2 Cold Scorpio (c) vs. Crush
{This match was made after last week's Battle Royal to crown the first champion, and Scorpio could outlast everyone last, eliminating Crush. This didn't sit well with the Giant Hawaii native, who issued a challenge that was instantly accepted. Scorpio is looking to make what he hopes will be the first of many defenses of the title. Crush didn't come to play, though, as he came out in the Kona Crush gear. Scorpio and Crush work a solid match. Crush can use his power to have most of the control in the early going, but Scorpio can flash that innovative offense and can take Kona Crush off his feet with a Superkick that finds its place across the jaw of Crush. Scorpio is pointing to the top rope and looking for a moonsault, but at the very last second, Crush can move out of the way, and Scorpio eats nothing but the mat. Crush is outside the ring and drags the champion out with him. The referee has started the count, but Crush doesn't care and is looking to cause pain as he smashes Scorpio's shoulder first into the steps! Crush plants Scorpio with a body slam on the arena floor with a loud THUD echoing throughout the arena. Crush picks up Scorpio as the referee reaches eight and rolls him into the ring. Passion follows by making the cover 1......2.... kick out by Scorpio! Crush is complaining about the call, saying it should have been 3! Passion picks up Scorpio and plants him with a POWERBOMB in the middle of the ring. Crush makes another cover 1......2....shoulder up by Scorpio! Crush is getting upset as the champion Scorpio is showing the heart of a champion here! Crush looks around and signals for the Cranium Crunch, but Scorpio cancan fight out and kicks Crush away before whipping him across the ropes. Crush comes off the ropes as Scorpio with a leapfrog and another leapfrog. Crush turns around and DROPKICK ACROSS THE JAW! Scorpio picks up Crush and Side Kick across the jaw, but Crush doesn't fall! Scorpio with a body slam! Scorpio makes a signal to the top rope! TUMBLEWEED! 1.....2...3!!!
Your Winner and STILL NWA Television Champion
2 Cold Scorpio
{We cut to the back where Rocky Mavia is standing by with Lee Marshall}
Lee: Rocky, last week you had an excellent performance in the Battle Royal, but in the end, it wasn't meant to be when Meng set his sights on you. I have to ask Rocky, are you worried?
Rocky: Well, I would be kidding myself if I said that Meng isn't one of the scariest men to step foot inside of that ring, but I was raised that a man has to do what a man has to do. Meng, you might be intimidating to many people, but I am not one of them. I will fight with everything I have and give my all. You will know my name, Meng, and you will see that I can fight just as well as anyone.
{As Lee and Rocky speak for a couple more moments, that is when up to the scene walks this man}
{As this man approaches. Rocky raises his fists and looks ready to fight, but this man has NO DESIRE to fight Rocky.}
Don Callis: I assure you, Rocky, I come here in peace. See, I am here to give you a little proposition. You have a problem, a huge problem, and if you wish to admit it or not. It's a dangerous problem that you have. Now, I know what that man Meng is capable of. You are talking about a man I saw beat up a man because the man was breathing too loud. Rocky, I don't want that for you.
Rocky: So what is that you want then?
Don Callis: I am here, Rocky, because I am the only person on the planet to get a message through to Meng. Rocky, when I look at you, I see a future NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Suppose I might be a little selfish. I see myself in you, Rocky.
Rocky: Oh, is that so?
Don Callis: It is; we aren't that much different, Rocky. I know your family well and, more importantly, your father well, and your family would want nothing more than someone like me watching your back. I am a perfect friend to have in this business. So what do you say, Rocky? Let Don Callis watch out for you.
Rocky: Don, I appreciate the offer, but I came here alone and will show the world I have what it takes to be alone.
Don Callis: Rocky, think it over, you owe it to your.....
Rocky: Don, I told you nicely. Thanks, but no thanks, I am fine on my own!
Don Callis: Listen, you little puke! I gave you the offer of a lifetime, and you want to tell me NO! Just who in the hell do you think you are? NOBODY TELLS ME NO! You are going to pay Rocky! I promise you!
