Match Summary: Round 2 #1 Contender Tournament
Rob Terry VS. Magnus

Terry and Magnus shake hands while delivering some abuse to the crowd. Reluctantly they lock up. The hatred for the two is over-powering and the match is shit on by the live crowd. Rob Terry scores the victory with a softer-than-usual chokeslam which drives the fans into a rage. Rob Terry moves on to the finals after a, perhaps purposefully, lackluster match.
4 minutes 23 seconds

[The Miz appears at the entrance way in an elaborately awesome 80s style outfit and a mic’ in his hand.]

Miz: All of my dreams have finally…come…true. The Miz, the Awesome one, headlines…Madison Square Gardens. And it could not have happened to a more deserving person than myself [the arena echoes with boos] Oh, you people might think you know the names of wrestlers who deserve this honor more than myself but, behind your delusions there is that deep sinking realization that I am everything I said I was and more.

Rhino fought through the roster to get here…[cheers] but, name one legitimate contender for my title that he knocked out. You can’t. While he was busy leveling the mid-card talent I was busy defending my title against the only former DWW World Champion in the company Rey Mysterio [cheers] and wiping that smug look off his stupid little immigrant face [massive boos.]

While Rhino was smashing people’s skulls with furniture, I was ending the career of Jeff Fucking Jarrett. And when he was preparing for the biggest match, before tonight, I was mopping the floor with John Morrison, who I might add is going to be fighting for the second most prestigious titles in the company tonight.

So yes, Rhino passed the “test”, he “earned” a shot at my title. He did it by mastering mediocrity while I destroyed my competition. He even, some would say, did it with ease. I could have walked down to that ring at any time during Rhino’s “Anything Goes” matches and changed the course of history. I could have derailed his title chase any time I wanted to but, I didn’t. Maybe, before walking out tonight, Rhino should ask himself one single question. Why?

[The Miz drops the mic and exits to a raucous round of boos.]

JJ: Definitely something Rhino should consider going into his match tonight.
Joel Gertner: We have Bourne and Homicide facing off next, should be a hell of a match.
JJ: Two of the best in the business, Joel. This match is going to decide who will face Rob Terry in the finals and who will go home one step farther from the DWW World Title.


Match Summary: Round 2 #1 Contender Tournament
Evan Bourne VS. Homicide

Homicide comes to the ring first and attacks Bourne as he enters the ring. The two have an incredibly fast-paced back-and-forth match up with nearly a dozen near falls. MVP comes out during the last half and tries to make trouble but gets blind-sided by Rey Mysterio who puts MVP out with a steel chair. Homicide is caught with a school boy during the distraction and Bourne walks out the winner. Rey Mysterio puts MVP onto a table, climbs the top turnbuckle and nails a frog splash through it to end the struggle. Mysterio turns to face Homicide and the chase to the back begins.
9 minutes 21 seconds

[Rob Terry comes out to the entranceway.]

Rob Terry: I just want to know one thing, Evan. How are those ribs doing?

[Bourne wears an expression of confusion as Magnus, in street-clothes, hops the guard-rail and sneaks up with a steel chair in hand and begins to brutally assault Evan Bourne. The fans lose it, tossing trash into the ring as Rob Terry just watches his partner take out his would-be opponent. With Bourne down, both men exit and Bourne is left to limp his way up the entrance-way.]

JJ: Just despicable actions from a man who may very well be our next #1 DWW World title Contender. Just makes me sick.

Joel Gertner: We’ll keep the fans updated but, it’s now time for the first title defense of the night.

Match Summary: DWW World Tag Team Title Ladder Match
MCMGs VS. The Bogus Journeys VS. “The Most Charismatic…”TMC come out first dressed in gold tinted fur coats and tights, the fans are really into them.

The BJs nearly stumble down the entrance way much to the delight of the fans. Wearing blood red matching tights.

MCMG come out to massive approval wearing matching black tights.

