The Scene opens up with Hazel paging Mike. Mike Collins steps out of his office and the crowd cheers at his appearance.

Hazel: All the paper work is done for the new recruit sir, but there's still the task of getting it down to HR.

Mike Collins: HR?

Hazel: yes sir. Everytime Ervin makes a new hire, he goes down the hall to HR and discusses it with them, I could.. take you there if you'd like.

Mike Collins: Would you? I know don't my ass from a hole in the ground in this place anymore.

Hazel laughs and gets up from her desk, and escorts Mike out of the door of the office.

Jackhammer: Well folks we’ve got quite a show for you tonight!

Cecil: That’s right, tonight marks the reopening of CHCW! It’s been over a year since we closed down our doors, but tonight fans are in for a real treat.

Jackhammer: Several veterans have returned for some action. Tonight we begin a battle for the world title. It looks like Ervin has quite the lineup.

Cecil: Don’t forget about Mike Collins, the co-owner of CHCW. These guys have a long history, and it looks like it’s heating up fast. Our first event tonight will be featuring-

(Cecil is cut off as “Sad But True” blares throughout the stadium.)

Jackhammer: What’s this? It looks like Hellen Collins is in the building! I don’t think we were expecting to find her in the building tonight.

(The fans erupt as Hellen Collins steps out from backstage. She stops at the top of the ramp, looking around at the packed arena. Hellen proceeds down the ramp, climbing into the ring. An attendant hands her a microphone)

Hellen: Miss me?

(She pauses as the arena erupts into cheers once again. Hellen waves at the crowd, smiling, The cheers slowly die down as she signals for quiet.)

Hellen: It’s been too long, hasn’t it? It’s been over a year since I’ve been able to come out here and have a chat with the loyal CHCW fans. The last time I saw you, I was in this ring as Hellraiser kicking some ass!

Jackhammer: It's true. Hellen holds the CHCW record for longest title reign.

Cecil: Yep, just barely passing Weapon X's. Hellen: I’m not here for a fight tonight.

(The crowd boos, starting up a chant up “HELLRAISER! HELLRAISER!”)

Hellen: I know, it’s a shame. Instead, I’m here tonight to share some exciting news with you. As we’ve learned recently, my husband Mike purchased a large share in the CHCW. As co-owner, he id looking forward to making some changes around here.

Cecil: Pfft, don't change anything, CHCW is what it was.. you change that, and it's no better than any other piss poor federation!

Jackhammer: come on Cecil, I know where you're going, but CHCW didn't need to do SOME of the things it did..

Hellen: CHCW was once a proud federation displaying some of the most talented stars professional wrestling has seen. Matches were of the highest quality, and a fan could look forward to seeing what would happen next.Kyle Ervin changed that. He slowly and methodically ran this federation into the ground. He replaced the talent with people who would do his bidding, regardless of the cost. He chased off the greats with lowball tactics and cheating. Ervin tried to turn the fed into his machine rather than the legacy it had become.

Cecil: She might want to be careful what she says.. Mr. Ervin has a temper..

Hellen: Of course, Ervin had a history of dirty business tactics. I wound up at CHCW through one of them. Long ago Kyle bought out the UHW, the birthplace of my career. Without much of an option, I accepted CHCW. That was one of the best decisions I made. Not because of the leadership, or what Ervin promised, but because it led me to some very important people. It also introduced me to my future husband. Back then the CHCW held a lot of promise. New talent sought out a position in hopes of raising their career to new levels. People dreamed of facing off in this ring against Crush, Dirty Dustin Downey, Prophet, or myself. We held the greats.

Jackhammer: Indeed we did!

Cecil: I'm glad it's back, we can see those same guys kick each others asses like they used to.

Hellen: Somewhere along the road Ervin decided that it wasn’t enough. The millions he gained at the expense of his wrestlers wasn’t enough. He began trimming the edges, cutting corners, making slick business deals that hurt the company, the talent, everyone except him. His tactics slowly spread into the main events. He paid wrestlers to cheat, or to take out his adversaries. Slowly but surely, Ervin tarnished the CHCW name.

