A Change of Heart

The scene opens with Chris Angel cleaning out his locker into a brown cardboard box. He looks angered and still in a state of shock at being released from his contact just because he lost his match the week before. He still had half a mind to go back to the head office and let that fruitcake Phil know exactly what he thought of him. But it was better to just leave well enough alone. The EWA wasn�t the same without Mike Victory. Movement from behind a darkened patch of the room caught his attention.

Mini-Phil: Psst...Dumbass over here.

Angel turns around to see who it was, but the voice�s location was different from where the movement was. Standing at the door way to the locker room was Mini-Phil. A little pitbull of a man, standing only 3 and a half feet tall.

Chris Angel: YOU! Get out of here! I don�t need you gloating while I�m packing.

Mini-Phil: Settle down Soda Pop, I�m here to offer you your job back. Phil sent me to tell you that your termination has been delayed...he�s decided to just place you on probation.

Chris Angel: Probation...you go back to that fat cow and tell him that he can stick his probation up his a...

Phil: Mr. Angel...now I know you weren�t going to finish that sentence with profanity. I do so hate vulgarity.

Spinning round a full 180 degrees brings Angel eye to eye with Phil standing only inches away from him, the shock was enough to make him back away into the locker.

Phil: Mr. Angel, I don�t think you quite understand my proposition...I�m ready to bring you back into the fold here. You keep your contract, you get to continue wrestling, you continue to receive a paycheck every week.

Chris Angel: Up yours freak. You couldn�t pay me enough to work for you.

Phil laughs once and raises an eyebrow, continuing in a very wry voice.

Phil: Not interested in money? How about Gold?

Chris Angel: What do you mean?

Phil: I mean you... in a match... for a title. Did Purr hit you harder in the head then I saw? Cause you don�t look retarded, but if you don�t know what a title match is anymore.

Chris Angel: You know what I meant...why are you doing this. Firing me last week, offering me my job back, then offering me a title shot the next.

Phil: Well as I stated, I intended to fire three people last week, and after some thought I think I fired the wrong man...I�ve chosen some one else to take your place.

Chris Angel: Who?

Phil: That is for me to know for now, and you to find out later. Now do you want a shot at one of the titles next week or not?

Phil offers his hand out in the gesture of a shake, Chris Angel looks at it with a sneer as though he didn�t like what he was doing.

Chris Angle: Ok, I�m in. But if you screw me over again, I�m not going to just pack my things and leave...there�ll be repercussions. You can count on it.

Phil: Yes, yes. Threaten me if it makes this easier for you...just pack your things back up into that little locker of yours and get to the training room. You need some exercise, you�re getting flabby.

Phil walks out of the room pushing Chris Angel out of the way as he passes. Mini-Phil followed in toe.

Mini-Phil: You think that was smart boss? When he catches on...

Phil: Mini-One, I never lied to the man once.

Scene fades to the opening of Tsunami.

The pyro hits for Tsunami and the cameras pan around the arena, as they focus in on some of the fans signs, including 'BUTCHER FOR PRESIDENT', 'WE WANT MINI-PHIL' and a sign with 'MARKS' in the middle and arrows pointing around the arena, and then the camera cut down to ringside with commentators Maura Downs and Louis Carvanelie. Both Maura and Louis have smiles on their faces as Tsunami opens.

Maura Downs: Hello everyone, and welcome to Tuesday Night Tsunami!

Louis Carvanelie: We have some great matches on the way, and it'll be interesting to see how the fed does under new ownership.

Maura Downs: Last week it was announced that ownership has been handed to Phil, but Phil went psycho last week and fired three members of the roster, including Pain Express, Chris Angel and a very surprising release of none other than Bob Taylor!

Louis Carvanelie: Tonight we have a new wrestler in Azariel, who was the mystery guy who helped Ender last week, compete in his first match against Mark Halbrook, Tornado is looking for some revenge as he takes on Marshall Gates and also tonight, the Interloper, Cyrus Roland, will take on Tommy Purr! Not to mention Davlin McCaine will be presenting Talking Shit, and we can see how he feels after his loss to Layton Matthews, for the number one contendership for the Universal Championship!

Maura Downs: Not only that, but our main event sees the World Of Pain title on the line, IN A HARDCORE ELIMINATION BATTLE ROYAL!!

Louis Carvanelie: Layton Matthews has a struggle ahead of him as he defends against Sam Hain, Ender AND Caveman!

Maura Downs: But now we are ready for our first match, Azariel Vs Mark Halbrook!!

Louis Carvanelie: Hang on a minute, what's this?

Azariel Has A Visitor

In the backstage area, a black cloaked figure is seen. He walks slowly across the hall. A camera begins to follow him as they pass another crew who look at the hooded man as if seeing a ghost. The man reaches the room and opens the door and closes it behind him, and the camera shows that this is Azariels locker room. Azariels voice can be heard from inside.

Azariel: What the hell are you doing here? ... No!... I am not what you made me!... I am who I am!... I will not do it!... Get Away from me! .... NO!...

The voice disappears and the cameraman opens the door. Nobody is there, but there's a pool of blood on the floor.

Maura Downs: What the hell was that all about?

Louis Carvanelie: I don't know Maura, but it doesn't look good for our new wrestler and now what's this?

An Offer No-One Could Refuse

Scene opens with Phil sitting at his desk, doing paper work when a knock brings his head up. Alan Fiscus and Jake Jarvis stood at the doorway.

Fiscus: Hey, ahhh...Phil was it? You called us here?

Phil�s face broke into a broad smile and he got up and greeted each of them with a firm handshake.

Phil: Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming so soon after my summons. What became of Mini-Phil after he sent you? He was supposed to come back after sending for you.

Jarvis stood inspecting his fingernails. Trying his best to look uninterested.

Jarvis: I imagine that he�s hanging around somewhere.

An image flashes quickly to a shot of Mini-Phil hanging from his tighty whities on the coat hanger in the men�s washroom and then back to Phil.

Phil: Now now boys, I can�t have you treating my assistant and executive secretary like that. I just may have to get nasty.

Fiscus: Look, Phil. I don�t think you called us here to threaten us. What the hell do you want?

Phil: Well I guess we found out which one of you two is the brains of the group, or at least the balls. I called you boys here to make you an offer. One that I�m beginning to regret already. I called you here to end the Butcher�s Era.

Jarvis: What do you mean, end the Butcher�s Era? You�re giving one of us a Universal Championship match?

Phil: What I mean is tonight, at this very Tsunami, you and your tag mate, will be in a match against the Butcher. A handy cap match. A PINKSLIP MATCH!

Fiscus: A pinkslip match? You mean the loser...

An insane light danced in Phil�s eyes as he finished Fiscus� sentence. He leaned in closer to Fiscus.

Phil: Is fired. Wouldn�t you like to be known as the tag team that retired the Meatman? That is unless of course...you don�t think you can beat him?

Fiscus: What? Of course we can beat him...

Phil: Good....

Jarvis: Just a second.

Phil: Too late my friend, you�ve already said you�d fight the match...or at least your partner said he would, I have the conversation on tape if you doubt me. Mini-Phil?

Mini-Phil walks in with a painful limp like his underwear might be lodged in the neather regions that no one wants to think about. In his hand is a VHS cassette.

Phil: You�ll fight that match and win, or you will be the one�s to leave the EWA. Either for losing the match or for breach of contact.

Jarvis: You can�t do that!

Fiscus: You sneaky bastard.

Phil: I can do what I want, thank you! Now out of my office.

Fade back to the show with Phil�s maniacal laughter in the background.

Maura Downs: What the- Phil is insane! He's just booked a Handicap Pink Slip Match!! He wants Jarvis and Fiscus to end the Butchers Era!

Louis Carvanelie: And we've just got word that Butcher has been held up. He will be here ladies and gentlemen, and what is he going to think when he finds out what Phil has done!!

Maura Downs: I don't know, but our first match of the night pits Azariel against Mark Halbrook!

AZARIEL VS MARK HALBROOK

'No Shelter' blasts over the PA system and Mark Halbrook appears on the ramp, before making his way down the ramp to boos from the crowd. He ignores them as he slides into the ring with a serious expression on his face.

Maura Downs: Mark Halbrook isn't going to be happy, after losing the match for the number one contendership for the World Of Pain title, THEN Gates attacking him afterward with the steel chair.

Louis Carvanelie: But he'll have to wait for his chance at Gates, as Tornado has him in a match-up tonight.

'Whispers' now plays over the PA system as the arena darkens, and the crowd rises to its feet, to get a look at the new EWA superstar. Azariel appears on the ramp to a good pop, as he makes his way down the ramp.

Maura Downs: He sure is unique, is a way to describe him.

Louis Carvanelie: Unique, or a freak?

Maura Downs: I've heard good things about him, let's see how he compares to Mark Halbrook.

Louis Carvanelie: But what happened to him backstage. He looks ok, well, I think anyway, right now.

Maura Downs: I don't know Louis. There's something strange about this one.

Azariel steps inside the ring and takes his mask off, before dropping it over the top rope, and then bringing his hands down, as flames erupt around him. Mark Halbrook jumps a little at the display but then moves foward as soon as they clear, and gets right into his face.

Maura Downs: Mark Halbrook has the height and weight advantage, and I'm pretty sure he's not going to go easy on Azariel.

Louis Carvanelie: Why would he? He should show Azariel how things are done in the EWA, a painful lesson I'm sure.

Maura Downs: AND HALBROOK JUST SLAPPED AZARIEL IN THE FACE!! WHAT A SHOW OF DISRESPECT!!

Louis Carvanelie: He's punking him out Maura, and look, it's working...

Azariel has his head turned away from Halbrook, and Halbrook smiles and shrugs his shoulders, but Azariel slaps a right across Halbrooks face, before punching him into the ropes and whipping him across the ring, taking him down with a spinning calf kick, as Halbrook shocked gets to his feet, into an elbow from Azariel, before being pushed into the turnbuckle. Halbrook runs foward, and Azariel ducks a right hand, and hits a neckbreaker on Halbrook. Halbrook goes down but gets to his feet again, running into an armdrag and sliding back to his feet before running into another armdrag. Halbrook again gets to his feet and misses the clothsline, and Azariel dropkicks him in the face. Halbrook goes down and Azariel covers... 1.....(Halbrook kicks out)

Maura Downs: Azariel starting off explosively here.

Louis Carvanelie: This man is athletic, but can he match Halbrook?

Halbrook gets to his feet as Azariel runs into the ropes and hits a crossbody on Halbrook before rolling to his feet and then taking Halbrook down with a swinging neckbreaker. Halbrook gets gets to his feet and ducks a right hand from Azariel, before rocking him back with a right hand, and whipping him into the ropes, before hitting a flying lariat on Azariel. He drags him to his feet and throws him into the ropes, before running foward but Halbrook gets the boot up. Azariel holds his face as Halbrook comes from the corner and flapjacking Azariel into the top turnbuckle, as Halbrook rolls him up on his way down. 1....2....(Azariel gets the shoulder up) Azariel gets to his feet and Halbrook knocks him down with a clothsline before climbing to the top turnbuckle. He dives off for a legdrop but Azariel moves out of the way, and dropkicks Halbrook in the face before hitting the ropes and going for a lionsault, but Halbrook moves out of the way and Azariel lands on his feet. Halbrook turns to face Azariel and they both raise their arms up as the crowd applaud. Halbrook and Azariel lock up and Azariel pulls Halbrook into a headlock before moving around the back and taking Halbrook down and twisting around into a front face headlock. Halbrook gets to his feet and drives his elbow into Azariels ribs, and ducking a right hand, and taking Azariel down with a side russian legsweep! Azariel is down and Halbrook makes the cover. 1....2....(Halbrook gets the shoulder up) Halbrook whips Azariel into the ropes and bends down, as Azariel comes back off the ropes and rolls off of Halbrooks back and hitting the opposite ropes and takes Halbrook down with a springboard elbow!

