Nevermore

Monday, week 1, October <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: Anarchy Rulz was a real rollercoaster ride, two titles changing hands, the first Lioness Champion being crowned and all four Tag Title belts being stolen. However, perhaps the biggest news in ECW transpired just two nights ago on Blood, Sweat and Beers. Gertner: No, Scotty-boy, the biggest news was the size of the Studmuffin's manhood while delivering his awe-inspiring monologue on Friday. However, aside from that, I agree wholeheartedly. Hudson: Feel free to ignore the inane and explicit comments, ladies and gentlemen, I certainly try to. Of course, what I refer to is the news that Owen Hart will challenge Raven for the World Heavyweight Title. Gertner: Feel free to ignore the horrificaly boring stammers coming from beside, me, ladies and... ladies. The Quintessential Studmuffin is here for your enjoyment and he says "Let's get to the action!" Hudson: For crying out loud, Joel. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg As always, ECW's NME comes out looking to prove a point. However, the returning Hart looks on top form and is far from the cannon fodder Hatred has, on occassion, previously been fed. Indeed, by the tenth minute, Hatred finds himself on the canvas. Bret grabs his legs ready to apply the Sharpshooter. However, The Sinister Minister runs in and swings his walking cane... ...but Hart grabs it and just snaps it over his knee. He then throws Mitchell over the top rope to the concrete. He locks in the Sharpshooter on Hatred. Chris Hero runs down the aisle-way with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg He nails Hart in the back with the steel. As Bret grimmaces in agony Hero turns him around... Hero's Welcome! Nate Hatred doesn't bothjer to stand, immediately covering his opponent. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Kurt Angle is bcakstage for a shoot promo. He is not wearing his neck brace. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg Angle: As you all know, the sheer lack of professionalism demonstrated by Jerry Lynn five months ago resulted in a broken neck that I have to endure with good grace. Despite the pain and my ongoing struggle with Subconscious Independent Retribution Therapy, I have been told by my doctors that the affected section of my spine is healing well. As such, in view of my love for active competition and even going against doctors' orders, I am returning to the ring as of this Saturday. As uncertain as my form may be, there is one thing I can guarantee... I will not be facing Jerry Lynn for fear of my own safety if nothig else. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpg The mtch goes down with a surprising lack of shennanigans. The bWo come out victorious in the sixth minute following a Stevie Kick to Chessman. Match Rating: D+ However, it is after the match that the chaos ensues. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEscoria.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoCuervo.jpg Espiritu, Oz, Escoria, and Cuervo take out Big Stevie Cool and BW Snow from behind and lay the boots in. Meanwhile Big Sasuke Cool a groggy Chessman take a large, black linen sack and a length of rope from under the ring. The sWo then proceed to bundle BW Snow into the bag and tie it up. Dragging their hostage behind them, they make a quick exit through the crowd as Hollywood Nova and Da Blue Guy arrive a little too late. Chris Hero is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg Hero: Bret I thought I'd save you some time so that you don't have to ask The Saviour of ECW why he cost you your match. The reason is the same as why I took great pride in defeating Jerry Lynn a few weeks ago; it is the same as why I destroyed ECW's supposed "Franchise". You are a washed-up, pathetic old-timer who just doesn't know when to retire. You should take a cue from your brother Bret... he's stepping aside for us young guys and he's younger than you! But, since you won't willingly step out of the spotlight, I figure I'll force you out. So, with that in mind, ECW's Saviour is challenging you to a match for Blood, Sweat and Beers! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg The two teams combine well for a fantastic match in which all dour men see much offence. By the twelfth minute, all competitors are in the ring for a chaotic brawl. Rhino seizes the opportunity to charge at Vito... Hudson: GORE! GORE... No! Vito rolls out of the way as Rhino flies towards "The Soul Taker". However, it is scouted... Taker sticks up his boot and The Man Beast charges straight into it. Hudson: My god! That nearly took his head off! Gertner: It sounded like a damn car wreck! Vito boots Punk in the gut as Calaway picks up Rhino. Vito Driver! Chokeslam! Simultaneous covers for the three. Match Rating: A After the match, Taker and Vito hug and raise one another's hands. Chris Jericho is backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Jericho: Bravo, Owen, it was one hell of a trcik you pulled... putting me in the Walls Of Jericho. It certainly made me see you in a whole new light... and made me want to make you tap even more! But, now, you say you're retiring at the end of the month? Well, that may suit you, Owen, but it doesn't suit me. You see, this ain't over as far as I'm concerned and, at Guilty As Charged, I want you in a Submission Match again so that I can be the one to end your career! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BeulahMcGillicutty.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpg Alexis dominates the match comfortably. She wins with an Alexis Effect in the fifth minut6e. Match Rating: D- The camera cuts to a darkened room backstage where BW Snow sits. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpg As the camera pans around, it becomes apparent that he is, in fact, tied to the chair and gagged with a length of duck tape. A single light bulb hanging above his head provides the chilling atmosphere. A click of fingers is heard as Snow looks terrified. The entire sWo step forward out of the blackness, Sasuke at the front. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEscoria.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoCuervo.jpg Sasuke clicks his fingers again and Cuervo pulls the tape from Snow's mouth. Snow: Don't rape me! Sasuke: Oh... we have no intention of laping you, Mister Snow. Since Big Stevie Tool speak of mole I have been mindful of Amelican ringo... rook before you reap! Snow: Who's Ringo? Sasuke: Sirence! Sasuke pauses. Sasuke: Do you learise why you are here, Mister Snow? Snow: You want me to give you head, don't you? Everybody wants me to give them head but I tell them "No, you can't have head! I only give head to my bestest of friends!" Sasuke: Sirence! I do not want your sirry mannequin! I want to know who is the mole? Snow: What mole? Sasuke slaps Snow. Sasuke: Don't tly and be crever! We have ways of making you talk! Snow: Do your worst! Sasuke clicks his fingers for a third time and Oz produces a DVD case from behind his back. However, the camera is not in-focus enough to display the information on the cover. Snow: Oh, god no! Anything but that! Chessman and Escoria pull down a projector screen at the back wall as Oz puts the DVD into a player. Sasuke: Pray it! What appears on the screen is the match between Kevin Nash and John Cena from last months WWF UNforgiven pay-per-view. Snow: No, please! If I knew anything, I'd tell you! God... no! Sasuke: You better start talking, Snow. You think this is bad? Wait 'til Cena tlies a Figure Four Reg Rock! The shot fades to black as Snow's screams become even more urgent. The camera cuts back to ringside. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpg The two men put on a great match despite their styles not quite gelling. Shawn Michaels is the man to gain the upper-hand after the opening minutes. However, D-Von Dudley emerges from the back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg He slides in and a 2-on-1 beatdown begins. Michaels starts to fade. However, he has back-up too. Rob Van Dam sprints to the ring with a chair. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpg He nails D-Von with the steel and the match becomes a 2-on-2 slugfest as the odds even up. Gertner: This might as well be a tag match! Hudson: Well, the Tag Titles are the main reason this match was scheduled. The Hardcore Innovators stride to the ring with their Singapore canes. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpg Gertner: ...and it looks like it's gonna get even more chaotic. However, before The Inoovators make it to the ring, HBK hits a Duper Kick out of nowher on Bubba Ray. He covers for the three. Match Rating: B+ The Whole F**kin' Show go to grab their belts from ringside but, rather expectedly, are cut off by the arriving Hardcore Innovators. As another brawl starts up "The Second Generation" emerge from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg Dick, Daizy and Banzai pull their uncles from the ring and make an escape with all four belts as the four champions keep brawling. However, before they reach the back they are stopped in their tracks. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Woah... woah... woah! As interesting as all of this chaos has been to watch, it's about time we sorted it out! The Hardcore Innovators are the Hardcore Champions, The Whole F**kin' Show are the World Champions and The Dudleyz posess all four belts. Seeing as all three teams bring something to the table, I say we re-visit an old ECW tradition. At Guilty As Charged it will be The Whole F**kin' Show versus The Dudley Boyz versus The Hardcore Innovators in a Three Way Dance to unify the Tag Team Titles! The fans explode as all three teams look happy with the solution. AJ Styles is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpg Styles: Dragon, you may have taken my TV Title at Anarchy Rulz, a title that rightfully belongs around the waist of The Phenomenal One, but it only happened because of a distraction from your filthy whore of a girlfriend. Let me ask you something, Ultimo. Does it not strike you as strange that she only picked you up after you picked up the strap? A word of advice... Franny ain't changed, man. She's the same gold-digging slut she always was. You're just the schmuck along for the ride. But, don't sweat it, 'cos I'm challenging you to a rematch at Guilty As Charged and, when the title comes home to Georgia, ECW's Extreme Escort will probably have a crack at me too. At least I'll have the integrity to kick her ass to the curb. The camera cuts back to ringside. Hudson: This is the one we've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen... the first time The World Heavyweight Championship has been defended on a television broadcast since February! Gertner: Man, I can't wait for this one! Raven makes his way to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg Raven: I want to make something perfectly clear. Thomaselli boys, Bret Hart... if any of you even think about interfering in this match, I'll fire you on the spot. You stick one hair through that curtain and you'll be jobbing in The Federation before the month is up! As "Black Heart" by Calexico blares over the arena speakers, Owen Hart makes his way to the ring to a huge response. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg Both men come out looking strong and it is clear that the television crowd is in for a treat! Raven employs his usual tactics, immediatley starting the match with a kick to Hart's groin. But, no, Owen scouts it, grabs his foot and throws him to the canvas. Sharpshooter... No! Raven kicks him away. Hudson: He nearly had it! The match continues in an even manner until, in the thirteenth minute, Raven sets up Hart for the Evenflow DDT. However, Owen reverses it into a Northern Lights Suplex. From here, he lays in the boots and starts to take control. The Nest come out to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Hart ducks out to ringside and grabs a chair. He re-enters as The Nest reach the ring. He throws Alexis clean over the top rope. Chair shot to Punk's skull! Hudson: Oh, the impact! ...and another stiff steel shot that sends Abyss toppling over the top rope. He then rams the chair into Goliath's gut. The giant bends double in pain and Hart blasts him over the back with the chair. Hudson: Owen Hart just took out The Nest! Gertner: Single-handedly! However, as Hart turns, he is booted in the gut by Raven and he drops the chair. The Champion, again, sets him up for the DDT but Hart, this time, strikes him in the mid-section, releasing the facelock. The two men continue to brawl. Chris Jericho emerges from the back to a chorus of boos. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Hudson: What the hell is he doing here?! He slides into the ring undetected and picks up the chair. As Owen goes to land a punch, Raven smiles and motions for him to turn around. He turns to see Jericho holding the chair. Jericho smiles as Owen shields his face. The Lionheart nails Raven in the face! Gertner: What the hell?! The fans go crazy as Owen looks completely confused. Jericho motions for him to make the cover. Instead, Hart locks in The Sharpshooter. Hudson: It's locked in! The pain on Raven's face is obvious... ...and he is forced to tap! Match Rating: A Hudson: MY GOD! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! Gertner: He did it! He actually did it! Referee, John Finnegan, hands the World Heavyweight Championship to Owen Hart as Chris Jericho raises his hand in victory. The fans go crazy as Hart collapses to his knees, weeping into his first ever World Title! Hudson: Just look at the emotion on the face of Owen Hart! The show goes off air as Jericho applauds the efforts of the new champion along with 9,000 fans in attendance. Show Rating: B+

