Nevermore

OOC: If anyone has ever wanted to get into this diary but considered it too long (I know this issue has been raised in the past). Now, is the perfect opportunity to start. This next show is the biggest I have ever written/booked and marks the end of many feuds in ECW. Essentially, the promotion is starting almost from scratch with a new image and new storylines after N2R XV. Moreover, I have put tremendous effort into detailing the storylines leading up to these matches below so that you can have a good idea of what has come before. Happy reading and thank you so much for taking your time to do so. It is very much appreciated. I love you all . Nevvy NB: Huge thanks once again go to Game-Face in cutting the following pictures.

Monday, week 4, November <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rev.flv"></embed> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScottHudson.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg Hudson: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: We are just five days away from the dawning of a new era, ladies and gentlemen. We are just five days away from November To Remember Fifteen. Gertner: ...and just five days away from Joel Gertner's greatest ever pay-per-view opening. Hudson: How about, since we're letting you have your moment, you don't mention it until then? Gertner: Where's the fun in that? Hudson: Where's the fun in any of it? The fact is, tonight, we have a fantastic rematch scheduled for the ECW World Television Championship and, in five days time, we have one of the strongest cards the wrestling industry has ever seen. Meanwhile, all you can do is talk about your penis. Gertner: I prefer the term "jackhammer". Hudson: Sometimes, I think I preferred APW. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg The two men, once more, put on a very respectable performance. It is a fairly even contest throughout. However, Hero puts his vixtory beyond doubt with a Hero's welcome... ...and getting his feet on the middle rope for the fall. Match Rating: B Kurt Angle sprints to the ring as the bell sounds. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Not allowing Lynn to stand, he immediately locks in the Ankle Lock. Lynn writhes in pain as Chris Hero makes matters worse by laying some boot shots into the veteran's head. Hudson: Oh, this is disgusting! However, the cavalry is not far away. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Hudson: It's Chris Jericho! Jericho slides in and immediately takes out Angle with an Enziguiri forcing him to break his submission hold. Hero approaches Jericho but is immediatley taken down in a shooter's takedown... ...Liontamer! Hudson: Ha, Hero's screaming like a girl! Gertner: Not quite like the screaming girls I encounter on a daily basis. Hudson: For crying out loud, Joel. Jericho releases the hold and grabs a mic. Jericho: In case you thought there was a way to get out of it, Hero, it's now official... you and I are settling this at November To Remember and Paul E's already signed it! The crowd clearly likes the idea. Hudson: Wow, another great match on the card. Non-Title Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpg Once more, the crowd does not seem particularly enthused with a Lioness match. However, it works as a decent cooling off match. Jazz starts off dominant but, slowly, Alexis comes back. It is a very even affair by the sixth minute. However, Nathalie runs in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpg The Nest's newest member grabs Alexis' title from ringside. She slides in and nails Jazz with the gold. Alexis and Nathalie follow up with a Double DDT onto the belt. 1...2...3! Match Rating: D+ As the Nest's women celebrate, Kelly Thomaselli slides in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg She slides in, boots Alexis in the gut and grabs the title belt. A shot from the golkd to Nathalie... ...and Alexis! She picks up a mic. Kelly: It seems pretty obvious that Jazz came out here looking to earn a title shot but you screwed her out of it and, since there's no one you've screwed over more times than me, it looks like it's gonna be me who challenges you for the Lioness title at November To Remember! A small scetion of the crowd cheer at the prospect of athletci eye-candy. The vast majority, though, seem to let out a collective sigh. Gertner: Yes! I'm calling it, best match on the card. Hudson: I don't know whether you meant that in its slang meaning or not but, let me assure you, there is no way in hell Paul E will let you call that match. Gertner: God damn backstage politics. Hudson: Yeah... that'll be it. The camera cuts to a close-up of Sabu's face. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg There are visible remnants of stitches in his throat from last week's attack by Nate Hatred. "The Human Highlight Reel" smiles and walks out of shot. Revealed in the corridor is a mannequin replica of Nate Hatred, hanging by a reel of barbed wire wrapped around his throat. Suddenly, Sabu's hand comes back into focus and, as it opens, a fireball bursts out. The mannequin, clearly doused in gasoline, ignites and the camera feed fades to black on an image of a hanging, burning Nate Hatred. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg It is clear that the Second Generation have improved noticeably as a team. However, Ultimo Dudley II is still greeted by some legit heat. Despite the strength of Big Dick being displayed early on, the Hardcore Innovators control this one fairl effectively. That is until the rest of The Dudley Family run out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg As they slide in, Tommy Dreamer falls prey to the Dudley Death Drop. Dick covers... ...but Cactus breaks up the fall. ECW's resident infection emerges from the crowd brandishing a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg Hudson: My god, people are appearing out of the woodwork tonight! Gertner: Yeah... it's chaos! STD proceeds to take out his whole family with the steel chair until just Ultimo Dudley II is left. The Angry Asian Inbred develops a look of a startled mouse. Double DDT from the Innovators! 1...2...3! Match Rating: C+ STD picks up a mic. STD: I will not rest until I find out what secret my daddy was keepin'. You understand me, mothaf**kas? But before dat, there's some important sh*t to take care of. Ricky mothaf**kin' Marvin... in just five days, mothaf**ka, I'm gonna beat your ass 'til it's as black as mine and blue as a Jenna Jameson flick! That I-double-A belt is comin' back to West Side Dudleyville! Gertner: Well, I don't know which I'm itching to see more... The Dudleyz versus The Innovators or Ricky Marvin versus STD. Hudson: Do me a favour and don't ever use STD in the same sentence as "itching" ever again. "Ready or Not" by the Fugees blares around the arena <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> Gertner: Da Over-Rated Guy? Andrew Martin emerges from the back with his hair, once again, died black. It is tied in a ponytail but rather than a small strand hanging at the front, he has a full emo fringe going on. He wears a black ring waistcoat with a phone number for Alcoholics Anonymous on the back. He holds a toothpick between his teeth and a bottle of whisky in his left hand. Hudson: Wow, this is a little close to the bone. Gertner: Do me a favour and don't ever use the word "bone" again. It doesn't sound right coming from you. Hudson: I didn't mean... Oh, never mind. After taking a few swigs from the bottle, he hands it to a ringside fan. He then struts and sways his way down to the ring, grabbing a microphone on the way. The fans are ready to chant his opening line with him. Martin: Hey yo... There is a huge cheer. Martin: It's me, it's me The D.O.G. - Da Overrated Guy! Now, see, people call me "Da Bad Guy" but I ain't sure that's fair, so, I've gone with "Overrated Guy"... maybe "Da Not So Great Guy" or even "Da Never Quite Good Enough To Win A World Title Guy". Hudson: Ouch... Martin: But I'm still at the top of the "Why Watch?" Federation 'cos of my political allegiances, chico, and my willingness to keep down real talent like... I dunno... say Andrew Martin. Having seen enough, Brandon Thomaselli starts the match by attacking the D.O.G. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomasellisuit.jpg Once again, Martin dominates. In the sixth minute, he hits a Crucifix Powerbomb! Hudson: It's the Alcholic's Edge! Gertner: Or... the Out-Cider's Edge! Hudson: Joel? Gertner: Yeah. Hudson: Shut up. Martin makes the cover for the fall. Match Rating: C Shawn Michaels is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg Michaels: It's common knowledge that I wasn't really feeling taking on my former tag partner, Van Dam, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. "RVD versus HBK", "The Whole F**kin' Show versus The Showstopper", "Mister Pay Per View versus Mister Main Event". Well, you fans might have some difficulty in choosing a side and no way am I gonna be arrogant enough to say the result is obvious but, I'll tell you what... this is gonna be the match of the year! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg The two men put on another fantastic match in which neither man seems to gain a major advantage. In the twelfth minute, Guerrera hooks up Styles for a Juvi Driver. However, the champion slips over the challengers shoulder to land behind him. Juvi turns... Enziguiri! As the challenger falls, the champion heads up top. Hudson: Could it be? CORKSCREW SOMMERSAULT LEG DROP! Hudson: Spiral Tap! However, Juvi hooks his leg and rolls through into a pin... ...1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Hudson: He did it! He did it! Guerrera has his first ECW Gold! The fans apllaud as Guerrera grabs the belt and falls to his knees in celebration. However, the celebration is short-lived as Ultimo Dragon appears at the entrance-way with Francine. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg Hudson: It's the number one contender! Ultimo Dragon is here! Gertner: I thought he was dead. Hudson: Injured, Joel. Not dead but clearly the ECW Television means too much for him to take time off. Gertner: ...and can you imagine if Juvi loses the title on Friday? How much will it suck to lose the strap to Francine's new guy. Hudson: Certainly, the subplot to this mtach is going to be quite fascinating. Dragon points at Francine and runs his hand down her chest as if to say "You may have the belt but I have the girl!" He then motions to his waist, indicating that the title won't belong to Juvi for long either. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Once again, the four men combine for a stellar match. The bad blood is obvious but in an obvious act of tension building, Paul Burchill never sees any ring-time with Raven and Vito never sees any with Punk. The match is an extremely even contest. That is until in the tenth minute when Punk lands a lowblow on Burchill. Chris Jericho comes running out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Hudson: It's Chris Jericho! Gertner: What the hell is he doing out here? Hudson: Well, he got screwed over by Hero and Punk last week not to mention how he could screwed out of the title... However, Chris Hero runs down the aisle-way close behind him. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg Gertner: ...and Hero wants a piece of Jericho. Both men slide in and enter the fight as Referee, Jim Molineaux, looks rather confused. Jerry Lynn runs down and slides in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg "The Dynamic One" immediately starts pummeling the crap out of Kurt Angle. What was a tag match seems to generate into an indecipherable brawl. Kurt Angle runs down and joins the frey. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Hudson: ...and it's Kurt Angle. Gertner: This is getting ridiculous! Hudson: It's an eight-man brawl! Alexis and Nathalie run down to aid the Nest. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpg ...and Jazz and Kelly Thomaselli follow close after to get some payback. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg Gertner: I can't keep up! James Mitchell and Nate Hatred appear at the entrance-way and Hatred grabs Jazz by the hair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg Gertner: What the hell does he want?! Hudson: Knowing the psychopath that is Nate Hatred... propably just to cripple anyone and everyone. Hatred turns Jazz around... ...DECAPITATOR LARIAT! "ECW's NME" now joins the chaos with his barbed wire wrapped iron pentagram. Jim Molineaux now looks entirely bemused. Suddenly, the lights cut out to a huge cheer. When they return, Sabu is in the ring with a steel chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg He proceeds to take out Nate Hatred and then anyone else who moves. Hudson: How the hell are we gonna get a result out of this. Gertner: Err... we aren't. Ricky Marvin bursts through entrance curtain and dances his way down to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RickyMarvin.jpg Gertner: What the hell?! Why is he out here? Hudson: Looks like he just wants to join the party. Gertner: Oh... great. The luchadore reaches ringside and climbs onto the turnbuckle. Jim Molineaux motions as though he is about to call a no-contest. However, Marvin Springboards onto the top rope and hits a Cross Body that connects with Sabu, Nate Hatred and Chris Hero. The force sends the three men tumbling backwards into Jim Molineaux who is flattened. A domino effect continues so that half the people in the ring are laid out. Slyk Tayshaun Dudley emerges from the crowd with a baseball bat. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg The young, militant Dudley slides in and clubs Marvin around the head as the rest of the brawling continues. Gertner: Scew the result... I can't even call this! Hudson: You never call anything anyway. The Dudley Family make their way down to the ring to combat STD. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg They immediately start a 5-on-1 assault on Slyk Dudley. But the cavalry soon shows up. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg Gertner: Oh, for f**k's sake! The Innovators sprint down with Singapore canes and start laying out everyone, starting with the Dudleyz. Rhino now marches down the aisle-way, beating his chest. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg Gertner: Oh, come on! Cut an announcer a break! "The Man Beast" now slides in and starts Goring everything in sight. Sure enough, "The Soul Taker" emerges from the back and joins the frey. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Gertner: My god, how many are there now? Hudson: I don't know... twenty? Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels appear at the entrance-way to a huge ovation. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg The two men watch the carnage for a short while, laughing. They then look at each other, shrufg their shoulder ans smile. Both men sprint to the ring to an even bigger pop. Michaels and Van Dam both climb turnbuckles and nod at each other... ...in unison, they come flying off the top rope landing on everyone brawling, in a massive heap. The force is too much and the ring collapses. Most of the wrestlers lose their footing but those who remain standing continue brawling. Finally, Jim Molineaux is able to get the hell out of the ring and he approaches Bob Artese to announce a rather inevitable no-contest. Match Rating: B+ Hudson: This is pandaemonium! Gertner: It's f**king madness... that's what it is! Hudson: Practically everyone from the November To Remember Card... Gertner: ...plus others... Hudson: ...is involved in this titanic brawl. I'm not gonna even attempt to acll this! We'll see you Friday night for ECW's biggest ever pay-per-view! As the camera focuses on Gertner and Hudson, Ricky Marvin comes flying towards them, flailing his arms as he falls from what is left of the ring. Gertner: Jesus Christ! Hudson: This will surely be a November To Remember! Show Rating: B+

