EXTREME WARFARE ON MTV
FEBRUARY 3, 1996
(TAPED 1/29/1996)
OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM
LOS ANGELES, CA
AIRING ON: MTV
BROADCASTERS: JOEY STYLES & PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY
RING ANNOUNCER: BOB ARTESE
INTERVIEWER: MALIA HOSAKA

- JOEY STYLES and PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY open the show this week in the ring and run down tonight’s huge card featuring: Keiji Mutoh making his Xtreme Pro Wrestling debut against the Mexican star Heavy Metal, Val Venis facing off with “Dangerous” Dan Spivey and our main event pitting Sabu against The Fighting Irishman Dave “Fit” Finlay. Joey also announces that Taz is here – even after causing a disturbance in the last two episodes of Extreme Warfare. Paul E. Dangerously says his patience is running out when it comes to Taz and he knows Terry Funk feels the same way. Dangerously then moves on to announce that he and Mr. Funk have signed a major superstar to an exclusive contact to an Xtreme Pro Wrestling contract. He will announce that signing later in this very show! However, we start out tonight with a team match that pits two teams that really don’t endear themselves to the Xtreme Pro Wrestling fans.

Tag Team Match:
Mexico’s Most Wanted vs. Stevie Richards & The Blue Meanie

'Living After Midnight' by Judas Priest plays as Damien 666 and Halloween make their way down to the ring. Stevie Richards and the Meanie are out next, with Xtreme Heavyweight Champion Raven nowhere in sight. Stevie and Meanie are playing to the crowd with their annoying antics, when music begins to play over the public address system once again here in the Olympic Auditorium.





Bill Alfonso blows that annoying whistle as he leads The Human Suplex Machine Taz down to the ring! Taz interrupted last week, when he Taz Plexed Shiryu right out of Xtreme Pro Wrestling! Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie want none of this so they immediately clear the ring and leave through the crowd. Taz steps into the ring as Paul E. Dangerously is throwing a fit in the broadcast area. Taz motions for Damien 666 and Halloween to bring it on – so they comply!

Mexico’s Most Wanted double-team Taz and get some offense in, but soon he knees Damien in the gut. Taz then decks Halloween and drills him with a brutal T-bone Taz Plex! Damien is doubled over still and then leads Taz to plant him with a throw-away pumphandle Taz Plex! Taz has just cleared the ring of a very capable tag team. He then gets on the microphone and says he is not leaving this ring until either Paul E. Dangerously or Terry Funk give a match with Dan “The Beast” Severn!

Winners: No Contest

*The Human Suplex Machine Taz is holding this show hostage once again as he threatens to choke out Paul E. Dangerously. Finally, Xtreme Pro Wrestling commissioner Terry Funk makes his way down to the ring with security. Funk tells the security to stand outside the ring as he steps in with a microphone of his own. Terry tells Taz he got the message last week when The Human Suplex Machine attacked his protégé Mikey Whipwreck. Funk assures the fans that Mikey will be ready to face Louie Spicolli at CyberSlam ’96, but he has some bumps and bruises. Funk says he knows now that Taz wants to call his own shots around here – he gets that now. Taz answers that it seems like somebody finally has some intelligence here and barks at Funk to keep talking.

Terry Funk barks at Taz to let him finish what he was trying to say – which Taz doesn’t like very much. Funk knows that Taz wants a title shot and he wants a match with Dan Severn, the UFC champion. Terry is here to tell Taz… that he’s not getting either of those things! Taz is incensed as Funk rants that nobody will get what they want on his watch by cheap-shotting other wrestlers, committing backstage attacks and holding up the television show. Funk has a message for Taz – prove himself in the ring and maybe he will get what he wants. If Taz doesn’t like that or can’t do it – well, he is free to get the hell out of Xtreme Pro Wrestling right here tonight in Los Angeles!

Taz stands listening and finally holds up his arms and nods – indicating that he stands! Funk tells Taz to get the hell out of his ring right now. The Human Suplex Machine stands firm for a second and then goes to leave. Terry Funk then goes to make another announcement – but Taz comes behind, hooks Funk and belly-to-back Taz Plexes him! Taz just attacked Xtreme Pro Wrestling’s commissioner Terry Funk! Taz now locks in the Taz Mission! Paul E. Dangerously is frantic as he orders the security to hit the ring, but they cannot pull Taz off Funk! They finally manage to pull Taz after over a minute. Funk is unconscious on the canvas as Taz is dragged away by security. Paul E. Dangerously and medics tend to Terry Funk, who is not moving as we go to this commercial break!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

-Joey Styles is narrating alone as we come back to footage of Terry Funk being loaded into an ambulance. Paul E. Dangerously rides with Funk as he is driven out of the Olympic Arena in an ambulance. We go back to the arena where Joey Styles says somberly directly to the camera that somebody has to do something about Taz or he will destroy Xtreme Pro Wrestling from the inside out. Joey then announces that Hayabusa suffered an injury last week and will not be able to compete against Val Venis at CyberSlam on February 17. Styles confirms that a “mystery opponent” has been chosen to replace Hayabusa in his match against Venis on the internet PPV. He then sends us up to the ring to see the IWGP Heavyweight Champion Keiji Mutoh in action.

Singles Match: Non Title:
IWGP Heavyweight Champion Keiji Mutoh vs. Heavy Metal

Joey Styles reminds fans that Keiji Mutoh will be challenging International Heavyweight Champion Masa Chono at CyberSlam ’96. Only Chono’s title will be on the line in that match and the bout will be officiated by Dan “The Beast” Severn. Mutoh is out in his Space Lone Wolf attire and tonight he is going up against the very capable luchador Heavy Metal, a former Mexican National Welterweight Champion. Mutoh and Heavy Metal lock up, with the Mexican star getting in some shots early and scoring a near fall with a stomach-breaker.

Mutoh takes over when Heavy Metal misses a dropkick into the corner. The IWGP Heavyweight Champion lands a brutal kick to the side of Heavy Metal’s head and then connects with a huracanrana. Mutoh covers, but only gets the two count. Keiji is right back on heavy metal with a snap suplex and then a knee breaker. He holds onto the leg and applies the signature Muta Lock. Heavy Metal struggles, but he is in the center of the ring and has no choice but to tap. Keiji Mutoh motions that he is coming for Chono’s title after the bell.

Winner: Keiji Mutoh

- Val Venis and his manager Woman are once again interviewed by Malia Hosaka. Venis cockily tells Malia that he has no concerns about his mystery opponent for CyberSlam ’96. Woman smiles as she says there’s no man in Xtreme Pro Wrestling who can top Venis because stands all alone on the mountain of masculinity. Woman jokes that she used to be with a smelly old drunk – a man who is just like most of the fans – and now she is with the one man who can put all others to shame. And at CyberSlam ’96, Venis WILL put his opponent to shame. Venis and Woman share a lip-lock as we once again get a shot at the blonde woman in the front holding up her “MONEY SHOT ME VAL” sign as she stares seductively into the camera.



