JR: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a very special stop on our way to NACW's first Pay-Per-View, Driven. We're here in Kansas City, MO at the Sprint Center with an exclusive presentation in association with Wfigs Freedomania. I'm Good ol' J.R. and alongside me, as always, is Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.



BH: The "famous" Kansas City barbeque gave me the runs and I hate jazz, this town is terrible.

JR: Oh, now there are plenty of great things about Kansas City, but one of the many great things, Brain, is our match up tonight. "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero vs. "The Natural" Dolph Ziggler in a Money in the Bank, Anything Goes ladder match.




JR: And there you see that chance at instant super stardom, hanging high above the Sprint Center.

BH: That briefcase holds the future of this company, Ross. That briefcase is what that entire roster is looking at, and don't think for a second that the two guys in this match are the only ones that are gonna try to grab it. Remember this is anything goes! If I was a manager still, the first thing I'd tell my guy is to go out there when both of those guys are on the ground and grab that thing.

JR: It would be a tactic synonymous with you, Brain. However, this match is exclusive to these two competitors. Only one of them can have the briefcase, stated by our reclusive GM, elaborated by his voice, Eric Bischoff. As far as "Anything Goes", this thing could spill out until the lobby, the street, the audience...anything goes, Brain, but one thing is for sure, we will crown a new MITB winner tonight. Let's take it to Michael Cole, who's standing by in the ring. 

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, NACW, in association with WFIGS, proudly presents a joint production, Freedomania! Introducing first, from Hollywood, Florida with a weight of 213 lbs, "The Show Off" Dolph Ziggler!

— Ziggler's Music Hits —

JR: Dolph Ziggler was to debut at NACW's Black Friday Episode 002, but due to scheduling conflicts, Black Friday was postponed. Our GM made it clear that he felt Ziggler was slighted and decided to place him in this very lucrative match up. 

BH: That's how confident this guy is, he's going under the ladder. He doesn't care about luck. Plus, I've heard some things, Ross. This guy is apparently admired by Bischoff. Bischoff is sweet on this guy. I'm not surprised he's debuting in a MITB match. Does he deserve it, no, but that's the beauty of knowing all the right people. 

JR: That could be true, look at where you are. You didn't get here by working hard, that's for sure.

BH: Watch it Ross. 

MC: And introducing the challenger, from El Paso, Texas, weighing 228 lbs., "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero!

— Eddie's Music Hits —

JR: Guerrero, as you see, rushing out, has been in a spat, if you will, with "The Pride of Mexico" Alberto Del Rio.

BH: Del Rio was robbed! He's got a right to be heated. They had a match to move on to the next round of the I.C. Tournament and Guerrero stole one from him. Plain and simple. 

JR: I don't think we watched the same match. Following Guerrero's clean win over Del Rio, Del Rio had some bitter feelings and strong words about a retaliation.

BH: Retaliation? Are you kidding me? He wanted a fair shake? And Eric Bischoff gave him some advice. Let's get that straight.

JR: Advice is a very light analogy. It was more like firing orders. Ziggler, not wasting any time. What a debut it would be for him, if he were to capture a shot at the World Heavyweight title, whenever and wherever he pleases. 

BH: Eddie was showing off on that ladder. You don't show off in front of the "Show Off".



JR: A flurry of chops and stomps by Ziggler, and now he's setting up for a suplex. This is gonna be a fast-paced match, I can assure you. 

JR: Guerrero with a clever reversal...

JR: Oh! And a kick right to the head. Ziggler had no where to go, except head first into that powerful boot.

BH: That'll put you right out of the game early. 

JR: Ziggler is reeling, and Guerrero is setting something up...

JR: And what a dive! Putting his body on the line!



BH: If it's gonna be this type of match, I don't see these guys lasting very long. He needs to save that energy. Ladder matches are marathons. I've never seen a 5 minute ladder match, have you Ross?

JR: Not in my lifetime, And Guerrero is the first to grab at that very tall, very daunting ladder.

JR: And a dropkick by "the Show Off".

BH: Oh he telegraphed that one, Ross. I like this kid...





JR: Guerrero's upper body colliding with that barrier. And Ziggler now, tossing that ladder into the ring after applying a few cheap kicks to "Latino Heat".

BH: Cheap kicks? It's a match! You do what you gotta do to win. There's no moral committee out here.

JR: Lord knows if there was, you wouldn't have a job anymore.

BH: He's aware of Guerrero, Ross. This guy has his stuff together.

JR: Ziggler trying to hurt Guerrero!...

BH: He moved!

JR: And the tide has turned in Guerrero's favor.

BH: This won't be pretty!

JR: And Ziggler comes down hard on that steel ladder!

BH: "Latino Heat" is working on the head. Smart move. Smart move for the son of a taco salesman.

