THE CRUSHER, KRUSTY KID PAUL & TOUR ED vs STORM & "BAD BOY" JOEY MALONE

The legal men are "Bad Boy" Joey Malone and Crusher. Malone winds up on the ropes, comes off with a diving attack--Crusher PASTES him with his fist sending Joey flopping to the ground, rolling all the way to his corner where he tags in an unexpecting Thunder. Thunder steps in the ring, looks at Crusher--grinning confidentally and motioning "BRING IT"--and decides to tag in his partner Tempest instead. Looking particularly non-plussed, Tempest strides up to Crusher and both men lock up.Tempest is the bigger of the two men and starts taking an advantage, but Crusher keeps the pressure on his wrists and starts forcing him back--OH!!! Tempest lifted the knee to Crusher's breadbasket, stunning him. Belly-to-Belly Suplex takes him over. Leg Drop from the giant onto Crusher's chest. Crusher's down, and Tempest makes the tag to his eager partner--and the second Thunder gets in, Crusher's up again! Thunder stops dead in his tracks, turns around, and tags in Malone. Malone looks HORRIFIED but gets in anyways, sizing up his opponent, then dropping into a three-point stance, what's he thinking? Malone screams "Kill . . . or be BAD!" and now he's going for a SPEAR! But Crusher SIDE-STEPS him like a BULL-FIGHTER and watches as he runs all the way into the other team's turnbuckle! The NAPW crowd has a laugh at Joey's expense, here it comes--THE CRUSHER EFFECT!!! WHAMMO! The fans are going crazy, Crusher calls to the crowd, "Anyone wanna see the NEW GUYS do it!?" The overwhelming reaction, of course, is YES.

Tag made to Krusty Kid Paul., who wastes no time getting up to the top rope. Crusher and Tour Ed help him out by lifting Malone into position--OH MY--SUPERBOMB! From the TOP ROPE! KKP goes for the cover, ONE! TWO! Swift kick from Thunder knocks KKP off of his man. Crusher and Tour Ed swarm out to get him, but that just forces the ref to intercept and argue with them, MEANWHILE Thunder just grabs Malone and drags him over to his tag corner. Thunder tags himself in and makes a bee-line for KKP. KKP swings with a lariat, Thunder ducks underneath, SUPERKICK! And keeping with the "kicking a punk" motif, Thunder seizes the change in momentum to lay stiff boot shots on a stunned KKP. Ed and Crusher are back at the tag rope, not willing to get DQed with another run-in. Thunder's in KKP's face--"Do you know who we are, you little weasel? We're STORM!" then tags in the big man Tempest. Tempest picks KKP up and whips him against the ropes, then gets ready to LIFT THAT BOOT--except KKP hit the brakes, hanging onto the ropes! Tempest is FURIOUS and charges KKP--right into a BIG BOOT of KKP's own! Staggering the big man! KKP with a lariat--staggers him again, but doesn't take him down! KKP goes around, stomps the inside of his knee, bringing him lower, shoots him the bird, and winds up off of the ropes again for ANOTHER lariat! SUCCESS! KKP has FLATTENED the big man! And now he's on top! Swinging with rights and lefts--POWERED OFF by Tempest's amazing upper-body strength. KKP yells "Now THAT'S what I'm (BLEEP) TALKING about!" and tags in Tour Ed. Urged on by Dr. Zimer at ringside, Ed nervously titters and goes for "ASS!" Tempest--Tempest gets him by the throat--CHOKESLAM!!! "PEE-PEE! BOOBY!" Ed is convulsing on the mat, with Crusher and KKP desperate to get back in. Tempest looks at Thunder, and both men smile--and he tags in Joey Malone! Malone, nursing his neck, obediently steps into the ring--AND TEMPEST SCOOPS HIM UP LIKE A LAWN DART! He's running to the opposite corner--ROCKET LAUNCHER to KKP and Crusher using Joey Malone! All three men are sent crashing to ringside, with one of them being the legal man! And whle the ref's trying to argue some sense into Tempest, Thunder slips in and starts choking out Tour Ed! Zimer's calling for help, Ed's barely pronouncing dirty words, and Thunder actually seems to be ENJOYING himself! Tempest disengages from the ref and starts heading back to--NO! KKP'S grabbed his foot from ringside! He's not out! Tex, Storm's manager, hauls his trench-coated self over to attack KKP--and a KKP bitch-slap knocks him down! Crusher joins in, and BOTH men yank Tempest out by his ankles! KKP starts hammering away on him, while Crusher slides into the ring, stalking Thunder... Thunder sees him and tries to disengage in time--SPEAR--NO!!! Thunder just REVERSED THE SPEAR INTO HIS SLEEPER!!! Arms around Crusher's throat, legs around his waist, he's got it locked in! "POO POO PEANUTS!" yells a hurt Ed. "LOOK OUT!" warns Dr. Zimer, and sure enough, malone's back in the ring and has grabbed Ed by the ankles. He's twisting it around--it must be Stylin' Kyle's BEAR-TAMER--ED SQUIRMS OUT! KIP-UP--AND THEN AN IMPLANT DDT! IT'S ANTI-PSYCHOTIC THERAPY! HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! "POO!" THREE! Tour Ed just demolished Joey Malone!

