Location: The James Coburn Arena

The scene opens up on the backstage area as a long figure is seen walking down the aisle... it's revealed as the Big Red Machine himself, with Ariel sitting up on his shoulders. Michael Cole comes out to try to talk to Kane, but Kane immediately seizes his neck, evil intentions in his mismatched eyes.

Ariel: Kane, let him go.

Kane immediately complies, letting go of Cole, who coughs, trying to catch his breath.

Ariel: Sorry, Michael... what's up? ^_^

Cole: *coff* Er... well, I was just... I just wanted to get your words on Kane's match with Triple H tonight.

Kane: ... he will pay...

That's all Kane will say as he passes Michael Cole, Ariel still on top of his shoulders... as we go to the ring.

Trinity vs. Tympani Craig

With both women already in the ring, the match starts out quick; Tympani runs at Trinity for a spinning heel kick, clocking her opponent hard in the head. As Trinity falls Tympani goes to pick her up, but Trinity sweeps up her legs, and flinging her against the corner with a slingshot catapult! As Tympani hits the corner Trinity moves and does a charging shoulder straight into Tympani's gut, then a quickly thrust kick straight to her head that sends the woman flying out of the ring! Trinity quickly climbs up the top rope and flies down at Tympani in a body press, but Tympani manages to roll out of the way! Tympani manages to get up to her feet and starts whailing at Trinity... Trinity then proceeds to fight back too. Neither women pay heed to the ref's 10 count as they continue their cat-fight, and the ref has no choice but to call for the bell.

Winner: None (double count-out)

The battle keeps going on until officials move to pull the two women apart from each other. Judging by the two as they exchange fierce words, it's not over between these two...

***No commercials... just two monkeys humping each other for two straight minutes... must be some sattelite problems***

After the... er, commercial break we see Tympani and Trinity cat-fighting in the hallway! But it quickly cuts short as Trinity grabs a nearby foreign object... a glass pitcher... and crashes it right into Tympani's head! As she collapses in a heap, Trinity shouts at the downed woman. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH US, YOU BITCH!!"

Camera switch to Rik Felstrom already in the ring- sort of. He leviatates above it, surrounded by psionic energy, arms crossed as if impatient, a mic in one hand. He drops to the mat as his powers cut out, lifting the mic to his mouth as he begins to speak.

Rik: Okay... Mortis, y'know how you're always going about saying how "hardcore" you are?! Well, you're NOT hardcore! Hell, Vince McMahon's more hardcore than you, because he's a billionare who takes chairshots to the head not because he has to... but because he loves it! Now THAT'S hardcore!!

Rik flicks away the mic as is his classic indication to the end of his rant.

"Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" suddenly cues up, and a rush of sand and dust flows together to form Mortis... he holds up his hands and catches a small tombstone easily, then walks to the ring; the cameras catch the inscription on the granite marker... "Here Lies Sonnette -- May She Burn In Hell" Rik sees this on the Jumbo-Tron in the distance and looks seriously non-plussed about it... as Mortis places the tombstone near the timekeeper's table Rik jumps out of the ring and starts hammering blow after blow on the Undead Warrior... and the bell rings.

