. Everyone else has the choosing to do. I'm here to show up, win matches and defend my VCW Television Title in the name of the Plague, pick up my check, and go home. If anything... Jennie's the one who has to make a decision. If she decides she's not happy with me... then I'd hate to see her go, but I don't want her to make herself miserable for my sake. I'm not the one beating up women and taking cheap shots. Why don't you do yourself a HUGE favor and take this one up with Lorenzo, since he's the one stirring everything up? And just leave me the hell out of it, okay!?
P. Canyon: Come on, you know that wouldn't accomplish anything.
Brujah: Yeah, and talking to me will? Look, you've got my word that I'll never get my kicks by beating up women, but I can't speak for anyone else, okay? I'm getting just a little bit tired of this. I'm not Lorenzo's probation officer. I have no control over him. I might as well be asking you to keep Owen from being such a pain in the ass. ... And speak of the Devil...
Paul Canyon turns around as Owen Addison walks onto the scene, staring back and forth between Paul Canyon and Brujah in surprised anger.
O. Addison: Hey, look... if I'm not interrupting your little visit with this hired thug, maybe you could get to the ring with me and Stiff Competition?
P. Canyon: Sure. Better than standing back here and arguing about it. Just forget it, and let's get out there.
O. Addison: Okay, then. Let's go and get this over with, so we can put this whole thing behind us.
P. Canyon: What do you mean by that?
O. Addison: Just what it sounds like. This is our last tag team match. After this, I'm putting this all behind me, and going solo. Now let's go.
Owen Addison turns and walks off the scene, and Paul Canyon stares after him in disbelief, then turns to Brujah.
Brujah: Don't stick around here on my account. It's not like I'm enjoying your company.
Paul Canyon turns away again and starts heading for the ring, and Brujah shrugs, then walks away as the camera fades out on the backstage entrance.
Wow... could this actually be the last match where we see the Ontario Colour Show working as a team? It may just be... and now "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is playing, and that brings out Jacob Idol and Rob Solomon of the Hammer of the Gods, as well as Jack Norman and Butch Manson of Hell's Bikers. They're accompanied by Jasmina Chastity. Idol and Solomon are both wearing their VCW World Tag Team Title belts, and Rob Solomon has his hockey stick as usual. The crowd boos as they make their way down the ramp, then climb into the ring. Jacob Idol and Rob Solomon look especially confident as they remove the VCW World Tag Team Titles and hand them to Jasmina, who raises the belts high in the air to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Now "Until It Sleeps" by Metallica begins playing, and that brings out Stiff Competition, Bass Rogers and Dean Sanders, as well as the Ontario Colour Show, Paul Canyon and Owen Addison. The crowd cheers, and Stiff Competition looks ready for a fight, as always... but are the Ontario Colour Show ready? Paul Canyon looks a little distraught, and Owen Addison just seems angry, as they head to the ring and climb inside. We may be looking at two of the top tag teams in VCW here... the question will be whether or not they can overcome the rift between the Ontario Colour Show members and win tonight. Bobcat McGavin enters the ring and calls for the bell, and that'll start this match!
Elimination Match:
Hell's Bikers (Jack
Norman & Butch Manson) & Hammer of the Gods (Jacob Idol
& Rob Solomon)
w/Jasmina Chastity
vs.
Ontario Colour Show & Stiff Competition
It'll be Rob Solomon starting out against Bass Rogers, and both men spend a while circling each other, with Rob Solomon clearly cautious against the massive powerhouse that is Bass Rogers. They finally lock up in the middle... and Bass Rogers shoves Rob Solomon down hard! The crowd cheers, and Bass Rogers bellows loudly as Rob Solomon scoots back and stands up, with a worried stare on his face. He moves in, and they lock up again... and this time, Rob Solomon grabs a headlock immediately out of the lockup! Rob Solomon snarls and tightens in the hold... and Bass Rogers easily lifts him, then brings him crashing to the mat with a huge belly-to-back suplex!!
Rob Solomon scurries back to his corner, and tags in Jack Norman. Jack Norman sneers at Bass Rogers and steps into the ring, and Bass Rogers beats his chest, then bellows for Jack Norman to brings it on! They meet in the middle of the ring, exchanging right hands, and Bass Rogers gets the better of it! He backs Jack Norman into the ropes, then whips him to the other side... no, Jack Norman reverses, and runs off the ropes! They meet in the middle, and Jack Norman rocks Bass Rogers with a massive clothesline, but Bass Rogers just staggers back a step, then asks for another! Ready to oblige him, Jack Norman runs into the ropes again, then comes off with another clothesline... but Bass Rogers grabs him around the waist as he comes off, then takes him down with a big belly-to-belly suplex!
