(The lights in the arena go out. Suddenly, there's a blast of pyro as the opening video for UWF theEDGE! is playing on the jumbotron and "Saturday Night's Alright (theEDGE! version)" by Nickelback booms loudly.)

For Fighting! Johanna: Making his way to the ring, providing commentary for this evening, Joey Styles! ("This is Extreme" by Harry Slash and the Slashtones hits as Styles steps into the ring and holds onto the mic.) Johanna: And his broadcast colleague, Joel Gurtner! ("Want" by Disturbed hits as Gurtner enters the ring as his partner holds the mic up.) Styles: Welcome, everyone, you're watching UWF theEDGE live on tv! (The crowd starts to cheer at hearing this.) Styles: My name is Joey Styles! (His partner takes the mic away, mid-sentence.) Gurtner: And well, well, well. It is I, the quintessential studmuffin, Joel "You..... Voice: Whoa, Whoa whoa. stop! (The camera moves to see the part UWF owner the Chuckster standing by the curtains with microphone in hand. The crowd shows it's disdain.) Crowd: Booooooo! Chuckster: That's right! You can boo me all you want! You can shower me with your malcontent. but nothing will change! (The crowd now starts to chant. Differently.) Crowd: @$$ Hole! @$$ Hole! @$$ Hole! (The Chuckster starts to smile as he takes it all in. After it starts to die down, he continues talking.) Chuckster: UPWA is taking over and there is nothing that the UWF can do about it! Crowd: Booooooo! Chuckster: That's right! As a matter of fact this upcoming UWF pay per view is called Armageddon! And it is called that for a reason! Tonight. I am issuing a challenge to every man in the UWF. WE WILL HAVE A TWO TEAM. EIGHT MAN ELIMINATION MATCH! (The crowd cheers at hearing this, but the Chuckster raises his hand to continue onward.) Chuckster: Two teams four men to each! When one team is totally eliminated. that other team is proclaimed the winners! (Again the crowd cheers at hearing this, but the Chuckster raises his hand to continue onward once more.) Chuckster: The teams will be UWF. vs UPWA! And the captains will be each federation's champions! (The crowd explodes at hearing this.) Chuckster: BUT IF THE UWF. LOSES. THE UWF. WILL BELONG TO UPWA! Crowd: Booooooo! Chuckster: I hope you all enjoy! (With a content smile he tosses the microphone into the crowd, as he passes back through the curtains, and the scene turns to black.) ~*COMMERCIAL BREAK*~ (We come back with Joey Styles and Joel Gurtner talking.) Styles: OH MY GOD! Can you believe that announcement? Gurtner: No I can't! Styles: Wow. an interesting night already. to say the least Gurtner: What do you think will happen? Styles: I have no idea. but I don't want to think about that right now! As the introductions are finished Franchise wastes no time as he hits Brett Hardy across the head. Hardy fights back as AJ just watches the two fight. As Franchise and Hardy continue AJ runs at both and double closelines them. Gurtner: Looks as if AJ was waiting for his moment.

Franchise grabs Hardy and rolls him into the ring as he grabs Hardy and throws him over the guarding rail. Franchise rolls back into the ring, he gets back to his feet and waits for AJ to get up. Franchise kicks AJ in the gut and locks his arms up for a DropZone. Styles: Franchise going to end this match this early. Gurtner: Sin get ready for your future contender.

I am just confused. The lights come back on as the entire ring is covered in fake blood. Franchise and Hardy are dyed in the red liquid as AJ is laid out. Franchise kicks Hardy in the gut and hits the DropZone on him. He covers Hardy. Ref: 1.. 2.. 3.. WINNER: Franchise Franchise looks around wondering what occurred as he rolls out of the ring looking pissed. Joey Styles: What on earth just happened, and how did the Franchise win? Joel Gurtner: I don't know, but he doesn't look happy about it...idiot! You won. Be happy! Joey Styles: That's not how he wanted to win. Joel Gurtner: But by hook or by crook, a win is a win! ~*COMMERCIAL BREAK*~ (The scene cuts back to a backstage area where the Chuckster is talking to someone on a cellular phone.) Chuckster: All right great! I will arrange for you to fly in here next week for your debut! I'm looking forward to seeing you. . . . right. . . . right. . . . well as I said next week all right?

