The Extreme Wrestling Corporation presents
Live on SPIKE TV and SCI-FI
MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
"WITH NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE WAR IN FULL SWING, HOW MUCH MORE INSANE CAN THINGS GET?"

EWCBRAWL
August 18th, 2008
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Skippy & Joe Aiello
Backstage help: Ace Heart

The EWC logo appears, and then we see clips from last week's Brawl and also clips from last week's Rampage. “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence plays as we see the back and forth battles between Rampage, Brawl and HcW, culminating with images of each major player in the war, finishing with the Night of Champions logo.

Pyrotechnics explode all around the ramp in the arena as "The Pretender" by The Foo fighters blasts through the speakers, and the Brawl video segment plays on the Xtreme - Tron. Red fireworks descend down the ramp way and up into the rafters as the crowd go absolutely berserk! The camera scans through the crowd and makes its way to the announcers table.

Skippy: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the penultimate Monday Night Brawl before Night of Champions!

Aiello: Aye Skip, things have been building up over the last week, and it seems as if we're almost at boiling point!

Skippy: With the Inter Brand War in full swing, something's got to give, because only one brand can reign supreme, and I for one hope it's Monday Night Brawl!

Aiello: Well, obviously dipshit – they do pay our wages at the end of the day ...

Skippy: And there's me thinking that it was going so well (sighs).

.....................

As Skippy and Aiello continue they're usual banter, “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol erupts from the PA system, and CO GM Steven Xavier walks down to the ring. He's wearing a black, tight top, black jeans, and black shoes. He climbs between the middle ropes, grabs a mic, and addresses the Pittsburgh crowd.

Xavier: As you all know, last week I told Level One that he wasn't welcome here on Monday Night Brawl UNLESS he was scheduled to appear in a SANCTIONED match. On Rampage last week, he gave his answer, and declared that he will do whatever he pleases and appear wherever he wants.

Crowd boo.

Xavier: Well, that was the answer I was kind of expecting from the fool, so, in a direct response to his words and recent actions, I have tripled security tonight, and I have also made sure that if Level One shows his face tonight, he WILL end up being arrested, and WILL stay behind bars until WELL AFTER Night of Champions has finished, thus forefitting any title he currently owns, and losing his number one contendership status for the World title!

The crowd go berserk!

Xavier: So now that Level One is sorted, let's concentrate on Monday Night Brawl, or more specifically – let's concentrate on who will be facing who, and for what at Night of Champions shall we?

Skippy: Music to my ears Aiello!

Aiello: We'll see ...

Xavier: Well, for my first announcement, at NoC there will be a Rookie Brand Vs Brand Vs Brand match, and representing Brawl for that match is ... the winner from M Killer and Jade Dragon tonight!

Skippy: Wow! A HUGE opportunity for one of those up and coming Brawl superstars to REALLY make a name for themselves!

Aiello: True. Although these matches don't usually have the same exposure as, say, the Main Event, it definitely helps the people involved in them climb the ladder to the top of the EWC!

Skippy: What?

Aiello: Ey?

Skippy: Well, erm ... you sounded really professional there, and I'm kind of scared!

Aiello: Ssssh – don't blow my cover – the bloody CO Gm is in the ring ... he's one of my bosses for Christ's sake!

Skippy: I thought it was to good to be true ...

Xavier: Thanks everyone, more announcements to come as the night goes on!

“Rebel Yell” plays again, and Xavier leaves the ring and heads up the ramp as the fans cheer.

Skippy: Huge announcements there by our Co Gm. Now we go backstage to where I believe Ace Hart has caught up with one of the potential candidates for the Rookie Brand Vs Brand Vs Brand match!

.....................

Standing holding his microphone, dressed in one of his over the top burgundy suits from the 1970’s, is the moustached MNB interviewer, Ace Heart.

Ace Heart: Hello everyone. This is Ace Heart for Monday Night Brawl, and standing before me; just mere moments before her match, is the wrestler that has set the world of professional wrestling ablaze for the last two years with her deadly kiss! Wow, that was beautiful – I am such a cunning linguist. But I digress, for now she has come to Monday Night Brawl. She is the Lady Dragon Temptress herself, the beautiful Jade Dragon! Welcome to the Monday Night Brawl!

Standing there in all her glory is a tall Chinese-American woman. She is dressed in a tight fitting green wrestling outfit, that has a scale pattern on it. Her emerald eyes look full of blazing happiness, with a smile that can melt anyone’s heart, but do not let this pretty femme fatale fool you for she is extremely deadly in the ring for this is the Jade Dragon!

Jade Dragon: It is good to be here Ace! Ever since I made my announcement a week ago, people have had rumours about this for awhile but they thought I was going to wear another outfit! Well, I joined the best now let’s see if they can handle what I bring to the ring!

Jade Dragon says that with a wink and smile to the camera, Ace Heart stays the constant professional although feeling hot and bothered by this beauty next to him.

Ace Heart: Wow, you have the presence of a 1965 Civic Honda! Truly captivating my Asian Queen! Anyway, you have a movie coming out soon, and I do believe the preview will be showing up sometime soon for the fans to see, debuting sometime soon. What made you want to come back to the ring so soon after filming - a film that many are on the edge of their seats waiting for? And also, I do believe that the movie will be coming out around Christmas?

Ace Heart asks the question about her movie that is coming out, the highly wrapped and secretive project known as ‘Shi: Way of the Warrior’ based on the comic book series by William Tucci. Jade Dragon got the lead and disappeared from wrestling to finish filming the project now she is back.

Jade Dragon: Movies are fun and hard work, and I cannot wait to show the preview to Shi: Way of the Warrior yet. But it will be soon. But like I said, making movies is great - but they just do not give you that chance at competition! Do not give you the chance to face an opponent in the ring the way should be. My first love is the ring, I love to see how well I can compete against others first and foremost, from when I was younger at my father’s martial arts school and now in the ring against men that are many times two to three times my weight and strength! Well as the have found out, and like many of the EWC will see size, weight and strength mean nothing when you face the Dragon!

With her patent grin she looks at Ace Heart, Jade Dragon thinks of all the times she was told she should not win, that it was impossible but that is exactly what his young Chinese woman has done. She has made her opponents learn to fear her in the ring, they got burned in the processes seeing her hold their titles in her hands, seen her defeat opponents in steel cages when no one thought possible. Now she is here, ready to show them all just what a Dragon can do.

Ace Heart: Your past record was impressive, but you have never faced against bonafide EWC talent, which is the best in the industry! Many people on the roster may take offence to those statements. And I for one will stab them with this very microphone, straight in their lower intestine!

Jade Dragon spins around showing her back, there is her patent large green with gold Chinese dragon shown in the open part of her back. Her hands glide down her sides with a sensual grin on her face as her emerald eyes sparkle in the light. She smiles at the comments of Ace Hart.

