Under Under South Central Beatdown Rules

The Assassins vs The Night Cripplers

Combined Weight 495lbs | Combined Weight 580lbs

Columbus, Ohio | Chicago, IL

"Down" - Stone Temple Pilots | "The Beautiful People" - Marilyn Manson


As the introductions are being announced The Assassins come out with an obvious cocky attitude and smiles on their faces, but that soon changes when The Night Cripples are announced for the quickly rush the ring and tear into The Assassins.

BS: My God! The Night Cripplers are out for blood tonight!

GM: After the way The Assassins embarassed them last time I would think so too.

As The Night Cripplers continue the assault Hunter goes to the outside and reaches under the ring for a cookie sheet and rolls back into the ring and attacks Osiris from behind with it. Then, to continue the assault, Hunter drops the cookie sheet and then whips Osiris into the ropes and on the way back Hunter shoots a boot to Osiris's midsection then goes for and executes a jack knife power bomb right on the cookie sheet.

GM: OH MAN! Peanut butter or Chocolate Chip?

BS: What are you talkin....oh wait the cookie sheet. I can see a cheap joke coming right here.

GM: Speaking of cheap who was that girl you were with last....

BS: What were you doing spying on me?

GM: Oh you're getting better at this aren't you?

On the other side of the ring Titan continues his beating on Orion without signs up letting up. As he continues Titan brings Orion out of the corner and shoots a short arm clothesline leveling the Akron, Ohio native. Then, as Orion is getting back up, Titan sets up and connect with a superkick that takes Orion over the rope and to the outside. Not soon after Titan catches a glimpse of Osiris trying to get back up and as he does Titan climbs to the top turn buckle and leaps off it catching Osiris with a dropkick that takes him out of the ring as well.

BS: The Night Cripplers have cleared the ring!

GM: They're not taking any slack from anyone cause they're out here with a purpose!

Now with both Assassins down on the outside Titan goes for one more trick and heads to the top rope again and leaps off with a cross body splash, but Osiris and Orion are on it and move out of the way so that Titan connects with nothing but the ground below.

BS: Oh man that's gonna leave a sting.

GM: Sting? Where?

BS: Would you stop. Like we would put HIM under a EWI contract. He can't even take a kick.

GM: Oh you right!

As Orion continues his attack on Titan, Osiris rolls in the ring and gets ready to square off with Hunter. As they lock up it's Osiris that gets in a face rack and backs up Hunter with a series of chops to the ropes. He then whips Hunter to the opposite side of the ropes and tries to hit with a spinning heel kick, but Hunter manages to block the kick and counters with a lariat that levels Osiris in the center of the ring. Hunter then picks up Osiris and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Osiris reverses it and sends Hunter instead. At the same time, with Titan laid out on the ground from Orion continued assault, Orion grabs a chair and cracks Hunter on the back of the head once he hits the ropes. As Hunter comes staggering out he is caught with an Osiris DDT that brings the big man down.

GM: Oh man say it ain't so!

BS: The Assassins are back on the advantage.

Upon seeing this action, Sampson starts to head over and get involved, but is quickly caught by the ref who immediately sends him to the back.

GM: WHAT? He's sending Sampson to the back? WHY?!!?

BS: He must wanna make sure that this finishes out without distraction.

GM: Oh man that's Bullsh....

BS: Don't do it. We have SSN to deal with now.

GM: DAMN!

As the ref is distracted Orion reaches under the ring and tosses a mop stick to Osiris who automatically goes into Hunter with it repeatedly. As he is doing this Orion rolls in Titan and also brings in a baseball bat and lays into Titan as well. As they continue the massacre both The Assassins take The now busted open Night Cripplers and tie them up into the ropes. After they do this Osiris reaches for a microphone.

Osiris: Well you bastards ... you want to know who it is that wants to take you out of the EWI?!?!

Orion: May I present to you, our new, and PERMANENT employer...

(Orion points to the entrance way where a spotlight is stationed)

Orion: Mr. MARCUS GOTTFRIED!!!

GM & BS: WHO???

Gottfried steps out from the curtain to a huge boo by the fans. He gives an evil smile and walks to the back as The Assassins go to finish off the Cripplers, but where caught off-guard with a double spear from the bleeding duo.

