WPW Breakdown - July 1 / 2000

-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

 

We opened with a video montage of events leading up to WPW Aggression set to "Last Resort" by Papa Roach.  3Count have pissed off The Acolytes at every turn and have taken a beating in the process and after a failed attempt to get out of the match will 3Count be able to hang with The Acolytes?  The distraction of Stacey Carter led to Jeff Jarrett becoming the first ever WPW Television Champion over Dean Malenko but Jarrett must defend against Malenko tonight and 'The Shooter' has promised Jarrett that Stacey won't be a factor in the match.  Kurt Angle placed the blame for losing to Sting solely on Diamond Dallas Page and tonight the two face off in a grudge match.  Ric Flair wants another shot at Kidman but Kidman has set up the roadblock in the form of a Six Man Tag Team Match as Flair, Shamrock and Benoit face Kidman, Road Dogg and X-Pac.  If The Horsemen win then Flair will get another match with Kidman but if DX wins then they never ever have to wrestle The Horsemen again.  Proving that there are no friends in wrestling, Triple H drove a wedge between Chris Jericho and Sting as Jericho has gone all out for victory.  The two face off tonight with the winner to go onto face the World Champion at the next PPV.  Last month, Booker T upset Eddy Guerrero to become the WPW Intercontinental Champion and tonight he puts the belt back on the line against Guerrero but this time it'll be a 2/3 Falls Match.  The WPW World Tag Team Titles are on the line as The Hardy Boyz defend against Too Cool.  Too Cool have been softened up thanks to attacks by the deranged Al Snow.  It was one month ago that Triple H issued the open challenge to anyone and out of the entrance stepped Goldberg.  This feud has escalated to right here tonight as the WPW World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H defends against Goldberg.  All this and more tonight, live on Pay-Per-View as WPW presents BREAKDOWN...

 

With that we entered the arena as fireworks went off and Scott Hudson and Terry Taylor welcomed us to the program.  They hyped up the show then sent us to the ring for action...

 

Opening Match: 3Count v. The Acolytes.  Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore and Shane Helms headed out onto the top of the stage with headset microphones...

 

Shannon:  "Before we beat down The Acolytes, we have a special treat for all the thousands of 3Count fans in attendance and the millions watching around the world."

 

Shane:  "After our first hit, 'Can't Get You Out Of My Heart' went platinum several times we hit the studios and busted out a new single that's going to top the charts worldwide and tonight, we're going to debut it to the world..."

 

Evan:  "Our new single is called, 'Dance With 3Count' so all you people in the audience can dance along with us.  Now I know you may not be quite the entertainers and dancers that we are but it's the effort that counts and remember, all the ladies go down for the 3Count..."

 

The new song, 'Dance With 3Count' played as 3Count lip synched to it for a few moments until 'Ironman' by Black Sabbath blasted through the loudspeakers as 3Count looked all scared.  A few moments later, Faarooq and Bradshaw, The Acolytes charged through the curtain and laid out Evan Karagias.  Faarooq and Bradshaw then took Shannon and Shane and threw them into the ring and our first match was on.  Helms and Bradshaw were the first two in as Shannon went out to the apron as did Faarooq.  Bradshaw would hammer away on Helms with big blows then send him into the ropes but Helms came off with a spinning heel kick but Bradshaw moved.  Bradshaw stomped on Helms then picked him up and hit a fallaway slam.  Bradshaw followed that up with a belly-to-back suplex on Helms for a two count.  Bradshaw sent Helms into the corner and charged in but Helms moved.  Helms then nailed Bradshaw with a superkick and tagged in Shannon Moore.  Moore and Helms would double team on Bradshaw and hit a double dropkick.  Moore would then go up top and nail a moonsault on Bradshaw for a two count.  Moore kept it quick with some chops and kicks then sent Bradshaw into the ropes and went for a frankensteiner but Bradshaw turned it into a power bomb.  Bradshaw made the tag to Faarooq.  Faarooq wore down Shannon a bit with some power moves then sent him into the corner but Shannon would run up the turnbuckles and hit a crossbody block but Faarooq caught him.  Shane Helms quickly came in with a springboard dropkick into Shannon sending Faarooq down for a two count.  This match of The Acolytes power and brawling against the dynamic speed and arial assault of 3Count continued on for a few more minutes.  The closing moments of the match would see Faarooq and Shannon Moore going at it.  Faarooq hit a hard slam on Shannon then Shane came in and tried to get at Faarooq but Bradshaw came in and ran at Shane but Shane backdropped Bradshaw out of the ring.  Shane then hit a running senton plancha onto Bradshaw taking himself out in the process.  Shannon tried to whip Faarooq into the ropes but Faarooq reversed it then caught Shannon in a spinebuster.  Shane started choking Bradshaw with a TV cable on the outside which got the referee's attention.  The crowd's attention turned as EVAN KARAGIAS ran out with a chair and nailed Faarooq as he was trying to give Shannon the Dominator.  Shannon then nailed the Shannon Slicer on Faarooq.  Shannon made the cover as the referee came back in and counted ... ONE ... TWO ... THREE!  3COUNT has UPSET THE ACOLYTES thanks to Evan Karagias and a chair!