Maura Downs: Nice springboard elbow from the athletic Azariel.

Louis Carvanelie: I'm still wondering what all that was about earlier, and what was all that blood in there for?

Maura Downs: I don't know Louis, but concentrate on the match for now!

Halbrook gets to his feet and blocks a right from Azariel, before driving his knee into his stomach, and lifting him up for a powerbomb, but Azariel rolls over with the victory roll, and the ref slaps his hand against the mat. 1.....2.....(Halbrook kicks out) Azariel gets to his feet and bodyslams Halbrook to the mat, before legdropping him across the throat and going for the cover, but again Halbrook kicks out. He gets to his feet and Azariel looks for a dropkick, but Halbrook moves out of the way, and then grabs both Azariels legs, and pulls him into a boston crab. Azariel is in trouble, as he screams out in pain. He makes an attempt to get to the ropes, but Halbrook pulls him back and puts more pressure on the hold.

Maura Downs: Halbrook is placing all the pressure on the legs and the lower back with that boston crab, and if Azariel doesn't get to the ropes, he's going to have to quit for sure. This one could be over straight away.

Louis Carvanelie: Goodbye Azariel, nice knowing you...

Maura Downs: It isn't over yet Louis!

Azariel makes one final attempt and reaches the ropes, and Halbrook is forced to release the hold. Azariel pulls himself up using the ropes but he looks unsteady as Halbrook pulls him foward and DDTs him to the mat. He drags him up to his feet and smiles, before hitting another DDT and hooking the leg. 1.....2....(Azariel kicks out) Halbrook looks down in disbelief and pushes the ref, saying it must have been three. Azariel crawls foward and drags Halbrook into a school boy, but Halbrook kicks out, and looks pissed, before kicking at Azariel on the mat. Azariel is helpless to the attack and as Halbrook stops for a second, Azariel tries to pull himself up using Halbrooks legs, and Halbrook grabs his hair and lifts him to his feet, yelling in his face. He then swings Azariels arm over his shoulder, and lifts him up into a vertical suplex, but Azariel manages to fall backwards and land on the top turnbuckle, as Halbrook turns around and Azariel grabs his head, and brings him back into a Tornado DDT!!

Maura Downs: What a counter by Azariel, and so far he has been impressive.

Louis Carvanelie: There is still time for Mark Halbrook to kick his ass!

Maura Downs: Louis, we are supposed to be unbiased.

Louis Carvanelie: Maura, I don't care!

Halbrook tries to get to his feet but falls back down as Azariel pushes himself up and low dropkicks Halbrook in the face. Azariel drags him to the corner and pulls him up against the turnbuckle, but Halbrook reverses, throwing Azariel into the corner, and hitting a knife-edge chop on him. Azariel holds his chest, but Halbrook swipes it away and hits another chop across the chest. The sound echoes around the arena and Halbrook pulls him out of the corner, and hits a snap suplex onto Azariel. He looks to hook in the boston crab again, but Azariel kicks him into the corner, before nipping to his feet and running at him, but Halbrook throws him over his shoulders, BUT AZARIEL LANDS ON THE TOP ROPE!! Azariel fakes diving off the rope and Halbrook goes down, trying to dodge the impact, BEFORE AZARIEL HITS A MOONSAULT ON HALBROOK!!

Maura Downs: Beautiful moonsault there!

Louis Carvanelie: But he needs to capitalize.

Azariel makes the cover by placing an arm over Halbrook...1....2.....(The ref spots Halbrooks foot on the rope!) Azariel raises his arms in victory, believing he has the match won. The ref pulls his arms down and tells him that Halbrook had his foot on the rope. Azariel looks disappointed but walks over to Halbrook, who drop toe holds Azariel onto the middle turnbuckle pad. Halbrook gets to his feet and begins smashing Azariels face into the padding again and again. Halbrook lifts him up and places Azariel in the tree of woe position before running to the opposite turnbuckle, RUNNING FOWARD AND BASEBALL SLIDING AZARIELS FACE!! Azariels head snaps back and Azariel falls awkwardly from the top turnbuckle. Halbrook drags Azariel to his feet and signals the end, BUT AZARIEL REVERSES THE VICTORY SLAM INTO A DDT!! Both men are down and the ref checks both men, before raising his hand up and counting one.... starting his ten count. He reaches 5, and Azariel pushes himself to his feet, before falling back in the corner, watching Halbrook pull himself up in the opposite corner as the ref stops the count. They walk to the centre of the ring and Azariel connects with a right hand, and both men trade punches in the middle of the ring. Halbrook brings Azariel to one knee, but Azariel connects with a shot to the jaw, and brings Halbrook down to one knee as well, and they continue to trade shots in the middle of the ring, as both men stand again, and Azariel kicks Halbrook in the knee, and whips him into the ropes, but Halbrook runs foward and dives into a roll-up, hooking the tights. 1.....2.....(Azariel kicks out)

Maura Downs: A little cheating there by Halbrook, but it didn't get him the win.

Louis Carvanelie: It doesn't matter about the jouney Maura, just the destination.

Halbrook stomps on Azariel and mounts him, punching him a couple of times before hitting the ropes and coming high for the legdrop, but Azariel rolls out of the way, hits the ropes and dropkicks Halbrook in the face, sending him to the mat. Azariel makes the cover. 1....2....(Halbrook kicks out) Azariel back body drops Halbrook, but Halbrook lands on his feet, and Halbrook pushes him into the ropes, holding onto the waist, as Azariel holds onto the ropes and Halbrook rolls back before running at Azariel ducks a boot, and Halbrook gets hung up on the top rope. Azariel kicks Halbrook off the top rope with a roundhouse kick, and Halbrook stays on the apron, as Azariel hooks him up and wants to suplex him into the ring, but Halbrook is countering, AND SUPLEXES HIM TO THE OUTSIDE!! Azariel crashes down to the outside as Halbrook turns around, and drops an elbow to the Azariels heart. He picks Azariel up and rolls him into the ring and follows him in.

Maura Downs: Nice reversal by Halbrook, and Azariel must be hurting!

Louis Carvanelie: Wrestlers always work hurt idiot!

Maura Downs: I know that Louis, I was merely...

Louis Carvanelie: Being an idiot. Yeah, I know.

Maura Downs: (Sigh)

Halbrook rolls into the ring and covers Azariel. 1...2...(Azariel just gets the shoulder up before the three) Halbrook reaches down and grabs Azariel, but Azariel hits a jawbreaker on Halbrook and quickly climbs to the top rope. He cuts his throat with his right hand signalling the end, and does a 450 Splash combined with a corkscrew plancha, AND MISSES!! Both men are down...

Maura Downs: My god Azariel missed the Phoenix Special and if Halbrook can just get the cover, this one will be all over! Louis Carvanelie: He has! 1.......2........NO!! Azariel just got the shoulder up in time!

Halbrook gets to his feet and begins an assualt on Azariel, as he drags him to his feet, but Azariel fights back with some rights, before Halbrook kicks him in the stomach and looks for the Victory Slam but Azariel counters and lands on his feet, BEFORE HITTING THE EDGE OF THE WORLD!! He falls into the cover... 1.......2.......3!!! IT'S OVER!!!

Maura Downs: Azariel pulled out the victory!!! A win on his debut!

Louis Carvanelie: But he doesn't look much like a winner right now does he. Halbrook took it to him in this match, and that Edge of the World came out of nowhere, stunning Halbrook and allowing Azariel to pull out the victory!

PHIL MAKES AN APPOINTMENT

The crowd are buzzing after the first match and are talking amongst themselves, as the titantron comes on, and Phils face appears on it. He is smiling and eventually, the crowds attention is brought to him.

Phil: Attention. As the owner of the EWA, I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I've made some decisions, and instead of droning on about them, let me introduce to you, the new, EWA Commisioner and Talent Relations Executive, Dave CHAAAAAAAAAIN!!

Maura Downs: A what?

Louis Carvanelie: A Commisioner and Talent Relations Executive!

Maura Downs: That's some title, and I think we are about to find out what this all means.

The titantron flicks off and 'Go to Sleep' by Eminem/DMX/Obie Trice hits the PA system, and down the ramp walks a very unfamiliar character. He is dressed in a business suit he fills out quite well, and he walks down to the ring with a huge grin on his face, before taking every step of the steel steps and climbing in between the ropes. He asks for a mic, and one is handed to him. The crowd are void of any reaction, as his face is completely new, but a couple of immature 'You suck' yells from random members of the crowd fill in the gap of silence, before Dave Chain speaks.

Dave Chain: Thank you Phil. Now I know a lot of you don't know me. Actually, none of you people know me. I'm Dave Chain, the new EWA Commisioner and Talent Relations Executive. What that basically means is Phil, the owner of the EWA, is not the only one who can make decisions concerning the EWA. I can make matches, and am in charge of all and any EWA talent, including possible prospects to be included on the roster. Now, you might not know me, and most have you have probably decided whether you like me or not already, but honestly, I don't care. Realise this, I'm here to raise the bar in the EWA, and in fact was the man who made tonights match-up a Hardcore Elimination Battle Royal for the World Of Pain Championship. That was my first match I signed, and there will be a hell of a lot more. Next week, I'm making my first big decision. Next week, we'll have the second ever Two Title Tournament... The tournament will end with a Cage Match, with both titles hanging from the top. Whoever grabs the title and touches the mat with the title, wins that title. This tournament will be for the vacant Television championship, and the vacant US championship!

Maura Downs: A two title tournament. Mr. Chain has been here no longer than five minutes, and he's already ascerting his authority!

Louis Carvanelie: Mr. Chain? Starting to kiss up early are you Maura. Who cares? Tsunami is going to be amazing next week, and two titles are going to be on the line.

Maura Downs: This is a huge opportunity for everyone on the roster, and this may be the time to impress.

Dave Chain:

My name might have not been established among EWA circles yet, but I assure each and everyone of you, things are going to be very different now I'm involved, and I won't let anyone forget my name! So, take your opinions of me back home, and think for a second, because everything you may think about me now, will soon change a hell of a lot over the coming weeks. EWA has stepped into a new era. The era of Phil and Dave Chain. The Mood, is about to change!!

'Go to Sleep' hits the PA system again and Dave Chain steps out of the ring, making his way back up the ramp, amidst a very confused crowd.

Maura Downs: What the hell did all that mean?

Louis Carvanelie: I don't know, but I'm sure we are about to find out soon enough.

Maura Downs: And meanwhile we have a fantastic Tsunami to look foward to next week!

