NWA Central States Wrestling presents....
CSW Cyclone Saturday Night


May 06, 2006
Announcers: Joey Styles & Tazz
Kansas City Uptown Theatre


Ring Announcer Howard Finkel started the show in the ring.

Finkel: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the premiere of CSW Cyclone Saturday Night. Your opening contest is scheduled for one fall, and is the Cyclone Spotlight Match!


Chris Sabin v Brent Albright
Heated back and forth matchup between the two youngsters. Sabin rattled off much of his high-flying moveset, but Albright stayed with him. Nice sequence in the middle where Albright attempted a delayed suplex, but Sabin fell behind and nailed a German Suplex with a bridge for a near fall. Finish came when Sabin went for the Cradle Shock, but this time Albright slipped behind him, and dropped him to the mat into the crowbar (his version of the Fujiwara Armbar). Sabin tapped out. Crowd was a little dead at the lack of star power to open the show. After the match, both wrestlers exchanged a handshake in the middle of the ring to applause.

Albright defeats Sabin by submission. * (60/44/77)

Styles: Great opening match by these two youngsters. I look forward to big things from them in the future.


In-Ring Segment: Hail to the Chief
Shane Douglas made his way to the ring to scattered ECW chants.

Douglas: NWA fans! CSW fans! WRESTLING fans! It is my honor at this time, to introduce to you, the man selected by NWA Central States wrestling as the President of this company, that will lead us into a new standard of excellence in professional wrestling.....

The Excellence of Execution, Bret “Hitman” Hart


Bret Hart came to ringside to a nice reaction from the live crowd. After they calmed down and stopped chanting, he grabbed the microphone:

Hart: Well I said you’d probably never see me in a wrestling ring again unless Vince McMahon went out of business. Who’d have thunk it huh? Well, it is truly and honor and a privilege to be here, and be part of something that I really believe in. NWA Central States wrestling fully intends on being the leading territory in the NWA and the revolution and revitalizing of the professional wrestling industry.

How did you all like that opening match that Chris Sabin and Brent Albright put on? (scattered cheers) Well good, because that was the introduction of our first segment, the Cyclone Spotlight. Every week, we’ll kick off the show with the Cyclone Spotlight, and two wrestlers will go one on one. It’s a winner-stays situation. The winner of the match will return next week on Cyclone, and return to the Cyclone Spotlight matchup to take on a new competitor who tries to make a name for himself. What better way than leading off Cyclone Saturday Night to make yourself known in this industry.

Now, on to more business. The decision to come back into wrestling as part of a television show wasn’t an easy one for me. But when the owners of this territory came to me with their idea, it was just too perfect for me to turn it away. It is my honor, at this time, to announce the first ever Owen Hart Memorial Tournament. (Thunderous applause)

Posted Image

This tournament will begin tonight, and will crown our first Central States Wrestling Champion. Over the next two weeks we will have first round matchups, followed by the Quarterfinal Matchups the week after. The semi-finals and Finals will take place at CWS’ first Supershow, entitled Blaze of Glory. This show will emanate, appropriately, from Kemper Arena right here in Kansas City, on Tuesday Night, May 23rd. Tickets go on sale immediately following the show tonight, and for those of you who can’t make it, a DVD will be made available showcasing the entire memorable night.

Now I’ve talked long enough out here, so let me quickly tell you just what you’ll be seeing tonight. Our first 4 matches in the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament to crown our CWS Champion. You’ll see Samoa Joe going one on one with James Gibson. Roderick Strong faces off with the Road Dogg, Jesse James, and in our main event, Charlie Hass goes face to face with ”The Game”, Triple H!

But let’s get it started right now with the first match of the tournament.


