Brawl/Rampage - Shanghai, China - 3/8/10

[MNB]

**In the backstage area of the Shanghai arena, Rev and Gladiator walk proudly with hands behind their backs and smiles on their faces.**

REV: We are finally all powerful, my friend.

GLADIATOR: At long last this company is ours!

REV: Can you smell that? That's the scent of victory in the air.

**Gladiator takes a big sniff.**

GLADIATOR: Sorry. I can still smell the Chinese communism.

REV: Seriously? Even over the victory?

GLADIATOR: It's a mixture.

REV: Really? Victory isn't the predominant scent?

GLADIATOR: It's close, I give you that, but the Chinese communism is still too overpowering.

REV: That's too bad.

GLADIATOR: It's kind of like........... Szechuan spiced Marxism.

REV: I wasn't aware Marxism was a recognizeable smell.

GLADIATOR: Well, now you know better.

REV: Now I know better.

**Rev and Gladiator pause.**

REV: Let's go claim our prize.

______________________________

**Rev and Gladiator are now approaching an office. There's a sign on the door marked 'General Managers'. Gladiator takes the sign down, pulls out a black marker, and modifies the sign to read 'General Managers/ Masters over all'. They open the door to find 4 chairs behind the desk.**

REV: That's odd. Did either of us cultivate a clone? I count only two of us.

OUTSIDE

The cameras were flashing as wrestlers made their way into the arena to prepare for the show. As the last of the wrestlers entered the arena, a black limo rolls up. Ace Heart was already trying to make his way to the limo as the driver hopped out and went to open the back door. The first to step out of the limo was a beautiful blonde that looked like she was scared of what was in the back of the limo. She quickly went to the entrance door and said something to the security before hurrying inside. The next to step out of the limo was none other than the vivacious Veronica, the girlfriend of the one and only Haven’s Outlaw. Ace was trying to get to her but security was having none it as they stopped anyone from getting close to the limo including the reporters. Veronica stood next to the limo door as the final occupant stepped out. The man was none other than Haven’s Outlaw.

“Outlaw, Outlaw a moment of your time please.” Ace was struggling against the guards as Outlaw and Veronica stopped and looked at him.

“Sorry but you had your interview already. I have business to take care of here tonight and it is not talking to you.”

BACK INSIDE

Outlaw and Veronica walked through the entrance door, followed closely by the guards. They made their way to the GM office which of course was where Rev and Gladiator were at currently.

OUTLAW: “Gentlemen, I do believe that you are in the wrong office. This is the office of the current GM’s and according to the contract that I signed with Mac two weeks ago, I was the GM alongside one other that should be here at some point tonight.”

Outlaw smiled as he held out the contract for Rev and Gladiator to look at.

OUTLAW:“Now if you want to work for my partner and me, I’m sure that we can work something out when they arrive.”

**Rev and Gladiator look furious. Gladiator reaches in his pocket and pulls out an identical contract. He reads it over.**

GLADIATOR: Ours says the same thing, only it names us as General Managers.

OUTLAW: Feel free to call head office and get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, I don't plan on leaving.

GLADIATOR: I knew it. Mac's trying to force us out already.

REV: I'm ain't sharing no office with the likes of you!

**Rev storms out. Gladiator points his finger in Outlaw and Deadpool's faces.**

GLADIATOR: This means war.

BRAWL / RAMPAGE
LIVE from Shanghai, China

**The arena is electric. A mixture of green and red spotlights shine all around the crowd. Pyrotechnics explode above the ring. The camera picks up on a shot of Aiello and Jeremy Piven sitting behind the broadcast table.**

AIELLO: It's two shows in one. This is the historic first night of EWC Brawl/Rampage. Two hours of sports entertainment is coming your way. Hello, my name is Joe Aiello.

PIVEN: And I'm Jeremy Piven.

**The camera zooms to the right, revealing a joyful looking imbecile wearing a hat with a propeller on it.**

ARQUETTE: And I'm David Arquette!

AIELLO: You idiot. The Rampage portion of the show is still an hour away!

ARQUETTE: What, I'm not allowed to sit out here with you guys until then?

