We’re in the usual skybox, with Todd Grisham welcoming us to the Pre-Show! TG: It’s that time again…Pre-Show time! We’re in the gradually filling United Center for the last PPV before Birth of Destruction VII, Colleseum! I’m here in a Skybox with three men that’ll help me set the stage for every match on the Colleseum card! So ladies and gentlemen, our panel! First off he is the current GM of Collision and this will be his first PPV in that position, Jonathan Coachman! Coach waves to the camera. TG: And we’ve got a commentator for the event, Michael Cole along for the Pre-Show! Coach nods as Grisham introduces him, smiling. TG: And we have the manager for Bill Goldberg and Dolph Ziggler, Triple H along too. HHH doesn’t really show much recognition to the calling of his name, choosing to concentrate on chewing his gum instead. TG: But we’re going to make you wait a little longer for the first bit of action, tonight. We’re going to go back to our last PPV, Nowhere to Run. The PPV starts with a cracking match with Dolph Ziggler defeating Daniel Bryan. We actually don’t see a great deal of the Deathmatch, with it being very violent but with Drake Younger coming out on top. Then, the big fight feel came back for The Invasion v nWo match with Jr. as the guest referee, with the main points of the match shown with a win for the nWo and a loss for The British Invasion. After that, the Goldberg vs Vader highlights are shown with Mr. Kennedy being the guest referee and very much sticking it to Hogan after the match. Immediately after we see The Shield dominate the group formerly known as The Wolfpack, sweeping the board with them. The Cage of Death then lowers ominously, and Jeff Hardy somehow beats HBK in the horrid structure. Then, amid controversy, the longest Universal Champion in history Cody Rhodes managed to prise his title back from Shane Douglas. We go back to the skybox with the image of Cody lifting the title up high. TG: It was an unforgettable show that’s for sure, Coach, what did you enjoy the most out of that? JC: Well, I’ve got to say there was some brutality and I loved it, Cage of Death, the Deathmatch. Brutal. TG: It was certainly, how about you Michael? Cole: The nWo finally putting The Invasion was a moment to be savoured, despite not many people backing them to win I was so glad to see them shut the brits up for a while. TG: Careful, Cole, don’t want you to be attacked by them…Triple H? HHH: I thought it was funny seeing Dolph Ziggler beat Daniel Bryan up and pin him for the one…two…three. TG:…Right. Well, first things first we’re going straight to Mick Foley’s office to… All of a sudden, we see the scene cut to William Regal. He is sat in Invasion HQ with a cigarette and a beer, we zoom out and see Wade Barrett, Brutus Magnus, Adrian Neville and Douglas Williams are flanking him. WR: People are asking questions. Why? Why oh why? Why’ve I asked Cesaro to aid us. Why do you think? After that masked assailant struck with a double knee to Magnus, you need more back up…and desperate times call for desperate measures… We then see Cesaro come forward and join the group. Boos are very heavy now towards one of the most hated man in HCW's history. Cesaro: It sure has been some time... I will say that I surely didn't miss that American bad attitude... Heavier boos. Cesaro: You wanna have answers to your questions? Well... You ain't deserving of these answers... But I will still enlighten you, poor people from Chicago! Boos are defeaning... Cesaro: You see... The reason why me, Christian and Jericho left the company is because management so badly wanted Christian to face his brother several months ago. We tried to arrange things with management but they wouldn't budge... So, we've decided to leave. We decided that competing was no longer the thing we wanted to do. So, we went our own ways and we did some acting gigs and other jobs... And then, I've received the call from Mr. Regal. He basically told me that his group needed a shot in the arm to finally annihilate the NWO. They had tried to talk to Christian and Chris about joining them but they both refused and referred to me as the guy they need. Hence the call... I wasn't sure at first. I had no intentions of returning to this rotten company... I was happy doing what I was doing. Regal was understanding and gave me some time to think it over. One night, I was watching TV and I ended up switching inadvertently to Fusion. And I saw the sight of John Cena... Mixed reaction from Chicago's fans. Cesaro: Basically, that sight made me wanting to puke and reminded why I hated John Cena and the NWO so much back in the days... So, I then called Regal back and told him that I would show up at a time where they won't see it coming... Hence what happened at the end of Fusion... So here I am... I'm back... And it so happens to be the time where Colleseum is around the corner... I think this Battle Royal wouldn't be complete without the man who won it last year, am I right, William? WR: Exactly, exactly. We've got this appointment right, I know that. The strongest pound for pound man in HCW will be here to definitely make sure that an Invasion member gets to the main event for Bound for Glory. Simple. Suddenly, the NWO's theme is heard and all four members of the group step on the ramp, all staring at the Titan Tron. WR: Not hiding behind your staff buddies this week, lads? Cena: Let me tell you something, William. Whoever in our group goes into the Battle Royal... We will make sure to take those smug smiles out of your faces. Especially, you, Tony. I owe you an Attitude Adjustment, you know? Cesaro: Oh god! The Angry Cena wants a piece of me... If you do get in the Battle Royal, good luck doing it... Suddenly, Hogan's theme is heard and Hogan quickly gets to the ramp, mic in hand. Hogan: Cesaro... That was one despicable action you did last Fusion. One that needs to be punished... But don't worry, you will still compete in the Battle Royal... But to defend your win of last year... You'll have to start that as the number one entrant! Crowd cheers as Regal doesn't look to pleased. Cesaro doesn't react, though. Cesaro: I don't mind that... I proved last year that starting with a low number can still lead to success. Hogan goes to respond but Cena is whispering something in his ear. We can hear that Hogan doesn't love Cena's idea but Cena is too convincing at the end. Hogan: Cesaro... John just requested me something... If somehow, he loses the Synergy Tag Team Title match... He will be entrant number two! Cesaro just smiles as Cena gets excited. Hogan: And if you win the titles, Cena, Seth Rollins will then take your spot! The crowd gives a good reaction as we go back to the guys up top. TG: Ok, we’re back. We apologise for that, that’s just The Invasion doing as they please as usual. Now, as you can see Coach has disappeared off temporarly, and I can tell you why. At various points tonight we’ll be visiting Mick Foley’s office where I understand Hulk, Mick and Coach will be present to supervise all superstars in the Battle Royal drawing their number, so we can go there right now! We go to Foley's office, where Coach, Foley and Hogan are sitting close to the big abacus where all the numbers (Outside of number one and two, who were given early on in the show.) We pan out though and see close to Hogan is Jr, who Hogan looks rather annoyed at being there. We first see all four members of the NWO coming inside. They have a good hug with Hogan and Foley and exchange a few kind words with Coach and Jr, before Bret, Show and Rock go pick their numbers. Cena stays behind. Bret is the first to draw his number and we do see a slight smile on his face as he gives it to Coach. Rock then draws his number and he raises the People's Eyebrow to the number he sees before giving the paper to Coach. Finally, Show picks his number and after seeing it, gives it to the Collision's GM. Hogan: Rock, Cena, if you win the Synergy Tag Team Titles... Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins take your spots in the Battle Royal. Good luck out there, guys! The NWO leaves the room as we go back to the guys up top. TG: Well there’s the first few out the way, The Mean Girls adding more fuel to the lawsuit fire with what seemed like poor draws there. Now it’s time for our first match of the Pre-Show! Let’s see Homicide vs Jimmy Jacobs, Battle Royal spot on the line! The two men make their entrances and are in the ring waiting on the match to start. Both men have been considered under dogs for most of their HCW careers due to their smaller stature, both men very dangerous in their own right. Both have shown that they can compete with anyone but their win loss record hasn’t always reflected this. A win in this match and strong showing in the battle royal could propel both of these wrestlers careers to new and exciting heights. The intensity and desire to win is seen in the two competitors eyes. The ref calls for the bell and this match is under way. They lockup and Homicide sends Jacobs into the ropes and goes for a big clothesline but Jacobs ducks it and hits Homicide with a big round house kick. Jacobs then begins to buld momentum hitting a couple big kicks, then sends Homicide to the ropes and goes for a big drop kick but misses it and Homicide takes advantage of the miscue and it’s a big ace crusher on Jacobs. Charles Robinson: ONE.. TWO.. TH… Jacobs kicks out at the absolute last second. Homicide is looking frustrated and begins kicking Jacobs not allowing him to get up. Homicide then locks Jacobs into a chokehold and it looks like Jacobs is fading out but after a few seconds finally reaches the ropes to break the hold. Homicide continues kicking Jacobs trying to keep him on the ground and remain in control of this match. Homicide then goes up to the top rope and goes for a missile drop kick but Jacobs moves out of the way. Once Homicide recovers Jacobs grabs him and goes for sliced bread #2 but Homcide blocks it and sends Jacobs into the corner hard. Homicide then hits a big brain buster on Jacobs and pins him in the middle of the ring. Charles Robinson: ONE.. TWO.. THR... Once again Jacobs kicks out at the last second Homicide s clearly frustrated and begins arguing with the ref allowing Jacobs to regain some of his composure. Homicide then picks up Jacobs and goes for a big kick to the head of Jacobs but Jacobs blocks it and attempts to send Homicide into the ropes but Homicide reverses it and hits a big back drop on Jacobs. Homicide yet again goes for the pin.. Charles Robinson: ONE.. TWO.. THRE… Just as Robinsons hand is coming down for the three cobs kicks out. At this point Homicide has lost all control of his emotions and looks extremely pi55ed and continues arguing with the ref. While Homicide is arguing with the ref Jacobs rolls out of the ring and tries to regain his composure but he is clearly hurting. Homicide rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope and grabs a tire iron form under the ring and begins choking out with it and sends him head first into the ring post. Jacobs is busted open from this vicious attack and is bleeding horribly. Homicide then rolls Jacobs into the ring and goes for another Ace Crusher to end the match but Jacobs blocks it and hits a big dropkick out of nowhere. Jacobs continues trying to build some offense but at this point is nowhere near 100 percent and has lost a large amount of blood. Jacobs continues building his offence until Homicide reverses and irish whip and kicks Jacobs in the midsection and hits Powerbomb out of nowhere. Jacobs is out cold but instead of going for the pin Homicide picks up Jacobs and goes for another Ace Crusher which Jacobs reverses into a small package.. Charles Robinson: ONE.. TWO.. Homicide kicks out rather easily but is getting furious that Jacobs is still fighting back. Homicide sends Jacobs into the corner and goes for a spear in the corner but Jacobs moves out of the way and Homicide crashes into the turnbuckle hard with his shoulder. Homicide then turns around right into an arm lock leg sweep ddt. Jacobs is starting to build some momentum and hits some big kicks on Homicide. Homicide then reverses and irish whip and goes for a vertical suplex that Jacobs blocks and out of nowhere Jacobs hits his Barry Driver on Homicide in the middle of the ring. But Jacobs is unable to make the cover as he has lost a lot of blood. As a result both men are out cold in the middle of the ring. The ref begins making the ten count but when he gets to six, Jacobs crawls and places his arm across Homicide’s chest.. Charles Robinson: ONE.. TWO.. THREE.. [center]Jimmy Jacobs pinned Homicide with the Barry White Driver in 0:22:59. Rating: *** ¾[/center] Tenay: What a match to kick off Colleseum, and this is only the pre-show. Imagine how good the rest of the show will be. JBL: I tell you what Mike. That was a bogus match, Charles Robinson should of stopped it when Jacobs was busted open. Homicide was cheated. Tenay: Are you crazy? Jimmy Jacobs took everything Homicide could dish out and still came out on top. The kid deserved that win. Hopefully he isn’t too injured to compete in the spot that he just earned into the Battle Royal later. We will keep everyone updated on his condition as the show goes on. We go back up to the skybox. #Post#: 7614-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 5:55 pm --------------------------------------------------------- TG: Cracking start, congratulations to Jimmy Jacobs who’s just started winning at the right time, but now we go to our first preview. This was set up by Coach here for the CDM Title early on and stems back to a brutal match at the Nowhere to Run PPV. Let’s take a look. Our package opens with the last stage of the Deathmatch at Nowhere to Run.

