LITHIUM "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor hits as Rob Matthews appears out of smoke on the entrance way. He has a huge grin on his face as he paces back and forth. He raises the microphone to his mouth as he begins to speak. Matthews: I know what you're thinking..."Rob Matthews...another federation...a new name? Can this possibly live up to the hype? Can this possibly live up to the Legacy that LWE had paved for itself? Well, if you know anything about Rob Matthews...you know that I always go bigger and better than the former. I always go "one up" on the competition. And now, I'm going to "one up" myself and everything that LWE had stood for. From this point forward, the letters LWE will not be mentioned in my presence. From this point forward, it is ALL about NIRVANA. So, let's start the show! [SCARECROW versus GREG EVANS] "American Bad Ass" by Kid Rock blasts as "The American Icon" makes his way to the ring. The fans cheer him as he slides into the ring and raises his arms above his head. He is greatly appreciated by this crowd and he knows it. A big smile graces the face of Evans as he awaits his fate. The word FEAR graces the Nirvanatron as ominous music begins to play. A single light follows The Scarecrow as he makes his way to ringside. The arena is silent during this event. The people are legitimately not sure what to think of this character. Is he man? Is he bird? Or is he some sort of horrific hybrid? The match is underway with a takedown on Scarecrow. The Crow shakes it off and sits right back up. Greg Evans is looking around. Did Scarecrow just get up after Greg used one of his best moves? Obviously, Greg is shocked. In his apparent psychosis, Scarecrow capitalizes with a sidewalk slam! This knocks Greg Evans down. Greg, who is older than Crow, is probably feeling the effects of that one. I mean, we all know that this business wears you down at a young age. For Greg to still be wrestling in his late 30's, early 40's is a throwback to the old days of this business. Choke slam by Scarecrow to Evans. Crow walks over to the ropes and taunts the crowd. They are booing him and he is soaking in all of the hate. He was taking too long though! Greg scores with a dropkick that sends Scarecrow up and over the top rope! Scarecrow is on the outside! A fan goes and slaps the back of Scarecrow. The Crow spins around and hits a discuss punch on the young man. The man is down as Scarecrow slides back into the ring. The crowd boos. The boos turn quickly to cheers as Greg Evans hits a swift DDT. After a kip up, Greg Evans is showing why he is a true "American Icon". Out of nowhere, Greg decides to put Scarecrows head rather close to his genitals...he sets him up for...the American Eagle!!! That Razor's Edge type move just knocked out the creepy little Scarecrow. 1...2...3 WINNER: Greg Evans Greg Evans grabs a microphone. He looks straight into the camera and screams "Deportation #1...BITCH!...God Bless America!" That was one of the greatest opening contests that we have witnessed! For a match that quality to be the first match ever in the history of NIRVANA Wrestling, that is an omen for things to come! We cut to the backstage area to see a group of young fans. They are screaming and calling for their favorite NIRVANA superstars. Out of a nearby limo, Beau Dodge steps out of the door. He looks at the many youngsters with their NIRVANA trading cards. One screams for Dodge to come over and sign his card. Beau looks over and begins to walk. "Mr. Dodge" says the child innocently. "Can you please sign my new edition series 1 NIRVANA wrestling action card?" Beau Dodge takes the card from the Childs hand. He stares at it. He places it on the floor and stomps on it. "Listen Kid" Beau says. "No trading card can actually capture the beautiful physique that I posses. No figure or collectable bobblehead doll can mimic the Prince of Perfection. What you ought to do is get your mother to touch my chest. Or maybe...my "Rack of Perfection" Then...and only then...will I sign your card!" "But...my mom is dead" the child begins to cry. "Well then, no card for you!" he says as he rips it up. The rest of the crowd boos Beau as he arrogantly walks away. [DRINKIN versus TITO CAPACI] Tito Capaci is waiting in the ring. The referee approaches him and tells him that Drinkin did not show up for their match. At first, Capaci is angry. However, he doesn't really care. He picks up a win and is advanced up the ladder. Congratulations. WINNER: Tito Capaci We see Rob Matthews in his office. The door opens wide but we don't see who is by the door. Rob Matthews has a surprised look on his face. "Praise be to Allah!" Rob exclaims as his mouth falls open. "Rob, I'm here!" says Owen Masters. "Dude, I didn't know you were coming to NIRVANA!" rebuttals Rob. "What do you mean you didn't know I was coming? You sent me and Dougie an e-mail!" Rob looks stunned. "Why...yes...yes I did". Owen Masters looks determined. "I want a match" says Owen Masters. "Well, next week...you'll get one" answers Rob. "Great, who is my opponent?" says Owen Masters. Rob is shifting around in his seat. Finally, he yells... "EXPECT AN ANOTHER E-MAIL FROM ME LATE TONIGHT..." "Okay..." Owen Masters says quietly. He looks freaked out. "OR EARLY TOMORROW MORNING!" Owen Masters walks backwards out of the room and slams the door. He begins to cry as he notices a jar of peanut butter magically appear on his desk. He smiles. [CHESTER COBAN versus BEAU DODGE] This match starts off quick. This is surprising since both men are know for their "ground and pound" offense. Coban is striking with left hands as Beau is striking with rights. This match is turning into what we all thought it would be. Both men have a history dating back well over a year. What is this now? That is Tito Capaci coming down to ringside. He was just out here a few minutes ago. He was automatically declared the winner of his match when Drinkin no showed! Coban sees Capaci and turns his attention to him. Chester gets rolled up in a small cradle. 