Rhino vs. Al Snow & Big Stevie Cool

 

now will head be at ring side? or will head be participating in the match?

 

I mean this is an important detail! is it 2 on 1 or 3 on 1? because you know if head is at ring side, it will interfere! the referee may need to send head to the back to make sure we get a fair handicap match. :D

 

as always looking forward to your post.

Well we all know Rhinos looking to get ahead in ECW so maybe he wants it to be 3 on 1.

Man, what can I say that hasn't already been said?

 

This thing is truly one of the great gems on these forums. Your skill at the slow build is unbelievable. The way everything intertwines and twists then bam smashes you over the head like a well delievered chair shot. I laugh now when I remember formerly saying that I just couldn't get into this adaptation of your vision. keef reminds me occassionally. LOL

 

 

Well done. Again.

Perhaps nothing but you can keep on saying what you're saying :D.

 

Seriously, though, it's always lovely to recieve positive feedback, especially from a bloke such as yourself. And this, by the way, is now one of my favourite analogies ever:

Awesome :p.

Yes, that's a mischievous one right there :rolleyes:.

 

Well done. Again.

 

Thank you. Again.

 

This goes out to everyone who reads this regularly (and particularly the old faithful - you know who you are). I really enjoy writing this stuff and the fact that you seem to as well makes it even cooler. So, thank you for tolerating my sporadic moments of insanity; it's much appreciated ;).

 

I was telling keefy t'other day that I now feel this diary has got it's own little hardcore following, just like ECW back in the day. Cheers, boys, you're as responsible for this as I am!

 

50,000 views FTW!

 

Sorry, couldn't resist :p.

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

 

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

Taz: Joey, my man, we had some damn huge news at Wrestlepalooza.

Joey: We certainly did Taz! I don't know which to concentrate on more; the fact that the first scheduled matches for the World Cup will commence tonight or one of the biggest signings in ECW history!

Taz: Yeah, he's a huge signing alright... massive, in more ways than one.

Joey: Ladies and gentlemen, we refer to this man cryptically quite delibratley. You see, this undisputed wrestling icon is so synonymous with a gimmick that he played for over fiteen years, a gimmick that is copyrighted by The Federation.

Taz: Yeah, and pleased though I am to have him here, Joey, you have to wonder if, smoke and special effects aside, this guy has what it takes to be so dominant here in ECW!

Joey: A good point, Taz. Superman wouldn't be half as impressive without his cape.

Taz: That's a pretty crappy analogy, Joey, but I do know what you mean.

Joey: Thanks, Taz. Do I get on your ass when you make a mistale calling a move or something?

Taz: First off, there ain't a move in the book that I don't know and, second, I wouldn't let you near my ass!

Joey: Jesus... you're worse than Gertner.

Taz laughs.

Joey: Actually, I take that back; no one's worse than Joel... Anyway, I am proud to announce that the first match of this evening is from Pool A of the World Cup... Team USA takes on the Sasuke World Order.

 

Team USA --------------------------------------------------------Sasuke World Order

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/USALynn.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/USAJBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/USAMBriscoe.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpg

Kurt Angle comes down on his crutches to cheer his team on.

And it appears he has picked quite the team.

The experience of teaming of the Briscoe brothers pays dividends, while Jerry Lynn's experience dictates the pace.

In the ninth minute, Oz comes charging in under Lucha Libre rules.

He runs straight into Jerry Lynn who upends him for the Cradle Piledriver.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

Chessman runs in to replace his partner but is quickly subdued by the veteran.

Before long, all hell breaks loose and any concept of legal men is forgotten.

In the chaos, Jay Briscoe hits a J-Driller on Oz.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

Match Rating: B-

 

Taz: So, the good ol' USA pick up the win.

Joey: ...and the bonus point for two straight falls.

 

After realising the second fall has occurred, an irate Sasuke and Chessman chase Oz to the back, his ineptitude clearly sparking their ire.

Meanwhile, Jerry Lynn and the Briscoe Boys exit the ring and celebrate with their coach to predictable chants of "USA!"

 

The World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the ring to a chorus of jeers.

