Davis Memorial Palace was rocking once again for Battle Supreme!!! The action got underway with a Hell's Gate Match pitting former best friends and stablemates Armageddon and Diablo against each other!! In order to win the match, a man had to make it out of the arena, and that proved to be an extremely difficult task for both men!! The match began in the ring, but it wasn't long at all before The World Ender was slamming Diablo headfirst into the ringpost, and The Devil-man was bashing Armageddon with the ringsteps!! After more random battling, the combatants made their way over the guardrail, up the aisle, out the tunnel and onto the concourse!! Passing fans roared their approval as Armageddon gutwrench suplexed Diablo through a corndog stand, and later The Devil-man answered by driving Armageddon into a beer cart with a vicious shoulderblock!! Diablo staggered forward to the exit, but Armageddon nailed him with a trash can from behind!! The World Ender whipped Diablo into a merchandise stand, then lifted The Devil-man and planted him with The Apocalypse!! Both wrestlers were worn as evidenced by Armageddon crawling toward the door with Diablo in hot pursuit!! The World Ender reached the door and shoved it open, but Diablo grabbed him by the ankle!! Armageddon was caught for a moment, then nailed Diablo square in the face with a kick, shaking himself free and crawling out of the door and into the night air!! The ref raised Armageddon hand and awarded him the match as Mikal Meyers stepped out from behind the door and nailed The World Ender with a 2x4!! Meyers stomped and choked Armageddon before Gabriel ordered himback to the locker room!!!

RCW Cruiserweight Champion
Kerry "Carnage" Carter

Next up was a meeting of the three top cruiserweight talents in RCW as "Sensational" Johnny Lee, Raven Midknight, and RCW Cruiserweight Champion Kerry "Carnage" Carter went to war in an elimination match for the title!! The action was non-stop from the opening bell, with Midknight nailing Carter with a dropkick, Johnny Lee blasting Midknight with a flying forearm, and Carter coming back to rock Lee with a spinning back kick!! No one was able to hold control of the match for any sustained period, but Raven Midknight turned in an inspired performance, working an effective offense and a solid defense, ultimately countering a Kerry Carter corner whip with a springboard bodypress, pinning and eliminating the champion!!

We were guaranteed a new Cruiserweight Champion as the final fall began, and both combatants proved that they worthy of claiming the title!! Carter went straight after Midknight with knife edge chops and flying clotheslines as The Darkbird answered with somersault axhandles and fistdrops!! The competition was bitter, but as the match wore on, fatigue began to creep in!! Both challengers fought hard, but in the end, it was Raven Midknight flooring Johnny Lee with a springboard leg lariat, then coming off the top rope with a moonsault bodypress!! But Johnny Lee raised his knees, burying them in Midknight's gut, then he scrambled up the ropes and came off with The Simply Sensational, pinning for the one, two, and three, and reclaiming the RCW Cruiserweight Championship!!!

Next up, two of RCW's greatest competitors, both former World Champions, locked up as "The Stalker" Jack McGriff faced Jake Rockwell!! A shot at the RCW World Champion at Royal Rampage was on the line for McGriff, but Rockwell stood in the way!! These two are no strangers to each other, starting the match with lots of grappling, reversals and counters!! After the early jousting though, Rockwell went after McGriff's legs with reverse kneelocks and leg grapevines!! The Stalker used his upper body strength to get to the ropes to break the holds, then came back with some hard-knuckle brawling and a few power moves!! McGriff was able to work Rockwell to the mat with some head-and-arm suplexes and sidewalk slams, but The Rock came back with technical holds and submission moves!! Rockwell had McGriff writhing in pain with an STF, but The Stalker refused to submit!! The match raged on for quite a while, with both men holding the upper hand!! The turning point came when McGriff whipped Rockwell into the ropes, but The Rock countered with a short clothesline, leveling The Stalker!! Rockwell then pulled McGriff and went for a DDT, but McGriff came out of nowhere with a Northern Lights suplex, bridging for the three-count and high-tailing it up the ramp as the crowd roared and Rockwell fumed!!!

In our next match, Dominion took on RCW World Tag Team Champions The Commission for the belts!! The match got off to a brutal start as Ric Samson and Mike Smith unceremoniously battered the champions as they entered the ring!! There were lots of axhandles and elbows flying, but Blake and Shade came right back, blasting Dominion with knee smashes and forearms, tossing the challengers out of the ring as the crowd cheered!! From that point, we entered a more standard tag team match, with sharp timing and execution by both teams!! The Commission used a solid technical offense to keep the challengers on the mat where they couldn't deliver their power moves, but Samson and Smith would not be denied, headbutting and suplexing their way into the match!! Dominion crushed Blake and Shade with damaging double-team moves and individual gutbusters and shoulderbreakers, collecting quite a few near-falls along the way!! At one point, Samson nailed Shade with a spinebuster, then nailed Blake with a right cross!! Blake jumped into the ring and went after Samson, but the ref held him back, ordering him back to the corner!! Meanwhile, Smith tossed the briefcase in to Samson who whacked Shade clean between the eyes!! Samson made the cover as the ref counted one, two, and through the ropes came Grakkar and Calibus, battering Dominion with chairs!! The ref called for the bell, but The Minions were relentless, bludgeoning Dominion as Jasmine led The champions up the ramp!!! Gabriel called the shots as Minions of Darkness delivered The Soul Reaver to both men before leaving the ring!!!

