Post by EHWF Management on Jul 11, 2014 20:50:31 GMT -5
The scene opens up as the fireworks begin to go off in the arena and the official opening theme song of EHWF Friday Night Mayhem, "Hurt Somebody" by Akon, is playing over the PA system.
The camera pans around the whole arena, showing all the screaming fans on their feet ready for another night full of action. After a few moments of the fans going crazy, the camera pans down to ringside, where the best announcers to have ever lived, Steve White and Chuck Thompson sit.
Steve White: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Friday Night Mayhem! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better… It does! Trial of Tears was an incredible event that stunned the world! It will surely go down in history as one of EHWF’s greatest PPV’s of all time! Ultimately we saw David Smith retain against Silver Kazama in a shocking main event.
Chuck Thompson: Yeah that’s right Steve, Silver failed to defeat David GS yet again and now that arrogant asshole is our champion going into Scars and Stripes… Speaking of Scars and Stripes… We’re officially on the path to Scars & Stripes tonight! It’s going to be an amazing lead up to the biggest wrestling event in the world Steve!
Steve White: That’s right Chuck, not only has management promised a super Scars and Stripes main event but they’ve set up several ‘Impress Me’ matches to rank everyone in on the card at the PPV! Which few superstars will get the chance to fight in the main event against David Smith for the world title!?
Chuck Thompson: Well we’ll find out in the coming weeks but we’re also going to apparently see the new EHWF owner tonight! The company was bought during the middle of the week and the new owner has rumoured to want to make an appearance! I honestly can’t wait to find out who it is but speaking of management, The Chairman Black Man answers to the Board about his recent actions and fuck ups!
Steve White: Tonight will really be an eventful night Chuck but first up tonight, we find out just who the first man to hit the card at Scars and Stripes is as the following match is a qualifier for the Hardcore Championship match at the PPV! Lets get it started Chuck!
We pan to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This opening match is set for one fall and it is for the opportunity to fight at Scars and Stripes for the Hardcore Championship!
"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails would blare over the P.A System, as Van Jameson would step out from behind the curtain with a smirk across his face. His attention focused on the ring as he marched down the ramp with a blank stare, ignoring the crowd around him. He would walk up the steps and step inside the ring, immediately motioning for a microphone.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Van Jameson!
“Take em Out” by Rev Theory suddenly blares through the speakers and the titantron comes to life as Daniel Creed appears out from backstage and walks to the top of the entrance ramp with his signature bat in his hand, dragging behind him. Dressed in a normal pair of jeans and a t-shirt complete with the leather biker vest and wrapped hands he looks more like he is ready for a street fight then a wrestling match, he lifts the bat from the ground and points it down at the ring before bringing the bat down to rest on his shoulder and starts his march down to the ring. Once at ringside he takes a couple of practice swings at the steel steps and a clank rinks trough the arena with every strike, once he is done he lays his weapon down by the steps and makes his way into the ring where he removes his vest and shirt dropping them outside on top of the steel steps and waits in his corner for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Conner Creed!
DING DING DING!
Creed and Van Jam stare across from each other. They circle each other for a while before locking up in the center! Creed knees Van in the midsection and forces him into the corner! Creed starts hammering Jam with massive shots to the face! Creed pulls Van back and then whips him into the opposing turnbuckle! Creed follows up with a massive corner clothesline! Van Jam falls to his knees grabbing the ropes for refuge but Creed runs up and clotheslines him over the top rope to the outside! The fans cheer as Creed taunts out to them. A furious Van Jam gets up on the outside but Creed runs up and dives over the top rope, hitting Van Jam with a massive crossbody on the outside!
Steve White: And Conner Creed off to a great start her tonight, performing big moves and dominating Van Jam. Creed was about a millimeter from winning the Jr Heavyweight Championship last week in one of the greatest matches I’ve seen. He looks still beat up from last week but he’s not acting like it! He’s all over Van Jam here tonight!
Chuck Thompson: Well we could be looking at our next Hardcore Champion in Creed but we all know Van Jam could end this instantly with a dreaded Van Jaminator!
Creed picks up Van Jam on the outside then tosses him right into the barricade! Van screams out in pain holding his neck. Creed shakes his head is disgust and picks Van Jam up once again! He ploughs Van right into the apron, crushing his torso! Creed grabs Van by the hair and rolls him back into the ring! Creed gets into the ring and picks Van up, tossing him into the corner! Creed takes a run up but Van jumps up and desperately drives his boot into Creeds face! The fans cheer as Van gets back up and hammers Creed in the face with big rights! Van then takes Creed to the mat with a hip and shoulder then takes a rest a ropes.
Steve White: Van Jam really fighting back into this match but he’s hurt! The damage is done and Creed may be down but he can smell blood!
Chuck Thompson: Creed wants this Hardcore Championship opportunity at Scars and Stripes! He needs it! He’s not going to let Van Jam stop him even with the Van Jaminator!
Creed gets up and Van Jam runs over hitting him with a knee to the midsection. Van Jam puts him between his legs and goes for a move but Creed lifts him up and hits him with a big body drop! Van Jam rolls around in pain, holding his back! Van Jam forces himself up to his feet but Creed runs up and takes him out with a massive clothesline from hell! Creed, feeling the effects of last week, recovers in the corner and takes a seat.
Steve White: And now Creed is showing the effects of what Aubree put him through last week in that grueling and extreme Last Man Standing match. He needs to take a moment here to recover but this is giving Van time to get up.
Chuck Thompson: Creed can’t over do it, he’s still in not 100% shape tonight but he can’t afford to let Van run away with this one here!
Creed gets up and picks up Van Jam! Suddenly a recovered Van Jam springs up and hits Creed with a massive Van Jaminator! The fans go wild as Creed hits the mat in complete pain and shock! Van Jam gets up and starts taunting out to the fans. They give him a mixed reaction, which angers him. He turns away from Creed on the mat and starts to rage at the fans that rage back! An argument erupts and while it does, a pissed off Conner Creed gets up and stalks Van Jam from behind!
Steve White: He’s up! Creed is up after that Van Jaminator!
Chuck Thompson: Van Jam took too long arguing with these fans he’s pissed off and Creed is waiting for him! Van better not turn around or pray that he has another Van Jaminator left in him!
Van Jam turns around only to be leveled with another massive Clothesline From Hell! Creed raises his arms in victory and points to the Scars and Stripes sign before covering Van Jam!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… Conner Creed!
Creed gets up and rolls Van out of the ring. He looks around and raises his arms in victory under the Scars and Stripes sign. He then gestures around his waist that he’ll be the next Hardcore Champion. We fade out to the backstage area.
We see Brandon Bash walking up the hallway. He stops at a door and knocks before entering inside. We come in to see Joanna Isabella-Rissi behind her desk. She greets Brandon with a smile and Brandon eagerly fakes one back.
Brandon Bash: Hey, what’s up?
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Hey, not much. Just going though some matches on the card for next week.
Brandon takes a look over the table at the paperwork.
Brandon Bash: Oh, I’m sure whatever you come up with will be fine. In fact, don’t worry about the paperwork you’ll have to do for the card, I’ll take care of it.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Oh thanks…
Steve White: I’m still confused why Bash is acting all nice to Joanna all of a sudden. We saw it at Trial of Tears and again tonight… Why the change of heart?
Joanna grins at Bash as he backs off.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Sorry if your new nice guy act has thrown me off a bit… Are you sure you haven’t heard anything? Are you sure no one has told you anything?
Bash looks shocked that Joanna would ask him such a question.
Brandon Bash: What’re you talking about!? I’ve heard nothing, what an Earth do you mean!?
Joanna raises one eyebrow, not convinced. Bash looks nervous and eventually leans over the table and comes clean with a pleading emotive expression on his face.
Brandon Bash: All right! Fine! The other Board Members told me! You caught me all right, that’s why I was acting all nice!
Steve White: Wait… Told him what? They told him what!?
Brandon Bash: Listen, Joanna, regardless of what we think of each other and regardless of these recent developments… You have to let me do my job! You have to let me do what I’ve been working to do for so long! You have to let me successfully get rid of Black Man! He shouldn’t be Chairman… I can only do it with your help!
Bash looks down.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: I agree…
Bash looks up, surprised.
Brandon Bash: Really! So you’ll let me do this!?
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: You’ve got my support, for tonight.
Bash edges closer to the door and nods at Joanna.
Brandon Bash: If you won’t interfere then I’ll handle my business and we can talk afterwards… I assume everything will go down tonight, so you me and you know who will have much to discuss. I’ll end Black Man now and then we can focus on our issues…
Bash dashes out, leaving Joanna deep in thought.
Steve White: Wait, who told him what and what does she have over him dammit?
We fade out back to the arena where Patricia Downs is ready to introduce the next match.
Patricia Downs: This following match is set for one fall!
As the opening keys to "How The Gods Kill" begin to softly echo through the arena, the lights dimming with them, a hush falls over the crowd. Austin Cross steps out from behind the curtain slowly, coming to a stop in the center of the stage, his eyes never leaving the ground. His eyes trace the crowd before he snaps his head back, mumbling lowly along with Danzig's haunting words. His jacket, a ratty old leather jacket emblazoned with his Cross logo hangs from his shoulders, casting off a haunting image as he extends his hands outward. After soaking in the murmurs of the crowd, Cross makes his way down the ramp, lips contorting into a smug smile as his heavy footfalls rebound on the cold steel. Austin pauses briefly to smile at a young boy in the front row before climbing the steel steps, exaggeratedly wiping his boots before ducking the top rope and kneeling in the middle of the ring.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Austin Cross!
Linkin Parks "Guilty All The Same" begins to play on the audio system. It is accompanied by red and yellow flashes, which light up the various aisles. Rain appears at the top of the entrance ramp, staring at the crowd. He has dark grey combat armour on, futuristic in appearance. It's skintight and covers all but his face. His hair is slicked back and he has slight stubble. He makes his way down the ramp, taking his time, approaching the ring cautiously. He stalks the combat zone for a few seconds before slithering underneath the bottom ropes and into the ring. He approaches the referee and has a quiet word in his ear. His music fades.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Rain!
DING DING DING!
The match begins with Rain rushing Cross and taking him down to the mat! Rain starts to pummel Cross with left and right hands on the mat in a vicious ground and pound! Rain gets up and starts stomping out Cross as the fans give off a mixed reaction. The calculating Rain takes his time, picking apart Cross’ limbs with a big stomp!
Steve White: Bah Gawd! Rain just taking it to Cross right now, not fooling around at all!
Chuck Thompson: Rain doesn’t want to waste his time. He doesn’t need to impress against someone like Austin Cross, he’s Rain!
Rain picks up Cross and drives him into the corner! He continues his domination of Cross by whipping him to the center then pulling him back and hitting him with the Hexproof making quick work of him! Rain quickly covers Cross!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… Rain!
Rain rolls Cross out of the ring and raises his arms in celebration as his music goes off. He gives an evil grin as he stares at the Scars and Stripes sign on the roof.
Steve White: Well Rain made really quick work out of Austin Cross here tonight, treating him like a little bitch and definitely impressing here tonight!
We fade out to a commercial as Rain smirks.
We come back to the ring to see four High backed redwood chairs sitting in a semi-circle in the center of the ring. In the center seat sat none other than the "Sin Incarnate" Sah'ta Thor. He was dress in his ring attire and was ready to get down to business.
Sah'ta Thor: Welcome to another edition of the Bloodworks. The last one we had revealed the fate of Scott Paine for our match at Retribution. Tonight will be just as exciting if not more so. There are several things on the agenda for tonight so let me get started. First off let me introduce to you one of the newest members of the EHWF roster and someone I know will be making an impact soon enough."
On that cue "Welcome to the Jungle" starts to play from the speakers. Savannah steps out from the back, dressed in her ring wear even though she has no match that night. She steps quickly down the aisle, stopping here and there to greet and talk with- even tease a few of the crowd who remember her from one place or another.
She finally makes her way to the ring, slipping inside and running a hand over one of the tall chairs as her music runs its course.
Savannah: Well… these bring back memories.
Sah'ta Thor: I present to you "The Wildcat" Savannah.
Thor pauses with a smirk before chuckling slightly at her comment.
Sah'ta Thor: It doesn't doesn't it? So tell the world what you think of the EHWF so far.
Savannah: Well, I wish they could have held up on their Hardcore title matches a few weeks but, otherwise…. Well it beats the last big fed I was at.
Sah'ta Thor: Indeed. Though on the Hardcore Title match front there will be a big deal at Scars & Stripes if you can get into that. So any words for the roster now that you are here?
Thor smiles slightly as he takes a quick look around before shaking his head slightly. Savannah smiles looking towards the back.
Savannah: Welcome, boys and girls, to the Wild Cat's lair. I'm here, I'm on the prowl and I'm hungry!
Sah'ta Thor: Well put Sav...With being said is there anyone on the roster that you really want to work with?
Savannah nods.
Savannah: Well, right now I'm willing to work with anyone who's willing to work with me. That said, you want to get on my bad side? Screw with me in the ring.
Sah'ta Thor: I remember when it was screw with you period.
Savannah: Always the smart ass. You know you and Wilde weren't that different in that respect. But you're right- and more. Screw with me in the ring, out of the ring. Screw with my friends, my family, my loved ones and I will have you regretting it so fast it will make your fucking head swim!
She smirks at him.
Savannah: Better?
Thor nods slowly as he takes a deep breath. Savannah nods before taking the seat on Thor's right hand side.
Sah'ta Thor: Much. Now moving on to my next piece of business. I told you all that tonight would mark the official rise of Insidious as a group. So I present to you the first of two just signed newcomers to the EHWF… first we have Jared Buxton who has been banned from competing in North America for - I believe there are still eight months left on that ban? But that doesn’t mean he can’t he a valuable part of Insidious.
The opening of Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now” rings out over the speakers, and out steps a man… an unassuming man, it must be said, of average height and a wiry build, with a huge shaggy beard and a baseball cap casting a shadow over his eerily vacant eyes. He ignores the fans entirely as he skulks to the ring, shaking his head a little every so often. He rolls under the bottom rope and crosses over to Thor, nods once, then heads to a corner and sits down cross-legged, scratching behind his ear absently.
Sah'ta Thor: As can see Jared doesn't like to talk much. Which brings us to the second EHWF newcomer. In fact, Sav you may know him from somewhere. I would like to introduce you to my protege, Aaron Fredrick Hudson!
The opening notes to Godsmack's "Bad Religion" blare through the arena as a man in blue jeans and random t-shirt with black boots, a black leather belt and a black fedora comes out from the back. He had the look of a man who could handle himself in the ring and was recognizable as a man who had been part of Thor's promo a few times over the years. At his side came a blond woman in a form fitting grey business suit and skirt combo. The pair make their way to the ring and take the remaining seats on Thor's left.
Sah'ta Thor: Welcome to the Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation Aaron.
Aaron Fredrick Hudson: Hell if a talentless hack like Mike Maddox can keep a job here than some one of my abilities should be able to find a place here. Here is a warning to all of the people in the back, I am not someone you want to mess with. There is much to be said about being part of Insidious but I will save that until a later time just know that in the end we will win this war. Oh, you don't know that war has been declared well wake up it was declared at Trial of Tears when Sah'ta Thor ambushed Billy Ryder and busted his head open on the North American Championship. My only question for you is are you ready for the future?
Thor eyes Savannah for a minute as she had not made clear her opinion of teaming with as a member of Insidious. Yet, for that he actually knew where she stood and that was going to make things interesting in the coming days.
Sah'ta Thor: So Sav are you with us or have you forgotten how I you were turned into what you are today? After all, you are probably Insidious's greatest triumph from back in the days you were running with the Youthful Image pack. Or has the bad blood from IWF destroyed that history? If you are not with us Sav you have one chance to leave this ring."
Savannah looks… surprisingly thoughtful to anyone who knew her history with Thor. Or maybe it was that history that she was thinking over- soon out loud.
Savannah: I… Look Thor. you saw who I stand with in Yokahama when Velvet brought me to you. But… it's not that simple. There are others in my life now- others who don't put the same trust in you that I once did. That I still do, really, it wasn't me who turned away. But Tim…
Sah'ta Thor: Where is Tim? I will honest I miss his aggression.
Savannah smiles at the mention of his name.
Savannah: He's backstage watching. He has a bit more time on his hands of late - but he's keeping sharp, and aggressive just waiting for another chance in a ring.
Sah'ta Thor: Well, tell you what you go back there and talk to him to see what he thinks about working with me and next week we can see where we stand. For now though the EHWF is poised on the verge of change and Insidious will push it over the edge.
With that "Ad Mortem" by Adrian von Ziegler begin to play through the arena as Mayhem goes to commercial.
We pan to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This following tag team contest is set for one fall!
The arena goes black, a chill moves through the arena as the fans are in anticipation... suddenly the sound of "Bad Guy" by Eminem hits the PA System in the sold out arena, as gold and silver lasers reflect throughout the arena... as we see the future of professional wrestling emerge through the curtain. A tall, lengthy athlete wearing a black hoodie with the words "ILL" on it as the lights flicker on, Keyshaun Jones makes his way down the ramp full of confident as he interacts with his fans. He continues down the ramp, slides under the bottom rope and spins around the ring slowly... he takes off the hoodie throws it into the crowd full of confidence, climbs the nearside turnbuckle raises his right arm to a nice ovation. Keyshaun now stands in the center of the ring ready to embark on his battle.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Keyshaun Jones!
"Planetary (Go!)" by My Chemical Romance starts playing in the arena and the arena starts filling up with cheers as the lights in the arena start flashing blue and red with spotlights shining all over the arena. As the song gets to the first verse, that's when David Arnold suddenly bursts out from the backstage area, a smirk on his face, bringing more cheers. He's wearing his usual black jeans, black Converse shoes, and a black and blue t-shirt with a black and blue hoodie over it as well as a dark blue beanie.
He stands there for a few moments before making his way down to the ring, moving his head and arms to the beat of the music. He high fives some people at rampside while doing his usual hand taunt along with the music as the people in the arena are jumping up and down with the music now. He pauses to take a picture with a fan before running to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope, then flipping up to his feet with a smile on his face. He runs over to one of the corners, getting up on it, and poses for the fans as hundreds of camera flashes go off. He then hops down and goes up on the opposite corner, doing the same there as well. He then hops back down and takes his hoodie off, tossing it out into the crowd as the music fades off and he waits for the start of the match in the corner sitting on the top rope.
Patricia Downs: And next his partner… David Arnold!
The arena lights dim as Adelitas Way’s “Scream” begins playing. A womans silhouetted figure appears on the stage, and chase lights flash all over the stage/arena and old wrestling footage plays from Rose's many matches at other wrestling federations, many focusing on the several titles she has held over the years. The silhouetted figure remains completely still with her arms at her sides and her feet shoulder width apart. As soon as the lyrics begin, the building erupts in pale green light and Rose thrusts her right fist straight up into the air. She stands for a moment, nodding her head to the music with a big smile on her face. She then skips once and struts down toward the ring, dancing somewhat provocatively and high fiving fans. As the music slows (“I want to take it too far…”), she slides into the ring. She crawls to the middle before hopping up and heading toward the far right corner. She climbs onto the top rope, keeping one foot on the second to keep balance. The lyrics continue, just before the lead singer gets into the chorus, Rose jumps from the top turnbuckle, does a flip in the air and lands as the singer yells “scream” while lip syncing. She then continues to dance, wave, and blow kisses to the audience as her music fades.
Patricia Downs: And their opponents… Introducing first… Rose
The Lights inside the arena dim and 'Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy' performed by TaTa Young; the theme of Aubree Celeste blasts over the PA System. The 'HOTMESS' makes her way through the black curtain as the crowd cheers. She raises her hands into the air then points around the arena. As they continue to cheer. As she makes her way down the ramp, she begins to shake the fans hands, before sliding into the ring. As she runs towards the turnbuckle hopping onto the middle pointing out to the fans as they cheer for her, her theme fades out as she jumps down into the ring.
Patricia Downs: And her partner… She is the Jr Heavyweight Champion… Aubree Celeste!
DING DING DING!