JBL: The fans in Pittsburgh have loved this match, Michael. And that is all that matters... Lawler: The people who loved this match must be a little crazy in their head... [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7283#msg7283 date=1415414416] JC: Now, I hear Edge doesn’t seem best pleased with Kofi Kingston as of late. Kofi has a choice as to whether he wants to use his rematch for the CDM Title or not. I want to know this before I announce the card for next week, but before this, Kofi has a match against the afore mentioned Rated R Superstar. I’m not going to let up on Kofi’s brutal week though, as he’s going to face Edge in a match where Steel Chairs will be legal! There’s a small alternating Kofi/Edge chants. [/quote] [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg7288#msg7288 date=1415489546] Edge sees his match and gets an evil grin. Edge: I see Coachman hasn't forgotten my skill set. Kofi, this chairs match is very bad for you. I can hear the symphony of steel crashing against your face. Kofi, I think I will play a con-chair to just for you. [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7314#msg7314 date=1415905279] [center]Chairs Match Edge v Kofi Kingston[/center] Edge looked happier than we’ve seen him for a while, as he walked to the ring and passed the full row of 10 chairs ready for use on the ramp. A pretty beat up Kofi Kingston made a less energetic than usual way to the ring, choosing not to look at the chairs on the way by. The match began mostly with Kofi doing nearly anything to prevent Edge going outside to retrieve the chairs. He even managed to hit an SOS, but you could tell it was a rushed one with not much thought as he barely nailed it and Edge got out pretty quickly at 2. Eventually though, Edge got the advantage with an Edge-o-Matic and quickly slid out the ring in the direction of the row of chairs parked not too far from the ring. He picked one up but as he did that Kofi had sprung out the ring toward Edge with a Springboard Cross Body but Edge just swung the chair and Kofi hit the hard floor. Edge gave Kofi a few body shots with the chair before discarding it and picking up a new chair and putting it in the ring. When Kofi came back in, he was greeted with a Steel Chair shot to the Skull, no messing on from Edge. Eventually though, Kofi came back. He even went to get a chair and hit a flapjack on to the chair while it was seated. While Edge was down, Kofi placed the chair on Edge, ran the ropes and hit a Boom Drop for two. Kofi seemed to get another idea and went outside to grab a third steel chair and as Edge got up, Kofi threw the chair at Edge who caught it and went for Trouble in Paradise but Edge ducked down, threw the chair down and nailed an Edgecution on the chair! The near enough academic three count didn’t happen as Kofi kicked out! This just angered Edge who went into the corner and measured for The Spear! He nailed it too, and managed to pick up the three count! Winner: Edge via Spear at 17:32 Match Rating: ****1/4 [/quote] [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg7316#msg7316 date=1415926217] [i]Todd Grisham catches up to Edge in the hall. Todd: Edge, if you could give us a word. Edge grins then nods. Edge: What'd would you like to know? I mean, No, there wasn't a concherto. Turns out, we didn't need one. Kofi will hopefully have learned to not interfere in my matches in the future. [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7361#msg7361 date=1416555974] JC: So, a lot of you might be wondering why Edge is still in my office watching me announce the card…simple. Edge has been impressive lately and as you know I’ve granted him a way into the CDM Title picture. The way he gets a number one contenders spot? Well he’ll face the Champion in another chairs match. If he wins, then he’s going to Colleseum as part of the CDM Championship match…it’ll be a Triple Threat match, of course. [/quote] [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg7386#msg7386 date=1416792393] Edge grins after the announcement of the chairs rematch. Edge: Maybe I will get to do that conchairto after all... [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7408#msg7408 date=1416906891] [center]Chairs Match – Non Title, if Edge wins the CDM Title Match at Colleseum is a Triple Threat Edge v Drake Younger[/center] Edge came out first to a good reaction. Younger came in afterwards, to a good yet a little quiet reaction from the fans. The announcers expressed how big this match is for both men as Edge wants in the CDM Title match and Drake don't want to see the match become a triple threat. Early on, the action was inside the ring as Younger tried to out-wrestle the veteran and former CDM Champion... It wasn't a rousing success so Younger brought the fight to Edge, who gladly answered with shots of his own. A mistake would allow Drake to bring several chairs inside the ring. He then hit a vicious shot to the head, causing Edge to bleed. Younger then tried to punish Edge by hitting several moves into the sea of chairs but the Canadian showed his legendary resiliency. Edge fought back, using the chair to inflict damage to the champion. A powerbomb into the chair nearly got the win for Edge but the action spilled again on the outside, where Younger took control, hitting a moonsault that broke the announcing table. He then brought the action back inside and goes up top before hitting a Frog Splash for a near fall. He then hits a Northern Lights Suplex for another near fall. Drake started to get frustrated but a intended chair shot to Edge missed the mark. Edge then ran into the ropes for the Spear but Younger ducked and the poor ref got taken out. Younger used it to catch Edge by surprise with Drake's Landing but since there was no ref, no count. Younger then decided to roll Edge on his back and place a chair under his head. Drake was thinking of hitting Edge's own Con-Chair-To but as he swung the chair back, Edge quickly got up and caught the champ with the Impaler DDT right on the chair. As the ref started to finally come to his senses, Edge went for the Spear but Younger ducked again. Drake then tried for the Backdrop Driver but Edge pushed him into the ropes. Younger went for a clothesline but Edge ducked and with the momentum of the ropes, he catches Drake with a thunderous Spear for the win and a spot in the CDM Title Match! [center]Winner: Edge at 20:39 Match Rating: ****[/center] Cole: It now means that the CDM Title match is now a triple threat! JBL: Edge has pinned both him and Kofi in the last two shows. We are maybe looking at the new champion! Tenay: This was an outstanding match, gentlemen! Cole: Indeed. Everyone in the crowd is pretty happy it seems. Anyway, we'll be back with more action after a short break. [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7441#msg7441 date=1417258995] We see The Coach in the ring. JC: I’ve got a few things to go over, the first of which concerns the Crimson Deathmatch Title…as you all know, Edge won a match last week to qualify for a CDM Title match, making it a Triple Threat match. So what sort of match will it be? Well, this will be an innovative match that I know hasn’t been done before. It’ll be a Triple Threat Elimination match, with a couple of very special twists. To start off with, it’ll be a tables match. Whoever goes through the table is then eliminated from the match which leaves two men, who will contest a Ladder match with the CDM Title hanging high above the ring! The crowd like it… [/quote] We then see highlights of the six man tag match involving all three men in this match. [quote author=Leighton_K9 link=topic=6.msg7298#msg7298 date=1415656541] *The camera shows Drake laying at the Recovery room. He see's the camera, waves them over an reaches for his newly won CDM Championship.* Younger: Come on in guys, come on in. *Matt Striker walks in* MS: So Drake, how are you feeling after your match at NoWhere to Run? Younger: I'm feeling on top of the world. I just became the CDM Champion just like I said I would Matt. MS: Congrats on that! Do you think Kofi will cash in that rematch? Younger: Well Matt, Kofi is one hell of a competitor and I'm sure he wants this back, so yes I'm sure he will. Now weather or not he'll win is a whole different story because I'm not losing this title to anybody. I'm the King of DeathMatch and anyone who steps in the ring with me will find that out. MS: Thanks for your time all talk to you when your all healed up. [/quote] [quote author=JamesPerfitt link=topic=6.msg7606#msg7606 date=1418841723] Kofi and sin cara have seen the card for collesum Kofi : Drake and edge, you both might want to prepare for the battle royal rather than our title match. You both know that you stand more of a chance in the battle royal. Neither of you will stand tall, both of you are going to fall. You will both be in trouble, at it will be in Paradise. Sin cara and Kofi : We got the whole world in our hands . [/quote] The package then ends with various clips of Younger beating people like Morgan, Ziggler, Kingston and Batista, Edge with the CDM Title, then finally Kingston with the title before we go to the skybox. TG: Well, not a great deal of talking there but I’m sure these men will make up for it in the ring. Let’s for the first time tonight go to the analysis part, first off, Triple H. Who do you think all the match with it's couple of different stipulations and elimination format suits most? HHH: Edge. Since it involves tables and ladders... It's right down his alley. It will be for Younger and Kofi to prove me wrong. TG: Alright, Coach, as the Collision GM, you made this match a Triple Threat, stacking the deck against Drake Younger. Why was this? JC: Well I couldn’t ignore Kofi’s rematch clause, a problem with Kofi would be a problem with the disciples and nobody wants that. However, you can’t ignore Edge with his form and the history he has with the title. No complains from Younger and Kingston, they must like the challenge. TG: Ok Coach, Michael, you know for a fact that no man goes into a match in a HCW ring at 100%, but who is the closest to this? Cole: Younger is used to taking punishment, where as Kofi perhaps isn’t, and he has been in a couple of brutal matches. Edge, who’s won two chairs match has just been in Singles matches, so he is as close as you can be to 100%. TG: Ok, predictions time. Coach? JC: Edge for me. He’s a strong favourite. TG: Do you agree Hunter? HHH: Edge is definitely my pick, Todd. TG: And Cole. Cole: I don’t think Kofi stands much chance, despite a nice victory over Steiner on Collision. The pressure of being favourite might get to Edge, I’ll go for Younger. TG: Ok guys, cheers. Now we’re going to go to Renee Young, where she is joined by Edge. Renee? We go to the interview green screen with Renee Young smiling at the camera. #Post#: 7615-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:06 pm --------------------------------------------------------- RY: My guest at this time, one of the competitors in the CDM title match, the Rated-R Superstar, Edge! Edge: Why, Hello Renee. Crowd gives a good reaction to Edge arriving to the spot. RY: Edge, you are competing in a triple threat elimination match for the title tonight. With you pinning Kofi and Younger in consecutive weeks, would it be normal to consider you the favorite? Edge: You could say that. But I am not stupid enough to be overconfident either. I have been around the block a time or two. I was the original Crimson Deathmatch Champion and will be again tonight. RY: Also, with the first fall being a table match and the second being a ladder, do you feel that your experience could be a tipping point in this upcoming contest? Edge: Have you ever seen a TLC match? Tables, ladders, they are my playground. RY: Understood... One last question. If you lose this title match, you will still be competing in the Battle Royal. What would be your thoughts going in to that match if you do compete in it? Edge: I am the ultimate opportunist Renee, what will be going though my mind is to be keeping my eyes open for the opportunity that sends me to the grandest stage of them all to face the Universal Champion. f course, I don't see my self in the battle royal. I will be wearing a new title around my waist tonight. RY: Good luck tonight and thanks for taking the time. Edge nods and walks off toward his locker room. RY: Back to you, guys! TG: Edge looks ready! Now as you can see Coach has left to join Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan just round the corner in Foley’s office. Let’s go there now: We return to the room where the number entry drawing is going on. Up next... The NWO's major rivals, the British Invasion. Of course, Regal is with them and we have a lot of tension inside the room. Nothing is said, though, as Barrett, Williams, Magnus and Neville draw their numbers, show them to Regal and then give them to Coach. We have a staredown between Regal and the two honourary members of the NWO as the group leaves. As soon as they do, the Mean Girls, flanked by Kane, arrives to the room. They of course throw a smug face at Hogan while they each go for a number. Both don't look too happy about their numbers. Torrie: Are you sure this isn't rigged? That wouldn't surprise us... Coach: Please give me your numbers, ladies! The ladies aren't happy but they finally give the numbers and they quickly leave the room. Hogan tries to take a look but Jr makes sure Coach keeps hold of them. We go back to the guys up top. TG: Well, those Mean Girls adding more fuel to the fire with their continuing issues with Hulk Hogan… Coach retakes his seat. TG: How was that Coach? JC: Uncomfortable. Could feel the tension on both occasions. TG: Not surprising, now we go to The Global Title scene though, and the title over the past few months has gone from Vader to Goldberg and back to Vader again. This will be the last encounter for that title, in a Last Man Standing match. Let’s take a look. The package begins with all the falls from the previous three matches between the two, before we see Goldberg a bit annoyed. [quote author=The Judge link=topic=6.msg7317#msg7317 date=1415948874] (Meanwhile at Fusion, Goldberg is seen walking backstage visibly angry, Striker walks up and tries to speak to him) Ms: can I have a quick word? Goldberg: I have nothing to say.. If you have any questions see my manager.. Ms: But I just need one quick word.. (Goldberg turns around and pushes Striker up against the wall) Goldberg: I said I have nothing to say good bye..

