As the camera pans around the arena once more, it finally comes to a stop at the announcer's booth where Aiello, Bennett and Carter are shown smiling.
The show is live... and the excitement is at a fever pitch!
The show is live... and the excitement is at a fever pitch!
Aiello: Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are so excited to be here, and the fans are as loud as ever. Man do we have a great show for you all tonight
Suddenly the fans stand up and cheer as the feed switches to the entrance area! Walking out from backstage is Ashton Drake! Upon seeing him, the entire arena lights up as the newly crowed International Champion looks out into the sea of fans, the title belt secured around his waist! With his theme song playing full blast, he nods his head and heads towards the ring!
Aiello: Folks, Monday Night Brawl is here… and right away we are out to an amazing start! There he is, the freshly crowned International Champion.. Ashton Drake! He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the hottest name in the industry! Not because of his impressive win streak, but because of how he has rallied the fans behind his cause!
Bennett: I have to admit, this kid is impressive. He has faced the biggest names in the sport since he has arrived, and overcome the odds each time! His win against Savage at Night of Champions will be talked about for years to come. We are looking at the future of the EWC right there. He is the Vengeful One.. and he is the number one contender for the EWC Undisputed Championship. That’s a hell of a resume.
Aiello: When I see Drake, I think about the names in the EWC’s storied past. Drake handles business like the greats of the ring once did. He has a huge future in store for him. Let’s look to ringside and hear what he has to say.
The fans continue to cheer as Drake stands in the center of the ring. He smiles, causing the fans to cheer loudly! Accepting a microphone, Drake nods his head as the fans chant: YOU DESERVE THIS…. YOU DESERVE THIS… YOU DESERVE THIS….
Drake smiles and shakes his head, caught off guard by the fans appreciation. Motioning for them to calm down, Drake attempts to speak.
Drake: Well… we did it. We won the International Championship and made Tony savage tap out. GET YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR AND CELEBRATE!!!!
The arena explodes as Drake paces the ring, removing the strap from his waist and raising it over his head!!! After a few circles, he droops it over his shoulder and speaks.
Drake: Rumble in the Bronx is upon us. Now, at first, I knew that I couldn’t be in that match. Defending this championship is my top priority. To defend this strap and then get into the ring against the entire EWC locker room… it’s a daunting task. Plus, I am sure that the front office is already having enough headaches, trying to explain how a guy like me has made it to the top this damn fast.
The fans scream chant: TAKE DOWN XPLODE!!! TAKE DOWN XPLODE!!!
Drake: Wait… wait.. wait. Let’s stop for a second, and appreciate what we have right now. Yes, I want a shot just like everyone else at taking down Xplode. Don’t get me wrong. Let’s be real here though. President Mac is never going to grant that match. His board of directors would shit bricks over that. No, the EWC is better off with putting cash cows into the ring like Nurse Kinsley… who are pretty much broken ponies.. against Xplode. I represent all of you.. .the blue collar, hard working man in the industry. We all know that they will keep X far away from me simply because… I can beat him. So let’s move on. As a matter of fact, I think-
Xplode suddenly emerges from the backstage area and appears on the stage! The fans begin to boo as Xplode speaks.
X: Slow down there, kid. I mean, I appreciate a feel good story just like everyone else here.. but you are taking it a bit far, don’t you think? You should be thanking the front office for slapping that toy belt over our shoulder, instead of asking for them to bury you.. and trust me.. that’s what would happen if you ever stepped into the ring with me.
Xplode continues to head towards the ring as the boos continue. He steps into the ring as Drake watches him, an amused look upon Drake’s face.
X: For the last few weeks, I have allowed you to stand in my ring and run your mouth. It was comical at first. Now, it’s just getting stale. Pick up your toy belt and get out of here, and let the big boys conduct business.
Drake: Big boys? Okay, X. I will bite. Big boys, huh? How long have all of us had to endure your tired segments.. each and every week? You come out here, and stand in front of these fans, only to tell everyone the same.. boring script about how you are the greatest of all time, and that you are the Destroyer of Worlds.. and that no one can beat you… ever.. .even if they bring a tank.
X: Tank? Okay.. I can agree with that. What’s your point?
Drake steps right up to X and both men look into the eyes of each other, their respective title belts in plain sight.
Drake: I am not afraid of you, X. It’s time for a change. You see, while you have been busy beating gimmicks in this ring, I have been putting in the work. Without a shadow of a doubt, you are the greatest to ever step into this ring… but I am the future. Sooner or later, you will have to face me. You will have to step into this ring and put that strap on the line. Make no mistake about it too. I am not Nurse Kinsley. I don’t rely on gimmicks to get over. When you go to war with me, be ready to do battle. I am coming for that strap.
The fans cheer as Xplode smirks.
Xplode: Impressive. I mean, even I have to admit that you sure have a way with these idiots in those stands. They look at you like you are their savior… but you simply are not. Time and time again, I have defended this strap against men and women, just like you, who have claimed to have the key to beating me. You are no different than they were. Well, I take that back. They had a title shot.. and you don’t. So until you do, show a little respect for the man who made it possible for you to earn a paycheck. That man.. is me.
Drake smiles as X starts to walk away.
Drake: Hey Champ?
X stops and turns to look at Drake. He then walks back towards him.
Drake: Mark my words. Before you retire… I will face you, right here in this ring. On that day, I will do what countless others have attempted before me… and I will defeat you. I will do that, because I am the best. I am here to set the EWC free. You are the Destroyer of Worlds… I get that. We ALL get that. Tonight.. you have just me the Vengeful One.
The fans scream in delight as Drake raises his championship above his head. Xplode laughs as he raises his.
X: We will see.
The fans cheer as both men remain in the ring!
Aiello: I am speechless…
Bennett: This is what the people want to see, these two in the ring. President Mac sent out a cryptic tweet earlier today in response to a fan begging for this booking, and all he said was 'Soon'. So you have to think the front office knows what the fans want and deserve.
Carter: We'll be back after these messages from EWCTV

LATOYA HIXX
Vs EMMA LOUISE
Vs EMMA LOUISE
Aiello: Welcome back friends ... well that was one hell of a way to start off the show, the crowd is still buzzing and twitter is on fire as #AshtonDrake #Xplode and #BRAWLCharlotte are all trending right now. Speaking of trending, lets get to our first match
Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall… Boston Massachusetts, weighing in at 114 pounds… The First Lady of Hardcore… Latoya Hixx!!!
She comes out in her bling coat in wears her white Sunglasses in poses on the stage in walks down in hops on the ropes and shows her Boss Brass Knuckles in get's in the ring in takes off her gear in waits for her Opponent.
Jessica Stroup: And her opponent from New York City, weighing at several pounds of girly goodness… The Ever powerful and Always Dangerous… Emma Louise!!!