Hardcore Rules Match
Mortis Vs. Rik Felstrom

Rik pushes Mortis aside and goes for a clothesline, but Mortis side-steps the attack and drives a kick to his back, causing him to stagger back. He then grabs the zoot and Russian leg sweeps him to the concete. With Rik temporarily downed Mortis quickly looks under the ring, pulling out a managerie of implements of destruction. Mortis grabs a trash can and is about ot wallop Rik with it, but Rik swiftly defends himself, throwing a kick to Mortis' groin! It stops Mortis... but all he does is laugh! Rik takes advantage of Mortis' arrogance, grabbing a sledgehammer and driving it into Mortis' gut; Mortis stops laughing after that. Rik then swings it upward, cracking him hard in the jaw! Mortis falls backward, then goes for the pin. Surprisingly, Mortis kicks out at 1 1/2! Rik stands up and runs to the other side of the ring, looking under it... smiling when he finds a table. He slides it into the ring and starts setting it up as Mortis begins to rise up, resetting his jaw. Mortis is about to climb back in, but Rik sees him coming, running over and suplexing him over into the ring. It's then that the Elite rolls out on his wheelchair, pointing to Rik, who pauses, looking to the disabled EAW superstar as Mortis staggers up, also hesitating. Suddenly Cyrus runs down and starts skirmishing with them both. The two opponents forget their match and knock Cyrus aside, but it serves to anger the big man as he retaliates, giving Mortis a kick to the gut and then a brainbuster! He's about to do the same to Rik, but Rik blocks the kick, sneaking in and dropping Cyrus with the Cat Crash and sending both him and the Elite packing! Turning his attentions back to his downed opponent, he then throws Mortis to the corner and four kick combos him, doubling that into a monkey flip out of the corner. Rik is about to pick Mortis up, but Mortis suddenly punches the zoot hard in the throat! As Rik staggers back, Mortis kippups to his feet and capitalizes, kicking Rik in the gut and dropping him with a Christian-style Impaler. Grabbing his legs, Mortis lifts him up and drops him back to his feet, grabbing his head into a sleeper hold! Rik manages to gasp out to Mortis "You... not... *bleep*ing... hardcore!!" before Mortis abruptly drops down with the Flatliner, knocking Rik out!! Mortis then makes the cover... 1... 2... but Mortis jerks Rik's head up!!

Just now Mortis sees the table... and he gets a VERY evil idea. Mortis gets up, leaving Rik and the table in the ring as he searches under the ring for something he saw eariler... he then pulls out a gasoline container and a torch. He climbs back into the ring and pours the gas onto the table... but then Sonnette runs out! Just as Mortis is about to set the table on fire Sonnette leaps over the top rope and kicks him away! She fights Mortis away from Rik, but then Mortis side-steps and brains Sonnette with the torch, knocking her senseless! Mortis then grabs the ebon hedgehog and ties her up into the ropes so she can see what he has planned. Mortis lights the table on fire and tosses the torch aside, then picks the just recovering RIk up, setting him up right in front of the burning table and pointing to Sonnette.

Mortis: THIS IS ON YOUR HEAD, HEDGEHOG!!

Mortis then suddenly drops Rik down onto the table with the D.O.A.!!

Sonnette screams in protest as Rik starts to burn; Mortis' left arm and side is also ablaze, but he doesn't seem to feel it as he stands up, pointing at Sonnette as he explodes into dust and sand... just as Lilith runs to ringside, jumping to the ring and enlarging her wings to a tremendous size, smothering the flames from Rik's body before the fire proves to be fatal to the zoot. Lilith checks on Rik... then sighs in relief... and then goes to Sonnette and manages to free her. Sonnette quickly goes to Rik and cradles his smoking unconscious form... head bowed as she tries to keep her anger in check over what Mortis had almost done...

***Now it's lions who are humping for two whole minutes... someone should try to fix the satellite connections =-/***

DURING THE BREAK: Mortis is seen walking down the hallway laughing to himself... suddenly Sonnette comes from out of nowhere and smacks Mortis in the back of the head with the tombstone!! As it shatters into thousands of useless pieces of stone Mortis drops like one himself. Sonnette can be heard screaming at the downed Undead Warrior...

Sonnette: YOU SON OF A BITCH!! YOU WANT HARDCORE?! JUST WAIT 'TILL AGRESSION! I'LL KILL YOUR UNDEAD ASS!! YOU HEAR ME! YOU'RE DEAD!!

Sonnette kicks Mortis' gut then storms off... Mortis slowly gets up... chuckling evilly.

Mortis: ... Not unless you die first...

Camera switch back to the arena, where Damien Kintobor is leading his charges Mideon and Viscera down the aisle as "The Perfect Drug" plays over the PA, a chorus of boos rain down on the Neo-Horde. The trio enters the ring, and Damien asks for a mic.

Damien: Well... tonight my charges, Viscera and Mideon, face you two... Kaye and Sasori, Scorpion's Pyre.

The fans let out a huge pop upon hearing the Knight Cross' elite tag team's name. Damien sighs softly and continues.

Damien: Yes, you're all obligated to cheer the lovebirds... not that it'll do you any good, but go ahead! In fact... Kaye and Sasori... I'm here to tell you that true love is overrated... your love won't help you win this match... in fact, let's up the ante!

Damien then waves his hand, and the rope suddenly change shape into razor-sharp barbed wire!!