You see, Bill Goldberg is maybe on a little losing streak but he will get one last chance at the Global Title at Colleseum against Vader. And it will be the last match between these two powerhouses. So, to finally clarify who's the best between these two, I have decided that their match at Colleseum will be a Last Man Standing Match! The crowd gives it a small positive reaction because both men aren't quite liked these days. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7427#msg7427 date=1417066441] Heenan: I'm not going to keep wasting my breath on a new guy like you. Vader has bigger fish to fry. The dumb fish named Goldberg is the fish to fry. (Heenan sighs) I am not shocked that Hogan decided to put Vader in a last man standing match. It seems that Hogan understands the brutality that Vader can put people through and he clearly wants to see Goldberg suffer just like he did at the hands of Vader. While many may be shocked that I'm not upset at this announcement, I am actually very excited. Vader loves last man standing matches mainly because he is always the one to be left standing. He isn't afraid to go to war once more with Goldberg. Vader knows the risks. He knows the level of violence which will unfold in front of millions of people. With all of that, he still knows how to be the last man standing! He is the most vicious, unforgiving monster in HCW and Goldberg will bear witness to that. All will bear witness to Vader's destruction yet again! Vader will remain Global champion as always and be the last man standing! Vader: Goldberg, YOU'RE NEXT! IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME! IT'S VADER TIME! [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7486#msg7486 date=1417807291] Hunter arrives at Goldberg's room. HHH: I know things have been rough lately but Cody Rhodes used to lose all of his non-title matches when he had that major title run as Universal Champ... But how do we remember him? People will only look at your next fight to judge you. Go out there and beat the cr@p out of Williams so that you send a strong message to the man holding your Global Championship! [/quote] [quote author=The Judge link=topic=6.msg7488#msg7488 date=1417838956] Goldberg: Thanks for the pep talk.. This should be a fun treat I've been wanting a piece of those invasion clowns. I know my head hasn't been in the my recent matches Ive been too focused on gettin my hands on Vader. I gotta focus tonight. Oh and Vader if you're watching this go ahead and polish my Global title up and make it nice and shiny because next weekend I take back what's mine.. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7608#msg7608 date=1418852603] (Heenan and Vader are backstage. Heenan is pacing back and forth as Vader stands resolute) Heenan: You know what I think when I think of Goldberg? Overrated, inadequate, roid rage, pathetic, dumb, white trash, and so much more! I say all those thing because they are true. He is a fluke. His attack on Vader this past week was hardly noteworthy. Yeah, maybe he laid a little pain on Vader, but so what? Any person in the world can get a jump on an unsuspecting individual. Goldberg tried to prove a point and he failed. At Colleseum, it doesn't matter what Goldberg has done in the past. What matters is what the two men in the ring do to each other. When the situation comes to that, the clear outcome is Vader remains champion! Vader has been on a roll ever since taking back his title and his roll will continue. We have proven that if the Hogan never was involved in that Hell in a Cell all those days ago then Vader would still be champion because Goldberg did not deserve it. This is the story of Goldberg's career. He hasn't deserved anything. He gets a few wins here and there, but he is nothing but a hype machine. He pumps everyone up only to let everyone down. He is the Johnny Manziel of wrestling. All hype, no result. You see Vader is a proven warrior. He has destroyed. He has conquered. He is a deserving champion because of all that. Vader, week in and week out, proves that he is the Global Champion for a reason. He proves why he is the Mastodon of HCW! Nobody can touch the podium he is on. Few can catch a glimpse of what lies on the podium, but Vader will only step on their hands for them to fall back down. The facts are here. I am the Brain and he is the Mastodon and together, nothing can stop us from reaching any goal. Vader is a wrecking ball which swings back and forth constantly destroying everything before it. If I were you Goldberg, I would not be in the way, but I guess its too late for that. Vader is angry. He is tired of you constantly trying to prove that your on the same level as him. He knows that you're not! Nobody is! The Universal Champion isn't even on the same level and the only reason why Vader hasn't gotten that title is that he is too busy proving why he is the best Global Champion in history! You're going to get hurt, Goldberg. It's the reality that you'll face soon enough! As for you Triple H, you may be "The Game" and "The Cerebral Assassin", but I do not care. You do not have the plans that I do. I'm always steps ahead. I've been steps ahead from the very start of Vader's feud with Goldberg! You may always have a plan B, but I have plans that go through the entire alphabet beyond. There's always a plan and Vader's victory lies at the end of every plan! At Collesseum, Vader is going to remain Global Champion. He is to show why he is the Mastodon of HCW! Vader: IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME! IT'S VADER TIME! GOLDBERG, YOU'RE NEXT! [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg7605#msg7605 date=1418836511] Singles Match Bill Goldberg (W/HHH) vs Jimmy Jacobs Goldberg brought back the action inside, where Jacobs fought back with some aerial moves but Goldberg regained control by catching a flying crossbody attempt and hitting a fallaway slam. He looked ready to finish this... But suddenly, Vader and Heenan came at ringside. Hunter has words with Heenan, which forces the ref to focus on the two. While it was happening, Goldberg, who was focused on Jacobs, who was trying to get up, got hit with a right hand to the back of the head. We only see after the shot is given that Vader had brass knuckles on his hand. Goldberg seems out cold. Jacobs gets up and sees the opportunity. He slowly picks Goldberg up and then hits the Devil Lock DDT. The ref finally focuses back on the action as Jacobs was making the cover... For the three count and his first win! Winner: Jimmy Jacobs at 7:18 Match Rating: *1/4 Cole: Jimmy Jacobs has won his first match in HCW... But not with some controversy... JBL: Just the Global Champion sending a strong message to his Colleseum opponent. Tenay: I'm sure Jacobs will take the win, I just am sure that he would have preferred a better way to win his first match. Cole: And look at Hunter! He is besides himself! Heenan and Vader are sure proud of what they did. We'll go to a commercial break. The Global Champion is in action up next. [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg7605#msg7605 date=1418836511] Non-Title Match Homicide vs Vader Every time Homicide tried to add to his momentum, Vader crushed it with a power move. Homicide then tried to catch Vader off guard with the 187 Cutter, but Vader pushes him away. He then crushes him with a vicious lariat. He then tried for his dangerous powerbomb but Homicide countered it beautifully into a frankensteiner and a very near fall. Homicide then tried Da Gringo Killa... But Vader was too big and he countered it by hitting a vicious powerbomb for the three count and the win. Winner: Vader at 18:29 Match Rating: *** JBL: Another win for Vader... And he isn't done yet! Cole: He's dragging Homicide into the Corner... Is he going for the Vader Bomb? Tenay: Homicide is almost motionless... But before Vader can climb the ropes, the crowd pops... Vader turns around... Cole: WHAT A SPEAR BY GOLDBERG! Tenay: Listen to this crowd! Normally, they don't like him... But they surely prefer him to Vader, now. Goldberg roars before looking at Heenan. He then picks Vader up... In position... And then hits a thunderous Jackhammer! Cole: How strong is this guy? JBL: I'm positive that Vader will be very angry after tonight. Tenay: What goes around always comes back around, John. Cole: We'll be back with another match after a quick break. Stay with us! [/quote] The package ends with both men hitting their finishers and then staring at each other in the ring. TG: A behemoth clash that’s for sure. Panel time, first off Michael, who does The Last Man Standing stipulation favour? Cole: Could not tell you, both men are strong, both are vicious…it seems impossible to me to see either of them down for a count of ten apiece, even the managers cancel each other house. HHH glares at Cole at this point. Cole: However, I look at the two big moves for both men…Vader Bomb and Chokeslam for Vader…Spear and Jackhammer for Goldberg? I’ve got to choose Goldberg for that reason. TG: Fair enough, Triple H, can you flat out guarantee that you won't get physically involved in this match? HHH: I will only get physically involved on Heenan's a$$ if he gets involved. But I think it will be between the two monsters that will collide tonight, And not about the managers. TG: They’ve had three encounters in the past: the first was a cell match where the ending was somewhat marred by Hulk Hogan. Then on an episode of Fusion, Mr. Kennedy, who shouldn’t of even been in the building, caused a no contest. This was followed by a match at the last PPV, which Vader won, but the attention was still on Kennedy. Coach, are you happy that we can finally focus on the two individuals alone? JC: Yeah, it’s been a long time coming. Finally, especially with Triple H’s guarantee that he’ll behave himself we can concentrate on the two individuals in the ring and honestly there’s no way I’d rather have it. TG: Ok Coach, predicition? JC: I can see both men battling it out so much that they could incapacitate one another for the full ten count…so I’ll go for a draw. TG: Interesting, Triple H, I am guessing you're choosing Bill Goldberg to be the last man standing? HHH: That's the case. Look, I respect what Vader has done and I don't expect him to be an easy challenge for Bill to overcome. But Goldberg has used the last few days to prepare like he has never prepared before. Vader will have to kill him to keep him down for the ten count! TG: And you Michael? Cole: Sorry, Hunter…Vader for me. HHH scowls at Cole but doesn’t take any other action. TG: Thanks guys, now though we’re going to pay Matt Striker a visit. Matt, who’ve you got? We go to Striker. #Post#: 7616-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:08 pm --------------------------------------------------------- MS: Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time... The New World Order! The Chicago's crowd gives a good pop to the entire group, who all goes on the side of Striker. MS: First, I wanna talk to Show and Bret. Guys, you two are already assured of a spot in the Battle Royal. Any thoughts before this match? Bret: It is one of the most fun matches these fans can see... And it makes the winner's career go up... This is the place where old feuds enter a new stage and where new rivalries can be created. It's a match that you just can't prepare for... You dunno when the other guys will enter the match so it's all about instincts. It's all about trying to avoid being close from the ropes at all times. Show: And for me, it's pretty simple. I'm seven-foot tall and I weigh almost five hundred pounds. Good luck for any man to throw me over the top rope. I'm going to throw people out left and right... MS: And what happens if you try to eliminate any of the other members of the NWO? Bret: Matt, we're maybe a family out there... But we are all competitors. We all want to win and Show's will understand if for exemple, I get to eliminate Show... Show: Which obviously won't happen... Bret stares at Show for a second. Bret: Anyway, we will all gun for that title shot at Birth of Destruction... It is the goal of every single wrestler out there. MS: Now, I wanna talk to Rock and Cena, any last words on the Synergy Tag Team Title Match you have tonight? Cena: Matt, it's going to be electric tonight! Two of the most iconic Superstars in HCW will collide with a dangerous duo of young studs who are making quite an impact. We collided with them on Fusion and it was already a great battle. They maybe won it that night, but this time, we are fighting for the Tag Team Titles and there is no way... Rock: And The Rock MEANS nooo wayyyy! Cena: That we are losing this time. Seth and Roman, this will be the biggest match of your careers... Rock: And The Rock guarantees you this, me and John will bring you their absolute best because we know we will need to. You are definitely good... My cousin has the same blood than I have and Seth is a very smart and athletic young man... But as good as you are, we're simply better! MS: One last question... Recently, the group has had plenty of issues with different people or stables. Will it play a part in the Battle Royal? Cena: Well, if somehow, me and Rock loses our title match, we very well know that we'll have a target on our backs. Whether it's the Mean Girls... The Shield... Even our former member, the Undertaker and his disciples... Or most importantly the British Invasion... We'll be ready for all of them. Show: To all of those people, if they think they can target us, they better be ready for a war out there. Bret: Because we ain't backing down from anyone, whether they are friends or foes... Rock: The NWO will rise like we've always risen out there... Cena: And if I get my hands on that bald-headed Swiss bastard, believe me... He is getting a beating the Chicago fans will love for every second that it will go on. MS: Thanks for the time, guys, Good luck, tonight! All: Thanks, Matt! MS: Guys, back to you. Everyone bar Triple H looks quite impressed with that. TG: nWo seem ready for tonight that’s for sure. Another preview gents, I think. This is one featuring the nWo as they attempt to prise the titles from The Shield’s grip. Let’s take a look. The video package with images of the Shield beating down several superstars. The Un-Americans, Randy Orton, the Wolfpack, they all are shown suffering the storm that is the Shield. We then see all three members of the group holding up their titles. A group as ruthless as unpredictable... Then, we see a shot of Cena and Rock laying the Smackdown to several superstars in their illustrious career. We then see some footage of their elimination tag team match they won against the Mean Girls over on Fusion, which gives them their shot at the titles. A formidable duo of Hall-of-Famers... [quote author=Black Widow link=topic=6.msg7494#msg7494 date=1417947979]Roman: So we get to face the NWO again? This is the best that Fusion has to offer? We've shown that we can beat them and, now that they're done playing with Barbie dolls, we are going to completely destroy them. Cena... "cousin"... I hope you have life insurance for what we're going to do to you.[/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7498#msg7498 date=1417993202]Rollins: These two guys, Roman, have lost to us... Yet they still got in that number one contenders match. I can smell injustice a thousand miles away. I think you're right, Roman. Time to send a message to the NWO...