"This Little Girl" by Cady Groves plays and Emma steps through the curtain. Blows a kiss to the crowd a la Maria and then walks, half dancing to the ring where she slips feet first through the ropes like an envelope before laying suggestively over the top rope
DING! DING! DING!
Aiello: We’ve got a good one to start things off here, Hixx while she may be on a bit of a losing streak is always a tough go, and Emma well they don’t call her always dangerous for nothing.
Bennett: Son… Of… A… Bitch! Two beautiful bombshells about to take it to the extreme, I can’t wait to see this one.
Carter: You’ve got that right, We’ve got two women here who are trying to make a statement to the EWC, that they are not going to lay down for anyone, they both want to make it in this business, lets just see who wants it more.
The match starts as Emma bounces off the ropes, but holds onto them in a bit of a psych out moment as Latoya was ready to catch her when she approached. Emma just smiles as the two of them circle each other in the ring, Emma goes to tie up but Latoya sees it coming and answers with a kick to the midsection! Latoya immediately looks for a piledriver but Emma reverses it and tosses Latoya over her head sending Hixx crashing down on the matt, but she is up quickly as the two turn and this time the tie up and Emma quickly sends Hixx into the ropes but Emma hits the mat and Hixx hops over, Latoya bounces off the other rope and Emma leap frogs her and when Latoya comes back again Emma hits a perfect dropkick to the face of Hixx sending her crashing down to the mat as the crowd pops for the beautifully placed drop kick! Emma gets to her feet wasting no time as she pulls Hixx to her feet, but before she can do anything Hixx hits three elbows to the midsection getting Emma off of her getting some space between the two, Hixx tries to get her barrings as she turns around to Emma looking for a clothsline but Hixx ducks it matrix style! She springs back to her feet and curls up Emma in a school girl pin!

She grabs the tights for leverage!
.
.
.
.THRE— OHHHH!!!
Carter: OHHH, and Emma barely escaped that one!
Aiello: Hixx thought she had it as soon as she grabbed the tights and almost did… Hell I thought she had that early win!
Bennett: Can’t blame her for trying that move, you gotta do whatever it takes to win!
Emma jumps back to her feet clearly irritated as she gets in the refs face, shouting that Hixx had her tights for leverage, but before the ref can say anything, Hixx runs at Emma looking for a flying leg lariat and Emma moves out of the way and she nails the REF!!! The ref goes flying over the top rope to the floor below!
Bennett: Whoops!
Aiello: We are only a few minutes into this match and there is no ref!
Carter: This one could get nasty with the Queen of Hardcore in there.
Emma is furious that Hixx took out the ref and ties up with Hixx! She backs her into the corner, grabbing a handful of her hair and bashing her face down into the turnbuckle over and over again as the crowd counts along! She then grabs her and sends her through the ropes to the outside!
Carter: I don’t know if this was a good idea… outside the ring is Hixx’s playground, and there is no ref to keep her in line.
As Emma follows her outside Hixx crawling on all fours slips her hand under the ring apron, as Emma follows in pursuit, She grabs Hixx by her hair turning her around, and before she can do anything… she NAILS Emma with a vicious uppercut!
Aiello: Are those?
Carter: Brass Knuckles… Yup she must have had them stashed under the ring just in case…
Bennett: Bravo… Bravo…
Emma is laid out cold, not moving at all as Hixx gets to her feet. She takes the brass knuckles and slides them into her tights as she slowly picks up the limp body of Emma Louise, shoving her under the bottom rope, rolling her into the ring. Once in the ring, she drags Emma’s limp body to the middle of the ring and hooks the leg, as Emma coils up completely unconscious… But there is no ref!!! Latoya slaps the mat three times, screaming “come on!”
Carter: Well this was her doing… she is the reason there is no ref in the ring.
Latoya again slaps the ring three times, but no ref there to make the count and Emma is motionless. Suddenly a new ref comes running down the ramp way sliding in the ring! The crowd counts along!
ONE!
.
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
.
THRE-- OOOHHHHH!!! EMMMA KICKS OUT!!!
Bennett: How the hell did she pull that off???
Latoya screams in frustration, as Emma lays on her side. The ref gives the signal of a two count, as Latoya looks up at him telling him it was a three, but he insists it was two. So the match continues. Emma barely moving as Latoya picks her up… Latoya signals for her finisher, as she spins Emma around who can barely stand and she hits the DOUBLE KNEE BACK BREAKER!!!
Bennett: Okay! This one is over now! Hixx is gonna get off that losing streak!
Carter: Hixx with the cover!
ONE!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
.
FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! The ref calls for the break!
Hixx can’t believe it!!! She thought she had it won again, as Emma looks to be totally out of it.
Aiello: Look at Emma, I don’t think she even knows where she is right now…
Hixx angry gets up and screams in the refs face, but the ref screams right back at her. No one notices Emma using the ropes to pull herself up… Hixx shoves the ref and the ref shoves her back and she stumbles turning around right into Emma who instinctively locks in HLA!!!
The crowd ERUPTS!!!
Bennett: Son of a bitch I don’t believe it…
Aiello: She has it locked in like a vice, Latoya isn’t going anywhere!
Carter: And they are in the middle of the ring!
Slowly as much as Hixx fights it they both start to fall to their knees. Louise out of exhaustion, Hixx because she is fading.
Aiello: That is locked in tight, Emma might not have much fight left, but that front face sleeper is not coming off!
The ref checks Latoya, who looks to be completely out of it. So he lifts her hand once and it falls… He checks her again and her arm falls a second time… he checks her one more time…
.
.
.
.
.
And it falls a THIRD TIME!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Aiello: This one is over!
Emma collapses backwards totally spent but she won the match!
Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner… Emma Louise!!!
Aiello: That was complete desperation there…
Carter: You have to believe if she hadn’t shoved the ref, that never would have happened, she shot herself in the foot and cost herself the match.
Bennett: What a hell of a match!
Emma slowly pulls herself to her feet, as the ref raises her hand in victory as her music plays. She holds her head, as she exits the ring.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
RINGSIDE
The Paraguayan stood in the center of the ring, her husband at her side, her arms folded over her chest as she scowled. Their music died down and she motioned for someone to toss her a microphone. As she caught it, she began pacing the ring, making two laps, before chuckling on the mic.
Jessica: Monday Night Brawl! I got something to say!
Crowd: Go back to Rampage!
Jessica: That’s cute. As I was saying, I’ve got something I need to get off my chest. I’m a little…confused. Yeah, confused. You see, last week, my husband and I made our tag team debut here in EWC. We were victorious, of course, as all of you know.
Crowd: You suck! You suck! You suck!
