TAZ vs. RAVEN vs. MIKE FLYNN » "HARD TIME" NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH » AUG. 2, 2006

In mid-January, the New Breed invaded the PWF with hopes of bringing it to its knees. In August of the same year, though, the New Breed had exploded and was at war with one another. This "Hard Time" match from La Mala Sombra sent the losers to a Mexican jail for a night ... if they survived the brutal contest, which was made No Holds Barred by Raven.

(We pan around a sold-out Arena Monterrey.)

PA SYSTEM:
["WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" by GUNS N' ROSES] ...

Roddy Piper:
An' speak of the devil.

(Flynn steps out to a round of boos from the crowd, but as usual, he doesn't care at all. Actually, he still looks pretty ticked off about the way the night has gone so far.)

Roddy Piper:
Damn, man ... he don't seem too happy. But look, who in the world was expectin' The King to come back tonight? I know I wasn't. If Mike's got a brain in his head, he'll forget about all that stuff an' try to concentrate on beatin' two of his former friends. 'Cause I'm tellin' ya, man, this ain't gonna be a cake-walk out there.

(Flynn steps through the ropes, stomping around the ring in anger. He rips his "VCW" shirt off and throws it into the crowd.)

Roddy Piper:
For all intents an' purposes, Flynn is out to make a name for himself in this match. I think he thinks Raven an' Taz have held him back all these years, an' tonight is the night he can change all that. Prove 'em wrong, I guess.

PA SYSTEM:
DEAF, AND BLIND, AND DUMB, AND ...
... BORN TO FOLLOW!

(And out of the smoke, it's the Raven, easily getting more cheers than Flynn was. Alicia Rae also steps out with him, but he immediately begins yelling at her. She looks confused, but he demands she go backstage. After a bit of refusal, she eventually does.)

Roddy Piper:
Well, I don't know what in the hell that was all about. Maybe Raven wants to go at this alone, or maybe he's afraid she'll be a distraction. 'Cause we all know this one ain't got no rules. An' that bein' the case, maybe she don't need to be around the ring durin' this one.

(Raven slowly rolls into the ring, rising up to his knees. He simply stares at Flynn, hair hanging all over his face. Mike points at him, telling him, "Get ready for failure, bitch.")

Roddy Piper:
These two right here would give us a helluva match, man. But throw Taz into the mix as well? Damn, this is gonna be crazy. The three former members of the New Breed goin' at it.

PA SYSTEM:
["WAR MACHINE" by KISS] ...

(As the arena goes dark -- and orange lights light up the crowd in-sync with the music -- Flynn and Raven both look at the stage with disgust.)

Roddy Piper:
An' it don't get much more intense than this guy. Taz is a one-man wreckin' crew, an' has been for years. An' a No Holds Barred match is his kinda match.

(The music fully kicks in, and out walks Taz, black towel over his head and "FTW" taped wrists.)

Roddy Piper:
We haven't really heard a lot out of Taz this week, but you've gotta believe he's ready for this one. Wait ... Taz just ripped the towel off his head. Why? OH! That's why! Raven and Flynn just met him on the middle of the ramp, an' they're layin' into him. (lights come on, and the music stops) Wait ... now it's all three of 'em sluggin' away at each other! (bell sounds) I should'a known they couldn't wait any longer.

["Hard Time" No Holds Barred match: Taz vs. Raven vs. Magnificent Mike Flynn]

(With no rules and nothing holding them back, they're letting it all go! It doesn't matter who the blows are for, as long as they connect. Hold on, Taz is nailing the both of them now ... OH! And Raven goes down after that shot. Taz grabs Flynn, and he's taking him to the ring. He throws him underneath the bottom rope, slides in, and he's right back at him. Taz hooks him up ... double-underhook suplex on Flynn! Oh, and he rolls it over into an armbar. Taz grinds an elbow into Flynn's head, and this is exactly what he wanted ... holds he could lock on with no limitations. Wait, Raven's outside the ring, and he's got the apron up. Oh, boy ... he just tossed a trash can full of weapons into the ring, and they've gone spilling out all over that mat. That didn't take long at all. Raven slowly rolls in, and Mike is still trying to break free of this armbar. OH! That problem was solved real quick by Raven, because he just cracked a Singapore cane across Taz's skull! Flynn has been temporarily sav-... OH! There's a shot for Mike, as well, and Raven is in full control. He drops the cane and ... he's sitting in the corner? Raven drops down and takes a seat, and he's just sitting there. What in the world is up with this guy?