Jade Dragon: Good, I say bring it on! If they think they need that kind of motivation to face me, I say come right ahead sign a contract let’s see if you can beat me! Humble the Dragon if you can! I want the competition! I want them to come at me! I have been setting the wrestling world on fire and now let’s see if they can stop me! The fans are behind me! I know this is about who is the best in the ring. Some people do need to cheat, because let’s be realistic they don’t have the skill to win, the training, the true desire it takes to actually compete in this sport! Well they had better watch out! The Dragon has arrived to the EWC and she plans to give her opponents a deadly and fiery kiss starting with M Killer tonight!

With that she turns around winks and blows a kiss, walking away from Ace Heart leaving him alone at the interview station back stage, he watches her leave obvious that his eyes are mesmerized by her leaving figure. Then someone speaks in his ear piece, he looks over surprise broken away from other thoughts.

Ace Heart: I… err… That was Jade Dragon. I am Ace Hart, erect, lonely and with the serious need to pleasure myself. So with that in mind and a song in my heart, back to you Skippy and Aiello!

.....................

Skippy: How does he still have a job?

Aiello: (laughing so hard that he can't answer)

Skippy: Good point there partner ... Anyway, let's assess the up coming match with a few pointers from Aiello!

Aiello: Ah ... ok, I'm ok now. So , onto the ...

"OverHaul"

Points to prove!

Both wrestlers have a lot to prove here tonight and have everything to lose in the process!

Night of Champions Spot

Everyone has to start somewhere, and a spot on the NoC card and the chance to represent your brand and impress the GM's can only mean good things.

Involvement in the War

With all three brands gathering their armies, both President Mac and Steven Xavier will be looking for new soldiers to help them reign supreme.

Skippy: Excellent points there Aiello! Now onto Mene Gene for the official announcement!

Mene Gene: Ladies and gentlemen. The following match is scheduled for one fall, and the winner of the match will be Brawl's representative in the Rookie Brand Vs Brand Vs Brand match at Night of Champions! Introducing first. Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 155lbs. She is the DRAGON LADY .... JADE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!

The sound of the guitar strings being pulled as the lights change to gold. As the guitar starts to be accompanied by bass, the spot lights spread across the arena. The song ‘Life is Beautiful’ by Sixx: A.M. hits the speakers, growing louder and louder, as Jade Dragon walks out from behind the curtain. Standing there on the ramp podium dressed in her green leotard with the open back showing the tattoo that covers all her back of a green Chinese dragon coiling around, a golden sash is tied around her waist, with her slanted green eyes she surveys the fans in attendance, is the sultry Jade Dragon herself! Jade Dragon bows to her adoring fans before springing her arms outstretched as fireworks fly through the air up and up and up. Jade finally heads down to the ring slapping the hands that are leaned over to the ring. Jade Dragon jumps on a corner of the ring, climbs up to the top turnbuckle with her back turned showing off her tattoo before giving all her adoring fans a kiss. She then walks down loosening her neck moving to more a defensive posture towards her opponent in this match.

Mene Gene: And her opponent, from the Bronx in NY, weighing in at 260 lbs. He is M - KILLER!!!!!!!!!!

"Got Money" by LiL Wayne and T-PAIN’ suddenly starts to blare from the speakers. M-Killer walks out facing the ring then runs down the ramp, slapping people’s hands. M-Killer climbs into the ring, goes to the nearest turnbuckle and hops on the middle rope showing off his muscles. He then goes across the ring and repeats to that side.

The ref calls for the bell and Jade charges in, taking the big man by surprise. Unfortunately for Jade, size is a factor in that type of assault and Killer just laughs and does not budge. Killer picks up Jade and drops her with a back breaker that leaves Jade writhing in pain. Killer picks up Jade and goes for a Last Ride! Jade smiles as she reverses the attempt into a Huricarana and takes the big man off his feet and out of the ring!

Skippy: Impressive move there!

Aiello: Lucky, lucky git!

Skippy: What do you mean?

Aiello: Well, he gets paid to have her wrap her legs around his neck like that ...

Skippy: Ah, why did I even ask?

Killer shakes his head and gets back on the apron and attempts to get back in the ring. The attempt is met with a Shoulder Block in the gut from Jade that moves Killer just enough for him to fall off the apron and hit his jaw on the side of the ring. The ref backs up Jade as he starts to administer a ten count. Killer gets back in the ring before the ref gets to eight. Jade gives Killer some kicks to the gut to keep the big man down before she climbs to the top rope and hits Killer with a Shooting Star Press. Killer is out cold as Jade drags him to the centre of the ring. Jade picks up Killer and goes for a Chin Crusher! Killer start to become conscious as he counters the move and hits Jade with a Swinging Neck Breaker. The impact leaves both wrestlers on the mat gasping for air.

Skippy: Man, Jade and Killer are putting on a good showing tonight. I see them going far on MNB!

4…

Aiello: What, Jade puts out on the first date? Damn man, you got to hook me up with that piece of ass!

5…

Skippy: No, I didn’t…nevermind let’s just watch the match.

6…


7…

Jade starts to move first as she gets to her feet and hits Killer with a drop kick to the head that leaves Killer prone on the mat. Jade rolls Killer and applies ‘Dragon Talon’ to Killer. Killer is unconscious in the hold. The ref lifts Killer’s arm:

1 ...

3!!!!!!!!!

The ref calls for the bell as Jade releases her hold and gets to her feet.

Mene Gen: The winner of the match ... and representing Brawl at Night of Champions …….JADE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!

Jade celebrates in the ring as Brawl cuts to an EWC message and then to commercial.

.....................

BDC: Hi, BDC here, urging all of our fans at home not to even THINK of attempting to do what we do in the ring! It takes years and years of training and practice to become a sports entertainer – unless your name is Jesse Nunez ... he just had rap battles and made love to John Cena ... so unless you want me to come round your house and beat the living crap out of you, your sister, your nan, and even your dog – DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

.....................

The scene is set at a bar. Three arrows hit the bar, and we see The Madman Ebon walk over, stare at the arrows, and say:

Ebon: Well (hic), I've been drinking this British Strongbow cide(hic)r that Ssshhhteven Xsssavior sssshhugessshhted, and I've got to ssshhay that (hic) I'm now on my 8th can, and I'm ssshhtill ssshhtanding ... I don't sshhee what the big deal issshh ....

With that, Ebon falls flat on his face, completely out cold. Steven Xavier walks on screen, can of cider in his hand.

Xavier: More than a cider. More than a way to watch your pansy American and Canadian friends pass out due to the fact they THINK they can drink.

Strongbow.

More than a refreshing taste.

We come back from commercial break on Brawl. The lights go out, and all of a sudden, “Chinese New Year” by the Clipse begins to play through the P.A system. The light come back on, and standing on the ramp is none other than the former EwC Champion of the world, James “The Beast” Chambers! Dressed in a stylish grey affliction t-shirt with blue jeans and white sneakers, the former champ makes his way down the ramp making time to shake hands with the fans a greet them.

Skippy: The champ is back!

Aiello: Jimmy has come home!

He walks all the way around ringside, slapping fives. He passes the announcer’s table, and nods approvingly in the direction of the announcers. He is handed a microphone as he walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. The music ceases.

James: Good edenin’ to all me brederen on de isle ov mama Jamaica! Pon De River! Signal di plane! Jook Gal! Music of the sun! Drop and gimme 50!

