    Callis: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Don Callis...

    Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.

    Callis: We're almost there, folks. This is the last television broadcast before what will arguably be ECW's most historic pay-per-view in its fourteen year legacy!

    Gertner: Oh, Don, I can't wait to see who is the best team out of the Canadian Connection, Team Mexico and Team Japan!

    Callis: Yeah, and speaking of teams, can the Whole F**kin' Show reclaim their tag titles from the Iron Saints?

    Gertner: And don't forget about the final match in the Best-of-Seven Series between Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn.

    Callis: Nor Rhino's Two Out Of Three Falls match with The Sandman...

    Gertner: ...or The Franchise's opportunity to return to active competition as the World Champion.

    Callis: And on top of that, we have the Baptism of Fire match to look forward to, perhaps the most brutal and demonic match ever conceived.

    The two announcers pause.

    Gertner: Wow... I can't wait!

    The match is an even contest. the leaders of the bWo and sWo are clearly equal in abilities.

    In the eighth minute, Stevie gets the upper hand.

    He sets Sasuke up for the Stevie Kick but, surprisingly, decides against it, exits the ring and heads to teh back.

    Referee, John Finnegan, has no choice but to declare The Great Sasuke as the winner.

    Match Rating: B

     

    The Canadian Connection are backstage.

    Jericho: Eddie Guerrero, by my watch, you have about two minutes before our good friend and ally, Christian, kicks your ass nine ways to Sunday!

     

    Benoit: And as for you, Rey Mysterio and Juventud Guerrera, get ready to be taken to school. To hell with your fast-paced, lucha-libre, flippety-floppity bullsh*t; tonight, Jericho and myself are going to show you what real wrestling is.

     

    Jericho: And after we have embarassed, degraded and humiliated you in front of this sellout crowd, we're gonna do it all over again on Friday night in the Ultimate Jeopardy match!

     

    Benoit: The same goes for you Japanese comic book lookalikes!

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaChristian.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpg

    The match is even but Guerrero maintains a degree of control throughout.

    He wins with a Frog Splash at 12:07

    Match Rating: B+

    Blue Guy: Hey, guys, are you feeling okay?

     

    Nova: What?

     

    Blue Guy: Well ever since you guys got pulled under the ring a few weeks ago you've been acting all weird!

     

    Nova: Really? Well, I feel fine. How about you Stevie?

     

    Stevie: Yeah, solid.

     

    Blue Guy: Then, how come you walked out of your match earlier?

     

    Stevie: That was big game strategy, my friend.

     

    Blue Guy: What?

     

    Stevie: Well, we're taking on the sWo in a six-man tag team match on Friday night, right?

     

    Blue Guy: Right.

     

    Stevie: Well, I'm merely saving my energy levels. You see, losing on a little TV show don't count for sh*t but winning at ECW's biggest ever pay-per-view is gonna be huge.

     

    Blue Guy: slightly confused Right...

    The4 match is an incredibly even contest with both sides seeing much offence.

    The Canadian Connection are not able to keep Los Increibles grounded but, equally, the pace of the Mexicans does not wholly subdue their opponents.

    In the fourteenth minute, Rey Mysterio hits a Hurricanrana on Chris Benoit while Chris Jericho hits a Powerbomb on Juvi Guerrera.

    They both make the cover.

    1...2...3!

    Jim Molineaux declares the match a draw.

    Match rating: C+

     

    After, the match the two sides stare down until they are seperated by officials.

     

    The Whole F**kin' Show are backstage for a shoot promo.

    Traci: Iron Saints, at Baptism of Fire, these two strapping young lads behind me are gonna demonstrate the way things work around here. You're the tag champs, so what? You won those titles under dubious circumstances and, other than that one shady victory, you haven't achieved sh*t in ECW!

     

    RVD: Hey, Shawn, how many times have you held the World Title?

     

    Michaels: Twice.

     

    RVD: Oh yeah, that's right. How many times have either of you held it, Iron Saints.

     

    Traci mimes a zero with her fingers.

     

    Michaels: RVD, how long did you hold the TV title for?

     

    RVD: 700 days.

     

    Michaels seemingly goes off-topic.

     

    Michaels: Sh*t, 700? I knew it was 18 months but that's nearly two years!

     

    RVD also deviates from the thread of the promo.

     

    RVD: Yeah, man, and I took out Bam Bam Big...

     

    Traci prods them to get their attention back on track.

    They mouth "sorry" and compose themselves.

    Michaels clears his throat.

     

    Michaels: How long have you held the tag straps, Iron Saints?

     

    Traci: Not even a month!

     

    As the camera cuts back to ringside Michaels can just be heard saying "F**k me. 700 days? Good job, man!" to RVD.

    Raven is seen in a dark and desolate corner of the backstage area.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

     

    Raven: The price of greatness is responsibility; every man must examine his worth in compliance with his earthly achievements. What about me? What about Raven? I am the very personification of greatness and my resultant responsibility is the defence of this World Heavyweight Championship. I have accepted that, Shane Douglas, and, now, it is time for you too to reach acceptance. Do you serve a purpose or do you purposely serve? If the answer is the latter , as I would naturally deduce, then your fate at Baptism of Fire is predictable and oh so morbid. You see, a great man cannot succeed in what he does unless he succeeds in what he is and, Shane Douglas, your name and success have never been synonymous.

     

    So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

    The Whole F**kin' Show continue their run of good form.

    Crouching Lyger Hiiden Dragon experience their second defeat in as many weeks when RVD and HBK hit a 420 Splash at 15:17

    After the match, The Iron Saints come to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonTag.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreTag.jpg

     

    A massive brawl ensues between the tag champions and the number one contenders that spills out of the ring.

    The two teams fight their way all the way to the back.

     

    Callis: Oh, man, it doesn't look like that scrap is ending any time soon.

