Nevermore

Hang on... not one of you has picked Rhino/Taker, despite it being 2-on-1. Is my favouritism for heels that obvious? Quote The Raven Nevermore

I'm Joey Styles and, alongside me as always is former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. No word as yet on the potential title challenges of the Thomaselli brothers, Sal and Brandon, but we do know the TV champ Juvi Guerrera will be in action tonight. Joey: That's one of three titles being defended, Taz, as ECW shows once again why it's the only real ticket in town. Taz: ...and then talk about the drama there is going on, Joey... the Nest is in absolute disarray and... well... Kelly... pregnant. Joey: I'm not touching that with a barge pole, Taz. Her business is her business... mine is just calling the matches. Taz: And on that note. ECW World Television Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg The two men put on a solid aerial display for the opening bout. Juvi retains his title with the 450 Splash at 12:17 Match Rating: B- Francine picks up a mic as Juvi puts his mask back on after the match, as has become customary. Francine: Since winning the Television Championship at Guilty As Charged, Juvi has sought to be a fighting champion who defends his title against the best that ECW has to offer. He is the very essence of a fighting champion. He knows that the Television Title does not carry the same prestige as the World Heavyweight Championship but it is the belt of the workhorse. It is the belt that tests the up and comers and provides an opportunity to the finest young talents in the industry. Juvi epitomises those ideas and hopes to continue to give a platform for the finest to perform upon. But the thing is, Brandon Thomaselli, you do not fit in that category. Since you've returned to ECW, you've interfered in matches that don't concern you; you've exposed Paul E's booking; you've bullied your little sister... What on Earth makes you think you deserve a shot above all the other talents in ECW? She hands the mic to Juvi. Guerrera: ...and attacking me last week? You think that's likely to make me want give you an opportunity, Brandon? Listen up... I'll gladly give you a shot but only when you prove your a decent person and as worthy as the other guys in the back. The fans applaud the sentiment. ECW Lioness Title Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattyLioness.jpg Japan comes out ferociously, proving that even if she is in a comedy stable, she is not to be messed with. The stiff strikes indicative of her heritage prove difficult for Nathalie to cope with. The match become more even over time but Japan floors Nathalie with a DDT in the eighth minute. However, Voodoo Dudley slides in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VoodooDudley.jpg Voodoo spins Japan around, hitting the Dudley Bomb. Natty, unaware, rises to her feet and locks in the Sharpshooter. Japan taps. Match Rating: D+ Upon the bell ringing, Vodoo re-enters and a brawl breaks out between her and Japan. Paul Heyman appears at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Woah... woah... woah. I have the feeling a whole bunch of Federation wannabes and Dudleyville inbreds are gonna appear at any second. So, before that happens, let me sort this out. Let's have something useful come out of this Dudley-Regeneration X feud. So, at Uprising, we'll see a return of the Lioness' Den Match as Nathalie defends her title against Voodoo Dudley and Meiko Sato... I mean... Japan. Heyman looks quizical. Heyman: Japan? Really?... Did I come up with that? Joey: The Lioness' Den match return to ECW, Taz. Taz: And it should be a great one. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg The two men combine for a cracing midcard bout. Chris Jericho picks up the win with the Liontamer in the eleventh minute. Match Rating: B Francine walks into her locker-room where Juvi is taking his wrestling gear off. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg Francine: Hey babe... I'm glad Paul E let you wear your mask for entrances again. You look so sexy in your lucha gear. Juvi smiles. Francine: You gonna take a shower? Juvi nods. Francine: Mind if I join you? Juvi takes her by the hand and leads her towards the showers. Taz: Wow... I'm getting a little hot under the collar here, Joey. ECW Undisputed World Tag Team Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AxlRotten.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg Frankly, it's a glorified enhancement match. The Second Generation of Dudleys look comfortbale throughout. In the seventh minute, Balls Mahoney taps to STD's Boston Crabs. Match Rating: C- Taz: Do you know how difficult it is to get rid of the Boston Crabs, Joey? Joey: No... and depending upon what exactly you're referencing, I'm not sure I want to. The Old Age Cliches appear from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/HotDog.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BlueBalls.jpg The take out the Dudleyz from behind. Hot Dog: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, Regeneration-X proudly brings to you it's future ECW TAG TEAM CHAPIONS OF THE WORLD... The "Hot Dog" Jesse Nova... "Blue Balls" Billy Buns... The OLD AGE CLICHES. Blue Balls: ...and frankly, for that to work, we need a title shot. So, if Paul E wants something useful out of the Platitude Era, let it be this: we're challenging you, Dudleys, for those tag team titles at Uprising. Backstage, Francine can be seen emerging from the shower in a towel, smiling. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg Francine: I'm just gonna change. As she looks in her bag, Juvi, also in a towel, runs out of the locker room. Francine: You okay? The camera follows Juvi out who quickly makes his way down the corridoor. He walks through a door to where Sal and Vito Thomaselli are talking. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli.jpg Vito: The f**k is he doing here? Sal: I think he's looking for a taste of what's to come at uprising, me fratello. Juvi: No... no... wait. Juvi removes his mask. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg It's Brandon Thomaselli. Vito: What the hell have you been doing? Brandon: Ha... not so much "what" as "who". Vito: NO WAY! Brandon nods. Sal: Good on you, bro. The camera cuts to the announcers. Joey: You have to be kidding... Taz: Joey, has what I think happened just happened? Joey: I really hope not! Taz: No... it can't... that's just too messed up... even for them. HGH makes his way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/HGH.jpg HGH: I am-ah Hunter-ah Gerth-ah Hemslee-ah and I am-ah... THAT-AH DAMN-AH BUILT-AH! Suddenly Nate Hatred slides in with the Sinister Minister. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg He spins HGH around... ...DECAPITATOR LARIAT! Taz: Oh... the force of that damn thing! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/HGH.jpg Nate Hatred merely makes the cover. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B- Backstage, Kelly sits in a corner crying as Shane Douglas consoles her. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg Douglas: Hey... this isn't bad news you know? Kelly: How do you figure? Douglas: You love Paul, right? Kelly: Of course I do. Douglas: And I know for a fact he loves you. This might be the best thing that's ever happened to you. Kelly: But I'm pregnant, Shane... and my baby's father is in the hospital because of what my brothers did to him. What sort of life is that to bring a child into? Dougals: It'll have whatever life you make for it. And you're too damn smart to let that be anything other than the best. Kelly: You can't tell Paul. Douglas: Of course not... you should. Kelly: No... I'm not sure I can do that either. Douglas: Why not? Kelly: I... I can't believe I'm about to say this but I'm not even sure what I want to do yet. Shane takes her by the chin and turns her face towards him. Shane: Listen... talk to Paul. This will all seem so much better when you have. Kelly: Is he okay to talk? Shane: I can take you to him right now. He'd love to see you. Kelly: No.. I can't. Not now. Not yet. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg The two-men revisit their feud from last year with a fantastic main event. It's a brutal brawling display. However, in the fourteenth minute, the World Champion runs in with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg Hero immediately takes out both Calaway and Rhino and continues to assault them with the steel. Referee, John Finnegan, has no choice but to order a no contest. Match Rating: A Joey: Damn it! Hero robbed these fans of a proper match. Taz: All's fair in love and War, Joey. And all he cares about is retaining his title. Show Rating: B+

Thanks for the interest, gents! Very much appreciated . If... and I do mean if... you ever want to catch up there's a PDF on the front page which Mistaken kindly put together. But it's a long, old beast. You could also go from post-November To Remember as stuff really came into a new era around then. That's post #1830 (page 122 for me). Alternatively, I try and re-cap what's imprtant from the backstory as and when it applies. Sorry if that's all unnecessary. I'm just conscious that there's been a lot that's happened in this thing and I have this nasty habit of sodding off for months and months at a time. Either way, glad you're on board . Next show should be up soon. Quote The Raven Nevermore

