21/04/2002

Neil Down: Oh yess, we will find out tonight.

JP: Besides that Deliverance will be an action packed show. We have Chris Christ and Drake Laps taking it on for the Internet Title.

ND: Chris Christ is not only the MESSIAH, he's also the NEW Highflying Miracle. He proved that last week when he leaped off that ladder. I heard that Nike already offered Chris to do a commercial with him.

JP: Yeah whatever Neil. Fact is that the The Real Highflying Miracle, namely Drake Laps will be out tonight and he definately is gonna show his stuff in that TLC match. After that match we have a Battle Royal for the Prime Time Title. That promises to be one excellent adventure.

ND: And from what I have heard we will see some old faces in the ring again. So thats gonna be some fun.

JP: And finally the Main Event of the Evening. Dungeon match for the Universal Title between Sean Corvik and Exile. This time it really is the last time that they fight eachother. Them two have been feuding ever since last December. We all remember Christmas in Hell. Now its Deliverance and we are 4 months further and this is gonna be it. More about that match later tonight.

ND: But first off is the TLC match between Chris Christ and Drake Laps.

(The scene then goes into Drake Laps' dressing room where he lays on the massage table relaxing as the missus works on Laps' back�Mike walks in shaking his head in anger as he throws some papers on the couch�Laps watches the television as he closes his eyes thinking about what could happen tonight�Laps turns the TV on high and watches as he listens to the wrestling anchor talk about the match).

Wrestling Anchor: As the weekend finally begins we get to see two of the great Extreme Wrestling Championship League Superstars are facing, and maybe this times folks, it's for the last time�As Chris Christ, the sultry superstar who has the Internet Title in his grasp and hasn't lost that title since he's held it, against the inconsistent Drake Laps who has been on a bit slide since his back spasm injury has made his life a living hell�As you all know we do our little surveys around the room about the wrestlers and this is what some people had to say�To our left *camera pans left* we have one of our best friends in Jon Crawford, an expert on these two men and what do you think will happen between these two great superstars�

(Drake Laps turns it off as his missus works on his back and stops looking at Laps with a look of anger in her face).

Missus: Are you nuts Drake? You're going to kill yourself if one of those ladders or chairs or musical instruments fall on your back�Since I am like a physician to you, I want you to stay clear of the ring�When's this event, soon? You're not going to wrestle with an injury that severe Mr. Laps�

Mike: Well Ms. Missus�You should be able to see that tonight is EWCL Deliverance in one of the greatest cities in America�Ah�Where are we again Drake?

Laps: I�Don't�Know�

Mike: But think about it Missy�Drake Laps is an amazing wrestler and he's nuts�He's going to wrestle�

Missus: I am leaving right now and getting the doctor�You can't go out there�

(The missus leaves while Laps lays on the missus table and smiles�Mike watches the TV while he goes on the phone�The EWCL Doctor walks in and shakes Mike's hand�Laps nods at him as the Doctor shakes his head).

Doctor Lebinski: Ah yes, Mr. Laps�Melissa told me that you want to go out there�Your back, if you have noticed has some type of tore up badly�Either it's a muscle spasm or you're really messed up your spinal cord on that German Suplex�Now Drake, I'd like you to stay away from the ring by all means�I know your not a patient man, and I want you to take my advice with the fullest brain power�Stay out of the ring�

(Laps shakes his hand while Mike still talks on the phone shaking the doctors hand�Mike gets off the phone as Laps gets up taking a pain killer to ease his pain a bit).

Laps: Got to love doctors...Tey always had the best advice for the best of us�Telling us that our careers could end with another screw up�

Mike: Are you going to listen to him?

Laps: I doubt it�

(Laps walks out of the room as Mike follows him�.The camera fades to Neil Down and John Pilchard).

JP: So it seems that Laps is gonna perform here.

ND: Stupid kid. He should know he has no chance in hell against The Messiah in his current kondition.

JP: Well you never know Neil, the kid got heart for the game.

ND: Yeah yeah.

(At that moment My Sacrifice by Creed starts to play and The Messiah Chris Christ comes out from behind the curtains. He stands on the top of the ramp and he got the Internet Title around his waist. While the crowd boos him he walks to ringside. He finally reaches the ring and looks at the ladder that is standing on the outside. He then slides in the ring and hands the title over to the referee, who hangs the title up above the middle of the ring).

(Then Trust by Megadeth starts to play and its time that The Highflying Miracle Drake Laps comes out. But the ramp stays empty and nothing is happening up there. Chris Christ looks up and he grins and makes the gestures that Laps is chicken. Trust plays again and blazes loudly on the jam packed crowd in the arena�The crowd goes nuts again as the signs go all over the place to "Drake Laps is an A+ in my book" to "Christ=Loser, Laps=Winner"�The music is still playing as the music finally stops�The lights hit out as a new song hits the arena�"Oleander - Are You There" hits the arena as the pyrotechnics go off the walls of the arena�The arena is going crazy as Drake Laps walks out with Boxie in his left hand shoving it up in the air as all the people in the arena are going crazy�Drake Laps walks down to the ring as his new t-shirt blings off of his chest. "Drake Laps doesn't get D's in Wrestling, he's been an A all his life"�Laps runs into the ring and slides in).

(The ref explains the rules one more time and he then motions to the bellkeeper).

Ding ding ding

JP: The match has started and Laps and Christ circle eachother for a couple of seconds. They then tie up and its Laps who grabs Christ in a side-headlock. The two then go into the ropes and Laps lets go off Christ. He comes off the ropes and Laps takes him down with a hiptoss. Laps quickly picks Christ up from the mat and throws him into the ropes again. The Messiah comes off again and this time Laps does a dropkick and hits him straight in the face. Laps bounces himself in the ropes and goes for an elbow drop, but Christ moves out of the way and Drake lands on the mat.

ND: Laps hops to his feet again and he and Christ stare at eachother. They lock up for the second time and this time its Christ who comes in with a knee to the gut. He then grabs Laps his head and throws a couple of punches. He then grabs Laps by the head and does a snappmare. Christ holds on to the head and hooks in a headlock. But the Highflying Miracle struggles and he gets back to his feet again. Christ lets go off Laps's head, but counters with a rake to the eye.

JP: Laps doesn't have any vision for a moment and Christ counters with grabbing him and delivering a DDT!! Laps goes down to the mat and Christ rolls to the outside, grabs a steelchair and slides back in again. He lays the steelchair in the middle of the ring and he then picks up Laps by the hair. He lifts him up and bodyslams him into the steelchair!!! Ooooooh that must have done alot of damage to that back, that injured back. Its just a simple bodyslam on a chair, but looking at Laps his injury, this can be lethal. And we can see it, Laps is in pain. He is trying to get back up and he checks his back.

ND: Christ kicks Laps in the back and then picks up the chair. He goes over to one of the four corners and he places the chair between the top and the second rope. Christ turns around and walks over to Laps. He hands out a few chops to the chest and he then goes to irish whip Laps in the direction of the corner with the chair. But oooh Laps reverses the irish whip with a result that Christ flies backfirst into that chair himself!!!! NOOOO!!!! Christ flew into that corner pretty hard!! Laps is back to one knee again and he's still checking his back. He is definately in pain here, I doubt that one painkiller was enough.

JP: Laps now goes over to the corner and now its his turn to grab the chair. He takes it and sees that Christ is getting back to his feet again. But BAMMMMMM he bashes his opponent in the head with that chair. Christ goes down again and Laps drops the chair and rolls to the outside. He grabs a table and he slides it into the ring. He rolls in aswell and he sets the table up near the corner. He picks up Christ and he lays him on the table. Laps then grabs the steelchair and he lays that on top of Christ his chest. Christ is in a sandwhich there, between a table and a chair.

ND: Laps starts to climb the corner and climbs all the way to the top. He stands on the toprope and .........FLYING LEGDROP OFF THE TOPROPE ON THAT CHAIR AND CHRIST AND THEY GO THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! HOLY MOLEY!!! What a carnage, what a mess there!!! Common Christ, you can get up from that!! I know you can do it!! Christ is still knocked out and also Laps is layed out in the ring. That took alot out of him aswell, he collided into that chair aswell.

JP: But now its Laps who's the first to move. He slowly crawls over to the ropes and he uses them to get back to his feet again. He gets back up again and he looks at Christ who still isn't moving. Laps grins and points up to the Internet Title and gets a big pop from the crowd. This kid got to be one of the most loved wrestlers in the EWCL. Laps slides to the outside and he walks over to the ladder. He folds it up and he throws it into the ring. He then uses the ringsteps to get back in the ring again and starts to set up the ladder in the middle of the ring.

ND: The ladder is set up now under the titlebelt and Drake Laps starts to climb it now. He's up a couple of steps, but Chris Christ is getting back up again. He is on one knee now and he notices that Laps is climbing the ladder. He then goes over to the nearest corner and starts to climb it all the way to the top. He then looks over at Laps who is now halfway up the ladder. Christ doesn't hesitate and .............OOOOOOOOOH YESSSSSS!!!!! .... MISSILE DROPKICK OFF THE TOPROPE INTO THE LADDER!!! AND THE LADDER FALLS TO THE SIDE AND LAPS FLIES INTO THE ROPES!!!!

