***BTB of the Month*** - WCW/ECW 2001 and Beyond - The Alliance Lives (1)


WCW/ECW SuperBrawl XII
February 24, 2002
Georgia Dome
Atlanta, GA

Scott Hudson: “Welcome everyone to the Georgia Dome! Over 70,000 fans are in attendance nevermind the millions watching at home for SuperBrawl XII! Tonight, three of professional wrestling’s biggest stars, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin and WCW World Champion Kurt Angle compete for the biggest prize in our industry. But we kick things off with two of the best pound-for-pound wrestlers in the world, Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis.”

Mike Tenay: “

That’s right Scott. One criticism from the news outlsets, fair or not, is that the re-birth of the WCW brand hasn’t been “WCW enough”. Well let me tell you, Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera? It doesn’t get much more WCW that that. These two were a couple of the cornerstones for the WCW Cruiserweight division in classic WCW. Both men are multi-time former WCW Cruiserweight Champions. In a matter of moments, both men take the first steps toward adding another notch onto that accomplishment.”

Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis both have their masks on as they head to the ring, and each get a great reaction.

Juventud Guerrera vs. Psicosis

Both men circle one another. Psicosis goes for a punch but Juvi blocks and gets chops. Psicosis blocks the Irish whip and kicks Juvi, then hits a swinging neckbreaker! Cover from Psicosis, but Juvi quickly kicks out after one. Psicosis sends Juvi off the ropes, but Juvi ducks the clothesline. Juvi ducks another swing from Psicosis then catches him with a hurricanrana! Juvi runs at Psicosis in the corner, but Psicosis backdrops Juvi…who lands on the apron. Juvi grabs Psicosis’ hair and pulls him right down to the canvas! Juvi jumps onto the ropes and bounces off the ropes for a quick moonsault, but Psicosis moves out of the way. Psicosis gets a kick, then sends Juvi off the ropes. Spinebuster from Psicosis! Psicosis picks Juvi up to a vertical base then chops away at him. Juvi struggles to stay on his feet. Psicosis comes off the ropes and hits Juvi with a spinning heel kick and that sends Juvi to the outside.

Psicosis heads to the outside and sends Juvi into the barricade. Psicosis sets Juvi up for a suplex, and turns it into a brainbuster on the floor! Psicosis climbs back into the ring, but instead of letting the referee count he heads to the top rope! Psicosis hits a flying senton from the top rope to Juvi on the floor! Psicosis slides back into the ring and the referee begins to count, and Juvi just isn’t moving. Referee gets to eight and Juvi shows some life! Nine…and Juvi is back on the apron. Psicosis meets him there and stands on the bottom rope to suplex Juvi back in the hard way. Psicosis covers, 1…2…Juvi just kicks out and Psicosis shows some frustration to the referee. Psicosis slams Juvi down and leaps to the top rope, but the corkscrew moonsault misses as Juvi moves out of the way at the last minute!

Juvi comes off the ropes and Psicosis goes for a backdrop, allowing Juvi to hit him with a Rocker Dropper! Psicosis tries to escape to the outside, but Juvi hits him in the back and half of Psicosis’ body is now hanging inside the ring between the ropes. Juvi quickly gets into the turnbuckles and hits a somersault legdrop on the hanging Psicosis! Cover, 1…2…Psicosis kicks out!

He comes flying off, but Psicosis catches him with a dropkick!

Psicosis slams Juvi and looks to finish him off by heading to the top rope, but Juvi stops him by hitting the ropes. With Psicosis crotched on the top rope, Juvi springboards off the top rope and gets a diving hurricanrana on Psicosis from the top rope! Juvi covers, 1…2…Psicosis just kicks out. Juvi picks Psicosis up and plants him with the Juvi Driver! Juvi doesn’t go for the cover but instead drags Psicosis to the corner and heads up top. 450 Splash misses as Psicosis just moves out of the way! Now Psicosis is the one doing the dragging as he drags Juvi to the middle of the ring. Psicosis heads up top, but Juvi is back up and meets him up there. Juvi goes for a superplex but Psicosis blocks it…then hits Juvi with a front suplex off the very top rope! Psicosis calls for the end and heads up top one more time…and he hits the Psycho Guillotine Legdrop! Cover, 1…2…3! What a match, and Psicosis will wrestle Jerry Lynn for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship on Nitro!

