Fireworks blast across the stage as the fans scream in delight. 

A thick layer of fog circles the arena, and camera flashes repeatedly strobe the area!  

The camera feed pans to different areas in the arena and we see fans cheering in excitement!

The fans are shown smiling, laughing, and pumping their fists in excitement

as fireworks emit from each corner of the ring!

A thick layer of fog surrounds the fans from the firework display. 

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!

Aiello: Hello and Welcome to another sold out Monday Night Brawl. We are back in Florida, this time it's Sunrise and man this place is absolutely rocking

Bennett: Hardcore Revolution is two weeks away, and it's already poised to be one of the biggest pay-per-view events in EWC history. When you think of the matches, the feuds, the build up and that massive Main Event .. there is so much damn hype, you'd think I was stepping back in the ring

Carter: To think, Xplode and Drake .. the feud to end all feuds is finally coming to an end. It's shocking and it's sad to be honest. We love both of these guys, we love seeing them at each others throats, but in two weeks .. it's over. One will win, one will lose, one will be a dual champion and that's the end of that

Aiello: Throw in the fact that Xplode is retiring at StrangleMania, this could be our second last match featuring Xplode .. ever. That's huge. Someone with a tremendous career, someone who means so much to Wrestling and to the EWC. I know Mac has been emotional, even Shadow Man has been oddly quiet .. people are very sad and upset to see Xplode retire. A true testament to what an amazing career he has had. 

Bennett: He's the guy who does things you hate, but you love to cheer for him because he's the best in the game. You can hate LeBron James, you can hate Tom Brady, you can even hate on Sidney Crosby, but you are forced to respect their game because they are the best of the best. Xplode is no different. He's changed the game. Changed the culture, and it's a damn shame his time is coming to an end next month

Aiello: Well Xplode is not scheduled to appear tonight, but Drake is. He'll be in the Main Event tonight. Bit of an odd Main Event after he was called a chicken and this match kind of came out of nowhere. We also have a massive Hand-Cap match .. a 3 on 1, Women vs Crank match

Carter: Who do women hate more, Donald Trump or Eddie Crank? Its hard to say, but if this crowd is any indication .. I'd say it's about 70% female fans here tonight, all here to boo Eddie Crank and cheer for Adatu, Smalls and Morrison, who are all incredible Wrestlers in the EWC. All three could be champions soon enough too

Bennett: We also have Jack Tillman on the show. A very promising talent that I respect, taking on the cowboy in Jon Sullivan

Aiello: We also have ...

The lights dim down to pitch black, as the crowd erupts not to knowing what to expect. A blue hue raises within the darkness as the lights begin to flicker and flash...

The crowd begins to buzz at the unmistakable sounds of the 2016 Rampage star of the Year.

Aiello: Um…

"Now I lay me down to Sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take."

Carter: It’s Luke Wolfe…

Bennett: Did I fall asleep and wake up on Rampage? Maybe I’ll be interested in what’s going on when Wolfe makes his way over to the A show…

“Enter Sandman” by Metalica begins at the (3:42) mark to mostly boos from the crowd.

After a few moments a spotlight appears on stage illuminating Luke Wolfe standing motionless on stage. But as soon as Wolfe steps out on stage the crowd lets out a loud round of boos! Luke stands on stage with a smile on his face as he holds his EWC World Tag Team Championship in one hand. He is alone, the rest of Legion isn’t with him, no Gabriel, no Annabelle.

Aiello: It would appear he left the rest of his Legion at home.

Carter: I don’t think he is the leader of anything anymore, as Legion I think they recognize themselves as a single unit—

Bennett: Oh SHUT UP Carter! Nobody cares!

Smoke starts to build around him as he trows his hood back off his head, as fire bursts from both corners of the stage! Slowly begins his walk down the entrance ramp toward the ring, with his tag team championship in hand.

Carter: Well they are the tag team champions! Everyone on Brawl better care if they want to bring those titles over to the Red Brand!

Bennett: …Alright I’ll give ya that one.

Luke slowly makes his way down the ramp, passing fans along the way, shouting out into the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp.

Once at the bottom he stops and slaps hands with a few of his fans at Ring Side, even grabbing a sign showing it to the camera, that says "Beware the End is here! Come and See!" He holds it for the camera, and then tosses it behind him. Grinning, looking around getting good and bad responses from the crowd, he slowly walks up to the steps quickly getting to the ring apron and stepping through the ropes. He lays his World Tag Team Title at his feet and he throws his arms open as if to show he is surrounded by an aura of greatness.

He grabs a microphone from ringside as his music fades out. The crowd Immediately speaks up letting Wolfe know exactly what they think of him.

“LUKE WOLFE SUCKS!!!”

“LUKE WOLFE SUCKS!!!”

“LUKE WOLFE SUCKS!!!”

Luke just laughs shaking his head at the crowd reaction.

Luke Wolfe: What??? Didn’t ya MISS ME??? I mean it’s a treat when I show up on THIS piece of shit show!

“BOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Bennett: He better watch it, or I’ll get in the ring and show him what Brawl is all about.

Luke Wolfe: I thought… I would come here tonight and give this bore fest an injection of RAMPAGE!

“BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Luke Wolfe: Well, I don’t expect to get an intelligent response from a bunch of people who sold out an arena for a BRAWL show! If you had any brains in your head at all, you would get your butts out of these seats and buy some tickets to see a REAL wrestling show on Friday nights!!!

“BOOOOOOO!!!”

Wolfe laughs at the reaction from the crowd as he resets and starts over.

Luke Wolfe: But I’m not here tonight to show you the error of your ways when it comes to quality wrestling. I may be your Messiah, but I don’t know if even I can save all of you from that! But now lets get to the reason I am here… I am here because of YOU!

Turning he points to the back.

Luke Wolfe: Because of YOU! All of you in the back! I think that it’s high time that I don’t only take over Rampage, but Brawl as well.

“BOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Luke Wolfe: You all knew this was coming! I have been warning you for the better part of the a year… that I will OWN Rampage and BRAWL! So I’m here to put everyone back there on notice… The Messiah is here and—

“YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!”

Luke Wolfe: Oh for fucks sake…

JTC: Are you done yet???

The crowd ERUPTS as JTC walks out on stage to confront his Rampage rival.

Bennett: I swear! What the hell? Are we in Bizzaroland? Did we just jump over five days and wake up on Rampage?

Aiello: It would appear that JTC had a feeling Wolfe was going to show up tonight.

Bennett: And how could he possibly know about that?

Carter: Well he did spend over a year under the man in that cult of his, I would think he probably has a good understanding of how his mind works.

JTC: You know, I’ve heard just about ENOUGH of this MESSIAH bullshit!!! And I think everyone in the EWC Universe has too!

“YYYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

JTC: EXACTLY… Now—

The crowd can’t contain their excitement as they cut off JTC!

“FALSE MESSIAH!!!”

“FALSE MESSIAH!!!”

“FALSE MESSIAH!!!”

JTC: I know… I know! And I intend to prove it!

Luke laughs rolling his eyes…

JTC: And the words are going to come out of YOUR OWN MOUTH!

Luke Wolfe: I’m gonna say it?

JTC: That’s right! I want you to tell all these people in the arena tonight what you really ARE! You’re nothing but a fast talking con man! A lousy piece of shit who wasted a YEAR of my life that I’ll never get back!

Luke Wolfe: Okay now Listen—

JTC: No! You listen you piece of shit!

“YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!”

JTC starts to make his way down to the ring, making a b-line straight for Wolfe, who walks backwards and leans back in the turnbuckle. As soon as he gets in the ring, Luke steps right up to him and the two meet in the middle looking like they are going to come to blows.

Aiello: It does look like we are going to be treated to a little dose of Rampage tonight on Brawl!

JTC lifts his mic, but Luke covers it shaking his head no.

Luke Wolfe: Jonathan… You were a good soldier. You were my most devout disciple, and we had a good run… But you had to know it was gonna end sometime. I TRIED!

Luke Wolfe: I TRIED! To spare you from the devastation that was coming! I TRIED to just let you walk away! And how did you repay me??? By piledriving me through the announcers table—

“YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

JTC: Your damn right I did!

Luke Wolfe: I’m sorry… I really am… That I had to make an example out of you the following week. Anarchy’16 is dead… and from the ashes rose Legion, and we showed the WORLD just what happens when you think you can take cheap shots at me. I was going to leave it right there, you could walk away… but you keep coming at me… and I can’t let that slide…. And now… It’s time that you go away. No one will ever speak your name again.

JTC rolls his eyes, shaking his head.

JTC: As long as I live, I will NEVER stop coming at you for what you did! For the way you betrayed ALL of us who believed you were some kind of savior! You will NEVER get rid of me!

Luke Wolfe: Is that so…

JTC: Yes… It is.

Luke Wolfe: You see I thought you would say that… So here is what I propose. You want your shot at me? You want to be the one to take me down? You want your chance? I’ll give you a chance…

“JTC!!!”

“JTC!!!”

“JTC!!!”

Luke Wolfe: At Hardcore Revolution… I will give you what you want, you can have me… in the ring… one on one.

JTC: YOUR ON!

Luke Wolfe: BUT! I have ONE condition… AFTER it’s over, AFTER I win… you leave and you NEVER come back! You’re career is OVER! If I beat you… and I will… You will simply vanish, and no one will ever remember your name.

JTC stops for a only a moment, but the confidence never leaves his eyes.

Luke Wolfe: And you will give it up willingly… because this match… will be an I QUIT MATCH! You will go willingly! Never to be heard from or seen again.

Pauses for a moment… and then nods his head yes…

Bennett: It looks like we might have a match at Hardcore Revolution!

JTC: Okay… Fine, but WHEN I beat you. WHEN you say those words “I Quit!”….You will say what I, and ALL these people want to hear you say… You WILL confess to the ENTIER world that you are NO Messiah! You’re NOT a savior! You’re just Luke Wolfe… A lonely, broken down, depressed man who needs people to believe he is something he is not to keep himself from putting a gun in his mouth at night! You will tell EVERYONE!

JTC points out into the crowd.

JTC: You will tell everyone… From out own mouth, that you are NOT the Messiah! And… you will do it willingly, because you will say the words “I Quit”…and you will QUIT all these BULL SHIT games you play with people! You will NEVER do to another person what you did to me! After you say it, after I make you quit, and you confess! …THEN… This will be over! I’ll see you at Hardcore Revolution.

JTC drops the mike as his music hits, Jonathan’s eyes never leave Luke’s as he locks in a dead stare. After a few moments, an evil smile grows across Luke’s face.

Carter: Well that’s it! It happened here on Brawl! But it looks like we will see Jonathan Thomas Cross and Luke Wolfe in an I Quit Match at Hardcore Revolution and the steaks couldn’t be any higher for either man!

Aiello: Can you imagine! Luke Wolfe having to come out and say that he is NOT the Messi—

Suddenly JTC’s music stops as the lights go out! The lights flicker and flash in the darkness as we hear the sound of thunder. After about 15 seconds, the lights come back on and JTC is in the ring by himself! Cross lets out a laugh, with his hands on his hips shaking his head. He picks up the microphone…

JTC: LUKE! At Hardcore Revolution! …There will be no where to run! No where to hide! There will be no one to save you! After Hardcore Revolution, NO ONE… will EVER “Behold” the sound of thunder ever again!

He drops the Mic and steps out of the ring as the crowd ERUPTS!

Carter: Ladies and Gentlemen we need to cut to a commercial break, but don't go anywhere we'll be right back with our first match of the night!

SHOW OPENER
CHASE REX
VS JOHN BLADE

---

---

An absolutely excellent match from start to finish. John Blade came out with a ton of energy, the most we have seen out of him in his career. He wanted this win, the fans were behind him the entire time and he dominated early. However when Razor Blade didn't go the way John wanted, Chase took over. It was like the mad-man inside came out to play and never looked back.

It took Memory Lapse, Goodbye and Goodnight and finally Birmingham's Finest to put John Blade down for the count. Chase Rex looked very impressive in his debut, but John Blade took some incredible steps forward tonight and has the fans and even President Mac singing his praises

We want a sequel to this match. 

WINNER: Chase Rex

---

SETH
VS EMMA LOUISE

---

---

This match did not start well for Emma Louise as Seth used his massive size difference to really control the pace of the night. Emma had a hard time connecting on several punches and moves as Seth proved to be too big and heavy for Emma.

Things looked finished once Seth landed Hello From The Main Island on Emma, but that's actually where the tables turned. Seth took his time going for the pin, showing a lack of endurance as a major flaw of the match. Emma, a seasoned vet, pounced at the opportunity and finally managed to get some offense in on Seth.

It took a few attempts and a number of kicks to the midsection, but Emma finally landed "Girl Crush" on Seth and went for the quick pin for 3. It was a tough start, but Emma proved she had the ability to hang in and adapt to the situation of being much smaller than her opponent. Seth looked fantastic but like the Falcons of the NFL, couldn't close out the match.

WINNER: Emma Louise

We open up backstage where Ace Heart is standing by with Jack Tillman

Ace: We are here with Jack Tillman. Jack you are moments away from your match against Jon Sullivan. Last week you suffered a loss at the hands of

Jack grabs the mic away from Ace

Tillman: I don't need to be reminded Ace. Chris Constantine showed me the tapes over and over again. He made me study. He made me watch what went wrong, and I can assure you, it wont happen again here tonight. I will win. You can bet on it

Ace: We know that Chris often does the talking for you, but you are on the cusp of a 4th win and we ...

Tillman: I do my talking in the ring. I focus on getting better day by day, not wasting time talking trash about my opponents. Some talk, some fight. I like to fight. I like being in the ring and after tonight, people will start talking about Jack Tillman. People will start to see that it's my time.

Jack throws the mic back at Ace and walks off down the hall towards the entrance for the ramp when he sees Eddie Crank coming down the hall with his crew

Jack moves slightly to the side allowing them to pass but Eddie makes it appoint to purposely bump into Jack

Crank: Watch where ye going, little bitch

Tillman: What the hell did you just say to me?

Crank: Ye heard what I fookin said. Ye a little bitch. Go hide behind ye manager and shut ye mouth. Bitch

Tillman goes to take a swing at Crank but he is quickly grabbed by security who turn him around towards the ramp

Tillman: Watch your back Crank ... watch your back

Crank laughs off the comments and continues walking

JON SULLIVAN
VS JACK TILLMAN

---

---

Aiello: Wow, tensions running high backstage once again as Jack Tillman and Eddie Crank have absolutely no love for each other. Speaking of Tillman, up next we have Jon Sullivan taking on Jack. Jack is looking for his fed leading 4th win tonight, and wanting to get back into the win column after picking up a surprising loss last week

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from Chicago, Illinois… Weighing in at 210 pounds… JACK “THE RIPPER” TILLMAN!!!

