(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. Universal Champion Sean Corvik, Blade, Exile, Chris Christ, Steve Studnuts, The Punisher 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: Last time folks, last time!! Welcome to the very last Venom ever. It's sad but true.

Neil Down: Damn right John. It's a damn shame that this is the end of EWCL Venom, but what can we do about it?

JP: Nothing, nothing at all. All we can do is to make this last Venom extra special. And when you look at tonights card, than thats definately possible.

ND: Yes, coz the main event of the night is one hell of a match up.

JP: We have Sean Corvik and Chris Christ taking on Exile and Drake Laps. All four men will be headlining EWCL's last PPV Family Values next week. Corvik and Exile will battle it out in a Dungeon match for the Universal Title and Laps and Christ will fight for the Internet Title.

ND: Well actually I heard a rumour about the Laps - Christ match for Family Values.

JP: Ooh noo not another rumour. Everybody knows that you make them up.

ND: But I really got this one from a reliable source.

JP: Yeah sure Neil. So whats the rumour?

ND: Apparently Drake Laps got a bad grade on his report card and was subsequently grounded to go to the PPV.

JP: Yeah right, like anyone believes that Neil. You sure came up with alot of rumours, but this one really does it.

ND: But its true!!

JP: Yeah, yeah fool somebody else Neil!!

ND: ...

JP: So anyway apart from the Main Event we have some other matches that could be intresting. We have The Punisher and G-Flem taking on RPG and Xavier in a tagmatch. We have Eleven versus that annoying Marcus Babylon, there is a threeway between Mystic, Sythe and Marco and to start off we got Flame versus Nick Dangerous.

ND: Some lineup there.

(Then the Cazzotron comes on and we see the new wrestler Syth enter the EWCL building. He got a sportsbag over his shoulder and he smirks as the security guard greets him. Then all of a sudden its former IWF star Marco who comes up from behind Syth and he attacks him with a kendo stick. Syth didn't see it coming and he goes down to his knees. Marco strikes again with that kendo stick and this time Syth goes down to the floor. Marco bashes the kendo stick one more time into Sythe's head and then he disappears).

(Cazzotron fades out).

ND: Nice debut for Syth, huh.

JP: Yeah and nice debut for Marco aswell.

JP: But now its time for the opening match of the evening. So to speak the beginning of the end.

ND: The night is still young John. No need to start getting all sentimental already.

JP: I just can't help it Neil. My emotions are just too strong.

ND: Yeah I get that too sometimes when I eat too many eggs.

JP: Oh God Neil!!

ND: ....

JP: Ok, last week we saw Flame making his debut. Although he lost to Xavier, he did make a decent impression. Tonight he gets his second chance and this time its against Nick Dangerous. Nick Dangerous who recently made very clear that he isn't really happy about Prez Cazzo's actions.

ND: Yeah Nick still is pissed about it that he is responsible for the jobbers. He's still not happy about it that Cazzo did that to him.

JP: Yeah well, shit happens.

(Then "Out of my head" by Puddle of Mud starts to play and Flames burst up and the lights come on again. The 6'5" Flame comes out and makes his way to ringside. The fans boo him while he marches to the ring. Once he reaches the ring, he uses the ringsteps to enter it).

(Ground Breaking by Swollen Members starts to play and moments later its Nick Dangerous who appears on the top of the ramp. The crowd reacts mixed, some cheer Nick on while others boo him. Nick Dangerous is all alone and there are no jobbers joining him to the ring. Nick makes his way to ringside and slides in the ring).

Ding ding ding

JP: And its on!! Dangerous and Flame circle eachother for about 5 seconds and then they tie up. And its Flame who comes in with a knee to the gut. Dangerous goes down to one knee and Flame bounces himself into the ropes and he comes off and he kicks his opponent to the head. Flame then grabs Nick by the arm and he irish whips him into the ropes. Dangerous comes off and Flame clotheslines him back to the mat again.

ND: Flame raises his arms in the air and the crowd gives him more heat. He then picks Dangerous up again and goes for another irish whip, but this time Dangerous reverses the whip and Flame flies into the ropes. He comes off and Dangerous does a drop toe hold and Flame goes face first into the mat. Dangerous picks Flame up and he lifts him up and executes a northern lights suplex!! Dangerous goes for the early cover, but Flame kicks out after 1.

JP: Dangerous sends Flame in the ropes again and this time when he comes off its Nick with an overhead belly to belly suplex!! Nicely executed!! Nick bounces himself into the ropes and he comes off with a kneedrop on Flame. Dangerous follows that up with picking Flame up and throwing him into the ropes, Flame comes off and Dangerous grabs him and does a spinning samoan drop!!

ND: And Dangerous for the cover attempt, 1........................................2...........................but Flame kicks out. And Nick Dangerous can't believe it, he can't believe that Flame kicked out of that. Dangerous picks Flame up and he throws a couple of punches to his face. Flame staggers backwards and falls into the ropes. Nick Dangerous charges in right after and he clotheslines Flame over the toprope to the outside!!

JP: If this was next week then Flame would have been eliminated. Remember next week we will have a big Battle Royal for the Prime Time Title at Family Values. An over the toprope Battle Royal, that promises to be excellent. But to get back to this match. Flame is laying on the outside and now Dangerous rolls himself out of the ring and he goes over to his opponent. He picks Flame up from the mat and ooooh Flame counters with a lowblow.

ND: Flame then quickly drags Dangerous over to the ringpost and he wants to slam Nicks head into it!!! But Nick blocks it and .....BAMMMMMM.... He ramms Flame's head into the steel ringpost!! He gets what he deserves there, I guess. Dangerous holds on to Flame's head and he rolls him back into the ring. Nick gets back in aswell and he immediately picks Flame up and sends him into the ropes.

JP: Flame comes off the ropes and Nick Dangerous gets a hold of him and ......DANGER DRIVER!!!!..........Finisher!!!.....Flame is down and Nick Dangerous goes for the cover. 1.......................................2..............................................3..........And gets the victory.

ND: And he didn't even need the jobbers to get the win!!

JP: Well thats not that shocking Neil. Everyone knows that there's more chance that the jobbers ruin a match than that they save a match.

(Commercials).

Prez Cazzo: Stacy....thats why you are my secretary!!! Don't you get it!?! Whenever I tell you to do something, then I expect you to do that. Do you understand?

..................................

Prez Cazzo: Fine with me. So any other news?

.................................................

Prez Cazzo: Hmm, so Punisher and G-Flem want that their tagmatch against RPG and Xavier is for the tagtitles? Well let me see, let me think about this. This is the last Venom, the EWCL is coming to an end. Pssssh sure whatever just give them that title shot. The tagtitles were vacant anyway coz Joe Johnson is suspended and Blade has disappeared. Sure just put the tagtitles on the line. They have to give the titles back anyway in two weeks. So can you make sure that all wrestlers involved know this?