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

    Vito proves to be a worthy challenger for the Rhino but the Man Beast still maintains control throughout.

    He wins with a Gore at 14:02

    Match Rating: A

     

    After the match, The Sandman sprints to the ring with Singapore Cane in hand.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

     

    He attempts to hit the White Russian Legsweep on Rhino but the Man Beast disarms him and a brawl ensues.

     

    Callis: Oh god, we know what happened last time these two got into a brawl.

    Gertner: Yeah, Don, they fell twenty feet onto concrete flooring!

     

    Tommy Dreamer runs out.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

     

    Gertner: Tommy Dreamer is here! I guess he's after The Sandman!

    Callis: Yeah, Joel, he's in the Baptism of Fire match but I don't think he can wait that long to smash some heads together.

     

    As Dreamer joins the fray, taking out the Sandman, Vito jumps Rhino from behind.

     

    Gertner: And I think Vito wants payback for the loss.

     

    Raven's Nest comes out.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

     

    The brawl becomes even more chaotic as the Nest aid Vito in his assault of Rhino.

     

    Shane Douglas sprints to the ring in wrestling gear to a huge pop.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas.jpg

     

    He takes out a large proportion of the nest, including Monsters Inc. and Vito, as the brawl between all ten men continues.

     

    The Whole' F**kin' Show and The Iron Saints come brawling through the crowd towards the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonTag.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreTag.jpg

     

    The number one contenders throw the champions over the steel guard rail and they join the now 14-man brawl in the ring.

     

    Gertner: This is ridiculous!

     

    Team Japan sprint out.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JushinThunderLyger.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

     

    Gertner: Now what?

    Callis: Well, Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon lost to the Iron Saints last week by questionable means. I guess they want some of this action too.

     

    All three men jump onto the apron and perform Springboard Planchas over the crowd of workers and onto the Iron Saints as the riot continues.

    A "Holy Sh*t!" chant begins.

     

    Both Team Mexico and The Canadian Connection pursue their Japanese adversaries to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaBenoit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaChristian.jpg

     

    Once the six men reach the ring they simply join the massive 22-man brawl, seemingly attacking anything that moves.

     

    Callis: This is pandamoneum! Absolute pandamoneum!

    Gertner: If you think this is bad, Don, wait 'til the Baptism of Fire match!

     

    As the show goes off the air and the ring begins to buckle under the weight, yet more wrestlers, participants in the Baptism of Fire pay-per-view, run out.

    Burchill to enter the fire

     

    After his loss of the ECW World Television Title on Blood, Sweat and Beers to Bret Hart, it has been confirmed that Paul Burchill will take Hart's place in the Baptism of Fire match this Friday. This is, apparently, to avoid the remote possibilty whereby two titles are held by one individual concurrently and, for Burchill at least, the phrase "every cloud has a silver lining" has never been more true.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoeyStyles.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tazz.jpg

     

    Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.

    Taz: Cheers for the intro, Joey. What's on the card for tonight?

    Joey: Well, the bWo and the sWo continue to wage a bitter war as Hollywood Nova takes on The Great Sasuke himself.

    Taz: Oh, man, that should be gold, especially after the strange happenings on Revolution.

    Joey: Very true, however, that's not all. Jerry Lynn gets the chance to draw level in match six of the Best-of-Seven Series, The Iron Saints defend their tag titles against Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon and The Sandman and Masato Tanaka team up to face their nemeses, Rhino and Mick Foley.

    Taz: Sweet! Let's not waste any more time!

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoGreatSasuke.jpg

    The match is an even contest.

    In the twelfth minute, Nova ses up his opponent for a Novacaine but Sasuke reverses with a thumb to the eye.

    The cult leader then snaps his fingers.

    As if by magic, Nova grabs his head, clearly in pain, and collapses to the mat.

    Sasuke makes the cover for the three count.

    Match Rating: B+

     

    Taz: What the hell was that?

    Joey: I have no idea. Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the abrupt end to that matchup!

     

    Paul Heyman is backstage.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

     

    Heyman: In view of last week's events, I wanted to make a statement regarding Rhino and The Sandman's match at Baptism of Fire... the winner will recieve an automatic entry into the Baptism of Fire match!

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

    The match is even as Jericho battles to keep Hayabusa grounded.

    He eventually wins with a Lionsault at 12:02

    Match Rating: B-

     

    Paul Burchill enters the ring,

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BurchillTV.jpg

     

    Burchill: As you have probably noticed, I have come out here unaccompied and without any form of backup. That is for one simple reason. Last week, I defeated Bret Hart to retain my World Television Title. However, that victory was tainted by interference from my associates. The fact is that, at Living Dangerously, I went over Bret clean to earn this title and I don't need a dusty finish to retain it. So, "Hitman", I'm challenging you to a rematch here tonight so I can prove my superiority not only to myself but to all my critics.

     

    Bret Hart appears at the entrance-way.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg

     

    Hart: That's surprisingly sporting of you, Burchill. I accept your offer and hope that, for your own sake, this isn't any sort of trap!

     

    Joey: Well, it looks like we just got our main event.

    Taz: Oh, man, I can't wait!

    Lyger and Ultimo prove to be worthy challengers.

    However, in the twelfth minute, interference emerges...

     

    The Canadian Connection run to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaBenoit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaChristian.jpg

     

    Christian knocks Ultimo off the apron as Benoit takes out Lyger from behind with a chair.

    The Iron Saints capitalise to hit God's Will.

    1...2...3!

    Match Rating: B-

     

    After the match, The Canadian connection continue to assault Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon as The Iron Saints celebrate.

     

    Joey: Somebody stop this!

    Taz: Where's Hayabusa.

    Joey: He's probably still recovering from his match.

