Welcome to the RBW Royal Rumble 9 "
RBW Royal Rumble 9Kevin Jones: ladies and gentlemen, RBW proudly welcomes you to it's 9th Royal Rumble event! We have some big-time matches on the undercard and of course the Royal Rumble match itself
Bucky Lasek: And I can't wait for the Rumble, it's always the most unpredictable and action packed match of them all, and there are so many hungry wrestlers out there wanting to headline WrestleMania 9
Kevin Jones: You hit the nail right on the head there, Bucky, but before we go any further I'd like to point out the situation in the ring right now.
In the middle of the RBW ring is a wheelchair bound Vince McMahon, who until today has been in the hospital recovering an injured neck after the Undertaker tombstoned him last year. Vince is accompanied by his son Shane, General manager Lance Storm, Paul Heyman and Jim Ross.
With a microphone in hand, Shane McMahon says "I still can't believe the Undertaker destroyed my dad, who's finally healed up plucked up enough courage to come back. Undertaker, now the boss is back in action, you're gonna get what's coming to you! So get your dead-backside down to this ring, RIGHT NOW!"
On the entrance stage enters not the Undertaker, but one of henchman, one half of the team known as
the Undertaker's Morticians and one half of the tag team champions; Maven. Maven comes down the ramp, which is exactly level to the ring apron, almost like a bridge, towards the ring as he has a microphone in hand saying "
I don't believe you lot! Undertaker doesn't do what you tell him... I do! Vince, you deserved to be dropped on your neck! And Shane, you're a spoilt brat and Paul Heyman is an ugly rat! If any of you want to see the Undertaker, then it's over my dead body!"
Maven goes to enter the ring but an angry Heyman runs over so Maven knocks him down with a right hook. Lance then comes running but Maven knocks him down too! Maven then gets into the ring but is greeted by a furious Shane and they begin to brawl but Maven ends it when he smacks Shane with a microphone, then stomps a mudhole into him in the corner.
Vince McMahon yells at Maven, so Maven grabs Vince by the jacket and pulls him out of his chair and gives him a Maven drop!!
'
That's what the Undertaker thinks of you, so don't show your face here again!'
Maven then picks up the wheelchair and slams it on the lifeless body of Vince!!! Maven leaves the ring with a smirk on his face and is greeted by Undertaker on the entrance stage. Undertaker gives Maven he nod of approval and they both leave to the back.
Bucky Lasek: Oh God! He's killed him!
Kevin Jones: What the hell is wrong with Undertaker and his Morticians? They're all insane assaulting the RBW owner like this!
Bucky Lasek: And he threatened Vince to never show his face in RBW again! These guys are overthrowing RBW and taking this company by force!
Kevin Jones: This Royal Rumble event has been destoryed and we havnt evens started the show yet!!
RBW staff carry out the damaged bodies, and Vince McMahon is carried out on a stretcher, as a devastated Stephanie comes down to see her father carried off.
Bucky Lasek: Well folks, despite these dark times we must move on with the Show, it's what Vince would have wanted
Kevin Jones: You're speaking like he's dead or something
Bucky Lasek: Well I hate to say it, but after what's just happened I wouldn't be suprised if he was
Kevin Jones: Don't say such horrible things! Let's hope and pray he'll recover from this travesty
Bucky Lasek: I do hope so, and I hope someone sorts out Undertaker and his band of thugs
Kevin Jones: amen! But it's time to crack onto the first match of the show, and here comes the European Champion Kenwood!
Bucky Lasek: The seasoned veteran Kenwood won his first title at our last PPV, No Quarter Given, and his first title defense will be against a good friend of his, Amazing Alan
Kevin Jones: It's going to be great to see these guys compete, they have so much respect for each other so you know it's going to be good solid wrestling
European TitleKenwood (champion) .vs. Amazing AlanBoth wrestlers start off with a handshake, before Alan unloads a trio of clotheslines knocking Kenwood about. Alan gets him into a headlock, but Kenwood sends him off the ropes, leapfrogs Alan then and catches him with a Lou thez press, with some punches to follow up. Alan rolls Kenwood off, and shouts "Why did you punch me? This is wrestling!" to which Kenwood shrugs then punches Alan down to the deck. Kenwood starts hitting some kicks and elbow drops, and even chokes Alan against the middle rope, showing a dominant side to him. Alan finds himself in a corner, and kenwood charges but misses a running splash and hits the buckle. Alan follows up by clotheslining Kenwood, then Alan charges but Kenwood flapjacks him neck-first onto the top rope. kenwood covers Alan but only gets a 2 count. Kenwood sets Alan up on the top rope, going for a suplerplex. Alan fights back and they battle on top, until Alan gets the upperhand and scoops Kenwood up on his shoulders. Alan then hits Kenwood with a powerslam off the top rope onto the canvas!
