JR: Here we are, at the annual EHW Award Show! BH: It should be a big night, as we've got trophies, titles, and TKOs in store for you. JR: Since our opening match is scheduled to take place between the three wrestlers in line for the Most Potential To Win A Title, we've decided that would be the best award to present first, and follow it up immediately with the Hardcore title match! Wait a second, what is this?

The lights of the arena dim a bit and flash silver and red as the opening baseline and chorus of "G'D Up" by G-Unit blasts through the speakers. The Chicago fans immediately erupt as their hometown favorite Marq Ell saunters through the curtains and down the ramp. He slides into the ring with a microphone and soaks up the applause.

Ell: Chi-Town, STAND UP!!

The fans erupt at the midwest greeting.

Ell: I'll make this quick and simple. CHRISTIAN KING...you have the week off, but I know you're within the sound of my voice, so listen closely! I truly hope you've enjoyed your reign as United States Champion. But now it's time for that belt to return to its RIGHTFUL owner. So this is the official challenge to you...Christian King vs. Marq Ell part 2. United States Championship on the line. I don't care what kinda stipulations are involved, I don't care what arena it's in. But you WILL give me my rematch. You have one week from tonight to respond, or I'll come lookin' for you myself. And please believe me when I tell you, that's the LAST thing you want.

Now that that's outta the way...it seems as if the shadows of my past have caught up to me, and two more of Chicago's sons have made their way back to EHW. Tre Camp and Pretty Thug Smoke...

Marq leans against a turnbuckle, clearly relaxed. He shakes his head and glares directly into the camera.

Tre, get off my jock, and quit kissin' my ass. I got enough hoes down there, so I don't need you. I thought I left you for dead, but apparently not. You've decided to make yet ANOTHER comeback, and people are supposed to care? Seriously? I've kicked, beaten, punched, stomped and slapped your silly ass all over these fifty states right here in this very ring, so I for one could care less about you or your less than triumphant return. It's like a bad rerun. You do this crap every so often...you come back for a week, then leave for years, then come back and throw a hissy fit because folks don't know you or care to remember you. Then you kiss my ass, tell everyone how good I've gotten and that you used to mentor me. Then you get jealous, challenge me, and I slap you around for a bit and pin you. So...why even submit yourself to that again? Here's a better question: why should I even care? Why should I involve myself with the crap that you and Pretty Thug Smoke have brought to EHW? Don't you know that I've evolved WAY beyond anything you could ever hope to be? I have money, I have fame, and most importantly, I have the TALENT. You? All you got left is the distant memories of AWF...and these dumbass Chicago fans.

The cheers turn to boos, prompting Marq's grin to widen.

Ell: Oh come on! I'm a bad guy! You knew it was coming!! Ha...anyway...Tre, my advice to you would be to keep your memories and stay out of my way. Everyone here knows the deal when it comes to you and me. So please, for the sake of my sanity, let's not go through this again. It gets really tiring having to beat that ass every other year. Really, it does. So you stay where you are, and do you. Leave me out of it. Oh, and as far as you go, PTS? You get the same gracious warning. You don't wanna see me, so I suggest you keep my name out of your mouth as well. You aren't exempt. This isn't AWF, and I'm not the same young upstart that I once was. Please, don't make me have to expose you for the true b*tch that you are. It really will be a waste of my time. You've been warned.

Marq winks, then drops the microphone and slides out of the ring.

JR: Now that wasn't on the line-up for tonight. BH: Well, Marq had something to say. He's not a guy to sit in the back and wait to say. JR: I can't argue with his methods. But now, let's get this award show underway! On the stage is San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.

Rivers: My career in the NFL is as young as these men's careers in EHW. We have all won matches, but we're all yet to win any titles. But the winner of EHW's Most Potential To Win a Title is...

Enmascarado with 78% of the votes!

Hardcore Title Match
Pytor Dice vs. Skin vs. Enmascarado

Larry Mowrey: Our first contest will be fought under elimination rules with all weapons legal, and it is for the EHW Hardcore Championship. Making his way first to the ring, Pytor Dice! And his opponent, Skin! Their opponent, Enmascarado!

