VENOM - 13/01/2002

(The gold and white EWCL logo flashes across the screen, rolling from left to right. A beat starts… slow at first, but growing in intensity. Suddenly a speck appears on the screen, screaming forwards, getting larger and larger until it becomes legible… the EWCL logo. The whining screech increases in intensity until it appears to SMASH through the viewer's television screen. Shattering glass provides the background sound as the EWCL theme kicks into gear. A montage of the EWCL superstars overlayed in blue, red, green and gold flashes across the screen. Prez Saphio, Universal Champion Sean Corvik, Exile, Joe Johnson, Blade and more. Scenes of violence, carnage and action as only the EWCL can provide barrages the viewers until finally the Venom logo spins in to view, only to be crushed by the EWCL trademark).

John Pilchard: Welcome, welcome, welcome to VENOM!!!

Neil Down: A very good evening people. As you can see Venom has a new look, Prez Saphio made it possible.

JP: Yeah, but did you hear how much that new Venom Logo cost? Saphio hired one of the most expensive artists to create it, he never even thought of the financial trouble that the EWCL is in.

ND: Financial trouble? I thought that was all solved? I haven't heard anything about that ever since Saphio took over from Cazzo.

JP: When you don't talk about it, doesn't mean that its not there anymore!! And Saphio thinks that as financial advisor Bo Lucas has left, that all the financial problems are gone aswell. Some petty thoughts.

ND: Hey, the guy is a genius!

JP: Don't start with that shit again.

ND: Now now, just last week we saw how much of a genius he is. He talked his way into an Universal Title shot tonight against Sean Corvik.

JP: Yes, but Saphio got no chance at all.

ND: You don't know what he got up his sleeve this time.

JP: I have faith in Corvik, Neil. And talking about Sean Corvik I hear we are gonna see something that took place minutes ago outside of the building.

(The titantron comes on and we see Sean Corvik, strolling down the street with his Universal Title angling lifelessly over his shoulder. He walks to the arena, only to see former President Cazzo sitting on the sidewalk and looking up at it).

Corvik: Hey, what's the deal, Eric?

Cazzo: I've lost it all. It's just now sunken in. I lost Pamela, I lost my EWCL, and I managed to lose every shred of dignity I gained in the past five years.

Corvik: Take it easy, man. This is only happening until we break this barricade. Saphio won't be in power much longer.

Cazzo: You don't understand. My best friend threw me to the curb and took everything I have worked for in my entire life. And he's destroying everything I build up. He knew about the financial trouble the EWCL is in and then I hear he signs Scandalous and Kaanen Thorne for about 15 millions each and he hires this big artist to make a new Venom Logo. And there is nothing I can do about it. All I can do is sit here and stare in front of me.

Corvik: Well how about this. That's One-Eyed Bill's Tavern there, what say we get a few drinks?

Cazzo: Alright I guess, sounds good...I might put some of my thoughts aside then for a minute.

(Scene fades out).

ND: Yup, I see Corvik is getting ready for his match.

JP: Hey, he's just trying to stand by Cazzo in his pain.

ND: Yeah yeah. Lets get on with the show. Besides our main event match we have a hardcore match between Dan Prohibition and Iman Sain, we have a tagmatch for the number one contender spot between Joe Johnson and Blade against The Zer0 and Drake Laps. Next to that we are gonna see a fourway match for the Prime Time Title. The Punisher is putting his title on the line against Mystic, Steel Brasco and Fazzer.

JP: And to start off we have a threeway match between 3 newcomers.


Doc Destruction vs. Scandalous vs. "Cowboy from Hell" Kaanen Thorne

ND: Just look at the talent that Prez Saphio is taking in, thats something I haven't seen Cazzo do.

JP: Yeah well did you hear what Saphio offered them? Any wrestler would come to the EWCL if they would get that much money. If Saphio continues like this then there won't be much left of the EWCL in a little while.

ND: Agh, stop complaining will you. Fact is that we are gonna see some huge talents who can make it all the way to the top here in the EWCL. We have Doc Destruction, Scandalous and "Cowboy from Hell" Kaanen Thorne.

JP: And especially Scandalous and Thorne were at eachothers throat all week.

ND: Yeah well what do you expect. Scandalous had something with Kaanen's mother.

(At that moment Pilchard slaps Neil Down to the back of the head).

JP: You moron, Scandalous was only trying to insult Kaanen, and besides that Kaanen's mother is no longer among us.

ND: ...

(Down with the sickness by Disturbed starts to play and Doc Destruction appears from behind the curtains. The crowd starts to boo him right away. The 28 year old from Chicago makes his way down the aisle and he slides in the ring and climbs on the bottom rope and raises his arms in the air.).

(Then Scandalous - St. Lunatics starts to play and moments after Scandalous comes out from behind the curtains. Scandalous is not alone as he got a girl on each arm who escorts him to the ring. Scandalous got a confident look on his face and he nodds to the girls in the audience. They reach ringside and Scandalous says goodbye to his escorts and he uses the ringsteps to enter the ring).

(Finally Cowboys from Hell by Pantera starts to play and "The Cowboy from Hell" Kaanen Thorne comes out. We hear mixed reactions in the crowd when he comes out. Kaanen walks to the ring and slides in and the ref calls all three men to him and he starts to explain the rules).

JP: Ok, I guess we can begin soon.

(But at that moment "American Made" starts to play and the entire crowd knows what that means and they start to go wild already. A few seconds later The Punisher appears on the top of the ramp. The Prime Time Champion and leader of the Ministry of Total Justic has a microphone in his right hand and after the crowd has calmed down he starts to talk).

The Punisher: Doc Destruction, Scandalous and Kaanen Thorne......have you decided yet?

ND: What does he mean?

Punisher: In these difficult days in the EWCL everyone has to choose a side. You can either pick the wrong side or the good side. The wrong side would be if you join Saphio, the man who cheated himself into the presidentship. The man who misuses his power to get what he wants. The good side is if you join former Prez Cazzo. He is the man who has been leading the EWCL for the longest time. He's a generous and well respected wrestler and person. Now guys, I am giving you an ultimatum. You either pick sides and pick the right side, or you will have to deal with me!!! IS THAT CLEAR!!