 

WINNERS: 3Count in 7:07.

Rating: * 1/4

 

After the match, 3Count escaped in victory as The Acolytes realized that they'd just been shafted out of a victory by the young trio.  There will be another day for the most intimidating team in wrestling, The Acoyltes...

 

Match #2: Jeff Jarrett (c) v. Dean Malenko - WPW Television Title.  "Surfacing" by Slipknot blared over the loudspeakers as 'The Shooter' Dean Malenko walked out to the ring as cool and calculated as always.  Then, "Cowboy" by Kid Rock brought out the WPW Television Champion, 'Double J' Jeff Jarrett along with his valet Stacey Carter.  Jarrett and Malenko circled eachother then locked up with Jarrett going right to the eyes of Malenko.  Jarrett then opened up with right hands on Malenko and knocked him out of the ring with a clothesline.  Jarrett strutted and worked up the crowd a little bit until Malenko pulled Jarrett's legs from under him and out of the ring.  Malenko then pounded away on Jarrett on the outside of the ring for a moment before rolling the champion back inside.  Malenko sent Jarrett into the ropes and hit him with a leg lariat.  Malenko made the cover for two.  Malenko then sent Jarrett back into the ropes but Jarrett came off with a clothesline.  Jarrett followed that up with a gutwrench suplex for two.  Jarrett followed that up with some more brawling then hit a piledriver on Malenko for another near fall.  Jarrett got cocky and Malenko would regain control of the match as he outwrestled Jarrett on the mat and stayed away from the brawling.  The closing moments of the match would see Jarrett hit Malenko with a sharp right hand then go for a bulldog but Malenko threw Jarrett off.  Malenko whipped Jarrett into the corner but Jarrett reversed it and charged in but Malenko got the legs up.  Malenko would then use a release german suplex on Jarrett.  Stacey Carter would get up on the apron and attempt to distract 'The Shooter'.  Jarrett came from behind but Malenko ducked and sent Jarrett into Carter ...  INSIDE CRADLE by MALENKO!

After the match, Malenko was awarded the belt and had a smile on his face as Jarrett was down in the ring with Stacey trying to console him.  Malenko headed to the back the new champion.  Jarrett got up and pushed Stacey and the referee away and then grabbed the microphone..

 

Jeff Jarrett:  "Stacey Carter, you whore!  I thought I told you that if I get in trouble you distract Malenko but no, you couldn't do that, right?  I thought you were different but you're just like all the women in this building, you belong in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant!  Now get outta my sight!"

 

Carter turned to walk away then came back and sacked Jarrett from behind then walked away from the ring...

 

Match #3: Kurt Angle v. Diamond Dallas Page.  "My Hero" by Foo Fighters started up over the loudspeakers as 'The American Hero' Kurt Angle walked out of the entrance and towards the ring to a large amount of jeers from the crowd.  Once in the ring, Angle would take the microphone but as he began to talk, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana blared over the loudspeakers as Diamond Dallas Page made his way through the crowd and into the ring!  DDP got in Angle's face then made the mistake of turning his back as Angle nailed Page with a forearm to the back.  Angle laid in with a few more shots then took DDP down with a fireman's carry.  Angle celebrated then sent DDP into the ropes but DDP came off with a lariat.  Page peppered Angle with rights and lefts then hit a backbreaker on the Olympic Champion.  DDP then tried a back suplex but Angle flipped over and hit a waistlock suplex for two.  Angle knocked DDP back down with a clothesline and followed that up with a neck snap for two.  Angle stomped away and with DDP then took him to the outside.  This was a mistake as DDP fought back hard on the outside and took control of the match.  This entertaining match went back and forth for quite some time until Angle took Page upstairs for a belly-to-belly superplex.  DDP fought it and shoved Angle down to the canvas.  DDP got on the second rope and waited for Angle to get to his feet.  Angle staggered to his feet and DDP dove to try and catch Angle in a Diamond Cutter and did but Angle stepped back and threw DDP down.  DDP staggered to his feet and ANGLEPLEX!  Angle makes the cover on Page ...