Damien: This match is now a barbed wire tornado match!! So come on out, Scorpion's Pype, and face your destiny!!

"We're In This Together" cues up... out comes Sasori Shirono and Kaye; Scorpion's Pyre, who both look to the new match before them. As Kaye slips her mask on, the two lovers look to one another... then run straight into the ring and begin to take the fight to the neophytes of the Neo-Horde!

Barbed Wire Tornado Match
Scorpion's Pyre Vs. Mideon & Viscera

Mideon meets Sasori with a dropkick to the chest, nearing sending the Dark Wraith to the barbed wire, while Kaye dodges a kick from the massive Viscera, grabbing him and slamming the big man easily with the Stygian Bomb! Kaye quickly comes to her man's aid and throws a high crescent kick to Mideon's head, but Viscera isn't downed yet, as he drives down her masked head with a bulldog! Surprisingly she shrugs that off, as Sasori clothslines big Vis from behind! Mideon goes to attack Kaye, maneuvering behind her and dropping her with a high angle backdrop and Vis gets the upper hand on Sasori, side backbreaking him. Somehow Kaye is shrugging off Mideon's attacks as she sits up, then quickly gets to her feet, throwing a throat thrust to the seer, then turns and grabs Vis by the throat, lifting the over 500 pounder with ease in a throat toss!! Sasori cold cocks Mideon with a European uppercut, then goes to help Kaye; the two double Irish whip big Vis right into the barbed wire, lacerating the big man's back badly!! As Viscera staggers from the wire on wobbly legs, Kaye seizes his neck and is about to give him the One Handed Chokeslam, but Damien slides a steel chair into the ring for Mideon, who wisely uses it to lay out Sasori! This catches Kaye's attention, who releases Viscera from her hold and faces down Mideon, evil intentions in her mismatched eyes. Mideon swings and hits Kaye in the head with the steel chair... but she no-sells it! Mideon swings again; STILL no affect!! Mideon is about to swing again, but Kaye just yanks the chair from Mideon and grabs his throat, lifts him up with ease, and drives him down with the One Handed Chokeslam!!
Behind Kaye's back Viscera grabs a hold of Sasori and clothesline him chest-first into the barbed wire!

Suddenly something unexpected happens... someone from the crowd, grabbing an empty chair, leaping over the barricade, he immediately hits Damien over the back with it!! That someone looks like... yes, it's "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!! He releases the chair and starts beating on the winged hedgehog, then sees help coming in the form of The Overlord Krist Jonnson and Marshall Genesis! Wisely he climbs back over the barricade and escapes through the crowd, but not before shouting to the recovering Damien, "YOU'VE JUST BEEN FRANCHISED!!"

While that's going on, Kaye just noticed Sasori's predicament... seeing his cut-up chest serves to anger the Hot Pink Machine, as she immediately goes after Viscera... but Mideon manages to take advantage, giving her a vicious low blow that manages to stagger her, then capitalizes with the Eye Opener! Vis also capitalizes and quickly (at least as quick as he can for a man of his girth) ascends the top rope and comes down on Kaye with the big splash! Sasori tries to save Kaye, but it's no use as Mideon stops him, and Vis gets the three count.

Winners: Mideon & Viscera

The barbed wire morph back to normal ring ropes, allowing the battered and bloodied... but victorious Neo-Horde neophytes to exit the ring. Kaye sits up... slowly... and holds her chest in pain as Sasori goes to tend to her, helping her to her feet as he looks to Mideon and Viscera with his cold, emotionless gaze, looking upon the assembled Empire and Neo-Horde members.

***Now we see elephants doing it for two straight minutes... you hear that playful giggling in the background?***

Back to the program, we see Michael Cole with "The Franchise" himself at the backstage.

Cole: "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, you deemed yourself a free agent when you left WCW! Why are you here in the EAW?

Douglas gives Cole a rather unhappy look, then snatches the mic from him and pie-faces him away.