(The crowd starts to go wild again, while American Made starts to play again and The Punisher dissappears again).

ND: What an idiot.

JP: He's just trying to get support and he's right. Everyone has to take a side in this civil war.

(The three men in the ring look at eachother for a second, but then the bell rings and the match begins).

Ding ding ding

JP: Doc Destruction goes for Kaanen Thorne right away and he starts to throw some punches at him. Thorne is trying to block them, but Doc is getting some good right ones in there. Scandalous is still in his corner, still preparing himself for the match. He's double checking his boots and all. While Doc Destruction now grabs Kaanen's arm and he irish whips him into the ropes. Kaanen comes off the ropes and he ducks under Doc's arm and bounces in the ropes again. He comes off again and with a flying forearm he takes Doc to the mat!!

ND: Kaanen follows that up with kicking Doc to the head several times. But thats the moment that Scandalous mixes himself into the battle. Scandalous climbs the topturnbuckle and he looks down at Kaanen who is still stomping at Doc Destruction. Scandalous jumps off the topturnbuckle and ....OOOOOOOOH MANNNNN!!!! .....A SPINNING HEELKICK FROM THE TOPROPE!!!.... What a way to start this match!! And he hit Kaanen straight in the face with that move!!

JP: I have to admit that that was a great move by Scandalous. Kaanen never even seen that one coming. Scandalous gets back to his feet again and we can hear his escorts cheering at ringside. Scandalous now picks up Doc Destruction and he hands out a few chops, while the crowd goes oooooh and aaaaah. Scandalous then sends Doc Destruction into one of the four corners! Doc flies in backfirst and Scandalous charges in right after. But Doc sticks his elbow out in the last moment and Scandalous flies facefirst into that elbow.

ND: Scandalous staggers backwards but doesn't go down to the mat. But from behind him its Kaanen Thorne who got up again and he grabs Scandalous and executes a reverse ddt!! And Kaanen goes for the first cover of this match, 1................2........but Scandalous kicks out of it. Kaanen now picks up Scandalous and he sets him up for a northern lights suplex and he executes it!! At that moment Doc Destruction comes back in the match and Doc and Kaanen both pick up Scandalous.

JP: The two of them send Scandalous into the ropes and when he comes off they double backdrop him to the mat. Now Doc goes for the cover, 1.............but Kaanen breaks the count by kicking Doc to the head. Kaanen then grabs Doc by the head and he runs over to the ropes and he throws him over the toprope to the outside!! Oh man he threw Doc Destruction out of the ring, just like that!! Did you see that!!

ND: Kaanen now turns back towards Scandalous again. He picks him up and throws another punch. Kaanen then irish whips Scandalous into the ropes again and when he comes off, its Kaanen for a big powerslam and he hits it!! Oh yess, nicely done by the Cowboy from Hell. Kaanen for another pin attempt now, 1.................2........but another kickout. Kaanen gets to his feet and he grabs Scandalous's leg and ooh yeah he hooks in a figure four leglock.

JP: And I think he hooked it in pretty good right now!! Look at the face of Scandalous, he is definately in great pain now, even though he is not shouting it out. Scandalous is trying to reach for the ropes, but he is too far away right now. He now tries to crawl over, and I think he is doing it. Yess, he is! Scandalous moves himself closer to the ropes now, he only needs a few more inches and then he got it....And he got a hold of the ropes and the referee now makes Kaanen break the figure four leglock.

ND: Scandalous now uses the ropes to get to his feet again. He holds on to the ropes, and at that same moment Kaanen Thorne comes charging in, but oooh Scandalous saw it coming and he backdrops Kaanen Thorne over the toprope to the outside!!! And ooooh noooo even worse, Kaanen Thorne lands on Doc Destruction who was just getting up again!!! So now both Doc and Kaanen are down on the concrete!!

JP: Scandalous now rolls himself to the outside and he goes for Kaanen and he picks him up by the head and goes over to the neares ringpost. BAMMMM!!! And Scandalous ramms Kaanen's head into the steel ringpost!! Scandalous then rolls Kaanen back into the ring again and rolls back in aswell. Kaanen is still laying on the mat and Scandalous is going for the toprope again. He climbs to the top and he jumps off and.........SMOKED UP!!!.... He hits Kaanen Thorne with a big frog splash!!!

ND: Man, what a dive!! And now its Scandalous who's going for the win, 1......................2.................but a late kickout by Kaanen Thorne. He kicked out!! I can't believe he got out of that one!! Scandalous can't believe it either. He shakes his head, but then he concentrates back on Kaanen and picks him up by the head. But oooh a lowblow by Kaanen and Scandalous goes to one knee. And Kaanen quickly follows that up by lifting Scandalous up and executing a spike piledriver!!! Man, what an impact!!

JP: Kaanen goes for the cover, but he only gets a two count here!! Man, that was pretty close now. Kaanen seems to really be in it again. He picks Scandalous up by the head and he sends him into the ropes. Scandalous comes off the ropes and Kaanen grabs him in a powerslam position!! Oooh he's going for his finisher the 6-6 Crush!! Can he do it??!!??

ND: But wowww wait, Doc Destruction got back up and he slides back into the ring and he comes up from behind Kaanen Thorne and he kicks him in the back and Kaanen has to let go off Scandalous. Oh man, he almost executed his fnisher there!! Kaanen now turns around towards Doc Destruction who's leaning into the ropes now. Kaanen comes in and oooooh he clotheslines Doc Destruction out of the ring again!!

JP: He did it again, for the second time in this match!! Doc is on the outside again and Kaanen turns back towards Scandalous again, but ......OOOOOOOHH SHIT!!!...Scandalous got up in the meantime and he grabs Kaanen and .....TOTAL SCANDAL!!...Scandalous just executed his finisher, a spinning implant ddt!!! And he's going for the pin now and. 1..............................2.......................3...... And he gets it!! Scandalous gets the win in his debut match in the EWCL!! What a great debut for this guy, well also for Kaanen Thorne. But in the end its Scandalous who gets the win.

ND: But I'm pretty sure we are gonna see way more of these two guys! Maybe even a one on one match against eachother.

JP: No doubt about it, and I am also eager to find out what they are gonna tell Punisher.

(Commercials).

