NOTE: I had this in on time way before the show got posted, but that silly goose Adam forgot to post it on the staff board. So here it is.
Amber Ashe: "The following contest is an Eight Man Elimination Tag Team Match! A wrestler is eliminated from the match when he is pinned, forced to submit, disqualified, or counted out. The match will continue until all members of one team have been eliminated. Introducing first...."
{'Born in the USA' hits in the arena, and the crowd immediately shows their displeasure. The World Tag Team Champions step out onto the stage and hold their belts high in the air as the music rages on. Team America walks down the entrance ramp with swagger as Amber Ashe introduces them.}
Amber Ashe: "At a combined weight of five hundred and eighty pounds.... They are your reigning NCW World Tag Team Champions.... Simon Daye and Gib... TEAM AMERICA!"
{Simon Daye reaches the ring first and pulls himself up onto the apron as Gib marches up the steps. They climb into the ring and raise their title belts high once again as the crowd looks on.}
Eric Hardy: "There they are folks. Your World Tag Team Champions. A title once held by the man to my left, Dave Holland."
Dave Holland: "And say what you will about these guys, but this title reign is unprecedented."
Willy Carter: "There's no precedent, baby!"
{The lights go out. Then fire bursts from the stage. The lights return as "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce hits the speakers. El Dragon de Valor emerges from the entryway and raises his arms in the air.}
Amber Ashe: "And their teammates... First... From Mexico City, Mexico.... Weighing in at one hundred and eighty-five pounds.... El DRAGON DE VALOR!"
{As the luchador makes his way down to the ring and climbs in, we see Bushido storming down the ramp after him. El Dragon turns back around and sees Bushido sliding into the ring, and the two come nose-to-nose. Gib steps in between the two men and separates them as they stare each other down.}
Willy Carter: "I knew these two had beef with each other, but this thing could explode at any second! Gib's going to have to keep those boys in line."
Eric Hardy: "Easier said than done. As is the case with most breakups, these two want each others' blood."
Dave Holland: "What kind of women are you dating, Eric?"
Amber Ashe: "And from Osaka, Japan... Weighing two hundred and twenty pounds.... BUSHIDO!"
{The two Internationals are still being kept at arm's length apart by Gib, while Simon Daye smirks in the corner.}
{The opening riff of Had Enough by Danko Jones begins to play over the sound speakers as the lights in the arena begin blinking black, green, and blue. The crowd begins to cheer as two cool dudes with attitude come strutting out from the back. Steve Awesome goes to the left, Rob Diamond goes to the right and they yell into the crowd taunt them and pumping themselves up. They strut down to the ring and climb into the ring, they stand side by side and hold up there arms into crosses.}
Amber Ashe: "And their opponents... First... At a combined weight of four hundred and sixty-five pounds.... Steve Awesome and Rob Diamond.... This is INFAMOUS!"
{They both hit the cross chops as the “X” pyros shoot out in the background. Steve drops down to both knees and flexes at the same time Rob does a final cross chop as one big X flies up and green pyro rain from the sky. They toss there InFamous T-Shirts to the crowd and get ready for the ass whippin, standing at the bottom of the ramp.}
Dave Holland: "It's good to see these two back in the ring as team again, and boy do they want to get a piece of Simon Daye."
Willy Carter: "Apparently everyone except Sidney does. ZING!"
Eric Hardy: "Two NCW legends in one tag team? They're practically unbeatable."
{The lights in the arena dim and the screen fills up with images of Xavier Cross and Will Washington training in the Russian winter. 'Hearts on Fire' by John Cafferty fills the arena as the fans go crazy, nearly cheering themselves into a coma. Washington and Cross step onto the entrance ramp as fireworks shower down from the sky. The two men nod to each other before making their way down the ramp, with Cross high-fiving fans as they go.}
Amber Ashe: "And their partners.... At a combined weight of four hundred and sixty-seven pounds..... WILL WASHINGTON AND XAVIER CROSS!"