PIVEN: I don't think there's a law against it, but we'd prefer it if you didn't

ARQUETTE: Awwww.... Fine. I'll just wait backstage.

AIELLO: Before you go, I have to ask. What's with that ridiculous hat?

ARQUETTE: Rev and Gladiator thought it would make me look more intelligent. Sure, it's fun to play with the propeller, but I'm not much o a hat guy. Well.......... see yas!

**Arquette bolts off down the aisle. Aiello and Piven roll their eyes.**

AIELLO: Now we can get on with the show. After a week of terror in the locker room, I for one am THRILLED to learn that Rev and Gladiator DO NOT have full control over EWC television. For now, Outlaw and another unnamed individual will be keeping us safe from being under the dominion on The Sedition.

PIVEN: I couldn't care one way or the other. Besides, Outlaw may not be much better. You're just afraid because before Mac bought out your contract you spent 4 years as their slave in the SWA.

AIELLO: Got that right I'm afraid. You weren't around in the old days in SWA. I know what it's like to be under their rule. My family went into Witness Protection, and even then they kidnapped me at gunpoint in front of my kids. I spent years under their rule, and I have no desire to go back there again.

PIVEN: Get over it. This is a historic night. For the first time ever, EWC's two brands combine into one show. It's Brawl & Rampage in one. We're seeing a lot of mixing up of the competition. Every match tonight features someone from Brawl against someone from Rampage. The timeslot may be shared, but old brand loyalties die hard. Time to go to the fancy graphics and look at what's on the show tonight.

AIELLO: It looks like an interesting night. Here in the Brawl hour, we have two huge matches. We have a bit of a reshuffle first. The 2 out of 3 falls match will be first up. Rampage's new superstar, Larsen Van Der Kamp, shocked the world by winning the guaranteed title shot against Mr. Strange at Stranglemania. Then last week he pulled off another huge upset by beating Pence Weatherlight. Can he continue his undefeated streak straight to the Stranglemania main event? He has to get past a big road block first. William Rast has been one of the brightest stars on Brawl since it's return last fall. He's been absent for a while, and now tonight he makes a triumphant return. Remember that Rast is teammates with Pence in the New Age Legion. He might just be out to redeem his team's honor tonight. The winner will have to secure the best 2 out of 3 falls.

Regular Match
Project Zzyzx vs Captain Insanity

“The following is a Best 2 out of 3 falls match with a 30 minute time limit.”

“Introducing first from Johannesburg, South Africa, weighing in at 229 lbs and standing 6’1”. He is the high flying brawler. This is Larsen Van Der Kamp.”

"New Divide" by Linkin Park plays over the P.A. The crowd jump on their feet and cheer as Larsen Van Der Kamp makes his way towards the ring. He walks to the ring at a slow pace. He keeps his focus straight ahead as he walks down the aisle. When he reaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope. Larsen stands in the center of the ring. He looks around the arena and sees all the fans cheering for him. He appears overwhelmed by their response. Larsen points out to the crowd and nods his head. He sits up on the top turnbuckle and waits for the match to begin.

“And his opponent, hailing from Memphis, TN. He weighs in at 240 lbs and stands at 6’2” tall. He is a former member of the NAL. This is William Rast.”

The lights flicker while the sounds of police sirens are heard. Dumb it Down begins to play over the PA System and out comes William Rast handcuffed and accompanied by a Officer of the law. William winks at all the ladies as he makes his way to the ring. He is then uncuffed and slides into the ring, takes off his jacket and waits for the bell to ring.

“After watching promos this week, I don’t know if Rast knows what he is getting himself into. Larsen looks to be raring to go.”

“It’s all smoke and mirrors. Rast will surprise people with how prepared he is.”

The ref checks both wrestlers for foreign objects before calling for the bell to start the match. Larsen charged in and hit Rast with a vicious clothesline that knocked Rast out of his boots. Rast slowly got to his knees before Larsen helped him to his feet only to level him with an evenflow DDT that shook the ring.

That was a devastating DDT from Larsen. I’m not sure how Rast is even conscious any more after that move.

Larsen grabbed Rast and started to drag him towards a corner when Rast hooked the head and rolled Larsen up into a small package.

