(Cue Up: Huey Lewis "Addicted to Love". Through the curtain strolls Eddy Love. He has the Federation belt over his right shoulder. Love is wearing a muscle T-shirt that reads "Aho, Aho It's off to work I go". Love is sporting his long, feathered, heavily sprayed, golden hair; as a very terse look spreads across his face. Love makes his way down the ramp,talking as he walks.)

The only thing that's generated more excitement than Hurricane Eddy's return to Greensboro for wrestling fans, is the excitement of the area beer distributors upon Kevin Powers return.

(pauses, slight smile, but not his usual wide toothy grin as he enters the ring)

Greensboro, Nooooorth Carrrrooolyna get to your feet and welcome the return of the Pride of the Carolinas, The Lake Hartwell Heartthrob, The Legend Killer, The Southern Dandy if you will, Super Sports Network Federation Champion non the less.... your favorite as well as mine Hurricane Eddy Love.....

(the crowd erupts in a mixed response, hated around the world, tolerated by many in the Carolinas. Love's smile widens, then subsides to a frown as he begins to talk again.)

Now I would love to come out here and carouse over Boss Gottfried's decision that yours truly will be allowed to dismantle the Extreme World Champion, right there 10 minutes from where my Momma used to wipe Hurricane Eddy's snotty little nose, in Greenville. I want to revel in the fact that Evan's undeserving run as a champion is only days away from it's painful and humiliating end.....(hands on hips as he walks from side to side) I would enjoy painting the town of Greensboro while enjoying my knowledge that from the next card forward the whole world will never again celebrate an EWI Extreme Champion, but will instead from that day forward praise me as Super Sports Network Extreme Heavyweight Champion..... these are all matters that under normal circumstances would make Eddy Love's heart pound through his massive chest with excitement..... but I cannot be enthused knowing the way things have gone and seeing no end in sight to the misjustices that EWI allows.

(Eddy's speaking pace picks up much speed as his excitement grows.)

Since I have returned to SSN, my in ring performances have been exactly what everyone knew they would be.... (pounds the mic into his palm each time he says the name of one of his downed opponents) .....I've dismantled Pat Black, Pounded Schuyler Parker, massacred little Johnny Milner and Subjugated Rod Sampson with my superior skills..... every man in that locker room.... Powers, Canyon, Ash, Sajec the whole damn lot of 'em know if they come up against the Southern Dandy, Eddy Love....(Slows his speech).... they go home undone out outdone.

*BUT* outside the ring I've had doctors remove 13 steel staples from my libidinous skull because Canker's woman didn't like seeing me beat her man into submission..... I've had orthopedic doctors work day and night to rehabilitate my neck because that back jumping coward Rod Sampson was embarrassed at the ease with which I proved my grappling skills to be far superior to his....... and now in the back somewhere, along with countless others who want to make a name by being mentioned in the same breath with Eddy Love, but wouldn't dare enter the ring with this combative machine that you call Federation champion...... stands Camero Cruiser who has already promised to wait until my back is turned and do what he could never do with me facing him. Well I've had enough....

(stomps his foot as his voice takes on a bit of a "child throwing a fit" sound)

I am constantly accused of cheating, ridiculed for being viscous and maligned for taking short cuts, when the truth is I'm a model of sportsmanship, Fair and Square Eddy Love they used to call me in the CSWA. I have never put my personal victories above all of our quest to know who is the better man mono-e-mono, fair and square, face to face. Kin Hiroshi, the Assassins and Johnny Milner are all reputable guys, who I enjoy working with at SSN, but they have their own careers.... they cannot watch my back 24/7. I've had enough and if something cannot be.........

(Love's voice fades into Tabu's music. Cue up: "Hate Me Now" by Nas & Puff Daddy. The top of the ramp features Tabu, 187, and Saul E Dastardly. Love looks terrified. Tabu is being held on by a chain around his neck like a leash by 187 ,as he tries to charge the ring.)

LOVE: Keep him away from me.... This is exactly what I'm talking about, not a single restful moment for the beacon of fair play. Saul, I swear if you unleash that monster on me, I'll see to it that Gottfried never puts you on SSN.....