Douglas: Apparently, President Jay didn't have the guts to tell that worthless scrub Kintobor to his face how badly this Dungeon of Doom 2000 thing sucked... so I volunteared to bury it for him!
But you see, my job isn't going to be limited to a Battle Dome reject, King Mabel, Phineas, and an AWF jobber... no, that would be all too simple... You see, I'm sick and tired of how big a laughing stock this pathetic federation really is. That's why I'm here...I'm not going to stop until I run each and every worthless gimmick, every embarrasment and every fuzzball out of this god forsaken federation.
It doesn't matter if you're "A Dark Overlord" or the world champion... or even the lowliest worker.. because I'll be doing the same thing each of you that Ric Flair, Vince McMahon, and Shawn Michaels all did to me... Because I am The Franchise. Oh, and I'm not done tonight... not by a long shot... 'cause before it's all said and done, someone else is gonna get big time Franchised!!

Douglas spikes the mic to the ground and trudges off, as we go to ringside... with Crucifix, the ref, and ring announcer Howard Finkel... the ref is speaking to the Fink, telling him something... and then the Fink speaks.

Fink: Ladies and gentlemen, I have been informed that the EAW European champion, Black Widow, is nowhere in the arena, therefore, the referee has declared this match a forfeit, and that Crucifix is now--

Before the Fink can finish his declaration, we cut to the backstage area... just coming into the ring, still in her Japanese school uniform (or fuku), is Black Widow!! Lilith is the first to greet her.

Lilith: Oseiko! Hey, you're just in time! Your match is about to start!

BW: Shimatta, no time to get changed! I gotta go!!

As Black Widow rushes to the ring, Lilith stops nd blinks... then smiles.

Lilith: We have fanservice sign! Woo-hoo!!

"Voices" cues up as Black Widow emerges from the entryway, looking upon her opponent with a sigh... then takes a quick honorable bow to him just before she rushes to the ring, vaulting over the top rope and taking the fight to Crucifix! The bell rings!

EAW European Title Match
Black Widow (c) Vs. Crucifix

The Widow throws a pump kick to Crucifix's chest, knocking him down. She immediately goes for a standing moonsault for the pin, but gets a one count. The Widow picks Crucifix up, but her opponent lands an elbow to her gut, setting her up for an implant DDT! Widow rolls around, holding her head in agony as Crucifix watches... then walks over to pick her up, suddenly from out of nowhere -- Kumouchikomu!!! The Widow goes for the pin... NO, only a two count! The Widow looks almost fustrated as she climbs the top rope and hits a spectacular shooting star press on Crucifix and tries to pin him again, but he kicks out without even a one count! The Widow sighs deeply, then looks around... swallowing her pride she pulls off her skirt, revealing her panties (!!) and waits until Crucifix stands up, and attempts the Kumo No Sasu, but Crucifix side-steps! Grabbing her attacking foot he leg drags her, countering the thrust kick, then keeps a hold on her leg, applying the ankle lock! The Widow cries out in pain, but refuses to submit. proving she's made of sterner stuff than what people take her for! Annoyed by her persistance, Crucifix rolls out of the ring and snatches a chair from ringside. Rolling back in he sets the chair up near the ring corner, then goes to the Widow just as she gets up, then drops her back to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker! Judging her to be sufficiently weakened, Crucifix props her up into the chair, climbs the top rope and hits his Flaming Cros, spearing the Widow right out of the chair!! Throwing the chair aside Crucifix goes to pin Black Widow... 1... 2... NO!! She gets a shoulder up at the last second! Crucifix grabs upthe Widow's hair and Irish whips her to the ropes, but the Widow slides under his legs, grabbing his ankles, and just like that, she's applied the Kumo No Amimono!! She bares down on Crucifix, who's straining to get to the ropes as best he can... reaching for all he's got... and he reaches them! The Widow has no choice but to release Crucifix from the elevated crab! Black Widow refuses to surrender though as she climbs the top rope... it looks like she may try to finish off Crucifix with the Dragonrana... but Crucifix beats her to the punch! Kicking her hard in the stomach, he sets her up... and drives her down with the 7th Sin!! The Widow fought a valiant fight, but to no avail; three seconds later we have a new European champion!

