1st Mariner Arena Club W4L Subscription Service from W4L-GFX presents... Night of Champions IX The feed went live into the 1st Marina Arena as "Forget to Remember" by Mudvayne blasted through the audio system. Jim Ross and Tazz welcomed the audience from ringside and ran through the card for the evening. Just as the first match was about to be introduced, Team Canada interupted the proceedings. Trish Stratus, Eric Young, Petey Williams, Bobby Roode and Johnny Devine entered the ring and pushed the ring announcer to the side and took the microphone from his hand.Trish Stratus; "What the hell happened here last week? First of all, we were robbed of our belts, and then some punk kids come in and attack the Dudleyz. So I guess now that they've pissed off Bubba and D-Von, they think they're first in line for a title shot? Well I'm afraid to announce that that isn't going to happen quite like that because if anyone is going to get the first shot at the Dudleyz, it's us! So before anything is decided, I'm announcing that we'll be cashing in our rematch clause next week!" Petey Williams tapped Trish on the shoulder and whispered into her ear. "What do you mean you can't be in the match? You think your Final Four match is more important than this? There's no I in team, Petey! But fine, you want to go for your own personal goal, rather than that of the team, go ahead, because you're easily replaced. Bobby! You'll be teaming with Eric. Oh, and Petey, if you don't win next week, you better regret that decision, because if you don't, I'll make you regret it!" Petey then snatched the microphone away from Trish. "Who the hell do you think you are? If it wasn't for me, there would be no team. I'm a two-time JGP Champion, I've proved myself as a singles guy. So if you've suddenly lost your faith in me, then maybe I don't want to be in your team anymore." Once he had dropped the microphone, Petey turned around but was met by a clothesline from the 'Canadian Enforcer' Bobby Roode. Like a pack of wild dogs, the rest of Team Canada circled around Petey, each taking their own shots. Trish screamed directions at them, and Bobby followed by planting Petey in the middle of the ring with a huge Spiral Powerbomb! Trish picked the microphone up. "Good luck next week Petey, because I think you'll need it. Not only will you have to go it all alone, but you'll be going it alone against.. Kurt Angle!" A couple of referees ran from the back to check on Petey Williams as what was left of Team Canada left the ring and waved Petey goodbye. Backstage: Randy Orton entered the arena and was quickly approached by Steve Austin who said that he had been trying to get hold of him all week. "You want to know where I've been? Your guess is as good as mine! That son of a bitch drove me to the middle of nowhere and left me for dead. I've had no time to prepare for tonight, I'm going in cold Steve!" Steve lowered his head into his hands, and then burst out in rage by kicking and throwing anything that he could get his hands on. "I'll make that bastard pay, you mark my words. I'll tell you what, I'll put the match back to next week to give you some more time to prepare, because this match is too important to me to be messed up. If you're going to be my next World Champion, I need you to be on top of your game, I need you fresh." Randy; "There's no need Steve, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I may not have been able to work out in the gym or the ring, but I'll so pissed off right now that if Chris Jericho makes it out of Baltimore alive, it will be a miracle!" Singles Contest
Winner: 'Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels Aftermath:Daniels was hardly moving after pinning Kane and had to be dragged from the ring by Austin Aries and Allison Danger who had ran down to ringside. The crowd were still in shock after the debut of Abyss by the side of Jim Mitchell who was trying to contain his monster. Amazingly, Kane sat up and looked straight at Abyss who wanted to get straight back into the ring, but Mitchell managed to pull him away. Backstage: Shelton Benjamin was sitting backstage watching the monitor when Paul Heyman rushed into the room unable to contain his joy. Shelton tried to calm Paul down to hear the good news, but it would take him a little while. Once Paul was sat down and settled, Shelton asked him what he was so excited about. "I just came from Steve's office, and I found out who you'll be facing next week in your Final Four Tournament match. Beat this guy, and you'll have yet another former Champion to add to the list. This guy is a guy I know very well, because his month successful days were under my control. And this guy was the very first GWA North American Champion.. Lance Storm! He's respected not only by the boys, but the fans, so if you beat this guy, your stock rises another notch, and you'll take another step closer to getting what you deserve, a piece of Championship gold!" The camera zoomed out to capture Shelton Benjamin's reaction, and he was almost as happy as Paul orignally was. Shelton smile reached from one ear to the other. Backstage: Colt Cabana introduced a special edition of "Good Times, Great Memories" with a very special guest. Colt introduced his guest as a true wrestling legend, someone who has been involved in some of the most heated of rivalries of the past decades.. "Ladies and Gentlemen... Moppy!" The crowd broke out into laughter as the camera cut across his desk to see nothing but an ordinary mop leaning up against a chair, with a smiley face marked on. "Now Moppy, just like everyone around the world, you obviously tuned into Shockwave last week and saw what went down between myself and 'Captain Charisma'. I