(The arena explodes like a fourth of July display as fireworks threaten the roof, the walls, and the very crowds roaring on their feet as the camera shoots overhead like a swooping hawk. Signs raise, the volume level rises, and the Titantron blasts into brilliant color as the EWCL logo spins out of control upon the screen. EWCL Venom is on the air!)
John Pilchard: Hello everybody and welcome to another explosive episode of EWCL Venom! I'm John Pilchard and with me as always, like a commentary security blanket, is Neil Down.
Neil Down: Aw. do you mean that John? You say the sweetest things. Remind me to send you an even bigger package of nothing for Christmas this year.
JP: We've got a huge show for you tonight folks! The Commissioner will be matching up with Sparhawk and Freak Cerberus in a triple-threat later on, and you can't help but wonder what ol' slippery fingers is gonna pull to get around that one!
ND: Ol' slippery fingers? Man, where do you come up with this stuff? Commentary elementary?
JP: Also tonight, Dan Prohibition will take on the newcomer Jawz. and I've got to ask if the Commissioner isn't going to get involved there as well! Plus, the tag team Champions Punisher and Morning Star will be facing. well, someone!
ND: You get better and better every week. It's like watching a fine wine mature.
JP: Shut up Neil! I can only relay to the fans what I have here on this sheet. You know, you could be a little more helpful..
ND: I know, but watching you work is like watching a fish out of water. mesmerising.
JP: You..
('Damned if I Do' by Life of Agony blasts suddenly from the arena speakers and the fans go wild, on their feet for the beloved President.)
JP: Looks like we're about to be joined by the President himself!
(Cazzo steps slowly through the curtain with a hard look on his face, reminiscent of chiselled granite. Clad in his famous 'Dropkick King' shirt, he is hardly the model businessman, despite the power he wields. Rather, he looks more like one of the boys, and the fans appreciate him all the more for it. He is a man who has sacrificed for his business, for his company. He 's done the miles, and taken the bumps, and his corporate success speaks for itself.)
(Cazzo rolls into the ring and calls for a microphone. The crowds quieten down as the President taps the instrument. 'Alright, I don't intend on being out here long, but there's a matter I have to deal with and I'm going to deal with it tonight. Two weeks ago.' Cazzo is cut off by a tremendous ovation from the fans in memory of one of the most momentous nights in Venom history. A night that saw Achilles thrown twenty feet from a cage to the concrete floor between the stands by The Rage. Cazzo motions the fans to silence, 'As I was saying. two weeks ago a wrestler for this comp..')
(The lights in the packed arena flicker and die. The fans go ballistic, lifting the roof as several hundred feet above, the roof of the auditorium lights up, dark blue flash-globes swooping slowly like lazy crows. The Titantron gradually brightens into life, displaying disjointed images like a slideshow of memories... sepia remembrances and flickering triumphs to the opening riff of Kid Rock's 'American Bad Ass'. The pyro explodes into flame, cascading blasts rolling back and forth across the ramp. From the darkness of the back steps The Rage, black 'Whole G*ddamn Show' t-shirt stretched over his rippling muscles and beige cargos hanging loosely over his black boots. To the side of the ramp two enormous explosions threaten the very roof of the auditorium. But The Rage has not waited, and is already half way to the ring as the blasts go off. Burning bright and strong for several moments, they eventually fade, until finally five words flash blindingly in white across the Jumbo Screen, leaving the familiar imprint of lightning upon the vision of the fans... 'The Revelation is at Hand'. The fans roar as The Rage rolls into the ring and to his feet as Cazzo stares in livid anger. The Rage stalks past him, smirking at him as he passes, and places one foot onto the bottom rope to the side, leaning out over the top and raising his arms to the side. The fans chant 'Rage, Rage, Rage, Rage!!!' as he glares out at them, before yanking a mic from his back pocket and walking up to within an inch of Cazzo's face. 'Cut the crap Cazzo. Am I in or out?')
(Cazzo glares right back at The Rage, then splutters, 'Who do you thi..' The Rage cuts him off with a bark, 'If the next words that come out of your mouth aren't a 'yes' or a 'no'..' He leans in towards the President, 'You ain't gonna be happy.')
(Cazzo growls, 'I'm not..' The Rage stalks away from Cazzo, pacing the ring. 'If you wanna see The Rage kick the crap out of the President, let me hear you.' The fans roar, more out of admiration for the bad ass than any disrespect for the President. The Rage nods, heading back towards Cazzo as he slips the mic into his back pocket. Cazzo shouts into the mic 'Alright! G*ddamnit Rage, alright! You're back in dammit! But if you screw up. just one more time, you're going to be out for good!' The Rage pulls the mic from his back pocket, smiling, 'Whatever. Now, how do I get my ass into this tournament you're holding?')
(The President shakes his head, 'You're not going to compete in the tournament Rick. I said you're back in, but there's no way I'm rewarding your insubordination with a Universal title shot.' The fans boo loudly, unhappy at the decision. The Rage stops pacing, facing away from the President. He brings the microphone to his lips, 'I'm sorry Cazzo, I don't think I heard you correctly. It sounded to me like you said I wasn't in the tournament. but that couldn't be right, could it?' Cazzo barks loudly, angry, 'You heard me alright Rage! You're NOT in the tournament! I don't know what you got away with in other Federations, but we don't put up with this kind of crap here in the EWCL!')
