Tournament of Champions is quickly approaching and many are anticipating what the outcome of many feuds will be.  It�s solely on the shoulders of the talent to determine their own fates.  When I say fate, I don�t mean as in death, but as in defeating their opponent and moving to the next plateau.

One of the most anticipated battles to come to a head at Tournament of Champions is that of The Punisher, who is the current Hardcore Champion, against a man on a mission, �The Montreal Badass� Method Cobra.  These two paths have crossed all too many times and it has finally come to a head.  For the past few weeks, these two men have been trying to literally murder each other by running each other down with cars and hitting each other in the head with sledgehammers.  Now, their battles will end in Hell, 3 stages of Hell.

Also, the pay per view return of Hulk Hogan is on the horizon, as he returns to the ring in JWA:EWA, to take on up and coming �Hero of the People�, Herod.  Though this match won�t happen on the actual event, it will be shown on free television as a dark match to get the crowd ready for the night�s events.  It will be a treat to see the legendary Hulkster in the ring to take on a man who many say could be the next coming of Hogan or the next Patriot.

After a few months in JWA:EWA, Pohatu and The Tiger have been tearing up the Action Zone scene, with Pohatu making it to the finals of the Universal Championship tournament and The Tiger winning the Extreme 24/7 Championship.  Now the two have gotten together and have called themselves Nature, will tag together and will face the World Tag Team Champions, White Dragon and Shadow.  This match will be a beauty, as the champs will look to maintain the titles that they just won a couple weeks ago but will have a tough time doing so against a team many regard as the most skilled with in-ring ability.  Many won�t be surprised if new World Tag Team Champions are crowned, but White Dragon and Shadow will see to it that those who feel they are the underdogs are dead wrong for feeling that way.

Shane Diamond shocked the world when he won the Action Zone Championship in his first match after being traded from Extreme Zone.  He had shown the world that he was worth his weight in diamonds when he defeated The Invincible in record time but his reign as Champion was tested when he had to face the surging Triple D for the title at last month�s pay per view, Payback.  Not only did Triple D tell the world that he was going to win, his actions backed up his words.  Triple D is the current Action Zone Champion while Shane Diamond was sent home to lick his wounds.  Now, Shane Diamond is back in the hunt to once again become Action Zone Champion but he must get over a man who has been on the back burner for so long, Senor Gomez.  This #1 contenders match will be one for the ages as they look to not only get a shot at the title, but to help re-elevate the title to the prestigious heights it was intended to have.  Gomez will make the most of this opportunity, as he hasn�t had many and title shots are far and few in JWA:EWA.  Shane Diamond will try to show the world that his title win wasn�t a fluke and will attempt to take down another surging talent, looking to gun him down.

Morbid Angel is such an enigma, he overshadowed Vegito in taking the Intercontinental Championship from him.  Morbid Angel hit Vegito over 10 times with a chair across the back and head in his victory over Vegito, to proclaim himself as a man to be reckon with.  Vegito was set up to regain the championship at Extreme Zone XLII in a steel cage to get some sort of revenge but Morbid Angel once again bled the former champion but there was no winner as both men fell out of the cage door simultaneously, ending in a draw and Morbid Angel retaining the title of Intercontinental Champion.  Now, with Vegito out of the way, Morbid Angel has a man who he has requested be his next challenge, a man who many fear but see as a true challenge to their ability.  Morbid Angel wishes to face this man and show the world that he�s not all that he�s made out to be.  That man would be The Corpse.  The Corpse is also a stablemate of Vegito, so that adds more to the aura of this match.  Morbid Angel wishes to punish The Corpse just as he did Vegito and show the world that he�s no one hit wonder.  The Corpse, coming back from a lengthy layoff and a match at Payback, will look to work off the ring rust with a title victory.  Though there was no buildup to this match, many say that the hate that Morbid Angel has for The Corpse will cause this match to be main event material.

Many say that Randy Orton and Ric Flair are on the verge of a break up, as Flair wishes for another title run before he calls it quits.  Though Triple Threat leader, Batista, brushed off Flair�s request for a title shot, Flair has remained calm about the situation and will take his place in line.  Yet, Randy Orton hasn�t had much to say about it as he looks to maintain his spot as Tag Team Champion, alongside Flair.  Yet, there is some tension in the ranks of The Triple Threat and many are expecting either Orton and Batista to side with one another or for Flair to up and leave the group.  But first, Flair and Orton have business to take care of and that business comes in the form of Vegito and Chronic.  Vegito and Chronic, along with The Corpse rival The Triple Threat as the main trio of Extreme Zone and quiet possibly the entire JWA:EWA.  Chronic is freshly bruised from his hellashish Glass Bong Cage match against Flair at Extreme Zone XLII and those two will once again be across the ring from each other.  Vegito will be looking to regain some gold after he couldn�t get his hands on some against Morbid Angel.  This match will go down for the ages as these two teams don�t like each other and the legendary Flair could be the wild card.

Last month in Manchester, England, these two fought in a UK Street Fight for the JWA:EWA World Heavyweight Championship now, stateside, Vulcan looks to avenge the beating he took at the hands of Batista and once again, attempt to take the title away from him.  This will be Vulcan�s last chance at the championship and if he doesn�t win it, then he has to stand at the back of the line.  Batista has talked about a plan he has for the entire Extreme Zone roster but has yet to reveal a hint.  Was the trouncing he and Randy Orton gave The Unholy Legion a sign of things to come?  Or will Batista finally come out and say what his plan is?  This match will go down in history and hopefully Vulcan will be on the lighter side of this history making match.

Too much mouthing off has caused Virus and Triple D to issue an ambulance to be at ringside, because some is going to get hurt.  Both talk a good game and only one of them will walk out as the Action Zone Champion.  Virus is on a roll as he is the current Universal Champion and looks to once again become Action Zone Champion by shutting up and defeating the man who has the biggest mouth in JWA:EWA, the current Action Zone Champion, Triple D.  The loser goes home in an ambulance, the winner goes home with the title.  It�s time to put up or shut up.

All this and appearances from Master Cool, Genocide, Alex, Alex Auldron, Respawn, Ryan Pilig, The Game, Shane O�Riley, Shadow, and Tony Lee volume 1.  This is sure to be one of the better pay per views of the year and gearing up for Final Destination, where a surprise is going to happen for 2 lucky superstars.  Those two superstars will be announced after Tournament of Champions.