The fans give a puzzled reaction.

James: Whad? Ya don’ reco’nize a former Cham’ peen of the world when ya see im?

Fan: Hey asshole! Jamaica was last week!

James: Holy shit! It was?! So where are we tonight, yappy?

Fan: Pennsylvania, dick!

James: Oh, well in that case, I guess Mac and Xavier should be thankful for this shitty turnout, eh? Seeing as the rest of the city still lives in the 19th century, right? Anyway, I’m not gonna drag this out. I didn’t come here tonight to rejoice in the name of everything holy, or dance for you people. Because to be brutally honest, I’m done dancing for you ungrateful knob gobblers. I came here to say one thing. While I am medically cleared to compete, and I have such a desire to compete, my desire isn’t to compete on Brawl.

The crowd gives a puzzled reaction.

Aiello: What the hell is he talking about?

Skippy: I don’t know, but I don’t like the direction this is taking.

James: Oh, my god, you guys may actually be the dumbest crowd I’ve ever had the displeasure of standing in front of. Okay, to put It simply for all of you retards….I QUIT!

James slams the microphone down angrily and storms out the ring as the fans boo him.

.....................

Backstage The Rev is sitting at a table tinkering around with his Hardcore Title. Tools are laid out all over the table and The Rev is attaching something to the belt. President Mac walks by and stands next to The Rev.

Mac: We have to talk Rev.

Rev: I'm busy right now. Tonight Jay Cee and I are having a Champion vs Champion battle.

Mac: Rev, Night of the Champions is still a week away.

Rev: I'm not talking about our match. This is something different. Jay Cee believes he's the greatest Champion on Brawl with his World Title, I wanna prove my Hardcore Title is more prestigious. Tonight we're going before a panel of judges to determine who has the better title. I'm making a few modifications to my Hardcore Title.

Mac: Are those fire crackers?

Rev: You betcha. Jay Cee has nothing more than a hunk of metal. I'm going out there with the coolest looking belt on the planet.

Mac: As fascinating as that is, we have more urgent matters at hand. I don't know if you noticed, but there's a war going on here. Level One and Rampage are invading our show, Pence, Cannabis and HcW are retaliating big time, and to top it all off, James Chambers has just bloody quit! I've always thought you were one of the leaders here on Brawl. We need you to stand behind your brand in this war. Are you with us?

Rev: Gee, I'd really love to help you........... but the thing is..... I'm not particularly fond on my brand. I mean with a guy like Michael Saint in charge, who can really get behind this train wreck.

Mac: That's Rampage you're thinking of. You're not on Rampage.

Rev: Oh........ well I know that, but the thing is........ with BDC and Shadow Man's presence stinking up our show, I can't in good conscience stand by this brand.

Mac: That's HcW you're thinking of. Again another show you're not on. Any other excuses?

Rev thinks hard for a second.

Rev: I don't know. Gimme a minute to think of a good reason why I hate Brawl.

Mac: Oh, forget it!

Mac gives up and walks away. Rev shrugs his shoulders and goes back to frankensteining his Hardcore Title.

.....................

Skippy: What the hell is happening tonight?

Aiello: Same shit, different night Skip.

Skippy: True I suppose ... And what's this? Is that ... who I think it is?

Aiello: HOLY SHIT BISCUITS ... IT'S JENNA JAMESON, AND SHE'S IN THE RING!

The camera switches to the ring, and yes, Jenna Jameson is standing in the middle of the ring, mic in hand!

Jenna: EBON! Get out here now!

After a few seconds "I Am Loco" plays and Ebon comes onto the stage looking out to the crowd and then walks towards the ring, once inside he gets a dirty look from the Queen of Porn.

Jenna: Last week you attacked my boyfriend Tito! He is in the hospital with a concussion and a sprained neck.

A dejected looking Ebon mouths "is that all?"

Jenna: How could you treat him like that, he is a finely trained athlete that takes time to prepare for a fight and your nothing but a street brawler, you beating my Tito was a fluke!

Ebon takes the microphone away.

Ebon: Listen, this is probably the first time in years your jaw isn't sore and your knees ain't bruised, so why don't you work on keeping them like that by shutting your mouth. Your Tito *mockingly* asked for it. He stepped in my yard, and when you step in a pit bulls yard "The Pitbull" goes right for the neck, and I don't let go.

Jenna starts yelling.

Ebon: SHUT UP! I'm guessing if you still had the twins it'd be easier to listen to you scream but you don't so use your inside voice!

The crowd starts chanting "We Want TWINS!" as Jenna stands with a disgusted look on her face, she rears back and slaps Ebon, he goes to hit her back but stops himself and tells Jenna to turn around, she looks confused and turns around right into a SUPER KICK FROM ANGEL!

Ebon: So much for your jaw catching a break.

Ebon grabs Angels wrist and they begin to pose, Angel grabs the microphone.

Angel: Take a good look at the next tag team champions!

With that, Ebon kisses Angel on the cheek and leaves the ring as she prepares herself to face John Green.

Skippy: A woman with a love of pitbulls, and the man who likens himself to one, It's "The Match Made In Heaven"

Aiello: Oh great, so not content with seeing Jenna Jameson Super Kicked in her mouth, you've just gone and given then a Tag Team name ...

Skippy: Quite the coincidence really ...

Aiello: Yeah. You'd swear that someone planned it that way ...

.....................

Skippy: ... Anyhow ... I've just received word from President Mac himself that the winner of this match will face Victor Hades at night of Champions for the International Title!

Aiello: Nice!

Skippy: Indeed, so how about you give us another rundown?

Aiello: Oh well, I suppose so. Here's the OverHaul for this match ...

Potential only counts for so much ...

Both Angel and John Green have so much to offer, yet when the going gets tough they tend to lose focus and choke. Both have a lot to prove here tonight.

The International Title

What's the best way to get your career back on track? That's right, win a major EWC title!

Bigger and better things ...

By proving themselves tonight and at Night of Champions, the winner can virtually guarantee a better contract and bigger exposure in the EWC.

Skippy: Over to Mene Gene for the official announcement.

Mene Gene: Ladies and gentlemen. The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the number one contendership for the International title! Already in the ring (her music is playing). Standing at 5'8, and weighing in at 150lbs, ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angel walks over to one of the corner climbs up the ropes and pumps her fists in the air as she waits for her opponent.

Mene Gene: And her opponent for this evening. Standing at 6'5, and weighing in at 265lbs. He hails from Atlanta, Georgia ... JOHN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Between Angels And Insects" by Papa Roach hits the P.A. system and the crowd gets on their feet as Green walks from behind the curtain. Green stands at the beginning of the ramp as he looks at the crowd with a smile on his face. Green starts to walk down the ramp slapping the hands of fans while raising his International title in the air. John gets inside the ring and goes to a turn buckle and does his Signature pose while raising his title in one hand. He then jumps off the turnbuckle and goes to another turnbuckle. The crowd gets on their feet again as he poses on the turnbuckle. He jumps off. Green has a big smile on his face as he walks up and around the ring.