mean, whilst I was holding it down with the 'Thug Superstar' Tazz, he tried to sneak up from behind, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of my dashing good looks, he ran away scared. I know, I know, men have been intimidated by my looks before, but never like that. And so, that leads me to my very first question to you Moppy, do you think that this will give me the edge going into our match next week?" The camera once again cut across to "Moppy", but obviously there was just silence. "Lost for words? Understood! But Moppy, its the rubber match, the decider. Christian beat me once, and I beat him the second go around. So diving into your reservoir of knowledge, who do you think will walk out with the big W next week?" Silence. "You know what Moppy? I've worked with bigger stars than you, and I just can't work with this level of unprofessionalism. Wow, that was a big word for me! I'm proud. Anyway, that's all from myself, 'Classic' Colt Cabana, this has been "Good Times, Great Memories" and I'll be seeing you, and Christian next week!" World Heavyweight Championship Contender's Match
Winner: 'Legend Killer' Randy Orton Backstage:Petey Williams was furious as he left the building, but he was caught up by Mean Gene who wanted a few words with him before he left. Gene wanted to know how he would be able to prepare for a match with someone such as Kurt Angle when he was just attacked by his closest friends. However, before Petey could give an answer, the man himself, Kurt Angle ran in from behind and caught Petey with a clubbing forearm. Petey tried to fight back but Kurt was too strong, and ended the attack by Angle Slamming Petey onto the hood of a car, leaving him clutching his ribs. Backstage: One week after defending his Junior Grand Prix Championship in a contraversial manner, Jimmy Yang stood with Taka Michinoku and his translator. Yang spoke a little something in Japanese, and for the English speaking fans, it was translated; "Mr. Yang says that he is pleased with last week's match, and is happy to announce that the match will be Shannon Moore's one and only shot at the belt. Mr. Yang says that he came to this country to face the best of the best, and so he has issued an open challenge to any Cruiserweight that has never held the title before. Mr. Yang will be answering this challenge in two weeks time. Thank you!" Jimmy Yang, Taka Michinoku and their translator all bowed to the camera and walked off, leaving the crowd wondering who would step up to the challenge. GWA North American Championship
Winner, and new North American Champion: Samoa Joe Aftermath:Joe grabbed the belt from the hands of the referee and lifted it high above his head. He then walked over to the unconcious Shawn Michaels who was wearing the infamous crimson mask. Joe then put his hand across Shawn's cheek and wiped the blood across his chest. Before leaving the ring, Joe looked down at Shawn and performed a cut-throat signal, showing that he had indeed "killed" to get the title. Outside the Arena: America's White Trash were walking away from the arena after snacking on some of the free food provided to the wrestlers. They stopped before entering their Portable Home once they noticed that some of their belongings had been thrown out onto the road. When the guys entered, a woman was standing there, and apprently she had been busy cleaning up around the place. The woman was apparently formerly known as "Simply Luscious" but she didn't actually disclose her name. When she noticed that she had been spotted, she threw her duster into the air and screamed.. "Hey guys! Welcome home!" AJ and Jamie looked at eachother, neither knowing how to handle the situation. Backstage: Steve Austin was sitting in his office congratulating Randy Orton on his victory against Chris Jericho earlier in the evening. He said that Randy would be recieving his shot on April 10th at Night of Champions X, and if he was a betting man, he'd say that Randy Orton would be the next World Heavyweight Champion. The meeting was then broken up by the Dudleyz who burst through the door. "Hey Boss, how's it going? Listen, we heard that Evans and Strong aren't here tonight, and that's cool, but now we're hearing that we got a title match against Team Canada next week? I mean Steve, come on, I know we're the most dominant team in the history of this sport, but how many guys do you want to be on our asses at once?" Steve thanked Randy for his time and asked him to leave. "Okay, firstly, I'd appreciate it if you knocked next time. Secondly, I had nothing to do with Evans and Strong attacking you last week. Sure, I signed them, but what they did was as much of a surprise to me as it was to you guys. And as for Team Canada, well they simply cashed in their rematch clause, and I can't do anything when it's all written down in the small print of a contract. This is how we're going to do it, I may not be the most friendly man, but I'm a man who demands competition, so next week in your title defense, if Evans or Strong get involved, then I'll fire them on the spot!" Bubba and D-Von looked at eachother and then turned back to Steve. They then shook hands with him and left his office pleased with the outcome. World Heavyweight Championship "Last Man Standing" Contest
Winner, and still World Champion: Chris Benoit Aftermath:The crowd went insane as the referee counted the ten and awarded the match to Chris Benoit who could barely stand up against the turnbuckle. The referee raised Benoit's hand in victory, but as soon as he let him go, Benoit dropped down to his knees and then fell face first onto the canvas. The show ended with the crowd giving both men a standing ovation, even though both men were out for the count.
