fordc76 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Point is, I could have kept Raven around as a manager to the nest... maybe never even mention it: he shows up at every show but never actually wrestles. However, two things made it go this way: He could be hired by CM Punk as a consultant with nothing to do with ECW. Raven works for Punk NOT ECW.....could get around it by having him never appear in the buildings, maybe via Satelite link promo? Bit of a stretch but hey, if it helps get a few more people over with his promos....even just for a short while as he tries to find a leader for his nest/legacy. Who says it has to be Punk :-D.

Nevermore Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 From ECW.com Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers: AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg Two former World Television Champions square off in ECW's first match since the dawning of a new era. Juventud Guerrera may have been the man to walk away from the midcard chaos with the TV strap but both AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio Jr have a major point to prove. With this contest surely serving as a springboard for future title opportunities, neither man will want anything other than a victory. "Prototype" Andrew Martin vs. Masato Tanaka http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg In his second and final match back in ECW on talent trade, Masato Tanaka takes on everyone's favourite midcarder, Andrew Martin. Will the former World Champion leave on a high-note or will "The Prototype" score an upset? Masters of Pain Qualifier Chris Hero vs. Tommy Dreamer http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg In the second half of what is commonly dubbed "The Extreme Winter", the time of year when ECW's biggest pay-per-view and its biggest tournament occur in consecutive months, the Masters of Pain 2007 gets under way. In this qualifying match, "The Saviour of ECW", Chris Hero, takes on perennial fan favourite Tommy Dreamer. A reminder of the rules Over the course of December, eight qaulifying matches will take place. The winners of these matches will progress to the Masters of Pain pay-per-view, which hosts what is arguably the biggest singles tournament in world wrestling. This eight-man contest is the ultimate test of endurance as, not only are the matches true to the name of the event, all seven matches (4 Quarter-Finals, 2 Semi-Finals and the Final) occur on the same night. This, of course, means that the eventual winner of the tournament will have to win three matches in the same evening! As for the match stipulations living up to the title of the tournament, the name of this particular game certainly is pain. Victory can only be attained in one of three ways: Submission.Knockout (determined by a ten count).Forcing an admission of "I Quit" into the arena microphone upon one's opponent. Perhaps the most important stipulation of all, though, is that the eventual winner of the tournament earns a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at January's Got Blood? Dick Dudley Jr. vs. Slyk Tayshaun Dudley http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg The two Dudley cousins meet again for the return of "Slyk versus Dick". Dick Dudley Jr cost the militant STD the International All Action Championship at November To Remember while Slyk has made it his mission to beat the family secret out of his relatives. Will STD come any closer to this revelation or will he experience Total Penetration? ECW World Television Title Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg The Great Sasuke vs. Juventud Guerrera© http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpg November To Remember XV could not have finished better for Juventud Guerrera. He won the World Television Championship, his first title in ECW, as well as the heart of Francine. The tenacious luchadore has been on fire as of late, as proven by his title victory, and with "The Queen of Extreme" at his side, he may well be unstoppable. However, if one man is capable of stopping him it is surely the Japanese legend and former International All Action Champion, The Great Sasuke. Non-Title Match CM Punk vs. Paul Burchill http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg At November To Remember XV, "The New Franchise" Paul Burchill finally captured the World Heavyweight Championship from his former mentor and recent nemesis, Raven. Not only that but he drove the ECW legend out of the promotion. Never again will Raven be seen in an ECW ring. However, the former champion's protege is not going anywhere. CM Punk has claimed in an interview with ECW.com that Raven's Nest will live on and that he will ensure that the group continues to dominate despite the absence of its long-time leader. The first step towards proving this is taking out the very man who landed the Nest in such a quandry. That said, could there be any tougher opponent than "The New Franchise"? Plus... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Paul Heyman introduces the "Code of Diminishing Extremes" or, more simply, the "CoDE". It is rumoured that this will be a list of changes to common stipulations in ECW to cement the arrival of the new era. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ecwbbb.jpg ECW Blood, Sweat & Beers; where progress is measured in pain!

