Joe Aiello: Hello and welcome to Monday Night Brawl number four-thirty-three

Jeremy Piven: We are here live in front of an incredible fan base here in Long Beach California

Aiello: It is very rare that the EWC holds an outdoor event, so it's very exciting to be here, the weather is cooperating nicely. There isn't a cloud in the sky and no rain on the forecast so we should be in for a great warm night here in California

Piven: You always run the risk of weather being a factor when you have these outdoor matches, which is why they don't happen all that often, yet here we are and the Wrestling Gods have smiled upon us tonight with beautiful weather and it's not an uncomfortable hot either. Just keep them margaritas coming and Piven will be a happy camper tonight

Aiello: We have a fantastic show for you all tonight, first up is ... 

Derek Wellings comes out, the EWC Hardcore Championship around his waist. “Psycho” Sam Attic comes out with him carrying a ladder with him. The fans start booing as the two walk to the ring taunting the FORCE by grabbing a sign with their free hands and ripping it.

Joe Aiello: Well what's this now... What does Blacklist’s Sam Attic and Derek Wellings want now?

Jeremy Piven: Wellings looks like he has something on his mind tonight. I’m sure it has something to do with the main event where he will be putting his half of the Hardcore Championship on the line against Shadow Man - and to make things even more interesting, the loser is moved to Friday Night Rampage. Which really, this match is a win / win for Friday Nights

The two slide the ladder in and get into the ring then set the ladder up. Sam grabs a mic while Derek takes the title off and sits on top of the ladder. Reaching down, Derek takes the microphone from Sam. Just as he’s about to speak, the crowd chants “YOU SUCK!” at Derek and Sam who look at each with a smile then look back to the crowd.

Derek Wellings: That’s why your mothers work the street corner, where she belongs.

Sam starts laughing as the crowd boos louder.

Derek Wellings: There was something I should have mentioned a few weeks ago at Night of Champions. I’m a compulsive liar, I didn’t ask the EWC Board of Directors to change the match, but I have a clause in my contract. One that is MOST beneficial to me.

The crowd starts chanting “Airborne Sucks”. Sam and Derek however do nothing as they look around.

Jeremy Piven: No love tonight, and who blames them? Definitely not me.

Joe Aiello: I wonder what Derek’s going to reveal tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to not have the title on the line

Derek Wellings: You see, this clause in my contract gives me the opportunity to change a match type that I am in, up to a maximum of FIVE times per season, to something that I believe would bring more RATINGS in. Because of this, I got a message for you Shadow Man.

Shadow Man: You raaaaaaang?

The crowd explodes as Shadow Man appears on the Xtreme-Tron doing his best Lurch from Addams Family impression. Derek turns his head while Sam looks around to ensure that FORCE isn’t going to attack them.

Jeremy Piven: Speak of the devil and then he appears! Shadow Man is in the house right now!

Joe Aiello: Shadow Man isn’t above appearing when someone summons him. Derek Wellings called him out and now he might have more then he bargained for.

Derek Wellings: Hey Shadow, How’s the knee?

The crowd boos loudly and Sam starts holding his knee pretending to cry.

Shadow Man: The Taco business is doing great, thank you for asking Derek. You are too kind. Now kindly remove your hands from Sam's groin region and get to the tip... I mean point

Derek Wellings: Straight to business, well I wanted to let you know along with every one of these s**t bags out here that I’ve changed our match tonight. It’s not JUST a normal Hardcore Match, remember what happened last time? Project Chaos wanted to get involved?

The crowd boos loudly as we cut to Project Chaos ruining the second match up between Shadow Man and Derek Wellings.

Shadow Man: Sorry I fell asleep just now... were you talking to me?

Derek Wellings: Whatever Mister can't p**s in a straight line and not three ways at once.

Shadow Man: Jealous of my talent?

Derek Wellings: No, because I know you pee in your own face too. But we’re getting off track, you see I changed our match tonight Shadow and you’ll enjoy it.

Shadow Man: It will all still end the same Wellings, so spit it out already so I can get back to banging your mom

Derek Wellings: Tonight, our match will be a ladder match. I chose this because it’ll prevent our match from getting thrown out if Project Chaos, FORCE or Blacklist get involved. It’ll also make sure two men enter, one man leaves with the title. Hope you like ladders.

Shadow Man: I also like Tables and Chairs too!

Shadow Man gets happy and excited just as much as the crowd does. Derek smiles seeing that Shadow is fine with a match change.

Derek Wellings: And I’ll give you my word if you give me yours. All members of Blacklist will stay in the locker room as long as FORCE ensures Project Chaos stays out of our match. How does that sound, fair?

Shadow Man: I love signing a deal with the devil because he ALWAYS gets burned by me. So yeah, it’s a deal.

Scum of the Earth starts playing as Derek jumps off the ladder with the title. The fans cheer loudly as Shadow Man accepted the increased stakes and promised that Derek and Shadow will have a fair fight.

Joe Aiello: Shadow Man and Derek Wellings Hardcore championship will be a ladder match, Blacklist will not interfere as long as FORCE keeps Project Chaos out of the match. I can’t wait!

Jeremy Piven: What a great way to start off Brawl! The only way this could get better is with a match! Wait a minute, we have one coming up next! We will be right back after these messages

VOICE: Are you tired of smelling like complete and utter shit? Are you sick not being able to attract the opposite sick?

Hello, I'm Extreme Wrestling Corporations Shadow Man.

Like you, I was once too skinny and too fat.

I once had absolutely no game at all like my colleague Derek Wellings.

Some people called me that big fat skinny kid, or Pepperoni face on account of the all the Pizza I was eating to mask my feelings.

But then things changed for me.

I stumbled across the cutest little animal playing a guitar..

a Pig. 

Isn't he just the CUTEST little fucker you've ever seen?

Look at him strum away

This Pig was so popular, he was banging all the other Pigs on the farm.

In fact he was having Pig Orgies night after night after night

That's when I realized something .. and it changed my life for good.

The lady Pigs weren't into the cute little Man Pig for his good looks & guitar playing skills..

No.. they were into him for his smell.

Now I know what your all thinking.. Pigs smell like horse shit.

Yes, it's true. 

That's why I met with a group of scientists to find out more on how we can replicate that great Pig smell, without a hint of Horse Shit. 

Turns out.. we only like the smell of Pig after one thing...

It's the crispy, juicy smell of a Pig we love most.. but not just the whole Pig like in that picture.

What we want.. is Five Letters Long and rhymes with Shmacon

It's...

That's right boys and girls.. we love BACON don't we?

So the next question is..

How can I smell like bacon all the time so I can have ripped abs and have the oppisite sex doing shots out of my belly button?

The answer is simple..

BACON is the NEW Unisex Cologne/Perfume that is not only guaranteed to give you the perfect body.. but it will also drive the opposite sex crazy.

Check out what happens after just a small spray of BACON onto either side of my neck

That's right boys and girls, these women want to lick the absolute shit out of my neck while I use my fingers to "get to know them" better. 

So if you are over-weight or skinnier then a pole, try

It's for Men and Women. Results may vary. 

Want MORE proof? 

OK!

Watch what happens after I spray some BACON on my downstairs friend Mr Henderson

See that kids? She wants to get to know Mr Henderson better!

What are you waiting for? Try BACON today!





DISCLOSURE/WARNING: Bacon results may vary. Each body type is different. You might not night see results over-night or even ever, so just keep trying. If a rash develops, that means its working, keep applying it. If headaches, bleeding nose or nausea occur, don't call the Dr, it's supposed to do that. It just means you aren't applying enough of it on. The body needs to get used to it. In the very rare case you die, you may be entitled for a full refund within the first 30 days. Contact us from the beyond for more details.

PRE-SHOW MATCH
NOMAD Vs ICE QUEEN

---

Aiello - This will forever be known as the Match that never was. Nomad came out to the ring, all set to fight The Ice Queen, however Ice Queen apparently never made the trip to Long Beach and thus was counted out for the match. Nomad gets the win by default and Ice Queen had her contract with the EWC terminated.

MATCH 1

KRUZER Vs NIGEL EUBANKS

---

Camera cuts to Joe Aiello and Jeremy Piven sitting at the announcer’s desk.

Aiello: Last week our President sent word down to the Future Stars of Wrestling what he was going to award a contract to the winner of a special match this week on Monday Night Brawl, two men stepped up to the challenge and with the chance to become a permanent of Brawl on the line two of the stars of FSW step into this ring tonight to see if they have what it takes to make it on the biggest of stages.

Piven: This is really a once in a life time opportunity, men go their entire career for a chance like this, these two were just the first two to sign their names up and now the world is watching boys…here is hoping you don’t choke!

Aiello: Real nice Jeremy.

Piven: It’s one thing to talk about making it on the big stage…it’s another to lace up those boots and make that long walk to this ring and do so with the world watching.

Aiello: Adding to that pressure we are outside tonight and I’m here to tell you it’s still hot out, I’m already sweating through my shirt, I’ll be real interested in seeing how tonight’s stars handle this heat.

Piven: Lots of water…

Aiello: Thanks…well lets head up to the ring to the lovely Jessica Stroup to kick off Monday Night Brawl…

DING DING DING

Stroup: Our first contest is scheduled for one fall and the winner will get a Monday Night Brawl Contract…Introducing first residing in New York City…weighing in tonight at 225lbs…please welcome NIGEL EUBANKS!!!!

The fans are waiting for Nigel’s music but it doesn’t come, instead he storms out from the back and marches to the ring without any contact with the ringside crowd.

Piven: What did he leave his music in FSW?

Aiello: Nigel is all business here tonight, maybe he jumped the gun or we didn’t have his music…

Piven: Or maybe he’s so green he doesn’t know he’s suppose to have music…

Aiello: Just because these guys are in FSW doesn’t mean they are rookies, nothing could be truer Jeremy…

Piven: This free advertisement has been brought to you by Joe Aiello…Aiello…who’s been kissing corporate ass since 1997…

Nigel jumps into the ring and right into the far corner, his eyes glued to the entrance ramp.

Stroup: And his opponent from Las Vegas, Nevada by way of Edmonton Alberta Canada, weighing in at 235lbs…he is ‘The Canadian Icon’ KRUZER!!!!!!

'O Canada' on electric guitar then tires squeal out and theme music begins to play. Smoke fills the archway, Kruzer bursts through from the gorilla position with energy, wearing a long coat over his ring attire and black wrap around shades with flames on the arms coming out of the lenses. Stands at the top of the ramp, flashing his now trademark bullhorns as pyros explode behind him. He makes his way to the ring as Nigel rolls out of the ring and paces around, Kruzer steps to the second rope in all four corners of the ring flashing the bullhorns and hyping up the fans.

Piven: See, this man gets it, he knows to bring his own music to the shows and doughnuts, all rookies must bring doughnuts…

Aiello: This man is hardly a rookie, Kruzer has made a name for himself in this business in his 14 year career holding major titles in practically every promotion…

Piven: Except here in EWC…

Aiello: It’s only a matter of time…

Kruzer jumps down from the ropes as Nigel rolls back into the ring…but before the referee can signal for the bell Nigel runs across the ring and sends Kruzer crashing into the turnbuckle with a double ax handle to the back of the head of Kruzer. Nigel Quickly stays on Kruzer and grabs him around the neck and takes off running to the center of the ring and plants Kruzer face first into the mat with a running bulldog as the ref motions for the bell.

Aiello: And we are off and running…

Piven: Nigel wasted no time going after Kruzer, he knows what is riding on this match here tonight.

Nigel jumps on the back of Kruzer and grabs his arms, puts them over his legs and grabs a hold of Kruzer’s chin and pulls back into a camel clutch, the referee drops down and asks Kruzer if he wants to quit.

Aiello: Nigel is trying to end this ring now…

Piven: Wouldn’t that be a statement win…

Kruzer screams out NO and the referee backs off a bit as Kruzer begins to reach back with his legs towards the rope, he uses his toes to inch himself closer and closer until he reaches out with his right boot and hooks the bottom rope, the ref sees this and orders Nigel to break the hold but he just cranks back even harder.

Aiello: The referee is warning him, would hate to see someone lose out on a contract because of a disqualification…

Piven: He has a five count…

Aiello: And the referee begins that count…

Nigel lets go right as the referee is about to say five and smirks at him, the ref begins to give him a stern warning but he completely ignores him and grabs Kruzer by the face and begins to dig his fingers into the eyes of Kruzer before racking his fingers across his eyes…

Aiello: Nigel Eubanks seems to really have a mean steak…

Piven: Well he’s not out there to win friends, he’s out there to win a contract.

Nigel grabs a handful of Kruzer’s hair and pulls his to his feet, he whips him towards the ropes and runs after him but Kruzer ducks the attempted clothesline and rebounds off the far ropes and yet again ducks under a wild right hand thrown by Nigel and hits the ropes again and drops Nigel with a missile shoulder block.

