(We see a limo pull up backstage and EWC Prez Mac goes up to it smiling.)

Mac: Hey man great to see you............oh it is just you.

(William Shatner gets out of the limo.)

Shatner: Do I know you?

Mac: Mr. Shatner why did you come here?

Shatner: Isn't this The Sky Dome in Toronto?

Mac: No it is The EWC Stadium in Ottawa.

Shatner: Crap thank you very much sir.

Mac: Hey Mr. Shatner you would not have seen Michael Saint would you?

Shatner: Who?

Mac: Nevermind.

(The limo leaves the arena.)

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, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Mac and Steve Bennett. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Shadow Man, Hirsh Valentine, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, James Chambers, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray, Gladiator and then The Rev all with the World Championship.

The pyro goes off as the show gets ready for another great show.

Cameras cycle through the crowd, showing how pumped the fans are for the matches to start.

Joe: Welcome everyone to Ottawa, Ontario. We are here for the 13th Anniversary of Brawl. For the first time in history, all four announcers will be calling matches.

Jeremy: That’s right. We will alternate matches with the exception of the Crazy train match. A coin tossed backstage to determine who go to call the first match and Joe & I will be calling the first match.

Before the match could begin, Outlaw appeared on the Titantron.

“The stipulation for the following match will be decided by the instrument that is behind me.”

The camera pans back and the wheel of torture now is in the scene. There were five different types of matches on the wheel: Buried alive, Singapore on a pole match, barbwire rope match, steel cage match and highway to hell match. Outlaw smiles as he spins the wheel. Suddenly the wheel comes to an abrupt stop on the barbwire ropes match. Outlaw laughs as the camera catches a glimpse of his hand on before the screen went to static.

Jessica Stroup – The following contest in scheduled for one fall and, as determined by the wheel of torture, is going to be a barbed wire ropes match. The stipulation for this match is the ring ropes will be replaced with barbed wire. The first person to score a pinfall over the opponent wins.

"Basic Thugonomics Remix" begins to play on the PA. The fans jump out of their seats cheering.

So, you think you're untouchable?

[John Cena: Chorus (Scratched) x2]
Word life--this is Basic Thugonomics
Word life--I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me

People watching at home see Jesse's titantron playing on their screen for a few moments. Then it returns to the stage area and Jesse is standing there looking down at his feet with his forearms crossed in front of him. He stands there for a few moments as then Jesse lifts his head up and gives a smirk as he then puts his arms in the air doing the “Word Life” hands as the fans cheer. The camera zooms out from the rafters to show the whole arena on their feet. The camera then zooms back in front of Jesse along with his manager Victoria. Jesse is wearing his black "The Prodigy" t-shirt with a chain with dog tags around his neck. He also has on a black hat on his head. The hat reads "The Prodigy" on the front and his name on the back, the hat is tilted slightly to the right of his head so that is barely covering over his right eye but he could still see and you could still see his eye barely. Every time the song starts to scratch, Jesse does the “You Can’t See Me” wave with his right arm which has the black basketball shooting sleeve on it.

Jesse Nunez:
Whether fightin’ or spittin’ my discipline is unforgivin’
Had you down for the count, another time re-livin’
I am the face of wrestlin‘, know the name
There ain’t no time for restin’, got to play the game
Enter my state of mind to see where my life be
Now take the hate in my life and times it by three
Take the hint kid, I ain’t gonna back down
You hear my theme playin’ its time for Smackdown
I’m takin’ the E.W.C by force
You face me I’ll show you no remorse
Call me Brawl’s franchise player there’s no stoppin’ me
Thug KoneXion, Force, there ain’t no toppin’ me
Cold blooded killer in the heat of the night
“You Can’t See Me” kid I’m out of yo’ sight
The Champ is back yo’ whole label is whack,
Matter of fact, take yo’ ---- and take yo’ ass to the back

Jesse has the "Word Life" fingers in the air going down the ramp toward the ring.

[John Cena: Chorus (Scratched) x2]
Word life--this is Basic Thugonomics
Word life--I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me


Jessica Stroup - Introducing first, weighing 240 lbs, being accompanied by Victoria. From Phoenix, Arizona, Jesse "The Prodigy" Nuñez!

Jesse looks around the stadium and sees everybody cheering him around the arena. Jesse then runs and slides into the ring, underneath the barbed wire ropes As he stands up he looks around at the fans once more. Jesse walks to the furthest turnbuckle away from him as he climbs to the middle turnbuckle he puts the "Word Life" fingers in the air holding it in both hands, as he does gold sparks fall from the rafters around the ring. Jesse jumps down as the sparks continue to fall; he does the same on the opposite turnbuckle, the sparks end. Jesse then takes his hat off and throws it into the crowd. He also takes off his t-shirt and throws it at the opposite side of the crowd. He walks over to the furthest turnbuckle and he begins to throw punches to get him warmed up. He then takes off his chain with the dog tags on it and hands it to someone at ringside. His theme music begins to die off.

Word life--I'm untouchable but I'm forcin' you to feel me

The music fades out. “Coma White” by Marilyn Manson begins to play throughout the stadium. The fans boo loudly as Mr. Strange comes from backstage, onto the ramp. Fog explodes in a glow of red as Strange slowly walks down the ramp, ignoring fans attempts at high fives.

Jessica Stroup - And the opponent…standing 6’2, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is your EWC Undisputed Champion…….MR. STRANGE!!!

The fans boos grow louder at Strange enters the ring, sliding underneath the barbed wire ropes. Nuñez and Strange are patted down by the referee, Earl Hebner.

Piven – What a match to kick off the 13th Anniversary of EWC! This is sure to be a great match.

Aiello - Match of the night potential, in my opinion. These two competitors are simply astounding.

Piven – Here we go!

The referee calls for the bell. Nuñez and Strange measure each other up. Nuñez runs at Strange looking for a clothesline, but Strange ducks it. Nuñez turns around and gets a forearm to the nose. Strange throws rights and lefts, backing Nuñez up to the corner. Strange goes to throw a huge right, but Nuñez dodges it and delivers a hard fist himself. Strange lets off, stumbling backwards. Nuñez charges him, and drops him to the mat with a shoulder block. Nuñez gives him a few stomps before lifting him off the ground. Nuñez attempts to whip him into the barbed wire ropes, but Strange hangs onto Nuñez’s hand, reverses his momentum and hits an armdrag on Nuñez, bringing him to the ground. Strange then puts him in an arm triangle. Nuñez looks like he is in pain, but quickly reverses that, by throwing an elbow with the free arm. Strange stands up, Nuñez along with him. Strange attempts a dropkick but Nuñez grabs his legs. Nuñez hooks the legs, looking like he could attempt a boston crab, but instead tries to slingshot him into the barbed wire. Strange goes flying but catches himself before falling into the ropes. Strange instead uses his momentum to springboard off of the second turnbuckle and hit a flying crossbody on Jesse Nuñez. Strange attempts to steal a pin.

Kickout!

Piven – Strange attempting to steal one!


Strange gets up quickly, picks up Nuñez, and gives him a few knees to the head. Nuñez stumbles a little bit. Strange kicks him in the chest. Nuñez falls backwards into the turnbuckle. Strange throws wild punches, and kicks him a few times in the hamstring. Strange backs up a little bit, goes to throw a kick, but Nuñez reverses and drops him into the middle barbed wire rope with a drop toe hold. The barbed wire cuts deeply into Mr. Stranges upper torso. Strange does not attempt to move, as he is hurt. Nuñez rips him from the barbed wire, puts him in a headlock, and throws him head over heels to the mat. Nuñez keeps the pressure on the headlock. Blood coming from Stranges open gashes gets on Nuñez a little bit. However, Strange does not allow Nuñez the upperhand for a long time. Strange flips Nuñez over and onto his shoulders, attempting to steal yet another quick pin.

..Kickout!

Piven – Another quick pin attempt by Mr. Strange.

Aiello – Yeah. Check out the cuts on Strange’s chest. Those things are bleeding pretty badly. That is just the beginning of things.


Nuñez and Mr. Strange both get up about the same time. Strange and Nuñez lock up again. Nuñez overpowers him, gets him into suplex position, and slams him to the mat with a fisherman hook suplex. Nuñez hops back up, and delivers a vicious knee drop on Strange. Strange rolls over, holding his forehead. Nuñez moves to Strange’s lower body, stomping his legs and hamstrings. Nuñez grabs Strange’s left leg, looking to already go for the PHX, but Strange flips over onto his back and kicks Jesse Nuñez right in the groin. Strange gets up very quickly, and Jesse is still bent over. Strange sticks Nuñez’s head in between his legs and piledrives him into the mat. Strange looks like he wants to the pin, but instead picks up Nuñez. Nuñez gets a quick punch in, stunning Strange for a second. Nuñez gains composure quickly, and runs at Strange. Mr. Strange takes advantage of his ring awareness, and goes for Nuñez’s right leg just as Nuñez is about to give him a hard clothesline. Mr. Strange lifts him in the air and swiftly flapjacks him directly onto the barbed top rope, face first. The crowd gasps as Nuñez falls backwards onto the mat, face severely cut.


