(The opening strains of "Duel of the Fates" from "Star Wars Episode
One: The Phantom Menace" begins to build as the screen fades into
a medieval castle....as two knights in silver armor walk into
the arena hall as the lords and ladies of the realm sit and
watch them prepare to do combat.  The camera pans across the
shining silver armor and ornate swords, and we see reflections
of (in order) Fuego, Ernie Grendel, Chris Sim, TR Parker, Damien
Omega, Weapons of Last Resort, Chris Monroe, Torvald Reikkersen, 
and finally Roker Showtime in action in the reflections off the armor.  
Finally, both men charge at each other, and as the swords clash, they 
shatter, with the pieces swirling around and coming together into the words...)

(The image then shows flames in the background, and it shatters as Bill 
Curtis slides through the graphic and almost into your living room.  
The shards dissipate into a shot of an arena with enough people to at least 
make it seem like it's filled to capacity. Signs are zoomed in and out as 
the crowd cheers like there's  no tomorrow)

Graphic: VANESSA STONE           ISAAC CROSS      DR. TONY STRANGE

		Fans, welcome to another edition of EWC Lords of the ring.
		It's SUMMERTIME, and that can only mean some HOT SUMMER 				NIGHTS lie ahead for the superstars of the EWC. Issac Cross
		here, along with the Icemaiden of the EWC, Vanessa Stone, and
		returning to the broadcast booth, WELCOME BACK, Dr. Anthony
		Strange.

		Yeah, Doc, good to see you...anything to keep Jimmy Lowe out
		of the broadcast box.

		Well, I don't think anyone alive can keep Lowe out of the box
		for long, if you smell what the Doc is cookin'.  Regardless, 
		it's wonderful to be back, and my doctor gave me a clean bill
		of health.

		Just in time for a hot night of action. Tonight, the World 
		Tag Team Titles are on the line in our main event, as the
		Weapons of Last Resort face off against Beyond Our Control.

		And if you ask me...and you should...that's a farce.  LeBeaux
		had to threaten Jackie Chan and the Marlboro Man to defend
		or else he'd strip the belts, and they're defending against
		a couple of lunatics that know how to hurt, but by their 		win/loss record certainly don't know how to win.

		Also on tap tonight, a very special tag team match...in one	
		corner, the team of Jon Owens and Nick Duncan...in the other,
		none other than former EWC World Champion Roker Showtime
		and the reigning North American champion, Damien Omega.

		And knowing that Roker and Owens have that big showdown 		coming up at Hot August Nights, this match could very easily
		be a preview of that.

		As well as a preview of the beatdown Duncan is going to 		deliver to Omega at HAN as well...Omega may be the champ
		of the EWC, but Duncan is the champ of the IeWS..and that
		means all the coffee you can drink, baby!

		Plus tonight we've got the Children of Apocalypse against
		TR Parker and the mysterious Wildcard, who returned in 		
		DRAMATIC fashion last week to aid TR Parker in defeating
		Jeremy Byron in a Loser Leaves Town match!

		And you will note it took both men PLUS some interference 		
		from the Mississippi Queen to pin Byron.  WHerever he ends
		up, I fear for the wrestlers there cause he's gonna have
		a mad-on and a half.

		We've also got Ernie Grendel in action, Sitting Bull of 		
		vs. Torvald Reikkersen and a whole...lot...more.  Right
		now, let's go to the ring for our first matchup!


MATCH #1: CURTIS STONE vs. "The Little Kahuna" MAUNAKEA BENARD

Despite Metallica's "The House That Jack Built" blaring over the
speakers, Benard stood in the ring alone, puzzled, and obviously more
than a little irritated. As the referee seemed about to do something
about it, the Solotron flared into life with C-Jack's face in super
close-up.

%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@@%%@@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@

["Virtual" C-Jack]
Wrestler, wrestler, above the aisles,
what's happened to your flashy smiles?

{Stone emerges from an arena archway to descend a staircase among the
fans, a mic in hand and a disdainful look on his face}

[CS]
WHAT HAPPENED?! You want to know what happened? Just look in the 
ring ... C-Jack is a WRESTLER. An ATHLETE. And who do the Powers That
Be expect the Elite Athlete of the EWC to face? Having had the GALL to
hold a pay-per-view without ME, the Jackster, the man for whom they
invented the word "wow", what big challenge do they set for C-Jack? 
An out of shape, out of luck, and out of my LEAGUE island boy!

WAKE UP, EWC! The future of wrestling is found right here, and its
theme music plays in the key of C-Jack ... You think by tossing me
no-talents like this, you can keep me buried? You're WRONG -- DEAD
WRONG! I'm going to get the gold that belongs around this 
perpetually perfect waist, and I'm going to it MY way! I don't need
any help from you board-room bozos -- I don't need help ANYBODY! So
you say the road to renown goes thru Don Ho here, fine -- get ready,
because the twenty-first century trend-setter is about to make a 
statement, and I'm going to tattoo it all over this Waikiki washout! 