Two shows in a day?!?! It's almost like he's been missing writing this thing Monday, week 2, February <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kPBy0b9O7QU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScottHudson.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg Hudson: Good evening and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: Joel, the Thomasellis have made it their ambition to challenge for all the singles championships here in ECW at Uprising. Vito is in the main event... we know that. Gertner: But we don't know about Sal and Brandon. Hudson: Well, personally, I can't think of anyone less deserving. Gertner: More than that, Huddy. Hudson: Don't call me that... ever. Gertner: Sheesh... keep your knickers on... More than that, the Whole F**kin' Show seems to have well and truly imploded as a team. Hudson: We'll see if Shawn Michaels accepts RVD's challenge for Uprising. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Goliath starts out dominant. However, before long, the Nest's numbers take a toll and the giant is worn down. In the tenth minute, CM Punk brings in a steel chair and starts laying it into Goliath. Abyss runs out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpg Abyss slides in and rips the chair from Punk. The leader of the Nest looks stunned. He screams at Abyss. Gertner: It seems like Abyss is trying to act as mediator, Scotty. Hudson: It does, Joel, but I don't like his chances. Suddenly, the Briscoes jump Abyss from behind and start beating the monster down. However, Goliath seizes on the distraction to hit the Chokeslam on Punk. 1...2...3! Match Rating: C+ Shawn Michaels comes to the ring to a chorus of jeers. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels3.jpg Michaels: Oh... how quick all you fickel fans are to forget. When Raven awas running roughshod over ECW, who was it who took him down a notch? ME. When the New Age Enterprise had a strangle hold over this promotion, who stepped up to the plate? ME. When the tag team ranks were lacking talent, who leant his charisma and wealth of talent? ME. Hudson: Wait... he's claiming sole credit now? Michaels: ...and yet still you boo me. You see, The Whole F**kin' Shw may have been fun while it lasted but it was drain on my career. And just as the "The Showstopper" was born when I put Marty Jannety through a window all those years ago, taking the steel to RVD last week was quite simply the right thing to do! Gertner: Go figure... Michaels: Rob... Everything you've ever done in your career is Shawn Michaels rip-off, Rob, and it's about time you realised that. You were riding my coat tails long before we ever teamed together. You're not an innovator, Rob. I am. You're not the most athletic wrestler in the world. I am. You're not the franchise. I am. And while you maybe "The Whole F**kin' Show", I'm the "Showstopper". Get it? So, Rob, consider your challenge accepted, brother. I beat you at November To Remember and I'm going to beat you again. But I won't just beat you. This time, I'll break you. You think no one can get under your skin? Think again. A girl can break man's heart but only a brother can break his spirit. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VoodooDudley.jpg The two Lionesses combine for a solid bout. Japan picks up the win with an Enziguiri in the tenth minute. Match Rating: C- After the match, Japan continues the beatdown. The rest of the Dudley clan come running http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg Japan makes a quick exit. D-Von: Oh... Regeneration-X... you have picked the wrong family to antagonise. The righteous progenies of Grandaddy Dudley hold our family heritage most dear... and, indeed, that family heritage as you justly claim includes... violence... scantily clad women... and nob gags. The fans applaud. Dick Jr: And... uh... inbreeding... don't forget that, Unc. D-Von slaps Dick Jr. D-Von: Pipe down, jackass. STD: Oh... Regeneration-X, you best know that when you hassle my momma, I'm gonna beat you like the stepchildren you are. Daizy: You can talk... D-Von: Children, please... some unity for heaven's sake. We're on television. The Dudleys all wave to the camera. Dick Jr. proudly shows his big buck-tooth smile. Voodoo: Fool, did I not tell you she'd try and get a cheap shot in? D-Von: Yess'um. Voodoo: I mean did I not say that Japan would try and blindside me? D-Von: Yess'um. Voodoo: Tell me if I'm wrong but did I not specifically... D-Von: DAMN IT DEJA! THIS IS WHY WE GOT DIVORCED! Voodoo: Oh, yeah... nothing at all to do with your snoring. Daizy: So much for unity. Voodoo clips Daizy round the ear. Voodoo: You speak when spoken to, miss. Daizy: Yess'um. D-Von: Slyk... STD: What? D-Von: Get this promo back on track. STD: Well, I was trying, poppa but I gone lost my train o' thought. D-Von: Oh, damn it. Bubba... Bubba: Thou shall not f**k with the D...D...D...Du...Duh...D... D-Von slaps his brother. Bubba: Dud...Dud...Dud... D-Von: Damn... that's getting less efective. Banzai... Ultimo Dudley II: THOU SAO NO' FUH WITH THE DUDDEREES! The group all fold their arms and look meancing, apart from Bubba. Bubba: It's "The Dudleys" you crazy asian. Ultimo Dudley II: "DUDDEREES"... is what I said... no? D-Von stares in disbelief at his brother. Bubba: What? D-Von: NOW YOU CAN SAY IT PROPERLY?! D-Von storms out of the ring. His family follow. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg The two junior wrestlers combine for a great match (which probably begs the question as to why I keep sticking Sasuke in comedy angles... a legend in a comedy schtick: it tickles me ) Juvi picks up the win with a 450 Splash in the fifteenth minute. Match Rating: B+ As the bell rings, Sal and Brandon run-in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg Immeditately, they blindside Juvi with a viscious assalt. Hudson: Oh, come on... Ricky Marvin runs out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RickyMarvinIAA.jpg Rather than face a fair fight, the Thomasellis make a quick exit. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AKINO.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattyLioness.jpg It's another solid lioness bout. After an even match in which both competitors see equal offence, Nathalie picks up the win with a Sharpshooter. Match Rating: C- Goliath is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Goliath: Abyss, I hope tonight brings you to your senses. For over a year, we've played henchmen to whatever power hungry prick is in charge. Well, I'm a giant and you're a monster. Together, we can take ECW by storm so long as we're not being held back. Punk only wants you as protection. He doesn't care what happens to you. I need you, though, brother... and you need me. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels3.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg The impromptu teams make for a decent match. Chris Hero seems intent on avoiding Rhino at all costs. When Rhino receives the hot tag in the tenth minute, Hero slides out and escapes up the aisle-way. Gertner: Well, it looks like Shawn is on his own. Hudson: ...and that, ladies and gentlemen is our World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Hero. What an inspiring sight. Michaels suffers a Gore followed by a Five Star Frog Splash for the fall. Match Rating: B Shane Douglas is walking backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg Muffled crying can be heard. Puzzled, Douglas opens the nearest locker room dear. Kelly Thomaselli sits in the corner crying. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg Douglas: Kelly... are you okay? Kelly looks up. Kelly: SHANE! Am I happy to see you! How's Paul? Douglas: That's exactly why I was trying to find you. He's not great but it's nothing life threatening. It'll just be a hard road back. Your brothers really beat him badly. Kelly: Bastards! Douglas: They're your brothers. Kelly: YOU'RE DEFENDING THEM?! Douglas: No... far from it. But they're your brothers, not mine. There are thoughts of mine that you don't need to hear. Kelly: That's sweet... but you can't possibly think less of them than I do. Believe me. Suddenly, Kelly dry heaves. Douglas: Jesus... are you okay? He sits down next to Kelly and puts an arm around her. Kelly: You know, you're the first person who's really shown any care. I've been feeling sick every morning and evening for about a week and... Dougals: Wait... about a week? Kelly: Yeah. Why? Douglas: Have you eaten anything strange? Kelly: I was thinking about that. I don't think so. Douglas: Aah... Kelly: What? Douglas: I think I need to take you to a pharmacy. Kelly: Can they treat sickness like this? Douglas: That's not quite what I meant. Kelly: What do you mean? Douglas: Well... you may... and I do mean you may... be pregnant. Kelly looks stunned. Douglas: It's okay. Kelly: No... no it's not! I can't take this right now. She starts sobbing. Douglas: Hey, come here. Douglas hugs Kelly. She cries into his shoulder. Suddenly, Sal and Brandon walk in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg Sal: KELLY! WHAT THE F**K IS HE DOING HERE?! Kelly: Sal... I... no... I mean... please. Sal and Brandon march on Douglas. However, Douglas quickly kicks Brandon in the shin and lowblows Sal. He stands up and takes both of them in a front face block. He DDTs both of them on the locker room floor. Douglas: Come with me, Kel. Kelly takes Douglas by the hand and they walk out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli3.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg The two men put on an excellent match. Vito uses every heel tactic he can to avoid a fair fight and takes the advantage after a lowblow in the sixth minute. However, by the tenth minute, Calaway starts to come back. He hooks up Vito for the Tombstone... But Vito slips over his back and rolls him up in a schoolboy. 1...2... Vito gets his feet on the bottom rope. ...3! Match Rating: A As Vito makes a quick escape, Taker makes a cutthroat motion in the ring. Show Rating: B+

I could not give a sh*t whether you think I'm a "deserving" challenger or not. I deserve everything I've got coming to me. I've worked crappy gimmicks, done the job countless times while Paul E, in his infinite f**king wisdom, has decided to give you a damn Jesus push. You don't get to say that I don't deserve it. If you're half the fighting champion you say you are, you'll put that TV Title on the line against me... and you'll be grateful for me improving the crappy ratings we get whenever you're on the show.