Aiello: Great reversal there for Kruzer…

Piven: Yeah he really ducked like a season pro there Joe…

Nigel pops right back up but is quickly dropped back to the mat from a picture perfect drop kick to the face from Kruzer when gets the fans ringside up on their feet and clapping. Nigel rolls out of the ring to take a breather to the boos from the fans but Kruzer isn’t going to give him any time, he hits the ropes and sends himself flying through the ropes and hit Nigel hard with a suicide dive that sends Nigel crashing into the guard rail, Kruzer gets up and raises his arms into the air as the Brawl fans cheer in approval.

Aiello: Well Kruzer seems to be wining over the MNB fans here tonight…

Piven: Good for him, maybe they will follow him back to FSW if he blows it here tonight…

Aiello: Always so positive Jeremy…

Piven: I just tell it like it is…

Kruzer turns his attention back towards Nigel and pulls him back to his feet and lifts him high into the air and crotches him over the guard rail, he runs to the steps and climbs up to the apron and then up the ropes until he’s perched high on the top rope, he raises up and steadies himself and jump…

Aiello: HOLY CRAP!!!

Kruzer connects with a missile drop kick to the face of Nigel that sends him about three rows deep in the crowd.

Aiello: KRUZER JUST TOOK OUT ABOUT A DOZEN FANS!!!

Piven: Easy to do when you know the law suit will be served to Monday Night Brawl…

Kruzer collects himself before climbing over the rail and all the carnage he created to retrieve Nigel, he pulls him up by his head and tosses him back over the rail as the referee orders them back into the ring.

Aiello: Somebody really should go down there and check on the fans…

Piven: Lets go watch wrestling tonight they said…it’s outside tonight…what could possible go wrong…I can tell you…you could be sent to the hospital before the first match of the night is over…

Aiello: It just goes to show you the importance of this MNB contract that is on the line and the lengths they will go to get it…

Piven: And bankrupt us on the way to get it…

Kruzer sends Nigel back into the ring under the bottom rope and slides back in himself, Kruzer pulls Nigel away from the ropes a little bit and the jumps up onto the second rope and spring boards off with a moonsault, he hooks the leg and the referee drops for the cover.

Aiello: This could be it…we may have a new member of the roster…
.

But Nigel kicks out as the refs hand is just about on the mat and Kruzer looks at the ref in disbelief but the referee motions he got his shoulder up and holds up two fingers. Kruzer pulls Nigel up and bounces him off the ropes…catches him…lifts him up into the air and brings him down hard with a side walk slap but bounces right back up and hits the ropes himself and comes crashing down hard across the midsection of Nigel with rolling thunder.

Aiello: Kruzer showing us a lot here tonight…

Piven: And Nigel Eubanks taking everything he’s dishing out…

Kruzer telling the fans it’s over, he heads to the top rope and once again comes soaring off with a splash but Nigel gets his knees up at the last second and Kruzer’s ribs take the full impact.

Aiello: Kruzer wasted too much time there…

Piven: Winning over the fans isn’t going to get you a contract here…

Nigel slowly gets to his feet, pissed he begins to kick away at Kruzer and only stops when the ref warns him, he pulls Kruzer to his feet, wraps his arms around Kruzer and executes a perfect belly to belly suplex and immediately wraps his legs around the torso of Kruzer and begins to squeeze those ribs with a body scissor.

Aiello: Kruzer’s ribs have to be hurting as Nigel focuses all his attention on those ribs…

Piven: Nigel Eubanks is trying to take away the explosive attack of Kruzer but not allowing him to breath…it’s brilliant…

Nigel hooks his feet together and uses them as leverage to squeeze even harder before Kruzer reaches the ropes and the ref orders a break, this time Nigel breaks on command, pops up and unloads on Kruzer, who is only able to get to a knee with a super kick straight to the side of the head.

Aiello: CHA CHING!

Piven: Turn out the lights…the parties over…

Nigel drops for the cover and hooks the leg.
.
.
.
1!!!
.
.
.
2!!!
.
.
.
But this time Kruzer kicks out at the last second and it’s Nigel who can’t believe it.

Aiello: YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

Piven: That is exactly what Nigel is saying…

Nigel screams at the referee but the ref shakes his head.

Aiello: Nigel Eubanks was that close to winning this match and that contract…

Piven: Twice now...both men had this match won...so close…

Nigel looks down at Kruzer and can’t believe he kicked out, pulls Kruzer back up to his feet and begins to scream at him, slapping him in the face and then again which seems to bring the life back to Kruzer, Nigel goes for a third slap but Kruzer catches his hand, Nigel pulls loose and throws a punch which Kruzer side steps it, grabs Nigel around the arms and lifts him into the air and drops back…

Aiello: KRUZE KONTROL!!!!

Piven: You have to be kidding me…

Kruzer jumps on Nigel and the ref is there for the count…
.
.
.
1!!!!
.
.
.
2!!!
.
.
.
3!!!

The bell rings and Kruzer rolls off Nigel but remains on his knees, the referee points at Kruzer.

Stroup: The winner of this match and the newest member of the Monday Night Brawl roster… ‘THE CANADIAN ICON KRUZER!!!!

The referee raises Kruzer’s hand as the fans ringside cheer.

Aiello: Do not take anything away from Kruzer but Nigel Eubanks belongs here on this roster…

Piven: Yet we are stuck now with this guy… Lets head backstage as we apparently have something going on

The camera cuts away from Kruzer who is up on the middle turnbuckle looking out over his new home crowd.

BACKSTAGE

---

JTC was walking around backstage as came to a stop as he just grins a bit. 

JTC: Didn’t think I see you here buddy?

The big man turn around and face JTC and it was no other then Charles Max the brother of Ruthless Aggression. Charles just smiled a bit as he give JTC a hand pounce. He place his hands inside of his pockets with a nod. 

Charles Max:I know I haven’t been around your club lately. There was a few things I need to do to clean up my life. 

JTC shrugs a bit as he crack his neck with a bit of a smirk. 

JTC: It ok. Just tell me why are you here? You thinking of joining up with ECW? How would your little brat of a sister feel about that?

Charles just smirks a bit as he looks over at him. 

Charles Max:That supposedly brat you talking about remember she is my sister. So around me just have a little bit of respect towards her. I am not joining the company anytime soon. I was wondering if I could do some other type of work for the company.I have been in rehab working on some things. Speaking of rehab ... I think you should know. I know where Justine is...it up to you if you want to see her and talk to her. Justine didn’t want to tell you just yet because she want to try to work on herself before coming back to you and the family.

Charles pull out a card and hand it over to him with a nod. 

Charles Max: If you want to see her.. and talk to her.. she there...

JTC looks down at the card like he was thinking as he looked up over at Charles. 

JTC:Thanks man. 

Charles nods softly as JTC stood there staring at the card wondering what to do.

MATCH 2
LIVING DEAD KARL Vs JAMES DAWES

---

The scene then switches back to the ring, the fans in anticipation for the next match, where they get to see their most hated of wrestlers get his ass kicked, apparently.

Then all of a sudden, BIG SURPRISE, mist begins to rise, soon blanketing most of the arena at low altitudes, the eerie mood augmented with the dimming of the lights, all of which is accompanied by"Pretend We're Dead" by L7 beginning to play, the new theme song for the Unholy Undead himself. He debuted this song during a promo he cut earlier in the week.

Anyway, at about 15 seconds into the song, a form manifests itself from the once-obscuring fog as if having risen from the ground itself. At about the 35-second mark, Living Dead Karl shambles into view, arms extended, moaning like the zombie he is, but he then irritatedly drops the whole shtick and switches gears, storming to the ring with purpose, trying to antagonize front seat adults and scare their kids. Once ringside, he makes a beeline to the ring, the referee scrambling to the outside just in the nick of time. Jessica Stroup didn't even get the opportunity to announce LDK's presence, but I doubt she cares that much.

LDK is tossed a mic by her, and he fumbles with it a bit before getting a proper hold of it. LDK points right at Jessica.

Living Dead Karl: "You're lucky I didn't drop it, bitch!"

Aiello: "Classy guy."

Piven: "Yeah, why not go teach him some proper etiquette, Joe?"

The fans boo. Of course they do. You know they would, I know they would, WE ALL FUCKIN' KNOW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

Living Dead Karl: "Shut the fuck up when grown folks're talkin'!"

The fans definitely do not shut the fuck up.

Living Dead Karl: "Ya'll a buncha straight punks, that ain't nothin' new! Anyway, I ain't here to talk about that fuckin' FSW bitch Jimmy D. who's gonna die in a few minutes anyway, nah, right now I'm gonna lay down the motherfuckin' law on that glam cock Griffin Hawkins!"

The fans cheer and howl at the name of the Friday Night Rampage superstar. LDK rolls his eyes.

Piven: "I can't believe the crowd would cheer for a Rampage star over our own Brawl guys!"

Aiello: "When the choice is Living Dead Karl or anyone else, the fans will pick anyone else, every time!"

Living Dead Karl: "Leave it to a buncha fuckin' bleach-brained bitches to like a fuckin' lady-boy like him!"

The more progressive crowd boos the controversial comments from the vulgar cock sandwich.

Living Dead Karl: "And because y'all bad-taste motherfuckers love guy-liner that much, it's gonna make it a real pleasure to put his dick in the dirt! It's too bad Cockins ain't here tonight, otherwise I'd-"

And as if on cue (lol), "Monkey Business" by Skid Row begins to play, and the crowd goes wild... that is, until they see some spindly weiner of a guy shimmy on out, do a jumping splits, and heads on over to the ring quickly, like the fuckin' clown he is.

Oh, psst, by the way, this isn't really Griffin Hawkins! *wiiiiink*

Aiello: "What an insulting, disrespectful knock-off!"

Piven: "Wait, that's not Griffin Hawkins?"

"Griffin" enters the ring reluctantly, grabbing the mic.

"Griffin Hawkins": "YI YI YI YI YI YI YAY-YUH! GRIFFIN HAWKINS IN THE HAY-OUSE!"

The fans boo this poor impersonator with the high-pitched Dr. Roxxo-type voice. LDK looks "surprised".

Living Dead Karl: "Cockins, you got a lotta nerve showin' your face around here!"

"Griffin Hawkins": "I'M JUST HERE TO BURY THE HATCHET, BROTHER! GRIFFIN KNOWS WHEN HE'S BEEN BEAT! COULD YOU EVER FORGIVE ME FOR BEING A PUNK! BITCH?!"

The fans boo even more. LDK looks to be thinking. Now THAT'S a shock!

Living Dead Karl: "I dunno, Cockins, I dunno! You've been actin' like an uppity bitch for weeks now!"

"Griffin Hawkins": "I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW! IT'S JUST THAT I'M JEALOUS OF YOUR GREATNESS! I KNOW YOU'RE JUST IN A LITTLE SLUMP RIGHT NOW AND YOU'RE GONNA WIN THIS MATCH TONIGHT FOR SU-"

LDK poorly covers the mic.

Living Dead Karl: "That ain't in the motherfuckin' script, bitch! No adlibbing!"

The fans laugh at this faux pas by LDK's flunky.

"Griffin Hawkins": "SORRY, SORRY! BUT TRUTHFULLY, I DON'T WANNA DIE, SO PLEASE, CONSIDER OUR MATCH WON ALREADY... BY YOU!!"

The fans boo this blatant ego-stroking.

Living Dead Karl: "Raise my arm then, bitch!"

And sure enough, "Griffin" is quick to act, raising LDK's arm in an exaggerated manner.

Then, "Monkey Business" begins to play again, only this time LDK looks confused and very much annoyed.

Living Dead Karl: "The fuck this music playin' again for?! You ain't win shit, I just did!!"

But unbeknownst to the men in the ring, there's something happening amidst the crowd. The fans begin to cheer! It's the real Griffin Hawkins making his way to the ring!

Aiello: "Griffin Hawkins is here! Griffin Hawkins is here!"

Piven: "This guy has no business to yet again come to our show!"

Aiello: "He's got every right to be here, when Living Dead Karl's trying desperately to sully his name!"

"Griffin" notices it before LDK does, but he just stops, drops and rolls out of the ring instead of signalling to the Zombie Zeitgeist.

Meanwhile the real Griffin slides into the ring, patiently but with great intensity waiting for LDK to turn around. A confused LDK indeed does so, and gets a foot-full of justice for his troubles!

Aiello: "Shot in the Dark! Shot in the Dark!"

LDK goes *timbeeeerrrr*, down to the mat. The fans go ballistic!

Piven: "Get up, Karl, you've got a match in a minute here!"

But much to their surprise - and Griffin's chagrin - LDK sits up, groaning to the ceiling. He slowly gets up to his feet, giving Griffin enough time to set up... this!

Aiello: "Number 1 Stunner! I can't believe this!!!"

Piven: "This is a miscarriage of justice, and you know it, Joe! If Griffin costs Karl this match, it's going to be World War III here in the EWC, never mind just Brawl!"

Griffin poses for the fans a bit before heading off back into the crowd, the damage already done.

O Fortuna begins to play as the lights go out. Out from the back walks a man, his face masked by his hoodie. The gold lights shine bright on him as he pours the fabric back, revealing James Dawes. 

Jessica Stroup: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, making his way to the ring... From Toronto, Ontario, Canada... Weighing in at 210 pounds... He is "The Legend", JAMES.. DAWES!!!!