{The two wrestlers reach the bottom of the ramp where InFamous stands, and the four quickly make their way into the ring as the heel team scatters. InFamous poses on the ropes as Cross and Washington fist bump.}
Eric Hardy: "This is going to be quite the formidable team. InFamous is well-established, and Cross and Washington are the best of friends. Plus unlike the opposition, they actually get along."
Willy Carter: "We'll see how well they get along once Cross realizes he's on Diamond's sloppy seconds. Or more accurately, Diamond had Falcon's sloppy seconds, and Cross is somewhere in the sloppy late teens."
Dave Holland: "Speaking of sloppy teens.... nah too easy. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this huge Eight Man Tag, though."
{The InFamous team decides that Steve Awesome will be starting off this match, and El Dragon chooses himself to start it off for American Internationals. Steve and Dragon begin to circle the ring before locking up in the center. Steve easily overpowers El Dragon, putting him in a Side Headlock. Dragon reaches up and pulls his arm, transitioning Awesome into a Hammerlock. Awesome reaches back with his free arm and hooks Dragon under the chin, ducking down and throwing the luchador to the mat with a Snapmare. Dragon gets up quickly and charges, allowing Steve to catch him with a Arm Drag, and hook him, twisting his arm. With Steve twerking his arm, Dragon kips up to his feet, where Steve immediately pulls his head and slams him back down to the mat. Dragon kips up again, and Awesome twists his arm, lifting and dropping El Dragon with the Hammerlock Backdrop. El Dragon gets to his feet, shaking his arm, and is caught by a kick to the gut from Awesome. The 'Face of the Franchise' hits the ropes and comes off with a big knee to the gut/chest that sends Dragon stumbling backwards. Awesome pulls Dragon in and looks for the Swinging Neckbreaker, but as he does, El Dragon spins free and throws a kick, which is caught. Awesome throws Dragon's leg away, but the luchador responds with a Dragon Whip Kick that sends Awesome falling back into the ropes. El Dragon De Valor backs Awesome up and sends him into the ropes, catching him with a big leaping Hurricanrana as he rebounds. Dragon holds Awesome's arm and keeps him restrained as he makes the tag to Simon Daye. Daye leaps over the top rope and comes down with a stomp across the wrist of Steve Awesome.}
Willy Carter: "Seeing some teamwork already... but from Dragon and Daye?"
Dave Holland: "Strange bedfellows, indeed."
{Simon Daye helps Awesome to a seated position before hitting the ropes and coming off, nailing a Running Knee to the Face. He drops down for the cover. 1... Awesome immediately kicks out, and Daye lifts him to his feet. Simon pulls Awesome into Vertical Suplex position before lifting him sky-high. Awesome falls over and lands on his feet, hitting the ropes and coming off with a Running Forearm Smash that knocks Daye to his backside. Awesome quickly moves to the corner and makes the tag to Rob Diamond, who practically flies into the ring. Daye scoots back across the ring and reaches up, tagging Bushido into the match.}
Eric Hardy: "Simon Daye just made it blatantly clear that he wants no part of Rob Diamond, and after what he did to Diamond last week, I don't blame him."
Willy Carter: "He's just picking his battles, Hardy."
{Bushido climbs into the ring and immediately fires off a chop to the chest that Rob Diamond shrugs off. Another chop from Bushido yields the same results... and another has little effect. Meanwhile Simon Daye distracts the referee for a moment, allowing Bushido to poke Diamond squarely in the eyes. Diamond blindly walks right into a Judo Throw from Bushido... quickly gets to his feet, only to be Judo Thrown again. On the outside, Simon puts a hand over his eyes and mocks Diamond, to jeers from the crowd. Bushido pulls Rob to his feet and lifts him, spinning and planting him hard into the mat with a Spinebuster. Simon Daye is practically begging for a tag, but Bushido has no interest in tagging out yet. Bushido helps Diamond to his feet again before lifting him up for the Hook Turn. Rob slides off the back and spins Bushido around, driving him to the mat with a Facebuster. Bushido's head bounces off the mat and he flies back to his feet, holding his jaw. The Japanese star swing at Diamond, who ducks it and boots him in the gut. Diamond hits the ropes and comes off, taking Bushido down with a Scissor Kick to the back of the head.}
Dave Holland: "What a decapitating kick there by Diamond."