Out come the ladders, placed all around the ring, each team eyeing them warily. The bell is rung and the match starts off rather calmly. Each team designates a single man to approach the center of the ring, the partner staying back in a chosen corner. London, Sabin and Kofi start things off, circling each other while the giant MSG crowd awaits the opening moves."

London grabs Kofi in a headlock and Sabin nails a roundhouse kick to Kofi, London follows that with a bulldog then gets caught with a German suplex by Sabin. Suddenly, Morrison rushes in and sends Sabin flying out of the ring with a drop-kick. Kendrick hits a Russian legsweep on Morrison as he gets to his feet, and Shelley hits a springboard moonsault onto both Kendrick and Morrison.

Sabin recovers on the outside and slides a ladder into the ring. London hits a dropkick to the ladder sending Sabin crashing into the guard rail. Kofi whips London into a corner and follows it up with a shining wizard. Shelley hits a DDT onto Kofi then sets up the ladder. Morrison from behind with a full-nelson back-to-belly suplex on Shelley then up the ladder. Kendrick grabs a leg and hits a tornado power bomb off the ladder. London climbs the ladder and it’s Sabin with a missile drop-kick to the ladder from the top turnbuckle sending London flying out of the ring. Kofi rolls out of the ring and grabs a second ladder. Morrison rolls out and joins him.

Sabin re-sets the ladder and pulls Shelley to his feet as Kendrick goes to the outside to revive his team-mate. Sabin begins to climb with Shelley defending, Kofi and Morrison charge him with the second ladder only for Shelley jumping through the ladder rungs unscathed. When Kofi and Morrison realize what happened Kendrick and London are back in the ring nailing twin neckbreakers. Sabin is reaching for the belts now and finds himself flying through the air thanks to London and Kendrick. Shelley nails a spinning wheel kick on Kendrick but ends up suplexed onto a fallen ladder by London. Kofi and Morrison set up a ladder on the outside, Kofi climbs it and hits a missile dropkick on London, Morrison climbs the outsider ladder and then nails a variation of Starship Pain off the ladder and onto Kendrick.

Morrison re-sets the in-ring ladder and ascends with Kofi defending. Sabin from the outside tosses a steel chair into the ring and nails Kofi in the face. Morrison begins unhooking the belts now as Shelley hits a dropkick to the ladder, Morrison bails out and lands neatly in the ring. Sabin slides in and nails Morrison with a clothesline from behind. MCMG places a ladder between the ropes in a corner before grabbing Morrison and double-whipping him into the corner for an unpleasant surprise. London gets to his feet just in time for a double-superkick from MCMG. Kendrick sets up the steel chair and uses it as a launching pad for a suicide cross-body that puts himself and MCMG over the top rope and to the outside.

Kofi re-sets the ladder, struggling to stand now, and begins to climb the ladder. The lights go out. When they return Kofi is on his knees, blood pouring out from his mouth and standing before him is Tajiri with the strange Japanese symbol painted on his forehead. Brutal Buzzsaw Kick! John Morrison is being lifted for a powerbomb by Masato Tanaka (also bearing the mark), he sends Morrison outside onto the concrete. The fans are in shock. Kendrick tries to attack Tajiri but gets the Green Mist in his face for the trouble and London finds himself knocked out by a wild clothesline by Tanaka. The fans are supremely pissed. Suddenly MCMG are in the ring and it looks like Tajiri and Tanaka are going to suffer for their sins. Sabin and Shelley launch across the rings and…stop short, shaking the hands of both Tajiri and Tanaka. The two help them set up the ladder and they climb and retrieve the DWW Tag Team Titles to the hate-filled boos of the crowd.
16 Minutes 12 seconds

[MCMG and stand with Tajiri and Tanaka who raise up their hands in victory. Cut to the announce table where Jarrett is in complete shock. ]

JJ: I can't believe what I just saw. The Murder City Machine Guns just got the titles handed to 'em by two hired guns.

Joel Gertner: It's a strange team-up if you ask me. I wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the fact that both men had teamed up in Japan over the last few months.

