"Show Time Power Hour" TV Taping Number 19 (Week 38)

The episode began with a video package recapping the tension "The Richards Collective" has with both "Los Hell Brothers" and "The Bullet Club."

William Regal: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the finest sixty minutes of pro wrestling in the world, the Show Time Power Hour! I'm your host, William Regal. I am joined by my co-host Renee Young. Renee, Jordan Richards has found his group, as well as NWA: Show Time itself, under siege recently!"

Renee Young: "Yes! He signed 'The Bullet Club' to compete as a faction within the confines of our company. They agreed in good faith. Once they got here, they have attempted to take. they've won two of our championships and have some sort of mysterious benefactor bankrolling their efforts. Several of our key players, both men and women, have defected to their side with the promise of double what they make here!"

Regal: "It seems like we are seeing another 'Bullet Club' defection each week. Idol Stevens debuted last week and promptly joined the group. They must have been waiting for him as soon as he came in the back door!"

Young: "I want to know who could possibly have the kind of money it's taking to 'buy' the new members of 'Bullet Club?'"

Regal: "I'm particularly interested in that myself. Hopefully, we'll have some answers soon. For now, we need to get back to this packed episode, which will feature a match for the Television Championship in our main event! Let's go to the ring for our first match-up!"

Match One ~ "House of Truth"--Jay Lethal, "Universal Soldier" Gunner, "Born Winner" Mike Madden, & "Southern Savior" Jon Skyler with Truth Martini and the "Hoopla Hotties"--Shotzi Blakkhartt & Barbi Hayden vs. "Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team"--Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle, & Dean Ambrose

This was a crazy eight-man tag. There were spots going off inside the ring and out. Benjamin hit a "Plancha" that took the entire opposing team. That was duplicated by a "Suicide Dive" from Skyler later in the match. The match developed into a melee after that. The end came somewhat controversially, when Dean Ambrose had Jay Lethal set for "Dirty Deeds." Kevin Steen and Claudio Castagnoli, former running buddies of Ambrose's, appeared at ringside and distracted him. Ambrose then turned around into a "Super Kick" from Lethal, followed by a Lethal Injection" for the pin.

Winners = "House of Truth" by pinfall in 10:01

Regal: "It seems that 'The Bullet Club' has a hand in every single match on our programming these days."

Young: "This has become a trend I am sick of seeing."

Steen and Castagnoli laughed from ringside. Ambrose grabbed a microphone.

Dean Ambrose: "So, you boys are trying to get in my head, are you?! Well, that's a one-way trip! Once you get in here (beats on his forehead), you don't come back! They don't call me the 'Lunatic Fringe' for nothing! But, enough is enough! It's time you boys learn a lesson in respect! I challenge one of you punks to a 'No Holds Barred Streetfight' next week!"

Steen and Castagnoli laughed Ambrose off.

Ambrose: "Yeah, I see how this is gonna go! Turn tail and run like the cowards you are! Go tell your new girlfriends, 'The Bullet Club' to take care of your business. Maybe they'll just jump me from behind and save you a tail whipping! That's all you boys are good for anymore...patting each other's backs and kissing your new master's backside!"

Steen yelled from ringside, "You want it?! You got it! 'Streetfight' next week! You and me!"

Ambrose smiled in the ring.

Regal: "Well, it looks like Renee Young's favorite wrestler will be in a featured match next week!"

Young: "That's always a good thing!"

Regal: "We'll be back with more in just a moment."

Regal: "We're back from the break and ready for more action!"

Match Two ~ "Super Luchas"--Myzteziz & Volador, Jr. vs. "Los Ingobernables"--Rush & Marco Corleone with La Mascara

This was a fun lucha match that is a main event in Mexico all day long. All four men hate each other. The war between the two factions has raged on for months. Both teams have scored victories over the others. This match is where it all came to a head. Myzteziz and Volador got the victory after the "Volador Spiral" on Rush.

Winners = "Super Luchas" by pinfall in 8:37

The entire "Los Ingobernables" stable came in and obliterated their outnumbered opponents, standing tall over them to jeers from the crowd. They left the ring as if they had won the war.

Regal: "Hopefully, these men finally can put their issues to bed."

Young: "I hope so, because they have nearly killed one another over the last several months."

Regal: "Fans, Jason Justice defends the Television Championship when we come back!"

Regal: "Fans, we're back and the entire 'Bullet Club' has hijacked the ring!"

Bad Luck Fale: "So, since we've been in this company, we've won the Tag Team Titles and the Mid-Atlantic Title. That leaves only two belts on the men's side to take over. The TV Title is up for grabs next, but they have decided it's best not to give a member of this group a shot. They know our guy would win. NWA: Show Time is running scared and they're gonna start locking us out of further title matches. The writing is on the wall. We're taking over and Jordan Richards can't deal with it!"

NWA: Show Time owner and CEO Jordan Richards came to the ring with a microphone.