SED: Hold on Eddy, I'm not here for that. I heard you out here telling everyone how everyone is after you and how you are a marked man. How no one will watch your back. (In a gameshow host like tone.) Well do I have a deal for you! (smiles)

(Saul strolls down to ringside with the mic in hand, continuing to speak to Eddy.)

SED: We might as well let the people in on it, lets stop this little charade, because what better time than NOW and what better place than Eddy Love's Carolinas to reveal to the world the history making event that took place just a few short hours before the show. Let's air the clip, shall we?

(The tape begins to play on the big screen in the arena. It shows Marcus Gottfried and Saul E. Dastardly in a board room signing a contract. They both shake hands and the clip ends.)

SED: What you people just saw was me sign a 1 year contract with SSN to be the new Director of Wrestling Affairs. I sat down with Marcus and we both had the same vision. We both wanted to see wrestling the way it once was, wrestling has just gotten too out of hand…it has gotten too extreme! (The fans boo at Saul's remark.) You may not understand why I am doing the things I do, but when Tabu escaped me and bit that fan's ear off it was a blessing in disguise, and SSN saw the potential. He was forced by the State of California to undergo treatment for his violent behavior and Mr. Gottfried knew just the man for me to contact. Ladies and gentlemen, the man on that ramp isn't the monster he once was, he is rehabilitated, and he is ready to be a productive member of society!

(187 releases the chain around Tabu's neck and Tabu takes off the chain. He stands calmly beside 187 and doesn't fly off the handle like he normally does.)

SED: You ever heard of the expression kill two birds with one stone? Well I did just that. I not only took what EWI stood for (Points at Tabu.) the extreme no holds barred style. I made it to where he will never and EWI will not ever be the same again!

(The fans boo and Saul steps onto the apron and enters the ring. He walks near Eddy and continues to speak.)

SED: The reason I came out here is because you need someone to watch your back, and Eddy…I have the means to make it possible. (Points to Tabu and 187 at the top of the rampway.) Not to mention being the official SSN Director of Wrestling Affairs, I think it only makes sense for this to happen. Eddy, I have watched your career blossom I know your star power and I think you and I together can take it to even greater heights.

(Eddy puts his hand on his chin, thoughtfully while pondering his decision)

LOVE: So you want to help me to make my business decisions?

(Saul shakes his head yes, as Love looks aprehensive.)

LOVE: ...and you want these two men to watch my back?

(Saul shakes his head yes.)

LOVE: Well hot damn, THIS MUST BE CHRISTMAS how else could I explain why Santa Gottfried would deliver not only the best mind in the business to my side in you Saul, but also send me these two warriors to watch Hurricane Eddy's back.(points up the ramp.) Now that was so generous, and everybody in Greensboro knows that Eddy Love is a give, give, give and never take kinda guy.... I will give you three something. Saul you and eighteen-seven will accompany the challenger to the ring in Greenville against Evan Achoo....

SAUL: Bless you

LOVE: But I will not be that challenger.... out of gratitude for your generous gesture I award my earned title shot to the new King of Refinement…TABU.

(The crowd gives a mixed reaction to the announcement. Saul has a huge smile on his face and is very pleased with the announcement. He shakes Eddy's hand and then raises it and begins pointing at him mouthing that "Eddy is the man.")

SED: Eddy, I think your offer is more than gracious and I know that Tabu is going to represent SSN to the fullest and spread the word that the extreme crap has got to go! After Tabu beats Hellfighter tonight (Fans boo.), it's off to Greenville for the World championship match….the SSN World championship! Evan Aho, you might be familiar with Tabu from seeing his past matches, but the man has changed and it's a whole new ballgame for you to try and figure out. (laughs) In Greenville you can kiss that title goodbye because it's coming home to the network….SSN! Eddy, I can't thank you enough. Dreams really do come true. (Wipes a nonexistent tear from his eye and then puts his game face back on.) EWI get ready for the SSN invasion because with me on their side…NO ONE IS SAFE! (Laughs maniacally.)

(Cue Up: Huey Lewis "Addicted to Love", Saul and Eddy exit the ring and meet up with 187 and Tabu on the ramp. Saul raises a fist in the air and then points to his new regime.)

BS: You've got to be kidding! Saul is the SSN Director of Wrestling Affairs?