JJ: I'm getting word that Evan Bourne is going to come out, apparently there's something he wants to tell the fans.

[Bourne, his ribs taped up, slowly comes out to the ring and carefully slides in. He pulls the mic to his lips.]

Evan Bourne: I just wanted to come out and tell you guys that I'm sorry.

JJ: Oh no...

Evan Bourne: The last thing I wanted to do tonight was to let you people down. I never thought I'd get so close to winning this thing and have to give it up. That's why I have to apologize...to Rob Terry and Magnus. You want this win, you're going to have to earn it!

[The crowd cheers and Rob Terry, Magnus and Daffney suddenly appear at the entrance. Bourne drops his mic and puts his fists up. As the trio near the ring the ref jumps down and throws Magnus and Daffney out of the match. Rob Terry is irate as he is forced to part ways with his partners.]

Match Summary: Final Round #1 Contender Tournament
Rob Terry VS Evan Bourne

Evan Bourne locks up with Terry as the bell is rung and finds himself the victim of an abdominal stretch followed by some rough elbows to the ribs. Bourne is hurting early on in the match and Terry takes full advantage. Terry lifts Bourne to his feet then goes for a double-arm choke-slam only for Bourne to nail a desperation jaw-breaker. Terry is dazed, Bourne fights through the pain and makes his way to the top rope. AIR BOURNE! and Bourne is in agony now. He makes a super-slow crawl before collapsing onto the chest of Terry.

Terry tosses Bourne into the air before the ref can count to one. The fans are booing mercilessly as Terry gets to his feet laughing. "That all you got you cunt?" Terry pulls Bourne to his feet and destroys him with a powerbomb. The fans are in completely disgust now as Terry points to the ceiling and again pulls Bourne to his feet. Bourne is cluting his ribs as he is lead to the corner and places on the top turnbuckle. Terry signals for the chokeslam and wraps his giant hand around Bourne's neck. Bourne is standing for the chokeslam and...it's almost over now! DIAMOND CUTTER OFF THE TOP ROPE! MSG is on its feet now as Bourne crawls over and again makes the pin. 1,2,3. Evan Bourne is your new #1 Contender for the DWW World Title. The fans are chanting his name as the ref helps him to his feet and raises his arm in victory.

[Evan Bourne takes the mic and, overcome with emotion begins his post-match speech.]

Evan Bourne: Thank you! Momma, I love you, I made it. I finally made it! This is my time...thank you all, I love you!

[Highlight reel of Rhino's victories and The Miz standing over Rey Mysterio. Played to "March of the Pigs" by NIN. The video ends with The Miz and Rhino staring each other down after the match with Jarrett.]

JJ: Well, tonight has proven that anything is possible. Will Rhino go home the DWW World Champion?

Joel Gertner: Or will he walk out less of a man?

[Suddenly Jimmy Urine and his band Mindless Self Indulgence appear at a specially designated stage a little off to the ring entrance. They start to play "Here Comes the Pain" by Method Man and the lights dim. Rhino emerges in what seems like a sea of fire. The fans explode with excitement.]

Match Summary: DWW World Title Match
Rhino VS. The Miz

Rhino stands brooding in the center of the ring while Mindless Self Indulgence finishes his music and then Jimmy Urine announces The Miz's arrival. They start playing "Bitches" as The Miz makes an entrance from the crowd, surrounded by bodyguards. The fans anger at his audacity is shown through the trash he is pelted with. The Miz enters the ring after what seems like forever and the bell is rung.

The Miz looks somewhat nervous and waves off Rhino and the ref. He calls for a mic and demands to know what kind of match they will be having. Jimmy Urine, still on stage, pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and reads of the words "Two out of three Falls, Anything Goes..." The Miz's face turns to complete disgust. Rhino catches Miz offguard and nails a brutal spinebuster for a 2 count.

