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 good-evening ... thank you for tuning into another stellar episode of Monday Night Brawl. We are coming to you live from the sold out Sleep Train Arena here in beautiful Sacramento California. My name is Joe Aiello and with me as always, Steve Bennett and Max Carter

Bennett: We have an excellent show in store tonight. The Undisputed Champion, the 2x International Champion, Mr Drake himself is here in the Main Event and he will face the former FSW Champion and golden boy, Amis Shelton

Aiello: Amis has been an angry man as of late, last week he took out some frustration on Eddie Crank the X-Division Champion, and he wasn't alone in that quest as John Blade also got some licks in for good measure

Carter: Well you can't come out, insult the entire roster and not expect to get a beating. One surprising omission was Jack Tillman. I thought he would have jumped at the chance to attack the man who took away his strap

Aiello: We also saw some sort of possible setup of Catharsis and Drake going toe-to-toe for the International Championship at One Night Encounter, both men are in action tonight. Catharsis is facing off against Crank for a second time, and one can assume security will be on high alert as Crank continues to paint a large target on his back week after week

Bennett: We have a debut tonight. She showed up last week with some strange video and tonight Kestrel will be center stage as she takes on Adatu in what is a brutal first test for Kestrel, but we should see what she's made of tonight while Adatu will try and walk away with a possible easy win

Carter: Another highly anticipated match, Chase Rex and Kimi Smalls. Chase has continued to impress since his string of wins against John Blade and the fans absolutely love Kimi Smalls. She has one of the biggest followings in all of Wrestling. 

Aiello: Andrew Jackson will look to get on a winning streak as he takes on Corey Smith tonight. Corey is one of those more miss than hits kind of guys, but Andrew shouldn't take this match lightly, and I don't think he will

Bennett: Grunge and Tillman. It's one of the more interesting matches of the night. You have to wonder how much his title loss affected Tillman and if he's really himself these days, while Grunge could send a message to the entire EWC with a win tonight. This is a key match to watch

Carter: Great points .. that bring us to our first match of the night .. Emma Louise finds herself between 2 Jon's .. a triple threat match between John Blade, Jon Sullivan and Emma Louise. Emma and Blade faced off last week but now have a new interesting dynamic in Sullivan joining the charge. It should be an interesting first match of the night to say the least

Aiello: Speaking of .. that first match is coming up next, but first .. some EWCTV info .. We will back back with more BRAWL .. right after these messages

SHOW OPENER
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
JON SULLIVAN
VS EMMA LOUISE
VS JOHN BLADE

---

The fans were pretty pumped to see John Blade come out first after he had a very eventful night last week on BRAWL. Many chanted his name and cheered him on in hopes he will end up some how competing for the X-Division Championship in two weeks time.

Emma was met with a similar response as a crowd favorite, while Sullivan was met with a mixed amount of cheers. The bell sounded and Blade immediately charged at Sullivan, tossing lefts, rights and kicks. Emma was told to stay back as John did the work and then tossed Sullivan out of the ring. The crowd went nuts as it appeared we have a rematch from last weeks Blade Vs Emma match.

It was a closely contended match between Emma and Blade who went back and forth, but with Sullivan back in the mix, Emma again sat back as Sullivan took out some frustration on Blade, and sent him out of the ring. That's when Emma pounced and landed the "HLA" for the win

WINNER: Emma Louise

---

KIMI SMALLS
VS CHASE REX

---

One of the more anticipated matches of the night saw the Chase Rex take on the much loved Kimi Smalls. The two stood toe to toe, same height but Chase has the advantage with some extra body mass added to him. Yet Kimi wouldn't let that stop her tonight

Chase seemed to be out of sorts as he couldn't gain any momentum here tonight. Kimi controlled the entire match and ended things by finally landing Losing Heads after a few super kicks to make it happen

WINNER: Kimi Smalls

When Brawl comes back from commercial break, Ace Heart is featured in the ring. The fans are in a frenzy, having heard the rumor of a new signee from the world of MMA. With a broad reaching smile, he pulls the tool of his trade to his lips.

Ace Heart: Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in welcoming to EWC our newest roster member. She is the former MMA Bantamweight Champion. Three time Brazilian Jujitsu World Champion. And UFC superstar.... VALORA THOMAS!!!

The fans, knowing of her already and having got wind of the rumor mill surrounding her signing, kick up a warm applause and cheer as the Brawl-Tron comes to life showing a video package of her. 



As it plays, the woman of the moment swipes the velvet curtain aside and appears onto the ramp clad in a pair of black pants that compliment her form, a red Brawl brand t-shirt, and red Sketcher footwear. Joining her side is her manager and mentor, Mick. In contrast to Valora, the elderly man is dressed in a spiffy looking suit that would earn the praise of Eddie Crank himself, complimented with a black beanie. The young female dynamo riles up the spectators by jumping up and down and pointing a fist left to right, acknowledging the masses before her. They reply with great cheer.