angeldelayette Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Alright! Looking forward to the new era here. AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. New Era means Styles gets the win. "Prototype" Andrew Martin vs. Masato Tanaka Tanaka goes bye bye with a loss Chris Hero vs. Tommy Dreamer The toughest match for me to pick because I Love Tommy Dreamer but Hero is the Saviour for a new era. Dick Dudley Jr. vs. Slyk Tayshaun Dudley Slyk takes one step closer... The Great Sasuke vs. Juventud Guerrera© I don't see Juvie losing the title just yet. I see a Juventud/Rey Rey feud on the horizon to respond with thanks for Rey Rey subbing at the PPV. CM Punk vs. Paul Burchill I don't see the New Franchise losing his first match as Champion.

"Prototype" Andrew Martin vs. Masato Tanaka Never really rated 'Test' so i'll go for Tanaka here. I don't think you'll have every younger star win. Chris Hero vs. Tommy Dreamer It's gotta be, however much of a legend Dreamer is. Dick Dudley Jr. vs. Slyk Tayshaun Dudley Slyk gains some revenge. The Great Sasuke vs. Juventud Guerrera© Juvis come too far to lose the belt on his first defence. CM Punk vs. Paul Burchill He won't lose his first match even if it is non title.

Nevermore Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Saturday, week 4, November <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Bloodsweatbeers.flv"></embed> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoeyStyles.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tazz.jpg Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles and , of course, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz. Tonight can only be described as the first event of a new era. Taz: Damn straight, Joey. We got a new World Champion, a new TV Champion, our first ever Unified Tag Champs... plus, Paul E introduces "the code" tonight. Joey: A good point, Taz. I know you're the king of backstage rumours; do you have any incite into what "the code" entails. Taz: Well, it's the Code of Diminishing Extremes and, from what I've been hearing, it's a way of cementing the new era by making ECW tghe undisputed home of first-class, competitive wrestling. Joey: Well, that sounds rather agreeable. I, for one, can't wait to hear the proposed changes. Taz: Me either, man. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpg The two men combine for a fantastic opening match. The speed and accuracy of the moves performed show the strength of the ECW midcard. In the tenth minute, Mysterio goes for a Hurricanrana. However, as he leans back to pull Styles over, AJ hooks his legs over Mysterio's arms. Styles Clash. 1...2...3! Match Rating: B+ Paul Heyman walks to the ring to huge applause. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg Heyman: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the new era of Extreme Championship Wrestling. Huge pop. Heyman: I am out here to introduce and explain the new code of conduct for ECW wrestlers: the Code of Diminishing Extremes. Taz: Here we go, Joey. Joey: I must admit I am very intrigued by this. Heyman: Now, I know what you're thinking "Diminishing Extremes" makes it sound as though we are taking away the etreme, cutting-edge nature of the ECW product but I can assure you that is not the case. In fact, these measures are designed to solidify ECW as the home of the best wrestling action in the world. What we want to achieve is being recognised not only as extreme in the nature of our match stipulations and our use of wepaons but also as the home of extreme competition. Taz: Sounds good enough to me. Heyman: These measures will be posted on ECW.com for reference if you do not fully understand my explanation tonight. So, without further ado... rule number one. A slight cheer is heard from the crowd as Heyman begins his list. Heyman: Firstly, in all ECW match-ups, the rope break rule will cease its operation. The responsibility will fall to competitors to forcibly break a submission hold. Taz: Really? Joey: Wow. Taz: Man, that would've been useful in my day. Joey: Why change that. Taz: Like Heyman said, Joey: extreme competition. If you can't break the hold yourself, it means you can't rely on a cheap exit strategy. Heyman: Secondly, in standard, singles ECW match-ups, pinfalls, submissions and knockouts will count regardless of where they are achieved in the arena. In essence, all such matches will be conducted under falls count anywhere rules. Taz: Same deal, Joey. No break in the action if that's in place. Joey: ...and it will be. I'm liking the sound of this. Heyman: Thirdly, perhaps the most surprising of the changes, the option of disqualification will now be afforded to ECW match officials. Taz: Woah... what?! Jeers are heard from the crowd. Heyman: It is important to note that the use of weapons will remain legal. The jeers die down. Heyman: However, actions judged to be contrary to the spirit of fair competition can result in a loss. This is to prevent excessive use of “cheap” tactics such as eye-gouging and low blows. Taz: Now I get ya. Heyman: Referees’ discretion will be the sole means by which this rule is monitored and a system of precedent will be