Hybrid Championship Wrestling

Singles Match
Scott Steiner v Brodie Lee

A similar story to last week with the entrance of Steiner, the crowd giving Steiner a good pop and a poor reaction to Lee who was alone. The match at the start was pretty back and forth, with both brutes sending each other to the floor. A couple of near falls occurred when Steiner showed great strength to get Lee up to the top rope and nailed a Super Samoan Drop, and then a little later on Lee nailed a Discus Clothesline, but that only got a two count. Lee took a slow walk around Steiner with a few stomps, and set up for the Cut-Throat Driver, but Scott countered into a DDT and locked in The Recliner.

He has it synced in but then all of a sudden, the camera cuts backstage to a random corridor with Rick Steiner. He's near a locker room and kicking the door down and finally it springs open. We are guessing by Scott Steiner's reaction in the ring that it his locker room. This is confirmed as after taking a look in a few lockers, Rick has found Scott's famous lead pipe. He wields it and addresses the camera.

RS: What's yours is mine, isn't that right...we are brothers after all! Cheers for this!

Scott turns right back round to Brodie Lee who is recovering from The Recliner. Scott kicks him in the gut and lifts him up for a Screwdriver. Lee slides through with a backslide which only gets a two count. They meet in the middle and Lee hits a massive Big Boot. He then scoops him up for a Cut-Throat Driver for the three count!

Winner: Brodie Lee via a Cut-Throat Driver in 12:06

Both guys received boos but Bret got the loudest and that wasn't even close. Bret was not happy with the crowd chanting Elijah's name as he lifted the Global Champinship before the match started. Magnus had Regal at his side.

For twelve minutes, Bret and Magnus had a back-and-forth affair, with Bret's aggressiveness and technical savvy meeting Magnus's advantage in power and Regal's involvement.

The ending came with Magnus in control. He tried to hit the Mag Daddy Driver but Bret slid out of trouble and then brought Magnus down to try to lock in the Sharpshooter. Magnus would push Bret away with the strength of his legs. Bret wouldn't let him breathe, having him in position for a bulldog. Magnus swiftly tries to counter it with a back suplex but Bret shows his athleticism and lands on his feet before rolling up Magnus for the three count!



Tenay: Bret picks up the win...

Ventura: You see why he is the Global Champion... Uncanny wrestling ability... Elijah Burke will be unable to have an answer for everything Bret will throw at him...


Tenay: Well, well... Here comes the number one contender...

Ventura: What is he doing here... And Rock with him, as well...

Coach: Well, they are in the next match, I believe. But I will make sure nothing else happens, though.

Coach leaves the set as Bret and Elijah are exchanging heated words. We can hear Elijah call Bret "Hogan's B1tch" which the crowd picks up. That almost gets Bret to start up a fight but seeing that he is alone and he has two enemies in front of him, he simply decides to leave.

Tenay: That was almost a fight between them... I wonder how our GM will be able to keep them at bay before Ladder Wars... We'll be back with some tag team action.

Before this match started we were told on commentary that Scott Steiner had refused to utter an apology for last weeks actions, therefore he had been removed from the building.



Well, there was plenty to talk about in that matchup. We saw the rekindling of a great rivalry every time Rock locked horns with the former Synergy Tag Team Champions. Of course, the announcers reminded the viewers that Rock and Cena had two great battles with the Shield and lost both times.

But there was a little more respect between these guys this time around... Didn't mean the match lacked intensity as it wouldn't be normal to see these guys not fight with plenty of intensity. All four guys showed their best stuff but the Shield thought they had the match won after Elijah felt victim to the Superman Punch/Spear combo but Rock made the save at the last second.

After a couple of minutes of full chaos, Rollins and Rock were the legal man. Rock was in control after catching Rollins with the Spinebuster and went for the People's Elbow but Rollins rolled out of the way. He then hit the Turnbuckle Powerbomb and was going to go for the Curb Stomp... But when he arrived into the ropes, he was on the receiving end of a steel chair shot by the bastard that is Kevin Owens. That staggers Rollins right into the arms of Rock, who hits the Rock Bottom for the three count and the win.




Tenay: Can you tell me, Jesse, what business had Kevin Owens to get involved at the end?

Ventura: I dunno. You can ask him if you want...

Coach: And I think... Yeah, Rock and Elijah have just seen the replay of what happened and they aren't pleased. But yeah, I would also like to know what business he had here and I'll talk with my Director of Operations after the show to decide what we do with that situation.

Tenay: Anyway, not sure it will be a wise decision by the Golden Generation member. We'll be back in a moment.