Both men are down and out as the referee begins to count them down. The referee counts to 8, until Alan manages to crawl over and pin Kenwood, but it only gets a 2 count. Alan gets to his feet and sets Kenwood up for another slam, but kenwood slips off and hits his '
delicious Jaw sound' superkick... but Alan catches the
D-J-S Kick, and hits a backdrop suplex on Kenwood!
A fired up Alan picks Kenwood up for a boder-toss powerbomb, and delivers it in such a brutal fashion that Kenwood's head gets whiplashed as it hits the bottom turnbuckle pad! Alan covers him for the pin but Kenwood gets his foot on a rope, for a roepbreak. Alan picks him up once again, but Kenwood hits a
Delicous Jaw Sound out of nowhere! Alan is knocked out and Kenwood crumbles after hitting his finishing kick, as both men are down for the count. The referee counts to a 6, but Kenwood crawls over for the pin, but Alan kicks out just before a 3 count. Kenwood starts to head to the top rope, and signals for an elbow drop, but Randy Wartooth (the former European Champion, that Kenwood defeated at No Quarter Given) comes down ringside snarling. Kenwood acknowledges him, but delivers the diving elbow drop to Alan anyway. Randy distracts the referee while Kenwood pins Alan, to what should have gotten the win, but Randy Wartooth has made sure that wasn't the case!
A frustrated Kenwood hits a planca over the ropes and crashes down on Wartooth ringside, also hitting the referee in the process! Kenwood then slams Randy's head on the ring apron, and grabs a steel chair, as Wartooth rolls into the ring. Kenwood slides the chair into the ring in pursuit, but Randy boots Kenwood in the face as soon as he's in the ring. Randy then hits his finisher, the
Game Over (suplex into a cutter) onto Kenwood, headfirst onto the steel chair! Randy rolls out the ring with the chair, and shakes the referee back to life. Alan begins to stir, and unbeknownst to all of the chaos, picks Kenwood up hitting a solid running powerslam, followed by a pin that gets the 3 count!
Kevin Jones: Despite controversay, Amazing Alan is the new European champion!
Bucky Lasek: I don't even know if Alan noticed Randy at all, he was in too much pain from that elbow drop to realize what had happened!
Kevin Jones: Even so, you can't blame Alan, he just wanted to win the european title and he did!
Bucky Lasek: But if it wasn't for Randy Wartooth, I'm 100% certain that Kenwood would have won with that elbow drop
Kevin Jones: Well I'm sure we've not seen the last between these three, as far as the European title is concerened
After Alan has left the ring with the European title, Randy Wartooth storms back into the ring and raises the steel chair above Kenwood, but Alan rushes back in and spears Randy, before he can splatter Kenwoods skull. Alan helps a lifeless Kenwood to his feet and helps carry him out of the ring, showing alot of respect to the former European champion.
Bucky Lasek: Great sportsmanship shown there by the new European champ, Alan.
Kevin Jones: I wonder how Kenwood would react to what's happened when he comes round, though. He might have some problems with how Alan won the title
Bucky Lasek: Well he may have some resentment, but I honestly think Alan had no clue about the interference, but I suppose only time will tell
Kevin Jones: and speaking of time, it's not time for our next match, a huge encounter for the World Heavyweight Championship
Bucky Lasek: Oh boy, Chip Hazard defends his world title against the Big Show, and these massive bruisers have a huge score to settle!
Kevin Jones: Well I'm not suprised, Chip Hazard defeated Big Show's team-mate, Stone Cold Steve Austin, in that nasty barbwire brawl, and doctors say Austin will be out of action for possibly a year!