     

    The Whole F**kin' Show sprint down the aisle-way.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg

     

    The Iron Saints bail before they need to defend themselves but Michaels and Van Dam still eject The Canadian Connection from the ring.

    The Whole F**kin' Show stay in the ring, staring down Brandon and Salvatore and gesturing that they will regain the tag titles.

    The match is a hardcore spectacle from the start and very evenly constested.

    Rhino picked up the pinfall with a Gore on Masato Tanaka at 13:48

    Match Rating: B+

     

    After the match, The Sandman and Rhino get into a fierce staredown and slanging match.

     

    Taz: Things may kick off a week early, Joey!

    Joey: There's certainly a whole lot of animosity in the ring right now.

     

    Match Six in the Best-of-Seven Series

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

    The match is another great technical display.

    In the fourteenth minute, Lance Storm goes for a Super Kick but Jerry Lynn catches his leg, throws it over his own shoulder and hits a Snap Powerbomb.

    He hooks Storm's legs.

    1...2...Storm rolls through into his own pinning predicament.

    1...2...Lynn returns the favour.

    1...2...Kickout!

    Lynn sprins straight up onto the second turnbuckle and, as Storm rises, hits a Moonsault Body Press.

    1...2...3!

    Match Rating: B+ (3-3 in the series)

     

    Joey: Lynn draws even and this makes things a whole lot more interesting.

     

    After the match, Shane Douglas comes to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

     

    Douglas: Okay, I know I'm not the Bllood, Sweat and Beers Commissioner. However, this Best-of-Seven Series was my idea and I'm going to be the one to decide how it will end.

     

    The fans cheer.

     

    Douglas: This is too big to end in an ordinary match and, so, I have come up with a concept that complies with Paul E's Two Ring Theory.

     

    The crowd, again, pops.

     

    Douglas: This rivalry will, therefore, be decided in a very special kind of Stairway To Hell match. The victor of the series itself will be determined by pinfall, however, there will be extra incentives. Above one ring will hang an entry certificate for the Baptism of Fire Match while suspended above the other will be a contract for an International All Action Title Shot. Whichever man is able to retrieve one or both of these items will reap the respective rewards.

     

    As Douglas finishes speaking, Raven runs to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

     

    The World Heavyweight Champion takes out the Revolution Commissioner from behind.

    Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn try to make the save.

     

    However, CM Punk, Vito and Monsters Inc. arrive through the crowd.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

     

    They take out the two cruiserweights, leaving Raven to decimate Douglas with a chair.

     

    Taz: Raven is sending a message to his opponent at Baptism of Fire!

    Joey: Yeah, I guess we just found the advantage in having a cult following!

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BurchillTV.jpg

    Raven's Nest stay at ringside during the match.

    The contest is incredibly even with both men seeing much offence.

    In the thirteenth minute, Bret Hart looks set to lock in The Sharpshooter.

    The Nest climb onto the apron, distracting Hart and allowing Burchill to rise to his feet.

    Shockingly, Burchill gestures for his team mates to head backstage. They protest but he insists it should be a fair matchup.

    The fans applaud this sentiment as Burchill and Hart size each other up again.

    The contest continues in a similarly evenly-contested fashion.

    Suddenly, in the eighteenth minute, Burchill's knee seems to give way.

    Hart, although confused, picks up his opponent and delivers a Spinebuster with relative ease.

    1...2...3!

    Match Rating: B+

     

    Taz: He got the title back, Joey.

    Joey: Damn right, Taz! "The Hitman" is the new World Television Champion!

    Callis: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Don Callis...

    Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.

    Callis: Tonight's show promises to be a classic as the bWo get the opportunity for revenge after last week's strange happenings and the three teams in the Ultimate Jeopardy match at Baptism of Fire try to gain some momentum.

    Gertner: Awesome.

    Callis: Not only that, Joel, but Raven promises to reveal his "trump card" if The Franchise, Shane Douglas, does not award a Tag Title shot Monsters Inc.

    Gertner: Oh, man, I wonder what that is...

    The match is an even contest.

    In the ninth minute, Stevie looks set to hit a Stevie Kick on Espiritu.

    However, he grabs his head as it becomes apparent that a he is experiencing a shooting pain.

     

    Gertner: What's wrong with Stevie?

    Callis: I have no idea.

     

    Nova goes to check on his partner but Stevie, clearly confused, Super Kicks his own team mate.

    Chessman makes the cover and gets the pinfall.

    Mick Foley is ready for a shoot promo.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MickFoley.jpg

     

    Foley: Since last week, people have again been asking me all sorts of stupid questions. You'll notice that I'm not here tonight as Cactus Jack and that is for the same reason that I abandoned my match with Masato Tanaka last week. I am SICK of being under appreciated! I have sweated every working night of my life in that ring for this company! I have cried more tears for Extreme Championship Wrestling through the years than any guy in the back and every time that my flesh was ripped from my bones, my veins bled ECW! Well, no longer. All of you fickel bastards in the crowd tonight chanted for Masato Tanaka last week. Do you really expect me to finish a match in front of people who don't appreciate my efforts? Tanaka, I'm sure you love the appreciation of the fans and you can have it as far as I'm concerned because the people who I once admired for chanting the three letters "E-C-W" are dead to me!

    Jericho: Last week we discovered that three washed-up Japanese pensioners are gonna be included in the Ultimate Jeopardy match.

     

    Christian: Whatever. It doesn't matter how many teams we face because we are the Canadian Connection, the most elite stable in wrestling history!

     

    Jericho: The fact is that the Japanese are as useless as the mexicans. Antonio Inoki, Hiroshi Hase, The Great Muta... who gives a sh*t?

     

    Christian: However, the Harts, Roddy Piper, Abdullah The Butcherm, Lance Storm, Steve Corino is a much more impressive list!