Winner: Scandalous


(We come back from the commercials and we see One-Eyed Bill's Tavern. Its not really crowded, but we see two people sitting at the bar. Those two people are Sean Corvik and Cazzo).

Corvik: Yeah bartender, bring a fifth of Quality House and two shot glasses.

Cazzo: Hey, thanks for helping me out here.

Corvik: It's no problem. You have to have faith in me. I know you've had problems with that in the past but something has to work out right eventually, correct?

Cazzo: I suppose so. This does look all too familiar though...

(The men get their drinks and Corvik pours the shots. Both men quickly down them.)

Corvik: So like I was saying, you can trust me. I won't let you down. Me, Punisher, Dan, we're all in this together.

Cazzo: Thank you, but you know how hard it is for me to trust anyone. I just got stabbed in the back by one of my best friends and by my fiancee. But thanks again.

(Corvik pours the two shots and again they both quickly down the drinks.)

Cazzo: Whoa, head rush.

(Scene fades out).


The Punisher(c) vs. Mystic vs. Steel Brasco vs. Fazzer - Prime Time Title

JP: Ok, we are back again. And its time for our first title match of the evening. The Punisher, our Prime Time Champion will get the hard task to defend his title against 3 opponents.

ND: But lets get us straight that he can lose his title without being pinned. If for instance Fazzer pins Mystic, then Punisher also loses his title. So its gonna be a real hard case for Captain America.

JP: Yeah, and what to say about his opponent. A few days ago we already saw that Punisher asked Steel Brasco the same question as he did ask the three newcomers earlier tonight. I wonder how Steel is gonna respond to that. Besides Steel we have Fazzer, also on Cazzo's side. Although its not sure wether or not Punisher and Fazzer are gonna work together. And finally we have Mystic who is obviously on Saphio's side.

ND: And I am also intrested if we are gonna see Arcane Syth out here. Last week we saw that he helped out Fazzer to win that match and to get his contract back. Talking about ultimatums and questions, Arcane Syth gave Fazzer the big question to 'come home' to the dark side or not.

(Ballbreaker by AC/DC starts to play and Steel Brasco comes out and the crowd starts to cheer. Steel walks to the ring and on his way there he shakes the hands of some of his Brascoites. He reaches ringside and slides in).

(Outshined by Soundgarden starts to play and Mystic comes out. He makes his way to the ring and slides in and waits for the other two opponents).

(O'fortuna starts to play and the lights go out, a few seconds later they come on again and on the ramp we see 'The Dark One' Fazzer standing on the ramp. He stands there for a few moments and then he makes his way to the ring. He reaches it and slides in).

(Finally American Made plays and the crowd already starts to chant USA USA. Moments after The Punisher and his manager Swamp Fox appear from behind the curtains and they make their way to the ring. On their way they shake the hands of the fans, and when they reach the ring Swamp Fox stays on the ouside while Punisher hands over his Prime Time Title to Jay Blue and then he uses the ringsteps to enter the ring).

JP: All four men are ready now and the ref explains the rules and we can begin.

Ding ding ding.

ND: All four men look at eachother for a little while and then they get it on. It are Punisher and Mystic who are getting it on one side of the ring and on the other side it are Fazzer and Steel. Yes, that was kinda predictable. There has been alot of heat between Punisher and Mystic and there even has been way more than heat between Fazzer and Steel. Steel and Fazzer are throwing fists at eachother, but then its Fazzer with a big elbow to Steels forehead.

JP: Steel falls backwards into the ropes, he bounces off and Fazzer grabs him and does a belly to belly suplex!! Steel lands on the mat and Fazzer bounces himself in the ropes and he comes off and does an elbow drop and lands on Steel. Fazzer gets back to his feet and he picks Steel up by the head, but Steel returns with a kick to the gut and oooh a ddt right after that!!! Fazzer went straight down there!! And Steel goes for the cover, 1........2......but a kickout.

ND: In the other corner we see that Punisher and Mystic lock up and that Mystic comes in with a knee to the midsection. Mystic then grabs Punisher by the head and he does a snappmare. Mystic holds on to the head and hooks in a headlock. But Punisher is trying to get out of that headlock. He's moving around with his head, but Mystic hangs on to the hold. Punisher then swings his right arm and he nails Mystic with it and he lets go off the headlock.

JP: Punisher and Mystic then get back to his feet and Punisher swings another right one, but Mystic blocks it and rakes the Punisher in the eye. Ooh what a cheapshot!! But thats his trademark, ain't it. Mystic grabs Punisher by the arm and he sends him into the ropes. Punisher comes off and Mystic wants to backdrop him, but Punisher reads the move and he grabs Mystics head and he slams it to the mat!! Oh yeahhh!!

ND: We look back to the other corner and we see that Steel picks up Fazzer and he bodyslams him back to the mat. Steel then goes for the corner and starts to climb the topturnbuckle. He stands on top now and he jumps off for a shooting star press and he hits it!! Great move!!! Steel goes for the pin, 1................2.............but Fazzer kicks out again. Steel doesn't hesitate and he picks Fazzer up by the head and drags him over to the corner.

JP: Steel then starts ramming Fazzers head into the topturnbuckle. 1..2...3....4....5....6....7....8....9...10... Steel then takes a couple of steps backwards and then charges in a does a shouldertackle to the midsection. Oh man Steel wants to destroy Fazzer here!! On the other side we see now that Punisher has picked up Mystic again and he irish whips Mystic into that corner where Fazzer and Steel are!! And ...ooooh Mystic flies backfirst into that corner and collides into Steel and Fazzer!!!

ND: And even Punisher rushes in and he splashes into that corner and splashes all three of them!!! Wowww!!! Punisher then grabs Mystic and he sends him into the opposite corner. Punisher then grabs Steel and he irish whips him towards that opposite corner aswell. But Mystic counters and he takes Steel down to the mat with a clothesline. Punisher then grabs Fazzer and we can see Punisher think wether or not he should nail Fazzer or not.

JP: But Punisher doesn't have anytime to think, coz Mystic turns him around and grabs him and does one of his trademark 3/4 turn neckbreakers!! And Punisher goes down to the mat!! Mystic gets up again, but he doesn't get the chance to do anything as Fazzer grabs him from behind and performs a german suplex on him!! And Fazzer goes for the cover, 1............2........and a kickout.