GM: CAN YOU BELEIVE IT! They joined up with Gottfried! Who would've thunk it!

BS: Well the only thing they're thinking now is how to get off the canvas after getting hit with a double spear from The Night Cripplers.

Furious, both the Cripplers grab the mop handle and the ballbat and return the favor to The Assassins repeating the constant beating they received earlier. Trying to single out Osiris, The Night Cripplers knock Orion out of the ring with Titan heading out right after him. As Orion is trying to get back up, Titan reaches in his boot and pulls out a pair of hand cuffs and quickly cuffs Orion to the rope leaving him singled out.

BS: And now Osiris is all alone!

GM: After hearing that Gottfried news that sparked a fire in the Cripplers. Can't say that I blame'em.

Titan then comes back inside and helps Hunter attack Osiris after Hunter hit another jack knife power bomb. Hunter then hooks up Osiris in his finisher the Hunter Clutch (reverse STF) while Titan continues to kick away at him. As the ref is waiting for the call he finally sees what he's looking for and that's the tap out making it an instant win.

Winner: The Night Cripplers


BS: They've done it! The Night Cripplers have evened the score with The Assassins, but is this war really over with the two?

GM: Knowing these teams....no.

BS: Folks as they clear up the debris from the ring....

GM: And free Orion...

BS: I have some recent videotape footage I did with Hellfighter a while back.

GM: Oh great goody two shoes is back in the EWI. Preach brother preach. Whatever.

BS: Let's go that video tape.


[Camera fades to footage Brett Sanders sitting with former intercontinential "HellFighter" Michael Patrick Shultze for an in depth interview at his home in Kansas City, Missouri. The camera shows HellFighter and Sanders sitting down in the living room across from each other in two separate recliner chairs.]

Sanders: "Michael, thank you so much for having me here today in your home, to talk to with you."

HF: "Thank you and its my pleasure."

Sanders: "I think the main question that is on mine and everyone's mind is where have you been, where has HellFighter been all this time, and when will he be back?"

HF: "I have been gone for a long time, I have needed to sort some things out in my life, and get them all straitened out before I returned to in ring action. Before I left I noticed that I was not being myself, and I was going at it way to fast with everything. I was taking things way too personal and that's not me, and I had to remind myself constantly that this is only a business, and for a little bit I was losing sight of all that. That's why I needed to be away from the ring on this vacastion to sort things out and make certain that my priorties and my relationship with God was all in check. I kept on hearing His gentle nudges telling me that something wasn't right, and I had to make right. That's what I am gald for about my two match losses with Jefferey Roberts that I actually am grateful about, it made me realize some of the many things that I was doing wrong, and what I needed to correct."

Sanders: "Now is there resentment or anomosity between you and Roberts, considering the fact that he twice beat you when the intercontinential championship was on the line?"

HF: "Well at first there may of, but it went away real quick, and actually I am greatful for Roberts for beating me. You win matches and you lose them, and these matches taught me a valuable lesson about myself. That match wasn't the end of me, and I will be back for more matches and God willing more championships as well."

Sanders: "Now did I just hear you right, you will be back?"

HF: "That you did, I will be back...really soon."

Sanders: "Now will you be back going for the intercontinental, or are you stopping right there, are you going to exceed for any belt higher than the intercontinential, say like the Heavyweight championship?"

HF: "You know Brett, I will go for any belt that is in my way. If it so happens to be the intercontinential, then so be it, but I would like to try for bigger and better prizes such as the heavyweight. It don't matter to me."

Sanders: "Now about the Nu Nation Revolution, is it dead, is it coming back, and will you be on the front lines leading the charge?"

HF: "Oh you know it will be, let's just say that it must be the season, and this is the season of jubilee and then some. It never really died, the vision still remains inside me and all the Revolutionites...sorry had to call it something...for everybody everywhere all over the world."

Sanders: "Now what about Goth & AC and Miss Tania Beatty, will they be backfighting along side you?"

HF: "Tania will be back with me, and yes she still want to try to try out and see if she still has what it take in the squared circle and wrestle. She believe that she can compete, or at least prove it to herself, and see if she has what it take. As for Goth & AC. I receently talked to them, and they are doing fine, they want to come back eventually, but they are not rushing it. I told them that the Nu nation will still be here waiting for them when they return, and just trust in God's timing and not ours."