JR: We have learned that Skin has resigned from EHW effective immediately, so this will be a one on one match to determine the new Hardcore Champion. BH: Damn, what a loss. I bet he didn't get a single vote. JR: Well the ring has was littered with weapons around it before the match started, but Enmascarado brought a shopping cart full of weapons with him to the ring. In it, he appears to have a cookie sheet, a Singapore cane, a computer keyboard, and a stop sign, amongst other things. BH: This will definitely be an interesting match-up. JR: Enmascarado starts this one off in hardcore fashion, swinging the Singapore cane at Dice. Dice backs up, but Enmas keeps swinging. Dice slides out of the ring to get away from the cane swinging madman, and Dice goes to get a chair. While Dice is busy, Enmascarado springboards over the top rope onto Dice! BH: Ouch, that's over 250 lbs. toppling down onto Dice! JR: Dice is a big man himself, but Enmascarado appears to be pulling out all the stops early in this match. BH: Enmascarado proved last week that he can hang with Mike Destroyer, but Pytor Dice managed to hang with Vic Vegas. Both these men got a taste of the top, and they want more. JR: Enmas picks up the Stop sign, and slams Dice right across the head the second Dice got to his feet. Enmas helps Dice up, and swings that Stop sign again, but Pytor Dice ducks it. Enmas swings again, but Dice with another dodge. Dice pulls the stop sign from Enmascarado, and hits him across the skull with it, knocking Enmas down to a knee. Dice then holds the sign in front of Enmascarado's face and nails the sign, and Enmas's face, with a stiff kick! BH: Ouch, I imagine Enmascarado's nose might be bleeding after that dangerous shot. JR: Dice stomps Enmascarado into the ground, and hits him while he's down with that stomp sign, which now has a dent in the middle of it. Enmascarado starts to make it to his feet, but Pytor Dice just bends the sign over his head and Enmas is halted. BH: Dice looks like he wants more weapons. He want to just brutalize Enmascarado. JR: Enmas tries to make it up to his feet again, but Dice smashes the side of his head in with the keyboard. BH: And the keys go flying into the crowd! JR: Enmas is trying to shake off all the pain, he's still trying to get to his feet. Dice grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Dice, now looking for something under the ring, possibly a table, isn't paying attention to Enmascarado getting back to his feet. BH: Enmas looks fired up. JR: Enmascarado with a baseball slide to the outside, knocking Pytor Dice against the barricade. Enmas goes on the assault with a series of left and right hands. Enmascarado with a huge elbow right to Dice's face knocks the big man on his ass, and it appears to have busted him open above the eye. Enmascarado helps Dice back up, and holds him up as he starts throwing elbows into his face. BH: Enmascarado already took a lot of damage, how long can he keep this high octane offense up? JR: Enmascarado goes for a discuss lariat, but Pytor Dice ducks it. Dice grabs Enmas from behind, and nails a huge backdrop driver onto the barricade! BH: He just dropped Enmascarado onto his head on top of that barricade. Enmas might not be able to move! JR: He goes for the pin. 1...2...kickout!!! BH: Holy hell, how'd he manage that one? JR: Enmascarado is showing a lot of fighting spirit, and Dice appears to be hurting from those elbows, but still solidly in control. Dice whipes blood out of his face and helps Enmascarado to his feet. BH: Enmas can barely stand, but he's still trying to throw punches back. JR: Dice sets Enmascarado up for his Whiplash F5...and he nails it onto the Stop sign! 1...2...NO! KICKOUT AGAIN! BH: What can put Enmascarado down for the count? JR: Dice doesn't seem to think anything, because he's mounting Enmascarado and laying those elbows into his face, just like how he defeated Skin last week! Dice throwing elbows to Enmas's face, and Enmascarado doesn't appear to be able to defend himself anymore. The ref pulls Pytor Dice off of him and calls for the bell, we have a new champion! BH: Enmascarado wouldn't let himself stay down for the 3 count, but Pytor Dice was smart enough to just knock him out. JR: A hard fought match by both, and I'm sure this won't be the last time we see these two together in the same ring.

Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion: Pytor Dice via knockout

JR: Dice is holding that title high above his head in the middle of the ring. BH: Luckily, the refs have been able to get Enmascarado awake again, and back up to his feet. He looks confused, and looks angry when the refs tell him that he lost! JR: Enmascarado picks up the Singapore cane and slides into the ring after Pytor Dice with it. Dice is too injured to notice, and Enmascarado just breaks the cane across Dice's skull! BH: Enmascarado doesn't seem to be feeling pain right now, as he's standing tall over the fallen body of our new champion.

Security escorts Enmascarado out of the ring to prevent further damage to Pytor Dice, as the EMTs tend to the fallen champion. The cameras switch to AmerikanSyko II, who is on the stage for the next group of awards. With him is Michael Jordan, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.

AmerikanSyko II: I'd like to make this part fast and easy. EHW fans, thank you for sticking with us throughout this hectic year. There have been a lot of shake-ups, there have been some bad times, but we keep pulling through and here we are. But tonight, for once it's not about the fans. Tonight we celebrate the men that have worked their hardest to made EHW great. And with that, I'd like to present myself with Owner of the Year Award. But up next, welcome Michael Jordan to present the Worst Staff Member and Comeback of the Year awards!

MJ: You didn't tell me I was presenting Worst Staff Member.

Syko II: I figured you've done both of these things, and this way I only got to pay one person to show up. Now read the damn winners.

MJ: First, I'd like to say that there have been worst staff members than me. Sure, I ruined the Wizards, but what about Isiah Thomas? C'mon, he's been the worst general manager ever! Oh well. The Worst Staff Member in EHW is...

...Shawn Morales, getting a whopping 78% of his votes! Morales is giving Isiah a run for his money.

Now I definitely know something about comebacks, as I've had too many of them to remember. My best was remembered by all my fans, just like all of the fans will remember these comebacks. The co-winners are...

Roxy and Assasin with 44% of the votes each!

Syko II: Congratulations to Roxy and Assasin, and up yours to Shawn Morales. Up next to present Biggest Shocker of the Year is Peyton Manning, who shocked the world last year by not choking in the Super Bowl.

The camera zooms in on Tom Brady laughing.

Manning: Well, I wouldn't call what I did a shocker, but I would certainly say that the winner of this award definitely shocked the wrestling world. The winners are...

the retirement of Jack O'Riley and "An Interested Party" turning out to be Assasin, both getting 33% of the votes.

Syko II: Stay where you are, Peyton, because you're co-presenter of the next award, along with Tom Brady. The award? Best Rivalry, of course.

Brady: And what a rivalry we have. But I would say that the winner of this award has a much more even rivalry than myself and Peyton do, since I completely own Peyton most of the time. He should be presenting biggest upset, too, because he actually managed to beat me. Regardless, the winner is...

Mike Destroyer vs. Vic Vegas with 44% of the votes! And I know we still haven't seen the end of that one.

Manning: Just like you and me, Tom.

Brady: That's Mr. Brady.

Manning: Sorry Mr. Brady.

JR: That's 5 awards down, and congratulations to everyone, except Shawn Morales, who has won an award.

No DQ Falls Count Anywhere
Roxy and Marq Ell vs. Mike Destroyer and AJ

Larry Mowrey:Our next contest is a No Disqualification, Falls Count Anywhere, Tag Team match! Coming first to the ring, they are members of The Revolution, Marq Ell and Roxy! And their opponents, representing The Institution, Mike Destroyer and AJ!

