The opening pyros hit and here we go.




The energy in the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Michigan is electrifying.

Spotlights circle around the arena as the thousands of fans in the venue are shown in a wide angle shot. The camera then pans out showing a full scale view of the jam packed arena and zooms in on some crazy fans.

A chant begins of

Fireworks blast across the stage as the fans scream in delight. A thick layer of fog circles the arena, and camera flashes repeatedly strobe the area! It is the beginning of a NEW EWC Season and Monday Night Brawl has begun! The camera feed pans to different areas in the arena and we see fans cheering in excitement!

The fans are shown smiling, laughing, and pumping their fists in excitement as fireworks emit from each corner of the ring! A man kisses his wife, and another holds his child up for a chance at some television exposure as the camera feed pans around the arena! A thick layer of fog surrounds the fans from the firework display.

As the camera pans around the arena once more, it finally comes to a stop at the announcer's booth where Aiello and Piven are shown smiling. The show is live... and the excitement is at a fever pitch!

Aiello: Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to yet another soon to be historic year in the EWC! Season 19 is now upon us after an incredibly successful Season 18. I am Joey Aiello and next to me in my partner in crime.. Jeremy Piven! Hey Jeremy.. it's back to business in 2016!

Piven: Absolutely! It's a new year, and the world is our oyster! May all of our needs to be taken care of... and when I say that... I am referring to you and a shower.

Aiello: Thanks.... I think.

Piven: Tonight, we have a slam dunk of a card for you all. Our superstars are preparing to set the standard for the industry and war will be waged. When we were last on air, it was the largest show in the industry.. Wrestlefest! Can you believe that main event?!

Aiello: Brett Black gave everything he had and came so close to winning the top prize in the industry.. the EWC Championship. Our champion was able to once again overcome the odds.. as Xplode was victorious in the main event. It capped off a historic year for the champion, one that will go down in the books!

Piven: Let's not forget Shadow Man! Not only was he able to bring the EWC World Heavyweight Championship to Brawl! Shadow Man has been reaching for the skies these days, and word has it that he has even challenged Xplode to a match to unify the straps! Imagine that.

Aiello: Xplode denied him the shot though. A champion of Xplode's caliber picks his potential challenges very carefully. I was not surprised by that at all.

Piven: Well, anything is possible in the EWC... and that being said, let's look to the entrance as President Mac heads to the ring, with his annual New Years address!!!

The fans stand up and cheer as "Hail to the Chief" begins to play! Stepping into view is President Mac! A large smile is on his face as he waves to the fans. He receives a thunderous applause! Walking down the rampway and towards the ring, he slaps the outstretched hands before him!

Jessica Stroup: Please welcome.. the EWC President.. PRESIDENT MAC!!

Now at ringside, Mac walks up the metal steps and enters the ring. He offers a quick hug to Jessica Sroup before accepting a microphone. The fans continue to cheer for Mac as he smiles, taken back by the responses.

Finally, the noise quiets down..

President Mac: Wow.. thank you. We just had a hell of a year, didn't we? Last year, we had a civil war. Then our relationship became strained as I had to make some pretty tough choices for the good of the company. Now, it comes full circle. We are here... the EWC Universe... large and back in charge! We have some HUGE plans for you all, as we head into 2016! So let's make some damn noise and get excited!

The fans cheer loudly, shaking the entire arena!

President Mac: Tonight, we are going to have one hell of a show, and I am here to let you all in on my plans for tonight's Main Event.. tonight we will ha...

(Unknown voice) - WAIT.. WAIT... WAIT... YOU CAN'T START THE YEAR WITHOUT A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF TACOS!!!

President Mac laughs as a large taco truck enters from the side of the stage!



Standing on top of the truck is Shadow Man!

The fans literally jump out of their seats as he shoots tacos from out of a taco gun into the crowd!! Salsa slams into various fans' faces but they don't mind at all! The EWC World Championship is proudly around his waist. After a brief show, Shadow Man drops the gun and lands at ringside. He pauses to take a few pictures with fans.

 

Shadow then rolls into the ring to a thunderous applause. He mock shines the title with a clenched fist before smiling at President Mac.

Shadow Man: Hey chief... hungry?

President Mac: As much as I appreciate the love for our fans, this is not the time. I am trying to kick off the new year the right way, and to be...

Shadow Man: Well please... carry on. Don't stop on my behalf. I will just sit down and wait my turn!

President Mac smirks and then speaks once more. Shadow Man leans against the ropes.

President Mac: As I was saying.. tonight we have a-

Shadow Man: (Interrupt) Okay... let's just cut to the meat and beans here! No offense, but the fans in this arena want just one thing from you to start this year off right. Hell, the entire WORLD wants just one thing.... so make it happen, Captain!

President Mac: What would that be?

Shadow Man: This world isn't big enough for two champions... so let's solve that problem. Put me in a match with Xplode and let's unify this baby! I tried to talk to him but you know how he is.. with all that "only wrestling at pay per views" crap-oh-lah that he has..

President Mac: Xplode has an exclusive contract that allows him to wrestle only in events the meet a certain criteria. Also, if I am not mistaken, he has already defeated you. Why would I make that match now?

Shadow Man: I can beat him. The world needs one TRUE World Champion... and you know it. When I faced Xplode last time, I was not at my best, I was um... sort of blind-sided by the taste of betrayal. These days, I am rockin' it, baby! 2015 saw not only the era of X but the resurgence of Shadow Man. Come 2016, you need one man and one man alone standing on the tippity top of the mountain. One Champion. The true Champion. Do it Mac. Do it. 

President Mac: I won't deny that I have pondered the idea of unifying the championships. Still, X would have to sign off on that match, and it would need to be at the next PPV. That would allow-

"I stand alone" by Godsmack begins to play loudly!! The fans stand up and respond even mor eloudly than before as Xplode steps out into view, the EWc Championship slung over his shoulder. Dressed in a dark suit, he heads down the rampway, his face that of determination and anger. Rolling under the bottom rope, he glares at Shadow Man as his music continues to play loudly. He then turns to face the fans and raises the title over his head to a thunderous applause!

The music dies down as X looks over his shoulder.

Xplode: Mac... no. I will not sign on to face Shady again. I have nothing to gain from him.. and he has nothing to offer. That title belt on his shoulder is a fake as far as I am concerned... I would rather offer a shot to a more deserving challenger.

Shadow Man: Jaden.. look. I am going to be straight with you... You got the best of me last time we faced off, and you have my respect for that. I have done it all in my career... all but one thing. I have never defeated you. I have made a damn story book full of chapters on overcoming the odds. Last year alone is proof of that. Plus, the EWC is my home, something I have guarded fiercely for years now. What you have on your shoulder means more to me than it does to you. I want to represent my company the right way... as Undisputed EWC Champion. I can beat you... I know it. You know it... and that is why you refuse to face me. Do the right thing, X. Let's give these people a show... not at the PPV... but TONIGHT! LET'S PUT BOTH TITLES ON THE LINE!!! WINNER TAKE ALL!!

The fans begin to scream in delight!

Xplode: I don't think you understood me.... so let's try this again. You have NOTHING to offer me. I already have it all. Plus , I only fight when there is money to be made. That isn't happening on a weekly show. No dice..

Shadow Man looks at the fans..

Shadow Man: HEY UNIVERSE.... TELL THE PRESIDENT HERE THAT THIS MATCH NEEDS TO HAPPEN... TONIGHT!! WHAT DO YA SAY?!!!

The fans begin to scream and stomp their feet, sending a very clear message!

Xplode: (laughing) Do you really believe that I care what these people want? they bought their damn tickets and they will see a show. That's the only thing that the EWC owes them. They don't deserve to see me step into that ring to be honest. I am the best in this business today, the man who puts the asses in those seats. NO ONE is on my level.. regardless of what the idiots in the locker room tell you. You stopped representing the EWC the very minute that I stepped into this ring. Thanks to me, we are the top rated show in the world! Our stock is the highest in the market, and when I speak.. you can expect the internet to get broken over the excitement that I cause. Don't fool yourself, you are nothing. Just like these fans.. you are here to accept any scraps that I decide to feed you.

President Mac: Actually.. Jaden... no.

The fans begin to scream in approval as Xplode glares at President Mac! Mac clears his throat as the arena literally comes ALIVE!

President Mac: Jaden, you know where my heart is. You and I are like brothers, but the EWC is like my child. My first responsibility is to the good of this company, so I am going to have to disagree with you. When you signed your contract with me, you agreed to work any pay per views, special events, and super shows. Tonight is now sure as hell considered a super show.

Xplode: ....don't do this.

Shadow Man: ..... do it!

President Mac: Shadow Man is right. We do need to start the year off strong. Unifying the championships is something that is long over due. I know this will upset you, but I am changing the card tonight. I am going to sanction a match between you two.. title for title... winner take all... in a new main event! The winner of this match will be known from this night on as the EWC World Heavyweight Champion! Shadow Man vs Xplode... the match is official... tonight!
Tonight, history will be made

The fans cheer in delight as Shadow Man runs around the ring as if he was an airplane! Xplode looks away in disgust.

Xplode: Fine... have it your way. Shady, I suggest you get your affairs in order, remember what happened the last time we squared off too. This time around, I am going to bury your ass into that ring and make sure that you NEVER get up. This title belt is going no where... make no mistake about that. You have just made the worst mistake of your career...

Xplode begins to leave the ring when Shadow Man speaks..

Shadow Man: No... I am pretty sure that the worst mistake I have ever made in my career was putting hot sauce on a taco before a match. Let's just say that wrestling with Mud Butt is no fun...

Xplode: DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS A DAMN JOKE! DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO YOU?!! I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU... SLOWLY... METHODICALLY... WITH FINALITY!

Xplode then looks at President Mac.

Xplode: Danny... this is on you. You are going to carry this on your conscious for a long time. Remember that. Everything that happens to Shadow Man tonight is your making...

"I stand alone" by Godsmack begins to play again! Xplode raises the title and Shadow Man does the same with his in return! The fans are losing their minds in the stands!

Aiello: We... are.. witnessing... history.....