     

    Benoit: And, Ultimo Dragon, I'm going to honour Canada's proud wrestling heritage tonight when I make you tapout to the Crossface!

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

    This match lives up to the high standard set by the rest of the series.

    In the fifteenth minute, Lynn attempts a top rope Hurricanrana.

    However, Storm counters it into a Super Powerbomb.

    1...2...3!

    Match Rating: A (3-2 to Storm in the series)

     

    Callis: So, Lance Storm gains the upper hand for the first time in the series.

    Gertner: I always knew he'd come back, Don.

     

    Raven comes to the ring, for once, unaccompanied.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

     

    Raven: Conflict is within the very soul of human mentality. I have endeavoured to not conform to this principle but my patience has its limits. The same instinct that causes man to argue with his neighbour precipitates war betwixt princes. What about me? What about Raven? I recognise that a war waged between Shane Douglas and myself is unnecessary. However, despite ample warning, The Franchise has failed to comply with my reasoning. Thus, I am left with little choice. I have something that will, for once, ensure agreement from the Commissioner...

     

    Raven is interrupted by the man of which he speaks.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

     

    Franchise: Come on, then, Raven; drop the bomb! I have no skeletons in my closet and I'm dying to know what you think you've got on me.

     

    Raven: It's simple, Shane. All I need to do is exploit your shameless sense of competition.

     

    Franchise: And how do you propose...

     

    Raven: interrupting Four months ago I ended your career. Thanks to me, you will never again be able to compete in a professional wrestling match.

     

    Franchise: I'm fully aware of that.

     

    Raven ignores Douglas.

     

    Raven: However, I am willing to renounce my previous pledge and allow you to once again become an active worker.

     

    Douglas looks surprised.

     

    Franchise: What's the catch?

     

    Raven: You have to beat me at Baptism of Fire in a non-title match.

     

    Franchise: That shouldn't be a problem but what's in this for you; this has nothing to do with the tag titles.

     

    Raven: That's where you're wrong, Franchise, because, should you choose to accept my proposition for a match at Baptism of Fire and lose, I will become the new Revolution Commissioner!

     

    Douglas' face becomes more annoyed.

     

    Franchise: Nice try but I'm not willing to risk you having your way with the booking of this company.

     

    Douglas turns to leave.

     

    Raven: Fine... I'll even put the title on the line!

     

    Douglas turns back.

     

    Franchise: Deal!

     

    Callis: Wow, The Franchise is going to be able to relaunch his career while challenging for the World Title.

    Gertner: Yeah, but, if he loses, Raven becomes the new comish!

    Callis: That's gonna be huge and how is this gonna fit into Paul E's Two Ring Theory?

    The match is a fantastic and evenly contested hardcore spectacle.

    After the match, Rhino picks up his opponent to continue the assault but Tanaka fights back.

     

    Mick Foley runs to the ring.

    He takes out Tanaka from behind and offers to shake Rhino's hand.

     

    Gertner: Will the Man Beast accept?

     

    Rhino pushes Foley's hand away.

     

    Callis: Gore! Gore!

     

    After taking out Foley, Rhino picks up Tanaka in a Military Press and launches him to the outside.

     

    Callis: Wow, Rhino is on fire!

     

    The Sandman sprints to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

     

    He and Rhino commence a huge fist fight.

     

    Callis: Well, it looks like they can't wait 'til Baptism of Fire.

    Gertner: Tommy Dreamer will have to be loving this!

     

    The fight spills to the outside as the two men fight through the crowd and up a tier of stairs.

    They brawl continues right to the edge of the balcony.

     

    Gertner: This could be dangerous!

     

    Rhino, similar to before, picks up his adversary in a Military Press.

    He goes to launch him off the balcony but The Sandman catches Rhino's arm on the way down.

     

    Callis: My god, both men just fell twenty feet!

    Gertner: They're not moving, Don! Let's get some medics out here!

     

    The show goes off air as chants of "ECW" thunder around the sold out arena.

    My Review Of Blood, Sweat & Beers

     

    I like the sWo/bWo angle at the beginning of the show. The arm from beneath the ring was a nice touch and I cant wait to find out what they have up there sleeve.

     

    I love your Raven promos

     

    The Ultimate Jeopardy match sounds very interesting, it should be a great match.

     

    The ending rocked and even though I have not been around for a little while, its easy to see what direction you are taking ECW. I cant find one single fault with this card. Great job brother man.

     

    Cheers, man. I appreciate that hugely! It's good to have you back rating the shows ;).

    Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Champion, Taz.

    Taz: Cheers for the intro, Joey. Oh, man am I psyched? Can you believe Paul E's announcement on Revolution?

    Joey: Not really but if anyone's capable of dreaming up something like the Baptism of Fire match it's the mad genius that is Paul Heyman!

    Taz: Oh, too true, Joe. Anyhow, what's up first?

    Joey: Well the rivalry between the sWo and the bWo continues as Big Stevie Cool takes on Chessman.

    After the match, the rest of the sWo run out.

    They look set to assault Stevie but the bWo run out to try and even the odds.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg

     

    A brawl ensues between the two factions.

    Suddenly, smoke fills the ring and the canvas rips open.

    An arm reaches out, grabs Nova by the ankle and pulls him under the ring.

    Stevie, looking to aid his team mate, jumps into the hole in the canvas but does not re-emerge.

    Da Blue Guy looks terrified and tries to escape but he is subdued by the sWo who, working together, drag him under as well.

     

    Taz: What the hell?

     

    The arena lights suddenly turn off.

     

    Dim red lighting comes on to reveal The Great Sasuke standing at the entrance-way.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoGreatSasuke.jpg

     

    He laughs demonically before the arena is, again, plunged into darkness.