Steve White: Can you focus on the match for at least 2 seconds Chuck!

Steve White: That was a blatant thumb to the eye by Keyshaun to the champion! We don’t need that type of dirty tactics in this match!
Chuck Thompson: It looks like David Arnold isn’t happy at all with Keyshaun’s desperate actions!
David Arnold argues with Keyshaun from the apron, berating him about his dirty tactics. Keyshaun yells back and the two get into an exchange, which give Aubree time to recover.

Steve White: What!? That’s Sahta Thor’s music! We’re in the middle of a match, what’s he doing?
Chuck Thompson: Well that’s his music but Thor isn’t actually out here. I have no idea what’s going on…
Thor’s theme continues, still confusing the fans and the competitors. Thor makes his way out eventually. He comes down the ramp looking pissed off and mouths off at Rose. Rose is confused but as Thor gets to the bottom of the ramp the two get into a verbal exchange.
Steve White: I don’t get it… Why is Thor out here and why on Earth is he arguing with Rose right now? Is he going to ruin this match?
Aubree comes over to the corner as well and starts to argue with Thor. Everyone is confused but this gives Arnold time to recover. He runs up and hits Aubree with a forearm to the back of he head!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here are your winners… The team of David Arnold and Keyshaun Jones!
Rose gets in the ring, enraged and goes to the ref to argue that Thor hindered her response. The ref and Rose continue to argue about the result. Thor slides a chair in the ring as David and Keyshaun quickly get out!
Steve White: Thor’s not done! Thor’s not done! He’s in the ring and he slid in a chair! What the hell is he up to tonight?
Thor grabs Rose from behind and knees her in the side! He shoves her down to the mat and gets a few good stomps in!
Steve White: He’s attacking Rose! Why Thor!? Why?
Thor picks up Rose and hammers her back with his shoulder! He scoops up Rose and holds her on his shoulder! He walks her over to the chair on the mat and gets her in position for the Parasite Eve!
Steve White: NO! Bah Gawd! Don’t do it Thor! Why are you out here anyway! He’s going to Parasite Eve Rose right on that damn chair!
Chuck Thompson: He’s gonna end Rose’s chances of going to Scars and Stripes right here! What the fuck is this!? What’s this guys deal tonight!?
Thor holds Rose in position for the Parasite Eve as he signals out to the fans with a smirk on his face. Suddenly at the last moment, Aubree springs off of the top rope and missile dropkicks Thor, saving Rose! Thor gets up and so does Aubree but Thor quickly rolls out of the ring and walks off with a smile across his face. He berates Patricia Downs and grabs her mic off of her as he makes his way back up the ramp. Thor begins to speak.
Sahta Thor: See that one Billy Boy? See what I did there!? Where were you? Where are you? I was inches away from putting your little girlfriend away… Perhaps you care more about your Northern American Championship more then you care about her… Wait let me correct myself there… MY Northern American Championship…
The fans jeer as Thor gets to the top of the stage, staring down at a pissed off Rose in the ring.
Sahta Thor: Billy… I’m not satisfied with what went down at Trial of Tears. The title was mine and you just happened to waltz in at the last second and win the match. However, you did not pin me, you pinned Maddox. You proved nothing against me that night and I WANT ANOTHER SHOT! That’s right Bill… No Mike Maddox, just you and I one on one at Scars and Stripes for the Northern American Championship!
The fans cheer as Thor holds his arms out.
Sahta Thor: And Bill… Just in case you wanted to be a pussy and decline my challenge… Just remember what I almost did to your girl here tonight! I’ll be awaiting your answer son…
Thor turns away and drops the mic, walking behind the curtain. Rose rolls out of the ring and bolts up the ramp in a rage as we fade out to a commercial.
We open up back to the ring where we see Brandon Bash standing in the ring with two other Board Members, Caesar Circus and Jean Philippe. Bash stands with a grin on his face and a mic in his hand as he triumphantly points out at the stage.
Steve White: Oh here we go…
Brandon Bash: Well… The time has come. Everyone has been expecting it for some time now so here it is. You’ve all seen the Chairman Black Man’s horrible performance and incompetence over the past few months. You would have also seen him recklessly and biasedly try to interfere in the important EHWF Championship main event last week at Trial of Tears! It’s time for the Chairman to answer for his actions! Black Man, come the fuck out here now and face me like a man you pussy ass piece of shit!
Black Man’s music hits and a pissed off Chairman makes his way down the ramp. He points at Bash and gets in the ring, semi raging at him.
Steve White: And here comes a fired up Black Man right now!
Black Man: Bash! What the fuck do you think you’re doing motherfucker!?
Brandon Bash: What I should have done a long ass time ago you incompetent jizz stain! We all have had enough of your bullshit! You’re unfit to be in a management position in EHWF and you’re on the way out back to the streets, back to the hood tonight!
Black Man gets in Bash’s face.
Black Man: There is no chance on Earth that I’m going anywhere Bash! I am the Chairman, I’m in charge and that’s the way it’s fucking going to stay bitches. Anyone got a problem with that, then step up!
Black Man holds his arms out to Bash and the other two Board Members.
Brandon Bash: Enough of your foolish rhetoric. Remember, I was responsible for your demise last time and I’ll be responsible for finally doing away with Black Man for good here tonight. I’ve convinced the Board that I have a case against you and with my evidence here tonight, we will all vote to fire you!
Steve White: Evidence!?
Bash points a finger right into Black Man’s face as he looks back at the other two members of the Board.
Brandon Bash: Gentlemen… You hired this fool to get control of Mayhem back, yet ambushes and after match attacks have actually increased since you hired his ass! He could not accomplish the one thing you hired to do, in fact he made it worse!
Black Man: That… That’s…
Brandon Bash: That’s true and you know it!
The two Board Members nod in agreement with Bash.
Brandon Bash: This guy has made horrible decision after horrible decision that have made us all look bad! From creating duel champions to putting Van Jam in the main event on Mayhem, Black Man has fucked up time and time again and has proved with these decisions that not only is he not fit to help run this company but he doesn’t deserve to have anything to do with EHWF at all! In fact the only reason he’s not in the ring and taking up a comfy desk job is because he doesn’t have what it takes to compete anymore!
Black Man gasps as the two Board members talk amongst themselves. Brandon Bash smirks, knowing that he’s running wild over the soon to be ex-chairman right now.
Black Man: Sh… Shut your damn mouth Bash! N… None of this even fucking matters, I’m the chairman and a few words out here in the ring isn’t going to get me fired no matter who you brought with you. You’ll have to do better than that old friend.
Bash looks over to the Board Members and nod, agreeing with Black Man.
Caesar Circus: I’m sorry Bash but he’s right. There’s not enough for us and all the Board Members back at corporate to condemn Black Man out of the company right now.
Bash desperately turns around with a pleading tone in his voice.
Brandon Bash: Wait! I have a key witness, personally vilified and abused by Black Man.
The all look on surprised.
Brandon Bash: That’s right. Black Man did try and fuck up our big main event last week…
Black Man: You told me to...
Brandon Bash: …But he also took advantage and abused a hard worker and good employee as well… Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my star witness in this Black Man is a Fuck Boy trial… TQ SMOOTH!
Steve White: What!? TQ Smooth!? Bah Gawd!
TQ’s music goes off and he comes down the ramp. TQ gets in the ring and stands beside Brandon and the Board Members and shakes his head at Black Man. Brandon hands TQ a mic and comforts him.
Brandon Bash: TQ, thank you so much for joining us tonight… We know you have a big match to get to but you need to do what’s right. You need to tell us what Black Man did to you…
TQ grabs the mic.
TQ Smooth: Yeah, I’ll be glad to tell you all what this piece of shit, scum, asshole, abusive, violent, borderline psychopath douchebag did to me. He not only laid his hands on me, an employee, a wrestler during a match but afterwards he outright attacked me and I demand that Black Man be fired because of that!
Black Man: You’ve got to be kidding me.
TQ Smooth: Black Man is not capable of running Mayhem or being the Chairman. He fucks shit up constantly and now he’s resorted to physically attacking the other wrestlers and employees… Well I won’t stand for it and neither will anyone else in the back! I have a medical note from Dr. Random Rash MD that said Black Man was only inches away from possibly ending my career!
TQ hands Caesar what looks like a napkin with writing on it. Caesar reads it…
Caesar Circus: Hmm… It checks out, well that just is not good.
Black Man: Wait… He’s lying!
Brandon Bash: I have no CONFIDENCE in this man before us! This man cannot be a Chairman of EHWF! Last time I checked this was America! Land of the free! Home of the great! America, the greatest country on Earth! Black Man however doesn’t feel that way! He’d rather us be under some sort of communist rule just like he’s trying to impose on Mayhem! Well I say DOWN WITH BLACK MAN!
Steve White: What’s happening right now!? Have TQ and Brandon Bash orchestrated the demise of Black Man right now!
The Board Members nod to Bash who grins.
Caesar Circus: I’m sorry Black Man but y...
Brandon Bash: No! Let me do it! …Black Man, you lose motherfucker… YURRRRR FIAAAAADDDDDD!
Steve White: Bah Gawd!
The fans go wild and cheer as Black Man looks down. TQ and Bash rejoice in the ring as the Board Members watch on.
Steve White: Black Man just got fired! He is no longer our Chairman! Bash did it again!
Black Man puts his hands over his head and looks down. Bash laughs and parades around the ring, celebrating the 2nd time he’s vanquished Black Man from EHWF.
Brandon Bash: Well Blackie I guess its ba…
Black Man: Wait... Brandon… I thought you of all people would be smarter than that… Seriously.
Brandon Bash: What do you mean?
Black Man: You manipulated me and outsmarted me… I’ll admit it but when I realized I fucked up at Trial of Tears I knew you’d use it against me. I knew you had manipulated me so you could get rid of me...
Brandon Bash: Your point being? You’re fired son, there’s nothing you can do.
Black Man: Right... I’m no longer the Chairman you won… BUT When I realized you’d played me and that you would be after me this week, I took action, to protect myself. See, I cut a deal before tonight.
Bash looks surprised.
Brandon Bash: A deal? Oh really? What deal, I haven’t signed shit.
Black Man: Knowing the end was near, I went to Joanna Isabella and signed a Legend’s Competing Contract which entitles me to 7 matches in EHWF of the course of the rest of this year… So you may have gotten rid of my from management, but son… I’m still gonna be around!
Bash turns around, pissed off that Joanna did that when they had agreed they’d take Black Man out. Bash looks enraged and shakes his head. TQ Smooth also looks pissed off as the Board Members watch in anticipation.
Brandon Bash: Why would she do that!? Why!? Listen you piece of shit… I still won, you’re not the Chairman anymore. You have no power and I have all the power. So what, if you were able to cling onto EHWF with your pussy ass Legends Contract. Why don’t you just sign a normal contract hmm? What’s holding you back you little BITCH!?
Black Man: You mad bro? It’s not going to be that easy to kill Black Man off a second time and while I only have 7 matches out of the year, I’m still going to be around Mayhem, A LOT! I think I’ll wait until your time runs out Bash, so I can kick your ass one day! I know I can’t put my hands on you since you’re an all powerful Board Member… but now that I’m a normal Superstar…
Black Man turns around to an unsuspecting TQ Smooth and hits him with the Black Stunn! The fans go wild as Brandon and the other Board Members step back.
Black Man: …I can attack any Superstar I want. I think I’ll start my Legends Contract off with my first match… Since I have to wait until you fall from grace to kick your ass Bash… I’m going to challenge this piece of shit right here to a match at Scars and Stripes!
The fans cheer as Black Man points to a downed TQ Smooth.
Black Man: How about it TQ? You want to ruin my Chairmanship, how about I ruin your face at Scars and Stripes!? I’ll be awaiting your answer to my challenge, when you’re able to regain consciousness that is… As for you Bash, I know that you could easily revoke my Legends Contract – but you wont do that… Joanna Isabella-Rissi made the decision and for some reason she has something over you… I have no idea what it could be but these past couple of weeks she’s the only person you’ve been nice to. You’re a constant asshole to every except your friends and now Joanna… I have to wonder along with everyone else, what the GM has over you? So, will you revoke my contract?
Bash doesn’t answer and just stares at Black Man.
Black Man: I didn’t think so… Boy, she must really have something good over you!
Black Man exits the ring as TQ Smooth starts to get up. Black Man makes his way up the ramp.
Black Man: So you won Bash, I’m not the chairman anymore and it looks like I’ll have to wait to fight you but you could do us both a favour and make sure that TQ accepts my challenge at Scars and Stripes!
Black Man’s music hits, TQ goes to get out of the ring to fuck him up but Bash and Jean Philippe hold him back. Bash looks out, emotionless at Black Man as we fade to a commercial.
We come back to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This following tag team contest is set for one fall!
Tired by Stone Sour blasts over the PA systems. Michael Maddox comes on the stage and looks around the crowd before taunting the crowd as the cheer. Maddox is wearing his trademark leather jacket engraved with The Ladies Man On it. Maddox runs down to the ring and slides into the ring and jumps on the nearest turnbuckle taking his leather jacket off and throwing it into the crowd. Maddox jumps off the turnbuckle with a confident look on his face awaiting the start of the match.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Mike Maddox!
"Killem All" by KING 810 begins to blare through the speakers, echoing throughout the pitch black arena, signaling the arrival of Eli Sykes. The lights come on as Sykes makes his way through the curtain onto the stage, taking a moment to look around the packed arena. He continues his way towards the ring, slowly, with a ice cold stare on his face. When he reaches the ring, he makes his way up the steel steps then walks along the edge of the apron. He then faces the crowd and a cocky smirk stretches across his face. He steps between the ropes and enters the ring, waiting for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And next his partner… Eli Sykes!
T.Q's music blasts throughout the arena as fireworks begin to explode from the stage. T.Q comes out and walks down the ramp way with a cocky smirk on his face. Dressed in his typical black Timberland boots, and black Polo jeans, he enters into the ring and goes over to the corner and climbs onto the middle rope, just to look out into the crowd for a brief second. T.Q then jumps off the middle rope and walks over to the referee and starts to bad mouth him before his music is cut and his opponents music starts to play.
Patricia Downs: And their opponents… Introducing first… TQ Smooth
The lights go out in the arena as blue and white strobe lights light up the stage. “Not Gonna Die" by Skillet hits over the PA System with the lights flashing in time with the rhythm. The black curtain is pushed aside and Silver Kazama steps out from behind it onto the stage. The crowd erupts into cheers as Silver walks over to the left side of the stage, his arms extended out to his sides as he panders to the fans.
He walks over to the right side of the stage and taunts to the fans again to another chorus of cheers. He moves back towards the center of the stage and begins to make his way down the ramp as he slaps the hands of fans on his way down to the ring.
He slides into the ring and jumps up onto the top turnbuckle, throwing both of his arms into the air, and pointing to the sky. He climbs down before walking over to the far set of ropes, climbing on the middle rope before holding his arm up again and calling out to the fans. He climbs down once more and walks towards his corner. He pulls his shirt up over his head and throws it into the crowd as “Not Gonna Die” fades out of ear shot and the lights return to normal.
Patricia Downs: And his partner… Silver Kazama!
DING DING DING!
The match starts and TQ Smooth demands he start off, still raging over Black Man’s second out of the blue attack. TQ locks up with Eli Sykes to begin! Sykes aggressively and wildly starts kneeing TQ in the midsection as hard and fast as he can! TQ pushes Eli off of him and goes for a clothesline but Eli ducks it and comes back at TQ with wild right and left hands! TQ gets caught up and Eli gets control of the match as he punches with everything he’s got!
Steve White: Eli Sykes all over TQ Smooth with that wild offense! TQ Smooth clearly still pissed off at what we just saw transpire with Black Man before. I have to say it’s gotten really interesting here tonight on Mayhem but Black Man has left the arena and TQ will have to wait until next week to get his own back!
Chuck Thompson: Tonight has been incredible! The path to Scars and Stripes is my favourite time of the year Steve! And we might even get to see our new owner here tonight!
Sykes forces TQ into the corner and starts hitting him with big corner thrusts until TQ grabs Sykes and hammers his back with big shots! TQ pushes Sykes to the mat but Sykes springs back up, hitting TQ with big right hands! TQ boots Sykes in the gut and hits him with a big suplex! TQ is able to get Sykes up again and hit him with a second suplex, getting control of the match back! Silver calls for the tag but TQ ignores him.
Steve White: TQ slowing this match down but taking down Eli! These Impress Me matches have all been amazing tonight!
Chuck Thompson: TQ refuses to acknowledge Silver and doesn’t tag him. The rivalry between the two is still clear!
TQ wraps his arms around Eli, trying to get him to submit to a headlock but Eli powers out and gets to the ropes! Maddox tags himself in and runs in only to get a big running STO from TQ Smooth! Maddox gets up and TQ fires big rights and lefts at him! Maddox stumbles back into the corner and TQ runs at him but Maddox puts his boot up and TQ runs right into it! Maddox runs up and hits TQ with a big fallback slam! Eli Sykes runs back in and knocks Silver off of the apron! Sykes then runs up and boots TQ in the ribs on the mat then turns on Maddox and takes him out with a dropkick, sending Maddox into his corner!
Steve White: Eli Sykes taking everyone out! Even his own partner! What’s he doing Chuck!?
Chuck Thompson: He’s impressing! It’s an impress me match after all and Maddox blind tagged anyway. Also, Eli is a crazy motherfucker!
Eli goes back on the apron and tags himself back in. He walks in and grabs Smooth kneeing him in the midsection but Smooth fires back with big right hands of his own! He shocks Eli and bounces off the ropes but runs right into Eli’s boot! Smooth falls back into his corner and Silver tags in! Silver springs over the top rope and hits Eli with a crossbody! Silver picks Eli up and tosses him in the corner hitting him with a corner clothesline! Silver signals for the Devil Trigger but when he goes for it Eli ducks it and boots Silver in the back of the head! Silver goes down and gets a punt to the ribs! Eli picks him up and bounces Silver off the ropes then hoists him on his back! TQ Smooth reaches in and tags himself in by slapping Silver while he’s on Eli’s back, Eli doesn’t notice!
Steve White: TQ Smooth was able to tag in but Eli didn’t notice!
Chuck Thompson: Watch out!
Shockingly, Eli Sykes hits Silver with the Silver Diamond, stealing his finishing move and mocking him! Eli smiles as he hooks Silver’s leg! The ref doesn’t count because TQ is now the legal man. Eli looks up and gets a running boot to the face from TQ! TQ starts stomping out Eli! Eli still isn’t giving up, he shoves Smooth back! Smooth swings at Eli but Eli blocks it and hits Smooth with a jawbreaker! Eli then edges over to the corner and once again Maddox tags himself back in! Maddox runs at TQ and starts hitting him with big rights and lefts as the ref forces Eli back on the apron! Maddox boots TQ in the gut and bounces off of the ropes!
Steve White: Here it is! This is it!
Maddox bolts at TQ looking for something but TQ dodges him and hits him with a surprise TQ Special! The fans cheer as TQ goes to the mat. Eli runs in but Silver intercepts him and hits him with the Devil Trigger! TQ hooks both of Maddox’s legs!
1…