Monday, week 1, February <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kPBy0b9O7QU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScottHudson.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg Hudson: Good evening and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: Last week, on Blood, Sweat and Beers, we witnessed the most disgusting of assaults on Paul Burchill by the Thomaselli brothers and, now, it looks like Kelly Thomaselli is caught between her brothers and her boyfriend. Gertner: Poor girl... if she ever needs a shoulder to cry on... or, indeed... Hudson: ENOUGH JOEL! What we can promise tonight is that we will have an update on the medical condition of "The New Franchise". Gertner: Not to mention the fallout from the implosion of the Nest. Hudson: And Traci attempting to act as mediator between Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels. It truly has been a week of surprises in ECW and tonight shows no signs of being any different. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg Nate Hatred returns to his dominant ways, controlling the match and making a statement after the events of Living Dangerously. With james Mitchell cheering him on from ringside, he wins with his thunderous Decapitator Lariat at 9:17. Match Rating: B- The Thomasellli Brothers make their way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli3.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg The boos are deafening. Kelly appears to be an unwilling ally. She walks slowly behind her brothers with her head down until Vito grabs her by the wrist and encourages her towards the ring. Vito: Now we've taken care of our residual business from Living Dangerously, it's time to move on to far more important things. Sal... Sal: The first order of business is simple. Ricky Marvin, I don't know who the hell you are or where the hell you've come from but, for some inexplicable reason, Paul E has seen fit to give you a belt that my brother made famous. So, for the pride of our family and our heritage, I am challenging you to a match for the International All Action Title at ECW Uprising! He hands the mic to Brandon. Brandon: And, in similar fashion, I also have a challenge in mind... Juventud Guerrera, whether you were involved with Shawn Michaels' actions or not, it seems like you weaseled your way out of a fair title defence last month. And, with that in mind, it's time these people had a real fighting champion... in the form of Brandon Thomaselli. Hudson: Who does he think he's kidding? Brandon hands the mic back to Vito. Vito: Hands up who can guess what's coming next. Vito glares at the front row. Vito: I was being sarcastic, you idiots... Jeez. He shakes his head. Vito: Chris Hero, I've been denied that World Title far too long and it's about damn time I got what was coming to me! So... Paul Heyman appears at the entrance way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Woah, woah, woah... let me get this straight. You two... He points at Sal and Brandon. Heyman: Have been nowhere near an ECW event for the best part of three months. You haven't competed in a single match; you haven't proven a damn thing... and somehow you think you're worthy of title shots? Sal: Hey, hey! The only reason we were off TV is because you... Oh great leader... didn't book us. So... Heyman doesn't wait for Sal to finish. Heyman: And you... He glares at Vito, turning red with rage. Heyman: You give away plotlines on live television; you set our booking back months; you refuse to do the job like you were asked... YOU ARE A CANCER ON THIS INDUSTRY! The fans cheer as Heyman composes himself. Heyman: And after the stunt you pulled last week, why the hell should I even entertain the notion of you as number one contender? I shouldn't give you a title match! I SHOULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED! Vito smiles. Vito: Arrested, huh? That's a mighty big threat, Paul E. You're father's a lawyer, though, right? So, you know that's a bluff. Trouble is, so do I. Not only is this "Extreme" Championship Wrestling, a product model you endorse; you also washed your hands of mine and Burchill's feud. You actively turned a blind eye to our shoot match so you would be an accomplice to any assault that took place if you wanted to involve the law. Heyman looks worried. Gertner: Is that true? Hudson: I'm not sure but Paul E looks worried. Vito: So, beyond my deserving it, how about you give me a shot at the title so I don't sue you for creating an unsafe work environment. Vito laughs. Hudson: Is this a game to him? What an ass! Paul: You listen and you listen good, kid. I... Heyman is cut off. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Chris Hero walks straight past Heyman, not making eye contact with him. Further boos ring out. Hero: Let me handle this, Paul. Hudson: Oh god, we have to deal with four idiots now! The World Champion enters the ring. Hero: Now, Vito, let's talk seriously here. What exactly makes you think you can hang in the same ring as the saviour of ECW? I am the man that, last week, felled the deadman. I beat Mark Cal... Calaway appears at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg The first big pop of the night is heard. Taker: The only reason you beat me is because you blinsided me heading into Living Dangerously! You proved nothing, "champ". And if anyone deserves a title shot, Paul E, I deserve a rematch... rather than this arrogant kid. He points at Vito. Heyman begins to look flustered. As Taker makes his way to the ring as Hero looks worried. Vito: The only reason you two had a problem to begin with was because of me. Remember, Take, you stepped in to defend my honour or some sh*t. Vito and his brothers laugh. Taker: You watch your damn mouth boy! You didn't just turn your back on these fans; you turned your back on me and the confidence I had in you. Vito: Oh, will you ever forgive me? Hudson: He really should watch his mouth around Taker! Gertner: I think with his brothers back he feels like he jas safety in numbers. Taker climbs over the ropes. He makes as though he is going to say something... but drops the microphone and Chokeslams Chris Hero. The Thomaselli brothers jump Taker from behind. Suddenly Rhino slides in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg Gore to Vito. Gertner: GORE! ...and to Sal! ...and Brandon! Hudson: Rhino is clearing house! Taker and The man Beast go nose to nose. Hudson: Oh, we all know the history between this two! Heyman: Woah... woah... There's only one solution to this. At ECW uprising it will be a four-way match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Chris Hero vs. Vito Thomaselli vs. Mark Calaway vs. Rhino! Hudson: Oh my! Gertner: That's crazy! Heyman: Oh, and... in lieu of a legal punishment... Sal, Brandon you're in the main event tonight against the Hardcore Innovators! The feed cuts to a break as Rhino and Taker continue to stare one another down. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LowKi.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulLondon.jpg The fans do not seem impressed by seeing two such little known wrestlers in a match. However, Low Ki makes another impressive showing. He wins with a Dragon Clutch at 7:19. Match rating: E Part of The Nest make their way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg Punk: Last week may have seemed like dark days for the Nest but we will be quick to recover. Tonight, we will deal with the traitor Goliath and ensure that he creates no further obstacles to our ambitions. However, I am out here to make a direct appeal to Abyss. Abyss, you haven't lost the faith have you old friend? I know you had no part of Goliath's treachery last week and I want you to consider your position. Do you want to be welcomed, as ever, into the family that has protected you all this time? Or do you want to turn your back on those closest to you; betray them; break their hearts; and become an outcast? The choice is yours Abyss. But we both know you are an intelligent man; a loyal man; a righteous man. Make the smart decision. No... make the right decision, Abyss. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg The two men put on a solid midcard match. In the twelfth minute, Eddie hits a thumb to the eye before rolling Daniels up for a flash pin. Match Rating: C+ Hudson: Another cheap victory by Guerrero here tonight. Gertner: It looks like he has a new gameplan, Scotty. Juventud Guerrera is backstage with Francine for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg Francine: Vito, I thought I knew you once. I found out before most what you were capable of but you've gone to new lows in recent weeks. Guerrera: And now, your brother Brandon wants a shot at this TV Title? Francine: Please... why the hell should we validate your actions by giviing you a title shot, Brandon? Juvi is every bit the fighting champion but I guarantee you that the ECW fans do not want to see that match! There are wrestlers far more deserving of that shot than you; potential matches that the fans in this arena and at home want to see far more! Guerrera: So, the answer is no, Brandon. But... if you want to prove yourself capable of fair competition rather than just dirty tricks, I'll be happy to give you a shot at this title. Francine: Your move, Brandon. Don't let your brother drag you down. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AxlRotten.jpg The True World Order start strongly. However, Balls and Axl take an advantage. Before too long, they have chairs in the ring and start putting the to use. Gertner: Well, this doesn't look like much of a "statement"! All of a sudden, Andrew Martin jumps the guard rail. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/HGH.jpg Hudson: Is that "The Prototype"? What's Andrew Martin doing here? Martin slides in and clubs Balls in the back of the head. Balls turns to face him, angered. But he is spun back around... ...STEVIE KICK. 1...2...3! Match Rating: C Gertner: Martin just distracted Balls Mahoney and cost him and Axl a victory. Hudson: But why? Suddenly, previously unheard music plays. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eru7bYMvJOo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> A motley crew makes its way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/HotDog.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BlueBalls.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpg Martin grabs a microphone. Martin: Yes, it is I... "The Human Growth Hormone" Hunter Girth Hemslee and I am THAT-AH DAMN-AH BUILT-AH. The crowd seem slightly bemused. HGH: So, you see, I feel it is my duty to introduce you to Regeneration-X. Hudson: Oh dear. Gertner: Hear them out, Scotty. HGH hands the mic to Big Stevie Cool. Stevie: Me and Sasuke-Pac promised you a statement tonight! Hudson: Sasuke-Pac?! Stevie: And the statement is this. ECW has been the second-tier promotion in the US for far too long! And there is only one way to put that right - to... well... steal a few ideas from the Federation. So, we're gonna fight to turn ECW into a more family-friendly product. Less chairs; more prayers. Sasuke chimes in. Sasuke: And vitamins! Stevie: Yes lots of Vitamins! You see, Regeneration X represents everything about the Federation that we should emulate. He points to HGH. Stevie: We have strapping, not-at-all chemically enhanced men. He points to the Blue Meanie. Stevie: We show equal respect to strange individuals with unhealthy anatomical fixations... as Blue Balls Billy Bunn can attest to. Hudson: Blue Balls?! This is ridiculous. Gertner: This is awesome! He now points to Meiko Satomura. Stevie: We also show equal respect toward women... like Japan, here. He points to Sasuke. Stevie: We have... well... guys with "Pac" in their name because. Well... He quickly changes subject, pointing to Nova. Stevie: And we have good, old-fashioned family fun in the form of the Hot Dogg! Hudson: I wondered why he was dressed like a wiener. Joel giggles. Hudson: Oh, grow up. HGH: WE ARE REGENERATION X... ah. And-ah, tonight, we fire the first shot in the war against Extreme culture. Together we will usher in... THE PLATITUDE ERA! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Gertner: Where is Abyss? Hudson: I don't know, Joel. But he isn't here! Sure enough, Goliath is on his own against the rest of the Nest. He puts up a good fight at first, using his huge strength advantage. But, before long, the numbers start to tell and he is slowly picked apart by the Nest. In the eleventh minute, he blacks out in an Ananconda Vice from CM Punk. Match Rating: C+ Traci and RVD make their way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg Traci: Shawn, I've brought Robbie out here tonight so the three of us can talk and straighten things out between the two of you. RVD looks skeptical. Traci: The two of you have been through far too much to let things fall apart because of a simple break down in communication. So, Shawn why not come out here and we can settle this properly? Sure enough, Michaels makes his way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels3.jpg He stands in the ring without a mic, seemingly wainting for Traci to continue. Traci: Now, guys, I know you two have had your fallings out previously and it's always come good in the end. After all... this is everyone's favourite team... The crowd chant along. Traci: ...The Whole F**kin' Show! She pauses as the crowd applauds. Traci: So, Shawn let's talk... tell us what your feeling, hun. Shawn Michaels smiles. SWEET CHIN MUSIC TO VAN DAM! Hudson: Oh, god! Gertner: It doesnt look like he wants to sort things out, Scotty! Traci looks shocked. Michaels shrugs as the crowd boo. Traci shouts at Michaels, seemingly urging him to calm down. SWEET CHIN MUSIC TO TRACI! Hudson: Oh no... he just went too far! Michaels picks up the mic. Michaels: Tell you how I'm feeling HOW I'M FEELING?! He pauses. Michaels: Why don't I show you instead. Michaels grabs a chair from ringside and re-enters. He lays the steel into the ribs of Van Dam as the fans jeer. Hudson: Oh, this is awful! Michaels: Let me be clear... I am done with you, I am done with your little "Robbie". The Whole F**kin' Show was a waste of a year of my life and every one of you fans who cheered us can stick it! You were just cheering a lowpoint in my career! Michaels storms to the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg The Hardcore Innovators start strongly against the Thomasellis. The match quickly turns hardcore which Cactus Jack and Dreamer use to their advantage. However, Vito runs in, chair in hand. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli3.jpg He levels Dreamer with the chair... ...and swings at Cactus. But Cactus ducks and trading of blows ensues. Rhino slides in out of nowhere. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg GORE TO VITO! AND TO SAL! Chris Hero sprints to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg He lays his boot into an already unconscious Vito as Rhino brawls with Brandon. Mark Calaway now strides to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg As Taker hits the ring all-out chaos begins amongst the men in the ring. Referee John Finnegan has no choice but to call a no contest. Match Rating: B- Show Rating: B-

