VENOM

(The lights go off and there's a big explosion followed by fireworks. The lights go on again and on the titantron "VENOM" appears. Then the titantron shows clips of last weeks VENOM. The screen fades to black and we see out two commentators for the evening John Pilchard and Neil Down).

John Pilchard: Goodday people!!! Hello, hello, hello!!! Good to see all of you back again, not only here in the EWCL arena, but also the thousands, or should I say millions sitting in front of the television to see this live VENOM!!! What has tonights VENOM in store for us, Neil?

Neil Down: It has alot in store for us, John!! Think of that contract match between Triple X and The Rage!!! Or think of the Title versus Title match between Tony Canon and Ex-Terminator. We also have Dan Prohibition vs. Max Pain for the Prime Time title. And the main event match is a tagmatch between tagchamps Super Trouper and Vego against Kritical Kondition and Shane Johnson. Oh what about the match between Cazzo/DeLucci against Exile/Punisher, now thats a match I am looking forward to. So much to say about that match.

JP: And don't forget the part that Punisher kidnapped Paco!! The Legion holds the little spanish man somewhere. You see, thats how far the Legion and the Punisher goes to get at Prez Cazzo. Thats how far they take it, kidnapping!! A man that once was a proud FBI member, now goes as low as kidnapping and thats a federal offense.

ND: Yeah, I wonder how little Paco is doing.

(Then the camera goes backstage and we see Prez Cazzo nervously walking around in the lockerroom area. Like stated he looks nervous and he got a confused look on his face. He walks for side to side and then he sees Herbie Hiscock and he goes over to him).

Prez Cazzo: Herbie, I know you know everything that goes around here in the backstage area, any gossips, you know it. So do you know where Paco is????

Herbie: Hate to break it, but I have no clue.

Prez Cazzo: You sure? I mean you don't even have a suggestion or something you overheard in the hallways?

Herbie: All I know is that The Legion got him, I swear thats all I know.

Prez Cazzo: Dammit!! Ok, then Herbie.

(Prez Cazzo continues to walk around in the lockerroom area now. His frown changed from nervousness to anger. All that is on his mind right now is Paco. Where did Punisher take him? Where is he holding him? Did he hurt Paco? Prez Cazzo then decides to walk to Punishers lockerroom. He arrives at Punisher's lockerroom and Cazzo notices that the door is sligtly open. Cazzo pushes the door open and he sees the Punisher laying on the ground)

JP: Oh my GODDD!!! What happend there???? Punisher laying knocked out in his own lockerroom. And hey do you see!! There's a sledgehammer laying on top of him!!! What does that mean?? Who did that???

ND: Well a sledgehammer only means one thing, John.

JP: No, that can't be the case Neil. It can't be!

(Prez Cazzo bends over and grabs Punishers head and shakes it around a bit. He is yelling at Punisher now where Paco is!! But Punisher is still unconscious so nothing comes out of him. Cazzo then lets go of Punishers head, he grabs the sledgehammer and he throws it into the direction of the mirror thats hanging in the lockerroom. The mirror breaks to thousands pieces. Cazzo then leaves Punisher laying on the ground and leaves the lockerroom!!!)

JP: MAN!!! Amazing!!! So I wonder if Punisher gonna be in that match later??

ND: I know. And I wanna know if Cazzo is gonna show up later in that match, I mean he also got other things on his mind.

JP: Well I actually think that Cazzo is gonna show, coz he wants to beat the truth out of Punisher to find out where Paco is. So I think he definately is showing up.

ND: But let us now concentrate on our first match here tonight.


Testicular Instincht vs. Cerberus

JP: Ok, its time for our first match of the night. Neil, tell them.

ND: Ok, John. Well we are gonna see Cerberus going up against the "Burger Burglar" Testicular Instinct. Sofar this individual only impressed us by robbing the local McDonalds. But lets see what he can do here in the ring tonight.

(The lights go out and Testicular Instinct music starts to play. He comes walking out and while he walks to the ring, some peoples start to throw their cokes and food at him. TI then acts like he is turnong around, but then decides to continue his way to the ring and he climbs in)

(Then Highway to Hell starts to play and its time for Cerberus to come out. He gets some cheers as the crowd favours him in this match. Cerberus looks focussed and he slides in the ring)

JP: This match is on. Cerberus and TI lock up and its Cerberus with the first advantage. He knocks TI down with a headbutt and follows that up with a right blow. TI down to the mat. Cerberus picks him up by the hair and sends him in the ropes and counters that with a elbow in the face. Cerberus really on fire here.

ND: Nice way of words there, John. Now Cerberus bodyslams TI into the mat. He climbs the secondturnbuckle and dives off for a legdrop, but ooh TI moves out of the way at the last moment. Ti now on the topturnbuckle himself and he jumps off with a double axe-handle and lands on Cerberus. TI now picks Cerberus up and sends him in the ropes.

JP: Cerberus comes back from the ropes and TI catches him with a clothesline. TI for the cover now, but only a one-count. It takes more to cover the hound for hell.

ND: Yep, thats true allright. Now both men back to their feet again. Its Cerberus who all of a sudden executes a ddt and he hit it hard. TI on the mat and it doesn't look good for him now. Cerberus picks him up and he sends him in the ropes now. TI flies in the ropes that hard that he gets stuck in the ropes. His arms are twisted in the second and third rope. OOh my!!! Cerberus cynically laughs and walks over to TI now.

JP: Cerberus now near TI and he starts handing out fists. And the crowd yells 1...2...3....4...5...6...7...8....9....10...Cerberus then kicks TI in the gut for a few times. Cerberus then bounces back in the ropes, comes back and clotheslines TI through the ropes and TI flies to the outside. TI laying on the concrete floor now and some people from the crowd start swearing at him and again some throw their cokes and food on him.