MARSHALL GATES VS TORNADO

Maura Downs: Marshall Gates last week acted like a sore loser, attacking both Tornado and Mark Halbrook after the number one contendership match.

Louis Carvanelie: And Tornado plans on getting some revenge tonight.

Maura Downs: Tornado is a BIG athlete, and Marshall Gates is going to have to use everything he has to take the big man down!

Louis Carvanelie: He'll find a way, I'm sure.

Maura Downs: I don't know, Tornado is pretty pissed, and he wants blood...

'Blood Spawn' plays over the PA system and Marshall Gates struts out with a huge smirk on his face to boos and jeers from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and into the ring, waiting on Tornado, as an explosion of pyro lights the arena, and the opening to 'Worlds Greatest' plays loudly over the PA system, and Tornado gets a rather mixed reaction from the crowd. Some people are warming to him since his departure from Last Vengeace, and the big man slowly makes his way down to the ring, pointing at Marshall Gates and yelling before picking up pace and sliding under the bottom rope. Marshall Gates immediately goes on the offensive, dropping several elbows across the back and neck of Tornado, then trying to keep him down with stiff kicks to the back of the head, but the huge figure of Tornado pushes Marshall Gates off him, and gets to his feet. Marshall Gates throws punches at Tornado, but Tornado blocks one of them and sends him straight into the corner with a huge right hand. Then he splashes Gates and Gates eyes are vacant! Tornado drags him to his feet and chops him across the chest, and the sound is loud, as the fans chant 'WOOOO', and again as another chop echoes around the arena again. Tornado grabs Gates by the throat and throws him across the ring, literally to the other side as he makes his way over and drags Marshall Gates back to his feet.

Maura Downs: Tornado isn't going to let Marshall Gates breathe here. He's trying to destroy him.

Louis Carvanelie: I think Tornado enjoys giving people pain. Remember that No-Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere match with Ricky Moses a couple of weeks back?

Maura Downs: Yeah, Tornado gave Moses the Tornado Ride off the ramp, THEN elbow dropped him after jumping off.

Louis Carvanelie: Marshall Gates is left reeling at the initial assault by the second largest man in the EWA!

Maura Downs: The first being Caveman, who has a chance at the World Of Pain title later on tonight, in our huge main event.

Tornado is working over Marshall Gates who is trying to get some offence in, and the crowd seem to be behind Tornado more than Gates here. Tornado puts a hand across Gatess throat, and Gates swings out with his arms, grabbing a hold of the referee. The referee tries to escape and Gates throws him into the ropes, before going down, and low-blowing Tornado twice!! Tornado is brought to his knees and Marshall Gates quickly hits the ropes, before dropkicking Tornado in his face. Tornado falls to the mat, and Gates does everything he can to keep him down, but Tornado still manages to get to his feet. Angry, Tornado swings wildly at Gates, who ducks the shot and hits a couple of his own, before driving his knee into Tornados gut, and trying to whip him into the ropes, but Tornado reverses the irish whip and instead whips Gates into the ropes, but misses with the clothsline as Gates hits the opposite ropes and comes back with a chopblock to the knee, knocking Tornado on his back! He makes sure he gets a couple of kicks to the head before hitting the ropes again, and rising high for the legdrop. He quickly covers Tornado, but Tornado powers out. Gates is thrown onto his feet but straight away goes back on the offensive, but Tornado manages to get to his feet as Gates hits the ropes and comes back with a clothsline, but Tornado stays on his feet. He repeats it, hitting another clothsline, but again Tornado doesn't go down! Finally, Gates hits the ropes one last time, and knocks Tornado down with a Lou Thesz Press, and starts pounding on Tornado, firing fists, lefts and rights as Tornado desperately tries to cover up.

Maura Downs: Gates has the right idea, try and keep Tornado down.

Louis Carvanelie: And don't let him utilize his strength, because if he hits a powermove, it could all be over!

Maura Downs: I'm just wondering how Gates is going to hit the Gates of Hell on Tornado?

Louis Carvanelie: Are you thick woman, how the hell is he going to do that? He's going to have to find some other way of beating the large fool...

Gates gets to his feet and is actually yelling at Tornado to get up, which he does, straight into a shot to the ribs, and amazingly, Marshall Gates is trying to suplex him, but he can't get him over, and Tornado counters by driving both fists into Marshall Gatess back! Gates hits the mat hard and Tornado drags him to his feet, and by the throat, before throwing him into the corner, where his back collides horribly against the turnbuckle. Tornado runs foward and gets a boot in his face. He tries again, but again Marshall raises the boot, this time jumping up on the top turnbuckle, and hitting a missile dropkick on Tornado, who stumbles back into the ropes!! He is leaning against the middle rope, which sags down with his weight and Marshall Gates runs foward, sending him out of the ring through the middle rope with a vicous knee to the face!! Tornados weight hits the floor with a huge slapping sound and Gates celebrates in the ring. Tornado slowly gets to his feet and Gates flies over the top rope, looking for the crossbody, but Tornado catches him, AND RUSHES HIM INTO THE RING POST!! Marshall Gates back bends around the post and he falls to the floor, as Tornado picks him up, AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!

Maura Downs: What power by Tornado, and this match has just turned around again.

Louis Carvanelie: But Marshall Gates is being smart here, rolling out the other side before Tornado can make the quick cover.

Maura Downs: But Tornado is stalking him, and the fight is taken to the outside once again.

Tornado follows Gates around the ring, and the ref is starting the ten count. Tornado grabs Gates and tries to lift him by the head, but Gates kicks him low, and the shot was hidden from the referee!! Gates then drop toe holds Tornados head into the steel steps and slides into the ring, regaining himself. He holds his back which is obviously still in pain after getting driven into the ring post. Tornado shakes the cobwebs off and angrily kicks the steel steps before sliding into the ring. Gates seizes the opportunity and startes kicking Tornado who tries to make his way to his feet. Gates ducks Tornados outstretched hands then dropkicks him in the knee, sending him down again, and then hitting the ropes, and coming back with a bulldog. Tornados face is driven into the mat and Gates makes the cover. 1.....2......(Kick out from Tornado) Gates drops an elbow across Tornados chest then nips back up to drop another, before hooking the leg again but again Tornado kicks out.

Maura Downs: I have to say, Gates is pretty impressive here against Tornado, and isn't allowing him to get too many power moves in.

Louis Carvanelie: That's a smart tactic, but Tornado needs to get smart, and get tough.

Tornado gets to his feet and takes a couple of shots to the chin, before Gates hits the ropes and attempts a lou thesz press on Tornado, but Tornado doesn't go down and instead hoists him up on his shoulders, before hitting a Death Valley Driver into a neckbreaker. Marshall Gates sits up and holds the back of his neck, but Tornado shoves him down and goes for the cover. 1....2....(Gates kicks out) Tornado drops a huge legdrop on Marshall Gates and again makes the cover. 1.....2....(Gates kicks out again) Tornado is getting angry as he lifts Gates up and places him on the top turnbuckle, as Tornado is climbing up.

Maura Downs: No, don't tell me. Tornado can't do this, he's too damn big.

Louis Carvanelie: He's going to cause a damn earthquake!

Gates hits a right hand and pushes Tornado off, before hitting a five star frog splash on Tornado and hooking the leg, BUT TORNADO KICKS OUT!! He wonders what he has to do to put Tornado away as Tornado gets to his feet, and Gates looks to whip Tornado into the turnbuckle, but Tornado reverses whipping Gates straight into the referee. Gates falls out of the ring and looks at the referee whose down. He picks up a chair and slides into the ring as Tornado is a little dizzy from the frog splash, and CRACK!! A chair shot to the head, and Tornado doesn't go down. CRACK! CRACK! Two shots bust Tornado open, but still he doesn't go down, and the chair is dent horribly. Gates hits the ropes and flies through the air, CRACK, as a final shot brings Tornado down. He hooks the leg.

Maura Downs: Gates is going to win this one, the ref is coming to!

Louis Carvanelie: But what's this??

Two people make their way through the crowd. A beautiful blonde woman distracts the referee as a big, muscular man enters the ring, as Marshall Gates gets to his feet, STRAIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT!! The man lifts Marshall Gates up, AND HITS A PUMP HANDLE SLAM ON GATES!! Gates is down and the ref is still distracted, as the man gets to the top turnbuckle. HITTING A VARIATION OF THE MONEY SHOT!! He turns Tornado over and drapes an arm over Gates as he slides out of the ring and the woman slaps the referee, telling him that there is a match going on. The referee turns... 1........2..........3!! It's all over!

Maura Downs: Who the hell are these two?

Louis Carvanelie: I don't know, but they just cost Marshall Gates the damn match!

Maura Downs: Tornado picks up the victory, but he doesn't look much like a winner at the moment.

Tornado is helped by the woman and the man, and the three of them walk up the ramp, as Tornado laughs pointing down at the ring, where the referee is checking on Marshall Gates.

Maura Downs: Marshall Gates put up a fight, and the crowd were behind Tornado, until that blatant interference, and now they are booing the hell out of him. Louis Carvanelie: Dirty tactics Maura, Tornado will do anything to pull out a victory.

RICO VEGA VS ROB FLYNN

Maura Downs: We've just been informed ladies and gentlemen, that a match has been added to Tsunami. Rico Vega is taking on Rob Flynn. Louis Carvanelie: Last time we saw these two men, they were involved in a tag team match last week, which ended in a draw. Maura Downs: Rico Vega wasn't too happy about that, and that is why he has challenged Flynn to a match this week.

'Crashing Around You' signals Flynns entrance as he gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope, where Rico Vega has just slid in behind him. He taps Flynn on the shoulders and Flynn turns, straight into a right hand from Vega.

Maura Downs: Where the hell did Rico Vega come from?

Louis Carvanelie: I don't know, but he's taking it to Flynn early in this match-up.

Vega whips Flynn into the ropes and hip tosses him down, as Flynn pops back to his feet, straight into a dropkick from Vega, which knocks him back into the ropes. Vega kicks Flynn a couple of times in the corner, before backflipping out of the corner and running foward, driving Flynn into the turnbuckle, before monkey flipping him out of the corner. Vega quickly crawls over for the cover, 1....2....(Flynn kicks out) Vega pulls Flynn to his feet and lifts him up as if to do a stalling vertical suplex, but instead moves foward and brings him down onto the ropes, as Flynn bounces off and hits the mat. Flynn makes his way to the corner and Vega runs foward for the shoulder thrust, but Flynn moves out of the way, and Vega hits the ring post and moves back into a back body drop. Vega holds the back of his head as Flynn picks him up from the mat, and hits a spinebuster on Vega, then bridges over for the pin. 1....2....(Vega kicks out)

Maura Downs: Flynn using his distinct power advantage over Vega, who will need to use his speed to get at Flynn.

Louis Carvanelie: And now Flynn wants to finish this early...

Flynn throws Vega onto his shoulders, and looks to hit the Flynn Drive, but Vega flips up onto his feet and armdrags Flynn across the ring as Flynn gets to his feet and runs at Vega who ducks a clothsline, and takes him down with a reverse DDT. Vega then steps to the outside on the apron, and hits a flipping legdrop over the top rope and goes for the cover, but Flynn kicks out. Vega again goes on the apron as Flynn gets to his feet, and makes an attempt to grab Vega, who knees Flynn in the stomach, and dives over into the sunset flip, but Flynn rolls through and hooks the legs for the cover, but Vega reverses this time by throwing his legs up and hooking the arms, before bringing him down for the pin, but Flynn reverses and throws himself over, hooking the legs, until Vega finally kicks out and both men get to their feet.