The match starts off with Green & Angel circling the ring before locking up Green backs Angel against the ropes as the referee calls for a break Green backs away as he lightly slaps Angel while smiling Angel comes away from the ropes and nails Green with a forearm to the face as the crowd cheers Angel nails Green with another forearm shot backing him against the ropes as the crowd continues cheering.

Skippy: Angel is starting to mount a comeback quickly and Green doesn’t seem to know what to do.

Aiello: She can mount me anyday of the week ...

Angel knocks Green against the ropes following up with a stiff chop as the crowd cheers Angel lands a second chop before whipping Green into the ropes but Green counters whipping Angel into the ropes instead Green attempts a clothesline but Angel ducks and bounces off the ropes as Green charges at her and knocks her down with a high knee before following up with a quick pin

1..



2..

Angel kicks out!!!

Skippy: Green tried to end the match quickly with that high knee but Angel refused to stay down.

Aiello: She'd stay down by the time I'd finished with her, let me tell you ...

Green picks up Angel whipping her into a corner before charging in towards her but Angel gets a foot up and catches Green in the face with the boot. Angel climbs up to the middle rope grabbing Green’s head as she jumps off the middle connecting with a tornado DDT to the cheers of the crowd. Angel follows up with a cover

1..



2..

Green kicks out. Angel gets to her feet grabbing Green’s head as she locks in a rear chin lock keeping Green grounded to the mat.

Green struggles to fight his way up as Angel has a good grip on the hold but Green begins to fight his way up scoring with elbows to the gut of Angel breaking the chin lock Green grabs Angel and hip tosses her to the mat Green picks Angel up tossing her into a corner as he follows her into the corner

Skippy: Looks like Green could be up to something here.

Green picks up Angel putting her on the top rope as he follows her up to the top rope as Angel tries fighting back with right hands but Green connects with several rights of his own as he reaches the top rope. Green grabs Angel setting her up for a Superplex from the top rope but Angel counters it grabbing the top rope. Green lands a couple of shots to the side of Angel before attempting the Superplex a second time this time hitting the move as they both crash hard to the mat

Skippy: John Green connected with a nice Superplex from the top rope. If he can follow this up Angel might be done.

Aiello: Don't be a fool Green – drag this match out for as long as humanly possible ...

Green slowly makes his way towards Angel throwing his right arm over her body as the referee makes the count 1..2..Angel gets a shoulder up. Green looks at the referee and then at the shoulder as he’s in total disbelief. Green gets to his feet pulling Angel up as well Green sets Angel up for the Head Splitter but Angel manages to get free as she back drops Green to the mat before falling to her knees. Angel slowly gets to her feet as Green is lying on the mats feeling the effects of the back drop. Green slowly gets to his feet as Angel is standing up waiting for Green to stand up. Angel grabs Green spinning him around as she sets him up for Heaven’s Gate but Green counters as he back drops Angel to the mat as the crowd is in shock.

Skippy: Green countered Angel’s attempt at Heaven’s Gate. Now both of them are on the ground and were back to square one.

Green gets to his feet picking up Angel as he sets her up for a DDT but Angel counters charging Green into the corner as Green releases Angel. Angel stands up and nails Green with a chop Angel picks up Green putting him on the top rope as she nails with a right hand to the face before climbing up to the top rope Angel grabs Green as she attempts a Superplex but Green counters with right hand knocking Angel off the top rope and down to the mat Green gathers himself as Angel is lying on the mat. Green stands up and dives off the top rope connecting with a splash on Angel as the referee makes the count:

1..



2..


3 ... NO ANGEL KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!

Skippy: HOW CLOSE WAS THAT!

Aiello: STOP BLOODY SHOUTING IN MY EAR!!!!

Angel gets to her feet as Green does the same. Angel grabs Green kicking him in the gut as she sets him up and connects with a piledriver. Angel gets to her feet, but is still winded from the Splash she suffered earlier. She climbs to the top rope, and flies through the air with a perfect Moonsault! She connects, and the ref pins

1 ...



2 ...




Kick out!

Skippy: Both competitors putting it all on the line tonight!

Angel, obviously frustrated, picks Green up and throws him into the corner. She climbs the turnbuckle, dragging Green with her. She sets him up for The Heaven's Gate (Razor's Edge), and attempts to hit it ... but NO ... JOHN GREEN WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND HER NECK, AND HITS A HURICANRAMA OFF THE TOP ROPE, SENDING ANGEL TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, AS HE SMASHES HIS BACK ON THE STEPS OUTSISE THE RING!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!

Skippy: OH MY GOD, THAT WAS HUGE!

Aiello: I'm going to check on her – I think she may be dead ...

With that, Victor Hades rushes down the ramp with steel chair in hand and quickly runs up to both Green and Angel, and slams the chair onto their spines as they are prone on the ground! The ref rings the bell! He picks Angel up and Powerbombs her onto the hard concrete, and rolls Green into the ring, and throws the chair into the middle of the ring.

Hades scoops up Green from the canvas, screaming and shouting in his face, lifting him up onto his shoulders before turning him upside down standing over the chair, delivering a sickening Closed Casket onto the chair.

He poses while getting heat from the crowd and grabs a microphone.

Victor Hades: If you could all do me a little favour and shut the hell up for a second, I'd like to call that big, bad, cowardly piece of shit boss of mine out here!

Waits.

Victor Hades: Well since I figured you'd be too busy hiding behind your little desk back there once again, I already went ahead and took care of your waste of talent here in the ring. Because you see the thing you fail to realize Mac, is that your time is running out. Sooner, or later...my friend Doe and I will get to you and take what we want. What do you plan on doing when you've run out of pawns, throwing the fucking HcW roster at us? You'll have no one left to stand and defend Brawl, and sooner or later, Brawl...will be no more...

Grins.

Victor Hades: You see I'm DONE standing around picking at the bits and pieces of what's left at the bottom, I've had enough of kicking Angel's blonde-bimbo ass every week. I'm sick of ending the careers of rookies who've come to debut only to have a very EARLY retirement. I'm tired of these pretenders who stand where they don't fucking belong! Now it's time to bring those dreams to an end, to burn the world that surrounds them, and turn those everyday lives into a living hell. So sit back and continue to hide behind your little desk 'Boss', and enjoy having front row seats to watching Brawl burn to the ground...

Hades removes hair from his face, circling the ring slowly before kicking Green's body out of the ring.

Victor Hades: As for you two pieces of shit, what makes you even actually THINK you deserve this? Huh? Who are you, what the hell have you done that even makes you worthy of this? You see it's pathetic fuck-up jokers like you two, that bring humiliation and dishonour to competition. I thought after beating your asses around every inch of this ring for the past few weeks, you might have learned to pack your shit and hit the road by now. But from the looks of things it looks like I'll have to beat it into your skulls some more! Green, Angel, you want the International championship so badly at Night of Champions? Then it's on motherfucker, but under the condition it's booked under a match of MY choosing! I've decided the only way you get you out of my life, is simply in none other than a Deadman's Scaffold Match! ONE scaffold, but this won't be any ordinary Scaffold match...OH NO! C4 Explosives will fill the ring while tables will be stacked on the outside, covered in thumbtacks! Then to finish it off, high above the ring in the centre of the scaffold will be nothing but plate glass...how does that sound bitch?! One way or another you're gonna burn this Sunday, ashes to ashes...dust...to DUST.

