"KITANA IS THE TRUE RULER OF EDENIA!" lots of "AUSTIN 3:16" signs, "RYOKAMI, TRUE CHAMPION OF MORTAL KOMBAT!" and also a few "WHAT?!" signs.

Kari has somewhat of a new look: the blue streaks in her hair are intact, but she seems to have the blonde enhanced a bit, as it is much brighter. Heyman still has his traditional suit-and-Yankees-cap ensemble.

Kari: Welcome everyone, to Wednesday Night Mayhem from the realm of Edenia!! I'm Kari Gibson--

Paul: And I'm Paul "Manager of Champions" Heyman, reminding you to order Wrestlemania XIX LIVE ON PAY--

Kari: Ahem?

Paul: Er--to see my client Kurt Angle defend against my former client Brock Lesnar live on Pay Per View! There are other matches too, like the TWENTY YEARS IN THE MAKING--MMMPH!!

Kari: Enough shilling, Paul. At least shill for EAW. Anyway, we have a great line up in store for tonight, including the main event--Blink vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin!! The American Angels vs. Michael Connelly and Trish Stratus--

KRAAAA-AAAASH!!!!!

(Austin makes his way into the ring, four-post salute, etc. Takes mic. Lots of cheers.) "Ah gotta little story to tell..."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"It ain't a story 'bout a man named Jed..."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Poor mountaineer barely kept 'is family fed..."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"No, this story ain't about him..." He scratches the back of his head as he pauses. "This story is about a girl. Real cute."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Purple hair..."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Petite build..."

(maybe a crack from Heyman about Austin checkin' out Blink)

"A mouth that never stopped flappin'...

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Wings... endless libido... Pretty much one annoyin' lil' girl..." He looks around. (crowd cheers) "One that everybody loved, judgin' by the sounds o' things..." He paces around the ring a little bit. "What happened then?" (crowd boos, knowing what he's talking about) "Ya wanna know what happened?" (boos louder) "Ah SAID do you wanna know what happened?! She was murdered! An' fer what? Because she didn't join a mama's boy in his quest to kill the world? That pisses me off a little bit."

(Crowd) WHAT!

Kari: Lilith of course--who thankfully is back and well, but no thanks to Ryokami.

Paul: And boy am I glad--I don't like to see Morrigan sad...

Kari: Maybe you should stop pestering her, then?

"Ah take that back... it pisses me off a LOT! Ryokami wants to step up his little quest to kill the world, he's gotta a little bit of a problem..." He indicates to the 'Tron, which shows, via interdimensional satellite link, Gouki's Island, and the shrine in his possession. "He has a choice to make..."

Kari: That shrine to Ryokami's mother--a treasured possession of Ryokami...I don't know how wise it is to try to play games like this with Ryokami.

Paul: Simple--NOT AT ALL!

After a moment... "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" cues up, and out walks Ryokami... staring daggers at Austin as he sits cross-legged onto the stage. Accompanying him is Anette, who kneels down behind him, draping her arms around Ryokami and glaring at Austin.

"No-no-no-no-NO!" Austin yells up at him belligerently. "All of 'em out where Ah can see their stinkin' carcasses..."

Kari: The Asylum is like a pack of vicious predators, with unceasing loyalty to Ryokami.

Ryokami silently glares at Austin... then nods softly. Nexus, Stigmata, Grind and Leatherstitch appear. Ryokami looks to his family silently, nodding to them then looks back to Austin.

"Don't be shy," Austin yells up at them. "C'mon down here... Ah got some stuff Ah wanna say to ya..."

Ryokami stares at Austin, then finally stand up and looks to his Asylum... apparently he's telling them to stay at the stage... but is letting Anette come with him as the two head down to the ring.

"No-no-NO!" Austin roars. "ALL OF YA!"

Nexus paces about and growls. Leatherstitch is first to begin walking toward the ring, almost overtaking Ryokami.

Ryokami lowers his head... then sighs, running to the ring and sliding through the bottom rope, standing up and getting into Austin's face. "This is between myself and you, Austin..." he hisses. "... My Asylum has no part in this blackmail operation you have going."