Cecil: It's his baby, he can do as he damn well pleases!

Hellen: I am here tonight to promise you change. With Mike and I at the wheel, this federation will take back the honor and pride it was robbed of by a greaseball businessman named Kyle Ervin!

(The crowd erupts into cheers once again. Hellen cheers along with them)

Jackhammer: It looks like Hellen means business!

Cecil: We’ll see.

Hellen: Now, the real reason I came out here. It seems tonight is full of surprises. I have some wonderful news to share with you, and for that, I’m going to need my husband to come out here and join me. Mike?

(Hellen looks expectantly at the entrance. For several seconds there is silence, and the crowd falls quiet, eyeing the ramp. Suddenly, “Money” kicks out over the speakers. Kyle Ervin strolls out onto the ramp, grinning. The crowd begins to boo him loudly. Laughing, Kyle continues to walk towards the ring. He steps in, eyeing Hellen, who looks wary at his entrance. He gestures to her, and she hands him the mic.)

Ervin: It’s good to see you too Hellen. I must say I wasn’t expecting you to show your face around here anytime soon. Word is, Mike’s trying to keep you out of the action. Your husband is mighty determined to mess things up for me. I was really hoping he’d get the message. I’ve spoken with him, made offers, made peace offerings, anything I could do to change his mind. Unfortunately, he’s too stubborn to back down. I really wish he would have let it go Hellen. You’re a nice girl, and I hate to have you serve as the messenger, but I have no choice. Mike won’t listen to anybody else.

Jackhammer: Messenger? What is this?

Cecil: oh boy.. Ervin: Mike, I hope you read this message loud and clear. This is my federation, and I won’t have you muddling around in my affairs. I’ve offered you ample time to change your mind. Consider this a warning. Stay out of my business.

(Kyle Ervin suddenly turns around and slaps Hellen across the face with the microphone with an audible smack. She staggers to the side and Ervin raises a boot, kicking her hard square in the stomach. Hellen falls flat on her back and roll into a ball, coughing. Ervin kicks her in the stomach one more time. He drops the microphone and rolls out of the ring and off into the crowd. Mike Collins comes running down the ramp, diving into the ring to get to his wife. She is laying on her side, blood dribbling out of the corner of her mouth. Mike starts screaming for the medic.)

Jackhammer: It looks like this is serious… We’re going to take a short break, and when we get back, the start of the world title bracket!

"Wonderboy" by Tenacious D begins blaring as the fans start cheering for their favorite super hero. Several kids in the crowd are wearing Wonderboy Mask and holding up signs

Cecil: Jesus, people actually like this fruit fly?

Jackhammer: People have come from near and far to see him Cecil.

Wonderboy climbs in the ring as "T.N.T" begins blaring with Doomsday stepping out flipping the crowd off

Cecil: Hey! I like this guy!

Doomsday climbs into the ring as the bell dings. Wonderboy starts off by hitting a few punches to Doomsday who doesn't seem to feel them, and retailiates with a throat thrust that sends Wonderboy backinto the ropes. Wonderboy bounces back forward from the ropes to get a nasty clothesline from Doomsday. Doomsday begins taking advantage of the downed Wonderboy by laying some strong stomps into his stomach. He grabs Wonderboy by the hair and pulls him to his feet, after a quick knee to the stomach and still holding him by the hair, Doomsday guides Wonderboy's head into the turnbuckle with authority.

Jackhammer: Terry Gold better look alive if he wants to come out the victor here!

Cecil: Yeah it's not looking too hot for him right now.

Doomsday tries to do the same to wonderboy again, to a turnbuckle further away but Wonderboy blocks it by putting his foot on the turnbuckle, he chops Doomsdays hand away and begins hitting him with a flurry of punches and finishing it with a drop kick, as Doomsday scatters to get to his knees Wonderboy bounces off the ropes and delivers a devastating shinning wizard knocking Doomsday back down. Doomsday scrambles to his feet and tries for a running clothesline on Wonderboy, who ducks behind Doomsday and school boys him tightly, 1...2....3! Wonderboy wins! Doomsday immediately stands up and begins shouting irately. He delivers a big boot to the face of the ref.

