Tabu vs Justin Sane

6' 2', 240lbs. | 7' 4", 450lbs

Bombay, Indiana | St. Louis, MO

'Hate Me Now' - Nas & Puff Daddy |


To the roar of the crowd Tabu, and Sweet Melissa, make their way to the ring first, but soon after the cheers turn to boos as Justin Sane comes to the ring showing off complete confidence. As they enter the ring the bell rings and the match is on the way. As they lock up in the center of the ring it's Sane that gains the advantage and begins to shoot powerful forearms into Tabu taking him offguard. Dazed, Tabu is prone as Sane scoops him up and plants him with a bone crushing bodyslame. He then backs up and catches Tabu coming back up with a running lariat taking him back down the the canvas.

BS: Sane taking the early advantage in this one.

GM: The man that lost the EWI for Zieba is not fairing well in this match.

With Sane still in control he waits for Tabu to get back up and catches him in a choke slam move, but Tabu brushes the hand aside and hits a clothesline of his own and follows up with a elbow drop landing square in the chest. With Sane getting back up and backing into the corner, Tabu measures him off coming out of the corner with a jumping boot to the face putting the big man down.

BS: And now is getting the better of Sane.

GM: Back and forth this man is a crazed animal!

As the match continues Tabu manages to whip Sane into the cage and busting him open right above the right eyebrow starting the blood to flow, but as Tabu tries to get out of the cage Sane catches him from behind with a reverse DDT taking him back down. Sane then points to the ring corner and heads towards it. As he climbs to the top he leaps off with a top rope leg drop, but Tabu moves out of the way and Sane catches the canvas. With both men on the canvas the ref begins to administer the ten count, but once he hits eight they are right back to square one attacking eachother once again.

BS: Will this match stop?

GM: Go in there and ask'em

BS: I don't think so.

Towards the final moments of the match Tabu finds himself in the corner with Sane running towards him, but as Sane connects he only hits the turnbuckle cause Tabu has moved out of the way. With Sane down Tabu goes to the top and hits a moonsault in which his knee hits the head of Sane. Now limping he moves towards the door which swings open and he crawls out of the cage to victory.

Winner: Tabu


BS: Tabu has done it and he moves on!

GM: Tabu with a vicious moonsault which KO's Sane! The man is unreal!

BS: Well folks we're about to find out who Tabu is going to face with the announcement of the next two wrestlers. One of which is none other than Tony Parrish.

GM: This man has an impressive record going in. He could do it.

BS: And his opponent is ....


['Cowboy" by Kid Rock cues up and the crowd comes to its feet as "Furious" Jesse Falcon strolls down to the ring. He's wearing blue jeans and a straw cowboy hat, but his shirt is missing. The words "SSN Sucks" are still written on his upper torso. He rolls in the ring and lifts his hands to a rather loud applause, considering his antics of late. He grabs a microphone and addresses the crowd.]

FJF: What's up fans!? Well, it seems that no one will tell me who I'm facing in this tournament so I'm just gonna have to play it by ear, I guess. Well, I guess the truth is, I don't need to know who I'm facing! Because when it comes down to it... I can beat anyone in that locker room! And I will... right here... IN EVENSVILLE, INDIANA!

[Cheap pop. Falcon grins.]

FJF: So what I'm gonna do, is I'm gonna walk in that cage, wait on my opponent, beat him up a bit, and walk right back out of the cage victorious! I may have just lost my Cruiserweight Title, but I'll let you in on a little secret... I did it on purpose! Yes, that's right. I LET Sky Suicide beat me! Why, you ask? Well, that's simple. I needed to move on up in life. I needed to climb the ladder to the top of the EWI, and what better way to do it than to win a tournament and get a shot at the company's top title? So, my plan worked! And here I am, going on to the top! All I have to do... is outsmart whatever loser comes to face me... and how hard will that be for the Most Intelligent Man in Sports Entertainment?

BS: It's Falcon taking on Parrish to see who will face Tabu in round two.

GM: Are they sure they wanna win?