Taz is the first to get up, although slowly. Flynn's up as well ... Taz charges him ... Mike drills him down with a clothesline. Taz back up ... back down with another one. Raven just sits back and watches this all take place. Flynn takes down Taz again with a third clothesline, picks him back up, and he throws him into the corner. Mike starts to wail away on him with right hands ... no, Taz slings him into the corner instead ... right hands from Taz ... uh, oh. He's got him! TAZPLEX! NO! Taz attempts one, but Flynn drives a knee into his midsection. OH, and he pulls him straight backwards into the turnbuckle, face-first. Raven ... well, he continues to just watch this match continue, and the fans are chanting for Taz to get back in this. Flynn drills in a couple of stomps to Taz's back, and now he pulls him out of the corner. Wait, Taz grabs him, and he applies a headlock on Flynn! He's got him in a side-headlock, and he's ... OH! Flynn sends Taz right outside of the ring, flying over the top rope! Taz goes crashing down to the floor, and Mike is starting to gain control of the situ-... OH MY! Raven saw the opportune moment to strike, and he chop blocked Flynn from behind. He sets a chair ... starts the Irish whip ... BOOM! Drop toe-hold on Flynn, right into the chair. Now we know what this was all about, with the waiting. Raven's going for the win with Taz down on the outside.

Wait, that's a little too quick on that assumption. Raven ties it up with Flynn, and Taz is starting to get up out there. Hold on ... Flynn fights out of the grapple and pushes Raven into the corner. Flynn backs up a little bit ... whoa, Raven's mocking Mike from the corner! OH! Mike just slapped him right across the face! He didn't care for that too much. He pulls Raven out into the middle of the ring ... here's the tie-up ... NO! Taz comes in and levels them both with a 2x4! Both men grab their faces in pain as Taz breaks it over his knee. The crowd goes crazy, and Taz is on the attack. He picks Raven up ... sends him to the ropes ... OH, that's a big sidewalk slam on Raven! The cover! 1 ... 2 ... Raven quickly kicks out. Taz picks Raven up ... no, Flynn grapples Taz from behind ... release German suplex! Taz is down, and Flynn's going for the cover! 1 ... Raven breaks it up! He grabs Flynn ... applies a headlock ... no, Mike's reversing it ... right into a back suplex! Flynn with the cover. 1 ... 2 ... Taz breaks it up! This is the kind of thing we knew was going to happen, here. Taz sends Mike to the ropes with the whip ... and he takes him out with a HUGE clothesline. Damn, that was brutal. Mike's not down and out, though, and he comes back at Taz with some rights. Wait, Taz gets him in a waistlock, driving him into the corner. He keeps the waistlock on ... and he set him up ... he's going for the northern lights suplex! NO, Flynn fights back ... DDT! Flynn covers him ... 1 ... 2 ... Raven breaks it up with an elbow drop. How many times will this happen?

Mike tries to shake off the move as Raven lifts him up ... wait, Taz is helping Raven. They whip Flynn over into the corner, and they're working him over! Taz and Raven double-team Flynn in the corner with chokes and punches, and the crowd is eating this up. OH! Nevermind that partnership, because Taz just clotheslined Raven clean over the top rope! Out of nowhere! Raven hits the floor hard, and Taz ... uh, oh. Flynn's fighting back in the corner. He's drilling home the punches, and he's not stopping. Flynn keeps throwing the rights ... charges ... Samoan drop on Flynn! Taz covers him ... 1 ... 2 ... what the hell!? Raven pulls Taz out before the three count. Damn, Taz nearly had this thing! Raven grabs Taz by the head, whips him ... and the steel steps go flying as Taz crashes into them. Raven picks him up, throws him back in the ring ... and he's looking for a weapon to use on Taz, now. Raven's searching for something ... oh, he's got a stop sign. He picks it up to ... DEAR LORD! Mike Flynn just dropkicked it right into his face! Raven goes flat on the mat, and Mike picks the sign up. No, Taz smacks the sign away, and he grabs Flynn ... belly-to-belly suplex, right onto the trash can. Mike's out cold now, and Taz is in full control. He picks up a limp Raven by the hair ... he's gonna do it! TAZPLEX! NO! Raven drills in a couple of knees, and ... he's got him! EVEN FLOW! NO! Flynn shoved a broomstick underneath them and low-blowed them both! Raven hits the mat in pain and Taz ... Flynn's got him up! MAGNIFICENT MOVE! He nailed it! Cover! 1 ... 2 ... 3!)

PA SYSTEM:

(Flynn jumps up, pointing to himself as he yells at the crowd. Hebner tries to raise his arm in victory, but he yanks it away.)

Roddy Piper:
I don't believe it ... Flynn just won this thing! Raven looked all set to Even Flow Taz straight to hell, but ya saw it like I did. Mike low-blowed 'em both, an' he's walkin' out of here the winner!

(Flynn continues to mess with the crowd. Raven rolls around in pain, still grabbing his crotch. Taz isn't moving much at all. Mike approaches a cameraman on the outside apron.)

Mike Flynn:
Did you just see that? I TOLD you that was going to happen. And after what I just did, you can call me the VCW World Heavyweight Champion!

Roddy Piper:
What the hell is he talkin' about? Boy, oh, boy ... it never ends with Flynn. It really, really don't.

(Flynn looks down on both Raven and Taz with digust, and rolls out of the ring. He chants "V-C-W" on his way up the ramp. The crowd's boos continue.)
