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."
Immediately, the arena went dark. On the tron appeared this video:
Immediately, the arena went dark. On the tron appeared this video:
At the conclusion of the video, Kevin Steen's image appeared on the tron. He stated, "You have no idea what you're in for. 'Doomsday' is upon us."
Regal: "Whoa! That was chilling!"
Mauro Ranallo: "Was that a serious video or what?!"
Jim Cornette: "Killer Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Kevin Steen just put everyone on notice. Next week?! Are we going to meet the higher power?!"
Regal: "One can only assume so, Jim. We'd better brace ourselves. Who knows what Kross, Scarlett, and Kevin Steen have in store? Time will tell. Fans, getting back to the program, we have a great card lined up this evening. We saw Brock Lesnar join Shelton Benjamin in what we thought was a one-time reunion of the 'Minnesota Stretching Crew.' Apparently, we were wrong. This seems to be a renewed partnership. Eve Torres had some interesting comments on Twitter this week. She said, and I quote, 'Kurt Angle and I are assembling some blue-chip talent to show NWA: Show Time how wrestling is done.' A six-man tag team match has been signed for tonight. We assume that means Kurt Angle is wrestling? Or, will they unveil a mystery partner? We'll find out shortly! And, in our main event, 'The Four Horsemen' will battle 'Ricochet, Edge, and 'War Machine!' But first, we have a very unique match-up. Pete Dunne of 'British Strong Style' will go one-on-one with Zack Sabre, Jr. of 'Euro Trash' in a 'Lumberjack' match with their stable mates at ringside. Whichever man loses, his unit must disband! This feud finally will reach its zenith!"
Match One ~ "Lumberjack" match ~ Loser's Faction Must Disband ~ "Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne vs. Zack Sabre, Jr.
(results courtesy of 411Mania, but altered slightly to fit NWA: Show Time storylines)
Marty Scurll and Aleister Black attempted to get involved in the match from the get-go. Luckily, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven were out there to watch their friend's back. Tyler gets a little bit worked up and runs into the ring, resulting in the referee ejecting Bate back to the floor. This allowed ZSJ to take over and control the match with his technical excellence. Pete responded by sticking to his strengths. He bit Zack and gouged the face. Dunne’s aggression here was a sight to behold. If he fought the contest as a straight-up technical match, it wouldn’t be realistic for him to hang with Zack. So, he approached it with a range of vicious tactics. Zack was equally aggressive in response, at one point standing and stamping on Dunne’s head. Pete’s insistence at turning this into a fight gave him a narrow advantage as Zack tended to temper his aggression to stay within his submission-based offense. Whenever Zack tried to slip back into a hold, Pete brought him back into a fight. That didn’t always work in his favor though, as ZSJ is recognized as one of the best in the world. At one point, Pete got knocked silly by a slap. He responded with a slap of his own that knocked Sabre down. Dunne impressed with his power. The mixture of technical skill, striking, and strength put him in the driver's seat. It ended when Pete managed to score a "Bitter End" for the pinfall. Sabre was flailing his legs around, but lacked the strength to actually kick out.
Winner = Pete Dunne buy pinfall in 28:11 ("Euro Trash" must disband)
Regal: "That's it! Pete Dunne has done it! He's defeated Zack Sabre, Jr.!"
Ranallo: "And now, 'Euro Trash' is over once and for all! Are you kidding me?!"
Cornette: "What a fight! Bravo to both men for putting on a clinic!"
Regal: "Fans, we need to take a break. Six-man action is up next!"
Regal: "We're back! Eve Torres and Kurt Angle have promised blue-chip talent! We have a six-man tag team match coming up next! Do they have another member or is the Olympic gold medalist donning the tights once again?"
Match Two ~ "The Forgotten Sons" ("Southern Savior" Jon Skyler, "Born Winner" Mike Madden, & "Ticking Time Bomb" Jason Justice with Whiplash) vs. "Minnesota Stretching Crew" ("The Beast" Brock Lesnar & "Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin) and ?? with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle and Eve Torres
Angle came to the ring with the two University of Minnesota products, who had garnet and gold "M" logos on their gear. Kurt was wearing one of his signature singlets. Angle had a microphone.
Kurt Angle: "You know that your 'Olympic Hero' is always ready for action! I stay ready! Oh, it's true! But, I don't have to compete tonight. Because, Eve and I have added a nice compliment to Brock and Shelton."
Mauro Ranallo: "Was that a serious video or what?!"
Jim Cornette: "Killer Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Kevin Steen just put everyone on notice. Next week?! Are we going to meet the higher power?!"

Angle came to the ring with the two University of Minnesota products, who had garnet and gold "M" logos on their gear. Kurt was wearing one of his signature singlets. Angle had a microphone.
Kurt Angle: "You know that your 'Olympic Hero' is always ready for action! I stay ready! Oh, it's true! But, I don't have to compete tonight. Because, Eve and I have added a nice compliment to Brock and Shelton."
Jake Hager came down the entrance and let out a yell. He had on his Bellator style gear, but it had "OU" symbols on it.
Regal: "That's Jake Hager!"
Ranallo: "Momma Mia! The collegiate wrestler turned pro wrestler turned Bellator MMA star is here!"
Cornette: "You wanna talk about a blue-chipper?! This guy was a national champion at Oklahoma!"
The match itself was competitive at first, but the collegiate all-stars eventually took over after Brock and Justice had a classic staredown that ended with the "Ticking Time Bomb" eating a "German Suplex." The match was ended when Hager used Angle's infamous "Ankle Lock" to submit Madden.
Winners = "Minnesota Stretching Crew" & Jake Hager by submission in 7:33
Regal: "That was a physical dissection of a very tough team!"
Ranallo: "The addition of big Jake Hager makes this a dominant force!"
Cornette: "A force to be reckoned with, guys!"
Regal: "We'll take a break and be back with our main event!"
Regal: "We're back! Our main event is going to be a wild and wooly affair! Let's go to the ring!"
Match Three ~ "The Four Horsemen" (Chris Jericho, CM Punk, & "Glorious Outlaws" {"Glorious" Bobby Roode and "Outlaw" James Storm}) with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, AJ Lee, & Maryse Ouellet vs. "The One & Only" Ricochet, "Rated R Superstar" Edge, & "War Machine" ("WarBeard" Hanson & Raymond "Death" Rowe)
Wild and wooly it was, as Commissioner Sting came out and made it a "Texas Tornado" match, meaning all participants could fight at the same time. The fight went all over the arena. There were so many tantalizing spots, it was difficult to keep up. A barricade was destroyed, as was the announce table and commentary booth. The final sequence was controversial, but legal due to the violent stipulation. Ricochet had the World Champion where he wanted him, in the drop zone for his "630 Senton Splash." As Ricochet began to rotate, Flair grabbed Jericho's arm and leg and pulled him out of harm's way. Ricochet splatted on the mat. Flair lightly smacked Jericho's face to rouse him. Chris then got up and hitting Ricochet with the "Codebreaker" as he regained his footing. The rest of the combatants were on the floor. It was over from there.
Winners = "The Four Horsemen" by pinfall in 17:35
Regal: "Ric Flair greatly influenced the finish of that match, in much the 'Horsemen' way! Nothing's changed since the eighties! Fans, we're all out of time for this week. Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour, where we might just meet the higher power Killer Kross and company are promising! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
