We open to everyone's favorite interviewer Ace Heart ... backstage in the heart of the EWC Arena. He sits behind a desk, hands clasped, and ready to start...

Ace Heart: Extreme Wrestling Corporation has risen from the ashes like the mythological phoenix and tonight signifies a huge milestone in EWC's 18 year history. Tonight, only on PPV, is the 10th ever edition of Stranglemania. Tonight we will prepare you for the future all while showing you just what to expect -- excellence personified.

Ace Heart: Tonight's opener would main event on any other stage. Weeks ago, Michael Saint used his weekly show Bottomline as a bully pulpit to call out Project Chaos member Gabreal Martin. The assistant General Manager stands against the group of men who certainly live up to their namesake. Tonight, Saint clashes with Martin -- one on one. Falls. Count. Anywhere. The ring will not contain these two men. They will fight on the outside. In the crowd. Backstage. In the streets. Anywhere a fight can be had -- they will be there. What will it settle? Will Project Chaos involve themselves despite the mandate from Saint? Will Saint land a crushing blow to the ego of Gabreal Martin or will Martin humble the EWC legend for "stepping up" to his perceived greatness? You can find out tonight ... but only on PPV! StrangleMania X is tonight! You wouldn't believe who is going to be watching!

Back to Ace Heart, at the backstage Stranglemania X studio...

Ace Heart: The International Championship lives up to its name as thirty seven wrestlers from all different walks of life will fight for the right to claim it from a hellish triple tiered structure that President Mac has dubbed the Insanity Cage. Believe me, it is insane. Stuff thirty seven bloodthirsty gladiators into a barbed wire cage hell. They will need scratch and claw their way up one ladder into a second tier of the cage. Twenty seven dreams will be crushed in an instant as ten move on to a ghoulish container that will the remaining fighters to permeate grievous harm on each other with vicious armaments that are provided to them. Don't expect any wristlocks here -- expect barbed wire bats and blades to maim and disfigure. In our tribute to what may constitute as "March Madness" we bring you the final four -- the maddest of them all because the only way to win is possibly end someone's career. A human being will throw another off the top of this tower of terror and we have so kindly provided a nice soft landing -- tables set ablaze! Whoever walks International Champion this evening at Stranglemania X will have committed atrocities against humanity -- and you can see it tonight only on PPV!

Zzyzx gets up from the mat in frustration, yelling at the ref. As she distracts the ref, Alex Tripp begins to attack Insanity. Insanity is picked up and nearly swung into the steel stairs, but reverses. Alex Tripp does a flip over the steel stairs, knocking them clear across the mats on the outside. Zzyzx is still arguing with the ref. A fan hands Insanity a frying pan from over the barricade. He uses this on Tripp as he gets up off the mat. He throws it under the ring and returns to the ring like nothing happened. Bridges is now up, and is on the second turnbuckle. He hits a flying elbow into Zzyzx. Insanity arrives just in time to go on the offensive with Bridges before he can take the cover. Insanity and Bridges trade punches for a few seconds. Bridges get the best of the punches, knocking him down. Insanity pops up, and is hit with a hard powerslam. Insanity lies nearly knocked out on the mat. Bridges picks him up, and begins to set up for the Lyon Bomb!!



MM: Uh oh! Insanity may be in trouble!



CH: Look out!



Bridges lifts Insanity up high into the air, pauses a minute…Insanity slips off his back. Bridges turns around and is dazed with a European uppercut. Insanity hooks Bridges arm, swings him into the air, and connects with the Last Rites! Insanity takes the cover on Bridges!



MM: Is Captain Insanity going to win here! Last Rites! It’s all over!! The referee takes the count!...

CH: He earned it. What a match!



Chriqui: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND THE NEW EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION….CAPTAIN…..INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!



The referee lifts Captain Insanity’s hand in the air as the other two competitors lie cold on the mat. He is handed the belt, and begins to celebrate as he exits the ring and begins to walk to the back.

Back to Ace Heart...

Ace Heart: Pardon the pun, but the next match is simply electrifying. Let's set the stage, Rumble in the Bronx 2013. The final two men battled for a shot at the EWC championship and their names were Jay Cee and Jaden Hunter (aka Xplode). In that encounter's riveting final moments, X came out victorious. X secured himself a shot at immorality. Or so he thought... EWC unceremoniously took a hiatus. But nothing can keep us down for long and tonight only on PPV, StrangleMania X will be the battlegrounds between these two men once again. And no you aren't experiencing Deja vu, a shot at the EWC Championship is on the line! Job titles may have changed but the professional hatred between these two men will send volts of pain throughout their bodies and barbs will rip their flesh and skin. President Mac will return to this ring this evening as he is the only official brave enough to ensure a definite result. Jay Cee and X settle their differences ... tonight at Stranglemania X! 

---

Ace Heart is back...

Ace Heart:  As you'll see later on in our pre show, the United States title has had its share of great moments at StrangleMania. Tonight three wrestlers have the opportunity to make history in a barbaric exploding ring scaffold match. Either Madison Mitchell, Ash Scion, or Floyd Shooter will brave the dangerous heights above the C4 laced squared circle and potentially maim and destroy their opponents. All three of these competitors are out spoken. All of them have very different motives ... but only one will become the United States Champion. You can see the grand explosion but only on PPV tonight. Who will stand tall at Stranglemania X?

---

The fans are on the edge of their seats, as both Beth and Crazyman can hardly move. Crazyman stands and picks Beth up. He pulls her into the corner and with every ounce of strength left in him, picks her up and sits her on the top rope. Crazyman climbs up to the top rope himself. He stands Beth up but she hits him with a right hand. Crazyman teeters back and forth and throws a right hand of his own. They exchange blows back and forth, both on the verge of collapsing, with very little room to maneuver.



Beth gauges Crazyman in the eyes and jumps up in the air. She wraps her legs around his head and delivers a Hurricanranna off the top rope. Crazyman flies half way across the ring and lands on top of the bed of barbwire. Beth crawls back to the corner, slowly climbs to the top rope. She stands facing the crowd and once again backflips off and lands on Crazyman with The Harte Attack. She rolls Crazyman off the barbwire and covers him, not even with enough strength to hook a leg.

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The bell sounds and Beth Harte stands to her feet as the fans cheer. The referee hands Beth her US Title. She grabs one of the barbwire bats. Beth raises the US Title up with one hand and the bat with the other as the official announcement is made.



"Your winner, and STILL EWC United States Champion, Beth Harte!!!"


Beth Harte celebrates her win in the ring as Crazyman gets to his feet. The ref's hand Beth the US and TV Title's as Crazyman comes over. Crazyman gives Beth a congrats and starts to leave, but Beth calls for a mic.



Beth Harte: Please come back to the ring Crazyman



Crazyman stops midway before turning around. Crazyman gets back in the ring posed for another battle.

Back to Ace Heart for the next preview...

Ace Heart: Tonight to become the World Champion one must face a possibly unsurmountable test of endurance. Mark Storm and Ruby will attempt to throw each other through hard wood and razor sharp glass to have the honor of being the next EWC champion? Will Ruby weather the storm or will she be engulfed by it? Find out tonight only on PPV!

---

Ace Heart to relays the horror of the upcoming Hardcore Title match...

Ace Heart: The eccentric Derek Wellings must conquer the legendary Shadow Man to become Hardcore Champion and all the same Shadow Man must live up to his legend to defeat a very hungry Derek Wellings. Both men though must be wary because where they battle is indeed a Chamber of Horrors. Electricity, razor wire, barbed wire, an unescapable cage -- there is no way out. The option to win this way is merely a joke. The horrors laugh at these two as they beat each other within an inch of their lives ... all to become champion. We see the result of their battle in mere moments ONLY on PPV!

---

We finally join Ace as he previews the Stranglemania X main event...

Ace Heart: And now we move on to our main event ... two amazing athletes this evening have a chance to make history. Damien Kingston. Ruthless Aggression. They have both showed well since the resurrection of Extreme Wrestling Corporation. Both have fought hard to earn this great honor to fight for EWC Championship on the grandest stage of them all. They will indeed Rage within the Cage. The key hangs from the roof of the cage -- to win, one must retrieve it and exit the cage. That is only way to win -- to escape the brutality that these two will inflict upon each other. Will Damien Kingston finally back up his words and become champion ... or will Ruthless Agression become the FIRST ever woman to hold the EWC Championship? Who will break? You only have seconds before the GREATEST PPV of all time begins ...

A countdown appears .... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Live From the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans
Commentators: Joe Aiello & Jeremy Piven
Announcer: Jessica Stroup
Head Ref: Earl Hebner
Backstage help: Ace Heart

"Psychopath Killer" by Slaughterhouse blasts in the Stadium.


The opening pyros & fireworks explode all over the arena and here we go.





The energy in New Orleans is electrifying.




Spotlights circle around the arena as the 75,000+ fans in the venue are shown in a wide angle shot. The camera then pans out showing a full scale view of the jam packed arena and zooms in on some crazy fans.

A chant begins of

EWC

EWC

EWC

EWC

EWC

EWC

EWC

EWC

The fans in the arena cheer loudly as fireworks emit from the stage area! The explosions continue to rock the arena repeatedly, causing the fans to cheer with each burst. The explosions finally come to an end just short of the entrance area, finishing off with a finale consisting of a smokey display. As the fans continue to cheer, the television feed promptly switches to the announcer's booth.

Sitting at the announcer's booth is Joey Aiello and Jeremy Piven. Sitting with a smile upon his face, Joey looks at the camera, a dark brown shirt upon his torso that reads "SM-X".

Joey Aiello: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to StrangleMania X, my name is Joe Aiello and next to me is Jeremy Piven. The excitement leading up to tonight has been absolutely incredible. Social Media has been taken over with talk about StrangleMania and the absolutely insane matches we have in store for you tonight

Jeremy Piven: That's right. this new era of the EWC has captivated the attention of everyone world wide. This isn't your grand fathers EWC, this is the NEW EWC. The home of greatness and heart stopping action

Joey Aiello: Tonight we have all five singles belts on the line, and each match is more insane then the one before it. When we look back over the last six episodes of Monday Night Brawl we could see some major discontent building between President Mac and Xplode who have had some very different views and opinions on how the EWC should be run. President Mac looked as if he was about to lose control of the company he built

Jeremy Piven: That's true, and if Mac hadn't put before Xplode what he so greatly craved.. things could be very different heading into tonight. However Xplode was given the option to come out of retirement for an opportunity Mac knew he wouldn't refuse. In return, Xplode handed back the majority control of the EWC and Monday Night Brawl. Tonight we find out if Xplode made the right move, or if maybe Mac has another trick up his sleeve to really stick it to Xplode

The lights dim.



The ExtremeTron flickers on.



The letters P R E S I D E N T M A C flash across the screen.



The 75,170 in attendance jump to there feet in excitement and start pounding there feet on the ground and clapping there hands creating the sound:



BoomBoom CLAP!

BoomBoom CLAP!

BoomBoom CLAP!



Coming Undone by Korn now begins to blast over the P.A

Joey Aiello: And here he is.. the President of the EWC .. Danny Mac

The camera follows Mac walking from outside the arena all the way to him stepping out onto the stage. Mac stands at the entrance taking in all the chants and cheers. He then starts walking down the rampway, he stops at ringside and looks around the arena as the fans reach out the camera flashes flicker on and off all around the arena. Stepping into the ring, he accepts a microphone and waits for the fans to calm down before speaking.

Hello New Orleans

The fans continue to cheer loudly as Mac raises his hand up high and waves to each corner of the Arena. Signs of "BIG MAC" and "MAC ATTACK" are being waved about by the fans

I want to thank all of you who are here tonight, and to the Millions and Millions watching from Home, in Theaters, Clubs, Pubs, on Tablets and Computer screens world wide. Thank you for tuning in tonight for StrangleMania X. 

The fans begin cheering once more as Mac paces the ring.

Joey Aiello: This place is absolutely rocking tonight. Incredible. 

Mac waits for the applause to die down before speaking once more.

It has been a long long road to get us to this point. Many people didn't think the EWC would last a week or even a month in our return, let alone be able to come out with a tenth StrangleMania. But that has been our entire Eighteen Year dance hasn't it? We have always played the underdog in this game we play. Yet, event after event, here we are, for eighteen years, setting the standard. Raising the bar. Here we are, united.. a family. The EWC will never die. The EWC will never go away. The EWC is for LIFE

The fans are cheering even louder then before

StrangleMania has always meant something different to each person. Whether you are here in the stands, or with friends, or fighting right here in this ring tonight, StrangleMania means something unique to you. To each person. StrangleMania has been an event that I have often struggled to get made. We have battled the US Government, the FCC, angry media and parents. They have all at one time or another banded together to prevent StrangleMania from being aired, or even made at all

Many boos fill the arena now

It's ok, that's what I said to .. more or less

The fans begin to laugh and start chanting "EWC" loudly

Yet here we are, not with the Eighteenth StrangleMania but with the Tenth. StrangleMania has always been about turning things up to the next level. Not everyone is a fan of the gimmick style matches we air on StrangleMania, but lets be honest.. this is why you are all here tonight .. isn't it? 

The camera pans around the arena as the fans chant "HELL YES" in unison 

With StrangleMania, it's all about putting everything you have on the line. Right now I am talking to every single Man and Woman that has a match here tonight. I am directing my attention to every single person backstage right now, sitting in their locker rooms going over whatever pre-match rituals they all go through. You all have a screen in your rooms right now, and I know you can all see and hear me right now. So listen up

Mac pauses, looks at the cameras and continues

There may be people that have more talent than you, but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do. When you walk into this ring here tonight, no matter the match, no matter the circumstance, no matter the opponent, you give it your all. You give it everything. Every ounce. Every drop of blood in you. You keep going and keep going and KEEP going.

The fans cheer

Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement. You might think you have given it your all, and you might feel like you just can't keep going.. but champions keep going until they get it right. I have never left the ring saying 'I could have done more to get ready' and that gives me piece of mind. Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

Mac pauses

There are 86,400 seconds in a day, and how you use those are critical. Don't worry about yesterday, last week, last year. Worry about today! Worry about right now. This moment. This fight. This night. This is all that matters. Right here and right now, with these Seventy-Thousand Plus people here with you

The fans are really into it, cheering Mac on

You will never be successful until you turn your pain into greatness. Until you allow your pain to push you from where you are, to where you want to be. GREATNESS is a lot of small things done well. Day after Day. Workout after Workout. Day after Day. Tonight is where you get to prove it to everyone. The thousands here and the millions watching world wide. Tonight you ALL become a house hold name

The fans cheer Mac on as he concludes

You were born to be a EWC Superstar. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours. Take it!.

Mac drops the mic and the fans explode even louder then before. Mac climbs each turnbuckle and raises his arms as he embraces the fans cheering

Joey Aiello: The master of hype has done it again. Mac has come out and not only motivated every single person here in attendance, but I guarantee you that the entire roster has soaked up every single word Mac said tonight

Jeremy Piven: That's the difference right there Joe, Mac cares about this company but more importantly he cares about each person on this roster. It doesn't matter what the hell is going on behind the scenes or what beefs exist, Mac will always do what he can to make sure every single person on this roster has his or her moment to shine. Him coming out here to motivate the roster, is just proof that there is no other federation like the EWC. 

President Mac heads up the ramp and we get a few more shots of the fans

Joey Aiello: Well President Mac may have set the tone, but things are about to get really insane really fast. We have Michael Saint making his return, Jay Cee making his return, Xplode coming out of retirement, Shadow Man going after the Hardcore title once again and of course Damien Kingston trying to realize his life long dream of being the EWC Champion. 

Jeremy Piven: With all the titles on the line, and all the exciting matches lined up for us tonight, it's hard to ignore the Insanity Cage Match. I mean.. this is a match where truly anything can happen and go wrong, and probably will. This is the match people have been talking about non stop. No one knows what the hell to expect

Joey Aiello: It certainly has a huge amount of hype attached to it. Jay Cee and Xplode have also generated a lot of hype surrounding that match. Both of them with something to prove, both of them out of the ring for quite some time. You have a Money in the Bank carrot dangling in front of them for the EWC World Title. So whoever wins between Storm and Ruby tonight.. be prepared to put that title on the line at ANY moment against Jay Cee or Xplode


Jeremy Piven: Hell, if I was Xplode or Jay Cee.. I would demand that match tonight. I would just insert myself into that match.. catch them both off guard and raise a little hell

Joey Aiello:
That's an interesting thought.. you never know what might happen here at StrangleMania. I wouldn't put it past either one of them do that. Another match getting a lot of attention is Shadow Man and Derek Wellings battling for the Hardcore Championship. Some even billing that match as the true main event of the night


Jeremy Piven: I know Shadow Man very well, and I know for a fact he is going to leave it all on the line tonight. Derek will have to straight up kill Shadow Man to win. My money is on Shadow Man tonight, pulling off the impossible and winning that belt once more. 

Joey Aiello:
Wellings brings a whole lot to the table, no matter what the end result is, I expect a bloody, bloody match between the two. We obviously cannot ignore the Main Event itself.. Damien Kingston and Ruthless Aggression. Both of them have taken the EWC by storm since February 9th on Monday Night Brawl. Ruthless is 4-0 whole Kingston is 5-1. It's hard to picture either of them losing tonight


Jeremy Piven: Kingston is my pick. No question, no doubt. I love Ruthless, but Damien is on a mission and he is not going to leave here tonight without that belt. If Ruthless wins somehow, then I pitty her and the rest of the EWC because Kingston will leave a path of destruction until he gets his hands on that belt

Joey Aiello:
Don't count out Ruthless, she has proven to be one of the best in the EWC and always finds a way to win. This Saint and Martin match should also prove to be quite the match, and probably violent and insane as all hell


Jeremy Piven: Lots of history there. Martin with something to prove, Saint with a legacy to keep intact. It could go either way. 

Joey Aiello:
Wait.. what's happening now?


Appearing on the titantron in the main arena is the simple message of "The End is Near" which attracts the attention of the audience as they turn their heads towards it. The lights in the arena dimmer whilst the volume from the audience also dies down a little, as they concentrate on the message - pondering who it is by. Suddenly, the message vanishes and now appearing on the titantron are three hooded figures, with their heads bowed.

"It's only a matter of time until you all realize - there are no heroes."

A recognizable voice came from one of the three men, who still didn't raise his head as he spoke. It's hard to figure out where the three men are located, as the scene is dark and smoggy - however from what we can tell, it's evident that the three men are located in doors.

"It's only a matter of time until you all realize - that there is no stopping us."