ND: Fazzer then picks up Mystic and nails him with an uppercut. The Dark One follows that up with sending Mystic into the ropes. Mystic comes off and Fazzer grabs him and does an overhead belly to belly suplex!!! Fazzer gets up again, but then its Steel Brasco who comes in with a lariet and takes Fazzer down to the mat!! But Fazzer rather quickly gets up to his feet again and all four men are up again, each one standing in one of the four corners. Oh man, we can start all over again here!!

(Then all of a sudden the lights go out and we hear a voice say "Fazzer, are you coming home??". Followed by the opening tunes of Biblebasher by Deicide which start to play really loud!!)

JP: Its Arcane Syth again!!

ND: What?!?

JP: Did you say something?!?

(Then the music stops and the lights come back on again. Last week at this moment Fazzers opponents were knocked out on the mat. But now this time Mystic, Punisher and Steel are still standing, but there is no sight of Fazzer. Fazzer is gone).

ND: Where is he?? Where is The Dark One?

JP: Beats me, Neil. It looks like Arcane Syth wants some answers, and he wants them now.

ND: The 3 wrestlers left in the ring are standing motionless in the ring, but then its Mystic who takes advantage of the situatio and he goes over to Steel and .....CYNERGY BLAST!!!! ....He superkicked Steel!!! And Mystic is going for the pin, is he gonna be the new champ?, 1..................2............but Punisher comes in and breaks the count.

JP: Punisher drags Mystic off of Steel and he picks him up by the head. Punisher then irish whips Mystic into the ropes, Mystic bounces into the ropes, comes off and Punisher goes of a big boot!!! BUT MYSTIC DUCKS IT AND.......CYNERGY BLAST!!!...... He now hit Punisher with his finisher!! Ooh my Godd!!! Mystic goes for the cover and. 1......................2...........................3....... Nooooo, Mystic won!

ND: Yess, Mystic is the new Prime Time Champion!!! Yesss, yesss!!! Cynergy Blast forever!!! And another title for Prez Saphio, hahaha!!

JP: Steel Brasco slides out of the ring and is outside the ring. He's been beat up pretty bad! Punisher is still down after that superkick by Mystic. But what is Mystic doing? He just received the Prime Time Titlebelt from the ref, but now Mystic is going back towards Punisher and .....BAMMMM.....he ramms the titlebelt into Punisher's head!! My Godd!! He doesn't need to do that!!

ND: Hit him again, haha!!

JP: BAMM, and Mystic ramms Punisher again with that titlebelt. This is getting beyond a joke!! And we see Steel Brasco just walking away! God dam it Steel!! (The crowd are chanting and begging Steel to help, Steel looks up and turns back around and runs to the ring).

JP: Steel is getting back in the ring!! He gets in and he grabs Mystic from behind and..... THE POINT!!! Yes!!! And the crowd is going mad here!! But wait Steel is asking for a microphone now. What does he want to say?

Steel Brasco: Punisher, you asked me the other day who's side I was on. Well I think this does answer your question!!!

(The crowd cheers wild after these words and we then see that Steel is helping Punisher up again).

(Commercials).

Winner: Mystic


(We come back from the commercials and again we go back to the bar in which we saw Sean Corvik and Cazzo before).

Cazzo: AND SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORDDD....

Corvik: Dude, you've only had 2 shots, and I think you spit one of them out.

Cazzo: BULL SHITTT...hey, good luck with Spaphio toonight..

Corvik: Yeah, I think I have him where I want him. No worries. He won't take the Universal Championship from me. He'll have to pry it from my dead fingers. Drink up man, this is supposed to be fun.

(And the scene fades out again).

JP: Ok, it seems like they are having fun.

ND: Like I said before, Corvik sure is confident if he's gonna prepare like this for his match.


Dan Prohibition vs. Iman Sain - Hardcore Match

JP: But before we go start talking about that match, let us first focus on our next one. And its gonna be a slobberknocker.

ND: Wow, I didn't know you knew that word.

JP: Neil, shut up.

ND: Ok, then the next match is between The Ultraviolet...

JP: ULTRAVIOLENT.

ND: Ok, the Ultraviolent Star...

JP: ULTRAVIOLET ALLSTAR.

ND: Ok, between that christian sucka and ...

JP: Hey, show some respect will you.

(Neil Down takes a deep breath).

ND: Ok, then, the next match is between Dan Prohibition and Iman Sain.

JP: Was that so hard?

(Neil Down only mumbles something).

JP: This is gonna be a match according to hardcore rules. We know what Dan Prohibition can do, hey he is the Hardcore Saint and he showed the EWCL public many times before what hardcore is really about.

ND: But don't underestimate Iman Sain. I've seen him in a great hardcore match a while ago against this guy called ...Al Cohol...Hahaha, you get it?

JP: Al Cohol, yeah real funny Neil.

ND: Yeah, I crack myself up sometimes.

JP: Ok, on with the show.

(Stupify by Disturbed starts to play and Iman Sain appears on the ramp. There are mostly boos coming out from the crowd when he comes out. Iman doesn't seem to care and he starts to walk down the ramp to the ring. When Iman is halfway we already see Dan Prohibition coming out. Dan has two fluorescent lightbulbs in his hands and he runs down the ramp towards Iman Sain. Iman Sain doesn't see Dan coming and Dan reaches Iman and smacks him in the head with those fluorescent lightbulbs and the glass shatters all over and Iman Sain goes down to the concrete).

JP: Holy Shit!!

ND: You can say that again!

JP: Dan sure is eager to start this match here!! Good God, he took Iman Sain down with those fluorescent lightbulbs!! I think Iman already started to bleed. Dan now picks up Iman Sain and he drags him over to the guardrail and BAMMM, he slamms Imans head into it!! And BAMMM, he does it again!!! If Dan continues like this, then there won't be much left of Iman Sain in a few minutes. Iman fell down to the concrete again and now we see that Dan is taking something out of his pocket. What does he got?

ND: Its his staplegun!! Blade didn't call him Mr. Staplegun for no reason! Dan is now asking something to someone in the audience and it seems like that someone hands something over to him.