Winner And New EAW European Champion: Crucifix

The Widow manages to stagger up to her feet... realizing she lost she grabs the belt from the ref before he can award it to Crucifix... looking to her opponent, she sighs deeply and hands him the belt, bowing honorably as she does. Crucifix snatches the belt from Widow's hands and just stares at her... the Widow is clearly disappointed, tears running down her eyes as she climbs out of the ring and heads to the back. Meanwhile Crucifix's running buddies from the Empire... Krist Jonsson and Marshall Genesis... run in to celebrate with the new European champion, but for some reason he doesn't feel like celebrating as Crucifix passes them and silently heads up the rampway. We switch to Michael Cole and the former European champion herself.

Cole: Black Widow, you showed surprising sportsmanship tonight, awarding the European title to Crucifix after he defeated you. Do you have plans on attempting to win back the title?

The Widow looks to Cole... wiping her tears.

BW: Cole-san... I don't know. I really don't know... I... I disobeyed my sensei and went to the match and he said he was going to suspend me if I did and I did and I... I... g.. gomen nasai...

The Widow sniffles, then runs off from Cole, clearly upset...

***Two rhinos getting it on?! For two whole minutes?!! What the heck's going on here?!***

After the (can we really call them commerical breaks?!), we see Crucifix outside the arena walking away with the EAW European title in hand, not stopping for anything. Meanwhile we're in the Knight Cross' dressing room; Morrigan is busy tending to Sasori's wounds as Shaed is busy consoling the crying Black Widow. Kaye sums up the night for everyone.

Kaye: Is it just me, or is this "Everything Sucks For The Knight Cross" night?

We cut back to the ring... "I Still Don't Give A F*ck" plays up as the Flyboy heads down the ring and climbs in, standing up to the top rope and waits for his partner... "Wake Up" cues up and out comes Sonnette... still miffed over what happened to Rik at the hands of Mortis, she climbs into the ring and both she and Flyboy exchange some words, some of it heated. Then... to no music comes the Eternal... more focused than he's ever been. Knowing how high the stakes are he dashes to the ring and starts to fight for his very career!!

2 on 1 loser leaves town match
Flyboy/Sonnette vs. The Eternal

The Eternal does his best against both Flyboy and Sonnette; he's done his homework too, punching Sonnette in her injured ribs and attacking the Flyboy primarily, driving kick after kick into his gut while his furry partner attempts to recover. The Flyboy has had enough of that though, giving the Eternal a low blow and a quick Fly-Down! He goes for the pin, but the Eternal kicks out! Sonnette moves in for the attack and grabs the Eternal, driving him down the Sonic Boom! She makes a cover... 1... 2... NO! SOMEHOW the Eternal kicks out!! President Jay Gonzalez himsef suddenly comes out, slightly annoyed with the ineffectiveness of both Sonnette and Flyboy's attempts to put away the Eternal, and tells the timekeeper to ring the bell... then tells the Fink wha happened... Howard Finkel hesitiates, but reluctantly relays what he was told.

Fink: Ladies and gentlemen the winners of the match via disqualification, The Flyboy and Sonnette! The Eternal must leave the EAW!

The Flyboy blinks and looks confused, while Sonnette is clearly outraged, shouting "DQ'ed?! What the hell are you talking about?! He didn't do anything to cause a DQ!!" President Jay merely shrugs and says "The rules are the rules..." and calmly walks off as "Testify" cues up his departure... leaving the Eternal and the reluctant winners in the ring, clearly disgusted over what has happened.

***Ferretts doing it?! For two straight minutes?! Has the sponsors lost their minds?! o_O;;***

Cole: I'm standing by with the Eternal, who has just been defeated by Flyboy and Sonnette by "DQ," and now must leave the EAW. Eternal, what are your thoughts as this has transpired?

Eternal: There is not much to say... save that I was screwed. All I can say is this... it's up to the heroes here in the EAW to carry on without me... and to make sure our "beloved president" doesn't do this again.

Jay's Voice: Why're you still here?! Leave now, you piece of trash, or I'll call security on you!!

President Jay gets up in the Eternal's face and promptly elbows him in the face, then drops him in the Exploder '99!!

Jay: Get his ass outta here!! He makes me sick!!

Security picks up the struggling Eternal and drag him away as Jay smiles deviously... then goes to Cole and grabs the mic from him.

Jay: Let that be a lesson to everyone in the EAW! You get out of line, you get your ass fired!! My work here is done, I'm outta here!