Jackhammer: Now that's uncalled for!

Cecil: Nope, that's CHCW.. and that just proved that we're back.

The scene comes back from a commerical to show Apocalypse and Ronnie Styles already in the ring, with Ronnie's theme song fading out. Apocalypse and Ronnie tie up, and Apocalypse shoves Ronnie to the ground hard. Ronnie bounces back for another tie up, but the same happens again. Resilent, Ronnie comes back flying at Apocalypse who just lifts a boot up and catches Ronnie in the mouth. Ronnie hits the ground hard with a thud. Apocalypse raises his elbow for a elbow drop, but Ronnie rolls out of the way. Apocalypse stands up clenching his elbow as Ronnie goes behind him and locks on a sleeper hold

Cecil: Great strategy there, with a big guy like Apocalypse you have to wear him down, just as Mr Styles is doing.

Apocalypse swings his arms a few times trying to fight Ronnie off, he eventually shoves him sideways into the ropes, Ronnie bounces back and slaps the sleeper hold right back on Apocalypse again. Apocalypse drops to one knee before being able to elbow Ronnie twice in the stomach making him let go of the hold. Ronnie holds his stomach as Apocalypse slams his arm across Ronnie's back with a vicious back chop. Ronnie lets out a yelp and falls to his knees wincing in pain. Apocalypse picks him up and delivers a large gorilla press causing Ronnie to belly flop the mat. Ronnie leans up holding his chest in pain. He stands to his feet as Apocalypse runs at him and tries to go for a big boot but Ronnie steps to the left of him evading him and shoving him into the turnbuckle, where Ronnie gives him a series of turnbuckle shoulder charges before moutning him and giving him six hard fist to the temple. Apocalypse stops the assault from going any further by backing out of the turnbuckle and giving Ronnie a spine buster and hooking the leg. 1....2... Kick out by Ronnie Styles.

Both men move to their feet and commence by punching each other back and forth, Apocalypse goes for a clothesline but Ronnie catches his arm and wraps around him rolling him into a close knit Crusifix pin..1...2....3! Ronnie Styles wins, and advances in the tournament.

|--|“|-!-| # - NOW OR NEVER BY DOPE - # the arena lights go out as gold lights flash allover the arena as Darkflare Omni makes his way out from behind the curtain as the fans cheer, walking to the ring and entering.. ;

Dirty Dustin Downey's music hits and out from behind the curtain walks Triple D, grinning as he taunts to the fans. He slowly makes his way to the ring and enters. ;

Jackhammer:This should be a very interesting first round matchup.

The Bell Rings and both men lock up,Omni taking control, twisting behind DDD and dropping him with a Russian Legsweep. DDD's head hits the canvas hard and Omni is back up, bolting to the ropes, jumping a rolling DDD... DDD is up, Omni jumps over him as he ducks.. Omni drops, sliding to the outside.. DDD turns around and is quickly grabbed, having his legs took out from underneath him and being pulled to the outside.

Cecil:This doesn't look good for Downey. Comeon Triple D!

Omni has DDD on the outside and is in control, stomping the hell outta him.. Omni takes the rope and begins choking him. The referee is half way through his count as Omni rolls DDD into the ring and follows.. making a vital mistake and receiving a big forearm to the back of the head.. both men are down, DDD hurt.. Omni holding his head. Both men slowly make their way to there feet, slugging it out with right and left hands DDD takes control with a sneaky knee, finishing the move with a massive Suplex, planting Darkflare Omni deep into the depths of the canvas.

Jackhammer:Downey has taken control of this match!

Cecil:It's not like this joker doesn't deserve it.

Omni takes control right then, planting DDD with a RIGHT, a left, a right..

Jackhammer: MY GOD! DARKFLARE OMNI WITH THE UPSET VICTORY OVER DIRTY DUSTIN DOWNEY! GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY!