Drops the microphone queuing the theme music. He leaves the ring, and jumps over the barrier and dissapears into the crowd as Ebon runs down to the ring with the EMT's.

[Deleted]

We come back from commercial break to James’s locker room. He sits with his feet atop a bench as his lawyer, Ricky Morton paces back and forth through the room, glued to his cell phone.

Ricky: I don’t give a fuck! That’s what I told that fuckin’ bitch. N---- this perm was 70 dollars, that means no lye, and I told her that, no lye. And I warned her “Listen, all you gotta do is burn a pimp one time, that’s all, just burn a pimp one time…”

All of a sudden, MNB Co-Gm Steven Xavier comes busting through the door, wild-eyed and raging.

Xavier: What the fuck happened earlier on Chambers?!

James: What do you mean?

Xavier: Don’t play coy with me, Chambers! What do you mean you quit?!

James: Exactly as I said. I’m quitting.

Xavier: Like hell you are! Must I remind you that you’re under contract?!

James: Must I remind you that you make enough money to at least get a spray-on tan?

Ricky hangs up the phone, and walks over to Xavier, placing his arm around his shoulder and holding up a large manila folder.

Ricky: Excuse me, pimpin’, the name is….

Xavier: Get you’re fuckin’ arm off of me. And Xavier will do.

Ricky, now wearing a shocked expression, steps away from Xavier.

Ricky: Pardon me, Xavier, didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, but I am Ricky “Fortune” Morton, and I am Mr. Chamber’s attorney at law.

Xavier: And your agenda?

Ricky: Well, you see here, Xavier, I have my hand, the contract that my client signed upon winning the EwC Championship. This contract states that my client is indeed contractually obligated to the EwC for at least three more years, and ---

Xavier: Which means he can’t fucking quit!

Ricky: No, no, no, my friend. That means that he is indeed signed to the EwC, but not exclusively to Brawl, which means, if my client is not happy with his current work environment, he can leave if he so chooses.

Xavier: Why wouldn’t he be happy with his work environment?

James: Xavier, have you watched Brawl lately? This place is a sinking ship, man! Look at your list of “possible” contenders. John Green. John fuckin’ Green. Jay Cee is the champ right now. Jay Cee “I am going to kick your ass because I am the best. I am better than you and this is what I have wanted my whole life. I like to move-it, move-it.”. That is all.

Xavier: What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

James: That means this fuckhole of a show is doomed, and even the Herculean efforts of a man such as myself wouldn’t be sufficient enough to save this wretched place from certain doom and destruction. If I were you Xavier, I’d get while the gettin’ is good.

Xavier: And just where the hell do you think you’re going to go?

James: Judging by your skin tone, you don’t get out much, do you? There are TWO other brands that I can go to.

Xavier: This isn’t over Chambers.

Ricky: Oh yes it is ...

Xavier shoots Ricky a menacing look. Ricky bows his head slightly and looks away.

Ricky: Or, it’s not … if you don’t want it to be…

James: The bottom line is this. James Chambers is no longer in the Brawl business and that is final. Ricky, let’s roll out.

And with that said, James and Ricky walk triumphantly out of the locker room, leaving a livid Steven Xavier to seethe about what just happened ……

.....................

Hello kids, Shadow Man here to remind you of the importance of staying in school. Sure Wrestling looks like fun, but this isn't your faker then a spray on tan type of show. EWC and HCW has trained fighters, and we go into every match knowing we may very well be going home in a body bag. So please, don't be a fool...STAY IN SCHOOL!

.....................

Skippy: An important message there from the legend that is Shadow Man!

Aiello: As much as I hate to admit it, it's been good having him back here on Brawl ... even if he is a member of the HcW roster.

Skippy: I know! Wait a minute Aiello. I've just heard word that President Mac has a few words for the fans here in Pittsburgh!

.....................

The camera switches to President Mac's office.

Mac: As you all know, Night of Champions is an event like no other, an event where EVERY single EWC title is on the line! Now so far you have been told that Jade Dragon will represent MNB in the Rookie Brand vs Brand vs Brand match, and that Victor Hades will defend his International title against Angel and John Green in a Triple Threat Deadman's Scaffold Match. We also know that The Rev will face Jay Cee for the Undisputed title, and the participants of the Hardcore title match will be announced a little later.

Now, that leaves Brawl's representatives for the EWC Tag Team titles! Unfortunately, we don't have any established tag teams here on Brawl, so, it is with great pleasure that I take full advantage of our recent contract negotiations with HcW, where both brands have full access to each others talent.

So, the tag team representing Monday Night Brawl at Night of Champions is none other than ....

SHADOW MAN AND BDC, FORCED RETRIBUTION!

Thanks you, that will be all.

.....................

Skippy: WOW, HUGE ANNOUNCMENT THERE!

Aiello: I suppose so, but what exactly does that mean ... F'R are HcW wrestlers ...

Skippy: I don't know my friend, but it's been made official, so we'll just have to wait and see.

.....................

The Rev is standing in a backstage area. He has his modified Hardcore Title strapped around his waist. EWC World Champion Jay Cee comes up behind The Rev, with his own modifications strapped to his title.

Jay Cee: You ready to lose the first annual Battle of the Coolest Title?

The Rev: No way I'm losing this one. I've made some special modifications to the Hardcore Title. The judges will be blown away by this.

Jay Cee: Lame as always Rev. What's that you strapped on there?

The Rev: Just a half dozen sparklers and fire crackers for spectacular effect. When I walk out on that entrance ramp, my title will look like the 4th of July.

Jay Cee: I'll say it again. Lame.

The Rev: Better than what you're wearing. What's that you attached to your belt?

Jay Cee: Neon flashing lights, electronic strobe lights! Take a look.

Jay Cee switches on his modified World Title. The neon flashers blink to life, the electronic strobe lights pulsate, nearly blinding The Rev.

The Rev: Hideous. I bring the 4th of July, you bring the 4th of July on acid. How bout a sneak peek of my winning Hardcore Title.

The Rev lights up the sparklers. They shower bright sparks everywhere. The firecrackers take a few seconds to go off. Suddenly they fire off every colour of the rainbow. They illuminate the room with pyrotechnic brilliance. The firecrackers pop and sizzle........... and quickly get out of control. One of the firecrackers shoots off a bright red flame. Rev's shirt is engulfed in flames and starts to burn up rapidly.

The Rev: Ahhhhh! Get a fire extinguisher. Someone help me!

Jay Cee: Ahahahaha! Nice job loser. Looks like I have the coolest title after all.

Jay Cee continues to laugh at Rev's expense, but next thing that happens is the flames from Rev's out of control firecrackers set off the sprinkler system backstage. The sprinklers go off, raining down buckets of water. The water leaks inside Jay Cee's electronic lights, short circuiting them and sending electrical shocks coursing through Jay Cee's veins.

Jay Cee: Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!........ (buzz buzz buzz) Someone help me!......... (zap zap zap)......... help me!

