(The gold and white EWCL logo flashes across the screen, rolling from left to right. A beat starts… slow at first, but growing in intensity. Suddenly a speck appears on the screen, screaming forwards, getting larger and larger until it becomes legible… the EWCL logo. The whining screech increases in intensity until it appears to SMASH through the viewer's television screen. Shattering glass provides the background sound as the EWCL theme kicks into gear. A montage of the EWCL superstars overlayed in blue, red, green and gold flashes across the screen. Prez Saphio, Universal Champion Sean Corvik, Exile, Joe Johnson, Mystic, Blade and more. Scenes of violence, carnage and action as only the EWCL can provide barrages the viewers until finally the Venom logo spins in to view, only to be crushed by the EWCL trademark).

John Pilchard: Hello everybody!! Its Venom time once again. I am John Pilchard and this is Neil Down and we are looking forward to another spectacular night right here in the EWCL. So what was your biggest moment from last weeks PPV Beware the Whispers, Neil?

Neil Down: My biggest moment didn't happen at Beware The Whispers, John. It happend a few days ago. A few days ago we saw that our beloved Prez Saphio was on the phone with noone else but .....The Miraculous One Danny Christ. Thats the best news I have heard in months.

JP: It was only a phone conversation, nothing to it Neil.

ND: Nothing to it? Nothing to it? It means everything.

JP: Ok, then I will say something about last weeks Beware The Whispers. The first PPV of the year was a great extravaganza. We had some great matches, surprises, everything that a wrestling night needs.

ND: Hey, don't forget the blood.

JP: Oh, how could I forget that. And tonight we have 6 matches in store for you. The main event match Dan Prohibition and The Punisher versus Saphio and Sean Corvik. A hardcore titlematch between Blade and Iman Sain. Joe Johnson will take on past rival Damien Black, Arcane Syth will face, yeah who is he gonna face? Will it be Scandalous or someone else?..

ND: It won't be Fazzer, hehe.

JP: Also Steel Brasco will defend his Prime Time Title for the first time against Mystic. And to start off we will see a tagmatch between The New Era against Mo' Bad and Ace Powers.

JP: Last week after The New Era lost to Joe Johnson and Blade in that tagmatch for the tagtitles, we saw that Mo'Bad and Ace Powers came out and they kidnapped The Zer0. They dragged The Zer0 out of here and well I have no clue what happend next to him. Do you Neil?

ND: Nope, no clue at all. But well I think it will be clear soon enough.

JP: Yes, you are right about that one. The new rising tagteam of the EWCL will take on Mo'Bad and Ace Powers. Mo'Bad had one match in the EWCL sofar a few weeks, but well didn't really make an impression during that match. And Ace Powers is a new guy.

(The Bloodline Anthem by DMX starts to play and "That Conceited Bastard" Mo'Bad appears on the top of the ramp and he starts to make his way down to the ring. Mo'Bad marches down to the ring and when he reaches it, he slides in and waits in a corner).

(Then Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top starts to play and "High Flying" Ace Powers has to make his appearance now. But nothing is happening and the ramp stays empty. In the ring we see that Mo'Bad moves his shoulders up like he doesn't have any idea what happend to Ace Powers).

JP: Ok, thats strange.

ND: Very strange.

JP: You think that Mo'Bad got something to do with it, that Ace Powers hasn't shown up here?

ND: I don't know, I am not gonna insinuate that Mo'Bad is a master kidnapper. If I would say that, then I could imagine that he had something to do with Ace Powers disappearance.

JP: Yes, you sound very vague again Neil.

ND: I do my best.

JP: So I guess its gonna be a two against one match here then.

(Trust by Megadeth starts to play and few moments later Drake Laps comes out from behind the curtains and the fans start to cheer him on. Drake Laps raises his hands in the air and points to his 'The New Era' shirt. He then runs down the ramp to the ring and slides in and stares at Mo'Bad).

(Meet the creeper by Rob Zombie starts to play and the lights go out and fireworks go off. But when the lights come on again, there is noone on the ramp. Nothing is happening, the curtains aren't moving, no nothing.).

JP: Hmm, I guess we won't see anything of The Zer0 tonight. He probly is still locked up in that trunk of that car.

ND: Or he is just too chicken to come out here and face the person he kidnapped.

JP: That doesn't really make much sense Neil.

ND: No?

(Meet the creeper starts to play again, but like the first time nothing is happening and the ramp stays empty).

JP: Still nothing. So I figure its gonna be a regular one on one match then.

ND: Yep, it sure looks like that. (The ref calls the two wrestlers to him and starts to explain the rules, but then "Simon Says" blares out the house speakers while the lights around the entrance turn a shade of blue as fog fills the entranceway. A figure wears a t-shirt that says on the front "The New Era" and on the back it says "MacBeth". MacBeth slowly makes his way out and proceeds to non-chalantly walk down to the ring egging on the crowd with lude gestures. He slides under the bottom rope and hops up on a turnbuckle to give the crowd a crotch chop. MacBeth walks over to Drake Laps and they shake hands and embrace eachother quickly).

JP: Ok, so I guess its two against one again.

ND: But who the hell is that fella?

JP: Beats me, but he seems to be a "New Era" member.

Ding ding ding

JP: The bell has rung and MacBeth motions to Laps that he's gonna start off here. So it will be MacBeth and Mo'Bad who are gonna start this. Mo and MacBeth circle around eachother a few times and then they go for a collar and elbow tie-up. Mo'Bad begs off of it after a moment or two. They then circle eachother again for a few second and tie up once more. But again Mo'Bad gets out of the tie-up.

