PWF Sudden Impact 2008
May 24, 2008

-During the Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko vs. The Extreme Horsemen (Jay and Mark
Briscoe) PWF World Tag Team Championship match, Extreme Horsemen member Steve
Corino hit the ring and went after Benoit and Malenko. Kurt Angle immediately
hit the ring and nailed Storm. The referee cleared Corino out of the ring as
Angle hit the Angle Slam on Mark Briscoe. Malenko applied the Texas Cloverleaf
and won the match for his team via submission. Angle got on the microphone and
proclaimed the new trio of himself, Benoit and Malenko as Team Tap Out.

-During the Chris Hero vs. Bret Hart PWF World Heavyweight Championship match,
Hart hit Hero with a German suplex and both men's shoulders were pinned to the
mat as the referee counted the double pin, resulting in Hero retaining his
World Heavyweight Championship. A stunned Hart shook Hero's hand and raised it
in the air. Hart was met by Hart Foundation members Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith
and Chris Jericho, as they bid him goodbye, based off his pre-match statements.
Hart hugged his brother Owen and quickly slammed him to the ground. Claudio
Castagnali quickly hit the ring and laid out Smith and Jericho. Hart got on the microphone and told everyone that they can shove their allegiances up their
asses because he's found a new one and a new way of thinking. Hart and Hero
shook hands as associates to massive boos from the crowd. Security had to
restrain fans from jumping the guard rail. Hero proclaimed this the era of the
Kings of Wrestling. A stunned Steve Corino came to the ring followed by his
Extreme Horsemen (CM Punk, Colt Cabana, C.W. Anderson, Simon Diamond, Scotty
Anton, Lance Storm, Jay and Mark Briscoe). Corino began shoving Hero and
demanded he hand over the World Heavyweight Championship he allowed him to win.
Storm walked in between Hero and Corino and stood by his hero Bret Hart. Storm
flipped off Corino and his Extreme Horsemen. Hero, Hart, Castagnoli and Storm
walked passed a speechless Corino out of the ring to massive boos from the
crowd. Punk demanded a response from Corino. Punk stared at what was left of
the once dominant Extreme Horsemen and left the group, followed by Colt Cabana,
Jay and Mark Briscoe. Anderson, Diamond and Anton stood by Corino as he stood
in the ring enraged.
