Date: June 18, 2007 Venue: Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, Virginia Intense Championship Wrestling Monday Night Collision – Episode #25 Opening Segment: Highlights of last Monday night epic Pay Per View, D-Day. Segment: The Corporation – Shane McMahon, Christopher Daniels, Randy Orton, and Ric Flair – enter the arena with sour expressions on their faces. McMahon is mumbling to himself before he stops in his tracks and goes nose to nose with Daniels. McMahon explains that even though Daniels won last night’s main event match by disqualification, he still failed to bring the ICW World Championship to The Corporation and was humiliated by Taz. McMahon tells Daniels he needs to put on a good showing against Taz in tonight’s non-title cage match to simply send a message. McMahon warns Daniels that he will not have many more opportunities to defeat Taz and if Daniels is to ever truly lead the Corporation to greatness and simultaneously bring down Intense Championship Wrestling, he must defeat Taz and bring the Championship to the Corporation. Opening Video: “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park followed by opening commentary from Joey Styles and Paul Heyman… First match: The HooliganZ defeat The F.B.I.(Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido) when Kendrick nailed the Slice Bread #2 on Little Guido. The match featured the usual high flying teamwork by The HooliganZ while The F.B.I. resorted to more illegal tactics. At one point, the HooliganZ nearly were defeated as F.B.I.’s Maria hoped onto the apron and distracted the legal man London, who was rolled up by the Little Guido but managed to kick out at 2 ½.*After the match: As the HooliganZ celebrate their victory, we suddenly hear a loud giggle echo throughout the arena. The camera CUTS to the stage where former WWE diva Mickie James skips out onto the stage with a microphone in her hand. She enters the ring as The HooliganZ stare on with their jaws dropped by her great beauty. Mickie introduces herself as “Alexis James” and says how happy she is to be the newest member of Intense Championship Wrestling. She says she is very impressed by The HooliganZ and gives both members a kiss on their cheek. Right after, James giggly personality suddenly turns dark as her grin fades. The houselights dim out…and come back on to reveal The Backseat Boys! The Backseat’s brutally beat down The HooliganZ as James cheers on, jumping up and down with approval. After the beat down, she introduces the crowd to her “boys” Trent Acid and Johnny Kashmere. She says that they too are the newest addition to ICW and together they will dominate. Interview: Our cameras are backstage as Jonathan Coachman stands by with the Intense Championship Wrestling International Champion ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Nick Dinsmore. Coachman asks Dinsmore about his match with the Corporation’s Randy Orton. Dinsmore replies that he knows Orton is “a no good, goddamn cheater who will do anything to win. But Orton’s never stepped foot into the ring with ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Nick Dinsmore. Because let me tell you one thing, Coach, and everyone in this company knows it. I also do whatever it takes to win…I just rather use my greatest asset, my wrestling skills, than resorting to lower tactics like Orton and the rest of the Corporation do”. Before Dinsmore can say anymore…WILLIAM REGAL steps into the scene to a tremendous OVATION from the sold out crowd. The two have an intense stare down before Regal speaks “Why hello there my dear boy. It appears that you have in fact changed quite a bit since the last time we were together. No longer that utterly moronic, utterly annoying Eugene? Now you dare call yourself ‘Mr. Wrestling’? Well let me tell you something, Sunshine, I have not forgotten how you betrayed me all those months ago at Wrestle mania. And I am back to get my revenge, my dear boy”. The two continue to stare down one… COMMERICAL Promo: Our cameras are somewhere backstage as a battered Hardcore Champion Homicide, who is barely recovered from his brutal Triple Threat No Rope Barbed Wire match last night, stares aimlessly into the camera. He suddenly begins to speak: “Ric…Flair (HUGE BOOS are overheard from the crowd). That old man may be a lot of things. He’s a first class cheater, ‘The Dirtiest Player in the Game’. He’s now a member of some bull s**t faction that thinks they have power around here, that think they run the place. But that son of a bitch is also a 16 time World Heavyweight Champion. He’s ‘The Nature Boy’, the most recognizable wrestler of all time. He’s also said something that’s stuck with me since I first entered this business…”to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man”. That’s something that I truly believe in. And ever since I’ve been in ICW, I’ve beaten Taz. Beaten The Sandman. Beaten Dreamer, Sabu, and Rhino. I’ve wrestles some of the most brutal matches in my career, hell I just wrestled in a ring of barbed wire last night and came out on top. So as far as I’m concerned, I’ve beaten more than ‘the man’. I’ve beaten EVERY self-proclaimed Hardcore Legend in this company! I have cemented myself as the newest Hardcore Legend not just in ICW but in the entire world of Professional Wrestling. I’m not the Hardcore Champion by chance or luck. I sacrificed my body for this title and will continue to sacrifice my body to keep this title. Let’s face it…nobody can beat me. That’s not me being cocky. It’s me providing a fact to all of you. Let ANYONE try…but they will fail. I…” Suddenly the lights dim out. We hear a struggle and more telling we hear Homicide scream out in pain. After a few brief moments, the lights come back on. Homicide is lying face first on the cement floor, a pool of blood forming around him. Homicide’s Hardcore Title is draped across his back. The most noticeable different, however, is that a fairly large sticker of a Smiley Face is sticked on the center of the Hardcore Title. The camera zooms in on the image before we CUT away… Second Match: ‘The Sensation of Innovation’ Shane Helms defeats ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles in a particularly exciting match featuring loads of high risk maneuvers. At one point during the match, Shane Helms was outside of the ring and was soon after taken out as Styles nailed his signature no-handed Fosbury Flop to the outside. Styles momentum was soon lost as the action was taken back into the ring and eventually Helms nailed the Vertrabreaker for the victory. The commentators make notice of Styles’ recent losing streak since his return to ICW.Segment: The World’s Greatest Tag Team – Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin – are backstage to HUGE boos from the crowd. Benjamin speaks about how The Second City Saints (Cabana and Steel) are nothing more than “big fools that don’t have any intensity, integrity, or intelligence”. Haas chimes in by saying “The Second City Saints made a mistake by coming here. They made an even bigger mistake by aligning themselves with their ‘homie’ CM Punk, who couldn’t hold Kurt Angle’s jockstrap”. Benjamin finishes the segment by saying “So the bottom line is this. Cabana, Steel…The World’s Greatest Tag Team want you at Redemption. And we’re finally gonna teach you why no one crosses Team Angle”. COMMERCIAL Segment: The entire Corporation are backstage in a rather large suite/personal locker room seated on a sofa. Shane is speaking to Daniels, who has a face of pure focus and determination. “Tonight, you send a message, Chris. You show the world that you can hang in Taz’s element. Cage matches are unforgiving but you’re ready for it. Besides…”. Suddenly, a rather loud knock is heard at the door. Flair rises from the sofa and opens the door…and is BUMRUSHED as Chris Jericho storms into the locker room! Jericho knocks ‘The Nature Boy” out with a vicious right hand before literally diving onto Randy Orton and pumples away at him. McMahon and Daniels attempt to pry Jericho off of Orton but McMahon receives a vicious right hand that floors him while Jericho delivers a kick to the balls of Daniels. Jericho continues to batter away at Orton before numerous security guards swarm in and remove Jericho from the room. After a few brief moments, the rest of The Corporation regain their composure while Orton lies motionless on the floor as Flair checks on him. McMahon is livid and screams “It appears that we have a lunatic in this goddamn company! Damn it, we need some…insurance. And I have JUST the man in mind”. The camera focuses on McMahon’s borderline demented face as we CUT to the ring… Third Match: ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill with Katie Lea defeats MAVEN (!!!) via The C-4 to retain his ICW Television Championship in a match totally dominated by Burchill. Maven, making his return to ICW, received a decent pop from the crowd but that soon disappeared as Burchill battered Maven with closelines, uppercuts, and even a beautifully executed Standing Shooting Star press. *After the match “No Chance” plays over the loudspeakers to THE BIGGEST BOOS OF THE NIGHT as Shane McMahon, still rattled from The Corporation’s confrontation with Chris Jericho, storms down the ramp. He enters the ring and promptly snatches the microphone from ring announcer Bob Artese. McMahon stares Burchill right in the eyes before speaking. “Paul…Paul, I have to say that was one hell of a showing. You’ve been opening a lot of eyes in the professional wrestling world and you’ve already made a name for yourself. In your first match BAM you beat Kurt Angle for the Television Championship. And the past couple of weeks people have tried to compete against you