UCW Meltdown – June 18 – Wednesday Night Action Zone

As the opening strains of Guns’ N’ Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle blast from the screen, we are shown brief highlights from last week’s edition of UCW Meltdown. Cornette began the show by announcing the main event for No Remorse on PPV, featuring Triple H defending the UCW Championship again against The Great Khali, under Last Man Standing rules. LAX then interrupted these in-ring proceedings, wanting a Tag Team title Re-Match, but Cornette gave them a No.1 Contender match, next week but one of them had to face Khali tonight. Then after a brawl, we cut away. Samoa Joe then defeated Trevor Murdock, before calling out an injured Randy Orton, claiming that whoever was selected to face him at No Remorse, would still be broken, then the Major Brothers scored a victory with Team 3D on commentary at ringside, before attacking Brian & Brett after the match and delivering a 3D and a table slam, asserting their dominance over the No.1 Contenders for the UCW Tag Team Titles. Shawn Michaels and Rhino then met face-to-face ahead of their meeting on PPV, before Kurt Angle interrupts them, inciting an argument between HBK & Rhino, leading to Rhino connecting with a hellacious Gore on HBK, knocking him down. Then finally in the main event, The Great Khali defeated Hernandez from the LAX, forcing him to pass-out in the Vice Grip, before hitting the Khali Bomb on Homicide, then Triple H came out armed with his sledgehammer, but Khali sends him down. Khali then hoists HHH up for the Khali Bomb only for Triple H to rake the eyes, escaping and then reclaiming his hammer, nailing Khali in the head, time after time, then hooking his arms and connecting with the Pedigree. But as HHH began posing, accepting the cheers from the crowd, slowly Khali began to rise, getting to his feet, shocking HHH and the crowd, meaning that more will be required to keep him down, off his feet for a referee count of 10 in the Last Man Standing match at No Remorse.

WATCH OUT FOR THE BOMBFALL! Then as Meltdown goes live once again, following a deafening pyro display and a huge cheer from the crowd in the arena, those cheers instantly turn to jeers when Team 3D walks out through the curtain, joined by Brother Devine who has both Tag Team title belts hanging on his shoulders, briefly pausing half-way down the ramp while inciting more hostility from the crowd, then turning and looking back towards the entrance way. Then with 3D on the ramp, attention now turns towards the main stage and with the crowd jeering once again, Cornette makes his way into view, smiling broadly and wearing a business suit, holding a clip-board in his left hand, Cornette quickly makes his way down the ramp, approaching Team 3D and shaking hands with both Brother Ray & Brother Devon, then finally patting Brother Devine on the back, with the crowd booing even louder, while Brother Ray & Brother Devon enter the ring, as Bubba calls to the attendant, demanding a mic before the brothers climb to the top of separate turnbuckle-posts, making ‘3D’ hand signals as Devine enters the ring and opens the ropes for Cornette, who climbs through them and into the ring. Then with Team 3D still on the corners, making ‘3D’ hand signals and then dropping back down to the canvas with Devine, the crowd simply chants…“3D Sucks…3D Suck…3D Sucks…” louder and louder, but Brother Ray eventually shakes his head, taps the top of his mic to make a noise, saying…“Why don’t all you waste of space morons just shut the freaking hell up, because we’re Team 3D, the Greatest Tag Team in the world & the UCW Champions, so you need to hear what we gotta say! Now, keep it quiet and everything will be fine, while our boss Mr. Cornette has got something important to say about No Remorse...” And when Bubba then hands Cornette the mic, with boos from the crowd growing, Brother Devine hands Devon & Bubba their tag belts, leaving himself empty handed, Cornette stands silent, covering the mic and thanking Bubba, before the GM begins, saying…“And now that I finally have your attention, maybe I can get this over with, because you see after the Major Brothers were gifted their chance at No Remorse, facing Team 3D for the Tag Team Titles…I changed that match into a Tables Match, to even the score. But then last week I was minding my own business when I heard, backstage with JB, prior to their tag team match later that night, which they won, before getting a taste of things to come and going through a table they said something, something very interesting that got me to thinking. You see just over six months ago, UCW Management made the first of much subsequent interference in my business, namely they said that if LAX defeated Team 3D in a Tables Match, for the tag titles, then 3D would be out of the title hunt. Then last week I was reminded of this ruling, when the Major Brothers commented that No Remorse maybe be their last chance, now although I was able to bring Team 3D back into the title hunt where they belong, before becoming Tag Team Champions like they rightfully deserved to be all along, their was a ruling and indeed a president set…therefore I am within my GM rights, here and now to invoke that same ruling upon the Major Brothers at No Remorse, because if the Major Brothers do not win the Tag Team Championships on Sunday, against Team 3D in the Tables Match…then they will be out of the tag team title hunt, that will be their final opportunity at the titles…and that is an official GM ruling. So, for all you ungrateful people in the crowd who do not appreciate me, Meltdown GM, Jim Cornette…or Brother Ray & Brother Devon the UCW Tag Team Champions, Brother Devine the newest member of the 3D Family or the jobs we have all done, then Sunday will be your chance to hope and pray for a miracle or an act of God, because nothing short of that will allow both Brian & Brett Major to be victorious, there is no way Team 3D can lose their very own match…not with the stakes so high, not at No Remorse, not on my watch…So please savour the moment while you can, savour the Major Brothers while you can, because after this Sunday at No Remorse, when they are defeated and broken by Team 3D, they will be tossed aside once again, back down to the ranks from where they came…back to the opening card matches, back down to the curtain jerking opposition and back to the nameless and faceless, also-rans they always were. While Team 3D will continue to build on their legacy, continue to reign supreme and continue to honour me…Jim Cornette, their boss!!!” And then as the crowd begin by jeering this news, they quickly break into loud boos, seeing that Cornette and Team 3D have once again stacked things in their favour, Cornette then begins to laugh, sharing a brief word with Brother Devon and Devine, then handing the mic back to Bubba who now begins to stroll slowly around the ring, saying…“Thank you Brother Cornette, but it’s just too bad that on a night like this, filled with promise and potential that a young tag team have their potential, stunted, cut out in it’s prime and laid to rest. For in only four short days from now, Majors, you will be just like all these people who cheers for you and do not appreciate us, because you’ll become hopeless, underachievers with nothing to show for your lives, for your careers and your dreams, the same dreams that brought you here to UCW, onto the Meltdown brand when you challenged Team 3D all those many months ago, your dreams will become memories overnight and eventually will turn to nightmares, while Team 3D will march on to the next hopeless challengers to our own greatness, leaving you blonde bimbos in our dust. Now, speaking of blonde bimbos, Triple H, tonight as announced on the UCW website you will join forces with the Majors again, or what ever is left of them after last week…to face me, Devon and Brother Devine, for a Six-Man Tag Team Match and just like the Majors suffered by our hands before, the same as your buddy Shawn Michaels will be torn apart by Rhino at No Remorse, tonight Hunter it will be your turn. You will face the same fate courtesy of Team 3D, then Sunday at No Remorse in Last Man Standing for the UCW Championship, against The Great Khali, you will be left for dead…down for the count, a broken man, a former champion and the King of Kings will be dethroned in favour of a new ruler, from the Punjab jungles of India…the man who is not here tonight with good reason, because if Brother Khali touches you, you may not even make it to No Remorse and, you would be in no condition to defend the title and that would not be good business, but Hunter remember this…What the boss wants, the boss gets and so say all of us, therefore tonight you get hurt and this Sunday along with the stinking Major Brats, along with Shawn Michaels and along with Samoa Joe…You will be going down, because you cannot defeat The Great Khali…as evidenced in live action last week, even after you gave it your best effort with the biggest weapons in your entire arsenal, the holy Sledgehammer and the fabled Pedigree, moves that have beaten many men, won you titles and endless honours, still Triple H you could not keep Khali down, therefore this Sunday you cannot prevail…because there will be no quick 3-counts, only the man who keeps his opponent down for a full 10-count will leave victorious, something you cannot do, something that Brother Khali has already done once to you. So now Triple H, this Sunday at No Remorse for the UCW Title, Last Man Standing, you’ll be put outta your misery…because Cornette said so, therefore it shall be done, right Devon?” And then as Bubba hands the mic to Devon, with Cornette smiling, Brother Devine and Bubba then wait as Devon flexes his neck muscles before then, saying…“Oh My Brother…TESTIFY!!!” Then with the crowd breaking out in boos, Cornette turns away, this time holding the ring-ropes wide open for Brother Devine, who steps through and drops to the floor, followed by Cornette and then Team 3D, while the crowd berate all four men with insults and jeers on their exit from the ring.