{Rob Diamond tags in Washington, who immediately ascends to the top rope, and comes flying down across Bushido's back with Shadows Over Hell. Washington rolls Bushido over onto his back and goes for the pin. 1.... 2. The Japanese star kicks out quickly. Washington gets to his feet and stomps down onto Bushido's torso, causing him to sit up. Washington then hits the ropes and comes off, nailing the Sudden Impact Clothesline. Bushido rolls to his stomach and pushes up to his feet with assistence from Will. The 'Patriotic Paragon' pulls Bushido in and motions for the DDT, but Bushido breaks free and pulls Washington in, lifting and slamming him with the Skydiver. Bushido holds Washington's legs and drags him towards the corner, where he tags Simon Daye back into the match. The smaller half of the Tag Team Champions climbs into the ring and puts the boots to Washington with some quick stomps. He then drags Washington to his feet, but Washington responds with a left-handed punch. Daye immediately plants a boot into his gut, causing him to lean forward, and allowing Simon to pull him into Piledriver position. Daye turns towards Rob Diamond and looks at him while holding Washington in the air for the Piledriver, before dropping him into the mat with the Piledriver. Daye lays across for the cover, placing a forearm across Will's face. 1.... 2.. Kick out.}
Willy Carter: "Simon Daye has that swagger tonight! He was looking Diamond dead in the eyes."
Eric Hardy: "We'll have to see how he reacts if he ever actually has to square off with Diamond."
{Daye guides Washington to his feet and spins around behind him, locking on a Full Nelson. While he holds Washington in place, Gib tags himself into the match and Headbutts Will. While Daye exits the ring, Gib sends Washington into the ropes and catches him with the Battering Ram Headbutt to the gut, causing Will to drop to his knees. After a moment of recovery, Gib powers Washington up and slams him to the mat with the Body Slam. Gib then drags Washington into position and tags in Daye before climbing to the second rope. Daye heads to another turnbuckle and climbs, and both men leap for the Double Fist Drop they call The Patriot Punch. Will rolls out of the way, and both mens' fists connect only with the hard canvas. Washington pushes himself up to his feet and watches as Gib gets to his feet, before charging and stepping up on the back of the kneeling Simon Daye, and leaping off, nailing a Bionic Elbow shot to Gib. Washington then Irish Whips Daye into the corner and nails a Stinger Splash, before tagging in Xavier Cross.}
Dave Holland: "Both teams are showing surprisingly good teamwork so far. Can they keep this up?"
Eric Hardy: "If they want to win this thing, they'd better."
{Xavier Cross hops over the top rope and watches as Simon Daye tries to crawl towards the corner. The former National Champion grabs him by the leg and pulls him back towards the center of the ring, before pulling him to his feet. Daye tries to back away, but Cross delivers a Backhanded Chop that elicits a 'WOOO!' from the crowd. Cross then spins around, delivering a Spinning Back Elbow Thrust to the gut of Daye, knocking the wind out of him... and follows it up with a Shoot Kick that knocks Daye to the mat. Cross stands over the fallen opponent with his back towards him before leaping in the air and nailing a Standing Moonsault. He hooks the leg for the pin. 1.... 2.. Daye kicks out. Xavier then heads to the second rope and watches as Daye gets to a vertical base, before leaping off and hitting a Diving European Uppercut. Cross then guides Daye to his feet, but before he can act, Daye pushes him back and spins, nailing Cross in the jaw with the Have a Good Daye Backfist! Xavier slumps to the mat and Daye quickly crawls over for the pin. 1.... 2... Cross kicks out. Both men lay on the mat as the crowd starts to cheer for the hot tag. Simon makes it to the corner first and dives, tagging in El Dragon De Valor, who runs over and stops Cross from making a tag.}
Willy Carter: "How much does it have to suck to be that close to a tag, and still not get it?"
