Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles and, as always, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz... Taz, the fallout from Masters of Pain is sure to come tonight!

Taz: Thanks for the intro as always, Joey and no doubt! Rhino is gonna be in full Man Beast mode I'd think after he missed out on the title last night.

Joey: You're not kidding, Taz, and he is a scary man when in that frame of mind.

Taz: A beast, Joey. There's good reason for that nickname!

Joey: Of course, we also know that Chris Hero will challenge Paul Burchill for the Heavyweight Title at Got Blood?, having won the twelfth annual Masters of Pain tournament.

Taz: Yeah, Joey, but only six of those twelve Masters have actually been succesful in their title challenge.

Joey: ...of which you were one in, what, 2000?

Taz: Jeez, Joey, way to make a guy feel old!

Joey: But, of course, Hero's victory came at the expense of Vito Thomaselli.

Taz's face turns serious.

Taz: You hate to see anything like that happen, Joey. It was brutal.

Joey: There was no need for Hero's sheer sadism!

Taz: No, no, come on, Joe. Like the guy or not, he went in looking for a title shot and Vito's prior injury was not exactly his problem!

Joey: Well, I'm sorry...

Taz: Hey look, take it from someone who's won that tournament twice. It is brutal. BUT... you want to know where the fault lies? Try Jim Molineaux. The official is responsible for the safety of the competitors!

Joey: Well, wherever the fault lies, we wish Vito all the best in his recovery and we will hear about his condition later tonight.

Masters of Pain Rematch

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg

The two men combine for a great bout - a fantatsic way to start the show.

Punk relies on his usual suspect tactics but Michaels seems to retain a slight upper hand throughout.

<div style="text-align:center;">That is until Monsters Inc. predictably show up.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg</div>

The Monsters un to the ring and slide-in.

Goliath grabs Michaels and holds him still as Abyss stares at "The Showstopper" threateningly.

The lights cut out.

There is a huge pop.

<div style="text-align:center;">When they return, Sabu and The Sandman are in the ring, chair and cane in hand respectively.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg</div>

Taz: It's the ECW Enforcers!

Sabu throws his chair in the face of Goliath and the the force sends the giant crashing through the ropes to the concrete floor.

"The Human Highlight Reel" follows up with a Springboard Plancha.

Meanwhile, Sandman hits a sickening cane shot on Abyss.

...and another.

The cane shots echo around the arena as the monster arches his back and clenches his fist in pain.

Sandman continues swinging the cane until it starts to splinter and Abyss is forced roll to the outside.

Joey: Well, they're here to restore order and they've done just that!

Taz: More effectively than last night, that's for damn sure!

However, in the chaos Punk lands a lowblow on Michaels.

Joey: Damn it!

<div style="text-align:center;">RVD emerges from the crowd with a chair in hand.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg</div>

Joey: It's the other half of The Whole F'n Show... Rob Van Dam.

Taz: This is insane!

RVD slides in and throws the chair at Punk.

Punk catches it...

VAN DAMINATOR!

NO! Punk ducks and RVD catches Shawn Michaels square in the jaw with a Roundhouse Kick.

Taz: Oh no!

Distraught, RVD holds his head in his hands but, sensing Punk behind hm, he turns.

CHAIR SHOT!

Joey: And Van Dam is down.

Punk locks in the Anaconda Vice on Michaels and "The Showstopper is forced to tap.

Match Rating: B+

As the bell rings, Punk makes a quick getaway, his monsters following close behind.

In the ring, both Michaels and RVD groggily return to standing.

Michaels stares a whole through Van Dam.

RVD seems to apologise.

Michaels shrugs Van Dam.

Taz: Uh oh!

Joey: We've been through this! Michaels and Van Dam have only just got back on the same page after their troubles over the last few months!

Taz: Yeah... but luck just ain't on their side even when they decide not to team.

RVD does not retalliate he only argues his point.

Michaels screams back at him.

<div style="text-align:center;">Traci comes sprinting out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg</div>

Joey: Traci's here to sort things out.

Taz: Maybe but she's hardly impartial... she's RVD's girlfriend.

Joey: ...and Michaels best friend, Taz.

She quickly slides in and positions herself between the two men.

Michaels and RVD continue to argue but Traci forces them apart.

Michaels storms out of the ring, cursing over his shoulder.

RVD and Traci make their exit too, making sure to take a different route.

Lioness Pack Match

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AKINO.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AmazingKong.jpg

The two teams put on a great match with Prince Nana doing a good job of hyping Jazz and Kong.

However, the ECW fan base is clearly still growing accustomed to the new emphasis placed on women's wrestling.

In the ninth minute, Meiko Satomura sets up a steel chair and hits a Drop Toe Hold on Jazz straight onto the steel.

Taz: Shades of Raven in the Lioness division.

Joey: Do me a favour and don't mention that name.

Taz: Ha, point taken, Joe.

She covers for the pinfall.

Match Rating: D+

<div style="text-align:center;">As soon as the bell rings, the female contingent of the Nest comes running out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpg</div>

Nathalie jumps Meiko from behind.

Alexis drives her Lioness title into Kong's face.

AKINO tries to intervene but she too is knocked out by the gold.

...and the Nest leave as quikly as they came.

Taz: They do get that it's a singles six-way at Got Blood? right?

Joey: Yeah... who knows how it's gping to play out.

<div style="text-align:center;">Traci and RVD run after Shawn Michaels backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg</div>

Traci: Leave it, Robbie. Don't fan the flame.

RVD: Hey, Shawn.

Michaels: Back off Rob!

RVD: Shawn I just want to say... I'm sorry, man!

Michaels turns and looks at his friend.

But he just scoffs and walks off.

Traci: You okay, babe?

RVD: I can't stand this sh*t, man.

Traci: Need I remind you, you too were kicking two shades of crap out of each other a few months ago.

RVD: Aah, come on... we sorted it out. We're brothers, Trace. You know that. We had one of the greatest matches ever at N2R and we're all good... or so I thought. Tonight was an honest mistake.

Traci: I know, hun. But don't sweat it. You've got to face Rhino later and I'm not letting you go in there unprepared.

Van Dam Smirks.

RVD: Really?... What did you have in mind? I hear... err... sports massages can be u...

Traci: Mind out the gutter, you.

Van Dam laughs.

Traci: But beat Rhino tonight and a massage will be just the start.

RVD: REALLY? Hmm... incentive then.

The camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg

Despite being billed to compete, Nate Hatred is nowhere to be seen.

Joey: Where the hell is Nate Hatred?

Taz: Joey, Nate Hatred does what he wants and no one's dumb enough to tell him different!

Due to this, the Dudley Boys are pretty much picked apart in a 4-on-2.

<div style="text-align:center;">Ultimo Dudley II runs to the ring but Daizy Dudley is in hot pursuit

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg</div>

Taz: It's Banzai Dudley. He's come to save his uncles.

Joey: Except Daizy has other ideas.

Daizy and Ultimo II brawl on the outside.

<div style="text-align:center;">And a menacing figure cuts a line through the front row.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg</div>

Taz: Here he is!

Joey: Good of him to show up!

Hatred slides in.

The Hardcore Innovators charge at him.

DOUBLE DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Taz: Here we go again!

Joey: He is a monster.

STD runs at "ECW's NME" but is Back Body Dropped over the ropes to the concrete floor with ease.

Joey: OH MY GOD!

Big Dick Dudley Jr. strides over and the two behemoths go nose to nose.

Dick lands a Haymaker...

...but Hatred is completely unaffected.

DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Taz: Damn!

The Origanl Dudleys walk over and pat Hatred on the back.

Hatred looks at Mitchell.

Mitchell gives a nod.

DOUBLE DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Joey: He took out his own partners!

Taz: I told you, Joey. Nate Hatred does what he wants... when he wants.

Hatred heads out to ringside and bundles STD back into the ring.

He then proceeds to lay Tommy Dreamer on top of Cactus Jack.

And then STD on top of them... followed by Dick Jr.

Taz: What the hell is he doing now?