JR: The weapons are still scattered across the ring from out previous match, and how happy these competitors seem to be about it. BH: I have a feeling this match will be even more violent than the last one. JR: Last match was two men trying to win a title. This match is 2 stables trying to kill each other. The bell rings and all 4 collide in the middle of the ring. Destroyer goes right after Marq Ell and forces him into the corner. BH: Remember, anything is legal, there are no rope breaks. JR: Roxy tries to pull Destroyer off, but AJ comes up behind her with a release German suplex. Destroyer keeps laying into Marq in the corner, and AJ goes after Roxy. Roxy lifts Roxy to her feet, and just throws her over the top rope to the floor. BH: The Institution is just wrecking hell to start here tonight. JR: Destroyer with a snapmare to get Ell out of the corner, followed by a rocket shot kick to the back of Marq Ell. Destroyer is doing just what he said, he's trying to shut Ell up for good. On the outside, Roxy and AJ are trading blows, but AJ has a clear strength advantage. BH: Let's not forget, AJ is a former Hardcore champ and he knows how to use this hardcore environment. JR: AJ whips Roxy into the barricade, but Roxy just jumps straight over it into the crowd. AJ goes to follow, but Roxy with a flying back heel kick over the barricade takes the former IC champion down. BH: Damn she's fine...I mean, she's such a fine wrestler. JR: We know what you mean. Roxy picks up a cookie sheet from the Hardcore title match, and just slams it down across the skull of AJ. AJ keeps getting to his feet, trying not to stay down from that, but Roxy swings hard and puts AJ on his back again. BH: AJ won't be staying down for long, that's for sure. JR: Back in the ring, Mike Destroyer is still holding control of Marq Ell. Destroyer whips Ell into the corner, and charges at him with a big body splash. Destroyer picks Ell up and goes to whip him again, but Ell wisely slides out of the ring to try and regain himself. He goes over to help Roxy stomp AJ, who's just helpless in the 2-on-1 situation. BH: Those two better watch out, Mike Destroyer is coming to get them. JR: Destroyer slides out of the ring, and Roxy cuts him off with the cookie sheet before he can do any damage. She hits him across the skull, but he won't go down. She hits him again, but Destroyer stays on his feet. She whacks him right between the eyes and he staggers back, but Mike Destroyer just won't go down. Marq Ell takes the cookie sheet and winds up, but instead Roxy just chop blocks Mike D's legs from behind, finally bringing him to the ground. Marq Ell just throws a hard shot to the back of Destroyer's head while he's down, busting him wide open! BH: Ell still looks incredibly hurt from Mike Destroyer's earlier attacks. Destroyer was just manhandling Ell early in the match. Destroyer might be the best wrestler in this match, but Roxy and Ell are definitely more together as a team. JR: AJ is trying to pull himself to his feet using the apron, but Roxy is quick to attack him. Roxy starts laying forearms into AJ's face, trying to bust that nose open. BH: Don't forget that his nose was broken in his title match with Sabre Mengsk. JR: Roxy's definitely trying to take advantage of that, especially since she appears to be the least injured person in this match. BH: She seems to have been playing this match the smartest, keeping a level head. Ell and Destroyer want to kill each other, and AJ is fighting like he has something to prove. Roxy, well, she's just cool and collected, playing each move as it comes. JR: Roxy goes slam AJ's head into the ring post, but AJ reverses... BH: ...with a kick in the womb! JR: With a midsection mule kick. AJ with a club to Roxy's back, putting her down to one knee. AJ lifts her up from there, and gets Roxy on his shoulders, and powerbombs her into the ring post! BH: Holy hell! JR: AJ looks too hurt to make the cover quickly. He's been bleeding since a few minutes into this match, and that'll start to wear you out quickly. He finally makes it over for the pin. 1...2..kickout by Roxy. Marq Ell comes up behind AJ and locks in a full nelson, and he hits a Dragon suplex to the floor! He goes for the pin. 1...2..Destroyer breaks it up. Mike's head is bleeding a lot now, too. BH: He seems like he was down for longer than usual. It might be the amount of blood those cookie sheet attacks caused, but Destroyer just looks very dazed. JR: Destroyer and Ell stand up and stare each other down. BH: This is intense. JR: And like neither one was hurt, they start throwing fists left and right, going at it like two dogs at Michael Vick's house. Marq Ell takes advantage, as each time he hits Destroyer a trail of blood goes flying. Ell grabs Mike, and rolls him into the ring. Ell goes over to Roxy and helps her up, and tries to refocus her, but she can barely stand after her back was decimated by that powerbomb into the ring post. Roxy slides in one side of the ring, Marq Ell in the opposite. BH: Smart move, Destroyer looks like he can barely focus on one person, let alone two. JR: The Revolution circles around the Hall of Famer. BH: I don't think they see AJ pulling himself into the ring behind Marq Ell. JR: Roxy dives in at Mike's knees, Marq Ell comes across the top with a charging jumping lariat! BH: Mike just got nailed with a Hight/Low! Ell with the pin. 1...2..but AJ gets in there for the save! AJ brings Marq Ell to his feet, but Roxy dropkicks AJ right in the side of the knee. Ell boots AJ down to the mat, and he goes for it...yes, he applies the Chi-Town Lock right in Chi-Town! JR: Is AJ going to tap? Is AJ going to tap? BH: Look at Roxy, that cunning bitch is tying Mike D's shoelaces to the ropes! JR: AJ taps! AJ taps! The Revolution has won this brutal contest!

