(bWo music hits) Welcome back to Eclipse, as SR Towers erupts with boos and jeers from this sold out crowd! SRW World Champion Rob Van Dam (AfroJoe) emerges from behind the curtain, and incenses the fans even more by lifting the belt high above his head proudly, before signalling for the rest of the bWo to follow him to the ring. SRW Rumble In The Jungle is coming up very soon, and we’re not sure yet who will be the next to challenge RVD (AfroJoe) for his Title, but we might get a clue tonight…
(Benoit’s music hits) A massive pop goes up as the first ever SRW Champion Chris Benoit (Grandprix) walks to the ring with a purpose! Last week he was involved in a battle against not just his opponent Chris Jericho (Figo), but basically the rest of the bWo as well! Benoit (Grandprix) has been wanting to get his hands on the World Champion for a while now, and tonight’s his chance in this non-title bout…but what would happen if he won? Surely that makes him no.1 contender?
Benoit (Grandprix) sees Jericho (Figo) on the outside and the two stare nose-to-nose…but Jericho dashes away as RVD (AfroJoe) leapfrogs out of the ring and straight onto the unsuspecting Benoit (Grandprix)! RVD celebrates loudly before he and Y2J pick up Benoit, and send him flying shoulder-first into the steel steps – SMASH! The match hasn’t even started yet!
Now Steve Corino (LL Cool TT), Stevie Richards and LL Cool TT have joined the party, stomping mercilessly on Benoit (Grandprix) who is desperately trying to get his feet! He shoves LL Cool TT away and scampers up, delivering a hard clothesline to the oncoming Steve Corino! Stevie Richards gets the same treatment! RVD (AfroJoe) comes at him with a Karate Kick but Benoit (Grandprix) ducks it, grabs him round the stomach and NAILS A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE – WHAM!
Benoit (Grandprix) makes his trademark cut-throat signal, the bWo are getting beaten by one man here!
CLANG!!! OH MAN, MASSIVE STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM CHRIS JERICHO (FIGO)! Benoit (Grandprix) has been bloodied, what’s happened to the match dammit! Y2J rolls Benoit into the ring, RVD is still struggling from the German Suplex though…he manages to get into the ring, and the bell finally rings, and the Champ falls straight into a cover! ONE…
TWO…
SHOULDER UP FROM BENOIT (GRANDPRIX)! He doesn’t lose them like that, and RVD (AfroJoe) looks a little frustrated. He wants to finish this here and now and he heads to the top rope, wasting no time in going for the FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH – WHAM!! NOBODY HOME, RVD (AFROJOE) CRASHES INTO THE UNFORGIVING CANVAS!
Benoit (Grandprix) seizes the opportunity and goes straight to work, whipping him into the ropes and delivering a harsh knee to the stomach! RVD tries to escape the ring but Benoit grabs his leg and pulls him back. RVD (AfroJoe) fights out of it with a sharp kick to the temple, but Benoit (Grandprix) is back with another devastating clothesline! RVD (AfroJoe) holds his neck and staggers back to the corner, where Benoit (Grandprix) hits some of those trademark Knife-Edge Chops! WHOOOOO!
Benoit (Grandprix) is in control of the match-up as the bWo watch helplessly from ringside – Benoit plants the Champ with a textbook Overhead Suplex! RVD (AfroJoe) can do nothing against this onslaught from the angered Benoit (Grandprix), who makes the cut-throat signal again! He climbs to the top rope, signals to the adoring fans, AND LEAPS – WHAM! BENOIT (GRANDPRIX) FLIES THROUGH THE AIR LIKE A TORPEDO, HIS HEAD SMASHING INTO THE TORSO OF ROB VAN DAM (AFROJOE)! IT COULD BE ALL OVER!
ONE…
TWO…
KICK-OUT FROM THE CHAMP! Great resilience from both men here in this match-up, but unfortunately for RVD (AfroJoe) and the bWo, Benoit (Grandprix) isn’t finished yet! HE’S LOOKING FOR THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE!
