EWA Present: Tsunami

( "King of My World" by Saliva hits, and the illustrious Jayson Keller comes out from behind the curtains. The arena errupts with boos, they don't want to see Jayson Keller out here. Jayson walks onto the stay, ignoring their reaction, and fixes his suite. Placing himself in the middle of the ramp, with the spotlight shining on him, Jayson pulls out a microphone from his jacket and holds it up. He breaths in deeply, only to recieve a chorus of hissing and boos. Jayson holds up his hand to shush them, which seems to only kindle their flame more. After several seconds, they die down long enough for Keller to begin speaking. )

Jayson Keller: If there is one thing Jayson Keller isn't, its a liar. Well, okay, I am a liar. I admit that. (Jayson flashes a smile.) Btu right now, I plan on keeping my word. Two months ago I said that ole JK would slowly fade from television as soon as Pandemonium hit the airwaves. Well, here we are, one week from the big Pay Per View, and Jayson is looking at the stop sign. Its read, I see it. I know you all see it.

( The fans explode with cheers. Jayson lowers and shakes his head in disgust. )

Jayson Keller: That's fine. That's okay. I don't need your approval to be on television. I'm not doing this for YOU, not YOU fans. I'm doing this for me. As many of you know, I'm the only reason this federation is alive. It's because of me that EWA is breathing instead of six feet under where Gary Mac wanted it. He put his federation up for auction, and you're all damn lucky I signed up for it. I put all my money on the line to have my own personal play ground. This is my property. I do what I want, and I do it for myself. With that being said, I've had my fun for two weeks, and it's time I went on leave.

( The fans once again agree by cheering. Jayson nods. )

Jayson Keller: Thank you, thank you. I know you're going to miss me, there's no reason to cry now. I will be back someday. This place was made by me, it'll die with me. That's why I'm out here right now. That's why I'm opening the show with my own egomaniac ways. Why the hell not? Every other owner does it. Why not give myself the spot light? Who the hell deserves it more? You fans? Certainly not. The roster in the back? Hell no. That's why I pay THEM, because I own them and with that, they give me their services for little pay. If it were the other way around, don't you think they'd be out here? No. Because I sign the checks, and they don't question the man with the pen. That's why I, Jayson Keller, have decided to leave. Because while I'm tossing all my money to the poor pathetic wrestlers in the back, I'm not seeing much beach time. Where's the Keller moments? So I'm going to DEDUCT wrestler's pay, and take a trip to the Bahams. I've come out here, in front of you loyal Houston, Texas fans to say goodbye. I won't be back in a long time. You fans suck, those people in the back suck, and -

( Suddenly Keller is interrupted by violens playing. The Kellertron flashes:

PTB

: Everyone is confused. )

Maura Downs: PTB? The Powers That Be? But I thought Keller was the Powers That Be?

Jayson Keller: What the hell is this? What the hell is this? Stop it, shut off that music. Get that off my screen! No one interrupts me.

( Someone comes out in a business suit, gelled hair, and microphone in hand. )

Jayson Keller: Did you not hear me? No one interrupts the owner of this company!

Man: Ah, that's just the problem, Mr Keller. You're NOT the owner of this company. It's a horrible change in events, Mr Keller. If you'd like to check the papers to clarify everything I'm saying, then by all means, do so. But while you read, please listen closely.

( The business man hands Keller the papers. Keller scans with a frown on his face. )

Man: I'm sure you're confused, so allow me to introduce myself. I'm Patrick T. Bannion. Multi-millionaire, might I add. Two months ago, you bought the EWA under a contract that stated it was purely a test run. They wanted to see what you, Jayson Keller, could do with this company, and where you would take it. Well, you had your chance, and nothing happened. That's why I, Patrick Bannion, have managed to talk to the companies in line to buy off EWA, and we agreed. Your contract is up, and its time for you to re-sign.

Jayson Keller: That's not a problem, just hand me the pen and -

Patrick T. Bannion: I'm afraid you don't understand, Mr Keller. I said it was time for you to re-sign, I never said we wanted you to. This company, EWA, as you call it, is not up for grabs once again. And someone just bought it. I'm sorry, you missed your chance to sign it over.