[/quote] We then see some footage of their excellent non-title match several weeks ago on Fusion. Match that the Shield won. [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg7532#msg7532 date=1418274527]Rock: Roman, you say I can't walk the walk? Well let me tell you something Cousin, you and your little boys obviously can't see us. Cena raises a brow as Rock waves a hand in front of his face. Rock: Yeah, I said it. I am also going to say this. Roman, you are looking at the Great One, and I didn't just get that title from nowhere, I earned it. Just a couple weeks ago, I beat my own team mate, the Big Show. You may be a big man, but you are no Big Show. Perhaps you missed it a couples months ago but I beat our Global champion twice in a row. Its not a fluke no matter how much his little weasel says it is. I am still the Great One, and you are under estimating me and John if you think this will be an easy win.[/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7498#msg7498 date=1417993202][b][color=green]Cena: Seriously, guys... You wanna threat us over this? We will see each other soon. Bring the talk there then.[/quote] We see some more footage of the Fusion match between both teams. [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7414#msg7414 date=1416962305] Rollins: To think about it, guys... Those are two guys that have accomplished so much in this company... Yet, they embody exactly what is wrong with this business... The New World Order has been in control of Hybrid Championship Wrestling ever since it has been created. Hell, for the last few years before Mick lost his job weeks ago... Both GM were honorary members of the stable... If that ain't the biggest example of injustice, I dunno what it is... But no, we aren't going to go the Invasion way with them... It never works... We'll simply use the platform we are given to send the message that embodies our brand of justice to two of the greatest performers this company has.[/quote] [quote author=Black Widow link=topic=6.msg7524#msg7524 date=1418219139]Roman: You know, there's a big difference between you and I... sure, you're the "People's Champ" and everybody loves you... yes, you can definitely talk the talk. But when it comes time to put your money where your mouth is, you fail. Where's the Rock that I grew up admiring? He's long gone. You can talk the talk, but you can't walk the walk, and you've never been able to. That's where you and I are different; I can walk the walk. Hell, you had a bunch of spoiled blonde bimbos take you to your limit. You've dishonored not only our family but our culture as well. After my real brothers and I beat you, that goat-looking troll and that rainbow-haired misfit who does not belong in my ring, Seth and I will destroy you and your Superman tag team partner at Colleseum, and I'll show the world who the real hero of the Anoa'i family is.[/quote] [quote author=Thurl link=topic=6.msg7532#msg7532 date=1418274527]Rock: Exactly. Family or not Shield, the most electrifying team in all of entertainment is coming for you![/quote] We end the video with some more in-ring action between them and a staredown with both teams. TG: Great video! I'll start with Cole... Michael, you've seen Rock and Cena compete for several years. What makes them a team to be reckoned with? Cole: They are two of the greatest competitors this company has ever had. These two men have shown a better chemistry in recent weeks and this will be crucial to defeat a team who's chemistry is extraordinary. TG: Coach, you have seen the Shield work in the first few weeks of your GM tenure. What is the most impressive thing you have seen from them so far? JC: It's got to be the way they can cleverly use the numbers to their advantage. A prime example was the way they strategically ordered the entrants in the Elimination Chamber back at the last PPV. These guys are clever and vicious and that's a deadly combination. TG: Hunter, your thoughts on this matchup? HHH: The Shield is a very dangerous group of hungry men who have shown they're ready to do everything to set their own brand of justice on HCW. I've been to several wars against Cena and Rock and while I don't like them as much as I love other guys... These two guys are two of the top superstars this company has had since its debut. If the match we had on Fusion is any indication, it'll be the biggest test of all four men's careers. TG: Who do you pick, Hunter? HHH: I think that the ruthlessness of the Shield will outduel the experience of the NWO. But it will be a war out there... TG: Coach, do you see the Shield keeping the titles? JC: Even though I do prefer the way the nWo goes about their business as Collision GM I'd like the belts over on Collision for a little longer, and I think Reigns and Rollins, while not individually great can use teamwork to win as Rock and Cena are 0 and 1 in Tag Title matches in HCW. So yes Todd, The Shield for me. TG: Michael, do you go with the other two guys? Cole: It will be a tough call... I'm happy to be able to call that match, because it has everything. I'll go with the NWO in a great back-and-forth match to become Synergy Tag Team Champions... But either team winning wouldn't be surprising. TG: Thanks, guys. It promises to be one hell of a tag team match. And now, it’s time for one of my favourite parts of every Pre-Show! The touring schedule going all the way up to Birth of Destruction VII! #Post#: 7617-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:10 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The map of the USA and of Canada is now shown and there's eight pinpoints on the map, three in the US and five in Canada. TG: After tonight, we'll stay in the state of Illinois for the first set of shows. Collision will be held not too far from here, in the UIC Pavillon. A place were Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW used to held shows back in the 1980s and 1990s. The people of Rosemont will get to see Fusion over at the Allstate Arena. Fusion went there once before in May of 2013, where Alberto Del Rio and Cody Rhodes engaged in an outstanding non-title main event. Then, we'll have the 2014 Awards Show in Boise, Idaho, where fans will be able to see wrestlers from both brands in CenturyLink Arena. Then, it will be a major trip to Canada. We'll start this with the people of Collision paying a visit to Vancouver to Rogers Arena. It will be HCW's first visit to Vancouver. The people over on Fusion will pay a visit to Bret Hart's hometown of Calgary, in the Scotiabank Saddledome. It will also be the first visit in this town. After that, the next cycle will be in Ontario, as the guys over on Collision will pay a visit to Edge's hometown, Toronto, where they will have a show at Air Canada Centre. While they have visited Toronto before, it will be the first time that they come to the arena where the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs play their home games. The people in Fusion will go to Hamilton to pay a visit to FirstOntario Centre for what will be the last show before the biggest PPV in HCW's year... Birth of Destruction VII will be held inside the almighty Olympic Stadium of Montreal, hometown of Sami Zayn. 66 308 people can enter inside the former home of the Montreal Expos and the stadium where the 1976 Summer Games were started. The map disappears and is replaced by Todd Grisham. TG: Now that we are done with the touring schedule... Our next preview is for a match that will signify the end of a feud that has been going on for several months. The Universal Championship will be defended in a 60-minute Iron Man Match! Cody Rhodes and Shane Douglas have been battling for that belt and tonight means the end of their issues. And with Kurt Angle as the special referee, the odds of finally figuring who's the real Universal Champion are almost at 100%. Let's see how this has started... At Champion's Glory... We start the video package with Shane Douglas retrieving the title in that Three Stages of Hell match at the PPV. Then, we see him proudly wearing that title... And then we see the ending of the Nowhere to Run main event with the ref counting to three, even when Shane placed his leg on the bottom rope before it. We then see Cody celebrating his win and Shane losing his mind on the ref after that match... [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg7437#msg7437 date=1417201522]Hogan seems to not have expected this guy to interrupt him. The crowd gives Shane an excellent ovation while he goes to the ring quickly and with some zing in his step. He gets a mic while Hogan scratches his head. Hogan: Didn't I say I am not a happy guy at this moment... You better have a good reason to interrupt me... Douglas: You're damn right I do. I was robbed of the Universal title and I want to know what the hell you're going to do about it. Hogan: I didn’t see the match live as I was way too mad to care about it. I did see a replay of it and I saw what happened. You have all the rights to be mad and you will get that rematch at Colleseum. But before we go with that, what were you thinking to put your hands on the ref after the match? Douglas: You were too mad to do your f*cking job? If that's the case, I don't owe you a d*mn explanation. Other than the fact that the ref was an idiot with his head up his a$$. Hogan: Look, as much as you were unhappy of the missed call and I have been in your shoes before... That doesn't mean you can put your hands on a referee. And it isn't the first time you do so… Don't wait for your next pay check because it will be the financial side of your punishment for your actions. Douglas: You can take that paycheck and shove it up your a$$. I don't care. I want Rhodes, and I want him now. Hogan: Typical reaction... I also saw what happened last Collision and Cody isn't here tonight... Heavy boos from the crowd. Hogan: Your issues with him have been blowing over both brands lately. We will calm this before it gets too far out of hand. Douglas: Of course the golden boy isn't here. You can't have the face of the company getting his a$$ handed to him by the guy who will call the company on its bull$hit, right? Hogan: Like I told you, you will get your final chance to do so at Colleseum... But to regain this belt... You are going to have to do something you have never done before... Douglas: Nobody cares about your dramatic pause, grandpa. Spit it out. Hogan: If I were you, I would avoid getting in too much trouble physically tonight in that no DQ match against Goldberg... Because you will have to compete for sixty fu cking minutes at Colleseum! You will face Cody one last time in an Ironman Match![/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=39.msg7436#msg7436 date=1417201252]Now, I came out here to address the so-called “controversy” in my Universal Title match. Apparently Shane had his foot to the rope. Truthfully, I rewatched the footage and yes, it was a missed call. *The crowd finally cheers something Cody has to say and the “Douglas” chants begin again. Cody waits for them to die out before speaking again.* And while I will admit that it was a missed call, whether or not he would have gotten the rope break there wouldn’t have even mattered. Shane Douglas was beaten from the moment he stepped foot in that ring with me. Shane, you’re simply outclassed. I’m royalty in this business, the youngest and longest reigning Universal Champion in HCW history. What are you, huh? A paper champion, that’s who. And that is all you will ever be. You will forever be known as the guy who got lucky one night against the Face of HCW and my legacy will continue to grow.[/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=51.msg7438#msg7438 date=1417201767]The crowd gives a standing reaction as Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring. Judging by Hogan's reaction, he wasn't expecting this guy to show up. Angle makes his way to the ring and does his trademark jumping pose of his before going close to the apron, letting the reaction go for several seconds before getting a mic. The fans, who weren't expecting this guy to show up, continue to be on their feet and even some Angle chants are heard. Hogan: Well... Ladies and Gentlemen, HCW's alumni and your Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle! Reaction gets even louder. Kurt loves it, obviously. Hogan: May I know what brings you here? I was about to announce the special referee... Angle: I know, I know. Sorry to interrupt you all of a sudden... But I wanna talk about that, too. Hogan: Oh really? I know you saw the main event of Nowhere to Run as you were a member of the panel for the Pre-Show... Angle: I hated that ending too, Hulk. These two were tearing the house down until that disappointing missed call. And that is why I am here tonight. Hogan has a puzzled look for a second but quickly finds out what Kurt means. The crowd kinda has figured it out, too, as they cheer very loudly. Hogan: Ah... You want that responsability, don't you, Kurt? Angle: Look, I dunno who you had in mind and it was probably going to be a good decision anyway but let me explain to you why I would be the best man to do that job... Number one, I was involved in several Iron Man matches before, including a couple of classics with a man I think these fans know quite well. A man by the name of Brock Lesnar... Standing ovation for the former co-CEO and one of the greatest wrestlers in HCW's history. Angle nods as Hogan keeps staring at him. Angle: I know what it takes to compete in a 60-minute match... I know what Cody and Shane will have to do out there and I know they would trust a man who knows that all their efforts they gave to get there must not be compromised because of a missed call or an incident. And number two, there's no man who can bring the three I as well as I do. I have the intensity to stay focused for the entire duration of this match, as I have done before. I have the intergity needed to enforce the laws of the ring to both men. And I have the Intelligence of knowing what to do and what not to do as a referee. All these things makes me the perfect candidate to be the man in the middle for this exciting and important matchup... Hogan: I don't want to sound like a man who likes to burst people's bubbles... But you've had your share of issues with both competitors in that match... Angle: I knew you would bring that, Hulk. Look, my only intention is to make sure that at the end of this Iron Man match... We'll have a Universal Champion that won't be surrounded by controversy. Yes, I've had my share of battles with both Cody and Shane. But I am no longer a wrestler, Hulk and I don't plan on returning to the ring for quite some time. I respect both men in this match... I know how much they want to win this match and they need a ref who can make sure to stay in the background and make the right calls. Look, I know that these days, you rather make your decisions based on if it is good for the brand and not for the fans. Just don't see me just as a good decision for the fans. The crowd starts chanting Yes! and the scene is unreal. Hogan seems lost in deep thoughts for a while... Hogan: Kurt... You... You... You get what you wish! Ladies and gentlemen, your special referee for the IronMan match at Colleseum, KURT ANGLE![/quote] HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y3B0Vx_yQgo Give me the flammable life I'm cold as a match Ready to strike So here I go... We see the endings of both matches at Champion's Glory and at Nowhere to Run. Here lies a city on fire Singing along The arsonist choir Now here I go... We see images from the city of Chicago and his rabid fan base. It started with a spark And burned into the dark Now here I go... We see quickly the rise of Cody's career into what he has become today. There is a river I found Into the wild Under the ground So here I go... A button on a string And I heard everything Now here I go... During that part, we see Shane in the Revolution and then his quest to redeem himself that led him to where he is today.