"GOUKI!" Austin yells at the JumboTron. "Did you hear what Ah just heard?" He looks at Ryokami in disbelief. "Ah think he said destroy--"

Kari: Eep!!

Paul: If Ryokami snaps, get to the exits! Women, children, and fat Jewish agents first!

"STOP!" Ryokami shouts... then turns away, going to a corner and hanging his head. Finally he gets a mic of his own and turns back to Austin. "What is this?! If this is about the Hate Configuration... if you want to blackmail me into giving it to you..."

Nexus growls, eying Austin with Stigmata by his side. Anette stands with Ryokami as Leatherstitch is to the side, a look of.. amusement on her face.

"Get in the ring..." Austin orders the rest of Hell's Asylum. "Don't look to him for permission--DO IT."

The remaining members get in.

Ryokami sits back in the corner. "So... you have me at your mercy. You... the Rattlesnake, Stone. Cold. Steve. Austin." Ryokami begins to pace around. "I always knew there would be a chosen one that would find a way to defeat me but I expected it to be Oseiko... or someone from my bloodline. Imagine my surprise when I find it to be YOU." Ryokami cocks his head... then chuckles?

Kari: Laughing?! What does this sicko have planned?!

"... Oh make no mistake... I do find this... fascinating..." he continues. "... now I know how your past enemies all feel... McMahon, the Rock, Triple H... so on, so forth and now me... in a kind of sense I'm almost honored..."

"First of all," Austin growls, "LOOK AT ME... First of all... Ah have a few things Ah wanna get off mah chest before we get down to business."

Kari: Austin turning to Nexus--

"This is from Debra--"

Paul/Kari: STONE COLD STUNNER!!

Kari: And Austin trash talking!

Nexus goes down hard, flipping like a Rock Sell. Stigmata quickly rushes to him, looking up at Austin, angrily.)

Ryokami glares at Austin... clenching his fists as he stares daggers at him.

Austin gets up and smirks in the face of Ryokami, and then faces Anette. "This here is for Mikoto-chan, since Oseiko seems to have forgotten--"

Paul: Stone Cold--STUNNING ANETTE?!?!

"Don't even think about it, Ryokami..." he snaps as he gets back up...

Ryokami almost reacts.. then trembles with anger. All he can do though is help up Anette. "I'm sorry..." he says to her.

She holds her neck, looking to be in pain, but just nods somberly to Ryokami.

Leatherstitch stands to the side. She smirks a bit. "Anything for me, Fool?"

"Do NOT provoke him, my Concubine...!" Ryokami shouts to 'Stitch.

Stone Cold just smirks, and lifts his mic to speak again. "Ah think someone ELSE will do the job for me, when they learn what Ah've learned..." he says to Leatherstitch. "Meantime... Ah think Ah've gotten all that cleared outta mah system... Let's get to what Ah want from YOU..."

Ryokami helps Anette to her feet and looks to Austin. "... You want the Hate Configuration... you want to save the world, is that it?" Ryokami pauses for a moment. "... That IS it. Isn't it? Or is it about Lilith? Hmph..." Ryokami shakes his head. "If you want to give me the Stunner, go right ahead, Austin. I think I deserve it, don't you?" Ryokami paces around, then looks to the crowd. "IF YOU WANT AUSTIN HERE TO GIVE ME THE STUNNER, GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!!"

(Crowd) HELL YEAH!!

Kari: Well, obviously they want it--or much worse.

"WELL, the consensus wins, Austin! So Stun me! Get it over with! And RETURN MY SHRINE!!"

"SHADDUP!" Austin howls to Ryokami. "You'll get yer ass-whoopin' soon enough... It's mah turn to talk!" He looks to Nexus and Anette. "You're so pathetic! Treatin' a collection of rags and paper with more dignity than your own family! It just so happens Ah don't WANT the Hate Configuration."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Ah got no use for it."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Ah don't need it."

(Crowd) WHAT!

"Ah SAID you can keep it..." He looks to the rest of Hell's Asylum, Leatherstitch in particular. "Because if Ah know you lak Ah THINK Ah know you... You won't use it. Yer afraid to. Ah said yer afraid to!" He gets nose-to-nose with Ryokami. "AH SAID YER AFRAID TO!!!! Y'know why? Do you know why? Ah SAID do you... know why...?"

