---------------

Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the screaming fans as "Asking For It" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.



"MAYBE YOU TALKED TOOOO MUCH AND YOU WERE...
ASKING FOR IT!!!"

The fans scream for delight as the X-Tron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.



The camera pans around the arena as fans scream for delight and begin their chants and raise their signs high into the air.

{Παρασκευή το βράδυ Rampage!}

{Ο Ace King είναι ο καλύτερος!}

{King Flip πάνω από τα υπόλοιπα!}

{Πού είναι το Queen Melody?}

{Ας γίνουμε ακραίοι!}







Παρασκευή το βράδυ Rampage!

Παρασκευή το βράδυ Rampage!

Πάμε Rampage!

Πάμε Rampage!

The camera flashes back to the X-Tron which shows everyone participating in the upcoming bout... There's Timothy Deacon, King Flip, Jamie Love, Amber Lisa Hall, Malcolm Blades, Tyler Bradford, SONYA, Ruthann Hunter, Sour Candy, Xavier Reid, Ace King, Andrea Hernandez, Mark Storm & JoJo Rush.. The camera cuts back to King Flip holding his EWC International Championship, then Jason Hunter holding his HBO Broadcast Championship, then Lavender holding the United States Championships and lastly Melody Malone holding the Undisputed Championship high into the air.

The camera cuts over to the Rampage announce desk, where we see Grizzly Duggan.

Duggan: Hello folks, and welcome to a special episode of Friday Night Rampage! Tonight, we've got just one match for you, and it's a big one. It's a gauntlet match for one million dollars! Now, you may be asking.. uh, where is Grizzly out here? Well folks, I'm afraid I have some bad news. You see, Martinez has retired from commentary to start a family and Phil, well he demanded 2 million dollars to do the show solo again. So Phil has been fired... but good news! We have found replacements and they will be coming next Rampage. I'll leave them under wraps for now, but it's going to be a fun one. 

Tonight, this gauntlet match with fourteen of the most talented people on the roster is sure to leave quite the lasting impression and I can't wait to get it started. But before we do, I've got another quick update. It is my job to listen to all promotional material that our roster puts out, so I heard a lot of them complain about the draw order and I know we had a superstar drop out of the gauntlet. So we are going to do another draw, this one a secret and whoever comes out comes out! Good luck!

On his way out of Grizzly Duggan’s office Mercenary all but trips over Brian Spade and his ever present camera man.

Mercenary: Damn it Haircut Junior why are ya always popping up right in the wrong place every time I see you?

Spade straitens his tie and flashes his bright white caps at the camera.

Spade: Brian Spade here for Rampage Wrestling and I’m here with the Mercenary who just this moment has come from a closed door meeting with the GM Grizzly Duggan. After the events in the B.O.R.T. and Brand Warfare at Parabellum what can fans expect to see next from the EWC Outlaw?

Mercenary: Well Brian, August as you know, is a big month here in the EWC. At Night of Champions the most decorated this company has to offer will come to blows yet again in what, I’m sure, will be one hell of a show. August is all about the champions and the potential champions… neither of which it seems I will ever be. So what am I gonna do next? I’m gonna do what I should’ve done weeks ago when Lavender eliminated me from the Best of Rampage: I’m gonna go home, rest my injured knee and take some serious inventory about what comes next for me.

Just recently I heard a quote that hit really close to home. It went something like: If a person wants something badly enough that person will either find a way to make it happen or find a way to make excuses for why it hasn’t happened yet. After all the chances I’ve had to win a title I think it’s safe to say that I’ve busted my ass just about every way I can to make that goal come to pass. But no matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to make that happen. The definition of insanity is to do the same things over and over again and expect a different result and I’d have to be a damn mad man not to get the message by now that somewhere in the universe there is just some force that is dead set against me ever winning gold.

But that’s not an excuse Brian. I’m not the type of guy to make excuses when things don’t go my way. I mean it’s not like I haven’t had eight chances to win one of those belts over the last few years. My career has been rich with those kinds of opportunities. I’ve had big time matches against big time talent. So I can’t claim to have been held back or overlooked. The opportunities have been there, I’ve just never been able to pull the trigger when the battle matters most.

One of the most important lessons that guys like Josh Steele, Tomohiro Suzuki and Raven Ross have taught me in my later years in this business is that sometimes the old dog has to step aside so that the young pups don’t have to run him down to find their place in line. Not that that’s been much of a problem for me because since my first match with Melody it seems like the new blood around here has had no real problem at all turning me into roadkill.

So I’ve decided to leave Night of Champions to the Champs and their Contenders and I wish the best of luck to Lavender, The Prince and The Queen. I hope they all tear the house down at the Pay Per View. As for me, I’ll take the time to heal up from the beating most of those very names have been handing me since Stranglemania and we’ll see how I feel once The Rumble comes around.