Piven – Oh my god! Would you look at Jesse Nuñez?? His face is shredded from that flapjack into the barbed wire!


Aiello – I think this is more punishment than either bargained for!


Strange gets up off the mat and taunts arrogantly to the crowd. A large simultaneous you suck chant begins to form in the crowd. Strange shrugs it off and leans over the hurt Nuñez, and goes for the pin.

Kickout!!!!!!


Aiello – Would you look at the fight in this kid!


Strange gets up confused and frustrated. A pool of blood has formed where Jesse lies, but nonetheless Jesse gets up off the mat, ready to fight back. Again the two lock up. Now Strange gets the upper hand, swinging Jesse into a hammerlock. Jesse thinks quickly, reaches underneath his leg and grabs Strange’s leg, catching him off guard and making him fall backwards. Nuñez gets him into a single leg crab. Strange fights to get released from the hold, but Nuñez will not let up. Not much Strange can do, grabbing the ropes would not be the ideal situation. However Strange refuses repeatedly to tap out. After a minute or two of this, Strange is able to roll over onto his back, and kick Nuñez off of him. Nuñez anticipates Stranges next move and ducks an attempted sweet chin music, and slams his chin with an uppercut. A stunned Strange walks into a spinebuster courtesy Nuñez. Nuñez wastes little time, climbing to the top turnbuckle, carefully making sure he did not get caught up in the barbed wire. Now he is standing on the top rope, getting his balance. Strange takes advantage of Nuñez being on the top rope, gets up, and grabs his leg. Nuñez struggles to stay without falling to either side. Strange pulls the leg out from underneath him, causing him to fly off the turnbuckle, and actually land groin-first onto the top rope of barbed wire. The crowd roars as Nuñez falls off the turnbuckle, into the ring, in unbearable pain. Strange soaks in the crowd boos as his competitor lies in the ring barely able to move. Blood pours from Nuñez’s thighs and lower body. Strange slowly walks to Nuñez, and takes the cover on him…

Piven – This isn’t right! I can’t believe this!


Aiello – What a cheap move!

KICKOUT!!!!!!


Aiello – I can’t believe this! Nuñez kicks out! He will not give up!

Piven – Unbelievable, these guys.

Strange pops up off the ground, and immediately walks to the referee, beginning to argue with him. As Strange continues arguing the count with the ref, Victoria, Nuñez’s manager, slides the EWC championship belt into Jesse. Nuñez uses what he has left of his energy to get up off the mat and creep up behind Strange. As Strange turns around, his own belt blasts against his face. The crowd goes crazy as Nuñez drops the belt and falls on the cover. The referee takes the count.

KICKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Aiello – Are you kidding me??? Mr. Strange showing some real resiliency here too!


Piven – He is our Undisputed Champion, Joey. You think he is just going to take a loss like that?


Both men are lying used on the mat. The crowd is still going crazy as Nuñez and Strange struggle to their feet. Nuñez makes it to his feet first, but is at his breaking point. Strange is up, and runs at Nuñez looking to attack, but Nuñez catches him out of nowhere with a spear!


Aiello – Check it out! Nuñez with a spear out of nowhere!


The crowd really gets behind Nuñez as he once again begins to climb to the top rope, despite what earlier happened. This time, Strange does not get up. Nuñez leaps off the top turnbuckle, and hits a flying leg drop onto Mr. Strange. Nuñez is too exhausted to roll to the cover, though. After another minute or so, Nuñez gets up. As he goes to lift Strange up off the mat, Strange reaches into his trench coat, revealing a pair of brass knuckles. Strange cracks Nuñez in the chin with them, causing him to stumble backwards, however Nuñez yet still remains on his feet. Strange slides the knucks aside and gets back onto his feet. Mr. Strange gets behind Nuñez and gets him into a very tight sleeperhold. Nuñez is only on his feet for a few seconds before falling to the ground. He already seems to be knocked out. The referee grabs his arm once, and it falls. Twice, and it falls yet again. The third time, Nuñez keeps his hand in the air, fighting back, the crowd still behind him. Nuñez gets to his feet, obviously gassed out from the match. A few elbows cause Strange to release the hold. A hard right hook ensues from Jesse, and then a clothesline taking down Strange. Strange gets up and receives another hard clothesline, then a shoulder block, and finally a big back body drop. Strange gets up, bent over, and receives a throwback face buster. Nuñez now goes off his momentum, picks up Strange, and shoves him into the barbed wire ring ropes. The crowds cheers get even louder as Stranges chest bleeds more and more. Nuñez comes up behind Mr. Strange. He grabs both arms of Strange and begins to twist his body and the opponent’s body to turn around, so Strange is now facing Jesse's back. Jesse still has the opponents arms locked.


Aiello – Jesse Nuñez looking to end the match! Will he deliver the 602??!?!


Piven – The champs in trouble!


Nuñez plants Mr. Strange into the mat. The crowd is still going wild as Nuñez takes the cover on Strange.

Aiello - HE DID IT! NUNEZ WINS!


Piven – HE BEAT THE CHAMPION!


The bell rings as Untouchable begins to play over the PA. Nuñez gains his composure, struggling to get to his feet. The referee raises his hand high into the air.


Jessica Stroup – HERE IS YOUR WINNER……JESSE NUNEZ!!!!!


Nuñez gets down on the mat, and rolls underneath the bottom rope to the outside, joining Victoria, his manager. Both head backstage with their heads held high.

[MNB]

The large screens all around the new EWC Stadium start to flicker and a large sound of thunder is heard. The screens then show a count down from 5 to 1

Once it hits zero fireworks go off all around the Stadium. The thousands in attendance then explode in cheers as Shadow Man appears on-screen. He appears to be talking on the phone

SM: "...I don't give a flying chickens sauce about the Monkeys family"

Laughter, and a chant of PEOPLES CHAMP begins to erupt. Shadow then spots the camera and hangs up the phone

SM: "Don't you just hate telemarketers Ottawa?"

An eruption of cheers

The camera pans out a little to show Shady standing in-front of the Slaughterhouse he is to do battle in tonight

SM: "I love the smell of blood and guts in the evening don't you? There's just some kind of essence attached to it, a sort of... as the French say.. 'I don't know what'..."

More laughs

SM: "Anyways, I just wanted to say that I am damn proud to be on the Anniversary show here tonight. The EWC has been my one and only home since I came..."

Looks into the camera

SM: "That's what she said"

More laughter

SM: "...onto the wrestling scene and I owe all you fans and the staff and everyone who has supported me and doubted me *snicker* throughout the years. I promise you one hell of a match tonight! It's going to be the craziest damn match you have ever damn seen in your damn life. Damn it"

Loud cheers

SM: "And as a token of my appreciation, since only a handful of you will be on location to see the match while the rest of you watch from the Stadium, and of course the millions at home.. I have a little gift for you all"

An uproar of cheers is now almost defining

SM: "WHOA! What is Justin Timberlake in town? Holy MOOOOOOOLY!"

Laughs

SM: "For those in the stadium, if you reach under your seats you will find a little gift from me to you..."

There is a commotion in the stands as everyone looks under there seats, then a mixture of laughter and cheers

SM: "That's right my People, tonights match will be in SHADY-VISION! It's better then 3D. James Cameron has nothing on me! For all those at home, you can sign up on the EWC Website and print out a coupon for your free pair of SHADY-VISION glasses which can be picked up at your local 7-11"

More cheers and chants

SM: "Okay boys, girls and chicken lovers.. Enjoy the show tonight and don't forget to watch my match tonight in SHADY-VISION to get the full experience of blood, gore and kick-ass-ity!"

Shadow gives a salute to the fans as the screens fade and fireworks sounds off all over once again.

“The following is an I Quit match and will have a 20 minute time limit.”

The song “Welcome Back” by Jeezy begins to play through the PA system. The crowd instantly starts to boo as the red curtain is thrown back and from behind it walks Cannonball Kid. Kid taunts the crowd by flexing his shining muscles. Pyro shoots off behind him as he walks down the entrance ramp. He slicks his hair back and continues walking. He gives no high fives and pretty much ignores the crowd. He takes the steel stairs a step at a time. He swings himself through the ropes and enters the ring.

“Introducing first, from New Orleans, LA, weighing in at 280 lbs and standing 6’4” tall. He is the ‘Hardcore Hellraiser’ and one of three men to win the rage in the cage at Stranglemania. This is the Cannonball Kid.”