and you’ve manhandled them. Hell, you’re more than ‘The Ripper’. You’re a damn MONSTER. A force to be reckoned with! You’re a damn machine. You’re…you’re something The Corporation NEEDS! [The crowd ERUPTS into boos] Paul, I’m making you an offer of a life time. You and Katie Lea…can join greatness. With us by your side, you can succeed in ways you have never imagined. What do you say? Paul proceeds to grab McMahon by the collar of his shirt and winds his right arm back as the crowd ERUPTS into cheers. Burchill and McMahon stare into each others eyes, McMahon seemingly unphased that his life could very well end. Suddenly, Burchill releases his hold on McMahon! McMahon extends his right hand…and Burchill ACCEPTS IT! The crowd ERUPTS INTO EAR SHATTERING BOOS as Paul Burchill sold his soul to Shane. Shane grins widely and hugs Katie Lea, who smiles right back at him. All three of them stand tall in the ring, their arms interlocked and raises in the air, to more and more boos from the crowd. Segment: ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles is backstage and clearly upset over his loss to the number one contender for the Lightweight Championship, Shane Helms, that occurred earlier in the night. Styles is talking more to himself than to the camera, saying “Ever since I’ve been back in ICW, all I’ve been doing is LOSING! I am ‘The Phenomenal One’, a former NWA-TNA World Champion, a former ICW Xtreme Champion…I’m better than this! I’m…”. Suddenly entering the screen is ‘The Instant Classic’ Christian Cage and the massive figure of Tyson Tomko. Cage has a grin on his face as he confronts Styles: Cage: “How ya doing AJ Styles? Ya seem…a little upset. Why’s that, buddy? Oh…you’re upset because you’ve FINALLY come to the realization that you SUCK. No matter what you tell yourself you are far from ‘The Phenomenal One’. That my friend…is ME! ‘The Instant Classic’, ‘Captain Charisma’ HIMSELF…Christian Cage. Just ask Rob Van Dam[Cage and Tomko laugh as the entire audience boos loudly]. You’re nothing more…but pathetic, AJ. Suddenly, Styles levels Cage with a VICIOUS right hand…but Tomko is quick to make things uneven as he closelines Styles to the concrete floor! Tyson grabs Styles by the throat and lifts him to a vertical base. Cage stares at Styles before continuing belittling him, calling him “pathetic”. Tomko releases Styles, who falls rather crudely to the floor as Cage and Tomko walk away… COMMERICAL Promo: Our cameras are in a darken area backstage where Matt Hardy stands against a plain white wall to massive boos from the crowd. Matt’s curly black hair is draped over his face… “What I did last night was inexcusable. I turned against my own blood. I betrayed my brother, someone I broke into this business with. Someone I love with all of my heart. What I did last night was sickening, it was disgraceful. I know that. But it had to be done. Because you see…deep down…I am a greedy person. Since Jeff and I got our fame in the WWE, he was the ‘popular’ one. The big brother was being outshined by the little brother. And it wasn’t because Jeff was better than me…in fact, he’s not better than me in any way imaginable. It was because he risked his body for you people. He felt the need to do moonsault’s from high places. He felt the need to physically abuse his body just so you people can chant his name. I never felt like that. And with Jeff’s crazy, asinine stunts, he would bring more and more risk to The Hardy Boys. He would cost us matches, just like he did last night. And it’s all for you people. Sad, pathetic, people nonetheless. I told Jeff over and over and over again to not do anything stupid, anything that would risk our victory. But he just couldn’t help himself. And now he paid the price. I did what needed to be done, what I warned him I would do. And I feel no remorse. I’m glad I did what I did, even though I recognize it was vile and disgusting. I’m also glad to tell all of you that Jeff…Jeff won’t be around ICW for quite sometime [instant boos from the crowd]. And neither will I. Matt Hardy needs to figure out what’s next for himself, what opportunities open up for me. But when that time comes for me to return…expect me to make such a bang that would put my baby brother to shame. Fourth Match: Randy Orton defeats Nick Dinsmore via disqualification after a STILL irate Chris Jericho storms the ring and knocks Orton out with a vicious steel chair shot! *After the match: However, the newest insurance police of The Corporation, Paul Burchill, enters the ring and yanks the chair from Jericho’s grasp before turning the weapon on Jericho. Burchill brutally assaults Jericho in the ring while McMahon applauds on with encouragement. Orton rises to his feet, shoves Burchill out of the way, picks up Jericho…and delivers a NASTY RKO ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR! Jericho is busted open and is left lying in a pool of his own blood in the middle of the ring… COMMERCIALPromotional video: The screen is momentarily dark, void of any sight. However, the intense sound of a tribal drum being banged over and over again can be clearly heard. Suddenly, drops of blood begin to fall. Soon, the drops of the blood spell out a single word: DETERMINATION. As the loud drum continues to be played, we also hear several commentators screaming different things such as “OH MY GOD!” and “He has shown why he is such a dominating force in this business!”. The video comes to an abrupt end. Our cameras CUT to the announcing table where Paul Heyman says that this is a video related to the one played last night at D-Day and reminds the viewers that when the time is right, he will re-introduce this monster back to ICW. Promo: The ICW World Champion, Taz, is sitting on a stool in his private dressing room. Taz is wearing his signature black singlet with a black towel draped over his head. The ICW World Championship shines around his waist… “People ask me if I ever get afraid. Do I ever fear for my life whenever I wrestle a match. Do I worry about snapping my neck again and possibly killin’ myself in the process. And ya know what I tell them, Daniels? I tell them the truth: I don’t get scared. There aint no weapons in the world, no crazy stipulations thrown into a match that get me scared. But tonight, Daniels…tonight I am genuinely scared. Tonight, we do battle yet again and this time it’s a non-title match…and it’s inside of a steel cage. But I aint scared of the cage. I aint scared of that unforgiveable steel and what it can do to the both of us. Nah, I’m scared about the things I will do to ya. Last night…last night, Daniels, you only got a taste. I beat the crap out of ya last night, I nearly left you unconscious. But ya know what, Daniels? Last night won’t even compare to the s(BLEEP)t I’m going to do to you tonight. Tonight we’re locked inside a steel cage. And Daniels…I suggest you try your hardest to escape that cage anyway you can. Because I promise you this, kid, I’m gonna beat ya down so bad you won’t leave this arena standing. You decided that you wanted to mess with not only me but this company. That’s fine, Daniels. You made your bed and now you gotta go lay in it. Tonight, you’ll truly know what it means to get the holy hell beaten out of ya. Beat me if you can…survive if I let you. After tonight…you’ll be JUST. ANOTHER. VICTIM. MAIN EVENT MATCH: Christopher Daniels (with The Corporation) defeats Taz in a non-title Cage Match via escaping out of the cage door. This match was perhaps the most brutal match ever aired on Monday Night Collision. Taz dominated the early part of the match, leveling Daniels’ skull against the steel cage numerous times. Taz even managed to nail a sickening Release German Suplex that send Daniels colliding with the cage and actually bouncing over the top rope and causing him to be stuck between one of the sides of the cage and the ring. Things would soon change for Daniels, however, as he used his quickness to his advantage as he reversed a suplex attempt from Taz. The end of the match saw Daniels nail Taz with the Angels Wings. He goes for the pin but Taz somehow kicks out at 2 and ½. The two wrestlers would soon continue to trade blow for blow. The end of the match saw Daniels slingshot Taz into one side of the cage. Taz reeled back upon impact, Daniels turned him around, and nailed his second Angels Wings before escaping via the cage door. *After the match: All hell breaks lose. Paul Burchill enters the cage via the door and immediately knocks out senior referee Anthony Ref. Flair, Orton, and McMahon follow Burchill into the cage-enclosed ring while Katie Lea remains at ringside. Orton, Flair, Burchill, Daniels, and McMahon brutally assault Taz, hording around him and stomping/kicking away at him. Burchill hauls Taz to his feet and violently tosses him to one side of the steel cage. Flair proceeds to drop a vicious elbow and soon after Orton hauls the Champion to his feet and delivers an RKO just like he did to Jericho. McMahon exits the ring and snatches a microphone from ringside. He re-enters the ring as the entire Corporation stands in a circle around Taz. McMahon simply says “This…is your future, TAZ! This is your future…and this future of THIS COMPANY!” The Corporation stand tall to end the show. |

I think this new format could be the breath of fresh air that ICW needs. I've always thought you were better at promos then match writing and often, especially the "throw away" mid card matches, tended to go way too long on your TV anyways. This new format is definately easier on you time wise and to read. It still stands strong, with lots of angles continuing and developing in fresh and unique ways. I think this episode accomplishes what you were going for quite nicely.