Match #4: Ric Flair & Ken Shamrock & Chris Benoit v. Kidman & Road Dogg & X-Pac.  This would be one of our more anticipated matches of the evening and more heated rivalries.  'Sprach Zarathrustra' sounded as out of the entrance came The Four Horsemen's 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 'Worlds Most Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock and 'Crippler' Chris Benoit to the ring.  This is what most people consider the most elite group in professional wrestling, well, right along with their opponents.  "The Kings" by Run DMC blasted through the loudspeakers as D-Generation X's Kidman, Road Dogg and X-Pac made their way out to the ring for this Six Man Tag Team war.  Ken Shamrock and Road Dogg started things out for their respective teams.  Shamrock tried to lock up but Dogg stepped back and nailed Shamrock with a jab.  Road Dogg hita  few more jabs then went for another but Shamrock caught it and took down Road Dogg with an armbreaker.  Shamrock kicked Road Dogg a few tiems then sent Road Dogg into the ropes.  Dogg came off with a clotheslien but Shamrock ducked then would catch Road Dogg with a huracanrana for a two count.  Road Dogg backed away and tagged in Kidman.  Road Dogg and Kidman double teamed Shamrock then Kidman would hit a dropkick on Shamrock followed by a german suplex for a two count.  Kidman continued to work over Shamrock then went for a bulldog but Shamrock countered it with an atomic drop then a spinning elbowsmash.  Shamrock then made the tag to RIC FLAIR.  Flair came in and chopped away on Kidman pulling his shirt over his head and beating away on Kidman's chest.  Road Dogg and X-Pac quickly came in and decked Flair which brought in Benoit and Shamrock.  The match exploded into a huge brawl for a few minutes until it finally settled back down into a match.  The closing moments of the match would see Road Dogg and Chris Benoit going at it.  Road Dogg hit his punches then knocked Benoit down with a big right hand.  Road Dogg then tried his shaky knee drop but Benoit rolled out of the way and drove Road Dogg down into the Crippler Crossface.  Kidman came in and broke it up then Ric Flair came in and took down Kidman with a big chop.  Flair then locked Kidman in the Figure Four Leglock.  X-Pac tried to come in but Shamrock caught X-Pac with a single leg takedown and into the Ankle Lock!  Road Dogg staggered around and Benoit drove him back down into the Crippler Crossface!  The Horsemen are in control!  Kidman would roll over the Figure Four and bail out to the floor.  X-Pac kicked Shamrock off then crawled over to try and get Benoit off of Road Dogg but it was too late!  ROAD DOGG TAPPED OUT TO THE CROSSFACE!  THE HORSEMEN WIN!  Ric Flair will get his match with Kidman!  Flair will get Kidman!

After the match, the ring announcer declared The Four Horsemen the winner and the camera caught a shot of Kidman's face as it was in total fear.  Kidman then grabbed a chair and went to nail Flair with it but Shamrock pulled the chair away and Kidman backed out of the ring and backed up the ramp along with Road Dogg and X-Pac.  The Four Horsemen have gained revenge on DX and gotten Ric Flair one more match with his arch-rival Kidman..

 

Match #5: Booker T (c) v. Eddy Guerrero - WPW Intercontinental Title 2/3 Falls.  'La Raza' blared over the loudspeakers as Eddy Guerrero stepped through the curtain to a lot of jeers from the crowd.  The former WPW IC Champion headed to the ring looking focused on regaining his gold.  Then, "Party Up" by DMX blasted through the loudspeakers as the reigning WPW Intercontinental Champion, Booker T headed out to a big pop from the crowd.  It was one month ago when Booker T shocked Eddy Guerrero by defeating him for the IC gold.  Now a month later, the rematch, 2 out of 3 Falls.  Booker and Guerrero locked up with Booker T overpowering Guerrero and sending him into the ropes.  Booker tried a shoulder lift flapjack but Guerrero floated over behind Booker T and took him down with a back suplex.  Guerrero taunted Booker T and the crowd then went to work with chops and headbutts.  Guerrero sent Booker T into the ropes and hit a backdrop then went for a dropkick but Booker T moved out of the way.  Booker then hit some punches and kicks followed by a neckbreaker for two.  Booker T followed that up with a kneelift and a legdrop fro another two.  Booker T bounced off the ropes and went for a lariat but Guerrero ducked, bounced off the ropes himself then hit a crossbody for two.  Guerrero sent Booker T into the corner and tried to place him on the top turnbuckle but Booker T shoved Guerrero off.  Booker then dove off the second rope with a clothesline to Guerrero.  Booker T would send Guerrero into the ropes and go for a spinebuster but Guerrero held on and hit a Swinging DDT for a very near fall.  The first fall would come with Guerrero going for the Gory Special but couldn't get Booker T up.  Booker T bounced off the ropes and went for a Harlem Sidekick but Guerrero ducked, kicked Booker T in the midsection then tried a brain buster but Booker T floated over behind Guerrero but Guerrero connected with a vicious low back kick.  Guerrero then nailed a brain buster on Booker T and headed up top.  FROG SPLASH!  Guerrero makes the cover ...