“The Cult of Personality” by Living Colour starts playing as Eddie Dangerously stalks out from behind the curtains, posing at the top of the rampway. He smirks as he swats away the hands of the three fans that actually like him as he makes his way to the ring. He looked at CK with malice in his eyes before mocking the crowd some.

“And his partner, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 235 lbs and standing 6’1” tall. He is the Immortal, Eddie Dangerously.”

“It looks like there is a little hostility between Eddie and CBK.”

“Everyone hates the man that gets the title shot. It is just the way of the land.”

The Xtreme-O-Tron bursts to static as the lights dim down and begin to flash different colors at random. The fans turn their eyes to the entrance ramp, as all the lights go out. A voice comes out over the speakers saying, “Baby, don’t fear the Reaper.” Then the lights come on. “Everything” by Pillar hits the speakers now and the lights begin to flicker red, white, and blue. The fans all begin to cheer as Pence emerges on the entrance ramp wearing a red, white, and blue vest with a pair of black and blue shorts. As he salutes the fans, they all begin to chant “Mr. Main Event”. Pence made his way down to the ring, slapping hands and taking poses so that fans can take pictures of him. He finally made it to the ring and posed as he waited for his partner to show up.

“And their opponents, first from Hershey, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 250 lbs and standing at 6’0”. He is the Reaper, Pence Weatherlight.”

As the opening strands of “Heart in a Cage” by the Strokes come out over the speakers, Kandi Cage struts out from behind the curtain. She smiles as she waves to the crowd that was in attendance. She walks down the rampway, high-fiving fans before getting to where Pence was standing.

“And his partner, from Toronto, ON, weighing in at 125 lbs and standing 5’4” tall. She is the Ace, the one and only Kandi Cage.”

When Kandi and Pence slid into the ring, CBK and Eddie hightailed it out of the ring to regroup and plan. The ref instructed them to get one of them in the ring for the match to start. Eddie decided to take the first crack as CBK took his spot in the corner. In the opposite corner, Pence and Kandi were playing rock, paper, scissors to figure out who starts the match. Kandi won the battle when her scissors beat Pence’s paper. Pence stepped out of the ring as the ref called for the bell to start the match.

“What were the GMs thinking when they book Kandi in this match? The guys in this match each weigh roughly about twice her.”

“If she wants to run with the big dogs, then this is where it starts.”

Kandi and Eddie charged at each other before Eddie changes his direction a little bit and clotheslines Kandi right out of her boots. He smiles as he pulls her up by her hair and drags her over to one of the corners. He started to unload a flurry of punches into Kandi’s rib area while she was draped in the corner. Pence attempts to get in the ring to help her and the ref stopped him. While the ref wasn’t looking, Kandi landed a well-placed low blow that derailed Eddie some. With a moment to breath, Kandi gathered her wits, jumped and kicked Eddie in the head. Eddie dropped to the mat as Kandi got to her feet and made it to her corner for a tag.

Eddie tried to get something started early but Kandi was quick to stop him in his tracks.

Pence stepped into the ring and did a running leg drop on Eddie. Pence went for a pin and the ref waves him of, stating that the opponent has to say I Quit to lose. Pence got back to his feet and pulled Eddie up to his feet. Pence sent Eddie into the ropes with the intent to sidewalk slam Eddie back to the mat. As Eddie returned towards Pence, Eddie ducks under Pence’s arm and rebounds off the other side. CBK makes a blind tag as Pence grabs Eddie off the rope and slams him into the mat.

That is where knowing where your partner is comes in handy. Pence has no idea that CBK is the legal person.”

Pence has his back to CBK as Pence has Eddie in a sleeper hold. CBK kicks him in the back of the head causing Pence to let go of Eddie before falling to a knee. CBK smiled as he kicked Pence in the head again before dragging Pence to the corner, where he proceeds to try to take off Pence’s arm with the ring post. Eddie and Kandi are on the outside of the ring, beating each other on the barrier with the second ref watching just incase one of them say the words that stop the match.

“Is CBK trying to rip Pence’s arm off?”

“It serves the do-gooder right for messing in matches that aren’t his speed.”

CBK smirks as he hears the shoulder pop. CBK rolls into the ring and drags Pence to the center of the ring where he locks an armbar to the injured shoulder. CBK pulls deep on the shoulder causing Pence to scream in pain as he attempts to find a rope to grab. Realizing that there was no chance to break the hold, he motions to the ref to bring the mic over.

As this is going on in the ring, Kandi had a grounded Eddie on the outside and had locked on the crippler crossface.

Pence: I Qu….

Eddie: I Qu

Pence: ….Quit.

The bell rings

Eddie: ….Quit.

What the hell? Who the hell won the match?

Both refs huddle as they tried to figure out what happened. After about five minutes of discussion, the refs move to the timekeeper’s table.

The winners of this match are…………..The Cannonball Kid and Eddie Dangerously.

******

(We see Jesse Nunez walking backstage moments after his match when he is approached by EWC Prez Mac)

Mac: Hey Jesse.

Jesse: Hey Mac what is up?

Mac: First off good match.

Jesse: Thanks a lot.

Mac: Second have you seen Michael Saint?

Jesse: I have not. I did not know it was my day to watch him.

Mac: I was just thinking since you work for him that you would know if he is here yet?

Jesse: He was not on the same flight as I was and I have not seen him at the show at all.

Mac: Crap. Thanks anyway.

********

Jessica Stroup - The following match is a Dumpster Match!!!! The way to win this match is to get your opponent into the dumpster and shut the lid. So, without further ado, introducing first, from Los Angeles California, standing 5’10 and weighing in at 180 pounds, he is….Ianzky De Tornado!!!


“Wind of Change” by Scorpions pounds through the PA system as Ianzky comes from backstage and onto the ramp. Smoke pours from the sides of the entrance ramp as Ianzky taunts to the crowd. He walks slowly down the entrance ramp, strutting as he walks. There is a mixed crowd reaction. Ianzky slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope, jogs to the turnbuckle, and hops up. Looking out to the crowd, he points, and jumps high in the air, does a backflip, and lands firmly on his feet.


Jessica Stroup - And the opponent….from Dublin, California, standing 6’2 and weighing in at 103 kg, his name is….Mike Corral!!!


The lights turn white and blue as the opening of "Toxic" begins to play. As the vocals begin, Mike Corral & Stephanie make their way out to cheers from the crowd. Stephanie gives Mike a kiss on the cheek before they begin to walk down the ramp. As they get to ringside, Stephanie gives Mike another kiss on the cheek before entering the ring a la Melina. Corral turns to the fans and gives a shit-eating grin before diving through the ropes. Mike quickly hops up and climbs the nearest turnbuckle, looking out into the crowd. Mike hops off and stands in the corner while Stephanie sits on the turnbuckle, both of them waiting for Mike's opponent.


Piven : Ladies and Gentlemen, I am expecting a great match between these 2 tonight. Again, the stipulation for the match is to get your opponent actually inside the dumpster, full of trash, and to close the lid on them.


Aiello : Here we go! Buckle your seatbelts everyone!


Referee Earl Hebner calls for the bell as the two stare down each other for a moment. Both Corral and De Tornado look to the outside of the ring, at the dumpster, and then back to each other. They waste no time coming at each other, locking up. De Tornado is backed up by Corral. Corral gets De Tornado into the corner and begins pounding him down with hard rights lefts and a few well placed kicks to the midsection. De Tornado is now sitting down in the turnbuckle, looking a little dazed. Corral bounces off of the ropes and gives him a slide dropkick to the face. De Tornado grabs his face in pain as he rolls to the outside of the ring. De Tornado lies on the outside mats, but slowly begins to get up. Corral waits by the ring ropes, looking ready to fly. Now that Tornado is on his feet, Corral springboards over the ropes, looking for a crossbody, but De Tornado moves and Corral eats mat. De Tornado laughs as he digs under the ring and finds a cookie sheet. Corral stands up only to find his head meeting with a cookie sheet. He wobbles, but does not fall. De Tornado gives him a blow to the gut with the cookie sheet, and drops it to the ground. De Tornado hooks Corrals head in a DDT position. Ianzky suddenly sprints at the barricade, pushes off of it, and slams his head onto the cookie sheet. Corral clutches the top of his head, which is obviously in some pain. De Tornado lifts up Corral, attempting to throw him into the steel steps, but Corral reverses this and Tornado goes flying into the steps shoulder first. Corral laughs as he picks De Tornado off the mat and slides him into the ring. Corral grabs a kendo stick from ringside before joining De Tornado in the ring. However, Corral is barricaded with stomps by De Tornado as soon as he slides into the ring. They trade blows for a second, before De Tornado has a chance to irish whip him off the ropes and connect with a short armed clothesline. They both pop back up off the ground. This time Corral hits him with a shoulder block. Corral goes bounding off the ropes, leaps off the ground, and hits a flying elbow smash. De Tornado falls to the mat hard. Corral picks up his kendo stick and waves it around. As soon as De Tornado gets to his feet, Corral swings, but De Tornado ducks, and lands a dropsault style dropkick.