A series of explosions go off and plenty of sparkly golden pyro showers the top of the ramp as Valora and Mick make their transit down the aisle. The two trade places as they go, tagging hands and hugging fans. Once at ringside, she makes a lap around it, slapping hands with the ringside crowd as well as the color commentators before being escorted up the steps and into the squared circle by Mick.

Once both are in, she delivers a blazing fast series of kicks and punches along Mick's outstretched hands, "ohhhing" and "aweing" the crowd all the more. Ace Heart stands by looking like his mind was just blown by the unnatural fleetness of fist and foot possessed by Valora Thomas. She finishes with a spinning back fist and the splits, which really pops the crowd up. The music dies and her video package fades from the tron, allowing Ace to get to the business at hand.

Ace: Holy smokes, you just delivered like 200 punches and kicks in 5 seconds. Amazing. I can see why the EWC were interested in you and why these fans are cheering. Valora... WELCOME to Monday Night BRAWL!

Her smile grows wider than one would expect it to and she bounces up and down excitedly, even giving Ace a side hug.

Ace: Obviously, Valora, now that you're here I have to do my job and ask why EWC? Why now?

She grins more and gives him an adorable little wink.

Valora: I've always been a fan of professional wrestling and there's no bigger or better organization than the Extreme Wrestling Corporation. I would have made the jump sooner but I couldn't get out of my contracts at the time, and I was also defending my title. When those things cleared up one year ago, I decided to make the transition and began training. It's not only for the challenge to push myself, I'm also doing it for this man right here by my side.

She throws an arm around Mick and pulls him close.

Valora: Mick is the reason I became what I became elsewhere; if it wasn't for him none of you would have ever heard of me and I never would have achieved what I have. This man is a life changer who has a wealth of knowledge in professional wrestling. He was a manager for many years in this craft but never had the chance to take a competitor to the world title. It is my life mission to make that happen for him. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I couldn't.

The camera catches a glimpse of the old man wiping a tear away from his eyes.

Ace: That's admirable but a tall order in this industry. The only question there really is to ask is, where are you going to start? Is there anyone in the back you're interesting in squaring off against?

Her eyes bulge with thoughts of certain possibilities, but she keeps it simple.

Valora: It's funny you should ask that. A few days ago my Twitter account was hacked and deleted. Damn Russians, haha. So I had to make a new one, and on it I have already created a poll for each and every one of you to take. All you do is go to my Twitter @ valora_Thomas and pick my first opponent for me. Right now there's four names on there: John Blade, Anthony Grunge, Emma Louise, and Kimi Smalls. Select one of them for me to face or write in a suggestion. Whoever has the most votes by Friday should be the one I face for my debut match. I want my career here to be interactive with you the fans too. I don't want it to be all me, me, me.

Suddenly, Jack Tillman comes out and marches to the ring, no music or theatrics to herald him.

Bennett: Uh oh.

Carter: What does he want?

Bennett: The look on his face indicates he doesn't want a handshake, that's for sure.

Mick tries to get Valora to leave, but she remains steadfast and has him to step outside the ring instead. The new signee bravely holds her ground, even as Jack enters and looms over her.

Jack Tillman: You know where you're standing in right now right? You're standing in a wrestling ring. This isn't an MMA ring. People like you and Eddie......washed up MMA fighters trying to get their next pay day because they aren't good enough in their own sport any more. You don't care about this industry. That next phone call from Dana White or from PRIDE or any other crappy MMA company that promises you a huge pay day......you'll jump ship and go right back where you belong. You Valora......you're taking up a roster spot that belongs to professional wrestler that came up in the industry the right way.....and didn't cut in line because of name recognition from another industry. Time to wake up Dorthy......you're not in Kansas any more. This is the land of professional wrestling little girl....and in this ring......I am the most dangerous man this company has to offer. Now you can either get out of my yard on your own free will......or I'll throw you out like the piece of garbage that you are.

The crowd is going nuts, and Valora looks to them and back up at Tillman, clearly offended.

Valora: I didn't mean to offend you or anybody, man. But that doesn't give you the right to roidrage all over me in here. You know nothing about me, but I think I know something about you. You're the guy famous for having Eddie's fist forever engraved on your face, right?

A loud "OOOHHH" ripples through the venue at the cut-down.

Suddenly, Jack gives her a HARD shove that sends her sprawling across the canvas ass over head like a shot rabbit. To his surprise, she rolls through and pops up to a stand, prompting Tillman to charge headlong at her. She rushes forward also, daringly, and feints going high for a maneuver only to change up and Shotgun Dropkick him across the knees, clipping him down to the mat. From there, she chops him across the throat, spinning back fists him, then pulverizes his nose with a palm strike - a combination she's dubbed Three Steps To Death. He seems dazed. Not missing a beat, she keeps moving and employs the ring ropes, using them to springboard off with her back still toward Jack. She soars high into a backflip in hopes of delivering her Reverse Gravity move, but Tillman sniffs it out ahead of time and catches her in a wristlock from behind. He dings her with a headbutt and clubbing blows to the nape of the neck, then demolishes her with his lethal Ball Room Blitz (Rainmaker) finisher.