ND: I guess no tie-up huh. Mo'Bad now gears up to throw a big punch at MacBeth. But hey....instead of punching MacBeth, Mo pushes him with his index finger. And MacBeth falls down to the mat coz of that?? What the hell?? And Mo is going for the pin now. 1.....................2......................3......... And he gets the win??? What the hell has just happend here???

JP: Mo'Bad helps MacBeth up and Drake Laps come in and ........ALL THREE OF THEM CELEBRATE!!! What does that mean? Drake Laps now hands a shirt over to Mo'Bad and he puts it on and the shirt says "The New Era". So I guess this means that Mo'Bad has joined The New Era. So that entire kidnapping thing last week was all a scheme, was all a facade?

ND: Man, you are smart John, you notice everything.

JP: Don't give me that sarcasm, Neil.

(Laps, MacBeth and Mo'Bad are still celebrating while the crowd doesn't really know whats going on here).

(Commercials).

Exile: Wrong file Roadblock!!

Roadblock: What do you mean wrong file?

Exile: Sapio goes under the "S" and not under the "P"!!

Roadblock: But he's the Prez!

Exile: Yeah, but not for long!

Roadblock: But I filed you under the "C" of commissioner.

Exile: And what did you file yourself under the "D" of dumbass?

Roadblock: No under the "R"....hey!!! Was that an insult?

Exile: Now, better stop with filing now, you did enough damage. That will take Christine my secretary an entire day to get all those files sorted out again.

Roadblock: Hey, I can't help it she's slow.

Exile: Sure, Roadblock. But what I wanted to ask you is, if you are ready?

Roadblock: Ready?

Exile: Yes are you ready?

Roadblock: Ready for what?

Exile: Ready for it.

Roadblock: For what it?

Exile: For it it.

Roadblock: Oh that it. I don't know, am I?

Exile: I asked you.

Roadblock: I don't know.

Exile: Its gonna be your big breakthrough you know that. Everyone is gonna remember you after that.

Roadblock: Are they??

Exile: Yes definately.

Roadblock: Hey, then I am ready!!

(Scene fades out).

JP: Well, let's get ready for our next matchup. The Prime Time Championship will be on the line here!!

(Outshined by Soundgarden starts to play over the speakers, and Mystic finally comes out. The Prime Time Champion raises his hands in the air and all we hear are boos from the crowd. Mystic starts his way to the ring and after he uses the ring steps to make his way into the ring. After entering the ring, Mystic makes a motion around his waist as if to say that this is the night he reclaims the Prime Time Championship and Mystic has a look of determination on his face).

JP: Well, it would most certainly look like Mystic is ready for this match. Just get a glimpse of that look on his face!

ND: Well of course he does! Mystic's been getting geared up for this match all week!! He's looking great! Now where's that chump of a champion at?

(Ballbreaker by AC/DC starts to play over the pa system and Steel Brasco comes out behind the curtains. The crowd sees him and start to cheer "Brasco ...Brasco". Steel stands on the ramp for a few seconds before he continues his walk to the ring. He wears his usual attire, including the hat. He also has the EWCL Prime Time Championship belt wrapped around his waist. On his way down to the ring he shakes the hands with some of his "Brascoites". Finally, Steel reaches the ring and slides in and removes the Prime Time Championship, holding it above his head proudly to the ovation of the crowd)

JP: All right, well the referee is explaining the rules to this match, and there's the bell! Brasco and Mystic circling each other, and finally the two men lock up. Brasco with a side headlock onto Mystic, but Mystic finally takes Brasco into the ropes, Mystic trying for a clothesline, but Brasco ducks it, into the ropes again and this time it's Brasco catching Mystic with a clothesline! Wow, nice move by Brasco.

ND: Eh, it was all right. But the match is still young, JP! Brasco staying on the attack, scooping up Mystic and now he's going for a Gorilla Press Slam. Wow, another nice move here! And there's a few kicks from Brasco to Mystic, and it looks like Brasco's dragging him into the corner! What's he doing?

JP: It looks like he's setting him up for his Shooting Star Press! And here he goes and...NO! Mystic rolled out of the way! Brasco just slammed into that mat, and Mystic looks like he's getting a second wind now! Brasco's starting to get back to his feet, and there's a standing dropkick from Mystic! Nice move, and now Brasco's down again! Mystic picking up Brasco, and now a nice looking Snap Suplex! It looks like Mystic's on a roll here.

ND: Well of course! He's on Saphio's team after all!! Mystic sending Brasco into the ropes, and it looks like we've got a Spinebuster from Mystic! Wow, another nice move and now he jumps up top and hits a BEAUTIFUL Guillotine Legdrop! Man, Mystic's stringing all these moves together, and now going up to the first rope and....ELBOW DROP! This is over!!

JP: 1...2...No, only a two count, but what a humiliating move from Mystic! Now it looks like he's waiting to hit one of his 3/4 turn Neckbreakers! But wait, Brasco pushes him off into the ropes, and catches him with a DDT!! Now both men are down and listen to the crowd! They're loving this match!!

ND: Well, both men are starting to get back up to their feet here, and a punch from Mystic, but it's blocked! Punch by Brasco and he's reeling now! It looks like Brasco's calling for the Point! He's scooping him up! Oh my god!! But wait! Mystic used the momentum to slide off, and now he's going for the Cynergy Blast! Oh my god again!

JP: But Brasco ducked! He ducked the Cynergy Blast, and now there's a neckbreaker from Brasco onto Mystic! And now Brasco's going up top! Oh man! He's waiting for Mystic to get to his feet, and here comes Brasco and--

ND: CYNERGY BLAST! OH MY GOD!!! Mystic just superkicked him in mid-air! Brasco's not getting up from this and here's the pin! One...Two...THREE!!! A new Prime Time Champion in Mystic!!