Sanders: "HellFighter, we're running out of time here, but I need to relay this quick message to you direct from the offices of Eric Zieba and Chad Dupree and the team. They really want you to come back to EWI, and they have made out a contract right here for you to compete at the next PPV: Bad Blood, where this contract state that you will compete against none other than "Superstar" Brad Stryker for the Intercontinential Championship. So here is a pen, and if I can get you to sign on the dotted line in front of me, and with the camera rolling with everybody watching around the world, we can make this offical."

HF: (As he is completely excited, he reaches for the pin and signs contract to fight Brad Stryker at Bad Blood for the Intercontinential title.) "I can not fathom why you guys are doing this, but Thank you Jesus for this, thank you Zieba, thank you Dupree, thank you Sanders, thank you everybody, I am back in the fight. I praise God for this, thank you!"

Sanders: "And who knows Michael, if all this goes well, that heavyweight title may not be to far behind."

HF: "I hope and pray that you are right, I'm going to bad blood baby."

[HellFighter is still excited as he is running through the house and all through the yard. Sanders, smiling real big looks into the camera.]

Sanders: "Well we can see that HellFighter is back and it definately looks like we can see him return back to is championship form as he battles Brad Stryker for the Intercontinential title, its a match that nobody wants to miss, I know that I won't want to miss it, and neither should you. That's all for now, this is Brett Sanders in Kansas City, Missouri signing off for now. See you all for bad blood. Now if you excuse me, I think I need to try to detain HellFIghter before he gets arrested or something."

[As Sanders goes to chase after HellFighter, the camera fades out to black back in Arrowhead Pond where Sanders and McFarland are at.]


BS: That was last week folks and I can assure you that Hellfighter has not lost his edge because he is ready.

GM: Hey Striker isn't a slacker in the ring. After all he beat the man that beat Roberts so that's saying something.

BS: That is true my friend. Let's go to the ring for this Intercontinental match!


For the EWI Intercontinental Title

'Superstar' Brad Striker vs. Hellfighter

6'0", 227lbs | 6'11", 290lbs

Hollywood, CA | Kansas City, Missouri

"Mindfields" - The Prodigy | "Revolution" - Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation Project


Brad Striker walks out to the ring first. The crowd boos and jeers him, but Striker only response is a cocky smile and a hearty, "God, I'm great!" on the house microphone. Hellfighter walks out next. The crowd delivers a huge face pop for the Nu Nation Revolution represenative. He enters the ring and turns to look back at the capacity crowd. Suddenly, Striker runs up behind and nails him with a drop kick to the back of head. Hellfighter falls out of the ring and the cheers instantly turns to boos.

BS: Wow. The people just do not like Brad Striker

GM: I seriously doubt he cares. He's got the Intercontinental belt to keep him company.

Striker leaves the ring and stalks over toward Hellfighter, who is slowly getting to his feet. He delivers an open-handed chop to Hellfighter's chest, sending him staggering around the ring, but he still manages to roll back into it. Striker climbs back in as well, but gets caught by a double-leg takedown from the waiting Hellfighter. He floats over and procures a modified armbar. The referee asks Striker if he wants to submit, but Striker yells out, "Hell no!" and fights his way to the ropes, forcing the break.

GM: Hahaha... Hell no!

BS: You're easily amused aren't you, Garrett?

Striker gets to his feet and starts yelling at the referee. The referee tells him to wrestle and be quiet, and Striker does so only after scaring the referee with a menacing glare. The two combatants tie up and the heavier Hellfighter gains the advantage with a side headlock. He executesa go-behind and locks on a hammerlock. Striker swings a reverse elbow, but Hellfighter ducks under it and uses Striker's own momentum to take him down with a flying arm scissors. Again the referee asks Striker if he wants to submit, but he refuses.

BS: Hellfighter has a noticeable size advantage, but instead of powering his way through the match, he's wrestling.

GM: Well hooray for him. To quote Rob Sampson, give him a cookie and a pat on the back.