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- The #1 contender to the Xtreme Heavyweight Title – Ron Simmons – is standing by with Malia Hosaka. Simmons talks about how it’s all on the line for once again at CyberSlam ’96. He not only will be receiving his last-ever opportunity to be Xtreme Heavyweight Champion, but also will face leaving Xtreme Pro Wrestling he loses. Simmons says that as far as he is concerned, winning cannot be an option. Ron knows Raven will bend every rule. He knows Raven will try to get his minions to interfere. But at the end of the day, it won’t be enough. Raven couldn’t get the job done last week with all the help in the world and he won’t get it done on February 17. Ron ends by saying he will be playing Raven’s Rules at CyberSlam ’96, but nothing in those rules will stop him from whooping Raven’s ass from one side of Expo Hall to the other. Ron Simmons is going home to Florida to fulfill his destiny of becoming World Champion once again!

Singles Match:
Dan Spivey vs. Val Venis (w/ Woman)

The Big Valbowski and Woman are out first. Venis is all smiles until ‘China White’ by The Scorpions plays, ushering in the arrival of ‘Dangerous’ Dan Spivey. Spivey has a big match of his own at CyberSlam ’96 as he faces ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Gary Albright in a battle of the bullies. Spivey is intimidating as ever as he stares into the camera with those ‘crazy eyes’ of his. Spivey dominates Venis with his power early on as he slams and suplexes Val around the ring. Venis makes a comeback with a shot to the stomach and he is even able to get Spivey to the canvas with a gutwrench suplex.

Val then climbs to the top rope and motions for the Money Shot as his front row fan goes nuts. Woman doesn’t like it one bit as she sees Val gyrating while looking in the woman’s direction. Suddenly about ten seconds of a VERY FAMOUS heavy metal plays over the PA system, before cutting off. Venis looks confused, but quickly readjusts and leaps off the top rope… but all that extra time allowed Spivey to roll away! Woman is furious as Venis slowly gets back to his feet, only to get drilled with the Spivey Spike (Implant DDT)! Dangerous Dan makes the cover and he gets the three count! Woman stews outside the ring as Dan Spivey gets a big win heading into CyberSlam ’96.

Winner: Dan Spivey

* Joey Styles takes a call at ringside from Paul E. Dangerously, who updates the audience that Funk is just banged up and may have to take a few weeks off. He then issues a warning to Taz that he better think long and hard about his future – because he won’t have one if he ever tries anything like this again. Paul then goes on to make his promised announcement that Finnish heavyweight champion Tony Halme will be making his debut at CyberSlam. Joey puts over Halme’s time in All-Japan where he had hard-hitting bouts against Steve Williams and Scott Norton. Styles says this has been one major announcement, but Dangerously cuts him off. Paul E. says that’s only half – because the man he signed to face Halme is one of the biggest and baddest superstars on the US wrestling scene. Paul sends us to a VRT of Halme’s opponent and the newest Xtreme Pro Wrestling superstar – “The Beast from the East” Bam Bam Bigelow:





BAM BAM BIGELOW IS COMING TO CYBERSLAM '96!!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

- Let’s take a look at ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Gary Albright – who faces ‘Dangerous’ Dan Spivey at CyberSlam ’96:





Tag Team Match:
The Hit Squad vs. Super Tiger & Black Dragon

Togo and Teioh face a tough challenge for their match against Xtreme Tag Team Champions The Bad Breed at CyberSlam ’96, but first they have to get through Super Tiger and Black Dragon. Super Tiger and Dragon have words before the main – viewers saw these two last week have trouble in their bout. These two teams trade the momentum early on, but the real attention goes to the arrival of former WWF Tag Team Champions The Quebeccers (Jacque Rougeau and Pierre Carl Oulette). The two men taunt both teams and the crowd by waving the Quebec flag as they head over to the broadcast booth.

Rougeau and Oulette join Joey Styles at ringside, with Jacques talking arrogantly about being the best team in wrestling today. The match in the ring continues with Super Tiger and Black Dragon making several missteps. Super Tiger holds onto Teioh with Black Dragon goes for a super kick, but Dragon waits too long and ends up decking Super Tiger when Teioh moves. Teioh then tags out to Dick Togo, who comes off the top rope with a dropkick on Black Dragon. Togo then connects with a butterfly suplex to score the win!

Winner: The Hit Squad

- The Quebeccers then move into the ring after the match and begin taunting The Hit Squad, who look more than ready for a fight. The ring gets a little more crowded as Xtreme Tag Team Champions Axl & Ian Rotten make their way to the ring and begin jawing with The Hit Squad as well. Jacques Rougeau takes advantage and bashes Togo from behind with the flag pole. Mens Teioh turns around, only to get drilled by a clothesline from Pierre Carl Oulette. Axl and Ian go after the Quebeccers, but Jacques slams the flag pole into Axl Rotten’s stomach. Ian Rotten fights back, but Rougeau holds him from behind as Pierre bashes him in the gut with the flag pole. The Quebeccers now wave their flag and then take off, leaving all four other wrestlers on the canvas.



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- Joey Styles tells us after the commercial break that The Hit Squad and Xtreme Tag Team Champions Axl & Ian Rotten have both demanded a match with The Quebeccers. Hopefully, next week we can find out if either match will be signed. Styles then sends us to a VTR promoting the upcoming Death Match pitting CTU’s Atsushi Onita and Dave “Fit” Finlay against Sabu and Jushin Thunder Liger at CyberSlam ’96.

Main Event:
Dave “Fit” Finlay (w/ Gary Hart) vs. Sabu

This one is a brawl right away because Sabu takes the upperhand by jumping The Fighting Irishman on his way to the ring. Sabu suplexes Finlay on the entrance ramp and then climbs up to the top rope. Sabu launches himself off when Finlay gets back to his feet. The Fighting Irishman catches Sabu in midair and power-slams him on the ramp. Gary Hart points to the ring so Finlay grabs Sabu and throws him into the ring. Finlay puts the boots to Sabu and then drops a few elbows.

Finlay goes to put Sabu away early on with a tombstone pile-driver, but Sabu slips out and boots Fit in the gut. Sabu then slingshots off the ropes with a dropkick that knocks Finlay over. Gary Hart now signals to the back and here comes Atsushi Onita. Hart directs Onita to get on the apron as Finlay uses the distraction to attack Sabu from behind. Finlay goes to shoot Sabu off the ropes, but Sabu reverses and sends Fit colliding into his partner. Sabu then slams Finlay, and hits a springboard moon-sault to score the win out of nowhere!

Sabu rolls out to the floor after the match, where he is soon joined by partner Jushin Thunder Liger. Finlay is having a hit in the ring, claiming he was fast counted in the ring. Onita is rubbing his injured head as Gary Hart looks on and shakes his head in disgust.

Your Winners: Sabu

*This week’s show closes with the camera taking us to the bowels of the building, where Xtreme Heavyweight Champion Raven is sitting alone. Raven tells Ron Simmons that it looks as if the world is behind him. He says Simmons has always had support – the people cheered when he was nominated for the Heisman trophy. The people cheered when he won the WCW World Heavyweight Title. The people cheered when he won the #1 contender spot last week. “Well what about ME? What about Raven,” the champion shouts, before trailing off. Raven clears the hair out his eyes and says next week, he will show the world why Simmons has remained the challenger here in Xtreme Pro Wrestling, while Raven has been the champion for four months. Raven promises that he will get the last word before CyberSlam ’96 next week here on Extreme Warfare. Next week, Raven's Nest will ensure that Ron Simmons' dream is crushed. Quote the Raven, nevermore.