(The Rage turns slowly, and moves suddenly to stalk up to Cazzo, back in his face, 'Reconsider..' Cazzo growls back at him, 'No!' Rage nods slowly, a small smile playing across his face. He says softly, 'Then I guess it's back to plan A..' He drops the mic and begins to drag his t-shirt over his head. The fans cheer loudly, itching for a fight. Cazzo shouts quickly, 'Wait. wait a second! I said you're not in the tournament, but I didn't say I didn' t have a match for you! You are going to get a shot at gold tonight Rage. it just won't be Universal gold.)
(The Rage lets his shirt fall, staring hard at the President before snatching the microphone from his hand, 'What. Primetime? Internet? Who is it Cazzo. I'm fast running out of patience.' Cazzo holds out a hand, requesting the return of the microphone. The Rage slams it into his palm after a stare that lasts several moments. Cazzo lifts the microphone and says coldly, 'Tag Team gold.' The Rage raises an eyebrow, but Cazzo adds, 'That is. if. you can find a partner.' The Rage smirks, snatching the microphone out of the President's hand once more, 'A partner? I don't need a partner. But I'll take the shot..' He tosses the microphone at Cazzo hard, and the President fumbles slightly with it as he catches it. 'American Bad Ass' blasts from the speakers about the arena as The Rage rolls out of the ring between the top and second rope. Cazzo stares after the wild card as the fans go ballistic for both men: the President for booking the match, and The Rage for being exactly what he is.)
JP: My God, it looks like we have a Main Event! It'll be The Rage vs. Morning Star and Punisher for the tag team titles. One man against two, for the gold. I don't like The Rage's chances!
ND: I like his chances of finding a partner even less..
JP: No kidding Neil. That should be one Helluva barn-burner! But we have a whole show before that! Next up folks, James Demise vs. Sgt. Death! That's after the break!
(Cut to Commercial)
JP: Ok, lets go to our first match. James Demise going up against Sgt. Death. They fought eachother a couple of weeks ago, and on that night it was Sgt. Death who came out as the winner. Who is it gonna be tonight?
ND: Frankly, I wouldn't know John. I am already thinking of the other matches that will be scheduled later.
JP: Neil, show some more respect for our openers of the evening, will you.
ND: ..
(Then we see Freak Destroyer Cerberus on the titantron. He is backstage and it seems like he is looking for somebody. On his face appears a focussed look and with big steps he makes his way through the backstage area. Then all of a sudden he starts to run. In the end of the hallway we see Nature Boy - a sidekick of Sgt. Death who insulted Caprice - talking to some waitress. The waitress got a disgust look on her face, after some things that Nature Boy has been saying. Cerberus charges in and grabs Nature Boy with the head and executes the Hells Fury on him!!! NB goes down and Cerberus apologizes to the waitress and takes off).
ND: Saviour of helpless waitresses....Cerberus!!
JP: Neil!!! Be serious, obviously Cerberus is still upset with the fact that Nature Boy offended Caprice. You would be aswell if that would happen to you.
ND: Would I??
JP: Ahhh nevermind, Neil. Lets take a look at a short recap of this first match of the evening.
(We first see the entrances of both men. After alot of staring the match starts and both men give it their best to win this thing. The two battled it out for minutes with neither man staying down. The fight spilled outside of the ring where James Demise executed a scorpion deahtlock on the concrete floor. Demise dragged Sgt. Death into the ring, and went for the three count, but the Sarge kicked out in the last second. Demise unintimidated went back to the attack with kicks, chops and punches. Demise then went for a flying bodypress, but Sgt. Death turned it into a tombstone piledriver on the mat!!! Sgt. Death then executed his finisher Death Syte and got the 3 count and won the match).
(Commercials).
JP: Now on to our second match of the evening. Tony DeLucci is gonna have a tough match here against newcomer Danny Christ.
ND: Oh yess, I have been looking forward to this. I really wanted to see Danny Christ in action. He reminds me of someone. A influential man that had alot of impact in the world, but I can't seem to remember his name.
JP: I hope you don't mean Jesus Christ.
ND: Yeah, thats the one. Thats him. He reminds me of him.
JP: Don't even go there, Neil!! You have no idea what you are talking about. Don't go comparing the Son of God to some wrestler with an attitude!!
ND: Hey, you don't recognise talent when its sitting next to you.
JP: You are right about that, Neil!!
ND: ...
(Then Eat the rich starts to play and Tony DeLucci comes walking out. He is escorted by Angelina Ferrari and the two make it to ringside. DeLucci steps in, climbs the topturnbuckle to get some cheers, but the crowd is fairly quiet. DeLucci steps down again and waits for his opponent).
(Don't hate me by Nerf Herder starts to play and its Danny Christ who comes out from behind the curtains. The crowd stands up right away to see the new man. Its the first time they see him in action and they don't want to miss it. The 5'11" tall man from New Jersey slowly walks to the ring and when he reaches the ring he circles the ring one time before he enters it).
JP: Christ and DeLucci are facing eachother now and woow seems like a staring contest or what. Then the two finally lock up and it is DeLucci who gets in a headlock, but Christ counters with elbowing DeLucci in the head and the Italian lets go of the hold. DeLucci goes for a big punch, but now Christ blocks it and counters with poking his opponent in the eye.
