Warfare ~ 10 November 2010
The first ever Warfare kicks off with a video, many of the wrestlers appear on it, saying what they plan on doing in WIW, and why they arrived. many big names appear on the video promising to be a success in the company, and say they weren't going to miss out on this huge opportunity. We then go to the arena. A big pyro then went off as the camera's moved around the arena, past tonnes of screaming fans, showing various signs, many for Rob Van Dam. The camera's then went to the commentators, Jim Ross and Tazz. JR started by saying he was delighted to be back, and hyped up WIW as the place to be, he said this was the show every wrestling fan, including him, had been waiting for, and then went on to hype the night's matches. Graphics showed for Heath Slater versus Dolph Ziggler, a 4 way for the tag team titles and Edge versus Drew McIntyre where the winner will advance to the WIW title match at Revolution.
The fans cheers turned to boo's, as Drew McIntyre made his way out, with a look of distainon his face. Drew slowly made his way into the ring and grabbed a microphone off Dave Penzer. McIntyre would say that it was about time he was given an opportunity at the world title, and claimed he was the franchise of WIW, their undoubted greatest talent. As McIntyre continued to drone on, fans replied with s big "What?" after every sentence, and eventually went to chants of "Boring!" Finally, much to the delight of fans, this was interrupted by the theme of Edge, who made his way out to a mixed reaction, fans still not sure who's side he is on. Edge grabbed a mic and started by telling mcIntyre how unbelievably boring he is, saying half the guys in the back are asleep. Edge told McIntyre that he was going to get speared, and then hinted that he couldn't wait until the main event to do it, McIntyre fired back with some standard insults. Edge then put the mic to his mouth, about to hit back at Drew, but then changed his mind, throwing down the mic and spearing McIntyre to a huge pop. Edge raised his arms in the air as McIntyre rolled out of the ring.
The camera's then went to a locker room backstage, where Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett and Sid Vicious were talking amongst each other. The camera's came on them just in time to hear them run down all the young talent in WIW, and say they were going to be the main eventers of this company.
We then went back to the arena, as the ever ecentric and strange Orlando Jordan made his way to the ring to a fairly silent reaction. Next out was Justin Gabriel, who ran down the ramp high fiving front row fans with a big grin on his face. The one on one match got underway, as Gabriel started strong, showing off his impressive aerial skills. Gabriel seemed too much for OJ, hitting him with stiff kicks to the chest and head. Eventually OJ would stop Gabriel's momentum, backrdropping him over the ropes to the outside. From here Jordan slowed down Gabriel with farious submissions, and treid to put him away with some bigger moves, getting many near falls. Gabriel would fight back into control and hit some big moves, capping it off with a picture perfect 450 splash, getting an impressive pinfall victory over Jordan.
~Commercial Break~
As WIW returned, Tazz and JR went over the first quarter of the show, as a replay played of Edge spearing McIntyre, and Gabriel pinning OJ.
Next up, a 4 way to crown the first tag team champions. Out first is the Young Bucks, Max and Jeremy, with a fairly standard entrance, followed by Beer Money. Next out is Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who surprisingly get a big pop from the crowd. The final team to enter is Mark Henry and Percy Watson. Henry shows off his biceps as Percy runs around the ring dancing and high fiving fans. The match is an unorganised brawl to start off, members from all teams trying to eliminate the others from the ring. In the end, Beer Money and the Young Buck's are left in the ring, and they kick things off with some fine wrestling. Throughout the match, teams almost trade places from the outside of the ring to the inside, as the match ranges from fantastic, when the Young Bucks are in the ring, to fairly average, when Hall and Nash and Watson and Henry are in the ring. Eventually Mark Henry hits a World's Strongest Slam on Scott Hall and looks to hve the match won, but Jamest Storm superkicks him and pins Hall to win the match for Beer Money, making them the first WIW tag tem champions. Beer Money celebrate on the ramp with their titles
Backstage, the WIW interviewer, Lacey Von Erich is with Heath Slater. Slater says it's time for him to step up, and tonight he will show everyone how good he is as he beats Dolph Ziggler.
Backt to JR and Tazz, they advertise tonight's main event, Drew McIntyre versus Edge in a semifinal match for the WIW title, they say next week Rob Van Dam will take on Kane in the other semi final, and the final will take place at WIW's first pay per view, Revolution.
A pre recorded video plays of Rob Van Dam talking about why he signed with WIW. RVD says it felt like the right thing to do, and he didn't want to watch a WIW show in a few months and wish he had joined.
Backstage there is a short interview with Jim Cornette in his office, he says that he might be the GM, but he's going to try and sit back and let the wrestler's take care of themselves. Cornette then says how great it is to work in a company where there is nobody called Vince...
~Commercial Break~
As Warfare returns, Heath Slater enters, followed by Dolph Ziggler. Their match is surprisingly good. Ziggler showed how good he is when it comes to mat wrestling with some good take downs and holds on Slater. The 2 would then go back and forth for mostof the match, with neither man staying in control for very long before the other would counter. Ziggler got multiple near falls, and then looked to have the match won after a Zig Zag, but Slater surprisingly kicked out. Not long after, Slater would dodge a clothesline and hit a jumping neckbreaker, and then pin Ziggler for the win, much to the surprise of the whole crowd. Slater celebrated with front row fans, delighted with his win, as Ziggler seemed shocked and horrified by the result, almost tearing his hair out inside the ring.
In a pre taped video very similar to RVD's, Edge talks about joining WIW, saying the choice was easy for him, and he was desperate for a new challenge. He said he will stop at nothing to become the WIW champion.
A vignette type promo played for Kane, as he gave one of his dark, eerie promo's, Kane promised to bring a reign of terror and destruction on WIW, as his match next week with Rob Van Dam was again mentioned by Tazz and JR.
Backstage Beer Money Inc. Were interviewed by lacey Von Erich. They said there is a good reason they are the first champions in WIW, because they are the best tag team in wrestling, and 2 best wrestlers in WIW.
The theme of Drew McIntyre then hit as he made his way out, lookking very annoyed, and showing real hate to the crowd. This was followed by Edge, who this time got a big pop. The 2 entered the ring as the main event got underway. The match started with the 2 trading punches and kicks, but the pace gradually slowed down. Warfare took a commercial just as McIntyre hurled Edge over the top rope.
~Commercial Break~
As Warfare returned Drew had Edge clamped in a sleeper hold, and the ref checked Edge's arm, but Edge stayed in it. The match continued with drew in control, wearing Edge down. Edge came back with a swinging neckbreaker and an impaler DDT for a near fall, and the match then picked up pace, as both attempted their finisher's and tried to put the other away. McIntyre threw Edge shoulder first into the steel ring post and rolled him up for a close near fall. McIntyre then tried toset up for the Future Shock DDT, but Edge countered and hit a Spear out of nowhere. With both men down and hurting, Edge crawled over to the corner and pulled himself up against the ropes, calling for McIntyre to get to his feet. McIntyre did, and Edge hit him with a bigger second spear. Edge then covered McIntyre to pick up the victory to a big pop, and advance to the world title match at Revolution. Edge raised his arms in victory, then, the devil's favourite demon, Kane, came from under the ring and rooled into it, standing behind Edge, as Edge turned around he ran right into the monster's hand, who then hit a big chokeslam on the Rated R Superstar. Warfare closed with Kane standing over Edge with an evil smile on his face as his theme played.