Bass Rogers pulls Jack Norman up and lifts him into a sitting position on his shoulders, then tags in Dean Sanders... and Dean Sanders leaps up to the top rope, then leaps up to knock Jack Norman off of Bass Rogers's shoulders with a springboard clothesline!! Bass Rogers climbs out of the ring, and Dean Sanders crawls on top of Jack Norman and starts pummelling him with stiff right hands! Jack Norman throws him off and gets up, but Dean Sanders grabs Jack Norman and whips him into the ropes! Jack Norman ducks a lariat from Dean Sanders as he comes off, then tries to retaliate with a clothesline of his own, but Dean Sanders ducks that, hooking his arm, and comes up behind to take him down with a backslide! Jack Norman's shoulders are down, and Dean Sanders has his feet on the ropes as Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THREE!! Unbelievable! Jack Norman's out already!! (Jack Norman was eliminated in 0:02:30.)
Jack Norman gets up, cursing and yelling violently, threatening violence on Bobcat McGavin... but then he turns suddenly and begins throttling Dean Sanders in a rage! He can't believe he's out that quickly... but Dean Sanders knees him in the groin, then throws him out of the ring, where trainers and referees begin trying to restrain him from getting into the ring. But now Butch Manson's getting into the ring, and he doesn't look too pleased to see his partner go out early! Butch rushes Dean Sanders from behind as he stares out at Jack Norman, clobbering him with repeated hard shots to the back, then turns him around and begins punching him repeatedly, finally knocking Dean Sanders off his feet with his frenzied right hands!
Dean Sanders gets up again, but Butch Manson grabs him by the hair, then tuns and smashes him throat-first against the top rope! Dean Sanders falls back and rolls over backwards, as Butch Manson runs into the ropes... and Dean Sanders rolls to his feet, just in time for Butch Manson to knock him down again with a running big boot!! Butch Manson crouches on Dean Sanders and begins bashing him with a series of right hands, earning a warning from Bobcat McGavin. Butch Manson pulls Dean Sanders up on his shoulders and falls back with a Samoan Drop, then goes to his corner and tags in Jacob Idol.
Jacob Idol comes in, and immediately grabs Dean Sanders's right arm, then twists it in an armwringer. Dean Sanders drops to the mat, flips out of it, and goes for an armwringer of his own, but Jacob Idol slips around behind him and puts on a waistlock! Dean Sanders throws a back elbow at him, but Jacob Idol ducks the elbow as Dean Sanders turns around, then takes him down with a Northern Lights suplex, holding the bridge! Bobcat McGavin comes in and counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... Kickout at two by Dean Sanders! Jacob Idol gets up, then turns to the crowd and points to his head... but Dean Sanders gets up behind him, then nails him from behind with a dropkick that sends him spilling out over the top rope!
Paul Canyon climbs to the top turnbuckle and asks for the tag, and Dean Sanders tags Paul Canyon in... and he dives from the top turnbuckle onto Jacob Idol with a flying cross bodypress as he gets up, taking him down into a heap at ringside!! He rolls Jacob Idol back into the ring, then climbs in after him. Jacob Idol gets up, and Paul Canyon rushes him, taking him down with a swinging neckbreaker. Jacob Idol goes down, and Paul Canyon puts on a front facelock as he gets up... but Jacob Idol quickly nails him with a low blow! Paul Canyon doubles over, and Jacob Idol grabs his hair, then brings him down into a jawbreaker!
Jacob Idol brings in Rob Solomon, who wastes no time in going after Paul Canyon with a series of kicks to the midsection, driving him back to the corner. Rob Solomon brings him out of the corner with a snap mare, then sits on the top turnbuckle, standing on the second, as Paul Canyon gets up and turns around... and Rob Solomon nails him with a leaping spin kick from the second turnbuckle! Paul Canyon goes down, and Rob Solomon pulls him up, grabbing his arms and hooking him for a straightjacket suplex, but Paul Canyon snaps his head back, headbutting Rob Solomon in the nose, then runs forward, springs to the top rope, and springs back off, twisting in mid-air to take Rob Solomon down with a springboard clothesline! He covers him and hools a leg, and Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... Kickout at two by Rob Solomon!
Paul Canyon gets up, and after a brief exchange of arguing words, he tags in Owen Addison... but during the time they spent arguing, Rob Solomon was able to roll over and tag in Butch Manson! Owen Addison glares at Paul Canyon in disgust, then locks up with Butch Manson as he comes in. Butch Manson forces Owen Addison back to the corner, and Bobcat McGavin orders the clean break! Butch Manson backs up, making a show of keeping his hands up in innocence... and with Bobcat McGavin distracted, Jasmina Chastity grabs Owen's legs from the outside and pulls him groin-first into the ringpost!
Butch Manson returns his attention to Owen Addison, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him into a standing headscissors. He goes for a piledriver, but Owen blocks... then, with some effort, manages to backdrop Butch Manson! Butch Manson goes for a sunset flip, but Owen rolls backwards out of it, then grabs his legs, steps through, and turns him over into a scorpion deathlock!! With Butch Manson trapped in the scorpion deathlock, Owen Addison tags in Dean Sanders, who climbs to the top turnbuckle, then comes off with a flying elbowdrop right into the back of Butch Manson's head and neck!! Butch Manson convulses, and Owen Addison breaks the scorpion deathlock and leaves the ring as Dean Sanders rolls Butch Manson over and covers. Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THR... Kickout at two and three-quarters! Butch Manson was almost knocked out by that big move!
