Paul Heyman: I love it! The Rock, the Hardcore Champion, has quit DCW, leaving the Hardcore Title vacant. The U.S. and sole Tag Team Champion Triple H has temporarily left, vacating those titles. And most importantly, Stone Cold Steve Austin, after being injured, gave up his World Title.
JR: So tonight we will have four matches to determine who will go into a four corners match on Monday for the Hardcore Title, as well as matches for the Tag Team, U.S., and World Heavyweight Championships! This will be a great night! Let's get to the action, with the first of our four hardcore matches!

Hardcore Title Tournament
The lights dim as loud booming laughter blasts through the speakers, followed
by "head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. Albert walks out and is met by lots
of booing. He walks over to the side of the stage and tries to hide the best
a 350 pound man can.
Then "Medal" plays and the fans all cheer as their Olympic Hero comes out.
Albert charges him and Angle turns just as Albert hits him with a
clothesline. Angle slams agains the steel ground, then Albert begins the
stomp on him viciously. Albert spits on Angles face, then leans down and
yells at him "Get up, you are boring me. Get up and fight you bastard!"
Albert pulls Angle up after a few more stomps. Albert puts Angle on his
shoulder, then runs forward at the metal supports to the DCWTron. Angle's
lower back smashes into it and then Albert gorilla presses Angle above his
head. Albert presses him up and down a few times, then walks over to the edge
of the stage. Albert laughs then throws Kurt Angle off the stage, on to the
hard cement floor.
Angle is lying motionless on the ground, and Albert walks around down the
ramp and over to him. Albert gets down and covers Angle for a pin. The
referee begins the count, but Albert pulls Angle up before the pin is
complete. He gets a evil grin on his face, and gets Angle to his feet. Albert
looks over a table covered in sounds equipment and grabs Angle by the throat
with both hands. Albert runs and Baldobombs Angle through the table, Albert
rolls Angle up for a pin afterwards. Then referee counts the 1...2...3.
Winner: ALBERT
|
JR: Albert will be the first man in the Hardcore Title match, and will be joining three others.
Heyman: The Hardcore Commissioner is in action, and will be sending a message to Ric Flair in that match!

Hardcore Title Tournament
The sirens blare and the fans cheer for their favorite loser as Perry Saturn comes walking out. He walks to the ring and climbs in, waiting for his opponent.
The lights turn to a dark green and Vampiro's music echoes throughout the arena. After a moment, the Dark Angel emerges, but instead of walking down to the ring, he just stands in the entrance way. Saturn looks confused and then suddenly starts to get it. He turns around to receive a big clothesline from Tazz.
Vampiro rushes the rest of the way down to the ring and the two Wing members proceed to double-team Saturn. They stomp on his body, never giving him the chance to get up. Finally, they lean over to pick him up, but he hits them both with low-blows. He quickly climbs outside the ring and both men follow him.
As they are chasing him, Raven gets a quick opportunity to grab a fire extinguisher from under the ring. He lifts the nozzle and sprays the two men, then leaping forward and smashing the weapon over Tazz' head. He then turns around to do the same to Vampiro, but the Dark Angel catches him and chokeslams him hard to the mat.
Vampiro picks up Saturn again, but suddenly a masked man comes running through the crowd, carrying a kendo stick. He leaps over the railing and starts beating Vampiro with the stick. Once he is satisfied that he has immobilized Vampiro, he turns and leaves.
Saturn sees the masked man running away and looks after him, clearly as confused as the audience. During Saturn's confusion, however, Tazz picks him up over his head and literally tosses him into the ring.
Saturn flies into the ring and lands on the mat as Tazz climbs in. Saturn gets to his feet and runs at Tazz, but the Thug lifts his foot, administering another boot to the gut. Saturn again gets to his feet and charges him again, this time leaping at him with a cross body block.
Tazz catches Saturn and tosses him back over his head. Saturn lands hard, and Vampiro covers him for the win.
Winner: VAMPIRO
|
JR: And Vampiro is the second man to make it into the Hardcore Title match.
Heyman: You know what that means, JR? Albert and Vampiro are both in that match. It doesn't matter who else makes it in, they don't stand a chance against that awesome force.
JR: That's an arguable point, Cactus Jack has defeated Vampiro in a hardcore environment before, and he can still make it into the match. Even if he doesn't they still have Kane, Gangrel, and Hardcore Holly to worry about.

European Title Match
William Regal comes walking out to his music and goes down to the ring after waving to the crowd.
Trish Stratus comes out to her music and walks daintily to the edge of the stage and waves to the crowd. She then walks down to the ring to meet her opponent.
Regal sprints at Trish with full force and pulls off a devastating running clothesline. Trish goes flying backwards and nearly knocks herself out when her head hits the ring post. Regal laughs and starts dancing around the ring in a brittish fashion.
Trish seizes the opportunity and jumps up. She whips out a cigarette and lights it. Then she leans against the turnbuckle, watching Regal and slowly taking a drag.
Regal notices her finally and stops dancing. He lets out a low growl and runs at her. Trish waits until Regal gets right up to her before she dodges out of the way. She spins around and jabs the lit end of the cigarette in Regal's eye, and then while he's screaming, she kicks him right between the legs.
Regal goes down, and she makes the pin, somehow sneaking a whole bunch of illegal moves by the oblivious referee.
Winner and still EUROPEAN CHAMP: TRISH STRATUS
|
JR: Trish Stratus is certainly having a successful run with that title.
Heyman: She just stuck a cigarette in William Regal's eye!

Hardcore Title Tournament
A circle of flames appears in the entrance and creepy music plays. Slowly, Gangrel raises from a hole in the entrance way to the booing of the fans. He walks down to the ring, carrying his goblet. He climbs up onto the apron and takes a drink, spitting it out over the crowd.
Fire blasts out of the entrance way as Kane's music begins. Slowly, the Big, Red Machine emerges from backstage and makes his way down to the ring. He climbs into the ring over the top ropes and raises his arms, slamming them down to send more fire flying about.
Gangrel irish whips Kane and clothes lines him over the top rope. Gangrel waits for Kane to regain his footing then moonsoults him over the ropes. The two men lay there then Gangrel gets up first. He pulls a garbage can from under the mat. Kane turns around and dropkicks the garbage can into Gangrel's face. Then he pulls Gangrel to his feet and beats him up the steel ramp. He grabs his tights and supexes Gangrel into the hard steel. Kane goes for a pin but Gangrel kicks out after two.
They both regain their vertical base and start to fight again. Kane smashes Gangrel with a hard left and grabs his head slamming it into the supports for the DCWTron. Kane backs away waiting for Gangrel to rise. When Gangrel does get up he runs at him. Right before he gets there a Gangrel does a drop toe hold. Kane's face smashes into the ramp. Gangrel lifts him onto his shoulders and runs. He smashes Kane down again into the ramp. Gangrel goes for a pin but Kane kicks out. Gangrel stomps on Kane and then when Kane gets up he kicks him in the gut. Gangrel shoves Kane's head between his legs setting him up for a powerbomb. Gangrel lifts him into the air and slams him down. The steel in the ramp gives and it breaks. Kane falls down through the stage. Gangrel looks down with a sick smile on his face. Then he hops into the hole. The referee follows and counts the one-two-three on Kane.
Winner: GANGREL
|
JR: Gangrel will be joining Albert and his fellow Wing member Vampiro in the hardcore match.
Heyman: So what that means is, be it Hardcore Holly or Cactus Jack, the fourth person in the match will be outnumbered and destroyed.
