Monday Night Wrestling 04/09/01 (VCW 115)

Hello again, and welcome to VCW Monday Night Wrestling! We're coming to you tonight live from the America West Arena in Arizona, and tonight we've got a big show planned, with a lot of major tag team matches! Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario will face Julian Page and Rex Richards, Lance Errington and "Doctor" Dave Adams take on Robert Danson and Tim Bell, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage teams with all three members of Hell's Bikers to face Stiff Competition and the Heavy Metal Express! And in the main event, Sandis Arlington and David Wright Hubbard will team up to face Tony Garcia and Troy Black! We're looking forward to all that, and more... but right now, we understand that there's a camera in the parking lot, catching an important arrival to the arena! Let's go to that now!

In the Parking Lot...

A familiar large, dark blue truck pulls up in the arena parking lot, and David Wright Hubbard steps out of the driver's side, as his wife Michelle Hubbard steps out of the passenger side. Both of them are wearing plain street clothes of the T-shirt and blue jeans variety, and David Wright Hubbard has the VCW World Title slung over his shoulder. They step out, and David Wright Hubbard checks the doors to make sure they're locked, then they begin walking towards the arena... but Melissa DelArmeggio intercepts them on the way in.

M. DelArmeggio: You're early. That's good. The show just started, and... Michelle? You're going to be backstage tonight?

M. Hubbard: Yeah... he needs someone to smack him around when he starts bitching about his bad knee too much. Besides, I've seen you and Christina bumbling around here... you kids need a veteran to help show you how it's done.

Michelle's good-natured smile seems to take the edge away from her words, and Melissa just nods and smiles slightly in return.

M. DelArmeggio: It's good to see you again, anyway. Did anyone call you guys on the way here and tell you about the booking? Me and Christina are teaming up against Amy and Rebecca tonight... and David, you and Sandis are main-eventing in a tag team match against Troy Black and Tony Garcia.

David Wright Hubbard's relatively pleasant demeanor quickly fades into a disgusted, angry look.

D.W. Hubbard: You mean I have to put up with that asshole tonight!? This ain't gonna work. If he starts talking shit again, I'm gonna whip that man's ass, no two ways about it.

M. Hubbard: Don't be such an old grouch. You're gonna let a little punk like that put a twist in your tights? Since when did you care about what he says!?

D.W. Hubbard: I'm just getting tired of all these SMCW boys talking shit. Did you see what Jerry Savage said about me!? I oughtta drive up to Toronto and shove that worthless Triple Crap Title down his old, busted-up neck. And it don't bother me so much when Sandis wants to jump on me, but then he goes talking about Melissa--

M. Hubbard: Maybe it's just me, but if a man starts calling me melon-breasted, I take it as a compliment. ... I think he likes her, and just doesn't wanna admit it.

Melissa steps forward, seeming a little awkward and embarrassed.

M. DelArmeggio: Umm... don't you think we should go on inside now and head for the locker room?

David Wright Hubbard nods, then turns to Michelle again.

D.W. Hubbard: Yeah, I think we'd best do that. Come on, you melon-breasted wench, let's get inside and get ready for the show tonight.

David Wright Hubbard punctuates the sentence with a slap to Michelle's backside and a wry smile, but she just rolls her eyes and punches him in the shoulder.

M. Hubbard: You're about as slick and smooth as a dry bed of unpaved gravel, honey.

The camera fades out as David Wright Hubbard, Michelle Hubbard, and Melissa DelArmeggio enter the arena.

So David Wright Hubbard is here, and he brought his wife Michelle with him! As they had said, David Wright Hubbard will be teaming with Sandis Arlington to take on Troy Black and Tony Garcia in the main event tonight! But before we get to that, there are some lesser matches on the card... and what follows next is one of them. Some cheesy, generic music begins playing, heralding the arrival of Russel "The Muscle" Taylor and the Super Giant Ninja, who come to the ring to almost no reaction from the crowd. They come inside, and... uh-oh, Russel has a microphone!

R. Taylor: You know... we haven't been doing so well for a while in VCW, but that's okay. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you wrestle... and every time, me and the Super Giant Ninja give it our all, because we love this sport, and because we have dedication, determination, and discipline on our side. And it doesn't matter who you are, or what you do... if you do your best, work hard, and believe in yourself, you can do it. And for all you kids in school who want to get good grades and be all you can be, that goes for you, too. Just remember, your "I will!" is more important than your "I.Q."

A loud voice from the crowd yells "I WON'T!", but Russel Taylor and the Super Giant Ninja don't seem to be acknowledging that. "What U Lookin' At" by Uncle Kracker begins playing over the sound system, and the crowd boos as Kid Rave and Connie Lingus step out of the backstage area, accompanied by Stormy Weathers, Vickie Romano, and Fred Errara. They enter the ring, and Connie Lingus grabs a microphone, then gives a nearby camera her best seductive look as she begins trying to talk in a raspy, sexy voice.

C. Lingus: Hello, boys. Y'know... Dairy Queen has NOTHING on me. What I've got's more fun to lick than an ice cream cone on a hot day, and gets sloppier and wetter than the ice cream when it starts to melt... and when it comes to my choice in tasty treats, there's nothing I like better than to lick a man's popcicle until I get down to the creamy filling.

Connie Lingus tosses the microphone aside, seeming embarrassed and very glad to have gotten that over with, as the crowd boos. Vickie Romano nods in approval, and Jerry Rogers enters the ring, calling for the bell to begin the match!

Kid Rave & Connie Lingus
w/Vickie Romano, Fred Errara, & Stormy Weathers

vs.

Russel "The Muscle" Taylor & Super Giant Ninja

Kid Rave and Connie Lingus dominate this match with a lot of punches and kicks and brawling on the outside, with the occasional basic slam thrown in for variety. Connie Lingus seems unmotivated again, but Kid Rave's showing a lot of enthusiasm, trying to entertain the crowd by stunning Russel Taylor with a series of punches, then doing some sort of jiggy breakdance-like move before drawing back and flooring him with a big right hand, which draws a smile and a nod of approval from Vickie Romano. After a minute of action, Vickie Romano begins telling the people in the ring to "bring it home", and Kid Rave quickly drops the Super Giant Ninja with the Bitch Slap (a reverse double underhook faceslam) and covers him for the pin.

Kid Rave and Connie Lingus defeated Russel Taylor and The Super Giant Ninja when Rave pinned Ninja with the Bitch Slap in 0:01:09.
Rating: -** 1/2

The crowd boos halfheartedly as Kid Rave and Connie Lingus are declared the victors, and they pitch the beaten bodies of Russel Taylor and the Super Giant Ninja out of the ring. And now... uh-oh, Kid Rave's getting a microphone. What's this all about!?

K. Rave: Hey, yo, my peeps!! Word up, dogs!?

The crowd doesn't seem to eager to acknowledge Kid Rave with cheers, even when he plays to them.

K. Rave: Listen up, because I'm about to speak it. Now, by now all y'all must know that Kid Rave is bomb like a motherfucker... and most the other punk-ass scrubs in VCW can't hang with the K-I-D... they're too old to kid, too weak to rave. And that's all right, because it ain't my fault... I can't help it if I'm the dope-ass shit. But there's this one shit going on that I ain't gonna stand for, dogs. There's these two mugs called the Heavy Metal Express... and they's whack as fuck. They're always jumping around, shaking around their hair, and saying some stupid gay-ass shit. I'm finna bitch-slap they punk asses off the face of the planet, fool, and so me and big Connie are telling them to get their asses on to No Quarter, where we're gonna break them down! I'm finna kick they lame-ass shit all night, and then... I'm going platinum!!

Kid Rave tosses aside the microphone and begins heading backstage, and Stormy Weathers, Connie Lingus, and Vickie Romano begin going with him... but Fred Errara remains behind, and opens a bottle full of pills, then shoves several of them into his mouth and swallows them. He looks up with a crazed, lustful look on his face, then picks up the discarded microphone...