JP: Its a dollarbill Neil. Dan asked a dollarbill and he got it. Dan now holds the dollarbill in front of Iman Sains forehead and.....OOOOOOH GOOOD GODDDDD!!! Dan Prohibtion just stapled that dollarbill to Iman Sains forehead!!! And the blood is flowing allover Imans face!! Iman wanted hardcore, now he got hardcore!! Oh man, what a sight!! Oh, just think how painful that must be.

ND: Oh yeah, I don't think Iman will attract many girls the next few days with a hole in his forehead like that! But hey, at least he earned a dollar!!

JP: Dan now grabs Imans head and he drags him to the ring. They arrive at ringside and Dan ramms Imans head into the apron for about 5 times. Oh man, Iman is leaving a trail of blood on the apron. Thats nice. Dan grabs Iman again and he lifts him on top off the apron. What is he gonna do? Dan climbed onto the apron as well and he lifts Iman up and ......PENANCE OF YOUR SINS FROM THE APRON TO THE CONCRETE!!! OOOOOOOOH HOLY GEEZUS!!!

ND: Dan just piledrived Iman Sain from the apron to the concrete!! Did you see that!!! And Iman is totally knocked out now!! And shit, I don't think he can use that dollarbill after, its totally covered with blood!! Agh!! But just look at the rage in Dan Prohibition!! He sure is driven. And he's not stopping. Dan picks up Iman Sain and now he is dragging him over to the spanish announcetable. Dan then lifts Iman up and lays him on top of that table.

JP: Iman is still not looking good. Oh man. Dan now climbs the apron and then he starts to climb the topturnbuckle. The Hardcore Saint is now on top of that topturnbuckle and he looks at Iman Sain who's still laying on the spanish announcetable. And then Dan dives off the topturnbuckle for his FLYING GUILLOTINE!!........BUT OOOOOOH NOOOOOOO!!! IMAN SAIN ROLLED HIMSELF OF THE TABLE JUST IN TIME AND DAN PROHIBITION FLIES STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!!!

ND: Oh man, what a mess over there. Its a good thing that they always pick the spannish announcetable. But just look at it. Dan is laying between whats left of that table and right next to him on the ground we see Iman Sain. Both men still out of it. What a massacre.

JP: Let us look at the rerun of what just happend, we have plenty of time I think. Man, what a bump!!

ND: I see some movement now. I think its Iman Sain who's getting up first here. Yes he is. He looks pretty shitty, but at least he's standing on his two feet again. He looks over to Dan and sees that he's still on the ground. Iman Sain then grabs Dan by the head and he picks him up and he sends him backfirst into the apron. Iman then picks up one of the monitors from the spanish commentary team.

JP: And Iman then charges into Dan and nails him with that monitor!! BAMMMM!!!! And Dan falls down to the ground! Iman follows this up with throwing the monitor to Dan's midsection. Iman then looks under the ring and from under it he takes two steelchairs and he throws both of them into the ring. He then picks Dan up by the head and rolls him into the ring. Wow, they are even taking it into the ring.

ND: Iman rolls himself into the ring now aswell and he picks up one of the two chairs and goes over to Dan. Dan is starting to get back up to his feet, but WHAMMM!!! Iman slamms him down to the mat again with a chairshot. Iman then ramms the steelchair into Dan's midsection. Iman now drops the chair and he picks up Dan and he executes a t-bone suplex!! Man, this goes on and on. Iman looks at the corner and he goes over and starts to climb the topturnbuckle.

JP: He stands on top now and looks down at Dan and.....THE LEAP FROM INSANITY!!!.....A 450 splash from the toprope and he lands on Dan!!! Man, what a move!!! And Iman is going for the cover now, 1...............2.................but he kicks out!! Dan Prohibition kicked out!! Unbelievable!! How did he do that!!

ND: Iman gets back to his feet and he picks up Dan and he irish whips him, but Dan reverses the irish whip and sends Iman into the ropes. Iman comes off and Dan does a drop toe hold and Iman falls facefirst into one of those two steelchairs!! Ooh that must hurt, especially with that staple still in his forehead!! Dan picks Iman up again and ....swinging neckbreaker....and Iman goes down to the mat again. And now its Dans turn to go for the pin, 1....................2..........but Iman kicks out.

JP: Dan gets up and he picks up one of the steelchairs. He then waits till Iman is getting back to his feet. Iman now is back up and Dan swings with the chair, but ....OOOOOOHHH ......Iman must have seen it coming and he counters with dropkicking the steelchair straight into Dan's face!! Oh man!!! And Dan went down to the mat. And Iman goes for the chairs now.

ND: Iman is setting up those two chairs in the ring now. He unfolds them and sets them up near a corner. Iman then slides to the outside again and from under the ring he grabs about 5 lightbulbs and slides back into the ring. Iman then positions those lightbulbs between those two chairs. Oh man, what does he have in mind?? Iman picks up Dan and he lifts him on top of that topturnbuckle. Iman Sain climbs on aswell and he manouevres Dan Prohibition and ....

JP: MENTAL SUICIDE OF THE TOPROPE THROUGH THOSE LIGHTBULBS!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! Glass is all over the place now!! And Iman Sain is going for the cover now. 1.............................2...........................3......... And he wins!! Iman Sain beats Dan Prohibition in one of the baddest hardcore brawls that the EWCL has ever seen!! Oh man what a carnage. They better clean up that ring before the next match.

ND: What a match!

(Commercials).

Winner: Iman Sain


(We come back from the commercials and we go to the tavern once more. Corvik and Cazzo are still there drinking and talking).

Corvik: Well Eric, I think it's about time to head to the arena to check out this tag team match. I believe it's supposed to start here in a few minutes.

(Corvik steps up but Cazzo quickly grabs his hand and sits him back down.)

Cazzo: Thankks Sean...this make me feel a WHOOOOOOO' worl' bett...er.

Corvik: Everything's under control, and I'm glad you feel better. I have to find out who's going to become the number one contenders to the tag titles and defend my Universal Championship now. I'll give Saphio a nice ass kicking for you. Trust me.

Cazzo: I trussst you Seaann. Knock 'em dead muthafucka!.........Bartender! Gimme another beer!!

(Scene fades out).

JP: Man alot of things goin on. We just saw that awesome match and we also just saw that Corvik is on his way to the arena and that Cazzo likes his beer at the tavern.