.................................

Prez Cazzo: Great Stacy, you see, you are already improving.

(Cazzo then ends the phoneconversation. He walks on but then someone taps on Cazzo's shoulder and the President turns around and he sees EWCL wrestler Mystic).

Prez Cazzo: What is it Mystic?

Mystic: I wanted to let you know that I can't be on the House Show tour the next few weeks.

Prez Cazzo: What?? And you are telling me this because....?

Mystic: Well you are the boss and I just wanted to let you know.

Prez Cazzo: You haven't been following the news, now haven't you? That jump off that building really did something to your brain right?

Mystic: What do you mean? What jump?

Prez Cazzo: My point exactly. Mystic, to summ it up tonight is the last Venom, next week is the last PPV and then its finito with the EWCL. Thats the End my Friend. So you don't even have to go to any freaking House show, coz they no longer exist anymore then, comprende?

Mystic: Oooh, I see. Yeah that also explains alot.

Prez Cazzo: Ok then.

(At that moment its former IWF'er Marco who comes into the picture and he comes up from behind Mystic and he knocks him down to the floor with a kendo stick. Marco works on Mystic with that kendo stick for a couple of times. He then looks up to Prez Cazzo who's standing in front of him. Prez Cazzo just lifts his shoulders up and he then turns around and walks away from the scene).

(Scene fades out).

JP: We're back again people and its time for the second match. A match which will see two newcomers to the EWCL. First there is Sythe, The Creator of the Game.

ND: Is he like Alexander Glory's brother or what? Sythe....Game....Thats just a little bit too coincidental to me.

JP: Not sure if there is a link between them two. Fact still is though that Alexander Glory is still missing. Ever since he escaped from the FBI there has been no word or footage of Glory. Nobody knows where he is. Or do you have any idea Neil? Doesn't one of your sources know anything?

ND: Nope, no news about Glory. No word on the street, it seems like he disappeared.

JP: That brings us to the second newcomer and thats Marco. We all know the story by know. Marco is a former IWF wrestler but after he lost a match via stipulation he had to leave.

ND: Nice stipulation: "IF YOU LOSE YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE EWCL".

JP: NOO Neil, that wasn't the stipulation. It was a "Loser leaves the federation" stipulation.

ND: Oh I see.

JP: Finally we have Mystic in this match. Mystic is a well-established EWCL wrestler, but lately it seems like he isn't himself. Ever since he jumped off that building he seems to be different.

(Outshined by Soundgarden starts to play and Mystic comes out. The former Prime Time Champion stands on the top of the ramp and he then starts to make his way down to the ring. He greets some fans on his way and when he reaches the ring he slides in).

(I stand alone by Godsmack starts to play and "The Creator of the Game" Sythe comes out from behind the curtains. He stands on the top of the ramp and he raises his arms into the air. The crowd boos him, but he doesn't react to that. But then from behind the curtains it is Nick Dangerous. Dangerous comes out and he attacks Sythe and takes him down with a clothesline. Sythe goes down to the ramp and Nick Dangerous picks him up again and .......DANGER DRIVER ON THE TOP OF THE RAMP!!!).

JP: GOOD GODDD!! Did you see that?!? Whats Dangerous trying to do there?!?

ND :Sythe is knocked out on the top of the ramp and we see that Nick Dangerous disappears behind the curtains again. But wait......he's coming back again!! Nick Dangerous comes out again but this time he's not alone. HE GOT FRANK STYLES WITH HIM!!!

JP: What?

ND: Nick just brought FBI agent Frank Styles out. Styles got a few of his colleagues with him and the FBI agents pick up Syth and they cuff him!!!

JP: Holy shit!! They must think that they are arresting Alexander Glory. To remember all of you, Alexander Glory his alter ego was Arcane Sythe and well like we said before there has to be a link between Glory and this Sythe here. There just got to be. But it is definately certain that they are not one and the same. But apparently Nick Dangerous whispered something into Frank Styles his ear.

ND: And they are taking Sythe out of here. Really nice debut for Sythe.

(Bad boy for life by P. Diddy starts to play and Marco comes out. He appears on the ramp and he makes his way down to the ring right away. The crowd cheers him on while he walks down to the ring. Marco slides in the ring and he climbs on the second rope and raises his right arm into the air. At the same time a "IWF SUCKS" chant starts in the packed full arena).

ND: He's making a nice impact here, this fomer IWF star.

JP: But this sure ain't bringing the IWF and the EWCL closer to eachother.

ND: Yeah well I doubt they care as the EWCL is coming to an end anyway.

JP: You're right about that one there Neil.

(Marco is still standing on the second rope and its Mystic who goes over to him and he grabs him from behind and he german suplexes him off the second rope).

JP: Holy Shit!!! This match has started allright!! Mystic took advantage of the situation here and well he wants payback from that assault just minutes ago. We saw that Marco attacked Mystic backstage with a kendo stick. Mystic picks Marco up and he throws a couple of right ones to Marco's face. Marco is overwhelmed and he stumbles backwards. Mystic grabs his arm and he sends him into the ropes. Marco comes off and Mystic does one of his tilt-o-whirl backbreakers!!

ND: Mystic is not wasting anytime and he grabs Marco by the head and he hands out a couple of fists again. He then irish whips Marco into one of the four corner. Marco flies in backfirst and Mystic follows in hot pursuit. Mystic comes in, but oooooh Marco lifts his leg up and Mystic flies facefirst into the big boot!!! OOOOHHH!!!! Mystic staggers backwards and Marco comes in and takes him to the mat with a running clothesline!!

JP: Marco now picks Mystic up and ......DOUBLE ARM DDT!!!....Mystic is layed out on the mat and Marco goes for the cover, 1...................................2............but a kickout by Mystic. Marco gets up and he kicks the former Prime Time Champion in the head for about 4 times. He then picks him and and starts a series of chops to the midsection. Marco then irish whips Mystic into the ropes and after he comes off Marco grabs him by the throat!!

ND: And he turns it into a chokehold!!! Marco is now choking the life out of Mystic!! The referee is starting his count here now, 1.......2.....3.......4......5.....and now he is making Marco stop the chokehold. Marco nodds to the referee, and he then lifts Mystic up and ......CHOKESLAMS HIM TO THE MAT!!!.....OOOH MAN!!! Thats a strong man there!! Did you see that!?! He just single handedly chokeslammed Mystic like it was nothing. Mystic is still laying on the mat and Marco is going to the nearest corner now.