"..." Ryokami glares at Austin, fearing the worst, yet he hides it well. "... why."

The Asylum is silent, waiting to hear why.

"Ah know how it works," Austin said softly. He reaches up as if for a beer, but instead, a book flies at him from the Timekeeper's table. Necromancy and the Art of Cenobite Nation reads the cover as the camera pans on it. "Amazing what you'll find on eBay... 'Chapter 17 - Instruments of Megadeath. We are the way and path of truth--' blah-blah-blah 'purity is attained in the rejection of light and love--' blah-blah-blah '...sacrifice of those people and possessions will ignite the fires of Megadeath, and only by truly renouncing that which you hold the wicked emotion of love for, can the purity of Megadeath be given you...'" He flips through the rest of book, off-hand, and then tosses it to Leatherstitch. "You won't use that Hate Configuration, because you have to kill everything you still love in order to solve it..." Austin defies him.

Stitch doesn't even flinch as chains grab the book and yank it away too quickly to even see where they go.

Ryokami blinks, his eyes wide as he learns of this information... then turns away. "You... lie..." is all he can muster as it sinks in.

"Oh, Ah'm lyin'..." Austin mocks him. "DTA... Don't Trust Austin... But you try and figure out another way to get it to work. In the meantime... Ah might think o' questionin' those that presented it to ya..." He then gets in Ryokami's face again. "Or you might try bein' a REAL MAN... makin' do with the family you HAVE, and start tryin' to do your mother JUSTICE instead shaming her every turn..." He looks at Anette and Grind. Nexus. Stigmata. "Ah'm goin' out on a limb here. Trustin' anybody... even Oseiko... is not easy. But she may be onto somethin'... Instead o' goin' an' murderin' everything in yer path... be a REAL MAN... and take care of FAMILY." He looks at Ryokami again. "Because when Ah can Stunner yer woman and someone you claim to love as a son, and you DO NOTHIN' because of a shrine... That don't say a whole lot for where your priorities are..." With that... Austin nods to the 'Tron again, "You have 6 hours--" he grabs Ryokami's wrist, and drops a homing beacon into the Anti-Savior's open palm "--before Gouki's Island shifts position again." With that, Austin backs out of the ring, keeping a wary eye on the Asylum as he makes his way to the back.

Ryokami stares at the beacon... then looks to Austin. He directs his Asylum to leave the ring with a motion of the arms, then goes to leave himself as quickly as possible.

**Commercial Break**

"Yume Ha Mada Atsui" cues up...

Capetta: The first match of the evening is about to be underway. Introducing first, from Kita Standing 5'6" and weighing in at 132 pounds--

Kari: And this woman, Akira Hokuto vs. Derek Walker!

Paul: A member of the nWo, but some what of a loner, still. Akira is an enigma of a woman--and she's hot, too. ^_^

Kari: She could also kick your butt without breaking a sweat. =P This should be quite the fast paced, unpredictable match!!

Paul: Right--and right.

"Faith of the Heart" by Russel Watson cues up.

Capetta: And her opponent, one-half of the EAW Tag Team Champions, from parts unknown, shi stands 6'3" and weighs in at 120 pounds--Derek Walker!!

Paul: On her way to the ring is Derek's gir--er, boyfri...what the hell do you call hir? An "itfriend?" =P

Kari: Well, I don't know the proper term. Erica's...partner?

Paul: I thought that was Kirk?

Kari: Well--not tag partner--doh, this is confusing. ANYWAY, Derek is a force to be reckoned with for any man, woman, or other person around.

*ding, ding*

As soon as the bell rings, Akira rushes towards Derek, dropkicking hir in the chest. Derek gets up again, and is Russian Leg Sweeped back down onto the mat. Legdrop across the shoulder by Akira, who wrenches the arm as she drives her knee into the shoulder joint.

Derek scoots towards the ropes, hooking it with her legs to get the rope break. Akira pulls her up into a wristlock, but Derek leaps onto the mat, slides between Akira's legs, and slips free, leaping onto her back, and spinning around into a DDT!!