The lights dim down as Out Of Black by Royal Blood begins to play throughout the arena. The arena erupts with a mix of cheers and boos as Jack Tillman comes walking out with a death stare in his eyes. Concentrated on the match at hand, Jack makes his way down to the ring. Making it to the steel stairs, he stands for for a few seconds, mentally getting himself ready for the match. As he stands there, the fans behind him begin to chant.

HE IS WRESTLING!.........(clap, clap, clapclapclap)......HE IS WRESTLING!..........(clap, clap, clapclapclap.......HE IS WRESTLING!

The fans continue to chant as Jack places a mouth guard in his mouth and makes his way up the steel steps. Stepping inside the ring, Jack stands in he middle of he ring and makes a throat slash with his thumb as black, white, and red streamers come flying into the ring from the fans. Ring staff quickly begin to collect the streamers as Jack walks over to a corner and gets ready for his match.

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent, from San Antonio, TX weighing in at 240 Lbs… “The Outlaw”…JON SULLIVAN!!!
 
Suddenly, across the speakers you hear a voice “Yoo hoo, I’ll make you Famous.” And then the sound of two colt peacemakers going off. Just as the opening riffs to “Billy Get Your Guns” – By Bon Jovi begins playing. Smoke fills the entrance as we see the silhouette of a man in a cowboy hat and duster step out.

As the smoke clears, we see The Outlaw Jon Sullivan, standing in his classic black duster and hat with his trade mark skull jaw bandana across his mouth. He throws one fist in the air as red Pyro explodes behind him as he ambles down to the ring. Stopping in the front row, he gives his bandana to one of the kids or a pretty girl depending on his mood before sliding under the bottom ropes and into the ring.

Once in the ring he climbs the turnbuckle throwing one fist in the air again before jumping down, taking off his duster and hat he puts them in the corner then turns to wait for his opponent.

DING! DING! DING! 

Sullivan and Tillman stare each other down as they both slowly make their way to the middle of the ring. Once there neither moves a muscle, neither says a word…

Aiello: You can cut the tension with a knife…

Carter: It didn’t take much for these two men to become bitter rivals but just the look in both of their eyes tells the story.

Bennett: You insult a man’s family and it becomes personal, you slap a man across the face and walk away… well that’s just asking for an ass kicking.

Sullivan throws the first punch! It rocks Tillman and it’s followed by a second and a third! Backing up Tillman into the corner, Sullivan whips Tillman to the otherside of the ring, but Tillman reverses it and it’s Sullivan to SLAMS hard into the corner! He hits it with such force that he bounces out and you can hear he shout out “GAHH!” as he holds his lower back, coming at him with a head of steam is Tillman who clothslines Sullivan down!

Sullivan is quickly back to his feet however and the two lock up in the collar and elbow tie up! Jockeying for position, Sullivan slides Tillman into a side head lock but Tillman quickly shoves Sullivan off and he bounces off the ropes and knocks Tillman down with a shoulder block! Sullivan hits the ropes once again, and Tillman slides underneath, as Sullivan bounces off the other side he get’s nails with a dropkick to the face, taking The Outlaw down! Sullivan rolls over grabbing at his jaw.

Carter: Tillman just took control of this match, he can’t give Sullivan a chance to recover!

Bennett: Sullivan is no slouch, but Tillman was on fire coming into the EWC, it’s hard to say what will happen from here.

Tillman wastes no time as he grabs Sullivan picking him up off the ground, he hooks him for a suplex and snaps it off! Smashing Sullivan to the mat! Sullivan tries to catch his breath by grabbing the ropes to pull himself up, but Tillman grabs Sullivan around the waist and nails a hard German Suplex and holds Sullivan for the pin!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
KICKOUT!!!

Sullivan powers out of the German, to a seated position holding the back of his head. Tillman grabs Sullivan only to get three hard forearm shots to the mid section from Sullivan! Tillman stumbles back and gets a kick to the midsection and Sullivan lands a DDT planting Tillman’s head into the mat! With a second finally to catch his breath, as Tillman recovers Sullivan leans into the turnbuckle. With Tillman dazed Sullivan quickly looks up and heads to the top rope! He leaps off the top landing an elbow drop onto Tillman and goes for the cover!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
KICKOUT!!!

Aiello: A nice set of near falls for both men, it’s looking like we might be headed back to a stalemate.

Sullivan backs up into the corner, waiving for Tillman to get to his feet. Tillman… in a daze slowly gets up with his back to Sullivan when he turns around Sullivan looks for “Home on the Range” but Tillman manages to duck it! Sullivan turns around and Tillman hits him with the STO, taking Sullivan down to the ground! He spins to the top and locks Sullivan in a rear headlock!

As Sullivan attempts to catch his breath, Tillman brings down a series of elbow shots down on the head of Sullivan! Dazed Sullivan still manages to get himself to his knees, he gives Tillman a few elbow shots to the stomach to try to get out of the hold, he shoves Tillman off who bounces off the ropes! An unsuspecting Tillman gets caught on the chin with “HOME ON THE RANGE!!!”

Bennett: Sullivan may have just set the stage to finish off Tillman!

Sullivan signals for the end, as he picks up Tillman and sets him up for The Devil’s Drop, he turns him over, and Tillman shoves his way out of it, and but keeps a hold of Sullivan’s hand and completely LEVELS him with THE BALLROOM BLITZ!!!!

Aiello: I don’t believe it! Tillman just turned it completely around and damn near took Sullivan’s head off!!!

Tillman shocks everyone by not going for the pin as he picks Sullivan up from behind by one arm, and then locks in THE RECLUSE!!! Tillman drops into it, and locks it in tight in the middle of the ring!

Carter: Sullivan has no where to go!

Bennett: After the Ball Room Blitz I’m not even sure that Sullivan knows where he is in the ring!

With a dazed look in his eye, Sullivan’s arm sways looking around for the ropes, but he soon realizes he has no chance as the ref asks him if he wants to give it up… and SULLIVAN TAPS OUT!!!

DING! DING! DING! 

Jessica Stroup: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!!! JACK…THE RIPPER… TILLMAN!!!

Aiello: Tillman has done it! It looked like Sullivan had Tillman right where he wanted him, but out of the jaws of defeat he was able to grab victory!

Carter: After the Ball Room Blitz, and the excruciating pain of The Recluse I’m sure Sullivan decided it was time to fight again another day. Today was Tillman’s day…

Bennett: This was an evenly contested match from start to finish, I’m sure we will see these two in the ring again.

Jack Tillman calls for a mic and while breathing heavily starts to speak

Tillman: Eddie Crank, I know your watching this backstage right now. I know you'll be out here in a few moments .. I am not the kind of guy you can push and insult, and just take it. I will not be treated with that kind of disrespect, especially from a coward like you. 

Jack pauses to collect his breath and thoughts

Tillman: Four wins, that's one more than you right now .. and I think those four wins are proof that I am a better competitor than you. If Mac is listening .. I know Hardcore Revolution is only two weeks away, but I am throwing my name into the mix, I want Eddie Crank .. one on one .. title or no title, I don't care. It's time for someone to shut Eddie up once and for all. 

