HHH: Hey, has Blink shown up yet?
Security: Yeah, she and that blue woman showed up several hours ago.
HHH: ... Perfect... okay, thanks...
Triple H turns a corner... then pauses, seeing the cerulean scaled Mystique standing before him.
HHH: Get the hell outta my way, you Black Lagoon rip-off... you got beef with me, settle it tonight. 'Course I'll still bust your daughter's ass... yours too, if you push me.
Mystique: Tough words, coming from a human. My daughter barred me from ringside... but make no mistakes about it. I vow that Clarice will become the EAW champion tonight.
HHH: Yeah, "Clarice" will become my bitch, more like it...
Triple H shoves Mystique out of the way... the shape shifter merely watches him depart... and smiles deviously, her gold eyes glowing slightly.

The obligatory pan across the arena is shown, with signs saying "BLINK IS THAT DAMN GOOD!" and "RYOKAMI FEARS FREDDY!" in the crowd.
Styles: Hello again everyone, and this is Mayhem!! I'm Joey Styles, Jerry "The King" Lawler with me at ringside and have we got a show lined up for everyone tonight! Just signed tonight we have a Hardcore title match between Ryokami and Nova!!
Lawler: Ah man, I can't wait!! Nova may call himself the inNOVAtor, but both he and Ryokami are pretty imaginative when it comes to violence! Anything can happen in that match!!
Styles: We also had a debut match lined up with "Shonuff" Sean Sensation Vs. Freddy Krueger, but I understand that Sensation was caught up in traffic and unable to make it tonight... and Freddy... well, I guess he was caught in a good dream or something...
Lawler: Hah! You ask me Freddy entered Ariel Bridges' dreams and probably died from a huge sugar overload! That girl's too cute for her own good, Styles!
Styles: We also understand that Kidd Foxx has not shown up at all here, and who can blame him! He was scheduled to fight Ryokami in a Hell's Asylum match as punishment handed down by our Commisioner Lynxara! But obviously he chickened out! Who wouldn't against a psychopath like Ryokami!
Lawler: That leaves us with three matches tonight! Man, I hope these matches're good!
"Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" suddenly cues up, and Ryokami comes out from the backstage area... his arrival is marked by a mix of cheers and boos; Ryokami merely looks bemused by the fans as he jumps down off the stage, pulling out from the curtains underneath two trash cans full of weapons and makes his way down to ringside.
Styles: And here comes the self-professed Anti-Savior now... some say that he's even MORE evil than his former counterpart Mortis, and considering the past things that the Undead Warrior has done... well, let's just say that Nova's chances of coming out on this unscathed are, in the words of the late great Gorilla Monsoon, Slim to None, and Slim just left town!
Lawler: Well, he DID beat Ryokami and Blueboy for the Hardcore title! In Ryokami's own creation up above that ring there! So we'll have to see just what Ryokami and Nova will do here tonight!
"One Man Army" then cues up and out comes Nova, without the accompaniment of Angelina... he charges in and begins to pummel at Ryokami all out!
Styles: Whoa! Referee Tim White calls for the bell!! And here begins our first bout of the night!
Ryokami and Nova keep training punches, neither one ever showing a hint of quit, until Ryokami suddenly ducks a swing from Nova and--
Styles: OHH!! FIST TO THE GROIN!! A dirty-underhanded move, but there's no disqualifications in a hardcore match, so it's legal!
Lawler: He's going into one of those garbage cans now... what's he lookin' for--
Ryokami pulls out a pick axe...!
Styles: My God! ... Ryokami isn't going to do what I think he's going to do... he isn't--!!
Ryokami draws the pick axe back--but Nova quickly kicks Ryokami in the gut, stunning him, leaping up--
Styles: DDT!! Ryokami's out-- oh, and he gets right back up... shades of Shaed Bloodgrave himself...!!
Lawler: And Ryokami's smiling!! He's twisted, Styles! Really twisted!
As Tim White gets the pick axe out of the ring Ryokami and Nova stare at each other... then they tie-up!
Styles: Nova with a gut to Ryokami, elbow to the back of the head! But Ryokami battles back up with an uppercut to the jaw, and a shot to the gut! And there's a big body blow combination move! Wait, Nova blocks a punch! Forearm! NOVACAINE!!
