“The NEGOTIATOR ”

0730 am.

12 hours before Extreme Measures, episode V. Paul Heyman is at home relaxing before he heads down to Madison Square Garden again, to prepare for the show. As of late, Heyman has been impressed with his newest partner/”apprentice”. Heyman used to be the very first person at the venue and the last one to leave it. Anthony however has become a “younger” version of Heyman himself. He may not know everything about the “Wrestling Business” but he is very well versed in business in general. And both Heyman and Anthony have something in common. When called upon, they a can be VERY RUTHLESS. And if they were going to survive this wrestling war…they were going to be downright “Cut throat”. As Heyman was sending his kids to school and as he kissed his wife goodbye, he received an email from his partner.

“Paul. Its Anthony. Meet me at this address below. 2 Hours. Have a surprise for you.

-L.A.”

0900 am.

As Heyman drove down to the address in question , he started to wonder about his partner. Who was he really? And why did he have such a vendetta against guys like Bischoff and McMahon? Since the past two months when ECW was resurrected, the other promotions have been taking notice. WWE tried to sign Joey Styles, which he refused. Smoky Mounting Wrestling tried to sign Cheerleader Mellisa, Shad and Antonio Banks (Keep in mind, SMW was one of many promotions ECW is at war with, so the “us or them” clause was in effect.).

As Heyman pulled up to the building, it was right on the outskirts of New York, kind of like a “purgatory” of sorts. Not in Hell. Not in Heaven, but right in between. Same thing with this place. Not in New York. Not in New Jersey, but right in between. Anthony was sitting outside his car, smoking a “black and mild” cigar, with his shades waiting for his business partner and friend.

Anthony: “Hello Paul, I hope you found the place ok.”

Heyman: “I found the place fine. You didn’t drag me all the way to the middle of nowhere, so you can kill me and take over ECW all for yourself did you?”

Anthony lets out a hysterical laugh.

Anthony: “That funny, I wouldn’t call this the “middle of nowhere”. And besides, if I wanted you murdered, I would be the prime suspect, not to mention, IF I wanted you dead, they would NEVER find your body. Just a thought.”

Heyman lets loose a slightly “uneasy” laugh as well.

Heyman: “Ok, so what are we looking at here? What is this place?”

Anthony starts to show Heyman around the building. It was nice and spacious. And it had a clear view of New York. After about 15 minutes, Heyman’s patience was wearing thin.

Heyman: “Anthony this place is nice looking and all, but what is it? You have been giving me a tour of something for the last 15 minutes and I have driven almost 30 minutes to get out here. So you mind telling me what this place is?”

Anthony: “This my friend, is the NEW House of Hardcore!”

Heyman: “You re-opened our wrestling school? “

Anthony: “No Paul. Better. This is our new VENUE for OUR wrestling events. I took advantage of the bad economy and bought this foreclosed building. Got a good deal for it.”

Heyman: “Oh boy. How much are we talking about?”

Anthony: “Well with the renovations and everything, the wrestling permits and pretty much make this place look ‘pimp’. We are looking at about $750,000.”

Heyman: “That’s kinda a lot isn’t it? “

Anthony: “Yeah, at first. But look at it this way. We put on a PPV show every week, and we are SOLD OUT! But in reality, we are LOSING MONEY. We rent the building at $60,000 a night, and we get packed full of people, which is 15,000 people a night, yet over 20,000 shows up. We have to turn away over 5000 people, which at $18 a ticket is about….”

Heyman: “$90,000”

Anthony: “Exactly!! And that just tickets! We aint even taking into account the talent we have to pay, the merchandise we pay and all that. I mean we go ahead and shell out the loot, we will make even on the money in less than 2 months! And besides, we don’t have a choice.”

Heyman: “Why not?”

Anthony: “I already bought the building! This building will be ready in 4 weeks.”

Heyman: “Why 4 weeks?”

Anthony: “Because if my plan goes the way I want it, we might be able to secure a TV deal. Like I said before, ‘The best punch to your enemies is the one THEY DON’T SEE COMING”.

Heyman starts to tries to hide it, but cant and lets loose a evil, slightly sinister grin. Before Heyman can say anything, Anthony’s ringtone of “I’m So Hood” by DJ Khaled begins to play.

Anthony: “Hold on Paul, I need to take this…” (Answers his phone) “Hello Sophie. Oh really? Whose interested in negotiations? Damn!! That MANY?? So let me get this straight, all those guys? Hold on I am going to put on speaker”

Heyman signals to Anthony.

Heyman: “Whose Sophie? “

Anthony: “Personal Secretary, one of the baddest minds in the Business Adminstation, especially in the Wrestling World. And not mention shes REAL EASY on the eyes!” (Anthony puts his phone on speaker) “Ok Sophie, I got Paul with me, go ahead and tell me whose interested in “negotiations”…

Sophie: “Mr. Anthony, I have received emails from the following wrestlers who are interested in signing with the promotion. Jimmy Rave, Eddie Edwards, Austin Aries, Matt Cross and….NECRO BUTCHER!”

Heyman at this point is looking like a kid in a candy store.

Anthony: “Good Job Sophie. Any other news?”

Sophie: “Yes sir. You told me to see if we could have some Indy Jobbers, that might be able to get signed to the promotion for less than $500 a appearance. Mr. Piper has came back with 2 Names. Jerome Bruce and Sterling James Keenan.”

Anthony: “I will see what these guys got.”

Sophie: “One more thing sir. That “special project” you wanted me to work on? That former TNA/WWE wrestler, he is willing to do negotiations with us. He’s also in negotiaitions with NWA according to his representatives.”

Anthony: “I aint worried about NWA. Thanks for everything Sohpie. Tell all those guys, we will meet for negotiations tomorrow. We have a show to deal with. Have a good day. Take the REST of the day off.”

Sophie: “Thank you sir. I will have my cell if you need anything”

Anthony hangs up the phone, and Heyman look legitimately happy. He’s even forgot that three quarters of a million dollars were spent on a abandoned building.

Heyman: “Whose the “Special Project” and whats that all about?

Anthony looks at Heyman with a sinister grin.

Anthony: “This is the man, who “attacked” Rob Van Dam, last month…..if this plays out right, this storyline will be HUGE!”

TO BE CONTINUED!!

Fate Questions:

1. Who (do you think) is the man that Anthony is in negotiations with ” that “attacked Rob Van Dam last month?

2. Hiring Jobbers. Good Idea or Bad Idea?

“The Iron Man” Ron Conway w/Don Callis vs Scorpio

Conway wasted no time going up against Scorpio and he kept him on the ground and started working on his legs as much as possible. But Scorpio brought the offense back against Conway, and took to the air despite the fact that Conway was working on his legs. The finish came when Scorpio tried to finish him off with his 450 Splash, but he was playing possum and finished him off the “Con-Viction” (Whiplash), with Scorpio on the top rope for the win.

Winner: Rob Conway

Rating: 62

Angle: “The Pecking Order”

Teddy Long, the NEW ECW TV Champion, Rico Dinero and the Former ECW Heavyweight Champion, Antonio Banks come down to the ring. Teddy Long was ecstatic about the success of his stable, “The Playa’s Club” and hyping the newest addition of Dinero, winning the TV Title his very first night….Banks however wasn’t too happy …

Banks snatches the microphone away from Long.

