Davis Memorial Palace was a house on fire as we brought out the latest edition of Danger Zone!!! The first match of the night was a cruiserweight clash between "Sensational" Johnny Lee and Bloodwulf in a No-DQ slugfest that actually got started in the aisleway as Bloodwulf made his way to the ring!! Johnny Lee ran down and went after Wulf with a somersault axhandle, but The Dark Hound countered with a dropkick that caught Lee square in the face!! Bloodwulf then whipped Johnny Lee into the guardrail several times, and at one point Lee leaped up onto the barricade and came off with a moonsault bodypress!! After scoring with a senton drop, The Sensational One grabbed a chair and delivered a huge Arabian facebuster, then brought Bloodwulf down with a vertical suplex onto the concrete floor!! Lee then whipped Bloodwulf into the ring apron, but The Dark Hound came back with a handspring back elbow off the apron, sending both of these warriors sprawling!! Bloodwulf grabbed the chair and whacked Johnny Lee repeatedly across the back, then he reached under the ring and pulled out a 2x4!! But before he could use it, Lee nailed him with a rana that sent Wulf crashing into the ringsteps!! The Sensational One scrambled to the top rope as Bloodwulf got to his feet on the arena floor, but The Dark Hound was able to grab one of Lee's ankles, causing him to fall groin-first on the top ring cable!! With Lee dazed, Bloodwulf was able to climb the ropes and deliver a huge huracanrana that sent Johnny Lee through the announcer's table!! Bloodwulf then rolled Lee back into the ring and went for the pin, getting the one, two, and throwing his arm up at the very last second, Johnny Lee stayed in it!! Bloodwulf was infuriated, coming off the ropes with a wicked somersault splash!! But Johnny Lee pulled his knees up, burying them in Wulf's gut!! Lee then tossed Wulf back out of the ring and planted him with a brainbuster onto a chair!! Lee then connected with an inverted atomic drop that landed Bloodwulf on the timekeeper's table, after which Lee made his way to the top rope and came off with The Simply Sensational, sending Bloodwulf crashing through the table, then rolling him in and pinning for the one, two, and three!!! But just as the crowd erupted, a man wearing a mask and a sombrero (?!) came down the aisle and blasted Johnny Lee with a clothesline!! He then blasted Lee with a corkscrew huracanrana before being chased off by security!!! What was that about?!!

Only one match into the card and we were already out of two tables! That's why this is the Danger Zone!! And the carnage didn't stop there; next up, Blue Phoenix met Diablo in a First Blood Match that proved both men to be ---if only for one night--- superhuman!! Diablo got the first shots in, softening Blue Phoenix with lots of backbreakers and belly-to-belly suplexes, then retrieving a chair and taking a few swings at The Firebird's back!! The Devil-man whipped Phoenix into the corner, then went for the headshot, but Blue Phoenix came back with a front kick that sent the chair into Diablo's head instead!! The Firebird turned it on then, coming off the ropes with springboard moonsaults and flying clotheslines, one of which sent both men out of the ring!! As Diablo struggled to his feet, Blue Phoenix came off the ring apron with a corkscrew bodypress!! But The Devil-man caught him and power slammed him through the announcer's (second) table!! The ref pulled Diablo back and checked Blue Phoenix, but The Firebird shoved past the ref and went right after The Devil-man, nailing him with a knee to the gut, spiking him with a DDT on the arena floor, then grabbed one half of the splintered table and bashing Diablo over the head with it!! The ref then checked Diablo, but found no blood, giving Blue Phoenix the chance to reach under the ring and pull out a shovel (?!)!! Phoenix took the butt of the tool and jabbed The Devil-man between the shoulderblades, then whacked him across the back!! Diablo was doubled over in pain, but still managed a decent spear that sent Blue Phoenix into the ringpost!! But Phoenix still had the shovel, breaking the weapon across Diablo's back, then deliver The Blazing Spike, driving Diablo's head into the concrete floor, and busting him open!! The ref made the check and called for the bell, awarding the match to Blue Phoenix!!!