3!
DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here are your winners… TQ Smooth and Silver Kazama!
The fans cheer as TQ’s music goes off. He taunts out to them but quickly rolls out of the ring as Eli gets in with a steel chair! Eli nails Silver in the head with a big chair shot then as Maddox gets up he nail’s Maddox with a big shot! Both Silver and Maddox fall as Eli stands triumphant in the ring with a chair. He looks out at Smooth backing off on the ramp as we fade out to a commercial.
We open back up to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This following match is set for one fall!
The opening riff to "Ruina Imperii" by Sabaton echoes through the arena's speaker system as the lights dim. A few seconds pass before an almost demonic looking Sah'ta Thor. He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending. After a moment he pulls off his shirt revealing his scarred toned muscular upper body. He turns and starts pacing in the ring as he awaits his opponents much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Sahta Thor!
A hush goes over the crowd as the lights lower to a level that is just above off. The sound of a woman's voice can be heard over the loud speakers. "Help me Handsome Devil! You're my only hope!" With that, "Invincible" by OK GO hits the loud speaker and the once quite crowed bursts into a earth shaking roar as Handsome Devil bursts from out behind the curtain. A huge smile spreads across his face as he looks around at all the screaming fans. He then runs down the ramp, high fiving some of the fans along the way. Not showing any sign of slowing down as he approaches the ring, Devil slides under the bottom rope and continues his way to the opposite ropes where he jumps on to the middle rope and raises his fist with a battle cry. The masked man then jumps off and heads to the middle of the ring and strikes a heroic pose. With a wink to the ladies and a thumbs up to the kids, he turns to and walks over to his corner where he takes a seat on the top rope.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Handsome Devil!
DING DING DING!
As the bell rings, the two men lock up. The crowd is clapping to get momentum building up in the start of the match. Thor quickly pulls Devil into a side headlock, as the crowd boos.
Steve White: Sah'ta Thor is getting the early advantage in this one, Chuck.
Chuck Thompson: Of course he does, Steve. He is a Hall of Famer, after all!
Devil quickly shoves Thor off of him. As Thor turns back to face Devil, he is met with a big dropkick that sends him stumbling back, tripping through the ropes. He grabs a hold of the middle rope, though, and lands on the apron. The crowd is cheering for Handsome Devil, as he runs at the turnbuckle to Thor's left. Thor has picked himself to standing on the apron, as Devil springboards off the turnbuckle and hite another big dropkick to Thor!
Steve White: BOSTON MASSIVE-TWO-TITS! Handsome Devil pulling out the heavy artillery really early in this one, Chuck!
Chuck Thompson: It's okay, though, Steve. Thor is a legend. Some weirdo in a mask like Handsome Devil doesn't even belong in the ring with Thor!
Devil looked down at a hurt Thor, then looked out at the crowd. He grabbed the top rope with his left hand, while throwing his right hand up with his right index finger pointing up st the ceiling. He began to stomp on the mat, getting the crowd to clap along with his stomps. As Thor finally stumbled back up to his feet, Devil hopped over the top rope to where he was standing on the apron with his back to Thor. Devil would then leap up, throwing his legs around and over the top rope to where he landed on the top rope with his legs, causing him to launch backwards with a springboard moonsault. Thor sees it coming, though, and just barely dives out of the way!
FANS: OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!
Chuck Thompson: SEE, STEVE!? A legend like Sah'ta Thor doesn't fall for stupid shenanigans like that!
Steve White: Certainly a smart move on Thor's part. Both men are down and the referee's count is now at 4 after Handsome Devil made that risky move to the outside...
5!
...
6!
Thor slowly starts picking himself back up, and stumbles over to the ring.
7!
Devil rolls around, holding his arms over his stomach, gasping for air. The crowd is on their feet as Thor rolls into the ring.
8!
...
9!
Devil scrambles on his knees to the ring. Right after the referee is about to count to ten, Devil manages to roll under the bottom rope and into the ring! Thor looks disappointed, as the crowd goes crazy.
Steve White: Handsome Devil gets back into the ring right at the last second! Thor isn't going to get that easy of a win over our resident bacon lover, Chuck!
Chuck Thompson: Yeah, yeah, Steve. Whatever...Thor will put him away here in a minute...
Thor pushes himself up to his feet, and signals for the Parasite Eve to a chorus of boos.
Chuck Thompson: Told ya, Steve. Time for Parasite Eve!
Devil finally pulls himself up to his feet, and stumbles into Thor. Thor easily lifts Devil up and onto his right shoulder in Oklahoma slam position. The crowd go wild, as Bill Ryder suddenly runs down to the ring, hopping onto the apron! He points and yells at Thor, while also holding the North American Championship up into the air.
Chuck Thompson: Bill Ryder! We knew it was coming!
Steve White: Well, Thor did make sure to involve Rose into this!
Thor looks over at Bill while still holding Devil over his shoulder. He lets Devil slide off of his shoulder as he steps towards Bill, yelling back at him and pointing at the North American Championship. Bill just stops yelling, and then flashes a big grin at Thor. Bill would then point behind Thor, as he hopped off of the apron. Thor annoying turned his attention back to Devil...who was waiting just for him to do so. Devil runs up and jumps at Thor, hooking Thor's head with his right arm as he uses the momentum to get in some spin as he jumps up into the air. They do a complete one-eighty spin before Devil lands on his ass, causing Thor to fall into a shoulder jawbreaker.
Steve White: After a distraction from Bill Ryder, Handsome Devil is able to surprise Thor with the Pen 15! This one's over!
Chuck Thompson: NO! IT CAN'T BE! THOR IS A LEGEND, DAMN IT!
Devil quickly jumps over to Thor, hooking a leg as he goes for the pin.