Banks: “T’Lo, SHUT THE HELL UP!!” (that statement actually got him a “Pop” from the crowd.!) “I don’t know what crack you were smoking before the show, but you need to understand something, I am the LEADER of the Playa’s Club! Now what’s wrong with this picture? Dinero obviously has his title, and your smiling like a DRUNK HYENA! Oh wait…I know…I DON’T HAVE MY DAMN TITLE!!!”

At this point Dinero begins to take offense to what Banks has just said about him.

Dinero: “Now look pimpin, don’t get mad at me!! I mean it’s not my fault that you couldn’t get ‘the job’ done last night!”

Banks looks at Dinero with anger…

Banks: “First of all you need to sit your $5 Dollar ass down before I make CHANGE!! And second you need to recognize who you are talking to Dinero! You are talking to the MIAMI MVP, ANTONIO BANKS! And 3rd you need to be focus at the task at hand, because tonight you got 3 guys that gonna be gunning for YOUR title. So if I was you, I wouldn’t be talking bout how ‘GREAT’ I am, I would be worried about who I am going to be facing next!? And for you Dave Finlay, I am NOT DONE with you, not by a LONG SHOT! Congratulations on your title win, but make no mistake, the title will be coming back home to me and back to the Playa’s club!! So I am envoking my rematch clause and I am going to be getting my title back at BARELY LEGAL, SO KEEP IT SHINED UP FOR ME SON!”

Banks throws down the microphone and his theme music plays, as he leaves the ring, leaving both Dinero and Long in the ring.

EKMO vs James Gibson

Even though James Gibson changed his name from the former “Jamie Noble”, it still didn’t change the “pug like” tenaciousness when he fought the big man. However that wasn’t enough, because the big man went thru Gibson like a hot knife butter. The finish came when EKMO finished off Gibson with the finisher the “Triple-S” (Samoan Sidewinder Slam) for the win.

Winner: EKMO

Rating: 56

Angle: “Crashing the Party”

Dave Finlay comes into the arena with his newly won ECW Heavyweight Championship belt. He start to walk down the ramp way and starts to shake hands with the fans. Suddenly, his opponent Tyler Douglas attacks him from behind! They start to brawl to the ring, and Douglas take advantage of the wounds that Finlay sustained last night, and kicked Finlay in the knee. Then hit him with the title belt, and delivered the D.O.A. on Finlay. Then he locked in the “Long Arm of the Out-Law” arm bar. He let go when staff started to restrained him. He then grabbed the title belt and raised it in the air.

Rating: 75

“The King of Diamonds” Eddie Kingston vs Jerry Lynn

Lynn’s tag team partner didn’t have much luck tonight against Rob Conway, but Lynn held his own against the “King of Diamonds”. This match had solid action, and it defiantely brought the crowd up from the “lukewarm” match with EKMO vs Gibson. There was a couple of nearfalls in the match when Kingston blasted Lynn with a “Backfist to the Future” but Lynn kicked out. Lynn however returned the favor and delivered a “picture perfect” Tornado DDT to a chair, but Kingston kicked out as well! The finish of the match, came when Lynn tried to pick him up and finish him with the “Cradle Piledriver” but couldn’t because his back gave out on him. Kingston took advantage and hit not one, but TWO “Backdrop Drivers” on Lynn, to the same chair that Lynn used on him earlier for the win.

Winner: Eddie Kingston

Rating: 79

The Damaja vs Black Tiger

The Black Tiger took it to Damaja real early in the match, hitting him with some stiff chops and kicks, and he went for the Cross Armbar breaker several times in the match. But Damaja was very smart, being near the ropes every time Tiger tried to apply it. The tide of this match turned into Damaja’s favor, when he countered the “Black Tiger Bomb” and turned into an Alabama Slam. It was pretty much downhill from there when Damaja hit the “Collateral Damage” (Shoulder Breaker) and then he hit the “Brain

Damage 2.0” (Choke Bomb) for the win.

Winner: The Damaja

Rating: 74

Angle: “Promise Kept”

Joey Styles is interviewing Carlito before his match with Rob Van Dam. Carlito says that he “kept” his promise to Tajiri and Dawn Marie, even though he never laid a hand on her. He says now that his attentions are turned to RVD tonight. He says that if he beats RVD (and he knows he can), then he will be in the ECW Heavyweight Title Contention, because in the end, like always, its CARLITO’S WAY, or NO WAY!!

Rating: 67

ECW TV Title #1 Contender’s Match

Super Crazy vs Chavo Guererro vs Shane Helms

Special Guest Commentator: Rico Dinero and Teddy Long.

This was pretty much a repeat match of Living Dangerously, and like “Dangerously”, this match definitely didn’t disappoint. ECW TV Champion was doing special guest commentary to scope out his competition for the #1 Contendership. You see when Dinero won the title, it opened up the question, “Whose the Number 1 Contender?” Now even though these 3 men went thru a brutal ladder match less than a week ago, you couldn’t tell, because all of these men wanted the title badly, especially Helms who felt he was screwed over. The finish of the match was just as screwy as the one at Living Dangerously, because Helms hit the “Verterbreaker” on Chavo, after Chavo hit the “Ode to Eddie” Frog Splash on Crazy! Teddy Long started to distract the referee, preventing Helms from making the cover. Helms went to grab on Long, but Dinero attacked Long from behind and hit the “Near Death Experience” on Helms, and then he laid Crazy on top of Helms. When Long quit distracting the referee, he counted the pinfall, screwing Helms over once again.

Winner and New #1 Contender: Super Crazy

Rating: 76

Angle: “RVD is Unphased”

Thomas Campbell is interviewing Rob Van Dam in his upcoming match vs Carlito Colon, and the first thing he was asked was his thoughts on the match at Living Dangerously. He said that everyone in that match was banged up and hurt, but it didn’t bother him, because it took 2 people on the top of their game to beat him! And as far as Carlito goes, he says that he can talk all the [beep] he wants, because let’s face it, he was in the ring with the ECW Champion Antonio Banks, and current Heavyweight Champion, Dave Finlay, and he BARELY could beat Tajiri, but he ends the interview saying “Its ok, your not RVD. Its Cool. Its not a bad thing, just makes you like EVERYONE ELSE!”

ECW Title Match

“The Belfast Brawler” Dave Finlay © vs “The Outlaw” Tyler Douglas

Douglas came out looking very strong in this bout, especially with the attack that he did earlier on him. He was working on both his arm and neck, setting him up for both the D.O.A. and the “Long Arm of the Outlaw” Armbar. But Finlay wasn’t going out without a fight. He brawled with Douglas with his one good arm and delievered a DDT, but only for a two count! He tried to do the Celtic Crash, but his arm gave out on him, and Douglas deleivered the D.O.A! But it was only for a 2 count!! Then Douglas, went out of the ring, and got two chairs and face each other, and tried to do Finlay’s finisher like he did to Banks at Living Dangerously! But a “hooded” figure came down and attacked Douglas and did the Tombstone Piledriver on to the chairs to bust Douglas wide open! The hooded figure then put Finlay on top of Douglas for the pinfall. As Finlay regains his bearings, he starts to wonder who the hooded figure was, as well as the rest of the crowd, and people think it was Dreamer, beginning chants of “Dreamer, Dreamer”….but when the hooded figure unmasked himself, it would shock everyone, to include Finlay. The hooded figure was none other than ANTONIO BANKS!!!???