Rocky: I don't take too kindly to threats. Don, how about you walk away before I do something
*SLAP*
{DON CALLIS JUST SLAPPED ROCKY! Lee quickly gets out of the way as Rocky stares at Don, and he is PISSED! Don begins pleading and backing away from Rocky, but that is when, from behind, it's MENG!}
Rocky is blasted from behind with a stiff clothesline and goes to the ground. Meng is stomping away as Callis is screaming at Rocky! Meng is like a man possessed now as he picks up Rocky and gives him a STIFF SHOT TO THE THROAT! Rocky falls over, holding his throat and gasping for air! Callis is screaming for Meng to finish the job! Rocky returns to his feet, but it's right into THE TONGON DEATHGRIP! Meng is shaking his head as The Rock is falling unconscious! Callis is grinning, and Meng is sending a message! Rocky is cold on the floor as Callis tells Meng to let go! MENG THOUGH REFUSES TO BREAK THE HOLD! Callis is now using all his might before Meng finally lets go of the hold! Rocky is in a bad way as Callis and Meng walk away!}
Tag Team Match
Miracle Violence Connection with Ted Dibiase vs. The Bellhops
{We see the debut in the NWA of Gordy and Williams, but they are not alone, as they have Ted Dibiase behind them. Dibiase has a case in his hands as these three men are on a mission to show The NWA that they are the top dogs in the Tag Division. The Bellhops are just two local jobbers. They get completely squashed as MVC is showing what they are capable of. Williams nails The Oklahoma Stampede as Gordy knocks the other bellhop off the apron with a boot across the face! MVC gets the three count and compellingly wins this match, as MVC is showing why they will be the team to beat for sure! After the match, Ted Dibiase demands a microphone!}
Ted Dibiase: You are looking at the next NWA World Tag Team Champions right here. See, it doesn't matter who steps into the ring. Gordy and Williams will do what I pay them to do: win matches and hurt people. Now, if you want to know what I am in the NWA for. For the past few months, I have been biding my time and waiting for the "PERFECT" opportunity, and that's precisely what I will do now. The Million Dollar Corporation is back, and it's here in the NWA. So, without any further waiting. Let me introduce all you nickel and dimers to the CROWN JEWEL of the Million Dollar Corporation; after brokering a deal with Dusty Rhodes, this man will be your NEXT NWA United States Champion….Please welcome
"MR.PERFECT" CURT HENNIG
{The crowd EXPLODES! Hennig comes out of the curtain with a big smile on his face. Hennig has the towel around his neck and raises it high in the air as he walks into the ring and shakes hands with Ted Dibiase and The MVC! Hennig is here in the NWA and will be competing as Dusty Rhodes pick in the NWA United States Championship, and not only that Hennig has joined forces with Ted Dibiase and his Million Dollar Corporation! The big question now is who is going to be Paul Heyman's pick!}
{We return from the commercial and see Paul Heyman standing by! Paul looks to be upset about Hennig being the pick of Dusty Rhodes. Paul Heyman sees the camera and begins speaking.}
Paul Heyman: I should have known that a Rhodes could never be trusted. I always wondered how someone like Dusty Rhodes could have revived the NWA. Now, I know you exactly what happened that you whored yourself out to someone like Ted Dibiase. Dusty, I was going to pick someone I could easily control to challenge, but I now know what is happening. I think it's time we bring a little unpredictable into The NWA. Next week, Battle of the Belts! The United States Championship will be decided, and Curt Hennig will face The Loose Cannon Brian Freakin' Pillman! Dusty, you thought this was going to be easy. Well, let's see how your wrestler does going EXTREME!
Singles Match
Shane Douglas vs. Edge with Christian Cage
{Edge makes his NWA debut here. Edge is FAR from his later looks, but you can easily see a kid that does at least look like something could be there. Edge has his brother Christian behind him as the two look ready to compete in the upcoming Tag Team Tournament, but this match isn't that Shane Douglas comes out, and the heat that Shane gets is LOUD! Douglas is descending the ramp like a man on a mission. Edge and Douglas work a good match. Douglas mostly controls it, but Edge gets a few spots in and shows he has something to him. Douglas, though, is on a whole different level. Whenever Edge gets the upper hand, it's constantly ended by Douglas breaking a rule or just out wrestling the blue chipper. The finish comes when Edge catches Douglas with a high dropkick across the jaw! Douglas is dazed as Edge goes to the top rope! Edge is stunned as Douglas leaps off the top rope for a crossbody! DOUGLAS CATCHES THE EDGE WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Douglas hooks the leg 1….2….3!!! Shane Douglas won this match! After the match. Shane doesn't look finished as Christian checks on his brother. Shane sees his chance and jumps Christian from behind! Shane leaves the ring and goes for a steel chair! Douglas is about to make Edge and Christian pay, but the BAGPIPES BEGIN PLAYING! Here comes Piper!
{Douglas swings the chair, but Piper ducks the chair and right hands to Douglas. Piper has Douglas dazed before a CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE! Piper is celebrating as Douglas heads up the ramp, and he is PISSED! Edge and Christian are getting back to their feet as Piper is checking up on them!}
{We come from the back, and it's The Thrillseekers Chris Jericho and Lance Storm standing by.}
Chris Jericho: Look, Lee, last week Rob Van Dam took me to my limit, and he did beat me, but I can promise you and all those fans watching tonight. I might have lost, but The Thrillseekers didn't. Together, The Thrillseekers will never fail. RVD tonight, you step in the ring with this man (Points at Lance Storm). I can promise you this RVD. Tonight, you will never be the same again. Cause when Lance Storm beats you, he gets the shot at 2 Cold Scorpio at Battle of the Belts!
Main Event
Rob Van Dam with Bill Alfonso vs. Lance Storm with Chris Jericho
{This is one hell of a main event! Storm comes out with Jericho behind him, and the fans are going wild! The Thrillseekers have the crowd rocking, but that is when "Walk" begins playing, and here comes RVD with Bill Alfonso leading the way, blowing the whistle! The fan-favorite comes down the ramp to a massive reaction. RVD and Storm work a hard-hitting and high-impact match. RVD and Storm work like they have been in the ring against each other for years. This crowd split in the middle as Jericho and Fonzie cheer on their respective partners. RVD springboards into the ring, but Storm with a SUPERKICK! The fans EXPLODE! Storm makes the cover 1…..2…..SHOULDER UP! Storm and Jericho can't believe it! Storm is trying to figure out what it will take to put RVD down for good. Storm picks up RVD for a Powerbomb, but RVD can counter, and over-the-top rope goes Storm! RVD proceeds to vault over the top rope, and a crossbody lands right on top of Storm! RVD picks up Storm and body slams him in the middle of the arena floor! RVD picks up Storm and places him on the barricade!

RVD climbs to the top rope, but when he does, Jericho grabs Storm's leg and drags him out of the ring!

The fans are shocked as the referee isn't calling for the bell! Rude is THROWING a fit! Styles says it's cause Storm brought the chair in as a weapon, and technically, RVD didn't use it. It just happened to hit Storm! Jericho leaps on the apron, but RVD, with a stiff forearm shot, sends Jericho to the floor. Storm is laid on the mat as RVD leaps to the top rope!