Maura Downs: Vega and Flynn exhanging pinning predicaments there, and you never know with those pins, one time you can get a quick victory over your opponent, so it's always worth a try.

Louis Carvanelie: True Maura, but no-one got pinned and now they are locking up in the centre of the ring.

Flynn throws a right at Vega, and Vega blocks as Flynn goes for a shot with his other arm, but Vega blocks the other punch and hits a sit-down jawbreaker, which springs Flynn into the ropes as he falls foward into a small package, and pushes out of it at 2. Vega gets to his feet but gets knocked down by an anger Flynn with a vicous clothsline that leaves Vega landing hard on the back of his neck. Flynn then stomps on Vega and pulls him to his feet, and again puts him on his shoulders and tries to end it with the Flynn Drive, but Vega rolls off his shoulders and hits an armdrag. Flynn gets to his feet quickly and runs straight at Vega who lifts his feet up and flips Flynn over his head with a monkey flip. Vega nips up and turns before running up Flynn in the corner and backflipping off before clothslining him into the corner. Flynn goes down and Vega goes to the opposite corner, and goes for the bronco buster, but Flynn gets his foot up and Vega is left reeling

Maura Downs: Nice counter there for the bronco buster, and Vega must be feeling the pain on that one!

Louis Carvanelie: A mistake by Vega, and one Flynn is sure to capitalize on now.

Flynn pushes Vega into the corner and knife edge chops him. Vega holds his chest, but moves out of the way of another chop, and jumps off the second rope, looking to take Flynn down with a hurracanrana, but Flynn keeps a hold of him and tries to powerbomb him, but Vega takes Flynn over the top rope with his legs, and holds onto the top rope, before pulling himself back into the ring, skinning the cat. Flynn hits the floor and gets to his feet, before sliding under the bottom rope and exploding at Vega, before hitting a throat thrust on Vega and whipping him into the ropes, before powerslamming him to the mat. Flynn grabs him and looks to powerbomb it, BUT VEGA TURNS IT INTO THE BURN!!

Maura Downs: What a counter! What a counter!

Louis Carvanelie: Vega hooks the leg... 1.....2....3!! It's all over!

TWO NEW EWA SIGNINGS?

Tornado is backstage in the locker rooms with the mystery man and woman, and they are laughing about something.

Tornado: Man, that was great stuff. Marshall Gates never saw it coming! WHAM! Big boot! (Laughs)

Mystery Woman: And another victory for Tornado. (She laughs and kisses Tornado)

Mystery Man: And the best part is, EWA has two new signings... did you ever think we'd be here together, ready to take EWA by storm?

The three of them are interupted as the door flies open, and in walks Dave Chain.

Dave Chain: So, I hope the three of you are proud of yourselves.

Tornado stands up and stands tall over Mr. Chain, folding his arms.

Tornado: Listen here, Dave, CHAIN, just because you've been given this new position within the EWA, that doesn't mean a damn thing...

Chain interupts Tornado by placing a hand up to stop him speaking...

Dave Chain: I think it does, Tornado. It means I can fire your ass!!

Tornado looks shocked, as he sits down.

Tornado: So, what do you want?

Dave Chain: I sign Hank Williams and Sarah Williams to an EWA contract, and the first thing they do is get involved in a match between you and Marshall Gates. Now, I need to make sure that the talent I bring into the EWA is going to work hard, and not just stroll along. You get me? What's your whole deal anyways?

Tornado: This, this is my former bodyguard and now tag team partner, Hank Williams, and this is his sister, and my girlfriend, Sarah Williams. I can assure you that we are going to take EWA by storm. Now, the three of us are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the EWA, and your signings will not go to waste. We have very big plans here, and we don't plan on letting ourselves down.

Dave Chain: Is that so? Well, next week, it'll be Marshall Gates Vs Hank Williams and if either of you two get involved, you'll automatically get fired, on the spot. You got that? Next week, Hank Williams debuts, and I can see what you got. If you don't impress me, you are out.

With that, Dave Chain sweeps out of the room and slams the door behind him. Tornado looks a little worried but Hank is cracking his knuckles at the prospect of facing Hank Williams and the scene cuts back to the commentators once more.

Maura Downs: Well, we have a match signed for next week, as this new guy, Hank Williams, faces Marshall Gates!

Louis Carvanelie: Marshall Gates is going to want to get revenge on Hank Williams because he cost him the match against Tornado, but what about this new, well, I think they are a faction. Tornado, Hank and Sarah? You think they can back up their claims!?

Maura Downs: I don't know, but what a match-up we have for you next, as Cyrus Roland takes on Tommy Purr!!

CYRUS ROLAND (INTERLOPER) VS TOMMY PURR

The lights in the arena suddenly go out as a wild cat is heard screeching over the PA system followed by the sound of a snapping whip and the lead singer of Trust Company bellows, "UNLEEEAAASHED" as the sound quickly fades into 'Downfall' performed by the same band. Tommy Purr appears on the ramp and gets a thunderous pop from the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring...

Maura Downs: Tommy Purr to take on new EWA superstar Cyrus Roland, otherwise known as the Interloper!

Louis Carvanelie: Little is known about the rookie Interloper, but we are about to get a taste right here, right now, when he takes on Tommy Purr.

Maura Downs: And here he is...

As Tommy Purr whips his jacket over the top rope, the lights dim, and 'Weak and Powerless' plays over the PA system, as Cyrus Roland appears on the entrance ramp, and makes his way calmly down the ramp, cigarette in mouth. He flicks it out and slides under the bottom rope. The crowd give him a mixed reaction, but then get in a huge 'TOMMY, TOMMY' chant, and Cyrus shrugs it off, before raising his middle fingers to the crowd, who respond by booing the new wrestler.

Maura Downs: The fans didn't like that one bit, and Cyrus is as calm as anything here.

Louis Carvanelie: He isn't sweating the veteran Tommy Purr, and you have to wonder, is that a mistake?

Maura Downs: Time will tell, as the men lock up...

Louis Carvanelie: By the looks of it, Cyrus has the distinct height and weight advantage, though his weight is unknown, but he'll have to use it to his advantage over the more experienced Tommy Purr.

Maura Downs: If you were Tommy Purr, how would you approach this match?

Louis Carvanelie: Well, Cyrus is only a rookie, and as such, is prone to make rookie mistakes. Take advantage of everyone of them, but don't underestimate him, as rookies can sometimes have hidden strengths. I'd also guess that Purr has the speed advantage, and if he combines it with his experience and heart in the ring, then he can take down the Interloper.

Maura Downs: And if you were Cyrus Roland, how would you combat Purrs experience? What tactics would you employ?

Louis Carvanelie: Cyrus needs to use his strength advantage against Purr, and try to make as little rookie mistakes as possible. I'd say he may be the better conditioned of the two, younger and hungrier. If he channels his energy right, he may just upset Purr.

Cyrus pushes Purr into the corner and breaks the lock-up before stepping back and smirking, jumping up and down on his feet, as Purr moves foward, into another lock-up. The two fight it out and Purr goes behind, and moves into a side headlock. Cyrus pushes him into the ropes and knocks him down with a shoulder block, before hitting the ropes, stepping over Purr who nips up and then coming back off the ropes into an armdrag, which is then turned into an armbar. Cyrus gets to his feet and Purr still has the armbar locked in, as Cyrus reverses into his own armbar, and wrenches the arm behind Purrs back. Purr throws an elbow back but Cyrus dodges out of the way and Purr reverses with a jawbreaker, as Cyrus falls back into the ropes. Tommy Purr turns and raises his fists as Cyrus looks taken aback a little. Cyrus gets to his feet and moves to the centre of the ring, and the two lock-up again and they stale mate, before breaking the lock-up and Purr raises his hand up, suggesting a test of strength. Cyrus obliges by grabbing the hand, but Purr kicks Cyrus in the gut, and whips him into the ropes, before taking him down with a standing dropkick to the jaw!

Maura Downs: Cyrus falling into a rookie mistake there, but so far hasn't made any fatal errors.

Louis Carvanelie: Both men just feeling eachother out, and so far have traded holds for a few minutes.

Purr waits for Cyrus to get to his feet and kicks him in the stomach before going for the swinging DDT, but Cyrus stops it, and places Purr on the ropes, before knocking him back with a snapping right hand. Purr is sitting on the turnbuckle and Cyrus goes to the second turnbuckle, as Purr is fighting him, hitting a couple of rights, as Cyrus rocks Purr with another right and steps up on the top rope, hooking Purr for a superplex, but Purr hits Cyrus in the ribs, then pushes him off the top rope, AND HITS THE PEARL HARBOUR!!

Maura Downs: Purr has hit that move early and has he taken down Cyrus already?

Louis Carvanelie: Not yet, there's the cover.

Maura Downs: 1.....2......NO!! Cyrus kicked out, and that's showing some guts there from the rookie.

Tommy Purr looks shocked that that didn't get the win, but drags Cyrus to his feet and snap suplexes him down, then floats over for the cover. 1.....2.....(Another kick out from Cyrus) Cyrus is down and Purr hits the ropes, flips over for the Rising Sun (Rolling Thunder) but misses as Cyrus rolls out of the way, and gets to his feet, before locking in a Greco-Roman armlock, and wearing down Purr, who crawls back and places his foot on the ropes, forcing Cyrus to break the hold. Cyrus drags Purr into the centre of the ring, and legdrops the arm, before locking in a variation of the armbar with the sleeper hold and Tommy Purr is calling out in pain.

Maura Downs: This is a clever move by Roland, who is wearing down Purr with a combination of submission moves.

Louis Carvanelie: He seems to have targeted Purrs arm, and is working it well.

Maura Downs: This young rookie is showing promise early in this match-up.

With Purrs one free hand, he makes an attempt to crawl foward, but doesn't get too far. He makes another attempt and Cyrus wrenches the hold further, as Purr desperately swings his elbow back, catching Cyrus in the face. He swings it back again, and again catches Cyrus in the face, and forces him to break the hold. Cyrus looks to lock it in again, but as Cyrus grabs Purrs hand he pulls him down into a crossface chicken-wing!! Cyrus is now in the submission hold, and is calling out in pain, as the ref asks if he wants to quit. Cyrus says no, but the ref keeps asking but Cyrus refuses to quit, reaching out trying to grab the ropes. He is a little too far, and pulls himself foward with his hand, and again the ref asks if he wants to quit, but again Cyrus tells him no. Finally, he reaches the ropes, and Purr pulls back one last time before releasing the hold. Purr gets to his feet, his face a little red after enduring the sleeper, as Cyrus pulls himself to his feet, also worse for wear after a submission hold. Purr clothslines Cyrus in the corner, and pulls him out of the corner with a snapmare, before dropkicking the back of his head, sending him snapping fowards, before falling on his back. Cyrus holds his neck and gets to his feet, as Purr kicks him a couple of times and whips him into the corner, before running foward and getting a boot to the face. Purr runs foward again and stops as Cyrus raises his foot again, and Purr catches it, throwing it down and clothslining Cyrus into the corner again, before chopping the hell out of him. Numerous chops hit Cyrus and the crowd 'WOOOOO' to each one. Cyrus reverses and hits a few chops of his own, before stepping back and running at Purr but Purr grabs a hold of Cyruss head with his feet and takes him down with the head-scissors. Cyrus rolls through and gets to his feet into another, spinning head-scissors, as Purr spins around and around Cyrus, before bringing him down on his head. Cyrus gets to his feet dizzy and stumbles back into the corner, as Purr climbs up on the second rope and hits right hands on Cyruss skull. 1......2......3......4.....5......6.....7.....8....9......10, as Purr raises his hand for another for luck, but Cyrus grabs a hold of him, AND HITS A SIT DOWN POWERBOMB!! He keeps a hold of the legs and makes the cover.....1......2......(Purr kicks out!)

