MELTDOWN RESULTS 5-9-01
Mike Byrd, The Flame, Zippy, and the Toad come to the ring for their fourway hard*core title match. The match is total chaos, with Toad leading the way for the most part. The Flame and Zippy seem to team together, however, and take Toad down. Suddenly, Freak runs to the ring with a steel chair. He slides in and hits Zippy! Zippy goes down, and the Flame loads Zippy up for the Big Red Bomb! However, Toad covers Byrd on the outside for the win. Flame hits Zippy with the Bomb, and Freak grabs a mic. They confess to being the men that assaulted Gidget last week, and walk off. Zippy is helped to the back. WINNER- And still Hard*core champion, TOAD via Pinfall
Toxic and Shane Lane head to the ring for their first round US title match. Lane gets the early advantage, really taking it to Toxic. However, Toxic comes back, and hits a Toxic Waste for the win. Toxic is moving on to Shockwave for the US title. WINNER- Toxic via pinfall
Next up is Capo and Luke Hanson. The crowd is really into this match, and is very much against Capo. Capo takes the advantge through most of the match, occasionally stopping to taunt the bigger Fueler, and shout at the crowd. However, finally, as Capo turns around, Hanson springs up and hits him with a big spear for the three count, in what is one of his few offensive moves. Capo is pissed, as Hanson walks to the back to face Toxic at Shockwave. WINNER- Luke Hanson via Pinfall
We then head to ringside for the Tag Title Match. Assassin One and Mikado come to the ring, followed by the Hustlers. Bryan speaks of the rumors that King has quit GCW. The match begins, and King simply walks away. Chameleon is left alone against the two assassins, and Mikado, winner of the debut battle royal, ends it with a spinning heel kick from the top rope. Chameleon walks away, dejected, but still with his Cruiserweight title belt. WINNERS- And new Tag Team Champions, Assassin One and Miakdo

(Yale’s voice is drowned out by cheers. The Establishment looks around to see what’s going on, and someone runs in from the crowd and begins attacking Reed and Toxic.)
Bryan- Wait, WHO THE HELL IS THAT?! Is that who I think it is?!
Yale- That’s 8-Ball! What in the hell is he doing here?! I thought he was the CWU champion! Why is he here?!