Carter: OH COME ON!!! WHAT THE HELL!!

Bennett: This whole thing has gone horribly wrong! Get him out of there!

Mick scrambles into the ring and hurls his beanie at him, followed by a proper cussing, before kneeling to check on Valora. Backing off, Jack stares at his handy work with a steely gaze, then mouths something at her and exits the ring to fans displeased with him.

KESTREL
VS ADATU URAKIH

---

Aiello: We have had an interesting show so far and we are just getting started. Up next is a battle of two very talented women. One of these women, Kestrel is making her debut for EWC tonight, in fact she is that new to EWC that she only put pen to paper on her contract just last week.

Jessica Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Currently in the ring, from Musashino, Tokyo Japan and weighing in at 150 lbs - ADATU URAKIH!!!!

The overhead lights dim as the sound of a chopper flying overhead fills the air, the opening for 'Torture' taking over a few seconds later. As the song kicks into proper gear alongside of Layla Brooklyn Allman's scream, lights of a muted shade of pink and white swirl out over the crowd as smoke rises up through the grating of the rampway, the crowd filling the air with their boos in anticipation for the woman that is about to come out. The song jumps to the chorus as Kestrel emerges from the back, the slender blond thrusting her fists over her head garnering more of that heated reaction… though such is not something that she seems concerned with. Rather, it appears that the gesture is for her own benefit, and hers alone if one goes by the deep breath she takes before she's in motion anew. As she makes her way down the ramp, it becomes readily apparent that she's not paying the crowd much of a reaction at all-- even a brave fan's successful attempt to run his fingers through the long strands of her hair is ignored beyond the faintest flick of her head away from the touch. Climbing the stairs, Kestrel puts her back to the ring ropes as she looks out over the crowd, though it could be argued quite easily that she's looking past them. A subtle shake of her head and she's kicking off the ring apron to flip into the ring, landing lightly on her feet. From there, she merely makes her way over to her corner and waits for the match to begin.

Jessica Stroup: Her opponent, weighing 155 lbs and hailing from Las Vegas Nevada - KESTREL!!!!!

DING DING DING

Both women walk to the centre of the ring and exchange words that the cameras can't pick up. Kestrel smiles at Adatu and runs her fingers through her own hair. Kestrel now stands in front of Adatu and runs her fingers through Adatu's hair while Adatu has a confused expression on her face as she tries to work out exactly what is going on. Kestrel licks her lips and moves closer and closer to Adatu. And Headbutts Adatu. Kestrel then grabs Adatu and tosses her over the top rope and out of the ring.

Bennett: Just when this match was looking up.

Carter: Any idea what just happened?

Bennett: Kestrel clearly lured her opponent into a false sense of security.

Carter: How did You get that?

Bennett: Because I was lured into a false sense of security! I thought we were going to get a different kind of One Night Encounter!

Adatu slides under the ropes and back into the ring. Bad move, Kestrel is on her battering Adatu with a series of stomps until the referee pulls Kestrel off her opponent. Adatu uses the distraction to get back to her feet. She charges at Kestrel but she ducks and Backdrops Adatu. However, Adatu lands on her feet behind Kestrel. Pulling Kestrel's hair back, she drops Kestrel with a Reverse DDT. Both women are down.

Aiello: Both women down, this could be her chance to recover after that early assault.

Bennett: Technically, she attacked Kestrel from behind.

Aiello: It's a Reverse DDT. That's how the move is applied.

Bennett: I know that, it's why I said 'technically'

Both women are back to their feet and Kestrel attempts a Superkick. Adatu catches it and spins Kestrel around and lifts Kestrel for a German Suplex but Kestrel spins over Adatus head and punches her off the ropes for an O'Connor Roll. Adatu grabs the ropes and Kestrel is sent rolling backwards with nobody in her grasp. Kestrel reaches her feet in time to be Speared by Adatu who makes the cover.

Kick Out!

Aiello: I thought she might have had her with that.

Bennett: Really? This soon?

Both women pull themselves up but Kestrel takes Adatu back down with a Chop Block to the front of Adatu's left knee. Adatu lands face down and quickly grabs at her knee screaming in pain. The referee moves in to check on Adatu but Kestrel pushes him out of the way and stomps on the bad knee. Kestrel drags Adatu to the ropes and places Adatu's left leg on the bottom rope. Kestrel places her own foot onto Adatu's leg and uses it to bounce into the air and come crashing down onto Adatu's knee with a Sitting Splash. Adatu screams again and clutches her knee. Kestrel prises the bad knee out of Adatu's grip and places it on the rope again before a second Sitting Splash to the bad knee.

Kestrel turns to the crowd and pretends to limp. Adatu drags herself to a corner and uses the rope, and her good leg, to pull herself to her feet. Kestrel is in the opposite corner and charges. Adatu, out of instinct, raises her feet to block or counter Kestrel's charge but this is Kestrel's plan. She catches the bad left leg of Adatu and drags a hopping Adatu out of the corner. She punches the bad knee twice and spins around dropping Adatu with a Dragon Screw.