Bucky Lasek: Good greif! Big Show has alot of payback on his mind, I'm sure. Not to mention, this is 9 years in making, Big show beat Chip in the 2001 torunament so we all know he's capable to defeating the current World Champ.
Kevin Jones: And here comes Chip Hazard right now, the biggest man on the block, and a weathered veteran that keeps on going
Bucky Lasek: It's the clash of the titans, battle of the hard hitters, and the collision of RBW's greatest juggernauts! Here we go!
World Heavyweight TitleBig Show .vs. Chip HazardChip Hazard sits down in the corner, relaxing like he has no care in the world, as Big Show makes his way down to the ring. Charlie Haas comes ringside to encoruage Big Show, and reminds him to avenge Austis' barbwire massacre loss, then Charlie heads to the back.
The match begins as Big Show moves in for the kill but Chip lunges out of the corner and takes him down by the legs. Chip unloads elbow shots to Big Shows back and then squashes him with a jumping sentom. Chip stomps away at Big Show in the corner, but a grounded Big Show fights back with some body shots. An engraged Chip picks up his nearby World title and goes to swing it at Show, but the ref manages takes it off him.
Chip argues to the ref, then turns into a big show clothesline, and then another. Chip rolls out of the ring and onto the rampway, and Show follows, but Chip cross bodies Big show, and himself, back in ring! This gets a 2 count, so Chip clinches Show and unloads some knee strikes to soften him up for a tiger suplex, but Big show breaks the full nelson hold. Show boots Chip in the head, then hits him with a suplex. Chip leaves ring clutching his back, so Big Show follows him but Chip rams him into the ring apron, then rolls Show back into the ring and pins him to 2 count! Chip goes up top but he misses a top rope sentom, and both men are down for the count.
They manage to get up by the count of 6, and Big Show throws a knockout punch but Chip ducks it and counters into a tiger suplex but Big Show breaks the hold and hits a knockout punch on Chip! Show pins Chip to a 3 count, and is wins the bout.
Kevin Jones: My goodness what a shot to the head!
Bucky Lasek: Big Show is the new World Heavyweight Champion!
Kevin Jones: Big Show has avenged Austin's loss and won the World Title in doing so!
Bucky Lasek: What a great moment in RBW history, Big Show as the new World Champion!
Backstage, Batista is jogging on the spot getting pumped up for his match, when John Morrison summersaults over his head and lands beside him. "Hey Bearman, looks like you and me are teaming up tonight in the big 6-man battle. I know we've got history, but tonight we need to stay focussed and work as a unit to get payback on 'Taker! Afterall, if it wasn't for him, one of us, and I know who, would still be the RBW Champion" suggests Morrison. Batista stares at Morrison, and utters the words "Undertaker's going to get what's coming to him, but I'll be the one that beats him tonight, and that RBW title will be mine!" to which Morrison responds with, "I guess we'll just have to see what happens in that ring, won't we? " and parkours off into the distance, leaving Batista to think about the match
Kevin Jones: Well it's going to be interesting to see how Batista and Morrison co-exist in that big 6-man tag match later tonight.
Bucky Lasek: They both want revenge on Undertaker ever since he took that RBW title away from their fued, and I hope he gets beaten, that Deadman is nothing but nasty work
Kevin Jones: Well that's later down the line, but right now it's
time for the Hardcore title defense!
Bucky Lasek: Here comes the Hardcore Champion, Rhyno, right now and what a crazy and derranged look he has in his eyes!
Kevin Jones: Well since his title defense on the last PPV, Rhyno has shown signs of pyschotic behaviour! When there's no rules, then that's when he's at his most deadliest, let alone the power of this beast
Bucky Lasek: Well here comes his opponent, Kurt Angle, a pure grappler going against this violent war-machine, so this match will be very interesting with such a clash of styles
HardCore TitleRhyno .vs. Kurt Angle They lock up center of the ring, and Rhyno over powers Kurt to the floor. Kurt gets up with a concerned look in his eyes, and goes back for another lock up. Kurt quickly slips into a wasitlock takedown and throws Rhyno to the mat, spins around his back and swats his head with many slaps, demonstrating his technical dominance. Kurt backs off with a grin on his face, as Rhyno gets up engraged. They go for a third lock up but Rhyno interceps with a kick, then throws Kurt to a turn buckle, and Kurt rebounds into a powerslam. Rhyno hits the ropes and hits a splash which gets a 2 count. Rhyno pulls Kurt up and hits a sambo suplex which gets another 2 count. Rhyno looking annoyed storms out the ring and grabs a chair from ringside, and throws it into the ring. As Rhyno re-enters the ring, Angle picks up the chair but rhyno boots it into his face! Rhyno looks at him then looks at the top rope, before dragging Angle and placing him on the top rope. Rhyno climbs up besides him and sets up for a Rhyno driver, but Angle counters into an angle slam off the top rope!
