NWA Danger Zone Wrestling (November 20, 2005)

NWA Danger Zone Wrestling

November 20, 2005

Civic Center

Providence, RI

 

Disclaimer:  It's all fantasy and not real!  Too bad because my NWA kicks ass!

 

We open the show with Tony Schiavone and "Dirty" Dutch Mantell at ringside.  Schiavone informs the fans that Danger Zone Wrestling will NOT be airing this upcoming weekend.  They will only be doing one show this upcoming week, NWA W.A.R. - to give the wrestlers a chance to spend Thanksgiving with their families.  So look for a special edition of NWA W.A.R. on Saturday, November 26.. and Danger Zone Wrestling will return next Sunday at it's regularly scheduled time.

 

Schiavione and Mantell plug the matches signed so far for this week on the Danger Zone.  It's the Outsiders, Hall & Nash, taking on two of the Horsemen, Charlie Haas & Mark Copani.  Plus NWA Women's Champion Sherri Martel defends her title against the former champion, Lisa "Ivory" Moretti.  And in the main event, the leader of the Horsemen, Arn Anderson defends the North American Championship against his former teammate and partner, Barry Windham.   

 

Here is Jimmy Cornette crashing the scene.  He wants to see video from last week as he "singlehandedly" won the 12-man elimination match.  Cornette tells the producers to run the video and a see a "very edited" clip of Cornette and Scott Steiner using the tennis racket to get the pinfall over Blackjack Mulligan.  Cornette crows long and hard about how he's a great manager, dresser, dancer, ladies man... and a great wrestler.  It's just Cornette ranting and being classic Cornette as Schiavone and Mantell look on and roll their eyes.  Cornette notices this and snaps on Schiavone that Cornette is a great TV commentator too, and if Schiavone doesn't watch himself, Cornette might decide to kick him to the curb and take over that job too!  Cornette heads to the back and we go to commercial.

We're back and it's time for Gary Michael Capetta..

 

We see clips of the Iron Sheik defeating Mark Copani last week on DZW in a "Persian Death Match" as Copani decided to just walk out, giving Iron Sheik the count-out win.

 

THE IRON SHEIK  versus "THE BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN" JIMMY VALIANT

 

Valiant is wide open as he comes in and immediately goes after the Sheik with a rip to the eyes and fists. Kicks and a slam by Valiant and Sheik goes the outside.  Valiant follows and runs Sheik into the ringpost before slamming him hard against the ring barrier.  Valiant rolls Sheik into the ring and gets two.  Valiant locks in a nervehold on the fallen Sheik.  Sheik gets to his knees and lands some elbows before pulling the hair and putting the boots to Valiant.  Several suplexes by Sheik and he gets two.  Sheik slams Valiant and goes for the Camel Clutch, but Valiant is too close to the ropes and Sheik has to break.  Sheik whips Valiant into the corner. Valiant comes out with a clothesline and some fists.  The ref gets caught by an elbow and Sheik takes advantage of the situation to load his boot and kick Valiant in his "boogie-woogie men".  Valiant is down and the Sheik locks in the Camel Clutch.  The ref calls for the bell.

Winner:  THE IRON SHEIK

 

From out of nowhere, Mark Copani and Charlie Haas hit the ring, followed closely by Arn Anderson and Sean O'Haire. It's the Horsemen in full force as they beat down the Sheik and quickly leave him a brusied and bloody mess. Haas lays out a chair in the ring and Anderson & Copani quickly apply a spiked piledriver to the former WWF Champion. The Horsemen flee the ring as Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and several NWA officials come down to break up the melee.

We come back and see the Iron Sheik being loaded into an ambulance.  The Horsemen are standing by and watching... laughing,  Here is Harley Race and he is not happy.  What the hell is going on?  Copani says that he was just giving Sheik a reciept for the disrespect he showed him.  Harley informs the Horsemen that they will all be fined and there will be hell to pay.

 

We go to Missy Hyatt who is standing by with The Outsiders.  They're still sporting bandages from the recent attacks by the Horsemen as well as their match against Kronik where they lost the titles.  We see a clip of Hall & Nash losing the titles to Kronik last week on DZW.  Kev says "hats off to Kronik - they were the better team last week and we have lots of respect for them.   Kronik has offered rematch whenever Hall & Nash are ready and they're looking forward to it and getting their titles back.  But the Horsemen - they think it's 1985 all over again? They made a big mistake by jumping on Kevin & Scott and paybacks are going to be a bitch.  The usually talkative Hall is very somber as he just echoes what Kevin just said and says the Jackasses are going down!

 

We see Jimmy Hart, Brian Knobbs & Brutus Beefcake headed to the ring.  They're coming up next.

Cue Gary Michael Capetta..

