Class as always. The poster is super funny.

take this with all the admiration with which it's meant.

Your a Stark Raving Creative Genius, I really think you should get it diagnosed, they might call it nevermore syndrome or something. :p

seriously man i wish i had the money to start up a promotion and hire you just so the world can see you at work

[W3LSHY]

Lmao. Great show aswell. Just to let you know aswell, in the Raven/Taker write up, Rhino is mentioned several times before he even apears in the match ;)

Pure gold mate.

Sweet. Cheers, boys; I was biting my nals wondering if people might take offence to various sections :p.

So do I, mate. So do I :D. Seriously, thank you.

I wonder if I can put that on my CV. Hmmm...

...but, in fairness, if anything, I've got Heyman Syndrome and even that is overstating it. Ta, though; very much appreciate.

Thank you; sorted now. I was damn tired when that was posted!

Another setback for ECW
by Mike Johnson

ECW is surely used to the bumpy road towards success but, today, it just got a whole lot more difficult to travel. In a sudden but not overly-surprising move, CBS have pulled out of their contract with ECW and Blood Sweat & Beers has been dropped from the schedule. According to CBS executives:

Over recent months, we have become increasingly aware of the risque nature of the ECW promotion. We at CBS feel that this is not the programming best suited to an evening timeslot on our network.

In other words, without the press spiel, the executives were paying close attention to Summer Assylum last night and were distressed by some of the more "edgy" angles that featured - CM Punk's table bump immediately springs to my mind. Sadly, it seems that the folks at CBS are not willing to acknowledge ECW's ability to shape the product for the situation (i.e. saving the risque nature for MTV2 and pay-per-view).

To make matters worse, two pay-per-view companies with which ECW was dealing have taken the news as a doomsday prophecy, pulling out of their contracts with the promotion as well. However, Heyman and co immediately showed their resolve, immediately landing BS&B a new slot on FX, with whom they had already been speaking in case of such an emergency.

In my view, this doesn't put ECW back to square one. Far from it; the WWF still has to be mighty careful not to lose its audience to the, arguably, creatively superior competition. This just means ECW's rise to prominence will be that bit tougher but, hey, if there's one promotion that can whether a storm...

[darthsiddus2]

what do u expect? if your going to put your "risque" promotion on a network like CBS in real life they would watch you like a hawk!

Indeed, I've done this in the editor, though. Figured that, since I have the chance to alter such aspects of the gameworld, I might as well make things a little more realistic/challenging.

I was going to mention that, but we knew what you were talking about, so I decided to let you get away with it :P

Yes... I will recommend not having two main eventers of a similar in-ring style, both with the name of an animal beginning with "R", feuding over the same title. Sometimes it does get confusing :D.

The "meet the Dudleys" thing was pure gold my friend. Love it, love it, love it. I know you were worried about how this whole Dudley clan thing would go down but it seems like the people are giving it a big thumbs up!

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Owen Hart vs. Lance Storm
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpg

Little has been seen of Hart since his loss in the Triangle Match at Wrestlepalooza. This is his chance to re-establish himself at the top of the card. Meanwhile, Lance Storm hopes to make up for his loss at the World Cup by scoring the upset.



Kurt Angle vs. JerryLynn
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

It should be noted that this match remains only semi-confirmed. Lynn has laid down an emphatic challenge but it is unclear whether Angle will change his story regarding his "condition". What is clear is that, should these two face-off, it will be one hell of a contest!



The Great Sasuke vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpg

The sWo were eliminated by Japan at the World Cup and their leader threw down a challenge to any member of the Japanese squad that dared accept. The man who did was Yoshihiro Tajiri and "Big Sasuke Cool" will have quite the obstacle to contend with.



Christopher Daniels vs. Juventud Guerrera
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

Christopher Daniels cost Juvi Guerrera his shot at the Television Title for unknown reasons. Guerrera claims he couldn't give a sh*t about Daniels' motives; he just wants to make him pay. With Francine at ringside and an appearance from AJ Styles likely, this match will be nothing if not eventful.



The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Hardcore Innovators
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

After being DDT'd by Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer last night at Summer Assylum, the Tag Champs have a chance at some retribution in this non-title encounter. This could be damn important in terms of momentum as well. The Whole F**kin' Show will be keen to look strong in view of a likely rematch with The Dudley Boyz. As for Cactus and Dreamer, a win here would put them right back in the title hunt which they so clearly desire.



Rhino vs. Sabu
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Rhino has been nothing short of a one man wrecking crew recently and he has staked his claim at the top of the card with his involvement in last night's title match. However, that could all change as he faces ECW legend, Sabu. As we have witnessed many times, anything is possible when The Human Highlight Reel is involved... just look at his shock title win in December. A truly fantastic prospect for fans of hardcore wrestling, this match is only added to by the X factor that is "The Soul Taker". Will Calaway pay Rhino a return visit? Will the staunchly independent Sabu allow it?

Owen Hart vs. Lance Storm

i like both but i think its going to be owen

Kurt Angle vs. JerryLynn

non it ends in a no contest


The Great Sasuke vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri

sasuke has to win to revenge the mascarade and because he is the stable leader of the sWo, so he needs to look at least a little bit of strong.

Christopher Daniels vs. Juventud Guerrera

because aj is going to interfere.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Hardcore Innovators

no contest again thakns to the dudleys, and then it will end in a 3 way tag team match(tlc maybe?)

Rhino vs. Sabu

that guy is on fire...

Yeah man. Some, I've carried their personalities over from the previous data and others I have "estinated" what their personality would be based upon their experinces. So, a few for instances:


'Cos this started in '94, Shawn Michaels isn't the born again Christian he is in real life. He's still a backstage nightmare.
I've set Burchill to be a bit of a Prima Donna. I figure having such a good run so young would kinda make your head swell.
Juvi Guerrera isn't a politician but is the very definition of "Flaky".
Jerry Lynn is still the awesome nice guy he always is/was/will be.

Trell's hit the money I'm afraid, boys. 10 points to him :p.

Game started way back on '04. I then updated to '05 and started the dynasty. Then, I updated it to '07 and sorted out the stats - hence why all the ridiculous amounts A*s ceased :D.

Yes, I do plan to continue this on '08. I've just booked my last show on '07 which should be up as soon as I have the time to write it out.

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first episode of ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers to be broadcast love on FX! I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Thanks, Joey. I say we give FX something to know that they've invested in the right company tonight.
Joey: I couldn't agree more and, in vies of the matches that are on tonight's crad, I don't think we should have any trouble doing that.
Taz: Particularly with the after effects of Summer Assylum still to come. I mean, man, can you imagine how pissed Calaway is gonna be with Rhino?
Joey: ...and that's not all, Juventud Guerrera wants some retribution of his own on Christopher Daniels, while the Whole F**kin' Showare still hanging on to their Tag Titles despite two fantastic duos snapping at their heels.
Taz: Oh, man, let's get to it!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpg
The match is an impressive technical display and a great way to kick off the show.
Owen Hart forces Storm to tap to the Sharpshooter at 10:17
Match Rating: B-

Chris Jericho appears at the entrance way.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg

Jericho: Good show, Owen. Good show.

Owen glares up the aisle-way.

Jericho: What? You act like I'm not genuine. I mean, seriously, for a guy who's closing in on retirement, arthritis and old person's homes, that was an above average performance.

Hart, unamused, motions that Jericho should watch his words.

Jericho: But, despite your efforts being a true inspiration for asll those facing a midlife crisis, I'm afraid to say that you're in the wrong place. You may be about ready to go out to pasture, Owen, but ECW is too intense a place for a last hurrah. What is it, nearly nine months you've been here now and you haven't even come close to a title?

The "OWEN! OWEN! OWEN!" chants ring out as Hart looks increasingly pissed.

Jericho: Don't take this as an insult, man. I was big fan of yours, a massive fan, in fact, before I realised that wearing skimpy pink lycra and cutting your hair into a mullet that would disgrace even Billy-Ray Cyrus just isn't that cool. So, here's a free tip from a former fan to a former athlete, go back to the Federation, where having a few extra pounds around the centre is a good thing and don't waste your time embarrasing yourself or, more imporatntly, the great nation of Canada by sticking around here any longer.

Owen takes a mic from a ring hand.

Owen: Hey, do you know who the f**k I am? You don't disrespect someone of my stature if...

Jericho: ...and what stature is that? Hunchbacked, overweight, bowing at the knees?

Owen: Ten years ago, you'd have had your ass kicked for even insinuating that...

Jericho: (adopts an elderly accent) Back in my day, sonny, we had respect for our elders. (drops the accent) Well, guess what, Owen? It ain't your f**king day anymore. Oh, and by the way, ten years ago, I was a World Champion an achievement I have more far chance of revisiting than a semi-crippled old hack like you!

Jericho motions to the crowd, who respond with notable animosity, before heading to the back.

Taz: Wow, I don't know whether to admire Jericho's confidence or criticise his stupidity!
Joey: Well, one way or another you can certainly criticise his sheer lack of respect.

Jerry Lynn comes to the ring awaiting the arrival of Kurt Angle.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

Angle does not appear.

Joey: Well, we always said this match wasn't a definite and it looks like Angle has pulled a no-show.

Angle's music hits and the Olympic Hero appears at the entrance-way.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg

Taz: I think you spoke to soon, Joe.

Angle: Jerry, my friend, I'm sorry to put you in a position but I'm afraid my situation has not changed. My broken neck still prevents me from competing and I doubt that will be changing anytime soon.

Lynn: That's a crock of sh*t, Kurt, and you know it! You jumped me from behind during the World Cup Quarter-Final!

Angle: As I said, Jerry, that episode was diagnoased as Subconscious Independent Retribution The...

Lynn: Horesh*t, Kurt! Horse-f**king-sh*t! There's no such damn symptom and there is no way you are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress, you lying son of a bitch. Y'know, the bit that pisses me off the most is that you'd put all of this on during an on-screen angle, so that these fans and even I had all the sympathy in the world for you... and how do you repay it Kurt... with this stab in the f**king back! Now, either you come down here so I can kick you ass or I'm coming up there!

Chris Hero makes an appearance.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Hero: Hey, dickbreath, are you deaf?

Taz: What the hell does this kid want?
Joey: Well, we know Chris Hero has a habit of involving himself in business that doesn't concern him. Remember his confrontation with "The Soul Taker" a few weeks ago?

Hero: It's well known that I am the Saviour of ECW and one of the responsibilities that comes with such a title is standing up for those who cannot defend themselves. So, Mr Angle, it would be an honour for me to take your place in this match.

Angle nods in acceptance.

Joey: Is he joking?
Taz: I don't think so, Joey. I think we've got a match on our hands.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg
The match is a fairly even contest but Jerry Lynn's experience shows as he controls the pace.
He pins Hero following a Cradle Piledriver at 11:43
Match Rating: B-

Joey: ...and I don't think anyone here is surprised that Jerry Lynn is perfectly capable of shutting Chris Hero's mouth.
Taz: Well, hold up their Joe, I don't think Hero's done by a long shot.

Indeed, Chris Hero jumps Lynn from behind after the bell and lays in the boots.
Kurt Angle looks distraught as his long-time friend is beaten senseless in the ring. However, he does not intervene.

Joey: Jerry Lynn's getting the crap kicked out of him and Angle's doing nothing.
Taz: Come on, Joey. He has a broken neck.
Joey: No way, Taz. Kurt Angle having a broken neck seems about as likely as hearing some decent play-by-play from Jim Ross. This was his chance to prove he hadn't sold out Jerry Lynn and, in my eyes, at least, he's failed to do that pretty emphatically!

Backstage, Mark Calaway strides up to Paul Heyman.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

Heyman: Taker, what can I do for...

"The Soul Taker" lifts up the Chief Talent Official by his throat.

Taker: Cut the f**king pleasantries, Paul E. I came here trying to make friends and that's done f**k all for me. So, here's the thing, I want something and you have the power to give me what I want.

Heyman coughs and splutters, turning red in the face.

Taker: ...and I have the power to throw you right through this wall. Understood?

Heyman does his best to reply.

Heyman: I know... you want Raven but I can't just...

Taker slams Paul against the corridoor wall.

Taker: Hell no! I want Rhino and I want that son of a bitch at Heatwave!

Heyman merely nods, clearly close to passing out.
Calaway drops him and walks off as the boss slumps to the floor.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg
The match is a decent, aerial based spectacle.
Juvi Guerrera maintains the upper-hand throughout and, surprisingly, AJ Styles does not appear.

Raven is in a dark corner of the arena, backstage

Raven: Watch your thoughts for they become your words. Watch your words for they become your actions. Watch your actions for they become your habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. What about me? What about Raven? My thoughts are never less than greatness and, thus, in greatness shall my destiny forever remain. Even when the popular prophecy cried out that I would lose my title, I remained victorious as I always will and, while it is a fearful thing to love what death can touch, I fear death no more than he fears me.

The match is an extremely even contest and a great example of the depth of the ECW roster.
In the tenth minute, Tajiri sets up The Great Sasuke for a Brainbuster Suplex.

However, Oz emerges from under the ring with a lead pipe.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpg

The face-painted weirdo clocks Tajiri in the back of the head, allowing his master to hit the Michinoku Driver.

The rest of the Sasuke World Order make their way to the ring.

Espiritus offers Sasuke a flag that bears the ECW logo.
Cuervo and Escoria then pull out cans of spraypaint and, in red and black, paint the logo of the sWo.

Sasuke: WE'RE OVERTAKING!

Joey: I have to say; I find it difficult to remember what ECW was like without a maniacal masked-man hellbent on World domination.
Taz: Err... Joey... are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Joey: Hang on...
Taz: Exactly... two Chessmans.
Joey: Chessmen.
Taz: Whatever.

As if on cue, one of the Chessmen Super Kicks The Great Sasuke.
The rest of the group look stunned and Cuervo flaps his arms about in what must be some weird Mexican way of communicating.

The Chessman tears away his shirt and wipes the facepaint from his face.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpg

Joey: It's Big Stevie Cool!

Stevie Stevie Kicks Chessman.
Oz tries to apprehend the infiltrator and gets Stevie kicked.
So does Cuervo...
...and Espiritu.
Escoria is the final member of the sWo to charge at Stevie.
However, the leader of the bWo motions ofr him to stop.
Escoria does so.

Taz: Err... what the?

Stevie seizes the opportunity to pull his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.
Escoria charges again.
Again, Stevie motions for him to stop.
The luchadore obliges as Richards takes his shades back off, breathes on them and wipes them on his shirt.
He then puts them back on and motions for Escoria to contiunue.
STEVIE KICK!

Joey: Big Stevei Cool just cleaned house!

Stevie then picks up the microphone from a lifeless Great Sasuke.

Stevie: No, bitch. WE'RE TAKING OVER!

The other members of the bWo emerge from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg

The group then sets about spraying "bWo", in blue, on the backs of every sWo member.
Hollywood Nova can't pass up the opportunity for his cue before they leave.

Nova: Whatcha gonna do, Daddy-O, when the Blue World Order rumbles on you?!

Meanie: Yeah... Chico.

Meanie lets out his trademark giggle and the group head to the back.

Both teams come out looking to impress and what follows is an impressive tag team display.
It follows a standard, psychology heavy basis.

That is until The Dudleyz appear.

Cactus Jack is caught with a trash can lid to the head from Ultimo Dudley II.
Tommy Dreamer, meanwhile, suffers the 3-D at the hands of Bubba and D-Von.
And, finally, Cactus Jack is hit by Dick Jr's Total Penetration.
RVD covers.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B

After the match, the typical floor-rolling begins between Traci and Melina as HBK and RVD go nose-to-nose with the former Tag Champs.
However, the numbers game is immediately effective as they are jumped from behind by "The Second Generation".
After she takes out Traci, Melina takes a bag from ringside and joins her family.

D-Von pulls out what is inside the bag.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg

Daizy: My relatives are getting pretty damn sick of the situation with the ECW Tag Division!

She hands the mic to her uncle D-Von.

D-Von: Oh, my sister, TESTIFY! You see, back in the day, when my brother, Bubba, and I came to ECW their was a real class in the tag division rather than having a pair of flippity-floppity retards as champions who can't even spell psychology.

D-Von pauses.

D-Von: Actually, how do you spell that?

The rest of the family just shrug.

D-Von: Regardless, my point remains the same and that is why we have brought these with us tonight. Some of you may recognise these. They are the old World Tag Team Championships back from when Bubba and I were dominating anything that stood in our path. So, since Paul Heyman won't give us a fair crack at the Whole F**kin' Show's titles, we thought we'd rechristen these as the Dudleyville Hardcore Titles!

Bubba takes the mic.

Bubba: These championships will represent what ECW wrestling used to be about: grit, determination and tougness and as long as the D...D..D.D.D...DD.D.DD...D...D...

D-Von rips the mic from his brother and hands it to Ultimo Dudley II.
The young Japanese inbred promptly breaks out in a dance.

Ultimo Dudley: I'm turing Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I rearry think so. I'm tur...

D-Von glares at his nephew who promptly stops.

Ultimo Dudley: What? I no speak Ingrish!

Daizy takes the mic away from him and hands it to her half-brother, half-boyfriend, Big Dick Jr.

Dick Jr: Thou shalt not mess with the D...D.DD..D...D.DD..D...DD.D...D...

Bubba rips the mic off Dick.

Bubba: D...D..DD.D...D..D...D.D...DD.D...D...

D-Von now snatches the mic back.

D-Von: DUDLEYZ!

Joey: The Dudleyville Hardcore Titles?
Taz: Well, I guess there's room for another title with all the talent we got, Joe.
Joey: Yeah, but does anyone really want to be the champion of Dudleyville?

Rhino does not dominate to quite the extent he has in recent matches but it's still pretty clear who is in charge of the match.
By the thirteenth minute, the result seems in little doubt.

However, "The Soul Taker" strides down to the ring with his biker chain wrapped around his fist.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg

He slides into the ring and looks for the Big Boot on Rhino.
However, The Man Beast ducks underneath and Sabu is hit instead.
As Taker turns round he is hit by the Gore!
Rhino then covers Sabu.
1...2...
Kickout!

Nate Hatred emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

As the match looks set to kick off again, Rhino hits Sabu with a haymaker that sends him spinning around...
...as Nate Hatred slides into the ring...
...DECAPITATOR LARIAT!
Rhino covers.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: A

Joey: Nate Hatred just cost Sabu the match!
Taz: While Calaway tried to cost Rhino the match but actually decked Sabu.
Joey: ...and now Hatred and Rhino look ready to square-off!

The show goes off air as the two behemoths stare each other down.

An Unlikely Alliance
by Mike Johnson

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

Today, Dwayne "Rock" Johnson announced his full-time return to wrestling as the business partner of Ric Flair. The latter, who has just walked away from his expired WWF contract, has figureheaded a move that may change the face of American wrestling. Together with his new partner, he has founded the WWA!

The WWA (an acronym linked to both the titles "West-colubia Wrestling Alliance" and "World Wrestling Alliance") apparently aims to inherit the mantle of the now-defunct NWA. Indeed, the two owners agreed to start the promotion as a mainstream alternative to the WWF without the need for ECW's arguably "gratuitous" style. West Columbia, South Carolina has been chosen as the headquarters as a location in between the residencies of both founders, free of the obvious connetations that would manifest if it were based in Georgia.

With Dusty Rhodes as headbooker and a roster rumoured to include such names as Christian Cage, Dustin Rhodes and even Sting, the WWA plans to tread a fine line between ECW and WWF. Where those two promotions focus almost solely on in-ring talent and popularity respectively, The Alliance plans to incorporate both models. The vision was laid out fairly clearly:

"I very much enjoyed my years with the WWF but I now believe that wrestling fans across the world deserve an alternative to Sports Entertainment without having to grow accustomed to a hardcore, cult-like style."

- Ric Flair, new joint-owner of the WWA

However, not all parties were so entusiastic. Vince McMahon is said to be furious with Flair's decision and "disappointed" with The Rock, who he had apparently assumed would eventually sign a full-time contract with the WWF once again.

"I wish Ric and Dwayne all the best in their future endeavours but they must realise that they are now my business competitors and I don't treat such acquintances with a great deal of understanding."

- Vince McMahon, Chairman of the WWF

ECW management seemed surprisingly accepting of the move, though, clearly not taking such an adversarial stance as McMahon. This occurs even in spite of Jay Reso, AKA Christian Cage, choosing to sign a written contract with the WWA.

"The truth is that we'd be lying if we said we'd had any specatcular creative plans for Christian as of late. We understand his decision and wish him all the best...

...as for their [the WWA's] plans, we're not too bothered. We prefer to focus on our own product as that's the only real way to improve. Besides, we know what it's like to be plundered and pissed on by bigger companies so we won't be dishing out any lowblows ourselves if we can avoid it."

- Paul Heyman, ECW Chief Talent Official

Regardless of the vastly differing attitudes, one thing is certain: with a third national promotion in the USA, the dynamics of the industry will certainly be changed!

[ColtCabana]

Great stuff, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Did it myself, mate.

Everyone decent talent or popularity wise (save for very few exceptions) are either with WWF or ECW. As such, I set 'em up manually with a half-estalbished roster ahead of playing the data to give 'em a fighting chance.

[theaddicane]

Ooh, I'm looking forward to the impact of a third national promtion, especially considering TEW 08's newly added features...

Will the Rock be an active talent for the promotion?

I'd love to have a crack with your data, Nev, could you shoot me over a link on PM or something? Cheers.

[darthsiddus2]

I'm still interested! you can PM me your files.

[Nevermore]

Will the Rock be an active talent for the promotion?

He will be as will be Flair (though, Im sure Naitch will retire pretty soon). Rock's their top heel and Flair their top face along with Sting. So, by no means are they a slouch.

Plus there's always ROH to pillage should they wish to :p. Bar AJ Styles, I've tried to avoid that, though.

I read this diary for a while but lost interest in TEW until I bought 2008 last week so I've been catching up on it for the past few days.

I just can't believe how creative you are, it really is a superb diary mate. I just love Raven aswell even though it's looking as though his times up. He plays the heel character better than anyone and knows exactly how to piss off the fans. Gertner's bit at the paperviews is great aswell, always makes me laugh and is a good unique feature.

A third promotion should be very good, how popular are the new promotion?

I'd really appreicate a go with the data aswell, would you be able to send it over, via pm?

Confirmed for Revolution:

Dudleyville Hardcore Championship Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg
The bWo vs. The Dudley Boyz
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg


The bWo receive the...ahem... "honour" of being the first team to challenge for The Dudleyville Hardcore Tag Team Titles. Bubba Ray and D-Von are sure to be determined to prove that their newly debuted belts are as respectable as the real thing and "The Second Generation" are sure to join their uncles at ringside.



Balls & Axl vs. The Samoan Gangstas
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AxlRotten.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaAnoai.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaEkmo.jpg

The Samoan Gangstas enter into their first match outside of the World Cup, with their brother, Afa, at ringside, against the well-established team of the hardcore chair-swinging freaks. A combined 700lbs of Samoan manpower meets the two toughest bastards to ever crack a cranium; not for the faint of heart!



Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisBenoit.jpg

With Christian recently leaving ECW and heading to the WWA, it's up to Chris Jericho to prove he's still got what it takes as a singles competitor. As for Chris Benoit, he's been without a title for a long time and he sees this as his chance to, once again, stamp his mark of authority on ECW.



Paul Burchill vs. Teddy Hart
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TeddyHart.jpg

Unfortunately for Teddy Hart, his singles debut comes against "The New Franchise". If you don't agree that Paul Burchill is one of the best workers on the planet, you simply cannot deny that he has the potential to become so. Hart will certainly have a mountain to climb in order to win this one.



Juventud Guerrera vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpg

Juvi Guerrera will, undoubtedly, want another shot at AJ Styles' TV Title which so many people feel he truly deserves. However, after suffering three losses, he, surely needs a win here, to prove to Paul E that a rematch will be marketable. The problem is that a win is far from guaranteed when facing the sheer brilliance that is Rey Mysterio Jr. You may well remember the Best-Of-Seven-Series between these two last year and, if that is anything to go by, this should be a phenomenal match!



Sabu & Mark Calaway vs. Nate Hatred & Rhino
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

Paul E made this match after the confusion that surrounded Blood Sweat and Beers' main event last week. In the words of Joey Styles and Taz "Nate Hatred just cost Sabu the match! While Calaway tried to cost Rhino the match but actually decked Sabu ...and now Hatred and Rhino look ready to square-off!".

Following? No, nor us. Still what is clear is that neither of these teams are exactly "on the same page". With the animosity that has grown between all four men it seems likely, if not inevitable, that this will merely descend into a four-way brawl. But, frankly, we don't see a problem in that at all!

Hudson: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson...
Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.
Hudson: ECW's first broadcast for the month of August promises to be a great show as we are set to see The Dudleyz make the first defence of their new Tag Team Titles as well as Juventud Guerrera and Rey Mysterio Jr revisit their universally acclaimed best-of-seven-series!
Gertner: ...and lets not forget the main event, Scotty boy. That one could degenerate more quickly than one of my trips to the local girls' school.
Hudson: Joel, have you ever considered restraining yourself from making such comments?
Gertner: Of course I have; I just thought better of it in the end.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg

The match is a fairly even contest. Taht is until the interference from The Second Generation starts to tell.
The Dudleyz begin to dominate.
However, by the ninth minute the bWo have mounted a comeback and Big Stevie Cool hits the Stevie kick on D-Von.

Chessman and Oz emerge from under the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpg

The two sWo members grab the Dudley Boyz' titles from ringside, slide into the ring and take out Stevie and Nova with the gold.
Bubba and D-Von capitalise by hitting the 3D on Nova as the intruders make a quick escape.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: C+

Hudson: Well, the Dudleyville Hardcore Championship hardly gets off to a prestigious start as The Dudleyz needed outside interference to retain.
Gertner: They didn't needed, Hudson, but the bWo certainly had it coming!

As The Dudley Family celebrate in the ring, The Hardcore Innovators run out with their Singapore canes.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

They immeditale floor the Dudleyville Champions with several cane shots.
The Second generation enter the ring.
Cane shot to Big Dick.
...and one to BANZAI.
...and Daizy.
Cactus Jack sets up Dick for a DDT under his left arm as Dreamer sets up Ultimo Dudley for one under his right arm.
They then both take Daizy under their free arms.
DDT to all three Second Generation Dudleyz!

Hudson: There's an invasion in Dudleyville!
Gertner: ...and the first family just got annihilated.

The Innovators pick up a pair of microphones.

Cactus: The Dudleyville Hardcore Championships? You think you're hardcore? You don't know the f**king meaning of the word!

Dreamer: You inbreds better listen up good 'cos me and Cactus are laying down a challenge for those titles at Heatwave!

Cactus: ...and when we kick your asses all over again, we'll rechristen those titles the ECW Hardcore Tag Team Championships because there is only one extreme team in ECW and it's the Hardcore Innovators!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AxlRotten.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaAnoai.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaEkmo.jpg
The match merely acts as a means of exposure for both teams and, as such, both duos see ample offence.
Despite the presence of their brother, Afa, at ringside The Samoan Gangstas are defeated when Anoai suffers the Nutcracker Suite.
Match Rating: C-

Kurt Angle and Chris Hero are backstage.

Angle: Well, either way, that was perfect... you laid him out damn good.

Hero: ...and that distraught face you were pulling. Priceless, man.

Angle laughs as the camera cuts back to ringside.

The match is an even contest and a good technical display.
However, it is clear that both men are holding a little something back.
In the twelfth minute, Jericho forces Benoit to tap to the Walls Of Jericho.
Match Rating: B-

As Jericho celebrates his win, Owen Hart makes his way to the ring with a microphone.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Hart: That was one hell of a performance, Jericho, seriously! I mean, for a guy who's only been in tag matches for months, you don't even look too rusty.

Jericho looks pissed.

Hart: ...and, considering you haven't held a title in, what, a year? That was, meh... not too bad.

The Lionheart goes to grab the mic.

Hart: Woah, woah... you act like you're offended. Don't be, take it as a genuine appraisal. You see, I was a big fan of yours...

Owen pauses.

Hart: ...until you turned into a disrespectful little punk!

The two men go nose to nose.
Jericho rips the mic away.

Jericho: It ain't disrespectful... I'm just better than you!

Owen: Bullsh*t!

Jericho: Face it, old man...

Owen: No, you face this... if you're so f**king sure of yourself, how about you and me ago one-on-one at Heatwave?

Jericho: You're on, old-timer!

The crowd erupts.

Hudson: Wow, that will be one hell of a match!
Gertner: The card's already looking pretty damn good and we're not even a week from Summer Assylum!

Traci and Francine are chatting in an otherwise empty locker room.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

Traci: She just really gets under my skin y'know... and even worse than that trashy little bitch is her uncles. I mean, I know they've just debuted their new little, inferior titles but I kinda get the feeling that don't mean they've finished their beef with Shawn and Robbie, y'know?

Francine nods.

Traci: Anyway, what's with you? Ya look even more bummed than me?

Francine sighs.

Francine: Aah, nothing.

Traci: Come on, Franny, spill.

Francine: Well, it's Juvi.

Traci: Haha, yeah, you two seem to be getting pretty cosy.

Francine shakes her head.

Francine: That's just it. He really seems to like me.

Traci: Well, great.

Francine: It's just that...

Traci: Yeah?

Francine: Well, I've kinda knocked him back a couple a times.

Traci: What, he actually asked you out?

Francine: No, we've just had a couple of... moments... y'know?

Traci: ...and you knocked him back?!

Francine: I don't exactly have the greatest track record.

Traci: So?

Francine: So... I really... I mean, really... like him, y'know?

Traci: You mean you love him?

Francine stays silent.

Traci: Franny?

Francine: I don't know... I've never... I mean, of course I've... but I've never actually...

Traci: You mean you've never actually loved someone before?

Francine: ...and I just don't want to hurt him, y'know? He's got enough to deal with without me making things worse.

Traci laughs.

Traci: But, Franny, you could make things a lot better for him!

Francine: Me? Are you kidding? I've only ever been with men for their money.