A second man spoke, and like the first he didn't raise his head when speaking. His voice also very recognizable, the audience beginning to acknowledge and realize who the men are as silent boo's began to play through the arena. A laughter came from the third man, who's head, still bowed.

"It's only a matter of time until you all realize - chaos will reign Extreme Wrestling Corporation."

Lights begin to flicker on and off as the three men begin to laugh frantically, their faces now viewable as their hoods were flicked backwards from their frantic laughing. The boo's from the arena begins to pick up, reverberating through the arena whilst the three men begin to stop with their laughing. Despite the lights in the scene now being on, it's still pretty hard to figure out where Project Chaos are located. Behind the three men is a promotional poster of Stranglemania X, showing five superstars which included - Floyd Shooter, Derek Wellings, Madison Mitchell, Shadow Man and Kurt Newman.

STORM: "It all starts tonight right here at Stranglemania X."

Emerging from the three men is Mark Storm who stands on the right side, with Gabreal in the middle and Jay on the left. Storm is now further in front of the others and for the first time since signing to EWC, was actually taking the first step forward from the group and installing their introduction. Storm quickly turns back, looking at the Stranglemania poster as he snarls before turning back to the camera.

STORM: "They've even assembled a squad to try stop us. President Mac recently recruited a team of five to try stop the three of us, because he's beginning to realize that with us running wild around here, his roster are in danger. His roster are in real danger and he needs people to protect his roster. He needs people to make sure that the bad guys are kept by the door. President Mac assembled FIVE.. yes FIVE - to stop the THREE of us because he wants US out. He wants the madness to stop. And you wanna know what the funny thing is? The madness hasn't even begun!"

Storm pauses, allowing himself to chuckle a little whilst the audience continue to boo him.

STORM: "He's made a squad of good guys to protect this federation. A group of heroes that you all know and love. But what Mac doesn't realize is that heroes don't exist. There are no heroes in this world. This isn't Gotham City or Starling City - there isn't a white knight who can protect you all when things get tough. This is the real world. Unicorns don't fucking exists here, let alone heroes. And in the real world, the heroes never prosper. The good guys never win - and ultimately, the heroes are the losers. I mean look at BRAWL for instance.. you had the likes of Kurt Newman, Ash Scion, Floyd Shooter all fail to beat ME! The bad guy. I mean you don't even have to look at the most previous BRAWL to realize that the good guys are ultimately losers. I mean look at Derek Wellings... LOSER! And my dear friend Madison Mitchell, ultimately a LOSER! Chris Maverick and Another Killing whatever the f*ck they were called... LOSERS!"

The sadistic laugh of Storm sends the audience into a frenzy, as they boo and begin to chant "STORM SUCKS" which echoes through the arena. Storm wipes his eyes from laughing so hard before looking back up at the camera.

STORM: "If I suck so bad how comes I find myself in the EWC World Championship match tonight? If I suck so bad how comes I've won four out of five matches I've had thus far? Your points are invalid! It means nothing to me.. it means nothing to these gentlemen right here. Because the truth is, we don't suck. The truth is we're going to take over this federation, bit by bit, week by week, title after title and when this federation belongs to US - there isn't going to be any f*cking heroes to save you."

Jay Rey steps forward in his complete ring gear, he has his wrists taped and looks pumped up and has drops of water running down his face from his wet hair.

JAY: "Tonight is the real beginning for Project: Chaos, tonight we make a statement and an impact like no other in Stranglemania history. If Jay Cee and Xplode think that they are going to be the highlight or the big cheese’s of the night, then I’m afraid your mistaken chaps because tonight I will defeat 36 other competitors to claim my first title in the EWC since 2007. Gabe will retire Michael Saint and of course my man here, Mark Storm is going to win the EWC World Championship. We’ll go down in history after being completely dominant throughout the pay-per-view. I can tell you now, to all you EWC fans out in the arena tonight and watching at home, if you’ve come to see your fan favourites then you’ve come to the wrong place, unless you want to see them bloodied and battered. Oh and one final thing from me and that is to the man who capitalised on my misfortune at the last edition of Brawl, Jacob Quinn. Quinn, believe me when I say this…. You may have gotten lucky then, but tonight I will come down on you like a ton of bricks and whatever weapon is closest to me is going to be wrapped around your freakin’ head! See you out there punk!"

Gabreal Martin steps out of the shadows in ring gear and body paint.

GABE: "I could not have said it better myself gentlemen. You see I could have done anything tonight. I could have joined my friend Jay over here in the International title match, but really what is the point he can win this and why limit what damage we can do. I could have forced my way into the Hardcore Title match beating up Wellings and Shadow Man so badly that they would have no other recourse than give me that belt, but I didn't. You see Tonight Jay and Mark walk out with the gold. An International Champion and a World Champion a pair of future Tag Team Champions. What I get is just icing on the cake as they say. Michael Saint you signed on the dotted line and now it comes to a head. You want a piece of me? You got it and you will regret it. Tonight I put you on the shelf permanently. A career ended. As the hero's fall in a bloody mess three men rise to the top. CHAOS reigns supreme. This is our night EWC and it is the beginning of the era of CHAOS."

NO DQ - FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE

MICHAEL SAINT Vs GABREAL MARTIN

---

The lights go out as the intro to Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold plays.
As the guitar kicks in we get an explosion of pyro and a pale orange spotlight shines on Gabreal Martin as he comes from the curtain to the ring.

Jessica Stroup: Introducing first from Los Angeles California weighing in at one hundred and ninety pounds Gabreal Martin

Gabreal stands in the center of the ring kneeling in almost a bow with arms out hands facing down

*Lights in the arena go out as the crowd starts to stir*

Joe Aiello : These people are going to come unglued!

*House of the Rising Sun by The Animals hits on the PA as Michael Saint starts to make his way to the ring with a white spotlight shinning on him and the crowd going insane!. *


Jessica Stroup: From Los Angeles, California weighing in at one-hundred and seventy-five pounds. He is the EwC Assistant General Manager and The Franchise Michael Saint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Saint enters the ring and walks to the center before taking a knee. Saint puts out his arms looking on at the crowd.*

The bell rings and we are underway with the opener here at Stranglemania X and we see Floyd Shooter and Derek Wellings watching from the ramp! We get a lock up and a go behind by Saint. Saint into a side headlock and a takeover on Gabe. Saint keeps the younger man on the mat with the hold wrenching him a bit. Gabe is able to get to his feet and hit a series of back elbows to the gut of Saint to break the side headlock. Gabe throws Saint off the ropes and he comes back with a shoulder block. Gabe is up and Saint with another shoulder block. Gabe up and when Saint goes for the third shoulder block Gabe moves out of the way and turns around to get a hip toss from Saint. Gabe gets a second hip toss. Gabe gets a third hip toss. Gabe rolls out of the ring in a huff and starts to throw a fit as Olivia Saint consoles him a bit.

Joe Aiello: Gabreal looks sort of unhappy right now.

Jeremy Piven: I really can't blame him. Saint sort of made him look like a fol there at the start of the match. I think he assumed that Saint would be a pushover since he has not had an actual match in so long.

Joe Aiello: Well that is his own fault. Saint stays in shape. We expected a bit of rust, but really he is doing great.

Gabe gets back in the ring and charges Saint who goes for another hip toss, but this time Gabe blocks it and goes for a clothesline, but Saint ducks under. Saint goes for a clothesline of his own, but Gabe ducks under and when Saint turns around he gets a straight right hand from Gabe that puts him on the mat. Gabe covers

1


Kickout!

Joe Aiello: Did he really think he would get a win off that punch?

Jeremy Piven: Hey Gabe has the hands of stone just like good old Ronnie Garvin and Garvin could finish off his opponents with one good punch.

Saint is up and slaps Gabe across the face. Gabe reacts by giving Saint a nice slap. The two men go nose to nose with one another and appear to be screaming at eachother. Saint rears back and nails Gabe with a left hand. Gabe answers with the same. The two men are trading lefts and right, and it looks like Gabe is getting the better of the exchange. Gabe off the ropes and comes back with a running clothesline that floors Saint. Saint gets up and gets another clothesline. Saint up and as Gabe goes for the third clothesline Saint ducks under boots Gabe in the gut and gives him a swinging neck breaker. Saint starts to stomp the body of Gabe. Gabe rolls and gets to his feet. Saint charges, but Gabe moves out of the way at the same time pulling down the ropes causing Saint to fall to the outside of the ring. Gabe hits the ropes and acts like he is going to dive to the outside, but stops when it looks like Saint is going to move out the way. Gabe rolls out of the ring and charges at Saint who gives him a big scoop slam. Gabe does not stay down and this time gets a snap suplex on the outside mats for his trouble. Saint gets back in the ring and hits the ropes. Saint dives through the ropes with a suicide dive onto Gabe as the crowd goes nuts.

Joe Aiello : Saint showing that he can still go out there.

Joe Aiello : Just shows the caliber of person those two men are saving Michael Saint

Jeremy Piven : Well they may have saved Saint, but that is one win for Project CHAOS. Those two gentlemen need stay out of the business of others.

Joe Aiello: This has been an amazing Stranglemania X so far! 

Jeremy Piven: Yes, that No DQ-Falls Count Anywhere Match, was incredible and what a way to start off the night  

Joe Aiello: The match I'm looking forward and possibly one of the most talked about matches for the last two weeks is our next match, The Insanity Cage International Championship Match. 

Jeremy Piven: Yes I can't believe what this company comes up with but that's why I love it, the complete craziness. 

Joe Aiello: Anyway we have Ace Heart backstage with one of the competitors in tonight's match, Nairobi Jordan. 

Ace Heart: Thanks Joe and Jeremy. Yes I'm with The Phoenix Nairobi Jordan, and he's asked for time with me before his match. 

Nairobi: Thanks for granting me this time. I just want wish my other competitors luck, and I'm feeling mighty generous tonight I might maim only half of them. Because I know this isn't the good old days, but I'm going show you how I use to go back in 2008.  

Ace: There's little known about you here Phoenix, but I think you said you were a once a Hall of Famer and champion. Why would you come out of retirement? 

Nairobi: That's easy. I felt like my time hasn't passed me by yet. I left after my first serious injury I knew I had to comeback and prove to myself. Only my fans and followers have been missing something and that's their Resident Daredevil. I'm going to show these EWC fans why I'm everything I say I am.  

Ace Heart: Thank you Phoenix. My next guest is another one of the men that will be competing in the Insanity Cage Match, Brock Whitworth

Brock Whitworth comes into view. He looks poised, focused, and ready.

Ace: Brock, obviously this is a big opportunity for you tonight. Lately though, you've been on a back slide. What makes tonight different?

Brock: Ace, since I've started wrestling I've been a big-match winner. I always elevate my game before a title match. I've tasted gold in the EWC before, and I want it back. I'm always dangerous, and I'm focused more tonight than I think I have ever been in my career.

Ace: What makes you so sure of yourself tonight?

Brock: I've come to realize that this career isn't just bout me anymore. More people count on me to make this work, they count on me to make money and win. I refuse to let people down.

Ace: Any party spoilers? Anybody that could take you by surprise?

Brock: Yeah, two: Mike Corral and Eric Steel. Both tremendous wrestlers and dangerous as all hell. But they don't have the team I do. I'm prepared, and I WILL walk out with that International Title around my waist. Now I have to go get ready.

Brock walks off camera.

Ace: Ladies and Gentlemen, that was a very confident Brock Whitworth. Stick with us, and you'll see how he fares against the competition, coming up next!

A silhouette of a man can be seen as the camera fades into the dark scene. 

MAN: EWC has been infested with savages and cheats. Too many of them in one place.

The voice of the man is deliberately muzzled; so that it is hard for the audience to figure out who the man is. From the mans posture, you can tell that he is well built like an athlete, as he stands tall despite being quite small in height.

MAN: The EWC deserves better than this. The fans deserve better than this. This establishment seems to be going to the dogs and no one is doing anything about it. Something needs to happen. Something needs to change.

The scene suddenly cuts, as the camera now fades into a new scene of a man skipping ropes in the corner of a gymnasium. The man is skipping at a fast pace, his shirt off, whilst his back is against the camera. The camera then switches to another scene, of the same man however now the man is in an octagon ring, training with his back against the camera. 

MAN: I'm going to be the change.

The camera then switches to the first scene, of the man's silhouette.

MAN: I'm coming to Extreme Wrestling Corporation. 

The scene fades to black.

Description: A Triple Tier cage. Everyone starts out in the bottom cage, needing to climb a ladder into the second tier, then leave through a door and climb up onto the outside of the third tier, where the INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BELT needed to win will be waiting.

Each of the Three Cages are three different kinds of hardcore matches.
The 1st cage is a barb wire match.
ONLY TEN can move onto the Second Stage
The 2nd cage is an extreme weapons match featuring barb wire wrapped 2x4's/ baseball bats, kendo sticks, glass bottles, staple guns, sickles, scissors, and steel pipes.
ONLY FOUR can move onto the Third Stage.
The third cage is merely the launching pad for the ending.
Because the only way to win is to throw your opponent off the third cage through the STACKED FLAMING TABLES!!!

---

Joey Aiello: Well whoever that strange guy is, he clearly has very little knowledge of the EWC as the programming here has been at an all-time high when it comes to ratings and we are seeing some of the very best talent to ever walk the halls of the EWC

Jeremy Piven: Most of that talent will be on display right now as 33 EWC Superstars about all going to be in the same cage at the same time.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentleman, this next match is for the EWC International Championship. This match is known as the Insanity Cage Match. There are three layers of cages stacked here tonight. The First Cage will house all 33 EWC Superstars competing tonight. Then, only 10 of those Wrestlers will move into the next Cage, where barb wire wrapped 2x4's/ baseball bats, kendo sticks, glass bottles, staple guns, sickles, scissors, and steel pipes will be available for use. Finally only Four will be able to move into the Third and Final cage. Once all Four are in that top Cage, the ring will be cleared out and Several Flaming Tables will be placed in the middle of the ring. The only way to win and become the International Champion, is for one of the Four to throw one of the other Three down and through the Flaming Tables.

Joey Aiello: I’m still trying to wrap my head around this insane match we are about to see

Jeremy Piven: Jessica is really earning that pay-check tonight. I think that’s the largest amount of words she has ever spoken here in the EWC

Joey Aiello: While all thirty-three are making their way down the ring, do you have any predictions for who will win this Wrestling match?

Jeremy Piven: First of all, lets not call this a ‘Wrestling’ Match. This match is the furthest thing from a ‘Wrestling’ match. What we have here, are 33 Men and Women with a shit-load of weapons with two goals in mind, one is to kill and the other is to survive. I will be shocked if we even get to see an actual wrestling move in this match

Joey Aiello: Fair enough, we have about 26 in the ring right now. So how about it, who survives this match and wins the International Championship?

Jeremy Piven: The guy the scares me the most in this match is Cory Chevelle. We have seen what he can do to an opponent, and I think this match is built for him to survive, but is he quick enough to make it through each of the cages? I don’t know. Other then that, you have to think guys like Whitworth, Newman, Devereaux, Quinn and Creed are going to be incredibly dangerous with a whole lot to prove to the EWC. You also have some wildcards in here like Sandwich Man and Tony Savage who could make some noise and surprise a lot of people.

Joey Aiello: Well one thing is for sure, we wont see any pin falls or attempts for any in this match. With all thirty-three in the ring right now and the cage locked, this match is about ready to begin

DING! DING! DING!

Jeremy Piven: There goes the bell.. I’d hate to be the first person thrown into that barbed wire

Eric Steel, Jacob Quinn, Shelley Silver, Kurt Newman, Chris Maverick, John Jones, Brock Whitworth, Mike Corral, Chris Mosh, Nathan Creed, Reese Spencer, Jay Reynolds, Johnny Raike, Prince Assad, Troy Devereaux, Cory Chevelle, Tony Savage, The Dream, Michael Carter, Drake Sage, Smith Jones, Jack Owyns, Sam Attic, Scorpio, Luke Wolfe, Issac St. Crow, Nairobi Jordan, Matthew Choquette, Sandwich Man, Freddie Styles, Erin Spencer, Bryce Bridges and Chance Fusion are now all in the ring. The cage locks behind them and with the bell sounded, everyone is just kind of staring at each other looking to see who will make the first move. Suddenly Cory Chevelle charges at Jack Owyns and sends him flying into the barbed wire ropes. Cory then head-butts Drake Sage and throws him out of the ring.

Joey Aiello: Cory looks like he is on a mission right now

Jeremy Piven: No one else knows what the hell to do, Cory is in there cleaning house

Bryce Bridges and Tony Savage are locked up in one corner, while Chance Fusion and Nathan Creed are exchanging blows. Sandwich Man and Brock Whitworth are found each other and are trading lefts and rights while Troy Devereaux and Jacob Quinn are going at it. In the middle of the ring, Cory Chevelle is battling Eric Steel and John Jones at the same time. Chris Mosh is beating down on Mike Corral. Resse Spencer is getting attacked by Shelly Silver while Jay Reynolds and Johnny Raike are going toe to toe. Outside the ring Michael Carter is battling with The Dream, Smith Jones and Sam Attic are trading blows, Scorpio and Luke Wolfe are tied up, Nairobi is beating down on Issac St Crow, Matthew Choquette and Freddie Styles are battling each other while Erin Spencer is taking on Prince Assad.

Joey Aiello: Its near impossible to keep tabs on what everyone is doing right now. They are all involved in some crazy matchups right now

Jeremy Piven: Not all of them

An untouched Kurt Newman makes his way over to the cage wall and begins climbing

Joey Aiello: Look at Kurt, he’s already climbing the cage

Jeremy Piven: He knows the game, he knows what to do, and he’s a smart man

The fans are going insane as Kurt Newman makes his way into the second cage and sits down watching everything unfold under him

Jessica Stroup: The first person to make his way into the second cage, is Kurt Newman

Everyone in the cage look shocked as only 9 spots remain to make it into the Second Cage. Cory slides out of the ring and jumps onto the cage and starts climbing. Close behind him is Jacob Quinn who grabs a baseball bat from a garbage can inside the cage and starts beating on Cory until he falls off the cage landing awkwardly on the floor

Joey Aiello: Ouch! Cory landed hard on the ground and it looks like Quinn isn’t finished with that bat either

Jeremy Piven: I told you Joe, Cory is the guy to beat in this match and if you can injure him early or somehow stop him from entering the second cage, then it’s really an open opportunity for everyone

Luke Wolfe and Scorpio are exchanging blows while Bryce Bridges, Tony Savage and Michael Carter are all climbing up the cage. Nathan Creed manages to grab onto Carters leg and pulls him down off of the cage. Out of nowhere Sam Attic comes in with a toaster and cracks Nathan Creed in the face, knocking him out almost instantly

Joey Aiello: Well that wouldn’t be the first time someone was knocked out thanks to a toaster

Jeremy Piven: Creed got laid out flat by Sam Attic

Bryce and Savage are trading blows while climbing the cage, both of them trying to knock the other one down instead of trying to gain separation and make it to the next cage. The Dream gets onto the cage but he is quickly grabbed by Troy Deveraux who slams him hard to the ground with a german-suplex. Sandwich man is laying a beating on Mike Corral while Shelly Silver disposes of Reese Spencer and Erin Spencer with a steel chair sending them both flying into the barbedwire ropes.