(Commercials).

(Above Cazzo's right shoulder there appears a Angel-Dan Prohibition again).

Angel-Dan: How many times do I have to tell you that this isn't the solution, Eric? How many times? Alcohol does not take away your problems, they only make them worse. Realize that! You did so good for a while, now don't turn back to the booze just because you had another setback.

(Cazzo hesitates and then he nodds his head and takes the bottle out of his mouth).

(Then at that moment there appears a "Devil-Arcane Syth" above his left shoulder. Last time it was a devil-Sean Corvik but this time its a devil-Arcane Syth. The "Devil-Arcane Syth" has a sword in his right hand and he swings it and ......CHOPS OFF ANGEL-DANS HEAD WITH IT!!.......At that moment there appears a little Neil Down above Cazzo's head...)

Little Neil Down: OOOHH MYYYY GODDD!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?? DEVIL-ARCANE JUST BEHEADED ANGEL-DAN!!!

(Devil-Arcane stares at the little Neil Down and the commentator vanishes again. The Devil-Arcane then looks at Cazzo and says).

Devil-Arcane: DRINK IT!!!

(Cazzo takes the bottle again and puts it to his mouth and starts to chug it down. A couple of seconds later the bottle is half empty and Cazzo looks in the mirror again and rips off those dice and throws them outside).

(Scene fades out)

JP: Ooh no!! Don't tell me he's back to drinking again!! What do you think Neil?

ND: I'm thinking that I also got those dice in my car, what a coincidence huh.

JP: Is it?

ND: What do you mean?

JP: Nothing.

JP: Well, it looks like we're ready for our non-title match here.

ND: And these two men have a history. About a year ago it was in a match with Damien Black and Peter Pan in which Joe Johnson captured the hardcore title. A hardcore title that he held for quite some time. He never lost it, but he vacated it after the betrayal of Tony DeLucci.

JP: Now they are back. Now its just one on one. There is no XwO and there is no Royal Family. Its just gonna be Joe Johnson versus Damien Black.

(This is not by Static X starts to play and out walks Damien Black. But before he can even make it to the ring, Joe Johnson runs behind him and throws him into the steel steps.)

ND: Damn!! Looks like this match is getting started a little early!! Joe throwing Damien into the ring, and he's just stomping away on him now! He throws Damien into the ropes and there's an overhead belly to belly suplex! Damien's holding his back after that one!

JP: Indeed you're right, Neil! Joe johnson is just stomping away again on Damien, and he picks him up and Payback to Society! Wow, he just planted Damien and goes for a cover but he only picks up a two count. Joe not happy about that one, but he just picks up Damien again, this time to hit a Cradle Piledriver! Wow, another nice move from Joe!

ND: He's all about the offense tonight, and now Damien trying to mount an offensive, but not quite able to do so! He's punching at Joe, but they don't seem to be having much effect, and now Damien comes flying at Joe, and a Judo throw from the Internet Champion!! Ha ha!!

JP: Damien getting up, looking quite mad as he runs to Joe, only to be caught in a drop toe hold, and now Joe's going for....UH OH!!! Painkiller!! That elevated Sharpshooter! Can Damien reach the ropes? I don't know, I don't know, I don't....No!! Damien forced to submit here!!

ND: Wow, this was quite an easy win for the Internet Champion this week!!

JP: Joe Johnson lets go off Damien and he drags him over to the corner. He sets him up in a tree of woe position. Joe then takes a few steps backwards and he then charges in and does a baseball slide straight into Damien Blacks face!! Yes, signature Joe Johnson move. And Joe isn't ready yet, he really wants to humiliate Damien Black here. He picks Damien up and, puts him into the ropes and starts to tie him down in the ropes.

ND: Damiens hands are tied in the cruxifix position now and Joe slides to the outside now and grabs a steelchair. He gets back into the ring again and taunts Damien Black for a little bit by making an XwO sign. Joe then charges in and ...Crown of Crimson!!! He smashes the chair into Damien Blacks face!!! Ooh God!!

JP: Joe then drops the chair and slides out of the ring with his Internet Title.

(Commercials).

JP: Its time now for our next match. Its Arcane Syth time again people and the big question is, who is gonna be his next victim?

ND: I wouldn't want to be in a match with this guy. He's the most morbid person I have ever witnessed and hey I've been married once, so I've seen hell.

JP: Last week Arcane Syth ended 'The Dark One' Fazzers career, by defeating him in a match and burrying him alive afterwards. Now for this week Arcane was scheduled to fight Scandalous, but a few days ago Scandalous decided to leave the EWCL once again. So therefore its still unknown who is gonna face Arcane Syht tonight.

(At that moment the lights go out and and Biblebasher starts to play real loud over the pa system. We have seen this routine over the last few weeks in the EWCL and now its that time again. The lights come on again while Biblebasher is still playing. Arcane Syth is standing on the ramp and he slowly starts to make his way down to the ring. The audience is absolutely silent. Arcane reaches ringside and he uses the ringsteps to enter the ring).

JP: Man, that guy is frightning. I really wouldn't want to face him.

ND: Only a fool would come out now to fight him.

(At that moment the titantron comes on and the following words appear on the screen: "A LAND IN TURMOIL....CRIED OUT FOR A NEW HERO........THE DAY HAS COME....HE HAS ARRIVED......HIS COURAGE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.......FOREVER.......HE IS....................ROADBLOCK!!!).

JP: WHAT??!!??

