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...) dMMMMMP dMP dMP dMP .aMMMb dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP"VMP dMMMP dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP.dMP.dMP dMP.aMP dMMMMMP VMMMPVMMP" VMMMP" dMP .aMMMb dMMMMb dMMMMb .dMMMb .aMMMb dMMMMMP dMP dMP"dMP dMP.dMP dMP VMP dMP" VP dMP"dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP dMMMMK" dMP dMP VMMMb dMP dMP dMMMP dMP dMP.aMP dMP"AMF dMP.aMP dP .dMP dMP.aMP dMP dMMMMMP VMMMP" dMP dMP dMMMMP" VMMMP" VMMMP" dMP dMMMMMMP dMP dMP dMMMMMP dMMMMb dMP dMMMMb .aMMMMP dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP.dMP amr dMP dMP dMP" dMP dMMMMMP dMMMP dMMMMK" dMP dMP dMP dMP MMP" dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP"AMF dMP dMP dMP dMP.dMP dMP dMP dMP dMMMMMP dMP dMP dMP dMP dMP VMMMP" (The image then shows flames in the background, and it shatters as Bill Curtis slides through the graphic and almost into your living room.

TONY STRANGEFans, 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!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Commercials, commercials, and more commercials...hey, wanna join more e-feds? Here's two really cool ones, Great Lakes Wrestling (e-mail GLWfedhead@yahoo.com) and Premier Wrestling (e-mail eroy@neumedia.net). E-mail them for more info. They're fun feds. =) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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!!!