Traci: Girl, you have got problems... Just talk to him. Be honest, see what he thinks.

Francine frowns.

Francine: Oh, yeah, sure. That'll work.

She pauses.

Francine: I think it's better to just avoid the heartache.

Traci: If that's what you think's best but, for what it's worth, I reckon you're making a big mistake.

Vito: Hey, Paul E.

Heyman: Vito, man, what I can I do for you?

Vito: My family has been disrespected by Raven and CM Punk, Paul E, disrespected and, in some cases, physically injured. I took out Punk at Summer Assylum and, now, I want Raven.

Heyman: You got him on Saturday night, then.

Vito: No, Paul E, I don't think you get it. I want him at Heatwave... for the title.

Paul E smiles.
Vito doesn't.

Heyman: Your serious?

Vito: Of course I'm serious. I beat the f**ker one on one a few weeks ago.

Heyman: ...thanks to interference from Taker.

Vito: ...who I would have beaten clean in a First Blood Match had Raven not changed the stipulation!

Heyman thinks.

Heyman: You have a point.

Vito: I may be small, Paul E, but I could kick the ass of anyone on this roster and I think you know it. You're supposed to give us guys a chance at the top spot. Well, here's your opportunity to do just that. I know you don't want Raven as champion and no one has more motivation to destroy him than I do. Just give me the chance and I'll make you proud, Paul.

Heyman: I'll tell you what, I'll give it some serious thought.

Vito: You do that.

Juvi takes Francines chin in his handbut she shies away.
As she makes to leave, looking embarrased, he takes a mic from ringside.

Juvi: Francine, wait. There's something I've been meaning to say.

Francine turns to face him.

Juvi: Franny, I l...

Suddenly, Francine is knocked out from behind by AJ Styles.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg

Before Juvi can come to her aid, though, he is beaten down in a 2-on1 assault.

Daniels: Whatever you were gonna say, Juvi. I've gotta say something more important. I am sick of being held back around here!

The jeers ring out around the arena.

Daniels: You see, people have been wondering why I've aligned myself with AJ Styles. The reason is pretty f**king simple. I wanted to get noticed because the management has failed to give me anything to work with despite my International All Action Title reign and my obvious proficiency as an all-round wrestler. So, what better way to get noticed than to team up with ECW's brightest young star and, in the process, kick an overrated, filthy little Mexican, who's too damn ugly to show his face, the hell out of the way?

As the jeers continue, Styles and Daniels lay the boots into Guerrera.

Ultimo Dragon sprints to the ring.

He slides in and immediately floors Styles with a Clothesline.
Daniels is met by a Spinning Heel Kick.

Gertner: What the hell is Ultimo Dragon doing here?
Hudson: He probably judt doesn't want to see a competitor as great as Juvi Guerrera get blindsided.

Daniels and Styles make a hasty retreat as Ultimo Dragon helps up Francine and Guerrera.

The match is an even contest from the very start and is a wild brawl all the way to the end.
In the fourteenth minute, Sabu hits the Triple Jump Moonsault on Nate Hatred.
However, he notices Rhino lurking and brawls with the Man Beast to the outside rather than make the cover.
Taker picks up Hatred and delivers the Chokeslam.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B

After the match, Sabu re-enters the ring and pulls Calaway to face him.
He pushes the giant, clearly feeling that it was his right to make the pin on his rival.
Taker merely smiles and turns away.
Sabu picks up a nearby chair, again, turns "The Soul Taker" around, and rifles the steel into his head.

Hudson: My god, he just levelled Calaway!

Calaway collapses in a heap as Sabu points to the skies.
However, before Sabu can oleave the ring, "The Soul Taker" sits up like an animated corpse from a horror movie.
Sabu lands several punches on the giant on his way up but they have little effect.
Chokeslam!

Gertner: Well, that partnership didn't last very long.

Suddenly, Hatred and Rhino storm the ring, and take out Calaway from behind.
The show goes off air as the two ambushers lay the boots into their respective rivals.

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Vito Thomaselli vs. Goliath
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

Raven's monster, Goliath, is a nemesis that Vito and his brothers have faced many times before. However, this time, the stakes are raised as Vito's performance could affect Paul E's decision on the Number One Contendership to the World Title. Certainly, a win here would push the young Italian closer to his goal of facing Raven at Heatwave but a win is far from certain against Goliath.



Dudleyville Hardcore Championship Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg
Balls & Axl vs. The Dudley Boyz
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AxlRotten.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg

After their victory last week over The Samoan Gangstas, Balls & Axl have become the second contenders to The Dudleyville Hardcore Championship. With their relatives ringside, Bubba and D-Von will be looking to make a statement ahead of their title defence against The Hardcore Innovators at Heatwave.



Owen Hart & Jerry Lynn vs. Chris Jericho & Chris Hero
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

This match follows a simple concept: Hart wants Jericho and Lynn wants Hero... Therefore Owen and Jerry will face Chris and... Chris. Jerry Lynn is sure not to have forgotten the humiliating assault he suffered at the hands of Hero, just as Hart is unlikely to have forgiven Jericho's lack of respect. Will the veterans cement their place as the men to be beaten or will youth and energy prevail?



Afa vs. Brandon Thomaselli
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaAfa.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg

Both of these men have proven themselves in the tag team ranks, one as a World Cup standout, the other as a former Tag Team Champion. Now, both Afa and Brandon seek to make an impact on the singles ranks.



AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels vs. Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Dragon
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpg

A fierce rivalry has been building between Styles and Guerrera for the last few months. Christopher Daniels made his presence known to Juventud at Summer Assylum, costing him the TV Title and aligning himself with the champion. During a 2-on-1 beating on Revolution, it was Ultimo Dragon who came to the aid of the luchadore for unknown reasons and, now, it's time to see which alliance is stronger.



Mark Calaway vs. Sabu
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Despite being partners on Monday night, these two men soon found themselves coming to blows after "The Soul Taker" picked up a pinfall that Sabu believed to be rightfully his. No matter how petty the reason for the fallout may appear, there is nothing petty about either of these two performers or their legendary careers. Will Sabu make Calaway just another casualty in a video package of "The Human Highlight Reel" or will "The Soul Taker" claim another victim?

[HardcoreIcon87]

I hope Balls and Axl win...I hate those damn Dudleys! Looks like its going to be a great event. with Mark and Sabu headlining.

[totti]

Vito - I've gotta go for Vito here with the recent push he's been getting.

Balls and Axl - I think you might have Balls and Axl defending the gold at heatwave against The Dudleys and The Innovators of Hardcore.

Hart and Lynn - Just a guess really.

Afa - Brandon's already had sucess with the tag team gold so I'm gonna go for an Afa push here.

Styles and Daniels - The champion and his buddy to gain more momentum.

Mark Calaway - As much as I like Sabu I just can't see him scoring a win over Calaway at the minute.

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

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers! I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Thanks, Joey. I gotta say, man, it looks like some great action we've got lined up.
Joey: There is no doubt about that, Taz. Vito Thomaselli has his chance to impress Paul E and, perhaps, earn a World Title shot, The Dudley Boyz will defend their newly debuted titles and Juventud Guerrera gets a chance for some sweet revenge against AJ Styles and Chris Daniels.
Taz: ...and that ain't even mentioning Sabu versus "The Soul Taker"! let's get to it, man.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg
Goliath starts off by contolling the match, his size clearly a deciding factor.
However, Vito is able to land a Dropkick to his opponent's knees that fells the giant and allows him to make a comeback.
In the ninth minute, he attempts to lift Goliath for the Vito Driver.
However, the weight is too much.
He abandons the plan, instead, a forearm to the face which leaves the Giant on his knees.
Shining Wizard!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B+

Taz: Well, if I was Paul E, I'd sure as hell find that impressive... beating a man twice your size!

The Whole F**kin' Show are standing around backstage.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpg

RVD: So, ya reckon that's the end of the Dudley troubles?

Michaels: Not sure I'd go that far but, for the minute, they've got their hands full with Cactus and Dreamer.

RVD: ...and damn sweet it is too man. I mean, either way, there's only one real Tag Team Championship and we all know who holds it.

Michaels: Everyone's favourite team...

RVD: ...and mine...

Michaels: The Whole...

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

Both men pause, clearly waiting for someone to finish the phrase.

Michaels: Where the hell's Trace when you need her?

RVD: Oh, yeah, I forgot... getting changed I think... seeing as we don't have a match.

The camera cuts to the bWo who have convened outside the ladies locker room.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg

Big Stevie cool is busy removing the "Ladies Locker Room" sign from the door with a screwdriver.
He goes to hand the screwdriver to BW Snow who is already holding head.

Snow: Stevie, man, I can't take your tool and have head, can I?

The other bWo members snicker.

Snow: What?

Stevie hands the screwdriver to Da Blue Guy as Hollywood Nova hands him a sign saying "Sasuke World Order".

Meanie: You sure this is gonna work, chico?

Stevie: Trust me!

Stevie screws the new sign onto the door in place of the old one.
The whole group then ducks behind a heap of backstage equipment.

Oz makes his way into the corridoor.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpg

Upon seeing his groups sign on the door he makes his way in.
A girl's scream can be heard as the bWo, just in shot, try to contain their laughter.

Traci comes bursting out of the locker room, wearing nothing but her knickers.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg

The poor girl runs through the corridoor covering her breasts with her hands.
Oz runs along behind with his tongue out.

Stevie: Oh my god, it gets better!

The camera follows Oz who continues to chase Traci around the corner of the corridoor to the section where Michaels and RVD are still chatting.

Michaels: What the hell?

As Traci runs towards the tag champs, RVD removes his t-shirt to cover up his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Oz, still in hot pursuit, is hit by Michaels' Super Kick.

RVD: You okay, Trace?

Traci: I think so... he just burst in while I was changing!

Michaels: Bunch of freaks in this place, man!

The bWo make their way round the corner whistling and wearing guilty expressions.

Stevie: Don't mind us, guys.

Nova ushers The Whole F**Kin' Show out of the way as Stevie spray paints a bWo logo over Oz's face.

Traci: What the f**k is going on around here?

BW Snow offers his mannequin to Traci.

Snow: You look stressed, Traci. Would head help?

As RVD raises his fist to the bWo's newest member, Snow and his associates decide to make a quick exit.

As the camear cuts back to ringside, Taz is in hysterics.

Joey: Well, I think the bWo and the sWo might bring a whole new approach to a stable war!

Juvi: Thank you for your help on Monday, man. I can't tell you...

Ultimo Dragon raises his hand and speaks in his best English.

Ultimo Dragon: Is no problem. I did what's right.

Juvi: ...and I thank you for that. We'll kick their asses tonight, huh?

Ultimo nods and the two men touch fists before he makes his exit.

Francine: Do you reckon he's on the level?

Juvi: Ha, you gotta learn to trust people, Franny.

Francine: Well, I trust you.

Juvi smiles and leans inwards towards her.

Francine: I err... mean... I trust that you'll teach those ass holes a lesson tonight.

Juvi: Franny, I...

Francine pulls away.

Francine: Sorry, I think that's my phone.

Francine takes her silent phone out of her pocket and leaves the room slightly flustered.
Juvi sighs.

Juvi: ...I love you.

The match is a very even contest.
However, in the twelfth minute, Hart forces Hero to tap to the Sharpshooter.

Raven: What the f**k were you playing at out there?

Goliath: It's not as if I got any help!

Raven: You shouldn't have needed any... he's half your size!

Goliath: Don't worry boss, you can take him.

Raven: You were supposed to take him, you useless sack of sh*t! I can't face him at Heatwave, understood? He has too much of a point to prove!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SamoaAfa.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg
Brandon controls the match quite effectively.
However, it's abundantly clear that these two do not fit each other's styles.
The young Italian picks up the victory following a T-Bone Suplex in the seventh minute.
Match Rating: D-

As Brandon celebrates, he is attacked by Afa from behind.

Sal Thomaselli sprints to the ring.

This match serves as a great display of all four men's skills and is a stellar aerial contest.
Guerrera gets the pin on Daniels following a Juvi Driver in the fourteenth minute.
Match Rating: B+

As Daniels and Styles make their way to the back, Francine passes a microphone to Juvi Guerrera.

Guerrera: AJ, I say it's about time you and me settled this, hombre y hombre! So, I'm challenging you one last time for the TV Title at Heatwave and, seeing as we both got back up now, it should be a clean fight for once. So, mark it in your diary, essa... August 28... the night you lose your title!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg
Considering this is the main event of ECW's flagship show, it's a train wreck.
The two men clearly have zero chemistry and struggle to string a decent set of moves together.
In the tirteenth minute, both men are down. Sabu is the first to start to rise.

Nate Hatred emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

Before Sabu can capitalise on his position, he is caught by the Decapitator Lariat!

Taz: Man, that's the stiffest damn clothesline in the business!
Joey: ...and Sabu's out!

As Hatred leaves as quickly as he arrived, Calaway comes to.
Sabu is lifted to his feet.
CHOKESLAM!

As "The Soul Taker" raises his hand in victory, Rhino sprints to the ring.

Calaway turns, seeing the oncoming threat a little too late...
GORE!

Joey: My god, Calaway nearly got Gored out of the ring!
Taz: Yeah, and after all the sh*t that Rhino's been dishing out, I think The Man Beast is gonna have to be damn careful at Heatwave!
Joey: Can you imagine the carnage when these two go one-on-one?
Taz: Joey, man... I can't wait!

[keefmoon]

Ouch, C+ for Taker vs Sabu...

Nice show again bud, loved the whole Traci thing even if it was perhaps the strangest thing I've ever read on here!

The whole Juvi - Francine thing is interesting fo' sure. If he eventually gets the girl it would be a huge mark out moment, but if, like I suspect, she or he turns on the other it would make for a great feud somewhere down the line. Great stuff.

[Nevermore]

I hope Balls and Axl win...I hate those damn Dudleys!

Glad they're having the desired effect :D.

Damn inbreds...

Ouch, C+ for Taker vs Sabu...

Yeah and that was supposed to be my blockbuster main event :rolleyes:.

loved the whole Traci thing even if it was perhaps the strangest thing I've ever read on here!

Wondered how that would go down. Do you ever get an idea in your head which you really like but are pretty unsure as to whether it'll work on paper?

Terrific show as usual Nevermore.

So we have Calaway, Rhino and now Vito all in the hunt for Raven's title? Sounds good to me!

Great segment with the BWO and SWO. I'm really like those two stables and i'm interested to see what other new ideas you have for them.

The Juvi and Francine thing is great, I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Wondered how that would go down. Do you ever get an idea in your head which you really like but are pretty unsure as to whether it'll work on paper?

You've lost me... what am I missing?

You've lost me... what am I missing?

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Revolution:

Vito Thomaselli vs. Abyss
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpg

Obviously booked by ECW Commissioner, Raven, this match is clearly designed to push Vito to his limits ahead of Heatwave. Raven's ideal situation would be for Vito to lose and, in so doing most likely lose his shot at the title. However, win, lose or draw, at this rate, Vito is sure to be less than 100% come the pay-per-view!



The bWo vs. The sWo
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpg

It has been spread around the locker room that Oz wants revenge for the bWo's antics last week. The result is this tag team match where two World Orders collide.



Nate Hatred vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpg

ECW's self-proclaimed "Most Extreme Athlete" goes up against the Japanese Buzzsaw this week on Revolution. With The Sinister Minister sure to be at ringside, does Tajiri really stand a chance at ending Hatred's recent reign of terror?



Dudleyville Hardcore Championship Match

Eddie and Chavo Jr are the third team to challenge The Dudley Boyz for their Dudleyville Hardcore Championships. Los Guerreros are one hell of a team and, under usual circumstances they might well be the favourites. However, with the Big Balbutient Behemoth, the Angry Asian Inbred and the Lil' Latina Lolita at ringside, the big Dudley deck is certainly stacked.



Rhino vs. Sabu
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Since Blood, Sweat and Beers, Sabu has apparently claimed that he would have gained retribution on Mark Calaway himself if it were not for Rhino's sudden interference. Therefore, we will once again witness some of the best hardcore pioneers in the world in action!


World Television Championship Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg
Ultimo Dragon vs. AJ Styles
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

Juvi Guerrera's challenge for the TV Title that was laid down last week has still not received a response. As such, the title is eligible for defence in this match against the Champion's newest threat.

Some fans have expressed surprised that this match has been billed as the main event with Rhino versus Sabu also on the card. However, when two of the top junior workers in the world square off there is no other place on the card it realistically belongs. Get ready for what could be the best aerial display this year!


Join the Revolution; Monday nights at 10pm
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ecwrevolution.jpg

[totti]

Vito - Vito to keep the momentum train rolling.

bWo - Just because I like them better really. It's a tough one to call.

Nate Hatred - He continues to dominate the ECW roster.

Dudley Boyz - I think Los Guerreros with the titles would be great but I just can't see the Dudleys dropping the belts yet, especially with the other 3 at ringside.

Rhino - Calaway got a win last week so I think it's Rhino's turn this week. On the otherhand, Sabu could do with a win after losing to Taker last week.

AJ Styles - Styles to retain and then hopefully Juvi to win at Heatwave.

Can't wait for the next show mate. This dynasty is just incredible.

Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.
Hudson: The card tonight is stacked with great matches and is capped off by one of the best TV Title matches we are likely to see this year!
Gertner: I don't get it, Scotty Boy. You're always going on about how good the card is but, if that were true, why take up so much damn time with your little intros.
Hudson: ...coming from the guy with stacks of announcing.
Gertner: Listen here, rookie, I've been calling ECW Revolution for longer than you.
Hudson: ...and I bet you wonder why Blood, Sweat and Beers is considered the premier show.

Hudson: It's The New Franchise!
Gertner: Burchill and Shane Douglas are here in Illinois!

As Burchill enters the ring, Abyss charges but is tossed clean over the top rope.
Goliath attempts the Big Boot but Burchill ducks underneath...
...and lands a Haymaker that sends the giant to the outside!

Hudson: It's been a while since Raven has stared Burchill in the face and it looks like he's gonna get what's coming to him.

Raven points at Burchill screaming all manner of profanities.
Burchill motions for the champion to bring it as the crowd goes nuts.
But Raven slinks out of the ring and disappears into the crowd.

Hudson: What a damn coward!
Gertner: That's not cowardly, Scotty Boy. It's just Raven's high IQ on display.
Hudson: Would you stop calling me that already?

Michaels: Okay, okay... take it easy.

Traci: Come in, Franny, what's up?

Francine sits down next to Traci.

Francine: It happened again.

Traci: What happened?

Francine: Y'know...

RVD: You're pregnant?!

Traci glares at RVD.

RVD: What?

Francine: I had another... moment... with Juvi.

RVD: Oh yeah, how are things going there?

Michaels: Franny and Juvi...

RVD: ...sittin' in a tree...

Michaels: F - U - C...

Traci glares at Michaels.
Michaels clears his throat.

Michaels: Sorry.

Traci: So, what happened?

Francine: Well, y'know how... I kinda... like him.

RVD: I knew it, man!

Michaels: Hot couple.

RVD: No doubt... The Queen of extreme.

Michaels: Yeah, and the mask...

RVD: ...kinky.

Traci glares at RVD again.

RVD: Sorry, should we... er...

Traci: Yeah unless you want to lose some teeth.

RVD signals to Michaels for them to leave.

Michaels: Dude, you are so whipped!

RVD: ...coming from Mister Nitro Girl.

The tag champs leave, bantering.

Traci: Sorry about that. So, what happened?

Francine: Trace, I can't stop thinking about him.

Traci: ...and you've told him how you feel?

Francine: I don't even know how I feel. I've told you, I can't exactly trust myself around guys. I told him that I trusted him, though.

Traci: Awesome!

Francine: Not at all; it was really awkward!

Traci: How come?

Francine: I just don't want to hurt him, Trace.

Traci: You're still on about this? Franny, you ain't gonna hurt him if you love him.

Francine seems embarrased.

Traci: What?

Fancine: Nothing.

The match is a pretty even contest.
After a surprising lack of interference, Oz scores the pin on Da Blue Guy following a Tornado DDT.
Match Rating: D+

A 2-on-2 brawl begins straight after the bell.
The sWo members eventually drive their rivals from the ring.

BW Snow sprints down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpg

He takes out both Oz and Chessman with a Double Clothesline and takes a microphone.

Snow: What do we want?!

"HEAD!"

He suddenly realises his mistake.

Snow: Err... I mean... WE'RE TAKING OVER!

Cuervo slides into the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoCuervo.jpg

The face-painted luchadore takes out Snow from behind.

Cuervo: WE'RE OVERTAKING!

Hollywood re-enters, floors Cuervo and hits the Big Legdrop.

Nova: Watcha gonna do, Daddy-o, when the Blue World Order rumbles on you?

Espiritu sprints down the aisle way.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpg

The latest sWo member takes out Nova with a DDT.

Espiritu: ESTAMOS ELCANZADO!

Gertner: Huh?
Hudson: I'll give you one guess as to what it means.
Gertner: Err... Well, well, well...
Hudson: It means "We're Overtaking", fatboy!

Escoria emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEscoria.jpg

Hudson: Now what?

Escoria floors his own stablemate.

Escoria: WE'RE TAKING OVER!

Gertner: Ha, I think we just saw the first defection!

Espiritu gets up and clips his associate around the ear.
Escoria shrugs.

Espiritu: Tú idiota! Somos el sWo... no el bWo. "WE'RE OVERTAKING!" no el "WE'RE TAKING OVER!" ¿Cuál es incorrecto con ti?

Escoria: Lo siento.

Hudson: No, no... I think he was just confused!

As the two luchadores continue to argue, Big Stevie Cool runs out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpg

He soon hits the Stevie Kick on both sWo members.

Stevie: I say it's about time we restored some order around here. So, I got three words for ya... WE'RE TA...

Before he can finish, Big Sasuke Cool descends from the rafters with a baseball bat.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpg

Hudson: Oh, god... will it ever end?
Gertner: Well, I think both sides are out of members...

After he takes out Stevie with the bat, he places his hands around his mouth and howls at the crowd.
Soon, all members of both groups are back in the ring slugging it out.
Security has to break them up.

This match is never in doubt, partciularly in view of Mitchell's interference.
Hatred dominates, winning with a Decapitator Lariat at 8:17
Match Rating: B-

After the match, The Sinister Minister takes a microphone.

Minister: Sabu, you laid down a challenge to Rhino for tonight due to what happened last week. I find that very interesting seeing as it was actually one Nate Hatred that nearly clotheslined you out of your boots. So, Nate and I have decided it's time to remind you who the real threat is, to prove to you that you ain't the icon of hardcore that you used to be. You see, ECW's most extreme athlete is challenging you to a match at Heatwave and he's so damn sure he's gonna win that he's even gonna let you pick the stipulation! Choose, wisely though, Sabu, because your life most likely depends upon it!

Los Guerreros present the toughest challenge to the Dudleyville Hardcore Champions yet.
However, as was expected, The Second Generation of Dudleyz plays a large part in ensuring the result.
Bubba and D-Von retain following a 3D on Chavo in the eleventh minute.

Chris Jericho is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg

Jericho: Owen, I hope you don't think that tag match last week proved anything! It wasn't me who tapped to the Sharpshooter; it was Chris Hero and, at Heatwave, I'm not gonna have some useless rookie holding me back. The fact...

Chris Hero steps into shot.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Hero: Useless rookie, huh?

Jericho: Dude, it wasn't peronal. I just...

Hero: Why don't we see who's really useless. Meet me in a match on revolution, jackass!

Hero walks off.

Jericho: Look... I din't mean to... this is between me and Owen.

The camera zooms out to see Owen Hart who has been watching the whole thin.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Hart laughs mockingly as the camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg
The match is, unforunately, not as great as one might have hoped.
However, after what is still a decent hardcore base match-up, Sabu hits the Triple Jump Moonsault.
1...2...Kickout!

Gertner: Rhino ain't going down without a fight!

"The Soul Taker" strides down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg

Upon entering, he charges at Rhino with a Big Boot...
...but the Man Beast ducks and Sabu is levelled by the size fourteen boot.
Gore on Calaway!
Rhino then delivers the Rhino Driver to Sabu.
1...2...3!
Match rating: B

After the match, Rhino capitalises on his opportunity to dismantle "The Soul Taker" landing sevearl mounted punches before finally maiing his way to the back.

Both men give their all in a fantastic aerial display.

In the thirteenth minute, Christopher Daniels emerges from the crowd.

The Fallen Angel enters the ring and hits the Last Rites on Ultimo Dragon.
Styles covers for the fall.

After the match, a 2-on-1 assault begins.

However, Juventud Guerrera sprints to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

Hudson: Here comes the cavalry!

The odds are soon evened.
That is, until Daniels pulls a pair of brass knuckles from his tights and levels both Guerrera and Ultimo dragon.
AJ Styles picks up a microphone.

Styles: Juvi as unwise at it is for you to challenge me again for my Television Title, I do admire your guts. So, consider this my accepting your challenge.

The crow erupts.

Styles: But I've already beaten you three times, man, and I'm hardly gonna put my title up for grabs again without something in return. So, the final say lies with you. I'll defend my title if you defend... your mask!

Hudson: My god, a title versus mask match?
Gertner: Awesome, we'll get to see Juvi's face.
Hudson: Well, Styles would have to win first and, either way, I don't think it's as simple as that. Juvi's mask is his entire legacy.
Gertner: ...as is the TV Title for AJ Styles.
Hudson: One thing's for sure, if it goes ahead, that will be one hell of a grudge match!

F' The Mainstream to return

ECW is proud to confirm that, as of September, F' The Mainstream will return to its old timeslot on MTV2 on Thursdays, at 10pm. However, the show, now under an exclusivity agreement with MTV, will now only last for an hour and will focus on showcasing ECW's developing talent. In this regard, one could consider it a "B" show, similar to The Federation's Heat, only innevitably superior.

An announce team and authority figure are yet to be confirmed...

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Vito Thomaselli vs. Monsters Inc.

Raven's monsters couldn't take out Vito Thomaselli individually so, now, Raven has them teaming up to get the job done. With a near 600lb weight advantage, will Vito be able to secure a victory let alone be in fit shape for Heatwave?



Dudleyville Hardcore Championship Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWTagTitle2.jpg

The Dudley Boyz continue to place their Dudleyville Hardcore Championship on the line, this time against the Samoan Gangstas. Bubba and D-Von have been building some serious momentum ahead of their encounter with The Hardcore Innovators and, here, they look to continue this trend.



Nate Hatred vs. Brandon Thomaselli
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg

Two of ECW's new breed will face-off on Saturday Night. Will former Tag Team Champion, Brandon Thomaselli, be the man to end Nate Hatred's streak?



Chris Jericho vs. Chris Hero
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Chris Jericho's unabashed arrogance created problems for him on Monday, leading to this match against ECW's self-proclaimed saviour. Will Chris Jericho seize the opportunity to prove his point to Owen Hart or will Chris Hero "improve the product" in another "quality wrestling match"?



Christopher Daniels vs. Ultimo Dragon
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpg

Christopher Daniels continued to back up the ECW Television Champion on Revolution and, in so doing, cost Ultimo Dragon a fair shot at the title. Instead, the Japanese legend gets a fair shot at retribution on Blood, Sweat & Beers!

In this blockbuster main event, four of ECW's main attractions will lock horns in an attempt to prove their dominance. The bad blood between Calaway and Rhino has nearly reached boiling point while the visceral hatred between Burchill and Raven still remains even after months of heated rivalry. Add to this Raven and Burchill's past betrayals of The Man Beast and Calaway's disdain for the World Heavyweight Champion... we've got one hell of a fight on our hands!

[totti]

Another top notch show, I'm really enjoying all your storylines at the moment especially the one with Juvi and Francine, can't wait to see where you take it.

After having a little look around your mod, I can see you have a lot of young talent about in the main roster and in development so it's good to see a B show to help create new stars.



Monsters Inc - I can't see Vito beating these two unless he has help but his momentum/overness shouldn't take a huge hit from losing a handicap match.

The Dudley Boyz - Outside interference to play a part again.

Nate Hatred - Hatred and his manager to continue dominating.

Chris Hero - Owen Hart to interfere and cost Jericho the match which inturn should p**s Jericho off.

Ultimo Dragon - He gets some revenge over Daniel but I expect Juvi and Styles will interfere at some point.

No Contest - Great main event mate but I see it erupting into a mass brawl.

As always I can't wait for the show.

...especially the one with Juvi and Francine, can't wait to see where you take it.

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers! I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joey, my man. Let me tell ya, I am so damn hyped heading into Heatwave.
Joey: I don't blame you, Taz, with the way the card is shaping up.
Taz: Yeah, and speaking of the Heatwave card, it looks like, tonight, we're gonna find out if Styles' Title versus mask match is gonna go ahead.
Joey: ...and perhaps even more exciting than that is the main event scheduled for tonight as "The New Franchise" and "The Soul Taker" team up to face "The Man Beast" and the World Heavyweight Champion!

Raven's Monsters dominate the match entirely.
Even in view of the great form Vito has been in, there is no way he can overcome two behemoths...
...or is there?

In the ninth minute, Shane Douglas emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNFSlick.jpg

Douglas reaches under the bottom rope and grabs Abyss by the foot.
The Monster turns to threaten Douglas and, when he turns back, he is caught by a stiff Enziguiri from Vito.
Douglas leaps onto the apron to nail Goliath with a forearm as Vito hits a Springboard Moonsault on Abyss.
1...2...3!
Match rating: B+

Vito ducks out of the ring in lightning time and heads to the back with Douglas.

Taz: I don't get it... what's Douglas' business with Vito?
Joey: I dunno Taz but it was Paul Burchill and The Franchise who came to Vito's aid on Monday...
Taz: I call shennanigans.
Joey: But I bet you can't spell it.
Taz: Hey, I'm just the colour guy!

Juvi Guerrera and Francine are sitting backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

Juvi: I don't mean to be harsh, Franny, but I don't think you understand. My mask is who I am.

Francine: Well, I understand that it's important to you...

