NIGHT OF CAHMPIONS VII : WHEN WORLD’S COLLIDE
OCTOBER 16, 2006
PITTSBURGH, PA
XCW ARENA
The show opens with highlights of the 5 men trying to capture the World Heavyweight Title from Goldberg. There are little interview clips woven through out saying as to why or how they will win the Elimination Chamber. The video ends with Goldberg standing in the Chamber, with the World Title belt around his waist. The camera zooms in and he yells…”YOUR ALL NEXT!!!!”
TOURNAMENT TO DETERMINE #1 CONTENDERS TO THE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES
ROUND 1
PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK (smackdown tag team champions) VS ROB VAN DAM & SABU (ecw)
This was an incredible tag team match to open up with as both teams have speed and reckless abandon. But it was the champions moving on as Kendrick delivered a Sliced White Bread on Sabu, sending him crashing through a table and picking up the pin. Winners via pinfall and advancing to the Semi-finals London & Kendrick (12:11)
NATHAN BLACK & FRANKIE KAZARIAN (tna) VS DX (raw)
Not much of a challenge as HHH & HBK destroyed the first time team put out by TNA. They pinned Black after a combination Sweet Chin Music/Pedigree. Winners via pinfall, and advancing to the semi-finals DX (5:41)
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR SHOT AT XCW TITLE AT A LATER DATE
PROMETHEUS VS SYLAS STYLES VS BROCK LESNAR
This was an intense, physical match that saw all 3 men bloodied. In the end though Prometheus picked up a cheap win as Sylas & Lesnar almost forget about the XCW Legend and concentrate on them selves. Prometheus even went as far as to have a seat at the announce table and call a bit of the action between his two opponents. Finally though Sylas hit his finisher on Lesnar and both men look exhausted. Prometheus quickly jumped in the ring, hit the Fire From Heaven on Sylas and covered Lesnar for the 3 count. Winner via pinfall, Prometheus. (18:22)
SEMI-FINALS OF TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT
DX VS LONDON & KENDRICK
The all WWE semi-final was worse than expected as the Smackdown Champs appeared to almost lay down for DX. Whether it was fatigue from the grueling match or a direct order from Vince McMahon, we will never know, but it was Michaels & Helmsley moving on to face the Night Breed later. Winners via pinfall DX (6:32)
Highlights from the XCW Hall-of-Fame ceremony played. The event was held the night before with stars from all over the wrestling world in attendance.
SPECIAL LEGENDS TRIBUTE MATCH
“GOLDEN BOY” DENIS GREGORY w/Drew Lazario VS MIKE QUACKENBUSH
A great match between two of the best wrestlers, never to make it to the BIG TIME. Gregory’s long time manager, and Latrobe, Pa was at ringside for this special match. The two men were all over the ring, showing the fans what put XCW on the map 7 years ago. The match ended in a draw as the time limit ran out. Afterwards both men received standing ovations. Both men hugged and shook hands Time-Limit Draw (20:00)
DRAGONFYRE VS CHRISTIAN CAGE
Christian once again was pitted against a larger opponent and this time was not so lucky as Dragonfyre hit the Reignfyre for the pin. Once again the black man came from under the ring and attacked Dragonfyre. Hitting him with what appeared to be an Angle Slam. The masked man then climbed the top rope and landed with a frog splash to the gut of Dragonfyre. He then went to help Christian Cage and appeared to be a TNA member, but then delivered a short clothesline and a Frog Splash as well. The masked man walked up the ramp and teased like he was going to remove his mask, but instead continued to the back as the crowd booed. Winner via pinfall Dragonfyre (13:52)
WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES
THE NIGHT BREED[c] VS DX
This technically was DX’s third match of the night, but neither match went much more than 5 minutes. This one was much more of a test for the two former multi-time WWE Champions. The speed and Youth of Vampiro & Bludmoone was used to their advantage, but soon the experience & strength of DX took over and HHH pinned Vampiro after a Pedigree. Winners & NEW World Tag Team Champions…DX (14:45)
ELIMINATION CHAMBER FOR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
GOLDBERG (xcw)[c] VS JOHN CENA VS KING BOOKER (smackdown champion) VS BIG SHOW (ecw champion) VS JEFF JARRETT (tna) VS KURT ANGLE {xcw/tna)
The match started with King Booker & Big Show in the ring. The Smack Down & ECW Champions respectively. Booker was doing all he could to get Show off of his feet, but just couldn’t get the big man down. It was time for the next wrestler to be released into the Chamber, and it was XCW/World Champ, Goldberg. Right away Show and Booker turned to take on Goldberg together. Goldberg was fighting off both men even tying up the Big Show in the ropes as he delivered a Jackhammer to Booker to get the pin and eliminate him. Jeff Jarrett was the next one in the match, followed by John Cena 5 minutes later. And then finally Kurt Angle entered. It was eveident that the two men everyone wanted gone were Big Show and Goldberg. Angle and Jarrett were working as a team and that allowed Jarrett to eliminate Big Show after Angle tossed him through one of the glass holding cells. But Jarrett himself was quickly eliminated as Goldberg speared him through another of the cells and Goldberg got the pin. Now it was time for Cena to make his presence known and step up and take his spot as the top man in the business. Cena finished off both Angle and the Goldberg with a FU to win the Elimination Chamber and the World Title.
