{As the show comes back on '(Can't You)Trip Like I Do - Filter and The Crystal Method begins to play in the back ground. Suddenly the song stops and is replaced with 'Play With Me' - Insane Clown Posse. Up on the ExtremeScreen images of The Dark Carnival begin to show across the screen. At the top of the rampway Fairhurst and Miso are the first ones to hit the scene. She is wearing Black leather shorts and wearing an ICP Jersey and Miso is decked out in her blue sleeveless dress with the sides of the legs cut up to the hip along with white leather boots. Coming up behind them is 'Good God' Kevin Powers and Apocalypse. Both dressed in street clothes Powers gets behind Fairhurst and holds his arms out in a Y pattern while Apocalypse stands silent and still. Behind them a white fountain like pyro effect goes off and the crowd shoots a chorus of cheers. They make their way to the ring and get inside. Fairhurst makes her way in and points to the outside so that the ring announcer can make his way out.}

RF: Ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the EWI....WELCOME to the TRUE Main Event! Tonight, under The Big Top, we have a special treat for you. As you can see BOTH the juggling duo is already in the ring so prepare to be amazed, astonished, and most of all getting your dollar's worth cause The Dark Carnival is HERE TO STAY!!!

KP: GREENVILLE! Tonight, as Roseanne said, you are about to be amazed. Tonight you are about to be astonished, but most of all....TONIGHT...we're gonna have some fun because that is what The Dark Carnival does best. Tonight we're gonna talk about the true scum in the EWI. Let's talk about......The SSN. Now it seems that everyone is set to sell out to a company that enjoys to put rules and regulations on a sport that really doesn't need the such. HOW IRONIC that Eddy Love would go back to the mask routine to help boost the stock and his stroke in the SSN! Still no matter how many people they get under their wing they cannot stop the power of the EWI cause we are the company that Extreme on the map! Sure Locke had a vision, but now the boy is blind in the ongoing extinguished limelight of the CSWA. Harders had a vision, but that's only from the shadows because he's not around anymore. Then again wasn't it Harders that brought the SSN to the EWI?

RF: That's the rumor.

KP: Well NOBODY is taking my sport, The Extreme Sport, from me! The Vital Idols learned it and anyone else who dares to learn it then bring it cause NOBODY will .... Hey Rose look out over there. Isn't that...

RF: I think it is!

KP: Well Hell fellas come on in the ring so we can talk.

(As the camera pans to the crowd they pick up on a pair of familiar faces.)

GM: Is that?

BS: Marc Ross and Doug Greene of Maximum Overdrive! They haven't been heard from since Cosmic Encounters! What are they doing here?

GM: Hey even they can enjoy a good show. And being the only unbeaten team in the EWI / MWC history you got to respect them.

BS: Well they're in the ring with The Dark Carnival

MR: Thanks for having us in here. Granted you took away from our beer time .... but we'll forgive ya this time.

KP: So what are you guys doing here?

MR: Well we came here to see a good wrestling show, but since we've been here all we've seen is nothing less of barbaric! What dump did this federation go into where wrestlers have to basically kill themselves just to get a win?

DG: When we was in the EWI we didn't have to resort to extreme measures like this. We came out, beat our opponents, and enjoyed another day.

KP: Um excuse me, but aren't you the same guys that enjoyed dressing up as beer attendents and sliding into the ring to attack Simply Stunning and The Gothic Alchemy with beer bottles?

MR: Compared to what's going on now THAT isn't Extreme. Matches like that damn Southern BBQ match is uncalled for. Of course if you was to pull that crap with us you would have your asses handed to you.

KP: Oh hello. Is that a challenge?

DG: You can't see it in front of your face? We're willing to bet that you two clowns can't beat the ONLY unbeaten team EVER in the EWI! So how about it CSWA Chumps? You got what it takes?

A: (taking the mic) Ring the bell.

GM: A match? NOW?

BS: It's Maximum Overdrive and The Dark Carnival in a surprise match of the night and TDC is taking it right to them!

GM: Maximum Overdrive is never one to back down from a fight and neither is The Dark Carnival so this should be VERY GOOD!

BS: Powers and Greene are slugging it out with neither giving up an inch! Meanwhile Ross is getting the best of Apocalypse and launches him into the ropes. Apocalypse .... DAMN! Apocalypse connects with a leveling clothesline! And now Apocalypse is just standing over his opponent!

GM: Always count on Apocalypse to show some expression.

BS: Powers just gained the advantage and shot Greene into the ropes. Powers has him with Apocalypse running .... WHAT THE HELL?!?!

GM: Apocalypse with a Death Drop and an assist from Powers! And Greene is OUT!

BS: And now Powers just picked up Ross and sent him into the ropes .... DEATH DROP AGAIN! And Maximum Overdrive is down and out!

{Suddenly the lights go out for a few moments, but when they come back on it's The Dark Carnival that is laid out in the center of the ring with The Mechanical Animals standing over them with baseball bats. On the outside of the ring several Junon soldiers are holding Fairhurst and Miso back.}

BS: WHAT THE HELL!?!?

GM: The Mechanical Animals have hit the ring and dropped The Dark Carnival! This is GREAT!

BS: And now Angelus is calling for a mic.

Angelus: You two think that you are the team to beat in the EWI? You two are nothing except veterans taking up dead space! You two have proved nothing since being here and The Mechanical Animals are willing to put you two to the test! If you ever recover from the destruction we brought forth then accept the challenge we are about to give. At Domination II The Mechanical Animals challenge The Dark Carnival to walk with us down The Long Hard Road out of Hell. Once you two recover ... let us know.