The show I've been waiting to write Saturday, week 4, January <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CAG2VMI-ZTY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoeyStyles.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tazz.jpg Joey: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the first instalment of ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers after Living Dangerously. I'm Joey Styles and, alongside me as always is former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. Man, is there gonna be some fallout from last night. Joey: Absolutely, Taz. The most tumultuous of times seem to have begun here in Extreme Championship wrestling. There is friction in the Nest; a doppelganger of Juventud Guerrera cost Rob Van Dam the World Television Title. Taz: Yeah... and the Thomaselli brothers appear to have taken Shane Douglas hostage. Joey: We can only hope that these situations resolve themselves here tonight. But, before any of that, we are set to witness the debut of Low Ki. Taz, with access your sources, and your knowledge of world wrestling, what can you tell us about this kid. Taz: Well, I know he's been tearing it up in Japan lately and, before that, he had a storied career in the U.S. independents. But I think its best if his ring work speaks for itself. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LowKi.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpg The two men put on a solid opening match despite their lower name value. Low Ki makes an impressive start, taking the fight to Tajiri. "The Japanese Buzzsaw" mounts a comeback by the sixth minute. However, Low Ki manages to corner Tajiri and land a series of stiff chops. Tajiri falls to the mat and Low Ki goes in for the kill. He locks in a Dragon Sleeper. Tajiri has no choice but to tap. Match Rating: C+ Backstage, Sal and Brandon Thomaselli drag what is presumably Shane Douglas behind them. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg Douglas' hands are tied behind him and he has a dark back over his head. Sal opens the door to a small room backstage. He enters and pulls a chair into the middle of the room. Brandon pushes Douglas into the chair. Sal: You stay the hell there! Brandon: We have plans for you later, old man! The camera cuts back to ringside. Joey: Oh my god. What do they have planned? Taz: I dunno, Joey. But I don't like the look of it! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JushinThunderLyger.jpg The two veterans put on a great match that, frankly, deserves to be higher up the card. The chain wrestling and psychology on display is very impressive. In the twelfth minute, Lyger heads up to the top rope looking for the 450 Splash. But Guerrero gets his knees up and Lyger is badly winded. Eddie makes the cover. 1... And he gets his feet on the ropes for extra leverage. 2...3! Match Rating: B+ Joey: That's a shame! That's a real shame! After such an entertaining match, with such great competition, why did Eddie have to pull a stunt like that? Taz: Some guys will do anything to win, Joey... just like Chris Hero this week. We may not like it but, if you don't get caught, it works! The Nest makes its way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpg CM Punk grabs a microphone before entering. Punk: I am not out here to address the fans. I am out here to address the troops... to address you guys. Punk points at the Nest's other members. Punk: But I wan to do this publicly so that I can make a statement. There may be issues in the ranks but they end now. RIGHT NOW! He pauses to gather himself. Punk: What happened last night was an absolute disgrace! The Nest was involved in three matches at Living Dangerously and we lost all three! The Crowd applauds ironically. Punk: Yeah, yeah... very funny. I'm sure you idiots do appreciate it but that only speaks to your lack of standards. The Nest is not supposed to lose! You disgraced yourselves and you disgraced the memory of the greatest champion in ECW history, Rav... Goliath snatches the mic from Punk. The leader of the Nest looks shocked. Goliath: Oh, would you shut the f**k up! The crowd cheers. Taz: Wow. Joey: This should be interesting! Goliath: Raven is gone! He's been gone for months now and he's not coming back but still you drone on like a lovesick puppy! Punk screams: "You shut your mouth!" Goliath: No punk... my turn to talk. You run your mouth over and over and never once thing to accept any culpability at all for our failings. Where the hell were you last night? Why couldn't you, oh great disciple of the greatest champion... why couldn't you help. If there's a problem in this group... and I'm not saying there isn't... maybe it starts at the top. Punk smirks and takes a few paces to consider what has been said. He slaps Goliath. The giant looks furious. Joey: Oh my... Taz: That may be the dumbest thing Punk has ever done. Goliath picks up Punk in a military press and throws him high over the ropes onto the steel guard rail. The crowd erupts. The Briscoes immediately jump Goliath. Alexis seems unwilling while Abyss hand=gs back cradling his head and shaking. Joey: Look at Abyss! Taz: I think he's confused Joey. Goliath throws the Briscoes over the ropes one-by-one and Alexis decides to get out of harms way. Punk grabs a microphone on the outside. Punk: Abyss, get him! Show him the price of dissension! The monster carries on shaking, hiding his face. Goliath: Abyss, listen... you're a monster! You're a behemoth! You... we... could be taking ECW by storm but all we've done for the last year is play bodyguard to a series of ungrateful, power hungry idiots! Punk: Don't listen to him! Show him the error of his ways! Goliath: Abyss, please! The monster rolls out of the ring, without looking at any of his allies. He runs up the aisle-way and to the back as though he has seen a ghost. Paul Heyman steps out at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Forget Abyss! I'm not missing this opportunity! Tonight it will be Goliath versus the Briscoe Boys in a handicap match! Punk... let's see how much your little cult can't withstand, shall we? ECW Undisputed World Tag Team Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpg The Second Generation of Dudleys come out swinging ad dominate the match. The True World Order never see much in the way of offence. In the tenth minute, STD makes Stevie tap to the Boston Crabs. Match Rating: C+ As STD and Dick Jr. head to the back, Stevie grabs a microphone. Stevie: This isn't working for us! When Sasuke and I teamed up we thought we could do away with the Blue World Order versus Sasuke World Order nonsense. But teaming together just isn't working and we're still stuck in the low midcard. Now, we're not gonna disband this team but we are gonna make a change. So, next week on Revolution, expect us to make a statement! Paul Burchill comes running down a corridoor backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg He bursts in through the door of the room the Thomaselli brothers left Douglas in. Burchill: Shane! Burchill whips the bag of Douglas' head. But it is just a clothes store mannequin under the bag. Burchill cries out in anger... as the door shuts behind him. The camera cuts to the outside of the room, where Sal and Brandon lock the door and wedge a chair against it. Sal: Burchill, man... Vito was right. You are predictable as hell! You really think we'd leave such a precious cargo in such a vulnerable situation? Brandon: Haha, we just wanted to makes ure you wouldn't interrupt our plans for tonight! The camera cuts back to ringside. Taz: I don't know about you, Joey, but I'm getting more and more nervous about this. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpg Goliath dominates the early going. He uses his sheer size and strength to bully the Briscoe brothers. But, before long, CM Punk runs in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Goliath predicts his arrival, though, and Punk is met with a Big Boot. Punk is lifted up for a huge Chokeslam. Joey: My god, the impact. Jay Briscoe runs at the giant... CHOKESLAM! Mark follows suit... CHOKESLAM! Goliath covers Mark with one foot. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B- Taz: Goliath is a force to be reckoned with! Joey: And now he seems free of the Nest, Taz, who knows what he's capable of. Taz: Well he's a former ECW World Champion, Joey... so my best guess is, well... anything! Rob Van Dam makes his way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg RVD: Juvi, get the hell out here right now! Sure enough, the World Television Champion walks to the ring with Francine. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg RVD: That little stunt you pulled last night... I expected better from you, Juvi. But, then, with the way you've been acting lately, I guess I should have known. Juvi: Rob, man, I swear to god that I had nothing to do with last night. RVD: You expect me to believe that? Juvi: Rob... I can't make you believe anything but it's exactly like I've told you. I wasn't involved with what happened last night AND I haven't attacked you. Not once! RVD: Then who the hell has?! Juvi: Another guy in my mask showing up should have been a clue, man. It's not me! Suddenly, the second Juvi appears from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg He slides into the ring and floors Van Dam with a fist from behind. Joey: Oh, come on! Another cheap shot! RVD rises to look at the masked man and is met with a Super Kick! The masked Juvi pulls off the mask. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels3.jpg Taz: No way! Joey: It's Shawn Michaels! But why?! The Television champion and Francine leave the ring, clearly wanting no part of this. Michaels: It was me the whole time Rob! The crowd boos. Taz: What the hell? I thought they settled all the beef between them at November To Remember! Joey: Apparently not. Michaels: You want to know why? Because teaming up with you was the worst mistake of my life! Now we've broken apart, you're more over than ever. These fans chant your initials and will you on to title reigns. But look at me... They've forgotten about me! Joey: Forgotten about him?! Who has?! Taz: I certainly haven't and I don't think any of these fans have! Michaels: I'm sat at home with almost a month away from ECW television and I know exactly why. Because you, Rob, these fans, Paul E... you all think it's time for me to retire. Taz: What the hell is he talking about?! Michaels: You've seen Sabu and The Sandman hang 'em up and, now, your thinking that The Whole F**kin' Show was just a way for Shawn Michaels to pass the torch to RVD. Joey: ...and who the hell thinks that?! Taz: He's lost his mind, Joey. Michaels: Well, I'm a former ECW World Champion, damn it! I was right up until when we started teaming. And since then, I've been stuck in stupid situations with the bWo and carried your talentless ass, Rob, through one of the longest tag title reigns in recent years. Well, no more! My time isn't over! I ain't done! And I'm not gonna let you bury me. Taz: Bury him?! He's gone crazy, Joey. I swear. Joey: Either that or this is another one of their spats. Taz: Pretty harsh language for a spat, don't ya think? Joey: Have you seen these two bicker before? Taz: Fair point. Michaels storms to the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Jericho and Angle combine for a solid main event. It is a back-and-forth affair in which both men see plenty of offence. In the fifteenth minute, Angle picks up the pinfall following an Angle Slam. Match Rating: B+ The Iron Saints head to the ring, dragging another bound man behind them. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg Joey: That must be Douglas! It was all just a decoy before! Taz: They are sneaky little rats, Joey. But I'm more nervous about what they've got planned for Douglas now they've brought him out here. As Sal, picks up a mic from ringside, Brandon sets up a chair and places Douglas on it. Sal: Yes it us... Sal and Brandon Thomaselli. The Thomaselli brothers are back in ECW! There is a chorus of boos. Sal: The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that Vito is not with us. He's not here tonight. He didn't want to risk being here when Paul Burchill was bound to be in a bad mood! Joey: A "bad mood"?! Is that what he's calling it?! Sal: But let me tell you why we are here. We are here because our brother's words touched us. Taz: Aww.. how about that? Shucks... idiots! Sal: He's called out ECW and the booking team here on their sh*t and it's about time someone did! You know all about his complaints... Taz: Yeah, we really do. Joey: So please don't list them again! Taz: Exactly! Sal: Brandon... tell them about us. Brandon: Last time you saw us we got stuck in some stupid angle about the presidential election. "Uncle Sal", here, was running for office for the "green" party. Y'know, the height of intellectual comedy that Paul E specialises in... Taz: What an ungrateful idiot! Jeers ring out. Brandon: Then came the kicker. After a few weeks, they realised how sh*tty their own idea was and took us off TV because we got... He makes the most obvious and obnoxious inverted commas ever seen with his fingers. Brandon: ..."injured". The jeers continue. Brandon: Yeah, just like our brother Vito, we had some crappy storyline injury put on us and, also just like him, we've been held back for far too long! But, now, we're gonna take our rightful place at the top of this industry and we have a bargaining chip. The brothers turn to face the prone Douglas. Joey: Oh no! Douglas struggles in the chair, trying to free his hands but to no avail. Brandon: You see... now we know, "The New Franchise" is caged up like he should be, we're not leaving this ring until we get what we want. Backstage Paul Heyman runs down a corridoor. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg He finds the door which Burchill is locked behind, removes the chair and unlocks the door. Burchill: Paul E! Heyman: Sorry, kid. It took me this long to find where you were. Burchill: Don't worry. Thank you! Heyman: They're in the ring. Go f**k 'em up for me! Burchill sprints off as the camera cuts back to ringside. Sal: What we want are the title shots that we deserve. Each Thomaselli brother deserves a belt around his waist. Vito, of course, deserves the shot at the World Title that he has been so unjustly denied and we... The camera cuts backstage again as Kelly Thomaselli bumps into Paul Heyman. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Kelly: Paul E... have you seen Paul? I have to talk to him. Heyman: Burchill? Yeah... he's on his way to the ring. You may want to wait a while. Kelly looks teary. Kelly: What my brothers did... I had no idea. I don't... She bursts into tears. Heyman: Hey, hey... it's okay... it'll all be okay soon. Again, the camera cuts back to the ring. Sal: If those demands are not met... Well, it's very simple... Paul Burchill bursts through the curtain and sprints to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg The crowd erupts as the Thomaselli Brothers slide out of the ring. Joey: Here comes "The New Franchise!" and the response is deafening! Taz: Have you ever seen two cowards run so fast? The camera cuts backstage again to Heyman and Kelly. Heyman: Are you okay kid? Kelly: Yeah, I'm fine. I just have to see Paul. I shouldn't have walked out in him like that. I should have seen what my brother was doing! Suddenly, muffled shouting can be heard from a corridoor cupboard. Heyman: What the hell is that? Kelly looks bewildered. Heyman: It's coming from in there! Heyman pulls the door open. A gagged Shane Douglas falls out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg Kelly: Shane?! Are you okay?! She removes the gag as Heyman looks stunned. Douglas: I'm fine... the ring! In the ring! Burchill! The penny drops with Paul Heyman. Heyman: Oh, god no! The camera cuts back to ringside. Burchill slides in and whips the bag off the captive in the ring. Beneath the bag is Vito Thomaselli. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli3.jpg The Italian immediately punches Burchill in the gut. Taz: What the hell?! Joey: It was a set-up! His hands weren't tied! Suddenly, Sal and Brandon slide back in. Sal throws a wire around Burchill's neck from behind and proceeds to strangle him. Joey: Oh my god! Taz: This is sick, Joey! Sal pulls Burchill to the canvas with the garotte as his victim can be heard choking. Brandon lays boots into the "New Franchise" at the same time. Meanwhile, Vito slides out to ringside and grabs a baseball bat. Taz: Oh no! Joey: God, no! Taz: Someone stop this! Joey: Everyone's backstage, Taz! It was a trap! Upon re-entering Vito lands several sickening strikes of the baseball bat to Burchill's ribs. Only when "The New Franchise" is completely motionless does Sal release the wire. Brandon drags Burchill over to a corner and ties him to the ropes with the strapping that had been used to "tie up" Vito. Vito then proceeds to batter Burchill some more with the Baseball bat. Joey: Stop it! God almighty! Stop! Taz: Burchill's bleeding, Joey! Vito drops the bat and smiles like a man possessed. He kneels down nose-to-nose with the unconscious Burchill and screams at him. "I F**KING HATE YOU PAUL! I HATE EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR! I SHOULD F**KING END YOU RIGHT HERE!" He then lays several fists into the face of his unconscious rival, blood flying from the impact. Finally he steps away. Rather than boos, being heard there is a deathly silence that falls over the arena. Kelly Thomaselli appears at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg Upon coming through the curtain, she sees what has happened. She falls to her knees and sobs. Vito grabs a microphone. Vito: Kelly... sis... you didn't have to see this! If you'd have stayed away like I thought you would, this would have been between me and him. Kelly looks up and screams tearily down the aisle-way. "YOU BASTARD! YOU BASTARD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" She slowly returns to her feet and stumbles towards the ring as EMTs rush past her. Taz: Thank god there's finally some medical assistance out here! How long does it take?! The EMTs strap Burchiil to a stretcher and attach a respirator to aid his breathing as Kelly reaches his unconscious body. She lays her head on his chest and sobs uncontrollably. Vito: Kelly... It's for the family. We can all be together again now. Kelly looks up and glares a look of sheer hatred at her brother. She enters the ring. Vito goes to hug her. She slaps her brother. Taz: Oh my god! Vito tries to console her. She slaps him again. And again. Her brothers do not intervene. Vito's face starts to redden and become scratched. She slaps him again. And she collapses, sobbing onto his shoulder. Vito: Shhh... Shhh... It's okay. I've got you know. Kelly's muffled voice can be heard. "You bastard, Vito!" Vito hugs his inconsolable sister as the camera feed cuts out. Show Rating: B-