JP: He climbs it all the way to the top, he faces the crowd and ....he jumps off and ....MOONSAULTS.....and lands on Mystic!!! First a chokeslam and then a moonsault, thats pretty allround stuff there!! Marco now goes for the cover again, 1.......................................2.....................................but somehow Mystic manages to kick out of this one. But it looks like Marco doesn't really mind, coz well now he can show more of his skills to the EWCL audience. Thats probly what his intention is right here.

ND: Marco picks up Mystic and throws a couple of punches before he sends him into the ropes again. Mystic comes off and he ducks Marco's arm and goes into the opposite ropes. Mystic comes off and he wants to do his CYNERGY BLAST, but Marco saw it coming and he grabbed Mystic's foot!!! But Mystic counters with an enziguiri which takes Marco to the mat!!! Mystic hops up again and he picks Marco up and now its his turn to send him into the ropes. Marco goes into the ropes and Mystic goes for his CYNERGY BLAST again, but this time Marco ducks it!!

JP: He goes into the opposite ropes and he comes off with a flying shouldertackle that takes Mystic to the mat. Marco follows that up with kicking Mystic to the head a few times. He then lifts Mystic up and he executes a piledriver on him!!! Marco then goes over to the corner again. Again he goes all the way to the toprope. He looks down at Mystic and he dives off and..........DIVING HEADBUTT!!!.......Wow diving headbutt on Mystic!!!

ND: That definately made an impact there! Marco goes for the cover now, and he could get the win right now, 1......................................2.........................but nooo I don't know how he did it, but Mystic kicked out of this one here. This time there even is a little bit of frustration in Marco, he probly didn't expect Mystic to kick out of that one there. Marco then focusses back on the wrestling and he picks up Mystic, but oooh Mystic with a rake to the eye. Marco can't see anything there for a moment and Mystic grabs Marco and he irish whips him into the ropes.

JP: Marco opens his eyes again and he comes off the ropes and Mystic wants to backdrop him, but Marco reads the move in time and he reverses and lifts Mystic up and .....HELLBOUND 2!!!!..........A jacknife Powerbomb into a Sharpshooter!!!! ......And Mystic is tapping out here now!!!! Oh yeah he tapped out and this is the first win for Marco in the EWCL. Now thats the way to make your debut!!

Carty: I am here with EWCL Internet champion Chris Christ. Chris, you're in a tag team match tonight against Exile and Drake Laps. How do you intend to go about it?

Christ: There are two things I aim to achieve tonight Bill. Number one is to take back what is rightfully mine and that is the REAL Internet title belt. Wether I have to prize it from Laps' dead cold hands then so be it. Number two is to take Drake Laps out. I want him on the brink of death at the end of tonight Bill. I am ready to go to any lengths to do it too.

Carty: What about Exile?

Christ: I have no tiff with Exile. The guy annoys me everytime he speaks but that is because he is an ass clown. No Exile is Corviks tonight, not mine. If need be I will cripple him.

Carty: You have a match with Drake Laps at the pay per view. You said you may ask for a stipulation to be added. Any news on that?

Christ: Carty, by the time Family Values rolls around Drake Laps will be following in the footsteps of the commisioner. He will be in sweet sweet comatose. And when he wakes up he will no longer be 'The High Flying Miracle' but will be known as 'The Slow Wheeling Vegetable'!

Carty: What about...

Christ: Thats enough Carty. I got a match to prepare for!

(Christ walks off as Carty is stumped as what to do next)

JP: Did you hear that Neil? Christ wants Laps dead!!

ND: It's the Christ way John. Sweet Dreams Drake, Sweet Dreams HA HA!

JP: You're sick! We will be right back after this!

(Commercials).

JP: We're back again and ....

ND: Did you see that great interview with Chris Christ?!?

JP: Uhh...yeah I did. What about it?

ND: Ain't he great in interviews?

JP: You mean Bill? Well he's a reporter, he gets paid to do interviews.

ND: Nooooo, I mean Chris Christ. The man is great with words.

JP: Yeah sure whatever, its time for our next match. Its Eleven....

ND: Who by the way is not Eleven but 16.....ooooh 16 what an age....

JP: NEIL!!!! Are you gonna say that stuff everytime we have Eleven on the show?

ND: What stuff?

JP: That he's only 16 and ....

ND: Ooooh 16, what an age .......

JP: NEIL!!!!!! STOP IT!!

ND: .....

JP: Eleven has to fight Marcus Babylon. Apparently Marcus Babylon crowned himself the new Prime Time Champion.

ND: Didn't you hear that rumour. The rumour that Marcus Babylon is Cazzo's cousin.

JP: Yes I did hear about that and in fact I think its not a rumour, but its the truth.

ND: Thats what I heard aswell.

JP: Probly more about that on a later time. Now its time for this match.

(Enter Sandman starts to play and Eleven comes running out. He runs to the ring and he slides in and waits for his opponent).

(Then Cocky by Kid Rock starts to play and "The Main Event" Marcus Babylon comes out from behind the curtains. He got the Prime Time Title around his waist and he is joined by his lovely Justine. The audience starts to booo them right from the start. Marcus Babylon puts his hand to his ear again, but he only generates more heat. Babylon and Justine then make their way to ringside. They reach the ring and Babylone enters it while Justine stays on the outside).

JP: At least Babylon ain't announcing today. I rather see him in the ring than that he's sitting next to me.

ND: Well Justine can sit next to me or on me anytime John. She's one hot looking babe.

JP: Neil, take it easy will you. You don't want to get into more trouble don't you?

ND: Trouble? Me? ....Never.

Ding ding ding

JP: The bell has rung and Babylon and Eleven lock up. Its Babylone who waistlocks Eleven, but Eleven reverses the waistlock. However Babylon counters with an elbow to the head and Eleven lets go off the waistlock. Babylon then kicks Eleven into the midsection and he sends him into the ropes. Eleven comes off and Babylon does a tilt-o-whirl takedown. Babylone follows that up with picking Eleven up from the mat and he sets him up for a forward suplex and executes it!!

ND: Babylon runs towards the nearest corner and he jumps on the toprope, uses it as a springboard and does a corkscrew moonsault and lands on Eleven!!! Wow, way to go Marcus!!! And way to go Justine. Did you see that thing she's wearing. Bend over baby!!! Bend over!!!

JP: NEIL!!!!! You sexist!!

ND: Oooh I didn't mean it like that John. I meant that she should bend over so that I got a better look at her behind.

JP: Like I said, you are a sexist!!

ND: Yeah well sue me!!

JP: There are plenty of people who will Neil.

ND: ....

JP: Now where were we?

ND: We were discussing Justine's ass.

JP: NOOOOO NEIL!!!! There's a match going on the ring, will you please concentrate on that?!?

