Scenes are shown from the entire EHW United States championship tournament, leading up to tonight's final - George Williams versus Reddz for the gold. The scene fades with each man on an opposite side of the screen. Pyro explodes, and Fire is underway.
JR: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Fire! I'm Jim Ross, alongside Bobby "the Brain" Heenan, and we're coming to you LIVE from Montgomery, Alabama! A huge match for you tonight, including the United States title match and the beginning of the K-Bomb Marathon, but for right now, a career match!
Career Match
Mean Gene: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening match here on Fire, and it is a career match!
JR: Well, folks, none of these gentlemen showed up, so it looks like three more off the EHW roster!
The scene goes to the backstage area, as Reddz is at a vending machine getting a water bottle after he got done with his little workout before his match. Mike Destroyer walks down the hall past him and tries not to look in his direction. Reddz stands up and sees him, and immediately stops him by forcing his hand on his shoulder. Mike smacks his hand off his shoulder and pushes Reddz.
Mike Destroyer: Keep your f*ckin hands off me!
Reddz: Why so hostile?
Don't start Reddz. I'll end your title run before it even starts!
Mike, Just..
Mike doesn't let Reddz finish and tackles Reddz. Reddz falls hard as Mike begins to pummel away at Reddz's face. Reddz covers up and security guards rush in and grab the two men, seperating them. Mike is screaming at the top of his lungs, saying Reddz is gonna pay, as the scene goes back to the desk.
JR: You just knew that this thing with Reddz and Mike Destroyer was going to blow up sooner or later, and unfortunately for Reddz, tonight was the night! BH: You have to wonder if Mike is going to get involved later tonight! JR: It's a possibility, but we'll just have to wait until then. Well, folks, let's head right into our next contest!
Single Elimination Match
Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is a single elimination match, and the winner will be the last man to win a fall. Making his way to the ring first, competing in his second EHW match, MIKEY MAYHEM!! His opponent, from Ankeny, Iowa, X-FACTOR!! Next, hailing from San Antonio, Texas, ABYSS!! And finally, the man they call "The Future", ZAKK IRVINE!!
JR: Only Abyss shows up tonight, and he will be the one to get the victory! BH: I smell more career match participants . . .
An image of George Williams is shown, and the phrase "How He Got Here" scrolls across the screen. The first clip shows Williams standing in the ring, being awarded a countout victory over Sabotage. Then, the next clip is from last week's semi-finals.
JR: Train pulls Williams up, but Williams musters the strength to lift Train up and drop him with an inverted atomic drop, and one hell of a clothesline! Williams pulls Train up and sends him into the ropes, and a high back body drop from GGW! Train staggers to his feet, and Williams with a kick to the stomach, and a jumping piledriver! Train slumps off to the side and Williams makes the cover, 1........2........no, a kickout just barely from Night Train! Williams pulls Train up and backs him into the corner, and a shoulderblock from Williams. But wait, Train reverses, and delivers a set of his own! Train now props Williams up on the top rope, and now Train goes up as well, but Williams with a shot to the stomach. He grabs Train, and a leaping release belly-to-belly suplex from the top rope! Williams somehow drapes his arm over Night Train, 1.........2.........3!! George Williams moves on to the finals!
The scene shows an old file photo with George Williams holding the United States championship as we go back to the desk.
JR: Can George Williams rebound from the embarassment of being drafted to EHW2 and become a two-time United States champion? We'll find out later tonight, but right now, the man that put him in EHW, K-Bomb, starts his K-Bomb Marathon, NEXT!
K-Bomb vs. The Buzzsaw
Ladies and gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring first, the former President of the EHW2, K-BOMB!! And his opponent, making his return to the ring, THE BUZZSAW!!
JR: Look, K-Bomb wasn't going to be satisfied with a no show - he's dragging the Buzzsaw out here! Buzzsaw is beaten, and can hardly stand up, and K-Bomb stops him on the ramp, and delivers a Ground Zero! K-Bomb laughs at the Buzzsaw and pulls him up again, and now he throws him into the ring. BH: K-Bomb is relentless! JR: K-Bomb pulls Buzzsaw up again, and delivers another Ground Zero, this one in the center of the ring! K-Bomb starts to go for a cover, but after two, he pulls Buzzsaw up! K-Bomb pulls Buzzsaw up again and slaps him across the face, and now a third - a THIRD - Ground Zero! K-Bomb finally makes a cover, 1.......2.......3! BH: Wow, I guess K-Bomb was really trying to send Killer Dragon - and the rest of EHW - a message.