F. Errara: But when it comes to the ladies... I've gotta say, my package is a lot like an ice cream sundae... when a girl gets it for the first time, the cherry is the FIRST thing to GO!!!

Fred Errara begins rapidly thrusting his crotch at the crowd, and two sexy, but cheap-looking women come out of the crowd, strip to their bra and panties, and begin escorting him backstage, feeling him up and snuggling up against him in the process. I think he's starting to reach for it with these sexual analogies... but while we're on the subjects of sex-crazed perverts, we understand that "Doctor" Dave Adams is about to confer backstage with his tag team partner for the evening, Lance Errington! Let's go to that now...

Backstage...

Lance Errington is sitting backstage in a locker room, looking rather scruffy and unenthusiastic about anything as he sits with a blank expression on his face, staring at the wall. Suddenly, the door opens, and "Doctor" Dave Adams steps inside, accompanied by Nurse Vivacia.

D. Adams: Just think, Vivacia... after the contract we just signed, the beautiful Nicole will be all ours after No Quarter.

N. Vivacia: But only for one night... didn't you read the fine print?

D. Adams: It doesn't matter... that one night will be one night she'll NEVER forget.

Lance Errington turns to give them a disgusted, annoyed look.

L. Errington: Could you keep it down over there for a while? Not all of us have the luxury of planning the details for a night of passionate sex ahead of us.

D. Adams: Well, Lance... that's not why we came by. As much as I like to talk about the ladies, I have to tell you... we're tag team partners tonight against Tim Bell and Robert Danson.

L. Errington: Great. First they book me in a Triple Threat Match for the VCW Television Title against Tim Bell and Brujah... now I'm in a tag team match against him? I just want to be rid of Tim Bell... I told him who his sweet little friend Jennie was fucking, and it's not my fault he's too stupid to believe the truth when he hears it... why should I have to fight him? I don't want to fight Tim Bell! And my partner's some sleazeball who thinks he's a doctor. Just like they proved last week when they booked Marty Jannetty against the Grave Digger, it's becoming clear that the bookers have a cruel sense of humor.

D. Adams: Well, Lance... I can tell you're a little bit down tonight. And as part of the tag team match tonight, I want to make sure we don't have to go in there with low morale against us. So I think it's time that you got a little treatment to cure what ails you.

Dave Adams nods to Nurse Vivacia, who goes and kneels at Lance Errington's feet, smiling and licking her lips in a slow, wanton gesture that leaves no doubt as to her intentions. She begins to unbutton Lance Errington's blue jeans, and he looks up a little.

L. Errington: You both ought to realize that momentary pleasure only clouds your mind from the truth of what a barren wasteland life is. It leaves you all too soon, and it leaves you empty, without even the firm hardening of the spirit that allows you to survive without going insane when you know life's truths. It weakens your soul, it clouds your mind to the truth, and it softens your spirit's armor, leaving you vulnerable when reality crashes back down upon your head.

Dave Adams frowns in puzzlement, as Nurse Vivacia's motions of removing Lance's blue jeans become slower and less certain.

D. Adams: Errr... I guess so.

Lance Errington runs a hand through Nurse Vivacia's long, blond hair, and seems to be waiting for something.

L. Errington: Okay. ... ... ... Well, are you going to give a man some privacy here!?

Now Dave Adams looks up again, looking even more confused.

D. Adams: Oh, sorry.

Dave Adams hesitates, then steps out the door, as Nurse Vivacia begins to slip Lance Errington's blue jeans down, and the camera fades out on the backstage area.

That's just one of many somewhat odd pairings that we'll be seeing in tag team competition tonight... but it has to be said, "Doctor" Dave Adams has a unique way of promoting team unity. Right now, we're about to see two teams that have already established their unity face each other. "Brackish" by Kittie starts blaring over the sound system, and the crowd boos loudly as Rebecca Black and Amy Lin come out of the backstage area. They enter the ring, and Rebecca Black holds the ropes open for Amy, then turns and grabs a microphone as the crowd begins a "SLUT!" chant for one or both of them.

R. Black: Oh... right. So WE'RE a pair of sluts, huh?

A loud "YEAH!!" comes up from the crowd.

R. Black: That's funny... the way I remember it, neither one of us tried to force ourselves on Sandis Arlington last week. That's more than we can say for our favorite punching bag, Melissa. You know, it's funny... she's always walked around with her chin in the air, never sleeping around, never even saying a single fucking curse word, like she's the fucking virgin princess of VCW or something. But after seeing her try to put the moves on Sandis last week, I think I know what that "nice girl" act's all about... we found out she can't even give it away when she wants to.

And she's even got a little blonde sidekick to round out all this Xena: Warrior Princess crap... Christina Ellis. Christina Ellis is a "real" wrestler, she says. Yeah, like the rest of us are just kidding. But she's special... she learned to wrestle in Japan. I guess maybe she won the G-Spot Triple Climax Title over in Sailor Moon Pro Wrestling or something... but that doesn't mean fucking SHIT to me. I didn't learn to wrestle in Japan... I learned to survive in my dad's basement. I didn't wrestle to be able to win matches and titles... I wrestled to be able to walk around for the next few weeks without crutches. Go ahead and bring that Japanese bullshit if you think it'll do you any good... but you're not up against some overweight Japanese bulldyke with a stupid haircut... you're up against the daughter of "Superstar" Sean Black.

Amy Lin takes the microphone from Rebecca, but before she can turn to face the crowd, Rebecca pulls her in close and whispers something in her ear, bringing a smile to her face. Amy Lin finally turns to address the crowd, which boos her and renews their chant of "SLUT!"

A. Lin: I'm sure you can handle Christina... but as far as Melissa goes, that's where I--

Hold it right there! "Sad But True" by Metallica just hit the arena sound system, and the crowd cheers as Melissa DelArmeggio and Christina Ellis come out of the backstage area! They're stopping at the top of the entrance ramp, and they have microphones... it looks like they're going to respond to Rebecca and Amy's comments.

C. Ellis: First of all, Rebecca... trying to pass yourself off as some kind of great technical wrestler just isn't going to work. Every time you want to sound tough, you always try to hide behind your dear old daddy's name... but everyone who knows the first thing about wrestling knows that you're just Greg Gagne or David Sammartino with a pair of boobs. So do us all a favor, and shut up and quit embarrassing the women in VCW who actually CAN wrestle.

The crowd cheers, and Rebecca Black draws back with angry shock, stunned into silence for a second before she angrily replies.

R. Black: You just get the fuck in here, you stupid bitch, and we'll find out--

M. DelArmeggio: Shut up, Rebecca. And if you're going to talk about what happened last week, Amy, why don't you talk about how I beat you within an inch of your life before Rebecca hit me with a chair? And while we're at it, why don't we talk about how every single time I've been in the same ring with you, I've kicked your butt non-stop until somebody came in to stop me? Tonight, don't look for Rebecca to jump in with a chair and save you... she'll be too busy getting her skull split open on the mat when Christina suplexes her right on her head.

A. Lin: You say that like it matters to anyone but you. What DOES matter is that I pinned you right in the middle of the ring... and that, come to think of it, I'm undefeated in VCW. That means nobody's ever beaten me. That means you've never beaten me. And that's not subject to change, tonight or any other night. If there are any doubts in your mind... just get in here and try it.

Melissa's not wasting any more time... she just tossed the microphone aside, and she's heading to the ring to do just that! Christina Ellis follows at her side, and they slide into the ring and begin brawling with Amy Lin and Rebecca Black, as Brendan Powers enters the ring and calls for the bell!

Black Plague (Rebecca Black & Amy Lin)

vs.