Carter: Enough is enough! The referee should be thinking about stopping this one. Can he not see the pain she is in?

Bennett: Shut up you, this is getting good!

With Adatu on the ground, Kestrel grabs the bad leg and leaps over Adatu. Kestrel lands, seated, on the mat near Adatu's head but still holding Adatu's leg.

Aiello: What was that?

Carter: When you grab your opponent's head and do that it's a Neck Crank so I'd call it a Leg Crank. Knee Crank?

Aiello: Whatever it is, it's effective.

As Adatu rolls around the ring in agony, Kestrel grabs the bad leg and locks on the Tangled Jesses. Adatu screams in pain trying to fight it.

DING DING DING

Jessica Stroup: The referee has elected to end this match, your winner: Kestrel!!!!

Aiello: That is heartbreaking but in the end the referee had no choice but to call an end to this one due to the knee injury.

Carter: Exactly. You have to feel for Adatu Urakih at this time. I mean the pain she must be feeling.

Bennett: You two are missing the bigger picture, AGAIN! In her debut match for EWC and with less than a week to prepare, Kestrel came to that ring and literally broke her opponent down to the point that the referee took pity and called the match off.

Aiello: However your view of it, the referee was the one who called for the bell after Kestrel spent a good portion of the match destroying Adatu Urakih's knee. We'll be back with more so don't go anywhere.

The scene opens with Monday Night Brawl GM's Justin Gold and Matt Silver meeting with John Blade

Silver: John, I almost didn't see you .. what's up?

Blade: Look guys, you have to put me in a title match. I want one so bad. I say my prayers, I take all of my vitamins, I pee standing up .. please guys, give me a chance

Gold: Those are all good things John, but you just don't have the wins to back it up

Silver: Who do you think we are? Michael Saint? We aren't just going to throw you into a title match for absolutely no reason whatsoever

Gold and Silver wink to the camera

Blade: Please guys. All I want is a chance. Just put me in the X-Division title match. Give me Crank. Crank me up. I want Crank. Lets Crank it to the max. Crank.

Silver: What you need to do John is earn your way into a match. Catch the worlds attention. You know, do something crazy. Like .. grab the world by it nuts .. go out there, chair in hand and cause some damage ..

John claps his hands and runs off

Gold: Wait, did you just tell him to grab a chair and cause some damage?

Silver: Well, it was more of a metaphor

Gold: This is John Blade we are talking about .. you just sent that kid out on a suicide mission

Silver shrugs his shoulders as the two laugh and continue walking

ANDREW JACKSON
VS COREY SMITH

---

“Take No Prisoners” by Megadeth blasts through the PA system and it is soon followed by a series of fireworks blasting across the stage from left to right and back to the start point like a rogue Draco.

Once the fireworks seize Andrew Jackson arrives from behind the curtains looking expansively into the thousands in the audience. The cheers flood the stage as he gets himself settled at the center of it.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from North Carolina, Andrew Jackson

Jackson throws salutes to his audience and begins to make his way down the ramp. He doesn’t flash a single smile but even with his strict demeanor he dishes out high-fives and handshakes whilst he makes his way down.

Once he gets to the ring area he uses the steps to get into the ring but before going through the ropes he points to the cheap seats above and throws a salute their way. Once in the ring he finds his corner and throws a few warm up punches to get into the swing of things as he waits for the match to begin.

Aiello: Both men will be desperate for a win, neither were able to win their last match, and a win here tonight would be a confidence booster

Bennett: That it will, Andrew looks ready and revving to go

The music hits and the fans start cheer as Corey come onto the stage and the fireworks go off.

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent, from Richmond Virginia, Corey Smith

Corey makes his way down the ramp, into the ring and to his corner.

Aiello: Nothing fancy, just get in there and get the job done, Corey looks like he really wants this

Bennett: The theatrics or the here lack of doesn’t mean anything,

Carter: I beg to differ, Corey definitely does look like he wants this more

Bennett: I guess we are about to find out

The referee calls both men to the center of the ring and explains the rules to them. Once he is done he sends them back to their corners and calls for the bell

DING DING DING

And we are off as both men approach the center of the ring and begin trading blows. One right after the other but then Corey gains the early advantage and begins dispatching punches left and right forcing Andrew backwards/ He has no intention on letting up on the pressure as he kicks Jackson in the midsection and immediately sends him crashing to the mat with a snap suplex. With Andrew on the mat he begins offloading punches to his unprotected head, Jackson struggles to get some hands in the way but Corey is able to make a few connections.

Bennett: Say it Joe.

Carter: Yeah admit it

Aiello: Alright, I was wrong,

Bennett: Did you here that Max?

Carter: Yes, it is the most satisfying thing I’ve heard all night

Corey picks Jackson up to his feet and delivers a kick to the midsection, a powerbomb seems inevitable but then Jackson reverses and sends him flying over his head. Jackson looks furious as he begins an onslaught. He drops the knee right on Corey’s chest, a move that puts the man in agony, but no sympathy on his part as he sets Corey up for another and delivers. He picks Corey up and irish whips him but Corey is able to reverse it and it is Jackson who is sent running to the ropes but as he returns he nearly takes Smiths head off with a clothesline from hell.