GM: Hey this is great! SSN can use someone like him. You know Brett it just doesn't look good for Mr. Zieba ... LIKE I CARE!!

BS: Well as soon as you settle yourself down we still have some more matches to call.

GM: Well then fire away cause I'm in a good mood.

BS: Alright we have Simply Stunning putting the EWI Tag Belts on the line against the duo of Gemini and Cancer.

GM: THAT match is next? Gemini is a physco ... both of'em and so is Cancer! How did this match .. Zieba. See this is what I'm talking about. Zieba is way out of control to sign a match like this.

BS: Well it doesn't matter cause we're about to start this up right now.

GM: You're enjoying this aren't you?

BS: Pretty much.


For the EWI Tag Team Titles

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 : Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson

Gemini appears at the ramp leading down to the ring. He's fully in costume and character (Characters?) right now. His bizarre white and black hairstyle, the tragedy mask makeup, the black and white tights and one black and one white boot. One terrifying aspect of his personality is blatantly obvious, as Gemini wears a grin from ear to ear, obviously loving every single thing that has happened tonight, especially the things that he has done to Cancer.

Gemini strides down to ringside, grabs the ring microphone from the ring announcer and enters the ring. He stands in the center of the ring, and holds his arms out from his sides, acknowledging the torrent of boos and cheers from the crowd. After basking in the crowds response for a second, Gemini raises the mike to his lips and begins to speak.

G: It is our... understanding... that our tag team partner would like to talk to us. Well, Cancer, we are never very hard to find. We have a very original hairstyle, we wear very strange clothing, we refer to ourself in plural. We have recently aquired a very HOT valet with a funky green mohawk. Cancer... if you are done redecorating the locker room, here we are.

Cue Up: - Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana

Cancer appears at the top of the ramp. He looks really, really, REALLY pissed. He's still bloody, and carrying a chair.

C: (Seething as he says this.) Gemini, you are the stupidest punk I have ever met. On the eve of our first title shot ever, something you.... AND I MEAN JUST 'YOU' ... have been whining about for months, you pull this. Has your stupid schizo brain taken too many chair shots? Have you been on the wrong end of too many piledrivers? How stupid are you?

C: You have exactly two seconds to tell me where the hell Jade is, or Cancer is about to go TERMINAL on your sick little ass.

G: You want to know where your little ring bunny is? Look up Cancer, look way, way up and pay attention.

The EWI extremescreen flickers to life, and a image of Jade appears on it. She has been duct taped into a chair from head to toe. A piece of duct tape covers her mouth and she is either screaming or swearing at the mime that is standing beside her. The mime starts prancing around Jade making exagerated mimish movements. He runs around Jade twice, then stops behind her for a second. He reappears a moment later... holding a gas can.

C: Gemini...

G: Shut up and watch Cancer! Just shut up and watch!

The mime starts to dump the gasoline over Jade, covering her from head to toe, Jade thrashes back and forth frantically, trying to scream something, but the duct tape covers her mouth prevents her from being comprehended. The mime empties out the can on Jade, then fishes around in his pocket and produces a box of matches, the mime lights one, waves it over the thrashing, immobilized Jade, then blows it out. Just as suddenly, the screen goes black, and Gemini starts to talk again.

G: Why Cancer, you're so quiet! We thought you were going rip our lungs out! We thought that we were going to be dead men! Isn't that what you said?

G: Here it is tumor boy, the only thing that we are guaranteed to be tonight is one half of the new tag team champions, and you are going to ensure that. If anything else other than that happens tonight, Your valet will be the hottest chick in the building. Did you get that Cancer? Did you hear us?

Cancer slowly shakes his head and stares at Gemini. His fists slowly clench and unclench, and he stares at his tag team partner.

C: Yes, I heard you.

G: That's good PARTNER! We are so glad you have such a clear understanding. But we want you to be completely sure you understand the deal. Either we walk out of here with the Tag-Team belts, or Jade becomes a crispy critter!

C: I heard you the first time two face!

G: That's good. Now get your ass down to the ring and help us beat down a pair of limeys, we got some belts to win! Because Tonight, we WILL be the next Tag champs. And if that hacks you off Cancer... THEN TRY THE FREAKIN PATCH! (Gemini yanks up his sleeve and displays the nicotine patch he wears ever since Cancer injected him with Cancer's own blood.) It's done WONDERS for us.

