("Prayer" opening.)
(Concession Girl is at ringside, selling Nykk T-Shirts.)
Tara: Welcome to another episode of RCW Foundation here on Fox Sports Digital, it's going to be a packed night. We have a RCW Championship Match scheduled as Alan Mayse takes on Chris Stylez, and Jon Z has promised up a major announcement that will affect the entire active male roster. I can't guess what that might be.
Joel: You're listening to Tara Fisher, and I'm the quintessential studmuffin, the man in Richmond who actually IS positively worth the drive. Joel "I've got plenty in store, to make your insides sore" Gertner.
("Run Rabbit Junk" by Yoko Kanno hits and Mary Alice Latino makes her way to the ring.)
Concession Girl vs. Mary Alice Latino
(Concession Girl controls most of the match, keeping M'Alice grounded. CG pushes M'Alice to the corner and sets up for Diamond Dave's Dust. M'Alice stuns CG with an elbow to the midsection and turns. She climbs the ropes and hits an armdrag off the second rope. M'Alice hits the ropes and as CG gets to her feet, M'Alice hits a fast flying headscissor takedown. Both get to thier feet and M'Alice tries to grapple. CG ducks under her arm and locks on a sleeper hold. M'Alice fights the hold and backs hard into the corner to break loose. She grabs hold of CG's arm and jumps up on the top rope, flipping into a hurricanrana. She holds on for the pin.)
Winner: Mary Alice Latino
Tara: Wow, impressive move, and it got her the win here tonight.
Joel: She looks like she already has great form on that move, but I'd be more than willing to help her practice it.
Tara: Down!
(Mary Alice celebrates and Concession Girl gets back up, leaning against the corner. Mary Alice walks over and offers a handshake. Concession Girl accepts it and picks up her tray, trying to sell Mary Alice a shirt.)
Tara: That's Concession Girl for you, always dedicated to the job.
Joel: I'd like to see her dedicated to...
Tara: Stop!
Joel: The ladies of RCW, what a great way to start out the night.
Tara: And it's nowhere near the end, we still have to find out Jon Z's big announcement. We're scheduled to right after...
("Simon Says" hits and Swinger makes his way to the ring. He stays outside the ring.)
Tara: What's this? Why's Swinger out here?
("Rico Suave" hits and Rico Cassanova makes his way to the ring.)
Joel: Rico too? What's going on? Swinger isn't on my schedule at all, and Rico Cassanova's match is supposed to be after Jon's announcement, not before.
Tara: I don't know what they're doing, but perhaps Jon can shed some light on it.
("Copa Cabana" hits and Colt Cabana makes his way to the ring.)
Joel: Colt Cabana, making his first RCW appearance in quite some time, but doing what?
Tara: We have to go to commercial. Stay with us.
(Commercial Break.)
("Head Like a Hole" hits and Christopher Daniels makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: Welcome back to Foundation, the confusion continues. It seems like half the locker room has turned out already.
Joel: I'm looking around the ring. I see Swinger, Rico Cassanova, Colt Cabana, Aki Mann, Nykk, Chris Daniels just came out.
Tara: There's Cheesecake of the Eccentrics, Chad Collyer, Silver King, Joey Sprinklers and Jay Crowe from the Heel Stable, Concession Boy III.
Joel: I even see Eric Noe, Shawn Luss and the masked Bluejay. Three of the new graduates from RCW's training camp.
("Prayer" hits and Jon Z makes his way to the ring. He's holding a mic and a briefcase.)
Tara: Finally, now maybe we can see what this is all about.
(Jon climbs into the ring.)
Jon: Well, I bet I've got your attention.
Tara: Damn right.
Jon: Take a look around this ring. I've counted our active male roster, and it amounts to 31. Here we have a little less than half that. You see, in this briefcase, I have something that affects every male competitor here...except one. The RCW Champion Alan Mayse will not be eligible for what I am about to introduce.
Joel: Just get to it!!!
(Jon opens the briefcase and pulls out a championship belt.)
Jon: This is the RCW Television Championship. A title that will be crowned at Homecoming Hell, October 23 from Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio. The winner of this belt will be decided by a two round tournament, the first round on October 19 on Foundation, the finals on Pay Per View. In order to find the four men in that tournament however, I've decided to include...well everyone! Two battle royales will be held, the final two men in each will be paired together in first round matches.
(Jon steps out on the ring apron.)
Jon: 30 men total will compete for a chance at this belt, and tonight we have 15 men surrounding the ring. I think you can see where this is going. Ring the bell!