Derek puts Akira in a front face lock, and goes for a tornado DDT--but Akira punches her way loose, headbutting Derek in the midsection, and drops hir chin-first across the top rope. She whips Derek back into the corner, and puts a boot underneath the chin. Akira goes for a running splash, but Derek gets a forearm up to block, then a high kick sends Akira to the mat. Akira gets up slowly, and Derek runs off the ropes, grabbing her by the neck, and hits a running bulldog in the center of the ring!!

Cover, quick 2 count by Derek.

Derek pulls up Akira in a full nelson, and runs her face into the corner turnbuckle, then lets go, grabbing Akira's ankles and yanking her off the ringpost, crashing face first to the mat. Shi then applies a surfboard variation, with Akira unable to reach the ropes despite them being right in front of her. She rocks backward, putting Derek's shoulders on the mat, so shi releases before shi gets counted on the pinfall.

Akira then gets up, grabbing Derek as shi gets up, and dropping her down hard with a back drop. After pulling Derek to hir feet, she whips her to the ropes, boosts up and drops Derek across the top rope similar to a Stungun. She then hits the far ropes, hitting a MAFIA KICK in the back of the neck!! Derek nearly falls to the outside, but Akira pulls her in, hitting an Edge-O-Matic for another pin--

Modified shoulder breaker by Akira, and Akira goes to the apron and hits a springboard missile dropkick to Derek. Akira then attempts a tombstone piledriver, but Derek counters, flipping backwards and setting AKIRA up for it! Akira breaks free, landing on her feet, and hits a neckbreaker on Derek. She holds on, about to turn it into a Northern Lights Bomb, but Derek locks on the Endless Hunger just before she can get the move off!!

Akira tries to elbow her way free, but Derek holds her in place with a full nelson, releasing the Hunger as shi slams her back-first onto the mat.

**Commercial Break**

We open up backstage as we find Lexay on her cell phone, talking to someone...

"Well...I'm getting ready to fight Ari..." She says. "I don't know why she made this match. I mean, it's pointless. She's angry over what happened with me and Krise. For one, it's none of her buisness what happened between me and her." She sighs, "I don't know why we're in Edenia anyway? I mean, didn't this place get trashed a long time ago? And the people here aren't so cool either. I mean, don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Maybe hate me because your boyfriend thinks I am. You still got my back, right? Okay, cool! Well I'll..." She turns her attention to another direction. "Hold on, I'll call you back..." She places down her cell as she gets an annoyed look on her face. "Can I help you?"

Krise doesn't seem to be at all amused at Lexay's attitude. "I just want to know one thing. That is, if you can fit it into your busy schedule, seeing that you're hardly ever available anymore."

"Can you just...get to the point, because I'm abit too busy to hear all of your mumbo jumbo..." Lexay says, annoyed. "I was on a very important call..."

"I know that you have some...issues you need to worry about, but I just want to know why. Why is it that you broke up with me? I mean, I thought that we had something. I thought we were really close. I thought-"

"Look! You intterupted my conversation just for ancient history? Look Krise, let me say it again, just like a few weeks ago. It's over. Finished, caput, done with, yesterday's news."

"Fine..." Krise says, trying to hide her hurt emotions. "I guess it's really over. I thought you really cared about me..."

Lexay just busts out laughing. "Me? Care about you? You were a good pal, not to mention very good at...other things. You thought our first night together was the most tremendous night we ever had. But for me..." She shrugs. "It was just another Friday night. Nothing more, nothing less." She now waves at the teary-eyed Krise as she now mouths, "Bye!"

Krise now leaves her locker room as when she's outside, she begins to cry.

Paul: You know, it's really a shame how those two broke up...and that Lexay and Arianna weren't able to get together...

Kari: Lexay is a selfish bitch!! NO it is NOT a shame. Ari doesn't need her.

Paul: Well, maybe if the three of them got together..."worked things out"...

Kari: You're a pervert, Paul.

Paul: Compared to Lawler and Lilith, I'm rather normal, I think.

Kari: So you're a little bit LESS of a pervert. Big deal.

"Don't Mess With Me" by Lil Kim cues up.