Wilcox and Cancer start things off. Cancer nails the champion in the head with a stiff right and then whips him into a short arm clothesline, knocking Wilcox down. Wilcox quickly gets up and ducks a second cloetheline attempt and bounds off the ropes with a flying shoulder block of his own. Cancer gets up and is met with a standing side kick from Wilcox. Wilcox moves to his corner and tags in Hardy. As Cancer turns around he is met with a dropkick from Hardy. Hardy pulls Cancer up by the hair but Cancer battles back with numerous lefts and rights and works Hardy into a corner. He attempts to whip Hardy into the opposing turnbuckle, but Hardy reverses it and sends Cancer into the turnbuckle himself. However, Hardy attempts to follow up the Irish whip with a clotheline, but Cancer lifts his leg just in time to nail Hardy right in the face with his boot, sending Hardy flying backwards onto the canvas. Cancer tags in Gemini.

GM: Here they come.

BS: Oh shush!

Gemini brutally clothelines the recovering Hardy, sending him back down on to his back. Gemini picks Hardy up and suplexes him roughly. As the ref is distracted with Simon Wilcox, who is trying to rush in to help his partner, Cancer jumps in and he and Gemini then begin to stomp on their fallen opponent. Gemini then tags Cancer back in. Cancer whips Hardy into the ropes, but Hardy catches the ropes and nails the surprised Cancer with a desperate flying clotheline. Hardy quickly moves to tag in Wilcox. Wilcox comes in and begins cleaning house. He pummels Cancer with a series of punches and ends it by whipping Cancer in to the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a perfect belly to belly suplex. Cancer gets up and is met with a DDT from Wilcox. Wilcox, continuing his momentum, runs into the ropes as Cancer gets to his feet, but Gemini has pulled down the rope and Wilcox crumbles to the outside. Gemini jumps off of the ring apron and picks Wilcox up and whips him into the stairs. The ref is attempting to get Gemini off of him and doesn't see Hardy try to dart across the ring. He doesn't make it, however, as he is met with a big suplex from Cancer. The ref turns around at the commotion and as his back is turned, Gemini wallops Wilcox with a chair on the outside. He then rolls Wilcox back into the ring. By now, the ref has got Hardy to get back on the apron and Cancer, seeing Wilcox laying in the ring goes for the cover. One, two, kickout!

BS: Close call for the Tag Champs.

Wilcox is pulled up by Cancer who tags in Gemini. Cancer holds Wilcox still as Gemini punches him in the gut with all his might. Cancer moves to the outside and Gemini continues his punishment on Wilcox with a reverse DDT. Cancer, on the outside, has aquired a steel chair and weilds it on the ring apron, waiting for his opponent. Gemini attempts to whip Wilcox into the ropes, but it is reversed and Gemini is sent straight into the waiting chair that Cancer holds. Cancer, with a bit of shock on his face, mixed with a bit of pleasure, looks on as Wilcox finally gets to his own partner.

BS: A bit of a miscommunication between partners there allowed Simply Stunning the advantage that they needed.

GM: Miscommunication? When are Gemini and Cancer NOT in miscommunication?

Hardy comes in and picks Gemini up. Fishermen suplex by Hardy followed by a pin. One, kickout! Wilcox comes in as Gemini gets up and Simply Stunning nails him with a double dropkick. Double whip into the ropes followed by a double vertical suplex. Cancer tries to get in, but is met with an elbow from Hardy, knocking the former world champ to the concrete. Hardy turns around and Wilcox whips Gemini towards him and Hardy catches Gemini with a drop toe hold. Somersault legdrop by Wilcox. Instead of covering, he pulls Gemini up and they nail Gemini with a double back drop. Hardy picks Gemini up and whips him into the ropes. Tilt-a-whirl slam by Hardy. Wilcox is on the top turnbuckle.

BS: This looks like it! Yes! It is! Quite Simply Aweso-- NO! Cancer has pulled Wilcox's legs from under him and Wilcox has crotched the top turnbukle!