Aiello : Check out these 2 lightweights really going at it!


Corral slowly gets to his feet. He is whipped into the corner. De Tornado charges at him and gives him a shoulder spear into the corner. Corral stumbles aimlessly away from the turnbuckle, leaned over. De Tornado hops to the second turnbuckle, jumps off, attempting a whisper in the wind. However, before De Tornado can finish the rotation, Corral pops him in the face with the kendo stick, mid-air. De Tornado drops limp to the mat.


Piven : Oh my! Did you see that? He just completely blindsided him with that kendo stick!


Aiello : No joke, Piven. I would be surprised if Ianzky De Tornado is still conscious.


Corral ascends to the top rope. Corral dives off the top ropes, looking for a flying splash. He connects. De Tornado clutches his stomach in pain, as does Corral. Both men are down for a few moments. Corral is the first up. As he picks De Tornado up off the mat, Ianzky gauges his eyes out. Corral is temporarily blinded. De Tornado throws Corral over the top rope in order to buy himself some time. De Tornado recuperates in the ring for a moment, and then exits the ring. Corral gives him a kick to the midsection, and throws him into the barricade. Corral gives him a spinning wheel kick into the barricade. As Tornado rests against the barricade, Corral slaps him across the face with an open hand. This seems to anger Tornado. Tornado throws a roundhouse that is ducked. Corral jumps into the air and lands a pele kick to the back of Tornados head. Tornado drops to the mat stone cold. Corral begins to drag Tornado towards the dumpster. Corral has a tough time getting De Tornado to his feet. Corral attempts to hoist Tornado into the dumpster, but Tornado struggles. Corral slams his head into the side of the dumpster somewhere around 9 times before trying again. De Tornado still shows signs of struggle. Corral picks up De Tornado in X Bomber position, but Tornado flips off his back and gives him a swinging neckbomb. Both men lie on the mat for quite a bit before getting back up to their feet.


Aiello : What a match! Ianzky De Tornado and Mike Corral really both want to win this one.


Piven : I don’t see either one giving up.


Ianzky is now up. From out of the dumpster, De Tornado pulls an old tennis racket. Corral gets whacked over the back with it a few times, leaving marks on him. De Tornado picks up Corral and whips him hard into the side of the dumpster before planting him with a suplex onto the mats. De Tornado gives Corral a few stomps to the midsection and face. De Tornado picks him up, and gives him a backbreaker. Ianzky runs his fingers through his hair, thinking of what to do next. De Tornado pulls a McDonalds bag out of the dumpster. Inside of it, a halfeaten cheeseburger. De Tornado begins to cram the cheeseburger down Corral’s throat, causing him to choke. As Tornado turns to get something else out of the dumpster, a kendo stick finds the back of his head, and breaks. Corral falls back down to the mat, in exhaustion.


Piven : Corral really loving that kendo stick.


Aiello : Yeah buddy! I wonder what the ending to this dumpster match could bring.

Corral slowly gets to his feet, in a lot of pain. Corral goes to lift up Ianzky De Tornado, but Tornado hits a jawbreaker on Corral, stunning him. A spinning enziguiri whacks Corral on the jaw. De Tornado gets Corral up, and tosses him over the dumpster, head over heels. De Tornado shuts the lid on Corral, winning the match. The bell rings.


Piven : Corral is in the dumpster! Ianzky wins!


Aiello : What a victory for the rookie.


Jessica Stroup – Here is your winner…IANZKY DE TORNADO!!!


Ianzky De Tornado gets his hand raised at the end of the match. “Wind of Change” plays as he slowly wobbles backstage, holding the hurt areas on his body.

[MNB]

(We are in the EWC catering area and we see the members of the roster eating food as EWC Prez Mac comes in.)

Mac: Alright has anyone here seen Michael Saint?

Jesse Nunez: I already told you no.

Mr. Strange: I saw him.

Mac: Where?

Mr. Strange: On TV when he did his Bottomline a few weeks back.

Mac: I meant did anyone see him here he is ref for the next match!

Mr. Strange: You have a vein bulging out of your neck Mac settle down.

Mac: I swear to god I am going to kill him when he gets here.

Chriqui: “The following match is the Blood Bath Match!!!
A winner will be declared when his opponent passes out in a pool of his own blood.
Now introducing the special guest referee for this match,
Hall of Famer, MICHAEL SAINT!!!”

Arquette: Is Michael Saint even in the building yet?

The cameras focus on the entranceway, but no one comes out. "No Regrets" by Dope begins to play and Johnny Insane comes out from behind the curtains, hopping on his right leg before doing an arms out 360 degree turn. He begins walking down the ring with a confident swagger. He gets to the ring and goes to his right. He runs and hops onto the apron and flips into the ring. He goes to the turnbuckles and places his left foot on the top as he points to the skies, dedicating each match to his dead baby brother.

Chriqui: “Introducing first,
Hailing from Fresno, California,
Standing at 5feet and 11 inches,
And weighing in at 215 lbs,
JOHNNY INSANE!!!”

Edge of Seventeen by Jonas hits the PA system as the lights turn pink and green. Bryce walks out with his trademark zebra capone hat. He walks with a cocky undertone, getting booed every step of the way. He goes to high five a fan who trys return the favor, but before he makes contact, he quickly lows his hand, and gives the fan a pissed off look. Bryce shakes his head in a disapproving manor and moves along. Once at the apron, he takes a step back, takes off his hat, gets a running start, and slides into the ring. Once in the ring, he does the Super Crazy front flip nip-up. He does to the turnbuckle and climbs to the second rope. He makes a chicken wing with his right arm, taunting for the roaring elbow. He climbs down from the turnbuckle. The lights go back to normal and the music fades out as Bryce prepares for the upcoming match.

Chriqui: “And his opponent,
Coming at you from the Edge of Seventeen,
Standing at 6 feet and 4 inches,
And weighing in at 254 lbs,
BRYCE BRIDGES!!!”

Bryce Bridges and Johnny Insane immediately begin to exchange blows in the center of the ring. Bryce gets the upper hand and backs Insane into the corner. He hits Insane with some hard knife edge chops to the chest. He then whips Insane to the opposite turnbuckle. Bryce charges at him and hits him in the corner with a Stinger Splash. Insane stumbles out of the corner and falls flat on his face. Bryce climbs up on the top rope. He dives off and drops down on Insane with a Leg Drop. Bryce picks Insane up and attempts to whip him off the ropes. Insane reverses the whip and sends Bryce towards the ropes. Bryce rebounds off the ropes and Insane ducks down for a Back Body Drop. Bryce leapfrogs over him and rebounds off the ropes again. Bryce runs at him and hits him with a hard ROARING ELBOW. The elbow to the head immediately busts Insane open. Bryce removes his elbow pad and reveals that it was lined with a steel plate. He tosses the elbow pad aside and starts hit Insane with hard punches to the forehead as he works at further opening the cut. As Bryce works Insane over, The Rev appears on the stage. He raises a mic.

REV: “Bryce Bryce, Bryce. You just can’t take a hint, can you?”

Bryce looks up and notices The Rev on the stage. He lets go of Insane’s head and turns his attention to Rev. Insane crawls his way to the corner and rests his head on the bottom turnbuckle.

REV: “We in The Sedition have given you every opportunity to succeed here, but you have let us down time and time again. We really did want to give you a crack at the Main Event, but every time we were ready to deliver you came out and sucked up the show. We even got you a win against Mr. Strange weeks before he became the EWC Undisputed Champion. Now granted Strange seems well on his way to becoming the next Stray, but still we handed you the win on a silver platter. What did you do with the win? You continued your streak of mediocrity with an embarrassing loss to Captain Insanity at Stranglemania. I am afraid your time is up Bryce. You have bored us for the last time.”

Gladiator slides into the ring from behind. He holds a steel chair high in the air and Bryce slowly turns around. As Bryce turns to face Gladiator, Gladiator swings the chair down and cracks Bryce over the head with it. The chairshot was so hard that Bryce’s head left a large dent in the chair. Bryce now is busted open. Rev runs into the ring and he and Gladiator begin stomping down on Bryce.

Arquette: This just isn’t right. These monsters have been holding Bryce Bridges back months now. Can’t they just leave the guy alone?

Caan: Have you ever known The Sedition to leave anyone alone?

AIELLO: (Trance) The Sedition’s are the masters of the universe.

Caan: I rest my case.

