"Show Time Power Hour" TV Taping Number 28 (Week 55)

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. Alongside me is hall of famer Michael Hayes. Michael, we took back the Heavyweight Championship last week when CM Punk defeated Kevin Steen!"

Michael Hayes: "That's right, daddy! We have every belt now except the Mid-Atlantic Title. Claudio Castagnoli's gonna lose that one today!"

Regal: "That very well may be the case, as Jordan Richards has mandated a title defense for Claudio against Dean Ambrose! Also on the program, Kurt Angle has some words for Television Champion Ricochet concerning his actions last week after walking out of their match and joining Carmella. That should be an interesting interview. We will see, in our main event, members of 'The Richards Collective' taking on members of 'The Bullet Club' in a big six-man war! For now, let's go to the ring where Scarlett Bordeaux is standing by."

Just then, "No Chance in Hell" blared to a chorus of boos. Out stalked the McMahon family, Commissioner Scott Hall, Referee Summer Rae, and "The Bullet Club."

Vince McMahon: "Hold on just a minute! This show is going no further until Kevin Steen is handed the Show Time Heavyweight Championship back!"

Regal: "What?!"

Hayes: "You gotta be kidding me with this!"

McMahon: "Punk get your tail out here right now with our belt!"

"Cult of Personality" hit to get the crowd on its feet, as CM Punk and AJ Lee came to the ring. Punk was wearing his newly-won championship belt.

CM Punk: "I am VERY interested to see how you're going to pull this one off, Vince! Go ahead, let's see what garbage excuse you can come up with this time."

McMahon: "This lovely young lady right here, Summer Rae, was the senior official for last week's championship match. She was struck by Mr. Steen and knocked unconscious during the course of the match. Mr. Steen has since apologized and all is forgiven. Nevertheless, due to him striking her, he would have been disqualified, which is her official decision. That took place before your bogus pinfall. So, as I said earlier, hand over OUR belt, Punk!"

Punk laughed and shook his head. At that moment, "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva played to bring out CEO Jordan Richards.

Jordan Richards: "Wait just a minute, Vinnie my boy! You see, Summer Rae may have been your pick as the quote unquote 'senior official' for that match. However, I assigned Rod Zapata as a second referee. His name was on the contract as well, which makes his decision final, since it was rendered before Summer  Rae's phantom disqualification. Therefore, the championship stays with CM Punk!"

Kevin Steen: "I knew you'd find some way to screw me! This whole thing is a big conspiracy!"

Punk: "Steen, I can beat you in my sleep! The only conspiracy here is the fact that it takes every one of you putting your pea brains together to come up with a way to steal all of the titles. And yet, we still keep winning them back from you!"

Steen: "Punk, if you're so confident in your ability to beat me, give me my mandatory rematch tonight!"

Punk: "I'll take you on any place, any time!"

Richards: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pump the brakes for a minute. I'm all for a Punk-Steen rematch. However, we're going to have to agree on the terms. Scott, you're the Commissioner around here, what demands do you have?"

Scott Hall: "First of all, as always, Summer Rae is the referee."

Richards: "Fine, but I'll appoint a second official of my choosing."

Hall: "Whatever. But, Summer's decision is the final one in this match, no questions asked."

Richards: "Unless she makes a dubious decision. If she cheats in any way, Steen loses by disqualification."

Punk: "Forget that! I want 'No Disqualification!'"

Richards: "Fine, but, again, if Summer Rae cheats, Steen automatically loses the match."

Hall: "We want no interference from 'The Richards Collective.' All of you are banned from ringside!"

Richards: "Ok, but 'The Bullet Club' is banned from ringside--every member including ones from other promotions! The McMahon family here is banned as well! No Vince. No Stephanie. No Triple H! And Scotty, you're banned as well. This will be a true one-on-one match-up!"

Hall: "Also, 'Guerillas of Destiny' demands their mandatory Tag Team Title rematch tonight against Justice and Judas!"

Richards: "I have no problem with that. But, we'll have two referees in that one, since, I know you'll have Summer pulling duty."

Hall: "Get the champs out here! We want the match now!"

Judas and Justice ran to the ring and began to wail on Tonga and Roa. A huge melee broke out before the program went to commercial. When the program returned, a traditional tag team match had settled in.

Match One ~ NWA: Show Time Tag Team Championship ~ "Priest of Punishment" Mikael Judas & "Ticking Time Bomb" Jason Justice vs. "Guerillas of Destiny"--Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa with Commissioner Scott Hall, the McMahon family, & Yellow Barbie ~ Referees Summer Rae & Justin King

Judas & Justice beat the brakes off their opponents, mauling them from the start. Referee Summer Rae did her normal slow counts whenever Judas or Justice attempted pinfalls. She was continuously admonished by Referee King, but brushed off his attempts to implore to officiate correctly. Ultimately, Rae's penchant for underhandedness paid off. She feigned an injury, which prompted Referee King into the match. King walked right into an errant punch and was knocked square out of the ring. Judas picked Loa up in position for "El Crucifejo." Referee Rae crawled behind Judas' feet, which tripped him and caused Roa to fall on top of him. Summer "recovered" to make a lightning fast three count.

Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Tag Team Champions = "Guerillas of Destiny" by pinfall in 8:42

Judas ran after Referee Rae as Justice blasted both Tonga and Roa.

Regal: "I can't believe it!"

Hayes: "They stole back the tag belts!"

Regal: "Fans, let's take a break."

Regal: "We're back. If you're just joining us, Summer Rae cheated Mikael Judas and Jason justice out of the Tag Team Championship."

Hayes: "What a crock of crap!"

Regal: "Indeed. fans, 'SoCal' Val is standing by in the back with the former champions.

Valerie Wyndham: "I'm here with Mikael Judas and Jason Justice, who just lost the Tag Team Championship."

Jason justice: "Lost?! We didn't lose anything. We were robbed! Highway robbery!"

Mikael Judas: "There will be retribution. It will be a dark day of reckoning for 'The Bullet Club.'"

Wyndham: "William, back to you."

Regal: "Those two are understandably upset."

Hayes: "They're downright pissed off. I wouldn't get anywhere near them."

Regal: "Let's go to the ring for our Mid-Atlantic Championship match."

Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ Claudio Castagnoli with Commissioner Scott Hall, the McMahon family, & Yellow Barbie vs. Dean Ambrose ~ Referees Summer Rae and Drake Wuertz

For once, the referee situation did not come into play in this one, per se. There was no controversy with a fast count or dubious behavior. this time, it was blatant cheating that was shielded from the referee's view. Ambrose went for "Dirty Deeds," which was blocked. Castagnoli kicked him in the gut and executed "The Neutralizer." Ambrose put his foot on the rope at one. Referee legitimately did not see this, it would appear. Commissioner Scott Hall knocked the foot off the ropes at two. Summer counted the three. Referee Wuertz had been held up by Triple H, who turned Wuertz away from the pin attempt and berated him until the three count had been executed.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion  = Claudio Castagnoli by pinfall in 12:14

Regal: "Another travesty, this time perpetrated by the outside interference of Commissioner Scott Hall."

Hayes: "I don't know what the solution is. They have huge numbers and the use them every week."

Regal: "Fans, we'll be back with that six-man tag team match next."

Regal: "Fans, we're back from the break. Here we go with six-man action!"

Match Three ~ "The Richards Collective"--John Cena, "The Viper" Randy Orton, & The Rock with Eve Torres vs. "The Bullet Club"--"Under Boss" Bad Luck Fale, Cody Hall, & "The Man Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville with Commissioner Scott Hall, the McMahon family, & Yellow Barbie ~ Referees Summer Rae and "Red Shoes"

This was a lopsided match. everyone outside the ring attempted to run interference for "The Bullet Club," but were not successful. Hall was the recipient of everyone's finisher. The Rock made the cover after the "People's Elbow." Summer Rae counted as slowly as possible, but Hall was not kicking out. Cena and Orton kept Fale and Neville at bay. Finally, "Red Shoes" hopped into the ring and forced Rae's hand down for the third count.

Winners = "The Richards Collective" by pinfall in 5:01

Regal: "Well, that was cut and dry."

Hayes: "I like that 'Red Shoes.' He made sure Summer Rae made the count!"

Regal: "Yes. I liked that! Fans, for the sake of time, we are clearing the area and going straight to our huge main event, 'No Disqualification' for the Heavyweight Championship!"

Match Four ~ NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Championship ~ No Disqualification ~ CM Punk vs. Kevin Steen ~ everyone else is banned from ringside ~ Referees Summer Rae and Charles Robinson

This was a pro wrestling clinic. it went back and forth the entire match. The action took place inside the ring, in the stands, in the crowd, on the announce table, and everywhere in between. Steen set up for the "package Piledriver," but Punk reversed it into a "GTS" attempt. That was reversed. Steen went for a "GTS" of his won, but Punk blocked that and hit a "Package Piledriver." Punk stood up and motioned to the crowd that it was time to "Go to Sleep." Referee Rae refused to count. Referee Robinson jumped up into the ring and counted. Rae dragged him out of the ring at two and they began to argue. Just then, Mikael Judas and Jason Justice came to the ring. They surrounded Referee Rae and demanded that she get in the ring and count. She cowered and obliged. Referee Rae trepidatiously counted the three.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Heavyweight Champion = CM Punk in 21:29

Referee Rae cried on her knees in the ring as Punk celebrated.

Regal: "Punk did it! He solidified the title win!"

Hayes: "We're still on top of this thing! Thanks for doing the right thing, Mikael Judas and Jason Justice!"

Regal: "Fans, we have to go! Join us next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! For Michael Hayes, I'm William Regal, saying, ta ta for now!"