I'm Joey Styles alongside Don Callis and former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro as always, Joey. Callis: Great to be here. Joey: Tonight, we will witness the first "shoot fight" in ECW history as well as contests for not just the Undisputed Tag Team Titles but also the Lioness, Television and World Heavyweight Championships! Taz: I have no idea what this so called "shoot fight" will entail, Joey but I'm pumped to find out. Callis: The only thing I'm more excited about, Taz, is seeing Mark Calaway wipe the smirk off Chis Hero's face! Taz: If his knee's alright after Monday. Callis: A fair point. Joey: And even our non-title matches should provide some fantastic action. Two dominant forces will meet as "The Man Beast" takes on ECW's "New Main Event". Taz: Should be off the hook, Joey! I can't wait for Rhino and Hatred! Callis: But our first contest sees the Original Dudleys, representing the Dudleyville Dynasty, take on Monsters Inc., representing the Nest. Joey: And, with that said... Taz: ...let's get to it! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg The Dudleys take an early advantage, capitalising on their years of tag team experience. They take the fight to the Monsters, effectively isolating Abyss from his corner and slowly picking him apart. However, in the seventh minute, Abyss makes the tag to Goliath who comes in and cleans house. That is until D-Von grabs a chair from ringside and blasts the monster in the back. Goliath turns to face him, seemingly unaffected but Bubba jumps on his back applying a sleeper hold. He wrestles Goliath down to his knees, still applying the submission... ...and then down to the mat. CM Punk comes running out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Callis: ...and predictably, the Nest rely on the numbers game. Joey: Some things never change. He slides in and takes out D-Von with an elbow to the skull. Bubba releases the hold on Goliath and runs at Punk, looking for a Clothesline. Punk ducks and kicks Bubba in the gut... GTS! Three Dudleys emerge from the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VoodooDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg Taz: Well, for the first time, I think the Nest is outnumbered. Callis: Of course they are, Taz. No one can outnumber the Dudleys. Not with the rate at which they procreate! The female contingent of Dudleyville slide and start to lay a beatdown on Punk to rapturous cheers from the crowd. Ultimo Dudley II grabs a singapore cane from ringside. He slides in as Abyss tries to cut him off... Cane shot to the monster! And again! And Again! Abyss collapses to the mat. Abyss starts to rise as Daizy and Voodoo slide a table into the ring. Bubba sets up the table and heads up the turnbuckle. Daizy, Voodoo and Ultimo head up the remaining turnbuckles. Taz: What the hell is this?! D-Von boots Abyss in the gut and just about lifts him from the mat for a second. All four remaining Dudleys jump from their turnbuckles and land in a heap on Abyss' shoulders, driving him through the table with tremendous force. "ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!" Joey: OH MY GOD! Taz: Is that... is that a 4D? A 3D? Callis: I've no idea. You could always ask Abyss. As Goliath starts to rise, Ultimo Dudley II slides another table in and sets it up. D-Von boots the giant in the gut and, with help from his brother, Bubba, just about manages to lift the behemoth. Ultimo Dudley II runs in and drives Goliath head first through the table. Taz: Another 3D! D-Von now exits the ring, sliding a third table in. Bubba sets it up and the men stand back. Voodoo Dudley hoists CM Punk onto her shoulder and Daizy drives him through the table. Joey: Even the women are in on the act! Callis: We're not even through the first match and there have been three tables broken! Bubba covers Abyss... 1...2...3! Match Rating: B- Shane Douglas is backstage with his protege. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg Douglas: You ready, Franchise? Burchill: I think so. Douglas: Look... A phone starts ringing. Douglas: It's mine. Hang on. Sorry. He checks his phone. Douglas: It's Kelly. Burchill's eyes light up. Burchill: Give me the phone! Douglas: Hang on. He answers. Douglas: Hey, Kelly. Burchill looks on impatiently while his girlfriend and his mentor talk. Douglas: Okay, I'll tell him. Take care. He hangs up. Burchill: What the hell, Shane?! Douglas: She said she can't face speaking to you right now and I have to respect that... no offence. Burchill looks disgusted. Douglas: BUT... she said that, whilst she wishes the match wasn't happening, she really doesn't want to see you get hurt. So she said to tell you "good luck". Burchill smiles. Douglas: But you gotta focus! We can't afford any distractions tonight. The camera cuts back to ringside.