The Miz quickly escapes to the outside, Rhino follows through the ropes only to get blinded by a quick eye-poke from The Miz. He follows it up with a european uppercut and an impact DDT onto the concrete which seems to leave the Manbeast in a deep daze. The Miz grabs a microphone and begins taunting Rhino, "You piece of shit, you come after me with this weak offense?" Rhino springs up and hits a clothesline so hard it flips The Miz over onto the concrete. Rhino gets to his feet and cracks his neck a few times before lifting The Miz up and throwing him into the ring with a guerilla press. The fans are chanting "HOLY SHIT!" as he jumps up onto the canvas and enters the ring.

Rhino grabs The Miz by the hair and gets a low-blow putting him on his knees. The Miz hits the ring ropes and bounces off with a high knee to the skull. Rhino falls flat on his back giving The Miz time to climb the top turnbuckle and execute a picture perfect diving elbow drop. The Miz hooks a leg and barely manages a 2 count for his trouble.

The Miz gets up and hits standing elbow drop only for Rhino to catch his arm and apply the arm bar. The crowd is on their feet as The Miz taps out immediately for the first "fall" of the match. The ref breaks up the submission and The Miz rises to his feet seemingly unhurt. As Rhino gets to his feet he finds himself victim to the Reality Check (running knee lift into a neckbreaker slam). The Miz hooks the leg for 2 and 1/2.

Rhino struggles to his feet and gets caught with the Mizard of Oz (swinging reverse DDT) for his trouble. The Miz hurriedly hooks the leg and again Rhino kicks out before 3. The Miz, enraged, goes to the outside and fetches a steel chair. Rhino gets to his feet in time for the steel to bounce off his skull, Rhino stumbles back dazedly, The Miz drives the chair into Rhino's gut, drops it and hits a DDT onto the chair. The fans are in shock at seeing the Manbeast handled in such a brutal way. The Miz hooks a leg and again only gets a 2 count. The Miz loses it and hits the Skull Crushing Finale on the ref and rolls to the outside.

Another ref runs down to the ring as The Miz grabs a table and slides it into the ring. The fans become livid as he stands the table in the corner and signals for the SCF. Rhino jumps to his feet groggily and charges in for the GORE! GORE! GORE! through the table! Only, The Miz dodges allowing Rhino to smash through the table and then stumble backward into the Skull Crushing Finale. The Miz hooks the leg and scores the second fall of the match.

The Miz, not waiting for the ref's permission, locks the STF on Rhino. AGAINST ALL ODDS Rhino breaks the hold and rolls away. The Miz grabs the steel chair and slams it down on Rhino's head before laying it over his face and stomping down with both feet. Rhino looks done for as The Miz rolls out of the ring and brings in yet another wooden table and again places it in a corner. The fans become silent as that all too familiar look appears upon his face. He points to Rhino and then to the table then seems to signal to the back.

Rob Terry with a bandage around his face and Magnus come sprinting down the entranceway. The crowd erupts in boos and yet the ref cannot stop the match because of the Anything Goes stipulation. Terry and Magnus lift Rhino up then signal for the Tiger Stomp (Chokeslam/Warrior's Way combo) when suddenly Raven comes sprinting down to the ring. Magnus goes for a clothesline and Raven ducks it before nailing an Evenflow DDT. Terry with a look of horror on his face as Rhino comes back with a surge of newfound strength lifting him up for a brutal spinebuster onto a steel chair. Terry rolls out and suddenly the tables are turned on The Miz.

Raven grabs the steel chair and slams it into the face of The Miz forcing him to stumble back first into the very wooden table he placed into the corner minutes ago. Raven presses the steel chair against the throat of The Miz and Rhino signals for the Gore. He sprints forward but, NO! Steel slams hard into the top of Rhino's skull and he goes limp. The Miz stumbles over to Rhino and hooks the leg. 1,2,3. The Miz is victorious. Raven grabs his hand and raises it in solidarity. The fans have been betrayed by Raven.
24 minutes 32 seconds

The Miz gets on the mic and delivers the final words of the night. "I am The Miz and I....AM....AWESOME!!!!"
