The Inside Scoop
30/09/02
The real reason for the "If you don't roleplay for this match then you get fired match" at Havoc II, was to find out how much determination and intrest the people involved had for the EWCL. It turned out that 6 out of the 9 in the match didn't feel the need to do a promo, therefore they were rightfully fired from the company. Wrestlers that were in other matches on the card and also didn't rp, did not get fired. However it didn't do them any good and its not out of the question that the EWCL will have another "rp or get fired" match someday soon.
The reason that Ex-Terminator and Cable did not have a match at Havoc II and that Ex-T got stripped from the title also had to do with it that they didn't rp for the match itself. Simple as that. What will happen to the Extreme Title is unclear at this moment. A possibility is that a tournament will be held, another option is to put two wrestlers in a match for the title. Or the third option is to retire the title.
The reason that Thorn looked slow in the ring is because he hasn't been training lately. He did decide to show up at ringside and tried to make Jerry Campbell look good. On the other side, don't expect Thorn in the ring anytime soon.
This was truely Rick O'Connors last match in the EWCL. He has retired and left before, but this was really his last performance. He had a great career in the EWCL and the writing staff finds it regretful that he leaves forgood now.
On the other hand it is more than likely that Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt won't be on tv in a while. From one side because of his injuries of his match with O'Connor and The Punisher attack. But on the other side because Cazzo thinks he stood in the spotlight too much lately and its time that storylines involve more around the new stars of the company. One of those stars is Belton, who even amazed Cazzo with his idea for the adoption angle, which was quite funny according to the president. During his abscense it looks like Commissioner John Pilchard will get a bigger role in the shows.
There were a couple of alternate endings for after the Main Event match at Havoc II. It was unclear till the very end what would happen after Christ defeated Dangerous in the Triple Tier Cage match. One of the other ideas was to have the New Evolution vs. Cerberus/Eleven/Ex-Terminator battle take place after that Cerberus had attacked Chris Christ. However the writing staff decided not to go for this option and put this stable war angle earlier in the show.
Talking about the New Evolution. It looks like Joey and Aaron Gold will get a push in the tagteam division. The same can be said about the team off Cerberus and Xavier "Eleven" Byrne. At this moment though both Cerberus and Xavier Byrne won't step in the ring for next Insurgence. Cerberus is suffering mild injuries after his match with Drake Laps. And Xavier Byrne is doing promotional work in Scotland.
Why did Exile return to the EWCL after he left to the IWF? Thats the question. Exile no showed at IWF's Back to School, but did show up at Havoc II. Its also not sure wether or not the IWF can hold Exile to his contract since he is their Commissioner. All that Exile had to say was that something big was gonna happen.
Everyone backstage was real excited and satisfied of how Havoc turned out to be. All the matches were of good quality, especially the Drake Laps vs. Cerberus, the Cazzo vs. The Rage and the Christ vs. Dangerous match.
Finally the EWCL have signed three new stars namely "Thuglife" Shaun Marquez, Conrad Slade and "Rising Star" Sean Campbell who gets his third and final try in the EWCL.