Juvi looks straight at Francine.

Juvi: There's only one thing more important to me.

Francine blushes, trying to ignore the comment.

Francine: ...but I also know your not the man you are because of your mask.

Juvi: But no one knows me without my mask.

He sighs.

Juvi: No one would want to.

Francine takes Juvi by the hand.

Francine: Hey, I know that some people would love to find who is under the mask.

Juvi smiles.
Francine quickly pulls her hand away.

Francine: Besides, you have to challenge for the belt. The champ gets all money, all the acclaim.

She clearly tries to relieve the tension as she raises her eyebrows.

Francine: Plus, the champ gets all the girls.

She nudges Juvi jokingly.
The luchadore doesn't flinch.

Juvi: ...but I only want one.

Francine is visibly rocked by the sincerity of the comment.

Francine: I... err... I have... I have to... er... go.

Juvi tries to take her hand but Francine exits as quickly as she can, shutting the locker room door on her way out.
Guerrera drops his head into his hands and, as he finally pulls his hands away, he punches the wall in obvious annoyance.
The camera shot cuts to the outside of the door where Francine is still standing.
She slips the tissue that she is holding into her pocket, takes a deep breath and walks off.

Taz: Man, it's like a bad teen rom-com.
Joey: I think that's a bit harsh under the circumstances.
Taz: Oh yeah?
Joey: Yeah, I mean it looks like Francine is genuinely trying to make an effort to better herself and she doesn't want anyone hurt in the process.
Taz: Well, good for her... as long as she don't quit those skimpy outfits!

Douglas: Raven, I told you that I'd have my vengeance for all the sh*t you've put me through over the last ten months. But, see, we both know that it goes back even further than that. Hell, you and I have been itching to end each others' careers for the past eleven f**king years! That said, did you really think that just because Burchill can't challenge you for the title, I was gonna let you be?

Vito: Raven, you have humiliated me, you have injured my brothers and, worse still, you and Punk hospitalised my beautiful baby sister! I took out Punk and now it's time to take you out. You see, bastardo, you have united The Franchise and I in a common cause and that is a burning desire to see the back of you!

Douglas: Damn straight! Raven, you ended my in-ring career and, so, I helped Burchill reach a level in order to achieve what I couldn't. Then, you ended any hope of him becoming World Heavyweight Champion Thus, the owness falls upon both myself and The New Franchise to help Vito put your legacy six feet down in the ground at Heatwave!

Paul Burchill steps on screen.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Burchill: I told you I'd make your life a living hell Raven and, while the World Cup may have taken my attention for a moment, you were always in my sights. At Heatwave, I am gonna personally guarantee that you finally get what is coming to you!

Vito: ...and when ECW is finally rid of your sorry ass as champion, I will grant my first defence to The New Franchise, so, that the ECW fans can, once again, believe in a legitimate champion!

Douglas: So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

Burchill: Quote The New Franchise...

Vito: Payback's a bitch!

Joey: Wow, do you believe that? I think Raven's number might finally be up.
Taz: Yeah, but how many times have we said that before? We should probably wait and see what that snake has up his sleeve.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg
Brandon Thomaselli poses a challenge a far greater challenge than some of Hatred's recent opponents.
Indeed, in the eleventh minute, he sets up Hatred for the T-Bone Suplex.
However, he is struck from behind with James Mitchell's walking cane.

Daniels: Juventud Guerrera, on Monday night, the ECW World Television Champion, AJ Styles, issued you with an ultimatum: defend your mask or lose your shot at the gold! It appears that he is still awaiting your response and, I must say, I find that the height of bad manners!

Styles: Juvi, man, I'm gonna give you a tip for free. Stop wasting your time on that two-dollar whore and try and make something of yourself. 'Cos, you see, although there's no chance of you winning at Heatwave, "The guy who lost his mask to The Phenomenal AJ Styles" sounds a whole lot better than "That loser who got rejected by the easiest slut in the industry"!

Daniels laughs.

Daniels: Oh and, before I forget, Ultimo Dragon, I'll see you in the ring in about a half hour and I figure I'll leave you incapable of helping your buddy in his title match...so bring your A game and at least make it a challenge, huh?

As the bell rings, Owen Hart appears at the entrance-way.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

He mockingly applauds as Jericho looks up the aisle-way, clearly annoyed.

Hart: That's a cute little submission you got there.

Jericho screams at Hart from the ring "Cute?! Cute?!"

Hart: Don't get me wrong, had I have had him in the Sharpshooter, I'd have probably been able to snap his back if I wanted but, hey, at least The Great Wall of China looks pretty.

Jericho goes red in the face "The Walls of Jericho!"

Hart: The Walls of Mexico? There aren't any big walls in Mexico...

"It's JERICHO! CHRIS JERICHO!"

Hart: ...and I'm Owen Hart. Pleased to meet you.

Jericho is fuming.

Hart: But, regardless of what monument your crappy little rest hold is named after, there is something undeniable... something that everyone's saying. All the people here say it.

The crowd pops.

Hart: Everyone back in Canada says it as does everyone all around the world.

Jericho shouts profanities up the aisle-way.

Hart: See, they say this in Mexico, China and Jericho,
Berlin and Birmingham, Belfast and Tokyo,
Amsterdam, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan,
Disneyland, Narnia... Former Yugoslavia.

Hart receives a round of applause for his eloquence.

Hart: ...and what they're saying is, at Heatwave, you will tap to The Sharpshooter!

Daniels picks up a microphone.

Daniels: So, what's it gonna be, Juvi? Are you gonna accept Styles' generous offer or are you going to continue pursuing that wench... that cheap little prostitute... that over-sexed, disgusting little slu...

Juvi charges through the curtain.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

Joey: Guerrera's here to defend Francine's honour!

However, before he even makes it down the steps he is blindsided.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

The TV champ nails the luchadore from behind with his championship.
Daniels joins his ally to dish out a 2-on-1 beating.

Joey: It was a damn set up!
Taz: Yeah and, unfortunate for Juvi, he just got played like a fiddle!

Francine runs out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

She leans over Juventud Guerrera in a meager attempt to protect him.
Daniels puts on his brass knucks and raises his fist to her.

Joey: God... no!

But, at the last, moment, Styles stops him.
The two men just smile sadistically and head to the back.

The match is an extremely even encounter with both teams looking strong.
By the twelfth minute, we are no closer to finding a winner.

However, Sabu runs out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Taz: What the hell is Sabu doing here?

The Human Highlight Reel pulls a spike from his boot and slides into the ring.
He lunges at Taker, who ducks.
The spike is driven squarely into the temple of Paul Burchill who collapses in agony.
Calaway grabs Sabu by the throat, though...
CHOKESLAM!
"The Soul Taker" raises his fist in the air and turns to salute the crowd.
...GORE!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B

Joey: Damn it! Rhino gets the pin on Calaway!
Taz: I guess Sabu was trying to payback Taker for last week. No dice, though.

The camera cuts backstage to Paul Heyman.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

Heyman: After everything I've seen tonight, I think my considerations regarding the World Championship match at Heatwave are over. Raven, you can consider Vito as your official opponent.

Paul E smiles wryly.

Heyman: But, seeing as you have equal creative control, in order to make sure that this match goes ahead, I'm gonna let you name the stipulations. So, next week, on this very programme, we're gonna have ourselves a contract signing in the centre of the ring to make sure that no one is under any illusions! Sweet dreams, champ.

Show Rating: B

[fordc76]

Hmmm really liking the Francine/Juvi situation. If it was anyone else I could see it being some sort of twist like her being a lesbian.


But with the amount of layers of storyline you put into these sort of things I imagine it could be something like;

Francine likes him but she is so used to looks being the only thing she looks for that she doesn't know what to do....The Queen of Extreme can't be seen with someone that has a face like Snitsky under that mask could she!

BUT Francine realises she's being stupid and hates herself for thinking stuff like that but still can't bring herself to take the chance.


Either that or she just hates Mexicans :-p

[keefmoon]

You know me, Nevvy, I love sh*tting on your parade... I have to agree with Taz's assessment of this weeks Franny and Juvi segment, sorry! He seems like such a loser! But I've liked every one of their other segment you've done with them so far so I guess this weeks was just not to my taste. But yeah, sorry!

Liked the Owen Hart thing, it's nice to see him get some non-wrestling time and he and Jericho are a great pairing for a feud as Jericho could evelvate the feud in the charisma area but they would have an absolute dynomite match.

Also like Vito as the number one contender, I think it's a great idea. You've pushed him really well and even though he's an unexpected main eventer (if you compare where he is in your game to real life) you've realyl pulled it off well, so well done on that.

Overall, another really strong show, but that goes without saying, shirley?

You know me, Nevvy, I love sh*tting on your parade... I have to agree with Taz's assessment of this weeks Franny and Juvi segment, sorry! He seems like such a loser!

Cheers for the kind words, boys.

Confirmed for Revolution:

Vito Thomaselli vs. Owen Hart
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Despite the major obstacles that Vito has faced heading into Heatwave, he's not backing down from the prospect of this match. Ordered by decree of Raven, there's no doubt that this contest will be a challenge for both Vito and Hart!



Sabu vs. Mark Calaway
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Sabu and "The Soul Taker" are billed to settle their recent differences in this match. The hope is clearly that they will leave all bad blood between them in the ring in order to focus on their prospective pay-per-view opponents.



The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Blue World Order
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpg

The Dudleyville Hardcore Champions have received many opportunities to get in form ahead of their title defence at Heatwave. Now, it's the turn of the challengers to make some waves.



Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Jerry Lynn
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg


Yoshihiro Tajiri looks to bounce back following his defeat at the hands of Nate Hatred last week. Similarly, Jerry Lynn plans on keeping up his winning form after his tag match with Owen Hart.



Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Dragon

AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels

The resentment between these two teams has been building steadily every week. As Juventud Guerrera considers the prospect of defending his mask at Heatwave, he and his partner will seek to put their cunning nemeses in their place ahead of the pay-per-view.



Rhino vs. Paul Burchill
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

After last week's tag team main event, both men requested this match. Rhino seeks to prove that he can win without outside interference while "The New Franchise" aims to prove that he is, in no way, out of the spotlight.

Vito

Soul Taker

Hardcore Inovators thanks to interfernce from sWo

Jerry Lynn

AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels

Rhino

[keefmoon]

F*ck me sideways, that is one helluva stacked card. Very, very nice matches in there.

Vito Thomaselli vs. Owen Hart
Vito needs the rub ahead of his title match, but Christ, Owen Hart has to be one of the top people to get someone ready for a main event showing.

Sabu vs. Mark Calaway
Soul Taker needs to look strong for the time being, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sabu nicked it

The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Blue World Order
Don't think I've mentioned before how much I like the pairing of Dreamer and Foley, but I think it really works well.

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Jerry Lynn
Lynn needs to prove himself ahead of his inevitable match against Kurt Angle somewhere down the line

Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Dragon vs AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels
Only because I think the heels will win the big PPV matches

Rhino vs. Paul Burchill
Because you're a Burchill mark and purely through this diary I'm becoming one too!

[totti]

Vito - He's on a role recently but I wouldn't be surprised if Ravens Nest interfered and cost him it.

Mark Calaway - He's the obvious choice with the way you've been pushing him but Sabu's been taking a few loses recently so it may be his turn.

The Hardcore Inovators - Like you said in the preview, it'll just be a warm up match for them.

Jerry Lynn - I really like Lynn and he's in a programme with Angle, Tajiri isn't really doing anything at the minute.

Juvi and Ultimo Dragon - I think these two need a bit of momentum going into Heatwave. AJ and Daniels have won some matches already.

Rhino - This was a tough one but I think Rhino may win. He's need to stay strong in the title picture and a few weeks ago he was unbeatable.

[Nevermore]

F*ck me sideways, that is one helluva stacked card. Very, very nice matches in there.

Haha, yeah.

My roster is packed with awesome talent that just isn't very over. So, I figure I'll stick 'em in a bunch of (what could be) PPV strength matches and just let 'em build themselves up through great performances.

Quote The Raven
Nevermore

[critical-23]

Just wanted to say that from the little bit of this dynasty that I have read, I am loving this version of ECW. Thomaselli getting pushed to the moon, Raven being a A-hole champion, Paul Burchill as the NEW Franchise--*sheds a small tear*--I just can't get enough of this and can't wait to have the time to read from the beginning!!

[Blasphemywebleed]

Nevermore, I just wanted to say that although I don't get to read your dynasty as much as i'd like I am always completely immersed when I do. The effort, time, and imagination that you put into it should be an inspiration to all new dynasty writers. Fantastic stuff.

[Mtm2k6]

Vito Thomaselli vs. Owen Hart - That's quite a scalp for Vito to take, but he needs a credible ME win.


Sabu vs. Mark Calaway - Just. Sabu has been on a major losing streak lately, but then again, Taker isn't exactly riding the momentum wave.


The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Blue World Order - Can anyone spell s-q-u-a-s-h? Nah. But the sWo and the Dudleyz will be involved with these shananigans.


Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Jerry Lynn
You haven't done much with Tajiri lately, and Lynn has a storyline with Angle going.

Juventud Guerrera & Ultimo Dragon vs AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels
I agree with keefy on this one.

Rhino vs. Paul Burchill - Draw. I can't see a winner at all between these two, Burchill's too strong and Rhino is riding a huge wave of momentum.

Hudson: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson...
Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.
Hudson: Tonight's card is packed with potential as some of ECW's top talent look set to leave it all in the ring just eleven days ahead of Heatwave.
Gertner: In which case I say we get straight to it rather than listen to you bleet on.
Hudson: Y'know, that's remarkably similar to how I feel when you get given the microphone at pay-per-views.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg
While it's obvious this match is not the best performance these men could put on, it's still a great way to open the card.
It is an extremely even contest in which neither rookie nor veteran look to be going down without a fight.

In the twelfth minute, Chris Jericho runs to the ring with a chair.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg

He enters and blasts Owen Hart in the back of the head, flooring him cold.
However, as Jericho turns to makea quick exit, Vito grabs him by the hair and pulls him back through the ropes.
Vito Driver!

Gertner: What the hell is Vito doing? Jericho was helping him?
Hudson: I guess he doesn't want help!

Vito then helps Hart to his feet.
Hart nods in respect.
Vito extends his hand for a handshake but Hart whip[s him to the ropes.
Vito rebounds with the Shining Wizard.
Quick roll up.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B-

As the three count ends Hart dashes straight up to his feet and goes nose-to-nose with the young Italian.
However, he now offers the handshake...
...which Vito accepts.

Hudson: Listen to the applause of these fans. This is what true competition is all about.

But, as Hart raises Vito's hand, both men are blindsided by a sour Chris Jericho.
The Lionheart heads to the back looking very pleased with himself.

Juventud Guerrera and Francine are sitting backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

Juvi: Franny, I think I've made my decision but it hinges on one thing.

Francine: What's that?

The luchadore takes his manager by the hands.

Juvi: Franny, I've been meaning to say this for about six weeks now and I'll be damned if I'm not getting out tonight.

Francine tries to pull her hand away but Guerrera touches her on the shoulder reassuringly.

Juvi: Franny, if I'm gonna put my legacy on the line at Heatwave, I need to know that your in my corner, one hundred percent.

Francine: Juvi, you know I am.

Juvi: ...but as more than just a manger... Franny, I'm falling in love with you and... I need to know if you feel the same way.

Francine looks shocked.

Francine: Juvi, I will always support you and, of course I will be in your corner at Heatwave.

Juvi smiles.

Francine: But... I can't commit to you.

The luchadore's voice becomes slightly frail.

Juvi: Why not?

Francine sighs.

Francine: Traci told me to be honest. So... screw it... Juvi, in case you hadn't noticed, I haven't had the best history with men.

Juvi: Franny, I don't care. You're different now and I know that.

Francine: ...and I would never forgive myself if I hurt you in the future. So, I'm sorry. I can't...

Juvi holds up his hand for her to stop.

Juvi: ...and that's the best excuse you can come up with?

Francine: What? Juvi... I...

Juvi: Y'know what, save it! Clearly I was wrong! You haven't changed at all and I guess, as long as I'm not the Television Champion, you couldn't give a sh*t about me!

Francine: Juvi, that's not it... I...

Guerrera explodes.

Juvi: Save it, Francine! I should have known better than to trust you!

Francine: Juvi... I...

He slams the door on his way out.
Francine bursts out in a fit of tears.

The camera cuts to follow Guerrera down the hallway.

Ultimo Dragon approaches.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpg

Dragon: You okay?

Juvi: I just... I opened up to Franny and got a f**king cold shoulder for my time, man.

Dragon: You want me talk to her?

Juvi: Dude, you can't even speak English!

Ultimo shakes his head in disappointment as Guerrera storms of.

Dragon: Such shame... The pain of love is the pain of living, a perpetual wound to be hurt by those we trust.

A crew member gives the legend a quizical look.

Crew: Is that Shakespeare?

Dragon: Fortune cookie.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg
As expected, the match bombs due to a lack of chemistry.
However, if nothing else, it does serve to end Sabu and Taker's mini-feud.
In the seventh minute, Taker is floored with a chair shot.

Nate Hatred emerges from the crowd with his barbed-wire wrapped iron pentagram.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

He strikes Sabu in the back with the evil looking weapon.
As Sabu turns, he drops the symbol.
Decapitator Lariat!
As Hatred escapes, Calaway comes to and hits the Chokeslam on a unconscious Sabu.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: C

After the match, "The Soul Taker" takes a microphone.

Taker: Rhino, we're just over a week away from your judgement day and as the light before your eyes slowly lures you towards your darkest nightmare, I want you to know something. Your victory last week proved nothing! You were only able to secure victory thanks to interference. So, now that Sabu has been put firmly in his place, there will be no one stupid enough to save the condemned at Heatwave. The fact is, Rhino, Man Beast or not, a mere human cannot stop an immortal and, without backup, you are a man... damned.

The Hardcore Innovators control the match effectively with use of their trademark Singapore canes.
They win following a Double DDT on Nova at 10:22.
Match Rating: C+

As the Hardcore Innovators head to the back, the lights cut out.

Hudson: What the hell.

When they come back on, Stevie and Nova are unconscious on the canvas.
Nova's face is painted like Chessman and Stevie's to look like Sasuke Cool's mask.
They slowly come to and get to their feet.
Stevie laughs.

Nova: What?

Stevie: You got fag make up on you!

Nova: What do you mean I do? You look like a freak!

Stevie: Huh?

The two men suddenly have a thought and check their own faces for make-up.
They realise simultaneously as Big Sasuke Cool's face appears on the big screen.

Sasuke: WE'RE OVERTAKING!

As Lynn celebrates, Chris Hero runs into the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

The brash youth takes out the dynamic one from behind and lays the boots in.

Hero: I'll bet you thought our beef was done and dusted, Jerry. Well, no such luck, old timer. You see, guys like you, well passed their prime but unwilling to hand their spots to the true talent of today are a cancer on this company and this industry. So, I figure it's about time The Saviour of ECW put you in your place... that being a retirement home... see what I did there?

For once, Guerrera is not accompanied by Francine. He comes to the ring alone.
Both teams put on a great performance ahead of the pay-per-view and the match is a great aerial display.
In the sixteenth minute, Daniels takes out his brass knuckles to lay out Guerrera.
However, the luchadore catches him with a sweep kick.
He takes the knuckle dusters and uses them to knockout the Television Champion.
He then hits the Juvi Driver on Daniels for the 3.
Match rating: B

After the match, Guerrera takes a microphone.

Juvi: AJ, consider your ultimatum accepted. At Heatwave, I'll put my mask on the line for one more shot at shutting your mouth and taking what's rightfully mine. And you better bring your best, "champ", 'cos the way I see it, mask or no mask, I got nothing to lose. I've been screwed over, beatdown and, now, the girl I love wants nothing to do with me. So, if I lose my mask, that's the last you'll see of me but, rest assured, I won't lose... not this time!

Hudson: The last we'll see of him? What the hell does that mean?
Gertner: I think we'll be seeing a lot more of him at Heatwave, Scotty-boy, when AJ forces him to reveal that ugly mug of his!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpg
The two men put on a fantastic match, the best seen on an ECW broadcast all month.
After an even, to-and-fro affair, Rhino hits the Gore on Burchill in the fourteenth minute.

Gertner: That's it, Burchill's done!

As Shane Douglas screams for his protege to get up, Rhino beats his chest and screams at the fans.

"The Soul Taker" strides to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg

Rhino motions for the deadman to make his way down. Taker duly obliges.
As Calaway enters the ring, he whips the Man Beast to the ropes.
Big Boot...
No... Rhino ducks underneath and rebounds again.
GORE!
No! Calaway catches Rhino as he drives with his shoulder, holding him in a gutwrench.
He lifts the Man Beast up...
Elevated Powerbomb!

Hudson: My god, he just reversed the Gore! That must be the first time anyone has ever managed!
Gertner: ...and Rhino's out!

As Taker ducks out to ringside, John Finnegan is forced to decide that neither competitor is fit to continue.
The match ends in a no contest.
Match Rating: A

After the bell, Calaway re-enters and lays the boots into Rhino.

Raven's Nest run out.

As "The Soul Taker" beats down on the Man Beast, the Nest lay into Paul Burchill.
Douglas enters to help his protege and begins a brawl with Raven, in which Taker soon comes to his aid.

Vito Thomaselli sprints to the ring to aid his new allies.

Well, you never fail to amaze me man.

Your ECW is by far the best one on these boards and probaby ever. I can tell you loved the product.

I'm really enjoying Raven's Nest right now. Raven, Big SHot, and Abyss....talk about psychos....well...Maybe Paul Wight isn't all that crazy, but anytime you put Abyss and Raven together bad things are bound to happen.

Keep up the good work.

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Juventud Guerrera & Owen Hart vs. AJ Styles & Chris Jericho
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg

Chris Jericho certainly got inside the head of Owen Hart on Monday, assaulting him from behind after his match againts Vito Thomaselli. Even that, was after he tried to cost him the match. As for Guerrera and Styles, their heated rivalry showed no signs of cooling as Juvi accepted the World Television Champion's offer of a Mask versus Title match, a setting in which this rivalry may well reach its climactic end.



The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Second Generation Of Dudleyz
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg

This week, The Hardcore Innovators may get a true taste of exactly what they are in for at Heatwave as they take on Bubba and D-Von's innevitably illegitimate nephews. Can Big Dick Jr and Ultimo "Banzai" Dudley II finish the job before their uncles even get their hands dirty?



Mark Calaway vs. Bret Hart
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg

Both Calaway and Rhino seek to prove a point to the other ahead of their match at Heatwave. "The Soul Taker" has challenged an old nemesis from his time in the federation to make his point loud and clear.



Sabu & Jerry Lynn vs. Nate Hatred & Chris Hero
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

New meets old in this tag team match as two of ECW's most established and respected veterans are set to quash the uprising of the new generation. That is if they can contain "The Saviour of ECW" and its "Most Extreme Athlete".



Paul Burchill & Vito Thomaselli
vs.
Monsters Inc.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

This match marks another episode in both Burchill and Thomaselli's personal wars with Raven. There may be a lot of intense rivalries in ECW but none are more deep rooted than this. "The New Franchise" betrayed his mentor Raven and helped Vito get in the head of the champion; Raven hospitalised Thomaselli's entire family and Burchill's prospective girlfriend. If this isn't the ugliest damn thing you've ever seen, the main event at Heatwave certainly will be!


Plus...
Paul E holds an in-ring conference to confirm the terms of three Heatwave matches.

Rhino vs. The Sandman
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

Rhino's point to prove also comes in the form of a former nemesis: former World Heavyweight Champion, The Sandman. Why is this the main event? Because these two might just beat the holy sh*t out of each other... and we can't wait to see it!

[tristram]

nevermore, why do I get the feeling I will one day stumble into some backward English city like Blackburn, with you smoking a pipe wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat, with a great big bushy Haystacks beard, and your living room is nothing but a series of investigation novels and a Raven shrine :D... I get the feeling that when we play Cluedo the killer should always be nevermore because frankly no one could pull off a stunt/surprise like you can, with such vibrant yet well disguised clues... (It's all a compliment mate :D)

In other words, you are the master of ECW and suspense. Listen mate, the wife watches some of those real ****house detective style shows that are populating mainstream TV these days, those blokes could use an idea of how to build suspense and have all the loose ends tie neatly together after a nice slow long deathly build. This continues to blow the mind, what a brilliant, masterful story this is.

You are a real credit to these boards my friend, and it's been a real priveledge reading this dynasty.

PS: Aside from the tongue in cheek Blackburn comment (down with Rovers), where are you actually from?

[keefmoon]

Crew: Is that Shakespeare?

Dragon: Fortune cookie.

If anyone else but you tried that line I'd have thought they were an idiot. But I couldn't help but laugh...

Firstly, Jesus H Christ! Chemistry or no chemistry, a C for Sabu vs Taker? How bad was this lack of chemistry- were they actually in the same building?!

Another great show though bud. Like Trist says you are the master of build up and I love seeing all these new guys charging through- Burchill, Rhino, Vito etc. I can't wait to see what matches Paul E makes for Heatwave on Blood Sweat and Beers.

[keefmoon]

Aside from the tongue in cheek Blackburn comment (down with Rovers), where are you actually from?

From memory I want to say Berkshire or somewhere west of London (aka the wrong side of London!) but don't hold me to that. Also, I think that was before Nevvy moved after Baby Kiefer (:p) was born.

[totti]

Another fantastic show mate. I agree with Mikey, I've loved what you've done with Raven from the very beginning. The Ultimo Dragon segment was great aswell. :D

I can't wait to see what goes down at Heatwave.



AJ and Jericho - Tough one this because Juvi got the win in the last tag match but Owen could do with a win after losing to Vito.

The Hardcore Innovators - I think they will overcome the interfere from the rest of the Dudleys but I another tough one to pick.

Mark Calaway - We haven't seen much of Bret recently so I think he'll beat 'The Soul Taker'. What a match for TV though!

Hatred and Hero - Hatred has been dominating recently and I see Angle coming and attacking Lynn during the match.

Burchill and Vito - If Vito can beat the two behemoths single handedly then he'll have now trouble with Burchill on his team.

Rhino - Same as the Calaway/Hart match.


As always, can't wait for the show.

[Nevermore]

The Ultimo Dragon segment was great aswell. :D.

If anyone else but you tried that line I'd have thought they were an idiot. But I couldn't help but laugh...

Whew... glad you boys liked that. I was wondering whether to bother sticking it in for a while :o.

Firstly, Jesus H Christ! Chemistry or no chemistry, a C for Sabu vs Taker? How bad was this lack of chemistry- were they actually in the same building?!

...and they were supposed to be guaranteed mid-month ratings :rolleyes:!

I can't wait to see what matches Paul E makes for Heatwave on Blood Sweat and Beers.

...an excuse for needlessly violent gimmick matches. So, always good in my book at least :D.

From memory I want to say Berkshire or somewhere west of London (aka the wrong side of London!) but don't hold me to that. Also, I think that was before Nevvy moved after Baby Kiefer (:p) was born.

Yep, originally from Berkshire. Now, in Battersea and soon to be back in the West o' London area.

nevermore, why do I get the feeling I will one day stumble into some backward English city like Blackburn, with you smoking a pipe wearing a Sherlock Holmes hat, with a great big bushy Haystacks beard, and your living room is nothing but a series of investigation novels and a Raven shrine :D... I get the feeling that when we play Cluedo the killer should always be nevermore because frankly no one could pull off a stunt/surprise like you can, with such vibrant yet well disguised clues... (It's all a compliment mate :D)

Well, thank you very much mate. Hoewever, this is slightly creepy on a few levels: I do have a bushy Haystacks beard and I do smoke a pipe* (only on special occassions these days, mind). Moreover, someone (I think it was MrT) just claimed in a mafia thread that, because I'm (apparently) the most cunniving and sneaky bastard, I should always bat for the bad guys (this is not a sexual innuendo... do not even think that this is a sexual innuendo :mad:).

I'm starting to think I have a serious eccentric streak :eek:.

* ...and I'm working on my Raven shrine :D.

Looking forward to heat wave!

just took/found the time to catch up on the last three shows. Great work as always. i think your finding a new depth.

First the Heyman/pag dilleima, then the Heyman/Raven square off and the evolution of and destruction of the nest. The coming of Owen & Bret Hart. (and I'm sure I'm leaving out tons of stuff like the rise of Burchill from the ashes of the nest) but now with the world cup out of the way, and with no big 'Events' Set up for the PPV, the story and the world you have created are showing they don't need the flashy gimmicks to draw in the crowd. That the story has taken on a life and depth of it's own.

At Heat Wave, the biggest story of all will be how almost every feud is red hot and has meaning for both the near and long term future of both the company and every individual involved.

Damn you for making me care weather or not Francine can find love!

Damn you for making we care weather or not Francine can find love!

If that's true, I am so pleased... and grateful.

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers! I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Cheers for the intro, Joey. Damn, am I ready to see this one kick off. What with the matches we've got cued and Paul E's Heatwave conference, tonight should be off the hook!
Joey: I couldn't have said it better myself. So, that said, let's get to it.

The match is an even showing in which all four men see fairly equal offence.
Guerrera picks up the pin on Styles following a 450 Splash in the tenth minute.
Match Rating: B-

Styles: Guerrera gets the pin on Styles ahead of Heatwave!
Taz: Yeah, we just have to see if he performs so well under the pressure of the pay-per-view stipulations.

After the match, Styles and Jericho jump their opponents from behind.
Jericho seizes the opportunity to take a microphone.

Jericho: Hey, Owen, you wanto to know what's cute? Me kickin' your ass Heatwave... that's cute; the Walls of Jericho ain't! And, seeing how you think you've got something over with me with The Crapshooter, I say we make it a Submission match on Friday and find out just how little your opinion counts for.

Stevie: This whole war of the world orders is gettin' pretty damn personal, Sasuke, and so I reckon it's about time we settled it in the ring rather than with pranks, fake signs and face paint. So, I'm challenging you to a one-on-one match for the right... to take over! And just to make our point loud and clear, we're gonna claim two victories for the price of one. So, on Monday's Revolution pick your two best kronies to take on the Blue World Order in a Six-Man-Tag!