Winner and Still ECW Heavyweight Champion: Dave Finlay

Rating: 78

“The Whole F’N Show” Rob Van Dam w/Bill Alfonso vs Carlito Colon

Carlito played the classic heel and started to take advantage of the wounds that RVD sustained earlier this week on the pay per view. Not to mention he used every short cut in the book to get a victory over RVD, as far as holding the tights and putting his foot on the ropes. Then we went extreme and got a chair and tried to hit RVD, but anyone whose faught Van Dam, the last thing you want is a chair in your hands and miss, because you will get a Van Daminator in your face! And that’s exactly what Van Dam gave him! He then tried to go for a 5 Star Frog Splash but Carlito moved out of the way! The finish came when Van Dam tried for the Split Legged Moonsault but out of nowhere Carlito hit him with the “Backstabber”! He then tried to add insult to injury, when Tajiri came up from under the ring and sprayed him in the eyes with “Black Mist”, blinding him! RVD took advantage of him falling off the ropes and tried for the 5 Star Frog Splash and this time he hit it for the win!

Winner: Rob Van Dam

“Personnel Changes”

Scenario: Sophie, Logan Anthony and Paul Heyman are in the “conference room” where they have just gotten done signing one of the the “Honor Dozen”, the 12 men who were released from Ring of Honor earlier this month. So far, ECW has signed already Chad Malenko, Davey Richards and Roderick Strong. Strong and Richards had a pretty good dark match against Teddy Hart and the recently added “Jobber” Danny Havoc. They have been billed as “the Roughnecks”, and if they do as well as they did at Extreme Measures V, they will have a very bright future here in ECW. One of the "Honor's Dozen" has just signed the contract employing him with Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Logan: “Thank you , Mr. Guffey.

“Guffey” : “Thank you Mr. Anthony.”

Logan: “Mr. Anthony is my father. You can call me Logan. We have a semi professional atmosphere here.”

Guffey: Ok , ‘Logan’. So what are going to do with my “Character”?

Heyman: Well it depends. Do you want a new character, or do you want to be what you always known as, Jimmy Rave?”

Rave: “Well I think I want to stick with Rave. Beside I think I can be useful as a Heel.

Logan: “Ok Jimmy Rave, you are probably going to be either working a few dark matches or lower midcarder matches until we find out what we can do with your character. Thank you again for signing with us. We will keep in touch.”

Rave: “No problem, Logan. Thanks again. See you soon.”

After James Guffey aka Jimmy Rave leaves the room, the rest of the ECW Backstage Staff, comes into the room. Tommy Dreamer, Marc Le Grizzley and Roddy Piper enter the room to conduct the weekly meeting.

Logan: “Ok guys I am happy to report that we have signed 8 Stars out of the “Honor’s Dozen”, in addition to signing Strong, Richards and Malenko (Collyer), we have also signed Necro Butcher, Aries, Cross, and of course Jimmy Rave, who you have just seen walk out the door. So we have brand new talent, but now we seem to have a new problem. We have a bloated roster. Any ideas?

Le Grizzly: “We could do a brand extention?”

Heyman: “Wouldn’t do any good, we are not big enough to do that yet, not to mention we are not lard enough to have the exposure.”

Piper: “We could do a longer show. We could make it 2 and a half hours instead of 2, and make the PPV’s 3 hours.”

Logan: “That’s a very good possibility. I think that’s what we are going to do. Moving on, we might need to release some guys. As you know, me and Paul have initiated the ‘probationary initiative’….”

Just as Logan was explaining the initiative, the phone rings in the conference room, while Logan is looking at Paul as if he’s expecting a phone call. No one was expecting this.

“Voice”: Hello Paul. Its nice to hear from you again.

Paul: “Eric? Eric Bischoff? You have some SERIOUS BALLS calling me right now!”

Eric: “Calm down. I didn’t call to start and argument or anything. If anything, I called to congratulate you. You have been putting on some pretty good shows lately, and I have seen that you have signed some of the “Honor’s Dozen”. I haven’t seen that move since Vince put Benoit, Saturn, Guererro and Malenko on Monday Night Raw, just 24 hours after they were released from us!”

Logan: “Get to the point Eric! ‘Cuz bottom line, your wasting my time, and testing his patience!”

Eric: “I was just calling to congratulate you for getting ‘attention’ of some of your old buddies. Like TNA , ROH and SMW. You remember who runs SMW don’t you Paul?”

Paul: “Jim Cornette.”

Eric: “Well again, continue cranking out those good shows, and good luck on those ‘Personel Changes’”.

Eric lets out a evil laugh and hangs up the phone. Everyone in the room except Sophie knew what that meant as a cold sweat began to break out on Paul.

Sophie: “He seemed nice. What did he mean about “personel changes”?

Paul: “He wasn’t calling to be nice. He was calling to gloat.”

Logan: “And the personnel changes were NOT about the guys we signed from Ring Of Honor.”

Sophie: “Then what was it bout…? “

Paul: “We are about to get RAIDED.... AGAIN.”

Logan: “Well looks like we wont have that problem about a bloated roster after all.....”

To Be Continued…

Fate Question:

-Who do you think will be STOLEN from ECW, and where do you think they will be going?

- Should the weekly PPV be increased to 2 and half hours? Or Should thier be a brand extention? Or no Change?

“First Blood”

Logan Anthony has just came from the gym working out, when he goes to his phone and received a message from his personal assistant, Sophie.

“We are losing 4. Contact Asap. –Sophie”

Immediately, Anthony’s premonitions from Eric Bischoff’s warning was coming true. He ran to his car and put his phones blue tooth to his ear.

Anthony: “Call Paul”

His cell automatically dials Heyman’s phone number, and after 3 rings, Paul answers.

Anthony: “Did Sophie contact you?”

Heyman: “Yeah I just read.”

Anthony: “ I am 5 minutes from the office”

Heyman: “I am already here, see you when you get here.”

Anthony in a frantic motion starts to run in with his work out clothes still on, Sophie and Heyman are waiting in the “briefing room”.

Anthony: “Who are the four?”

Sophie: “Monty Brown, Carlito Colon, Ray Gonzales and Bryan Danielson. Carlito was offered a position with IWA: PR, which he jumped on immediately, and what worse they only offered him a Pay Per Appearance contract.”

Heyman: “So what’s the bad part?”

Sophie: “He did not wish to remain with us. He invoked his 1 week ‘separation clause’. We have use for him for only 7 more days.”

Anthony: “Can we resign him?”

Sophie: “He wants his promised title reign before he even THINKS about renegotiating with us!”

Heyman: “Anthony, you have been focus on the booking lately, is that even possible? “

Anthony: “NO. Unless you want to look like WCW or TNA! I mean granted, if I had more time or knew this was coming, I could have booked it to where he won the T.V. title, but I can’t just up and award the T.V. or World Title to him! That would be insulting to the fans. Not to mention that with both fueds going on, Finlay vs Banks for the World Title and Burke (Dinero) vs Helms for the T.V. title, there is nothing we can do….we just going to have to cut our losses with Colon.”

Heyman: “Ok. It seems that you know what your doing. It’s a shame though…”

Anthony: “Who are you telling? I was planning on doing a stable program with him and the Miz. Sophie how do we stand on Brown?”

Sophie: “He signed a Pay Per Appearance deal with Full Impact Pro, only thing is he is open for re-negotiations. I kind of opted for that on your behalf sir.”

Heyman: “And what did he say?”

Sophie: “He said that he would get back to us. From the looks of it, it looks like a 50/50 split.”

Anthony: “I hope we can keep him. He has had a solid program with Sabu, especially the falls count anywhere match last month. I wanted him to join the ‘Playa’s Club stable with Banks, Dinero and Long. Who do we got next?”