     

    "Superstar" Steve Austin is backstage for a shoot promo.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SteveAustin.jpg

     

    Austin: A few weeks ago, Raven screwed Sabu out of the title. Now, I couldn't give a sh*t if that crazy bastard gets ripped off but it does mean that his promise of me getting another shot at the strap fell through. So, there's only one alternative. In two weeks time, Steve Austin is going to confirm his Superstar status by becoming the first ever winner of the Baptism of Fire match! After that, I'll go on to the main event at Hardcore Heaven and kick Raven's cowardly ass so bad that he'll reconsider ever stepping back in the ring. Put simply, you are looking at the next ECW World Heavyweight champion: the "Superstar" Steve Austin!

    The match is very even and a great example of aerial excellence versus technical proficiency.

    The Canadian Connection win at 14:32 when Ultimo Dragon tapped to the Walls Of Jericho.

    Match Rating: C+ (ouch :confused:)

     

    After the match, to add insult to injury, the Canadians assault Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon.

     

    Team Mexico come running out.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

     

    They save Lyger and Ultimo by taking out Jericho and Benoit.

     

    Christian sprints to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Christian.jpg

     

    A 3-on-3 brawl ensues while Lyger and Dragon stay down.

     

    Joey: This is pandemonium!

    Taz: If you think this is bad, wait for the Ultimate Jeopardy match at Baptism of Fire!

     

    Suddenly, Hayabusa runs out.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

     

    Joey: My god, it's Hayabusa!

    Taz: Isn't he supposed to be injured?

    Joey: I guess he's recovered.

     

    Hayabusa climbs onto the apron and springboards off the ropes.

    He performs an astonishing forward flip that takes out all six Canadians and Mexicans, who roll to the outside.

     

    Taz: Oh, yeah, he's recoverd alright!

     

    Hayabusa then helps up Ultimo and Lyger.

    The three men look at the six others on the outside.

    They sprint at the ropes, rebound and perform simultaneous frontflips over the opposite set of ropes.

     

    Joey: OH MY GOD! They just took out Team Mexico and The Canadian Connection!

    Taz: That was unbelievable!

     

    Raven's nest is backstage.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BurchillTV.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

     

    Raven: The most disadvantageous peace is preferable to the most righteous of wars; conflict cannot occur merely for its own sake. What about me? What about Raven? I am willing to try once more to keep the peace between you and me, Shane Douglas. As I said on Revolution, I have realised that I'm holding a trump card that I can lay whenever I choose. I could entice you to change your mind in a split second but I won't. I'll play fair this last time. However, if by the end of next week's Revolution you have not awarded my Monsters a tag title shot, I will not be so patient!

     

    So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

    Quote The Raven

    Nevermore

     

    Taz: Man, I wonder what Raven means by a "trump card".

    Joey: So do I but there is one thing I'm certain of.

    Taz: What's that?

    Joey: This next match is going to be a slugfest as Masato Tanaka gets the opportunity for revenge on Cactus Jack!

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

    The match is a hardcore spectacle right from the bell with plenty of weapons and blood.

    In the tenth minute, Cactus Jack floors Tanaka with a chair shot but, instead of making the cover, he heads to the back.

     

    Taz: What the hell?

     

    Referee, John Finnegan, decides to award the match to Tanaka.

    Paul Heyman comes to the ring.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

     

    Heyman: I don't want to take up valuable ring time but I am out here to make a few quick announcements.

     

    A faint "Paul E" chant begins.

     

    Heyman: Firstly,all title holders will be exempt from the Baptism of Fire match to allow them to concentrate on defending their championships. However, I can confirm five men who will be entering...

     

    He leaves a dramatic pause.

     

    Heyman: Tommy Dreamer, Steve Austin, Bret Hart and Owen Hart!

     

    Taz: That's only four.

    Joey: I'm sure he knows that.

     

    Heyman: And, finally, the winner of Rhino and The Sandman's Two-Out-Of-Three Falls match will also enter the fires.

     

    The crowd cheers the prospect.

     

    Heyman: Oh and, in light of earlier events, the Ultimate Jeopardy match will now be three way as Team Mexico and The Canadian Connection face each other as well as the team of Jushin Lyger, Ultimo Dragon and Hayabusa!

     

    Joey: A three way Ultimate Jeopardy match?

    Taz: Oh man, that's awesome!

     

    A video is shown to hype Rhino's recent form.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KensukeSasaki.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

    Rhino does not dominate as he has done in previous matches and it makes for a much more interesting bout.

    The two men put on a hardcore clinic and steal the show.

    Rhino picks up the win with a Gore at 10:32

    Match Rating: A*

     

    After the match, while Sasaki is grounded, Rhino sets up a table in the corner, resting against the turnbuckle.

    He waits for his opponent to stand...

     

    Joey: GORE! GORE... THROUGH THE TABLE!

    Taz: Oh man, Rhino's getting into quite a routine... beat opponent, mame opponent, beat opponent, mame opponent... repeat as required.

    Joey: The Sandman's going to have his work cut out for him at Baptism of Fire!

    As always, these two put on a great and evenly contested match.

    In the twelfth minute, Hart hits a Brainbuster on Burchill and sets up for the Sharpshooter.

     

    Abyss, Goliath and Vito run to the ring.

    They pull Hart off Burchill and Goliath hits a Giant Chokeslam.

     

    Owen Hart comes to make the save.

    Abyss and Goliath team up to take out Owen as Bret is hit by a Vito Driver.

    Burchill makes the cover.

    Joey: Damn it! They always find a way to sneak out of trouble!

     

    After the match, Burchill picks up a mic.

     

    Burchill: Hey, Vito.

     

    He signals for his team mate to come over.

    When he does, Burchill smacks him across the face.

     

    Burchill: This was my match, not yours. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

     

    Joey: What's got into Burchill? Vito just saved him from losing the TV title.

    Taz: I have no idea.

     

    Vito: But, Paul, Raven said that...