Jessica: Oh hush, bottom feeders. Lucius and I did the damn thing, with our hands tied behind our backs, not knowing who our opponents would be. We defeated former number one contenders for EWC tag team titles. I guaranteed victory, and we delivered. So, that in mind, this went down on Friday night. Now, imagine my surprise when I’m watching Future Stars of Wrestling on Sunday night, and I see none other than the same pair we smacked off, with spares, in the ring, and one of them that Jezzabel, declares herself the most dominant female in sports entertainment.
Crowd: She tapped out! She tapped out! She tapped out!
Jessica: That’s right. Not only did we win, but I made that chick tap out after laying her and that Emperor Kuzco looking bum out with the Paraguayan Destroyer. Let that sink in. I made you tap out. I made you admit I was better than you. Which is where my confusion comes in. I’m confused, that you would run to FSW, proclaim yourself to be the most dominant woman in the business today.
Crowd: She tapped out! She tapped out! She tapped out!
The Paraguayan lowered her mic, pacing as her husband stood quietly. Jessica then stopped and removed her shades, her eyes blazing.
Jessica: Understand something, Jacobs. Dominance is an action, not a name. To that end, I’m calling you out for more action. I’m challenging you to a Submission Match! I’m going to make you tap out again, and expose you as the loser you truly are.
Jessica dropped the mic, and looked around the arena now, scowling again.
NON TITLE MATCH
POLLY POCKET
Vs ASHTON DRAKE
Vs ASHTON DRAKE
Jessica Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for a one fall!
43 seconds into Aqua's "Barbie Girl Orchestra Remix" Polly Pocket comes fairy skipping into view. The fans cheer the Tiny Tornado as she makes her way down the ramp dressed in her blue and silver glittery tight-tight short shorts and matching top, with tutu around her waist.
Jessica Stroup: Introducing first, from the Fae Realm, East of the River Bliss.. weighing in a one hundred and ten pounds... POLLY POCKET!
She is also sporting white wrestling boots with silver glitter all over them. Polly tags hands and does a few little cute cursy bows to the masses before stopping at ringside and raising her wand in the air. She presses a button and out shoots a bunch of glitter that wafts through the air and onto the fans.
Aiello: Polly Pocket sure has been impressive since signing with the E but she's got her work cut out for tonight.
Bennett: Damn right, she's got one tough son of a bitch who's our new International champion!
Carter: Pocket has proved in the past that she is someone that shouldn't be underestimated, and we shouldn't underestimate her tonight.
She skips around the ring tagging hands and hugging fans before finally sliding into the ring under the bottom rope and popping to her vertical base. Polly takes to the center of the ring as her name is officially announced, and rips off her tutu to show that magnificently built lower body. She then retreats to her corner.
Jessica Stroup: And her opponent...
The lights fade to a dark grey, and the arena becomes silent instantly. The video screen above the entrance flickers to life, showing an image of a man, his eyes ready for battle.
Explosions rocket from the stage, catching the fans off guard as "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey. begins to play! Stepping into view, Ashton Drake runs to the end of the stage and crouches, looking out into the sea of fans. There is a sarcastic smile on his face, as he shakes his head, overwhelmed by the fans around him!
Jessica Stroup: Hailing from Brooklyn, NEW YORK! Please welcome... The EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION.. ASHTON DRAKE!!!
Nodding his head, Ashton hops up to his feet and cranks his arm. He then heads down the rampway and runs towards the ring as the fans cheer him on. His dark pupils stare at the ring as the arena explodes around him. Arriving at ringside, Ashton hops up to the ring apron and remains in place.. looking out at the fans around him.
Carter: And there he is! The New International champion!
Aiello: It was one heck of a contest between Ashton Drake and Tony Savage at Night of Champions, another great match for the archives and what a way for Drake to continue his undefeated streak with a championship win.
Bennett: I'll give it to the kid, if he keeps going the way he's going.. maybe he'll be as a good as me!
Nodding his head once again, Ashton enters the ring and slowly struts around, his arms held out as he soaks up the fans' responses. His theme song slowly fades out as Ashton ascends a turnbuckle, finding a seat on the top pad. The fans continue to cheer as the theme song comes to an end.
Aiello: Drake is becoming a household name and one of the best on the roster, up against the newcomer Polly Pocket who's been eccentric and impressive since her debut. Who's coming out of this one the victor? Let's find out!
The match starts with a standard collar to elbow tie up from the pair, with Drake gaining the advantage, pushing his opponent to the corner, Polly however grabs onto the ropes to force the break. Drake backs away a little before running at her, looking to clobber her in the corner but she rolls out of the way, spins him round and delivers a series of basic strikes, varying from forearm strikes, elbows, before ending with backhand chops to the chest. Drake then pushes her away, stunned by the tenacity she's brought so early on and shes running at him again, with Drake ducking under her arm and getting behind her for a standard waist lock. Polly is quick. She's so quick to slip out of the hold and reverse it on Drake before pushing him against the ropes, rolling backwards and rolling him back in the process for the pin attempt..

Aiello: Polly isn't messing around here, with two quick covers so early on in this contest!
Bennett: She's so damn bubbly in that ring Joey, Drake doesn't know what's going on.
Drake is on his knee's and isn't rushing to get up, instead, he just looks at Polly with a curious look and Polly is playing to the audience, who are cheering her for her efforts. He gets to his feet and walks around, waiting for her to turn back around. Once she does the two circle the ring before engaging in the centre with a collar to elbow, with Drake quickly transitioning into into a wrist lock, wrenching the arm around and pulling it down. Polly rolls forwards, then back before kipping herself up and reverses the move.
Drake rolls forwards and back, kips himself up, performs a cartwheel before reversing the move. He then brings Polly to the ropes and Irish whips her to the opposite set, she bounces back and Drake greets her with a hard shoulder before he takes off to the ropes, he comes back and Polly is back up and looks for a Pollycanranna, and she connects; so it seems. Drake manages to cartwheel his way from landing on the canvas, to the surprise of Polly as she turns around and is hit with a roundhouse kick!
Carter: You don't wanna get caught with the boot of Ashton Drake, under any circumstance!
Aiello: A wicked roundhouse kick from the champ!
Polly has rolled to the outside and Ashton follows, rolling himself out of the ring and heads to her. He grabs her and brings her up, delivering a backhand chop before rolling her into the ring. He jumps onto the apron and Polly is up as fast as a cheetah, running towards him and performing a yakuza kick that sends Ashton flying off of the apron and to the outside!
Aiello: And Polly Pocket returning the favor with a yakuza kick!
Bennett: You don't wanna be caught with the boot of this chick, that's for sure!
Gradually Ashton Drake is making it back to his feet and inside the ring, Polly is feeding off of the energy of the audience. She looks at Drake before looking at the ropes, looking at Drake once more before taking off, bouncing off of them and now running in his direction, flying through the middle of the ropes and looking to catch Drake with a suicide dive! But Drake moves out of the way and Polly goes crashing into the barricades.