For our next match, we traveled to the bowels of Davis Memorial, where Jonathan Steel stepped in against Matrix in a Boiler Room Brawl!! Steel's first steps into the engine room were cautious, as Matrix was nowhere to be seen! But when The Revolution stepped out from behind a bank of pipes, Steel went straight into high gear, charging straight at Matrix with a clothesline, then whipping him into a stand-by generator!! Even at the height of his brutality, Steel is one of RCW's most fundamentally sound athletes, immediately going to work on Matrix's legs with a kneebar!! But The Revolution was ready for the move, countering with a leg scissors!! Steel was caught for a moment, but was able to turn the hold into an ankle lock!! Forsaking finesse, Matrix simply kicked Steel below the belt with his free leg, then drove The Real Deal to the concrete floor with a gutwrench suplex!! The Revolution then delivered an overhead belly-to-belly suplex that sent Steel crashing through a stack of 50-gallon drums, then lifted one of the containers and bashed Steel across the back with it!! Matrix then made a move for the door, but Jonathan Steel nailed him in the back with a pipe, bringing The Revolution down!! Steel drove the weapon into Matrix's spine, then connected with a backbreaker before heading for the door!! Just before he reached it though, Matrix caught him from behind and brought him over with a huge German suplex!! Then The Revolution climbed up one of the maintenance ladders and came off with a flying clothesline that put him and Jonathan Steel through a stack of barels!! From here, both men lbegan making a move for the door, with Matrix slightly ahead of Steel!! But at the very last moment, Matrix blasted Steel with a huge back elbow, then shoved the door open and sprawled into the corridor, escaping the boiler room and winning the match!!!

Despite the levels of brutality and chaos we had seen thus far, nothing could have prepared us for our next match: "The Stalker" Jack McGriff and The Invader in a Chi-Town Massacre!! A cage encompassing the entire ring area (that's right; the timekeeper and annoucers were locked in there too) was lowered, and the wrestler who left the cage and couldn't return inside the ref's ten-count would lose! From the opening bell, virtually everything that went on this match could easily be classified as criminal; The Invader bashing McGriff full in the forehead with his crowbar, McGriff clobbering The Conqueror on the arena floor with a chairshot from the top rope, The Invader DDTing McGriff onto the timekeeper's bell, The Stalker powerbombing The Invader through the timekeeper's (second) table,… the carnage was nigh unbelievable!! And STILL, both men managed to drag themselves back into the cage after being tossed out!! In the latter stages of the match, The Invader pulled away the corner padding and executed a backdrop suplex that drove McGriff's head into the exposed turnbuckle, then he actually left the ring and soaked up the ref's nine-count before coming back in and gettign back on the offensive!! But The Stalker would not go away quietly, ramming The Invader's head into the exposed turnbuckle, then pulling a length of chain from under the ring and choking The Conqueror out!! The Invader was tossed out of the cage, but made it back in at seven, only to have McGriff hit him with a brainbuster on the arena floor!! McGriff pulled The Invader to his feet, but The Conqueror had enough awareness to catch The Stalker with a low blow, stopping him in his tracks!! The Invader then grabbed a set of ringsteps and held them high, swinging for McGriff's head!! But The Stalker dodged the move, drove an elbow between The Invader's shoulderblades, then delivered The Assault through the anouncer's (third) table!! McGriff dragged The Invader to the door and shoved him through, then the ref applied the count!! The Invader staggered to one knee at seven, and reached for the door at nine, but fell flat at ten, giving Jack McGriff the hard-fought win!!!