Aiello: Oh dear lord, Jackson looks possessed

Carter: He very well might be, he is taking Corey Smith apart.

Jackson does not look like he is done as he picks Corey up and drags him by his hear to the closest turnbuckles and shoves him onto it with his back to the pads. Jackson tangles his hands on the top rope and begins offloading punches straight to his open face as Corey struggles to get his hands free. Corey is eventually able to get his hands free but the thundering blow right after he finds his hands drops him to the mat, the fans are loving it.

JACKSON

.

.

.

JACKSON

.

.

.

JACKSON

Jackson picks him up and sits him at the top turnbuckle and follows right after, Corey digs deep and sends a punch to Andrews head but Jacksons returned punch nullified him once more. Jackson gets to his level and picks him up, sets him up for THE PATRIOT from the top turnbuckle and holds him there as he soaks up the praise from the fans.

Aiello: This is insane, don’t do it! Don’t do it!

Bennett: Too late to take back my support for Corey?

CONNECTS! Corey lands lifeless on the mat from the impact and Jackson crawls over and goes for the cover.

Jessica Stroup: Here’s your winner, Andrew Jackson!

Aiello: What a performance from Jackson, he looks like a new man

Bennett: He definitely needed that win, it hasn’t been the easiest time for him lately but he got the job done.

Jackson continues to celebrate his victory in the ring as we go to commercials.

ANTHONY GRUNGE

VS JACK TILLMAN

---

Aiello: Welcome back to BRAWL live here in Sacramento California. Up next we have Anthony Grunge taking on the former X-Division Champion, Jack Tillman in what should be a close contest

Bennett: We already saw Tillman come out earlier tonight .. I wonder if that altercation will have any barring on this match

Carter: It should be noted that Valora Thomas is no longer present at the arena, she was escorted out to prevent any fallout during this match

Stroup: The following contest is set for one fall!

'Bored to Death ' by Blink 182 begins to play as Anthony Grunge makes his way down to the ring

Stroup: Introducing First, From Hollywood California, weighing in this morning at 210 lbs and standing at 5`10, The Mosh Pit himself ... ANTHONY GRUNGE

AN-THO-NY

AN-THO-NY

AN-THO-NY

AN-THO-NY

Aiello: Anthony certainly has carved out for himself a nice fan base .. and it doesn't hurt to be in his home state of California tonight

Bennett: He won't have it easy though, that son of a bitch will need to get his game face on and real quick

Anthony jumps around in the ring, soaking in the cheers

Stroup: And His opponent.. From Omaha, Nebraska weighing in at 210 lbs and Standing at 6`1, 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.

Carter: The former X-Division Champ sure looks focused here tonight

DING DING DING

Josh Daniels calls for the bell officially starting the match as Tillman walks up to Grunge and is met with a Boot to the knee and then following it up to the face. Tillman falls on his back as Grunge gets up and Gets Tillman up and Irish Whipping him and meeting him with a European Uppercut that totally flattens Tillman!

He gets Tillman back to his feet much to his dismay because, Tillman sends a right to the face of Grunge. He gives a Flurry of Strikes! Punch, Punch, Spinning Back Kick, Enziguri! He Irish Whips Grunge and goes for a Sick Elbow but, Grunge goes right over Tillman`s head and lands on his feet but drops down and rolls out of the ring. Tillman looks confused as Grunge laughs and taunts turning his back to Tillman.

Daniels is at 3 but when Tillman launches himself over the top rope and breaks the count but, Grunge turns around and catches Tillman in the act. He runs and hits Tillman against the turnbuckle pole almost breaking Tillman in half and throwing him over the Barricade. Daniels is now at 5 as Grunge slides into the ring and gets back out restarting the count.

Aiello: Grunge doing the smart thing here, being well aware of the count, doesn't want this match to end that way

Carter: He certainly has a high wrestling IQ 

Bennett: Strong IQ? Get the fuck outta here you son of a bitch

Grunge goes over to get Tillman but is met with a Tornado DDT right on the concrete! Tillman gets Grunge up and throws him in the ring stopping the count at 6. He pins Grunge.

NO!

Grunge throws Tillman almost halfway across the ring with that kick out! Grunge goes into the corner and sits there dazed giving Tillman the perfect idea. He goes the the opposite side and runs towards Grunge's corner and flips but Grunge moves and Tillman hits the Turnbuckle hard! Grunge takes the opportunity to move Tillman to the Middle of the ring and lock in the The Iron Madian! Tillman is screaming in pain as he fights to get out of it.

Tillman manages to leap and grab hold of the ropes in a desperate attempt to end the hold. Grunge lets go and rolls to his knee. Grunge is clearly getting tired and annoyed, he rolls out of the ring to get a chair. He acquires one but on his way in Tillman gets him with an Elevated DDT making him land on his own chair! Since it wasn't Tillman`s fault that it got there, Daniels lets it slide but he grabs the chair and throws it out of the ring. Tillman goes for the cover.