The champion then picks Polly up and rolls her into the ring before leaping onto the apron and climbing to the top rope. He positions himself and Polly looks out of it. He then leaps off of the top rope, looking for an elbow drop, and he connects. He then goes for the pin!

The shoulder of Polly bursts up!
Aiello: And Polly isn't out of this one!
Drake runs his fingers through his hair and picks Polly up, Irish whip to the corner before following her and connecting with corner clothesline. He then takes off to the ropes whilst Polly stumbles out of the corner, she replies with a spinning backfist, Drake stumbles backwards into the ropes, comes off of them and connects with a backhanded chop to Polly, who stumbles back into the ropes, comes off of them, ducks under a strike attempt from Ashton Drake, runs to the ropes; handsprings before hitting them, launching herself backwards towards Drake and throwing her elbow into him.
Aiello: HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW FROM POLLY POCKET!
Carter: IMPRESSIVE!
The two are back up on their feet and it's Drake looking to connect with a strike but Polly ducks under his arm, before performing a pele kick on the champion! Drake doesn't fall though. He staggers backwards into the ropes, and all of a sudden, a new burst of life surges through him and he comes back connecting with a superkick that stuns Polly, before spinning into a clothesline that sends her down!
Aiello: TALK ABOUT IMPRESSIVE! ASHTON DRAKE WITH THE BRAINFREEZE THAT HAS POLLY FLIPPING INSIDE OUT!
Bennett: This is wrestling at it's finest, folks.
Polly is slow to get to her feet and Drake signals the end of this match. Polly, who's groggy, turns around into the path of Ashton Drake, who grabs and delivers his signature "Death Note DDT", planting her head on the canvas with such impact, before locking her in his finishing maneuver - The Machine!
Aiello: THE MACHINE HAS BEEN LOCKED IN!
Carter: THERE'S NO WAY POLLY IS GETTING OUT OF THIS!
She's reaching..
She's stretching..
She's clawing..
Polly is almost by the ropes to the surprise of Ashton Drake who tightens the hold and there's a flare of rage in his eyes and that does it for him, that's what secures him the victory and Polly can't help, but tap!
Aiello: AND THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE!
Jessica Stroup: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE WINNER OF THE MATCH.. ASHTON DRAKE!
Ashton raises his arms in victory as the ref hands him back his International Championship.
Aiello: What an effort by Polly here tonight, I think she impressed a whole lot of people tonight but the Champ proved to be too much for her. Ashton Drake is really making a name for himself, not just as the new International Champion but as the Number One contender for Xplodes Championship. It will be interesting to see where things go from here
Aiello: Drake is becoming a household name and one of the best on the roster, up against the newcomer Polly Pocket who's been eccentric and impressive since her debut. Who's coming out of this one the victor? Let's find out!
DING DING DING!
The match starts with a standard collar to elbow tie up from the pair, with Drake gaining the advantage, pushing his opponent to the corner, Polly however grabs onto the ropes to force the break. Drake backs away a little before running at her, looking to clobber her in the corner but she rolls out of the way, spins him round and delivers a series of basic strikes, varying from forearm strikes, elbows, before ending with backhand chops to the chest. Drake then pushes her away, stunned by the tenacity she's brought so early on and shes running at him again, with Drake ducking under her arm and getting behind her for a standard waist lock. Polly is quick. She's so quick to slip out of the hold and reverse it on Drake before pushing him against the ropes, rolling backwards and rolling him back in the process for the pin attempt..

Bennett: She's so damn bubbly in that ring Joey, Drake doesn't know what's going on.

COMMERCIAL BREAK
TRIPLE THREAT
INTERNATIONAL CONTENDER LADDER MATCH
ALEXIS MORRISON
Vs VINNY GIGANTE
Vs KENNETH WILLIAMS
WINNER OF THE MATCH WILL BECOME THE #1 CONTENDER FOR THE EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is your main event of the evening and is a LADDER MATCH to determine the number one contender to the INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
A low tone beat mixed with an electronic guitar sounds through the arena for a few seconds before going full force over the sound system. Cameras get a close up of the giant screen as the Anti-Starlet logo is presented in 3D to a roar within the EWC Universe. A video package plays a montage with clips of Alexis Morrison backstage and matches in the company. This all leads to a fading transition to the entrance way. Alexis walks out of smoke wearing her leather jacket, her blonde hair fell behind the woman, and she walks down the aisle.
Jessica Stroup: Introducing first from Salem, New York, weighing in at 125 pounds… "The Anti-Starlet" Alexis Morrison!!!
She stops, looks at the ring for a moment, circles it, then immediately goes patting the steel steps showing her respect to those who passed on before walking up these steps and climbing into the ring. Alexis Morrison cuts straight toward her turnbuckle spot, takes off her jacket, and adjusts her finger-less gloves.
Jessica Stroup: And the next combatant, from Las Vegas Nevada, weighing in at 225 pounds… The Human Highlight Real… Kenneth Williams!!!
The lights in the arena begin to dim as the countdown ends and the X-treme Tron springs into life with a shot of “The Human Highlight Reel” Kenneth Williams giving the camera a few playful winks.
The fans jump straight to their feet in cheer as "Shadowboxin" by the GZA & Method Man begins to play through the PA speakers. The familiar adlibs of Method Man accompanying the vinyl scratches of the classic "Shaolin vs. Lama" Kung-Fu movie echo throughout the arena as Kenneth Williams steps out onto the ramp.
Fire and pyro began shooting out of the stage as Kenny stands at the ramp with a playful grin as he stands at a military rest with his head cocked to the side before taking off in a full sprint to the ring, making sure to slap hands of the fans on his way. He hops onto the outside of the turnbuckle before looking out into the crowd and delivering a vicious dab with a look of disgust on his face. He hops into the ring and prepares in his corner.
Jessica Stroup: And their opponent from Lower Manhattan, New York—
Suddenly Ace Hart comes out from behind the curtain waving off Jessica Stroup who looks confused by the whole situation… As does the combatants in the ring, the announcers and the entire arena. He steps through the ropes, says a few things to Jessica, and she hands him the microphone.
Aiello: What the hell is going on here?
Carter: Well there was some rumors about Vinny’s whereabouts earlier in the week…
Bennett: Oh this is gonna be good… I love a good show.
Heart: Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the ring now, to clear up some rumors about Vinny Gigante's whereabouts, Mr. Carlo Salerno and Mr. Frankie Four Fingers. Here goes nothing...
Carlo Salerno and Frankie Four Fingers come out through the ramp to jeers from the fans in Charlotte. Frankie is hit with a sign as he makes his way in and doesn't take too kindly to it. He grabs the kid's sign and rips it to shreds then throws the broken pieces in his face. The kid starts crying and Frankie makes fun of it, mimicking his wails.