I'm going to kick your a$$ for sixty minutes and I will like it. I am the true champion, as these fans know what would have happened if the ref wouldn't have missed that call. You're just a punk that won't be able to hang with me for sixty minutes...[/quote] Oh sweet ignition be my fuse You have no choice you have to choose Bid farewell to yesterday Say goodbye I'm on my way But in the end we all Come from what's come before So here I go... During that part, we see parts of their two matches where Shane hits his offense on Cody. Oh sweet ignition be my fuse You have no choice you have to choose Bid farewell to yesterday Say goodbye I'm on my way I threw it all away because I had to be what never was Been so hungry I could lie You took my word I took your wine During that part, we see parts of their two matches where Cody hits his offense on Shane. And held you in my bloody hands These rattled bones and rubber bands Washed them in the muddy water Looking for a dime and found a quarter But you can't make me change my name You'll never make me change my name Pay no mind now ain't that something **** it all! I came from nothing During that part, we see several things that happened in the buildup to these matches... The Cody's slap... Shane picking the Universal Title... And then both men raising the Universal Title. [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=39.msg7436#msg7436 date=1417201252]Shane, I know what you are thinking. That you have one chance, with your rematch. You and I, have the opportunity to make history. Universal Championship on the line, one last time, and the match made for real champions. The Iron Man match. For those of you too stupid to understand, Shane and I will compete for 60 minutes and the man with the most amount of falls in the end is the winner. Simple enough.[/quote] I'm something From nothing You are my fuse I'm something From nothing You are my fuse It goes... Oh oh oh... Oh oh oh... Oh oh oh... It goes... Oh oh oh... All Rise! During that part, we see footage of Cody's only Iron Man match against HBK for the International Title three years ago. We then see Angle fighting Lesnar in that same match. We then see him wearing the referee t-shirt.

I can go for over 60 minutes of kicking your silver-spooned face over and over and over again. You lost at Champion's Glory and you would have lost again at Nowhere to Run if it wasn't for that missed call. At Colleseum, it's the end of the road for you and I, Cody. And I'm going to make sure that you'll think about this match for a long long long time.[/quote] No you can't make me change my name You'll never make me change my name Pay no mind now ain't that something **** it all! I came from nothing I'm something From nothing I'm something From nothing We see the crowd rise and we see both Shane and Cody make one of their entrances. We then finish with the scene at the end of the contract signing, which is Kurt separating both competitors. TG: One hell of a video package, guys! Coach, I'll start with you... Is Cody right to say that Shane isn't good enough to step in the ring with him for sixty minutes? JC: No, he's not. I do believe Cody's better than Shane but saying that a former Universal and International champion isn't good enough is a little unfair of Cody. TG: Hunter, you've had your battles with Shane in the past. You think he is right to feel that Cody can't beat him either? HHH: I hate Shane a lot... But I've always recognized that he is one of the best this company has. With how these two matches went, he can surely feel that way. Hell, this confidence is what can help him win tonight, because you need a lot of confidence to survive an Iron Man match! TG: Cole, is the Iron Man match the toughest match for a wrestler to compete in? Cole: It's definitely up there, Todd. You have no idea how much cardio and toughness a man must have to compete for sixty minutes. And mentally, with the stakes of the match, it's so tough for the competitors to keep their initial gameplan. TG: Who do you pick? Cole: I will go with the man who got cheated on at Nowhere to Run. I think Cody's newfound attitude will cost him the title at the end of the match. TG: Hunter, may we presume that you are picking Cody to win? HHH: Definitely. It will be a great match, though. Cody has been champion for so long and there is a reason for that. TG: And Coach, do you see the Universal Title staying over on Collision? JC: Yeah, I do. I don't think it'll be comprehensive for Rhodes but I don't think it'll be properly close either. I'll even predict a score, 6-3 to Rhodes TG: Intriguing score. We'll see! It promises to be one of the best Universal Title matches in recent years. We'll go now to some more entry numbers being drawn. #Post#: 7618-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:12 pm --------------------------------------------------------- We once again return to the number-drawing room as we see a string of wrestlers waiting for their turn. We start with Hunter's two clients, Bill Goldberg and Dolph Ziggler. DZ: What a pleasure it is to be drawing my number, right here, in Mick Foley's office! Hogan and Coach roll there eyes as Ziggler does the thumbs up, while Hunter and Foley have a little staredown as both clients go to pick their number. Goldberg isn't the happiest guy in the room, for sure... Dolph looks happy of his number. Hogan: Bill, if you win the Global Title tonight, Vader will take your place in the Battle Royal. They go to leave and Ziggler ends up face-to-face with Daniel Bryan. Ziggler finally leaves as Bryan is quickly followed by the man fighting for the International Title tonight, Jeff Hardy. They both pick their numbers and while Bryan looks happy... Jeff is even happier. Coach: Jeff... If you win the International Title, Dean Ambrose will take your spot in the Battle Royal. They both give their numbers to Coach as they leave. Jimmy Jacobs then enter the room and picks his number. He is not pleased with the number he has gotten. He stares at Hogan while giving his paper to Coach before finally leaving. Edge follows suite and picks his number, he does look happy with the pick. Coach: And Edge, If you win the CDM Title tonight, Drake Younger will take your spot in the Battle Royal. Edge gives his number to Coach as he leaves. We go back to the guys up top. Coach: Jeff... If you win the International Title, Dean Ambrose will take your spot in the Battle Royal. They both give their numbers to Coach as they leave. Jimmy Jacobs then enter the room and picks his number. He is not pleased with the number he has gotten. He stares at Hogan while giving his paper to Coach before finally leaving. Edge follows suite and picks his number, he does look happy with the pick. Coach: And Edge, If you win the CDM Title tonight, Drake Younger will take your spot in the Battle Royal. Edge gives his number to Coach as he leaves. We go back to the guys up top.[/i] TG: Thanks for that, but now we’re going straight back to Renee Young who’s got a very special guest referee… Renee has already got Angle stood next to her. RY: My guest at this time, the man who will referee the Iron Man match for the Universal Title tonight... Kurt Angle! The Chicago's crowd gives Angle a good reaction as well. He's already in his referee attire. RY: Before we talk about the match you'll be doing tonight... I wanna know if you have any comment to say about what Cody said last Collision... Angle: Renee, I will say the same thing I said to Cody back then... If he wants to take the credit for me leaving and using it to stroke his ego, he can do that. He's a man, right now... My only goal is to get the job done tonight and make sure that we get a decisive champion after tonight. RY: You've had issues in the past with both Cody and Shane. Do you fear it could impair your judgment out there? Angle: I can understand your point, but I wouldn't have taken this job if I would let my past times with them go in front of the job I was asked to do. It's well known that me and Shane were the main guys of the Fusion's branch of the Revolution but we also had our battles for the International Title at that time. I am elated by how far Shane has come since then. He proved and he keeps proving that he can be a franchise player for the company. And Cody... He's the one that ended my Universal Title reign and while people might think I resent him for that night, it is not the case. After seeing him hold that belt for as long as he went, I just think it had to happen. He simply needed that major win to propel himself into the Hall-of-Fame discussion. I'm also happy for him, as much as he wants it to be about himself these days. My job is simple... Tonight, a true Universal Champion will be crowned... Oh, It's True! It's DAMN true! RY: Thanks for your time and good luck with your assignment. Angle: No problem, Renee and thanks. RY: Guys, we return to you. #Post#: 7619-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:17 pm --------------------------------------------------------- We go back to Grisham, with Coach back in his seat. TG: Well, I must admit I had a couple of doubts but Kurt’s done a good job of convincing me he’ll call this fairly. Now, it’s time to go to another title preview. This one is for The International Title, Jeff Hardy v Dean Ambrose…let’s take a look at this one! [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7408#msg7408 date=1416906891] [IMG] HTML http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s217/brht27/collision.jpg[/img] The crowd is patiently waiting when all of a sudden, Jeff Hardy's music begins playing. HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPqrGGAwjHE The crowd goes wild for North Carolina native, Jeff Hardy. As the crowd cheers, Hardy steps out with his usual pyro. He appears to be in good health after the brutal match at Nowhere to Run. Not only that, Hardy has a smile on his face and high fives the fans at ringside before entering the ring. Hardy goes on to the top ropes and applauds the fans. He mouths the words "Thank you" and "I love you" to the crowd. He grabs a microphone as the music stops playing. He soaks in the crowd a little bit more. Hardy: I won! The crowd cheers big time for Hardy yet again. Hardy has a big smile after saying that. Hardy: After months of pain and agony, I stand before all of you today as the winner of a war unlike any other. Shawn Michaels has fallen victim to his own ignorance. He is not the winner. I am. His quest to change me and be the demigod that he wanted is over. Now, I stand tall as the true winner and a proud man. All of you saw a side of me like no other in that match. I went above and beyond. I did things that I never thought I would do. The match did certainly bring another side of myself out. I beat Shawn Michaels because of that. I beat Shawn Michaels because my fear pushed me to a point where it was time to fight or die! I refused to say die! I refused to let Shawn have the better of me. I was not going to let that bast*rd walk out with a damn smile on his face! With all that in mind, did Shawn succeed in his goal? Did he change me? If Shawn wanted to change me and bring about a darker path, he has failed! I may have gone to the very limits of my body, mind, and spirit to finally destroy Shawn,hell, my body still hurts like all hell itself! But, I am the man that you all still love. I am a daredevil, the enigma, and so much more! I am still Jeff Hardy! I am ready for anything and anyone! Nobody will ever break the very man that I am! Shawn Michaels, you have failed! I have won! No longer will we all be tortured by Shawn Michaels and his ways. Now, it is time for me to look towards the future. It is time for Jeff Hardy to rise up to the top of HCW and be the best that I can possibly be! I have never been more energized than I am right now! Who's ready for Jeff Hardy to rise to the top! HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiHECnWxq7s As soon as that music plays, the crowd knows what's going on and Jeff actually gets ready to fight as we see the three members of the Shield come from the crowd. Cole: Jeff, run! Tenay: It's not a good idea to stand there, Jeff. JBL: Don't be too greedy... All three members of the Shield go to a different side and comes to the apron. They all stare at Jeff, who wonders how to fight back. As soon as they all enter the ring, Hardy tries to go off on all three guys but the numbers game is too much at first, as they start a 3-on-1 beatdown, to the crowd's boos. Hardy fights back, looking like an house of fire. He drops Rollins and Ambrose... Only to get speared to the ground by Reigns! JBL: How foolish was Jeff here... Tenay: And I think the Shield aren't done yet... Don't tell me... Cole: Triple Powerbomb! They maybe injured Jeff again! Tenay: Why would they go after him? JBL: I dunno... The Shield doesn't give much reasons, you know. The Shield leaves through the crowd, happy of their work, as Jeff is struggling to recover from the attack. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7424#msg7424 date=1417056528] (Renee Young is in the medical room with Jeff Hardy) RY: Jeff, after the Shield's brutal assault on you which adds to the injuries you already have, how can you possibly be ready for the next Collision? Hardy: Are you kidding me? I don't care what those Shield goons did to me this week! I'm going to come back and fight! RY: Jeff, they clearly have intent on making sure you don't set foot in the ring. They said it themselves. They see that you are everything that is wrong with wrestling. Hardy: You know how many times I've been told that I am everything wrong with wrestling? Just go on the internet and read some comments about me from 4 years ago, I've heard it all. I've heard every little bit of criticism about me for years and I never let that get to me! I get back up and I fight! I know I'm not every one's favorite person, but I know I belong in this company! Did you just not see what I went through with Shawn Michaels? He didn't think I belonged in the same ring as him, but I proved him wrong in every way! If the Shield fully believe that I don't belong in the ring, they can keep coming and I'll keep fighting. I don't see any injustice in myself. I see myself as a person who stands up and believes in himself. I stand up for the fans so they don't have to listen to complete jacka**es like the Shield! People may see that as pandering, but that's only because they don't have the heart that I do. I believe in every word that comes out of my mouth! I'm passionate about this business and I'll be damned if the Shield are going to prevent from stepping in that rig! So, to the Shield, if you want to take me out, you can see me next week. I'll be at Collision with all of my injuries. I'm hurting badly, but I'm going to stand in the middle of that ring and waiting for a fight. I challenge you to come out and try to beat me down again. I'll accept the odds against me. I don't care! I'll fight you guys every single week till every single bit of me is broken. RY: Thank you, Jeff. (The camera fades out as Hardy is getting checked on by the medical staff. He grimaces as they continue to examine him.) [/quote] [quote author=Black Widow link=topic=6.msg7413#msg7413 date=1416957777] Roman nods his head after Seth finishes his words. Roman: Jeff Hardy represents a false impression of what a HCW superstar should be. He's wild, brash and walks to his own stride... that is not how we do things here. The Hounds of Justice destroyed him for the reason being... he does not belong here. We sought out the weakness in this company and we fixed it and now he's disappeared like a forgotten memory. We faced a temporary roadblock on Collision, but that doesn't matter. We are the brotherhood in charge of this place. We are the dominant force in HCW. We are The Shield. [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7441#msg7441 date=1417258995] JC: Now, on our last edition of Collision The Shield took it upon themselves to attack Jeff Hardy. Now, Jeff’s been on a roll lately and I am informed that despite the attack he is still medically fit. So Jeff Hardy, in Collision’s Main event will face Dean Ambrose…and oh yes, the championship…IS ON THE LINE! The crowd cheer for the rare title match on Collision. [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7459#msg7459 date=1417499256] All three members of the Shield are to their usual spot. Rollins: I get the night off... What a shame. I guess I'll make sure to be out there for your title defense, Dean. Ambrose: I don't fear Jeff. He is stubborn and tough, I'll give him that. But stubbornness can be quite the sin when not used right... We will make an example out of you... You ain't taking this International Title away, Jeff. The only thing you'll take away after Collision will be your dignity. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7458#msg7458 date=1417499192] (Hardy sees the Collision card) Hardy: A shot at the International title? I love it, but I know that Rollins and Reigns will be waiting around the corner. My focus will be on Ambrose, but I'm going to prepare myself to face all three of those goons. They consider me the meat for the hound to eat? I'll prove that I'm the gun that takes the hounds down. [/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7482#msg7482 date=1417649606] When we return, Ambrose has Hardy in a Single Leg Boston Crab. Hardy had to use a lot of his leg strength to get out of the predicament and hit Ambrose with a sitout jawbreaker which sends Ambrose into the corner, where Hardy hits a one man Poetry in Motion which makes Ambrose go seated in the corner which means Hardy can hit that lovely Hardyac arrest. Hardy waits for Ambrose to come back up and kicks him, going for a Twist of Fate but Ambrose counters it into a Double Underhook Suplex, takes a while to get his breath back and goes for Dirty Deeds! He hooks it but Hardy slides out and hits a Twist of Fate! He goes for the pin![/i] [center]ONE!!! TWO!!! TH-NO!!![/center] That damn Shield have ruined it for Hardy. Reigns dragged the referee out of the ring and Rollins nailed a Curb Stomp to Hardy. The referee calls for the bell as Roberts calls for the DQ. The Shield regroup in the ring and look as though they want to dish more punishment out to Hardy, until The Coach storms out without music and with a mic. JC: I’m not having it, my first title match as Collision GM won’t go down like this. Reigns, Rollins, get out my ring and don’t re-enter it. You don’t want to know the consequences if you do. Referee, restart the match…under no disqualification rules! Ambrose shouts at Coach as Rollins and Reigns reluctantly leave but he turns round into Hardy who nails him with another Twist of Fate…but Ambrose just kicks out! Hardy is in disbelief and looks back at Ambrose before deciding to go up to the top rope. He looks to hit a Swanton but Ambrose gets the knees up, helps him up and hits him with Dirty Deeds…but Hardy kicks out at two again! JBL: Ambrose nearly had him! Tenay: Great resilience by Hardy… Cole: Who’s going to win this one now? Remember it’s no DQ! Ambrose rolls out of the ring and walks over to the timekeepers area. He grabs a Steel Chair but Hardy hits a Whisper in the Wind to the outside! Hardy recovers around the same time as Ambrose incidentally and the count is at 3. Hardy grabs onto Ambrose but Ambrose drives Hardy back first into the barricade a couple of times and throws Hardy back in the ring, before grabbing his title and leaving through the crowd. Hardy struggles in the ring to get up as the count goes all the way down to ten and Ambrose is nowhere to be seen! Hardy’s music plays as he is announced as the winner, but still the champ, Dean Ambrose. Hardy looks exasperated as we go to credits. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7487#msg7487 date=1417814957] (Byron Saxton is with Jeff Hardy backstage after Collision) Saxton: Jeff, perhaps, this was one of the most frustrating nights for you. Not only did the Shield try to take you out again, you were not able to even get a chance to win the International title after Dean Ambrose ran away. Tell me where your state of mind is? Hardy: Well, you said it yourself Byron. I'm frustrated as hell! I want to thank my GM for restarting the match and getting Rollins and Reigns out of there. At least, he gives me a damn chance to keep fighting! Ambrose has a lot of fight in him, but he's a coward. The moment that I have a chance of becoming International champion, he runs away. The International title was in my grasp many months ago. Now, that I finally have a chance of winning it, Ambrose decides to be a coward. I'm sick of the Shield. The only time they are willing to put up any fight is when they have the numbers game! As soon as Ambrose lost his buddies, he was scared because he knew I would win! I'm not afraid to fight three men! I'm ready to fight all of them whenever they want. Yet, they don't want to fight me one on one because they will lose! I'm frustrated. It's just that simple. I want to see Ambrose next Collision and not run away. I want him to come and fight me like a man. Maybe, I'm asking for too much out of him, but I'm never finished till my goal is reached. The goal right now is to beat the Shield at all cost and win that Internation title! See you later, Byron. Saxton: Thank you Jeff. (Hardy walks off. He kicks a wall as he walks down the hall still showing his anger over the events that happened.) [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7498#msg7498 date=1417993202] Ambrose: Jeff, Jeff, Jeff... I don't understand. Sure, the boys got caught up during the match but our GM had no rights to restart this match. I fight when the time is right. Last Collision, it wasn't that time. Maybe someday, I will bring you the fight that you should have never begged for. Rollins: Jeff, if you try to be the hero one too many time, you're going to get burned. And you won't be able to say that we've not warned ya.

He gives the fans high fives to the ring. However, you can clearly tell Hardy means business tonight after last week's Fusion. Hardy is given a mic after doing a couple of poses for the crowd.) Hardy: Hello St. Louis! Well, I'm going to get straight to business. I want Dean Ambrose in the ring tonight! Last week was total crap. I know it. The fans know it and if the Shield doesn't know then they are idiots. I pride myself on fighting against anybody, anytime, anywhere. I won't run away even if I feel like something isn't going my way. Ambrose did not do any of that. The Shield say they are fighting injustice, but as soon as something doesn't go their way, they back off. That's injustice. If you guys want justice, you better fight for it. You can't restore justice like you guys claim by running away. So Ambrose, walk out here and give me the rematch I deserve for that title! Hell, give me the fair fight that I know I deserve! (Hardy motions towards the back for Ambrose) Hardy: Come on! I'm ready to fight!

They start descending those stairs as Hardy is on high alert. Cole: Jeff, for the love of God... Leave this ring! All three members have entered the ringside area and are slowly stalking their prey. It simply looks like the show in North Carolina a couple of weeks ago... All three members look at each other from different sides of the ring. They then come to the apron, ready to strike. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7509#msg7509 date=1418007500] (Hardy looks around at each member. Rollins is on his right, Ambrose his left, and Reigns in front of him. Hardy stares at Reigns and Rollins individually with a smile. Then, he drops the smile and stares for a good while at Ambrose. Ambrose shows no emotion back, just a stare. Rollins and Reigns look at each other and give a smirk. Hardy stops staring at Ambrose. He looks up to the ceiling and takes a deep breath) (All of a sudden, Hardy charges at Ambrose and hits him with a big dropkick. Ambrose drops to the floor hard.) Cole: What on earth is Jeff doing! He can't possibly fight back! (Rollins and Reigns take advantage of Hardy's actions and pounce on him. Hardy tries to fight back by laying a few punches on both Rollins and Reigns, but the numbers game catches up to him. They beat him down to the ground. They are delivering punches and kicks and everything one can imagine. They are stomping on Jeff until Reigns decides to pick him up for a hard samoan drop. Rollins picks up Hardy and delivers a snap suplex. Hardy is cringing from the pain from the fight.) (Finally, Ambrose recovers from Hardy's attack and heads into the rings. Ambrose is fuming. Reigns and Rollins egg Ambrose to deliver Dirty Deeds to Ambrose who happily obliges. Rollins and Reigns drag Hardy up from the canvas. The mics were able to catch Ambrose saying something to Hardy, "You called me a coward! You wanted a fight! Now, it's time to for you to understand this. Careful for what you wish for!")

