It's Saturday Night...do you know where your action is?

Jerry Kent, having been the last man to pin Zangief one on one, wanted a title shot for the World Title, and had petitioned the championship committee for that shot. During the week, the paperwork had been done and all was ready to go for tonights big main event match. Zangief vs Jerry Kent in the main event for the World Heavyweight Title...it doesn't get much better.

Ron Grayson pinned Lovechild with the Shooting Star Legdrop in 0:14:00.
Rating: **** 1/4

The SMWA Cruiserweight Contender Tournament started with a bang tonight, with the winner of the Round Robin getting a Cruiserweight Title shot against champion Kodiak Marmoset at Back Street Brawl. Ron Grayson fought the ever game Lovechild in a hard fought match. It was power vs speed, with the big spot for Lovechild being a backdrop driver on the floor, while Grayson would latter connect with a flying leg lariat off of a chair. However, the match was disrupted by Grayson's old partner and current foe, West Bronco. Bronco came to the ring and distracted Grayson after a Shooting Star legdrop. This allowed Lovechild to hook on the Love Hug...but Grayson broke free after 48 SECONDS!!! Bronco then tried to throw a set of knucks to Lovechild, but Grayson got them first, nailed Lovechild and then the Shooting Star legdrop for the win. Not wasting a second, Grayson LEAPED over the ropes, landed on Bronco and took the fight all the way to the back.

Grant Redstone pinned Judgement with the Redstone Suplex in 0:08:29.
Rating: 3/4*

Grant Redstone was a house afire. Judgement, one of the members of the newly formed Sky Entertainment Ltd., wasn't very entertaining -- he got bounced around for the whole match. Judgement hit a brainbuster through a table, but Redstone immediately got up and hit the Redstone suplex for a big win. Then, Sky Entertainment Ltd. came to Redstone's help -- he plowed through all of them and stood alone in the ring until Saul Masters appeared on SlamVision and began to speak.

"Very impressive, Redstone. Now, if you wouldn't mind, get out of the building. Let's not forget about my little restraining order that Rasta won for you at Heatwave, hm? I can control your every action just by being there. And right now, the action involves you leaving this arena within sixty seconds, or I'll get close enough to you to make sure you spend the night in prison. How about it, Grant?"

The big Australian seethed in the ring, but realized there was little he could do. He went into the back, cursing at Saul Masters all the way back.

Sky Entertainment Ltd. (Dark Angel and Mauling Bear) defeated The Philadelphia X-Treme Machine when Bear defeated Burnz by disqualification in 0:24:38.

Slash Battle suffered an elbow injury. He will be out for approximately 1 card.

In their first title defense since winning the belts from Skarzz and Grater, the PXM lost...to MAULING BEAR AND DARK ANGEL???!!! Wow, big upset! However, it did have a little bit to do with Sky Entertainment Ltd. The PXM were at their dominating, hardcore best when Sky and his cronies came down to ringside, while the rest of the group ran interference, Highland Hell constantly attacked, distracted and belittled the PXM. Eventually, Extinct was drawn into the ring as he chased Hamish around the ring. He whalloped Hamish, Dark Angel and Mauling Bear with a pair of knucks, causing his team to be disqualified! The PXM, furious, then cleared out the ring of the rest of Sky Entertainment and brawled all the way with Highland Hell.

Ultimate Spider pinned Lantern after a backflip cradle in 0:08:20.
Rating: **** 1/4

Again with Sky Entertainment. Spider benefitted from shotty interference in what was shapping up to be a great match against Lantern to get the duke. Dark Angel tossed a frying pan to Lantern during the match...but Spider took the pan and the win.

The builing was about to explode with Nick Jones' introduction..."Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome back to the SMWA...KING RASTA!!!" Rasta came out angry. He didn't wait for Jones to ask questions, but grabbed the mic and started right in.

"Masters, I know ya be here. I know ya got Bobby witcha! You get you damn ass out here some I can go whip some sense in ya."

With that, Masters and the Sins came to ringside. Blackhook was once again holding the cage containing Bobby the Monkey. Masters got right in Rasta's face, standing nose to nose. "What's wrong, Rasta. Upset. Go ahead, hit me. Take out all of your frustrations. Don't worry about your little friend...touch me and the Sins will take care of him. Go ahead....HIT ME!!!"

Rasta seethed with anger. It looked like one of the veins in his head was about to pop right open. But he didn't advance.

"That's what I thought. But Rasta, never let it be said that I am a man who lacks compassion. I'm sure you want a chance to regain your friend...I'll give you that chance! I'll give you a shot at winning back little Bobby....on MY terms. Non-negotiable. And the first of my terms is that you get down on your knees and BEG me to give Bobby back!" Rasta's face turned deep crimson. Would he bow before the man he hated?...YES. Rasta got down on his knees, stared Masters right in the eyes with a stare that could melt steel, and asked his terms.

"Rasta, they're simple. I'll give you Bobby back. And, because I'm feeling like such a good sport, I'll even reverse a few other stipulations I've put down. I'll let Maxx free. I'll cancel the court order on
Redstone. I'll let everything be the way it was...but you have to put up your career as colatteral. You have to want to risk it all. Can you do that, Rasta?"

Rasta got up and stared Masters in the face. "Well, I guess if it aint negotiable...."

Masters was quick with a reply. "Good. To get your monkey back, you must face and beat every member of the Sins, starting right now with Glutt."

No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
King Rasta pinned Glutt with the Dread Lock Drop in 0:07:28.

Nord Fullstrom pinned Jack Slade with the Battle-Axe Kick in 0:13:32.
Rating: ** 1/2
(Nord Fullstrom won the SMWA Television Title.)

BIG upset, but it wouldn't have happened if Cody hadn't interfered. Although Fullstrom has beaten Slade everytime they've faced, it's never been clean and Slade was dominant tonight. However, Cody distracted Slade by harrasing Jessica and Nord was able to hit the the Battle-Axe Kick for the win and the belt. Slade flew backstage to find Cody after the match.

West Bronco defeated Kenji Hashimuto by disqualification in 0:08:05.

Interfering for Kenji, Ron Grayson. Nord Fullstrom comes to the aid of Bronco.

The Actor made Teknos submit to the Take-Four in 0:11:12.
Rating: *** 1/2

Good match. Take-Four is name of Actor's figure four leglock. Another match in the cruiserweight title contender tournament.

Slash Battle pinned Glutt after a bulldog headlock in 0:10:16.
Rating: -1/2*

Luck of the draw. Glutt horrible. Greed & Gluttony brawl with PXM after bout, get destroyed. Skarzz stands at ramp, stares down PXM on behalf of his team.