Dean Sanders pulls Butch Manson up, and clubs him in the back of the head and neck a few more times, then puts on a front facelock and pulls Butch Manson to the ground. He's just trying to wear him down with this hold, maybe weaken up his neck or put him out. But Butch Manson's fighting it, and he's a good thirty or forty pounds of muscle heavier than Dean Sanders, allowing him to get up... but now Dean Sanders turns it into a DDT!! He just dropped Butch Manson with a DDT, and now he goes for the cover... but as Bobcat McGavin counts, Rob Solomon goes up top! ONE!! ... TWO!! ... Rob Solomon comes off the top turnbuckle with the Katana Legdrop, but Dean Sanders rolls out of the way! The Katana Legdrop hits Butch Manson, and Dean Sanders grabs Rob Solomon and chucks him out of the ring! He covers Butch Manson again, and Bass Rogers charges in and tackles Jacob Idol as he tries to come in for the save... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THREE!! Both of Hell's Bikers are now gone! (Butch Manson was eliminated in 0:10:42.)
Butch Manson is ushered away from ringside, and the two members of the Hammer of the Gods are alone now. Rob Solomon's reentering the ring, preparing to go at it with Dean Sanders. He seems a little desperate, and flies at Dean Sanders, pelting him with a rapid series of martial arts kicks... but Dean Sanders catches his foot! Rob Solomon leaps up at him with an enzuigiri, but Dean Sanders ducks, then lunges forward and grabs Rob Solomon in a waistlock. He lifts... German suplex!! He holds the bridge, and Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... Kickout at two by Rob Solomon!
Dean Sanders pulls Rob Solomon up, and whips him into the corner. Rob Solomon hits the turnbuckles back-first... then charges right back out to nail Dean Sanders with a lariat!! That was a showing of pure inner fury, and Dean Sanders is down thanks to it! Rob Solomon pulls him up... SITDOWN FACESLAM!! He's trying to put Dean Sanders away... and now he's going to the top turnbuckle! This could be the Katana Legdrop... no, Paul Canyon takes a running start on the apron, then leaps up to knock Rob Solomon off of the top turnbuckle with a dropkick! Rob Solomon crashes to the floor under his left knee... then curls up in pain on the floor, clutching his knee! His landing looked a little ugly, and Jasmina Chastity and Jacob Idol step down to his side to check on him, then begin waving to the back a few seconds later. Some trainers are coming out... and they're going to help Rob Solomon away. He can't even stand on his own... and Bobcat McGavin is left with no choice but to count him out. (Rob Solomon was eliminated in 0:12:16.)
Jacob Idol and Jasmina Chastity look on in concern as Rob Solomon is helped to the back... but Bobcat McGavin goes and taps Jacob Idol on the shoulder, then motions for him to get in the ring! He's the last surviving member of his team, due to that unfortunate injury, and it's now four-on-one!! He stares back into the ring with dread, then slowly climbs inside. Dean Sanders steps forward to meet him... and Jacob Idol backs up, putting his hands up as he begs off! Dean Sanders stares at him strangely... and after some hesitation, Jacob Idol points to Owen Addison, asking Dean Sanders to tag him in! Dean Sanders looks around at the crowd as he starts to extend a hand to Owen Addison... and the crowd cheers, so Dean Sanders tags in Owen Addison!!
Owen Addison steps into the ring, and Jacob Idol yells "YOU'RE GOING DOWN WITH ME, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" then charges him and takes a swing... but Owen Addison catches his fist and twists into an armwringer! Jacob Idol yells out in pain, but then drops to the mat, rolls out, and puts Owen Addison in an armwringer! He smiles with triumphant glee, but Owen Addison just reaches out and grabs the ropes, and Bobcat McGavin orders a break of the armwringer... but Jacob Idol tightens it up, refusing to release the hold! Bobcat McGavin counts to four, but then loses patience, grabs Jacob Idol, and physically pulls him off of Owen Addison!
Jacob Idol turns to Bobcat McGavin, yelling at him as he pokes him in the chest with one finger for emphasis... and Bobcat McGavin shoves him! Jacob Idol staggers back, into the clutches of Owen Addison, who grabs him in a waistlock, then lifts him and brings him down with a belly-to-back suplex! Jacob Idol starts to get up, but Owen Addison runs into the ropes, then leaps up and takes him down with a running neckbreaker drop! Jacob Idol gets up again, and Owen grabs him by the hair and twists him into position, then takes him down with a reverse neckbreaker!
Owen Addison gets up and grabs Jacob Idol... and Paul Canyon's asking for the tag! He stares at Paul Canyon strangely... but Paul Canyon seems to be motioning for their elevated flying somersault neckbreaker! He wants to work as a team, if this is the Ontario Colour Show's last match as a team... and with a disgruntled snort, Owen Addison nods, then lifts Jacob Idol up on his shoulders and tags in Paul Canyon as he goes to the top! Paul Canyon comes off the top turnbuckle... ELEVATED FLYING SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER!! Jacob Idol convulses on the mat, and Paul Canyon rolls over to pin him, as Bobcat McGavin goes down to count... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THR... Kickout at two and nine-tenths!!