(The bell rings and all 15 men storm the ring, a brawl erupting.)
15 man battle royale
(Nykk immediately attacks Joey Sprinkers, hitting a running leg lariat and picking him up for a vertical suplex.

Silver King grabs him and whips him over the rope. He lands on the apron and blocks a right hand from Silver King, hitting a shoulderblock to the midsection through the ropes and sinches him up for a suplex, letting him fall outside the ring. Colt then hits a slingshot legdrop on Aki. Rico Cassanova runs over to help Colt pick Aki up they hit a double clothesline that sends Aki out and to the floor. Rico offers to shake hands with Colt. Colt accepts it, then slaps Rico and sets him up for the Colt .45. Rico bounces up onto the top rope and Colt lifts him over. Rico yells back into the ring and Colt just shrugs and walks away. He takes a swing at Nykk and locks up, Jay breaking away to get hit with a gutwrench suplex by Cheesecake. Eric Noe hits Cheesecake from behind and whips him toward the ropes as Shawn Luss lowers his head to try and back drop him out of the ring. Cheesecake kicks him in the head and clotheslines him out. Eric charges him, but Cheesecake hip tosses him over the rope and he lands on the apron. Cheesecake leans out as if to kiss him and Eric jumps away looking terrified. Cheesecake turns around and gets hit with a spinning heel kick from Jay that sends him over to the floor. Chad Collyer hits a vertical suplex on Swinger and points to the ropes, signalling he's going to throw Swinger out. Nykk come up behind Chad with a half nelson bulldog. Chris Daniels pulls Nykk up to hit the Fall From Grace. He pulls Nykk up and tries to push him over the top rope. Colt Cabana hits the ropes and charges both of them. Chris Daniels sidesteps him and pushes Colt into Nykk, sending them both out. Swinger comes from behind Chris and tries to push him over, but Chris lands on the apron. The two of them trade right hands, Chris almost losing his grip. Concession Boy III and Jay square off. CB III hits a gutbuster on Jay. Chad Collyer hits Swinger from behind and pushes him over the top rope, he lands on the apron next to Chris Daniels. Daniels hits a right hand on Chad and he and Swinger double vertical suplex Chad out of the ring and dump him onto the floor. Swinger and Chris get in the ring. CB III whips Jay into the corner.

CB struggles free and backs up, hitting a dropkick to Swinger's knees. Chris Daniels grabs Swinger and hits the Angel's Wings. He stands up and turns to CB. CB charges Chris with a clothesline, but Chris ducks and shoves him back into the corner. He sets CB up on the top turnbuckle and starts to climb up, but Swinger stands up and attacks him from behind with a double ax handle. Chris turns and they trade right hands, then start to choke eachother. CB recovers and stands up on the top rope, about to jump, but Chris backs Swinger against the ropes, shaking them and sending CB to crotch himself on the top rope and fall to the outside.)
Winners: Christopher Daniels and Swinger
(The two of them continue to choke eachother, the refs from outside the ring jumping in to separate them.)
Tara: This is insanity in the ring right now, I don't know if these two realize they won.
Joel: Maybe they'll figure it out by the time we come back from commercial.
(Commercial Break.)
(Backstage, Rico Cassanova is walking out of his locker room. He walks by Colt Cabana and turns to face him.)
Rico: Well, a fine way to welcome back a tag team partner, dumping him over the top rope like that. Ah well, every man for himself after all. You think we should talk to Jon Z about getting back into the tag title hunt? I think...
(Colt cuts him off by covering his mouth.)
Colt: What are you talking about? Tag title hunt? You need a tag team for that kind of thing, and I don't see anyone that would make a decent partner. All I see is some washed up junkie trying to crawl back to his old life. True, I haven't been around much, I've been out touring Japan, I've been making dates for Ring of Honor. Where have you been? You vanished for a week and turned up in a rehab clinic with no idea who you were, how you got there, or where your power of attourney went. You know why I got into to FPPVW all those months ago? I went to team up with CM Punk, like I have time and time again. I teamed with him in ROH and we got gold. Then I showed up in FPPVW, and Punk was on his way out. I stuck it out because I had signed for a few shows, and Jon Z decides he needs another team for his big tournament. He looks at a list of names, sees Cassanova and Cabana and says, "wow, those are funny names, lets put them together." You think now that I'm back, and now that Jon Z actually knows what I can do, that I'm going to jump back into a team with a loser like you? Look, here's some advice. There's one right way to get to the top of this business. You gotta pull your head out of your ass, pull the needles out of your arms, pull the straws out of your nose, and make a f*cking statement! Make it loud, make it clear, and make it unmistakable. Fail that, and you'll probably end up right back in that hospital bed where you came from.