In an office in South Philadelphia... Four men sit around a small table. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Me.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg The faint sounds of Norwegian Death Metal can be heard from the near-by stereo. Heyman: Do we really have to talk with this crap on? Pag: You know it helps me think. Heyman: So you say but that's ridiculous. Pag: Anyhow, Yoshi, how you feeling? Ultimo Dragon waves his hand to suggest that he's not feeling to great. Heyman: Yeah, we're sorry about all this. We assmue you're out of the mix for November To Remember. Dragon nods. Pag: Damn shame but we've gotta make this work somehow and Paul E and I are wondering how best to deal with it. Mysterio: How exactly do I fit in? Heyman: Well, usually I'm loathe to lie to the fans. However, we've spent six months writing this story and to just stick in a replacement would be ridiculous. Mysterio: Okay, so? Pag: So, how would you feel... both of you... about Rey wearing Yoshi's mask at November To Remember and competing as Ultimo Dragon? Both men look shocked. Heyman: We understand if you don't want to go ahead because we get how much heritage is tied up in both of your characters. However, we would ask you to please consider. Ultimo Dragon is the first to speak up. Dragon: For me, is okay. I rather my character's story finish than not... even if I not one to finish it. Pag: Wow... thank you. Rey shook his head. Rey: Okay, I see where you're coming from. We have similar styles, we're a similar size, similar skin tone and such but, even if I did say yes, do you not think the "Mexican" tattoo across my stomach might be a give-away. Heyman: Cover it. Mysterio: How? Pag: Well, people know Yoshi's hurt... they just don't know how he's hurt yet 'cos we haven't released a press statement. I say you wear Yoshi's trunks and boots but then wear a longsleeve lycra top under his shoulder pads. That covers your tattoos and we can claim he's wearing it as support for his... err... "broken ribs". Mysterio smiles. Mysterio: I gotta be honest... this is unbelievably weird but, if Yoshi's okay with it, so am I. Heyman and Pag now smile.

Just stop it now... because, invariably, I'm too tempted to run with your ideas . Show up soon, I hope. About to start writing it up. Quote The Raven Nevermore

I might roll with that at some stage. However, knowing your sense of humour as I think I now do, I get the feeling you might like the direction the Dudleyz gimick(s) will be heading. Quote The Raven Nevermore

Front Page Announcement: The history of the ECW Triple Crown has been added to the title histories on the first page. Quote The Raven Nevermore

From ECW.com

Aah, cheers for the heads up, mate. That's really pissed me off! Fat Of The Land was released on XL who are (or, at least, were independent). Always respected Prodigy for that. I guess those tight-fisted bellends at Warner have taken 'em over. GRRR ARGH! Problem is, though, that all the video hosting sites seem to be doing it. So, if anyone knows of a site that isn't so ridiculously obnoxious, please let me know. Thank you very much, mate. I always love it when I get feedback on The Dudleyz angle 'cos it's one of my favourite creations I've managed. As a side note, the whole "Dudley Secret" is going to be a catalyst for some major happenings in the tag ranks over the coming months. It should be ludicrously over the top and I'm very much looking forward to writing it . Hope you enjoy reading it. Quote The Raven Nevermore

Thank you for the response, mate, but, currently this is my ownly thought. For those wondering, it's legit and it means that potentially six months (and that's only in-game time) of storytelling could go down the crapper. I don't actually play the game with autosave on 'cos I do stupid stuff like forget to advance book or accidentally mix up Raven and Rhino at the booking screen. So, technically I could have gone back and negated the injury but all this stuff is why the game is fun and challenging. It's just hurrendously annoying that it's happened now and not even just one week earlier, which might have given me time to write an alternative, short-term story. I might see what I can do. Sorry, bud, didn't see this at first. It got pushed back a page, for want of a better description. Thank you for the feedback as always and I now wish I'd included that nuance . Quote The Raven Nevermore

^Show above^ Backstage Ultimo Dragon hobbles back through the curtain, supported by Francine. Daniels and Mysterio follow slightly behind. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg Daniels: Sh*t, man... are you okay? There is no answer. Francine: He's really in trouble! Charlie Pag and Paul Heyman rush over. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Me.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Yoshi, what's up, man? Pag: Can we get some help, here? EMTs rush over and look over Ultimo Dragon while the other five people present look worried. EMT: It looks like a cracked sternum. Francine: Oh, no. The ECW owner punches the wall. Pag: F**K! F**K! F**K! Now what?! Mysterio: Man, I'm so sorry. I think I angled my shoulder when you hit. I'm so sorry. Daniels: It's not your fault, man. We were both taking the move. Heyman: It's just one of those things, guys. Pag: I'm sorry, Yoshi! Heyman: What do we do now? Pag: I have no f**king idea!