Glad to see this up. I've been waiting for the fallout for such a long time. Thanks ofr the reply to Breakdown, helps out alot. I like the layout alot better It makes it much easier for me to read it. Taz vs CD should be great. Cage match? would have saved that for a PPV. Ive never liked the FBI, so I'm glad that the holligins won the match. Nice that the FBI was cheating but they arn't that great. Mickie James? Damn BK & PL are lucky. Never mind. Regal/Nick. meh nevr have be into Nick, Regal should have better things to do. Nice written promo though. GREAT Homicide promo. Loved it. I like the gimmick he has. Have A Nice Day. Good match, better than The opener tbh. I never thought about the losing streak of AJ, good job pointing that out. WGTT/SCS should be good. Kurt Angle vs. CM Punk would be nice as well. Shocked to see Jericho beat the crap out of Orton so easy. Cool though, as it's Randy Orton  . Nevr liked Maven. Paul Burchill that dirty bastard! will finish later. good so far )) |

I haven't been following, so sorry if I sound ignorant. I liked the opening segment. I'm glad it wasn't written out in absolute detail because I felt it might of ended up dragging. McMahon telling Daniels to bring the ICW Championship back to The Corporation is good, wonder what will happen. I've always been a HooliganZ fan, so them getting the win over the F.B.I is good. I liked the idea of the false finish with Maria getting up onto the apron. Alexis James is a great name for Mickie. I loved the segment, with her going sour. Hooliganz vs. The Backseat Boys should be good. I like the idea of Dinsmore using his wrestling skills to prove a point, instead of resorting to underhanded tactics. Regal vs. Dinsmore? Awesome. AWESOME promo with Homicide, the tease of Mick Foley (maybe?) is awesome, I love the idea of a sticker on the title. I like Helms, so him beating AJ is fine with me. Backstage segment with the Corporation was fine, wonder who McMahon has in mind?! I loved Burchill joining TC. The idea of him teasing it is brilliant. Christian and AJ backstage... match between them could be good. Good Matt Hardy promo. RKO onto the chair! Awesome. Taz promo was good, main event should be great. Glad Daniels won. I like The Corporation standing tall to end the show. The fact this isn't 100 pages long makes me so much more interested to read. You have gained a reader.  |

Date: June 25, 2007 Venue: Corpus Christi, Texas Intense Championship Wrestling Monday Night Collision - Episode #26 Opening segment: Video highlights of what occurred last Monday night on Collision… Segment: We transition from last Monday night’s highlights to a shot of a bandaged and bruised Taz, who elicits a MONSTER ovation from the crowd inside the arena. Taz, dressed in all black with the ICW World Championship strapped around his shoulder, is frantically searching for something (or someone). As he continues his trek backstage, he spots Road Agent Gerald Briscoe. Taz beelines right for him, grabs him by the collar of his shirt, and slams him up against the nearby wall. Taz immediately screams “Where are they!?!!?” to which Briscoe replies “WHO!?!?”. Taz utters two words, words that immediately garner a negative reaction from the crowd: “The Corporation!”. Briscoe quickly responds “They haven’t arrived yet, Taz, but…”. Taz releases Briscoe from his grasp and simply says “I’m going to wait right here until those bastards come. When they come…they die”. Opening Video: “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park followed up opening commentary from Joey Styles and Paul Heyman… First Match: William Regal defeats Tony Mamaluke via the Regal Stretch. In his first match since returning to Intense Championship Wrestling Regal was impressive, using his vast knowledge of technical wrestling to ground Mamaluke. Despite their best efforts with outside interference, Mamaluke’s fellow F.B.I. members were caught by referee Teddy Long and were ejected from ringside mid-match. *After the match, William Regal grabs the microphone from ring announcer Bob Artese and proceeds to belittle the current ICW International Champion, ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Nick Dinsmore. Regal calls Dinsmore “an arse whose never learned his lesson. I, my dear fellows, am the reason for Dinsmore’s success. And I will be the end of his success”. Segment: We CUT to a backstage locker room where Brian Kendrick is pacing back and forth in a fit of rage. Paul London, with a scared/worried expression on his face, is seated nervously on a bench. Kendrick stops his pacing and stares into the camera. He begins speaking, saying he doesn’t appreciate how members of the ICW roster are “snapping”. Kendrick says the latest example are the newly debuted Backseat Boys and Alexis James. “They’re nuts, they’re psycho, and you know what?!?! I DON’T LIKE IT! I think it’s MEAN! So you know what? It’s time for the HooliganZ to SNAP back!” COMMERCIALInterview: Josh Matthews is standing by with all three members of Team Angle. Josh Matthews asks Kurt Angle’s opinion about his upcoming match with Colt Cabana later in the evening. Angle says that he “can’t wait to snap Cabana’s ankle”. As Kurt speaks for a few more moments, The Second City Saints stroll onto the scene, the area already filled with tension. Cabana is the first to speak, stating that he’ll simply beat Kurt Angle later on tonight. Ace Steel speaks next, saying that he and Cabana accept the Worlds Greatest Tag Team challenge for a match at Redemption. The two teams stare one another down for a tense moment before The Saints walk away… Second Match: ‘The Notorious 187” Homicide defeats Joey Mercury via The Cop Killa in a Hardcore rules match to retain his Hardcore title. Mercury did not put up much of a fight as Homicide dominated most of the match. Segment: We CUT to backstage where an angry Taz is still roaming around backstage. We see Road Agent Gerald Briscoe, who cautiously approaches Taz. Briscoe tells the fuming Taz that the Corporation entered the arena through another entrance and are currently in their private suite. Taz shoves Briscoe out of the way and begins his trek to find the Corporation. [Taz is intercepted, however, by ICW owner Ted DiBiase and bodyguard Albert…] DiBiase inquires to where Taz is heading to which Taz responds “To kill the Corporation. All of them”. DiBiase responds “Taz, you know I have such great respect for you. And I’m damn proud you’re this company’s World Champion. But going in their, by yourself, is ludicrous. Why don’t we…talk in my office. I have a proposition for you that I’m sure you’ll absolutely love”. DiBiase leads Taz in the opposite direction as we fade to a commercial break… COMMERICALIn-Ring segment: When we return from commercial break, The Corporation make their way down to the ring to HUGE BOOS from the sold out crowd. McMahon immediately grabs the microphone from Bob Artese and begins to rave about the Corporation’s dominance last Monday night. [After a few more minutes of the McMahon gloating, the entrance music of Ted DiBiase blares over the loud speakers to a huge ovation from the crowd…Appearing on the stage with him is ICW World Champion, Taz…] DiBiase calls the entire Corporation a bunch of cowards and says he’s out here to make a groundbreaking, earth shattering announcement. At the next Pay Per View, Redemption, Taz will defend his ICW World Championship against Christopher