{Angelus drops the mic and The Mechanical Animals, along with the Junon soldiers, head out of the ring and back up the rampway. As Fairhurst and Miso go to check on The Dark Carnival, Apocalypse manages to recover and reaches for the mic.}

Apocalypse: (still struggling) You two wanna attack us? Get ready to experience true drama for at Domination II ...

KP: (takes the mic from Apocalypse and also struggling) We're going to send you two bitches straight ... to ... HELL!!

BS: MY GOD! What have we just witnessed?

GM: Young blood calling out the old dogs if you ask me.

BS: And what is The Long Hard Road out of Hell? Folks we're going to have to keep you updated on this one!

GM: And now look at The Dark Carnival lick their wounds as they leave the ring. Bye bye bozos.

BS: Folks coming up next we've got a return match for the Tag Team titles between former champions Simply Stunning and current champs Gemini and Cancer.

GM: Now what do you get when you have two members of a team that can't get along?

BS: A very destructive duo in either aspect.

GM: And let's not forget the Commando project cause you never know where he'll show up. Remember where there is one .... there is the other.

BS: Folks let's get to the ring for our next encounter!


For the EWI Tag Team Titles

Return Match

Simply Stunning vs Gemini/Cancer

Combined Weight 556lbs | Combined Weight 525 lbs

Sunderland, England | Purgatory

"Let Me Entertain You" - Robbie Williams | "Heart Shaped Box" - Nirvana


Cue up: Let Me Entertain You. By Robbie Williams.

Hardy and Wilcox appear in a burst of pyro at the top of the ramp. Both men are wired for action and covered with sweat. They look hungry, fit and ready for action. Both of them stride confidently down to the ring and vault over the top ropes. Upon entering the ring, they briefly acknowledge the fans then huddle for a last minute strategy session.

BS: Simply Stunning looking pretty on their game tonight.

GM: They were pretty shocked at being beaten by Gemini and Cancer last week. It's always embarrasing getting beaten by what is pretty much recognized as the EWI's dysfunctional family.

BS: Well... they are former World champions Gary. Both of them!

GM: Don't remind me... to think that Love held that title once and those two went and sullied it.

Cue up: 'Heart Shaped Box' Nirvana

Gemini and Cancer appear at the top of the ramp. Cancer looks fine in his tights and outfit, accompanied by the sultry Jade and her impressive Green Mohawk. She latches on to Cancers arm and struts down to ringside with him. Gemini lags a bit behind the two. He still wears bandages from the explosion at Shockwave, he appears to have a pair of black eyes and he's walking pretty stiffly... as if bruised up.

BS: Oh my... Gemini not looking well at all!

GM: Hey, it's the EWI! We play rough! You don't like it, sue!

BS: That's not really fair Gary, I feared for Gemini's life when commando threw him out the door of that helicopter!

GM: Yeah I was praying for him... praying he'd drown!

Cancer and Gemini enter the ring, Gemini entering somewhat gingerly. Gemini heads back to a corner and leans carefully into it, while Cancer motions for a mike. He gets it, smiles at Jade as she struts around, then addresses the crowd.

C: You know... I woke up this morning, and I felt sick. I felt a little under the weather. I felt a little bit... like a whore.

Gemini stands up a little straighter and stares at Cancer, Wilcox and Hardy stare determinedly at Gemini and Cancer from across the ring.

C: And do you know why I felt like a whore this morning? Let me tell you why. Because I have been carrying this pathetic worm for the last three months. (Jerks a thumb at Gemini.) This punk has no talent, no skill, no charisma and no business being in this ring. Two-face, (points at Gemini.) I carried you to this title. You don't deserve it, you never did and you never will.

Gemini stares at Cancer and slowly drags the belt off his shoulder until it hangs limply from his fingers. He wears an incredulous look on his face that is clearly visible through the makeup and is quietly shaking his head in a 'Don't you dare' type manner. Wilcox and Hardy watch the proceedings with growing smiles.

C: So here it is Gemini, here's the deal. You want these titles so much? They're yours, you useless piece of crap. (Cancer takes off his belt and throws it at Gemini, it bounces off his chest and lands crumpled on the matt.) You can defend them all by yourself! (Jade climbs up on the apron behind Gemini.) Oh and Gemini, just in case you forgot? (Jade taps Gemini on the shoulder, he turns to her and she spits the green mist into his face. Cancer grins in glee as Gemini falls to the matt clawing at his eyes. He walks over to Gemini and stands on overtop of Gemini, screaming the next line at him.)

C: THERE'S NO CURE FOR CANCER!

Wilcox and Hardy stand shocked and deliriously happy as Cancer starts to pummel Gemini with the microphone. He lands about five stiff shots to Gemini's head in a row, busting him open. Gemini tries to shield himself as best as he can, but he's blind and hurting from last weeks assault and Jade's green mist so he's pretty much just a target for Cancer. Simply Stunning stand away and let Cancer assault Gemini. Cancer hauls Gemini back up by the throat and whips him off the ropes, he kiscks Gemini in the gut, grabs him and hammers him into the matt with a diving powerbomb. He admires his work for a second as Gemini limply bleeds into the matt, then sprints to the top rope. He grins out at the stunned crowd for a second then hits Gemini with a vicious 450 splash. He bounces back to his feet, smiles at the crowd, then slides out through the ropes and grabs a mike again.