Lawler: AHH! Ryokami got up!!
Styles: Like a shot, he got up!! Nova's shocked!! Wait, Ryokami's getting out... he got out a sledgehammer and... he's handing it to Nova?!! What's the point in this?!!
Lawler: Well, Nova's not looking a gift horse in the mouth, he's using it!!
Styles: Shot to the gut! And to the head!! And Ryokami... he's getting up, my God, he's getting up!! Slowly, but he's getting--OH, no he's not!! Crushing blow to the skull by Nova!! And the pin!! One, two, NO, kickout!! How the hell did Ryokami kick out?!!
Ryokami rolls out of the ring and quickly pulls out a table... he's about to slide it in when--
Styles: NOVA WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE!! VAN DAMINATOR-STYLE ATTACK!! THE WOOD COLLIDES WITH RYOKAMI!! And the pin! One, two! But Ryokami kicks out!!
Nova picks Ryokami up and suddenly the two are duking it out once more, punching and kicking at each other--
Styles: RYOKAMI CLOTHESLINES NOVA AND HIMSELF OVER THE SECURITY RAILING!! THEY'RE FIGHTING THROUGH THE FANS!! THEY... someone get a camera to the backstage! That's where they're going!!
Lawler: Styles, these hardcore matches! They're so unpredictable!! They might end up fighting on top of this arena if we're not to careful!
Styles: ... I understand we DO have a camera crew backstage! Let's get back to the action!
The scene shifts to the backstage, just as Nova has Ryokami up in a powerbomb position and--
Styles: SLEDGE-O-MATIC ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR!! And the cover! One, two-- NO!! Ryokami keeps kicking out!!
Lawler: You can't keep this guy down!
Styles: There has to be a way... wait, Nova's rushing off... he's going towards a forklift! And Ryokami-- my God he just kippuped! He looks like he's not even tired at all!! He's a monster!!
Nova suddenly barrels on down towards Ryokami in the forklift!! Ryokami just barely gets out of the way as Nova skids to a halt. Ryokami quickly runs towards Nova, climbing into the forklift with him and the two start trading punches, until--
Styles: Ryokami swing dropkicks Nova out of the forklift! My God, now he's in control... he... HE'S GOING TO RUN NOVA OVER!!! HE--
*KRAK-KAASHH!!*
Nova just barely rolled away as Ryokami crashes the forklift into the wall!! Unscathed, Ryokami vaults over onto the top of the forklift's roof as Nova staggers up.
Styles: Ryokami single leg dropkicks Nova in the chest off the forklift!! And the pin!! One, two... NO! Nova gets a shoulder up!! This... my God, this is the wildest Hardcore match I've ever had the privilage of commentating, ladies and gentlemen!! Ryokami picks Nova up... ah, and just throws him head-first back down onto the concrete!! Another pick-up!! And another throwdown!! Now he's got him up in a fireman's carry position and-- where is he going with him?!! Cameraman, follow those two!! I don't like the looks of this!
The cameraman does indeed follow Ryokami as he carries the stunned Nova... all the way to the outside parking lot! Depositing Nova unceremoniously in front of a high-powered hydraulic forklift... the same kind of forklift infamous from this year's WWF Survivor Series... and then Ryokami climbs inside...
Styles: My God... I think Ryokami had this planned!! Ryokami is jacking Nova up into the air!! That forklift has a pallet on it, and Nova's on that!! My God, that pallet's gotta be at least fourty feet up in the air!! And... and Ryokami is getting out of the forklift and... and CLIMBING IT!! He's meeting Nova up on that elevated pallet!! What is that madman thinking?!!!
Lawler: Whatever it is it can't be good!!
Styles: It isn't!! MY GOD!! Ryokami is... HE IS!! HE'S GOING TO DELIVER THE SUDDEN IMPACT OFF THAT PALLET!!! HE'S INSANE!! THAT WON'T KILL HIM, BUT IT'LL DEFINATELY KILL NOVA!!! SOMEONE STOP HIM HE--
Suddenly at a last desperate act, Nova elbows Ryokami... once... twice...!! And then--
Styles: NOVACAINE!! Nova countered the Sudden Impact into the Novacaine!! Nova saved his own life there!! But Ryokami is still getting up!! Wait, Nova kicks Ryokami in the groin! Sets him up and-- ...
