UNSTOPPABLE FORCE (c) VS 5 ALARM--TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

 The Unstoppable Force put the Tag Titles on the line against 5 Alarm in a rematch from Night Of Champions. Virus and Inferno started things out. They went back and forth for several minutes before Inferno caught Virus off guard with a Spin Kick. He landed several punches before knocking Virus down with a Drop Kick and locking him in a Half Nelson. Virus managed to break out of the hold and plant Inferno with the Pedigree, but Smoke broke up the following pin fall at 2.

He went for the Frogsplash, but Inferno pulled his brother out of the way and Dante went crashing into the mat.

 Inferno knocked Virus off the apron as smoke climbed to th top rope. They sent Dante to the mat with Wildfire and Inferno went for the pin as Smoke rolled out of the ring.

Virus left the ring as Dante nailed Smoke with a Dropkick, knocking him off the apron. As he recovered, Inferno nailed him with the Shoryuken.

Julie Carpenter was backstage with The Dark Knight. He said that tonight he takes the first step towards dominating SPW just like he dominated WCWF. Tonight, he would defeat The Iceman and at Fall Fight, he would become the SPW Heavyweight Champion.



 THE ICEMAN VS THE DARK KNIGHT

 After a commercial for Powersurge, it was time for the match between The Iceman and The Dark Knight. As they walked to the ring, the announcer reminded people watching that if he wins tonight, Dark Knight would get a shot at the title at Fall Fight. Dark Knight looked around, seemingly concerned about the fact that fans were booing him. The announcers talked about how he was cheered last when he debuted, and that the fans obviously wanted to believe that he was no longer the villainous man he was in WCWF, but after getting help from the Black Dragons the fans were having trouble believing him.

After shaking hands, the long time friends locked up. They pushed each other around the ring, trying to gain the advantage. Finally Dark Knight pushed Iceman into the corner. The ref split them up and Dark Knight backed away, giving Iceman the room he needed to Spear the Dark Knight.

Iceman picked him up, but the Dark Knight nailed him with an uppercut. After several more punches he sent Iceman crashing to the mat with a Bulldog. Dark Knight locked Iceman in a Keylock, but Iceman managed to get to the ropes and break the hold. Both men got to their feet, but Iceman surprised Dark Knight with the Rolling Dropkick.

They begin trading chops until Iceman whiped Dark Knight into the ropes. He tried for a Clothsline, but Dark Knight ducked it. He sent Iceman to the mat with a German Suplex and bridged it for the pin, but only got a two count.

They locked up in the center of the ring and Dark Knight kneed Iceman in the stomach before sending him to the mat with a DDT. He contacted with the Jawbreaker, but again could only get a two count. He locked Iceman in a Reverse Chin Lock, but the Hardcore Hero managed to fight out of it. He whipped Dark Knight into the ropes and knocked him down with a Shoulder Block. Dark Knight started to get to his feet, but Iceman sent him back down with the Millenium Suplex and went for the pin.

As the ref started the count, the Black Dragons ran in from the crowd. 5 Alarm pulled the ref out of the ring and whipped him into the barrier as Reptile pulled Iceman out. Iceman fought them off, knocking 5 Alarm down before Reptile connected with the Devil Spin Kick. He rolled Iceman into the ring as the ref groggily returned to the ring. Reptile threw Dark Knight's arm onto Iceman and the Dragons left as the ref made the three count, giving Dark Knight the win.

The two friends helped each other up and shook hand, congratulating each other on a great match as they stared up the ramp and at the retreating Dragons.

After an ad for Fall Fight, Julie Carpenter caught up with the Dragons. They didn't say why they had helped Dark Knight, saying only that they had their reasons. Reptile grabbed the mic and said the tonight, he would extinguish Firestorm and send a message. Whether it was Iceman, Dark Knight, or Virus, he would be coming for the title, and he would do the same thing to them to get it.


JADE (C) VS MILLENA--WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

After a video package showing footage from the last few weeks, it was time for Jade to put the Woman’s title one the line against Millena. After some trash talking, Millena slapped Jade as soon as the bell rang. Jade responded by tackling her and landing punches until the ref separated them. They got to their feet and continued trading punches until Millena ducked one and sent Jade to the mat with a German Suplex. She locked Jade in a Triangle Choke, but the champion was able to get a foot on the bottom rope to break the hold.