Daniels in…a…HELL IN A CELL MATCH! The arena erupts while the Corporation immediately freak out, Shane stomping his feet. Meanwhile, Taz has a devilish grin on his face as he is in an intense stared down with Daniels… Interview: Jonathan Coachman is standing by backstage with ‘The Instant Classic’ Christian Cage and Tyson Tomko. Christian dominates the interview early on, saying “Everyone in this company is nothing compared to me and Tyson Tomko. Everyone in this company are a bunch of losers. But the biggest loser not only in this company…but in professional wrestling is the so-called “Phenomenal One” AJ Styles. Ever since he’s made his return, he’s done nothing but lose. Lose, lose and lose. And since I’ve made my return? I’m a winner. I took RVD out of action for a long time”. [Suddenly, AJ Styles interrupts the interview to a nice hand from the sold out crowd. Styles begins to speak, saying…] Styles: “It’s guys like you, Cage, that make me sick to my stomach. That make these people sick to their stomach. I might be on a losing streak, it happens to all of us. But it’s going to end and it’s going to end real soon…and it’s going to end with you. Christian Cage…vs. AJ Styles…at Redemption. What do ya say?”. Cage and Styles stare one another down before Christian replies with “You’re on”. Third Match: Kurt Angle defeats Colt Cabana via disqualification. The match was a wrestling clinic as Cabana showed the world what type of skills he has against the decorated Kurt Angle. Angle had Cabana in his ankle lock when MASATO TANAKA made his return from injury by storming down the ring and beating down Angle. The World’s Greatest Tag Team attempted to save their leader but Punk and Ace Steel quickly made things uneven. The Worlds Greatest Tag Team retreated to the back while The Second City Saints and the returning Masato Tanaka stand tall in the ring.COMMERCIAL Segment: ‘The Notorious 187’ Homicide is walking backstage, fresh out of his wrestling gear though the Hardcore Title is strapped around his waist. Homicide is walking by several agents and road agents, ignoring all of them. He stops outside of his dressing room when he notices a fairly young man standing nearby. Homicide gives him a look then quickly double takes. The man is wearing a t-shirt of a giant, yellow smiley face. Homicide looks enraged as the crowd pops huge. Homicide screams for the man “to the hell out of his face” which he quickly does. Homicide proceeds to open the door to his dressing room…and finds that it has been trashed! His clothes are thrashed around the room, his locker pushed to the floor. Finally, a giant smiley face is spray painted on the wall. Right underneath the smiley face are four words spray painted on the wall: “HAVE A NICE DAY!”. The crowd is going absolutely insane with cheers while Homicide flips his lid! Fourth Match: ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill with Katie Lea defeats Rey Mysterio Jr. via the C-4 to retain his ICW Television Championship. Shane McMahon joined Joey Styles and Paul Heyman on commentary, constantly praising Burchill and gloating about what an asset he will be to the Corporation. The match was fairly one sided; Mysterio went for his trademark West Coast Pop during the match but Burchill countered it to a destructive power bomb. Segment: William Regal is seen backstage, dressed in a nice suit and wheeling his luggage. He curtly nods to agents and appears to be heading out of the arena. Suddenly, Regal is attacked by the ICW International Champion ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Nick Dinsmore. Dinsmore and Regal are brawling with Dinsmore eventually getting the upper hand. Regal is lying on the ground while Dinsmore stomps and kicks away at him. He’s eventually pulled away by security while Dinsmore screams obscenities towards Regal. COMMERCIALInterview: Todd Grisham is standing by backstage with the Lightweight Champion ‘Y2J’ Chris Jericho, who receives a monster ovation from the crowd. Jericho immediately takes the microphone from Todd and begins to speak: “Thanks a lot, Tom, but I don’t need you to ask me any questions. It’s pretty straight forward: Randy Orton beat me down badly last Monday night. In fact, he beat me down so bad that I’m not cleared to wrestle until next Monday night. You and Paul Burchill abused me. Hell, you RKO’ed me onto a steel chair. Randy Orton, just wait until I’m fully recovered and I get my hands on you. Burchill, Daniels, Flair…they won’t be able to stop me”. [Suddenly, the number one contender for the ICW Lightweight Championship, Shane Helms, comes onto the screen} Shane: Chris, I respect the hell out of ya. I think you’re a great wrestler and a cool guy. But as I’m sure you know, I’m the number one contender for your Lightweight Championship. That means that at Redemption, I’m going to be facing you for that title. And I’m here to tell ya I’m going to win. And I’m going to win fair…and square. [Jericho and Helms stare down one another as we CUT to a new segment…] Video montage: The screen is momentarily dark, void of any sight. However, the intense sound of a tribal drum being banged over and over again can be clearly heard. Suddenly, drops of blood begin to fall. Soon, the drops of the blood spell out a single word: DETERMINATION. As the loud drum continues to be played, we also hear several commentators screaming different things such as “OH MY GOD!” and “He has shown why he is such a dominating force in this business!”. We see a shadow of this mysterious wrestler…and see the face of Paul Heyman beside him. We proceed to hear Heyman laughing before the video comes to an abrupt end. MAIN EVENT MATCH: ICW World Champion Taz defeats Randy Orton with the Corporation (minus Daniels) via the Tazmission. *After the match: Taz continued to lock in the Tazmission with the referee attempting to pull him off of Orton. The entire Corporation enter the ring and Taz immediately releases the choke hold. He nails Shane McMahon with a VICIOUS forearm shot that absolutely floors him. Taz proceeds to closeline Ric Flair up and over the ringside ropes and ‘Nature Boy’ hits the ringside floor HARD. Taz then nails Paul Burchill with a Brooklyn Boot to the face! That leaves Katie Lea, whose standing at ringside with a terrified expression on her face. Taz quickly exits the ring and Katie attempts to jet…but Taz grabs her by her long hair and yanks her towards him. He rolls her into the ring and quickly follows. He drags Katie Lea to her feet…AND APPLIES THE TAZMISSION! The fans are going nuts as Taz has absolutely SNAPPED! Finally, Christopher Daniels comes storming down to the ring and Taz releases the chokehold, allowing Katie Lea to collapse to the canvas. Daniels and Taz brawl in the center of the ring, each going blow for blow. The two continue to brawl as the show comes to an end… |

I really like how ICW is progressing. The angles are all progressing nicely and you've seemingly adapted your style flawlessly to a summarized format. I do see a bit of an issue with a lot of new talents being short of shoved in, a square peg in a round hole, but hopefully they will not look quite so out of place later. The Corperation angle is progressing very nicely. Taz being the dominatant killer still, the savior of ICW over the Corperation, is kind of ironic to me, since you were originally not going to push him at all, until the unfortunate circumstances of July 2007.