Ross: It'd be nice of you to leave me alone instead of callin' me to yo' office. (The Chuckster smiles at hearing this.) Chuckster: Well. I invited you in here for one thing. I wanted to talk about your title defense at Armageddon! Ross: Ya, and just to let you know, I'm lookin' forward to kicking some AJ Phoenix....or even UPWA ass! (The Chuckster laughs his cocky laugh at hearing this. He nods his head as he speaks) Chuckster: Great. great! Well I just wanted to wish you luck in preparing for your hardcore gauntlet match! Ross: Hold up, ninja. Gauntlet?! (The smirk still stays on his face.) Chuckster: Yeah. And now all is said and done. (Jeff Ross looks at him in disgust.) Chuckster: This is me leaving! . This is me leaving! (Jeff Ross takes the cue and heads toward the door.) Chuckster: Oh Jeff. (Ross turns around at the doorway.) Chuckster: If you lose. your fired from the UWF! Ross: What the fuck?! (The scene fades to black as the Chuckster cackles maniacally in his chair as we fade back to the arena.) Styles: OH MY GOD! Can you believe that? Gurtner: A night of surprises! Styles: Jeff Ross will be defending his title in a gauntlet match! He doesn't know his opponents. and if he loses he's fired! Gurtner: That sucks! Styles: Yeah tell me about it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A drawn out reverb plays over the loudspeakers, echoing throughout the arena, as the song Rock is Dead by Marylin Manson begins to pipe through to the ears of everyone listening. The bright lights of the arena dim down and the only illumination left is the red lights of the cameras rolling and fans taking pictures. A hollow red glow begins to eminate through rising smoke at the entrance way. The camera cuts to a framed shot of the entrance curtains which are now an onimous blood red from the glow. The curtains part and a man wearing a strange black and red ronin robe with menacing shoulder pads, and a masking hood steps onto the walkway. Sin holds his hands up as if recieving praise, but instead boos and yells of hatred. He walks down to the ring with a rather quick pace. Grabbing the bottom rope, Sin pulls himself up onto the apron on one knee. He stands up and steps through the ropes into the ring. Sin climbs up onto the turnbuckles and removes the hood. He opens his robe to reveal the UWF Universal Championship. He holds it up high, and the crowd goes crazy with hatred. Sin laughs to himself and throws the belt at the referee as the music dies down. DING! DING! DING! Johanna: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is theEDGE! Main Event. First, the reigning and defending UWF Universal Champion, standing 6'1 and weighing 215 pounds, Sin! And his opponent, from Detroit City, standing 6'3 and weighing 227 pounds, the one, the only, the CROW! (The lights in the arena dim out to pitch blackness. Not one person in the arena can see a foot in front of his face. The fans start whistling until three cymbal crashes are heard followed by a bird cawing. The music starts; it's "Devil's Dance" by Metallica and the San Fransisco Orchestra. A spotlight shines on the ring in the center of which Sin stands. He looks around only to have a bird, a crow, commit a diving attack onto him out of the air. He ducks, and it flies back into the air. The spotlight follows the bird until it stops in the rafters landing on the shoulder of the Crow. He stands there for a moment and climbs over the rail. He holds his arms out perpendicularly, parallel to the ground, and steps forward into the air. The fans gasp before realizing he zips down from a cable and lands at the base of the entrance ramp. He releases himself from the cable and quickly climbs up the steel steps and into the ring. The Crow turns around and mounts the second turnbuckle. He holds his arms out again causing his coat to part and show a black UWF logo t-shirt. Sin nails a forearm shot onto the Crow from behind.) DING! DING! DING! Joey Styles: Now, we're officially under way as Sin delivers a cheap shot on the Crow. Sin climbs onto the second rope and grabs the Crow delivering a Russian Leg Sweep off the turnbuckle. Sin rolls over onto his feet and delivers a quick fist drop. He gets up and delivers another. He covers. Ref: 1...break The Crow is able to kick out at one. He's picked up by Sin and put in a side headlock. The Crow starts fighting out of it, countering the move into an overhead keylock. The referee goes behind Sin who siezes the chance to pull the Crow's hair, putting him back in the headlock. Joey Styles: What cheap tactics by Sin! Who the hell does he think he is? Joel Gurtner: The Universal Champion, that's who! The Crow starts fighting out again. And again, Sin pulls the hair. This time, the Crow counters the hair-pulling by holding onto Sin's arm and turning it into a hammerlock on Sin's left arm. Crow holds onto Sin's left wrist with his left hand and goes around to the front of Sin. He picks Sin up and scoop slams him onto his left arm. Crowd: Oooh Joey Styles: What a technically sound move