He then lays D-Von on top of Bubba.

He places one hand on top of Dick Jr's chest and a boot on D-Von's.

Mitchell screams "Count" at the referee.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B-

Taz: Damn!

Joey: What the hell does that even count as?

Taz: Domination, Joey! It counts as sheer domination. Anything other than that... does it matter?

The Sinister Minister picks up a mic.

Mitchell: People seemed surprised when Nathan requested a handicap match against the Hardcore Innovators. Well, ECW's Most Extreme Athlete and New Main Event is in the business of ending careers. And business is good! So, we thought... why not two for the price of one. Catcus Jack and Tommy Dreamer... both destroyed in one night. And that night is in just six days!

The Minister cackles as Hatred just stares at the camera.

Mitchell: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nathan may be the one who is... err... "hadicapped" going in. BUT... Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer, you will be the ones who leave in wheel chairs.

The Sinister Minister and his monstrous client head to the back, leaving carnage in their wake.

<div style="text-align:center;">The most hated music in ECW blares out.

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/PmjmKrOT0-c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Hero"></iframe></div></div> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/PmjmKrOT0-c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Hero"></iframe></div></div> type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div>

Joey: No! No way! I am not going to sit and listen to this idiot gloat when Vito is lied up in hospital somewhere.

Looking perurbed, Hero grabs a mic.

The chants begin before he can even start.

"SHUT THE F**K UP!" *Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap*

Hero: I'M SORRY!

Taz: Woah... what?!

Hero: I'm sorry for what you all had to witness last night!

Joey: Well, maybe he does have a conscience.

Hero sighs.

Hero: I'm sorry that last night was the first time that it occured to you that "Hey... the Saviour of ECW, Chris Hero, will be the next World Champion"!

Joey: Oh god!

Taz: He is a great talent. But, my god, is he an ass!

Hero: What... what? You're expecting me to feel bad?! For earning a shot at the title that should be mine?! Vito just got in the way. He should have known better.

<div style="text-align:center;">The ECW World Champion and Kelly Thomaselli walk out to huge applause.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyNF.jpg</div>

But there is none of the usual pageantry.

Kelly looks very upset and Burchill walks with his arm around her.

She takes a mic on her way into the ring.

Kelly: You sick f**k!

Hero shrugs as Burchill stares a hole through him.

Kelly tries to stop herself from crying.

Kelly: My brother... my beautiful brother is lied up in a hospital bed thanks to you... and you come out here to gloat?! F**K YOU CHRIS! F**K YOU!

She composes herself.

Kelly: But I'm not here to talk to you.

She turns to the crowd.

Kelly: Vito's recovering but...

Her voice starts to break as a tear rolls down her face.

Burchill puts his arm on her shouder.

Kelly: ...but he went into a severe state of shock last night. The doctors are saying something about his nervous system. I'm not sure.

She bursts into tears.

Joey: the poor girl.

Taz: Poor Vito!

Hero: So I presume he won't be wrestling for a while. Shame really... seeing the look on your face if I did his other wrist...

Furious, Burchill strides up to Hero.

Hero: Woah, there big man. It's not 'til Got Blood? that I plan to kick your ass!

Burchill grabs him by the throat.

Kelly: Leave it Paul! Leave it! He's not worth it! Don't give him the stisfaction.

Burchill releases his grip.

Kelly: Just make sure you kick this motherf**ker's ass at Got Blood?!

The crowd explodes.

Kelly: In fact, break his f**king wrist, Paul!

Burchill smiles and takes Kelly's mic.

Burchill: Why wait 'til Got Blood? See you in the main event, oh "Saviour"...

Burchill takes Kelly by the hand and walks her to the back.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg

Sure enough, Rhino is on the warpath.

Try as he might, RVD cannot match the power of the Man Beast.

In the eleventh minute, Traci jumps on the apron.

She tries to distract Rhino with her feminine wiles.

But The Man Beast just shoves her from the apron into the guard rail.

Joey: My god. That's just wrong.

taz: We've seen it before, Joey. Women don't get special consideration in ECW... particularly not from Rhino.

RVD staggers to his feet...

...GORE!

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A

After the match, Rhino sets up a table beside the ring apron.

Taz: Oh no! We know what's coming.

Joey: Does this man have no regard for human life?

Rhino slides in and drags RVD out to the apron.

<div style="text-align:center;">Shawn Michaels comes charging out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg</div>

Rhino drops RVD and heads to the fllor to meet Michaels.

He charges...

...but runs straight into SWEET CHIN MUSIC!

Michales helps up RVD.

RVD hugs his former partner.

The two men help Traci up and make an exit before the beast stirs.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNFTitle.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero3.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpg

The four men combine for a solid tag bout.

The in-ring psychology of both Burchill and Hero certainly helps sell the feuds.

Though, Hero is careful to avoid being the legal man at the same time as the Heavyweight Champion.

In the thirteenth minute, as Juvi and AJ brawl on the outside, Burchill sets up Hero for the C-4.

Taz: Here we go!

But Hero kicks Burchill below the belt.

Joey: Oh come on!

HERO'S WELCOME!

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B

Joey: Damn it!

Taz: You gotta know it won't be that easy for him at Got Blood?, though, Joey!

The arrogant Hero celebrates his victory to the crowd's disgust.

<div style="text-align:center;">What sounds like hell's own orchestra sounds as the arena is plunged into darkness.

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/g4WOV1xdZII?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Taker"></iframe></div></div> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="

Joey: It's "The Soul Taker"! It's Mark Calaway!

Taz: But what does he want?

Taker strides to the ring in his usual hybrid of biker/deadman attire but, instead of his usual vest, he wears a Vito Thomaselli merchandise shirt.

Hero stares on in panic.

Taker steps over the rope.

He grabs Hero by the throat.

Joey: CHOKESLAM!

Taz: It seems Taker took offence at Hero's actions too.

Joey: Well, Vito was somehwhat of a protege to Calaway.

Taz: In that case, Hero's got more than the champ to worry about! He's in for a world of hurt!

The show cuts as Taker makes his slit throat motion.

Show Rating: B

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Revolution:

ECW World Television Championship Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTVBelt.jpg
Kurt Angle vs. Juventud Guerrera
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpg

ECW's only olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle, could not progress past the quarter finals of the Masters of Pain tournament on Friday night, despite being a former tournament champion. Clearly, he will be itching to maek a point and what better way than by claiming the ECW TV Title. However, after months of bad luck, The champion, Juventud Guerrera, turned the corner in November and has been on a real roll of momentum. Could Kurt Angle be the one ti stop it?

Lioness Pack Match
The Nest vs. AKINO & Meiko
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AKINO.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpg

Less than a week away from the singles six way match foor the ECW Lioness title at Got Blood?, AKINO and Meiko Satomura have requested this Pack Match. Seeking revenge for the blindside attack that the Nest launched last week, can the Japanese Lioness' gain some momentum heading into the pay-per-view and, of course, what role will Jazz and Kong play?

The Dudley Boys vs. Nate Hatred
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

Another team caught in a surprise attack last week was the Dudley Boys who were, frankly, destroyed by their makeshift partner for the evening, Nate Hatred. However, you can guarantee that they did not request this match with "ECW's New Main Event"! Hatred looked as dominant as ever on Saturday and this handicap match seems like mere preparation for his showdown with the Hardcore Innovators at Got Blood?. The Dudleys will be hoping they are still capable of competing at Got Blood? against their angry, inbred nephews for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship. Or maybe we're being hysterical... This is a handicap match...

The Briscoe Boys vs. The harcore Innovators
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

...and the Hardcore Innovators are the team that must face Hatred at Got Blood?. Hatred has made his career by ending those of ECW legends and there is no doubting The Innovators status in that category. However, brutal hardcore wrestling surely plays right into the hands of Cactus and Dreamer. If they can build some momentum against the Briscoes on Revolution, surely, it can only help.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. Rhino & CM Punk
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg

The Whole F**kin' Show reform for one night only to take on the men that screwed them over and attempted to crutalise them on Blood, Sweat and Beers. Punk isseeking to continue his run of good form over Michaels though "The Showstopper" will have other ideas. Rob Van Dam will be looking to recover from his consecutive losses and The Man Beast... Well, the Man Beast is only ever loooking to cause absolute carnage!