If only that gimmick hadn't already been used . Quote The Raven Nevermore

Isn't he just? Cheers for the predictions boys. The show should be up later, my chronic hangover permitting. Quote The Raven Nevermore

I'm Don Callis, filling in for the sadly absent Joey Styles. Alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Callis. It sucks for Joey to not be here but it's great to have a replacement as up to scratch as you. Callis: Well, thanks for that, Taz. I have to say, though, after all that expired at Anarchy Rulz, you can't really blame Joey. Taz: That's true, man... and I don't. Burchill getting fired, that just ain't right but, hell, lets just do Styles proud tonight. Callis: Well said... and with that, let's get to it! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragonTV.jpg The two men combine for a laudible performance, though it is obvious they are holding a little back. With Francine cheering him on from ringside, Ultimo Dragon seems to posess an new fire. Hwe puts Big Sasuke Cool away with an Asai DDT in the tenth minute. Match Rating: B ECW's Most Extreme Athlete is backstage with his manager. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg Mitchell: In this modern, harsh existence we all-too-often hear of how the individual's needs are sacrificed in favour of the will of multinational corporations; how those who represent independence are trampled beneath the feet of the behemoth conglomorates. Well, beside me stands the greatest and, perhaps, the only living example of a single man able to topple a Franchise. Hatred smiles sadistically. Mitchell: "How is this possible?" you ask yourselves, your feeble minds incapable of the necessary comprehension. Simple... beside me stands Nate Hatred... ECW's Most Extreme Athlete and New Main Event. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpg The two womens' recent run as partners matters little in this match. Despite Daizy's efforts, Alexis proves herself as the far more experienced competitor. She picks up the win with an Alexis Effect in the sixth minute. Match Rating: C- Becky Bayless is backstage with her regular guest. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg Bayless: Welcome to Backstage With Becky. I'm Becky Bayless, once again alongside the ever-arrogant Chris Hero. Hero: It's not arrogance, Becky, when you're as good as you say are. It's a gift! Bayless: But youy're not as good as you say you are... Hero: Exactly! Bayless looks bemused. Hero: I'm even better! Bayless rolls her eyes. Bayless: Well, then, Mr Fantastic... Hero: Mr Hero will suffice, thank you, Becky. Perhaps, "My Hero" or our "Our Hero" or even... Bayless interjects. Bayless: The question everyone wants answered is why did you aid Nate Hatred in his match last night and cost The New Franchise his place on the ECW roster? Hero: No, Becky, the question everyone wants answered is why you're still persisting with the facade that you even vaguely resemble a competent interviewer. I'd say that you should be half-way to your innevitable transition into adult entertainment but, even then, they'd have to gag you. Bayless: Just answer the question before I force-feed you your own balls! Hero: I see the concept of wit is not something you are familiar with... Bayless: Answer the f**king question! Hero: Why did I help Nate Hatred, Becky? Why did I banish Paul Burchill? It's very simple... Bayless: Then why is it taking so long to explain? Hero: Because I like to give my legions of fans the opportunity to savour my every word... Now, The Saviour of ECW is not in cahoots with ECW's Most Extreme Athlete or, at least, not exactly. Bayless: Meaning? Hero: Meaning, Becky, that it's about damn time that the old-guard got the hell out of the spotlight and allowed the new breed of ECW excellence, like Chris Hero and Nate Hatred, the opportunity to prove their superiority to the world! Bayless: Are you saying Paul Burchill was part of the Old Guard? He's only 25. In fact, he's younger than you! Hero: I don't mean to insinuate that Burchill is old, Becky. Not at all... I mean to insinuate that he is useless. I know and will often use as many as 34 variations on a Front Facelock. Paul Burchill probably can't even count to 34 or apply a regular Facelock! Bayless: Yeah, I'll bet... Hero: Do you mock me, woman? Bayless: Who the f**k are you calling "woman"? Hero: I'm sorry... You're right; you're quite right. How about you let me apologise? He sleezily lifts his eyebrows. Becky goes to slap Hero. But ECW's Saviour catches her hand and plants a kiss on her as she struggles to break free. When he pulls away, leaving Bayless looking disgusted, he gives a cheesy thumbs up to the camera. Hero: Chicks dig a Hero! http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg The two men combine for a chaotic hardcore brawl. Despite a lack of psychology from either competitor, their superior brawling abilities is enough to entertain the fans. Bubba Ray comes running out in the thirteenth minute. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpg He slides into the ring as Dreamer is whipped to the ropes. D-Von picks his opponent up in a Flapjack... 3D! Cactus Jack runs out. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpg A two-on-two brawl ensues. The Hardcore Innovators start to claim the upper-hand. That is until "The Second Generation Appear". http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg It soon becomes a four-on-two beatdown which The Dudleyz obviously dominate. Dreamer falls prey to another Dudley Death Drop as his partner suffers a Second Gen 3D! D-Von covers Dreamer. 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Callis: Damn it! The Dudleyz are leaving with the belts! Taz: All four of 'em! Owen Hart wlaks to the ring with a microphone in hand. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg Hart: Those of you who read the internet dirtsheets will already know why I'm out here. This is a very hard thing to say but, at the same time, I am very excited by the prospect. At the end of this month, after Guilty As Charged, I will be officially retiring. Callis: What? Taz: I had no idea! The fans boo the announcement. Hart: It may be a disappointment to you guys but I've had a good run and, truth be told, although wrestling is in my blood, I've got two wonderful kids and a beautiful wife at home and I love the idea of being able to...