Bennett: Grunge is showing us what he's made of tonight.

Tillman gets a shoulder up!

Aiello: Incredible endurance by Tillman here

Carter: It will take a whole lot more to put Tillman down .. he's the former X-Division Champion!

Bennett: 'Former' being the key word here Mr IQ

Now Grunge gets angry again. He waits for Tillman to get to the corner and tries to spear him in the corner but he is met with an elbow to the face! He gets stunned and Tillman throws him down against the turnbuckle. He runs to the other corner and comes back and.. CANNONBALL!! Grunge`s Neck looks like it might of just snapped!!!!!! Tillman gets him up and throws him against the ropes before delivering a European Upper Cut!!!

Carter: And that's the ball game!

Aiello: It looks like this one could be over folks

Tillman is so tired that he drops down onto Grunge as Daniels gets down.

No! He gets the shoulder up!! Grunge uses the ropes as leverage as he gets up. Tillman gets a burst of adrenaline as he flips up to his feet. He begins to send a flurry of kicks to the thigh of Anthony Grunge. He Irish whips Grunge again as he goes for another European Upper Cut but Grunge goes over his head and then slams him hard to the mat. Anthony quickly heads to the corner, climbs the ropes and ... MOSH PIT!!!

Grunge goes for the pin.

Carter: You can tell Grunge is frustrated at this point. No matter what he's tried tonight, Tillman won't stay down

Grunge gets him up and attempts to Irish Whip Tillman into the corner but Tillman manages to break free and instead ... Ball Room Blitz!!!!!!!! Grunge hits the mad hard, and Tillman goes for the quick cover

Carter: Grunge certainly turned some heads today, going the distance with Tillman

Aiello: Both of these men put it on the line tonight. Tillman proved to have incredible endurance tonight, while Grunge showed what he's made out of and cannot be upset with himself on how things went here tonight

Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen.. Here is your winner.. Jack "The Ripper" Tillman

NON TITLE MATCH
CATHARSIS
VS EDDIE CRANK

---

Aiello: Welcome back to BRAWL my friends .. we are now ready for one hell of a match. We got Catharsis and we got the X-Division Champion! 

The EWC cameras take us backstage where Eddie Crank, followed by his coach and the rest of his team, is marching towards the entrance as ‘Foggy Dew’ echoes in the arena.

Eddie is prancing around, practicing his footwork as he goes, throwing air punches and having a good time. The Irish in the audience are having an even bigger blast than Eddie is, donning Irish colors and painting the entire arena green, orange and white.

Eddie’s theme switches from ‘Foggy Dew’ to ‘Unchained’ and the crowd goes wilder and wilder by the second while Eddie makes his way to the ring, barely having any space around him thanks to his crew and the Irish fans trying to touch and high five him.

Jessica Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, the X-Division Champion, Eddie Crank

Crank starts circling the ring and talking trash, warming up for the fight with a smile on his face.

Eddie starts shadow boxing and kicking, practicing over his movements and getting nice and limber for the fight.

The guitar riff streaks across the speakers like a mad flame as the lights pulsate and flicker. A figure emerges through the curtain with a determined and melodic pace. He stands at the ramp entrance, looking over the crowd with a sly smirk. As the guitar solo breaks, he tilts his head back, extends both arms with clenched fist, and releases a primal scream in sync with the one roaring from the speakers.

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent, Catharsis

"Mouth like Sidewinder Missiles" commands the crowds, and the roar of approval from the masses drives him to the ring. Catharsis makes his way to the ring, the smirk never wavering, his head nodding in approval. He slides under the bottom rope, jumps to his feet and rushes the turnbuckle, leaping to the second rung. As the song transitions into another guitar solo, he sits down atop the top, drops his head momentarily in silence respect, then explode up with both arms to each side, screaming to the crowd once more. He steps down to the mat, and stands ready.

The referee explains the rules to them and then sends them to their individual corners and then calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

Both men get at each other immediately and go into a grapple, the upper hand is gotten by Crank who gets Catharsis with a snap suplex immediately gaining the advantage early in the match. Crank looks like a determined man as he follows Catharsis giving him no space and grabbing him once he gets up and delivering another snap suplex downing him one more time.

Aiello: Crank looks possessed

Bennett: He is ‘cranking’ up the pressure

Aiello: Bennett please, quit it with the dad jokes

Eddie looks to continue with the punishment and goes for Catharsis one more time but he is hit with a surprise roundhouse to the side of the head that drops him to the mat clutching on to his face. Catharsis seems to have the momentum shifted in his favor and intends to capitalize on it. He grabs Eddie to his feet and then slams him right back down with a powerslam. Not the most common of moves these days but he does it well. He then climbs the turnbuckle looking to keep his man down at least for a longer stretch if not to end it all. He leaps off the turnbuckle once Eddie finds his feet and catches him with a hurricarana which has Eddie flying all the way to the turnbuckle and clattering his face on the pads. The move is effective, maybe more so than Catharsis even expected with his man looking flat out, he goes for the pin.