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

 

Raven refrains from his usual snide remarks; he is clearly anxious.

 

Raven: I know that everybody is talking about ECW's new signing. I don't care. The fact is I am still the commissioner and what I say goes. So, in view of this and the fact that my Nest are all in a nearby medical facility... useless retards, I am giving myself the night off.

 

Joey: What?

Taz: That's bullsh*t!

 

The jeers continue.

 

Raven: Frankly, I couldn't give...

 

Raven is interrupted.

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

 

Heyman: Nice idea, champ, but there's a problem. You see, in my hand I have the template upon which all ECW contracts are drafted.

 

Raven: So?

 

Heyman: So, it says on this piece of paper that "ECW ownership and management withholds the right to terminate the contract of any active talent that does not fulfill his legal obligation to compete in the match in which he is booked".

 

Raven looks pissed.

 

Heyman: So, Raven, commissioner or not, while you hold that title you are still an active talent. That means you are legally forced to work in whatever match you're booked in. So, either you put yourself in a match or I will.

 

The crowd erupts.

 

Heyman: ...and I think we both know who I'd book you against!

 

The cheers get louder and a chant of "Taker" begins.

 

Joey: Haha, Paul E may not have complete control anymore but he's finding away to manipulate this "working arrangement" he has with Raven.

Taz: Yeah, and thank god for it!

 

Raven: I'm warning you, Heyman...

 

Heyman: What? What are you gonna do? There are about fifty guys in the back dying to kick your ass, at any given time I can open the cage door. You see, Raven, without your Nest, you're nothing!

 

Heyman goes bright red as he screams and spits into the microphone.

 

Heyman: In fact, YOU WERE ALWAYS NOTHING!

 

Raven looks shocked by Paul E's loss of composure.

 

Heyman: This is ECW, Raven: my vision; my dream and I'm sick of seeing you piss all over it! Rest assured, come Summer Assylum, you will not be the champion!

 

Joey: ...and that would truly be a blessing!

 

Heyman: And you know what, "champ"? Tonight, you've got Vito, one-on-one, non-title. Refuse and I'm sure the afore mentioned fifty-strong extremists will help me back up my decison!

 

Raven is stunned.

 

Heyman: The Iron Saints will be banned from ringside; likewise, should the Nest make a miraculous recovery, they too are banned from ringside. We'll finally see you in one-on-one action Raven... we'll finally see you for the pathetic, disgusting, immoral, cowardly wretch that you are. Burn in hell Raven! BURN IN HELL!

 

The chants of "Paul E" around the arena are literally deafening as the Chief Talent Official slams down his microphone and storms to the back.

 

Taz: Wow, Paul E's finally lost it!

Joey: And we might finally see Raven without that title come Summer Assylum!

 

England-----------------------------------------------------------India

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EnglandBurchill.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EnglandBulldog.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EnglandWilliams.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IndiaDutt.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IndiaHA.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IndiaHB.jpg

The two team captains, Steven Regal and Sabu, cheer on their sides from ringside.

 

Taz: Hey, Joey, I was meaning to ask... why is Sabu on the India squad? I though he came from Bombay, Michigan.

Joey: Oh he is. Bombay, India is just a play on kayfabe.

Taz: Hang on... I thought... never mind.

 

Either way, the Bombay native didn't picka great side.

Indeed, the Indians are little match for the experience and brilliance of a strong English side.

Paul Burchill scores the first fall on Headhunter A after a Franchiser.

Shortly after, Headhunter B falls prey to the Bulldog's Hanging Vertical Suplex.

"The New Franchise" follows up with a Standing Shooting Star Press and picks up his second pin.

Match Rating: C+

 

Joey: Wow, that's the second bonus point win of the night.

Taz: Yeah, but something tells me the next two matches will be a little more even.

 

Juvi Guerrera and Francine are backstage.

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

 

Juvi: He stole it, Franny. He f**king stole it from me!

 

Francine: Look, I know but...

 

Juvi: I should be the Television Champion! It should be me!

 

Francine takes Juvi by the hand.