...
...
... OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! KRYPTONITE KRUNCH OFF OF THE PALLET!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT OFF THE PALLET!!!!!! AND ONTO THOSE CARS BELOW THEM!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!! AND NOVA... SOMEHOW NOVA'S STILL ALIVE!!!!!!! WITH THE PIN! ONE!! TWO!! THREE!!! MY GOD!!! MY GOD, NOVA WINS!!!! NOVA AND RYOKAMI!!! IN ONE OF THE DAMNEST HARDCORE MATCHES EVER IN WRESTLING HISTORY!!!!
Winner And Still Hardcore Champion: Nova
Nova is hurt badly though... slowly he emerges from the wreckage, Angelina rushing to his side... suddenly--
Styles: NO... impossible!! Ryokami sat up!!! Look at him!! He's cut! Bleeding!! Contusions!! But he just GOT UP!!! Nova and Angelina are shocked!!! We ALL are!!! Ryokami isn't attacking though!! He... my God, it looks like he's gota broken arm... Ryokami limps to Nova and... my God, Ryokami's holding out his hand towards Nova! Sportsmanship from that maniac?! Wait, he just said something to Nova... I don't know what and... Nova accepts his hand!! My God I... if I didn't know any better I'd say Ryokami has got respect for Nova! What an end to the most brutal, wildest hardcore bout we've had!! Don't go away, folks! We'll be right back!
***Something from the meat case, Linda?***
Back to the show with Michael Cole as he's with Nova and Angelina; the doctors are busy tending to Nova's injuries at this time.
Cole: I'm here with the still Hardcore champion Nova, who had quite possibly the most unpredictable match of his very career! Nova, if we can... can you tell us what Ryokami said to you after the match?
Nova looks up at Cole... with a soft sigh he manages a short smile.
Nova: He said that I was the hardcore champion now... that "his" belt was mine... and that I earned his respect...
Cut to Ryokami, who's refused all medical treatment... though blood is still on his black leather clothes his wounds have all healed into scars, but his arm still hangs loosely and limp. With an annoyed growl he takes his broken arm... and with a sudden snap, reset the bone! Grimacing in pain, he slowly flexed his fingers... then bowed his head.
Ryokami: ... You are the champion, hero... for now, you've earned my respect. But one day... one day... I will return to claim... your belt.
As Ryokami turns to leave the arena we go back to Styles and Lawler.
Lawler: Did you see that?! Styles, he... he just reset his broken bone into place!! That... that Ryokami, he... he's inhuman!
Styles: No doubt we have been witness to the wildest hardcore match ever, Jerry! Not since the days of Cactus Jack's legendary Japanese Death Matches to the Infamous Junkyard Hardcore match... have we EVER seen anything like that!
Lawler: And if Ryokami has his way... one day we might see a repeat!! Wow, what could Ryokami do to top tonight?!!
"The Funeral March" by The Great Kat cues up suddenly... the stage shakes ominously, and fireworks explode from it. When the smoke clears, Lou Cypher--associate of Mechius and the self-proclaimed "Satan's right-hand man"--stands with an evil grin on his face. Beside and behind him, looking a little more timid, is Lady Widow. Her outfit closely resembles Black Widow's, with the exception of two extra sleeves on either side to accommodate her extra arms, and a modified mask for her fangs.
Styles: The evil Lou Cypher, and Lady Widow--the oddest tag team in the EAW?
King: Don't worry, Styles. Lady Widow is undoubtedly inexperienced, but with a businessman like Lou on hand, things will go a little smoother.
Styles: Lady Widow is the product of that bastard Mechius, taking a poor helpless girl and turning her into a brainwashed wrestler to work for him. She's cybernetically enhanced, but at a price....
King: Think of all the possibilities for those arms, though! Although with those fangs...I wouldn't want to risk...
Styles: Uggggh....
The two get in the ring, awaiting their opponents...
"DNR" by Testament begins to play, the newest tag team to sign with the EAW, S&M, steps out on the entranceway....BG Hyde stands behind her charges.
King: And their opponents....I like S&M, Joey.
