WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
ROUND 1
MATCH 1: THE RAVEN VS METEOR
This match bagan oddly with Raven taking the
microphone and started speaking about his troubled past and how everybody
would pay for making him what he is today. As soon as the bell rang Raven
viciously attacked Meteor with a wide variety of high-impact maneuvers
including almost getting the win with a devastating powerbomb. Meteor fought
back with a string of high-flying moves but missed his 450 Meteor Splash
finisher and fell victim to Raven's Even Flow high-impact DDT scoring him
the win and continuing on to the round 2.
MATCH 2: HEAVY-D VS SLAYER
This match also bagan oddly as after Heavy-D
made his entrance and Slayer's intro music started to play but he didn't
come through the entrance way. Everyone though he'd be a no-show, but he
appearred out from under the ring behind Heavy-D suprising everybody! With
the 400-pounder still looking the other way, Slayer climbed the top rope
then hit Heavy-D with a devastating top-rope bulldog immediately covering
the big man for the win and continuing on!
MATCH 3: SKY HIGH VS JEREMY CREED
The night of wild match openings continued as
Creed attacked Sky High from behind as he made his entrance to the ring.
Creed blasted Sky with a steele chair a few times before tossing him into
the ring and officially starting the match. Creed worked over Sky with
slams and a variety of suplexes. The turning point came countered a backdrop
into a DDT. Getting a second wind, Sky came back with a powerful offensive
including a devastating backdrop out of the ring, sending Creed crashing
into the guardrail. Sky then did an amazing plancha onto Creed as he tried
to enter the ring. Sky was about to finish off his opponent when suddenly
Jean B'Stard came down to ring side and distracted Sky. Creed capitalized
on the distraction and delivered his fisherman's buster suplex to steal
the win.
MATCH 4: BIG DADDY PAYNE VS AMERICAN GLADIATOR
An excellent match where both men traded hold
for hold and blow for blow. The match seemed to go either way until Diamond
Dog, Payne's compatriot showed up to try and help steal one. His interference
however caused Big Daddy to get disqualified. This lead to Payne and Dog
beating down Gladiator with Diamond Dog delivering several Diamond Cutters
before Payne locked on the Payne Killer arm lock.Gladiator had to be helped
from the ring with the question of wheather he could continue the next
round looming in the heads of everyone.