 

Francine: Juvi, honey, listen. I'll have a talk with Paul E; he seems to be on some sort of righteous crusade. I'm sure he'll give you another shot.

 

Juvi nods.

 

Francine: And I wouldn't hang around if I didn't think you could win it now, would I?

 

Juvi: So, Franny...

 

Francine: Yeah?

 

Juvi: Why are you "hanging around"?

 

Francine pulls her hand away.

 

Francine: Err... I'll go and find Paul.

 

She walks out of the locker room, leaving Juvi shaking his head.

 

Puerto Rico--------------------------------------------------------Ireland

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PRChicano.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PRJeffrey.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PRApolo.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IrelandFinlay.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IrelandSheamus.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/IrelandVinny.jpg

The dynamics of this match are, perhaps, the most interesting.

Puerto Rico fields two flying crusierweights, in Chican and Jeff Jeffrey, and one massive powerhouse, Apolo.

Meanwhile, Ireland places an experienced technical veteran, Dave Finlay, with two rookie all rounders, Sheamus O'Shaunessy and Red Vinny.

The first fall goes to Ireland when SOS sets up Jeffrey for a Celtic (Death Valley) Driver and Red Vinny Leg Drops the Puerto Rican from his partners shoulders.

Vinny covers for three.

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

In the eighth minute, Apolo hits a Choke Bomb on Finlay.

The monster tags in Chicano who climbs onto the top rope.

Chicano jumps forward and performs a breathtaking Sommersault Legdrop from off Apolo's shoulders.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

Finally, in the thirteenth minute, "The Heretic" Red Vinny hits his signature Teardrop on Chicano.

Despite their efforts to interrup the fall, Apolo and Jeff Jeffrey are apprehended by the other Irishmen.

1...2...3

 

------

Fall 3

------

 

Match Rating: D

 

The Hardcore Innovators bump into Paul Heyman backstage.

Dreamer: Paul E, just the guy we're looking for.

 

Heyman shakes Tommy's hand.

 

Heyman: What can I do for you boys?

 

Cactus Jack: We want the Dudleys!

 

Heyman: I thought as much.

 

Dreamer: And we also want a rematch for the titles.

 

Heyman: I guessed that too. Here is the deal, gentlemen. The Dudley Boys want to make an impact and, like it or not, that seems like a great thing to me; they are the most successful team in ECW history. So, I'm gonna make a match between you two and the Dudleys. Whoever wins will become Number One Contenders to the gold.

 

Dreamer: Sounds great. When is the match?

 

Heyman: As soon as I can fit it in with the World Cup schedule.

 

Cactus Jack: Thanks, Paul E.

 

Heyman: My pleasure, boys.

Canada-----------------------------------------------------------Japan

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaBenoit-1.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaRoode.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JapanLyger.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JapanDragon.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JapanHayabusa.jpg

The final World Cup contest of the evening but the Japanese experience in teaming together is evident.

The first fall goes to the Canadians as Chris Benoit forces Hayabusa to tap to the Crossface.

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

By the eleventh minute, however, the Japanese have started to take control.

Ultimo Dragon hits a 450 Splash on Teddy Hart from off the shoulders of his partner, Jushin Lyger.

1...2...3!

 

Taz: Man, the action in these World Cup matches has been awesome!

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

Finally, in the sixteenth minute, Lyger hits a perfect Floatover Brainbuster Suplex on Bobby Roode.

This is enough for the pin.

 

------

Fall 3

------

 

Match Rating: C+

 

Joey: Wow, what a great match-up and, I have to say, it's great to see so many new, young faces in ECW! After that first round of competition the tables look like this:

Heyman: Hey guys, there's gonna be a number one contendership match between The Hardcore Innovators and The Dudleys. Whoever wins will get you at Summer Assylum.

 

RVD and Michaels look at each other.

 

RVD & Michaels: No sweat!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlSnow2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpg

The match starts with a brief staredown.

Suddenly, Stevie and Snow charge at Rhino.

Working together, they whip him to the ropes.

Rhino rebounds.

GORE! On both opponents at once!

The Man Beast covers Al Snow.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B-

 

Joey: Well that was...

Taz: ...different.