OOC: This is another one of those long-but-worth-reading shows. It's fairly vital to November To Remember XV and all the long-running stories, notably the Paul E segment. Cheers and happy reading . Saturday, week 3, November <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Bloodsweatbeers.flv"></embed> 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 and , of course, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. Tonight should be great, man. On Revolution, they got that sweet TV Title Number One Contender's match but, now, we got one of our own. Joey: ...and it should be fantastic, Taz. In fact, You can't doubt that some of the best talent in the wrestling world is on display tonight. Taz: No doubt and it's all in preperation for the biggest damn event in ECW history, man: November To Remember Fifteen! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg The two hardcore veterans put on a good match that quickly turns "extreme". The fans seem happy to see Tanaka back but it is short-lived. Sabu takes the advantage and doesn't look back. He hits the Triple Jump Moonsault in the tenth minute for the win. Match Rating: B- However, as the bell rings, Nate Hatred slides into the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg As the monster lifts his fist, it becoms clear that he has barbed wire wrapped around his fist. He hits a haymaker on Sabu. Taz: Damn... are we supposed to have this stuff on this network? Joey: I wouldn't draw attention to it. Sabu goes down, bleeding from his forehead. Hatred unwraps the wire from his fist and hooks it around Sabu's neck. Joey: OH MY GOD! Taz: What the hell? Hatred uses the wire to pick Sabu up by the neck. He drags him to the ropes and throws him over. Taz: My god, he's hanging... Suddenly, the show feed cuts out. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CPA2zX2E5sc/SeTxMGu143I/AAAAAAAAAdw/kT3MVpLpYfc/s320/technical_difficulties.gif The feed cuts to a promo for the World Heavyweight Champion. <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven1.flv"> As the show returns, the back of EMTs can be seen as they wheel Sabu to the back. Sabu himself is not visible. Joey: Our sincere apologies to all viewers. We... err... had no idea that was going to happen. Taz: I can't believe what I've just seen, man! "Diesel Power" by Prodigy blares around the arena. <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> Joey: It's... err... "Deezel"? Taz: Yeah, man, Big Daddy Tool! Martin strides down to the ring wearing sunglasses, his hair died black. He wears a bandana and makes a series of recognisable hand gestures. He steps over the ring ropes and grabs a mic. Martin: Ahem... He pauses. Martin: HONK! HONK! He makes the motion of pulling a truck horn. Martin: HONK! HONK! Taz: Err... what?! Martin: That's right, people... I am a truck! I am DEEZEL! I mean, who came up with that?! Really... who came up with that?! Again, he pauses. Martin: Let's be fair, though, better a truck than "a train"... at least I don't have to shave my back. I've always been better at back scratching than back shaving if you know what I mean. Yet, despite what must be the worst name in the history of the industry I still made it to superstardom. Y'know why? 'Cos I'm big. That's it. It takes six guys to get me out of a battle royal and we all know that's the basic premise for any push in the Waste Workers Federation. The best bit, though, is that in 1996 I jumped to dub-C-dub only for Vince to welcome me back with open arms 'cos "the boys" were just so darned happy for me to come home. Now, I'm gonna borrow a phrase from Big Stevie... I got three words for ya. Taz: Uh-oh. Martin: KLIQ FOR LIFE! Sal Thomaselli comes to the ring and the bell is rung. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomasellisuit.jpg Again, Martin flat-out dominates. In only the sixth minute he hits a Big Boot. Thomaselli staggers to his feet... Sheer Release Powerbomb! Joey: The Swiss Army Knife Powerbomb! Taz: Swiss Army Knife?! Joey: Impressive to look at but surprisingly ineffective as an offensive weapon. Taz: Gotcha. Martin picks up the fall. Match Rating: C+ Martin raises his fingers in a devil horns sign to the crowd. Shawn Michaels emerges through the curtain to a huge ovation. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg HBK walks down to the ring with a slightly amused look on his face. He grabs a microphone before sliding in and hitting his pose. Joey: Wow... the first time Michaels and "Deezel" have been in a ring together for twelve years. Taz: ...and we all know the heat there. Michaels: Err... Deezel... Kevin Trash... or, I dunno, maybe... BACKSTABBING PIECE OF SH*T! The pop is immense. Michaels: First of all, I would like to extend an apology to Andrew Martin. It's not his fault he looks so gosh darn convincing but I've been waiting to do this for nine years and, let's be honest, it's clearly the point in this whole angle. Martin looks at the crowd and nods in agreement. SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Joey: Super Kick and Deezel is down! Michaels turns to the camera. Michaels: Some day, Nash, some day it'll be for real. In the mean time, tell "Justin" I want my f**king gimmick back! Oh, and between me and you, the D-X shtick went outta style before I even left... just a thought. (OOC: Not the parody with the most "lol potential", I know, but, in view of the backstory, I figured it had to be done) As the fans go nuts, the camera cuts to the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg Daizy: The Dudley family is in a crisis of sorts. Not only are we facing an onslaught from the Innovators, we're also getting threats from somewhere a little closer to home. D-Von: Oh, my sister, TESTIFY! Home is where the Dudleyz are and, STD, you better know you're sh*tting on your own doorstep. Now, I don't know what this family secret you keep talking about is but, judging by your attitude kid, the reason Big Dick f**ked off was you! You, more than anyone should know better than anyone the eleventh commandment: Ultimo Dudley starts dancing. Ultimo Dudley II: I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese. I learry think so... D-Von: God damn it, that is not the eleventh commandment. My brotha... Bubba Ray: THOU SHALT NOT F**K WITH THE D... D.. D.D... D... DD... D... Big Dick Jr joins in. Big Dick Jr: D... D.. D.D... DD... D..D.D... D-von slaps Bubba as Daizy slaps Dick. Bubba & Dick: DUDLEYZ! Ultimo Dudley does jazz hands. The camera cuts back to the ring where RVD, Jerry Lynn and Kurt Angle have now joined Shawn Michaels. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg The match is a very even contest. However, from a clear marketting perspective, when RVD is the legal man he only ever seems to face Angle while Michaels only seems to face Lynn. Eventually, in the twelfth minute, Michaels tags Angle in to face Lynn. Collar and Elbow Tie-up... ...but Angle drops to his knees and lowblows Lynn. Joey: Oh, come on. Van Dam and Michaels shoot each other a glance and clearly come to an understanding. They both enter the ring and start kicking the crap out of Kurt Angle to huge applause. Taz: Well, that's unconventional but I can't say I'm disappointed. After a 3-on-1 beatdown and a Cradle Piledriver, Lynn makes the cover for the fall. Match Rating: B "The Soul Taker" is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Calaway: I suppose congratulations are in order, Rhino. You truly kicked the hell outta me earlier in the week but, let's be honest, you jumped me from behind. I can understand it, son, but whilst my actions last week seem sick it was just to get in your head and you had every bit of it coming to you. The thing is, though, at November To Remember, I'm starting to think lives may be at stake. Yhe only trouble for you is that you just can't kill a deadman. International All Action Title Tournament http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Excalibur.