Jayson Keller: What?! You can't do this to me. Who signed? I'll kill him!

Patrick T. Bannion: You're looking at him. And I wouldn't suggest killing me, in fact, I wouldn't even suggest looking at me wrong. If I so much as hear you blink, you'll be tossed from the building. With that being said, I'd like to introduce you to my business associates.

( Huge men in suites come out onto stage. Keller counts about ten of them. )

Patrick T. Bannion: These are the men that will keep order when I'm not around, or simply just too busy. I don't wnat you to think that your job wasn't appreciated, and to prove that, I want to offer you a contract. You're not gone from the business. EWA couldn't strive without you. IF you wish to sign the contract, you know where to find me.

( The violens begin playing once again, as PTB exits the ramp to the back. Keller stands there, holding his papers in disbelief, as the fans are going crazy for the demotion of Good Ole JK. )

Maura Downs: Christian Cage has been on fire as World Of Pain Champion recently, and Bean is the next one up to step up to the challenge.

Louis Carvenelie: Cage better remember that after Pandemonium, his title is going to be even more sought after, as both the TV and US titles are unified with the Universal Championship. That means only the Tag Team, World of Pain and Universal titles will remain.

Maura Downs: But with both the US and TV titles on the line tonight, the participants in the Unification match are still undecided.

Louis Carvenelie: Christian Cage is going to be looking to conserve his energy as he has a shot against Tommy Purrs TV title tonight, and ultimately, a spot in the main event of Pandemonium, for the Universal Championship.

Maura Downs: Not to diminish any of the titles Louis, but Cage has to realise that the main event means more than this title defence right here, and Bean can take advantage of that. Cage isn't going to want to take too many risks.

( Cage locks up with Bean and puts Bean into a headlock, as Bean moves around the back and puts Cage in a headlock, and whips him into the ropes, and bends down for maybe a back body drop, but Cage stops and puts Bean into a front headlock, and takes Bean down with a swinging neckbreaker. He then puts a hammerlock armbar on Bean, and wrenches back on the arm. Bean yells in pain, as he makes his way to his feet, as he reaches back and rakes the eyes, and turns around, going for a clothsline, but Cage ducks out of the way, and puts Bean in a sleeper hold. Bean begins to fade, but manages to escape the hold and hit the ropes, running straight into a dropkick from Cage. Cage makes the cover. 1.....2.....Bean kicks out! )

Maura Downs: Notice Cages offence is submission based, trying to wear Bean down but still conserve his energy for later tonight. Smart veteran tactics that you could argue are a necessity for tonight.

Louis Carvenelie: Very true Maura, but Cage needs to be careful, because this is a World Of Pain Championship match, which means... yup, this match could go hardcore.

Maura Downs: Cage won't want that to happen, and if Bean utilizes the rules to his advantage, Cage could be in serious trouble tonight.

( Bean gets to his feet, and goes to kick Cage, but Cage catches the boot, and hits a legsweep, and pulls Bean into a half boston crab. Bean crawls his way to the ropes, and manages to grab a hold of the bottom rope, but Cage pulls him back, and drops an elbow across his back. Cage puts Bean in a bow and arrow position now and Bean screams out louder, as Cage pulls back on the hold, and increases the pressure. He releases the hold and hooks the leg. 1.....2......Bean kicks out. Cage and Bean get to their feet and Bean goes for a roundhouse kick, but Cage ducks, and spinebusters Bean down. He goes to the outside and throws up the ring apron, and searches under the ring. He pulls out a kendo stick and rolls back into the ring, and meanwhile Bean has got to his feet. Cage swings the kendo stick but Bean ducks, and then he swings it at Beans feet but Bean jumps and then dropkicks Cage into the corner, and causes him to drop the kendo stick. Bean picks up the stick, and runs at Cage in the corner, taking a big swing, but Cage moves out of the way and kicks Bean in the gut, and drops him with a DDT. )

Maura Downs: Cage doing his best to avoid anything that could hamper his chances later on tonight, and it looks as if its working.