JP: What an action are we seeing right here!! Can't get any better than that, now can it. Laps is hanging into the ropes right now, while Christ is getting up from the mat. Christ goes over to Laps now and he drags him out of the ropes. He then grabs him and ....THE BLESSING!!!....He hooks it in. He takes the head between his legs and brings his legs up to his legs. He then holds the choke hold in for a while. Christ then lets go of the hold and he drops Laps on his head!!! Man, that was viscious. Laps is laying on the mat now, and Christ is using that to go over to the ladder. He sets the ladder up again under the Internet Title.

ND: And Christ starts to climb the ladder right now. He climbs up a couple of steps and looks up to the title. Behind him it is Drake Laps who is getting back to his feet again. Laps grabs the steelchair and he starts to climb the ladder on the same side as Christ is doing. Laps then swings the chair and ...WHAMMMMMM.....he nails Christ in the back with the chair!!! But Christ is not letting go off the ladder!! He's holding on to it!! Laps swings again and .....WHAMMMMM.....this time he hits Christ in the head with the chair!!! But Christ is still not letting go!! Amazing!!

JP: Laps drops the chair to the ground and he climbs up higher and he reaches Christ now, who is recovering from those chairshots. Laps climbs on Christ his back and ......REVERSE HURRICANRANA OFF THE LADDER!!!!.....OOOH MY GODDDD!!!!!......I can't believe I am seeing that!!! That is just truly outrageous stuff!! .....Laps is the first one to move right now and he goes to the outside and he grabs a table and slides it into the ring. He then grabs another table and throws that inside the ring aswell. What is he up to? What is Drake Laps gonna do here?

ND: Laps gets back into the ring and he sets up one of the two tables. He then picks up Christ and he lays him on top off that table. Laps then grabs the ladder and he places it near the table. Laps then starts to climb the ladder all the way to the top. He now stands on top and he raises his hands in the air and he gives the signal for the Lapidator!! And he dives off and .............OOOOOOOHHHHHH.....CHRIST ROLLED OFF THE TABLE IN THE VERY LAST MOMENT AND LAPS FLIES THROUGH THE TABLE HIMSELF!!!! GOOD GODDD!!!

JP: Laps just went through that table like it was nothing. All we heard was a crack, oh man!!! Laps now really is in the disadvantage here, he had it, he had it for grabbing. But now the tables have turned. No pun intended. While Laps is laying between whats left of that table, it is Christ who is got back to his feet again. He stands up and he sets up the third and last table. He sets it up and he then grabs Laps and lifts him on it. The Messiah then climbs on the table too and he picks Laps up and ............THE SIGN OFF!!!!!!..........HE JUST DID IT!!! HE JUST PUT LAPS THROUGH THAT TABLE WITH HIS FINISHER!!!!

ND: HOLY JEZUS!!! And Christ is getting up now!!! He places the ladder in the middle of the ring and he starts to climb it. He gets higher and higher, while we see that Laps is still knocked out. Christ gets higher and he reaches the top of the ladder. He reaches for the Internet Title Belt and YESSSSSSS.....he grabs it!!!! Chris Christ grabbed the Internet Title and he is still the Internet Champion!!! What a win here for Chris Christ on Deliverance!!!!

JP: Christ climbs down the ladder again and once he got back on the mat he raises his hands in the air. He then stumbles backwards and falls to the mat. This match really took alot out of his aswell. This was so close, it was unbelievable. Laps almost had it, he was so close to the win, so close, but no cigar. But thats how wrestling goes, the win can be for grabs, but you can lose it all again in a flash. Thats wrestling.

ND: Yeah yeah, thank you for that lesson of life!! The fact is that Chris Christ won and nobody could have beaten him!! He's The Messiah!! He's the Internet Champion and he's the TLC Magnet!!!

(Commercials).

Bill Carty: Hello all, this is Bill Carty and I am standing here with former IW....

Marco: Cut the crap with that "Former IWF star". I just want to forget about that three letter word. And this is the night to do it. YOU KNOW WHAT, I HOPE THE SEI AND THOSE WHO RAN ME OUT IN THE IWF ARE WATCHING THIS NIGHT, COZ ITS GONNA BE ALL MARCO NIGHT!!

(Marco then walks away).

Bill Carty: There you have it people. Marco wants to show what he's got and he wants to show it bad. Back to you John.

(The scene fades out and we go back to John Pilchard and Neil Down).

JP: So it starts to get clear right now. Battle Royal is coming up and Marco will probly be the first one to enter and we already know that Gargantuflem is the last one to enter. Only thing we aren't sure of yet is, how many people will compete in this Battle Royal.

ND: I also don't know John. But we probly will see plenty of action. JP: Ok, let us get into the details of this Battle Royal for a moment. Its an over the toprope battle royal, you can only be eliminated when you get thrown over the toprope and both your feet land on the floor. Every two minutes a new wrestler comes down to the ring. The winner will get the Prime Time Title.

ND: Do you remember the last Battle Royal we had John?

JP: Yes I do, that was over a year ago. It was a battle royal for the Internet Title and back then it was Fazzer who won it. Man, thats a pretty long time ago. I don't remember though who the last two were in that batte royal.

ND:Agh, we'll probly see the old footage of that sometime this week or so. Its time now for some real live action. Its time for the Battle Royal!!!!

JP: Lets get READY TO RRRRRRUMBLEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Ding ding ding

(Bad boy for life by P. Diddy starts to play and Marco comes out from behind the curtains and runs down the aisle to the ring. He gets a small pop from the crowd and he reaches the ring and slides in).

JP: I wonder who his the second person in this Battle Royal is gonna be. Marco is standing in the ring right now and he's eagerly waiting for his first opponent. We then see the timer coming on the Cazzotron 5......4.......3.......2.......1..... And we see that someone is coming out. ......Oh my God we now that one!! Don't we Neil?!?

ND: Oh yes we do!!! Its.....ONE TIME!!! Former EWCL wrestler.

JP: One Time runs to the ring while the fans boo him. He reaches the ring and he slides in and charges in on Marco. Marco counters right away with clotheslining One Time to the mat. He picks up One Time by the head and he drags him over to the ropes and he throws him over the toprope to the outside. And One Time has been eliminated!! Marco raises his hands in the air and once again he's the only one left in the ring and has to wait for the next person to enter the ring now.

ND: 10......9......8......7......6......5......4......3.......2.......1..... Groundbreaking by Swollen Members starts to play and Nick Dangerous comes out. Nick makes his way down the aisle to the ring and slides in the ring. He and Marco lock up and its Marco who waistlocks Dangerous, but Dangerous reverses the waistlock. Marco then counters with an elbow to the face and Dangerous lets go. The two then stare at eachother and its Nick who throws a right one out of nowhere. It hits Marco right in the face. Marco returns the favor and comes in with a right hand of its own. The two then start to trade punches back and forth.

JP: Nick then tries to whip Marco into the ropes, but Marco reverses things and delivers a hard clothesline. Dangerous gets up, only to receive the same move again. Marco picks up Dangerous and irish whips him, but this time Dangerous reverses the irish whip and sends Marco into the ropes. Marco comes off and its Dangerous with a spinebuster on Marco!! Dangerous picks Marco up right away and throws him into the nearest corner. Dangerous charges in right after and splashes on top off Marco!!!

ND: Dangerous then takes a couple of steps backwards and then charges in on Marco again. He goes for another splash, but ooooooh Marco just catches Dangerous out of the air!!!! And he is going to throw Dangerous over the toprope!! But Dangerous holds on to the ropes and saves himself!!!! Man, that was close for Nick The D..

JP: NEIL!!!! I thought we had a little talk about that!?!?

ND: We did?

JP: Yes, we did!!

ND: ....

(10.....9.....8.....7....6...5....4...3....2...1.....I stand alone by Godsmack starts to play and the next wrestler to come out is .....RPG......He makes his way to the ring and gets in).

JP: Last week RPG had the chance to win the tagtitles, but he and Xavier failed and lost to G-Flem and The Punisher. Two of the big guys that will also compete in this Battle Royal. RPG comes in and he goes over to Marco and attacks him from behind. He nails Marco in the back of the head with a roundhouse kick. He then sends Marco into the ropes and when he comes off he takes him down with a spinkick. RPG picks Marco up from the mat, but then its Nick Dangerous who comes in and knocks RPG in the head. RPG lets go off Marco and turns towards Dangerous.

ND: Dangerous kicks him in the gut and sends him into the ropes. RPG comes off and its Dangerous who grabs him and does a spinning samoan drop!!! Now Marco and Dangerous pick up RPG and together they try to throw RPG over the toprope. RPG is struggling and is doing everything he can to hold on to the ropes. When he notices that this isn't gonna work, Marco turns on Dangerous and puts a fist to his head. He then lifts Dangerous up and delivers an atomic drop!!

