NAPW ACTION!07/28/2006BACKSTAGE Kabukimono are WALKING --- "Take that Kabutops!" Suddenly a shower of deadly red & white Pokeballs rain down upon Bakuto & Guy N. Cognito. Apparently the mafia bodyguard protecting the wanted for murder gym teacher have been confused with Pokemon? CRACK, Cognito goes down in a heap. Pan over, the Royal Foundation are chucking their supply of Pokeballs at their opponents tonight. Bakuto & Cognito are face down, trying to cover up. Mr. B winks at the camera and opens a Pokeball...it's filled with freaking concrete! The Foundation have been tossing balls of concrete at the heads of their opponents tonight. Young, Prince and Mr. B leave Kabukimono laying, and they walk off laughing.
Adam Mayhem is in the ring awaiting the arrival of Crusher. "Believe Me" by Fort Minor starts playing over the arena and out storms Crusher (pop!). He runs to the ring and Adam goes to the outside of the ring. We are absent a ref until Rex Caliber's music hits and he comes to the ring to a Rextacular pop! Adam is pacing as Crusher just rubs his hands together like a lion waiting to prey on a small animal. Rex tells Adam to enter the ring. He does as told and the bell sounds. Crusher wastes no time and runs toward Adam with a ring shaking clothesline. Adam gets up staggering and is hit with another clothesline. Adam tries to crawl to the ropes and is met with a boot to the head. Crusher picks Mr. Mayhem up and quickly slings him into the ropes. Mayhem rebounds and is put in a Samoan drop that makes Rex wince, knocking the air out of Adam. Crusher is up - beating his chest! Rex goes over and checks on Adam. Adam pulls Rex in closer, grabbing anything and gasping for air. Crusher comes over and gets kicked in the balls. Adam lets go of Rex. Adam gets up and kicks the downed Crusher. Rex looks confused but can't dwell as Adam executes a three quarter nelson pin. One... Tw- Crusher kicks out with authority! Adam lays in some heavy elbows but Crushers on one knee. Some rights to Crushers head... and like that, Crusher is all the way up. Adam gives an "oh (BLEEP)" look. Crusher grabs him - DDT! Adam is down but still moving. Crusher gets kicked in the knee. Adam gets up and goes off the ropes for a scissor kic- No wait! It's reversed, Crusher with a HIGH CRADLE SUPLEX. He threw him high and tight and Adam looks nearly dead. Rex is making sure Mayhem can continue. Crusher is crouched and getting ready to end Adam Mayhem's night. Crusher waits for Adam to get to his feet... Adam is using the ropes... Crusher waits and Adam is in position for the SPEEEEEEEEEARRRRR! It's over but... Crusher doesn't pin. Rex is telling Crusher to pin the man, Adam's toast. Crusher puts his arm in the air and makes a flicking gesture with his hand. Is he turning on the power for the JACKHAMMER? Why yes he is. Adam is upside down for 5...10...15 seconds and BAAAMMMM! One...Two...THREE! Crusher is the winner and it was a slaughter. Rex raises the hand of a focused and monster-like Crusher.
The Royal Foundation make an entrance. Mr. B takes the microphone. "Since the opponents for my clients are too injured to compete, I demand that the referee declares the Royal Foundation winners by forfeit---" Wait a minute! That's Kabukimono's music! They're beaten and bruised but coming to the ring, and it's a match! Kabukimono rush Young & Darko, taking the early advantage. Bakuto nails a Yakuza Kick in the face of Young, sending him reeling into Cognito, who latches on a full-nelson into a backbreaker! Watch out for Prince Darko --- he leapfrogs the big Cognito...into the STUNNER. That's his finisher, he calls it Royalty. Bakuto kicks him in the gut, hits the ropes... Prince Darko nails the man with a big, Booker T-like spinebuster. He pulls Bakuto up and signals to Thomas Young... They irish whip Bakuto to the ropes, and connect with the Royal STO! Young nailed a big boot at the same time Darko went for the STO. Bakuto is down, cover one, two, Guy N. Cognito makes a save. And for that, he gets the BSG --- the Bodyguard Special! Inverted overdrive takes Cognito out of the match, and now Mr. B is telling his men to "go for it!" Darko puts his hands out wide --- and captures Bakuto into a full-nelson! He shakes the man around, but watch out for Thomas Young! Off the ropes --- BIG BOOT INTO BAKUTO'S FACE! Darko bridges backwards in a full-nelson suplex, Bakuto ain't kicking out of this. One, two, three, and Royal Foundation have their first win NAPW! They way they're celebrating, you'd think they just won the Tag Team Championships...