Jay tosses the mic back to Cole... as we go back to the ring... "The Way I am" by Eminem cues up as we see Triple H move to the ring, climbing in and looking to the booing crowd as he raises his arms upward, spewing water into the air as he does. As he climbs in "Night Fears (Sasami)" cues up... and out walks little Ariel, smiling softly as she walks halfway down to the ramp and then stops. She back to the entrance... and a sudden burst of flame explodes... "Kane's Theme" cues up as the Big Red Machine heads down the aisle, adjusting his single glove as he passes Ariel, then climbs into the ring; the two superstars immediately start trading punches as the bell rings!

No Holds Barred Match
Triple H Vs. Kane

Kane and Triple H trade punches repeatedly, then Triple H kicks Kane hard in the groin, then grabs his head for a knee to the face... but Kane just jerks right back up, not even feeling it!! Triple H blinks, then quickly ducks out of the ring before Kane can grab him for a chokeslam! But Kane will have none of that as he climbs over the top rope and runs right after "the Decadent!" Triple H sees Kane coming and quickly snatches up a steel chair, then rushes Kane with it, smacking him in the head hard and dropping him to the floor!

Then Kane sits up!

Triple H grimaces in anger and wallops Kane again, forcing him back down! But Kane refuses to stay down, getting up even after repeated chair shots!! Triple H discards the chair and quickly climbs back into the ring; seeing Ariel cheer Kane on he points at Ariel and tells her to "shut the *bleep* up!" Talking down to Ariel only serves to fire up Kane as he climbs back into the ring, advancing towards Triple H with evil intentions. Triple H sees Kane coming and grabs Kane and overhead belly suplexes him out of the ring, nearly smashing into Ariel!! Ariel quickly checks on Kane to see if he's okay, but Triple H climbs out and stares down Ariel, smirking at the small child. Ariel turns to see Triple H, then stands firm as Kane begins to recover. Triple H tells Ariel to get out of the way, but Ariel shakes her head, calling "the Decadent" a "big meanie and I hate you!!" Triple H merely shrugs, and bats Ariel away from Kane, grabbing the Big Red Machine's hair and picking him up, setting him up for the Pedigree onto the concrete floor! But Kane powers out, back dropping Triple H!! Then he sees Ariel hurt. Overcome with grief he forgets about the match entirely and picks Ariel up into his arms and heads up the rampway with her. Triple H slowly gets up... seeing Kane leave he shakes his head... "I don't think so, you big red freak..." he mutters as he runs after Kane and grabs him from behind; with Kane's hands full there's nothing he can do as Triple H throws Kane AND Ariel off the stage!!! Kane thankfully takes the brunt of the fall, sparing Ariel any injury. Triple H looks down at what he done and walks off as Kane slowly sits up... still holding Ariel in his arms.

***Two hippos mating for two whole minutes, oh now THAT'S just wrong!! O_O;;;***

Kaye is seen rushing down the hallway, absolutely frantic as she calls out Ariel's name. Finally she opens a door and finds Kane and Ariel.

Kaye: Ariel, Kane! Oh, thank God! I--

Kane quickly gets up and grabs Kaye by the neck! Ariel's still out of it from Triple H's attack, so she can't do anything as Kane chokeslams his own female counterpart through the bench!! Picking up Ariel, he walks away from Kaye... who slowly sits up, holding her head.

Kaye: Kane, no... Ariel... she's my foster daughter... ow... let me help her... please...

"High On Your Own Supply" cues up as "The Wicked One" himself walks down to the ring... then pauses as he looks to the entranceway and waits... then "There's A Fire In The House" cues up as "Code Red" Michael Connelly emerges from the entranceway... and is quickly taken by surprise as Purgatory dashes at him and power clotheslines him! Purgatory then pounds at him repeatedly, then grabs him and carries him to the ring and rolls him inside... the bell rings...