(76)


1st Round Tournament Match: Alex Shelley v X-pac
All Tournament matches will have a 15 minute time limit. Shelley and X-pac’s quick strike styles matched up well together here. Shelley in particular looked very impressive, hitting all his signature spots while playing to the crowd and drawing a great reaction. Shelley worked a chinlock as X-pac battled out and hit a back suplex, laying both men out on the mat. X-pac regained control and set Shelley up for the Bronco Buster. Shelley was able to move out of the way, and X-pac was laid out. Shelley climbed to the top turnbuckle, and launched him self off at X-pac as he got to his feet. Shelley nailed the crossbody block, but X-pac was able to roll through and score the 3 count!

X-pac defeats Shelley by pinfall. **1/4 (74/62/86)
Post-match: After the match, X-pac offered his hand to Shelley, obviously impressed. Shelley grabbed his hand, but yanked X-pac forward and nailed the Shellshock (Flatliner) before leaving to a chorus of boos.

Styles: Great match there from two guys with similar styles, but I could have done without the unnecessary post-match attack by Shelley.


Qualifying CWS Tag Team Title Match: The Mexicools v Jindrak & O’Haire
It was announced that the winner of this match would advance to Blaze of Glory on May 23rd to wrestle for the CSW Tag Team Titles. Great Match here. Jindrak and O’Haire didn’t miss a beat being teamed up again, and actually looked quite good, mixing their shooting backgrounds with their wrestling. The announcers really put over their work in MMA and how it has helped them become more aggressive in the ring. The Mexicools were crazy over, and showcased their high flying skills. A hot, fast match that would’ve been even better on a bigger stage. The finish came with Crazy and Psicosis hit a double dropkick on O’Haire on the apron, sending him to the floor. They then nailed Jindrak in the center of the ring with the Total Elimination (High kick to the front, low kick to the back) before ascending opposite turnbuckles and coming off with a Psicosis Legdrop and a Crazy Moonsault for the win.

The Mexicools defeat Jindrak & O’Haire by pinfall. *** (80/68/93)

Tazz: What a match there. Jindrak and O’Haire had almost no ring rust, and the Mexicools just looked great as well. I wouldn’t mind seeing that one again.


1st Round Tournament Match: Samoa Joe v James Gibson
The crowd was pretty burnt out after the last match, and Joe and Gibson didn’t help much. Their styles really didn’t seem to mesh together well here, but they worked it out. Both exchanges heated chops in the opening moments, and Gibson played face here, staying away from the bigger Joe for most of the match. Joe came very close to locking in the Kokina Clutch a few times, but Gibson continued to escape. Finish came when Gibson took control and was setting Joe up for a Tornado DDT. As Gibson jumped off the ropes, Joe spun him all the way around, setting back up on the top rope. Joe then gave him a vicious right hand, and put him up for the Musclebuster. He nailed it, and then locked in the Kokina Clutch on the prone Gibson for the tapout.

Samoa Joe defeats James Gibson by submission. * (62/48/77)
Post-Match: After referee Charles Robinson called for the bell, Joe still wouldn’t break the hold. He kept it locked on Gibson, who was lifeless by now. The referee tried prying him off, but it didn’t help. The referee shouted something at Joe, and went to call for the bell again, but Joe let go and walked away.

Styles: Wow, impressive display of aggressiveness and raw power by Samoa Joe. I’m officially a believer, and I’m officially frightened by that man