The wrestlers filed into the ring to start the over-the-top-rope, every-man-for-himself battle royal!! Syndicate members stayed away from each other, Firm-Alliance allies steered clear of one another, and the rookies glared at everybody!! The bell rang and the craziness ensued; Castlerock went straight after Andy Axle, Malone and Bravo locked up, Green Saint traded shots with Prophet, and Night Train bludgeoned a pair of cruiserweights at the same time!! We quickly hit the 20-minute mark, during which time a few names were scratched off of the contender list!!

With the field cut by three, the battles became a little more intense!! Blue Phoenix and Matrix found their way to each other, Vic Payback and Apocalypse hammered away at each other, and Mikal Meyers took a few shots at everyone in his immediate vicinity!! The fight was wild and brutal , but as we neared the 40-minute mark, those who weren't able to keep pace were done away with!!

After forty minutes of action, only 13 of the opening twenty competitors remained!! And with the space created by the eliminations, the confrontations picked up in quality!! Matrix was able to crush Blue Phoenix with windmill backbreakers, Tony Bravo was able to plant Hank Malone with side suplexes, and Night Train James was able to level The Invader with charging clotheslines!! As we approached the one-hour point, a number of butts hit the floor, taking yet more names from the list of competitors!!

We were up to an hour of competition and counting, with seven men still vying for a shot at the RCW World Champion!! The ring was much clearer now, giving Nick Fury and Vic Payback room to nail each other with neckbreakers and atomic drops, and allowing Night Train James and The Prophet to double-team Mikal Meyers!! Arms were getting heavy and feet were moving slow, but as we reached an hour and twenty minutes, quite a few wrestlers found relief on the arena floor!!

Mikal Meyers, Vic Payback, 1:15:08
Vic Payback, Night Train James, 1:17:12
Night Train James, Nick Fury, 1:19:29

Having both gone the distance, it would be either The Invader or Nick Fury earning the right to face the RCW World Champion on this week's Friday Night Fury!! Both men were weary, but The Conqueror still managed to use a few top wristlocks and inverted atomic drops as Fury answered with belly-to-belly suplexes and flying clotheslines!! Back and forth the struggle went until Fury lifted The Invader for an atomic drop and The Conqueror countered with a huge faceslam!! The Invader whipped Fury into the ropes, but The Legal Eagle reversed the move!! Invader came off the ropes with a clothesline, but Fury ducked it!! The Legal Eagle then went to clothesline The Invader over the top rope, but The Conqueror countered with a back body drop, sending Fury to the floor and winning the battle royal!!!

It was main event time in Davis Memorial Palace as RCW U.S. Champion looked to acquire a little more hardware with a victory over RCW World Champion The Executive!! There are those who believed that Steel was in over his head with this match against The CEO,… and from the early returns, that looked to be so!! The Executive took the match straight to the U.S. Champion, matching him technically move for move, then throwing in a reverse facelock, or a bow-and-arrow submission hold to keep Steel off pace!! After driving The Real Deal to the mat with a Samoan drop!! The Executive tossed Steel out of the ring where Jake Rockwell started toward him, but was cut off by Jack McGriff!! The Stalker helped Steel to settle down and focus, and the difference was noticable when the challenger re-entered the ring!! The Executive found himself at a loss for Steel's mixed attack of mat wrestling and power moves as The Real Deal caught the champion with a reverse hammerlock, then ---before The Exec could counter--- pulled him up and squashed him with a power slam!! The CEO was fired up, bringing everything he had at Steel!! The champion whipped The Real Deal into the ropes, but Steel came back with a clothesline!! The Executive alertly ducked the move, leaving Steel to level the referee!! The Executive quickly nailed Steel with a low blow and grabbed his briefcase, but Jack McGriff snatched the weapon away and bashed The CEO with it!! The Executive staggered away right into Jonathan Steel's grasp, and Steel delivered The Reality Check!! McGriff tried to revive the ref, but Jake Rockwell came from behind him and drilled him with a crowbar shot to the ribs!! Steel came to McGriff's defense, but Rockwell slid out of the ring before The Real Deal could reach him!! The Rock traded words with Steel as The Executive cleared the cobwebs, retrieved the briefcase, and nailed Steel in the small of the back!! The ref began to come to as Rockwell nailed McGriff again on the arena floor with the crowbar, and The CEO locked in The Hostile Takeover in the center of the ring!! Steel fought valiantly, but that briefcase shot did its damage, forcing him to submit, awarding the match and the defense to The Executive!!!