Paul Canyon almost had him... and Owen Addison's yelling at him now for not hooking the leg! Owen Addison seems a little bit disgusted, and he's asking to be tagged back in. Paul Canyon shrugs and tags him in, but then he goes to the top turnbuckle, and motions for Owen Addison to send Jacob Idol his way. Owen Addison rolls his eyes, but whips Jacob Idol towards Paul Canyon... no, Jacob Idol reverses, just as Paul Canyon comes off the top... FLYING DROPKICK ON OWEN ADDISON!! Paul Canyon wiped out his own partner! Owen Addison falls back, and Jacob Idol rolls him up from behind and grabs a handful of tights! Paul Canyon tries to rush forward, but Jasmina Chastity trips him from the outside as Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THREE!! Jacob Idol just pinned Owen Addison!! (Owen Addison was eliminated in 0:16:49.)
Jacob Idol gets up, obviously in a great deal of pain, but smiling, raising his hands, and cheering like he just won the VCW World Title! He just pinned Owen Addison, who has been one of his arch-enemies for most of his career, and he's overjoyed at that! Owen Addison's not, though... he's getting up, and getting right in Paul Canyon's face, yelling at him loudly. Jacob Idol turns back around, and sees that they're still arguing... and Owen Addison shoves Paul Canyon back! Paul Canyon staggers backwards... and Jacob Idol hooks him from behind... INVERTED DDT!! Stiff Competition is busy arguing with Owen Addison, and Jacob Idol covers Paul Canyon, as Bobcat McGavin counts... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THREE!! And Jacob Idol just beat Paul Canyon too!! (Paul Canyon was eliminated in 0:17:14.)
Owen Addison turns and looks back into the ring as Paul Canyon is pinned, then shrugs and starts walking away, as the crowd boos. Paul Canyon rolls out of the ring and begins leaving as well, and now Bass Rogers and Dean Sanders exchange a glance and nod grimly... and Bass Rogers is stepping into the ring! Jacob Idol turns back around from a second round of celebration, with an almost goofy smile on his face... and that fades instantly as he stares eye to eye with Bass Rogers. He drops to his knees, begging for mercy, but Bass Rogers just advances on him, snarling mercilessly! He grabs Jacob Idol by the hair, and starts to pull him up... but Jacob Idol nails him with a low blow!! Bass Rogers doubles over, and Jacob Idol slips around behind him, then pulls him back... INVERTED DDT!! He covers him, and Bobcat McGavin goes down to count again... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... BIG kickout at two and a half!!
Bass Rogers pops up angrily and roars, and once again Jacob Idol drops to his knees and begins begging for mercy... but this time, Bass Rogers runs forward and knees him in the face! Jacob Idol goes down, and Bass Rogers crouches over him and pelts him with a series of meaty right hands. He pulls Jacob Idol up, then lifts him over a shoulder and starts running... RUNNING POWERSLAM!! Jacob Idol's smashed against the mat, and Bass Rogers gets up, then runs into the ropes and hits him with a big splash!! Jacob Idol's crumples under him, but Bass Rogers rolls out of the ring... and he grabs a chair!! He slides into the ring with the chair, ignoring the warnings of Bobcat McGavin, then crouches in a corner with it. Jacob Idol starts to get up... and Bass Rogers charges him and DRILLS him in the head with the chair! Jacob Idol collapses in a heap, and that'll be an automatic disqualification on Bass Rogers! (Bass Rogers was eliminated in 0:19:33.)
The good news for Jacob Idol is that he now only has one opponent left... the bad news is that he appears to be unconscious after that chairshot. Bass Rogers grunts and nods to Dean Sanders on his way out of the ring, and Dean Sanders pulls up the lifeless husk of Jacob Idol, then drives him hard into the mat with a stiff power bomb! He covers Jacob Idol, and Bobcat McGavin goes down for what would seem to be an academic count... ONE!! ... TWO!! ... THREE!! It's over!! (Jacob Idol was eliminated in 0:19:51.)

Rating: **
Jacob Idol is down and out on the mat, and Dean Sanders has just picked up the victory. Amazingly, Jacob Idol lasted through the eliminations of three of his opponents, owing to the turmoil within the Ontario Colour Show and the impatience of Bass Rogers... and in a way, it's fitting that Dean Sanders, the most level-headed, businesslike member of his team, is the sole survivor from that team. He leaves the ring and begins heading backstage, and now Jasmina Chastity's in the ring, trying to peel Jacob Idol up off of the mat. He gets up, still seeming pretty groggy, and she begins helps him to stagger backstage.
The closed-top cage is lowering now, and we're going to go straight ahead to our War Games Match. It'll be a three-on-three contest, pitting Amy Lin, Virginia, and Komachi against Christina Ellis, Yuri Sonoda, and Melissa DelArmeggio. As usual, in a War Games Match, we'll start with one woman from each team inside. Then, based on the results of a coin toss, another member of one of the teams will enter the ring after five minutes. After that, members of both teams will alternate entering at two-minute intervals until all members of both teams have entered the match. The match can only end via submission, and only when all members of both teams have entered the cage.
