"In Loving Memory ... We will never forget"
The opening pyros hit and here we go.
The energy in the EWC Stadium is electrifying.
Spotlights circle around the arena as the 65,000+ fans in the venue are shown in a wide angle shot. The camera then pans out showing a full scale view of the jam packed arena and zooms in on some crazy fans.
We can see hundreds of signs with "Madi-Friends" written on them, "My Aggression is Ruthless", KingstonStrong", "New Sheriff in Town", "TACO TACO TACO" and a "Newman for Vice President" banner
A chant begins of

The fans cheer loudly as the camera feed pans around the arena. As various attendees pump their fists and fight to be noticed, fireworks emit from each corner of the ring! The camera now pans to the announcer’s booth:
Joey Aiello: Hello and welcome to episode Four One Seven of Monday Night Brawl! I am your host, Joey Aiello and beside me is Ari Gold himself.. Jeremy Piven.
Jeremy Piven: Vancouver how the hell are you? It's a pleasure to be here for episode Four-Hundred and Seventeen of Monday Night Brawl. We have Twelve excellent matches lined up for the fans here tonight, two of them of course happened earlier in the night. We saw Smith Jones win a very close match with Drake Sage and then Adam Stryker winning another close match against Michael Carter
Joey Aiello: We saw a lot of good things from all four of those guys, Smith Jones, Drake Sage, Adam Stryker and Michael Carter all put on a very good show and kept things very close. I can see a lot of good things in the very near future for those four wrestlers and soon to be superstars
The lights dim.
The TitanTron flickers on.
The letters P R E S I D E N T M A C flash across the screen.
The thousands in attendance jump to there feet in excitement and start pounding there feet on the ground and clapping there hands creating the sound:
BoomBoom CLAP!
BoomBoom CLAP!
BoomBoom CLAP!
Coming Undone by Korn now begins to blast over the P.A
Pyros explode up and down the entrance Ramp and all around the entrance stage. Once the smoke begins to settle an old-style movie curtain parts at the top of the ramp. Two roving spotlights pan and fix on center. There, President Mac stands, head bowed in his signature sun glasses, arms out-stretched with clenched fists. And as the lyrics kick in, and the fans sing along, Mac clap-clap-stomps toward the ring, slapping hands. At ringside, he takes off his "specs" and gives them to a young fan. Mac pauses in front of the ring and stares out at the capacity crowed chanting his name, he smiles, soaking it all in. Then he hops the top rope and stands half way up the turnbuckle, posing for the thousands of camera flashes all over the arena. Mac then makes his way to the announcers booth and sits next to Jeremy Piven and Joe Aiello
Jeremy Piven: Ladies and Gentleman, President Mac is sitting here with us now
Joey Aiello: To what do we owe the pleasure?
President Mac: Well, as you know.. tonight we have a ladder match
Jeremy Piven: That's right, Damien Kingston is taking on Axle Aomori
Joey Aiello: Are you here to tell us what's going to be in that Briefcase Mac?
President Mac: Nope, I am a firm believer in building suspense. I think it adds excitement and it keeps the people at home, in the the stands and even the wrestlers in the ring.. constantly guessing.. and thinking.. 'Whats in that Briefcase'