Sea of Crimson Match
JR: And Killer Dragon wastes no time in charging down to the ring, trying to catch K-Bomb off guard right as the referee rings the bell from the end of the last match, but K-Bomb sees him coming and plants him with one hell of a side kick! Dragon is down, and K-Bomb drops down and starts to pound away at the forehead of Dragon. K-Bomb pulls Dragon to his feet and sends him into the ropes, and he plants him with one hell of a powerslam on the way back! K-Bomb with a few more stuff right shots, and now he slides out of the ring and picks up a steel chair. K-Bomb slides back into the ring, but Killer Dragon is up to his feet, and a spinning heel kick out of nowhere, sending that chair into K-Bomb's face! K-Bomb crashes down to the mat hard, and Killer Dragon stands up, and looks at that chair, and now he pulls it up, and now slamming it against the mat. K-Bomb stands up, still holding his forehead, and Dragon swings, but K-Bomb ducks, and hits Dragon with a low blow! Dragon drops the chair and K-Bomb picks it up, and he cracks Killer Dragon right across the back with it! Dragon drops to the mat, but he doesn't stay there for long, as K-Bomb pulls him up and scoops him up. K-Bomb charges towards the corner, and he drops Killer Dragon across the turnbuckles with a snake eyes. Dragon staggers out, and K-Bomb plants him with a spinebuster! K-Bomb goes to the middle of the ring and sets that chair in a sitting position, and he goes back over to pull Dragon up, but Killer Dragon falls backwards and yanks K-Bomb through the ropes and down to the arena floor! Dragon rolls all the way to the other side of the ring and slides out, and he's under the apron, looking for something. BH: He pulled out that sledgehammer he's been flaunting around all week! JR: Dragon slides back into the ring with that sledgehammer, just as K-Bomb is getting back into the ring, and Dragon charges, but K-Bomb slides out of the way and a drop toe hold that sends Dragon flying into the seat of that steel chair with a very high velocity! Dragon is flopping around the mat in pain, and K-Bomb just has a very smug look on his face, and I think he's ready to put this match away. K-Bomb pulls Killer Dragon up and sends him into the ropes. Dragon comes back, and K-Bomb with a kick to the gut, and he's getting him ready for the Ground Zero! No, Dragon somehow finds the strength to back body drop K-Bomb, and he goes right for that sledgehammer. Dragon waits for K-Bomb to get up, and he nails him square in the forehead with that sledgehammer, and K-Bomb flails to the mat! Killer Dragon pulls K-Bomb up, and he's taking him over to the turnbuckle. Dragon props K-Bomb onto the top rope, and he follows him up, and it looks like he's going for the Meet Thy Maker, but K-Bomb blocks, and he hits Dragon with an elbow to the gut, and now he grabs him, and chokeslams him off the top rope and down into the ring! Dragon is not moving, and K-Bomb lays that chair down in the middle of the ring. K-Bomb pulls Dragon up, and there's a Ground Zero onto the chair! K-Bomb rolls Dragon over, and the referee sees a trickle of blood, and he calls for the bell! K-Bomb has won this match! BH: But K-Bomb just yelled "he's not bleeding enough" - I don't think he's done yet! JR: Dragon is staggering to his feet, using the ropes to help him, and K-Bomb has grabbed Dragon's sledgehammer. Dragon turns around, and K-Bomb with a direct shot into the forehead, and Dragon is down and out, and blood just begins to pour from his forehead! K-Bomb tosses the hammer down, and he has proven that he is ready to go in this K-Bomb marathon, leaving Killer Dragon a beaten, bloodied mess!
An image of Reddz is shown, and the same "How He Got Here" image from earlier scrolls across the screen. The first clip is from the first round thriller between Reddz and K-Bomb.
JR: K-Bomb hoists Reddz up for that suplex, but Desire grabs onto the legs of K-Bomb, and Reddz falls on top of K-Bomb in a pinning predicament! 1.........2......no! A kickout from K-Bomb, but he quickly gets to his feet and is leaning over the ropes, screaming at Desire. Desire holds the World title up in the air, but suddenly reaches out and clocks K-Bomb with it! BH: And the ref didn't see it, because Reddz was holding him, claiming he had something in his eye. Reddz shoves the ref aside, and as K-Bomb staggers back from the title shot, he connects on the Redd Slam!! Reddz rolls K-Bomb up for the cover, 1.........2.........3!! Reddz advances!
The scene then goes into the clip from last week's semi-final.
JR: Both men get to their feet, and Messiah charges with a clothesline, but Reddz ducks, and hits the Redd Slam! A cover, 1........2........3!! Reddz advances! Reddz advances!
A shot of Reddz hoisting a championship belt, presumably the European title he once held, high into the air as the scene goes back to the desk.
JR: Can Reddz win his second career EHW title? It's time to stop guessing, and find out - the main event is up next!
Main Event
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Fire main event! This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the EHW United States championship! Making his way to the ring first, a member of the Impact Players, "GORGEOUS" GEORGE WILLIAMS!! And his opponent, the leader of the Wicked Minds, REDDZ!!