Next was a North American Title Strap Match pitting Armageddon against champion Nick Fury! The men were tied to each other by a ten-foot leather strap, and both made very good use of it; not five minutes into the match, Armageddon had brought Fury down with a side suplex and was wailing away across The Legal Eagle's back!! The World Ender hammered Fury with lots of pumphandle slams and tiger drivers, but the champion stayed in it, at one point countering an Armageddon belly-to-belly suplex with a neckbreaker!! The World Ender was stunned, and Fury was more than ready to capitalize, whipping Armageddon across the gut with the strap, then delivering a gutbuster for good measure!! The Legal Eagle then made use of the exposed turnbuckle, driving Armageddon spine into the steel, then delivering a series of backbreakers and back body drops!! Fury then locked in a Boston crab, pouring more pressure on the challenger's back, but Armageddon was able to reach back and pull away one of Fury's legs!! With the champion down, The World Ender quickly peppered Fury's back with strap shots, then whipped the champion into the ropes, and swung with a huge clothesline!! But Fury ducked the move, and wrapped the strap around Armageddon's neck, bringing him to mat with a vicious choke!! Fury was able to drive the final nail into the challenger's coffin by locking in a strap-assisted camel clutch, pulling back on The World Ender with the leather!! Armageddon struggled for as long as he could, then tapped out, giving the win and the successful title defense to Nick Fury!!!

To give you an idea of how chaotic our next match was, we had three cameras covering the action, and at times, that still wasn't enough!! The Commission faced RCW World TagTeam Champions Dominion in a Tornado Tag Match that saw both teams push each other to the limit!! Despite the heading, there were no tags made in the match; it was a pure four-man brawl, complete with Blake delivering a vertical suplex to Mike Smith on the concrete floor, and Ric Samson putting Shade through the annoucer's (fourth) table with a spinebuster!! The battle was relentless even producing moments where Dominion were able to catch Don Blake with a double brainbuster, and The Commission were able to score a double flying shoulderblock on Samson, sending him crashing into the ringsteps!! But even with all of this carnage, the best either team could do was a two-count!! The battle raged on for a while before Adam Adonis crept to ringside, looking to swing the match in The Corporation's favor!! Mike Smith delivered an inverted atomic drop to Victor Shade, and Adonis loaded up a big chairshot!! But before he could swing, Nick Fury grabbed the weapon away and crowned The Heartbreaker with a huge shot!! Fury then went to work on Adonis with forearms and knee smashes, but the pretty boy was able to score a few shots of his own!! The two battled their way up the ramp as Donald Blake caught Smith sleeping, blasting him in the back of the head with a tire iron!! With Samson laid out from a DDT onto a chair, Blake got Shade onto his feet, and they delivered The Capital Punishment, making the pin and scoring the one, two, and three to win back the RCW World Tag Team Championship!!!

The capacity crowd in Davis Memorial Palace was more than ready for the final battle of the evening as Night Train James stepped into the Thunderdome to challenge RCW World Champion The Executive of The Corporation!! There was no doubt about Night Train's determination, evidenced by his full-throttle attack on The Executive even before the champion was fully inside the cage!! The Train battered The CEO to the mat with axhandles and elbows, then brought him down with a few sidewalk slams and backdrop suplexes!! But The champion would not be outdone, countering a Night Train inverted atomic drop with a monstrous DDT, then locking in a dragon sleeper!! Night Train was able to power out of the hold, but The Executive came right back at him with an exploder suplex and a Boston crab!! Again, The Train was able to escape, but The CEO now had the challenger on the defensive, further mixing power moves and submission holds to the point where Night Train was having serious trouble getting back to his feet!! At one point, The Executive delivered a thunderous superplex that left Night Train laid out in the center of the ring before making a move for the cage walls!! The crowd screamed encouragement to Night Train James who was able to grab The CEO just before he made it through the hole!! Still, The Executive was in total command of the match, even delivering a power bomb before locking in The Hostile Takeover!! Night Train James was caught in the center of the ring with no escape and The CEO poured on the pressure!! Despite previous instances, this time the crowd's cheers were not enough as The Train's arms fell limp to the mat!! The Executive then took his sweet time climbing the cage walls, pulling himself through the opening and standing atop the cage, soaking in the crowds jeers!! By the time he realized that those jeers had turned to cheers, and that Night Train had made it to the opening as well, there was already a fist clamped onto his ankle and he was already being dragged down and thrown back into the ring!!! As The CEO crashed to the mat below, Night Train James dragged himself through the hole and climbed down the cage to the arena floor, winning the match and the RCW World Championship!!!