Piven: James Dawes looks like that one guy I saw on a viral video. I remember that whole video, this guy was saying like "Don't let your dreams be dreams." and stuff like that. And when he did the "DO IT!!" part, oh my god that was hilarious!

As Piven takes another drink of his beverage, James Dawes walks down to the ring as the women chorus above him; "Sors salutis, et virtutis, michi nunc contraria". The drums strike, Dawes takes one final look to the heavens and slides into the ring, getting up and looking at the crowd. He smirks, and removes his sweater. He stares down Living Dead Karl who is already in the ring

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent, from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania... Weighing in at 255 lbs, already in the ring, he is LIVING... DEAD... KARL!!!!!!

DING DING DING!!!!!!!!

HERE WE GO! This match starts off with LDK and James Dawes circling the ring and both locking up. James Dawes gets him in the headlock, but LDK goes behind and locks Dawes in the waist-lock. LDK following that does a wheelbarrow slam! Dawes gets up and runs at LDK charging at him with a flying forearm smash, but LDK ducks and hits him with a couple of headbutts, sending him into the corner. LDK looks at Dawes and yells out random gibberish and goes for clothesline in the corner, but Dawes ducks it and grabs him from behind and does a belly to back! The crowd cheers and boos James Dawes as he looks around the arena and does a pose.

Aiello: Both men seem to know what they are doing tonight as it shows obviously!

Piven: What do you think wrestlers do Aiello? They do their homework. They study their opponents skills and work hard. Moron!

Dawes goes for the pin but LDK kicks out before the referee could even count. LDK instantly gets up and makes loud zombie noises at Dawes forcing him to get cornered in well, a corner. LDK chops Dawes and throws him in the middle of the mat. He goes up the top rope and nails Dawes with the double axe handle! He goes for the pin.

Dawes kicks out right before 3! LDK runs the ropes but gets caught with Dawes delivering an enzuigiri to LDK! LDK sits up and looks around; seemingly to be confused at the time! Dawes laughs at LDK and slaps him on the head, but that didn't help at all. LDK wakes up from his confusion and looks straight at James Dawes in the eyes! James Dawes is freaked out and backs up into another corner again, as LDK stands up and walks towards him. Dawes slides out of the and LDK chases him around the ring!

Aiello: It looks like LDK here has skipped dinner today!

Piven: HAHAHA! You're SOOOO funny. Keep making more HILARIOUS jokes like that again, woo that was a good one.

Aiello: Sometimes I worry about your health, Piven.

Dawes finally slides back into the ring as LDK does as well. Dawes stomps on LDK but he doesn't feel anything and stands up, grabs Dawes with both of his hands, and hits him with the double handed chokeslam! LDK gets down and grabs Dawes face, he looks around, and starts biting his face! The referee tries pulling off LDK but LDK won't seem to let go! The ref gives the 5 count to LDK and he gets up when the ref counts to 4. He stares at the ref and then goes back to Dawes, but Dawes pushes him off and does a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to him. Dawes goes for the cover.

NO!! LDK kicks out at 2! Dawes shakes his head and viciously grabs LDK, sending him outside near the commentators. The commentators quickly get up and out of the way as James Dawes comes charging at LDK with a plancha! The crowd pops for Dawes as he quickly screams at the top of his lungs and grabs LDK. He throws him back into the ring and goes up the top rope, waiting for LDK to stand up. LDK stands up and Dawes hits him with the missile dropkick!

Aiello: James Dawes is fired up now!

Dawes picks up LDK by the hair, underhooks both of his arms and nails him with a double underhook powerbomb! Dawes points to the top and climbs up to the top rope. Dawes looks at LDK, aiming straight at him and flies with the Flying Elbow! Quickly getting up, Dawes spreads his arms out and puts his hands on his heads, and sets up for the ending!

LDK stands up, not knowing where he is once again. Dawes quickly turns him around and trips him to get him in the Legend Lock (figure 4 leg lock)! LDK screams reaching for the ropes, trying to get out of it as many ways as possible; biting his leg, biting his own self, crawling to the ropes, anything that would get him out of this submission hold! LDK tries eating off his leg so he could get out of it faster, but then he remembered that it isn't really a good idea because he still needs those to climb up stuff after the show. LDK screams even more and decides to bite the only thing that's in the way of everything; James Dawes' legs. He bites his legs as Dawes screams in pain, letting go of the hold quickly. LDK grins and gives a pat to himself on the back for thinking of the right idea. Wasting no time, LDK trips Dawes onto his back and goes for the Living Dead Whirl (giant swings!

Piven: HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The crowd goes wild and counts the swings LDK does!

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner, LIVING... DEAD... KARL!!!!

LDK is about to get his arm raised by the referee, but then warns the referee that his arm can fall off easily, so he raises his own arms since he knows how to use them! James Dawes rolls out of the ring and sits against the steps, wondering what he did to make this go all wrong; as LDK here, celebrates his victory tonight!

Aiello: James Dawes seems as if he doesn't like what just went there one bit!

Piven: Let's just face that fact that LDK won tonight-

LDK appears out of nowhere beside Piven, scaring both the commentators. He grabs Piven's headsets and puts it on his head, looking around the arena. He stands on the commentary table as Piven shouts at LDK to get off the table and to give him back his headsets, while Aiello shouts at LDK to get off the table as he is stepping on their papers with his dirty shoes.

Living Dead Karl: MOTHER FFFFFFFFFFFFUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCCKKERS!!!!!

LDK gets off the commentary table and walks backstage as the scene fades away into black.

Winner: Living Deal Karl via Pinfall

MATCH 3

TAG TEAM MATCH
KING FLIP & XAVIER REID Vs RACIN TYME

---

Stroup: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!

“Domination” by Pantera begins to play as Racin' Tyme rush out to the cheering fans. They stop on top of the stage and thrust their fists into the air.

Stroup: Making their way to the ring first, accompanied by Nanook, holding the checkered flag at the finish line...

Spotter the second and Nanook walk out behind DJR and Spotter stands next to DJR with his arms crossed. After both DJR and Spotter pose for pictures they make their way down to the ring.

Stroup: ...weighing in at a combined weight of four-hundred and sixty pounds...

They run, sliding under the bottom rope and pop up to the ring, they run across the ring, crossing one another, leap and land on the second turnbuckle and remove their helmets. They then let out a loud and proud “WHOOOOOOO!”

Stroup: DJR and Spotter, this – is – Racin' Tyme!

RT hand their helmets off to Nanook just as Xavier Reid hops the guardrail opposite them and slides into the ring. He rushes them as fast as he possibly can and connects with a Cactus Jack clothesline that sees all three competitors over the top rope and tumbling to the outside of the ring. Xavier doesn't stop there. He is the first to get up and dropkicks Spotter into Nanook knocking both men to the ground before getting up and connecting with a pele kick on DJR, following quickly with a springboard moonsault off the edge of the announce table.

Aiello: My goodness! Xavier Reid getting right down to business, leaving both members of Racin' Tyme and their manager practically laid out.

Piven: You expected anything less? As soon as I saw Xavier in the crowd, I knew business was about to pick up.

Reid is to his feet much to the disdain of the crowd, who is really rallying for RT to make a comeback, who leave Reid distracted for a second but it seems like one second too long. He goes to lift Spotter up and gets a return dropkick that sends him into the announce table. Spotter is right back up and grabs Xavier by the back of the head, rolling him into the ring and following right behind him after making sure DJR is getting up. Spotter with the missed spinning heel kick as Xavier Reid rolls under, but he doesn't get far. Swinging neck breaker. DJR slides into the ring and the referee tries to stop him. Racin' Tyme gets in position in opposite corners.

Aiello: I've seen this before, Jeremy. BRISTOL BUMP!!

K-I-N-G F-L-I-P flies from left to right on the tron, followed by a big pyro pop at the top of the ramp. “Obnoxious” by Immortal Technique plays and King Flip slowly makes his way through the curtain as Racin' Tyme lays in the boots. The referee motions for Flip to hurry it up, but EWC's King has none of it. Racin' Tyme continues to stomp mud holes and walk them dry all over Xavier Reid. Flip smiles as he gets to the edge of the ring. Both DJR and Spotter turn to Flip as he walks up the steel steps. He lifts his hands up, non-verbally showing his neutrality to the situation before climbing to the second rope and taunting to the fans. Flip hops over the ropes and beings loudly clapping, motioning at Racin' Tyme and the referee.

Aiello: And King Flip enters the ring like he owns it, getting Racin' Tyme to stop their assault long enough to pick a legal man to start the match. It looks like Spotter is going to start the contest against Xavier Reid, who looks absolutely out of it.

The bell rings as Flip and DJR get to their respective corners. Spotter goes for the pin.

.

.

Flip springboards onto and then off of the top rope, connecting with a leg drop to the back of Spotter's neck to break up the pin attempt. DJR begins to enter the ring as Flip exits. Spotter seems shaken but not stirred, slowly getting to one knee and locks in a reverse chin lock. He really digs the knee into Xavier's back over and over again as he pulls harder and harder on their chin and neck. This wakes Xavier up who begins yanking at hair and swinging wildly with both hands. He breaks the hold. Both men get to their feet and begins exchanging right hands in the middle of the ring. Spotter ducks a clothesline and connects with a hip toss. Reid quickly rolls to his feet and returns the favor, ducking a clothesline and hip tossing Spotter toward DJR. The tag is made. Xavier turns and walks to Flip who raises their hands and backs away from the corner. Reid looks furious.

Piven: And the shenanigans begin. First Flip just lets them kick the crap out of Reid, who sure he hates but openly stated he'd be professional enough to tag with, and now this? Is King Flip is coward or something? It's like he doesn't want to get involved in this match other than to break up pin attempts.

Aiello: But it certainly seems to be playing to Xavier Reid's rage, who if you may have forgotten attacked, bloodied, and injured Flip's manager, Chris Calvin, who will be out until at least One Night Encounter in 3 weeks

Reid turns right into a DDT a la Michael Hayes. Xavier completely no sells it, standing right back up and points at DJR who looks stunned. DJR ducks a clothesline and connects with a drop toe hold, rolling into a half Boston crab that sees Xavier Reid on the ground scrounging around trying not to tap out once again. Slowly but surely Reid pulls himself to the bottom rope close to his corner. Flip hops off the ring apron and slaps Xavier's hand hard enough to get him to let go of the rope. DJR, who had been riding the four count, sees this out of the corner of his eye and drags Xavier right back to the center of the ring. Reid screams as he reaches for the ropes again. Flip just stands there on the thinly padded ground outside the ring, making eye contact with his current nemesis. This sends Reid into another rage and pushes him to use every ounce of energy in him to get to the bottom rope one more time. DJR gets up after a second four count and drags Reid to the middle of the ring for a second time, but Reid slowly pushes himself up and gets to one foot. Open hand slap right across DJR's face. This rattles DJR enough to drop the other leg and both men immediately begin exchanging forearm smashes to the face with DJR having the energy advantage. D connects with three in a row, then whips Xavier into the ropes and goes for the sidewalk slam. Reid, on the other hand, spins right into and out of it with a tornado DDT out of nowhere. The fans actually cheer the athleticism as both men lie there in the center of the ring. DJR is first to his feet, but Xavier is right behind him. D leaps into tagging his partner, Spotter, who leaps over the ropes and runs full speed into a dropkick to the back of Reid. This dumps him right before he was about to tag Flip in. Spotter picks Reid up but X breaks the hold and rolls back, slapping hands with Flip.

Aiello: King Flip finally making a tag with Xavier, quickly getting into the ring but slowing the pace. Spotter rushed at him but Flip rolls out of the way. Both men now circling the center of the ring, neither seemingly willing to make the first move.

Piven: Let's see if Reid will even think about giving Flip a breather after Racin' Tyme beat the crap out of him. I think not! I hope DJR and Spotter beat the hell out of him for disrespecting Xavier Reid like that.

Aiello: Oh, but Xavier attacking Chris Calvin... that's okay?

Piven: That has nothing to do with this tag team match.

Both men simultaneously go for a spinning heel kick, connecting with one another's feet but not really hurting either competitor. They're both back to their feet and both barely miss dropkick attempts to their opponent's face. The fans applaud, appreciating the quickness of both men. They're both to their feet again but it's Spotter that makes first contact with a stiff knee to the midsection that connects hard enough to make Flip front flip onto his back. The King slowly rolls to his feet and is met with a second knee to the midsection. No flip from Flip, but Spotter grabs his opponent and hits a full nelson slam. He gets up and jumps to the second rope. Springboard moonsault right into the knees of Flip. The King gets up and Spotter runs right into a chop to the chest and a side headlock. Spotter grabs Flip's leg. It was at this moment King Flip realized he fucked up.

Aiello: INSIDE DOWN LOW!! INSIDE DOWN LOW!!! Spotter plants Flip out of nowhere! It's over!

Spotter quickly goes for the cover.

Aiello: OH MY GOD! X MARKS THE SPOT!! XAVIER REID FROM THE CORNER!! X MARKS THE SPOT!!!