Owen looks furious. Raven: But, most of all, I can't think of a single person who would be even slightly affected by your long-overdue retirement! Hart: Is that right? Well, I'll tell you what "champ", you were certainly affected by my debut a year ago, so, why don't we fix it so that you will be affected by retirement. Raven: I don't see h... Hart: For nearly twelve months, I was on the verge of getting the chance to shut your mouth and take that title from your waist. The best I ever got was a Triangle Match with my brother. Raven: You can't be serious... Hart: Oh, I'm serious! If you're so sure that my retirement is "overdue", then why not back it up and put that title on the line? Raven: Y'know what? I'm so confident that I'm better than you and turned on by the idea of kicking your ass to the curb that... yeah, you got it! The fans explode. Callis: Wow! Hart: Fine... next week on Revolution! Raven: Fine by me, hotshot, but you better know you're not getting through me... or my Nest! Taz: Well, as much as I like the idea, I gotta admit the odds aren't exactly in Owen's favour! Callis: But, if anyone can pull it off, it'll be the Jack of Harts! Taz: I dunno man... Rhino, Taker, Vito, Burchill... they've all failed to take him down. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpg The match is as even as it often is between these two groups. However, the bWo pick up the win following a Stevie Kick on Espiritu at 5:22 Match Rating: D+ After the match, Big Stevie Cool picks up a mic. Stevie: That may have sucked for you boys but things are gonna get a whole lot worse. Tell your freaky little boss that there's a mole in your ranks... someone who knows that the Blue World Order are the True World Order! Taz: A mole? Callis: Who would that be?

Heyman: Yes, my freind? Vito: I want Punk! I want him at Guilty As Charged! He thinks he can just jump me fr... Heyman: I'll see what I can do, kid, but the fact is your the International All Action Champion, now. Not only does that mean you'll have to defend the title at pay-per-views, it also probably means that Raven is gonna be doing his best to book you into the ground. Vito: You just get me Punk, Paul E. As far as The Nest goes, I can handle myself! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg The match is not as good as the men's past efforts due to the violence restrictions enforced by the FX network. However, they still put on a solid performance. ECW's NME is fairly dominant in the early stages but, before long, Sabu starts to come back. Chris Hero makes his way to the ring in the tenth minute. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg As Sabu rebounds off the ropes, he is tripped by the rookie... DECAPITATOR LARIAT! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B After the match Chris Hero shakes hands with The Sinister Minister and hugs Nate Hatred. Taz: ECW's Most Extreme Athlete has a sensitive side! Who knew? Callis: How can you joke about this! Those two are parasites! The celebrations are interrupted by Bret Hart who appears at the entrance-way. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg Taz: It's The Hitman! Callis: We've barely seen him since Wrestlepalooza! Hart: What is this sh*t? I come back to an ECW arena after heading down to APW to see crap like this? Mitchell: Just who the hell do you think you are? Hart: I'm Bret Hart, a six time World Champion and a two-time winner of the Power 100. How about these two rookies? All three men in the ring look pissed. Hart: Hero... you used to talk about improving ECW "one quality wrestling match at a time", as though you were some kind of old-school icon and now look at you. You're nothing more than a whining little narcissist who sticks his nose in just about everyone else's business and gives his employers lip for getting booked on a B show. Sh*t, kid, if you were around in the eighties, yoiu'd have been stiffed more times than the adult entertainment stars you referenced earlier! Taz: Haha, Hero don't look happy! Hart: ...and Nate Hatred. ECW's Most Extreme Athlete? You might be a damn masochist but the difference that will always exist between you and Sabu is that guys like him paid there dues and actually leasrned how to work before picking up a flaming 2x4 or whatever other silly sh*t you seem to think is "hardcore". Let me tell you, son, the most "hardcore" thing you can do is impress these fans and I don't think you're in any danger of doing that! The fans applaud Bret's tirade. Hart: So, I'm laying down a challenge to either of you ingrates for this Monday's Revolution. It's about time you learnt some respect! Jerry Lynn is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg Lynn: I'm gonna keep this short, Kurt, 'cos there really ain't much to say. You better get your ass in the ring in time for me to embarras you at Guilty As Charged. If not, it's gonna be a lot more than your inflated sense of pride that takes a kicking! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg Punk is like a lamb to the slaughter. He puts up an admirable fight but Calaway just looks too determined. Plus, The Nest stay well away, clearly wanting no part of The Soul Taker jusr yet. Calaway puts Punk away with a Chokeslam in the twelfth minute. Match Rating: A After the match, The Man Beast sprints to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg Taker turns around a spilt second too late to react. GORE! Callis: GORE! GORE! GORE! Taz: Damn... Taker's out, man! The show goes off-air as Rhino stands wuith his foot on the chest of an unconscious Soul Taker. Show Rating: B+

You clearly haven't caught up on past shows... tut tut . Kong's in development. Quote The Raven Nevermore

F' The Mainstream to appear later. From ECW.com

As I've said many times, you are supposed to be sick of Raven with the strap. A plan for the title was drawn out way back at the beginning of the diary and I plan on sticking with it. Hopefully you'll note The Nest becoming less and less important and the individuals within it slightly more prominent. Punk will be no different.... hence why he now has a singles feud rather than just backing up Raven. Ugh... Bret. I'd feel so sorry for that man if this was real life. He's currently just training his relatives Teddy and Nattie. First, he was gonna be involved in the Rhino/Taker story but I find he has awful chemistry with Calaway. Then, I thought, screw it, he and Owen can reunite to take on Jericho... and he has bad chemistry with Jericho as well . Both bothers! I do want a way to bring him back on screen. I'm just waiting for a perfect storyline opportunity that isn't so long that he'll retire half-way through. Other guys I'm thinking of trying to bring back into the spotlight are Eddie, Rey, Hayabusa and Chris Daniels. It's all good man... and always apprecitated. Some stuff I take on board fully; other plans I won't budge on . However, I always like when people make criticisms as well as compliments. ...and on that note, thanks to everyone for all the feedback. Ford, strangely, and somewhat disturbingly, one of your ideas was not too far from what I initially had planned . ...and, Prophet, keep thinking. It'll be a major twist . Quote The Raven Nevermore