 

Rhino storms his way to the back, leaving his opponents to recover, which they eventually do.

Once on his feet, Al picks up a mic and his signature head from ringside.

 

Snow: Y'know, Stevie, we may have lost that match but I really appreciate your help anyway. It's along time since I've had a friend... a real friend.

 

Stevie smiles.

 

Snow: Listen, if you're willing to help me out again with this Rhino situation, I'd be really grateful. And, just as a way of saying thank you, I want to give you head!

 

Snow thrusts the mannequin at Stevie.

 

Stevie: Man, are you sure?

 

Snow: Oh, yes! I'm sure!

 

Stevie: You're sure you want to give me head?

 

Snow: Stevie, I really want to give you head!

 

Joey: Well, that's a very strange way of showing respect.

Joey is clearly oblivious; Taz is pissing himself.

 

Snow: Here, TAKE MY HEAD!

 

Stevie: I'd love to take your head, Al.

 

Richards takes head of Al Snow and the two men embrace as the entire audience seems to shift awkwardly in their seats.

 

Joey: Well, I guess that's nice. As a sign of respect and friendship, Al Snow just gave Stevie Richards head.

Taz continues to piss himself.

Joey: What?

Styles finally realises.

Joey: Oh, for crying out loud...

 

Non-Title Match

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

Vito comes out like a man posessed, clearly hell-bent on handing out vengeance to the man who injured his family so badly.

Before long, his sheer pace and tenacity has started to wear down the veteran champion as punch after punch is landed.

He boots the champion in the gut.

Vito Driver!

1...2...kickout!

 

Taz: Man, I admire Vito's will to win but Raven's one tough bastard; he ain't gonna put him away that easy!

Joey: S, you're not expecting Vito to win?

Taz: No, not really. I reckon he'll give Raven a good kicking but the champ knows what's what in a wrestling ring better than just about anyone.

 

Vito picks up the champion.

Another Vito Driver!

1...2...kickout!

The match continues in this vein, Vito putting all on the line in his quest for revenge.

However, by the eleventh minute, Raven starts to come back.

The champ hits a lowblow on his former follower.

 

Joey: Oh, come on...

 

Raven Effect!

1...2...kickout!

 

Joey: Wow.

Taz: Wow's right, Joey. I think Vito just earned his ECW stripes!

 

The youngster staggers his way up to standing as Raven reaches in to his jeans.

The champion pulls out a pair of brass knuckles and levels Vito.

 

Joey: Man, what sort of a stunt is that?!

 

1...2...

The lights cut out as the arena fans go crazy.

 

As they come back on, a giant figure holds Raven by the throat.

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

 

Chokelsam on the champion!

The giant figure then drags Vito on top of Raven.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A

 

Joey: OH MY GOD! Vito has a pinfall victory over the World Heavyweight Champion!

Taz: Hey, quiet, Joey... look.

 

The new signing is passed a microphone as he stands over the lifeless bodies.

 

New Signing: At Summer Assylum, Raven versus "The Soul Taker" Mark Calaway... for the World Heavyweight Championship!

i've been watching for a few months. Reading mainly through my cell phone. That's mainly why i hadn't posted a reply. I just wanted to say great job on the fed. I am doing a fed myself but it's not with TEW. I figured i'd wait for the 08 version. That is why my fed hasn't been posted here. My version is the WWE if of course booked by me. I loved one of your angles so much, i did what any wrestling promoter would do and pretty much stole the idea. However the WWE can't obviously be as edgy as your ECW so i had to tone it down to WWE standards. RVD and HBK are just fun to read in your fed, so i've been doing my best at the WWE version of them. I consider it my own way of paying thanks to you for making such a great fed for all of to read. I hope you don't mind, i am planning on having them being more dominant in the future. Right now they are kinda just messing around. Oh, and cause it's WWE, their named "The whole Damn Show" which is edgy if you ask me even for the WWE. I hope to post my fed here once i transport it to the 08 TEW. For now, i am posting on a different site. I know this is to much blabbing about not your fed, just wanted to tell you i think it's great and i am using 2 of my greatest performers to pay tribute to you and all the joy you've given us for so long. Thanks from the bottom of my heart,

P.S. Why haven't you brought the original bad guy to ECW? He has a survey for your fans i'm sure lol.