ND: TI slowly gets back to his feet and he looks at the crowd in disgust. He then turns around and starts walking out of there. He walsk towards the curtains. The crowd starts to boo him even more now, and then Cerberus slides out of the ring and he runs over to TI and nails him from behind. Cerberus then drags TI by the head and rolls him back into the ring.

JP: OOh man that Cerberus really doesn't waiste anytime here. Cerberus goes for TI and oooh yeahhh HELL'S FURY!!!! Cerberus's Finisher move!!!! He's going for the cover now. 1.......2...........3...........yesssss we have a winnner and that winner is Cerberus!!!! A great win for the reasonable newcomer to the EWCL.

ND: Yep, and I think TI needs to focus more on wrestling instead of talking and robbing burger joints.

(Then commercials start)

Winner: Cerberus


Dan Prohibition(c) vs. Max Pain - Prime Time Title

JP: Now after seeing that it is time for our second match. A title match!!! Prime Time Champion Dan Prohibition takes on Max Pain for the title. Thats gonna be something.

ND: Thats true allright, John. Oh and I just wanna add, that there were talks about this match being a hardcore rules match, but apparently the match type has been changed at the last moment, because its a normal standard match. Ok, now lets go to ringside.

(Come with me starts to play and Max Pain comes walking out. The people also start booing him and his cocky arrogant charactar. He walks to the ring, enters it and raises his hands in the air and expects a big cheer, but he doesn't get it).

(One step closer starts to play and Dan Prohibition and Lydia come out. Dan got the titlebelt around his waist, besides that he is holding his stopsign in one hand and his staplegun in the other hand. Lydia looks better again after she got chokeslammed by Bull Dozer two weeks ago. Dan steps in the ring and stares at Pain).

JP: Alright here we go! The two are circling each other sizing up. BOOM! Prohibition and Max Pain tie up with a collar and elbow tie up. Prohibition with a quick armdrag and armbar takes Max Pain down. Prohibition applies pressure but Max Pain makes it over to the ropes and Prohibition releases.

ND: Good Tenichical start by Prohibition but we cant overlook that fact that he's from New York and New Yorkians have a tendency to choke!

JP: Thanks for that tidbit of info. Now back to the match. Both men up and Prohibition moves in for another tie up but gets a boot to the gut. Max Pain with a right hand to the skull of Prohibition sends him back and now an Irish whip by Max Pain. Prohibition comes off the ropes and gets nailed with a devastating flying clothesline.

ND: Impressive display of power there. He really leveled Prohibition. And he's still down as Max Pain grabs him and applies a rear chinlock. Ref's in to make sure it's not a chokehold and after about thirty seconds Max Pain lets go and Prohibition falls flat on the mat.

JP: This match is impressing me so far. Both men giving it a lot. Max Pain with an elbow to the throat, and another and he measures him again and nails a massive legdrop. Max Pain covers for a quick two count and Prohibition kicks out and slides to the outside of the ring. Smart move by Prohibition.

ND: Probably had to check to see if he was wearing underwear. WHOA here we go! Max Pain walks over to the ropes and Prohibition grabs his legs and pulls him to the outside. Prohibition with a barrage of kicks to the back of the head of Max Pain and then he lifts Max Pain up by the hair and whips him into the steel guard rail while the ref continues the count Its getting pretty high.

JP: Prohibition, with cat like prowess, leaps onto the canvas and back into the ring then whips himself into the ropes and comes running to do a wild suicide jump over the ropes onto Max Pain on the outside.

ND: Whoa, whoa, whoa! WHOA. Did you say cat like prowess?

JP: Yes I did...why?

ND: Just checking.

JP: Oooooooooookay. Both men are slow to get up, but Prohibition is up first and tosses Max Pain back into the ring and follows him in. Prohibition picks him up by the hair and does a nice standing drop kick sending Max Pain back down to the mat. Prohibition plays to the crowd a bit then climbs to the top turnbuckle as Max Pain is slowly getting up. Prohibition about to fly gets crotched on the top rope as Max Pain through himself back into the ropes knocking Prohibition off balance.

ND: OWIE OW OW. Prohibition crashes to the mat , and Max Pain, still somewhat dazed goes over to Prohibition and stomps him in the back. He quickly lifts him up to his feet and scoops him up over his shoulder and delivers a powerslam in mid-ring. Max Pain covers for a two count before Prohibition gets a shoulder up. Close call for Prohibition.

JP: VERY CLOSE. Max Pain, with a hand full of hair, lifts Prohibition up to his feet and sets him up for a powerbomb. Max Pain lifts Prohibition up but Prohibition gets out of it and goes down and takes Max Pain down with a drop toe hold, then applies an anklelock. What a great move by Prohibition.

ND: Max Pain is in a lot of pain, SCREAM BOY SCREAM as Prohibition inches in the anklelock even tighter and scoots him back, further from the ropes. Max Pain is reaching for the ropes but to no avail. The crowd begins to cheer Max Pain on and with one last minute effort he grabs the ring ropes and the ref demands that Prohibition let go of the hold. Man that boy is gotta be hurting now.

JP: Prohibition again begins to kick the back of Max Pain and centers in on that ankle that he just worked on with a massive stomp to the ankle. In pain, Max Pain slowly falls outside of the ring and tries to get up but is having problems Real smart moves by Prohibition.

ND: Now the Prohibition slides out of the opposite side and tosses a stopsign into the ring. WHICH ISNT LEGAL!!!! Once back into the ring Prohibition stands the stopsign up in mid ring which I repeat IS NOT LEGAL then runs into the ropes jumps off the stopsign, perches onto the top rope and suicide dives down onto Max Pain, but this time to no avail as Max Pain moved just in time causing Prohibition go head first into the guardrail which is both painful AND legal.