JR: That's not right at all Brain. His father happened to be famed Luchadore Gory Guerrero. Renowned the world over for his contribution to the sport of professional wrestling, and lauded none more so than in his home country of Mexico.

JR: And a quick toss to the side might buy Eddie a few extra seconds. 

BH: Are you sure, Ross? I'm pretty sure I bought a taco from a guy named Gory.

JR: Guerrero has the ladder set up! This could come to an end very quickly. 

BH: What did I tell you? This thing can't be over yet.



JR: He's climbing!!



BH: I've been wrong before....Come on Ziggler! You gotta hurry up!!



JR: Good Lord! Desperation springboard saves the match for Ziggler. Followed by some fire power from "The Show Off". 

BH: I'm impressed by this Ziggler. He's got the physique of a champion, the moves of a champion, the charisma of a champion.

JR: And Brain, if he wins here tonight, he'll have a shot at the champion. But he's gotta get through Eddie Guerrero first. No easy task at all. Ziggler has that ladder, and I think his intent is not good...



JR: OH! Shots to the gut. And continuous shots. Malicious hits to the body with that ladder. 

BH: He's using what he's been given. When you're in a ladder match ALWAYS remember that the ladder is your best friend. A way to grab the belt, yes, but also a weapon. Brains of a champion as well. I forgot to say that one.






JR: And Dolph Ziggler is "showing off" to this crowd.

BH: Not what I'd do, Ross. This is a ladder match, not a beauty contest. I may have to take my "brains of a champion" comment back.




JR: OH! And look at this!! Guerrero bent Ziggler in half on those ropes. I've never seen anything like that before, folks. Ziggler was weaved in those ropes, showing off to this crowd and "Latino Heat" capitalized. 

BH: Not only that! His foot got caught in the ropes!

JR: Guerrero sees that Brain! What an ultimate opportunity this could be! What a chance at fate!



JR: Eddie Guerrero, scaling that ladder! On the cusp of victory! Ziggler is still caught in those ropes.

BH: He's almost got it! NO! He's gonna steal this one like he stole the match against Del Rio!! It really is true, he just lies, cheats and steals everything!

JR: We're talking inches! And Ziggler looks like he's free!!



BH: He is! He's free!

JR: AND DOWN COMES GUERRERO! What a thud! My lord.

BH: Oh, how close was that!? Guerrero had his finger tips on that briefcase. The second time tonight Ziggler almost lost this thing.

JR: Extremely close. Too close for his comfort, I'm sure.

JR: And Ziggler is very unhappy about that. He's making Latino Heat pay for it. 

BH: Good! Show him he can't just climb up there willy nilly. You can't just steal matches, either.



JR: Stomp after stomp. Ziggler is ferocious. What fire. What intensity. He wants it, Guerrero wants it, there can be only 1. And now what's "The Show Off" up to?



BH: I've seen this kid make some dumb moves, but now he's thinking! He's got a little insurance policy in that steel chair.

JR: What do you suppose he'll do with that, Brain?

BH: What do you think!? He's gonna waffle him!



JR: It looks like he's climbing that ladder.

BH: I woulda mashed him up with that thing. But, if he's got the chair, and if Guerrero even tries to stop him, he'll waffle him. What an idea. See, I told you this guy was smart.

JR: Guerrero is back to his feet, and I don't think Ziggler wants to take any chances...Wait...HERE HE COMES!!

BH: AH! What an idiot!

JR: Guerrero again avoiding Ziggler and Dolph paid the price. Face first into that steel chair. 

JR: And ever the opportunist, Guerrero with an ankle lock.

BH: I can't believe Ziggler would think that was a good idea!

JR: You seemed to think it was a good plan.

BH: No I didn't. I never said anything like that. I said it might work, but I had my doubts.



JR: He hoists Ziggler up and it looks like he's setting up for a belly-to-back...

BH: He waisted too much time!

JR: Ziggler with a reversal! What a spear! He landed awkwardly on that ankle after the reversal, but had enough in his tank to make the offensive counter.

BH: I don't know whether to think this guy is a genius or an idiot. I'm lost.



CROWD: (LET'S GO EDDIE! clap clap, clap clap clap)

JR: This match, already taking it's toll on both men. You hear the crowd, pulling for Eddie Guerrero. Both men, fighting for survival here. Fighting to make it to their feet. It's been a battle thus far. Who will win?

BH: Don't count out somebody running out here and just grabbing that briefcase. I don't care what you say.

JR: Ziggler makes it to his feet first, and he's got that chair again.

BH: No more mistakes. Don't be an idiot.





JR: ZIGGLER WITH A CHAIRSHOT! And another! And another! Softening Guerrero up. Disgusting, vile shots with that chair...



BH: You call it disgusting, I call it Anything Goes, Ross. And see, that's what he should've done before jumping off that ladder like an idiot. MASH HIM UP. YES

JR: I can't believe you would condone something like that, but then again, you are "The Weasel".