The second the bell rings, Thunder LEAPS off of Crusher and slides out of the ring to sucker-punch KKP from behind. Dr. Zimer scurries into the ring to check on his patient, and Storm, joined by Tex, don't take that long to decide to retreat to a safer climate. Crusher's red with PAIN but hits ringside and gives chase! Thunder and Tempest are beating their feet to escape, but Tex trips over his over-sized coat AND THEY LEAVE HIM BEHIND! Crusher catches up to Tex, grins, and the fans ROAR as he grabs Tex by the scruff of the coat--WHAT THE!? A woman just bolted out of the coat--VERY OBVIOUSLY A WOMAN! Crusher is actually STUNNED at what he's just seen, and this lets "Tex" flee to the safety of the back! Crusher stands rooted in place, holding the trenchcoat, while KKP and Tour Ed walk up to their teammate and comment.

"Nice (BLEEP) coat."
"TEA-BAG! TEA-BAG!"


HEADLOCK CHALLENGE: THE DELIVERY MEN vs CELTIC ASSASSINS

The Celtic Assassins come out to a great deal of fanfare... and booing... and head into the ring, where Frank Warburton introduces the Headlock Challenge. The crowd is actually fairly mild. Next out is the Delivery Men who get a decent pop. Some posturing ensues between both teams. The NAPW's newest junior referee, Morgan Smythe, quickly explains the rules to both teams, and then she steps back. The HEADLOCK CHALLENGE has begun! Bobby O'Brady makes a big show of displaying his rippling Irish biceps, then invites the much smaller Delivery Man #2 to enter his headlock. #2 rolls his eyes, and Delivery Man #1 makes it clear that HE'LL be the challenger. He steps up... and the HEADLOCK is applied! The crowd starts chanting "Who's NUMBER ONE! Who's NUMBER ONE!" to pump up their hero! For a moment... it looks like O'Brady might actually be winning! But only for a moment... because then #1 does indeed start to power out! Wait! AL THOES HAS A CHAIR!? It's not even SUBTLE! Smythe and #2 BOTH intercept him... and Al Thoes gets all innocent and very pointedly, SITS in the chair. Of course, during this whole altercation, O'Brady's grabbed the ropes to get illegal leverage, and lets go as Smythe and #2 turn around. #1 looks like he may be in some trouble now, and may be wearing down... and just to rub it in, Bobby O'Brady laughs and gives Delivery Man #1... a NOOGIE! THE HAIR IS MUSSED! He may as well have just punched Hulk Hogan! #1 cries out in RAGE and starts powering out again! Al Thoes hops to his feet and goes to land a DOUBLE AXE HANDLE to the back of #1... but Delivery Man #2 rushes over, and Thoes stops dead and makes a big show of YAWNING and STRETCHING... but Delivery Man #2's had ENOUGH of this! Standing... DROPKICK! Al Thoes goes head over heels! Delivery Man #1 now, with an ELBOW to O'Brady's guts! And again! AND AGAIN! And then O'Brady retaliates turning the headlock into a BULLDOG! He's let go of his own hold! Did the Delivery Men just win!?

