Tony Chimel: And from Nashville, Tennessee, Lance Cade!
Lance Cade appears at the top of the ramp with a cocky grin on his face. As Cade walks to the ring he glares at any fan trying to interact with him.
The Ring Bell rings as Shelley offers a handshake, Cade simply lets out a little laugh at Shelley’s hand before running at Shelley, clotheslining him to the mat. The physically stronger Cade then dropped an elbow to the downed-Shelley. Cade then waited a couple of seconds before kicking Alex Shelley in the kidney. Cade lifted up Shelley before taking him back to the mat with a powerful superplex, Lance pinned 1…2… kick out from Alex Shelley! Cade hastily got back up after the pin and brought Shelley to a vertical base. Cade then threw Shelley against the ropes and as Shelley rebounded Cade hit a devastating big boot onto one half of the Motor City Machine Guns. Cade once again pinned 1…2… kick out from Shelley. Cade looked slightly annoyed at this point, as he had hit 2 powerful manoeuvres and had still not been able to finish off the high-flying superstar, Cade hastily lifted Shelley up and got him into a spinebuster position before Shelley managed to reverse the move into a DDT, grounding Lance Cade.]
Meltzer: Woah, Mike, what a reversal from Shelley. Will this be the turning point?
Johnson: I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, Dave
Shelley found a new lease of life as got to his feet before running to the corner, climbed up the turnbuckle and flying off, doing a 360 degree flip in mid-air and landing on Cade, the fans went ballistic. Shelley pinned Cade 1…2… Cade threw Shelley off him! What strength shown by Lance Cade there. Shelley stayed positive as he turned around only to face a standing up, grinning Lance Cade. Shelley took a crazed kick at Cade but his leg was caught, however Cade wasn’t expecting what came next. Shelley swung his other leg, smashing the side of Lance Cade’s head. Cade looked motionless, the fans chanted for Shelley to pin Cade but Shelley had other ideas, Alex Shelley climbed to the top rope, steadied himself then flew from the top turnbuckle, landing on Lance Cade with a bone-crunching corkscrew. Shelley pinned Cade 1…2…3

Blood Tournament First Semi-Final - Robbie Brookside vs Rob Conway[/u]
Tony Chimel: Introducing first, from The Province of Quebec, Rob Conway!
Fans boo, remembering him from his WWE days, Conway glares at some fans while pointing at others, he enters the ring with an arrogant grin on his face.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent in this first round match, from here in Liverpool, England, Robbie Brookside!
Brookside high-fives his fans as he races to the ring, he then slides under the ropes and into it, as he gets under the rope Conway begins stomping on him, the bell rings to signal the start of the match.
After the bell rang Conway didn’t let off Brookside but continued in his attack by kicking the Liverpool-born wrestler repeatedly. Eventually Conway lifted Brookside to a vertical base, threw Brookside into the corner then ran at him, unfortunately for Conway he is not the best 100m sprinter, and Brookside seized this early opportunity buy sensationally elevating himself to the top rope and standing upright, Conway hit the turnbuckle and Brookside wrapped his legs around the neck of Conway before flying from the corner, taking Conway to the mat. Brookside then picked up a weapon in the form of a steel chair and with the fans cheering prepared to smash Conway with it as soon as he got up, as Conway did get up Brookside swung his chair towards the skull of Conway but unfortunately for Robbie Brookside Rob Conway ducked, the momentum generated by Brookside made him fall to the mat and his head hit the chair. The referee checked for blood but there was none in site, hence the match continued. Conway lifted Brookside to his feet and lifted him into a spinebuster position; he then ran and used his raw strength to make Brookside hit the corner turnbuckle, taking Brookside to the floor. Conway quickly slid out of the ring and picked up a ladder which was set up outside of the ring, he then threw it into the ring and rolled in before setting it up. All this time Brookside was regaining some knowledge of his surroundings, Conway unbelievably, and to the shock of the fans began climbing the ladder – the fact that the heavy superstar was climbing the leader took all the fans by surprise and they had reason to be surprised, Conway was beginning to shake as he climbed, taking more than double the time it would take for a normal superstar to climb a ladder. Conway feared looking down and by this point Brookside was practically back to full health, he go to a vertical base and looked up at the worrying Conway before Brookside ran at the ladder, kicked it, noticed that wasn’t working then pushed it over, Conway flew through the air with a hilarious facial expression on, Brookside gave the fans a grin as he lifted up a hammer which was positioned inside the ring. He then walked towards the grounded Conway and lifted it into the air, Brookside showed his vicious streak by smashing it onto the nose of the near-out-cold Conway who’s nose collapsed. The referee quickly called that he was bleeding thus giving Brookside a place in next week’s UCW Blood Championship Title Match.
Winner: Robbie Brookside
After the ring empties the camera cuts backstage, were Rene Dupree is in Eric Bischoff’s office
Rene: Listen Eric, how can’t you have put me in tonight’s Championship Scramble match?
Eric: I feel 6 other’s deserved it more, Renee you’re forgetting you’re in a company with the likes of A.J Styles, Paul London, and Samoa Joe
Rene: And 2 of those are unproven in a big company, unlike me who was the best in WWE for many years
Eric: Rene, this company is not made to be like WWE, but I’ll give you a chance to prove what you can for. Get ready because after the break you will be in action.
Rene looks slightly pleased to get the chance to prove himself to Bischoff although it won’t alter his position in tonight’s main event.