Melissa DelArmeggio & Christina Ellis

Melissa DelArmeggio and Amy Lin start the match in martial-arts stances, circling one another, but Amy Lin just backs up and mocks Melissa's fighting stance, getting a laugh from Rebecca Black on the apron, then offers a lock up to Melissa instead. Amy has considerable submission wrestling experience, so this could put her at an advantage. They lock up, and Amy grabs an arm and goes behind Melissa into a wristlock, but Melissa bends down, reaching between her legs behind her with her free hand, then grabs and sweeps one of Amy Lin's legs! Amy Lin goes down, losing her hold on the wristlock, but Melissa remains holding her foot, and twists around and falls back into a kneebar!! The crowd bursts into cheers, and Amy Lin cries out in pain and surprise!! She quickly drags herself to the ropes to force a break of the hold, but the surprise in her face is evident as she gets up... she prides herself on submission wrestling ability, and Melissa just got the better of her there!

Amy Lin quickly tags in Rebecca Black, and Melissa makes a tag to Christina. Christina Ellis takes the advantage early on by taking Rebecca to the mat and using her superior wrestling ability, but Rebecca comes back with some dirty fighting, biting or sinking her fingernails into Christina when she can't otherwise break a hold, then taking over with some brawling. They spill to the outside of the ring, and Rebecca Black continues to dominate, taking Christina Ellis head-first into several of the fixtures at ringside, then tagging in Amy Lin. They take turns working over Christina Ellis, focusing on her right arm, no doubt looking to set up a cross armbreaker or armbar submission from Amy Lin. But when Amy goes for an armbar takedown, Christina squirms free and takes her down with a belly-to-belly suplex! Both women begin making their way to their corners, and tags are made to Melissa and Rebecca!

Melissa comes in, and quickly takes control of Rebecca, assaulting her with a barrage of swift kicks and strikes, then sending her into the ropes and cutting her down with a spinning leg lariat. Amy tries to come back in and attack from behind, but Christina cuts her off, then begins tossing her around with a variety of suplexes. Melissa continues punishing Rebecca Black with a swinging neckbreaker, then a piledriver for a near fall, then measures her and drops her with a stiff kick to the face. Melissa begins heading to the top turnbuckle, to go for a frog splash... but someone's running out of the backstage area! It's Komachi!! Melissa comes off with a frog splash on Rebecca Black, and hooks the leg... but Komachi slides into the ring and hauls her to her feet... BLUE MIST!! That'll be an instant DQ from Brendan Powers!

Melissa DelArmeggio and Christina Ellis defeated The Black Plague (Amy Lin and Rebecca Black) when Melissa defeated R. Black via disqualification in 0:08:14.
Rating: 1/2*

The match is over... but as is often the case, Komachi and Amy Lin are just getting started. Melissa's down, rubbing at her eyes, and Komachi clobbers Christina Ellis from behind, and begins double-teaming her with Amy Lin! And now Rebecca Black's getting up as well! Melissa's still trying to clear the blue mist out of her eyes... and Rebecca Black grabs her from behind and puts her in the Blackout!! She's trying to struggle, but she's too disoriented to fight back effectively... and meanwhile Christina Ellis is still getting assaulted by both Amy Lin and Komachi!

But someone else is coming out of the backstage area... it's Michelle Hubbard, and she's carrying a chair wrapped in barbed wire!! She runs to the ring, hobbling a little bit under the effects of lingering injuries from her past career as a hardcore wrestler in Japan, and slides inside, carrying the chair! Rebecca Black gets up... and quickly bails out of the ring after taking one look at the barbed wire covered chair!! Amy Lin turns around... and Michelle drills her with with a chairshot, knocking her off of her feet!! And now she turns to Komachi... but Komachi just bows her head slightly and says something to her, then drops and rolls out of the ring, pulling Amy Lin out with her!

Michelle Hubbard's continuing to stand vigilantly with the chair, as Melissa DelArmeggio and Christina Ellis begin to recover... and their opponents retreating up the aisle, wanting no part of this fight now. Amy Lin has a small cut on her forehead from the chair, and doesn't seem particularly happy about that, yelling obscenities into the ring at her opponents. Rebecca Black tries to wipe the blood away and console her, but though Amy becomes silent, it's obvious from the stare she's directing to the ring that she's going to want some sort of retribution. But first, we understand that Julian Page and Rex Richards are backstage with Ziggy Adderloaf... let's go to that now!

Backstage...

Ziggy Adderloaf is standing backstage with Julian Page and "Double R" Rex Richards, with Sophie and Minako standing with them. Komachi's not there, however; evidently she's still on her way back from interfering in the previous match.

Z. Adderloaf: Rex Richards... Julian Page... tonight, you team up against Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario, in the next match. Any comments before you go out there tonight?

R. Richards: Yeah. Moy Lazzario, you gutless little scrawny monkey... you're gonna find out the hard way that I'm a changed man since I came back from Japan. Some people start off slow, then rise to greatness in their career... and some people, like you, start off pathetic, and always will be pathetic. So when you lock up with the most bad-ass individual in VCW... just remember that little brush with greatness for a long time, because when they're adding my name in the Halls of Fame they reserve for the most elite wrestlers, you'll be able to say that you had the honor of getting your ass kicked by Rex Richards.

As Rex Richards finishes speaking, Sophie steps in front of him, smiling.

Sophie: For then, we shall be one step closer to our ultimate goal of conquest and doom. Survival will be impossible when we set our sights on fighting our enemies, and they know it!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ... Yet as the resplendent flame of life reflects on the tears of sorrow that drip from the gems high in heaven, everyone will know that we stand together as King and Queen of the Universe! And that means we'll get to live in a really big, fancy house, with a lot of cute, furry little pets, and have hot, fun, creamy sex all the time while everybody talks about how cool we are, and--EEP!!

Sophie squeals and jumps back as Komachi storms onto the scene, drawing back a fist and shooting her a murderous glare. With Sophie silenced and out of her way, Komachi turns to Rex Richards as if she was a soldier reporting to a general, and begins speaking a bit carefully, with a fairly heavy Japanese accent.

Komachi: Michelle Hubbard protects Christina and Melissa. ... She's a legendary fighter, but her knees are crippled. I can beat her.

R. Richards: Yeah, that's good. Make sure all those stupid bitches learn not to mess with me and my women. Now... you ready for my match tonight!?

Komachi pulls a blue pill out of her cleavage and tucks it under her bottom lip, then nods.

R. Richards: All right, ladies, let's go!!

Sophie: Yeah, it's time to hit the streets in the ring!

Sophie gets a few angry glares, but Rex Richards and the three women walk off the scene, as Ziggy turns to Julian Page.

Z. Adderloaf: Julian Page... you've been challenged to face Crimson and Johnny Smiles in a Triple Threat Match. Do you have anything to add before you go out there for your tag team match tonight?

J. Page: Don't worry about that, Ziggy. I'll be there. I don't know what today may bring... I'm lowered to teaming with that musclebound idiot and those three sluts who hang around with him. But I can promise you that when No Quarter is upon us, Crimson and Johnny'll finally get their comuppance. All of the losses we took at Wrestlewar III... we're gonna get it all back. Jacob Idol and Rob Solomon will retrieve the VCW World Tag Team Titles, I'll make up for everything that went wrong at the Big Fight and at Wrestlewar, and take my VCW Intercontinental Title back. At No Quarter, Crimson's getting cut down to size, and Johnny'll be put in his place. It WILL be done... count on it.

Julian Page also turns and begins walking off the scene, preparing to go to the ring.

Z. Adderloaf: Thank you for you comments, Julian... now let's take it to the ring, where Julian Page and Rex Richards take on Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario, next!

The camera fades out on the backstage scene.

We're back in the ring, and "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye just kicked on... and here come Julian Page and "Double R" Rex Richards, along with Minako, Sophie, and Komachi. The crowd showers them with a huge round of boos, and they enter the ring. The three women peel off Rex Richards's robe, then perform an intricate martial arts sequence around him as he kneels and flexes his muscles, with red and gold flashing spotlights on him... and Julian Page moves to stand right in front of him, blocking the crowd and the camera from seeing Rex Richards, and begins posing for the crowd himself! Rex Richards ends his pose early and gives Julian Page an angry glare, but seems to shrug it off as he takes off his sunglasses and gives them to Minako.

"Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers begins playing over the arena sound system next, and the crowd explodes into deafening cheers as Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario come out of the backstage area. They stop at the top of the entrance ramp... and they've got microphones! This should get interesting...

J. Smiles: HEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRE'S JOHNNY!!!

The crowd cheers loudly.

J. Smiles: And here's Moy Lazzario.

A somewhat lesser crowd pop comes forth for Moy Lazzario's benefit, and he raises the microphone to speak.

M. Lazzario: Rex, you big musclebound goonball, I've got just one more thing to say to you. Just like before, I have to give a little credit... to those three ladies, who are so skilled at interfering in matches that they can make sure even YOU win a match once in a while! But as for you, Rex, what I'm gonna do tonight is kinda like what I'm gonna do at No Quarter. I'm gonna get in there, me and you are gonna tangle, and when it's all said and done, I'm gonna kick your bulked-up funky punk ass!!

Rex Richards yells at Moy Lazzario from in the ring, but it can't be heard what he's saying. Johnny Smiles raises his microphone, staring down the aisle at Julian Page, and the crowd's already cheering in anticipation.

J. Smiles: As you know... I've had a few blows to my pride recently. I've taken a loss or two in the past few weeks, and Crimson stole my VCW InterJohnnynental Title... so things just don't look so good. And that's why I'd like to thank you, Julian Page, for accepting Crimson's offer to make the InterJohnnynental Title match between me and Crimson at No Quarter a Triple Threat Match! Because whatever else happens, whatever else might come up, I'll be secure in one piece of knowledge... thanks to your being in that match, I'll no longer be the biggest sissy-boy in the ring during that match!!

M. Lazzario: Yeah, but what about the referee? He'd be a sissy-boy, right?

J. Smiles: Don't be sure about that... how'd YOU like to meet Bobcat McGavin in a dark alley? But anyway, Julian... even if I have to beat both you and Crimson at the same time for my VCW InterJohnnynental Title to be safe, then that's what I'll do. Because that's not just any title belt... it's MY title belt, especially for me and all the Johnnycoholics. Without the title, I end up in bleak, desperate situations, struggling even to beat boring, bumbling excuses for wrestlers like Arthur Justice... Virginia... and let's not forget the worst of all, my good friend Marty Jannetty! But when I have that title, I'm on top of the world, going places, doing things, and always having a great time, with all of the Johnnycoholics cheering me on and chanting my name...

As if on cue, the crowd begins a loud "JOHNNY!!" chant, and Johnny Smiles stops to look around at the chanting crowd for a second. In the ring, Sophie smiles giddily and starts to join in with the chant, but Rex Richards stops that with a stern glare and an open-handed whack to the back of her head, earning an angry scowl from her but silencing her voice in the chant.

J. Smiles: So that's why I need to do everything I can to keep the VCW InterJohnnynental Title where it belongs. And if that means that I have to deal with a big-headed biscuitcase like Crimson, or a pompous crybaby like you, Julian... then that's exactly what I'll do.

Johnny Smiles tosses aside the microphone, and now Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario are headed for the ring! Linda Peterson climbs into the ring and calls for the bell as they enter, and this match begins now!!

Johnny Smiles & Moy Lazzario

vs.

"Double R" Rex Richards & Julian Page
w/Minako, Sophie, & Komachi

Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario start off the match successfully, keeping Rex Richards off-guard with a fast-paced, energetic offensive flurry. Rex Richards takes a breather to cool off and consult his female accomplices, then enters the ring and tags in Julian Page. Julian's cautious, focused approach fares somewhat better, but even so Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario don't let the advantage slip for long. As the match goes on, it becomes clear that Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario have an important advantage in their ability to work together as a team, while Rex Richards and Julian Page seem to be operating as a pair of singles wrestlers. They are a pair of competent singles wrestlers, however, and when they begin to dip into their vast collective playbook of underhanded tactics, the tide begins shifting with a few eye gouges and low blows, and a little unseen outside interference from the women on the outside.

After the battle wears on for a while, Rex Richards and Julian Page manage to firmly take the upper hand and isolate Moy Lazzario. They trap him in their corner and begin to mercilessly assault him, working him over and wearing him down. A few times he manages to get free and tries to make the hot tag to Johnny, but each time with a quick tag to the other man or some interference by one of the ladies on the outside, Rex and Julian prevent the tag. They're still not quite functioning as a team, but at least they seem capable of isolating Moy Lazzario and beating him up. But when Julian Page finally goes for his DDT, Moy Lazzario counters it with a Northern Lights suplex for a two count, taking him to the opposite corner of the ring! This time, Julian Page isn't able to make it to Rex Richards in time to allow Rex Richards to stop Moy Lazzario from tagging Johnny!

Both tags are made, and in come Rex Richards and Johnny Smiles, to the delight of the crowd! Johnny Smiles immediately flies into Rex Richards, taking him down rapidly several times in succession. Moy Lazzario and Julian Page also join the fray, and Moy Lazzario takes control, backing Julian Page into a corner as Johnny does the same with Rex Richards, then they whip Julian Page and Rex Richards into each other! Julian Page falls down and rolls out of the ring, and Rex Richards staggers back, and turns around... right into a superkick from Johnny Smiles!! Moy Lazzario jumps out onto Julian Page with a tope con hilo, as Johnny Smiles picks Rex Richards up across his shoulders... but Minako has the referee distracted, and Komachi slides into the ring from behind and sweeps Johnny's legs, causing him to fall backwards... into a crucifix roll-up by Rex Richards! Komachi turns around and slides out of the ring, as Linda Peterson goes to make the count! Moy Lazzario sees the pin in the ring, and turns to go in to help, but Komachi spins him around by the shoulder... BLUE MIST!! Moy Lazzario goes down, clutching his eyes, as Linda Peterson counts to three!!

Rex Richards and Julian Page defeated Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario when R. Richards defeated J. Smiles after a crucifix in 0:13:20.
Rating: 3/4*

Rex Richards and Julian Page just stole this one, and what a victory this is for Rex Richards! He just pinned the VCW Intercontinental Champion in the middle of the ring... that has to be worth something in the eyes of the bookers the next time he comes around for a title shot. Given this win, whether it's Crimson, Johnny Smiles, or Julian Page that walks away with the belt, one would have to think that Rex Richards would be a top challenger for it. Rex Richards, Julian Page, and the women are heading backstage triumphantly, stopping to kick Moy Lazzario a few times while he's down. A few moments later, Johnny Smiles and Moy Lazzario get up and begin staggering backstage, and the crowd still gives a loud round of cheers for Johnny even in defeat.

We're heading directly into our next match now... "Calling Dr. Love" by KISS begins playing, and that brings forth "Doctor" Dave Adams and Lance Errington, along with Nurse Vivacia. They're a somewhat odd team, much like many of the teams in our matches tonight, but they're facing two common enemies in Tim Bell and Robert Danson tonight. They come to the ring, and Lance Errington stands around listlessly while Dave Adams and Vivacia pose... and now Dave Adams has a microphone!? That's never a good thing...

D. Adams: Greetings, ladies... once again, you're fortunate enough to be graced by the presence of the delectable "Doctor" Dave Adams. Tonight, I'm free for the taking, so all of you ladies who want me to make a house call after the match can be satisfied as you've never been before... but on the night after No Quarter, all of my attention will go to the lovely Nicole. As I caressed her beautiful shoulders two weeks ago, and felt her melting under the touch of a real man, I knew right then that she was spellbound by the sorcery of sexuality as she writhed sensuously under the touch of the grand master of the female body... "Doctor" Dave Adams. But that was only a taste of what she'll get after I beat her man at No Quarter.