Rev and Gladiator continue their assault on Bryce. Gladiator holds up the chair and Rev picks him up. Rev whips Bryce towards Gladiator. Bryce runs towards Gladiator, and Gladiator swings the chair like a baseball bat. He hits Bryce Bridges hard in the head. Bryce hit’s the mat. Gladiator holds the chair on Bryce’s head as Rev climbs up to the top rope. Rev jumps off the top rope and stomps down on the chair, crushing Bryce’s head underneath. The Sedition continue to stomp down on him. Suddenly there appears to be some sort of ruckus in the crowd. Michael Saint comes rushing through the crowd. As he runs through the crowd he takes off his shirt. He jumps the barricade and the time keeper hands him a striped referee shirt. Saint puts the shirt on and slides into the ring. Saint pulls Rev and Gladiator off of Bryce and points towards the backstage area. Rev and Gladiator cross their arms and shake their heads. Saint leans out of the ring and motions towards the ring announcer. She comes closer and Saint whispers something in her ear.

Chriui: “Referee Michael Saint has ruled that if The Sedition do not leave the ring, Johnny Insane will be disqualified and Bryce Bridges will be declared the winner.”

Arquette: It’s about time someone stands up to those tyrants.

The fans cheer and Rev and Gladiator start to throw a fit. Slowly but surely they make their way back, yelling at Michael Saint all along the way. Michael Saint checks on Bryce to make sure he is still conscious. Bryce starts to get up to his feet. Insane rushes over and starts stomping down on Bryce, but Bryce fights him off. Bryce gets up on his feet. Insane charges at him, but Bryce catches him with a Turntable Suplex. Bryce picks Insane up and slams him down to the mat with a Lyon Bomb. Bryce goes to the outside of the ring. He reaches under the ring and pulls out a sledgehammer. Bryce rolls into the ring with the sledgehammer in hand. Bryce stands over Johnny Insane and starts slamming him in the head with the sledgehammer. He hits him repeatedly. As he smashes Johnny in the head with the hammer blood pours from Johnny’s face. His eyes begin to roll back in his head, and he finally passes out. Johnny lies unconscious in a pool of his own blood. Saint checks to make sure he is completely unconscious. He calls for the bell and raises Bryce’s arm.

Chriqui: “Here is your winner, BRYCE BRIDGES!!!”

(The Blood Bath Match is concluded and Michael Saint is standing in the ring as Mac comes to the ring.)

Saint: Hello.

Mac: You know I should beat you to within an inch of your life right now.

Saint: I can't help that I am sexy and you are jealous of it.

Mac: No I meant that you just got to the EWC show right in the middle of the match you were going to ref. Coming out of the crowd no less.

Saint: Hey it is not my fault. I had to take a late flight out!

Mac: Where were you that was so important?

Saint: I was at the final KCW PPV! I tried to get an earlier flight, but Jesse Nunez took the last ticket!

Mac: I did not see any KCW PPV last night.

Saint: We tape first. We have our show on Tuesday. I guess I pissed off someone working for someone and they are punishing my awesomeness.

(Mac rolls his eyes.)

Saint: I can't help it I am fucking awesome man!

(Saint flashes a cheesy grin and gives a thumbs up to the crowd.)

Mac: I guess I should not be shocked you nearly gave me a heart attack many times as my VP. Why would you ever stop?

Saint: I am going to be the death of you do not worry it is my goal in life.

Mac: I know I know.

(The two men shake hands and leave for the back)

Arquette: Now we go live to a local bar where the participants in our next match are waiting.

Caan: Looks like a busy joint. I see....I see Zero, but where's Nathan Harter?

Arquette: I don't know JP, but....wait, I think he's coming in the bar now. Yup, Nathan Harter has just arrived. The referee is about to get this match started.

Zero and Harter stare each other down as the drunks around the bar look on in a hilarious facade of debauchery. Zero attempts to throw a haymaker, but slips on some puke and stumbles past Harter and falls into a table. Harter turns and pounces on Zero and begins to punch him repeatedly in the head. Zero manages to push Harter off of him with his legs and make it to his feet. Zero pushes Harter into the bar and accidently bumps Harter into a big burly biker leaning on the bar. Harter and Zero stop dead in their tracks as the biker's beer spills over the side of his glass. Infuriated, the biker grabs Harter by the back of the neck and quickly grabs Zero and bashes both of their heads together. Both men begin to stumble backwards as the biker throws lefts and rights, each connecting to the other's jaw. Finally the bouncers in the bar grab the big biker and throw him out of the establishment. Staggering backwards, Harter slips and falls accidentally brushing his hand against a drunk slutty looking woman's buttocks. As he is making it to his feet, Harter is slapped in the face by the woman than has a beer bottle broken over his head. Slumping to the floor again, Harter sits on the broken glass, than quickly jumps back to his feet as the glass pierces his backside. Zero makes it to his feet and quickly runs towards Harter as he turns towards him. Zero catches Harter in the jaw with a left hook and sends Harter head over heels over a nearbyu table, spilling the drinks of the patrons all over them. Harter makes it to his feet, but as soon as he does Zero jumps on top of him and begins to punch and choke him. Suddenly a brawl breaks out in the background between some patrons and a pool cue is broken over Zero's back. Zero urches back in pain as Harter punches him in the stomach, but than one of the patrons kicks the downed Harter and a full out brawl ensues. Suddenly the camera man falls over and the screen goes to snow.

Caan: Uh....

Arquette: Folks.....We lost connection to the bar fight.

Caan: Uh....

Arquette: Well I'm getting some feedback from the camera truck...they are telling me to inform everyone that the macth will continue as soon as we have a stable connection again.

Suddenly the screen goes from snow to picture again. The other patrons in the bar have Harter on the bar and are sliding him into all the drinks on the bar. Zero is being carried away on the shoulders of the bouncers. The bouncers toss Zero out the front door. They walk to the end of the bar and scrape and somewhat conscience Harter off the floor and carry him to the bar. They toss him out and suddenly the patrons circle the referee.

Referee: This match has been decided a no contest due to outside interference on both parties. Both men are disqualified.

After making the announcement, the referee and camera crew run out the door to safety. The camera shoots back to JP and Aeillo.

Arquette: Well you heard it folks. Both men have been disqualified. This match has gone to a no contest due to outside interference.

********

REV: This, my friends, is truly a day of days. What a way to celebrate the excellence and domination of the stable known as....

SEDITION!!

As the spooky supervillan background music plays, outside the newly constructed EWC arena, the Sedition...

The Rev, Gladiator, and EWC Hardcore Champion Kid Cannabis, laugh as they marvel at what the co-GM's just blew a big fat wad of President Mac's paper on.

In front of the arena are three 40 ft. tall statues cast in bronze. One statue features the Rev using the Force to choke Jesus out, the second, Gladiator, draped in an American flag, waterboarding Al Gore, and the third is Kid Cannabis, kicking Pence Weatherlight in the groin while the Kid wears a shirt that says "$5 Footlong" with an arrow pointing down at his crotch underneath the lettering.

Gladiator: Money well spent!

Cannabis: Yo, Rev, my man, this is cool and all that, but, dude, it's f**king freezing out here, playboy. You said you had something to show us that'd blow all our minds for this anniversary special.

Giant, overpriced statues of us in all our glory isn't mind blowing enough?

Dude, I once went forward in time in a promo just to diss a boring ass rookie.

Speaking of that, Rosen needs her time machine back...

Uh....it's in the shop right now...I...I'm getting it waxed and Simonized....

*wipes his forehead nervously*

So, Rev Run, what's this big announcement.

Simply put, my marijuana loving, angry Afro Centric madman, Gladiator and I realized we're having security problems during the shows.

Plus, Mike Saint and his 80's obsessed self got this for a steal....

Probably literally. I saw that cat with a ski mask and a set of jaws of life...

Dude, seriously, you STILL owe me $12!

In order to keep law and order in EWC venues, we present to you, EWC's NEW head of security.....

ED 209!

Oh, snap!



Lumbering out of the lobby, ED 209 spots a young kid with a Jesse Nunez spinner belt replica and stops him.

ED 209: HALT! YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF POSSESING AN ILLEGIAL AND CORNY PIECE OF MEMORIBILIA. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO DROP THE SPINNER AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!

Kid: Mommy, help!

What is the meaning of this...

Suddenly, ED 209 gets confused and starts talking like the Terminator....

I NEED YOUR CLOTHES, YOUR BOOTS, AND YOUR MOTORCYCLE!

What's wrong with it?!

Frigging Saint. This thing probably hasn't been upgraded since 1991. Much like Saint's wardrobe!

It stomps around, with more glitches in it than Windows Vista while fans flee for their lives.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!

This isn't good!

It shoots a rocket at a Molson's truck dropping off beer.

BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS!

It flips out, tossing cars in the parking lot, knocking over power poles. Police start mobilizing, terror ensues until...

If you seen the movie, stairs aren't exactly ED 209's strong suit.....

JOHN CONNOR! COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE....

CLANK! WONK!