Both women got to their feet and Jade took a page from her boyfriend's play book, Spearing Millena. She landed a few punches before going to the top rope. She tried for a Split Leg Moonsault, but Millena rolled out of the way. She locked Jade in a Half Crab, but the champion managed to get to the ropes.

Jade sent Millena to the mat with the Sonicarrana and went for the pin, but could only get a two count. She picked Millena up and signaled for a second one, but Millena broke free. She set Jade up for a Powerbomb, but Jade reversed it into the Sonicarrana and went for the pin again.

Before the ref could start the count, a fan wearing a hood jumped the barricade and entered the ring, attacking Jade and giving her the win by DQ. He threw back the hood to reveal Dustin Silver. Smiling he sent Jade crashing to the mat with the Silver Streak before The Iceman ran to the ring with a chair. Silver ran as security entered the ring. With security between him and Silver, The Iceman checked on his girlfriend as the camera cut to backstage.

Commissioner Bret Hurtz walked into the Black Dragon's dressing room, followed by the Unstoppable Force. He congratulated 5 Alarm on winning the tag belts, but said there was a problem. He reviewed the tape and saw that Dante's foot was on the bottom rope when the ref made the three count. As a result, the match should have continued. Since it should have continued but didn't, he was throwing out the match. Picking up the belts, Hurtz gave them back to Virus and Dante. The Dragons started complaining but Hurtz stopped them. He said that he had already booked a rematch, and it would take place on the next episode of Powersurge. Not only that, but it would be a cage match. Wishing Reptile good luck tonight, Hurtz left, Dante and 5 Alarm stared at each other as Virus stood back, a worried look on his face.


FIRESTORM VS REPTILE

A video package showed footage from the last few weeks involving Firestorm and Reptile. After it ended, Reptile made his way to the ring. He said that it sucked that 5 Alarm would have to win a cage match to take back what was theirs, but tonight, not only would he send a message to the three he mentioned earlier, but also to the Unstoppable Force. Because what he did to Firestorm tonight was what 5 Alarm would do to them on Wednesday.

The lights went out and flames erupted through out the arena. When the lights came back on, Firestorm was standing in the center of the ring holding a chair. He nailed Reptile with the chair and threw it out of the ring as the ref called for the bell. He locked Reptile in a Cobra Clutch in the center of the ring. 5 Alarm ran down to the ring and attacked Firestorm. He fought them off and stopped the ref from calling for the bell to end the match, yelling that he wanted this to be no DQ.

He turned around and stopped just short of being nailed by the Shoryuken. He punched Inferno in the stomach and was about to DDT him. Instead he picked Inferno up and spun around, letting him go and causing him to go flying into Smoke and Reptile. He nailed Reptile with a Shining Wizard and began dragging his eyes against the ropes. The ref told him to let Reptile go and began a 5 count, but Firestorm again yelled that he wanted No DQ.

He let Reptile go and picked up the chair, nearly decapitating Smoke with a chair shot. Inferno began punching him, but they didn't seem to phase Firestorm as he grabbed Inferno by the throat. Reptile charged towards Firestorm but was met with a big boot before Inferno got Chockslammed into the chair. Firestorm pulled a lighter out of his boot and spun around, sending a Fireball at Smoke who rolled out of the ring holding his face.

As Firestorm stared down at Smoke, Reptile nailed him in the back with the chair. Several more chairshots sent Firestorm to his knees. Reptile smiled as he moved in for the kill but Firestorm nailed him with a Low Blow. Reptile doubled over in pain as firestorm grabbed the chair and smashed it into Reptile's face with an upward swing, busting him open.

Firestorm placed Reptile in the corner and slammed his face into the turnbuckle several times before climbing to the top rope. Blood poured down reptiles face as Firestorm took some and smeared it onto his mask and smiled. He sent Reptile flying across the ring with a Twisting Armbreaker variation, sending him crashing into Inferno. He grabbed Inferno pressed him above his head before throwing him out of the ring. With 5 Alarm dealt with and Reptile a bloody mess, it was easy for Firestorm to get the pin.