In an often predictable industry, we are proud to be the one promotion where Anarchy Rulz! I'm Joey Styles alongside Don Callis and former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey. Callis: Likewise. Man, is it good to be back on the pay-per-view announce desk. Taz: Good to have you back, man. Hey, Joe, check it out... it's your favourite part of the show! Guess who's in the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg Gertner: Well, well, well... it is I, the only man who is harder than Chinese algebra; in fact, I'm like a rubix cube: the more you play with it the harder it gets... Joel "I'll take them by the chest and srimulate their breasts but, when I get in between their legs, that's when I like it best" Gertner. Joey: Dear god almighty. Callis: Calm, Joey. Taz: Yeah, you gotta save some energy for those OH MY GODs! Joey shoots daggers at Taz. Gertner: Now, I've heard that ECW is the best promotion going And its momentum, like my sex-drive, don't ever look like slowing. The card tonight's so good that I can feel my manhood growing So fast that The Federation may not be the only thing that's blowing! The camera cuts to Joey Styles who has his head in his hands. Gertner: So, the show may well be great but only 'til you've seen my tool By which you'll time have realised it's not just anarchy that rules! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg In view of this being a pay-per-view broadcast, the two mens' performance is not too great. However, the match still acts as a great way to get the crowd fired up. It is a very even and fast-paced contest in which both champion and challenger see much offence. It is in the twelfth minute that AJ Styles starts to take control. He whips Dragon to the ropes an, on the rebound, lifts him over his head and onto the other side of the apron. A fistfight begins over the ropes which Styles wins, clubbing the challenger in the back, forcing him to bend at the waist. Styles springs over the ropes and his opponent, delivering a Sunset Flip which results in Ultimo Dragon being Powerbombed to the concrete! Taz: Damn! That may well seal this deal! However, AJ's attention is taken by Francine who intervenes to aid Dragon. The Television Champion grabs Francine by the hair and drags her into the ring. Callis: Oh, come on... Styles drags her to the middle of the ring and sets her up for the Styles Clash. No... Ultimo Dragon cuts him off with a elbow to the back at the last moment. Callis: Thank god! Taz: Yeah, I'll bet Franny's doing just that! As Franny makes a quick exit from the ring, Styles whips Dragon but it is reversed. Styles comes rebounding off the ropes straight into a Back Body Drop. But, no... Styles floats over the top, landing on his feet with the challenger in a rear waistlock. AJ yanks, looking for a German Suplex. He can't lift the stubborn challenger, though, and so pushes him forward into the ropes. Ultimo rebounds chest-first with his back to Styles. The champion bends for a Back Suplex but Dragon grabs him by the head in a three quarter facelook. He flips backwards over the champions shoulders... ASAI DDT! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B Joey: We have a new World Teelevision Champion! Taz: Damn straight we do, Joey. Callis: Styles allowed himself to be distracted by Francine. Taz: ...and a vet like Ultimo knows when to capitalises! Franny grabs the title from ringside and presents it to Ultimo Dragon who raises his hands in victory. Suddenly, Francine plants a kiss on the legend. Joey: Francine is overcome with a motion! Taz: Well... err... good for them! Callis: I just wonder if Juventud Guerrera is watching... Vito Thomaselli is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Vito: You insulted my intelligence; you raped my sense of pride and decency; you injured my brothers and you hospitalised my baby sister. Tonight, Punk, your punishment awaits you and you will be left even worse than I was: a shell of a man; the true reflection of the callous, shallow parasite that you are! I will take pride in taking that title and I will feel no remorse in giving you the beating you so rightly deserve! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpg The two men do not click at all (new savegame ). However, due to the match being a deliberate cooling-off excercise, it is not a major issue. Both men seem equally determined to get one up for their side. However, in the tenth minute, Chessman comes running out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpg He darts straight into the ring and a 2-on-1 assault begins. The bWo come running out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg The odds swing back in favour of the Blue World Order. Amidst the 4-on-2 brawl, Chessman suffers the Stevie Kick. But, then, four Hollywood Nova's come running out. Taz: Is that the sWo in Nova costumes? Joey: Who else would it be. As obvious as it is that it is the sWo, once the four fake Novas hit the ring it becomes impossible to tell the real Hollywood. A mass brawl ensues in which no one really knows what's going on. Taz: What? Who is... I mean... which one... Callis: I have no idea. Amidst the chaos, Big Sasuke Cool hits Stevie with a lowblow.... Michinoku Driver! 1...2...3! Match Rating: D+ After the match, Sasuke, Chessman and four Hollyeood Nova's make a quick exit, leaving the real bWo in the ring. Taz: Well, the bWo just git played... again. The Whole F**kin' Show are seen walking to the ring. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg Both men look serious and aggrivated. Not a word is spoken and no eye contact is ever made. Backstage, Jerry Lynn is ready for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg Lynn: Damn it, Kurt, that neck ain't broken. You know it, I know it and every single ECW fan knows it! So, either you grow a spine and step in the ring with me or I'll make sure that you never step in a ring again. Don't be a coward, Kurt. Grow up and let's settle this like men. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTagTitle.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpgvs.http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg The two teams set out not only to prove a point about the ECW tag division but about themselves. Neither partnership wants to be second best and this results in a solid tag team bout. The tension between The World Champions is obvious, though, neither man particularly keen on tagging in their partner. The Innovators initially capitalise on this, waring down The Whole F**kin' Show with their power and use of weaponry, notably their trusted Singapore canes. However, by the fourteenth minute, RVD and HBK start to combine a little more effectively and show why they've dominated the division for so long. As the match in the ring intensifies, the obligatory catfight between Traci and Beulah flares up with the traditional rolling around on the floor. Joey: CAAAATFIIIIGHT! CAAAAAAATFIIIIIIIGHT! Taz: Damn it, Joey. Are you trying to burst my eardrums, man? The Dudley Family make an unscheduled appearance. 