The scene opens high above the MCI Center in Washington D.C.. The sun has already set and the small city is lighting up the sky. We go into the arena, sold out and signs wherever you look. The fans are going crazy as fireworks begin to shoot off from the ringposts and entranceway as "Escape" by Metallica is blasting. We go to the announcers as the fireworks die down and the lights come up. The fans however continue to chant making hearing difficult for the viewers.

Marty Scott: Thanks for tuning into the Magee Network tonight because BEW fans everywhere it is time for Capitol Punishment! Big East Wrestling has invaded the nation's capitol in the past days and all roads have led here to our second Supercard! Tonight all titles are on the line!

Doug "Vampire Hunter" Torres: Don't forget guys, this will lead us into Night of Armageddon, an independent card that the BEW will be sponsering and airing as it's next pay per view. The MoA has been on a roll in the BEW and that's going to be some night!

Marty: Let's go to Craig in the ring.

Craig Conners: Coming to the ring at this time, weighing in at 258 lbs, standing six foot one inches tall, He is Sleeeeeeeeeeeeep Walkeeeeeeeeeeer!!!

"Up and Down" by the Vengaboys hits the P.A., and Sleep Walker walks out to a mixed audience reaction and rolls into the ring, waiting in the corner.

Craig Conners: And his opponent standing at six foot four and a half inches, from Los Angeles, California, He is the master of the double under hook pile driver, He is Rooooooooooougue!!!

" The Immortals" by Encounter the Ultimate hits the system and out comes Rougue, he gets a big pop as he too rolls into the ring.

Marty: And it's under way, Sleep Walker quickly to the canvas as Rougue delivers a high knee to his chops.

Elisha: And Rougue picks up Sleep Walker and sends him to the ropes, oh drop toe hold down, as he quickly applies an texas clover leaf, Sleep Walker quickly kicks out.

Doug: Now Sleep Walker and Rougue lock up, and Sleep Walker hits Rougue with a spinning neck breaker, Rougue falls to the mat.

Elisha: Sleep Walker scoops up Rougue, and attempts a back suplex, Rougue reverses hitting him with one of his own.

Doug: Now Rougue nails him in the brow with an elbow, and kips up to his feet, kicking him in the head, and in the throat.

The M.o.A comes to the ring, Life, E.W. , Attict, And they smack down Rougue with a barrage of chair shots, leaving him a bloody mess on the canvas, they then walk slowly to the back.

Doug: Ahh what a disgrace,Time to cut to a commercial break.

-Commercial-

Doug: We are back live here in Washington D.C.. Now we go to the triple threat match up for the Atlantic title, should be a spectacular event, possibly one of the greatest of all time.

Elisha: Is your middle name Tony?

Doug: No why?

Elisha: Just curious.

Marty: Let's go down to Craig Conners for the intro.

Craig Conners: Now ladies and gentlemen, the triple threat match for the Atlantic title…Introducing first, From Toronto, Ontario Canada, he is Maniac!!!

"Turn the Page" By Metallica hits the P.A. and out comes Maniac, fake Atlantic title on one shoulder wearing a black leather jacket over his ring attire, and sun glasses, he goes to give a young fan the glasses but steps back and laughs putting them back on and laughing as he rolls into the ring.

Craig Conners: Coming to the ring next is a man that calls him self the Iron Man of the BEW, He's from Chicago Illinois, Standing at six feet five inches, weighing three hundred pounds, he is Jack Iroooooooons!!

"Fucking Hostile" by Pantera hits the speakers and the crowd begins to boo, but Jack Irons is not seen anywhere.

Doug: Thank god......

Craig Conners: And last but not least he is the Atlantic Champion, A sworn hater of the M.o.A. from Asbury Park New Jersey, the BEW proudly brings to you Jaigo!!!!

The fans give Jaigo a mixed ovation as he makes his way to the ring, and stares down Maniac. Suddenly from the Jumbotron an image of Jack Irons appears, sitting on the balcony of his residence, he begins to speak….

Jack Irons: Now look at what we have here. Two scrubs standing side by side, like a couple of bums on a street corner. Maniac, You don't even have the ability to step up to the likes of Grim Reaper, And everyone knows that Jobbo there doesn't stand a chance in the ring with an athlete like myself. Now in case your wondering why I haven't blessed you two sorry clowns with my presence this evening it's because everyone in their right mind knows that I could destroy you scrubs on my worst day, and to tell you the truth I don't see much of a point in coming all the way to these shows anymore to run around and beat on scrubs week in and week out. When its common knowledge that I'm better than both of you. No Maniac I'm not saying I'm the best there is, or even was, I'm just saying for god's sake, I'm better than you two scrubs combined. Now play little boys and have a great evening.

