"Crush 'Em" played in the background of a montage of footage hyping
up the matches tonight. The Unholy
Alliance commited the crime of the century, well sortof, when they stole The
Acolytes beer and got trashed before a match.
Tonight, The Acolytes look to show The Unholy Alliance what happens when
one covets The Acolytes beer. Kaz
Hayashi upset Dean Malenko for the Television Title causing 'The Shooter' to
snap and join forces with Al Snow and Steve Blackman. Tonight in Six Man Tag Team action it's
Malenko, Snow and Blackman against the Jung Dragons. The war between the former Too Cool has
escalated to tonight's big Manchester Death Match as Scotty Taylor and Brian
Christopher fight it out one more time.
Masato Tanaka has waged war against the Latino World Order and tonight
he gets his hands on Eddy Guerrero. Two
men that have been effected by The Elite's actions are Booker T and Mike
Awesome leading to both men wanting in the Main Event but they'll have to fight
it out here tonight with the winner going on to referee the Main Event. Last night in London, Juventud Guerrera and
Papi Chulo upset The Hardy Boyz for the WPW World Tag Team Titles with the help
of a masked man, tonight, The Hardy Boyz look to reclaim their gold. Then in the Main Event it's the Ultimate
Survival Match where The Elite will fight to protect Owner Mick Foley from
Goldberg while the opposition will fight for Ric Flair's commissioner
power. Last month at Battle Ground, Mick
Foley laid out Chris Jericho allowing Triple H to become World Heavyweight
Champion. We then had a formation of a
new Elite with Triple H, Kidman, Kurt Angle and Ken Shamrock. The next night The Elite issued the challenge
for an Ultimate Survival match which was accepted by Jericho, Chris Benoit,
Sting and the returning Goldberg! Over
the past month the feud between these two groups has intensified to the maximum
and tonight we'll find out who can and will survive! All of that tonight as WPW hits England for
MANCHESTER MASSACRE, live on PAY-PER-VIEW... We then went live
inside the MEN Arena in Manchester, England where fireworks went off and the
crowd cheered. We headed to the
announcers table where Scott Hudson and Jerry 'The King' Lawler welcomed us to