Backstage Segment: “The Game” prepares to play
Triple H is walking through the backstage area, warming himself up for his match tonight. He comes along Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, who seem to be talking strategy in the corner of the hallway.
Triple H: Well hey there fellas. You guys having a little meeting on how to go about winning this little tournament? You know, I checked the brackets, and the Superfriends, that’s you two, would have to meet each other in the finals of this tournament. Luckily I’m here, so you won’t have to worry about that, cause there’s no way your ass is getting by me tonight, you hear me Haas?
Shelton: Go on Charlie, go get ready. Triple H, I got news for you. You aren’t the Big Man on Campus anymore. This isn’t the WWE. And your daddy doesn’t run things around here. The playing field is finally level for you, me, and the rest of the Central States roster. I know that has to have you just shaking in your boots. Now, I know you’re a hell of a talented wrestler, but just how good are you when it’s all about just that: wrestling. This is Central States, where we’re making the old school new agai—
Triple H: Yeah yeah Benjamin, I’ve heard the stupid slogan about 50 times already. Making the old school new again. Well guess what, I AM the old school. And I AM the new school. That’s what all you young guys don’t get. A change of scenery doesn’t make me any less of The Man. I am still the most talented wrestler on the face of this planet, and I intend to prove it each and every night. But don’t forget, I’m still the meanest, smartest, ruthless son of a bitch on this planet, and I WILL prove that to you every night. Now I hope you gave Haas some good pointers on how to hover in the midcard, cause I gotta get going to my Main Event match.

1st Round Tournament Match: Road Dogg v Roderick Strong
Suprisingly good match here from a clash of styles. Road Dogg had the crowd eating out of his hand for most of the match, and continually outsmarted Strong. Strong took control after a neckbreaker on Road Dogg, and showed a nice vicious streak in the middle, hitting a combination of backbreakers and going to a submission with a Bow and Arrow. Road Dogg reached the ropes for the break. Strong and Road Dogg then fought over a suplex, with Road Dogg eventually winning. As he took Strong up, Strong dropped behind Road Dogg, and then pushed him into the ropes, where they then both rolled backwards into a pinning combination. The referee got to 2 before Road Dogg grabbed a handful of tights and pulled Strong over to give Road Dogg the 3 count!

Road Dogg defeats Roderick Strong by pinfall. *1/2 (67/57/78)
Post-Match: Strong looked at the referee in disbelief as Road Dogg just looked at him and gave a shrug of the shoulder. Strong then rolled to the outside, hands on his head. He really couldn’t believe what just happened.

Tazz: This kid just got outsmarted by a guy that’s been around a little longer. Nothing to be ashamed of in that. I was impressed by Roderick Strong, but he still has a hell of alot to learn before he is gonna beat a guy like the Road Dogg.

Strong looked over at Tazz, having heard what he just said. Strong made his way closer to Tazz and looked to say “Oh, I don’t have it huh?”. Tazz slowly stood up out of his chair and attempted to explain himself, when Strong slapped the headset right off of his head. Tazz took his glasses off and started unbuttoning his dress coat when Styles talked him into sitting back down. Strong made his way out, with an angry, yet satisfied, look on his face.


1st Round Tournament Match: Triple H v Charlie Haas
Largest crowd reaction of the night came for Triple H and this match. Good match here as well, as Triple H immediately targeted the knee of Charlie Haas. Hass battled back though, out wrestling Triple H and taking him to the ground where he worked on a vicious headlock. Triple H turned the tide back his way when he sent Haas face first into the corner, and then clipped the knee from behind. Triple H set up a figure four, but Haas pushed him off as he spun around, and sent him into the turnbuckle, where Triple H stumbled out right into a small package for a very near fall. Hass then grabbed Triple H around the waist and nailed a German Suplex. He attempted to bridge for the pin, but his knee gave out on him. As both men got to their feet, Haas was favoring the knee so much, he left himself open to a kick right to the stomach, and Triple H nailed the Pedigree for the win.

Triple H defeats Charlie Haas by pinfall **1/2 (76/77/74)
Post-Match: Triple H was jawing with the crowd as Haas got to his feet. Triple H viciously clipped his knee from behind and continued assaulting the knee. He dragged Haas to the corner of the ring and slid under the bottom rope. Triple H then wrapped Haas’ knee around the post a few times, and then locked in the Figure 4 Leglock around the ring post. Haas screamed in pain as Triple H held on to the hold. Shelton Benjamin came running down to the ringside area, but Triple H released the hold and backed away from Haas with his hands in the air. Shelton checked on Charlie Haas at the camera faded out.