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RickyMarvin.jpg The match absolutely bombs. The infamously vocal crowd don't take well to two such unestablished talents wrestling. Marvin picks up the win with a Shining Wizard in the sixth minute. Match Rating: F+ As the bell rings, Slyk Dudley sprints to the ring with a baseball bat. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg He takes out Marvin from behind with a shot from the bat. STD: I hope you realise, mothaf**ka, that the I-Double-A belt ain't going to mexico. It's coming with me to West Side mothaf**kin' Dudleyville! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg The future of ECW is showcased in this one and all four men do a very good job of showing why. It is an extremely even match-up with neither team gaining an advantage. However, in the twelfth minute, Jericho hits the Lionsault on Hero. He covers only for Punk to run in and break up the fall. Vito enters and a brawl breaks out between the two young adversaries. Jericho stands ready to get involved. However, Hero rolls him up in a Schoolboy. He gets his feet on the middle rope. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B Joey: Damn it! Hero and Punk stole it! Taz: Well, we've come to expect it from Chris Hero. Paul Heyman walks to the ring with a bag under his arm. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: I am out here to make some announcements regarding November To Remember Fifteen and the future of ECW. As you know, Pag went to huge efforts to restore the "natural order" and I plan to bring ECW into a new era, starting with the best damn pay-per-view this industry has ever seen. The crowd cheer. "THANK YOU, PAUL! THANK YOU, PAUL!" Heyman: Remember Wrestlemania Twenty? Well, forget it. It won't be worth remembering after this Friday. Huge pop. Heyman: However, I'm sure you've all noticed that tickets haven't actually gone on sale yet and we haven't even announced a venue. Well, there was no need to release tickets early 'cos they'll be sparse in number. Joey: What? I thought we'd be plugging this like crazy. Heyman: You may remember a news report recently saying that ECW had put in a bid to own a certain former bingo hall. Well, guess where November To Remember is taking place... An even bigger pop is heard. Heyman: ...The original ECW F**KING ARENA! Taz: Oh, hell yeah. Joey: Now I understand! Heyman: However, I can confirm that this will be the last ever wrestling event witnessed at Viking Hall because it will be converted into the new ECW Hall Of Hardcore in which we will commemorate the services of the very best ECW wrestlers from the past fifteen years. We will hold annual ceremonies and, much like a far less prestigious community, inductions will take place the night before the real biggest wrestling show of the year: November To Remember! Taz: Is it just me or are we present for something special? Joey: You wait 'til Friday! Heyman: The next piece of business concerns the various championships in this promotion. Over the course of the last eighteen months, we have debuted two titles, the International All Action Championship and the Lioness Championship. I see no reason to reform them so soon into their history. However, given that we're ushering in a new era, I figured it's time to give some old belts a new makeover. Firstly, The Dudley Boyz and The Hardcore Innovators will meet next week to unify the tag titles. So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, allow me to present to you the Undisputed ECW Tag Team Championship. Heyman pulls two belts out of the bag. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagBelt.jpg Heyman: Of course, these will be exclusive to the very best tag team in America and we will find out who that is soon enough. Second, given all the confusion that has surrounded the World Television Champion, it's time to sort it out. You all know that the winner of tonight's main event will face the winner of AJ Styles' and Juventud Guerrera's rematch. However, what you didn't know is that they will face them at November To Remember because that rematch happens next week on Revolution! As such, whoever walks out of November To Remember with the strap will be undeniably deserving and he will be the first to hold this, the newly designed ECW World Television Championship belt: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg Heyman: ...and, finally, we all know the controversy that has surrounded the World Heavyweight Title over the last year during what has been dubbed Raven's reign of terror. Well, at November To Remember, it all ends! I'm not making anything in Paul Burchill's favour; if Raven retains the belt fairly, then I applaud him. However, the following stipulations will be in place: if anyone not directly involved in the match-up, and that includes both the Nest and Shane Douglas, so much as lays a finger on either competitor, they will be immediately fired. Moreover, lawyers are currently drawing up release contracts that will legally ban such workers from signing with the Federation if they breech this stipulation. So, put simply, if you interfere, you're f**ked! The crowd erupts. Heyman: Oh, but if you like that, you'll love this. We need an undisputed champion for the new era. Someone who deserves the title and can make fair defences without constantly looking over his shoulder. As such, at November To Remember, Paul Burchill versus Raven will be... He pauses. There is complete hush. Heyman smiles. Heyman: ...A LOSER LEAVES ECW MATCH! Joey: OH MY GOD! Taz: Wow! Just wow! I don't know where Raven is right now but he's gotta be tearing his hair out. Joey: Yeah... talk about giving both guys an added incentive! Heyman: The man who stays will be awarded the Undisputed ECW World Heavyweight Championship: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldBelt.jpg Heyman: ...and there is one final piece of business. Thank you, sincerely! To everyone who attends ECW shows, to everyone who reads this diary... Joey: What diary? Taz: Just roll with it. Joey: Fair enough. Heyman: ...to everyone who has shown an interest in ECW over the last fifteen years, thank you. We hope to repay you this coming Friday at November To Remember, a November that will be impossible to forget! Heyman walks to the back to a standing ovation. Joey: So, I guess this means whoever wins this last match books himself a ticket at November To Remember. Taz: No doubt, Joey, and deservedly so. ECW World Television Championship Number One Contendership Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpg Once again, these three men put on a great match, particularly in view of their overness levels. The match is extremely even and no clear advantage shows. In the fifteenth minute, Mysterio floors Daniels with a Hurricanra. He heads out to the apron and follows up with a Sprinboard Leg Drop. Before he has a chance to cover, he is hit with the Asai DDT. Ultimo Dragon instructs Francine to enter the ring and position both Daniels and Mysterio next to one another. Dragon heads up top... Corkscrew Moonsault which hits both of his opponents. Dragon screams in pain. Joey: Oh... Taz: Damn, I think he hurt himself. He rolls over and doubles up in pain, groaning slightly. Francine checks on him... he doesn't move. Eventually, he staggers to his feet, clutching his chest. He bends over slowly and covers Daniels. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Joey: That's it! Ultimo Dragon is going to November To Remember! I hope he's okay. Taz: Me too but, man, I just had a thought. What if Juvi wins on Monday? Joey: Then he's the new TV champ... Taz: Yeah, and he goes to November To Remember too. What the hell is Francine gonna do? Joey: Good point. I guess we might find out. Ultimo Dragon hobbles to the back with Francine supporting his weight. He looks in a very bad way. Show Rating: B+ OOC: Huge thanks to Game-Face for the belt cuts!