XTREME PRO WRESTLING presents:
EXTREME WARFARE
FEBRUARY 10, 1996
(TAPED 2/5/1996)
OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM
LOS ANGELES, CA
AIRING ON: MTV
BROADCASTERS: JOEY STYLES & PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY
RING ANNOUNCER: BOB ARTESE
INTERVIEWER: MALIA HOSAKA

- PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY opens this show alone in the ring. Dangerously talks about the shocking event that occurred last week, when Taz brutally attacked Xtreme Pro Wrestling president Terry Funk. Paul reveals that Terry Funk suffered a neck injury last week so he is not here tonight. So Dangerously will speak for Terry when he tells Taz that this garbage needs to stop.

It doesn’t take before ‘War Machine’ by Kiss plays and Taz makes his way down to the ring along with his manager Bill Alfonso. Taz gets on the microphone and says he heard somebody try to tell him what do to do last week – and that guy ended up in an ambulance. Taz looks Paul E. Dangerously right in the eye and asks Paul to try to give him an order one more time. All Taz wants from Paul E. Dangerously is match with Dan Severn – so make that match happen and this ends! Dangerously is timid, but he tells Taz that the match will never happen. Bill Alfronso tries to get Taz to back off as he corners Paul E. Dangerously, but Taz whips around and orders him to beat it.

Paul E. Dangerously knows better so that is why he has not come alone tonight – a dozen security guards hit the ring and surround. Taz doesn’t get a kick out of this at all as Paul E. Dangerously tells the security to throw his ass out of the build. Paul says he will do this to Taz every week until he figures out that these guerilla tactics won’t work. Taz is handcuffed, but we can here him shout that he is going to “f**k up” the PPV and every other Xtreme Pro Wrestling show until he gets what he wants. Dangerously looks concerned as he throws it up to Joey Styles.



Tag Team Match:
The Quebecers vs. The Outlaws

Joel Deaton and Billy Black are undefeated thus far in Xtreme Pro Wrestling, but tonight they face former WWF Tag Team Champions. Oulette and Black start this match off and trade some quick offense. Both men are incredibly agile for their size and they get to show that off in the opening moments.

The Outlaws get some good offense and score some near falls, but Oulette manage to trap Deaton on their side of the ring and work him over. The finish sees Jacques Rougeau hit a swinging neck breaker. He then tags Oulette, who comes off the top rope with a cannonball splash. Oulette make the cover for the three count as Rougeau holds off Joel Deaton.

Winners: The Quebecers

* We go backstage where Paul E. Dangerously is having security throw Taz out of the building. Taz promises Dangerously that he will be at CyberSlam ’96 next Sunday to “wreck his world”, but Paul tells Bill Alfonso that he’ll keep the Human Suplex Machine away from Tampa if he knows what’s best. Alfonso looks nervous that his man is going to far, but soon they are all interrupted by Mikey Whipwreck. Taz is handcuffed and being held by security as the usually timid Mikey Whipwreck gets in his face.

MIKEY WHIPWRECK: “Taz, I know I’m not the toughest. I know I’m not a Human Suplex Machine. And I probably wouldn’t even be here if you weren’t in handcuffs. But you ARE in handcuffs so I’m telling you to be real scared – because Terry is not going to let this go. He’s middle-aged and crazy – and he’s gonna kick your ass someday!”

Taz struggles to get free as Mikey gets in his face – and he decks Taz! Paul E. steps in as Taz tries like hell to break free. Paul E. orders Mikey to get lost as he tells security to get Taz the hell out of the building – and keep him out!



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- Malia Hosaka is standing by backstage with The Quebecers, who boast about laying out Axl & Ian Rotten and the Hit Squad last week and then beating The Outlaws tonight. They are soon interrupted by Axl Rotten and his brother Ian Rotten, who assure Malia that they aren’t here to fight. Axl tells The Quebecers that they wanted to get themselves a title match – well, they’ve done it because he has convinced Paul E. to make the title match on Sunday a Three Way Dance between the Bad Breed, the Hit Squad and the Quebecers. Jacques laughs and says “these dumb Americans” gave him everything they’ve wanted – and on Sunday, he and Pierre will take those Xtreme Tag Team Titles. Axl warns Jacques to get right to get his ass kicked all the way to the Great White North.



Singles Match:
Taka Michinoku vs. Damien 666

Taka is prepping for his match against his mentor the Word Light Heavyweight Champion the Great Sasuke at CyberSlam ’96. Damien and Taka go full force in this one, with Damien almost scoring a win early with a split-legged moon-sault. Damien goes to set Taka up with a running power-bomb, but Michinoku turns it into a hurricanrana.

Michinoku is back to his feet and hits a big dropkick, before climbing up to the top rope. He perches and connects with a flying cross body, for a near-fall. Damien 666 tries to rebound with some shots to the gut as Taka tries to pick him up. Damien goes for a Northern Lights suplex, but Taka spins out of it, boots him in the gut and plants him with the Michinoku Driver for the pin!

Winner: Taka Michinoku

- VTR: Raven is in the bowls of the building with Dancin’ Stevie Richards and Blue Meanie. Stevie hypes his match against Ron Simmons later tonight and promises to soften Simmons up for CyberSlam ’96 next Sunday. Raven doesn’t look at all interested, but he finally interrupts Stevie’s enthusiastic promises to beat Simmons by shoving him away. Raven tells Richards that whatever Stevie does in the match tonight won’t matter – Simmons has already been taken care of. Quote the Raven nevermore.



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger are in the ring after the break and Diamond takes the microphone.

SIMON DIAMOND: “Los Angeles, California – SIMON HAS A PROBLEM! You see, I happen to suffer a minor injury and the braintrust here in Xtreme Pro Wrestling decide to take me off the air completely while I heal. You would think these people would care about their television ratings! The good news is that Simon Diamond is back in action right here tonight. So what I’d like to do right now is challenge any tag team in the back to take myself and Johnny Swinger on… RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!”

Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond stand around for a few seconds, before music begins playing over the public address in The Olympic:





THE ELIMINATORS ARE HERE ON EXTREME WARFARE ON MTV!!!!!

Tag Team Match:
Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger vs. The Eliminators

Swinger and Diamond are stunned and they don’t any of Perry Saturn and John Kronus, but there is nowhere for them to go. Saturn and Kronus beat the hell out of Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger in what turns out to be a total squash. Kronus connects with a brutal sit-out power-bomb on Swinger, while Saturn comes off the top rope with a flying elbow smash on Diamond. The Eliminators both make pins on their opponents and get the double three count to win this one! Saturn and Kronus motion that they wants belts as the camera gets a shot of them after the match.

Winner: The Eliminators

* VTR: Let’s take a look at the man who will face Tony Halme at CyberSlam ’96 next Sunday:





BAM BAM BIGELOW IS COMING TO CYBERSLAM '96!!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

- Gary Hart and his CTU members Dave “Fit” Finlay and Atsushi Onita are standing by backstage with Malia Hosaska. Malia asks Hart if he is worried his men could be in trouble after Finlay lost last week to Sabu. Gary tells Malia that everyone saw that Sabu cheated and bent every rule to steal that win. Next Sunday, there will be no rules to break because it will be a Street Fight. Finlay snatches the microphone and says he’s come all the way from the seven counties and he’s not about to let a little pissant like Sabu get away with what he pulled last week. The Fighting Irishman promises to break Sabu at CyberSlam!