And with Team 3D, Devine and Cornette all making their way up the ramp together, receiving jeers from the crowd as Bubba & Devon reclaim their Tag Team title belts, raising them high above their heads and smiling, while we join JR & King at ringside, following another intense and controversial start to the night, JR offers to comment, saying…“Well King, once again we have an unexpected announcement to report, however not surprisingly one that favours the powers that be here on Meltdown, namely the fact that should the Major Brothers fail in their challenge this Sunday, should they not become UCW Tag Team Champions, then their dreams will be over, because they will never again receive a shot at the titles, not just while 3D have them, but the way I understand it…they will never receive another shot here on Meltdown, now King please tell me…How on earth is that fair, how can that be a legal ruling?” King says…“Well JR, I guess when you make the rules and run the show like that, nothing else really matters, so for the Major Brothers and even for Triple H as well, I’d say they need to take full advantage of this Sunday at No Remorse, because, should Triple H leave without the title after Last Man Standing with The Great Khali, I doubt that Cornette would allow The Game a Re-Match either, maybe ever again…” Then JR says…“You may be right King, but with this recent power trip from the GM, I sure hope UCW Management see things differently, just for the sake of all our fans, but with that HUGE six-man tag team match tonight and Khali not in the building, maybe The Game will have an opportunity to re-gain some much needed momentum, but elsewhere coming up here tonight…following the recent injury to Randy Orton, Samoa Joe will face a replacement opponent this Sunday at No Remorse on PPV, while tonight Joe himself will come face-to-face with his opponent, chosen by Orton, now King who do you imagine Orton has chosen to battle Samoa Joe this Sunday?” King says…“Gee, I don’t know JR, it could literally be almost anybody at this point, but something to consider is with Cornette doing double-duty over on Infest now, Orton may have chosen someone from Fridays Nights, or somebody outside of UCW, like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage or even the Ultimate Warrior or possibly The Rock!” But JR says…“Well whoever that man is, tonight we will learn his identity ourselves, along with the Samoan Submission Machine, but with No Remorse fast approaching, the match that may very well steal the show is between the War Machine, Rhino and the Showstopper Shawn Michaels, the incomparable Heartbreak Kid himself King, but tonight prior to their hostilities this Sunday, both fan favourites will be teamed-up, in tag team action…how will they co-exist and will either man seek to gain an edge, ahead of their meeting in four days? Whatever happens, you will see it with us, live!” King says…“Right JR, but coming up now LAX looks to get back in the title hunt, that is the Tag Team Title hunt, because since losing the belts back at Immortality, they’ve been slightly hit-or-miss, but with a recent string of victories in 1-on-1 action, tonight sees them with a chance in a No.1 Contenders match vs. London & Kendrick, but LAX better beware since the last team to defeat them in tag team action was, JR?” Then JR says…“Their opponents tonight King, proving to everyone who faces them, that London & Kendrick should never be underestimated…in any such situation, but, will the hunger of LAX to regain their titles be greater than the High Flyers, tonight?”

Tag Team No.1 Contenders Match

Latin-American Exchange vs. London & Kendrick

And with both teams standing in the ring, with each receiving cheers from the crowd, Salinas applauds her team from the outside while the official calls for the bell, signalling the start of this contest as we begin with Homicide and Brian Kendrick, starting with some fast paced action. Each man then shows his stronger points, countering in and out of various holds as they impress the crowd by chain-wrestling, before ending things with a stand-off, giving respect to each other for their moves, while the crowd cheers both men. But when Homicide then reaches out for a tag, bringing Hernandez into the ring, the mood instantly changes, when Kendrick gulps, before stepping forwards to lock up. Hernandez then quickly shoves Kendrick down, prompting the smaller man to tag his partner, bringing Paul London into the match. London then locks up with Hernandez, also being shoved back down to the canvas, before springing up and charging back at Hernandez, ducking a wild clothesline, before hitting the ropes and charging again, then ducking a second wild clothesline, before leaping up and connecting with a standing dropkick, staggering Hernandez, sending him back into the ropes. London then receives applause from the crowd, before Hernandez then tags Homicide back in and these two now begin to lock up. Then with London getting the upper-hand on Homicide in their opening exchange, Hernandez tags back in and as LAX work together to isolate London from his corner, they soon cut him off with their tandem double-team manoeuvre called the Drive-by, before Homicide tags out and Hernandez takes control, using his size and strength, trapping London with a Bear Hug. Then as London begins to fight and break free, Hernandez releases his grip, before scooping London up in a gut-wrench suplex, before London wriggles free and drops to his feet, lunging away for a hot tag. Kendrick then charges into the ring, scoring with a running drop kick on Hernandez, staggering the Big Man before quickly ducking a clothesline and attacking again, rocking him with an enziguri kick to the head. Then with Hernandez staggering, Kendrick runs to the turnbuckle and takes him down with the Sliced Bread move, before then executing a perfect standing Moon Sault, for a very close 2-count. Then, when Kendrick drags Hernandez up the Big Man shoves Kendrick down to the mat, before tagging in Homicide, but Kendrick also tags London and the fresh men enter, with Homicide ducking an initial charge from London, then charging forwards, nailing Kendrick down from the apron to the floor. And as Homicide stands tall, making an LAX hand signal to the crowd, London quickly comes from behind him, rolling Homicide up for a cover, but gaining a very close 2-count of his own. Then, when both men collide in the centre of the ring, after a tandem running clothesline, when Kendrick gets to his feet at ringside, Hernandez enters the ring at high speed, charging and then leaping over the top rope, crashing down on top of Brian Kendrick, taking both men out of action on the outside. Then with Salinas tending to Hernandez, back in the ring with both men slowly to their feet, Homicide is the first to counter, hooking London from behind and attempting the Gringo Killer, but London counters, wriggling free and dropping to his feet then again rolling Homicide up from behind, while this time hooking the tights for the quick 1-2-3, giving his team the victory and, with the crowd shocked along with Salinas, London gets his hand raised by the ref, before quickly heading to the outside to celebrate with his battered partner Kendrick, as Homicide appears shocked in the ring, berating the ref for an apparent fast count, having cost LAX the chance at a Re-Match for the title belts they lost at Immortality, while we cut away with London & Kendrick receiving cheers from the live crowd, having become the NEW number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships.

