SUNDAY
MAY 9th
7:00pm


Tokyo Egg Dome
   


Jackson: "We're down to three big matches. The battle for honor…honor in his home country…is next as the NeWA International Title will be decided between the champion and the former champion."

Michaels: "They say big things come in small packages…well they don't get much smaller than the International Champion, Hyuk Suh Kim. This little piece of dynamite has exploded into the heavyweight division winning the second most pretigious title in the world."

Jackson: "Adam Fierce is planning on recapturing the championship and his number one ranking tonight by defeating the Hyuk-ster in his hometown. It's the deadly submission hold of Hyuk versus the big bang high impact finisher of Fierce. Either one will spell the end of one of these wrestlers tonight."

Michaels: "I've lost too many bets tonight…I'm passing on this one."

Koichi: "Please welcome the former NeWA International Champion…Adaaaaam Fierce!"

The crowd boos Fierce somewhat with some scattered cheers.

Koichi: "And the honorable Super J Crown winner, former NeWA World Cruiserweight Champion, and now NeWA International Champion…he brings great honor for all of Japan…here is Hyuk…Suh…Kiiiiiiiiim!!!"

The crowd goes wild with cheers and applause as they wait for Hyuk to appear.

 NeWA International Title Rematch

 Hyuk Suh Kim
NeWA International Champion

 Versus

 Adam Fierce
Former Champion

Jackson: " It's time to blow the top off of the Dome…because Hyuk Suh Kim is on deck."

Michaels: "I don't know, Joe. There were a couple boos for him earlier. I've never seen Hyuk cheat or interfere in a match and neither has any these fans. They don't know what to make of that."

Jackson: "Either way, he's still the man these people want to see here tonight. So let's hit the ring for this big International Title Match!"

The the sound of the wind blowing is heard throughout the arena and it is quickly drowned out by insane cheering. "Dust In the Wind" starts to play, but the lyrics can't be heard over the crowd's applause. Hyuk appears in the entry way and smiles, then walks down to ringside. He gets up on a turnbuckle and holds the belt up. Thousands of flash bulbs go off and a loud cheer is heard, then Hyuk gets down and hands the belt to the ref. He holds it up high, then signals for the bell.

Jackson: "What a crowd reaction for Kim. They really love him here in Japan."

Fierce and Hyuk hook it up and Adam wastes no time in shoving the little man back with a show of strength. The crowd gasps as Adam allows Hyuk to return to his feet and come forward. Kim fakes a right, then roundhouses the left knee of Adam. He stays on his feet for that, but not the spinning roundhouse coming from the other direction. Adam goes down and the crowd loves it. He takes Fierce's leg, but Adam kicks him off with the other. Hyuk falls down. Fierce is up, and he kicks Hyuk in the midsection. He takes him up, then hip tosses Hyuk halfway to the ceiling and down hard. Adam goes over to him and stomps him down some more. Hyuk takes refuge in the corner. Fierce takes him and hip-tosses him high and long again. Hyuk is slow to his feet and Adam runs him over with a running knee lift.

Jackson: "Fierce is so much stronger. This has been a much more one-sided bout than their first two."

Adam takes Hyuk up and goes for a vertical suplex, but Hyuk lands on the other side. He wraps his arms around Fierce's head and drags him down into a sleeper. Hyuk hooks his legs around Adam's and uses them to increase the pain. Adam uses his longer arms to grab Kim. He powers to his knees, then his feet, then drops Kim off with a jawbreaker. Fierce takes Hyuk up and throws him into the ropes. Hyuk hits a jumping sidekick that rocks Fierce! Both men are slow to get up, Hyuk goes over for a cover, 1.....2...kick out! Adam gets to a knee, but Hyuk hits a sliding dropkick to the knee to force Adam to the mat. Kim quickly locks on a step-over toehold! Adam is in a lot of pain, but he manages to get a hand on the bottom rope.

Michaels: "What I like about Hyuk Suh Kim, Joe, is his in ring style. No risks, all business. A 160 pound technician, who would of thunk it?"