All of a sudden Tommy Dreamer and Mean Monkey from SAW Wrestling storm into the ring and stomp all over Angle and Rhyno. They then look ringside as the SAW champion, Paul Burchill, comes down with the SAWfed title around his waist, and slides into the ring. Dreamer and Monkey pick up Angle and feed him to Burhchill who lifts him up for a razor-edge. Burchill turns to the entrance ramp and launches Kurt over the top rope and hard onto the rampway! Burchill then orders Dreamer to get a table, which he does, while Rhyno starts to stagger up and Burchill sets him for a razor-edge. Dreamer sets up the table diagonally in the turnbuckle, and Burchill launches him through it shattering the table and Rhyno's back. Mean Monkey drags Rhyno into the center of the ring, as Burchill climbs to the top rope. Burchill gives a dirty look to all whose watching, then hits a moonsault onto Rhyno, and as it's hardcore rules Burhcuill pins Rhyno to win the title!
Bucky Lasek: oh my good god, SAW-fed has invaded RBW and
the current SAW champion is now the RBW Hardcore Champion!
Kevin Jones: I don't know what to think, one on hand it's great to have these extreme icons in RBW, but goodness me, they just demolished RBW talent with such spite and venom!
Bucky Lasek: Burchill was the most extreme champion SAW ever had, and with a huge invasion to RBW alongide Tommy Dreamer and Mean Monkey, the hardcore division is in danger!
Mean Monkey grabs a microphone and re-enters the ring giving it to Burchill, who says 'SAW-fed was one of the biggest feds going, it was an underground cult phenomena and a revolutionary force! That was until RBW bought us out... They only hired a few of our roster, leaving the majority of SAW's roster jobless and in the gutter and even the select few who got an RBW contract havn't even been used! That is, until now, because we're rebelling in the Hardcore divison! We're rising up and taking RBW by storm, and as a result of this I am now a double extreme champion, and we will continue to rise up and take over this place one step at a time.
Also, Tommy Dreamer and Mean Monkey will be in the Royal Rumble tonight, and when of you guys win a shot at 'mania, give me first dibs on the RBW title, will ya?" Burchill proclaims.
Kevin Jones: What a huge shocker we've just witnessed. The former stars of SAW wrestling have made their prescence felt here tonight, and it looks like they're here to make an impact
Bucky Lasek: Their rebelling against RBW, and with the boss Vince Mcmahon down and out, it looks like they chose the perfect time to rebell at the company
Kevin Jones: SAW was a sinking ship, these guys should be greatful to have RBW contracts, but instead of working their way up the card they had to come in with an attitude
Bucky Lasek: I'm not defending them but sometimes you've got to take action by yourself if you want to make it big. But I agree, they do have an attiude and they seem very bitter about RBW buying out SAW. It's going to be
very interesting to see what they get upto especially with Dreamer and Monkey in the rumble tonight
Kevin Jones: Well, that is tonight, but up next is our semi-main event, it's the huge 6-man tag team battle, and so many fueds will be covered in this one match right now
The sneaky and cunning King Richards enters the arena leading his son, Stevie Richards, the InterContinental champion down to the ring.
Bucky Lasek: Folks, here is a man who has sold his soul just to retain his I-C title. At our last PPV, No Quarter Given, Stevie Richards defended his title against Mike Awesome
Kevin Jones: and Mike Awesome could've and would've won that I-C title, but shenanigans galore, not only from that interfering King Richards, but a sick chairshot to Mike's head from the champ, cost Mike from winning the title via Disqualificaiton
Bucky Lasek: Once a true warrior and a fighting champion, Stevie Richards is now a desperate champion who will do anything to keep his title, and with his Father around, he's doing a good job of it
Kevin Jones: But Richards and Awesome are set to clash once again for the InterContinental championship at RBW's 9th WrestleMania, which is are next PPV
Stevie is in the ring, as his Father is ringisde, as his tag team partners for this match come down; Undertaker and Maven, with George Steele following behind them.