Maura Downs: What a devastating sit-down powerbomb, and that was nearly an upset!

Louis Carvanelie: But it wasn't Maura, it wasn't, and this match is going to continue, now with Cyrus in the driving seat.

Maura Downs: He needs to take full advantage now he has Purr where he wants him.

Cyrus stomps down on Purr again and again, and tries to lock in the armbar again, but Purr scurries to the ropes and grabs a hold of them, as Cyrus gets to his feet and begins kicking down on Purr before dragging him to his feet and leaning him against the ropes. He chops Purr and whips him into the opposite ropes, before hitting a short-arm clothsline sending him down and then dropping an elbow across the chest of Purr, and hooking the legs, but Purr kicks out. Cyrus shakes his head, dragging Purr to his feet, and hitting a DDT, before hooking the leg again. 1.....2....(Purr kicks out again) Cyrus locks in the sleeper hold again and the body scissors too, squeezing the life out of Purr. The ref asks Purr if he wants to quit, but Purr says no. He asks him again, and again Purr says no. He asks him another time, but this time Purr doesn't reply, as his eyes close and he slowly fades. The ref raises Purrs hand and brings it down... 1.... He raises it again and the crowd stomp their feet, chanting for Tommy Purr.... 2... They chant louder as Purrs hand is raised again, and it comes down... NO!! Purr pulls his hand up at the last second, and shakes it wildly, before driving his elbow again into Cyruss face, and again and again, until Cyrus releases the hold and Purr gets to his feet and drops another elbow across Cyrus face! He hooks the leg and the crowd chant along... 1........2........3!! NO!!! Cyrus got his shoulder up at the last second.

Maura Downs: What a match this has been so far, and I have to say, I'm impressed with Cyrus Roland!

Louis Carvanelie: This match has been great, but can Cyrus pull it off, or will he fall to Tommy Purr?

Maura Downs: And Purr whips Cyrus into the ropes, hitting a spinning back elbow on Cyrus, who hits the mat...

Purr drags Cyrus to his feet and knocks him back into the ropes with a European Uppercut, then whips him into the ropes, but Cyrus holds on, and then slides underneath the bottom rope, regaining himself. Purr claps his hands and gets the fans riled up, as they clap with him, as Cyrus stares around at the pro-Purr crowd. Cyrus slides into the ring as Purr slides out, and Purr smiles to himself, before putting up his middle finger to Cyrus. Cyrus is furious and slides out of the ring to greet Purr, who instead greets him with a right hand then whipping Cyrus into the crowd barrier and grabbing him again, and whipping him into the side of the ring before grabbing him yet again, and again whipping him into the crowd barrier! Cyrus falls to the floor and Purr begins stomping down on him, again and again, wearing him down with kicks to the chest before pulling him up and rolling him into the ring. Purr climbs up on the apron, and jumps up, hitting a springboard splash on Cyrus and hooking the leg. 1....2....(Cyrus just kicked out) Purr drags Cyrus to his feet and brings him to the corner. He places him on the top rope before climbing up with him. Cyrus tries to fight out of it, but Purr hits the Frankensteiner!!! Cyrus is down, but that took something out of Purr too, and he can't make the cover yet.

Maura Downs: Purr hits the Frankensteiner, and this could be over if he can crawl over for the cover!

Louis Carvanelie: And now he is, he is making the cover... 1....2...NO! Cyrus kicked out again.

Maura Downs: Purr can't believe he hasn't put Cyrus away yet, and now Cyrus is getting to his feet, straight into a clothsline, sending him over the top rope!

Cyrus hits the floor and the ref begins the ten count.

Maura Downs: Cyrus could get counted out here, and look at Purr. The cockiness, just sitting on the top rope!

Louis Carvanelie: He thinks he has this match won.

The ref has reached 6 as Cyrus begins to stur, and at 8, he slides into the ring. He gets to his feet as Purr jumps to the mat to face him. Cyrus strikes out with a right hand, and Purr blocks, knocking Cyrus back into the ropes, but Cyrus comes back with double leg takedown, then begins punching Purr until he's pushed off as Purr gets to his feet, as Cyrus jumps foward and takes him down by the throat, ramming his head into the mat again and again. The ref breaks the choke hold, and Cyrus beckons Purr to his feet, hitting him in the face and whipping him into the turnbuckle. Cyrus runs foward and looks to squash Purr in the corner, but Purr moves out of the way and Cyrus cracks his back against the turnbuckle as Purr now runs foward, into a big boot from Cyrus. Purr goes down as Cyrus goes to the top rope, but Purr pulls himself up by the top rope, and Cyrus slips off the top rope. Purr quickly takes advantage with a springboard dropkick, connecting with Cyrus, but Cyrus doesn't fall to the mat, and hangs from the top rope. Purr climbs up on the second rope and tries to keep Cyrus out of it with a stiff punch, as he climbs on the second rope, BUT CYRUS PUSHES HIM OFF, AND NAILS A DIVING ELBOW!! He hooks the leg. 1.....2.....(Purr kicks out just before the 3)

Maura Downs: This match is going back and forth here and neither man can put the other away.

Louis Carvanelie: That's true, but Cyrus has the advantage again here.

Cyrus ducks down in the corner, measuring Purr up.

Maura Downs: Cyrus calls this The Last Supper Louis, and I think we are about to see it.

Louis Carvanelie: This is Cyruss finisher, the Running Sweet Chin Music.

Maura Downs: If he hits it, Purr could be down for the count and the upset.

Purr gets to his feet and Cyrus runs foward looking for his finisher, but Purr catches his boot, and stuns Cyrus with the Dragon Corkscrew, THEN LOCKS IN THE FIGURE FOUR!! Cyrus is screaming in pain now but is refusing to give up again, as the referee kneels down and asks Cyrus if he wants to quit. Cyrus says no but goes down with both shoulders and the ref makes the count. 1....2...(Cyrus raises the shoulder) Cyrus is still trying to fight the hold as Purrs face shows the intensity and effort he's putting into the hold. Cyrus punches Purr as he sits up, but Purr keeps the hold locked in.

Maura Downs: We have seen an amazing technical display from both wrestlers here tonight, and it looks like Cyrus might be out of this one.

Louis Carvanelie: I wouldn't bet on it. Look at this, he's right near the ropes!

Cyrus is stretching out his arm trying to grab a hold of the ropes, and with one last reach, he makes it. Purr breaks the hold but doesn't waste time in working the legs straight after.

Maura Downs: Great veteran tactics there. Don't give your opponent time to recover and work that body part.

Louis Carvanelie: If you take the mans legs out, then you can easily get the pin.

Cyrus throws a right at Purr who blocks and looks for a right of his own, but Cyrus ducks underneath and hits him with a spike DDT. Cyrus rolls Purr over and hooks the leg. 1....2....(Purr gets the shoulder up) Purr gets to his feet and Cyrus whips him into the ropes and then hits a sidewalk slam on Purr before stepping over and looking to lock in the figure four again, but Purr kicks him into the ropes and Cyrus hits the ropes and jumps over Purr as Purr gets to his feet and hits Cyrus with a back-elbow on his way back. Purr climbs the top rope. Looks for the Blayze of Glory, but Cyrus gets his knees up and Purr bends horribly around them before writhing on the mat as Cyrus begins working his back with stiff kicks. Cyrus drags Purr to his feet and ducks a right hand, before hitting a release german suplex on Cyrus!!

Maura Downs: Both men taking turns to dish out punishment and now both men are down once more.

Louis Carvanelie: But Purr missed with the moonsault, and that must have taken a lot out of him.

Maura Downs: And now they are exchanging right hands here.

Cyrus gets to his feet and Purr rams his head into the turnbuckle, before whipping him into the opposite turnbuckle. He runs foward, but Cyrus explodes from the corner, and clothslines Purr into the mat. Purr hits the mat as Cyrus comes back at him, but Purr droptoeholds him into the second turnbuckle and rolls out of the ring. He gathers himself before running foward and hitting the 619 on Cyrus, who flips back with the impact!

Maura Downs: That was unique!

Louis Carvanelie: That's what Purr brings to the table, unique offence!

Purr jumps onto the apron, then looks for the Tommyknocker, but Cyrus rolls out of the way and nips to his feet, before hitting The Last Supper!! He crawls over for the cover. 1.....2.....3!! It's over!! Cyrus has pulled out an upset!

Maura Downs: Cyrus Roland upsetting Tommy Purr there!?

Louis Carvanelie: This young kid is talented, and can be a major player here in EWA if he keeps it up.

Maura Downs: Wow, I'm impressed, and surprised. Purr went for the finish but somehow Cyrus pulled out the win, but anyway...

BACKSTAGE CONFRONTATION

The crowds attention is brought to the titantron, and they all roar loudly as the Universal Champion appears on screen. He just got out of a limo and he looks around, as someone hands him a slip of paper and walks away. He looks at it and gets a confused look on his face. He is dressed for a match, but doesn't look to happy, as he walks down the hallway, opening doors and looking inside. He stops someone further down.

The Butcher: Hey, have you seen Phil anywhere?

The person shakes their head, as Butcher walks around the corner, straight into Phil who has an evil smirk across his face.

Phil: Hey MeatHead, looking for me?

The Butcher: You damn right I am. I don't know what your game is, but do you know just who the hell I am? (Butcher doesn't wait for an answer) I'm the Butcher, EWA Universal Champion, and why the hell are you keeping me off the card? I come here, ready to kick some ass, and what do I find? I have no opponent, no match, AND NOBODY TO EVEN TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!! Now Phil, you are going to book me in a match...

Phil smirks: That's right Butch, I am...

Butcher seems a little taken aback, but lets Phil continue...

Phil: You want competition so bad chump, then you got it. Tonight, you, Butcher, in one corner. In the other corner... Jake Jarvis!!

Butcher nods his head and punches his open palm, before trying to push past Phil and on his way, but Phil stops him, shaking his head.

Phil: No, no, no. You didn't let me finish. In the other corner... Jake Jarvis... AND.... Alan Fiscus!! That's right Butcher, you, the Universal Champion, in a handicap match! (Laughs) And not only that, but in a Handicap, LOSER OR LOSERS LEAVE EWA MATCH!! Oh and Butcher... It's next!! (Laughs)

Phil laughs an evil, cold laugh and walks off, leaving Butcher alone, a shocked lock on his face!