"Star Cycle" by Jeff Beck begins playing... and here comes Christina Ellis! It looks like she'll be the first one to enter the cage for her team. The crowd cheers as she comes out of the backstage entrance, then makes her way to the cage. She shakes the wire mesh, testing it for strength, then climbs inside the door, awaiting the arrival of her opponent. She's a wise choice to start this match for her team... she's the veteran, and probably the best pure wrestler in this match.
And now "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie is playing, and the crowd boos as Komachi comes out of the backstage entrance! Accompanied by Minako, she walks down the aisle with a menacing glare on her face... she still no doubt remembers clashing with Christina Ellis on multiple occasions, and she'd love to get a chance to inflict more harm on her. Christina Ellis just barely pulled out a victory in the only singles match between these two women, and some would call it a fluke... Komachi would certainly like to demonstrate that here. She climbs in through the cage door, and Linda Peterson enters the cage as well, then calls for the bell to begin the match!
War Games Match:
Christina Ellis, Melissa DelArmeggio, & Yuri Sonoda
vs.
Amy Lin, Komachi, &
Virginia
w/Minako
Komachi and Christina Ellis begin circling each other, cautiously moving in and trying to start with the advantage. Christina Ellis steps forward... BLUE MIST!! Komachi just spat blue mist in Christina Ellis's face, blinding her, and now she tosses her back into the corner and begins opening up on her with a series of stiff right and left punches! And neither the mist nor the closed fists are illegal in this War Games Match, putting Christina Ellis at a huge disadvantage right from the opening bell! Christina Ellis tries pitifully to cover up on the corner, but Komachi grabs her around the waist, then brings her out of the corner with a massive belly-to-belly overhead suplex!
Christina Ellis gets up, pawing at her eyes and trying to clear her vision, but Komachi runs into the ropes behind her, then drops her with a lariat to the back of the head! Christina Ellis goes down face-first, and Komachi drops an elbow into her back, then pulls her up by the hair and rams her head-first into the steel mesh of the cage! Christina Ellis bounces back off of the cage and flops down in a heap on the mat, and Komachi lifts her across her shoulders in a torture rack!! She's racking Chrsitina Ellis, ignoring Linda Peterson's admonitions that a submission can only take place when everybody's in the ring... she's just trying to cause pain and injury right now, and it's obvious! But after holding Christina Ellis in the rack for several seconds, Komachi twists and shifts her grip, bringing her down into a reverse neckbreaker!!
Christina Ellis is down on the mat, writhing in pain, and this match has been all Komachi so far. She pulls Christina Ellis up, gut-first over one of her shoulders, then takes a running start and tosses her into the side of the cage face-first! Again, Christina Ellis bounces off and flops down into a heap in the ring. Komachi pulls Christina up, then tosses her back into one of the corners. She nails her with a few punches, then whips her to the other side, and follows in with a big jumping avalanche! Christina Ellis staggers out... and Komachi drills her with a massive stiff kick to the head!! Christina Ellis goes down, stretched out flat on the canvas, and Komachi runs into the ropes, then nails her with a massive splash in the middle of the ring!
Christina Ellis is just getting punished here... and Komachi's showing no signs of letting up. She whips Christina Ellis into the ropes, and Christina Ellis staggers off... into a big spinebuster! Komachi keeps a hold on her legs, spreading them wide, and drops down with a headbutt to the groin! Christina Ellis curls up and screams in pain, and Komachi gets up, then pulls Christina Ellis up by the hair. Komachi hooks on a front chancery, then brings Christina Ellis crashing hard to the mat with a vertical suplex! Christina's down on the mat, and now Komachi's climbing to the top turnbuckle. She takes aim from the top, then screams a battle cry and leaps off... FLYING ELBOWDROP!! Christina Ellis convulses with the impact as Komachi drives an elbow right into her chest!
Christina Ellis is pretty much out of commission now, and it may just be a matter of Komachi toying with her for a while until someone else enters the ring. Komachi pulls Christina Ellis up into a standing headscissors... POWER BOMB!! Christina Ellis was just driven hard into the mat, and now Komachi grabs her legs and takes her over, into a Boston crab! She can't submit yet, she can't earn a rope break, and there's no way Christina Ellis is in any condition to power out of the hold... she's completely at Komachi's mercy in the Boston crab! And Komachi's showing no mercy, leaning in to apply more pressure and drawing an agonized scream from Christina Ellis!
Christina Ellis is fighting, though... she knows she has to find a way out of this hold, or risk a crippling injury! She squirms a little bit, then tries pushing up and powering out of the hold, but it doesn't take her very long to realize that that's a futile pursuit. She struggles uselessly, screaming in pain, then reaches back and grabs one of Komachi's legs... but Komachi just pulls her leg free and takes it forward, then continues leaning back on the Boston crab! Christina Ellis tries for the other leg, but Komachi has already pulled that out of reach... and now Christina Ellis begins tapping out, but Linda Peterson can only tell her that no submissions will be accepted until all six participants are in the ring!