(He walks away, leaving Rico standing there speechless.)
("Lets All Go to the Lobby" hits and Concession Boy Sr. makes his way to the ring. He's selling toy championship belts.)
Tara: Well, his partner fell short of advancing toward a real championship, maybe Concession Boy III should buy one from his mentor.
("Rico Suave" hits and Rico Cassanova makes his way to the ring, walking sluggishly.)
Joel: Well, looks like the wind is completely out of Rico's sails after the verbal dress-down that his one time partner gave him.
Tara: It was a bit harsh, Rico did get clean after all.
Concession Boy Sr. vs. Rico Cassanova
(Concession Boy Sr. keeps control most of the match. Rico breaks away from a northern lights suplex attempt and kicks SB Sr. in the head. He tries for the Kiss of Death, but CB Sr. drops to one knee and blocks, breaking away and standing up, hitting a german suplex, bridging for a three count.)
Winner: Concession Boy Sr.
Tara: Wow, a quick victory by Concession Boy Sr. It looks like Rico had trouble concentrating.
Joel: Well he better get his focus back quickly if he expects to impress the RCW crowd.
Tara: We still have three big matches left, including an RCW Championship match. Stay with us.
(Commercial Break.)
(Backstage, Pinky walks into a locker room. Cheesecake is sitting inside looking bummed out.)
Pinky: Cheesecake, you ready?
Cheesecake: I th'uppo'the
(Pinky stares at him blankly until Cheesecake nods to indicate he meant "yes")
Pinky: Come on now, you got eliminated from that big, crowded, lots of people falling match, but you can still impress the crowd in your tag match next.
Cheesecake: Yeah...but I coulda had a th'ingle'th title. A'th much as I love being with Huh, but I ju'th't wanna show what I can do on my own.
Pinky: Well...I'll see if I can get you that opportunity.
Cheesecake: Thank'th. (he stands up, smiling now) Now let'th get out there and give everyone a little Chee'th'ecake until they choke on it!
Pinky: Uh...okay.
(They rush out of the room. A flush is heard and Huh steps out of the bathroom, toilet paper stuck in his pants and trailing behind him, apparently still attatched to the roll.)
Huh: Is it almost time for the match? Uh...hello?
(In the arena, Shawn Luss and Eric Noe are in the ring, dressed in black pants and shined shoes with plain white t shirts.)
Joel: These two in the ring, Shawn and Eric, have recently graduated into the professional ranks, having had thier pro debut just earlier tonight. They are two of six men to make it through RCW's training camp, although it looks like they have a lot to learn still when it comes to showmanship.
Tara: We'll see if they can hang when the action starts, after all that's what really counts here in RCW.
("Pajamarama" hits and Cheesecake makes his way to the ring, accompanied by Pinky.)
Joel: Are you sure?
Tara: Where's Huh? This is a tag team match, after all.
(Cheesecake gets into the ring and poses provocitively to the disgust of Eric and Shawn.)
Eric Noe and Shawn Luss vs. The Eccentrics
(Eric starts the match against Cheesecake, as Huh is still missing from ringside. The two circle, locking up with Cheesecake taking Eric down with an armdrag, applying a headlock.)
Tara: This young man is Eric Noe, the more trim of the two. The more portly of the pair in the corner is Shawn Luss. These two have been really quiet backstage, almost shy. I'm afraid I don't know enough about them to tell.
(Cheesecake moves into a waistlock as Eric tries to get to his feet. After a moment Eric screams and struggles to get away. Cheesecake holds on and hits a release German Suplex. He gets up quickly and hits a running dropkick to Eric's head. Cheesecake gets up on the ropes, showing off with a double bicep flex as Eric backs into the opposite corner and props himself up. Cheesecake turns and sees him, grinning and running as if going for a bronco buster. Eric scrambles and rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope, Cheesecake skids to a stop and looks dissapointed. Eric gets back in the ring slowly, climbing the steps and reluctantly stepping through the ropes. He locks up with Cheesecake again, Cheesecake trying for an armwringer. Eric reverses into a hammerlock and transitions to a side headlock. Cheesecake grabs Eric's ass and Eric shreaks, quickly taking Cheesecake over with a headlock takedown. He lets go and applies a boston crab, but Cheesecake reaches the ropes easily.)
Tara: Eric is showing a little of his training, but that was a rookie mistake right there, not knowing where he is in the ring.