Tillman drops the mic and heads up the ramp

Carter: Well there you go folks, Jack Tillman will not be pushed around and wants to settle things in the ring with Eddie. 

Bennett: Good on Jack for doing this. He's had his fair share of run-ins back stage as of late, but he has earned a shot at Eddie and that title. I hope it gets booked

Aiello: Folks we will be back with more BRAWL after these messages

NON TITLE HANDI-CAP MATCH
ADATU URAKIH, KIMI SMALLS
& ALEXIS MORRISON
VS EDDIE CRANK

---

---

Aiello: Here we go folks. For those who missed last weeks Monday Night Brawl, you missed out on Eddie Crank pissing off an entire gender. Sunrise is packed with very angry female fans tonight, as they are out for blood. Plus you have Adatu, Smalls and Morrison .. all incredible talents on their own .. teaming together to beat on the X-Division Champion. Incredible booking. Incredible. 

Carter: I've never seen a 3 on 1 Hand-Cap match Joe. This is a first for me

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is a three on one handicap match and is—

Jessica is suddenly cut off by a video on the jumbotron and the lights go low…

Moments later when "Come with Me" came blasting over the speakers once more. The crowd knew by now who this was there was a mix crowd reaction for the slowly forming new stable within the company. Up on the screen was Jason Hunter once again sitting in office desk as he had four masks in front of him. The four masks were in Red, Green, Golden and Yellow. In the center of each of the masks painted was playing card. Red had the playing card of a Queen of Clubs in the center. The Green had the playing card of a Queen of Heart, The Golden had the playing card of a Queen of Diamonds, and The Yellow had the playing card of a Queen of Spade.

Jason picked up the red mask and playfully place it over his face. He moved his head to the side and then he moved his head to the other side as he then slowly removed it from his face with a soft smile on his face. He placed the mask down on the table as he picked up the Queen of Diamonds masks up with his hand. Just before he began to speak Joss Stone's cover of "It's A Man's World" started to play under his words.

Jason Hunter: You see, I had mentioned just last night on Future Star of Wrestling how the Queen of Diamonds was on that show. How that she is a woman that strong and overcome many things within her life. You see all of the Queens of the Royal Court are strong in their own little way. They all had to do things in order to prove that not only to themselves but for others around them to realize they are strong women among them.

Jason leaned back in his chair a bit as he tapped his fingers a bit on the desk a bit.

Jason Hunter: Many here in EWC have many different views when it comes to the women of this company. Some may feel that some of them may not be fit to be wrestlers. They may feel that some of them should be home in the kitchen and that is their only job in life. They have yet to seem to understand something, though. The world around them has changed and this world has changed because of the power of what a woman can do. I am not just saying that either. Just think about some of the things that have happened within this company. Some of the history that has been made here wasn't only because of the males within this company. It also has happened because of the fact we have some of the best female wrestlers out there. It amazing how our own President doesn't see them as "female" wrestlers.

Jason pauses for a moment, smirking.

Jason Hunter: No. He sees them as simply just a wrestler. He doesn't look at the sex of the person when he signs them to his company. He has let every person here no matter what their sex, faith, creed, race, or even gender. He has given anyone and everyone a chance to get inside of that ring. In the past, this company may have been the first to ever have a transgender wrestler within its company walls. This person was one of the best wrestlers we had inside of that ring. You see that is why EVERYONE comes to EWC. We kind of welcome anyone to the company. Ahem... hence the fact that John Blade is here.

Jason smirked, letting out a small chuckle.

Jason Hunter: Now tonight on BRAWL, one of the members of the Royal Court is about to make herself known. Our true leader... Because she doesn't need a man to hide behind. Someone that the EWC is very proud to call its own.

Jason held up the mask with a bit of a smirk as he moved his head to the side.

Jason Hunter: The Queen of Clubs is a woman who worked hard in her life. Not because she needed to. Because she chose to. She could have had everything handed to her in life, but she didn't want to live that way. Everything that she has, she has earned. She is a woman whom people have so many negative views about and she has fought with everything within her body to prove them wrong. For most of her entire run in FSW, she was handed easy matches against women who actually did have no business there. You see what I did there, Eddie? I fully admitted that not just any woman has what it takes to be a part of the Extreme Wrestling Corporation. This woman does, though. Just like her partners. This woman clawed her way to where she is now when she could have easily bought her way into it. She going to do just that like she have always done in that ring tonight. Tonight a certain wrestler... is going to wish he never contemplated facing her wrath. My Queen has faced many in the past who felt because of her little pretty face that she was nothing. They felt she was too soft. They felt that she couldn't make it as a wrestler but she has proven them wrong time and time again. And even again after that! She is ready to let everyone know why she is one of the best wrestlers in this company. She is ready to let everyone see why she is the Future of this company.

Jason Hunter stood up as he walked around his desk as he looked down at the mask within his hand running his fingers across the front of it. He placed a kiss on the forehead part of the mask looking at the screen with a grin as the song faded out.

Jason Hunter: One.. for All.... and All for one!!!!

Jason threw the mask at the screen as "Won't Back Down" - Eminem ft. Pink came blasting over the speakers as Kimi Smalls is stood on the top of the ramp with her back towards the crowd with her jacket on with the Queen of Clubs across her back. She turned around slowly, removing the mask off her face, the camera momentarily catching a look of frustration and disdain on her face before she put on her "game face" and threw it out towards the crowd with an evil smirk on her face. As the chorus begins, she runs down, high fiving as many fans that will let her as possible. She makes her way all around the ring before jumping up onto the apron and launches herself over the ropes. She bounces up and down a little and takes off the jacket, handing it to the timekeeper before going over to a corner and does a roundoff/back handspring combo before stretching out a little more, getting ready for the match.

Jessica Stroup: Introducing first inside the ring from Brooklyn, New York City, New York weighing in at 135 Lbs… She is “The Queen of Clubs!” … KIMI SMALLS!!!

A low tone beat mixed with an electric guitar sounds through the arena for a few seconds before going full force over the sound system. Cameras get a close up of the big screen as the Anti-Starlet logo is presented in until transitions into a video of the music video and clips of Alexis Morrison. This plays for a few minutes before entering fading back to an foggy entrance way. Out of the smoke, "The Anti-Starlet" Alexis Morrison walks onto the stage wearing a leather jacket, her blonde hair falls behind the woman, and she walks down.

Jessica Stroup: And her tag team partner, weighing in at 125 Lbs… She is “The Anti-Starlet” ….ALEXIS MORRISON!!!

She stops, looks at the ring for a moment, circles it halfway before pulling herself onto the apron, giving a menacing stare back toward the crowd. Alexis climbs into ring with attitude, going straight to her respected corner taking off her black leather jacket while keeping an eye on things.

Jessica Stroup: And her the third member of the team, from Musashino, Tokyo, and Toledo, Ohio weighing in at 150 Lbs… “The Tyrant of Tokyo”… Adatu Urakih!!!

Jessica Stroup: And their opponent, from Dublin, Ireland… He is the EWC X-Division Champion… “THE WHIZZER” EDDIE CRANK!!!

DING! DING! DING!

The three women talk among themselves in their corner clearly devising their game plan, as Crank stands ready to go to work over in his.

Carter: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Bennett: Yeah, it’s one thing to get on the bad side of one woman, but three? And lets be honest, these days women are every bit on the same level as the men. This is a three on one match, Crank has his work cut out for him. I hope he came ready for an uphill climb.