Cecil:Shut the hell up Hammer..It's just the first round fatass...It ain't like he just won the damn CHCW World Title.....Retard.

Jackhammer: ladies and gentlemen I'm getting word that the events that transpired earlier tonight, have left a tragic impact. Hellen Collins who was out here earlier, came out to announce her pregnancy to her husband and the world, and with what happened.. She has lost the baby, I'm hearing that we have camera feed inside the hospital now, so let's take you there.

(Mike stares at the doctor, his eyes wide in disbelief)

MIKE:“….baby?”

DR. FINCH: “Mrs. Collins was about 14 weeks along. She endured blunt trauma to her abdomen. We did everything we could but were unable to save the baby. She just got out of surgery to remove the fetus. We’re sorry sir, but there was nothing more we could do.”

MIKE:“How is she doing?”

DR. FINCH: “Her condition seems to be improving rapidly. We expect a full recovery, although she may experience some discomfort for the next few weeks. She’ll need to limit her physical activity for the next month or so. When she is able to go home she’ll need to take it easy until she is fully healed. She is awake right now if you’d like to go in. Best of luck Mr. Collins.”

(Mike nods at the doctor, his attention already focused on the doorway behind her. He steps into the room, inhaling sharply at the sight before him Hellen is laying on a small, sterile hospital bed, staring out the window. She turns at the sudden noise, a weak smile crossing her face at the sight of her husband. She is hooked up to an IV, two different bags of fluid draining into her body. The painkiller has left her groggy, making her attempts to sit up all the more difficult. She gives up, instead settling back into the bed. Mike sits in the chair next to her bed, staring at the monitor and wringing his hands. Hellen’s smile falters at his strange demeanor. The silence fills the room, disturbed only by the occasional beep of the vitals monitor.)

HELLEN (Her voice heavy)“Michael..”

(Mike refuses to meet his wife’s gaze, his eyes firmly fixed on the floor. Hellen reaches out to him. As her fingers graze his wrist Mike stands, walking to the window.)

MIKE“When were you going to tell me?”

HELLEN:“Mike,listen. I was go-“

MIKE: “I don’t get it Hellen. Three years of marriage, and you keep this from me? How could you do that. A baby…”

HELLEN: “No, Mike, Please! I was going to tell you last night. That’s why I showed up. You’ve had so much going on lately: I just wanted to wait for the right time to surprise you. With the reopening of CHCW I thought it would be the perfect time to let you know. I was so proud! I wanted to share it with everyone! I didn’t think it would cause any problems.”

MIKE: “Honey, you knew Kyle was going to be there. You knew it was dangerous. I wouldn’t have asked you to stay away from the opening without reason. I was trying to protect you. Kyle is furious that I have a hand in the business and he will do anything to run me out. Anything important to me is a target. CHCW isn’t the same anymore babe. He’s… he’s lost it. He’s dangerous. You can’t go anywhere near that place anymore.”

HELLEN:“I’m sorry Mike. I never dreamed…. I mean I didn’t….”

MIKE:“I could have stopped it.”

HELLEN:“What?”

MIKE:“If I had known Hellen, if you had told me, I could have protected you. I could have stopped him, you would have been at my side.”

HELLEN:“There’s nothing you could have done. Ervin is sick. He would have done whatever he planned to do in one way or another. If he had known it just would have been something else.”

DR. FINCH:“Excuse me, Mr. Collins? I’m going to have to ask you to step out for a moment. I need to examine Mrs. Collins for any complications.”

MIKE:“She’s my wife, I'm sure she won't mind if I stay.”

DR. FINCH:“I’m sorry sir, it’s hospital policy. It should only take a few minutes. You can wait right outside.”

(Mike glances at his wife, who nods to him. Slowly, reluctantly, he turns and exits the room. The nurse quietly shuts the door behind him. Mike leans against the wall, his eyes closed. The events of the past night weighed heavily upon his shoulders. He should have known better than to leave her alone. Hellen was not one to sit at home and stay out of the action. She was a fighter. She had been fighting alongside him for years, taking on the same opponents, fighting the same battles. She wasn’t meant to stay at home.

