December 14th, 2009
Chicago, IL
Commentators: Joe Aiello & Jeremy Piven
Announcer: Jessica Stroup
Head Ref: Earl Hebner
Backstage help: Ace Heart
A large cargo van drives up to the arena. Friday Night Rampage GM’s Rev and Gladiator hop out of the van. They lead out a man with a blindfold over his face. Gladiator leans in towards him.
GLADIATOR: “Walk 100 paces forward then take off the blindfold. When you do, we will be gone.”
The man begins to take small steps forward. Rev looks at Gladiator.
REV: “This is by far our best idea yet.”
GLADIATOR: “Remind me to thank Dr. Rosen for her help on this one.”
REV: “Who would’ve thought hypnosis would be so easy and effective?”
GLADIATOR: “So much time wasted on torture devices.”
REV: “Shame on us.”
Rev and Gladiator hop in the van and take off. After exactly 100 paces, he takes his blindfold off. The man behind the blindfold is none other than Joe Aiello. Joe looks around confused.
AIELLO: “What? How did I get here?”
Joe looks at his watch and a look of panic comes across his face.
AIELLO: “Oh crap, I’m late for work.”
Joe rushes into the building. The camera follows him as he makes his way towards the broadcast table. The fans cheer as Brawl’s head commentator waves to the fans. He takes his seat next to Jeremy Piven and puts his headset on.
PIVEN: “Joe, are you alright?”
AIELLO: “I’m fine, I’m just a little late is all.”
PIVEN: “But… what happened to you last week?”
AIELLO: “Nothing happened last week. I just got lost on my way to the hot dog stand. It won’t happen again.”
PIVEN: “But, what about Rev and Gladiator.”
Joe falls into a slight trance at the mention of Rev and Gladiator’s name.
AIELLO: “Rev and Gladiator are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human beings I have ever known in my life.”
PIVEN: “Ha… that wasn't my opinion of them, but to each their own. Well let’s get on with the show.”
Revelations by Audioslave begins to play as the show starts off with a video footage detailing historic events over the Monday Night Brawls twelve year history. Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, from the the very first Champion Black Ninja, to The Rev. Then a special montage is shown of the late Memphis Reigns and his EWC Championship victory over Matt Sentel at Strangle Mania 3.
The opening pyros hit and here we go