Piven: Tonight... we will have a new Undisputed Champion... oh wow. I can't... this is unbelievable. History is being made before our very eyes and it's all taking place on the VERY FIRST SHOW of the year.

BACKSTAGE

The EWC cameras cut backstage to a jet black stretch Hummer limousine pulling in at the Joe Louis Arena. The driver gets out and hurries to open the door. A moment after he does, Flash Davis hops out of the limo. He looks at the camera and smiles. Laughter is heard from the limousine as Flash goes back to aid model Samantha Mintor out of the limousine.

They head into the arena with the camera following them. Flash stops and turns around and starts talking into the camera with his hand holding the device.

Flash: Hey, Flip. Let me tell you a story. You and I head to a club tonight after the show. When I show up, the door man holds the door open and recognizes Perfection. I go to the bar, have a few drinks in celebration of pinning your shoulders to the mat, and head to the hotel with a few ladies while your still standing in line outside the club hoping the door man feels sorry for you. Get the picture? Someone should make a movie out of it. They ought to call it ‘Losers Standing in the Dark’. Problem with movies and the real thing is the movie tries to make anything less than Perfection look good.

Samantha grabs Flash by the head so he’s looking at her. Flash looks back at the camera and smiles. Samantha turns his head back to her again. Flash does the same thing. A third time and Flash Davis plants a huge five second Frencher on the Easy Rider model and you can hear the fans.

“OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!”

Flash stops kissing her and looks back at the camera and acts like he is tasting his lips from the kiss.

Flash: Perfection with a hint of…nothing else.

BOB GRENIER
Vs COREY X

Piven: We are finally now going to have our first match of the 19th season. All the anticipation, as many have waited to see the premiere and superstars of Monday Night Brawl have anxiously awaited, is now coming to its peak!

Aiello: Twenty-sixteen here we come!

Stroup: The opening match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first—

“Smart Went Crazy” by Atmosphere begins to play over the speakers as Bob Grenier walks out onto the stage and majestically raises his arms into the air.

Stroup: From Porcupine, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 233 pounds and standing 6 feet 2 inches tall. He is Captain Amazing-Bobby G! The Greatest Man Alive! Bob Grrreenier!

Grenier makes his way down the ramp toward the ring. The fans are booing and as he climbs the steel steps slowly to get into the ring taking his time, he stops on the apron. He motions to the referee and the ref comes over and opens the ropes for Grenier to get into the ring. He walks to the center of the ring and again as he did on the stage, raises his arms majestically as those boos get even louder.

Piven: Listen to this reaction. The fans are telling Bob Grenier what they think of him!

Aiello: Not exactly a fan favorite.

Piven: No he is not.

Just as Grenier’s music stops playing, “Light Em Up” by Fallout Boy begins to play as Corey X comes out onto the stage and the fireworks go off.

Stroup: And his opponent, from Richmond, Virginia! Weighing in at 210 pounds and standing 6 feet 4 inches tall! He is The King of Extreme! CORRRREYYYYY XXXXX!!!

The fans cheer as Corey X makes his way to the ring with his eyes set on Bob Grenier. Corey X slaps a few hands of fans as he makes his way around the ring and plays to the cheers before he climbs the steel steps walks to the middle of the apron and turns to the fans. He raises his fist into the air and then turns around and uses the ropes to spring over the top rope into the ring.

Piven: Corey X, if you recall, defeated Grime and ended Grime’s wrestling career. But, it was Flash Davis who came out with Grime’s late mentor Mark Simmons. Grime was left unable to kick out after a series of chair shots.

Aiello: Corey X would love to say that he did it alone, but he can’t. It was Flash Davis and Mark Simmons who forced the reluctant Corey X to make the cover and now…no more Grime.

Piven: You have to hand it to Corey, though. He took the fight to Grime at Wrestle Fest.

Aiello: He sure did. It was great to see that kind of fire come from Corey X. Let’s see if Corey X brings that fire to the 19th season of EWC.

The referee gets the attention of both men and then calls for the bell to start the match.

Aiello: And here we go.

Corey and Grenier start circling as they look for an opening and just as they are about to come to collar and elbow tie up, Bob Grenier backs away and raising his arms majestically as he tries to get into Corey’s head.

Piven: Oh here comes the show boating and this match really hasn’t even come to a single blow.

The crowd boos at this and after Grenier is done taunting, he and Corey go back to circling one again before Grenier does the same thing again.

Aiello: Oh come on! He’s stalling!

Corey X doesn’t take this lightly and kicks Grenier in the mid-section and puts Grenier into a side headlock. He holds it for a moment in the center of the ring before Grenier presses Corey X to the ropes and shoves him off. Corey bounces off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Grenier goes down forcing Corey to leap over and bounce off the other ropes. Grenier leaps frogs him the second time.

Piven: The agility of Bob Grenier!

As Corey bounces off the ropes again, Grenier goes for a hip toss, but Corey hops through it and gives Grenier a hip toss of his own.

Piven: Reversed. Corey X with a nice counter there.

Aiello: Corey X isn’t without his flare

Corey X mocks Grenier by raising his arms in the air majestically.

Piven: Now that’s sending a message to Bob Grenier that he will not succumb to the mind games in the ring.

Grenier gets to his feet after holding the middle rope and his back for a moment from the hip toss and the two lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Grenier gives Corey a hard knee lift and then does it again before pressing Corey X back into the corner. He holds Corey there for a moment until the ref comes in to break it and as the ref is doing so, Grenier smacks Corey across the face. The ref gives him a warning and then tries to hold off an angry Corey X with no luck. Corey charges Grenier and hits him with a spear and then mounts Grenier as the fists come crashing down on Grenier. The ref taps Corey on the shoulder and tries to get him to stop from closed hand strikes and finally after a count of 4 Corey gets off Grenier. A split second later, Corey grabs Grenier around the head to pull him up off the mat.

Aiello: Yes. Corey X has definitely brought the fire he ended with at Wrestle Fest here against Bob Grenier.

Piven: This is a calculating type of way to start this match. Not really Corey’s style, but he’s adapting to well.

Aiello: Corey with a scoop slam and a quick cover!

NO!

Aiello: And Bob Grenier kicks out. Too soon to put Bob Grenier away here.

Piven: Corey X trying to score an early pinfall there and I bet that’s to tell Grenier that he’s not messing around.

Corey X quickly gets to his feet and starts to pull Grenier up by the head again, but as Grenier gets to his feet he hits Corey X with a knife edge chop

Aiello: Oh! Grenier fighting back here!

Piven: Those knife edge chops are nothing nice.

Corey X takes a couple more and then Grenier pushes Corey X into the ropes and then whips him across the ring.

Piven: Irish whip.

Grenier catches Corey in his clutches and performs an over the head belly to belly suplex. Corey hits the mat hard.

Aiello: And here comes the suplex expertise of Bobby G, Bob Greiner, 

Grenier gets up and goes over to Corey. He picks him up around the waist and gives Corey and German Suplex. He holds onto it, lifts Corey X back to his feet, releases only for a moment to grab Corey X’s arm and lifts him with a pump handle back suplex.

Piven: That back has to be hurting now. Grenier is on the attack and this is downright scary.

Aiello: Bob Grenier is at the top of the heap when it comes to his suplexes.

Bob Grenier gets to his feet and again lifts his arms majestically as he taunts Corey. The crowd is cheering for another suplex and Grenier nods his head and indeed goes to give Corey another.

Piven: Snap suplex!

Grenier isn’t finished as he does another snap suplex without letting go of Corey X. He rolls through the suplex and covers Corey.

Piven: The cover!

NO!!

Aiello: No Corey X kicks out.

Grenier looks frustrated, but he doesn’t waste time and puts Corey X into a sleeper. Corey is fighting to get out of it. But, the hold is locked in tight. Corey’s arms start to slow before they begin to drop to the mat.

The ref checks Corey and then lifts his arm. It drops once. He does this again. Corey’s arm drops. The ref does this again and just as the arm is about to hit the mat, Corey stops it. He raises his arm and starts shaking it to get the fans behind him.

Corey starts fighting his way to his feet. Getting to his feet, Corey gives Grenier three rapid elbows to the mid-section and then breaks free of the hold.

Piven: Corey still has some fight left in him.

Corey runs to the ropes, he bounces off and hits Grenier with a flying spinning leg lariat. Grenier goes down. Corey gets back up. Grenier struggles to his feet, using the ropes to pull him up. Corey grabs Grenier by the back of the head and hits a neck breaker.

Piven: Corey X is coming back!

Aiello: Corey X with a nice neck breaker there. He looks like he wants to fly!

Corey climbs to the top rope and doesn’t waste any time before leaping off.

Piven: Elbow drop off the top rope to the torso of Bob Grenier! Corey has that look in his eyes! We might see it!

Corey: Cannonball!

Corey lifts Grenier to his feet and irish whips him into the corner hard. The impact sends Grenier stumbling out of the corner and Corey hits him with a European uppercut. Grenier hits the turnbuckle pads and drops to a seated position.

Piven: Here it comes!

Aiello: Corey X with Grenier in position!

Corey goes to the opposite corner, charges and flips so his back smashes Grenier’s head between his own back and middle turnbuckle pad. Corey quickly pops to his feet as Grenier slumps to the side slow and lays there prone in the corner.

Aiello: That could do it. Corey X could have this match won and he could be onto a winning streak.

Piven: Corey is on a roll

Corey waits only a few moments to collect himself and then grabs the arm and leg of Grenier to pull the man away from the ropes. He then grabs the other leg so he has both legs in his control and steps through.

Aiello: Here it comes! Sharpshooter! Can he get it? Can Corey X lock it and turn Grenier over? Will Bob Grenier submit?

Corey does lock the legs, he turns Grenier over and applies pressure as he sinks down further and further for more torque on the hold.

Piven: Yes! Bob Grenier is tapping he just tapped! The referee is calling for the bell! This one is over and Corey X starts Monday Night Brawl in 2016 off with a huge win against Bob Grenier!

Stroup: Ladies and gentlemen, winner by submission! The King of Extreme! COREYYYY X!!!

“Light Em Up” by Fallout Boy starts to play as the fans start to cheer and Corey X lets go of Grenier and raises his arms in victory. The ref comes over and grabs Corey’s arm and hold it up as Corey X starts to celebrate.

