OOC: Next week I'm gonna have a special show as it will be the first of 2011, I've decided to scrap this style of results and do some more detailed results.
Warfare - December 27 2010
Internet Exclusive Dark Match - Paul Burchill d. Shannon Moore
Warfare kicks off with a big pyro, as the camera's come in on the set which has got a Christmas theme, with a giant Christmas three on the top of the entrance ramp aswell as some other Christmassy decoration. We got to Tazz and JR, with Tazz looking like a total goof wearing a Christmas hat. They welcome us to the show and promise a hell of a one in store for us tonight.
"Metalingus" starts to play as Edge opens up the show, not looking like he is in the Christmas spirit. As he makes his way down the ramp we see footage of last week, when Tomko interfered in a battle royal, costing Edge from winning, allowing Batista to win the match and become number 1 contender for the GWF title. Edge quickly grabs a microphone and says he is beyond confused, first off Christian walks out in his match at Hostile Holiday, and ends up causing him to lose to Batista, and then Tomko causes him to lose a battle royal. Edge says he would really like some answers, especially from his brother Christian. Christian's theme starts to play and for the first time ever in the GWF, Captain Charisma makes his way down to the ring, looking a little guilty. Christian tells Edge he has got it all wrong, he wasn't trying to cost him his match at Hostile Holiday, he just wanted to get a better view of the action, and as for Tomko, Christian has got nothing to do with him anymore, and he certainly had nothing to do with him interfering in Edge's match. Edge says it's quite a coincidence that Tomko would debut the night after Christian, but Christian insists he is telling the truth. Christian says he doesn't want to fight his brother, in fact, he would love nothing more than to reunite E and C... The fans give a huge pop at the mention of this, and the theme of The Nature Boy Ric Flair hits, as the GM quickly comes to the top of the ramp with a microphone. Flair says that it's about time Christian and Tomko both made their in ring debuts in the GWF, he also says that he want's this thing settled between Edge and Christian tonight, so he has an idea. Flair says everyone will find out who's side Christian is on, because in tonight's main event, Edge and Christian will reunite to face none other than Tomko, and his partner, Kane. Christian seems delighted with the announcement, unlike Edge, who still seems suspicious.
A promo for the Royal Rumble plays, as we look back at some of the past winners, and relive the exciting endings to the past Rumble's.
Our first match is a number 1 contender's match, the winner will face Beer Money for the tag team titles at the Royal Rumble, as the World's Greatest Tag Team take on Generation Me. The match is fairly short, but never the less impresses. After a series of counter holds and back and forth, Charlie Haas manages to surprise Jeremy, holding his leg's down for a pin as he attempt's a sunset flip pin, making the WGTT the winners and number 1 contenders.
We go backstage to Ric Flair's office, where he is now looking through some file's, as the 7 foot beast Matt Morgan walks in. Morgan asks Flair if he is still getting that number 30 spot he was promised. Flair laughs, as does Morgan, expecting a yes. Flair then tells Morgan he said he would get the number 30 spot if he beat Kurt Angle, but he didn't, so no. Morgan seems surprised, and reminds Flair that Bobby Lashley cost him the match, albeit by accident. Flair agrees, but says he is a man of a word, so he has given Morgan a very special spot, a spot which has produced the same amount of winner's as number 30. Flair then chuckles and tells Morgan his number for the Royal Rumble will be number 1! Morgan is furious, but Flair let's him know that he shouldn't have let down the Nature Boy.
In a quick interview with Jeff Jarrett, he says his MMA training has been getting tougher, but he's always been a fighter, and it is coming natural to him, he brags about his hard fought submission win over Stevie Richards last week, and promises to follow it up by making Jesse Neal tap out tonight.
Second match of the night, and Jesse Neal takes on Jeff Jarrett. Neal enters first, followed by Jarrett. Jarrett again goes to mat wrestling and leg kicks, acting as if he really is an MMA expert, but Neal comes back and hit's Jarrett with some big moves, getting many near falls. Jarrett works on Neal's left shoulder through the whole match though, stemming from Neal hurting it early on. Jarrett dodges a spear from Jesse Neal, and pushes Neal shoulder first into the steel ringpost. Neal screams in pain as Jarrett takes him down and apples an armbar, Neal tries to fight the pain, but has to tap out. Jarrett again celebrate's as if he has won a world title, and scream's into the camera that he will win the Royal Rumble.
We get a Wrestlemania recap, from Wrestlemania 2000, as the Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian steal the show with an amazing triangle ladder match, with everyone almost killing themselves with crazy bumps, in the end though, it's Edge and Christian who win it, setting up a table against 2 ladder's and pulling down the titles together.
Next up, Drew McIntyre enters the ring and reminds everyone his open challenge is still ongoing, and open to anyone on the roster. Drew waits a few seconds, waiting for an opponent, but nothing happens. Drew then get's on the microphone again and berates the entire roster, saying this prooves he is in a class of his own, and everyone in the back is too scared to take his challenge up. Just as it looks like he is leaving the ring, an unfamiliar theme plays, and PAUL LONDON makes his way out! London sprints down to the ring, high fiving some fans, and enters the ring, jumping on the second rope, and then doing a backflip off it. London get's on the microphone and informs Drew he has been signed by the GWF, and now is the perfect opportunity to debut. McIntyre punches London right in the face as the bell rings to signal the start of the impromptu match.