Styles: I'm sure you do...Spike and Morty, along with BG Hyde!! This is another double debut of sorts--Lady Widow's first match in EAW, and S&M's first match in EAW.
BG smacks Spike on the rear end HARD with her riding crop, prompting him to start walking down the ramp. She then does the same to Morty...
King: ME NEXT!! ME NEXT!! ME NEXT!!
Styles: BG's outfit looks familiar...
King: Yeah, she looks kind of like a mini-Big Momma Lay Ya in that outfit. Tight-fitting leather gives me a "special feeling."
Styles: Ummm...
King: I mean SEEING BG WEAR TIGHT-FITTING LEATHER, you know I meant that, Styles.
Styles: The two teams huddle in their opposite corners, perhaps a few seconds of pre-match stragety.
King: Lou and Morty are in first!
Styles: Morty has the power advantage, but even so, Spike is even larger...a HUGE 7'3" 300+ pounder!! Morty takes a spin kick to the side of the head...back kick to the stomach...HIGH KNEE to the chin....snap suplex by Cypher!! Drops an elbow...Morty up....Inverted Atomic Drop!! Morty drags Cypher's eye across the top rope...DROPKICK!!! Cypher grabs the middle rope! Morty hits the opposite ropes...running towards Cypher....CYPHER LEAPFROGS OVER--MORTY MISSES WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE!!!
King: And looks really stupid to boot. BG isn't gonna like that, Morty. I guess being blindfolded that much takes its toll.
Styles: Morty's rather resilient...already getting back to his feet. Cypher goes for a Piscato!! POWERSLAMMED BY MORTY!! Wait--Lady Widow mounts the turnbuckle!!
King: Hee-hee..."mounts."
Styles: MISSILE DROP KICK TO MORTY!!! Lady Widow takes out Morty!! She picks him up and rolls him back in....does the same for Cypher...Cypher with a cover....2 count only.
King: Didn't I see this Lou Cypher in a picture before...with Hitler, Nixon, Stalin?
Styles: Don't encourage him, King. Cypher up...European Uppercut to Morty...Morty with an Eye Gouge...picks up Cypher easily....drops him throat-first across the turnbuckle! Tag in to Spike.
The massive Spike steps over the ropes, towards Cypher, who is flat on his back. Reaching down, he grabs Cypher around his head...
Styles: OH MY GOD!!! Look at the power of Spike!! Cypher kicks his legs in desperation...Spike tosses Cypher to the corner...HUGE CHOP to the chest of Cypher...
Spike picks up Cypher by the back of his shirt collar, Cypher tags in Lady Widow.
King: NOOOOO!!! Not little Lady Widow. Spike's way too big!!
Styles: This may be a rather daunting task for this young girl...she springs over the top rope....elbow between the eyes of Spike!! Spike drops Cypher.
King: Cypher high-tails it out of the ring! Lady Widow vs. Spike. WAAAAAAAAIII!!! ^_^
Styles: Spike looks a little in shock and....OH MY GOD!!!! LADY WIDOW SCOOPS UP SPIKE!!!! AND SLAMS HIM!!!
King: *shrieks*
Styles: Spike grabbing his back in pain...whipped by Lady Widow...grabs him with all six arms....BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!! OH MY GOD!!!
King: Yeep...
Styles: There's no doubt, Widow has the strength to hang with Spike...and she's got amazing speed as well. She could very well pull of a win for her team...Body Splash from the top rope on Spike!!
One
.
.
Styles: Tossed off VIOLENTLY by Spike!!
King: Lady Widow is just too dainty to do much damage with that move.
Styles: Spike whips Lady Widow HARD to the turnbuckle...hits her with a running big boot!!!
King: Damn!!! Look at the size of that foot!! It must be true what they say about guys with big feet, if BG is hanging with him.
Styles: Spike bounces off the ropes...goes for a leg drop....LADY WIDOW CATCHES THE LEG!!!
Lady Widow stand up....still holding Spike's leg as he looks wide-eyed..
Styles: DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP!!! Tag to Cypher!! Spike is trying to be back up....Cypher hits the Meet the Mat!! Spike lands face down again!!
King: At least Spike is used to being dominated....
