New York City, NY

The insane New York fans erupted to the HoH anthem "Tester" by Anthrax...In a special preliminary bout John "Flash" Gordon of the NWJW came out an defended his Jr. Title against "Sugar Ray Hollis of the HoH...A quick pace was established as both men exchanged arm drags...Hollis got the better of Gordon with a tumbling leg lock that had "Flash" stunned momentarily, but the crafty vetren escaped the hold and answered with a series of stunning right hands and a go behind into a tremendous bridging dragon suplex for a CLOSE Two count...Hollis was slow to rise and Gordon lept to the top turnbuckle and flew off connecting with a spinning lariat that sent both men to the canvas...Hollis rolled out to get a breath, Gordon took off to the other side of the ring, got a running start and threw himself in a corkscrew onto the unsuspecting Hollis...The crowd ERUPTED at this display of high risk...Gordon slid the reeling Hollis back in the ring and hit a springboard splash off the ropes themselves...He waited on the slowly rising Hollis before hitting a hurrancarrana for another VERY close Two count...Gordon was definitly a live wire from the volume the crowd was giving him...He shot Hollis to the turnbuckle and set him up top...He climbed after and signalled to the crowd...REVERSE FRANKENSTIENER!!!Hollis twitched as he layed sprawled out...Gordon again jumped to the top and immediately shot off into a Asai Moonsault to a PERFECT landing, in the process hooking the leg...1...2...3!!!!Big win for the current NWJW Jr. Champion...

Next up was an encounter scheduled to be Ivan "The Shooter" Poloski in his in-ring debut against Menace Styles of the ELITE, BUT Poloski it was announced had been pulled from the match by Commissioner Ben Maier and in his stead debuted Sampson Simpson...Styles recieved SERIOUS heat from the crowd as he and Ahmet Coban came down to the ring...He didn't help his cause any by getting on the mic and cutting a blistering promo bashing the HoH, the New York fans, and Simpson who he called a "wanta be"...With that "There Goes the Neighborhood" by Body Count ERUPTED out of the PA and Sampson Simpson sprinted to the ring knocking Coban onto his back with a HUGE clothesline and following it up with a BIG time tackle that left Styles breathless and in a pinning predicament...After a quick Two count Styles slid out of the sloppy pin attempt and quickly got back to his feet were the two exchanged left hands...Styles slid a knee lift in stunning Simpson...Styles followed it up with a quick DDT and a serious of stiff boots to the head of the down Sampson Simpson...Coban motioned to the back....Styles with the pick up into a high vertical suplex...He quickly picked up the stunned Simpson and hit a snap suplex...Simpson shot back to his feet and grabbed Styles hitting a very stiff judo-type hype throw...Styles rolled on his hip in obvious pain...Simpson stalked in, BUT as he looked to lift Menace to his feet recieved a low blow followed by a jaw breaker!!!Menace then climbed the nearby turnbuckle and jawed with the New York crowd...Simpson shot to his feet and slipped underneath Styles and hit a HUGE powerbomb off the top!!!Styles layed limp as Simpson stumbled around in attempt to regain his senses...Coban slid in only to be restrained by the earstwhile ref....WHILE out of the back sprinted Treymayne Ramsey who waited on the former three time All-American from Oklahoma to turn around and BLASTED him with a short arm powerbomb of his own...He then helped up Styles who was still reeling...Simpson attempted to get up, but Ramsey met him with a series of fists to the side of the head...Styles finally shook loose the cob webs and locked on the gutwrench set up...Ramsey slid out as Coban got off the ring apron letting the ref turn his attention back to the match...Styles with the lift off for the TWENTY-FIVE TO LIFE, BUT Simpson slips off the hold...AND hooks through the leg for a victory roll-up and a 1.....2..Grabbing the tights.....3!!!!!Coban and Ramsey shoot into the ring as Simpson slides out...He stumbles up the ramp way to A ENORMOUS ovation from the crowd, as the ELITE shout out to him to come back...

Next out was Arthur Hyde MUCH to the chagrin of the HoH faithful to face Marshall Delgado...Hyde immediatly flew out of the gates with a series of knee lifts followed by a quick fall-away slam...Delgado stumbled to his feet and was shot off the ropes, he attempted a leapfrog BUT Hyde put on the breaks and caught him in mid-air into an awkward BUT VERY effective spin buster!!!Hyde locked in a front chin lock stretching the shocked Delgado...He finally broke it, but layed in heavy knees to Delgado's exposed back...Hyde then lifted Delgado up into a vetical slam landing hard before planting another HARD elbow right into Delgado's neck...Hyde finally stopped his onslaught long enough to taunt the ruckus New York crowd...Delgado took the opportunity to recover and when Hyde turned hit him with a quick boot to the gut and a HUGE scissor kick to the back of his neck...Hyde went to his knees as Delgado hit a running reverse snap mare on the prone Englishman...Hyde clutched his neck as Delgado grabbed him in a front chancerary and hit a huge release Northern Lights suplex...Delgado had the crowd firmly behind him and launched a stunned and depleted Hyde hard into the corner and went to the opposite end of the ring signalling to the crowd...Delgado launched into a running handspring back elbow, BUT just as he reached Hyde, the "Most DANGEROUS Man in Britian" yanked the ref in front of him, Delgado crushed him between his momentum and Hyde's mass...Delgado tried to help up the stunned official, BUT Hyde locked in the sleeper and then raised up the stunned luchadore before SLAMMING him violently to the mat!!!The recovering ref made the slow count..1....2......3!!!!Hyde picked up the controversial win....

In the main event The Reverend put up his Belt of Solutions against the man he left lying on "IT'S ON!" 911!!!!But just as the two behemoths TORE into each other "Choke" by Sepultura rang out across the building and out of the back came SPRINTING the XLPW HEAVYWIEGHT CHAMPION...RAJA RAVANA!!!!He immediately springboarded up to the top rope and launched himself into BOTH competitors!!!911 fell back stunned as the Reverend was taken RIGHT OFF his feet...Ravana followed it up with a seriuous of right hands to the side of the head, before rolling off the fallen monster and hitting 911 with a sweeping sidekick to the jaw...Following that up with an attempt at a suplex, BUT it was easily blocked and reversed into a vertical slam by the mammoth 911!!!The Reverend then hit a sledgehammer like blow to the back of 911 and picked the monster up in a bear hug...Ravana slid out as the Reverend sinched in his submission, squeezing mercilessly the air out of 911's lungs...Ravana shot to top rope before flipping off backwards slamming his frame into the two massive grapplers in the center of the ring...Looking like a car wreck more than a match, all three competitors slowly rose to thier feet, 911 was up first and was waiting on the slower Reverend, BUT as the Rev. rose he yanked Ravana in front of him!!!911 WITH THE CHOKESLAM!!!The Reverend then slid out grabbing his Belt of Solutions and stalking back up the rampway to a chorus of BOOS from the irate New York fans...911 quickly followed muc to the fans delight, leaving a limp XLPW champion to get the win via countout...