As Wilcox writhes in pain, Cancer picks him up and suplexes him from the top turnbuckle. Hardy runs towards Cancer, but is stopped short by Gemini who trips him up and then quickly puts him in the Torquemada half crab clawhold. Cancer knocks Wilcox to the outside and somehow convinces Gemini to release Hardy. Cancer picks Hardy up and sets him up for his cradle piledriver finisher.

BS: The Malignancy! Cancer hits the Malignancy!

Gemini, being the legal man, moves to cover Hardy. One, two, three!

Winners: Gemini and Cancer (NEW EWI Tag Team Champions)


BS: Oh my! Gemini and Cancer have done it! They are the NEW EWI Tag Team Champions!

Simply Stunning leaves the ring in shock and Gemini and Cancer are given the titles by the ref when the arena goes pitch black.

GM: Okay who didn't pay the electric bill?!

Welcome To The Jungle kicks up but the lights continue to stay out.

BS: Commando is here for payback on Gemini!

GM: Yeah but where the hell is he?

BS: Well Gary if--

*KABOOM!*

BS: Oh my GOD! Folks there has just been a large explosion in the center of the ring, but the lights are still out and we can't see a damn thing!

(Welcome To The Jungle stops playing as the lights turn back on.)

GM: CARNAGE has just been left in the ring, it looks like everybody got a little something from the explosion but Gemini appears to have gotten the brunt of it as he is a bloody mess laying in the ring.

BS: Medical attention is now being delivered to Gemini as he is being taken away, leaving his partner Cancer alone in the ring.

GM: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a camera following Gemini to the ambulance. Let's cut to the back.

(Cut to a shot of Gemini, on a stretcher being put inside of an ambulance.)

Paramedic 1: We gotta get him to a hospital STAT!

Paramedic 2: The degree of burns on him are too great and traffic is too bad in the city for the ambulance, we gotta airlift him out of here to University Hospital!

(Gemini who is barely conscious is loaded onto a medivac helicopter awaiting him in the parking lot, and is quickly takes off from the arena. Cut to a shot of the inside of the helicopter, obviously from some sort of record keeping camera.)

Pilot: ETA to hospital 60 seconds.

(The medivac helicopter lands on top of UNC Greensboro Hospital. Both paramedics quickly get out of the helicopter to make room for the hospital staff to take over.)

Emergency Doctor: Okay let's get the patient in the ER NOW!

Pilot: Oh I don't think any medical attention will be necessary.

(Before the staff can reach the helicopter, it quickly takes off again.)

Pilot: Sorry Gemini just a slight detour.

Gemini (barely conscious and restrained by the stretcher): Wha... what the hell are you doing...?

Pilot: You know Gemini, you were right about one thing, PAYBACKS ARE A BITCH!

(The pilot reveals himself to be Commando.)

Gemini: (in a weak but angry voice) Tasker you son of bitch!....

AT: Oh no "Commandork" this time, but lookie here now we're passing over Buffalo Lake.

(The Medivac Helicopter now hovers of Buffalo Lake as Commando slides the door open.)

AT: I guess now this makes you Aquarius now, now doesn't it?

Gemini: What? Oh s*** you wouldn't...

AT: Yeah, I guess you're right. With us sitting here hovering about a hundred feet off the ground, right over Buffalo Lake, it might kill you if I push you out, I guess that would be going a little far. I'm not totally heartless. Let me turn this sucker around and I'll take you to the hospital.

(SUDDENLY the scene cuts to a view looking over Buffalo Lake, the helicopter makes its turn but it is such a sharp turn that the helicopter turns on its side, and something unidentified falls from the helicopter and lands in the lake with a loud smack, as the helicopter flies off.)

AT: Bet that sure scared ya Gemini... Gemini? You still back there? Uh oh... That's what happens Gemini, when you leave the side door open like that.

(Cut back to a shot of Bret Sanders and Gery MacFarland.)

BS: Oh... oh my God. Gary, Gemini, he...

GM: That's just not right.

BS: Folks, we'll have an update on this situation as it pans out, but right now we have to cut to a commercial. When we return we'll have Tabu taking on Hellfighter next.


BS: Welcome back everyone. Well here is that match alot of folks have been talking about and with what we saw earlier tonight...is Tabu healed? Is he truly not the animal he once was?