Piven: Wooooow! That looks like it laid out both men there. GOOD. Flip deserved getting hit twice over.

Xavier Reid is chased out of the ring by DJR, who quickly gets back to his corner and stomps for Spotter to get up and make the tag while Xavier Reid smiles on the outside. Spotter instead opts to slump over and place his hand on Flip's chest for a pinning attempt.

Flip lifts the opposite shoulder this time and rolls onto his stomach, coughing. Spotter is slow to get to one knee as Flip crawls to a corner. Not his corner. Xavier Reid has walked around the ring and is heavily taunting Flip who looks absolutely miserable. Flip gets to his feet, sort of, with both hands on the top rope. Flip looks up at the tron and looks like he's about to break down and cry. Spotter tags DJR. Flip sees the tag and knows DJR is running at him by the footage on the tron.

Aiello: CROWNING MOMENT! FLIP WITH THE PELE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE.

Flip jumps to his feet and runs into a dropkick, blasting Spotter off the ring apron and into Nanook. Both men crash through the Spanish announce table. Flip is right back up.

Aiello: BUMP AND – NO! FLIP REVERSES! HE PUSHES DJR INTO THE ROPES! KILLER INNOVATIVE NERVE DRIVER!! THE K-I-N-G IS IN THE BUILDING!!!

Stroup: Here's your winners... King Flip and Xavier Reid!

WINNER: KING FLIP & XAVIER REID

Xavier slides into the ring with a steel chair and swings it as Flip turns around. Flip barely ducks and rolls out of the way. He does so again when Xavier immediately turns around for another swing. The King leaps to the second rope. Springboard dropkick sees the chair smack into Xavier's face instead. The fans lose their minds. Ol' CHK is quick to get a microphone from the ring crew.

King Flip: XAVIER. REID. You think for a second I didn't see you coming a Goddamn mile away? Please. PLEASE, XAVIER. Spare me the insult to my intelligence. So I deuce in your boots once... so what? It's a rib for fuck's sake, Xavier. You shouldn't have given those boots to a little kid. And you FURTHER shouldn't have put your damn hands on my manager, my friend, Chris Calvin. And it's for that that I'll see you pay.

Flip tosses the mic and yells for Xavier to get up. Flip runs right into a pop up powerbomb into the turnbuckle. Flip is slow to his feet and stumbles right into a swing of the chair. SMACK! Flip is bleeding from the forehead. Xavier lays the boots down before smashing the chair into Flip's face two more times. Flip looks unconscious, but Xavier Reid isn't finished. He lifts Flip's head to rest it onto the steel chair before climbing the nearest turnbuckle.

Aiello: OH MY GOD, NO!! X MARKS THE SPOT!!!

Piven: No? NO!? 'King' Flip deserves this, Aiello. He's done nothing but run his mouth about Xavier and mess with him backstage. This is what you call retribution.

Xavier grabs the mic and leans over Flip who looks to be out cold.

Reid: How does it feel funny man…you now want to take the high ground…I ask you the first night I saw your face if you had a death wish…and you and little friend Chris thought it was a god damn joke…just one giant game…look at my face…does it look like I play games funny man…you pal…he wasn’t laughing earlier tonight when I put my boot on his throat and he was begging me for breath…begging me…so I pushed down harder…until I saw his eyes roll back in his head…and now I look down at you…and get the same joy…see you use laughter to brighten up your day…I USE VIOLENCE!!!

The fans boo as Xavier drops even lower.

Reid: You see simply beating you isn’t going to be enough for me…pinning you inside this ring doesn’t do it for me…it’s personal now…so I want to hurt you…to beat on you…until you can no longer get up…until you choose to stop…to just lay there…to give up…we are having a one night event…One Night Encounter…you want to make me pay…for the dying kid…for your pal…then fine…I’ll give you the chance…at One Night Encounter…but Flip…it’s on my terms…you and me…Last Man Standing…I’m going to beat on you until you have nothing more…until the laughter dies…

Xavier drops the mic on Flip and rolls out of the ring to a chorus of boos.

MATCH 4
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
EMMA LOUISE Vs SABRIYNN CASSIDY Vs LAURA MOLINARO

---

The fans in the arena talk among themselves for a time while the television feed gives each of them their 5 minutes of fame. Waving their hands, they try to get spotted as children are hoisted, lips are kissed, and signs are raised.

As the camera pans a few more times, we are left with the shot of the announcer’s booth. Seated at the booth is Aiello and Piven, each one of them looking around with a smile upon their faces. With a nod, Aiello speaks to his co-host, his EWC shirt wrinkling under his chin.

Aiello: This place is ALIVE! I am loving this. Our next match is a special one. We have a triple threat on the docket!

Piven: Three competitors.. only one winner.

Aiello: I have to say, I am pretty neutral on any of them. They all seem like killers out there! One thing is for certain, there will be one winner tonight.. the EWC Universe!

Piven: Wait… who is that? Is that…. Brett Black is seated in the crowd, right in the front row. What the hell is he doing here?!!

Aiello: That guy creeps me out… really.

The camera feed pans to the ring where we see Jessica Stroup in a sparkling dress. Her beauty is obvious as she smiles and begins to speak. Around her, camera flashes create a strobe like pattern.

Jessica Stroup: The next match is a triple threat affair. Heading out to the ring first.. please welcome.. Emma Louise!

"This Little Girl" by Cady Groves plays and Emma steps through the curtain. Blows a kiss to the crowd a la Maria and then walks, half dancing to the ring where she slips feet first through the ropes like an envelope before laying suggestvly over the top rope

Jessica Stroup: Coming to the ring next, put your hands together for Sabriynn Cassidy!

The music to "Mr. Slowdeath" by the Butcher Babies blasts across the arena as the fans get up on their feet to cheer Sabriynn Cassidy. Cassidy comes out of the curtains hyping up the crowd. She goes to the middle of the stage and starts headbanging to the beat of the song, jogs down the ramp and slides in the ring. She goes on the 2nd rope screaming "SABRIYNN ROCKS!" and afterwards, she jumps down and awaits for the bell to ring.

Jessica Stroup: Lastly, please welcome.. Laura Molinaro!!

Marches to the ring with a look of sheer determination on her face, occasionally performing some practice punches or loosening exercises. All business and does not take her eyes off her opponents.

Aiello: Molinaro is looking particularly dangerous tonight. Then again, so is Cassidy.

Piven: Emma Louise is my pick to come out on top tonight. I heard she trained for this match by lifting an entire ice cream truck… WITH HER TEETH!!!

Aiello: … Okay?

All three competitors wait in their corners until the bell is finally rung. There is a brief hesitation from all three, until is is Molinaro who attacks first, using an Irish Whip to send Cassidy across the ring. Luise leaps into the air with a missile drop kick, sending Cassidy down and out of the ring! Milliner goes for Luise first with stiff elbows and chops. The two of them end up in the corner where Molinaro sizes her up, unleashing a hellish chop to the neck upon Louise! Rebounding quickly, Louise grabs Molinaro by the neck and falls backward, sending her face first into the turnbuckle post!!

Molinaro holds her jaw as Louise rolls away, satisfied with her attack. She turns around just as Cassidy hops from the ringside area, to the top rope.. and into the air, only to land on her with a flying body splash!

The fans cheer loudly as Cassidy performs a snap DDT on Louise, following that up with a arm drag takedown! Cassidy holds on to the arm, attempting to lock in a submission hold when suddenly she is grabbed from behind, spun around, and hit with a European uppercut by Molinaro!!

Cassidy stumbles backward right into a waiting Louise who lifts her, turns her over, and plants Cassidy into the mat with a spine buster!! The fans cheer as Louise pummels Cassidy with repeated stomping to the face and arms! Molinaro grans Louise but is suddenly elbowed away, as Louise had anticipated the attack!

Molinaro is once again holding her jaw when Louise lifts her into the air, spins, and plants her into the mat with a backdrop! Louise then stands up with an arm raised in celebration, the fans rallying behind her in excitement!!

Aiello: WOW!! Louise is on fire here!!

Piven: She certainly is showing us something tonight. Can she keep it up though? With two other people to…. WOW!!!!

Cassidy nails a big boot to the face on Louise, only to spin around and drive her to the mat with a power clothesline! The fans cheer loudly as Cassidy punches her in the face, only to lock in a headlock and attempt to squeeze the air out of Louise! Louise’s face turns beat red as she holds on for dear life!

The hold is broken up now as Molinaro drops an elbow on the both of them! Not letting up, Molinaro picks up Louise and lifts her into the air, performing a snap suplex! Molinaro does the same with Cassidy, but Cassidy lands on her feet behind Molinaro! Grabbing Molinaro by the head, Cassidy runs across the ring and performs a reverse bulldog!! Cassidy covers for the pin!

Emma Louise breaks up the pin by stomping the two of them!

Grabbing the head of Molinaro, Louise yells to the fans before punching her in the face with authority! Cassidy rushes in next and scoops up Louise, planting her hard into the mat! Stumbling backwards, Cassidy wipes off her mouth as she takes a quick break. The fans cheer with excitement as she looks around her… amazed by the packed house!!

Aiello: Cassidy looks to be getting the edge here. Is it smart though to let up with the window of opportunity is so small?!

Piven: The three of them have been going at it since the bell with no let up! Of course it is smart to do so! WAIT.. WHAT’S THIS??!!

Cassidy stalks Molinaro, signaling for her finisher! As Molinaro stumbles to her feet, Cassidy rushes her and nails her finisher.. the Blue Thunder Bomb! Molinaro rolls on to her back on the mat, completely knocked out cold! Cassidy rolls away just as Louise drops a leg… nailing only Molinaro instead! Ceasing the moment, Cassidy rushes Louise and raises a knee, attempting the Cassie-Knee!! Louise dives to the side however, nailing the referee instead!!!

Shocked, Cassidy attempts to wake the referee up! It is then that she is spun around by Louise! Louise performs her finisher.. the “Girl-Crush”, driving Cassidy into the mat below! Louise covers for the pin…

The referee is still out cold…

Getting up, Louise looks at Molinaro who is still not moving at all. She then looks at Cassidy who is on her back with no sign of movement.

Aiello: WE NEED A REFEREE!!! THIS COULD BE OVER NOW!!!

Molinaro is the first to roll over now. Louise sees this and raises one arm, sending the fans into a frenzy! She signals for her finisher once more! Molinaro uses the ropes to get back up..

She spins around…

Out of no where, Brett Black hops over the crowd barrier as the fans boo loudly!!

Piven: WHAT THE HELL?!!!

Sliding into the ring, Brett Black snags Louise before she can notice him! Black lifts her into the air and drives Louise into the mat with his finisher.. The Black Out Powerbomb!!! With the fan sobbing loudly, Brett drops to one knee, smiling an evil grin. Across the ring, Molinaro sees this and looks confused!

Aiello: Why is Brett Black helping Molinaro?!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!

Molinaro yells at Black to get the hell out of the ring. Black nods his head, his hair hanging in front of his face. He rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp way to the boos of the fans. Black blows Molinaro a kiss and then smiles as he reaches the stage.

Cassidy is slowly getting back up now as is the referee, taking Molinaro’s attention. Walking over to Cassidy, Molinaro brings her to her feet and lifts her into the air, dropping her hard with a body slam! Molinaro rushes to the ropes now, using them for momentum as she nails a baseball slide to the side of Cassidy’s head! With the arena at full tilt, Molinaro hooks the leg for the pin…

THREE!!

The crowd stands in shock as Molinaro gets the win! Rising up off of her fallen foe, Molinaro looks back over her shoulder and notices that Brett Black is standing on the stage staring at her. The two of them lock eyes while Jessica Stroup speaks.

Jessica Stroup: Your winner... LAURA MOLINARO!!!

With the fans not sure how to respond, they look on as Molinaro has her hand raised in victory. Her eyes never leave Brett Black who is staring at her.. his eyes full of interest. 

Laura was now about to leave out of the ring but then she look up the ramp as the lights in the arena goes off as Centuries came blasting over the speakers. Laura look up the ramp with a bit of a smirk. The crowd starts to sing along with the song. 

The crowd: Du du du du-du du du Du du du du du-du du du

As the smoke clears Ruthless Aggression wearing a “Hot Rod” shirt and leather jacket with black jeans chewing bubble gum. She just stares down at Laura as she slowly start to walk down the ramp as she crowd was cheering like crazy. She stop in the middle of the path staring at Laura with a grin. The lights came on as she climb inside of the ring as the lights came back on. She point out towards the crowd as they were chanting her name. 

The Crowd: Ruthless... Ruthless... Ruthless... 

Ruthless pull out the microphone from her back pocket as she point her finger out towards the crowd. 

Ruthless Aggression: That just one of the reason why I am so special. 

Ruthless Aggression just smirk as Laura just laughs as the crowd start to chant her name once again. 

The Crowd: Ruthless... Ruthless... Ruthless... 

Laura have a bit of a smirk on her face as she walk over and took the microphone out of her hand. Ruthless raised an eyebrow over at Laura. Laura start to speak the crowd start to boo her right away. 

The Crowd: Boooo... 