ND: Sorry.

JP: Babylon is delivering shots to Eleven's head right now. He now throws Eleven into one of the four corner. Babylon walks in after and he climbs on the bottom rope and he starts to ramm his fist into Elevens forehead. 1....2.....3......4.......5........6........7.........8.............9...............10... Babylon then steps down to the mat again and he grabs Eleven by the arm and he sends him into the opposite corner. Eleven flies in hard backfirst and Babylon follows in hot pursuit and .....RISING STAR.....(Whisper in the wind).

ND: That Babylone sure knows what to do in the ring. No wonder he's the Prime Time Champion.

JP: He just took that title or the title got handed over to him by his cousin. I still don't think he earned that title.

ND: Babylon now picks Eleven up and he bodyslamms him back to the mat again. Babylon then bounces himself into the ropes and he comes off and .ROLLING THUNDER....and lands on top off Eleven!!! Babylon goes for the cover, 1......................................2........................but Eleven puts a foot on the ropes and the referee stops the count. Babylon looks to Justine for a moment and he then hops to his feet and he picks Eleven up and he sends him in the ropes again.

JP: Eleven comes off and Babylon does a spinning heelkick that takes Eleven straight down to the mat again!!! Man, I have to admit that Babylon sure is in control in this match. He now picks up Eleven, but Eleven counters with a shot to the midsection. He then grabs Babylon and sends him into the ropes, Babylon comes off and Eleven backdrops him to the mat. Eleven then bounces in the ropes and comes off and does summersault and lands backfirst on Babylon!!!

ND: Eleven then goes over to the corner and climbs the toprope. He stands on top and he then jumps off for a frogsplash, but ooooooooooohhhh Babylon lifts his knees up in time and Eleven flies straight into those knees!!! Eleven crawls over to the ropes, while Babylon is slowly getting back to his feet again. He is back up and he goes over to Eleven and picks him up and throws a couple of right ones to the head. He then slaps Eleven in the face and follows that up with a standing hurricanrana!!!

JP: Babylon turns that hurricanrana straight into a pin and he goes for the win, 1......................................2................................but this time Eleven kicks out of it. Babylon gets back to his feet and he picks up Eleven and comes in with a chop to the chest. He then sends him into the ropes and when he comes off he dropkicks Eleven back to the mat again!!! Marcus Babylon then grabs Eleven and .....TOWER OF BABYLON!!!!.....He got Eleven in a gangsta stretch and Eleven is screaming it out from the pain. And Eleven kicks out right away!!!! This is over!!

ND: Babylon has defended his title succesfully!!

JP: He's NOT THE CHAMPION NEIL!!!

ND: Yes, he is. He got the title around his waist doesn't he?

JP: So that means that Drake Laps is the Internet Champion and not Chris Christ?

ND: Uhhh.....nooooo...... you are twisting my words right now. Thats not what I said!!

JP: Yeah yeah whatever.

(In the ring we see that Marcus Babylon raises his arms in the air. Justine then climbs in the ring and she hands him over the Prime Time Title. Babylon raises the title in the air and the crowd gives him more booos. But then from out of the crowd its G-Flem who comes out. He climbs over the guardrail and he is carrying Punisher's silver ball bat. G-Flem slides in the ring and he comes from behind Babylone and he smashes the silver ball bat into Babylon's head!! And Babylon goes down to the mat. Justine is trying to protect her man, but G-Flem gently pushes her away. G-Flem then swings one more time and nails Babylon in the head for the second time with that silver ball bat).

JP: Oh my God!! G-Flem sure hung out alot with The Punisher. He got Punisher's silver ball-bat and he changed to Punishers ways of attacking other wrestlers.

ND: This is gonna be intresting John. Babylon is the Prime Time Champion and G-Flem has already earned himself the last entry in the Battle Royal next week. Thats gonna be real intresting.

(Commercials).

JP: Yep, its the last Venom.

ND: How many time are you gonna say that John?

JP: I don't know and frankly I don't care Neil. There won't be another Venom after this one.

ND: Keep it together man.

JP: Easy for you to say.

ND: So whats scheduled next?

JP: Let me see, next up is hmmmm.......a surprise guest.

ND: Now I wonder who that might be.

(At that moment the lights go out and Finger Eleven starts to play. The lights come on again and the fans look up to the ramp as they want to find out who this surprise guest is. Then there he is, he comes out from behind the curtains and stands on top of the ramp. The true hardcore EWCL fan recognises him. The crowd recognises him and they start to go wild. The camera zooms in on the man as he makes his way to the ring. He is the founder of the EWCL, the initiator of the federation. He's the one who started all of this and he's also the current owner of the SEI. HE IS.......WILL FLETCHER.......).

JP: The rumours were right!! Its Fletch, oh my Godddd, that we actually see him out here!! I can't believe it!!! What has it been, a year, a year and a half since we last saw him in the EWCL? Oh my God, its Fletch!!

ND: Its the Fletchman, its the Fletchmeister, its Fletcherooni!!!

JP: Its just Fletch, Neil.

ND: Oh.

(Will Fletcher continues his walk to the ring while the crowd is still going nuts. He uses the ringsteps to enter the ring. Once he is in the ring he shakes hands with ring announer Jay Blue and Jay hands a microphone over to him).

Will Fletcher: E....W.....C......L.....

(The crowd cheers).

Will Fletcher: Extreme ...Wrestling....Championship.....League......

(Again the crowd cheers wildly).

Will Fletcher: The month was September, the year was 2000. That was the start of the EWCL. Wrestlers like Psycho, Super Trouper, Kid Krash, Fatu, Fluid, Mauler, Eddie Osbourne and Sparhawk. That was the first wave of the EWCL. Then the second wave came. People like Saphio, The Punisher, Fazzer and Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt joined the EWCL.

(The fans cheer for every name except for when they hear Cazzo's name.) Will Fletcher: Those were the good old days of the EWCL. We still had an Extreme Title, we had the first ever Christmas In Hell with a six men Hell in a Cell match. We had boiling water and flaming tables matches. That was the EWCL. But like many probly know it was time for me to step aside. Due to my health I had to quit my job as the President and I found someone to take over my tasks. That someone was Andrew Barrow. Andrew Barrow took over the EWCL and he ran it for a few weeks. But Barrow didn't last for long and he passed the torch to Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt. A rookie who only had several months of wrestling experience. Alot of people thought this was a mistake and that this was gonna be the end of the EWCL. But they were wrong.