With that Mercenary slaps Brian Spade on the arm and makes his way into the locker room to gather his gear and head out on his hiatus.

We return to ringside where Chriqui stands in the ring. 

Chriqui: The following match is a 14 person gauntlet match. Introducing first, the person who drew #1 from Seattle, Washington & weighing in at 245 pounds... JOJO RUSH!!!

JoJo enters the stage at the start of his music He takes in the sight of the stadium before getting down to his knees with his head lowered and fists against one another in front of his chest. At the chorus, JoJo looks up to the ceiling and extends his arms out wide while shower curtain pyro rains down from above. He hops back up to his feet and goes to approach the ring.

Chriqui: And his opponent from San Francisco, CA & weighing in at 200 pounds, EWC HoFer... RUTHANN HUNTER!!!

Du du du du-du du du

Du du du du du-du du du

The crowd starts to chant that part of the song out loud. As the lights went in and out as Fall Out Boy Centuries came blasting on. They look up at the ramp standing there with smoke surrounding the stage coming out among it is Ruthless Aggression taking in everything wearing her Red and Gold Leather Jacket walking down the ramp on the back. It was a cartoon version of her and Jaden together wearing a pair of red and gold tights with Rampage Shirt or (Name of PPV). Standing next to her is Rose Lee wearing her own leather jacket with a bit of a smirk playing to the crowd. She walked down the ramp along side with her towards the ring high five the fans and everything. Ruthann smirks as she stops in the middle of the ramp looking around taking in the crowd. She closed her eyes as the words came blasting over the speakers.

Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me for centuries

And just one mistake

Is all it will take.

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries

Hey, hey, hey

Remember me for centuries

She then looks up blowing a kiss to the sky as she then ran down the ramp and slide under the bottom rope with a bit of a smirk and then jumps up onto the turnbuckle as she sings the chorus with them. Rose Lee is standing outside just watching her with a nod slapping the mat down ready for a fight in excitement.

Du du du du-du du du

Du du du du du-du du du

She then jumps down and turns around facing the person taking off the black jacket. She hands it to the person on the outside ready to fight!

Yasahiro: Fighters at your ready, go!

The camera cuts to one of the VIP boxes inside the Dimitris Tofalos Arena, where we find Technicolour Tecnico and Greatest X-Division Champion of All Time™ El Pablo gleefully tucking into a stadium-sized packet of Σκύλες. Beside him stands intrepid Rampage interviewer Brian Spade, mic in hand and finger pressed to his ear as he awaits the cue to commence the interview.

Brian Spade: Folks, a momentary break in the 'Destruction' here as we find ourselves in the presence of EWC X-Division Champion El Pablo! Pablo, great to see you back on Rampage; how are you enjoying the action so far?

El Pablo: I tell you what, Brian, it's an unprecedented night of action and entertainment here in Proastio, and we've already been treated to some incredible action indisputably worthy of the occasion! I mean, that one match just then? When the one person did the thing to the other? Are you kidding me!?

Brian Spade: I hear ya, Pablo; an incredible night and still so much more to come! Who are you rooting for, as this Gauntlet motors on and the field continues to narrow?

El Pablo: Well, we're about to hit the 'Friends and Family' phase of this thing; Ruthann, Reid and my fellow Rouletter rocking up in quick succession! Honestly? I'd be happy with any one of them to make off with that millie come the end of the night but, in a pinch…I've gotta back my boy Ace. We've seen how capable he is of gutting out a win against the odds - and given how 'tough' the last couple of months have been for him, I think it'd do him the world of good to pick the big win up here tonight.

Brian Spade: Of course, we also can't forget the elephant in the room-

El Pablo: The what-now?

Brian Spade: …

El Pablo: …

Brian Spade: …the fact that, amongst those three, we're also gonna see your opponent for Paramount this coming Wednesday. Are you hoping that one of your amigos might do you a favour against Sour Candy?

EP smirks, taking another hit of Σκύλες.

El Pablo: Hey; whatever happens, happens, right?

Seriously, though, as I said a few days ago, for as much as people might rag on her hopping from brand to brand over the last couple of seasons and the success she may or may not have achieved, there's no doubt that - Sour or not - Candy's an all-timer here in the EWC, and in a match like this, a fighter like her should always be considered a threat.

That said, just like I alluded to: the longer this match goes on for her, the greater the potential after-effects'll be come Wednesday night…and the greater the opportunity for me to exploit them. This show tonight may have been billed as 'Destruction in Dimitris' but, under my watch, the X-Division's left in ruins the hopes and dreams and preconceptions of everybody who's stepped up to challenge me! So, whether Ruthann lets Candy's blood flow, or my brother FU Stomps her dreams into Pixie dust, you can Bet On Paramount #23 ending with my former sugar-coated sister-in-arms receiving yet another X-rated Taste of the Rainbow.