Laura smirks as she wait for them to calm down as she point her finger at Ruthless Aggression. 

Laura Molinaro: You might have all these losers behind you. You might have a few of the guys in the back behind you. It doesn’t mean shit to me. You are nothing in my eyes and I truly don’t see why I need to be inside of the ring with someone below me. You just upset at the fact I attack your little student. I show everyone around here how much of a better fighter I am. So instead of fighting your students fights you need to stay on Rampage where you belong with all the other loser are.

Before Laura could finish Ruthless took the microphone away from her with a glare that could kill someone right on the spot. Laura blinks a bit as Ruthless got right into her face as she just laughs a bit with a smirk. 

Ruthless Aggression: No no no! . I am not here to fight Kimi fight because she a big girl. She wear big girls panties and will handle you in her way when the time comes. 

She smirks a bit. 

Ruthless Aggression: You see...I have Ronnie McNeil that want my blood for some reason. I have a closed friend that passed away... I have Tony and X fighting each other which I am trying to stay out of it. Now there you. You... the. Little whine, crybaby, talk so much crap out of her face doesn’t even realized the hole you are digging yourself in. You just going to keep on digging till the point there no way you come out of it. I believe that time come. 

Ruthless look at her very serious as Laura wasn’t backing down at all. Ruthless glares right back at her as she just shook her head at Laura. 

Ruthless Aggression: I try to help you but there are times. You need to let people fall on their ass. Do you actually truly believe you on Brawl because of the talent you have? You on Brawl for one reason and one reason only. To be a taught a fucking lesson. You will be a taught a lesson from a few of the guys in the back in a way you never saw coming. You don’t come up to play with the big boys and don’t think your ass will not be handle to you. You going to get your ass handle to you in the hard way. A way you NEVER saw coming for yourself.You will have to realized there are many others in the back that have more talent than your little pinkie and toe put together. You have to realized one day you will say something to someone. To someone you truly wish you NEVER should have fuck with. They will murder you and there will not be anything you can do about it. I saw many great thing for you and I still do but your fucking mouth just going to keep you in trouble. 

Laura looks upset as she was pacing back and forth in the ring. Ruthless just looks over at her as she shook her head. Ruthless move her head to the right as she spoke towards her. 

Ruthless Aggression: I know that look. I saw that look before from every male and female wrestlers, fighter and anyone I ever was up against. They want to kick my ass so get in line. You looking at a woman since as a child have gotten her arm broken by her father.. gotten her leg broken by her father.. gotten every piece of bone in her body broken by her father every day of her life as a child. You looking at woman who was just degraded by her mother. A fucking mother suppose to be there for their little girl. Instead she would say and do things to make want to crawl away and die. You looking at a woman who got got shot at! Stab! Raped! Had miscarriage! She still standing in front of you as one of the best fucking wrestlers of all time! 

The crowd start to chant a bit louder as Ruthless looks back at Laura with a serious face. Ruthless just have this look that can kill someone right there on the spot. 

Ruthless Aggression: You are looking at a woman who not scare of having her blood spill inside of this ring. A woman who was in a match where her fucking ass was blow up in the middle of the ring. My heart stop for 5 seconds and slowly raised my arm to show I was still alive. I have been in so many matches or even jump to the point with blood covering me from head to toe. Everyone wonder what keep this bitch still going on strong! What keep her alive! I show I am the only son of a bitch that can beat death! Death has nothing on me! 

Ruthless walks right into Laura face as they were face to face as she spoke. 

Ruthless Aggression: I am that same woman who have gone toe to toe with some of the best in this business. I am the woman who became the FIRST EVER WOMAN TO WIN THE EWC CHAMPION title. A title they never thought a woman could win here at this company. So before you ask what make me so special! You fucking do your homework before you talk trash about someone. You think I am scared to have another broken bone on my list. You think I am scare of getting a beat down. Guess what? I enjoy them! I say bring it! They what keep this dumb bitch heart pumping strong at night. Think again! Be happy at the fact you on Brawl because the day you and I have the chance to face each other. You will wish you was NEVER born! So how is that as a fucking answer to your question! 

Ruthless drop the microphone down in the ring chewing her bubble gum as they both just start trashing talk each other inside of the ring. Laura back away slowly as she just smirk pointing her finger at her like as a gun and fire it at her. She grab the microphone as she was standing outside of the ring looking up at her. 

Laura: You shouldn’t have never say that. Time and place we will meet. It will be on my terms and when that happen. We see who have the biggest bite so till then. Sit back old lady and watch as I do things you wish you could do. 

Ruthless Aggression just stood there with a smirk as Laura climb out of the ring with a grin. She just nod her head walking backwards as Ruthless lean over the rope just glaring at her. Laura just laughing her head off a bit walking towards the back.

BACKSTAGE

---

The cameras backstage show King Flip being tended to be a medic. He spots the camera and smiles, blood coagulated across his face. The medic checks on his back.

King Flip: Xavier... Reid. XAVIER. FUCKING. REID. You sent me a message and I got it loud and clear. I got my licks in but you stood up, above me, after it was all said an done. Kudos to the one and only time that happens. You want to face off at One Night Encounter? No problem. You want to name the stipulation? More power to you, Reid. But what you don't know will definitely hurt you. Xavier Reid, you have no fucking clue, do you? You think 'Cold-Hearted King' is just some catchy moniker bullshit? You think I'm nothing more than a crowd-pandering comedy act? Well, son, like I said in my promo... you've awaken a slumbering King. And now you get to find out why you should've just left it well enough alone.

The medic has Flip stand up and continues checking him out with pokes, prods, and nods before giving a non-verbal clear and being shooed away by the King who never breaks eye contact directly into the viewfinder.

King Flip: You don't know how to take a classic rib? That's not my problem. You want to make it personal, attacking my good friend and manager until he's concussed and injured? See, that very much is my fucking problem. You had my interest, Xavier, but now you have my attention. And just like this blood you made trickle down my forehead, Reid, you're nothing more than a stain. One I'll gladly wipe off the Goddamn map at One Night Encounter. But don't say I didn't warn you. And don't expect a rematch when your sorry ass can't answer the ten count. All hail the King.

King Flip walks away, chuckling to himself.

MATCH 5
METAL BLACK Vs SLADE HARDISON

---

The fans in the arena stir as fireworks emit from the arena rooftop area. Raising their signs, they pump their fists and try to gain the attention of the camera feed as it pans to random attendees. A large feeling of excitement is prevalent.

Aiello: Our next match will be a doozy. We have the always dangerous, Metal Black, stepping into the ring against a person who has been itching for a fight, Slade Hardison. Any thoughts, compadre?!

Piven: Black has been very impressive thus far in the promotion. I expect big things form her tonight. Though I won’t be surprised if we see something a little extra.. special.. from Hardison as well.

Aiello: I will agree with you. Hardison is looking fit and ready and so it Metal Black! Let’s get to the action!!!

Piven: Calm the hell down.. will you?

Aiello: Sorry..

The camera feed pans to the ring where we see Jessica Stroup in a sparkling dress. Her beauty is obvious as she smiles and begins to speak. Around her, camera flashes create a strobe like pattern.

Jessica Stroup: The next match is scheduled for one fall. Coming out to the ring first, please welcome.. Sade Hardison!!!

All Hustle, No Luck by Easy Lantana begins to play all over the arena. Slade Hardison runs out onto the stage jumping up and down. Slade then starts pumping up the crowd by lifting his hands up and down. Slade begins to walk down the ramp and stops in the middle of the ramp. Slade looks around the crowd and starts hitting his fist on his chest. On the 5th time, the pyros explode up and down the ramp. Slade continues his walk to the ring, giving hi-fives to the fans. Slade then jumps onto the apron and gets into the ring. Slade walks to the nearest turnbuckle, climbs it, and lifts his hands up and down.

Jessica Stroup: Coming to the ring next, she is the woman known around the world as… METAL BLACK!!!

The lights dim as a few acoustic cords get strummed over the PA. As "Conditions of my Parole" by Puscifer hits in full blast, Metal Black emerges from the back in a leather jacket and... frankly, not a whole lot else. With a pool cue slung over one shoulder and a Black & Mild cigar tucked between her lips, she takes her time making her way down the ramp. She high fives fans, she stops to lean over the guard rail and let them take pictures with her, and otherwise seems to be having the time of her life.

Metal Black leans her pool cue up against the apron before sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring. She paces around a bit before putting her cigar out on one of the turnbuckles, then flicks it to the floor and pull herself up on the corner. The cheers of the crowd heighten for a moment as she grabs the edges of her jacket, hesitantly... then tugs it from her shoulders, tossing the jacket to the referee and revealing what might well be the lewdest ring attire in professional wrestling.

Aiello: Metal Black is looking extra dangerous tonight. She has the look of a ferocious bull!

Piven: You know, if I didn’t know better, I would guess that you have a crush on her. That’s cute.

Aiello: … NO! Ummm.. NO I DON’T!

Both competitors circle one another as the bell is rung. Sade is the first to go on the attack, as he rushes Black like a tiger! Going to down low, he lifts Black from off of her feet and flips her to the mat! Black fights him off furiously with hard fists and elbows but it does not take Slade long to lock in an arm bar! The referee checks on Black but she shakes her head repeatedly, signaling that there is no give up in her yet!

Arching her back, Black uses her upper body strength as she rolls the two of them over! Slade’s shoulders are pinned to the mat as the referee slides down for the pin!!

Both competitors kick away and roll out!

Slade, still on the offense, uses a leg sweep but Black simply hops over the attempt! Black snags Slade and brings him in. Sade elbows her away and kicks her in the gut! Sade yanks her under his arm for a arm wrench headlock submission! In another show of strength, Black lifts Slade from off of his feet and nails text book backdrop!!! Both competitors remain on their backs for a time.

Black is the first to roll over on to her side. Breathing hard, she gets back up to her feet. Sade slowly rises across from her. Rushing across the ring, Black attempts a bulldog but Slade pivots, grabs her head, and plants her with a…. wait…. Black counters… spins around.. and drops Slade with a neckbreaker!!! The fans scream with excitement!

Aiello: What an excellent match from both of these competitors! I didn’t expect a dose of classic styled brawling her tonight!

Piven: I am going to have to admit, this is truly entertaining, even if you have been watching Black’s ass for the entire match so far..

Aiello: I AM A PROFESSIONAL!!

Piven: Riiiiiiiiiiight, Just keep your eyes on the ring, Romeo.

Black twists her body and rolls Slade up into a small package pin attempt!

Black stumbles forward and grabs the ropes. Behind her, Hardison is shaking off the cobwebs. Turning to face Slade, Black takes a swing at him but Slade ducks under the attack! Metal Black follows through with the attack with a leg sweep though, taking Slade off of his feet and to the mat below! Black quickly scrambles to lock up her finisher.. the Motograter! Sade quickly nods his head and shakes his hand, signaling his submission!

Jessica Stroup: Your winner.. METAL BLACK!!

Metal Black releases him and rises to celebrate with the fans, exhausted… but victorious.

Aiello: Strong win tonight by Black. Very strong.. We will be right back folks

MATCH 6
NON TITLE MATCH
SHAWN CAGE Vs TONY SAVAGE (C)
(THIS IS THE MATCH FROM THIS PAST WEEK)

---

Jeremy Piven: This match was delayed from last week due to a interruption in the broadcast to cut into the feed of Donald Trump hating Mexicans

Joe Aiello: I can’t wait, a raising star in Shawn Cage meets the reigning EWC Champion, Tony Savage, in one on one action!

Jessica Stroup: The following match is a non-title match, and scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, standing 6’3” and weighing in at 231 lbs. He is “The Hardcore Messiah” SHAWN CAGE!

"This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
Listen to the tone in the violent rhythm.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
Listen to the tone in the violent rhythm."

"Violent Rhythm 2” By Linkin Park & Eminem plays throughout the arena, after the opening part of the song the arena fades into pitch black. As the music begins to pick up, the stage lights flash white in between the pitch blackness to match the beat of the guitar.

"So whatcha waiting for?
Anticipating more
Why you debate what it can take to instigate a war?
Yeah I've been hating on the time I wasn't hated for
There's nothing they can fucking say they didn't say before
But you could never see it, your battle's not mine
Wanna skate and play it safe but this is take a shot time
You're waiting for a purpose, I already got mine
While you tell me step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4!."


Shawn walks out from the back through a pyro like rain while the lights fade to a black light purplish red effect and huge amounts of red and silver pyro shoot out from the sides and top of the entrance way ramp following by two Canadian Flags eclipsing both sides of the entrance ramp as the music continued to play in the background over the sound system.

"So let me break this fucker down for ya
I really don't know ya
You're talk, but let me show you where to put your paranoia
Your're joking I don't have a half a sucker bone to throw yah
I'm disgusted wonder what's gonna make you tuck your tail below ya
And no I'm not your soldier, I'm not taking any orders
I'm a five star general infantry controller, need a lesson, let me show you.
Have you checking your composure while I make you step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4!"

Shawn Cage has his attention focused on taking his time while walking down to the ring, slapping a few hands of fans at ringside and getting into the face of some of the fans who have choice words for him. He stops and looks around at the fans and gets a mixture of boos and cheers, he then makes his way to the ring. Once there he runs up the steel steps and onto the apron.