Non-Title Match
Code Red Vs. Purgatory

Purgatory picks Connelly up and immediately hits the Reality Bites; clearly he's out to finish off the People's champ quickly as he goes for a pin, but Code Red kicks out at one! Purgatory snatches Code Red up, but he suddenly starts to fight back! Throwing at least three punches to the gut, then does a quick DDT to Purgatory! As he slowly gets up Code Red waits for it... then grabs him from behind -- Crimson Tide! He goes for the pin... but Purgatory POWERS out, throwing his opponent off! Code Red is a tenacious competitier though as he grabs Purgatory and hits the Crimson Crunch Clutch! Once more going for the pin, he gets a two count only! Code Red picks "The Wicked One up, but suddenly Purgatory sweeps Code Red off his feet and immediately hits the Death of a Child!! With Code Red stunned and in agony Purgatory picks him up and gets ready to set him up for the Reality Snap... when Code Red counters, backdropping him!! Quickly Code Red picks Purgatory up and Irish whips him to the corner clothslining him, anothr whip to the corner, ANOTHER clothsline! It's easy to see it's the Immaculate Perplexion he's doing, and after the spear Code Red signals for the Condition Red! Suddenly Marshall Genesis and Krist Jonsson rush out and blindside Code Red!! Saving Purgatory from utter defeat... but not the DQ.

Winner: Code Red via DQ

evertheless Code Red is being pounded on by the Empire members... but then suddenly out comes Shaed and Black Widow (still in her fuku, btw ^^;), who start fighting off the Empire from Code Red, driving them back! The Overlord points at Shaed and vows to him that he'll be destroyed at Agression, while Shaed merely nods; the Widow helps Code Red up as we go to commerical break... we hope.

***AGH! squirrels doing it?! This is madness!! MADNESS!!!! @_@!!***

We return to the ring with Flyboy in the ring, waiting for his opponent; "I Still Don't GIve A F*ck" fades out... and Metallica's "Imperial March" cues up; out come the Overlord himself as he walks down the aisle, pointing at the Flyboy and badmouthing him in his usual style. And as Overlord slides into the ring the Flyboy goes on the attack right on the spot, stomping him down!

"I Quit Match"
The Flyboy vs. Overlord Krist Jonnson

Flyboy picks Jonnson up and sets him up for a spinning heel kick, but Jonnson manages to duck, throwing a low blow! As he staggers back the Overlord grabs the Fly One and DDTs him to the mat! Knowing the stipulations he rolls out of the ring and grabs a mic, then hits Flyboy with it, then locks in an STF! Jonnson screams at Flyboy to submit, but Flyboy won't do it! Jonnson lets go of the hold and stomps down Flyboy, then picks him up; but suddenly Flyboy drops a Double Arm DDT!! Quickly he locks in a chickenwing crossface! Now it's Jonnson's turn to scream in agony, but he refuses to quit! Flyboy keeps at it, then out of aggravation picks the Overlord up and hits the Fly-Plex! Flyboy then moves down and locks in a figure-four leglock! Overlord still refuses to quit, though... then with a supreme amount of effort, he manages to turn the figure-four over, reverseing the pressure to him!! But Flyboy STILL won't submit! Finally he reaches the ropes, forcing the Overlord to release the hold. Overlord then picks Flyboy up and starts to punch him, but Flyboy starts fighting back, throwing punches of his own! Suddenly Kane comes out from the backstage, still cradling Ariel as Kaye runs after him, following him and calling out to Kane to give her her foster daughter! Kane climbs into the ring and so does Kaye; right there in the middle of the Flyboy and Overlord's match the Machines... Big Red and Hot Pink... face one another!

Kaye: Kane, please!! She's my daughter! I love her as much as you do! Just please give her to me! I promise I won't hurt her! PLEASE! I--

Suddenly Kaye is shoved by the Overlord, who badmouths the Hot Pink Machine right there on the spot! Kaye isn't in the mood to deal with him so she promptly One Handed Chokeslams him!! Flyboy, a bit weak from all the submission holds, accidentally bumps into Kane; the Big Red Machine gently lets go of Ariel, then immediately seizes Flyboy's neck and chokeslams HIM!!

Winner: None (Thrown Out Due To Outside Interference)

Kaye quickly grabs Ariel up and rushes out of the ring... Ariel slowly comes to and hugs Kaye close.

Ariel: It's okay, Kaye... he was just protecting me...