Viva La Rainbowlution.

His smirk now spread into a full, teeth-bearing grin, EP tosses a final fistful of technicolour shells into his mouth before the screen cuts to the next slice of the action.

Tim rolls out of the ring and grabs two tables that he slides into the ring. He starts to set them up when Mark Storm enters the ring. Tim drops the table and advances on Mark, who drops him with a dropkick. Mark sets up the table for Tim and gives it a pat for stability. Mark turns around to face Tim, and catches a spinning heel kick that lays him out over the table.

Tim scales the top rope and goes for the frog splash, but Mark Storm moves and Timothy Deacon crashes through his own table! Mark rolls to the outside and waits for Tim to stand.. Mark front flips over the top rope and smashes into Tim with a lariat! Mark’s momentum drives him forward and he jumps over the opposite ropes, spins around and front-flips back in as Tim tries to stand, this time landing the springboard Stormstrike to the back of Tim’s head sending him face first into the canvas! Mark covers!

ONE!

Jamie Love drags Mark up and sends him into the ropes, he goes for a move but before he could hit it Maria smashes one of the chairs into Mark’s face yelling DON’T SHOVE ME ANIMAL while she does it.

Jamie calms Maria and gets her out of the ring. Mark Storm gets to his feet, his face now a bloody mess. Jamie Love kicks him in the stomach and then in the upper thigh to drop him to a knee. Jamie grabs a headlock and lands a DDT on the chair. Cover!

Maria helps Jamie roll Mark back into the ring, Jamie climbs the turnbuckles. Jamie jumps into a flying dropkick that catches Mark and sends him flying across the ring.

Jamie Love pulls Mark up and sends him into the ropes, Jamie goes for another enziguri but Mark ducks it and spins into an elbow into the back of Jamie’s head! Mark throws a European uppercut into Jamie, followed by a discus lariat! Mark goes for the cover, but Maria blasts him in the face with the fire extinguisher that was still out! Jamie turns the cover into a leverage pin!

Narumi Tsutsumi's upper body appears on the X-Tron with a Crown Royal drink in her hand, parodying Melody Malone’s commercial she takes a sip from her wine cup. She does a questioning face and then shrugs.

Narumi: Crown Royal, fit for a queen. Perhaps not for oni royalty though.

Narumi places the drink down revealing herself in a seiza position wearing a pink and black Shinijoshi and yokai-themed furisode long sleeve kimono in a tatami room with a sake set in front of her. Narumi smiles playfully as she switches to her preferred sake instead.

Narumi: Did you know oni are said to love alcohol? But Malone, Crown Royal is from Canada. The one who has a special treat for those Canadians is me when I become the second longest reigning Indy Champion and WRESTLE in front of that crowd who paid to see the favourite names of the brand they're attending with their hard-earned money!

Narumi winks at the camera, knowing Malone knows what potshot is coming.

Narumi: If I’ve gathered things correctly from these seasons I know from history in the Undisputed Championship scene that this is the part where I call you out for having the day off from wrestling on your very own brand’s show, let alone the other brands as Undisputed Champion. Then you as champion get insecure and passive-aggressive about it in response. But I honestly don’t care why Duggan didn’t put you in this show’s big gauntlet match, nor why you didn’t try to force yourself into wrestling, you have nothing to gain nor prove by wrestling in that match. You’re comfortable and the smart type who picks their spots, I can respect that. But respect won’t stop the new generation from doing what we must to usher in the new age! Tonight many are doing their parts, Prime’s beloved Amber Lisa Hall and Shinijoshi’s mighty Sonya! Listening to what people were saying going into this Rampage it is apparent to me that people think we let random non-threats into the Shinijoshi and people believe no change is happening here in the EWC because no one can stop the old guard, but they’re wrong. The Tyler Bradfords of the world can go right back to sleep because I have things handled.

Narumi lifts the Indy Championship out from her long sleeve.

Narumi: The new generation was being built up right under their noses when they weren’t paying attention. Right on Prime, the brand that in defeat still was there to take out Team Rampage first. Let’s look at the people who hold successful records for being on top. For the X-Division, it’s Kinsley and the spectacular El Pablo who have the records. For the International Championship it’s names like Xavier Reid and Cyrus Black. For the US Championship it’s Ace King’s legendary 777 days. For the NA Championship it’s Tommy Aero & Robbie Rayder. And of course, at the tippy top with the Undisputed Championship is the dearly departed legend Xplode himself. But on Prime, with this Indy Championship, I’ve demolished the most important record of title defences, and I’m coming for bonus seconds when it comes to time on top. I’m the only youngblood in the EWC breaking records, and I intend to do all that it takes to be the one who gets to unquestionable change the EWC landscape forever by becoming Undisputed Champion!

Narumi smiles as X-Tron fades and the show goes continues.