Special referee... REX CALIBER! Carver & Kidd get quite the nice pop. Stiff Competition argue about who's going to start, infurating the already Psychotic Sara. She screams in their faces. Blink, blink. Now Hardway & Flanagan are falling over each other to START the match. Kidd & Carver exchange raised eye brows, shrug, and rush their unorganized opposition. Kidd working over the oiled-up muscle-head Rod Hardway, Carver chopping on Dutch Flanagan. Opposite corners of the ring for each pairing, Kidd yells over his shoulder. Carver dives out of the way as Hardway is sent crashing into Flanagan. Crash "whooooooaaaa!"s, gets a corner, and does a flipping back elbow into both men! Hardway falls backwards... Flanagan falls forward, head-first into Hardway's, uh, rod and balls. Hardway's eyes bug out of his head. Rex Caliber considers calling this match to 'order.' Then, he points and laughs at Hardway's misfortune. Crowd loves it. Kidd takes over on Hardway, nails him with a big swinging neckbreaker for one. Tag made to Carver, who comes into the ring with a springboard leg drop. That gets two. Carver chops on the big Hardway, irish whip, reversed, Crash flies off the ropes, ducks the lariat, rebounds again... and DOES NOT duck the Mafia Kick (kills you dead.) Crash sits straight up, eyes glazed, and then flops back down. Hardway picks his man up... vertical suplex! Making him think about it... and DOWN to the canvas. Hardway floats over, stands up and makes a tag to Dutch Flanagan. Durty Dutch comes in the ring, runs over Crash and leaps, Confederate (Asai) Moonsault connects! That gets two before Kidd kicks Dutch in the head to break it up. Caliber tells Kidd to stay in his corner, they lock eyes. Meanwhile, Psychotic Sara chokes Crash Carver across the bottom rope. Kidd tells Rex to turn around, he does with a grin, catching Sara in the act. He warns her ---- SHRIEEEEEEK. Caliber blinks, blinks. "YERRRRR OUTTAAAAAA HEAHHHHH!" Sara screams louder, refusing to go, so Caliber rolls outside the ring and picks her up over his shoulder, showing her pink panties off to the audience in the process! He slaps her on the butt once for good measure and walks her up the aisle. In the ring, Stiff Competition double-team Crash Carver, but Kidd isn't going to stand for it! He rushes into the ring --- SPINEBUSTER on Hardway! Kidd gets up, roaring to the crowd... Watch out for Flanagan! Quick as a cat, he gets Dutch Flanagan on the ropes and locks on the Tarantula! There's no ref to force the break, so he stretches Kidd for all he's worth. Meanwhile Hardway jams Carver's head between his legs (not that way, sickos) and flips him up, driving him back down with a huge Jacknife Powerbomb! Rex Caliber has dumped Sara to security at the curtain. The Nexus One sprints back to the ring. He looks at the Tarantula, and Hardway covering. Rex slides down, but doesn't cover? He's right in Hardway's face: "You're not legal, chief." Hardway slaps his head, then yells at Dutch to let go of the Tarantula. Dutch is gleefully pulling on Kidd's limbs, but finally gets the message and lets go. Dutch & Hardway touch knuckles. Hardway hits the ropes as Dutch holds Carver up for a HART ATTACK --- Carver leans waaaaay back to avoid the clothesline! Hardway stumbles to a stop... Dutch changes tactics and tries a powerbomb of his own, Carver reverses into a huracanrana that sends Flanagan flying into his partner! Hardway knocked out of the ring! Kidd is in his corner! Carver crawls, crawls... he makes the tag! And Kidd is a HOUSEAFAR! Kidd storms into the ring, clotheslines Flanagan down! Here's Hardway, Kidd boots him in the gut and connects with his StunGun! Rod Hardway is dangling off the top rope, head outside the ring, WATCH CRASH CARVER GOOD GOD! Carver FLYING off the top turnbuckle with a suicidal leg drop across the back of Hardway's head, both men landing in a heap on the outside! That almost did more damage to Crash. In the ring, Kidd is calling for the Crimson Tide. He hooks the double-arm... Flanagan drops low! LOW BLOW to Kidd, the man Stiff Competition accused of having no balls. Well, by the pained expression on Kidd's face, it's patently obvious that Kidd INDEED has sack. Rex Caliber seems content to let this go on as it is, not bothering to admonish Flanagan. Caliber's taken so many low blows he probably figures it's a transition move at this point. Flanagan rebounds off the ropes, somersaults in for A Roll In The Mud --- hits knees! Kidd got his knees up, good Lord Flanagan bent in half over them! Kidd is up... Crimson Tide! Double-Arm DDT connects, Kidd quickly tags in Crash Carver, who goes to the top rope! 450 Splash! Carver covers, Kidd baseball slides into the face of Rod Hardway before he can get involved, and Rex Caliber counts for ONE, TWO, THREE! Crash Carver & Kidd win the match!
