Match observations:
The first card of the month started with each leader of the three stables in
KPW coming to the ring. Bret Hart said that he had enough. He talked to the
president during the week-end, and there would be a #1 contender match for the
KPW World Title tonight. The winner would meet Kurt Angle at the PPV, and
should a stable win the World Heavyweight Championship, this would prove once
and for all which entity is the most dominant in KPW. Orton and Carpentier
agreed to what was supposed to be a fair deal, but they were interupted by the
newest employee of KPW...CHRIS JERICHO! Y2J explained that his reputation was
too big to be ignored, and that upon contract signing, the president allowed
him to join the contendership match! A single wrestler against three stable
leaders...Does Y2J really stand a chance tonight?
The night kicked off with a strange match. Somehow, Nikolai Volkoff got
himself against Glacier in a match to see who would face Super Crazy for the X
Title at the next PPV. Upon hearing the news, Crazy accepted to referee the
match for a good laugh. After being tortured by 20 minutes of non-stop action
by the two has-beens, the match ended with a draw. Crazy thought he could go
on and find himself a real opponent, but Volkoff and Glacier objected! The
situation will be debated in the weeks to come to see which of the two will
face the champion. Crazy's nightmares are now reality.
In the second match, three teams wrestled to see who would be the next
contenders to S&M's titles. There was The Tap-Out Machines, the new team of
Sabu and Shamrock known as Mental Case, and...Los Conquistadors. Nobody really
know how they ended up there. Near the end, Benoit was distracted by Lance
Storm, who made his first appearance in KPW. Sabu took the occasion to pin
Uno of the Mexican Team, making his team the #1 contenders. Storm smiled as
he left for the back, with Benoit chasing him. This will surely develop in the
following weeks.
In a big upset, William Regal defeated Batista and captured the TV Title in a
rematch from their PPV match. Regal celebrated for a while, but Batista was
screaming "BATISTA ANGRY! BATISTA BETTER THAN REGAL! BATISTA WANT GOLD!".
Does that mean that he wants a rematch or that he wants a shot at a bigger
belt? I think he should get an interpret, but anyway, we should know soon.
Tiger Ali Singh wanted to establish the fact that he was better than Eddie
Guerrero by beating on the poor jobber Kid Romeo. Singh had this match in the
bag at the 4 minutes mark when all of a sudden, a toaster came from the crowd
and hit Singh right behind the head. The ref of course, didn't see that, and
Romeo picked up the win. Some people say they saw Eddie Guerrero leaving the
first row a couple of seconds later, but of course, this is just a rumour.
In his debut match, Matt Hardy defeated Meng. The beast from Tonga Island fell
victim to a Twist of Fate after a hard fight, giving Matt his first ever
victory in the circuit. Hardy hopes to keep this pace going, improving his
rating and his chance to get a shot at a belt soon.
The JBL/Ron Killings fiasco continued today. JBL, who said that he would get
some help, introduced his newest partner. Most people were expecting Virgil
to come and be his newest servant, but instead, the World got...Irwin R.
Schyster! IRS is JBL's Tax Advisor, and he faced Killings right away. JBL of
course interfered, giving the victory to his ally. Chaz, who was also asked
to be JBL's manservant, made the save for Killings. The heels retreated to
the back, with satisfaction on their face.
In Canadian Championship action, Eddie Guerrero faced Rene Dupree, making
Dupree the first member of a stable to get a shot at a title. The match
ended with Davey Boy Smith and Killer Kowalski interfering, justifying their
actions by saying "What did he do to deserve a shot? Why should he get a shot
before us?". Guerrero simply picked up the pinfall and left, not wanting
anything to do with that Stable War.
In one of the greatest feud going on at the moment, La Parka took on Angle's
bodyguard one on one, Scott Steiner. Steiner picked up the win with a brutal
double underhook piledriver. Parka never realized that Steiner could be this
dangerous when on a roid rage. The Mexican superstar will try to overcome the
odds and defeat the juiced up monster, but will he be able to do it? Will
Steiner agree to a rematch? La Parka will need to be creative to convince
the freak that he needs to step in the ring again with a air guitar playing
masked man.