JP: Max Pain up now and he grabs the back of Prohibition's head and smashes into the guard rail two more times before sending him back into the ring holding his throat. Max Pain in quick and wraps Prohibition up for a brutal belly to belly suplex. Max Pain now picks up the stopsign that Prohibition jumped off up earlier and begins to cock back to nail Prohibition but the ref grabs the stopsign, now Max Pain and the ref are arguing while Prohibition is coming back to life. Not a good thing for Max Pain, he should have not tried that.

ND: MOSTLY CAUSE ITS NOT LEGAL! But Prohibition's up and Max Pain has cornered the ref into one of the corners and Prohibition slides back and then charges at Max Pain performing an Air Prohibition type maneuver which sandwiches both Max Pain and the ref in the corner and sends them both down hard to the mat. The ref is down!

JP: Prohibition grabs Max Pain and signals for it! THERE IT IS! STRAIGHT EDGE SPIKE!!! Prohibition covers...1...2...3...4.. THERES NO REF!!! Prohibition jumps off and grabs the ref. He's yelling at him telling him to get up. Prohibition goes back to Max Pain picks up OH MY LOW BLOW BY Max Pain! Prohibition hurting now!

ND: Oh man that's gotta make Prohibition's kilt even MORE uncomfortable! Max Pain grabs the hunched over Prohibition and HERE WE GO! Max Pain's got Prohibition in postion..POWERBOMB! Max Pain covers, but that's gotta be it. 1...2..KICKOUT BY Prohibition!!!!!

JP: What resiliency by Prohibition. Max Pain is fuming! He pushing the ref and yelling right in his face. Prohibition is pulling himself up using the ring ropes. Max Pain turns around to Prohibition and is met with a right hand then a left Max Pain block the next right and swings back with his own, Prohibition ducks and kicks Max Pain STRAIGHT EDGE SPIKE!!!!!!!!! Prohibition Covers 1...2...3!!!!!!!! Prohibition WINS!!!

ND: What a win for the champ!!! Dan Prohibition raises his hands in the air. He then climbs out of the ring and together with Lydia he walks back to the backstage area. But wait, there's someone standing there at the end of the aisle!! In front of the curtains there's a shadow!! Who is that?

JP: I know who that is!! Its Morning Star!!!

ND: Ooh you mean TAFKABD - The Artist Formerly Known As Bull Dozer!!!

JP: Yes, HIM!!! He attacked and chokeslammed Lydia two weeks ago and he did the same to Barbie Jones last week. Then after Tony Canon beat him unconscious with a steelchair he was brought into the hospital. But when he got back to conscious he was no longer Bull Dozer, nooooo, he woke up as Morning Star!!!

ND: Talking about split personalities.

JP: But lets see whats going on here. Morning Star only stands there and he stares at Dan and Lydia, who stopped. Morning Star then points at Lydia. And we see that Lydia is terrified now and she hangs on Dan for help! Morning Star then just disappears again behind the curtains!

ND: Oh man, what a figure that Morning Star!! Wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

JP: My thoughts exactly.

(Then commercials start)

Winner: Dan Prohibition


Ex-Terminator(c) vs. Tony Canon(c) - Title vs. Title match

JP: Now a very intresting match, Neil. A title versus title match. Internet Champion Ex-Terminator faces Hardcore Champion Tony Canon. Its a title versus title match, so both titles on the line here.

ND: Yeah, but the remarkable thing is that the winner of this match can decide which title he wants to keep. The winner can only keep one title.

(Seek and destroy starts to play and Ex-Terminator comes walking out. He got the Internet belt on his shoulder and he makes his way to the ring. When then enters the ring and waits for Canon).

(Moments later Man in a box by Alice in Chains starts to play and Hardcore champion The Bigguns Tony Canon comes out. He is escorted by Barbie Jones. Even though she is pregnant and got chokeslammed by Bull Dozer last week, she still is out here to support her man).

JP: Thats one brave young woman, to come out here after what happend last week.

(Canon slides in the ring and he and Ex-T lock up)

JP: This match is on!!! Title versus Title, that sounds promising. Canon and Ex-T just locked up and now it is Ex-T who has the first advantage. He knocks Canon to the mat and picks him up again and delivers a few chops to the chest. Canon then counters with a right punch, Ex-T counters that again with a right punch of his own. Both men are now handing out rights at eachother. Then Ex-T spears Canon to the mat and lands on top off him. Ex-T starts choking Canon now.

ND: Ex-T continues to choke Canon, but the ref makes him break the hold. Ex-T gets back to his feet and he lifts Canon up and he whips him into the ropes. Canon comes back and oooh shouldertackle by Ex-T. Ex-T really has the best beginning here. Ex-T for the cover now. 1......2.....but a kickout by Canon. Ex-T lifts Canon up again and he goes for a suplex, but Canon blocks it and performs a suplex of his own.

JP: Canon reasonable quickly back up and he bounces in the ropes and kneedrops on Ex-T. Canon now picks Ex-T up and oooh sitout piledriver!! Canon now on fire. After Ex-T got the early advantage, Canon is on top now. Canon grabs Ex-T by the head and delivers a few punches to the head, Ex-T staggers but he doesn't go down. Canon then bounces in the ropes and bammmm with a clothesline he takes Ex-T down to the mat.

ND: Canon with a boot to the face now. And now it is Canon who is choking his opponent now. He chokes Ex-T with his boot. Again the ref breaks the choke hold. Canon then stomps Ex-T in the head. Canon wants to kick Ex-T in the head again, but this time Ex-T saw it coming and he grabbed Canon's leg. Ex-T gets to his feet and he is still holding Canon's leg. But ooooh enziguiri by Canon!!! Canon now with the cover. 1.......2.......kickout.