Will Fletcher: Eric van Zandt showed to everyone that he knew how to run a wrestling federation. At first there were some problems, but the more experience he got, the better the EWCL became. He signed topwrestlers and ratings went through the roof. And the weekly Venoms and the monthly PPV's were a big success. Everything was going good, but then it happend. Then something happens what always happens in this kind of business. The money factor. The EWCL got into financial trouble and the end result of it all is tonight. Tonight, the very last Venom. I felt sad when I heard about the financial problems of the EWCL. I really felt bad for Cazzo that his EWCL was going bankrupt. But that feeling changed totally after I found out why exactly the EWCL was going bankrupt. It was all coz of one man, coz of one little egomaniac. It was all coz of Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt himself!!! That irresponsible bastard decided that it was time to get some profit out of it all. He used the situation of financial problems for his own sake and look where it all lead to. It all lead to this. The last Venom. Venom an event I created, an event I always watched, even when I wasn't part of the EWCL anymore. Venom, an event that I LOVE!!!

(The crowd cheers again).

Will Fletcher: All I have left to say is that Venom and the EWCL will live forever. It will live forever in my heart and in your hearts. And don't ever forget that!!!!

(Will Fletcher hands the mic back to Jay Blue and the two hug for a moment. Will Fletcher then waves to the crowd that gives him an immense respons!! Will Fletcher then wipes a tear out of his eye and he then climbs out of the ring and walks out of ringside).

JP: That was breathtaking Neil. I have no words for this.

ND: What a man.

JP: I think its best to go to commercials right now. So everyone can realise what just happend here.

(Commercials).

JP: Ok, we are back again. After that emotional speech by Will Fletcher, it is time for a tagmatch. And its even a match for the tagtitles. Prez Cazzo was so good to put the tagtitles on the line here. Like he said himself, its not that it really matters as the EWCL is coming to an end anyway.

ND: But a title is a title John.

JP: You are right about that and I think all four men want those tagtitles. Over the last weeks G-Flem had to deal with both RPG and Xavier. He defeated both of them in singles matches and he actually also defeated The Punisher in a singles match. Now G-Flem and Punisher will work together and face RPG and Xavier.

(American Made starts to play and The Punisher and G-Flem come out together. They appear on the ramp and the crowd starts to cheer them on. The two big guys start their way to the ring and once they reached it they slide in and wait for their opponents).

(Then Bulls on Parade starts to play and Xavier and RPG come out from behind the curtains. The two immediately start their walk to ringside while the crowd boos them. The two enter the ring and they stare at their opponents).

Ding ding ding

JP: The referee just explained the rules and again made sure that everyone knows whats at stake in this match up. We then see that it are G-Flem and RPG who are gonna start off here. Punisher and Xavier go to their own corner. G-Flem and RPG circle eachother for a couple of seconds and then they tie up. RPG gets G-Flem in a side headlock and the two go into the ropes. RPG lets go off G-Flems head and he goes into the opposite ropes. G-Flem comes off and RPG does a shouldertackle but G-Flem more or less blocks it.

ND: RPG grabs G-Flem by the arm and sends him into the ropes again. G-Flem comes off and RPG goes for another shouldertackle, but for the second time G-Flem blocks it and just stands still in front of RPG now. RPG looks up to the big guy and then turns around and wants to walk over to his corner to tag in Xavier. But G-Flem grabs a hold of him before he can reach the corner. He grabs RPG and he irish whips him into the ropes. RPG comes off and G-Flem takes him down with a power clothesline.

JP: G-Flem picks RPG up and he lifts him up and executes a stalling suplex!!! G-Flem then picks RPG up again from the mat and hands out a couple of shots to the head. He then drags RPG over to his corner and he tags in The Punisher. Punisher gets in and he and G-Flem irish whip RPG into the ropes. RPG comes off and Punisher and G-Flem do a DOUBLE FLYING SHOULDERTACKLE that takes him to the mat. Ooooh man did you see that. When those two big guys do a double flying shouldertackle they take everything down.

ND: Impressive allright, but now its Punisher who picks up RPG and he hands out a right one. He then sends him into the ropes and when RPG comes off he powerslams him back to the mat. The Punisher then goes for the cover, 1....................................2...............but its Xavier who comes in and he breaks the count by kicking Punisher to the back of the head. The referee makes Xavier go back to his corner now, but The Punisher already got back to his feet and he goes over to Xavier and grabs him by the throat.

JP: Xavier is struggling to get out of that chokehold. But then its RPG who comes up from behind The Punisher and he ramms him to the back of the head with his fist. Punisher lets go off Xavier and turns around and is caught with a spear that takes him down!!! RPG lands on Punisher and starts to hand out several punches to the head. RPG then gets to his feet and he tags in his partner Xavier. Xavier comes in and he goes on where RPG stopped. He jumps on top off Punisher and starts a series of fists to the head.

ND: Xavier then gets to his feet again and he goes over to the nearest corner and climbs to the toprope. Xavier then jumps off but he was unaware of the fact that Punisher got back to his feet in the meantime. Xavier jumps off but Punisher catches him out of midair and grabs him in a bearhug hold!!!! Ooooh man!!! A bearhug, we haven't seen that in a while!!! It looks like Xavier can't get any air anymore, The Punisher is squeezing him that hard!! The ref lifts Xaviers left hand up and it falls down for the first time. The referee does this again and Xaviers arm falls down for the second time. He does it for a third time, but ooooh then its RPG who comes in and he kicks Punisher in the back.

JP: The Punisher has to let go and at the same moment its G-Flem who comes back into the ring. G-Flem runs over to RPG and takes him to the mat with one of his big power clotheslines. He then picks RPG up and ....SUPER TIGER DRIVER!!!!!....Good God!!! I doubt that RPG is gonna get up from that one!!! G-Flem now picks up RPG and he throws him over the toprope to the outside!!! G-Flem then turns over to his tagpartner and he sees that Punisher is hammering down on Xavier.

ND: G-Flem walks over to them and he and Punisher send Xavier into the ropes. Xavier comes off and OOOOOHHH they do a DOUBLE FLAPJACK and Xavier flies high into the air and lands facefirst into the mat!!! I believe I can fly!!! Crazy shit!!! G-Flem then goes back to his corner while The Punisher picks Xavier up again. The almost unconscious Xavier is doing everything to stay on his feet. The Punisher then lifts him up and ......THE GAVEL..... And I think this is over.

JP: Punisher with the Gavel on Xavier and he goes for the cover. 1.................................................2...........................................................3. And thats it!! We have new tagteam champions!!! The Punisher and G-Flem did it!!! G-Flem earned himself his first title in the EWCL. Its going real good for him the last weeks!! And together with The Punisher they might form an unstoppable team!!