Austin back on top

 

by Dave Meltzer

 

The World Wrestling Federation is, most likely, still reeling from the loss of one of its top talents, The Undertaker (or, now more accuratley, "The Soul Taker"). However, the booking team wasted little time in bouncing back by, once again, handing the World Title to Steve Austin.

 

The Rattlesnake started his second reign in spectacular fashion, defeating Triple H at Vengeance in what was truly a fantastic main event. This goes to show that the "Federation's" roster is still stacked with capable talent and it seems the Sports Entertainment behemoth is not going down without a fight. If Vince McMahon and those under him are now sensible enough to finally push some of their younger stars such as Justin Credible, Matt Hardy and Rene Dupree into marquee positions, the wrestling war that, at the moment, seems to be going ECW's way could take a drastic turn!

Gertner: Yeah but cooler than that, Scotty, is that we're actually gonna hear Mark Calaway speak out on his coming to ECW.

Hudson: Well, we don't quite know that, Joel. While we are aware that the legend himself will be appearing on the first ever televised episode of the Bam Bam Exam, I don't think anyone's gonna persuade Taker on what to discuss; not even Bammer. I'm sure he'll say what he wants and nothing more.

Gertner: Well, either way, I think we're in for a historic moment.

Hudson: There we agree. Indeed, the gloves are off and all gimmicks have been put on the shelf; for the first time ever we will hear from the man himself rather than his scripted alter-ego!

 

Samoa------------------------------------------------------------Puerto Rico

Hudson: This should bring some interesting family dynamics to the table, Joel.

Gertner: How's that?

Hudson: Well, Eddie and Carly Colon on the Puerto Rican side are obviously brothers, while Ekmo, Anoai and Afa are three brothers representing Samoa.

 

It is the Samoan "brothers" who take the upper-hand first, employing a power-based game that nullifies Carly Colon's offence.

Eddie rolls out and his brother Eddie steps in.

However, he faces similar issues, Ekmo's sheer size posing many problems.

After several power moves, Ekmo picks up Eddie on his shoulders in an Electric Chair position.

Afa climbs to the top and hits a version of the Doomsday Device that sends Eddie crashing to the mat.

Anoai climbs up after his brother and finishes off the sequence with a Flying Splash.

 

The fans applaud an excellent tag team display.

 

Hudson: Ouch... talk about a human wrecking ball... he's 300+ pounds!

 

Ekmo covers for the pin.

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

Apolo enters for Puerto Rico and Afa charges with a Clothesline as his brothers exit.

The Samoan just bounces off, however, and it is clear that Apolo will not be overpowered so easily.

A fist fight ensues as the two heavyweights exchange blows.

Apolo eventually gains the upper-hand after a thumb to the eye and he goes on the attack.

After several minutes, Afa is able to escape the big Puerto Rican's clutches and roll out.

Anoai enters and charges.

However, he is stopped in his tracks by a back elbow.

Apolo picks up the Samoan in a Backbreaker position and turns to face his corner.

Carly Colon bounds up the turnbuckle and hits a Flying Legdrop that drives Anoai's back into his partner's knee.

Carly covers as Apolo exits.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

By the fourteenth minute, all competitors are in the ring.

The brawl between Carly and Afa spills to the outside.

After a lowblow, Carly sets up a table on the outside and places Afa on top.

Meanwhile, in the ring, Ekmo attempts a running clothesline on Apolo.

However, the Puerto Rican powerhouse lifts up the Samoan and throws him in a Back Body Drop.

This sends Ekmo flying over the top rope, onto his partner, Afa, and both Samoans go through the table.

 

"Holy Sh*t!"

 

Meanwhile, Eddie leaps onto Anoai's shoulders for a Hurricanrana.

Anoai catches him and is about to reverse it into a Powerbomb.

However, Carly re-enters with a Springboard Dropkick into the face of his own brother.

The force sends Eddie flying backwards, taking Anoai with him in the Rana.