JBL: Why is that troll coming out here? Tenay: Maybe he couldn't stand these guys beating down Jeff again... Cole: And it's not like Daniel Bryan hasn't had issues before with the Shield! Bryan quickly runs to the ring as Ambrose drops Hardy to go at him. Bryan ducks and delivers a double running forearm smash to both Ambrose and Rollins. He then avoids the clothesline attempt from Reigns and start unloading with kicks. Unfortunately for him, the other two members of the Shield had recovered and they unload on Bryan with that pack of hounds mentality they're known for. Cole: For God's sake, can someone please help them? HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juqm94sUV_E The crowd goes even wilder this time... It has been so long since this theme song was heard over on Collision! Tenay: Ask and you shall receive! Cole: Cena and Rock! The men who will face Rollings and Reigns at Colleseum for the tag titles! Cena and Rock don't waste any time going after Rollins and Reigns. Ambrose would have loved to help but Hardy, who had recuperated from the initial attack, is going at him and for once, the numbers game is no longer to the Shield's advantage. Rock takes care of Reigns with his trademark spit + right hand, which drops Reigns over the top rope. Cena then catches Rollins in position for the AA but Rollins holds the ropes. Cena then decides to drop him over the top rope, leaving Ambrose all alone in the ring with all four guys. Bryan is still slightly recuperating but Ambrose is surrounded by Rock, Cena and especially Hardy, who suddenly has a broad smile on his face. JBL: And now, is it fair? Cole: Well, the Shield have just been played at their own game. JBL: And why are the NWO guys here... Tenay: Well, they are the number one contenders to the Synergy Titles, John. And remember what Hogan said after Ground Zero a couple of months ago... Cole: Ambrose has nowhere to go! Ambrose tries to plead his case but Hardy and the NWO guys have none of it. Dean then turns around... To a Running Knee from Daniel Bryan, to the St. Louis crowd's roars! Hardy then goes up top, ready for the Swanton... But Rollins and Reigns makes sure to slide Ambrose out of here before Hardy can go for it. That, of course, get some boos from the crowd. Rock and Cena are begging for The Shield to bring it.

The crowd is restless as Hardy crawls to the corner. Ambrose catches his leg... But this time, Hardy hits a enziguiri that allows him to tag the Rock to a outstanding pop! Rock goes off on Ambrose with several right hands before hitting a couple of overhead belly-to-belly suplexes. He then sees Seth running on the apron towards him. He knocks him down and outside the ring with a right hand, before doing the same thing to a standing Reigns. Ambrose then went up top but Rock caught him and threw him right back down the mat. Rock goes for the Rock Bottom but Ambrose blocks it and hits a DDT on Rock. He then hits a couple of powerbombs for two counts. Ambrose then tries for Dirty Deeds but Rock pushes him off. Dean charges but gets caught by a Samoan Drop that allows Rock to tag in Bryan, who cleans house of the Shield yet again. He then applies the Yes Lock! to Ambrose... But before he can tap, Rollins and Reigns break the hold. It creates bedlam for a moment where all four guys go to the outside. Ambrose gains control of Bryan and looks to finish it with Dirty Deeds... But Ambrose didn't see Hardy make a blind tag on Bryan. Bryan blocks the attempt and hits a thunderous Running Knee while Hardy goes to the top rope. He then hits a Swanton as Bryan throws himself at Reigns and Rollins, taking them out as Hardy gets the winning fall for his team![/i] Winners: Jeff Hardy, Daniel Bryan and the Rock at 18:31 Match Rating: *** Cole: If Hardy does that at Colleseum, we will have a new International Champion! JBL: I expect the Shield to fight back at Colleseum. Tenay: I'm sure Jeff, Rock and Cena will be ready for their title matches and what the Shield might bring to them. [/quote] [quote author=pat2007 link=topic=6.msg7558#msg7558 date=1418495210] Rollins: Congratulations on a win that doesn't mean much in the big picture... Jeff, Dean will gladly take care of you in Chicago. It won't be pretty. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7546#msg7546 date=1418399369] (Hardy is backstage after Collision) Hardy: What you saw out there tonight is exactly what will happen Colleseum! Dean, you better be ready for what is going to come. I'm holding nothing as I'm sure you are. However, keep your hounds out of our fight. This is between us. This is for your title. You better defend it with what little honor you may have. Be prepared because the Enigma is going to be holding a title by the end of that night! Your Hounds of Justice will not stop me from being in that ring any night. I belong in this business just as much as anyone else does. This has been my dream for as long as I can remember and I'm not going to let three scumbags tell me why I shouldn't be here! I have every right to be here! I have every right to pursue this dream! More importantly, I have every right to be International champion! Good luck trying to take me out of the game, Dean. You're going to need all of the luck in the universe to beat me at Colleseum. I'm going to win and I'm going to show you why I belong in HCW! [/quote] [quote author=chris_K link=topic=6.msg7527#msg7527 date=1418259136] The Shield doesn't run and hide, Coach, so your stipulation doesn't worry me at all. If Jeff wants to be foolish enough to step in the ring with me one more time then he is going to get exactly what is coming to him... *Dean takes a sip of water and looks back at the camera* And Rock...Cena....if you ever interfere in my business again, we will leave you laying on your backs just like we've done to every competitor who has gotten in our way. Believe that, and Believe in the Shield. [/quote] [quote author=MrAwesome link=topic=6.msg7612#msg7612 date=1418939156] (Hardy is at his home in North Carolina with an HCW camera crew with him on his front porch. Byron Saxton is the interviewer for this piece) Saxton: Jeff, at Colleseum, you get another shot at the title that has been eluding your grasp for months against Dean Ambrose. How does it feel to get a truly legitimate shot at this title? Hardy: It's something I feel I deserve. Ever since Shawn Michaels got involved, I was consumed with vengeance. I just wanted to prove that not only I can hang with the best, but I can beat them too. I had something to prove to Shawn and to everyone in the locker room and I did just that. Then, I was moving on. Was I prepared to go from such brutal battle into another war with the Shield? I wasn't expecting it. However, I'm ready to fight anyone. Like I said, I deserve this shot. I deserve a fair fight. No interference, no buffoonery, no running away. I have proven that I have a right to fight for this title. Saxton: What do you think about when the Shield says you don't belong here? Hardy: You know I've harped on this enough. I belong here. I was born to be in that squared circle. It's what I am best at. It is where my passion is. They aren't going to tell me that I don't belong in this business because I have proven time after time to them, to the fans, and to the whole world that I am man who has every right to be in this business because I am damn good at it. The Shield can stick their opinion up their collective *ssholes! Saxton: Do you have any final words for Dean Ambrose? Hardy: I have plenty of final words before our match. Dean, I know you're listening. Listen well to what I am about to say. I hope you are in some dark room with your buddies. I hope you're cracking jokes or spouting some nonsense about justice. I hope you're insulting everything about me. I want you to get whatever joy you're having doing all that out of your system. I don't want to deal with the coward who has constantly avoided a one on one all these weeks. I want a match with the man who is no longer afraid of the unknown. I know you don't want to lose that title nor would I, but I wouldn't shy away from a fight like this. So please, bring a fight! Bring tenacity! Bring ruthless aggression because I'm going to deliver all that energy you throw against me right back to you! (Hardy takes a breath and looks off into the distance, then back at the camera) I've never been afraid of your group. I've never have had a problem with your group. But, no man attacks me and thinks they will get away with it. You, especially, will not get away with this Dean. It's time we go to battle and see who really is the best man. You can be sure that the man who refuses to back down from anything is going to make sure he wins. This man is me. (Hardy puts his head down contemplating a bit more. He has a scowl on his face when he look back at the camera.) There's been no justice in what you guys have done to me. You guys are nothing but soldiers who twist a narrative for their benefit! You guys are the Hounds of Injustice. I'm going to take one of the hounds behind the woodshed and put him out of his misery. I know the hound has some bark. I know the hound has some bite when in a pack. I can take a few bites. I've always put up with pain. Dean, you're not going to escape my pain though. (Jeff is rubbing his hands together. It's clear that all the brutality that he has undergone in his career is swirling through his head) I'm the next International Champion. Now, that's proper justice! Believe that! (The camera fades to black as Hardy gives a sharp stare into the camera) [/quote] The package ends with both men trading moves in their Collision match before seeing the title being raised high. TG: It’s going to be a good one, that’s for sure. First off I want to talk to Michael Cole. If you were Jeff, what would you prefer to be? An International Champion or a Battle Royal participant? JC: Probably the former, the Battle Royal after losing a title match will be a hard, hard match to win. And if you’re The International Champion, you’re guaranteed a spot at BoD VII anyway… TG: Ok, Hunter, if you were Ambrose, knowing the DQ and Count Out situation, would you ask for the Shield to be at ringside anyway, even if just for moral support? HHH: The Shield looks like a unit out there. Of course, I would. Ambrose just needs to remind them of the stipulation and he will be fine. TG: Ok, Michael, to you, will Hardy still be feeling the Cage of Death? Cole: I think he has to be, no question. But you could also say is Dean Ambrose still feeling The Elimination Chamber, also at Nowhere to Run. Either way, I think Ambrose goes in there the most fit either way, but I don’t think that matters: Hardy strives on adversity like that. TG: So he is your pick right? Cole: He is indeed, Jeff Hardy for me. TG: And Coach? JC: I agree Cole, Hardy. TG: Do you agree with your panelists making it three out of three for Hardy? HHH: Hardy is on quite the roll... But he's a daredevil... And as much as I appreciated his matches with my buddy Shawn, I still see him as a man who will make mistakes. I have Ambrose using one of these to retain. TG: Well, thanks guys but now I believe it’s time to go to the ring, it’s Collisions Battle Royal qualifier! Scott Steiner and Sami Zayn v The Disciples of Darkness, Batista and Sin Cara. Whoever gets pinned is out of the main event! #Post#: 7620-------------------------------------------------- Re: HCW Colleseum 2014 Pre-Show By: ControversyPersonified Date: December 18, 2014, 6:22 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The Disciples of Darkness made their entrance first to boos. Zayn then came in to quite a few cheers, before the pop of the Pre-Show went to Freakzilla, Scott Steiner. Steiner and Cara started and here we go. Cara takes advantage after the lockup with a variety of side kicks and chops, before applying a front facelock and attempts a tornado DDT. Here, Cara’s offense is stopped where Steiner uses his strength to reverse with a back-to-belly and tags in Zayn, who ducks a clothesline and hits a Pele kick. Zayn, however, after bouncing back off the ropes, is taken out by a dropkick. Cara and Zayn face off in the ring with their highflying styles for a while, before Cara takes Zayn to the outside and tosses him into the guardrail and ringpost multiple times, before Steiner assists him and clotheslines Cara. Zayn returns Cara with similar treatment and a Yakuza kick. Back in the ring, Cara reverses a tiger suplex and hits a superkick. Cara and Zayn trade blows, with punches and kicks galore, before hitting various suplex variations with both partners eager to hit the ring. Cara goes for springboard moonsault but Zayn catches him with a powerslam and tags in Steiner. Big Poppa Pumps is riled up, taking out Cara with clotheslines and elbows combined with German and belly-to-belly suplexes in succession. Batista interferes before Steiner can cover Cara, and nails him with a short-arm clothesline. Cara springs from the ropes and hits a hurricanrana into the ringpost and tags in Batista. Batista works on Steiner with ground stomps and drops some elbows, which goes on for a minute of so. A failed cover leads to Steiner dropping Batista down with a drop toe hold, and attempts to lock in the Steiner Recliner. After a while, Batista starts powering out, but Steiner releases and spins around and, after a boot to the head, hits a double underhook powerbomb for a two count. Steiner, frustrated, goes to pick Batista up, who reverses it with a spinebuster into the mat. Batista goes to take Steiner down with clotheslines, but Steiner ducks and tags in Zayn, who springs off the top rope. His efforts prove fruitless as his attack