GM: Well we saw him earlier and he was acting normal. All last week we saw the vignettes from his therapy sessions...maybe it did work.

BS: Well here he comes now.

(CUEUP: "Hate Me Now" by Nas & Puff Daddy. Saul E. Dastardly begins to strut down the ramp, followed by 187 and the new and improved Tabu. He looks different from when he was out here earlier. His old wrestling gear is gone. He is wearing a pair of long black tights with SSN down each leg and his name on the back. He is wearing white boots and white elbow pads. His hair is pulled back into a ponytail and he is cleanly shaven. He looks on with a scowl and walks down to the ring.)

BS: I think Hellfighter was expecting the old Tabu, not this version!

GM: I think that therapy was a flat out BRAINWASH! The guy was running rampant and nothing or no one could control him, and now he is calm and collected. I just don't get it.

BS: Saul is now directing 187 to go to the back.

GM: Oh great...Saul is coming over here now. He's grabbing the microphone on the table.

SED: Hey Shultz, I told you that Tabu was gonna wrestle your kind of match...and I meant every word! The words extreme do not exist in this mans vocabulary anymore. You probably spent hours reviewing videos trying to get a hardcore edge, too bad none of that hard work is going to pay off. (laughs) I sent 187 to the back and all I am going to do is have a seat here at the broadcasting booth and make sure you are on the up and up and keep your tramp ass girlfriend out of this match. Now get your ass out here!


Hellfighter vs Tabu

7' 0", 300lbs | 6'2", 240lbs

Kansas City, Missouri | Bombay, India

"Make You Wanna ... " - Alexia | "Hate Me Now" by Nas & Puff Daddy


"Revolution" by Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation Project begins to play as Hellfighter walks out to a well-received pop from the crowd. He runs to the ring and climbs in over the top rope. Tabu rushes him and unleashes a spinning heel kick that staggers the big man.

GM: These two are ready for war!

BS: But...who's gonna win this one? That's question.

Tabu connects with another spinning heel kick that this time manages to take Hellfighter down. He then proceeds to drive a series of right hands to Hellfighter's temple before the referee finally pulls him off. Tabu shoves the referee away and then drops a leg across Hellfighter's face. Tabu pulls his opponent to his feet and then throws him outside the ring. He goes to the ropes for a running start.

BS: Hellfighter better watch out.

Tabu leaps up over the top rope, connecting with a tope.

GM: Too late.

Both men lie on the ground for several moments, but to the crowd's delight it is Hellfighter who stands up first. He grabs Tabu and rolls him back into the ring, following close behind. Tabu rolls across the ring and then comes to his feet, only to be caught by Hellfighter with a spear. Tabu clutches his ribs but Hellfighter takes no notice and splashes his adversary.

BS: Tabu's ribs could very well be broken, Gary Mac. That's going to be just another disadvantage for him to overcome if he hopes to defeat Hellfighter.

GM: Knowing Tabu, he'll feed off the pain and get more violent.

Hellfighter pulls Tabu up and executes a high-impact belly-to-belly suplex and goes for the cover. One...two...Tabu rolls a shoulder up off the mat. Hellfighter grabs Tabu up and powerslams him to the canvas again, but the referee again only counts to two before Tabu is able to kick out. Hellfighter picks him up and delivers another powerslam but this time does not go for the cover. He instead walks across the ring and waits in anticipation.

BS: I don't know if what Hellfighter is doing is the smart thing. I would have gone for the cover after that second powerslam. Tabu's ribs are obviously hurting him. He can't take much more.

GM: Hey, if Hellfighter's too dumb to take a victory, let him suffer.

Tabu rolls to the ropes and pulls himself to his feet. Hellfighter start barreling across the ring and just as he goes to spear Tabu, but Tabu side-steps the move and Hellfighter's head goes through the ropes and hits the ringpost.. Hellfighter goes down in a heap. Tabu heads up top. He leaps off and connects with a legdrop across Hellfighter's head and neck.

BS: Oh my! Just like that, Tabu is back on the offensive and Hellfighter is in serious trouble!

GM: I told ya.