Eddie hooks the leg.

1...2...3!

Fall 3

Match Rating: D+

 

Hudson: If that's what the future of ECW looks like, I have to say, I'm impressed!

 

AJ Styles is backstage for a shoot promo.

Styles: Hey, Juvi, I hear that you plan on challenging for my TV Title again at Summer Assylum. If it were me, I wouldn't bother... the result will be the same. And don't get any ideas in your head about me getting off lucky last time. You see, as far as wrestling goes, if the ref don't see it, it don't happen. That's the fundamental difference between you and me, man. We may both be gifted athletes but I have that winning mentality, that never-say-die attitude and you... don't. Face facts, Juvi, I'm better than you. Hell, I'm phenomenal!

 

Italy--------------------------------------------------------------Sasuke World Order

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ItalyGuido.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ItalyMamaluke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ItalySal.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoCuervo.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEscoria.jpg

The match starts with Tony Mamaluke and Espiritu as the legal men.

The two engage in a fast-paced technical display that lasts several minutes and involves their partners.

The first separation occurrs when Big Sal E Graziano enters.

Escoria charges and hits a Cross Body Drop.

However, he is caught quite easily by the big man, who promptly falls forward onto the face-painted luchadore.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

In the ninth minute, Cuervo hits a Tornado DDT on Mamaluke and makes the cover.

1...

Big Sal ambles his way in to break up the fall.

2...

Sal dives... Cuervo moves and Mamaluke feels the full force of his partner's ample form.

Again, Cuervo covers, this time for the fall as Guido looks on, horrified by his partners apparent retardedness.

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

As the final fall looks poised to go either way, the sWo receive a little outside help.

 

Oz emerges from under the ring with a chair.

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

 

The face-painted luchadore (well, the fourth face-painted luchadore) charges in, swinging steel.

Little Guido ducks and Oz clocks Espiritu squarely in the forehead.

Oz turns angrily and swings again.

Again, Guido ducks

Oz's chair swing connects with the top rope and the steel rebounds right back into his face.

Meanwhile, Tony Mamaluke puses his thumbs into Cuervo's eyes.

Blinded, Cuervo stumbles forward, grabbing hold of the nearest body, which happens to be Oz.

He DDT's his fellow member of the sWo.

Guido makes the cover on Oz.

1...2...3!

 

------

Fall 3

Match Rating: C-

 

Gertner: Hang on, Oz wasn't even a part of the match!

Hudson: That's his fault for being out there then! I guess John Finnegan figures that if he's gonna get involved, he can take the fall.

 

After the sWo despondently head to the back, a huge figure emerges from the back.

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

 

Hudson: It's Bam Bam! The Beast From The East is here on Monday Night Revolution!

 

Bigelow, receives a huge cheer as he enters the ring.

 

Bam Bam: Man, I'm getting popular all of a sudden. Paul E called me up to do the draw at Wrestlepalooza and now I'm hosting an interview with "The Soul Taker".

 

The crowd pops at the mention of the name.

 

Bam Bam: Now, I could waste time on a whole lot of other stuff such as saying "check out Fonzie's APW on APW.com to see the future stars of ECW as called by The Beast From The East at the announce table". However, I'm not gonna do that.

 

Hudson: Clearly...

 

Bam Bam: What I am gonna do is bring out the man himself. Ladies and gentlmen, ECW's newest signing, a veteran of nearly twenty years and a five time world champion... albeit the inferior world championship... "The Soul Taker" Mark Calaway!

 

"The Soul Taker" emerges from the back in full biker attire.

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

 

Under his leather trenchcoat, he wears a shirt bearing the words "See no Evil! Hear No Evil! Speak No Evil" and has a steel biker's chain draped around his neck.

 

Hudson: Look at the size of him!

 

As Calaway strides his way towards the ring, ECW employees position two stools in the ring.

 

Bam Bam: Mister Calaway, please take a seat.

 

Bigelow offers his hand.

Calaway accepts his offer of a handshake, also taking his microphone.

 

Taker: The name's 'Taker but you can call me sir.

 

Bigelow laughs.

Taker speaks with a deadpan expression.