Joey Aiello: Shelly is cleaning house

Quinn is now climbing the cage and is about halfway up. Meanwhile Luke Wolfe and Scorpio are still going at it. Both of them trading blows and doing what they can to steal this match away from everyone else. Brock makes his way over to Jordan who had started to climb the cage and uses his weight to slam into him causing Jordan to fall. Brock jumps onto Jordan and starts laying punch after punch on Jordan

Jeremy Piven: Quinn has made it into the second cage

Jessica Stroup: The second Wrestler to make it into the second cage is Jacob Quinn

Kurt waves at Jacob as Quinn joins him on the second cage and waits for the other eight to join them
Joey Aiello: Jacob Quinn and Kurt Newman are inches closer to winning the International Championship
Freddie Styles is almost at the top of the cage now, which catches the eye of Troy Deveraux. Troy runs over to the garbage can of weapons and starts digging through it. He smiles as he pulls out an axe

Jeremy Piven: A fucking AXE?

Joey Aiello: An axe! Both an Axe and a Toaster making their way back into the EWC

Troy winds up and throws the Axe up at Freddie and nails him in the back of the head with the back of the axe. Freddie immediately drops all the way to the ground and is not moving

Jeremy Piven: HOLY SHIT!

Joey Aiello: That could have been so much worse, but I’m not so sure Freddie survives the hit and the fall. Wow. That was insane. Troy the Axe Man Deveraux

Troy now starts to climb the cage also. Jay Reynolds meanwhile is laying a massive beating on Drake Sage and Jack Owyns at the same time.

Jeremy Piven: Jay Reynolds looks like he is trying to send a message that he is back and is hungry; he is really laying a beating on Drake and Jack

Jessica Stroup: The third and fourth entrants to the second cage are Bryce Bridges and Tony Savage

Joey Aiello: We are down to only six being able to make it into the second cage, and Twenty Seven all with an equal chance to get their

Jessica Stroup: The Fifth entrant into the second cage is Troy Deveraux

Jeremy Piven: Well that was quick; Troy makes it five with five spots left

Back in the ring, Chris Maverick, John Jones, Brock Whitworth, and Chris Mosh are all tied up near the Barbedwire ropes, Cory Chevelle sees this and charges towards all four of them and leaps in the air with this arms spread wide

SNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

Joey Aiello: Cory Chevelle just broke the ring

Maverick, John, Brock, Mosh and Chevelle all come tumbling to the ground as the barbedwire ropes snapped and is spilt onto the ground. One of the turnbuckles is cracked in half and bent over

Jeremy Piven: Cory Chevelle is a beast. I hope he wins this whole thing

Eric Steel is now starting to climb the cage, but he is quickly hit from behind with a crowbar. He drops down to the ground grabbing shoulder and when he looks up to see who attacked him he is shocked to see it is Shelley Silver!

Joey Aiello: Shelley Silver has just attacked her fiancée

Eric mouths ‘Why?’ to Shelley who drops the crowbar and looks up at the second cage. Eric reaches out to her foot, Shelley reaches down and helps him up. The two are talking and both start climbing the cage at the same time. As they get about half way, Shelley leaps onto Eric Steel

Jeremy Piven: What in the hell is Shelley doing?

Shelley is now straddling Eric in the air and on the cage, she yells out ‘Im Sorry’ and then super hurricaranas Eric Steel onto a platform of barbwire

Joey Aiello: OH MY GOD!

Jeremy Piven: That is your StrangleMania moment right there! Oh my God is right! I have never seen that happen on a cage before in my life. I can’t even explain how the hell she did it, but wow.

Cory Chevelle is now almost at the top of the cage, but on either side of him is Chance Fusion and Nathan Creed. Both Chance and Creed are kicking at Cory but he doesn’t seem effected by it. Cory now has his arms inside the second cage and attempts to life himself up but Nathan Creed leaps in the air and grabs hold of Cory causing both of them to come flying down to the ground. Nathan lands on top of Cory. Chance looks down at the mess and continues to climb

Jessica Stroup: The sixth entrant in the second cage is Chance Fusion

Joey Aiello: Cory looks badly hurt, while Chance takes full advantage of Nathan taking out both Cory and himself

Shelley Silver is back on her feet and begins to climb the cage, Sandwich Man on the other corner also begins to climb the cage. Jay Reynolds with a baseball bat in hand knocks out Mike Corral, Prince Assad, Smith Jones and then turns his attention to Chris Mosh. Mosh is pleading with Jay not to hit him and drops to his knees begging him not to hit him in the face. Jay laughs and starts to walk away, before stopping and cracking Chris Mosh across the face with the bat causing a splatter of blood to come flying out of Chris’ mouth

Jeremy Piven: Jay Reynolds has taken out half of the guys remaining right now

Sam Attic, Scorpio and Luke Wolfe turn their attention to Jay Reynolds as he makes his way over to an already hurt Smith Jones. As Jay winds up to knock out Jones, Luke grabs hold of the bat and rips it out of Jays hands. Jay turns around and he is immediately grabbed by Sam and Scorpio who hold him in place. Luke cracks the bat across Jays ribs and Jay drops down unable to breathe. The three men continue to beat down on Jay Reynolds

Joey Aiello: I hate to say Jay go down like this, but he got what he deserved. The minute he joined that Chaos team, he has made more enemies then friends

Jeremy Piven: Karma is a bitch known as a Baseball Bat tonight

Jessica Stroup: The Seventh and Eight entrants into the second cage are: Sandwich Man and Shelley Silver

Joey Aiello: Well there you go, only two spots left.

Choquette and Jordan are both attempting to climb the cage, as is Whitworth and Creed. Luke Wolfe goes to climb the cage but he is quickly pulled down by Sam Attic and Scorpio who seem to either be fighting each other or helping each other. Cory Chevelle and Eric Steel have both tried to climb the cage but both of them appear too injured to lift their own weight

Jeremy Piven: It’s a huge mess of bodies in this cage right now. Everyone is either hurt or badly hurt.

Jessica Stroup: The Ninth entrant into the Second Cage is Nathan Creed

Joey Aiello: We only have one spot left and only three guys on the cage right now climbing, but they are tied up with each other

Brock, Jordan and Choquette are all exchanging blows against each other as the three are in the far corner unable to climb any higher. Meanwhile Sam Attic and Scorpio are starting to climb but Luke picks the bat back up and attacks both of them, causing them both to drop to the ground. Eric Steel and Cory Chevelle make their way over to Attic, Scorpio and Wolfe and begin to engage in an all out battle

Jeremy Piven: If you can’t make it up yourself, you might as well take everyone down with you

Maverick, Jones, Raike, Carter, Jones and Styles are now all starting to climb the cage. Whitworth is able to break free of Jordan and sends him flying to the ground. Brock and Choquette are both passed the half way point of the cage now with Maverick, John Jones, Raike, Carter, Smith Jones and Styles not far behind.

Joey Aiello: I don’t know what is more interesting to me right now, this brutal battle happening on the floor, or this race to reach the second cage

Jeremy Piven: It’s all Gold baby… solid Gold!

Brock Whitworth manages to get to the second cage and is trying to pull himself up but Choquette is pulling on his legs. Brock is trying to shake him off when suddenly Maverick leaps off the cage wall and grabs hold of Choquette. Maverick is trying to climb up Choquette while Brock is fighting to hang on

Joey Aiello: Maverick and Choquette are going to end up ripping Brock in half.. just let go Brock.. let go!

Jeremy Piven: Let it go, Let it go ...

With no other way around it, John Jones also leaps in the air and grabs hold of Choquettes feet

Jeremy Piven: What the fuck is this, barrel of monkeys?

Joey Aiello: I’ve never seen anything like this

Brock is barely hanging on now, he is screaming in pain as this tremendous weight is dragging him down. Carter and Raike both nod at each other and both leap into the air grabbing hold of John Jones which causes Choquettes to let go of Brock and the five of them to come flying down to the ring. Kurt Newman and Troy Deveraux both walk over to Brock and pull him up to the Cage

Jessica Stroup: The final entrant into the Second cage is Brock Whitworth

DING! DING! DING!

Jeremy Piven: That’s our final ten right now, which means the second cage match can start while the refs clear out the bottom cage and setup some flaming tables for our delight

Kurt Newman immediately grabs two baseball bats wrapped in barbedwire. Kurt throws one of the bats at Chance Fusion and hits him in the back of the head with it. With the other bat Kurt starts beating on Nathan Creed. Jacob Quinn is beating down on Brock Whitworth who is clearly out of energy. Bryce and Tony Savage are locked up in the corner, which leaves Shelley and Sandwhich man duelling with Kendo Sticks as if they were swords

Joey Aiello: The bottom of the ring might have been cleared out but this brawl is continuing up the ramp

Jeremy Piven: Chevelle, Renolds, Jones, Maverick, Steel, Wolfe, Scorpio, Attic, Mosh, Jordan and Styles are all going ape shit on each other on this ramp. Chairs are flying, teeth are flying, I’m pretty sure someone has shit there pants.. this has turned into some kind of war right now on this ramp

Newman seems to have hoarded all of the glass bottles and starts throwing them at Bryce, Savage, Fusion, Creed, Sandwich Man, Shelley, Brock, Troy and Jacob. Most of them making contact, the rest just shattering against the cage. Savage turns his attention to Newman who has gone to find another weapon and attacks him from behind with a steel pipe. Newman hits the cage hard but grabs a bat and uses it to block the pipe. The bat snaps in half with one of the blows by Savage but Newman kicks Savage in the groin and quickly gets to his feet and starts climbing the shorter cage

Joey Aiello: You have to give it up for Newman, he knows how to save as much strength as possible by going for the climb at every opportunity

Jacob Quinn grabs a Kendo stick and jabs Brock in the stomach with it and then hits him with a DDT on the cage. He immediately starts to climb the cage right after. Troy has the upper hand on Shelley now and starts to climb the cage also

Jessica Stroup: The first entrant into the final Cage, is Kurt Newman

Jeremy Piven: Newman is in, unlike the second cage, as soon as someone else joins him, they start the battle immediately

Joey Aiello: Meanwhile, security has finally cleared up the battle here on the ramp, but I'm hearing in my headset that the battle rages on backstage

Tony Savage brabs hold of the bat covered in barbedwire and hits Bryce from behind, he then does the same to Chance and then drops the bat and starts to climb the cage

Jessica Stroup: The second entrant into the final cage is Jacob Quinn

The second Quinn gets to the top cage, Kurt begins to attack him. Sandwich Man and Brock Whitworth begin climbing the cage now but Troy starts throwing weapons at them. Kendo Stick, Baseball bat, steel pipe and then finally he grabs the garbage can and starts beating Sandwich Man and Brock with it until both men drop down. The second they do, Troy hops onto the cage and starts climbing

Joey Aiello: Tony and Shelley are almost onto the final cage, Troy better..

Suddenly Shelley comes flying down as Tony kicked her in the face

Jessica Stroup: The third entrant into the final cage is Tony Savage

Tony gets to the top cage and immediately clotheslines Newman and Quinn

Jessica Stroup: The Fourth and final entrant into the final cage is Troy Deveraux

Jeremy Piven: There you have it; one of these four men will win the International Championship

Joey Aiello: All one of them has to do is throw someone off the cage, forcing them through the flaming tables.. and that International title is theirs!

Troy and Kurt are exchanging blows as Tony and Quinn are locked up. Kurt kicks Troy in the groin and then nails the Gemini Driver on him

Jeremy Piven: OH MY! That HAD to hurt.. right on the cage!

Not to be outdone, after exchanging blows, Tony winds up and nails Quinn in the chest with the Cardiac Arrest. Quinn drops down to his knees clutching his chest.

Joey Aiello: That is one wicked punch. I felt it.. Honestly.. I felt it

Tony immediately charges towards Kurt but with a toothy grin Kurt picks up a bat

Jeremy Piven: How the hell did he get a bat up there?

Kurt catches Tony square in the jaw with the bat, and Tony flips backward in the air landing hard on the cage.

Joey Aiello: HOLY SHIT!

Kurt walks over and pokes Troy with the bat, Troy rolls over to his back looking up at Kurt. Quinn is back to his feet, but when he turns around he is met with the baseball bat to the face by Kurt. Before Quinn falls over Kurt grabs him and walks over to the opening in the cage floor. Troy is now on his knees, as is Tony. Tony grabbing his mouth and pulls out a tooth

Jeremy Piven: That’s disgusting

Kurt manages to turn Quinn upside down and….

Joey Aiello: Here it comes

OMFG!!!!

Jeremy Piven: (covering his face) Kurt just.. I’m going to throw up

Joey Aiello: Kurt just sent Quinn flying down in a brain buster, through the flaming tables

DING DING DING

The bell sounds as Kurt Newman grabs hold of the International Championship belt which was hanging just above the cage

Jessica Stroup: Winner and your new EWC International Champion, KURT …. NEEEEEEWWWWWMAN!

Kurt Newman kisses the belt as Voodoo Child by Stevie Ray Vaughn begins to play throughout the arena. The fans are cheering and chanting Newmans name. Newman is dancing around on the cage laughing

Jeremy Piven: A well-deserved moment for..

Newman is shoved into Troy Deveraux by Tony Savage who is clearly upset. Both Troy and Tony are yelling at Newman both clearly upset

Joey Aiello: I don’t think they are happy about the bat making it’s way up to the third cage

Jeremy Piven: It’s a hardcore style match, anything goes. Weapons, no dq, it’s all good. Newman played the system, and he won. He knew what he was doing and did nothing wrong.

Newman is not having it, he starts pleading his case. Troy goes to grab the belt away, and Newman hits Troy in the face with the belt. When he turns back to face Savage, Savage nails him with Dead To Rights. Troy manages to grab the belt away from Newman and cracks Savage in the head causing Savage to go flying down through the to the tables and landing ontop of the medics who were attending to Quinn

Joey Aiello: Oh my goodness. This is terrible. Troy has snapped.

Troy then lifts Kurt high enough and lands Nightmare on Troy Street, which causes the bottom of the cage to give out and both men including the belt to go flying down to the ring landing ontop of Tony, Quinn, the EMT’s and the Flaming Tables.

Jeremy Piven: This is unbelievable. There is so much wreckage down there right now. Quinn is at the bottom of if it all after landing head first through those flaming tables.

Joey Aiello: I cannot believe what I saw here tonight. This is just a brutal brutal mess and Troy is going to face some major consequences for his actions

Jeremy Piven: Newman is the champ, but his career might be over

Joey Aiello: Folks, we need to get this cleaned up.. we will be right back

BACKSTAGE

---

In the distance, the fans in the arena can be heard as we see the stadium parking lot. A large limousine pulls up and stops in front of the viewer, its headlights remaining on as the driver steps into view. Walking to the back of the vehicle, the driver opens the door, allowing the EWC General Manager Xplode, to step out of the vehicle. Behind him, his manager Terry Jones, is also seen as the duo walk towards the arena entrance. Both of them are dressed in sharp looking suits. Waiting at the door is Ruthann Parks. To her side is her son, Hunter. Xplode sees and nods in respect before speaking to his manager.

Xplode: Go ahead and meet me inside, Terry. Ruthann obviously needs to speak to me.

Terry Jones: You got it, kid.

Xplode glances at Ruthann as Terry heads into the arena. He then smirks.

Xplode: I figured that the parkinglot would be the last place that I would see you these days...

The camera turns as we see Ruthann Parks. Her hair was in curls coming down around her face. She was wearing an EWC shirt on with blue jeans and standing behind her was Hunter, Jun Yao and Sara Yao. All three can be seen wearing HTH’s shirt that have a cartoon character of each of them in front of them. Ruthann's entourage stares over at X with serious looks upon their faces as Ruthann smirks. Ruthann then looks over at Hunter as her son steps between his mother and father, staring into Xplode's eyes defiantly. There is an obvious tension in the air as Xplode returns the stare in return.

Xplode: Think about what you are doing, kid. Not every choice in life has a do over..

Hunter looks right at him with a bit of a smirk as if he was about to say something. Ruthann places her hand on his shoulder and breaks up the stare down before it escalates.

Ruthann Parks: Hunter, you and Jun go inside. I will be ok.

Hunter looks at his mother and then once more in the direction of the General Manager, before agreeing to step away. Once alone, Ruthann then smiles at Xplode and slowly approaches him. She then reaches back and slaps him across the face!! Xplode smiles and then suddenly steps right up to her, a look of destruction upon him! Ruthann sees this and laughs softly..

Ruthann Parks: Now that is the man that I know, the one who stands down to no one. Your Father would be proud of the man that you have become. It's good to see you truly back.

Ruthann reaches up and place her hands on the side of his face as she made him look right at her.

Ruthan Parks: I want to thank you, Jaden. It's taken me awhile to realize what you were doing but I see now that you have been taking care of me. Its because of your support, for good or bad, that I am gaining a shot at the World title tonight. You have motivated me, and kept the course regardless of what I have said to you. I was wrong. I always knew that the Jaden that I knew.. that I loved.. was there all along.

Xplode steps back and tries to break free, but Ruthann holds on to his face tightly.

Ruthann Parks: You don’t want anyone to know about this side of you and that secret is safe with me. I still mean what I said to you a few weeks ago though. I can do this on my own. When it comes to us, I will always be right at your side in whatever manner that you ask me to. I will help you my way to make sure you do some great things for this company. When it comes to my career though, I need you to believe in me and trust me to walk this path alone. Can you do that?

Xplode looks at Ruthann for a time and remains silent. As he slowly moves her hands from his face, he replies with a soft voice.

Xplode: It's funny how you say one thing.. and do another. I heard that you accused me of having you run over in the parking lot. That doesn't' sound like a person who would stand by my side. The comical side to all of this is that I truly had nothing to do with that. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even involved in your trainer getting attacked last month either. You had it all wrong from the start. I let you go on believing that though because let's face it.. it's always been funny to watch you play detective.

Ruthann Parks: Okay... then who should I blame then? Who else would wish to hurt me and my family?

Xplode laughs for a moment.