Morgan Smythe rushes over to the corner and calls for the bell as both teams continue to tangle in the ring, and then Frank Warburton announces that the Headlock Challenge is a no contest... but it has turned into an IMPROMPTU TAG TEAM MATCH! The crowd cheers, and Delivery Man #2 and Al Thoes hit their corners, and Smythe tosses Thoes' chair away. O'Brady and #1 lock up in the ring, two very powerful men trying to get the advantage. #1 overpowers, and drives The Irish Adonis into a neutral corner, shouts "This is for my hair, ya frick!" and chops the ever living heck out O'Brady! One! Two! Three! Four! FIVE big chops, then he hefts up the winded Irishman... and SNAKE EYES! Rollup! One! Two! Just two! #1 hefts up O'Brady and drags him to the Delivery Man corner, tags in #2. #2 hops in... leaps... HURRICANRANA! O'Brady is dropped on his head, and #2 locks in with... THE CROSSFACE CHICKENWING! O'Brady thrashes and reaches for any rope in or around the ring! AL THOES! He ruses over and PLANTS his foot on #2's head! The smaller Delivery Man releases the hold and grabs at his head... but Delivery Man #1 has hit the ring too! He nails a HUGE clothesline on Al Thoes that sends him up and over the top rope! He rushes back to his corner in time to take a tag from #2, hefts up O'Brady for a POWERBOMB! DELIVERY MAN #2 ON THE TURNBUCKLE! DELIVERY DROP! Al Thoes can only cringe in empathetic pain from the apron as O'Brady is rolled up! One! Two! Three! THE DELIVERY MEN HAVE WON! They actually do a VICTORY lap around the ring, glad handing the entire front row!


Wait! Al Thoes has a mic! "Hey, Delivery Men! You may have won that match... but you DIDN'T win the Headlock Challenge! So to all you guys in the back, NEXT WEEK, The Headlock Challenge continues! The Delivery Men COULDN'T break the headlock! Can one of YOU!?" Bobby O'Brady, to his credit, looks incredulous. The Delivery Men just shrug and exchange a high five, seemingly satisfied either way.


CALIBAN vs NIGHTMARE vs NENJI

The referee calls for the bell and the triple threat match is on! Caliban puts his back to the corner and watches as Nightmare and Nenji come to the center of the ring and start to jaw jack. Nenji throws the first punch and the brawl is underway! The larger Nightmare quickly gets the upper hand and shoot Nenji into the ropes connecting with a big boot to the face! Nightmare turns around just in time to take a clothesline from Caliban that sends him down to the mat! Caliban pulls Nightmare to his feet, but has his hands knocked away as Nightmare starts to pepper him with sharp right and lefts to the head! Caliban drives a knee into the gut of Nightmare and hurls him over the top rope and out of the ring! Nenji is getting to his feet and Caliban whips him into the far ropes. Nenji surprises Caliban by coming off the ropes and hitting a low dropkick to the monster's left knee! Caliban hobbles back and Nenji hits a pair of stiff kicks to the kneecap of Caliban trying to knock him off his feet. Nightmare has climbed back up onto the ring apron and scales his way to the top rope. Nenji quickly backs off as Nightmare takes flight and hits a shoulder block to the monster Caliban that finally sends him crashing to the mat!

Nenji hits the ropes and Nightmare backdrops him on top of Caliban! Nenji goes for a cover but Nightmare yanks him off! Nenji shoves Nightmare and gets a hard right hand to the head in return. Nightmare whips Nenji into the ropes and nails him with a sidewalk slam! Caliban is getting to his feet and Nightmare rushes him, only to get caught in a black hole slam! Caliban goes for the cover, one, two...Nightmare juuuuuuust gets a shoulder up! Caliban mounts Nightmare and starts to pound away at him with right hands to the head. Nenji is up as well and comes off the ropes with a kick across the chest of Caliban. Caliban looks more irritated than hurt by the kick and pulls off of Nightmare. Nenji tries for another kick but Caliban catches the foot in mid air, spins him around and pummels him with a double handed sit out chokeslam! Caliban is getting back to his feet when he takes a double ax handle across the back from Nightmare! Caliban turns around and is popped with a trio of lightning fast right hands that show no effect on the big man. Caliban rakes the eyes of Nightmare, scoops him up and slams him hard to the mat. Cover gets...two.