ND: What a move!!!!
JP: Hello, you call poking someone in the eye a great move??
ND: But didn't you see how he executed that move??!! That was excellent!!
JP: Christ grabs DeLucci in a waistlock and follows that up with executing a german suplex into a pin. He goes for the pin, but DeLucci kicks out. DeLucci gets up and still doesn't look straight after that poke in the eye. Christ delivers a couple of chops and then he whips DeLucci into a corner and he charges in right after. Oooh big splash from Christ on DeLucci!!!
ND: Christ on top of DeLucci now and he starts to punch him in the head. 1......2......3......4......5......6.......7......8......9.....10!!! Yeah, ten punches in a row!!! Unbelievable. That even beats 10 german suplexes in a row!!!
JP: Neil!!! What have you been drinking during the break???
ND:...
JP: Christ whips DeLucci in the opposite corner now. He charges in right after again, but this time DeLucci moves out of the way in time and Christ flies shoulderfirst into the corner. DeLucci follows up with lifting Christ up and performing a backdrop suplex. DeLucci now picks up Christ by the head but oooh lowblow!!!
ND: Another excell...
JP: Don't even go there, Neil!!!
ND: Christ in the advantage again now. He lifts DeLucci up now and bodyslams him to the mat. Christ now starts climbing the topturnbuckle and he faces the crowd. Oooh moonsault on top of DeLucci!!! Christ really showing some moves here tonight. DeLucci on the mat and Christ hooks in an anklelock.
JP: DeLucci can't take it from the pain! And it even seems like he is gonna tap out. But oooh wait, Christ lets go of the anklelock even before DeLucci could tap out. What a sadistic thing to do!!! Why not just finish this match??? Christ now waits till DeLucci gets back to his feet. The italian is up but he is limping.
(Then all of a sudden we see The Mauler running down the aisle and he slides in the ring. He goes over to DeLucci and it looks like he wants to ramm his fist in DeLucci's face).
JP: What is this??
ND: Its Mauler!! He's back.
JP: Mauler wants to nail DeLucci, but just when he wants to Christ grabs his arm and blocks the shot. Mauler turns towards Christ and they look at eachother and then Christ pushes Mauler into the ropes. Mauler hangs on to the ropes, but then its Christ who charges in and he clotheslines Mauler over the toprope to the outside!!!!
ND: But look behind you Christ!!!!
(Behind Christ it is DeLucci who wants to sneak up on him, but Christ turns around in time and grabs DeLucci by the throat).
JP: He's choking him now!!! Somebody stop him!! Referee stop him!!!!
ND: Don't get too emotional here John. You see he already let go of DeLucci!! Christ whips DeLucci in the ropes and when he comes off Christ does a hurricanrana!!! Great!! Christ goes again for DeLucci and its...its The Sign Off!!! Thats his finisher, this thing is over!!!! Christ goes for the pin now. 1.........2..........3......the first win for Danny Christ and what a win it was!!!! He's still undefeated!!
JP: Man, get a grip Neil.
ND: I tell you right here, right now. This man is gonna go far, this man can even walk over water, and he is also gonna go far in the EWCL.
JP: Yeah, yeah, sure.
(Commercials).
Herbie: I got a letter here.
Ex-Terminator: A letter?? Hmm its probly one of those threatnotes that everyone has been getting. I better not tell Amy about it. Coz then she is gonna be upset all day.
Herbie: Noo, its not for Amy. It says your name on the letter.
Ex-Terminator: MY NAME??!!???
Herbie: Yes, you're name.
Ex-Terminator: GIVE THAT LETTER TO ME, RIGHT NOW!!!
(Herb hands over the letter to Ex-Terminator and he rips it open in a second. And he reads the note out loud).
Ex-Terminator: "BLOODY MAGGOTTT........ARE YOU GONNA SURVIVE.......SOON!!!!!"
(Ex-Terminator drops the note and grabs Herb by the throat).
Ex-Terminator: Who the fuck send this note??? Who was it???
Herbie: I....dunno man, I am just the messenger, I am just hired to deliver the letters, I have nothing to do with it. Believe me!!
(Ex-T lets go of Herbie and "The Mailman" quickly gets out of there, while we see Ex-Terminator who seems to be in deep thought).
(Commercials).
JP: Oh man did you see that? It are no longer only women who get threatnotes!!! I wonder what that is all about.
ND: Same here, as long as I don't get a note like that.
JP: Now back to the here and now. Our next match is the match between Prime Time Champion Dan Prohibition and Jawz. Jawz already got a title shot here in his second match, only coz of the help of his buddy Exile. Last week Jawz beat Jack Off Joe and in the eyes of Exile that was enough to earn a titleshot.
(Desentisized by Green Day starts to play and Jawz comes walking out. He's not alone, the commisioner Exile joins him to the ring. The two walk to the ring and Jawz enters the ring).
(Then One step closer starts to blare over the speakers and it is Dan Prohibition who comes out, he is escorted by Lydia. The two of them arrive at ringside and Dan tells Lydia to stand on the opposite side as Exile is. Dan then rolls himself in the ring).
(Exile then grabs a mic and starts to talk).