Overall, I'm excited to see how ICW continues and progresses. An overall good showing

Date: July 2, 2007 Venue: Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas Intense Championship Wrestling Monday Night Collision – Episode 27 Opening segment: Video highlights of what occurred last Monday night on Collision… Segment: Randy Orton is walking cautiously in one of the arena’s parking garages. Orton is looking left and right, apparently in search of someone. Orton appears to be absolutely puzzled and annoyed; he soon stops his trek and pulls out an i-Phone from his khaki pants. After he dials the number, we hear him say “Shane? Shane? Can you hear me? Why did you want to meet me here of all places? What do you mean where? A road agent told me you wanted to meet me in parking garage 22-C and that’s exactly where I am. What? What do you mean you didn’t ask to see me? Shane I…”. Suddenly, Chris Jericho violently spears Orton to the concrete floor as the crowd is overheard going absolutely CRAZY with applause. Jericho has now mounted Orton and is pounding away at him. Jericho pulls Orton to a vertical base and SLAMS his head THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD of a black car. Orton collapses to the floor in a bloody mess. Jericho stares down at the battered Orton and kicks him violently in the ribs before storming off… Opening video: “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park followed by opening commentary from Joey Styles and Paul Heyman. First match: The Backseat Boyz defeat The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) via Double-Crucifix Powerbomb] The Backseat Boyz impressed in their in-ring debuts. Little Guido was on the receiving end of a devastating Yakuza Kick from Trent Acid before being nailed with the Double-Crucifix Powerbomb. Big Guido attempted to get his hands on the Backseats, however, was double superkicked to end his threat. Promo: ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles is alone in a backstage locker room dressed in his street gear. His head his down as he begins to speak… “Sometimes I really regret coming to Intense Championship Wrestling. I made my debut at the Royal Rumble, watching Christopher Daniels and RVD fight for the Ultimate Xtreme Championship. After that match, I announced to the world that I would challenge Daniels the next night for that title picture…and I ended up losing. But things got better. A month later, I FINALLY captured that piece of gold…and had a total of 2 successful defenses before LOSING the belt at WRESTLE MANIA! And I decided it was time to leave after that. Take some time off from this company…but I ended up coming back. And since then…I’ve done NOTHING but lose. I should be going for the World Championship but I can’t buy a victory right now. Well, that ends tonight. Tonight, I take on the undefeated and the current Television Champion Paul Burchill. ‘Ripper’, tonight you’re gonna lose. Tonight I once again show the world how I am ‘The Phenomenal One’. And after I beat ya tonight…I go for Christian Cage. Cage, you’re a real cocky son of a bitch. You’re someone I’ve come to really hate throughout the years…hell since our days in TNA. At Redemption, I’m going to beat the ever living hell out of you…and show you that I’m ‘The Phenomenal One’ COMMERCIALPromo: Sir. William Regal is backstage dressed in an elegant three piece suit. He is alone, standing in front of an ICW Monday Night Collision backdrop. He begins to speak… “They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, Nick Dinsmore my boy, I sincerely hope you are ready for that cold dish. What you did to me all those months ago at Wrestle Mania has never been erased from my mind. I’ve thought about your treachery, thought about your deceit…and it makes me angrier every time. You used to run around like an overgrown child when I so desperately tried to set you straight. And how do you repay me? You beat me. You belittle me on the grandest stage of them all. Well, my dear boy, I’m back in ICW to extract my revenge. And that revenge starts at Redemption. Such a fitting name for a Pay Per View considering our situation. So, my dear boy, I formally challenge you to a match at Redemption for your ICW International Championship. Not only will I extract my revenge against you, sunshine, but I’ll bring some dignity to the International Championship…" Second match – ICW Hardcore Title match: ‘The Notorious 187’ Homicide (c) defeats Joey Mercury (with Johnny Nitro and Melina) via The Cop Killa. Mercury put up a decent battle, using the ringside presence of Nitro and Melina to his advantage. However, all three members of MNM were taken out after a plancha from Homicide. AFTERMATH OF MATCH: As Homicide is celebrating his victory… “WRECK” plays over the loud speakers to AN EARTH SHATTERING APPLAUSE. Stepping onto to the stage wearing his signature open button, red flannel with a plain black tee, black sweat pants and sneakers is MICK FOLEY! Foley raises his fist high into the air which garners an even BIGGER OVATION from the crowd. Foley strolls down the ramp and rolls into the ring, Homicide looking shocked. Foley mounts the middle rope of the South-East corner and once again raises his fist. He asks Bob Artese for a microphone, which he happily hands to him. Foley’s music dies down but the crowd is ELECTRIC, chanting “FOLEY! FOLEY! FOLEY!”. Foley begins to speak…“After months of being absent from professional wrestling, Mick Foley is BACK! [HUGE CHEERS from the crowd!]. And boy oh boy is Mick Foley glad that he’s made his return RIGHT HERE IN DALLAS, TEXAS! [HUGEEEEE CHEAP POP FROM THE CROWD]. For the past few months, I’ve been sitting at home and every single Monday night I’ve tuned into this very show. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen, everything I’ve heard…except for one thing. [Foley points directly at Homicide]. Ya see, Homicide, Mick Foley was behind you. I bought into the story of the unknown wrestler beating a legend like Taz to capture some gold. I’ve watched every match since you’ve been here and I’m impressed with all your title defenses. Hell, that No-Rope barbed wire match I saw at D-Day was brutal…and you still walked out as champion. But then…I heard some of your comments after that match. You’re not very humble are you, Homicide? You like to talk and talk and talk…and Mrs. Foley little boy was taught that talking can get anyone in a lot of trouble. You think you should be called the Hardcore Icon of this business? You think because you’ve beaten Taz, Sabu, Rhino, Sandman…that you’re the greatest hardcore wrestler in the world? Well Mick Foley is here to flat out tell you…that you’re not. Because you haven’t beaten me. Mick Foley is THE HARDCORE ICON OF THIS BUSINESS! I’ve lost an ear, I’ve gotten scars all over my body, I’ve FALLEN from the very top of a Hell in a Cell. What I’ve done throughout my career…you can NEVER match it! So I’ll be DAMNED if I sit at home and listen to your big mouth. Yes, it WAS me who attacked you two weeks ago. Yes, it was me who destroyed your dressing room last Monday night…and it’s going to be me that beats YOU at Redemption for your Hardcore title [HUGE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD!] Suddenly, Foley charges at Homicide and begins pounding away at him with stiff right hands! Homicide has backed into the South-West corner as Foley continues to batter him away. Eventually, Homicide escapes Foley’s assault and slides under the ring. Homicide retreats up the ramp, staring at Foley wide-eyed. Foley, in turn, just grins… Interview: Al Snow (with Head) is standing by with Team Angle. Snow asks Kurt Angle his feelings about Masato Tanaka returning last Monday night. Angle goes off a minor tirade… “First of all, who decided it was a good idea to make you a backstage interviewer? You carry around a freaking mannequin head! [Snow grips Head in a more protective manner] You’re a psychopath! I seriously question the capability of our boss. Secondly, Masato Tanaka means NOTHING to me. Not a DAMN thing. I hurt him once and I’ll do it again tonight. Only this time…this time it’s going to be worse. I’m going to break his ankle. Hell I’ll do more than that, Al. I’ll end his CAREER tonight! Masato, you should have never aligned yourself with CM Punk. You should have done your own thing instead of aligning yourself with a...a…PUNK! CM Punk for that matter! Tonight, I’m going to make you pay. Tonight is the last night anyone will ever see you in an ICW ring. Oh it’s true…it’s true" COMMERCIALSegment: Trent Acid, Johnny Kashmere and Alexis James are walking backstage, all three in good spirits following the Backseats victory earlier on. All three are lugging suitcases, clearly ready to leave the arena. It’s fairly quiet backstage…until the cameras pick up someone saying in a whispered tone “1…2…3…SNAP!”