Tabu goes for the pin but Hellfighter is able to kick out just before the referee hits three. Tabu pulls him to a nearby corner and then leaps up for a split-legged moonsault. He does not go for the cover however, but instead pulls Hellfighter up and brings him to the center of the ring. He drops him with a DDT and then locks on a camel clutch.

BS: Tabu with a submission hold here. I think this is a first!

GM: We're definitely seeing a new style from Tabu, and it's working for him so far.

Hellfighter fights to get to the ropes but Tabu is steadfast. Finally Hellfighter is able to break the hold by standing up with Tabu on his back. He falls backward and lands on top of Tabu. Hellfighter gets to his feet and drags Tabu up by his hair. He then executes a spinning wristlock and backs into the corner. He climbs up on the top rope and walks the rope as the crowd pops huge. Hellfighter then leaps off with a clubbing forearm to the back of Tabu's neck.

BS: Hellfighter has managed to regain control. Both men look the worse for the wear though. I don't see this match going much longer at all.

Hellfighter pulls Tabu up and then locks him into the pumphandle position. The crowd comes to their feet as he pulls Tabu up for the T-Bar Drop but Tabu escapes the move and catches Hellfighter from behind with an Arabian legsweep. He wastes no time in heading up to the top rope and connecting connecting with his DOA moonsault onto the prone Hellfighter. The referee counts: one...two...three.

Winner: Tabu


GM: He did it! Whooo!

BS: Tabu picks up a win over Hellfighter, and give credit to Tabu's new style. I think he completely caught Hellfighter off of his game.

GM: Eh, he's not the first. I have to admit, I like the new Tabu!

BS: He's definitely more focused than ever before. Moving right along ....

GM: Who's next after the break?

BS: What break? We're not going to break this time.

GM: What no break? But I ordered a pizza and it should be here soon.

BS: AGAIN with the mellow dramatics!

GM: Seriously I am hungry. How about covering for me until I return with a slice or ....

BS: Sit your butt back down so we can call this match.

GM: No Pizza for you!

BS: Anyway up next we have a grude match with Steele taking on Ash.

GM: Friends in the HoA Steele thougth the others were getting soft so he cut the line and seperated himself, but Ash is as tough as they come so it can go either way.

BS: Folks let's go to the ring for our next exciting match.

GM: Just one slice.

BS: NO!

GM: Damn.


Cole Steele vs Ash

6' 2", 232lbs | 6'10", 307lbs

Cleveland, Ohio | Detroit, MI

"More Human than Human" - White Zombie | "Break Stuff" - Limp Bizkit


BS: Two contrasting styles in the ring right now. Cole Steele's finesses wrestling and the power grappling of Ash.

GM: Two contrasting lifestyles as well. The cigarette smoking, foul-mouthed Ash and the peerless role model in Cole Steele.

BS: You never quit do you?

Ash and Steele circle the ring and then meet with a collar and elbow tie-up. Cole Steele ducks locks the wrist of Ash and applies a hammerlock.

BS: Ash counters with an elbow to the mug of Cole Steele. Ash with a scoop and a slam.

Cole is to his feet quickly, but Ash sends him to the ropes and lays him right back on the mat with a clothesline. Steele wisely slides out of the ring.

BS: Cole to the outside; looks like Ash is going to follow. Triple X is off and running around the ring with Ash in hot pursuit!

Cole slides into the ring and immediately runs off the ropes. Ash enters the ring in chase and is met with a running drop kick to the knee.

BS: Good strategy by Cole Steele to take the nearly seven foot tall Ash off his feet. Triple X trying to...

GM: We know, we know. Eliminate the vertical base. How cliché.

Ash falls to the mat holding his knee. Cole is quick to pick him up and throw a dragonscrew leg whip on the injured joint of Ash. Cole drops an elbow on Ash's knee and then picks him up and forces him into the turnbuckle.

BS: Cole Steele with a hard kick to that right knee of Ash. Ash is down leaning against the turnbuckle; Cole backs up across the ring...

GM: Looks like we could be seeing the Bronco Buster, Cole runs and jumps but Ash moves just in time!

Steele lands gingerly on the turnbuckle and falls flat on his back as Ash struggles to his feet. Cole gets up and takes a wild swing at Ash, but Ash ducks and throws Cole across the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex.