Kaye nods in understanding as Kane looks at the departing Kaye and Ariel... just as he's about to climb out of the ring after them the Flyboy grabs him from behind and lands the Fly Down on him! The Overlord by now has climbed out, pointing to the Fly One that this isn't over yet between them. Camera switch to the backstage area... it's "the Revenant" Shaed Bloodgrave, EAW World title in hand and his wife Morrigan at his side, as he makes his way down the ring! We cut to another part of the ring as Red "Rock" West, with Gajetto-chan and a six-pack of Jolt™ in hand, also makes her way to the ring! She's heard to call out "Okay, you big Bradshaw Gothic wanna-be!! Time for you and your Chris Kanyon clones to fall big time!! Bwahahahahahaaaa!!!" Yes, the Main Event is next!!!

***Strange... just a blank screen...? Suddenly Lilith pops out and shouts out "GOTCHA!!!" She laughs playfully and flies off.... so SHE was the one fooling around with the satellite connections?! Wow...!!***

Red "Rock" West slowly enters the arena as "Crushed" by Limp Bizkit cues up, she's still carrying that 6-pack of Jolt™ (guess we have to pay the sponsors SOMEHOW... ^^;;) and proceeds to make a Sandman-style entrance, guzzling them down and smashing them against her head. Tossing the empty cans aside she places Gajetto-chan in her corner and and awaits her opponent, smiling quietly... then "Engel" cues up and out comes "the Revenant" Shaed Bloodgrave, with Morrigan Aensland Bloodgrave at his side. Shaed looks to Morrigan and tells her to wait back in the dressing room, obviously worried for her physical condition being pregnant. Morrigan nods, then gives Shaed a quick kiss good luck before she departs to the backstage. Shaed then walks down the aisle and climbs in; immediately Red stages a bum rush and attacks Shaed before the bell rings! Shaed is beat down in the corner, but the petite Red is not doing much against the 6 foot 2 inch Shaed, as he pie faces her right onto her ass! NOW the bell rings...

EAW World Title Rematch
"The Revenant" Shaed Bloodgrave (c) Vs. Red "Rock West
(Added Stipulation: The belt can change hands via disqualification)

It's a clear mismatch... both Red and Shaed seem to know it, but Red doesn't care as she lunges for Shaed! But Shaed side-steps; Red may not care, but he does! Shaed maneuvers around and grabs Red from behind and reverse brainbusts her, then combos that into a toehold half crab! She screams, but doesn't tap out! Shaed keeps the hold on; clearly he wants to end the match quickly... but Red reaches the ropes, forcing Shaed to release the hold. Shaed picks Red up, but suddenly she counter-attacks, delivering a beautiful hurricanrana!! As Shaed attempts to get up Red quickly mounts and punches at the World Champ, then badmouths him right to his face! Suddenly he retaliates, rolling on top of her and applying the longbow backbreaker!! As he applies pressure on Red's lower back he shouts out to her "I do not wish to harm you! Submit now!!" Red's response: "NEVER!!!" Red frantically tries to get to the ropes, and once more does; Shaed releases her, and steps back, adjusting his gloves. Suddenly Red charges forwards for a spear, which is quickly countered by a thrust kick by Shaed! Shaed sighs deeply, then goes for a pin; He only gets a one and a half count. Shaed grabs Red's head and slams the back of it to the mat, stunning her, then goes to the top rope and hits the turnaround moonsault on her! Another pin... NO, only a two count!! Shaed picks Red up again, but suddenly Red kicks Shaed right in the groin!! As he drops to one knee Red celebrates... "NO MORE BAT-BABIES, NO MORE BAT-BABIES!!! YAAAYYYY!!!!" ... but then Shaed stands up...!! Grabbing Red from behind he grabs her along the chest... having enough of this match, he throws his head back and shouts out "SHO GEKI--"

But "the Franchise" Shane Douglas runs in! A steel chair in hand he swings and... clocks Red?! Shaed blinks as Red falls from his grasp... the referee easily sees it, and calls for the bell, taking the bell and raising Red's arm in victory!!

Winner and new EAW World Champion: Red "Rock" West

Instead of "Crushed" though, "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple cues up... "the Franchise's" theme as he leaves the ring and points at Shaed, laughing at him! Shaed stares at the Franchise, his eyes narrowed... then he picks up the unconscious new EAW champ, belt laid upon her stomach, and leaves the ring with her; EMTs arrive on the scene and Shaed lowers her gently onto the gurney, continuing on his way to the backstage, as if he's following Douglas!

What will this do for Agression now tha Red "Rock" West is now World Champion?!

Stay tuned...