Paul: Ah...well, if they can't get along, a nice CATFIIIIIIGHT will be the next best thing. Some Lil' Kim to get things started. She's got out a new album, you know!

Kari: And lots of new plastic surgery.

Capetta: The following contest will be one fall and will be a no-holds-barred, no disqualification match. Introducing first, from San Diego, California, standing 5'10" and weighing in at 121 pounds...Lexay Too Sexay!!

Kari: She'll also be appearing in the back alley behind the arena for those looking for a cheap ho. Cash, check, or money order only. Because Lexay don't take American Express. Hell, if she had been borne a little bit sooner I could be calling immigration on her slutty, backstabbing bitch self to have her deported.

Paul: WHOA WHOA WHOA!! You're the one who is supposed to be fair and impartial. I'm the color commentator--I'm the one allowed to be biased.

Kari: You're right. Sorry. ^_^

Paul: This match should be fun--then at the upcoming Wrestlemania--the MILLER LIGHT CATFIGHT GIRLS!

Kari: ....

Paul: Lexay looking quite hot, I must say, as she makes her way to the ring--in more ways than one. These former tag team partners are sure to get down and dirty in that ring.

Kari: Yup...

"Click Click Boom" by Saliva plays...

Capetta: And on her way to the ring, her opponent. From Venice Beach, California, and standing 5'8" and weighing in at 118 pounds--Arianna!!

Kari: GO, ARI!! WHOOOO!!

Paul: Arianna ready to face her ex-partner, and this could get brutal...No Disqualification in this match!...Arianna hits the ring, and going after Lexay--who rolls out of the ring--

Kari: Lexay calling a time out...and looks like she's trying to talk peace here with Ari.

Lexay climbs back into the ring, and tries to calm out Arianna...offering her a hand shake, but Arianna slaps her in the face.

Paul: Er, an emphatic NO from Arianna!!

*ding, ding*

Dueling chairs, and Ari knocks Lexay's loose, jabbing her in the midsection with it, and bringing down across the back of her head. She goes up to the apron, and Aricanranas her onto the cement floor!

Belly to Belly Suplex, and Arianna holds on, second one is blocked, and Lexay counters, hitting one of her own. Lexay whips her to the apron, Arianna ducks the superkick but gets nailed with the Mach 1.

Lexay rolls Arianna into the ring, and slides in a table. Kicking out one of the legs, she applies the 69 to Ari, but she doesn't give up. Lexay begins to lose her grip and Arianna escapes the hold, trying to crawl away.

The two battle for supremecy, getting several two counts: Arianna after an early Swanton and Van Daminator, and Lexay after a Split Legged Moonsault and Twist-A-Roonie. Arianna sets up the table and goes for a superplex, but Lexay breaks free, and attempts to suplex her through the table. Arianna kicks the table out of the way but takes an X-Factor from the top rope!!

Lexay stands the table back up, and attempts to set up Arianna for a Rock Bottom from the top rope through the table, but Arianna snaps back to attention, walking the ropes and hitting a SPHERESHOT DDT through the table!! Cover by Arianna, 1, 2, 3!!!

*ding, ding, ding*

Winner by Pinfall >>> Arianna

Kari: ARIANNA WINS!! ARIANNA WINS!!

Paul: She's celebrating now, but a dazed and bitter Lexay getting back up--

Lexay doesn't seem very pleased with the announced winner, and the two begin to brawl again. Suddenly, a hispanic blonde girl jumps Ari as she and Lexay now double team her.

Kari: Now--whose this?!

Paul: Don't ask me, I don't think I've seen her before. I never forget a breas--er, FACE!

They give her a spike Piledriver on to the remnants of the table as then an extermely-PO'ed Buzzsaw runs in for the save. He hits the Buzzkill on the blonde and hits Lexay with his new move, the Killquick. He then carries Ari to the back, hoping she's okay.

**Commercials**

"Bodies" (XXX Virena Mix) hits as Violette comes out to a mixed reaction.

Kari: Welcome back folks--Arianna should be alright, although I've certainly seen her better...but this wasn't the way to improve my night. =P

Paul: Whaddya mean? Two hot women for the price of one!!

