Fans, we are back, and Mike Powers is on his way to the ring...and we're about
to look at two of the up and comers in the business.
Lookie here, Chris...
That's Cross...
Chris, Cross, whatever, I'm a man at work here. POWERS is an up and comer.
Militar de FRAUD, or should I say Saul, is nothing but Mary Lou Retton in
a mask. Some american yutz trying to cash in on the proud tradition of the
luchador.
You don't seriously believe that claptrap Mike Powers was spouting about
Furia, do you?
Why shouldn't we? Didn't you ever wonder why Furia never had a green card?
I always thought he was an illegal immigrant..but no, he's from Florida. How
much worse is that?
Fans, we have these prerecorded comments from Militar de Fur..
SAUL!!! His name is SAUL!!!
from Furia now....taped from earlier in the evening....
@%@%@%@%@%%@%@@%@%@%@%@%@%%@%@%@%@%%%@%@%%@%@%@%@%%@@%@%
(Camera opens on Furia walking towards the camera from the parking lot in
streets clothes, jeans, black Furia shirt and a red mask, carrying his
wrestling attire in a duffle bag. He notices the camera...)
[Furia, to camera man,still walking, camera following]
"Oye, what you up to ese? It's nothing special that I'm coming into the
building...why are you filming me? (right into camera, waving)Hey what's
up everybody! Hope you're all ready for some wrestling action! Geez, I
feel like i'm on the Real World or something..."
(They're walking through the halls of the building now,past the locker
rooms and crew...)
[Furia]
" Hey, you know something, I got an idea, tell those guys in the back to
cue up my music."
(camera cuts to the entrance ramp as "Staring at the Sun" by Offspring
cues. An unsuspecting crowd pops hard as Furia, still toting his duffle
bag makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with the fans. He stops,
notices a sign that "?Quienes tu papa?" and laughs...Furia throws his bag
into the ring, jumps from floor to apron and scales the turnbuckle
saluting the fans...then moonsaults into the ring. they throw him a
mic...)
[Furia]
"Oye amigos! Vosotros estais locos! Gracias. Man, you fans are hot
tonight! (pop)
You know, all I want to do is perform for you all out in the crowd, who
paid to watch here tonight and for all of you at home watching on the
television. (pop for the fan acknowledgment) I fought hard in that 3 way
dance for the light heavyweight title and came so close to persevering
and coming out on top, I salute my fellow competitors, they also put on a
good match. But recently, there's been this guy who's been criticizing
me for my high flying moves, but you know, that's just what I thought you
all want. (YEAH!) Mike Powers (boo) you come out here flailing your ego
wildly in the air and want some recognition for what you do in the ring?
Listen chico, you have to earn the fans' respect. You can't come out and
whine about it. Pone su dinero donde su su boca esta. I'll see you in
the ring later tonight, and let's see if your wrestling skills can earn
you the respect of your fellow competitors, but most importantly, the
fans."
("Staring at the Sun" by Offspring cues up again as Furia slides out from
under the rops,slaps hands with the fans some more as they cheer and
makes his way to the back...)

MATCH #3: Mike Powers vs. Militar de Furia
+++SHORT REPORT MODE ON+++
Powers is laying across the ropes in a lazy fashion when "Staring at the Sun"
comes on..but no Furia....this is because Furia comes out from the crowd
and very quickly leaps up into a twisting headscissors rana sending
Powers into the ring. This is followed by two quick dropkicks before
Powers rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair. After a minute of feinting
by Furia and abject stalling by Powers, referee Mason Crow makes Furia back
up and Powers s-s-l-o-w-l-y gets back into the ring. Upon re-entering, he
pulls the ref over to him, points to Furia and says "Don't you see it?
Isn't it awful?" Cross comments on Powers going back to that whole
Saul Rosenfeld thing, while Byron keeps hyping that it's true.