In the sixth minute she hits a Discus Clothesline. 1...2...kickout! Joey: That was close! Taz: Yeah and with the Monsters and Punk taken out earlier and the Briscoes having a tag title match later, I think Alexis may be on her own here. Alexis lands a thumb to the eye and starts to mount a come back. However, by the tenth minute, Nathalie has regained control. She locks in the Sharpshooter at 11:14 and Alexis is forced to tap. Match Rating: C+ Joey: Nathalie is still the Lioness Champion, ladies and gentlemen, after a submission victory over her former partner in the Nest! On their way to the ring for their match, The Briscoes pass their stable partners. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Jay: You guys in shape to spring us if we're in trouble? Abyss shoots daggers at Jay. Goliath: It's your title shot, boys! You're on your own! Mark: Wait, what?! Goliath: You heard! The camera cuts back to ringside. Joey: Wow did you hear that?! Taz: I sure did. Callis: Descension in the ranks!

The Second Generation take the early momentum. Taz: Now, see, this would usually be where the monsters appear. But the monsters don't come and the Briscoes are in trouble. By the ninth minute, the Briscoes do start to mount a comeback, isolating STD in their corner. However, cleverly exploiting the new"lucha tag rule" of ECW's CoDE, he manages to slip under the ropes to ringside, making Dick Jr. the legal man. ECW's balbutient behemoth comes striding through the ropes. Jay tries to cut him off... TOTAL PENETRATION! Mark Briscoe clubs Dick in the back from behind and they brawl their way out to ringside, returning STD to legal man status. STD slides bcak in and grabs Jay by the legs. Callis: He's looking for it! STD succesful applies the Boston Crabs! Taz: Jay Briscoe's got Crabs! Jay has no choice but to tap. The Second Generation retain their titles. Match Rating: C+ RVD and Traci are backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg Traci: Tonight's the night to get Juvi back for the cheapshots, Robbie. RVD: Oh, I know, Trace. RVD doesn't get mad; het gets even... and he stays cool when he does it. Tonight, the TV Title comes home to everyone's favourite wrestler... Traci: ...and mine... RVD: Rob Van Dam! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg Like old times, Nate Hatred brings his steel pentagram wrapped in barbed wire to the ring. Hatred immediately shows he means business, setting about Rhino with clenched fists. Soon, an all-out fist fight has ensued. Meanwhile, The Sinister Minister throws all manner of weapons into the ring. Hatred picks up a trash can lid and moulds it into the shape of Rhino's forehead. Taz: Damn... Hatred sets up an ironing board vertically in the corner. He then whips Rhinointo it and boots him through it. A baseball bat is his next weapon of choice, which he uses to re-arrange Rhino's internal organs. He then whips his opponnent to the ropes fbut it is reversed. Hatred rebounds straight into a Back Body Drop. Rhino beats his chest and roars. Joey: Big Back Body Drop! Rhino grabs the Baseball bat and blasts it several times into Hatred's ribs. Taz: No wonder we save this for pay-per-view! Mitchell taunts Rhino from ringside. "The Man Beast" goes to confront him but Mitchell throws white powder through the ropes. Callis: Rhino is blinded! Joey: Not only does he have to take on this monster he has to deal with the damn Minister at ringside. Taz: Well, he didn't have to, Joey. Don't forget... he challenged Hatred. Now, that's balls for ya! As "The Man Beast" tries to clear his eyes, his opponent returns to standing. A second all-out brawl negins which spills out to ringside. After several minutes, the use of chairs, singapore canes and guardrails has started to take its toll on both men. Back in the ring, Rhino races at Hatred for a Clothesline but Hatred ducks underneath. He is instead greeted by a cane to the mid-scetion by Mitchell, who has jumped on the apron. He staggers around straight into Hatred... DECAPITATOR LARIAT! Joey: My god! That damn Clothesline! Taz: That's it; he's dead! Hatred covers as the jeers ring out. 1...2...kickout! Callis: No way! Taz: Yes way, Callis! He did it! Joey: Rhino is the first man to EVER kickout out of Nate Hatred's Decapitator! For the first time ever, a visible emotion other than rage can be seen on Hatred's face. Callis: Look at the montser! He looks... he looks... Joey: Worried? Callis: Maybe. Mitchell screams from ringside "AGAIN, NATHAN! AGAIN!". Hatred picks up Rhino. Taz: He's out on his feet, Joey. DECAPITATOR LARIAT! Joey: Oh, god! 1...2...kickout! The cheers are deafening. Callis: Unbelievable! Taz: It's just instinct now, Callis! I know that place I've been to it. I hate to say it but I'm sure this is only a matter of time! Irritated, Hatred picks up Rhino again and now whips him to the ropes. Taz: Oh no... with extra momentum, this'll kill him. Rhino rebounds... DECAPITATOR LARIAT! NO! Rhino ducks. He rebounds again. GORE! Joey: GORE! GORE! GORE! Callis: That wasn't instinct, Taz! Taz: This man is a freak of nature, I swear to god! Callis: A "Man Beast" if you will... Taz: Well, exactly! Rhino pounds his chest again as Mitchell looks shocked. Rhino covers. 1...2...kickout! Taz: This is insane! Rhino stands up, clearly tired. And he is met with another caneshot from Mitchell, this time to the back of the head. Rhino turns around, more furious than phased. GORE! Joey: And the Sinister Minister is down! Rhino slides out to ringside and sets up a table. Taz: Uh-oh! He re-enters and drags Hatred through the ropes to the apron. Taz: Here it comes. RHINO DRIVER THROUGH THE TABLE TO THE CONCRETE! "ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!" Rhino drapes an arm over Hatred, capitalising on the new falls count anywhere rule in ECW. 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Callis: He did it! He broke the streak! Joey: Nate Hatred suffers his first loss in nearly a year at Living Dangerously! Vito Thomaselli sits alone in a corridoor backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Vito: I am sick and tired of the backstage politics that has held me back! I am sick and tired of the stupid f**king storylines Heyman insists on booking me in! I am sick and tired of needing to watch an arrogant bastard like Paul Burchill... who refuses to do the job for his peers... laud it over the whole company! I am sick and tired of you ignorant fans who actually buy into all this crap! And I am sick and tired of drowning in the midcard and being denied my rightful world title reign! He sighs and smirks. Vito: But no matter. All of that frustration... all of the months and months of disappointment are going to be taken out on that politicking piece of sh*t! Tonight, "Franchise", you pay! And that's a promise. ECW World Television Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpg The two spend a little time squaring each other up. Suddenly, RVD falls backwards, rebounds off the ropes and hits a thunderous Wheel Kick! Callis: Well, it looks like this match is well and truly under way! Taz: Oh, man, you gotta watch out for those feet of Van Dam! As Juvi rises he stuns Van Dam with a straight right hand and attempts a Powerbomb which is reversed into a Hurricanrana. 1...2...kickout! Leaving Juvi no time for recovery, Van Dam hits a Rolling Thunder. 1...2...kickout! RVD then leaps leaps to the top rope and waits for his opponent to stand. Flying Superkick! 1...2...kickout! Taz: Oh, man, Guerrera may not know what he's got himself into here. The challenger then mounts the champion and hits some Crossface Blows. He then gets to his feet and hits a Legdrop to the back of the his neck. He lifts Juvi to his feet and whips him to the corner. He goes for a Turnbuckle Shoulder Charge but Guerrera is able to trap him in a Front Facelock. The champion climbs backwards up the ropes. Tornado DDT! 1...2...kickout! Taz: Wow, this is awesome already! The match continues as an evenly contested, high-paced affair. In the thirteenth minute, RVD again traps Juvi in the corner and, this time, is able to lay in the boots until he is sitting against the bottom buckle. Traci chucks him a chair from ringside. Skateboard Dropkick! RVD then drags the champion to the middle of the ring and bounds up the turnbuckle. Five Star Frog Splash! No, Styles gets his knees up. Both competitors are laid out, exhausted. Taz: That could've been it right there but Juvi scouted it. Upon returning to their feet, Guerrera whips RVD into the corner. RVD jumps straight up to the top and flips backwards over the champion. Guerrera then runs forward up the buckle to the second rope and jumps, turning to hit a Cross Body on the challenger. 1...2... RVD rolls through. 1...2...kickout. Both men rise. RVD goes for a clothesline. Juvi blocks it and hits a quicksnap DDT. The challenger then picks up the chair. Callis: This could spell trouble for Van Dam. However, RVD leaps to his feet in one movement. Van Daminator! Taz: This is crazy. Suddenly, a masked man appears over the barricade. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg Taz: What the hell?! Callis: Is that another Juvi?! Joey: Well, whoever it is, he's in Juvi's mask. The masked Guerrera grabs another chair from ringside and slides in, unknown to RVD. Van Dam turns right into a chair shot. Joey: Oh god! Callis: Who the hell is this?! Taz: I've no idea, Callis! The masked man picks up Van Dam and DDTs him on the steel and leaves as quickly as he arrived. Guerrera comes to, seemingly oblivious to what has happened. He climbs the turnbuckle. 450 Splash! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Taz: I don't get it! Did Juvi plan this?! Callis: Do you mean are they in cahoots, Taz? No one knows! Rhino is backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg He screams into the camera. Rhino: LET THAT BE A LESSON TO ANYONE WHO DARES CROSS THE MAN BEAST! EVEN A PREVIOSULY UNDEFEATED MONSTER CAN'T BEAT ME! AND I DON'T CARE WHO WINS THE TITLE MATCH TONIGHT! WHOEVER IT IS, I'M COMING FOR YOU! ECW World Heavyweight Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg Calaway immediately starts the match with a Big Boot which sends Hero to the mat. The champion springs up only to be met by a clubbing blow. Hero again returns to his feet and lands a punch. No! Taker catches it and lands a punhc of his own... ...and another... ...and another... ...and clotheslines the champion out to ringside. Taz: Oh man, "The Soul Taker" means business tonight! Joey: He has never captured the ECW World Championship but he looks determined to here tonight! Rather than wait for the champion to return to the ring, Taker follows him out. He slams Hero's face into the guard rail... ...and then into the rin apron. He lays Hero under the ropes with his head hanging of the apron... ...and hits a vicious elbow across the throat. The champion tumbles back out to the concrete. Taker picks up the champion... Powerbomb on the concrete! 1...2...kickout! Taz: Well, you've got to hand it to Hero for kicking out there! He's taken a beating already. Calaway rolls the champion back in. Big Leg Drop! He then grans Hero by the arm and climbs up the turnbuckle. He walks along the top rope. But Hero shoves him off and Calaway goes crashing to the floor, catching his face on the guard rail! Joey: Oh god! Taz: Again... like him or loathe him, this Hero kid has got talent.. That's ring awareness right there, Joey. Unable to capitalise, Hero uses the time to recover slightly. Taker makes his way back in. Another Big Boot... No! Hero ducks underneath and, as the deadman turns around, Hero catches him with a Discus Elbow. It rocks the giant who staggers back against the ropes. Hero boots him in the knee and Taker screams out in pain. Taz: That's the knee Hero injured on Monday! Another kick to the knee. Taz: The champion has a gameplan here. Callis: I think he needs one! The match continues as a more even affair as Taker uses his strength and size advantage but Hero focuses on the damaged knee. In the sixteenth minute, Taker picks up Hero in a body press and throws him out to ringside. Clearly hurt, Hero crawls til he is sat up against the corner of the ring outside, catching his breath. As Taker leaves the ring to meet him, Hero makes it to his feet, still leaning against the ring post. Taker charges at him, and lifts his foot... ...Hero moves and Calaway jars his leg agains the ring post, again screaming in pain. Taz: That'll be the knee again. As Calaway collapses in pain, Hero lands several stomps to the bad knee. The Champion drags Taker back in, again hitting stomps to the knee. And locks in a knee bar. Callis: Oh, this could be trouble! Taz: And this is very smart by Hero! Taker writhes in pain but won't tap. Joey: Can he hold on? Hero clamps the hold on harder. And Taker taps the mat. Match Rating: A Callis: No way! "The Soul Taker" tapped out! Taz: His knee was out, Callis. He is human and there's only so much anyone can take. Joey: And the talking point is that Chris Hero retains his title by... well, by defeating Mark Calaway via submission! Taz: The assault in on Monday may have been underhanded but, in ECW, you do what you've got to do to stay on top against the best in the world. And Hero has done just that! Paul Heyman comes to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: I want to be perfectly clear here... what you fans do with the next, let's say, hour.... is up to you. But that was the main event of ECW Living Dangerously. The official card for this evening is over. So, I want all referees; all ring crew; everyone in the back. Boys... He looks up at the announcer's in the crow's nest. Heyman: ...that means you too. Joey: Well, thank you for joining us for Living Dangerously, ladies and gentlemen. Taz: The action tonight has been amaziing, Joey. Callis: ...and as for what comes next? Taz: Who knows? Joey: Good night, ladies and gentlemen. "Shoot Fight" http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Thomaselli makes his entrance first and he uses this to his advantage, assaulting "The New Franchise" before he has even made it to the ring. A back-and-forth brawl erupts in the aisle-way. Vito lands a lowblow and seizes the opportunity to take the advantage. He grabs a chair and slams into the head of his "friend", Paul Burchill. He picks up the "New Franchise" and suplexes him onto the chair. He drags him up by the hair and throws him itno the electrical equipment by the entrance-way. Sparks fly as Burchill convulses in a heap. Slowly, Burchill starts to crawl from amidst the wires, only to be met by a stomp to the head. Vito picks him up and slams him into the entrance-way steps. The beatdown continues for several minutes. In the eighth minute, Vito drags Burchill up the stairs that lead to the announce position and slams him onto the announce table. He climbs on the table, booting Burchill in the gut. He hooks him up for a DDT... ...but Burchill reverses into a Northern Lights Suplex through the announce table. Groggily, Burchill gets to his feet. Vito follows and blows are exchanged. Vito goes to land a haymaker. But Burchill ducks underneath and picks up Thomaselli in a Fireman's carry. He walks to the side of the fifteen foot high platform and lifts Vito into a Military Press. Vito Thomaselli is launched off the announce position through a table to the concrete fifteen foot below. "HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!" Burchill slowly climbs down the announce steps to meet his adversary but he is cut-off. Two familiar faces emerge from behind the curtain. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg Salvatore and Brandon Thomaselli immediately assault Burchill, reigning blows down on him in a 2-on-1 attack. As Burchill falls to the floor, the boots from Vito's brothers commence. They pick up the "New Franchise". Doible Brainbuster on the concrete! Shane Douglas sprints out from the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg But he is immediately cut-off by Sal and Brandon and another 2-on-1 assault begins. The fans jeer in disgust at the ambush as Vito slowly comes to. Brandon hits Douglas with a DDT on the concrete as Vito picks up Burchill. VITO DRIVER! Sal Thomaselli pulls a chord and a piece of cloth from his trunks. He uses the chord to bind Douglas' hands together and then gags him with the cloth. As Vito lays boots into the "New Franchise", Brandon hoists a defenceless Shane Douglas onto his shoulder. Sal sticks a bag over Douglas' head and all three Thomaselli brothers leave, taking Douglas with them. The fans jeer as Burchill is left out cold.