Xplode: I am surprised, Ruthy. I figured by now that you would have figured it out too. Who else would be so jealous by your success? Does Shelley Silver ring a bell?

Ruthann Parks: That bitch.... How did I not see it?

Xplode: That's what happens when you have it in your mind that I am the fault for all of the sins in your life. I told you long ago, the only things that matters to me is my legacy and this company. For that, I will fight tooth and nail. I would never hurt.. my friends though.

Ruthann looks at him for a time, the rage within her slowly fading away as she listens to him.

Ruthann Parks: I understand. You know, I don't think that you are evil, Jaden. I know your past. The EWC has haunted you for some time now, and it has changed you. I remember you telling me that your Father would put you down and pay little attention to you when you were young, putting the industry before his own son. I know that hurt you. I know that you need the EWC title has been a source of pain for you. It's time for you to put aside the past with your Father and prove once and for all that you are better than him! that title is yours, and your match tonight against JayCee will show that. I was wrong about many things I guess over the last few weeks.. but I am not wrong about this.

Ruthann place her hand on the side of his face.

Ruthann Parks: You are the fucking Destroyer of worlds. No one can do what you do in that ring, and no man has ever been greater. Bring that Era of X alive! I am ready for it. I was wrong, and I admit it. I will stand by your side and help you fight whatever war that you see fit to start. Let's do this together. You and I were always a damn good team.

Xplode smiles.

Xplode: You got that right..

Ruthann Parks: Then let the damn blood.. flow.

Ruthann Parks spins around and heads for the arena entrance. Xplode laughs for a time and shakes his head, and then calls out to her before she is out of ear shot.

Xplode: Hey, Ruthy? Tonight, you walk your path on your own. Kick some ass out there and make us proud.

Ruthann nods.. and the scene fades out.

ELECTRIFIED BARBED-WIRE MATCH

JAY CEE Vs XPLODE
WINNER GETS A MONEY IN THE BANK SHOT AT EWC WORLD TITLE
SPECIAL GUEST REF: PRESIDENT MAC

Description: The ring ropes are replaced with reinforced barbed-wire that won't break and only bends slightly. In between the barb wire ropes on each side of the ring there are power lines juiced with 15,000 volts of electricity. Wires connect the power lines to the barb wire so each time the barb wire ropes or power lines are touched a mini explosion will take place electrifying whatever touches it.
The only way to win the match is by pinfall or by not answering the standing 10 count.

---

The fans cheer loudly as the camera feed is panned about, showcasing each and everyone one of their responses. The feed then switches to a shot of the ring, as we see EWC personnel attaching a chain link fence around the outside of the ropes. Extension cords and power boxes are carried down the rampway and towards the ring, and placed beside each turnbuckle. As the crews continue to alter the wrestling ring, we hear the announcers:

Joey Aiello: Oh wow, this next match is going to be one that will be talked about for decades! Two men from EWC's past will return to the ring and attempt to end a long spoken about controversy, and they will do it while surrounded by barbed wire and electrified fencing! JayCee, a man who has made quite a legacy for himself in this company, will square off against a man who is probably the most talked about name in the industry currently.. Xplode.

Jeremy Piven: Well, this match had to happen. We both know that. These two men were the talk of the EWC two years ago, and it was inevitable that they would square off for the top prize in the company, that being the EWC Title. At Rumble in the Bronx, we were able to see an advanced glimpse into what would take place when these two men met in the ring, when we saw Xplode absolutely manhandle JayCee. Thanks to outside interference, however.. the two would have to share the distinction of Rumble Winners on that night. That won't happen tonight.

Joey Aiello: No it won't. From where we are standing, you can hear the electricity already being turned on as generators are brought online. It's also important to note that barbed wire has been wrapped around each rope as well. So, that being said, it's safe to say that this match will have a winner.. one way or the other.. with no interference. Who do you feel has the edge tonight, in this hellish type of match?

Jeremy Piven: Well, in ring ability wise, I would have to hand it to JayCee. His large repertoire of wrestling experience could play a huge part in this match should he get started early. The thing is though, my money is going to be on the Destroyer of Worlds.. Xplode. The reason being is that once that bell is rung, I highly doubt that any conventional means of waging war will matter. With the barbed wire and electricity active, it will take a man who can stay the course and adapt to the situation to walk out as a winner. In the past, Xplode has shown himself to be just that type of warrior. Plus, this plays to Xplode's style. He has been an advocate for hardcore stipulations this year after all.

Joey Aiello: Agreed. While I would have to lean towards JayCee myself, you make fine points. Tonight, we are going to see two men let it all out, in one of the most dangerous scenarios that pro wrestling has to offer. The EWC would like to ask that all parents please remove their children from the television for this match. The EWC would also like to say that these two men have accepted the risks that go along with tonight's affair. They are also trained professionals. Please do not try this at home.

Jeremy Piven: ... Yeah. Don't be an idiot and get yourself killed.

Joey Aiello: I could not have said it better myself. Now, we head out to the action. The ring has been prepped, and the safety team has come out and looked it all over. EMT's are on stand by and will be at ringside for this match. Ladies and Gentlemen.. let's do this.

The fans begin to stand up and cheer loudly as the feed switches to the entrance area. The lights dim down and fireworks emit.

Jessica Stroup: The following match is scheduled for one fall. It will be an electrified - barb wired match up. Coming to the ring first, the special referee of the evening. Please welcome.. President Mac!

The fans cheer as Mac appears on the stage. Dressed in a striped shirt and slacks, he walks down the rampway and waves at the fans casually. Stopping once to look at the metal fencing, he walks up the metal steps and heads through the opening into the ring. He then nods and shakes Jessica Stroups hand before finding his place in the ring.

Jessica Stroup: And now.. the combatants. Coming to the ring next, and hailing from Devon, England. Please welcome.. JAYCEE!!!

"Bangarang" by Skrillex begins to play and there is a small wait as the song goes through its light intro before Jay walks out to the top of the ramp with pyrotechnics blasting on either side. Jay stops to check out the crowd and puts his hands on his hips and grins. As the song gets on Jay raises his arms up and starts to walk down the ramp. The first few steps pyros once again go off either side as he walks down. Jay turns with his arms spread out to the side in a "check me out" style, still smiling. Jay takes his time to get to the bottom. He then walks around the ring, still taking his time. Halfway around the ring he stops, he looks up at the ring and jumps onto the apron. He walks alongside the outside and stands on the second turnbuckle and puts his arms out shouting at the crowd that he is here. Jay then jumps over the ropes landing in the ring. He goes over to the opposite turnbuckle climbing to the second turnbuckle and repeating his pose from the other turnbuckle. After absorbing the atmosphere Jay gets down.

Jessica Stroup: Next... his opponent. Hailing from San Francisco, California... please welcome, XPLODE!!!

The lights dim down and the fans stand up and cheer! "The Enemy" by Godsmack begins to play loudly, it's ominous intro vibrating across the arena. The fan response is now deafening as flames emit from the stage area, pulsing in unison. Stepping out unto the stage now is Xplode. He looks forward, his face full of determination. Stopping to look out at the fans, he nods his head in respect before shouting something at JayCee in the distance! He then heads towards the ring as the flames stop pulsing, only to be followed by a loud explosion instead! The fans reach out and slap Xplode on his shoulders and back as he walks towards the ring!

With his music in full chorus now, Xplode heads up the metal steps without hesitating, and he enters the ring. Behind him, the metal fence is shut and locked tightly as the crews begin to plug in the electric system. Xplode glances at them, and then back at JayCee, a large smile upon his face. He then walks up to President Mac who stands his ground in return. Both men stare at one another for a time and say nothing, until Xplode slowly backs away, warning Mac to call the match straight. Mac shouts something back at Xplode and the lights finally return to normal. Xplode's theme music fades out now.

A loud snap echos around the arena as the fence is switched to active. Electricity crackles and sparks on the fence. JayCee looks at the fence and then at Mac, a look of concern on his face. That concern is then switched to a smirk as confidence takes over him. Mac goes over the rules with both men before ordering that the match be started. The bell is then rung repeatedly.

The fans scream in delight...

Both JayCee and Xplode slowly approach one another now, their eyes never leaving one another for a second. They keep walking towards one another until they are almost nose to nose. Around them, the arena is alive as the excitement reaches a fever pitch!

Joey Aiello: This is it.. the match most have been waiting to see! Two of the top names of all time are getting ready to square off here. Old generation vs new... EWC in the very sense of the word. JayCee looks focused tonight. He clearly has been preparing for this match.

Jeremy Piven: Let's not forget to mention that Xplode looks completely ripped out there! There was rumors leading into this week that Xplode had been on a training regimen that would put most young guys to shame. It shows.

Both men remain at center ring, until Xplode shakes his head with a smile. He then hauls off and hits JayCee, sending him to the mat instantly in a sheer display of power!!!

Joey Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!!

Xplode tries to press the attack but is swept off of his feet by JayCee! JayCee quickly attempts a submission hold but is elbowed away, and both men rush to their feet. Xplode grabs JayCee and Irish Whips him to the ropes, but JayCee plants his feet and stops his momentum just inches shy of the electricity! He then twists around and sends his elbow into the face of the oncoming Xplode, only to hook the arm and perform a side slam! Xplode hits the mat hard but is quickly on his feet once more. JayCee snatches him and lifts him into the air once more, this time spinning and nailing a stalling suplex! Xplode does not get up quickly this time.

Keeping up the attack, JayCee repeatedly stomps Xplode. He then grabs an arm and applies a submission hold on Xplode, his teeth gritting with determination. The fans scream with delight as President Mac checks on Xplode. Xplode spits at him, only to have his arm wrenched even tighter by JayCee. Refusing to give up, Xplode shakes his head as he tries to power out of the submission. JayCee launches into the air and comes down with a knee into the arm of Xplode, driving him back into the mat. A look of pain spreads across Xplode's face as he begins to succumb to the pressure.

Jeremy Piven: JayCee has come out of the gate and established himself in a big way! He is playing to his strengths and staying away from the fencing around the ring. Classic JayCee right there.. Excellent ring knowledge. I am impressed.

Xplode is now slumped over as JayCee holds on to his arm. Mac checks on Xplode once more and receives no response. He lifts his arm.. and then it drops.

Mac lifts it once more... and it drops again.

The fans begin to cheer as he lifts it for a third and possible final time...

Xplode stops the arm in mid air and then flips off President Mac! The fans cheer as Mac backs away, a smile upon his face. JayCee holds on to Xplode's arm and leans in, but Xplode slowly powers back to his feet despite the pain on his face. He then slams the back of head into the face of JayCee! JayCee releases him instantly and Xplode spins around! The fans scream in delight!

Until JayCee drop kicks Xplode... into the electrified fencing!!

Xplode shakes uncontrollably for a time and then crashes into the mat, a large gash apparent across the side of his ribs! He does not move, save for the random twitches from the electricity.

Joey Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!! JAYCEE JUST FRIED XPLODE!!! XPLODE IS HURT AND HE IS DOWN!! THIS COULD BE OVER!!!

JayCee wastes no time as he covers Xplode for the pin. Xplode does not fight the attempt at all, his body remaining limp. Mac sees this and looks very concerned for Xplode, and then he begins the pin count..

Xplode somehow.. kicks out! 

Joey Aiello: How in the hell.....

Jeremy Piven: Amazing...

JayCee sits up, frustration on his face. He punches Xplode who is still barely moving before standing back up. Mac warns JayCee to becareful of Xplode's health at the moment but JayCee shoves him away, only to shove a finger in his face after. Mac yells at JayCee in response, refusing to lose control of the match. JayCee laughs at Mac and then helps JayCee's weak frame back up to his feet. He then walks towards the barbed wire and hooks the arm for a suplex.

Somehow.. Xplode manages to slip free though! He then drives and elbow into the face of JayCee! A kick in the gut follows next. Finally, Xplode backs up and spears JayCee into the metal fencing!!! Both men slam into the barbed wire as electricity snaps loudly! The fans begin to chant "HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!" as both men fall to the mat, Xplode breathing heavily as his shoulder and back are painted in his own blood. Across from him, JayCee is now shivering from the jolts, and a large gash is seen on the back of his head, blood finding it's way down to his neck area!

Joey Aiello: Somebody stop this! This can't be allowed to continue!!

JayCee rolls over on to his side and looks in the direction of Xplode. He then falls forward, his arm draped over Xplode for the pin count..

THR- Xplode kicks out again!!! 

The fans cheer loud enough to shatter glass as the arena literally comes alive! JayCee can hardly believe what he is experiencing as he looks around the arena, a look of pure exhaustion on his face. The mat is now stained in blood as JayCee tries to rise to his feet. Holding his side closely, Xplode also does the same, albeit slower. Behind him and now standing, JayCee grabs Xplode and tries to yank him closer. Xplode counters quickly by grabbing JayCee's wrist with one hand. He then grabs the barbed wire fence with the other, sending an electric current through him and into JayCee's body! JayCee shakes uncontrollably as Xplode releases him, his hand ripped wide open now from the barbed wire!

Joey Aiello: DID YOU SEE THAT?! Xplode just sacrificed himself to put JayCee down! Imagine the pain that he must be in!!

Jeremy Piven: Both men are really risking everything tonight. The entire arena is in awe!

Xplode slowly approaches JayCee, his arm held tightly to his ribs. He stumbles a bit as he arrives behind JayCee. JayCee struggles to stand up, his back completely stained with blood. Xplode grabs him and headbutts him in the open wound.. again.. and again! JayCee screams in agony as Xplode scoops him up and falls backward with a backdrop! JayCee hits the mat hard with a splash, his arms out to his sides.

Xplode slowly rises once more as the fans will him to life. He glances at them and nods in respect. He then grabs JayCee by the hair and punches him repeatedly, each time JayCee looks to be more and more limp. Xplode then helps him to his feet and lifts him into the air, sending JayCee into the mat with a powerful spinebuster!!! the fans cheer loudly as JayCee remains on his back. Xplode drops to one knee, he is obviously exhausted and running out of gas.

Once more on his feet, Xplode stretches his arms out and unleashes a primal howl! He looks motivated now as he grabs JayCee and easily lifts him to his feet! Xplode goes for the DDT but is shoved away by JayCee! Xplode stumbles backwards towards the electric fence once more.. but he stops himself by planting his feet! Just as Xplode had done earlier, JayCee lunges forward and attempts to spear Xplode into the fenc, but Xplode uses his momentum against him and side steps easily, sending JayCee back into the barbed wire once more!!!

The electric fencing begins to snap and crackle for a time as the ring shakes.. and then suddenly the electricity is cut off with one final pop!!

Joey Aiello: CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?!!! They have broken the electric machinery!! What kind of impact could cause that?!!

President Mac looks concerned now for both men as he checks on their welfare. Xplode glances at him, the side of his body dripping with blood. Holding his ribs with one arm, he slowly rises and ushers President Mac out of his way. He then grabs JayCee and helps him to his feet. He then walks JayCee over to the barbed wire and begins to repeatedly drive him face first into the sharp barbed wire!!!

Jeremy Piven: YEAH!!!!

Joey Aiello: SOMEBODY STOP THIS!!!!

After a few attacks, Xplode backs up and watches as JayCee stumbles backward, his forehead ripped wide open! Smiling, Xplode lunges at JayCee but is somehow punched in the face! Xplode returns the punch with one of his own..

Both men slowly move towards center ring...

JayCee punches Xplode... the sound of his punch is hard enough to break metal.

Xplode stumbles backward, only to drive his knee into the gut of JayCee....

JayCee stumbles forward.. and then he punches Xplode in the injured rib cage area...

President Mac stands helplessly.. concerned for the welfare of both men.. as the match reaches it's epic moment.

Without hesitating, JayCee grabs Xplode quickly! After a brief struggle, JayCee spins him around and holds him in place. In a stunning move, JayCee attempts his finisher. the Elitemination!!! Almost having it locked in, JayCee looks determined, until somehow, Xplode manages to slide free and kick him in the gut!!! This sends JayCee stumbling backwards!!

Throwing himself at JayCee in exhaustion Xplode hooks the arms and then drives JayCee face first into the mat with his finisher.. the Drop Zone!

The fans scream with approval as JayCee remains face first on the mat. Exhausted, Xplode slowly rolls JayCee over.. and covers for the pin..

Mac stops counting!!!! 

Looking up at Mac with tired eyes, Xplode shouts as Mac points at the ring ropes. JayCee has somehow managed to lay his foot on the bottom rope in a desperation move! Xplode breathes hard and shakes his head in disgust as he slowly rolls away. He struggles to get back up to his feet. Glancing at Mac, Xplode then brings JayCee to the center of the ring. Hooking the arms once again, Xplode shouts at Mac before performing his finisher once more.. the Drop Zone!

Joey Aiello: This could be it!!!! Can Xplode get the pin?!! WAIT... WHAT IS HE DOING?!!!!

Xplode stares at Jay Cee for a time, and sees this the downed opponent is slightly moving still. Shaking his head in disgust, he helps Jay Cee back up to his feet. Putting him back into position.. Xplode hooks the arms....

...and nails the Drop Zone one... more... time.

Jeremy Piven: OOOOOOOOOOH DAMN!!!!! THAT HAS TO BE IT!!!

Rolling Jay Cee over, Xplode looks exhausted as he slowly hooks the leg and falls on top of Jay Cee for th epin..

THREE!!!!!!

Joey Aiello: IT'S OVER!!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER!!!! THAT RING IS COVERED IN BLOOD FROM THESE TWO MEN!!!! 

Xplode remains on top of Jay Cee for a moment until he finally rolls away, breathing hard. He then leans in and whispers something into Jay Cee's ear before President Mac grabs his arm and raises it in victory!!!

Jessica Stroup: Your winner.... The Destroyer of Worlds...  XPLODE!!!!

The fans stand up and cheer as the arena literally shakes from the responses!!! All at once, they begin to chant:

Crowd: THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Xplode nods in response before nodding at Jay Cee who nods back in respect. Xplode then hobbles towards Jay Cee and helps him to his feet. The two men share a handshake as medical crews rush into the ring now! Medical personnel check on both men before helping Jay Cee unto a gurney. Xplode watches as the medical teams wheel Jay Cee up the rampway and into the backstage area.

Joey Aiello: ..and with that, the landscape of the company changes. Xplode is now the number one contender for the any title of his choosing. This is going to get interesting.

Jeremy Piven: Agreed.. the Era of the X has begun.

The feed slowly fades out as Xplode is shown leaning against the ropes, covered in his own blood. Around him, the fans cheer in response, and his theme music continues to play...