Dave Holland: "It definitely sucks."
{El Dragon guides Cross to his feet and Irish Whips him towards the turnbuckles, running along behind. As Cross hits the corner, he runs up the turnbuckles and flips through the air, looking to surprise El Dragon. Unfortunately for him, El Dragon steps back and as Cross lands, catches him from behind and hooks him, planting him with the Dragon Suplex. He bridges it for the pin. 1.... 2... Cross breaks free. Dragon drags Cross to the corner and stomps him before stepping through the ropes and climbing the turnbuckles. Dragon leaps through the air with the Moonsault, nailing Cross with the move. He hooks the leg again. 1.... 2.... Xavier gets the shoulder up. Dragon, angered by the back-to-back failed pins, guides Cross to a vertical base and signals that the end is near. He hooks is arm under Cross' neck and looks for the Kiss of the Dragon DDT, but Cross pulls free and Dragon flips to his feet behind the opponent. Cross spins around as Dragon grabs for him, and surprises the masked wrestler with a Sitout Jawbreaker that sends him flying to his backside. Dragon backs toward the corner and makes the tag to Gib, who lumbers into the ring and grabs Cross by the shorts as he tries to make it to the corner.}
Eric Hardy: "Cross desperately needs to make the tag, but with Gib around, it's easier said than done."
Willy Carter: "Gib is like a stone in the ring. Dude cannot be budged."
{Gib puts himself between Cross and the corner, and delivers a stiff punch to the face that buckles Xavier's knees, and follows it up with a Short Clothesline. He then bends down and hoists Cross up, trapping him in a Bearhug. Gib tries to squeeze the life from Xavier's body as the crowd tries to will on the trapped wrestler. Cross begins to fade as referee Norman Dafoe raises his arm to check for life. He lets it drop once, and Cross shows no life. Dafoe lifts the arm again, and Cross manages to keep it in the air as the crowd cheers again. Xavier fires off some quick punches to the side of Gib's head, loosening his grip with each punch, before he finally breaks the hold. Cross drops to his feet and fires off a kick to the quads the knots up Gib's leg, allowing Cross to dive and tag in Rob Diamond, who hits the ring like a house of fire. Diamond strikes Gib with punch after punch, backing him into the ropes. Diamond tries to send Gib off with an Irish Whip, but the superior power of Gib allows him to reverse it and send Diamond into the ropes. As Diamond rebounds, Gib goes for a Clothesline, which is ducked, and as Gib spins back around, Diamond boots him in the gut and delivers a Double Arm DDT. Diamond taunts and hits the ropes, coming off and dropping the big Atomic Leg Drop across Gib's throat. He quickly climbs on top and goes for the pin. 1.... 2. Gib powers out and sends Diamond flying into the air.}
Dave Holland: "It's going to take more than that to put the big man down."
Willy Carter: "Like maybe parking a dump truck on his chest."
{Diamond gets to his feet and stands over Gib as he gets to his feet. Diamond grabs Gib and tries to power him up into a Scoop Slam, but he's unable to lift his massive opponent, allowing Gib to deliver an elbow between his shoulder blades. Gib taunts to the crowd before powering Diamond up and onto his shoulder. He walks around the ring with Rob on his shoulder before running towards the corner, looking to drop him with the Homeless Harpoon. As Gib advances, Diamond slips down off of his shoulder and lands behind Gib, who turns around... right into a Diamond Cutter! Diamond struggles to roll Gib onto his back and goes for the pin. 1.... 2.... 3!}
Amber Ashe: "GIB HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
Dave Holland: "The biggest man in this match has just been eliminated! What a shocker!"
{Rob Diamond pushes up to his feet and raises his arms in celebration, not noticing as Simon Daye rolls him up into a School Boy from behind. 1.... 2.... 3!}
Amber Ashe: "ROB DIAMOND HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
{Diamond gets to his feet and has fury in his eyes as he realizes that Simon got the surprise pin on him. As Daye smirks from the corner, Diamond fights to get to him, but Norman Dafoe holds him back.}
Eric Hardy: "Simon Daye got one over on Rob Diamond again! And Diamond is furious!"