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 Callis: Damn it! What are they doing here? Joey: It was kind of innevitable wasn't it? As Daizy joins the catfight, the men of the family enter and set about the competitors. A fresh Second Generation start to pick apart the tired Hardcore Innovators as the brawling of Bubba and D-Von soon has The Whole F**kin' Show on the ropes. The Second Generation set up a table in the corner as Bubba Ray climbs the turnbuckle and Shawn Michaels is lifted onto his shoulders. Dudley Bomb through the table! Callis: This is ridiculous! They're not even supposed to be here! RVD is whipped to the ropes. Dick Jr lifts him up as Ultimo Dudley II rebounds off the perpendicular set of ropes... Second Gen 3D! Taz: Man, RVD just got smoked. The Innovators mount a counter attack but are soon subdued. The Dudley Uncles now combine for a 3D on Tommy Dreamer as Big Dick hits the Total Penetration on Cactus Jack. Referee Jim Molineaux has no choice but to call for a no contest. Match Rating: B+ Callis: This was supposed to be one of the best Tag Team matches ever... Joey: ...and the damn Dudley Family ruined it! Oh, now what? Joey reacts as The Dudleyz take both sets of belts from ringside and march to the back. Callis: They've stolen the belts! Taz: I guess they need some leverage to get back in the title hunt! "The Soul Taker" is backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Taker: Rhinos are said to be powerful beasts but not too intelligent and, sure enough, the one who has been stupid enough to cross the path of "The Soul Taker" has shown such traits. They say that the devil taunts all men but only idle beings taunt the devil. Well, Rhino, you're clearly the exception because your foolish actions have taunted this devil and that means you are a man damned! Submission Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg The two men certainly fill the show's quota for great techincal wrestling. However, on this outing, the quality is not so good (again, due to bad chemistry ). Jericho is the one to first apply his submission hold in the fourteenth minute. With The Walls Of Jericho firmly locked in, Hart begins the slow crawl towards the ropes. He inches closer... ...and closer. He reaches out... ...and just gets his fingers on the bottom hold. Jericho releases the hold as Hart hobbles to his feet. Owen hits a few stiff jabs to Jericho and kicks him in the gut... No! Jericho catches his leg, tips him to the canvas and applies The Walls Of Jericho again. Taz: Uh-oh... Hart's in real trouble. Hart again begins the slow crawl. After a minute of steadily closing in on the bottom rope, he reaches out... Jericho pulls him back to the centre of the canvas. Callis: This could well be it! As Hart screams in agony, Jericho leans back further, really wrenchin on Owen's spine. However, realising how far back Jericho is leaning, Hart reaches back and applies an inverse Cravate to "The Lionheart". The pain now soots up Jericho's back as well as both men try to endure the sufferring. Taz: What a counter by Owen! Callis: Something's gotta give. Jericho is forced to release the hold and both men lay spent on the canvas as the fans applaud their efforts. Slowly, using each other for balance, both men rise. A stiff shot from Owen. Jericho returns it. A boot to The Lionheart's gut... No! Jericho, again, catches it... But this time Hart uses his own counter against him, hitting teh Enziguiri. Now, still feeling the pain in his back, Hart goes to apply The Sharpshooter. Joey: Here it comes... But he appliies The Walls Of Jericho! The Lionheart writhes in pain. Taz: Owen's returning the favour from last week! Jericho now begins the slow crawl for the first time. He inches closer... ...and closer still. He reaches out... But is dragged back to the middle of the ring. Jericho taps! Match Rating: B- Joey: Jericho tapped... Taz: To his own hold. Callis: I get the feeling these two aren't done yet! Raven sits alone in a dark corner of the arena. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg Raven: I have lived through war and lost much. I know what's worth the fight and what is not. Honour and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for too. What about me? What about Raven? The title around my waist is what signifies both honour and the ultimate courage and I will never let it leave my tortured form. It is weakness rather than wickedness which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power and weakness is something of which I shall never be accused. So, tonight shall play out like the hundreds before it, wherein I have conquered all odds as I have throughout my entire scorned existence, and left as I entered, The World Heavyweight Champion. So it is written; so it shall come to pass. Quote The Raven Nevermore http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Generic1.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg The two men display great chemistry and combine for a fantastic match. They do a great job of proving that the future of ECW is very bright! It is Vito Thomaselli who comes out looking the more determined and he certainly looks set to gain some revenge. By the sixteenth minute, he has really started to wear the champion down and looks about ready to put hiom away. However, the muscle of the Nest show up somewhat innevitably. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg Vito sees the coming and grabs a chair from ringside. As he re-enters, Abyss charges at him with a Big Boot. But Vito ducks and the monster's size 12 connects squarely with the All Action Champion. Taz: Abyss just took out hius own man! Vito throws the chair into the face of the Monster. Goliath grabs him by his hair from behind but Vito picks the chair back up and swings it backwards over his head, nailing the giant in the face. Vito backs away to the ropes, waiting for Monsters Inc to recover. When they do, both monsters charge at the youngster. Thomaselli merely drops down, pulling the top rope with him, and both monsters go hurtling to the arena floor. VAs the monsters return to their feet, Vito leaps off the top rope. Springboard Sommersault Plancha! Both monsters collapse in a heap. Joey: OH MY GOD! "Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!" Punk has recovered as Vito re-enters. As Vito approaches, Punk hits the lowblow. Callis: Oh, come on! He picks up Vito on his shoulders. Taz: ...and here comes the GTS! No, Vito pulls him backwards into a Crucifix Roll-Up. 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Joey: He did it! He just outsmarted Punk! Callis: Well done, kid! Both men rise, the fight clearly not finishing with the bell. However, Punk thumbs Vito in the eye and follows up with another lowblow. Callis: What a cheapshot! Taz: Two of them! From here, Punk lays in the boots and a violent beatdown ensues. The camera cuts to backstage where Rhino is standing. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg Rhino: The clock's ticking, Raven. Two hours and fourty minutes... that's how long there is left of your pitiful reign as Worldf Champion. This is MY NIGHT! You understand?! MINE! And not you or any of your lackies can stop me from walking out as the new unstoppable World Heavyweight Champion! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg The three women combine for a laudible match-up considering their lack of overness. However, there is no doubt that Jazz dominates the entire proceedings. In the sixth minute, she looks ready to finish the whole match off and, sure enough, hits The Fisherman Brainbuster on Kelly. She turns to give the same treatment to Alexis Laree but is levelled by a chair. Alexis picks up Jazz.. Alexis Effect! 1...2... Jazz powers out! Joey: Wow! Callis: Look at the power of Jazz Taz: I'd rather look at the ass of Kell... Joey: Moving swiftly along... Alexis picks up Jazz again. Another Alexis Effect! 1...2... Jazz powers out. Alexis looks distraught. She lays the chair in the middle of the canvas. She picks up Jazz for a third time. Joey: Here comes another Al... But Jazz strikes her in the face. Fisherman Brainbuster on the chair. 1...2... Kelly breaks up the fall. Kelly picks up the chair and lays the steel into a grounded Jazz. She then stops to rub her sore neck from the impact of Jazz's finisher. Laree sees her chance... she rolls up Kelly. 1... ...and hooks her ring-tights. ...2...3! Match Rating: C Joey: Trust a member of The Nest to become our first ever champion through underhanded means. <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/Powernaturalorder.flv"> Taz: That's the third time we've seen that! What the hell does it mean? Joey: I have no idea. I'm as confused as last time! Callis: The natural order? Is that someone's ring-name or something? With Paul Burchill's career on the line... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg ECW's Most Extreme Athlete is, of course, led to the ring by the Sinister Minister. Equally, "The New Franchise" is accompanied by his mentor, Shane Douglas. As such, it looks like neither manager will play a particularly pivotal role. Paul Burchill is the man who explodes out of the starting blocks, hitting a series of stiff chops to Hatred's chest. He drives him back into the corner. He hits three shoulder barges and finishes with a Superkick that whips Hatred's head back over the top turnbuckle. The extreme rookie collapses with the force. The cover is made. 1...2... Kickout! Taz: Burchill may be damn good but Nate Hatred is one tough bastard! Joey: Sure enough, Taz. It won't be that easy! Burchill backs away for a Standing Sommersault Senton. He then borrows a trick from RVD, hitting a Cartwheel Moonsault. 1...2...Kickout. Hatred rises, meeting The New Franchise with an ekbow to the gut. He follows up with a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Taz: Nothing but power from Hatred! ECW's Most Extreme Athlete follows up by laying the boots in. Burchill grabs his feet and yanks him to the canvas, climbing on top and hitting several Mounted Punches. The match continues as an all-out slug-fest. By the twelfth minute, Hatred starts to tire and resorts to a weapins-based arsenal as The Sinister Minister throws him a chair. He swings at Burchill who ducks underneath and rebounds off the ropes... The New Franchise Big Boots the chair straight into his opponents face! Taz: Damn! I don't care how extrem you are... that one's gotta hurt! He picks up Hatred in a Fireman's Carry and carries him to the corner. He leaps forward into a Rolling Frireman's Carry Slam. He rolls straight through and onto the top rope. Joey: Burchill looking to follow up with the Moonsault. Chris Hero emerges from the crowd with a chair. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg ECW's "Saviour" jumps on the apron and nails Burchill in the head, sending him crashing to the mat. He quickly makes an escape up the aisle-way as the funs at ringside go crazy, screaming for his blood. Joey: Why?! What possible business does Chris Hero have here?! Taz: As if he wasn't hated enough! Burchill staggers to his feet and turns... DECAPITATOR LARIAT! 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Callis: NO! Taz: No f**king way. Joey Styles slams his headset down in disgust. Callis: I... I can't believe this. The thirty thousand strong crowd doesn't boo, an eery hush falls over the arena as they realise that Nate Hatred has just defeated The New Franchise... and, now, Paul Burchill is fired. Taz: Raven's done it! He's finally ridded ECW of The New Franchise. As Shane Douglas darts into the ring to check on his protege, he too fals prey to Hatred's Decapitator. The Most Extreme Athlete follows up with a violent assault as security floods the ring. Joey: You know what? F**k this! I am sick of having to call this sh*t week in and week out! No paycheck in the world is worth having to watch this! Joey, again, removes his headset and, this time, storms out of the arena. Taz: Joey, man... you can't just... damn! Callis: I apologise, ladies and gentlemen. I guess our colleague has seen enough of this over the past year. The camera cuts backstage to where Ultimo Dragon is carrying a jubilant Francine. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg Franny holds the World Television Title in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other. Franny: We did it, man. We actually did it! Both laugh as Ultimo carries her out of shot. Juventud Guerrera steps out of a shadowed corner. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpg He shakes his head in disgust as the camera cuts back to ringside. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTitle.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg The match starts with both men striding to the centre of the ring for a staredown. Raven immediatley makes his tactics known, kicking Rhino in the groin. But Rhino catches his foot before he can do so and answers with a knee to Raven's gut. The champion hits the challenger with a stiff right arm. The challenger follows suit and a trading of blows ensues. Callis: ...and this is exactly what we expected! Rhino hits the straight left arm and follows up with a haymaker that floors the champion. Raven is stomped on repeatedly and then brought up to standing. "The Man beast" whips him to the corner and pummels him repeatedly in the chest and shoulders. The champion is thrown to the other turnbuckle like a rag doll. Rhino charges for a clothesline charges but Raven puts his foot up. Callis: Oh, reversal! Raven now whips Rhino to the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Rhino ducks underneath. Rhino bounces off the opposite ropes... He comes back... GORE! Taz: My god... he hit it! 1...2... Kickout! Taz: Make no mistake, Raven is a slimey coward but he is tough as nails! As Rhino rises to tell the referee that it was a slow count, Raven, just stirring, hits a lowblow from behind. Raven then drags Rhino to his feet and hits a clothesline that drives him into the corner. He follows up by raking the challenger's face with his fingers. However, in a great show of strenghth, Rhino merely pushes Raven away, forcing him half way across the ring. He stalks the champion and hits an irish whip but, no, Raven reverses it... Rhino bounces off the ropes and comes back with another Gore! However, Raven is able to dodge this one and Rhino goes flying through the ropes and into the ringside guardrail. Taz: That's got to hurt! Raven rolls Rhino back in but not before seizing the opportunity to grab a chair. He slides back in and nails Rhino squarely in the forehead. Rhino falls to the canvas and Raven covers. 1...2... Rhino powers out! Taz: Wow... Raven may have forgotten jst what a challenge Rhino was in April! The match continues in a similar fashion, Rhino showing a fair level of control with Raven just pulling enough dirty tactics to stay in with a shot. In the fourteenth minute, Raven landsyet another lowblow. He grabs Rhino by the head as he bends in pain. Raven Effect! 1...2... Kickout! Callis: It's clearly not going to be easy for the World Heavyweight Champion. Raven picks up Rhino and boots him in the gut, again looking for his finisher. However, The Man Beast answers with a right hand and picks up Raven for the Rhino Driver. Taz: Here we go! "The Soul Taker" comes striding out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg Rhino drops Raven in order to meet the oncoming danger. Taz: Y'know... I'd usually be happy to see Taker kick some ass but not if it's gonna benefit Raven! As Calaway enters, Rhino charges for the Gore! In a great show of strength, Taker catches him and lifts him by the gut onto his shoulders. Elevated Powerbomb! Raven staggers over to make the cover. Callis: Damn it! However, Taker pushes him aside, stopping him from doing so. Taz: Hang on a sec, there, Callis! Taker picks up Rhino by the throat. Chokeslam! Calaway steps aside as Raven covers. 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Taz: Aah, screw it! Calaway now turns Raven to face him. The fans go crazy as The World Champion stares up at the giant. Suddenly... Calaway extends his hand to Raven. Callis: What the hell?! The boos around the arena are deafening! Raven smiles and accepts, taking Calaways hand. Taz: Man, surely not! The Giant pulls the champion in to grab him by the throat... CHOKESLAM! Taz: Thank god for that! The show goes off air as The Soul Taker heads to the back, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Show Rating: A