I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: Recently, on Revolution, we have had some blockbuster main events but, surely, nonw with such potential as the four-way match for the Number One Contendership to the ECW World Television Title! Gertner: Yeah... but that's only 'cos all the Lioness matches seem to happen on Saturdays. Hudson: I was trying to be serious. Gertner: So was I. There's some real... "talent"... in that division. Gertner: Let's just get on with it. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomasellisuit.jpg The two youngsters put on a good match. However, the self-proclaimed "Saviour of ECW" seems to maintain a slight advantage. In the tenth minute, "Uncle" Sal Thomaselli is put away with the Hero's welcome. Match Rating: B After the match, Hero grabs a microphone. Hero: I'm sure most of you were watching Blood, Sweat & Beers and witnessed Chris Jericho's quite remarkable display of cowardice. You see, anyone, even a hero, can be defeated when attacked from behind but to beat an individual of superhuman capabilities in a one-on-one, face-to-face fight is something rather different. Now, since it seems like acceptable behaviour to conduct yourself like a prick around here, consider the following a lesson in proper demeanour. Hudson: Oh, no, here we go. Hero: A hero knows not only his strengths but his limitations and acts according to both. As such, a good hero knows the sense in keeping adversaries from being able to take revenge at a later date. However, he does so only after beating him in a fair fight. For instance... Hero starts laying the boots into a floored Sal Thomaselli. The jeers ring out. Hudson: Oh, this is completely unnecessary. Hero: It is also essential that a good hero demonstrates, to all those villains who threaten him, the consequences of their actions. Chris Jericho, you might want to look at this as a taster of what's to come for you. Thomalselli is choked out by Hero's boot. Hudson: Where the hell is Brandon? Gertner: Are you kidding? He's preparing for a match with ECW's Most Extreme Athlete! Chris Jericho runs out in street clothes. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Hudson: No matter... It's Chris Jericho! Gertner: ...and he's clearly just arrived at the arena. "The Lionheart" slides in and takes the fight straight to Hero. After a short brawl, the brash rookie is floored. Jericho starts to removes his coat. However, a grounded Hero kicks him below the belt. Hudson: Oh... and I suppose that's hero-like behaviour is it?! Jericho collapses as Hero ducks out to ringside and grabs a chair. He slides in and starts choking out Jericho with the steel. He then turns to land a steel shot to the still-unconscious Sal Thomaselli. Vito Thomaselli runs out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Hudson: It's Vito! Vito Thomaselli! Gertner: Meh... who needs Brandon? Vito slides in and boots Hero to the gut. He hooks him up for the Vito Driver. However, Hero slides off his shoulders. Vito turns to face him. Jab... No! It's blocked. A wild brawl breaks out as Chris Jericho staggers to his feet. Finally, to make the situation even more chaotic, CM Punk runs out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg As Raven's protege enters, the brawl turns into a 2-on-w affair as Punk and Hero team up in a slugfest against Vito and Jericho. Security floods the ring to separate the four men. A video is shown to promote the World Heavyweight Champion. <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Raven3-1.flv"> International All Action Title Tournament Semi-Final http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TeddyHart.jpg Overness, considered the youngsters put on a very respectable match-up. Hart puts up a good showing early on. However, the sheer pissed off tenacity of STD proves too much. Slyk wins with the Sticky Situation in 5:54. Match Rating: D+ After the match, the militant Dudley takes a microphone. STD: Did you see that sh*t, mothaf**kas?! Slyk Tayshaun Motha-F**kin' Dudley just kicked the sh*t out of another punk ass white-boy p*ssy bitch! Hudson: Wow... is it actually possible to fit anymore curse words into a single sentence? Gertner: I'll certainly try. Hudson: You certainly won't! STD: This mothaf**kin' title is as good as mine and, whichever whitey wins next week, he is in for a world o' pain! And, then, the same goes for my family if I don't be findin' out what damn secret my daddy knew. Belee' dat, mothaf**kas... West Side Dudleyville represent! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpg Both teams look as though they have a major point to prove. The True World Order continue their run of good form. However, The Whole F**kin' Show look on fire. In the tenth minute, Michaels Super Kicks Sasuke clean over the top rope. RVD floors Stevie Richards with the Van Daminator. Michaels and Van Dam head up opposite turnbuckles to a huge ovation. Gertner: Here we go... 420 Splash! Hudson: The Frog Splash from RVD; the Elbow from Shawn Michaels. That has to be all! Van Dam covers. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B Michaels grabs a microphone. Michaels: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your victors... despite not teaming in the future they currently are and shall forever remain everyone's favourite tag team. Van Dam leans in to speak. RVD: ...and mine. Michaels & RVD: THE WHOLE F**KIN' SHOW! The crowd erupts. Paul Heyman walks out and enters the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Well, you guys are certainly my favourite team. If you remember, it was my idea to turn you oys into an on-screen team and I've got to admit that it kind of sucks that you're not gonna be teaming together anymore. Hudson: Can't argue with that. Heyman: However, if there is one thing that has the potential to be as entertaining, if not more entertaining, than you two teaming... it's something that one of you seems to desperatley want. More important than that, though, is the fact that every single ECW fan wants to see it. So, Shawn, I'm sorry to go over your head but, at November To Remember Fifteen, it will be RVD versus HBK! The crowd explodes. Heyman: "The Whole F**kin' Show" versus "The Showstopper"... Rob Van Dam versus Shawn Michaels! Hudson: Oh my! This could be the match of the year! RVD looks at Michaels to gauge his reaction. Michaels smiles and shrugs his shoulders. The two former partners slap hands and exchange a few inaudible words before heading to the back with Paul Heyman. The camera cuts to the back, where arena staff are running for safety. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Mark Calaway lies on the corridoor floor. Rhino stands over him with a biker's chain in hand. He cracks the thick steel chain over Calaway's ribs. Rhino: You may have thought you were clever last week but I guarantee that was the stupidest f**king thing you've ever done! You've spent the last fifteen years calling yourself "The Deadman". Well, at November To Remember, your wish comes true! Rhino plants his boot into Calaway's face before walking off. Hudson: Oh my... Gertner: Well, Taz said there would be hell to pay and he wasn't wrong! Yoshihiro Tajiri walks to the ring and stands awaiting his opponent. "No Class" by Motorhead blares through the arena speakers as the arena is plunged into darkness. <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> Andrew Martin walks through the curtain with his hair wet and pulled back. The arena lights turn green and pan across the entrance way. Martin carries a water bottle in his right hand. He spits a mouthful of water out and strides down to the ring. Gertner: Wow... this seems familiar. Hudson: Yeah but I can't quite put my finger on it. The crowd seem to catch on and start a "H-G-H" chant. Martin reaches the ring and walks beside it, pouring the water over his head. He catches some in his mouth and throws the bottle into the cowd before climbing up onto the apron. He turns to face the fans, resting his back on the ropes. He leans his arms on the top rope, tilts his head back and spits the water in a fountain above his head. The full arena lights come back on as he grabs a microphone. Hudson: Well, I guess this is the debut promo by HGH: Hunter "Girth" Hemsleigh. Gertner: Do you reckon he's any good on the mic? Hudson: I don't know but I get the feeling he'll be dramatically overrated. Martin smiles at the crowd. Martin: It's all about the name and not the talent. It's all about control and if you can take it... He pauses. Martin: ...by screwing the boss' daughter. Huge pop. Martin: That's right... I am "HGH: The Human Growth Hormone", Hunter "Girth" Hemsleigh and, for those of you who watched "Survivor: Fiji" last night or whatever the hell it is we call that pay-per-view where we don't even hold tag matches anymore, you will know that I am now a four time "What's Workrate?" Federation Champion! Gertner: I dunno... I kinda like him. Martin: But the important thing to know is that I didn't get there through hard work and paying my dues. No... that would be the suckers way! I got there by knocking up the boss' daughter and politicking the top spots for me and my buddies... and you know why? Hudson: Why? Martin: Because I am... THAT... DAMN... SELFISH! Martin slams the mic down and the bell rings as the fans go nuts. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpg Martin destroys Tajiri. In the sixth minute he ducks out to ringside and looks for a weapon under the ring. Gertner: What's he looking for? Hudson: I'm sure we'll find out. He re-emerges. Hudson: It's an inflatable hammer! Martin slides in with the inflatable toy and waits for Tajiri to stand. The buzzsaw is hit in the face with the blow-up hammer. Pausing for a split second, Tajiri proceeds to walk a few paces backwards and hurl himself over the top rope in the worst case of selling ever seen. Martin flexes his muscles. "THAT DAMN SELFISH" *Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap* Tajiri staggers to his feet and slides back in. He walks straight into a boot to the gut. Double Underhook Facebuster! Gertner: It's The Mongrel! He hit The Mongrel! Martin covers. 1...2...3! Match Rating: C- Martin picks up a mic. Martin: Hey, Vince... f**k you and your son-in-law! The camera cuts to the back where "The New Franchise" stands with his manager. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg Douglas: History lesson for those who don't know... in 1993, a promotion was founded by the name of ECW, a promotion which took the wrestling world by storm with it's new, high-risk style. The only problem was that, come 1995, it was struggling to stay afloat because of financial difficulties and talent raids. Well, through that dark time one man carried this place on his shoulders with an unprecedented 736 day reign as World Heavyweight Champion. In so doing, he was recognised as one of the very best that the industry had to offer and he earned the nickname "The Franchise". That man... was me. He pauses. Douglas: ...but that was just over ten years ago and times have moved on. Nevertheless, in the passage of all this time, only one man has emerged as "The New Franchise", capable of carrying this promotion into a new era and, at November To Remember Fifteen, he receives the opportunity to prove his point. Burchill: You see, Raven, you fired Shane, you had me do your bidding for nearly a year, you hospitalised my girlfriend and then you fired me. All of that... ALL of it is put right at November To Remember. That title is mine and you know it because you have never faced me in a fair fight before. Douglas: At November To Remember Fifteen, the new era begins. The camera cuts back to ringside. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomasellisuit.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg The two up-and-comers put on a very good match. However, it is extremely one-sided as "ECW's NME" destroys Thomaselli with the help of James Mitchell. In the twelfth minute, the young Italian is put away with the Decapitator Lariat. Match Rating: B+ As Mitchell congratulates Hatred, the lights cut out. When they come back on, Sabu stands in the ring with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg "The Human Highlight Reel" Throws the chair in Hatred's face. The monster goes down as Mitchell flees the ring. Sabu sets up the chair and rebounds of the ropes... Triple Jump Moonsault! Hatred is left down and out as Sabu points to the heavens. Kurt Angle stands backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Angle: Eleven days, Jerry. Just eleven days until you break your ankle. You see, this is gonna be ECW's biggest ever pay-per-view, I am Kurt Angle and you... will tap out.

