"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results."

"The Pretender" by Foo Fighters plays as a video package for Stablewars 9 is flashed across the screen, and then soon smoke covers the view and from the smoke steps FBI in a suit and tie, with black sunglasses on, ready to make the announcements for the Stablewars 9 pre-show.
"Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to one of the biggest events of the EwC year. Tonight's pre-show will sum up the three colossal matches to take place tonight in the name of Rampage Vs. Brawl. Can Brawl keep its undefeated streak against Rampage this year or has the Golden Age of Rampage finally arrived? Well with names like BDC, Moses Lake, Lance Fiennes and Jesse Nuñez among countless others who can never be counted lessers on Brawl's side, Rampage is in for a very rough ride. But with Shadow Man and El Chupacabra at the forefront, it's not an impossible task.
So, without anything to distract us, let's start with the hype!
Our first match tonight is a six man tag team match. Sounds weak compared to the other two match-ups planned, sure, but the competitors surely aren't. You've got the hottest up and comers on Brawl in James Chambers, Matt Merricon and Johnny Burns taking on the seasoned Maddog and his partners Crazyman and DJ Jones, otherwise known as the tag team Na Fianna. With Chambers and Merricon hot with rage after their respective title shot losses, and Johnny Burns still burning with ambition, it's going to take a lot for our former Television Champion Maddog and his hard-working partners Crazyman and DJ Jones to pull out the win, but we can never count them out yet..."
A video package plays with "Rawkfist" by Thousand Foot Krutch playing showing Chambers losing at BG and Matt losing last Brawl, as well as Johnny Burns losing to Matt the Brawl before. We fade to Maddog being beaten by Level-One at Night Of Champions as well as DJ Jones and Crazyman suffering various beat downs over time. We fade to black and then as the chorus first hits we show the various competitors showing success in the past months and then Matt, Burns, Chambers, Maddog and Na Fianna all separately holding their arms up in the ring on different nights of victory before fading to an image of the Stablewars promotional image...
"That first match should be a big one to start off the night with. All the competitors are either under-rated or new to the wrestling scene so it'll be nice to see them battle with the opportunity afforded them. Surely Maddog has an advantage in the match, being the most seasoned competitor, but when you have monsters like James Chambers or the hugely successful Matt Merricon or even the talented Johnny Burns on the opposing team, it's hard to say which team, with Na Fianna to aid Maddog, will be successful.
That of course, brings us to the second match of the night. In a huge all-against-all type bout, it'll be interesting to see if the various brands will actually stick together for the most-part seeing as it appears to be a match that will reward one man, and one man only. Or could it? We'll see...
16 men are participating in this match-up, 8 from each show. On Brawl you have the likes of Sean Ferguson and Link whereas on Rampage you have, equally, the likes of Ricker and Jamal Jackson standing at the forefront of their team. Of course, with the recently returning Olypsius bolstering Rampage forces and the recently jump-shipped Alex Draven similarly with Brawl, then shit is going to hit the fan, and I can only sweat with anticipation to see who will be eliminated and who will survive... but more importantly, the remaining few... or the remaining one... which brand will he be on?"
"15 Step" by Radiohead hits as Sean Ferguson is shown losing at Battlegrounds and Link depicted absolutely destroyed last Brawl. Then, Ricker is shown having a difficult time on Brawl before picking up the US title on Rampage, followed by Jamal Jackson's loss of the US title. Highlights from other team members including brand-double crossings and the return of Olypsius flash across the screen as flashes of the few competitors that were in the Rumble In The Bronx earlier in the year set up the gist of the match, and then the competitors all holding up their hands in various successes they may have had.
"As heated up as that match is going to be, with bodies — literally — flying everywhere... it's going to be hard for the main event to top that, but when the main event is a 12 man elimination tag team match featuring Moses Lake, Lance Fiennes, Joey Orsome, BDC, Jesse Nuñez and Jay Cee on Brawl as well as Shadow Man, El Chupacabra, Level-One, Blade, Beth Harte and Angel on Rampage, then it really could be the hottest bout of the night! The question is... which brand will reign supreme? It's no doubt that this match could be the decider..."
"The Pretender" by Foo Fighters hits hard as all the competitors are shown succeeding on various occasions, and then their various mish-mash teams and feuds and whatnot. Moses Lake, Lance Fiennes, Joey Orsome as well as Shadow Man, El Chupacabra and Level-One are shown holding their title belts high while the others look on. The Night Of Champions stable-skirmish and the various brand invasions over the past few weeks also light up the screen then before flashes of all the competitors in past matches and whatnot clashing over time finish off the package with the Brawl and Rampage logos hovering across the screen...
"There may only be three matches on the card tonight, ladies and gentlemen, but they're all worth a hundred more! This is EwC Stablewars 9... only on Pay-Per-View. This is the ultimate brand-versus-brand mainstage and only one brand will reign supreme... can Brawl keep its undefeated streak going or is Rampage's time to shine now?
If you haven't ordered the event yet already then GET OFF YOUR FAT ARSE AND ORDER, COCKFACE!!!"
The show fades to a quick promotion for the pay-per-view before its start...