1……






2……





Kickout by Larsen.

Larsen cut that one very close. He almost was down 0-1 to Rast.

Rast smiled as both of them got to their feet only to be meet with a spear into the corner. Larsen followed it up with a gutwrench powerbomb towards the center of the ring. Wasting no time, Larsen hooked the leg and picked up the first pinfall.

And just like that Larsen leads Rast 1-0.

The ref backed Larsen to a corner before checking on Rast to make sure that he could continue. After ensuring that Rast was well enough to continue, the ref called for the bell for the match to continue. Larsen went back to work on Rast, chopping the man down some before picking him up for a brutal facebuster.

Apparently that near pinfall by Rast woke up the beast that was in Larsen but I don’t think that it will matter. Rast will pull it out in the end.

Larsen hit Rast with a elbow drop before dragging Rast over to the corner. Rast attempted a second roll up only to be met with a boot to the face. With Rast on the mat, Larsen climbed the ropes. After lining up Rast, /he went for ‘The Memory Remains.’ The move connected as Rast was about to roll out of the way a moment too late. Larsen hooked the leg and rolled a little so that Rast’s foot couldn’t get to the ropes.

3.

“The winner of the match with 2 falls to 0 is Larsen Van Der Kamp.”


PIVEN: What an impressive victory for Larsen. He left no doubt that he is getting primed for Stranglemania.

AIELLO: The man has killed every opponent who has come his way. Mr. Strange has strongly been considered the odds on favorite. Those odds are dropping every week.

PIVEN: Larsen Van Der Kamp is the real deal.

- Captain Insanity is walking down a corridor in the backstage area. He carries the velvet bag from the pawn shop. He stops in front of Rev and Gladiator's office. That is to say the cafeteria kitchen that they've claimed by putting a "Rev and Gladiator's office" sign on the door. Captain Insanity knocks and pushes open the door. Rev and Gladiator are sitting on the floor watching the show on a small black and white TV. Rev and Gladiator both look up at Insanity.-

Rev: Uh, hey. Something we can do for you?

- Insanity opens the bag and pulls out the old Extreme Combat title from SWA. Rev and Gladiator look at the belt and back at each other. -

Gladiator: Hey! Where'd you get that? That's ours!

CI: I found it at a pawn shop. The guy says you sent Skippy to pawn it for money to run Rampage. Besides, how fitting is it that I found this after beating Teen Throb last week.

- Rev and Gladiator look confused. Insanity puts the belt back into the bag. -

Rev: Umm... You lost to Teen Throb.

CI: What?

Gladiator: He locked you in the truck of the car and crashed it into a wall.

- Insanity looks confused and angry. -

Rev: It was a great finish to the match. You looked REALLY out of it. Wanna watch the replay? We got DVR on these old black and white boxes?

CI: No, I don't need to see it.

Rev: but umm... can we have our belt back. That's SWA property.

- Insanity turns and walks out of the room without a word, SWA title in hand. Rev and Gladiator are left looking back and frother between themselves and the door. -

Gladiator: So are we getting our old title back or what?

- Rev shrugs and returns to watching the small TV. -

______________________

AIELLO: So they've started pawning old property to get out of debt now?

PIVEN: Captain Insanity won't be too happy about that. That title was his legacy.

AIELLO: He can make a new legacy if he can beat Project Zzyzx tonight.

PIVEN: You know, there's been a lot of talk about the main event for Stranglemania. Nobody knows how many people will get that title shot. After Zzyzx dominant run on Brawl and her top 3 placing in the Rumble in the Bronx, I'm betting someone may start mounting a campaign to get her foot in that main event.

AIELLO: With her association with Mr. Strange, that might be too dangerous of a move. One way or the other this will be an interesting match. Zzyzx wants to keep this dominant streak going, and Captain Insanity wants to redeem himself from a rather violent loss last week to Teen Throb. Here it comes, main event of the Brawl hour.

Regular Match
Project Zzyzx vs Captain Insanity

[/u][/b][/center]

The lights go down, three purple spotlights shine down on the stage, as Zzyzx and her manager, Alex Tripp, step out onto the stage. As Zzyzx makes her way further down the ramp, the lights come up following her path. Once she slides into the ring, the lights come up, and she walks to the opposite side of the ring, to wait for her opponent to get into the ring, and Alex Tripp stands in her corner.