THE BUTCHER VS JAKE JARVIS AND ALAN FISCUS

HANDICAP PINKSLIP MATCH, LOSER(S) LEAVE EWA

Maura Downs: Now this has gone too far. Phil is just plain evil. This is Butchers life, and the power has gone to Phils head. First, three firings last week, and now, of all things, placing Butcher in a handicap match, with his career on the line!!

Louis Carvanelie: Don't forget, Jarvis and Fiscuss career is also on the line here tonight, but the odds are stacked heavily against Butcher. And also, remember that Butcher is the Universal Champion!! Does that mean the title will be vacant? Or will it go to either Jarvis or Fiscus? Or even the number one contender, Layton Matthews!?

Maura Downs: I don't know Louis, but Butchers livelihood is at stake, as well as Jarvis and Fiscuss!

Louis Carvanelie: No doubt about it, Phil is insane!

'Dig It' hits the PA system and the Suicide Kings, Jake Jarvis and Alan Fiscus walk down the ramp, confident looks on their faces. The fans boo the hell out of them as they make their way to the ring and jump up onto the apron, before an explosion hits the entrance ramp, and 'Kill You' bursts onto the PA system, as the fans cheer loudly for the Universal Champion, who appears on the ramp. He makes the walk down the ramp before taking off the title and dropping it on the outside of the ring and sliding into the ring. Immediately, Jarvis and Fiscus engulf him with stiff kicks to the back of his head, and Butcher tries to fight them off. He sweeps Jarviss legs from under him, and then spears Fiscus to the mat. Jarvis gets to his feet straight into a clothsline from Butcher who clothslines Fiscus as he too gets to his feet. He whips Jarvis into the ropes then whips Fiscus into the opposite ropes and clothslines them both, one after the other, into the corner! Both men stumble out of the corner and Butcher grabs their heads, before bringing them together. Butcher then lifts Jarvis up, AND HITS THE BUTCHERS BLADE!! He makes the cover, but Fiscus breaks the count. Jarvis rolls to the outside and Fiscus is working over Butcher with some kicks to the mid-section.

Maura Downs: It could have been over just there, but that's where the numbers game works against Butcher. He needs to take out both men if he's going to make the pin.

Louis Carvanelie: It's going to be extremely difficult for Butcher to take out two top athletes, and even harder if they can isolate the champ.

Maura Downs: A hard knee to Butchers face there.

Butcher gets to his feet and grabs Fiscuss foot, spinning him around and then hitting a belly to belly suplex! Fiscus hits the mat hard and Butcher grabs a hold of him, hitting another belly to belly suplex on Fiscus. Butcher waits for Fiscus to get to his feet and throws him up but Fiscus counters with a dropkick. Butcher stumbles back into the ropes and Fiscus dropkicks Butchers knees away from him. Butcher hits the mat and Fiscus goes to the top rope. Butcher gets to his feet as Fiscus hits a double axe handle on Butcher, as Butcher dazed gets hit with a Tiger Suplex into the mat. Fiscus mounts Butcher and starts punching him, before Butcher pushes him off, but Fiscus doesn't give up, and drops an bionic elbow onto Butcher.

Maura Downs: Fiscus is getting the advantage of Butcher here, and if things carry on...

Louis Carvanelie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Butchers career will be over. You know, sometimes you don't half point out the obvious you know.

Fiscus picks Butcher up and hits an elbow on him, but Butcher pushes him off and hits a right hand of his own, and Butcher is fighting back, rocking Ficus with right hands, before whipping him into the ropes, and then belly to belly suplexing him across the entire ring. Fiscus lands on the other side of the ring, and Butcher goes over, dragging Fiscus to his feet, who then pokes Butcher in his eye and hits a DDT. Butcher is down and Fiscus makes the cover...1.....2.....Butcher kicks out! Fiscus again drags Butcher to his feet, and snapmares him over, before locking in a headlock. The fans stomp their feet and chant, 'LETS GO BUTCHER' as Butcher tries to get to his feet, but Fiscus buries his knee into Butchers back, and Butcher is still grounded. Slowly but surely though, Butcher makes it to his feet, and counters the hold with a jawbreaker!! Fiscus bounces back and into the ropes as he comes straight back into a stiff clothsline from Butcher. Butcher then picks him up and throws him into the corner, driving his abs into the turnbuckle with his shoulder, before lifting him up onto the top turnbuckle. Butcher raises his arms to the crowd, who roar their approval as Butcher steps up onto the second rope, then the top, and hits a superplex onto Fiscus! Both men are down as Butcher makes the cover, but Fiscus kicks out! Butcher gets to his feet and as Fiscus does, Butcher kicks him in the stomach and scoops him up onto his shoulders, but before he can hit the Butchers Blade, Fiscus pushes him into the ropes, where Jarvis has now got up onto the apron, before hanging up Butcher on the top rope. Butcher springs back into a dropkick from Fiscus as Jarvis rolls into the ring, and they begin double teaming Butcher.

Maura Downs: The numbers game has caught up with Butcher.

Louis Carvanelie: And now all Fiscus and Jarvis have to do is pick apart The Butcher, and they could send him out of the EWA.

They drag Butcher to his feet and double suplex him, before dropping simultaneous elbows. They again drag him to his feet and whip him into the ropes, as Fiscus grabs Jarvis and whips him into Butcher, who takes the clothsline from Jarvis. Jarvis and Fiscus place Butcher on the top rope and each climb up as well, BEFORE HITTING A DOUBLE SUPERPLEX!! Butcher hits the mat hard and Fiscus covers. 1....2....(Butcher gets the shoulder up) Fiscus hooks the leg, and again Butcher gets the shoulder up. Again Fiscus hooks the leg, letting Butcher exert some energy in those kick-outs, and finally Fiscus gets to his feet as Jarvis and Fiscus begin beating down on Butcher once more. They whip Butcher hard into the ropes, and each grab a leg, taking him down with a flapjack! Butcher hits the mat and bounces on his back, as Jarvis hooks the leg this time. 1....2....(Butcher kicks out) Fiscus gets a twisted smile on his face as he tells Jarvis to finish it, as he grabs Butcher and signals for a Tombstone Piledriver!

Maura Downs: NO! Fiscus is going to try and break Butchers damn neck!

Louis Carvanelie: If he hits it with Jarvis putting more pressure on, this could end Butchers career in more ways than one!

Fiscus has him in the tombstone position, but Butcher is reversing as he falls backwards, and pulls Fiscus into the tombstone position, but Jarvis dropkicks Fiscus, which causes Butcher to fall to the mat and have Fiscus on top, pinning the Butcher. 1.....2.... Butcher kicks out. They drag Butcher to his feet and whip him into the ropes, but Butcher comes back, taking down both Fiscus and Jarvis with a double clothsline. He gets to his feet and whips Fiscus into the corner, as Jarvis gets to his feet, knocked back with a right and then whipped straight into Fiscus, as Butcher runs foward and splashes the both of them! Jarvis stumbles out of the corner into a scoop slam, and Fiscus falls head first low on Jarvis, as Butcher laughs. Butcher picks Jarvis up and whips him into the turnbuckle, before picking up Fiscus, who rakes Butchers eyes! Butcher blinded for a second stumbles back into a stiff clothsline from Jarvis. Butcher gets to his feet, straight into a double DDT. Butcher goes down and Jarvis hooks the leg. 1....2....(Butcher kicks out)

Jarvis gets to his feet and drags Butcher up with him, before pushing him into the ropes. Jarvis runs foward, and Butcher throws him over the top rope, but he lands on the apron, as Fiscus runs foward, looking for a clothsline, but Butcher moves, and Fiscus knocks Jarvis off the apron. Fiscus, distracted for a second, then turns straight into Butcher who scoops him up onto his shoulders again, and in a split second, HITS THE BUTCHERS BLADE!! He hooks the leg... 1.....2.....3!!!

Maura Downs: BUTCHER HAS DONE IT!! ONE MISTAKE AND BUTCHER TOOK ADVANTAGE!!

Louis Carvanelie: And now Fiscus and Jarvis are being forced out of the EWA!!

Maura Downs: What a match, and somehow, someway, Butcher defied the odds stacked against him!

(EWA cuts to a commercial break advertising next weeks Tsunami and the two title tournament, before cutting to Phils office)

INSIDE PHILS OFFICE

The titantron flicks to Phils office, where Jarvis and Fiscus have just knocked down the door. Phil looks deadly calm as they first try to speak at the same time, but get nowhere. Fiscus then speaks to Phil, after catching his breath.

Alan Fiscus: Dammit Phil, you gave us a guarentee that we'd win the handicap match!

Jake Jarvis: We want to be re-instated immediately Phil, you screwed us over!

Phil leans back on his chair and just shakes his head.

Phil: Jarvis... Fiscus... You read the contract... Loser leaves... Bye!

Fiscus and Jarvis open their mouths as if to say something, but realise it is no good, and storm out of the office, as the scene ends on Phil with a smirk on his face before cutting back to the commentators.

Maura Downs: What the hell? Phil guarenteed them the win over Butcher!!

Louis Carvanelie: But they didn't win, and Fiscus and Jarvis have become the next victems of Phils insanity!

Maura Downs: Phil has driven five men out of the EWA in just two short weeks!!

Louis Carvanelie: But up next, a World Of Pain title match, Elimination Hardcore Battle Royal...

A little payback before next week?

Tornado, Hank and Sarah are still backstage talking and laughing.

Tornado: Hank man, you got to impress the boss, or you are out.

Hank: No problem man, I've got it. Marshall Gates is history next week.

Tornado: I wouldn't be too sure. (Tornado leans in close and whispers as though someone will hear him) Gates is one tough son of a bitch!

Hank: Don't sweat it Tornado, I'll be fine.

Tornado: If you say so. Just remember, you could be out as soon as you got in, and if our plans are going to go somewhere, you are going to have to do your best. Hank: Will you stop your worrying, I'll be fine. I'm going to get a drink, you two want one?

Tornado and Sarah: Yeah.

Tornado: Actually Hank, I'll go get it... You wait here, I think Sarah wants to speak to you about something anyway..

. Tornado gets up to leave the room and closes the door behind him as the scene changes to outside. Tornado is walking down the hall and OUT FROM NO-WHERE MARSHALL GATES CRACKS TORNADO WITH A STEEL CHAIR!! Tornado stumbles into the wall and walks straight into another shot, sending him to the floor. Marshall Gates then goes insane with the chair, literally beating Tornado again and again until the chair is a mess, and so is Tornado. He throws it down and walks away, leaving Tornado a bloody mess as the scene cuts to the commentators.

Maura Downs: Wow, Gates getting a little revenge on Tornado there, and this feud is far from over!

Louis Carvanelie: And next week, Gates will take on Hank Williams, and if Hank doesn't impress Mr. Chain, he's out of the EWA soon as he got in. Maura Downs: And now ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for...

FATAL FOUR WAY ELIMINATION BATTLE ROYAL

SAM HAIN VS ENDER VS CAVEMAN VS LAYTON MATTHEWS

WORLD OF PAIN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Maura Downs: And up next, what a match we have for you, a Fatal Four Way Elimination Battle Royal...

Louis Carvanelie: And don't forget Maura, that added extra... Yes, that's right people, THIS ONE IS HARDCORE!!!