Paramedics rush in, ripping the World Title off of Jay Cee's waist and the Hardcore Title off of Rev's waist. They attend to the two champions, with Rev rolling around as smoke rises from what's left of his shirt, and Jay Cee trembles with his hair standing on end. The show cuts back to Aiello and Skippy in the arena.

Aiello: I guess that means we won't get to see the Battle of the Coolest EWC Title tonight. I'm ruling this one a no contest. Before they even got a chance to come out before the judges, Jay Cee suffers from electrocution, and Rev's probably being treated for second degree burns. Fingers crossed he'll be ok for his match against Ferguson.

Brawl cuts to a commercial

.....................

Shadow Man is standing in exactly the same place as he was for his "Stay in School" EWC commercial earlier.

Shadow Man: Hello Sex Addicts, Shadow Man here to remind you that the word FUN fun doesn't contain the letters STD! So if you are looking for some entertainment, then tune into the EWC and HCW weekly on your local station. So please, don't be a fool...WRAP YOUR TOOL!

.....................

We return to the action and see a new set up in the ring, with two bar stools and other decorations in the ring. People are confused on what is going until Not Listening hits and the crowd goes directly to boos as out walking slowly comes The Celtic Warrior Kevin Conner. As we see, Conner is actually using a single crutch. He gets down to the ring and gets in. Conner doesn’t look happy but he doesn’t really look upset. He gets in the ring by rolling under the ropes and using the ropes to get back up. He grabs a microphone off a stool and the music stops playing as a “You Suck” chant goes on Conner looks around and begins to talk over it.

Kevin Conner: Ladies and gentlemen as some of you may or may not have heard this is what I like to call Conner’s Corner, kind of has a ring to it doesn’t it? And there is my segment of my show Monday Night Brawl where I get to talk about whoever I want and I get to ask the tough questions to those wish they were superstars here in the MY Show! I’m not going to be bullshitting people on this show, and to start off I have quite a few things to say tonight. F’R or whatever you two HAS BEENS are called; you want to lay me out? After I clearly wasn’t one hundred percent, I have one thing to say to you, what goes around comes around you 2 are going to get yours when I am one hundred percent. You see as some of you may or may not have saw last week I got smacked in the groin with a sledgehammer, along with working out excessively and, well nightly activities I currently have a strained groin and my match at Night Of Champions is up in the air! And you can all blame that fact if that match doesn’t happen on BDC and Shadow Man! They were the ones the violently attacked me after a match and have to use weapons to keep me down. You see Monday Night Brawl hasn’t been the same because due to the injuries I had going into the King OF Brawl finals, I was defeated and our SO CALLED King Of Brawl hasn’t done shit to help us out! He should be sticking up for the members of the Monday Night Brawl roster but he is doing no such thing and making no effort, so I hope my injuries will be healed up in time for Night Of Champions so I can show The Rev that on MY show you’re going to have to step up!

Now all of this brings me to my next topic, the very first guest on Conner’s Corner, he is what some people say the best wrestler in the world, a man who I have to come to respect, admire and love, the man is non other then the NEXT EWC Hardcore Champion: The Celtic Warrior Kevin Conner!

The crowd then goes to a barrage of boos.

Kevin Conner: Pittsburgh just because you are looking at future champion right in front you doesn’t mean you are going to have any sort of championships anytime soon. Pirates? Laughable! Penguins? Who really watches hockey? Sidney who? And finally that reaches the Steelers who lets face it, aren’t going to go anywhere this year. But you guys tonight are getting your first glimpse of the next EWC Hardcore Champion, you see when I first broke into this business and my craft wasn’t as fine tuned as it is it, I grew up with the hardcore wrestling style, I was call the Hardcore Soul! I would do anything and everything to win no matter what it did to my body or the other person. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I am willing to go back to the place and give you the worst hardcore match you have ever been a part of, all of you will witness a brutal beating about to take place and that walks the line of assault and attempted murder! The Instant Icon, is going to go back to The Hardcore Soul, to revenge my loss last month and after I win the EWC Hardcore Title, I will go after F’R, I will go after Jay Cee, I will go after Kid Cannabis, and I will be the best this company has if I’m not already but I will turn all the nay sayers into true Connernanians believers because THAT’S JUST THE WAY I AM!

Conner drops the microphone with an intense look on his face as his music hits and the crowd boos he limps out of the ring and back up the ramp.

Skippy: I don't think I've ever known such an egotistical man as Kevin Conner!

Aiello: Well, the kids got balls, I'll give him that.

.....................

The Rev is sitting on a stool backstage with a few paramedics surrounding him, treating him for the injuries he caused himself. Before anyone can do anything, Kevin Conner runs up to The Rev and smashes a crutch across his head! Conner then stands over the Rev, driving the crutch into his throat yelling at The Rev, screaming at him foaming at the mouth! The paramedics finally get him off, with the aid of the in house security He backs off and walks away using his crutch as the Rev lays there coughing trying to catch his breath.

President Mac and Steven Xavier run to check on Rev as Brawl cuts to it's final commercial of the night

.....................

Brawl comes back on air, and Steven Xavier is standing at the top of the ramp.

Xavier: It's ok guys – The Rev is fine, and he insists that he competes tonight. As for Kevin Conner, well he's been fined two week's wages and kicked out of the stadium!

The crowd cheers.

Xavier: That does mean however that some of the security that was in place for the Main Event has had to be stretched around the entrances to make sure that Conner doesn't follow up with another cheap shot, but I'm confident that everything will go as planned.

He's about to leave, but then stops and re – addresses the crowd.

Xavier: Oh yeah, and before I forget. The winner of this match tonight will defend the Hardcore title against Kevin Conner at Night of Champions! Thanks for being such an amazing audience, and enjoy the rest of your evening!

.....................

Skippy: And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our main event of the evening! Sean “The Man” Ferguson will take on The Rev for the EWC Hardcore Championship!

Aiello: This is gonna be a brutal encounter, Skippy, and I can’t wait!

Skippy: Indeed, this will be an important match as we go into Night of Champions. So, how about one more rundown of the competitors?

Aiello: Do I have to?

Skippy: Yes.

Aiello: God damn you to hell! All right, here’s the OverHaul for our main event…

Gold and Glory

There’s nothing Sean Ferguson would love more than to walk into Night of Champions with the Hardcore Title around his waist. But for The Rev, who has an EWC Championship shot waiting for him at the Pay-Per-View, a strong showing here is very important to maintain his momentum, although that does mean that the Rev may potentially have to defend the Hardcore title at NoC AND face Jay Cee for the Undisputed title!

He’s Hardcore! He’s Hardcore!

Sean Ferguson is a former two-time Hardcore Champion, and is no stranger to this type of match. But neither is The Rev, and indeed it was The Rev who, along with Jay Cee, ended Sean’s second Hardcore Title run at Stranglemania.

Instant Injury?

With Kevin Conner attacking The Rev earlier in the night, what is the champion’s physical condition going into this match?

Skippy: That’s the OverHaul, now let’s go to Mean Gene for the announcement!

Mean Gene stands in the ring with the microphone at his lips.

Mean Gene: The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the EWC Hardcore Championship!