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


"Furious" Jesse Falcon vs Tony Parrish

6' 2', 223lbs. | 6' 3", 245lbs

Dallas, TX | Warsaw, North Carolina

'Cowboy' - Kid Rock | 'Stellar' - Incubus


Falcon rushes his opponent from behind and rams his face into the cage. Falcon whips Parrish to the ropes and sets for a backdrop but Parrish drives a forearm down across Falcon's back and places Falcon in a standing headscissors. Parrish goes for a powerbomb but Falcon reverses with a hurricanrana. Parrish rolls through the move and comes back with a clothesline but Falcon ducks under it, boots Parrish in the midsection, and nails a double underhook DDT. Falcon looks up at the top of the cage and then picks Parrish up. He drops him with a belly-to-back suplex and then climbs the rope. Falcon doesn't stop on the rope however but instead ascends to the top of the cage, causing the crowd to pop huge. Falcon hits the Fury Bomb. Falcon covers and gets the three.

Winner: 'Furious' Jesse Falcon


BS: Falcon has done it! It'll be Falcon taking on Tabu in round two!

GM: Can he continue? Tabu is a mad man!

BS: I'm being told we've got something going on in the back ...

(As the scene cuts to the back both Angelus and Ruiner are still being held by Evansville's best as Gottfried comes to the shot.)

MG: You know Ruiner, you can thank Zieba for this, but I have to let you wrestle this match so tell ya what. You'll go out to the ring and you will fight Locksmith, but not only will you have officers with you, but you'll be doing it .... HANDCUFFED! Officers if you please assist Ruiner to the ring I would appricate it.

(With Angelus yelling in the background Ruiner, handcuffed, is lead away by Evansville finest back into the building.)

BS: HE'S GOT TO BE KIDDING!

GM: THIS IS GREAT! This is what he deserves!

BS: What tricks does Gottfried have up his sleeve? Folks we've got to cut away, but when we return we've got more action ... NEXT!


["Stupify" by Disturbed cues up and Ash strolls out to the ring nonchalantly. He's wearing the usual dark tshirt and jeans but his black hair is gone. His head s completely shaved. He walks to the ring slowly, with a deadpan look on his face. He walks around the perimeter of the ring and looks around. He goes under the ring and pulls out a table and sets it up near ring side. He looks into the steel cage at his opponent who has already made his way out. Ash pulls a heavy chain from his pocket and wraps it around his fist. He then grabs a microphone from near-by.]

A: King of the Cage. If this isn't my territory then I don't know what is. It's true that I'm slightly distraut at my losing the TV Title last week, but it's time to move on to bigger and better things. Last week I lost a match in my element. That was my kind of match and I slipped up and lost the advantage for a split second and it cost me my title. Don't think that I'll let that happen again. I'm out to prove myself again. And I'm going to start... (points to his opponent) ...with you. I lost the Television Title but now my sights are set on the World Title. But I'm tired of playing by other people's rules. I'm going to do this MY WAY!

[Ash grins at his opponent in the ring. It's not a friendly smile by any means.]

A: I'm tired of this s***! Right now I couldn't give a flying f*** who owns this fed because NOBODY is going to tell me what I can and cannot do! So I'm going to come in that cage, kick your ass and prove to the world why *I* am called the Personification of Extreme. If you can get out of this match unscathed then you deserve a shot at the world title. Because I'm puttin' out all the stops motherf***er. Right now, I think that nothing short of God Himself could stop me. And you're not even close to THAT, bub.

GM v/o: Oh man! Them's fightin' words!

BS v/o: No doubt, GaryMac! Ash is determined to go on to win this tournament it seems! He's got a new attitude and a new look to go!

GM v/o: I don't think it's a new attitude! I think the man's going over the edge!

[Ash throws the microphone down and climbs into the cage. Before the bell rings, he attacks his opponent with the chain wrapped around his fist. He repeatedly beats him in the head with it and then throws him into the corner before putting him in the Tree of Woe. Ash leaves him and walks to the cage door. Ash takes the chain from his fist and locks the cage door shut with it!]

GM: What the hell is he doing?

BS: I don't know! But this CAN'T be good! Now the only way to get out is to CLIMB out of the cage!

GM: It doesn't look good for his opponent I can tell you that. Who is it by the way?

BS: It's going to be ... "Ironman' Kev Harris! Folks let's go to the ring!