Aiello: He looks focused as ever, and he is gonna have ta be to win this one, cuz the odds are not in his favor. X-Division Champion or not, he is in for battle tonight that will be every bit as tough as those X-Division Matches.

Bennett: How would you know? We always send you away…

They three women decide to start this thing off with Kimi Smalls in the ring with Crank. Prepared or not, Crank as always feels the need to antagonize his opponent before locking up, and Kimi is not amused, and she NAILS HIM WITH A KICK BELOW THE BELT!!! Crank falls to his knees, and the ref grabs Kimi pushing her back, warning her that he will disqualify every single one of them if she tries anything like that again! Kimi pleads with the ref, assuring him that it was a kick to the midsection, but the ref tells her to watch it!

Bennett: OHHHH! Not a good way to start this one!

Carter: Like I said… Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Aiello: Looks like the ref is gonna let it go though.

The ref tells Kimi to get back as he checks on Crank, but Kimi shoves the ref out of the way and starts pounding down on the head of Eddie Crank forcing him backwards into a defenseless position! The ref pulls her off warning her again! “WHAT THE FUCK???” Kimi screams back at the ref, as he again goes to check on Crank. The women in her corner also scream out in frustration as the ref checks on Crank. Kimi clearly irritated with her hands on her hips screams at the ref, “CAN HE COME OUT TO PLAY NOW???” The ref claps his hands and tells the two they can get it on!

Aiello: It would appear as if the ladies believe that the ref is showing Crank a little favoritism…

Carter: Ya think?

Bennett: She kicks the man straight in the nuts and THEY are upset?

Smalls waves for Crank to “bring it” and he comes at her with a stiff clothsline but Kimi ducks it! She springboards off the middle rope into a moonsault, and catches Crank into a modified reverse DDT!!! She goes for the cover!!!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
KICKOUT!!!

Aiello: Kimi clearly has Crank on the ropes here!

Carter: He did seem to be a tad over confident coming into the match.

Bennett: Oh I don’t know he prematch routine seemed like he was taking it seriously…

Carter: But he couldn’t stop himself from talking trash to Kimi Smalls…

Kimi picks up Crank whipping him into their corner and she tags in Morrison, she hits Crank with three shots to the gut knocking the wind out of him and then sets him on the top rope. She climbs to the top rope and brings him down with a top rope frankenstiener!!! Crank goes down, but quickly rolls out of the ring to try to get some distance and catch his breath, but Morrison anticipated this move and she flies through the middle rope with a suicide dive!!! She crashes into Crank and the fans ERUPT! As she throws him to the ground off of him! Picking him up, she gets body shots to the mid section from Crank who tries to fight out of it, but she nails him with a knee to the midsection! Crank pulls off of her, and ends up wandering into the corner of the women and Urakih runs along the apron and kicks Crank square in the face!!!

“OHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Bennett: Holy shit! I think everyone in the arena felt that one!

Morrison picks up Crank and tosses him in the ring. Urakih tags herself in, and Alexis turns a little confused. Urakih assures her everything is okay, but as the two women discuss what just happened Crank comes up from behind and grabs Morrison and throws her over the top rope! He gives Kimi the finger, as Urakih gets in the ring. Kimi becomes infuriated and tries to get in the ring, but the ref grabs her and tells her to get back outside! Urakih turns her back telling Kimi that everything is fine, as she tries to separate the ref from Smalls…

Bennett: Joe, you might wanna look away, it looks like Crank is about to go X-Division on these ladies…

With the ref’s back turned Crank pulls a metal plate out of his gear and slides it into a small pocket ontop of the padding on Crank’s glove loading it with some heavy weight. As Urakih turns around, he NAILS her in the face with it, and she goes down like a ton of bricks! Crank goes for the quick cover and cheap victory!!!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
Alexis pulls Crank out of the ring under the bottom rope and she delivers a solid forearm shot to the face of The Whizzer! Crank stumbles back falling to one knee! Alexis grabs Crank and whips him into the steel steps and he tries to side step them but he moves a moment too late and ends up crashing into them knees first and flipping over top of the stairs! Alexis comes over and pulls off the loaded glove off of Crank and waves for him to get up! Crank, stirring slowly makes it to his feet and Morrison swings with everything she’s got but Crank ducks and she ends up hitting Kimi Smalls who has made her way over to get her hands on Crank!

“OHHHHH!!!”

Aiello: Oh! Major backfire on the ladies there!

Crank, laughing rolls back into the ring expecting Urakih to still be down, but he gets to his feet and backs up right into her as she stands tall behind him! She immediately grabs him and goes for SCREAM!!! But Crank manages to slip out of it! She turns looking for a collar and elbow tie up but Crank is on the stick and move nailing a few body blows as he moves about the ring! She goes for the tie up again and he once again slips it but this time she anticipated it and nails him with roundhouse kick!!! Crank falls to the ground rolling trying to get his wits about him. Morrison and Smalls are now arguing on the outside as Alexis tries to explain hitting her was an accident. Urakih again walks over looking to break up the argument, she slides out of the ring as the three once again get on the same page. But before they know it Crank dives over the top rope down onto all three women!!! He jumps up screaming as the fans hop to their feet!

Aiello: These ladies better all get on the same page or Crank is going to methodically take them down one by one!

Bennett: It looks to me like Smalls wants the other girls to fall in line here, this was her big moment, you saw the way she came to the ring.

The ref begins to count the ladies out as Crank rolls back into the ring, pointing at the ref to count them out. He stands in the corner as they make it back to their feet. Suddenly it would appear as if all the women are on the same page as each of them grabs a side of the ring nearly surrounding Crank. He looks around on all sides. All three get in the ring at the same time and each comes at Crank in their own way! Kimi is the first to nail him with a superkick! He bounces off right into Alexis Morrison who hits him with a running spinning heel kick! Crank goes down but pops back up out of instinct right into Urakih! And she hits him with SCREAM!!! Crank is down, and Urakih goes for the cover! But the Ref is busy getting the two other women out of the ring! Urakih screams at the ref! Slamming her hand on the mat over and over two three counts in succession! But the ref is still in the corner of the ladies! Urakih sees that the ref is about to turn around and she hooks his leg as far back as it will go as he coils up!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
.
THRE— KICKOUT!!!

Urakih cant believe it!!!! She sits up slamming her fist on the mat, grabbing the ref by the shirt shouting about how she had him for at least a ten count! But the ref insists it was a two count! Pushing her off he warns her about putting her hands on an official!

Carter: You know on paper, you would think that this three on one match should have been easy pickins for these three women, the problem lies in the fact that each one of them wants a piece of him and only one can have him at a time!

Bennett: Well they better get their shit together they had this match won more then once already.

Crank, who has to be dragged to his feet can barely stand, Urakih whips him into the turnbuckle adjacent to theirs and he falls to a seated position. She walks over to her corner and before she can tag either woman in Kimi tags herself in climbing to the top rope! Urakih a little upset, steps out onto the apron, where Morrison talks her down.

Aiello: What is Kimi Smalls up to?

Kimi Smalls jumps into the air and goes coast to coast onto Eddie Crank drop kicking him in the face!!! The crowd ERUPTS!!!

“HOLY SHIT!!!”

“HOLY SHIT!!!”

“HOLY SHIT!!!”

Bennett: That was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Carter: I had NO IDEA that Smalls was capable of that!