Kenny Dykstra’s music hits.
Tony Chimel: From Worcester, Massachusetts, Kenny Dykstra!
The fans were surprised to see Dykstra smiling and interacting with fans, going against his heel behaviour in WWE.
Once in the ring the bell rang to signal the start of the match, Dykstra and Dupree locked up, with neither able to get the strength advantage Dupree kicked Dykstra in the calf before planting a solid DDT, taking Dykstra to the ground. Dupree didn’t hold off there as he went to the mat and locked in a sleeper-hold, Dykstra tried to battle out of it with the fans on his side but once it looked like he had a chance Dupree released, took 2 steps back then ran at Dykstra and kicked him in the side of the head. Dupree hastily lifted Dykstra up, although Dykstra was struggling to stay conscious, Dupree threw Dykstra against the ropes and as Dykstra rebounded Dupree lifted him into a spinebuster position before ramming Kenny into the corner, Dykstra’s back smashed against the turnbuckle. He then fell back to the mat and Dupree pinned 1…2… Kick out from Dykstra!
Dave Meltzer: Kick out then from Dykstra!
Mike Johnson: He didn’t really think that’d be the end did he?
Dave Meltzer: Well it sure looked like it was too me.
Back in the ring Dupree had a sharpshooter locked in on Dykstra, Dykstra squealed in pain as he struggled to break out of the manouvre, eventually Dykstra did manage to reach the bottom rope and force Dupree to let go. After using the referee’s count to his advantage Dupree did let go. Rene then gave the fans a French dance, taunting the audience, this was met by boo’s from the British crowd. Dupree’s over-confidence cost him here, because as he lifted Kenny Dykstra to too a vertical base Dykstra came back to life so to speak, he smashed a fist into the jay of Dupree then kicked his shin, forcing Dupree onto one leg, Dykstra then grabbed the head of Dupree and held it as he jumped into the air, still holding his head as he came down Dykstra’s knee’s smashed into the nose of Dupree who looked out cold as Dykstra pinned him 1…2…3

El Generico races to the ring grinning before sliding in.
The bell rings to signal the match, El Generico runs at Animal from the start and stops write in front of him before beginning to offload a couple of punches, unfortunately they didn’t look to be doing anything to the physically dominant Animal who pushed Generico to the ground. Animal waited for Generico to get up – filling the time with a taunt before he got up, once El Generico was on his feet Animal ran at him, taking him to the mat with ease before beginning to try and open up a cut on the head of El Generico, after 3 shots Generico managed to grab Animal’s wrist and began punching animal with shots of his own, El Generico then got to a vertical base and hit a DDT onto Animal, taking him to the mat. Generico then ran to the corner and climbed to the top rope before hitting a devastating 360 degree splash onto Animal. El Generico left the ring and picked up a sledge hammer, he then rolled into the ring, hammer in-hand and waited on Animal getting up, eventually Animal got to his feet but only for a couple of seconds as El Generico ran at him and smashed into his jaw with the hammer, Animal somehow didn’t bleed but did fall to the mat, Generico stared at him hoping to see signs of a cut but it wasn’t to be, so Generico lifted Animal to a vertical base and threw him into the corner with all the strength he could muster. Generico then used his lack of weight to his advantage by running just infront of Animal, doing a handstand and kicking Animal’s head with both feet. Animal well straight forward as Generico went to the top rope, after a few seconds of El Generico waiting Animal got to his feet, Generico turned to face the fans before diving off backwards, towards Animal. Unfortunately Animal caught Generico mid-air and lifted him into a powerbomb position. Animal then looked like he was going to do a Batista Bomb but as Generico was going down Animal lifted up his knee, his knee hit the back of Generico’s head with force, Generico fell to the mat and the referee inspected, there was large gash on the back of El Generico’s head with blood pouring from it, so the referee called for the bell.
Winner: Animal
Dave Meltzer: What a match!
Mike Johnson: I know, I thought Generico had it but Animal’s power overcame him.