(In his office, Cazzo sits amidst a veritable sea of boxes, each filled to the brim with paperwork and odds and ends of a lifetime in the business. These are the things he takes on the road with him, the things which he has now packed for the very last time. Cazzo leans back in his chair and surveys the scene with calm indifference. And then, unbidden, a smile comes to his lips. It is the smile of a man pushed too far… a man who has fought one too many battles, and now has lost all semblance of what it was he was ever fighting for. Now, all that is left is a shell of the man he once was, a man who built an empire and fought the hard fights: against the censors, against the wrestlers, and against the television networks. Now he is a man who shall have the last laugh. Beyond bitterness… beyond despair…

Beyond rich).

(A laugh breaks out that echoes through the small room. It rings long, and loud, and when it dies, it does so with the promise of more to come).

(A knock at the door breaks his reverie).

'Come.'

(The door opens, and Bo Lucas enters cautiously. His stern face reads disapproval, and yet… there is something else there. A spark?

Probably not).

'Go away Lucas. We're done, you and I.' Cazzo's heavy, sleep-deprived gaze drifts over Bo's calm exterior with contempt.

Bo shakes his head, 'Eric….'

'Mr. Van Zandt, Lucas… we're no longer on a first name basis, remember?'

Bo nods, biting off a retort. 'Alright… Mr. Van Zandt. I have some….'

'GET OUT!' Cazzo storms to his feet, climbing over the desk to grab the startled Bo Lucas by the collar of his expensive shirt, 'GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY OFFICE, GET OUT OF MY LIFE, GET OUT OF MY WORLD!' With tremendous force, Cazzo slaps Bo across the face, sending his former friend and confidant wheeling across the room.

(Bo's eyes flicker for a moment, as though saying goodbye to a friend for the very last time. Cazzo stands panting, fist raised, eyes flaring. Bo wipes a fleck of blood from his lip and stares down at the dripping red liquid upon his thumb).

(And then he leaves).

(The camera pulls back from Cazzo, standing there, alone. Pulling out wide and high, the scene fades to black).

JP: Whats that all about?

ND: Beats me John. Even I don't know the inside scoop of that.

JP: So then this is it. Time for the last match. Last match ever on Venom.

ND: I know John, and by now it also is starting to get to me. Its gonna be so weird.

JP: Tell me about it.

ND: Luckily the last match is gonna be a great match. We have four of the topwrestlers in it. On one side we have Universal Champion Sean Corvik and Internet Champion Chris Christ and on the other side we have Commissioner Exile and Drake Laps.

JP: Yet another clash between Corvik and Exile. I lost count on how many times to faced eachother. And next week we will see them in the EWCL for the very last time at Family Values in a Dungeon Match. Now its a normal tagmatch.

(Born of a broken man starts to play and Commissioner Exile and Drake Laps come out. The two get a huge pop from the crowd and they look at eachother for a moment and they then start their walk to ringside. On the way to the ring Laps shakes hands with some of the fans. They then reach ringside and Drake Laps hands the Internet Title that he stole from Chris Christ over to ring announcer Jay Blue. The two then get into the ring and wait for Corvik and Christ).

(Then Died by Alice in Chains starts to play and the lights go off for a moment. When they come on again we see Kritical Kondition Sean Corvik standing on the top of the ramp. The crowd boos him, but he doesn't seem to even notice it. He starts to make his way down the ramp to ringside. He finally reaches the ring and he uses the ringsteps to enter the ring).

(Seconds later My Sacrifice by Creed starts to play and Internet Champion Chris Christ comes out. He appears on the ramp and the crowd starts to boo again. Christ raises his arms in the air and runs to the ring. He reaches ringside and slides in and joins Corvik in their corner).

Ding ding ding

JP: The bell has rung and its Drake Laps who is gonna start off. But its not sure yet against who as Corvik and Christ seem to be in a little argument. Well you got two big ego's over there, especially Chris Christ got a big one. I think this building is just big enough for his ego.

ND: Hey, hey, take it easy!!

JP: Now it looks like Christ is saying that its better that he starts off and he gestures that Corvik should wait on the outside till its his turn. Corvik grins and shakes his head and then climbs through the ropes and stands on the apron. Finally the match can begin. Drake Laps and Chris Christ are gonna start this thing off. They circle eachother for about 6 seconds and then they tie up. Its Christ with a knee to the gut and he follows that up with sending Laps into the ropes. Laps comes off and Christ lifts his knee up and Laps flies into it!!

ND: Christ then grabs Laps by the head and he drags him over to a neutral corner and he starts to ramm Laps his head into the topturnbuckle. 1....2....3....4....5....6.....7.....8.....9......10..... Christ then shouts out "OOOOH YEAHHHHH" and he then drags Laps out of that corner and throws him to the mat!! Christ then picks Laps up and hands out a couple of right and left shots to the head. He then irish whips Laps into the ropes. Laps comes off, but oooh he slides through the Christ's legs and gets to his feet and ...SUPERKICKS Christ in the face and The Messiah Goes down!!!

JP: Laps then tags in his partner and Exile comes in and starts to work on Christ from the start. He lifts Christ up and executes an atomic drop. Christ bounces into the ropes and when he comes off Exile grabs him and executes a german suplex!!! Exile then with the first cover of the match, but Christ kicks out right away. Exile picks Christ up by his long blond hair, but its Christ with a lowblow and Exile goes down to one knee. Christ picks Exile up and he sends him into the ropes and when he comes off he does an overhead belly to belly suplex!!

ND: Christ then goes over to his corner and he tags in Sean Corvik. Corvik comes in and he picks Exile up from the mat and the first thing he does is kick him in the midsection. He then lifts Exile up and .....SEDATION!!!!...... The Master of the Moves is on a role!!! Corvik is not wasting any time and he puts his boot to Exile's throat and starts to choke him like that. After five seconds the ref makes Corvik stop and Corvik isn't all too happy about it but he lets go. The Universal Champion then picks Exile up and he sends him in the ropes.

JP: Exile comes off and he ducks Corviks arm, bounces into the opposite ropes and comes off and takes Corvik to the mat with a flying forearm. Exile then rolls over to his own corner and tags in Drake Laps. Laps comes in and he and Exile pick Corvik up and they send him into the ropes. Corvik comes off and Exile does a drop toe hold and Corvik falls face first to the mat. At the same moment its Laps who runs towards the ropes, uses the second rope as a springboard and he does a moonsault and lands on Corvik!!!! Great move there!!!

ND: Laps then turns Corvik around and goes for the cover, 1....................................2...............................but Corvik kicks out. We see that Exile goes back to his corner and Laps picks up Corvik and hands out a couple of fists. He then irish whips Corvik, but this time Corvik reverses the whip and Laps goes into the ropes near Chris Christ. But oooooooooh yeahhhh, just when Laps flies into the ropes, its Christ who pulls down the ropes and Laps flies over the toprope to the outside!!! Great tactics there!!