C: Oh, and Gemini? Just in case you're wondering, WE'RE DONE! I'd sooner team with Boy George than get in the ring as your freaking partner again. Now as for you two limeys... he's all yours boys. If you two assholes think that you can beat one... and I MEAN JUST ONE GUY, I guess you might be champs again. Then again, with you two idiots, I guess anything is possible.

BS: I don't believe this! Cancer just threw Gemini to this wolves! He just threw away the tag titles!

GM: Apparently it's a brain Cancer... I don't even understand where Cancer is coming from here.

BS: Well Simply Stunning have an absolute gift here from Cancer, and they look like they intend to use it for all it's worth.

Wilcox and Hardy look at each other then sprint up the turnbuckles to land a Senton Bomb and a leg drop in rapid sequence. Hardy covers Gemini as wilcox rolls away from the legdrop with a look of insane glee.

BS: One... Two... Kickout!

GM: Oh man! Just give it up Gemini! You're done!

BS: And nobody looks more stunned then Cancer Gary!

Cancer indeed looks shocked as the camera flips to him for a second, the camera cycles back to Hardy, as he grabs Gemini by the hair and starts to pummel him with lefts and rights. The ref forces Wilcox back to his corner and the match actually begins as the bell rings. Hardy Drags Gemini to his feet, whips him off the ropes and flattens him with a superkick. He grabs Gemini's leg and rolls him up for the pin, but only gets the two count again.

BS: Ok ref... stop this.

GM: You're done Gemini! Let go! Give up!

Hardy looks frustrated as he fails to get the three count on Gemini once again, he rolls up Gemini in a mahistrol cradle, but once again only gets a two count.

BS: Unbelievable! Fans we have word from the back that Victoria has a major story breaking!

GM: What's that, she and Evan finally get around to doing the horizontal lambada?

The Camera cuts to Victoria McCave in the back, she's holding a mike and appears to be trying to gain some semblance of decorum as she adjusts her oufit and hair for the camera. The camera flashes a shot of her, then reduces her picture to a small square in the right corner so as to not obscure the match. Hardy slams Gemini, drops a leg across his throat then spins and tags in Wilcox. Wilcox sails through the air and lands a crushing elbow to Gemini's chest. Gemini sits up right up with a look of agony, but Wilcox fires him flat and goes for yet another pin, but Gemini somehow manages to kickout one more time.

BS: Victoria, what's going on in the back?

VM: Brett, I have come to learn that a EWI superstar has just filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the EWI!

BS: Is it Eddy Love victoria?

GM: Ah... crap.

VM: No Brett, it's not Eddy Love, I've also been in contact with Melissa, the manager of the Vitol Idols, and she has no idea either. I'm waiting at this time to talk to EWI owner Erik Zieba right now, and as soon as I get a chance, I'll let you know what he has to say!

BS: Thank you Victoria.

GM: Oh... MAN! I don't believe this!

BS: What are you talking about?

GM: You make one joke about sueing somebody... you know just who they are going to blame right?

BS: Oh... I don't know, maybe the wrestler actually sueing the company?

Meanwhile in the ring, Wilcox and Hardy dish out a multitude of punishing moves to Gemini in the ring, Wilcox powerbombs Gemini, two count. German suplex, two count. Pumphandle slam, two count. Hardy tags in, tries a new series of moves. Falcon Arrow, two count. Dragon Suplex, two count. Inverted ddt, two count. Hardy stands over Gemini as he writhes on the matt, frustration evident on his face. He speaks quickly to Wilcox, and makes a hand signal to Wilcox.

GM: This is it! Quite simply awesome! Gemini's not gonna wiggle out of this!

Hardy whips Gemini into the ropes and Wilcox climbs to the top rope preparing to land his half of the move, a 360 degree moonsault. Wilcox launches himself into the air, as Hardy goes for the move, but Gemini blocks the tilt-a-whirl slam and spins Hardy into a Rock Bottom, sidestepping the airborne Wilcox. Wilcox lands on Hardy with a loud whap, and bounces back to his feet. Horrified by the miscue. Turning, he charges Gemini, Gemini desperately grabs Wilcox and presses him out of the ring and through the spanish announcers table. Staggering around drunkenly, Gemini spies who he is looking for and mouthing a bitter insult pops Cancer and Jade the bird. Jade and Cancer turn and look at each other, then sprint down to the ring again.

BS: This is simply incredible. Gemini won't quit, and he's turned things completely around!

GM: I just want everyone to know that this whole sueing thing was just a joke. Nothing more.

Meanwhile, in the ring, Gemini staggers over to the semi-concious Hardy and grabs him by the leg and locks on his submission hold Torquemada. Hardy writhes and howls but refuses to submit. Gemini merely grits his teeth and cinches up on the hold. The camera snaps off a quick shot of Wilcox drunkenly trying to free himself from the wreckage of the spanish announcers table... and the spanish announcers. Jade jumps up on the ring and starts yelling at the ref, who is trying to see if Hardy wants to submit. Meanwhile, Cancer grabs a chair from ringside, and waits for the right moment. Jade keeps on yelling at the ref, who steadfastly keeps ignoring her. finally, in frustration she unwraps the leather collar from around her neck and throws it at the ref. Gemini ignores all this, his whole attention focused on the hold, and the screaming opponent beneath him. Sweat, blood and green liquid all drip from his face. Finally, the ref turns and starts arguing with Jade, demanding that she head back to the dressing room. In that instant, Cancer rolls into the ring and hits a home run shot off of Gemini's head with the folding chair. Gemini's eyes unfocus, then he crumples like a broken doll on the matt. Cancer grabs the agonized Hardy and drags him on top of the unconcious Gemini, then slides out of the ring.