Because after Robert Danson is down and beaten, I'll invite Nicole into my Magic Ambulance of Love, and it'll take us to a secret place, a place found only in the deepest desires of women who can dare to imagine the ultimate satisfaction that can be theirs if they'll be mine. And as I run my hands over her body and taste her soft, red lips, as I make her spine start to quiver and her honey start to drip, the sensations of the sexuality will escalate into the heavens, past all that she ever knew or thought she could know, until she questions how she could ever dare to live in a world without my loving caress. And just when she's streaming with sweat, left tense from the feelings of ultimate sexual satisfaction, feeling that it can never get any better than this... that's when I'll turn the electricity of the ecstaay up to a hundred and eighty thousand volts, until she melts to my touch, only moving as she shakes with the unstoppable feelings of orgasmic overload as she's washed away in a raging river of pure sexual pleasure, until she drowns in the delicious delirum of delightful decadence that only I can share. So Nicole, brace yourself for the coming of the orgasmic overlord, and the pleasures that I'm going to bestow upon you after No Quarter.

The crowd's booing loudly... but "Through The Never" by Metallica just started playing, and that brings out Tim Bell and Robert Danson, accompanied by Nicole! They're not wasting any time talking... they slide into the ring and begin going at it with Dave Adams and Lance Errington, as Bobcat McGavin enters the ring and calls for the bell to begin the match!!

"Doctor" Dave Adams & Lance Errington
w/Nurse Vivacia

vs.

Robert Danson & Tim Bell
w/Nicole

The match begins a a brawl, as Robert Danson begins using his superior power to muscle Dave Adams around and bounce him all over the ring, then continues to punish him on the outside of the ring. As the match moves backand Tim Bell quickly take the early advantage and use their skills to work Dave Adams over, with Robert Danson's power moves adding a devestating edge to the technical arsenal of both men. Nurse Vivacia tries to turn the tide by tripping Robert Danson on the outside, but the advantage is countered seconds later when Nicole trips Dave Adams, evening the odds again. Finally, Dave Adams is able to slip in a low blow and tag in Lance Errington. It's fairly clear that Lance Errington's a more capable brawler and technician than Dave Adams, and with him in the ring the match becomes a more even affair, and after a few minutes of give-and-take, Lance ends up in control after capitalizing on a few mistakes from Robert Danson.

With Robert Danson at a distinct disadvantage, Lance Errington tags in Dave Adams, and the two men begin working him over, even using a modicum of teamwork. Tim Bell clearly wants in against Lance Errington, evidently still rattled from what he was told a few weeks ago, but Lance Errington and Dave Adams don't seem to want to let that happen. However, they only keep the advantage for so long before Robert Danson is able to counter a DDT from Lance Errington with a belly-to-belly suplex, and both men crawl to their corners and make tags! Tim Bell comes in, as does Dave Adams... but Tim Bell just stuns him with a kneelift, then tosses him out of the ring! With Dave Adams gone, Tim Bell grabs Lance Errington and hauls him back inside to begin working him over!! Robert Danson eagerly goes out after Dave Adams on the floor, as Tim Bell begins assaulting Lance Errington in the ring!

Robert Danson batters Dave Adams on the outside, but inside the ring, Tim Bell seems to have Lance Errington nearly finished off! Lance Errington was caught off-guard by Tim Bell coming at him even when he wasn't the legal man, and is now reeling from a few high-impact moves from Tim Bell! Tim Bell puts Lance Errington up on the top turnbuckle, and goes up after him... TOP-ROPE FRANKENSTEINER!! Lance Errington is flattened on the canvas, and Tim Bell goes for the cover... but in the heat of battle, he forgot that Lance Errington wasn't the legal man! Dave Adams is, and he just dropped Robert Danson with a low blow on the outside of the ring! He slides into the ring behind Tim Bell, as Bobcat McGavin explains to him that Lance isn't the legal man... and Tim Bell turns around, right into a kick to the midsection! Dave Adams grabs him, and plants him on the mat with a Rock Bottom-style uranage!! He covers and hooks a leg (as well as a handful of tights) and gets the three-count from Bobcat McGavin!!

Dave Adams and Lance Errington defeated Tim Bell and Robert Danson when Doctor Dave pinned T. Bell after a uranage in 0:10:27.
Rating: * 1/2

Dave Adams just took home a victory here tonight... if he can do that again in six days, he'll have Nicole at his disposal for the evening following No Quarter! But the main reason for his victory tonight doesn't lie so much in any skill or tactic... simply in the fact that Tim Bell seemed so focused on attacking Lance Errington that he lost track of the match at hand! Fortunately for Tim Bell, that won't be a problem when he faces Lance Errington and Brujah in a Triple Threat Match for the VCW Television Title at No Quarter... whether he pins Lance Errington or Brujah that night, the result remains the same... he walks away with the VCW Television Title.

Hold it... we've received word that David Wright Hubbard's about to meet up with his tag team partner in tonight's main event, Sandis Arlington, backstage! Let's go to that right now!!

Backstage...

Sandis Arlington is in a locker room, stretching and preparing himself for the match that's coming up later tonight. He's startled out of his workout, however, when a knock comes on his locker room door.

S. Arlington: Who's there?

D.W. Hubbard: It's the VCW World Champion. I'm coming in.

Before Sandis Arlington can respond, the door opens and David Wright Hubbard steps in, along with his wife, Michelle Hubbard. Sandis Arlington looks at her with a bit of surprise and dismay.

S. Arlington: You didn't say she was here. What if I hadn't been dressed?

M. Hubbard: Then I would've gone back to Melissa and told her all the juicy details. I know that y'all like each other...

Michelle Hubbard shoots a mischief-filled smile at Sandis Arlington, but he doesn't seem amused as he looks to David Wright Hubbard.

S. Arlington: If we need to go over some things before the match, I can understand... but I'm not here to get wrapped up in some love triangle or something like everyone else in this company... so do you suppose we could talk in private? Away from her?

A brief look of incredulous anger flashes across David Wright Hubbard's face as he steps forward at Sandis Arlington.

D.W. Hubbard: Well, it sounds to me like we need to go over one really big thing before the match, and maybe you CAN understand that. I'm not here to get my hands wrapped up around your throat or anything like that... but that's my wife over there, and you better put a respectful tone in your voice before I knock your damn dick in the dirt. Do I make myself clear?

Sandis Arlington doesn't flinch in the least bit at David Wright Hubbard's words, just returning a calm, almost disinterested stare at him.

S. Arlington: I can understand that... but I want you to understand something else, too. I didn't ask to be your tag team partner tonight... if I had my choice, I'd be going against you for the VCW World Title, instead of teaming up with you. But we can't change that. We're on the same side, whether we like it or not. And only a suicidal IDIOT would lay out his tag team partner before he has to go into a match against Troy Black and Tony Garcia. So let's get this done tonight, and any issues we have... there'll be plenty of time to settle those after I get through taking care of Troy Black at No Quarter.

D.W. Hubbard: Yeah... yeah, you got a point. I don't like you as a man, make no mistake about that... but I respect you as a fighter enough to know I'll need you in there tonight. You're absolutely right... only a suicidal idiot lays out his partner with a match like this coming on... but just know one thing. You piss me off tonight... you cross me in any way, or just look at me funny... and you'll be paying for it, after I whip three men's asses at No Quarter.

S. Arlington: Is that so? With the title on the line? Name the time and place... I'm as good as there.

D.W. Hubbard: Yeah... all right then. We'll settle this later. I guess that's about all. We're good for tonight?

David Wright Hubbard offers a hand to Sandis Arlington, and after a brief hesitation, Sandis Arlington takes his hand and shakes it.

S. Arlington: Yeah... for tonight.

The tension in the room seems to break a little bit, and Michelle Hubbard steps forward with an impish smile again.

M. Hubbard: Anything you want me to tell Melissa?

S. Arlington: Sure. Tell her that I'm here to compete, not to play these stupid schoolyard games with a woman who only got into this business based on how she looked before she was torn to shreds with barbed wire a few dozen times.