Nova: Whatcha gonna do, Daddy-O, when the Blue World Order rumbles on you?!

Meanie: Yeah... Chico.

Stevie: Ya see, Big Stevie Cool is gonna nail you so hard with the Stevie Kick that your gay little mask will fly clean off. Then, Hollywood Nova will drop the Big Legdrop on your fugly mug...

BW Snow: ...and then I'll give you head!

Snow waves his mannequin around and Stevie shakes his head as the camera cuts back to ringside.

The Hardcore Innovators have to contend with perpetual interference from the Dudleyville Hardcore Champions.
However, use of their trademark canes helps even the odds.
Despite the obviously brilliant chemistry shown by Bubba and D-Von's nephews, they have their work cut out.
In the seventh minute, Bubba and D-Von both jump on to the apron only to be knocked off by Ultimo Dudley II. who is whipped by both Innovators into his uncles.
As he rebounds and his uncles hit the concrete, he is nailed with a Double DDT!
1...2...3!

Rhino is backstage for a shoot promo.

Rhino: You crossed the line, Taker!

He beats his fists on the wall before screaming back into the camera.

Rhino: You crossed the f**kin' line!

He know beats his chest.

Rhino: I would have pinned Burchill and proved my dominance if it wasn't for you! At Heatwave, Deadman, I'm gonna rip your oversized f**kin' arms off and beat the sh*t out of you with them! And, after I crush your organs with the Gore, I'll break you f**kin' neck with the Rhino Driver! No gimmicks, Deadman, no smoke or pyro just these two fists, your frail aging body and more aggression than you've ever thought possible!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg
The two men put on a decent contest.
However, Taker retains control throughout, winning with the Chokeslam at 11:40.

Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring, followed by several of the workers scheduled to appear at Heatwave.

The wrestlers are escorted by several members of arena security.

Heyman: Taker, please stay in the ring as we have some business to attend to.

Heyman steps into the ring followed by the mottley crew of talent.

Taz: My god, Joey, there are some mighty combustible elements in that ring!
Joey: No wonder Paul E's got security out here.

Heyman: First of all, let me make one thing perfectly clear. Some of you have wrestled tonight; some of you are scheduled to wrestle. Either way, there will be no confrontation now or you will be removed from the Heatwave card... and the ECW active roster.

The six workers in the ring grudgingly seperate themselves amids the blak shirts of the officials.

Heyman: Firstly, I want to make something official: Jerry Lynn and Chris Hero will meet ina rematch from Hardcore Heaven at Heatwave!

None of the present workers seem bothered.

Heyman: ...and on to the rest of you. AJ and Juvi, I hear you've got a "Title versus Mask" Match planned. Well, it's not gonna be quite that simple. You see, I figure we'll make it a Stairway To Hell Match. Two hooks will be suspended above the ring. For the challenger to be victorious, he must retrieve the championship belt from the first hook. For the challenger to retain, he must forceably remove the challengers mask and hang it upon the other hook!

The crowd cheers as the two competitors nod in approval of the stipulations.

Heyman: Now, get the hell out of here.

AJ and Juvi make their exit as Heyman beckons "The Soul Taker" and "The Man Beast" to the centre of the ring.
The two behemoths stare one another down, one a fair few inches above the other.

Heyman: As for you two, over these last few shows, I've heard all this pathetic sh*t about how 'Taker would'nt have lost if it wasn't for outside interference and how Rhino would have won if not for Taker sticking his nose in. Well, frankly, I don't care for either argument but, at Heatwave, we'll find out exactly where the buck stops.

Paul E pulls a staple gun from his jacket pocket and a one dollar bill from out of his wallet.

Heyman: Since you two can't stop heaping fault on the other, your gonna use one of these...

He lifts the staple gun.

Heyman: ...to staple one of these...

He waves the dollar bill.

Heyman: ...to any part of your opponents anatomy in order to win the first ever "Buck Stops Here" Match at Heatwave.

Rhino smiles disturbingly and shoves Taker.
Calaway shoves back.
The entire security force descends upon them, dragging either man from the ring.

Heyman: ...and now we come to the match that I'm dying to see.

The crowd pops in agreement.

Heyman: Raven, do you know what stipulation it's gonna be yet?

The champion laughs.

Raven: I'll go you one better.

Monsters Inc. walk to the ring, Goliath carrying a contract on a clipboard.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

Heyman: What the hell is that?

Raven: This is a contract outlining my exact terms for our title match at Heatwave, namely the fact that it will be... a Barbed Wire Cage Match.

Taz: ...and that will sure as hell negate the presence of Vito's new allies.
Joey: You have to give it to raven, as slimy as he is, he knows exactly what he's doing.
Taz: It's pretty damn ballsy as well, though, Joe. I mean Burchill and Douglas won't be able to interfere but neither will Raven's monsters...

Heyman snatches the contract and flicks through.

Raven: Read it through all you want, Paul E. If you and Vito don't sign it, there will be no match at Heatwave!

Heyman looks at Vito who nods.
The Chief Talent Official grudgingly signs the contract.
Vito then takes the contract and also signs before all four men are led to the back by security.

D-Von: Hardcore Innovators, my nephews may not have beaten you tonight but, at Heatwave, me and my brother from another mother will. You see, our nephews are young and inexperienced. they haven't even sired their first offspring.

Daizy: So, Cactus, Tommy you better watch your backs, boys, 'cos the first family of Dudleyville is gonna teach you what hardcore is all about!

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

Buck stops here match! Where do these ideas come from?! I love it by the way, it's very different which is always good. I think Vito won't get a better chance in the barbed wire steel cage match as he has Raven one on one but I wouldn't be surprised if The Nest somehow find their way in. The Stairway to Hell match should be great aswell, I'm actually wanting AJ to win that because I think it will open up more possibilites with Francine if he's unmasked which should be fun.

Can't wait for Heatwave mate, your ppv's always deliver!

There aren't any one dollar bills, staple guns or barbed wire cages... at least, not yet. However, in this main event tag team match, four of the toughest wrestlers in the world step up to prove a point ahead of arguably the most defining matches of their careers to date.

Love the barbed wire match for the title match, and the Stairway To Hell match will be insane. You never fail to amaze.

So wait, does that mean if AJ removes Juvi's mask, that Juvi can still win as long as he gets the title down before AJ hangs up the mask?

Damn, if I were Juvi I'd leave my mask in the dressing room and come out wearing face paint or something. By the time AJ goes backstage to get the mask so he can hang it up, I'd have climbed the ladder.

I think you're right. Nevvy's certainly got the pedigree to continue with this level of creativity. It's amazing how a blue blood from Berkshire can be so tuned in to something as extreme as ECW (see "Buck Stops Here" match).

Any new diary writers should really look through this before they start to see just how creative, intelligent and downright aweosme a diary can be. This is how you play the game, let me tell you.

well yea, it would have to play a big part. Every time he gets close to winning the match he'll also be giving AJ a big advantage by moving the mask closer to the hook. It's genius really because it's a whole new element to that type of match.

However, Paul Burchill proves himself to be one of the very few heavyweights who can keep up with the luchadore's blistering pace.
After overpowering Mysterio for several minutes, "The New Franchise" hits the C-4 for the victory.

Juventud Guerrera is sitting backstage, taping up his fists as Francine enters.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

Francine: Juvi...

Juvi: Oh, what now?

Francine: About last week...

Juvi: Don't bother, Franny. I'm a big kid and I don't need you sparing my feelings.

Francine: I... I just want to explain.

Juvi: No need. I get it loud and clear. You can't bring yourself to be seen with a guy who ain't a pretty face and, since you don't know how I look, it's better to not take the chance, right?

Francine: Juvi, that's not it. I...

The luchadore stands up and speaks coldly.

Juvi: Don't bother coming to the ring on Friday. You're a needless distraction... understand?

He makes his exit, slamming the door on his way out.
Francine is left, once again, looking teary-eyed.

After the match, The Hardcore Innovators run out, canes in hand.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TommyDreamer.jpg

Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer immediatley lay out the Second Generation of Dudleyz with stiff cane shots.
They then roll into the ring.
Cactus Jack boots Bubba in the gut.
Dreamer does the same to D-Von.
Simultaneous DDTs!
Dreamer ducks out to ringside, throws the Dudleyville Hardcore Title belts to his partner and picks up a microphone.

Dreamer: Your little winning streak comes to an end at Heatwave, boys.

Cactus: You have the nerve to call these hardcore titles? I've knocked put my front teeth, cut off one of my ears and suffered more concussions than Big Daddy Dudley has sired children!

Dreamer: So, seeing as these titles are quite clearly coming with us after our match, we figure we'll take the chance to get familiar by taking them with us right now.

The Innovators head to the back with the belts slung over their shoulders.

The match is a very even contest in which both teams see equal offence.
However, it is the bWo who prevail after Big Stevie Cool lands his Stevie Kick on Oz in the tenth minute.

Chris Jericho is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpg

Jericho: So, Owen, I here you've accepted my little wager. Well, sucks to be you, I guess, 'cos on Friday night I will make you tap... don't doubt it for a second. You see, as much as you think you've achieved, I'm a former World Heavyweight Champion and you... aren't. At Heatwave, it's no longer gonna be your brother, Bret, who keeps you out of the spotlight, Owen, because neither of you can hold a candle to "The Lionheart" and The Crapshooter will finally be exposed as an obsolete relic of wrestling past.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpg
Sadly, this match does not live up to some of the recent efforts of the aerial midcarders.
However, the two men still look set to kill each other (and, perhaps, themselves) in retribution for recent events.

In the eleventh minute, AJ Styles runs out with his TV Title.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

As he rolls in the ring, Ultimo Dragon sees him approaching and, as the innevitable belt shot comes, Dragon ducks.
Daniels is nailed with the gold.
Styles turns and is hit by an Enziguiri.
The Japanese legend follows up with a Dragon Tornado on Daniels for the 3.
Match Rating: C

As the bell rings, Juvi Guerrera sprints out witha chair.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

He immediately begins laying into the TV Champion with the steel as the camera cuts backstage.

Hudson: My god, Guerrera's snapped!

Sabu is sitting backstage in front of a promo poster for "Sabu versus Nate Hatred" at Heatwave.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

As the camera pans out, he looks like a breathing hardcore match.
He sits on a table with a steel chair folded around his neck.
As the camera zooms out further, a ladder is seen to be slung over one of his arms and a Singapore cane sits in his opposite hand.
He gets up, frowns at the camera and walks out of shot.
The poster's sub-headline is revealed to read "...in a Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Canes Match".

As the camera cuts back to ringside, Guerrera is still laying into Styles as the other competitors in the Six-Man Tag Match make their way to the ring.

The match goes ahead as planned with all six men seeing ring-time.
However, as one might expect, Styles' affected physical state tells before too long.
Guerrera picks up a pinfall over his nemesis following a Juvi Driver at 12:17
Match rating: C+

As a 3-on-3 brawl erupts after the bell, the camera cuts to the back.

The Whole F**kin' Show are chatting backstage.

Traci: Either way, I say it's time we make an impact.

Michaels: How?

Traci: The way you and Robbie know best.

RVD: I thionk we can handle that, sweet.

Traci: There's only room for one dominant team in ECW.

Michaels: Everyone's favourite team.

RVD: ...and mine!

Michaels: The Whole...

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

The match is a an even contest and a great main event.
The two teams look set to destroy each other even ahead of Heatwave.
In the fourteenth minute, Vito hooks up Raven for a Vito Driver.
However, Rhino hits the Gore as he still holds the champion.
The Man Beast capitalises for the pin just before Calaway can break-up the fall.
Match Rating: B+

Raven and Rhino beat a hasty retreat, escaping to the back as quickly as possible.

Hudson: ...and this hasn't settled anything at all!
Gertner: It's just as well. Can you imagine the carnage at Heatwave?
Hudson: Well, come Friday, Joel, we won't have to!

I thought the bWo would win on Revolution so i'll stick with Sasuke here.


Chris Hero vs. Jerry Lynn
Hero to steal one and myabe carry on the feud a little bit longer.


Tables, Ladders, Chairs & Canes Match
Sabu vs. Nate Hatred
He deserves to end Hatred's run of destruction.


Submission Match
The Walls of Jericho vs. The Sharpshooter
Chris Jericho vs. Owen Hart
I'm going to guess that Bret will interfere attack Owen and the two will have a fantastic feud.


World Television Championship Match
AJ Styles(c) vs. Juventud Guerrera
I see Juvi being unmasked but there are so many possiblilies for this match, Francine is sure to be involved.

I really wanna see gold round their waist, I think their a great team.


The First Ever "Buck Stops Here" Match
"The Man Beast" vs. "The Soul Taker"
Rhino vs. Mark Calaway
He's been getting a huge push recently and is much younger than Calaway.

I think Raven will hold the title for another month or two until Burchill gets his shot, then Burchill will end his reign.

Hero needs the rub and will get it via Angle interference, just leaving Lynn to want his match with Angle even more

Love the push Hatred has been getting, he really is coming across as a bad ass and Sinister Minister is a great manager for him

Unfortunately. I think Owen can't go on for much longer. Jericho still has a few years left and I'd love to see him right near the top of the card

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ECW's pay-per-view spectacular for August 2007. From out of the soaring temperatures of the New York summer comes ECW Heatwave! I'm Joeys Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz, and the man making his ECW pay-per-view debut, Scott Hudson. Welcome, Scott.
Hudson: Thanks, Joey. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity!
Taz: Yeah, well I'll second the welcoming committee, Scott, man. And, Joey, thanks for the intro. Man, am I pumped for this one.?
Hudson: Me too, Taz. the card tonight is truly spectacular.
Taz: Haha, yeah, and speaking of spectacular, Joey, it looks like it's time for your favourite part of the show!
Styles: Is that Balls Mahoney with him?
Hudson: Oh, this can't be good news...

Sure enough, Joel Gertner and Balls Mahoney are in the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BallsMahoney.jpg

Gertner: Well, well, well... allow me to introduce a personal friend of mine. This guy is a truly average performer and I like his whole gimmick, right down to his ring name which, unfortunately, I can't remember right now since he's just some undercard retard.

Balls frowns at Gertner.

Gertner: No, no... seriously. Balls is out here because he wanted to help me do this segment. Ain't that right Mahoney?

Balls: BALLS! Err... I mean.. yeah.

Gertner: You'll have to excuse him, he's a little excited... and who wouldn't be when presented with such an opportunity? Anyway...

Gertner clears his throat.

Gertner: It is I, the man who always leaves them sore but they keep coming back for more; the man who's young, hung and skilled with his tongue, Joel "The one they wanna pork when I'm in Buffalo, New York and, when I'm in Niagara Falls, the fountains flow when they lick my...

Balls: ...BALLS!"

Gertner: Gertner!

The fans applaud Mahoney's interjection.

Gertner: Now, ECW's come a long way since working outta bingo halls,
We're catching up with Vince who, by the way, can suck my...

Balls: ...BALLS!

Gertner: Now, I figure for tonight I'll get some girls to bare their all
It seems like a just reward for me pouring out my...

The fans shout out along with Mahoney.

Balls: ...BALLS!

Gertner frowns at his sidekick.

Gertner: ...heart.

Joey: My god, what am I supposed to say, exactly?
Hudson: At least you don't get him every Monday!

Gertner points to some ladies in the front row.

Gertner: So, ladies, if you'd remove your pants, that would be a cunning stunt
'Cos underneath those clothes I bet you have some stunning...

Balls: ...BALLS!

Gertner: Dude!

Balls: What?!

Mercifully, Gertner and Mahoney are ushered from the ring by Bob Artese.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpg
The two faction leaders combine for a pretty useful opening bout.
Stevie seems to control the match quite comfortably.
That is, until Sasuke ducks out to ringside and rolls under the ring.
After leaving, Stevie waiting for a minute, he rolls back out.
Now, Sasuke goes on the attack.

Taz: Well, Sasuke Cool seems to have found his fire.
Hudson: You actually call him that.

However, after a short while, Stevie hits a perfect Stevie Kick that sends the sWo leader flying through the ropes.
Once more, Sasuke rolls under the ring...
...and rolls back out.

Joey: Does anyone else smell shenanigans?

Again, Sasuke comes out with a fresh tenacity, laying a beating on Stevie.
However, once more, Stevie gets the upper-hand, again delivering a Stevie Kick.
Sasuke flies over the top rope...
...and rolls under the ring.

Hudson: What the hell?

This time, two Sasuke's emerge from either under side of the ring.
They both enter the ring and one takes out Stevie from behind.
The two masked men notice each other.
One pushes the other and slaps him round the head.
The slapped Sasuke raises his hand in apology and darts back under the ring.

Joey: Well, I think we've figured out the tactic.

Stevie rises unaware.

However, his clued-in troops emerge from the back.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg

The bWo enter the ring and lay the beatdown on Sasuke. Well, one of them.
Suddenly, five extra Sasuke's emerge from under the ring and it's not long before the numbers advantage results in a 6-on-4 assault.
One of the masked masses seizes the opportunity amongst the chaos to hit the Michinoku Driver on Big Stevie Cool.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B

Five of the Sasuke's unmask to unsurprisingly reveal the sWo.

The cult, who seem all to pleased with themselves, make a hasty retreat to the locker room as the bWo look on unimpressed.

The Dudley Family is backstage for a shoot promo.

Daizy: Tonight, my family are gonna prove why The Dudleyz are the most prestigious dynasty in the history of professional wrestling!

D-Von: Oh, my sister, Testify! Innovators, it doesn't matter how tough you two think you are because Dudleyz are always tougher. Big Daddy Dudley had a little test for us which I'm sure our brother, Big Dick, continued with our present nephews and niece.

The Second Generation nod along in agreement.

D-Von: You see, Big Daddy used to take us on our fifth birthday and place us atop Mount Dudleyville. Hey, Banzai, tell 'em what happened next...

Ultimo Dudley II chips in.

Banzai: I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I rearry think so!

After suffering the glares of his family members he whispers into Daizy's ear.

Daizy: He says he no speak Ingrish.

Dick Jr: I can speak Ingrish!

Daizy: That's great, honey... maybe later.

D-Von: What happened next, Innovators, is that Big Daddy gave us a table for a birthday present and then lured a Grizzly Bear towards us with some bait. He left us overnight and, if by morning we hadn't put that bear through that table, he'd have drowned us in Lake Dudley.

Daizy: On last score check, it was "Dudleyz: Two-thousand-five-hundred-and-seventeen Bears: Zero"!

Dick Jr: What about Dead Dudley?

Daizy: "Dudleyz Two-thousand-five-hundred-and-seventeen Bears: One"!

Bubba: Let this be a lesson... Thou shalt not mess with the D...D..D.D...D.D..D...D..DD..DDD.D...D...

Big Dick joins in.

Bubba: D..DD.D...D..D...DD..D...

Daizy slaps them both round the head.

Bubba: ...us!

The camera cuts back to ringside.

Joey: Oh great, we've probably already got the networks on our backs about Gertner's intro and, now, they'll be some animal rights agency criticising us for employing bear beaters!
Hudson: ECW would like to point out that we, in no way, endorse putting bears through tables... Grizzly or otherwise.
Joey: I think I need a drink.
Taz: Hang on, hang on... does that mean that there are two-thousand-five-hundred-and-seventeen different descendents of Big Daddy Dudley?
Hudson: If there are, they're sure to show up at some point.
Joey: Oh, god. Make it a stiff drink!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg
Whilst by no means stealing the show, the two mens' performances certainly indicate that the prior comedic undertones are finished.
The first few minutes are contested at a blistering pace before the match slows into a more technically-based encounter.
In the twelfth minute, Hero hooks up Lynn for the Hero's Welcome.
However, The Dynamic One reverse it into a Northern Lights Suplex with abridge.
1...2...
Kickout.
The two men rise and Lynn goes straight for the Huricanrana.
But it is reversed into a Snapped Powerbomb.

As both men rise, Hero attempts the Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors.
However, as he turns upside down, Lynn catches him mid-turn.
Cradle Piledriver!

Just as Lynn is about to make the cover, Kurt Angle appears at the entrance-way with his crutches and neckbrace.

Lynn walks over to the ropes, clearly irritated by Angle's presence.
Meanwhile, a groggy Hero comes to.
The ECW Saviour rolls up his opponent in a small package.

...2...3!
Match Rating: C+

Joey: Hero steals it!
Taz: Prsence of mind, Joey. You don't have to like but you have to respect it.
Hudson: Sorry, I don't think I'll ever respect Chris Hero.

Kurt Angle reveals that he has brought a microphone out with him.

Angle: Oh, my bad, Jerry. I was just coming out to congratulate you on a great performance. Looks like I was a bit premature, though. Maybe your not as good as I thought.

As Lynn rises, screaming profanities up the aisle-way, he is jumped from behind by Hero.
The brash youth lays a few boots into the veteran before heading to the back.

Owen Hart is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Hart: I've gotta hand it to you, Jericho, you've got some balls challenging me to a Submission Match! The Sharpshooter is the most feared submission in wrestling for a reason; my family and I have been forcing people to submit with it for years and tonight will be no different. The Walls Of Jericho, The Liontamer or whatever you want to call it... it may work for you but, let's face it, you've been propping up the midcard for going on six years now while I've been headlining Wrestlepalooza, Summerslam and even 'Mania. Take it from me, kiddo, you had it once but the form you had ten years ago is gone; you're not a cultured enough wrestler to ever have the career longevity of someone like me. So, tonight, don't take your defeat as an insult but as a sound piece of advice to find a more fitting career or, at least, an opponent more in your league.

Tables, Ladders, Chairs & Canes Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg
"ECW's Most Extreme Atlete" is, of course, accompanied to the ring by The Sinister Minister.
He also carries his barbed-wire laced pentagram to the ring.

Joey: We've been waiting to see this one for over rwo months now.
Taz: Damn right, Joey. These are two of the craziest bastards in the sport today and, if you ask me, there's gonna be more than a little violent conduct in this one!

It's Sabu who kicks off the match looking more impressive.
Despite his veteran status, he explodes into Hatred's face, unleashing a flurry of jabs, chops and forearms.
He floors the rookie with an Enziguiri and immediatley hits the Slingshot Moonsault.
1...2...
Kickout.
He ducks out to ringside to pick up a chair.
He slides back in and throws the steel straight into the face of a rsing Nate Hatred.
Arabian Facebuster!
1...2...
Kickout!

Hudson: It looks like Sabu is trying to end this one early.

The Human Highlight reel picks up his opponent and whips him to the corner.
He sets up the chair a few feet in front of Hatred.
Air Sabu...
No! Hatred catches him and drops him in a Sidewalk Slam.

Taz: Well, that one was scouted!

The Sinister Minister hands a Singapore cane to ECW's self-proclaimed Most Extreme Athlete.
Hatred uses it to punish a floored Sabu.
Indeed, as The Human Highlight Reel eventually rises, the wood is snapped over his forehead...
...he goes straight back down.
Hatred pulls him to standing for a Stump Piledriver.
The rookie makes an arrogant cover, merely stepping on his opponent's chest.
1...2...
Kickout.

Joey: Hatred should keep his head in this one. It's not gonna be easy against Sabu!

Hatred drags Sabu into a sitting position in the corner.
He scrapes his boot across his face before backing off for the charging attack.
However, as he charges, Sabu is able to grab his foot and take him down in a rugby-tackle-like maneuver.
He keeps hold of the foot and locks in a Single Leg Crab, causing Hatred to scream out in pain.

Joey: An unusual tactic from Sabu, here. We're not exactly used to his technical arsenal.

However, the hold is short-lived as James Mitchell enters the ring and approaches Sabu from behind.
He nails him squarely in the cranium with his walking cane.
Mitchell helps up Hatred who ducks out to ringside, returning eith a table.
The two men set up the table in the corner.
Hatred then goes to pick up Sabu but receives a thumb to the eye for his efforts...
...which is quickly followed by a Bionic Elbow and a DDT.
Sabu then stalks Mitchell.

Taz: Oh, man have I been waiting for this?

Mitchell pleads as if his life depends upon it, which, in all fairness, it might.
Sabu ignores him, though, hitting him with a forearm and backing him against the table in the corner.
He then picks up the chair and goes to set it up.

Hudson: Air Sabu is ready for take-off.

However, as he dos so, Hatred cuts him off with aclubbing blow.
The rookie is caught with the steel to the stomach, though.
Sabu grabs his foe by the hair and launches him, shoulder first, into the corner.
Hatred's momentum means he Shoulder Blocks The Sinister Minister through the table.
Hatred staggers back out of the corner and is, once again, caught by a flying chair.

Taz: Oh, man, Sabu's on fire.

The match continues in a similarly even vein.
In the twelfth minute, Sabu sets up a table on the outside.
He subdues Hatred, placing him on top of the table.
He leans a small ladder on the apron against the ropes and then takes a larger ladder, sliding into the ring to set it up.
He ascends the twleve foot ladder.

Taz: What the hell is he going for here?
Hudson: I don't know but it looks insane!

Sabu flies from his elevated position towards Hatred.
He collides with the ladder leant against the outside of the ropes on his why, clutching it against his chest.
As a result, he flies over the ropes, taking the small ladder with him.
Hatred is driven through the table beneath the weight of The Human Highlight Reel and the cold steel of the ladder.

Joey: OH MY GOD!

"Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!"

As the fans go nuts, Sabu slowly comes to.
He rolls Hatred into the ring and sets up a chair.
He runs, striding over Hatred for the Triple Jump Moonsault.
However, as he reaches the top rope, Mitchell catches his foot.
Sabu collapses backwards, catching his head on the back of the chair.
Both competitors rise simultaneously.
Sabu whips Hatred to the ropes and awaits the rebound...
DECAPITATOR LARIAT!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B+

Hudson: Sabu had it won and The Sinister Minister cost him the match!
Taz: Something tells me this is far from settled, Hudson.

After the match Sabu is visciously beaten on by both Hatred and his manager.
The assault finishes with Mitchell holding Sabu still for a stiff chair shot that busts the legend open.

Juventud Guerrera is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

Juvi: There is something that everyone should be aware of. For me, tonight is do or die and, just like I said last week, if I don't win tonight, that'll be the last you all see of me. You see, I've lost countless times against Styles and, in so doing, I've lost my pride; I've lost the heart of the woman I love or, rather, I never had it and, as a result, I've lost any chance at true happines. I figure I've got nothing left to lose... except my career and, for me, my mask is my career. So, tonight, I'll either walk out of here as the World Television Champion or I'll walk out of here... for good!

Hudson: My god, is he serious?
Taz: He must be.
Joey: Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't for rooting for Juvi but, regardless of who your pick is, you have to think that would be an awful waste of a great talent.
Hudson: Absolutely! I hope it doesn't come to that.

Submission Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg
The two men put on a laudible technical performance, clearly used to calm the crowd down and slow the frenetic pace of events.
Much emphasis is based upon old-school counter wrestling.
It is in the sixteenth minute that Hart first applies The Sharpshooter.

Joey: This could well be it.

Jericho writhes in pain, desperatley reaching for the bottom rope.
He crawls, inching closer.
...and closer.
He reaches out in a final effort...
...but Owen drags him back to the centre of the ring, still applying the hold.

Hudson: He can't escape!

Jericho, again begins the slow crawl.
However, once more, Hart drags him back.
But the pressure on Hart's own things and back tells and the veteran releases the hold.
He lifts Jericho to his feet and hits a Spinebuster.
He goes to apply the Sharpshooter.
However, Jericho kicks him away and, as Hart stumble sto the canvas, The Lionheart hobbles to his feet.
Both men reach standing but Hart is floored with a lowblow.

Hudson: Oh, come on!

Jericho grabs Hart's legs...
...and applies The Sharpshooter.

Taz: What the hell?

Owen now screams out in agony but begins crawling as Jericho did before him.
He slowly approaches the bottom rope.
He reaches out...
...and grabs it!
Jim Molineaux calls for the hold to be broken.
However, Jericho ignores him and drags Hart back to the centre of the ring.
As Molineaux forcefully tries to break them up, Hart taps.
Jericho screams for the referee to call the match...
...and, amazingly, he does so.
Jericho wins via submission.
Match Rating: B

Taz: Jericho wins using Hart's own hold!
Joey: In particularly controversial fashion, I might add.

Vito Thomaselli is backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

Vito: Raven, I must admit, you taught me a lot. There was even a time when I looked up to you, almost like a son to a father but that just made your betrayal worse! You humiliated me, you punished my brothers unjustly and you hospitalised my baby sister, Kelli. Nothing means more to me than my family except for, perhaps, one thing... gaining vengeance in there name. So, tonight, a night that will forever be remembered for the retribution I will bestow upon you, I will take your precious title; I will take your pride, your legacy and I will take pride in doing so!

Mask versus Title
Stairway To Hell Match

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg
The two crusierweights both look ready to impress; they do not disappoint.
The pace of the evening, once again, picks up as the competitors explode into action.
AJ Styles whips Juventud Guerrera to the ropes.
Guerrera rebounds and Styles leapfrogs him.
He rebounds again; Styles drops to his chest to allow a stepover.
A third rebound...
...and the champion hits a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker.
Both men rise; Juvi hits a sweep kick...
...and follows up with a Sommersault Legdrop.
No... Styles darts back to standing; Juvi follows suit.
The champion hits an armdrag.
Again, both men rise and sprint at one another.
The challenger now hits the armdrag.
Once again, the two men charge for the attack.
Styles throws Guerrera onto his shoulders for a Powerbomb...
...but it's reversed into a Huricanrana.
He hooks the leg, only for the obsolete fall to be broken up by the ref.
The two men back off and pace around the ring.

The crowd applauds the efforts of the competitors.

Taz: Wow.

Guerrera now whips Styles to the ropes.
As the champion rebounds, Juvi bends to deliver the Back Body Drop.
Styles scouts it and leapfrogs.
This, in turn, is scouted as Guerrera reaches in between Styles' legs with the one arm and cradles around his back with the other...
Juvi Driver!