Striker's shoulder goes down and the referee counts: one, two, Striker raises his shoulder. Hellfighter releases the hold and calls for Striker to stand up. Striker does so and Hellfighter unleashes a clothesline that only staggers his opponent. He attempts a second clothesline, but Striker side-steps it and Hellfighter stumbles to the mat. Striker runs to the ropes and connects with an Asai moonsault on the rebound. The referee counts: one, two...Hellfighter kicks out.

GM: That moonsault was right on target. Hellfighter's goin' down baby!

BS: Don't count him out yet, Gary Mac.

Striker throws Hellfighter into a corner, measures him, and then starts delivering a series of kicks in the corner. The referee's count reaches 5, and Striker steps away. Hellfighter staggers out of the corner and into Striker's waiting arms. He runs to the ropes and catches the still-stunned Hellfighter with a springboard clothesline. The crowd boos as Striker goes for the pin. The referee counts: one, two...Hellfighter gets the shoulder up.

BS: Man was that ever close!

GM: The ref gave a slow count, I swear.

Striker again starts arguing with the referee, but quickly drops it so that he may turn his attention back to the match. He hooks on a front facelock and then picks Hellfighter up for what appears to be a vertical suplex. Hellfighter shifts his weight however and Striker falls back with Hellfighter landing on top of him. The referee counts: one...Striker throws Hellfighter off. Striker gets up, runs to the ropes, and tries for a springboard clothesline, but Hellfighter ducks under his opponent's arm, spins him around, and takes him up and over with a belly-to-belly suplex. Hellfighter heads up top quickly, and as Striker gets to his feet the challenger leaps with a flying clothesline, but Striker counters with a dropkick. Hellfighter quickly gets to his feet again and ends up behind Striker. Striker turns, but is caught with a kick to the midsection. The challenger quickly follows up with a his T-Bar Drop and goes for the cover.

GM: No! This can't be happening! Not Hellfighter!

The referee counts: one, two, thr...Striker gets the shoulder up!

BS: He got the shoulder up!

GM: YES!

Hellfighter wastes no time in pulling Striker back up and executing a Death Valley Driver. He goes for the cover and the referee counts: one, two...foot on the ropes. Hellfighter quickly becomes frustrated and signals to the crowd that it's time for the Crossface Hell Slam. The crowd comes to their feet as Hellfighter locks on the front facelock, but Striker drops to his knees and grabs Hellfighter's tights, using them to fling him into the nearby turnbuckles face-first. Striker delivers a kick to the midsection and then drops the challenger with his Superstar Slam. Striker drags Hellfighter to the center of the ring and quickly applies his Final Insult elevated crab hold. Hellfighter struggles for several seconds, but Striker barely budges. The inevitable tapout comes when Striker leans back on the hold for more leverage.

Winner: 'Superstar' Brad Striker (Retains EWI Intercontinental Title)


BS: Brad Striker with what could very well be considered an upset!

GM: Upset? What upset!? He's the champ!

BS: Yes, well, Hellfighter was a heavy favorite, pardon the pun.

GM: Screw that. Striker's the man walking out of the ring with the Intercontinental title.

BS: This is true, but you have to think now that Hellfighter is back he will be in the thick of things once again.

GM: But Striker is still the man don't forget that.

BS: How can I when I have you to remind me?

GM: True ... true.

BS: Folks coming up next, as they lower the Cell, we have a Three way dance with Tribal Instinct, The Dark Carnival, and Gemini and Cancer.

GM: Well look at it this way. You have three former world champions in there with two being from the EWI. You have a veteran tag team in there with TI, but you also have two well established tag teams there. The only factor I can see is Powers wounded leg.

BS: What about the fact that Gemini and Cancer cannot stand eachother.

GM: Well that too.

BS: Folks let's go to the ring for this next match!


Under Hell in a Cell Rules

Gemini/Cancer vs Tribal Instinct vs The Dark Carnival

Combined Weight 525lbs | Combined Weight 604lbs | Combined Weight 624lbs

Purgatory | Los Angeles, CA | Chicago, IL

"Heart Shaped Box" - Nirvana | "Tribe" - P.O.D. | "Wherever I May Roam" - Metallica and The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra


As the announcer is going through with the introductions it's Cancer and Jade, with a black medical back, that first come to the ring. Following them is the one they call Gemini who, even though he is Cancer's partner, he does not walk with. As soon as they enter the cage TRIBE - P.O.D. cues up and Tribal Instinct, decked out in their war paint, head to the ring along with their manager Utopia. Then, as they enter the ring, the lights suddenly go out as 'Wherever I May Roam' - Metallica and The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra cues up. In the beginning, with the violins and guitar, the lights black out with a blue haze starting to form slowly. Then when the band picks up with the drum pyro effects go off on the stage area with the first climax being three blue lighting bolts coming out of the sky and striking a center point on the stage. As the song hits another chorus Apocalypse and 'Good God' Kevin Powers come rising out from the stage. Apocalypse is dressed in a black body suit cut at the sleeves and wearing black leather boots that comes up past his knees and out with blue lighting streaks while Powers is decked out in jeans and a blue tank top with the Nike symbol on it. As they finally rise out of the floor they step to the side to show that 'Risqué' Roseanne Fairhurst and Miso are standing behind them. Then as the second tapping of the drum goes again so does they pyro effects then at the second and final climax. Five, in a row, bomblike effects go off and The Dark Carnival makes his way to the ring still under the blue haze of the crowd.

BS: MY GOD! THIS IS THE DARK CARNIVAL!

GM: Cheap pyro effects and special lights. Big deal.

As they enter the ring they are instantly attacked by both teams as the bell sounds to start the match off. Gemini and Cancer quickly go after Apocalypse as Tribal Instinct does the same to Powers. With each team in a separate corner with a Dark Carnival representative they begin to throw a flurry of fist until they felt they worked them over. Then, as they looked towards the other corner, both Tribal Instinct and Gemini and Cancer whipped out Apocalypse and Powers so that could smack into eachother in the center of the ring, but instead it was Apocalypse who leaped over Powers and connected with a flying double clothesline on The Tribe. At the same time, when Powers ducked, he raised back up and caught Cancer and Gemini with a running double clothesline of his own.

BS: The Dark Carnival is leveling the playing field Gary!

GM: Even though I don't like'em you just can't count out Powers and Apocalypse whoever you are!

BS: You think Ego Buster is gonna count out Apocalypse?

GM: Not unless he has a death wish.

Now with the advantage The Dark Carnival took Brandon Williams and Cancer and tossed them to the outside of the ring and then concentrated on the action inside of the ring. As the four combatants fought inside of the ring both Brandon Williams and Cancer struggled to get their feet on the outside, but once they did they squared off with eachother and began to trade a series of punches back and fourth with Cancer gaining the advantage. With Brandon in his grasp Cancer was about to shoot Brandon into the Cell, but Brandon reversed it and it was Cancer who tasted the steel instead.

GM: Oh tasty. Fresh steel for one please.

BS: Oh and he's gonna feel that for awhile.

GM: Better than him feeling himself.

BS: GARY!

GM: Oh did I say that out loud?

On the inside Gemini and Powers continue to do their abusive assault against eachother as Apocalypse and Trypp continue to slug it out on the side. As Apocalypse gained the advantage he attempted a suplex on the Tribal Warrior, but Trypp blocked it again and again until he was able to reverse it and catch Apocalypse with a hanging suplex that came crashing to the canvas. Then, as Apocalypse was slowly getting back up, Trypp jumped up and grabbed onto the top of the cage and caught Apocalypse's head with his legs and hit a huricanna on the blue hair terror.

GM: And down goes The Apocalypse. How many times have you been able to say that?

BS: He took a nasty bump going down.

GM: Serves him right with his gothic look and such.

On the other side, as Powers and Gemini continued to slug it out, Gemini caught a lucky break. As Powers went for another swing Gemini ducked the move and shot a quick rabbit punch into the hurt leg of Powers which still bothered him from his match with Commando. Seeing Powers in pain Gemini quickly goes for Powers hurt leg and wraps him up in a half crab knee grip causing the Chi-Town native to scream out in pain. As Gemini continues to fight the pain he does not notice that Roseanne Fairhurst has grabbed a chair and has slid into the ring. As she sneaks up behind Gemini she swings and cracks Gemini across the back of his skull and he instantly breaks the hold, but instead of going down he surprises her and gets right up in her face. Not backing down Fairhurst is about to swing the chair again, but Gemini grabs her across the throat and is about to chokeslam her, but Powers manages to get up and gives Gemini a nut check which does bring down the wrestler.