The crowd begins getting behind Christina Ellis, and she plants her hands firmly on the mat, pushing off with all of her strength, as the crowd begins cheering and building support for her! She's powering up, trying to somehow power out of the hold and escape... but Komachi leans back further, and Christina Ellis screams again and falls back down to the mat! She just can't do it... but now the clock's finally getting low on the initial five minutes!! The count's running down... FIVE!! ... FOUR!! ... THREE!! ... TWO!! ... ONE!!
It's Yuri Sonoda!! The crowd cheers as Yuri Sonoda quickly runs to the ring, desperate to help Christina Ellis. She climbs into the cage, and Komachi gets up, seeing her coming, and motions for her to bring it on! Yuri Sonoda charges and nails Komachi square in the chest with a dropkick, but Komachi just staggers back, screams at Yuri Sonoda, and rushes forward with a clothesline as she gets up! Yuri Sonoda ducks the clothesline, then rushes Komachi with another dropkick, staggering her back again! Yuri Sonoda runs into the ropes... and as she comes off, Komachi rushes forward and nails her with a dropkick of her own!! Yuri Sonoda goes down hard!
Komachi pulls Yuri Sonoda up and tosses her into a corner, then begins drilling her with a series of punches and jabs from both hands. Yuri Sonoda staggers out, and Komachi snap mares her down into a sitting position, then takes aim and kicks her hard in the back of the head! Yuri Sonoda slumps over, and Komachi pulls her up, hooking her from behind, and brings her down with a big belly-to-back suplex! Christina Ellis is weakly trying to get to her feet now... and Komachi clobbers her with a forearm to the back! She puts Christina Ellis in a standing headscissors, over Yuri Sonoda, then lifts... and power bombs Christina Ellis onto Yuri Sonoda! They're both down, stacked up in a heap, and Komachi backs into the ropes, then runs forward and comes down on both of them with a big splash!!
Komachi pulls Christina Ellis up and bodyslams her down, then pulls Yuri Sonoda up. Yuri still has some fight left in her, nailing Komachi with a series of right hands... but Komachi barely flinches, then whips Yuri Sonoda into the ropes! Yuri comes off, as Komachi goes into a spin... URAKEN!! She may have just knocked Yuri Sonoda out, and now she rolls her face-down on the mat, then pulls Christina Ellis up and puts her face down on top of Yuri Sonoda! She grabs one of each woman's legs and tucks it under her armpit, then leans back... Komachi just applied a half Boston to both women at once!! And now the clock's running down again... FIVE!! ... FOUR!! ... THREE!! ... TWO!! ... ONE!!
It's Virginia, and Christina Ellis and Yuri Sonoda's position may have just gone from bad to worse. Komachi has been dominating them two-on-one, and now the odds are even again as Virginia comes to the ring and climbs inside the cage door! Komachi releases the double half Boston, and begins mauling Yuri Sonoda as Virginia pulls Christina Ellis up off of the mat. Virginia grabs Christina Ellis by the hair and begins grinding her face into the side of the cage... and Christina Ellis begins bleeding from the forehead as Virginia pulls her away. Virginia clobbers her with a pair of big right hands, then lifts her up by the throat with both hands... but Christina Ellis kicks Virginia in the midsection! Virginia drops Christina Ellis and doubles over... and Christina Ellis grabs her hair, then brings her down with a jawbreaker!
Virginia starts to get up again... and now Komachi sees that Virginia's starting to lose the advantage, and she charges in, starting to spin... URAKEN!! But Christina Ellis ducks, and Komachi takes out Virginia! Komachi stares down at Virginia for a second... and Christina Ellis knees her in the midsection, then puts on a headlock, takes a running start, and brings her down with a bulldog! Christina Ellis gets up slowly, bleeding and weary, and Komachi gets up first and charges with a clothesline... but Christina Ellis ducks, wraps behind, and puts on a full nelson! She's going for the Dragon Suplex... and now Yuri Sonoda staggers forward, then grabs the feet of Komachi to assist! Christina Ellis screams violently and lifts, with Yuri Sonoda's help, then falls back, as Yuri Sonoda thrusts down on the feet... SPIKE DRAGON SUPLEX!! Good Lord, Komachi just got DESTROYED!! The crowd begins chanting "VCW!", and Komachi may have been put down and out by that one move alone! Christina Ellis puts a hand to her back in pain, grimacing, but the damage they surely did with that move has to be worth it!
Now Virginia's getting up again, and the tide may have turned. Yuri Sonoda rushes Virginia and leaps at her with a high cross body... Virginia catches her with ease, but Christina Ellis rushes forward and gives a leaping shove to Yuri Sonoda's back, causing Virginia to stumble and fall backwards under her! Virginia throws Yuri Sonoda off, then gets to her feet as Yuri Sonoda and Christina Ellis run into the ropes on opposite sides of the ring... and Yuri Sonoda nails Virginia in the back with a butt-bump, at the same time as Christina Ellis hits her with a dropkick to the chest! Virginia goes down, and the clock's running low... FIVE!! ... FOUR!! ... THREE!! ... TWO!! ... ONE!!