Exile: As this is a titlematch for the Prime Time Title I thought I make this a special match. I know its only the Prime Time Title and its not as important as this title around my waist. (he points at the Internet Title) But still you deserve a good stipulation. I first wanted to make it a touch all corners match, but then my buddy Jawz came to my office and had an idea of his own.... a ladder match....and so we have it. A ladder match!!! Thank you!!!
(Exile drops the mic and at that moment Sober by Tool starts to play. The crowd seems surprised as they don't remember that any wrestler on the roster uses this entrance music. There's a shadow on the ramp and seconds later it is clear to the crowd and to everyone at ringside who the figure is).
JP: IT'S..........ALEXANDER GLORY!!!!!!!
ND: HE'S BACK!!!!! The former Universal Champion is back!!!!
(In his new look Glory starts walking to the ring. After he reaches it he asks for a mic and says the following).
Glory: I want to be in this match!! Exile, book me in this match!!! Its time that Dan feels how its like to wrestle a real opponent!!!
Exile: Wait, wait, wait a minute here. Last thing I knew you aren't even on the roster. So there is no way I can book you in this match. So three words for you: "Not gonna happen".
(Glory walks closer over to Exile and is standing right in front of him now in a threatning way).
Glory: Are you sure about that???
Exile: Uhm, tell you what. Tonight you just sit back and relax the show and next week I book you in a match with Dan Prohibition!! How's that?? Thats the best thing I can do for you.
(Glory doesn't say a word and just drops the mic and walks over to Jay Blue and pushes him off his seat. He then sits down and takes a sip out of Jay's drink. Exile tells the two wrestlers that the match is on and makes his way out of ringside).
JP: Wow, Glory is back and he will fight Dan Prohibition next week!!!!! That sounds promising!!!
ND: It does. And Glory is still sitting here at ringside, so you better not say anything bad about him.
JP: Well you should listen to your own advice Neil, coz you are mostly the one who gets himself in trouble. Now as for this match. Dan vs. Jawz in a ladder match. The ladder stands here on the outside and in the ring we see how the Prime Time Title is hanging about the middle.
Ding ding ding
ND: The match is on and its Jawz who wants to slide out of the ring right away to get to the ladder. But Dan grabs his leg at the last moment and drags him back to the middle of the ring. Jawz quickly to his feet and the two tie up. Its Jawz who knees Dan in the gut and whips him in the ropes. He comes off the ropes and gets hit with a clothesline by Jawz. Jawz bounces in the ropes and comes off with an elbow drop on Dan.
JP: Jawz picks up Dan by the head and uppercuts him. He follows that up with a kick to the midsection and wanting to hook in a piledriver. But then blocks the piledriver and instead he backdrops Jawz to the mat. Dan is quickly up again and he waits till Jawz is back up and then superkicks him.
ND: Dan picks up Jawz and sets him up for a piledriver of his own and actually executes it. Dan slowly starts walking towards the ropes now to climb out. But just at that moment Jawz is back up and he charges into Dan and clotheslines him over the toprope to the outside. OOHHH!!! Jawz is still in the ring and he waits till Dan gets back to his feet. Jawz then bounces in the ropes, charges in and oooh baseball slide to the outside and he nails Dan and he goes down.
JP: Both men are on the outside now and it is Jawz who is the first to reach the ladder. He grabs the ladder and he throws it into the ring. He wants to climb in the ring aswell again, but its Dan who grabs him just before he can get in. Dan ramms his fist in Jawz's face and then whips him into the ringsteps and Jawz flies in shoulderfirst.
ND: Dan walks over to pick Jawz up by the head, but he gets lowblowed. Jawz then picks up the ringsteps and smacks them into Dan and Dan goes down to the concrete. Jawz drops the ringsteps on top of Dan and rolls himself back in the ring. Jawz goes over to the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring. Jawz then looks up above the ring, sees the Prime Time Title and starts to laugh. He then starts to climb the ladder.
JP: Jawz is up a few steps now, and Dan is still on the outside. Is this already it or what??? Jawz gets higher and higher, step by step. He can almost reach the title now. But oooh wait Dan is back up, but still on the outside. But what is he doing?? He picks up the steel ringsteps and he.....he throws them over the ropes into the ladder!!!!!!!!! OOOOH MMMYYYY GODDD!!! The ringsteps fly into the ladder and coz of the collission the ladder starts to shake and it falls to the side!!!!
ND: The ladder falls to the side and Jawz falls of it and falls to the outside straight to the concrete floor!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! On the other side we see that Dan slided back in the ring and he takes a look at Jawz. Dan goes for the ladder and sets it up, but he doesn't set it up in the middle, he is setting it up in the corner. Dan starts climbing the ladder all the way to the top. He is on top now and he turns to the outside and looks at Jawz.
JP: Dan doesn't hesitate and ooooooh yeahhhh Flying Guillotine to the outside!!!!! What a move!!!! Jawz is knocked out now, but that also took alot out of Dan. After about 15 seconds it is Dan who is the first to get up and he slides himself back into the ring. He goes for the ladder and this time he sets it up in the middle of the ring. The ladder is set up and he starts climbing it now. Step by step.