Ash vs "Ironman" Kev Harris

6' 10', 307lbs. | 7' 3", 250lbs

Detroit, MI | Ontario, Canada

'Break Stuff' - Limp Bizkit | 'Ironman' - Black Sabbath


Kev Harris enters first and the crowd pops huge for the big man as he climbs into the cage. Ash walks out to ringside and threatens a fan at ringside before entering the cage. Harris charges his opponent but Ash sidesteps and shoves Harris hard into the cage. Harris stumbles backwards and gets back suplexed by the former Television champion. Harris recovers rather quickly and gets to his feet. Ash boots him in the stomach and then drops him with a face crusher. Ash looks out at the crowd through the cage and smiles evilly.

BS: I don't like the look on Ash's face, Gary Mac.

GM: Dude's sadistic and when he smiles, people get hurt!

Ash picks Harris up and throws him through the ropes so that he's between the ropes and the cage. Ash positions Harris on his knees and then ties his arms up in the ropes. The referee struggles to free him but suddenly moves out of the way as Ash bounces off the ropes and comes back with a big boot, smashing Harris' exposed face into the cage hard.

BS: Good God! He's busted Harris wide open!

GM: Ever since he lost the TV title, Ash has been in one FOUL mood.

Ash pulls Harris through the ropes back into the ring and polishes him off with the Burning Sensation.

BS: This match is thankfully over and Ash is out of the cage.

Winner: Ash


GM: Um, Sanders, he's getting a chair...

BS: Oh lord...NO!

[Ash climbs to the top of the cage and throws the chair down onto Harris. The hardcore fans in the crowd pop huge as Ash leaps off the cage and delivers a legdrop on Harris.]

BS: GOOD GOD! Kevin Harris' face has to be smashed in!

GM: Ash is insane!

BS: He's not...oh no. Ash is dragging Kevin Harris out of the cage and over to a table at ringside. He pulls the nearly-unconscious Harris to his feet and CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH THE TABLE!

GM: JESUS CHRIST! He's gonna kill him!

BS: Kevin Harris' career is coming to an end before our very eyes! Ash is...oh he wouldn't.

GM: The hell he wouldn't! He's got his eyes on OUR TABLE!

[McFarland and Sanders scatter as Ash clears everything off of the announce table and then pulls Harris up onto the table with him. Harris is helpless as Ash puts him through the table with the Burning Sensation. Ash stands up and stands over Harris for several moments before turning and leaving as EMTs arrive.]

BS: Are we back?

GM: I think so.

BS: That man is possessed!

GM: I say he's sick!

BS: Well up next we're going to find out who is gonna face the sadictic Ash in round two. On one side we've got Dean Locksmith and on the other .... RUINER!

GM: The jailbird is gonna have to do it with BOTH HANDS CUFFED! Oh this should be good!

BS: Let's go to the ring!


Ruiner vs Dean Locksmith

6' 4', 245lbs. | 6' 2", 224lbs

Parts Unknown | Roy, Utah

‘Wish' - Nine Inch Nails | 'American Bad Ass' - Kid Rock


(The arena lights abruptly blackout. A gray mist seeps out from underneath the rampway and covers it as red lights flash throughout the arena. A live version of "Happiness In Slavery" by Nine Inch Nails begins to play as the red lights begin to flash very rapidly. Ruiner storms out from behind the curtains with officers by his side and handcuffed and the crowd erupts into cheers. Ruiner is wearing black nylon cargo pants, black 4-buckle mid-boots, and a black fishnet shirt. Upon entering the ring, Ruiner climbs all four ringposts and gives a handcuffed pose at each post. The mist covering the rampway has dissipated as the arena lights come back on and the music slowly fades out)

With Locksmith taking full advantage of the situation he tears into a handcuffed Ruiner with a furious shots of fist into the head and body of Ruiner. Backing Ruiner into the ropes, Locksmith pushes him off into the opposite side of the ropes, but when Ruiner returns he catches Locksmith in the head with the handcuffs and drops him with ease. Ruiner then gets on top of Locksmith and continues a furious assult of ax handles into the forehead of Locksmith opening up multiple cuts in Locksmith's head and not letting up. Seeing that Locksmith cannot continue, Ruiner gets up, spits on Locksmith, and moves towards the opening door where he steps out to vicotry.

Winner: Ruiner


BS: Ruiner has done it! He'll face Ash in the next round!