Adam gets to his feet now and kicks Kim in the midsection. He goes for a right hand, but Hyuk catches it, pulls him into a knee to Fierce's midsection. Hyuk leaps up onto Adam's head and hits a tornado DDT! He covers, 1.....2.....kick out! Adam rolls to his feet again, holding his head now. Hyuk comes over to him and goes for a sidekick, but Adam ducks then hooks and hits a big belly-to-belly suplex. Fierce takes him up, then whips Kim into the corner. Hyuk comes out of it with another jumping sidekick, but Adam ducks and Kim NAILS the ref!

Jackson: "Omigod, he cleaned that guy's clock. He's gone, out."

Hyuk checks the ref as the crowd gasps. Fierce turns Kim around and punches him in the face. Adam then throws Hyuk into the corner. He comes in after him and hits a big chest chop. Adam lifts Hyuk onto the turnbuckle. He's climbing up after him. But the crowd is looking at the entrance way. It's Neurosis, Hyuk's fellow Misfit!

Jackson: "Neurosis has that screwdriver. He's looking to help Hyuk here, no doubt."

Neurosis starts plodding down the aisle as Adam Fierce hits a BIG superplex onto the downed ref! Neurosis is about to hit the ring when someone jumps from the crowd onto him! He's pounding away on Neurosis. It's the Boog-Man! Boog is punching Neurosis on the ground as Adam Fierce tries to regain his wits after that big superplex. He's stumbling to his feet.

Jackson: "Oh man, Fierce has him. Hey, what's this?"

Two more people have appeared in the entrance way. The crowd doesn't seem to recognize them as they walk down the aisle. The two men wear black armor with blue and green trim respectively. They both carry Japanese katanas.

Jackson: "Is that … ?"

Michaels: "Holy sh . . . it's Caesar Naissance and Shang Hypnosa!! What are they doing out here now??"

Caesar and Shang walk right by Boog and Neurosis on the floor. Meanwhile, Adam has thrown Hyuk into the corner again. He picks him up onto the top turnbuckle again. Caesar has entered the ring with katana in hand! Adam stuffs Hyuk's head under his arm and signals for his 'Worst Fear' finisher from the top! Fierce leaps off and nails the 'Worst Fear.' Hyuk's out. He stands up and holds his arms up, then turns around just in time to be CLOCKED BY CAESAR with the butt of the katana!!

Jackson: "What the hell??? Does Caesar have a past with Fierce?"

Michaels: "He has a present, that's for damn sure!"

Fierce collapses like a sack of potatoes, bleeding from his mouth and nose. Caesar walks stoically over to Kim and drags him on top of Adam Fierce. Naissance shakes the ref for a few seconds, then slides out of the ring. The crowd is stunned, they can't believe it.

Jackson: "Listen to this crowd."

The ref's coming around. He sees Hyuk making the pin. Caesar and Shang watch from the outside. He counts, 1........2.........3.

Koichi: "Your winner, and still NeWA International Champion, in 30:06, Hyuk…Suh…Kiiiiiiim!"

Jackson: "Wow!"

A lot of the crowd is booing as Hyuk is given his belt and he groggily stands and holds it above his head.

Michaels: "But Hyuk doesn't know what happened. This isn't his fault. Is it?"

Jackson: "No, I wouldn't say it is. At least . . . I dunno, Bob."

Caesar and Shang leave without a word as Kim's music plays.)

Jackson: "If you would have told me before the match the fans would boo their hometown hero, Hyuk Suh Kim after retaining the International Title, I wouldn't have believed you."

Michaels: "It's a whole different thing here in Japan. Honor is the code of life. Hyuk just lost face in front of his home…his father…everyone that means anything to him. He won the match…but lost a lot more here tonight."

Jackson: "Two more matches to go…"

Michaels: "Both of these will be fantastic. United States Champions battling World Champions…here we go…"


 NeWA World Tag Team Title Match

 The Rebels
Rick Evans & Buck Smith
NeWA World Tag Team Champions

 Versus

 The Overlords
Claymore & Surge
NeWA United States Tag Team Champions

The United States Tag Team Champions, Claymore and Surge, make their way to the ring as their music plays. Both look roughed up from their encounter with The Crazy Ones earlier in the night. Their injured friend, Power, accompanies them to the ring as the fans cheer them on.