BS: This is a travesty. This is horrible.

GM: Actually, this is damn funny. I've never seen anyone as determined as Cancer to lose a belt.

Jade see's that Cancer has accomplished his mission, and jumps down from the apron. The ref turns, spies Hardy on top of Gemini, and drops to count.

GM: One! Two! THREE! Gemini loses the tag titles!

Winner: Simply Stunning (NEW EWI Tag Team Champions)


BS: Oh my goodness. Simply Stunning are trying to recover enough to celebrate. Wilcox has pried himself free of the wreckage of the table and he's trying to get into the ring. Hardy is starting to recover in the ring and he's clutching one of the title belts.

GM: And old two-face is still in dream land. If he'd been a little more on his game maybe he wouldn't have cost Cancer the tag titles.

BS: What? Are you nuts Gary? Gemini nearly defended those belts all by himself!

GM: So what? Cancer was right to cut him loose. It's obvious Gemini just doesn't have the right stuff to be Cancer's partner.

Suddenly, as the referee tries to revive Gemini and Simply Stunning celebrate in the middle of the ring, the lights in the arena cut out. When they flick back on, Simply Stunning lay in an unconcious heap outside of the ring, the referee on top of them. In the ring stands Commando, wearing a rubber wetsuit, goggles slipped back over his head, and a speargun. The speargun is attached to a cable, which is in turn connected to a large yellow barrel topped with a blinking light. Gemini is just starting to regain conciousness as Commando brings the butt of the speargun down on top of his head, knocking him back into unconciousness. Commando throws Gemini into the ropes, then tangles his arms up into the ropes so that he's immobilized.

BS: Oh for the love of God.

GM: What the heck is Commando up to now?

BS: Well at least nothing blew up this time. I can't say I like the look of that speargun though.

GM: Does this have something to do with the fish beating at Shockwave?

BS: Fishbeating? Is that even a word?

GM: Oh shut up Brett.

Commando starts slapping Gemini across the face until he starts to stir, he grabs a mike from a technician and starts to speak.

C: C'mon, wake up. Wake up you punk. You wanted my attention so bad? Here I am. Here I am. You think it was real funny to come back and whale on me with a fish? Did you think that Gemini? Did you have a big laugh at my expense? Everyone else laughed, didn't you?

BS: Oh my... Commando looks really unhappy.

C: Well, you know what Gemini? I like to have fun too. I really like to have fun. As a matter of fact, that little stunt you pulled last week gave me a little idea. When I was training in the pacific, I used to really enjoy spearfishing. Yep. I really did. I bagged all the big fish. Sharks, Barracuda, Manta Rays. I did. But to be honest, none of them were as much fun as the fish I'm aiming for now. (Hoists speargun up and aims it at Gemini.) Nope, i've got myself the ultimate fish in the barrel. (Racks the speargun to chamber up a spear and aims it at Gemini's crotch. He snarls the next line.) Go ahead you little prick. Call me Commandork Now.

A *HUGE* pyro goes off on the stage. Startling Commando, the announcing crew and the Crowd.

CUE UP: 'Wildchild' by Renegade Master.

Erik Zieba appears at the top of the ramp, and he looks mighty unhappy. As a matter of fact, he looks angrier than anyone has ever seen him before. He's accompanied by at least a dozen of EWI's security team, dressed in full riot gear.

EZ: Knock this crap THE HELL OFF! GET DOWN THERE! (Gestures towards the ring and the security team rushes down towards the ring) GEMINI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!

BS: Gemini?

GM: Gemini?

C: Gemini?

The security team pushes into the ring and after a brief struggle takes the speargun away from a confused and angry Commando. They untangle Gemini from the ropes and help him to his feet then hand him a microphone. Before Gemini can say anything to anybody, EWI owner Zieba starts tearing into him again via the microphone.

EZ: Well? I'm waiting Gemini! Why don't you tell me, the man that made you rich, the man that made you famous. Why you are SUEING ME? Why Gemini? I'd REALLY like to know why. Every one of your paychecks, on time. All your PPV money sitting right there in your trust account. Your first class travel status, every single one of your perks, what was it that pissed you off at me so much you decided to sue the EWI, AND ME, for 250 MILLION DOLLARS?

G: Did you... did you actually read why we're sueing you Erik?

EZ: Lets see here, right after the declaration of lawsuit for damages inflicted in the sum of 250 MILLION DOLLARS, is the REASON for this TRAITOROUS ACT. Gemini, a soon to be EX-EMPLOYEE of the EWI, is sueing myself and this esteemed federation because... (Blinks...then his face slowly pales.) because...

G: Does it make some more sense now Erik? Do you get it now? Why don't you tell the audience what it says. Go ahead Erik, we'll wait.

EZ: it says that... uh... the reason you're sueing me is ... uh... because I have failed to provide a safe work environment.

G: Let us repeat that statement for the whole world Erik, the REASON that WE, GEMINI, SUPERSTAR, FORMER AND FUTURE WORLD CHAMPION, ARE SUEING THE EWI, AND OUR GOOD FRIEND ERIK ZIEBA, IS THIS. FAILURE. TO. PROVIDE. A. SAFE. WORKING. ENVIRONMENT. Wow. Is it really that hard to understand Erik? This Prick here was about to shoot us with a speargun. Last week he threw us out of a helicopter strapped to a gurney. AFTER he blew us up. And it wasn't even the first time he did that! and you know what Erik? While we were franticlly trying to rip apart the security straps on the gurney, we realised that you didn't give a crap. That we work our ASS off for you, and you barely schedule this dork... oh excuse us COMMANDORK to wrestle at all. So he can jump us from behind, from a helicopter, from the shadows, and never once face to face. AND WE'RE FREAKING SICK OF IT.