Aiello: Oh come on, there's no need for that, he's just a kid. These guys are bunch of bullies!
CARLO SALERNO: Now, we've heard just enough out of you for the time being. Frankie and I ain't much for public appearances, so we're going to try to make this brief. Especially down here in this southern hell hole, a poor excuse for a city if I ever saw one. Home of hillbillies and farmers.
FRANKIE FOUR FINGERS: Pretty good BBQ though, I'm not going to lie. But, yeah, listen up you toothless jerks! It's about this main event tonight with Kenneth Williams, that hot piece of tail Alexis Morrison, and of course, the real MVP, the Godfather, Vinny Gigante.
Heart: Vinny is a great competitor, no doubt about it, but it looks like he's got other problems right now. What's this I hear about him being taken to jail over the weekend? Set some of this stuff to rest guys, is he here?
CARLO SALERNO: Well, see that's why we're out here.
FRANKIE FOUR FINGERS: Yeah, see, like you said...Vinny ran into some trouble over the weekend...
Heart: Well, is he here, or isn't he?
CARLO SALERNO: I mean, it's nothing he can't handle or nothin', but, you know...
FRANKIE FOUR FINGERS: Yeah, it's nothing the boss can't handle!
The crowd begins booing as they realize Frankie and Carlo aren't being forthcoming with Vinny's whereabouts. As the jeers run down, Ace pushes the issue a little further....
Heart: Listen to this crowd. Why can't you guys just answer the question? Is Vinny here or is he locked up in jail like all of the newspapers say?
Carlo and Frankie shrug their shoulders, indicating they don't know if he's in jail or not....
Heart: He wouldn't be just taking the night off would he? After that match with Drake and Alexis a couple of weeks ago I wouldn't blame him if he's trying to quit...
CARLO SALERNO: Now, wait just a damn minute, Ace. Now, you're about to cross some lines...
FRANKIE FOUR FINGERS: You wanna live to see tomorrow?
Carlo and Frankie grab up Ace by his collar and give him an intimidating look.
Heart: Did I say quitting? I meant, arriving in style. Fashionably late, even. Don't worry fans, the show must go on one way or another, right fellas? I'm sure if Mr. Chin is here, he'll come out and give us a hell of a show...
CARLO SALERNO: Don't call him Chin. He doesn't like that.
FRANKIE FOUR FINGERS: He'll be here if he can be here. I wouldn't jump for joy yet, Alexis and Kenneth. If for some reason he doesn't show up realize it's because powers greater than you didn't allow it to happen.
CARLO SALERNO: But don't worry, if he don't come and get you- WE WILL. And you won't like that very much, will she Ace?
Carlo squeeze Ace's tie and it starts choking him...
Heart: I can't imagine anyone who would....back to you guys....get me out of here.....
Carlo and Frankie exit the ring to a room full of boo's and sneers. It's evident New Yorkers are not welcome in Charlotte.
Aiello: Well, I guess this is going to be a one on one match then… All signs point to Vinny not being here tonight.
Carter: He didn’t say that…
Bennett: They really didn’t say anything… that was all pretty pointless.
Alexis and Kenneth are confused talking to the ref, as they wait for him to make a decision…
Carter: It looks like Vinny's not coming. Now what? wait a minute...
Aiello: It's Carlo Salerno and Frankie Four Fingers again...
Carter: Oh, God. Not these two....
Salerno and Frankie make their way over to the ringside announce position, looking every bit as intimidating as you would expect as they take seats right next to the announce team. Putting on headsets.
Frankie Four Fingers: Hey sweethearts, no sign of the boss yet, so we decided to bring a little bit of a party with us while we wait…
Carter: Party? Oh, great....
Suddenly the lights go out in the arena, and there's absolute silence while Alexis and Kenneth try to focus in on what's going on around them.
Aeillo: Lights out, boys. What's going on?
Carter: I have a sneaking suspicion the party is about to begin…
Carlo Salerno: Hit it, Luca!
Fast paced European Techno music starts blaring and it seems as though someone got into the control room and had some fun with the strobe lights. Kenneth is in the ring covering his eyes, Alexis is stunned as well, not knowing what to make of things. Carlo and Frankie run to ringside and stand outside the apron pointing and screaming at Alexis and Kenneth Williams, who appear as though they are not about to have Carlo and Frankie steal their shine.
Aiello: Something's going on in the ring.
Carter: What's wrong with Kenneth?
Kenneth falls to his knees, and begins to shake uncontrollably as his eyes roll back in his head. The ref immediately signals for the emergency medical unit to come to the ring!
Bennett: It's his epilepsy! Wow! The Genovese's pull no punches!
The music stops, the lights go out again, and the arena is pitch black. After a few seconds, the lights come back on and Vinny Gigante is standing in the middle of the ring! As EMT’s move Williams out of the ring, they work tirelessly on him at ringside, as they try to move him to the back as he is in a full on seizure.
Aiello: He's here! But how!?!? As God as my witness he was just in jail over the weekend!
DING! DING! DING!
Carter: That's the bell! Action is about to pick up! Wow, was this all a set up?!?!
Bennett: You better believe it!!! This match just became one on one, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an ambush in all my days! Son of a Bitch that was amazing!
Aiello: Amazing isn’t the word I would use to describe it, one of our own is in the back now having a full on seizure because these thugs wanted him out of the match.
Bennett: Well, serious or not… It was brilliant!
The ref leans outside the ropes as Alexis and Vinny stare each other down as he speaks to Jessica Stroup
Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the referee has informed me that because Kenneth Williams is now unable to compete this match is now a ONE on ONE ladder match!
This gets a pop from the crowd, although they are still in shock over what just happened. Alexis looks at Vinny with fury like she can’t believe what he just did, but Vinny looks back at her with an evil smile on his face. Vinny looks up at the contract hanging from the ceiling, and waves for Alexis to bring it on. Alexis slowly walks to the middle of the ring meeting Vinny in the middle nose to nose. They talk trash to one another and Alexis follows this up with a shove! Vinny stumbles back a couple steps smiles and retaliates with a shove of his own knocking Alexis down to her back as she rolls over onto one knee, as Vinny waves for her to bring it.
Aiello: I wouldn’t try to match power with Vinny… not many people can.
Carter: Alexis is smarter than that, I think that shove was out of anger for the stunt he just pulled.
Bennett: *chuckling* I still can’t believe he did that…
Aiello: Shut up…
Alexis smiles herself, knowing she can’t match Vinny strength for strength, but she gets up and again meets Vinny in the middle of the ring, where he lifts one hand looking for a test of strength… she looks like she is about to lock fingers with Vinny when she gives him a swift kick between his legs! And Vinny drops down to one knee!!!
Carter: That’s one way to bring the man down!