We go back to the arena, where some very familiar music begins playing in the Olympic Arena:





Singles Match:
Kamala The Ugandan Giant (w/ Friday) vs. Mikey Whipwreck

The monstrous Kamala storms around the ring as a very nervous Mikey Whipwreck slinks down to ringside. Mikey looks far less confident that he did earlier in the night when he decked Taz. Joey Styles remarks that somebody in Xtreme Pro Wrestling clearly has it out for Mikey Whipwreck because they keep signing him to face these monstrous. Kamala beats the holy hell out of Mikey early on by trapping him in the corner and chopping the hell out of the little guy. Kamala hurls Whipwreck to the ring and hits a big leg drop. Friday then points to the top rope, but it takes Kamala awhile to get up there. Kamala finally leaps off, but Mikey rolls out of the way of a big splash at the last second.

Mikey Whipwreck is slow to his feet, but has the fans on his side. Kamala wobbles up and lunges at Mikey, but the little guy kicks him right in the nuts! Kamala is doubled over so Mikey hits the ropes and connects with the Whipper Snapper! Mikey makes the cover and he somehow gets the three count! Mikey does it again! Whipwreck leaps out of the ring and celebrates like he just won the SuperBowl! He has huge momentum going into his match with Louie Spicolli next Sunday.

Winner: Mike Whipwreck

- We get a shot of that blonde fan at ringside who is once again holding the ‘Money Shot me Val Venis’ sign. This brings out Woman, who looks like she has had enough of this woman. Woman gets right in her face and tells her to find someone else to lure in with her act. Woman grabs this fan by her hair and tries to pull her over the rail, but security intervenes and separates the two women. Val Venis is out and he grabs a hold of Woman to lead her way, but does turn around to flash that sleazy grin to the blonde fan. Just as Venis and Woman are almost up the ramp, the lights go off and on a few times as a famous riff from a heavy metal song plays for about 10 seconds. Could this be some kind of message from Val Venis’s mystery opponent for CyberSlam ’96?



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- VTR: The Full Blooded Italians are standing inside JFK airport. Little Guido reveals that FBI are on their way to Hollywood to make their presence known in Xtreme Pro Wrestling. Guido once again promises that mamalukes in Xtreme Pro Wrestling will all sleep with the fishes if they try to get in the way of the FBI! The camera pans overs his shoulder where Disco is strutting, while a baggage attendant keeps pulling out more and more gold chains from Big Vito’s bag!



Stevie Richards and Blue Meanie are yucking it up in the ring as we come back from break and continue fooling around as the #1 contender to the Extreme Heavyweight Title – RON SIMMONS – makes his way down to the ring to ‘Return of the Mack’. He steps into the ring and asks for the microphone from Bob Artese.

RON SIMMONS: “You two bitches having fun? Well, I don’t think you’ll have too much fun in about five minutes Stevie Richards when I’m whoopin’ yo ass all over this ring! Before I get to giving you the beating yo mamma should have given you a long time ago, I gots something to stay to your master.

“Raven, I know damn well I am playing by your rules next Sunday. If I don’t beat you, I’m gone. I leave here in shame just like Sid Vicious did a few weeks back. Hell, this could be my last Extreme Warfare. I guess I should be emotional about that. But you know what? Naaaaaah! I don’t think so!

“See, Raven, first thing I do is whoop yo lackeys around this ring tonight. I give them a little taste – just a little taste – of what you have in store. Then, I roll my way into Tampa and then beat yo ass in front of all my people. I take all your damn Raven’s rules and I throw them back in your face, boy! See, that big gold belt your wearing has my name on it. And at CyberSlam ’96, it’s collection time!”

Main Event:
Ron Simmons vs. Dancin’ Stevie Richards (w/ The Blue Meanie)

Blue Meanie tries to attack Simmons from behind as he finishes speak and gets in a few shots, before Ron grabs his arm. Simmons pulls Meanie in and drills him with a short-arm clothesline. Now, Ron Simmons turns around and goes after Stevie Richards. Stevie begs off and pleads for mercy, all the while backing out onto the apron. Richards drops out to the floor as Simmons motions for him to get his ass back in the ring. There is a big commotion in the audience as the camera pans around behind Simmons to see THIS MAN running down the ramp and stepping over the top rope into the ring!

IT’S “PRIME TIME” BRIAN LEE!

We haven’t seen Brian Lee in close to two months, but we know that he has been a member of Raven’s Nest in the past. Simmons turns around, only to get a big boot to the face from Lee! Brian then grips Ron by the throat and pulls him up, but Simmons fights him off as the referee throws this match out. This one barely even got started before it was ruined by Raven’s Nest and their continued trickery!

Your Winners: Ron Simmons by disqualification

- Ron Simmons rocks Brian Lee with a series of right hands and then goes off the ropes, only to be tripped by Stevie Richards! Simmons spins around and tries to grab Richards, but Lee drills him with a brutal clothesline that sends Ron tumbling over to the apron. Richards gets in some shots as Lee rolls out to the floor and menaces Bob Artese to leave the ringside table. Simmons is trying to get up, but Richards throws him shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Simmons hobbles away, but walks right into the choke grip from Lee! Brian lifts Simmons into the air and choke-slams him right through the ringside table!



JOEY STYLES: “OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!”

Ron Simmons is laying on the broken remains of a table as Stevie Richards jumps up and down in glee. Brian Lee looks satisfied at his work as the Extreme Heavyweight Champion Raven makes his way out on to the ramp.

The Extreme Heavyweight Champion Raven simply looks straight into the camera and hits his crucifix pose! The shot fades out on Ron Simmons laying in the crumpled mess of a broken table.

Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously are standing in the middle of the ring in the Expo Hall to welcome us to the first-ever internet pay-per-view CyberSlam ’96. On this night, we will have a dual main event as Xtreme Heavyweight Champion Raven defends against Ron Simmons and International Heavyweight Champion Masa Chono puts his gold on the line against Keiji Mutoh! Paul E. Dangerously also reminds fans that the referee for the International Heavyweight Title match will be the UFC’s Dan ‘The Best’ Severn!

Things don’t much further before ‘War Machine’ by Kiss begins playing in Expo, which brings a very pissed of Taz and his manager Bill Alfonso down to the ring! Alfonso seems like he’s trying to talk sense to Taz, who completely ignores him as he charges into the ring and gets right in Paul E. Dangerously’s face. Taz looks like he is going to attack at any second here as Paul E. tries to back away, while Joey Styles immediately heads for higher ground. Taz finally rips the microphone away from Paul E. Dangerously!

TAZ: “Don’t move – don’t you f**king move, Paul! You take one freakin’ step and I will choke you out right here – right now! You understand me? Just who the hell do you think you are? You throw me out of the building two weeks in a row. Well, try again tonight – I dare you! Try to throw me out here.

“Because I ain’t afraid to choke YOU out. I ain’t afraid to choke each and every one of these nutless wonder security guards out and I don’t give a damn if I gotta choke each and every one of these people out. Then, I’ll go back there, drag Dan Severn out here by his mustache and then I’ll choke his ass out too!

“Because I can do it! Why? Because I’m Taz, the Human Suplex Machine, BEAT ME IF YOU CAN… SURVIVE.. IF I LET..”





IT’S TERRY FUNK!!!!! TERRY FUNK IS HERE TONIGHT IN TAMPA!!!!