Piven: What a win here for Corey X!

Aiello: He never gave up, [place name here].

Corey X gets up onto the middle rope and raises his arms with his fists closed breathing heavily from the hard fought match and he drops down from the middle rope and looks over at Bob Grenier who is slowly rolling out of the ring and Corey X exits the ring and heads back up the ramp with his arms still raised.

BACKSTAGE

The scene returns as we see Shadow Man in the locker room, stretching and flexing in front of a picture of actor Will Ferrell.

Jumping in place, he smiles as he glances at the World Heavyweight title that sits on a nearby chair. The door swings open nearby and in walks EWC reporter.. Ace Heart! Shaking his hand, Shadow Man offers a taco to the reporter from out of his gym bag.

The reporter looks disgusted as he refuses the taco. Shadow Man shrugs as Ace Heart speaks:

Ace: Shadow Man.. I am here to interview you tonight, but first I need to ask you something.. off record.

Shadow Man: Oh? Absolutely, my friend! Feel free! I am an open book!

Ace looks visibly concerned as he leans in to Shadow Man with a soft smile.

Ace: I have nothing but respect for you, Shady. You know that. We have been through a lot together, you and I. I have to ask you though.. why now? Why like this? Just like I have with you.. I have watched Xplode as he has grown into the man that he is today. He is different than you and I. We are here for the love of the sport and the fans. We believe in fair play and doing things the right way. We believe in tomorrow.... Xplode doesn't. He plays for keeps. That man has absolutely destroyed some of the biggest names in the industry. Why not just enjoy your new title reign and steer clear of him? You are a legend in this industry. You have nothing to prove..

Shadow Man: You are wrong, bud. I have everything to prove. I NEED to beat Xplode, not just for myself but for everyone in this industry. Sure, he is tough as nails! He probably would punt a baby kitten into a burning building with no remorse! The thing is, if men like us always stepped aside for people like him, where would this world be? THINK ABOUT THE TACOS!!!

Ace: Shady... seriously. Be real for a moment.

Shadow Man: Alright.. alright. The truth is, if I can't beat X, then I have no business continuing with my career any longer. What more do I have to prove? How much can one body take before it completely shuts down? I won't deny it, I have more scars then skin at this point. I have had one hell of a career in the EWC, and the thought of it ending without being able to say that I defeated probably the biggest name that the industry has ever seen.. besides mine... is crazy to me. I have to defeat Xplode. It isn't a choice. I don't deserve that strap if I don't. For a year we have had to stand by and listen to Xplode as he has disrespected the entire history of this company! I love the EWC.. and I won't stand by and allow it to happen any longer.

Ace smiles.

Ace: You truly are one of the greats, Shady. Just be careful out there. You can't go at Xplode like you have the others. He is a killer. Play smart... play defensively. I will be rooting for you.

Shadow Man: Good! Thank you.

Ace: What's with the Will Ferrell poster though? (Laughing) Seems kind of odd.




Shadow Man: Will Ferrell is my idol, man! Well... after Ryan Reynolds that is. You see, Will faces every challenge like he is incapable to understanding life at all! He never worries about a thing, and he feels no fear. He faces life in his way... and remembers to laugh along the way. I can see the smarts behind that.

Ace nods his head.

Ace: Good stuff.... let's get this interview going.

The scene fades out..

RINGSIDE

The crowd was quiet when over the speakers come blasting was Jessie J “Masterpiece”. They look up the ramp wondering who it was as the crowd was on their feet. It was Lizzette Morgan she stood up at the ramp taking in the crowd reaction for a bit. Lizzette Morgan was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a dressy shirt on that was showing off her best asset her curves. She just smirks a bit as she walked down the ramp.

Joe Aiello Why is she out here!

Jeremy Piven I don’t know why but she need to be out here a bit more. Just look at that body!

The crowd was in shocked to see her as she walk down the ramp alone to the music. She play to the fans a bit as she was walking down the ramp. She climb inside of the ring as she waves a bit towards the fan once more. Lizzette walks over to the side of the ring grabbing a microphone from the person outside of the ring. She stood there looking over at the crowd with a grin on her face.

Lizzette Morgan: I know many of your guys don’t know who I am. There are a few that does. I am Lizzette Morgan. I am a owner of clubs around the world but not only that but also a CEO of a company that was run by my father. So you can say I am very.. very rich young woman. Tara Michaels believe she is something but she hasn’t met me. Tara Michaels has nothing compare to me.

She just grins a bit as she walks a bit around inside of the ring. She took in the crowd reaction towards her.

Lizzette Morgan: Many of you have seen me around here at ringside or even backstage a bit. I have a connection with two people in the back. One person is Metal Black.

Joe Aiello: Just the mention of Metal Black placed this crowd in a uproar!

Jeremy Piven: Don’t know why she have to mention that woman!

The crowd start to chant Metal Black name like crazy as she just nods with agreement.

Lizzette Morgan: Yes, Metal Black had a great year last year and she will have one this year. Metal Black walked inside of this ring and let all the men and women on notice! They need to be on watch because women wrestlers of today isn’t like ones from the old days. They don’t just stand at ringside as valets for the men in the back. They get inside of this ring and truly place on a great show. They get inside of this ring and place on matches that the men in the back wish they could do. Everyone know that woman there will become the new EWC Champion this year! Mark my words!

The crowd start to chant.

Crowd: Metal Black... clap clap EWC Champion. Clap clap

Once the crowd slowly come down as she looks around the crowd with a grin.

Lizzette Morgan: I totally agree with everyone out there among this fans about that but there is someone who is just as good. Someone who is just as great that have done something great for this company. The woman name is Ruthless fucking Aggression!”

The crowd is even cheering louder now at the mention of her name.

Crowd: Ruthless Aggression Clap clap... Ruthless Aggression clap clap!

She waited for them to calm down a bit as she just grin.

Lizzette Morgan: She is a person who walked inside of this company when it open. She walked inside of a battle royal not thinking she was going to win it. She won it but move on to a I Quit match against one of the best of this company Kurt Newman. She made him her bitch in that match and when down on the road to become the first woman of EWC to bear the EWC Champion title around her waist. Even thought she lost that title a few months down the road. She have stepped inside of this ring time after time not complanint one bit about anything! Time after time she walk down this ramp for the fans because of her love for this business! For the love of this sport to place on some great matches for everyone out there!

She place some of her hair behind her ear.

Lizzette Morgan: Before Roddy Piper passed away he have given me the rights of been Jason Park Hunter manager but not only his but also Ruthless fucking Aggression! In the biggest event of last year I watched as my client... watched as my sister in law.. watched one of the best talent made the choice to walk away from something she loved. She passed the torch towards the women in the back to keep doing what she have done in her little amount of time with the company. I am out here to tell those women in the back! I am out here to place EVER last person on notice.

She looked right out at the fans as she looks very serious.

Lizzette Morgan: Deep down in my heart! Deep down I couldn’t do go along with what Ruthless Aggression have told to EVERYONE out here and also in the office of EWC. Roddy Piper told me if I feel ANYTIME that Ruthless Aggression might be doing something dumb. I have all the right as her manager to step in. So I am stepping in! I am here to make a blockbuster of an announcement on one of the best damn show in history. RUTHLESS AGGRESSION WILL BE ACTIVE WRESTLER THIS YEAR AT EWC!

Jeremy Piven: WHAT THE HELL!

Crowd: Ruthless Aggression Clap clap... Ruthless Aggression clap clap!

Lizzette nods as she looks very serious as she spoke some more pointing her finger down towards the ring.

Lizzette Morgan: Ruthless! Can you hear them?! Ruthless these people do not want to see you leave this company. Your time isn’t up yet! You have to do three things before you offical leave and I be damn as your manager I have to make it happen. One of them I believe will happen. One of them even thought deep down you don’t want it to happen NEED to happen. You and X need to have a one on one match!

Jeremy Piven: OH shit!

Lizzette Morgan: It a match that EVERY last person want to see to happen. It a match you own to X! I remember your two talking about if one of your guys made the choice to truly be finish with EWC that X will be the one to make sure you get send out the right way. I understand he is your husband! I understand he is the love of your life but it a match that need to happen. It a match that EVERY last person around here want to see. I know right now Tara Michaels just hearing that thought is making her wheels turn. So Tara Michaels push for it to happen.

Lizzette place some more of her hair behind her ear as she nods a bit more.

Lizzette Morgan: The second match that need to happen is Metal Black vs Ruthless Aggression. A match that will dertermined who is truly the Queen of EWC . Many people in the back have their view on this. Many people in the back believe this will be a match that will keep everyone talking. Everyone in the back know this match will be the match of the year for 2016! IT a match you NEED to have! The last match that need to happen for you Ruthless Aggression is You vs Shadow Man for the HARDCORE TITLE! You need to have that hardcore around your waist!

Joe Aiello: HOLY SHIT! Shadow Man seems to have a giant target on his back this year

The crowd was cheering like crazy as Lizzette just grin.

Lizzette Morgan: Beside Shadow Man, you have shown the loved towards the fans no matter what. You have been in blood bathes and it is time to show why people in Japan ... given you the nick name Dark Angel...The Queen of Hardcore. They didn’t given you that name just to give it out. No! You gotten that name because of the sick... twisted things you can do inside of that ring with weapons, chairs and anything else you get in your hand. Shadow Man just like his best friend will become your bitch!

Jeremy Piven: Damn!

Lizzette Morgan: If everyone believe that Shadow Man is the best Hardcore wrestler! You haven’t seen anything yet.

Lizzette Morgan drop the microphone as she turn around looking up at the ramp as Masterpiece was blasting over the speaker standing there was Ruthless Aggression looking a bit upset. Lizette Morgan just grining from ear to ear as the crowd was chanting for Ruthless Aggression.

FLASH DAVIS
Vs KING FLIP (C)

K-I-N-G F-L-I-P soars from right to left across the tron, followed closely by a big pop pyrotechnic. The opening tune of 'Obnoxious' begins to slowly fill the arena. M-I-S-T-E-R I-N-T-E-R-N-A-T-I-O-N-A-L soars right to left soon after, followed by an even bigger pyrotechnic.