Jordan Richards: "What I can't deal with is a liar. Now, I'm an arrogant son-of-a-gun, but I'm the same arrogant son-of-a-gun twenty-four hours a day! I don't mislead people into thinking I am something that I am not. You punks, on the other hand, said that you wanted to come to the NWA, so I signed you as a group. You promised that you would keep it professional and compete alongside the rest of the roster. You told me that you were here to make this company better! The only thing you were interested in was lining your pockets! You lied, straight-faced, and looked me square in the eye when you did it! You shook my hand, which still means something to me, then dug the knife in my back as soon as I turned around! As far as you stealing my championships, that's exactly what you did. You stole the Tag Team Championship, then you stole the Mid-Atlantic Championship! I'll be doggoned if I let you steal any more. So, you're dang right I'm locking you out of future title matches until I get a handle on how to take you out!"

Fale: "You're a coward! And, by the way, us being here makes your company better. But, we have very specific instructions from our financial backer to destroy this company! We're gonna keep poaching your talent, whether you like it or not! And, we'll eventually have all of your belts. There is nothing you can do to stop us!"

Richards: "Oh, there's plenty I can do to stop you! I can terminate your contracts and sue you for breaching them! I can do that today, if I want to. But, I'm not going that route just yet. My guys want the chance to beat you up and run you off themselves! The rest of my roster has become enemies of yours now too. So, I am giving you a reprieve. I'm keeping you around because I want to see you get what's coming to you. I'm also doing some digging to see who this 'financial backer' is. I want to know who is trying to pay my talent to jump ships. The bottom line is this. You snuck in the back door and threw one by me. Well, savor the flavor, because it sure as heck won't happen again! You are the hunted now! I can promise you that!"

Fale: "Bring it on, 'boss!' But, if we keep winning, we deserve to get championship matches! In fact, Justice needs to prove he's a man by defending the belt against one of us!"

Richards: "I'm not going to be strong-armed by the likes of you. Keep dreaming, pal!"

Jason Justice appeared at ringside with Richards.

Jason Justice: "Boss, I know that we don't see eye to eye most of the time, but trust me when I tell you, 'I got this.'"

Richards: "Jason, I'm not worried about your ability to beat any of these guys. You're better than their best man, by far. But, they play the numbers game. That's how they win. It's gang mentality. They've already stolen two titles by doing that. They'll steal yours too. Be smart about this. You're scheduled to defend against Sheamus. Take care of business with him. Don't let these guys goad you into making a huge mistake."

Justice: "Fine, but their time is coming!"

Richards; "Yes. Yes, it is. Boys, you're holding up my show. You're not getting what you want this week, so get to stepping! You can leave ringside on your own or in handcuffs. Your choice!"

Fale: "This isn't over! Not by a longshot!"

Richards: "Looking forward to it!"

Sheamus O'Shaunessy came to the ring for the championship match.

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Television Championship ~ "Ticking Time Bomb" Jason Justice vs. Sheamus O'Shaunessy with Lana

Justice and Sheamus beat each other senseless. Both are hard-hitting superstars, so this match was to both men's liking. Sheamus wailed on Justice with ten forearms to the chest, while Justice punched and kicked Sheamus into oblivion. Sheamus missed a "Brogue Kick" and walked right into a "Psycho Slam" for the pin.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Television Champion = Jason Justice by pinfall in 11:06

After the match, "The Bullet Club" re-appeared and lit into Justice. "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas entered the fray, but the numbers advantage quickly quelled his momentum. "The Richards Collective" hit the ring to even the odds. Brock Lesnar, The Rock, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Adam Cole combined with Judas and Justice to turn the tide of battle to their favor. Justice grabbed a microphone.

Justice: "I don't care what anyone says! I want someone from 'The Bullet Club,' one-on-one, next week!"

Fale could be heard screaming from ringside, "Put up the belt!"

Justice: "I'll defend the title! I'm not scared of you! Bring it on!"

Jordan Richards grabbed a microphone.

Richards: "Hold on just a minute! If we're doing this, we're doing it MY way! First of all, I want to know right now who the challenger will be!"

Idol Stevens stepped up and proclaimed himself the challenger.

Richards: "All right! It's Jason Justice versus Idol Stevens for the TV Championship next week. I'm appointing two referees to the match. One will be in the ring and one will be a second pair of eyes on the outside. Now, to make sure the odds stay even, this is going to be a 'Lumberjack' match. That way, we have some back-up in case you punks try to interfere! If you want it Fale, that's how it's going to be!"

Bad Luck Fale and company nodded their approval.

Richards: "It's set then! Jason, you have my permission to beat this guy to within an inch of his life! You're the 'Ticking Time Bomb.' Explode on him!"

Regal: "What a huge match is set for next week! Jason Justice versus Idol Stevens for the Television Championship in a 'Lumberjack' match with two referees!"

Young: "That and the 'Streetfight' with Dean Ambrose against Kevin Steen makes that a can't miss program!"

Regal: "That's right. So, join us on TNT this Thursday for Show Time Femme Fatales and back here on TBS next Tuesday for a blockbuster episode of the Show Time Power Hour next Tuesday! For Renee Young, I'm William Regal, saying, ta ta for now!"