After the bell rang, Firestorm surveyed the chaos he had created. He took his fingers and dipped them in Firestorms blood before writing DOA on Reptile's chest. He grabbed a blanket from under the ring and laid it over Reptile. Smiling, Firestorm walked to the back, pausing and watching as paramedics made their way to the ring.

Dante stood in the back with Julie Carpenter, holding one of the Tag belts. He said that Hurtz made the right decision, and on Wednesday, he and Virus would retain their tag team championships. The example Reptile had promised had been pathetic, and tonight he was going to show the Dragons what to expect when he beat the Biggest Man In Sports Entertainment, Fezik.


FEZIK VS DANTE

That match was next. Dante took the fight to the big man as soon as the bell rang, landing several punches. But Fezik turned the match around quickly by blocking a punch and nailing Dante with a Headbutt. He picked Dane up and tried for a Powerbimb, but Dante reversed it into a Headscissors. He followed that up with a Drop kick to the head and locked Fezik in a Camel Clutch, but Fezik got to his feet and backed up, slamming Dante into the turnbuckles several times till he let go.

Fezik pummeled Dante with punches and tried for an Irish Whip, but Dante reversed it and whipped him across the ring instead. Dante bounced off the opposite ropes and nailed Fezik with a Dropkick to the knee. He glanced over at Fezik's manager, Johnny Fantastic before locking him in a Figure Four Leg Lock.

Fantastic entered the ring to help his client, but the ref stopped him as Fezik started tapping out. Dante started arguing with the ref, giving Fezik the time he needed to recover. Dante went up top for the Frog Splash, but Fezik rolled out of the way and Dante crashed to the mat. He picked Dante up and sent him back down with the Capafara and went for the pin.

Before the ref could start the three count, Brick Larson jumped over the barrier and entered the ring. He attacked Fezik as the ref called for the bell, laying him out with the Brick Layer. Larson began walking to the back while Fantastic went to check on his client. Larson returned to the ring and sent Fantastic to the mat with another Brick Layer. He stared at the ring, smiling and rubbing his arm as security escorted him to the back.

The Virus had a mic backstage. He said that at Night of Champions, he didn't know what to expect when he went up against Iceman. This time was different. He said that tonight, he would show Iceman why Nobody beats The Virus.


THE ICEMAN(C) VS VIRUS--HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

The main event was a rematch from Night Of Champions as The Iceman put the heavyweight title on the line against The Virus. After a video showing footage from the last few weeks, they made their way to the ring. They shook hands in the center of the ring and waited for the bell.

As soon as the bell rang, Iceman went for a Spear. Virus dodged it and grabbed Iceman, sending him to the mat with a German Suplex. He tried for a second one, but Iceman escaped and knocked him down with a Dropkick to the back. He tried for the Glacier Lock, but Virus reversed it into a Boston Crab. Iceman reached back and grabbed one of Virus' feet, pulling it out from under him and and going for the Sharpshooter, but Virus managed to escape.

The crowd was cheering as they locked up in the center of the ring. Iceman managed to gain the advantage and sent Virus to the mat, locking him in a Fujiwara Armbar. Virus tried to reverse it, but the Hardcore Hero rolled on top of him and went for the pin.

Virus kicked out on 2. Both men got to their feet and began trading chops till Virus sent Iceman to the mat with a Vertical Suplex. He landed a Leg Drop and went for the pin but could only get 2.

Powersurge #2


After footage from last week was shown, that announcers said that after last week's episode of Powersurge went off the air, Reptile accepted Firestorm's challenge.  At Dragonstar it would be Reptile against Firestorm.  They also announced that last week's contendership match between Millena and Oni had been thrown out.  They would face off this week, and if Reptile got involved, he would be suspended.