EZ: You can't win this. This is the EWI. Extreme wrestling federation. Extreme. You signed up for that stuff. I have a contract with your name on it!

G: First of all, let us ask you this Erik, has any of that crap occurred during a match? The stunt with the helicopter? The explosion? Was Commando even involved in the match at the time? We'll take it to the limit against anybody in the whole damned EWI, but we can't sit there and be a stinking target for anybody that feels a need to make a point.

EZ: I can take this to trial Gemini! I can win!

G: Really Erik? Why don't you show the jury that clip of ourselves diving out of that helicopter strapped to a gurney? That'll really swing them to your side. Or the concussion grenade that went off in the ring? Or how about the speargun? Wow, Erik. You know what, We'd like for this to go to trial. Because We DON'T THINK WE'D LOSE.

EZ: Is that what you want Gemini? To BANKRUPT the EWI?

G: Now, Erik, you know us pretty well, do you think that we wouldn't give you an alternative?

EZ: (Rubbing his temples.) What, precisely, do you want Gemini?

G: Well, first of all, we want assurances that this piece of white trash (Pointing at Commando.)...

C: Hey!

G: That this piece of waste matter NEVER jumps into one of our matches again. He doesn't come out of the rafters, he doesn't come out from under the ring, he doesn't jump out of helicopters. Nothing. If he starts pulling this crap again, we want him gone. Out of the fed!

C: You CAN'T DO THAT!

EZ: Commando, SHUT UP!

G: Second, we want a match for Domination. A three way dance between ourself, this backjumping scumbag, and our ex-partner in a three way dance. We WANT OUR POUND OF FLESH FROM THESE TWO.

EZ: And?

G: And what?

EZ: What else do you want?

G: That's it.

EZ: That's all you want. You want a guarantee that Commando will never interfere in one of your matches again, and you want a three way dance with Cancer, Commando and yourself at Domination.

G: Yes.

EZ: And in return, you'll drop the lawsuit.

G: Completely.

EZ: DONE. It is my supreme pleasure to announce to this crowd that at Domination 2, just a mere two weeks away, there will be a three way dance between Gemini, Commando and Cancer. It will be an extreme match, with and extreme stipulation and this will be the absolute last time that Commando and Gemini will be in the ring together! And since it’s a special match how about some special rules. I’m calling for a Thunderdome match. Three men enter and only one man wins. Will there be weapons around? Oh yes there will be and here’s the ironic twist. In order to win the Thunderdome match you must be victorious against BOTH competitors! This means that when you beat one the match goes on, but when you beat the other, either by pinfall or submission or surrender, then that is when the match is finally over! This will ASSURE (points at Gemini’s right side) you, (points at Commando) you, (points at Gemini’s left side) and you that this will be your final match against eachother cause I will not put up with this EVER AGAIN!!! As well, if Commando interferes in any match that Gemini is involved with from this point on he will be FIRED!!! Gemini, if YOU interfere with one of Commando's matches, YOU will be fired as well.

C: That is total BS Zieba! You can't treat me this way!

EZ: Commando, if I have to take this to trial, you had better believe that I will be sueing your ass for every penny in court costs! So JUST SHUTUP AND BE A GOOD LITTLE BOY! Security, escort Mr. Tasker out of the Arena! (Commando tussles a little with the security team, but accedes to their demands when one of them threatens him with a can of mace.)

EZ: Now, Gemini I guess you'd better head on down to see the EMT's, because you look pretty rough and I wouldn't want to promote a unsafe work environment for my employees now would I? And one other thing Gemini, from now on it's MR. ZIEBA to you.

Gemini laughs and shakes his head.

G: Fine Mr. Zieba, we're glad we could work this out.

EZ: Work this out nothing! I'm sick and tired of trying to babysit you two little psycho's. At Domination you two work out whatever issues you have between yourselves, and then move on! Because that's it! IF you can't play nice, then you don't GET TO PLAY AT ALL. NOW GET YOU ASS DOWN TO THE EMT'S. The security will escort you there.

BS: Zieba has done it again! Thunderdome match with Gemini, Cancer, and Commando and the winner MUST BEAT both of his opponents!

GM: Zieba just proved that he's is trying to kill people and with four of them in the ring at once ... he'll get the job done quicker.

BS: Four? Oh nevermind! Folks we've got to cut away, but when we return it's the Main Event ... NEXT!!!


GM: Well folks here it is the main event of the evening and I have been looking forward to this one.

BS: No kidding, these are two of the great athletes in the game and to be honest, I think the champ might have a run for his money tonight.

GM: We have seen Tabu transform over the past few weeks from a homicidal maniac into a mat technician. I wonder if he will keep that strategy tonight. And being on the SSN payroll isn’t a bad move either. Saul now has Tabu AND “Hurricane” Eddy Love in his stable…SSN cannot fail, no way.

BS: And what about the match last week? Sampson/Aho against Love/Hiroshi, what a wild ending! Alan Tasker running in and all sorts of mayhem unfolding, I hope we don’t see that same ending on this show.

GM: Lets get to the introductions.