Kimi jumps back to her feet roaring as adrenalin pumps through her veins! Crank slumped over in the corner has no idea where he is, and Kimi grabs Crank by the hair and drags him to the middle of the ring. She points to the turnbuckle and she climbs up… She steadies herself on the top rope, but before she leaps Urakih tags her leg! She lands a PERFECT moonsault right onto Eddie Crank and hooks his leg!!! The ref waves it off though, Kimi argues telling the ref to count! The ref informs her that Urakih who is now in the ring, had tagged herself in before her leap. Kimi now clearly upset walks over glaring at Urakih as she walks back to her corner.

Carter: Ladies keep it together.

Aiello: If it weren’t for Alexis in that corner I’m not sure that this wouldn’t have broken down into a brawl between the ladies already.

Crank is all but limp, as she picks him up… but he quickly shows that he is somewhat playing possum as he rolls her into a small package!!!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
The pin is broken up by Alexis Morrison who looks back at Kimi on the apron who didn’t move a muscle to help Urakih. The two argue on the apron, Kimi making the argument that Alexis was already headed in! Crank stumbling, using the ropes to pull himself to his feet, he turns around and Urakih throws a punch that grazes Crank who quickly spins and lands a NASTY WHIZZER BLIZZARD!!! Urakih falls to the mat, like her lights had just been turned out! But Crank loses his balance and he too falls to the mat! The ref checks Urakih as Crank lays on the ground breathing heavy, trying to get his wits about him.

Bennett: HOLY FUCK! Goodnight Urakih!

Aiello: If only Crank could capitalize!

Alexis steps into the ring, grabbing Urakih by the wrist and drags her over to their corner, and she tags in… the ref warns her about getting in the ring, but he allows the tag. Alexis stands waiting for Crank to make it to his feet, as she runs looking for 20 EYES!!! But Crank ducks it, and hooks her high leg wrapping his arms around her, and sends her over his head in an elevated belly to belly suplex!!! Crank still trying to get his wind, gets up about the same time as Alexis and they lock up in the collar and elbow! She lifts him into the chickening gut buster! Knocking the wind out of him! She grabs his foot dragging him over to their corner as she reaches out for a tag.

Carter: Alexis seems to be the only thing holding this team together.

Urakih tags in, and Alexis steps out… but Kimi immediately tags herself in by tagging the back of Urakih! Kimi gets in paying no attention to her, but Urakih spins her around and the two begin to argue! Alexis gets in the ring, trying to separate the two before it comes to blows… Kimi and Urakih spout off at each other as Alexis holds them apart… Crank has gotten to his hands and knees and he quickly rolls up Smalls! Alexis has her back turned as she tries to talk some sense into Urakih, unaware of what is happening….

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
THREE!!!

DING! DING! DING!

Bennett: I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!

Carter: Crank did it!

Aiello: He saw the dissension happening between the women and he exploited it at the right moment!

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner… EDDIE CRANK!!!

Kimi Smalls sits up, shocked and in awe of what has just happened, as Crank quickly rolls out of the ring, grabbing his X-Division title throwing it on his shoulder as he backs up the ramp, waving “bye-bye” to the ladies in the ring.

BOOS begin to reign down on Eddie Crank and he responds by giving everyone the middle finger

Kimi slowly gets to her feet with fire in her eyes… Urakih exits the ring not even acknowledging Smalls. Alexis stands in the ring, shaking her head with Smalls.

Disappointed you can tell Alexis is frustrated with the lack of team work between the three. Kimi doesn’t say one word, she just stares Alexis in the eyes, suddenly gives her a kick to the midsection and then delivers THE NEW LEGEND to Morrison!!! To an eruption of BOOOOOS from the crowd as she exits the ring.

Aiello: What the hell happened here?

Bennett: Crank got the better of them that’s what happened.

Carter: I don’t think anyone expects Alexis to just let this be… Smalls just might have just crossed the wrong person.

Alexis rolls over leaning on the bottom rope, watching as Smalls exits the arena. If looks could kill…

Eddie Crank is just leaving the ramp heading to the backstage area while being cheered on by his personal fan base 

As he turns the corner, Jack Tillman is standing and waiting for Eddie. 

Crank: What the fook do you want lass? 



Tillman: Don't act like you didn't hear me in the ring, you and me .. Hardcore Revolution .. 

Eddie Crank starts to laugh at Tillman, which gets Tillman pretty angry

Crank: You aint fit to clean me boots .. get the fook out before ye get knocked out

Crank makes a fist towards Tillman, and Tillman is quick to retaliate by landing a quick left punch followed by a headbutt to the face of Crank. An all out brawl then breaks out between the two as security and near by wrestlers try to separate the two

Once separated both men appear to be bloodied from fists and being rammed into the cement wall and floor. Security holds both of them back, while the medics come in quick to clean up both men

Crank: Ye are fooking crazy .. I'm going to fookin kill you at Hardcore Revolution. Fookin kill you

Tillman: Bring it asshole .. I'll be ready

The scene fades with the two being pulled in opposite directions

[MNB]

We open inside the training room at the Sunrise Facility. Andrew Jackson is spotted watching BRAWL while getting ready for a paint ball charity event with the Miami Dolphins later this week

Things get interesting as Alexis Morrison walks into the training room along with a personal trainer who is helping her with some muscle pain after her match tonight

Jackson: Well well well .. look who we have here

Morrison: I don't have the time, nor do I have the patience to deal with you right now

Jackson: I saw the match ...

Morrison: I lived it. No need to talk about it.

Jackson: Look, I'm only looking out for what's best for the fed, and Eddie went too far last week. I didn't expect him to win

Morrison: Don't you have somewhere to be? Something to do? You are the last person I feel like being around right now

Jackson: Nope

Jackson smiles as Morrison is clearly annoyed

Morrison: This whole "best for the fed" .. boy scout routine is stale and very Drake. Maybe you should spend less time with paintball and more time becoming your own person

Jackson smiles again. He nods and packs up his stuff

Jackson: I'm gonna let you have the room, before you say something you can't take back

Morrison: Why exactly aren't you fighting tonight? Oh right, ratings

Jackson pauses at the door and then turns back for a second

Jackson: You know, you should be lucky that I'm such a good guy .. 

Morrison: I'm sorry, I don't speak hasbeen or neverwas. Bye now.

Jackson bits his lip and slams his hand against the door hard. Morrison looks back at Jackson but Jackson just walks away

NON TITLE MATCH

TSUJIRI

VS DRAKE

---

---

Aiello: Jackson and Morrison certainly have been at each other in recent weeks. Especially in this whole Drake Vs Xplode situation. Folks, as you already know, this is our final BRAWL until March 6th, as we have Hardcore Revolution coming up in just two weeks. Coming up next, is our Main Event, and it promises to be a good one

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is your MAIN EVENT of the Evening! Introducing first from Tokyo, Japan weighing in at 189 Lbs… THE JAPANESE CHAINSAW… Toshihiro Tsujiri!!!

“Imperial City' – Jesus Mercedes hits and he makes his way to the ring.

Jessica Stroup: And his 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 hooded man, his eyes ready for battle. The fans erupt into a frenzy as the man removes the hood, revealing his face.

Explosions rocket from the stage, catching the fans off guard as "The Vengeful One" by Disturbed begins to play! Stepping into view, 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! Weighing in at 210 pounds, he is the EWC International Champion.. DRAKE!!!