JP: Canon and Ex-T now lock up once again. Canon whips Ex-T in the corner and he charges in after, but Ex-T lifts his leg up and Canon flies face first into the big boot. Canon goes down to the mat and Ex-T climbs the second turnbuckle and delivers a legdrop on Canon. Ex-T now picks Canon up and he lifts him on the topturnbuckle. Ex-T climbs on right after. Ex-T wants to superplex Canon, but ooooooh yeahhhhh....

ND: Canon reversed it and executes a tornado ddt!!!! OOOH MAN what a move!!!! Both men out on the mat now. After about 6 seconds it is Canon who is the first who gets back to his feet. He goes for the cover, but only gets a two count. Now it is Canon who picks Ex-T up and lifts him on the topturnbuckle. Canon climbs on it aswell and grabs Ex-T. But oooooh MANNNN!!! This time it is Ex-T who reverses the move and now he hooks in a superplex move and wowwww he executes it!!!!

JP: What an impact!!!! What a bangg!!!! I think Canon bounced up a couple of feet from the banggg!!! Ex-T goes for the cover now. This could be it, I tell you, this could be it!!! Ex-T for the cover. 1...........2............but Canon kicks out at the very last second. Wow, how did he got out of that??? Ex-T can't believe it, he thought he had the win here. He is shaking his head. Concentrate back on the match Ex-T!!! Thats all I can say to him.

ND: Ex-T picks Canon up again, but a lowblow by Canon. Canon follows that up with a sky high!!!! Both men cold out on the mat again now. Canon slowly tries to get to one knee, the same with Ex-T.

(Then from backstage a superstar comes running down the aisle. It is Morning Star again. He runs over to ringside and goes after Barbie Jones).

JP: Nooooo, not again!!!! What is he doing here again??? Didn't he do enough to that poor little girl last week????!!!??? Morning Star (like we said before, the transformation of Bull Dozer) goes over to Barbie Jones and she is to afraid to run away. She is just standing there with the fear in her eyes!!! Morning Star got this evil grin on his face now. What is he gonna do????!!!!??? Is he gonna chokeslam her again or what???

ND: I sure hope not!!! Morning Star now grabs Barbie Jones by the throat and he is gonna do it again!!!! But in the ring Tony Canon got back to his feet and he sees whats going on, on the outside and he slides to the outside. He comes up behind Morning Star and just before Morning Star wants to chokeslam Barbie Jones, Canon nails him in the back of the head with a punch. Morning Star lets go of Barbie and she seeks cover behind Jay Blue. Yup, smart move.

JP: Morning Star and Canon are handing out fists at eachother right now! But then Ex-T mingles himself into the brawl. And he clotheslines Canon from behind. Morning Star kicks Canon in the stomache for a few times and then takes off and leaves ringside. Boy, did that Morning Star made an entrance. He is pure evil, man, what a bad man!!! Ex-T picks Canon up and all Canon is doing is looking around. He wants to see if Barbie is doing allright.

ND: He then sees her standing next to Jay Blue and she looks ok, except for the tears in her eyes. Cano then looks back at Ex-T, but gets a fist in his eye right away. Ex-T grabs Canon's head and ramms it into the apron. Ex-T then sends Canon into the ringsteps and he flies in shoulderfirst. Ex-T grabs Canon by the head again and we can see that Canon still isn't totally in the match anymore. He's probly only thinking of Barbie and Morning Star.

JP: Ex-T rolls Canon back into the ring now and follows in after. Ex-T doesn't waste anytime and he lifts Canon up for a piledriver and executes it!!! He goes for the cover. 1........2......but kickout by Canon. Ex-T now sends Canon in the ropes, he comes back and oooh Canon counters with a frankensteiner!!! OOOOOh MAN!!!! Where did that move came from???!!! Out of nowhere!!!

ND: Canon is trying to get back up. He gets back to his feet and he picks Ex-T up and oooooh yessss CANON FIRE!!!! His finisher, the even flow ddt, and he executed it on Ex-T!!!!! Canon now for the cover. Can he pull it off??? Canon for the cover. 1.............2.................3.................yeahhhhhhhhh Tony Canon won this match!!!!! He won the title versus title match here!!! Canon slowly rises up and raises his hands and he looks at Barbie, who actually is smiling a bit now.

JP: The ref comes over and hands the two titles over to Tony Canon and Canon raises both titles high up in the air. But like mentioned before this match started. Canon can only keep one title, he can decide himself which title he wants to keep. The other title will be vacated and will be put on the line at the TOUGH LOVE PPV in two weeks!!! Canon probly chooses for the Internet Title, but then again he doesn't have to decide that now. He got a few days to think over which title he wants to keep.

ND: But what a win here!!! But I don't think that Canon forgets about Morning Star. Man, what a ladies man, huh!

JP: Yeah right.

(Commercials)

Winner: Tony Canon


Triple X vs. The Rage - Contract Match

(The camera swings low over the screaming mass of humanity packed inside the arena like sardines in a tin. 'Ladies and gentlemen.' The announcer begins. 'Drag You Down' hits, cutting the announcer off in mid-sentence. The camera pans about to the Jumbo Screen as the lights begin to blaze dark green. The screen flashes with scenes of 'The One Man Rampage'. Every few seconds a pair of dark eyes appear across the screen, to be replaced by a brilliantly executed Hylighter. From behind the black EWCL curtain steps Triple X, his long blonde hair hanging over his well-muscled shoulders. The crowd begins to boo loudly as this loose canon stops at the edge of the ramp, staring dangerously out at the crowd. Finally, after several moments, he walks slowly down to the ring, circling first like a bird of prey before entering.)

JP: Looks like it's time for our Contract Match here tonight! This should be something special for the crowd! Triple X versus The Rage! Two of the hottest young stars in our industry, and no doubt destined for great things if they can survive here.

ND: Triple X is a killer! I heard he choked the last guy he wrestled against to death with his own arm! Quick, somebody call security!