MAIN EVENT

For the EWI Extreme World Title

'Mr. Hardcore' Evan Aho vs. Tabu

6'0", 234lbs | 6'2", 240lbs

Seattle, WASH | Bombay, India

"Blood, Milk and Sky" - White Zombie | "Hate Me Now" by Nas & Puff Daddy


(CUE UP: “Hate Me Now” - Nas & Puff Daddy)

The arena goes dark and screen in the arena displays the letters one at a time…S…. S…. N and then the logo appears. Highlights of last week’s contract signing flash on the screen with Saul E. Dastardly and Marcus Gottfried signing a contract and shaking hands. Then images of Tabu’s therapy play in sequence, ending with his victory over Hellfighter in Greensboro. The spotlight hits the ramp and out of the entranceway emerges Saul E. Dastardly leading the way for Tabu and 187. The fans are booing them as they walk out. Tabu is wearing similar attire from last week. He is wearing long tights that are of a shiny silver material. The letters “SSN” are on each leg. On the back it reads “Tabu” and on the front is a strange design that is Tabu’s logo. He is wearing white elbow pads and kneepads. He has his hair up in a ponytail and is clean-shaven. You can hardly tell that this is the same man from a month ago. As he walks down to the ring a pyrotechnics display goes off behind him, he turns around and looks on with a strange look on his face. He continues to walk to the ring and as he enters, reminiscent of Sid in his WWF days, a large sign drops from the ceiling with Tabu’s name on it and sparklers going off all around it. The arena lights cut on and Tabu puts on his game face.

(CUE UP: “Blood, Milk and Sky” - White Zombie)

Evan Aho emerges from behind the curtain with his jaw set and the EWI Extreme World Championship Belt around his waist. The giant screen over the entrance way cycles through various match high spots. Aho with a backdrop driver, Aho throwing a belly-to-belly, Aho with an inverted DDT, etc. Evan wears his standard navy blue trunks, wrist wraps, kneepads and calf-high wrestling boots. Aho walks quickly to the ring with his eyes never leaving Tabu. Evan steps through the ropes and stands stoically in a neutral corner. The referee gets the belt from Aho and holds it up high above his head. But before he rings the bell, Saul E. Dastardly grabs the mic.

SED: I can’t believe I forgot! How silly of me, hit the music!

(CUE UP: “Addicted To Love” - Robert Palmer)

The music draws a mixed reaction from the crowd. A couple of “Eddy” chants break out in the crowd combined with a loud accompaniment of cheers and jeers. Love steps out onto the entrance ramp and basks in the noise for a moment before walking down to ringside.

BS: (v/o) What is he doing here?

Eddy waves at Aho in the ring who doesn’t even bat an eye at Love’s presence. Love continues over to Saul and shakes his hand, then grabs an extra headset at the announcer’s table.

EL: Is it great to be Eddy Love or what? You know all the Eddy Love lovers out there demanded that I have more TV time and what better spot to position me in, than the main event of this show.

BS: Well Eddy, you certainly like to take over the spotlight when it isn’t on you. Then again, this is your match. You passed it on to Tabu as a sign of good faith to Saul and SSN.

EL: Not of good faith, just as a gift. Saul expressed his support of SSN and this is a token of my esteem.

BS: There’s the bell and this match is underway!

Collar and elbow tie up in the center of the ring. Both men trying to gain advantage, Aho shoves Tabu down to the mat and Tabu quickly whips up and stands back on his feet. They tie up again and this time Aho shoves Tabu into the corner, Tabu reverses the hold and puts Aho in the corner. Tabu nails Evan with two knife-edge chops and Aho retaliates with a forearm upside Tabu’s head sending the man from Bombay back a step.

BS: Both men feeling each other out here in the early going.

GM: Don’t you mean feeling up?

BS: Obviously not!

GM: Oh that’s right. Aho and McCave did that before the event.

BS: You know she’s…

GM: …Going to kill me? I know and I don’t care.

The two lock horns again and Tabu whips Aho into the ropes. Tabu rebounds off the opposite side and Aho nails him with a dropkick to his knees. Tabu sprawls on the mat and Evan is quick to pounce on the opportunity by applying a half crab. Tabu gets to the ropes in a hurry to break the hold.

GM: Aho has taken advantage of Tabu early. I hope this doesn’t set the tone for the rest of the evening.

BS: Just what are you insinuating?

Tabu pops up and Aho gives him some space. The two circle the ring.

BS: Hey Eddy, any idea what type of therapy Saul had performed on Tabu? The guy just isn’t the same wrestler; I can’t see how you can do a complete 180 in your style.

EL: Well SSN only hires the greatest medical professionals, no matter what the ailment. Tabu needed some work on his head and it looks like the therapy has paid off. He is the King of Refinement!

BS: We heard rumors of some type of brainwashing session.

EL: Nonsense! Who would think up such a ridiculous statement? It was probably Erik Zima.

Aho grabs hold of Tabu and sends him into the ropes; Tabu reverses it and sends Aho across the ring. Aho bounces off and Tabu connects with a spinning heel kick. Evan gets up and Tabu sends him right back down him with a double axe-handle to the back and continues to clubber him. He picks Aho up and throws him to the mat with a snap suplex. Tabu hoists him on his shoulder and runs into the corner slamming Aho’s back into the turnbuckle. Tabu drops Evan to the mat and tries a quick cover.

GM: One…two… not even close. Aho kicks out with authority.