Jessica Stroup: From Malibu, California - weighing in a two hundred and twenty pounds.. he is the NJFC FIGHTING JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND THE EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION.. Mr International.. KINGGG FLIPPPP!

As Immortal Technique spits the first verse, King Flip walks through the curtain lip-syncing with his arms extended and his International and GPC FIGHTING Junior Heavyweight Championships both buckled to his waist. Fans get loud for their favorite asshole. He goads them to get louder as he walks down the aisle.

Aiello: One of the most talented wrestlers of his generation, King Flip, had quite the year in two thousand and fifteen and I'm sure he'll be hoping for bigger, and better things to come this year.

Piven: The Cold Hearted King isn't going to have it easy here tonight; he's up against the debutant who goes by the name of Flash Davies! We saw a glimpse of Flash Davies at Wrestlefest and boy did he look like the full package. Let's see if our International champ can live up to the hype!!

The King walks up the steel steps and hops to the second turnbuckle and taunts the 'Double F' hand symbols. He then enters the ring after handing his belts off to a royally attired ring official.

The lights go dim with a blue hue as ‘Tormented' by Tech N9ne begins to play over the speakers. Over the EWC big screen you see Flash Davis with a bunch of women in bikini's and in blue and pink font 'Flash Davis' slowly slides across the screen. Then you hear over the speakers:

"One for the devil..."

"Two for my God..."

"Father please forgive while I rock this broad!"

The lights start flashing along with the beat as you see Flash Davis walk out onto the stage wearing his blue and black vinyl robe with the hood over his head. And, the music stops playing as he stands on the stage waiting. The lights all come back on as he stands there with his head bowed.

Stroup: Making his way to the ring, from the Flash Enterprise Estate in Las Vegas, Nevada! Weighing 225 pounds and standing at an even 6 feet tall! He is FLAAAASSSHHHHH!!! DAAAAVIISSSSSSS!!!

As Jessica Stroup finishes announcing him, the lights go back to flashing with the beat of 'Tormented' by Tech N9ne. The screen behind Flash Davis starts reading the beginning lyrics as Flash continues to stand there.

"Tormented!"

Flash Davis removes the hood from his head and begins walking down to the ring as Mark Simmons comes up behind him to follow him to the ring. As he walks to the ring, he begins to take off the robe. Before he reaches the ringside floor he hands the robe to a lady and gives her a big kiss on the lips.

Piven: Young, handsome, confident - over ten years younger than our champ here King Flip, Flash Davies is looking to impress here tonight!!

Aiello: Only twenty years of age!! From what we saw at Wrestlefest, he looks like quite the talent. 

He looks at the ring and in a high leap jumps up onto the apron and in one smooth motion does a front handspring into the ring using the top rope. He goes to all four turnbuckles and hops up on the middle turnbuckle raising his arms to the fans to rile them up and on the fourth he puts his hands behind his head and slowly rolls his hips for the ladies. As the music stops he hops off the middle rope and turns around to walk toward the center of the ring where he waits for the match to start.

DING DING DING

The bell sounds and immediately the two lock horns in the center of the ring, the experienced King Flip manages to force Flash Davies back against the turnbuckle, as the referee rushes over to separate the two men. Flip releases his hold and as the ref pushes him back he throws a cheap shot at Davies, who holds onto his cheek whilst the audience gasp. Davies, now angry, charges at King Flip, who detects this despite having his back towards Davies. Flip hits the mat as quick as possible, attempting to trip up the angry Davies, who jumps over his body and over to the ropes. Davies bounces off of the ropes and runs towards King Flip, the International champ managing to leap frog over Davies. Davies rebounds off of the ropes again but this time doesn't conform to falling under any of Flip's traps, this time he ducks under the clothesline, before quickly turning the champion around, delivering a few stiff forearm shots. He then grabs him by the arm, looking for an Irish whip, which he half heartedly does, not completely, as he now pulls Flip back and performs a hurricanrana! Applauds echo through the arena as Davies gets back up onto his feet.

Aiello: Impressive pullback hurricanrana from Flash Davies there!!

Piven: Flip doesn't know what hit em! 

The champ is by the turnbuckle now, using the ropes nearby to help himself up. Davies is in no hesitation to continue his assault, rushing over to Flip and grabbing him by his head. Flip throws his arms up wildly, stunning Davies, before delivering a few hits of his own variating styles of kicks as he forces Davies to the corner of the ring. Davies catches the leg of King Flip, who stumbles a little, but then manages to perform a wicked enziguri kick on the BRAWL débutante, who falls back on his ass. Davies immediately gets back up onto his feet but is met by a vicious drop kick by King Flip. Once again Flash is back up on his feet and manages to counter, ducking a clothesline attempt from the champ as he runs to the ropes. He rebounds off of them and comes back to the direction of Flip, who kicks him in the stomach as he approaches. The king then straightens him up and prepares Davies for a belly to belly suplex!!

Aiello: Flip has gone for the pin!!

Piven: Kickout by Flash!

REPLAY BOARD

 

Flip runs his fingers through his hair and picks Flash up, throwing him over to the turnbuckle. Flip approaches Flash who is groggily walking out of the corner, so it seems. Suddenly Flash has some sort of second wind that motivates him to drive at Flip, taking down with a hard clothesline. Flash then picks him up before delivering a neckbreaker which sends chills down the spines of those in attendance. Flash gets back up once again and roars to the audience, showing off his pecks as he flexes, winking at the camera before returning to the action. 

The champ is back on his feet, struggling to stay up; as Flash runs over to him and attempts a big boot to the chest. Flip declines, moving out of the way just in time. The king is now running towards the ropes with Flash stalking him, Flip manages to springboard off of the ropes and turn back towards Flash, smashing his down with a springboard crossbody. The king smirks as he gets back up onto his feet, knowing momentum is on his favor as he waits for Flash to also return to his feet. The king rushes over to flash, attempting to stun Flash with a forearm shot, Flash blocks it, delivering one of his own. Flash now swings his leg at Flip, who ducks under the roundhouse kick attempt from Flash, and attempts to sweep Flash off of his feet, using his legs to try trip him over, Flash jumps over it.

The two then go through a series of exchanges; numerous shots blocked, numerous ducks and jumps. Flash the runs to the ropes and on his return manages to shoulder barge the champion to the mat. He looks around before looking back down on Flip, seeing this as an opportunity to run to the ropes again. He does so, and Flip is quickly back up on his feet, leaping from where he is to a position closer to Flash who is rebounding off of the ropes, having to jump over Flip who attempts to trip him up. Flash then rebounds off of the opposite ropes and rolls under the arm of King Flip, getting up quickly as he journeys to the ropes once again with Flip stalking him. He springboards off of the ropes and performs a moonsault on the standing King Flip, as the two come tumbling down the audience applaud in appreciation of the action. 

Aiello: Very, very fast from these two here! Two of the quickest in the roster!

Piven: Very impressive showing by both of these men so far tonight. I can't call which way this one is going to go tonight Joey.

Flash is the first up and embraces the love from the audience, taking a bow and blowing a kiss to a group of women with front row seats, going over to the ropes quickly to show off his biceps and triceps. He then goes to where Flip is, who is situated in the corner of the ring resting on the turnbuckle; Flash mounts on top of him, climbing onto the second rope. He then begins to pound as the audience count with him.

ONE,
TWO,
THREE,
FOUR,
FIVE,
SIX,
SEVEN,
EIGHT,
NINE,
TEN!

Ten lethal punches by Flash Davies, who the jumps off of the second ropes and watches the champ stumble out to the center of the ring. Flash then runs to the ropes and rebounds off of them, running towards Flip and performs a running cross-body executed with so much precision that the audience applaud. He then goes for the pin.

Piven: Shoulders up by the cold hearted king!

Davies buries his face in his hands, exhaling heavily as he gets back up onto his feet. Flip is crawling towards the ropes, using them as a way to help himself back up onto his feet. Leaning against them, he turns towards Davies, who looks at the audience and smirks almost arrogantly. Davies then charges towards Flip at full velocity. Flip manages to latch onto the top rope, and pull it down, which sends Davies flying over the top rope and out of the ring. 

Aiello: Smart move by the EWC International Champion! I think we all know what's coming next!!

The cold hearted king looks at the audience and toys with them, smirking as he points towards Davies who is outside the ring gradually getting back up. Flip then runs to the ropes and rebounds off of them, running towards the opposite ropes..

Aiello: Big move by King Flip here who's managed to propel himself over the top rope and to the outside, landing on Flash Davies!!

Piven: Let's take a look at that again!

REPLAY BOARD

BRAWL CROWD:

THIS IS AWESOME

CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP

THIS IS AWESOME

CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP

THIS IS AWESOME

Flip looks around the arena and smirks, appreciating the adoration from the audience as he picks Flash Davies up and rolls him into the ring. Flip jumps onto the apron and heads to the top rope, where he positions himself and looks at Flip, who is beginning to make it back up onto his feet. Flip then begins to stand as Flash now begins to turn around and face Flip. Flip jumps off of the top rope.. and FLASH CATCHES HIM! Flip attempted a cross-body from the top rope but Flash has somehow managed to catch him. Flash scoops him down to the mat before picking him back up very quickly!! He's in behind him!!

Piven: AND FLASH DELIVERS A PUNISHING GERMAN SUPLEX!!

The audience go wild. 

Aiello: It's not over yet! HE'S GOING FOR ANOTHER ONE!!

The arena is absolutely shaking right now!!

Piven: OH GOD NO! HE'S NOT GOING TO DO IT AGAIN IS HE?!

Aiello: OH YES HE IS! FLASH DAVIES WITH THE THREE AMIGOS!

Aiello: KICKOUT BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Piven: Let's take a look at those three German suplexes again!!

REPLAY BOARD

Flash Davies raises his head in disbelief! The International champion is still in this one! Flash Davies is struggling not to smile, he thought he had the International champion beat. He smirks and turns towards Flip who is by the ropes. Flash grabs Flip and throws him through the ropes, so that the body of Flip is half in the ring, half out. Flash then looks at the audience and winks, licking his hand in a kinky manner before spanking the King on the ass!! 

Aiello: Flash just spanked our International champion!