I'd try and deny it but... meh. What ya gonna do? Quote The Raven Nevermore

He got injured. So, I obviously stopped using him. Then, after he came back, I had nothing for him, so, he went down to the developmentals to train the young guys. He is a great worker, I'm just extremely conscious of pushing guys that might retire soon. Seems pointless... Not quite. Dreamer had his feud with Sandman which, for a while, was one of the marquee storylines. As for Cactus, he spent a short time main eventing after his feud with Austin. He won the Masters Of Pain, if you remember, he just didn't get the title off Sabu at 'Got Blood?'. Indeed... and that is exactly what I plan to move him on to; he's retiring next month . She's not as sh*t as you might think. She's turning into a passable wrestler... slowly . Yeah, I try and give 'em even time, except, again, a lot of those guys are ooold! It's all about the passing of the torch period at the moment. Punk, Vito and Hatred are coming through nicely; Rhino and Burchill are starting to look like major future prospects to carry the promotion; Chris Jericho is close to getting back to the main event and Chris Hero is closing in on a push. Those guys are likely to be the main event for the new era... along with a few others who, for the moment, shall remain nameless. Quote The Raven Nevermore

Haha, good... Some vastly difeering opinions. Anymore to come in before I start an arduous type-up . Quote The Raven Nevermore

Hudson: No, we are not going there again! Tonight's card looks fantastic and should be a great warm-up for the pay-per-view. Gertner: I'm already warmed up, Scotty-boy. Hudson: Oh, for god's sake, let's go to the ring before he gets us kicked off air. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Generic1.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg Eddie makes a decent comeback but it is clear that Punk is on a roll and not likely to be stopped. He puts the veteran away with a GTS at 12:16 Match Rating: B- The camera cuts backstage to an argument that is already occurring. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg RVD: That ain't even the f**kin' point as far as I'm concerned, man. To see you two... Michaels: How many times, dude? We didn't know who was gonna walk in. RVD: Yeah, I gathered as much! What? You'd been ready with an excuse if you'd have known it was me? Traci: For f**ks sake, Rob. I was getting changed, Shawn walked and was nothing but a gentleman. When we heard footsteps, he covered me up in case it was those perverts from the sWo or something. Michaels: That was it, dude. That was it! RVD frowns. Michaels: Nah, man. Don't you give me that f**kin' look. It was you who left me stranded on last week let's not forget! RVD: I was helping Trace! Michaels: Who you appraently think is doing the dirty? Man are you noble... RVD: You can't blame me for wanting to help her. Michaels: I don't blame you, numbnut. I just wish you'd give me the same courtesy; I ain't to blame for sh*tty circumstances. Michaels offers his hand. Van Dam looks skeptical. Traci: Dude, don't be an idiot! If nothing else, you've got a damn title match on Friday to see who the undisputed best team in ECW is. How is it you two ass holes always manage to have a blow-up at the least helpful time? RVD turns to Traci and laughs realising she has a point. He pushes Michaels hand away and hugs him instead. Michaels smiles, relieved. RVD: just don't go cutting my grass anymore, douchebag. Traci joins for a group hug as the camera cuts back to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpg STD comes out looking like the angry, black militant that he is, taking the fight to the "Big Balbutient Behemoth". However, after a few minutes have passed, the rest of The Dudley Family become involved and lay a beating on Slyk Tayshaun. In the seventh minute, as Dick lays the boots into his debuting half-brother, his other half-brother and his uncles set up a table at ringside next to the apron. Dick Jr picks up STD in a choke hold... Total Penetration over the ropes and through the table! Joey: OH MY GOD! Taz: Slyk Dudley is a dead Dudley! Referee, Chris Kay, decides that STD is completely incapacitated and awards the match to Big Dick Jr. Match Rating: D+ The song that all ECW fans are growing to loathe blares out of the arena speakers. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Hero: Yes it is I, the man whose intelligent end reasoned words are the reason that you people spend your benefit packet on ECW tickets; The Saviour of ECW, Chris Hero. "Shut the f**k up!" *Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap* Hero: Now, since my mic time was so rudely cut short last week, I have taken the liberty of preparing the following public announcement, aptly entitled "An objective analysis into the factors that make Chris Hero better than Jerry Lynn." You'll have to forgive me... it is a long speech; I didn't have time to write a short one. Now, the first factor that... Jerry Lynn bursts through the curtain, cutting Hero dead. The match soon begins. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg The match is extremely even with neither man seeing much of an advantage for the first several minutes. However, by the eleventh minute, The Dynamic One's experience starts to show as he takes control. After landing several consecutive moves, he looks about ready to put Hero away. Kurt Angle comes out on his crutches. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg As Angle hobbles his way to ringside, Lynn is, of course, distracted. Hero rolls up his opponent from behind. 1...2... Kickout! However, as Lynn makes to retalliate, Angle jumps up onto the apron and nails Lynn in the back with his crutch. Lynn staggers forward into the Hero's Welcome! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B- Hudson: Lynn just got screwed! Gertner: I dunno... I thought Hero put in a great performance... and that cameo from Kurt Angle... pure gold. CM Punk is walking down a backstage corridoor, looking pleased with his title defence, when Vito Thomaselli jumps him from behind. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg Vito catches his opponent with a clubbing blow from behind and soon follows up with a Vito Driver on the concrete. Vito: That's just the beginning, bastardo! Tommorrow night, I'm gonna humiliate you, motherf**ker, and make you pay for all that you've done to my family! The camera cuts to where Chris Jericho is ready for a shopot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg Jericho: Owen, you better not be thinking that last week's match proved anything. It wasn't even you who pinned me and, at Anarchy Rulz, there is no chance of me being on the canvas long enough for a pinfall let alone for you to lock in the Crapshooter! On Friday night, I will prove once and for all that Canadian wrestling has a new champion and his name... is Jericho! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg The match is fairly even and both women look fully capable of qualifying for the title match. However, it is Kelly who does so, rather deftly employing her brother's patented Vito Driver for the fall. Match Rating: C- "The New Franchise" and his mentor are backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNFSlick.jpg Shane Douglas lets out his trademark laugh. Douglas: Nate Hatred, it's true that you may just be ECW's Most Extreme Athlete. Hell, you've actually made a believer out of me but the thing you have to recognise is that there is a huge difference between being ECW's Most Extreme Athlete and being ECW's Best Athlete. The man that stands beside, the man who was chosen ahead of any other member of his generation to inherit the mantle of "The Franchise", Paul Burchill, is ECW's Best Athlete. So, since you are foolish enough to acquiesce to Raven's wishes, you are the next man to be taken to school by the best damn wrestler alive today! Burchill: You see, Nate, I've spent the last month fighting with my career on the line and it hasn't even phased me. Douglas: ..and I hope you note something else, Nate Hatred. That something is that Paul Burchill has not even bothered to mention the name of Rhino tonight. That is because, as good as the Man Beast is, as unstoppable as he may appear, his defeat is just one more minor accomplishment on the ever-expanding CV of "The New Franchise". Rhino will be put in his place tonight just as you will be come Anarchy Rulz! Burchill: ...and if you thought Sandman or Sabu were tough, you haven't seen anything yet! http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpgvs.http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpg This is another even contest with both men looking strong ahead of their Tag Team Title match. Despite a severe lack of psychology on display, the men put together a much-appreciate chaotic, hardcore brawl. Neither man takes a particular advantage. However, in the twelfth minute, Cactus Jack comes running out. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpg He slides into the ring and immediately aids his partner by setting about RVD with his trademark Singapore cane. RVD soon starts to fade under the pressure of a 2-on-1 assault. But Shawn Michaels makes his innevitable appearance. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpg Michaels slides straight into the ring and launches the Sweet Chin Music at Dreamer. But Dreamer ducks and the Super Kick catches RVD square-on. cactus Jack bundles Michaels to the ground as Dreamer makes the cover. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Hudson: Just as we thought they'd patched things up. Gertner: Somehow, The Whole F**kin' Show always find a way to make things more rocky than you'd predict! AJ Styles is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg Styles: It's just four days away now. We're just four days from the night where I put the legend of Ultimo Dragon to sleep and prove myself as the most talented World Television Champion ECW has ever seen. I sent Juventud Guerrera packing; I'll send you packing and there ain't a thing you or that slut, Francine, can do about it! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg The two men combine for a great main event, solidly based upon the principle of hardcore brawling. Despite the high caliber of the match-up, its true purpose for being booked is revealed in the tenth minute... The Nest, accompanied by Nate hatred, storm the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg A 5-on-2 assault begins as referee, John Finnegan, calls for a no contest. Match Rating: A As the assault continues and Shane Douglas enters to help his protege, the Thomasellis come running out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg They quickly come to the aid of "The New Franchise", Kelly making a beeline for Alexis Laree and Vito charging at Punk. Gertner: My god, this is crazy! Seemingly to add to Gertner's point, "The Soul Taker" strides down to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg The giant soon re-ignites his feud with The Man Beast and it becomes difficult to tell who is beating on who. To add to the chaos, several women come running out to settle some scores. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BeulahMcGillicutty.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg Gertner: Is there anyone not in the ring right now? Hudson: It looks like anarchy has taken over four days early! ...and as the show goes off-air, the tag teams come out to back up their female members. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpg Hudson: I'm not even gonn attempt to call this! We'll see you at Anarchy Rulz! Show Rating: B+

I canae promise that but I am slowly getting him up the card. I love the guy too... it's why I give him so much time every show but I can't give him the stra just yet I'm afraid. It's Corino. He's a legend and one of the things that makes him that legend is his willingness to put over other talent. I'm trying to turn Jazz into an anchor for the women's division. Meanwhile, Corino's overness is not moving anywhere anytime soon, his body is in shocking condition and he may not be too far off retirement. He seemed like a good one to roll with since he has great basics to teach too. I love you... Oh, what but Big Dick is acceptable?! It's the Dudleyz... They, along with the sWo, form the much admired ECW comedy division. As for Hero, yeah... I've been waiting to start using him regularly and now I'm waiting to give him a upper-midcard/main-event push. I did give him a new video, though, which is one of my favourites I've ever done .