Dude, I LOVED your backstage segment with Triple H. Very well written, and very typical Triple H wise-ass banter. You succeeded in making me hope the bastard doesn't win the tournament.

And nice bracket graphics too. At the risk of sounding naive, how did you make them?

First, and foremost, thanks for the feedback on my diary amigo.

I liked your show, it was really good, and well laid out. It flowed great.

I like the bracket idea, however, the top bracket is loaded with superstars, and the lower tier has not as much star power.

I liked the Triple H promo, I can actually hear him saying something like that in my mind, lol.

Road Dogg defeating Roderick Strong ? Let me guess, Dogg said Strong wasn't in his league ?

Keep up the good work !

And, I'm pissed that your show got a better rating than mine !

NWA: CSW Cyclone Saturday Night Preview:
Quote:
 
Don't miss all the action this Saturday night, May 13th, on TBS, when NWA: Central States bring you Cyclone Saturday Night.

Last week, we learned from the new Central States President, Bret Hart, that the Central States Wrestling Champion will be crowned at Blaze of Glory in the culmination of the first annual Owen Hart Memorial Tournament.  The supershow, which takes place exactly 7 years after Owen's unfortunate accident, on Tuesday, May 23rd, will feature both the semi-finals and finals of the tournament to crown a champion.  First round matches to take place this week: 

Jeff Jarrett makes his return to the ring when he battles former TNA, ECW, and WWE star Kid Kash.  What kind of clash will these two infamous bad-apples have when they meet in the NWA ring?

The stars of yesterday and the stars of the future continue to mix and mingle as Billy Gunn attempts to cut short the rising stock of Austin Aries.  The two former TNA stars will now to battle in the Central States ring for the first time. 

And in a mix of international superstars, Masato Tanaka goes one on one with Low-Ki in a match that many feel could be the FINALS of this tournament, not the first round match up.  Which of these men will pick up the victory and collect their prize:  A date in the next round with Samoa Joe. 

First round matches culminate this week when Shelton Benjamin takes on Ken Shamrock.  Storylines all over in this.  Shamrock making his return to the squared circle after what seems like a lifetime off.  And what kind of condition will Benjamin be in emotionally after watching Triple H destroy his former tag team partner Charlie Haas last week.

Don't miss all the action as TBS and the NWA bring you Central States Wrestling Cyclone Saturday Night!

CSW Cyclone Saturday Night


May 13, 2006
Announcers: Joey Styles & Tazz
Kansas City Uptown Theatre



Cyclone Spotlight: Nova v Brent Albright
Cyclone opened up with the introduction of the Cyclone Spotlight match. The announcers talked about the stipulations, and the opportunities for guys to make an impact on Cyclone. They re-enforced the “winner stays” structure of the Spotlight feature. Albright and Nova went right to work on each other, clicking quite well. Nova got mixed reactions from the crowd, but generally drew a lot of heat, returning to his old persona. Albright worked over Nova’s arm and shoulder heavily in this match, but Nova took control after a powerbomb. Nova set Albright up for the Curb Stomp, but Albright yanked his arm forward, sending Nova to the mat, and wrenched on him with the Crowbar for the victory!

Albright defeats Nova by submission in 7:21 *1/4 (64/48/80)

Tazz: This kid Brent Albright gets the win again, and we’ll be seeing him again next week to open up Cyclone! Very impressive submission work from the youngster.


Backstage Segment: Looking ahead?
A close-up shot of the brackets for the Owen Hart Memorial Tournament shows the current round, and slowly pulls away to reveal Samoa Joe examining the brackets to see who he’ll face in the next round. A voice comes from outside of the picture:

Voice: Don’t look too far ahead, or you might see something you don’t wanna see.

Triple H walks into the picture as Joe just looks up with a bit of a disgusted look on his face.