Backstage we now join JB with No Remorse opponents Shawn Michaels & Rhino, saying…“Ladies and gentlemen congratulations to Paul London & Brian Kendrick, superb achievement to earn an opportunity at the Tag Team Titles in the future, but, with No Remorse only days away, allow me to introduced No Remorse opponents, but tonight they are tag team partners…HBK Shawn Michaels and first of all Rhino, now guys the last time you teamed-up things seemed to really click between you, however immediately following that match in which you were victorious by the way, you were informed that you would be opponents at No Remorse. Shocking our fans, shocking each other too, but then last week things really seemed to become heated, when Kurt Angle interrupted our interview…Shawn you seemed the first to react, however when you pulled up short on Sweet Chin Music, things were calmed down, until that is you turned away and Rhino took advantage, laying you out with a Gore, now Rhino…after all that’s been said and done, do you care to explain your actions?” Rhino says…“JB it’s quite simple, after I gave Shawn the benefit of the doubt once, last week he began to try my patience, I explained that I respect him, but that is all, there can be no trust between opponents because in this business JB, anything goes, however it seemed like Shawn was honest, he understood, but when I turned by back, there he was…same as always, Shawn Michaels looking to stab someone in the back, but I caught him in the act. Then when I saw the same chance to gain an advantage, your damn right I took it…just like you and I don’t owe you an explanation Shawn!” Then HBK says…“Hold on a second, who said I want an apology, understand this, nobody knows about mind games better than the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, lets get that straight. Now I don’t blame you for what happened, or for what you did, because as you’ve said I would have done the exact same thing given the chance. But, what I do take issue with is you didn’t stick around after the show to explain things, then all week when I’ve been calling your house, you never pick up, I’ve been cut off, I get the machine, nobodies home…So now Rhino, now we are finally able to talk, like I said I don’t blame you for last week, but since we both have common enemies, since Angle and Cornette want us to tear each other apart…I have a proposal for you, tonight we work as a team…because they expect us to self-destruct, but we won’t, then Sunday at No Remorse we give these people one hell of a competitive match, then when all is said and done, with a winner and a loser…we shake hands like men, then we join forces to lead the fight against Cornette and his gang of thugs & bullies, so since we gotta work together tonight…How about we shake hands right now, ok?” Then with JB appearing tense, stood between both men, Michaels extends his hand, offering Rhino the chance to shake it, but with the War Machine appearing hesitant, saying…“You know Shawn, I don’t know whether I can trust you out there tonight, let alone way back here, so how do I know you won’t shake my hand here and now, then just stab me in the back when we get out there…what makes this any different?” HBK says…“Well I guess you’re just gonna have to take me at my word, aren’t you?” Rhino says…“How about you prove to me that you’ve got my back in the match first, then maybe I’ll shake your hand afterwards and I’ll consider your big idea, partner?” Then when Rhino turns away and leaves to go to the ring, Michaels retracts his hand, saying…“What is with that guy? Is it me, JB, I mean am I in the wrong about this…” And with JB shrugging his shoulders and offering little reply, Michaels slightly sighs, before turning away and heading off towards the ring to compete while we cut away.

We are then shown a promotional vignette beginning with a series of armed robberies, then when two young black men are arrested for the crimes, taken away in handcuffs, bundled into a police car and taken to the station where they have mug shots taken, the men look familiar, with the smaller of them wearing a baseball cap & gold teeth, while the other is much taller and stronger. They are then taken to a witness line-up, where they are not identified to the amazement of the police officer standing close by, while the two men smile and high-5 themselves before promptly leaving the studio, then when they leave the police station they are about to walk away down the street, only to catch sight of an empty car parked outside. The big man then keeps look-out, while the smaller man picks the lock, before breaking in and hot-wiring the vehicle, while they both jump in. The car then speeds into the distance as the owner returns, shaking his fists and kicking up some dirt in his frustration as the car disappears, heading into the distance as the following voice-over begins, while the picture freezes, saying…“Six months ago two men promptly vanished from the UCW Action Zone, known to the world as Shad Gaspard and JTG, they are both considered dangerous, while today they are rumoured to survive as soldiers of fortune, preying on the weak, living on their wits and the fruit of the land, lying low on the run from the authorities, hustling to stay free and out of jail. But when a recent attempt to imprison them failed, now they are free to go and ready to return…If you have a safe no one else can crack, if there are valuables to be found…and if the police are nowhere in sight, then maybe, just maybe, you may be hearing from Cryme Tyme, coming straight outta Brooklyn!” And then as the picture on screen begins to move again, with the car speeding away, the footage gradually now fades to black with an on-screen caption scrolling across, reading…“Shad Gaspard…JTG…Cryme Tyme…Returning to Meltdown…Soon…”