Patricia Downs: Here is your winner... Handsome Devil!
Chuck Thompson: And the rivalry between Bill and Thor intensifies!
The crowd goes nuts as the bell rings. Handsome Devil slowly climbs to his feet, as the referee comes over and attempts to raise Devil's arm in victory. Devil flinches as he does so, and holds an arm across his ribs. He still can't help but flash a big smile, as Thor rolls over, pounding his fist into the mat in anger while "Invincible" by OK GO begins to play throughout the arena... We fade out to a commercial.
As we come back to the arena we pan around to all of the fans through the crowd. Patricia Downs makes no announcement as we continue to pan through all the fans. Just as they grow confused, all of the lights go out and the entire arena is in pitch-black darkness. The fans cheer but then get quiet. They eagerly await but nothing happens.
Steve White: I think this is it! The moment we've all been waiting for!
Everyone is still left in complete darkness. The broadcast team goes quiet as everyone waits... Still after some time nothing occurs as everyone is left in the dark. Suddenly a few blue lights hit as Headlines by Drake hits the PA System and all the fans get to their feet, cheering and going wild!
Steve White: BAWWH GAWD! It can't be! It can't be! He's the new owner!?
Suddenly Michael Rissi makes his way onto the stage after an almost 7 month long absence from EHWF! The fans go absolutely crazy as Rissi starts performing theatrics all around the stage! Pyro goes off as the lights shoot back to normal and Rissi begins to make his way down the ramp and to the ring!
Fans: AHHHHHH! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!
Steve White: BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD, BAH GAWD, I can't believe this! Michael Rissi has returned home to EHWF just a few weeks out from the biggest wrestling show in the history of the world! How can he be the new owner!?
Chuck Thompson: Well... What a fucking surprise this is. I have to say I had a lot of people in mind for a new owner but Michael Rissi wasn't one of them. I guess some unanswered questions make sense now...
Steve White: Well these fans are the loudest we've seen in a while! I'm still in shock myself as we suspect Michael Rissi to reveal himself as the new owner of EHWF!
With all the fans going hard with their deafening cheers, Rissi makes his way to the ring and gets inside it, grabbing a mic from a producer first. He stands in the center of the ring and waits a few minutes for the fans to quiet down. He smiles as he brings the mic to his lips.
Michael Rissi: It really is GOOD to be back!
The fans go back to cheering as loud as they can.
Michael Rissi: Let me just say now that yes, I am the new owner of EHWF! I purchased the company officially late Thursday night last week!
The fans react positively, giving a standing ovation and mass of cheers.
Fans: Oh Shit! Oh Shit!
Steve White: Well I really will be a son of a bitch... Our new owner, who could have seen this one coming?
Chuck Thompson: I'm just as shocked as you are Steve but the fans are loving this! After all we've witness tonight on the Path to Scars & Stripes I didn't think anything else could shock me, but clearly I was wrong...
Michael Rissi: I know all of y'all are probably pondering about where I've been. The last time you would have seen me was at the Hall of Fame show in January and the last time I had a match was against Black Man a year ago at Scars and Stripes.
Steve White: It's true. It has been a long time. What a perfect way to return. I just want to know how he pulled it off.
Michael Rissi: The story is this... You all saw me get injured at the classy hands of David GS at the Hall of Fame show... I spent 3 weeks in the hospital then I got out and nursed my injuries. While I was at home I watched Mayhem... I saw good things and bad things. Most shocking was Scorpion's resignation from the company. The whole time I was watching though... I never felt the need to hurry back or even come back for that matter. I felt I had nothing left to prove, not even to poor DGS, I felt I has nothing left to do... Until now that is...
Chuck Thompson: So he bought the fucking company...
Michael Rissi: So after seeing Scorpion leave, I got up... I got up and started focusing on EHWF more and more... Well after I got married of course... But you guys already knew that right?
The fans erupt in more cheers and claps as Rissi takes a moment and looks out at the crowd.
Michael Rissi: I bought EHWF after furiously fighting with other serious bidders. I thought, love him or hate him, Scorpion is the man responsible for creating the greatest and biggest wrestling federation on the planet and its done so much for me. The least I could do was continue that legacy but pushing it in the right direction and with my management and guidance it'll only move forward.
Steve White: Well now it makes sense... At Trial of Tears Brandon Bash found out from the Board Members that Rissi might be buying the company... Of course Joanna would have known this before anyone because she's his wife... That's what Joanna had over Bash and that's why Bash turned into the nice guy...
Chuck Thompson: No shit Sherlock. Great detective work Steve.
Rissi gestures for the fans to calm down as he begins to speak again.
Michael Rissi: That being said let me waste no more time. I'm overjoyed to back in EHWF and owner and I've promised you all an amazing future of this product. With the biggest and greatest wrestling event ever only a few weeks away, what am opportunity this will be! Management decided on a big EHWF Championship match at Scars and Stripes hence the many qualifiers and Impress Me matches we've seen tonight... Well I sat down with many forms of management and I was able to come up with a final main event for Scars and Stripes!
Fans: AHHHHHHH!
Steve White: They've decided on the main event for Scars and Stripes! This really is an amazing night Chuck!
Rissi waits for the fans to quiet down before he brings the mic back to his lips to introduce the Scars and Stripes main event.
Michael Rissi: At Scars & Stripes 2014... It's going to be... A 6 Man Extreme Hell in a Cell match for the EHWF Championship!
Fans: AHHHHHH!
Steve White: BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! A 6 Man Extreme Hell in a Cell match for the EHWF Championship at Scars & Stripes! That's amazing! That's down right incredible! 6 men, one title on the greatest night of them all!
Chuck Thompson: Every fan just got back up to their feet after an announcement like that! We can't even hear ourselves talk right now! That match is going to be incredible!
The cheering continues for quite some time as Rissi claps along. The tron flickers on showing DGS and 5 other mystery silhouettes!
Michael Rissi: David Smith will go to Scars & Stripes the champ and defend against 5 other guys... Right now I can reveal some names to you... See I was a little late to the party and in preparation for this announcement I didn't watch any matches tonight but someone on management was impressed by one particular superstar in an Impress Me match tonight and pushes for him to be thrust into the match... Ladies and Gentlemen... The first person to qualify for the main event at Scars & Stripes will be... RAIN!
The fans give a mixed reaction as Rain's image appears next to DGS on the tron. Steve White narrates sarcastically.
Steve White: Hmm... Well I wonder who pushed for Rain to get a spot in this match? Hmm?
Michael Rissi: Well... No more people have actually qualified for this main event match at Scars & Stripes but I will reveal that there is a certain entrant that has been considered and hand picked by the current management on Mayhem... A decision that was made before I even secured the company! Nonetheless, this mystery entrant will be revealed once they're secured for the night!
A question marked figure appears over one of the silhouettes on the tron. The fans cheer yet give a mixed vibe at the unknown entrant.
Steve White: An unknown entrant picked by Management!? I wonder who it could be Chuck!?
Chuck Thompson: Who cares... We have one of the biggest Scars & Stripes main events to look forward to now! DGS is going to have his hands fucking full!
Michael Rissi: So we have 2 confirmed members of the Scars and Stripes main event and one random entrant. That leaves three members of the roster still able to qualify for the main event next week in Impress Me matches on Mayhem!
Steve White: The whole locker room is going to be tearing each other apart next week to get a shot at the Scars and Stripes main event and the Championship!
Michael Rissi: This all being said... Let me just wish everyone on the Mayhem Roster good luck in placing on the Scars and Stripes card based on their performances next week on Mayhem! Thank you EHWF, now enjoy the main event!
Rissi's music hits as the fans go crazy again. He gets out of the ring and walks back up the ramp.
Chuck Thompson: Well... I don't even know what to say... After all those announcements - we have a new owner, we have a big Scars and Stripes Championship main event and we've all got the shock of our lives I think... What a night!
Rissi disappears backstage as we fade out to a promo for the Champion vs. Champion vs. Champion main event up next!
We come back from the video package to Patricia Downs standing in the ring eagerly waiting to announce the main event for tonight.
Patricia Downs: This following Champion vs. Champion vs. Champion contest is set for one fall!
"My reign is as far as your eyes can see"
The arena would become pitch black. There would be a few seconds of silence just before "Amazing" by Kanye West would blare throughout the arena. The fans who have filled their seats would now turn their attention towards the entrance ramp as a figure would emerge from behind the black curtain. There, at the center edge of the stage stood the North American champion, Bill Ryder. His face coated with a thick beard, his eyes glaring forward towards the ring, but his presence and composure remained calm. The expressionless champion would slowly make his way down the ramp, biding his time as he stepped past the fans who seemed to swarm him, but not even they could affect his focus. The focused champion would step inside the ring and make his way towards the center of the ring. It was here where he would remove the hood from his head, as his eyes would raise up towards the crowd, as a sinister smile would make it's mark across his face.
Patricia Downs: Introducing First... He is the Northern American Champion... Bill Ryder!
As everyone is expecting Chris DeAngelo to come out Brandon Bash’s music goes off as everyone looks on in confusion.
Steve White: What’s this? Why is Brandon Bash coming out? Where’s the Hardcore Champion!? We’ve seen enough of Bash tonight!
Bash stands on the stage and brings a mic to his face. Ladies and Gents… Let me just introduce the newest member of our faction… Please make welcome… The Hardcore Champion… Chris DeAngelo!
Steve White: What!? DeAngelo joined Bash!?
As the modern day Sinatra, Michael Buble's cover of I've Got the World on a String begins to play through the P.A. System, the tune is challenged by the heap of boos from the audience. Their roars of disapproval only spike when the Venetian born Chris DeAngelo, sporting his typical pair of black trunks with his gilded surname across the rear, kneepads and boots, emerges through the curtain, along with the EHWF Hardcore Championship that sits wrapped around his waist and the black t-shirt with the likeness of his company Silverscreen in a fine, silver text. A million dollar smile lay on his face as he halts his walk at the end of the stage and shakes Brandon Bash’s hand. He doesn't sit for long, and makes his way down the ramp where his strut sometimes finds itself jiving to the tune heard loud inside the packed stadium. His walk up the steps and into the ring finds someway to be even more arrogant, to the crowd's disdain. Once in the ring, he finds himself up one of the turnbuckles closest to the announce desk. With pride evident, he unstraps the title and hoists it high above his head with his right hand. His music begins to fade as he slings the title over his shoulder and steps off the turnbuckle.
Steve White: Oh I don’t believe this… DeAngelo joins Bash and The Legion in Bash’s little faction… I’m not surprised to be honest.
Patricia Downs: And next... He is the Hardcore Champion... Chris DeAngelo!
The choral build of "Birthright" signals the impending arrival of David Smith. The arena is filled with dim, cold blue light punctuated by white strobes that pulse in time with the opening riff, and white lasers form a shimmering archway around the entrance. The EHWF Champion appears as the first verse begins, garbed in all-black, a floor-length duster swirling around his lean frame. Notably absent from his person is the title belt itself, and the fans begin to raucously boo DGS as he stands atop the ramp, surveying the darkened arena with a slow, measured turn of the head. With equal slowness he raises his arms up from his sides, extending them out to either side of him and fully splaying his fingers, opening himself up to the fans' hatred. Basking in it, even.
He lowers his arms after a few moments and starts down the ramp, now solely focused on the ring. Ascending the steel steps, he walks to the center of the apron and turns outward, surveying the crowd once again, his face a mask of unassailable calm. He strikes the same pose as before, raising his arms and fully opening his hands, before stepping through the ropes into the ring. After removing his duster and tossing it to the outside, he goes to one corner and leans his back against it, waiting patiently for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And finally... He is the EHWF Champion and the current champion of the world... He is... David Gideon Smith!
DING DING DING
The bell rings and the match begin. DeAngelo quickly clocks Bill in the face with a running forearm! Bill fires back with a right hand but DeAngelo comes back with one of his own! Pretty quickly a fistfight breaks out as the fans cheer! DGS comes up and hits Bill in the back of the head! Both David and DeAngelo pick Bill up and toss him into the corner! DGS hits Bill with a corner clothesline sending Bill falling seated in the corner! DeAngelo runs up and hits Bill with a running corner knee straight to the head! The fans gasp at the sight. DeAngelo raises his arms, proud of himself but DGS grabs him from behind and throws DeAngelo into the corner ringpost, shoulder first!
Steve White: DeAngelo and DGS really messed Bill up there in a ruthless display where it looked like they were aligning themselves. DeAngelo, now a member of Bash's troop has no need for more friends I guess.
Chuck Thompson: It's no surprise to me that an asshole like DeAngelo would join an asshole like Bash. But... What I love about this match is that none of these three men like each other, in fact they probably all hate each other!
DGS grabs DeAngelo by the head and pulls him back, slamming him into the mat! Bill runs up and nails DGS with a forearm to the back from behind! Bill knees DGS in the midsection and goes for a DDT but DGS twists out of it and nails Bill with a big lariat! The fans go wild at the action as DGS grabs Bill and tosses him in the corner! DGS goes to follow up but DeAngelo rushes back in with a steel chair! DeAngelo nails DGS in the back with it then clocks it over his head! The fans go wild, Bill gets out of the corner but only to fall victim to a chair shot to the head from Chris DeAngelo! DeAngelo tosses the chair away and covers Bill!

KICK OUT!
Steve White: DeAngelo the Hardcore Champion bringing his Hardcore distinction to the table and takes both his opponents out with a steel chair! However, it wasn't enough to put away Bill.
Chuck Thompson: Bill is really gonna try to win this one tonight. It would really put him back on the map. But I can't help but think Thor's latest mind game and his challenge earlier tonight will be distracting in the back of Bill's mind.
DGS grabs DeAngelo from behind and hits him with a back bodydrop! DGS then gets up and bounces off the ropes, running up and hitting DeAngelo with a somersault legdrop on the mat! DGS covers Chris!

KICK OUT!
DeAngelo kicks out and DGS goes to hammer him in the head with a right hand but Bill comes up and grabs DGS by his hair and tosses him to the mat! Bill then walks over to DGS and ruthlessly starts to stomp him out! The fans cheer as Bill gives each stomp his all! It forces DGS to roll out of the ring. Bill looks at him from the ropes and yells for DGS to get back in but DeAngelo comes from behind and rolls Bill up!

KICK OUT!
Steve White: DeAngelo tryna pull a fast one there but Bill was ready!
Chuck Thompson: There's so much to prove in this match right now Steve. Which Champion will be the victor at the end of this night!? I got big bucks on DGS!
DeAngelo gets to his feet and lines a slowly standing Bill up. Just before DeAngelo can stand though, DGS rushes back in and hits the Hardcore Champion with a Spear! The fans go crazy as DeAngelo is almost broken in two! DGS gets to his feet and lines Bill up but Bill is expecting it so he forces DGS in tie up! The two fight for control until DGS knees Bill in the side! DGS scoops Bill up but Bill slides off his back and hits DGS with a neckbreaker! The fans go wild as Bill quickly hooks both David's legs!