Jackson: "The Overlords look determined tonight, but how much did the Misfits take out of them?"

Michaels: "You can't be at anything less than your best if you plan on defeating The Rebels. Power is at ringside for support, but he can't do anything about the pain they suffered at the hands of the Misfits earlier tonight."

"Gangsta Gangsta" plays over the Sony sound system and the Dome comes to life again as the World Tag Team Champions, Buck Smith and Rick Evans, make their way to the ring. Adam Fierce is with them. The fans are unusually loud in their displeasure with The Rebels.

Jackson: "The Rebels have certainly gotten under the skin of the fans. This is very uncommon in Japan to hear this kind of reception."

Michaels: "It's size versus strength as The Rebels defend against The Overlords."

Rick Evans begins the match with Claymore. Evans grabs Claymore and attempts to suplex him. Claymore blocks the move and knees Evans. Claymore bounces off the ropes and drops Evans with a flying shoulderblock. The crowd erupts. Claymore tags in Surge. The Overlords double slam Evans. Smith charges in and The Overlords double clothesline Smith. The Rebels roll out of the ring to stop the momentum. The fans are cheering wildly.

Jackson: "That is why The Rebels are the World Tag Team Champions. They fell into the rhythm of their opponents, realized it, and bailed out of the ring to regroup before their challengers could capitalize on it."

Michaels: "The fans don't like it, but it's a smart move."

Evans slowly makes his way back into the ring. Surge meets him at the ropes. Evans grabs Surge and drops his neck across the top rope. Evans enters the ring and pulls Surge to the corner, tagging in Buck Smith. The Rebels pummel Surge with forearm smashes to the back. Evans finally exits the ring. Smith grabs Surge, lifts him high up for a vertical suplex…and crashes him down.

Jackson: "You can't take too many of those from a seven footer."

Smith lifts Surge up…grabs him by the throat and up for a choke-slam. Claymore is in quick and nails Smith in the back. He drops Surge. Evans enters the ring. Claymore ducks and backdrops Evans. Smith turns and is dropped with a running spear from Claymore. The crowd is up and cheering again.

Jackson: "Claymore has the Dome rocking!"

Michaels: "The Overlords have the upper hand again. If they can just get one of The Rebels out of the ring…"

Claymore and Surge pick up Smith…whip him into the corner…Claymore whips Surge into the same corner. Surge clotheslines Smith. Claymore follows him with a splash in the corner. Smith falls face first into the mat. Surge covers him for the pin. One…two…thr-

Jackson: "Rick Evans saved the titles breaking up the pin attempt!"

Claymore is back in the ring after Evans. Evans rolls out of the ring and he and Adam Fierce grab Power! Claymore keeps his distance as Evans threatens to pull on the halo that is attached to Power's neck and head. Surge sees it too. With his attention distracted, Buck Smith is able to grab Surge again for a choke-slam. This time he nails it. Smith hooks the leg of Surge. One…two…three!

Koichi: "The winners at 16:39 and still NeWA World Tag Team Champions…Buck Smith…Rick Evans…The Rebbbbbbels!"

Jackson: "Talk about a cheap way to win…using the crippled Power to gain the edge."

Michaels: "Hey, it's their own fault. They shouldn't have brought that liability to ringside. I mean were talking about the World Tag Team Titles. The Rebels are not just going to hand them over. They're willing to do about anything to keep them."

Jackson: "They did tonight. But I know this hasn't settled a thing between these two factions. They're sure to lock horns again soon."


The lights dim and the laser light show begins. The familiar theme music starts up and "The Natural" Mike Bell begins the long walk from the entrance to the ring. The fans are cheering for him all the way.

Michaels: "It's showtime! This is the one we've all been waiting for."

Jackson: "Let's go to ringside for the introductions in the main event."