Michelle Hubbard draws back in shock, but David Wright Hubbard steps forward and shoves Sandis's back against the wall by a hand on his throat, getting face to face with him as rage practically burns in his eyes.

D.W. Hubbard: You better check your mouth... or so help me, you're gonna make a suicidal idiot outta me yet.

David Wright Hubbard shoves Sandis Arlington to the floor, then grabs Michelle by the hand and quickly walks out of the locker room, leading her with him. Sandis Arlington gets up and stares expressionlessly after the door, as the camera fades out on the locker room.

There's a lot of clear tension between Sandis Arlington and the VCW World Champion, David Wright Hubbard... and it could lead to big problems. Tony Garcia and Troy Black are probably two of the most lethal competitors in VCW, and if the team of David Wright Hubbard and Sandis Arlington disintegrates in action tonight, it's very likely that neither one of them will make it out of that ring in any condition to compete at No Quarter. For all that he's accepted the match at No Quarter, there's no doubt that Troy Black would love to take Sandis Arlington out six days early... and Tony Garcia would surely love to finish what he started and cripple David Wright Hubbard before he ever makes it to the title match. They'll need to work together almost flawlessly to stand up to the Black Plague...

But speaking of that, other members of the Black Plague will be in action tonight, in an upcoming six-man tag team match. "Domination" by Pantera begins playing over the arena sound system, and that brings out "The California Crippler" Ken Collins, and the Wrecking Crew, Blade and John Uldwall, accompanied by Stacey Lockman. They all come to the ring, looking rather businesslike, and Ken Collins grabs a microphone.

K. Collins: Lorenzo Vasquez, one of the three men we're taking on tonight, has challenged me to a Submission Match at No Quarter. I'll give him credit... he's a good submission wrestler. But a good submission wrestler isn't the same as a great submission wrestler, and he'll come to find that out when we meet at No Quarter. When he insults Stacey, when he insults my career... I don't know what he's trying to get done. Maybe he just likes to hear himself talk. If that's the case, at No Quarter, he'd better be ready to hear himself scream and cry like a baby.

Ken Collins sets the microphone aside, as the crowd cheers... but "Kiss My Ass" by Ted Nugent begins playing over the arena sound system, and the crowd's cheers quickly become boos as "The Barcelona Assassin" Lorenzo Vasquez, Desmond, and the Grave Digger all come to the ring, accompanied by Rebecca Black, who still looks a bit tossed around after her match earlier in the evening. The Black Plague's here for action, not words, though... they're entering the ring immediately, as Jerry Rogers enters the ring, calling for the bell!

"The California Crippler" Ken Collins & Wrecking Crew
w/Stacey Lockman

vs.

Black Plague ("The Barcelona Assassin" Lorenzo Vasquez, Desmond, & Grave Digger)
w/Rebecca Black

Lorenzo Vasquez and Ken Collins start out the match, each no doubt wanting to prove a little wrestling superiority over the other before No Quarter arrives. They lock up, and Ken Collins goes behind into a wristlock, only to have Lorenzo Vasquez turn around into an armwringer! Ken Collins twists out and into an armwringer of his own, but Lorenzo Vasquez sweeps his legs as he grabs his other arm, then falls back into a cross armbreaker... but before he can get it locked in, Ken Collins slides his arm free, grabs a foot, and puts on an ankle lock submission!! Lorenzo Vasquez pulls himself up and gets to his unoccupied foot, with the other still held by Ken Collins as he gets up... and Lorenzo Vasquez goes for an enzuigiri, but Ken Collins ducks, still holding his other foot, and reapplies the ankle lock when Lorenzo Vasquez crashes back down to the mat! Lorenzo Vasquez panics and scrambles for his corner, but Ken Collins pulls him back into the center of the ring! The Grave Digger comes in and tries to break the hold with a massive elbowdrop to Ken Collins... but he rolls out of the way, and the Grave Digger crashes elbow-first to the canvas, only to have Ken Collins hook that arm in his legs as he applies the California Crossface!! The Grave Digger's trapped in the California Crossface... but during the confusion, Lorenzo Vasquez is able to scramble to his corner and tag in Desmond.

Rather than rushing at Ken Collins immediately, Desmond patiently waits for him to get up, having released the Crossface, and face him. The other Black Plague members seem a little surprised and disgusted, and even moreso when Desmond extends a hand for a pre-match handshake to Ken Collins, and doesn't double-cross him when it's accepted. Finally, they lock up, and Desmond drives Ken Collins into the corner... but then gives a clean break! They lock up again, and this time Ken Collins takes control and begins working over Desmond's shoulder. Desmond tries to retaliate, but Ken Collins is much quicker and more skilled, and many times he ends up on the mat, getting his arm worked over. Ken Collins tags out to Blade, and all three men begin taking turns working over Desmond.

After a few minutes of unsuccessfully fighting back against his opponents, it seems that Desmond finally can't take it any more. He flies into a rage and lashes out with an eye gouge to John Uldwall, then begins opening up on him with a series of punches and kicks, driving him back into the corner, where he proceeds to choke him. But John Uldwall fights back with some brawling offense of his own! Desmond trades blows with John Uldwall for a while before gaining a temporary upper hand, then tags in Lorenzo Vasquez. The match remains even for several minutes, as members of both teams tag in and out, going at it with their opponents... but after several minutes, Blade tries to take down a staggered Grave Digger with a flying cross bodypress, only to be caught and nearly snapped in two by a gigantic backbreaker!!

That allows the Black Plague to take control of the match, and that's exactly what they do, working over Blade aggressively, isolating him in their corner. Lorenzo Vasquez's precise, focused assaults, varied with the sheer power of Desmond and especially the Grave Digger, take their toll on Blade for several minutes. But when Desmond goes for the Outcast, Blade shoves him away, and Desmond goes chest-first into a turnbuckle, then staggers back... and Blade nails him with a spinning leg lariat to the back of the head! Both men go down, and begin crawling to their corners. Blade tags in Ken Collins... and Desmond tags the Grave Digger!!

They enter the ring, and amazingly Ken Collins holds his own against the Grave Digger, avoiding all of his massive offense as he takes him down with a few superior wrestling moves. Desmond, Lorenzo Vasquez, and the Wrecking Crew come in to join the fray, and soon it's a big three-on-three brawl. As the battle rages on, Ken Collins takes the Grave Digger down with a bulldog, then goes up to the top turnbuckle... he's going to try to put him away with the Flying Dropkick!! He's on top, and the Grave Digger turns around... but Rebecca Black shoves him forward, off of the turnbuckle, into the waiting arms of the Grave Digger... GRAVE YARD SLAM!! He just flattened Ken Collins, and now he picks him up by the throat... CHOKESLAM!! And now he's coming up from behind Blade, who's brawling with Desmond... and he puts on a cobra clutch from behind... CRADLE TO GRAVE!! The Grave Digger's cleaning house, but now John Uldwall's up on the top turnbuckle, as the Grave Digger turns around! He comes off with the Flying Shoulder Tackle... and just glances right off of the Grave Digger's massive chest!! The Grave Digger staggers back a few steps, but doesn't go down... and now John Uldwall's getting up again, but the Grave Digger grabs his throat... CHOKESLAM!!

All three of his opponents have been laid to waste, and now the Grave Digger's picking Ken Collins up off of the mat... BURIAL!! That'll do it, right there, and he puts a massive hand on his chest to cover... but Lorenzo Vasquez tells him to get up!! Lorenzo Vasquez goes out to the apron, and demands a tag. The Grave Digger hesitates, and cocks his head at him... but makes the tag! Lorenzo Vasquez quickly comes in and covers the fallen body of Ken Collins, hooking a leg and a handful of tights... not like that's needed, because Ken Collins is laid out after the Burial. The three count here's academic, and Lorenzo Vasquez just pinned Ken Collins!