NO!
Steve White: Bah Gawd!
DeAngelo grabs Bill's leg from the outside and pulls him out! DeAngelo offers a right hand but Bill blocks it and responds with one of his own! Bill lunges at DeAngelo but DeAngelo ducks him and grabs him by the hair, running him up and tossing him head first into the ringpost! The fans gasp as a now bleeding Bill drops to the outside in a heap. DeAngelo grabs the steel chair he threw out earlier and goes to get back in the ring with it but DGS bounces off the ropes in the ring and baseball slides the steel chair right into DeAngelo's face! DeAngelo drops next to Bill on the outside, yelling in pain!
Steve White: This ones getting extreme Chuck! DGS is the only one left standing at the moment and that's not what these other champions want right now!
Chuck Thompson: The Northern American or Hardcore Champion would love to get a victory on the World Champion but I think DGS has already calculated this one in his cunning mind tonight!
DGS goes on the outside and picks up DeAngelo. He runs DeAngelo right into the barricade and the fans go wild! DGS picks up a beaten DeAngelo and tosses him in the ring! DGS then turns his attention to Bill, he grabs Bill and pulls him to his feet but Bill retaliates with a jawbreaker to DGS! DGS falls on the outside. Bill gets up, desperate and starts aggressively stomping out DGS while holding onto the apron! Bill grabs DGS by the hair and swings him around, tossing him into the steel steps! The fans are going wild as Bill spots a hurt but recovering DeAngelo in the ring! Bill slides in and begins stalking the Hardcore Champion!
Steve White: And now Bill smells blood I the water! He needs to act quickly. He might have been able to do away with DGS for the time being but you never want to turn your back on that guy!
Chuck Thompson: Is the Northern American Champion gonna do it here tonight!? What a main event this has been!
Bill runs at DeAngelo as he gets up but Bill runs right into his boot! Bill collapses down to the mat as DeAngelo takes refuge on the ropes! DGS comes back in the ring! He and DeAngelo lock up! DeAngelo knees DGS in the gut but DGS doesn’t go down, he grabs DeAngelo and looks for a move but DeAngelo thumbs him I the eye! DeAngleo grabs DGS and quickly hits him with Vexation! The fans go wild! DGS is motionless on the mat, just as DeAngelo comes over for the cover, Bill Ryder runs up and dropkicks DeAngelo, sending him through the middle rope and to the outside!
Chuck Thompson: No!
Still out from Vexation, DGS is motionless and Bill quickly covers him!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… The Northern American Champion… Bill Ryder!
Steve White: Bill Ryder did it! Bah Gawd I think he stole one this week!!
Chuck Thompson: Watch out!
Bill gets up to celebrate but Rain comes in from behind and knocks Bill Ryder down to the mat! DeAngelo grabs Bill Ryder and pulls him out of the ring from the apron! Eli Sykes appears as well and they both pull Bill back, nailing him with a big clothesline!
Steve White: Oh no! It’s DeAngelo’s new buddies and they don’t look happy about the result of the match!
DeAngelo and Sykes join Rain and Dawson Hayes in the ring! The four men stand over a recovering DGS. He looks up at them all and shakes his head as the four rush over and start stomping the champion out!
Steve White: No! This match is over and these four from Bash’s troop are giving the champion an all out beatdown here tonight! We know Rain will meet him at Scars and Stripes but maybe they don’t want the champ to make it there!?
They continue stomping him out! Hayes grabs DGS and pulls him right into a big clothesline! Sykes runs up and drops a big leg over DGS’ chest! Rain picks DGS up after all the punishment and hits him with Hexproof! DeAngelo slides in a table from outside!
Steve White: Well… Bill Ryder has left the scene… If this was last month we might have seen Silver come out and help DGS or something but not this week! DGS has not real buddies so I think he’s going to either have to take the punishment or over come the numbers game tonight!
DeAngelo sets up the table with Sykes! Dawson Hayes picks up DGS and bounces him off of the ropes! Rain and Dawson grab a running DGS’ legs and raise him up high in the air! They bring him down into a double cutter by Sykes and DeAngelo as they put the champ through a table with a four-man flapjack maneuver! The fans are shocked as DGS lie in the debris, motionless and bleeding!
Chuck Thompson: What a move! That’s enough! That’s enough! Do they wanna kill this guy!? Someone stop this he’s the World Champion!
Rain pats DeAngelo on the back and points at a broken DGS on the mat. DeAngelo goes over and grabs DGS, locking him and wrenching him in a camel clutch!
Steve White: Oh God… This really is too much. That hold that DeAngelo has DGS locked in is strangely enough named the Soporose… DeAngelo named it himself after Blaise’s old finisher after he defeated her. What a sick man!
DeAngelo has the hold locked in tight as he wrenches up! DGS is unresponsive, beyond his pain limit as Hayes and Sykes get in the occasional stomp! Rain comes back in the ring with the EHWF Championship belt! He brings it to a locked up David Smith’s head and begins grinding it into his face, smearing blood all over the gold!
Rain: You want this huh? You think this is yours!? Come on tough guy, do something!?
DeAngelo releases the hold and shoves David’s head to he mat! Suddenly, Brandon Bash’s music goes off!
Steve White: Oh great… This is the last guy I wanted to see…
Bash stands on the stage and brings a mic to his lips.
Brandon Bash: Wow, what a display eh? I think it’s been a pretty great and successful night all around. I have to say though, after witnessing his match tonight and after seeing this display of pure skill, I’ve decided that one other man is going to be added to the EHWF Championship Extreme Hell in a Cell match at Scars and Stripes and that’s… ELI SYKES!
The fans give a mixed reaction as Eli and the others act surprised. All of them laugh and taunt out to the fans.
Steve White: You’ve gotta be kidding me! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Eli Sykes it going to Scars and Stripes! Is this a setup or did he earn it! We’ve got Rain vs. Sykes vs. DGS vs. a Mystery Opponent vs. two still to be determined competitors! I have to say, this match is looking incredible but I think the scales just tipped in the favour of Bash’s boys big time!
Eli Sykes music hits! Bash claps from the top of the stage as both Rain and Sykes grab the World Championship Belt! They raise it high above their heads as the four standing men in the ring all raise their arms in victory over David’s motionless and destroyed body! We fade out to the EHWF Logo, ending the show.
The camera pans around the whole arena, showing all the screaming fans on their feet ready for another night full of action. After a few moments of the fans going crazy, the camera pans down to ringside, where the best announcers to have ever lived, Steve White and Chuck Thompson sit.
Steve White: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Friday Night Mayhem! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better… It does! Trial of Tears was an incredible event that stunned the world! It will surely go down in history as one of EHWF’s greatest PPV’s of all time! Ultimately we saw David Smith retain against Silver Kazama in a shocking main event.
Chuck Thompson: Yeah that’s right Steve, Silver failed to defeat David GS yet again and now that arrogant asshole is our champion going into Scars and Stripes… Speaking of Scars and Stripes… We’re officially on the path to Scars & Stripes tonight! It’s going to be an amazing lead up to the biggest wrestling event in the world Steve!
Steve White: That’s right Chuck, not only has management promised a super Scars and Stripes main event but they’ve set up several ‘Impress Me’ matches to rank everyone in on the card at the PPV! Which few superstars will get the chance to fight in the main event against David Smith for the world title!?
Chuck Thompson: Well we’ll find out in the coming weeks but we’re also going to apparently see the new EHWF owner tonight! The company was bought during the middle of the week and the new owner has rumoured to want to make an appearance! I honestly can’t wait to find out who it is but speaking of management, The Chairman Black Man answers to the Board about his recent actions and fuck ups!
Steve White: Tonight will really be an eventful night Chuck but first up tonight, we find out just who the first man to hit the card at Scars and Stripes is as the following match is a qualifier for the Hardcore Championship match at the PPV! Lets get it started Chuck!
We pan to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This opening match is set for one fall and it is for the opportunity to fight at Scars and Stripes for the Hardcore Championship!
"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails would blare over the P.A System, as Van Jameson would step out from behind the curtain with a smirk across his face. His attention focused on the ring as he marched down the ramp with a blank stare, ignoring the crowd around him. He would walk up the steps and step inside the ring, immediately motioning for a microphone.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Van Jameson!
“Take em Out” by Rev Theory suddenly blares through the speakers and the titantron comes to life as Daniel Creed appears out from backstage and walks to the top of the entrance ramp with his signature bat in his hand, dragging behind him. Dressed in a normal pair of jeans and a t-shirt complete with the leather biker vest and wrapped hands he looks more like he is ready for a street fight then a wrestling match, he lifts the bat from the ground and points it down at the ring before bringing the bat down to rest on his shoulder and starts his march down to the ring. Once at ringside he takes a couple of practice swings at the steel steps and a clank rinks trough the arena with every strike, once he is done he lays his weapon down by the steps and makes his way into the ring where he removes his vest and shirt dropping them outside on top of the steel steps and waits in his corner for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Conner Creed!
DING DING DING!
Match #1: Conner Creed vs. Van Jameson
Creed and Van Jam stare across from each other. They circle each other for a while before locking up in the center! Creed knees Van in the midsection and forces him into the corner! Creed starts hammering Jam with massive shots to the face! Creed pulls Van back and then whips him into the opposing turnbuckle! Creed follows up with a massive corner clothesline! Van Jam falls to his knees grabbing the ropes for refuge but Creed runs up and clotheslines him over the top rope to the outside! The fans cheer as Creed taunts out to them. A furious Van Jam gets up on the outside but Creed runs up and dives over the top rope, hitting Van Jam with a massive crossbody on the outside!
Steve White: And Conner Creed off to a great start her tonight, performing big moves and dominating Van Jam. Creed was about a millimeter from winning the Jr Heavyweight Championship last week in one of the greatest matches I’ve seen. He looks still beat up from last week but he’s not acting like it! He’s all over Van Jam here tonight!
Chuck Thompson: Well we could be looking at our next Hardcore Champion in Creed but we all know Van Jam could end this instantly with a dreaded Van Jaminator!
Creed picks up Van Jam on the outside then tosses him right into the barricade! Van screams out in pain holding his neck. Creed shakes his head is disgust and picks Van Jam up once again! He ploughs Van right into the apron, crushing his torso! Creed grabs Van by the hair and rolls him back into the ring! Creed gets into the ring and picks Van up, tossing him into the corner! Creed takes a run up but Van jumps up and desperately drives his boot into Creeds face! The fans cheer as Van gets back up and hammers Creed in the face with big rights! Van then takes Creed to the mat with a hip and shoulder then takes a rest a ropes.
Steve White: Van Jam really fighting back into this match but he’s hurt! The damage is done and Creed may be down but he can smell blood!
Chuck Thompson: Creed wants this Hardcore Championship opportunity at Scars and Stripes! He needs it! He’s not going to let Van Jam stop him even with the Van Jaminator!
Creed gets up and Van Jam runs over hitting him with a knee to the midsection. Van Jam puts him between his legs and goes for a move but Creed lifts him up and hits him with a big body drop! Van Jam rolls around in pain, holding his back! Van Jam forces himself up to his feet but Creed runs up and takes him out with a massive clothesline from hell! Creed, feeling the effects of last week, recovers in the corner and takes a seat.
Steve White: And now Creed is showing the effects of what Aubree put him through last week in that grueling and extreme Last Man Standing match. He needs to take a moment here to recover but this is giving Van time to get up.
Chuck Thompson: Creed can’t over do it, he’s still in not 100% shape tonight but he can’t afford to let Van run away with this one here!
Creed gets up and picks up Van Jam! Suddenly a recovered Van Jam springs up and hits Creed with a massive Van Jaminator! The fans go wild as Creed hits the mat in complete pain and shock! Van Jam gets up and starts taunting out to the fans. They give him a mixed reaction, which angers him. He turns away from Creed on the mat and starts to rage at the fans that rage back! An argument erupts and while it does, a pissed off Conner Creed gets up and stalks Van Jam from behind!
Steve White: He’s up! Creed is up after that Van Jaminator!
Chuck Thompson: Van Jam took too long arguing with these fans he’s pissed off and Creed is waiting for him! Van better not turn around or pray that he has another Van Jaminator left in him!
Van Jam turns around only to be leveled with another massive Clothesline From Hell! Creed raises his arms in victory and points to the Scars and Stripes sign before covering Van Jam!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… Conner Creed!
Creed gets up and rolls Van out of the ring. He looks around and raises his arms in victory under the Scars and Stripes sign. He then gestures around his waist that he’ll be the next Hardcore Champion. We fade out to the backstage area.
We see Brandon Bash walking up the hallway. He stops at a door and knocks before entering inside. We come in to see Joanna Isabella-Rissi behind her desk. She greets Brandon with a smile and Brandon eagerly fakes one back.
Brandon Bash: Hey, what’s up?
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Hey, not much. Just going though some matches on the card for next week.
Brandon takes a look over the table at the paperwork.
Brandon Bash: Oh, I’m sure whatever you come up with will be fine. In fact, don’t worry about the paperwork you’ll have to do for the card, I’ll take care of it.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Oh thanks…
Steve White: I’m still confused why Bash is acting all nice to Joanna all of a sudden. We saw it at Trial of Tears and again tonight… Why the change of heart?
Joanna grins at Bash as he backs off.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: Sorry if your new nice guy act has thrown me off a bit… Are you sure you haven’t heard anything? Are you sure no one has told you anything?
Bash looks shocked that Joanna would ask him such a question.
Brandon Bash: What’re you talking about!? I’ve heard nothing, what an Earth do you mean!?
Joanna raises one eyebrow, not convinced. Bash looks nervous and eventually leans over the table and comes clean with a pleading emotive expression on his face.
Brandon Bash: All right! Fine! The other Board Members told me! You caught me all right, that’s why I was acting all nice!
Steve White: Wait… Told him what? They told him what!?
Brandon Bash: Listen, Joanna, regardless of what we think of each other and regardless of these recent developments… You have to let me do my job! You have to let me do what I’ve been working to do for so long! You have to let me successfully get rid of Black Man! He shouldn’t be Chairman… I can only do it with your help!
Bash looks down.
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: I agree…
Bash looks up, surprised.
Brandon Bash: Really! So you’ll let me do this!?
Joanna Isabella-Rissi: You’ve got my support, for tonight.
Bash edges closer to the door and nods at Joanna.
Brandon Bash: If you won’t interfere then I’ll handle my business and we can talk afterwards… I assume everything will go down tonight, so you me and you know who will have much to discuss. I’ll end Black Man now and then we can focus on our issues…
Bash dashes out, leaving Joanna deep in thought.
Steve White: Wait, who told him what and what does she have over him dammit?
We fade out back to the arena where Patricia Downs is ready to introduce the next match.
Patricia Downs: This following match is set for one fall!
As the opening keys to "How The Gods Kill" begin to softly echo through the arena, the lights dimming with them, a hush falls over the crowd. Austin Cross steps out from behind the curtain slowly, coming to a stop in the center of the stage, his eyes never leaving the ground. His eyes trace the crowd before he snaps his head back, mumbling lowly along with Danzig's haunting words. His jacket, a ratty old leather jacket emblazoned with his Cross logo hangs from his shoulders, casting off a haunting image as he extends his hands outward. After soaking in the murmurs of the crowd, Cross makes his way down the ramp, lips contorting into a smug smile as his heavy footfalls rebound on the cold steel. Austin pauses briefly to smile at a young boy in the front row before climbing the steel steps, exaggeratedly wiping his boots before ducking the top rope and kneeling in the middle of the ring.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Austin Cross!
Linkin Parks "Guilty All The Same" begins to play on the audio system. It is accompanied by red and yellow flashes, which light up the various aisles. Rain appears at the top of the entrance ramp, staring at the crowd. He has dark grey combat armour on, futuristic in appearance. It's skintight and covers all but his face. His hair is slicked back and he has slight stubble. He makes his way down the ramp, taking his time, approaching the ring cautiously. He stalks the combat zone for a few seconds before slithering underneath the bottom ropes and into the ring. He approaches the referee and has a quiet word in his ear. His music fades.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Rain!
DING DING DING!
Match #2: Rain vs. Austin Cross
The match begins with Rain rushing Cross and taking him down to the mat! Rain starts to pummel Cross with left and right hands on the mat in a vicious ground and pound! Rain gets up and starts stomping out Cross as the fans give off a mixed reaction. The calculating Rain takes his time, picking apart Cross’ limbs with a big stomp!
Steve White: Bah Gawd! Rain just taking it to Cross right now, not fooling around at all!
Chuck Thompson: Rain doesn’t want to waste his time. He doesn’t need to impress against someone like Austin Cross, he’s Rain!
Rain picks up Cross and drives him into the corner! He continues his domination of Cross by whipping him to the center then pulling him back and hitting him with the Hexproof making quick work of him! Rain quickly covers Cross!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… Rain!
Rain rolls Cross out of the ring and raises his arms in celebration as his music goes off. He gives an evil grin as he stares at the Scars and Stripes sign on the roof.
Steve White: Well Rain made really quick work out of Austin Cross here tonight, treating him like a little bitch and definitely impressing here tonight!
We fade out to a commercial as Rain smirks.
We come back to the ring to see four High backed redwood chairs sitting in a semi-circle in the center of the ring. In the center seat sat none other than the "Sin Incarnate" Sah'ta Thor. He was dress in his ring attire and was ready to get down to business.
Sah'ta Thor: Welcome to another edition of the Bloodworks. The last one we had revealed the fate of Scott Paine for our match at Retribution. Tonight will be just as exciting if not more so. There are several things on the agenda for tonight so let me get started. First off let me introduce to you one of the newest members of the EHWF roster and someone I know will be making an impact soon enough."
On that cue "Welcome to the Jungle" starts to play from the speakers. Savannah steps out from the back, dressed in her ring wear even though she has no match that night. She steps quickly down the aisle, stopping here and there to greet and talk with- even tease a few of the crowd who remember her from one place or another.
She finally makes her way to the ring, slipping inside and running a hand over one of the tall chairs as her music runs its course.
Savannah: Well… these bring back memories.
Sah'ta Thor: I present to you "The Wildcat" Savannah.
Thor pauses with a smirk before chuckling slightly at her comment.
Sah'ta Thor: It doesn't doesn't it? So tell the world what you think of the EHWF so far.
Savannah: Well, I wish they could have held up on their Hardcore title matches a few weeks but, otherwise…. Well it beats the last big fed I was at.
Sah'ta Thor: Indeed. Though on the Hardcore Title match front there will be a big deal at Scars & Stripes if you can get into that. So any words for the roster now that you are here?
Thor smiles slightly as he takes a quick look around before shaking his head slightly. Savannah smiles looking towards the back.
Savannah: Welcome, boys and girls, to the Wild Cat's lair. I'm here, I'm on the prowl and I'm hungry!
Sah'ta Thor: Well put Sav...With being said is there anyone on the roster that you really want to work with?
Savannah nods.
Savannah: Well, right now I'm willing to work with anyone who's willing to work with me. That said, you want to get on my bad side? Screw with me in the ring.
Sah'ta Thor: I remember when it was screw with you period.
Savannah: Always the smart ass. You know you and Wilde weren't that different in that respect. But you're right- and more. Screw with me in the ring, out of the ring. Screw with my friends, my family, my loved ones and I will have you regretting it so fast it will make your fucking head swim!
She smirks at him.
Savannah: Better?
Thor nods slowly as he takes a deep breath. Savannah nods before taking the seat on Thor's right hand side.
Sah'ta Thor: Much. Now moving on to my next piece of business. I told you all that tonight would mark the official rise of Insidious as a group. So I present to you the first of two just signed newcomers to the EHWF… first we have Jared Buxton who has been banned from competing in North America for - I believe there are still eight months left on that ban? But that doesn’t mean he can’t he a valuable part of Insidious.
The opening of Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now” rings out over the speakers, and out steps a man… an unassuming man, it must be said, of average height and a wiry build, with a huge shaggy beard and a baseball cap casting a shadow over his eerily vacant eyes. He ignores the fans entirely as he skulks to the ring, shaking his head a little every so often. He rolls under the bottom rope and crosses over to Thor, nods once, then heads to a corner and sits down cross-legged, scratching behind his ear absently.
Sah'ta Thor: As can see Jared doesn't like to talk much. Which brings us to the second EHWF newcomer. In fact, Sav you may know him from somewhere. I would like to introduce you to my protege, Aaron Fredrick Hudson!
The opening notes to Godsmack's "Bad Religion" blare through the arena as a man in blue jeans and random t-shirt with black boots, a black leather belt and a black fedora comes out from the back. He had the look of a man who could handle himself in the ring and was recognizable as a man who had been part of Thor's promo a few times over the years. At his side came a blond woman in a form fitting grey business suit and skirt combo. The pair make their way to the ring and take the remaining seats on Thor's left.
Sah'ta Thor: Welcome to the Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation Aaron.
Aaron Fredrick Hudson: Hell if a talentless hack like Mike Maddox can keep a job here than some one of my abilities should be able to find a place here. Here is a warning to all of the people in the back, I am not someone you want to mess with. There is much to be said about being part of Insidious but I will save that until a later time just know that in the end we will win this war. Oh, you don't know that war has been declared well wake up it was declared at Trial of Tears when Sah'ta Thor ambushed Billy Ryder and busted his head open on the North American Championship. My only question for you is are you ready for the future?
Thor eyes Savannah for a minute as she had not made clear her opinion of teaming with as a member of Insidious. Yet, for that he actually knew where she stood and that was going to make things interesting in the coming days.
Sah'ta Thor: So Sav are you with us or have you forgotten how I you were turned into what you are today? After all, you are probably Insidious's greatest triumph from back in the days you were running with the Youthful Image pack. Or has the bad blood from IWF destroyed that history? If you are not with us Sav you have one chance to leave this ring."
Savannah looks… surprisingly thoughtful to anyone who knew her history with Thor. Or maybe it was that history that she was thinking over- soon out loud.
Savannah: I… Look Thor. you saw who I stand with in Yokahama when Velvet brought me to you. But… it's not that simple. There are others in my life now- others who don't put the same trust in you that I once did. That I still do, really, it wasn't me who turned away. But Tim…
Sah'ta Thor: Where is Tim? I will honest I miss his aggression.
Savannah smiles at the mention of his name.
Savannah: He's backstage watching. He has a bit more time on his hands of late - but he's keeping sharp, and aggressive just waiting for another chance in a ring.
Sah'ta Thor: Well, tell you what you go back there and talk to him to see what he thinks about working with me and next week we can see where we stand. For now though the EHWF is poised on the verge of change and Insidious will push it over the edge.
With that "Ad Mortem" by Adrian von Ziegler begin to play through the arena as Mayhem goes to commercial.
We pan to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This following tag team contest is set for one fall!
The arena goes black, a chill moves through the arena as the fans are in anticipation... suddenly the sound of "Bad Guy" by Eminem hits the PA System in the sold out arena, as gold and silver lasers reflect throughout the arena... as we see the future of professional wrestling emerge through the curtain. A tall, lengthy athlete wearing a black hoodie with the words "ILL" on it as the lights flicker on, Keyshaun Jones makes his way down the ramp full of confident as he interacts with his fans. He continues down the ramp, slides under the bottom rope and spins around the ring slowly... he takes off the hoodie throws it into the crowd full of confidence, climbs the nearside turnbuckle raises his right arm to a nice ovation. Keyshaun now stands in the center of the ring ready to embark on his battle.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Keyshaun Jones!
"Planetary (Go!)" by My Chemical Romance starts playing in the arena and the arena starts filling up with cheers as the lights in the arena start flashing blue and red with spotlights shining all over the arena. As the song gets to the first verse, that's when David Arnold suddenly bursts out from the backstage area, a smirk on his face, bringing more cheers. He's wearing his usual black jeans, black Converse shoes, and a black and blue t-shirt with a black and blue hoodie over it as well as a dark blue beanie.
He stands there for a few moments before making his way down to the ring, moving his head and arms to the beat of the music. He high fives some people at rampside while doing his usual hand taunt along with the music as the people in the arena are jumping up and down with the music now. He pauses to take a picture with a fan before running to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope, then flipping up to his feet with a smile on his face. He runs over to one of the corners, getting up on it, and poses for the fans as hundreds of camera flashes go off. He then hops down and goes up on the opposite corner, doing the same there as well. He then hops back down and takes his hoodie off, tossing it out into the crowd as the music fades off and he waits for the start of the match in the corner sitting on the top rope.
Patricia Downs: And next his partner… David Arnold!
The arena lights dim as Adelitas Way’s “Scream” begins playing. A womans silhouetted figure appears on the stage, and chase lights flash all over the stage/arena and old wrestling footage plays from Rose's many matches at other wrestling federations, many focusing on the several titles she has held over the years. The silhouetted figure remains completely still with her arms at her sides and her feet shoulder width apart. As soon as the lyrics begin, the building erupts in pale green light and Rose thrusts her right fist straight up into the air. She stands for a moment, nodding her head to the music with a big smile on her face. She then skips once and struts down toward the ring, dancing somewhat provocatively and high fiving fans. As the music slows (“I want to take it too far…”), she slides into the ring. She crawls to the middle before hopping up and heading toward the far right corner. She climbs onto the top rope, keeping one foot on the second to keep balance. The lyrics continue, just before the lead singer gets into the chorus, Rose jumps from the top turnbuckle, does a flip in the air and lands as the singer yells “scream” while lip syncing. She then continues to dance, wave, and blow kisses to the audience as her music fades.
Patricia Downs: And their opponents… Introducing first… Rose
The Lights inside the arena dim and 'Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy' performed by TaTa Young; the theme of Aubree Celeste blasts over the PA System. The 'HOTMESS' makes her way through the black curtain as the crowd cheers. She raises her hands into the air then points around the arena. As they continue to cheer. As she makes her way down the ramp, she begins to shake the fans hands, before sliding into the ring. As she runs towards the turnbuckle hopping onto the middle pointing out to the fans as they cheer for her, her theme fades out as she jumps down into the ring.
Patricia Downs: And her partner… She is the Jr Heavyweight Champion… Aubree Celeste!
DING DING DING!