Piven: He calls that the Flash Spanky Doo Da. 

Flash then backs away and prepares to deliver the Flash Daze! With one hand Flip is holding on his ass and with his other latching onto the rope, in obvious pain. Flash continues to prepare himself but Flip doesn't look like he's going to turn around any time soon. As soon as Flash breaks position and storms over to Flip, Flip lets go of the rope and backs away from them, suddenly going from 0 to 100 as he performs a Pele Kick out of nowhere on Flash Davies, otherwise known as:

Aiello: KING FLIP WITH THE CROWNING MOMENT!!

Flash is completely dazed and is just about to fall onto the canvas but Flip quick grabs him, spins him around as he now positions flash in his finishing maneuver, The Cure! The Cold Hearted King manages to connect with The Cure, sending applauds echoing through the arena as he then mounts on top of him.

Flip slides out of the ring as quick as possible, running over to his beloved championship belts as he stumbles before them, kissing them both before holding both the EWC International Championship and GPC Fighting Junior Heavyweight Championship high above his head, escaping through the audience.

Winner: King Flip

BACKSTAGE

Once all of the kerfuffle from the Davis-Flip bout settles down, the scene is directed to somewhere backstage, where a wall of the undead means one thing: The Endless Walk have survived into 2016! Missing from the scene are the good Nurse, the surly patriarch, and the dutiful manservant. The masked man from WrestleFest XIII stands to the left of... Brenda Vixen stands to the right of...

Living! Dead! Karl!

"Tonight, the so-called legend of Cage has the final page printed and set the fuck on fire! Shawn, you ain't shit, and you're goin' up against the shit, so what chance you got? And nah, I ain't bringin' my whole posse with me, just this brick house here, cuz she's mighty mighty, and she's gonna let your internal organs all hang out! I told all y'all motherfuckers that The Year of the Zombie meant zero fucks given or received! I'm goin' out there in a few seconds to kill your career and ship the remnants to your girl Shelley! I wonder if she'll notice the hand grenade inside she just triggered though! Boom, Shawn, boom. Two birds with one hand grenade, and they're both chickens! Fuck outta here!"

And with that, LDK heads off. Brenda looks into the camera, looking into your very souls!

"No more tears Shelley. Shawn won't hurt you again. Charles on the other hand..."

She smirks ever so slightly, then follows after LDK. The remaining goons, save the mystery masked man, sway and moan at the departure of their creator.

Back at ringside, Aiello and Piven are seen looking incredulously.

Aiello: This is the year that maniac kills us, Piven.

Piven: But I thought he wasn't really a zombie, Joey!

Aiello: I think he's capable of anything, zombie or not!

Piven: Zombie.

BACKSTAGE

The cameras cut to the backstage area after returning from commercial. King Flip pops up from below the camera wearing a... well... it's hard to explain. It's all very khaki with tons of pockets with trinkets and doodads almost spilling out. He gives a great big grin as he looks into the viewfinder.

"G'DAY, MATE! Keeng Fleep here and, on this eepisewde of Mondee Noight Bruhwl we're gunna foind ourseelves a teeg pahtnuh! They're ever elusive in this bees'niss, but I think that if we look in the roight spot that we won't have eeny prublums whatsoeevah. C'mon, let's go!"

The very terrible Australian accent tells the viewers that this is some sort of Steve Irwin spoof as he begins to take a low stance and hop around, looking in every possible direction. He turns over the tablecloth and looks disheartened when he doesn't find a 'teeg pahtnuh' under the table. He glares at some road agents and other backstage personnel but they don't fit the bill either. A huge smile crosses his face as he sees United States Champion Metal Black walking into the ladies' restroom, but is immediately put off when he approaches the door some five seconds later by some very audible farts. He waves his hand in front of his nose, shakes his head, and moves on.

"Loike I seed earlier, a good teeg pahtnuh can be a very tree-key thing t'foind. But I think thet--"

He's cut off by the sound of a faint scream coming from behind a door he'd just passed. The camera keeps moving on, not realizing Flip had stopped. It takes only a second for the cameraman to shuffle back over to an excited Flip in front of a door labeled 'Boiler Room' with hands rubbing together. He opens the door and ushers the cameraman to follow. They walk down a long flight of stairs to the increasing volume of a man screaming between whirring and drilling sounds. Flip stops and the bottom and turns around with a whispered tone.

"What I theenk we may foind he-yuh is a cleesic metch for a goi loike me. Leet's foind out."

Flip approaches cautiously. The camera shows a very well dressed man having his teeth worked on by someone in a lab coat. Someone with a very very red head of hair. Unnaturally red. Flip waits for a pause in the screaming and the drilling.

"Excuse me, miss... lookin' for a tagger?"

It takes Harlow Kinsley a moment to realize she's being spoken to. She hazards a glance past her shoulder, spies Flip and the cameraman in her peripheral... and abruptly slams the heavy part of her power drill into her tied down "patient", rendering him unconscious. Kinsley spins right around, shuffling slightly to be in front of the whole incident. Just like it never happened and you saw nothing at all!

"Whooo, me?

In a tag team?

With YOU?"

She plays coy, one finger nervously poking at her mask. The other hand is still waving around a power drill, so the act isn't very convincing.

"I just don't know, Flip, it's all so sudden! Am I ready for that kind of commitment? What will the neighbors say?!"

She throws her hands into the air, and with it, the power drill. It goes hurdling overhead and slams into the back wall before hitting the floor with a loud clatter. She abruptly leans in very close to King Flip, one eye wide, as if she's going to interrogate him.

"Can I still be in the Walk?"

--Flip opens his mouth to reply, and doesn't get past half a syllable before Kinsley cuts him off--

"Then it's settled! King Flip and Harlow Kinsley, tag team partners! We'll be just like the Fabulous Freebirds, or the Steiner Brothers, or Los Villanos!"

Flip turns toward the camera, and Kinsley throws one arm around his shoulders. His brow furrows as he mouths something silently, his fingers moving, as though he's doing math in his head. After a second or so, he aims that confused expression toward Nurse Kinsley.

"Wait, we're not like any of those teams you just menti--"

"--Flip," she cuts him off, "as my new tag team partner I feel like I can let you in my greatest secret. ...I'm not really a dentist and we should probably leave."

He slowly looks away, a hint of regret looming on the horizon as he lets out an exasperated sigh. The scene cuts away as Flip and Kinsley march their way out of the boiler room and off camera, leaving behind a very unconscious man in a suit, still tied to a chair. Oh, and a power drill on the floor.

LIVING DEAD KARL
Vs SHAWN CAGE

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall…

Mist begins to develop and makes its way throughout the arena, remaining at lower altitudes. This eerie scene is augmented with the dimming of the lights, all of which are accompanied by L7's "Pretend We're Dead". At about 15 seconds into the song, a form manifests itself from the once-obscuring fog as if having risen from the ground itself.

Jessica Stroup: Introducing first from Congdon Castle, Yakima, Washington State, weighing in at 255 pounds… “Perfect Charles”… Living Dead… KARL!!!!!

At about the 35-second mark, Living Dead Karl shambles into view looking all around at all the tender morsels booing and jeering him. Brenda Vixen emerges right afterwards, walking alongside The Putrid Pugilist. They then continue the short trek to the ring, bathed in fog and a chorus of boos. Brenda circles the outskirts of the ring while LDK storms to inside the ring, making a beeline to the corner turnbuckle, which he climbs halfway up. He then looks on into the crowd, raises his arms in the air, and unleashes a primordial roar that would jar all but the bravest of souls.

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent…

"Fifty Shades” By Digital Summer 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.


Jessica Stroup: From Montreal, Quebec, Canada… Weighing in at 231 pounds…


Shawn walks out from the back sporting a pair of mirrored aviators 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 over sized Canadian Flags eclipsing both sides of the entrance ramp as the music continued to play in the background over the sound system.


Jessica Stroup: “The Canadian Controversy”…. Shawn Cage!!!!

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. 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. He then takes off his vest, sunglasses, earrings, and places them on the outside of the ring apron and then calls to a member of the ringside crew to come and pick-up his personal items, He then reaches into the front of his trunks and 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 that was tucked behind his ear in-between his teeth. He appears focused, cool, calm under the pressure and ready to strike.

Joe Aiello: This is one of the most anticipated matches of the night, the massive Living Dead Carl vs the extremely talented Shawn Cage!

Jeremy Piven: Wake me after Karl whips the floor with Cage…

Joe Aiello: What are you talking about? This is going to be one hell of a match up!

Jeremy Piven: Yeah, whatever…

The two men stand across the ring from each other for a moment and then Cage sprints at Karl leaping into the air looking for a corner splash, but Karl catches Cage and locks in a bear hug tightly like a vice! Cage is screaming in pain, as he reaches toward the ropes trying to get the break, but Karl walks him into the center of the ring. Cage winces in pain, and then quickly boxes the ears of Karl! LDK loosens his grip a little as Cage is finally able to breath a little he reaches back and boxes the ears again, and LDK lets go, as Cage tries to catch his breath reaching back and grabbing at his lower back, he hits the ropes and as he bounces off Karl tries to hit a running cloths line but Cage ducks it and hits the opposite side and just as Karl turns around and hits a leaping clothsline! Karl hits the mat but only for a moment, as he bounces back up, Cage hits Karl with a left and then a right as they back up against the ropes. Cage whips Karl into the ropes, and as Karl comes back Cage hits Karl with a flying leg lariat!

Joe Aiello: This match started out all LDK, but Cage looks to have it back well in hand!

Jeremy Piven: What? You mean it’s not over yet?

Cage picks himself up off the matt, only to be grabbed by the throat by Karl! LDK walks Cage back into the corner with his hand to the throat, the ref begins a five count, warning Karl to break the choke hold. LDK takes up the whole five count but breaks it just before the ref rings the bell, and walks away as Cage falls to a knee grabbing his neck ghasping for air. Karl shoves Cage back into the turnbuckle and hits him with three devastating knees to the midsection! Cage falls seated on matt, still trying to catch his breath as LDK, hits the opposite ropes and runs back and full speed and nearly takes off Cage’s head with a boot to the face! Karl plays to the crowd, met with boos from the crowd. Cage struggles getting to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself up, and just as he turns around Karl clothslines him over the top rope to the outside of the ring, and Cage stumbles bouncing off the announce position!