JP: Marco picks Dangerous up and throws a couple of fists. Dangerous stumbles backwards and falls into the ropes. Marco goes over and grabs him and sends him into the opposite ropes. Dangerous comes off and Marco takes him down with a shouldertackle. On the other side we see that RPG is still trying to recover. 10...9....8....7....6....5...4...3.....2....1...... And its .......HERBIE HISCOCK!!! They must have released him and the other jobbers!! Nick Dangerous set them up and had them arrested, but someone probly bailed them out.

ND: Herbie rushes down to the ring and he slides in and he goes over to Marco and Nick. Marco is about to nail Nick with a big right hand, but Herbie turns Marco around and takes him down to the mat with a dropkick. Dangerous takes a few step backwards and rests in the ropes. He sees that Herbie is attacking Marco and Dangerous is enjoying every second of it. Herbie then turns around and looks at Dangerous. Herbie then all of a sudden charges in on him!!! Herbie charges in on Nick and wants to clothesline him over the toprope, but Nick sees it coming and he reverses and backdrops Herbie Hiscock over the toprope to the outside!! He's been eliminated!!

JP: RPG now goes over to Marco and picks him up, but Marco counters with a lowblow. RPG goes down to one knee and Marco grabs him and executes a double arm DDT!!! Marco picks him up from the mat and he drags him over to the ropes again. Again he tries to throw RPG out of the ring, but again RPG holds on to the ropes. RPG really needs some help right here. Coz the way it looks now, he is not gonna stay much longer in this match. .....10....9.....8.....7....6....5....4....3....2....1.....Bulls on Parade starts to play and the X-Man Xavier comes running out!!

ND: Oh man, it looks like he heard you. RPG needs help and who comes out: his tagteampartner Xavier. Xavier reaches the ring and slides in and goes straight for Marco. He grabs Marco and throws a couple of right ones. He then sends him into the ropes and when Marco comes off he does a hurricanrana!!! Xavier then goes over to RPG and checks how he is doing. RPG seems to be allright, but before Xavier can do anything else, its Nick Dangerous who grabs him and executes a northern lights suplex!! Dangerous picks Xavier up from the mat and headbutts him.

JP: He then lifts Xavier up and bodyslams him back to the mat. RPG comes to help Xavier, but Dangerous saw him coming and he backdrops him to the mat. 10.....9.....8.....7.....6......5.....4....3.....2.....1...... And we see that both Peter Pan and Flame Boy are coming out. Oh boy, and I got this feeling that they both want some piece of Nick Dangerous!! Peter Pan and Flame Boy enter the ring and as expected they go straight for Nick Dangerous. Nick ducks Peter Pan's arm and grabs him and lifts him up and drops him into the ropes. Flame Boy then charges in on Nick, but Nick counters and grabs Flame Boy and does an overhead belly to belly suplex!!

ND: Then we see that Marco grabs Peter Pan by the head and that Nick Dangerous does the same to Flame Boy. At the same moment Marco throws Peter Pan over the toprope and Nick does the same to Flame Boy. Both of them are eliminated!! Marco and Nick stare at eachother for a moment and then they concentrate on the other two that are still in the ring. Marco gets a hold of RPG, while Nick goes for Xavier.

JP: 10...9....8....7.....6.....5....4.....3.....2.....1.....Enter Sandman by Metallica starts to play and Eleven comes running out. The kid who had The Mauler as a mentor comes out and slides into the ring. The young highflyer mixes himself in this Battle Royal and he goes over to Marco and RPG. He grabs both of their heads and smashes them into eachother!! Eleven then goes over to Nick and Xavier and does the same to them!! Eleven then runs over to one of the corners, jumps on the topturnbuckle, uses it as a springboard and dives off for a corkscrew moonsault and lands on Xavier!!

ND: I think thats a bit of a payback as Eleven and Xavier had a little feud going on a little while ago. Eleven picks Xavier up by the head and hands out a couple of chops. Xavier then gets help from RPG and RPG and Xavier twist this thing around and they double team Eleven. They send him into the ropes and when Eleven comes off they take him down to the mat again with a double clothesline. Xavier and RPG pick Eleven up from the mat and they drag him over to the ropes and try to throw him out.

JP: On the other side of the ring we see that Marco and Nick Dangerous are both taking some time to recover. Both of them have been in this ring for quite awhile now. They see how Xavier and RPG are doing what they can to eliminate Eleven, but they just let it go......10....9....8....7.....6....5.....4.....3......2......1....American Made starts to play and the crowd goes nuts as they know that The Punisher is coming out. The four time Prime Time Champion and All American Hero comes running out!!

ND: He reaches ringside and slides in and runs over to Xavier and RPG. He big boots RPG to the back of the head and RPG flies over the toprope to the outside!!! Punisher then grabs Xavier and he sends him into the ropes. Xavier comes off and Punisher powerslams him to the mat!!! Eleven then climbs on the topturnbuckle and he dives off and does a swanton bomb on Xavier!!! Eleven then gets up and grabs Xavier and throws him over the toprope to the outside!!! Wow Eleven and Punisher sure had some chemistry going on over there!! The two of them got rid of the tagteam of RPG and Xavier.

JP: Punisher now goes over to Marco and the two start to trade right ones back and forth. Marco then blocks a shot and pokes Punisher in the eye. He follows that up with kicking Punisher to the midsection and executing a swinging neckbreaker!!! Punisher goes down and Marco takes his time and he then turns Punisher around and hooks in a Boston Crab!!! Punisher is in pain and Eleven comes charging in to help Punisher, but Nick Dangerous comes in between and stops him!!! Dangerous lifts Eleven up and does a snap suplex!!

ND: 10.....9......8.......7........6.......5.......4......3......2.....1.....Stupify by Disturbed starts to play and its Iman Sain who comes out. He's back, Iman Sain is back in the EWCL!! He almost won the Hardcore Title a little while ago. In that time Iman had several title shots in a row, he had a chance against Joe Johnson and he also had a chance against Blade, but in the end he didn't get the win in both of those matches. Iman Sain enters the ring and he bounces in the ropes and he does an elbow drop on The Punisher. Marco then lets go off the Boston crab and looks at Iman Sain. Marco then turns around, but Iman comes in from behind and does a flying bulldog on Marco!!

JP: At the same time Nick Dangerous sends Eleven into the ropes again, but this time Eleven ducks the forearm, goes into the opposite ropes, comes back and takes Dangerous to the mat with a spinning heelkick. Eleven picks Dangerous up and chops him a few times to the chest and then throws him into the nearest corner. Eleven charges in hot pursuit, but Dangerous moves out of the way in time and Eleven flies chestfirst into the turnbuckles!! Dangerous then grabs him from behind and executes a backdrop suplex on the kid!!

ND: 10....9.....8.....7.....6.....5.....4.....3.....2....1......And some kind of clowns music starts to play. The crowd looks up and they see a former EWCL wrestler, namely Happy Henry Henderson. Once again the crowd starts to boo, but the clown doesn't care and he rushes to ringside. He slides in but runs straight into The Punishers hand. The Punisher grabs Happy Henderson by the throat and he lifts him up and OOOOOOHHHHH He drops him on the outside!!! Happy Henderson is already eliminated!!! Man, that was fast!!! The Punisher turns around and sees that Iman Sain and Marco are fighting it out, but he also sees that Eleven is almost getting thrown out of the ring by Nick Dangerous.

JP: The Punisher goes over to Eleven and Nick and for the second time he helps Eleven. Punisher grabs Dangerous and hands out a few punches. He then lifts him up and does a piledriver!! Nick Dangerous is out and Punisher and Eleven pick him up and they throw him over the toprope, but Dangerous lands on the apron and he crawls back in the ring. He's still in!! Man, that was close. On the other side we see that Marco is getting the upperhand on Iman Sain now. He comes in with a big chop to the chest and he follows that up with a dropkick that sends Iman to the mat.

10...9.....8......7......6......5......4......3......2......1......Cocky by Kid Rock starts to play and Marcus Babylon comes out.

ND: Where's Justine?!? Where is she?!?

JP: Get a grip Neil.

ND: Yeah I wanna get a grip, get a grip on those babies!!

JP: NEIL!!!

ND: Ooh, did I say that out loud?

JP: Yes you did.

ND: oh.

JP: Marcus Babylon who got the Prime Time Title from his uncle Eric Van Zandt is out and he is walking to the ring...

ND: There she is!!! There's Justine!!

JP: Babylon slowly walks to the ring in an arrogant way. He then uses the ringsteps to get in the ring, while Justine stays on the outside. Babylon gets in and The Punisher attacks him right away!! The Punisher is G-Flems tagpartner and we know whats going on between Babylon and G-Flem. Punisher comes in and he takes Babylon to the mat with a flying shouldertackle. He picks Babylon up by the head and drags him over to a corner and starts to ramm his head into the topturnbuckle!! 1....2.....3.....4......5....The Punisher then stops and he lifts Babylon on top off the topturnbuckle. The Punisher climbs on aswell and he sets Babylon up for a superplex!

ND: But Babylon counters and thumbs Punisher in the eye and follows that up with a jawbreaker!!! Ooooh my Godd a jawbreaker from the toprope and The Punisher falls down to the mat!!! Babylon managed to stay on the topturnbuckle and he looks down at The Punisher and .......FROGSPLASH off the toprope on The Punisher!!! Wow, what a move!! He hit it perfectly!! Babylon gets back to his feet and he picks up The Punisher by the head and .. HE CLOTHESLINES HIM OVER THE TOP TO THE OUTSIDE!!! THE PUNISHER IS OUT!!!