Triple H: Yeah, I checked it out too. Let’s see here. Next week, after I advance I head to the semi-finals at Blaze of Glory I’ll face one of three guys. Everyone is talking about this potential showdown between me and this Joe fella. Have you heard of him? I think its Somalia, or Saskatchewan, or....ah....Samoa Joe, that’s right.

Joe, still with a grimace, almost turns it into a smile as he turns and begins to walk away. Triple H grabs his arm, and Joe looks up, any hint of a smile disappearing.

Triple H: Wait a minute there. I feel so embarrassed. You’re him, aren’t you! I just...well, expected a little more. I’ve heard all about this “Submission Machine” and all this stuff. You just look kind of....well, kind of short, kind of flabby. You kind of look like nothing special. And I saw what you did out there last week. Put that little sleeper-hold on and then didn’t wanna let go. It wasn’t very nice really. But did you see what “I” did? That’s how you make an impact, kid. I damn near tore Charlie Haas’ knee clean off the bone. Sure, everyone knew my name before, but now there won’t be any confusion as to my intentions. And speaking of intentions, I wanna let you know something right now. If you ever, and I mean ever, get in my wa---

Joe gives a quick flinch to Triple H with his shoulders and arms, stopping him dead in his tracks and making him jump backwards and stumble over an equipment box on the floor. Joe smiles and turns to walk away, leaving Triple H sitting there, enraged, with his nostrils flaring. He kicks the equipment box out of the way and climbs to his feet.

1st Round Tournament Match: Jeff Jarrett v Kid Kash
All tournament matches are contested under a 15 minute limit. Jarrett and Kash both came out to the ring to negative reactions from the crowd, although Jarrett’s was a bit louder. They started in the center of the ring, exchanging words, and then Kash slapped Jarrett, getting things started for a bit of a brawl. Jarrett worked on grounding the high-flying Kash in the middle of the match, working on his knee with everything from the Ric Flair playbook. Kash came back at the end and tried for a moonsault. Jarrett rolled out of the way, and then picked Kash up and nailed the Stroke for the win.

Jarrett defeats Kash by pinfall in 7:43. ** (70/59/81)

Styles: Great debut for Jeff Jarrett here in CSW. He seemed very on track and focused on what he was doing, and it’s nice to see him out here alone for once.


1st Round Tournament Match: Austin Aries v Billy Gunn
Gunn and Aries took it right to each other in this contest of old v new. Aries looked very good in there, and used his quickness to take it to Gunn with a differing style of high impact moves and matwork. Gunn went for a back suplex, but Aries flipped behind him and nailed a German Suplex for a near fall. Gunn took control after a series of clotheslines, and set Aries up for the Fame-asser with a kick to the stomach. As Gunn jumped, Aries moved out of the way, and snatched him up into a Brainbuster. Aries didn’t cover, and instead dragged Gunn to the corner. Aries went up top for the 450 Splash, but Gunn moved out the way. As Aries got to his feet, Gunn leaped up and hit the Fame-Asser for the win!

Gunn defeats Aries by pinfall in 9:04. *3/4 (68/63/74)

Styles: Great win for Billy Gunn, advancing him in the tournament where he’ll face his former friend Triple H in the quarter-finals. Gunn is celebrating his victory down the aisle, and it looks like Shane Douglas is going to try and get a word in the ring with Austin Aries.

In-Ring Segment: The Franchise wants some answers?
Douglas: Austin Aries, congratulations on a great match, but a tough loss at the end.

Douglas puts the mic towards Aries, who barely gives it a glance.

Douglas: Well Austin, it seems so far in CSW that the veterans have been controlling things around here. We’ve seen such up and coming stars as Kid Kash, Roderick Strong, James Gibson, and now yourself fall to some more established veterans with years of experience behind them. What are your thoughts on that?

Douglas again extends the microphone towards Aries, but Aries just gives him a drop-dead look.

Douglas: Listen kid, I’m not trying to be hard on you here. Just trying to give you a ch—

Aries cuts him off and grabs the microphone from him.