respected. Thus, ECW’s officials will determine a set of commonly accepted guidelines through their decisions which will become applicable to each consequent situation. Any use of this power deemed to be controversial by either the ECW ownership or fans will be held under review with the option of a rematch falling to all affected parties. If requested, such a rematch must be booked within a period of sixty days. In addition, the concerned official will be subject to a private enquiry conducted by talent officials. Joey: In fairness, Taz. They've covered that pretty well. It stops cheap tactics and, if there is ever doubt surrounding a decision, there is the option of a rematch. Taz: Yeah... true. Heyman: Fourth... to further extend the provisions made for fair competition, there will be consequences for any form of outside interference. Due to ECW historically recognising no form of disqualification, interference has become commonplace and, mostly, accepted. Therefore, it will continue to not be grounds for a disqualification. However, referees will maintain the right to alter match stipulations concerning the number of competitors involved. For example, if a singles match is interrupted by the tag team partners of both competitors, it can be restarted as a sanctioned tag team match. ECW management now fully encourages the use of this prerogative in applicable circumstances. Taz: So, how's that different? Heyman: However, situations will still exist where numbers become unequal and the contest will cease to be even as a result. Under such conditions, ECW Enforcers will be expected to maintain order and a return the contest to an even balance as quickly as possible. If interference is not reasonably controlled and is seen to have unduly influenced the result of the match by either the ECW ownership or fans, the option of a rematch will fall to all affected parties. If requested, such a rematch must be booked within a period of sixty days. Taz: Woah... hold-up. ECW enforcers? Heyman: As for who the enforcers are, just wait and see. You might be pleasantly surprised. Heyman: Fifth... concerning, tag competition, all tag team, six-man tag team, Lioness Pack and Lioness 6-Pack matches will now be subject to the Lucha Libre tag rule. As well as tagging a partner in, a transfer of legal status between partners can be achieved by the legal competitor exiting the ring at any point, either by choice or by force. Exiting the ring is defined by both of the wrestler’s feet touching the arena floor; exiting to the apron will not result in a transfer of legal status. All non-legal competitors are free to leave the ring apron but are not permitted to enter the ring unless they achieve legal status. Due to this change in rules, the falls count anywhere stipulation will not be applicable to tag team matches. Joey: Again, a rule to introduce uninterrupted action. Paul E isn't joking about turning ECW into the home of the best competitive wrestling in the world. Taz: No doubt, Joey. Heyman: Sixth and the last of the standard rule reformations... in multi-man singles competitions, such as triangle matches, a count-out rule will be enforced. This will be a 10-count and applicable only when a single wrestler is outside the ring. As soon as a second competitor exits the ring, the count will be abandoned, only to be restarted if the original circumstance of a single wrestler being outside the ring returns. This is to prevent individuals from avoiding contact while other competitors wrestle. Joey: Oh, I like that one, Taz. Do you remember when Raven exploited that Triangle Match situation at Wrestlepalooza against the Hart brothers. Taz: Sure do, Joe. Guess that can't happen no more. Heyman: The final two points of the CoDE concern the defence of two particular titles. The International All Action Title will be contested under Lucha Libre rules. Martinetes will remain legal as will the use of weapons. However, to maintain intense in-ring action, a 20-count will be conducted when either wrestler is outside of the ring. It will not be reset if a second wrestler also exits the ring; the 20-count will be continuous and applicable to all competitors regardless of who exited the ring first. The count will only be reset when all competitors have re-entered. In addition, victories will occur on a two out of three falls basis. Both pinfalls and submissions will count as a single fall while a knockout, determined by the match official, will result in immediate victory. Taz: Wow, Ricky Marvin's gonna have some work on his hands. Heyman: ...and, finally... Paul E is cut off by the sounds of Jerusalem and a huge ovation. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNFTitle.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyNF.jpg "The New Franchise" walks to the ring accompanied by his manager, Shane Douglas, and his girlfriend, Kelly Thomaselli. The ovation is deafening as the World Heavyweight Champion bows to the crowd and Douglas lifts his client's title high in the air for all to see. As the three individuals enter the ring, Heyman respectfully steps to the side of the ring. Douglas: You're doing a great job, Paul E, and we all have tremendous respect for your new vision of ECW. In fact, I can safely say that every fan in this building is ecstatic to see ECW back in your rightful hands. "THANK YOU PAUL! THANK YOU PAUL!" Douglas: However, if it is okay by you, we thought we'd fill in this last rule of the CoDE since it concerns The New Franchise's title. First off, though, anyone seen Raven around here? Heyamn laughs as the crowd erupts. Douglas: I told you I'd pay you back Raven. Paul said he'd pay you back and guess what, ass hole, you ain't nothing anymore! Deafening chants of "New Franchise" echo around the arena. Douglas: But, to the point... the eighth rule of the CoDE. Let me preface this by saying that Burchill here grew up in England and it was traditional British wrestling that inspired this new system. The World Heavyweight Championship will be defended under modified British rules in matches comprised of twelve five minute rounds. Taz: Twelve five minute rounds?! Holy hell. Douglas: For those of you still following... and I do apologise for all the legal-type jargon, that means that two great competitors could be wrestling for up to an hour! The crowd pops. Douglas: Victories will be gained on a two out of three falls basis with both pinfalls and submissions counting as a single fall. A knockout, however, will result in an immediate victory. As in all matches, weapons will remain legal but, as Paul E has pointed out, warnings and disqualifications will be at the referee’s discretion. No count-out rulings will be in effect. A disqualification will result in an immediate loss and the champion will lose the championship in the event of his disqualification. That's right, for the first time in a while, we have a champion who's willing to defend his title properly! The crowd pops again. Douglas: If no victory is achieved after a full hour, a winner will be decided by a panel of three judges, selected by ECW management. Heyman smiles at the reference. Douglas: The judges will score each wrestler’s performance in each round based upon skill, tenacity and near falls achieved. Scoring will follow a similar format to boxing convention as each judge will score the wrestler they perceive to be the victor of the round ten points. The loser of the round will receive nine points. If a wrestler is on the losing end of a fall or receives a warning from the referee during a round, he will have one point deducted from his score. Thus, the maximum deficit per round is 10-7; the minimum is an equal score of 9-9. At the end of the contest, all three judges will calculate the scores they have awarded and declare their choice of winner. Whichever wrestler earns the backing of the majority of judges will be declared the victor. Heyman interjects. Heyman: If I may. Douglas signals for Paul E to continue. Heyman: In the unlikely event of the judges’ decision resulting in a draw, the champion will retain his title with the option of a rematch falling to ECW ownership. This must be scheduled to occur within sixty days. Finally, the match can end at any time if either competitor withdraws due to fatigue or injury, resulting in an immediate loss. Suddenly, Vito Thomaselli heads to the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg He, too, receives a notable reception. As he climbs into the ring, he hugs his sister, shakes hands with Shane Douglas and then stares down the World Heavyweight Champion. The two men glare at each other... before laughing and hugging. The crowd cheers. Vito: Congratulations, me fratello. I am very happy for you and so glad that someone finally took that treacherous piece of sh*t called Raven out of the picture! All Five individuals in the ring smile in the realisation that things seem pretty good for them all. Vito: But you gotta know something, amico. I once beat Raven clean for that belt and was denied my reign. Now we have an honourable champion such as yourself, I'll be expecting a fair shot. Burchill: ...and I'll be more than happy to obl... Voice: Hold on one f**king minute! CM Punk appears at the entrance-way, accompanied by the other members of Raven's Nest. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpg Punk: It may be a nice trip down memory lane for you two idiots to remember the occassions upon which you got one-up on a man far greater than yourselves but let's just face facts here. Raven may be gone and the exile of one of the greatest minds in this industry may be one of the greatest tragedies in recent memory. However, you only took one cog out of the machine. Granted, it was the master-cog, the lynchpin if you will but, as well as his obvious skill and intellect, something made Raven far superior to any of you. That was the fact that he wasn't arrogant enought to consider himself immortal. He may be gone but he ensured that I was ready to take his place as the leader of the Nest and the next rightful Heavyweight Champion. Burchill: What?! Are you drunk?! Did Vito pour another bevvy down your throat or something? Punk looks pissed. Punk: It's that sort of poor attempt at humour that separates you and I, Burchill. You were never serious enough, never dedicated enough to be the heir of such a