Alexis hits the ropes, and bounces back and drop kicks Vinny square in the face! He falls rolling onto his back, and before he can react, Alexis bounces off the other side and hits a swift legdrop across the neck of Vinny! Alexis runs to hit the other side but this time Vinny grabs her by the ankle and Alexis face plants into the mat, Vinny doesn’t let go of the ankle and he slowly stands up and turns it into a one leg boston crab!!! He sits down on her back, wrenching the small of her back and twisting the knee!
Carter: That’s good thinking on Vinny’s part, mess up that leg.. .that lower back… it’s gonna be hard for Alexis to climb a ladder.
There are no rope breaks, but Alexis grabs the rope to try to pull herself out of the ring to fall to the floor to break the hold, and she does just that. She hits the floor with a thump rolling, grabbing at her knee. Vinny followers her outside the ring grabbing her in a bear hug and then slamming her lower back into the ring apron! She shouts in pain, as she stumbles away… Vinny follows closely behind as she rounds the steel steps Vinny gives her a kick in the back of that knee and it smashes into the steel steps! Alexis falls to a seated position as Vinny picks up half of the stairs giving Alexis a few shots to the face to daze her as he grabs her leg and positions it on the stairs to smash her knee… but at the last second Alexis sweeps her leg out tripping Vinny to goes face first into the steel steps! He falls backwards sitting against the ring barricade, as Alexis limping slightly runs and dropkicks Vinny in the face! Crushing his skull between her boot and the safety barrier!
Aiello: OH! That one is gonna give him a head ache!
Alexis gets up limping on that leg as she reaches under the ring… pulling out a ladder! She drops it on the arena floor pulling Vinny to his feet. She looks to scoop slam him on the ladder but he appears to be to heavy!
Carter: I don’t think she has the upper body strength to slam Vinny…
But then with one last HEAVE she manages to pick him up and SLAM him on the ladder!!! She falls down almost surprised herself that she got him up as Vinny grabs at his back!
Bennett: I don’t believe it! I can’t believe she just slammed him!
Vinny rolls off the ladder and Alexis picks it up. Vinny stumbles over toward the safety wall trying to get his wits about him but just as he turns around, Alexis hits him in the face with the ladder and he goes toppling over the guard rail!!! Vinny is busted wide open!!!
The crowd ERUPTS!!!
Alexis curiously sets up the ladder on the outside of the ring, as Vinny lays on the arena floor with fans around him, the security holding them back. She starts to climb the ladder to the top…
Carter: She’s not gonna do what I think she is gonna do is she???
Bennett: Yeah… I think she is…
Alexis LEAPS off the top of the ladder onto Vinny who is just getting to his feet, but he reacts quickly, catching her mid air and using both their momentum to powerslam her on the arena floor!!! The crows goes NUTS as Alexis clutches her back!
“HOLY SHIT!!!”
“HOLY SHIT!!!”
“HOLY SHIT!!!”
“HOLY SHIT!!!”
“HOLY SHIT!!!”
Aiello: Oh God she’s dead…
Bennett: RELAX… she’s not dead… see, right there she’s moving…
Vinny is stumbling to his feet, as Alexis rolls on her side trying to get her wind back. Vinny picks her up and slams her face down on the guard rail! The fans around them are going crazy! Vinny picks her up and body presses her above his head holding her there for a few seconds showing off his brute strength before tossing her over the guard rail to the arena floor below. She hits the floor with a thud but quickly rolls over and starts crawling her way back to the ring. Vinny climbs over the barricade, folding up the ladder lifting it above his head and SLAMMING it down on the back of Alexis! She falls to her stomach clutching her back, but refuses to give up.
Aiello: Alexis never gives up, she will fight this thing till she can no longer stand.
Carter: If she’s not careful that just might happen.
Bennett: Yeah if we are lucky…
Aiello: What the hell is wrong with you?
Suddenly we see Rampage’s Shelly Silver walk down the ramp…
Aiello: What’s going on here? Is Rampage just invading tonight or what? We have a main event going on here!
Shelly casually walks to ringside avoiding the action and takes a seat on Max’s lap and kisses him on the cheek.
Carter: Well HELLO! What can we do for you Ms. Silver?
Silver: I’m just here to enjoy the show, I miss my girl Alexis and I am here to see her kick Vinny’s ass!
Bennett: That’s it? Just here to enjoy the show? This has nothing to do with Luke Wolfe who came out here earlier who beat you for the United States Championship at Night of Champions.
Silver: I’ve already put that behind me, I’m here to see my girl Alexis I miss her… and I hope to get myself into a good rivalry again someday.
Bennett: Fair enough… But you know… I think you would be more comfortable over here on my lap.
Carter: I think she’s fine…
Shelly: *Laughs*
Vinny slides the ladder in the ring, giving Alexis a few stomps for good measure and he thinks he has this in the bag, as he slides in the ring, setting up the ladder. He begins to climb up it as the camera catches a perfect angle of Alexis climbing up the apron as her eyes peak just above… you can see the anger on her face as she rolls in the ring, still holding her back, as Vinny reaches up for the contract Alexis tips over the ladder and Vinny lands on the ropes crotched on the top rope!!!
Aiello: Oh, that had to hurt!
Vinny winces in pain as Alexis leaves the ladder where it is, As Vinny sits crotched on the ropes Alexis hits the opposite side and nails 20 EYES! Sending Vinny over the top rope, to the arena floor below! The crowd goes nuts!!!
EWC!!!
EWC!!!
EWC!!!
EWC!!!
EWC!!!
Alexis turns and looks up at the contract herself, seeing how high it is. She grabs the ladder pushing it back onto its feet, standing it up straight and steadies it. She begins to climb, but that lower back and her knee is clearly bothering her, as she slowly makes her way up the ladder, Vinny slides under the bottom rope just as Alexis makes it to the top, not going to be caught by what she just did to Vinny, she leaps off the ladder looking for a hurricanranna, but its not to be as Vinny catches her and SLAMS her down on the mat with a powerbomb! He too falls to a seated position as he wipes blood off his face. He looks at the ladder standing in the middle of the ring, the contract swaying from side to side though, he gets up and starts to climb the ladder up. About half way up Alexis makes it to her hands and knees, and starts to crawl over and drag herself up the opposite side. Vinny is at the top of the ladder reaching for the contract but as it swings back and forth like a pendulum he almost has it as he gets his finger tips on it but again escapes his grasp! Alexis has made it to the top of the ladder and Vinny turns his attention to her! He swings way back looking to just punch her straight off the ladder but she leaps over the top sunset flip style grabbing him at his waist and he comes crashing down off the ladder in a super powerbomb!!!
Aiello: Woah! What a move!
Carter: Vinny looks to be out cold!
Bennett: But does Alexis have enough left in the tank to climb the ladder now?
Aiello: Like I said before, Alexis doesn’t know the word die.