This is the man that Taz brutally attacked weeks ago – but Terry Funk is back and it doesn’t look like he’s here on official business. Taz turns away from Paul E. and squares off as Funk storms down to the ring. Paul E. Dangerously races over to try to talk to Funk, who just brushes by him and begins hooking it up with Taz! The Xtreme commissioner and Taz are slugging away at each other here tonight! Taz hooks Funk and dumps him with a Taz Plex!

Taz is backing up! Taz is leaving!

Terry Funk has run Taz off here – but you have to believe this isn’t the last we’ve heard of these two men! Paul E. Dangerously enters the ring and seems to be telling Funk that a commissioner cannot act in this manner. But Funk just nods, taps him on the shoulder and raises his branding iron high in the air as we go to this VTR:

Spivey gets right in Albright’s face to start off the match, but Albright grabs the arm and takes the big man down with an arm bar. Albright switches and begins softening up the neck for the next several minutes.

Dan Spivey comes back after an elbow to the stomach and then a knee lift that sends Albright back into the corner.

These two man have faced each other several times in the last six months, with Spicolli winning most of the bouts. Mikey is coming huge wins over Sid Vicious and Kamala in recent weeks, but he looks hesitant as he faces off with his rival. Spicolli mocks Mikey in the opening moments as he uses his power to throw Whipwreck around the ring. Spicolli comes off the second rope with a big elbow smash that seems to soften Whipwreck up.

Louie soon signals for the end and gets Mikey up for the Spicolli Driver – but now he carries Mikey around the ring! Louie is showing off here, but it backfires as Mikey slips out and turns the move into a Whipper Snapper! Mikey covers and he gets the 1-2-3! MIKEY WINS AGAIN!

Match #4: Singles Match:
Val Venis (w/ Woman) vs. Mystery Opponent

Val Venis and Woman are out first and once again Venis notices that female fan carrying her ‘MONEY SHOT ME VAL’ sign. Venis stands ready with Woman rubbing his shoulders, while Bob Artese calls for the mystery opponent to come down. Nothing happens. Nobody comes out! Venis then snatches the microphone and demands that whoever signed the contract reveal themselves if they have any guts! Nobody comes out! Venis now smiles and says rightfully his opponent got cold feet so right now – he is going to give one lucky fan the show that every woman craves! Woman doesn’t like this, but Venis calls the blonde fan into the ring.

Venis calls her up and once in the ring, Val asks the woman here name. “Chastity,” she answers, leading Venis to joke that he’s about to ruin that! Woman doesn’t like this one single bit, but Venis goes into his stripping routine as he whips off his towel and begins dancing for both Woman and Chastity. A smiling and giggling Chastity now holds up her sign and as Venis approaches – she bashes him over the head with it! Down goes Venis! Chastity now rips the paper off her sign to reveal:



A STOP SIGN!!!!

Val Venis is down and dazed – what just happened? Woman goes after Chastity, but she gets bashed over the head with the sign as well and she is clean out! Chastity is laughing uncontrollably now and then she decks the fallen Venis with the stop sign again! Now, the heavy metal music begins playing again and Chastity points to a section of the crowd:

Sandman now calls for the bell from the referee – now we know who the mystery opponent is. Sandman winds up with the cane and as Val Venis pulls himself up, Sandman drills him with the cane upside the head!

Match 5: Xtreme Tag Team Title Match: Three Way Dance:
The Bad Breed vs. The Quebecers vs. The Hit Squad

This is one is fairly quick match, given that we have a packed card tonight. All three teams brawl all over the ring, with Jacques Rougeau almost scoring a pinfall after nailing Ian Rotten with the flagpole behind Jimmy Jett’s back. The Hit Squad have a spotlight moment when they come off the top rope with stereo missile dropkicks on Pierre Carl Oulette and Axl Rotten late in the match.

The finish sees Teioh and Togo go for a double suplex on Ian Rotten, but once they get him up, Oulette connects with a cross-body that takes them all out! Jacques Rougeau is then thrown out to the floor by Axl Rotten, who grabs Togo and connects with a DDT to score the pin! The Bad Breed retain the titles in this short, but action-packed match. Jacques Rougeau is indignant after the match, claiming the Quebecers were cheated because neither of them were pinned!

WINNERS: XTREME TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE BAD BREED

- Dancin’ Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie are positively gleeful as they tell Malia Hosaka will probably have to forfeit the title match tonight and leave Xtreme Pro Wrestling! ‘Prime Time’ Brian Lee steps into the picture and says if Simmons is dumb enough to actually wrestle Raven, he will personally make sure the title stays where it belongs.



Match #6: World Light Heavyweight Title match:
The Great Sasuke vs. Taka Michinoku

Joey Styles remarks how one should be quite interesting because Sasuke is the mentor of Taka Michinoku and learned much from the veteran. These two shakes hands and they lock up. Taka Michinoku shoots Great Sasuke off the ropes and drills him with a kick to the chest and he’s now signaling for a super kick. Just as he turns around, Sasuke is up and he drives his s shoulder into the back of Taka’s right knee, sending the challenger crumbling to the canvas. Sasuke is right on him, kicks Taka’s knee and then driving his leg drops into it. Great Sasuke focuses on Taka Michinoku’s knee for the next few minutes and now looks to apply the Single Leg Crab.

Taka Michinoku uses leverage to propel him off and Great Sasuke propels into the turnbuckle. Taka is slow to his feet, but he proceeds to grab Sasuke by the neck and connect with a belly-to back suplex. And now he’s signaling for a pile-driver and gets Sasuke into place. He lifts Sasuke up, but Sasuke blocks it and lands a shot to the stomach. Taka drops the move Great Sasuke is right on him to kick his leg out from underneath him. Great Sasuke goes to over grab Taka Michinoku, but Taka Michinoku is showing tremendous heart and he knocks Sasuke away with a knife-edge strike.

Taka tries to get to his feet, but he’s having trouble. Just then, Sasuke leaps up and rolls him into a victory roll. Jerry Calhoun makes the count for the 1-2-NO! Taka is able to kick out just in time! Sasuke doesn’t give up and he’s right back on Taka and now he picks him and connects with a dragon suplex. Sasuke lifts Taka up and goes to finish him with the Thunder Fire power-bomb, but somehow Taka Michinoku manages to turn it into a huracanrana. Sasuke is flailing around and Taka rolls him into a small package. Jerry Calhoun the count for the 1-2-NO!! Great Sasuke managed to kick out at the last second! Taka is slow to his feet and he chops Sasuke, but Sasuke drills him with the savate kick.

The Great Sasuke hits the ropes and goes for a spinning wheel kick, but Michinoku catches him and turns it into a sit-out power-bomb! Taka with the cover and he gets the 1-2-3! We have a new champion! Taka Michinoku has defeated his mentor to become the World Light Heavyweight Champion! Sasuke is dejected after the match, but he does raise Taka’s hand and the two share a hug. A symbolic passing of the torch, perhaps?

WINNER: NEW WORLD LIGHT HEAVYYWEIGHT CHAMPION TAKA MICHINOKU

- Malia Hosaka attempts to get an interview with the #1 contender Ron Simmons by knocking on his door. Simmons finals answers and we can see he his ribs and right shoulder are bandaged.

The Finnish superstar Tony Halme is no slouch, having been one of the top gaijin in New Japan in the early 1990s. Paul E.