("Hero" by Enrique Iglesias starts to play and Roadblock appears on the top of the ramp. The crowd sees him and there is a mixture between laughs and cheers for him. Roadblock tries to look confident, but its not really working. Eventually he continues his walk to the ring. He reaches ringside and he sees Arcane Syth in the ring and Roadblock wants to back out of it. He turns around again, but at the same moment Arcane slides to the outside and follows Roadblock and grabs him from behind and drags him back to the ring and rolls him in).

JP: Oh God!!

ND: Poor Roadblock.

Ding ding ding

JP: Arcane approaches Roadblock, but Roadblock goes towards the ropes and tries to climb out of the ring. But Arcane grabs him before he can get out. Arcane throws a couple of punches and then he irish whips Roadblock into the ropes. Roadblock comes off and Arcane does a standing sidekick and Roadblock goes down to the mat. Arcane picks Roadblock up and sets him up for a double underhook backbreaker and he executes it.

ND: Arcane takes his time here and waits till Roadblock gets up on his own. But Arcane then does a roundhouse kick to the face when Roadblock is rising from the mat!!! And he's down to the mat again!! Arcane smirks and he kicks Roadblock in the head and midsection several times. He then puts his boot to Roadblocks throat and starts to choke him like that. The referee tries to make Arcane stop, but Arcane only pushes him away with one arm.

JP: Arcane then finally lets go and he picks up Roadblock, lifts him up and....DEICIDE!!! Thats a half suplex, half double underhook ddt. Oooh man what a move by the Dark Syth!! Arcane now goes for the cover, the ref counts and, 1...................2.............but ooooh wait Arcane lifts up Roadblocks shoulder himself. Why did he do that? He could have ended it right here already, but he stops it himself. Why?

(On the top of the ramp we see that Universal Champion Sean Corvik is standing there watching this match. He got the title strapped around his waist and seems to be fully concentrated).

JP: What is his intrest here?

ND: Well you know the relationship between these two guys don't you.

JP: Yeah, but still.

ND: Ok, back to the match. Arcane picks up Roadblock once again and sets him up for a wristlock suplex and executes it!! Roadblock slowly crawls back to his feet again and at the same time Arcane Syth is going for the toprope. He climbs all the way to the top and when he's standing on the topturnbuckle he looks down at Roadblock and jumps off and .....SALVATION OFF THE TOPROPE!!!

JP: OOOOH MY GODDD!!! What a move!! And Roadblock is definately knocked out flat, he can't even move anymore. Arcane now rolls himself over and goes for the pin. 1..........................2.......................3........... Thank God its over now.

ND: You really think its over now?

JP: Well I hope it is.

(Arcane Syth slides to the outside and from under the ring he grabs a steelchair. He rolls himself back into the ring again and he goes over to Roadblock and bashes the steelchair into the already unconscious Roadblock!! Arcane uses the steelchair a couple of times and then he drops the chair. Again Arcane Syth slides to the outside and from under the ring he grabs a wooden coffin).

JP: How the hell did that coffin get under the ring?

ND: Well you don't know whats all under that ring you know.

JP: Arcane slides the coffin into the ring and rolls in after. He takes off the top off the coffin and then he picks up Roadblock and lays him inside of the coffin and puts the top back on it again. OOOH NOOOO!!!! For the third time Arcane then slides to the outside and from under the ring he grabs a bottle of liquid. He slides back into the ring and he pours the liquid all over the coffin.

ND: Don't tell me this is what I think it is.

(Arcane then pulls out a box of matches out of his pocket and he lights one match and throws it on top off the wooden coffin and the coffin starts to catch fire right away. There are flames all over the place!!).

JP: OOOOOH NOOOOO!!! WHAT A PSYCHO!!! Somebody help Roadblock!!

(Arcane Syth now slides to the outside again and he starts to walk out of ringside. At the same moment we see that commissioner Exile comes out from behind the curtains with a fire extinguisher in his hands. He sees Sean Corvik standing on top of the ramp and he stops for a sec and stares at him, but then he rushes down to the ring. Exile passes Arcane on his way to ringside and then he slides in and uses that fire extinguisher to put the fire out).

JP: Its good thing Exile came out here!!

(In the meantime Arcane reached the top of the ramp and he and Sean Corvik stare at eachother for a moment and Arcane then disappears behind the curtains).

ND: Arcane is really making a name for himself here. I have no words for him.

JP: I know what you mean. And I don't want to be Dan Prohibition right now, coz we know that Arcane has it in for Dan. He still blames Dan for the loss of Alexander Glory's wife.

(Commercials).

Saphio: Yello, Prez in da house.

Secretary: I got mr. Christ on the phone for you.

Saphio: Oh great, put him through right away. I've been waiting for this phonecall.

(The secretary connects the phonecall).

Saphio: Mr. Christ? How are you doing today?

.......

Saphio: Oh thats good to hear. So have you thought about my proposition?

..........

Saphio: Yes, you are right, a 20 million dollar contract.

.........

Saphio: Yes, miraculously we got out of financial trouble, hehe. But you have my word on it that if you sign that you get this money.

.................

Saphio: Ahhh, great!!! I'll let my secretary draw up a contract right away Mr. Christ.

..................

Saphio: Yes same here too, pleasure doing business with you aswell.

.................

Saphio: Thanks, but I don't really need any luck for my match tonight.

................

Saphio: Ok, see you soon, Mr. Christ.

(Saphio hangs up the phone and there appears a smile on his face).

(Fade out).

JP: Ok, glad to be back again. During the commercials we heard that our new Hero Roadblock is doing fine. He has suffered from his match with Arcane Syth and he does have some minor burns, but luckily Exile was just in time to prevent worse damage. However an ambulance has taken Roadblock to the hospital already and they are gonna do a full checkup on him there. More news on that in the following days I presume.