JR: I assume Ziggler thinks he's got all the time in the world. Again he's taunting this capacity crowd.

BH: He is the "Show Off". You don't earn that nick name for nothing. Again, it's not what I would do, but then again, I don't have a physique like Dolph Ziggler. I mean...it's close...



JR: Ziggler is taking as much time as possible. Why? Just climb up there and grab it!!

BH: It is dumb, but he's letting these humanoids know that he utterly beat Eddie Guerrero, no questions asked.

JR: I don't know if Ziggler is aware, but Eddie is climbing back. Reaching deep down inside.

BH: He's coming back.



JR: And now Ziggler sees! It's too late!! Guerrero's adrenaline has lifted him.

JR: And now there's a battle. Back and Forth! To and Fro. Each man with powerful blows.



JR: Guerrero with a vicious smash, and Ziggler's face explodes on the top of that ladder! AND DOWN GOES ZIGGLER!

BH: The momentum though! That ladder is going down!

JR: AND GUERRERO SPILLS TO THE OUTSIDE!

BH: He landed on that camera man! Poor shmuck. Talk about wrong place, wrong time.

JR: There's carnage. Guerrero is writhing in pain on the outside. Ziggler is busted open. Both men, desperately wanting that MITB briefcase. It's a chance at the World title, whenever, wherever. It's the absolute greatest opportunity we've got here at NACW.



JR: And again...Ziggler has scratched to his feet first.



JR: As he sets up that ladder again, you see that he has been cut open by those rough ridges of that ladder.



BH: Look at his face. Guerrero got him good. That blood loss could create a problem. 

JR: Ziggler was indeed busted open by that ladder. Guerrero is squirming on the outside. And Ziggler begins his ascent.

BH: Ziggler has waisted so much time in this match and even more so now. He's too sluggish...



JR: I think he's still feeling the pain. He may be a little disoriented even.

JR: He's on his way up the ladder...

BH: Here comes Eddie!



JR: AND WHAT A MOVE by the Natural! Guerrero planted firmly into the mat.



JR: A High risk assault from that ladder leaves Dolph Ziggler with the upper hand. How much more can these men put their bodies through?

BH: I have no idea who's gonna win this. Ziggler seems to be on top, but Eddie just comes right back. Look at the eyes of Ziggler, he's thinking about that briefcase.

JR: Ziggler going back to the ladder...and again. Time after time, Eddie Guerrero will not give in. He will not give up.



BH: Ziggler is toying with him. He's got this one sealed up...

JR: NO! Guerrero! With a surprise clothesline. That may have just bought him the time he needed. But the ladder goes down too. And Ziggler lands awkwardly on it.



JR: And that's what you get for trying to toy with a former World Champion!!



BH: AND LOOK AT THAT!

Crowd erupts

JR: Brain! Ziggler is in an unpleasant position!

BH: And these idiots know what time it is...







JR: FROG SPLASH! That's gotta be it. Ziggler is rendered immobile.

BH: This crowd is going bananas.

JR: I have no clue where he found the strength to do that, but Guerrero seemingly has it put away. The ladder is being set up.



JR: He's at the top and all he has to do is grab that suitcase!!



EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME!

JR: What in the hell...

— On Titan Tron —

Eddie, I've let you walk on me for FAR too long. You know what I'm talking about. I'm tired of your control and all you ever focus on is your wrestling. So I've decided that I want NOTHING to do with you. And since you you're focus is finally here...

CROWD YELLS



...you might wanna focus on something else.



JR: ALBERTO DEL RIO!!



JR: OH GOOD GAWD! NO! NOT LIKE THIS!!

BH: What a coup! What a setup! Here we go!

JR: This is unbelievable.

BH: Anything goes! Del Rio told us to keep our eyes open and look what happened!



JR: Ziggler has willed himself up and is climbing the ladder, Del Rio, hovering above a motionless Eddie Guerrero.



JR: And Ziggler has it. He is the new NACW Money in the Bank winner. Unbelievable. A dramatic turn of events, folks.



JR: Dolph Ziggler has just been given an opportunity of a lifetime by Alberto Del Rio. And look at that sick smile on Del Rio's face? Boy, he's gonna have some hell to pay come Episode 002

BH: By all accounts, Ziggler earned that briefcase, Ross. Didn't you see him climb that ladder? And, what makes you think Guerrero wasn't the one that deserved what he got? After all, he cheated Del Rio out of the Intercontinental Tournament

JR: It's about more than an I.C. title or a MITB briefcase, Brain. At this point, there is bad blood.



JR: What kind of aftermath will ensue? Folks, you'll have to turn in to Black Friday to see what happens. We hope you've enjoyed NACW's portion of Freedomania, enjoy the rest of the show and enjoy the rest of your night. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, I'm Jim Ross, good night.