KA-BOOM!

ED 209 explodes, and Sediton just stands there, dumbfounded while the fire department puts it out. Silence ensues until...

Eh, at least it wasn't that crackhead robot in RoboCop 2. Damn, did that sequel suck!

*Cannabis looks at the camera*

Happy Annversary, EWC!

You know Sedition does a party!

[MNB]

Survival of the Sickest blares over the PA system. Balthzar Cross emerges from behind the curtain and slaps the hands of the fans along ringside. When he gets to the ring steps he shuffles up the steps and steps through the middle rope. Balthazar Cross walk over and grabs a microphone from the ring announcer and clears his throat.

Cross: Ladies and gentlemen. I have some news that I believe the EWC universe should know. It pertains to a match being cancelled tonight and the participants in that particular match. The match I am referring to is the handicap match involving THE Brian Kendrick and his opponents Rex Ryker and Nate Madison.

The crowd boos loudly.

Cross: Now please bare with me while I make this ground breaking announcement. First, THE Brian Kendrick. Mr. Kendrick has been fired from EWC for violation of the EWC Drug and Alcohol Abuse policy. He tested hot and tried to tarnish the great name of this company. For his underhanded and pathetic attempts, he has been fired and banned from any future EWC shows and events. Security has been warned and so have ALL local Police departments in all countries the EWC will be visiting in the upcoming months.

The crowd roars loudly with approval.

Cross: Now onto Mr. Ryker and Mr. Madison. Again, please bare with me.

Balthazar Cross pauses momentarily to collect himself.

Cross: Mr. Ryker and Mr. Madison have decided to fly together to save money. A smart move on their part. But as always there is a danger with anything and everything that happens in life. Mr. Ryker and Mr. Madison were on a flight up here to Ottawa, when suddenly the plane was highjacked by....by.... by monkey's. That's right folks, Mr. Ryker and Mr. Madison are in the custody of terrorist monkey's. We do not know exactly what these monkey's want and we are prepared to pay them in any amount of bananas they want. We will keep you updated on this situation as it unfolds.

Balthazar Cross drops the mic and hops out of the ring, laughing to himself the whole time he is walking up the ramp.

************

The 17:30pm train out of Toronto pulls out of the station and made it past Guildwood without disturbance before there was a crash from the dining car in the middle of the train. As the camera crew hustled to where the commotion was coming from, people were pouring out of the car on both sides, trying to get out of the way of the fighters. Ebon was behind the bar while Eddie Mendez was climbing out of the debris that was a dining table. Ebon smiled as he grabbed a bottle of vodka from behind the bar, taking a swig of the clear liquid before coming from behind the counter, and lined up his shot as Eddie got to his feet. Eddie turned around just in time to dodge the swing of the bottle before directing a swift kick to Ebon’s right knee. As Ebon grabbed for his knee, Eddie took the bottle and bust it over Ebon’s head.

Ebon grabbed his head as he stumbled back against the counter. Eddie chuckled as he tackled Ebon over the counter to the floor. The cameras got around the corner as Eddie was unloading on Ebon with rights and lefts. Eddie landed a right cross and then went for the cover as the train passed through Oshawa.

1……..



2………


Kickout by Ebon.

Eddie chastises the ref for taking too long on the count as Ebon started to clear his senses. Ebon wiped the blood out of his face as he grabbed Eddie from behind and slammed him into another dining room table. Ebon wasted little time and went for the cover.

1………


2………

Ebon picked up the first pin as the train exited Oshawa. Ebon smiled as he looked at the slowly rising Eddie. Ebon grabbed Eddie and threw him against the car door, leading to the economy class car. Eddie hit the door hard but it didn’t come off its hinges. Ebon chuckled as he opened the door leading outside before opening the economy car. With the way cleared, Ebon tossed Eddie through the doors. Ebon slowly made his way into the car, following Eddie. Ebon was a little stunned as he looked around the car and didn’t see Eddie anywhere in the car. Ebon slowly search the car as he passed by the seats, unaware that Eddie was actually right behind Ebon with a laptop that one of the passengers left behind when they fled.

About halfway through the car Ebon turned around only to be met with laptop to the face, shattering the laptop in the process. Eddie laughed as he looked at the bloody mess that was Ebon’s face. Eddie picked up Ebon and powerbombed him through two of the seats before covering Ebon.


1…….

2……..




3.

Eddie tied up the match at 1 pin a piece as the train rattled through Kingston. The ref backed Eddie up as the ref checked to make sure that Ebon could continue. Ebon chuckled as he got to his feet. Ebon and Eddie locked horns again as they battled for the upper-hand. They battled back and forth towards the back door. Ebon got the upper hand and knocked Eddie out temporary before going to the back door, only to find it locked from the outside. Ebon took the fire extinguisher from the wall and busted out the window before turning and hitting Eddie in the head to keep him down while Ebon went back to the door and reached through the broken glass to get to the lock so that the door could open.

Ebon smiled as he felt that he was going to be vindicated as he turned to face Eddie who was slowly getting to his feet. Ebon grabbed Eddie by the neck and dragged him on to the caboose of the train. Ebon grinned as he went to superplex Eddie over the railing but was blocked by Eddie hooking the leg. Eddie slow was coming to his senses and hit Ebon with a couple of shots to the ribs to get Ebon to let him go. Eddie backed up a little bit and rushed in for a tackle, knocking both Ebon and Eddie over the railing. Eddie had the mindset to grab the railing as Ebon tumbled on the rails.

The winner of the match is Eddie Mendez.

***************

Cut to backstage, where Big Danny Mac is sitting in his office, speaking to an anonymous voice on the telephone. He is surrounded by various old PPV promotional posters and awards.

Mac: Yeah…well, yeah obviously I’m very happy with the result. I think it’ll---

Mac suddenly stops short in mid-sentence, his eyes diverted to something in front of him.

Mac: Listen…can I call you back? Thanks. [/color]

Mac puts down the receiver cautiously. The camera suddenly pans right, to reveal that Michael Howell III is standing in front of Big Mac’s desk. He still has a bandage on his head from being struck by a shovel during Stranglemania. From the body of the arena, the audience roars at the confrontation, which has been a half decade in the making. Mac calmly puts down the receiver .

MH3: Well, well, well…The president himself. It’s been quite a while since I’ve stood in here, hasn’t it?

Danny Mac keeps the composure that he is famous for, showing nothing but manners to an uninvited guest.

Mac: Hello, Michael. It’s good to see you. [/color]

Howell chuckles forebodingly and comes closer to the desk.

MH3:I wish I could say the same. You know…it’s been years, Mac. Years since you and this place sabotaged my career. And not a day has passed by since I haven’t thought about that. Not a day has passed by since I haven’t felt the absence of the EWC World Heavyweight Title.

Mac lets out an exasperated sigh. The kind of sigh a man gives when he’s heard a story too many times.

Mac: Is that what you came here to tell me? Because whatever it was that happened… I stopped carrying it around a long time ago. You’re the only one left with hurt feelings. I moved on. EWC moved on. I didn’t have to sign your contract, you know. But I did so because something in you sounded different. Something in your voice. Something in your demeanor. Was I wrong, Michael? [/color]

Howell laughs, as does Midas, deep from within the recesses of his mind.

MH3: Something in me? Yeah…I guess you could say something “different” has gotten into my head. But I came to say this...Our past? Everything that happened between us?...

Danny Mac stands up from the table, his chair wheeling away. There is a long tense moment, as the two men stare into each other’s eyes, both ready to defend themselves if need be.

MH3:…I don’t give a shit about it. Not as long as you don’t stop me from becoming the EWC World Heavyweight Champion. That’s what I’m here for. That’s what I care about. That’s why I came back.

Mac raises his eyebrow, before sitting back down and defusing the situation.

Mac: Well…after winning at Stranglemania, you’ll certainly have your chance won’t you? That’s all I can promise. A fair chance. Just like everyone else. [/color]

Howell scoffs.

MH3: We’ll see, Mac. We’ll see.

Michael exits off camera. Mac sighs again, straightens the collar of his shirt and sits back down into his chair, re-dialing the number he had just called.

Fade.

***********

Arquette - Time for the Slaughterhouse Match!


Caan - This will really prove who the King of the Deathmatch is! The X going head to head against Shadow Man, how do you predict this one, David?


Arquette – You never know. I think the X is great, but against Shadow Man? We will just have to see. Now let’s go to the slaughterhouse.