Right then from behind Jack Irons comes out of the crowd with a lead pipe hitting across the backs of Jaigo and Maniac the fans begin to boo as Jack exits the other side of the ring and stands in the entrance way, mic in hand, Jaigo and Maniac laying on the canvas.

Jack Irons: Now you two rooks should know better than that. Actually expect me not to show up? Come on Jaigo knows better than that. Now I'd just like to say to all the members of A.A. that were my fans for the last couple of years, Good Bye. I'm stepping down from this fine sport. I'm off to the Bahamas for a little r and r. And believe me, I'll have one for ya. To the M.o.A, Thanks a lot for being by my side, its been real. Best of luck to all of you.

Irons leaves the arena to a couple of guys slobbering beside him who have jumped the railings and handed him a beer, he turns around looking at the arena for the last time and exists the building.

DougBye Bye.

Marty: It looks like Jaigo and Maniac have gained there footing and the ref calls for the bell.

Doug: Well it looks like Jack Irons is gone from the BEW, it must be my lucky day.

Marty: Did you get any Vampires today, I forgot to ask.

Doug: Funny.

Elisha: Jaigo and Maniac lock up, Maniac hitting Jaigo with a jawbreaker, sending Maniac to the canvas

Doug: Now Jaigo grabs Maniac by the hair picking him up and sending him to the ropes kicking him to the outside

Marty : Jaigo now runs and dives over the top rope, landing on Maniac who was standing on the outside.

Elisha: Now Jaigo once again picks up Maniac and tosses him onto the railing, oh that looks like it hurts.

Marty: How would you know?

Elisha: You're a real comedian tonight, ha ha.

Doug: Now Jaigo runs with a clothesline and knocks Maniac down to the floor. Maniac lays out on the concrete.

Elisha: Now Jaigo jumps up onto the apron for a diving elbow, he jumps and misses!!

Doug: Maniac rolled out of the way, Jaigo lays holding his arm from the impact, Jaigo gets tossed back into the ring, and Maniac kicks him in the stomach, and powerbombs him down!

Marty: He then picks up Jaigo and hits him with a russian leg sweep and applies some sort of reverse figure four like manuver.

Doug: What a sharp looking move.

Marty: Sharp indeed.

Doug: Jaigo kicks out.

Elisha: Jaigo now back on his feet as he counters a back body from Maniac, and sends him to the corner, he stands Jaigo up on top and Maniac pushes him off, Maniac comes off and drops a leg across Jaigo's neck

Doug: Jaigo gets back up and hits him with a couple punches, beating Maniac with lefts and rights, lefts and rights

Marty: Oh my its Jaigo, putting the knuckles to Maniac!

Elisha: Maniac counters, grabbing one of Jaigo's fists and putting him into an arm bar, kicking him in the face with a right foot, then ax kicking him in the back of the head

Doug: Jaigo tries to battle back to his feet, And oh my Maniac hits the HEAD HUNTER!!!

Craig Conners: Your winner and NEW ATLANTIC CHAMPION MANIAC!!!!!

Marty: What is this?

Maniac wraps the Atlantic Title around his waist and motions as if he was whipping his ass with the fake one as he drops it on top of Jaigo. Maniac then goes to leave the ring when he sees the M.o.A come running out from behind the announcers, slapping Doug and Marty as they run by. Maniac tries to run but gets trapped, surrounded by E.W. , Life, and Attict. Attict and Life scoop up Maniac and hit him with a double powerbomb, then all three tie him to the canvas, leaving him looking at the lights as they roll out of the ring.

Doug: What brutal attacks by the M.o.A this evening, this is ridiculous, when is it going to stop, I don't appreciate these guys coming out here, slapping me in the head. This is out of control, last week Irons, Now this!

Elisha: We need to do something about this.

Marty : Ahh, I have a damn headache now.

-Commercial-

Elisha: Wow that was something as Maniac took the win. First they fought at Slugfest '99 in a great contest, and here again tonight. Lets get to our next match. This is for the Hardcore Title, Virus will be challenging Price.

Doug: It should be interesting as the former World champion takes on possibly the hottest wrestler in BEW right now. Price is on an awesome roll.

Marty: That's true this is the champ's first match since he lost his title. He's gonna be awfully hungry to get some gold back. This should be a great match-up.

Elisha: Yeah it really is a clash of titans. Craig take it away.