For Shamrock, he needed a win badly as he lost last week to another S.C.U.M. member. For Delirious, it was a chance to humiliate his opponent even more. Of course, the rest of S.C.U.M. was with him but the ref made sure to remind Jacobs of the consequences of any member getting involved.

Shamrock showed throughout the match how much he wanted to win and he used his size and MMA skills to take control of the first part of the match... But yet again, he got distracted by Jacobs and that allowed Delirious to fight back and control the second part of the bout.

Shamrock would fight back, though, with his intense offense. He even locked in the Ankle Lock right in the middle of the ring but as Delirious was about to probably tap, the rest of S.C.U.M. jumped inside the ring and caused the DQ.



Tenay: Butcher, Lee and Jacobs are all over Shamrock right now!

Coach: S.C.U.M. wants Shamrock out of their way and they are looking to do so here!

Jacobs tends to Delirious, who's slightly favoring his right ankle. The crowd responds when Shamrock ends up knocking down Lee and then throwing Butcher out of the ring. Delirious then tries to charge at Shamrock but gets back body dropped over the top rope. That leaves for a moment Jacobs and Shamrock all alone. But as Ken went to try to finally get his hands on Jacobs...

Ventura: This is what we call one hell of a lariat!

Tenay: Lee just saved Jimmy's ass from quite an epic beatdown.

Coach: Security! Make sure to keep it under control!

Security comes as Jacobs mocked Shamrock, telling him that he'll never even get close to him. We go to a commercial break as security arrives to keep this calm.



Savage got moderate cheers, while Goldberg got about the same level as Boos. Goldberg seemed to be on a mission after a nice win over Scott Steiner last week. The multi time former Global Champion was actually rarely threatened by The Macho Man, which the match length may not suggested. It was the usual array of slams and suplexes by Goldberg, with a couple of quick spurts by Savage broke up and slowed down Goldberg's offence. It ended with an impressive win for Goldberg, as two Spears and two Jackhammers was definitely good enough for the win.

Winner: Bill Goldberg in 10:07

Taz comes out first to a big cheer, followed by Jacobs with all three members of S.C.U.M. Jacobs starts off by leaning in the corner and smiling. The referee tries to get him to come in but Taz comes at him in the corner with fists and elbows. Jacobs gets beaten down in the corner before Taz hits an Angry Man’s Clothesline in the corner, before he goes to follow up with a belly-to-belly, but Jacobs drops down to the mat and rolls out. Taz calls out to him over the rope as Jacobs grabs both of his legs and pulls him down and drags him out. Jacobs kicks him guts and tosses him into the guardrail before flaunting to the crowd for a moment. Jacobs gets up onto the apron and continues before noticing Taz gets to his feet. Jacobs dives to the outside with a cutter on the outside, taking both men out. Jacobs and Taz start getting counted out before Jacobs makes his way to his feet first. Jacobs grabs Taz and throws him in the ring. Jacobs then hits his new signature move, as he does a headstand on the top rope before transitioning into a split-legged moonsault. Taz kicks out at two before Jacobs starts stomping on him.

Jacobs attempts a double underhook move, but Taz spins out and nails a overhead belly-to-belly across the ring. Jacobs gets back up and goes for a single leg dropkick but Taz catches him with a capture suplex into the turnbuckle. Taz gets riled up and hits a half-nelson suplex. He covers, but Jacobs gets his foot on the bottom rope only just. Taz gets him back up and goes for a German but Butcher grabs Jacobs leg near the ropes. The referee sees and yells to the outside. Butcher lets go, but Jacobs grabs hold of the top rope, so Taz flies backwards during his German attempt. Jacobs springboards off the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Taz catches him with a exploder suplex. Jacobs leans back in the corner as Taz goes for a body block, but Jacobs tucks back over the rope and nails a kick to the face. Jacobs comes back out but Taz, almost unphased by the kick, nails a head and arm suplex. Taz comes back at him with a clotheline, but Jacobs somehow nails a new move to his repertoire, a pop-up cutter. Jacobs covers and Taz only just kicks out, angering Jacobs, who goes up to the referee. He pokes the referee in the chest who yells back. Jacobs turns back to Taz but nails a superkick to the referee, much to the crowd’s dismay. Jacobs turns around to Taz locking in the Tazmission and taking him down to the ground. The referee calls for the disqualification.


The referee gets Taz to release the move, before he rolls to the outside quickly. Lee, Delirious and Butcher roll into the ring as the result of the match is announced. Jacobs ignores Taz and climbs to the top rope to celebrate his so-called win, as the referee holds up Taz’s arm walking up the ramp.