Winner: Psicosis via pinfall in 17:05

Scott Hudson

: “Jerry Lynn is going to have his hands full tomorrow night, although he has to make it through tonight as well!”

Mike Tenay:

“That was as high impact as I was expecting Scott.”

We head backstage as Kevin Kelly sees that R-Killa and Mark Henry have entered the Georgia Dome.

Kevin Kelly: R-Killa, R-Killa, a word?”

R-Killa: “Hell you want?”

Kevin Kelly: “Quite frankly we weren’t expecting you here after the match between you two and Trailer Park Kash was cancelled due to Mark Henry’s attack this past week…”

R-Killa: “The hell you sayin’? Don’t be putting it on The World’s Strongest Man that those two pieces of trash aren’t tough enough to make it here tonight. That’s on them. We making our own chances out here and we got our own business. Now get out my way honky!”

Scott Hudson: “Well, what could that mean?”

Mike Tenay: “I don’t know Scott. It can’t be anything good.”

Scott Hudson: “Anyway, coming up next, the final for the new World Women’s Championship. Jazz, Luna Vachon, Molly Marvel and Ivory all won matches on Nitro in order to qualify for this match.”

Mike Tenay:

“That’s right Scott. Each competitor has had an interesting and different career path to this moment. Luna Vachon is an AWA/WWF/ECW/WCW mainstay. She’s competed for both the short-lived WCW Women’s Championship in the mid-90s and the WWF Women’s Championship, but has never won the title. This is her chance.

Ivory vs. Jazz vs. Luna Vachon vs. Molly Marvel

All four women quickly square off, with Luna and Jazz battering one another and Molly and Ivory going at it as well.

Jazz tosses Molly into the barricade! Luna comes off the top rope with the Luna Eclipse, but Ivory moves out of the way! Jazz comes in and grabs Ivory by the hair and tosses her across the ring!

Ivory sends Jazz off the ropes, but the backdrop attempt is countered into a double underhook suplex! Luna then comes off the top rope with a Luna-Sault onto Ivory! 1…2…3!

Elimination 1: Luna Vachon pins Ivory in 4:56

Luna turns around and is immediately planted by Jazz with a Jazz Stinger! Jazz covers, 1…2…3!

Molly picks Jazz up and hits a backbreaker. Molly heads to the top rope...Molly-Go-Around is caught and Jazz shows tremendous power and turns it into a spinebuster! Cover, 1…2…Molly just kicks out. Jazz comes off the ropes and cartwheels away from Molly, only to be a perfect distance away to get in a kick to the chest! Jazz springboards off the turnbuckles with a crossbody to Molly, 1…2…Molly uses the momentum to reverse the pin, 1…2…Jazz kicks out. Molly walks into a bodyslam from Jazz.

Mike Tenay: “I’m sure Molly will do great as inaugural champion!”

Scott Hudson: “

Next, we have a six-man tag team match. The issues between these men go back to just after Starrcade in December. Tajiri and Torrie Wilson had broken up, much to William Regal’s delight. Diamond Dallas Page made the save when it looked like Regal and Tajiri had Torrie trapped. Regal brought in his friend from overseas Finlay. DDP enlisted the help of Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo. This should be a good one!”

Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. Wiliam Regal, Tajiri and Finlay

Scott Hudson

: “Maybe this will put our commissioner in his place once and for all. Ladies and gentlemen we’re going to be sending SuperBrawl over to Joey Styles as coming up next, it’s the Extreme Brawl.”

***

We go backstage into the locker room area…

Jerry Lynn: AJ, I see you’re suiting up to go out there. Well I have something to teach you here. If you want it to matter, you gotta win the big ones on your own.”

AJ Styles: “Yeah? But I mean, I watched you win the title a couple of years ago, and that wasn’t on your own.”

Jerry Lynn: “That’s why I have to do this one myself.”

AJ Styles: “Alright, I got you.”

***

Joey Styles: “Ladies and gentlemen at home I’m Joey Styles here to bring you The Extreme Brawl. No disqualifications, falls count anywhere. Right now you are hearing “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” as Justin Credible and Mike Awesome hit the ring.