I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz. Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joe. Man, have we got some great matches tonight? The tension in ECW is just about set to explode even ahead of Anarchy Rulz! Joey: Absolutely, Taz. We're just under a week away and, with five titles on the line... Taz: Six if you count both tag straps... Joey: ...Anarchy Rulz is bound to be one hell of a show. Taz: Man, I'm just itching to see some action... let's get to it! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg Somewhat predictably, Tanaka is dominated. Through both interference from The Sinister Minister and Nate Hatred's own sheer power, the result is in little doubt. Hatred scores the victory after a Decapitator Lariat in the eleventh minute. Match Rating: B "The Soul Taker" is backstage for a shoor promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg He stares down at the camera that is positioned below his face. Taker: I came to ECW, in part, to get away from the bullsh*t politics of The Federation but, more importantly, my pilgrimage to this unholy land was in order to prove what the wise have known all along... The Soul Taker is the toughest motherf**ker alive! Rhino, down in Texas, we have an old saying: "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, make sure to dig two graves". Well, after you cost me my rightful place as ECW Champion and damn near broke my neck, I swore a personal debt of revenge and, if two graves is what it takes, then you're coming straight to hell with me! He removes his sunglasses. His piercing eyes stare into the camera as the broadcast cuts back to ringside. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg The match is a very even contest in which all four men see much offence. Neither team necessarily looks stronger. However, it is Owen Hart and Ultimo Dragon who score the fall after Chris Jericho falls prey to the Dradon DDT. Match Rating: B Big Sasuke Cool is backstage. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpg He walks into the locker room marked "sWo". As he steps through the door, a pot of blue paint falls onto his head. He quakes with rage, shaking the paint from his clothing. He exits and walks down the corridoor towards the washroom.

The friction between the tag champs is evident, the mess from last week clearly not resolved, and RVD seems hesitant to tag in Michaels. In the twelfth minute, Daizy and Traci engage in their obligatory catfight. Joey: CAAAATFIIIIGHT! CAAAAAAAATFIIIIIIIIGHT! D-Von goes to assist his niece, so, Michaels exits the ring to aid Traci. Ultimo Dudley II sees Michaels coming and charges at him with his garbage can. Michaels ducks and Traci is decked with the weapon. Joey: My god! Traci just got knocked cold! Taz: Can we get some help out here? RVD jumps down off the apron to check on Traci as Michaels is bundled back in the ring by the Dudleyz. As Michaels continues to battle Bubba Ray, RVD picks up Traci in his arms and carries her to the back. Taz: Oh, man. Shawn's on his own! Michaels battles on valiantly and begins to take the upper-hand. D-Von and "Banzai" enter the ring to assist their family. Super Kick to Ultimo Dudley... ...and one to D-Von! However, Big Dick Jr picks up HBK in a Flapjack. Bubba rebounds off the ropes... 3D! 1...2...3! Match Rating: B Joey: Damn it, the numbers proved too much for Shawn Michaels. Taz: ...and something tells me Rob may be off his Christmas card list! After the match, a 5-on-1 assault ensues. That is until "That Other Dudley" runs to the ring with a confederate flag on a pole. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg He slides into the ring and stars battering his family members with the flagpole. Taz: Dude... is that a confederate flag? Joey: Looks like it. Taz: But he's black, for crying out loud! The other Dudleyz decide to retreat rather than stay and fight. Rhino is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg Rhino: JUST SIX DAYS, RAVEN! Just six days until I cripple your ass and walk away as the new World Heavyweight Champion. He thumps his chest. Rhino: I'm unbeatable... you hear me? UN-F**KING-STOPPABLE! And, at Anarchy Rulz, The Gore is gonna crack your ribs and The Rhino Driver is gonna break your neck! It's my time... MY TIME!

He receives a somewhat less-than-positive response. Hero: I am out here to draw attention to the fact that what happened on Monday night was a god damn disgrace! For two wannabes to assault a respected pioneer like my goodself... it's just plain disgusting! Taz: Wannabes?! Does he mean Taker and Rhino? Joey: Respected Pioneer?! He surely can't mean himself. Hero: Now, I may just be feeling a little sensitive after getting driven through a table but I think I've been picking up on some negative energy around this place for a while. Taz: Ya think? Hero: I was thinking, as ECW's saviour, it's not just my job to inject some much-needed talent into the roster; I have also undertaken a responsibility to educate you people in the ways of wrestling so that you might benefit and better yourselves. So, without further ado, I entitle the following educational essay "One Thousand and Tenty Four Reasons That You Should Love Chris Hero". Joey: What the hell? Taz: Is he joking?! Like Monday night, Hero removes a piece of paper from his pocket. Hero: It was initially supposed to be one thousand reasons but I'm so good I couldn't cut it down anymore. "Shut the f**k up!" *Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap* Hero: Number One: He is The Saviour of ECW! Taz: Oh, dear god, tell me we don't have to sit through this! Hero: Number Two: He has a more beautiful side-headlock at his disposal than anyone else in the industry! Number Three: He has great hair! Number Four: His beard is pretty awesome too! Number Five: There's not even anyone else in the locker room worth cheering! Number Six: He is worth cheering! Joey: I don't think I can take this... Taz: Maybe I'll take a coffee break. Can we do that? Hero: Number Seven: He likes such great musical artists as Bonnie Tyler! Number Eight: He has his own logo! Number Nine: He discusses himself in the third person as all great men do! Number Ten: He can actually count to ten which is more than can be said for most in attendance tonight! Number Eleven: Even after being driven through a table, he still... Jerry Lynn bursts through the curtain with a microphone. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg Lynn: SHUT... THE... F**K... UP! Huge pop! Lynn: I'm gonna make you aware of something, Chris, that you may not have noticed. ECW doesn't need saving and, for that, as well as one thousand and twenty four other reasons, none of us boys in the back nor any of these people in attendance tonight want you here! Another huge pop. Hero: ...and I'm gonna make you aware of something, "Jerry". I'm not alone in being disrespected. Jesus was a saviour before me and he was met with similarly foolish arrogance! Lynn looks astounded. Lynn: Dude, did you just compare yourself to Jesus? Hero: Of course not... he was far less culturally important! Lynn has clearly heard enough. He sprints to the ring to apprehend Hero but the rookie decides to make a quick exit. Joey: That'd be right, high-tail it before you have to back up your big mouth! Taz: Let me tell ya something, Styles, this Hero is gonna talk himself into a lot of problems! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg This is another even contest with all contestants looking strong.

Bayless: Err... it's Becky... Becky Bay... Dudley: Bitch, I don't care what'chyo god damn name is, dig? Becky mockingly makes gang sign. Becky: Yeah... dig, blood. The four-eyed militant looks pissed with the parody. Bayless moves on quickly. Bayless: So, do you have a name? Dudley: Damn f**kin' straight I have a f**kin' name! Bayless frowns. Bayless: ...and what is it, exactly? Dudley: My name is Slyk Tayshaun Dudley but my brothas call me STD! Bayless: Speaking of "brothers" you certainly seem to be having issues with your family. Would you care to explain them? STD: I am the seventh son of my daddy, Big Dick Dudley, who I have not seen in some damn seven-summin' years. Before he left on his trek to god-knows-where, he told me that I must "find out the truth" from Uncle D-Von. Bayless: Find out the truth? What does that mean? STD: What it means, bitch... Bayless: BECKY! STD: What it means is that D-Von had some secret over my daddy. That's what made him leave and that's what I gots to find out. Bayless: ...and you plan to do that by beating him sensless. STD: No I'm beating the motha f**cka senseless for some god damn revenge for my daddy, bitch. Bayless: BECKY! STD: But I will find out D-Von's dirty secret don't yo sorry white ass worry 'bout that! STD walks off looking angry as ever. Bayless: I'm sure I won't lose any sleep. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg The two men do not put on as good a match as expected. Burchill clearly controls the contest comfortably. He finishes Brandon with a C-4 in the twelfth minute. Match Rating: B As Burchill celebrates, Nate Hatred emerges from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg He slides into the ring as Burchill turns around... DECAPITATOR LARIAT! Joey: My god! Burchill nearly had his head taken off! Shane Douglas goes to help but is immediately Clotheslined with similarly frightening force. The show goes off air as ECW's Most Extreme Athlete stands above his prey. Show Rating: B+