Kevin Jones: Undertaker, the RBW Champion, won the title over very contraversial means, and I don;t think that Batista and Morrison will be happy until they've taken out the dead man
Bucky Lasek: Well, Undertaker has reliable backup with the I-C champion and one of his henchmen, Maven, who is infact one half of the tag team champions
Kevin Jones: George Steel being the other half of the tag champs, who has joined the ringside area next to King Richards.
Bucky Lasek: That's a very concerning factor, if the Team of Undertaker, Maven & Stevie Richards,
who are all champions, isn't bad enough, then just imagine what impact King Richards and George Steele may play into this match. The numbers are against their opponents, who are making their entrances now...
Mike Awesome explodes onto the rampway, all fired up and pointing towards Stevie, who is hiding behind Maven and Undertaker. All of a sudden, Shane O'mac jumps into the ring and brawls with Undertaker! Undertaker outbrawls the wonderboy and slams him out the ring!
Still on the rampway, Mike Awesome has just witnessed Undertaker destroy shane, just before the former RBW champion, John Morrison to join him. They shake hands and await for the undefeatable Batista to arrive. Batista bursts onto the scene, and gives a nod towards Awesome and Morrison, and they all look towards the ring, ready to go to war
Kevin Jones: Morrison teaming with Batista will be very fascinating to witness. These two have been in an intesne rivalry over the RBW title for months! It all started at Backlash when Morrison escaped the cage and won the RBW from Batista
Bucky Lasek: Up until that point Batista had been the undefeated RBW Champion since the 2004 Royal Rumble, and since Morrison climbed over the cage, Batista claims that he still hasn't been beaten and that running away didn't count
Kevin Jones: Which of course lead to a rematch inside Hell in the Cell, but Undertaker gatecrashed the match and swiped the RBW title for himself, and then he won it
after Batista and Morrison has battered each other, in a triple threat match at our last PPV, No Quarter Given!
Bucky Lasek: Morrison and Batista have huge, huge, huge grudges to be settled between Undertaker and even themselves, so this is going to be one crazy match with all these personal vendettas
6-Man Tag Team Grudge MatchUndertaker, Maven and Stevie Richards .vs. Batista, John Morrison and Mike AwesomeMorrison slides into the ring, starting off the match against Undertaker. They lock up, and Undertaker overpowers Morrison down to the mat. The deadman stands tall and intimidating as John regains his composure as they set to lock up again. This time Morrison ducks the lockup and slips into waistlock, but Undertaker breaks the grip and counters into a hammerlock. Morrison struggles to escape so Undertaker goes to club Morrison but he ducks the clubshot and blasts Underaker with a jumping calf kick to the face! Morrison hits the ropes and a flying forearm shot takes the RBW champion down. Undertaker pulls himself up in the corner but soon gets sandwhiched between the turnbuckle and a running dropkick from Morrison.
Stevie starts rantting and raving from the apron, so Morrison knocks him off, and wit Stevie acting as a sacrfice to distract Morrison's attention, Undertaker capitalizes with a big boot to Morrison. 'Taker starts to ground and pounds morrison and this gets a pinfall close to 2. Batista shouts at undertaker, but 'Taker just stares at bear. With the Deadman's back turned , Morrison comes running but Taker hiptosses him, but Morrison lands on his feet, then Batista tags himself in. Morrison looks a bit puzzled, but shrugs his shoulders and lets Batista have a shot. As Batista gets in the ring, Undertaker flees in and tags in Maven. Batista roars for Undertaker to fight like a man, but Maven shuts him up as he lays the smackdown on the Bear. Maven follows up by hitting the ropes and comes charging into a spine buster!
Batista pins Maven but Stevie breaks it up. Stevie grabs Batista but Batista pushes Stevie into the ropes and as he rebounds, Batista back body drops stevie over the top rope and onto the rampway!