Dave Holland: "Rightfully so, Eric. He has to be just as sick of Simon as the rest of us are... if not moreso!"
Willy Carter: "I have a feeling Daye is going to get his at some point. I'd be afraid if I were him."
Eric Hardy: "Gib and Rob Diamond are both out of this match! Who could have seen this coming?!"
{As the referee struggles to get Diamond and Gib cleared from the ring, Steve Awesome climbs into the ring and catches the overly-cocky Daye with a High Leg Clothesline, and another as he quickly gets back to his feet. Simon tries to get to his feet, but as he does, Awesome comes off the ropes and hits a Brain Scrambler Kick. Steve gets the crowd behind him one hundred percent and waits as Simon slowly comes to and stands on wobbly legs. Awesome approaches him from behind and grabs, locking on the SteveVD Player! Steve's signature Crossface Chickenwing is locked in tight as the crowd roars with approval. As Simon looks to be fading, El Dragon de Valor grabs the referee's shirt and pulls him in close on the opposite side of the ring, allowing Bushido to climb to the top rope and hit the Freestyle to the back of Steve Awesome! Cross and Washington step into the ring to alert the referee of what just happened, distracting him and allowing El Dragon to sneak into the ring and nail a Dragon Kick to Steve's head as he's on his knees! Steve crumples to the mat, and both Internationals slink back to their corner, with the referee none-the-wiser.}
Willy Carter: "Brilliant moves there by the Internationals!"
Eric Hardy: "Brilliant? They were cheating, Willy!"
Willy Carter: "Cheaters always prosper."
{Simon slowly crawls over and lays back on Awesome, hooking one leg while Dafoe counts the pin. 1.... 2.... Steve gets his shoulder up! Simon looks distraught, and lays back, looking for the pin again. 1.... 2.... Steve grabs his arm and turns him into the Crucifix Pin! 1.... 2..... Simon breaks free! Both men make it to a vertical base, and exchange punches, with Daye getting the advantage. He sends Steve into the ropes with an Irish Whip, but Steve rebounds and Baseball Slides between his legs, stands up behind Daye, and lifts him up onto his shoulders for the SteveKO as he turns around! Before Steve can drop the loudmouth with his finisher, Simon reaches down and rakes Steve's eyes, forcing Steve to drop him back down to the mat. Daye turns Steve around and hooks him up, drilling him with the Good DDT! The air is sucked out of the crowd as Simon rolls Steve onto his back and tags in Bushido, who climbs to the top rope and looks down at Awesome, before leaping off with the Freefall Headbutt!.... but Steve rolls out of the way! Bushido's head crashes into the mat with a thud, and Steve crawls to the corner and tags in Xavier Cross. Cross hits the ring and as Bushido gets up, holding his head, Cross leaps and knocks him down with Lou Thesz Press, before raining down with mounted punches. Xavier stands up and quickly moves back before rolling and squashing Bushido with the Rolling Thunder.}
Dave Holland: "This Cross is one speedy fellow. He moves around the ring like lightning."
{Xavier pulls Bushido to his feet and turns him into Crossifixion position... but El Dragon reaches in and makes the blind tag off of Bushido's back. As Cross looks to finish the move, Dafoe pulls him away, alerting him that a tag was made. While he argues with the referee, it allows El Dragon to enter the ring and spin him around. Cross pushes Dragon back into the ropes, and he accidently smacks into Bushido, knocking him off of the apron. When El Dragon turns around to check on Bushido, the Japanese star climbs back onto the apron and grabs El Dragon by the head, and then drops back down, driving him throat-first across the top rope. Simon looks down at Bushido in confusion, as El Dragon stumbles into the waiting arms of Xavier Cross, who turns him into the Crossifixion! He turns him and goes for the pin. 1.... 2.... 3!}
Amber Ashe: "EL DRAGON DE VALOR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
{Norman Dafoe attempts to revive El Dragon to get him out of the ring so the match can continue.}
Eric Hardy: "We knew something was going to happen between those two, and it did! Bushido just caused El Dragon de Valor to be eliminated!"