In the main-event, the three stable leaders and Y2J fought for over 20 minutes
before a winner could be decided. The hatred that each stable has for each
others was the deciding factor as Hart and Carpentier were punching each others
to no end. Orton wanted to join the fray, but Jericho picked him from behind
for the Breakdown Sleeper Drop, before nailing a Lionsault for the win! Hart
and Carpentier realized too late what had just happened, which means that
Jericho is going to the PPV against Kurt Angle for the World Title! Angle
looked on from the ramp, not sure what to think. He simply clapped his hands
as he retreated to his locker room, while Jericho celebrated as the show came
to an end.

Match observations:
With three more shows before KPW's next PPV effort, titled "Anxiety", everybody
tried their best to impress and be a part of this great event. In the first
match of the night, Super Crazy defeated Jyushin Liger in a match that was
called a true classic by Dave Meltzer. The problems started after the bout.
Volkoff and Glacier, who tied last week, came in with signs saying that they
were on strike unless they were given their shot at the X Title. They were
promptly ignored, and everybody in attendance tried to forget this incident as
soon as it happened. You can bet that Volkoff and Glacier are not going to
let this happen without saying anything.
In his token title defense, William Regal faced Kid Romeo, who gained some
momentum by defeating Tiger Ali Singh last week. He was stopped in his track
as Regal made short work of him. Batista didn't show up for revenge, which is
making some people wondering where the big guy is right now. No challenger has
been determined for the PPV right now.
Sabu and Shamrock continued on their winning streak today, defeating Uno and Dos
in a less than pretty tag team match. Sabu and Shamrock are proving right now
that these two crazy mofos are almost unstoppable when united. Nobody should
forget that these two are the next challengers for S&M's titles, and Marty
Jannetty was seen quaking in his boots backstage. Reporters said that he was
seeking some comfort from Michaels, but HBK was nowhere to be found as usual.
Tension are stil rising in this team...
In the only incident of the day concerning the stable war, Owen Hart and Jim
Neidhart took on Chris Sabin and CM Punk. The Old School was on stage to see
the match, and the team of Verne Gagne and Lou Thesz confronted both teams after
the match. A brawl erupted, and many backstage are feeling that something
should be done to decide a winner in this feud. Of course, everybody wants
to be declared the most dominant force in KPW, so nobody sees it happening
soon.
Matt Hardy picked up a second win today, this time against The Hurricane. This
is his second win in a row, and a third one could put him on a streak where he
would become the #1 contender in the TV Title division. He will have a match
next week to see if he can achieve that goal.
JBL took on Chaz this week. JBL was accompanied by IRS, his tax advisor, while
Chaz was accompanied by Ron Killings. JBL was going for his patented
clothesline near the end, but it was ducked by Chaz, who executed the Burning
Hammer for the pin. JBL and IRS were frustrated, and they promised to Killings
and Chaz that they would soon be joined by somebody else to finally put an
end to their mutiny. Killings replied that there was no mutiny since they
were not his employees, to which JBL replied that they would get a salary cut.
JBL is really losing touch with reality here.
It is now official. One of KPW's most violent feud will finally end this
month at the PPV. Eddie Guerrero will face Tiger Ali Singh for his Canadian
Championship. Singh almost costed him his belt by interfering while Eddie was
wrestling Rico. Of course, Eddie still managed to defeat Rico, and then chased
Singh to the back. Will it really be over after their next match? While
everybody hopes so, chances are a bit slim.
S&M defeated The Tap-Out Machines in a rematch from the last PPV. This time,
Storm distracted the referee while Rick Martel ran in and planted Malenko with
a DDT. Jannetty covered for the win, but the real action was at ringside
where Benoit asked Storm for explanations. Storm said that he was sick and
tired of hearing everybody praise Benoit as the greatest Canadian wrestler
while he gets next to nothing. Martel, another great Canadian wrestler, seemes
to agree with Storm, so the two teamed together to take Benoit and his partner
out. A noble goal, but one that may be hard to accomplish given Benoit and
Malenko's record.
In the main-event, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner defeates Chris Jericho and La
Parka when Angle made Jericho submit to an ankle lock. Angle said that this
was a sample of what would happen at the PPV, but Jericho replied that this
was simply a fluke like the rest of Angle's title reign. The two went at it
while La Parka got his revenge on Mister Roid Scott Steiner by nailing him
with one of his trusty chair. Steiner of course destroyed a couple of things
before calming down. More will develop in these two feuds in the weeks to come.