JP: Tactics? Thats just a cheap shot!!

ND: Call it tactics, call it a cheap shot. Chris Christ just rules.

JP: Laps is laying on the outside and I don't think that did any good to his back and spine. We heard that he went to see Dr. Lebinski the other day and that his spine isn't looking 100%. Anyway, Laps is knocked out and we see that Christ climbed off the apron and he now goes over to Laps and he picks him up and drags him over to the apron and ramms his head into it!! BAMMMM!!!!.... Just when Christ wants to ramm Laps his head into the apron for a second time, its Exile who comes in from behind and he knocks Christ down to the concrete!!

ND: In the ring we then see that Corvik bounces into the ropes and he comes off and .....BASEBALL SLIDE....and he hits Exile straight in the face with that move!! Exile goes down and Corvik rolls himself to the outside and he starts to work on Exile. He picks him up and drags him over to the guardrail. He first ramms Exiles head into the guardrail for 3 times and he then places Exile backfirst against the guardrail. Corvik then takes a few steps back and he then charges in and clotheslines Exile over the toprope into the crowd!!

JP: We also see that Laps is getting back to his feet again. He picks up Christ from the ground and he irish whips him into the steel ringsteps. Chris Christ flies in backfirst and Laps doesn't hesitate and jumps on the apron and uses it as a springboard and then does a missile dropkick and hits Christ straight in the face!! Holy Shit!!! Now that The Highflying Miracle. Laps now is slowly getting back to his feet again and he now picks up Christ from the concrete and he rolls him back in the ring again. And he gets in aswell.

ND: Meanwhile Corvik climbed over the guardrail into the crowd and he picks up Exile and he places him backfirst against the guardrail again. Corvik takes a couple of steps back again and rushes in once more, but oooooh this time Exile reverses and he backdrops Corvik over the guardrail back to ringside. Exile climbs on top off the guardrail and he jumps off and does a double axehandle to take Corvik down again. Exile grabs Corvik by the head and rolls him back in the ring again.

JP: So the legal men are back in the ring again. We have Laps and Corvik. Christ is back in his corner and Exile is also heading back to his own one. In the ring Laps picks up Corvik and he goes for his Last Lap, but Corvik counters with pushing Laps off of him and he follows that up with kicking him in the gut and doing a hurricane DDT!!! Oooh man, that definately took Laps out!!! Corvik picks Laps up again and throws him into Exile's corner and therefore helping Laps with making the tag to Exile. Exile comes in and Exile and Corvik stare eachother down!!

ND: Exile and Corvik circle eachother for about 10 seconds and then they tie up again. Man, it looks like this match is only beginning. Corvik gets in the upperhand and he elbows Exile and he follows that up with sending him into the ropes. Exile comes off and ....INSANITY'S EMBRACE!!!!! He superkicks Exile and the Commissioner is layed out in the ring!!! Corvik goes for the cover now, 1.......................................................2..............but then Laps comes in and breaks the count.

JP: Christ also gets in the ring and he goes over to Laps and he grabs him by the head and throws him through the second and third rope to the outside!!! Laps flies to the outside and Christ climbs out of the ring aswell. He picks Laps up and hands out a couple of shots to the face. He then drags Laps over to the ringpost and ......BAMMMMMMM.....Ramms Laps his head into the steel ringpost!! ....BAMMMMMMMM.......BAMMMMMM...... Another two shots and Laps his face is busted open!!! Laps falls down to the concrete, but Christ is not stopping. He picks up Laps and he drags him over to the spanish announcetable and he lays him on top of it.

ND: Christ then looks under the ring and from under it he grabs a ladder!! Ooh whats he gonna do with that?!? Christ sets the ladder up in front of the spanish announce table. He got it set up and he starts to climb it all the way to the top. Chris Christ stands high in the air and ......FROG SPLASH OFF THE LADDER ON LAPS AND THEY GO THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!!! DID YOU SEE THAT!!! NOW THATS A HIGHFLYING MIRACLE!!!! And thats definately the end for Laps and his injured back. I doubt that he can make it next week if he's back is that badly hurt.

JP: You could be right about that one Neil. But for now let us concentrate on whats going on in the ring. Corvik picks up Exile after that Insanity's Embrace and he sends him into the ropes again. Exile comes off and Corvik goes for another INSANITY's EMBRACE, but this time Exile ducks it and he grabs Corvik and.....HE HOOKS IN THE DARKEST HOUR ON CORVIK!!!!... Wowwwww, can you believe that?!? Corvik is struggling now and is trying to reach for the ropes. And yes, he got them. Corvik got a hold of the ropes. Man that sure was close for him.

ND: Corvik is still holding on to the ropes. Exile comes in and he grabs Corvik by the head and drags him over to the middle of the ring. He then irish whips Corvik, but Corvik reverses the whip and when Exile comes off he lifts him up and ............OUTCAST!!!!!.......Exile's own finisher!!!! And Sean Corvik goes for the cover and. 1.....................................................2.......................................................3.............

JP: Its over Sean Corvik and Chris Christ won this tagmatch and you can definately say that they are going to Family Values as the favorites!!!! What a match for them!! And what a way for the very last Venom.

(The camera then zooms in on Corvik and Chris Christ. Corvik raises his Universal Title into the air, while Christ went over to Jay Blue's table and he grabbed his Internet Title. He finally got the title in his possesion. He slides in the ring and puts the title around his waist and smiles).

(The camera shifts to John and Neil at the announcers' desk for the last time).

JP: Well… that's it folks. What an incredible night, and what a tremendous way to say goodbye to our television audience! We may have put on better shows, but I'm not sure anyone's heart was ever in it more….

ND: I can't believe this is it!

JP: I'm not sure it's sunk in yet for me either Neil. I guess that when I'm in bed at eight o' clock with my lovely wife in two weeks time instead of being here with all of you in the EWCL… then, I guess, it'll feel real.

ND: Ah… John? Can I come over for dinner Sunday week? I kind of have the night free….

(John smiles at his friend, momentarily overcome with emotion).

JP: Neil… you and I haven't seen eye to eye on a lot of things over the years…

ND: Year John….

JP: But I have to say it's been an honour to broadcast by your side… and you're welcome to dinner at my place any time you like.

ND: Will your wife make those waffles with the cinnamon and strawberry gunk?

JP: I dare say she will….

ND: Will your daughter be there…?

JP: NEIL! You know, just when I think….

(John glares at Neil, who shrugs helplessly).

ND: Hey, I'll see you next week. It isn't like this is really our final goodbye! I'll be sentimental then… well, except for the thing with your daughter. She's a hottie John, I don't know how she could possibly be yours…!