Tag Team Match

Rhino & Shawn Michaels vs. Worlds Greatest Tag Team

With Rhino the first man who enters charging down the ramp to a rapturous welcome, he acknowledges the cheers from the live crowd, before being cut-off by Michaels, making his way down the ramp, playing to the crowd and striking his famous pose, before entering the ring and sharing a brief, tense stand off with his tag team partner, before the pair are interrupted by the entrance of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, coming down the ramp to jeers from the crowd, as Rhino steps out onto the apron, while Hass is chosen to begin for their opponents, with Benjamin stood on the apron. And with the preliminaries complete, both men now back away to their own corners, the crowd begin chanting…“HBK…HBK…HBK!” Angering Haas as the bell rings, before both men step forward into a firm collar-and-elbow tie-up to get things started, as Charlie Haas aggressively shoves Michaels back on his heels, staggering HBK. Michaels though simply re-groups, brushing his long hair out of his eyes and face, before both men step forward again, locking-up once more and after a brief struggle, again Charlie Haas shoves Michaels back, this time sending him down to the canvas, but when HBK springs to his feet and charges forwards with intense aggression, Charlie Haas decks him with a solid stiff-arm clothesline. Then as Haas stands, pumping his arms to show his muscles, while Shelton does the same on the apron, Michaels begins to clear his head before Charlie Haas grabs a handful of HBK hair, dragging him to his feet only for Michaels to counter with an instinctive inside cradle, while the ref counts, only for Haas to kick out instantly, before springing to his feet, then turning directly into a stinging knife-edge-chop from HBK, as the crowd cheer, while Haas cowers away to the ropes in a rage, fuming that he was out-manoeuvred, as Michaels looks out into the crowd with a smile, before stepping to the corner and, when Haas tags in Benjamin, Michaels also tags the War Machine into the action. And as Shelton steps towards Rhino, he then steps back and decides to re-think things, while Haas yells abuse at Rhino for stalling. But as Rhino then gets slightly impatient, Shelton steps forward and the pair lock-up, before Rhino out-manoeuvres Shelton, applying a standing side-headlock, as Benjamin quickly attempts to shove him off, however Rhino maintains his grip and, as Shelton forces him back into the ropes, Rhino continues to keep the hold applied. Then as Shelton connects with several rapid fire elbows to the gut of the War Machine, loosening his grip, Shelton breaks free, hitting the ropes and charging towards Rhino, who stands firm, but neither goes down. Benjamin then takes a step back, faking a tag to Haas, before then hitting the ropes, then ducking under a wild swing from Rhino, before then hitting the far ropes and, when Rhino turns back around, Shelton launches into a stiff running-shoulder-block, but as the War Machine again stands firm, Shelton’s momentum works against him, colliding with the powerful Rhino and bouncing off his solid frame, down to the mat, while the crowd cheers and Michaels applauds. Then, when Shelton regains a footing, he charges and Rhino takes him down with a hard clothesline, followed by another before connecting with a solid shoulder block, grounding Shelton for a close near-fall. Rhino then drags Shelton to his feet maintaining control with a standing wristlock, before tagging in his partner Michaels, who steps through the ropes and connects, taking advantage of Shelton being trapped in the wristlock, stinging him with a chop. Then when Rhino releases the hold and steps out onto the apron, HBK takes over, winding Shelton with a kick to the mid-section, then backing him into the near ropes, attempting to send Shelton into the far ropes. But somehow Shelton is able to counter, gaining a leverage advantage and reversing Michaels and sending him across the ring, but HBK hits the ropes and then coming back with his spectacular Flying Fore-arm, connecting and taking Shelton down and with both men now lying on the ring canvas, suddenly Michaels nips up to a huge cheer from the live crowd and as Shelton stands, Michaels connects with an atomic drop, followed by a succession of clothesline, before planting Shelton with a huge Power Slam, then as the crowd begins to cheer, Michaels steps through the ropes and heads to the top of the far turnbuckle post, looking to drop his world famous elbow on Shelton, but with HBK perched on top, suddenly Charlie Haas shakes the top rope, causing Michaels to over-balance himself, falling down and straddling the top rope and, allowing Shelton some time to recover, with HBK now crotched on the turnbuckle-post. And with the crowd jeering Haas, Shelton now gets to his feet and slowly walks towards the corner where Michaels is, before stepping up to the second rope and grabbing HBK in a tight front-face-lock, hooking the tights with his left hand and with HBK slow moving from the low blow, Shelton connects with a spectacular Super-plex from the top rope down to the canvas, seeing Michaels crash down to the mat on his back, leaving both men down this time. Benjamin then clears his head from the fall backwards, before regaining his focus, then making the cover but HBK kicks out. And with HBK just barely kicking out, Shelton tags in his partner Haas who quickly enters and aggressively drags HBK up, then lifts Michaels off his feet and takes him down with a high, back-suplex and then, hooking his leg for a near-fall and a 2-count. But Charlie Haas drags Shawn back up, delivering a firm right hand before tagging Shelton and lifting HBK up off his feet, dropping him flat on his back to the canvas, while Shelton enters and hits the ropes, dropping a leg on HBK, showing the experience and teamwork of Haas & Benjamin. And, with Shawn down and now Rhino helpless to reach his partner from the apron, Charlie Haas begins to make his size, strength and power tell the story as he starts to wear down HBK, as Haas & Benjamin combine to isolate him from Rhino his partner, using Shelton’s speed and agility and the technical skills of Haas to their advantage, by utilising swift tags and mild double-team offence to maintain control of the match. Then, with Shelton backing Shawn into his teams corner, Haas roughly chokes him, while Shelton delivers a vicious chop to the chest, followed by an uppercut to the gut, while Rhino begins to clap his hands on the apron trying to bring the live crowd alive, while Shelton now holds HBK as Charlie Haas tags in and hits the far ropes before coming back with a hard clothesline, nailing HBK in the corner, slumping him down, then dragging Michaels into the centre of the ring, making a cover only for a 1-count, then Shelton steps outside as Haas maintains control, locking a stiff sleeper on HBK, who now begins to fade, while the crowd begins to rally behind Michaels’ struggle, led by Rhino out on the apron, with HBK trying hard to fight out of Haas’ hold, gradually beginning to wilt and weaken. But with the crowd cheering hard for him, Shawn digs deep and deeper, eventually battling back to his feet, staggering Haas with several hard elbows, followed by a barrage of rapid-fire rights and left hands, before finally breaking free and turning and hitting the far ropes to build momentum, but as a fired-up Michaels connects with the ropes at high speed looking to attack, Haas leaps to deliver a high standing dropkick, only for HBK to grab the top rope, halting his momentum and seeing Haas crash down to the canvas, flat on his back. HBK then quickly takes advantage and drops down onto Haas for a quick cover, hooking the leg for a jack-knife pin-fall attempt, with the crowd holding their breath, before Haas kicks out and when both men spring back to their feet Haas looks to clatter HBK with a stiff clothesline, as HBK quickly ducks and dives for the corner, making the miraculous hot tag to partner Rhino on the apron, electrifying the crowd, while Charlie Haas reacts quick and dives to tag in Benjamin who enters the ring, charging forwards to confront Rhino who explodes into action, being first to strike, taking Shelton down with a succession of stiff, solid, clothesline, one after another, before Shelton springs up and the War Machine clamps his arms around his waist, taking Shelton down with his patented Belly-to-Belly throw, planting him on the mat, then making the cover only for Shelton to kick out. Rhino then drags him back up, placing him in position and calling for a Rhino Driver, tucking Shelton’s head down, only for Charlie Haas to come charging into the ring, clatter Rhino with a clothesline, sucker-punching a focused War Machine, catching him off-guard, taking him down, then with the official leading Haas back out onto the apron, Rhino now recovers, slowly dragging Shelton back to his feet. But with Haas now distracting the referee, the official fails to see Shelton lash out, kicking Rhino in the groin with a low blow, buckling him at the knees, drawing jeers from the crowd, with HBK watching on, yelling to get the referee’s attention. But when the official does re-join the action, with Rhino on his knees, Shelton steadies himself before turning and hitting the ropes, charging back at Rhino only for the War Machine to spring to his feet and counter, taking Shelton down with a brutal Spine Buster and planting him on the canvas, reacting on pure instinct before rolling over onto his back, unable to make the cover, still feeling the pain of the low blow and leaving both men down on the mat again. Rhino though slowly makes it to his corner, tagging HBK, as Charlie Haas looks on, with Shelton down and as the referee keeps a close eye on Haas out on the apron, Michaels again climbs the turnbuckle and now, with Rhino standing on the apron, HBK comes flying off the top rope with his spectacular high-flying elbow drop, landing firmly on Shelton before getting to his feet and firing-up for the live crowd, with the arena coming alive for him, HBK now stands in a neutral corner of the ring, stomping his foot time and again as Benjamin slowly begins to clear his head, regaining his unsteady footing, before slowly turning around and stepping forward, Michaels launches across the ring, into some Sweet Chin Music, but Shelton ducks, causing Michaels to over balance slightly before lunging around and being caught, when Shelton delivers a stiff kick to the mid-section, before clubbing Michaels down, then hoisting him up and off his feet for a patented finishing move the T-Bone Suplex, but as Michaels desperately rakes the eyes, escaping from Benjamin’s tight grasp, dropping to the canvas and landing on his feet behind Shelton again, HBK staggers, before lunging towards his corner and tagging Rhino, who charges back into action, meeting the briefly un-sighted Shelton with a succession of aggressive clotheslines, then hoisting him up and off his feet with a big body slam, then slamming him down, planted in the centre of the ring. Then as the crowd goes wild for the War Machine, Haas begins to panic on the apron when Rhino now crouches down in the corner, calling for the Gore with his signature motion, begging for Shelton to get to his feet, then as Shelton finally staggers to his feet and stumbles into his path, Rhino charges, connecting with a hellacious, brutal Gore almost cutting Shelton in half in the process, but while the entire live crowd erupts with a HUGE ovation following this move, Charlie Haas now quickly enters into the ring, charging forwards to attack Rhino, however HBK now gets back to his feet, to prevent Haas from assaulting Rhino, Michaels lunges, connecting with the jaw of Haas and dropping him to the canvas, following Sweet Chin Music. Then HBK collapses back to the canvas once more, before Rhino now drops down to make the cover and the ref makes the 1-2-3 count! And as Rhino gets to his feet and raises his arms into the air with extreme intensity, the crowd greets the War Machine with tremendous applause following this victory, as HBK also gets to his feet using the ropes to support his physically drained frame, before both men then have their hands raised above in victory by the match official, receiving adulation from live the crowd, having defeated their opponents here tonight, but with the Showstopper and the War Machine sharing a brief and intense glance, gradually the official releases their arms and backs away, leaving both men alone, while the crowd falls silent. And with their meeting at No Remorse only days away, Michaels and Rhino turn to face each other with tension and confusion in the air, while neither man seems completely sure of his next move. They begin to step away, slowly circling the ring before pausing and listening as the crowd begins to chant, firstly for Michaels, then gradually for Rhino, then slightly more again for HBK, while both men stand still. Then after a few tense moments, Rhino makes a move, causing HBK to flinch briefly and the crowd to gasp, before Rhino raises an arm, slowly extending his hand and offering HBK a handshake, to break the tension and, after a seemingly endless pause, the Showstopper locks eyes with the War Machine, then looking down at the extended hand, then turning his head to observe the crowd, before looking back at Rhino and then suddenly lashing out with a petulant slap, stinging the face of the War Machine and totally shocking the stunned live crowd, who gasp with disbelief, while Michaels begins briefly to smile smugly to himself, until Rhino seethes with aggression and quickly lunges forward, swinging for HBK, violently trying to get his hands on Michaels, but Shawn is just a fraction quicker, ducking a wild right hand from the vicious War Machine, then another wild swing, then turning away before Rhino gives chase as HBK rolls underneath the bottom rope, escaping while Rhino lashes out with frustration, violently kicking the bottom rope, while Michaels now backs his way up the entrance ramp towards the main stage, Rhino takes a step backwards in the ring as the crowd jeer the actions of Michaels, who now remains back on the stage locking eyes with Rhino and smiling to himself, Rhino shakes his head towards HBK, motioning with his hand to break him in half, while on the ramp Michaels pauses and returns Rhino’s look with a Crotch Chop, drawing several cheers from the crowd while the War Machine raises his arms above, yelling…“Who’s the man!!!” And as Rhino now climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, while Michaels slowly lowers himself to the floor before performing his famous pose, the crowds support seems to be split between the War Machine and the Showstopper.