JP: These two have quite a history, and I don't think we're privy to all of it. not by a long shot. The Rage returned to the world of professional wrestling just one week ago to an overwhelming crowd reaction! And what a night that was..

(A vignette is shown, commencing with the explosion of The Rage's music after Triple X's title match. The camera focuses on Triple X's livid visage as the color fades to grey. Then last week, 'American Bad Ass', and the return of the 'Whole G*ddamn Show'. One line. 'I'm gonna f*ck you up.' A flare of color as Triple X bursts from the backstage area to attack Rage. Cazzo. the contract stipulation. The scene fades to black.)

JP: The Rage, a former XPCW Heavyweight Champion who blames Triple X for the downfall of his Federation, and in many ways his 'spot'. Triple X, a former ally who'll do anything, walk through Hell itself, to put this man underground! This ought to be a barn-burner folks! (Standing dead centre in the ring, Triple X raises a fist to a boisterous crowd reaction. none of it good.)

(The lights in the packed arena flicker and die, like candles in a strong breeze. Several hundred feet above the roaring mass, the roof of the auditorium lights up, dark blue flash-globes flickering like anxious fireflies. The moment the fans have been waiting for arrives with a bone-jarring thud as a tremendous explosion rocks the packed hall and the pyro at the front of the stage explodes. Cascading flames roar back and forth in front of the ramp, and music blasts suddenly from the giant speakers positioned strategically about the crowd. Building frantically, the familiar opening chords of Kid Rock's 'American Bad Ass', sans vocals, abruptly capture the attention of the fans. The Titantron bursts into life, the inferno of flames licking the top of the screen, threatening to engulf it, while faintly in the background flash ghastly images of destruction. carnage, blood, devastation. and then a silhouette, black against the flames. The crowd pops deafeningly, the arena on its feet, attempting in vain to drown out the music with its cheers. Finally, as the music pauses momentarily, before the charge, four words flash blindingly in white across the Jumbo Screen, leaving the familiar imprint of lightning upon the vision of the fans... 'The Revelation is Here'. The hall blackens.)

(The stage lights up in blue as 'American Bad Ass' kicks into gear. The Rage stands below the Titantron, eyes blazing, head lowered. The fans ignite, lifting the roof. His ebon gaze sweeps slowly across the arena, and he inhales deeply, soaking up the crowd pump. He wastes no more time, making his way down to the ring in short order.)

JP: Triple X ain't gonna wait on the big man! He's out of the ring and racing up the ramp. OH WOW! Rage levels him with one almighty punch! Triple X is up, and put down again! And again! Triple X is getting to his knees. LOW BLOW on Rage! Rage stumbles back. and they haven't even rung the bell yet!

ND: Well, not in so many words..

JP: Triple X is on the offensive. He's putting Rage's head into the guardrail. Triple X throws him into the opposite rail. Rage is holding his back. He's hurt.

ND: Already? How come we spent so much on his entrance?

JP: Have a heart Neil! This man hasn't wrestled in the better part of a year. Triple is dragging Rage towards the stage below the Titantron. He raises an arm. he's gonna piledrive him! Not on the metal! WAIT! Rage reverses. OH! Triple X flipped over on to the unforgiving steel! Rage drags him up. snapmare! He's locking him into some kind of reverse sleeper. but Triple X is fighting back. he's struggling to his feet. OUCH! He drops a jaw-breaker! Rage has let go.

ND: There goes that nice smile.

JP: Triple X grabs The Rage by the hair and heads towards the ring. looks like we may just get this thing officially under way. Triple X rolls Rage into the ring. He follows him in. but. Rage pulls his legs out from under him! He's on top of him, beating Triple X mercilessly! He pulls 'The One Man Rampage' to his feet. sends him into the ropes. Rage nails Triple X with a tremendous standing dropkick! That's amazing for a man his size. Triple X is groggy. he stumbles into the ropes. CROSS-BODY BLOCK OVER THE TOP OF THE ROPES! They're both on the floor! That didn't last long!

ND: They're not coming over here, are they John?!

JP: I just hope they reinforced this table for tonight. I don't think these two are gonna keep it gentlemanly. Rage has got a hold of Triple X, he's sending him into the barrier. wait, Triple X reverses. RAGE IS SENT HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! He's shaking off the haze. the referee is trying to get both men back into the ring.

ND: You'd have better luck keeping Jenna Jameson celibate!

JP: Triple X has got him up. SUPLEX ON TO THE CONCRETE! Those floors are hard folks.! There's no give! Rage is holding his back. after the punishment it's already taken, that may have really hurt him. He's struggling towards the ring post. Triple X is advancing. What's this, Rage has got Triple X by the tights. he's pulling him! OW! Head first into the ring post over Rage's head!

ND: I always thought Triple X had a slightly protruding nose..

JP: Well, not anymore Neil. Rage is up, he's got a hold of Triple X's hair. he's tossed him back into the ring. Rage is up on the apron, onto the top rope! My GAWD! ELBOW OF THE TOP ROPE! This has got to be it..

ND: If Triple X has any sense, he'll stay down.

JP: He's going for the pin.1.2. Kick out! It's gonna take a little more'n that to keep Triple X down. Rage has got him to his feet again. he's sending him into the ropes, he drops to the mat under him as he comes back, off the other ropes again. reverse atomic drop!

ND: Oh the indignity of it!

JP: I don't know about indignity, but I think I can anticipate the soreness.

ND: If he still has anything to be aching!

JP: Good point Neil. Triple X is staggering. Rage is moving in. HUGE LARIAT to nail Rage! He was playing possum! Does he have enough left to capitalise now? Wait, he's got Rage up. OH! PUMP HANDLE SLAM! He's signalling for. the Hylighter! If he connects with this, it's over! The crowd is going wild. they're really getting into this match!

ND: This crowd'd cheer for a seal with a colored ball..