El Mentiroso is questionably still accompanied to the ring by El Gato. Mentiroso's tubby apprentice looks contrite after he cost Mentiroso the Pure Honor tournament match and almost got El Mentiroso kicked out of the division. The Brazilian martial artist, Juice, floats like a butterfly in the ring. Mentiroso takes him down with an arm drag, second arm drag, third one for good measure, then into the arm lock. Juice adjusts the momentum and uses an Ippon Toss to send Mentiroso over his shoulder. He gets down immediately, hooking the Kimura Shoulder Lock! Mentiroso is in danger and quickly grabs the ropes. First rope break used there. El Gato yells at referee Henry Andrews that Juice was pulling hair. Andrews looks at Gato's cheeto-stained face with distrust and disgust. Nonetheless, Juice controlling Mentiroso here. Sweeps the legs out from under Mentiroso and goes to an arm lock. Mentiroso rolls, tucks and flips up to his feet, flipping Juice to his back! Mentiroso quick to hit the ropes, senton splash! The wind knocked out of Juice, and Mentiroso gets down, what's this? He rolls forward... Full Nelson applied with the legs! Juice is in an awkward position, trying to get a working grip on Mentiroso to counter... but on the shouted advice of his trainer Gasato, he gets his foot hooked on the bottom rope. Both men down one rope break, but the luchadore sensation has the match going his way. Dropsault gets two! Leg lariat gets two! Juice kicks out twice in a row, but he used energy just kicking out, leaving him wide open for Mentiroso to hit the top rope! Mentiroso FLIES, spinning huracanrana sends Juice skidding across the mat and out of the ring! Gasato towels his man off on the floor, but WATCH OUT MENTIROSO --- fake out! Mentiroso spins in the ropes and back into the ring in a classic luchadore psyche-out HERE HE COMES! ELLLLL MENTIRRRRRRROSO! The splash took some out of Mentiroso, but he's doing better than Juice. Juice rolled into the ring, Mentiroso goes to the top rope. ELLLLL MENTIRRRRRRA GRRRRRANDE --- Juice runs up the turnbuckle and hooks an arm! Mentiroso tossed over Juice's head in something similar to a suplex. The jujitsu style effective there. Juice hits the ropes, TRIP. El Gato grabs Juice's ankle? The referee didn't see it, but he's looking questioning now as Juice yells at Gato. El Mentiroso takes his feet during this time, but he waits until Juice turns to face him before locking horns again. Mentiroso taken down by Juice, who's looking for the jujigatame! Mentiroso fights it off, he reaches out and grabs the bottom rope. Clean break made. Juice sends Mentiroso to the ropes, nails him with a vicious jumping knee to the face. Cover gets one, two, th--- Mentiroso's foot is on the ropes! Wait a minute... El Gato PUT his foot on the ropes! Gato just cost Mentiroso his final rope break. Mentiroso looks down at his charge, clearly confused. He turns around, Juice meets him with a take down again into a jujigatame! Mentiroso can't use the ropes this time, but watch him go! He rolls forward, Juice refusing to let go of the arm. Mentiroso flips over, disloding the grip just enough to slip free. Mentiroso hits the ropes, Juice is up, Mentiroso leaps up onto the man's shoulders! Spins around! THE JUGADOR! It connects, Mentiroso covers for ONE, TWO, thJUICEKICKSOUT! El Mentiroso can't believe it, but he's got to hit another one. He goes to the middle rope, Tornado DDT will knock Juice out, Juice doesn't go down, which leaves Mentiroso on his feet, Juice nails a knee to the gut, two more, then hooks a front-facelock. Grabs the trunks... lifts Mentiroso up by the neck and trunks to his left shoulder! SIT DOWN SPIKE PILEDRIVER FROM THERE! He calls it Ascension, and that's enough for ONE, TWO, THREE--- EL GATO! El Gato jumps in the ring and on top of Juice! Andrews calls for the bell, it's going to be Juice via disqualification. Juice flips Gato onto his fat ass and stiff knees him in the face, sending Gato spilling to the floor. In the ring, Mentiroso is still feeling the effects of Ascension, but he can tell something went very, very wrong...