RVD (AfroJoe) fights out of it though and looks for a Roundhouse Kick, but Benoit (Grandprix) grabs his leg in mid-air and laughs…WHAM! ENZIGURI KICK FROM RVD (AFROJOE)! THAT COULDA KNOCKED BENOIT OUT!
And just like that the unfathomable SRW World Champion turns the match on its head, as he bounces off the ropes and hits an amazing ROLLING THUNDER!
Benoit (Grandprix) rolls away and tries to recover, somehow getting to his feet, but RVD (AfroJoe) is on the top rope in a matter of seconds and looking for a FLYING KARATE KICK – BUT BENOIT (GRANDPRIX) DUCKS AND HE NAILS REFEREE EARL HEBNER (MR SNUGGLY) INSTEAD!
RVD (AfroJoe) stands over the fallen referee and looks a little confused, he obviously didn’t mean that…BENOIT (GRANDPRIX) FROM BEHIND, INTO THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! THE CROSSFACE HAS BEEN APPLIED FROM NO WHERE, AND THE CHAMP IS SCREAMING IN PAIN! I CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME RVD (AFROJOE) TAPPED IN AN OFFICIAL MATCH!
HE TAPS! THE CHAMPION HAS LOST! But wait…there’s no referee dammit! JERICHO (FIGO) WITH A BRUTAL KICK TO THE BACK OF BENOIT’S HEAD! And he follows this up with an amazing LIONSAULT!
Like scavengers the bWo are picking apart Benoit (Grandprix) as the referee struggles to recover, LL Cool TT talking trash to the rabid wolverine throughout!
“CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA!?” Wait, what the hell is this!? IT’S BOOKER T (RM18)! To the crowd’s delight Booker T (RM18) is sprinting to the ring, it looks like he’s seen enough! The bWo meet him as he enters the ring but he knocks Steve Corino and Stevie Richards down, and then sends them both out of the ring!
He ducks an attempted clothesline from Y2J (Figo) and then takes him out too with a Spinning Heel Kick! RVD (AfroJoe) doesn’t know what to do, and he panics and tries to get out of the ring, but Booker (RM18) pulls him back and delivers a harsh kick to the stomach! We know what’s coming now! SCISSORS KICK – WHAM! RVD (AFROJOE) IS DOWN AND OUT!
Earl Hebner (Mr Snuggly) is just about to get to his feet and Booker T (RM18) quickly escapes the ring and into the relative safety of the crowd, as Chris Benoit (Grandprix) somehow hooks the leg of RVD (AfroJoe)! ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!! THE CHAMPION HAS LOST! BENOIT (GRANDPRIX) WINS THE MATCH!
Benoit (Grandprix) celebrates to raucous applause from the fans, when was the last time RVD (AfroJoe) lost in singles action!? But then he sees Booker T (RM18) in the crowd, and the two men stare at each-other…maybe Benoit (Grandprix) feels he didn’t need the help. And what was Booker (RM18)’s motive? And does this mean that Benoit (Grandprix) is the new no.1 contender?
All these questions will hopefully be answered next week, and I’m sure the bWo will want to get their hands on Booker T (RM18) as well!

POP for RM18!
I'm gonna give you a Booker T promo this week, if that's okay Russ? You'll need to read this obviously. {:) I think you can see where I'm heading for the SRW Title main event...

CROWD CHANTS: WE WANT PROMO! WE WANT PROMO! WE WANT PROMO!
I think the ball is in Booker T's court as regards the promo.
Good match. There were times that I'd thought both men had won. The match seemed to go backwards and then forwards all the way through. :) A nice win for Benoit in the end though against all the odds with the help of Booker T. Whats Up With That?! It'll be interesting to find out Bookers motives in helping out the Ravid Wolverine. Well done Ant. :)
Great match! It would be good if RM18 and Grandprix did a promo, especially RM18 explaining why he helped :) Excellent match and go Booker T!
Beautiful 'against all odds' victory! The bWo are a curse on this fed and Benoit is going to eradicate them! :)
What was the reasoning behind the Booker T interruption? It was certainly a factor in Benoit's win. Nice stuff as we head to Rumble in the Jungle.