JP: What are you talking about? Wait, he's going for it! HE CONNECTED! That' s got to be it! He's pulled up the leg. this is over. but what a great match. one.two. thr. WAIT! The referee has stopped the count. Rage has a leg on the ropes! What a close call! Triple X can't believe it. he was sure this was over.

ND: It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings. and I haven't seen your mother here tonight John!

JP: That is in really poor taste Neil. just do your job.

ND: Sorry.

JP: Triple X has Rage up. he's sending him into the corner. RAGE REVERSES! He's mounting the corner. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9. he pauses, calling to the crowd. They roar! 10!

ND: Even Bill would be a little punch-drunk after that many blows!

JP: What? Oh Gawd! Please. you kiss your wife with that mouth? Rage has got Triple X in the centre of the ring. from behind. spinning back drop. He's going to the ropes. knee drop onto Triple X's face! He's going for the pin. One. two. Kick out!

(Suddenly there is a disturbance in the crowd. A man hops the railing by the announcers' table. Clad in a yellow t-shirt and black jeans, he is not a tall man, but well-built for his size.)

JP: What. what's going on?!

(The man grabs the ring bell, sliding under the bottom rope as Rage drags Triple X to his feet.)

ND: I don't think Rage has seen him.

JP: The fans are going nuts. they know this guy! Rage is hooking Triple X up for the Revelation! But.

(The man with the ring bell nails Rage with a vicious blow to the back of the head. Rage goes down hard as the referee calls for the bell. There is, of course, no bell to sound, but nonetheless the ring announcer gets on the mic.)

Jay Blue: And your winner. as the result of a disqualification. THE RAGE!

(The scowling man with the ring bell motions for Triple X to get Rage up, and 'The One Man Rampage' does so with relish. As he holds him there, the other nails Rage once again with a brutal blow to the face. The Rage crumples.)

JP: This is disgusting. somebody make this stop! They're gonna kill him.!

ND: I think they may have already!

JP: This was never about a contract! It was a set-up from the start.. That. that man is Achilles! Another former XPCW alumni, and a man who at one time was an enemy of 'The One Man Rampage'!

ND: They don't look like enemies to me John!

JP: You're right Neil, they don't! The Rage and Achilles had the most incredible Iron Man Match the night of The Rage's Heavyweight victory. a match The Rage won with the help of a young woman!

ND: Did we ever find out who that girl was?

JP: No we didn't. and I don't think Achilles has forgotten the loss either from the looks of it!

(Inside the ring, Achilles and Triple X lay into The Rage with vicious kick after vicious kick. The Rage takes an almighty beating as the referee attempts to stop Achilles and Triple X from their slaughter. Triple X shoves the referee out of the way and motions for Achilles to get Rage up. Achilles drags the bloodied victim to his feet as Triple X nails Rage with the Hylighter.)

JP: OH DEAR GOD, make them stop! This man has a family!

(Achilles locks on his cross-body ankle lock, the Achilles heel, but The Rage is out. Triple X continues to lay into The Rage with boot after boot, followed by multiple blows to the back of the head with the ring bell.)

JP: Here come the paramedics! And about time.. I just can't believe what we' re seeing. This has been the most brutal display! It's just sickening.

(Finally Achilles lets go his hold and stands with Triple X over the fallen, bloody Rage. Achilles raises Triple X's hand in victory. 'Drag You Down' hits, and Achilles gives The Rage one final kick as he and Triple X leave the ring under a hail of popcorn containers, empty bear cups and other assorted implements.)

JP: The paramedics are taking The Rage out of here on a stretcher. I. I just can't believe what happened here.

ND: I can't believe that Achilles is here in the EWCL. I don't think he has a contract either!

JP: Doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.

ND: When did they implement this open-door policy? Did I miss the staff memo?

Winner: The Rage by dq


Cazzo/Tony DeLucci vs. Exile/Punisher

JP: Now it is gonna happen. The match alot of people have been waiting for. In one corner we are gonna see Prez Cazzo and Tony DeLucci and in the other corner we are gonna see Royal Family member Exile and The Legion member The Punisher. And we all know that all four people here got a history with eachother, all four people have scores to settle.

ND: Damn right, John. This is gonna be the brawl of the century. Thats if its gonna take place. Remember that Punisher was flat out in his lockkerroom earlier this evening. And next to that Prez Cazzo is still on the search for Paco.

JP: Well there's only one way to find out, is there. Lets get this match starting.

(Damned if I do by Life Of Agony starts to play and Prez Cazzo and Tony DeLucci come out. On their way to the ring we see that Prez Cazzo is asking questions to people in the audience. He probly wants to know if they know where Paco is. Cazzo seems really desperate to find out where his best friend is. After a while Cazzo and DeLucci enter the ring).

(Then Extreme Days by DC Talk starts to play and Royal Family member Exile comes walking out. In his cocky arrogant way he starts walking to the ring. People start booing him, and some even spit at him, but Exile takes it with a smile and it seems he even enjoys that kind of attention. He then slides into the ring and waits in the opposite corner. Exile and Cazzo and DeLucci are staring at eachother now).

JP: They better wait for The Punisher first.

(Then "Invasion" starts to play. But nobody comes out from behind the curtains. Nobody comes out. Everyone one is wondering if The Punisher is going to show "Invasion" starts again and then The Punisher appears on the titantron).

The Punisher: Hey Cazzo. I bet you're waiting for me to come down for the match. And I guess you wanna know where Paco is, huh, hahaha. See I told you that there was no way in hell, that I was going to team up with The Royal Family. Especially what happend to me earlier tonight. So I'm not coming but Tony De'Lucci if you got the grapefruits to face me. I challenge you to an Indian Strap Match next week. Our wrists tied together with a 8 foot strap . As for tonight, DeLucci if you want me, grab Neil Down and a referee. I'm waiting in the garage if you got the balls. As for Cazzo and Exile, I guess we'll finally see the match scheduled for last week.