ND: Hmm, I thought he was more like a wine-guy.


Blade/Joe Johnson vs. The Zer0/Drake Laps

JP: But enough about that. Its time for our next match. And its a rather important match aswell. Ever since Prez Saphio is in charge he managed to boost the tagteam division up. Yup, thats one good thing that our new prez did over the last few weeks. But anyway, last week Saint & Sinner defeated The New Era, The Zer0 and Drake Laps. But it took Saint & Sinner more effort than that they admit though. Now this week The New Era will fight the combination of Blade and Joe Johnson for the number one contender spot for the tagtitles.

ND: Now let me state that this doesn't mean that the winner gets a titleshot next week. It could be, but it doesn't necessarrily has to be like that.

JP: Neil, I hear we are gonna see a short clip that was taken only minutes ago. Ok, lets watch that now.

(The titantron comes on and we see Blade and Joe Johnson in their lockerroom. They are discussing a few things).

Blade: Joe, I want to apologize for the lack of training I did all week. But you know I got other things on my mind.

Joe Johnson: Michael trust me I know.

Blade: Chris (Exile) is still in a comatose and even though we never always got along, he is still my brother. And we really bonded lately, but now I get this feeling that I might not talk to him ever again.

Joe: The Chris Lemke I know is a tough guy and not someone who is gonna give up easily. He'll pull through.

Blade: I am still waiting for a phonecall from the hospital with more information. About an hour ago they called me with some latest news on Chris. It wasn't going good with him, it wasn't going good at all. So if I'm not that focussed in our match, than you know why.

Joe Johnson: You know how much I want to win this match and get in the ring with Dan and Corvik, but if you are not capable to wrestle then we just have to go to Saphio and ask to cancel the match.

Blade: Noo, I don't want that. We will wrestle tonight.

(While they are still talking the scene fades out).

JP: Yes, it really are some hard times for Blade now that Exile, his brother, is in a coma. We all hope that Exile will be ok.

ND: You're a hypocrite.

JP: Hey, there is a difference between not liking the guy and not wanting him to die, you know. Its true, I admit it, I am not a fan of Exile, but that don't mean that I hope he is gonna die. Man.

ND: Ok, then.

JP: Lets talk about the opponents today. The Zer0 and Drake Laps, The New Era, and they can go far in the EWCL. They almost won the tagtitles in their first match together and now they can get closer to those titles again.

(Orange footlights around the EWCL entranceway start moving as "Meet The Creeper (Pink Pussy Mix)" by Rob Zombie opens up on the house speakers. As the music throbs orange lasers move back and forth over the entrance as the lights in the arena go out and orange spotlights move all over the arena. Orange light rises over the ring as The Minister of CHAOS! and Amethyst first make their way out. Jezebelle, The Bitch Queen of HARDCORE, is next. The Zer0 comes out last together with Drake Laps as fire erupts from the ringposts. The entourage makes its way down to the ring. Jezebelle and Amethyst take up spots near the timekeeper while The Minister of CHAOS! takes his place along ringside. The Zer0 and Drake Laps enter the ring and stand in the middle. The Zer0 raises his hand above his head and crosses them in front of his face. He snaps them to his sides as fire erupts from the entrance and lighnting strikes all four ringposts. The lights return to normal at the same exact moment as "Meet the Creeper" fades out...).

(The lights slowly go black as the sound of footsteps can be heard over the speakers, and suddenly My Own summer by the Deftones fills the arena. Blue strobe lights surround the entranceway as "The Hardcore Event" Joe Johnson and Blade slowly and calmly walk down the aisle. They roll into the ring, and stands in the middle of the ring and stare at their opponent).

JP: The ref explains the rules and we see that Blade and Drake Laps are gonna start it off. They circle eachother for a few moments and then they tie up. Blade then waistlocks Laps, but Laps reverses the waistlock, but then Blade comes in with an elbow to the face and Laps lets go. They then tie up again and this time Laps gets in a side headlock and they go into the ropes.

ND: Laps lets go and Blade goes into the opposite ropes, he comes off and Laps does a hurricanrana!! Laps picks Blade up and takes him down to the mat with an armdrag. Laps holds on to the armdrags and hooks in an armlock. But Blade is trying to get back up again, and he does. Blade gets to his feet, but Laps is still holding on to that armlock. And ooooh Blade counters that armlock and does a dropkick and Laps lets go off the armlock.

JP: Blade gets up and he rushes in on Laps, but wow Drake counters and grabs a hold of Blade and does a powerslam to take him down to the mat. Laps going for the cover, 1.................2.........kickout. Laps gets up and he tags in his partner The Zer0. The Zer0 picks Blade up and sends him into the ropes. Blade comes off and ...airplane spin toss by The Zer0. Wow that must have hurt the way Blade went to the mat!! The Zer0 grabs Blade again and he lifts him up for a firemans carry ddt and yeah he executes it!!

ND: Now The Zer0 goes for the pin, 1...................2..........but again Blade kicks out of it. The Zer0 to his feet again and he picks up Blade and drags him over to one of the four corners and he sets him in a tree of woe position. Oh, I know whats coming now. We have seen Joe Johnson do this many times before. The Zer0 takes a few steps back and ......oooh wait Joe Johnson climbs in the ring and he pads The Zer0 on the back. The Zer0 turns around and Joe Johnson moves his index finger from left to right, that says "Don't do that, thats my move!!".

JP: But woowwww The Zer0 just stares at Joe for a second and then he throws a big right hand to the head. And at that moment the ref breaks it up and he sends Joe Johnson back to his corner. And The Zer0 smirks and he rushes in on Blade, who's still in the tree of woe position, and dropkicks him to the face!! He did it!! Oh, man Joe is not gonna be happy about that. And The Zer0 seems to be enjoying all of this. He drags Blade out of that corner and he sends him into the ropes again.

ND: Blade bounces in the ropes, and at that moment Joe pads him on the back and that way he makes the tag. Blade comes off the ropes and The Zer0 clotheslines him back to the mat again. But The Zer0 is unaware of it that Blade made the tag and Joe Johnson comes in and he grabs The Zer0 by the back of the head and executes a flying bulldog. And while Blade moves back to his own corner, Joe picks up The Zer0 and drags him over to a corner and this time he puts him in a tree of woe position.