 

BRIAN KNOBBS & BRUTUS BEEFCAKE (with Jimmy Hart)

versus

"DIRTY" DOUG GILBERT & "WILDFIRE" TOMMY RICH

 

Gilbert gets on the mic and says that NWA Commissioner Harley Race has promised big things for he and Rich if they talk out the Hogan-stooges.  Gilbert tells Harley to get ready to pay up because they're ready to get the job done.  Jimmy Hart gets on the mic and tells Gilbert & Rich not to count their chickens before they hatch - Knobbs and Brutus aren't going anywhere and there's nothing they or Harley Race can do about that!  Knobbs grabs the mic and tells Gilbert to prepare to take a trip to "Nastyville".  Rich and Gilbert attack and the brawl is on as Hart flees to the floor.  Lots of breaking the rules and brawling by both teams.  Rich and Gilbert use the double-team on Beefcake and appear to have the match won when Jimmy Hart climbs on the ring apron. The ref is distracted as Hart tosses his megaphone to Knobbs who nails Rich with it.  Beefcake makes the cover and gets the pin.

Winners:  BRIAN KNOBBS & BRUTUS BEEFCAKE (with Jimmy Hart)

 

We see Harley Race again watching the moniter in the back.  He's not happy.  Here is Jim Cornette.  He is still bragging about how he "singlehandedly" won the big match last week.  Race lets Cornette go on for a second about how great he is and then tells him to just shut up.  Tonight, Cornette has a match.... and he's wrestling Blackjack Mulligan.  Cornette is speechless for a moment and then starts to make excuses about why he can't wrestle.  Race tells Cornette that he'll either wrestle Mulligan or else Cornette's wrestlers (Midnight Express, Masked Superstar) will be barred from any future title shots.  Cornette tells Race that isn't fair and he can't do that.  Race says he's the Commissioner and can do whatever he wants.  Now, Cornette needs to go get ready for his match.  Race walks off as Cornette stands there, speechless and stunned.

We come back and Cornette is complaining to The Midnight Express and Masked Superstar about how he can't wrestle Mulligan.  Mulligan will kill him. Bobby gives Corny a hug to console him.  Superstar tells Cornette that he doesn't have a choice or all of them are screwed.   But Cornette doesn't have to worry because they have his back and Superstar has a plan.  Cornette looks slightly hopeful and relieved as we cut to..

 

Michael P.S. Hayes is standing by with Arn Anderson, Charlie Haas, Mark Copani, Woman, Sean O'Haire and Miss Jackie - The Horsemen.  About the attack on the Iron Sheik - Copani says that it was a loose end from his former life and is now wrapped up. Haas & Copani are focused on The Outsiders now and proving themselves worthy to Arn, Ric, Woman and the rest that they're worty of carrying the title, "Horsemen".  O'Haire goes off about Barry Windham and says that Double-A will wrap that up tonight.  As for him, he's a former NWA Champion and he's beaten the current champ, Sting, in the past.  And he'll do it again just as soon as he can get a shot. It's all about gold and glory for the Horsemen.  Arn closes by talking about what a diversified and strong unit the new Horsemen are.  It's a return to greatness for the most elite force in wrestling.  As for Windham tonight, he burned his bridges a long time ago with a bad decision.  He could have been back on top, but instead, he will remain stuck in mediocrity for daring to cross the boss and the Horsemen.

 

We see Sherri Martel polishing up the NWA Women's Championship belt in the back.  Her defense against Lisa Moretti is coming up next.

We see clips of last week as Martel nails Moretti with the title belt while appearing on Ted DiBiase's "Money Pit".  And a couple of days ago on W.A.R., Martel gets involved in the Sting - Vader match as she attempts a splash on Sting, but nails Vader instead.  Sting rolls Martel to the floor and locks Vader in the Scorpion Deathlock to get the win.

 

NWA WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

SHERRI MARTEL (c) versus LISA "IVORY" MORETTI

 

Sherri is arrogant and starts off with slaps and kicks.  Lisa slams her to the mat and goes after the arm.  Kicks by Martel and a big suplex for two.  Martel with a slam and elbow. Sherri goes to the top for a crossbody.  Moretti ducks and Sherri crashes and burns.  Big bulldog by Moretti and she covers for the pin.

Winner and NEW NWA Women's Champion:  LISA "IVORY" MORETTI

Missy Hyatt is standing in the back with the NWA World Champion, Sting.  Sting talks about the series of matches against Vader and how he's been through a war, but is still the NWA Champion.  Sean O'Haire wants a shot?  That's cool. Just bring it. Hyatt announces that next week on W.A.R., there will be an 18-Man Over The Top Battle Royal to determine the next # 1 contender for Sting and the NWA title.  Sting thinks that 's cool and whoever wins, he'll be ready.

 

Cut to Gary Michael Capetta...