(Eric stands up and reaches for the tag, Shawn getting in the ring. Cheesecake stands and is hit with a hard shoulderblock. Cheesecake stumbles back and lands on his ass, looking up at Shawn with a smirk. He stands up and bangs on his chest, backing into the ropes and trying for a shoulderblock of his own. Shawn stays up and dares Cheesecake to try again, pointing to the ropes. Cheesecake backs into the ropes again and trys another shoulderblock. Shawn still stays up and jumps in place, daring Cheesecake to try one more. Cheesecake backs into the ropes and jumps into Shawn's arms, trying to kiss him. Shawn holds Cheesecake back, looking paniced, and hits a spinebuster. Cheescake gets back up slowly, his back hurting. Shawn tries for a T-Bone Suplex, but Cheesecake hits a knee to the midsection and hits a swinging neckbreaker. He crawls for his corner, which is still empty. Huh suddenly runs out, toilet paper still trailing behind him. He jumps up on the apron and tags himself in.)
(Huh jumps into the ring and hits a shoulderblock that sends Shawn tumbling to the mat and rolling into his corner, where he tags in Eric. Eric climbs to the top rope and goes for a missle dropkick. Huh trips and falls over his own foot, making the dropkick miss. He stands up and looks up at the turnbuckle, seemingly confused that Eric isn't up there. He turns around and trips over Eric, landing on him and getting a two count. Huh rolls off Eric and gets to his feet. Eric hits an elbow to the gut as he stands up and whips Huh into a neutral corner. He hits a dropkick to the back that bounces Huh out of the corner and onto his back. Eric climbs the ropes and jumps, going for a 450 splash. Huh rolls out of the way and climbs up using the ropes. Eric stands up and his hit with a DDT. Huh tags Cheescake back in.)
(Cheesecake steps behind Eric as he stands, and goes for the waistlock again, hitting the Screw-Driver. Huh tackles Shawn before he can break up the pin as Cheesecake gets the three count.)
Winner: The Eccentrics by pin.
Tara: The Screw-Driver has put Eric down!
Joel: As Cheesecake went down ON Eric.
Tara: Now that's just infantile.
Joel: Yup, that's the age I learned that joke.
Tara: Don't go anywhere, we've got a match up next that might just make Joel Gertner explode live on Fox Sports Digital!
(Commercial Break)
("Come Out Swinging" hits and Lisa Letty makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: Welcome back to Foundation.
Joel: Bring on the chicks! I love this show!
Tara: I'm Tara Fisher, of course, and this man who's making Jerry Lawler look tame and reserved is Joel Gertner.
("My Last Breath" hits and Jade makes her way to the ring.)
Tara: The female competitors here in RCW are still in an uproar over the new Ladies RCW Champion Shadow. She's set to defend her title at Homecoming Hell, but a number one contender has not been named. I've been told that a six woman scramble match has been signed for next week for the right to challenge for the belt.
Joel: Six women? It'll be just like my 16th birthday party all over again.
Lisa Letty vs. Jade
(Lisa keeps control with a series of holds on the mat, applying a bow and arrow lock that almost gets Jade to tap. Lisa lets go and pulls Jade up, whipping her into the corner. Lisa goes for a clothesline, but Jade ducks under and pushes Lisa into the corner, hitting a knife edge chop. She tries another but Lisa blocks and uses the ropes to hold herself up as she hits a double leg kick on Jade. She lifts herself up to the top rope and goes for the Letty Press, but Jade catches her and hits a shoulderbreaker, covering for a three count.)
Winner: Jade
Tara: Wow! Jade came from out of nowhere with that shoulderbreaker.
Joel: I'd like to see her come out of...
Tara: Do you know what happened to the last guy who had your job?
Joel: Oh, fine.
(Shadow runs down the aisle holding her title belt. She jumps in the ring and smashes Jade over the head with the belt. Lisa stands up, and Shadow drops the belt to hit the Interceptor on her. She goes outside and grabs a mic.)
Shadow: Jade, I hope you enjoyed your moment of triumph. You victory brought no gold, and that is the way it will stay. It goes for all the women of RCW, that this title will now and forever stay in shadow!
(Naomi Leach appears in the crowd behind Shadow, and grabs her from behind with a rear naked choke. Shadow pulls her forward over the guardrail, then turns and backs her into the corner post. She steps away from her and is hit with a plancha from Jade. Shadow and Jade get up and start brawling outside, Mary Alica Latino runs down to the ring and starts brawling too, as Lisa slides outside to join in and Naomi gets to her feet. Concession Girl and Kumiko Indohara run out soon after. Referees try and break up the brawl, but they just get lost in the fighting.)
