They come back and show these clips from last week... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ (clips from last week) [Watkins] Well, well, well. If it isn't the luckiest man in EWC. Do you know how close you were to the biggest beating of your life? [Feelgood] I know how close I am to laying the smackdown on a roid-addicted no talent loser like you! *snip* DrS: And Feelgood ON HIS KNEES in the ring begging Brad to come in! Cross: Brad's on the apron right now...referee telling him to get in the ring...Feelgood rushing in.. Stone: And WATKINS NAILS HIM WITH THE FOOTBALL HELMET!!! I *knew* Watkins was trying for a sucker job. *snip* Feelgood starts to fight back, eventually getting in a toe to toe brawl with Mr. Watkins. Watkins tries for a haymaker, but Feelgood comes down with a low blow, followed by a DDT. Feelgood back up, Reikkersen is on the apron, Reikkersen gets nailed with a Wrecking Ball and the Haliburton flies open...and out pops a kneepad that lands in the hands of Watkins. As Crow went to check on Reikkersen, Watkins WAFFLES Feelgood with the kneepad, then covers as Crow turns around for the 1...2....3! ################################################ # WINNER: "Bad" Brad Watkins, via pinfall 5:43 # # NEW EWC TV CHAMPION!!! # ################################################ -------- *snip to Doc in the locker room* [Feelgood] Watkins, look at me. Do I look upset? Hell, no. I knew you were a no account, low down, pond scum sucking, punkass loser when you dragged your sorry carcass to the EWC. I knew good and damn well I should have had some backup.. well now I do. The Samaritan stuck his neck out to help me, and I don't forget things like that. But y' see, I've also got someone else coming in to keep an eye on me, and if you mess with her.... I still won't get upset. Nah. I'll simply rip your head off, spit down your neck and use your windpipe to wipe with after a dinner of buffalo wings and cheap beer. Hell, I think I'll do that anyway. Oh... and as far as that sad sack of crap, C-Jackof... I mean, C-Jack? Loserboy, what you got from me was a simple damn sample of the world of hurt you've got coming to you somewhere down the line. Any time you want some, punk, step your sorry ass on up. Come get some, EWC, come get some. (fade to black) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH RONNIE FROWN vs. HAPPY DAWSON The announcers are hyping both the Feelgood rant and the upcoming match when Cross is told to get a camera into the back...and it shows Happy Dawson standing outside of Frown's locker room, holding referee Mason Crow by the shirt collar....Frown's music, "Ronnie" by Metallica starts...and Ronnie walks out of the dressing room right into the stop sign held by Dawson. And the match is off. This match was a good basic 6 minute garbage brawl..Frown had a ring mic on him when he was on his way out, so Happy co-opted it and was making comments throughout the brawl....after hanging Happy over a railing Tree of Woe style, he said "Time to turn this Frown upside down" then hit a sliding dropkick to send him four feet down to the next level...after hitting a really stiff chair shot, he said "Uh ohhhh... Happy learned to Brawl" ....things like that. This was the basic gist of the match, as both men basically pounded on each other with everything not nailed down. The best spot in this was when Frown basically belly-to-bellies Dawson right into a concrete post, then held him there and told the ref to count the pin...since the shoulders were down it didn't matter if it was vertical or horizonal...Crow counted it and got a 2.5 out of it. Finally, after a *NICE* flying elbowdrop from 10 feet up (Dawson jumped off a gangway), both the ref *AND* the cameraman got taken out by the fall. The camera fell at an angle where we could see Dawson cover Frown..and then nothing but ref stripes. A few seconds later, the ref gets up, raises Dawson's hand, and takes off....as we see Mason Crow still unconscious out of the corner of the camera.....and the other ref gets Dawson...with the hint of some sort of mask, as only the base of the neck is shown with the body... ########################################### # WINNER: Happy Dawson, via pinfall 8:01 # ########################################### They go to one final commercial..and then the main event of the evening....I'm going to go ahead and write in what the announcers are saying here in the beginning since it makes more sense that way.... BEST OF FIVE SERIES FUEGO vs. CHRIS SIM (non-title match) Sim out to his normal light show, wearing a hat to cover the bandages from the smackdown he got last week....unfortunately, rather than just getting into the ring he, of course, has a mic... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ [Sim] Now I know everyone is so glad to see me up and about ... (A "Bullshit" chant starts up) and i'd personally like to thank each and every one of you for sending those get well cards. But the thing is I didn't have to read one of them because i'm ok, DrS: OK meaning his ass was Overly Kicked by Grendel last week... Stone: Shut up, you old fart, he's talking. DrS: He's talking out of his ass, that's probably the flatulence you seem to be smelling... in fact my neck feels better now than it has since I started wrestling ... and you know why? Because even with the help of his friends Grendel can't get the job done! (A "Kick his ass Ernie" chant starts with "Again" thrown in by various people) Ern, you're sadly mistaken when you say that I can't beat you, when you know and I know, hell, when everyone knows I can beat anyone Grendel remember I *beat* you enough to keep you out of the ring for about a month and now you had the opportunity to put me out and look i'm back the very next week! And this after I was nailed by Gilette with a bottle of beer. (Crowd pop!) Ern, remember when I put you into the hospital I did it face to face! *I* was the one who put you into that position, *I* didn't get any help, and frankly *I* didn't need it. The only thing you have proven to me is that you are nothing without Gilette and Curtis, sure your record may be two and o against me but by no means have you ever beaten me. ("Ernie, Ernie") And, the simple fact is I *have* beaten you, I beat you within an inch or your life. As for your second win, you can thank Gilette and Curtis for that one, like I said Ern, *you* have never beaten *me*, because of one simple fact ... you can't ... and you know you can't get the job done! Now Ern, since we all know you can't beat me. But *you* seem to think you can i'll make you an offer you can't refuse. Grendel, you like to think your hardcore? Now, it doesn't take any skill to be hardcore, and i'll prove that when I get into the ring with you. You see I believe my extraordinary talent can put me on top in any situation, so next time we meet i'll beat you i'll beat you in a *no interference, no disqualification, falls count anywhere match* (Crowd pop to the stars!) Cross: WHAT!?!?!?!? DrS: Oh baby......Sim just doesn't know when to shut up, does he? because Ern, I am better than you the stips they mean nothing, and i'll prove it once and for all! (Sim motions to put down the mic, but doesn't) Oh Ern, I forgot something ... this of course is under one condition. You and for that matter Curtis and Gilette cannot lay one finger on me, or beer bottle, or whatever object, until that match, because if you do then that verbal contract is null and void, and I will *never* step into the ring with you again under any circumstance. (Booooooo!) So, how bad do you want me Grendel? You thought you'd get me the hottest commodity in wrestling *that* easily? And with your record, don't make me laugh! Now that i've cleared up the Grendel situation, that of course brings us to you Fuegy. (A "Fuego's gonna kill you" chant starts up at the mention of his name) Now, as I was saying before, I *was* playing nice, and because you decided to get a little help from your friends last week i've decided to get a little help from mine this week! For your *first* surprise here are the stipulations for this weeks match ... ("Fire on High" by the Electric Light Orchestra kicks in and the crowd beings to boo as soon as they recognize it.) you get to face the greatest wrestler on earth, that of course being me, and Frozen Hell in a *handicap* match! (Quite a few boos but a lot of stunned silience) Cross: Now, wait a minute, 3 against 1? This isn't fair!! Stone: It may not be fair, but it's LEGAL!!! Sim's picking the stips, that was Fuego's nightmare....and this is it!!!! [Watkins] So this is the Brazilian tree frog that is supposed to be so tough? Well Fellatio, you don't look so tough to me! [Sim] That's Fuegy Brad ... [Watkins] Hey, I know his name. I call him Fellatio because he's going down ... and he sucks! [Sim] Ok, that's true, and you know what else is true ... When it's all said and done, I don't need to get mad, 'cause I know i'll always get even. (Sim stands back and lets Frozen Hell move toward the ring....) ================= At this point, "Rusty Cage" kicks in and the crowd absolutely loses it. Fuego, minus World belt, runs into the ring and springboards from the top rope right onto Watkins and starts pounding the bejeezus out of him. Watkins is screaming "GET HIM OFF!! GET HIM OFF!!!!"