is reversed into a Samoan Drop. Zayn is knocked into the corner with a bunch of back elbows and Batista starts working on him the corner. Batista nails another clothesline in the corner. Batista attempts a flapjack but Zayn flips out into a dropkick. Zayn crawls towards his corner for thet tag, but Steiner drops off the apron and mouths sorry. Zayn, confused, yells at him, but he's met with a clothesline to the back of the head from Batista. Zayn bounces off his turnbuckle, before Batista kicks him in the ribs and nails a Sitout Power Bomb on Zayn for the win. Winners: Batista and Sin Cara via a Batista Bomb to Zayn in 22:14. The winners names are announced and Steiner walks away to a split reaction, as the Disciples raise their arms in the ring. We go straight back to Foley’s office for the final number drawings. We go for a last time in the number drawing room and we now see the entire Disciples of Darkness group. Cara and Batista have just won their match and are in their wrestling gear. They are led with Taker and there's of course a slight staredown between Taker and Foley after what happened after Collision. All five guys pick their number for the Battle Royal. All five of them seems content with their number as they give it to Coach. Coach: Kofi, I must remind you that if you win the CDM title tonight, Drake Younger will take your spot in the Battle Royal. All five members of the Disciples leave and finally we get the last guy to make his draw. Scott Steiner makes his way inside the room. He has a stare with Coach as he picks the last number. He looks happy of the number as he throws it to Coach before leaving. Foley: Thanks everyone! To all the people that will compete in the 2014's Colleseum Battle Royal, Good Luck! He shows his toothless grin and thumbs up to a good pop from the Chicago fans as we go to the guys up top. TG: Every man has drawn their number. We are now at our last preview, the one for the 2014 Colleseum Battle Royal! Twenty-five wrestlers will have the opportunity to obtain an Universal title shot at Birth of Destruction VII, our biggest show of the year! Let's see a video package for this match... A match who can make careers! HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WcYOS4btnmE OOC: It plays into the duration of the video package. We start the video package with footage of last year's Battle Royal. Last Year, Cesaro entered number nine and competed for 41 minutes and 13 seconds... We then see him eliminate Taz to win the Battle Royal. And his celebration. To win the 2013 Colleseum Battle Royal... We then see footage from the 2012 edition. Two years ago, Cody Rhodes came at number 16 and went for 24 minutes and 48 seconds... We then see him eliminate Goldberg to win the Battle Royal. To win the 2012 edition... These two men didn't win the Universal Title at BOD but it was the launching pad of their careers. We see Cesaro becoming the top Un-American and being an household name. We then see Cody claim the Universal Title and a shot at him now once again holding it. Tonight, 25 wrestlers will get the opportunity to follow in their footsteps. We see quick shots of the NWO, the Invasion, the Disciples, Ziggler, Bryan, Hardy... [quote author=Black Widow link=topic=6.msg7601#msg7601 date=1418825709]Renee: Okay... well, lawsuits aside, coming up at Colleseum, both of you will be representing Fusion in the 25-person battle royal. What are your thoughts on that match? Torrie: I wouldn't be surprised if Stacy and I were rigged to lose that match. I mean, come on, the Rock was CLEARLY given anabolic steroids before our match on Fusion because there is no way in hell he could've popped up that quick after me delivering a Rock Bottom to him so quickly without an added stimulant. And Stacy? Well, it was clear to me and the rest of the world that Bret Hart and Magnus were working against her from the get go. Stacy: We are so SICK of the politics and the misogyny in this company! These guys want us to go away? Not a chance. We will not leave until we have retribution for all the crimes committed against us. At Colleseum, we will do anything to ensure one of us gets the victory. And I mean anything. Torrie: Anything. Stacy and Torrie slap each other a high-five. Torrie: Now, if you'd like to pay attention to the Torrietron 5000 behind you, we have prepared a little trailer video for our upcoming short feature film, entitled "Mean Girls: Torrie and Stacy's Revenge". A pink graphic displaying "Mean Girls: Torrie and Stacy's Revenge" flashes across the Torrietron 5000 and audio soon begins to play with clips of Stacy and Torrie doing typically girly things. [center]Who are The Mean Girls? They're like royalty. If HCW were Us Weekly, they'd always be on the cover. That one there, that's Kane. He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Damien bumped into him at a live event. He asked me how to spell orange. That little one, that's Torrie Wilson. She's totally rich because her dad invented Toaster Streudels. Torrie Wilson knows everybody's business, she knows everything about everyone. That's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets. And evil takes a human form in Stacy Keibler. Don't be fooled because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slxt faced ho-bag, but in reality, she's so much more than that. She's the queen bee - the star, those other two are just her little workers.[/center][/quote] [quote author=JamesPerfitt link=topic=6.msg7606#msg7606 date=1418841723][i]Sin Cara begins to laugh Sin Cara: If I am in the battle royal then they don't need to prepare .

It so happens that I lasted 18 minutes out there... And in those 18 minutes, I eliminated three men in that match, which was the highest total tied with the man who won that Battle Royal, Cody Rhodes. Those three men? Big Show, HHH and HBK... That's a pretty good list, if you know what I mean. I was almost in that final four but Goldberg eliminated me back then. But I was a different man back then... At Colleseum, I plan on winning the Battle Royal... But in the case, I don't... I would so love to eliminate Ziggler from it to see his face when he'll fail again... Anyway, this year, this is an even bigger test... But the Yes Movement knows that excuses don't mean sh1t... I will go out there... I will make an impact... And I will do my goddamn best so that at the end of the night, I win the Battle Royal! YES! YES! YES![/quote] [quote author=The Judge link=topic=6.msg7555#msg7555 date=1418455810] (The Undertaker simply smiles) Undertaker: Perhaps a mistake was made on my part.. (The Undertaker raises his left arm and makes a weird motion with his hand, within seconds the Disciples appear around him, the camera then pans to the NWO as they are walking away. The Undertaker then yells out towards them) Undertaker: Hey! (The NWO looks back and stops walking, while the Undertaker and the disciples walk towards them) Undertaker: Show, I'm not worried about having to go through you or any other member of the NWO. I would expect y'all to stay out of my business but if y'all can't I'm sure my disciples would have some fun teaching y'all a lesson.. I didn't want it to be this way, but I will not deny my Disciples a taste of fresh blood.. Oh and Mick, id appreciate it if you didn't tell me what I should or should not make a habit of, you are a mere mortal I am a superior being and I don't care whether you approve of what I do or not.. My Ministry is gonna grow and it's gonna grow however I want it to and I am gonna do what I want to do, resistance is futile..

You want to toss all of nWo out of the battle royal, but the whole nWo team won't be in the match. You see. I have full intentions of walking out of Colleseum one half of the new Synergy Tag Team Champions! If Shield doesn't have anything better than what they brought at Collision, I am sure that will happen. Show: That leaves Bret and Me. Believe me Barrett. The whole Invasion group doesn't have what it will take to get me over the top rope.

There's no doubt that one of us will win, in mine or anybodys mind! Once again, I'll tell you who we are, The British Invasion, you don't need an introduction! The Universal Champion versus a member of The Invasion main eventing Birth of Destruction! It could be Neville, the man that gravity forgot! A Red Arrow to one particapant? How about a Red Arrow to the lot? How about Wade Barrett, the bare knuckle fighter from the North! Big Show will be struggling to get one elimination, Wade will be on his fourth! The Anarchist, Douglas Williams, a two time tag champion with me! He can throw anyone over the top rope, you'll see! And there's me, Brutus Magnus, the King of King's Lynn! I'll happily win this thing and celebrate with beer and gin! Me, Douglas, Wade or Adrian...it doesn't matter, one of us winning is our mission! With all that being said...LONG LIVE THE INVASION!

All of a sudden, the cameraman turns into...SCOTT STEINER! SS: Well, it's pretty clear to me that things change quickly in HCW. Man, I haven't been gone a great length o' time, but there's been a GM change...wow, that don't happen to often roun' here. And while some old threats have waded away, new threats have arrived on the scene. Titles have switched hands, friendships have been made and battle lines have been drawn. One thing will remain the same in Collision though, and that thing is exactly what all my freaks'll tell ya, Big Bad Booty Daddy is back b!tch, and in Collision's past, present or future everyone knows I kick ass. I love goin' to the ring in a bad mood, cuz when I come out of that squared circle my mood changes! Why? Because kicking ass is the remedy to all my issues! And I'm lookin' forward to this here Battle Royale, where I will throw every b@stard or b!tch in that frigging match! First or Last Entry, Tired or Fresh, Man or Woman, Luchador or Fat Guy, Dwarf or Giant, Toddler or Pensioner, Main Eventer or Jobber, Collision or Fusion, Veteran or Newbie, Friend or Enemy and Good or Bad...you are goin' over the top rope courtesy of me! I AM SCOTT STEINER! I am the only man to have ever won three matches against all fresh competitors in one night at a HCW event! I am 4-0 at Birth of Destruction, and I will extend that to 5-0 when I defeat whoever the Universal Champion is! Big Poppa Pump is your hookup, and this battle royal that Scott Steiner's gunna win is what you need to look up! HOLLA! IF YA HEAR ME! Steiner then leaves, probably to consult a dictionary or do some pressups.[/quote] [quote author=#HeelCarter link=topic=6.msg7314#msg7314 date=1415905279]DZ: I stand before you today the conqueror of Mick Foley. Mick, I am officially done with you. Our story in my opinion is over and I’m glad about it, as now I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m going to take part in the Colleseum Battle Royal and complete my comeback I started two years ago and put the last piece in the puzzle and try and win back the title that I never lost. That’s all I want to do.[/quote] Several men with chip on their shoulders... All going for one thing... We then see the Universal Title hanging above the ring as the video package ends with several of the people in this match hitting their finishers. TG: Coach, I'm once again starting with you... Your thoughts on this year being a 25-wrestler edition? JC: I look at the field last year, compared to the field with five less last year and it's just so much more star studded...this is 25 of the most elite wrestlers in the world right now, and I love it. TG: Hunter, you've been in that kind of match before... What does it take to win the match? HHH: A good draw surely helps but Cesaro proved that it doesn't matter last year. So, a lot of toughness and a good understanding of where you are at all times is very important. TG: Michael, you probably love to call this match? Cole: No doubt, Todd. We just don't know what can happen out there. There's always surprises, shocking eliminations and outstanding performances. This year, it will eb better with more people in it. TG: Coach, who do you see winning the match? JC: There's so many options, but I'll tell you one thing really quick: a lot of the people in the Battle Royal have issues with other people in the Battle Royal, for example, even though the Battle Royal is suited for him, if Big Show ends up in on his own with two or three or however many Invasion members, I don't care how big he is, he's going over the top...so, it's got to be a guy who's kind of kept himself to himself in a way, and that man, if he somehow doesn't win his title match, will be Edge. TG: Hunter, of your two clients, who do you see getting the best chance to win? HHH: Easy. Dolph. Goldberg will win the Global Title tonight and that would only leave him. And Dolph has an even bigger chip on his shoulders this year than last year. And he is not competing in a second match as well... TG: Michael, who's your pick for that match? Cole: It's so tough. I can definitely pick one out of ten guys to win the Battle Royal... But I will admit that I have a preference for Jeff Hardy if he doesn't win the International Title tonight. He's in a state that I've rarely seen these days. He looks as focused and as sound as I've seen him in his life. It would be a great story if he was to win this match and go on to BOD VII. TG: Thanks Michael, well that’s it! We’re now very close to Colleseum, my thanks to Renee Young, Matt Striker, Jonathan Coachman, Triple H, Michael Cole, JBL, all the technical crew and all the fans for tuning in. The details of how to buy the PPV are on your screen, we’ll see you there! The fans applaud as we go to credits. *****************************************************