Joey Styles

: “My god Tazz has done it! I don’t know how many of you had Tazz in your office pool, but the Human Suplex Machine still has something left. Now will he face one of his long time rivals in Sabu or Rob Van Dam? Or will he face Brock Lesnar?! What a match any of those three are. I’m about to send it back to Scott Hudson, but…

Bubba Ray Dudley: “Hey Joey. How about you start talking about something relevant? How about you sit here and report on the Dudley Boyz putting an end to the Legion of Doom? You always want to talk badly about the Dudley Boyz…

Joey Styles: “I…I haven’t said anything!”

D-Von Dudley: “Shut up Joey! You ain’t listening!”

Bubba Ray Dudley: “We’re about to go into that ring and prove once again why me and my brother D-Von are the best damn tag team in the world! And I better hear you talk about that in the next few weeks! And, if I see you look at Stacy the wrong way we’re going to come back here and break your neck!”

Joey Styles closes his eyes as the Dudley Boyz make their way to the ring for the WCW World Tag Team Championship Match!

Scott Hudson

: “I can’t believe that Spike Dudley would take the side of his half-brothers, weren’t they beating the hell out of him just a couple months ago?!”

Mike Tenay: “Who knows what goes on inside that head of his. Surely it’s a very disappointing result for the Legion of Doom. But the Dudleyz did stake a real claim for best tag team in the world, if not of all-time, with a big win tonight.”

Scott Hudson: “

Up next, this is a match that’s been two months in the making. Can Test take down the revived Giant?”

Winner: The Giant via pinfall in 2:22

The Giant tosses Test to the outside and raises his hand above his head. Test clearly can’t even stand and has to be helped to the back.

Scott Hudson: Well, that did not last long at all. The Giant means business here and Test stood no chance right from the beginning. You’ve gotta wonder if Test regrets any of his actions the part few weeks against The Giant. I’m not even sure if the next match is ready…up next is the match for the WCW United States Championship.”

Mike Tenay:

This should be a good one. Both United States Champion Christian and Booker T were considered great tag team wrestlers. Both of them broke out of that branding by winning singles championships. Booker T is the more accomplished, he is a former six-time WCW World Champion, but Christian has shown that type of potential throughout his career as well. Booker T is a former United States Champion as well, let’s see if he can take home the gold again!”

WCW United States Championship

Christian hits a backbreaker and goes for a fair pin attempt, 1…2…Booker T kicks out. Christian sends Booker off the ropes and gets a knee to the midsection. Christian mocks Booker by looking at his hand like Booker does. Booker tries to take advantage with a kick to the face attempt, but Christian counters and gets a kick of his own. Inverted DDT to the knee takes down Booker. Cover from Christian, 1…2…Booker kicks out again. Christian slows the pace down planting his knee in Booker’s back and pulling back his arms.

Winner: Christian via pinfall in 8:49 (Retains)

Scott Hudson: “

What a shame that R-Killa and Mark Henry came here at SuperBrawl XII and ruined a great United States Championship match! First, they ruin their own match by injuring their opponents, now this! Well, nonetheless we’re going to send it to Joey Styles for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship Dream Partner Tag Team Match.”

Joey Styles: “

Thank you Scott. Definitely a shame about Booker T, hell we have to deal with R-Killa and Mark Henry on RISE too. Anyway, the time has come. If you’re a relatively new viewer, you will see the most insane competitor in that ring in Sabu. It’s Rob Van Dam and Sabu against The ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin. If either Sabu or Van Dam beat Lesnar, they win the title!”

ECW World Championship – Dream Partner Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar © and Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu

Lesnar demands that Benjamin start the match, but Benjamin is a bit apprehensive as Sabu stands across the ring from him. Lesnar tells Benjamin to just “wrestle him”. Benjamin circles Sabu…and Sabu dives for the leg. Benjamin evades and gets on top of Sabu, slapping him in the back of the head. Benjamin poses to the crowd after “besting” Sabu in the exchange, not seeing that RVD has thrown Sabu a chair! Benjamin turns around and Sabu rockets the chair right in Benjamin’s face! Benjamin tries to regain his bearings in the corner, but Sabu sets the chair up in the middle of the ring and hits him with Air Sabu!