JP: Babylon raises his hands in the air, but all he gets in return is heat from the crowd!! The crowd really doesn't love him!!

ND: Who cares about him, its Justine who rules. And the fact that the two of them aren't even dating, is even more intresting for me. I might even have a chance with her.

JP: Neil, even if you were the last male on earth, you wouldn't even have a chance with her.

ND: ....

JP: Babylon is still standing there with his hands raised in the air. While we see that at the same moment Marco, Nick Dangerous, Eleven and Iman Sain are brawling in the same corner. Marco now knocks Eleven to the mat with a big elbow. He picks him up again and he lifts up and wants to throw him over the toprope, but Iman Sain comes in and kicks Marco in the stomach area. Marco drops Eleven and he falls to the mat!!

10....9....8.....7.....6....5.....4.....3......2....1......And "Flash" by Queen starts to play!!

ND: OOOoh Goodness no!!! Its The Flashmaster!!!

JP: He won worst gimmick of the year at the Holy Shit Awards!!! The Flashmaster comes out in his long black threnchcoat and his black sunglasses and his hair in a ponytail. He takes his time to make it to the ring. He finally reaches ringside and he uses the ringsteps to get in. He climbs in the ring and he starts with his act that we have seen several times when he was still wrestling in the EWCL. He shakes his hips around and he then opens his trenchcoat. He opens it and he's not wearing any clothes under it. Oh my God, thats gross!!!! He then turns around and looks straight in the eyes of Marcus Babylon. Babylon lifts his shoulders up and he then clotheslines The Flashmaster over the toprope to the outside!!

ND: Thank God he's out already!! Man, I can't say that I missed him.

JP: Neither can I.

ND: Iman Sain and Marco are locking up now and its Marco who gets Iman in a headlock. Marco probly tries to stall time here. He must be exhausted by now, he's been standing in this ring like forever. Just like Nick Dangerous, he's sitting in a corner now grasping for air. Eleven on the other hand, got back to his feet and he charges in on Babylon. Babylon humiliated Eleven last week on Venom and Eleven wants some revenge, so it seems. Eleven waits till Babylon turns around and he then runs in and spears him down to the mat!!!

JP: Babylon goes down and Eleven lands on top of him and starts to hand out several shots to the head. Left, right, left, right, left, right!!! The kid is really on fire here!! He probly is pissed about it that Babylon defeated him last week and also coz Babylon just eliminated The Punisher. Eleven is letting it all out here!! He now stops with the punches and he gets back to his feet and he picks Babylon up from the mat. He grabs him by the head and throws him into the corner!! Eleven follows in hot pursuit, but Babylon counters with sticking his elbow out and Eleven flies in headfirst.

(10.....9......8.......7........6......5.....4.......3.....2.....1....and Seek and Destroy by Metallica starts to play!! And the crowd erupts! They know who's coming now. A big man appears on the top of the ramp and the crowd starts to cheer wildly).

JP: ITS EX-TERMINATOR!!!! HE'S BACK!!! The former Internet and Hardcore Champion has returned to the EWCL!! What a surprise!!! Ex-Terminator makes his way down the aisle to the ring. It looks like even Ex-T himself is surprised by the respons he gets. But the crowd sure remembers him as a great wrestler. Ex-T reaches the ring and he slides in. Nick Dangerous doesn't give Ex-T any time and he charges in on him and takes him to the mat with a flying forearm. He picks Ex-T up from the mat and goes to irish whip him, but Ex-T reverses the irish whip and sends Dangerous into the ropes. Dangerous comes off and Ex-T grabs him by the throat and executes a chokeslam!!

ND: Ex-Terminator then goes over to Marco and he grabs him from behind and executes a german suplex!! Ex-Terminator then gets a hold of Iman Sain and throws him into the ropes. Iman comes off and Ex-T big boots him to the mat!! Ex-T sure is cleaning house right here!! He wasn't in last years Rumble, coz he was fighting JTC in the only Seek and Destroy match the EWCL has ever seen. Ex-T picks up Iman Sain, but Iman counters with a lowblow. Ex-T goes down to one knee and we then see that Iman Sain grabs something out of his boots.

JP: Iman Sain grabs a pair of brass knuckles and he puts them on and he nails Ex-T in the face with it!!! Ex-T stumbles backwards and goes in the ropes. He holds on to the ropes and tries to recover from that cheap shot.

(10.....9......8......7.....6.....5......4......3......2.....1....Who let the dogs out by the Baha Men starts to play and its no one else but D@wg F@$e who is coming out. The crowd makes all sorts of barking noises, but Dawg Fase isn't too happy about that and starts to yell at the fans).

ND: Man, its something to see him back again. I guess the Baha Men are touring nearby, otherwise Dawg Fase wouldn't have time to drop by. Dawg Fase always claimed to be the most hardcore wrestler in the EWCL, but I think he had more success as backup singer for the Baha Men than as a EWCL wrestler. Anyway, Dawg Fase enters the ring and he goes over to Babylon and Eleven. He nails Eleven in the head with a right one, but then Babylon comes in and clotheslines Dawg to the mat. Babylon picks up Dawg Fase up and sends him into the ropes. Dawg holds on to the ropes, but at the same moment its Eleven who comes in and he dropkicks Dawg over the toprope!!

JP: Eleven does a barking sound, but he gets interrupted by Babylon who grabs him from behind and executes a reverse DDT!! The camera then focusses on Ex-T who's still hanging in the ropes. Iman Sain walks over to him and grabs him. He throws Ex-T in the ropes and when he comes off he does a drop toe hold and Ex-T goes down. Iman Sain picks Ex-T up and throws him in the ropes again. But this time Ex-T holds on to the ropes. Iman Sain sees it and charges in right away!! Iman comes in and he clotheslines Ex-T over the toprope, but oooooh Ex-Terminator grabs a hold of Iman Sain and both men fly over the toprope to the outside!!! Man, did you see that?!? They eliminated eachother!!! And Ex-T and Iman Sain continue their fight on the outside. The two brawl their way down the aisle back to the ramp!!

ND: In the ring its now down to 4 people. We have Eleven, who by the way is not 11 but 16.

JP: NEIL!!!

ND: Sorry, I just had to say it. People expect it that I say it!

JP: Yeah right.

ND: Hell, the SEI even make a trivia question about it.

JP: Yeah yeah, kid yourself will you.

ND: I am not kidding!!!

JP: Yeah, yeah, like you weren't kidding when you said last week that Drake Laps was grounded.

ND: I wasn't kidding!!!

JP: Yes Neil, I know. (he says sarcastically).

ND: Ok, then.

JP: But to go back to whats going in the ring. We are down to 4 people. Eleven, Babylon, Nick Dangerous and Marco. Marco and Eleven are now getting it on, while Babylon and Nick Dangerous are hammering it out. Nick Dangerous kicks Babylon in the midsection and he then follows that up with a spinebuster!! Dangerous then bounces himself into the ropes and he gets off and does a kneedrop to the face.

(10....9....8.....7........6......5....4.....3......2.....1......Outshined by Soundgarden starts to play and Mystic comes out. The former Prime Time Champion runs to the ring and slides in).

JP: Mystic comes in and he goes straight for Babylon. That probly has to do with it that Babylon is related to Eric Van Zandt. Mystic made very clear that he wasn't too happy about it how he got treated by Cazzo. Mystic shoves Nick Dangerous away and then picks up Babylon. But before Mystic can do anything, Babylon pokes him in the eyes. Babylon then grabs Mystic and sends him into the ropes and when he comes off he does a tilt-o-wirl!!

ND: We also see that Marco is lifting up Eleven. He lifts him up in a gorilla press and slams him to the mat!! Man, that was pretty impressive by Marco. You have to take into consideration that he has been in here from the start. And thats quite a long time ago. Marco picks Eleven up from the mat and he sends him into the ropes. Eleven comes off and Marco flapjacks him and Eleven flies that high that he flies over the toprope to the outside!!! Oh yesss, Eleven has been eliminated by Marco!!!

JP: So we are back to four. Marco, Nick Dangerous, Babylon and Mystic.

ND: And I wonder how many wrestlers are left to come out. There can't be many more.

(10......9......8......7......6......5......4......3......2......1......And Want by Disturbed starts to play and Gargantuflem comes out and makes his way to the ring. The fans cheer him on and a "G-Flem, G-Flem" chant starts).

JP: Its the last entry. Its the last one to enter the Battle Royal. Its down to these 5 men!!

ND: By the way G-Flem mentioned that his real name is Flemming and that he is originally from Flanders. He said it was a part of Holland, but John I paid attention in school and I can say that Flanders isn't a region in Holland, but actually its a region in Belgium. Next to that they have excellent chocolate in Belgium. Finally G-Flem talked about the lederhosen in Holland, but actually thats Germany, they don't have lederhosen in Holland.

JP: Wow, Neil. How do you know all that?