She grabs a mic. "You know... you people are truly lucky. I mean, you have an opportunity of a life time to see one of the greatest shows today, EAW Mayhem, right here and Edenia!"

Paul: Oh geez, cheap pop! I thought she had more shame than this.

"And not only are you loyal EAW fans. I'm betting that you guys are easly controlable..." This causes some fans to boo. "Lemme ask one question... who thinks that Princess Kitana should win the next Mortal Kombat tournament?" The crowd cheers abit. "Yeah! That girl deserves to be on top!" More cheers. "She's a hometown hero!" The crowd gives the biggest pop of the night.

Violette then laughs. "Oh my god, talk about losers. You actually believed a word I said?" She laughs as the crowd's reaction does a 180. "Talk about a flock of sheep. You actually think that bitch could win the tournement? You people are the biggest bunch of losers yet. But then again, maybe you're not a bunch of loser... Nah... your something else, as you're also idiots for believing that a skimpy princess could win a tournement. I know, I got it... all Edinians are Ludiots. And I thought the fact that A-Freak-Ko making a movie was ludicrious..."

Paul: BWAHAHAHAHAH!!

Kari: That's not funny... =P

Violette drops the Mic as "Bodies" hits again. Trash is thrown her way but she deflects it.

Kari: Well, up next...

Paul: Up next, you think RVD and Kane are an unlikely team, JR? Well, how about this: Code Red and the Blue Tigress teaming up against the American Angels.

Kari: Yeah. Can this team get through an entire match without ripping each other's heads off?

"Freedom Fighter" by Creed plays...

Capetta: The following Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall with a fifteeen minute time limit. Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, PA, at a combined weight of 330 pounds...the American Angels!!

Kari: This will be quite interesting--former tag team champions here facing a former World Champion and an up and coming star.

Paul: Yeah, we're pampering these Edenians. =P

Kari: Hey, we want them to have a good time. ^_^

As the Angels hit the ring, "Awake" by Godsmack plays, drawing out Trish, and then "Broken" by Bruce Dickinson plays, drawing out Michael Connelly.

Capetta: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 359 pounds, the "Blue Tigress" Trish Stratus and "Code Red" Michael Connelly!!

The team gets a mixed reaction, obviously the result of the two different members. Connelly rushes past Trish to the ring, climbing inside to soak up the reaction. Trish looks annoyed at this, but Michael separates the ropes for her to climb into the ring, confusing her a bit.

Kari: This will be a tenous partnership to be sure...the two discussing this...and Michael offering to let Trish start the match. Erica stepping forward, and it seems the ladies will be first here.

Paul: No complaints here. ^_^

*ding, ding*

The two get back up, and Erica dropkicks Trish in the knees. Trish back up, and a Dragon Screw by Erica. Fireman's Carry and a leglock by Erica, who then hooks the leg for a one count only. Erica goes for an Irish whip, but Trish reverses--Michael low-bridges Erica, sending her out to the outside!!

Michael leaps off with elbow on the back of the legs, and then tosses her back in the ring. Trish doesn't look pleased at the assistance, but hooks Erica with a Russian Leg Sweep, comboing it into the Compactor for two.

Erica tries to fight free as Trish puts on a headscissors on the mat, eventually slipping free of Trish's grip. Trish puts on a chinlock, but Erica elbows her in the midsection, going behind, and hoisting Trish overhead, reverse DVDing her onto the top rope!! She goes for a superplex--Michael gets out on the floor, grabbing Trish's ankles to block it. Trish counters, suplexing Erica nearly out of the ring--but Erica readjusts in mid-air, landing on Michael's shoulders, and Hurracanrana-ing him!!

Erica gets back into the ring, and surprises a charging Trish with a spear!! Erica scoops Trish overhead, and drives her stomach-first to her corner, tagging in Kirk.

Kirk gets in, hooking her arms under his shoulders, then Erica sprints from the diagonal corner and leapfrogs over Kirk, driving her body weight down across Trish's back (a variation of one of Team Angle's double teams)!! Kirk drives his knee into the side of Trish's, then puts on an STF submission. From the opposite corner Michael reaches out from the tag, but there's no way for Trish to reach from there. Trish slowly rotates her body grabbing the bottom rope, and Kirk releases the hold. Picking her up, Kirk puts on a front chancery, wrenching the neck as he pounds on her back. He goes for a vertical suplex, bringing Trish down on her back, then going back to the right leg, hitting her in the side of the knee.