Craig Conners: This match is for the Hardcore Title, Introducing first the defending Champion, He is the master of the Enigma, He stands 6 feet and one inch. He weighs 240 pounds, I give you Price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Last Dance with Mary Jane" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers hits the P.A.. The crowd starts to get to his feet awaiting the arrival of Price. He steps out and the crowd erupts. He walks down the aisle shaking hands with the fans. He slides into the ring. He takes the belt off and looks at it momentarily before handing it to the ref.

Doug: That belt really means a lot to him. He's really turned into a fine competitor. The fans really seem to take to him.

Marty: Yeah the guy has had some huge articles to overcome in his journey to this point. He's lost so much but he really has turned things around.

Elisha: He's the kinda guy you just hope does well. You never like to see things go wrong for a guy like him.

Craig Conners:And his opponent. He is the BEW's first World Heavyweight Champion. Also your BEW Comissioner of Justice. He is without a doubt a contender. He is the huge, the menacing, the undefeated...the 7 foot giant. He weighs in at 328 pounds he is accompanied to the ring by his manager Venus and The Punisher. The Lone Wolf of wrestling.....he is VIRUSSSS!!!

Who Made Who" by AC/DC can be heard throughout the arena but nobody comes out. They begin to play Who Made Who" by AC/DC again and the spotlight hits the entrance. But once again nobody comes out. Then all of a sudden the lights go out and Virus appears on the MerrixTron. Price just looks on wondering what this could mean. Virus begins to speak.

Virus: Price I promised you a surprise didn't I....I also promised you I'd show you the gift for your dear wife and son as well. Well this tape was shot on Wednesday and I hope that you enjoy the flames....I know I enjoyed them....roll it guys.

The shot shows an open graveyard. Virus is walking down through the rows of graves with a shovel and a gas can. He continues walking with an evil grin on his face. He then stops in front of two tombstones. Price knows who those two tombstones belong to and has a worried look on his face. Virus grabs the shovel and begins digging up the graves....the shot fades... This then cuts to Virus standing in front of the two open graves, he spits into the two graves. Virus then grabs two gas cans and begins pouring gasoline into the graves. Virus looks into the camera and Price stares on in fear of what he will do next. Virus then quickly lights a match and throws it in between the two graves. The two coffins ignite and burst into flames. Price is almost brought to his knees as the camera focus' on the burning coffins. He hangs on the ropes looking with anger and waiting for Virus to come out.

Marty: That was sick.....how could somebody do that?

Elisha: Well Virus sure did a good job of distracting Price. Let's see how this affects Price's in ring performance.

Doug: How is Virus undefeated? Shawn Twilight pinned his ass, clean.

Who Made Who" by AC/DC once again begins to play as the some of the fans begin to cheer. Pyrotechnics go off as Venus and The Punisher walk through the curtain and begin to walk down the ramp. Price is completely focused on the curtain. Then out of the crowd comes Virus. He grabs one of the ringside chairs and folds it up. He slowly and quietly climbs into the ring as his music is still playing and Price is focused on the curtain. Virus sneaks up behind Price and yells "Hey Price!!!!". Price quickly turns around ready to defend himself but before he can get his hand up Virus smashes the chair into his face and throws it out of the ring. Virus then jumps on top of Price and begins to throw punches...the ref calls for the bell to start the match...

Doug: Can you believe that Virus suckered Price in! Price has got to be able to keep his emotions in. It's important he doesn't use to much of his energy early. Virus may be too big for Price.

Elisha: True, but Price has overcome a lot of things in his life. He does best when his back's against the wall. Let's see how this one turns out.

Marty: Right now Price has got to find a way to do some offense.

Virus gets off and points down at Price. Price gets up as the crowd starts to cheer. Virus picks up the chair and smacks Price again with it. He then literally nails him 5 or 6 times, really nailing him. In fact one of those shots busts Price open. The crowd starts to stomp their feet. Price starts to move as Virus gets in an argument with the ref. Price grabs the ropes and gets to his feet as the crowd erupts again. Next the crowd starts to boo as Flesh makes his way down the ramp. He seems to be calm and very patient he's got his trusty Machine with him. He sneaks up on Punisher and smacks the Punisher with the Machine. Venus immediately drops to see if Punisher's all right. Virus stares Price down oblivious to the goings on the outside. Then Virus turns his head and notices Flesh as Price charges with a clothesline. Flesh then throws some powder into Price's eyes. Then he tomahawks the Machine knocking Price to the mat. Virus gets to his feet. Flesh stares down Virus. Flesh snaps to action lowblowing Virus with the Machine. While Virus is in pain. Flesh manages to tie him up in the ropes He then goes to town with the Machine busting Virus open in the process.