Steve White: That was a blatant thumb to the eye by Keyshaun to the champion! We don’t need that type of dirty tactics in this match!
Chuck Thompson: It looks like David Arnold isn’t happy at all with Keyshaun’s desperate actions!
David Arnold argues with Keyshaun from the apron, berating him about his dirty tactics. Keyshaun yells back and the two get into an exchange, which give Aubree time to recover.

Steve White: What!? That’s Sahta Thor’s music! We’re in the middle of a match, what’s he doing?
Chuck Thompson: Well that’s his music but Thor isn’t actually out here. I have no idea what’s going on…
Thor’s theme continues, still confusing the fans and the competitors. Thor makes his way out eventually. He comes down the ramp looking pissed off and mouths off at Rose. Rose is confused but as Thor gets to the bottom of the ramp the two get into a verbal exchange.
Steve White: I don’t get it… Why is Thor out here and why on Earth is he arguing with Rose right now? Is he going to ruin this match?
Aubree comes over to the corner as well and starts to argue with Thor. Everyone is confused but this gives Arnold time to recover. He runs up and hits Aubree with a forearm to the back of he head!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here are your winners… The team of David Arnold and Keyshaun Jones!
Rose gets in the ring, enraged and goes to the ref to argue that Thor hindered her response. The ref and Rose continue to argue about the result. Thor slides a chair in the ring as David and Keyshaun quickly get out!
Steve White: Thor’s not done! Thor’s not done! He’s in the ring and he slid in a chair! What the hell is he up to tonight?
Thor grabs Rose from behind and knees her in the side! He shoves her down to the mat and gets a few good stomps in!