JP: You're disgusting! Ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time. Thank you all for your patronage of this fine Sports Entertainment organization, and I hope that you'll all join us for our Swan Song next Sunday night on Pay-Per-View…. This is John Pilchard and Neil Down saying good….

(The EWCL theme roars to life, cutting John off mid-goodbye. The stage lights up).

JP: What… what's going on?

(Bo Lucas steps out onto the top of the ramp and walks slowly down towards the ring to the tumultuous cheers of the fans. The night's events, along with their undying hope for a death knell save brings them to their feet as the EWCL's financial advisor walks the ramp, climbs the stairs and enters the ring, calling for a microphone).

'If I can have all of your attentions for a moment… I have an announcement to make.' The fans explode, and Bo's tongue licks a speck of dried blood from his split lip. 'I tried to tell you earlier Eric, but you wouldn't listen…. I didn't want to do this out in public… to humiliate you this way, but you forced my hand! YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN!' Bo takes a moment to steady himself as the fans boo Cazzo's actions.

'I received a call after last week's Venom. Certain parties were interested in buying the EWCL, lock, stock and smoking barrel. It turned out that these parties had been interested in making a purchase of this company for some time, but had been waiting for the moment. Call it corporate raiding if you will, but these parties made an offer Eric….'

Bo takes a few steps back, steeling himself. 'As financial advisor, you signed over to me the power to deal with this company in any way I chose in a situation of dire financial emergency, and… well Eric, I can't think of a greater emergency than you allowing this great company to fall into darkness. I can't imagine a greater tragedy than to never see the likes of Sean Corvik… of Exile… of Alexander Glory… of Chris Christ… The Punisher… to never see any of them ever again lace up their boots and go at it in an EWCL ring! To see the legacies built in this company burn while you sit and watch… that's a crime! I've spoken with the lawyers Eric, and they cleared it all. It's all legitimate.'

'I won't see you let this company die.'

('Damned if I Do' by Life of Agony blares to life as Cazzo comes storming from the back. His eyes twitch madly as he charges to the ring and climbs the stairs. Bo takes a few steps back, lowering the microphone from his lips. Cazzo climbs through the ropes and rushes over to the side, calling for a mic before grabbing Bo by the collar once more).

A chant rings out… 'Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole… Asshole… Asshole…Asshole!'

Cazzo barks into the microphone, 'What are you talking about?! What have you done?! ANSWER ME!'

Bo shoves Cazzo away from him, 'What are you going to do Eric?! Hit me again?! Go ahead! It doesn't change a thing!'

Cazzo jabs a finger at Bo, 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU BASTARD?!'

(Bo speaks simply, but powerfully).

'I've sold the EWCL.' (The crowd is silent a moment… Cazzo stares at Bo with absolute amazement… and terror. He draws the microphone to his lips slowly as the fans explode into cheering).

'You… what?' Cazzo takes a step forward.

'I've sold the EWCL Eric. All of it….'

(Cazzo begins to shake, rage building up within him, threatening to detonate. Bo interrupts the process).

'Next week… next week was to see the end of the EWCL with the Family Values Pay-Per-View. I've been instructed to inform you all that, as of tonight, next Sunday's Pay-Per-View will now be called 'Deliverance'… and it will NOT see the end of the EWCL.'

(Cazzo stares, stunned, but Bo raises a hand).

'It's not all bad for you Eric. I know this is your company… I know you built the EWCL into the force it is today. Hell, in many ways, you are the EWCL. You're its face… and the new owners know that. I made a deal Eric… you will have tenure. You're President until you retire the position. They can't fire you. It's my final job for you… my last favour; for all that you've ever done for me…. But now we're through… you and I. Our partnership… our friendship… it's over, and I hope you rot in Hell.'

'I quit.'

Cazzo grabs Bo before he can leave the ring, 'You son-of-a-bitch! You call this a favour?! YOU SOLD MY GODDAMN COMPANY?! Who… you tell me who… WHO?! You're lying… YOU HAVE TO BE! THIS IS ALL SOME PLAN TO ROB ME OF MY DIGNITY BEFORE THIS COMPANY GOES UNDER! YOU LIAR!'

Bo smiles slightly, 'You don't need any help from me Eric, you've done a fine job all on your own. And I'll leave the details of the sale to be divulged by the new CEO of the EWCL, a man the conglomerate hand picked to lead this company into the future…. You'll meet him at Deliverance.'

'YOU LYING SON-OF-A-BITCH! IF YOU'RE NOT LYING, THEN TELL ME WHO?!' Cazzo shakes Bo roughly. Bo rips himself free and climbs out of the ring, eyes locked upon the enraged President of the EWCL.

'I won't tell you who Eric… I don't want to be the one, and frankly I've been instructed not to….'

Cazzo laughs triumphantly, 'You can't tell me because it's a LIE!'

Bo smiles as he heads up the ramp, 'However… I will leave you with a parting preview of your future Eric… and it looks real bright.'

(A guitar riff booms through the arena, accompanied by the tempestuous pace of a frantic drumbeat. The frenzied tempo builds as a bell chimes in the depths of the piece. Four times it chimes before the vocals explode, followed only mere moments later by the crowd).

(The fans erupt as Bo walks up the ramp to the thundering beat of Kid Rock's anthem. CEO flashes across the Cazzotron, like a road sign on the Highway to Hell for Eric Van Zandt. Cazzo quivers in rage… the microphone falls almost in slow motion from his hand. Bo reaches the top of the ramp and turns to face Eric. The two stare at each other for several moments before Bo raises both arms towards the ceiling and extends his two index fingers. And as he does, four words replace the flashing CEO upon the Cazzotron… four words which brand themselves into Cazzo's brain hotter than any iron could).

JP: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I THOUGHT WE'D NEVER SEE THAT MAN ON EWCL TELEVISION EVER AGAIN!!!

ND: Don't jump to conclusions John! This could all be… could all be one big farce to punish Cazzo for what he did to Bo! It's not implausible! I'll bet this isn't real at all! This isn't the first time we've thought Rick O'Connor was coming back!

JP: Maybe you're right… Dear God, I'm not even sure if I hope you are or not! Out of the frying pan and into the fire? I just don't know!

ND: Caught between the devil…

JP: …And the deep… blue… sea.

Bo steps through the curtain and is gone. Cazzo stumbles back, only to fall to the mat. He crawls back onto his knees, tearing madly at his hair, screaming at the top of his lungs, 'LIAR! LIAR!!!'

JP: Next week… Deliverance.

ND: Deliverance? I wonder….

JP: Join us in one week's time on Pay-Per-View to either see the curtain fall for the last time on the EWCL… or usher in a new era for this great company! One week… and I guarantee you… you just can't miss this one!