 

Taker: Is something funny?

 

Bigelow, sits down, clearly shocked as Calaway removes his trenchcoat.

This reveals the back of his t-shirt which reads "See me! Hear me! Respect me!"

 

Bam Bam: So, what brought you to Extreme Championship Wrestling?

 

Taker: What brought me here? Call it fate.

 

Bam Bam: Fate?

 

Taker: Vince McMahon forgot something very important: no matter how big the World Wrestling Federation is, Mark Calaway is bigger! I don't need the politics, I don't need the gimmick and I don't need the restraints and, now I'm in the land of extreme, you're gonna see what the Deadman is really capable of!

 

Again the crowd pops.

 

Bam Bam: As I understand it, you plan to challenge for Raven's World Title at Summer Assylum.

 

"The Soul Taker" gives Bigelow a sideways look.

 

Taker: That's where you're wrong. I'm not planning on anything; I know that, after Summer Assylum, I will be the new Extreme Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion!

 

Bigelow: That's one hell of a statement!

 

Taker: ...and I'm one hell of a man to back it up! The fact is, Bigelow that no one ca...

 

Mark Calaway is interrupted by the entrance of Chris Hero.

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

 

Hudson: What the hell does Chris Hero want?

 

Hero: Step aside, Bigelow, I want to give the man a "Hero's Welcome".

 

Hero sports the cheesiest grin you've ever seen as he says this.

Taker does not bat an eyelid.

 

Hero: Deadman, I represent the level that everyone aspires to around here. So, seeing as I'm ECW's biggest star, I thought I should welcome you personally.

 

Hero offers his hand.

Taker stands up, towering over Hero and removes his sunglasses.

 

Taker: Who the f**k are you?!

 

The crowd erupts as Hero looks genuinely insulted.

 

Hero: I'm Chris Hero, the saviour of E...

 

Taker: ...shut up!

 

Hero looks shocked.

 

Taker: I'd say only speak when spoken to but you're pissing me off just doing that! Now, listen up and listen good. Now that I'm here, I expect respect! You don't have to like me, you probably shouldn't make eye contact with me and f**k knows I'd prefer it if you didn't speak to me but you will respect me! Is that understood?

 

Hero nods and, again, offers his hand.

Calaway nods in approval and accepts the handshake.

However, Hero pulls his hand away and bursts into a fit of hysterics.

 

Taker: Ha, funny guy...

 

Taker grabs the youngster by the thoat and lifts him in the air with one hand.

He raises the microphone to his mouth with the other.

 

Taker: I wouldn't make that mistake again!

 

He drops Hero in a heap at his feet.

The brash rookie puts his hand to his throat, clearly choking.

However, after a few moment, he pulls himself together and stands up.

 

Hero: You want respect, Deadman? You're not worthy of my respect! And I'll prove it in a match tonight; you and me one-on-one.

 

Taker laughs.

 

Taker: It's your funeral!

 

Taker makes his exit to a huge ovation as Hero stands in the ring, looking pissed.

The Scottish team seem a capable group, White Tiger and Drew Galloway, particularly, put in good performances.

However, this one was never in doubt.

Christian pins Canyon for the first fall after an Unprettier.

Lance Storm makes Galloway tap to the Single Leg Crab for the second.

Match Rating: C-

 

Gertner: ...and we have our first bonus point win of the evening.

Hudson: Unfortunately for Scotland, I'm not sure that was ever in doubt.

 

The Hardcore Innovators are walking backstage as they are suddenly ambushed by The Dudley Boys.

The Dudleys lay into their rivals with steel chairs.

 

D-Von: You want us, huh?! Well, you got us!

 

Bubba Ray: Thou shalt not mess with the D...D...D..D.DD...D...

 

D-Von glares at his brother.

Bubba gives up.

 

Bubba Ray: ...us!

 

The assault continues as the camera cuts back to ringside.

 

Mexico------------------------------------------------------------England

This lives up to the highly competitive match that was expected, as the speed of Mexico meets the technicality of England.

Team captain, Steven Regal, picks up the first fall, forcing Psicosis to tap to the Regal stretch.