It's Melissa, the last remaining member of her team, and it looks like the turnaround in fortunes for Yuri Sonoda and Christina Ellis could gain even more momentum now... but Komachi's starting to get up!! Even after taking that spike dragon suplex, Komachi's up, and she turns to face off with Melissa as she enters the cage! Melissa unloads a few punches on Komachi, rattling her, but Komachi blocks another punch, then gives Melissa a swift kick to the midsection and begins retaliating with punches of her own! Komachi's up and fighting again! Meanwhile, Yuri Sonoda and Christina Ellis have Virginia hooked for a double vertical suplex... but Virginia blocks, then amazingly lifts both of them and brings them down with a huge double suplex!!
Komachi backs Melissa into a corner, then whips her to the other side and charges after her... but Melissa scrambles up to the top turnbuckle, then leaps off with a moonsault! Komachi ducks under it, but Melissa lands on her feet behind her! Komachi turns... URAKEN!! But Melissa ducks, then nails Komachi with a spin kick to the face! Komachi is rocked back, and Melissa gives her a kick to the midsection, then hooks her in a front chancery and takes her down with a vertical suplex! Melissa begins going up to the top turnbuckle... but Virginia comes over and shoves her, causing her to fall crotch-first on the turnbuckle! As Virginia turns to assault Yuri Sonoda, Komachi climbs to the top turnbuckle with Melissa, then hooks her for a superplex... but Melissa blocks, then straightens herself up on the turnbuckle! She lifts Komachi... and drives her down with a front-layout superplex!! Komachi begins pulling herself back up... and Melissa jumps off to nail her with a flying kick to the head!! And the count's running down again... FIVE!! ... FOUR!! ... THREE!! ... TWO!! ... ONE!!
It's Amy Lin!! Amy Lin's coming to the ring, accompanied by Rebecca Black... and Melissa sees her coming, and immediately runs out the cage door and charges after her! Rebecca Black moves to stand in the way... but Melissa drops her with a spin kick to the head! Amy Lin takes off running around the cage... and Melissa goes chasing after her! Melissa tackles Amy Lin after a chase halfway around the cage, then begins drilling her with a frenzied series of punches! She pulls Amy Lin up by the hair, and begins grinding her face into the side of the cage, as the crowd cheers wildly! Amy Lin's forehead is opened up from that treatment, and she throws a back elbow to Melissa's face, trying to get her away, then starts climbing the cage in an attempt to escape... but as she gets up, Melissa DelArmeggio reaches up and grabs Amy Lin's ankle, then pulls her down! Amy Lin falls down a good six feet and crashes hard on the floor, and the crowd cheers!!
Melissa DelArmeggio kneels over Amy Lin and begins punching her in the face repeatedly again, getting Amy's blood on her knuckles, but Rebecca Black comes from behind and grabs Melissa in the Blackout!! Melissa begins struggling, as Amy climbs into the cage... and Melissa counters the hold with a jawbreaker on Rebecca Black! She begins to enter the cage, going after Amy Lin... and Komachi steps forward and opens the cage door on her face, knocking her back! Komachi steps out of the cage, going after Melissa, then shuts the door behind her!
Back inside, Amy Lin goes after Yuri Sonoda, grabbing her from behind and taking her head-first into one of the turnbuckles. Yuri Sonoda staggers back, and Amy Lin runs into the ropes, then takes her down with a spinning headscissors, into a figure-four headscissors! And the match can now end via submission because all of the participants are officially in! Christina Ellis takes Virginia down with a flying dropkick, then goes over to Amy Lin, trying to pull her off of Yuri Sonoda. Amy Lin keeps hanging on, refusing to release the figure-four headscissors... so Christina Ellis grabs Amy Lin's head, then puts her in a figure-four headscissors of her own, smearing blood from Amy's forehead across her legs in the process! Amy Lin struggles, but refuses to release Yuri Sonoda from her own figure-four headscissors... but Virginia comes over and hauls Christina Ellis up by the throat! She goes for a chokeslam, but Christina Ellis kicks her in the midsection, and Virginia drops her and doubles over... and Christina Ellis takes Virginia down with a bulldog onto Amy Lin, and THAT breaks the figure-four headscissors on Yuri Sonoda!
On the outside of the ring, Komachi is mauling Melissa DelArmeggio with a series of hard shots, and she tosses her down hard with a Gorilla Press slam on the steel ramp! Melissa's down, and Komachi reaches under the ring and pulls out a table! She sets it up and drags Melissa over to it, but when she goes for a kick to the midsection to stun her again, Melissa catches her foot, then takes her down, crouches on top of her, and begins nailing her with a series of right hands! Komachi throws Melissa off, then gets up and charges... and Melissa takes her down with a drop-toe hold into the steel ringsteps! Rebecca Black charges Melissa, but Melissa catches her and Hotshots her across the guardrail! And as she gets up, Minako comes over and tries to hit Melissa with a spin kick... but Melissa ducks, then drops Minako with a kick of her own!