ND: Beats me, I just do.

JP: Amazing.

ND: G-Flem climbs in the ring and he starts to clean house right away!!! He clotheslines Babylon to the mat, he then does the same to Mystic. G-Flem then takes Nick Dangerous down to the mat with a flying shouldertackle and finally he grabs Marco and powerslams him to the mat!!! Good Godd, G-Flem is really cleaning house!!! Mystic gets back up and G-Flem comes in and spears him down to the mat again!! G-Flem then concentrates on Nick Dangerous while Babylon takes advantage of the situation and he picks up Mystic and he grabs him by the head and throws him over the toprope to the outside!!! We are down to 4!!

JP: We see that Nick Dangerous gets back up again and G-Flem grabs him and ..GARGUAN DRIVER!!! He hits him with his finisher!!! And Nick Dangerous is knocked out!!! G-Flem then picks him up and goes to throw him out. But then its Marco who comes in and dropkicks G-Flem to the back. G-Flem lets go off Dangerous and turns around to face Marco. Marco comes in for a big clothesline, but the big guy just blocks it!! Oh man he is so powerful!! Marco bounces into the ropes again and now he comes off for a flying shouldertackle, but again G-Flem blocks it!!

ND: He then grabs Marco by the throat and and chokeslams him to the mat!! G-Flem then goes over to Nick Dangerous and picks him up and tosses him to the outside!!! He's out!!! Man, G-Flem is not even breaking a sweat here!!! We now see that Marco climbed on the topturnbuckle. He waits till G-Flem turns around and he then jumps off the toprope!! But oooooooh G-Flem saw it coming and he catches Marco out of mid-air and ......FALLAWAY SLAM TO THE OUTSIDE!!! AND MARCO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!

JP: And it's down to two men now. The only two left are Marcus Babylon and G-Flem. Babylon and G-Flem circle eachother for a couple of seconds. They then tie up and G-Flem waistlocks Babylon and german suplexes him to the mat!! We already established that he is real powerful!! G-Flem picks up Babylon from the mat and he sends him into the ropes. Babylon comes off and he ducks the big arm, bounces into the opposite ropes and comes off and counters with a big superkick!!! That superkick takes G-Flem down to the mat!!!!

ND: Babylon picks up G-Flem and he drags him over to the ropes and tries to throw him to the outside. But Babylon is not able to do it!! He's not strong enough to lift the big guy up. Babylon then takes a few steps backwards and bounces himself in the opposite ropes. He comes charging in and ooooooh G-Flem backdrops him and he goes over the toprope!!!!! But wait, look!!!!! Babylon held on to the topes and pulls himself back in again (Shawn Michaels style) and he's still in there!!!

JP: But G-Flem didn't notice it. G-Flem thinks he won this thing!! He thinks he eliminated Babylon and that he won the Battle Royal and The Prime Time Title. But its not the case!!! Common G-Flem pay attention!!! Wow, wait we see that Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt is running to the ring now. Cazzo reaches the ring and we now see that Justine is distracting the referee who is standing on the outside. Justine is asking something or just showing him her boobs. I can't really see whats she's doing.

ND: The referee doesn't see that Cazzo grabs the Prime Time Title belt and he throws it to Babylon. Babylon grabs the belt out of the air and he swings it and .......BAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!...He nails G-Flem in the head with it and G-Flem flies over the toprope to the outside!!! Oh man, did you see that!!! It's over!!! It's over!!!

JP: Marcus Babylon eliminated G-Flem with the help of Justine, Cazzo and the Prime Time Title. Babylon won this Battle Royal!!! Oh I can't believe it!! He cheapshotted his way to the win here!!!

(Babylon smiles and raises the Prime Time Title in the air. Justine and Eric "Cazzo" Van Zandt also climb into the ring now and they all hug while the crowd boooos them like they have never before).

(Commercials).

JP: What a night it's been folks! A night we thought we'd see the end of the EWCL has turned into a night we've witnessed the rebirth of this great Federation! How and why, we still don't know, but whatever the case, next week we will all still have jobs, and you, the fans, will still have the option of switching on our unique brand of sports entertainment!

ND: What, you're going to take that schmuck Bo Lucas' word for it? We'll see� you know, I'm still dubious about this whole thing, and The Rage's music playing at the end of last week only further cemented my doubts. Now, if it had been Danny Christ's music, I think we'd be looking at true Deliverance�.

JP: You do realise that kid's been gone for more than eight months now, right? Give it a rest or seek help.

ND: Sticks and stones John, sticks and stones. You see, it all comes down to this�. One match to go, and still a no-show for the new CEO of the EWCL. What does that tell you? It's a scam! Cazzo is probably half way to Majorca by now, sipping on margueritas in First Class while�

The lights dim suddenly, yet slowly. A brief hush washes over the crowd. The Jumbo Screen gradually brightens into life, several words printed in sepia scrawl like a faded epitaph�

A guitar riff explodes through the arena, competing with the frenetic drums for domination of the composition. The frantic pace builds as a bell chimes in the depths of the piece. Four times it chimes before the vocals explode, followed only mere moments later by the crowd.

The fans go ballistic for the former Champion, the Hall of Famer, and one of the most brutal and legendary competitors to ever step inside an EWCL ring. As Kid Rock hollers his anthem, upon either side of the ramp two enormous explosions threaten the very roof of the auditorium. CEO flashes across the giant Jumbo Screen, and as the brightness fades ever so slightly a figure steps into the entrance. Clad in jeans, a black T-shirt and a long black coat, he steps out onto the ramp and stares out at the roaring arena. He watches the crowd as they holler for The Rage, chanting his name in a tribute to a man who gave his all for his sport. Burning bright and strong for several moments, the pyro eventually fades, until finally five words flash blindingly in white across the Jumbo Screen, leaving the familiar imprint of lightning upon the vision of the fans... 'The Revelation is at Hand'. With those words, he makes his way slowly down towards the ring, reaching out to slap the hands of the fans he has missed so much.

Rolling under the bottom rope, he comes to his feet and stands in the centre of the ring as the deafening noise rolls over him. Emotion threatens to overtake him, as the value of this tribute settles in. It won't last, he knows. He is no longer the Man. Others have long-since taken that mantle. But for tonight, maybe for the last time ever, he is the Man again, and he revels in his novelty value as he once revelled in his true standing amongst the boys. He calls for a mic, and when finally the chant of 'Rage�Rage' refuses to die, he decides to begin nonetheless.

'It's nice to see I haven't been completely forgotten.' The fans roar again, and take up the chant once more. O'Connor smiles out at the crowd, turning to look at the tremendous turnout for the 'Last Ever EWCL Event'. After a moment, he begins again. 'You know, six months ago, when I left� when I stared up at the lights as Cazzo's hand slapped the mat for the third and final time� I thought that I would never be back here. As it sunk in that I'd been screwed out of my title� out of my livelihood� and out of the Federation that I loved� I really questioned if I ever wanted to step foot in another ring ever again. But this� this here tonight� this makes it all worthwhile.' The fans cheer, and scattered chants start up again.

'But this time's different, ain't it. You know, when I was last here, I was the man to beat� I was the Universal Champion� the Main Event. But this time� this time I'm not here to 'Revelation' my way through the locker room.' The fans cheer. 'This time I'm not here to lace up my boots and go toe-to-toe with Sean Corvik in another Match of the Year.' The fans roar for one of the greatest match-ups of all time. 'No, this time it isn't about titles. It isn't about prestige. It isn't about whose the best. This time� this time it's about this business. This time� it's about the future.

'And it's no secret. You're all here because this could have been the very last EWCL event ever. It almost happened. You see, this company has been in financial freefall since I left. Six long months. And hey, I ain't so big an ego-maniac to think it's all 'cos of me. Hell, this company could have survived long past my expiry date with the talent of Sean Corvik, of Exile� of all the other guys in the back there just killing themselves to entertain you, the EWCL fans. No, this company has slipped into a death roll thanks to the poor management and screw-ups of one man, and one man alone. Eric 'Cazzo' Van Zandt.

'I left this company, not 'cos I wanted to� not 'cos I had some lucrative film career to go to� not even 'cos I couldn't 'go' anymore. No, I left this company for one reason� because Eric Van Zandt refused to pay me. And I wasn't the only guy back there screwed over so that leachin' son-of-a-bitch could line his pockets. Hell, Eric even had the business acumen to convince his top star, his moneymaker Sean Corvik, to take a pay cut to 'help the business'. Let me tell you all something� I've seen the books, and Eric could afford to pay those boys twice what they were worth, but for the houses, the cars, the women, the ex-wives, the parties� oh yeah, and the leer jet. You all want to know what happened to the EWCL? Eric Van Zandt happened to the EWCL. The man who built this Federation into a powerhouse also nearly destroyed it. Now that's irony, wouldn't you say?'