The crunchy guitars of "Disposable Teens" by Marilyn Manson start out and the curtains part just in time for Sean "The Man" Ferguson to burst out onto the stage. The fans in the arena explode, cheering their hero as Sean jogs down the ramp. He stops at ringside and watches the inside of the ring before looking at the fans.

Mean Gene: First the challenger, weighing in tonight at 243lbs! He is Sean “The Man” Ferguson!

Footage of Ferguson inside and outside the ring flicker amongst red, white, and blue lights in the arena. Sean leaps up onto the apron of the ring before climbing through the ropes, climbing each turnbuckle and saluting the fans that have come to see him.

Skippy: Sean Ferguson looks confident here tonight!

Aiello: Well, he’s about to get that smug grin slapped off his face!

All lights in the arena go out except for a single spotlight shining near the entranceway. The words "Kneel before your leader" flash on the Xtreme Tron as "The Imperial March", the theme from The Empire Strikes Back, booms over the speakers throughout the arena. The Xtreme Tron video now flashes to several clips of The Rev in action as he emerges from the entranceway. The fans boo as The Rev casually strolls down the aisle. The single spotlight follows him all the way to the ring.

Mean Gene: And his opponent, weighing in tonight at 226lbs! He is the current EWC Hardcore Champion and a member of The Sedition - The Rev!

The Rev's publicist, Skippy Mohophosite #1, follows closely, blocking any garbage the fans choose to throw at The Rev. Stepping through the ropes, The Rev stands in the centre of the ring with arms spread wide open. He grins as the fans boos have now become deafening, almost drowning out the music. All the lights now come back on in the arena and the music goes silent.

Skippy: The Rev doesn’t seem to have quite the spring in his step that he usually has. And it looks like that right arm is bandaged up!

Aiello: Unfortunately for The Rev, those firecrackers he attached to the Hardcore Title earlier were very illegal and very unstable!

Skippy: Plus, the beating Kevin Conner gave him didn't help ...

Aiello: Well, being a champion makes you a target. It's just apart of the business.

The bell rings and both competitors circle each other. They move forward to lock up, but just as Sean Ferguson begins to gain the upper hand, The Rev pushes him away and breaks up the hold. He begins waving his bandaged arm, complaining to the referee about pressure on his burnt skin. Ferguson looks decidedly unimpressed as The Rev steps forward again. Both men lock up, and Sean once again gains the advantage, pushing The Rev back towards the corner. But again the Rev slips away, complaining once more about his arm. A visibly annoyed Sean Ferguson yells at him to quit bitching and fight.

Skippy: What’s going on here?

Aiello: I’ll tell you what’s going on - Sean Ferguson wants to fight a seriously injured champion, that’s what’s going on!

Skippy: Oh, please! If The Rev’s arm was that badly hurt, Mac and Xavier wouldn’t allow him to wrestle, and he wouldn't have been medically cleared.

Aiello: That’s what you think! Those guys are sadists, and the paramedics are obviously being paid off!

Fed up with waiting, Sean Ferguson marches up to The Rev and throws a right, but The Rev ducks and hits back with a shot of his own. Sean absorbs a volley of punches until he cuts Rev off with a boot to the stomach, followed by a series of forearms to the face and a clothesline that knocks the Hardcore Champion off his feet. Rev gets up, only to taste another clothesline, before Ferguson bounces off the ropes and drops The Rev once more with a flying shoulder block.

Skippy: Sean Ferguson with the advantage in the early going!

Aiello: Yeah, well, he can have the early advantage - it’s who’s left standing at the end that counts!

The Rev slowly gets to his feet, only for Sean to scoop him up and slam him to the canvas. Ferguson picks up The Rev and whips him into the corner. He runs in for a splash, but The Rev gets that bandaged right arm up to defend himself, striking Ferguson right in the face. Ferg stumbles back and falls flat on the canvas!

Aiello: Oh no! The Rev’s arm!

Skippy: Never mind The Rev’s arm - what happened to Ferguson?

The Rev begins to unravel the bandage around his arm. While the skin is red, it isn’t burnt, and hidden beneath the bandage is an iron bar!

Skippy: Rev’s arm was loaded!

Aiello: Now that’s the kind of planning that makes you a champion!

The Rev lifts the short iron bar above his head, showing it off to the booing crowd, before turning his attention back to Sean. Ferguson has rolled over and is on his hands and knees, shaking out the cobwebs as he tries to stand. The Rev attacks with a hard kick to the ribs, then another. Sean falls to his side and grabs his ribs. The Rev falls to his knees, swinging the iron bar down and nailing Ferguson in the head. The Rev makes a cover!

Ferguson kicks out!

Skippy: A close call for Sean Ferguson, but he kicks out.

Aiello: Maybe, but The Rev is armed and he isn’t, so don’t expect him to be kicking out for much longer.

The Rev gets to his feet and stomps on Ferguson’s head before climbing out of the ring. He looks under the apron for a weapon, pulling out a trash can and a Singapore cane. He throws them both into the ring and climbs back in. Sean is on his knees when The Rev picks up the trash can and slams it with as much force as he can muster into Ferguson’s face. Sean has been knocked silly and tries to pick himself up with the help of the ring ropes as The Rev jams the trash can into one of the corners. With the Singapore cane in hand, The Rev goes back on the offensive, striking Ferguson across the back as Sean climbs back to his feet. He grabs Ferguson and whips him towards the trash can, but Sean reverses, and The Rev’s spine hits the trash can with a loud bang! He stumbles forward into a spear from Ferguson! Sean makes a cover.

The Rev kicks out!

He rolls onto his side, holding his torso, as Ferguson catches his breath and regains his bearings.

Skippy: Both men now feeling the pain!

Aiello: And it’s early days yet, Skippy! They’re gonna feel a lot more!

Sean picks up the Singapore cane and stumbles back towards The Rev, who is starting to pick himself up. With fury in his eyes, Ferguson swings the cane as hard as he can, striking The Rev in the small of his back. The Rev howls out in pain as Sean Ferguson rains down blow after blow with the cane, attacking the ribs and spine of the champion. The Rev rolls away and out of the ring, staggering away from the apron. But Ferguson isn’t finished, and in his rage he throws the cane at The Rev, hitting him in the back of the head! The Rev falls forward clutching his neck. Ferguson roars into the air before climbing out of the ring.

Skippy: Sean Ferguson is a man possessed!

Aiello: He’s gone completely nuts!

The Rev struggles to his feet as Sean grabs the ring steps. The Hardcore Champion turns around to see the challenger charging towards him with the ring steps in hand. Ferguson hurls the steps at The Rev, who manages to duck and narrowly avoid the hard steel!

Skippy: He’s trying to take The Rev’s head off!

Aiello: Somebody’s gotta stop this guy!

Ferguson rushes forward but is stopped with a rake of the eyes by The Rev. The Rev attacks with a knee to the stomach, following up with a swinging neck breaker on the thin ringside mats. The Rev stands up rubbing his neck.

Skippy: Looks like that hurt The Rev’s neck as much as it hurt Ferguson’s.

Aiello: That attack from Kevin Conner must have done more damage than we thought.