Aiello: Impressive, Catharsis looks like he could win it right here

Bennett: I must say I didn’t expect such an effective response

Kick Out!

Eddie isn’t going down easy, and a champion shouldn’t. He searches for a way to get to his feet and a rope is right next to him, he grabs on to it but as he gets to his wobbling feet, Catharsis has him from the back, a german suplex is inevitable and he reads it and plants himself further on the ground to keep the move from taking place. Catharsis tries to get it done but he stands his ground. In a split moment Catharsis grip loosens and Eddie capitalizes and delivers a stunner to the man, a move that truly does stun him and sends him crashing hard on his back right to the center of the mat, no ropes to save him if he isn’t able to kick out. Eddie goes for the pin.

Aiello: What a counter by Eddie, as an MMA fighter you learn to read your opponents and watch for openings, he did it to perfection there

Bennett: Yes he did, and that may have just won him this contest

Kick Out!

Aiello: Catharsis says not so fast there

Bennett: I have to say I am impressed

Eddie doesn’t look like a man that is done at all, and neither does Catharsis, they both stumble to their feet and once more grapple each other, this time both men are gassed for air but intend to keep the fight going, it isn’t over. Catharsis this time gains the advantage with a very smart leg sweep on Eddie but as he goes down to attack the man Eddie lands a kick to the chin, what a fookin’ move to keep his hopes alive. Eddie mounts his fallen opponent and begins some ground and pound catching Catharsis with several elbows as the man struggles and looks for a way to transition out of his predicament. Catharsis is able to transition to his back but just then Eddie catches him in a headlock.

Aiello: This looks bad for Catharsis

Bennett: With those slim arms Crank has, it must feel like daggers to the throat

The choke continues and Eddie doesn’t look like he intends to stop, it keeps getting tighter and tighter but Catharsis struggles and finds his feet even with Eddie hanging on to him, a tremendous show of strength. He then runs at the turnbuckle and jumps back catching Eddie who immediately lets go and both men begin trading blows and down the ramp comes John Blades running with a steel chair, unseen by both men who are trading blows.

Aiello: What the hell is John Blade doing here

Bennett: You mean in the EWC or coming down the ramp?

Aiello: It looks like he might be taking that advice from GM Matt Silver very literally here

John slides into the ring with the chair and Catharsis notices first and gets out of the way whilst John nails Eddie in the head. The referee calls for the bell immediately, a disqualification for Catharsis who goes straight to the referee to blatantly explain he had nothing to do with John but the referee is not having any of it.

DING DING DING

Catharsis continues to plead his case as Amis Shelton runs down the ramp and joins the madness, he too is stomping on Eddie Crank.

Stroup: And your winner .. due to disqualification .. the X-Division Champion .. EDDDDDDIEEEEE CRANK!

Suddenly down the ramp comes Jack Tillman, he sprints for the ring.

Aiello: Thank God, someone has come to save Eddie, what a mess

Bennett: If you think Tillman is here to save Eddie your jeans must be too tight

Tillman joins the men in the ring stomping at Eddie as he struggles to find some breathing room through all the boots. Down the ramp comes one more man into the party, Andrew Jackson, he sprints down the ramp like a man on a mission and once he gets in he is cornered by Catharsis who refuses to let him through to help the man being beaten, Jackson and Catharsis begin to trade blow and it is an absolute madhouse.

Aiello: Get the f’ing security out here, this is anarchy

Bennett: Nope, Anarchy 16 died last year

Aiello: Just shut up

The security run into the arena and begin isolating each man and taking them off Crank and also stopping the fight between Andrew and Catharsis as the show goes to commercials

NON TITLE MATCH

AMIS SHELTON
VS DRAKE

---

Carter: Welcome back folks. Well that was an absolute gong show .. Shelton, Tillman, Catharsis, Jackson and John Blade have all been removed from the building, while Eddie Crank is being attended to by the medical staff. We apologize for the absolute chaos that just took place

Bennett: Apologize? This is the EWC, don't be an asshole 

Aiello: Here we go folks, one of the most anticipated matches is finally here. It's hard to imagine Shelton and Drake going at it on a non-ppv show, but that's the EWC for you. We love putting on a show and aren't shy about showcasing a major fight like the one we are about to watch

The lights in the arena dim, causing the fans in the arena to murmur amongst themselves.. The murmurs cease when the beginning of Killswitch Engage's 'End of Heartache' hits the speakers.

"Seek me, call me.
I'll be waiting..."

As the scream kicks in, Amis Shelton emerges from behind the curtain to a chorus of boos from the capacity crowd! The boos are met with a look of disdain from Amis as he nonchalantly strolls down the ramp towards the ring.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our main event of the evening, introducing first from Springfield Illonois, Amis Shelton

Amis climbs onto the apron and hops over the top rope and climbs a turnbuckle, aggressively outstretching his arms which generates more boos from the fans. Amis throws out insults to the crowd members before climbing off the turnbuckle and warming up on the spot.