The fans boo, jeering the same man they have supported for so long. Jeering Cazzo. O'Connor continues, 'So, when I got a call from a disturbed friend of mine, lettin' me know about an executive opening he had comin' up, I naturally said 'F*ck Bo, where do I sign?' See, Van Zandt isn't half as smart as he'd like to think, and placing Bo Lucas in charge of the EWCL financial situation had to turn around and bite him in his wrinkled ass someday. Bo says to me, 'Rick, the EWCL is going under, and if I can't find� well, I won't go into exact figures, but lets say a lot of money was expressed� and I said I'd see what I could do. And you know, when you make a big-budget movie, you meet some people with big expense accounts and big wallets. And sometimes those same fat cats like to spread their money out. You know� kind of a tax fraud deal I suppose. And these guys� they needed a front man� someone to run the operation. So here I am, standin' out here in front of eighteen thousand EWCL fans, letting them know that I AM THE RAGE, and I am going to be around for a VERY LONG TIME�

'Because I am the NEW CEO OF THIS COMPANY!'

The fans explode as John and Neil cut back in.

JP: So it was true� it was true all along! Rick O'Connor�The Rage is the new EWCL CEO!

ND: Doesn't that make him Cazzo's boss?!

JP: I� I'm not really sure!

O'Connor stalks about the ring until 'Damned if I Do' by Life of Agony blasts through the arena speaker system. O'Connor turns to the ramp, eyes flaring. The fans erupt into jeers as Eric Van Zandt storms onto the ramp-way flanked by a dozen security guards. Mic in hand, he brushes off the screaming, taunting fans and addresses Rick O'Connor directly.

'You stupid son-of-a-bitch! You come out here� on MY SHOW� and try and pull some stunt like this?! You� the new CEO? That's a joke! That's a bad, stupid joke! Six months ago I fired your ass 'cos frankly, you just weren't worth keeping on the roster. You thought you owned the place Rick� you no-showed a televised match with Dan Prohibition� you no-showed House Shows� you created locker-room turmoil� you sullied the name of the EWCL by pulling that bullsh*t XPCW stunt! I wouldn't pay you what you were worth?! You weren't worth the piece of paper your contract was signed on! You were killing this company! I SAVED IT!'

The chant rumbles around the arena�. 'Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole� Asshole� Asshole�Asshole!'

Cazzo stares out at the fans who have turned in the last few weeks like rabid dogs. He shakes his head, 'You want to stand up there and talk about my houses� my cars� my women� I made you a star Rick! I made them all! Corvik� Exile� Glory� Johnson, you, Saphio� I made you all! Why shouldn't I be rich? I've earned it! You think I don't care if this company goes under? I care! I just don't intend to go under with it! This business is cyclical Rick� don't blame me for planning ahead you sanctimonious F*ck!'

JP: This� this is the most riled up I've seen Cazzo� well, ever!

ND: Do you think Cazzo would share some of his women?

O'Connor leans over the ropes, 'Do you hear what all these people are callin' you Eric? It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface�. You built this company on the backs of the boys in that locker room! Don't tell me this business is cyclical! The EWCL could still be profitable if you weren't embezzling the royalties, or handing over the Presidency every two weeks! I mean you stupid asshole, how many times are you going to put your Goddamned Office up for grabs? Haven't you learnt yet? You stink! You suck! You couldn't buy yourself a win! You're a moron! No wonder the company is in trouble when you hand over all your responsibilities every time someone calls you a bitch! It's beyond retarded! It makes you a prime candidate for President of the Perpetually Bewildered! Face it Cazzo� you're a jobber, and your power makes you the most dangerous man to this company.'

Cazzo flounders for words before Rick cuts him off again, 'And you just get stupider! I spent three months making the Universal Title mean something, and you screw me out of it one week, only to let it change hands one week later! Two title changes in two weeks? Then I'm watching a few weeks back, and Blade pulls out a total upset over Corvik, and you go and what?! You book the rematch for the VERY NEXT WEEK?! Did you miss booking 101 Caz? People would have paid money to see Corvik get his revenge, and you give the match away for free, one week� ONE WEEK� after the upset?! You cheapened Blade's victory, and you cheapened the title? You're making a joke out of this Federation! Newsflash Eric� Crash TV is dead! Learn it, and move on! It's crap like that that buries a company.'

Cazzo finds his voice again, yet he is eerily calm. 'I've had enough of this garbage. You're no CEO, and I won't be played for a fool. Guards� get that piece of crap out of my ring.' Cazzo begins to march down the ramp, flanked by the dozen security guards. O'Connor watches them approach before giving a small nod to the fellow to Cazzo's left. He turns to the other guards, says something softly, and grabs Cazzo by the arm. The other guards follow suite. Cazzo looks up at O'Connor in horror as realisation dawns on him� this is no laughing matter. He pulls the mic up to his mouth, against the urging of the guard, 'YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH! I'LL HAVE YOUR BALLS FOR THIS! I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL�' The microphone drops from his hands as he is hauled bodily back up the ramp. O'Connor gives him a small wave and a smirk, leaning out over the ropes as the fans begin to sing that age-old classic�

'NAAH, NAAH� NAAH, NAAH, NAAH, NAAH� HEYAYAY� GOODBYE!'

O'Connor laughs as Cazzo disappears behind the curtain. The fans break into cheers, and the new CEO brings the microphone to his lips. 'Now, for the next order of business. There's a man whose been sitting on his ass at home collecting pay checks because Eric Van Zandt considers him a threat. A talented, dedicated wrestler whose given his all to this Federation. A man whose ready to take the next step� and I'll be damned if he won't get a chance on my show. So�

'Joe Johnson,' the fans cheer loudly for the long-time EWCL superstar; loved and hated by many, respected by all. 'Joe� if you're willing, I'll see you next week at the first EWCL programme of the new age. And I'll guarantee you what Cazzo refused to� a shot at the big time. Make your choice kid, 'cos I offer the hand of friendship only once. And that hand goes out to each and every superstar in the EWCL. I promise you all a chance to shine, and a pay check to match whatever you give me. And trust me� if you're thinking that it's better the devil you know� then you don't know that devil half as well as you think you do.'

JP: O'Connor's offered a hand� I wonder who'll take it?!

ND: Nobody� if they're smart.

JP: Would you rather risk your livelihood with Cazzo?

ND: Well� no. I'm just disappointed it didn't turn out to be Danny Christ.

'Evolution is inevitable, and my arrival back into the EWCL isn't the end for this company. It ain't gonna be business as usual next Sunday, 'cos as it stands the EWCL has still lost its slot with UPN. So, without further ado, allow me to let you all in on the news. The EWCL will henceforth be broadcast each and every Sunday night live, from 10/11 P.M� on the New TNN. Same night, just a whole new beginning! And let me also let you all know that as of last Sunday, EWCL Venom is dead and buried. Next week, a new program will debut bearing the EWCL logo and brand of entertainment. The future of the EWCL has arrived boys and girls� and I swear it'll blow your mind.'

The fans cheer as O'Connor slowly walks the ring. Finally, he stops and leans back against the ropes. 'There are more changes in store, but I just can't bring myself to ruin the surprise for you. I'm here to clean up the mess, but it'll be my pleasure to turn this place inside out to let you guys in. I'm back for the fans, and the boys� this is real�

'And this� THE EWCL� is the Whole Goddamn Show!'

'American Bad Ass' blares from the speakers as O'Connor rolls over the second rope and out of the ring. The fans cheer boisterously as he makes his way up the ramp and through the curtain.

JP: Well I� I don't know what to say. This is just amazing. It truly is the beginning of a new era. I can't say I trust The Rage, after all that he's done. I think there are some half-truths in what he's said, but still� you can't help but be excited.

ND: Excited� I CAN'T WAIT! You know what this means, don't you?! Surely, with this new beginning� Danny Christ has to return! Nobody knows more about resurrecting a company than Danny Christ!

JP: You know, for the first time in a long time I really feel I can say that anything might happen next Sunday. But right now, we still have one titanic battle to take place. Next up, the Main Event!

(Commercials).

Bill Carty: We are moments away from the Main Event match. And I have the honour to ask Exile a couple of questions.

Bill Carty: Exile! Exile! Can i get a few thoughts before this match with Sean Corvik

Chris Lemke: NO.

Bill Carty: Everyone wants to know what Exile has planned for the match?

Chris Lemke: Exile doesn't have a plan Carty. Exile is dead. Now please. Im trying to get ready.

(Chris Lemke walks past a confused Carty).

Bill Carty: Uh, uh ok. Back to you John.

(Scene fades out).

JP: Its time Neil. Its time for the Main Event. Sean Corvik versus Exile, uh I mean Chris Lemke. And its not a normal match. Its a Dungeon Match. The first ever EWCL Dungeon Match. Let me explain the rules. First of all there is no dq or countount. Second of all there are barb wire ropes. Thirdly there are four corners of death. In one corner there's broken glass. In another thumbtacks, in another alcohol and in another salt. It is also a respect match between the two of them.

ND: So they have bottles of beer in one corner?

JP: Nooo Neil!! With alcohol I meant straight pure alcohol!! Alcohol that'll burn like hell when you touch it when you are busted open.

ND: Aha, that kind of alcohol.

JP: Ok, its time for the match. Everyone is ready, the people are ready, the ring is ready. Its time!!