Dave Holland: "What a stupid move by Bushido. He's going to regret that."
Willy Carter: "I don't know, Dave. He looks pretty happy with himself."
{Bushido climbs into the ring and looks down at his fallen partner and mocks him as Dafoe rolls him out of the ring. Meanwhile, Will Washington tags in and approaches, catching Bushido with a surprise punch to the jaw.... and another. Bushido rocks on his feet as Washington drills him with punches. A big right hand finally drops Bushido, but he's up quickly... and down again after another punch. Bushido climbs to his feet woozily, and is caught and Military Pressed into the air by Washington. Will holds him there for a moment before spinning and dropping him, catching his legs and driving him down for the Catch-22. Bushido ricochets off of the mat as the crowd goes crazy. Washington backs up and watches as Bushido gets to his feet, and then catches him with an Atomic Drop. Will tosses Bushido in the air, looking for the Stunned Silence maneuver, but Bushido grabs the ropes and pulls himself away. Washington turns and is hit by a stiff Side Kick to the gut that keels him over. He pulls Will into position for the Tandem Underhook Powerbomb move, but Washington keeps himself planted to the mat. Bushido delivers a forearm shot to the back of Washington, but Will Back Body Drops his way out of the move. As Bushido gets to his feet, he backs up towards the ropes, and Washington hits the opposite ropes. where Simon puts his foot up and kicks him through the ropes. Washington turns around and connects with a punch to Daye, knocking him loopy out on the apron.

Willy Carter: "It looks like El Dragon is repaying the favor!"
{Bushido trips and hits the mat face-first. He stands up holding his mouth, and Washington sneaks up behind him, lifts him, and drills him into the mat with the Joker Driver! Will cradles the legs and goes for the pin. 1.... 2.... 3!}
Amber Ashe: "BUSHIDO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!"
{Washington stands up from the pin and Dafoe rolls Bushido out of the ring, where El Dragon eagerly awaits his former partner. When Bushido's feet hit the floor, El Dragon connects with a punch and the two Internationals fight their way up the ramp.}
Dave Holland: "Now that's a disfunctional team, ladies and gentlemen."
Eric Hardy: "And now it's three-on-one!"
{Simon Daye stands on the apron and looks across the ring, and the realization that he still has three men left to face washes over him. He stands to step through the ropes, but quickly thinks twice and moves to the floor. He walks over and grabs his Tag Team Championship and makes his way around the ring. The crowd booes wildly as Simon tries to leave the arena and lose by disqualification. He turns back towards the ring to taunt the opponents, when suddenly, Rob Diamond runs up from behind and grabs him by the tights, tossing him back into the ring!

Rob Diamond spies this, and waives everyone off, while he waits for Daye to get to his feet.... and nails him with a Diamond Cutter! The winning team's theme hits as the crowd completely loses their mind.}
Eric Hardy: "Rob Diamond with the Diamond Cutter! His team got the win, and he got the last laugh tonight on Simon Daye."
Dave Holland: "Yeah, but I don't think things are over just yet between InFamous and Team America. Nor have the Internationals settled their issues."
Willy Carter: "These situations are as hot as ever, and we've only got one week to settle them!"
{The InFamous members celebrate on the turnbuckles while Cross and Washington raise their arms in the center of the ring. The two men look over at each other, and seem to size each other up, before nodding to one another.

Eric Hardy: "It was a huge win for InFamous, Cross, and Washington, and a bitter defeat for Internationally Amurikan."
Dave Holland: "Those men just wrestled their last ever match on Collision, but we've still got two huge matches left, including a National Title Match!"

Dave Holland: "Stay tuned."

Dave Holland: "Speaking of sloppy teens.... nah too easy. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this huge Eight Man Tag, though."
{The InFamous team decides that Steve Awesome will be starting off this match, and El Dragon chooses himself to start it off for American Internationals.