     

    Burchill: I don't care what Raven said. If you pull a stunt like this again, I'll f**king cripple you!

     

    Burchill angrily takes his title from ringside and storms backstage, leaving Vito and Monsters Inc looking bemused.

    Heyman: Hey, comish. How ae you doing?

     

    Franchise: I'm very well, Paul E. How are you?

     

    Heyman: I'm great. I can't wait to make this announcement. It could change the entire fate of ECW!

     

    Franchise: I'm very glad you chose to make it on Revolution.

     

    Heyman: And I'm glad you agreed to have me.

     

    Franchise: Hey, how could I not?

     

    The two men walk off talking.

    The match is very even but Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon seem the more confident team.

    They win when Ultimo performs a Dragonsteiner on his own partner allowing Lyger to flip forward with extra force, delivering a thunderous Senton Bomb to Jeff Hardy.

    Raven: These are the unwanted; these are the outcast; these are the dejected. The mere inception of their existence was a caesarian inflicted upon the womb of dysfunction. What about me? What about Raven? I have charged myself with the care of these individuals and, in so doing, I have made it my responsibility to get a Tag Title shot for my monsters. It was once said that, if the facts don't fit the thoery, change the facts. I intend to do just that. You see, Franchise, I've realised I have something over you and I will force you to change your mind!

     

    So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

    The fans jeer his arrival.

     

    Cactus: You know, since last week, all I've heard from people is "Why, Cactus? Why did you attack Masato Tanaka?" Well, first of all I am sick and tired of being called Cactus f**king Jack just 'cos I wear this t-shirt. My name isn't Cactus, my name's Mick Foley!

     

    A "You still suck" chant starts.

     

    Cactus: And that's exactly why I did it, Masato, because I realised how f**king inconsiderate and uncaring these fans are.

     

    The fans jeer.

     

    Cactus:You see, Masato, you've made a career out of putting your body on the line and participating in some of the most violent matches ever seen.

     

    The fans cheer and a slight "TA-NA-KA" chant begins.

     

    Cactus: You've done all that and it's just not necessary. These fans won't appreciate you even if you die entertaining them! They're fickle whores who will sell you out at the first sign of someone younger and prettier!

     

    The jeers continue as Tanaka looks confused.

     

    Cactus: I beat you up last week to prove that to you. I kicked the crap out of you and these fans still didn't cheer me. Regardless of what they say, they don't appreciate hard work. They don't appreciate anything!

     

    Cactus heads backstage.

     

    Callis: What kind of logic is that? Of course the fans didn't cheer you, Mick, you took out Tanaka from behind!

    Gertner: I've always said he was a bit crazy.

    Paul Heyman comes to the ring with an A1 flip pad to a "Paul E" chant.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

     

    Heyman: Thank you, I know you've all been waiting for this announcement and I'm not the sort to keep you waiting any longer. So, first of all, I want to launch a little initiative I call the "Two Ring Theory". As you know, we already have an Ultimate Jeopardy match booked for Baptism Of Fire between Team Mexico and the Canadian Connection, which will, of course, involve two rings. "Two Ring Theory" means that every match at that event will incoprporate the use of those two rings.

     

    Callis: Interesting...

     

    Heyman: In view of this, I'm making a Tag Team Title Match between the Iron Saints and the Whole F**kin' Show.

     

    The fans cheer at the prospect.

     

    Heyman: It will be the first ever Half-life Handicap match. This means that each of two rings will be assigned to one of the two teams. The illegal men from each team are actually elligible to wrestle but must stay within their own ring. The two legal men can go wherever the hell they please, meaning that if a legal man finds himself in his opponents' ring he will face the conditions of a handicap match until he tags out or exits that ring.

     

    Gertner: Did you get that, Don?

    Callis: I think so.

     

    Heyman: The match booked by Tommy Dreamer, which is of course Rhino versus The Sandman, will be a Two Out Of Three Falls match except a fall must take place in each of the rings. This means the match will either be a longer and more intense spectacle or one man will have to be truly incapacitated before he can be beaten.

     

    Gertner: Oh, that should be great!

     

    Heyman: Finally, ladies and gentlemen, I want to announce the pièce de résistance; my pride and joy. I call it the Baptism Of Fire match.

     

    Gertner: And this sounds like it could be good as well.

     

    Paul E flips over the cover of the flip pad to reveal a diagram.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BOFmatch.jpg

     

    Heyman: At the start of the match, twenty men will enter, ten in each ring, and compete under Battle Royale rules. The apron between the two rings and the ringside floor will host lit, gas fires.

     

    Gertner: Oh, man!

     

    Heyman: A wrestler is eliminated when any part of his anatomy or clothing catches fire.

     

    Callis: Jesus, this is brutal!

     

    Heyman: When ten men are eliminated, the fire on the middle ring apron will be extinguished, allowing both rings to be accesible to all who remain.

     

    An "ECW" chant begins.

     

    Heyman closes up his flip pad and makes to leave.

     

    Heyman: Oh, and the last man standing will recieve a World Heavyweight Title shot at Hardcore Heaven in May!

     

    Callis: Wow! Just... wow!

    Rhino, despite the disadvantage, dominates, winning when he hits the Gore on Bradshaw at 8:51

    Match Rating: B+

     

    As has become a regular occurence, Rhino sets up a table at ringside.

    He drags both Acolytes out to the apron.

    He beats his chest and screams at the top of his lungs.

    He then grabs both Farooq and Bradshaw in Front Facelocks.

    He falls backwards delivering a Double DDT through the table to the concrete floor.

     

    Callis: Rhino did it again!

    Gertner: My god, he's cutting through the roster like a knife, Don!

     

    Tommy Dreamer is backstage for a shoot promo.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

     

    Dreamer: Tonight, Shane Douglas was kind enough to give me, well, more realistically The Sandman, the main event slot if I could come up with something interesting. I think I have and it can be summed up in just five words: The Sandman versus Steve Austin!