"If I could capture the rage of today's youth and bottle it
Crush the glass from my bare hands and swallow it
Then spit it back in the faces of you racists
and hypocrites who think the same shit but don't say shit
You Liberace's, Versace's, and you nazis
Watch me, cause you thinking you got me in this hot seat
You motherfuckers wanna JUDGE me cause you're NOT me
You'll never STOP me, I'm TOP speed as you POP me"

He then grabs the top rope and flips over into the ring, stopping in the center of the ring as the fans boo and cheer, some throw random trash into the ring in an attempt to hit and others snap pictures of him as he taunts them with his last name is then spelled out in silver and red pyro behind him on a structure that was lowered from the rafters.

"I came to save these new generations of babies
from parents who failed to raise 'em cause they're lazy
to grow to praise me I'm makin 'em go crazy
That's how I got this whole nation to embrace me
And you fugazi if you think I'ma admit wrong
I cripple any hypocritic critic I'm sic'd on
And this song is for any kid who gets picked on
A sick song to retaliate to..

This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
This is not the end, This is not the beginning.
Listen to the tone in the violent rhythm."

He then takes off his hoodie, earrings, lip and eyebrow ring and places it on the outside and then calls to a member of the ringside crew to come and grab his items, He then reaches into his pocket he pulls out a pair of padded MMA black gloves and begins to put them on and stretch out using the ring ropes, awaiting the bell while slipping a mouth guard in-between his teeth.

Jeremy Piven: Shawn Cage has been on a roll since entering EWC. How high and fast can he rise to the top?

Joe Aiello: With the way Shawn Cage’s been going, he’s going to be reaching the pinnacle very fast.

”Shoot to Thrill” By AC/DC starts to play over the PA System, the fans explode as some degenerate asshole is about to get his evening ruined.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen, now making his way into the ring, from Atlantic City, New Jersey via Atlanta, Georgia, standing 6’3” and weighing in at 245 lbs…

EWC’s official bail bondsman… he is the EWC Champion, “The Atlanta Falcon” TONY SAVAGE!

Tony stops the bike next to the announcers table, revving the engine to the delight of fans nearby, and to the chagrin of that piece of shit Piven and his eardrums. He parks the bike, EWC's security crew takes temporary custody of Tony's weapons and search him, then, jumps into the ring still in street clothes, cracking his knuckles and ready to fight.

Joe Aiello: Our EWC Champion, Tony Savage. Will be able to detract Shawn Cage in his winning ways this week?

Jeremy Piven: There’s a lot of back and forth talk with both fans boys in the back.

Savage gives the EWC Championship to the referee who calls for the bell once he’s checked Shawn and Tony. The two lock up in the center of the ring and Shawn hits a European Uppercut and follows up with a Belly to Belly Suplex. The two men get up again and this time, Tony tries trading some punches but Shawn can trade them back and after a stunning elbow to the jaw, Shawn hits a STO and tries to apply a Hammerlock but Tony is able to get to the ropes.

Shawn rushes over and hits a Snap DDT on his opponent and locks in a Hammer lock and attempts to get a Stretch Plum in but is unable to get it as Tony presses his feet into the turnbuckle and kicks back. The two shoot back but Shawn rolls it and runs to Tony as he sits up and hits a drop kick in his chest.

Joe Aiello: Shawn off to an early advantage.

Jeremy Piven: He has youth to his advantage but Tony Savage has experience.

Shawn doesn’t go for a pin, he lifts his opponent up, hits his face with and elbow and tries for an Enzuigiri but Tony catches his left and kicks his opponent in the face. The crowd starts to pop as Tony builds up some steam, Shawn gets up and is hit with a Reverse Russian Legsweep, this time Tony stays on top of his opponent and hits Reverse Armbar. Shawn yells loudly but manages to get a foot on the ropes.

Before the referee can count, Tony releases his opponent and starts stomping all over his body then gets to his knees and drives knees into Shawn’s shoulder. Shawn rolls out of the ring and Tony backs away to let him in, which works and the two circle each other but this time Tony lifts a knee up and drives it into his opponent’s gut and hits a Gutbuster.

Taking his time to further weaken his opponent’s arm, Tony drops several elbows over Shawn’s arm then applies another Reverse Arm Bar. After a few seconds of keeping it locked in and Cage refusing to tap out, Tony breaks the hold and pulls his opponent up, this a boxing combo causing Shawn to stay dazzed and get hit in the face with a Bionic Elbow. Laying down, Tony goes for a cover…

Shoulder up by Shawn Cage!

Joe Aiello: Close call by Shawn Cage!

Jeremy Piven: The former King of the Cage contestant has a lot left in his tank.

Tony leans over Shawn and hammers away at his face, pulls him up and hits another Bionic Elbow which in turn causes Shawn to stumble back into a turnbuckle. Running over, Tony slams into his opponent’s chest at full speed, Shawn gasps loudly as the air is forced out of his lungs and Tony sneaks in a quick head butt. Mounting the stunned Shawn Cage, Tony Savage taunts him and starts firing fists away at his opponent’s head. The crowd starts counting and get to ten before Tony Savage leans back and lands a Monkey Flip on Shawn Cage, throwing him out the corner.

Walking over to his opponent, Tony starts punching his opponent repeatedly in his face. Grabbing his arm and shoulder, Tony Savage pulls his opponent onto his feet and lifts him to hit a Vertical Suplex. He leans over his opponent’s chest but Shawn Cage turns it into an Inside Package!

KICK OUT BY TONY SAVAGE!

Jeremy Piven: Wow that was a really close call by Tony Savage!

Joe Aiello: The veteran knows how to get out of situations he doesn’t want ot be in. Shawn Cage has a chance to really turn this around.

The two stand up and Shawn hits a Hip Toss, they get up and Shawn hits another Hip Toss, this time he keeps their arms locked in and hits a Hammerlock. Tony refuses to tap out and manages to stand up, and tries back up Shawn manages to keep locked in, and as Tony pushes him into a turnbuckle, Shawn walks back, climbs up and hits a Hurricarana sending Tony Savage flying across the ring. Cage crawls over, pulls up Tony’s head and hits several Flash Elbows to his face.

Taking a moment to pick up Tony, Shawn shows off a little and hits a Saito Suplex, then walks to a turnbuckle, mounts it and hits a Somersault Legdrop across his opponent’s neck. Tony rolls to the center of the ring but his opponent is on top of him and locks in a headlock. Tony doesn’t tap and is picked up then hit with a Cradle DDT and Shawn Cage makes a cover…

Kickout by Shawn Cage!

Jeremy Piven: An inside package of Tony Savage’s own! How amazing is it to see the EWC Champion still thinking this sharp and this fast?

Joe Aiello: He didn’t win the EWC Championship from good looks or his connection with Kid Cannabis. Tony Savage won a hard fought match with Derek Wellings to earn that right and in turn managed a massive upset victory against Ruthless Aggression!

The two roll away from each other and look to the crowd who start cheering and applauding the two men in the ring. Shawn and Tony lock up and Tony gets the advantage by driving a knee into Shawn’s gut. Grabbing his opponent by his waist, Tony hits a Piledriver and mounts his opponent and starts punching Shawn’s face.

He gets up and bounces off the ropes to land an elbow over Tony’s face. Tony pulls Shawn up by his arm and hits a Reverse Russian Legsweep and tries for a cover but his opponent rolls onto his stomach. Shawn covers his head as Tony punches his from behind, as Shawn won’t tap or release the protection of his head, Tony applies a Rear Naked Choke lifts him up and hits a Rear Naked Choke Drop.

He stands up and signals for the end. The fans explode as they anxiously await the Cardiac Arrest. He looks allows Shawn Cage to recover and slowly starts standing, Tony Savage punches his fist as the crowd claps with him. Shawn turns around as Tony runs over but he ducks at the last second, kicks Tony in the gut and hits a Caged Explosion but Tony counters but trying to back body drop Shawn Cage. However Shawn Cage holds onto his opponent’s waist and hits a Sunset Flip, rolls over him and holds in a bridge the referee starts counting!...

NO DQ HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

DEREK WELLINGS (C)
Vs 
SHADOW MAN (C)

WINNER BECOMES SOLE HOLDER OF THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP
LOSER IS TRADED TO FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE

---

Jeremy Piven: The main event of tonight’s Brawl! First Derek Wellings opens the show announcing that he has once again upped the ante of the game tonight and decided that he wants this match to be settled with one clear victor: A Ladder Match!

Joe Aiello: Well it was announced that because of Blacklist’s actions against The FORCE, the loser of this match would be sent to Rampage. Our General Managers were told by President Danny Mac to do something, and they did what they had to do.

Jessica Stroup: The following match is your Main Event and it is for the EWC Hardcore Championship and it is a Ladder Match! Introducing first from New York City, New York, standing 6’5” and weighing in at 245 lbs, he is one half of the EWC Hardcore Champions, representing the FORCE, “The Hardcore Legend” SHADOW MAN!

The lights in the arena slowly begin to dim as everyone in the arena quickly gets to their feet and begin to make some noise. "Invincible" by OK Go then begins to play over the Sound System as three strobe lights begin to pulse in the entrance way, fog then begins to rise from below the stage in front of the entrance.

The X-Treme Tron lights up counting down from 9 all the way to 1. It seems as though every single person is on their feet counting down the numbers. Once it gets to 0 large letters flash “IT'S SHOWTIME”.

An enormous uproar of cheers now blends out the blasting of "Invincible"! A few moments later Shadow Man walks from behind the wall of Fog onto the stage. He stands there for a few seconds with a smirk on his face, the EWC World Tag Team Championship around his waist and begins to point to the fans who are screaming the loudest.

Shadow then looks towards the camera with a cocky yet confident look on his face as he begins to walk down the ramp and towards the ring. On the way he makes silly faces into the camera. After waving at the fans while walking down the ramp Shadow runs and slides onto the ring apron on one knee and holding onto the middle Rope, Shadow gets to his feet and in a cocky manor steps threw the first and second Ropes.

He then gets into the ring and runs over to the corner and jumps up onto the second turnbuckle. He pats himself on the chest twice and then points to all the screaming fans. He then points to the sky and pumps his fist for Memphis Reigns Shadow then jumps down from the turnbuckle and turns around and leans in the corner and awaits for the match to begin.

Joe Aiello: Shadow Man paying proper homage to his late friend Memphis Reigns there, will the spirit of Memphis Reigns bring Shadow Man good luck tonight?

Jeremy Piven: Lady Luck has found her way to Shadow Man frequently as of late. I’m sure she’ll keep her presence in Shadow Man’s favor.

Jessica Stroup: His opponent from Detroit, Michigan, standing 6’4” and weighing 280 lbs, he is the other half of the EWC Hardcore Champions and is representing the Blacklist, “The Airborne Ranger” DEREK WELLINGS!



The crowd starts booing loudly as "Any Means Necessary" starts playing loudly and Derek Wellings makes his way onto the stage. He stands alone on top of the ramp, raises a fist clenching the EWC Hardcore Championship to the air as black, gold, then red pyro shoots out behind him. He calmly walks to the ring keeping his eye on Shadow Man. The two argue with one another as Derek nears the ring, Shadow Man leaves the ring as Derek slides in a la Edge.

He stands up quickly, holds the EWC Hardcore Championship above his head as the fans continue booing. The referee walks over to Derek and asks for the title, he takes it and the referee attaches it to cable that will be suspending it over the ring. The title is raised up as Shadow Man enters the ring, he looks up with Derek Wellings to see the title hanging a legitimate 12 feet above the ring. The referee calls for the bell.

Joe Aiello: Tonight, we’ll find out who the soul owner of the EWC Hardcore Championship is. Will it be the EWC Legend, Shadow Man or will it be The Airborne Ranger, Derek Wellings? There will be no question in anyone’s mind tonight.

Jeremy Piven: Blacklist Fans and FORCE fans have been waiting far to long since their last match ended in a no contest. There won’t happen again tonight, our new General Managers have made sure of that.

While Shadow Man is looking up, Derek runs out and hits a clothesline hard enough on Shadow Man to cause him to do a backflip. Stunned, Shadow Man looks up as Derek hits several elbows in rapid succession on his opponent’s chest. Allowing Shadow Man up, Derek stalks him from behind and locks in a Full Nelson, putting up a struggle Shadow Man does everything he can think of to escape however the Airborne Ranger starts pulling at his ears.

The crowd boos loudly as Derek attempts to tear Shadow’s ears off, who screams loudly but as Derek cannot remove Shadow’s ears, he lifts him up and hits a Full Nelson Slam instead. Walking across his opponent’s chest, Derek taunts him and roars at the crowd.

Shadow Man rolls onto his chest and Derek picks up his opponent around his waist and hits a German Suplex, holds on and hits another, followed by another, then a fourth and he finishes with fifth German Suplex. Derek points up at the championship and motions for it to be around his waist.

Jeremy Piven: There’s a fire in the eyes of Derek Wellings. He’s giving it all to Shadow Man. Their anger and hatred has been building since StrangleMania X.