Match observations:
You thought that this show would be great with only two weeks before the PPV?
I thought you knew KPW better than that! We started strong with Nikolai
Volkoff and Glacier coming out for a tag team match. They said that they
didn't like each others, but that they wanted their shot at the X Title. They
hoped that beating two reknowned cruiserweights would help their cause. This
caused Los Conquistadors to come out and get pinned within five minutes. WIll
anybody listen to Volkoff and Glacier? Let's hope not.
Regal maintained his grasp on the TV title by defeating Shark Boy. Regal now
has to face the winner of the Matt Hardy vs Jimmy Rave match tonight at the
PPV. Hardy, who is still undefeated since his debut, wants a shot at the
title. Rave is there because he has a good ranking, with good showings in
various cruiserweights matches agains American Dragon and El Hijo Del Santo.
That particular match was in fact won by Hardy later in the night, making
Regal vs Hardy an official match for the next PPV. This should be interesting.
Benoit finally got the face the dastardly Lance Storm.
Storm, who was accompanied by his partner Rick Martel, wrapped things up after
a long battle with a low blow away from the ref. The pin was easy, and a four
way brawl ensued between Benoit, malenko, Storm and Martel. This is far from
over I guess.
In a surprise move, JBL announced his newest helper...El Dandy? Yes, the
Mexican wrestler has been hired as JBL's servant. A peculiar choice to say the
least, but Dandy still had to face Chaz tonight while Killings is recuperating
from a house show injury in order to be ready for his tag match with Chaz
against JBL and IRS at the PPV. Well, we can say that Dandy didn't make the
greatest debut of all time as he was quickly disposed of by Chaz, who then
did what JBL hates the most...He dissed his cowboy boots. No, they were not
called cum guzzling gutter sluts, but JBL was still angry that somebody didn't
like his true Texan style. Chaz reportedly said "You are wondering why nobody
likes you? Well, takes off your stupid hat and your fucking pointy boots and
you may start making some friends." This upset JBL's entire entourage, while
Killings was heard laughing his bums off backstage.
Shawn Michaels, who still looks tired of wearing latex as a wrestling outfit,
defeated Sabu today. Sabu and Shamrock are scheduled to face S&M for the tag
team titles at Anxiety 2004. Sabu was controlling the match when he made the
mistake of going for a triple jump corkscrew suicide legdrop plancha, which
Michaels ducked before hitting the Sweet Chin Music for the surprise win.
Strange fact, for the first time since his reunion with Michaels, Marty was
not around for the bout. Dissension? I guess you could say so.
The STABLE WAR~! continued today when Randy Orton faced Edouard Carpentier,
with Bret Hart as the special guest referee. This is of course a consequence
of everything that has been brewing between the three groups lately. The match
went all the way to the 20 minutes time-limit. Bret Hart argued with both men
that he wanted a winner, so when he turned his back to tell the timekeeper to
ring the bell and continue the match, Orton booted Carpentier in the nutsack
before executing the RKO for the win. He quickly left the ring before
Carpentier could retaliate. More to come on this situation.
Tiger Ali SIngh picked up a significant win today against Magnum TA, proving to
Eddie Guerrero that he was a worthy contender to his title. Guerrero of course
only shrugged it off and walked away, angering the challenger. Magnum TA, who
suffered almost nothing but defeat since entering KPW, said that he was
retiring until he could find his concentration again. Let's hope he does it
quick.
Finally, Chris Jericho, #1 contender, defeated Kurt Angle's bodyguard, Scott
Steiner. Steiner submitted to the Walls of Jericho after a 20 minutes fight.
After the match, ANgle came to the ring and talked trash to Jericho while
Steiner was recovering. Steiner grabbed Jericho from behind and held him for
Angle. Jericho of course moved, which resulted in Angle plastering Steiner with
the belt. Jericho outsmarted the duo this time, but will he be able to do it
at Anxiety? Tune in to find out!

Match observations:
A lot of things happened on the last show before KPW Anxiety. The evening
started with Nikolai Volkoff and Glacier being granted one last chance to win
the co-contendership to the X-Title. They would get a three-way match against
Super Crazy for the belt if they could manage to defeat Los Villanos.