 

BLACKJACK MULLIGAN versus JIM CORNETTE

 

Blackjack is in the ring.  Cornette comes to the rampway and gets a mic.  He'll fight Mulligan and kick his butt, but he's worried about something.  Cornette claims he's an animal when he's mad and he's afraid he might get disqualified for beating Mulligan up too much.  So Cornette wants their match to be NO DQ!  The ref asks Mulligan and he quickly agrees and tells Cornette to bring it on.  Cornette smiles and waves to the back.  Here comes The Midnight Express, The Masked Superstar and The Honky Tonk Man from the back along with Cornette.  They come down and circle the ring and Mulligan.  All of a sudden, Harley Race pops up on the big screen titantron. He thought Cornette might try something like this - but everyone is barred from ringside.. effective RIGHT NOW!  If anyone interferes in the match... or tries anything after the match, they will be FIRED!  Cornette looks ready to wet himself as we cut to a commercial.

We come back and Jim Cornette is all alone against Blackjack Mulligan.  Cornette gets his one moment of offense as he tries to nail Mulligan from behind with his tennis racket.  Mulligan just smiles and proceeds to take his time and just beat the holy hell out of Jim Cornette.  Fists and slams and a big elbow.  Finally, Mulligan locks Cornette in the claw and allows the ref to make the count for the pin.

Winner:  BLACKJACK MULLIGAN

Back again to Gary Michael Capetta..

 

KEVIN NASH & SCOTT HALL - THE OUTSIDERS

versus

CHARLIE HAAS & MARK COPANI (with Woman, Miss Jackie) - THE HORSEMEN

 

Schiavone mentions that the rest of the Horsemen have been barred from ringside.  Hall and Haas start off and after exchanging a few wrestling moves - Hall uleashed a series of chops and punches that send Haas fleeing back to his corner and the tag to Copani.  Hall tags in Nash and he trades fists with the former Muhammad Hassan  before planting him with several elbows in the corner.  Slam by Nash and a choke in the corner before tagging off to Hall again.  Scott works over Copani.  Jackie trips Hall from the outside and we see some classic doubleteaming by the Horsemen.  Woman even manages to get a few shots in before being chased off by Nash.  Copani slams Hall and signals for the camel clutch.  As he moves in, Hall rolls over on to his back and gives Copani a borderline kick.  Tag to Nash who comes in with clotheslines and a big boot to the face of Copani.  Haas gets a kick as well that sends him to the floor. Powerbomb by Nash and he tags off to Hall.  Razors edge by Hall as Nash keeps Haas from interfering.  Scott covers and gets the pin.

Winners:  SCOTT HALL & KEVIN NASH - THE OUTSIDERS

We see Jim Cornette and his wrestlers in the back.  Cornette is being tended to by medical personal and thinks he has a concussion.  Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane make excuses and apologize for not being able to help Cornette against Mulligan, but he heard what Harley Race said.  Cornette vows revenge and screams in pain as the medic puts an ice-pack on his head.

 

We cut to Missy Hyatt as she's joined by Disco Inferno and The West Hollywood Blondes, Lenny Lane & Lodi.  Disco and the Blondes briefly talk about Cornette & his militia, Scotty Steiner, etc. and it's all not over yet.  But they seem more concerned about where they're going to party after the show tonight and ask Missy if she's going out to "shake her booty" with them. Missy kind of rolls her eyes and says she's got plans.  Lodi calls her "too old" and Lenny tells her to enjoy working the docks!  Disco says it's her loss and they walk off as Missy looks stunned.

 

We go to Gary Michael Capetta as he introduces the challenger for the next match, Barry Windham.

NWA NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
ARN ANDERSON (with Woman) versus BARRY WINDHAM

 

Schiavone mentions that Harley Race has banned the Horsemen from ringside during this match.  Arn starts off by going after the arm of Windham.  Windham fires back with clotheslines and a suplex for two.  Windham concentrates on the back and neck of Anderson and pounds away before sending Arn to the floor with a big backdrop.

We come back and Windham has Arn locked in a chinlock. Arn uses the elbows to escape and scores with a DDT.  Two count for Arn.  A few lefts and Arn goes back after the arm.  Windham reverses a whip into the ropes and scores with a bulldog. He covers, but Woman places Arn's leg on the ropes to make the break.  Windham pounds away at Anderson and sets him on the top for a superplex.  Cover by Barry and Arn just barely gets the shoulder up at two.  Windham whips Arn into the ropes but both men go for a clothesline and collide.  Both down.  The ref counts as Woman shreiks at Arn to get up.  Both men are up and trading punches.  Windham backs into the ropes and Woman attempts to grab his leg.  Distracted for a second, Windham gets caught by Arn and a spinebuster.  Arn covers and grabs the tights.  Windham makes the ropes, but Woman knocks his foot off and the referee doesn't see.  Arn puts his foot on the ropes for extra leverage and gets the pin.

Winner and still champion:  ARN ANDERSON

 

Schiavone reminds us that NWA Danger Zone Wrestling will not be airing next week because of the holidays.  But look for a special edition of NWA W.A.R. next Saturday.  And the main event will be an 18 man over-the-top Battle Royal to determine a new number one contender.  Don't miss it!

 

The end!