Styles: Cypher picks up Spike...hits a piledriver!!! Running to the corner..second rope leg drop!! He sets up him up in the corner...backsteps...Corner Splash coming up...CAUGHT AROUND THE THROAT by SPIKE!! CHOKE POWERBOMB!!!
Spike tags in Morty, who runs along the apron, then springboards over with a leg drop.
Tag by Spike.....Morty with the Springboard legdrop...One

ALMOST!!!
Styles: Morty picks up Cypher...sets him up in the corner...Monkey FLIP! Floatover into a chokehold!! SPINKICK FROM THE TOP ROPE BREAKS IT UP!!! Lady Widow saves Cypher!
King: It seems Lady Widow is very comfortable on top. Is she comfortable without a top?
Styles: Cypher waits in the corner...Morty up...Cypher charges...SPINNING NECK BREAKER!!!
King: Morty spinning LIKE a top!!
Styles: Morty getting back up....Running Pump Kick to the chest!! Cypher tags in Lady Widow!!
Styles: Lady Widow jumps on Morty!! Pummeling him with three arms at once!! She's getting up...and....Morty is going for the tag!! Lady Widow isn't trying to stop him!! TAG TO SPIKE!! Spike steps over the ropes...Lady Widow rushes him....whipped by Spike...Tilt a Whirl HEADSCISSORS from Lady Widow!!
King: I'm a little envious of Spike right there.
Lady Widow runs to nearby corner, and begins stomping her foot.
Styles: Uh-oh...this could be a superkick coming up from Lady Widow.
But she stops and shrieks...B.G. has her by her braided ponytail!!
Styles: That damned BG interferes!!! Spike has Lady Widow's head in his gigantic hand!! SUFFERING'S END!!!

Winners: S&M
Styles: What a match! But we're not done yet, folks!
The scene switches to Triple H heading down the hallway, drinking from his water bottle, looking focused and with the EAW World title around his waist.
Styles: There's Triple H! The EAW World Champ looks focused! And tonight his opponent will be...
Cut to Blink... sitting on a bench as she finishes lacing up her boots tight, then she stands up and heads down the hallway, tilting her head side-to-side and throwing some wicked punches.
Styles: ... that girl... Coming up! Blink! Triple H! For the EAW World Title! That's next!
***STOMACH MONKEYS!***
Back to the show... "The Way I Am" cues up as Triple H heads down to the ring, the fans giving him a mix of cheers and boos. The EAW Champion pays them no mind as he climbs into the ring, playing to the crowd as only he can.
Styles: We're back! And there's the EAW Champion!! "The Decadent" Triple H! This should be one hell of a match here tonight, folks!
Lawler: I can't wait!! This is gonna be great!
"My Generation" then cues up... and with a resounding *BLINK!* the challenger drops to the backstage, crouching down to one knee. The fans go wild.
Styles: There she is!! Her mother calls her the Great Mutant Hope, but the fans in general call her Blink! A lifetime of misery and heartache has lead her to this promotion! And now this young mutant woman has the chance to make history and defeat Triple H to win the EAW title!!
Lawler: Well... Triple H may be the best there is, but... well, I gotta give it to Blink! She's that damn good! Woo-hoo! Go Blink!
Styles: You'll root for anything with a set of breasts, King.
Lawler: It's true, it's true!! Woo-hoo!!
Blink charges to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and jumping to her feet, her pearl-like eyes staring at Triple H... Triple H stares right back.
Then referee Ayane Mitsui calls for the bell.
Styles: Tie-up... Triple H with a scoop slam! Blink scurries up-- Triple H slams her again! Blink gets up-- COUNTERS with a front dropkick!! Triple H is down... not out though... look at the look on his face! He doesn't know what to think about Blink!
Lawler: If looks could kill... wow! Blink's not taking her eyes off him, either... how can she see with those eyes, Styles?!
Styles: No clue... tie-up... Triple H with a knee to the gut of Blink! A whip to the corner, follow through with a clothsline!! Triple H sets the dazed Blink up... SUPERPLEX!! And now he's stomping away at Blink's chest!
Lawler: No! Don't do that, Hunter! She's young! They may grow bigger!!