Powers walks over to Furia and says "I'm going to give you one last chance to admit
it, SAUL!"...and before he can answer, he slaps the taste out of his mouth to
a significant amount of boos...and then sticks his head out of the ropes before
Furia can do anything about it, forcing the ref to force Furia back. Powers
edges back in, they lock up, Powers gets an armtwist, but Furia goes into
an armtwist of his own, then monkeyflips Powers over. Once Furia gets back
up, tho, Powers sticks his head and torso outside of the ropes again to the
boos of the crowd. Furia has had enough, and, while Powers' back is turned,
leapfrogs Powers over the ropes and hits a legdrop coming down on the back
of Powers' head, causing his body to rock like a seesaw before falling out
of the ropes. This got a pop from the crowd.
Furia goes right to work with chops to the chest of Powers, followed by a
short-arm kneesmash. Out of Powers' hunched over position, Furia immediately
goes for the powerbomb, but Powers fires off several fast rights before twisting
and spinning into a falling DDT on the concrete. A small pop for the sheer
ugliness of the move ensued.
Powers gets up and rolls Furia back into the ring, then follows suit. Kicks
to the face and stomach follow, with Powers eventually picking Furia up, sending
him to the ropes, and hitting a hard double chop to the chest, knocking Furia
down...
...unfortunately, Furia pops right back up as Powers turns around to fire a
retort at the ringside fan, and hits a series of hard knife-edges, each one
knocking Powers on his ass, forcing Powers to scramble to his feet, and then
knocking him on his ass again. Furia grabs Powers arm, does a quick twist,
pulls the arm over his shoulder and yanks down, hyperextending it, and then
twists out of it into a short-arm clothesline, which is ducked by Powers.
Powers attempts a mulekick, but Furia grabs his leg, and Powers nails a
front brain kick with the other foot that drops Furia onto his back.
Powers then stomps some more to the face and the chest of Furia, then tries
to go after his mask, yelling "ADMIT IT!!!! STOP LIVING A LIE!!!!" as the
fans booed....Furia fired an elbow to the stomach of Powers to stop the mask
attempt, then slides between his legs baseball style, kips up, and nails a
spinwheel kick that backs Powers to the ropes. Furia with a kick to the
stomach, then the leg, then a HARD one to the face, before Furia attempts a
huracanrana....which Powers reverses into a running liger bomb that scores
a 2 count.
Powers grabs Furia, hits a bodyslam followed by a standing forward sommersault
legdrop, 2 count. Powers climbs onto Furia, hits three rights to the head,
then goes for the mask again, actually getting the mask twisted around so that
Furia was blinded. Powers immediately with stiff kicks to the face as Furia
flailed around, trying to connect with something. A *wild* swing by Furia is
ducked by Powers, and Furia almost falls over the ropes..as he comes back up,
Powers runs, jumps, and springboards backwards, nailing a reverse DDT on
Furia on the way back. 2 count. He immediately gets into Furia's face,
"Stone Cold" style, yelling "GIVE IT UP, SAUL! YOU'RE A FRAUD!!!" At this
point, Crow forces Powers to get back long enough for Furia to adjust his mask
Powers grabs Furia, teardrop suplex, followed by a measured elbowdrop right in
the square of the face. Picks up Furia, hits a powerbomb, then stays locked
for the double powerbomb...but this time, Furia hits a pinning rana for a
2 1/2 count on Powers. Unfortunately, Furia is still dazed, and can't follow
up, allowing Powers to pick up Furia, whip to the ropes, Yakuza kick that
sends Furia right onto his ass. Powers to the top rope, split leg moonsault,
2 3/4 count. Powers argues briefly with the referee, then picks Furia up, sends
him to the ropes again, Furia ducks a spinning elbow, then nails a rope bounce
handstand spring elbow (aka the Tajiri rebound elbow) that drops both men to the
canvas. Count is laid on both men until Powers rolls over and gets a two count.