Mark Calaway vs. Chris Hero
[http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero3.jpg

A former mentor figure to Vito Thomaselli, "The Soul Taker" clearly took exception to the self-proclaimed "Saviour of ECW"'s actions at the Masters of pain tournament Finals, not to mention his despicable words on Saturday night. Then you can add in the fact that Hero beat Calaway on the way to his Masters of Pain victory. Clearly, he will be looking to teach the youngster a harsh lesson. However, Hero has picked up impressive victories in the last few months against the likes of Chris Jericho and, of course, his very opponent for Revolution. He has also "earned" his shot at The World Heavyweight Championship, against Paul Burchill, at Got Blood? Losing to the Soul Taker will be the last thing on his mind!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScottHudson.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg

Hudson: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Happy New Year and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson...

Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.

Hudson: In just four days time, we will all witness the self-proclaimed "Saviour of ECW" Chris Hero challenge "The New Franchise" Paul Burchill for the World Heavyweight Championship. But first he has to deal with "The Soul Taker".

Gertner: Well, I worry about you sometimes, Scotty boy.

Hudson: And why is that?

Gertner: The lovely Francine is in action tonight and all you can talk about is...

Hudson: Franice isn't in action tonight.

Gertner: Okay, then, go ahead and split hairs. But Juvi's in action tonight which means Francine will be centre stage.

Hudson: You think a valet appearance by Francine is more important than the Heavyweight Title and whether that arrogant idiot Chris Hero gets put in his place?

Gertner: Depends.

Hudson: On?

Gertner: The length of her skirt.

Hudson: For crying out loud. I need a new job.

Gertner: Scotty, you threaten to leave because of me almost every week. Why not just get on with it? Then, perhaps, Francine can join me on announce duties.

Hudson: In your dreams.

Gertner: You have no idea... Anyway, my dreams are private.

Hudson: ...and lets keep them that way. First up on Monday night Revolution, Juventud Guerrera, indeed, defends his Television Title against Kurt Angle.

Gertner: ...and Francice d...

Hudson: Oh shut up, Joel!

The two men put on a solid match to start the show.

Angle showcases his technical ability early on but Juvi continues his great run of form, taking teh advantage.

With Francine cheering from ringside, he hits the Juvi Driver for the win at 12:17.

Match Rating: B

<div style="text-align:center;">After the match AJ Styles appears at the entrance-way, mic in hand.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpg</div>

Styles: Congratulations, Juventud. Live it up while the success lasts because it's just a few days until I take that World Television Title from you. You see, before Chris Daniels, Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon got all tangled up in our business, I had your number. Remember that, Juvi? How I took your mask? How I took your identity... your very meaning?

Juvi scowls up the aisle-way.

Francine seems to tell him to take no notice.

Styles: Well, it seems to me you've just replaced one mask with another. Instead of the mysterious, masked Juventud Guerrera, you're now the plucky young Television Champion... but it's all an act, isn't it Juvi? Take that belt away and what are you really? An unmasked luchadore who, let's face it, is not actually as young as he used to be, with only one ECW title reign to his name and a slut who's slept with half the locker room! Without that belt, Juvi, we'll see what you really are: an abject failure. And, come Got Blood?, that's exactly what you'll be.

Lioness Pack Match

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattieNeidhart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLioness.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AKINO.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MeikoSatomura.jpg

The Lionesses combine for a good midcard bout with plenty of back-and-forth action.

In the eighth minute, Meiko Satomura hits the Death Valley Bomb on nathalie and goes for the cover.

But AKINO enters the ring and pulls her partner off, making the cover instead.

Gertner: What the hell?

Hudson: I guess AKINO wants the momentum heading into Got Blood?

Meiko pulls AKINO off Nattie and the two joshi stars get into a shoving match.

Gertner: Aah, who cares? Alexis is the only hot one anyway!

Hudson: For crying out loud, Joel. Alexis is also one of the sneekiest champions we've seen in ECW who was all too willing to align herself with that scumbag Raven.

Gertner: Yeah, but you would, woudn't you?

Hudson: Ugh... is that your new catchphtrase or something?

Gertner: You know what? Maybe.

Alexis enters the ring and clubs AKINO from behind.

As AKINO falls, Meiko boots Alexis in the gut but it is caught and Alexis gets the Single Leg Takedown.

But she, in turn, is clubbed in the back by Nathalie.

Hudson: Oh... trouble for the Nest, now!

Gertner: No... not the hot one!

Soon, an all-out four-way brawl begins.

<div style="text-align:center;">Jaz and Kong come running out with prince Nana.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AmazingKong.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PrinceNana.jpg</div>

Jazz and Kong slide in and start destroying anything that moves.

Kong takes out Meiko with a Lariat... and Alexis with a DDT.

Jazz hits a Piledriver on AKINO... and a DDT on Nathalie.

Referee John Finnegan decides to call for a no contest.

Match Rating: C-

Jazz and Kong are left standing in the ring, as Prince Nana celebrates their efforts.

But they turn to face each other.

Hudson: Uh-oh!

Jazz slaps Kong across the face.

Hudson: Oh!

Gertner: What? It's not like that face can get any uglier!

Kong slaps Jazz back and then a brawl breaks out between the two partners as Nana tries to split them up.

Hudson: I think it's finally twigged that it's all out war for the Lioness Title on Friday!

<div style="text-align:center;">Rob Van Dam and Traci are backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg</div>

Traci: Felling better about things now?

RVD: Yeah, I think me and Shawn are straightened out now.

Traci: Haha... you better be. You're teaming tonight.

<div style="text-align:center;">Shawn Michaeks walks in.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg</div>

Michaels: Damn straight we are. For one night only, it's the return of everyone's favourite team.

RVD and Traci smile.

RVD: ...and mine.

Traci: The Whole...

RVD: ...F**kin'...

Michaels: ...Show!

RVD and Michaels bump fists as the camera cuts back to ringside.

The Dudleys start by going on the offensive, taking advantage of their superior numbers.

But, as ECW fans have come to expect, the sheer power of the "Most Extreme Athlete" proves to much.

Hatred begins to dominate and in the tenth minute he hits a Double Decpaitator Lariat for the victory.

Match Rating: B+

<div style="text-align:center;">After the match, The Second Generation of Dudleyz come running out, closely followed by The Hardcore Innovators.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg</div>

The four men make a beeline for Nate Hatred and a 4-on-1 assault ensues.

Meanwhile Diazy grabs Mitchell by his hair and starts to slap several shades of sh*t out of the Sinister Minister.

Hudson: It's retribution for last week!

Even Hatred cannot stand up to this punishment as the assault continues.

Gertner: And as Bubba and D-Von recover it looks like they will be joining the party.

But no..

Bubba and D-Von attack their nephew from behind.

<div style="text-align:center;">As the chaos continues, the camera cuts to Paul E's office.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg</div>

Heyman: Right... explain that to me again.

Guerrera: Well, Paul E, AJ's comments got me thinking.

Francine: Oh, Juvi, ignore him. He's just bitter.

Guerrera: Oh, I know, Franny but it's got me thinking... Paul, would it be okay if I put the mask back on?

Heyman: Yeah... that's just it. Why?

Guerrera: Not permanently. Not properly. everyone's seen my face now, anyway and I like the freedom that come with it.

Heyman: So...?

Guerrera: I just want to wear it during my entrances as a nod to my heritage... you know, where I came from.

Heyman: That's it? Hell, that's fine with me, kid. You didn't even need to ask.

Guerrera: Thanks, Paul.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JayBriscoe.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MarkBriscoe.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

The crowd seem as they are growing used to the Briscoes on ECW TV.

However, there's no doubt who is winning this match.

The experience of the Innovators proves to much.

They hit a Double DDT on mark Briscoe in the tenth minute for the win.

