Thursday Night Carnage debuted with a match. Footage was shown from the night before as Angelica defeated Liana Lewis, H-Bomb and Oliva to win SIW Women's championship. Regina Todd took on the new champion in a singles match but couldn’t get the win. Angelica proved her match the night before was no fluke as she defeated Regina with the A-Bomb Drop and pinned her to retain her title. At the end of the match, H-Bomb rushed to ringside and attacked Regina and then the SIW Hardcore champion Anck Su Namun appeared and jumped H from behind. As all four divas brawled, Latesha came out from the crowd and leveled every diva with Jimmy Hayden’s steel chair making her presence felt. Blood could be seen dripping down Regina’s face.
Polar was having a meeting with Bad Breed and told them that next week on Carnage, he was booking them against the SIW Tag Team champions whoever it may be, Kirby or Rico with their new partner. He also mentioned that he heard Titan wasn’t doing a good job at putting them in the spotlight. He told them he wanted them to be excusive to Carnage if a brand split were to ever happen.
After a promo for Monday Night Brawl the next match got underway as Davyd North took on former SIW European champion Russel McPiledriverton. Russel wore “The Incredible” Ian Bishop t-shirt mocking the hardcore trainee. Davyd North hasn’t lost since his return but came close after Russel hit a Russian leg sweep and an elbow off the second rope. Davyd North went to nail Russel with the Northern Effect but then the SIW Lightweight Champion Terror Soule came down the ramp. Serenity distracted the referee as Terror Soule knocked out Russel with his Lightweight title and then threw it to North. The referee disqualified North when he say Russel laying on his back and North with the title in his hands. Serenity then gave North a low blow and Terror then executed the Soule Fusion leaving North motionless in the middle of the ring.
The fans were excited when the TrevorTron advertised a new wrestler by the name of El Supermercado. Jimmy Hayden who claims to know everything in SIW didn’t even know who he was. This masked wrestler from parts unknown is scheduled to debut this Saturday when he replaces Seabass in Saint Paul, Minnesota to take on The Showstoppa. Hayden said he might be from Mexico but he wasn’t sure. Travis Dunns asked Carlos Perez and Pedro Alvarez at the Spanish table but even they didn’t know who this masked figure was.
After a commercial break, the Minnesota crowd were presented the first ever SIW Gorilla Press Slam match. The Renegade took on his long time rival Grunge in this unique match. Grunge bodyslammed The Renegade on the steel steps and it sounded like Renegade’s back cracked. At one point Drako came out and stood at top of the ramp with a mic in hand and distracted Grunge by telling him he knew where Chastity was. From behind, The Renegade hit a Running Bulldog and then executed a Slam Jam DDT. Renegade then delivered a perfect Gorilla Press Slam to win the match. As Renegade went backstage to celebrate, Drako assaulted Grunge in the ring using a metal wire around his throat until security rushed out to end the vicious attack.
Christina York caught up with the former SIW Lightweight champion Slick Willy Seaman. He was quite pissed off at Phoenix Walken for his interference in his match for the SIW Hardcore Championship. As Slick continued to talk shit about Phoenix and their upcoming match in Brawl, Walken attacked him from behind and sent him flying head first in the camera equipment. Walken then suplexed Slick into the equipment and left the scene before security could catch him. Slick Willy
Ian Bishop took on “The Disco Duck” Jimmy Cefalo in a factory match. The match was presented on the TrevorTron from a nearby factory in Minnesota. Ian has been on a roll recently and is undefeated in 2005. Bishop whipped Cefalo into a concrete wall and then drop kicked him into a pile of linear light bulbs. Bishop then used a forklift to drop a stack of boxes over Cefalo’s head. Bishop ended the match when he leaped off a crate and executed the Trash Can Horror. Ian then told Russel warning McPiledriverton that what he did to Cefalo was only a taste that what he’d feel at Assault 2005 and to watch his back.
After a video promo for the best of Latesha, the SIW European champion came out to ringside not wearing his wrestling gear for his match against Dallas Nash. His opponent apparently quit the night before after his loss to Josh Money. Rikki Cook then said he won by forfeit and celebrated until Polar came out and demanded the European title to be put on the line. Polar then chose Kieran Dunbow as his new challenger. Rikki quickly got a victory after hitting Dunbow with the High Temperature and pinned him. Rikki then challenged Polar to a match. Polar accepted but as he reached the ring, Rikki nailed him with a baseball slide sending him crashing into the steel railing. Rikki then kicked down the General Manager of Carnage until he couldn’t move anymore. Paramedics took Polar to the Abbott Northwestern Hospital and it was reported that he was treated for some internal injuries.
Christina York introduced the new SIW North American champion “Primetime” Ryan Johnson. Last Monday, Primetime shocked the world when he defeated Enigma and his friend Johnny Ringo to win the title. Primetime was greeted by balloons and confetti. He told Christina to get out of the ring while he did his victory speech. He was soon cut off when Rico, Ringo, Bernardo, and Tommy D come out and surrounded the ring. Then they climbed in the ring and surrounded Primetime. Ringo walked up and grabbed the NA Title away from Johnson. Ringo turned his back on Johnson and climbed the turnbuckle and held the NA Title up to the fans. Ringo handed the NA Belt to Bernardo as he took a step closer to Johnson with all four men surrounding the champ. Ringo made a move towards Primetime but Ryan threw his arms up in defense. Ringo then to give Primetime a hug, then all of the members of Rated X join in the group hug. After the hug, Ringo took the belt away from Bernardo and places it around the waist of Johnson. It wasn’t a happy ending cause from the crowd came Enigma, VeX and Glenn Kirby to crash the party. Rated X , Deadly Alliance and Glenn Kirby battled until Rated X took a beating but eventually things evened out with Bernardo getting shots in. Carnage ended when Trevor Derickson made a surprise appearance telling all of them to stop their shit and personally told Rated X that he hadn’t forgot about what they did to him. He had a punishment for all of them, first was Primetime, he booked him to take on VeX next Thursday for the SIW North American Championship. Then he looked at Ringo and Rico and booked them in a match at Assault. He said to make sure they fight; the winner will become the #1 contender for the SIW World Championship.