The contest is extremely even and no clear advantage is evident. In the fourteenth minute, both Daniels and Guerrera are floored. Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon exchange a series of quick arm drags and hip tosses but the stalemate isn't broken. Francine slides a chair in. Dragon grabs it and nails Mysterio. Guerrera springs to his feet in a single jump. Ultimo Dragon turns around. Guerrera dropkicks the steel into his face! He climbs the turnbuckle. 450 Splash! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Hudson: Guerrera did it! He's got another shot at the title. Gertner: Yeah... but what a way for Dragon to get pinned. As Guerrera celebrates, Francine slides in to check on Ultimo Dragon. She leans over him to see if he is conscious. Juvi walks up behind her. Gertner: Oh dear... Francine looks up at the stone-faced luchadore. She looks back down at Ultimo Dragon. The show goes off-air with Francine in a very confusing predicament. Show Rating: B+

Well, I'm not quite reliving that trainwreck but you ain't too far wrong. If I manage to write this up as I plan, Test's gimmick could be one of my favourite that I've ever come up with. Quote The Raven Nevermore

I'm Joey Styles and , of course, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. Tonight should be great, man, as The Nest is forced to take on three of the best that ECW has to offer. Joey: ...and let's not forget that Rhino, Shawn Michaels and Andrew Martin are all in action, not to mention the Tag Team match involving the four leading TV Title hopefuls. Taz: ...and, if I ain't mistaken, that's up first... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg The four cruiserweights put on a somewhat disappointing performance. Chris Daniels, in particular, looks to be off form. Juventud Guerrera and Rey Mysterio Jr hold a slight advantage until the seventh minute. That is when the alliance seems to break down. Guerrera goes for a Spinning Wheel Kick on Ultimo Dragon. Dragon ducks and Mysterio is nailed. As Guerrera takes out Ultimo Dragon with a Hurricanrana, Mysterio rises... and floors his own partner with a punch. A brawl breaks out between "Los Increibles". Chris Daniels capitalises, taking both men out with a chair. He covers Mysterio but Ultimo Dragon breaks up the pin. Taz: This is insane! Neither team is functioning. Dragon hits the Asai DDT on Daniels. Guerrera rises, hitting the Juvi Driver in Ultimo Dragon. Mysterio now strikes Guerrera from behind but is thrown over the top rope. Guerrera climbs the turnbuckle. 450 Splash to Daniels! 1...2...3! Match Rating: C Joey: Well, Juventud Guerrera certainly came out of that looking good. Taz: Yeah, and after the issues with his title challenge last week, he's gotta be the number one contender in my mind. Guerrera bows his head to Francine who stands at ringside before making his way to the back. The Hardcore Innovators are backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg Dreamer: Y'know, it's hilarious. Bubba and D-Von kleep saying how they're gonna take these title belts back and control the tag division but they can't even control their own family. Cactus: The fact is, when there is such dischord in the Dudley camp itself, it seems wrong of them to assume that they can possibly be succesful. The Tsar of Russia was removed from power by internal pressure and, a little closer to home, WCW closed its doors mainly due to the dissatisfaction of its own talent. It seems like our job is almost done for us since Slyk Dudley is now running about but, just to remove all doubt, at November To Remember XV, not only are we going to win both tag team titles, we are gonna leave with all four belts and be the first ECW Undisputed Tag Team Champions. International All Action Title Tournament http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Excalibur.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulLondon.jpg The two men put on a fairly decent match-up. The contest is even until Excalibur hits the Galactica Phantom in the sixth minute. It is enough for him to pick up the fall. Match Rating: D Every ECW fan's least favourite music bblares through the arena speakers. <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: Hello, ignorant marks of Richmond Virginia. It is I, "The Saviour of ECW", Chris Hero... that means you're supposed to clap now. The inevitable jeers ensue. Hero: You see what I mean? Ignorant... Joey: What an idiot. Taz: He sure knows how to wind up an audience. Hero: But I'm afraid I'm not out here to discuss your intellectual shortfallings. No, that would be a waste of my time and I already pay far too many taxes to support the government's futile efforts to educate your mentally retarded offspring. As such, this segment is aimed solely at those sensible and forward thinking enough to appreciate the brilliance of Chris Hero. Joey: Something tells me that could be a rather small number of people. Hero: You see, I am merely out here to assure you few good people that my loss to Paul Burchill earlier this week was a one-off and that I was, sadly, a victim of hostile circumstance. In no way should you fear that I have sunk to the level of those such as Chris Jericho who now earn a living being little more than human punch-bags for the more-talented and superior entertainers. In no way should you fear that I, like Chris Jericho, feel it necessary to interfere in a younger, better looking athletes matches in the vain hope that some of his natural brilliance and charisma will rub off on... Hero is cut off by an elbow to the back of the head. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Jericho locks in The Liontamer on a floored Hero. The crowd applauds the Canadian's ability to shut the rookie up. Hero screams in pain but Jericho refuses to release the hold. Eventually, security flood the ring to erscort Jericho to the back. Hero is left a sobbing wreck in the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpg The two heavyweights put on a decent match. Surprisingly, Martin's height advantage allows him to take the early advantage. However, before long, the sheer feracity of "The Man Beast" shows. Rhino picks up the fall with a Gore in the eighth minute. Match Rating: C+ As Andrew Martin rolls out of the ring, "The Soul Taker" slides in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg As Rhino makes to charge, Calaway holds up a microphone, signalling he wants to speak. Rhino pauses, still pulsing with rage. Taker: I think you might want to let me speak on this one, son. Taz: is this what he was talking about on Monday? Joey: Must be. Taker: You see, son, you got me doing some thinking last week when you said there was nothing I could take from you. You took my bike and said there was plenty else. True enough, I ain't just got my career; I got my bikes, my other possessions and, more important, my family but it's that which got me thinking. Everyone has a family. Rhino glares, rlealising the implication of the comment. Joey: Oh no... Taz: I don't like the sound of that. Taker: Interestingly enough... there ain't that many Gerins in Detroit. Robert is your dad's name, right? Rhino screams at Taker and raises his fists. Taker: I wouldn't son, else you won't find out what I know. You see, I never realised that your dad never approved of you being a wrestler... never wanted you to leave college. Joey: Look at Rhino... he's livid. Taker: But do you know his biggest regret? That due to his strained family relationship, his own son didn't attend his mother's funeral. Taz: What the hell?! Rhino looks confused. Taker: That' right, Terry... three years ago... October 15th 2004 your mother, Olivia, passed away. "YOU SICK F**K, YOU'RE BLUFFING!" Calaway stands there stone-faced. Taker: I'll admit that I made contact with your father with less-than-compassionate inentions but I didn't see that coming. From the bottom of my heart and, in all sincerity, I thought you should know. Joey: I.. I don't know what to say. Rhino shakes his head in disbelief as Calaway puts down the microphone and makes to exit. Taz: How am I supposed to call this? Joey: I don't think we can. Rhino falls to one knee and hides his head in his hand. Their is complete hush in the arena as Calaway turns back around. He walks over to Rhino and extends a hand. "The Man Beast" looks up visibly shaken. He accepts the offer and Calaway helps him to his feet... ...BIG BOOT! Taz: What the hell?! Taker: You dumb f**k... I never called your family. I just talked to some guys in the back who know you and your mother's probably fine for all I know. Joey: What?! Taz: Man, that is sick! Calaway picks up Rhino... CHOKESLAM! Taker: Just let this be a god damn lesson that you don't cross "The Soul Taker". I don't need anything to take from you! I'm half-way to destroying you physically and I can break you mentally whenever I choose. At November To Remember Fifteen, there will be no doubt that you picked the wrong fight, son! "The Soul Taker" walks to the back to a mixed, if not hostile, reaction. Joey: Again, I don't know what to say. I guess all sense of human decency has been lost in this rivalry. Taz: Joey, man... that was plain wrong and I can't help but think there is gonna be hell to pay! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg This one serves as another useful filler Lioness match. Nathalie puts up a decent resistance. However, in the sixth minute, Kelly puts her away with a Roundhouse kick. Match Rating: D+ As the bell rings, Alexis jumps Kelly from behind. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpg The Lioness Champion lays the boots into Thomaselli before helping up Nathalie and heading to the back. Kurt Angle is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Angle: I'm a disgrace to this sport, huh, Jerry?! I'm a cancer upon the industry... coming from a man who, at 44 years old, is still holding the young kids down, is still taking up a place on ECW cards that should be going to younger, fitter, better versions of himself. I didn't betray my country at the World Cup, I gave you a slap in the facethat I can only hope served as a wake-up call, Jerry. See, this ain't the nineties... this is 2007; I am Kurt Angle and you... will tap out! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomasellisuit.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg The two men put on a good match as youth and experience blend well. "Uncle" Sal puts in a good showing but Michaels, seemingly, maintains an advantage. He puts away with Sweet Chin Music in the eleventh minute. Match Rating: B After the match, The True World Order slide in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpg Sasuke and Stevie take out Michaels from behind. They wait for him to stand... Stevie Kick! Joey: Damn it! Someone get out here! Where's Van Dam? Taz: He may not want to help, Joe. However, Van Dam does appear, sprinting out with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg Joey: You were saying? Taz: Fair enough. Stevie bails out of the ring. Sasuke is too slow... ...VAN DAMINATOR! Taz: Hell yeah! RVD helps Michaels to his feet. "WHOLE F**KIN' SHOW! WHOLE F**KIN' SHOW" The two men look out at the crowd as the camera cuts to the back. Becky Bayless stands with Andrew Martin. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpg Becky: Welcome to backstage with Becky. Tonight, I am with Andrew Martin who has recently made his ECW return. Andrew, where have you been for the past year? Martin shakes his head. Martin: I was dumb enough to re-sign with The Federation. Becky: Oooh, tough break. How come? Martin: Paul E didn't seem to have much going for me around here, I got injured last November and, when my contract came up, I thought I'd try a change... more fool me. Becky: ...and what happened? Martin: What do you think? They kicked me to the curb... six months left on my contract and they canned me... again! Becky: Well, we see that, now, you are back in ECW and last week you made one hell of an impact taking out "The Soul Taker" and "The Man Beast". You then defeated Lance Storm on Monday Night but your loss to Rhino tonight seems to have stalled your momentum. Martin: Stalled my momentum? Stalled my momentum?! My entire f**king career is stalled and you know why? Becky shrugs. Martin: Politics. Just because I wasn't friends with the right guys in the back; just because I wasn't nailing the bosses daughter, I'm seen as expendable. In fact, worse than that, time and again, I've been used as a prototype. Becky: A what? Martin: A god damn prototype! They want to debut a new story in the Federation, say the Trips and Steph wedding trainwreck... I'm the guy who starts the programme but I'm canned and sent back home before the first pay-per-view. If you want a reliable jobber... that's me. If someone needs to look legit... hey, let's have him beat Andrew, he's a big f**ker, that'll look good. Well, let me tell you something, Vince, and this goes for you as well, Paul E... I AM F**KING SICK OF IT! I can be a top guy, I could carry any damn programme you write but this "prototype" has always been cast off. Well, now, it's time to take matters into my own hands. I'm gonna prove that I can carry a show and I'll even do it your way! The camera cuts back to the ring. Joey: What the hell does that mean... he'll even do it Vince's way?! Taz: I thought he meant Paul E's way. Joey: Who knows? Taz: I guess we'll find out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg The six men put on a fairly decent match. The involvement of Monsters Inc somewhat lowers the name value, however. The size of the Monsters helps The Nest to control the early-going. However, by the sixth minute, the faces are clearly on top. In the twelfth minute, Jericho locks in The Liontamer on Abyss. Punk runs in to make the save. However, Vito runs into meet him... ...Vito Driver! Goliath enters only to be floored by an Enziguiri courtesy of "The New Franchise". Abyss taps. Match Rating: B Taz: Well, that's gotta be a measure of retribution but I think the real payback is coming at November To Remember. Joey: Well put. As the show goes off-air, The World Heavyweight Champion appears at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg Burchill motions that the belt will soon be his. Meanwhile, Raven looks on nowing that, for now at least, there is nothing he can do. Show Rating: B