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SteveAustin.jpg

    The match is an evenly-contested and memorable hardcore slugfest.

    In the twelfth minute, Sandman hooks up Austin for the White Russian Legsweep.

    Austin spins out, though, and kicks his opponent in the gut.

     

    Callis: This could be it!

     

    Superstar Stunner!

    Further news regarding Heyman's Huge Announcement!

     

    A leak from ECW HQ, which has not yet been confirmed as official or not, has confirmed further information about Paul Heyman's announcement on Revolution and the main event at Baptism Of Fire.

     

    It appears that the match will be contested under battle royale rules between numerous participants. This could mean, of course, that the pay-per-view will take a similar shape to the WWF's Royal Rumble. However, Heyman himself was quick to dispel this idea:

     

    We're aiming to produce the first ever show to out perform Wrestlemania both commercially and creatively. Would that really be achievable if we were merely stealing ideas off the competition?

     

    -Paul Heyman, ECW CEO and Chief Talent Official

     

    If any further news manifests before this Monday's Revolution we will be the first to report it.

    Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Champion, Taz. Steve Corino has decided not no be with us tonight as he has opted to concentrate on his physiotherapy.

    Taz: Yeah, good luck Oldschool. I hope you're back in the ring soon. What's first up, Joey?

    Joey: The exciting new team of Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon.

    Taz: Sweet, and their opponents?

    Joey: None other than the Briscoe Boys.

    Similar to his actions on Revolution, Rhino exits the ring and sets up a table.

    He drags Farooq out to the apron and sets him up for a Rhino Driver.

     

    Bradshaw runs out.

    Rhino, acting quickly, release his grip on Farooq and throws him through the table at ringside.

    He then enters through the ropes and meets Bradshaw in the ring.

    A brawl ensues in which Bradshaw takes advantage.

    The Texan whips the Man Beast to the ropes.

     

    Joey: GORE! GORE!

    Bradshaw: Jesus, out of all the things you don't do to a ticked off Man Beast, IrishWhipping him is top of the list for reasons that just became apparent!

     

    Rhino looks as though he is considering delivering further punishment but, instead, storms to the back.

     

    The Sandman enters the ring, awaiting the announcement of his next match. Indeed, Tommy Dreamer appears at the entrance-way.

    Buh-Buh Ray and D-Von make their way to the ring and the match begins.

    Dreamer: I thought I might as well let you know who your opponent is for Baptism Of Fire, Sandman. You see, as fun as it is to let you guess who it will be, I think you'll sweat more once you find out. So, without further suspense, your opponent will be... Rhino!

     

    Joey: Oh my god! The one man wrecking crew that is Rhino will take on The Sandman at Baptism Of Fire by command of Tommy Dreaer.

    Taz: Wow, sweating is right. That could be brutal.

    Meanwhile, Traci partially unzips her top.

    She beckons them over.

     

    Brandon: What the hell do you want?

     

    Sal slaps Brandon.

     

    Sal: Didn't Momma tell you to treat the ladies nice? My apologies, signora.

     

    Traci: Oh, that's okay. Hey, I was thinking that we could maybe hook up sometime.

     

    As Traci is speaking, Michaels crawls out from his hiding place and behind Brandon.

     

    Brandon: Hook up?

     

    Traci: Yeah, y'know, get physical.

     

    She runs her hand down Sal's chest.

     

    Sal: smiling How physical?

     

    Traci suddenly pushes Brandon, who falls backwards over Michaels.

    As soon as he hits the floor, RVD hits a Five Star Frog Splash off the container.

     

    Traci: Pretty f**king physical!

     

    Brandon goes to slap Traci but Michaels springs to his feet and spins him around.

    Sweet Chin Music!

     

    RVD: Those belts are ours!

    Joey: What possible issue does Cactus Jack have with Masato Tanaka?

    Raven: It was once said that courage is the ability to go from failure to failure with no loss of fervour. What about me? What about Raven? If that is, in fact, the case then colour me a coward! You see, I could try the same formula again: demand a title shot from Shane Douglas and have it inevitably rejected but I prefer to try a revolutionary approach. After all, when one tries something knew he risks failure but if, he does not, he ensures it. So, Paul E, you and I haven't always seen eye to eye but this is your chance to remedy that unfortunate premise by granting an opportunity to my monsters.

     

    Shane Douglas appears at the entrance-way.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

     

    Franchise: Sorry to disappoint you Scotty but Paul E is busy planning the historic night that is Baptism Of Fire. So, say hello to your temporary Blood, Sweat and Beers commissioner.

     

    The crowd cheers while Raven looks pissed.

     

    Raven: Your bluffing!

     

    Franchise: You wanna bet? You've crossed the line, Raven; you've pissed me off one too many times now. So, I'm making a match for right now: you can take on Owen Hart.

     

    Owen appears next to the Franchise.

    Raven: Woah, woah, woah! Screw that.

     

    Franchise: What's the problem?

     

    Raven: I'm injured.

     

    Franchise: Oh, get over yourself!

     

    Raven: Seriously, I'm under no obligation to wrestle TV dates unless I agree.

     

    Franchise: Okay, you can weasel your way out but one of your little ass kissers has to take your place.

     

    Raven: Punk, your up.

     

    CM Punk looks worried.

     

    Raven: It's fine, we've got your back.

     

    Franchise: No you haven't! Everyone but Owen and Punk is banned from ringside.

     

    Raven looks even more pissed than before but begrudgingly sends his followers to the back.

    ECW.com is, unfortunately, able to announce that Al Snow's neck was indeed broken as a result of Rhino's actions last night on Revolution. Our sincerest apologies go out to Al and those affected by his injury. While it is likely that Al will recieve compensation, it is currently undecided as to whether Rhino will face disciplinary action.

