LCW Showdown Television Results 06.11.08

LCW Showdown Television Results (June 11, 2008) live from the Winnipeg Arena in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to LCW Showdown as "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance, the LCW Showdown theme song, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena.

LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway came out and said he signed a contract last week on LCW Showdown to face Stone Cold Steve Austin at LCW SuperClash in two weeks because he needed to prove to Austin as much as he needed to prove to himself that he wasn’t better than Austin, because he honestly doesn’t think he’s going to beat Austin at LCW SuerClash, but to prove that he was man enough to step into the ring with Austin. Calaway said he had been training all week with former AWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel and would have a special exhibition match tonight with Bockwinkel. Calaway said he hadn’t been in a ring in a year, since he faced and beat The Rock at LCW SuperClash last year. Suddenly, LCW United States Champion Tully Blanchard’s entrance music began to play and Blanchard came to the ring and said that Calaway wouldn’t have beaten the Rock without his help and if Calaway needed him to insure a victory for him again this year, he would be honored to be his personal insurance policy. Blanchard said the victory over Austin at LCW SuperClash could be the first step in restoring the Entourage. Calaway thanked Blanchard, but said he didn’t need him at LCW SuperClash because he was going to face Austin like a man one on one. Calaway also said the Entourage was dead and would never ever exist again and that Blanchard needed to get over it. Calaway turned his attention away from Blanchard and went on to continue what he was saying before Blanchard came out. Out of nowhere, Blanchard attacked Calaway from behind, hitting him with the title belt. Blanchard yelled at Calaway and was going to hit him with the slingshot suplex, but Stone Cold Steve Austin stormed into the ring and hit Blanchard with the Stone Cold Stunner and Blanchard rolled out to the floor. Austin looked down at Calaway for a moment, but didn’t touch him and just walked out of the ring. From the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko asked Tony Schiavaone as Austin left ringside, “What was that Tony? Austin had a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage, to take advantage of Calaway and he didn’t take it.” Schiavone said, “Maybe Austin doesn’t think he needs the advantage?”

Missy Hyatt came out and didn’t waste any time calling out the person who had been stalking her over the past few weeks. The stalker came out and joined Hyatt in the ring and she demanded that the stalker reveal who they were. Hyatt said, “I don’t even know if you’re a man or a woman. I mean, come on, what’s your deal anyway?” The stalker got closer to Hyatt and she started backing away and the stalker eventually cornered Hyatt in the corner. Hyatt screamed until the stalker menacingly put a finger to her mouth and said, “Shhhh!” The stalker caressed Hyatt’s face and then smelt her hair and then gently touched her face before kissing Hyatt on the lips. Hollywood John Tatum ran out and went to attack the stalker, but the stalker dropkicked Tatum and clotheslined him over the top rope. As the stalker left the ring, Hyatt seemed equally confused and intrigued by what just happened. A smile momentarily appeared on her face, but she quickly jumped out of the ring to check on the fallen Tatum. However, as she checked on Tatum, she kept looking up the entrance ramp, watching the stalker leaving ringside. From the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko asked Tony Schiavone, “What the hell was that, Tony?” Schiavone responded, “Better question would be who is the stalker? We still don’t know who this person is. We don’t know if it’s a man or…I mean, could it be a woman? We still don’t know.” Zbyszko said, “I don’t know, Tony. We might have just seen some hot lesbian action. I mean, look at the stalker walk away. Come on, that's a woman if I’ve ever seen one.!" Schiavone said, "Or infamous Georgia promoter, the late, great Jim Barnett is back from the dead."

In the back, The Hart Foundation approached Demolition and Bret Hart said, “Look guys, we saw you out there and we’re just kind of wondering what makes you think that you guys deserve a title shot at LCW SuperClash for the LCW World Tag Team Championships.” Demolition Ax said they had beaten The Skyscrapers before and they would do it again, but this time for the titles. The Hart Foundation challenged Demolition to a match next week on LCW Showdown and if they could beat Demolition they would get the title shot at LCW SuperClash. Demolition agreed and said they would see the Hart Foundation next week.

LCW United States Tag Team Champions The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express defeated The Orient Express (with Mr. Fuji) in 5:19 by pinfall when Ricky Morton pinned Sato after a missile dropkick.

Jones handed the tag team titles to Barbarian and Warlord who looked at the titles and then held them above their heads and Jones raised their arms as they stood over the fallen champions.

Butch Reed and Tony Atlas (with Slick) defeated The Rock and Diamond Dallas Page in 4:59 by pinfall when Reed pinned Page after Rock hit Page with the Rock Bottom after Slick threw powder in Rock’s eyes.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Paul Jones and the Powers of Pain and Jones said, “Remember what you saw tonight. Remember the end of that match. Remember the Powers of Pain standing above the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express with the titles in their hands because that’s exactly what you’re going to see at LCW SuperClash. Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, take that beat down you just experienced as the challenge and take this as the warning: just leave the titles in the ring tonight. Don’t pick them up and don’t show up at LCW SuperClash because you won’t be walking out with the titles anyway so there’s no reason to suffer needlessly at the hands of the future LCW United States Tag Team Champions the Powers of Pain.”

In the back, a medical official was cleaning out the Rock’s eyes when Diamond Dallas Page appeared and said, “What the hell was that, man?” Rock stood up and got in Page’s face and said it was an accident just like when Page hit him with the Diamond Cutter last week on LCW Showdown. Page said that was an accident and the Rock said he was blinded by Slick and the Rock Bottom was an accident. Page said that LCW General Manager Ole Anderson had just told him that he was going to be wrestling Butch Reed next week on LCW Showdown and Tony Atlas would be banned from ringside. The Rock asked Page if he wanted him to be at ringside to be in his corner, but Page said he thought he had it handled and wouldn’t want there to be anymore “accidents”. Page walked away and the medic continued checking on the Rock.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko interviewed Manny Fernandez who was at a sports rehabilitation facility in Charlotte, NC, live via satellite. Fernandez was working out with a physical therapist after being stabbed at LCW Uprising last month by a gang of thugs. Footage was shown of the stabbing as Fernandez was coming to the aid of Tully Blanchard who initiated the altercation with the group of thugs. Footage was also shown of Tatum winning the LCW Television Championship from Fernandez. Fernandez said that his being stabbed was the luckiest thing that could have ever happened to Tatum because it was the only way Tatum could have won the title from him. Fernandez said he was focused on taking out Tully Blanchard who drove away and wouldn’t take him to the hospital after he was stabbed. Okerlund asked him how the area around the stab wound was doing and Fernandez said he was feeling good and started doing sit ups with a large weight on his chest. The physical therapist warned Fernandez to take it easy and Fernandez got off the weight bench and grabbed the physical therapist and threw him out of the gym and went back to lifting weights as the show went to commercial.