Elisha: Oh my word! The King o' Extreme is making his presence known in the Hardcore title match in a big way. Guess that's why he is King.

Doug: The World champion is definitely in control of this one. With Flesh the question is always gotta be what will he do next?

Marty: And who he will do it to. The man still got two matches tonight. One is just going to be brutal. The tag match. And then he has to defend against Devastator.

Price gets back to his feet. And Flesh nails him with the Machine for good measure. Price falls against the ropes and Flesh ties him up as well Flesh pulls out a mic and looks down at Virus.

Doug: Flesh has taken this match hostage.

Flesh: I fucking warned ya didn't I little shit? Lookey here Flesh took you down all by his lonesome, and ye saw it coming at that. Just a little fun for me. Just a damn game I'm playing with you. As for Pathetic well I just have him tied up so he doesn't bother my moment. Well, you've been embarrassed now so I'll just leave ya here. Buh bye.

Flesh backs up and nails Virus with the Machine one last time. He exits the ring and walks down the aisle people throwing stuff at him just a sly smile comes across his face. The ref frees Price and Venus and Punisher who is back on his feet try to free Virus. Virus is then worked free as he collapses to the mat. Venus puts something in Virus's hand, Price is still a bit wobbly himself. Virus makes up to one knee. Price then advances towards Virus. Virus nails a right into the stomach. Then he takes the loaded hand and nails a vicious uppercut to Price. Blood literally flies off his face. Virus still wobbly as he tries to shake off the brutal attack by Flesh.

Elisha: With all the shenanigans going on in this match. This has actually turned out the way we thought it would. Nothing short of a blood bath.

Doug: Both men have taken quite a beating already and I'm not sure if it's close to ending yet.

Marty: Virus needs to take advantage if he's wants to walk away with the title. You don't want a guy like Price to get a third or fourth wind.

The Punisher reaches from under the mat and hands Virus a shovel. As Price gets back to his feet. Virus nails him with it. Price then grabs the ropes as he tries to get up. Virus just laughs at him. Price gets to his feet. The crowd goes insane. Virus nails him in the gut with the handle and really hammers him with the metal part as he was crouched over.

Elisha: You know what I just realized, Price, despite all that has happened in this match is trying to keep this match clean. Virus is trying to provoke him to use a weapon. Man this guy impresses me more and more the more of him I see.

Doug: You know what, I think your right Elisha. If you can believe it. I really can't, I don't know how much longer he can absorb those shots of Virus'. They have to take their toll eventually.

Marty: That's suicide if you ask me. You got to fight fire with fire.

Elisha: Well I guess it would be hard for you to comprehend that some people won't sacrifice their morals to get what they want. You know some people actually like to earn their things the right way than ever lower their standards and to get it.

Marty:Really I thought that was just a tall tale like Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox.

Elisha: You're unbelievable.

Marty: I know.

Venus hands Virus a mic. He yells down at Price. "Look at your hardcore champ....he won't even use a chair! Hahaha" as he is laughing Price picks up the chair that was used earlier in the match and bashes Virus acorss the skull. The crowd goes bananas. Price then sets up the chair and as Virus struggled to his feet. He nails a bull dog on him. He covers.

Elisha: Two close falls by Price, He's really turning the heat on.

Marty: Virus still has something in him. Price has got to really hit with something to put him away before Virus gets a chance to go on the offensive.

Doug: Good point Marty, Right now Price is in control but he better not be too predictable Or Virus could turn it around. He wasn't World Champion for nothing.

Price with a whip into the ropes, he tries a clothesline, Virus ducks. He comes off Giant Spear. Price hits the mat hard. He picks him back and delivers a nasty Shoulder Breaker. He covers.

No Price got his right shoulder up.

Doug : The impact on the chair utterly collapsed it. That was one big shot. I can't believe Price kicked out.

Elisha: It shows what that guy is made up. He is one tough hombre in the and out the ring.

Marty: Yeah these guys have both taken a lot of punishment. It's a testament to both.

Punisher slides a table into the ring. As Virus signals for the end. Virus sets the table up. He then grabs Price by the neck as he looks to try a choke slam on Price. He lifts him up but Price counters with a dropkick. Price then immediately goes for the Enigma. Virus powers out with a back body drop. Then he drops to the mat. Virus first to his feet. As he sets the table in the one corner. Then he lifts Price to his feet. He tries to whip Price into that corner but Price reverses it and sends Virus back into the original corner.

Elisha: These guys are still going reversal after reversal. It's just amazing. This action can only be found in the BEW!