Rating: * 3/4

The crowd boos loudly, and Lorenzo Vasquez gets up, raising his hands in victory and smiling like he just won the VCW World Title... and he grabs a microphone. Come on... he's already won the match... what does he have to say that could be worth hearing!?

L. Vasquez: Ken, you pathetic piece of shit... you just got your ass kicked again!! Yeah, but things are gonna be different at No Quarter, aren't they? Yeah, instead of getting pinned, you're gonna be tapping out. And then all these people lining up to kiss your ass all day long will all see you for what you really are... an overhyped loser who just got taken out by the Barcelona Assassin. And Stacey, you're gonna have to find someone else's dick to get your jollies on... because after what I do to this little bitch, you ain't gonna want him anymore.

The crowd boos, and Lorenzo Vasquez tosses aside the microphone and begins making his way backstage with Rebecca Black, Desmond, and the Grave Digger... and inside the ring, the damage has been done. The Wrecking Crew members are only now getting back up, and Stacey Lockman climbs into the ring to help them in helping Ken Collins to his feet. He receives a solid round of cheers in spite of the loss as Stacey helps him backstage, along with the Wrecking Crew. At No Quarter, in a one-on-one match, things could easily end very differently than they did tonight...

We're going right into another big match... and this one involves eight men! "War Machine" by KISS begins playing, and here comes the first team, consisting of Stiff Competition, Bass Rogers and Dean Sanders, and the Heavy Metal Express, Marty Jannetty and Lars Coverdale, to a large round of cheers from the crowd. These two teams don't have much in common, apart from a mutual enemy tonight... but they'll be on the same side in this big match. They enter the ring, and Marty and Lars play air guitar and bang their heads, as Bass Rogers climbs to one of the top turnbuckles and raises his hands above his head, letting out a mighty bellow to the crowd.

"Walk" by Pantera kicks on next, and the crowd gives a huge round of boos as Crimson, Jack Norman, and Butch Manson, all three members of Hell's Bikers, come to the ring with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Crimson is still wearing the VCW Intercontinental Title around his waist as they come to the ring, and he seems to be the source of most of the crowd's hatred. They enter the ring and begin gearing up for a fight, as Brendan Powers enters the ring and calls for the bell to begin this match!!

Stiff Competition & Heavy Metal Express

vs.

Hell's Bikers (Jack Norman, Butch Manson, & Crimson) & "Macho Man" Randy Savage

Hell's Bikers start the match at a disadvantage, caught off-guard by their opponents' variety of wrestling styles. Bass Rogers's power and brawling contrasts sharply to the quickness and high-flying ability of the Heavy Metal Express, and Dean Sanders can do all of that, plus wrestle a technical match. As they finally adapt and become more cautious in their early approaches, they begin to have more success, and the match becomes fairly even for several minutes, as members of both teams try their hand at taking on their opponents, with no one team taking the advantage for any great length of time.

However, that all changes when Crimson absorbs a dropkick from Lars Coverdale, then nearly knocks his head into the cheap seats with a massive lariat. Lars Coverdale goes down hard, and Crimson drags him into his team's corner, where they take turns working him over and bumping him all around the ring, sometimes taking him outside for further punishment. All four men take turns mauling Lars Coverdale for a few minutes, and finally Butch Manson gives him a piledriver, then seems set to finish him off. He's going up to the top turnbuckle... what's this all about? This hasn't worked out for him so well in the past... MOONSAULT!! But Lars Coverdale gets his knees up!! Butch Manson's ill-fated moonsault strikes again, and now both men are in a bad way in the middle of the ring! They go to their corners... and in come Jack Norman and Dean Sanders!!

Jack Norman and Dean Sanders meet in the middle of the ring and begin slugging it out, and Crimson, Butch Manson, Marty Jannetty, and Lars Coverdale join them on the inside, as Bass Rogers begins brawling with "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the outside. The ring is filled with chaos... but someone's coming out of the backstage area!! It's Johnny Smiles!! Johnny Smiles creeps down the aisle as the brawl continues raging on inside of the ring, and he's moving to the timekeeper's table... and he grabs the VCW Intercontinental Title from it!! But Crimson turns around and spots him!! Johnny Smiles freezes for a second, then bolts, sprinting up the ramp and running for the backstage area... and Crimson slides out of the ring, and begins chasing after him!!

Brendan Powers stares after Crimson, yelling at him to come back, that the match isn't over... and while he's not looking, on the other side of the ring, Bass Rogers just laid out "Macho Man" Randy Savage with a big chairshot! He climbs into the ring... and he nails Butch Manson with a chairshot too!! And Dean Sanders whips Jack Norman towards Bass Rogers... right into another massive blow from the chair!! Bass Rogers chucks the chair out of the ring just as Brendan Powers turns back around... and Bass Rogers and Dean Sanders are lifting Jack Norman... DOUBLE POWER BOMB!! Dean Sanders covers Jack Norman, but Randy Savage is getting up on the outside... but Lars Coverdale runs and leaps over the ropes, diving out onto him with a tope con hilo, as Brendan Powers makes the three count!!

Rating: DUD

Stiff Competition and the Heavy Metal Express just picked up a huge victory here... but one has to wonder, would this match have gone differently had Crimson not taken off after Johnny Smiles? If Crimson was ready to destroy Johnny before, knowing that he may have caused Hell's Bikers to lose this match will only make his bloodlust even stronger. Butch Manson's getting up, inside the ring... and Bass Rogers mows him down with a huge lariat!! Stiff Competition and the Heavy Metal Express are heading backstage now, with the crowd cheering loudly behind them! Meanwhile, back in the ring, Butch Manson and Jack Norman get up, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage is in there, evidently none too pleased with their loss... but as they call attention to the fact that Crimson went AWOL, Randy Savage's anger seems to take a very different twist. He's stalking towards the backstage area right now with an angered look on his face... and if Crimson and "Macho Man" Randy Savage end up coming to blows, God only knows what'll be left over when they're through!

With the ring cleared once again... the time has come for our main event. "I, Zombie (Europe In The Raw Mix)" by White Zombie begins playing, and the crowd explodes into a rafter-shaking roar of boos as Tony Garcia and Troy Black step out of the backstage area, accompanied by Rebecca Black and Amy Lin, who now wears a bandage on her forehead. They come to the ring, and Troy Black holds the ropes open for the women, then immediately grabs a microphone.

T. Black: Sandis... whether it's tonight or No Quarter, I must warn you... it's over. Last week, I found out how good you were, and I'll give you a little credit... you're pretty good. But you're just not good enough to compete with Troy Black. You were a beaten man last week before you disappeared in the darkness... and the smartest thing for you to do now would be to disappear permanently. I'm sure that's not going to happen... you want to make a martyr out of yourself, just like Gabriel and Falcon. It's perhaps a little fitting that we're doing this at No Quarter... because I ask no quarter, and I give no quarter... and if you're really so inclined to give your physical health and well-being... possibly your life as you know it... for this foolish dream of somehow pinning Troy Black... then I fully intend to take it.

The crowd boos loudly, and those boos continue as Troy Black hands the microphone to Tony Garcia.

T. Garcia: Six days, people... six days until I dethrone that worthless champion David Wright Hubbard and take the title that I richly deserve. I made him tap out, twice... I beat that man within an inch of his life, and I'm prepared to mess some people up at No Quarter to take what's rightfully mine. If I end up beating "Macho Man" Randy Savage... well, I got some respect for the man because he comes from the old days, even if he was part of McMahon's sideshow. If I beat Falcon... I never did like that punk, and I'll be happy to snap his ass like a twig. But if I beat David Wright Hubbard... that's what I've been waiting for. That's what I really want. I want that son of a bitch to look himself in the mirror the next morning, and recognize that he just got his ass royally whipped by Tony Garcia, the baddest man on the planet and the new VCW World Champion. Six days, cowboy... six days, and I'm gonna kick your ass and take my title home!!