(Born of a broken man by Rage Against The Machine starts to play and Chris Lemke appears on the top of the ramp. The fans go bananas when they see him and Chris Lemke gently lifts his right hand up in the air and starts to make his way down the aisle. On his way he looks at the fans and it means something to him that they cheer him on like this. Chris Lemke reaces the ring and he uses the ringsteps to get on the apron and he climbs over the barbe wired ropes to get in the ring).

(Then Died by Alice in Chains starts to play and Sean Corvik Kritical Kondition comes out. Corvik is wearing street clothes, tattered blue jeans and an old worn out Terry Funk "Funk U" Graduation t-shirt. Corvik got waste basket full of weapons with him. We see trashcan lits, a kendo stick, a cookie sheet, and even the kitchen sink. Finally we see that Sean Corvik wears a black band around his arm which says "Staley" in white).

JP: What is that black band about?

ND: You don't follow the news don't you?

JP: All depends.

ND: Today we heard the news that Alice in Chains singer Layne Stayled died. Its a big loss to the music industry. Sean Corvik just wants to pay his final respect to him.

JP: Oh ok, I understand now.

(Corvik walks to ringside and climbs on the apron and places the wastebasket on the apron and he grabs the cookie sheet and a trashcan lid out of the basket and takes it with him in the ring).

(The referee explains the rules one more time, but Corvik and Lemke aren't listening. They know the rules and all they want is start this match).

Ding ding ding

JP: Oh man, its on. This match has begun!!! Corvik got the cookie sheet in his right hand and he and Lemke circle eachother for about 10 seconds. Lemke then does a step forward and more or less motions to Corvik to use the cookie sheet and to hit him in the head with it. Corvik is a little bit surprised in the way Lemke reacts. Corvik hesitates for a moment, but then he drops the cookie sheet to the mat. Corvik and Lemke circle eachother again for about 8 seconds and then they tie up.

ND: Corvik then pushes Lemke away from him and follows that up with a viscious right one to the head. Lemke counters and the two start to exchange punches back and forth. Corvik gets the better off the exchange as he knocks Lemke away. Corvik grabs Lemke by the arm and he goes to irish whip him into the barbewired ropes. But Lemke manages to reverse the irish whip and sends Corvik to the barbewired ropes, but Corvik is able to stop before he flies into them.

JP: Corvik turns around and for the third time he and Lemke circle eachother. Corvik now comes in and he kicks Lemke to the gut. He delivers another two quick kicks to the midsection and then he follows that up with a kneelift and that one takes Lemke to the mat. Corvik now walks over to the cookie sheet and picks it up. He moves back over to Lemke and whacks him in the head with the cookie sheet. We can even see the dent in the cookie sheet now!!! Man, he hit him hard with that cookie sheet!!

ND: Corvik drops the cookie sheet and he drags Lemke him over to the barbewired ropes. Lemke is struggling, but he can't fight Corvik. Corvik places Lemke under the bottom barbewire and he then starts to choke his opponent with that barbewired rope!! Ooooh my Goodddd, he's not only choking him, but Lemke starts to bleed right away!! His throat is bleeding!! This is insane!! Corvik then grabs part of the barbewired and he rubs it over Lemke's forehead and his forehead is busted open now and he starts to bleed. Man, he's already bleeding this early in the match!!

JP: Yeah and thats not good. Not good at all. Corvik is definately on top right now. He now picks Lemke up by the hair and he throws a couple of punches. He then drags him over to the corner with the alcohol. Corvik lifts Lemke up and OOOOOOHHH MMMY GODDD!!!! HE PILEDRIVES LEMKE INTO THE ALCOHOL!!!! And we can hear Lemke screaming it out now from the pain. Just imagine that combination, a busted open face and pure alcohol!! That can't be good!!! Lemke is almost like paniccing now from the pain, it really hurts. He now even rips a part of his shirt and uses it to wipe his face off!!

ND: Man, look at that face. He probly wonders why he decided to accept this match in the first place!!! Corvik grabs the trashcan lid and once again he goes over to Lemke. Corvik swings, but ooooh somehow Lemke blocks it!! And he counters with kicking Corvik to the midsection!!! And he follows that up with a slingshot and Corvik flies headfirst into the barbewire!!! Holy Geezus!!! Corviks face smashed into that barbewire!!! Did you see that!!! Lemke takes a few deep breaths and he then grabs Corvik and pulls him out of the barbewire.

JP: He then grabs the trashcan lid and he bashes it into Corviks head. He repeats that for about 5 times and Corvik staggers backwards and falls backfirst into the barbewired ropes!!!! AND HE'S STUCK IN THE BARBEWIRE!!! The barbewire is stuck to his back right now!!! Lemke then comes in with the trashan lid and WHAMMMM!!! Ramms it again into Corvik's face!!!! Lemke then drops the lid and he takes a few steps back and then charges in on Corvik and clotheslines him Mick Foley style over the toprope to the outside, so Lemke flies to the outside aswell!! Oh man, I think both men got cuts all over their bodies right now!!!

ND: Corvik and Lemke are both laying on the outside right now. Both laying in their own blood. After about 8 seconds it is Lemke who's the first one to get back up again. He walks over to the wastebasket that Corvik brought to the ring and he empties it and grabs the kitchen sink. Lemke goes back over to Corvik and ramms the kitchen sink into Corvik's stomach. Corvik goes down to his knees again and Lemke then knocks Corvik in the head with that kitchen sink!!! Corvik falls down to the concrete and looks to be unconscious.

JP: Lemke drops the kitchen sink on the floor and he then climbs the apron. He then runs towards Corvik and jumps off the apron and lands with a sommersault splash on the Universal Champion!!! Oooooh man, what a move!!! What a dare-devil move by Lemke. He's putting everything in this match!!! Lemke now is back up again and he picks up Corvik by the head and lifts him back on the apron. Lemke climbs on the apron aswell and he throws Corvik through the barbewired ropes into the ring. Lemke walks over to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle. He gets on top and he jumps off for a kneedrop on Corvik and he hits it!!!

ND: Lemke then goes for the first cover in this match, 1...........................2...........................but wowwww Corvik kicks out!!! Amazing!!! Lemke picks Corvik up and he drags him over to the corner with the salt. He lifts Corvik up and he bodyslams him backfirst into the salt!!! And the salt goes straight into the cuts that Corvik suffered on his back, arms and legs!!! And that hurts!!! Corvik is in pain, but he's trying to hide it. He's trying to hide the pain!!! But is that possible?!? I don't think so!!! Lemke now drags Corvik over to the middle of the ring.

JP: And he goes for another cover attempt, 1...........................2...............but Corvik kicks out again!! Lemke shakes his head and now he drags Corvik over to the corner with the glass. He lifts Corvik up and goes to powerbomb him into the glass. He lifts him up, but Corvik blocks it!!!! Lemke tries again, but for the second time Corvik blocks it!! I can't believe it!!! Lemke tries for a third time, but again Corvik blocks it and he reverses and backdrops Lemke and Lemke falls into the glass!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOH MMMMMMYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD!!!!!

ND: This could be the turning point!! Well actually this IS the turning point. Lemke is laying in pain in the glass, while Corvik is struggling to stay on his feet. Corvik now also wipes his face with his shirt. It looks like that shirt is totall red now from his own blood. Lemke is slowly crawling back up again and to the middle of the ring. He gets up and he and Corvik go right at it again. Corvik throws a right one and hits Lemke to the side of the head. Lemke staggers backwards!! But he comes back and returns with a right one of his own!! This time Corvik stumbles backwards a few steps. But none of them is going down!!

JP: Lemke then goes for another right hand, but this time Corvik blocks it and he counters and grabs Lemke and .....SEDATION!!!!..... And this could be it!!! And Corvik knows it and he goes for the pin, 1.........................2....................but Lemke kicks out of that one!!! Corvik seems eager to end this as soon as possible as he picks up Lemke right away. He hammers down on him for about 3 times and he then irish whips him into the barbewired ropes!!! This time Lemke even comes off the ropes and .....CORVIK HITS HIM WITH HIS INSANITIES EMBRACE!!!!

ND: Now it really could be over!!! Lemke goes down from that superkick and Corvik crawls on top off him and even hooks the leg. The ref starts to count, 1...............................2......................nooooooo he kicks out!!! Lemke kicked out of that one!! How did he do that?!? Even Corvik can't believe it I think. Corvik shakes his head, and wipes the blood out of his eyes. He then picks up Lemke and throws another fist to the face!!! He then grabs Lemke by the head and DDT's him to the mat!!! Corvik for another cover, but again he only gets a two count.

JP: Corvik is still in disbelief and he grabs Lemke by the head and he throws him into one of the four corners!!! He throws him into the corner with the salt!! Lemke flies backfirst into the turnbuckles!!! Corvik then follows in hot pursuit, but OOOOOOOHHH Lemke manages to grab a bit of salt and when Corvik reaches him he throws the salt in Corviks eyes!!!! And Corvik is screaming it out from the pain now!!! God, I can't imagine how that must hurt!!! Lemke now comes out of the corner and he pushes Corvik backwards!!! Corvik still can't see anything coz of that salt in his eyes!!