Caliban roars and pulls Nightmare up by a handful of greasy hair. Nightmare shot to the ropes... Caliban damned near takes his head off with a lariat! Caliban again pulls Nightmare up, and Nightmare is on spaghetti legs. RINGMASTER IAGO directs Caliban to make an example of Nightmare, and Caliban lays in a meat-hook like right hand. Wait a minute! Nightmare, from somewhere, is gaining a second wind! He absorbs the blow, to the mild surprise of Caliban, and starts firing away! Caliban doesn't go down, just being backed against the ropes... Nightmare backs off and rushes with a clothesline! And that sends Caliban out of the ring! Caliban...LANDS ON HIS FEET. The monster is agile, on his feet, but momentarily disoriented --- NENJI! Whips Nightmare around and fires away, but gets CAUGHT by the double CHOKEBOMB! DREAMCATCHER connects...lands right in a pinning situation! ONE! TWO! THREE! Nightmare wins!

As Nightmare celebrates, Caliban rolls back into the ring and drops him with a clothesline to the back of the head! RINGMASTER IAGO is directing Caliban to make an example of Nightmare, and the monster...grabs Nightmare by the back of the neck! THE HEART OF DARKNESS, that reverse chokeslam, and Nightmare is OUT! Caliban looks on mercilessly as Ringmaster Iago steps into the ring, sneering and jeering the fallen opponents! Nightmare wins, but Caliban stands tall!


DECAPITATORS vs KARL VAN HELDEN & DON TRAVELLI

The Decapitators make their way to the ring first. Karl Van Helden comes out, followed by the Television Champion, Don Travelli. Diamond and KVH start the match off first. Karl has quite the height advantage over Diamond so he tries to get him to lock hands for a test of strength. Diamond goes for it, but kicks KVH in the stomach and runs off the ropes with a dropkick, lightning quick. Diamond jumps onto KVH and starts wailing away at him. KVH tosses him off and gets to his feet. Diamond cross body jumps him but KVH catches him and does a fall away slam. KVH tags in Travelli and flips off the booing crowd. KVH holds up the arm of Diamond and Travelli throws a stiff punch to Diamonds ribs. Travelli backs Diamond into their corner and chokes away at him. The referee breaks it up. Don taunts the crowd, but turns around and levels Diamond with a hard right. Diamond falls to the ground and Travelli puts a knee into the back and stretches Diamonds neck back, almost like an STF. He breaks the hold, before Diamond can tap, in true heel fashion. He gets Diamond back to his feet. He tags in KVH and KVH gets in and bulldogs Diamond to the ground. He picks him up Diamond, leaving him bent over in the middle of the ring. KVH runs off the ropes coming back with a jumping knee, but Diamond pulls his arm along KVH's legs and trips him up. Diamond falls to the ground, trying to tag in Axe. He almost gets there but KVH pulls him away. Axe gets in to argue, and Travelli jumps in to double team Diamond with rights and lefts before the ref tosses him back out to the ring apron. KVH throws Diamond off the ropes, he ducks for a back body drop, Diamond throws a leg up and kicks KVH in the face, Diamond jumps off the ropes and does a flipping leg drop bringing KVH to the mat. The crowd is cheering Diamond to get up. He crawls to his corner...KVH tags in Travelli...Diamond tags in Axe!

Axe clotheslines Travelli! KVH gets up and Axe chops him down to size. Axe has all the momentum as he throws Travelli off the ropes, Axe bounces off the other side and flies at Travelli with a big shoulder block tackle. Axe gets back to his feet, KVH comes in for a double axe handle, Axe catches him and delivers a spinebuster to KVH! Axe yells and the crowd cheers him wildly. Travelli is crawling to Axe from behind, he catches him with a low blow as the referee is rolling KVH out of the ring. He goes for the cover, one, two, NO! Axe kicks out. KVH walks around the outside and grabs the ring bell. The referee doesn't see it. KVH pulls Diamond down off the ring apron, and puts the bell into the corner of the ring. The ref starts yelling at KVH, not seeing the bell. Travelli grabs the bell and waits for Axe to get to his feet. He runs at him... DING! Axe gets hammered with the bell, Travelli slams Diamond into the ring apron and tells the ref to look at Travelli. He has the cover... Not like this! ONE! TWO! ...THREE! Don Travelli and Karl Van Helden take the win!