. Suddenly, The HooliganZ pop out of nowhere and jump The Backseats. London is exchanging blows with Kashmere, Kendrick with Acid. The HooliganZ are putting up a decent fight until Alexis James LEVELS London with a Chick Kick…and does the same to Kendrick! Both HooliganZ collapse to the concrete floor, Acid and Kashmere stomping away at the both of them. Alexis orders her guys to stop before bending down and staring at the passed out bodies of The HooliganZ. She says in angry tone : “You two think you can take The Backseat Boyz? Well guess what? We’ll give you that opportunity…at Redemption” Third match: Masato Tanaka with The Second City Saints defeat Kurt Angle with Team Angle via The Burning Hammer. Angle did not live up to his promise of ending Tanaka’s career as the Japanese superstar was extremely aggressive, leveling Angle with chops, kicks and suplexes. Angle put up a decent fight, however, even getting Tanaka in the Ankle lock but Tanaka managed to get to the ropes. AFTER MATCH OF MATCH: Immediately following the match, a brawl erupted in the middle of the ring between The Second City Saints and Team Angle. Punk and Angle are exchanging hard blows, Benjamin and Cabana going at in the North-East corner and Hass/Steel fighting on the outside. Masato Tanaka opts to double team with Punk, both men battering Angle. Suddenly, RHINO beelines down the ramp and slides into the ring. He pulls Masato off of Angle…AND CLOSELINES HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE?!?!?! He pulls Cabana off of Benjamin, kicks him in the midsection…AND DELIVERES A PILEDRIVER! Punk seems unaware of what is going on as he continues to batter away at Angle. He finally stops, turns around….AND RECIEVES A GORE! Meanwhile, Haas SLAMS a steel chair over the head of Steel! He slides into the ring and Team Angle stands tall. Angle grabs a microphone and introduces ‘The Man Beast’ as the newest member of Team Angle![/b] Segment: We CUT to a pre-taped vignette. The Rebellions – James Gibson and Kid Kash – are standing in a worn down wrestling ring in a dingy gym. The two look absolutely exhausted, both drenched in sweat. We hear the distinct voice of the ‘mystery man’ encouraging both men, screaming for them to do particular wrestling moves. Gibson and Kash comply, with Gibson nailing Kash with a picture perfect Release German Suplex. Upon impact, neither stand to a vertical base but instead lie in the middle of the ring exhausted. ‘The Mystery Man’ screams words of encouragement but The Rebellions are not listening. Instead, Kash turns to Gibson and says “this better be worth it!” before we cut to commercial. COMMERCIAL Segment: Our cameras are backstage where the number one contender for the Lightweight Championship, ‘Sugar’ Shane Helms, is chatting with road agent Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat (who receives a nice cheer from the crowd). The two seem to be in a pleasant conversation…that is halted by the presence of the entire Corporation (who receive MONSTER boos from the sold out crowd). Steamboat immediately walks away as Shane approaches Helms with a broad smile on his face… “How ya doing, Shane? I know The Corporation has approached you once before about jumping onboard with us…but I thought we’d give you another opportunity. You’re the number one contender for the Lightweight Championship and it sure would be great seeing you beat Chris Jericho at Redemption…of course, if you were to join us we could guarantee you that that will happen… ” Helms shakes his head before speaking… “McMahon, I’ve told ya once and I’ll tell ya again…I don’t need The Corporation. I appreciate that you guys have so much faith in me that you want me to jump onboard. But the truth is…I aint no traitor. I realize that Mr. DiBiase has been nothing but gracious to me since I came here. And, I managed to beat Styles AND Mysterio in that triple threat match at D-Day all by myself. I didn’t need anyone’s help…and I don’t need anyone’s help beatin’ Chris Jericho at Redemption” Helms walks away, leaving McMahon and the rest of The Corporation very annoyed. McMahon looks to ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill and says “Come on…your match is next” before storming off, The Corporation following… Fourth match: ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill with The Corporation defeats ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles via The C-4 to retain the ICW Television Championship. Styles put up a valiant fight, perhaps the strongest fight Burchill has fended off, but it was not enough. Burchill and The Corporation retreat to the back…but Christian Cage and Tyson Tomko cockily walk down the ringAFTERMATH OF MATCH: Cage enters the ring and begins stomping away at Styles. After assaulting the fan favorite, Styles is pulled to a vertical base…and receives an Unprettier from Christian. Soon, Tomko enters the ring with two steel chairs in hand. He hands one to Christian, who pulls Styles up to a vertical base. In an almost barbaric showing, Cage and Tomko conhairto Styles, leaving him a bloody mess in the ring.Interview: Josh Matthews is standing by with the ICW International Champion ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Nick Dinsmore. Matthews point blankly asks Dinsmore if he accepts William Regal’s challenge to a International Championship match at Redemption… “Since you asked me in such an upfront manner, Josh, I’ll answer you the same way: you’re damn right I accept his challenge. These idiots may be rooting for Regal, rooting for him to de-thrown me…but it is not going to ever happen. I heard Regal’s remarks earlier, heard how he doesn’t think I deserve to be called ‘Mr. Wrestling’. Well my old pal Regal has obviously not seen me recently. I have been, pound for pound, the best all around wrestler in this company. I have beaten some big talent, I have pulled off the most impressive moves that anyone has seen. I’m the International Champion for a god damn reason and people around here need to respect that. And the first person whose going to learn the hard way when it comes to respecting ‘Mr. Wrestling’ is William Regal. I strongly suggest that other people, wrestlers and fans, take the easy way because I intend to make an example out of Regal come Redemption…” COMMERCIALInterview: Jonathan Coachman is standing by with the current ICW Lightweight Champion, Chris Jericho, who elicits a MONSTER ovation from the crowd. The Coach asks Jericho about his upcoming main event match against Christopher Daniels… “Well, Jerry, it’s quite simple. Christopher Daniels and the rest of those ass-clowns has run amok in Intense Championship Wrestling. They’ve walked around like they own place when they really don’t. They want to start a war, well they got one, junior. The biggest ass-clown of them is…Randy Orton. Randy, I did you justice tonight and as I understand it you’re watching from a televison in a local hospital. It’s a shame that you can’t be at ringside tonight because I would have whooped your ass all over the arena. As for my jack-ass opponent for tonight, I…" Jericho is suddenly interrupted as the ICW World Champion, Taz, enters the picture to a MONSTER ovation from the crowd. The two have a mini-stare down, there dislike for one another not entirely forgotten. Taz, surprisingly, breaks the stare and begins… “I know you and I have some unfinished business. You know I don’t like you and I know you don’t like me. You might be the Lightweight Champion but I know you’ve been eyein’ my gold since day 1. But all of that…all of that is squashed for now. Because you and I are the god damn leaders of this company…and this company has a disgusting cancer in it. And you and I are the ones who gotta KILL it. I’ll be out there at ringside tonight. You beat Daniels, tonight. You send a message to those bastards. Then come Redemption…I’ll give them the killin’ blow". Jericho nods in approval as the two champions leave…together. Pre-taped vignette: Our screen turns dark. We hear an intense drum beat. Suddenly, the word SACRAFICE flash onto the screen in a blood red color. Another intense drum beat and the word “MACHINE” flashes onto the screen. This time, we hear the voice over of Joey Styles screaming “OH MY GAWD, HE NEARLY KILLED HIM!”. One final drum beat and this time the words “COMING SOON” flash onto the screen before we fade to black. We proceed to the announcing table where once again Paul Heyman claims to know who this person is and claims that he will be unleashed when the time is right… MAIN EVENT: ICW Lightweight Champion Chris Jericho with Taz defeats Christopher Daniels with The Corporation via The Walls of Jericho. It was a back in fourth match that featured plenty of high-flying moves. Mid-match, McMahon hopped onto the ring apron to distract the referee, however, the move proved to be costly. Jericho leveled McMahon off the apron with an uppercut before taking out the ENTIRE Corporation with a plancha to the outside. After the match, Jericho and Taz stand tall in the ring to end the show… |

Finally getting around to reading this. My apologies for the delay.
Opener with the Backseat Boys was pretty cool. I like the Backseat Boys in ICW and I think they will blend in nicely. they have the charisma and the charecter to blend in to ICW flawlessly. I expect them to go far.
A very good promo by AJ Styles followed by a great one from Regal. You really nailed a lot of Regal's mannerisms and speaking ways and made for a great promo.
Homicide beats Joey Mercury in what kind of seemed like a throw away match, but it does well for Homicide.
I didn't like the Mick Foley promo. You definately nailed Foley's way of talking, but the promo just sort of seemed to lack direction. It went from loveable jolly WWF 2000s Mick to dark and pissed off ECW 1995 Mick, with seemingly no transition. this would have been a case where a longer promo, more mannerisms written in, more pacing.. It would have done wonders.
The Backseat Boys segment seemed odd. I don't like how the match was just made, instantly. I would have prefered if The Backseats did something heinous, like slamming a garage door down on one of the Hooligans or something, injure one of them, so they want revenge, but even then there's the confusing line blur of the babyfaces attacking the heels for no apparent reason, and they can't really be vengeful because they got their asses kicked.
Decent vignette with Gibson & Kash
A bit of an odd phrasing that you should try to avoid in the future with "as Shane approaches Helms". Wording is key. Should have written as McMahon approaches Helms, or have someone else entirely walk towards him. It's the WWE logic. If two people have the same names, fans are bound to get confused. Other than that, a good segment.
Kind of bad that Burchill beats Styles, in what seemed like little effort. Perhaps it's the abbriviated format, but I feel like a lot of the matches are just murder matches, and seem to hurt the credibility of the guys losing.
A great Taz/Jericho promo. Seems to set up a future super fight.
the word Sacrafice flashed on the screen? It's a bitch when spell checkers don't pick up caps, isn't it? You should fire whoever is doing your production videos, because they don't know how to spell sacrifice.
Main event was a nice match. Good way to end the show. Certainly confirms my belief of a future superfight between Jericho & Taz. Kind of early Austin/Rock Mania X7 build there.
Overall, a nice show. I'd fix the pacing of the show a little bit, try to add some more detailing into the matches. Not saying full blown matches are needed every time, just something so matches don't feel like murder squashes.