Match Rating: C+

<div style="text-align:center;">Backstage, Chris Hero marches into Mark Calaway's dressing room.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero3.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg</div>

Hero: What the hell was that last week?! Do you know who I am?

Taker looks up and peers over his sunglasses.

Calaway: Do you know who I am, kid? I'm the deadman.

Hero: Oh you will be!

Taker smiles.

Taker: You're either very brave or very stupid! Either way, I guess I do admire your balls.

Hero: Great... a homosexual deadman.

Taker grabs Hero by the throat.

Taker: You watch your damn mouth, boy! I ain't gonna stand for any of your sh*t. I should rip your hands off for what you did to Vito on Friday night but, keep talking, and I'll rip your tongue out too!

Hero struggles to breathe, tapping Taker's hand to ask to be released.

Taker: Now get to stepping, kid. I wouldn't want to kick your ass back here when plenty of people have paid good money for a front row seat.

He pushes Hero back by the throat and the brash Number One Conender makes a quick exit.

<div style="text-align:center;">The Whole F**kin' Show enter the ring for their match.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg</div>

Bob Artese: Weighing in at a combined weight...

RVD takes the mic from Bob Artese.

RVD: I'll take that if you don't mind, Bob.

Hudson: I think I know what's coming.

Gertner: Oh, good for you, Scotty boy.

Hudson: It's Scott, jackass!

RVD: Making a special one night only return it's everybody's favourite team.

Michaels leans into the mic.

Michaels: ...and mine.

Both: The Whole F**kin' Show!

RVD: Introducing, first... He weighs in at a rough, tough, ready, stacked and buff 225 lbs. Lock up your daughters and blindfold your wives because, from San Antonio Texas, it's "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn "The Showstopper" Michaels.

Michaels strikes his flexing pose and the crowd erupts. He then takes the mic from Van Dam.

Michaels: And, introducing his tag team partner... weighing in at a slim, trim, buff, cut, ripped, chizzled, and jacked 237 lbs. Lose your inhibitions and forget your ABCs 'cos, from Battle Creek Michigan, it's mister RVD!

Van Dam points his thumbs as his initials are said and the sellout crowd imitates.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg

The four men combine for one of the best tag matches seen on ECW TV in recent months.

The Whole F**kin' Show look like they never stopped teaming.

In the twelfth minute, they throw Rhino from the ring amd layout Punk with a Roundhouse/Sweep Kick ccombination.

They head up opposite turnbuckles,

Michaels flexes and RVD points his thumbs.

420 Splash!

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B+

As the bell rings, Rhino slides back into the ring.

RVD and Michaels, still celebrating, turn realising that Rhino is back.

The Man Beast charges and catches both of them...

DOUBLE GORE!

The Man Beast heads to the back.

Hudson: Rhino is on the warptah once more!

Gertner: When is he not?!

Punk staggers to his feet and grabs a mic.

Punk: Shawn Michaels, I've beaten you twice this last week and it should have been another victory here tonight. But I want to put this to bed once and for all. You feel you somehow got screwed, huh? Well let me prove to you that it's just a case of your being the inferior wrestler. I'm challenging you to a match at Got Blood? and, when I win, Paul E will have no choice but stick me in the main event! The World Title belongs back with Raven's Nest and, since you've kicked up this little fuss, you can be just the stepping stone to achieve that.

<div style="text-align:center;">Kelly Thoaselli is on the phone backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyNF.jpg</div>

Kelly: How are you feeling, bro?

She seems upset.

Kelly: That's good is it?.... Okay...

<div style="text-align:center;">Paul Burchill walks into shot and puts his arm on her shoulder.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg</div>

Burchill: Tell him to keep his chin up.

Kelly: Paul says "hi". He's thinking of you.

She holds the phone out so Burchill can here.

Vito: Thanks, Paulo. You got a job to do at Got Blood?

The camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero3.jpg

Calaway comes out like a man on a mission, physically dominating Hero.

However, Hero, through typical use of questionable tactics, is able to stay in the match.

In the twelfth, Taker lifts up Hero for the Last Ride.

But Hero rolls over his shoulders into a Victory Roll Pinfall.

1...

Hero gets his feet on the middle rope for leverage.

...2...3!

Match Rating: A

Hudson: Damn this kid!

The number one contender makes a quick exit, not waiting around to find out the consequences of his actions.

As Hero runs up the aisle way, Taker makes a cut throat motion.

<div style="text-align:center;">However, as Hero reaches the entrance-way, he is met by the World Champion.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg</div>

Hudson: Uh-oh!

Burchill lands a stiff Haymaker on Hero and the number one contender collapses.

Burchill picks him up by his hair and stares at him.

He then looks across the arena at Mark Calaway, holding up four fingers.

"Four days" he mouths.

Taker smiles and nods.

Shawn Michaels vs. CM Punk

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpg

These two men initially faced off in the Masters of Pain Quarter Finals, with Punk picking up the win in dubious circumstances thanks to his "No Enforcers" stipulation. Michaels requested a rematch but was screwed out of victory by Punk after he capitalised on RVD's accidental Roundhouse Kick on his former partner. Reuniting officially for one night only, the Whole F**in' Show were able to score a tag team victory over Punk and Rhino on Monday night but can Michaels get the retribution he's been searching for here in fair singles competition and no stipulations in effect?

After a long "pack" feud between three more than capable teams, Paul E has decided that the fate of the Lioness title comes down to this 6-way at Got Blood?! So far, The Nest (or, at least, its female contingent) have managed to keep control of the gold with Alexis. However, that stability started to unravel on Monday's Revolution when Nathalie and Alexis turned on each other. That said, the teams of both Jazz and Kong and AKINO and Meiko promptly imploded too. All 6 Lionesses are eyeing the title but who will come out victorious.

Only in Dudleyville! In a bid to win the the Undisputed tag titles from their rivals in previous months, Bubba Ray and D-Von introduced the next generation of their inbred family. It consisted of Big Dick Dudley Jr., his half-sister-half-girlfriend Daizy Dudley, and their Japanese cousin, Ultimo Dudley II. Everything was normal in Dudleyville... well as normal as can be expected... until Slyk Tayshaun "STD" Dudley showed up with his Boston Crabs. He feuded with all his relatives until he won Dick and Daizy around to his way of thinking (citing the "rousing" words of one Martin Luther Dudley). Apparently, it is a secret that has torn this family apart, which Bubba and D-Von have no inetntion of spilling. However, if they lose at Got Blood?, they must do exactly that. Alternatively, if they are victorious, not only can they keep their mouths closed (makes a change...), they will also claim the gold from their nephews.

AJ Styles vs. Juventud Guerrera

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStyles.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpg

Where does one start with these two? They have a long and storied rivalry which saw Juventud Guerrera lose his mask. We thought it had all culminated with Juvi's claiming of the TV Title but, now, Styles wants his remtach. He has claimed that the TV Title is merely a "new mask" for Juvi, which the luchadore clings to as a replacement for his previosu identity. Is there any truth to Styles' claims? Perhaps we will find out at Got Blood?

Yes, ECW's "Most Extreme Athlete" actually requested this handicap match. To quote the Sinister Minister, Nate Hatred is in the business of ending the careers of ECW legends and business is good. So far, Hatred has, frankly, destroyed such icons as Masato Tanaka and the Sandman. Furthermore, at November To Remember XV, he ended the career of "The Human Highlight Reel" Sabu. It seems Cactus Jack and Tommy dreamer are next on his list. Their history with ECW needs no explanation but can they stop the "New main Event"? And if they can't what does it say for the future of ECW?!

Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill

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

Well, here it is... The customary conclusion of "Masters of Pain season" and, indeed, the main reason for the existence of ECW's Got Blood? (so early as it is in the new year).

Chris Hero won the annual submission tournament, gaining his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. However, he did so by hospitalising Paul Burchill's long time friend Vito Thomaselli. To make matters worse, when Burchill's girlfriend (and Vito's sister) Kelly Thomaselli tried to tell the fans of her brother's condition, the self-proclaimed "Saviour of ECW" used it as a sickening opportunity to gloat.