Sophie: “Ray Gonzales”

Anthony: Who did he sign with?

Sophie: USWA. And like Carlito, he isn’t open to any re-negotiations.

At this point Logan is FURIOUS!

<O:p</O:p

Anthony: Are you serious? After all the [beep] I had to put up with when it came to him? Fighting with Fan’s and Finlay? I tell you what, I am going to give him a nice “Good bye” present.

Heyman: You gonna bury him?

Anthony: Quicker than you can say “REST IN PEACE.”

Sophie: You know that might burn some bridges with him in the near future.

Anthony: GOOD! It will get rid of a cancer like him and also let the backstage know I aint playin anymore!! So tell me the bad news about Danielson…

Sophie: We have 18 days left with him. He’s a freelancer and he has loyalty to no promotion. The problem is that he can make more money in Japan than over here. The industry has been, to use a lack of a better word….BAD.

Heyman: At least he gave a decent reason. Maybe we can use him to put Miz over and possibly finish up the fued with him and Kash, Mellisa, and MIZ.

Anthony: Yeah. It’s a shame, he was supposed to get “tapped’ as a future T.V. Champion.

Heyman: Ok, so since we are possibly losing those 4, what are your plans for “blow off” matches?

Anthony: “Going to have a special memorable match between Carlito or Tajiri. I figured they are both tied in match ups and this should be a fued ender, to make Tajiri looks strong and a possible title contender, while Carlito goes his own way. Brown I am going to book him in a “Stretcher Match” vs Sabu. Since both men pretty much put each other there in the last pay per view, it can “close” the chapter between Sabu and Brown, assuming we can’t keep Brown. Danielson, I am still going to ride the Miz fued out with him until completion. Worse case scenario, he have Danielson until Barely Legal, and then he leaves, maybe even putting Miz over in the process.”

Heyman: “And Gonzales?”

Anthony: “He’s a midcarder, so since he can’t at least stay loyal after all the crap I have put up with, I am going to put someone in his spot who DESERVES it….”

Sophie and Heyman say in unison: “WHO?”

Anthony begins to walk off, leaving both Heyman and Sophie in suspense.

Anthony: It's a "surprise". But I will tell you this, I bet this is only the begining. I wont be surprised if more people get "approached"...

“Extreme Measures: Episodes VI

‘Hostile Intent’

“Mr. Raytings” Ray Gonzales vs. ???

Gonzales has been extremely controversial since his time here at ECW. He has gotten into highly publicized feuds with current ECW Heavyweight Champion, Dave Finlay and even with a fan! So now that Gonzales is basically taking the mercenary route and leaving for the promotion, Logan Anthony has one last match in store for the trouble maker!

Triple Threat Match

B-Boy (with Eddie Kingston) vs. Nick Dinsmore (with Rob Conway) vs. Jerry Lynn (with Scorpio)

The tag team champion in Lynn and Scorpio have had a string of bad luck as of late, with Lynn losing a singles match vs. Eddie Kingston last week, and also Scorpio losing a match to Rob Conway. Now, it’s going to be a triple threat match, where all three of their tag teams in their respective corners.

Tag Team Match

The Miz and Kid Kash vs. Bryan Danielson and Cheerleader Melissa

There is only one word that describes this match up, “Revenge”. At Living Dangerously, both Cheerleader Melissa and Bryan Danielson both got “screwed” over after poor officiating and resulting in a cheap loss to The Miz and Kid Kash. So Logan Anthony decided that both Melissa and Danielson should get a shot as a tag team.

"A-Double" Austin Aries vs. Little Spike Dudley

So Aries makes his long awaited debut in ECW! Aries was one of the heavily hyped “Honor’s Dozen”, having huge accolades in the “other” promotion being a World Champion and a Tag Team champion, but first he has to go thru ECW’s resident “Giant Killer”, Spike Dudley! Will Spike live up to his namesake, or will “A Double” make the impact that people have been expecting since coming to ECW?

Jimmy Rave vs. Black Tiger

Speaking of the “Honor’s Dozen”, Jimmy Rave will be also making his debut in the promotion! The former alumnus of the stable “the Embassy”, Rave will have a chance to make a name for him and stand alone, and his first test will be against none other than Black Tiger!!

LAST MAN STANDING!!!

Sabu w/Bill Alfonso vs. “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown

Both Sabu and Brown tore down the house and literally almost KILLED each other at Living Dangerously in the falls count anywhere match, where Brown did the Alpha Bomb and both him and Sabu crashed into the crowd below! Miraculously, none of them died, but with the series tied at 1, there is one way to settle this, in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!

The Damaja vs. “The Whole F’n Show” Rob Van Dam w/Bill Alfonso

The Damaja has had a “newfound” sense of purpose as of late and is going the route that his former tag team partner, Tyler Douglas is taking. He’s not waiting for anything to be handed to him, and who’s a bigger target, other than “Mr. Pay per View”, Rob Van Dam! Fresh off of his win over Carlito last week, RVD has no problem taking on all comers. Will Damaja shock the ECW wrestling world and have another victory, or RVD just make an example out of Damaja?

ECW T.V. Title Match

Rico Dinero w/Teddy Long © vs. “The Insane Luchadore” Super Crazy

Dinero made history by winning the T.V. title in his first night at Living Dangerously, by winning a ladder match, but that wasn’t the only way he made his presence felt. He also cost his rival (and the one that people felt SHOULD HAVE been T.V. champion), Shane Helms not only the victory at Living Dangerously, but he also interfered in the #1 Contender match between himself, Crazy and Guererro. Now, it’s going to be Crazy vs. Dinero for the ECW T.V. Title!

“Knock out or Punk Out” Match!

Carlito Colon vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri w/Dawn Marie

This feud between these men has been going for well over a month, with Tajiri defeating Carlito back in Extreme Measures, episode III. Then Carlito asked for a rematch with Tajiri in a best of 3 falls at Living Dangerously. In a questionable ending, with Dawn Marie being involved, which Carlito won the match. In episode V, Tajiri didn’t take that loss to well, and wound give giving RVD an assist in his match with Carlito, by spraying “Black Mist” in Carlito’s eyes. Now this battle will come to a head, this will be a slightly different version of an “I quit match”, because to win the match, you either have to make your opponent not answer a 10 count or beat them to the point that they quit the match!

And the MAIN EVENT!!!

“The Miami MVP” Antonio Banks w/Teddy Long vs. “The Outlaw” Tyler Douglas

Last week was a shocking ending to the Douglas vs. Finlay match! Everyone expected that Tommy Dreamer would be there to get some sort of revenge against Douglas, due to his actions against Beulah at Living Dangerously, but that was not the case. It also wasn’t shocking that Douglas almost won the match and the ECW Heavyweight Title, but due to the fact who helped Finlay won, which was none other than Finlay’s most hated rival, Antonio Banks! Banks and Finlay has been spilling blood, sweat and tears from a war that started at ECW’s Guilty as Charged! Now Banks has to face the man who he cost the victory, Tyler Douglas!! And there will be a special stipulation in this match, since Banks cost Douglas the victory at Finlay’s title, Banks’ rematch clause vs. Finlay at Barely Legal will be on the line!

All this and so much more on a special 3 hour edition of Extreme Measures: Episode VI “Hostile Intent”

“The Insane Luchador” Super Crazy def. Matt “M-Dogg 20” Cross.