The crowd erupts in a roar as Project Zzyzx stands in the middle of the ring.

Stroup: Introducing first. Weighing in at one hundred and five pounds. Hailing from Los Angeles, California. She is....PROJECT ZZYZX.

The crowd roars louder after jessica Stroup introduces the first participant.

The lights dim a little as his starts to play. Captain Insanity steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses briefly, looking down at the ring and his opponent(s) before casually walking to the ring, never taking his eyes off his opponent(s). Insanity slides into the ring and quickly gets to his feet.

Stroup: Introducing the challenger. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty pounds. Hailing from Toronto Ontario, Canada. He is....CAPTAIN INSANITY.

Aiello: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, the very first cross brand match on the latest version of EWC, and wat a barn burner match we got *mumbles* courtesy of Sedition *mumbles*, is about to begin. Project Zzyzx formerly of the show Brawl takes on the only officer on Rampage, Captain Insanity.

Piven: You know Joey, that's a good point. What a match to kick off not only the Asian tour, but also the first match to debut this new version of EWC. Two of the companies best competitors set to do battle in this much anticipated match. And Joe, I don't think Captain insanity is really a Captain.

Aiello: Whatya mean?

Piven: Just watch.

As Jessica Stroup exits the ring, Captain Insanity rushes at Project Zzyzx and begins pummeling her in the corner with lefts and rights. After forcing her to the canvas, Captain Insanity runs at the ropes and bootwashes his right foot across the face of Zzyzx. The crowd boos loudly at the dirty tactics of Insanity, but he just shrugs it off and cockingly struts around the ring. Insanity goes back on the offensive and picks Zzyzx up by her hair. Before Insanity can make another move, Zzyzx begins to punch her way free of his grasp. Insanity, the sick Hardcore man that he is, sends Zzyzx crashing to the mat head first by pulling her down by her hair. As Zzyzx is laying on the mat holding her head, Insanity runs the ropes and jumps in the air, landing on Zzyzx's head with a kneedrop. Insanity quickly goes for the cover.

Referee: 1...2

Aiello: Insanity going for a quick cover here.

Zzyzx kicks out at two. Insanity slowly grows a sly smirk across his face as he begins to stalk his small foe. Zzyzx makes it to her feet, but as she turns towards Insanity, he kicks her in the stomach and hooks in a suplex. Insanity executes two suplexes before holding Zzyzx in mid air. Suddenly he comes crashing down to the mat in a brainbuster. Insanity covers Zzyzx again, but before the referee can count to one, Insanity pulls Zzyzx's shoulders off the mat. Insanity picks up his smaller foe and irish whips her into the far turnbuckle. Zzyz's head snaps as the force from the irish whip and the collision of the turnbuckle knock her to the ground. Insanity smuggly walks over to Zzzyzx and grabs her by the hair again. He lifts her to her feet only to be knocked down to the mat with a surprise shining wizard out of nowhere. Insanity lays on the mat stunned as Zzyzx makes it to her feet in the nearby corner. Finally making it to her feet, she realizes Insanity has made it to his feet already and is rushing at her. Insanity leaps at her in the corner, but Zzyzx drops back to the mat and Insanity crashes sternum first into the turnbuckle. Zzyzx slides under the bottom ropes and grabs Insanity's feet causing him to lose his balance and falls backwards. Zzyzx tugs and pulls until Insanity is almost in the corner, groin first. Zzyzx slides back in the ring and runs at the opposite ropes and dropkick's Insanity in the lower back, sending him groin first into the turnbuckle. Zzyzx makes it back to her feet and is on fire as Insanity rolls under the bottom rope. Zzyzx runs the ropes again and before hitting the same side of the ring as Insanity, jumps through the second rope and hits a suicide plancha to the outside. Both superstars stumble backwards and hit the barricade on the outside.

Crowd: EWC...EWC...EWC...EWC...EWC

The referee looks at both competitors and begins to count.

Referee: 1...2...