The match starts with Mark Cage and Mr. Slick locking up. A knee from Mr. Slick breaks up the lock-up, giving Slick the upper hand. Slick with the Irish whip, Mark Cage hits the ropes and gets back body dropped by the challenger. Slick follows up with an elbow on the prone Cage, and locks in a sharpshooter. Slick is pulling back for all he's worth, weakening the legs and back of the TV champion. Cage is wincing in pain, but he's not going to give up that easily. Mr. Slick grabs the ropes for leverage, but the referee is there to notice and calls for Slick to break the hold. Slick gives it a good four count before releasing, as the fans show their displeasure. Slick get frustrated by the boos of the crowd and being told to release the Sharpshooter, and decides to take it out on Cage by stomping a mudhole into him. Cage grabs the leg of Mr. Slick, catching him off-balance, and pushes him to the canvas, buying himself some time. Chris Mason applauds on the outside, encouraging his client. Cage picks up Slick, and gives him a snap suplex. Slick's on the mat, catching his breath, but Cage won't let him. Cage stands over the downed Mr. Slick, and applies a front chancery on Mr. Slick. Mr. Slick's gasping for breath, as the crowd is cheering Cage, sensing another win for the TV champ. Mr. Slick is reaching for the ropes, and he's not that far away. But he's fading. He's fading. NO! Mr. Slick is inching towards that rope, ever so slowly. And he finally grabs hold. Cage is forced to break his hold, to his dismay. Slick's on the canvas, catching his breath, and Cage wants to finish this. Cage hits the turnbuckle, going for the top rope. Is it going to be a Cage Drop? Slick has some realization of what's happening, and gets up, as the crowd moans. Cage shrugs, and jumps from the top rope anyways. Crossbody from the top turnbuckle! Mr. Slick's down, Cage is on top of him. The ref slides over. One! Tw-KICKOUT by Mr. Slick. Slick scrambles to his feet, locks up and hits a backbreaker on Mark Cage. That's one way to make Cage lose his breath. Slick with the cover. One! Shoulder up by Cage. Slick's angry now, and he's shouting at the ref. Cage stands behind Mr. Slick as Slick is right in the referee's face, giving him whatfor! Slick, realizing that Cage isn't where he left him, turns around slowly, realizing his mistake. GERMAN SUPLEX! A suplex so mighty, Slick is thrown outside the ring! In pain, Slick rolls under the ring. The referee looks on, but suddenly Mr. Slick's friend TIM comes from the crowd and hops on the apron! He draws Henry Andrews attention while Mark Cage leaves the ring... Cage leaves the ring to find out where Slick went rolling. All of a sudden, Slick rolls back out onto his front, and Cage picks him up and pushes him back into the ring. Cage with the lockup, and it's a stalling brainbuster! He keeps Slick in the air for one, no, five, no, ten seconds! And then brings him down on his head! That's gotta be it! Cage with the cover. One! Two! THREE! Cage is still your television champion! The ref looks down on the dazed Mr. Slick, and all of a sudden, runs over to Frank Warburton. Cage is celebrating with the fans as Chris Mason pats his client on the back. Warburton announces that the match will continue. What? Cage and Mason confront the referee, who tells them that Mr. Slick is not Mr. Slick. And, as the camera pulls in, you see that while he sort of looks like Mr. Slick (muscular, shoulder-length black hair), he's a fake! Mason's arguing with the ref, as Mark Cage goes to the ropes in disgust. Up pops Mr. Slick from under the ring, with those damned brass knuckles of his! BAM! Cage eats metal and drops to the mat, as Mr. Slick gets in. Slick picks up the unconscious TV champion --- HARD DDT right in front of the ref! The ref drops to make a pin count. One! Two! Cage is out cold here... Three! We've got a new Television champion here in the form of Mr. Slick! Slick grabs his new belt, drags his lookalike out of the ring, picks up his brass knucks, and slaps five with Tim! Mr. Slick celebrates as he heads up the ramp with, well, Tim and the Mr. Slick double! Chris Mason tends to Mark Cage as we close the show... Mr. Slick is YOUR new Television Champion!