Alexis starts to climb the ladder, slowly but surely she gets to the top, Vinny starts to move getting to his feet, Alexis has to go up one more rung to grab it and as it swings past her she grabs ahold of it, just as Vinny places one hand on her rear end and shoves her off the top of the ladder as she flips over crashing down landing on her back on the other side, landing awkwardly on the side of her head and shoulder! Alexis seems to be out of it! Vinny climbs up the rest of the way… takes a seat on the top of the ladder, he reaches up and pulls down the contract!
DING! DING! DING!
Aiello: It’s over! Vinny has won it!
Vinny holds the contract up in the air, with a big smile on his face.
Carter: It looks like Alexis might be the newest victim of The Chin… Did you see the way she landed?
Bennett: Don’t call him The Chin… he hates that…
Vinny’s music hits as Alexis starts to move rolling out of the ring, he stays seated on top of the ladder.
Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner… and NEW… Number one contender to the International Championship… VINNY GIGANTE!!!
Aiello: What a match! It looks like Gigante has just earned himself a ticket to Rumble in the Bronx to face Ashton Drake in Drakes first title defense. We'll be right back folks with more Monday Night Brawl
COMMERCIAL BREAK
RINGSIDE
Inside the EWC, Ace Heart is standing next to a table, covered in black tablecloth bearing the EWC logo. On the table, is a pen and clipboard, and sitting at the table, as Ace soon introduces...
Ace: Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only....*points to the woman at the table* KID...CANNABIS!!
The cheers are deafening, as the former multi-time EWC/HCW World Champion takes her mic, and begins to address the crowd in Charlotte.
For nearly a decade, I've been a part of this amazing organization. I've done so much; made amazing friends, been a part of some of the greatest moments in this company's history, acquired so many accolades...but...
I think my proudest moment was something I did outside this ring. The thing I'm most honored by, was I had the privilege of bringing to EWC, one of the brightest stars and best examples of a human being we've had grace the locker room in years.
This is a man that's overcome personal adversity and scenarios so crazy, they'd break normal people down. A man that's done nothing but carry the banner for EWC, inside and outside the federation. When so-called icons and multi-time champions came and went, boasting their ability to make an impact in EWC, this man, who most who laced up boots here, mocked as a gimmick, a part timer, a joke. But the joke was on them, as this man has set nothing but standards, from style to performance to tenacity, never giving up, and never compromising his beliefs. He's done so much for EWC, it's only fitting we, the fans and management, do something for him.
This is his night. This, what I'm...we're doing...is all for him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, my former student, my client, and one of our dearest friends....TONY SAVAGE!!
And when "Easy Rider" hits the sound system, there isn't a seat in the arena with an ass in it, because they've jumped to their feet to greet the former International and EWC champion. Tony comes out, dressed in simple street clothes, and not a hint of emotion on his face, even when confetti falls and pyro booms all around him.
Aiello: What a royal reception for Tony! They've really rolled out all the stops to welcome back the former International Champion. The excitement level is off the charts!
Bennett: Except from the guy who's the fucking guest of honor for this shit; Tony looks like he'd rather be anywhere than here right now.
Carter: That frown'll turn upside down once he sees what Mac and the Board are giving him for a present!
Bennett: If it's as lousy as that free colonics for a year gift card from that fruity little health food place you slum around in I got for my birthday, Maxie-pad, don't be surprised if Tony shoves something up YOUR ass that isn't spring water or a tube!
The walls are rattling from the reception, but Tony's stony gaze remains unflinching. Cannabis gives Tony a hug, but he continues to be unmoved.
Cannabis: Tony, I'm so glad you could make it...
Tony: Not like I've got much of a fucking choice; after all, you are the motherfucker that threatened legal action if I didn't.
Cannabis: I know; look, I had to do something. You were acting all out of sorts. You weren't thinking straight, man! I mean....
Listen to these people, Tony. Do you see what you mean to them? To us all?
As Cannabis points around, the fans are going nuts. Chants of "Please Don't Go!" echo throughout Time Warner Arena.
Cannabis: Dude, you're an institution around here. Losing you, that'd be like, losing a thumb for us. Look....
I know the last year, especially the last few months, have been rough. Cass getting ill and you losing to Hunter. All that shit you had to eat from motherfuckers on social media during Manifest Destiny because you had the balls to rep a company the competition hates with a vengeance. Losing your friend Siobhan like that, and yet...
Look what it's made you. You've rose above all of that. You're a legend in the making. I know the company hasn't treated you the best at times. Let's admit it; you're a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes yourself.
Tony: Only when I've been wronged; you should know that by now..."friend"!
Bennett: That liquid leaking on your screens at home, folks; that was pure concentrated sarcasm leaking from the way he said "friend"!
Aiello: They are friends, Steve. Cannabis trained Tony; helped him get into the biz.
Bennett: So, that gives her the right to jam him up like she is? Why bother; he doesn't want to be here anymore. I say let him fucking walk if he wants to that bad. Fuck him!
Aiello: And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why nobody from work invites Steve Bennett to do ANYTHING with them off the clock!
Cannabis: I get it; I do! What I did was shitty! You don't think I don't know that?!What was I supposed to do, huh? You and Mac've been butting heads for too damn long! Both are you are stubborn motherfuckers. I was the one that convinced him he wasn't treating you the way you deserved. I got him to reconsider his stance, man. He did keep you out of the EWC Undisputed Championship running for too long. He knows exactly what you've been doing for these fans and this fed. But if you could just...forget your anger and your ego for just a moment...
Maybe you might see... WE"RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!!
That's when she hands him the clip-board: Starting now!
This, what I'm holding, is a 2 year contract extension, guaranteeing that for the next 24 months, you, will be one of the highest paid athletes in the history of EWC, perhaps the SPORT!! We're talking, NBA or NFL superstar money! A landmark opportunity you won't find in ANY other federations on Earth. You've earned this in spades, buddy!! That's how much you mean to this company, to the fans, to Danny...
Tony: Who, I happen to notice, isn't here. If this means so much to him, why the fuck isn't he out here?
Bennett: Fair enough question.
Carter: Steve, he does care. In fact, he's in the back, waiting for Tony with a surprise if he re-signs with us. He even rented a taco bar for the occasion!
Cannabis: I'm trying to sort this out the right way, okay?! You keep letting stupid shit and your own bad attitude get in the way. Just....
Tony, I'm begging you; don't walk away from here angry. You've got another 6 months here; why make it any harder than it has to be? We want you here, dude. We want Tony Savage part of this family. All of us....
PLEASE DON'T GO!
PLEASE DON'T GO!
PLEASE DON'T GO!
Can you honest say, after all of this, that'd you'd still consider walking away? Can you honestly say we didn't do everything in our power, whether good or bad, to keep you around? I did what I had to do, and I can't change that! Listen...