Super Crazy was supposed to be facing Rico Dinero for the T.V. Title, but he was suffering from SEVERE exhaustion, and the match was postponed until next week. However, he took on one of the former “Honor’s Dozen” in Matt Cross. Cross was not push over though, and he showed the crowd that he truly BELONGED in ECW. He did a couple of high risks gymnastic moves to throw the luchadore off balance, and he almost pulled an upset on Crazy, but Cross tried to hit the Corkscrew 450, but Crazy moved out of the way and took advantage and hit the Crazy Bomb for the win.

Rating: 65

Extreme Measures, Episode V: “Hostile Intent”

Venue: The NEW House of Hardcore

Attendence: 20,533</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Synopsis: ECW had a surprise for everyone that tuning in at the show, normally the venue would be Madison Square Garden, but not this time. This time from now on, the new venue is exclusive to ECW and it is named the “NEW HOUSE OF HARDCORE!” Everyone in the internet world was expecting for this venue to be done at the end of the month, but once again, the team of Anthony and Heyman thru a curve ball at everyone and thrown the wrestling world off balance once again! That is the reason why the show tonight is a special 3 hour long show.

<O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Mr. Ray-tings Ray Gonzales vs ???</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Gonzales was playing the heel role big time, since everyone knew that he was leaving and this was his final show. He got on the microphone and pretty much told whoever that he was going to come out, he was NOT going to job to him, and it didn’t matter who it was. Then “When the Music Stops” by D-12 came out and it was none other than the infamous…..TEDDY HART! Hart was not intimidated and he took it Gonzales, and for the first time and probably a long time, he was getting cheered! Hart was coming out looking VERY strong in the match, and the finish came when Gonzales tried for the TKO, but Hart countered into a DDT! Then he went and delivered the “Stu Hart Special” (Gory Special into a Powerbomb) and then went up top and delivered a picture perfect “Triple Bypass” (Shooting Star Legdrop) for the win. </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Teddy Hart

Rating: 64</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">-Note: Gonzales and Hart do not have chemistry, which made for an awkward bout.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">“The Trendsetter” Josh Abercrombie vs James Gibson</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">This was a very solid opener for the two men, and both men were evenly matched. Abercrombie took to the air mostly, while Gibson concentrated on the ground, even though he can take to the air. Abercrombie to it to Gibson very early in the match, doing his secondary finisher, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abercrombie_%26_Fitch" rel="external nofollow">Abercrombie 'N Flinch</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutter_(professional_wrestling)#Rolling_cutter" rel="external nofollow">Rolling cutter</a>), and then tried to put him away with a Corkscrew 450 Splash, but at the last moment, Gibson moved out of the way and hit a devastating Tiger Driver on him! He didn’t go for the pinfall however, he locked in a Modified “Dragon Sleeper” to cause Abercrombie to pass out for the victory.<O:p</O:p</div>

RVD is cutting a promo against Damaja, saying that he didn’t understand why everyone thought that he was such a push over? Carlito had made the same mistake against him last week (even though he didn’t mention the assist from Tajiri). He said that if Damaja wants to be made famous, hes going to get his wish when he goes up against…Rob….Van…..DAM!!!<O:p</O:p

<div style="text-align:center;">Stretcher Match<O:p</O:p

Sabu w/Bill Alfonso vs “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><O:p</O:p

This match was pretty much a continuation from the last man standing match in Living Dangerously last month! It was speculation going around if he was going to re-sign with ECW or if this was going to be his last match with the promotion for a while. When the bell rang, no one really seemed to care about the controversy going on with Brown and the promotion! Like last month the match went everywhere, and Brown seem like he was going to shock everyone when he hit moves like the Pounce thru the table in the corner and he even did the Alpha Bomb on Sabu on the stretcher! It looked like Brown was going to win this one, when he strapped down Sabu and was going to wheel him to the ambulance, but Fonzie hit Brown with a chair, which did little other than upset him, which resulted in Brown attacking Fonzie! Sabu got out of the Stretcher and used the distraction that Fonzie provided and used EVERY weapon he could get his hands on. The finish of the match was when he delievered multiple chair shots on Brown to the point that he had Brown on the gurney busted open, but he didn’t wheel him all the way into the Ambulance! He put a chair over Brown’s face, grabbed another chair and delivered a SICK ARABIAN FACEBUSTER onto Brown prompting a HOLY SH*T chant! That took so much out of Sabu, that Fonzie wound up helping Sabu pushing the Stretcher into the Ambulance for the win! After the match, Brown came back into the ring and broke character, shaking his former teacher’s hand, confirming that he was leaving ECW. The crowd applauded Brown as he said his “goodbye”…<O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Black Tiger vs Jimmy Rave</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><O:p</O:p

Jimmy Rave came down to the crowd and started to heat up the crowd with his heel tactics early! He even had the audacity to wear a ROH t-shirt to the match! That alone almost started a riot! When he got to the ring, Tiger tried to be a good sport and shake his hand, but Rave spat in his face and gave him the finger! Rave then slapped him for good measure and thus the match began! Rave was playing up his heel tactics to perfection, doing things like low blows and hiding behind the referee, old school heel tactics! The finish came when Rave tried to do the Spear on Tiger in the corner, but in the last moment, Tiger played possum and hit him with a nasty boot to the face! Then he executed the Black Tiger Powerbomb, off the turnbuckle for the pinfall! There was some controversy however, where the replay showed that Rave foot was actually UNDER the ropes, but the referee would not reverse the decision!<O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">“A-Double” Austin Aries vs Little Spike Dudley </div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><O:p</O:p

Aries got on the microphone and berated the ECW management for booking him against a “substandard” opponent in Spike Dudley. He said that with his previous accolades, he should have an instant title shot! Spike too exception to this and went after Aries immediately! However that offense would fall short, because Aries was bigger, stronger and technically sound! He started to make Dudley suffer with moves like the Death Valley Driver on the apron, and the Pendulum Elbow and even a Frog Splash! Each time Aries would have a chance to pin Dudley, he would let him up to take more punishment! However, this would be his downfall, because when Aries tried to deliver one of his finishers, the “Brainbuster”, Dudley fought out of it and countered it, and hit the Acid Drop out of NOWHERE, for the win! Afterward, Aries couldn’t believe it, and he viciously attacked Dudley! He destroyed Spike with 3 Brainbusters on to a chair, and a 450 Splash for good measure!<O:p</O:p</div>

“Bring it…”

<O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Antonio Banks is backstage with Teddy Long and Thomas Campbell cutting a scathing promo against his opponent tonight, Tyler Douglas tonight. Campbell came out with the hard question, why did he attack Douglas on behalf of his nemesis, Dave Finlay? He said that its personal between Finlay and him, and that title is his. Now whats going on between Douglas and him was just “wrong place, wrong time” but at the same time, he isnt impressed with Douglas, and when Campbell asked Banks about Douglas’s victory over Dreamer, he responds “And I am supposed to be impressed with that? HELL I BEAT DREAMER, WHATS YOUR POINT?” He concludes by saying “Bring who ever you wanna bring Douglas! If you can find him, you can bring SHANE DOUGLAS, ANDY DOUGLAS OR EVEN MICHEAL DOUGLAS!!! It don’t matter and it aint gonna change a DAMN thing!!” <O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">“The Miami MVP” Antonio Banks vs “The Outlaw” Tyler Douglas<O:p</O:p

#1 Contenders Match</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><O:p</O:p