After impressive wins over the likes of Chris Jericho and Mark Calawy in recent months, we know full well that Hero is a hell of a wrestler, in spite of his attitude. Still, can he topple "The New Franchise"? Paul Burchill ended the reign of the most decorated champion in ECW history, Raven, and in so doing became only the fifth man to achieve the coveted ECW Triple Crown. He topped this off with an impressive title defence against "The Man Beast" Rhino at Masters of Pain. All agree he is the future of ECW - but, surely, so is Chris Hero.

Let me just say for anybody who hasn't yet read this epic I highly recommend setting to time aside to do just that. Best diary I have ever seen on these boards and i'm sure many would agree.

Shawn Michaels vs. CM Punk

I'll lean towards Punk here because he obviously has a much bigger future than Shawn and because of the 'passing of the torch' ppv not too long ago.

Lioness Championship

Jazz vs. Kong vs. AKINO vs. Meiko Satomura vs. Nathalie vs. Alexis

You've got a great womens division going which I think would get a lot of people interested. Going with Kong simply because she scares me.

Undisputed World Tag Team Championship

The Dudley Boys vs. The Second Generation of Dudleys

We want the secret!

World Television Championship Match

AJ Styles vs. Juventud Guerrera

I think Juve will keep hold for now gaining some momentum after the whole demasking.

Nate Hatred vs. The Hardcore Innovators

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hatred do it, but it is two men and two of the most hardcore to ever hit the ring. I think they'll take this one and the feud will continue, Hatred will destroys their legends a little later down the line though.

World Heavyweight Championship

Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill

I love Rhino and really wanted him to do it at masters of pain. Tough one this because Hero has been so impressive recenty. I'll go with Burchill to keep hold here and Vito being involved somehow.

Really looking forward to it buddy, so glad this is back.

Joey: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to ECW Got Blood?. I'm Joey Styles and alongside me, as always, are Don Callis and former ECW World Heavyweight champion, Taz..

Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joe. Man, am I looking forward to tonight's matches.

Callis: You're not alone, Taz! Although their dispute is a relatively recent thing, our opening match between Shawn Michaels and CM Punk should be a fantastic display.

Joey: Meanwhile, The Hardcore Innovators have the opportunity to stop Nate Hatred's win streak in its tracks.

Taz: Yeah, Joey... but can they?

Callis: A fair question! Loathe him though ECW fans might, the man is simply a monster.

Joey: And, then, of course, there are no less than four ECW championships on the line tonight.

Taz: No, doubt, Joey. Juvi versus AJ for the TV gold should be amazing... again! The Lioness division is looking stronger than ever...

Callis: And, of course, there is the Flaming Tables "Family Secret" Match.

Taz: Haha... only in Dudleyville!

Joey: And, perhaps, most importantly of all, "The New Franchise" Paul Burchill has the coveted oopportunity to smack some respect into Chris Hero.

Callis: ...and get some retribution on Vito Thomaselli's behalf!

Taz: Alll with the World Title on the line in 12 rounds of wrestling excellence! Man, I'm pumped. Let's go.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunk.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg

The two men combine for a great display of technical wrestling.

Indeed, Punk proves that he can compete without always needing to resort to foul play.

After an evenly-matched display, in the fourteenth minute, Michaels whips Punk to the ropes...

SWEET CHIN MUSIC...

No! Punk ducks underneath and rebounds off the ropes again.

Michaels turns and is met with an Arm Trap Swinging Neckbreaker.

Punk covers.

The Monsters slide in as Michaels readies to meet them.

Callis: Oh no! Again, Michaels is outnumbered.

Taz: And outsixed, Callis. Don't forget outsized.

Goliath hits the Chokeslam on Michaels.

The lights cut out.

And the fans go crazy.

Taz: I think Sabu and The Sandman are coming!

When the lights return, Sabu and RVD are in the ring, both with chairs in hand.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpg

Joey: It's "The Human Highlight Reel" alright but that's Rob Van Dam!

taz: Well, this is a blast from the past!

Sabu throws his chair into the face of Abyss and the monster goes tumbling through the ropes from the impact.

RVD throws his chair at Goliath, who catches it...

VAN DAMINATOR!

"RVD! RVD! RVD"

Sabu sets up his chair near the ropes.

He runs, rebounds off the opposite ropes, steps off the chair onto the top rope...

Sommersault Senton to Abyss!

"ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!"

RVD bundles Goliath into a seated position in the corner as Sabu re-enters the ring.

Sabu takes the other chair and steps out to ringside, holding the steel in front of Goliath's face.

From atop the turnbuckle RVD points his thumbs.

VAN TERMINATOR!

Joey: OH MY GOD!

The force sends Goliath tumbling out of the ring and even Sabu falls to the concrete with the impact.

RVD too rolls out to ringside, favouring his back from the dangerous manoeuvre.

Punk returns to his feet shortly before Michaels.

Michaels tries to initiate the collar and elbow tie up...

Lowblow from Punk.

GO TO SLEEP!

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A

Callis: Punk steals it!

Taz: And that's a hell of a shame because it was looking like a great match.

RVD slides in to interrupt Punk's celebration but "The Straight Edge Superstar" makes a quick escape, not even waiting for his monsters.

D-Von: Oh my most unrighteous nephews and nieces, the Dudleyville day of judgement has arrived. You may want to open up a catalclysmic Pandora's box of ancestral uncertainty but my brother from another mother and I are disinclined to volunteer such subterfuge.

Ultimo Dudley II stares at his uncle.

Banzai: You say waaaah?

D-Von takes Ultimo II's head between his hands and turns it back towards the camera.

D-Von: Eyes front, young'un... You see, my most unholy household, the great Dudley name depends on our discretion and...

Bubba interrupts.

Bubba: SCREW THE FAMILY NAME! YOU HAVE OUR TITLES, BOYS!

Banzai: THOU SHALT NOT F**K... WITH THE OLEEGINAW DUDREES!

Juvi is sat in a chair whilst Francine laces up his mask from behind.

Francine: How does that feel?

Juvi: That's good. Thanks, Franny!

Francine: You sure about this? Taking your mask off was a big step for you...

She hesitates.

Francine: ...and for us.

Juvi: Hey, this is a lucha thing. Even if people know my face know, my mask is my way of thanking my forebears.

Francine: I get that... I think.

Juvi: ...and about us... I never could have taken my mask off and got through it if not for you.

Francine smiles.

Juvi: I wasn't just hiding my face before I met you. I was hiding from myself and my own happiness. You made me realise exactly what life has to offer, Franny.

Franny: Listen about that old sh*t AJ seems to want to drag up...

Juvi: I don't care.

Francine smiles even wider and kisses the luchadore through the gap in his mask.

Joey: Terry Funk, The Sandman... Owen Hart?! What are they doing here?

"The New Franchise" stable are backstage for a shoot promo.

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

Douglas: Chris Hero, you may believe that you are "The Saviour of ECW". You're not. The man beside me saved ECW from the tyrannical rule of Raven. All you've done is say some controversial sh*t on a microphone and, believe me son, what you've had to say really ain't that revolutionary. You see I was shocking audiences when you were still in diapers and the only reason I'm not still competing for this belt right here today is because I recognise the best in the world when I see it. "The New Franchise" Paul Burchill is the very best in the world of professional wrestling and maybe the best athlete on god's green earth. Tell me the last time you saw a 6'5" 250lb guy nail a Shooting Star Press the way he can. Exactly... you can't. And, tonight, you'll find out just how good he is.

Burchill: Chris, when you won the Masters of Pain tournament by torturing Vito Thomaselli the way you did, you might have thought that made you "extreme". It didn't. All it did was prove the vile little creature that you are. You are precisely the sort of human being so devoid of conscience that I had to battle for so many months when Raven was still around. This time, I plan to nip a cancer in the bud early. Vito told me have a job to do tonight and, do me a favour, Chris... When you're looking up at those bright arena lights, thinking about how you lost your shot at the title, don't think of me; think of him and what you did to him!

The camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

As one might expect, the match is an all out war.

The Innovators take an early advantage capitalising on the numbers game and their willing use of weaponry.

However, Hatred starts to come back.

In the twelfth minute, Hatred is whipped to the ropes.

DOUBLE DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

No! Both Cactus and Dreamer duck underneath.

DOUBLE DDT!

Joey: Yes they've got him.

Cactus covers.

1...2...kickout!

Taz: My god, this guy is incredible!

The Innovators hoist him up again.

Double DDT!

1...2...kickout!

Callis: This is ridiculous!

They pull him up again.

DOUBLE DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Taz: How is this even possible?!

Rather than cover Hatred heads to the outside to grab a table.

As he pulls it from beneath the ring, it becomes clear that it is wrapped in barbed wire.

Joey: Oh no!

Hatred sets it up beside the apron and slides pack in.

He picks up Cactus Jack but cactus starts to fight back.

A brawl breaks out between them.

Dreamer slides out to grab a singapore cane.

Cactus hits a back elbow on Hatred...

...DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Taz: The impact of that damn clothesline!

Dreamer slides back in with the cane.

CANE SHOT.

No! Hatred ducks.

DECAPIT...

No! Dreamer ducks.

CANE SHOT!

And another...

...and another.

Callis: Go, Tommy!

The cane starts to splinter but Dreamer does not stop.

The monster staggers back against the ropes, seemingly concussed.

DREAMER DDT!

1...2...Kickout!

Callis: What the hell is this guy made of... granite?!

Dreamer picks him up.

DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Joey: Oh god!

James Mitchell picks up a mic.

Mitchell: Nathan... just pin them. Get the win. Destroy them after.

Hatred covers Dreamer.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B+

Callis: God damn it.

Joey: His list grows.

Taz: And now we have to see this... brutality.

Hatred bundles cactus Jack out to the apron while Dreamer is still out cold.

As Cactus struggles to maintain his balance... or his wits, Hatred sticks up his middle fingers to the crowd.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Rhino appears in the ring.

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

Hatred turns to see what the fans are reacting to.

GORE!

Hatred flies off the apron and goes crashing through the barbed-wire table.

The fans go nuts!

Joey: OH MY GOD!

Callis: It's Rhino! Rhino just took out Nate Hatred!

Taz: The unstoppable force just met the immovable object... and I think the unstoppable force won!

Rhino glares down from the ring at the Sinister Minister, who quickly exits through the crowd.

Rhino grabs a mic.

Rhino: "ECW's Most Extreme Athlete"? Who the f**k do you think you're kidding?! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THE DOMINANCE OF NATE HATRED! You don't know the meaning of the word, Nate. I was ending careers when you were still in some sh*tty, backwater garbage promotion. If you've got some sort of point to prove, then prove it to the Man Beast. Because you're not choosing your next legend Nate. I'M CHOOSING YOU!

Alexis: I can't believe that arrogant little bitch!

Punk: Where the hell were you two?!

Goliath looks shocked.

Goliath: In case you hadn't noticed, we were busy trying to save your ass earlier tonight... which we did by the way. Exactly how much punishment do you expect us to take?

Punk: Whatever is necessary.

Goliath: Here's a thought... have you ever tried winning a match on your own.

Punk slaps Goliath.

Punk: You do not talk back to me!

Abyss hold his head in his hands and starts shaking like a madman.

Abyss: We're sorry! we're sorry! We'll be good!

Punk: Sort it the f**k out! We look like amateurs out there!

The camera cuts back to ringside.

Bob Artese: Ladies and gentleman, the following contest is a two out of three falls contest comprised of twelve five minute rounds for the Extreme Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship. Introducing your judges for this evening's main event: The Hardcore Legend, Terry Funk; and former boxing World Heavyweight Champions both, The Sandman and Owen Hart!

The most hated music in ECW blares out as Chris Hero makes his way to the ring.

He offers his hand to slap to the fans as he walks to the ring. Most refuse. The chorus of boos is deafening

...and, then, the arena is plunged into darkness. The response from the crowd is equally deafening.

As we have now come to expect, gold confetti falls from the rafters as a spotlight follows the World Heavyweight Champion down the aisle-way.

Burchill wears his yellow and black boxing-style ring robe with "New Franchise" written across the back.

Once again, he is accompanied by his mentor and his girlfriend.

Douglas proudly carries his protege's title for all to see.

As they reach the apron, Burchill and Douglas hold the ropes apart for Kelly to step through.

She poses in the middle of the ring as Douglas hands Burchill his title.

The World Heavyweight Champion steps through the ropes and, as he lifts his belt high in the air, gold fireworks rise from the turnbuckles.

As the arena lights return, the atmosphere is electric.

Hero and Burchill walk to the centre of the ring and trade insults.

Bob Artese: Introducing first, in the corner to my right, the challenger... weighing in at 225lbs and standing at 6 feet 4 tall, he is The reigning Extreme Championship Wrestling Master of Pain and the self-proclaimed "Saviour of ECW"... Chris Hero!

Bob Artese: ...and in the corner to my left... weighing in at 247lbs and standing at 6 feet 4 inches, he is only the fifth man to achieve th ECW Triple Crown and he is the current, reigning and defending Extreme Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion... "The New Franchise"... Paul Burchill!

Kendra Wilkinson again acts as the ring girl, holding up the sign signalling the beginning of the first round.

As the bell rings, Burchill immediately runs to meet Hero with a Dropkick.

He follows up with a Standing Moonsault.

Callis: "The New Franchise" means business.

He then sprawls on top of Hero, preventing him from moving.

He locks in an armbar, but Hero is a long way from tapping.

he moves to a full mount and lands several stiff elbow strikes to the head of the number one contender.

He continues to somther the challenger and stay in control.

Towards the end of the round, he applies a tight wristlock and Hero cries out in pain.

Joey: Oh! There's irony for you! Shades of what Hero did to Vito Thomaselli last week...

End of Round 1

The two competitors head to their corners.

Burchill is congratulated by his mentor, while Hero looks slightly panicked.

Round 2

The second round picks up exactly where the first left off.

Hero charges in for a Clothesline...

He takes control of Hero's back and lands more strikes to Hero's face, this time with his forearms.

He then transitions into a Crossface and again Hero cries out in Pain.

Hero puts his hand on the bottom rope.

Callis: Haha no! There is no longer a ropebreak rule in ECW since the CoDE!

Hero is forced to tap.

As the two men return to standing, Hero is given twenty seconds to recover.

Burchill charges right back in but Hero thumbs him in the eye.

Joey: Oh, come on!

Spinebuster by Hero.

But the round come to an end.

Referee John Finnegan warns Hero for the foulplay.

Again, Burchill is congratulated by Douglas and Hero looks even more worried than before.

Round 3

Burchill hits a stiff elbow drop on Hero and heads up top.

Moonsault!

No! Hero moved.

Hero scrambles in for the cover.

But this time he pulls Hero back to standing.

Lowblow!

HERO'S WELCOME!

1...2...3!

Taz: ...and there it is.

Callis: But only off the back of a cheap shot!

John Finnegan warns Chris Hero and instructs the judges to take a point off.

Taz: Well, he has lost a point for it.

In the time Burchill is allowed to recover, the round ends.

End of Round 3

Hero now begins to look smug in his corner while Douglas tells Burchill not to panic.

Joey: Well despite Burchill's early dominance, we are now poised at one fall all. The next fall, of course, will decide the fate of the Championship. Taz, how is your take on the scorecard looking?

Taz: Well, by my reckoning, Joey, the champ still has a two point advantage after Hero's deduction.

Hero uses the opportunity to hit another thumb to the eye.

Callis: Oh come on.

Taz: John Finnegan didn't see it!

Hero hits a Discus Forearm.

But Vito Thomaselli appears at the entrance-way. The pop is enormous.

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

He walks to the ring, chair in hand and with no cast or strapping on his injured wrist.

Hero stares in disbelief.