%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@@%%@@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@

Stone practically sprints to the ring, hurdling the railing fairly
easily, and nails Benard with a clothesline as the bell rings to
start the match ... he follows it up with a fast-paced series of
kicks, bodyslams, and clotheslines off the ropes, before Maunakea
is able to put a boot to the gut as C-Jack bounces off the ropes
again ...

He then starts an offensive of his own, landing several dazing
punches and a somewhat awkward dropkick, then popping Stone into
a camel-clutch, but Stone's able to reach the ropes. He nails
Maunakea in the face with a forearm, a few return punches, and
drags him to the ropes to rake his eyes across it; whipping Benard
into the turnbuckle turns out to be a mistake, however, when he
gets clotheslined himself on the followup.

Benard bodyslams him, and sets up for a suplex, but Stone slips
behind Benard on the pick-up, and lays a forearm to the back of
the head, then scoops up the Hawaiian and rams him into the
turnbuckle with a running Canadian backbreaker. He lifts Benard up
one more time, driving him into the mat headfirst in a jumping
piledriver, before yelling at the ref to start the 1-2-3 ... 

		#########################################
		# WINNER: Curtis Stone, by pinfall 3:22 #
		#########################################

After the bell rings, C-Jack rolls out of the ring and picks up 
the mic again

[CS]
I hope you all were paying CLOSE attention, because there will be a
pop quiz later ... but for those of you who blinked, here's the Cliff
Notes version ... See Jack pin, see Jack win -- who stands alone?
C-JACK STONE!

{As his music starts up again, C-Jack heads back out over the railing
and up the stairs, waving off the boos of the audience.}

		YEAH, BABY, YEAH!!! You tell him, Curtis!

		Uhh, Vanessa, you were supposed to be *impartial*, last
		I checked.

		Since when?  I'm excited.  For the past several weeks I've
		been stuck watching white bread wussies like Damien Omega
		and useless hunks of meat like these Cut 'n Shoot 
		tournament losers.  It's great to see a *true* talent
		like Curtis Stone back in the game!

		Contrary to what he says, though, he was out for several	
		weeks due to a sprained ankle suffered at a non-televised
		show in Cleveland prior to the PPV..but he's back, and he's
		apparently looking for some title gold.  Fans, when 
		we return, it's the Cut 'n SHoot Tournament match, next!!!

MATCH #2: CUT 'N SHOOT HERITAGE TITLE TOURNAMENT QUALIFIER
	  DOCTOR FEELGOOD vs. "The Philosopher" MIKHAIL TZSKOVA

Tzskova comes out to loud boos, mainly due to the events of last week with
Titus Moongarden...Isaac Cross notes that Moongarden vs. Tzskova has been 
signed for the Free for All prior to the PPV.  Tzskova takes his sash, and 
folds it to set it on the announcers table...he enters the ring.

"Dr Feelgood" by Motley Crue comes on next and the fans warmly welcome their hero.  
"The Man they call Hardcore" bolts down to the ring, slapping the hands of various 
fans along the way.  Once he gets down there, he takes
the microphone and adresses the crowd:

%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@

[Feelgood]
Well, well, well..........

*CROWD POP* 

I know you haven't heard from me in a while, so let's get right down to the 
basic facts. I've got a match in this Cut N' Shoot Tournament against "The 
Philosopher". Well, pal, let me tell you about *my* philosophy, ya big 
steaming pile of Russian crap!

*crowd pop*

MY Philosophy is that I lace up my boots and I come down to the ring, and 
I beat the livin' dog out of two-bit losers who seem to think they're better 
than everybody else in the free damned world. For what you did to poor Titus
Moongarden, ol' Bertha here is going to lay an ass kickin' upside your fat
head. You want to talk about EVIL? I've been there. There ain't a person in
this damn building that doesn't remember when I had my head out whack and
was worshipping Satan. You want to talk about HIDDEN evil? I wasn't hidin'
a damned THING, pal, so you can just ram THAT up your babooshka. So just
get yourself ready for a good old fashioned Missouri ass kickin', pal, and
believe that the Doctor is in, your prescription is the EXTREME, and you
can do exactly two things about it - jack-crap, and nothing, and jack-crap
just left town!
                                  
%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@

		Well, I'd say the Doc is fired up to be back...

		As well he should be...specialty matches, especially
		those that tend to get into the "extreme" areas of our
		sport, are the good Doctor's specialty...Tzskova is out
		of his element here.
	