Melissa grabs a steel chair as Komachi gets up, then rushes her and nails her in the head with a vicious chairshot! That opened up Komachi's forehead, and now Melissa rolls her onto the table... and starts to climb the cage!! The crowd cheers as Melissa climbs to the top of the cage, then turns around facing Komachi. She looks down, then leaps off... FROG SPLASH THROUGH THE TABLE!! Melissa just put Komachi through the table with a leap from the top of the cage, and both women are down in a heap of wood and wreckage as the crowd chants "VCW!" and cheers loudly!
Back in the ring, Christina Ellis and Yuri Sonoda take Virginia down with a double belly-to-back suplex. Amy Lin starts to get up, and Yuri Sonoda gives her a double underhook suplex! Christina Ellis puts Virginia in a Boston crab, as Yuri Sonoda puts a Boston crab on Amy Lin... and either one of them could give up and lose the match here! But Amy Lin's pretty near the door as she struggles in the hold... and Rebecca Black's up! Rebecca Black grabs the chair at ringside, then slides it in through the cage door... and Amy Lin raises it up behind her in a blind swing, nailing Yuri Sonoda with a chairshot! Yuri Sonoda goes down, and Amy Lin gets up. Christina Ellis releases her Boston crab and charges... and Amy Lin whacks her with the chair as well!
Virginia's getting up now, and she grabs Christina Ellis by the throat... CHOKESLAM!! Christina Ellis is down! And now Amy Lin holds Yuri Sonoda's right arm down, then nods towards the chair... and Virginia picks up the chair, then brings the edge of it down repeatedly into Yuri Sonoda's right elbow!! Yuri Sonoda screams in pain, and Amy Lin stands up, then locks on a cross armbreaker!! Virginia picks Christina Ellis up again... VIRGIN SACRIFICE!! Christina Ellis has to be out now! Yuri Sonoda is still struggling, trying to break the cross armbreaker somehow... but she's not strong enough to counter it, and a rope break won't happen in this match! Melissa DelArmeggio's getting up on the outside... but Rebecca Black just grabbed the ring bell and whacked her across the head with it! Melissa's down, Christina's down, and Yuri Sonoda's trapped in the cross armbreaker... and she taps out!! This match is over!!

Rating: * 3/4
The crowd boos loudly as Amy Lin, Komachi, and Virginia are given the victory, and Amy Lin releases the cross armbreaker... but she grabs the chair, and nails Yuri Sonoda in the head with it repeatedly! Yuri Sonoda is out... and on the outside, Komachi just got up! She picks up Melissa DelArmeggio and rolls her into the ring through the cage door, then at Amy Lin's direction she gets a jagged piece of wood from the wreckage of the table. The cage is rising now, and the match is over, but the violence may not be over yet by a long shot!
Amy Lin hauls Melissa forward into the ring, then strips off her shirt and throws it aside, revealing her bra and getting a round of cheers and catcalls, with some boos as well. Rebecca Black climbs into the ring with them, and helps Amy Lin as she unbuttons Melissa's blue jeans, then pulls those off as well! Melissa's left in only her boots, bra, and panties, and Amy Lin smiles, then reaches down to Melissa's bra, drawing a loud round of cheers from the crowd... but she stops, pulling away and shaking her head "no", to a huge round of boos from the crowd!!
Melissa DelArmeggio's starting to get up, but Virginia grabs her by the throat... CHOKESLAM!! Melissa hits hard on the canvas, and one of her breasts almost comes out of her bra on impact! And now Komachi climbs into the ring and hands a jagged piece of wood from the table to Amy Lin, and Amy Lin's face lights up in a sick, horrific smile as she takes it! She starts to stand over Melissa's body with the wood raised... but someone's running out of the backstage entrance! It's Desmond, and he has a chair!! He runs to the ring, nailing Rebecca Black with the chair on his way in, then slides inside! Virginia charges, and gets kocked down by a chairshot! Amy Lin starts to back away, but Desmond rushes her and drills her with the chair as well! Komachi rushes him... and Desmond nails Komachi with the chair!! But Komachi only goes down to one knee, then shakes off the effects and pops up... so Desmond hits her again, and that knocks Komachi down and sends her rolling out of the ring!!
Amy Lin, Virginia, Rebecca Black, Komachi, and Minako begin regrouping on the outside of the ring, looking in at Desmond... there are five of them and only one of him, but it doesn't look like they're willing to take the chance. Melissa's starting to get up now too, and she stands, adjusts her bra, then dares Amy Lin to come back into the ring, but they're all retreating backstage, wanting no more of Desmond's chair-swinging. Desmond stares after them and exchanges a glance with Melissa, then quickly looks away when he sees her state of undress. He hesitates, then rips open his silk shirt in a spray of popping buttons, then hands it to Melissa, who puts it on. They begin to help Yuri Sonoda and Christina Ellis up, and it looks like everyone will be walking away from this match on their own two feet. But Amy Lin's team won the War Games match, and as a result she holds the cards as it pertains to the next one-on-one meeting with Melissa!