The fans pop at the delivery of the move.

Guerrera slides out to ringside to collect a ladder and positions it in the centre of the ring.
He begins to climb.
He just reaches the top ad Styles cuts him off with a blow to the chest from the otherside of the ladder.
Rather than pushing Guerrera off, he tries to remove his mask.
Juvi resists hitting a jab to Styles' face.

Joey: ...and Juventud Guerrera has just realised that the closer he gets to the title, the less far AJ has to move the mask.
Hudson: A very good point, Joey. With great reward comes great risk I guess.
Taz: Or vice verca.

The fist fight continues atop the ladder.
Guerrera lands a haymaker on Styles and hooks his arm for a Vertical Suplex.

Taz: No way!

However, AJ leans sideways, turning in the process, and, instead of suffering a Suplex, he drops Juvi fifteen feet to the canvas in a modified Rolling Cutter.

Hudson: Oh, the impact!
Taz: That's it, I think Juvi's dead!

The match conitnues at a simlilarly blistering pace.
In the seventeenth minute, both men ascend the ladder from opposite sides.

Christopher Daniels runs out from the back. He is closely followed by Ultimo Dragon.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChristopherDaniels.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpg

Joey: I guess it was always just a matter of time before one or other showed up.

As champion and challenger continue to climb, Daniels and Ultimo Dragon both climb adjacent turnbuckles.
They both fly towards the ladder and their respective adversary.
In a great display of balance both men adopt a perfect standing position on the ladder as Guerrera and Styles are barged off.

Taz: What the hell? Are they gonna go for the belt now?

However, both champion and challenger land on their feet and their momentum causes them to simultaneously rebound of the same set of ropes.
As Dragon and Daniels brawl on the ladder, Guerrera and Styles both Dropkick it from the bottom.
Daniels and Dragon are sent plummeting down with the ladder and both men end up "crotched" on the top rope.

Hudson: That's got to hurt!

AJ and Juvi pick up opposite ends of the ladder and sprint forwards, driving both Dragon and Daniels of the rope to the concrete below.
As the fans applaud the sequence, champion and challenger realise that they have, in effect, been teaming up and a tug-of-war over the ladder ensues.
Eventually, Juvi outsmarts Styles by using his own momentum to drive him backwards into the corner with the ladder.
As champion is penned in with the steel, challenger sprints up the now diagonal rungs and Enziguiris the champ.
This, of course, makes for a less than comfortable landing for Guerrera on the rungs of the ladder.

Joey: these two are gonna kill each other!

After rubbing his back, Guerrera sets up the ladder under the two hooks above the ring.
He starts to climb.

Francine runs to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

As Guerrera slowly ascends and Styles approaches the ladder, Francine cuts off the champion.

Taz: She's restraining Styles!

AJ unceremoniously throws her out of the way to the displeasure of the crowd.
...and the champion climbs the ladder too.
As Juvi finally gets a hand on the belt, he is clubbed in the chest by Styles.
Once again, a brawl begins above the ladder.
Juvi hits a Bionic Elbow on the champion and reaches up for the belt.
Styles, again, cuts him off with a body shot.
The champion then headbutts the challenger and pulls his head towards the vacant hook.
Seizing the opportunity, he attaches the bottom opening of a momentarily stunned Guerrera's mask to the hook.
He then begins to loosen the lace fastening on the back.
but Guerrera fights back, hitting several stiff shots.

Taz: This is insane!

Francine comes to below and screams for Guerrera to grab hold of the hook with his hands.
He duly does so as Francine pushes the ladder over.

Joey: Juvi's got hold of the hook.
Hudson: ...and AJ's gonna taste canvas.

But, no, AJ manages to garb the hook with one arm at the last minute.
Bot men hang from the hook, Guerrera's mask still attached at the front.
Juvi kicks Styles with his free legs.
AJ follows suit.
A frantic struggle engages.
Guerrera lets go of the hook with one arm and drives his fist into AJ's hand that holds the hook.
AJ falls...
...but grabs hold of Guerrera's legs.

Taz: Where the hell does it go from here?

As Juvi desperately tries to shake off Styles, he uses his now free hand to reach over to the other hook from which the title hangs.
The challenger gets a grip on the belt.

Joey: Guerrera's mask is still caught on the hook. If he falls, this could...
Hudson: ...go either way.
taz: No kidding!

Styles pulls down in one final tug and Guerrera falls to the canvas in Powerbomb-like manouevre.
Both men collapse in a heap as the every single person glances up towards the hooks...


A sharp inhalation of breath can be heard from what must be nearly the entire crowd.


Guerrera's mask hangs from one hook.
The Television Title belt hangs from the other.
Match Rating: B+

Taz: He didn't get the belt!
Hudson: AJ Styles is still the champion!
Joey: And Guerrera's lost his mask!
Hudson: But deos that mean?
Taz: I dunno, man.

Francine rushes over to help Guerrera up.
However, as he stands, he pushes Francine away.
She won't allow him to, desperate to see if he is okay.
He shies away and, hiding his face in his hands, he makes his way up the aisle-way to the back, leaving Francine looking concerned.

Raven is sitting in a dark corner of the arena.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

Raven: Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal but, just one minute later, god wins. What about me? What about Raven? Vito Thomaselli, I am your god. I created you and, just as fate is so often poetic, the responsibilty falls unto me to destroy you. The fact that you aim to avenge your parasitic siblings will just make it that much more enjoyable. Although it is clear you grieve for their pain and their losses which I have bestowed, grief is like the ocean. It comes on waves, ebbing and flowing. At times the water is calm; at others it is overwhelming. All one can do is learn to swim. The only problem is, Vito, that I shall be the current to pull you down and drown you in the dark coldness of your own inadequacy.

So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

Quote The Raven

The Dudleyville Hardcore Champions are, of cousre, accompanied by The Second Generation of Dudleyz.
Although it is clear that these two teams are capable of putting on a great match, it is equally apparent that, on this occassion, they are holding something back in order to work the crowd.
In the eleventh minute, Cactus Jack lays into the Second Generation on the outside with his Singapore cane.
However, this leaves Dreamer open for the 3D.
Bubba sets a table in the middle of the ring as D-Von lifts Dreamer up in the Flapjack.
However, as Bubba rebounds of the ropes, Cactus Jack slides in and cuts him off with the Double Arm DDT.
Dreamer, too, fights back, raking D-Von's eye as he is lifted.
Both Innovators approach D-Von and drag him onto the table.

Taz: I'm amazed it can hold their weight!

Double DDT through the table!
Cactus covers.
1...2...3!

Hudson: I dunno... but we did see that exact same video a few monts ago.
Taz: Yeah, but I just put it down to being to do with Taker's debut,
Joey: Well, it's clearly not that.

Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

Heyman: As you all know, we are about to witness the first ever "Buck Stops Here" match. I just wanted to announce that I have decided to make this match for the Number One Contendership to the World Heavyweight Title.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg
"The Soul Taker" comes to the ring with his steel biker's chain which he leaves at ringside.

Taz: Oh, man, have I been waiting for this one?
Hudson: Likewise, Taz. This should be fantastic!

The two powerhouses stride around the outside of the ring, staring each other down.

Chants of "F**k him up, Taker; f**k him up!" begin.

The Man Beast is the first to make the move, darting forward at his opponent.
GORE... no, Calaway sidesteps and sends him hurtling shoulder first into the steel ring post.

Joey: Rhino throwing caution to the wind.
Taz: ...and getting burned for it.

As Rhino turns, clenching his shoulder, he is met with a Big Boot that sends him to the canvas.
Taker immediately applies a Choke Hold.
However, Rhino is able to escape by thumbing his opponent in the eye.
Both men rise to standing and Rhino hits Calaway with a back elbow.
Taker returns with a straight left arm.
...and another.
...and another.
Rhino begins to reel as Calaway lands the boking combo.
He hits a final left and swings with the killer hook.
Rhino ducks underneath, though, and as Taker turns back to face him, he nails him with a boot to the gut.
...and follows up with a DDT.

Taz: And the giant is down!

Rhino immediately sets on Calaway, delivering several mounted punches.
However, Calaway rolls him over onto his back and returns the series of strikes.
"The Soul Taker" then stands and pulls Rhino up to standing by his throat.

Hudson: Look at the strength.

He lifts up Rhino for the Tombstone Piledriver but The Man Beast slips out the back and lands a forearm to Calaway's kidneys.
Pump Handle Slam!

Joey: ...and speaking of strength, can you imagine the power required by Rhino to lift a 300 pounder?

The Man Beast goes for another series of mounted strikes.
Taker powers out, though, launching Rhino halfway across the ring.
As the two men meet again in the centre of the ring, a wild brawl ensues.

Hudson: This is turning into a real slugfest, ladies and gentlemen.
Taz: Yeah, and brawling is the straight-up speciality of both these guys!

In the sixteenth minute, Rhino, who appears to be on the losing side of the momentum, ducks out to ringside to grab a steel chair.
However, as he re-enters, Taker simply Big Boots the steel into his face.
Calaway now leaves in order to retrieve his biker chain.
"The Soul Taker" enters with the chain wrapped around his fist.
He swings a haymaker at Rhino, who has just made it to his feet...
...but the Man Beast ducks under the punch.
As Calaway turns back to face his opponent, he is booted in the gut causing himto drop the chain.
The Man Beast then throws Taker over the top rope to the concrete.

Hudson: These two aren't taking any prisoners.

As Calaway returns to his feet, Rhino drapes the chain over the top rope from inside the ring.
He hooks the weapon around his opponent's neck and pulls upwards, effectively hanging Calaway with the chain from the top rope.

Taz: Jesus!
Hudson: That's sick!

After a few moments of grossly choking his nemesis, he finally releases the pressure.
Calaway collapses in a heap on the outside.

Joey: Taker's out!

As he does so, he is caught by a punc from Rhino, aided by the steel chain.
Rhino covers.

Hudson: My god, he kicked out!

Rhino backs away and waits for his opponet to stand.
When he does he hits the Rhino Driver!

Taz: That's it; Taker's out!

Rhino gets the staple gun and dollar bill from ringside and re-enters.
However, as he makes to staple the note onto Taker's torso, The Deadman reaches up and grabs Rhino by the throat.
Calaway sits up suddenly without releasing the grip and returns to his feet.
CHOKESLAM!

Hudson: Perhaps you spoke too soon, Taz.

After a short while, both men rise.
Taker lands a left hand.
Rhino follows suit.
Another fist fight ensues...
...and "The Soul taker" whips The Man Beast to the ropes.

But, no, he ducks it and rebounds again.
GORE!

Hudson: Calaway was nearly driven out of his boots.

He then re-enters and drags Taker through the ropes to the apron.

Hudson: No!
Joey: Not after such a great match...

Rhino Driver through the table to the concrete!

Taz: He's dead! He's dead!

As Rhino storms his way to the back, EMTs rush to the aid of Calaway.
ECW's newest signing is fitted for a neck brace and stretchered out of the arena.

Taz: Man, I may not agree with his actions, but that's one hell of a feather in Rhino's cap! He completely incapacitated Mark Calaway!

As soon as the metal reaches the ring apron, Vito dashes forward, catching Raven with the Shining Wizard.

Vito, again, charges but, this time, is forced into the corner.
Raven seizes the opportunity to hit several Shoulder Barges which force the challenger down to a seated position.
The champion then lays the boots in.

Goliath soon reveals that he has a key to the cage door which he, of course, uses to gain access to the ring.
As the monsters enter, Vito backs away, clearly realising that his work is cut out.
Abyss charges at him with a clothesline.
The youngster ducks underneath and, in the same movement, slides through Goliath's legs.
He hits Goliath with a lowblow from behind and, as Abyss turns to apprehend him, he catches the masked monster with a Super Kick.
However, Raven capitalises on the distraction by booting the challenger in the stomach.
Raven Effect!
1...2...
Kickout!

Hudson: My god, he kicked out of the Evenflow DDT!
Joey: Vito is not giving up on his dream easily, Scott!

Raven is shocked but composes himself, exiting the ring through the now-open cage door and picking up a chair from ringside.
He re-enters and sets it up in the middle of the ring.
He picks up Vito and whips him to the ropes.
Upon the rebound, Raven Drop Toe Holds him into the steel.

Taz: Vintage Raven.

The champion continues to capitalise on his advantage as his monsters come to.
A 3-on-1 assaul ensues.
However, as Monsters Inc grab Vito by the throat for the Double Chokeslam, the young Italian boots them in the mid-section one after the other.
Double DDT!

Taz: He just took out both monsters!

The champion charges at the challenger but only experiences a Back Body Drop for his efforts.
Vito seizes the opportunity to lay into Raven's cohorts with the steel chair and unceremoniously eject them from the ring.
However, as he turns back into the ring, Raven catches him with a thumb to the eye.
The champion goes back on the attack.
After wearing down his opponent, Raven climbs up the cage wall, pulling down a section of barbed wire.
He proceeds to rub Vito's face in the jagged metal, opening up a nasty looking cut.
He then launches Vito into the steel wall.

Hudson: Thomaselli is in real trouble, now.

Raven, once again, picks up the challenger for the Raven Effect.
However, Vito fights his way out of it and a back-and-forth fist fight ensues.

Kelli Thomaselli emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpg

Taz: It's Kelli Thomaselli... but I thought she was in the hospital.

Kelli cleverly takes the key from Goliath's body and enters the ring.
She approaches Raven from behind as the fans go nuts....
...and lowblows him by means of retribution for his prior actions.
Her brother needs no second invitation...
VITO DRIVER!

Hudson: My god, this is it!
Joey: You can do it kid!

As Kelli locks the cage door from the inside, Vito makes the cover.
1...

Taz: Yes!

...2...

Joey: Come on...

...Kickout!

Hudson: No!
Joey: Raven kicked out!

Raven slowly makes his way to his feet and another brawl ensues.
Vito maintains the upperhand until Raven, once again, resorts to underhanded tactics, raking his opponent's eye.
The champion then takes Kelli Thomaselli by the hair and backs into a corner.

Joey: What a coward! He's hiding behind Vito's sister!

"The New Franchise" slowly approaches the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Taz: ...and why the hell is Burchill out here?
Hudson: To make sure Raven doesn't cheat his way out of this, I guess.
Taz: Yeah, but what can he do from the outside of the cage?

In the ring, Vito slowly approaches Raven trying to negotiate Kelli's release.
Meanwhile Burchill begins to ascend the section of the cage wall where Raven has removed the barbed wire.

Taz: What the hell?

Raven pushes Kelli into Vito, stunning the two siblings, just as Burchill reaches the top of the cage.
Raven grabs the stunned Vito for the Raven Effect!
However, as he looks up, he sees "The New Franchise" raise his middle finger at him from fifteen feet in the air.
He throws Vito aside as Burchill launches himself...
CORKSCREW CROSS BODY FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE!

Joey: OH MY GOD!
Taz: That... that was... in-f**king-credible!

Vito rises to see the carnage that surrounds him.
He picks up the champion.
Vito Driver!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: A

Joey: OH MY GOD! We have a new champion!
Hudson: Vito's the champ!
Joey: The youngest ECW World Champion in history!

As the fans go absolutely wild, the cage lifts from the canvas just as Paul Burchill lifts the new champion onto his shoulders.
The belt is presented by referee John Finnegan

Hudson: Thank god! Thank god!

But the celebrations are short lived as CM Punk emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg

Punk nails Burchill in the back of the head with his International All Action Gold, causing both The New Franchise and the new World Heavyweight Champion to collapse.
He then picks up Vito...
GTS!

Taz: He's won the strap but he's not outta the woods!

The PPV goes off air as CM Punk seizes the World Heavyweight Title belt and hands it to his mentor while helping him to the back.

Joey: Damn it! Raven may have lost the title but he hasn't lost the belt!

Show Rating: B+

[Prophet]

I'm still working my way through the backstory, which has been phenomenal. But I've read what led up to this, and this last event, and all I can say is ... wow.

Juvi vs. AJ Styles for match of the millenium!

I'd actually start a chant, but as I'm here alone, and live in an apartment, I think it'd be an awkward conversation with the cops at 4am.

[tristram]

Not in a shy way you did it your way alright. Great card, I particularly liked the Studmuffin segment to open up. Certainly following the ECW traditions of going to the limits my friend, well done.

[Game-Face]

As always great show, little disapointed that Owen put jericho over, but when it comes to nevermore the story always has a twist eventually--
Vito world champion!! did not see it coming. But man that's awesome---

Wonderful show--

[G-Prime]

Mate, awesome show. Gotta say, I didn't see the title change coming, good to see Burchill's back in the title picture.

[keefmoon]

There was a beautiful sense of Eddie winning the belt at No ay Out '04 to that. While it was a cheap victory and in a sense more to push the other feud than the title win, Vito still came out of it looking like a champion. I would have preferred him to have his moment in the sun, the show closing with Vito celebrating overcoming the odds and becoming champion, but no doubt you've got something on store in that sense.

Of course I loved the Stud and Balls skit, and I was genuinely tense during the Juvi - Styles match, which when reading something secretly on the internet at work takes some doing...

Another great show. As if I expected otherwise...

[W3LSHY]

Man, I was tense all the way through this. Greatest card i've read on the dynasty boards for a long long time. I love the Gertner/Balls segment. AJ/Juvi was a real thriller and the Raven/Vito. I was on edge all along. I actually cheered and marked out when Vito won :D. Great show Nevermore, not just the greatest writer on these boards, the greatest writer on these boards by a clear mile.

[darthsiddus2]

dude I'm almost crying man. this was one of the best cards I have ever read! I meant it when I said if you were booking with Paul Heyman ECW would've stayed strong!

[mistaken]

Damn it! Raven may have lost the title but he hasn't lost the belt!

Now Burchill can get his hands on Raven again! :eek:

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Rhino vs. Masato Tanaka
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

After scoring what was surely an upset victory over Mark Calaway last night on pay-per-view, he rendered "The Soul Taker" completely incapicated following a Rhino Driver through a ringside table. Tonight, The Man Beast looks set to continue the wave of destruction.



Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Nate Hatred
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

Yoshihiro Tajiri has requested a rematch with ECW's Most Extreme Athlete following his previous defeat a few weeks ago. After Hatred's victory over a hardcore legend like Sabu one wonders if the Japanese Buzzsaw needs his head examining.



CM Punk vs. Vito Thomaselli
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

The new (and youngest ever) World Heavyweight Champion has requested this non-title match, most likely to teach Punk a lesson for his blindside assault last night at Heatwave. Vito is riding about as big a wave of momentum as a 24 year old can and it seems obvious who the favourite in this match is.



Chris Hero vs. AJ Styles(c)
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

Following his pay-per-view victory over Jerry Lynn, "ECW's Saviour", Chris Hero, challenges for AJ Styles World Television Championship. Both men look in top form, the former having gained an upset victory and the latter seemingly driving his greatest foe out of ECW.



The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Whole F**kin' Show
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/cactustag.jpgvshttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg

For the first time ever in ECW, tag team champions meet tag team champions as the (newly rechristened) ECW Hardcore Tag Team Champions face the ECW World Tag Team Champions. Although no titles are on the line tonight, this is sure to have a big impact on the legitimacy of both championships!



Paul Burchill vs. Raven
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenChamp.jpg

As ECW Commissioner, Raven previously enforced the stipulation that Paul Burchill could never challenge him for the World Title. Now, despite still being in possession of the belt, he is not the champion. Not only does this open up an opportunity for "The New Franchise" to challenge for the title, it also means that he can finally get his hands on Raven for the first time since Hardcore Heaven.



Plus...
Paul E holds an in-ring ceremony in which Raven will be "forced to relinquish the World Heavyweight Title belt to the new champion [Vito Thomaselli]".

[keefmoon]

Rhino vs. Masato Tanaka
It would make no sense to have Rhino destroy someone like Calaway then job to Masato

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Nate Hatred
Nate is on one hell of a run at the moment, and looking at his match ratings, seems to be getting seriiously over

CM Punk vs. Vito Thomaselli
You're not the WWE. Hence, you won't squash your champion

Chris Hero vs. AJ Styles(c)
Big victory for both of these guys at Heatwave, but AJ is just about the best damn person for the belt at the moment, and again, I bet he's getting seriously over

The Hardcore Innovators vs. The Whole F**kin' Show
Coin flip, though I expect a Dudleyz run in

Paul Burchill vs. Raven
Again, coin flip. But I don't think the winner is as important here as the story.

Can't wait to see the show mate. Obviously seeing whether Raven will relinquish the belt will be interesting but so too will be the next chapter for Juvi

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

Joey: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another installment of ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: can you believe it, Joey? We have a new Heavyweight Champion.
Joey: That's right, Taz. After a six month reign and nearly a two year dominance by Raven, former Nest member, Vito Thomaselli, has finally put an end to it all!
Taz: ...and tonight we have the title award ceremony. Man, I can't wait for that!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg
Rhino dominates this one without a second thought.
He wins with a Gore in only the fifth minute.
Match Rating: B-

Nate Hatred and his manager come to the ring,
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg

Minister: Behold ECW's Most Extreme Athlete!

The crowd jeer.

Minister: None of you fools believed us when we arrived but just at the legacy he has created in just a few short months. He is undefeated in singles competition; he has never suffered a pinfall or submission! The fact is The Appollyon that stands beside me is unbeatable!

The jeers continue.

Minister: ...and proof of that is provided by the victims of his perverse perdition! He started off by beating the like of Steve Corino, both former World Heavyweight Champions who merely served as lambs to the satanic slaughter. He then scored a pinfall victory over Rhino, the man who was suppossedly "unstoppable".

Joey: ...which was only made possible by interference from Al Snow.
Taz: I think they're ommitting that bit for a reason.

Minister: Next, came Nate's innevitable triumph over the apparent "Hardcore Icon", The Sandman. ECW's Most Extreme Athlete proved himself to be as much by defeating Sandman in singles competition... twice. No one has seen or heard from him since.

The disapproving becomes steadily louder.

Minister: ...and, finally, last night at Heatwave, Nate Hatred laid to rest the legend of "The Human Highlight Reel". So, I ask you, he has defeated four former Heavyweight Champions, two of ECW's most revered legends and the apparent monster prospect in the main event, what more must he do to prove himself as the most extreme wrestler ECW has ever seen?

Joey: Perhaps, win a match without the aid of outside interference.
Taz: Yeah, that'd certainly help.

The tirade is mercifully interrupted by the entrance of Yoshihiro Tajiri.

[http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Tajiri.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg
Unsurprisingly, Hatred dominates Tajiri.
He wins with a Decapitator Lariat in the eighth minite.
Match Rating: C+

After the match, the lights cut out.
The fans instinctively no what's coming.

When they come back on, The Human Highlight Reel is in the ring with a steel chair.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Sabu throws the steel straight into Hatred's face.
Mitchell scrambles out of the ring and pulls a stunned Hatred out after him.
ECW's Most Extreme Athlete is aided to the back by his manager as Sabu points to the heavens.

Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to officially announce that the reign of Raven as World Heavyweight Champion has come to an end.

The fans go nuts.

Heyman: ...and I'm sure it will give me equal pleasure to award the belt to the youngest champion in ECW history, Vito Thomaselli.

Vito and his entourage make their way to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglasNF.jpg

Burchill walks to the ring with his arm around Kelli, clearly suggesting a certain "connection".
Vito asks for the microphone off Paul E.

Vito: Thank you, Paul, but, first, I just want to take this opportunity to say a few quick words. Firstly, I would like to thank Paul Burchill and Shane Douglas for ensuring my match with Raven was an even playing field. Franchise, consider yourself top of the number one contenders' list.

Burchill tips his head in appreciation.

Vito: Secondly, I want to thank my family: my parents for encouraging me to come to America and pursue my dreams but, even more importantly, my brothers and sister who have helped me through all my trials.

Brandon, Sal and Kelli take turns to hug their brother.

Vito: ...and, lastly, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you for...

Raven interrupts the champion by making his way down to the ring with his Nest.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpg

Raven: Apologies for interrupting this touching little ceremony but these people don't deserve any thanks, least of all from a subservient little prick like you!

Heyman: Raven, you're here to relinquish... nothing more.

The champion smirks.

Raven: I wouldn't be so sure, Paul E.

CM Punk pulls a wad of paper from behind his back and hands it to Raven.

Taz: What the hell is that?
Joey: I have no idea.

Raven: What I have here, Paul, is the contract that you and Vito so hastily signed ahead of Heatwave.

Paul E's face falls realising something is amiss.

Raven: Now, before anyone gets any big ideas, this is merely a copy... one of several, in fact. However, allow me to direct your attention to clause 17.2a...

Raven flicks through what seems like hundreds of sheets of paper.

Raven: ...and I quote... "Any outside interference in said match, from any party, that directly affects the champion's ability to retain his title will result in a disqualification and, therefore, negate any apparent title changes".

The boos around the arena are deafening.

Joey: What the hell?
Taz: No way!

Raven: So, for the slower minds amongst you, that means this belt slung over my shoulder still belongs to me.

Vito, white with rage, goes nose-to-nose with Raven.

Raven: I'll elaborate on something else too. You see, Vito, this doesn't make you a former World Heavyweight Champion. Since the overriding stipulation was a product of the match in which the title was defended, you never were the champion... you remain the same unachieving sack of sh*t you always have been!

Vito makes to swing a punch but Goliath stands in his way.

Heyman: You can't be serious?

Raven: Now, see if I was joking, I'd be laughing.

He pauses and chuckles.

Raven: Actually, I am laughing... it's pretty f**king funny. But I'm dead serious, ass hole!

The members of The Nest all smile.

Raven: Which brings me to clause 24.17e: "Any interference from Paul Burchill or Shane Douglas will grant the ECW Commissioner the right to terminate both of their contracts without requirment for managerial negotiation." Hang on, who is the commissioner?

Punk: Ain't that you, boss?

Raven laughs

Raven: Oh, yeah... Hey, "Franchise", pack your f**kin' bags!

Joey: No way!
Taz: You've gotta be f**kin' kdding!

Burchill smiles and takes the microphone.

Burchill: You're crazy, man. You know I'm the draw around here; Paul E will find a loophole.

Raven: Ha, he can try. You reckon I haven't thought this one through?

Burchill's face now drops and he strides up to Raven.
The commissioner raises his hand.

Raven: But to coin a phrase from a great businessman, in the interest of fairness, I have devised a solution to please both parties.

Shane Douglas restrains Paul Burchill.

Raven: This contract grants me the right to fire you; I don't have to act upon it. So, I'll tell ya what, you can meet my monsters in the main event and, should you be victorious, I might just reconsider your plight. Let's say as long as you can keep winning, you can keep your job... I guess it's my tunr to make your life a living hell!

Burchill, Douglas, Heyman and the Thomaselli's all look stunned as The Nest make to leave.
However, the champion turns for one final jibe.

Raven: Let this be a lesson... don't f**k with master of mind games!

Taz: Jesus, Raven just turned ECW on its head!
Joey: I can't believe this! He has no shame!

In a fit of rage, Vito jumps his opponent, CM Punk, from behind and the bell rings.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg
Vito lays into Punk, dominating the International All Action Champion.
He continues to do so for several minutes as the two groups stay at ringside.
However, as He rebounds off the ropes for a Shining Wizard, Goliath clubs him in the back.
He stumbles into the GTS.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B-

Joey: Damn it, The Nest steal it... along with the belt!

As Vito's entourage make to exact some retribution, The Nest hastily disperse into the crowd to the fan's deafening jeers.

Juventud Guerrera sits alone in the locker room backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuventudGuerrera2.jpg

His face is in his hands as he remains motionless.
There is a knock on the door.

Voice: Juvi...

Guerrera remains frozen.

Francine enters the locker room.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Francine.jpg

Francine: I'm glad I found you. Are you okay?

No answer.

Francine: Juvi?

Still no response.

Francine: Juvi, look at me... please.

Guerrera lets out a huge sigh and looks up.

Guerrera: Are you happy now?

Francine: Well, I'm glad I get to see your face at last.

Guerrera frowns.

Francine: I mean I wanted you to win at Heatwave but I am glad to finally see who you are underneath the mask.

Guerrera: Oh yeah? What's the verdict, as grotesque as you imagined?

Francine: What? No! In fact, seeing you fight so desperately at Heatwave made me realise how much I... I admire you; how much I might actually love you and... well... I was thinking, maybe, I was too hasty in shooting you down before.

Guerrera looks away.

Francine: It's just I didn't... I mean, I don't want to hurt you but I've realised I've been doing just that anyway. So, I was hoping maybe we could start again and, y'know, do things differently.

Juvi turns back towards her and scowls.

Guerrera: What's the matter, Francine, feel sorry for me now?

Francine looks stunned.

Francine: No, of course not.

She takes him by the hand.

Francine: I'd really like to give this a go. I'd really like to know you properly.

She smiles; he doesn't.
He pulls his hand away.

Guerrera: It's not worth it anymore.

Francine: What? Juvi, I know it seems bad, hun, but you can overcome this. You sitting here defeated like this... that's exactly what AJ wanted!

Again, the luchadore scowls.

Guerrera: No, this is exactly what you wanted!

Francine: What?!

Guerrera raises his voice.

Guerrera: I told you my mask was my heritage!

His voice become louder still...

Guerrera: I told you it was my legacy! Yet you still pressured me into it!

Francine: But I only did what I thoght was right?

Guerrera: Right for who?

Francine: For you.

Guerrera: Oh really? Well, didn't that work out well. I'll bet it was just a game to you. You thought you'd have a laugh and rob Juvi of his identity.

Francine: But... but that mask isn't your identity. You are as much a man without it. I know that; I just wish you could see it.

Guerrera: How could you know something like that? You think you love me all of a sudden but it's f**king obvious that you don't know me at all!

Guerrera storms out of the room.
Francine follows him.
She pursues him down the corridoor.

Francine: Where are you going?

Guerrera: As far away from you as I can get.

Francine: But we can sort this out.

Guerrera: For someone so streetwise, you're damn slow on the uptake. I'm not interested. I had better luck in Mexico!

Francine: But, Juvi... I love you.

