Notable as they keep modifying the opening video package that some of the crowd shots have been removed, replaced with footage from (these are the ones I caught for sure) Mas Hysteria, Toddzilla, Al Buffet and the International Workrate Consortium.
Pyro and a throw to the announce, who hyped the semifinals of the Women’s Title tournament as well as Mayhem getting ready for Sunday in the main event before throwing to this week’s Jihad World Tour footage --
--this time, Nazir was in Mexico, facing Crusazdo del Oro for the Lucha Libre de Reyes World Championship. Nazir was in the most trouble we’ve seen him in so far in these packages, having to get his foot on the ropes after a 450 that led to a false finish. Crusazdo went up for another 450, Naz rolled through and Oro landed on his feet then caught Naz’s leg lariat attempt and got him up on his shoulders. Naz raked his eyes then hit some hammer and anvil elbows before transitioning into a WMDDT that earned him his fourth title in a different country. Weighed down with a belt on each shoulder and two around his waist, he cackled to the hard camera and held up some of his loot before saying “When is Mayhem going to learn that I’m always five steps ahead? Maybe Sunday? Sooner? Never? Somebody else who isn’t getting this fat off of title gold should answer that. I’m kinda busy.”
1) In a semifinal match in the QCW Women’s World Title tournament, Dorothy Rubyslipper beat Bettie Rokker. Bettie put up a decent fight but went down to a pair of Over the Rainbows and got pinned clean in the center. After the match Dorothy, surrounded by her stablemates, made a very familiar gesture around her waist and smiled evilly. **
2) In the other seminfinal match in the QCW Women’s World Title tournament, Summer Rose beat Bella Bathory. Around the midpoint of the match, all the seconds for both Mean Season and the Polycule were ejected. In the end, Bella missed Casting Shadows & Summer didn’t miss the Come-Up. * ½ After the match, Mean Season came out, then the Storybookers (dunno if you remember or not but they hate each other), and while they were having words Lolo Vuitton popped up on the Quarantron 8000 and wished them both good luck Sunday in a way that suggested she was actually wishing they both killed each other.
New TV title hype video, featuring rapid fire footage of pretty much the entire roster and voiceovers from various members melded in and out promising to be the first QCW TV champion when the belt was introduced.
3) “Tiki God” Al Buffett squashed Ichi-Go. DUD Only notable because as Al was leaving, one of the men in the next match came out (possibly) early, making sure to bump into the Tiki God as he marched out…
4) Toddzillo squashed Il Postino. DUD Postino rushed Toddzilla at the bell, throwing forearms then punches, ran into the ropes and got lariated into about the sixth row. There Goes Tokyo. Goodnight! Buffett, who had stayed out to watch his opponent Sunday, offered up some sarcastic claps and a “Good job, asshole!” as Toddzilla pointed at him from the ring.
Chrysalis sat on a basketball court, addressing Mas Hysteria. They said that they went from growing up having nothing together to becoming champions, which they knew would come with haters. But Hysteria took it too far when they threw Screw off the stage. A banged up Screw said he’d been shot at twice and knew the taste of government cheese, so if they were trying to shake him they better bring Tessa Thompson dressed up like Wonder Woman. More importantly, they were bringing the tag titles to Devil’s Night and in Detroit - essentially College Park North -- they were going to put the dirty dog and the feral cat to sleep.
5) Mayhem beat Anton “Teknik” Stahl by DQ. Mayhem came out to the pop of the night alongside Mason “Razorblade” Savage, and as usual the IWC came out as a unit. Story of the match was Stahl was hanging with Mayhem until he wasn’t, Mayhem landing some running forearm shots and a suspiciously familiar looking corkscrew tope con hilo off the top. He went up for his finisher, at which point the outside IWC members surrounded and then beat up Savage before shoving Mayhem off the top for the DQ. **
Grounded on the mat, Stahl locked in his Matter of Time and Mayhem screamed in pain forever as the IWC stomped away on the arm in the elevated hammerlock until some music hit - but it wasn't to set up a save -
“Don’t Even Trip”. Out strutted a smirking Nazir, weighed down with the title belts of four promotions before announcing that the Champ Champ CHAMP Champ is here to an avalanche of boos. He walked down to the ring, before pulling an envelope out of his suit pocket. You know where this is going: 25k for Windsor, 25k for Williams, and a cool 50k to Stahl for doing the dirty work. “This is what you’re doing two nights before our match, street trash? Where’s your brain? Where’s your little buddy?” Mayhem took a swing at him, which missed wildly and Nazir stepped on his injured shoulder to keep him on the mat before finishing his message:
“This isn’t just my QCW now, this is my whole damn WORLD! There’s a reason the jester never overthrows the king, and since you are so very determined to do so, Sunday you and all the precious rabble you let down every time you fail are going to flunk the final test - this was just lesson one.”
Fire up Don’t Even Trip and a livid crowd as Nazir laughed and headed to the back while EMTs came to check on Mayhem and Savage. The show concluded with the announcers excitedly saying that after cutting a deal with FITE, the opening of the PPV would be leaked Sunday afternoon ahead of the show on Q(CW)Tube.
Next: Devil's Night '21 PPV