Maura Downs: Indeed it is Louis, AND IT'S FOR THE WORLD OF PAIN CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Louis Carvanelie: Sam Hain, Caveman, Ender and the Champion, Layton Matthews... This match is going to be something!!

Maura Downs: And here comes the first wrestler in this match to enter the ring... Ender...

'In The End' hits the arena, and Ender jumps into the arena, ready for this match as 'In The End' plays over the PA system and Ender runs down to the ring. He is bouncing about, shaking himself off and loosening up as his theme music dies down and he watches the entrance ramp, as 'American Bad Ass' now plays over the PA system and Sam Hain appears on the ramp. The fans give him a good pop as he runs down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring, looking eye to eye with Ender. They both turn to the entrance ramp once more as 'You Should Be Dancing' replaces 'American Bad Ass' and Caveman appears at the top of the ramp. He folds his arms and looks at the two men in the ring, ready to begin this match, as he makes his way down the ramp slowly, but Ender blindsides Sam Hain from behind and begins kicking at his back, stomping a mudhole in him. Sam Hain gets to his feet and Ender whips him into the ropes before whipping him into the ropes, and driving his elbow into Hains face. He rears back and drives his elbow into his face again and again. Hain falls down to the middle rope, trying to keep on his feet but Ender hits him down with a boot to the chest then begins stomping him into the corner. As 'Never Duplicated' hits the arena and the champion Layton Matthews runs down to the ring, grabbing Cavemans head and ramming it into the side of the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and spearing Ender into the mat as he turns around. Sam Hain pulls himself up and walks out from the corner, into a sidewalk slam and elbow combination, as Layton gets to his feet and drags Sam Hain up too, as Caveman slides under the bottom rope, and aims a big boot at Sam Hain, but Hain moves and Caveman smacks Matthews straight in his face, knocking him down. Sam Hain jumps over Layton Matthews and elbows Caveman in the face, before throwing as many punches as he can, knocking Caveman back into the ropes, as Caveman leans against them and Sam Hain clothslines him over the top rope, but Caveman lands on his feet holding his face.

Maura Downs: This match has started off explosively, and we haven't even introduced any weapons yet!

Louis Carvanelie: Remember this is a Hardcore match, anything is legal...

Maura Downs: True, and Falls Count Anywhere too...

Louis Carvanelie: They do?

Maura Downs: Yes, Louis they do, do your research before a match will you!?

Sam Hain turns around and Layton Matthews twists Hains arm around and wrenches him to the mat. Hain hits the mat and Layton drags him back to his feet, placing his arm around his back then throwing him into the turnbuckle. Hain hits the turnbuckle hard and Layton lets go, turning into a clothsline from Ender. Ender grabs Laytons head, and holds onto it as he runs up Hains back and hits a bulldog on Layton. Layton goes down and Ender turns his attention to Hain who has turned in the corner. Ender puts Hain on the top rope and climbs to the second. Ender looks for the frankensteiner, BUT HAIN REVERSES INTO A SIT-DOWN POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE!!

Maura Downs: Ender must be broken in half dammit, what a counter from Sam Hain!

Louis Carvanelie: We knew all four men were going to give everything they had, but we haven't even had any weapons yet.

Maura Downs: I said that a second ago.

Louis Carvanelie: Shut up.

Sam Hain turns to Layton Matthews who is getting to his feet, and Sam Hain and Layton Matthews then engage in a violent fist fight, trading rights and lefts in the centre of the ring. Sam Hain gets the advantage and whips Layton into the ropes, but Layton flies back and knocks Hain down with a shoulder block, before driving his elbow into Hains chest. Sam Hain rolls to the side of the ring, as Layton kicks Hain out of the ring. Ender has now got to his feet and he looks for the Finale Kick, but Layton grabs his foot, and throws it down, before spinning Ender around and clothslining him to the mat. Ender holds the back of his head but Layton drags him back to his feet and tries to suplex him to the mat, but Ender counters, and hits a suplex of his own, keeping a hold of the waist and hitting another. Layton looks to roll onto his front but Ender drags him back and makes the cover, but Matthews kicks out at 1. Ender climbs to the top rope and watches Layton Matthews get to his feet, but Caveman climbs up onto the apron, AND PUSHES ENDER OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR ON THE OUTSIDE!! Ender crashes to the floor and Layton looks to punch Caveman off the apron, but Caveman moves back, avoiding the impact, and then hits a stiff right on Layton, before stepping over the top rope. Layton jumps back at him and hits a couple of rights but Caveman pie faces him to the mat. Layton rolls through and back to his feet before jumping at Caveman again, but Caveman grabs a hold of Layton, and rushes him into the corner, crushing him into the turnbuckle!! Layton collapses to the mat and Caveman begins choking him with his huge boot, as Sam Hain steps into the ring and hits Caveman across the back. Caveman turns into a standing dropkick from Hain which knocks him back into the corner, luckily missing Matthews who rolled out of the ring. Sam Hain steps up on the second turnbuckle and begins laying punches on Caveman as the crowd chant along..... 1.......2.......3.......4........5.......6........7.........8........9...... AAAAAAAND..... NO!! Caveman lifts Hain into the air, and powerbombs him into the mat!! He hooks the leg, but somehow Hain kicks out...

Maura Downs: What a powerbomb by Caveman, and somehow Hain kicked out!!

Louis Carvanelie: And now Layton is back in the ring and he's up on the top turnbuckle!!

Maura Downs: MISSILE DROPKICK!!

Caveman stumbles back and trips over Hains body and crashes to the mat. Layton gets to his feet and hooks the leg on Sam Hain, but again Hain kicks out. Layton rolls Hain out of the ring, and begins an assault on Caveman, dropping consecutive elbows, legdrops and fist drops onto the big man in attempt to wear him down. Caveman makes an attempt to get to his feet, but Layton is quick to kick him back down. Caveman kicks Layton away finally, and gets to his feet, as Ender slides into the ring with a chair!! He runs at Layton and swings with the chair, BUT LAYTON DUCKS AND ENDER CRACKS THE CHAIR ACROSS CAVEMANS HEAD!! Caveman is still on his feet though, and Ender looks around at Layton, who shrugs his shoulders... Ender places the chair across Cavemans face, as Caveman is dazed, and Layton Matthews smiles as he gets the idea, AND DROPKICKS THE CHAIR INTO CAVEMANS FACE, SENDING HIM TO THE MAT!! Caveman goes down and rolls under the bottom rope before he can be pinned. Ender is busy leaning over the top rope, yelling at Caveman, when Layton dropkicks him from behind and he topples over the top rope! Layton raises his arms into the air and the crowd boo loudly.

Maura Downs: There is the World Of Pain Champion, Layton Matthews, standing tall in the ring.

Louis Carvanelie: And don't forget, he is also the number one contender for the Universal Championship!

Maura Downs: And Sam Hain has slid into the ring behind Matthews, and he hasn't seen!!

Sam Hain waits for Layton Matthews to turn, before kicking him in the stomach, AND DDTING HIM ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!! Layton hits the chair and it cuts him open a little as Sam Hain makes the cover... 1....2....(Layton kicks out) Hain can't believe it, as he drags Matthews up to his feet, and european uppercuts him into the corner. Hain climbs to the second turnbuckle, before hitting a monkey flip onto Matthews and going for the cover, but Ender is on the top rope, AND HE DIVES OFF INTO A LEGDROP, BUT HAIN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND MATTHEWS GETS THE WHOLE IMPACT!! Ender gets to his feet and Hain looks for the Finale Kick, Enders finisher, but Ender ducks and sweeps Hains feet away from him. Hain falls to the mat and Ender nips to his feet, dropping a leg across Hains throat. He pulls him to his feet and locks his arms around the waist, looking for a German Suplex, and he hits it. He holds onto the waist and gets to his feet, and hits another German Suplex. Hain is again brought up to his feet, and hit with a release German Suplex. Layton Matthews turns onto his front and drapes an arm over Hain as Ender looks on, wanting Hain to be the first to be eliminated, BUT HAIN KICKS OUT!! Sam Hain kicked out and Ender immediately goes back to work, kicking at his back and trying to keep him down. Stiff kicks bring Hain into the corner and Ender drags him up, before sitting him on the top rope. He steps up onto the second turnbuckle, but Layton Matthews is up and he comes to the corner, pulling Ender onto his shoulders, and HAIN DIVES OFF HITTING A CROSSBODY FROM THE TOP!! Hain, Ender and Matthews crash to the mat but Ender is looking worse out of that because he had the combined electric chair drop and crossbody delivered to him.

Maura Downs: A unique double team there, and if they can just cover Ender, we'll have our first elimination!

Louis Carvanelie: Caveman is up though, and he has just dragged Hain out of the ring, AND HIT A HUGE CLOTHSLINE ON HAIN!!

Caveman climbs up onto the apron and steps over the top rope as Ender pulls himself up by the ropes in the corner, ONLY TO BE SQUASHED BY THE NUTCRACKER!! Caveman then turns and slaps a hand across Laytons throat, and hits a huge chokeslam on the champion!! He hits the ropes, BUT HAIN ON THE OUTSIDE CRACKS A KENDO STICK IN HALF ON CAVEMANS BACK!! Caveman stumbles forward and Hain is still recovering on the outside, despite cracking that kendo stick in half on Cavemans back. Caveman gets an angry look in his eyes as he ignores Ender and Layton and steps over the top rope, before dropping a double axe handle on Sam Hain. Hain hits the floor hard and Caveman isn't finished, as he lifts Hain to his feet, and lifts him high, before dropping his head straight onto the ring apron!! Hain bounces off the ring apron and is reeling as Caveman approaches him again, and chops him across the chest. Hain gets knocked back into the crowd barrier and is knocked to the floor with another leg wobbling chop! Caveman grabs a hold of Hain and throws him into the side of the ring, and Hain makes an attempt to get away, sliding under the ring!!

Maura Downs: What the hell is this??

Louis Carvanelie: Sam Hain is being smart, escaping the insane Caveman!

Maura Downs: But Caveman isn't going to let him get away that easy...

Caveman pulls up the ring apron and begins searching under the ring. He pulls out a ladder, a table, and all manner of other weapons, and he looks confused that he hasn't found Sam Hain. BUT SAM HAIN APPEARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!! Caveman is still looking under the apron, but he pops his head up for a second, only to be knocked down by a baseball slide from Hain. Hain grabs the ladder and throws it down on Caveman before setting it up and grabbing a table, and setting the table up as well. Caveman gets to his feet and Sam Hain jumps up on the apron, before missile dropkicking him into the crowd barrier!! Caveman stumbles to his feet and Hain gets up throwing rights at Caveman until he leans him across the table, but Caveman slides off the table, and PUSHES THE LADDER OVER, AND SAM HAIN FALLS STRAIGHT INTO THE CROWD!! Caveman laughs and Sam Hain is no longer seen from the cameras, as Caveman pushes the ladder into the ring, but it's only halfway in as he slides in. Matthews has gotten to his feet though, and Caveman hasn't noticed. He bends down to pick up the ladder, BUT LAYTON LEGDROPS ONE END OF THE LADDER, SENDING THE OTHER END INTO CAVEMANS FACE!! Caveman falls backwards and Ender now gets up onto the top rope, BEFORE HITTING A FROG SPLASH ON CAVEMAN!! BUT NO!! CAVEMAN ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!! Ender crashes to the mat and Caveman, Ender, Layton and Hain are all down!!