Backstage we now join Crystal Louthan, here with Team 3D & Brother Devine, saying…“Bubba, Devon, Brother Devine, coming-up later tonight in our main event, you’ll be facing Triple H and the Major Brothers, but after the events of last week, when you put Brian Major through a table…assuming he is in condition to compete, what can we expect from you tonight, are Brett Major and Triple H on your hit list?” Brother Ray says…“What the hell business of yours is our hit list, matter of fact, Team 3D ain’t got a hit list, that’s not a bad idea…Devon, next time make a hit list, now Sunday night will take care of itself, Team 3D in a Tables Match, enough said, we win, they lose, bottom line. But tonight Triple H is our main focus, our target, because our boss wants the belt off him and on someone else, The Great Khali, now, with Khali not here tonight that means we got a job to do, to soften up The Game, making sure he don’t have anything left to fight with come Sunday at No Remorse, we ain’t taking any risks this time, we can’t allow the crowd to play their parts, because last time they gave Triple H the strength to fight on, but not this time, no, even these fans will not be able to cheer loud enough to help the King of Kings now, not after we get done with him tonight…then Khali will only have to pick what’s left, score the ten count and claim the UCW Championship Belt, end of story, Blondie, right Devon?” And as Crystal then holds the mic up for Brother Devon to comment, saying…“Oh My Brother…TESTIFY!!!” as Devon flexes his muscles to the screen, while Brother Ray begins squaring-up into the screen, intimidating us as we cut away.

JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU! And as we re-join JR & King live in the Action Zone, proceedings are interrupted with the familiar entrance music of Samoa Joe sounding, before the Samoan Submission Machine himself now gradually comes out into view, wearing his wrestling-gear and an official ‘Joe’s Gonna Kill You’ Meltdown T-shirt, while the crowd chant…“JOE…JOE…JOE…JOE!” as Joe pauses on the main stage, before slowly making his way down the ramp with an intense expression on his face. And with the sold-out live crowd chanting his name, Samoa Joe now enters the ring, smiling briefly while the cheers and chants from the live crowd gradually increase, before eventually claiming a mic and assuming an aggressive stance inside the ring, while the live crowd can sense the tension as Joe looks with a face etched in disdain, saying…“Right now I think everybody knows why I am out here, inside this ring, because two weeks ago that little bitch Randy Orton broke his collar-bone. And now, since that is my fault, I must face a replacement opponent chosen by Randy himself, this Sunday night at No Remorse…Live on PPV, but the only problem now is this, because you see I have no intensions of allowing myself to become another victim, there will be no surprises, there will be no forgiving and there will be No Remorse, now this Sunday whoever I may face…To me that man is the embodiment of rage, anger and contempt…the contempt I feel for Randy Orton and for Jim Cornette, because the way people have been treated around here is simply put, an utter disgrace, therefore the man I face may go by another name, but to me he will be Randy Orton, I’ll treat him like Randy Orton, I will see him as I see Randy Orton and Sunday night, June 22, live on PPV…I will show No Remorse and…Inevitably, He Will Be Broken, but right now time like my patience, is short, so I demand that you show your face…”