Sighing that is strictly YOUR choice. You can walk out of here in April, no strings attached, I promise you, but, I also promise you this...
You sign that extension, and you will never, EVER, have to worry about being slighted ever again! Anything you need from us, I swear before God and my prized bong, we'll do everything under the sun to make sure of that!!
The please don't go chants are deafening, increasing in intensity. Tony scowl deepens, then:
Lemme see the damn thing.
Tony reads it for a few moments: Hmmm; this is a pretty damn solid deal. Hell, it's actually great! You said you'd do anything to help keep me around?
Absolutely!
*Smiling* Then turn around. I need something to sign this bad boy on!
Aiello: This...this is PHENOMENAL NEWS! TONY SAVAGE IS STAYING IN THE EWC!!
*turns her back* You've got it!!
Carter: You see, Steve. I told you he'd come to reason!
Tony has the papers and just when he starts to write: Oh, by the way; that thing I want from you....
Yeah?!
I want you to fully understand what it feels like...*clutches the pen like a knife*...WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE STABBED IN THE FUCKING BACK, YOU PIECE OF SHIT JUDAS!!
That's when Tony, before Can could even utter a word, takes the pen, and jams it into her lower back, right in to the lower lombars of her back! Cannabis screams, and falls to the ground.
Aiello: NOOOOOOO! WHAT THE...TONY!?!
Carter: Dear God!
Bennett: *Snickering* Now THAT...I did not see coming!!
Suddenly, the cheers turn to gasps of shock! Cannabis tries to get up, but....
Tony....*aaagh*...I can't...I can't feel....Jesus, I can't move my legs...why the fuck...
Tony shoves past Ace Heart, grabs a folding chair, and the look on his face is purely murderous:
Why? WHY?! Because, bitch....I GOT FUCKING WISE!!
He brings the chair over his head, then, it comes racing down at frightening speed, towards Cannabis's head.
CRACK!!
I got tired of waiting for what I earned, with goddamn sweat, tears and blood, while every goddamn freakshow that crawls in here, seemingly gets the red carpet rolled out for them.
CRACK!!Another blow comes crashing down on her body, then her head!
I'm tired of being pushed in the back! Tired of watching cocksucking degenerates walk around her with impunity, while management turns a blind eye and pockets the cash. Tired of breaking my back making guys like Mac and Saint rich sitting on their asses, while I put my ass on the line every fucking week, just to be fed a buncha bullshit promises they don't feel like keeping!!
CRACK! The chair is now dented and covered in blood!!
Aiello: This can't be...somebody do something and stop him!!
Carter: We need security down here; Tony's flipped!
Bennett: Fuck security; we need popcorn! I'm enjoying watching this shit!!
Security does start making their way to the ring, through a sea of garbage now being thrown ringside. What once were cheers of adoration, have now turned to rancor. Tony, now standing over a bloodied heap of the EWC legend, is practically begging them to try and stop him.
But, most of all...*drops the chair*...I'm tired of trying to do the right thing by everybody...except myself!!
I've had to learn some real hard lessons about this fucking place. That these fans don't give a fuck unless you're killing yourself on a constant basis for their amusement. That people will turn on your, give you fake smiles and phony hugs, while plotting to fuck you in the ass all along! That family...
Family is the one that'll screw you over the worst!!
It took listening to somebody that was my worst enemy to reveal that truth. Somebody that knows what it's like to have family let you down bad. What trusting people, having faith in a thoroughly fucked system, gets you. What constantly holding back because you're scared of what it'll make you causes you to lose.
Now, it's time EWC learns a few painful lessons on what happens when the powers that be fuck over their greatest soldiers in the field! From me....
And from a man who knows a thing or two about punishing motherfuckers who confuse kindness for weakness!
Oh.....JAAAAAAAAAADEN!
Aiello: Oh no....he didn't! He isn't really....they're working together now!? Dear GOD!!
"I stand alone" by Godsmack suddenly begins to play as the entire arena becomes a MADHOUSE!! Stepping through the entrance curtain is the reigning EWC Undisputed Champion of the World, Xplode! The boos continue to be heard along with a few "murderer" chants as Xplode stops just short of the stage area, the championship belt sparkling upon his large shoulder. Smirking, he looks out at Tony Savage for a time.
Aiello: What is going on here?! Tony Savage and Xplode... can this be happening?!!
Xplode slowly walks down the ramp way and heads to the ring. Trash flies from the crowd towards him and into the ring as he enters. Tony Savage says nothing. He stands in place as the champion steps towards him, raising the title belt slowly over his head. Cameras flash as the trash continues to be thrown into the ring. Finally, both Savage and Xplode shake hands!!!!
Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! THE TWO BIGGEST NAMES IN THE SPORT!!! UNITED?!!!!
A microphone is handed to X as he turns to look at the camera. Savage slaps X on the shoulder and laughs as Xplode speaks, his voice barely audible above the crowd noise!!
X: You've all brought this upon yourselves. Don't act surprised. How long has Savage and I competed in this ring, busting our asses and keeping this company afloat, only to have you self righteous, inward thinking, fans boo us? Then there is the fools in the locker room. Every week.. they talk trash about us. Yet, Savage and myself are out here, the constant in an ever changing rotation of wanna be superstars. For the last few years, we have been here... doing what we do.. while you idiots choose a new hero of the week... only to have that hero fade away, leaving us to carry this promotion.
The fans really get loud now as Xplode paces the ring. The mat is hardly visible due to the trash inside of it as Savage ascends a turnbuckle, looking out at the fans.
X: I warned you all that I had a plan. I warned each and every one of you that the end was near. The two greatest names in the history of the EWC have decided to aim our defenses away from one another... and shoot them at that locker room instead. Retribution is here... and it's a simple fact of life. We are done taking the shit that you all toss our way. Now, it's time for us to establish a feeding order around here. You are looking at the top of the food chain. Predators among sheep. No one in that locker room is safe... and this is just the beginning. With me by his side, Savage can finally reach his potential. All of you hoped that he would retire tonight. Admit it. Now, like a phoenix reborn.. Savage's stock has just risen in this company. That's what I bring to those who stand by me.. Like it or not.. this is reality.
Aiello: What does that mean?
X: This.. Retribution will grow. It won't end with what you see in this ring tonight either. Apart, we ruled the industry. Together.. it's game over. There is no one out there who is capable of stopping us. The end is here.
X tosses the microphone out into the fans and raises the championship over his head now. Trash flies into the ring as fireworks emit from the turnbuckles! Tony Savage and Xplode stare out into the fans as the arena erupts like never before!!!
Aiello: OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The EWC is in deep trouble. Who can stop these two legends of the ring?! We have just witnessed a historic moment in the history of the company!!! That wraps things up for us tonight, we will see you next week
The scene fades with Xplode and Savage laughing as the fans continue to boo and throw garbage