Nodding his head, Drake 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, Drake hops up to the ring apron and remains in place.. looking out at the fans around him. He then walks along the outside of the ring and ascends the turnbuckle, looking out at the fans as they offer their support! Drake slowly unbuckles his championship and raises it above his head for all to see!

Nodding his head once again, Drake 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 Drake ascends a turnbuckle, finding a seat on the top pad. The fans continue to cheer as the theme song comes to an end.

Bennett: What a fucking joke…

Carter: What? Tsujiri asked for a shot last week… the brass are gonna give him a chance to prove himself.

Aiello: Tsujiri wasn’t much of a match last week for Anthony Grunge.

Bennett: And now he gets a shot at the International Champion?

Carter: It’s not a title match Steve…

Bennett: I don’t care, this match has no business even being card, much less being the main event! Fine! Lets see Drake make short work of his goof. I feel like I’m over on RAMPAGE again! Jesus! For fucks sake!

DING! DING! DING! 

Drake walks to the center of the ring, as does Tsujiri. Drake smiles looking around the arena, and then offers his hand to Tsujiri, but he grins shaking his head no, garnering a loud round of boos from the crowd. Drake just laughs to himself, as Tsujiri takes a couple steps back…. He quickly looks to catch Drake off guard with a roundhouse kick! But Drake catches his foot, and the look on Drake’s face says… It’s showtime… Drake grabs the ankle of Tsujiri, flipping him over, but Tsujiri rebounds and hand springs and kicks off Drake, who stumbles backwards into the ropes! A bit stunned that he didn’t see that coming, Drake leans on the ropes shaking it off. He gives Tsujiri a little round of applause.

Aiello: Maybe Tsujiri did bring something to the table after-all…

Carter: It’s possible that he may have been looking past Grunge last week onto—

Bennett: Past Grunge… before he even knew if he was going to EVER get a match with Drake? Oh for fuck sake.

Drake and Tsujiri meet in the middle of the ring, and they tie up! Tsujiri hooks Drake in a headlock easily shoved off by Drake but Tsujiri counters with a spinning back handspring bouncing off the ropes into a back elbow! Drake is taken off his feet, as Tsujiri looks for a moosault from the second rope but catches Drake’s knees to his stomach! Drake makes it to his feet, picking up a doubled over Tsujiri…

Bennett: Okay… playtime is over.

Drake picks up the Japanese chainsaw and throws him overhead with a T-Bone Suplex!!! Drake quickly spins back to one knee getting to his feet, as he again grabs Tsujiri and sends him into the ropes! He NAILS him in the gut with a knee, and Tsujiri flips over landing in a seated position! Holding his stomach. Drake picks up the Japanese wrestler and he signals for the Death Note DDT! But Tsujiri spins out of it and sprays green mist into the eyes of the International Champion!!! Drake falls to one knee, grabbing at his eyes! Tsujiri looks around the arena and he hits the ropes looking for the Chainsaw Kick! But Drake ducks it! Grabbing his legs he sweeps him to the ground shoulders to the mat! And holds him for the pin!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
KICKOUT!!!

Aiello: I hate to say this but Tsujiri has Drake on the ropes!

Bennett: He spit poison in his eyes!!! Tsujiri shoulda been DQ’d!!!

Drake is on one knee as Tsujiri runs and hits the shining wizard!!! Drake is down!!!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
KICKOUT!!!

Drake still struggling to see kicks out, but Tsujiri has made it to the top rope! He jumps off looking for a top rope dropkick but Drake somehow sees it coming and he grabs the legs of Tsujiri on the way down, and he lands back first, and Drake locks in the sharpshooter!!! Tsujiri shouts out in pain, as Drake locks it in tight!

Drake unaware of where he is in the ring, doesn’t try to pull Tsujiri to the middle and he is able to grab the bottom rope! The ref calls for the break, and Drake does so still trying to wipe the mist out of his eyes. Drake leaning on the ropes, starting to get his vision back, but in doing so walks right into a springboard hurricanranna from Tsujiri!!! He lands it perfectly and hooks both of Drake’s legs!!!

Carter: Oh My God! He might just pull the upset and pin the International Champion!!!

ONE!!!
.
.
.
.
TWO!!!
.
.
.
.
THRE— KICKOUT!!!

The crowd ERUPTS!!! As the ref quickly jumps to his knees holding up a TWO count!!!

Aiello: With the leverage that Tsujiri had, I don’t know HOW Drake powered out of that!

Bennett: Okay, I have to admit the guy did bring his A-game, but this is a man who beat Xplode, I can’t say that I’m shocked that he was able to kick-out of that, but it was a marvelous move from Tsujiri.

Tsujiri again is setting up for the Chainsaw Kick but Drake ducks it and pulls down the top rope! The Japanese Chainsaw is crotched on the top rope, and then bounces off to the arena floor below! Just as he gets up Drake comes flying through the middle rope and nails him with a suicide dive!!! Much to the crowd’s delight! You can tell by the look on Drake’s face that he has had enough of this, and that maybe he took Tsujiri a little too lightly. He rolls him back in the ring, and as he is stepping through the ropes, Tsujiri kicks the middle rope, knocking Drake below the belt, who immediately falls to the mat! Tsujiri hooks the leg! But before the ref can even make a one count Drake grabs the bottom rope.

Aiello: That might have been a bad idea…

Carter: I’m sure Tsujiri was looking to take the advantage by kicking the rope, but I’m not sure that he knows just who he is dealing with.

Drake pulls himself up hanging on the middle rope, and Tsujiri hits the opposite side and jumps looking to land on the back of Drake’s neck, but Drake moves out of the way and Tsujiri crotches himself on the middle rope! Drake turns around, just seething for Tsujiri to turn around… The crowd ERUPTS!!! And Tsujiri walks into a kick to the midsection and then THE DEATH NOTE DDT!!!

“YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!”

Drake doesn’t go for the pin, he immediately grabs Tsujiri and locks in THE MACHINE!!!

Bennett: Told ya it was a bad Idea to kick that rope…

Carter: Actually I said that.

Bennett: You said it, I said it… all that matters is that I said it.

Tsujiri struggles with all his might to get out of The Machine but the more he struggles the tighter it gets! The ref checks him, and he is forced to tap out!!!

DING! DING! DING! 

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner! The EWC International Champion… DRAKE!!!

Bennett: Well we got a better showing out of Tsujiri this week, but I still say he has no business being in the main event. If it wasn't for that green shit, Drake would have ended this match in about 45 seconds

Aiello: I can tell you one thing, that green mist is a game changer! Everyone saw how it took Drake out of his game for a moment here tonight, and I can guarantee that everyone now knows just how much it can affect your game plan.

The fans cheer loudly as Drake rolls away, coming into a seated position against the turnbuckle. He is drenched in sweat, his chest heaving, as he smiles a sadistic grin. The fans in the arena stand up, clapping as they show their respect for an extended period of time.

Aiello: Can you believe this?

Bennett: Wow… the fans are literally taking over the broadcast! Security can barely hold them back!

Carter: I have never seen a connection with the fans like Drake has right now. These fans are literally part of him. They motivate him… and he feeds off of their energy. This is what it is all about. This is professional wrestling.

Aiello: This is the EWC.

Bennett: What’s this?

The feed pans to the ring once more as we see Drake requesting the microphone from Jessica Stroup. She smiles and hands it to him, as he remains seated in the corner of the ring. The fans continue to cheer as Drake nods his head in respect. Finally, he motions for the fans to calm down as he begins to speak.