The Italian-German Alliance celebrates in the ring, Travelli patting his TV Title belt...Suddenly the lights go out! It's dark for five, ten, fifteen seconds... They come back on! To Predator standing center of the ring! He runs at KVH and spears the living hell out of him! And the crowd loves it! Predator turns his attention to Travelli, but the TV champ has already hightailed it it out of the ring. Travelli is backing up the aisle slowly, looking on with some anxiety. Predator stares him down, and then makes the "CUT THROAT" gesture towards Travelli!


TAG TEAM TITLES: THE NEW & IMPROVED D-X vs DOOMRIDERS

Both teams make their entrances to wild crowd reactions...The tag champs getting jeered and booed, and The Doomriders picking up quite a surprising amount of cheers! Billy Kryenik is on fire in the NAPW and Tommy Deathrow has his own legion of fans! It's going to be Kryenik and Stylin' Kyle to start, and we have a lock-up. Rear waist lock, standing switch, Kryenik elbows out and takes Roberts down into a headlock, holding on. Kyle stands up, back suplex puts Kryenik down! Quick cover gets one, both men back to up their feet...and the crowd with a round of applause! D-X has been spouting off all week that the Doomriders can only succeed in a "hardcore" environment, and the Riders have set out to show D-X just how wrong they are. "Sick" Billy Kryenik, a devotee of some of the best technical wrestlers in the world like Dean Malenko and Shoji Nakamaki, doing what he did on Monday night: Showing off his *wrestling* ability. Kyle & Billy tag out,a nd now it's the brawler Tommy Deathrow and the imposing, dominating Bruce "THE BEAST" Richards in the ring. Deathrow & Richards also lock up, The two-hundred seventy pound Beast muscling Deathrow back to the turnbuckle. Clean break? Heck no, The Beast clapping both hands against the sides of Deathrow's head, Vader style! The Beast lays in with some double-handed chops. Irish whip sends Tommy across the ring into the opposing turnbuckles, here comes The Beast with a body avalanche --- Deathrow drops low! He rolls up The Beast for one, two! And again The Doomriders are looking to surprise D-X and beat them with WRESTLING! Deathrow, still a brawler at heart, fires away some sloppy but dangerous looking closed fists across The Beast's face. He's got a handful of hair and drags The Beast over to the Doomrider corner, tag in Kryenik! The Doomriders send The Beast into the ropes, Tommy hits the other side, and spears The Beast down! Tommy grabs The Beast in a praying position, exposing the face of The Beast to... a STIFF kick from Billy Kryenik! Deathrow heads out as Billy covers for one, two, The Beast kicks out. Kryenik taunts Kyle, but Roberts maintains his cool. Right hook from Kryenik sends The Beast staggering, and now Kryenik tags Deathrow back in. Kryenik has the front-face lock, suplexes The Beast down, and Deathrow lands a leg drop from the middle rope. One, two...The Beast powers out! The Doomriders are in total control of this contest, and The Beast needs to make a tag.