Both Insanity and Zzyzx make it to their feet, stumbling they lunge towards the ring.

Referee: 4...5....6....

Both superstars slowly roll under the bottom rope as the referee stops the ten count. Zzyzx makes it to her feet first and runs at Insanity, dropkicking him in the stomach. Zzyzx kicks and punches Insanity as he crawls to the ropes to get back to his feet. After making it slowly to his feet, Zzyzx runs the ropes again, but before she can hit Insanity with a move, he jumps and hits a devastating clothesline sending Zzyzx back to the mat. Insanity makes it back to his feet and staggers over to Zzyzx. He slowly picks her up by the hair again, but this time she connects with right hands as Insanity and her begin to brawl in the middle of the ring.

Aeillo: Look at th intensity of both competitors, just plain slugging it out in the middle of the ring.

Piven: Doesn't matter. Zzyzx is trying to prove why she's so dominant and insanity is trying to prove why Rampage has the best. Simple as pie.

Aeillo: Zzyzx is hot.

Piven: You DO know she can tie you up in a pretezel?

Aeillo: Mmmmm.....pretezels.

Piven: Okay.

Inasnity gains the upper hand in the brawl and rakes the eyes of Zzyzx. Zzyzx stumbles backwards and into the ropes. Insanity irish whips her across the mat and cathces her and tosses her up in the air and watches as Zzyzx lands with a thud. Insanity smuggily atruts around the ring and stomps randomly on Zzyzx. When he gets to her feet, he grabs her legs and throws her into a somewhat cradle pin.

Referee: 1..2..

Zzyzx kicks out again at two. Insanity picks Zzyzx up and hooks both arms and lifts her in the air, but before he can land the Last Rites, Zzyzx kicks her legs up over his head and wraps them around his neck and throws her weight back sending Insanity crashing to the mat in a devastating hurricanrana. Zzyzx covers the dazed Insanity.

Referee: 1..2..

Insanity kicks out at two. Zzyzx makes it back to her feet and kicks and stomps away at Insanity on the mat. Insanity tries to fend off as much as possible, but Zzyzx nails a dropkick right in the mouth. Zzyzx stalks Insanity until he makes it to his feet. Zzyzx runs the ropes and slides under Insanity's legs than comes from behind and gets ready to execute the End Transmission, but Insanity dives out of the way. He rolls under the bottom rope, holding his head.

Aiello: What's he doing?

Piven: Migraine maybe?

Captain Insanity starts pacing back and forth outside the ring. Zzyzx looks confused. The ref starts yelling at Insanity telling him to get back in the ring. Insanity continues to pace. He doesn't even seem aware that the ref is trying to get his attention. Zzyzx looks fed up. She jumps out of the ring and walks behind Insanity. He stops at the timekeepers table, with his hands down and his back to Zzyzx. She puts a hand on his shoulder and spins him around. Insanity grabs hold of the old Extreme Combat Title and levels Zzyzx with it.

Aiello: Hey!

The ref jumps out of the ring and tries to grab the belt away from Insanity. Insanity wraps his hands around the ref's throat and starts choking him out. The ref's eyes are blood shot when he motions to the timekeeper to ring the bell.

DING, DING, DING

Other officials rush out to restrain Captain Insanity. He throws the ref down and starts whipping all the other officials one at a time with the Extreme Combat belt. After they all go down, he lays into Zzyzx, beating her with the belt. Security comes out and finally restrains him. They drag a violent tempered Captain Insanity away.


Stroup: Here is your winner, as a result of a Disqualification....PROJECT ZZYZX.


AIELLO: What was that all about?

PIVEN: Must be that time of the month.

AIELLO: I wasn't talking about Zzyzx, I meant Insanity.

PIVEN: The guy lives up to his name. He clearly has a few screws loose.

AIELLO: Well he wanted to redeem himself from a loss last week. Didn't work out as he planned.

PIVEN: A bit of a disturbing end here to the Brawl hour. Join us after this commercial break as David Arquette and Scott Caan take over. We apologize in advance for any offense taken in the next hour. The idiotic views expressed do not respresent EWC or any of it's affiliates.