Joe Aiello: It’s either from all the pain and losses Derek has faced in the past couple of months or it was all from being constantly overlooked and looked down upon from said actions.

Derek slides out of the ring, looks under it and tosses in a trash can filled with weapons, several light tubes, and an 8 foot ladder. He slides each weapon into the ring, takes the trash can and empties it on Shadow Man before repeated smashing him over his back. Grabbing a cattle prod, Derek shocks Shadow Man several time over his buttocks then once in the neck.

The sharp pain forces Shadow Man to turn violently and back hand Derek across his eyes, temporarily blinding him and throwing the taser out of the ring. Angered, Derek turns back to Shadow Man to see him using the turnbuckle to get on his feet but the Airborne Ranger hits a Half Nelson on his opponent, drags him to the trash can and hits a Half Nelson Slam. The trash can is completely flattened and Derek pulls Shadow Man up, head in between his legs and hits a pile driver on the light tubes.

The fans in the audience want to cheer the violence but boo Derek for beating down their Hardcore Legend. Keeping is hands locked around his opponent’s waist, Derek stands up, pulling Shadow Man up with him and hits a Gutwrench Suplex on several more light tubes. Seeing that Shadow Man is down, Derek sets up the ladder under the Hardcore Championship. He begins climbing the ladder as Shadow Man looks to see the situation.

Jeremy Piven: Looks like Derek Wellings is going to try and win this match early tonight. Shadow Man did take one impressive beat down at the hands of his enemy.

Joe Aiello: The fans won’t like seeing their Hardcore Icon lose his championship without a fight. Then again, you really don’t expect Shadow Man to lose this match without a fight now do you?

As Derek reaches the top of the ladder, Shadow Man gets to his feet and walks to the ladder. The Airborne Ranger’s finger tips touch the title and Shadow Man shoves the ladder over causing Derek to fall off and land on the canvas hard. Taking a blackjack on the ground, Shadow Man starts beating Derek’s knee in retribution for the vicious knee previously.

Derek rolls out of the ring and Shadow Man falls, striking the blackjack against his opponent’s shoulder. He throws it down then grabbing Derek by an arm and his tights, Shadow Man runs to the stairs and runs him into it head first. The Airborne Ranger rolls over it and Shadow Man climbs the ring edge, runs to Derek and jumps off with a Missile Dropkick which pushes Derek into the time keepers table.

Jeremy Piven: We’re seeing Shadow Man getting back a lot of revenge for what Blacklist has done to him and FORCE over the past couple of weeks.

Joe Aiello: We’re going to be seeing a lot frustration released between these men tonight. Derek tried to win early and now he’s paying for it.

Shadow Man walks over with a purpose; he grabs Joe Aiello’s pitch of water and smashes it against the back of Derek’s Head then hits a Face Wash against the shards on the broken table. Derek screams loudly as he hits it hard holding his face. Shadow Man stands up on the table to a thunderous applause from the crowd; he turns around to see Derek standing up, jumps backwards and hits a Moonsault.

Picking Derek up by his head, Shadow Man walks him over to the other opposite ring steps and hits a Russian Legsweep, causing the steps to separate. Shadow Man quickly gets up, grabs the top half and swings it down on Derek’s ribs several times. The Airborne Ranger tries to cover himself but Shadow Man kicks his arms away every time and throws it down hard on Derek’s chest. Pulling his opponent up, Shadow Man lifts up Derek Wellings and hits a Spinning Spinebuster on the stairs, causing Derek to roll off in pain holding his back.

Joe Aiello: The brutalization of Derek Wellings continues tonight on BRAWL. Don’t expect to see a lot of wrestling from Shadow Man. Just a good old fashioned mugging.

Jeremy Piven: We’re going to see a mugging to. Derek Wellings has been a pain in Shadow Man’s side since StrangleMania X and his former tag team partner probably added to the anger and intensity at Night of Champions.

Leaving a beaten down opponent outside the ring, Shadow Man goes back inside and sets the ladder up once again. He points at the Championship and the fans start to explode as Shadow starts climbing up. Outside Derek gets up and sees Shadow climbing the ladder; he looks under the ring to find a metal pole, and slides in with it. Shadow Man touches the strap with the tips of his fingers but stops as Derek slams the pipe into Shadow’s legs several times.

Shadow Man leans over the pinnacle of the ladder and this time Derek drop kicks the side and Shadow Man falls over with the ladder landing on the ground near Jeremy Piven and Joe Aiello. He holds his injured knee that Xplode and Derek Wellings made worst weeks ago.

Jeremy Piven: Looks like the People’s Champion is having difficulty in this match. That knee of his hasn’t healed yet and he won’t let it heal either.

Joe Aiello: Both men are fierce proud warriors. They’re not going to give up until one of them are dead or have the EWC Hardcore Championship, whichever comes first.

Derek stumbles over the ladder and lands face first on Shadow’s bad knee, the two roll over holding their respective parts. However, Derek grabs a Bus Sign and smashes Shadow Man’s knee with it. He screams loudly trying to roll away, but Derek doesn’t relent as he continuously beats away at Shadow’s knee with the sign until it’s warped and useless. He tosses the sign in the crowd which a fan grabs.

Getting out through the bottom ropes, Derek grabs Shadow Man by his facial hair and pulls him out and drives elbows over his neck. Grabbing a hold of Shadow Man, Derek pulls out of the ring completely and lifts him over his head. The Airborne Ranger starts Military Pressing the People’s Champion before releasing to catch him and hit a Powerslam on the floor.

Flipping the ringside up, Derek pulls out a second ladder and plays it across the ring and barricade. He places Shadow Man long ways across the ladder but Shadow fights back throwing fists at Derek and grabbing a hand full of mullet. His opponent counters with an Eye Rake then driving a fist into Shadow Man’s crotch. Moving as fast as he can, Derek jumps up on the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. He roars at Shadow Man and jumps off...


…


… the fans take pictures


… they hold their breaths


CRASH! Derek Wellings puts Shadow Man through the ladder to applause of the crowd.

Joe Aiello: Derek Wellings is the Airborne Ranger for a reason! He just hits a massive top rope splash on Shadow Man from the turnbuckle!

Jeremy Piven: That was solid, freaking steel! You know Shadow Man will definitely be feeling that in the weeks to come.

The two roll away from each and Shadow Man lays halfway under the ring. The two catch their breath and Derek is first up, grabbing Shadow Man and helping him up. Shadow has a porcelain vase in hand and smashes on Derek’s nose, breaking it. The Airborne Ranger holds his face and nose as blood drips out while Shadow Man grabs two cast iron skillets and begins bashing Derek’s shoulders and head.

The fans start counting with each blow and get to ten when Shadow Man throws them at Derek, runs over and hits a running Belly to Belly Suplex. Derek hits the ground hard and Shadow Man stands up, avoiding putting pressure on his bad knee, and starts driving elbows over his opponent’s face and neck. Taking Derek by his hands, Shadow Man pulls him and brings him over to the Spanish announcer’s table. He lays Derek out with a Sitout Crucifix Powerbomb on the floor then places him on the table itself.

Shadow Man takes his time climbing up on the ring side, avoiding trying hurt his knee. Meanwhile the Airborne Ranger is laid out not moving as Shadow Man climbs the turnbuckle and the fans start taking pictures. He claps a few times, stands up and jumps off…

…

… the fans cheer loudly…


CRASH! Shadow Man puts Derek Wellings through the table but also upsets his knee. The crowd begins chanting for both me.

E-W-C!

E-W-C!

E-W-C!

E-W-C!

E-W-C!

Jeremy Piven: We just saw Shadow Man hurt himself, but these fans are loving him for it! That knee is getting worst but I don’t see Derek Wellings getting better!

Joe Aiello: You’re right about that, Jerry. Shadow Man and Derek Wellings are going further than any of their previous encounters and are likely going to break one another.

Derek and Shadow take a few minutes to stir, but the Airborne Ranger is the first to start moving. He grabs the barricade to try sitting up as does Shadow Man. The two men are on their knees and start trading blows back and forth. Sweat flies off Shadow Man as blood flies off Derek Wellings. Eventually Derek gets the upper hand and the two start punching each other onto their feet. Shadow is stunned by one fist and Derek grabs his arm and whips him over to a turnbuckle.

Shadow Man this it hard and Derek jumps up on the barricade slowly walks along it as Shadow Man turns around is hit with a Diving Spear. The two hit the ground hard and as Derek tries to get up, Shadow Man pulls him in and locks in a Guillotine Choke Hold. Painfully, Derek screams as Shadow Man locks in tightly and tries strangling Derek out.

The Airborne Ranger manages to get his hands close enough to Shadow Man’s head and claps on his ears. The blow stuns him a moment and once more Derek cups his hands and claps on Shadow’s ears. He does this repeated until Shadow releases the hold and holds his boxed ears. Derek jumps on Shadow Man’s back and locks in a Rear Naked Choke Hold. He lifts Shadow Man to his feet, knees him in the back, lifts him up and locks in a Torture Rack.

Shadow Man doesn’t give Derek the satisfaction of screaming but does grab the ropes and pulls Derek towards the ring and using his legs slams his back repeated into the ring’s edge. Eventually Derek releases his hold, falls on the ground and reaches under the ring. Shadow Man slowly gets up, trying not to put pressure on his bad knee, and reaches down to grab Derek. The Airborne Ranger turns around and sprays a fire extinguisher in the People’s Champion’s face. Pulling out a table, Derek slides it into the ring and goes in with it. Shadow Man rubs his eyes as Derek sets up the table.

Jeremy Piven: Someone’s about to get some wood!

Joe Aiello: This should be really interesting to see who gets it. Will Shadow Man get wood or will Derek have a second helping?

Grabbing Shadow Man’s head, Derek lifts his opponent up but Shadow Man hits a Low Blow on Derek, then out of nowhere this the GBC! The crowd explodes as Shadow Man manages to hang in there and puts Derek down for the moment. Seeing a ladder nearby, Shadow Man sets it up in the ring and starts climbing.

The cans start cheering loudly as Shadow Man nears the top and touches the title straps. He starts trying to take the title off but Derek Wellings has forced himself to recover. He gets behind his opponent and clips Shadow’s back. He releases the title, looks down and tries kicking him several times.

Derek takes a step up and hits a low blow on Shadow Man. He gasps loudly as Derek climbs up with him and stands on the same steps. One of the ladder’s supports breaks but Derek jumps up, places his knees on Shadow Man’s back and hits a Lungblower from ladder. The fans groan loudly seeing how hard Shadow Man lands on the knee pads of Derek Wellings. The Airborne Ranger is also taken down with the People’s Champion.

Joe Aiello: How much more can these men take? They’re beating each with everything they have and still find a way to keep going.

Jeremy Piven: you know just as well I do that Shadow Man IS the Hardcore Championship but Derek Wellings has also earned his right to defend that title. He’s defeated one of the strongest competitors in the ring in the form of Gabreal Martin at Night of Champions XII while Shadow Man has only had Derek Wellings as a worthy opponent. No offense to the men he’s faced in the past of course.

Joe Aiello: The EWC Hardcore Champion is arguably the most prestigious title in EWC with the EWC Championship. These two are going to do everything and anything they have to be the sole owner.

Shadow Man is the first to move as he leans over the ladder, holding a hammer in his hand, then crawls over to Derek Wellings. As he nears Derek, the Airborne Ranger finds a second wind and starts kicking Shadow Man in the face repeatedly. The People’s Champion tosses his hammer out of the ring on accident as Derek wraps his legs around Shadow Man’s neck and tries to choke him out. As Shadow Man’s face turns red, he decides to bit down on Derek’s leg hard.

The Airborne Ranger yelps loudly and releases Shadow Man and rolls out of the ring as Shadow Man gets breath back. Stumbling over to the crowd, Derek grabs a chair from the audience and slides in the ring as Shadow Man is on his hands and knees. Derek raises the chair up and swings it harshly on Shadow’s back. He takes the blow but doesn’t move an inch, then Derek swings it again and once more Shadow Man no sells it. The fans cheer loudly as Shadow man starts to stand up and “Hulk Out” as Derek beats him with the chair in his back.

Shadow Man stands up and takes a full force blow to the face with the chair, but only enjoys it and screams for second. Happy to oblige him, Derek swings the chair again and smashes him a second time over the face. Shadow Man clenches his face and yells loudly and a third hit succeeds in breaking Shadow Man open but he’s so filled with adrenaline, he doesn’t care. Just Shadow Man swings for Derek’s face with a tightly clenched fist; Derek ducks it, hits his bad knee with the chair and puts Shadow Man on his knee screaming.

Winding back, Derek smashes the chair on his opponent’s face and finally flattens him. He tosses the chair out of the ring, mounts Shadow Man and places on hand on his throat and tries choking him out. But Shadow Man plays opossum and using his good leg, kicks Derek in the face and locks in an armbar. The fans explode in excitement as Shadow Man steals Derek’s thunder.

Jeremy Piven: Leave it to Shadow Man! Which is his new show on NBC, the former EWC Champion finds a way to not only steal his opponent’s thunder but also finds the will to keep fighting through all of his pain.