Aries: My thoughts? My thoughts on losing? It SUCKS! What do you think old man? You think I enjoy losing a match? Hell no. But the last thing I need after a loss is to have your old ass sliding in here and interrogating me. You wanna know what I think of all these supposed “veterans” getting the wins around here?

As Aries is talking to Douglas, right in his face, Roderick Strong slides into the ring behind Douglas, watching Aries’ every word.

Aries: Yeah, so what. Billy Gunn beat me one time. I made a mistake. I thought he was all washed up, and I was wrong. He might have 2 or 3 good matches left in him. But not you Shane. You ARE all washed up, and I bet it kills you to be in here doing this mop-up duty, doesn’t it?

Aries extends the mic toward Douglas, but quickly pulls it away, and Douglas doesn’t look happy.

Aries: What’s that Shane? You miss the in-ring action? But your old ass knees just won’t allow it anymore? Well maybe you just need a little push to get back in there.

Roderick Strong shoves Shane from behind, who is caught off guard. As he turns to Strong, Aries kicks him in the back of the knee, and he and Strong double-team Douglas to the ground. The pound on him with stomps and kicks, before picking him up for a double team maneuver. Austin Aries heads to the top rope as Roderick Strong sets up Douglas in a powerbomb position. Just then, Tazz rushes in from the announcer’s table and charges at Strong, who, along with Aries, bails out of the ring and heads up the aisle. Tazz leans over and checks on Douglas, who gets up, infuriated, and stares down the two youngsters in the aisle.

1st Round Tournament Match: Masato Tanaka v Low-Ki
Great match from these two with a ton of stiff punches, kicks, and elbows from both. Every time Tanaka seemed to be taking the upper hand, Ki would respond with a vicious kick, flooring him. Around the 5 minute mark, they brawled to the outside and exchanged vicious moves on the floor. Ki dropped Tanaka with a brainbuster, and then went to the apron and jumped off, trying to hit a double stomp on Tanaka on the floor. Tanaka moved out of the way, and then nailed Ki with a powerbomb into the ring apron. Around the 10 minute mark, both men were back in the ring, and Tanaka set Ki up for a German Suplex. Ki flipped out of it, and nailed a swank kick to the head of Tanaka for a very close 2 count. Ki went up top again, but Tanaka crotched him on the top rope. Tanaka pulled him forward, Ki’s feet still hanging on to the top rope, and nailed a DDT, planting Ki on his head for another close 2 count. As both men got to their feet, Tanaka blocked a Ki kick, and then went for a Roaring Elbow, which Ki ducked, but Tanaka came right back with another, flooring Ki and scoring the 3 count, barely.

Result: Tanaka defeats Low-Ki by pinfall in 12:42. *** (80/71/90)
Post-Match: As both men were still laying on the ground from the intense matchup they just had, Samoa Joe got into the ring. He ran towards the still fallen Low-Ki and nailed a Senton on him, before picking him up, setting him on the top rope, and nailing him with a Muscle Buster. He then drew his attention to Tanaka, and floored him with a running kick to the face. Joe then pulled Tanaka up to the top rope with him, and nailed an Island Driver, jumping off the middle rope. He then picked Tanaka up by his head, looked straight into the camera, and slapped the Kokina Clutch on Tanaka.

Tazz: What a great match from these two. Tanaka barely scores the hard-fought win, only for Samoa Joe to come down here and ruin everything these two just did. I think he knows he has nothing to prove to us.


