The Inside Scoop #2
07/10/02
Everyone backstage was pretty impressed by the main event match by Exile and Chris Christ at Insurgence. It was a real good thing to see that Exile hasn't lost his inring skills while he was in the IWF. The Chris Christ hospital angle, wasn't entirely an angle as he really was injured. Christ will now take a few weeks off to recover totally and to spent some time with his girlfriend Michelle Heart aswell.
Talking about breaks, Jerry Campbell won't appear on the next show. The Prime Time Champion has personal obligations as he has to attend a wedding.
On the other hand, Cerberus and Xavier "Eleven" Byrne will return on Insurgence and they will take on the Gold Boyz in a tagmatch. Aaron and Joey Gold are really psyched up about being able to work together as a team. It was a dream of both brothers to tag in a federation together.
The New Royal Family storyline is not a way to boost up the ratings. The EWCL spokesperson said that all four individuals (Exile, MacBeth, Corvik, Monroe) in this stable are real excited to come back to the EWCL. In one way or the other all four have a past in the EWCL and are happy to be back again. The fact that Christ is taking a break is a bit off a downfall though, since now other superstars have to step up and try to stop these "Four Horsemen of Apocalypse". Drake Laps, Jerry Campbell, Nick Dangerous and Stephen Jackson are some of the wrestlers that are named often backstage to move up the ladder now.
At the moment it is a bit unclear where Blade is standing. Will he join The New Royal Family? Will he make up with Drake Laps to try to stand up against his brother Exile? Or is he just gonna let it all go and concentrate on his own game?
The reason why The Punisher is now also focussing on guys like Belton, "Thuglife" Shaun Marquez and Sean Campbell has nothing to do with it that The Punisher can't cut it anymore in the main event matches. It is because he wants to help the younger kids to improve. Punisher, one of the most experienced wrestlers in the EWCL, feels like it is his duty to bring these guys to the next stage.
After the Holy Shit Awards there was a bit party and most of the EWCL roster attented it. Witnesses say that Neil Down tried to get in the pants of Jezebelle, but that she responded by kicking the crap out of him. This also explains why Neil Down had a bruise in his face during Insurgence.
Some people are wondering why Nick Dangerous has a titleshot at Exile on the next Insurgence. Some voices say that Dangerous has been slacking and messing up ever since the EWCL Canadian Tour and these voices say that Dangerous does not deserve this second title shot for the Universal Title in 3 weeks time. However the staff thinks that Dangerous is still one of the biggest assest in the company and thats why they gave him another opportunity.
Finally there are rumours spreading around the internet that another former EWCL star will be returning. Who and when is still very vague. All what can be said is that Joe Johnson was backstage at last Insurgence to check out the impact his friends were gonna make. It is also the case that Johnson and Eric Van Zandt had a brief conversation. If Johnson is this former EWCL star is not clear as there is no more information about this.