Heyman feigns keeping order and tries to get Anderson out of there, but Sabu grabs him by his tie! Benjamin comes flying off the top rope with a somersault dive onto Sabu…taking out Heyman as well! Brock lifts RVD high in the air and hits a side backbreaker! Cover, 1…2…RVD kicks out. Anderson sets a table up on the outside and tries to put Sabu on it, but Sabu fights back and rams Anderson into the barricade. Benjamin is back in the ring and he and Lesnar pound away on RVD. RVD pops up and hits both Benjamin and Lesnar with jump kicks. As Benjamin is down, Sabu comes off the top rope with a chair and hits him with an Arabian Facebuster! Sabu and RVD each have chairs and swing away on Lesnar! After six or seven shots each RVD climbs the ropes to pose to the crowd while Sabu puts Lesnar in the Camel Clutch! RVD realizes Sabu could win the title right there…so he takes a chair and skateboards it in Lesnar’s face! This breaks the hold and Sabu gets in RVD’s face about it. RVD and Sabu seem to agree on something and they head to the outside.

Sabu puts a chair in Anderson’s face and RVD hits him with the Van Daminator! Anderson ends up on the table and Sabu puts a chair in the ring. He goes for Air Sabu through the table, but he gets stopped by Benjamin, who shakes the top rope and leads to Sabu getting crotched. RVD hits Benjamin with a springboard spinkick! RVD puts a chair in the ring and hits Benjamin with a monkey flip, with Benjamin landing on the chair! Sabu stands on the apron and RVD puts the chair on Benjamin…and they hit the classic Rolling Thunder-Legdrop combination! Lesnar attacks RVD and knocks him down. Lesnar picks RVD up on his shoulders for the F5, but Sabu throws a chair and hits Lesnar square in the face! Sabu then sets the chair up and leaps off it to the top rope, then hits Air Sabu through Anderson and the table on the outside! RVD hits Lesnar with the Split-Legged Moonsault and covers, 1…2…Lesnar just kicks out! Lesnar and RVD fight over the chair, which Lesnar wins. Lesnar swings for the fences but RVD ducks…and hits the Van Daminator! RVD heads to the top rope…Five Star Frog Splash connects! RVD covers, 1…2…Sabu drags RVD off Lesnar! Sabu and RVD argue again, clearly about who’s going to pin Lesnar. They seem to come to an agreement again, but when RVD turns around Sabu throws a chair to RVD’s back! Sabu sets up the chair and looks to hit Lesnar and RVD with Air Sabu…but Benjamin grabs Sabu and dumps him over the top rope and through a table with a T-Bone suplex! Heyman slides the ECW World Championship into the ring. Lesnar nails RVD with the title belt…then puts RVD on his shoulders…hitting an F5 on the open chair in the ring! Lesnar covers RVD, 1…2…3!

Winners: Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin when Lesnar pinned RVD in 17:15

Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin

leave immediately with Paul Heyman. Sabu get back on his feet and shakes his head, looking at the bloodied Rob Van Dam in the ring. RVD staggers out himself, and he clearly looks pissed about Sabu as well.

Joey Styles: “I guess we should have seen that coming. As great a tag team Rob Van Dam and Sabu have been they’ve definitely had their issues as well. Deciding who would pin Lesnar to win the title, well, I guess in hindsight it’s clear they couldn’t figure that one out. It’s a damn shame that Brock escaped this one as well. And how much is Paul Heyman going to get away with? Anyway, back to Scott Hudson for the WCW Championship match.”

Scott Hudson:

“Thanks Joey. Coming up, three of professional wrestling’s biggest stars compete for the richest prize in the business, the WCW World Championship.”

DROWNING POOL CONCERT

I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling,
I can't seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster,
You can't seem to get away
Break
Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
Yes, I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel
To feel like this
Just like I do
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone

Drowning Pool then switches up to their cover of “The Game”.

***BTB of the Month*** - WCW/ECW 2001 and Beyond - The Alliance Lives (3)


Time to play the game
Time to play the game
Time to play the game
It's all about the game, you'll fall like the rest
You're failure is my success
It's all about control, will you make it?
I will deliver the pain you can't take it
I'm in control, I am the pain
After this you won't be the same
This is my time, I make the rules
You mess with this and you'll die like a fool
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain
Time to play the game

He is the 1996 Summer Olympics Gold Medal Winner in the Heavyweight, Freestyle category and is considered to be the greatest pound for pound wrestler in any style in the world. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Tonight he looks to defeat not one, but two of the biggest wrestling stars in the world. He is the current reigning and defending WCW Heavyweight Champion of the world…Kuuuuuuuuuuuurt ANGLE!”