The sound of footsteps approaching down the hall shakes Mike out of his thoughts. He opens his eyes to see Kyle Ervin, CHCW Co-owner, slinking down the hallway. Kyle is wearing a neatly pressed business suit and carries a small bouquet of flowers in his hand. He makes eye contact with Mike and smirks. Mike’s face contorts into pure rage at the very sight of him, and he pushes off of the wall.

With a great bellow Mike throws himself at Ervin. The co-owner is caught offguard by the tackle and is thrown off his feet. Mike begins throwing punches wildly at Ervin’s face with no regard for where they land. A nearby doctor screams for security. Four orderlies come rushing down the hallway. Two grab Mike and, with considerable effort, manage to pull him off of Kyle. Mike’s face is a brilliant red, his hands shaking with fury.)

MIKE:“You bastard. You son of a bitch. She was pregnant. SHE WAS FUCKING PREGNANT!”

(Ervin’s eyes widen as he processes this statement. He was aiming to hurt Mike, although this is not what he dreamed of. Nonetheless, Ervin shrugs, showing very little concern for this bit of news.)

MIKE:“You will pay. I don’t care what it takes, or what I have to do. You can try to run. You can try to hide behind your minions. I will find you, and I will tear you apart.”

ERVIN:“Mikey, Mikey buddy…. don’t you get it? I told you to back off. I warned you to leave, to stay out of the CHCW. You just had to come back, had to put your nose where it didn’t belong. You refuse to listen to me Mike. I’ve tried. The only way to make you listen is to hurt those that you love. I didn’t intend for this to happen ,and I wish it didn’t have to end this way. I just hope you’ve learned from your mistakes”

(Mike strains against the orderlies, throwing himself at Kyle Ervin. The other two orderlies eyeing the situation grab at him, and with difficulty they manage to restrain him. He screams at Ervin, though his words are incoherent. Tears are streaming down his face as he desperately fights to get at the man who had single-handedly taken so much away from him)

ERVIN:“You dug your child’s grave Mike. I’m warning you. Leave. Back off now. Sign over your share in the company, before you hurt anyone else. I WILL do whatever it takes to take you out of this federation, no matter what the cost”

(At that comment Ervin turns on his heel and walks slowly, calmly down the hall. He walks tall, proud, and does not look back at the man fighting to rip him apart. Mike collapses to the floor, pounding his fists on it in rage as the shot goes back to Jackhammer and Cecil)

Cecil:... Jesus.

Jackhammer:... You said it... I don't know what to say here..

// # TALES FROM THE CRYPT # Dr.Kill's music hits, out walking Dr.Kill to a chorus of boos.. he walks down the rampway, entering the ring. Dr.Kill awaits his opponet. ;

'Enter Sandman' hits all over the pa system in the arena as the fans in the packed house arena tonight jump off there feet to catch a glimpse of The Sandman Scott Flanigan. They get there cameras ready as BOOM! The Pyros go off and suddenly Scott Flanigan walks out and stands there doing his pose as the thousands of people boo for him in the arena. The cameras flash and flash as Flanigan walks out smirking. He looks out into the crowd and then walks down the narrow rampway to the ring. ;

Flanigan sprints down to the ring and slides straight into the ring as Kill starts to club Flanigan's back but The Sandman is getting to his feet and throws some punches of his own, Flanigan with the speed advantage slowly wins the battle and throws Kill into the ropes and jumps at him with a flying forearm as Flanigan taunts the crowd. Jackhammer:Scott Flanigan with the advantage here!

Dr.Kill quickly tries to lock in the sleeper hold but Flanigan elbows his way out of it and goes for a massive clothesline only for Dr.Kill to duck and hit a T-Bone suplex,

Cecil: I don't believe i've seen Dr.Kill do a T Bone suplex in.........Well....Ever..