1...2...KICK OUT Capaci grabs a chair from under the ring. He turns and smacks Coban with it. Beau is pissed. He lost the match. No wait! Capaci smacks Beau with it. The ref has called this as a no contest! Winner: No Contest due to interference by Tito Capaci A video begins to play. There is music playing in the background. It is flashing red and black and has the words "The New Direction"..."COMING SOON!". What is this New Direction and when will it come to be? We see Tito Capaci in the background. He is speaking with someone. Then, he notices the camera. He walks over and looks into it. He begins to flick the lens. "Is this thing on?" asks Tito to the camera man. "Yeah, we were prepping an interview with Chester Coban" responds the camera man. "Well, fuck Uncle Fester Cuban. This is my show. Folks, I have done everything there has to be done in Rob Matthews federations. Except...win the World Heavyweight Championship. Now that I've come to mention it...no one has won the world title except for Matthews's little bitches Rich Morrison and Uncle Fester Cuban....and Beau Dodge...but he's a bitch so he doesn't count. Plus, I heard Rob scratched Beau's title win from the records just so nMa can return to greatness". Tito shrugs. "Listen, I don't care HOW we are deciding the World Title this time around. It can be 1 on 1 or 50 guys versus Tito match. I am going to win that belt and hold it over my head. Now, get out of my face!" [AUSTIN MCLANE versus ABE BENJAMINS] As Austin McLane looks around at this crowd, he is amazed. He puts his hand out to shake Abe's hand. Abe shakes Austin's hand...but then clotheslines him down! Abe begins to beat down on Austin McLane and Austin is defenseless. McLane is putting his hands up to his face. He is trying to block the physical assault that Benjamins is giving him. Abe then begins to kick him. The referee should stop this match. This isn't even a match, this is aggravated assault! The referee goes down to check on Austin. He is going to end this match. Just as the ref is about to call for the bell, Austin latches on to the referee's pants. He pulls himself up and pleads with the referee to not throw the match. Benjamins with a set of 10 or so quick right hands. Austin is dazed. Out of nowhere, McLane nails a low blow. The referee didn't see it but it was just what he needed. Both Austin and Abe go down. Obviously, McLane is hurt more. Abe Benjamins is getting up. He once again begins to kick Austin McLane in the gut. There is no stopping him. The ref has once again decided to call off this match. Austin tugs on the referee's trousers again. He calls for the ring announcer to give him the microphone. Austin McLane: Don't stop the match! Don't stop the match! I won't quit. There is no quit in Austin McLane! That is a line that would sound good on a T-Shirt. Abe shrugs and begins to whip Austin's ass. About 15 minutes into the match and McLane has gotten little to no offense in. Out of nowhere, Austin hits a rollup cradle! 1...2...KICK OUT! Abe Benjamins kicks out of the cradle. Austin grabs onto the top rope and pulls himself up. He kicks Abe in the gut and nails the TWIST OF FATE! 1...2...3! WINNER: Austin McLane! AUSTIN WINS!!! AUSTIN WINS!!! AUSTIN WINS!!! This is a changing day in the history of this business. In Austin McLane's first main event, he picks up a win against one of the top men in our business. He could have had the chance to quit but he didn't! After being brutalized, he came back out of nowhere and won it. Congratulations Austin McLane! He is a fine young man! "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor hits as Rob Matthews appears out of smoke on the entrance way. He has a huge grin on his face as he paces back and forth. He raises the microphone to his mouth as he begins to speak. Matthews: I heard a little while ago Tito Capaci talking about the world title situation. So, before I make my announcement...I would like all of the boys in the back to come to ringside! "Won't Back Down" by Fuel plays as the wrestlers come out to the ring. They look at Rob, who is wearing a Santa hat. Matthews: Santa Robbie has got a gift for all of you. I would like it if you were to sit on my lap and tell me what you want but...this show isn't long enough. So, I'll just give you what I think you all want. Greg Evans...come up to Santa Robbie. Also, I want Scarecrow here as well. Greg and Crow...you two are the future of this business. That's why I want you two to square off next week on Lithium for the NIRVANA Wrestling Television Championship. Just think, next week could be the start of your career. That match can either make...or break you. Austin looks stoked. He wants to win that gold and he knows he can do it. Matthews: Austin McLane and Owen Masters...I've got a plan for you two. As far as I see it...I want you two to tear each other apart next week. For the joy of our fans...I want you both to bleed. Owen, this is going to help bring more gold into your life. And Austin...I told you over a conference call a few days ago...you have the opportunity of a lifetime. That is why you two will be facing off in a first blood barbed wire match for the NEW "Hardcore Universal Championship". Coban looks at his suit. He dusts it off. Is Chester Coban scared of barbed wire? Tell me it isn't so! If that's true, than this world is soiled!!! Matthews: And as for Tito Capaci, Chester Coban Beau Dodge...since Tito likes to run his mouth off about how Beau was never a good champion...and how Tito thinks he can interfere in a perfectly stable match...you three will be fighting in a ladder match for the NIRVANA Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. Beau is excited and Tito is smoking a cigar. He smiles confidently. Out of nowhere, Austin McLane grabs the microphone. It looks as though he has got a plan. Austin: Whoa, whoa, whoa. No way. You see, that's not how it's going to be. You see, I'm leaving NIRVANA as of TONIGHT! Yeah, I said it. Please folks, I got a win over Abe Benjamins tonight. That is going to springboard my career into places it should have been. Speaking of places it should have been, I've got a bone to pick with...you. He points to Rob Matthews. Austin: This is for never giving me a shot in LWE. He begins to assault Rob Matthews! Oh my god! But wait, the NIRVANA Superstars aren't helping Rob. Even Chester Coban is leaving. He motions to the crowd and uses his fingers to signal for "BOW". I guess that is where Austin is going. What will happen next week? Austin is gone and the superstars will have hell to pay for not helping Rob. NEXT WEEK: -Issues Regarding the Hardcore Universal