great man as Raven. I mean, the only reason you two turncoat motherf**kers are standing withthat slimeball, Paul E, is because you lost the faith! You weren't strong enought to carry Raven's mantle. Douglas snatches the microphone from Burchill. Douglas: Okay, you may not be drunk but you really are a dumb motherf**er ain't you? The crowd erupts. Douglas: Listen, if you want to question the strength and character of the first reak champion ECW has had for a long while, then be my guest but actions speak louder than words. Punk: Oh, don't worry, old-timer. Me and your disgrace of a client have a match set for the main event. We'll soon see who the bigger man is and, soon enough, that title will be back where it belongs... with the Nest, honouring a man far greater than us all. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg Joey: Joey, I cannot believe that I have had to utterthe words "Slyk" and "Dick" quite so frequently recently. Taz: Welcome to Dudleyville, Joey. The two estranged half-brothers immediatley start pummeling the crap out of one another. All manner of weapons are utilised in the Dudley Slugfest. However, in the sixth minute, Ultimo Dudley II runs out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg The Angry Asian Inbred sets up a table on the outside, close to the apron. He then trips up STD from behind. Slyk stumbles into Dick's grasp... ...TOTAL PENETRATION OVER THE ROPES, THROUGH THE TABLE TO THE CONCRETE. Dick slides out and utilises the new, falls count anywhere rule for the fall. Match Rating: C- Chris Hero walks to the ring to everyonw's favourite ECW entrance music. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> The brash rookie seems to have an even greater air of arrogance than usual. He walks down to the ring smiling, giving thumbs up to the fans. He offers to slap hands with those in the front row; the majority refuse. He, of course, grabs a microphone on his way into the ring. Hero: How long now have I been saying that I was here to improve ECW one quality wrestling match at a time? Well even the uninformed majority of you must surely realise that I have ushered in a new, greater era. Joey: Oh, you're kidding me. Are we gonna have to sit through five minutes of this idiot claiming responsibility for this new era? Hero: Whether you consider me to be the man who finally brought about this change or not, there can be no denying that I was the catalyst. I mean, with a hero such as my good self delivering such inspirational performances, the rest of ECW were sure to raise their game. Alice In Chain's "Man In The Box" blares around the arena as Tommy Dreamer steps onto the entrance-way with a Singapore cane. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdEUmBlLEXg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdEUmBlLEXg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Dreamer: Hey, ass hole, the only that's gonna be raised around here is the head of your shoulders. The fans cheer the somewhat lacklustre insult. Dreamer: For all this talk of you somehow improving ECW, one fact remains. You've never been in a Masters of Pain match and, take it from a former champion, you are in for a world of hurt! Masters of Pain Qualifying Match http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero3.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg Hero locks up Dreamer in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. However, Dreamer immediately breaks it with a kick to the gut and a brawl breaks out. Joey: We remind you that this is a Masters of Pain Qualifying match and, as such, it will be contested under tournamnet rules. Taz: Yeah, that means victories only come by submission, knockout or by forcing your opponent to say "I Quit" into the arena mic. Joey: So, as a former two-time winner of the tournament, Taz, are you looking forward to this year's competiton? Taz: Oh, no doubt, Joe. Some guys may have retired recently but when you see that we got a talent the caliber of Chris Hero and a former Masters Of Pain champion in Tommy Dreamer in the ring... I mean, wow, this is only a qualifying match. The match is a fairly even contest. Predicatbly, Dreamer relies on brawling tactics while Hero tries to infuse a certain finesse. In the twelfth minute, the fight spills to the outside. As the two men brawl near the barricade, a cloaked figure steps over the rail from the front row. Taz: What the hell? He throws his hood back. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg Dreamer stares at Hatred... ....DECAPITATOR LARIAT! Joey: Damn it! "The New Main Event" simply walks up the aisle-way to huge jeers as Hero smiles at his good fortune. The referee begins the count. Tommy Dreamer is knocked out. Match Rating: B Joey: Why? What business did Nate Hatred have out here? Taz: I guess Dreamer is just another target on his list of legends, Joey. And, I'll tell ya what, with a Clothesline that powerful, I'd be amazed if anyone can stop him. Joey: Well, Masato Tanaka, The Sandman and Sabu have all fallen prey to this... this behemoth. Taz: Yeah, and now Dreamer is out of the Masters of Pain and, apparently, on Hatred's hit list. "Intolerance" by Tool plays over the arena speakers. <div><object width="512" height="322"><param name="movie" value="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashVars" value="id=15340426&vid=5892565&lang=en-gb&intl=uk&thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/10891/92360313.jpeg&embed=1" /><embed src="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="322" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" flashVars="id=15340426&vid=5892565&lang=en-gb&intl=uk&thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/10891/92360313.jpeg&embed=1" ></embed></object></div> "The Prototype" Andrew Martin walks to the ring with a bald wig on. He has shaved his beard down to a gimpy little goatie. However, rather than carrying a Singapore cane and wearing jeans shorts, he wears the red, sequined ring robe that a certain ECW-WWF sellout... err... "crossover" has taken to wearing. This must be the gimmick theft Shawn Michaels referenced. He struts down to the ring and flexes before grabbing a microphone. Martin: It's me, the Impact Playa! Now, I know that some of my compatriotes have come out here and given lengthy promos but the one thing that seperates even those no-hopers from me is that... hell, at least they got mic skills. I got nothing. In fact, I was thinking of changing my ring name to Justin Comprehensible to match my promos but I'm waiting on the okay from Trips and Nash. I mean, let's face it... my entire career has been one long ride on their coat tails and, honestly, if I gotta rely on those talentless haks to look good, it's no wonder they call me Justin Tolerable! "PROTOTYPE! PROTOTYPE! PROTOTYPE!" Taz: Can I just take the opportunity to say this one of my favourite giimmicks I've seen in years? Martin: Now, I hear I'm facing Masato Tanaka tonight. I seem to remember beating him in ECW a couple of times before. God knows what Paul E was thinking but, since he's going back to Japan, it looks like this match was signed Justin Time. Martin laughs. Martin: I'm sorry. I'm having far too much fun with this but, really, whoever thought that was a good ring name? Seriously... a second grader could be more creative. As Martin seems to finish, Tanaka heads out. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Test-1.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg The two men come out in an all-out brawl. However, after a few minutes, Tanaka starts drastically over selling. A punch results in Tanaka flipping backwards and a back elbow sends the hardcore icon flying over the top rope to the floor. Eventually, Tanaka stumbles into a Kneeling Belly-To-Belly Piledriver. Joey: My god, That's Intolerable! 1...2...3! Match Rating: C+ Juventud Guerrera and Francine head to the ring to huge applause. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg Joey: Here he is, the new ECW World Television Champion. Taz: ...and it looks like "The Queen of Extreme" has become the first lady of lucha libre. Juvi: Eight years I've been waiting for this. In eight years, this is my first ECW title and, man, does it feel good. The fans cheer. Juvi: You see, this last week I've won the TV Title and the most beautiful girl in ECW. Frankly, it makes all the years of waiting worthw... The Great Sasuke steps onto the entrance-way with a microphone. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpg Sasuke: Eight years? You think that's bad?! I was given f**king sWo angle! I stranded with face-paint Mexican freaks for a year! You got nothing to complain! I been waiting over a year to kick some lucha ass and now you go down, Juvi! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/GreatSasuke.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpg The two high-fliers put on a very solid match. The pace is quick and the fans seem solidly behind the champion. He seems to feed off their support and puts Sasuke away with a Juvi Driver in the twelfth minute. Match Rating: B Backstage, Paul Heyman sits behind his desk. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg The camera angle seems to be shot between the shoulders of two unidentifiable men. Heyman: You both know what your here to do. We've had two lots of interference already tonight. They happened quickly and there's little you could have done but, in the main event, there's sure to be some run-ins. Don't let me down. Cactus Jack is backstage for a shoot promo. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpg He engages in his trademark style of exchanging between whispering and screaming. Cactus: Nate Hatred, we all know your game now. You seem to entertain yourself by retiring ECW legends... BY MAMING THOSE WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR YOU! He pulls on his hair as he did in his more psychotic days. Cactus: Last year, Nate Hatred, I was on a losing streak. I was down and out and as low as I ever had been. One man helped me out of that rut and his name was Tommy Dreamer. THE SAME MAN YOU KNOCKED OUT TONIGHT! Now, I'm a sensitive man, Nate. You may not think it from the scars, the ripped ears and the missing teeth but, inside, I'm a fragile child and seeing you do that to my close friend... it upsets me, Nate. IT REALLY, REALLY UPSETS ME! He sighs as if holding back a tear. Cactus: Now, you may have had your wicked way with the likes of Tanaka, Sandman and Sabu but Dreamer is different. Tommy is a special friend of mine and, when you hurt him, you hurt me, Nate. So, I'm giving you this one piece of advice, Nate, and I suggest you take it. DON'T F**K WITH TOMMY DREAMER! 