Thor picks up Rose and hammers her back with his shoulder! He scoops up Rose and holds her on his shoulder! He walks her over to the chair on the mat and gets her in position for the Parasite Eve!
Steve White: NO! Bah Gawd! Don’t do it Thor! Why are you out here anyway! He’s going to Parasite Eve Rose right on that damn chair!
Chuck Thompson: He’s gonna end Rose’s chances of going to Scars and Stripes right here! What the fuck is this!? What’s this guys deal tonight!?
Thor holds Rose in position for the Parasite Eve as he signals out to the fans with a smirk on his face. Suddenly at the last moment, Aubree springs off of the top rope and missile dropkicks Thor, saving Rose! Thor gets up and so does Aubree but Thor quickly rolls out of the ring and walks off with a smile across his face. He berates Patricia Downs and grabs her mic off of her as he makes his way back up the ramp. Thor begins to speak.
Sahta Thor: See that one Billy Boy? See what I did there!? Where were you? Where are you? I was inches away from putting your little girlfriend away… Perhaps you care more about your Northern American Championship more then you care about her… Wait let me correct myself there… MY Northern American Championship…
The fans jeer as Thor gets to the top of the stage, staring down at a pissed off Rose in the ring.
Sahta Thor: Billy… I’m not satisfied with what went down at Trial of Tears. The title was mine and you just happened to waltz in at the last second and win the match. However, you did not pin me, you pinned Maddox. You proved nothing against me that night and I WANT ANOTHER SHOT! That’s right Bill… No Mike Maddox, just you and I one on one at Scars and Stripes for the Northern American Championship!
The fans cheer as Thor holds his arms out.
Sahta Thor: And Bill… Just in case you wanted to be a pussy and decline my challenge… Just remember what I almost did to your girl here tonight! I’ll be awaiting your answer son…
Thor turns away and drops the mic, walking behind the curtain. Rose rolls out of the ring and bolts up the ramp in a rage as we fade out to a commercial.
We open up back to the ring where we see Brandon Bash standing in the ring with two other Board Members, Caesar Circus and Jean Philippe. Bash stands with a grin on his face and a mic in his hand as he triumphantly points out at the stage.
Steve White: Oh here we go…
Brandon Bash: Well… The time has come. Everyone has been expecting it for some time now so here it is. You’ve all seen the Chairman Black Man’s horrible performance and incompetence over the past few months. You would have also seen him recklessly and biasedly try to interfere in the important EHWF Championship main event last week at Trial of Tears! It’s time for the Chairman to answer for his actions! Black Man, come the fuck out here now and face me like a man you pussy ass piece of shit!
Black Man’s music hits and a pissed off Chairman makes his way down the ramp. He points at Bash and gets in the ring, semi raging at him.
Steve White: And here comes a fired up Black Man right now!
Black Man: Bash! What the fuck do you think you’re doing motherfucker!?
Brandon Bash: What I should have done a long ass time ago you incompetent jizz stain! We all have had enough of your bullshit! You’re unfit to be in a management position in EHWF and you’re on the way out back to the streets, back to the hood tonight!
Black Man gets in Bash’s face.
Black Man: There is no chance on Earth that I’m going anywhere Bash! I am the Chairman, I’m in charge and that’s the way it’s fucking going to stay bitches. Anyone got a problem with that, then step up!
Black Man holds his arms out to Bash and the other two Board Members.
Brandon Bash: Enough of your foolish rhetoric. Remember, I was responsible for your demise last time and I’ll be responsible for finally doing away with Black Man for good here tonight. I’ve convinced the Board that I have a case against you and with my evidence here tonight, we will all vote to fire you!
Steve White: Evidence!?
Bash points a finger right into Black Man’s face as he looks back at the other two members of the Board.
Brandon Bash: Gentlemen… You hired this fool to get control of Mayhem back, yet ambushes and after match attacks have actually increased since you hired his ass! He could not accomplish the one thing you hired to do, in fact he made it worse!
Black Man: That… That’s…
Brandon Bash: That’s true and you know it!
The two Board Members nod in agreement with Bash.
Brandon Bash: This guy has made horrible decision after horrible decision that have made us all look bad! From creating duel champions to putting Van Jam in the main event on Mayhem, Black Man has fucked up time and time again and has proved with these decisions that not only is he not fit to help run this company but he doesn’t deserve to have anything to do with EHWF at all! In fact the only reason he’s not in the ring and taking up a comfy desk job is because he doesn’t have what it takes to compete anymore!
Black Man gasps as the two Board members talk amongst themselves. Brandon Bash smirks, knowing that he’s running wild over the soon to be ex-chairman right now.
Black Man: Sh… Shut your damn mouth Bash! N… None of this even fucking matters, I’m the chairman and a few words out here in the ring isn’t going to get me fired no matter who you brought with you. You’ll have to do better than that old friend.
Bash looks over to the Board Members and nod, agreeing with Black Man.
Caesar Circus: I’m sorry Bash but he’s right. There’s not enough for us and all the Board Members back at corporate to condemn Black Man out of the company right now.
Bash desperately turns around with a pleading tone in his voice.
Brandon Bash: Wait! I have a key witness, personally vilified and abused by Black Man.
The all look on surprised.
Brandon Bash: That’s right. Black Man did try and fuck up our big main event last week…
Black Man: You told me to...
Brandon Bash: …But he also took advantage and abused a hard worker and good employee as well… Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my star witness in this Black Man is a Fuck Boy trial… TQ SMOOTH!
Steve White: What!? TQ Smooth!? Bah Gawd!
TQ’s music goes off and he comes down the ramp. TQ gets in the ring and stands beside Brandon and the Board Members and shakes his head at Black Man. Brandon hands TQ a mic and comforts him.
Brandon Bash: TQ, thank you so much for joining us tonight… We know you have a big match to get to but you need to do what’s right. You need to tell us what Black Man did to you…
TQ grabs the mic.
TQ Smooth: Yeah, I’ll be glad to tell you all what this piece of shit, scum, asshole, abusive, violent, borderline psychopath douchebag did to me. He not only laid his hands on me, an employee, a wrestler during a match but afterwards he outright attacked me and I demand that Black Man be fired because of that!
Black Man: You’ve got to be kidding me.
TQ Smooth: Black Man is not capable of running Mayhem or being the Chairman. He fucks shit up constantly and now he’s resorted to physically attacking the other wrestlers and employees… Well I won’t stand for it and neither will anyone else in the back! I have a medical note from Dr. Random Rash MD that said Black Man was only inches away from possibly ending my career!
TQ hands Caesar what looks like a napkin with writing on it. Caesar reads it…
Caesar Circus: Hmm… It checks out, well that just is not good.
Black Man: Wait… He’s lying!
Brandon Bash: I have no CONFIDENCE in this man before us! This man cannot be a Chairman of EHWF! Last time I checked this was America! Land of the free! Home of the great! America, the greatest country on Earth! Black Man however doesn’t feel that way! He’d rather us be under some sort of communist rule just like he’s trying to impose on Mayhem! Well I say DOWN WITH BLACK MAN!
Steve White: What’s happening right now!? Have TQ and Brandon Bash orchestrated the demise of Black Man right now!
The Board Members nod to Bash who grins.
Caesar Circus: I’m sorry Black Man but y...
Brandon Bash: No! Let me do it! …Black Man, you lose motherfucker… YURRRRR FIAAAAADDDDDD!
Steve White: Bah Gawd!
The fans go wild and cheer as Black Man looks down. TQ and Bash rejoice in the ring as the Board Members watch on.
Steve White: Black Man just got fired! He is no longer our Chairman! Bash did it again!
Black Man puts his hands over his head and looks down. Bash laughs and parades around the ring, celebrating the 2nd time he’s vanquished Black Man from EHWF.
Brandon Bash: Well Blackie I guess its ba…
Black Man: Wait... Brandon… I thought you of all people would be smarter than that… Seriously.
Brandon Bash: What do you mean?
Black Man: You manipulated me and outsmarted me… I’ll admit it but when I realized I fucked up at Trial of Tears I knew you’d use it against me. I knew you had manipulated me so you could get rid of me...
Brandon Bash: Your point being? You’re fired son, there’s nothing you can do.
Black Man: Right... I’m no longer the Chairman you won… BUT When I realized you’d played me and that you would be after me this week, I took action, to protect myself. See, I cut a deal before tonight.
Bash looks surprised.
Brandon Bash: A deal? Oh really? What deal, I haven’t signed shit.
Black Man: Knowing the end was near, I went to Joanna Isabella and signed a Legend’s Competing Contract which entitles me to 7 matches in EHWF of the course of the rest of this year… So you may have gotten rid of my from management, but son… I’m still gonna be around!
Bash turns around, pissed off that Joanna did that when they had agreed they’d take Black Man out. Bash looks enraged and shakes his head. TQ Smooth also looks pissed off as the Board Members watch in anticipation.
Brandon Bash: Why would she do that!? Why!? Listen you piece of shit… I still won, you’re not the Chairman anymore. You have no power and I have all the power. So what, if you were able to cling onto EHWF with your pussy ass Legends Contract. Why don’t you just sign a normal contract hmm? What’s holding you back you little BITCH!?
Black Man: You mad bro? It’s not going to be that easy to kill Black Man off a second time and while I only have 7 matches out of the year, I’m still going to be around Mayhem, A LOT! I think I’ll wait until your time runs out Bash, so I can kick your ass one day! I know I can’t put my hands on you since you’re an all powerful Board Member… but now that I’m a normal Superstar…
Black Man turns around to an unsuspecting TQ Smooth and hits him with the Black Stunn! The fans go wild as Brandon and the other Board Members step back.
Black Man: …I can attack any Superstar I want. I think I’ll start my Legends Contract off with my first match… Since I have to wait until you fall from grace to kick your ass Bash… I’m going to challenge this piece of shit right here to a match at Scars and Stripes!
The fans cheer as Black Man points to a downed TQ Smooth.
Black Man: How about it TQ? You want to ruin my Chairmanship, how about I ruin your face at Scars and Stripes!? I’ll be awaiting your answer to my challenge, when you’re able to regain consciousness that is… As for you Bash, I know that you could easily revoke my Legends Contract – but you wont do that… Joanna Isabella-Rissi made the decision and for some reason she has something over you… I have no idea what it could be but these past couple of weeks she’s the only person you’ve been nice to. You’re a constant asshole to every except your friends and now Joanna… I have to wonder along with everyone else, what the GM has over you? So, will you revoke my contract?
Bash doesn’t answer and just stares at Black Man.
Black Man: I didn’t think so… Boy, she must really have something good over you!
Black Man exits the ring as TQ Smooth starts to get up. Black Man makes his way up the ramp.
Black Man: So you won Bash, I’m not the chairman anymore and it looks like I’ll have to wait to fight you but you could do us both a favour and make sure that TQ accepts my challenge at Scars and Stripes!
Black Man’s music hits, TQ goes to get out of the ring to fuck him up but Bash and Jean Philippe hold him back. Bash looks out, emotionless at Black Man as we fade to a commercial.
We come back to the ring where Patricia Downs is waiting with her mic.
Patricia Downs: This following tag team contest is set for one fall!
Tired by Stone Sour blasts over the PA systems. Michael Maddox comes on the stage and looks around the crowd before taunting the crowd as the cheer. Maddox is wearing his trademark leather jacket engraved with The Ladies Man On it. Maddox runs down to the ring and slides into the ring and jumps on the nearest turnbuckle taking his leather jacket off and throwing it into the crowd. Maddox jumps off the turnbuckle with a confident look on his face awaiting the start of the match.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Mike Maddox!
"Killem All" by KING 810 begins to blare through the speakers, echoing throughout the pitch black arena, signaling the arrival of Eli Sykes. The lights come on as Sykes makes his way through the curtain onto the stage, taking a moment to look around the packed arena. He continues his way towards the ring, slowly, with a ice cold stare on his face. When he reaches the ring, he makes his way up the steel steps then walks along the edge of the apron. He then faces the crowd and a cocky smirk stretches across his face. He steps between the ropes and enters the ring, waiting for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And next his partner… Eli Sykes!
T.Q's music blasts throughout the arena as fireworks begin to explode from the stage. T.Q comes out and walks down the ramp way with a cocky smirk on his face. Dressed in his typical black Timberland boots, and black Polo jeans, he enters into the ring and goes over to the corner and climbs onto the middle rope, just to look out into the crowd for a brief second. T.Q then jumps off the middle rope and walks over to the referee and starts to bad mouth him before his music is cut and his opponents music starts to play.
Patricia Downs: And their opponents… Introducing first… TQ Smooth
The lights go out in the arena as blue and white strobe lights light up the stage. “Not Gonna Die" by Skillet hits over the PA System with the lights flashing in time with the rhythm. The black curtain is pushed aside and Silver Kazama steps out from behind it onto the stage. The crowd erupts into cheers as Silver walks over to the left side of the stage, his arms extended out to his sides as he panders to the fans.
He walks over to the right side of the stage and taunts to the fans again to another chorus of cheers. He moves back towards the center of the stage and begins to make his way down the ramp as he slaps the hands of fans on his way down to the ring.
He slides into the ring and jumps up onto the top turnbuckle, throwing both of his arms into the air, and pointing to the sky. He climbs down before walking over to the far set of ropes, climbing on the middle rope before holding his arm up again and calling out to the fans. He climbs down once more and walks towards his corner. He pulls his shirt up over his head and throws it into the crowd as “Not Gonna Die” fades out of ear shot and the lights return to normal.
Patricia Downs: And his partner… Silver Kazama!
DING DING DING!

Patricia Downs: This following match is set for one fall!
The opening riff to "Ruina Imperii" by Sabaton echoes through the arena's speaker system as the lights dim. A few seconds pass before an almost demonic looking Sah'ta Thor. He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending. After a moment he pulls off his shirt revealing his scarred toned muscular upper body. He turns and starts pacing in the ring as he awaits his opponents much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
Patricia Downs: Introducing first… Sahta Thor!
A hush goes over the crowd as the lights lower to a level that is just above off. The sound of a woman's voice can be heard over the loud speakers. "Help me Handsome Devil! You're my only hope!" With that, "Invincible" by OK GO hits the loud speaker and the once quite crowed bursts into a earth shaking roar as Handsome Devil bursts from out behind the curtain. A huge smile spreads across his face as he looks around at all the screaming fans. He then runs down the ramp, high fiving some of the fans along the way. Not showing any sign of slowing down as he approaches the ring, Devil slides under the bottom rope and continues his way to the opposite ropes where he jumps on to the middle rope and raises his fist with a battle cry. The masked man then jumps off and heads to the middle of the ring and strikes a heroic pose. With a wink to the ladies and a thumbs up to the kids, he turns to and walks over to his corner where he takes a seat on the top rope.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… Handsome Devil!
DING DING DING!
Match #5: Handsome Devil vs. Sahta Thor
As the bell rings, the two men lock up. The crowd is clapping to get momentum building up in the start of the match. Thor quickly pulls Devil into a side headlock, as the crowd boos.
Steve White: Sah'ta Thor is getting the early advantage in this one, Chuck.
Chuck Thompson: Of course he does, Steve. He is a Hall of Famer, after all!
Devil quickly shoves Thor off of him. As Thor turns back to face Devil, he is met with a big dropkick that sends him stumbling back, tripping through the ropes. He grabs a hold of the middle rope, though, and lands on the apron. The crowd is cheering for Handsome Devil, as he runs at the turnbuckle to Thor's left. Thor has picked himself to standing on the apron, as Devil springboards off the turnbuckle and hite another big dropkick to Thor!
Steve White: BOSTON MASSIVE-TWO-TITS! Handsome Devil pulling out the heavy artillery really early in this one, Chuck!
Chuck Thompson: It's okay, though, Steve. Thor is a legend. Some weirdo in a mask like Handsome Devil doesn't even belong in the ring with Thor!
Devil looked down at a hurt Thor, then looked out at the crowd. He grabbed the top rope with his left hand, while throwing his right hand up with his right index finger pointing up st the ceiling. He began to stomp on the mat, getting the crowd to clap along with his stomps. As Thor finally stumbled back up to his feet, Devil hopped over the top rope to where he was standing on the apron with his back to Thor. Devil would then leap up, throwing his legs around and over the top rope to where he landed on the top rope with his legs, causing him to launch backwards with a springboard moonsault. Thor sees it coming, though, and just barely dives out of the way!
FANS: OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!
Chuck Thompson: SEE, STEVE!? A legend like Sah'ta Thor doesn't fall for stupid shenanigans like that!
Steve White: Certainly a smart move on Thor's part. Both men are down and the referee's count is now at 4 after Handsome Devil made that risky move to the outside...
5!
...
6!
Thor slowly starts picking himself back up, and stumbles over to the ring.
7!
Devil rolls around, holding his arms over his stomach, gasping for air. The crowd is on their feet as Thor rolls into the ring.
8!
...
9!
Devil scrambles on his knees to the ring. Right after the referee is about to count to ten, Devil manages to roll under the bottom rope and into the ring! Thor looks disappointed, as the crowd goes crazy.
Steve White: Handsome Devil gets back into the ring right at the last second! Thor isn't going to get that easy of a win over our resident bacon lover, Chuck!
Chuck Thompson: Yeah, yeah, Steve. Whatever...Thor will put him away here in a minute...
Thor pushes himself up to his feet, and signals for the Parasite Eve to a chorus of boos.
Chuck Thompson: Told ya, Steve. Time for Parasite Eve!
Devil finally pulls himself up to his feet, and stumbles into Thor. Thor easily lifts Devil up and onto his right shoulder in Oklahoma slam position. The crowd go wild, as Bill Ryder suddenly runs down to the ring, hopping onto the apron! He points and yells at Thor, while also holding the North American Championship up into the air.
Chuck Thompson: Bill Ryder! We knew it was coming!
Steve White: Well, Thor did make sure to involve Rose into this!
Thor looks over at Bill while still holding Devil over his shoulder. He lets Devil slide off of his shoulder as he steps towards Bill, yelling back at him and pointing at the North American Championship. Bill just stops yelling, and then flashes a big grin at Thor. Bill would then point behind Thor, as he hopped off of the apron. Thor annoying turned his attention back to Devil...who was waiting just for him to do so. Devil runs up and jumps at Thor, hooking Thor's head with his right arm as he uses the momentum to get in some spin as he jumps up into the air. They do a complete one-eighty spin before Devil lands on his ass, causing Thor to fall into a shoulder jawbreaker.
Steve White: After a distraction from Bill Ryder, Handsome Devil is able to surprise Thor with the Pen 15! This one's over!
Chuck Thompson: NO! IT CAN'T BE! THOR IS A LEGEND, DAMN IT!
Devil quickly jumps over to Thor, hooking a leg as he goes for the pin.