Date: July 9, 2007 Venue: Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana Intense Championship Wrestling – Episode 28 Opening segment: Video highlights of what occurred last Monday night on Collision… Segment: The very first sight we behold on Monday Night Collision is a very, very violent brawl backstage between the number one contender for the ICW World Championship, Christopher Daniels, and the ICW World Champion, Taz. The two are exchanging STIFF blows, neither man gaining an edge over the other. The two continue to trek around backstage, beating one another senseless. Finally, it’s Taz who gains the upper hand by shoving Daniels onto a table! He continues to pound away at his skull when the ENTIRE Corporation comes running to the rescue. Burchill, Orton and Flair pound away at Taz, literally prying him off of Daniels. The 3 on 1 assault begins as Shane McMahon checks on his prize member. Finally, help arrives in the form of Chris Jericho. This wild brawl continues for a couple of more minutes before trainers, referees, and various ICW wrestlers break up the fight. DiBiase orders the brawl to stop and says tonight’s main event featuring Taz and Jericho vs. Daniels and Orton will be a No disqualification match! Opening Video: “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park followed by opening commentary from Joey Styles and Paul Heyman. First match: The Second City Saints (Ace Steel and Colt Cabana) with CM Punk defeated MNM with Melina via schoolboy rollup by Ace Steel on Johnny Nitro. The matchup was all MNM in the early going, who relied on frequently tagging in one another to keep fresh. Cabana was the victim of MNM’s strategy before FINALLY nailing Mercury with a nasty lariat and tagging in Steel. Steel was impressive, nailing Mercury with a Gory Neckbreaker. Towards the end of the match, Melina hopped onto the ring apron to distract the referee as Nitro, the legal man at the time, was on the receiving ends of blistering chops from Steel. Steel saw her and grabbed a large junk of her hair! Nitro attempted to make the save…but accidently knocked Melina off the apron! Steel rolled him up for the victory! After the match, Nitro and Mercury were seen bickering with Melina. Segment: The HooliganZ are in their locker room. Kendrick has a look of wonderment while London is sitting on a bench with a confused look on his face… Brian Kendrick: Okay…so our plan of SNAPPING last Monday night didn’t really work. Ya see, London and I had a plan. A PLAN! We were going to change into real vicious sons of bitches, we were going to take the world of professional wrestling by it’s THROAT! We were going to SNEAK ATTACK The Backseat Boyz after their match…and we blew it! I mean…we planned this highly risky and highly complicated plan for an entire week! And ever since our failure, two things have happened. One…The Backseat Boyz challenged us to a match at Redemption. And two…I had an epiphany. That’s right, I realized something that will forever change The HooliganZ. Ya see, The Backseat Boyz have something that London and I don’t… a very attractive female manager that can kick ass! Think about it! Alexis James made things unfair last Monday night! [London gets to his feet, the look of confusion on his face being quickly erased with a wide grin…] Paul London: And then I realized he was right! Alexis James, you lovely bully, you gave the HooliganZ a beating along with Kashmere and Acid. So me and Kendrick decided to make some calls! Nicole Bass…well she said no. CHYNA…well…she just hung up on us. We were REALLY looking forward to Nicole Bass, by the way. ANYWAYS, we were being rejected…until…until we found her . [Camera zooms out of focus of The HooliganZ to reveal…VICTORIA! Crowd gives a nice hand as Victoria, with an unamused look on her face, is standing with her arms crossed.] Victoria: Let’s make one thing perfectly clear…I’m here to CHANGE you boys. I know the potential you both have, I’ve seen it. So that’s why I’m going to make you boy get your damn act together. Secondly…Alexis James, I’ve never liked you. In fact, I’ve always thought you were nothing but a slutty BITCH. Knowing that you were the one managing those losers…it made me really want to align myself with these two. Because not only will my boys beat the holy hell out of yours…but I’m gonna make sure you never mess with them again . [London slyly slips his arms around Victoria’s waist with a wider grin on her face…but Victoria simply slaps London in the face and quickly retracts his arm.] COMMERCIAL Segment: Our cameras are backstage in the locker room of Team Angle… Kurt Angle: Ladies and gentlemen of Lafayette, Louisiana. While I understand that all of you are nothing but a bunch of hicks that do nothing all day but scratch your asses (HUGE BOOS from the crowd)…I would like all of you please welcome the newest member of Team Angle…RHINO! [While the camera pans to Rhino, wearing a cut-at-the-sleeve Team Angle t-shirt, the crowd erupts into boos! Team Angle responds to the crowd boos with disgusted look on their faces…] Kurt Angle: I wouldn’t expect you people to show a little integrity! With the addition of ‘The Man Beast’ Rhino, Team Angle has INSURED themselves better protection against those Chicago lowlife THUGS and their Japanese pet, The Second City Saints [HUGE POP from the crowd!]. And with that said, our newest member has something to say…
Rhino: Masato Tanaka, I’m going to be brutally honest with you. I’ve never liked you since our days in ECW. You have this reputation of being a warrior, someone whose the best of the best…well so far Team Angle has shown you and those Saints otherwise. And you know what, Masato? I PERSONALLY plan on showing you what Team Angle is all about. How about it, Tanaka. Me, you, hardcore rules at Redemption. Let’s see if you can handle ‘The Man Beast’! But I’m telling your ass right now…if you accept my challenge, you won’t walk out of Redemption…because I plan on Goring you straight to hell.
Kurt: Oh it’s true. It’s DAMN true! Second Match: Masato Tanaka with CM Punk defeats Maven via The Burning Hammer. In his second straight outing since returning to Intense Championship Wrestling, Maven was utterly dominated. Tanaka didn’t rely on any weapon use; he strictly out wrestled Maven with powerful offensive moves, including a sitout Powerbomb that Maven somehow found the strength to kick out of. After the match, CM Punk entered the ring with a microphone in hand and said:
Punk: RHINO! Rhino, if you didn’t get Masato’s message let me spell it out for ya…he GLADLY accepts your challenge to a Hardcore rules match at Redemption. Masato Tanaka is better than you in every single way, shape and form. You better prepare yourself to get The Burning Hammer!Segment: Our cameras CUT backstage where Homicide is sitting on the floor, his back up against the wall. The Hardcore Title is strapped around his shoulders… “I knew it was him. All the signs, all the evidence…it all pointed to Mick Foley [HUGE pop from the crowd!] Mick Foley is an icon in Hardcore wrestling…hell some people say he IS Hardcore wrestling. The man has wrestled in barbed wire, the man had his own tooth shoved up his nose…but the most crazy thing is that he smiles about it. Any man would scream in pain, any man would beg for mercy…but that crazy son of a bitch actually smiles. He welcomes pain, he loves pain. Mick Foley, I know you’re dangerous. I know you’re crazy. I know that my Puerto Rican ass is going to be battered and beaten. But Foley…make no mistake about it. I’m not afraid of you. Yeah, you are one crazy son of a bitch but ya know what? So am I. I can guarantee that you’ve NEVER wrestled a kid like ME. I’m the Hardcore Champion for a reason! Look at who I’ve beaten in this company! I’ve beaten Taz in a Stretcher match, I’ve beaten Rhino AND Sabu in a No Rope Barbed Wire match! Foley, you don’t scare me! I’m younger…and BETTER than you. You’re gonna get your ass handed to you this Sunday night. You’re gonna see what it’s like steppin’ into the ring with ‘The Notorious 187’. I’m gonna hurt you so bad, Foley, that you aint ever gonna want to step to me. Prepare yourself, Foley…because your ass is grass come Sunday night. COMMERCIALSegment: The number one contender for the ICW Lightweight Championship, ‘Sugar’ Shane Helms, is alone in the locker room... “Ya know…Sunday night is my big break. This Sunday, I get to show the world what Shane Helms is all about. I have a chance to show everyone why I should be a major player not only in Intense Championship Wrestling but professional wrestling altogether. Now…let me make one thing perfectly clear to all of my fans and to ICW management: you have my WORD that I will not accept The Corporation’s offer to help me win my match this Sunday night. Chris Jericho, I plan on beatin’ ya fair…and square. I don’t take shortcuts, I don’t take the easy way out. Jericho, you’re just gonna get Shane Helms…and ya better watch out because I promise I’m walking out of Redemption as the NEW Lightweight Champion. Third match: ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill with Shane McMahon defeats Little Guido. via the C-4 to retain his ICW Television Title. Guido was overmatched by the unstoppable Burchill, whose neutralized Guido with various suplexes and even nailed an impressive Standing Shooting Star press before finishing him off with the C-4. Segment: The Coach is standing by with Christian Cage and his loyal