Joel: This is so much like this dream I had once it's scary.
Tara: All your dreams are scary to me. We have to take our last commercial break, stay with us!
(Commercial Break.)
("One Step Closer" hits and Chris Stylez makes his way to the ring.)
Tara: We're back, and as hard as it was, officials were able to separate the women out here.
Joel: Unfortunately so. Though you shouldn't worry at home, next week you'll get to see six of them go at it, and it won't be stopped that time without a winner.
Tara: In the meantime, Chris Stylez is set to take on our RCW Champion.
("Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse makes his way to the ring.)
Joel: Alan has been a fighting champion, no doubt about that. Occasionally though, one has to question the process behind choosing his opponents. Chris Stylez is indeed a talented wrestler, but he's mainly concerned with the tag team scene here in RCW. What would happen to his team with Johnny Kashmere if he had to focus on defending the RCW Championship?
Tara: It might be difficult to split his time between the two persuits, but no one here in RCW is going to pass up the chance to wear that gold.
Alan Mayse vs. Chris Stylez
RCW Championship Match
(Chris takes control early with a double underhook backbreaker, that stops Alan's fast pace offence. He tries to lock on the Stylez Bridle, but Alan gets a foot under the ropes. Chris gets up and backs into the ropes. Alan stands and is caught with a flying headscissors takedown. He keeps Alan stunned on the mat with a couple hard right hands and gets up to jump to the top turnbuckle, hitting a moonsault for two.)
(Chris pulls Alan up and whips him to the ropes. He puts his head down for a backdrop, but Alan kicks it and whips Chris to the ropes, catching him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He locks on a surfboard, letting go quickly and running the ropes, hitting a dropkick to the chest. He goes to the top rope and jumps into a senton splash. He turns and covers for two.)
(Chris rolls under the bottom rope and stands up on the apron. Alan gets up and walks to lock up with him, but Chris kicks him through the top and second ropes and jumps over for a sunset flip. Alan fights to stay upright and gets his foot free to stomp on Chris' chest, then turns and hits a standing moonsault. He gets up and signals the end is near to the crowd. He tries to lock on the Maysochist, but Chris breaks away and gets up to his feet. He charges with a clothesline, but Alan ducks. Chris turns and hits a reverse DDT. Chris stands and backs up against the ropes, waiting. Alan gets up and Chris quickly whips him into the corner and goes to the top rope, preparing for the Stylish Neckbreaker. Alan turns and chops at Chris' chest. Chris falls onto the top turnbuckle and Alan climbs up, pulling Chris into position and hitting a top rope Tiger Bomb for the pin.)
Winner: Alan Mayse by pin.
Tara: Alan Mayse successfully defends the RCW title, though I think Chris Stylez put up more of a challenge than Alan anticipated.
Joel: Chris Stylez has nothing to be ashamed of. That was an amazing match, and a great way to wrap up this week's Foundation.
("Copa Cabana" hits and Colt Cabana makes his way to the ring.)
Joel: Uh, I said wrap up Foundation, this is supposed to be the end. What's Colt Cabana doing out here?
Tara: Don't ask me, I didn't invite him.
(Colt gets to the ring and asks for a mic.)
Colt: Well, it's good to be back! Hello Richmond! It's been some time since I've been in an RCW ring, and getting to come back and compete in that battle royale earler was a great treat. Sure I lost, but that's the thing about battle royales. ANYONE can win. Now you might think I'm out here just to chat with you fine folks of Indiana, and if you had any that might be true. To be honest, I came out because of something I said earlier to me old tag team partner. I told Rico Cassanova something that's been sticking in my mind all night. I told him how to get ahead in this business, and I realized I hadn't done it yet. At least not in RCW. I told Rico what you need to do is to make a statement, so I'm here to make one. That statement is as follows. Alan Mayse...YOU SUCK!
(Colt charges Alan with a clothesline and stomps on him, picking him up and trying to lift him. Alan pushes himself back and into the ropes, missing with a clothesline. Colt turns and hits a dropkick to the knee. Colt gets up fast and pulls Alan into a double underhook, lifting him up to hit Colt .45. Colt gets up and stands over Alan, waving to the crowd as they boo him.)
Tara: Colt Cabana just layed out the RCW Champion!
Joel: He was right. He made a statement, and he made it loud and clear.
Tara: That's all the time for Foundation, we'll be back next week. For Joel Gertner, this is Tara Fisher. Good night.