Qualifying CSW Tag Team Title Match: Doring & Roadkill v Team Canada
Danny Doring and Eric Young started in the ring. Young seemed to be genuinely frightened by Roadkill during the match. Any time he tagged in, Young quickly made the tag to his partner, Petey Williams. Petey took it right to the big man though, matching power with power, and using his speed to gain the advantage. Both teams used great double-team maneuvers as well. A bit of a pier-six brawl broke out when all 4 men ended up in the ring. Roadkill and Young then spilled to the outside, where Roadkill sent Young hard into the post. Young’s arm was dangling as if it could have gotten legitimately injured. Petey nailed Roadkill with a baseball slide dropkick, sending him into the announcers table. Doring nailed Petey in the middle of the ring with a spinebuster as he got up. Doring bounced off the ropes, where Eric Young widly swung a hockey stick up and into the back of Doring’s head. Doring stumbled off the ropes, and Petey grabbed him and nailed the Canadian Destroyer for the win!

Team Canada defeats Doring & Roadkill by pinfall in 8:30. *3/4 (69/57/82)
Post-Match: Petey helped Young to the back, who still looked legitimately hurt and worried as his arm dangled down to his side.

Styles: Impressive teamwork by Team Canada, even if it wasn’t the most noble of circumstances. The real question is Eric Young’s arm. What exactly happened when he ran into that ring post, and what will his status be for Blaze of Glory now that we know it’ll be the Mexicools v Team Canada for the CSW Tag Team Titles?


1st Round Tournament Match: Ken Shamrock v Shelton Benjamin
Shelton Benjamin came out to the ring first, and grabbed the microphone:

Shelton: Triple H, I just want you to know that because of what you did last week to Charlie Haas, he is currently at home spending time with his family, unable to do the thing he loves to do more than anything else: wrestle. Charlie, this match, and the rest of this tournament to crown the first CSW Champion is dedicated to you brother.

Ken Shamrock headed to the ring to a nice reaction from the crowd, seemingly unfazed by Shelton’s dedication. He took it right to Shelton with hard right hands, showing the intensity we hadn’t seen since he last appeared in the WWE. Shamrock immediately went to ground Shelton, and went to work on his knee and ankle. Benjamin managed to escape Shamrock’s attempts, and kept himself distance from the former UFC fighter. Around the 6 minute mark, Shelton knocked Shamrock to the outside, and followed with a suicide dive over the top rope to a huge crowd reaction. Shelton threw him back in the ring, but only got a 2 count. Shelton then went up top and came off with a cross body block for another 2 count. Around the 10 minute mark, Shamrock caught a high kick from Shelton, and spun him around. Shelton tried to kick him with his opposite leg, but Shamrock caught that one as well, and dropped Shelton into the ankle-lock. Luckily for Shelton, he was close to the ropes, and got the break at 12 minutes as the ring announcers told us there were 3 MINUTES LEFT. Shelton reverses a Shamrock whip to the corner and set him up for the T-Bone suplex, but Shamrock elbowed Shelton in the head, and instead hit a belly-to-belly suplex for a 2 count. 2 MINUTES LEFT. Shamrock grabbed Shelton’s leg and lifted him from the mat, standing on one leg. He then hit a vicious dragon-screw leg whip, and kept hold of the ankle, right in to the ankle-lock. Shelton was right in the middle of the ring, and couldn’t reach the ropes. 1 MINUTE LEFT. Shamrock wrenched on the ankle as Shelton bit into his own hand to fight the pain. With one last gasp, Shelton flung his leg forward, sending Shamrock over head and into a pinning predicament for the 3 count!

Shelton Benjamin defeats Ken Shamrock by pinfall in 14:28. ***1/4 (83/81/85)
Post-Match: Shamrock looked upset, but shook Shelton’s hand, congratulating him on a tough victory. Shamrock lifted Shelton’s hand in the air and pointed to him as the crowd echoed his sentiment.

Tazz: What a match, and what a victory for Shelton Benjamin. I’m officially making him my pick to go the distance and bring home the CSW Championship at Blaze of Glory!

Wow, I really loving this. The GenNext guys versus the old ECW veterans is a great idea and I love your use of Joe so far. As Rowe said, the banners are awesome and make this look really professional. Good work abounding.