(The image fades out)

ND: What the hell??

JP: My thoughts exactly!!!

ND: Yeah man, there's no way that I am gonna go back to the garage.

JP: Neil!!!.......In the ring we see that DeLucci wants to get out of the ring and to make his way to the back to face Punisher. But just when he wants to climb out, Prez Cazzo stops him. He is talking to DeLucci, shaking his head and pointing his finger to the back and to Exile. He probly trying to make clear to DeLucci that he has his match with Punisher next week and that Cazzo wants to go after Punisher now to find out where Paco is. Finally DeLucci nods his head.

ND: And we see that Cazzo stares one more time at Exile and points at him and then he slides out of the ring and runs back to the lockerroom area. So Exile and Tony DeLucci are the only ones left in the ring. So again we are not gonna see Exile and Cazzo fighting eachother. Man, everytime its something else that comes between it. Cazzo is gone now and Exile charges in at DeLucci right away.

JP: Yep, no love lost between the two of them. Remember that DeLucci was once a member of the Royal Family and was responsible for Joe Johnson to leave the EWCL. Exile clotheslines DeLucci to the mat. Exile in the ropes and a elbow drop on DeLucci. Exile quickly picks DeLucci up by the hair and woww he spits in DeLucci's face!!! Thats not really sportmenship.

ND: Well this is professional wrestling, John. Who has ever heard of good sportsmenship?? Exile sends DeLucci in the corner and climbs on him and hands out a number of punches. The crowd counts 1....2...3...4..5..6...7...8..and then Exile stops. Exile lifts DeLucci up and powerslams him into the mat. Exile on the topturnbuckle now and woowwww a moonsault on DeLucci!!! This could be over quickly. Exile for the cover. 1.........2..........but a kickout.

JP: Exile picks DeLucci up, but DeLucci counters with an elbow in the face of Exile. DeLucci with a ddt that sends Exile to the mat. DeLucci grabs Exile by the head and walks over to the corner and sends Exile's head into the turnbuckle for about 6 times. DeLucci then sends Exile into the opposite corner and he charges in right after and splashes on Exile. DeLucci again whips Exile into the opposite corner. And once more he charges in after, but this time Exile read the move and gets out of the way in time.

ND: OOOh DeLuccci flies shoulderfirst into the corner. Exile follows that up by executing a reverse ddt. Exile again quickly to his feet and he grabs DeLucci by the head and he throws him over the toprope to the outside. Exile to the outside aswell now and he grabs DeLucci and sends him into the guardrail. DeLucci must feel that in his back. Exile grabs a chair and walks over to DeLucci. The ref is shouting to the outside that its illegal.

JP: Exile looks over to the ref and then turns back to DeLucci. DeLucci could take advantage of that moment and rakes Exile in the eye and Exile drops the chair. DeLucci follows that up with a clothesline. Now DeLucci picks Exile up and ooooh he goes for a powerbomb on the concrete floor. And yessssss DeLucci just did it!!!!! A powerbomb on the concrete floor!!! Impressive!!!

ND: DeLucci now picks Exile up and he lays him on the spanish announce table. He climbs on aswell and he hooks in another powerbomb. But ooooh Exile gets out of the hold, kicks DeLucci in the gut and oooooooh hell yeah!!!!! Belly to belly overhead suplex by Exile.........and..............BAMMMMMMM.......they go right through our table!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! Did you see that??!!??? A belly to belly overhead suplex through the table!!!!

JP: Both men are knocked out, but that especially took alot out of DeLucci. After about 20 seconds later Exile is back on his feet and he drags DeLucci to the ring and rolls him in. Exile in the ring aswell now and he goes for the cover. 1........2.......but foot on the rope by DeLucci. Exile picks DeLucci up and oooooh THE OUTCAST by Exile!!!! Exile's lethal finisher!!!! Exile again for the cover. 1..............2..............3..........YEAH Exile won this match!!!!!

ND: Yeah, this match wasn't that long, but pretty exciting!!! I'm still thinking of that belly to belly overhead suplex through our table!!!!

JP: Exile raises his hands and he spits at DeLucci one more time.

ND: I wonder whats going on backstage.

(Right at that moment we see Prez Cazzo running down the hallways and after a while he arrives in the garage. He enters the garage and what he sees doesn't look good. In the middle of the garage he sees Paco sitting on a chair and he is tied up and he's gagged. Paco doesn't look good, he got bloodmarks on his clothes and some cuts in his face. Cazzo quickly walks over to him so he can untie him. But at that moment the lights go off. A few seconds later the lights come back on again and we Cazzo standing in the middle of the garage and he is surrounded by 4 people. He is surrounded by the four Legionaires. He is surrounded by The Punisher, Dawg Fase, Mauler and Morning Star and they all got some sort of weapon in their hands.

Prez Cazzo starts yelling at them for kidnapping Paco and that the Legion is scum and that kind of things. But then the four Legion members move closer to Cazzo and at the same moment charge into him and attack him. All four Legion members are pounding at Cazzo now. Cazzo is on his knees now and after a couple of blows he goes down to the ground. They continue to beat on Cazzo till he isn't moving anymore. He is busted open and unconscious now!!! The Legion members then decide that they did enough damage. But just before they leave Mauler moves over to Paco and ramms him with a shovel and the tied up Paco falls down to the ground and lands right next to Cazzo).

JP: OOOOH NOOOOOO!!! This can't be possible!!! This isn't happening!!! Somebody get some help there for the two of them. You see, it probly was all a setup. Punisher knew that Cazzo was gonna come out and not DeLucci. I think thats what he anticipated!!! Ooooh man, they really beat the crap out of Cazzo there.

ND: I got no words for it, John.