King Richards rushes over to check on his lifeless son, and with all the attention on Stevie, Undertaker reaches to the wounded Maven and slyly tags himself in, without anyone noticing. Batista turns back to Maven and picks him up for a brain buster but Undertaker swoops into the ring and boots the back of Batista's head! Undertaker follows up with a leg drop on the bear, but only gets a 2 count! Undertaker continues his assault by beating the bear in the corner with an array of punches. He frontfacelocks Batista and goes over to Maven who makes the tag. Undertaker then lifts Batista vertically in the air for a suplex,
as Maven gets to the top of the turnbuckle, then jumps off towards a vertically upside down Batista and nails a crossbody block just as Undertaker nails a suplex! Maven goes to pin the Bear but Morrison suddenly flies in and decks Maven with a flying forearm shot. Then Undertaker comes in to boot Morrison, but he ducks the boot and crossbodies Undertaker and himself over the to rope and down to the ringside area also crashing into George Steele!
Maven and Batista are both down and groggy, and Batista starts to crawl to tag in mike Awesome, but Maven grabs the bears ankle to stop him from reaching the tag. Batista rolls onto his back and thrusts both legs into Maven, hurling him into the opposite corner. Batista crawls and tags in Mike Awesome, who climbs the turnbuckle. Maven staggers out of the corner and gets taken down by Mike's flying blockbuster off the top rope! Mike is all fired up as all the people in attendance come alive, then Mike hits an Awesome bomb onto Maven! He climbs the top rope and a diving big splash onto Maven wins the match for Mike Awesome and his team! He takes a moment to let the victory sink in as he celebrates the win.
Bucky Lasek: A big win for Mike Awesome after such a heated battle between these two teams.
Kevin Jones: You saw the tension between Batista and Morrison, when The Bear tagged himself in.
Bucky Lasek: and what's more, you saw the fear in the Undertaker who wanted nothing to do with Batista
Kevin Jones: I think it's safe to say this triangle rivalry is far from over
As Mike Awesome is about to leave the ring King Richards slides in and sneaks up behind him with the IC belt in hand. He raises it for a big swing but Mike senses the danger and turns around to superkick the King! Stevie Richards runs in and brawls with Awesome, but it ends up with Mike getting Stevie up for a powerbomb, but from ringside Undertaker pulls out Mike's leg as Mike collapses down to one knee and Stevie drops to safety. Undertaker pulls Mike out of the ring and starts to brawl with Mike, but Mike fights back and they end up brawling to the rampway. Morrison joins the brawl, then so does Maven and Steive, and finally Batista gets into the fight and eventually they all brawl their way past the entrance and to the back.
Bucky Lasek: Goodness me what an aftermatch brawl!
Kevin Jones: Everyone is going mental, they all want a peice of each other and with WrestleMania 9 coming up as our next PPV, I think we're going to witness the grand finale to all these fueds.
Bucky Lasek: I hope so, I want to see the scores finally settled between these rivalries, it's about time we had a decisive winner
Kevin Jones: Well, I'm sure we will see that, and speaking of
winners and
WrestleMania 9, the 9th Royal Rumble is upon us, where the
winner will get a main event championship title match at
WrestleMania 9!
Bucky Lasek: WrestleMania main event aside, this Royal Rumble match is possibly the biggest and most important match in RBW! Legends have been born because of the Rumble, and every single time it's the most entertaining and unpredictable match I get to witness
Kevin Jones: 30 men will enter with one dream in mind, and bodies will fly over the rop rope until there is one man remaining and their dream will come true; to headline the biggest stage of them all, RBW WrestleMania 9!
Bucky Lasek: And that time is now
Kevin Jones: After the huge tagmatch we just saw, everyone has left apart from George Steele, who is now entering the ring
Bucky Lasek: Maybe he's the #1 entrant for the Rumble?
Paul Heyman grabs the microphone and announces that "
It is now time for the Royal Rumble match! Two men will start the match, and then every minute another entrant will enter the ring until all 30 entrants have entered the match. The only way to win is to throw your opponent over the top rope and both of their feet must hit the floor for them to be eliminated. The last entrant remaining will be declared the winner, so without further adue, let's get ready to Rumble!"