BS: I don't know if Powers can continue working with a bad wheel.

GM: Hell as long as he has Fairhurst then it's all good.

Back on the outside Cancer still continues his assault on Brandon with no signs on quitting. After a couple of shots to the backside of Brandon with a steel chair Cancer then calls for his valet Jade to come over. As he is holding Brandon, Jade is about to strike, but is suddenly turned around by Utopia and slapped in the face. Jade responds, the only way she knows how, but spitting green mist in her face blinding the former Paradise. This causes Cancer to forget about Brandon and charge towards Utopia, but as he is running towards her what he does not see is that Apocalypse has recently gained the upper advantage and has backdropped Trypp out of the ring and right onto Cancer.

BS: OH MAN what timing! And look at the mess on the outside.

GM: They need to move out of the way cause I wanna see some Jade and Utiopia involvement if ya know what I mean. GET IT KITTENS!!!!

BS: And, with Mike gone, I feel that he's still here.

GM: Shaddup ayou.

On the inside it is The Dark Carnival that has started to double beating on Gemini for a moment until they toss Gemini to the outside where the carnage of Cancer and Tribal Instinct lay. Before Apocalypse heads to the outside he has a conversation with Powers telling him to stay in the ring. As Apocalypse goes out he rolls in Trypp Williams and continues to mix it up with the rest that are outside. Once Trypp is in Powers tries to hit him with one of his finishers Kiss the Canvas, slingshot powerbomb, but as he gets Trypp up his leg goes out and Trypp falls on Powers and the ref begins to count, but only get s a two count out of it.

BS: And with the first count of the night Powers just kicks out, but that leg is coming into play.

GM: Oh I feel for him. Put his ass in a wheelchair for all I care!

On the outside the other four confute to mix it up until their main focus, once again, turns out to be Apocalypse. As they continue their assault Gemini and Brandon hold Apocalypse at bay as Cancer reaches under the ring and pulls out a broomstick, but as he is about to swing at Apocalypse he moves out of the way and the stick comes crashing down on Gemini instead. Dazed, Gemini tries to take a swing at Cancer, but misses and falls to the ground where Jade instantly begins to throw kicks into Gemini.

GM: What is Jade doing? She's attacking ... Gemini?

BS: Looks like that Gemini and Cancer issue is about to unfold before our very eyes Gary!

Meanwhile Brandon has managed to slip back into the ring just as Powers is about to for his other finisher Power Outage (X-Factor), but is caught from behind by Brandon and lifted into a double hook suplex. Brandon then picks up Powers and sends him to Trypp where he hooks him up on the top turnbuckle as Brandon goes to the opposite side so that they can hit their finisher Final Sacrifice. And, as Apocalypse is still fighting with Cancer trying to get back in, he is too late for the ref is down and set for the three count.

Winner: Tribal Instinct


GM: TRIBAL INSTINCT HAS DONE IT! They have beaten two very well rounded teams and have moved on!

BS: To be fair Powers is hurt and the team of Gemini and Cancer is breaking up as we speak.

GM: You see what you want and I see what I want.

BS: Speaking of which Gemini has just gotten back up and .... he's about to hit Jade!

GM: She just threw that bag she's got to Cancer and ... OH MAN! He just clocked Gemini from behind and he's out! And now ... wait ... what is he pulling out?

BS: It's....a syringe. Oh wait! It's that same one he had at the beginning of the show and....OH DEAR GOD!

GM: He's got Gemini's arm and.....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! He's putting that needle in his arm!

Cancer: I said I was going to infect the EWI and I'll start with you "partner". I am a part of you now that you can never get rid of. I own your body and soul.

BS: And look at those two! Cancer and Jade just walked away while the EMT's come running out trying to help Gemini! Nobody deserves this and you have to agree to this Gary.

GM: I've seen some sick stuff in my time, but this one takes the cake.

BS: Folks, as they try to help out Gemini, we have a Tag Team Championship match, pitting the champions, The Motor City Maniacs against challengers, Simply Stunning in what should be a great match up.

GM: Don't forget that this match is Anything Goes, which means, basically, you can do or use anything.

BS: Gee, did you figure that out on your own, Gary?

GM: Shut up.

BS: Let's go to the ring, folks.