However, the stakes have quickly increased as the beatdowns and blindsides have occurred. This match is not only an opportunity to prove who the better team is, it is also designed to keep the chances of outside interference in the Undispute Tag Team Championship Match later in the night lower.

The Nest's newest members in Jay and Mark Briscoe have the chance to make their first major splash in the tag team division by defeating the Second Generation of Dudleys. But with their pedigree (if you can really call that) for tag team wrestling Slyk Tayshaun "STD" Dudley and "Big" Dick Dudley Jr. are sure to put up one hell of a defence.

Sabu, The Sandman and Masato Tanaka are at the top of the list and he also has a handicap match victory over Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer. The monster is seemingly unstoppable. But, then, he has never faced Rhino. To get a sense of how dominant "The Man Beast" is consider one thing... he requested this match! Feeling he was screwed out of the World Title by The Nest last year, he narrowly lost his long-awaited next shot at the title against Paul Burchill. But this is his chance to launch himself back into the title picture. Maybe there is method to his madness. Maybe. ECW World Television Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg Rob Van Dam vs. Juventud Guerrera http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg Rob Van Dam is a former Television Champion. At Living Dangerously, he has a chance to become champion again. The champion, meanhwile, has been behaving uncharacteristically. Despite claiming (and previously proving himself) to be a fighting champion he has used blindside attacks and underhand tactics to gain advantage against RVD. Will it be enough to secure the victory? ECW World Heavyweight Championship http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldBelt.jpg Mark Calaway vs. Chris Hero http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg A matter of respect? Or just a matter of who walks out victorious? For the past month, ECW has had a brash self-procalimed "saviour" for a World Champion. "The Soul Taker" originally challenged the champion in view of what Chris Hero had done to Vito Thomaselli at the Masters of Pain Finals. However, this has since become a matter of respect in his eyes. Chris Hero, meanwhile, has made it clear that, to him, this is merely a matter of retaining the title... by any means necessary. "Shoot Fight" Paul Burchill vs. Vito Thomaselli http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg We freely admit the concept of a "shoot fight" has a questionable history in the wrestling business and we do not know what to expect here. But we are not talking about eight sided cages here. Vito Thomaselli turned his back on his former friend Paul Burchill and greatly angered Paul Heyman and ECW management in the process. He revealed on live television that his broken wrist was a fake; nothing more than a storyline. And he revealed that his turn against Burchill was 100% legitimate. He was furious that, in his view, time and time again ECW management had favoured "The New Franchise" over him for the top spot in the company. He claims that he is a consumate wrestler while "The New Franchise" is a gimmick and nothing more. Burchill, understandably, has had enough and, thus, the newfound master of "shoot" promos finds himslef in a "shoot" match against his rival. Horrified by the concept, Burhcill's girlfriend and Vito's sister, Kelly Thomaselli has seemingly left the promotion. Burchill clearly blames Vito for that as well as disrespecting the business and ECW. There will be no refs; no rules; no mercy. Who the hell knows how this will end but we're sure it won't be pretty!

I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: Tonight is the last installment of ECW television before Living Dangerously where "The New Franchse" Paul Burchill will meet his former friend and ally in a... well... shoot fight. Gertner: The first we've ever seen in ECW, Scotty, and yet I'm still nit sure what it means exactly. Hudson: Well, according to Paul E, it means the cameras will still be running but, otherwise, there will be no involvement from ECW. No refs; no rules... Gertner: No mercy. Hudon: Exactly. And let's not forget that Chris Hero will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against "The Soul Taker" Mark Calaway. Gertner: And an immovable force will face an unstoppable object when Rhino meets Nate Hatred. Hudson: Err, Joel... it's an immovable object and an unstoppable force. Gertner: Oh, whatever, Scotty. Let's get to the action. The fans are tired of your yacking anyway. Hudson: It's my job. Gertner: What? Hudson: To yack... I mean... to commentate. Gertner: You said it.