Jeremy Piven: Aaaaaand Karl turns Cage inside out… Surprise surprise…

Joe Aiello: Shawn Cage is out here right in front of us, and I’m getting out of here!

Piven and Aiello get up and move out of the way of the action as Karl slams Cage’s face down on the announcer’s desk. Cage starts crawling toward the steel steps as Karl goes to pick him up, but Cage grabs Carl by the waist and pulls him and LDK flies face first into the turnbuckle post! LDK stumbles backwards grabbing his forehead as Cage gest to his feet and gets enough room for a running start and he runs jumps off the steel steps and catches Karl with a flying clothsline just as he turns around! Cage leaps to his feet as the Crowd jumps to its feet, admiring his fire! He slaps hands with a few fans at ringside and then grabs a beer out of the hand of one of the ringside fans and takes a drink, and just as Karl gets up he spits beer in the face of Karl! Karl drops to one knee and Cage begins throwing fists of fire at Karl over and over and over again! He grabs LDK by the head and SLAMS his face down on the ring apron, and then throws him back in the ring before the ref counts them out. Cage goes for a cover…

Aiello: Things are getting fast and furious here!

Piven: Just glad they didn’t break the table, if they would have broken the table I woulda been pissed!

Cage kicks Karl’s hand off the bottom rope, and begins to stomp a mudhole in Karl, and LDK just takes it. As Cage turns around playing to the crowd, Karl just slowly gets up, looking pissed off. Cage runs at Karl and nails a clothsline but Karl hardly budges, he shakes his head no… Cage hits the ropes and nails him again, but again Karl refuses to go down! Cage hits the ropes a third time but this time runs into a big boot to the face from Karl! LDK screams and roars out to the crowd! Karl grabs Cage and hooks him for a suplex, he lifts Cage into the air and holds him up vertically, for what seems like a lifetime! But then instead of just dropping back in a suplex he slams Cage down in a NASTY brainbuster!!! Cage bounces off the matt, his eyes rolling back in his head as he falls limp. Karl covers up Cage…

Karl gets up looking shocked, he almost lost it! Cage jumps to his feet, and hits the ropes like a flash, and nails LDK with a hard dropkick to the head! As Karl starts to slowly get up, doubled over Cage hits a snap DDT!!! As Karl slowly makes it to his feet, Cage signals a throat slash, signaling for the end! He kicks Karl in the gut and nails the CAGED EXPLOSION!!!

Piven: NO! How is this possible???

Aiello: Cage rolls Karl over!

Cage is on his knees shocked with his eyes wide in shock! Karl’s not moving as Cage signals for the end once again, he stands waiting as Karl lays motionless. Cage becomes impatient and goes over and grabs Karl, but Karl grabs him… Infectious BITE!!! Cage screams grabbing at the bite! When he finally gets Karl off he stumbles back into the turnbuckle grabbing at the bite in pain, Carl comes up behind him he grabs him hoisting him up into the Anti-Life Equation!!! He nails it!!! Cage falls limp except for his hand that is still grabbing the bite… Karl hooks the legs as Cage curls up…

Jessica Stroup: Here is your winner… LIVING DEAD KARL!!!!

LDK just looks down at Cage, as he rolls out of the ring.

Winner: Living Dead Karl.

BACKSTAGE

Our scene cuts to the backstage area, Ace Heart is standing by with Shawn Cage who has requested the time to speak his mind.

 Shawn appears to be fresh out of the shower,  after his match with Living Dead Karl.  He has the same cold, dead, expressionless face we have come to know from him since his return.  Ace Heart lifts the microphone up to his mouth and our interview begins.

| Ace Heart |
Shawn, you asked for this time. What's on your mind?


| Shawn Cage |
I asked for the time to put all of the champions of our fun little company on notice. If you have a championship belt around your waist or hung over your shoulder than you should consider yourself marked. You have a target on your back now.

2016 is the year of Shawn Cage and I refuse to stand by and allow all these so called champion's hog all the spotlight. I don't care who you are, from the top to the bottom, rather you're Xplode or Shadow Man. I'm on the hunt for EWC Championship Gold and I refuse to let anyone stand in the way and keep me from my rightful place at the top.

| Ace Heart |
You heard it here folks, Shawn Cage has issued a Champion's Notice..


| Shawn Cage |
I wasn't finished, since we're going to make announcements that will rock the world of not only the EWC, but the entire wrestling industry.. Season Nineteen will be the final chapter in the wrestling career of Shawn Cage, you can consider this the start of the Shawn Cage farewell tour.

Make sure you get those tickets fast, folks. And buy up those EWCTV subscriptions, this is the start of your last chance to see Shawn Cage in the ring.


| Ace Heart |
So you're going to retire.. again..


| Shawn Cage |
Stop cutting me off, sit there and hold the microphone and shut your mouth. Let's have a recap, 2016 is the final year in my wrestling career and I am putting the entire champion's roster of the EWC on notice. Before the end of this year, Shawn Cage is going to hold EWC Gold and you don't have to like the fact, but you will accept it.

Shawn Cage pushes the microphone into the chest of Ace Heart and brushes past him,  heading down the hallway and towards the locker room,  Ace has nothing left to say and we cut back to ring side, as we gear up for Nurse Kinsley vs Emma Louise vs Lucy Middley.

NURSE KINSLEY
Vs EMMA LOUISE
Vs LUCY MIDDLEY

The lighting in the arena starts to flicker and strobe to the beat as Melissa Auf Der Maur's "Whispers and Potions" hits the PA.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is Triple Threat match scheduled for one fall, introducing first from Tijuana, Mexico… Weighing in at 135 pounds, NURSE Kinsley!!!
Harlow Kinsley stumbles her way down the ramp, staring off into space with a vacant expression.

Joe Aiello: Nurse Harlow Kinsley, one of the more bizarre individuals we have in EWC!

Jeremy Piven: Define Bizarre though, Joe... We have Living Dead Karl in EWC too!

Joe Aiello: Good Point!

She sometimes sways or moves to the music, and occasionally stops to stare down members of the audience; otherwise, she barely seems to know where she is.
"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: And her opponent from London, England... Now residing in New York, weighing in at Several pounds of Girly Goodness…. Emma Louise!!!

Joe Aiello: Emma Louise, coming into this match up after a huge win last week in Moscow over the Red Dragon! Could she actually be a favorite here tonight?

Jeremy Piven: You've just accented the BIZZZARRRE factor with Nurse Kinsley, Aiello, now you're saying Miss 'Goody Two-Shoes' Emma Louise is suddenly a favorite? Are you kidding me?

Joe Aiello: No, I'm not kidding you partner... Emma Louise beat the Red Dragon last week... She no slouch, obviously!

if you're sick
if you're sick
if you're sick
if you're sick of it
if you're sick
if you're sick

Jessica Stroup: And their opponent...

IF YOU'RE SICK OF IT!
Jessica Stroup: from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing in at 119 pounds…. Lucy Middley!!!
And with that "Sick of It" by Skillet blast into the arena. Shooting out from the black curtain is a rather enthusiastic looking girl, with a may more stern looking female following shortly afterwards. The fans were unsure how to react to Lucy, some cheered and some booed, yet the vast majority booed heavily towards the French Canadian known as Zelda Lavoie. However it appears that Middley hasn't noticed a single thing about the boos as she begins to skip down to the ring. Once at ringside Lucy practically throws herself under the bottom rope and into the ring. Immediately Lucy springs up to her feet, bounce over to one of the corners and leaps up to the middle rope before throwing her hands up in the air. By then Zelda is already at ringside as Lucy makes her hands outline a love-heart and yells out "Haters Be Losers!" before splitting her hands up and jumping back down to the mat.

Joe Aiello: She's obviously done enough to included in this match up... I'm not going to knock it! President Mac always has a plan...

The bell rings... Lucy & Emma jump on Kinsley immediately....

Joe Aiello: Oh, eJoe Aiello: But what about Lucy?

Jeremy Piven: HEEEYYYYY LUUUCCCY! Look Joe... er... JOKE! What the hell has Lucy done? I mean really...
liminate the threat immediately by Emma and Lucy... smart tactics.

Emma and Lucy bullrush Kinsley into a corner. Working to tother, double suplex her into the middle of the ring; quick cover by Emma...

1...

Lucy pulls her off and goes for the cover...

1...

Emma pulls her off.

The two stand up pushing and josting against eachother... Kinsley stands up, as if unaffected . Emma & Lucy look to her then run at her... Double clothesline by Kinsley then tosses Lucy out of the ring. Grabs Emma by the hair, pulling her to her feet. Emma punches Kinsley's in the gut and turns her over for a neckbreaker...

When suddenly, a bell tolls...

Joe Aiello: What the--



Jeremy Piven: Are you kidding me?! YES! YES! IT'S JEZZABEL! THE TRANSCENDENCE HAS ARRIVED!!! THE RISING PHOENIX HAS RISEN!!!! All is good in the world now...

Joe Aiello: Oh Dear God!

Jezzabel bursts through her entrance pryos like a banshee and runs down to the ring. Emma finishes her neckbreaker on Kinsley. Jezzabel slides under the bottom rope (uncharacteristic of her) and gets to her feet quickly exchanging blows with Emma Louise. Jezzabel gains an advantage and whips Emma to the ropes then delivers the Big Boot, sending her out of the ring. The crowd is going nuts as Lucy enters the ring and is met with the same Big Boot Emma got.
Nurse Kinsley gets to her feet and looks around at Jezzabel; Jezzabel notices her too at the same time. The two look at eachother oddly, but walk towards eachother to the center of the ring.

Jeremy Piven: Ok, this is interesting...

Joe Aiello: Are we really seeing this? Both are virtually identical... Jezzabel slightly taller at six foot, but virtually identical... I don't think Jezzabel's used to this... Look at her.