Guerrera turns and grabs Francine by the hands.

Guerrera: Franny...

She gazes up at him.

Francine: Yeah?

Guerrera: You love yourself! You always have, you always will and you're not capable of anything else.

He drops her hands and walks off down the corridoor.
Francine falls in a heap against the wall, sobbing.

Taz: Cold...
Joey: He had better luck in Mexico? Does that mean what I think it means?
Taz: I don't know about you, Joe, but I don't think we'll be seeing Juventud Guerrera for a while.

The match is pretty near a train-wreck as the two men have zero chemistry.
It is, however, an even contest right from the opening bell.

In the twelfth minute, Jerry Lynn runs out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

He enters the ring, hitting a Cradle Piledriver on Hero.
Styles capitalises for the pin.

After the match, Jerry Lynn assaults the rookie, repaying him for his blindside attack at Heatwave,

Kurt Angle runs out to the ring, still in his neckbrace.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg

Taz: What the hell is Angle doing out here?
Joey: He's supposed to have a broken neck!

He approaches Lynn from behind...
Olympic Slam!
The dynamic one is left out cold as Hero and Angle head to the back.

Taz: Something tells me Kurt's injury ain't as serious as he's making out.
Joey: Whatever gave you that idea.
Taz: Yeah, I wonder.
Joey: Anyway, now, ladies and gentlemen, we had backstage for a new segment...
Taz: ...Backstage With Becky.

ECW's new backstage interviewer is with Owen Hart.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Becky: Hey everyone, I'm Becky Bayless and this is Backstage With Becky. Right now, I'm with Owen Hart fo r an interview regarding his recent rivalry with "The Lionheart" Chris Jericho. Hey, owen.

Hart: Hey.

Becky: So, last night, Chris Hero beat you in rather controversial fashion. What are your thoughts?

Hart: What are my thoughts? My thoughts are that, true to form, he had to resort to being the little dirtbag that he is. In a fair set of circumstances, there is no way he could beat me.

Becky: No way?

Hart frowns.

Hart: No way.

Becky: Do you think it's of any significance that Chris Jericho opted to use The Sharpshooter to defeat you rather than his own Liontamer?

Hart: Yes I do, Becky. Since that match was billed as a "Sharpshooter versus Walls Of Jericho" match, I think that it speaks volumes. Not only did Jericho have to cheat to win, he also effectively admitted that my family's signature submission hold is the superior move!

Becky: An interesting point...

Hart: It's more than interesting. You see, when I next get my hands on Chris Jericho, I'm not jut gonna make him tap, I'm gonna break his damn spine because I can take competition, I can take rivalry but, if there is one thing I will never tolerate, it is disrespect.

Becky: So, do you have any last words for The Lionheart before we wrap this thing up?

Hart: Yeah, this one ain't over yet, Jericho, so, if I were you, I'd be ready to meet me in the ring real soon.

Becky: Cool. Back to you, Joey.

Joey: Hart is fuming.
Taz: No doubt, Joey. I'd b pissed too if Jericho pulled that stunt on me!

Both teams come out determined to prove their superiority.
Indeed, it is a very even contest.

However, in the eleventh minute, The Dudley Family emerge from the back.

Bubba and D-Von set upon The Hardcore Innovators as The Second Generation start to brawl with The Whole F**kin' Show.
Meanwhile, Daizy and Traci engage in the mandatory catfight on the outside.

Taz: Man, this is crazy!

Considering that both teams are now otherwise engaged, Jim Molineaux calls for a no contest.
Match Rating: B-

After the bell, the mass brawl continues as all eight men and both women refuse to leave the ring.

Vito Thomaselli is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

Vito: I should have expected something like this, Raven. There may be nothing I can do about the title right now but, rest assured, if you think you took a beating last night, you've just made my desire to cripple your ass a whole lot stronger!

After a few minutes of the Monsters taking the upper-hand, Burchill innevitably makes the comeback.
In fighting for his ECW career, he shows just how tenacious he is.
In the twelfth minute, he floors both Monsters witha Flying Clothesline.

However, The International All Action Champion emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg

He slides into the ring and decks "The New franchise" from behind with the gold.

Joey: No, not like this.

Abyss makes the cover.
1...2...
Kickout!

The fans go nuts as Vito sprints down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

He takes out Punk with a Spear through the ropes and the two men brawl on the outside.
The Monsters pick up Burchill for the Double Chokeslam but Shane Douglas enters the ring with a chair and takes out both behemoths from behind.
"The New Franchise" sets up Abyss for the C-4.

Taz: No way. Surely he can't lift him.

Now, Raven runs to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

Burchill drops Abyss and goes to meet the champion but he is booted in the gut...
...and set up for the Raven Effect.
But, no, he nails a body shot on the champ...
...C-4!
He springs to his feet in one movement as Abyss approaches.
Super Kick on the monster!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B+

The show goes off air as Burchill goes to aid Vito in his brawl with POunk on the outside.

Taz: So, Burchill is still in a contract.
Joey: Yeah, but if Raven contiues to stack the deck like this, I think it's a matter of when not if.
Taz: I guess he's just keeping him around to torment.

Show Rating: B

[fordc76]

Damn, the Monsters just can not win handicap matches can they.

Loved the show again, briliant writing that kept me interested and loved the Raven loop holes again.

As for the Francine & Juvi segments, once again you've done an intense and emotional segment. It was a hell of a lot better than similar situations portrayed on Hollyoaks.......but then I took a dump last night that was a hell of a lot better than Hollyoaks....but you get the point.

[keefmoon]

Damn you Raven! Damn you to hell! I hope Burchill kicks his arse pronto, he's really starting to p*ss me off (in a character based, heel way, not X-Pac heat).

The Juvi ting is interesting fo' sure. I bet it seemed like a gamble when you thought it up but it's paid off.

[G-Prime]

*Ahem*

BECKY!!!

*Marks out*

Great show, I'm really pissed off about Raven (as a mark), but I'm not sure Vito was really on the level for the title yet anyway(as a smark). Nice pic of Juvi, loving how that storyline is panning out. And do I see Hardcore Innovators/Whole F'N Show vs The Dudleyz in an 8 man tag for both titles coming? Because that would possibly be the most awesome match in the history of the world.

[Mtm2k6]

I think Funaki has had more success in the ring than Monsters Inc. have combined at this point :p

What a pay per view! Top Notch stuff.

Gertner continues to be as funny as hell. How do you come up with this stuff?

Raven is just increbible, he's my favourite character from any dynasty, I seriouly wouldn't be bothered to see him keep the title for another couple of months. He has to be the greatest heel, not just in dynastys, but in the whole wrestling world.

What's all this natural order business about. I simply can't wait to find out.

Haha, it all seemed like a hell of a gamble. So, I'm chuffed. The "emotional" storyline could easily have been dismissed as not hardcore enough and the Raven swerve could have just been seen as "cheap" booking. I nearly bottled it at the last minute to just have Punk cost Vito the match :o.

Basically, at this moment, I have a few characters that I'm really trying to see how far in certain directions I can take them, Raven and Francine being prime examples.

Cool. I always feel like I'm treading a razorblade between making it the sweetest possible timing for a title change and just having people losse all interest in the character.

Haha, first person to ask, eh? Well, you'll see... eventually.

Don't know if she'll be a constant fixture yet, dude. I quite like the idea of retaining that old ECW shoot promo feel with the music playing in the background. However, I think being on a big network would require you to do something a little less artsy and more traditional. We'll see; she's been in CZW for months now anyway, so...

Great show, I'm really pissed off about Raven (as a mark), but I'm not sure Vito was really on the level for the title yet anyway(as a smark).

Well, Keefy alluded to it being a step to "push a storyline". In fact, it was a step to push Vito. He's beaten Raven twice now and (effectively) cleanly beaten Calaway.

And do I see Hardcore Innovators/Whole F'N Show vs The Dudleyz in an 8 man tag for both titles coming? Because that would possibly be the most awesome match in the history of the world.

Hmmm... let's just say the Guilty As Charge Pay-Per-View in October will come with a certain gimmick arttached ;).

I think Funaki has had more success in the ring than Monsters Inc. have combined at this point :p

Hey, I'm givin' 'em a paycheck, aren't I? :D Goliath may have one more main event stretch in hi before he retires but his stats aren't special anymore.

Abyss, on the other hand, could prove useful later down the line but I do believe in guys earning their stripes in stables.

Okay, just pointing out I'm starting the save game over due to issues with the data. Partially it's due to such bad chemistry figures but I'm not just chucking my toys out the pram.


The chemistry stuff sucked as you know.
Smackdown just got dropped and Raw's contract wasn't renewed - somewhat taking the fun out of the war :rolleyes:.
Ric Flair retired removing one of WWA's only two decent workers.

Extreme Makeover?
by Mike Johnson

Rumours are circulating that, in celebration of its fifteenth year in business, Extreme Championship Wrestling is planning several changes. The full story is not yet clear and, as such, the significance of some decisions remains uncertain.

The first major point of interest came in the form of an offer made by ECW to the owner's of South Philadelphia's New Alhambra Arena, previously known as Viking Hall AKA The ECW Arena. The promotion's plans for the venue are not known but specualtion suggests that it may concern the opwning of a new training school.

In a second piece of news, discovered only today, ECW apparently plans to debut new designs for all its title belts in the coming months. This will be the third look that the belts have projected.

And in a final piece of confirmation rather than news, the reshuffle of the ECW roster seems to be in full-swing as several young stars look set to seize the top spots before the year is through.

From ECW.com

Confirmed for Revolution:

Chris Jericho vs. Sal Thomaselli
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpg

"The Lionheart" looks to further improve on his recent form in his upcoming match with Sal Thomaselli. Meanwhile, with Vito proving himself greatly in the singles ranks and Brandon being tipped to do the same, Sal seeks to show that he and his brothers could be the start of a dynasty in the making.



War of the World Orders
The sWo vs. The bWo
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoSnow.jpg

The recent feud between the sWo and bWo (or "The War of the World Orders" as it has been dubbed) has become so heated that one wonders if the two groups even remember that they're just parodies. Oh, well... they're nothing if not entertaining.



Nate Hatred vs. The Sandman
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

This week on Revolution, ECW's Most Extreme Athlete is revisited by an old nemesis: The Hardcore Icon. It seems that Father James Mitchell's words on Blood, Sweat & Beers left The Sandman even more pissed off than usual and, with this in mind, he has challenged Hatred to this long overdue rematch.



Catfight
Traci vs. Daizy Dudley
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg


Over the last several weeks, many an eyebrow has been raised and many an ass flashed in, at or during the the catfights between these two. So, we say "To hell with it... let 'em have a match of their own".
Bring your binoculars if you could only afford the cheap seats!

The chaos surrounding the Tag Team Titles has reached record heights. In fact, we now even have a second tag team championship but it's not the one up fpr defence in this match. This week on Revolution, The Dudley Boyz aim to end the nearly seven month reign of everyone's favourite tag team (and RVD's), The Whole F**kin' Show.



CM Punk vs. Paul Burchill
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Last week on Blood, Sweat & Beers, Raven dropped what was perhaps the biggest bombshell of his tenure as ECW Commissioner. Not only did he reveal that he is still the champion [in name only to most ECW fans], he also shocked us all by telling Paul Burchill that the next time he loses, he's fired! "The New Franchise" faces Raven's own protege this week in a do-or-die situation. Can he survive or, perhaps more fittingly, can CM Punk?

[tristram]

I re-read your last show word for word like five times mate. I don't know if I've ever done that on a wrestling show. I don't even think I've ever done that with one of my own or a WCW DDTdigest.com episode. But THAT, THAT just held me from start to finish. From the outset what you did was completely and utterly masterful. Your definition of heel versus face is so outstanding.

I know there's been a lot of comment about the Raven-Burchill-Vito-Douglas moments, and rightly so. But the part that truly grabbed me? Juventud Guerrera. It reminded me of what WCW did NOT do. WCW made Juvi and Rey lose their heritage, their tradition, their legacy, ... in a way themselves. But you just paid homage to that. WCW did not allow that story to flow, instead, that was the end of it in both those cases. What you did was perfectly logical - if a man loses his soul, doesn't he then start to question everything? Doesn't he become solitary? Doesn't he become confined? What you did with Juventud Guerrera makes him pushable. It makes him someone who can start to scale the card. It makes it interesting. Granted, WCW had some great humour with Chris Jericho post beating Juventud, but they instead of giving Juventud a chance to get over how YOU just did when back to the monotony of the nWo. That, despite having Mike Tenay as a commentator who had done a great job in selling the legacy, the importance, the tradition, the honour, the heritage of the mask and lucha libre.

If there is an award for a segment that means so much to someone, that means so much to me because frankly you just showed me the way that wrestling should be done. You just gave Juventud a bone. You just allowed him to become his own man. And you didn't destroy lucha libre doing it, you just polished it up moreso.

For that, I give you full marks, mate. Wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with ECW Worldwide.

[tristram]

Chris Jericho v Sal Thomaselli - I would normally go Jericho here, but I sense Owen Hart will be involved again. I think your segment was brilliant on Hart turning it against Jericho for using his own families tradition, the Sharpshooter. You're right in how you booked that, WWE often uses the opposition finishers, but a good heel takes the loss and makes it into something, and frankly, the Sharpshooter is Hart tradition. Well done. Sal Thomaselli for the W.

sWo v bWo - I'm going sWo, loved the Great Susake moment where you had 5 of them. And I think the sWo again will have something up their sleeve.

Nate Hatred v The Sandman - I wonder, I just whether Sabu will come down and accidentally KO Sandman, giving Hatred the win. Therefore, I'm going Nate Hatred. I sorta think it's right that the faces should be chasing Nate Hatred for all his demented cheating right now.

Traci v Daizy - I think Daizy's going to have support here, Daizy.

The Whole F'N Show v The Dudleyz - The Dudleyz are the right full-time to end the Whole F'N Show, but the Whole F'N Show is on such a roll that I can't see it happening until PPV time.

CM Punk v Paul Birchill - Birchill does eventually have to lose, and from there I'm sure you have something wicked up your sleeve. But I don't think it's right here, and thus I think he's going to overcome the Nest and prevail.

However, Owen Hart emerges from behind the curtain.

Snow: What? I want head. Don't you want head? I mean, everyone wants head, right?

Stevie rips the mic away.

Stevie: Damn it, Snow, give me that... WE'RE TAKING OVER!

As the bWo head to the back, the real Chessman emerges from under the ring, holding his head as though he has been attacked.
When he enters the ring he helps his team mates to their feet.
The sWo immediatley jump Chessman, clearly thinking he has switched sides.

Not only do you come out and attack me from behind, cost me matches and generally prove yourself to be the slimeball pain in the arse that all these fans know you as, you hide behind an injury so you don't have to face me. You played on my sympathies; you actively made me believe that I had injured you and made me doubt my own capabilities to work. You're not a friend any longer; Jesus, you're not even a human being in my mind. So, here's a promise... if you ever cross my path again, Kurt, neckbrace or no neckbrace, I'm gonna cripple you for real!

Catfight
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg
This one is the stuff that Jerry Lawler's wet dreams are made of.
Despite displaying poor chemistry, the two women still put on a fairly decent showing.
It is Traci who controls the match, her greater in-ring experience showing.

However, Daizy's half-brother, half-boyfriend, Big Dick Jr, strides his way to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpg

Traci boots Daizy in the gut, looking for the facebuster.
However, she is grabbed by the behemoth that stands behind her.

Daizy covers.

This is another even match.
However, it is clear that both teams are holding a little something back.
In the twelfth minute, The Dudleyz set up RVD for the 3D.
However, as Bubba rebounds off the ropes, Daizy cracks him in the back of the head.
Michaels hits the Sweet Chin Music on Bubba as RVD reverses D-Vons Flapjack into a Monkey Flip.
Both champions climb the turnbuckles.
RVD hits The Five Star Frog Splash on D-Von as Michaels simultaneously hits the Flying Elbow Drop on Bubba Ray.

Suddenly, three figures emerge from the crowd.

Hudson: It's the Hardcore Champions... and, wait, is that?
Gertner: Beulah! You've come back to me!
Hudson: Oh, Jesus...

The Hardcore Innovators lay into their rivals with their Singapore cane as Beulah takes out both Traci and Daizy with a Double Clothesline.

Cactus: This place is called Extreme Championship Wrestling for a reason and we are a part of that reason. There isn't a team past, present or future who could beat us down much less keep us down!

Dreamer: That is the reason that we are the ECW Hardcore Tag Team Champions and that's why we come here tonight with a message.

Cactus: Dudleyz, we already beat you at Heatwave. So, we figure we've already proven we're better than you. What remains to be seen is who is truly the best team in ECW.

Dreamer: So, Rob, Shawn, at Guilty As Charged, we want to meet you in a rematch from last week... champions versus champions to crown the Undisputed Tag Team Champions!

The two men put on a great showing.
However, with his ECW career on the line, "The New Franchise" comfortably dictates the pace of the match.
He looks set to get the victory by the tenth minute.

However, Raven's monsters make their innevitable appearance.

Abyss goes for a Clothesline but Burchill ducks underneath.
He boots Goliath in the gut, jumps up and drives the monsters' heads together.

DDT to Goliath
However, he turns around right into a GTS from CM Punk.

Raven spins Burchill around and hits the Raven Effect!
Douglas goes to help but he too suffers the DDT.
Vito is the one to eject the World Heavyweight Champion, booting him in the gut and throwing him over the rope.
He then applies a Full Nelson to CM Punk as Kelly stands in front of Raven's protege.

Kelly lands a harsh slap to Punk's face and pulls her hand back for another.

Another figure emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg

The woman slides into the ring and hits a DDT on Kelly.
Vito releases Punk to come to his sister's aid.
However, The International All Action Champion seizes the opportunity and hits the GTS on Vito.
Raven slides back in and the monsters come to as a 5-on-2 assault ensues.

Raven: They say that behind every great man is an even greater woman and, since you were in no fit state to fulfill that role, Kelly, I had to look elsewhere.

As the jeers ring out, the woman stands beside Raven.

Raven: This is Alexis, the cream of the CZW crop and, with her around, you're gonna have to think twice about blindly following your brother... and as for you, Vito, the issue is between me and Burchill. Should you stick your nose into my business again, you will feel the full wrath of the most dominant group in ECW that you were foolish enough to turn your back on.

So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

'Cos it's a B show with little to no storylines involved. So, I canae be bothered to write it up full. Depending upon how I feel, it may not even feature at all.

It's a means to develop some young talent; nothing more... I just don't have time to write another mini-roster's worth of storylines :D.

Confirmed for Blood, Sweat & Beers:

Owen Hart vs. Nate Hatred
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

The Black Hart faces ECW's Most Extreme Athlete. With Hatred on such a role, still undfeated in singles action in ECW, it may take a wrestler the caliber of Hart in order to even the odds.


ECW International All Action Title Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Generic1.jpg
Lance Storm vs. CM Punk(c)
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg

CM Punk makes the first defence of his International All Action Title in several months. Lance Storm is the man to make the challenge, although, should The Nest become involved, his chances may be bleak.



Cactus Jack vs. Bubba Ray Dudley
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpg

Incensed by both the assasult on Revolution and The Hardcore Innovator's insinuation that The Dudleyz were a second rate team, Bubba Ray has challenged Cactus Jack to some one-on-one competition. How these men will match-up in singles action is anyone's guess after their success in the tag team ranks.



Kelly Thomaselli vs. Alexis Laree
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg

Kelly Thomaselli makes her ECW in-ring debut and the odds on this one are interesting. 2-1 says she will injur both herself and her opponent; 3-1 says she'll submit and retire from in-ring competition after breaking a nail. However, in all seriousness, she will be looking to gain some retribution after Alexis' violent debut on Revolution. The fact remains, though, where one member of The Nest goes, the rest are sure to follow.


ECW World Television Title Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg
Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles(c)
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

After seemingly driving Juventud Guerrera out of ECW, AJ Styles defends his World Television Title against Jerry Lynn. Despite Lynn's recent issues with both Chris Hero and Kurt Angle, he is said to be wholly focused on regaining some gold in ECW.



Paul Burchill vs. Big Sasuke Cool
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpg

This week on Blood, Sweat & Beers, Raven has booked "The New Franchise" to face the leader of the sWo, Big Sasuke Cool. This may seem like a strange choie to some but two things must be remembered. Firstly, despite his often questionable actions, Sasuke is a renowned legend the world over. Second, Raven is more than likely counting on the fact that the sWo will make their regular appearance in their leader's match. With Burchill's ECW career on the line once again, this one is set to be a fantastic match.

ECW Blood, Sweat & Beers; where progress is measured in pain!
Now on FX

[ya_its_me]

Owen Hart vs. Nate Hatred - No contest, Jericho and Sabu interfere, ref loses control.

Lance Storm vs. CM Punk (c) - As much as I want to see Punk lose I can only see the Nest interfering in this one.

Cactus Jack vs. Bubba Ray Dudley

Kelly Thomaselli vs. Alexis Laree - Laree should have more experience ring-wise.

Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles (c) - Hero gets involved.

Paul Burchill vs. Big Sasuke Cool - Burchill overcomes the sWo and the Nest, somehow.

[Prophet]

ECW, ECW, ECW!
(Sorry, flashbacks. :p)

Owen Hart vs. Nate Hatred
I see Jericho living up to his mind games promise.

Lance Storm vs. CM Punk (c)
The force is strong with this one. Punk weathers the Storm. (Yes, it was that bad.)

Cactus Jack vs. Bubba Ray Dudley
Before the match is over, no less than 5 people make appearances.

Kelly Thomaselli vs. Alexis Laree
Can I put my money on Kelly "losing" her top at some point? Dirty Kelly!

Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles (c)
Lynn's too focused on Angle, he lets the opportunity slip through his fingers.

Paul Burchill vs. Big Sasuke Cool
The man's a franchise!

[totti]

Owen Hart vs. Nate Hatred
Jericho lost last week to Sal Thomaselli so it won't hurt Owen to lost to ECW's rising star. The minister and probably Jericho will be involved in the outcome though.

Lance Storm vs. CM Punk (c)
I think Punk could hold this title for a while longer yet.

Cactus Jack vs. Bubba Ray Dudley
He needs to win ready for the title versus title match.

Kelly Thomaselli vs. Alexis Laree
Kelly will probably have near 0 in ring experience and Laree is looking like the most dominant women after just one show.

Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles (c)
AJ Capitalizes on interference from Angle and maybe Hero.

Paul Burchill vs. Big Sasuke Cool
I like Sasuke, but he's no match for the Francise.

Do I see a Women's division on the horizon?

Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Joey, my man, things are looking sweert in ECW. "The New Franchise" is producing some of his best performances with his career on the line, Rhino is the new Number One Contender...
Joey: ...and don't forget the situation with the Tag Team Championships.
Taz: No doubt Joey, we should be in for sme great action heading into Guilty As Charged and, with that in mind, I say we get to it!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg
Owen Hart's life is made difficult by the constant interference from James Mitchell.
However, he still maintains control over the match.
In the twelfth minute, he floors Hatred with a Spinebuster and looks set to apply The Sharpshooter.

Chris Jericho comes down to the ring.

When the lights return, Sabu is in the ring with a chair.

He throws the steel at Hatred...
...but Hatred catches it.

Taz: Uh-oh.

Hatred charges and swings the chair.
Sabu ducks underneath, turns and spin-kicks the chair into his rival's face.

Joey: Oh, the impact of that chair shot just thundered around the arena!

As Sabu points to the sky, The Sinister Minister drags his client out of the ring.

However, that all changes when Vito Thomaselli emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

The young Italian slides in and tackles Punk to the floor, immediately laying in the fists.

Taz: Damn.. I guess the bad blood between these two is far from over!
Joey: But look out, Taz... here come the monsters.

Monsters Inc. amble their way to the ring.

Punk rises, red in the face, and grabs a microphone.

Punk: You little sh*t! You think you can come out here and disrespect The Nest like that? If I were you, I'd concentrate on watching your little sister's back tonight seeing as Alexis is gonna knock the precocious stupidity out of her!

The monsters lift up Vito for Punk to hit the GTS!

Punk: Hey, bitch... you just got Punk'd!

Francine approaches Ultimo Dragon backstage.

The two men combine for a fantastic match, proving that they are two of the best brawlers going.
In the tenth minute, Cactus Jack looks to have the upper-hand.

However, D-Von Dudley runs out. Tommy Dreamer follows close behind.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpg

Before D-Von can reach the ring, a brawl breaks out between the two men.
Cactus Jack hits the Double Arm DDT on Bubba!

However, it becomes clear that D-Von's run-in was a decoy as The Second Generation enter through the crowd.

Taz: Damn, Joe... Alexis is going extreme.

The World Champion comes out to watch his new protege in action.

Dick Jr: That means we gowna beat you boys up! A-hick-hick-hick...

Francine: I bet you thought you'd seen the back of us, AJ. Well, you haven't. You might have driven Juvi away but that just makes me more determined to see you lose that title.

Styles: Haha, sorry, Franny, I don't think you qualify for a title shot.

Francine: ...and that's exactly where Ultimo Dragon comes in. He knows what a scumbag you are too. That's why came to help Juvi last month and that's why he's laying down a challenge for that title at Guilty As Charged.

Styles laughs.

Styles: I dunno if you can translate, Franny, but if you can, pass on a message for me... challenge accepted!

Joey: Woah!
Taz: Damn, Styles, that should be gold!

The camera cuts backstage to where Becky Bayless stands with Chris Hero.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Bayless: Welcome to backstage with Becky. Right now, I'm with Chris Hero and, Chris, I believe you have something on your mind.

Hero: Damn right I do, Becky! I want to know where the hell Heyman gets off booking me on F' the Mainstream!

Bayless: Hey, what's wrong with F' The Mainstream? I've been told I'm gonna be working there.

Hero: It's a damn B show, Becky, and if talentless little sluts like you get drafted there, that's one thing...

Bayless looks shocked.

Hero: But, if The Saviour of ECW, the very man who has been sent by a higher power to save this stinking sh*thole has to waste his time on a graveyard slot for the fat, perverted unemployed to channel flick onto whilst catching their breath between pay-per-view porn broadcasts, it's a damn travesty!

Bayless: What exactly makes you think that's the target audience?

Hero: Come on, Becky, it's on at 12am. You'll probably be conducting your interview segments in the buff with no more than your own hands to cover your more-than-likely fake modesties.

Bayless: Are you trying to insult me?

Hero: Insult you? It wouldn't be enough of a challenge. You are the very proof that F' The Mainstream is aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Bayless slaps Hero and walks off as the camera cuts back to ringside.

Taz: Chris has a real way with the ladies, don't ya think?

Confirmed for Revolution:

Rhino vs. Sabu
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

The new Number One Contender, Rhino, faces an old nemesis in Sabu this week. "The Man Beast" and "The Human Highlight Reel" are two of the very best that ECW has to offer. With Sabu's feud with Nate Hatred and the new threat that Rhino causes to the commissioner and World Heavyweight Champion sure to be at the back of both mens' minds, this one should be very interesting!



War of the World Orders

"The War of The World Orders" continues as Big Sasuke Cool and Espiritu take on Big Stevie Cool and Hollywood Nova. After the stunt that Nova pulled last week on Revolution, sasuke and his cohorts will surely be dying to get their hands on him.



Chris Jericho vs. Vito Thomaselli
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

Last week, "The Lionheart" suffered a loss to Sal Thomaselli. One week later, he faces his elder brother, Vito. With a more than likely possibility of either Owen Hart or CM Punk making an appearance, this match could go either way.



Traci & Kelly vs. Daizy & Alexis
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg


Two feuds female feuds combinbe in this match. Daizy of the Dudley Family and Alexis of Raven's Nest will team up to tackle Traci of The Whole F**kin' Show and Kelly Thomaselli. Much bad blood is sure to be brewing in this one and several vested interests in the locker room could well play a part.

The Dudley Boyz, once again, get a shot at the ECW World Tag Team Titles as the Whole F**kin' Show accept the challenge laid down on Blood, Sweat and Beers. the winner of this match will face The Hardcore Innovators at Guilty As Charged in the first ever "Champions vs Champions" Tag Team Match.



Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Once more, Paul Burchill must battle the odds to save his career. This week, his challenge comes in the form of ECW's self-proclaimed saviour, Chris Hero. Will "The New Franchise" teach Hero a lesson for his recent arrogance or will "The Saviour" leave "The Franchise" a damned man?





Join the Revolution; Monday nights at 10pm

[totti]

I love the tag team storyline at the minute. It's just complete mayhem!

I'm also liking the old vs. new thing going on between Hatred and Sabu. I love Sabu so it'd be great if he ends Hatred's streak.

Chris Hero is really growing on me, I can see a little midcard title run in the future.



Rhino vs. Sabu
Rhino needs to win ready for his title shot, but Sabu also needs to look strong if he's gonna (hopefully) be the one to end Hatred's reign.

The sWo vs. The bWo
It's impossible to know what gonna happen next with these two stables and I mean that in a good way.

Chris Jericho vs. Vito Thomaselli
If Sal can beat Jericho then Vito can, but Hart interference again will solve this.

Traci & Kelly vs. Daizy & Alexis
I can't see Alexis losing yet even in a tag match.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Dudley Boyz
RVD and Michaels need the win ready for the big tag team title match.

Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill
I'm loving Hero's push, but still can't see him beating Burchill.

[Prophet]

Another classic, and I'm getting really amped up for Guilty as Charged. :D

Rhino vs. Sabu
The Man Beast keeps his roll going, taking out Sabu.

The sWo vs. The bWo
Thanks to the help of the Blue Ozzie? What, it could happen.

Chris Jericho vs. Vito Thomaselli
I think CM Punk makes his appearance before Owen Hart does, costing Vito the win.

Traci & Kelly vs. Daizy & Alexis
Think Alexis' momentum keeps her team afloat.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Dudley Boyz
Total mayhem. Awesome.

Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill
I gotta agree with everyone, Hero is getting better and better each week. The Savior's time will come, but not yet.