Drake: Hell of a match, huh? Let’s give that idiot with the green mist a round of applause, shall we?!

The fans begin to cheer as Tsujiri glances around him, unsure of how to respond.

Drake: No.. in all seriousness. Tsujiri, you have earned my respect tonight. Thanks for being a good sport, and giving me all a good workout mate. (Panting) Look, tonight was about sending a message. Tonight was about the future… our future… as a company.

Drake begins to stand up as the fans slowly sit down.

Drake: We are few weeks away now from our retribution. The EWC Undisputed Championship… the EWC International Championship.. it’s winner take all. There isn’t a person in this arena that won’t agree with me when I say that Xplode deserves our respect. All the same, his time has come to an end. A few months ago, we shocked the world and captured the EWC Championship.. the top prize in our sport… when no one thought that we could do it. We changed the world, right there, and illuminated an industry that was in short supply of hope. I then brought that title to Rampage and FSW, in hopes of getting all three brands back together under one purpose. Then… I failed you all. I lost the championship.

The fans begin to shout words of support for Drake.

Carter: I like that kid. He really gets it.

Aiello: I agree. Drake has truly come a long way in this sport. His story is just beginning though.

As the fans continue to cheer and motivate Drake, he wipes the sweat from his forehead and slicks his hair back before speaking again.

Drake: I failed you all… and let Xplode recapture the title, plunging the entire company back into the darkness. I am sorry. I am not defeated however, and neither are ALL OF YOU! WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR CHAMPIONSHIP… WE WILL REVIVE THIS INDUSTRY…. AND FINALLY THE GRIFFINS, WOLFE’S, and SHELTON’S OF THE WORLD CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT GREATNESS AGAIN! ARE YOU ALL WITH ME?!!!!!!

The fans literally erupt as the entire arena explodes with cheers! Even the announcer’s stand up behind their table and applaud Drake as he smiles with pride and raises his title over his head… until….

Stepping out from backstage, Xplode claps sarcastically as the arena suddenly shifts into overwhelming jeers and boos! Dressed in a black shirt and jeans, Xplode holds the EWC Undisputed Title over his shoulder as he raises a microphone and speaks, continuing towards the ring as he does so.

Xplode: ALL HAIL DRAKE!!! HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE!!! HE IS THE TALENT THAT YOU ALL HAVE PRAYED FOR! HE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS!!!!

Drake watches Xplode as the EWC champion walks up the metal steps and enters the ring.

Xplode: ALL HAIL THE NEXT MAN WITH BIG AMBITIONS…. Only to be forgotten in just a few short weeks. Hello, Ash. I couldn’t help noticing your little speech here. Well done. I think you are a tad bit misinformed though. You see, these fans… though they cheer for you like a bunch of chimps, know deep down inside that you can’t beat me. What happened before was a fluke. Everyone loses now and then.. even me. I learn from my mistakes though and I rarely make the same ones twice.

Drake: Which is why you ran like a bitch last week and fled town when I came after you?

Xplode: Ran like a bitch?

Drake: You wanted no part of me, Jaden. I owned you… and I still do now. The entire world saw the fear in your eyes as you-

Xplode: AS I WHAT, ASH? HUH? I AM HERE RIGHT NOW.. STANDING BEFORE YOU… DEFYING YOU… DARING YOU… I think you may have your facts twisted up a bit. Look, for the last half of the year, the world has seen us go back and forth to the point of exhaustion. I am tired of it.. you are tired of it.. and these people are tired of it. Soon, we will square off for the last damn time.. and everything is on the line. Now, I have been in this spot many times now. I know what goes along with this type of thing. The stress… the intensity… it’s what I do. You, on the other hand, you have never done this before. You don’t understand what it means to bet it all-

Drake: BET IT ALL? I haven’t had anything since I lost my wife and son. I have NOTHING to lose. That is where you are wrong.

Xplode: Right…

Drake: Save your breath, Jaden. (The crowd begins to cheer) In a few weeks, I am coming for you. I am going to regain my EWC Undisputed Championship, and I am going to end the Era of X once… and for all.

The fans begin to cheer even louder..

Drake: That is… if you are even able to compete by then. From what I have heard, you have been in pretty bad shape lately. Are you even physically able to compete anymore? That might be a concern.. won’t it?

X looks at Drake with rage in his eyes.

Xplode: Am I able to compete? That’s a fair question…

X begins to step away…. AND THEN HE SUDDENLY BASHES DRAKE IN THE FACE WITH THE EWC TITLE!!!! The fans begin to scream in horror as Xplode hits Drake again.. and again… and again. Finally, Xplode busts Drake open across the bridge of his nose as the title belt collides against flesh, leaving Drake on his back in the center of the ring!

Carter: HOLY SHIT!!!!

Aiello: XPLODE HAS LOST IT!!!! HE HAS GONE TOO FAR!!!

As trash is hurled into the ring, Xplode paces around for a moment. He then rips off his shirt and picks up a microphone!

Xplode: AM I HEALTHY ENOUGH TO FACE YOU NOW?!!! DO YOU SEE ME RUNNING AWAY TONIGHT?!!!!

The boos keep on coming towards the ring as security guards are barely able to hold the fans back!!

Xplode: I am done with you running your mouth, Drake. The EWC is MINE. The fans know it… the world knows it… and YOU know it. Everything that has happened up until this point has been carefully planned out by me. I am the ultimate predator… the Destroyer of Worlds. You aren’t on my level, kid. You never have been. Tonight was about showing you that no one is running away from Ashton Drake in fear. I plan out my moves… and I attack when the timing is right. Like tonight… like now. Yes, I am not as healthy as I could be. The next match is risky for me. It doesn’t matter. The EWC Undisputed Championship means more to me than anything…. ANYTHING! I would risk it all… would you? Let’s find out… shall we?

Xplode drops the microphone and grabs Drake by the leg! The fans scream yet again as X drags Drake over to the turnbuckle post. X drapes the leg of Drake over the middle rope and twists it so that it is tangled up. Still unconscious, Drake’s head slowly turns as Xplode climbs the turnbuckle post.

The fans…. They scream in terror!!!

Carter: OH COME ON…. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Aiello: DON’T DO IT!!!!!

Xplode jumps off of the top turnbuckle, bringing both feet down upon the extended leg of Ashton Drake!! Drake’s leg contorts in a sickening direction before he rolls to the side, screaming in agony, now fully alert! X watches Drake with a sadistic grin as medical crews rush into the ring, tending to Drake! Grabbing a microphone.. X speaks.

Xplode: Now.. the playing field is even. You’re just as broken as I am now, you piece of shit! This title stays with me… and soon… yours will too.

Drake continues to scream as the medical crews roll him unto a stretcher! The fans cry and shout in rage as Drake is rolled up the ramp way. X leans against the rope… watching the EWC International Champion be escorted out of the arena.

Xplode: That’s your champion folks…. That’s the chosen one!!! He doesn’t look so vengeful now, does he?

The fans continue to hurl trash into the ring as Xplode’s theme song plays loudly! The entire arena descends into anarchy as Xplode paces the ring, raising the EWC Undisputed Championship for all to see!

Aiello: We need to get out of here. This place is getting dangerous.

Carter: Well folks, there is another episode of Brawl in the books! We will see you in two weeks at HARDCORE REVOLUTION!!