All he cares about is fighting! ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hits and here comes the Beast from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow is here in XPW! Bigelow and Halme go nose-to-nose to start off and trade smack talk. Tony goes off the ropes for a shoulder-block, but Bigelow doesn’t budge. Halme tries it again, but nothing. Now Bigelow hits the ropes and tries the same, but this time Halme is knocked to the canvas!

These two are brawlers and we get plenty of punches, kicks and slams. But Bigelow also has a tremendous wrestling arsenal and he uses that to his advantage. Bam Bam connects with a big back-breaker for a near fall, but to his credit Halme is able to kick out. The finish sees Halme miss a flying shoulder block, which allowed Bigelow to bulldoze him with a lariat. Bigelow then goes out to the apron to connect with the slingshot splash! Bam Bam covers and he gets the three count for a successful debut here in Xtreme Pro Wresling! Bigelow gets on the microphone after the microphone and warns all XPW champions that the Beast from the East is coming for gold.

- VTR: Let’s take a look at the challenger for the International Heavyweight Title, the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Keiji Mutoh:





Match #9: International Heavyweight Title match
Special Referee: Dan ‘The Beast’ Severn
Masa Chono vs. Keiji Mutoh

Paul E. Dangerously is in the ring to start off and he introduces the special referee – the UFC’s Dan ‘The Beast’ Severn. The Beast makes his way to the ring and shakes hands with Paul E. Dangerously. Paul welcomes Severn to CyberSlam ’96 and also reveals that it’s time for a surprise announcement. Dangerously says tonight Severn will be a referee, but he is proud to announce that Severn has signed a contract to wrestle a match for Xtreme Pro Wrestling. Dangerously announces that The Beast will be in the ring at Heatwave ’96 on June 16! Paul says his opponent hasn’t been decided yet, but it likely will be one of the two singles heavyweight champions. Severn thanks Dangerously for the opportunity and then we move on to tonight’s title match between two of Japan’s top wrestlers.

Both men make their entrances and are met in the center of the ring by Dan Severn, who gives them some instructions. Once the bell is rung, the two lock up several times, before Chono takes the advantage with a chop to the throat. Chono then kicks Mutoh in the gut and sends him into the corner, where he lays into Mutoh with a series of chops. Severn steps in to tell Chono to let Mutoh of the corner and the champion complies. Chono hip-tosses Mutoh and connects with a sharp knee drop and then follows up with an knee on the neck. Chono goes for a second knee drop, but Mutoh moves out of the way and then catches Masa Chono with a brutal spinning kick to the face. Mutoh then comes off the ropes and connects with a bicycle kick, but it’s not enough to put away Chono this early in the match. Keiji Mutoh goes for the twisting neck-breaker, but Chono blocks it and shoots Mutoh backwards into the corner. Mutoh slowly comes out of the corner, but Masa Chono pulls him in and drops him with a samoan drop.

Masa Chono moves to focus on Keiji Mutoh’s back and right leg for several minutes and goes to grab his shoulder, but Mutoh pulls him into a backslide for a near fall by Dan Severn. Once they're back up, Keiji Mutoh catches Chono with a chop to the chest and then goes for the neck-breaker once again, but Chono blocks it for the second time. Chono changes the momentum and manages to plant Mutoh in a northern lights suplex that puts him down on the mat. Chono goes off the ropes and goes for a corkscrew elbow drop, but Mutoh rolls out of the way and Chono crashes into the canvas. Mutoh is quickly over and makes the cover, but somehow Chono manages to kick out just before Severn makes the three count! Mutoh picks Chono up and lifts him into the air, holds him for ten seconds, and then finally connects by driving Chono in a brainbuster! Keiji Mutoh covers Chono as Severn counts one…two… Chono slides his shoulder off the mat!

Keiji Mutoh then lands a leaping knee drop to forehead and makes the cover again, but again Masa Chono kicked out! Mutoh is not deterred and now he lifts Chono up and connects with a tiger suplex and then makes his way up to the second rope. Mutoh comes off and connects with flying leg drop and this time it should be over, viewers! Mutoh makes the cover and referee Dan Severn makes the count for the one-two-NO!! THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION MASA CHONO KICKS OUT AGAIN! Mutoh is up now and perches, before kicking Masa Chono flush in the face. Mutoh then goes up to the top rope once again this time he dives off with a knee drop, but Chono rolls away again. Chono is back up to his feet now and he grabs the right leg. Chono going for the STF now! He tries to twist over to lock in the hold, but Mutoh shoves him off. Chono collides chest first into the turnbuckle and wobbles out into a hurancanra! Mutoh cover, but again Chono kicks out before Severn gets to three.

Mutoh signals for the end now and climbs up to the top rope for the moon-sault, but he is slowed by that knee injury. This allows Chonot to get up and deck Mutoh with a right hand. He then lifts Mutoh off the top rope and connects with a jumping knee-breaker! Mutoh is stuck in the center of the ring as Chono keeps a hold of the knee and now he applies the STF! Severn is checking with Mutoh, who tries everything he can to power out! It’s no use, but Mutoh now tries to slide towards the ropes. It doesn’t happen – Mutoh is stuck in the center of the ring! Chono has the STF locked in tight and finally Mutoh has no choice but to tap out! Chono defeats his long-time rival. Dan Severn now grabs the International Title and he hands it to Chono. These two go face-to-face here – could they be facing off at Heatwave ’96? Severn finally steps away and leaves the ring as Chono celebrates his huge win!

WINNER: INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MASA CHONO

- Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously shows us highlights from a dark match pitting The Outlaws against the new team of Lion’s Pride (Hiroshi Hase and Nobuhiko Takada). We see the be finish with Takada using a roundhouse kick to score the win. Both announcers mention that Takada and Hase could be major contenders for the Xtreme Tag Team Titles in the near future.

Match #10: Extreme Heavyweight Title match: Raven’s Rules
Raven (w/ Raven’s Nest) vs. Ron Simmons

‘Bring the Noise’ by Public Enemy and Anthrax plays – the new theme music for the #1 contender Ron Simmons! This may be the only time he uses it because if he loses tonight, Simmons will be forced to leave Xtreme Pro Wrestling. ‘Come Out and Play’ by Offspring hits next and here comes the Xtreme Heavyweight Champion Raven along with his lackeys Dancin’ Stevie Richards, Brian Lee and the Blue Meanie. Richards gets on the microphone before the bell and says he can’t want to see Raven end Simmons’ career in front of his beloved Florida fans. Simmons is heavily bandaged after being choke-slammed through a table by ‘Prime Time’ Brian Lee last weekend on Extreme Warfare. He looks cautious here, but he will have to put it all on the line if he wants to win.

Simmons and Raven are tense in the opening moments here, with neither man wishing to make a mistake. Raven takes Simmons down to the canvas and applies a vice grip around Simmons’s head and right arm, but Simmons breaks the hold by looping his legs around and throws him off. As they get up, Simmons gets up and connects with the running shoulder block that sends Raven tumbling backwards. Simmons then takes control for the next few minutes and scores a series of near falls. Raven slides out to the floor to try to regroup, but that’s a bad move as Ron Simmons comes off the apron with a flying clothesline that catches Raven on the floor. The fans are going nuts as Simmons plays up his offensive run.