Winners: The Revolution via submission

JR: Wait one second, Christian King just jumped the barrier and into the ring! Marq Ell doesn't seem him, and Christian King just crushes Ell's head between the two belts! Marq Ell goes down quickly, he looks concussed! BH: And look at him stare at Roxy...what is with King and Roxy? JR: I don't know, but the Eurocontinental Champ is asking for a microphone.

King: You've told me all week, Marq, you want a rematch. You want to take this United States Title back home with you. The problem is, you'd have to take it from me. Seein' as you're unconcious at the moment... It really doesn't look like a good prospect for you. But if you're dead set on another beating... Next week, I'll give you a shot at being the first to defeat me. If you can do that? Then you're worthy of a title shot, then and ONLY THEN will I allow it. So until then...

Christian King stomps on Marq Ell's head one more time before exiting the ring and going back up the entrance ramp. The EMTs make their way to the ring again, checking on all 4 competitors. The cameras cut back to the elaborate stage where AmerikanSyko II is standing with Roger Clemens, Daisuke Matsuzaku, Pacman Jones, and K-Fed.

Syko II: You know, tonight was supposed to be a night of celebration. But Christian King, you ruined one man's victory. You want to face Marq Ell next week? It's signed. But you don't make the rules, I do, and next week, it'll be a United States title match. Since you like fighting dirty, and Marq Ell likes fighting hard, I'm going to make it a Street Fight! Now, if we can get on with this show without any more interuptions, I welcome Roger Clemens to present the awards for Best Nickname, and Person You'd Most Like to See Return.

Clemens: Well, like Jordan, I wasn't told I'd be presenting two awards. Unlike Jordan, people actually wanted to see me come back. But the people that EHW would like back the most would be...

Logan Filth, and DarkFunker/Tyler Fisher, recieving 33% of the votes!

I don't have a segway into this next award, but I do have an unoriginal nickname. They call me The Rocket. You know, because I throw hard. Well, this nickname is much more creative than mine, and was voted Best Nickname in EHW...

"The Man That Gravity Forgot" Sabre Mengsk, receiving 56% of the votes!

Matsuzaka: ???? (Japanese)

The arena seems utterly confused.

Matsuzaka: Newcomer Christiiiiiiiian Kiiiiiiing! Two third votes!

JR: I think that Christian King just won Newcomer of the Year. BH: I thought only the wrestling announcers in Japan took 10 minutes to say names. I guess it's everyone. JR: I hate to see how long attendance takes at school.

Pacman: I don't know why I'm not presenting Best Nickname. It's just one of the many things that is perfect about me. But I know all about how having a good group of people around you is vital, especially a good group of people that don't carry guns all the time. So the award for best Duo or Collective Team goes to...

Vic Vegas and Johnny Blaze, with 56% of the votes!

K-Fed: Word dawgs, thanks for paying me. No one else has in months, yo. Now my nizzles, if y'all want to see some Popozao, lemme hear y'all!

The crowd remains silent.

K-Fed: I'm used to it. But here I am, America's Most Hated, on the big scale in EHW to present the award for Biggest Upset of the Year. I figure I outta know, since I'm undefeated in my pro wrestlin' career, y'all. I got the biggest upset in history. Except people actually cared about this upset. The winner is...