**The hour fades out with Zzyzx fuming, pushing off medical personnel trying to attend to her.**

[MNB]

____________________

The show returns as the cameras cut backstage. There are several security guards pulling The Rev and Gladiator out of a room. The camera gets into the room, and a EMT is hovered over Kid Cannabis. Cannabis is out cold.

REV: That'll teach the little troutsniffer to mess with The Sedition.

GLADIATOR: So much for the glorious comeback loser.

The security guards pull Rev and Gladiator away as Cannabis is placed on a stretcher and taken away. The camera cuts back to Arquette and Caan, who have now assumed their positions at the broadcast table.

ARQUETTE: What have those evil General Managers of ours done to Kid Cannabis?

CAAN: It appears that they've launched a pre-emptive attack on him.

ARQUETTE: I wonder what this means for our Main Event. It looks as though Cannabis was being taken away. Will he be able to compete tonight, or will Pence have to handle The Sedition on his own?

CAAN: All great questions. Kind of like why you're wearing that looking hat. You look like a middle aged Elroy Jetson!

ARQUETTE: It wasn't my pick. Rev and Gladiator told me to wear it. Although I do love this spinning thing on the top.

**David Arquette starts spinning his propeller.**

ARQUETTE: Hahaha! Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha! This is great!

CAAN: Oh brother. It's time to get to our first match of the Rampage hour. Bryce Bridges has been the most unlucky guy on the Rampage roster. He's been held down week after week by Rev and Gladiator, who have taken an instant dislike to him for some reason. After last week where they sabotaged his match with Skippy Mohophosite, I'm starting to wonder if booking him against Mr. Strange is their idea of putting the final nail in his coffin.

ARQUETTE: I don't know. Bryce seems pretty confident against Strange this week.

CAAN: It's No Holds Barred, No Weapons Barred. Pretty much no rules whatsoever. This is definitely in Strange's element. Time to see who has what it takes.


°º²l]RAMPAGE[l²º°''˜¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨˜''°º²l]§§[l²º°''˜¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨˜''°º²l]2010[l²º°[/center][/b]

No Holds or Weapons Barred
Mr. Strange vs Bryce Bridges

Ding, Ding, Ding!

[/center]

The bell sounds as both men begin to circle each other with weapons they brought down to the ring. Strange has a kendo stick and is holding it very much like a batter in baseball while Bryce has a steel chair. Both men go in for the attack, but Bryce gains the upper hand on Strange's wooden kendo stick as he slams it against it and causes Strange to stagger back. Bryce then hits Strange in the gut with a powerful jab from the steel chair, Strange doubles over, and then Bryce slams the chair home on to the back of the neck of the EWC champion hopeful.

Bryce is making this look easy.

I may hate, Mr. Strange, but he is a member of Brawl, and I seriously hope he can pull a win with the abuse he is taking.

Bryce throws the chair aside and then lifts Mr. Strange up, and then sends him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex with a bridge.

1...


Power Out!

Come on Strange! You can do this!

Strange is the first to get off the mat and rushes at Bryce, he tackles Bryce to the mat, and then straddles him laying into him with rights and lefts. After Strange is pulled off Bryce by the ref, Strange looks over to the kendo stick he dropped earlier from the assault that had occured by the hands of Bryce earlier. He walks over to the stick and picks it up, a wide grin playing on his face as he turns to look at the slightly dazed Double B. He rushes at Bryce like a samurai warrior and makes a hard swipe with the kendo stick to the side of Bryce's head who slumps on to the ropes as it connects. Strange doesn't stop there as he does the same thing to Bryce's legs, knocking them out from underneath him as he does so. Strange smiles and taunts the fans as he picks Bryce up and steadies him before swinging with his full might with the kendo stick right to Bryce's gut.

Ouch that has got to hurt. You think that will bruise?

No question about that. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bryce in a body cast after this match is over with.

Strange is pretty sadistic...

You have no idea.

Strange is clearly not done with Bryce as he uses the kendo stick to begin to choke Bryce out, the ref can't do anything because weapons are allowed. The fans boo as Strange taunts the fans while he is holding the submission. Bryce is visibly in pain as he begins to gag and Strange begins to laugh as he sees the pain on Bryce's face. Strange releases the hold and then picks Bryce up, only to steady him, and then knock him down with a super kick. The fans are outraged as Strange goes for the pin.