The Rev grabs the ring steps. He drags them over to Sean Ferguson, sets them on their side next to his head, and slams the steps across Ferguson’s face! With Sean’s head still trapped under the steps, The Rev stomps on them, driving the steel into his opponent’s flesh! The Rev pulls the steps away to reveal a cut gouged into Sean Ferguson’s forehead.

Skippy: First blood goes to The Rev!

Aiello: It’s only fair, since The Rev came into this match injured.

Skippy: Yeah, I’m sure he really suffered from that iron bar growing out of his arm, huh?

The Rev capitalises on Ferguson’s injury, driving his fingers into the cut and causing Sean to scream out in agony. He drives his fist into Ferguson’s face, trying to widen the gash, which is now bleeding profusely. The Rev stands up and walks over to the announce table, ripping one of the monitors from its place. Ferguson is slowly crawling towards The Rev, willing himself to keep moving. But this is exactly what The Rev wants, as he slams the monitor down on the back of Sean Ferguson’s head! The Rev rolls Ferguson onto his back and pins him!

1...

Ferguson gets a shoulder up!

The Rev hits the ground in frustration. He looks over at the announce table.

Skippy: Now what’s he planning?

Aiello: Whatever it is, I don’t get paid enough to deal with it!

The Rev stands up and moves back to the announce table, pulling the rest of the monitors off, before grabbing Sean by the hair and dragging him towards the table. He rolls Ferguson onto the announce table before climbing up himself.

Skippy: Another announce table about to bite the dust, right Aiello? Aiello?

With Skippy’s broadcast partner already out of the way, and the play-by-play man close behind, The Rev drags Sean to his feet and positions him for a piledriver! But Ferguson can barely stand and keeps dropping to one knee. A frustrated Rev holds Sean by his hair and prepares to strike him with more punches to the face, but Ferguson hits back with a strike to the stomach! He lands another one, then another, his pace picking up speed as the crowd eggs him on. Sean manages to get to his feet as he stays on the attack, landing a boot to the stomach before driving The Rev through the announce table with a DDT! Both men lie motionless among the wreckage of the announce table as the crowd applauds! Breathing heavily, Sean Ferguson slowly raises one hand. He manages to roll over and drape his arm across The Rev!

The Rev kicks out!

Ferguson grabs his opponent by the hair and drags him back to ringside as he himself crawls towards the ring. Sean pulls himself up with the help of the ring apron before rolling Rev inside. Ferguson looks under the apron and eventually pulls out a table!

Skippy: OK, I think we’re back! And Sean Ferguson has a table!

Aiello: Hasn’t he destroyed enough furniture tonight?

Sean pushes the table into the ring and rolls in after it. With The Rev still trying to get to his feet, Ferguson sets the table up in the middle of the ring. He turns around and grabs The Rev, who attacks him with a low blow, followed by a jawbreaker! Sean lies in a foetal position, holding his face, as The Rev staggers to his feet. He spots the table set up in the middle of the ring and looks out at the crowd with a malevolent grin on his face.

Skippy: I hate to wonder what he’s thinking.

Aiello: Must be something evil, since, you know, he’s evil.

Skippy: …And that’s why you’re the best colour man in the business.

The Rev stumbles out of the ring and walks over to the bottom level of the ring steps. While Ferguson picked up the top level, he left the bottom untouched, and now The Rev pulls it away to reveal a bag hidden underneath. He climbs back into the ring, still grinning. He sets the bag down and picks up the Singapore cane, using it to batter Ferguson some more and keep him off his feet. Then he picks up the bag and raises it high above his head. The crowd boo as loudly as ever as The Rev staggers over to the table.

Skippy: You know what’s got to be in that bag!

Aiello: I believe I do!

The Rev empties the contents of the bag onto the table.

Skippy: Thumbtacks! Thousands of thumbtacks!

Aiello: Yep, that’s what I thought it was. The Rev has always been a fan of the classics!

The Rev picks up Ferguson and lays into him with a chop to the face. Sean stumbles back into the corner, where The Rev attacks him with more shots to the head and body, before picking him up and setting him on the top turnbuckle. The Rev climbs up after him, grabbing him in a front facelock. But Ferguson fights back, and now both men are on the top turnbuckle, trading punches while a table covered in thumbtacks sits below!

Suddenly, a figure wearing a black wrestling mask leaps over the crowd barrier. Before anyone can stop him, he climbs onto the ring apron and shoves both The Rev and Sean Ferguson off the turnbuckle! Both men fly through the air and crash through the table! They each roll away, thumbtacks covering their arms and torsos!

Skippy: Oh my God! Who the hell is that?

The figure climbs into the ring and looks down at the two fallen wrestlers, nodding with satisfaction. He unties the laces of the mask and in one swift motion pulls it off.

Skippy: It’s Level-One! It’s Level-One!

Aiello: That Rampage son of a bitch! I ought to go in there and kick his ass!

Skippy: Why don’t you?

Aiello: Well, I… I could hardly leave you here alone, could I?

Skippy: Well I didn't see you running to my aid when I was kidnapped by the Sedition, so where's this sudden act of chivalry come from?

Aiello: Ssshhh Skippy, you're missing the show.

Level-One stands in the centre of the ring and soaks up the chorus of boos. Security guards race down to ringside, but Level sees them coming and quickly gets out of the ring, before jumping back over the crowd barrier and running away.

The Rev and Sean Ferguson are down for the count, but there’s nothing the referee can do but make sure they’re both still breathing. Slowly they begin to move, each man on opposite sides of the ring, using the ropes to get back to a vertical base. They turn and stare at each other, staggering forward through the thumbtacks and broken table.

Sean throws the first punch, landing a wild hook to the face of The Rev. Rev answers back, focusing his attack on the cut across Ferguson’s forehead. With blood streaming down into his eyes, Sean is unable to properly defend himself. The Rev pushes him into the corner and attacks with forearms and elbows to the face. He picks Sean up and sits him on the top turnbuckle, before stumbling through the ropes and standing on the ring apron.

Skippy: He’s going for the Rev-elation!

The Rev runs across the ring apron and leaps up with a spinning kick, but Sean ducks forward at the last second! The Rev lands inside the ring with his back to Ferguson. Sean locks in the Jaws of Death, before slamming The Rev’s head into the thumbtack-covered canvas! He covers!

The ref calls for the bell!

Mean Gene: Here is your winner, and the NEW EWC Hardcore Champion, Sean “The Man” Ferguson!

Sean Ferguson slowly gets to his feet. The referee hand shim the title, which he holds high above his head.

Skippy: Sean Ferguson has done it! He is the new EWC Hardcore Champion!

Aiello: What a way to end the show! That no-good prick Level-One couldn’t put a dampener on this great match.

Skippy: Hell no! And as we head into Night of Champions 10, Brawl has a new Hardcore Champion in the shape of Sean “The Man” Ferguson!

Sean Ferguson staggers around the ring, pumping the air and soaking up the cheers of the fans as the Xtreme - Tron flares up and shows the night of Champions official Brawl line up. Suddenly, the screen starts to flicker, and there's heavy breathing, followed by a video clip.