The crowd chants for Trish, and she begins to respond. Getting back up to a vertical base, she manages to reverse and surprise Kirk by locking on a Triangle Hold, while also getting some of her wind back. Kirk fights to escape it, and goes behind, attempting a German Suplex, but Trish grabs the ropes with both arms, and his grip breaks, hitting the mat. Trish then springs off, hitting a reverse dropkick as Kirk gets up. She pulls him up, and hits a sitdown jawbreaker, and then a standing legdrop. She MAKES THE TAG to Michael!!

The cheers turn to boos as Michael climbs in the ring. Trish holds Kirk up in an abdominal stretch, and Michael kicks him in the belly, then drives a heel into the shoulder, wrenching him into a hammerlock as Trish exits the ring. Michael wraps the arm around the rope, leaning into it to hyperextend it, then chops Kirk across the chest twice. He pulls the arm free, driving his shoulder into the shoulder joint of Kirk. Kirk counters, putting Michael in a hammerlock, then taking him down to the mat, spinning around into a front chancery. Michael tries to get up off the mat, but Kirk puts a spinning neckbreaker on him, then whips him into the ropes. High crescent kick ducked by Kirk--BELLY TO BELLY suplex throw sends Michael spawling. He crawls for the rope, and Kirk pulls him away from it. Anklelock attempted--but Michael rolling through into a counter, side arm bar by Michael, then locks on a full nelson. Michael rubs Kirk's face into the mat, then yanks Kirk up, hits a Release Dragon Suplex on Kirk!! Michael goes a Shining Wizard, but Kirk blocks it, grabbing the knee, then inverted atomic dropping Michael!! Kirk ducks behind, going for the Olympic Slam--Michael lands behind him, attempting a reverse neckbreaker--Kirk blocks, hooking the arms and going into a backslide, getting a two!!

Kirk gets up, and clotheslines Michael as he gets up, then whips him into the ropes, hitting a side belly to belly suplex. Waistlock as he gets up, and bridging German by Kurt. Long two, and a kick out. Michael gets up, and Kirk whips him into the corner. He charges in--Michael avoids it, and shoves Kirk shoulder-first into the ringpost, with the vulnerable shoulder!!

Michael grabs the arm, yanking down on it to damage the shoulder further, then tags in Trish. Trish climbs up to the top rope, missile dropkicking Kirk into the shoulder region. Michael climbs back outside, and Trish continues where he left off, taking down Kirk with a single arm DDT and continuing to focus on the shoulder. Trish tags back in, keeping Kirk isolating in their corner, and they put the boots to Kirk. Kirk tries to block and counter a snap suplex by Trish, but is unable to due to the damage done. Michael picks him up, delivering a shoulder breaker to him as Trish goes back out of the ring. Cover, long two for Michael on Kirk. Michael goes out to the apron for the Connelly Comet, but Kirk hits a surprise clothesline with his good arm to counter!! Michael back up, and Kirk whips him to the ropes, hitting an awkward powerslam, but straining his shoulder more. He tags in Erica. Michael rolls to his corner, tagging in Trish.

Trish comes in quickly and the two charge at each other, locking up in the center of the ring. Trish goes for a roundhouse, but is backdropped when Erica ducks. Trish back up, and arm drags the charging Erica. Erica gets back up, and surprises Trish with a sidewalk slam, then a catapult into the corner. Erica hits an Emerald Frosion on Trish, covering and getting a one, two--Michael pulls her out of the ring, and throws her back-first into the steel stairs.

"Holy Sidekicks, Hurricane--it's Mighty Molly!"

"Supergirl" by Shonen Knife cues up as we come back from break.

Kari: Welcome back to Wednesday Night Mayhem! I'm Kari Gibson with the infamous Paul Heyman, and we're back.

Paul: And just in time for a helluva match. Mighty Molly with some great momentum as of late, and she's looking to be in contention for the Cruiserweight Title soon.