by the challenger. Crow now puts Sin in a surfboard. Joel Gurtner: No, Sin. Fight out of it! Joey Styles: The Crow has on a painful submission locked in. Joel Gurtner: Sin will get out of it. Watch. Moments pass, and Sin is still in the hold. Joey Styles: What was that, Joel? Joel Gurtner: What was what? Joey Styles: Nevermind. Joel Gurtner: That's what I thought. Sin starts fighting out of the move. He gets to his feet, but the Crow still has the hold locked in. Crow lets go and grabs Sin by the chin. Crow falls onto his back, pulling Sin backwards by the chin. Sin lands on the Crow's knees. *CRACK* Crowd: OOOOH The Crow covers. Ref: 1...2... Joel Gurtner: Oh, thank God. The Crow picks Sin up and whips him against the ropes. Crow bends for a backdrop, but Sin stops and kicks him in the face. With Crow now standing, Sin delivers a shining apprentice, knocking his challenger down. Joel Gurtner: With one devestating kick, the tide has changed. With the Crow on his stomach, Sin drops an elbow to the small of the back. He then locks in an STF. Joey Styles: STF Submission by the Champion. How much fight is left in the Crow? Joel Gurtner: Not much! The Crow is able to maneuver his leg free. Sin now only has a side headlock on. Crow fights his way back to his feet. He delivers some back elbows to the gut of Sin and runs towards the ropes. He bounces off only to be met with a knee to the mid-section. Crowd: OOOH, AWWW Joel Gurtner: Try as he might, the Crow can't fight his way out of Sin's grasp. Sin takes his hand and does a cutting motion across his throat. Joel Gurtner: It's over now, Joey! Sin takes the Crow by the hair, picking him up. He puts Crow in position for the Inverted Styles Clash. Joel Gurtner: Cruci-Fiction! Joey Styles: The Crow's fighting it with every fiber in his being. The Crow fights his way down and back to his feet. He goes for a quick clothesline, but Sin ducks and goes behind him grabbing him by the waist. Sin delivers a beautiful.... Joel Gurtner: German Suplex! Joey Styles: One problem... Joel Gurtner: Draven lands on his feet. NO! Joey Styles: Yup....and it's the Crow, damn you! Sin gets up pointing to his temple as if saying how smart he is. Not smart enough as the Crow grabs him from the back of the head and delivers a huge Death Drop DDT! Now, both men are down. Ref: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... Joey Styles: Come on, Crow. Get up! Joel Gurtner: Stay down. Please, for the love of God, stay down. Ref: 6... 7... 8... Crow makes it back to his feet. He pulls himself up by the ropes and climbs onto the ring apron. The fans are on their feet as they know what to expect. Joey Styles: We haven't seen this in a while. It's gonna' be the Leap of Faith coming at you! Joel Gurtner: No! Joey Styles: Yes! Joel Gurtner: Sin and I say NO! Sin picks up his leg and pushes the referee with his foot. The ref falls against the top rope, knocking it and Crow off balance, crotching him. Joel Gurtner: That's gotta' hurt. Sin gets to his feet and climbs to the second turnbuckle. Joey Styles: No, way. It can't be! Joel Gurtner: Yes, he's setting up for the Styles Clash - or Inverted Cruci-Fiction - off the second rope. Joey Styles: Oh, God, no. The Crow starts fighting back, however, and now only as his head between Sin's thigh. Crow pulls his head back and headbutts Sin in the stomach. He gets to his feet and sits on the second turnbuckle as he delivers a forearm across the back of Sin. The Crow yells out and poses with his arms out as Sin's head is in between his thighs now. Joel Styles: It's going to be a huge Crucifix powerbomb off the top rope! Joel Gurtner: I said No! Joey Styles: What the hell is this?! The Crow delivers the seated Crucifix powerbomb and now has Sin covered. *THUD* Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Ref: 1..... 2..... The Chuckster, who just ran down the ramp, pulls the referee out and punches him in the face. The referee is knocked down and out as the bell sounds. The Crow gets to his feet pissed off and climbs out of the ring. He now stands face to face with the Chuckster. Chuck looks a wee bit scared, and runs off. The Crow chases him around the ring until finally Chuck slides into the ring. The Crow follows. He gets up in the ring only to walk into a boot to the stomach from Sin followed by the Cruci-Fiction! Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The bell continues to sound, but Sin and the Chuckster continue to beat stomp on the Crow. Sin climbs out of the ring as Chuck lays in some boots. Sin comes back in with the UWF Title belt. He puts one foot on the Crow and holds the belt high in his right hand which is held up by the Chuckster. Joey Styles: I can't believe this. The UWF is falling apart thanks to that man, and Sin, the UWF Champion, is only helping. Joel Gurtner: Joey, even I have to say right now that I'm scared. Scared I'm going to lose my job, and scared we're going to lose the company. Joey Styles: May God have mercy on our UWF souls! The show fades to black. |