But when Joe fixes his eyes on the main stage, the arena lights gradually begin to dim, signalling the arrival of Kurt Angle as attention now turns towards the main entrance, we hear the beginnings of some really intense music playing over the sound system, before a dark silhouetted figure rises on a platform from below the Action Zone stage, with a hood covering his head, then as the crowd begins to jeer as he steps forwards, wearing white wrestling boots & a blue wrestling-suit emblazoned by yellow flames, Kurt now begins to advance down the ramp, with an intense look of rage on his face, pausing after he reaches the foot of the ramp, handing his ring-jacket to the attendant, flexing his neck muscles and maintaining an intense gaze on the Submission Machine, while Samoa Joe looks on with disdain, as Kurt gets closer and closer to the ring and, while remembering the violent history between these men the crowd feels the tension, when Angle enters the ring and steps towards Samoa Joe, instantly confronting him, then with both men standing face-to-face and the crowd becoming louder and louder, Angle is the first man to back away, stepping to ropes while Joe doesn’t make a move, with Angle soon calling for a mic and, as the jeers for him subside he begins to speak, saying…“Well now Joe, here we are again, you & me, 1-on-1 on PPV at No Remorse, so it seems the more things change around here, the more they stay the same. But, there is one difference…one constant, but I don’t expect you to appreciate the irony, so I’ll help you out. You see, you say that you are gonna treat me like Randy Orton, beat me like I am Randy Orton and you will break me…But how is that even possible, because earlier today when Mr. Cornette informed me I was your chosen opponent, that Randy Orton had hand-picked me to face you in his place…I was not surprised, since nobody in UCW has beaten you more than me, Kurt Angle. You see now Joe, I’ve beaten you in a pure wrestling match, I’ve beaten you in a Submission Match, I’ve pinned you and I’ve made you tap out…while I was becoming UCW Champion, you were struggling at the bottom of the barrel…and the one time you did beat me, that was in a Triple Threat Match that you didn’t even win, so it doesn’t even count! You see Joe, basically Randy Orton chose me because when I face you Samoa Joe, it’s a sure thing…Just like death and taxes…the Yankees always beat the Red Socks, the Mail Man always delivers and in UCW Kurt Angle will always beat Samoa Joe, now this Sunday will be no different Joe…And That’s Real…That’s DAMN Real!!!” And as the crowd then responds to Joe’s words with the famous chant echoing aloud... “Joe’s Gonna Kill You…Joe’s Gonna Kill You…Joe’s Gonna Kill You…” Joe smiles as he stares intently into the eyes of Angle, before both men then drop their mic’s and, Kurt Angle steps forward to confront the Samoan Submission Machine again and, now standing toe-to-toe with Samoa Joe as the crowd noise soon rises to a fever pitch, with neither man backing off or averting his gaze until suddenly and without warning Angle takes a slight step away, seemingly to back off, before stepping forwards again, lashing out with a wild right hand, only for Joe to raise his arm to block the attempt, before coming back and connecting with a series of right hand to the head of Angle, backing him into the ropes. Then as Joe quickly attempts to send Kurt across the ring, Angle reverses the effort and sends the Samoan away and into the far ropes himself, before advancing to follow-up and looking to move in and follow-up with a backdrop, only for Joe to counter with a stiff kick to the gut and charge back at Kurt with force. Angle though quickly counters, clamping his arms around Joe’s waist and sending him flying half-way across the ring with an overhead release belly-to-belly suplex. Angle then gets to his feet, with Joe arching his back in pain, and yells…“YEAH!” But as Kurt raises his arms aloft and turns his back on Joe, he fails to see as the Samoan Submission Machine gets back to his feet and, with anger and rage etched on his face, he clubs Angle firmly in the back from behind, buckling him at the knees, before dragging Kurt his feet and sending him across the ring into the far ropes and taking him down with his patented snap slam. As Joe then gets to his feet he runs his thumb across his throat and, with Angle grounded on the mat, Joe then attempts to apply the Kokina Clutch, but as he does, Kurt is able to turn and counter this into a single-leg takedown, before quickly grabbing Joe’s left foot to apply the Ankle Lock, but just a quick, Joe is able to adjust and before Kurt can turn him over onto his back, Joe kicks Angle’s leg out from under him and pulls him down into the Kokina Clutch, yet as Joe brings his legs up to grape-vine the body, Kurt quickly grabs Joe’s foot, wrenching it around and right back into the Ankle Lock, as the live crowd goes wild. Angle then attempts to turn Joe over, onto his back, to really cinch in the submission, but at that moment Joe lashes out with full-force and kicks Kurt off of him and away, propelling the Olympic Gold Medallist backwards and out of the ring, to huge cheers. Then as Angle gets to his feet in disbelief on the outside, Joe slowly stands in the ring, shaking his head, making his famous hand signal with the crowd chanting his name, while Angle slaps the floor at ringside, claiming that he will never tap out to Joe, while JR says…“It’s Angle vs. Joe, one more time this Sunday…but this time King, there will be No Remorse…and my God, these two might just tear each other apart!”

Backstage again ahead of our main event, we join JB with Triple H and the Majors, saying…“Ok wrestling fans, our six-man tag team main event is only moments away, but coming-up this Sunday live on PPV is UCW No Remorse and the Meltdown card, headlined by Triple H defending the UCW Championship against The Great Khali, under Last Man Standing rules…plus as we just saw Samoa Joe will face Kurt Angle, while Shawn Michaels & Rhino will look to be the better man when they meet 1-on-1, plus in perhaps their last chance to win the Tag Team Titles, the Major Brothers, battle Team 3D for the gold in a Tables Match. But please now welcome my guests, the battered and bruised No.1 Contenders for those tag team titles, the Major Brothers, joined by the UCW Champion himself, The Game and the King of Kings, Triple H!” Then when the camera focuses on these three men, we clearly see the scars of battle, with Brian Major sporting heavily taped-up ribs following his table slam last week, while Brett Major has cuts and scrapes all over his chest and back, then Triple H, standing between both men with the title belt around his waist, water bottle in hand, hair dripping wet and eyes burning with unparalleled intensity, The Game begins, saying…“Brother Ray, Devon, listen to me and listen good, whatever happens now, whatever happens tonight doesn’t matter, you can do Cornette’s bidding all you want, you can kiss his ass all you want. You can bend the rules in your favour all you want, but some things never change. You will never break me, you will never take me out, you will NEVER end this game…And mark my words, you will never take this belt, from me without a fight. You think I’m gonna let you win, you think it’s that easy, you think I’m gonna show up on Sunday unable to compete, trembling with fear, afraid of Khali…You think I’m just gonna hand over this belt back to Cornette, simple as that? You’re wrong. I didn’t go through the biggest names on Meltdown, the best in the world for nothing…I didn’t go to Immortality for nothing and Bubba, to keep this belt I would walk through the fires of hell and look the devil in his eyes, and tell him to kiss my ass, before I would surrender this belt…So for Khali to win it, he’ll have to pry the title away from my blood stained, lifeless hands this Sunday, because while there is still a breath left in me…I will fight until the end of all things, until I have nothing left and until all is lost and you’ll have to kill me…to beat me!!!” And following an intense gaze deep into the camera lens; HHH turns his back away, marching down the hallway and the Majors follow, while JB nods with confidence, before we gradually cut away and the cameras return to the arena for our main event.   