Styles: Stop that. WHOA!! Blink jumps up-- STANDING DRAGONRANA PIN!! One-- no, just a one count! Much too early! Both get up-- OH, Triple H with a running knee strike sends Blink down to the canvas! Pick up by the champion-- VICIOUS punch to Blink's forehead!! Blink looks dazed-- WAIT, she just used the ropes as a springboard, jumps over Triple H-- Oh my, SPINNING DRAGONRANA PIN!!! NO! STILL just a one count!!
Lawler: Impressive moves, but she'd better know that won't get the job done!
Styles: Blink whips Triple H to the ropes, but Hunter flips to his feet--surprising agility... but the momentum sends him out of the ring! Blink runs after him--high flying move -- NO! Luchadore-style backflipping fake-out!! And Blink crotchchops at Triple H!!
Lawler: Yeah, baby!!
Styles: Triple H is fuming! He climbs back into the ring-- OH, met with another front dropkick to the chest!! Blink runs after him-- NO!! Triple H with a Knee to Face Buster!! And I think Blink's been busted open in this contest!
Lawler: Oh, no!!
Styles: Triple H picks the dazed Blink up... belly to back suplex! Another pick up... scoop slam! And there's an arm wrench! Triple H is really punishing Blink now!!
Lawler: It doesn't look good for our spunky little mutant girl, Styles!
Styles: Not good at all! Triple H-- PULLING PILEDRIVER!! Pick-up... whip to the ropes... NECKBREAKER from behind!!! How much more can Blink take?!! Pin! One... two... NO! Blink get's a shoulder up!! Triple H looks fustrated... picks up Blink--NO! BLINK FRONT DROPKICKS!! Blink's trying to make a comeback!! Triple H gets up-- Blink running knee strikes him back down!! Blink gets him back up-- CLOTHESLINE BACK DOWN!!! Whip to the ropes-- KNEE TO THE HEAD BY BLINK!!! Pickup... whips, no, reversal, Blink misses with the elbow, but HITS THE ARM DRAG!! And-- MY GOD!! Triple H spears Blink almost out of her boots!!!
Lawler: Couldn't he have speared her out of her shirt or something?!
Styles: Triple H sets Blink up-- FACECRUSHER!! And the pin! One... NO! Blink kicks out!! And Triple H is REALLY getting fustrated now! Pick up from the Decadent-- ANOTHER KNEE TO FACE BUSTER!! Whip to the ropes! And a series of shoulder thrusts to Blink's midsection!! Blink's... no, Blink manages to hang in there!! ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! What a trooper Blink is!! Blink whips Hunter to the ropes, follows through with a SPINNING HEEL KICK!! My God, he almost got knocked out of the ring!! Blink charges in again--NO, Triple H gets a boot up! Follows through-- raining those punches down on Blink's bleeding temple!! And now the pickup-- AND HE HOOKS BLINK IN!!
Lawler: Oh, nooooo!!
Styles: PEDIGREE!! And the pin! One... two... and Blink gets a foot on the ropes!! Great eye by Ayane Mitsui!! Blink's picked up... BACKBREAKER!! Triple H is sensing victory... pick up by Hunter-- WAIT!!! KNEE TO THE GUT AND-- SPLIT SECOND!!! BLINK'S HIT THE SPLIT SECOND ON THE CHAMPION!!! The cover!!

Styles: MY GOD!!! MY GOD!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! BLINK WINS!! BLINK WINS!!! BLINK WINS!! BLINK IS THE NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!
Winner and new EAW Champ: Blink
Blink staggers to the ropes, holding her head in pain, but when Ayane awards Blink the gold belt, she's speechless, eyes wide with shock... then hugs the belt tightly, holding the belt up high as she cheers out with the fans.
Styles: What a momentous night, folks!!! Look at the tears of joy on Blink's face!! She's absolutely estatic!! She can't believe it!! But it's true!! She is the undisputed EAW World Champion!!!
Lawler: What a night!!
Styles: For Jerry "The King" Lawler, this is Joey Styles!! See you next time on EAW Programming!
Triple H merely smiles evilly. "I told you my daughter would win."
Suddenly Triple H's form melts... shape-shifting to a familiar shapely blue-scaled form...!!
"Pathetic human," Mystique hisses, as she turns on a heel and walks away, laughing mockingly...