Doug: You're right Elisha. These guys no matter what you think about them personally or what they do outside the ring. Have proved that they are indeed warriors tonight.

Marty: Well the night is still young we got lots more for you on Capitol Punishment.

Price follows in with a big elbow. But Virus moved. Virus takes the table down again and sets it near the one corner. He lifts up Price up to the top rope. He follows and looks to attempt a superplex. Both men very bloody and very weary. He tries but Price hooks up the top rope. He gives a boot to create some space. He hooks Virus up. Enigma off the top rope through that table.

Marty: That's it they're dead!

Elisha: Neither man is moving! The ref begins his count!

Doug:1,2,3,4......

Elisha: 5,6,7......

Price rolls over and lays an arm over on Virus.

Craig Conners: Your winner and still Hardcore Champion Price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Punisher rolls into the ring, He picks up Price and delivers The Awakening. Venus tends to Virus. Virus gets up as well. Blood dripping down his face. He picks Price up and applies Diseased. Officials run down to the ring and try to break it up. The scene goes to a commercial advertising the newest BEW video collection. "Prayers And Slugfests".

-Commercial-

Elisha: We have returned live to Capitol Punishment. I'll tell you, Virus does some terrible things, he ruined that match by attacking at the end.

Marty:It was a classic still can't believed he burnt those graves. I don't think this is the last of this battle.

Doug: You're probably right Marty, Lets go to Craig for the announcements of our next match.

Craig Conners: This match will be taking place in a computer lab we have built in an off arena location. The rules are simple pinfalls, submissions, and KO's will eliminate. The winner the man to stave off elimination. Introducing first the man from the darkside, He is the master of the Soul Taker. He stands at 7 feet tall, He weighs 290 pounds. He is Grim Reaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

The big MerrixTron is lowered into the ring. So the fans and the announcers can see. "Dragula" by Rob Zombie is played. The fans give him some boos. Reaper is the first to enter the room filled with computers ,chairs ,and spare parts. It is set up by four long rows of computers on top of tables they go parallel to each other. Two set up next to each running through the middle of the room. The other two are placed along the walls. As they go long ways down the middle. He is wearing his "Fear The Reaper" T-Shirt as well as his tights that say "Reaper".

Craig Conners: The second competitor stands 6 foot 8 and weighs in at 278 pounds. He is a former member of Reality. He is the master of the Vertical DDT. I give you John Clark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Happypill" by 16 Volt is pumped into the PA. The crowd gives him a good pop as he enters the room. He stares down Reaper who stares him back as well.

Craig Conners: The final entrant is the current TV champion. He is the leader of The Guild. He is escorted to the room by the Harvester of Pain and Dawn. He is Jon Prophet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prophet is wearing his leather priest's outfit, but this time he's got an evil grin on his face, before he enters the room he has The Harvester stand at the door, Dawn is next to Harvie holding the title. Jon comes into the room with a can of gas, and a zippo lighter, he gives the cut throat sign at Grim and Clark, and The Harvester closes the door. Jon spreads the gasoline all over the room splashing it all over the walls near him. After that, he puts a finger up to his lips, and lights the Zippo, and tosses it at the closest wall. The lights go out and then they come back on. The lights go off again. They come back on and then you see a screen saver come across one of the computers. "Clark vs. Life in a Warehouse 30 ft. Cage Match Next Time on BEW". Then the camera shows Clark all tied up in wires on a chair.

Marty: looks like this is gonna be a little more insane than we previously thought as Prophet one ups his competitors by placing the room on fire.

Elisha: Looks like Life isn't finished with his long time feud with Clark either. This time it should end in a 30 foot Cage match.

Doug: This certainly has to be the most dangerous match in this community since the Fire and Brimstone matches in WCIWA and GWIWC.

Grim immediately goes to work on Clark all tied up. As he chokes Clark with those wires. Prophet simply watches on. Clark manges to free himself and nails Grim with a keyboard. Clark turns around and watches as Prophet puts his hand into the fire and it catches on fire. He laughs as he puts it out. Clark stunned by this as Prophet drop kicks him into the wall. Clark's one leg catches on fire but he immeadiately puts that out. Grim throws a punch at Prophet who blocks it and fires back with one of his own. Grim retaliates with a big boot to the mug of Prophet. Prophet hits the deck. Clark clotheslines Grim to the floor. He grabs a mouse and begins to choke Grim with it. As he does that Prophet snaps a headlock on Clark.

Elisha: Wow what action! This is definitely not for the weak of heart!

Move On Into This Historic Night