Before the match began, the ECW Heavyweight Champion, Dave Finlay! He said that he wanted to get a real “close” look on who he would be facing at “BARELY LEGAL!”Banks came in the “less hated” of the two. He even did something that no one would expect, he sent his manager, Teddy Long to the back, saying that he didnt need him out there! Both men took it too each other and left nothing behind! The Outlaw lived up to his name when he hit a blatant low blow on Banks! Banks returned the favor and hit the “Drive By Kick” on Outlaw, while he was against the turnbuckle post outside the ring! After that, Banks actually had taken focus off of Douglas, and started to Argue with Finlay! Douglas took advantage and attacked Banks! He then took him back into the ring and hit the “D.O.A.” on Banks! But he got his foot on the ropes. Douglas was going to do the ultimate act of disrespect, and do the “Dreamer Driver”, Tommy Dreamer’s finisher, but then “Man in the Box” by Alice In Chains, began to play! Douglas was in the ramp way looking for Dreamer, but he came thru the crowd wearing a long dark haired wig! He came into the ring with a chair and delievered the Dreamer DDT on the chair! Dreamer then flipped Douglas the bird and mouthed the words “for Beulah”... and looked at Banks and walked out of the ring! Banks got up and looked at Finlay and pointed at him, and finished off Douglas with the “SPINESPLITTA” Piledriver on the chair for the win!<O:p</O:p</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">B-Boy (w/ Eddie Kingston) vs Jerry Lynn (w/ Scorpio) vs Nick Dinsmore (w/Rob Conway and Don Callis)</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><O:p</O:p

To say that this match was chaos, was an understatement, but amiss the chaos, these three men put on a beautiful matchup! It was anyone’s match and for their tag team partners you KNEW it was going to chaos! And it was the stiff Japanese style of B-Boy vs. the technical prowess of Nick Dinsmore vs the all out high flying machine of Jerry Lynn! The finish came when all of the tag team partner of the men in the ring got involved at in one way or another, and it was impossible to contain them! Kingston got involved in his partners behalf and hit the “Backfist to the future” on Dinsmore, after he hit a vicious DDT on his partner, B-Boy. Conway hit the “Whiplash” on Kingston taking him out of the ring! Lynn then hit the TKO on B-Boy, and signaled for his tag team partner, Scorpio to take advantage of the Chaos and hit the “450 Splash” on Kingston and got out of the ring! But what Lynn didnt realize is that Dinsmore came up from behind and hit a BEAUTIFUL German Suplex with a bridge on Lynn for the win! Afterwards all 3 teams start to brawl thru the ring!

<div style="text-align:center;">“American Dragon” Bryan Danielson and Cheerleader Melissa vs The Miz and Kid Kash</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">This has been brewing for weeks, with both Miz and Kash “stealing” victories from their opponents at Living Dangerously! When the heels came into the ring, Danielson wastes little time against Miz and took him outside the ring, in fact they were brawling thru the crowd the first part of the match! Melissa and Kash however was a different story. Kash actually got on the microphone and said that he WASN’T going to fight her. Melissa however wasn’t having that, and took it to Kash real early, and started doing stiff moves like knife edge chops, and the Curb Stomp! Right after she did the Curb Stomp on Kash, Miz came in and started to attack her! Miz had no problem attacking her, even going so far as to SUPERKICK her in the face! Then it wound up being a 2 on 1 advantage as both Miz and Kash would attack her! Surprisingly, Melissa held her own against both men! She even took the “Mizard of Oz” neckbreaker, but she kicked out! Then Kash wound up and hit the “Money Maker” double underhook piledriver on Melissa, but before he could pin her, a bloody Danielson came back in to the ring and took on both Miz and Kash! He leveled Miz with a Roaring Elbow and a Shining Wizard variation kick on Kash! The finish came when Danielson tried to take on both Kash and Danielson! Danielson did a Back Body Drop to Kash on the outside, but that set up for Miz to hit the “Skullcrushing Finale” on Danielson! I guess Melissa got her second wind, as she hit her version of the running boot! And then shockingly she picked up Miz and executed the “HIGH SPIRITS” (Kudoh Driver), pinning Miz!</div>

All of a sudden we have an interruption in the show, its none other than Chavo Guererro Jr. </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Chavo: “You know, when I came to ECW, I wanted to make a name for myself. Like my Uncle Eddie did! I have came from a wrestling lineage! Now look at me. I have been nothing more than a “glorified” jobber! I mean its so sad here that I can’t even get a damn match with a “nobody” like Sterling James Kennan! I mean I am not even good enough to fight a JOBBER??? What is this place REDUCED TO?”</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Before Chavo could go any further talking down about the company, the song “Skipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphys beging to play. And its none other than Dave Finlay!</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Finlay: “Look Lad, I know you are frustrated, and believe me I know about you. And your family! And I was friends with your uncle, god bless his soul! You come out here trying to get sympathy from everyone because you cant get a match tonight, and I know that your Uncle definitely wouldn’t want to hear you talking down about yourself. So I have an idea, since you come out talking about opportunities and “shots” and chances, the way I see it, I don’t have a match tonight, and your in your wrestling gear, yet you don’t have a match tonight either! So why don’t you and I have a match tonight for not only for the fans that are here, and the ones “up there”. (Finlay starts to point to the sky). Oh. In case your wondering, the title IS on the LINE! So someone get me a referee out here!!” </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">ECW Heavyweight Title Match

“The Belfast Brawler” Dave Finlay vs “The Latino Legacy” Chavo Guererro </div>

<div style="text-align:center;">This crowd was definitely feeling this match, especially from the heartfelt promo that Finlay delivered about Chavo’s uncle, Eddie. Finlay went to shake Chavo’s hand, but Chavo wound up slapping him in the face! Finlay smiled and he was ready to go! Chavo was quicker than the grizzled veteran, hitting such moves as the Springboard Senton and the Tornado DDT! He then went “Extreme” and started to bring a chair in the ring and did the “Three Amigos”, the third one being on the chair! But Finlay gave as good as he got, delivering stiff knife edge chops and doing such moves as the “Rolling Firemans Carry” and the Running Knee Lift. The match was evenly matched between these two men, but the finish of the match came when Chavo hit the “Brainbuster” on the chair! He then went up to the top and hit the “Ode to Eddie” Frog Splash on Finlay, but Finlay kicked out at the last possible SPLIT SECOND! Chavo at this point is getting frustrated at this point, because that Frog Splash took a lot of out Chavo! So Chavo goes out of the ring and sets up the table in the middle of the ring and puts a folded chair over Finlay’s body. Finlay starts to muster up some strength and goes after Chavo! Finlay and Chavo begin to fight on the top turnbuckle but then Finlay hit the “Tombstone Piledriver” off of the top rope and thru the table, getting a huge HOLY SH*T chant from the fans! With his last bit of strength Finlay was able to pin Chavo! After the match Finlay went to shake Chavo’s hand, but again Chavo refused it, and he hugged Finlay instead! The crowd started beginning chants of “that was AWESOME!!” and “Eddie, Eddie!!”</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Rob Van Dam came out with his same confident persona, but the Damaja was appearing to be all business! Damaja started to work on Van Dam neck early on in the match, but RVD being resilient as he is, he took Damaja to his limits, executing the Split Legged Moonsault and the Rolling Thunder! But on a night of shocking events, this was no exception. Damaja was looking dangerous and very impressive in his match with RVD, he hit RVD with a Full Nelson Slam and a Belly to Back Slam, further working on RVD’s neck. The finish of the match was that RVD tried to hit the Van Daminator which Damaja ducked and Damaja hit a “questionable” low kick (which looked like a low blow), and that opened RVD up for the Brain Damage (Brain Buster) and the Brain Damage 2.0 (Choke Bomb), both on the chair for the surprising win!</div>