Joe Aiello: You’re right, Derek Wellings is tough enough to eat his own guts but Shadow Man is crazy enough to ask for seconds. Sadly, The Airborne Ranger is also crazy enough to his own guts and his opponents then ask for seconds. One of these men’s bodies have got to give at some point.

Shadow Man releases the hold knowing that he cannot force Derek to tap out. The Airborne Ranger rolls out of the ring and Shadow Man gets on the ring edge and jumps off landing an Ole Kick on the back of Derek’s head then falls on his chest to avoid hurting his bad knee. Derek lunges forward and hits the barricade but Shadow Man doesn’t relent and he delivers several Forearm Smashes into Derek’s back.

Derek falls on his knees and once more, Shadow Man Face Washes his opponent’s bloody nose across the barricade, lifts him up and hits a Cliffhanger. Derek is laid out on the floor, allowing Shadow Man time ot look under the ring once more and find a mini ladder. He lifts it up and smashes Derek over the ribs several times before placing it on his opponent’s chest, climbs on to the ring’s edge and hits another Moonsault on Derek’s ribs with the ladder in between them.

The two roll in opposite directions with Derek’s hand under the barricade. Shadow Man desperately uses the ring to help him up as Derek forces himself to stand once more with a glass beer bottle in his hand and goes in the ring with Shadow. The People’s Champion hasn’t gotten off his knees before Derek smashes the beer bottle on his head. With the broken bottle still in hand, Derek viciously jabs it into Shadow’s shoulder.

He screams loudly as Derek breaks a shard in his shoulder and drops the bottle on the ground. Grabbing the shard, Derek wiggles it around, rips it out and allows the blood that squirts out to land on his face and in his mouth. The audience groans loudly watching Derek do this a second time in a match.

Jeremy Piven: I see Derek’s enjoying the Blood of Shadow Man tonight.

Joe Aiello: I need the trash can, I think I’m going to be sick.

Shadow Man falls on the ground, grabs the bottle neck and stabs it in Derek’s leg. The Airborne Ranger screams loudly as Shadow Man stands up, scraps Derek’s head and cuts him open with the broken bottle. Just like The Airborne Ranger, Shadow Man also enjoys a quick drink of Derek’s blood.

Joe Aiello: if this doesn’t get us cancelled, nothing will. Now if you excuse me, I got to throw up.

Jeremy Piven: Occupied. Hmph.

The announcer’s dry heave in an empty can as Derek throws Shadow Man over the top rope with a Chokeslam. Rolling outside, Derek sets up Shadow Man on the barricade then goes back in. He sets up the first ladder near the edge and starts climbing. The ladder shakes violently as Derek nears the top and stands at the highest point. He gets ready to jump off when the ladder’s support breaks!

The Airborne Ranger loses his balances and falls on the outside of the ring and violently bashes his head against the barricade while his neck smashes the ground. Derek doesn’t move for a while and this allows Shadow Man time to recover. He stumbles backwards and sees Derek is out on the ground. Looking under the ring one last time, Shadow Man pulls out a 8 foot ladder and slide in the ring with him.

Moving around like a drunk man, Shadow Man sets up the ladder and painstakingly climbs it. Every time he moves his bad knee, he screams but the adrenaline in his veins along with the crowd thunderous cheering makes him continue….



Shadow Man reaches the top rope and plays with the strap, slowly unhinging it…



He looks out to see Derek Welling still isn’t moving and finally pulls the title off!

The referee calls for the bell! The crowd explodes as “Invincible” hits the PA system! And Shadow Man holds the EWC Hardcore Championship high above his head!

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner and SOLE EWC Hardcore Champion: SHADOW MAN!

WINNER AND SOLE HARDCORE CHAMPION: SHADOW MAN

Shadow Man painstakingly climbs down the ladder and collapses on a turnbuckle and sits down. He looks over to the fallen Derek Wellings who hasn’t moved at all in several minutes. The referee checks on Shadow first who insists he’s all right, he leaves the ring ot check on Derek Wellings who hasn’t moved at all. The cameraman gets close and is able to pick up “Get Leon, get Dan… I can’t feel anything.”

The referee makes an X symbol with his hands and the EMT’s rush down as does the fight doctor from ringside. Shadow Man smiles as his music continues playing and he stands up by Derek holding the title. He mocks the Airborne Ranger having won the title but when he sees EMT’s with a stretcher his laughter stops and becomes serious.

Jeremy Piven: This doesn’t look good, Derek Wellings hasn’t moved since that ladder broke on him and his neck violently hit the barricade.

Joe Aiello: Folks, please stick with us. On behalf of the Extreme Wrestling Corporation, I apologize about witnessing what might have been the end of a man’s career. Even Shadow Man is in utter shock that something this bad has happened.

Jeremy Piven: Just goes to prove Shadow Man is a much better man than any of us thought, or at least Blacklist. Even he has compassion for enemies, what a great man Shadow Man is.

Leon and President Mac come down as requested and check on Derek with the fight doctor. Derek is overheard saying he can’t feel anything from his neck down. Leon and the doctor poke Derek several times over his body but each time when asked, he tells them he feels nothing. They put a neck brace on Derek and carefully put him on a stretcher. The fans near him are silent and watch as he is raised up on it and carried out.

The camera follows them to the back stage then into the parking lot. President Mac talks to the doctor quietly as the EMTs load Derek up and shut the door. The ambulance siren sounds off and leaves with a stunned Shadow Man looking at the vehicle as it leaves. However Leon Roberts stands behind him and smirks at him.

Leon Roberts: Hope you feel better, BIG MAN.

Shadow Man turns around to fire back at Leon only to see he’s vanished without a trace as BRAWL cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

RINGSIDE

The fans cheer loudly...

The lights dim down...

"I Stand Alone" plays loudly, sending the fans into a fever pitch! As they stand up and look towards the entrance, crimson red fireworks emit from the stage area!

Aiello: OH WOW... LOOK WHO IS HERE!!! THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS AND NUMBER ONE CONTENDER... XPLODE!!! HE HAS ARRIVED!!!

Piven: This is going to be very interesting. Things have been relatively calm in the EWC as of late. With the influx of new talent, the EWC has hit a stride that we haven't seen in over a year. The arrival of X could very well shake the foundation of this company and send the entire locker room into a tailspin! Tailspin equal ratings though... and that is always a good thing.

Aiello: This place has simply come alive!! Xplode has returned....

The music continues to play as Xplode makes his way to ringside. Dressed in a sharp suit, his hair neatly pulled back into a pony tail, he glances at the fans as they bow in respect. Nodding his head, he walks up the metal stairs and enters the ring, holding his hand out for a microphone. An EWC ring official scrambles to get him the microphone as Xplode smirks. Around him, the arena literally comes alive with camera flashes and screams. Once the microphone is placed in his hand, Xplode turns to the fans.. and speaks.

Xplode: Is anyone else as bored as I am with watching this debacle of a show?!

The fans continue to scream loudly as Xplode smirks. Pacing the ring, he continues to speak.

Xplode: I mean, this is the Brawl product that is supposed to compete with Rampage and FSW?! No wonder it is currently last and licking their boots! I mean, come on.. this is pathetic. That all changes..... NOW!

The fans cheer once more as Xplode loosens his tie.

Xplode: A couple of weeks ago, our snore-fest of a champion came out to the ring and laid a challenge at my feet. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised. I mean, I am thinking that someone must have forgot to inform Tony Savage that he was the champion, right? Champions usually wait to be challenged by lesser talent once they win the strap.. but then again.. I see the reasoning. In the case of Tony Savage versus me... I guess he is the lesser talent. That being said, I accepted that challenge and spent the last three weeks preparing for that night. I have returned to my roots and once again have taken up camp on my home town.. San Francisco, California. I returned to the old school way of training, and I am happy to report.. I have bene given a clean bill of health by my Doctors. What does that mean for the EWC? I will tell you. That means that Savage is about to have a seriously.. bad day.

The fans scream now as Xplode gives them their chance to get into the excitement.

Xplode: You know, the EWC universe and I have never really seen eye to eye. I didn't come out here to kiss all of your asses and make you buy my merchandise, but I guess things must be pretty bad in the industry when we are all on the same page. I aim to fix that. Monday Night Brawl will return to the number one spot, and it will happen on the backs of every damn victim that I drive into this mat... and I will do that as the next EWC Champion. That title belt has belonged to me for a long time now, I earned it ten times over, and it's fitting that my championship reign is to begin at the very event that I was screwed out of it from.. Rumble in the Bronx. Fate has a way of playing-

The fans suddenly cheer now as Ton Savage appears on the stage area! With the EWC Championship proudly slung over his shoulder, he heads down the rampway as he speaks!!

Savage: THIS is how you return the show to greatness?! This is your game plan?! The wise strategist... heads out to the ring to talk about himself for three hours?!! You are still the same old Xplode...

Xplode: You are right.. I am the same old Xplode. Get in this ring and I will prove it to you.

Savage: Do you actually think that I am afraid of you, old man? You obviously haven't been paying attention to what is going on these days in the world. You see, only one man has been kicking ass and taking names.. consecutively.. now.. and that is me. Hell, the only reason that I even agreed step into the ring with you is because I am sick of hearing about how you deserve a championship opportunity! You don't deserve anything.. but I am a fighting champion. So if I were you, I would leave my show and head on back to whatever so called old school gym you have been training at. Every second counts... because in a few weeks.. you are about to face the best in the business.

The crowd rallies behind Savage for a moment... and then they begin to chant "X-PLO-DE..... X-PLO-DE!!!"

Xplode smirks as he looks around him, and then he replies to Savage as Savage enters the ring.

Xplode: You know.. this is different. You really need to question yourself when I become the fan favorite. The thing is, these fans understand this business. They know greatness, and they see a true champion. You may hold that strap, but you never earned it. You see, until you pin me in the ring, you will ALWAYS be nothing more than an interim champion. That won't happen though..

Xplode steps towards Savage and the two of them look at one another eye to eye.

Xplode: Your greasy ass head is going to be bounced against every damn corner of thing ring! Just like the rest of my victims... no one will remember your name once this is all said and done. Do you know how many people have made the claims that you have?! Do you know how many people have actually believed that they could step in the ring with the Destroyer and actually get the job done?! Better men than you have tried.. and all of them have failed. Enjoy your reign.. Champ. It's about to end.

Savage and X drop their microphones and stare one another down. The fans begin to cheer loudly! Then... JTC steps out unto the stage area!!! Both X and Savage glare in his direction as JTC speaks..




JTC: Look at this?! Two of the biggest over rated chumps in this company, in the ring, at the same time. I have to ask... how did a hawk nosed freak and a member of the backstreet boys actually gain a membership in the EWC?! This is a damn joke. The REAL main event around here is me... Jonathon Thomas Cross! It's men like me who have carried this promotion, make no mistake about it. I have no problem saying that to either of you... to YOUR FACES! SO GET OUT OF MY DAMN RING... GREATNESS HAS ARRIVED!!

Xplode laughs as Savage watches JTC. JTC enters the ring and looks at both Savage and then X.

JTC: Savage.. you are no champion. You are an IDIOT! Xplode, you were better off with staying in the front office. Now, the world gets to see how much of a terrible competitor that you truly are!!! NEITHER of you could stand 5 minutes with me. I am THE BEST IN THE WORLD TOD-

The fans cheer loudly as Xplode clotheslines JTC hard.. driving him into the mat instantly! Savage tosses the title belt aside and snags JTC, lifting him up and driving him into the mat with a snap DDT!! The arena is a mad house now!!

Piven: LOOK AT THIS!!! THE CHAMPION AND THE CHALLENGER HAVE FOUND A COMMON FOE!!!

JTC stumbles back to his feet and manages to roll out of the ring, just as Savage and X rush to grab him! JTC walks back up the rampway, pointing in their direction, laughing at the two of them. He shouts at the two men in the ring.

Xplode flips off JTC and orders him to get back into the ring. JTC blows him a kiss in return! Infuriated, Xplode turns around... only to be driven into the mat with a steel chair by Tony Savage!!!

Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!!!! SAVAGE STRUCK THE FIRST BLOW!!!! THE WAR HAS BEGUN!!!

Savage repeatedly pummels Xplode with the chair until it is twisted up sickeningly! Finally, satisfied with the carnage, Savage snags a microphone and places the championship belt in front of Xplode's unconscious face. A stream of blood trickles down the forehead of the Destroyer of Worlds...

Savage: I told you, Old Man. I am not like the other so called victims of yours.. because I will never be one. Never turn your back on me... you will lose every time. This title belt will remain with me, and I will prove to the world that you are nothing more... than an EWC memory. This is MY time...

Xplode remains unconscious as the arena explodes with fan responses! Savage's theme song plays loudly now as he hoists the title belt over his head!!

Aiello: WOW.... there it is. This is going to get worse before it gets better. Savage may have just made a huge mistake. I am Joey Aiello, and this is Jeremy Piven to my side. See you next week....

The feed pans to Savage who is standing triumphantly in the ring. The feed then.. fades out.