Maura Downs: This is absolute chaos!! They are killing eachother out there!!!

Louis Carvanelie: That's what EWA is all about Maura!! Sometimes you gotta sacrifice yourself to hurt others!

Maura Downs: AND WE STILL HAVEN'T HAD AN ELIMINATION YET!!

All four men are down and the ref doesn't know what to do. He stares around at the bodies, with the exception of Hain, who is somewhere amongst the crowd.

Maura Downs: The ref is at a loss to decide what to do.

Louis Carvanelie: He can't possibly stop this match though, who would be champion?

Maura Downs: I don't know, but he needs to consider the wrestlers conditions! Layton just sacrificed himself to take out Caveman, and Caveman managed to roll out of the way of an already battered Ender, and Sam Hain is lost in the crowd, after falling from a damn ladder!!

Louis Carvanelie: Hang on, Layton is getting to his feet!! AND SO IS CAVEMAN!!

Layton is getting to his feet on the outside and Caveman is now on one knee in the ring. They lock eyes and Layton rolls into the ring, staring a hole into Caveman. Caveman shows no intimidation to the champ, and the champ shows no intimidation to the giant. Caveman slaps a hand across Laytons throat, BUT LAYTON KICKS CAVEMAN LOW!! Caveman is bent double, and Layton now pulls the ladder in, and throws it into the corner where Caveman is. The ladder covers Caveman as Layton runs at it, hitting a crossbody on the ladder, crushing Caveman!! That took a lot of Layton too, but Caveman looks a little worse. Both ladder and Caveman are still in the corner though and Layton grabs a chair. He sets it up just before the corner... He's going to use it as a stepping block but as he runs foward, Ender manages to drop toe hold the champ, sending his face straight into the steel chair!! The chair bends awkwardly and the ref checks on Layton. Ender grabs the bent chair as Layton gets to his feet slowly, ENDER SWINGS, LAYTON DUCKS, AND ENDER KNOCKED OUT THE DAMN REFEREE!!!

Maura Downs: MY GOD WHAT A SHOT THAT WAS, AND THE REF IS KNOCKED OUT COLD!!

Louis Carvanelie: And as EMTs rush on the scene, you have to wonder, how can this match continue without a ref... HEY SOMEONE, ANYONE, COME OUT AND REF THIS MATCH!!

Ender looks shocked at the bloody referee as he drops the chair and turns, STRAIGHT INTO THE SHOWCASE FINALE!! 1.....2.....3....But there's no referee to make the cover... Layton leans over the top rope, looking hopefully up at the ramp, as he turns, STRAIGHT INTO A CHOKESLAM ONTO A LADDER!!! Caveman slides the ladder out of the ring, and makes the cover. 1.....2.....3..... But again, there is no referee!! Caveman gets to his feet and looks around at the bodies lying around him. Sam Hain has just crawled over the ring barrier, as a referee is running down to the ring. Hain searches under the apron and pulls out a fire extinguisher, as Caveman covers as the referee slides into the ring... 1.....2.....Caveman spots Sam Hain and gets up, runs foward for a clothsline but Sam Hain fires the fire extinguisher into Cavemans eyes, and Caveman stumbles back into the ropes, as Sam Hain runs foward, AND KNOCKS CAVEMAN OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A DEVASTATING SHOT IN BETWEEN THE EYES!!! Sam Hain then jumps up on the top rope, and hits a springboard legdrop on Caveman as the ref is preoccupied with Ender, who has draped an arm over Layton Matthews, perhaps by accident. Caveman is covered, and Sam Hain has him pinned, but the ref decides to make the count with Ender and Layton as they are in the ring and he can check on the shoulders. 1.....2.....NO! NO! NO!! LAYTON KICKED OUT!!!

Maura Downs: That must have been instinct there!! Layton is out of it, and so is Ender. I don't even think Ender realised he had the cover!!

Louis Carvanelie: And now the ref is on the outside, finally making the count on Caveman.

Maura Downs: 1.....2.....3!! NO!!! CAVEMAN KICKED OUT!! How the hell are these superstars doing this??

Louis Carvanelie: It's all about the World Of Pain title Maura!

Caveman is bleeding and is scrambling about as Sam Hain crawls up the steel steps, and Caveman is wiping blood from his eyes, pulling himself up using the crowd barrier! Hain jumps off for the axe handle, but Caveman catches him, and with all the energy he can muster, throws him over his shoulders with a standing belly to belly suplex, STRAIGHT INTO THE REFEREE!!

Maura Downs: ANOTHER DAMN REFEREE DOWN, AND THIS IS TOTAL ANARCHY!

Louis Carvanelie: No rules, anything goes, and that is the second referee to have been taken out of things in this violent match!!

Maura Downs: What more can happen, how much more can these men put themselves through!!

Louis Carvanelie: What a Tsunami, AND STILL NO-ONE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!! And everyone is down!

Ender gets to his feet, and stumbles around, as Caveman slides into the ring, AND GETS THE FINALE KICK!! Ender hit his finisher on Caveman, who goes down, and he turns around, spotting Layton getting to his feet. Layton gets to his feet clutching his back, and Ender goes for the Finale Kick, but Layton manages to move out of the way, AND LOCKS IN THE SCALES OF ST LAYTON!! Ender struggles in the hold for a while, then taps out, but there's no referee!! Layton flings Ender away and slaps the turnbuckle in frustration.

Maura Downs: This match should have ended by now, but two referees have been knocked out cold.

Louis Carvanelie: This match could go on damn near forever, and all four of the wrestlers are killing themselves!

Caveman pulls himself up by the ropes, and his eyes are near enough shut and the rope sags a lot under his weight as he stumbles foward, INTO THE SHOWCASE FINALE!! Caveman stumbles around on his feet still, UNTIL LAYTON DELIVERS ANOTHER SHOWCASE FINALE!! Layton celebrates taking the giant down and doesn't see Sam Hain slide into the ring, as Layton turns, AND SAM HAIN HITS LAYTONS FINISHER ON HIM!! Sam Hain stumbles back as a referee runs to the ring, just as Ender is placed onto the top turnbuckle, and Hain hooks him, BEFORE HITTING THE FINAL DESCENT!! The ref slides into the ring, and Sam Hain hooks the leg. 1....2....3!! Ender has been eliminated!!

Maura Downs: We have our first elimination, and it's Ender!!

Louis Carvanelie: And now Hains making the cover on Layton. 1.....2.....3!! NO, LAYTON GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!

Maura Downs: But he isn't going to give up, he is covering Caveman now. 1.....2....FOOT ON THE ROPES!!

Hain can't believe it as he pulls Cavemans feet off the ropes, and hooks the leg. 1.......2........(Caveman kicks out) Hain stands up and turns into a fishermans suplex from Layton as Layton now makes the cover on Caveman. 1.....2....(Caveman gets the shoulder up) Layton turns and Hain is up and Hain knocks Layton back with a right hand, and Layton responds with one of his own as Layton pulls Hain into a headlock, and Hain pushes Layton into the ropes and bends down ready for the back body drop, but Layton kicks him in the face and sends Hain to his feet, THEN HITS THE SHOWCASE FINALE!! Caveman gets to his feet and looks extremely angry as he grabs Layton by the throat but Layton kicks low. He slips out of the ring and grabs a chair as Caveman is bent double. He slides back into the ring and runs at Caveman, who punches the chair back into his face! He goes to pick Layton up for the powerbomb, but Layton still has the chair, and cracks it across his skull twice, landing on him. 1....2......3!! Caveman has been eliminated!!!

Maura Downs: And now we are down to two! Layton Matthews and Sam Hain!

Louis Carvanelie: Hain doesn't look too good here though.

Maura Downs: What a kick to the face from Layton Matthews there!

Layton kicks Hain straight in the face and then begins punching Hain face into the mat, as Hain pulls the ropes down in an attempt to get to his feet. Layton throws a punch, but Hain blocks it and hits a haymaker of his own. Layton falls back but comes at Hain with another right, and again Hain blocks it and hits a right of his own, before lifting Layton on his shoulders, and hitting a shoulderbreaker on Matthews. Layton goes down and gets to his feet as Hain again gets him on his shoulders, and lifts him high above his head, before dropping him with a gorilla press slam! Layton hits the mat hard and then crawls to the corner, getting to his feet, Hain runs foward for the splash, BUT LAYTON MOVES, AND HITS THE SHOWCASE FINALE FOR THE FORTH TIME IN THIS MATCH!! Hain is down.

Maura Downs: LAYTONS GOING TO RETAIN THE WORLD OF PAIN CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Louis Carvanelie: He's got the cover... 1.........2.........What the hell is this?

The lights in the arena shut down and 'I'm Going to Kill You' explodes from the PA system, as 'Kill You' blasts forth now, and the lights come on. Layton is in the ring and Hain is still down, and Layton is looking around everywhere to see if Butcher is coming for a sneak attack. Butcher appears on the ramp with the Universal Championship and he's pointing at Layton. Layton leans against the ropes and begins yelling at Butcher, but Hain is getting to his feet. Butcher smiles and points behind him as Layton turns, and Hain slips something onto his hands... IT'S BRASS KNUCKS!! Layton turns straight into a shot to the face from the brass knucks! Hain then hits the ropes, and splashes Layton Matthews into the ring, before hooking the leg. 1......2......3......SAM HAIN IS THE NEW WORLD OF PAIN CHAMPION!!!

Maura Downs: Sam Hain is our new World of Pain Champion, with a little help from Butcher and those brass knucks!

Louis Carvanelie: Butcher warning Layton that he isn't going to be getting the title anytime soon.

Maura Downs: Layton isn't going to like this one bit, and I can't wait for Layton/Butcher, for the Universal Championship!

Sam Hain is laughing in the ring as 'Go To Sleep' hits the PA system, and Dave Chain steps out on the entrance ramp with a microphone to thunderous boos from the crowd.

Dave Chain: EEEEEEER-HMMMMM!! Hold on just a second... First, congratulations Sam Hain, for winning the World Of Pain Championship. Yes, well done indeed. However, like I said, I'm going to make big, big things happen here, and one of the things Hain, concerns that newly won championship of yours! It seems the championship needs, well, freshening up. Ever watched the WWE when they had the Hardcore belt? Remember a little rule that came into play, called the 24/7 rule? That's right Hain, YOU are going to have to defend that championship 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!!! Starting.......... NOW!!!!

Sam Hain turns STRAIGHT INTO A SHOT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!! It's a Masked Man!! He hooks the leg and the ref counts Hain down... 1..... 2..... 3......!!!

Maura Downs: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? THE WORLD OF PAIN TITLE TO BE DEFENDED AGAINST 24/7!!

Louis Carvanelie: The worst part of this is we've got another damn Masked Man in the EWA, and now he's a frikkin champion!!

Maura Downs: This is insane... But we are running out of time, that's it for Tsunami...

Tsunami ends with The Masked Man exiting through the crowd with the World Of Pain Championship, and bodies in the ring, as Dave Chain stands up on the ramp, laughing like a madman!