Sour Candy begins to walk to the ring, a smile on her face as she raises up a Fluorescent Light Tube and cackles. Maria rushes Candy but Candy smashes a forearm into Maria’s face and drops her. Candy rolls into the ring where Jamie is waiting. She laughs at Jamie and rushes him, Jamie ducks the incoming lightt… NO.. He does! Candy spins around quick as a devil and smashes the lighttube into Jamie’s face! Jamie is busted open! Candy grabs Jamie’s hair and pulls him into a DDT! Cover!

ON… KICKOUT BY JAMIE LOVE!

Candy mounts Jamie and and forearms him in the face. Candy drags Jamie up by his hair and sends him into the ropes, spear.. No wait! Jamie turns it into a DDT! Candy pulls herself up with the ropes and stumbles towards Jamie who floors her with an enziguri!

Jamie Love drags Candy up and kicks her in the stomach, then kicks her in the leg, then kicks her in the chest. Jamie smashes Candy in the face with a forearm, and she returns fire with her own forearm. Jamie forearm, Candy forearm, Jamie forearm, Candy forearm. Jamie fore.. No! Jamie enzigurui, Candy ducks it and forearms to the back of Jamie’s head! Jamie stumbles forward and then turns around, Candy grabs him and pulls him into a twisting STO, It’s Unsweetened Ending out of nowhere! Cover!

King Flip and Chanel come down the ramp. Flip has his title and brass knuckles on! Candy grabs up her half broken light tube and laughs.

Flip rolls into the ring, jumps out of the way of Candy stabbing his stomach and punches Candy in the jaw with a brass knuckle. Candy stumbles backwards into the ropes, bounces off them and smashes the remainder of the tube over Flip’s head before falling on her face. Flip stumbles backwards already busted open.

Flip leans on the ropes and catches his breath as he pulls broken glass out of his head. Chanel hands Flip his championship and Flip sizes up Candy as she begins to stand, Flip rushes her and slams his title into her face. Flip drags Candy up and knocks her back down with a lariat. He covers.

ONE… KICKOUT BY CANDY.

The X-Tron lights up in a brief pause in the action as the EWC Undisputed Champion herself appears on screen. She’s greeted with a mixed reaction from the crowd before she scrunches her face and shakes her head, patting the championship draped over her shoulder..

Melody Malone: I was hoping I’d be able to address Team Rampage tonight after their abysmal showing at Parabellum but CLEARLY… they all knew exactly what they’d be in for since none of them seem to have the gall to show up on our own show tonight. So while Duggan’s got his little motley crew of people looking to score a quick million bucks off the back of the name of the brand I’ve made famous, I figured I’d drop in and give a little warning to my opponent for Night of Champions…

Melody peers at the camera, almost like she’s searching from the X-Tron itself for Narumi before she lets out a bitter laugh, adjusting the Undisputed championship over her shoulder.

Melody Malone: Oh who am I kidding? I’m not going to find her here. The minute Narumi stepped foot into a Rampage ring, she realized she was well out of her league when she squared up to Lavender. She got bargain factory Melody, and couldn’t hack it…. So she ran back to Prime so she could be the big player amongst the Callie Clarks and the Aeon Khronos’ of the EWC. It’s a bit of a shame, you’d think the soon to be longest reigning Indy champion in EWC would be looking forward to standing toe to toe with me and not hiding away in someone’s backyard in Calgary this weekend playing ninjas and bikers with Damage Inc..

Melody Malone: Guess that means I’ll have to go show her what she’s missing…

In the background, a voice can be heard over a PA System as Melody smirks.

PA System: Now boarding at Gate 69A, flight AC573, nonstop service to Calgary… please have your passports and boarding passes ready.

Melody Malone: See you soon… champ.

Melody stands, now only her hand and a carry-on handle in view as the sound of her high heels is all that can be heard and the X-Tron fades to black.

Xavier Reid comes down the ramp with a chair in hand, King Flip smiles and grabs the chair in the center of the ring. Xavier rolls in and smashes Flip in the head with a chair, Flip stumbles backwards and then smashes Reid back. These two aren’t looking for a long one, just a victory! Reid smash, Flip smash, Reid smash, Reid kicks Flip in the stomach, smash to the back! Smash to the back of the head sends Flip into a front-flip landing on his back!

Reid drags the bloody Flip up into a side-headlock.and pulls him up and goes for the brainbuster onto the chair, Flip rolls out the back and rips Xavier into a German suplex!

Ace King comes walking out on the ramp, a big smile on his face that this is the final match up. Flip is a bloody mess who can’t stand without leaning on the ropes but he too smiles. Ace King rolls into the ring and advances, Flip too advances. They catch each other in a shoulder/collar tie-up, but King is able to take-a-back on the weaker Flip and drag him into a German suplex.