BACKSTAGE

---

The cameras fade into the scene and standing in front of an EWC logo backdrop is the duo of Adrian Anderson and Barbaric, who stand emotionless looking at the camera; both dressed rather well, Barbaric in a black suit and tie, heavily bearded, with his arms by his side. Whilst Anderson is in a dark Grey suit; a lot taller than Barbaric, with his hands clasped together. Standing alongside them is the EWC interview Ace Heart, who has a smile upon his lips as he brings the microphone closer to them.

ACE HEART: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm joined by Adrian Anderson and Barbaric - otherwise known as, the Society of Savages!"

Boos echo throughout the arena, whilst the two men continue to stare hard into the camera, completely ignoring Heart who turns his head towards the two men - before he turns his head back around to the camera awkwardly, expecting the two men to acknowledge him.

ACE HEART: "Men, you've been awful quiet since you signed the dotted line to this company. Tell me, what is your reason for that?"

Heart extends the arm which has the microphone clenched in his hand. Barbaric remains in the same position with the same facial expression, looking brute and stern as he continues to stare into the camera. Anderson looks at Barbaric, before turning his attention to Heart. Slicking his hair back with his right hand he approaches the microphone.

AA: "Reasons.. reasons.. reasons. That's all anybody wants, now-a-days."

Anderson pauses. His southern accent very strong.

AA: "What did you expect us to do? Walk into this company and claim that we're the best and that we're taking over? Did you expect us to be causing havoc around this place right from the off? Your expectations of us is very different to the reality. Because in reality, we don't give a sh*t. We don't give a sh*t about making announcements. We don't give a sh*t about causing havoc. The only thing we give a sh*t about is wrestling.. and that's the truth of it. Now you see Ace.. myself and my companion here are employed by this company under a monthly basis - meaning we only appear on BRAWL or RAMPAGE once a month. That's it."

Heart looks stunned by the answer given to him by AA. However he recomposes himself, nods his head, before asking the next question.

ACE HEART: "What we DO know is that you'll be appearing on the anniversary show of BRAWL on the main event for the EWC World Tag Team Titles! How do you guys feel, going into the match?"

Anderson chuckles at Ace's question, who looks puzzled as he wonders what is so funny.

AA: "How do we feel? We feel sorry."

Ace nods his head.

ACE HEART: "And why's that?"

Immediately, Anderson replies.

AA: "We feel sorry because this company deserves better class tag teams. This company deserves the best in the business and you're looking at them. But the thing is Ace, our contract - like I said earlier, is only once a month. These people, the spectators.. they'll be missing out on quality tag team matches. They'll have to settle for the likes of the Hometown Heroes.. those bozo's who can't even get themselves booked on a card. And they'll have to settle for Another Killing Aspiration.. who got completely annihilated on their debut. This company has to settle for mediocrity! You wanna know how that makes us feel? 

That makes us honestly, feel sorry.

But you never know Ace. If we manage to walk away with the tag team titles, we may have to negotiate new contract terms.. heck, you might even see us on a weekly basis. But until then, we're remaining how we are."

ACE HEART: "What about Project Chaos? Are they a threat to your championship hopes?"

AA: "Project Chaos ain't shit. They ain't shit. Sure, they look pretty good against the mediocre's - which is pretty much everyone on the roster. But they haven't faced us. And Ace, we're different breed. We're not like your typical wrestlers. We're not like your typical entertainers. We're not like your typical man. We're not like your typical human being. We're are a different breed. 

I'm a trained killer Ace.

I've wrestled in the toughest independent establishment that no one in the EWC would have heard of. I traveled to Japan and I learned my trade, I mastered it. Me and Barbaric did. We mastered it. I'm not the biggest admittedly, I'm not the strongest also - but I'm goddamn definitely the toughest! Just like my buddy here Barbaric.

He's a fighter. Just like me. He fought in the octagon, just like me. He may not be the tallest also. He doesn't weight as much, also. But he sure as hell is the most barbaric wrestler in professional. He's been through hell, lived there for a while, and he's now on the other-side, just-like-me!"

AA takes a step backwards. Implying that his role in this segment is now done.

ACE HEART: "Any last words, Barbaric?"

Ace holds the microphone towards Barbaric who finally looks away from the camera and towards Steel.

BARBARIC: "No more words. Now it's time for action."

And with that said, the two men leave the scene immediately - leaving Ace wondering what the hell just happened.

EXPLODING RING SCAFFOLD TRIPLE THREAT
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

MADISON MITCHELL Vs ASH SCION Vs FLOYD SHOOTER

Description: There are no tables and the scaffold is placed 40 feet above the ring. The ring itself is laced with C4 explosive. To win you must be the last person standing on the Scaffold after your opponents have been thrown off of the scaffold and blown up by falling onto the exploding ring!!

---

Joe Aiello: Jeremy, wouldn’t you say we’ve had one HELL of an exciting night so far?

Jeremy Piven: Joe, I believe that I can say we have. We’ve seen Kurt Newman win the EWC International Championship and we also know that Xplode has a Money in the Bank shot at EWC Championship or EWC World Championship that he can cash in at ANY time!

Joe Aiello: That’s right, pal. We’re also about to find out who will become the United States Champion, right now!

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a elimination, EXPLODING RING SCAFFOLD TRIPLE THREAT MATCH! And it is for the Extreme Wrestling Corporation United States Championship! Introducing first, standing 5’8” and weighing in at 130 lbs, from Philadelphia, PA she is MADISON MITCHELL!

”Push It” by Salt N Pepa is heard as Madison Mitchell makes her way to the top of the entranceway moving to the music enthusiastically. She begins her march to the ring, pumping the fans up on the way as she takes the time to greet them and point at some of the signs being held up to support her. She jogs up the scaffold and starts to climb it, once up she bounces around and waves at the fans trying not to look down.

Jessica Stroup: Her opponents, introducing first standing 5’7” and weighing in at 127 lbs, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, she is ASH SCION!

As “Don't Mess With Me” blares through the arena, Ash Scion emerges from the entrance and makes her way down the ramp, as serious as a heart attack. She slaps hands with the fans on her way down the ramp, but her focus is laser sharp, her eyes never leaving the ring and then the scaffold. Bravely, she climbs up the up the ladder and gets on top and keeps a 1000 mile glare locked on Madison Mitchell.

Jeremy Piven: Ash Scion, like everyone else in the match was chosen by management to be in this match. I personally cannot wait to see what they can do. Ash Scion was here in 2013 and she’s returning and trying to become one of the few women to hold a championship here in EWC along with Amy Zing and Beth Harte.

Joe Aiello: Funny you should mention that, Bethe Harte has previously won the EWC World Championship and also held the EWC United States Championship with Amy Rosen! But there’s one more person who is going to be in this match.

Jessica Stroup: And their opponents, standing 6’3” tall and weighing in at 196 lbs, from Houston, TX he is Floyd “Sheriff” Shooter!

The initial guitar riff of "I Walk The Line" by Johnny Cash begins to play over the Arena's PA system, as red and orange lights stream down throughout the crowd. Small clouds of smoke waft up around the entrance way, while several tumbleweeds roll across the top of the ramp. Scenes of Cowboys, riding atop galloping horses in to the sunset, play on the EWC Jumbotron.

At the entrance way, through the rising smoke, steps Floyd "Sheriff" Shooter with his gaze to the floor and a Cattleman Stetson on top of his head. Floyd lifts his gaze as a smirk spreads across his face. As the crowd erupts, Floyd begins his stroll to the ring and looks up at the scaffold. Without any hesitation he starts to climb up the scaffold and once he reaches the top, he bows his hat to the ladies he’ll facing off against and then looks at the crowd. Floyd grabs his Stetson and slings it in to the crowd and takes a stance against Ash Scion and Madison Mitchell.

Joe Aiello: The last person in this match, like Ash and Madi, he was handpicked by management to be in this match. He has so much to prove just like his female opponents. I cannot wait to see what these three will do tonight.

Jeremy Piven: Well we know you’re a Madi-friend now. With three EWC wrestlers, 1 star who is Floyd Shooter and 2 Starlets, who are Madison Mitchell and Ash Scion, I’m going not honestly sure who I root for but this match will end in one way, with two broken arms for two of those people who are suspended forty feet above the ring.

Madison first takes a shot at Ash, delivering a stiff fist to her face. Ash resists the blows and stays standing, Floyd comes over and hits Madison a few punches himself allowing Ash to recover and start to pound on the Sheriff. The ladies team up and start pounding on Floyd but he manages to get a foot up and kick off Ash Scion and concentrates on Madison Mitchell.

He ducks an overhead punch, and counters with a Side Russian Leg Sweep taking down Madison. The scaffold shakes and echoes in the arena as the fans look up at one of the screens or the match itself. Floyd gets up and holds Madison a moment and hits a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker. But as he starts to push Madison over the edge, Ash Scion runs up and drives both names into his face.

Jeremy Piven: Great save by Ash Scion. It would look great if she was able to eliminate both, wouldn’t it Joey?

Joe Aiello: Of course it would look great, Jerry. There would be nothing to argue with for match of this magnitude. But don’t count Madison or Floyd out yet, each of them are still in this match.

Floyd falls on his back as Madison stands over her downed opponent and starts to kick and stomp Floyd Shooter’s body. Recovering, Ash Scion stands up, grabs his leg and hits a Leg Vine, pulling as hard as she can. Floyd screams and tries to fight it but Madison comes down and hits a Sleeper Hold the sheriff. He starts to go under slowly but Floyd throws several hard kicks at Ash’s back.

She yells loudly and releases the attack, putting distance between them. Madison releases Floyd and he falls on the scaffold getting his wind back. Madison hits a low Dropkick into the chest and face of Ash Scion as she sits up. Madi picks up her female opponent and hits a Snap Suplex, rolls over hits a second, and does it one last time hitting the Three Snapping Amigos. The scaffold snaps with each blow but it doesn’t give.

Madison tries to stand up, but Ash pulls her in and hits a Guillotine Choke Hold. Madison would scream but the grip is too tight and prevents her wind from escaping. The Madi-Friends get solidly behind their favorite star, however she can barely hear them and her movements start to slow down. But as she starts to fade out, Floyd hurries over, breaks the hold and locks in his own Triangle Chokehold on Ash Scion. Madison rolls on her back and a leg of hers hangs over the edge. The Madi-Friends speak up for Madison as she just barely hangs in there.

Jeremy Piven: Do you believe this? The Madi-Friends are seriously getting behind their favorite superstar. But that energy could overflow and spill on someone else like Floyd Shooter. See how he’s suddenly back in this match, choking out Ash Scion?

Joe Aiello: We see that indeed, Ash Scion is on the receiving end of this vicious Triangle Chokehold. With Ash getting choked out, Madison was choked out herself; she’s in a very serious situation as she’s so close to eliminating herself. That won’t make the Madi-Friends very happy.

Floyd releases his chokehold, knowing he cannot win by submission. He grabs Ash by one arm and helps up to her feet, lifts her up into a Vertical Suplex but Madison recovers, runs over and hits a Clothesline across Floyd’s waist. This causes him to drop Ash Scion, who falls down and hits a DDT. Floyd holds his head and waist, and the two ladies try to push him over the edge. Thinking quickly, Floyd grabs Madison and pulls her with him.

The two grab the edge hang on for dear life. The fans get excited screaming as they watch Floyd Shooter and Madison Mitchell hang over the edge. With fierce kicks to Floyd Shooter’s head, Ash does what she can to try and eliminate him. He throws his feet and kicks Madison but Madison gets up on the scaffold. Diving at Ash, Madi floors her opponent with a Clothesline. Seeing his chance, Floyd does manage to pull himself up and takes a breathing break as he watches Madison and Ash fight.

Wrapping her legs around Mitchell’s waist, Ash pushes her opponent away and pulls her in between Madison’s fists and punches her back. Scion pushes Mitchell back and she trips over Floyd, hitting the scaffold which shakes and echoes. Moving quick, Ash walks over to Floyd and smashes Floyd in the face with her feet. He blocks several of her stomps and kicks and rolls away from the assault. Sheriff stands up and hits a Spinning Wheel Kick on Ash and the two are laid out on the scaffold.

Joe Aiello: And all three are knocked down! It’s anyone’s match at this point. Could we see a scion to the United States championship? Maybe we’ll see the Madi-Friends pleased? Or will there be a new sheriff in town?

Jeremy Piven: At least you’re NOW being honest and fair. With these three stars down, it is anyone’s game. Maybe we’ll see a few people roll off the scaffold in shame or be unceremoniously thrown off like a drunk gets thrown out of a bar?

Floyd is the first to recover and he steps up to help Madison up. She get a European Uppercut on him, stunning him following up with a Hurricarana. Floyd manages not to get thrown off of the scaffold and instead rolls back towards Madison and Ash. The two ladies start to beat him down again, Ash driving fists into his back and head while Madison thrusts her knees into her opponent ribs.

Seeing that Madison is distracted, Ash Scion jumps over and hits a Running Drop Kick on Madison. She mounts her opponent and punches her in the face, then takes a stance over Madison over bashes her head on the scaffold. But Madison throws a leg up and kicks her opponent’s head from behind. Scion flies over Madison and Floyd and hits the scaffold hard. Madison gets up and stumbles a bit, weakened from the fight.

Joe Aeillo: This could be over very soon! All three of them have taken one Hell of a beating this night so far. Who is going to win this match? Who is going to leave New Orleans as the EWC United States Champion?

Jeremy Piven: Joey, someone is going to get hurt and we’re going to enjoy this. I don’t know who is going to be broken but I know that no one will be disappointed. These three wrestlers have fought with everything that they can.

Ash Scion attempts to go for a Hip Toss, but Madison blocks it her attack. Madi tries a Hip Toss of her own, but Ash blocks it too. They break up their attack, and Scion runs at Mitchell but Madi comes at her with a Clothesline. Taking the hit but not falling down, Ash Scion gets some distance between the two of them, turns, and goes for a Cross Body Block, but Madison catches and tosses Ash Scion with a big Fall Away Slam!

Jumping down on her opponent’s back, Madison smashes Ash’s face against the scaffold hard. Ash stops moving, giving Madison a moment to roll her opponent over and start hammering her opponent’s face. With her opponent down, Madison Mitchell rolls Ash Scion to the edge and as Ash hangs from the scaffold, but Madi stomps on her fingers causing Ash to fall from the scaffold!

ELIMINATION: ASH SCION BY MADISON MITCHELL

Jeremy Piven: One down, one to go! Ash Scion sadly has been eliminated from this match!

Joe Aiello: Are the Madi-friends going to be celebrating all night!? It’s just down to Floyd Shooter and Madison Mitchell now! Who is going to leave StrangleMania X as the EWC United States champion!

As Ash Scion lands flat on her back, there’s a loud explosion around the ring. Smoke begins floating up and Ash Scion slowly rolls out of the ring. EMTs run down and check on her. Seeing that Ash Scion is out of this match, Madison raises her arms up in celebration. The Madi-Friends cheer loudly for her. She taunts Ash from above Floyd starts to recover himself.

Floyd Shooter gets to his knees and recovers, he slowly stands up and is looking at Madison Mitchell. He runs up to her and Dropkicks her from behind. Madison hits the scaffold hard, moving quickly Floyd Shooter stands up, picks up Madison Mitchell and hits her with a Fall Away Slam. She slams so hard on the scaffold that she bounces and accidentally goes over the edge and hits the ring! Once more, another explosion rattles the area and Floyd looks down in disbelief as the bell tolls several times.

ELIMINATION: MADISON MITCHELL BY FLOYD SHOOTER

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner.... and NEW EWC United States Champion.. Floyd “Sheriff” Shooter!

Joe Aiello: HE DID IT! Floyd Shooter has did it! Our first United States champion going into our eighteenth season is our Sheriff!

Jeremy Piven: You’re right there, I thought as a Madi-friend you’d be sad that she lost, but I’m glad to say that you’re not broken up by this. Ash Scion and Madison Mitchell fought with everything they could to win the match, but in the end the EWC’s local sheriff, Floyd Shooter, managed to squeeze out a massive win tonight. Folks don’t away, we got plenty more for you here at Stranglemania ten!

EMT’s help Ash Scion and Madison Mitchell onto stretches as Floyd Shooter climbs down as “I Walk The Line” plays loudly. The referee walks over and hands him the EWC United States Championship. They raise the championship as his fans cheer but Ash and Madison fans however boo him as he walks back triumphantly to the back.


"They never believed in me. They said I'd never do it. And tonight, I'm going to prove them wrong."

The voice of Mark Storm is heard as the cameras fade from black and into the scene, where Mark Storm is seated looking away from the camera, at presumably, an interviewer. His face is painted in resemblance of a skeleton skull, something he has just recently announced is now part of his new image. From what we can see, he is wearing a black woolen jacket which covers his signature t-shirt "Storm has Arrived", which was especially made for Stranglemania X. 

"I've always been a fighter. Ever since I was a young kid. Growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, you had to grow up pretty quick otherwise you were going to get eaten alive. And I wasn't going to let that happened. I wasn't going to let the big kids kick me down. So I started fighting.. street fighting. That's how it all started."

Whilst speaking, a montage plays of pictures of Storm when he was a child. With blonde hair, big eyes, and a smile embedded on his face on most of the picture. It's hard to believe that Storm has become the man he is today, after all, in all of his pictures he looks reasonably happy. Whilst now-a-days, the only smiles we get are now sadistic, sinister and evil.

"Street fighting was how it started. Until it culminated into something else - I started to enjoy hurting people."

He smiled as he finished his sentence, his smile for once genuine. The camera shot then moves to another angle, a lower angle which faces upwards towards Storm who still looks at the interviewer. From this angle, Storm looks powerful and confident as he sits up straight on his chair, hands together.

"I started competing for my high school as an amateur wrestler. I won the state title, and I undefeated. Even in high school, people never thought much of me. My teacher said that I would never amount to much. I proved her wrong.. however I was stripped from my title because I had got into some legal issues. I was hanging around a rough crowd in my teenage years. With my mother mainly being absent due to her working two jobs, I had fallen into the grasp of criminals. I did time in a youth facility where they attempted to make me into a better man."

Photos now flood through of Storm in the youth facility center, Storm with bruises upon his face on most of the photos. 

"I admit that it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy at all. But I went through it and came out the other side. And after that I moved to Albuquerque with my father and I trained to become a mixed martial arts fighter. My street fighting days were over, and I was now fixated on getting paid for beating the sh*t out of people. Is there really any better occupation than that? Mixed Martial Arts is something I am very passionate about. Fighting in the octagon for a few years really made me a better fighter, it made me a better performer. The octagon is what developed me. I enhanced skills, maneuvers and knowledge from the octagon that you could never get in the four sided ring."