JR: And here we go, folks - huge main event here on Fire! George Williams and Reddz meet in the center of the ring, and a staredown ensues. The two men, highly intent on winning this match and becoming the new United States champion. Reddz now raises his arm up in the air, and I think he's challenging Williams to a test of strength. Williams backs up a few steps and looks around, and now he responds by locking hands with Reddz. Each man brings the second arm up, and Williams starts to get control, yanking Reddz's arms down to his side, dropping Reddz to his knees. But Reddz lunges forward and hits Williams with a headbutt to the stomach, and now he takes him down with a fireman's carry. Reddz rolls over and hooks in an armbar, and brings Williams to his feet while keeping that hold locked in tight. Reddz with a hard back chop to the chest of George Williams, and now he yanks straight down on that arm. BH: He could pull that thing out of its socket! JR: He could, and he does it one more time, and now he elbows the elbow of Williams, and a look of pain shoots across the face of George Williams. Reddz now sends Williams into the ropes, but George ducks a clothesline and takes Reddz down with a cross body, and he holds onto the legs for a pin, 1........2...no, Reddz escapes. Both men get to their feet at the same time, but Williams catches Reddz off guard with a knee to the gut, and he drops him with a Russian leg sweep. Williams backs off, but then comes towards Reddz and drops a knee right to the forehead of the Wicked Minds leader. Williams grabs Reddz and starts pounding away at his forehead, maybe trying to reopen the wound made by K-Bomb a few weeks ago. Williams yanks Reddz up to his feet, and he backs him into the corner, and a monkey flip from George Williams! Reddz staggers to his feet, only to be dropkicked over the top rope by Williams! Reddz tumbles right out here in front of us, but that isn't going to stop Williams from following him out. George slides under the bottom rope, and as Reddz is getting up, Williams slams his face right against the announce table! Reddz bounces off, and Williams with a kick to the gut. He goes for a suplex, but Reddz blocks it, and instead hits Williams with a suplex onto the arena floor! Wait, Reddz holds on, and pulls Williams back to his feet, and lifts him for another suplex, and - no! He drops him with a brainbuster! Williams is holding his head in pain, and Reddz rolls him back into the ring. Reddz slides into the ring and makes the cover, 1.......2.....no, a kickout by Williams. Reddz pulls Williams up, and delivers a stiff forearm shot right to the mouth. Williams is dazed, and Reddz with an inverted atomic drop, followed by a release belly to belly suplex! George is in trouble, and Reddz makes his way to the top rope, and he leaps with a splash, but Williams gets the knees up into the gut of Reddz! Reddz is holding his stomach in pain, and Williams gets to his feet, and as Reddz gets up, Williams charges and rolls into a school boy, 1........2......no, Reddz just kicks out! Williams pulls Reddz up to his feet and backs him into the corner, and delivers a few European uppercuts, and now props him up on the top rope. Williams climbs up to the top as well, and hooks Reddz around the head, and looks back towards the ring, but then looks to the outside. Oh no. Williams changes his direction, and suplexes Reddz to the outside of the ring, and both men come crashing through our announce table!! Our table has just been absolutely destroyed, and I would have to think that the bodies of George Williams and Reddz are as well! The referee doesn't know what to do - he should be making a count, but he doesn't want this tournament to end in a draw! The ref slides to the outside of the ring and is checking on these two men, and he has determined that this match can go on. Wait, look who's coming down to the ring - it's Night Train! BH: He's been saying all along how he feels he should be the next United States champion - I guess he wants to be involved in this match in any way possible. JR: Night Train comes down and tells the ref he'll help get these two back into the ring, and the ref nods, knowing he doesn't have the strength to get these two back in the ring. Train grabs Reddz and scoops him up, shaking his head in disgust at him, and he tosses Reddz into the ring through the ropes. The referee goes to check on Reddz as Train picks up Williams, but Train takes him down with one hell of a clothesline! BH: What the hell?! JR: Train picks up Williams and rolls him back into the ring, but that clothesline gave Reddz enough time to somewhat regain his senses. Reddz is finally up, and he staggers over to Williams and pulls George to his feet. Reddz puts his head under Williams' arm, and he finds the energy to deliver a Redd Slam! Reddz rolls over and makes the cover, 1.........2..........3!!! Reddz has done it! Reddz is the new United States champion! Night Train slides into the ring, and he's helping Reddz up to his feet, and he presents Reddz with the United States title! What a match ladies and gentlemen, and now Reddz is celebrating with, who I'm presuming, is the newest member of the Wicked Minds, Night Train! Wait, looks who is making his way down to the ring now - it's Mike Destroyer! Mike is yelling at Reddz, saying that Mike is going to be the next EHW triple crown champion, no matter who he has to go through! Destroyer slides in the ring, and gets face to face with Reddz. Lots of talk going back and forth, and now . . . Mike and Reddz hug?! BH: Destroyer has given in - he's a Wicked Mind! JR: These three are celebrating in the ring, and the Wicked Minds have gotten stronger, adding two members and the United States title to their leader. Folks, we're all out of time - for Bobby Heenan and all of EHW, I'm Jim Ross - we'll see you on Thrashing!