ND: Who cares about Roadblock. Prez Saphio was talking to "Miraculous" Danny Christ again. Its inevitable, the great man is returning!! The most talented man who ever walked on EWCL ground is making his comeback. Oh yes!!!

JP: Take it easy Neil.

ND: Ok then. Ok then, I am just a bit enthusiastic here, can't I be!! But I know its time for our next match. Hardcore Champion Blade is putting his hardcore title on the line against Iman Sain.

JP: New Hardcore Sensation Iman Sain has proven over the last weeks that he deserves this title shot. Two people Iman beat were Hardcore Saint Dan Prohibition and former Hardcore Champion Cazzo. So you can say that he earned himself this titleshot. I can still remember clearly how Iman beat Cazzo last week.

ND: YEAHH, and they wrecked my car with that!!!

JP: You mean your car with the dice in the mirror?

ND: What?

JP: Nevermind.

ND: Uhm, ok.

JP: Another intresting thing for this match is that both Blade and Iman Sain are suppose to be on the same side, on Saphio's side. But I don't think that counts here, don't you think.

ND: Yes, think so too. Saphio is a great leader and powerful man, but you can't control everyone. And Iman and Blade just don't seem to get along that good. But that can happen as long as they think of the team.

(Stupify by Disturbed starts to play over the speakers and Iman Sain comes out. He runs to the ring and slides in and climbs in the ropes and raises his hands in the air. The crowd boos him, but Iman doesn't seem to care).

(Then the lights slowly go black as the sound of footsteps can be heard over the speakers, and suddenly Powerman 5000's "Nobody's Real" fills the arena. Blue strobe lights surround the entranceway as Blade slowly and calmly walks down the aisle dressed in black pants, black boots, a black shirt, and a black leather trench coat. After he rolls into the ring, he stands in the middle of the ring and removes his trench coat and his hardcore titlebelt and stares at Iman Sain).

Ding ding ding

JP: Its on!! Blade charges in on Iman, but Iman catches him with a boot to the head!! Blade does not go down, but Iman drops right hands and forearms to Blade's face. Blade staggers behind and Iman bounces himself into the ropes and he comes off and takes Blade to the mat with a spinning heelkick. Iman then bounces himself into the ropes again and goes for an elbow drop, but Blade moves out of the way in time.

ND: Blade gets back to his feet and he picks up Iman and delivers a headbutt. Now its Iman who staggers backwards and Blade now grabs Iman in a sidewalk slam and he executes it perfectly!! Blade now starts to stomp and kick on Iman. Iman heads for a corner to try to get to his feet with Blade in hot pursuit. Iman reaches a corner and he pulls himself up, but Blade already comes in with a flying splash on Iman in the corner!! Holy shit!!

JP: Blade now whips Iman into the opposite corner and tries to splash his opponent again. But ooooh Iman lifts his foot up and Blade flies facefirst into it!!! Iman then nails Blade with a running dropkick. Iman picks Blade up and he lifts him up for a piledriver, but Blade reverses it and backdrops Iman to the mat. Blade picks Iman up and he irish whips him into the ropes and when Iman comes off he does a belly to belly suplex!!!

ND: Nicely done by the champ. Blade moves back over to Iman and he picks him up by the head, but ooh lowblow by Iman Sain and Blade goes down to the mat. Iman then quickly rolls himself to the outside and he grabs Blade's left leg and he drags it towards the nearest ringpost and slamms the leg into that ringpost several times!!! Iman continuous to hold on to that leg and now he drags Blade out of the ring to the outside!!

JP: From under the ring Iman grabs a chain and he waits till Blade is getting back up and then Iman comes up from behind Blade and starts to choke the life out of him. Iman manages to choke Blade down to one knee!! And as Blade is losing his conscious, he notices that they are near the timekeepers table. Blade reaches out for the ringbell and grabs it and uses it and smashes it into Imans face!! BAMMMM!!!!

ND: OOOH SHIT!! Iman lets go off the chokehold and Blade gets to his feet again and he uses the ringbell again on Iman. BAMMMM!!! He bashes it into Imans head and Iman goes down to the ground. Blade drops the ringbell to the floor and he picks up Iman Sain and ......DDT on the ringbell!!! Oh man! And Imans face is busted open from that move!! Blade doesn't waste anytime and he grabs Iman by the head and he drags him back over to the apron. He first ramms Imans head into the apron and he then rolls him back into the ring again.

JP: Blade climbs on the apron and after he climbs the topturnbuckle. He gets on top and he dives off for a crossbody, but Iman got to his feet again and he grabs Blade out of midair and reverses it into a belly to belly suplex!!! OOOH MAN!!!! And Iman is going for the cover right after that, 1..................2........kickout. Iman picks up Blade now and he lifts him up and executes a t-bone suplex!! Iman goes for another cover attempt, but again he only gets a two count.

ND: Iman yells at the referee and then he picks Blade up again and waistlocks him and wants to go for a german suplex, but Blade reverses the waistlock and follows that up with a german suplex of his own!! Blade then picks Iman up and he sends him into the ropes. Iman comes off and its Blade with a spinebuster that takes Iman to the mat. Now its Blade who goes for the cover, and 1.................2........he also only gets a two count.

JP: Blade picks up Iman and he lifts him on top of the topturnbuckle. Blade follows up after, but then its Iman who catches him with a big right punch to the side of the head. Blade holds on to the ropes and doesn't fall off, but Iman then gets Blade in his Mental Suicide position and he is about to hit the double underhook piledriver from the toprope!!! But oooooh!! Blade reverses it and OOOOOOOOH SHITT!!!! Blade backdrops Iman off the toprope to the mat!!!!