McIntyre's snail paced offense doesn't cut it this time, as London dazzles the viewer's with his amazing move set, using a variety of pins to come close many times. The match doesn't last long, but tings get very exciting, as McIntyre begins to fight harder trying to stop the high flying London. McIntyre lands out on the outside, and London then springs off the top rope and takes McIntyre down with an amazing shooting star press. The 2 then slowly get to their feet as the referee counts. Both get in just before the 10 and go back and forth some more, it soon looks like McIntyre has the match won as he hooks London for a Future Shock, but somehow, London pulls off a great counter into a pin, and get's a 3 count!
London celebrates his shock win with the cheers of the crowd backing him. He doesn't have much time to celebrate though, as out of nowhere, RHYNO AND PAUL BURCHILL run in, attacking both men with clubbing blows to the back and head. The ref tries to stop them, but they shove him down. Burchill send's McIntyre over the top rope, while Rhyno hits London with a Gore, and Burchill follows it up by hitting him with a Dangerous Buster. Rhyno and Burchill stand over London, with Burchill smiling, as the crowd look on, wondering WTF just happened.
Backstage Ted DiBiase is in Ric Flair's office, we come in on the conversation as DiBiase is talking about the TV title, asking Flair if he was impressed by DiBiase's attack on Daniel Bryan last week. Flair says he was, and he has faith in DiBiase he can win the TV title, so he is going to give him 1 final opportunity at the title, at the Royal Rumble. Flair then says seeing DiBiase apply the million dollar dream last week reminded him of his dad, and Bryan has a pretty impressive submission hold too, so he is going to make things interesting, and make their TV title match a submission match.
We get a long promo, which starts with a theme song playing, and a man talking. The man talks about how he is going to bring a whole different kind of wild and crazy to the GWF. This man is hard to understand, as he uses metaphors and talks about letting his emotions run free, and all the trouble he has gone through, pain he has felt, the promo ends up seemingly making no sense at all, then finally the camera pans out and we see Orlando Jordan, topless and wearing jeans, with his face painted purple and pink. JR and Tazz seem a bit lost for words after the very strange segment, but let everyone know that OJ has signed a contract with the GWF, and will debut next week.
It is then advertised that next week's show will be the first of 2011, and we are told it will be a new year's special, action packed with top matches.
In the next match of the evening, Matt Morgan, accompanied by Paul Heyman, takes on The Freak, Rob Terry, who now holds 3 straight wins over Bobby Lashley. The match is short, only lasting just over 2 minutes, as the 2 brawl back and forth for most of the match. Then as Terry takes Morgan down with a press slam, Bobby Lashley runs into the ring, and hit's the Freak with a big spear, immediately ending the match.
Lashley beats down Terry with stomps and kicks, showing no remorse as the Welshman tries to block to no avail. Matt Morgan get's to his feet, realising what just happened, and doesn't seem too happy. Morgan taps Lasley on the shoulder, and asks why Lashley interfered so early. Lashley tells Morgan to keep out of it, and goes back to attacking Terry. Morgan looks very pissed now, and looks as if he is about to attack Lashley, but Paul Heyman, on the outside, orders him to leave the ring. Morgan starts to leave as Lasley pulls up Terry. Morgan then stops, ready to nail Lashley, but changes his mind, and leaves the ring as the fans boo his decision. Morgan throws off his elbow pads and walks by Heyman with his head down, as inside the ring Lashley hits Terry with a big powerslam, and then leaves aswell, with Heyman giving him a big clap on the back.
Backstage we go to Kurt Angle, who is in a suit being interviewed by Todd Grisham. Angle says that in preparation for the Rumble match, he needs a match with a top wrestler, to see if he is hitting on all cylinders and get rid of any ring rust. Angle announces that next week on the new year's special, he will be facing... an opponent of his choosing. Angle says he will need time to think about it, and will announce it on next week's show, Grisham wishes him good luck.
Tazz and JR then go through next week's show, as the following matches are confirmed.
* Kurt Angle vs An opponent of his choosing
* Bobby Lasley vs Rob Terry - Street Fight, Winner get's a shot at the Intercontinental Title at Royal Rumble.
* 6 Man Battle Royal - Winner enters the Royal Rumble at No. 30
* Ted DiBiase vs Eddie Edwards - Submission match
*Orlando Jordan's Debut
In the main event, Christian and Edge reunite to face Tomko and Kane. The match is standard tag team stuff really, but throughout the match Edge seems very wary of Christian. Finally, as things get a bit heated approaching the end, Christian dodges a boot from Tomko, and hit's a quick Killswitch, scoring the pinfall and the win for him and Edge. Afterwards, Christian extends his hand to Edge, who still doesn't seem sure, but finally shakes his hand, and then raises it as Warfare comes to a close.