Unfortunately for the whole world, one of the masked wrestler fell victim to a
bearhug by Volkoff after long minutes of boring wrestling. The crowd booed,
but there is nothing we can do about it now. Let's just hope it's gonna be
gone quickly this Sunday.
Matt Hardy cemented his position as #1 contender to the TV title with a win
against Rico. William Regal, TV champion, was on commentary during the match
and he had nothing but good words for Hardy. He says that he looks forward to
wrestling with him, and he hopes they have a nice match. Wow, nothing violent
happened. I'm going to start to think that this is an episode of Gilmore
Girls.
In a quick filler match, The Masks of Justice wanted to impress everybody
with a quick, decisive win against Los Conquistadors. Shark Boy executed the
Dead Sea Drop as the third minute of the match was about to start for the win.
Some people are saying that with more performances like that, there is a good
chance that The Masks will have another title shot soon.
In a continuation fo their feud, Chaz defeated Irwin R. Schyster with a
Burning Hammer as a helpless Ron Killings was being beaten up by JBL at
ringside. Killings is supposed to be back to 100%, but the beating he took
might make him a liability during the tag team match this Sunday. Let's hope
he can recover in short time.
Marty Jannetty, who went to the ring without Shawn Michaels, was defeated by
Ken Shamrock in a one-on-one match. Most experts think that the recent
dissension between S&M will give a serious advantage during the Title match at
Anxiety. Will we see new tag team champions for the first time? Let's
remember that S&M have been holding the Tag Team gold since this federation
opened.
Malenko was able to defeat Rick Martel today. Lance Storm ran from the back
trying to save his partner, but he was cut short by Chris Benoit, who was
waiting for him. Storm was clotheslined to the floor while Martel had no
choice but to submit to the Texas Cloverleaf. Let's bet that this will make
for a stellar match on PPV.
In a title defense, Eddie Guerrero defeated American Dragon Bryan Danielson
without any real problem. After the match, Tiger Ali Singh ran in and leveled
Eddie with a toaster, which is usually Guerrero's trademark. Singh then placed
the toaster on the mat and DDTed Eddie on it. Singh then posed with the
Canadian Championship over a bloody Guerrero. Will these two end their feud
once and for all?
In a continuation of the stable war, Edouard Carpentier and Killer Kowalski
picked up the win when Kowalski made Davey Boy Smith tap out. Carpentier
prevented Hart from making the save, while Randy Orton and Rene Dupree, who
were also part of the match, were down from a running powerslam on the outside
of the ring and a vertical suplex on the concrete floor, all courtesy of The
British Bulldog. The tag-teams specialists of each factions will meet this
Sunday with the winner being the first stable members to deserve a shot at
championship gold. Bret Hart also mentioned that he had an even better idea
that he would reveal on the show following the PPV.
At the start of the evening, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner came out and took
turns verbally assaulting their respective opponents for Anxiety. Jericho
came out and said that Angle was afraid because he was not ready for a
quality opponent. Angle said that he was more than ready, and that in fact,
he would show it with a match against one of the best the business has to
offer right now...El Hijo Del Santo. Of course, let's not mention that Steiner
destroyed Santo backstage before the segment. Jericho, wanting to make things
just, entered the ring. He was soon overwhelmed, but La Parka made the save
with a steel chair.
Later in the night, Angle had more difficulty than he ever thought he would
when El Hijo Del Santo took him beyond the 20 minutes mark with a 5-star
match. In the end, Angle proved he was still ready when Santo submitted to
the Ankle Lock after a great contest. Jericho looked on as the show faded to
black.

All right. Usually, this is where people would start doing predictions on the outcomes of the PPV by judging from the build-up. In my forum, it works like this.
2 points for a correct guess
0 points for a bad guess
1 point for other things (Like a Royal Rumble runner-up)
I tally up everything, and put the predictions result at the start of the PPV. At the end of the circuit year, I add all the results and the winner gets the rights to do one administrative thing(like change a member's name). That is when it is done at my forum. Here, I guess the winner will just have my recognition and a slap on the back. I don't know if people will participate here, but who knows.