(Then commercials start)

Winner: Exile


Super Trouper/Vego vs. Kritical Kondition/Shane Johnson

JP: Ok, we are back from the commercials and meanwhile I heard that paramedics found Cazzo and Paco. Man, The Legion sure did some damage there.

ND: But let us now focuss on this tagmatch. Tagteamchampions Super Trouper and Vego gonna have to face Universal Champion Kritical Kondition and Shane Johnson. We still don't know if this one is for the titles or not.

JP: I just heard that it IS a title match, Neil.

ND: Ok, then.

(Bleed the freak starts to play and Kritical Kondition and Shane Johnson come walking out. The two Royal Family members make their way to the ring and slide in).

(Then Between angels and insects starts to play and Super Trouper and Vego come out with their tagbelts. They finally reach the ring and get in).

JP: Super Trouper and Vego slide in the ring and they use their title belts to nail KK and Shane with it. KK and Shane are overwhelmed here. ST and Vego then drop the belts and the ref kicks them out of the ring. ST flings KK into the ropes and cathes him with a gut shot. From there, he applies a russian legsweep on KK. Shane and Vego both got back to their corners. ST drops two standing elbows on KK. He picks KK up and brings him over to his corner. He makes the tag to Vego.

ND: Vego comes in and gives KK a smashing forearm to the chest. Vego tries an irish whip but KK reverses it. KK tries to clothesline, but Vego ducks it and does a standing dropkick on KK. Shane comes in, but Vego karatekicks him back to the mat. Vego turns his attention back to KK and makes another tag to ST. ST whips KK into the ropes and cathes him in an inverted atomic drop. ST picks KK up again, but KK lowblows him. KK follows that up with a german suplex.

JP: Now KK whips ST in the ropes and performs a diving clothesline to take him out. KK then tags in Shane. Shane climbs on the topturnbuckle right away and dives off and executes a spinning headscissors on ST. Shane goes for the cover now, but only gets a two count. Shane now picks ST up and whips him in the ropes, but ST catches him with a big boot to the face. ST then tags in Vego.

ND: Vego comes in and oooh judo flip. Vego grabs Shane again and whips him in the ropes, but Shane counters and comes back and delivers a spinning neckbreaker on Vego. Shane bounces in the ropes and comes back and does a summersault and lands on Vego. Shane for the tag now and KK comes in. Shane and KK whip Vego in the ropes and double backdrop him to the mat. Shane then steps out and KK picks Vego up and executes a northern lights suplex.

JP: KK then pushes Vego in his own corner and signals that he should tag ST in. Vego first hesitates but then he tags his partner in. ST steps in and he and KK lock up. ST then waistlocks KK, but KK reverses the waistlock. KK wants to go for another german suplex, but ST elbows him in the face in time. ST then lifts KK up and bodyslamms him back into the mat. ST now grabs KK and sends him in the ropes again and when he comes back he hooks in a sleeperhold.

ND: KK is grasping for air now. But ST got it hooked in prettty good. But hey Shane gets in and climbs the topturnbuckle and woowww he does a missile dropkick and nails ST in the back, and both ST and KK go down. The ref then makes Shane go back to his corner. After 8 seconds ST and KK get back to their feet and they both bounce in the rope and double clothesline eachother and they both go down!!!

JP: Again it takes awhile befor the two are back up again. ST whips KK in the ropes, KK comes back and ooh flying headbutt by ST. ST then tags in Vego. Vego goes over to KK and executes a japanese armdrag. Vego then climbs the topturnbuckle and ooooh he goes for his FATE finisher. He dives off for the 450 summersault into karatekick. But KK moves out of the way in time. And when Vego is back on the mat he lifts him up and executes his butterfly bomb!!!!

ND: KK tags in Shane and Shane charges in and does a hurricanrana on Vego. Shane whips Vego in the ropes and when he comes back he ddt's Vego to the mat. ST comes in, but KK also gets in the ring and he and ST go after eachother. OOh some severe blows are handed out there.

JP: KK is working on ST and ooooh Shane just ddt'ed Vego to the mat. Shane then starts climbing the topturnbuckle. Shane is standing on the topturnbuckle and signals his Resurrection!!! But just when he wants to dive off there is something happening on the aisle. It seems that there are some people coming to the ring. Man, all these involvements. But who can it be?? It would be weird for the Royal Family to intrude and well ST and Vego aren't part of any group actually. Although they are linked to Team EWCL. But Team EWCL got their own problems.

ND: The two people coming down the aisle to the ring are Ex-Terminator and someone I don't recognise.

JP: OOh I recognise him. It is the Perfectionist. I heard he was one of the top guys of the IWL, before it closed. So Ex-T and the Perfectionist coming in. Ex-T goes for KK and the Perfectionist goes for Shane and drags him of the topturnbuckle. Oooh man now its 4 against two. It are ST and Ex-T working on KK and it are Vego and Perfectionist working on Shane.

The ref motions to ringkeeper and 'ding ding ding' the bell rings and Jay Blue announces.

Jay Blue: Super Trouper and Vego have been disqualified!!!! The winners of this match are KK and Shane Johnson!!!

JP: Well that isn't really helping them right now, actually.

ND: I know,John. We now see that those four people, ST, Vego, Ex-T and the Perfectionist grab the tagbelts and they leave ringside and they leave KK and Shane laying in the ring.

JP: Oh man, all the stuff we saw here tonight. Can it get any worse? But what is on my mind now. Are these guys forming a new team or what? And are there more people involved in this? I wonder, I really wonder!! Coz now come to think of it. there was a rumour going on that a new group was gonna unite, but what I heard was that it weren't just 4 members, but more.

ND: I guess we will find out more of that the coming week or next VENOM, John.

JP: I know, Neil. Now its time for us to say goodbye!!!

Winners: Kritical Kondition and Shane Johnson by Dq