I'm Scott Hudson... Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner. Hudson: I'm tempted to say never mind November To Remember, as big as it surely will be. The fallout from Saturday night, alone, is big enough. Gertner: True enough, Scotty boy. RVD trying to convince Shawn Michaels for a one-on-one match and the returnof Andrew Martin... Hudson: ....and even that is forgetting Juventud Guerrera cruelly being denied a fair shot at the World Television Championship. Gertner: Err... I hadn't forgotten. You just interrupted. Hudson: I'll bet. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg The two cruiserweights put on a very good match. The moves are fast-paced and the fans seem highly impressed. AJ Styles puts Mysterio away in the twelfth minute with a Styles Clash to retain the TV Title. Match Rating: B CM Punk is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Punk: Vito, you astound me... really, you do. You have the balls to talk about sticking a cigarette in my mouth as though it's no big deal. As you know, "amico", I am straight edge but what you may be too ignorant to be aware of is that makes me better than you! I have chosen not to offer up my body as a sacrifice to the god of narcissitic hedonism; I have chosen to preserve my natural excellence for the sport of professional wrestling and that is how you will meet your demise. You see, where you too recklessly submit to the parasitic weaknesses of drink, drugs and tobacco, I choose a higher path and, at November To Remember, such choices will be self-evident. That's right, you disgusting, treacherous piece of sh*t, I accept your challenge and, at ECW's biggest ever pay-per-view, you will be on the wrong side of history! International All Action Title Tournament http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScorpioSky.jpg The two youngsters put on a good mtch in view of their relatively low overness. However, STD maintains the momentum throughout. That is until the Second Generation of Duldeyz run in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg However, Slyk grabs a chair from under the ring. As the new Dudley team run in, Ultimo Dudley II receives a steel chair shot to the skull. Big Dick Jr charges in... but only to receive a steel shot to the ribs... ...followed by a secnod shot to the back. Both interfering Dudleyz are floored. Scorpio Sky approaches. Slyk throws the chair at him... only for Scorpio to catch it. STD back elbows the steel into his opponent's face. 1...2...3! Match Rating: D Hudson: Well, it looks like STD isn't going anywhere in this title tournament. Gertner: Yeah, it tends to be a few weeks before they go away... STD picks up a mic. STD: Did you see that, mothaf**kas? Did you see that sh*t? I is da true representation of mothaf**kin' west-side Dudleyville! All dis sh*t about having your god damn gold jacked... mothaf**ka, do I look like I is here to play?! I'm gonna be the only mothaf**kin' Dudley with balls enough to bring some real gold to the table. Oh yo' dam f**kin' right fool. I'm gonna win dis here tournament and then find out whatever mothaf**kin' secret my family be keepin' from me! Hudson: Well, Taz was right... he sure does have a mouth on him. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpg The two high-fliers put on a decent display. (However, the dumbass booker forgot about their lack of chemistry ). Thus, it is not as great a match as one might otherwise expect. It is an even contest until the tenth minute... ...when Stevie Richards runs in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/StevenRichards.jpg Hudson: Uh-oh... it's teh other half of the True World Order. Gertner: ...and this one is about to get uglier than a Paris Hilton home video! Hudson: Are you determined to get us kicked off the network? Gertner: Originally I was... now I'm just angling for a place on Playboy TV. Stevie slides in. RVD sees him coming but just a bit to late. Stevie Kick to the former tag champion. However, Shawn Michaels emerges from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg "The Showstopper" slides in... ...Sweet Chin Music to Stevie Richards! The Great Sasuke approaches... Super Kick. RVD rises, looking slightly confused. Michaels motions for him to head up top. He promptly does so as Michaels follows suit. 4:20 Splash to Big Sasuke Cool! RVD covers for the three. Match Rating: B- Michales picks up a microphone. Michaels: I don't know what sh*t you were pulling last week, Robbie, but count me out. You're my brother, man... I always got your back and, for that reason, this match at November To Remember... it just ain't happening. Michaels heads to the back amidst a very mixed reaction. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpg Both men coming out looking like they mean business. However, true to his return, Andrew Martin dominates. He maintains complete momentum, putting Storm away with a Pumphandle slam in the sixth minute. Match Rating: C As Martin raises his hand in victory, Rhino sprints out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg "The Man Beast" slides in as Andrew Martin turns to face him... Hudson: GORE! GORE! GORE! Martin rolls out of the ring, clutching his stomach, barely able to breath. Mark Calaway walks to the ring with a microphone. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Rhyno motions for him to bring it. However, "The Soul Taker" stops just short of the ring. Calaway: Ha, believe it or not, son... I ain't here to brawl. I just took some words you said last week on board. If I ain't mistaken you said you had plenty to take from me... Hell, I assume you still got my bike, you son of a bitch but, thing is, you said I had nothing on you. You said your career was all you had but that just ain't true is it? So, I tell you what... as far as I can see, you and I have another match coming at November To Remember XV and, when you agree to that, I might just fill you in on where you went wrong. Calaway heads to the back, leaving Rhino looking confused. Gertner: What the hell does that mean?! Hudson: I honestly have no idea. Nate Hatred and The Sinister Minister are backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg Mitchell: Oh, Sabu... icon of insanity, hero of hardcore... backbone that is all of ECW. Others may respect; nay, even fear you but "ECW's NME" is named such for a reason. Nate Hatred cares not for the meanings of relics past. He is here to usher in a new era of violence into a promotion that has lost it's way and it is the stale, aging idiots like you that have created the problem. You see, Nate is ready for this "streak versus career" match because there is no way in hell that you will be the man to end Nathan's undefeated record and, when he achieves his final victory over you, no longer will your stagnant brand of entertainment spoil the industry to which we have all dedicated ourselves. Say your prayers, Sabu, because, at November To Remember, your day of judgemnet calls. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg The two crusierweights, once again, put on a very good match. It is a fairly even display. However, Guerrera seems to maintain a slight advantage throughout. He puts Daniels away with a Juvi Driver in the eleventh minute. Match Rating: B As soon as the bell rings, Ultimo Dragon slides into the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg Again, Francine follows on sheepishly. Before Guerrera realises Dragon is in the ring, he has been floored from behind. The former TV Champ starts laying in the boots. Looking on from ringside, Francine seems distraught. She slides a chair into the ring. Ultimo Dragon goes for another stomp but Guerrera catches his foot and trips him up. Juvi makes his way to his feet and picks up the chair. Hudson: Uh-oh... Ultimo Dragon also scrambles to his feet. Steel chair shot to the head. Gertner: Dragon is doen like a clown in China Town! Hudson: What the hell are you talking about?! Again, Ultimo Dragon staggers up... Juvi Driver! Francine slides into the ring. However, as soon as she gets to her feet, Guerrera backs her into a corner. Hudson: Oh, no... this does not look good. As Francine's back hits the tuirnbuckle, she screams, as Guerrera stalks her all the way to the corner. She flinches. Guerrera merely kneels down and kisses her hand before maing an exit. Hudson: Well... that's not quite what I expevted. Gertner: Tell me about it! I was hoping for some full-on hardcore nud... Hudson: I don't want to know, Joel! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg The two youngsters put on a fantastic match, showcasing the bright future of ECW. "The New Franchise" maintains a degree of an advanatge throughout. However, in the twelfth minute, The Nest makes an almost inevitable appearance. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpg All six individuals enter the ring and begin an assault on Paul Burchill. Shane Douglas tries to even the odds but is quickly disposed of. "The Lionheart" runs to the ring with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Chair shot to Abyss... ...and Goliath. Hudson: Chris Jericho is clearing house! Punk approaches... boot to the gut and a DDT. Paul Burchill throws both Alexis and Nathalie over the top rope. Raven is left stranded. C-4 to the World Champion! Jericho follows up with a Liontamer. Meanwhile, "The New Franchise" picks up Chris Hero... ....another C-4. 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Jericho releass the hld on Raven and applies the same submission to Chris Hero. The show goes off air as Hero screams in pain and Burchill stands with his foot on the chest of the World Heavyweight Champion. "BURCHILL! BURCHILL! BURCHILL!" Show Rating: B+