A video plays of Storm fighting in the octagon against a man almost twice the size of him. In the video, we see Mark Storm leap up into the air to deliver a mighty superman punch to his opponent, which only makes his opponent stagger backwards a little. The quality of the video isn't great. We then see Storm shuffle left and right, dodging strikes from his opponent, before landing a vicious roundhouse kick which knocks his opponent down and out. The video stops and the camera cuts back to the scene, from a different angle now - eye level with Storm. 

"I'm a fighter. I always have been and always will be. I had to learn my trade as a street fighter in my early days. I then stepped into the octagon and learned my trade there, developing as a fighter before I made the transition to professional wrestler. And ever since I made that transition, I've managed to shake the foundations of the wrestling industry. I've managed to rise - like a phoenix would - up to the top of the ladders. I started wrestling in small time federations, the independent scene where all of the crazy f*cks are located. The crazy matches, the crazy stipulations, the crazy fans. Everything in the underground world is crazy. And I love it. It's just like me.. a little - bit - crazy. I was doubted when I was wrestling in the independent scene believe ir or not, despite going undefeated in two years. People believed that I would be around the indy scene for a lot longer, and that I would finally be picked up approaching my late thirties. I proved them wrong.

And I rose from the bottom of the wrestling chain to the top. I'm now wrestling here in the EWC. I was doubted as soon as I walked into this company by many of the roster. I remember someone telling me that I was either going to go to the very top, or I was just going to be one of those guys who just float around the mid card. There's was only ever going to be one way I was going to go. And that's to the top."

The camera angle switches again to the previous low angle position. Storm chuckles, running his fingers through his hair before continuing with his promo.

"It's funny because people use the fact that I have schizophrenia to doubt me. They believe that because I have this illness which I was diagnosed with last year.. that I'm not going to do much. I'm not going to reach my full potential. I'm not going to be the superstar I could have been, if I didn't have this condition. People doubt me on that basis and if I'm going to be quite frank - they're assh***. They're narrow minded assholes who should be wiped clean from this earth.

We're living in a world where anything is possible. I don't limit myself due to my condition. I am who I am and I acknowledge that. What I am is a fighter, what I am is a wrestler - and that's what I'm going to keep on doing, and doing that at the highest level. If you think I'm going to drop the ball then you think wrong. I've proved too many people wrong.. and I'm going to prove you wrong."

Whilst speaking a montage of clips of some of the matches Storm has competed in begins to play. Clips from his first victory against Madison Mitchell, followed by clips to his first and thus far only defeat against Derek Wellings, followed by Storm picking up a victory against Welling and Madison - followed by Project Chaos being announced victors by Jessica Stoup, the video finally finishing on the referee turning Storm over to unveil that Storm has the briefcase. The camera cuts back to the scene where Storm is nodding his head approvingly at the interviewer, his eyes vacant, his lips moisturized.

"I'm a monster. I'm the reason why you can't got to sleep at night. I'm the reason why you look under your duvet.. why you rummage under your bed, why you keep the lights on whilst your sleeping. I am a monster. And at Stranglemania X - the monster is going to be present. You haven't seen the monster inside of me yet. You haven't seen Mark Storm at his optimum - but you're in for a treat at Stranglemania! Not only are you going to see the monster but you're also going to see the eradication of Ruby. 

And you know what I find funny?

This time, I don't walk into this match the underdog. I don't walk into this match with people doubting me. I walk into this match as the favorite. No one is doubting me anymore because people are beginning to realize that Mark Storm isn't someone you should be taking lightly. Mark Storm isn't just the one hit wonder. People are beginning to realize my potential... I think that's very funny. But that doesn't matter. What YOU people think doesn't matter. In fact, I preferred it when you just doubted my ability because EVERY single time I'd be contradicting your expectations."

Storm nods his head once more. The camera once again changing angles. 

"AT STRANGLEMANIA - I am going to be heralded as the new EWC World Heavyweight Champion. There isn't going to be some shock win for Ruby. Floyd Shooter and Derek Wellings care too much about their reputation to prevent me from winning. At Stranglemania, it's going to happen. And the initiation Project Chaos will be undergo!"

“Freak Like Me” by Halestorm hits the sound system as the lights in the arena dim down. Smoke fills the entrance and a spotlight shines on the backstage entrance.. Moments later, Ruby steps out from behind the curtain with Zane right by her side. She glares around those in attendance with a wicked smile on her face as she enjoys the boos she is receiving. After standing at the top of the ramp for a few moments, she starts making her way to the ring with Zane following right beside her. Once they get to the ring, she turns and looks at Zane and he doesn’t hesitate in grabbing her by the waist, lifting her up and on to the ring apron. He pulls himself up beside her where he sits on the second rope for her. She leans down and gives him a quick kiss, before she steps through the ropes. She doesn’t even acknowledge the crowd as she stands in one of the corners, glaring across the ring at her opponent. As her music dies down, she turns and gives Zane another quick kiss before he jumps down to the outside of the ring, waiting for the match to begin.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen this match is a no Disqualification match, for the EWC World Heavyweight Championship! Intorducing first, weighing in at 115 pounds! From Las Vegas, Nevada! She is RUBYYYYY!!!

Joe Aiello: This young woman won the right to be for the EWC World Championship just a weeks ago. This is her second match and what a great way to kick off your career here in EWC by winning the the EWC World Championship?

Jeremy Piven: You're right, this would be a great honor and an excellent start to a young starlets career if she can win the EWC World Championship tonight. But there's one problem, she has to face Mark Storm.

The slow melody of "Far From Any Road" begins to play through the sound system, as the crazed fans begin to quiet down as the lights in the arena begin to dim. All eyes divert to the top of the entrance ramp - where smoke begins to rise from the stage, a few pyrotechnics erupting before quieting.

From the dusty mesa, her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote.

As the lyrics from The Handsome Families hit song plays through the arena, emerging from the tunnel is the self-proclaimed "Reckoning", Mark Storm - his eyes vacant as he fixated his eyes on the ring, his arms by his side and his feet shoulder width apart as he stood, motionless on the top of the ramp whilst the audience watch wearily.

She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun,
And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood

He begins to walk down the entrance ramp, dressed in his usual wrestling attire of black tights with his surname "Storm" on the right side of his tights, whilst "save" on the other - and of course in his black laced boots & biker gloves. In addition, he wore a long black leather coat, unbuttoned from the middle.

In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon,
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom.
A strange hunger haunted me; the looming shadows danced.
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand.

At this point Storm had reached the outside of the four sided ring, his eyes still vacant, his face remaining emotionless as he leaps onto the ring apron entering the ring. With the audience applauding him he walks over towards the centre of the ring, turning three sixty with his arms out wide, his emotionless face finally showing some emotion as a grin appears on his face, his teeth glistening. He then stops turning and reaches for the heavens, whilst doing so another pyrotechnic erupts.

When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.
And rise with me forever across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands
He takes off his leather coat, passing it over to the ring announcer before moving over to his designated corner.

Jessica Stroup: And her opponent, weighing in at 209 pounds! From St. Louis, Missouri, MARK STORRRRRM!!!

Joe Aiello:  Ladies and Gentlemen, here we are! The first main event of this fabulous evening!

Jeremy Piven: I've got goose bumps right now Joe! History had been made all night and it's only going to get more historic! Will Ruby join the sisterhood of

Ruby just responds by hitting him with one vicious forearm, which immediately has Storm rocking and a relentless Ruby hits him with 3 more hard shots, which has Storm stumbling back into the corner. Storm quickly tries getting out of the corner, but another shot just as hard from Ruby sends him back into it and now Ruby starts stomping away at Storm, not giving him a moment’s rest bite, realizing the best chance to win this match is to keep on Storm, Ruby just keeps kicking away. She didn't want this fight either, but it's happening and she's never going back down from a challenge, which is evident as she again switches to more of these forearm shots, Storm just can't seem to get out of the corner at the moment here.

The ref is telling Ruby to back up, but she's not listening, she's in the zone and now continues her assault with European Uppercuts, four of them to be precise, all of which find the mark perfectly. Taking one step backwards, Ruby now steps back at Storm, just hitting one hellacious, closed-fisted right hand on Storm which drops him down to one knee now in the corner. Showing an aggressive streak that would match anyone in EWC, Ruby continues to attack Storm with stomps that Steve Austin would be proud of, creating her own mud hole as Storm slumps further and further to the mat.

Jeremy Piven: We’re seeing some great action from both Storm and Ruby tonight. If he’s not careful, Storm is going to have a mud hole stomped in his as and walked dry by Ruby.

Joe Aiello: Ruby showing us some Stone Cold Steve Austin tribute right there. You can actually feel how badly she wants the EWC World Championship.

Graciously, she lets Storm back to his feet, but this is only to Irish whip the guy into the opposite turnbuckle, showing great strength for one her size. Ruby now comes running at Storm, but Mark Storm finally decides to fight back as he shuffles his feet and hits Ruby with a back elbow, which caught her good and dropped Ruby to the floor, holding her jaw.

Taking a couple of breathes to calm himself down after Ruby's onslaught, Storm turns to see Ruby getting back up and hits her with a European Uppercut of her own, a taste of her own medicine here. In a rare match for Storm, he's facing someone he's able to lift quite capably and executes a suplex on Ruby, but Ruby is able to turn in mid-air and land on her feet, she spins Storm around, kicks him in the gut and plants him with a DDT, driving him face first into the mat and immediately rushes in for the cover...

Kickout!

Joe Aiello: That was a close call! Mark Storm is still in this match, Jerry.

Jeremy Piven: Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades; you can ask Derek Wellings about that last one. It’s still anyone’s match if you ask me.

Storm pushes Ruby up and rolls onto his side, preventing another pinning opportunity. With a huff, Ruby is back to her feet, but Storm doesn't spend much time on the ground either as he gets himself back up, only to receive another forearm shot to the nose from Ruby, again sending him back into the turnbuckle which keeps him on his feet.

Ruby hits him with another hard shot, it's a wonder Storm's nose isn't busted the amount of punishment it's taken so far in this one. Storm must think it's Christmas come early when Ruby stops hitting him in the nose, only to realise it's because now she's chopping him in the chest hard, three shots and each of which echo throughout the arena, with the audience mimicking the legendary nature boy with each shot.

Jeremy Piven: Damn! Look at Storm getting owned off a girl! Not only is he losing going to get made fun of tonight in the back, but if he loses the title to, he’ll never hear the end of it.

Joe Aiello: Something tells me if she heard you saying that, you'd be the one getting 'owned' by her. Ruby won her right to be in this match tonight.

Storm now comes staggering out of the corner, holding the top rope and Ruby hits him with a clubbing blow, hard to the back of his neck, making him drop down to one knee and one more clubbing shot is followed up by Ruby Irish whipping Storm into the ropes. As Storm returns, Ruby goes for a clothesline, which is ducked by Storm; Ruby turns around quickly-Yakuza Kick by Storm! The former World Champion just turned this match into his favor with the first high impact move of the match, knocking Ruby down he may have knocked some of her teeth out too!

Holding her mouth, Ruby shakes her head, trying to regain her senses but a determined E.E. Storm is persistent now, he pulls her back to her feet and bounces her head off the turnbuckle pad, keeping her in the corner as he prepares to dish out some punishment of his own. In the corner, Storm hits a few stomps, followed by chops of his own and now Ruby flops onto her ass in the corner as Storm now backs up. Sore, but still wanting to fight, Ruby uses the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet as Storm approaches, ready to inflict some more damages

Joe Aiello: Ruby better careful, Storm looks like he’s getting a great idea.

Jeremy Piven: This match could be over very soon!

Now as he comes back, he takes a little too long and a kick to the stomach from Ruby buys herself a little more time, Storm now goes for the head of Ruby, but before he can get her she kicks him in the stomach again, one more kick sees Ruby with a chance of fighting her way out of the corner until Storm shows his intelligence and drives his knee into her stomach, slowing her down again as he pulls Ruby into the middle of the ring. Storm Irish whips her and as Ruby returns, he goes for a clothesline, which is ducked and now Ruby is building momentum as she hits the opposite ropes, she returns...only to get taken back down with a flying knee from Storm, hitting her exactly where he intended too.

Storm attempts as pin fall now as he hopes to win the match...

Kickout!

Joe Aiello: Another kick out! Ruby doesn’t want to give up either in this match.

Jeremy Piven: I thought he had it! I really thought Project Chaos won the World Championship tonight!

Storm gets right back up to his feet, pulling Ruby up by the head. Another knife-edge chop from Storm has Ruby rocking as he sees her near the ropes Storm comes running, looking to clothesline her over...only for Ruby to wisely lower her head and send Storm over, crashing to the outside. Ruby drops to a knee though and isn't able to capitalize on this opportunity as Storm slowly, but surely, gets back to his feet and climbs onto the ring apron again. This time he goes a little more high risk by spring boarding off the ropes towards Ruby: but Ruby rises to her feet in time and counters it into a ring shaking spinebuster, even for two wrestlers as light as these! Ruby thinks she has it now as she hooks the leg of Storm...

Kickout!

Joe Aiello: Another kick out! She was so close to victory she could have tasted it!

Jeremy Piven: Mark Storm doesn’t want to let his fans down. You know he doesn’t want to let his team mates down. The right to wear that championship is too much motivation to continue fighting.

Ruby rolls her eyes, she half expected a win there as did quite a few people here, but she didn't get it and the fight continues. Ruby brings Storm up to his feet, attempting to Irish whip him, but Storm spins under the arm of Ruby, kicking her in the stomach and DDT'ing her, unlike Ruby though, Storm doesn't let go as he keeps the arm hooked around the neck of Ruby, dragging her back to her feet, hoping to go for the second. Storm goes to drop her again, but before he can Ruby shows great strength in picking him up off his feet and charging towards the turnbuckle with him, back first and freeing up her neck. Ruby takes mount over Storm in the corner, and viciously begins HEADBUTTING HIM! But Storm isn't gonna take this abuse for long! He scoops under her legs and tosses her over him to the outside! Ruby spills hard into the floor, rolling over and trying to regain her composure. Storm's running across the ring, he hits the ropes and is coming back-STORM COMES SOARING OVER THE ROPES AND LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF RUBY!!!!

The crowd is amazed by the showing from these two, and the fact neither have used a single weapon to their advantage yet. But all of that is about to change as Storm slowly gets to his feet and goes to the announce table, telling the time keeper to move as he folds up the chair! He looks at Ruby and smiles, smacking the chair against the announce table as he stalks a groggy Ruby. Ruby stands up-STORM CRACKS HER IN THE HEAD!

Joe Aiello: Holy HELL can we feel that! Mark Storm just smashed Ruby with that steel chair and it doesn’t look like he’s going to give up any time soon!

Jeremy Piven: It’s no disqualification, may as well do anything you can to win the EWC Championship.

Mark Storm lifts the chair up and smashes the chair again, and again, and again, and stops at a fourth smash. Going up top of a turnbuckle, Storm flies off and lands with the chair on Ruby’s face and chest and once more, Storm goes to the top of a turnbuckle and comes down again with another vicious chair shot. He tosses the chair aside and goes for another pin…

SHOULDER UP! Ruby barely manages to get her should up from the attack. Storm fights with the referee and tells him that it was three. The two argue for a few moments before Storm drops it, he lifts up Ruby and hits a Snap Underhook Suplex, goes over to his opponent, flips her over and hits a German Suplex onto the steel chair. Ruby holds her neck as Storm pulls her back to her feet and hits her with the Ricks Reckoning but he doesn’t let up and sets the chair up in the center of the ring. As Storm stands Ruby on her feet, she begins to fight back by head butting Storm in his mouth. The blow stuns Mark Storm and allows Ruby score a low blow with her knee. She whips him across the ring but Mark Storm mages to reverse it and hits her with a Discus Throw. Once more, he lifts Ruby up. She fights back but Storm easily lifts her up and hits the Dystopia! He sits down next to her, places an arm on her to hook her leg and another elbow across Ruby’s chest and the referee drops down quickly…

“Far From Any Road” by The Handsome Family plays as Storm gets up and places a foot on the stomach of his defeated opponent and the referee gives Storm the EWC World Championship then lifts it over his head as he receives a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner by pin fall, and NEW EWC WORLD CHAMPION! STORM!

Joe Aiello: I don’t believe it! Despite all the pain and vicious attacks they did to one another, it’s Mark Storm who comes out with the EWC World Championship! What an incredible night!

Jeremy Piven: And that’s another massive victory for Project Chaos tonight! These men are going to be unstoppable very soon. But folks, we’re not done yet.

CHAMBER OF HORRORS
HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

DEREK WELLINGS Vs SHADOW MAN

Description: An Electrified Steel Cage, laced with all kinds of weapons and rolls of barbed wire, and razor wire in and around the ring. A Hell in a Cell cage covers the electrified Cage without a top on it.
There are only two ways to win, either by pinfall or by somehow escaping the inescapable cage.

---

Joe Aiello: Folks, put the children to bed, let your pets outside and turn on the lights. What can possibly be the most violent match on the card is about to take place.

Jeremy Piven: No matter who leaves with the titles, the fans here and at home are the winners tonight. We’re going to see either a Legend Reborn or the rise of a new star.

Inside the ring, Jessica Stroup stands as the sealed is lowered around her. She smiles and looks at the crowd.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is Chamber of Horrors match and it is for the Extreme Wrestling Corporation Hardcore Championship! In this match, a cage with weapons and a ceiling will be put around the ring and electrified and a Hell in a Cell placed on top. The only way to win is by pin fall or escaping the cages! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan! Standing 6’4” and weighing in at 280 lbs, he is “The Airborne Ranger” DEREK WELLINGS!



Derek Welling excitedly runs out on top of the Entrance Ramp. He taunts the crowd to raise the roof on one end and succeeds. Derek then runs over to the other end and taunts the other end successfully. Before the Airborne Ranger heads down to the ring, he gets to the top of the ramp, takes a knee and raises the roof as yellow sparklers fire up behind him for several seconds. He slowly gets up and throws a fist to the ground and a large explosion of dark purple, yellow and white pyro goes off behind up shooting upwards. The fans cheer loudly as he heads down the ramp towards the cage.

Quickly, Derek runs down to the ramp, climbs the stairs and climbs in quickly. Pointing to the crowd, Derek pumps his fist back and forth like a pair of pistons, cups his hands around his mouth for a shout out and lets out a loud call. Once the crowd is riled up from the shout out, Derek flexes his arms in a strong man pose, then crosses them over his chest and waits for the match to begin.

Joe Aiello: This it for Derek Wellings, despite the hardships he’s faced against men like Damien Kingston and Mark Storm, he hasn’t given up. To soldier’s like him, quitting is not an option. This is the time for him to either go big or go home.