Both men get to their feet and begin to slug it out. Tabu throws a punch and Aho blocks it and dazes Tabu with an elbow to the chops. He grabs a groggy Tabu and whips him into the ropes, Tabu rebounds off and Evan connects with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Aho applies a waist lock and throws a German suplex, but Tabu does a back flip out of the release and hip tosses a surprised Aho to the mat. Aho is quick to his feet and rushes at Tabu. Tabu slides down and executes a drop toehold. Aho gets back up and charges again but Tabu counters with a Japanese arm drag. Aho shakes off the effect and starts to regain his feet but Tabu runs up and nails him with a knee lift putting Evan back on the canvas. Tabu stomps at Aho’s midsection a few times and then does a high leg drop across Evan’s throat.

BS: Both Tabu and Evan Aho have controlled this bout at different points in the match but the match has been back and forth from the on-set. There is no telling who will come away with the Extreme World Title.

EL: Brett, have you not been listening to me the past few weeks? The Extreme World title is coming home to SSN…period.

Tabu climbs up to the top rope while Aho lies prone on the mat. He goes for the 450 splash, but Aho gets his knees up and Tabu gets nailed in the ribs.

EL: He feeds off of pain, this won’t faze him. Aho doesn’t have a prayer.

BS: With all the changes in Tabu, do you think his threshold of pain is altered too? He is holding his ribs right now. I am not certain, just a guess.

GM: We’ve seen him get pretty messed up in the past, but he just doesn’t care about the pain. He enjoys it! Aho, he never gives up…the guy just keeps coming.

BS: Tabu could probably nail him with a bus and Aho would grab his own dismembered arm and beat Tabu with it.

EL: Now that wouldn’t be *wrestling*, would it Brett?

Tabu stands up and Aho sneaks up behind him with a waist lock. Aho throws the German suplex into a bridge this time.

BS: One…two…no! Tabu gets his shoulder up in time, but that move definitely took its toll on him.

Saul E. Dastardly stands on the ring apron and gets Aho’s attention. Evan glances at Saul for a split second and then re-focuses on Tabu. He grabs Tabu by the hair and sends him across the ring with an Irish whip. Tabu collides back-first into Dastardly sending Saul E. sprawling to the arena floor. Tabu rebounds back to the center of the ring where Evan throws him to the mat with a spinebuster.

EL: Hey, you can’t do that to my manager!

GM: What was Saul thinking, anyway? I don’t think that was an accident!

BS: It looks as if Evan has one less thing to worry about, considering the SSN entourage being down here along the ringside area.

187 walks over to help Saul get to his feet, but he is out cold. He sits him in a chair and grabs a beer from a ringside fan. 187 chugs some of the beer and then tosses it into Saul’s face. Saul regains consciousness and asks 187 what happened. Aho goes for a cover but Tabu kicks out after two counts. Evan whips Tabu into the turnbuckle and follows looking for a clothesline. Tabu shows his incredible balance and walks up the ropes to back flip over the charging champion. Aho hits the turnbuckle hard chest-first. Tabu spins Aho around in the corner and executes a monkey flip, sending Aho floating to the other side of the ring. Tabu quickly springs to the top rope and flies off with a diving headbutt that finds the mark. He hooks the leg.

GM: One…two…no! Aho just barely got out of that! We could have seen a new champion crowned.

BS: Tabu has modified his style quite a bit in the last two shows we’ve had. Battling Hellfighter and Evan Aho, both well schooled mat wrestlers, Tabu has taken each to the limit seemingly out of his more comfortable style of hardcore wrestling.

Tabu lifts Aho to his feet and nails him with a picture perfect standing dropkick. Tabu continues with his assault and throws Evan to the canvas with a T-bone suplex.

BS: He just dumped the champ on his head!

Tabu picks Evan up yet again and tucks the champ’s head under and delivers a piledriver on Aho. He goes for the cover.

GM: One…two…three! NO! I could have sworn he had him!

BS: Evan must be going on instinct because he’s lying limply in the ring right now. Popping his shoulder off the mat there was nothing more than a reflex.

EL: You mean like the gag reflex Vicky was telling me about?

BS: Oh stop it!

Tabu jumps to the second rope. He hooks in a headlock for what looks to be a tornado DDT. Tabu jumps off and spins but Aho gets his feet underneath Tabu and halts the move. Evan locks his hands and attempts a release Northern Lights suplex, Tabu flips fully and lands on his feet! Tabu tries a spinning heel kick, Aho ducks. Aho attempts a leg sweep, Tabu leaps over it and comes down dropping a leg across the back of Evan’s head!

BS: Good God what a series by these two! Evan was driven face first into the mat after attempting that sweep. Great presence of mind by Tabu!

EL: As I’ve said before, SSN has changed this man. Once not in his right mind, now he’s thinking like a champion!

Tabu flips Evan onto his back and ascends the turnbuckle while the champ lies on the mat completely dazed. Tabu with his back to the mat leaps high off the turnbuckle into a high-altitude moonsault. Tabu crashes down onto Aho’s chest straight into a cover.

GM: One…two…God, no! How the hell did he kick out of that?

BS: I have no clue! Tabu can’t even believe it!

EL: Who the heck is this ref? Did Zima hire him? I don’t see an SSN patch on his stripes.

BS: Tabu looks frustrated. Aho looks damn near dead.

Tabu scrapes Evan off the canvas and sends him into the ropes. Tabu for a dropkick, but Aho grabs hold of the ropes and Tabu lands hard on the mat. Tabu shakes it off and decks Evan with a right hand. Tabu hooks the head and goes for a suplex but Aho twists out of it at the top of the move and drives the back of Tabu’s skull off the mat with a diving inverted DDT.

BS: What a maneuver! Aho seems to have been playing possum; he’s still got some fight left!