The first entrance was not made by Rick Steiner, or even Jeff Hardy, but was in fact made by Taz who joined the commentary team. Coach offered his seat and headset for this, as Coach declared that he'd prefer to watch this from ringside. He went to shake the hand of Taz, who very very reluctantly shook it, though he didn't look pleased about doing so. The Director of Operations came out next to boos. Coach awaited him in the ring and Coach embraced Steiner as he entered. Titan was there too, looking fully unimpressed by the situation. He looked even less impressed when Rick Steiner produced the pipe for him to hold. He and Coach stood at ringside as the Universal Champion made his way to ringside, doing the usual face stuff of hand slapping and posing for the crowd. We actually got formal introductions for this one, with Coach cutting Justin Roberts off mid hometown and introducing Rick Steiner himself, before leaving Roberts to do Hardy on his own.

The start of the match was mixed, with the two obviously wanting to keep it at their own tempo. It was fair to say Hardy got out the blocks first, early on he delivered what seemed like a Leg Drop to every bit of Rick Steiners body, before a Sprinboard Clothesline nearly sent Rick out of the ring. Rick recovered on the ropes, and Hardy looked to perhaps propel them both over the top, but Rick beautifully back body dropped Hardy over, but Hardy had an even more beautiful counter to that, and landed on his feet. Rick surprised probably a lot of people when he followed that up with a lovely Baseball slide to send Hardy crashing back first into the barricade. Rick stayed in the ring, messing around and doing press ups while Jeff recovered. Jeff returned with a bang though and hit a lovely Alley Oop before giving Taz a good glare while he hit an audacious Tazmissionplex. Taz made a grumble on commentary, but it didn't matter too much as Rick did a pretty sharp kick out.

Rick needed to get on top and he did. Jeff tried a Springboard Leg Drop and Rick rolled out of the way and immediately began his non too fancy offence. A few Steinerlines and Headbutts soon was followed by Rick going up to the top rope. From up there, he imitated his brother's posing and went for an Elbow Drop, but Jeff, similar to Rick earlier rolled out of the way too. Rick made several noises complaining, but Jeff could only cover for a two count. Jeff went up to the top rope and was perhaps looking for a Whisper in the Wind, but Rick hit a wicked dropkick in midair. Rick hit a big German Suplex, and stalked Hardy from behind and nailed another one. He then went to the top, and flew off the ropes looking for the flying Bulldog. He nailed it for a 2 count only.

A bit later, Jeff tried one of them Diving Bulldogs himself, he got it but it didn't look quite as polished as Steiners. Hardy took control with another couple of leg drops and a successful Whisper in the Wind which sent Rick to the outside. Rick was resting on the barricade but Hardy laid into him with another few shots before going over to the steel steps and separating them, before putting a pair near Rick. He then takes a long run up and hits a Poetry in Motion style manoeuvre to Rick who falls to his feet. Once up, Jeff sends Rick's head into the announce table near where Taz is, before sending him back in. Jeff grabs Rick and manages to hit the Inverted Twist of Fate, but that's only good for two, albeit Rick got his foot on the rope.

Rick came flying back with body shots and a Steinerline. He picked Hardy up and flung him across the ring with a Last Call fallaway slam. Hardy recovered in the corner only for Steiner to come flying back at him with a Poetry in Motion himself, but it looked poor. Steiner got ahold of Hardy and hit a Northern Lights Suplex and bridged but Hardy kicked out again. Steiner then measured Hardy for the big one, the SSD. He only got him so far up before Hardy countered with a roll up. Steiner kicked out and came back with a huge Steinerline. That was a cue to lock in The Recliner, and he did! Centre of the ring and Hardy was struggling. There was no way he was getting back to the ropes as he did try a couple of times. When it all looked over for him, in one desperate move however he stood up with all his strength and managed to backdrop Steiner to get him to release it!

First up from that was by far Rick, who was furious, so got ahold of the Lead Pipe from Titan who was reluctant to give it back. The referee wouldn't allow it to be used though, so Rick threw it, annoyed out of the ring towards the announce table. Jeff was waiting behind Rick though and hit a Twist of Fate! The crowd popped as they knew the end was near! Jeff went right up top and looked for the Swanton, but all of a sudden he was distracted by Taz. Taz left his seat on commentary and walked towards the Lead Pipe. He picked it up, and walked close to Hardy, but made a slow detour to give it back to Titan. He then returned to his seat. By now, Jeff had lost all chance of a Swanton as Rick was back to his feet and looking groggy. Jeff tried for a Cross Body but Rick rolled it through and scooped Jeff on his shoulders for the SSD! He nailed it and that's all she wrote for Hardy as the ref counts to three!

Winner: Rick Steiner via an SSD in 15:59
Match Rating: ***3/4

Ventura and Tenay say how shocked they are while Coach is jubilant in the ring. That's all for Collision as the credits roll!