Both men to their feet, Powers misses with a right, Furia connects with a roundhouse
kick, then a dropkick right between the eyes, sending Powers down. Furia
grabs Powers, sends him to the ropes, Powers ducks a kick, then comes back
and Furia firemans carries him into a samoan drop. Furia then goes for the Super
Crazzy Memorial triple moonsault, but after the second one Powers manages
to get his knees up. Powers is up, lifts Furia onto the top rope, then goes
up. Powers goes for a superduper plex, but Furia tries twisting it into a
swinging DDT, which fails when Powers drops straight down, almost crotching himself
on the top turnbuckle but causing Furia to land with a thud on the campus.
Powers gets back up, IMMEDIATELY nails his skytwister moonsault for the finisher,
and gets a slightly fast 3 count from Crow.
*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*
* Mike Powers, via pinfall, 14:56 *
*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*WINNER*
And already, ALREADY Powers is a much better wrestler than he was even a
month ago. He didn't do any of that showboating crap, he just got the job
done. And that finisher hit proved it, Furia didn't have time to breathe.
And Powers apparently isn't done yet...he's got Furia tied up in the ropes now..
Oh, look at this, spin kick to the face of Militar de Furia..he's trying to
make him confess.
And Powers doing his bit for community service tonight, trying to get Furia
to release his inner demons. Come on Saul, it's OK to be an American..and you
can't be THAT ugly under there. On second thought...
<>
Powers now finally being led away..and Militar de Furia is hurt in there, folks..
they're trying to get him off the ring ropes..fans, we'll be back shortly....

Voice Over]
Do gang beatings have you down in the dumps?
(cut to a shot of three men in spikes tossing a masked businessman around a
locker room)
[VO]
Are you _still_ getting hit with chairs?
(one, two, three, chair shots level the masked suit, busting him open)
[VO]
Have you finally tired of the taste of wood?
(first a powerslam drives the masked man through the table, then a piledriver)
[VO]
If so, we're the men for you!!!
(Rip-Tide and Vertigo step into the picture flexing and posing)
[VO]
Fast...effective...and relatively cheap...
(the boys take out the trio of goons, and then collect a heap of money from
the masked business man)
[VO]
The Chaos Brigade. If you can't do it...we will, for a price. Call
1-800-BREAKEM to schedule an appointment.

[We cut to the backstage where Adrienne Solo is, once again, backstage
awaiting our next combatants. Suddenly, as if they just came out of
nowhere, the Chaos Brigade appear behind Solo--she almost has a heart attack
and is obviously flustered by their size.]
[AS]
Oh my, Rip-tide, Vertigo, last week on Impact we saw your advertisement and
in-ring debut in the EWC. Tonight you're facing T.R. Parker and Joshua
Collins, two men with a LOT of enemies. Who is paying you for this excursion?
[Rip-Tide]
No one--it's a freebie. We're considering it business development.
[Vertigo]
You see, last week we aired a witty, high quality, entertaining,
advertisement. Then we came out and annihilated two punks on live
television. We figured we were good to go. What did it get us? Not too
much.
[Rip-Tide]
We obviously underestimated the cynicism of the wrestler's of the EWC.
They are all so used to double-crosses, SO AFRAID of being attacked from
behind that people seemed to doubt our sincerity. And that hurt...it
pissed us off.
[Vertigo]
So late last week, R-T and I went to the EWC offices and found this open
contract signed by two of the big guns in this fed. We didn't even
blink--we just placed our names on the contract and now we're ready to hurt
some people.
[Rip-Tide]
Maybe you didn't believe we're really businessmen. Maybe you weren't
sure if we're worth the money. To all the doubters out there, keep your
eyes on that ring tonight, and when we're done, and you're salivating at the
thought of hiring us...
[Vertigo]
Call one of our TOLL FREE NUMBERS!!! 1-800-SMASHEM or 1-800-BREAK-EM...
[Rip-Tide]
...Tell us your problems, and we'll make them go away-permanently.
[Vertigo]
Just remember, we're the Chaos Brigade...
[Voice Over from nowhere]
Causing havoc whether you want us to or not.

Back to you, guys.