Evan drags himself from the mat and Tabu gets up slowly under his own power. They go toe-to-toe. Aho with a right hand, Tabu fires back. Aho gets knocked back a step and Tabu sends him to the ropes. Aho rebounds off and tries a clothesline. Tabu ducks under Aho’s arm, hooks it crucifix-style and floats over for a DDT. Aho catches Tabu and blocks the DDT kneeing Tabu in the ribs to back him off. Aho with a boot to Tabu’s stomach. Tabu doubles over and Evan hoists him up for a powerbomb, but Tabu keeps rolling with it and lands on his feet before Aho can throw him to the mat. Tabu tries an outside crescent kick, Aho ducks it. Aho with a back sweep, Tabu jumps over the move and tries for a leg drop again but Aho rolls backwards out of the way. Tabu hits the mat hard but pops up.

GM: Where does it end?!?

Aho with a waist lock from behind on Tabu. Tabu grabs a wrist and reverses the hold. Tabu leaps onto Aho’s shoulders for a victory roll. Evan pushes him off in front of him. Aho with a rear waist lock.

BS: Backdrop driver!

Evan drives Tabu’s head and shoulders to the canvas with a thunderous backdrop driver. Aho bridges on the tips of his toes and the ref is in perfect position to make the count.

BS: One…two…three! Tabu has kicked out of the move but not before the ref could reach the magic number. What a show these two have put on.

GM: I can’t believe it. This is ri-goddamn-diculous.

EL: I knew it. Never send a reformed psychopath to do a man’s job.

Winner: Evan Aho - (Retains EWI Extreme World Title)


Tabu clutches the back of his neck with one hand while Aho is getting slowly to his feet and tries to catch his breath. The referee hands the Extreme World Title to Evan and raises his hand. The crowd is on their applauding the two fine athletes. Evan Aho begins to leave the ring but glances back at Tabu holding his neck and shaking his head in frustration. Aho turns around and helps Tabu to his feet. In a rare moment, Evan extends his hand to Tabu. Tabu hesitates a moment and shakes his hand. The crowd cheers with approval and a couple isolated “Tabu” chants break out in the audience. Aho drops his hand and begins to head out of the ring, stopping at the turnbuckle to catch his breath. Saul is pounding on the ring apron. He walks up the steps and 187 follows him.

EL: What is Tabu thinking? He just had a 5-star performance out there and he just shook the hand of that punk, Evan Achoo. I’ve got a serious problem with this.

BS: Eddy, where are you going? Folks Eddy Love has left the broadcasting booth.

Love leaves the booth, grabs a steel chair at ringside, and slides into the ring. Aho is in the corner facing the crowd, collecting himself. 187 comes from behind with a double axe-handle and stuns the champ. 187 then grabs Aho by the throat and nails him with a choke slam. Saul has a microphone in his hand.

SED: Tabu, what the hell did you think you were doing out here? I sent you in there to rip Aho a new A-hole and you wind up shaking his hand?!?

Saul begins to poke Tabu in the chest with each word he says. Eddy is standing behind Tabu, which he is unaware of.

SED: Well pal, you just made the biggest mistake of your career!

On the last word Saul says, Tabu grabs Saul’s finger. Dastardly is stunned that the “reformed” Tabu would react to this. Tabu tugs on the finger and snaps it. Saul starts shaking his hand trying to block the pain. Eddy sneaks up from behind and nails Tabu with the chair. 187 then joins in the beat down and they really do a number on Tabu. 187 picks him up and choke slams him once, then lifts him back up and does it again. Love puts the boots to Tabu who is lying prone on the mat. Eddy gets on top of Tabu and starts nailing him with rights and lefts. 187 is kicking at Tabu while this is going on. Saul tries to cheer on Love and 187, but the pain from his finger is too much for him to bear.

GM: Treat that ingrate like the dog that he is!

BS: All he did was show a sign of good sportsmanship and he gets beat down for it?

GM: It’s SSN versus EWI…you can’t make friends with the enemy, which is a big no-no.

BS: It looks like Aho is coming around.

Saul looks to have somewhat healed from his injury and tells Love that he wants to smack him around. Love obliges and Saul slaps Tabu with his good hand. Aho is to his feet and Eddy Love is the first to spot him. “Hurricane” Eddy makes no issue out of the matter and dives quickly out of the ring heading for the back. 187 turns around in surprise to find Aho up and takes a swing. Evan ducks it and chucks 187 to the mat with a release belly-to-belly suplex. He then walks over to Saul and shoves him off of Tabu. Saul looks horrified as Aho backs him into a corner. Tabu regains his senses and gets to his feet. Aho notices and steps out of Tabu’s way. Tabu grabs Dastardly and punishes him with a DDT. Aho hops out of the ring and begins to walk up the ramp. 187 is up suddenly goes after Tabu, but Tabu slugs away at the big man with some heavy blows. 187 goes down hard. Tabu goes up to the top and calls for Aho to toss him the steel chair. Aho pauses for a second and then to the delight of the crowd, hands a folding chair up to Tabu. The man from Bombay flies from the turnbuckle to smash 187 with the DOA (moonsault with a steel chair). 187 is out cold and the crowd is going ballistic. Tabu catches up to Aho on the ramp and extends his hand. Aho smiles and shakes it and the crowd goes crazy once again. Saul E. Dastardly is now conscious in the ring watching Aho and Tabu with disgust.

BS: Aho retains, but Tabu finally breaks away!

GM: Tabu just signed a death wish if you ask me. {Ending Credits}