Sabre Mengsk defeats AJ for the Intercontinental Championship, dawg. He got 44 something of the vote, I don't know what that damn symbol means.

Syko II: I actually ran out of ideas for people to present awards. So I'll be giving out the Storyline and Match of the Year now, and the Wrestler of the Year after our main event. I'm not much in terms of introductions, but I do know that this storyline brought in lots of ratings. The winner is...

Vic Vegas and his pursuit of the EHW World Heavyweight Champion with 33% of the votes!

And the match of the year was a brutal, hellacious, intense match that everyone will remember for years to come. It was...

Mike Destroyer vs. Vic Vegas inside a Barbed Wire Steel Cage for the World Heavyweight Championship at Champions' Brawl! It won with 56% of the votes!

And up now, is a match that has been brewing since that match of the year. It's Assasin vs. Vic Vegas!

Main Event
Normal Match
Vic Vegas vs. Assasin

Larry Mowry: Our next bout, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, EHW Hall of Famer, representing The Institution, "EHW's Resident Icon" Assasin! And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Johnny Blaze and representing The Revolution, he is 1/2 of the tag team champions and the EHW World Heavyweight Champion, Vic Vegas

JR: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to see a match which you will never forget. These are two of the heaviest hitters I have ever witnessed. BH: This could potentially be a Match of the Year candidate for next year. JR: The bell rings and the two men circle up. Vegas has to look up to stare into the eyes of Assasin, but neither man stops stairing. They approach each other in the middle of the ring and stand toe-to-toe. Neither man showing an ounce of fear in their eyes. BH: This could get ugly, and it could happen fast. JR: Vic Vegas pushes Assasin backwards. Assasin stumbles a bit, but he never stops staring directly into the eyes of Vic Vegas. Assasin walks back up to Vegas and smirks. BH: Assasin is trying to get into Vic's head. I don't see it working, but it can't hurt to try. JR: Vegas smirks back. The two men back off a step from each other and circle up a bit more. BH: These two men know that they can't scare the other one, so they better be ready to out wrestle them. JR: The two men lock up in the center of the ring. They both fight hard, pushing on one another, trying to gain the strength advantage. BH: No one is getting any sort of an advantage here. None at all. JR: Vegas breaks the lock up and just lays a hard chop into Assasin's chest. He follows it up with another, and another. BH: Those look like they cause Assasin off guard a little. JR: Assasin backs up to try and avoid the chops, but Vegas looks determined to turn Assasin's chest purple. Assasin throws a forearm back, right into the face of Vic, and Assasin hits another. Vegas with a chop. Assasin with a forearm. Vegas with a chop. Assasin with a forearm. Vegas goes for the chop, but instead just bitch slaps Assasin! BH: I don't know if that's ever a good idea, but I think Vegas knows what he's doing. Let's just see if he can do it. JR: Assasin throws a hard elbow, but Vegas ducks. Vegas goes for a half nelson crossface on Assasin, but Assasin throws the elbow back and smashes Vegas. Vic backs off and Assasin just smirks once again. BH: Vegas was going to try something big early on in the match, perhaps a backdrop driver or half nelson suplex. JR: Both fierce competitors circle up again, then lock up. Vegas with the hammerlock, then he wraps his other arm around Assasin's neck. Assasin throws an elbow back, but doesn't connect. BH: Assasin doesn't want to get caught in any submission moves early. JR: Vegas grabs Assasin and pulls him down into a side headlock. Assasin tries pushing Vegas forward off the ropes, but Vegas just holds on tighter, squeezing away at Assasin's oxygen supply. BH: Smart thinking by the champ. JR: Assasin tries again to shove Vegas off of him, this time shouldering him off more than straight pushing him. Assasin pulls his head out, but Vegas is smiling. BH: A smiling Vegas is never good for his opponent. JR: The two men face off in the center of the ring again, and Assasin just starts clubbing at Vic Vegas with a series of forearms. Assasin grabs Vegas and Irish whips him into the corner. Assasin