Jezzabel stands toe to toe with Kinsley, stares her down then turns her head sideways, like an owl, turning her head back to normal. then backs off and slides out of the ring.
Lucy attacks frantically from behind Kinsley... Kinsley, still staring at Jezzabel walking up the ramp, literally wraps her arm around her neck, without even looking at her, reaching around her head and squeezes... then runs up the turnbuckles delivering Sobredosis. She rolls over for the pin, staring directly at Jezzabel on the ramp...

1...

3!

"Whispers and Potions" hits the PA.

Jessica Stroup: Her is your Winner... Nurse Kinsley!

Kinsley doesn't take her eyes of Jezzabel who's gotten to the top of the ramp now. Jezzabel actually smiles down at Kinsley, then turns around raising here fist in the air like her brother, the Undertaker, as ifshe's won the match. Kinsley's music stops as the new Transcendence theme 'Contagious' by Collective Soul begins to play. Camera focusses in on Jezzabel's fist and Jezzabel's index finger extends, pointing to the big screen above.

The music fades out as the screen crackles to life, showing King Flip backstage, still dressed as Steve Irwin still talking himself up for a job well done, when suddenly he's nailed from out of no where by an arm and body, driving him back into some road cases. Camera pans back to see the hand first, where the hook of a crowbar sits around the hand. Camera then pans out full to see Kruzer standing over Flip, smiling...

{In an Australian accent} Kruzer: Crikey! The ol'Kruzermatic in his natural environment... (normal voice) You miss the ol'Kruzermatic NOW Jive Turkey?!

Kruzer flips his crowbar in his hand to hold the shaft.

Kruzer: ...Intenational Champion? ..More like International Jackass, Savvy?!

Kruzer walks off down the hallway, slinging his crowbar over his shoulder, scratching the back of his neck and whistling. King Flip gets up slowly, rubbing the side of his face.

King Flip: ...Peasant. ...Oh you'll pay Peasnt. You'll pay.

Screen heads backstage.

BACKSTAGE

Backstage in front of the Flash Davis dressing Ace Heart is standing there.

Heart: Hello, I’m Ace Heart. I’m here outside Flash Davis’ dressing room. He lost to the EWC International Champion, King Flip earlier tonight. Let me see if we can have a word with him.

Ace Heart knocks on the door. The first time there is no answer. He looks at the camera.

Ace Heart: How about we try that again.

Ace Heart knocks again and when the door opens it is the Easy Rider model Samantha Mintor who answers.

Heart: Wow. Flash Davis you look hot.

Mintor: I’m not Flash Davis. I’m Samantha Mintor. But, thank you.

She smiles.

Heart: You look ravishing.

She continues to smile as Ace Heart continues.

Heart: You look more than ravishing you look phenomenal

Mintor: Thanks. Umm, is there something I can help you with? Flash isn’t in the mood to speak with anyone right now.

Heart: Can you answer something for me Samannnnntha Mintor?

Mintor: I can try.

She smiles.

Heart: Can you tell us all why Flash Davis lost that match with King Flip? Was it because he doesn’t have the testicular fortitude?

Samantha Mintor gives Ace Heart a confused and awkward look and looks at the camera and goes back to her normal smile.

Heart: Is it because he can’t handle the pressure?

Samantha shakes her head and holds up her hands.

Mintor: Uh, look these aren’t questions that I’m going to waste my time with, Mr. Heart.

Ace Heart pays little attention and keeps going.

Heart: Is it because he doesn’t have the juevos to stand next to the big names in the Extreme Wrestling Corporation?

Mintor: Ace Heart is it?

Heart: That is my name. Ace Heart. Yes it is. I’m Ace Heart. Who are you?

Mintor: Uh, Samantha Mintor.

Heart: Samantha Mintor? Who is that? Is that you? Are you famous?

Mintor: Mr. Heart. I think we’re done here. So you need to go. Okay?

Heart: But, I’m Ace Heart.

Mintor: I know. Bye.

Samantha goes back into Flash’s dressing room and Ace Heart looks at the camera.

Heart: And there you have it. I’m Ace Heart, thank you Grand Rapids. Back to you.

BACKSTAGE

Fists pound against a mirror as Xplode leans his forehead against the glass. Hanging in the locker room nearby is the EWC Championship, never too far from his grasp. Taking a deep breath, Xplode remains silent as the fans are heard in the distance from within the arena. Speaking to no one, Xplode begins to talk as he remains in place..

Xplode: Terry..

Leaning back, Xplode walks across the room. He grabs a spool of white athletic tape and finds a seat, applying it to his hands and wrists.

Xplode: Terry... I know you can hear me. I didn't think that it would be so hard to do this without you. Right about know, you are usually running around the room, freaking out over every detail as I prepare to step into the ring. It was that way for years... and now it finally feels over. You were right... we were a team out there.

Packing the tape tightly, Xplode punches his open palm.

Xplode: You have my word. Tonight, I am going to wreck that idiot and unify the strap. I am going to make you proud and dominate 2016 in a way that will shake the very foundation of heaven itself! I will do it because this is who I am... and this is what I do. I am this way because you made me into the man that I am today. This... is my time.

Standing up, Xplode grabs the EWC Title and holds it in his open palms.

Xplode: This game is not about winning or losing though... is it. It's about going out there and being the very that you can be, continuously... every night. It's about making the legends of the past proud, and it's about making sure that all of their sacrifices are not in vain . Every champion that has held this strap, every drop of blood that they have shed, rests on my shoulders now. I take this very seriously. To be the EWC Champion means that a person is the best in the world today. Everything else is just another form of second place....

Buckling the strap around him now, Xplode takes a deep breath.

Xplode: Terry... I know that you won't be at ringside for me tonight. You will be in the arena though. You will live on through me.. and the ride isn't over yet. The world will respect me, one way or the other.. even if I have to destroy their joke of a hero to get it! Don't blink, Terry. I will be ending this quick..

As Xplode prepares to leave the locker room, the door suddenly opens in front of him. Ruthann Parks smiles as she slowly enters, wrapping her arms around him. The two kiss.

Ruthann: Are you ready?

Xplode: You bet your ass that I am.

Ruthann: I don't need to remind you that Shadow Man is a dangerous opponent. You are going to need to be on your toes.

Xplode: No.. you don't.

Ruthann: Shadow Man is a legend.

Xplode: Tonight.. he is my bitch.

Ruthann laughs as she kisses Xplode on the cheek.

Ruthann: Go out there and end this story, Jaden. Unify those straps and secure your place in EWC history. you have earned this. I love you.

Xplode nods his head, the sweat slowly dripping from the corners of his forehead.

Xplode: Tonight.. tonight is for Terry. I won't let him down.

Jessica Stroup: Ladies and Gentlemen... we are now at the Main Event of the evening! The next match will be a first of it's kind, historic match.... where the winner will represent both Brawl and Rampage as the Undisputed EWC Champion! Both men will square off.. title for title.. winner take all!

The fans begin to scream!

Jessica Stroup: And now.. the champions. Coming to the ring first ... he is the EWC World Heavyweight champion, EWC Hardcore Champion and 2015 winner of the Rumble in the Bronx. A man who needs no introduction.. SHADOW MAN!

The lights in the arena slowly begin to dim as everyone in the arena quickly get's 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 there 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 their for a few seconds with a smirk on his face and begins to point to the fans who are screaming the loudest. He holds both Championship belts high above his head

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

Piven: Shadow Man looks focused... it's eerie.

Aiello: He does. I am starting to become a believer in his stock tonight. He will have his hands full though. The man that he is facing is considered by many to be the best to ever lace up the boots...

The fans continue to cheer as Shadow Man leans against the ropes.

Jessica Stroup: And his opponent... he is a man who turned 2015 into the Era of X. Winner of the 2014 Rumble in the Bronx and appointed Destroyer of Worlds. The entire industry buzzes upon seeing his name and tonight.. he defends the EWC CHAMPIONSHIIP!!!! PLEASE WELCOME.... XPLODE!!!

“The Enemy” by Godsmack begins to play! The crowd stands up to their feet as the arena lights fade to a crimson red! The arena starts to shake due to the responses from the fans as Jessica Stroup raises a microphone to her lips:

Jessica Stroup: Please welcome, the EWC Champion... the Destroyer of Worlds.. XPLODE!!!

The crowd continues to shout loudly as a fog machine covers the entrance. Flames erupt from each side of the stage. Stepping out into view, Xplode looks out at the fans with a smirk on his face. He looks ripped, sweat dripping down the sides of his forehead. The EWC Title is buckled around his waist, sparkling under the arena lights. His hands are heavily taped and a thick knee brace is buckled over his right knee.

Walking to the ramp, he proceeds down to the ring. Behind him, above the stage, a zoomed in image of his determined face is highlighted within a red spotlight. He keeps his eyes on the ring in the distance as he walks down the ramp way. Fans reach out to touch him as he continues forward, ignoring their gestures. Once at ringside, Xplode glances once more at the fans nearby before stepping up on the ring apron. He then turns to face the fans, his face without any emotion. Slowly, Xplode removes the EWC Title from around his waist and proceeds to raise it over his head, causing a thunderous response from the fans! 

Xplode enters the ring. As camera flashes reflect from off of his large upper torso, Xplode stares at the championship belt one more time before handing it to a ring official at ringside. He then tugs on the top rope twice and cracks his neck, turning to face the referee.

Piven: Wow... X is ripped. He is really in top shape. I wouldn't want to be Shadow Man right now.

Aiello: You know what you will get when you watch an Xplode match. Brutality, rage... these are common words used to describe his methods out there. Tonight, he will need to utilizes his entire career of experience if he is to overcome the challenge that has been placed before him. Shadow Man is known for putting everything on the line every time he hits the ring. Both these men are out for blood. Everything is at stake here. Only one man will stand tall as the UNDISPUTED EWC CHAMPION

Xplode and Shadow Man glare at one another as Jessica raises both titles over her head! The fans cheer louder than ever as she slowly exits the ring, her dress glittering under the arena lights! With the fans at a fever pitch.. the bell is rung.. and both men remain in place! The intensity is AMAZING!

Aiello: Here we go!!!! Tonight.. there can only be one!