That match was next.  Millena looked worried that she had no back up and the Kombatants accompanied their sister to the ring.  She struck as soon as the bell rang.  It didn't take long before Oni took control of the mach, locking her in a Rear Naked Choke.  Millina powered out of it, but was soon locked in an STF.  5 Alarm ran down to help her, but the Kombatants were ready for them.  Oni went to help her brothers, but Millena rolled her up in a School Girl for a 2 count.  Millena locked her in a Rear Naked Choke of her own, but Oni got to the ropes.  Oni connected with a Spinning DDT and went for the Hammer Heel Kick, but Millena avoided it and rolled Oni up with a modified Clutch Roll to get the 3 count and once again become #1 contender to the Women's Championship.

After a commercial break, Julie Carpenter was with SPW's power couple. Women's Champion Jade and Heavyweight Champion The Iceman.  After a few questions about their relationship, including if there were wedding bells in their future, she asked them about their opponents at Dragonstar.  Jade said that he had been impressed with Millena's first three matches and that if she lost at Dragonstar, she wouldn't like it, but she would be ok with it as long as she lost it fair and square.  The Iceman said that at Night Of Champions, neither he nor Virus knew what to expect.  This time would be different.  He was looking forward to facing Virus again and said that the best man would win.

Reptile took on "The Superstar" Nate Nooft in the next match.  during the introductions, it was announced that if Nooft won the match, he would be given a contract.  As a student of  The Iceman's Hardcore Dojo, Nooft took the fight to his mentor's nemesis as soon as the bell rang, but he went for the Shooting Star Press too soon.  Reptile got his knees up, blocking it and taking control of the match.  He dominated the inexperienced Nooft and sent him to the mat with Venom before placing a foot on his chest and getting the pin.

After the match 5 Alarm ran down to the ring carrying a steel chair and a garbage can.  Reptile blasted Nooft with the chair several times, busting him open.  5 Alarm sent him into the garbage can with Wildfire before Reptile spiked him into the chair with another dose of Venom.  He held Nooft's bloody face before the camera as Smoke handed him a mic.  He said that Firestorm thought he would destroy Reptile at Dragonstar, but this is what was going to happen to him.  He was going to destroy Firestorm.  Flames erupted from the ring posts and apron as Firestorm appeared on the jumbotron.  He said that Reptile had never been able to defeat him with out cheating or help.  He said that if Reptile thought he could defeat him, to tell 5 Alarm to stay away from the ring and we would see who would destroy who.

After an ad for Dragonstar, Fezik was seen walking backstage when he heard a familiar voice.  Turning, he saw his manager from WCWF, Johnny Fantastic.  He apologized for not being there last week due to other obligations, but here was here now and he would stick with Fezik.  He said he would lead Fezik to gold, and would manage him until Fezik was Heavyweight Champion.

As they walked down the hall, they saw Dante heading for the ring.  He said that last week Fezik had insulted him.  He saw Fezik after the show and decided to welcome him to SPW, but Fezik refused to shake his hand and accused him of hurting people.  That was in his past, and he is a changed man.  The old him would have destroyed Fezik then and there.  The new him went to see Commissioner Hurtz.  Dante looked up at Fezik and said that he would teach him not to insult him at Dragonstar, where it will be Fezik VS Dante.

The main saw Tag Team Champion The Unstoppable Force and Heavyweight Champion The Iceman teaming up to face 5 Alarm and The Dark Knight.  There was apparent tension on both sides, with the Dark Knight not liking the fact that he had to team with 5 Alarm after they helped him defeat Fezik last week.  Tensions were high on the other side of the ring as well, with Virus and The Iceman just days away from their rematch at Dragonstar.

After a few moments of both sides arguing with each other, the match started and both teams worked well together.  The crowd were on their feet when The Iceman and The Dark Knight got into the ring together part way through the match.  Iceman rolled past Dark Knight and connected with a Drop Kick.  The cheers of the fans were deafening as the two friends stood and smiled at each other.

The match went back and forth until 5 Alarm was about to send The Virus to the mat with Wildfire.  The Iceman entered the ring and speared Inferno as Dante and the Dark Knight entered the ring.  All six men started fighting in the ring, but the champions gained control and connected with their finishers.  Iceman and Virus stared at each other as they hit theirs.  Virus connected with the Pedigree to Inferno to get the pin.

After the match, the winners start celebrating, but the celebration is short lives as 5 Alarm and The Dark Knight get to their feet.  All six men stared at each other as Powersurge goes off the air.