“Knock out or Punk Out’ Match

Yoshihiro Tajiri w/Dawn Marie vs Carlito Colon</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">The object of this match was to either knock out your opponent to the point that they cannot answer the 10 count from the referee, or if they tell the referee that they “quit!” With the feud both of these men have been having, with this being Carlito’s last match he definitely went out with a bang! Carlito did such moves as the “Carlito’s Way” (Snapmare Driver) and the Springboard Moonsault, onto the outside of the ring! Tajiri did his damage to Carlito as well, by locking him in the Tarantula, and since there were no disqualifications he had it locked in to the point that Carlito didn’t answer the 10 count when Tajiri released the hold! Tajiri wanted to finish him off with a moonsault with a chair over his face from the top rope, but Carlito was playing possum and wound up hitting the “Backstabber” off the top Rope! During the end of the match, Dawn Marie wound up making her presence felt again like she did at Living Dangerously! Carlito drug her into the ring and he saw Tajiri about to strike him with the mist….or so he thought, he wound up “spraying her” with regular water, unaffecting her vision! When Carlito turned around, he actually did get sprayed with the “Black Mist!” blinding Carlito! And then he did the Trifecta! He did a Brain Buster, then he did the Buzzsaw Kick! And then he decided to go truly extreme, and he put Carlito’s head in between two chairs and delievers a “M. Bison Stomp” off of the top rope knocking Carlito out! A bloody Carlito could not answer the 10 count, which Tajiri wins the match and the fued!!

<div style="text-align:center;">“Surprise Attack, Part 1” </div>

"The best punch, is the one that you don’t see coming.”

Unknown

Week 3, Monday Afternoon. 3 days after Extreme Measures VI, 2:52 pm.

Synopsis: At Logan Anthony’s apartment, Anthony is relaxing after a seemingly stressful week, dealing with the imminent departure with 2 of his big names, (and one nuisance). He decided to call the staff meeting at his place instead, clearing it thru his partner, Paul Heyman, of course. One by one, the staff members showed up at his place. Anthony’s personal assistant, Sophie was the first one there, then Heyman then Dreamer, Le Grizzly and Piper.

Anthony: “Ok, I thank everyone for showing up at my place instead of the office. I think we need a little bit of a break instead of a “semi professional” nature that we have been doing. Paul is there anything you would like to put out first before we start?”

Paul, still seated begins to address the staff.

Paul: First off, I would like to thank you for that brilliant idea to speed up the time it would take to finish up the “NEW House of Hardcore” arena!

A semi-annoyed Marc Le Grizzly interjects.

Marc: “Yeah about that, why wasn’t we notify about the venue change until 6 HOURS before the show started?”

Anthony begins to stand up and begins to explain his actions.

Anthony: “You know what Marc, your absolutely right. But that wasn’t Paul’s call. IT WAS MINE! I wanted to do a pre-emptive strike against the competition! Now granted, only 3 people knew about the venue change. Sophie, Paul, and myself, that’s it. Granted, it was a gambit and guess what, it PAID OFF!”

Marc: Oh really? How so?

Anthony: 2 reasons. One, The venue costs roughly $750,000 to build and set up, would anyone like to know how much we made Saturday? Sophie?”

Sophie: “$1,135,000, roughly”

Anthony: “That’s right. We not only covered the cost of building that venue in one night, but we got some extra money in the mean time. And that was just ONE SHOW!”

Marc: Ok, and what’s the other reason?

Anthony walks over to his TV and cuts it on and sets up his TiVo.

Anthony: “This was ROH’s pay per view “Unified”, it started a few hours after us. Now, pay close attention to various parts of the show!”

After seeing various segments, especially the Dean Malenko vs. Brent Albright match, where Malenko won the Pure title, the crowd was chanting “ECW, ECW’ thru majority of the show!

Dreamer and Heyman have a smile on his face, while Piper and Le Grizzly looked indifferent.

Piper: “Ok, so the fans were chanting our promotion, so what?”

Marc: “Yeah, and how do we know we didn’t ‘plant’ some guys in there”?

Anthony, starts to take a swing of his protein drink.

Anthony: “To address you Mr. Piper, your right, it’s one thing if the fans were chanting it, at certain spots at the show, especially when Malenko won the Pure Title. But what you DON’T realize is that for 47 minutes during 3 different times of the show, the fans chanted ECW! They even drowned out the ROH chants! Now I don’t know about you, but I would be embarrassed about having another promotion, especially one that EVERYONE KNOWS that you at war with. Basically we have made a statement.

Piper: “And about the plants?”

Anthony: “Ask me no questions, I tell you no lies. But let’s be real with each other, you may not like my tactics or my resolve, but let’s face the facts. WE ARE IN A WAR! And not with one promotion, but MULTIPLE PROMOTIONS! Don’t believe me? Ask Carlito, Brown and Gonzales! If we are to survive, we have to be more vicious and ruthless than our rivals! And if that means “allegedly” putting some plants in a ROH pay per view, or talk [beep] about WCW, or anything of that nature, believe me I WILL DO IT! I signed some of the “Honor Dozen” for the same reason that Vince (McMahon) signed Eddie Guererro, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko just 24 hours after they were released from WCW! Because one man’s trash is another’s treasure, and I am going to make people realize that if make a mistake with me, I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT!”

After Anthony’s rant, the room stood eerily silent, even Paul Heyman was not only shocked what he just witnessed, he was amazed that his protégé was learning the ways of the Wrestling Business, and in essence, Anthony was BECOMING Heyman.

Anthony: “Now if anyone does not agree with how I do things, you are welcome to LEAVE. With respect to Paul.”

Not one person stood up. Even Marc and Piper stood there and respected Anthony’s “leadership”.

Anthony: “You may think that I am cold blooded and heartless, but trust me when I say this. ECW will be more successful than it has ever been, and promotions like ROH, TNA, WCW and EVEN WWE. Will shudder with fear and terror when they hear the letters ‘E.C.W.’ Now moving on, Piper, Marc anything going on in the “backstage area”?”

Piper: “Nick Dinsmore failed a Drug Test, his toxicity screen showed that there were some hard drugs in his system, it was taken right after the show on Saturday.”

Anthony: “Heyman, this is your call, what do you want to do?”

Heyman: “Well the 3 Strikes rule is in place, so we are going to let him know what’s what. If this occurs again in 90 days, he’s fined. 3rd time, he’s gone.

Anthony: “What about his push in the triple threat tag team? Is that going to affect it?”

Marc: “Honestly, let’s see how he takes the riot act and a random future drug test. If he fails, then we can take him and Conway out of the tag title contention. Because to be honest, I think it’s time to drop the titles from Scorpio and Lynn.”

Anthony: “Ok, I agree. Sophie, what’s the deal with worker position statues and resigning?”

Sophie: “Trent Acid is meeting with me tomorrow to resign with the promotion with a Pay per Appearance contract. Also we signed a manager to be “aligned” with the Backseat Boyz, per your request.

Heyman: “Who?”

Anthony: “Don Bucci”

Heyman: “Why does that name sound familiar?”

Anthony: “It should be VERY familiar. Its Nova’s twin brother, he used to manage the Boyz back in the independents back in the day. Lets juts say I have done my homework. And plus Trent and Johnny (Kashmere) spoke highly of them. At the very least I can do is give him a shot.”