ND: But Jawz is moving, he slowly is getting back to his knees. He sees that Dan is halfway the ladder now and Jawz uses all of his strength to roll himself back in the ring. He's back in the ring now and he bounces himself in the ropes and comes off and wowwwwww just spears the ladder!!!!!!!!!!! Jawz speared the ladder and the ladder just folded itself up and falls backwards!!!! With the result that both the ladder and Dan fly into the ropes!!!!!!!
JP: OOooh thats gotta hurt. Dan landed straight into the ropes with the ladder on top of him!!!! Jawz takes his time as he is also still recovering. Eventually he gets a hold of the folded ladder and throws it to the other side of the ring. Jawz then grabs Dan by the head and drags him off the ropes to the mat. Jawz picks Dan up once again and he wants to set Dan up for his finiser the TANTRUM!!! He hooks it in, but oooh Dan blocks it and gets out of the hold.
ND: But instead Jawz hooks in a fallaway slam and executes that!! Jawz now goes over to the ladder and once again he sets it up in the middle of the ring. He starts climbing the ladder now. After he is up a couple of steps, Dan now also starts climbing the ladder on the other side. Jawz is almost at the top now and Dan follows right after. Oooh both men are on top now and start handing out punches at eachother now.
JP: Jawz hits Dan with a big right one, but Dan comes back with a big right hand of his own. Back and forth they continue and the ladder starts to shake, it starts to shake alot. The ladder is off balance now, I tell you, the ladder is gonna fall to the side. Its gonna fall!!!! Both Jawz and Dan are aware now that the ladder is about to fall down. Just at the moment that the ladder is falling they both reach for the title that is hanging above them!!! The ladder is starting to fall to the side and in his last effort Dan jumps off and goes for the title and YEAH HE GRABBED IT!!! Dan grabbed the title!!!!
ND: The ladder, Jawz and Dan all fall to the mat now!!! But Dan is still holding on to the Prime Time Title!!!! He won this ladder match and is still the Prime Time Champion!!!! What a match did we just see!!! Jawz really looks disappointed, while Dan is back on his knees and he raises the title in the air.
JP: Meanwhile Alexander Glory, who still was sitting at ringside, slided in the ring and he grabbed the ladder and folded it up. He goes over to Dan. Dan looks up, but right and that moment bammm, Glory ramms the ladder into Dan's head!!! He's busted open!!!! Glory then drops the ladder and rolls out of the ring and leaves ringside.
(Commercials).
JP: We're back and its time for this threeway match. Exile vs. Sparhawk vs. Freak Destroyer Cerberus. Last week we saw how Exile more or less helped Sparhawk in his match against Punisher and Morning Star. Now we are gonna see if they are gonna work together to beat up Cerberus.
ND: You never know whats gonna happen, John.
JP: Well it surprise me already that Exile is in a normal match. Ever since he is the commisioner he has fought an injured Vego, his mate Roadblock, and Freeze who was temporarily kidnapped by Roadblock and Jawz. Now its a real match, I wonder whats that gonna be like.
(Carousel by Linkin Park starts to play and Sparhawk comes out. The fans start to cheer him on big time as he walks down the aisle to the ring and while he enters the ring).
(Then Freak on a leash begins to play and its time for Freak Cerberus to come out. The fans also give him a decent pop while he comes out. He doesn't waste time to and runs to the ring and slides in).
(Extreme days by DC Talk starts to play and its Internet Champion and Commisioner Exile who is coming out. Again he gets booed by the fans. He doesn't care and with a slight grin on his face he walks to the ring. When he arrives at ringside he asks for a mic and starts to talk).
Exile: Like mostly I have a special announcement to make. That special announcement is that I, the Internet Champion and Commisioner of the EWCL am not gonna fight in this match. (the crowd starts to boooo) I don't think that it fits in my schedule as the Internet Champion to fight these two individuals. I got better things to do, people to see, place to go, bla bla bla. (the crowd starts to booo even more).
JP: Doesn't this guy ever stop using his power in his own advantage.
Exile: On another note I do have a special stipulation for this match. Its a stipulation you never seen before here in the EWCL. The stipulation is as follows: The first one to get pinned or tap out WINS!!! So opposite rules so to speak!!! Thank you and enjoy the match, hahaha!!!
JP: What the hell???? What is that??? He can't do that. The one who gets pinned wins, that just can't be true!!! First he backs out of this match and then he makes this insane stipulation.
(Cerberus and Sparhawk look a bit confused and turn towards the ref, who can only move up his shoulders. It seems like Exile gets his way in this match.).
JP: Unbelievable. I wonder how Cerberus and Sparhawk are gonna react to this. Are they just gonna fight eachother like they would in every other match or are they gonna change their strategy?
ND: Beats me, John.
Ding ding ding
JP: The match has started and both men start to circle eachother for about 5 seconds. Then they lock up and this match has really started now. The two start to trade fists back and forth. Sparhawk gets the better of the exhange as he tries to whip Cerberus into the ropes.Cerberus counters by reversing the whip, getting in an arm-twist and levelling Sparhawk with a clothesline. Cerberus then goes to work with forearms to the back and the head of Sparhawk.
ND: He has Sparhawk near the ropes and takes advantage of putting his foot on the throat of Sparhawk, choking him. He then picks Sparhawk up and delivers a crushing bodyslam. Cerberus then goes back to work on Sparhawk with kicks to the chest area. Sparhawk manages to get to his feet and throws a hard chop to the chest. Cerberus comes back with a forearm, but Sparhawk comes back with a chop.