...finally Reikkersen and Sim move in, and Fuego cleans house for a little bit before Watkins blindsides him with the loaded knee to the back and the "match" gets underway. This is basically a four minute beatdown...with Sim only getting into the ring to help with a double team or a cheat....Watkins spends the most time in there, as Reikkersen already wrestled a match tonight and doesn't look all that good in there....basic brawling mainly. Finally Fuego is beaten down and Watkins teases a tag in to Sim... but instead powerslams Fuego and goes for a pin, but only gets a two count. Watkins tosses Fuego out, where Fuego is stomped on by Reikkersen...finally, Fuego low-blows Reikkersen, then CRUSHES him into the pavement with the Mudslide. Fuego then grabs a chair, slides into the ring, and WAFFLES first Watkins, then Sim, in full view of referee Gerry Riley. Riley immediately calls for the bell. #################################### # WINNER: Chris Sim, by DQ 4:22 # #################################### Postmatch, Fuego going to town on all 3 men until Watkins nails Fuego in the back with the kneepad...then Sim grabbed the chair and hit four straight shots on Fuego's head as Reikkersen and Watkins held him.....he was about to tee off for a fifth when... [voice] OK, THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!! (all three men stop as Tara Jansen walks out from the back and walks to the ringside area....Sim gets up and goes for a ring mike... [Sim] Um, excuse me, sweetness, I know I'm late getting back to our hotel room, but I'm in the middle of whipping ass on this jungle trash.... [Jansen] (interrupting) Chris, to quote a very famous man, KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR *bleep*DAMN MOUTH!!!!! *CROWD POP TO THE HEAVENS* (Sim throws down the mike and moves towards her...Tara doesn't back up an inch) [Jansen] Look, I've been quiet while you've been coming out here, week after week, costing us air time....we came in second in the ratings to a damn DOG SHOW in the quarter hour..the ENTIRE quarter hour...that you flapped your gums out here. Now it's my turn. FIRST of all, this crock of *bleep* stops now....you may be able to pick the stips of your matches, but you have to pick five *different* stips...it's what the contract says...so from here on out, you and Fuego get to be one on one...granted, I had fun watching Fuego tattoo both you and the Ambiguously Gay Duo here with the chair, but that was unfair advantage, and I"m not letting that slide again. NOW, a few weeks ago, you said that your North American title was going to be on the line against Fuego in this best of 5 series. Now, we haven't worked through all the complications of the World belt yet...but suffice to say that until Fuego wins two matches in this series..if he does...no belt will be on the line. Which MEANS that you ahve one week to defend that North American title under the 30 day defense rule....which means, you get to fight NEXT WEEK with that title on the line!!! (CRowd pop...Sim's not happy, but he's just looking at her) Now, I've managed to find you an opponent......one of your close personal friends, and the only man other than Fuego to hold a pinfall victory over you....Mr. Ernie Grendel!! (Crowd starts to roar...they get a sense where this is going.. as does Sim...) And since you were so *nice* to make that challenge earlier, I really have to honor your request. Which means NEXT WEEK, you will defend the North American title in a no interference, anything goes FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH with Mr. Ernie Grendel..a man whom you've *never* beaten in the ring. (Tara turns to walk away as Sim has this look of terror on his face..) [Jansen] Oh, by the way, I never date Canadians...I can't afford the rabies shots! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ With that, they have this shot of Sim in terror...right before Fuego gets up, grabs the chair, and tattoos everyone once to get them out of the ring as the show fades... THOUGHTS: Sim/Grendel FCA...that could go either way. With definite title defenses for Sim and Fuego coming up, it's anyones guess what kind of match they'll have for their finale, as you *know* that it's oging to go 5 rounds...and I wouldn't have it any other way. That's my thoughts...peace.