The crowd boos... but those boos turn into cheers when "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath begins playing over the arena sound system, bringing out the VCW World Champion, David Wright Hubbard, and Sandis Arlington!! They walk to the ring, and David Wright Hubbard's still clearly limping with the effects of his injured knee, and he's still wearing the kneebrace, in addition to the VCW World Title and his usual ring attire. They don't look a bit comfortable coming to the ring together, constantly exchanging suspicious glares... but they're determined to do this anyway! They climb into the ring, and Linda Peterson calls for the bell, signalling the beginning of our main-event match tonight!

David Wright Hubbard & Sandis Arlington

vs.

Black Plague (Troy Black & Tony Garcia)
w/Rebecca Black & Amy Lin

It looks like Sandis Arlington and Troy Black are going to start... but no, Troy Black tags out to Tony Garcia! The crowd boos, and Sandis clearly looks a little displeased. David Wright Hubbard yells "TAG ME IN!!", but Sandis shoots him a contemptful glance that indicates his intent to do no such thing, then goes after Tony Garcia. He nails him with three punches, and whips him into the ropes... no, Tony Garcia reverses, and lashes out with a lariat as Sandis comes off, but Sandis ducks under! Tony Garcia turns around, and Sandis jumps up and brings him down with a spinning headscissors! Tony Garcia gets up, angrily, but Sandis staggers him with a dropkick, then whips him into a corner and follows him in with a jumping avalanche! Tony Garcia staggers out, and Sandis steps out to the apron and springs up on the top rope, then leaps off to connect with a springboard dropkick that takes Tony Garcia down! He goes for the cover... and only gets two before Tony Garcia kicks out powerfully.

Now Sandis grudgingly tags in David Wright Hubbard, who comes and immediately continues the offense, opening up on Tony Garcia with a series of big right hands. He puts on a front chancery and carefully braces himself with his good leg... and he takes the massive Tony Garcia down with a vertical suplex!! Tony Garcia begins trying to back off and regroup, but David Wright Hubbard's not having any of it... he backs him against the ropes with a series of right hands, then steps back and measrues him for a fraction of a second before coming forward and mauling him with a huge lariat that sends him over the top rope to the floor! Tony Garcia begins getting up on the outside... and David Wright Hubbard grabs the ropes, and slingshots himself out onto him with a slingshot cross bodypress on the floor!! David Wright Hubbard continues to assault Tony Garcia on the outside of the ring, taking him head-first into some of the unforgiving steel fixtures and whipping him into the guardrail, then taking him back into the ring!! Tony Garcia's getting his ass whipped in the early goings of this match!!

David Wright Hubbard tags in Sandis Arlington, and Sandis begins going after Tony Garcia... but when he goes for a superkick, Tony Garcia ducks, then pops up to take him down with a big clothesline! He works over Sandis with some powerful blows and slams, then tags in Troy Black, and the two Black Plague members begin dominating Sandis Arlington... but their domination is short-lived, because when Tony Garcia goes for a avalanche in the corner, Sandis Arlington kicks him in the head! Tony Garcia staggers back, and Sandis Arlington mounts the top turnbuckle, then leaps off with a flying dropkick, taking him down!! He goes for the cover... and only gets two and a half! Tony Garcia's still not seriously fazed! Sandis plants him with a Rocker Dropper, then tags in David Wright Hubbard, who once again begins mauling him... but when David Wright Hubbard charges with a lariat, Tony Garcia ducks, then brings him down with a double-leg takedown and crawls on top of him, beating him up with some hard shots to the face and ribs until Linda Peterson admonishes him.

Tony Garcia and Troy Black take control of David Wright Hubbard, beating him viciously and working over his injured knee with a vengance. They isolate him from his corner, and spend several minutes working over his knee... softening him up no doubt for not only this match, but for his match at No Quarter! After tearing his knee apart for a good long while, Troy Black grabs David Wright Hubbard's legs, and applies a figure-four leglock!! David Wright Hubbard's stuck in the figure-four, unable to go anywhere... but he's slowly turning the hold over! Troy Black's trying to fight it, but David Wright Hubbard's much larger and stronger, and he's fighting out of it... and he turns the hold over! Troy Black has to break it, but he quickly gets up, measuring David Wright Hubbard... and runs off the ropes, then springs at him with a leaping clothesline... but David Wright Hubbard ducks, and Troy Black wipes out on the mat! Troy Black gets up again... and David Wright Hubbard nails him with a lariat!! But he blew out his knee in the process, and both men are down. They both begin struggling to their corners, and Troy Black makes the tag... here comes Tony Garcia!! But David Wright Hubbard makes the tag... and here comes Sandis Arlington!!

Tony Garcia rushes Sandis Arlington, but Sandis Arlington avoids his attempts at offense, taking him down repeatedly with quick moves and keeping him off-guard. Tony Garcia takes control with an eye gouge, then whips Sandis into the corner... and he yells "THIS TIME I GOT HIM!!" and charges in with an avalanche... but Sandis Arlington slips out of the way, and Tony Garcia collides with the turnbuckles! He staggers back, and Sandis comes in from the side... RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP!! Tony Garcia's down, and Sandis Arlington goes up to the top turnbuckle... MOVING SHADOW!! He covers, and hooks a leg... but Troy Black reaches out from his corner, and slaps Tony Garcia's hand to tag himself in before the three-count is made!

Troy Black begins going after Sandis Arlington... but Sandis Arlington's fighting him off as well! He whips Troy Black into the ropes, and lashes out with a clothesline... but Troy Black ducks, and comes off the other side to take Sandis Arlington down with a jumping clothesline! Troy Black whips Sandis into the turnbuckle... but as he staggers out, David Wright Hubbard slaps his hand, tagging himself in! Sandis Arlington obviously seems a little irked by that, but David Wright Hubbard's the legal man, and he charges in, working over Troy Black with a series of big rights, then doubling him over by kicking him in the gut with his good leg. Standing headscissors... he's going for a power bomb!! But Troy Black counters that with a Frankensteiner!! David Wright Hubbard goes down, and both he and Troy Black begin getting up... but Sandis is waiting on Troy Black... SUPERKICK!! But Troy Black ducks, and he catches David Wright Hubbard!! David Wright Hubbard goes down, but Sandis keeps after Troy Black, nailing him with a series of punches... but Tony Garcia comes from behind and tackles him to the mat!

David Wright Hubbard begins getting up slowly, and Troy turns around... and kicks him in the midsection!! DOUBLE ARM DDT!! And now Troy Black's going up to the top turnbuckle... BLACK DAGGER!! He just nailed the VCW World Champion with the Black Dagger, and he goes for the cover!! Sandis Arlington breaks free from Tony Garcia and rushes forward for the save... but Amy Lin reaches in and trips him from the outside, allowing Linda Peterson to count to three on David Wright Hubbard!! Troy Black and Tony Garcia just won this match!!

Rating: *** 1/2

The Black Plague just took this one, and David Wright Hubbard is laid out! Sandis Arlington is up, though, and he's going after Troy Black again, attacking him even after the match is over! Troy Black begins fighting back, and they're going at it in the middle of the ring, even before No Quarter! Tony Garcia gets up, and he goes for the wooden axe handle... and he's coming up from behind Sandis. He draws it back for a swing... AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT!! They remain out for several seconds, and nothing can be heard or seen... but when the lights come back on, Sandis Arlington's gone! Tony Garcia and Troy Black are still up, and it appears that in his experienced wisdom, Tony Garcia knew better than to repeat Rebecca Black's mistake last week and take a swing at Sandis in the darkness.

Sandis Arlington's gone... but David Wright Hubbard's still down on the mat, and Tony Garcia stands over him, getting in his face and pointing at him as he says something, then making a motion of putting a belt around his waist. He seems to be saying that David Wright Hubbard's days as a VCW World Champion are nearly over... but is he correct? Who will emerge from No Quarter as the VCW World Champion!? We don't know yet, but what we do know is that we're out of time tonight!! See you at No Quarter, live on pay-per-view!!