 

------

Fall 1

------

 

The second fall comes in the tenth minute.

Ricky Marvin stuns Nigel McGuinness with a dropkick and sits him in the corner.

He then places a chair across his face as Rey Mysterio Jr. leaps into the ring.

Marvin kneels down on all fours in front of the corner.

Mysterio runs, springboards of his partners back, performs a sommersault in mind-air for momentum and drives the chair into McGuinness' face with both feet.

Marvin covers for the pin.

 

------

Fall 2

------

 

The final fall occurs in the sixteenth minute.

Ricky Marvin hits a toprope Corkscrew Body Press on Regal.

Mysterio follows up with a Springboard Guillotine Legdrop and covers for the pin.

Fall 3

Vito: Raven, as of last week, I have a pinfall victory over the World Heavyweight Champion to my name. Well, let this be a warning... that was merely the beginning. You see, me sorella is still laying up in a hospital bed thanks to you and, where I come from, to hurt someone's family is the biggest slap in the face of all. I could handle the expectation, I could handle the constant insults and degradation, I could handle fighting your battles for you but there was one line you should never have crossed.

 

Vito grabs the camera in his hands and pulls it towards his face.

 

Vito: No one hurst my family and gets away with it! Tu comprende, bastardo? You will pay, you sunuvabitch, it's just a matter of time!

Steve Corino puts up a good fight but the interference from the Sinister Minister is enough to tip the balance.

Hatred finishes off the match with a Decapitator Lariat at 11:42

Stevie: Hey, Rhino, we may have lost to you last week but it ain't over... not by a long shot! You see, we're challenging you to a handicap match against the whole Blue World Order at Summer Assylum!

 

Hollywood Nova: Oh, whatcha gonna do, Daddy-o, when the Blue World Order Rumbles on you?!

 

Stevie: And, just so you know, Rhino, we've got two new members: your good friend BW Snow...

 

Al Snow grins.

 

Stevie: ...and the newly appointed Head of Bluecurity.

 

Al Snow lifts Head up and waves it around like a madman.

 

Da Blue Guy: See you at Summer Assylum, Chico.

 

Meanie chuckles as the camera cuts back to the ring.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Unsurprisingly, Calaway looks dominant and controls the mtach comfortably for the best part of ten minutes.

He wraps his biker chain around the top turnbuckle and then picks up Hero looking for the Snake Eyes.

However, Hero slips out the back and pushes the Deadman head first into the steel.

This clkearly stuns the big man and Hero goes on the attack.

He lands right after left and sends "The Soul Taker" staggering backwards until he is leaning against the ropes.

He then ducks out of the ring=, grabs a chair and re-enters.

He wraps the chair around Calaway's head with sickening force and the giant tumbles to the mat.

 

Gertner: Wow!

Hudson: Hero's coming back.

 

The youngster then struggles to drag the giant into the corner.

However, with a lot of effort he does so.

He then backs off and rebounds off the opposite set of ropes.

 

Hudson: Hero is looking for the Hero's Sidekick.

 

However, as the rookie raises his foot, Taker catches his leg.

The Deadman lifts up Hero's legs into powerbomb position.

He strides out of the corner...

Last Ride!

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B+

 

As taker collects his chain and raises his fist in the air, Hero staggers to his feet.

The youngster pulls himself up by Taker's shirt.

 

Hudson: Oh no... this could spell bad news for Hero!

 

Surprisingly, Taker helps the youngster up.

He nods in approval of Hero's performance and, this time, Taker offers a handshake.

Hero turns away.

Taker smiles and shakes his head in bewilderment.

As Hero goes to exit he is pulled back.

Chokeslam!

 

Hudson: Well, "The Soul Taker" made one hell of a statement here tonight!

Gertner: He certainly made an impression on Chris Hero, at least.

 

Mark Calaway leaves to a standing ovation.

 

Show Rating: B+

I love the way the world cup is shaping up.

 

And the way the way soul taker is still his usual bad-A self while completely distancing himself from his old persona by demanding respect is Awesome.

 

Keep up the great work. (as if your track record doesn't already speak for itself :p )