JP: I guess its payback time huh. Joe kneels down before The Zer0 and again he moves with his index finger. Joe then takes a few steps backwards and does a baseball slide straight to the face of The Zer0!! Man!! Courtesy of Joe Johnson. Joe then drags The Zer0 out of the corner. And The Hardcore Event lifts his opponent up for a piledriver. Joe tries, but The Zer0 blocks it. Joe tries again, but The Zer0 blocks it again and counters with backdropping his opponent to the mat.

ND: And The Zer0 quickly tags in his partner Drake Laps. The Zer0 and Laps pick Joe up and they send him into the ropes. He comes off and The Zer0 does a drop toe hold and follows up right after with a legdrop to the back of the head!! After that move The Zer0 goes back to his corner. Laps picks up Joe and lifts him up and executes a snap suplex. Laps then picks Joe up again and he sends him towards one of the four corners. But wow, Joe jumps on the topturnbuckle, uses it as a springboard and does a corkscrew moonsault and lands on Laps!!

JP: Now thats Joe Johnson allright!! And he's getting to his feet now and he picks up Drake Laps and hands out several punches. Laps then ducks one punch and bounces himself into the ropes and comes off for a frankensteiner, but ooooh Joe Johnson reverses it and changes it into a powerbomb!! Ooh man!!! And Joe goes for the pin, 1.....................2...............but The Zer0 comes in and he breaks the count by low dropkicking Joe.

ND: The Zer0 picks Joe up and he sends him into their own corner and charges in and splashes on him. The Zer0 then climbs through the ropes again, but he holds Joe so that Laps can come in and Laps also splashes on top off Joe Johnson!! Oooh some good tagteam moves here. They are already working way more as a tagteam than last week. And Drake Laps now tags in The Zer0.

JP: The Zer0 drags Joe out of the corner and he irish whips him into the ropes. Joe comes off and he ducks the arm of The Zer0.

ND: Hey who the heck is that?

(We see a member of the staff running down the ramp to the ring. The staffmember goes over to Blade and Joe Johnson's corner and he stops where Blade is standing. He calls Blade and Blade jumps off the apron. We then see that the staffmember is saying some things to Blade. Blade's face almost turns totally pale. He then looks into the ring for a second to Joe, but then Blade decides to join the staffmember and they walk out of ringside).

ND: Wow!! Whats that about?

JP: That staffmember must have told Blade something about Exile. The way he went pale, it just must have something to do with that. And make no wonder that he leaves ringside, his brother is fighting for his life. In the ring we see that Joe Johnson is crawling over to his corner. He just took his opponent down with a flying clothesline, but now he wants to make the tag. Joe reaches his corner and he gets to his feet and wants to make the tag, but there is nobody there.

ND: Joe stands there in disbelief, looking around where Blade is. But he's not there. And then from behind him its The Zer0 who grabs him and executes a german suplex. Oh and he holds on and does another german suplex!! Wow, and another one. Three german suplexes in a row now. And man, Joe was already in the ring for a long time and now he has to finish this alone. Its gonna be tough. Joe is down and The Zer0 tags in Laps.

JP: Laps comes in and The Zer0 lifts Joe on top of his own shoulders. At the same moment Drake Laps is climbing the topturnbuckle. Laps is on top and he jumps off and .....HE DOES A TOPROPE HURRICANRANA ON JOE WHO WAS STILL ON THE ZER0'S SHOULDERS!!! Holy freaking shit!! Did you see that??!!?? What a great move, truly a great move!!! That must be their finisher or not?

ND: Don't know John. Drake Laps goes for the pin now and. 1...........................2........................3...........and they get the win. The Zer0 and Drake Laps get the win here!! I can't believe it. Joe Johnson is down and defeated. Coz of Blade's condition he mostly was fighting alone against two people and he almost even pulled it off. But in the end it are The Zer0 and Drake Laps with the victory.

Winner: The Zer0/Drake Laps


Sean Corvik(c) vs. Saphio - Universal Title

JP: People we are back for the last time this evening. Its time for our main event of the evening, although it seems like we already saw a few main events matches tonight. Man we had some great matches here, and some big upsets. What a night.

ND: But the biggest upset is still to come, Prez Saphio will be the new Universal Champion.

JP: No, no Neil, thats not gonna happen. Just compare the skills of Saphio and Corvik. It freaks me out that you say that Saphio is gonna win, while it was you Neil, who gave Sean Corvik the nickname "The Master of the Moves".

ND: Well that was then, this is now. Times have changed.

JP: Ok then, we'll see who will be the universal champion. Is it gonna be Sean Corvik, or will it be Saphio.

ND: Prez Saphio.

JP: Yeah whatever.

(Then AC/DC's Highway to Hell starts to play. The crowd start to boo like never heard before. A chorus of boos echo around the arena and it feels like its shaking with the noise.There are orange strobe lights flashing around the arena and then in the entrance way is the silohuette of Saphio. The lights come back on and huge explosions explode from the ramp. Saphio stands on the rampway looking down on the fans with a look of absolute disgust on his face. He is getting some real heat off them. He continues to scan the crowd with a look of absolute disgust on his face. He then raises his head and walks down the rampway. He reaches the ring and steps through the middle rope. The crowd are now going crazy with their taunts. These seem to unphase Saphio as he remains stood in the middle of the ring. He raises his left hand into the air and after a couple of minutes the crowds! boos dies down.)

(A few moments later "Died" by Alice in Chains starts to play and the crowd starts to cheer already. Then the Universal Champion "Kritical Kondition" Sean Corvik comes out. He got the Universal Title around his waist and he makes his way to the ring. His eyes are contstantly focussed on Saphio who's standing in the ring. Corvik reaches ringside and he hands his title over to Jay Blue. Corvik then uses the ringsteps to enter the ring).

JP: For the last time the referee explains the rules but it seems like they both aren't paying attention to him. The rules for this match are as follows, no-disqualification, no-interferences allowed and well thats about it.

Ding ding ding.

JP: The bell has rung and the match can begin.

ND: Hail hail our president.

JP: Will you stop.

ND: ...