ND: Corvik stumbles backwards and now he's pretty close to the glass corner. Lemke then comes in and HE SPEARS CORVIK INTO THE GLASS!!!!!!! And Corvik got glass all over his back!!!! How much worse is this gonna get?!? Lemke now goes for the pin, 1........................................2..........................but Corvik kicks out of this!!! Man, I don't know what these two men have in mind, but this is insane!!! I have never seen anything like it!! I never seen anything as bloody as this. Well except for when a girl has her monthly thingy.

JP: NEIL!!!!

ND: Sorry, but I just couldn't resist!!

JP: Lemke picks Corvik up and he lifts him up and he wants to OUTCAST him!!!! But Corvik pushes Lemke away from him in the very last moment!!! Lemke then grabs Corvik by the arm and he irish whips him, but Corvik reverses the irish whip and sends Lemke into the barbewired ropes. Lemke comes off and OOOOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOO CORVIK HOOKS IN THE DARKEST HOUR ON LEMKE!!!!!! THIS IS IT!!!! HE GOT IT HOOKED IN AND LEMKE IS STRUGGLING....STRUGGLING FOR HIS LIFE!!!!!.......Lemke is doing everything to get out of the Darkest Hour now and he manages to drag Corvik over to the side and .....OOOOOHHHHH ....THEY BOTH FALL INTO THE BARBEWIRED ROPES!!!

ND: Can you believe that?!?!! Have you ever seen anything like that!!! Ofcourse Corvik had to let go off the Darkest Hour!!! But man, the determination in Lemke to get out of that submission was unbelievable!!! Both men are laying halfway in the barbewired ropes now. And both men are slowly getting back up again. Corvik is back on one knee and so is Lemke now. Corvik is back on his feet now and Lemke is following the example. Corvik slowly moves up to Lemke, but ooooooh Lemke with a kick to the midsection and .......OUTCAST!!!!!

JP: HE OUTCASTED CORVIK!!! LEMKE OUTCASTED CORVIK!!!!.......Corvik is layed out, but so is Lemke!!! Man, this took alot out of both men!! This must be one of the hardest matches they have ever fought!!! Lemke now goes for the cover, 1...........................................2..............................................CORVIK KICKS OUT!!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE!!!!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE!!!!! ITS NOT POSSIBLE BUT IT HAPPENS!!!! Lemke seems to be in shock, he can't understand what just happend. He can't understand what Corvik just did!!!

ND: Lemke puts his head in his hands and wipes off some of the blood. He then slowly moves over to Corvik and picks him up by the head. He chops him to the chest and goes to set him up for another OUTCAST!!!.... Lemke lifts him up, but Corvik manoeuvres out of the Outcast hold in the last second!!!! Lemke wants to hook it in again, and charges in on Corvik, but Corvik sees him coming and he can counter with clotheslining Lemke to the mat!!! He then picks up Lemke and ......OUTCAST!!!!!! NOW ITS CORVIK WHO OUTCASTS LEMKE!!!!

JP: Now I wonder if Corvik is gonna end this!!! Corvik puts his arm on Lemke's body and the referee starts to count, 1.......................................2...............................KICKOUT!!!! LEMKE KICKS OUT ASWELL!!!!! It just can't get any better in this one here!!! First Corvik kicks out of the Outcast and now Lemke does the same thing!! When is this thing ever gonna end!!!

ND: Corvik is getting back up now and he limps over to Lemke and he drags him over to the corner with the thumbtacks. He picks up Lemke who is almost out of it. He lifts Lemke up and ......OUTCAST ON THE THUMBTACKS!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! HE JUST OUTCASTED LEMKE ON THE THUMBTACKS!!!!! Lemke got thumbtacks all over his body right now!!!! And Corvik goes for the cover, is this gonna be it?!? ........1...........................................................2...........................................................3... YES THATS IT!!! ITS OVER!!!! SEAN CORVIK WON THIS GRUEOME BLOODY BATTLE!!!!

JP: Holy Geezus what a match!!! This one goes into the EWCL history books allright!! If it only is coz its the most bloody match ever!!! This one tops the barbewired ladder match between Joe Johnson and Dan Prohibition. But respect to both wrestlers here. This show was unbelievable and hear that crowd going, they are going insane for these two wrestlers!!!

(While Sean Corvik collected his Universal Title and is about to leave the ring, we see that Chris Lemke is moving back up again).

Chris: Sean...Sean no no wait man. Don't leave.

(Sean, barely able to stumple down the entranceway, mouths "what do you want now?")

Chris: This match is about something more than this title, or us beating the hell out of each other...this match was about respect.

(Sean uses the guardrailto pull himself to his feet, his battered body hardly able to stay upright. He calls for a microphone and Jay Blue carries it to Corvik.)

Corvik: Shoot me. I forgot it was a respect match.

(Sean sighs, spitting blood to his side).

Corvik: Exile...

(He sighs again, searching for the words to say.)

Corvik: I ......I respect you.

(Exile wipes his brow trying to clear away enough of the blood to see Sean).

Chris: Its more than that Sean....its....Look sean. You're the best freind i have ever had. I've always respected you. And i know that we have been going through some rough times recently but all of that is in the past now.

(Sean sweeps a drenched lock of hair from his face, back to his shoulder).

Corvik - I don't...fuck...I don't know what you're trying to say.

Chris: I...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I wish that I could go back and fix all of the things that Exile has done to you. But Sean, you are my brother, you are my best freind, and i want you to be the first to know that tonight....tonight i end my wrestling career.

(The crowd roars in a mix of applause and jeers. Sean's jaw drops and so does his microphone as he can only stare at Exile).

Chris: Exile is gone Sean. Ive finally able to reclaim my life and its time for me to move on. Its time for me to find out who i really am. And its time for my to ride off into the sunset if i may be so clich�d.

(Sean's face slowly turns from hurt and twisted to some semblance of human creatures. He wips his eye for a moment, limping on his leg still).

Chris: Sean. I wanted you to out here to say im sorry. for everything. and I hope that you can find in your heart to forgive me.

(Sean keeps his place, his eyes welling up as he still cannot find the suitable words to utter).

Chris: Ive made your life a living hell for the past 6 months. Jesus Sean I threw you off a damn balcony. And for what? For Exiles desire to kill everything that meant something to me. Its just...look i know there is nothing that i can say that can make it better but i want you to at least know that im sorry, and that you will always be my brother.

(Sean bows his head and limps up the ramp, showing extreme pain in doing so, but still pushing himself to get to the ring, and rolls under it. His body simply a crimson latex jumpsuit. Sean then grabs the rope and gets to his feet).

(Exile seems a bit hesistant after the battle that they have had. A bit fearful of his friends reaction to his news but he tries to stand firm).

Chris: Sean, theres something else I want you to have.

(Exile extends his hand to Sean).

(Sean returns the handshake).

Chris: Finally theres one thing that I want you to do.

Sean: What's that?

Chris: I want you to make me a promise.

(Corvik remains in disbelief, not having broken the handshake yet).

Corvik: What...?

Chris: I want you to always remember that the EWCL is just a part of who you are. And that the other part is sitting at home everynight. Remember your family. Its the most important thing you have in your life. I know that sounds cheesy. But take it from me, someone who had one of the most screwed up childhoods ever. Just remember that Sean Corvik is not just a wrestler. but that he has a wonderful wife and a beautiful daughter too. Promise me that.

Corvik: Jesus Christ Chris I don't know what to say...

Chris: All you have to say is that you will never forget. Youll never forget what you have waiting for you at home. Because that is what life is about, not belts or wins, but the people that will be there for you for the rest of your life.

Corvik: I...I promise...

Chris: Thank you. For everything Sean. Thank You.

(Sean pulls Exile in his arms and they embrace).

(Exile seems a bit shocked by Seans actions but returns the embrace as two finally put all of thier past discresions behind them Chris breaks the embrace and turns towards the fans).

Chris: I have been through a war. Not just the one the fans have been privved to see here in the ring. But a war in my head. A war between Exile and Chris Lemke, fighting for control. To see who was stronger, the humanity or the beast. And this time, well lets just that I'm very happy to be standing here. But this was my last match. Wow. It even seems weird to me. Its a bit surreal. Ive been doing this for well lets just say a very long time with all the aches and pains that im feeling tonight, perhaps a bit too long. But this buisiness is one of a kind. And im damn proud to say that I am a professional wrestler, im damn proud to be here in the EWCL, and im damn proud to have been able to come out here night after night and put on a show for you fans. But its time to figure out who Chris Lemke is, this time without Exile hanging over me. I want to start a family, have a normal life. And that is why its my time to pass on the spotlight. Thank you all very much, for the memories, for the fun, for the friends.

(Exile raises his hand to the overwhelming response from the fans).

JP: Oh man this is the end of an era allright!! Chris Lemke, otherwise known as Exile is retiring!! This has been the last match in his career!! And we had the honour to see that match live!! Right here on Deliverance!!!

ND: Even I got tears in my eyes now.

JP: And what an end of this evening people. What a night, what a tremendous PPV we have seen. Deliverance was equal to excitement and action!! And we can't wait till next week!!!

ND: Neither can I!!!

JP: So all of you, hopefully till next week. Have a good evening!!!