Jeremy Piven: Ok, so I'm dying to know then.. what ARE you here to tell us about the Ladder match tonight?
President Mac: Actually, not a whole lot.. not a whole lot about THAT ladder match
Aiello: I couldn't help but notice the extra emphasis placed on the word 'That' just now.. are you implying there might be more then one Ladder Match in our future?
President Mac: Joey, there isn't just One, not Two, not even Three or Four.. Between tonight and next week.. there will be FIVE Briefcases awarded, across FIVE Ladder matches
Piven: FIVE? Wow, that's a lot of Briefcases and Ladders
Aiello: Come on Mac.. give us a little hint.. are these title Matches?
President Mac: Inside each Briefcase is a ticket or entry.. into StrangleMania X .. Battling for a Championship. Now the best part of all though.. is that I have mixed up and randomized each of the Five Briefcases. So that each case that is placed above the ring, NO ONE knows which Title Match is INSIDE that particular case. No one will know, until the Winner brings down the case, and uses the code I give them to open it.. thus revealing what title they will be fighting for at StrangleMania X
Piven: Wow! That is some absolutely crazy stuff. So tonight's Ladder Match could send the winner to the EWC Championship, the Hardcore Championship or the United States Championship?
President Mac: Your guess is as good as mine my friend. The one thing I can promise, is that the winner of each of the Five Ladder Matches.. will be fighting for Gold at StrangleMania X on March 29th
Aiello: This is truly awesome. The suspense is going to be killing everyone. So Mac, you said that there will be Five Ladder matches, One of them is tonight, does that mean the other Four will be next week?
President Mac: That's right, effective immediately next weeks card is now announced online and features Four Ladder Matches.. including an insane Five Wrestler Ladder Match Main Event. It's going to be a match for the ages
Piven: I just loaded it on my phone right now, Twitter is absolutely blowing up over next weeks show. Wow. Thirty-Five Wrestlers involved in Fourteen Matches.. I don't think we have ever had a Monday Night Brawl this big before. This is incredible. So much to look forward to.
President Mac: Not only that, but we made it official today that Friday Night Rampage will be returning. The first FN'R will be on April 10th in London England, the same location as our 18th Anniversary Brawl show. So things are going to be insane from this week forward. There is no slowing down from here on out. Anyways, I'll let you boys continue the show, I'm going to head into the stands and meet some of these awesome fans
Aiello: Thank you President Mac for joining us. It was an incredible pleasure and WOW.. what an abundance of information that was just dropped on us. We don't want to take anything away from the show tonight, but what an incredible week we have next week. Next week of course is our final Monday Night Brawl until April 6th's mega Anniversary Show, so Mac has clearly pulled out all the stops here
Piven: I would have to imagine that Xplode is pretty happy to see these all as Ladder Matches.. things tend to get pretty violent and crazy once you include a ladder. The EWC is certainly back with a bang and this 18th Season is setting us up to be possibly the best EWC Season of all time.