JP: Sparhawk goes for a kick, but Cerberus grabs a hold of the leg. Sparhawk looks over his options and goes for an enziguiri and nails Cerberus in the head. Sparhawk now picks Cerberus up and gives him a snap suplex. He then hooks him in a suplex position again, cradles the leg and executes a fishermanbuster suplex on Cerberus. Sparhawk goes to the toprope now and he waits till Cerberus gets back up and then he jumps off for a missile dropkick.
ND: Yeah missile dropkick by Sparhawk!!! Sparhawk is feeling good as he wants to hook in his sharpshooter submission. But before Sparhawk can hook in the sharpshooter, Cerberus reaches for the ropes. Sparhawk then decides to grab Cerberus by the head, but Cerberus counters with hitting Sparhawk in the midsection. Cerberus quickly gets to his feet and he hooks in a piledriver.
JP: Cerberus goes for the pin now. 1...........2.......but ooh Cerberus stops the count himself. He probly realised that the person who gets pinned wins. Man thats so freaky. Its Cerberus who grabs Sparhawk by the hair and he sends him into the ropes. Cerberus goes for a shouldertackle, but Sparhawk counters with a neckbreaker that takes Cerberus down to the mat. Now its Sparhawk who goes for the pin. 1........2.......but a kickout by Cerberus.
ND: Cerberus gets back up and it looks like he's mad at himself. Probly mad coz he kicked out of that pin. Ofcourse he kicked out of that pin, you do that automatically. But not in this match. On the outside we see Exile laughing. Man he is having the day of his life, so it seems. Sparhawk and Cerberus see how Exile is enjoying himself and the two quickly have a word with eachother.
JP: Then they tie up again. Cerberus whips Sparhawk in the ropes and when he comes back he takes him to the mat with a headscissor takedown. Cerberus follows that up with a couple of stomps to the midsection and head. Cerberus grabs Sparhawk's head and ramms it into the mat. Right after that he picks him up and sends him in the ropes once more. Cerberus wants to go for a backdrop, but Sparhawk comes off the ropes, grabs Cerberus by the head and delivers a bulldog.
ND: Sparhawk now grabs Cerberus and hooks in a camel clutch submission. He got it hooked on pretty good. Man, if Cerberus would tap out now he would win this match. Weird all. But he's not tapping out. It looks like these two agreed to just fight this fight in a proper way, not even thinking of the stipulation Exile made for them. Cerberus really in pain here, he is trying to reach the ropes, but he's too far away. Now he is trying to get up. Yeah he is able to get up. First on one foot and oooh Sparhawk falls backwards.
JP: Cerberus bounces in the ropes and comes off and ooh frankensteiner by the Freak. Cerberus goes for the cover. 1.......2.........but a kickout by Sparhawk. Yeah I think you were right there Neil. They are just gonna fight like any other fight, not thinking of the rules changed. Cerberus lifts Sparhawk up now and does a gorilla press. After the press he lifts Sparhawk up and ooooh yeah executes a powerbomb. What a big powerbomb!!! Again he goes for the pin. 1............2..............oooh but Sparhawk kicked out in the last moment.
ND: Cerberus doesn't let go and he picks Sparhawk up again and sends him in the corner. He charges in, but Sparhawk moves out of the way at the last moment. Cerberus flies headfirst into the corner now. Sparhawk comes up from behind Cerberus now and he grabs him and german suplexes him to the mat. Sparhawk also takes some time to recover after that powerbomb from earlier on. After a few seconds he picks Cerberus up and whips him in the ropes, Cerberus comes off the ropes and oooh double clothesline. They clotheslined eachother.
JP: The ref starts to count, but on the count of 6 its both Sparhawk and Cerberus who are back up. Cerberus whips Sparhawk in the ropes, he comes off and Cerberus goes for a clothesline. But oooh Sparhawk ducks it and kicks Cerberus in the stomache and follows that up with hooking in his Knights Finish!!! YESSS he executes the powerbomb and it goes into a reverse ankle lock!!!! Cerberus in severe pain and he taps out!!! Cerberus tapped out!!! So under normal rules Sparhawk would have won this match. But coz of the stipulation made by Exile, the ref now walks over to Cerberus and raises his hands in the air. Cerberus looks over to Sparhawk and kind of apologizes to him.
(Then Damned if I do by Life Of Agony starts to play and Prez Cazzo comes walking out. The fans recognise him and his music and start to cheer him on. Prez Cazzo shakes the hands of some fans on his way to the ring. He got a big smile on his face and once he reached the ring he goes over to Jay Blue, grabs the Internet Title that Exile dropped there and gets a mic).
Prez Cazzo: Exile, you just made my day. (Exile frowns). You wanna know why? Well I am gonna tell you anyway. You might have forgotten, but you were suppose to fight in this match, and you were suppose to defend your internet title in this match. Then you came out here and said that you weren't gonna fight in this match. Ok, I can live with that, thats your choice. But there's one thing that didn't change. The fact that this was a match for the Internet Title. The fact that you dropped out of this match never changed that!!! So therefore, Freak Cerberus, hereby I declare you the new Internet Champion of the EWCL.