Six-Man Tag Team Main Event

Triple H & Major Brothers vs. Team 3D & Brother Devine

TIME 2 PLAY THE GAME! And with Team 3D & Devine waiting down in the ring, the Major Brothers make their way down the entrance ramp to the ringside arena, while the arena is bathed in a dark green glow, signalling the entrance of Triple H, coming down the ramp with the UCW Championship Belt proudly around his waist, The Game greets his Major partners at ringside before they quickly enter the ring, leaving HHH to climb onto the apron and spit his water out into the front row crowd, then when The Game steps through the ropes he is soon confronted by Brother Ray, before the referee intervene to keep both men apart. Then with the match set to begin, HHH takes charge and insists on starting the mat for his team, then pointing to Bubba, demanding to face him and with Devon & Devine having to keep Bubba held back, soon the bell rings and with Bubba and Triple H squaring-off in the centre of the ring, both men engage in a traditional collar-and-elbow tie-up. And in an intense struggle, finally Triple H begins to force Bubba backwards, then offering one almighty shove, sending Brother Ray staggering back on his heels. Then as the crowd cheer this move, Triple H roars with aggression and performs his famous pose, angering Bubba and, with the crowd clearly in support of the King of Kings, Bubba slowly shakes his head, before lashing out with an aggressive right hand, aiming to connect with a cheap-shot, only for HHH to block the attempt, before connecting with a hard right of his own, followed by several more shots, backing Brother Ray away and into the near ropes, attempting an arm-whip but being reversed by Bubba, sending Triple H into the ropes, then when The Game comes careening back off the ropes, with Bubba standing firm, HHH clatters straight into Brother Ray at full speed, sending him down to the canvas. The Game then drags Bubba back up, hoisting him into the air and holding him up, before dropping him to the canvas once again with a high, delayed-vertical suplex. HHH then stands to take a step back, executing a popular Crotch Chop for all to see, before stepping forwards and dropping a knee firmly onto the point of the skull. Although Bubba instantly kicks out following a brief 1-count, frustrating Triple H, who then quickly connects with several short, sharp vicious right hands to the head, then makes another cover only for Brother Ray to kick out again, angering Triple H, who now drags Bubba to his feet and shoving him back forcefully into the corner, before connecting with several stiff kicks to the mid-section, winding Brother Ray, before HHH sends him careening across the ring and into the opposite turnbuckle, then when Bubba staggers out, Triple H lifts Bubba off his feet for a Back Breaker, only for the sneaky veteran to quickly rake the eyes of HHH, briefly blinding him, allowing Bubba to escape as both men now drop to the canvas. As things continue, eventually HHH recovers just as Bubba crawls to his corner and both men tag out, bring Devon and Brian Major into the action, with Brian the first man to re-act, ducking a wild swing from Devon and hitting the far ropes then, charging forward, meeting Devon on the turn and taking him down with a high running dropkick, scoring a brief 1-count, before both men stand and Brian takes Devon down again, dragging him down into a quick inside cradle but again Devon instantly kicks out, then when both men spring up again when Devon swings an aggressive clothesline, Brian Major ducks and looks to hit the far ropes again, on Team 3D’s side of the ring, but when he does Brother Ray catches him with a sneaky knee to the lower back, arching his back and staggering Brian forwards, into the arms of the waiting Devon, who quickly takes him down with a well-timed DDT. Devon then makes the cover, before Brian kicks out and after an brief period of dominance from Brother Devon, Brian manages to break free and lunge to the corner looking for a tag to his brother, when Devon grabs his foot, seemingly preventing the tag, but Brian now counters, connecting with a perfect enziguri, staggering Devon and allowing Brian to dive, making it for the corner and tagging in his brother Brett, who quickly makes a cover, only for Devon to kick out. Then when Brett slowly drags Devon back onto his feet, Devon lashes out with a thumb to the eyes, before quickly hitting the far side ropes, then taking Brett Major down from behind with a Chop Block, then tagging Bubba, who enters and quickly begins to take advantage of Brett Major’s weakened state, stomping down on him and then with Team 3D having the advantage in the match, they combine with Brother Devine to maintain frequent tags between all three men, scoring several near falls while Triple H & Brian Major can only look from the apron, with Team 3D dominating. Then with Bubba tagging Brother Devon into the match, with Brett Major down, Bubba stands over him and holds his legs apart on the canvas, while Devon scales the turnbuckle and comes diving off the top rope with a flying head butt, then making the cover only for Brett to kick out. Then as Devon stands, quickly stamping down on Brett he retain the advantage, with Bubba on the apron, Devon makes the tag to Brother Devine, who also quickly climbs up the turnbuckle, then with Brett down in the centre of the ring, Devine comes flying off the top rope, only for Brett Major to move at the last moment, seeing Devine crash to the canvas, with the crowd cheering and HHH & Brian Major now reaching out for the hot tag, with Team 3D standing in shock. Then eventually Brett makes it over to his corner, tagging in Triple H while Brother Devine staggers to his feet and stumbles around, when HHH comes charging into the ring, connecting with an aggressive clothesline, sending Devine down. Then as Brother Devon now enters the ring as an illegal man, Triple H also takes him down with another clothesline, before Bubba quickly enters, but suffering the same fate, sent down by a Triple H clothesline. But with Devon up, he soon clubs HHH from behind, before backing him up against the far ring-ropes, attempting an arm-whip only for The Game to reverse the manoeuvre from Devon, sending him across the ring into the far ropes, then missing with a wild clothesline, before then turning to connecting with a patented Harley Race-style High Knee, taking Devon down. But following this, Brother Ray gets to his feet to attack HHH, clubbing him in the back and then sending The Game away and into the far ropes, then bending down for a backdrop, only for Triple H to counter with his Face Buster, staggering Brother Ray backwards across the ring, then charging with a clothesline, sending him down again. Then as the Majors briefly cheer The Game from the apron, HHH turns to find Brother Devine charging towards him, but with time to counter, Triple H hoisting Devine up and off his feet, then planting him down to the canvas, following the patented Double-A Spine Buster. And as the arena crowd comes alive, The Game gets to his feet and begins firing-up, roaring out loud with total aggression, stalking Devine as the smaller 3D member slowly, gradually gets back to his feet, while HHH now connects with a solid boot to the gut, then hooking Devine’s arms, looking for the Pedigree only for Bubba & Devon to come up from behind together, clubbing HHH in the back and buckling him down, arching his back in pure pain, allowing Devine to escape his grasp, while 3D begins a 2-on-1 beating of Triple H. Then with the referee pleading with Brother Ray & Devon to get back on the apron, suddenly the Major Brothers come charging into the ring to even the odds for HHH, engaging in a back-and-forth brawl with Team 3D, with The Game down on the mat, while eventually Team 3D combine with their superior strength over the Majors, sending both Brett & Brian over the top rope and down to the ringside floor in a heap, then making ‘3D’ hand signals and drawing heavy boos from the live crowd again, only for Team 3D to turn attention back to the ring, thinking Triple H is still down, but when they do suddenly HHH bursts back onto his feet and explodes with rage, sending both Brother Ray & Devon over the top rope and down to the ringside floor, with a HUGE double-arm clothesline. But as Triple H then stands tall in the ring, Brother Devine comes from behind, clubbing him in the back and kicking his legs, then with The Game staggered and caught off-guard, Devine attempts an arm-whip, only for HHH to reverse this, sending Devine away and into the far corner of the ring, but when Triple H charges forwards to crush Devine against the far turnbuckle-post, Devine gets his foot up and HHH runs into a high boot, staggering HHH backwards. Then with HHH dazed, Devine quickly springs up to the top turnbuckle-post himself, before launching off and up into the air with a high turn-around cross body attempt, only for Triple H to counter by catching Devine with a solid boot to the mid-section, avoiding contact and then as Devine staggers, quickly hooking his arms once more, then driving him face down onto the canvas with the Pedigree, for the 1-2-3 count, scoring the victory. And with Devine slowly rolling under the bottom rope to ringside, while Triple H stands victorious in the ring with his arms held high with triumph…  