Joey: It's Vito! He's back!

Taz: And, somehow, I think the Enforcers aren't gonna bother with this...

Callis: Haha, I think you're right, Taz!

Vito slides in as Hero backs away to the corner.

Burchill stands and sees what is happening.

He stands aside, giving Vito a free shot at Hero.

"F**k him up Vito! F**k him up!"

Joey: Do it Vito!

Callis: Give the little wretch what he deserves!

Even the referee seems okay with the situation.

Vito lifts the chair and delivers perhaps the most sickening chair shot ever heard...

...to Paul Burchill!

Joey: What the hell?!

Callis: What the hell is he doing?!

Burchill crumples to the floor as the crowd jeers.

Kelly, in particular, looks completely dumbstruck.

Vito lifts up "The New Franchise".

VITO DRIVER ON THE STEEL!

The young Italian then leaves as quickly as he came to a chorus of boos.

Hero covers.

Joey: No!

Callis: God, no!

Taz: Why Vito?! WHY?!

Time for some new branding, I feel, to reflect the new roster. Plus, I never much liked the old Blood, Sweat and Beers vid, anyway <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.

Saturday, week 1, January

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, as always, alongside me is former World Heavyweight Champion and ECW Triple Crown winner, Taz... Taz, what the hell happened last night?!

Taz: I honestly have no clue, Joe... Vito... I mean... I just don't know.

Joey: Last night, ladies and gentlemen, at Got Blood?, Vito Thomaselli inexplicably cost his long time friend Paul Burchill the World Heavyweight Championship.

Taz: ...meaning that Chris Hero is our new Champion.

Joey: Don't remind me!

Taz: Surely, Joey, he'll have to explain his actions tonight.

Joey: You'd think so, Taz, but I don't know what possiblle explanation there could be.

Taz: ...and then, of course, there is the Dudley family secret!

Joey: Now, loathe as I would usually be to discuss that because of its implications, I'm still struggling to come to terms with our prior topic of conversation.

Taz: Well, Joey, what better way to take your mind off it than with championship wrestling?

Joey: Fair point, Taz. No less than three ECW titles are on the line tonight and our first match is right now.

ECW World Television Championship Match

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

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterio.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/FrancineTV.jpg

The two luchadores put on a solid opening match.

Despite some exciting, back-and-forth chain wrestling, Guerrera maintains an air of control throughout.

He wins with a Juvi Driver at 11:17.

Match Rating: B-

<div style="text-align:center;">Rob Van Dam and Traci appear at the entrance-way

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg</div>

RVD: Impressive, Juvi, my man.

Guerrera and Francine look up the aisle-way at Van Dam.

RVD: This is a huge run of form you've been on lately, man... Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, Ultimo Dragon... it reminds me of me a few years ago... beating challengers for that Television belt left, right and centre.

Juvi smiles, accepting the praise.

RVD: And, I gotta say man it's got me itching. So, if you want a real challlenge for that strap, Juvi, look no further than Mister P-P-V... Rob Van Dam!

The fans chant along as Juvi nods, seemingly accepting the idea.

Juvi: Mr. pay-per-view, eh, Rob? Well, this is the World Television Championship and I fully intend to live up to its name so, rather than wait 'til Living Dangerously, how about you and me for this here title on Monday Night Revolution?

The crowd pops as both champion and challenger applaud the notion.

Taz: Man is it great to have a fighting TV champ on ECW.

Joey: And one who is willing to defend against all challengers each and every week.

<div style="text-align:center;">The camera cuts to the back.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg</div>

Michaels: Paul E, I want Punk again tonight! I'm sick of losing to that cheating piece of crap!

Heyman:: No.

Michaels: Excuse me?!

Heyman: What, Shawn, you want me to just keep booking the same damn match over and over? What happens if you lose ag...

Michaels: I won't.

Heyman: You might.

Michaels: Are you question my perfor...

Heyman: No, never... but I am questioning your brainpower at this particular moment.

Michaels: Come again?!

Heyman: Shawn, it's not Punk that's beating you. It's a numbers game. Every time, Monsters Inc. shows up. So, why not deal with that problem first?

Michaels: And what do you propose?

Heyman: How do you feel about another Whole F**kin' Show reunion tonight?

Michaels smiles.

Michaels: That'll work.

The camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ScorpioSky.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RickyMarvinIAA.jpg

The two high flyers put on an entertaining match but it clearly suffers from a lack of name value.

Ricky Marvin wins with a Shining Wizard in the ninth minute.

Match Rating: D

<div style="text-align:center;">The new World Champion is seen arriving ath arena.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHeroWorld.jpg</div>

There are deafening boos from the crowd in response to the camera feed.

<div style="text-align:center;">As the camera cuts back to ringside, the Dudley family is in the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg</div>

STD: Oh, my uncles, last night at Got Blood?, amidst the sweltering heat of flaming tables, Dick and I, The Second Generation retained our Undisputed World Tag Team Titles. And that means...

D-Von: We damn well no what it means! You wanted to open this pandora's box and it looks like you have but we warned you, Slyk. We warned you!

STD: So...?

D-Von: Oh my brother... Testify!

Bubba shakes his head, shocked.

Bubba: W..W...Wait. W...Why am I going first?

Taz: First?! What does that mean?

Joey: I dread to think!

D-Von shakes his head too.

D-Von: Oh fine. Slyk...

He sighs.

D-Von: Slyk...

STD: ...Tayshaun Dudley... yes, that is my name.

D-Von: Slyk... I am your father!

Taz: What?

Joey: The hell is going on?

STD: You're... you're my father? But I thought Big Dick...

D-Von: No... son.

D-Von hugs his bastard offspring but Slyk pulls away.

STD: But that means you must know my momma.

D-Von: Yeah, about that...

<div style="text-align:center;">Suddenly, a female behemoth strides to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VoodooDudley.jpg</div>

Joey: Is... is that Kong?!

Taz: Again... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

Kong steps into the ring.

STD: Momma? Kong?

Kong nods. She and STD embrace.

D-Von: My son, this is your mother...

Kong grabs the mic.

Kong: Damn it, clown. I can speak for myself. Slyk, I am your momma but my name... my real name is Voodoo Dudley.

STD: But I don't get it... why was this such a big secret?

Voodoo: Why was this such a big secret, D-Von?

D-Von frowns.

Voodoo: Did I not tell you the child would know?

D-Von: Yess'um.

Voodoo: I mean, did I not say... did I not say exactly that... that the child would find out?

D-Von: Yess'um.

Voodoo: I mean, time and time again did I not...

D-Von: GOD DAMN IT, DEJA! YES YOU TOLD ME!

Slyk realises.

STD: Oh... right.

Dick Jr: Hold on, Uncle D-Von. Why you call her Deja?

Voodoo: Yeah, clown, why did you call me Deja?

D-Von: Because...

Voodoo: Have I not told you I don't like that name?

D-Von: You have... but as I was saying...

Voodoo: I mean I really, really do not l...

D-Von: DAMN IT, WOMAN!

Voodoo looks shocked.

D-Von: That. Exactly that... is why she's called "Deja" Voodoo Dudley.

Daizy now interjects.

Daizy: Okay, okay... much as I don't want to stop the love-in, why did Uncle Bubba mention going first?

D-Von: Time to testify my brother.

Bubba: D... Di... D.. D. D... Di...

D-Von slaps his brother.

Bubba: Dick...

Dick Jr: Uh-huh.

Bubba: I am your father!

Taz: Do they not keep birth records in Dudleyville?

Joey: Apparently, they can't keep their pants on in Dudleyville, Taz. So, I don't quite know what you're expecting.

Dick Jr: So, who's my momma?

D-Von: Are you kidding, my nephew? Look at you... Nicole Bass wasn't kidding when she said she was your momma!

Daizy: So, why the secrecy about that?

D-Von falls about laughing as Bubba looks shy.

Daizy: What?! What is so funny?

D-Von: Really?! Bubba... he f**ked Nicole Bass!

Bubba: It was a strange time for me!

Dick Jr: It's okay, papa. I still love you.