The challenger now picks up Raven and slams him back-first into the steel turnbuckle, before hurling the champion down to the concrete floor. Ron Simmons slides back into the ring and raises the roof as Raven is struggling to his feet. Raven finally gets to the apron, only to be suplexed back into the ring. Brian Lee now gets up on the apron to argue with referee Jimmy Jett. Blue Meanie and Stevie Richards now sneak into the ring, but Simmons sees them coming, hits the ropes and drills them both with a double clothesline. Meanie and Richards fall out to the floor as Raven tries to pull himself to his feet. Simmons now grabs Raven, lifts him up and now presses the Extreme Heavyweight Champion above his head.

Ron Simmons now military presses Raven a few times and then throws him halfway across the ring. That might have been a mistake because now Simmons is favoring his shoulder. Simmons tries to shake it off, but now he’s been drilled from behind by Brian Lee. Joey Styles says this is disgusting – there’s no way Simmons can get a win if he keeps getting jumped from behind. Paul E. Dangerously plays devil’s advocate by mentioning that Simmons knew what he was agreeing to before signing on for the match. Lee is now pounding on Simmons’ injured ribs and now he throws him out to the ring. Lee steps out himself and now he is going to choke-slam Simmons off the apron and throw a ringside table. Lee pulls Simmons up and he grips him but there’s a commotion! The camera pans to the ring to show THIS MAN running down to the ring:



IT’S RON SIMMONS’ FORMER PARTNER – ‘HACKSAW’ BUTCH REED!!!!!!

Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously are marking out as Butch Reed darts into the ring and drills Raven with a flying shoulder-block! Brian Lee turns around and now Butch Reed decks him with a clothesline! Lee goes flying off the apron through the ringside table! Simmons drops to the apron as Butch Reed helps him up and tells him that he will have his back! Stevie Richards and Blue Meanie roll back into the ring, but Reed decks them both. Meanie rolls out to the floor as Reed picks Richards up, presses him up into the air and presses him over the top rope and down onto Meanie! And now – he looks at Simmons and points at ringside.

Raven drops to his knees and is begging for mercy as Ron Simmons gets up and stalks him. Simmons decks Raven, then pulls him up. Raven fights back with some shots to the injured ribs, but Simmons knees him in the gut! Simmons now pulls Raven in and power-bombs the hell out of the Extreme Heavyweight Champion! Simmons goes for the cover and he gets the one-two-thre- NO!! NO!!!! Raven kicks out at the last second. Simmons is up now, scoops up Raven and drives him into the canvas for the one-two-thre- NO!!!!! NO!!! Raven kicks out again!

Butch Reed is signaling for Simmons to finish off Raven so Ron pulls Raven up, shoots off the ropes and DRILLS HIM WITH THE SPINE-BUSTER!!!! Ron makes the cover and Jerry Calhoun makes the count for the 1-2-3!!!!! IT’S OVER!!!! RON SIMMONS WINS THE EXTREME HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!!!! SIMMONS ENDS RAVEN’S FIVE-MONTH RUN WITH THE TITLE!!!! Butch Reed is in the ring after the match and he hands Ron Simmons the title belt! The fans are going nuts as Reed and the referee raise Ron’s hand!!! Simmons is overwhelmed and holds the title belt high as Raven slinks out to the floor and angrily shakes his head. The camera surveys Richards and Meanie down at ringside and the unconscious Brian Lee laying on a broken ringside table. Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously hype this major event as the camera closes in on Simmons holding up the gold as we end this PPV!

BROADCASTERS: JOEY STYLES & PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY
RING ANNOUNCER: BOB ARTESE
INTERVIEWER: MALIA HOSAKA

- PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY and JOEY STYLES are in the ring to open this edition of Extreme Warfare. Joey and Paul E. hype that the brand new Extreme Heavyweight Champion Ron Simmons will be here tonight. Paul E. also announces that Raven has declined an opportunity at an automatic rematch with Simmons so on March 17 at Extreme Warfare: Fight Night we will have an Extreme Rumble match where ten top contenders will attempt to outlast one another to earn a title match against Simmons at XPW’s next pay-per-view event Barely Legal ’96 on April 21 live from Philadelphia! The broadcast team are interrupted by ‘Perfect Strangers’ by Deep Purple beginning to play over the public address! Joey looks stunned as THESE TWO makes their way down the ramp:





IT’S SHANE DOUGLAS & HIS VALET FRANCINE!!!!

The audience are on their way to the ring as Shane Douglas and Francine strut their way down to the ring. Shane Douglas stands back and lets Francine strut down the center of the ring and then turns around to snatch the microphone out of the hand of Joey Styles.

Shane Douglas: “Joey Styles – it’s been a long time! But all I need you to do right now is do what you do best – stand back and catch some flies with that mouth of yours. As far for you Paul E. Dangerously, I know you wanted to make some big announcement about Shane Douglas coming to Xtreme Pro Wrestling, but I’m the kind of guy who doesn't like waiting around.

“Now Paul, I heard your other big announcement. The Extreme Rumble sounds like one hell of a match. So I’m just going to go ahead and assume that Shane Douglas will be one of the participants in this match! Ron Simmons is real tough and all, but let’s face it. He’s not Shane Douglas. I’m a one-of-kind star in this sport. I’m a franchise player! And starting tonight, I’m HERE in Xtreme Pro Wrestling!

“I’ve held the International Title match, I’ve held the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Those belts don’t mean crap to me! The belt I want is the Extreme Heavyweight Title because I am the true Extreme Superstar. So I don’t care if I have to go through Sabu or Raven or Ron Simmons – that belt is coming to me. Anyone who stands in my – consider yourself warned – you will get your ass franchised! Back to you two clowns!”

Shane Douglas tosses the microphone and poses with Francine as Paul E. Dangerously shakes his head in disgust. Joey Styles is still shocked by this whole scene – but apparently it’s true, Shane Douglas has become the latest Xtreme Pro Wrestling superstar.

Singles Match:
Sabu vs. Pierre Carl Oulette (w/ Jacques Rougeau)

Sabu is coming off a big win at CyberSlam ’96, but he’s right back in the fire tonight as he phases the very imposing Pierre Carl Oulette of the Quebeccers. Oulette attacks Sabu as he enters the ring and hits a series of slams and suplexes. Jacques Rougeau gets on the apron to grab Sabu in the final moments of the match, but Sabu moves out of the way from an Oulette clothesline and the Quebeccers collide. Sabu then hits a leaping DDT on Oulette and hits a moon-sault off the top rope to score the three count. Sabu gets a big win!

Winners: Sabu

- The Sandman and Chastity join Malia Hosaska for an interview backstage. Malia asks Chastity if she was setting up Val Venis and Woman each time she appeared on Extreme Warfare? Chastity tells Malia that all she needs to know is that Sandman is all man – and Val Venis is now on his way back to Canada and Woman has taken the first train to Atlanta. The interview is interrupted by The Fighting Irishman Dave Finlay, who shouts that he is sick and tired of hearing how ‘hardcore’ The Sandman is. Finlay says HE is the real hardcore superstar and he will be happy kick the piss out of Sandman in any arena in this country. Sandman takes a drag off his cigarette, smiles slyly at Chastity and then bashes Finlay over the head with his Singapore cane. Finlay flops to the floor as Sandman chugs a beer and walks off with Chastity.