Jeremy Piven: If you’ve been paying attention to the fans sites like him, you know that Derek’s chance is minimal compared to Shadow Man. But at the same time, it would be a great start for the Airborne Ranger if he ended the streak. But honestly, Shadow Man has this match already in the bag.

Jessica Stroup: His opponent, from New York City, New York, standing 6’5” and weighing in at 245 lbs, he is the EWC Original, SHADOW MAN!

The lights in the arena slowly begin to dim as everyone in the arena quickly gets to their feet and begin to make some noise. "Rap God" by Eminem then begins to play over the Sound System as three strobe lights begin to pulse in the entrance way, fog then begins to rise from below the stage in front of the entrance.

The X-Treme Tron lights up counting down from 9 all the way to 1. It seems as though every single person is on their feet counting down the numbers. Once it gets to 0 large letters flash “IT'S SHOWTIME”.

An enormous uproar of cheers now blends out the blasting of "Rap God"! A few moments later Shadow Man walks from behind the wall of Fog onto the stage. He stands them for a few seconds with a smirk on his face and begins to point to the fans who are screaming the loudest.

Shadow then looks towards the camera with a cocky yet confident look on his face as he begins to walk down the ramp and towards the ring. On the way he makes silly faces into the camera. After waving at the fans while walking down the ramp Shadow runs and slides onto the ring apron on one knee and holding onto the middle Rope, Shadow gets to his feet and in a cocky manor steps threw the first and second Ropes.

He then gets into the ring and runs over to the corner and jumps up onto the second turnbuckle. He pats himself on the chest twice and then points to all the screaming fans. He then points to the sky and pumps his fist for Memphis Reigns! Shadow then jumps down from the turnbuckle and turns around and leans in the corner and awaits for the match to begin.

Joe Aiello: The man, the myth, the legend, the EWC Original Shadow Man is back where he belongs, in the EWC ring at Stranglemania fighting for the Hardcore Championship.

Jeremy Piven: Without Shadow Man there is no Hardcore Division. If it wasn’t for Shadow Man setting the standard, there would be no EWC and now Hardcore Championship. At last, a new generation can get the priveledge to watch Shadow Man make Derek Wellings the fifth man who tried to beat Shadow Man at Stranglemania and the fifth man who fell at Stranglemania.

Joe Aiello: You’re right about one thing, in the past Darius, Level-One, Cameron Hayden and Alexander Dreadnaught have fought for Shadow Man for one reason or another. Every time Shadow Man faced someone here at Stranglemania and fought with everything they had for four years and four years Shadow Man has sent each man home with an embarrassing loss and either his head held high alone or his head held high as he looked at a championship. Tonight he has a chance to take home the Hardcore Championship.

As Shadow Man and Derek look around the ring at the fans, the door to the cage is locked then the Hell in a Cell is lowered around them. The closest cage to them is in turn electrified and the bell rings out. The fans are excited as a group hold up “SHADOW MAN 4 EVER” and another group hold up “AIRBRONIE FTW”. Shadow Man smiles as he looks at Derek but the Airborne Ranger offers his head instead. Not needed the loud response of the fans to convince him what to do is right, Shadow Man shakes hands with Derek.

The fans explode as they shake hands. Once they release hands they instantly lock up and Shadow Man gets the upper hand and hits a front Facelock then switches it to a Hammerlock. He puts Derek into a Choke Sleeper Hold but the larger Derek over powers him and pushes him into a turnbuckle. Shadow Man escapes the turnbuckle and drives his knee into Derek’s gut.

With the Airborne Ranger’s face on the top rope, he hits a Face Wash which stuns Derek and allows Shadow to hit a Russian Legsweep. Shadow doesn’t let up and hammers away at Derek’s face with his fist several times. As his opponent lays on the canvas, Shadow backs away goes on top of a turnbuckle and hits a Moonsault and goes for a pin!




ONE!




Derek Wellings gets a shoulder up.

Jeremy Piven: Too soon for that, Shadow. I know you’re a busy man with shit to do at your hotel room but even I know Derek isn’t going to go down that easily.

Joe Aiello: Might be counting your eggs early but Shadow Man does everything for a reason. He’s not one of EWC’s most celebrated athletes because he’s there. He does what he does for a reason and we’ll eventually see why that is very soon.

Shadow Man looks into a corner to see a trashcan filled with weapons. He tips it over and allows the weapons to fall out and onto the ground. Several street signs, a police baton, a small fire extinguisher, a crowbar and two vases with two mirrors. With the vases in his hand, Shadow Man stalks Derek from behind and allows him to stand up. Derek starts getting up and once he turns around Shadow Man strikes and smashes the vases on Derek’s head causing him to hold his ears and stumble to the cage.

The Airborne Ranger grabs the cage, is shocked and jumps off only to be hit with the baton in his gut. Shadow Man winds up and smashes it against eh back of Derek’s neck and then breaks it over his ass. He tosses the broken piece on to the cage and grabs the fire extinguisher, kicks Derek over on his back, climbs the turnbuckle and hits another Moonsault using the Fire Extinguisher between them. Shadow and Derek yell loudly with Derek taking the majority of the attack.

However the EWC Original overcomes the trade off from his attack and goes for a pin…




ONE!...





TWO!...




Wellings gets his shoulder up!

Joe Aiello: Once more Derek doesn’t give in to Shadow Man’s assault.

Jeremy Piven: Shadow Man has to take this match up another level if he expects to win here tonight. The Hardcore Championship needs to return to the real Hardcore Champion.

The Airborne Ranger rolls onto his stomach and tries to recover and gets to his knees. Shadow Man helps him up and with his opponent doubled over, helps him look up. However Derek thrusts his head forward and Head Butts Shadow Man stunning him for a moment. Moving quickly, Derek hits and Eye Rake and several Knife Edge Chops on Shadow Man. The fans woo with each chop and with Shadow Man on the ropes, Derek hits a Big Boot and presses Shadow Man into the electrified cage.

Painfully, Shadow Man screams until Derek lets him off and takes him out with the Dragon Kick. His opponent lands hard on the shards of vase as Derek takes the crowbar and smashes his opponent several times over his opponent’s back. With Shadow Man laid out, Derek flips him over and tries for a pin while hooking the leg…




ONE!...




Shadow Man gets his shoulder up.

Joe Aiello: It didn’t work for Shadow, Derek. I highly doubt it was going to work for you despite beating him with a crowbar.

Jeremy Piven: That’s a massive flaw by Derek Wellings. Shadow Man is the embodiment of everything that is Hardcore and that is Extreme Wrestling Corporation. This is likely going to cost him the match.

Derek gets up and with the crowbar he walks over to the other garbage can and begins prying at the handcuffs that keep it on the cage. Using his massive strength, Derek breaks off the handles and grabs the can. He walks over with the trash can and empties it on Shadow Man. A brick, a horse shoe, a riding crop, very large and phallic cucumber and a multi strand whip with tiny metal barbs fall out.

Picking up the riding crop, Derek mounts Shadow Man and begins to beat him with the crop. Several people laugh as Shadow Man is forced to ride the much heavier Airborne Ranger around the ring. However Shadow Man grabs ahold of the brick, head butts Derek off him and smashes the brick over his opponent’s face. With him laid out, Shadow takes a mirror, places one on Derek’s chest, climbs up on the 2nd rope, jumps off and breaks it on his opponent.

The Airborne Ranger rolls around as his chest is cut open and scratched by the mirror shards. However Shadow Man doesn’t car, he picks up a STOP sign, runs up to Derek and tries to hit him up Derek grabs the top rope and low bridges Shadow Man into shocking himself again. Derek then Drop Kicks Shadow Man and breaks the connection. Derek then puts his hands on Shadow Man’s shirt and begins to rip it off his body. Shreds of fine fabric fly around the ring and Derek grabs the whip and starts to beat Shadow Man’s back. He yells loudly in pain as Derek beats him like a horse.

Joe Aiello: Sweet Jesus, Derek is really letting Shadow Man have it tonight. We know that Derek’s into BDSM but I’m pretty sure this is going a little too far.

Jeremy Piven: Going too far? I don’t think he’s going far enough. These people paid to see a blood bath and viciousness to come out and that’s what they’re going to get. We’re going to see someone lose a lot of blood as well as Derek Wellings become a lot more serious in that ring.

Derek tosses the whip aside and walks up behind Shadow Man with the garbage can he broke loose. He lifts it above his head and calls his name but Shadow Man fires a leg back, getting Derek right in the balls and the Airborne Ranger drops the can on his head. With Derek on his knees holding his wounded pride and head, Shadow Man takes the can and places Derek inside of it and takes the crowbar.

With Derek unable to see, Shadow Man begins to smash Derek all over the trash can with the crowbar. The loud banging of steel clashing echoes as the crowd watches both horrified and excited as Shadow beats Derek harshly. After a dozen hits, Derek cannot see and charges head first at where he thinks Shadow is but instead hits the electrified cage. The Airborne Ranger screams loudly and jumps back from the shock but is stuck in the can and upside down. The People’s Champ spreads Derek’s legs wide and smashes the crowbar against Derek’s balls once more.

Jeremy Piven: He’s not getting any poon any time soon. Hell, even I feel that one!

Joe Aiello: I think every man here can feel that one, Colin. How much more can the Airborne Ranger take before he’s had enough?

Tired of beating his opponent’s manhood into nothingness, Shadow Man flips the can over and pulls Derek out and starts to beat him with the beaten trash can. Derek holds his chest as Shadow Man smashes the trash can repeatedly until it’s completely worthless. He throws it aside and grabs the large cucumber and begins teasing Derek’s mouth with it. The Airborne Ranger rolls over and tries to scurry away but Shadow Man starts to tease Derek’s hind quarters with the large cucumber and then tosses it aside.

Taking the horse shoe, Shadow Man puts it around Derek’s neck and starts to choke him. The Airborne Ranger reaches around violently and tries to get out but the People’s Champion stays behind his opponent and strangles him still. Slowly, the Airborne Ranger starts to pass out. His arms stop trying to defend himself and Shadow Man releases Derek and tosses the horse shoe aside and Shadow goes for a pin…



ONE!...




TWO!...




THR-KICK OUT!

Joe Aiello: Derek is still in this! The Airborne Ranger has not given up yet! We’re going to see a war here soon, I know it!

Jeremy Piven: There is still fight! We’re not going to leave this match any time tonight! The Hardcore Championship is still yet to be decided!

Shadow Man takes a knee and swings his fists over Derek’s head but the Airborne Ranger keeps getting up as the crowd cheers him on. The adrenaline pumps fiercely in Derek’s veins as he starts to stand up to Shadow Man’s fists. The People’s Champ bounces off the ropes and tries to Forearm Smash Derek but Derek catches him and hit an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Shadow is shocked and gets up using the turnbuckle as Derek runs over and hits a Corner Splash.

The Airborne Ranger then mounts Shadow Man and drives his fist several times over Shadow’s head and beats him harshly. After ten strikes, Derek jumps off the turnbuckle with Shadow’s head and hits a Bulldog. As the energy of the crowd flows into Derek, the Airborne Ranger goes to a corner and stomps on the ground, pounding it with his fists as well. The crowd claps for Shadow Man to get up, which he does so slowly and once he turns around, Derek runs at him and Spears and he goes for a pin!




ONE!...




TWO!...



TH-KICK OUT!

Jeremy Piven: That was really close! Shadow Man almost lost this match but how much is left in his engine. Can we see Shadow Man leave here as the EWC Hardcore Champion or will the Airborne Ranger?

Joe Aiello: One of these guys are going to leave her tonight with a huge victory. But neither one of these men are able to get that one last hit in and finish off his opponent.

Derek is pumped up and begins to doing pushups as he waits for Shadow Man to stand up. With Shadow Man on his hands and knees Derek gets up and grabs his opponent but Shadow Man holds onto the ropes and Derek tears his shirt off. With his opponent stunned by the tear of the shirt and the cage shocking him again, Shadow Man picks up another mirror and breaks it over Derek’s face. This time, blood is seen pouring out of his forehead. Shadow Man tosses it aside and takes a sign for a school cross and smashes Derek’s arm. Standing over the Airborne Ranger, Shadow Man smashes an edge constantly into his opponent’s arm, trying to weaken him.

The Airborne Ranger tries to roll away but Shadow Man is too fast and stays over him, driving a point into Derek’s body. The foot of Shadow Man kicks Derek on his back and as he raises the sign up to drive into Derek’s face, The Airborne Ranger feels the crowbar, grabs it and smashes the curve into Shadow Man’s balls. He drops the sign Derek and falls to his knees. Picking up a handicap sign, Derek smashes it into Shadow Man’s face and warps the sign. He tosses it aside, grabs Shadow Man and lifts him up into Chokeslam then hits slams him chest first onto the broken shards of mirror.

Shadow Man yells loudly holding his chest as blood starts to drip out. Grabbing the whip, Shadow Man smacks it as hard as he can into Derek’s chest, instantly drawing blood on his opponent’s chest. The Airborne Ranger yells loudly, grabs the riding crop and counters by striking Shadow’s chest and making his wounds bigger. Eventually, Derek breaks his cord and hits an Inside Package on Shadow Man and holds for a pin!...




ONE!...




TWO!...




THRE-KICK OUT!

Joe Aiello: That was way too close for comfort! Shadow Man better get his head back into his game if he’s going to win this and take the Hardcore Championship back hoem with here.

Jeremy Piven: I really don’t want to see Shadow Man’s reign end but in this case, I think we might have to accept that fact… just not yet. He’ll continue in this match until he’s dead and all limbs are severed but even then he’s just going to continue.

Derek reaches out to grab the ropes but ends up electrifying himself again while Shadow Man manages to recover without grabbing the age. He stands up and grabs Derek after driving a knee into Derek’s face, pushing into the cage and electrifying him again. Gabbing ahold of Derek, he tries to hit a Powerbomb but Derek manages to wiggle free and manage to strike back Michael, he attemtps a Side Russian Leg Sweet but Shadow Man counters with a Russian Leg Sweep of his own. However the Airborne Ranger throws himself forward and Derek manages to finally bust Shadow Man open as he face plants a some of the broken pieces of vase.

Derek recovers slowly at the same time Shadow Man but the Shadow Man strikes Derek first with a fierce knee to his opponents face. The blood on Derek’s face splatters on the canvas as Shadow hits a Dropkick on his opponent. He picks him up and tries to hit a T-Bone Suplex but Derek blocks it, he goes behind his opponent and tries to hit a German Suplex but Shadow Man backflips out of Derek’s attack.

Running up to his opponent, Shadow locks his leg around Derek and knocks him down with a Russian Legsweep. The Airborne Ranger goes down but he tries getting up and the crowd cheers loudly chanting for him to stand up. Shadow Man signals for the Darkness and he stalks Derek he tries to stand up. Derek Wellings gets up and manages to turn around and gets hit with a knee to the gut and is lifted up into Darkness but as Shadow Man lifts him up the crowd invigorates Derek and causes him to wiggles loose and before Shadow can react, Derek hits his opponent with a Toe Kick and is hit with the Advanced Training! With Shadow Man down, Derek gets on on knee and tries to pick him up however Shadow Man pulls his opponent's tights and causes Derek to dive head towards the cage door.

Derek hits the cage door and with great force behind him, the door breaks off its hinges and Derek falls out of the ring and lands hard on the outside mats. Shadow Man looks up to see the door open and begins crawling as fast as he can. Getting his energy back, Derek lays on his back as fans cheer them on taking turns chanting "DEREK" and "SHADOW". The People's Champ takes few minutes to crawl out of the cage and the Airborne Ranger begins to stir. The fans get louder and louder as both men struggle to get on their feet. Shadow Man is the first on up, he grabs the stairs and lifts them up while Derek gets to his feet. He turns around and is smashed with it. With Derek down again, Shadow Man lifts it high and smashes it four times on Derek's ribs and tosses it down. Derek starts to walk over to the cage door and begins trying to break the lock.

The Airborne Ranger forces himself to get up as Shadow Man manages pick one lock. He struggles with a second lock. The Airborne Ranger backs up as far as he can, he runs at Shadow as fast as he can and whistles loudly. The People's Champ turns around and The Airborne Ranger jumps up on the stairs and hits a Diving Spear on Shadow Man! He hits with such force, THE DOOR BREAKS OPEN! Derek and Shadow spill out and hit the ground together and are completely wasted from their match due to their excessive bleed over their faces, backs and chests. The referees start talking about what happened. The crowd isn't sure who won and everyone starts chanting for their favorite star, Derek Wellings and Shadow Man.

The Hell in a Cell starts to raise up as EMTs rush down and check on both Derek and Shadow Man. The live cage is shut down and also raised up as Jessica Stroup talks with a referee. The Hardcore Championship is then given to another referee who in turn puts one end in Derek's hand and the other in Shadow's hand.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, the referees have determined that both men escaped the cage at the same time and therefore they both won this match. So by referee's rulings, here are your winners by escaping the cage, “The Airborne Ranger” DEREK WELLINGS! and the "Hardcore Legendl" SHADOW MAN!

Joe Aiello: I don't believe this! For the second time in EWC History and the second time in the Hardcore Championships History, we have two men to win the Hardcore Championship at the same time and the referees have decided this is a double victory!? Shadow Man and Derek Wellings have both successfully won the Hardcore Championship tonight!

Jeremy Piven: I'm at a completely loss of words! Shadow Man and Derek Wellings are going to have to work together until another event. I'm at a complete loss of words for the first time in my life. An EWC Original and EWC Rookie have won the Hardcore Championship at the same time. It's especially at the biggest event in wrestling today. Folks, don't go any where, we have one more match coming up.

Winners: Derek Wellings & Shadow Man

The EMT's put Shadow Man and Derek on stretches and with the Hardcore Champions in their hands, they are carried out of the arena.

DAMIEN KINGSTON Vs RUTHLESS AGGRESSION

A Hell in a Cell cage wrapped in barbed-wire, with two garbage cans filled with weapons handcuffed to two turnbuckles of the ring.

If the kids haven’t gone to bed yet, it’s best to send them to bed now! Because these two are going to nearly KILL each other for the right to be EWC Champion.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is the final match of the evening and is your MAIN EVENT! This will be for the EWC Championship and it is a Rage in the Cage match! In this match, a Hell in a Cell will be lowered over the cage with two garbage cans filled with weapons put inside. The only way to win will be by climbing a ladder get the key to the cage, unlocking the door and leaving. Introducing first…

The arena was anything but quiet. Thousands of fans were in attendance. All of which were on the edge of their seats waiting for the next bit of action to take place. About that time the arena lights found themselves dimming down a bit. Just as a guitar riff to kick off "World Divided" by Downstait could be heard hitting the speakers inside the arena. Right away the fans were able to put two and two together. Lots of mixed reactions could be heard. It was like the fans were split right down the middle. Cheers and Boos could be heard clear as day.