'Cos when you insult one Hardcore Innovator, you insult them both and I would venture to suggest that even you cannot take down two hardcore legends in one go. So, you be a good boy, Nathan, and no one has to get hurt but, if you're naughty, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS! Cactus smiles demonically and pants heavily as the camera cuts back to ringside. Joey: Okay... Taz: Damn, I think we just got a glimpse of the old Cactus Jack. Joey: Maybe losing to the Dudleyz again proved too much for him. Taz: Yeah... and he certainly seems attached to Tommy Dreamer. Non-Title http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNFTitle.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg The crowd are solidly behind Burchill in this one. "New Franchise" chants are traded around the arena. Despite Punk putting in a good showing early-on, ECW's new superstar starts to dominate. The two men put on a great show but, somewhat unsurprisingly, the match lacks the smooth psychology that was associated with the Raven era. By the thirteenth minute, Burchill's momentum is in full swing. That's when the Nest run in. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpg Alexis and Nathalie simply concern themselves with distracting Shane Douglas. Meanwhile, Monsters Inc enter the ring and begin a two-on-one beatdown on the World Champion. Vito Thomaselli emerges from the crowd. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg The young Italian runs in and starts battling the monsters. The match is poised as a chaotic brawl. Suddenly, the lights cut out. The crowd goes nuts, many knowing what is coming. As the lights come back on, Sabu and The Sandman stand in the ring. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg Sabu holds a chair and Sandman a Singapore cane. As well as their usual ring attire they both weare t-shirts with "ECW Enforcer" written across the back. Taz: Oh, here we go! The two men start clearing house. Abyss is sent crashing to the mat and under the ropes by a series of stiff cane shots. A steel chair thrown at Goliath's face is enough to stun the giant. And an Air Sabu off Sandman's back is enough to send him over the ropes to the concrete. Even Vito Thomaselli suffers a cane ashot and an unceremonial dumping to then outside. Joey: They're restoring order alright. They're not taking sides... Taz: ...or names. That's damn impressive. Burchill and Punk are left in the ring to finish the match. Punk kicks Burchill in the gut but the champion catches his foot. Burchill then flings Punk away by the foot but the Straight Edge Superstar performs a perfect backflip, landing on his feet. He charges at Burchill but he's trapped... ...C-4! The World Champion heads up to the top rope... just because he can. Moonsault! 1...2...3! Match Rating: A Taz: I think this new era might work for me, Joey. Joey: I can't help but agree, Taz. Show Rating: A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpapa42 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Cheers, man. Much appreciated. I'm hoping the new "CoDE" will make for more interesting reading . Quote The Raven Nevermore More interesting? As if things were already damned interesting here already, Nev. Good work (as always) on the show and I am intrigued by the new rules. Also want to say that thanks to you, Paul Burchill has become one of my favorite current WWE stars. So thanks for that that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 oh yea lovin the new code! I don't know how it would've gone in the real world but it certainty would've been innovative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totti Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Awesome. I can't wait for the next pay per view when i'm sure we'll get to see this 'CoDE' at its best. I guess Masters of Pain is the next PPV then? Really looking forward to seeing who will be in the final of that. I can vaguely remember Foley winning it last time around. It's good to see The Sandman and Sabu will be making appearences now and again aswell. You've played this game so long and built up so much history that you now have with them what WWE have with people like Austin nowadays. It's going to feel weird having a face champion in here, but i'm sure I'll get used to it. I like the idea already of Burchill just taking on all comers in fair matches. I was a big fan of Raven in this diary though and thought the way you booked him to keep hold of his belt was genius. He always had a trick up his sleeve. I'm glad that the nest is still around without Raven, Punk should hopefully make a good leader for them. Maybe a new member could be introduced soon aswell. How long before Hatred gets himself into the title picture? I think thats when he'll finally be beaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