The fans completely lose it as both men circle one another in the ring. Xplode feints a lunge, causing Shadow Man to snap to defensive posture! Xplode holds back though, testing out Shadow Man's reactions. The two circle once more, until Shadow Man goes on the attack! Shadow rushes X, but X easily side steps him, sending him shoulder first into the turnbuckle. X grabs Shadow but is nailed in the face with an elbow that sends him stumbling backwards!

Shadow Man turns to press the attack but is kicked in the gut! X pulls him in and nails a DDT, sending Shadow Man into the mat! X straddles Shadow and begins to pummel him with closed fists, sending the fans into a frenzy! Satisfied, Xplode rises back to his feet, stretching his arms as he prepares for Shadow Man to recover!

Shaking it off quickly, Shadow Man slowly rises to his feet. He nods his head in respect and both men circle the ring once again. Locking up, Shadow gains the advantage first as he turns the movement into a side headlock. X quickly recovers by using his upper body strength! Lifting Shadow Man into the air, X performs a backdrop, laying Shadow Man out! X rolls away and rises to his feet once more, hopping in place! X is amped right now as he yells at Shadow Man to get back up! Shadow Man looks up at him and takes a deep breath, slowly rolling over to his side. X sees this.. rushes him.. and drops a stiff knee on the side of Shadow Man's head! The fans begin to boo loudly!

Aiello: WOW.... Xplode is really putting on a clinic tonight! He is simply overpowering Shadow Man out there! If Shadey continues to take damage like this, this match will not continue much longer!

Piven: I honestly don't think anybody can prepare to face X in that ring properly. His years of experience always comes into play, allowing him to shift gears and change the game plan when needed.

Shadow Man takes a deep breath as he slowly rises to his feet, the side of his face now flush. Xplode watches him, carefully sizing him up. Waiting for the right time, Xplode scoops up Shadow Man effortlessly! Shadow Man wiggles himself free in a counter, and lands behind X! He then lifts X into the air with a Full Nelson and slams him into the mat! X lands squarely on the back of his neck, sending him into a frenzy of pain! Shadow Man rolls away as the fans spring to life now! He runs to the ropes and uses them as momentum, performing a bulldog on X as he is just getting back to his feet!

Gaining momentum, Shadow Man grabs X by the hair and helps him up to one knee. He then punches X... and then punches him again.. in the exposed forehead! Shadow Man then scoops up X and walks around the ring, nailing a military press slam! The ring shakes from the impact as Xplode lands hard! Shadow Man quickly covers for the pin!

1...

X kicks out!

Piven: It will take more than that to put down the EWC Champion. Shadow Man needs to keep laying on the offense and break down X's resolve.

Shadow Man helps X to his feet. Using an Irish Whip, he sends X into the corner of the ring, only to perform a running splash against X! X stumbles forward and then lands face first on the mat! The fans really get behind Shadow Man now as he helps X to his feet. Leaning X against the ropes, Shadow runs to the other side and bounces off the ropes. He then rushes X with a forearm out...

Xplode counters by dropping to a sitting position, with the top rope in tow. Shadow Man is sent flying out of the ring and to ringside, landing hard on his shoulder!

Aiello: HOLY SHIT!!! IS SHADY OKAY?!!!

Shadow Man rolls around at ringside, screaming in pain as officials check on him. He points at his shoulder which is hanging very low as they look at the damage! In the ring, Xplode takes a deep breath. Rolling out of the ring, he grabs one of the officials and shoves him away! He then stomps Shadow on the hurt shoulder... and then does it again! Shadow Man screams in agony as Xplode takes a step back! Grabbing Shadow Man by the hair, Xplode helps him to his feet. He then Irish Whips Shadow Man into the exposed turnbuckle post! The injured shoulder hits the metal, further damaging the limb! Xplode steps back now..

X rushes Shadow Man but Shadow counters by grabbing X by the head! He then drives X face first into the same turnbuckle post, sending him tumbling over the metal steps! X rolls over unto his back, breathing heavily. A thin stream of blood trickles from the wrinkles on his forehead!

Piven: The Champ is busted open! This could be the window of opportunity here that Shadow Man needs!

Aiello: CAN HE CAPITALIZE ON THIS?!!

Shadow Man, still holding his shoulder, walks towards X. He stomps Xplode once, and then drops down beside him. He begins to punch Xplode in the open wound, spilling his blood even further! Exhausted, Shadow Man rises back up with Xplode in tow. He walks Xplode over to the announcer's table, and rolls him on top of it! Climbing up himself, he positions Xplode just right before lifting him up. The table shakes repeatedly as Shadow Man nails a piledriver, shattering the table instantly!!! Both men crumble into the concrete floor, lost in a sea of wooden debris! The fans show their appreciation and amazement with cheers!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!


HOLY SHIT!!!!


HOLY SHIT!!!


HOLY SHIT!!!

Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!!! BOTH MEN ARE BROKEN!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!

Both men remain still for a time until finally, Shadow Man rolls over to a thunderous applause! Slowly, he rises to his feet, shaking off the cobwebs. Shadow then walks towards the ring and slams his shoulder hard against the steps .. a loud *POP* sound could be heard as screams in pain and the fans scream with him

Aiello: I think he just popped his shoulder back into place. Disgusting

Grabbing X, Shadow Man drags him towards the ring, and rolls him under the bottom rope. Shadow rolls in as well.. and covers for the pin..

The fans scream in delight as Shadow Man punches the mat! He rolls away and stands up, suddenly bursting with energy! Adjusting his boots and kneepads, he waits for Xplode who is slowly rising. It takes time as Xplode finally gets up, turning around. X is then kicked in the gut! Shadow Man hooks the arms....

SHADOW MAN NAILS XPLODE'S FINISHER.... THE DROP ZONE!!

The fans scream as Shadow Man covers for the pin...

Aiello: Can you believe this?! No matter what Shadow Man does to the EWC Champion, Xplode will not give up! He is truly putting on a show tonight! Can he hold on though? How long can he last?!

Piven: I don't know.. but Shadow Man is gaining momentum here.

Shadow Man looks at the fans here as he signals for the end! The crowd gets behind him as he waits for X to rise once again. Xplode stumbles forward as he is snatched by Shadow! Somehow, Xplode shoves him away, and then applies a face lock... only to twist and nail Shadow Man's finisher... the GBC!!!!!

Aiello: XPLODE JUST HIT SHADOW MAN'S FINISHER?!!! THEY ARE BOTH TAKING PLAYS OUT OF EACH OTHER'S BOOKS HERE!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!

Piven: I am literally on the edge of my seat here!!! Who is going to win this match and make history tonight? Both men have given their all here. Both men have refused to give up!

Both Shadow Man and Xplode are laying on their backs in the ring, breathing heavily! Slowly, Xplode crawls over to Shadow and drapes his arm over him for the pin..

THRE- Kick out by Shadow Man!!!

Aiello: OH MY GAWD!!!

Xplode rolls over into the corner of the ring, half of his face covered in his own blood! Gritting his teeth, he uses the ropes for leverage as he slowly gets back up! He is exhausted. Looking out at the fans, he nods his head and turns around...

....and is hit with a missile drop kick from Shadow Man!!!!

Xplode falls backwards into the turnbuckle post, his arms draped over the ropes! Shadow Man looks out at the fans and smiles. Nodding that he is still in the game, he helps Xplode to the top of the turnbuckle. He then ascends the buckle with Xplode as the fans scream in delight!!

Aiello: OH NO.... WHAT IS SHADY GONNA DO?!!

Lifting Xplode, Shadow Man goes for the Super Suplex from the rope.... but Xplode somehow manages to break free!! Xplode lands in the ring on his feet, stumbling backwards!!

Piven: WOW!!!

Shadow Man sees this and turns. He launches into the air with a body splash! Xplode... at the last minute.. kicks Shadow Man in the gut in mid air, causing him to land awkwardly on his ankle which bends forwards slightly, Shadow is also doubled over... stumbling backwards!!

Xplode rushes Shadow Man...

Xplode hooks the arms.....

Shadow Man twists, countering with a facelock...

Xplode breaks free.... hooking the arms once again....

Xplode nails the Drop Zone!!!!

Shadow Man lands with a sickening thud as he is planted face first into the mat! Xplode stumbles backward, landing on the ropes after hitting his finisher!!!

Aiello: COVER HIM!!!!!

Xplode takes a deep breath and walks over to Shadow Man. He stares down at him... then proceeds to help him back to his feet. Shadow clearly can't put any weight what-so-ever on his ankle... X then proceeds to kick him in the gut once more, Xplode hooks the arms...

.....and nails the Drop zone once again, this time with even more authority!!

Piven: THIS IS IT!!!!

The fans scream in excitement as Xplode flops over Shadow Man, hooking the leg for the pin!

Piven: OH MY GAWD... X DID IT!!! X DID IT!!! X IS THE NEW UNDISPUTED CHAMPION!!!

The fans literally explode out of their seats and rush the barrier as Xplode's arm is raised in victory! He looks exhausted and spent as both title belts are draped over his shoulders.

Jessica Stroup: PLEASE WELCOME... the NEW... UNDISPUTED EWC WORLD CHAMPION.... XPLODE!!!!

"I stand alone" by Godsmack begins to play as confetti falls from the rooftops! Slowly rising to his feet, Xplode looks at both championships before raising them over his head in victory! On the stage area, both Michael Saint and President Mac come into view, clapping their hands in appreciation! Xplode looks at them, and then at the fans, as the arena literally comes alive! Security guards struggle to keep the fans out of the ring as the celebration continues!

Aiello: There he is.. .the new Undisputed EWC Champion! Xplode has hit the top of the industry....

Rolling out of the ring, Shadow Man looks up at Xplode with sadness in his eyes and unable to put any weight on his right ankle. Xplode looks down at him, a look of disgust on his face.

Piven: Something tells me... this isn't over.

Shadow Man is handed his Hardcore Championship and then is helped up the ramp. Shadow is clearly in a lot of pain, both from his ankle and shoulder. Shadow leaves as Xplode celebrates in the ring, both championships hoisted over his head!



The music continues to play as the fans respond!

Aiello: There it is! What a show!!! This brings us to a close... but what happens next is anyone's guess!! I am Joey Aiello and my partner is Jeremy Piven! See you next week! Tune in to Rampage to witness the fallout from tonight's match! Good night everyone!
