Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know, ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify, defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key, we'll break in
The Bruiserweight Title has a lineage in the Nation of Wrestling dating back to almost it's origins. The Bruiserweight title will be on the line as Rage Hammer puts the title on the line against the massive Dick Shrader. Do they know their enemy?
Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy
Know your enemy
Yeah
Hey yo, get with this, uh
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
The mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy
Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key, we'll break in
Dave Jumper is the only man to hold all the titles NoW has to offer, and he's currently held the National Title longer than anyone has EVER held a title in the Nation of Wrestling. He's declared the National Title more prestigious than the Heavyweight Title and it's hard to argue with him. Someone else is on a roll is Masters of Blood leader Rowdy Richie. He's run the Lords of Asgard out of the Nation of Wrestling and he just won a 16 man tournament to get a shot at Dave Jumper. These two have a past in NoW as they've crossed paths many times. They Know their Enemy.
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of you
Time has come to pay
Know your enemy
Come on
The road to the Heavyweight Title has been a rough one for many people.... In this era of the NoW 6 men have held the title.....tonight Italian Roc puts it on the line in a fatal fourway against 3 of them, Axel Kaiser, Manslaughter and CPL Punishment. These men know their Enemy.
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise
Conformity
Assimilation
Submission
Ignorance
Hypocrisy
Brutality
The elite
A picture of each competitor in the Heavyweight Title match appears on the screen.
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams......
The Oakley Lindsey Center is packed as we begin the fourth ever Know Your Enemy Tournament. We kick it off with Ted Lavigne and Pace against the other half of 'The Mates" Ambrosia who was teamed with former Heavyweight Champion Donald Dodge Dodson. The end of the match came when Ted Lavigne hit the 'Devine Intetvention' on Ambrosia to advance him and Pace.
The next pairings saw Big Crazy teaming with newcomer Dick Hurtz against another newcomer The Mexicutioner and the flamboyant Levi Carmina. The Mexicutioner was impressive in his debut, hitting the Burrito Boomerang on Big Crazy to advance his team. After the match Levi Carmina tried to hug him and the Mexicutioner hit the Burrito Boomerang on him as well.
Mayhem and Tank Sinatra were paired together against Jeb Hickory and Ivan Breznev in the next bout. Mayhem and Tank Sinatra were never really on the same page and Mayhem fell victim to a running powerslam from Ivan Breznev and he and Hickory advanced.
The final match up of the first round saw Avery Amazing and Marcus Claudaine squaring off against the other member of the Twin City Saints Damien James Reiker and BeeHeMoth. BeeHeMoth rolled during this match and defeated Avery Amazing before either member of the Twin City Saints could even get into the match.
The Bruiserweight Title was on the line as Dick Shrader challenged Rage Hammer in a great match. Rage Hammer started off the match quickly taking a chair to Dick Shrader. Rage Hammer came off the top rope and was caught with a snap powerslam by Shrader. Shrader then took the chair and used it to his advantage against the Champion. Shrader came off the rope with a big elbow and pinned Rage Hammer to pick up his first Bruiserweight championship, leaving him just a Heavyweight Title win away from being a Grand Slam Champion.
Round 2 of the Know your Enemy Tournament saw Ivan Breznev and Jeb Hickory team up again to face the pair of Levi Carmina and Ted Lavigne. Breznev and Hickory weren't so lucky this time and were defeated as Lavigne hit the Devine Intervention on Jeb Hickory to advance to the semi finals.
The second quarterfinal match had Damien James Reiker and Pace squaring off with the Mexicutioner and BeeHeMoth. BeeHeMoth ended up taking the pin from Reiker as he and Pace advanced. After the match the Mexicutioner hit the Burrito Boomerang on BeeHeMoth.
The next match was a classic contest for the National Title between two Nation of Wrestling Veterans Rowdy Richie and Dave Jumper. This match was back and forth even seein Dick Shrader coming down to the ring as did Big Crazy, BeeHeMoth and Tank Sinatra. Dave Jumper hit a Jump the Shark on Rowdy Richie but Richie kicked out. Richie went to hit the End of the Line but Jumper slipped out and hit another Jump the Shark and picked up the pinfall in a hard fought battle. Shrader came into the ring to celebrate with Jumper as they held up their four titles. Jumper took the microphone and said he was tired of hearing about the Masters of Blood run the NoW and that he and Dick Shrader are a two man stable that runs the joint. He challenged any tag team in the back to come down and face them right now. Anyone except members of the Masters of Blood. The Mexicutioner came down and said he didn't need a tag team partner to defeat them and he'd take them both on right now. Dick Hurtz came down as well and accept the challenge. President Richmond came to the stage and said he was in a giving mood tonight and since Jumper wanted to fight so bad, he would be more than happy to oblige and made The Mexicutioner and Dick Hurtz vs. Dave Jumper and Dick Shrader. Hurtz and the Mexicutioner weren't exactly on the same page about who was going to start the match but Jumper attacked the Mexicutioner right off the bat as the bell rang. The Masters of Blood were still at ringside and Rowdy Richie distracted Jumper and he turned around and the Mexicutioner hit the Burrito Boomerang yet again and pinned Jumper to win the Tag Team titles! The Masters of Blood laughed as Jumper and Shrader were shocked!
The next match was the semifinals of the Know Your Enemy tournament as Ted Lavigne was paired with Damien James Reiker against Levi Carmina and his cohort Pace. Carmina and Pace worked very well together as they kept Lavigne in their corner and they picked up the victory after Carmina hit 'The Dance' on Ted Lavigne.
The Finals started immediately as Carmina and Pace squared off. Pace shook Carmina hand and as they shook hands Pace tapped out, handing the Know Your Enemy finale to his friend Carmina. Carmina celebrated his victory as the crowd booed the collusion between Pace and Carmina
The fatal fourway for the Heavyweight Title was full of fast and furious action. Axel Kaiser seemed hell bent form the beginning going right after Roc to go for a Fix Your Face on Roc but was hit by a spear from CPL Punishment. Punishment and Kaiser spilled to the outside of the ring leaving Manslaughter and Italian Roc in the ring. These two went back and forth and Manslaughter eventually picked him up and press slammed him on Punishment and Kaiser who were brawling on the outside. Manslaughter controlled the ring, begging any one of his competitors. CPL Punishment was the one to answer the call and he got into the ring with Manslaughter. Manslaughter controlled this part of the match up against CPL Punishment and hit the Meat Grinder but Axel Kaiser broke up the pinfall. This seemed to trigger Manslaughter and he threw Kaiser out of the ring and pulled a chainsaw out from under the ring and nailed Kaiser with it. The crowd was stunned as Manslaugher started up the chainsaw but before he could do anymore damage with it Manslaughter's security jumped in and struggled to get the chainsaw away from him and and it took six men to get him into a straight jacket. From the top of the ramp a mysterious man we had never seen before motioned for the security guards to bring Manslaughter to him. In the meantime, Italian Roc had got into the ring, hit the Roc Slide on CPL Punishment and picked up the victory. The Know Your Enemy theme played as Roc held up his title and Levi Carmina came to the ramp flanked by the Mates to let Roc know he was coming for the title.