We switch cameras and find ourselves in a local slaughterhouse in Ottawa. Shadow Man and The X stand about 5 feet away from each other, each holding a baseball bat. Referee Sylvain Grenier rings a bell in his hand, and the two instantly begin swinging their bats. Shady nearly connects, but X ducks and whacks him across the gut with the Louisville Slugger. X drops the bat and gives a hard knee to Shady’s face. Shady stumbles backwards. X comes at him but Shady drops him with a hard right. Shady picks him up and throws his head hard into a nearby grocery cart filled with weapons. Shady pulls a leather strap, a rope, and a dog collar from the grocery cart. Shady lashes him hard with the strap a few times, dazing X. Shady puts the dog collar around X’s neck, loops the rope through, and ties him to a steel pole. Shady lashes him across the face with the strap. Shady leaves X unattended and walks around a corner and down a long hallway. The camera follows as he heads into a freezer room, with dead pigs hanging from the ceiling. Shady continues looking around the room as if he’s looking for something. Out of nowhere, X smacks Shady over the head with a chair. The rope is cut, but still hangs from the dog collar around his neck. X continues to slam the chair into Shady’s back multiple times before picking him up and throwing him into a cluster of dead pigs. X comes after him, but Shady dropkicks the chair straight into X’s face. Shady acts like he is going to take the cover, but instead mounts X and begins to give him hard rights and lefts to the face. He drops a few standing elbows into the face of X before picking him up and dragging him along by holding onto the dog collar. Shady bashes his head into a cement wall twice before giving him a Russian leg sweep onto the floor. Shady is relentless as he picks up X and gives him an overhead belly to belly, with X flying through the air upside down and slamming his back against a cement wall and then sliding down it, landing on his head. Shady does not even stop to take the pin. Shady disappears around the corner, and comes back around with the grocery cart. X is woozy, but standing up. Shady rolls the cart towards him, but X moves and the cart slams into the wall, tipping over and spilling its contents. X picks up a pizza cutter from the ground and runs at Shady. Shady attempts to run but is tackled. Before X can cut up Shady with the pizza cutter Shady kicks it out of his hand and gives him a hard uppdercut. Shady gets up off the ground, walks to the spilled weapon pile, and picks up a beer can. X narrowly misses a shot from a beercan, and takes down Shady with an incredible clothesline. X decides against taking the cover, and instead picks up car battery off the ground. X stalks Shadow Man with the battery….BAM! X forces the battery right into Shady’s face with extreme force. X drops to the ground and takes the cover.

Kickout!!!!

X gets up and slides the car battery aside. A plate of unbroken sheet glass presents itself in X’s hand. Shady takes it hard to the top of the head before being taken down with a swinging neckbreaker. X gives Shady a standing leg drop, then goes back to the weapons pile. A bag of thumbtacks is dumped across the floor. X picks up Shady and hooks his head, looking to hit a DDT on Shady onto the tacks. Shady gets his way out of the predicament, gives X an eye gauge, and steps away for a second, catching his breath. X runs at Shady looking for a spear, but Shady catches him off guard and slams him to the ground with a T- Bone suplex. Shady gets up stumbling and finds a can of mace. As X gets up, he is maced by Shady. Shady picks up a guitar and belts it across X’s bald head. X is still standing, but barely, and is starting to bleed badly from above his left eye. Shady shows no mercy as he gives X an airplane spin, confusing him as to his whereabouts. He drops X. X throws a few wild punches, missing every time. Shady grabs X by the dog collar, and brings him over to the pile of tacks. X feels a tack penetrate his boot, and realizes what Shady is about to do. A wild, desperate haymaker from X connects and drops Shady. Shady lands backfirst onto the pile of tacks. X’s knuckles are bleeding from the hard punch. He walks to a wall and rests against it, waiting for the mace to wear off. Shady lies on the ground, tacks all over him. Small streams of blood crust on his back, as he attempts to stand up, and then falls back down on the tacks, more and more piercing him. After a minute or so, Shady is finally up, plucking tacks from his face and arms. X’s vision is nearly back, but not quite, so Shady bulldogs him onto the hard ground and takes a quick cover.

Kickout!!!!

Shady gets up, looking a little tired and frustrated. X can now see clearly but is on the ground. Shadow Man gets a bent up steel chair and comes at X. X is up now. Shady aims the chair at X, but X ducks and Shady smacks it into the ref. Shady turns around and is given a lowblow, followed by a DDT onto the steel chair. X considers a pin, but realizes the ref is down, so he gives himself a minute while Shady remains on the ground. X picks up Shady and puts him in a headlock. He begins to walk, bringing Shady with him. They come up to a series steel door. X looks hesitant to enter any of them, so instead sends Shady headfirst through the first door. A loud thump is heard. We walk into the dark room. X finds a light switch, flips it, and the lights come on. We are inside of a stall, with a horse. The horse neighs as Shady gets up careful to stay away from its hooves. X grabs the horses water bucket quickly, and throws dirty water all over Shadow Man. Shadow Man cannot see. X bashes his head onto the wooden fence holding the horse into the stall, before throwing him through the door and back into the hallway. X follows him, not closing the door behind him. X spears Shady to the ground. He lies down in pin position, but the referee is nowhere to be found. X gets up to go find the referee, and finds he is just recovering from the earlier mistaken chair shot. As X turns around to get back to Shady, a crowbar meets with his forehead, dropping him cold. The referee takes the count…

WAIT!!!!

The horse had escaped from the stall and is charging towards the referee. The ref jumps up, leaving X and Shady, and runs into the freezer room, shutting the door behind him. Shady picks up X, dodges the horse, and brings him into the freezer room. Before shutting the door behind him, Shady brings a new steel chair, the crowbar, a briefcase, and a machete. He closes the door behind him, getting rid of the horse problem. Shady takes a few shots as X’s hamstrings with the crowbar before grabbing the machete. X is lying directly underneath a dead pig hanging from the ceiling. Shady takes a few whacks at the pig with the machete. The pig is cut and half and falls from the ceiling. X rolls out of the way just in time to dodge the 150 pound half pig. X gets up. Shady drops the machete, and wields the steel chair. X equips himself with the briefcase. X limps as he comes at Shady. Shady trips him, dodging the briefcase, and X takes another steel chair shot, this time to the back of the head. Shady looks out the freezer door through a window, and the horse is nowhere to be seen. Shady picks up X, and brings him outside the freezer room. Shady gets the grocery cart and gets it up, and puts X in it. Shadow Man begins to wheel X’s halfway unconscious body through a few different corridors. It leads us to another big steel door. Shadow Man opens it up. We find ourselves looking at a flight of stairs, taking us down to another steel door that has an exit sign above it. Shadow Man gives X a few hard rights, before going down the steps, opening the door to the outside of the slaughterhouse, and climbing back up the stairs. Shadow Man gives X a push, sending him down the flight of stairs, grocery cart and all. X immediately flies out of the cart and rolls down the stairs, hitting the walls surrounding him as he goes. The cart goes flying out the door and X stops, barely moving at the bottom of the stairs. Shadow Man goes down the stairs, picks up X’s limp looking body, and brings him outside the slaughterhouse and outside. 4 cars are in the parking lot. Shady’s car, X’s car, and 2 EWC media vans. Shady lets go of X’s limp body, letting him fall onto the hard pavement. Shady jogs to a media van, enters it, and grabs a TV monitor, and a few loose cables, along with an unopened can of Dr. Peppers. The media men inside the van look really scared as Shadow man exits the media van and walks back over to X. Shady pops open the Dr. Pepper, pours half of it into his mouth, and spews it all over X’s face. X gets up surprisingly quick, spitting out Dr. Pepper. X and Shadow Man now face each other, both bloodied and beaten. Shadow Man runs towards X with the TV monitor, but X quickly sidesteps him. Shadow Man finds himself getting a german suplex onto the parking lot pavement. X grabs some cables and begins to choke out Shadow Man. Shadow Man is not able to fight for long. The referee grabs his hand twice, and it falls, but right before it falls the third time Shadow Man rips the wires from his throat, and punches X right in the Adams apple. X rolls over, clutching his throat. Shadow Man walks back over to the media van, rips the headlight from the front of the car, and waits for X. X is bashed over the head with it, busting his head open even more. Blood pours from X’s forehead badly now. Shadow Man picks up X and scoop slams him onto the hood of the media van. Shadow Man walks around the back of the van, opens the double doors back up, and clears out some of the media personnel. A bunch of monitors and papers sit atop a wooden table. Shadow Man rips all of the cables, TV’s and everything else on the table off of it, and hops out of the van. He slides the table to the edge of the hatch, and brings it down on the cement. Shadow Man picks up the heavy table and walks it over the side of the media van, about 4 feet from it. Shadow Man walks back to the hood of the Van, and climbs on top of it. X is drowsy, and on all fours. Shadow Man smacks X’s head into the windshield before dragging him by the dog collar up to the very top of the van. Shadow Man picks up X, grabs him by the head, puts him in cutter position, and leaps off the top of the van, bringing X with him!!! Shadow Man hits the GBC through the wooden table, 8 feet off the ground!!! The table breaks and X lies lifeless on top of broken wood chips. Shadow Man can barely drag himself over to X’s unconscious self, turn him over, and take the cover on X.