Louis Carvenelie: Bean has got to be getting frustrated now, and he doesnt look too happy.

( Bean pulls himself to his feet, and Cage is waiting with a right hand, which Bean blocks, and hits a flapjack straight onto the turnbuckle. Cage hits the turnbuckle and bounces back into the ring, and then Bean proceeds to rip away the padding on the turnbuckle, exposing the steel ring. He goes back to Cage, who drives the point of his elbow into Beans ribs, and then fireman carries him over, and nips up, dropkicking Bean in the back. Bean goes down and Cage is quick with the cover, but Bean kicks out again. Bean gets to his feet and Cage hits goes for a short-arm clothsline, but Bean catches his arm, and takes him down with an armbar takedown, and locks in a crossface, but Cage rolls out of it, and to his feet, hits the ropes and ducks a right from Bean, hitting the opposite ropes but running straight into a powerslam by Bean. Bean begins furiously beating down on Cage now with stiff kicks, and and elbow right to the throat. He whips Cage into the turnbuckle, and clothslines him in the corner, before dragging him out and snapmaring him, and hitting a stiff kick to the back. )

Maura Downs: This isn't good now for Cage, as Bean has caught up with him.

Louis Carvenelie: Bean is showing no mercy, he wants the World of Pain title!!

( Bean throws Cage down and drops another elbow, and then drags Cage to the edge of the ring. He places Cage on the second rope and then hits the opposite ropes, before driving his knee into Cages back, sending Cage out of the ring and to the floor. Bean slides under the bottom rope and grabs a hold of Cage, ramming his head into the apron and sliding him back into the ring. He searches under the apron and grabs a trash can lid, as Cage grabs the kendo stick inside the ring. Bean slides in, and drags Cage to his feet, but Cage throws him off, and delivers a shot with the kendo stick!! Bean goes down and rolls out of the ring, but Cage slides out of the ring and chases Bean who is trying to regain himself on the outside. Cage follows Bean and runs him into the steel steps!! Bean crashes against the steel steps and Cage doesn't let up, kicking Bean against the steps, and then picking him up, and rolling him into the ring. He rolls into the ring with him, and gets to his feet. )

Maura Downs: I think Bean has pissed Cage off, and now he's in for an ass whooping!

Louis Carvenelie: It's been well documented that Bean has had numerous shots at the TV title. Last week was his last for a while, but can he capture the World Of Pain title tonight.

( Bean eye rakes Cage and whips him into the ropes but misses with a clothsline, and Cage turns around and hits him with a chop, but Bean responds with a chop of his own, but misses a second, as Cage sweeps his legs from under him, and locks in the Sharpshooter!! Bean taps!! )

Maura Downs: Christian Cage has defended his championship, and he's saved a little energy for later tonight, where he'll face Tommy Purr for the TV title, in a Cage match!

Louis Carvenelie: What a match, and Cage managed to avoid lots of possible injury inducing incidents as well.

( The Kellertron flicks on and draws the fans attention as a beaten and bruised Dave Chain hobbles into the arena, and walks straight past the new tag team Bouchet and Rock. He stops and walks back to them. They turn to him. )

Bouchet: Hey Dave Chain, nice to meet you. I'm Tyler Bouchet and this is Kyle Rock.

( Dave Chain snaps back)

Dave Chain : I know who you are, I booked the damn match you are in next. A shot at the tag team titles ey, and I want to see something special from you. Remember, you are only young and new to the EWA. There's plenty of time for titles, but damn it, impress me. Make me take notice. Make an impact!!

( Dave Chain walks off leaving Bouchet and and Rock a little bewildered. )

Patrick T. Bannion: No, I don't think so. The titles are vacated. Hain lost due to an incomplete team, this match is THROWN OUT. You people seem to be fighting for those titles like they mean something important, so there will be a match at the ppv for the titles. As of right now, NO ONE holds the titles. In fact, you all just wrestled for no reason, because this match didn't happen. No one gets the win. Applaud yourselves.

( PTB leaves to mixed reactions.)