Capetta: The following match is scheduled for one fall with a ten minute time limit. Introducing first, from Mobile, Alabama, standing 5'7"--Mighty Molly!

Paul: Mike Sanders seems to have taken some interest in her plight, and lended some of his time and expertise to her.

Paul: Well, many guys would gladly do that if Molly's involved.

Kari: I suppose so. =P

Paul: A long laundry list of accomplishments to be sure. However, the Mighty One is no push over! I think she'll go on to great things here in EAW!

Kari: Surprising to see you backing her...

Paul: I'm a Hurricane mark, so sue me. =P

Kari: Hehehe--

Cover by Molly, and only a one. Molly gets up and hits a TEARDROP SUPLEX?! (O_o) She rolls over Sonic face down, then executes somersault leg drop from the apron onto the back. She goes for a Camel Clutch, but Sonic crawls backwards, putting her feet on the ropes to prevent Molly from applying the hold, then slips between the ropes onto the apron. Molly gets up, and walks into a headbutt from Sonic, and she flips over Molly, sunset flipping her, but Molly rolls through, grabbing Sonic's ankles and catapulting her, snapping her head back underneath the top rope.

***

A hauntingly beautiful piano solo begins as we fade into a familiar figure... Tahna Christian... walking in slow motion down a street... she pauses... then looks to the sky with a sad gaze. As the singer begins we see Tahna in happier times, running along a beach, then turning to face another woman... a cute girl with short red hair and green eyes... who chases after her as she laughs happily.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

Scene switch to Tahna in the present, as she sits back against a wall, the streets awash with rain as she hugs herself, her head lowered.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

The past... Tahna kisses the girl passionately as the two fall to the bed... a fast forward and the two are in bed, staring into each other's eyes dreamily.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

Back to the present... Tahna is seen walking into a graveyard, pushing the gates open as her crow familiar flies over, perching onto the gate as it looks on.

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

Past Tahna and the girl, both kneeling before one another as Tahna slips a ring onto the girl's finger. The girl smiles happily and hugs Tahna tightly... fade to black...

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Fade in, underwater as Tahna is submerged into the lake, her hands and feet chained together. She struggles, screaming silently, tears merging with the water as she sinks...

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

Tahna's grave... slowly zooming in to it... a crow flying over and perching upon it... and suddenly, Tahna's hand exploding from the ground.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

Present Tahna... looking to another grave... then silently reaching into her trenchcoat as she kneels down, placing a single rose upon the grave.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

The grave reads... "KATHERINE SHAW -- 1982-2001" ... fade in to Tahna as she lowers her head... fresh tears falling from her painted face... fade to black... and as the song ends, this image fades in, glowing brightly on the Jumbotron.

... BELIEVE IN ANGELS...

***

Back to the arena... all over fans have lit lighters as the lights come back on. Kari is visibly weeping as Paul is just looking at her.

Paul: Uh... you okay?

Kari: *snif* Oh... oh yes... *sniffle* ... it's just... that song was so beautiful... and... that Tahna.. so... so t-tragic... ;_; *snif*

Paul: Uh... right, well... Tahna Christian, the Crow, is on her way to the EAW apparently. Here to make Kari cry every time a teaser pops up about her.

Kari: ;_; *sob*

KRRAA-SSHH!!!

"Glass Shatters" cues up and the fans break out into cheers as Stone Cold Steve Austin BMF-walks down the aisle to the ring.

Kari: Okay, okay... *snif* Here we go! Stone Cold Steve Austin! He and the nWo have been at odds recently and now he's set to go toe-to-toe with the nWo's newest member, Blink!

Paul: Stone Cold Steve Austin and Blink had a relationship that was like father and daughter! And now they're at each other's throats! I love it!!

Kari: You would...

After Austin does the four ring corner double bird to the crowd, "Glass Shatters" fades out...

... n... W... o...

"Rise" cues up... but not by the Cult... by Disturbed! And with a *BLINK!* Blink appears on the stage, dressed in a black and white version of her ring gear, the nWo logo painted on her right arm!

Kari: I'm so disappointed in Blink... she joins the nWo and doesn't even give a reason as to why she joined! It's so shameful!