ND: WHAT!!!! Thats unbelievable!!!!
JP: Haha, Exile screwed himself this time, with all his power games!!!!
(Prez Cazzo handed the internet title over to Cerberus who really is surprised. He got pinned, but coz of the stipulation he won the match and now he also won the Internet Title. We also see that Exile is pretty pissed). Exile: I demand a rematch!!! I want it, and want it right now!!!! Sparhawk, I helped you last week, now the two of you do me a favour here.
(Exile slides in the ring and stands in front of Cerberus and Sparhawk now).
Exile: Guys, guys, guys, do me a favour here. I had my little fun with the stipulation, you had a nice fight, Cazzo had his fun. Now lets us be fair and give me a second chance here. Or do you want me to book you in a handicap match next week huh!!
(Sparhawk looks at Exile. Then he looks at Cerberus. And bammmm Sparhawk and Cerberus attack Exile and double team him with a double clothesline. And Exile goes down to the mat. Sparhawk and Cerberus now lift Exile up and double suplex him now. After they continue to kick him in the head).
ND: Ooh noo, he doesn't deserve that.
JP: Doesn't he??
(Then Papercut by Linkin Park starts to play and its "The Loose Cannon" Shane Johnson who comes running down the aisle towards the ring. He slides in the ring, climbs the topturnbuckle right away. And dives off and lands on both Sparhawk and Cerberus. Then right after a total brawl begins between all four of them!!!).
JP: Oooh man!!!! Shane Johnson came back to help his Royal Family member Exile!!! What a sensation here. Exile lost his title to Cerberus and even got double teamed right after. What does this mean for next week?
ND: I don't know, John.
(Commercials)
JP: What a match was that, and what an outcome. Unreal. Now thats exactly what EWCL is about!!!
ND: Yeah tell 'em John.
JP: Agh shut up, Neil.
ND: ...
JP: Now on for the main event of the evening. Before this evening we only knew that Punisher and Morning Star were in it. Now after the opening of the show we saw that The Rage is back in the picture. And however he is not allowed to compete in the tournament for the Universal Title at the next PPV. He does get a chance now to win the tagtitles. Only problem is that he doesn't have a tagpartner.
ND: Well that never stopped Sparhawk last week to beat Punisher and Morning Star.
JP: Yeah but he got help from both Exile and Cazzo.
(Then Invasion starts to play and Punisher and Morning Star come walking out. The crowd starts to boo as they really can't stand the Legion. Morning Star already almost made it to ringside, while Punisher is still arguing with some guy who had a "Legion sucks" sign. Then out of nowhere it is Sparhawk who comes running out and he attacks Punisher from behind with his dented shield. OOoh Punisher goes down. But before Sparhawk can do anymore damage it are Exile and Shane Johnson who comes running out for Sparhawk. Right after it is also Cerberus who is coming out. And the four we have just seen before in the ring before the commercials are out again. This time they fight there way out of ringside and disappear behind the curtains).
JP: Ok, that was intresting.
(Morning Star walked back to Punisher and helped him up again and helps him to the ring. But before they can reach the ring American Badass starts to play. There are big explosions everywhere and the titantron says THE RAGE!!! The Rage appears on the ramp and starts making his way down to the ring. The fans are going insane now for their new hero).
JP: Oh man can you hear this capacity crowd go?
ND: What??
JP: The Rage is out and the crowd goes wild. He runs towards Punisher and Morning Star, who still aren't in the ring yet. The Rage runs towards them and takes MS down with a spear and lands on top off him. Rage starts to hammer away at MS, fist after fist. But Punisher is also still around and he grabs The Rage by the head and elbows it. Punisher now picks The Rage by the head and he lifts him up and bodyslamms him to the concrete floor.
ND: MS is also back in the game now and he and Punisher pick The Rage up together and they whip him into the guardrail. They both charge in at the same time, and oooh I don't know how he did it, but The Rage double backdropped both Punisher and MS over the guardrail into the crowd. Have you ever seen something like that!!! The Rage takes some time to recover and then makes his way to the ring.
JP: In the meantime Punisher and MS got back up and they are climbing back over the guardrail towards ringside. Man, this match hasn't even officially started yet and this all has already happend. Punisher and MS enter ringside and they enter the ring. They see how The Rage is already waiting in the ring for them. Punisher and MS discuss a little and they decide that MS is gonna start off.
ND: So its Rage and MS to begin with. Rage and MS circle eachother for a while. When Rage ends up in the corner of the Legion he has to be careful, coz Punisher tried to grab him from behind. Now Rage and MS finally lock up. The lock up doesn't last long though. As MS pushes The Rage backwards and follows that up with a big steinerline clothesline. MS takes the advantage now with a quick kick to the gut and a thunderous chop that knocks the breath out of The Rage.
JP: The Rage staggers into a corner with his head resting on the topturnbuckle. MS quickly tags in Punisher and Punisher rushes in to the corner and begins a series of kicks to the lower back of The Rage. He follows up the kicks with seven shoulderblocks into the back. Punisher then whips The Rage into the opposite corner. The Rage's back struck hard into the corner. Punisher pulls The Rage up, but is raked in the eyes. The Rage catches Punisher with a short right into the head.