insurance police, Tyson Tomko. Both men receive loud boos from the sold out crowd! Coach: Christian Cage you are just days away from stepping into the ring with AJ Styles. Styles is frankly tired of you belittling him and he hopes to pull of a victory over you this Sunday night. Now… Christian: Woah, woah, woah wait a second there, Coach. You said AJ Styles is “tired of me belittling” him? What you should say is that AJ Styles is tired of me speaking the truth! ‘The Instant Classic’ is all about speaking the truth, Coach, so allow me to take this oppertunity to state a few FACTS: AJ Styles is on a losing streaking of epic proportions. AJ Styles hasn’t been successful in this company for a very, very long time. And here’s the best fact of them all…this Sunday night, Christian Cage is going to beat down AJ Styles. Christian Cage, in front of all his peeps, is going to nail the Unprettier for the one…two…three. Styles decided to throw a temper tantrum because he couldn’t stand me calling him exactly what he is: a loser. And this Sunday night, he’s going to continue his personal trend of being a big, fat LOSER. I'm going to humilate him and more importantly...I'm going to make him REALLY wish he never came back to ICW. Only the strong can survive here, Coach. And it's looking more and more every single day that the one thing Styles is not...is strong COMMERCIAL Segment: Our cameras are backstage where we see Mick Foley speaking to none other than Al Snow (with Head). Foley seems to have told a joke as he jolly laughs while Snow walks away rolling his eyes before muttering to Head. Foley continues laughing, turns around…and his laughter immediately seizes. Standing mere inches away from him is Homicide and the arena is filled with palpable tension. The two lock eyes and engage in an intense stare down. After a few moments, Homicide simply lifts his ICW Hardcore title in the air before slowly walking off. Foley watches him leave the arena and the camera focuses on his intense gaze for a few more seconds… Segment: Our cameras cut backstage to the office of Ted DiBiase. DiBiase is seated behind his Maplewood desk while Commissioner Tod Gordon is standing on his right side and Albert to his left. Ted DiBiase: Fans of Intense Championship Wrestling…today, Commissioner Gordon and myself received some rather unfortunate news in regards to Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy. As you all know, Rob Van Dam was severely injured at the hands of Christian Cage at D-Day. Unfortunately, Rob Van Dam will be out indefinitely. As you can all understand, injuries take their toll on athlete’s bodies and ‘Mr. Monday Night’ is no different. We wish him a speedy recovery. Ted DiBiase: In regards to Jeff Hardy…Jeff has suffered not only severe physical damages but emotional ones as well. As you all know, Jeff was assaulted by his own flesh and blood, Matt Hardy, following their losing effort in a TLC match against the Impact Players at D-Day. Because Jeff has suffered severe trauma…we are sadden to inform you that he has asked and been granted his release. We certainly wish Jeff luck in all of his future endeavors and he knows he will always have a home in Intense Championship Wrestling. Ted DiBiase: Finally...Intense Championship Wrestling and the entire world were both shocked and sadden to learn of the tragic deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son, Daniel. As a company, we have opted not to comment on the situation until a full report was made. As many of you know, Chris Benoit was a long time member of the Intense Championship Wrestling roster and on the night of one of our Pay Per Views, When World’s Collide, he asked and was granted his release. We would like to take this time to wish our deepest condolences to the Benoit family. Furthermore…while we understand that Chris Benoit was apart of our wrestling promotion, we have asked all commentators, all wrestlers and all staff to no longer mention his name in the foreseeable future. With all of the facts that have been brought to our attention the past week, I hope you all understand. Again, Intense Championship Wrestling would like to send our deepest condolences to the Benoit family…and God bless them. Thank you. Fourth match: AJ Styles, William Regal and Mick Foley defeat Christian Cage, Nick Dinsmore and Homicide in a Six man Tag Team match fought under Hardcore rules when AJ Styles pinned Christian Cage. This match was pure mayhem as Hardcore rules were in full affect! Referee John Finnegan had a very difficult time restoring order as brawls frequently erupted in the ring. To start the match off, Dinsmore and Regal kept things fairly civil with masterful chain wrestling. However, that was short lived as Homicide and Mick Foley were tagged in; both wrestlers made full use of the match being under Hardcore rules. The end of the match saw AJ Styles nail The Styles Clash for the victory!AFTERMATH: All hell broke loose as referee John Finnegan quickly escaped the ring. Brawling in the ring was Homicide and Mick Foley, the two exchanging blow for blow. Meanwhile, Christian Cage and AJ Styles were exchanging blows by the announcing table while Regal and Dinsmore fought up the ramp! Numerous referees and road agents had to break up the three separate brawls!COMMERCIALInterview: Josh Matthews is standing by with the ICW Lightweight Champion, Chris Jericho. Josh: Chris, in just a few nights you will defend your Lightweight Championship against ‘Sugar’ Shane Helms. Tonight, however, you team with the ICW World Champion Taz [MOSTER OVATION] to take on Christopher Daniels and Randy Orton who represent The Corporation [MONSTER BOOS!]. At the opening of our show, Ted DiBiase announced the match would be no disqualification. Your thoughts?
Jericho: Well, John.. Josh: Mr. Jericho…it’s…my name isn’t Josh. Or Jerry. It’s JOSH. JOSH! Jericho: As I was saying before I was being rudely interrupted, John…tonight is a huge main event, possibly the biggest main event Monday Night Collision has ever seen. Now everyone knows there’s no love lost between me and Taz…but as it was made clear a week ago, we’re on the same page. We both understand that The Corporation are nothing more but a loud mouth ass clowns that need to be stopped before they become a serious threat. Tonight, I plan on doing some damage, tonight I plan to badly…badly hurt Randy Orton. Orton, you’re not going to be safe stepping into that ring tonight. I don’t care if you have Burchill, Shane-O Mac or WOOOOO ‘The Nature Boy’ himself…it’s not going to stop me. Now, if you’ll excuse, John Markson, Chris Jericho, I have a match coming up next. [Jericho storms off…] Josh Mattehws: IT’S JOSH MATTHEWS! JOSH MATTHEWS! Promo: The ICW World Champion, Taz, is backstage and receives a MONSTER OVATION from the sold out Louisiana crowd. Taz has just finished tapping up his wrists and the ICW World Championship is already strapped around his waist. Taz proceeds to drape his signature cut up black towel over his head before storming out of his room. We CUT to The Corporation’s luxurious arena suite. Christopher Daniels is seated on a bench and receiving a massage of the shoulders from a presumed personal trainer. Daniels suddenly gets up, grabs his leather jacket, and puts it on. Shane McMahon taps him on the shoulder as Daniels calmly walks out of the suite with the entire Corporation behind him… Vignette: Our screen turns black. Once again, we hear that familiar, heavy drum beat. Suddenly, the word “HONOR” appears on the screen in a crimson blood color. Another dream beat, another word appears: “UNSTOPPABLE”. A final drum beat, multiple words appearing on the screen that ready: “COMING SOON”. Morphing onto the screen is an image of Paul Heyman grinning widely and we hear the sound of him laughing. Our cameras cut back to the commentary booth where Heyman once again states that he knows who this man is, he’s responsible for bringing him in, and promised to unleash him when the time is right… MAIN EVENT: Taz and Chris Jericho defeat Christopher Daniels and Randy Orton with The Corporation via double submission; Taz made Daniels tap with the Tazmission while Jericho simultaneously made Orton tap with the Walls of Jericho. This match was out of control from the get go as all four men brawled in the ring. It took several minutes for senior official Anthony Ref to restore order. Midway in the match, Jericho took out the ENTIRE Corporation with a diving plancha to the outside! AFTERMATH: Taz and Daniels, Jericho and Orton continued to brawl with one another to end the show… |

(episode 25 review)
Well, I have to say, this was my first viewing of an ICW show, so, obviously I'm confused about what EXACTLY is going on, but I did enjoy it. I'm going to go back and see the previous shows so I can find out the story and history of ICW, but, again, I enjoyed this.
I can feel the tension brewing between Orton and Jericho and I really do want to see if, when and how Taz will retaliate to The Corporation's assualt and their message to - not just him - but the entire ICW roster and the company itself.
My only real grip with this show is the very brief summary of matches. I mean, personally, I wouldn't describe the entire match but it felt like a bit too little - not too far away from being Wrestler x beats Wrestler y - don't take that as a blatant mock of your show or anything, your show was GREAT but the match summary was a bit too small for me.
8/10