BACKSTAGE
Ace Heart is waiting in the back.
Ace Heart: I’m about to interview a man who’s making his debut tonight, The ‘Rebel Angel’ Jack Carter, and um.. here he comes right now.
Jack comes out wearing a black trench coat, black skull cap, jeans, with a garbage can full of various weapons.
Jack Carter: Ace.. Tonight I make my debut in a weapons match and.. Know what? The fans out there didn’t pay their money to see me talk back here, they paid to see guys talk out there, so gimme this!
Jack takes the microphone out of Ace's hand.
Jack Carter: I’m gonna go out there and say what I want to say, you just stay back here and sweep the floor or something.
Jack walks off with Ace looking at the camera
Ace Heart: what the.. he can’t do that.
Then shrugs his shoulders.

The song “Killing Ground” by Saxon plays and Carter comes down to the ring, he throws the garbage can full of weapons into the ring, grabs a couple chairs from under the ring and flings them into the ring as well. He then enters the ring, and taps the mic to make sure it’s on.
Jack Carter: Tonight here in Vancover I’m facing…
Jack hears a chant of “Carter sucks Carter sucks Carter sucks” coming from the section to his left. He looks over, then walks to that section.
Jack Carter: Listen.. You guys bought your tickets, right? You didn’t get them from some ticket give away or weren’t handed out for free because of lack of ticket sales, right? I respect the fact that you paid your money to buy your ticket, you bought the ticket so you bought the right to say what you want, and because you actually bought your tickets? I respect you, ok?
As Jack walked away that section stood up and gave him an ovation. Jack gets to the center of the ring.
Jack Carter: Derek King!? Let’s not even go thru the bullsh(beep)t of talking back and forth.. You want to fight!? GET YOUR PUNK ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW AND LET’S DO THIS!
MATCH THREE
KANE SICKO Vs MADISON MITCHELL
KANE SICKO Vs MADISON MITCHELL
Match Writer: @christine
Stroup: This next match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first …
'Push It' is heard as Madison Mitchell makes her way to the top of the entranceway moving to the music enthusiastically. She begins her march to the ring, pumping the fans up on the way as she takes the time to greet them and point at some of the signs being held up to support her.
Stroup: From Philadelphia, PA – Madison Mitchell!
Piven: Listen to the energy the crowd is giving Madison.
She jogs up the ring steps and steps under the middle rope, jogging to the middle of the ring and jumping up and down a few times to get herself ready for action.
Stroup: Her opponent …
"No One Iller" by Fuzzy & Marshall Mathers blares through the arena and the large man appears flexing his muscles and doing a hand pose which resembles a gang sign from his old area.
Aiello: Here he is, “The Illness” of EWC!
Piven: The crowd really hates this guy.
Stroup: From Houston, Texas – Kane "The Illness" Sicko!
He then punches the air, leaps onto the apron and hops over the top rope and raises his arms taunting the fans.
Piven: Arrogance to the max here.
Aiello: He just knows who the best is… that is all.
The two stare down each other as Sicko has a few words with the ref. Madison looks on shaking her head as he then gives her a evil smile as the bell rings.
Aiello: And here we go ladies and gentlemen
She starts out running at him and ducking a clothesline, bouncing off the ropes and hitting him from behind. He staggers and turns just to be met with a swift kick to the gut and falls to the ground. She covers.

Aiello: Yes but he isn’t going to go down that easy either.
She then gives him a kick to the back as he starts to get up then another kick to the face and covers again.

Kickout!
Aiello: There we go, tides have turned in the favor of Sicko.
Piven: Don’t count her out just yet, we are just getting started.
He knees her in the side and he holds her down on her belly. She sits up and holds her side and he puts his hands on her shoulders and starts to kick her over and over in the back alternating with each knee. He then superkicks her back. She rolls to her side as he smirks at her laying there.
Aiello: He isn’t taking it easy on her. He is treating her as one of the guys.
Piven: That is what happens with the ladies fight the guys. But the question is, can she turn this around.
Aiello: Doubtful. Very doubtful.
He then starts to step on her back causing her to scream out in pain. He steps off and yells at the crowd as she starts to get to her feet again. He sets her up for Dragon Whip and then sets her up to hit her hard with a elbow across the face. She falls backwards as he tries for a cover.

Piven: So brutal Sicko is with Madison.
He then spears her back first into the turnbuckle as he pulls her to her feet.
Aiello: Did he just break her in half?
He then hits her over and over with his shoulder in her midsection as the ref start to yell and then starts the 5 count. Before the count is over he hits a suplex and another kick to the back. Another kick to her midsection keeping Madison on the mat then taunts the crowd again.
Piven: Is he showboating? Why don’t he just finish the match instead of making her suffer.
Aiello: What fun would that be?
Piven: Who said anything about fun? Just this is too much.
Madison then makes it to the ropes to help her get to her feet as he walks back over to her. He then tries to choke her on the middle rope as the ref again starts to count. He breaks the hold at 4. He helps her up just to give her a chop to the neck sending her into the ropes again. Then sends her into the ropes with a Irish whip and she ducks the clothesline and bounces again off the ropes just to be met with a back breaker from Sicko.
Aiello: Nice try on the part of Madison. She fell in his trap.
He then lifts her to give her a second Back Breaker as he holds her on his leg. She screams in pain as he then slaps her in the belly. He lifts her again about to give her another Back breaker just for her to counter with a head scissors followed by a low kick to the gut and a kick to the face
Piven: What a comeback for Madison as she is now dishing out the punishment on Sicko.
Aiello: Can she dish out the same punishment he gave her? I doubt it.
He ducks the next kick as he give her a german suplex then tries for a cover.

He picks her up by her hair and gets her to her feet, scoop slam, the bounces off the ropes to drop a knee on her chest. She rolls to the ropes. He steps on her chest again using the ropes to add leverage.
Piven: Now Ref get him off her.