But with crowd cheering The Game in victory, a gasp suddenly breaks their cheers, while the strains of obscure sitar music now resound over the arena sound system and attention turns towards the entrance as The Great Khali strides out through the curtain, without Ranjin Singh but striding out through the curtain with his usual confidence, The Great Khali makes his way imperiously down the entrance ramp towards the ring, while Triple H watches with gritted teeth, and again brushing air away from his face. Then as the crowd watches in awe, Khali steps onto the apron and over the top rope, advancing towards the champion who has not taken his eyes away from the Giant, with Khali then slowly motioning across his waist for the UCW Championship Belt, before Triple H then also steps forwards, confronting Khali in the centre of the ring. And with the 7ft 3” Punjabi Nightmare towering over the proclaimed King of Kings, the crowd cheers this moment as the champion tilts his head back, looking upwards, seeing The Great Khali staring down at him and attempting to intimidate The Game, before HHH takes a step away. The Game then claims the title belt from the referee, raising it high above his head as the crowd begins to cheer, with Khali not impressed, before HHH lays the belt on the canvas at his feet and then locks eyes with the Giant, performing a popular Crotch Chop, mocking Khali and drawing further crowd cheers, but before Khali can retaliate and unseen by The Game, Team 3D re-enters the ring, coming from behind HHH and viciously clubbing the UCW Champion in the back, buckling him down and crumpling him to the canvas, leaving him at the feet of Khali, then with the crowd jeering loudly Brother Ray and Brother Devon ignore the referee, who quickly makes an exits while Team 3D begins stamping down onto Triple H, then taking it in turns to hit the ropes and connect with high running leg drops, crashing down across the chest of The Game. Then with HHH beaten and motionless, Bubba & Devon slowly drag his limp frame up to his unsteady feet, holding him up, while The Great Khali turns his head to look out at the crowd, then raising his hands, rubbing them together with evil intentions and taking one step forward towards HHH, then placing his massive hands on either side of his head around the skull of Triple H, gripping tightly and applying his vicious Vice Grip and beginning to squeeze hard, then harder and attempting to crush the skull of HHH as the crowd watches in shock, lost for words and stunned into silence at these scenes while Khali asserts himself, with maniacal smiles spreading across the faces of both Brother Ray and Devon. And, with Triple H fading away and sinking down to the canvas following these effects, Bubba and Devon allowing him to drop from their support, on his motionless legs, with Khali still applying the Vice Grip while HHH begins to splutter from the mouth, coughing and spitting up spurts of blood before finally offering no further resistance, while Khali releases his grip and Triple H flops to the canvas, lying flat on his back, with blood smeared in broad strokes across his chest and dripping from his mouth. And with the King of Kings down, Khali now stands above the body of The Game, raising his arms above his head and roaring aloud, drawing loud boos from the crowd, while The Great Khali now stands dominantly above the fallen champion in the ring, again motioning across his waist for the UCW Championship Belt held by Triple H, while Brother Ray and Devon begin to smile to themselves, looking into the crowd, before Bubba turns back to his brother, yelling…“Devon…GET THE TABLES!!!” And, while Devon rolls to the outside, claiming a folding table from under the ring, Brother Ray continues to stand menacingly above The Game, side-by-side with Khali, as Devon now re-enters and both 3D Brothers help to set-up the table inside the ring, then after dragging the fallen HHH up, Devon holds him upright on his unsteady legs, while Bubba motions to Khali. And with Triple H dazed, Khali now advances to him, before throttling HHH around the throat with both hands and hoisting him into the air, then with The Game struggling to breath in the grip of Khali, the Giant steps around, standing in front of the table while holding Triple H in the air for almost an eternity, then brutally slamming him down through the table with the devastating Khali Bomb, double-barrelled Choke Slam, shattering the table into pieces and leaving HHH down, amongst the broken shards of wooden table, lying motionless as the crowd fall silent, while The Great Khali raises his arms above his head, standing dominant in the ring, with Team 3D both looking on with utter amazement, applauding the actions of Khali, with the crowd watching in total horror while HHH remains motionless on the canvas, his battered body lying still amongst broken shards of wood from the shattered table. And now, with both The Game lying motionless on the mat, amid the shards of wood, Brother Ray & Brother Devon stand tall and proud on either side of The Great Khali, while jeers can be heard throughout the arena crowd, as more boos now rain down, with the UCW Champion Triple H at the centre of the carnage, ravaged with violence, broken by the table and this savage assault four days removed from No Remorse and, with HHH still flat on his back and the crowd noise now deafening with abuse, Brother Ray and Devon begin to shout at the tops of their voice, raising their hands, yelling…“One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six…Seven…Eight…Nine…Ten!!!” Then after calling for a mic from the terrified ring-attendant, Bubba speaks again, saying…“Now ladies & gentlemen, here is your winner Sunday night at No Remorse, from the Punjab jungles of India and the next UCW Champion…The Great Khali!!!” And when Bubba slams his mic to the canvas, with the crowd watching in silence, slowly Khali, Devon and Brother Ray all raise their arms high above into the air, while Triple H remains bloody, beaten and broken as we now go off the air, with JR, saying…“How in God’s name is this fair and decent, the answer simply is, it’s not, but nobody seems to give a damn, certainly not the General Manager that’s for sure, with No Remorse ahead this Sunday…how can The Game possibly recover by then, how can he defend the UCW Championship against that 7ft 3” Punjabi Nightmare, but somehow, some way, if The Game makes it, if he is willing and able, what then, with the odds stacked against him once more…Who will be the Last Man Standing?”