The referee rings the bell he is holding and raises Shadow Man’s hand. Shadow Man takes a few minutes to get up off the ground. Blood is covering him, and hundreds of thumbtacks are still sticking to his body. X is not moving, and laying in a pool of his own blood. The scene cuts back to the EWC stadium in Ottawa.

**************

*"The Imperial March" hits the speakers and a chorus of boos erupts from the crowd. EWC General Manager The Rev appears at the top of the entrance ramp. As the music fades out he has to wait for the angry shouts from the crowd to die down before speaking.*

REV: If it isn't the 13th anniversary of EWC. I bet everyone has been wondering where The Sedition have been in the last 2 weeks. You can call it a bit if a boycott. It wasn't too long ago that Mac asked Gladiator and myself to run his little Rampage project. I always questioned why he would hand over 50% of his TV time to us, the individuals who spent years trying to sabotage his company from the inside. I figured it was a momentary lapse in judgment, but now I have other suspicions.

Placing us in charge of the secondary program kind of backfired. Everyone thought we were out of our mind to book the matches we did. They said the censored would shut us down. They didn't. We were thought to be mad when we signed Moses Lake to a $13,000,009.16 guaranteed contract, but it worked. He walked over the best Rampage had to offer, and then the best Brawl had to offer. In the end Rampage surpassed Brawl in the ratings. What a surprise it was when Mac announced that the two shows would merge. I thought the time had finally come when The Sedition would have FULL control of the EWC. Mac obviously had other plans.

Enter: Balthazar Cross and Haven's Outlaw. We walk into work our first day as all powerful creative control only to find these two dimwits walking around pretending to do our job. I thought it was a joke. No joke. Mac had given two new GMs equal power to us and Gladiator. I wasn't ready for a power struggle. Not an internal one at least.

So Gladiator and I disappeared for a few weeks, but I wasn't about to miss the 13th anniversary show of the federation that my years of success helped build. Good old EWC has finally hit puberty. Time to let the corporate corruption begin. I said I wasn't going to enter an internal power struggle. That's because, effective immediately, the power struggle has gone external. Ever wonder where all those missing dollars from the budget went to? It lined our pockets just enough to get funding to reopen the one, the only, Sedition controlled wrestling promotion, the SWA. Mac, Cross and Outlaw won this round. You've kept us from gaining absolute power here in EWC. It's time we went to war.

But I'm not about to walk off into the sunset just yet. I still have a contract that gives me 50% control over EWC programming. For EWCs pubescent anniversary show, I plan on executing that. What I do I do now to exercise my creative control. I'm not done with this place yet. I feel like seeing something different tonight. I noticed my long time rival Jay Cee is facing some albino has been named Michael Howell. Iron Man matches are too old school. Let's up the stakes here. In tonight's main event, hanging above that ring will be $10,000 that I personally withdrew from Mac's bank account earlier this afternoon. Either Howell or Jay Cee will be lucky enough to walk out with that $10,000. All you need to do is climb a 15 foot high ladder and reach it.

As for Cross and Outlaw, I said I wasn't done with this place, and I mean it. SWA or not, The Sedition still have 50% creative control of this show, and you never know when we'll show up and use it. Ladies and gentlemen, let the war begin.

*************

The show returns from break with Jay Cee already standing in the ring. He arrogantly struts around the ring mouthing off to the fans who are booing him.

The lighting in the arena takes on a golden hue, as “The World is Not Enough” slowly begins to play. From backstage, Michael Howell emerges in plain wrestling attire, with a faraway look in his eyes.

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

Michael makes his way to the ring, seemingly in a trance, oblivious to the audience around him. He slides into the ring and watches as stage hands finish placing the ladder at the bottom of the entrance ramp.

DING, DING, DING

Howell immediately slides out of the ring to go for the ladder. He picks the ladder up and starts to carry it towards the ring, but Jay Cee jumps to the outside and takes Howell down with a Vaulting Body Press. Jay Cee picks the ladder up and slides it into the ring.

Howell now throws him in the ring and climbs up on the top rope. Jay Cee gets up and pushes Howell off the top rope. Howell flies off and hits the barricade. Jay Cee climbs on the top rope and jumps to the outside, nailing Howell with a Diving Lariat. Jay Cee picks Howell up and smashes his head into the ring steps. Jay Cee tries to do it again, but Howell elbows him in the stomach. Howell then grabs Jay Cee's head and Bulldogs him on the steps. Jay Cee falls to the ground. Howell's now back up and runs at Jay Cee. He rockets off the ring steps and attempts to Splash down on Jay Cee, but Jay rolls out of the way and Howell hits the concrete floor.

Jay Cee climbs up on the apron and then climbs up to the top rope. Howell gets up on his feet and Jay Cee leaps off. He comes down with a Double Axe Handle, but as he comes down Howell hits him right in the jaw with a Superkick. Jay Cee falls back and hits the corner. Howell picks up the ladder and leans it on Jay Cee in the corner. Howell backs up and delivers another Superkick, but this time he hits the ladder and crushes Jay Cee who was behind it. The ladder hits the mat and so does Jay Cee. Howell picks up the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He starts to climb up the ladder going towards the money, but Jay Cee gets up on his feet and starts to climb up the other side. Both men get to the top of the ladder and begin to exchange blows.

Jay Cee bashes Howell's head on the ladder and executes a Superplex off of the ladder. Both men hit the mat hard and are down for a few seconds. Jay Cee gets up first and starts climbing the ladder. He goes up several steps and gets near the top, but Howell gets up and tips the ladder over. The ladder falls and so does Jay Cee. Jay goes straight over the top rope and hits the concrete on the outside. The crowd collectively scream out "Ohhhhhh!!!!!" Howell picks up the ladder and sets it up near the ropes. He climbs up to the top of it. Jay Cee gets up on his feet and Howell leaps off the ladder and nails Jay Cee on the outside with a Cross Body Block. The fans jump up on their feet and start cheering.

Both men roll around on the concrete for a short while. Soon Howell gets up on his feet. He tries to climb up on the apron, but Jay Cee grabs him and delivers a Reverse DDT onto the concrete. Jay Cee slides into the ring and sets up the ladder. He starts to climb up and gets near the top, but Howell flies off the top rope and knocks Jay Cee down to the mat with a Diving Spear. Both men hit the mat again and take a few seconds to get back on their feet. Both men get up around the same time. Howell picks up the ladder. He runs at Jay Cee and Clotheslines him with the ladder. Jay Cee falls throgh the ropes and down to the ground. Howell climbs out of the ring and throws Jay Cee back in. Howell goes under the ring and grabs a table. He sets it up on the outside.

Howell goes back in the ring, but before he can makle a move, Jay Cee catches him with a High Leg Clothesline. Jay Cee places the ladder on top of Howell while he is on the mat. Jay Cee then climbs up to the top rope and leaps off with a Splash. Howell rolls out from under the ladder and Jay Cee splashes down onto the ladder. Howell now picks Jay Cee up and Powerslams him right onto the ladder. Howell throws the ladder aside and picks Jay Cee up again. Howell lifts Jay Cee up over his head in a Gorilla Press, and tosses him over the top rope. Jay Cee falls all the way down to the concrete on the outside. Howell now picks up the ladder and carefully sets it up in the middle of the ring. He starts to go up the steps.

Howell is now only 3 steps from the top. He tries to reach for the $10,000 wad of cash, but it's out of his reach. Howell carefully and slowly climbs another step. Jay Cee is now rolling back in the ring. He grabs the ladder and starts rocking it. Howell is holding on tight. Jay Cee rocks the ladder again, but he can't tip it over. So he bounces off the ropes and runs right into it. This knocks the ladder over. It starts to fall, and Howell flies off the steps. He falls right onto the top turnbuckle in a corner.

Jay Cee moves the ladder out of the way and goes over to Howell. He pulls him a few feet away from the corner. Jay Cee then climbs up to the top rope and stands with his back to the ring. Jay Cee leaps off backwards in a Moonsault, but Howell lifts his leg up as Jay Cee crashes down, and he kicks Jay Cee in the back of the head. Both men are lying on their backs for close to a full minute.

Howell finally starts to get to his feet. He looks at Jay Cee first, then at the ladder, then at the table that he set up, which is still standing on the outside of the ring. Howell then sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring. He starts to climb up and he drags Jay Cee body up the steps with him. He gets near the top of the ladder and picks Jay Cee up in a Powerbomb. He Powerbombs Jay Cee off the ladder and over the top rope. Jay Cee falls down and crashes through the table on the outside of the ring. Howell is now in the ring by himself with Jay Cee unconscious outside. He climbs up to the top of the ladder and snatches the $10,000. He drops down to the mat with cash in hand and the bell rings.