I always appreciate feedback but I gotta be honest... I really don't know where you're coming from with that, seeing as neither Juvi or Francine are part of the women's/lioness division . Cheers for the predictions, Deezy. Quote The Rave Nevermore

From ECW.com

Damn, man... really? I think it's been pretty simple so far. Guy falls in love with girl -> girl can't commit due to emotional baggage -> guy starts to lose faith -> girl comes around and says she's ready to commit but, by that time, it's too late -> guys buggers off, angry, upsetting the girl -> girl goes on the rebound -> guy returns and girl is still in love with him despite being in a new relationship. That's standard melodrama isn't it? Fairly everyday-life, even... I must admit, having never been a fan of WCW or latter day (six-sided ring sorta time) TNA, that I'm really not familiar with Vince Russo's booking. What I can tell you is that this story is extremely loosley based on a John Ford play. Different story progression but similar concept of a flawed relationship. All I can say is that the major points of interest haven't even happened yet . Cheers for the feedback, though. Quote The Raven Nevermore

I'm Joey Styles and I can safely say that it is phenomenal to be back. And, of course, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey, and I can safely say that it's great to have you back! No disrespect to Don Callis, he's still doing a great job on F' The Mainstream, but you always were my favourite play by play guy. Joey: Thanks, Taz, it's all I've ever wanted to do as a career and I'm so glad that, now Raven's Nest is falling, it might be an enjoyable post again. Taz: Well, it can't be anything other than enjoyable with the card we got lined up. So, let's get to it. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg As expected, this one is a straight-up hardcore brawl. Chairs-aplenty and an equal smatterinng of blood makes for a useful opener. In the tenth minute, Rhino charges at Calaway for the Gore. "The Soul Taker" steps out of the way, though. Sabu, however, is caught directly in the firing line and falls like a sack of crap. As Rhino makes the cover, Hatred blasts Calaway in the back with a steel chair to prevent interference. Match Rating: B Content with his victory, Nate Hatred slides out of the ring to join The Sinister Minister. Both men head to the back. However, the brawl between Calaway and Rhino is far from over. The two beasts start slugging the hell out of one another. Suddenly, a tall blonde figure slides into the ring and picks up the steel chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpg Taz: What the hell? He blasts 'Taker in the forehead and the giant collapses. Joey: That's Andrew Martin! Taz: Yeah, I figured, but where the hell has he been and what the hell is he doing back? "The Man Beast" strides over to Martin. As Rhino looks quizical, Martin smiles. Joey: My god, does this mean...? Martin now cracks the steel over Rhino's head. Taz: No... no it doesn't! Martin throws the chair down to a very mixed reaction and walks out of the ring. Taz: Well, I ain't got no clue what he's doing here but... wow. Talk about a way to make an impact. Styles: After a year's absence no less. International All Action Title Tornament Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TeddyHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PsicosisMask.jpg The two cruiserweights combine for a slightly disappointing match-up, especially considerin Hart's recent F'TM efforts. However, as the match is used as a deliberate "cooling off" segment, it matters little. Teddy Hart picks up the victory with a Diving Headbutt in the sixth minute. Match Rating: D Jerry Lynn is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg Lynn: Well, I guess I should say congratulations on your tag team victory on Monday, Kurt, but let's face it Chris Hero is almost as much of a snake as you... I should know; I've wrestled him enough times. He proved it again on Monday and that's the only reason you won that match. At November To Remember Fifteen, things are going to be every different. At last, I'm gonna kick your ass for betraying your own country at the world cup and faking a broken neck! You're a disgrace to the industry, Kurt, and I can only imagine what people who have genuinely been disabled in the ring think of you. But, at the end of this month, I'm gonna take you to a special section of hell reserved for bastards like you! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalThomasellisuit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomasellisuit.jpg The Innovators carry all four tag title belts to the ring, holding them in the air to taunt the Dudleyz. The match is a decent yet unspectacular midcard tag match. The Thomaselli brothers put up a decent fight but The Innovators look like their on a roll. They pick up the win with a Double DDT on Brandon in the tenth minute. Match Rating: C+ After the match, the Innovators go to retrieve the title belts. However, The Dudley family sprint to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg The strapping Dudley lads lay into the fatigued Hardcore Innovators. Meanwhile Daizy grabs a microphone. Daizy: Me and my family had a thought. It's all very well us challenging you to get our own titles back but it would be far easier to just take them. Then there's no need to... Daizy is cut off by a steel chair to the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg Joey: It's Slyk Taysaun Dudley! Taz: Damn, he really is living up to his name. Joey: I'm sorry? Taz: STD... Irritating and hard to get rid of. Slyk then lays the chairs into Dick and Ultimo Dudley II. Bubba and D-Von turn around at the last minute... ...but it's too late to defend themselves. Chair shots to their heads. The Innovators grab the opportunity to leave with the belts. STD grabs a microphone. STD: Yo, bitches! STD is back on ECW television! He receives a surprisingly loud cheer, most likely for taking out his uncles and shutting his whiney cousin up. STD: Y'know, I been working on F**k The Mainstream, picking up a win here and there and, all the while, I been watching this whack job sh*t on the main programming! You bitches is a disgrace to the Dudley name... you's an embarrasment. You's sh*t's mo' cheesy than an Eddie Murphy flick and you's acting like the Deliverance cast on meth, mothaf**kas! Taz: He's certainly got a mouth on him. STD: If you bustas can't hang on to your own damn gold, you don't deserve it. I is here to agitate, perpitrate and bring back some mothaf**kin' pride to the Dudley clan and, on that note, I is entering myself into the International All Action mothaf**kin' title tournament. And once I bring some real gold to the table I'm gonna make it my damn mission to find out what secret 'bout my daddy you dogs is keeping! Joey: He's still talking about that family secret. I wonder what it is. Taz: The pill? Birth control seems a well kept secret in Dudleyville! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg Standard filler Lioness matches. There are some wolfwhistles but most of the crowd still aren't that interested in the division. Jazz picks up the fall with an STF on Nathalie in the sixth minute. Match Rating: D Vito is backstage for a shoot promo, his head is still bandaged from Guilty As Charged. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Vito: Monday night was a thing of beauty. Any time and kick your teeth in, Punk, I feel vindicated. Well, now, there ain't no title involved; there ain't nothing but bad blood and it's about time we spilled some more in my book. I beat you; you beat me... with interference. So, with ECW's biggest show in history just around the corner, November To Remember Fifteen, I say we make it official and throw down one last time, bastardo. Except, this time, I am finally gonna make you pay, once and for all, for the astrocities you commited unto my famiglia. You think me sticking a cigarette in your mouth was stepping on your ideals? Well, I'm gonna step on your damn face and walk it into the ground at November To Remember! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg The two men put on a very good TV match. It is a very even contest. However, by the tenth minute, Michaels starts to gain an advantage. He floors Punk and makes his way over to the turnbuckle for the Flying Elbow. RVD and Traci appear at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg Michaels stops, awaiting a run-in. However, it does not come, though the distraction allows Punk an opening. He turns Michals around. GTS! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ RVD: Shawn, I don't want to have to keep doing this stuff, bro. I didn't want to knock you down on Monday and didn't want to cost you a match tonight but it's gonna keep coming until I get a match with you for November To Remember. I need the push and the fans need the match! There is a huge pop. RVD: So, just agree to the best match of your life! Let me know, man. RVD heads to the back as Michaels comes to in the ring, looking troubled. Joey: Well, it's time for the big one... Taz: The World Television Title Match. Man, am I psyched for this? http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg The two men combine for a fantastic fast-paced match. The venom and anger in each move is tangible. In twelfth minute, Styles climbs the rope for the Spiral Tap. He hits it... ...but Juvi rolls through. 1...2... Kickout. Both men rise. Juvi charges. AJ boots him in the gut. Styles Clash! 1... Juvi gets his foot on the rope. The ref doesn't see it. ...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Joey: His foot was on the rope, though! Taz: Damn, that's gotta suck. Guerrera scrambles to his feet and begins to argue with the ref as Styles goes to grab his belt. Guerrera turns around, though, and pulls the champion back through the ropes... Juvi Driver! Rey Mysterio, Chris Daniels and Ultimo Dragon run to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonHeel.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg Francine follows sheepishly behind Ultimo Dragon. Joey: Oh no... As the cruiserweights pour into the ring, Juvi is completely outnumbered. Spinning Headscissors by Mysterio. Angel's Wings by Daniels. Asai DDT by Ultimo Dragon. Joey: I don't get it. All four are vying for the title. Why work together? Taz: They must consider Juvi a threat to them all! AJ Styles makes his way to his feet and all four crusierweights start to lay the boots in. Suddenly, Francine dives on top of Juvi. Taz: What the hell?! "Leave him alone! Leave him!" Ultimo Dragon grabs Francine by the hair and drags her out of the ring, kicking and screaming. Joey: Oh come on! Let her go! The show goes off air as the TV Champion drags Francine to the back while Juventud Guerrera is left to the wolves. Show Rating: B+