ND: He then tries to whip Punisher into the ropes, but Punisher reverses it and sends The Rage in the ropes. The Rage comes off the ropes and ducks the forearm, he bounces in the ropes again and comes off and grabs the Punisher and delivers a sidewalk slam. The Rage continues right away and picks Punisher up by the arm and kicks him in the midsection. Right after he follows that up with lifting Punisher up for a t-bone suplex and executing it.
JP: The Rage goes for the pin now. 1........2......but a kickout by Punisher. The Rage gets back up and grabs Punisher, but MS gets in the ring and grabs The Rage from behind and executes a reverse ddt!!! Man, thats unfair, get that man out of the ring, he's not the legal man!!! Punisher high fives with MS and they both pick The Rage up and send him in the ropes and double backdrop him to the mat.
ND: MS goes back to his corner and Punisher picks The Rage up and sends him in the ropes and cathes him with a big boot when he comes off the ropes. Punisher goes for the pin. 1...........2...........but a late kickout by the Rage. Punisher grabs the Rage by the throat and even uses the ropes to choke him. After a couple of seconds the ref makes him stop the chokehold. Punisher looks at the Rage and then decides to tag in MS.
JP: MS comes back in and runs towards the Rage, who got back up, and does a spinning heelkick. MS also tries to go for the pin now, but he also only gets a two count. MS gets on the topturnbuckle now and he dives off for a double axehandle. But oooh The Rage got up and he nails MS in the stomach with a big punch. The Rage lets himself bounce in the ropes and comes off and oooh reverse neckbreaker!!!
ND: He sure got himself out of difficult situation there. The Rage picks up MS and wants to whip him in the ropes, but MS reverses the whip and The Rage flies in the ropes himself. He flies in the ropes near Punisher and Punisher holds the toprope down just before the Rage bounces in them, with the result that The Rage flies to the outside!!! Punisher jumps off the apron and grabs The Rage by the head and ramms it into the steel ringpost.
JP: Now also MS stepped out of the ring and he got a hold of a steelchair. There's not much the referee can do here, as it is a no-dq match. Punisher grabbed The Rage from behind and now MS comes in and whack!!! He nails the steelchair in The Rage's head. WHACK, thats the sound of another blow to the head!!!! Somebody stop that man!!!! MS now drops the chair to the ground and climbs back on the apron and steps back into the ring.
ND: Punisher rolls The Rage back into the ring. MS and The Rage are back in the ring and MS circles a bit around The Rage, who is knocked out on the mat. MS then decides to go for the pin. 1..........2........but a foot on the ropes, that breaks the count. MS picks The Rage up and sends him into the ropes, The Rage hangs on to the ropes and rolls himself to his own corner. He motions to make a tag. But hey he should no that there's noone in his corner.
JP: He should know, as he said himself he didn't need a tagpartner. MS is laughing as he tags in Punisher. Punisher comes in and he grabs The Rage and body slamms him back to the mat. Punisher calls out to MS who comes back in. MS grabs The Rage from behind and Punisher starts handing out lefts and rights on the face of The Rage.
ND Man, he thinks he's Rocky.
JP: This is really unbelievable, somebody make this stop. MS lets go off The Rage and he falls facefirst to the mat. MS goes back to his corner and Punisher signals the Gavel. He lifts The Rage up and sets him up for the Gavel.
(But then all of a sudden One step closer starts to play and its the Hardcore Saint Dan Prohibition who comes running out. He got his stopsign in his hands and he slides in the ring and bammm he nails Punisher with it before he can execute the Gavel. Then Dan moves over to MS and also nails him with his stopsign. Dan then goes over to The Rage and drags him to his own corner. Dan then climbs through the ropes on the apron and reaches over his hand to The Rage).
JP: Oh my GODDD!!! Who would have thought this would happen!!!! The Rage has to use all of his last energy to lift up his hand in the air. He finally lifts it up and yeahhh he makes the tag and Dan Prohibition gets in!!! Dan picks up Punisher and ddt's him to the mat. He then runs over to MS who got back on the apron and he clotheslines MS to the outside. Dan turns back towards the Punisher, but Punisher got back up already and he kicks Dan in the gut.
ND: Punisher follows that up with a big boot and Dan goes down. Punisher now picks up Dan and again he signals for the Gavel!!! He wants to execute it, but oooh Dan blocks it!! He lifts Punisher up and atomic drops him and Punisher lands facefirst into the turnbuckle. Dan grabs Punisher and he hooks in the Straight Edge Spike. And...
JP: Yeahhhhh he executed the Straight Edge Spike!!!! The Punisher is out!!! Dan wants to go for the cover, but wait, what is he doing, he goes over to his corner and he tags in The Rage. The Rage is back to his senses again, although he is busted wide open after those chairchots and all the other shots he had to take. The Rage comes back in, he picks The Punisher up and ooooooh yeah The Revelation!!!!! He did it!! I tell you, he did it!!! The Rage now goes for the cover. 1...........2...............3...............yeahhhhh we have new tagteam champions here!!! The Rage and Dan Prohibition are the new champions!!!!!
ND: Who would of thought this would happen. What an end.
JP: This is Venom at it best, I tell you. What a night!!!! New Internet Champion, New Tagteam champions, the return of Alexander Glory, the return of Shane Johnson, another threatnote.