[Mtm2k6]

Rhino vs. Sabu - Rhino makes Sabu his bitch.

The sWo vs. The bWo - To even up.

Chris Jericho vs. Vito Thomaselli - The way you wrote about this in the preview makes me think draw.

Traci & Kelly vs. Daizy & Alexis - CATFIGHT!!!!! I mean . . Alexis to continue winning. Yep.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Dudley Boyz - I could see the Dudleyz winning, but I still think they'll be involved in this somehow.

Chris Hero vs. Paul Burchill - Gotta win.

Didn't you have a women's division for a time? Like Jazz and a few others? I forget who exactly . .

Didn't you have a women's division for a time? Like Jazz and a few others? I forget who exactly . .

Yup... It had AKINO and Meiko from Japan; Kong, Jazz and Melissa from the States. Never really went anywhere, though, and they're all back in development. I'm re-introducing the concept as we speak, though ;).

Hudson: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson...
Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.
Hudson: Things are really starting to heat up heading into Anarchy Rulz.
Gertner: We're just under three weeks away, Hudson, and, unless we get a sanctioned catfight, I think I'll boycott the pay-per-view.
Hudson: I'de be lying if I said that would disappoint me.
Gertner: Whatever, Scotty-boy, this hostility is just because you don't posess my wit and charm.
Hudson: Ha, is that what you call it? Well, allow me to cut this off before we have to endure any of your so-called wit.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg
The two men combine for a fantastic, old-school hardcore bout.
Sabu looks strong but The Man Beast looks stronger.

In the tenth minute, Nate Hatred comes down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

The Most Extreme Athlete slides into the ring and bvoots Sabu int the gut.
Rhino charges and Gores Sabu...
...but, no, Sabu pulls Hatred into the oncoming impact!

Gertner: Damn, Sabu's really had Hatred's number over the last few weeks!

The Human Highlight Reel ducks out to ringside and grabs a chair.
Upon re-entering, he throws the steel at Rhino.
But the Man Beast catches it and hits a thunderous chairshot on the Arabian Extremist.
He lifts Sabu's limp body up...
Rhino Driver on the steel!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: A

Rhino storms to the back, leaving two men unconscious in his wake.

Hudson: That was a very impressive performance from the Man Beast!
Gertner: He looks damn near unstoppable.

Slowly, both Sabu and Hatred stagger to their feet.
Upon seeing each other, they enter a violent slugfest as security pours into the ring.

The camera cuts to the back and The Hardcore Innovators.

Cactus: Dudleyz, it looks like The Whole F**kin' Show were charitable enough to accaept your challenge. Well, it doesn't mean sh*t 'cos, even if you win...

Beulah laughs.

Beulah: ...which you won't...

Cactus: ...there is only gonna be one team walking away with gold at Guilty As Charged.

Dreamer: You see, boys, and this goes to you too, Rob and Shawn, we are undoubtedly the premier tag team in ECW. Not only do these belts over our shoulders prove it, we backed it up at Heatwave, Cactus backed it up last week and we'll back it up again at Guilty As Charged.

Cactus: Unfortunately for all of you, the record books will only recognise one team as unifying the belts as the Undisputed Tag Team Champions and the record books will read... The Hardcore Innovators!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpg
There was clearly a real lack of chemistry between Sasuke and Escoria.
However, as this was designed to be a "cooling down" match it was far from a major issue.

In the sixth minute, the rest of the sWo head down to ringside.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoOz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoCuervo.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEscoria.jpg

They do not enter the ring, instead just stand outside looking innocent.
Sasuke hits a Vertical Suplex on Hollywood Nova.
The Sasuke World Order start a round of applause.
Nova gets up looking pissed.
Sasuke approaches him from behind and attempts a German Suplex.
However, Nova pulls off a go-behind and hits Russian Legsweep.
The sWo jeer Nova's move.
The bWo mainstay shouts for his rivals to shut up as he picks up Sasuke for a Northern Lights Suplex...
...but it is reversed into a DDT.
The sWo all pull out kazoos from their pockets and play the cheesy thre notes of failure.

Wah-wah-waaaah

Upon standing, an extremely irate Nova marches up to the ropes to confornt the sWo.
However, Big Sasuke Cool seizes the opportunity to roll him up in a School Boy pin.
1...2...3!
Match Rating: C

Hudson: Sasuke got him with the school boy.
Gertner: ...and that was a school boy error, Hudson. You've gotta rise above the mind games.

AJ Styles is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

Styles: Ultimo Dragon, I've gotta give you props on having the balls to challenge me at Guilty As Charged. Not only did I drive your boy, Juvi, the hell outta here, I seem to remember pinning your ass in the build up to Heatwave too. The result will be no different this time and, despite bravery and stupidity often being confused, I sure as hell know which side you fall on. I hear all this talk about you being some sort of international legend. Well, at Guilty As Charged, the legend dies!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg
The match is a very even contest.
Both men see a great deal of offence.

However, in the thirteenth minute, Owen Hart comes down to ringside.

As Jericho rebounds off the ropes, Hart catches his foot.
Jericho stumbles straight into a Vito Driver.

He sneaks up behind Vito and blasts him in the back.
He waits for the young Italian to stand and hooks him up for the GTS.

Paul Burchill comes charging down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Punk drops Vito and is immediately whipped to the ropes...
...Back Body Drop.
Punk stagger to his feet and straight into a C-4!
"The New Franchise" and Vito Thomaselli make a quick exit before The Nest appear.

A pre-recorded video of Kurt Angle is shown.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KurtAngle.jpg

He is shown in a private spa, participating in various treatments for his "broken neck".
The scene fades into a sit down promo.

Angle: Hey, Jerry, I saw that promo you cut about me. I even saw your TV Title match... great performance, by the way. You say you'll cripple me for real and I find it insulting that you don't respect the legitimacy of my injury but what I find even more insulting was your insinuation. I won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympic games with a broken frikkin' neck. So, even if I was in fit shape to be at an ECW arena, I'd still take you to school, injury or no injury. The next time we step in the ring, Jerry, the facts will remain the same: this is the wrestling business, my pride and my passion, I am Kurt Angle and you will... TAP OUT!

The four women combine for a surprisingly good match-up.
Alexis is the woman to take the match by the scruff of the neck and dictate the pace.
After a fairly predicatble contest, Alexis gets the pin on Kelly after an Alexis Effect.
Match Rating: C

After the match, two bralws break out, one between Kelly and Alexis, the other betwenn Daizy and Traci.

Beulah McGillicutty comes running out.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BeulahMcGillicutty.jpg

She immediately involves herself in the fight between Traci and Daizy as the bell rings several times, trying to indicate an end to the contest.

A larger figure emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpg

Hudson: It's Jazz!
Gertner: Jazz is back? I didn't even know where she went.
Hudson: She's been dominating APW from what I hear.

Jazz slides into the ring and nearly Clotheslines Beulajh out of her boots.
Daizy charges at her... Back Body Drop.
Traci is floored by a stiff right hand.
A Military Press on Alexis sends her crashing to the canvas.

Hudson: My god, look at the power!

Kelly Thomaselli backs away into the corner pleading for Mercy.

Paul Burchill, once again, sprints down to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Gertner: Burchill's back! He must be knackered!

"The New Franchise" slides in and steps between Jazz and Kelly.
Jazz, looking pissed, decides to call it a day and heads to the back.
Kelly leaps up and hugs Burchill.
Burchill looks surprised and a little embarrased as he accompanies her to the back.

Gertner: He's like the Thomaselli's personal saviour!

Chris Hero comes to the ring to a chorus of jeers.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Gertner: ...and speaking of saviours...

Hero: Shut your mouths; it's time for some intelligent dialogue for once. Yes, it is I, The Saviour of ECW, the man who will lead this lacklustre promotion through these dark times.

"ECW! ECW! ECW!"

Hero: Yeah, fine. Shout your silly little chants; it doesn't change the facts. Now, to the point... there is an old saying in this business: "To be the man, you gotta beat the man". These words are at the front of my mind as I head into my match with Paul Burchill...

Hudson: Maybe, but your chances of beating "The New Franchise" are slim to none.

Hero: What this means "Franchise" is that, to be the man... you've gotta beat me!

Hudson: Is he joking.
Gertner: No, he's serious, Scott. He's The Saviour of ECW!

Hero: But that's not gonna happen because I'm not just better than you; I'm better than the schmuck who coined that phrase ever was, who by the way could still kick Shane Douglas' ass any day of the week.

The jeers become deafening as the fans react to both the disrespect towards Flair and the insider comment regarding Douglas' issues with The Nature Boy.

Hero: What's the matter? Too close to the bone? I thought you were supposed to be "smart marks".

The jeers continue. He is creating some spectacular heat.

Hero: Hey, don't blame me for your own inadequacies. The fact is you fans are the main thing that is wrong with this stinking...

<embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i82.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Burchill.flv">

Gertner: He's back... again?!

Hero turns white as a sheet and darts out of the ring.
He tries to escape through the crowd but the fans in the front row won't let him over the barricade.
He, instead, hides behind the far apron of the ring.
Burchill does not appear.
After a while, Hero peers over the apron.
The big screen simply reads in yellow lettering "See you in the main event, 'Saviour'!"

Hudson: Haha, Burchill didn't even appear. He just wanted to shut him up!

Hero re-enters the ring and grabs the mic.

Hero: You think that's funny, huh? I should kick your ass for that! In fact, i will kick y...

The microphone feed cuts out as Hero is still talking to the fans' delight.
Annoyed, Hero slams the microphone down and heads to the back, cursing out the ringside fans.

The match is extremely even and a great tag team display.
However, both teams still look as though there is better to come.
The hardcore Innovators sit this one out, allowing the two teams to beat the holy crap out of each other.
Despite interference from Dick and Ultimo, Shawn Michaels gets the pin on D-Von following a Super Kick.

Vito: Well played tonight, amico.

Burchill smiles.

Kelly: Look, I just wanted to say thanks. You didn't just save me last week, you did the same tonight and helped my brother too.

Burchill: It's no issue, love. You Thomaselli's are alright.

Kelly: Still I wouldn't feel right if I didn't thank you properly.

Kelly stands on tip-toe and kisses Burchill.
Burchill raises his eyebrows in surprise as she pulls away.
He looks at Vito apprehensively but kelly's brother merely smiles in complete acceptance.

Burchill: Well, thanks accepted, I guess.

Kelly smiles.

Burchill: Look, I've got an arrogant twat to sort out, so I'll meet you two later on, okay.

Vito grabs Burchill by the hand as he walks away.

Vito: Thank you, my friend. I mean that.

Burchill: My pleasure, man. You two stay safe, huh?

He walks away.

Kelly: See ya.

The scene changes to Alexis Laree who is backstage in The Nest's locker room.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg

Alexis: Jazz, you may have been the dominant female in ECW once but not anymore. You may have dominated in APW but I was doing the same in CZW where the matches are hardcore and the competition is stiff. So I'm laying down a challenge for Blood, Sweat and Beers for you to face me one-on-one to see who the real alpha female is. However, I warn you ahead of your decision that Alexis Laree does not lay down for anyone.

Raven walks into shot.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

Raven: ...except me.

They both laugh.

Raven: You see, Jazz, if you're foolish enough to f**k with Alexis, you will feel the wrath of a woman hand picked to represent the most dominant stable in the industry. If I were you... well, I wouldn't be.

Apparently, Big sasuke Cool felt "shafted" by Raven's Nest last week in his match against Paul Burchill, saying that them not showing up was in breech of the agreement. Frankly, you have to question his intelligence for taking Raven at his word. However, Sasuke's attempt at retribution comes in the form of an International All Action Title match against the commissioner's protege, CM Punk.

In a stroke of evil genius, Raven has booked Paul Burchill to face his friend and ally, Vito Thomaselli, with his career still on the line. To make matters more difficult for the competitors, Vito will not be able to lie down for "The New Franchise" as he has been told, if he lose, he's suspended!

Rhino vs. Brandon Thomaselli
Rhino continues leaving a path of bodies on his way to the title match.

The sWo vs. The bWo
Chessman may have been forgiven for "his" antics last time, but Big Stevie will kick the bWo to victory.

Ultimo Dragon vs. Chris Hero
The inventor of the Asai moonsalt comes out on top, over the disrespected Savior, but not without an appearance from AJ Styles.

Alexis Laree vs. Jazz
Calling this a no contest, to push for Guilty as Charged.

Big Sasuke Cool vs. CM Punk(c)
Sasuke gets his wish, albeit a tad too late, as the Nest shows up.

Paul Burchill vs. Vito Thomaselli
The New Franchise keeps his job in a classic encounter.

[totti]

Rhino vs. Brandon Thomaselli
Very easy win for the 'Man Beast'.

The sWo vs. The bWo
The sWo won last week, that's all I got.

Ultimo Dragon vs. Chris Hero
Hero's promos are getting him over so he doesn't really need the win where as Ultimo Dragon is challenging for AJ's title.

Alexis Laree vs. Jazz
I'll go with Prophet and say no contest, I can see the ring filled with women by the end.

Big Sasuke Cool vs. CM Punk(c)
It could be fun to have a title in the war of the world orders feud, but Punk needs to keep it ready for his feud with Vito.

Paul Burchill vs. Vito Thomaselli
So if Vito's loses he's suspended? If that's the case then I gotta go with Vito as he's just entering a feud with Punk. Burchill can come back in a month of two to kick Raven's ass and take the title, that's if Heyman and Douglas can find some sort of loophole to get him back.

Jesus, Nevvy, do you wanna slow down with the posts? I can't keep up!

Firstly... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You jobbed Owen to Nate Hatred?! Consider yourself severly down in my estimation young man. Whether it will further characters or storylines or whatever... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Love the Dudleyz at the moment, it's panning out greatly. Love the Women's Division coming through (although you always book my ideas that you don't know I'm planning before I do it, you little sod!) and love Jazz being back. She wasn't the greatest worker in the world but she had something. Maybe it is the Tazz effect, in that she just looks like she can kick arse. So while she's never been the most over of people, I've always been a fan.

The stipulation for Vito - Burchill is genius. Really love it, it's so heel! Can't believe that either will be gone for long because they're both so worthwhile, but it's a great propostion. Maybe they draw so Burchill is fired AND Vito is suspended... That would be super heat for Raven.

Anyway, on with the predictions...

Rhino vs. Brandon Thomaselli
Rhino is sh*t hot at the moment and needs to keep going as the guy is one of your franchise players (sorry, I just bought 08 so am in the mode of Franchise Players, Ring Generals etc. Out of interest, who is down on yours as the show stoppers, future talent, over the hill and all that?)

sWo vs. bWo
They're getting the bigger push

Ultimo Dragon vs. Chris Hero
I adore Hero in this, you're using him perfectly

Alexis Laree vs. Jazz
Alexis will scum a win, but it 'aint over for Jazz

Big Sasuke Cool vs. CM Punk (c)
Nice to see Punk really getting used, he's another who could be massive for you

Paul Burchill vs. Vito Thomaselli
i smell a draw. Yet I don't know why...

Taz: Things are getting even more heated ahead of Anarchy Rulz, Joey, and tonight's action should be off the hook!
Joey: I couldn't agree more, Taz. With the International Allaction Title on the line, and a career versus suspension match in the main event, I think it's gonna pay for everyone to be on top form!
Taz: Damn, man, I don't envy Burchill or Vito but, from a neutral perspective, it'll make for a great match! Let's get to it.

Vito: I'm sorry, amico, but there ain't no way I can't leave it all in the ring tonight.

Burchill: Likewise, kiddo. I like you but, tonight, my career's on the night, so, I can't exactly afford to let you look good out there.

Vito: Let me look good? Are you kidding, amico?

Burchill: I'm not kidding.

Vito: I've gone over Raven; how about you?

Burchill frowns.

Burchill: Don't make me hurt you; I don't want to do that.

Vito smiles.

Vito: Just ribbing you, my friend. Tonight, we're gonna put on something special. Now, excuse me, I have something to take care of.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpg
The match is extremely even and it is clear that both women have a claim to being the alpha female.
However, it is clear they are employing "crowd control" and leaving a little something in the tank.
In the fifth minute, Alexis starts to get the upper-hand.

Kelly Thomaselli enters the ring with a chair.

After the match, Jazz strides over to Kelly and rips the chair from her hands.
She backs her into the corner and lands several stiff punches.
That is until Alexis recovers and jumps her from behind.
A brawl ensues between the two competitiors.

Daizy Dudley comes running out.

Taz: What the hell is she doing out here?
Joey: I guess she's here to back up her partner from Monday.

Sure enough, Daizy pulls Jazz off Alexis and a 2-on-1 assault ensues.

However, Traci runs out and, sure enough, Beulha follows close behind.

Traci goes to apprehend Daizy but is, in turn, accosted by Beulah.
As Kelly recovers and makes her way out of the corner, all six women are involved in a chaotic fight.

Taz: What the hell is going on? These broads have gone crazy!

Paul Heyman interrupts the proceedings and heads down to the ring with a belt slung over his shoulder.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWLioness.jpg

Heyman: I like a catfight as much as the next guy but I'm here to inject some sense into the situation...

Taz: What's he got over his arm, Joe?
Joey: I'm sure we're about to find out.

Heyman: This is something I've been waiting to debut for a long while and I can't think of a better time to do it. Ladies, this ECW's new Lioness Championship which will be reserved for the best our women's division has to offer.

The six women all make a gesture indicating that it should be them.

Heyman: Now, there are six of you and only one belt. So, there atre gonna be three singles matches spread over the next three TV shows leading up to Anarchy Rulz. The winners of those matches will be entered into a Triangle Match to crown the first ever ECW Lioness Champion!

The crowd cheers the announcement.

Heyman: Now, by all means, carry on.

The six-way catfight resumes as Heyman watches on from ringside and the innevitable wolf whistles resonate from the crowd.
The camera cuts backstage.

RVD: ...and how good is that, exactly?

Michaels: Hey, we're everyone's favourite team.

RVD: ...and mine.

After laying the boots in, Vito shouts into Punk's face.

Vito: Hey, bastaro, I'm taking it upon myself to teach you a few valuable lessons, the first being as that scum like you don't deserve a title. So, if Sasuke don't take it from you tonight, that All Action Championship will be mine... at Anarchy Rulz!

The camera cuts to ringside for Big Sasuke Cool's entrance.
CM Punk follows on after him, looking sore.

Becky Bayless is, once again, backstage with Chris Hero.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Bayless: Welcome to backstage with Becky. I'm Becky Bayless and, unfortunately, I am with Chris Hero. Chris it looked like Ultimo Dragon kicked your ass pretty good...

Hero: That's a very black and white ttitude, Becky.

Bayless: Ha, more like black and blue, I reckon.

Hero: Becky, I'll go ahead and ignore your simplistic little attempts at sarcastic humour... the lowest form of wit, by the way... but then what more should one expect from the lowest form of human being? The fact is, Little Miss The Point, that match was hardly important and a true champion knows when to not concern himself with such trivial pursuits.

Bayless: A true champion? What gold have you ever held.

Hero: Unlike you, Becky, who probably only managed a "Well done for taking part" sticker in her special school's sports day, I am a multiple time independent champion and let me tell you something. They may call ECW "The Big Leagues" but the competition here does not compare to ROH or CZW.

Bayless: Hence why you're losing?

Hero: What... are you deaf as well as stupid? That's not an attractive combination, Becky! I am merely saving my efforts for a far more glorious prospect.

Bayless: ...and "glorious prospects" are supposed to be given to someone on the roster who doesn't actually win?

Hero: No, Becky, glorious prospects are supposed to be given to The Saviour of ECW!

Bayless: But if you don't...

Hero raises his hand.

Hero: Shush now, lowly little interviewer, I have spoken greatness. It is time for quiet contemplation.

Her stands silent looking pleased with himself as Bayless just looks bemused.

Bayless: Back to you, Joey.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg
The two men combine for a decent match but it is not quite up to expectations.
By the twelfth minute, "The New Franchise" has taken the advantage but it is still far from over.

The Nest appear at the entrance-way.

Despite Raven's efforts to stop him, CM Punk charges into the ring to attack Vito.
However, innevitably, he is greeted by a 2-on-1 fightback from both competitors.
The Nest is forced to back up their ally as Shane Douglas joins the frey.

Vito's brothers come to provide back up.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg

Soon, a 5-on-5 brawl is well underway.
In the ensuing chaos, referee, Jim Molineaux, calls for a no contest.
Match Rating: B+

The Thomaselli's, Paul Burchill and Shane Douglas make an escape through the crowd as Raven comes to the realisation that neither man has lost.

Taz: Neither man lost, Styles!
Joey: They're both still employed! Even Raven couldn't have predicted that.
Taz: I dunno, Joey. Maybe that's why he was so stressed with Punk!

The show goes off air as a furious World Champion hits the Raven Effect on the referee.

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

Hey, I'm Scott Bigelow (AKA Bam Bam Bigelow) and this is the Bam Bam Exam. That's right; it's back by popular demand (or, at least, one mention).

ECW is ripe with interesting pieces of news at the minute and that, after all, is why I'm here... to shed some light where darkness abounds. The first section I'm looking to cover is the controversial news concerning these two:

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

News broke to the whole industry yesterday that Vito Thomaselli and Barbie Blank who, of course, plays Vito's little sister on-screen are officially a romantic item. I'm sure that makes the relationship dynamics a little on the kinky side but that's beside the point. What is the point is that ECW management is said to be pretty damn pissed. Paraphrasing what I heard Paul E say backstage: "You're entitled to do whatever the hell you want with your personal life but it is not to impact on ECW's image... ever!".

He has a fair point. Wrestling fans, particularly those on the less "smart" side, are hardly gonna be impressed to find out that little sis is actually missus sis. My thoughts: I've met both backstage and they're good kids with a whole lot of potential. However, it's a great shame that the youth don't have a healthier respect for kayfabe.

The second story concerns "Mister ECW" himself, Paul Burchill:

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

It's been said that "The New Franchise" knows full well that he's "The New Franchise" and has been causing all manner of issues backstage. Most recently, he has reportedly shown up to an F' The Mainstream taping with the specific intention of putting down the young talent that is hosted their. One guy I spoke to, who shall remain nameless, described him as a "Jackass... whose ego is as great as his ability."

My thoughts... grow up, Paul! You're a sh*t hot wrestler, no doubt, but that brings responsibilities as well as privileges!

The third and final tidbit concerns this great hunk of metal:

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

I happen to know that the newly debuted "Lioness Title" has been in the works for a while and, personally, I think they introduced it damn well. Linking it in with the chicks who were already in the Tag Title story was a good stroke, I reckon. However, in all honesty, I'm not so impressed with their choice of talent.

Jazz and Alexis are great calls but the rest... damn! Kelly's got youth and potential on her side; the others, not so much. It's not a dig. All three of 'em are great valets but I know for a fact that AKINO, Meiko Satomura and Nattie are in development... that's just a few. So, why not bring 'em up?

Okay, maybe they're associating some established overness with the title early on but, personally, I'd prefer some established in-ring legitimacy. Still, fairplay, for finally getting a Women's Division in check!

I'm Scott Bigelow and that was the Bam Bam Exam.

Thanks for reading...

[totti]

It's back! Love the Bam Bam Exam mate! It's great to get a little inside view from backstage.

I have to say well done. You've made the women's division very exciting which has got to be a challenge. I'm interested to see the outcome of all that.

Another great promo from Hero.

I really wanted to see a winner from that main event, but I just know you have something up your sleve and I know I'm gonna love it.

[Mtm2k6]

Haha Vito and Kelly have started dating? Talk about sick :p

[ya_its_me]

Marking out for the relationship going on-screen, :p

[W3LSHY]

Who else thinks that if Burchill keeps causing problems backstage, he is eventually going to lose a match, be fired kayfabe and be fired for real?

[ya_its_me]

Who else thinks that if Burchill keeps causing problems backstage, he is eventually going to lose a match, be fired kayfabe and be fired for real?

Do you honestly think Nevermore would allow that? Besides HBK's still around and he's still a nightmare behind the scenes according to Nevermore.

[G-Prime]

Man, I giggled at Vito and Kelly for a good five minutes. That is so twisted.

Then again, IRL, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventiglimia dated for a while, and he played her uncle... Which is also pretty twisted.

[keefmoon]

Glad to see the Exam back man. Of course everyone is gonna mention Vito and Kelly (which is awesome by the way but unfortunately I think you'll have to address it in shows, for example, a Beulah- Raven - Dreamer pregnancy angle where the real father is in fact her big brother... although that's a little too "McMahon" for my liking!) but I thought the Burchill thing was interesting. Have you pushed him so far he's become a joke, young Nevvy? Tut tut...

Ha, I gave him what I thought was a fair representation of a personality for someone in his position. For example, main eventing in his twenties, being one of the best raw talents on the roster, being teamed up with two legends like Raven and Douglas. I thought it fair for his ego to be a little "swollen".

The guy's a c*ckend! Seriously, I'm finding the experience fun but, at the same time, I'm starting to like him less, which isn't really all that fair, logically :D.

As for the hinting at Vito/Kelly, I'm sure I'll do something. I just don't know if it will be a full-on angle or just some subtle little hints here and there.

Do you honestly think Nevermore would allow that? Besides HBK's still around and he's still a nightmare behind the scenes according to Nevermore.

True, true :).

Confirmed for Revolution:

Rob Van Dam vs. D-Von Dudley
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg

The Dudleyz continue on their quest to prove that they aren't just ECW's third tier tag team. Claiming that his defeat alongside his brother last week was a "one-off fluke", D-Von Dudley is scheduled to take on Mr Monday Night.



Vito & Kelly vs. Punk & Alexis
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg

Bad blood abounds in this mixed-gender tag team match-up. Both Alexis Laree and CM Punk have a chance at some retribution after being attacked last week by the Thomasellis. Likewise, Vito and Kelly are sure to want any member of The Nest's head on a platter in return for the various forms of torment they have suffered at the hands of Raven.



Chris Jericho & Nate Hatred vs. Owen Hart & Sabu
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Sabu2.jpg

Two feuds meet head-on here as the bruising clash of hardcore titans meets the animosity between two Candian technical legends. With no clue as to how these varying styles will mix, this one could be very interesting.



Qualification Match for "The Lioness' Den"
Traci vs. Jazz
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpg


The Whole F**kin' Show's, Traci, meets the oestrogen-fuelled wrecking ball, Jazz. The winner of this one advances to the Three Way at Anarchy Rulz to crown the first ever ECW Lioness Champion.



Sal Thomaselli vs. Paul Burchill
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

Once more, Raven has sought to make things even more personal in his vendetta with "The New Franchise". Paul Burchill and his friend, Vito Thomaselli, may have survived their predicament last week. However, now, Burchill must face Salvatore, brother of both his friend and and prospective girlfriend... with his career on the line!

[keefmoon]

Rob Van Dam vs. D-Von Dudley
Great to see the Tag Team division getting the props it deserves. There's some mighty fine talent in there so it's good to see it with some legs.

Vito & Kelly vs. Punk & Alexis
I think Punk could well be the next break out star for you, especially after the wrath of Raven from last weeks no contest. Besides, Alexis needs a rub (and I should be the one to give her one, but I digress...) whereas Kelly can't offer much apart from being pretty and having the best name in the business (Kelly Thomaselli)

Chris Jericho & Nate Hatred vs. Owen Hart & Sabu
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry, still hasn't worn off from the last show... on one hand Hatred needs the wins as he continues to grow, but on the other he can lose and not have it be the end of the world here as it's a tag team match, so interesting. But I think Jericho & Hatred will win as I cry while Owen gets jobbed out again. And you know my response on here if he does...

Traci vs. Jazz
I think Jazz can offer more in the ring, and Traci doesn't need the win as much. After all, she does hang out with the best tag team on the boards

Sal Thomaselli vs. Paul Burchill
Hopefully this will inject some real tension between the Thomaselli's and Burchill, 'cause it would be superb to see an in feud between them on top of them feuding with the Nest. But Burchill must win, he can't get fired by losing to Sal, unless you are punishing him for being a jerk backstage

And oh, who predicted a draw between Vito and Burchill for the last show? :eek: :p

[Mtm2k6]

Rob Van Dam vs. D-Von Dudley - RVD! RVD! Expect plenty of Dudley shenanigans.

Vito & Kelly vs. Punk & Alexis - Vito gets Punk'd.

Chris Jericho & Nate Hatred vs. Owen Hart & Sabu - Hart & Sabu notch out a rare win, but jericho & Hatred win at the PPV.

Traci vs. Jazz - Jazz needs the win.

Sal Thomaselli vs. Paul Burchill - Sal's not gonna stop Paul.

[Prophet]

I know you said it's actually Anarchy Rulz that's coming up, but for some reason, I'm still excited about Guilty as Charged. lol

Rob Van Dam vs. D-Von Dudley
D-Von puts up a fight, and once again, this turns into a three team mix up, but one half of the whole f'n show splashes out the win.

Vito & Kelly vs. Punk & Alexis
I think Keef said it best (although if he's unable to fulfill his obligations with Alexis, I am free this weekend) and think with Punk and Alexis winning, it just adds that much more fuel to the fire between these two.

Chris Jericho & Nate Hatred vs. Owen Hart & Sabu
This is a hard one. I'm thinking Owen and Sabu, with Jericho taking the fall, as to not detract from Hatred's unstoppable run, but this is really a toss up to me.

Traci vs. Jazz
Traci makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but Jazz scares me, and if she saw me pick against her, she'd hurt me, and not in a good way. Jazz wins!

Sal Thomaselli vs. Paul Burchill
I think Sal shall fall to the C4, as Burchill takes his frustration of Vito trying to doink his "girlfriend" out on the innocent Thomaselli. (What? Bam Bam told us for a reason. :p)

Rob Van Dam vs. D-Von Dudley
Another mass brawl, but RVD sneaks the pinfall for the win.

Vito & Kelly vs. Punk & Alexis
Totally agree with the comments about Punk, I can see him becomming the next Burchill at some stage. Gotta go with the nest here.