GM: But will he be out of jail in order to do it? He might have a interesting night in the cell!

BS: Folks we've got to cut away, but when we return we'll have the last two matches for the King of the Cage ... UP NEXT!


BS: Welcome back everyone. Well we've made it to the last four and it's been one Hell of a show so far.

GM: Brother you have said it. I'm really looking foward to the ending of this match.

BS: Well we know it's going to be Genesis of all people ....

GM: Our Pay Per View is gonna fight?

BS: I don't know, but he'll be facing this man!

[The lights go out and the crowd when the white letters "TEAM PHENOM" flash across the screen and "Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins starts up. A strobe effect starts as "Ego Buster" Dan Ryan comes out to a pop from the EWI crowd. Ryan heads straight to the ring and motions for a microphone as the lights come up and he looks into the audience with a smirk.]

DR: "Well it's nice to be back after a little vacation to get some things sorted out. Sometimes you just need to recharge the batteries and get things in order. And speaking of order, I have to say I got just a little personal satisfaction in putting an end to the overrated meatball himself, Antonio Corleone. Tony Tony Tony......did you really expect your challenges to go unanswered. We ran the roads together for so long, it's interesting how quickly you forgot the way things work. I guess some things just never change. While I have moved on with my life, you continue to revel in the failed gimmick and trappings of a character you could never live up to. You were never the boss of your own wrestling stable, much less some faux-Mafia leader. But now that you're finished here, you can go ahead and send DeNiro his outfit back and ship your ass off to Naples with the rest of the Godfather wanna-be's and get used to life as a real person. A loser of course....but finally in the end....a real person and not the personification of a man you could never become, only imitate. But let's switch gears for a minute here. King of the Cage. 32 men will start this thing and only one will emerge. I'm no stranger to this type of format. Hell, I came out as the winner of a similar contest in the EMWA by defeating Kevin Powers in the final and went on to a shot at the World Title. And might I add in addition to that statement that no one has ever taken me to the limit like Kevin Powers did that night. But here in the EWI things happen a little differently. Extreme is the name of the game. Again, I am no stranger to the format and whether it's Tabu, Aho, Sampson or whoever is unlucky enough to draw opposite the Ego Buster....I will come out on top the way I always do...and true to my word ...I will bring EWI back to it's rightful status and make sure Zieba regains control of this company. Here's a tip. You want Zieba, Gottfried? You want a piece of this? Come get some..."

GM: The man is on a mission!

BS: Let's get to the ring!


"The Ego Buster" Dan Ryan vs Genesis

6' 7', 355lbs. | 7' 2", 415lbs

Houston, TX | Del Rey

‘Zero' - Smashing Pumpkins | 'Machine Head' - Bush


With Ego Buster already in the ring he mocks Genesis to get into the ring. Once he does Ego attacks and the bell sounds starting the match. From the beginning to the end of the match Genesis obviously never had a chance from the beginning as Ego Buster totally domination this match. At one point Dan Ryan connected with a running lariat only to follow up with a burning hammer. As the match continued Ego could see that Genesis could not continue. Ego moved in for the kill and finished off Genesis with The Humility Bomb. With Genesis planted in the ring Dan ‘Ego Buster’ Ryan simply laughed at his fallen opponent and then walked out of the ring taking the win.

Winner: Dan 'Ego Buster' Ryan


BS: Ego Buster has done it! He's moving on to round two.

GM: And do you know who he's going to face?

BS: There are only so many wrestlers left.

GM: Well I've been doing my math and Neil Hagan is one of them and the other one just has to be ... ROB SAMPSON!

BS: Rob Sampson made some pre-recorded comments before his match and here they are.

(The scene opens with a closeup on the EWI Federation championship belt. The camera pulls back slowly to reveal Rob Sampson standing in front of a generic backdrop with the title belt resting on his shoulder.)