ND: Good God!!! What an impact!!! And Blade managed to hang on to the ropes and he's still standing on the topturnbuckle. He turns around now and he waits till Iman is getting back to his feet again and then Blade dives off for a flying clothesline and he hits Iman with it!! Oh man!!! Blade goes for the cover, 1...........................2................but Iman somehow kicks out. How did he do that?

JP: Blade now picks Iman up again, but Iman rakes Blade in the eye and he follows that up with a superkick!! But Blade catches it!!! Iman tries to counter into a enziguri, but Blade ducks it and holds on to the leg and he turns it into an anklelock!! OOOOOH YESSSS!!! Look at the pain in Iman Sains eyes!!! Blade got it hooked on right and ......and.......Iman Sain taps out now!!!! He taps out and Blade gets the win here and is still the Hardcore Champion!!

ND: The match is over but Blade holds on to the anklelock for a little bit longer. He holds on for about 10 seconds longer and then he lets go. Iman crawls towards the ropes and he uses them to get back to his feet. After he got up he yells at Blade. Blade turns around and moves over to Iman. Blade stands in front of Iman now and both men start to trash talk eachother and Iman now even starts to push Blade.

JP: They are suppose to be on the same team here. Ok, they just fought a match, but the match is over now.

ND: Iman and Blade are in eachothers face and then "Highway to Hell" starts to play and Prez Saphio comes running down to the ring. He slides in and immediately gets in between Iman and Blade and he tries to calm both men down. He first shortly turns towards Iman and then Saphio turns towards Blade and the two exchange some words. We can't hear what it is what they say, but it doesn't really look like a normal conversation. And Saphio now even slaps Blade in the face!! Did you see that?!?

(Blade responds by grabbing Saphio by the throat and threatens a chokeslam. But then we see that "The Hardcore Event" Joe Johnson comes running down to ringside and he slides in the ring and he pulls Blade off of Saphio and takes him to a corner and tries to calm him down. Saphio looks at Blade and shakes his head and then he turns back towards Iman and checks if he is allright.).

JP: Oh man, what a night.

(Commercials).

Then in the distance we hear a big bang and the sound of that bang makes Cazzo snap out of his 'semi' sleep and he looks up, rubs his forehead with his left hand and then he takes another sip from the almos empty Jack Daniels bottle. The halfdrunk Cazzo then starts to mumble to himself.).

Cazzo: Pshhh, The Punisher. The Punisher, what the heck is going on with ya? You make it seem like it was me who turned on me. You make it seem like I, Eric van Zandt, stabbed you in the back after a longtime friendship. But nu uh guess again, that was Saphio. He made the decision to abandon you, he couldn't stand your presence anymore. So please, please don't go blaming me for everything. You claim that you did so much for Team Cazzo, that you put everything on the line for it and that you got squat in return for it.

Cazzo: Squat? I didn't do squat for you? Don't you remember a certain main event in a certain ppv. In that certain main event match between The Punisher and The Rage I was the referee, and I think it was ME who helped you get that win and the Universal Title. I was responsible for your biggest achievement in the EWCL. And now YOU dare to accuse me that I never did anything for you?? Well join the club. I think Joe Johnson is first in line in the "Where's my respect booth". Punisher, so you say you don't back me up anymore. You say you want to make things up with your old buddy Saphio, let bygons be bygons and let the past rest. Pshh, so be it Punisher. Do you really think that I am gonna sulk about that? Do you really think that I even trusted you all that time? Did you really think that I forgot about your Legion escapade? Did you think I forgot that you burnt down Paco's Motel, that you tried to kidnap my ex-fiancee Pamela and that you beat up Paco. Did you really think I just forgave you all of that? Well guess again. Fact is Punisher, I don't need you. I don't need anyone anymore.

Cazzo: There's one thing I learned now that I am no longer in a powerful position and that is that people use eachother. People always want something from somebody else. There just isn't any loyalty or friendship whatsoever, there is always a catch to it. Wether someone wants money, or fame or a titleshot. There is always something. Sooner or later it comes clear what a person really wanted. Why someone really wanted to hang out with me. I'm getting sick of it. You hear me, SICK of it!! I've been stabbed in the back too many times. Its time for a big decision now. I'm gonna cut off all my strings.....

(After that sentence Cazzo takes another sip from the bottle and then he faints and falls unconsciously to the right onto the passengers seat.) (Fade out).

JP: Its a shame, its a damn shame, how a great man like Eric van Zandt fell down like that. I thought that he was back in the saddle again. I thought that after he and Dan went to that AA meeting that things would get better again. And it seemed like they were, but a setback punched him back again. After The Punishers statement that he no longer is behind Cazzo, the former prez looks worse than ever and the fact that Cazzo says he no longer needs anyone else and that he's cutting all the ties doesn't sound all too promising for his future.

ND: Agh, don't talk about that drunk. Talk about people who deserve to be talked about like Saphio and Sean Corvik. They are the great ones of the EWCL, well right behind Danny Christ ofcourse. Saphio and Corvik are facing Dan Prohibition and The Punisher in a few moments here.

JP: No titles on the line here only prestige. Prestige that counts. Last week Dan got a win over Sean Corvik but it was a dq win so he never won the Universal Title. Last week The Punisher also defeated Saphio in a lumberjack match. Two matches that Exile got involved in. I wonder if we are gonna see him tonight here. Thats if he is not in the hospital checking on Roadblock.

ND: What I wonder is how Dan Prohibition is feeling. Can he rely on Punisher or not? Thats the main question here. But thats something we will find out soon enough.