1....


2....


Larsen breaks the count!

[/b]

What the hell is Larsen doing out here!?

Trying to interfere in a match...what else would he be doing?

Larsen, who entered the ring holding a base ball bat, has slammed the bat right down on top of Strange's spine. This gets an instant reaction from Strange, who rolls on to his back, growling in frustration. Larsen doesn't let up as he continues to slam the bat down on top of Strange.

The ref needs to get control of this match! Right now!

Finally Strange is going to get justice...wait what is Larsen holding?

The ref, who stepped in to stop this whole cluster fuck, is now holding a paper that he was handed to by Larsen. Larsen laughs as the ref sighs and hands it to a technician who hands it to the announcers.

What a load of crap...no rules! Bloody hell, this has become a no disqualifications weapon match.

This is just crap!

Larsen clearly is smiling to himself as Strange gets to his feet, shaking the cobwebs loose that were put there by Larsen. Strange turns to see Larsen and is caught quickly in his finisher known as Dream Street. He nails the move hard and then makes the cover. The fans cheer a bit as they begin to count.

1....


2....


3!

Fans: Here is your new EWC Champion...Larsen!

Larsen gets up off the mat and spits on the corpse of Mr.Strange, but quickly gets out of the ring as Strange jumps back up to his feet with a grin. Larsen looks at him in a confused state as Mr. Strange begins to laugh. Larsen's grin grows wider as he points behind him. Mr. Strange looks behind him and continues to laugh as he receives a face full of chair.

What the hell is wrong with Strange? He is laughing.

Looks like Strange lost all of his marbles when he was hit with the Dream Street.

There weren't many marbles left before that...guess they are all gone now.

Larsen watches from the outside of the ring as Bryce begins to dominate Strange with powerful swings of his steel chair. All the while, Strange continues to laugh, as if he is enjoying the pain. Bryce gets out a few more swings of his chair before dropping it and going for quick jabs and elbows to Strange's body. Strange doesn't even fight back as Bryce continues to lay into him and deliver more and more power to each hit. Bryce, after hitting a few different combinations, Irish whips Strange into the ropes, and nails an arm drag as Strange returns, and then wastes no time as he goes for a leg drop over Strange's neck. The fans cheer as Bryce gets up and looks at them, he nods his head, and then picks up Strange and nails a Belly to belly suplex, much like the one he used for his first pin attempt, and once again goes for a bridge.

1....


2....


Power Out!

[/b]

So now Strange wants to fight back?

I guess so, otherwise he wouldn't be powering out of the pin.

Maybe he has finally come to his senses?

Strange and sense do not mix, you will learn that in time.

Bryce Bridges picks Strange up and stands him in the center of the ring. Bryce backs himself right against the ropes and charges forward, hitting The Edge of Seventeen, a hard Roaring Elbow to the back of Strange's head. Strange falls flat on his face. His body vibrates as he continues to laugh. Bryce rolls him over and hooks both legs.

1...




Strange smiles and chuckles...




2...




Strange's laugh volume increases. His smile becomes more sadistic.




3!

Chirqui: Your winner, by pinfall, BRYCE BRIDGES!

Bryce springs up to his feet. He runs to the corner and raises his arms victoriously. The fans boo Bryce. Strange continues to laugh. Bryce watches the reply on the TitanTron. He sees Van Der Kamp's interference and looks a little confused.

ARQUETTE: Bryce Bridges just pulled off the upset of the year!

CAAN: No Holds, Weapons, or Van Der Kamp's Barred.

ARQUETTE: Straight up according to the rules. Bryce Bridges just defeated the #1 contender for the EWC Championship.

_________________________

**Backstage, Rev and Gladiator are watching a monitor. They're approached by Haven's Outlaw.**

OUTLAW: What was that all about?

REV: I haven't the foggiest.

OUTLAW: I don't want to find out you guys orchestrated that.

GLADIATOR: Stop running around pretending to be boss. We've earned our spot here. I'm warning you, stay out of our business.