RS: Erik Zieba may be gone, but his touch can still be felt thoughtout EWI. Take tonight for example. Tonight we start a tournament to crown the King of the Cage. 32 wrestlers, myself included, but tonight I'm concerned with only one, and that's whoever it is I face inside that steel cage tonight. Right now there are 31 other wrestlers that all have butterflies in their stomach and are asking themselves, "Will I have to face Rob Sampson? Am I ready for that?" The answers for one very unlucky soul is yes you do...and no you aren't! The list of people I've defeated lately reads like a Who's Who of professional wrestling and tonight I either add a new name to that list or put a check mark beside someone's name who's already there. It doesn't matter to me which one it is the one that happens. Whether it's Erik Zieba or Marcus Gottfried in charge, one thing will always remain and that's the fact that Rob Sampson is the best this company has to offer. Anyone who thinks otherwise...is welcome to try and prove me wrong. Here at Heatwave in Evensville, I make someone famous and give them their 15 minutes of fame, but that spotlight won't be shining on them when I'm done. Oh no. They'll be back in the cold shadow of defeat. You're looking at the future...King...of the Cage.

(Fade out.)

GM: The last match of the night! I'm so ready.

BS: Let's not waste any time on this one. Let's go to the ring and watch the final first round match in the King of the Cage!


"Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson vs Neil Hagan

6' 2', 260lbs. | 6' 0", 221lbs

Cincinnati, OH | Flagstaff, Arizona

‘Biggest and The Best' - Clawfinger | 'Setting Sun' - The Chemical Brothers


Hagan waits in the ring as "Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson walks out to a huge pop from the crowd. Sampson hands the Federation title belt to a ring attendant and enters the cage. The match begins and the two men tie up. Hagan gets a side headlock but Sampson forearms him in the ribs and throws him off to the ropes. Hagan ducks a clothesline and comes back with a cross body block. Sampson throws him off and runs to the ropes. Hagan drops to the mat as Sampson leaps over him and goes to the other side. Hagan drops down again but this time Sampson stops short and drops an elbow to the back of Hagan's head.

BS: The Federation champion outwits Hagan on that exchange!

Sampson follows up with a corkscrew legdrop and then works the crowd. Hagan gets to his feet and throws a forearm into Sampson's chest. Sampson fires back with a series of knife-edge chops and then rams Hagan's face into the cage. Sampson then whips Hagan to the ropes and catches him for a Rydeen Bomb on the rebound. Sampson covers but only gets two.

GM: Sampson's dominating this match!

Hagan reverses an Irish whip attempt and powerslams Sampson on the rebound. Hagan quickly heads up top and attempts a flying headbutt but Sampson moves out of the way and Hagan crashes into the mat. Sampson signals for the Show Stopper and the crowd comes to their feet as Hagan slowly stands up. Sampson takes a double step and then connects with his Show Stopper superkick. Sampson drops down and covers Hagan for the win.

Winner: 'Mr. Main Event' Rob Sampson


BS: That's it! Rob Sampson will advance to Round 2 of the tournament! But he's got to meet his friend and teammate Dan Ryan.

GM: He's calling for a microphone.

RS: Dan Ryan! We might be partners, and we're definitely friends, but next week, it's just business. The King of the Cage trophy practically has my name on it, and you're just another obstacle I have to go through. At Shockwave, the spotlight...shines brightest...on you!

["Biggest and the Best" plays as Sampson walks back to the locker room. He stops at the top of the ramp and holds the Federation title belt up for all to see.]

BS: Folks we're out of time! For Victoria McCave, Garrett McFarland, and everyone at EWI ..

GM: SSN!!!

BS: I'm Brett Sanders saying good night from Evansville! Join us for our next show Heatwave in Evansville Part TWO cause we're staying another night!

GM: TOTALLY!

(As the scene from the Roberts Stadium closes out it opens back up at the local police station where they hold prisioners before trial. As the camera looks in one of the cells they see Angelus and Ruiner just arriving and being put into one.)

A: This sucks! I swear you'll hear from our lawyers!

??: Hey look. Look who showed up to the party.

??: How .... convienent!

R: Who's that? What do you two want?

(As the voices get closer the voice start to sound more familiar.)

??: How about we finish what we started and call this .... A Long Hard Road out of Jail match!!!

(As they come more into the light they're revealed to be Apocalypse and Powers.)

A: Not you two! Not now!

KP: How about it Apoc? You want this one? He looks like a good dancer.

Apocalypse: No. I'll take this one. Either way ... you two ... ENJOY THE F'N RIDE!

(As those two begin to fight in the cell the camera fades out)