Chris Jericho & Nate Hatred vs. Owen Hart & Sabu
I'm really hoping Sabu is the one to put Hatred in his place, but Jericho and Hatred steal the win here.

Traci vs. Jazz
Jazz is the one who can challenge Alexis for the title so she needs to be in the match.

Sal Thomaselli vs. Paul Burchill
Burchill can't be fired from losing to Sal.

Hudson: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Scott Hudson...
Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.
Hudson: Is it just me or is getting pretty damn exciting waiting for Anarchy Rulz?
Gertner: It ain't just you, Scotty-boy, I've got wood just thinking about it!
Hudson: Damn it, Joel, that's the last time I try and involve you in commentary.
Gertner: ...and that's the last time I involve you in my personal life.
Hudson: Personal?! You just broadcast it to the entire country!

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/D-VonDudley.jpg
The two men for a good, old-school hardcore bout, although a greater grasp of psychology from someone would not have gone astray.
By the tenth minute, Van Dam starts to get the upper-hand.

However, the whole Dudley clan soon appears.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BubbaRayDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BanzaiDudley.jpg

The angry hardcore inbreds storm the ring and, soon enough, RVD is in real trouble.

That is until Shawn Michaels and Traci run out.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpg

HBK slides straight into the ring to help his partner.
Superkick to Big Dick.
Another to Ultimo Dudley II.
From here, a two-on-two tag brawl ensues as Traci involves herself in a catfight with Daixy ahead of her official match.
The two teams brawl it out as they have several times before.

A figure merges from the crowd with a chair.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg

Hudson: Who the hell is that?
Gertner: It looks like another Dudley!
Hudson: My god, how many of the are there?

Anonymous Dudley slides under the ropes and blasts both Michaels and Van Dam in the back.

Hudson: Damn it!

Both tag champs collapse as Bubba and D-Von go to thank their relative.
Bubba Ray is nailed with the steel!

Gertner: What the hell?
Hudson: I thought...

As D-Von looks bemused, his apparent relative, drops the chair, boots him in the gut and hits a Spinning Powerbomb onto the steel.
He climbs on top of D-Von and lays in the mounted punches.
After a vicious beatdown, Anonymous Dudley slides out and heads through the crowd.
RVD comes to and seizes the opportunity for the Five Star Frog Splash!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B+

Hudson: I can safely say, The Dudleyz have left me even more confused than ususal!

Owen Hart is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

Hart: Jericho, I hope last week proved something to you. I'm not some rookie fool who can be manipulated easily. You see, I know, and in your heart of hearts so do you, that if it wasn't for pioneers like me and my family, punks like you wouldn't even be in this profession! You want to challenge me to a rematch at Anarchy Rulz? Let me say "Good luck" 'cos god knows you're gonna need it, "Lionheart". When I get The Sharpshooter locked in on you again, I'm gonna make you victim to the pain that you so richly deserve!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpg
The match is an even contest in which all four competitors stake a claim to supremacy in their respective rivalry.
However, it is the Thomasellis who come away with the win.
After Kelly hits a lowblow on Punk to the fans' delight, her brother connects with the Vito Driver for the fall.
Match Rating: B-

As the camera cuts backstage a 2-on-2 brawl begins.
Security flood the ring.

The Hardcore Innovators are backstage.

All three are laughing.

Dreamer: Dudleyz, Whole F**kin' Show... that was one hell of a performance earlier.

Cactus: And, ya know, as far as we concerned, such performances are more than welcome. You see, the mpre time you idiots spend beating the hell oout of each other, the less work we have to do to walk out of Anarchy Rulz as the Unified Tag Team Champions!

Beulah: The fact is that there is only one team in ECW that has to being the most extreme, the most tough... the best.

Dreamer: Rob, Shawn... we've got nothing but respect for what you've for the tag ranks but, at Anarchy Rulz, you're gonna discover that you're not quite the best.

Cactus: There is just one team better than you: The Hardcore Innovators!

The camera cuts to the locker room where Traci is changing for her match as Shawn Michaels walks in.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpghttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/HBKecwchamp.jpg

Shawn enters not realising that Traci is, in fact, topless.
Traci turns her head to see who it is.

Traci: Shawn?

She instinctively covers her breasts.

Michaels: Dude, I am so sorry! I had no idea.

Traci: Hey, you're cool but... err... could you just give me a minute.

Michaels smiles and turns away for her to finish geeting changed.

Michaels: I may not have saw much but, man, is Rob a lucky dude!

Traci laughs.

Traci: Aaaaw... charmer.

Suddenly, footsteps can be heard in the corridoor.

Traci: Sh*t, who's that?

Michaels looks like a deer in the headlights.

Michaels: Err...

Traci: Shawn! Throw me your top or something.

Michaels: I'm not wearing one. Err...

Michaels turns and beckons for Traci to lean against him.
She looks hesitant but realises he means well.
As the footsteps get closer, Michaels embraces Traci to cover her up.

RVD walks in.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpg

RVD: Hey, guys, I just wanted to say thanks for... WHAT THE F**K?!

Traci and Shawn both looked shocked.

Michaels: Sh*t! Dude... it ain't what it looks like.

RVD: Just as well... I haven't even worked out what the f**k it looks like yet!

Traci: Robbie, he was just...

RVD: I don't want to know!

RVD storms out.

Michaels: Sh*t! 'Scuse me, love.

Michaels runs out after his partner.

Michaels: Dude... dude, wait up!

The match is a very even contest with all forur men seeing much offence.
In the tenth minute, The Sinister Minister strikes Sabu in the face with his cane.
The Human Highlight Reel staggers around straight into the Decapiator Lariat!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B-

Vito Thomaselli is backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

Vito: There may have been security to pull me off your backstabbing ass tonight, bastardo, but that won't be the case at Anarchy Rulz. So, recognise something, Punk. I'm gonna make sure that I get a match sanctioned for your All Action Title next Friday and, not only am I gonna become the first two-time champion in history, I'm gonna make you pay for your past sins in the process!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TracyBrooks2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Jazz.jpg
Not only does Traci look distracted by earlier events, Jazz looks in top form.
The two factors combine for a white-wash and Traci is destroyed.
Jazz picks up the win with a Fisherman Brainbuster at 6:12.
Match Rating: C-

Chris Hero comes to the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpg

Hero: Yes, yes it is I, the Saviour of ECW, Chris Hero, and fortunately for you I am here to, once again, add some meaning to an otherwise pathetically lacklustre ECW broadcast.

The innevitable jeers ring out.

Hudson: Well, he certainly knows how to make friends.

Hero: It seems that a fair few people, like Becky Bayleaf in the back and all the simple-minded unemployed in attendance tonight, think that I am not fit to live up to my moniker. Well, to that, I say this... Ha!

Hudson: How articulate.
Gertner: It's succcinct, Hudson. Brevity is the soul of wit.
Hudson: ...you being a master of "wit" after all.
Gertner: Exactly.

Hero: So, just to prove what a remarkable young individual I am, I have decided to read out a lyrical tribute that was paid to me a few years ago.

Hero pulls a piece of paper from his pocket and clears his throat as the ringside fans boo.

Hero: A little hush please...

The jeers get louder.

Hero: Now, that's just plain rude. I know you guys in Florida aren't known for your politeness or your intellect but surely even you can realise when to let an icon speak. Now, where was I...

He clears his throat again.

Hero: Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

He smiles cheesily.

Hudson: Oh, what the hell is this?
Gertner: It's fine art, Hudson. That's what it is!

Hero: Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need.
...and cue dramatic pause.

Sure enough, he pauses.

Hero: I need a hero;
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight...

Hudson: My god, he's just reciting the Bonnie Tyler song.
Gertner: ...and reading it beautifully.

He suddenly breaks out into the tune of the song.

Hero: I NEED A HERO!
I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT!
HE'S GOTTA BE SURE
AND IT'S GOTTA BE SOON
AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE...

He stops.

Hero: ...and I am!

The jeers become more irate as Hero stands there looking pleased with himself.

Hudson: I apologise for Chris Hero's terrible singing voice ladies and gentlemen but at least he's shut u...

Hero: Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me.

Hudson: He's still going?!
Gertner: There are another three verses, Scott.
Hudson: Someone shoot me now!

Hero: Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep...

Rhino storms through the curtain.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

For about the first time in a year, he receives a positive reaction.
The Man Beast slides into the ring, closely followed by a referre and an impromptu match begins.


http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg
Rhino flat-out destroys Hero, tossing him around like a ragdoll.
He defeats the brash rookie with a Gore in only the seventh minute.
Match Rating: B

As soon as the bell rings, "The Soul Taker" is in the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg

A wild brawl breaks out between Rhino and Calaway.
This one security do not try to break-up. Would you?

Gertner: There gonna kill each other!
Hudson: Frankly, Joel, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

As the slugfest continues, Chris Hero slowly and groggily climbs to his feet.
He grabs a microphone.

Hero: Hey, hey... just wait a damn minute!

Rhino and Calaway stop, astounded by the balls (or, perhaps, idiocy) of the youngster.

Hero: This was supposed to be my time!

Hero pulls another piece of paper from his pocket and points to it.

Hero: Look... you see that? That says "Chris Hero promo segment"! It doesn't say "Yet another boring fist-fight between two steroid junkies who don't even understand the word 'psychology'"!

Rhino frowns and shakes with rage in a way that only he can.
Taker simply folds his arms.

Hero: So, if you two cretins don't get the picture yet, get the f**k out of my ring!

GORE!

Hudson: GORE! Thank god someone shut him up.

Rhino ducks out to ringside and sets up a table adjacent to the apron.
Calaway picks up Hero by the throat.
He chokeslams the rookie over the ropes, through the table and to the concrete below.

Gertner: Jesus!
Hudson: Hero may well be dead and it's nothing short of what he had coming!

Taker exits the ring and the fistfight between the two powerhouses ensues.
It spills into the crowd and heads all the way to the back.

AJ Styles is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg

Styles: Hey, I saw your match on Saturday, Dragon. You beat a rookie... nice one! I ain't no rookie, I'm a veteran of the indepedent scene. Hell, I'm nearly a legend and, at Anarchy Rulz, I'm gonna prove that your legend... is dead!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SalvatoreThomaselli.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg
The two men combine for a fairly decent match-up.
However, with his career on the line, Burchill never looks like losing.
He gets the fall following a C-4 at 14:27
Match Rating: B+

After the match, as Burchill celebrates another victory, Raven slides into the ring.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

He floors Douglas with a fist to the back of the head...
...and hits the Raven Effect on Burchill!

Raven: Well played, "Franchise". Seriously, you're one hell of a fighter aren't you? But, if you think any of this has been tough, let me show you how much harder it's gonna get. With your worthless career still on the line, this man will be your opponent for Anarchy Rulz!

Nate Hatred and his manager step through the curtain.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JamesMitchell.jpg

As Hatred smiles demonically, Mitchell holds up a paper copy of The New Franchise's logo and rips it in two.

Hudson: My god, "The New Franchise" versus "ECW's Most Extreme Athlete" at Anarchy Rulz!
Gertner: ...and Hatred is still undefeated, Hudson!

The show goes off air as Raven lifts his title high in the air over a fallen Paul Burchill.

Show Rating: B+

^Show above^

Dear god... for those of you doubting the importance of chemistry, I have just found out something fantastic.

Nate Hatred has "Awesome" chemistry when being paired with James Mitchell and (I assume it's due to this) he has jumped from B- overness to A overness in just three weeks!

I thought I'd keep him kicking about the midcard for a bit but, now, I ain't so sure. Wow...

Quote The Raven

[Prophet]

Chris Hero just stood in an ECW ring and sang Bonnie Tyler lyrics ...

that man deserves a belt. That ... was ... awesome!

And that's cool about Hatred. Just goes to show what a boost a good manager can have on someone's career. Hatred vs. Burchill ... gold. :D

Ahead of his titanic clash with "The New Franchise" this coming Friday, the man that ECW fans everywhere love to despise gets a warm-up bout against Masato Tanaka. Tanaka is, of course, a hardcore legend in his own right but can anyone stop the undefeated "Most Extreme Athlete"... even Paul Burchill?

After the bizzarre events earlier in the week, the war between two of the best tag teams in the industry continues. This time, Bubba and Dick team up to try and take out the champions in this non-title contest. Will RVD and HBK be able to co-exist let alone work to their usual high standards as a team? Will the nameless yet violent Dudley make another appearance? Find out on Blood, Sweat & Beers!

With a place in the title match at Anarchy Rulz up for grabs, Alexis Laree is unlikely to let Beulah off easy. This one could well be one-way traffic!

Vito Thomaselli and "The Soul Taker" renew their mutual respect, once more, as they step into the ring to face their respective nemeses. With two of ECW's biggest stars and two of our brightest prospects set to do battle, this one could go either way!



Paul Burchill vs. Brandon Thomasellil
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BrandonThomaselli2.jpg

Paul Burchill's life gets no easier as he is forced to face the third and final of the Thomaselli brothers. While this match may not pose too much of an issue in essence, two things should be considered. Firstly, that his relationship with both Vito and Kelly may well be on the brink, an alliance he may not be able to afford to lose at such a time. Secondly, with such a heavy schedule, even the "The New Franchise" may struggle to deal with Nate Hatred come Anarchy Rulz!

Gonna give the nod to the number 1 contender, but this match could go either way.

Paul Burchill vs. Brandon Thomasellil
And the new Franchise takes down one more Thomaselli.

[totti]

Nate Hatred vs. Masato Tanaka
I'm seriously thinking Hatred could be the one to end Burchill's career and although I like Tanaka he will be no match for him.

Owen Hart & Ultimo Dragon vs. Chris Jericho & AJ Styles
I see AJ retaining against Ultimo and maybe Jericho continuing to frustrate Owen at Anarchy Rulz.

The Whole F**kin' Show vs. The Caucasian Dudleyz
I think RVD and Michaels will get the win. They've had friction before so I'm hoping they can get over it again.

Qualification Match for "The Lioness' Den"
Alexis Laree vs. Beulah McGillicutty
Laree is the monster of the womens division.

Mark Calaway & Vito Thomasellil vs. Rhino & CM Punk
Rhino needs the win going into the title match.

Paul Burchill vs. Brandon Thomasellil
Another dominating performance from 'The New Franchise'.

[Nevermore]

Nate Hatred vs. Masato Tanaka
With the Sinister Minister by his side, Nate Hatred is unstoppable![/I]

Seemingly so :D.

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

Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.
Taz: Thanks for the intro, Joe. Man, have we got some great matches tonight? The tension in ECW is just about set to explode even ahead of Anarchy Rulz!
Joey: Absolutely, Taz. We're just under a week away and, with five titles on the line...
Taz: Six if you count both tag straps...
Joey: ...Anarchy Rulz is bound to be one hell of a show.
Taz: Man, I'm just itching to see some action... let's get to it!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg
Somewhat predictably, Tanaka is dominated.
Through both interference from The Sinister Minister and Nate Hatred's own sheer power, the result is in little doubt.
Hatred scores the victory after a Decapitator Lariat in the eleventh minute.
Match Rating: B

"The Soul Taker" is backstage for a shoor promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpg

He stares down at the camera that is positioned below his face.

Taker: I came to ECW, in part, to get away from the bullsh*t politics of The Federation but, more importantly, my pilgrimage to this unholy land was in order to prove what the wise have known all along... The Soul Taker is the toughest motherf**ker alive! Rhino, down in Texas, we have an old saying: "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, make sure to dig two graves". Well, after you cost me my rightful place as ECW Champion and damn near broke my neck, I swore a personal debt of revenge and, if two graves is what it takes, then you're coming straight to hell with me!

He removes his sunglasses.
His piercing eyes stare into the camera as the broadcast cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AJStylesTV.jpg
The match is a very even contest in which all four men see much offence.
Neither team necessarily looks stronger.
However, it is Owen Hart and Ultimo Dragon who score the fall after Chris Jericho falls prey to the Dradon DDT.
Match Rating: B

Big Sasuke Cool is backstage.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoSasuke.jpg

He walks into the locker room marked "sWo".
As he steps through the door, a pot of blue paint falls onto his head.
He quakes with rage, shaking the paint from his clothing.
He exits and walks down the corridoor towards the washroom.

He opens the door only to be met by a Stevie Kick.

The Dudleyz are, of course, accompanied by their relatives while The Whole F**kin' Show are cheered on by Traci.
The friction between the tag champs is evident, the mess from last week clearly not resolved, and RVD seems hesitant to tag in Michaels.
In the twelfth minute, Daizy and Traci engage in their obligatory catfight.

Joey: CAAAATFIIIIGHT! CAAAAAAAATFIIIIIIIIGHT!

D-Von goes to assist his niece, so, Michaels exits the ring to aid Traci.
Ultimo Dudley II sees Michaels coming and charges at him with his garbage can.
Michaels ducks and Traci is decked with the weapon.

Joey: My god! Traci just got knocked cold!
Taz: Can we get some help out here?

RVD jumps down off the apron to check on Traci as Michaels is bundled back in the ring by the Dudleyz.
As Michaels continues to battle Bubba Ray, RVD picks up Traci in his arms and carries her to the back.

Taz: Oh, man. Shawn's on his own!

Michaels battles on valiantly and begins to take the upper-hand.
D-Von and "Banzai" enter the ring to assist their family.
Super Kick to Ultimo Dudley...
...and one to D-Von!
However, Big Dick Jr picks up HBK in a Flapjack.
Bubba rebounds off the ropes...
3D!
1...2...3!
Match Rating: B

Joey: Damn it, the numbers proved too much for Shawn Michaels.
Taz: ...and something tells me Rob may be off his Christmas card list!

After the match, a 5-on-1 assault ensues.

That is until "That Other Dudley" runs to the ring with a confederate flag on a pole.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg

He slides into the ring and stars battering his family members with the flagpole.

Taz: Dude... is that a confederate flag?
Joey: Looks like it.
Taz: But he's black, for crying out loud!

The other Dudleyz decide to retreat rather than stay and fight.

Rhino is backstage for a shoot promo.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

Rhino: JUST SIX DAYS, RAVEN! Just six days until I cripple your ass and walk away as the new World Heavyweight Champion.

He thumps his chest.

Rhino: I'm unbeatable... you hear me? UN-F**KING-STOPPABLE! And, at Anarchy Rulz, The Gore is gonna crack your ribs and The Rhino Driver is gonna break your neck! It's my time... MY TIME!

He snarls and pulses with anger as the camera cuts back to ringside.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/AlexisLaree.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BeulahMcGillicutty.jpg
Alexis dominates the match, maintaining complete control thoughout.

Chris Hero walks to the ring as his new entrance video plays.

Hero: Yes, it is I, the single shining star capable of leading the way through these dark times; the saviour of ECW, Chris Hero!

He receives a somewhat less-than-positive response.

Hero: I am out here to draw attention to the fact that what happened on Monday night was a god damn disgrace! For two wannabes to assault a respected pioneer like my goodself... it's just plain disgusting!

Taz: Wannabes?! Does he mean Taker and Rhino?
Joey: Respected Pioneer?! He surely can't mean himself.

Hero: Now, I may just be feeling a little sensitive after getting driven through a table but I think I've been picking up on some negative energy around this place for a while.

Taz: Ya think?

Hero: I was thinking, as ECW's saviour, it's not just my job to inject some much-needed talent into the roster; I have also undertaken a responsibility to educate you people in the ways of wrestling so that you might benefit and better yourselves. So, without further ado, I entitle the following educational essay "One Thousand and Tenty Four Reasons That You Should Love Chris Hero".

Joey: What the hell?
Taz: Is he joking?!

Like Monday night, Hero removes a piece of paper from his pocket.

Hero: It was initially supposed to be one thousand reasons but I'm so good I couldn't cut it down anymore.

"Shut the f**k up!"
*Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap*

Hero: Number One: He is The Saviour of ECW!

Taz: Oh, dear god, tell me we don't have to sit through this!

Hero: Number Two: He has a more beautiful side-headlock at his disposal than anyone else in the industry!
Number Three: He has great hair!
Number Four: His beard is pretty awesome too!
Number Five: There's not even anyone else in the locker room worth cheering!
Number Six: He is worth cheering!

Joey: I don't think I can take this...
Taz: Maybe I'll take a coffee break. Can we do that?

Hero: Number Seven: He likes such great musical artists as Bonnie Tyler!
Number Eight: He has his own logo!
Number Nine: He discusses himself in the third person as all great men do!
Number Ten: He can actually count to ten which is more than can be said for most in attendance tonight!
Number Eleven: Even after being driven through a table, he still...

Jerry Lynn bursts through the curtain with a microphone.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

Lynn: SHUT... THE... F**K... UP!

Huge pop!

Lynn: I'm gonna make you aware of something, Chris, that you may not have noticed. ECW doesn't need saving and, for that, as well as one thousand and twenty four other reasons, none of us boys in the back nor any of these people in attendance tonight want you here!

Another huge pop.

Hero: ...and I'm gonna make you aware of something, "Jerry". I'm not alone in being disrespected. Jesus was a saviour before me and he was met with similarly foolish arrogance!

Lynn looks astounded.

Lynn: Dude, did you just compare yourself to Jesus?

Hero: Of course not... he was far less culturally important!

Lynn has clearly heard enough.
He sprints to the ring to apprehend Hero but the rookie decides to make a quick exit.

Joey: That'd be right, high-tail it before you have to back up your big mouth!
Taz: Let me tell ya something, Styles, this Hero is gonna talk himself into a lot of problems!

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Taker.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg
This is another even contest with all contestants looking strong.
However, it is the heels who pick up the win after Rhino connects with a Gore to Vito Thomaselli at 14:21
Match Rating: B

After the match, a brawl between the four men breaks out.
Security floods into the ring as the camera cuts to the back.

Becky Bayless is backstage with Anonymous Dudley.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Becky.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpg

Bayless: Welcome to Backstage With Becky. I'm Becky Bayless and it just so happens that I've located our mystery Dudley for an interview.

She turns and smiles at her guest.

Dudley: Yo, bitch, what'chyo lookin' at?

Bayless: Err... it's Becky... Becky Bay...

Dudley: Bitch, I don't care what'chyo god damn name is, dig?

Becky mockingly makes gang sign.

Becky: Yeah... dig, blood.

The four-eyed militant looks pissed with the parody.
Bayless moves on quickly.

Bayless: So, do you have a name?

Dudley: Damn f**kin' straight I have a f**kin' name!

Bayless frowns.

Bayless: ...and what is it, exactly?

Dudley: My name is Slyk Tayshaun Dudley but my brothas call me STD!

Bayless: Speaking of "brothers" you certainly seem to be having issues with your family. Would you care to explain them?

STD: I am the seventh son of my daddy, Big Dick Dudley, who I have not seen in some damn seven-summin' years. Before he left on his trek to god-knows-where, he told me that I must "find out the truth" from Uncle D-Von.

Bayless: Find out the truth? What does that mean?

STD: What it means, bitch...

Bayless: BECKY!

STD: What it means is that D-Von had some secret over my daddy. That's what made him leave and that's what I gots to find out.

Bayless: ...and you plan to do that by beating him sensless.

STD: No I'm beating the motha f**cka senseless for some god damn revenge for my daddy, bitch.

Bayless: BECKY!

STD: But I will find out D-Von's dirty secret don't yo sorry white ass worry 'bout that!

STD walks off looking angry as ever.

Bayless: I'm sure I won't lose any sleep.

The two men do not put on as good a match as expected.
Burchill clearly controls the contest comfortably.
He finishes Brandon with a C-4 in the twelfth minute.
Match Rating: B

As Burchill celebrates, Nate Hatred emerges from the crowd.
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/NateHatred.jpg

He slides into the ring as Burchill turns around...
DECAPITATOR LARIAT!

Joey: My god! Burchill nearly had his head taken off!

Shane Douglas goes to help but is immediately Clotheslined with similarly frightening force.

The show goes off air as ECW's Most Extreme Athlete stands above his prey.

Confirmed for Revolution:

International All Action Title Match
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Generic1.jpg
Eddie Guerrero vs. CM Punk(c)
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpg

Ahead of his pay-per-view match against Vito Thomaselli, CM Punk defends his International All Action Title in this preparation match. The man to challenge is none other than the returning Eddie Guerrero!



Slyk vs. Dick
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SlykDudley.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DickDudley.jpg

The newest militant member of the Dudley clan gets his first chance to prove a point in a sanctioned match. Will "STD" get closer to discovering Uncle D-Von's secret?



Chris Hero vs. Jerry Lynn
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisHero.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

These two men meet for the third time and, perhaps even moreso than their previous encounters, this one is all about respect! Will youth or experience triumph?



Qualification Match for "The Lioness' Den"
Kelly Thomaselli vs. Daizy Dudley
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KellyThomaselli.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DaizyDudley.jpg


In this qualification match for The Lioness' Den, Kelly Thomaselli faces the Lil' Latina Lolita, Daizy Dudley. With the final spot in the triangle match at Anarchy rulz up for grabs, neither woman will want to let this opportunity slip through her hands.



Rob Van Dam vs. Tommy Dreamer
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/RVDecwchamp.jpgvshttp://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l161/Game-Face/dreamertag.jpg

With tensions between the World Tag Team Champions apparently even higher than it was this time last week, The Whole F**kin' Show's chances in their title match at Anarchy Rulz are starting to look somewhat bleak. There is, however, this opportunity to gain some momentum as Mr Monday Night faces The Innovator of Violence in singles competition.



Rhino vs. Paul Burchill
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvshttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchillNF.jpg

In yet another master stroke from commissioner Raven, Rhino and Paul Burchill are set to do battle this week on Revolution.

With Burchill's career still on the line, he may not even make it to Anarchy Rulz; if he does, he will have to overcome an insanely difficult past schedule and find away to beat the undefeated Nate Hatred!

As for the Man Beast, he looks unstoppable but, if there is one thing capable of slowing him down ahead of his title shot on Friday, it's a one-on-one slugfest with "The New Franchise".

Rhino vs. Paul Burchill

[Astil]

Nevvy.

One favor.

Push. Chris. Hero. I want him to be World Champion by 3 PPVs.

[Tweek It]

Why you job Steve Corino out like that? That is unholy....TO JAZZ?! I know she is suppose to be dominated, but come on. At least throw somebody else other than Corino.

[Prophet]

Nevvy.

One favor.

Push. Chris. Hero. I want him to be World Champion by 3 PPVs.

Heck yeah! Chris Hero = genius! (I also have to admit, I darn near fell over hearing Slyk's nickname. lol) Now to the picks!


Eddie Guerrero vs. CM Punk
Punk's riding a hot hand into Anarchy Rulz, and I don't think Eddie will be able to stop his streak.

Slyk vs. Dick
STD gets his debut win, moving one step closer to D'Von and his revenge.

Chris Hero vs. Jerry Lynn
By the end of the night, Jerry Lynn will be a believer in the Savior of ECW.

Qualification Match for "The Lioness' Den"
Kelly Thomaselli vs. Daizy Dudley
Daizy completes the tag team trifecta by missing out on the Lioness' Den matchup.

Rob Van Dam vs. Tommy Dreamer
Shawn Michaels makes an appearance, and accidentally screws RVD out of the win. (Fuel that fire!)

Rhino vs. Paul Burchill
This is tough, but Burchill can't lose his job yet. Taker screws Rhino, gores all around.

[fordc76]

Loved the show again, the Chris Hero list segment made me think of the old Jericho one from WCW.

1. Armbar
2. Moss Covered Three Handled Family Credenza.
3. Armbar

Enjoyed the new Dudley as well, I'm sure STD will need some AIDS in defeating the other Dudleys.


Eddie Guerrero vs. CM Punk
At this moment in time, Guerrero isn't in a story so Punk wins, Punk wins, Punk wins (Damn that's more annoying reading it then it is to hear Lawler say it every week).


Slyk vs. Dick
STD is "itching" for a win with his finisher, the Boston Crabs.


Chris Hero vs. Jerry Lynn
Surprising pick BUT I think Hero will get DQed or walks out.


Qualification Match for "The Lioness' Den"
Kelly Thomaselli vs. Daizy Dudley
2 reasons for this pick. Firstly Kelly Thomaselli will probably be involved with Burchill or her brothers matches at PPV. Secondly Dirty Double D can wrestle better than her so makes more sense for her to be in the first ever women's title match.....but then I said that about why McCool wouldn't qualify for the Divas championship :-/


Rob Van Dam vs. Tommy Dreamer
DRAW!


Rhino vs. Paul Burchill
Roar, More Hardcore War, Out to the Floor, GOOORREE, Burchill Sore but out the backdoor.....Rhino another try for.....C4. The crowd adore!
(No idea why I did that prediction like that)

[keefmoon]

For God sake, Nevvy, Slyk vs Dick? STD? What are you, 8? :p

As already mentioned, Chris Hero is something else man. You simply HAVE to push him when he's that cool.

[Nevermore]

Nevvy.

One favor.

Push. Chris. Hero. I want him to be World Champion by 3 PPVs.

I canae promise that but I am slowly getting him up the card. I love the guy too... it's why I give him so much time every show but I can't give him the stra just yet I'm afraid.

Why you job Steve Corino out like that? That is unholy....TO JAZZ?! I know she is suppose to be dominated, but come on. At least throw somebody else other than Corino.

It's Corino. He's a legend and one of the things that makes him that legend is his willingness to put over other talent. I'm trying to turn Jazz into an anchor for the women's division. Meanwhile, Corino's overness is not moving anywhere anytime soon, his body is in shocking condition and he may not be too far off retirement. He seemed like a good one to roll with since he has great basics to teach too.

STD is "itching" for a win with his finisher, the Boston Crabs.

I love you...

For God sake, Nevvy, Slyk vs Dick? STD? What are you, 8? :p

As already mentioned, Chris Hero is something else man. You simply HAVE to push him when he's that cool.

Oh, what but Big Dick is acceptable?! :p

It's the Dudleyz... They, along with the sWo, form the much admired ECW comedy division.

As for Hero, yeah... I've been waiting to start using him regularly and now I'm waiting to give him a upper-midcard/main-event push.

I did give him a new video, though, which is one of my favourites I've ever done :D.