You two kids are made for each other. Burchill scoffs. Burchill: Yeah... clearly. At least this way I can focus on kicking the snot out of her traitorous brother! Douglas: And you better had! Slimeball or not, Vito's got game! The camera cuts back to ringside. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpg ----------------------------------------------------------------vs http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg The two stables start brawling from the start with little to no regard for legal men or rules. Referee Jim Molineaux gives up trying to decipher who should be the legal men and just lets them go at it. The Second Generation of Dudleys make sure to get their hands on the Briscoes amid the chaos. In the twelfth minute, Bubba and D-von batter the Monsters out to ringside, followed by CM Punk. D-Von whips Mark Briscoe to the ropes as Dick Jr. does the same to Jay. D-Von and Dick both hoist a Briscoe onto their shoulder as Bubba and STD come sprinting in. DOUBLE 3D! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B- Slyk picks up a microphone. STD: Nest... you mo'f**kas screwed my mumma outta a Lioness title shot so now we gon damn well screw you at Living Dangerously! Briscoes... ain't no way you leavin' wit' our titles! He hands the microphone to his dimwitted cousin. Dick Jr: We're gonna squish you like... like ummm... like umm... like... little rugs! D-Von: You mean bugs, jackass. Slyk: Don't call him a jackass, pop. He's just a liitle slow. Dick Jr: It's okay Slyk... Dick stammers at a most inappropriate time. Dick Jr: ... he-haw... he-haw... he-hawlways calls me a jackass. Bubba: I wonder why. D-Von: Oh my crazy oriental nephew... TESTIFY! BANZAI: THOU SHAO NO F**K WITH THE DUDDEREES! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpg Calaway flat-out dominates from the beginning. In the tenth minute he picks up Stevie Richards by the throat and holds him in the air. Hudson: My god, the strength! Taker mouths: "This is for you, Chris". CHOKESLAM! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B The World Champion slides into the ring as soon as the bell rings. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg Hero blasts Taker in the back with the title belt. Hudson: Another blindside attack! Gertner: The ECW champions seem pretty intimidated right now, Scotty. Hudson: Wouldn't you be if you had to face Mark Calaway? The Champion drags Taker by the legs over to the turnbuckle. He jumps out to ringside and grabs Takers leg again. Gertner: Uh-oh! He slams Calaway's knee into the turnbuckle post. Hudson: Oh god! And again! Hero grabs a microphone. Hero: Taker, you seem to think our match is "a matter of respect". Well, let me set you right, "dead man". A title match is about one thing and one thing only... proving who the best in the world is. And the best in the world is me. I am the SAVIOUR of ECW! I am the SAVIOUR of pro wrestling! You see winning is all that matters to me and I will win by any means necessary. That is why I am the best; that is why I will beat you; and that is why I will leave Living Dangerously as I entered... as the World Heavyweight Champion. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg It is an extremely solid if unspectacular main event. Vito Thomaselli does his best to avoid Burchill for the entirety of the match. However, in the twelfth minute, Hatred and Rhino brawl their way to the outside with very little regard for the match. Forced into being the legal man under ECW's new CoDE rules, Vito gingerly approaches the man he screwed out of the title at Got Blood? Burchill lands a stiff punch. He goes for another... But Vito ducks... Low blow... No! Burchill stamps on his hand, anticipating foul play. Vito looks up at "The New Franchise" with his hand trapped under Burchill's foot. Burchill pulls Vito to standing and boots him in the gut... C-4! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Hudson: Burchill gets the pinfall over Vito heading into Living Dangerously. Gertner: True enough, Scotty. But on Friday night there will be no refs, no rules... anything can happen! Hudson: It will indeed be a very different scenario, unlike anything we've seen... even here in ECW. Gertner: And under those extreme conditions, my money's on the guy whose sicker in the head! Hudson: Meaning? Gertner: After what he's already done to his friend... a man he used to call a brother... who knows what Vito will do in a shoot fight?! Show Rating: B

I'm Joey Styles and, as always, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. Joey:Tonight we will see a rematch between the tag teams of the Nest and the Dudleyville Dynasty and, of course, Juventud Guerrera will defend his World Television Title. Taz: No doubt, Joey. But I'm most pumped to know how Paul E is gonna mediate this "shoot fight" between Burchill and Vito. Joey: Too true... I'm not sure any of us can predict how that will turn out but, also, let us not forget the upcoming World Heavyweight Title Match between Chris Hero and "The Soul Taker" Mark Calaway. Taz: Haha, I think Taker's gonna beat some damn respect into that kid! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulLondon.jpg London makes a good showing in the early going. But Punk soon takes the advantage, winning with a GTS in the eleventh minute. Match Rating: B- Juventud Guerrera is getting ready backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg Francine: You ready? Juvi: Hey, I beat Rey two weeks ago. No reason I shouldn't beat him tonight. Francine: And Living Dangerously? You ready for Rob Van Dam? Juvi: I'm ready for any opponent... any night. Francince seemibgly thinks for a second. Francine: So, did you take out Rob from behind the other week? Juvi: No. Francine: Really? Juvi: Reallly. Why would I do that? Rob's got something sending him loco. But, either way, I'm ready for him on Friday! Lioness Pack Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VoodooDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattyLioness.jpg Voodoo and Nathalie start as the legal women and the Lioness Champion does a good job of controlling the action. She takes the advantage over "Deja" and then Daizy when she is tagged in. After five minutes she looks to tag in Alexis... who steps off the apron to avoid the tag. Taz: Uh-oh. Joey: Alexis clearly does not consider this Nest reunion official. But, thinking on her feet, Nathalie slides out to ringside, making Alexis the legal woman under the new rules of the CoDE. The match continues as a fairly even display. In the tenth minute, Alexis hits the Alexis Effect on Voodoo... ...but she is hit from behind with the Lioness belt by her own partner. Nathalie drags Voodoo on top of Alexis. 1...2...3! Match Rating: C Smiling, Nathalie picks up a mic as she makes her way to the back. Nathalie: You want a title shot at Living Dangerously, Alexis? Well, I'll tell you what... you seem to have pissed off the Dudleys pretty bad and, since there is nothing more satisfying to me than seeing you and the rest of the Nest get your asses kicked, how about this? On Revolution, you and Voodoo can compete for the Number One Contendership. Whoever wins, I'll gladly face at Living Dangerously. Nate Hatred and The Sinister Minister are backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg Mitchell: Man Beast... Rhino... you better know that you are playing with fire this Friday. Well, fire and every other instrument of physical torture imaginable. Nathan, here, is ECW's Most Extreme Athlete bar none. He has ended the careers of Masato Tanaka; of The Sandman; of Sabu. And he would have out both Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer out of their misery if it were not for your unjustified involvement. Well, at Living Dangerously, you will pay for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong because you have never... NEVER faced a force like ECW's New Main Event, Nate Hatred. He will cripple your body before he breaks your spirit and you will be just another name on the list. The Sinister Minister lets out his trademark blood curdling laugh as the camera cuts back to ringside. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg The match is an all out brawl from the get go. Both sides see plenty of offence in an even display. In the twelfth minute, Bubba and D-Von hit the 3-D on Abyss. But CM Punk emerges from the crowd, chair in hand. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Punk hits STD in the back with the chair. The young Dudley stumbles forwards into a Jay Driller from Jay Briscoe. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B Joey: ...and the Nest steal one against the Dudleys. Taz: Yeah.... and now the Briscoes have got falls over both the first and second generations of Dudleys. The most hated music in ECW blares out. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Hero: A lot of you idiots seem to think that I am somehow "scared" of Mark Calaway. Cheers echo around the arena. Hero: Well, I am not scared. I promised to improve this stinking promotion one quality wrestling match at a time and that's exactly what I've done. Need I remind you that I defeated Paul Burchill... I won the Masters of Pain Tournament... I am the ECW World Heavyweight Champion and a Hero, such as myself, fears no one! Mark Calaway appears at the entrance way, mic in hand. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Taker brings the mic to his mouth and smiles. Rather than talk, he simply throws the mic down and strides to the ring. Panicked, Hero backs off to the ropes. Taker Pulls a bike chain from his pocket and lets it hang down to his side as he strides closer to the ring. Hero hurries out of the other side of the ring as Taker slides in. The World Champion escapes through the crowd as Calaway stares him down, giving a cut throat symbol. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg This match too starts as an all-out brawl, between Rhino and Nate Hatred. But, before long, the brawl between the behemoths spills to the outside. Rhino and Hatred brawl up the aisle-way leaving the Innovators and the tWo to compete in the ring. It is a relatively even match but the Hardcore Innovators win after hitting a Double DDT on Big Stevie Cool at 11:13. Match Rating: B- Vito Thomaselli walks to the ring to deafening jeers. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Vito: Well, it appears that Paul Burchill does have a spine after all. It took him three weeks but he is, finally, willing to meet me at Living Dangerously. But this is unlike any challenge he has ever faced. There are no storylines to hide his weaknesses; no angles to disguise his flaws. No... on Friday night it will be simple. I will kick the sh*t out of that prima donna mother f**ker! If you do... Vito is cut off as The New Franchise comes to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg Burchill: You went too far, Vito! You haven't just turned your back on me; you've brought ECW unto disrepute and now you've driven your own sister away. On Friday night, I'm going to male you pay for what y... Burchill is now cut off. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Well, then, it's finally set. You two are going to fight at Living Dangerously and, at last, I can look forward to at least one of you shutting your damn mouth! But, let's be clear, if you two want to "shoot", there is no athletic commission in the country that's going to let that fly. So, I'm not even going to try. If you two want to fight after the Main Event at Living Dangerously, I can't stop you. And if we happen to leave our cameras rolling, well... that's up to the producers. There will be no referees available to you; I will not put ECW employees in harm's way. After all, this will not be an ECW sanctioned match! Joey: It won't be sanctioned? Taz: I dunno, Joey... this sounds brutal! Vito and Burchill stare a hole in one another as the programme heads to break. World Television Championship Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg The two luchadores put on a solid main event of high flying, lucha libre action. Unsurprisingly, though, the champion retains a degree of control throughout. Guerrera wins with a 450 Splash in the fourteenth minute. Match Rating: B+ As the bell rings, RVD slides into the ring with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg As Guerrera turns around, RVD throws the chair at him. The champion catches it... ...Van Daminator! Taz: It's RVD! Joey: And these two will face off this Friday at Living Dangerously for the World Television Championship! Show Rating: B

When I'm talking, you shut your damn mouth and listen! I was winning world titles when you were still crying at your mother's teet. But, you see, you scrapping that rule makes no difference because "The Soul Taker" can school you in any environment... traditional rules or otherwise. And if you want to scrap the tradition, I think that just gives more opportunity for hardcore carnage. So, make no mistake, boy... at Living Dangerously... I will take you to hell!</p><p> </p><p> <em>Hero begins to look worried.</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Taker:</strong> What's the matter, boy? You look scared. And that's what I feed on.