    Also was a big fan of the Raven interview. I know you of all people would not underperform in a Raven interview but his promo was very Raven-like. And I really like the Revolution video, some great moments there.

     

    Sweet, you noticed my proudest moments of the show :D. I love writing Raven promos; they're far too much fun!

     

    Cheers for the feedback as always and thankd, Game-Face, for your pics which I have, once again, utilised. They're awesome as always ;).

    Gertner: And?

    Callis: What, that's not enough? Okay, Michael Shane returns to tag team action with his old partner, Frankie Kazarian, to take on the exciting new team of Jusgin Lyger and Ultimo Dragon. Plus, we're still to find out the ambitions of the newly re-formed Raven's Nest.

    Gertner: Wow, how impressive has Rhino looked recently, Don?

    Callis: Scarily so, Joel, and I believe that it's him who will face Al Snow.

    Gertner: Oh, that should be gold! What's next.

    Callis: Are you a fan of martial arts films, Joel?

    Gertner: Not really, why?

    Callis: Well, either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy the tag team debut of "Crouching Lyger, Hidden Dragon".

    Lyger and Ultimo work together well and are able to subdue their opponents.

    In the twelfth minute, Lyger kneels on all fours in the corner, facing the turnbuckle.

    In an incredible feat of athleticism, Ultimo runs up Lygers back, onto the top rope and hits a Corkscrew Moonsault onto Kazarian.

     

    An "ECW" chant begins.

     

    1...2...3!

    Match Rating: C+

     

    Callis: Woah!

    Gertner: That was incredible!

     

    Tommy Dreamer is backstage.

    Dreamer: Hey, Sandman, I've got some good news. You're in the first confirmed match at Baptism Of Fire, I've just squared it with Paul E. I'm not gonna tell you your opponent yet, though, you can sweat that out. As for tonight, you can take on Masato Tanaka in a First Blood match!

    The match is surprisingly underwhelming as Lance Storm seems off his game.

    However, in the thirteenth minute, he hits a Piledriver that keeps Lynn down for three.

    Match Rating: B- (2-2 in the series)

    RVD: Released.

     

    Michaels: All the in-figthing...

    Traci: The bitch is back!

     

    The trio laugh.

    RVD snaps his fingers and their faces turn serious.

     

    RVD: Iron Saints, watch your backs, boys, 'cos the gold around your waists is coming home. We are the Whole...

     

    Traci: ...F**kin'...

     

    Michaels: ...Show!

    Prior to Al Snow's match, the sellout crowd fill the ring with polystyrene

     

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlSnow.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

    To the fans' dissapointment, Al Snow is heavily rattled by the Man Beast.

    Rhino goes on to dominate, winning with a Gore at 7:21

    Match Rating: A

     

    After the match, Rhino picks up a mic.

     

    Rhino: And here we f**king go again, I'm placed in some midcard novelty match because no one can be f**ked to think up a storyline for me. Well, guess what? I don't need one! I can make an impact without relying on a controversial angle, a manger peddling cheap heat or a stable to back me up and Al Snow is gonna discover that first hand!

     

    Rhino exits the ring and sets up a table beside the apron.

    He re-enters and drags Al Snow out through the rope.

    Finally, he proceeds to deliver a Rhino Driver off the apron and through the table.

     

    Callis: Jesus, I think Rhino just broke Al Snow's neck.

    Gertner: So much for a triumphant return. Rhino wasn't joking last week on Blood, Sweat and Beers; he really is looking to injur people.

    The rest of Raven's Nest join him in the ring.

    Raven: The difference between a great man and those only destined for mediocrity is subtle but important. Whereas, upon achieving success, most are contented, a being of true superiority still craves more! What about me? What about Raven? I will not be satisfied until my Nest controls every single title on offer in ECW. That means, Shane Douglas, that I am expecting you... No, I am demanding that you make a match for the Iron Saints to defend their tag belts against my Monsters!

     

    Goliath and Abyss nod menacingly.

     

    Raven: I am not leaving this ring until you voice your agreement.

     

    The comissioner, Shane Douglas, appears at the entrance-way.

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

     

    Franchise: I notice you've made quite the mistake Raven. You may have the obedience of those ass kissers next to you now but, in putting the man who signs the pay checks through a table, you lost your political leverage.

     

    Raven: Au contraire, not if you make the right choice Franchise?

     

    Franchise: Which is?

     

    Raven: You're either with us or against us, Shane, and I advise you not to be foolish.

     

    Franchise: I think the only foolish action I could take would be to listen to your advice!

     

    Raven looks pissed off.

     

    Franchise: And, by the way, your request is declined.

     

    Raven: Excuse me?

     

    Franchise: What's the matter, Raven, used to getting your own way? Face it, the circumstances that the Whole F**kin' Show lost those belts under were somewhat extenuating and they are far more deserving Number One Contender's than a couple of circus freaks!

     

    The Nest make to exit the ring.

     

    Raven: Watch your mouth, Franchise!

     

    Franchise: No, Raven, you watch yours.

     

    Both The Whole F**kin' Show and The Hart Foundation come out to back up The Franchise.

    Franchise: Now, get the f**k out of that ring before I have you forcibly ejected!

     

    The crowd goes nuts at the prospect but Raven motions for his followers to leave.

     

    First Blood Match by command of Tommy Dreamer

    http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

    The match is very even.

    In the fourteenth minute, Masato Tanaka wraps his fist in barbed wire and plants a Haymaker on The Sandman, who is cut open.

    Match Rating: A

     

    Callis: The Sandman falls victim to Masato Tanaka.

    Gertner: And Tommy Dreamer.

    Callis: Yeah it looks like he's finally got one up on Sandman with this booking stipulation.