After a few more seconds the curtain could be seen being pushed aside. Stepping out through the curtain at that particular moment was none other than the man himself. He was commonly referred to as the "Man of Liberty" Damien Kingston. Kingston had his zip up hoodie on and the hood was up covering his face. As he made his way to the center of the ramp. Dropping down to his knees with a bit of a smirk spread across his face. He nodded his head to the music a bit before reaching up and pulling the hood back. As he did that Kingston tilted his head backwards and stretched his arms out to either side of him.

He looked right up at the sky with that smirk seemingly growing. The fans seemed to still be torn. The boos got louder at the same time the cheers got louder. He was only in that position for a couple of seconds. Kingston pushed himself up to his feet and grabbed a hold of the front of his jacket starting unzip in while talking down to the ring with an attitude in each step he made.

Jessica Stroup: All the way from New York City, New York. Standing 6’1” and weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds, “The Man of Liberty” DAMIEN KINGSTON!"

Kingston was already approaching the ringside area. That smirk still featured across his very lips. He took his hoodie off his body and just laid it there in the corner of the ring before he grabbed one of the ring ropes pulling himself up on the apron. He turned his back towards the ropes and looked out over the crowd with that smirk. Nodding his head at their reactions. Not seeming to care which way they went. They could boo him, he thrived off hate. They could cheer him, it gave him that extra boost. Soon enough he turned himself around on the apron to face the ring.

He placed one leg over the middle rope and then ducked down getting into the ring. Upon being inside the ring Kingston went to the nearest turnbuckle he could find. Getting to the second turnbuckle. He peered out over the mixed crowd. Before he proceeded to raise his hands into the air and then sticking them out to the side followed by lifting his head back. Literally the same exact taunt that he had done before on the ramp. Not much had changed with their reaction. After a few seconds Kingston leaped down from the turnbuckle as he music started to fade. He faced the middle of the ring waiting for the next course of action to take place.

Joe Aiello: “The Man of Liberty” Damien Kingston has earned his right to be here at the main event of Stranglemania. He is one of the few men to have earned the right to wrestle in the main event. He might have lost to Kurt Newman a few weeks but since that loss, Damien has got his mind back to where he needs to be. Could this man be one of the few elite men who won the EWC Championship at Stranglemania?

Jeremy Piven: Are you kidding me? We all know that Damien Kingston is going to walk out of Stranglemania X as the EWC Champion. It’s almost as if his opponent shouldn’t have even bothered showing up. That’s how over this match is in my mind.

Jessica Stroup: His opponent, standing 5’8”, weighing in at 138 lbs from New York City, New York. She is RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!

Du du du du-du du du
Du du du du du-du du du

The crowd start to chant that part of the song out loud. As the lights goes out as Fall Out Boy Centuries came blasting on. They look up at the ramp standing there with a smoke surround her was Ruthless Aggression with her head down. She lift up her head as she have on a long black trench coat that fit to her body. As she walking down the ramp it a has "EWC 4 Life" written across it with a picture of basebat ball on under it in blue and red colors. She smirks as she stop in the middle of the middle ramp looking around taking in the crowd. She closed her eyes as the words came blasting over the speakers.

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take.
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey, hey, hey
Remember me for centuries

She then threw her fist up in the air as she just stood there with a sick grin on her face. She walks towards the steps. She climb inside of the ring and jump up on to the turnbuckle as she sing the chorus with them.

Du du du du-du du du
Du du du du du-du du du

She then jump down and turn around facing the person taking off the trench coat. She hand it to the person on the outside ready to fight.

Both Ruthless Aggression and Damien Kingston go to the center of the ring and have an intense stare down as the referee starts to explain the rules to them.

Jeremy Piven: This match is as good as officially OVER. There’s no way that the much smaller and much weaker Ruthless Aggression can actually win this match. I’m to order a pizza and enjoy it, you want anything from the kids meal?

Joe Aiello: It’s not over until the fat lady sings and there is no fat lady singing yet. And before you crack a weight joke, I really don’t see any fat on Ruthless Aggression. If anything, I think both have lost a little bit of weight in preparation for this match. Ruthless Aggression is the first woman to main event Stranglemania. Will she be the first woman to win the EWC Championship? Well we’re about to find out!

The fans start chanting “EWC! EWC! EWC!” as the two biggest stars in EWC stare each other down. They lock up in the middle of the ring and Ruthless Aggression gets the upper hand as she gets behind Damien and trips him onto the mat. Quickly, Damien gets to all four and Ruthless spins around Damien and drives her knees into his ribs, shoulders and legs as she spins around weakening her opponent. However as she moves behind him a second time, Damien manages to get into a sitting position.

Using his superior size, Damien breaks her grasp and pulls her hands apart and then pulls Ruthless over his shoulders in front of him. She turns around and is hit with a Corkscrew Neckbreaker, but Ruth rolls onto her stomach before Damien can try a cover. The Man of Liberty tries an Arm-Trap Crossface but the Queen of Hardcore slips out and the two get to a standing position and Ruth hits a hammerlock. Damien resists and grabs Ruthless’s hair with his free hand and then hits her with a Hip Toss Neckbreaker. She recovers quickly and bounces off the rope, and hits Damien with a Shoulder Tackle, Damien rolls over as Ruth bounces another rope and she goes for a Flying Cross Body but Kingston catches her and lifts her over his head and hits Spike Piledriver. He tries again for a cover but Ruth turns his pin attempt into an Inside Package but doesn’t get a one count on him.

Joe Aiello: Some great fundamentals from both these young stars.

Jeremy Piven: But we also are seeing some great professional skills from them as well, Joey.

The fans are restless and cheer on both in the ring as they get back up. Ruth is on her feet first as she leap frogs over Damien and hits the ropes then comes back and hits Lariat on Demien taking him down. Again, the Queen of Hardcore bounces off the ropes and hits a leg drop over her opponent’s neck. Looking to the trash can filled with weapons, Ruth looks inside but Damien quickly recovers and runs hard into her back and sandwiches with the trash can. The Man of Liberty backs away from his opponent and lets her stumble back. Then follows up with a One Handed Bulldog and keeps her down.

The Queen of Hardcore is stunned and slowly makes her way onto her feet however Damien is waiting as she stands up. Ruth turns around and is hit with a Spinning Back Fist causing Ruth to land on the ropes. Damien backs up and clotheslines her over the top rope. Ruthless Aggression lands on her feet and stumbles back onto the razor wired Hell in a Cell. The crowd goes crazy as Damien Kingston runs off the ropes and hits a Suicide Dive on Ruthless Aggression. The crowd starts to chance “THIS MATCH RULES!”

Joe Aiello: These people are going crazy! This night hasn’t slowed down at any point and has only gotten better and better.

Jeremy Piven: They’re not going to leave here all riled up either. They’re going to be excited and demanding more as this match continues. We will finally see the first EWC Champion crowed tonight!

Damien Kingston stands up as the fans start chanting “LIB-ER-TY!” and he taunts Ruth.as he starts to get onto his feet. Seeing Ruth getting up, Damien looks underneath the ring and finds a steel chair. He lifts the chair up high to strike Ruth, but she counters with a stiff uppercut and strikes his jaw. Kingston drops the chair but Aggression picks it up and smashes her opponent with it. He stumbles back and is hit with the chair again. Then a third time before he finally goes down to his hands and knees.

Jeremy Piven: What is she doing?

As he takes a knee and tries to recover, the Queen of Hardcore gets on the ring side then up the turnbuckle. She stands up and taunts her opponent and as he stands up, she goes for a Hurricarana and Damien Kingston catches her! She starts driving her fist into Damien’s face and successfully hits the Hurricarana and throws him into the razor wire Cell. The razor wire cuts his hands and he quickly gets off.

Joe Aiello: Wow, this match is getting very violent and very quickly.

Damien checks his cuts and sees they’re not too bad and Ruth begins to pull Damien back to his feet but the Man of Liberty responds with several gut shots and gets back on toh is feet. He grabs her arm and delivers several kicks to the join trying to hurt her arm more. Then slams his elbow on her shoulder, then takes a knee crushing her shoulder on his knee and elbow before tossing Ruthless onto the ring’s edge. He rubs his elbow across his opponent’s face and then tosses her back into the ring.

Before he gets up on ring edge, Damien gives a loud call out getting a response from the crowd. They call back as he gets onto ring side and as Ruthless Aggression stands up, Damien Kingston gets on to the ring ropes and jumps off with a Diving Lariat and takes her out. With Ruth on the ground, Damien pulls out a nightstick and begins to smash Ruth over her body repeatedly.[/i]

Joe Aiello: There’s a lot of on the line here and Damien Kingston wants to ensure he’s the one who comes out on top.

Jeremy Piven: But as long as the undefeated Ruthless Aggression is still moving, she’s not going to let Damien Kingston win this match.

He tosses the nightstick aside and applies a Reverse Arm Bar, forcing his opponent to scream loudly. Damien increases the pressure but it only succeeds in filling Ruthless with anger and energy from the crowd flows to her. She starts standing up and manages to push Damien into the ropes and rushes him with a knee in her opponent’s gut. She tosses him to the other side of the ring, bounces off the ropes and is hit with another knee in the guy by the Queen of Hardcore.

She remains in control and delivers several kicks to her opponent’s rib cage, trying ot break him down more. Ruth then starts targeting her opponents arm by driving both knees into his shoulders and applies a Reverse Arm Bar of her own. However she doesn’t keep it locked in and instead switches to his other arm and hits a second Reverse Arm Bar. Once more, she releases it early and pulls her opponent up and remains behind him and kicks out one of his knees, forcing Damien down. Ruthless then spins around and delivers another kick to her opponents face and another kick between his shoulder blades. Driving her heels into her opponent’s back, she pivots around then drives her knees into her opponent’s shoulders causing Damien to scream loudly.

The Queen of Hardcore alternates knees being driven into her opponent. The fans start cheering “SHE’S HARDCORE!” as tries breaking him down more and more. However Damien doesn’t give up the fight and starts to stand up but hit with a Haymaker knocking Damein into the corner with the weapons. Kingston bashes his head against the trash can but reaches up and takes the lid and charges out and smashes Ruth’s face into the trash can.

Joe Aiello: Vicious attack by Damien Kingston with that trashcan lid. Even if Ruthless Aggression is a much smaller opponent, all those vicious attacks from her must be taking their toll.

Jeremy Piven: You might be right but I think you’re wrong. Damien Kingston doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. He’s fighting with everything he can in the main event at Stranglemania X and he wants to be the winner. Only one of these two can be declared the EWC Championship.

Joe Aiello: There is simply too much on the line. Both of these two have worked their asses off and their fingers to the bone to get here tonight. We’re going to see who gets to leave Stranglemania X as the Extreme Wrestling Corporation Champion.

Back in the ring, Damien keeps the pressure up by driving a corner of the trashcan into Ruth’s face. He tosses it aside, pulls her up and hit her with a Tiger Suplex. But he doesn’t release his hold, he keeps his opponent locked in and hits a second Tiger Suplex and again he doesn’t let up, he spins around her and hits a German Suplex on the trashcan lid using before he tosses Ruthless Aggression into the trashcan. She holds onto it but one hand reaches inside and grabs ahold of something.

Damien grabs her long her and pulls her viciously back and as she falls back, she smashes a No Parking sign into Damien’s face. He falls back and holds his face, checking for bleeding. She gets up slowly but Damien looks up, sees her coming and kicks Ruth in the face hard, The Man of Liberty gets up, looks in the trashcan, grabs a barbed wire baseball bat and begins smashing all over Ruth’s body. She yells loudly as Damien tries breaking her body down as she did to him. The sharp barbs tear away Ruth’s back and sides, breaking her skin and cause her to bleed. Tossing the bat aside, Damien hits a One Legged Boston Leg Crab and pulls back as far as he can.

Ruthless Aggression screams, smashing her fists onto the canvas. However there is not tapping out for this match. Instead she attempts to overpower Damien Kingston and starts pushing up and stiffening her leg. But Damien Kingston doesn’t let go easily, he lifts her leg high and smashes her knee against the canvas. Walking around Ruthless Aggression, Damien takes his time and kicks he a few times and he leaves the ring, grabbing the ladder from under the ring and tosses it in

Jeremy Piven: Business is going to pick up now! Damien Kingston has that ladder and is throwing it into the ring.

Joe Aiello: The people are excited and they’re going to explode at any time! Damien Kingston has finally retrieved that ladder and is looking to win the match and go home with EWC Championship.

”LIB-ER-TY!” is being chanted in the crowd and Damien gets into the ring. However Ruthless Aggression has the baseball in her hand and as Damien picks up the ladder, she smashes him over the back. Now it’s his turn to suffer a little and the Queen of Hardcore drags the barbs over her opponents back. She tosses the bat aside and hits a Bulldog on Damien, smashing his face into ladder. He bounces off the ladder and has a bloody nose from the impact.

Not letting up, Ruth drops an elbow over her opponent’s face and begins punching his face as fast and as hard as she can. Damien stops blocking and lets Ruthless pull her up hit a Inverted Swinging Neckbreaker. The fans cheer as both are pained from hitting the steel ladder. Both fight through the pain and Ruth recovers first, kneeing her opponent in his gut, tosses him into the ropes and hits a Back Kick, stunning her opponent. Moving quickly, Ruthless attempts to pick up her opponent in a Death Valley Driver but Damien fights back.

He throws several elbows into his opponent’s face, forcing her to drop the Man of Liberty. Damien tosses Ruthless into the ropes and tries to hit a Roaring Elbow but misses as Aggression ducks the attack, bounces off the ropes and hits Damien with a Double Arm DDT right on the ladder! She pulls him over and exposes the Man of Liberty in a crimson mask! The fans cheer loudly with “SHE’S HARD-CORE!”

Joe Aiello: That’s it! Ruthless Aggression has busted Damien Kingston over! This match has to be close to ending now. How much longer, how much more pain can he endure?

Jeremy Piven: Are you kidding me?! Damien will go until he bleeds to death! There is absolutely nothing he’d do to win the EWC Championship. We’ll stick with this match all night if we need. The privilege of becoming the EWC Champion is simply too great to lose so easily.

With one of her opponents arms locked, Ruth attempts to break his arm by pushing his elbow behind his back. Damien Kingston reaches around for a weapon and feels the nightstick from earlier. With it in his hand, he swings and hits Ruth in her face. She releases the hold and Damien forces Ruthless Aggression on her back. With his knee pinning her down, Damien sits on her bosom, and starts punching her with his left fist while striking her arms, neck and head with the night stick.

After several blows of the night stick, it breaks as he comes down hard. The wood slashes her forehead and nose causing blood to drip down her face too. Releasing his pinned opponent, Damien reaches into the trash can and pulls out a tazer. Smiling widely, he tests it to see that it is working and begins to taze Ruthless Aggression.

Jeremy Piven: Dear God, first we see the Man of Liberty trying to make love to his chesty opponent’s chest in the match THEN he breaks a nightstick on her THEN we get to see him taze the HELL out of her too. Haven’t people been arrested or put on Jackass for stuff like this, Joey?

Joe Aiello: Yeah, the late Ryan Dunn tazed his testicles in a movie, but breaking a nightstick on a person’s head have landed some people in jail. That’s what we’re seeing now. We’re not watching a wrestling match any more; we’re watching a violent mugging. But these fans don’t see a difference, I don’t see one and I know you certainly don’t either.

With the tazer tossed aside, Damien leans over and slaps Ruthless Aggression several times. He yells at her but releases her and picks up the ladder and begins to set it up. Ruthless Aggression starts to recover, and moving around the ladder, she tackles her opponent and smashes him into a trashcan filled with weapons. He yells loudly and attempts to hit a Merry Go Round but Damien back body drops her into the trashcan herself.

He ignores her and starts to climb the ladder slowly as the match and blood loss starts to get to him. Ruthless Aggression stumbles around and lands in front of the tazer. She grabs the weapon, and tests it to see it still has power. Damien nears the middle of the ladder and reaches up for the key. Ruth turns on the tazer and gets him between the his legs and shocks his testicles. Damien falls off and lands on top of Ruth, knocking the tazer out of her hand.

Joe Aiello: I called it earlier. I did not mean to give her that idea. This match has been beyond brutal and I’m pretty sure people HAVE been arrested for less. We’re seeing the most violent match of the night with “The Queen of Hardcore” Ruthless Aggression and “The Man of Liberty” Damien Kingston.

Jeremy Piven: These people are getting their money’s worth and so are home viewers. The match is now in anyone’s favor, only one will get up to the top of that ladder and get the key. But who will it be?

The two crawl away from one another, and Ruth is fist to reach the ladder. She leans on it as blood pour down her face and Damien starts to climb too. Twin trails of blood lead to he ladder and turn the once white canvas to blood red and as they get higher, the trail follows up the steps the ladder. Both reach the top at the same time and start punching one another.

Ruthless Aggression and Damien Kingston fight back and forth the top of the ladder. Each one hitting harder however Ruth hits a Headbutt on her opponent. Damien leans back and Ruthless lifts her leg up and delivers a stiff kick to her opponent’s face and finally pushes him off the of the ladder and onto the canvas. He bounces hard on the canvas and rolls out of the ring while Ruth manages to grab the key from the top of the age and takes it off the hook.

The crowd cheers loudly and she jumps off the ladder onto the mat and rolls out. The Man of Liberty is barely moving and Ruth moves over her opponent and uses the key to get the first lock off the cage. She then moves to the second lock and it too comes off and opens the door, collapsing on the outside. The referee calls for the bell as the crowd explodes with “SHE’S HARDCORE!” as balloons and confetti falls from above as “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy plays and she is given the EWC Championship.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner and NEW EWC Champion! RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!

Jeremy Piven: History has been made! This is a first for the EWC Championship and I know there have to be people who do not believe this!

Joe Aiello: Ruthless Aggression has become one of the few people to ever win the EWC Championship society and has become the first WOMAN to win the championship! That has been a great and historic night! Ladies and gentlemen, here is your NEW EWC CHAMPION, RUTHLESS AGGRESSION!

Jeremy Piven: We enter a new age here in Extreme Wrestling Corporation. Folks, I’m Jeremy Piven and on behalf of Joe Aiello, good night!

Ruthless Aggression stands up at the top of the ramp as referee’s help up a bloody Damien Kingston. With blood running down her face, she holds the EWC Championship high above her head as the show ends and fireworks go off behind her.