Aiello: This has to be one of the biggest challenges for Amis till date

Bennett: That you are right about, not so long ago he impressed us all against Xplode but was not able to come away with a win

Carter: Today though he faces the man who beat Xplode not once but twice. He and X are two very different fighters, yet both are elite superstars

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 Sounds of Madness" by Shinedown 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! Please welcome... the EWC Undisputed and 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.

Aiello: Drake looks ready to go, and so do the fans

Bennett: Let’s get this show on the road

The referee calls both men to the center of the ring and then explains the rules to them. Once done he sends both men back to their corner and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

The champion immediately goes on the attack and he follows with a superman punch to the head of Amis Shelton downing him. Amis immediately got back to his feet and is returned to his back with a clothesline. Drake looks absolutely on fire as he brings Amis back to his feet and then sends him running to the ropes, as he returns Drake flies at him with a knee but he gets out of the way and catches Drake by the head and delivers a neckbreaker. Amis gets to his feet almost immediately and taunts the crowds and they send down their boos at the ring.

He turns around to Drake and helps him back up and drives a backhand slap to the chest which Drake clutches his chest. Amis opens up Drake once more and sends another backhand slap to his chest which is just as bad as the first. He then has Drake at the turnbuckle and delivers a slap to the chest that forces the man to a seating position on the mat. Amis puts his knee to Drake’s neck and choking him with the ropes.

Aiello: Back and forth, back and forth, what a bout it is turning out to be

Bennett: Amis has been impressive so far, do you think he can keep it up?

Carter: Probably but against Drake, an impressive performance may be all he can leave with on the night

Aiello: Come on Carter, Amis is a former FSW champion

Carter: A whole different ball game against the Undisputed EWC Champion

The referee breaks the illegal hold up and cautions Amis about his antiques but he brassily ignores him and goes for Drake who is still holding on to his aching neck. Once he approaches Drake and tries to pull him up, the man delivers a chop to his throat and Amis staggers back trying to find some air for himself and Drake picks himself up and dives at Amis with a crossbody and connects. Drake looks mad, he lands a knee to the shoulder of the downed Amis putting him in immense agony.

DRAKE

Drake acknowledges his fans with a raised hand and then begins to bring down some heavy boots to the shoulder of Amis. Amis Shoulder seems to have taken some real damage from the hit but Drake doesn’t relent, he picks the man up and sets him up for a powerbomb and just like that he lifts him over the head and completes his signature move, “Ride the lightening”, he immediately goes for the pin.

Aiello: It’s over folks

Kick Out!

Drake can’t believe Amis managed a kick out, he gets to his feet and pulls Amis to his but as he lifts him he is given an eye poke which the referee completely misses. As Drake struggles to find his vision Amis lifts him unto his shoulder and delivers a signature move of his own, a Lawn Dart. Drakes head bounces off the turnbuckle and he crashes to the mat.

Aiello: What in the world is going on here, this fight is getting completely out of hand

Bennett: You are telling me, these two are really going for it here.

Carter: Amis might just win it here.

Amis goes for the pin.

Drake has his hand on the ropes the referee breaks it upm Amis looks to the referee wondering why and he points to Drake’s hands on the ropes. Amis stomps against the hand repeatedly in anger, he looks absolutely insane. Drake pulls his hand away and Amis puts it back in his boots way and continues but the referee breaks it up once more. Once Amis returns to Drake who has found his feet using he looks to get at him but Drake counters with a knee to the stomach and a DEATH NOTE DDT.

Aiello: Just call it ref, it’s over

Bennett: I can hear the fat lady

Carter: The fans are loving it

Drake looks bewildered, he drops an elbow on the chest of Amis to keep him down longer and pulls him by his foot to the closest turnbuckle. Once he has him there he pulls him to his feet and drops him on the turnbuckle, he then lifts him to the top turnbuckle and dashes some punches right at the head. Drake begins to climb to the top with Amis but Amis finds some bearing for himself and delivers some punches back but Drake also responds and they both tussle but then Drake lands a heavy blow which has Amis staggering about to fall but then he tries to use Drake to keep himself in but both men fall to the outside heavily, Amis landing on his back and Drake landing horribly on his knee.

Aiello: Both men look out of it

Bennett: I think Drake got the worst of it, he is clutching that knee he looks hurt bad

DING DING DING

Aiello: Both men are out, Amis is not moving and Drake seems to have done some considerable damage to his knee

Bennett: This is really bad, this is bad



The medics come out and put Drake on the stretcher, the medics check on Amis and he is able to get to his feet but the man supports him as he limps his way to the back. Drake on the other hand is rolled out on a stretcher as the fans give him a round of applause.

Aiello: Folks, we hate to end the show on this kind of a sour note, but we are out of time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Drake and Shelton right now, in hopes that they aren't badly injured

Bennett: If Drake is hurt, this will be a huge blow to BRAWL and the One Night Encounter event

Carter: Lets hope no matter what it is, neither star is out long term .. Drake looks to have really hurt his knee as we see a few replays of what happened

Aiello: On behalf of the BRAWL crew .. thank you for watching and good night

The scene fades as we see Drake carried off on the stretcher as the fans chant his name