(One Step Closer hits, the titantron flashes an sXe symbol. Dan and Lydia walk out. Dan has the stop sign in his hand and the staplegun in his pocket. Dan raises his hands over his head in the shape of an X while Lydia wraps her arms around his waist. Dan and Lydia walk down to the ring and Dan slaps the fans high fives. Dan holds the rope open for Lydia and she climbs into the ring and Dan gets into the ring and climbs on the second rope, again making the X. Dan raises the bottom rope for Lydia and she exits the ring and stands on the arena floor).

(Then American Made starts to play and The Punisher appears on the ramp. He stands on the ramp for a moment and listens to the crowd. The crowd gives him a mixture of cheers and boos. The audience probly hasn't made their mind up yet what to think of Punishers latest actions. The Punisher walks to the ring and he reaches ringside and uses the ringsteps to get in).

(Died by Alice in Chains starts to play and Universal Champion Kritical Kondition Sean Corvik comes out from behind the curtains. He got the Universal Title strapped around his waist and he makes his way to the ring and once he reaches it he slides in).

(Finally Highway to hell by AC/DC starts to play and Prez Saphio comes out. Again the crowd starts to boo. Saphio slowly walks towards ringside and he uses the ringsteps to enter the ring.)

JP: All four competitors are here now and we can begin. I think its gonna be Dan Prohibition and Sean Corvik who are gonna start off here, the two former tagteampartners.

Ding ding ding

JP: Dan and Corvik start to circle eachother for about 5 seconds. They then lock up and its Corvik who pushes Dan away from him. Dan charges in again, but Corvik delivers a right hand to Dans face. Corvik throws another punch but this time Dan blocks it and returns a right hand of his own. Dan now grabs Corviks arm and he sends him into the ropes. Corvik comes off and Dan grabs him and does his Crossfactor on him!! Oh man this early in the match a move like this by Dan. Dan then starts to work on Corviks left leg and stomps on it several times.

ND: After a couple of kicks, Dan drags Corvik over to the nearest corner and he then starts to kick Corvik in the face. Dan finally stops and he picks Corvik up and places him with his back against the turnbuckles. Dan steps on the bottom rope and he starts to put his fist into Corviks head. 1...2...3.....4.......But then Corvik counters and he lifts Dan up and does a reverse atomic drop!!

JP: Dan staggers backwards and Corvik runs in and does a hurricanrana and takes the Hardcore Saint down!! Corvik quickly gets back to his feet again and he picks Dan up again and sends him into the ropes. Dan comes off the ropes and Corvik grabs him and does a tornado ddt on him!!! Corvik goes for the early cover, but he only gets a two count. Corvik then goes over to his corner and he tags in Saphio. Prez Saphio climbs in the ring and he picks up Dan and irish whips him into the ropes.

ND: Dan comes off and Saphio lifts Dan up and does a gorilla press slam!! Impressive by our president. Saphio then picks up Dan from the mat and he lifts him up for a suplex and he executes it. Saphio is sure on a role here, he looks better than ever. Saphio picks Dan up again and he sends him into the ropes once again, but this time Dan hangs on to the ropes. Saphio comes charging in and he clotheslines Dan over the toprope!!

JP: Dan fell all the way down to the outside, but rather quickly he got back up again and climbed on the apron. In the ring we see that Saphio is still playing the crowd, acting like he owns the place.

ND: Hey, he does own the place.

(The camera zooms in on the ramp and at the top of the ramp we see Blade standing. He is watching what is going on at ringside).

JP: Dan is back on the apron and now Saphio turns back towards Dan and ......Dan jumps up, uses the toprope as a springboard and does a flying clothesline to take Saphio down. Dan then climbs through the ropes again to the apron. And again Dan jumps up and uses the toprope as a springboard and this time he does a legdrop on Saphio!!! Dan hooks the leg and goes for the cover, 1..................2...........but Saphio kicks out.

ND: Dan goes over to The Punisher and he tags him in. The Punisher climbs into the ring and he slowly walks over to Saphio. Punisher hesitates for a second and then he picks up Saphio. He pads Saphio on the back and checks if he's ok. Saphio nodds and then the two start to circle eachother. They then tie up and Punisher gets in a headlock. Saphio comes in with an elbow and Punisher lets go off the headlock. Saphio grabs Punishers arm and he irish whips him into the ropes.

JP: Punisher comes off and Saphio takes him down to the mat with a big powerclothesline. Saphio picks Punisher up again and he sends him into the ropes again. Saphio goes for another clothesline, but this time Punisher ducks the forearm and he goes into the ropes again. He comes off again and he takes Saphio down to the mat with a flying shouldertackle. Punisher then grabs Saphio by the head and starts to hand out a couple of chops. Punisher then goes to irish whip Saphio again, but Saphio reverses the whip.

ND: While Punisher goes into the ropes, Saphio tags in Corvik. Punisher comes off the ropes and Saphio does a droptoe hold and Punisher falls facefirst to the mat. At that moment Corvik comes in and he grabs Punishers legs and hooks in a boston crab. Corvik got it hooked in right and he is inflicting pain on Punisher. Punisher is trying to reach for the ropes but he can't make it. He then tries to reach for Dan, but he is too far away to make the tag. Its really hard for The Punisher here.

JP: The ref is checking if he wants to tap out here, but he refuses to. Then Dan comes in the ring and he bounces into the ropes, comes off and comes up behind Corvik and does a flying bulldog on him!!! Oooh yes!!! Great move by the Ulraviolent Allstar. Corvik let go off the boston crab and Punisher crawls over to the ropes now. He uses the ropes to get back up and he slowly moves over to Corvik. He picks up Corvik and he lifts him up and does a backbreaker.