Match #7: Chris Jericho v. Sting - Number One Contenders.  The lights went out as we counted down to 'Break Down The Walls' and out came "Y2J" Chris Jericho to a somewhat mixed reaction, about 70% cheers and 30% boos due to Jericho's recent change of attitude.  Then, "Seek And Destroy" by Metallica brought Sting out to the ring.  The crowd was all cheers for the Stinger.  The winner of this matchup will go on to face the World Heavyweight Champion at the next PPV.  Jericho tied up with Sting but Sting shoved Jericho into the corner and when Jericho came out Sting met him with a clothesline.  Sting nailed Jericho with body shots, an inverted atomic drop and a big clothesline that sent Y2J crashing to the canvas.  Sting made a cover for two then called out to the crowd.  Sting sent Jericho into the ropes but Jericho came off with a forearm shot.  Jericho stomped on Sting then choked him against the ropes.  Jericho trash talked Sting then nailed him with a dropkick and made a cover for two.  Jericho tried to whip Sting into the ropes but Sting reversed then hit a backdrop on Jericho and Jericho quickly bailed to the floor.  Sting went after Jericho and brawled with him on the outside for a few moments until Jericho would send Sting into the ring steps.  Jericho then rolled Sting into the ring and went up to the top rope and connected with a flying dropkick.  Jericho followed that up with a double underhook backbreaker.  Jericho put a foot on Sting and did his "COME ON' BABY!" pin but Sting easily kicked out.  Jericho would then try a power bomb but Sting countered it with a backdrop then a vertical suplex on Jericho.  This exciting and close matchup between these two superstars went back and forth for quite some time with Jericho showing more of an edge then usual.  The closing moments of the match would see Jericho go for a spinning leg lariat and connect with Sting.  Jericho then tried the Lionsault but Sting gets the knees up!  Sting sent Jericho into the corner and went for a Stinger Splash but Jericho pulled the referee in the way.  Sting nails Jericho with the SCORPION DEATH DROP!

Main Event: Triple H (c) v. Goldberg - WPW World Heavyweight Title.  'INVASION' hit as Goldberg emerged through the pyro and headed out to the ring for our Main Event to challenge for the World Heavyweight Title.  Then, 'ONE! TWO! ZIS ON?!' was heard and the WPW World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H slowly stalked his way towards the ring reading himself for perhaps his biggest challenge to date.  The bell rang and the match was on.  Triple H stepped forward out of his corner as did Goldberg.  They walked face to face neither man saying a word until Goldberg said, "Your next.." Triple H responded with a forearm to Goldberg's face.  Triple H hit a few more shots staggering Goldberg then sent Goldberg into the ropes but Goldberg came off with a big shoulderblock knocking the champion down.  The Game backed off then locked up with Goldberg.  The two jockied for position until Triple H hit some knees to the midsection of Goldberg then drove him down with an armbar submission.  Goldberg quickly escaped and got up to his feet then nailed Triple H with a savate kick.  Goldberg pounded Triple H a bit then sent Triple H into the corner.  The Game rocked back out and hit Goldberg with a kick to the midsection then a kneelift to the face followed by a knee drop to Goldberg's head.  Triple H will have to keep his offense going and not give Goldberg any time to counter or react while it's crucial for Goldberg to overpower Triple H.  The Game was in control as he just pounded away on Goldberg in the corner.  HHH bounced off the ropes and ran at Goldberg but Goldberg picked the World Champion up over his head with an awesome press slam then caught him in a powerslam.  Goldberg would go for the cover...ONE!