COMMERCIAL BREAK

- We come back to the backstage area where former Extreme Heavyweight Champion Raven is sitting in the boiler room. He is approached by his Nest and Stevie Richards tells Raven to cheer up!

Raven tells Stevie that by the end of the night, he will have gold around his waist again! Raven then turns to ‘Prime Time’ Brian Lee and tells the big man to make sure he delivers tonight! Meanie tries to pipe up, but Raven swings around and slugs him. Quote the Raven… nevermore!



Singles Match:
Taz (w/ Bill Alfonso) vs. Black Dragon

The Human Suplex Machine looks more pissed off than usual as he stands arms folded in the corner through the introductions. Black Dragon is hesitant and when he finally moves towards Taz, he gets immediately caught and drilled with a T-Bone Taz Plex. Black Dragon is then locked in the Taz Mission and taps out in just a few minutes. Taz has just annihilated the very capable Black Dragon in under one minute.

Winner: Taz

- Taz gets on the microphone after the match and says he is not leaving the ring until Paul E. Dangerously gets off his fat ass and gives him a match with Terry Funk. Dangerously refuses to come to the ring, leading Taz to threaten that he will drag Paul and Joey Styles into the ring and choke them both out if they don’t give him what he wants. Taz is interrupted by XPW President Terry Funk and his protégé Mikey Whipwreck on ExtremeVision (TitanTron). Funk tells Taz that he has been in meetings all week with Xtreme Pro Wrestling who say he cannot wrestle Taz while holding a position of power. So the simple solution is for Terry Funk to quit as XPW President and step back into the ring! Funk tells Taz not to worry – his last act was to sign a match between himself and Taz on March 17 on Extreme Warfare: Fight Night!

Terry Funk also promises to announce his replacement as XPW President right here next week – it’s someone that the fans know and trust. The cameraman cuts to Paul E. Dangerously, who appears to smile knowingly. Taz tells Funk that he’s glad to see he still has a pair of nuts – but that won’t stop Terry from getting his ass choked out in this very ring. The Human Suplex Machine vows to end Terry Funk’s legendary career at Extreme Warfare: Fight Night because he's Taz, the Human Suplex Machine. Beat him if you can, survive if he lets you! Funk says he’s heard a lot of people say that – but he’s still here and he’s still middle-aged and crazy. Taz turns his attention to threatening Paul E. Dangerously once again, but Bill Alfonso seems to be trying to get him to calm down as we go to break.

Singles Match:
Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Super Tiger

This is something of a historic match as the most successful and innovative wrestler of the 1980s Super Tiger faces off against his 1990s predecessor. Liger and Super Tiger show tremendous respect as they shake hands before the bell and really keep it clean in the actual match. These two point on a light heavyweight wrestling clinic either filled with many near-falls. Liger appears ready to go for the Liger Bomb, when the time limit expires. Super Tiger and Liger raise each others arms in the air after the match – could we see a rematch with a longer time limit?

Winner: Time Limit Draw

- Shane Douglas and Francine are interviewed leaving the building, when Malia Hosaka catches up with them. Douglas tells Hosaka that it’s just been made official – he will be in the Extreme Rumble! So that means that the Xtreme Heavyweight Title will be coming to him! Douglas is then interrupted by Bam Bam Bigelow, who tells Shane that it’s been a long time since they’ve seen each other. Douglas smiles that big smile of his and says he saw CyberSlam and was glad to see Bigelow is still that same Beast from the East he’s known since they worked in WCW together many years ago. Bigelow tells Shane that Douglas has done well for himself since then – but if Shane stands in his way of winning the Extreme Heavyweight Title, well, all their history will go out the window. Douglas’ smile fades, but then he cheers up again and says he is sure he and Bigelow can both be very happy here in XPW. Shane wishes Bigelow well and leaves with Francine as the camera pans in on Bigelow’s extremely intense expression.



COMMERCIAL BREAK

Simmons shakes hands with the fans around ringside, while Butch Reed slides into the ring. Styles and Paul E. Dangerously both congratulate Simmons on his big win over Raven. Ron says he told everyone that he would roll into Tampa, whoop Raven’s ass and take the title belt. And here he is – the brand new Extreme Heavyweight Champion. Simmons talks about going through hell to get this title belt – and promises he will put all of his opponents through hell.

Paul E. Dangerously then mentions that Shane Douglas cut him off earlier when he was speaking about the Extreme Rumble. Paul announces that each wrestler will get to bring the weapon of their choice into the match with them. The last man standing will face Ron Simmons for the Extreme Heavyweight Title at Barely Legal ’96. Paul says Shane Douglas spoiled a surprise by announce his involvement in the match, but the nine other competitors will be announced NEXT WEEK here on Extreme Warfare. Butch Reed butts in and says it doesn’t seem very fair to him that Ron Simmons won’t know who his opponent is for several weeks, but he knows Ron will beat whoever the suits at XPW throw in his way.

Joey Styles says he thinks Butch Reed might be making assumptions there, but Reed tells Styles he didn’t mean anything bad by it. That’s just that way it is for a strong black men these days. Simmons butts in now and tells Joey Styles that he has no problems with the Extreme Rumble. He took on the entire Raven’s Nest and came out victorious so he can take on anyone! The end result at Barely Legal ;96 will be Ron Simmons having his hand raise and handed that bet once again. Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously both thank Ron Simmons and Butch Reed for joining them and then send us to a VTR promoting Extreme Warfare: Fight Night.



Singles Match:
Little Guido, Big Vito & Disco Inferno vs. Blitzkrieg, Billy Black & Joel Deaton

The Full Blooded Italians make their televised debut against the mismatched team of Blitzkrieg and the duo of Black and Deaton. This is far from a squash as all six men get opportunities to shine throughout the match. The finish sees Little Guido catch Blitzkreg when the masked man came off the top rope with a twisting splash. Guido turns it into a brutal backbreaker and then connects with the Sicilian Slice to score the pin-fall! The FBI make quite a first impression. The trio attempt to continue attacking Blitzkrieg after the match, but Billy Black and Joel Deaton run them off and stand all.

Winner: Little Guido

‘Come Out and Play’ by The Offspring plays as Stevie Richards and the Bluea Meanie down to the ring, while Raven slowly follows behind Stevie. The champion are out next, but ‘Prime Time’ Brian Lee surprises them from behind and drills both members of the Bad Breed. The bell hasn’t even rung as Lee boots Axl Rotten and then grips Ian Rotten by the throat! Lee lifts Ian high into the air and choke-slams off the ramp through a table down below!



JOEY STYLES: “OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!”

Richards and Meanie now pounce on Axl Rotten and toss him into the ring. Axl tries his best to fight back and does manage to work over both Stevie and Blue Meanie. Axl hits a power-bomb on Meanie and then turns around just to get drilled by a lariat from Raven! Raven is now stomping Axl with fury like we have never seen from him before. Raven uses the ropes to choke Axl Rotten and now he pulls Rotten up.

Raven throws Rotten’s tag team title into the canter of the ring and hits the Raven Effect DDT right on the belt. Raven covers and the referee counts the academic three count! Raven’s Rules strike again and return championship gold to the waist of former Extreme Heavyweight Champion! The camera pans over to Ian Rotten who is being attended to by medics as Stevie Richards runs around the ring with his title belt. Raven soon shoves him down, grabs both belts and takes off up the ramp!