Dr.Kill looks like he is starting to fire up as he lifts Flanigan off the ground and gives him a modified belly to back suplex. He picks up Flanigan and throws him into the ropes but Flanigan comes back with a step up kick to the back of the head. Dr.Kill lands flat on his back and Flanigan sees this and bounces off the rope and goes for a knee drop but Dr.Kill moved and Flanigan lands hard...Just the opening Kill needed..Dr.Kill climbs up top as Scott Flanigan struggles to his feet...Kill jumps off and hits the IM MEAN right to Flanigan's head! He hooks the leg.1.......................2..............................3!It's over! Dr.Kill wins it!. The crowd boos as Kill gets his hand raised in victory. \\ ]]

|-!-|| - |:. # FOREVER# Maniac makes his way down to the ring, with Martin Woodal. He walks round to ringside, climbs the steps, walk across the ring apron and points to the crowd. Maniac stands on the turnbuckle and poses to the crowd. ;

# INFULTRATE THE SYSTEM # Andy Magnum's music hits and he makes his way to the ring! Magnum slides into the ring and holds his arms aloft. Maniac leans on the turnbuckle grinning smugly. ;

Mag walks towards him and offers a couple of words, before SLAPPING Maniac. Maniac's grin disappears and he walks towards Magnum offering a few words of his own. The 2 men go eyeball-to-eyeball. Maniac starts things with a knee to the gut, followed by a series of right hands. Maniac whips Magnum into the ropes and hits a vicious clothesline. Magnum gets up and walks straight into an armdrag.

Cecil:I don't think slappin a Huttman was such a good idea.

Magnum turns again, kick to the gut. Maniac wants the damn Chokeslam but Magnum counters into a backdrop. Maniac gets to his feet and walks into clothesline by Magnum. Magnum rattles off the right hands, whips Maniac into the ropes, Maniac ducks underneath and neckbreaker. Maniac is first to his feet, he lays a couple of rights, before a whip into the turnbuckle. Maniac charges in but Magnum gets an elbow to the face and a closeline. Magnum whips Maniac into the ropes but Maniac comes back with a closeline. It's been dead even so far but Magnum begins to mount some offense… A stiff upper cut, followed by a vicious right to the temple, Maniac is down. Magnum whips Maniac into the ropes and spinebuster. 1… 2… Near fall. Magnum hits a suplex. 1… 2… A second close call for Maniac. Magnum whips Maniac into the turnbuckle, he lays off some hard stomps and then, chokes Maniac out with his foot. Magnum pulls Maniac up the turnbuckle looking for a superplex but Maniac fights back and pushes Magnum off the top. Magnum gets to his feet and Maniac hits a axehandle.

Jackhammer: Andy Magnum looking to defeat Maniac here!

Both men struggle up, Maniac takes control when they get back up. A couple of monkey tosses, a neckbreaker, a suplex…Maniac is rolling. Maniac looks for another suplex but Magnum switches and DDT! They're both down, they get up at the same time, Magnum swings but Maniac blocks and DDT! Maniac comes off the ropes and hits a knee drop. Maniac goes for a Razors Edge type move but Magnum backdrops him..… Wait! … Magnum slides down the front, pulls his head back, MY GOD… IT'S A REVERSE DDT! The match has just switched in the blink of an eye. 1….. 2…... 3! Wait! Martin Woodal just pulled the referee out..Magnum exchanges words with Woodal as DIRTY DUSTIN DOWNEY slides in with that chair.

Jackhammer:WHAT THE HELL'S DOWNEY DOIN HERE?!

Magnum turns around as Downey cracks that Steel chair over Magnum's head! Magnum falls like a ton of bricks as DDD pulls Maniac's arm over Magnum's chest. The referee counts.1................................2.............................3!

Jackhammer:DAMMIT! DDD JUST SCREWED MAGNUM!

Cecil:This looks to be a scary alliance Hammer.

Maniac gets up as Downey raises his arm alongside Martin Woodal...We get a shot of Alicia Huttman up on the ramp with her arms crossed in disappointment as Maniac and DDD celebrate. The scene fades.