REV: Yeah, and if you interrogate us again without just cause, we'll have to settle this like men. One, Two, Three Four, I declare a thumb war!

**Rev holds up his fist and tries to look intimidating. Outlaw rolls his eyes and walks away.**

REV: That's what I thought!

**After Outlaw is out of view, Larsen Van Der Kamp steps out of the shadows. He approaches Rev and Gladiator.**

VAN DE KAMP: Just remember the deal.

**It cuts right back to Arquette and Caan.

ARQUETTE: What was that all about?

CAAN: It's so hard to keep track of all the rule breaking with those guys.

ARQUETTE: Larsen Van Der Kamp has drawn first blood in the war between him and Strange. We know it'll all come down to the main event at Stranglemania, but there are still lots of opportunities for Strange to get revenge before then. Van Der Kamp is obviously a really brave man pulling a stunt like that, or he has another angle we don't know about.

CAAN: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been passed a note from management. We interrupt the entire world tonight to bring you a message from Rampage's Greatest Superstar, the one and only Moses Lake.


"Money" by Pink Floyd begins to play. The cameras cut to the entry way, expecting Moses Lake to appear, but instead, there is a small, highly paid Jewish Lawyer standing in his place. He is holding a microphone in one hand and a clipboard in the other.

HIGHLY PAID JEWISH LAWYER: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Joseph ben Josephman and I am Moses Lake's attorney. I have flown here tonight on a Mr. Lake's private jet to inform you that my client will not be appearing tonight.

The fans start to boo.

JOSEPH BEN JOSEPHMAN: You see, last week, after Mr. Lake had won his 40th career singles match, he had a post-match celebration that involved... things that I am not at liberty to discuss that may or may not have actually happened. While Mr. Lake is innocent until proven guilty, the judiciary system of Angola may disagree. Nonetheless, for the time being, Mr. Lake continues to be incarcerated in Luanda, but, rest assured that my team of highly over-paid and entirely too-Jewish lawyers are working around the clock - on triple-paid overtime - to make sure Mr. Lake is free for next week.

More booing from the fans.

JOSEPH BEN JOSEPHMAN: It remains to be stated, though, that my client is not impressed with the current state of affairs here in EwC. Having to work on Monday will now interfere with his weekly poker game with Johnathon Taylor Thomas, Larry the Cable Guy, and Richard Branson. Furthermore, "Rampage's Greatest Superstar" is not pleased with having to share a billing with the lowly scum that is Brawl. He will be here next week to express his displeasure, along with what is surely to be the most extravagant and ridiculously lavish celebration the EwC has ever seen to honour Moses Lake's inclusion to the 40-win club. Thank you for your time.

There is more booing as "Money" plays again - costing EwC $40,000 for it's usage - and the lawyer retreats behind the curtain.

CAAN: It was nice of him to grace us with his lawyer's presence.

ARQUETTE: There's no end to this Moses Lake nonsense. You know I had to give up my hotel room so that Moses Lake's attorney's pet kitten would have a place of her own to sleep.

CAAN: If you need a place to crash...

ARQUETTE: Oh, thanks Scott.

CAAN:........ I'm sure China has a Salvation Army equivalent.

ARQUETTE: Uh......... yeah........... thanks.

CAAN: Hey, What about the main event? We're minutes away, and there's still no word from medical on whether or not Cannabis is fit to compete?

ARQUETTE: The war between The Sedition and Cannabis is just about as old as the war between Pence and Cannabis. It's so weird to see those two guys willing to team up together. I guess their hatred for The Sedition is strong enough to unite even the fiercest enemies.

CAAN: This was supposed to be Cannabis' big comeback. Now there's no telling if we'll even see him.

ARQUETTE: Many people have been saying he's a weaker man since he came back, but I have a feeling he'll be in that ring even if it kills him.

CAAN: I'm sure the fans are holding out hope. Half of them probably paid to see Cannabis tonight. This is one of the most popular stars in recent EWC history.

ARQUETTE: Possibly rivaled only by Pence Weatherlight. This is it. Only 2 men had the guts to challenge our tyrant bosses, one of them may not be cleared to fight. The wait is over. Here is the main event of the evening.