charges in the corner and hits a big shoulderblock to the chest of Vegas. BH: Vegas is trying to wear down Assasin, whereas Assasin is just trying to beat up Vegas. JR: Assasin continues the forearms to the face of Vic Vegas, but the ref calls for the break. BH: Assasin giving Vegas a clean break there. JR: The two men go in again and lock up. Vegas pulls Assasin into a cravate. He holds him in the cravate for a second before flipping him into a snapmare, and kicking him right in the spine on the way down! BH: Wear down his head, beat up his body? Sounds simple and genius. JR: Vegas quickly goes to the ground with a chinlock on Assasin. Assasin's foot is mere inches away from the ropes. He tries to put it on...yes, he gets it. Rope break, and Vegas with the clean break this time. BH: Neither man really wants to fire the other one up too bad, they're both wrestling with level heads right now. JR: Assasin gets back up to his feet, but Vegas plows him over with a Lou Thez press right away! Vegas throws the punches right into the face of Assasin, and the ref comes over to break it up. The ref literally has to pull Vegas off of Assasin. BH: Forget what I said about being level headed. JR: Vegas is talking trash to Assasin while the Hall of Famer gets back to his feet. Assasin is barely on his feet before Vegas charges him. Assasin grabs Vegas and Irish whips him into the ropes. Vegas comes back and Assasin goes for a lariat, but Vegas ducks. Vegas hits the opposite ropes and goes for a lariat of his own. Assasin ducks, and Vegas goes off the ropes again. Vegas pulls the arm back for a lariat, but instead grabs Assasin's arm and hits a very unexpected armdrag! BH: Vegas is playing games. And when was the last time we saw an armdrag in a heavyweight match? JR: Assasin is getting fired up and pissed off. He comes into the middle of the ring and just delivers a massive chop to the chest of Vic Vegas. Vegas chops him back even harder. Assasin pushes Vegas. Vegas pushes Assasin. Vegas runs off the ropes, he comes back and tries to shoulderblock Assasin down, but Assasin stays on his feet. Vegas hits the other ropes and goes for another shoulderblock, but Assasin stays on his feet. BH: Assasin appears to be laughing at Vic Vegas! JR: And he just got bitch slapped again for his troubles! Vegas grabs Assasin's face and just starts delivering impactful Kawada kicks to the face. Vegas hits a European uppercut, sending Assasin to the mat. Vegas drops the elbow down across the chest of Assasin. He goes for the cover. 1...2.kickout. BH: Barely even two of that one. JR: Vegas helps Assasin up and whips him into the ropes. Vegas waits, but springs forward with a powerful lariat, knocking Assasin onto the mat again. BH: He's not going to waste time pinning him again, Vegas just wants this match to end. JR: Vegas helps Assasin up and whips him into the corner. Vegas follows him in, but Assasin slugs Vegas the second Vic gets near him. BH: Simple but effective. JR: Vegas chops back, but Assasin just nails Vegas with a lariat of his own. Assasin looks to be too hurt to follow up quickly. BH: Those early headlocks seem to be taking their toll. JR: Assasin goes to help Vegas up, but Vegas fights out of it. Vegas chops as Assasin's chest again, making it even harder to breathe. Vegas grabs Assasin to whip him into the corner, but Assasin reverses it and throws Vegas into the corner. Assasin follows him in with another lariat. He goes for the cover. 1...2..Vic gets his foot up on the ropes. Assasin picks up Vegas, he's setting him up for the Hit List. BH: This could mean the end. JR: Vegas throws a knee to Assasin's head, and manages to get out. Vegas grabs Assasin, he sets him up for it...Yes! The Bright Lights! The Bright Lights! 1...2...but Assasin gets his leg onto the rope! BH: Vegas looks pissed. JR: Vegas helps Assasin up and brings him into the center of the ring. Vegas whips Assasin into the ropes, and turns Assasin inside out with another lariat! But Vegas helps a barely alive Assasin up one more time, and whips him into the ropes again, and nails him with yet another brutal clothesline! 1...2...3! BH: Vic Vegas gave up with the fancy moves and just decided to beat Assasin hard enough that he couldn't even react, and it worked! JR: A huge win for the EHW World Champion!

Winner: Vic Vegas via pinfall