Heyman: “Ok, I don’t have a problem with that. So you were thinking about pushing them too?”

Anthony: “Honestly yes. I apologize to you both Paul and Marc. But I wanted to try them out and be possible Tag Team contenders. I mean they have experience, but above all, they ARE LOYAL. Some guys here are going to abandon us like rats on a sinking ship. And let’s be real with each other. I want to send a message. ‘If you stick with us, you WILL be rewarded”. I mean look at Melissa, she got a pinfall victory over the “Miz!” So she could be a T.V. Title contender in the future! I am going to say this and we are going to close this meeting if anyone else doesn’t have anything. We have to look at ourselves as an INDY promotion, trying to survive the big time. I told you guys when we started this that we were going to make enemies (if we already didn’t have them) and that we going to get noticed. And guess what? We are GETTING NOTICED! Carlito, Gonzales and Brown weren’t even taken by the big 4! They signed PPA contracts and left on their own free will! They could have stayed! Now, what do you think is going to happen when WWE, WCW or TNA comes snooping? They are NOT going to sign our guys to PPA contracts. They are going to sign them to written contracts and keep them away from us for months if not YEARS! And I know this for a fact, because it’s the EXACT same thing I would do….”

Suddenly the phone rings in Anthony’s living room. The call is from Gabe Sapolsky.

Anthony: “Hello, Logan Anthony speaking..”

Gabe: “Well, if it isn’t the infamous Logan Anthony. I am Gabe Sapolsky, head booker of Ring of Honor, but of course you know who WE are, when you sent those “plants” at our PPV Saturday. I must say that Paul is rubbing off on you. Coming from a Former Protege of his.”

Anthony: “Mr. Sapolsky, am I saying it right? Well, I have no idea what you are talking about, and further more that is disrespectful, if not LIBELOUS for you to throw accusations like that, and CLEARLY you have no proof! I mean it isn’t my fault that the fans PREFER ECW over ROH! I mean they made it EXTREMELY vocal at your show. Pardon the pun.”

Gabe: “Well regardless, if you put the plants there or not. We do agree on one thing, since the fans clearly know what they ‘want’, they will be seeing that in Ring of Honor VERY SOON! Have a nice day Mr. Anthony”

Gabe hangs up the phone, and everyone starts to look at each other. Sophie hears her PDA Phone vibrating…and she sees some horrifying news.

Sophie: “Ummm, Anthony, Paul, GUYS!! ??You might want to see this!!!”

She goes to the Ring of Honor website and they all see the shocking headline and contents of that website.

“ROH NEWEST SIGNINGS!!!!

-Chavo Guererro Jr.

-James Gibson

-Mike “The Miz’ Mizanin

-Super Crazy

-Shad Gaspard

And Tyler Douglas !!!

As everyone looks at Anthony in the room in shocking silence, Anthony says the only words that come to mind. It’s the same words that come to mind, when someone pulls off an insane move at one of the ECW shows…..

Anthony : “HOLY ……SH*T!!!!!”

To Be Continued.

<div style="text-align:center;">Surprise Attack, Part 2

“Recovery and Retaliation” </div>

Story so far: Ring of Honor caused a huge blow for ECW, taking 6 of their key players, 2 Midcarders, 2 Upper Midcarder, and 2 Main Eventers were signed to ROH. There was an emergency meeting called by the usual players, Paul Heyman, Sophie, Tommy Dreamer and Marc LeGrizzly and Roddy Piper. The meeting had entered the early hours of the morning, and they still haven’t figured out what they are going to do about not only Extreme Measures, episode 7, but about the Barely Legal pay per view which was a little over a week. Paul was a wreck, he was experiencing déjà vu, and he was a complete and total mess, so his partner, Logan Anthony called him a cab and sent him home. Once again, Anthony had to take charge. He suddenly turned back into an NCO (Non Commissioned Officer) like back in the days of old and took control on the chaotic situation. He walked back into his apartment to calm the chaos that was brewing.

Anthony: “EENNNOOOUUUGGHHH!!!!”

All of a sudden the room was quiet, as they looked at Anthony as if he had lost his mind and he went back to being a drill sergeant.

Anthony: “Look, this is EXACTLY what Silkin, Sapolsky and all those S.O.B.’s at Ring of Honor want right now! People we need to FOCUS!”

Marc: “And why are we listening to you? Where is Paul?”

Anthony’s rage just got turned to Marc LeGrizzly.

Anthony: “First of all, I am Logan Xavier Anthony, Co-Head Booker and 50% Owner and further more I AM YOUR BOSS! Now in case you speak SWAHILI basically it means that when Paul isn’t here, I am IN CHARGE! And when he is here, I am the one that pays your check! Now, one more insubordinate word, even a simple syllable not being used to bring some resolution to this problem, and you can JOIN THE 6 THAT ARE GOING TO RING OF HONOR! DO I MAKE MY SELF CLEAR MR. LE GRIZZLY?”

Marc sat in silence.

Anthony: “This means you can ‘speak’. “

Marc: “Yes sir.”

Anthony: “Anyone else? Now we need to plan and strategize, figure out the Who, what, where, when and why's of this situation occuring.”

Tommy: Why those 6? I mean I could understand Guererro being taken, but why the others?

Anthony: It’s quite simple. They took people who were already in feuds and they were getting over. For example, they took the Miz, because he was taking off on the Danielson feud he was working on. Gerrerro was doing a 4 way dance with Super Crazy for the ECW T.V. title, and Tyler Douglas, he was supposed to be groomed for the ECW Title! “

Sophie: But what about James Gibson? I mean he wasn’t in a feud with anyone…”

Anthony: True, but he was also a former ROH Champion. I guess it’s a form of balance to them, we sign a former ROH World Champion, and they take the guy on the roster who was a ROH Champion at one point. So basically they are doing a “tit for tat" against us.

Piper: Ok. Well it seems you were doing your homework, so what is your plan?

Anthony: “Well the plan is this, a couple of changes in hiring people. 1. We will not promise ANY TITLE REIGNS. That’s how we lost Crazy, Chavo and Douglas. So until we get National, no promised title reigns. 2. We are not going to sign anyone longer than 9 months. There is no point, due to the fact that guys are leaving like 2-3 months into their contract. Which brings me to another thing, the only way we can prevent this from happening, we have to make NATIONAL! So we can sign people to contract!”

Marc: “Ok that sounds like a nice plan and all, but how do we come about go about doing that?”

Dreamer: “We got to secure a TV deal, and very soon.”

Sophie: “Well the next time the network will be accepting TV show application is after Barely Legal.”

Anthony: “And speaking of Barely Legal, I have a plan. Since the guys who are leaving within 7 days are not going to be at the Barely Legal show, I was thinking, maybe we can push the show up! Instead of putting the show on Saturday at the end of the month, we can put the show on Wednesday. That way we can use them for the pay per view, and tie up any storyline that these guys are in.”

Marc: “Ok fearless leader, this plan sounds fine and good, but how do you expect to beat a powerhouse like ROH?”

Anthony: “In the Army, I’ve learned that wars are not one battle, but by MANY. Yes, ROH has won this round, and they gave a very hard blow, but don’t mean we are DOWN FOR THE COUNT! And we have an advantage that ROH, TNA, WWE, or WCW DOES NOT has.”

Marc: “And what's that?”

Anthony: “We are the UNDERDOGS! And the one thing about underdogs is that when you’re an Underdog, your unpredictable and most of all….DANGEROUS!”