Tommy sends The Beast to the turnbuckle hard and follows in with some huge rights and lefts. The Beast takes them all. Deathrow boots him in the gut, and here's the set-up for a powerbomb! The Beast POWERS out and backdrops Deathrow! Deathrow pops up and rushes, The Beast ducks the lariat! He latches on behind Deathrow and quickly applies a cobra clutch...and then DROPS down! Deathrow hit the canvas hard from that Cobra Clutch Bomb! The Beast shakes the cobwebs loose, and now...he's ANGRY. He grabs Deathrow roughly, hooks into a pump-handle formation...SUPLEX! Deathrow literally SPUN in the air and landed three-quarters of the ring away by the strength of Bruce Richards. And now The Beast is unleashed. Roberts asks if Bruce wants to tag out, but The Beast wants Deathrow all to himself for now! Deathrow is crawling up and The Beast jumps up high with all his height, crashing his entire body down on Tommy! He does it again, knocking the air from Tommy's lungs. The Beast grabs Tommy by the ankles and cinches his legs up, it's an AIRPLANE SPIN? GOOD LORD NO! The Beast spinning around and LETS GO sending Tommy headfirst into the lower turnbuckles! He could have broken Deathrow's neck! There's a tag to Stylin' Kyle, who gets in the ring with a boot to Deathrow. And Deathrow is dazed. Stylin' Kyle doesn't waste time, immediately hooking Tommy for a brainbuster. That's gotta be all, one, two, Deathrow kicks out! Kyle stands up, hands on his hips --- suddenly he springs into action and nails Sick Billy! Billy rushes into the ring illegally, and the referee meets him halfway! While the ref's back is turned, D-X chokes Tommy out with the tag rope and lays in closed fists. Kyle slaps his hands in the air loudly, and The Beast gets in without actually making a tag. Referee thinks one was made, however, and turns around just as Kyle snaps Tommy down with a backbreaker! The Beast is on the ring apron...? OH MY! Slingshot senton splash from a TWO-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY POUND MAN! ONE! TWO! Kryenik nails The Beast at the last second. He gets back out, and now D-X makes a LEGAL tag. Deathrow sent to the ropes, D-X going to hit their "NEW AND IMPROVED DOUBLE LEG DRAG"... Tommy holds onto the top rope! D-X momentarily thrown off their game, and Deathrow rushes with a double clothesline! He hits both tag champs! Wait a minute, Kyle is up quickly! Kyle hits him from behind and forces him to the ropes, but Deathrow is a man possessed! He unloads and Kyle can't match him punch for punch, hell no! Kyle dazed, against the top rope, and HERE COMES DEATHROW! CLOTHESLINE TAKES BOTH MEN TO THE OUTSIDE! And now Kryenik can get involved in the action! Kryenik and Deathrow taking it to Kyle... WAIT A MINUTE! LOOK OUT BELOW! THE BEAST OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH NO-HANDS SUICIDE PLANCHA! And he wipes out the whole crowd!

All four men are down, and Tommy Deathrow is still the legal man for his team, The Beast the legal man for the champions. But on the outside, it's just one big brawl! The "wrestling match" is starting to break down. Kryenik & Stylin' Kyle are going to work, fighting in the front row! The referee is telling them to get the hell back to their corners, and meanwhile...Deathrow has been rolled into the ring by The Beast! And The Beast... has one of the tag team title belts! Deathrow gets to his feet, turns around --- and gets PLASTERED BY THE BEAST! There's a cover, the referee sees it, NOT LIKE THIS, NOT LIKE THIS! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEE-----NOOOOOO! Tommy Deathrow KICKS OUT OF THE BELT SHOT. The Beast is completely BESIDE himself! Suddenly on the outside --- Stylin' Kyle EATS superkick, sending him back over the railing! The fans roar! But in the ring, The Beast is going to finish off Tommy Deathrow where the belt shot didn't! He's going to the top rope for his Diving Moonsault, that's one helluva big man coming off the top! Deathrow stands up and rushes The Beast, pushing him off the top and alllll the way to the outside! Deathrow is busted WIDE OPEN from the belt shot, the gold and diamonds cutting him open. The camera frames a heavily breathing Deathrow, hair framing his face, licking the blood that's streaming down his face. And Tommy Deathrow slides outside, bad intentions on his mind. He grabs The Beast, and here comes Kryenik! The Doomriders have the Beast and GOOD LORD. They send him so fast, so hard into the guardrail that The Beast's weight toppled over a section of the guardrail and separated it off! The referee is yelling for this to get back in the ring, but Tommy Deathrow has the guardrail, he lifts it above his head and smashes it down across the body of The Beast! Kryenik screams "HELL YEAH!" about that, and grabs the nearest item a fan is holding out, which convienently happens to be a STEEL CHAIR! He turns around to meet a rising Stylin' Kyle and smashes him across the top of the head! The referee is calling for the bell, what's the decision? The winners...are D-X...by DISQUALIFICATION!

The Doomriders don't even seem to care! D-X raised the bar, and The Doomriders are quite happy to play in foreign object land! Deathrow stomping on The Beast, who's still underneath that heavy steel guardrail! Kryenik is in the middle of the fans in the front row, holding a chair with Kyle's blood up above his head to tremendous cheers! Tommy Deathrow is cursing out The Beast. D-X has retained their title belts, they win the match, but this is far from over. FAR from over, as Action! goes off the air!