ND: Punisher then tags in Dan again. Dan quickly comes in again and he picks Corvik up and ....Penance of Your Sins!! He does his piledriver on him!!! Dan looks at the corner and he climbs the topturnbuckle. Dan is on top and he dives off and .....The Watchful Eye.....and he lands on top off Corvik!!! Dan now goes for the cover and the win, 1.....................2.............but then Saphio comes in and he breaks the count.

JP: Saphio kicked Dan into the head and Dan gets up and he goes after Saphio and he grabs Saphio by the head and he throws him over the toprope to the outside. Dan then turns back towards Corvik, but ........INSANITY'S EMBRACE!!!! Corvik got back up in the meantime and he superkicks Dan straight into the face!!! And Corvik now grabs Dan and .....The Darkest Hour!!! Corvik got his submission move hooked in on Dan!!! Is this it!!!

ND: But now its The Punisher who comes in and he big boots Corvik to the head and Corvik lets go off the Darkest Hour. Punisher goes back to his corner and Dan is crawling over to his corner. Corvik is getting back up, but at the same time Dan is going to make the tag. Will he make it in time? Dan gets up and he dives towards the Punisher and makes the tag. Punisher climbs in and charges in on Corvik and takes him down with a big clothesline.

JP: At that moment also Saphio comes back into the ring. Punisher charges in on Saphio, but then in the last minute he hesitates and he stops! Hey!! He wanted to clothesline Saphio to the mat, but now he stopped and he just looks at Saphio. The two former friends look at eachother for a moment, but ooooh Corvik got up again and he grabs Punisher from behind and ......THE GAVEL!!!!

ND: Sean Corvik beat The Punisher with his own finisher!! Corvik goes for the cover and. 1............................2...........Dan comes in to break the count, but Saphio stops him before he can interfere.............3.......... And Sean Corvik and Saphio win this tagmatch!!

JP: The referee raises Corviks and Saphio's hands into the air and the crowd boos them. Behind them we see that The Punisher gets back up again and he looks at Saphio and then he decides to roll himself out of the ring. The Punisher then starts to walk out of the ring. In the ring Saphio then turns to see where The Punisher is and he notices that The Punisher already left the ring. Saphio then quickly looks around and sees that The Punisher is almost on the top of the ramp. Saphio rolls himself out of the ring and he quickly leaves to catch up with The Punisher.

ND: He probly wants to talk to The Punisher or something. There's something they need to sort out I think.

JP: You can say that again.

(In the ring we see that Sean Corvik slides out of the ring again and he goes over to pick up his Universal Title belt. He then leaves ringside, while at the same moment the lights go out and Biblebasher starts to play. Half a minute later the lights are back on again and in the ring we see Arcane Syth. He stands in the middle of the ring with a steelchair in his hands!!)

JP: Nooo, not Arcane again!!! Arcane looks at Dan who is still in the ring and he goes over to Dan and .......BAMMMMMMM!!!! WHACKS DAN TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THAT STEELCHAIR!!!! AND BAAMMMMMMM!!!! BAMMMMMMM!!!! BAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Arcane Syth continues to bash him with that steelchair!!! OOOH GOOOD GODDDD!!! Somebody stop him, this could definately mean a concussion!!!

ND: I think he heard you John, coz Arcane now drops the chair and slowly starts to leave. Arcane rolls himself to the outside and wait, he's not leaving yet. He walks over towards Lydia and what is he doing? Arcane makes a "slicing throat" signal towards Lydia.

JP: And Lydia looks terrified, look at the fear in her eyes there. Unbelievable. I think she can't even move, thats how scared she is.

(Arcane then turns around again and leaves ringside).

(Commercials).

(The the titantron comes on and we see The Punisher still in his ringattire and he is fastly walking towards the exit. After his match he walked straight out of there, he didn't even shower or go back to his lockerroom. It looks like he is mad at Saphio or something. Mad, because he wanted to make it up again with Saphio, but still it backfired on him. But was it really Saphio's mistake this time?).

(The Punisher is going for the exit now and he opens the door and he walks out of the building. He crosses the street and then from out of nowhere there comes a car speeding towards The Punisher. The car got its big lights on so its hard to see who's sitting inside of the car. The car comes closer to The Punisher and there's no way that The Punisher can move out of the way in time. The car comes even closer and its inevidable that the car is gonna hit Punisher with that speed.

But just at the last moment its........SAPHIO.....WHO COMES RUNNING OUT FROM THE BUILDING AND HE RUNS TOWARDS THE PUNISHER AND HE PUSHES THE HIM AWAY FROM THE APPROACHING CAR!!!! HE PUSHED THE PUNISHER AWAY FROM THE APPROACHING CAR, BUT SAPHIO DOESN'T HAVE THE TIME TO SAVE HIMSELF AND..............AND...........THE CAR HITS HIM!!!!............THE SPEEDING CAR HITS SAPHIO AND SAPHIO FLIES A NUMBER OF FEET HIGH INTO THE AIR AND HE LANDS ON THE CONCRETE. AND THERE'S NO MOVEMENT TO SEE....SAPHIO IS NOT MOVING AT ALL........The Punisher gets up from the concrete and he immediately checks on Saphio, but there seems to be no sign of life. Not at all. We see the panic in The Punishers face. What has happend here??....Somebody tried to run over The Punisher, but Saphio saved him but got hit himself!!!!) (The camera turns around and zooms in on the car that just ran over Saphio. The car stopped in the end of the street. The camera can't put on picture who's sitting in the car, we can't even see the type of car it is. The only thing we see is that the window of the car is broken on the passengers seat............).