JP: Corvik and Saphio circle eachother for about 6 seconds and then they lock up. Both men are trying to get the best position with neither getting the advantage. Corvik then pushes Saphio off of him but Saphio goes for a quick right hand. But Corvik ducks it and both men stare at eachother again. The two lock up again, but this time it is Corvik who gets in an armdrag. Saphio gets to his feet again and the two lock up for a third time. And this time its Saphio with a knee to the gut.

ND: And Corvik goes down to one knee. Sapio bounces himself into the ropes and he comes off and kicks Corvik to the head and Corvik falls down to the mat. Saphio then jumps on top of Corvik and he starts to ramm his head into the mat. 1...2...3....4...5....6...7...8....9...10.. But Saphio doesn't let go and now he starts choking Corvik. He can't be disqualified so the ref is not doing anything to stop this here.

JP: But Saphio stops the chokehold himself and he gets back up to his feet. The Prez picks up Corvik by the hair and he then hands out a couple of chops. Saphio then sends Corvik into the ropes, Corvik comes off and Saphio grabs him and does a gorilla press slam. That was pretty impressive, I didn't know he was capable of doing that. Saphio then goes for the early cover, 1..........2.....but Corvik kicks out.

ND: Saphio then picks Corvik up again from the mat. And he lifts Corvik up for a suplex, but the Universal Champion blocks it with his foot. Saphio tries again, but Corvik blocks it again and counters with a suplex of his own!! Corvik takes a few moments to recuperate before he gets back up again. After he gets up he picks up Saphio and kicks him in the stomach and follows that up with a ddt.

JP: Corvik quickly picks Saphio up againi and he sends him into the ropes. Saphio comes off and Corvik grabs him and does a spinning sideslam on him!!! Oh yes, The Master of the Moves is back in the game!! Corvik gets up and he stomps on Saphio several times. Kritical Kondition then picks Saphio up, but Saphio lowblows Corvik. Oooh. And Saphio follows that up with grabbing Corvik's and executing a spinebuster.

ND: Saphio then looks around for a second and then he slides to the outside. He looks under the ring and from under the ring he grabs a steelchair. Saphio gets up again, but in the meantime Sean Corvik got back up and he charges towards the side where Saphio is standing and he does a baseball slide to the outside and hits the steelchair and it goes straight into Saphio's face.

JP: Oh yes!! And Saphio went down!! Corvik is on the outside aswell now and he picks up the steelchair and he ramms it one time into Saphio's head. He then lays the steelchair on top of the apron. Saphio is trying to get back up, but Corvik helps him up and hands out another big right fist. Corvik follows that up with irish whipping Saphio in the direction of the steel ringsteps and Saphio flies into them backfirst!!

ND: Corvik slowly walks over to him and he grabs his head and BAMMMM slamms it into the ringsteps!! Corvik then picks up Saphio and ramms his head into the steel ringpost. BAMMMM!!! Common Saphio, get back up!!! But Corvik comes in again and drags Saphio towards the guardrail and throws him over the guardrail into the crowd!!

JP: Corvik then climbs on top of the guardrail and he jumps off for a double axehandle, but oooh Saphio lifts his right leg up and hits Corvik in the head with it. Saphio gets up and he pushes a fan off of his chair and he folds it up and bashes it into Corviks head. Not once, but about 4 times. Saphio then drops the chair and picks Corvik up by the hair and throws him back over the guardrail towards ringside.

ND: Saphio climbs over the guardrail aswell and he picks up Corvik and he drags him over to the ring and rolls him back in. Saphio then goes over to Jay Blue and not so surprisingly he pushes Jay Blue off of his chair and grabs that steelchair. Saphio then brings that chair back into the ring with him. He climbs through the ropes and he then goes over to Corvik and ramms him in the head with that chair!! BAMMM!!!

JP: And Corvik who just got to his feet falls down again. Saphio has a smile on his face now and he unfolds the chair and sets it up right next to Corvik. Saphio then sits down on the chair and crosses his legs over eachother. He looks at Corvik in an arrogant way and he shakes his head. Man, what an arrogant son of a bitch. Thats no way to show respect to the Universal Champion.

ND: He's the prez, he can do whatever he wants to.

JP: Saphio now gets up from his chair again and he picks up Corvik from the mat and he irish whips him, but wowww Sean Corvik reverses the irish whip and sends Saphio into the ropes!! Saphio comes off of the ropes and Corvik flapjacks him and Saphio lands facefirst on that seated chair!!! OOOOOOH YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! Hahaha!! He's back!!! Corvik then quickly grabs the chair and he folds it up and this time its his turn again to ramm it into his opponents head.

ND: And now its Saphio who is down on the mat. Corvik now picks up Saphio and .....Asphyxiation!!! One of Corviks trademark moves!! And he's going for the cover, 1..............2...........but Saphio kicks out of it. Corvik grabs Saphio one more time and he sends him into the ropes again. But Saphio holds on to the ropes.

JP: Corvik charges in on Saphio, but Saphio moves out of the way at the last moment and Corvik flies over the toprope!! And Saphio is already starting to do his strut, but he is unaware of it that Corvik held on to the ropes and he pulls himself up again into the ring. (like Shawn Michaels always used to do) Oh yeahhhh!!!!

ND: Turn around Saphio!! Turn around!!

JP: And while Saphio is still doing his strut, Corvik is standing right behind him. And then Sean Corvik then turns Saphio around and ........THE DARKEST HOUR!!!! OOOOH YEAAHHHH HE HOOKED IT IN!!!! Sean Corvik got his finisher submission hooked in and what is Saphio doing? Is he tapping out? .......YESSSSS.....SAPHIO TAPPED OUT!!!!.....And Sean Corvik is still the undisputed Universal Champion!!!

ND: Oh man, what a fluke.

(While Corvik is getting back up to his feet, we see Cazzo coming out and running to the ring. The crowd is cheering him on and Cazzo slides himself in the ring and he goes over to Corvik and he raises his hand in the air and the crowd starts to cheer even more!).

JP: What a great sight and what a great win by Sean Corvik!!! And what a great way to end this evening of Venom. And after a Venom like this you can't wait for next week. Oh and don't forget that in two weeks we have another PPV coming up. Ok, I am John Pilchard and I say goodnight and see you next week!!!

(Fade out).

Winner: Sean Corvik