Bubba: Of course you do... she's your mother.

Dick Jr: Uh huh... but even I'm wondering what you were thinking.

D-Von collapses to the canvas laughing.

Bubba: Damn it, D-Von, you never shut up about the family image...

D-Von: Aah, family image be damned... you were one desperate mo'f**ker weren't you, my brother?

Daizy: Okay... so, now I've gotta ask. Who the hell are my parents?

Deja Voodoo: Child, as far as we know, Big Dick really did get freaky with Salma Hayek.

Daizy looks relieved.

Banzai: ...and what about me?

The whole clan stares at him quizically.

D-Von: Your Japanese... how the f**k should we know?!

Ultimo Dudley II nods.

Banzai: Fair enough.

The whole clan embraces in the centre of the ring.

Taz: Well, that's... touching.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RobVanDam.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShawnMichaels2.jpg

In a fair numbers game, the monsters look far less dominant and the superior teamwork of the Whole F**kin' Show shines through.

In the tenth minute, RVD hits a Van Daminator on Abyss, who tumbles out to ringside.

Goliath grabs RVD from behind but he is elbowed in the face...

...he stumbles backwards into SWEET CHIN MUSIC!

The giant falls into a seated position in the corner.

Michaels grabs the chair and heads out to the apron, holding the steel in fron of Goliath's face.

RVD heads up the opposite turnbuckle and points his thumbs.

VAN TERMINATOR!

Michaels covers.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B

<div style="text-align:center;">The most hated music in ECW blares out.

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/PmjmKrOT0-c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Hero"></iframe></div></div> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="

The boos are deafening as Hero heads to the ring.

Hero: When I arrived in Extreme Championship Wrestling, I promised to save it from the sorry state that it was in one quality wrestling match at a time... and here I stand, eight months later, as the World Heavyweight Champion. You see, Paul Burchill did nothing for the image of this company. I mean, a British guy who needs a has been like Shane Douglas on mic duties just to get over... give me a break!

The boos continue.

Hero: And, on that note, the first thing I want to say is that I am scrapping this ridiculous 12 five minute rounds for the title rule! We don't need any archaic British traditions stinking up a company I've worked so tirelessly to resurrect.

Taz: Who does this idiot think he's kidding?

"F**k you Hero! F** you Hero!"

Hero: Listen, you schmucks... I am your champion... I am your Hero and it's about damn time you showed me some respect!

<div style="text-align:center;">Suddenly, Mark Calaway appears at the entrance way to a huge pop.

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

Taker: Respect is something that's earned, boy!

Hero looks furious.

Hero: Who the hell are you to call me "boy", old man? I am the World H...

Taker: You ain't my champion, you snivelling little sh*t!

Hero shakes with rage.

Taker: And you and I have got unfinished business from your cheap victory over me last week as far as I can see. More interestingly, though, Paul E seems to agree.

Hero's face drops.

Taker: That's right, sh*thead... your first defence, at Living Dangerously, is against the dead man!

ECW Lioness Championship Match

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

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NattyLioness.jpg

The two lionesses still do not seem like the most over talents on the roster.

However, the crowd is clearly behind Nathalie.

She feeds off the crowd and, without the Monsters to help Alexis, she takes the advantage.

In the eighth minute, she forces Alexis to tap to a Sharpshooter.

Match Rating: C-

<div style="text-align:center;">Vito Thomaselli heads to the ring, mic in hand.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg</div>

The reaction seems somewhat confused but most jeer his appearance.

Again, he has no strapping on his injured wrist.

Taz: Here he is Joey!

Joey: I wonder what the hell he has to say.

Upon reaching the ring Vito stops and smiles, seemingly soaking in the atmosphere.

Vito: "Why Vito? Why?" That's all I've heard over the last twenty four hours.

Taz: Damn right!

Vito: Well, my actions last night were not my fault! They were the fault of three men: Paul Burchill, Paul Heyman and Charlie Pag!

Joey: What the hell is he talking about?

Vito: Do you remember back in August? I beat Raven clean for the World Heavyweight Title at Heatwave! I beat him and I was denied my reign. You want to know why? Backstage politics...

Joey: What?!

Vito: I know all you ECW "smart marks" want a good "shoot promo". Well, let me assure you my friends, this is a shoot!

Taz: Let's hear it then.

Vito: Those who read the dirtsheets, will know that the man you know as the "New Franchise" is nothing short of a cancer on this industry! He expects a gold-plated career deliverd on a silver platter and the chump bookers back there are willing to give it to him... yes, that means you Paul E... you're not a "chief talent officer", you're a booker!

Taz: Is this going where I think it's going?

Joey: My advice, Taz, is don't say anything more... just in case.

Vito: They had this talented rookie on their roster... and, for the slower among you, I'm talking about me here... he amply showed his in-ring skills and he was getting over with the fans. They stuck me in some midcard stable but I outgrew it. So, they gave me the All Action Tile but I outgrew that too. So, they gave me the TV Strap. A new star was on the horizon... and then... THEY STUCK ME IN THE F**KING NEW AGE ENTERPRISE! I was a singles star on the rise, capable of helping to carry this promotion into the future but no! They stick me right back as just another lacky in a heel stable. F**king great! And why? Because Raven was the legendary champ and Paul f**king Burchill was the annointed one. Oh yeah... Charlie Pag and Paul Heyman decided long ago that Paul Burchill would be the one whose merchandise you idiots would be lapping up in the new era.

The crowd boos.

Vito: But, still, while they tried to hold me down in favour of their chosen one, my talent was too much to deny. So, after they humiliated me by making me Raven's whipping boy for a few months, they gave me another singles push. I left the Nest and, I have to hand it to them, they wrote this really beautiful story. Two proteges in Punk and I vying for their teacher's affections until it reached breaking point and Vito finally snapped. And the feud with the Nest was great... so primal; so emotive. When Punk threw Kelly off the sound stage... Man, that was brilliant TV! And they pushed me all the way to the World Title... only to strip it from me. Why? So, Paul f**king Burchill could hold it in my stead... because they'd decided. Somehow, they thought he just deserved it... the arrogant c*nt!

The boos continue.

Vito: And this brings me on to my next point. You want to know why I'm not wearing strapping on my wrist? Because it's not fractured!

Taz: Wait! What?!

Vito: And Taz...

Vito turns to face the announce team.

Vito: I bet you're doing a great job of trying to sell surprise on the TV feed but cut the sh*t... IT'S A F**KING STORY YOU IDIOTS! IT'S JUST MAKE BELIEVE!

Joey: Oh my god... can we...?

Taz: Yeah, like now...

Vito: AND I'M F**KING SICK OF IT! Every single one of these damn stories Paul E comes up with ends up with Paul Burchill on top of the world and a true talent like me being held down! So, Paul Burchill...

There is a huge pop.

Vito: He ain't coming out here, by the way! How can he? How can they stick their golden boy champion on TV when they haven't even worked out how to react to this yet?

Taz: Guys! Cut the feed already!

Vito: So, I've got to f**king stomach hearing about the "genius booking" in ECW when I know it's a croc of sh*t guided by backstage politics! When I know it's gonna be the thing that prevents my career from really taking off. I'M DONE! I'M DONE WITH STORIES AND MAKE BELIEVE AND BOWING DOWN TO THE NEW F**KING FRANCHISE!

Vito Takes a breath.

Vito: Oh, you wanted a shoot, didn't you? THIS IS A F**KING SHOOT! And so is my beef with Paul Burchill. I HATE YOUR F**KING GUTS PAUL! AND I HATE THAT THESE IGNORANT MORONS LOVE YOU! So, Paul... and Paul E, this is a promise...

The mic feed cuts out.

Vito smirks and slams down the microphone as the feed fades to black.

Show Rating: C+

Wasn't around here when this started and never really tried to catch up but that last show was awesome. Is there any sort of recap for anyone wanting to catch up/too lazy to read it all?

Edit: whilst looking back I just noticed that I asked something very similar about a year back! Think I'll just have a look at the first page