BS: Unbelievable strength by Ash! He's getting up slowly, but he has his sites set on "Triple X" Cole Steele. Ash with an elbow upside the head of Steele.

GM: Cole Steele is sent to the ropes, Ash with a powerslam! Cover and count...one...two...no dice.

Ash grabs Steele by the hair, but Cole nails him with a low blow. Steele hits a face buster and heads to the top rope.

BS: Ash is down and out! Cole Steele from way up top...frog splash! He goes for the pin...one...two...Ash kicks out!

GM: Cole is backing up to a corner, Ash is groggy but to his feet.

Cole Steele comes flying in with a sidekick, Ash blocks it and grabs a hold of Cole's foot. Cole tries an enzuguri, Ash ducks and Cole lands on the mat. Ash picks Steele up into a rear wasistlock.

BS: Release German suplex! NO! Steele flips out of it! Steele tries the sidekick again, Ash ducks. Ash with a sidekick of his own, Steele catches it...low blow by Cole Steele!

GM: No one saw that!

BS: Well the ref didn't but the crowd on hand sure did! Cole has a hold of Ash's leg and drags him to the mat once again wrenching that injured knee!

Steele lays Ash out and once again goes to the top rope. He tries a flying headbutt, but Ash moves out of the way. Cole is dazed.

BS: Both men up slowly...Cole tries a standing huricanrana but Ash counters with a powerbomb. Ash with a second wind.

GM: Look out Cole...oh no! DDT from Ash!

Cole hits the canvas and Ice wisely pulls him to the outside. Ash is standing a little stiffly on his right knee, but on his feet nonetheless with fire in his eyes. All of a sudden, the arena lights go out.

BS: What the hell is going on? We've lost our lights! Steele and Ash are left in the dark!

GM: Greensboro... Is it any wonder why we don't usually tour to this dive?

BS: Somehow I don't think this is not a technical difficulty.

As the lights come on Malign is standing in the middle of the ring. The crowd pops and Ash wheels around to face Malign. A stare down ensues...Cole Steele is slowly coming to on the outside.

BS: It looks like we're not going to have to wait any longer for these two to throw down!

GM: Yeah! I hope they beat each other senseless! That would...crap.

The lights go out again. After a second or two of complete darkness, the arena brightens again. Ash is in the ring, but Malign is now on the entrance ramp.

GM: I knew we wouldn't get that lucky.

BS: Looks like Ash is going to have to wait for Malign. Wait a second! Cole Steele sneaks up behind Ash and grounds him with a bulldog! Here's a cover...one...two...Ash kicks out.

GM: Steele almost snuck a win away from Ash with that one. Cole is asking the ref for a more consistent count, c'mon ref, do a role model a favor!

BS: Oh please...

Cole waves dismissively at the ref and picks Ash up off the canvas. He fires a punch but Ash blocks it and staggers Steele with a right hand of his own.

GM: Steele is on rubber legs after that shot. Ash with a hard left! Cole is barely on his feet...Ash backs up to the ropes.

BS: Ice is on the apron and catches him from the outside with a kick to the back of his knee!

Ash limps forward on a damaged knee. Cole Steele snaps to attention, waits on Ash and throws him to the mat with a cradle DDT.

BS: Steele has a hold of Ash's leg...one...two...three! Cole Steele has defeated Ash!

Winner: 'Triple X' Cole Steele


Cole rolls quickly to the outside where Ice raises his hand triumphantly. Ash is shaking his head in frustration in the ring.

GM: Looks like the victory party is going to be cut short! Here comes Brad Striker with Big Tommy T in tow.

BS: Striker blindsides Cole with that Intercontinental Belt and Tommy T begins to hammer away on Ice. Striker throws Cole back into the ring and punishes him with a DDT.

GM: Tommy T has just sent Ice over the guardrail, he's jumping into the ring and picking up...The BradCam?

The camera cuts to a new shot from a black and white home video cam with "BradCam" flashing on the top of the screen and a red recording light in the bottom corner. T hops around the ring filming Brad posing over the fallen Cole Steele.

BS: This is absurd. We'll be right back. When return we'll have The Darkness taking on Jesse Falcon in a Table Match!