Patricia Downs: Here is your winner... Handsome Devil!
Chuck Thompson: And the rivalry between Bill and Thor intensifies!
The crowd goes nuts as the bell rings. Handsome Devil slowly climbs to his feet, as the referee comes over and attempts to raise Devil's arm in victory. Devil flinches as he does so, and holds an arm across his ribs. He still can't help but flash a big smile, as Thor rolls over, pounding his fist into the mat in anger while "Invincible" by OK GO begins to play throughout the arena... We fade out to a commercial.
As we come back to the arena we pan around to all of the fans through the crowd. Patricia Downs makes no announcement as we continue to pan through all the fans. Just as they grow confused, all of the lights go out and the entire arena is in pitch-black darkness. The fans cheer but then get quiet. They eagerly await but nothing happens.
Steve White: I think this is it! The moment we've all been waiting for!
Everyone is still left in complete darkness. The broadcast team goes quiet as everyone waits... Still after some time nothing occurs as everyone is left in the dark. Suddenly a few blue lights hit as Headlines by Drake hits the PA System and all the fans get to their feet, cheering and going wild!
Steve White: BAWWH GAWD! It can't be! It can't be! He's the new owner!?
Suddenly Michael Rissi makes his way onto the stage after an almost 7 month long absence from EHWF! The fans go absolutely crazy as Rissi starts performing theatrics all around the stage! Pyro goes off as the lights shoot back to normal and Rissi begins to make his way down the ramp and to the ring!
Fans: AHHHHHH! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!
Steve White: BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD, BAH GAWD, I can't believe this! Michael Rissi has returned home to EHWF just a few weeks out from the biggest wrestling show in the history of the world! How can he be the new owner!?
Chuck Thompson: Well... What a fucking surprise this is. I have to say I had a lot of people in mind for a new owner but Michael Rissi wasn't one of them. I guess some unanswered questions make sense now...
Steve White: Well these fans are the loudest we've seen in a while! I'm still in shock myself as we suspect Michael Rissi to reveal himself as the new owner of EHWF!
With all the fans going hard with their deafening cheers, Rissi makes his way to the ring and gets inside it, grabbing a mic from a producer first. He stands in the center of the ring and waits a few minutes for the fans to quiet down. He smiles as he brings the mic to his lips.
Michael Rissi: It really is GOOD to be back!
The fans go back to cheering as loud as they can.
Michael Rissi: Let me just say now that yes, I am the new owner of EHWF! I purchased the company officially late Thursday night last week!
The fans react positively, giving a standing ovation and mass of cheers.
Fans: Oh Shit! Oh Shit!
Steve White: Well I really will be a son of a bitch... Our new owner, who could have seen this one coming?
Chuck Thompson: I'm just as shocked as you are Steve but the fans are loving this! After all we've witness tonight on the Path to Scars & Stripes I didn't think anything else could shock me, but clearly I was wrong...
Michael Rissi: I know all of y'all are probably pondering about where I've been. The last time you would have seen me was at the Hall of Fame show in January and the last time I had a match was against Black Man a year ago at Scars and Stripes.
Steve White: It's true. It has been a long time. What a perfect way to return. I just want to know how he pulled it off.
Michael Rissi: The story is this... You all saw me get injured at the classy hands of David GS at the Hall of Fame show... I spent 3 weeks in the hospital then I got out and nursed my injuries. While I was at home I watched Mayhem... I saw good things and bad things. Most shocking was Scorpion's resignation from the company. The whole time I was watching though... I never felt the need to hurry back or even come back for that matter. I felt I had nothing left to prove, not even to poor DGS, I felt I has nothing left to do... Until now that is...
Chuck Thompson: So he bought the fucking company...
Michael Rissi: So after seeing Scorpion leave, I got up... I got up and started focusing on EHWF more and more... Well after I got married of course... But you guys already knew that right?
The fans erupt in more cheers and claps as Rissi takes a moment and looks out at the crowd.
Michael Rissi: I bought EHWF after furiously fighting with other serious bidders. I thought, love him or hate him, Scorpion is the man responsible for creating the greatest and biggest wrestling federation on the planet and its done so much for me. The least I could do was continue that legacy but pushing it in the right direction and with my management and guidance it'll only move forward.
Steve White: Well now it makes sense... At Trial of Tears Brandon Bash found out from the Board Members that Rissi might be buying the company... Of course Joanna would have known this before anyone because she's his wife... That's what Joanna had over Bash and that's why Bash turned into the nice guy...
Chuck Thompson: No shit Sherlock. Great detective work Steve.
Rissi gestures for the fans to calm down as he begins to speak again.
Michael Rissi: That being said let me waste no more time. I'm overjoyed to back in EHWF and owner and I've promised you all an amazing future of this product. With the biggest and greatest wrestling event ever only a few weeks away, what am opportunity this will be! Management decided on a big EHWF Championship match at Scars and Stripes hence the many qualifiers and Impress Me matches we've seen tonight... Well I sat down with many forms of management and I was able to come up with a final main event for Scars and Stripes!
Fans: AHHHHHHH!
Steve White: They've decided on the main event for Scars and Stripes! This really is an amazing night Chuck!
Rissi waits for the fans to quiet down before he brings the mic back to his lips to introduce the Scars and Stripes main event.
Michael Rissi: At Scars & Stripes 2014... It's going to be... A 6 Man Extreme Hell in a Cell match for the EHWF Championship!
Fans: AHHHHHH!
Steve White: BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! A 6 Man Extreme Hell in a Cell match for the EHWF Championship at Scars & Stripes! That's amazing! That's down right incredible! 6 men, one title on the greatest night of them all!
Chuck Thompson: Every fan just got back up to their feet after an announcement like that! We can't even hear ourselves talk right now! That match is going to be incredible!
The cheering continues for quite some time as Rissi claps along. The tron flickers on showing DGS and 5 other mystery silhouettes!
Michael Rissi: David Smith will go to Scars & Stripes the champ and defend against 5 other guys... Right now I can reveal some names to you... See I was a little late to the party and in preparation for this announcement I didn't watch any matches tonight but someone on management was impressed by one particular superstar in an Impress Me match tonight and pushes for him to be thrust into the match... Ladies and Gentlemen... The first person to qualify for the main event at Scars & Stripes will be... RAIN!
The fans give a mixed reaction as Rain's image appears next to DGS on the tron. Steve White narrates sarcastically.
Steve White: Hmm... Well I wonder who pushed for Rain to get a spot in this match? Hmm?
Michael Rissi: Well... No more people have actually qualified for this main event match at Scars & Stripes but I will reveal that there is a certain entrant that has been considered and hand picked by the current management on Mayhem... A decision that was made before I even secured the company! Nonetheless, this mystery entrant will be revealed once they're secured for the night!
A question marked figure appears over one of the silhouettes on the tron. The fans cheer yet give a mixed vibe at the unknown entrant.
Steve White: An unknown entrant picked by Management!? I wonder who it could be Chuck!?
Chuck Thompson: Who cares... We have one of the biggest Scars & Stripes main events to look forward to now! DGS is going to have his hands fucking full!
Michael Rissi: So we have 2 confirmed members of the Scars and Stripes main event and one random entrant. That leaves three members of the roster still able to qualify for the main event next week in Impress Me matches on Mayhem!
Steve White: The whole locker room is going to be tearing each other apart next week to get a shot at the Scars and Stripes main event and the Championship!
Michael Rissi: This all being said... Let me just wish everyone on the Mayhem Roster good luck in placing on the Scars and Stripes card based on their performances next week on Mayhem! Thank you EHWF, now enjoy the main event!
Rissi's music hits as the fans go crazy again. He gets out of the ring and walks back up the ramp.
Chuck Thompson: Well... I don't even know what to say... After all those announcements - we have a new owner, we have a big Scars and Stripes Championship main event and we've all got the shock of our lives I think... What a night!
Rissi disappears backstage as we fade out to a promo for the Champion vs. Champion vs. Champion main event up next!
We come back from the video package to Patricia Downs standing in the ring eagerly waiting to announce the main event for tonight.
Patricia Downs: This following Champion vs. Champion vs. Champion contest is set for one fall!
"My reign is as far as your eyes can see"
The arena would become pitch black. There would be a few seconds of silence just before "Amazing" by Kanye West would blare throughout the arena. The fans who have filled their seats would now turn their attention towards the entrance ramp as a figure would emerge from behind the black curtain. There, at the center edge of the stage stood the North American champion, Bill Ryder. His face coated with a thick beard, his eyes glaring forward towards the ring, but his presence and composure remained calm. The expressionless champion would slowly make his way down the ramp, biding his time as he stepped past the fans who seemed to swarm him, but not even they could affect his focus. The focused champion would step inside the ring and make his way towards the center of the ring. It was here where he would remove the hood from his head, as his eyes would raise up towards the crowd, as a sinister smile would make it's mark across his face.
Patricia Downs: Introducing First... He is the Northern American Champion... Bill Ryder!
As everyone is expecting Chris DeAngelo to come out Brandon Bash’s music goes off as everyone looks on in confusion.
Steve White: What’s this? Why is Brandon Bash coming out? Where’s the Hardcore Champion!? We’ve seen enough of Bash tonight!
Bash stands on the stage and brings a mic to his face. Ladies and Gents… Let me just introduce the newest member of our faction… Please make welcome… The Hardcore Champion… Chris DeAngelo!
Steve White: What!? DeAngelo joined Bash!?
As the modern day Sinatra, Michael Buble's cover of I've Got the World on a String begins to play through the P.A. System, the tune is challenged by the heap of boos from the audience. Their roars of disapproval only spike when the Venetian born Chris DeAngelo, sporting his typical pair of black trunks with his gilded surname across the rear, kneepads and boots, emerges through the curtain, along with the EHWF Hardcore Championship that sits wrapped around his waist and the black t-shirt with the likeness of his company Silverscreen in a fine, silver text. A million dollar smile lay on his face as he halts his walk at the end of the stage and shakes Brandon Bash’s hand. He doesn't sit for long, and makes his way down the ramp where his strut sometimes finds itself jiving to the tune heard loud inside the packed stadium. His walk up the steps and into the ring finds someway to be even more arrogant, to the crowd's disdain. Once in the ring, he finds himself up one of the turnbuckles closest to the announce desk. With pride evident, he unstraps the title and hoists it high above his head with his right hand. His music begins to fade as he slings the title over his shoulder and steps off the turnbuckle.
Steve White: Oh I don’t believe this… DeAngelo joins Bash and The Legion in Bash’s little faction… I’m not surprised to be honest.
Patricia Downs: And next... He is the Hardcore Champion... Chris DeAngelo!
The choral build of "Birthright" signals the impending arrival of David Smith. The arena is filled with dim, cold blue light punctuated by white strobes that pulse in time with the opening riff, and white lasers form a shimmering archway around the entrance. The EHWF Champion appears as the first verse begins, garbed in all-black, a floor-length duster swirling around his lean frame. Notably absent from his person is the title belt itself, and the fans begin to raucously boo DGS as he stands atop the ramp, surveying the darkened arena with a slow, measured turn of the head. With equal slowness he raises his arms up from his sides, extending them out to either side of him and fully splaying his fingers, opening himself up to the fans' hatred. Basking in it, even.
He lowers his arms after a few moments and starts down the ramp, now solely focused on the ring. Ascending the steel steps, he walks to the center of the apron and turns outward, surveying the crowd once again, his face a mask of unassailable calm. He strikes the same pose as before, raising his arms and fully opening his hands, before stepping through the ropes into the ring. After removing his duster and tossing it to the outside, he goes to one corner and leans his back against it, waiting patiently for the match to begin.
Patricia Downs: And finally... He is the EHWF Champion and the current champion of the world... He is... David Gideon Smith!
DING DING DING
Main Event: David Gideon Smith vs. Chris DeAngelo vs. Bill Ryder
The bell rings and the match begin. DeAngelo quickly clocks Bill in the face with a running forearm! Bill fires back with a right hand but DeAngelo comes back with one of his own!

DGS hits Bill with a corner clothesline sending Bill falling seated in the corner! DeAngelo runs up and hits Bill with a running corner knee straight to the head! The fans gasp at the sight. DeAngelo raises his arms, proud of himself but DGS grabs him from behind and throws DeAngelo into the corner ringpost, shoulder first!
Steve White: DeAngelo and DGS really messed Bill up there in a ruthless display where it looked like they were aligning themselves. DeAngelo, now a member of Bash's troop has no need for more friends I guess.
Chuck Thompson: It's no surprise to me that an asshole like DeAngelo would join an asshole like Bash. But... What I love about this match is that none of these three men like each other, in fact they probably all hate each other!
DGS grabs DeAngelo by the head and pulls him back, slamming him into the mat! Bill runs up and nails DGS with a forearm to the back from behind!

KICK OUT!
Steve White: DeAngelo the Hardcore Champion bringing his Hardcore distinction to the table and takes both his opponents out with a steel chair! However, it wasn't enough to put away Bill.
Chuck Thompson: Bill is really gonna try to win this one tonight. It would really put him back on the map. But I can't help but think Thor's latest mind game and his challenge earlier tonight will be distracting in the back of Bill's mind.
DGS grabs DeAngelo from behind and hits him with a back bodydrop! DGS then gets up and bounces off the ropes, running up and hitting DeAngelo with a somersault legdrop on the mat! DGS covers Chris!

KICK OUT!
DeAngelo kicks out and DGS goes to hammer him in the head with a right hand but Bill comes up and grabs DGS by his hair and tosses him to the mat!

KICK OUT!
Steve White: DeAngelo tryna pull a fast one there but Bill was ready!
Chuck Thompson: There's so much to prove in this match right now Steve. Which Champion will be the victor at the end of this night!? I got big bucks on DGS!
DeAngelo gets to his feet and lines a slowly standing Bill up. Just before DeAngelo can stand though, DGS rushes back in and hits the Hardcore Champion with a Spear! The fans go crazy as DeAngelo is almost broken in two! DGS gets to his feet and lines Bill up but Bill is expecting it so he forces DGS in tie up!

The fans gasp as a now bleeding Bill drops to the outside in a heap. DeAngelo grabs the steel chair he threw out earlier and goes to get back in the ring with it but DGS bounces off the ropes in the ring and baseball slides the steel chair right into DeAngelo's face! DeAngelo drops next to Bill on the outside, yelling in pain!
Steve White: This ones getting extreme Chuck! DGS is the only one left standing at the moment and that's not what these other champions want right now!
Chuck Thompson: The Northern American or Hardcore Champion would love to get a victory on the World Champion but I think DGS has already calculated this one in his cunning mind tonight!
DGS goes on the outside and picks up DeAngelo. He runs DeAngelo right into the barricade and the fans go wild! DGS picks up a beaten DeAngelo and tosses him in the ring! DGS then turns his attention to Bill, he grabs Bill and pulls him to his feet but Bill retaliates with a jawbreaker to DGS! DGS falls on the outside.

Steve White: And now Bill smells blood I the water! He needs to act quickly. He might have been able to do away with DGS for the time being but you never want to turn your back on that guy!
Chuck Thompson: Is the Northern American Champion gonna do it here tonight!? What a main event this has been!
Bill runs at DeAngelo as he gets up but Bill runs right into his boot! Bill collapses down to the mat as DeAngelo takes refuge on the ropes! DGS comes back in the ring! He and DeAngelo lock up!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… The Northern American Champion… Bill Ryder!
Steve White: Bill Ryder did it! Bah Gawd I think he stole one this week!!
Chuck Thompson: Watch out!
Bill gets up to celebrate but Rain comes in from behind and knocks Bill Ryder down to the mat! DeAngelo grabs Bill Ryder and pulls him out of the ring from the apron! Eli Sykes appears as well and they both pull Bill back, nailing him with a big clothesline!
Steve White: Oh no! It’s DeAngelo’s new buddies and they don’t look happy about the result of the match!
DeAngelo and Sykes join Rain and Dawson Hayes in the ring! The four men stand over a recovering DGS. He looks up at them all and shakes his head as the four rush over and start stomping the champion out!
Steve White: No! This match is over and these four from Bash’s troop are giving the champion an all out beatdown here tonight! We know Rain will meet him at Scars and Stripes but maybe they don’t want the champ to make it there!?
They continue stomping him out! Hayes grabs DGS and pulls him right into a big clothesline! Sykes runs up and drops a big leg over DGS’ chest! Rain picks DGS up after all the punishment and hits him with Hexproof! DeAngelo slides in a table from outside!
Steve White: Well… Bill Ryder has left the scene… If this was last month we might have seen Silver come out and help DGS or something but not this week! DGS has not real buddies so I think he’s going to either have to take the punishment or over come the numbers game tonight!
DeAngelo sets up the table with Sykes! Dawson Hayes picks up DGS and bounces him off of the ropes! Rain and Dawson grab a running DGS’ legs and raise him up high in the air! They bring him down into a double cutter by Sykes and DeAngelo as they put the champ through a table with a four-man flapjack maneuver! The fans are shocked as DGS lie in the debris, motionless and bleeding!
Chuck Thompson: What a move! That’s enough! That’s enough! Do they wanna kill this guy!? Someone stop this he’s the World Champion!
Rain pats DeAngelo on the back and points at a broken DGS on the mat. DeAngelo goes over and grabs DGS, locking him and wrenching him in a camel clutch!
Steve White: Oh God… This really is too much. That hold that DeAngelo has DGS locked in is strangely enough named the Soporose… DeAngelo named it himself after Blaise’s old finisher after he defeated her. What a sick man!
DeAngelo has the hold locked in tight as he wrenches up! DGS is unresponsive, beyond his pain limit as Hayes and Sykes get in the occasional stomp! Rain comes back in the ring with the EHWF Championship belt! He brings it to a locked up David Smith’s head and begins grinding it into his face, smearing blood all over the gold!
Rain: You want this huh? You think this is yours!? Come on tough guy, do something!?
DeAngelo releases the hold and shoves David’s head to he mat! Suddenly, Brandon Bash’s music goes off!
Steve White: Oh great… This is the last guy I wanted to see…
Bash stands on the stage and brings a mic to his lips.
Brandon Bash: Wow, what a display eh? I think it’s been a pretty great and successful night all around. I have to say though, after witnessing his match tonight and after seeing this display of pure skill, I’ve decided that one other man is going to be added to the EHWF Championship Extreme Hell in a Cell match at Scars and Stripes and that’s… ELI SYKES!
The fans give a mixed reaction as Eli and the others act surprised. All of them laugh and taunt out to the fans.
Steve White: You’ve gotta be kidding me! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Eli Sykes it going to Scars and Stripes! Is this a setup or did he earn it! We’ve got Rain vs. Sykes vs. DGS vs. a Mystery Opponent vs. two still to be determined competitors! I have to say, this match is looking incredible but I think the scales just tipped in the favour of Bash’s boys big time!
Eli Sykes music hits! Bash claps from the top of the stage as both Rain and Sykes grab the World Championship Belt! They raise it high above their heads as the four standing men in the ring all raise their arms in victory over David’s motionless and destroyed body! We fade out to the EHWF Logo, ending the show.