		Keep in mind, however, that that could work to Mikhail's
		advantage...whatever the stip is, he has to force Feelgood
		to work *his* match, not the other way around.  Get Feelgood
		into a submission hold away from anything not nailed down,
		and force the tapout.

		The wheel is being spun...and we've got...a FALLS COUNT 
		ANYWHERE match.

		Heh.  I retract my earlier statement.  Tzkova's out of his 		LEAGUE in this match.


The bell rings, and Feelgood charges right in with several left hands,
followed by a whip to the far turnbuckle and a leaping bell clap to stun
"The Philosopher" momentarily. Feelgood then bounces off the ropes, Mikhail 
ducks a Feelgood clothesline, then goes for a spinebuster, but Feelgood 
blocks and hits a belly to belly to send the Philosopher out of the ring.
That was the last semblance of a wrestling match this contest had.

Feelgood grabbed Bertha the ball bat to go over and lay waste to "The 
Philosopher", but Tzskova went low for a nut shot, then followed up 
with a DDT right onto the concrete.  He then took Feelgood's ball bat 
and whacked him in the back with it three times before tossing it out into the crowd.
He then picked Feelgood up in an atomic drop position, but instead he came
down on the knee, hurting Feelgood's left knee.  (Stone mentioned that 
that was the knee that had taken a pounding in various federations 
over the years)

Tzskova goes over for the timekeepers bell, but Feelgood kicks Mikhail right
into the sternum, causing him to drop the bell.  Feelgood then gets on
his feet and starts hitting rights to the face of the russian, then grabs
his arm and irish whips him right into the steel stairs.  Feelgood then jumps 
to the ring apron, and runs across the apron right into a hipbuster elbow
across the chest of Tzskova.  It was there that Feelgood decided to pick 
him up by his long white hair, and drags him up the ramp.  They brawl
generically through the Georgia dome, slugging and throwing things at one
another, as they head for the loading docks that lead outside the Georgia 
Dome.

		And now Feelgood taking him out of the main arena area, 
		and is headed back to the loading dock with the Philosopher.

		And this is the arena of Dr. Feelgood...just pounding on you
		anywhere and everywhere.

		And we do mean EVERYWHERE!  Feelgood and Tzskova are now
		outside the building! OOOOH, Tzskova with a low knee, and now 
		he's picking Feelgood up and DROPPING THAT LEG RIGHT ACROSS
		A PARKING RAIL!!!

In one of the fields nearby the Georgia Dome, there's a little league game
going on...score is 6-2 with the Subway team beating Harry's Bail Bonds
in the bottom of the 5th.  Feelgood notices this, and suplexes Tzskova onto
a cargo cart (usually used for moving packages and boxes and stuff) and 
pushes Tzskova across the street into where the sandlot is!!! They continue 
to brawl near the stands, with many of the fans taking notice of what's going
on.  Feelgood finally gets Tzskova into a pedigree on the dirt gravel ground,
and then whistles for a batboy, who tosses him a baseball bat.  He names it
Buelah on the spot and knocks "The Philosopher" silly with it about 3-4 times.  
Finally, he opens the door to a nearby portapotty, shoves the Philosopher in 
it's general direction, and then knocks him on the back with
the baseball bat, sending him headfirst into the john!

		Oh god, this is going to be disgusting, I can't watch this.
		*tosses off headset and leaves*

		Feelgood locking the John from the outside, now he's bringing 
		that pushcart over...and he tosses the john on its side
		ONTO THE CART....	

		I think I see where this is going...

		Feelgood pushing the portajohn over to a nearby ditch..
		construction work is going on....FEELGOOD SENDS THE JOHN
		RIGHT INTO THE DITCH!!! FORGET ABOUT IT, this one's history.

		I read about that game too..it was a doubleheader.  That
		john HAD to have gotten some use that day...

		The portajohn popped open as it went down the ditch...
		"The Philosopher" is slowly getting out of it, and he's
		got...stuff...on him.....

		When Mikhail is cognizant enough to realize what's going
		on he's going to be really, really PO'ed.....Feelgood down
		in the ditch, measuring him as he rises....WRECKING BALL
		CLOTHESLINE!!!!

		And that Russian Sickle variant has been doing the job for
		many years....referee counts it, but it's academic at this
		point..three!!! And Dr. Feelgood is in the finals!!!

		##########################################
		# WINNER: Dr. Feelgood, by pinfall  9:12 #
		##########################################

		And Feelgood climbs out of the ditch and greets the
		players of the other team...he's signing the bat he used
		on Tzskova.  That's a fans' wrestler right there!!!

		Ladies and gentlemen, when we return, Sidi al Nassir vs.
		Ernie Grendel, next!!!
